Chapter 918: Ice Prison

“Venerable Zikoukou!” Luo Feng inwardly cursed, realizing he had fallen short by a move and now was in serious trouble.

Luo Feng slightly bowed to show respect, “Greetings, Venerable Zikoukou!”

“You’re truly impressive, little one,” Venerable Zikoukou looked at Luo Feng with an ambiguous smile. “You actually managed to make a Cosmic Venerable run around pointlessly, making his trip completely in vain.”

“No matter how impressive I am, I couldn’t escape Venerable Zikoukou’s pursuit,” Luo Feng shook his head and curiously asked, “May I ask how Venerable Zikoukou managed to find me? After all, I had already lured away Venerable Qingkoukou.”

Venerable Zikoukou gazed at Luo Feng with interest. She hadn’t expected that the mastermind behind the theft of the seemingly useless ‘black metal plate’ would be so calm and eloquent in front of her, speaking as if he were chatting with an elder. Was this kid not worried at all? Not worried she would kill him? Not worried she would enslave his soul?

“Venerable Zikoukou,” Luo Feng felt somewhat uneasy under her gaze.

“You’re not afraid I’ll kill you, or enslave you?” she asked.

“I’ve already fallen into this predicament, and I can’t resist. What use is fear?” Luo Feng replied.

“Fascinating.”

Venerable Zikoukouou chuckled. “You’re quite interesting. You sent a subordinate from the Mosha Clan to steal… just a useless piece of special metal plate. Although the black metal plate is somewhat unique, it’s utterly useless. Tarasha possesses Ice Hell Starstone, yet you didn’t steal that; instead, you stole the useless black metal plate. Fascinating indeed.”

“My subordinates are not very capable; their vision is narrow, and they know little about treasures in the universe. Upon seeing the black metal plate and discovering its uniqueness, they assumed it was a treasure, so they stole it,” Luo Feng shook his head. “Perhaps they also knew… that the Ice Hell Starstone would be heavily guarded, so they didn’t dare attempt to steal it.”

“He was smart. If he had stolen Tarasha’s Ice Hell Starstone, Tarasha would have immediately suspected he was a fake Beifa,” Venerable Zikoukou nodded. “This black metal plate was something I obtained by chance long ago. However, after some research, no one discovered its use, so I treated it as a toy and passed it around among my clansmen. Eventually, it ended up with Tarasha and was carelessly placed there.”

Luo Feng was stunned.

A toy?

Indeed, the black metal plate contained the “Nine Calamities Secret Canon,” which, under the constraints of the cosmic operation laws, could only be used by himself. For others, they couldn’t obtain the “Nine Calamities Secret Canon” from it, nor could they use it for anything else. It was likely that both Venerables couldn’t recognize the uniqueness of the black metal plate’s material, so they naturally treated it as a toy.

“I wonder if Venerable Zikoukou could let me go. I am willing to atone for my actions,” Luo Feng slightly bowed. It wasn’t that he was daydreaming, but according to the information gathered by the Virtual Universe Company… both Venerable Zikoukou and Venerable Qingkoukou loved treasures. Indeed, some captured aliens had their subordinates deliver treasures to redeem themselves, and it had worked.

“Let you go?” Venerable Zikoukou looked at Luo Feng with interest. “Alright, that black metal plate is just a toy. I can consider selling it to you as a favor, though the price for atonement will be high.”

“Please tell me what Venerable Zikoukou requires,” Luo Feng’s heart leaped with joy.

There were precedents for redemption. He never expected he’d be lucky enough for the black metal plate not to be reclaimed.

“Considering your methods and background are also extraordinary, the price naturally will be even—” Venerable Zikoukou’s expression suddenly turned grim as she looked at Luo Feng and said gravely, “Little one, you’ve actually forced Venerable Qingkoukou to burn some of his immortal body, clearly provoking his anger. It seems I can’t just let you go.”

Luo Feng’s expression slightly changed; he naturally knew how furious Venerable Qingkoukou was with his Mosha Clan clone.

“Come with me!” Venerable Zikoukou no longer wasted words with Luo Feng. An invisible spatial wave swept around.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Directly performing three consecutive teleportations, each covering over a thousand light-years. When Luo Feng’s surroundings finally stabilized, he was already on an extremely cold planet… Luo Feng looked around; it was an endless icy planet, and in the sky, he could also see other Ice Hell Stars.

“This is on an Ice Hell Star, and it should be a very large one, the residence of either Venerable Zikoukou or Venerable Qingkoukou,” Luo Feng thought.

“Where is the spaceship?” Luo Feng noticed he had originally been inside the spaceship, but now it was gone. “Looks like the living spaceship was also taken away.”

Boom!

A powerful aura appeared in the sky, staring down at Luo Feng. It was indeed Venerable Qingkoukou.

“Haha… this time you’ve really embarrassed yourself,” Venerable Zikoukou laughed.

“Hmph, this human,” Venerable Qingkoukou landed and stared at Luo Feng. “Was it you who arranged the Mosha Clan? Where exactly is the main body of the Mosha Clan? That Mosha Clan mustn’t have been his main body since he dared to die so easily.”

“Venerable Qingkoukou, the main body of the Mosha Clan is my good friend,” Luo Feng respectfully replied. “I asked his Mosha Clan clone to help me this time, and I already owe him a favor. How could I reveal his location?”

Beside them, the Purple Thunder Lord chuckled and said, “Fool, just name someone special—like your friend here, a disciple of the Giant Axe Creator, or the Chaos City Lord… In short, any of your human race’s supreme beings. Let’s see if he dares to seek revenge.” The Purple Thunder Lord smirked mockingly as he spoke.

“Hmph.” Lord Qingdou Kou glared at Luo Feng. “Hateful! Absolutely hateful! Killing you like this would be far too merciful…”

Suddenly—

High above in the distance, ripples spread through space as dozens of figures emerged from cosmic travel—some were green Dōu Kou, others purple Dōu Kou, all strikingly handsome yet eerie in appearance. They swooped down one after another, their numbers growing steadily. The surrounding space continued to ripple as more and more of them appeared.

“Is this the one who pretended to be me?” Beifa stared at Luo Feng.

“The one disguised as you has already been killed, and this is the mastermind behind it,” said Qingdoukou the Venerable in a low voice.

“The leader is amazing! He not only killed that disguised alien but also captured the mastermind,” Beifa exclaimed excitedly. A group of World Lords nearby watched Luo Feng with fascination, as if observing something extraordinary. These Doudou beings… lived in harmony with one another, and their attitude toward their leader was not the typical fear that World Lords usually held toward Cosmic Reverends. Instead, it was a kind of reverence one might show toward a grandfather.

“Chief, you killed that outsider. That outsider even held my hand,” Yawu seemed somewhat unhappy.

“That’s an imposter in disguise!” Beifa shouted from the side. “I’m the real Beifa!”

“Got it,” Yawulian replied.

Hundreds of bandits were in an uproar, while Talasha fixed her gaze on Luo Feng, her eyes filled with killing intent. Clearly, she was deeply displeased after being deceived by Luo Feng’s Mosha Clan clone earlier.

“Two leaders, I don’t know how to deal with this alien human,” Tarasa asked. Immediately, Yawu, Beifa, and a large group of Doukou around them turned their gaze towards the two leaders.

The Green Doukou Venerable One looked at the Purple Doukou Venerable One beside him.

The Purple Robe Venerable One smiled and said, “You seem quite angry. It’s up to you to decide.”

“Hmph.” The Qingdoukou Venerable glared at Luo Feng. “We’ll take our time dealing with him. Talasha… you personally escort him and take him to the Ice Prison!”

“Yes!”

“Wow, Ice Prison?”

“This foreigner is in for some bad luck.”

“The Ice Prison is about to open again.”

The other Boundary Lords, the Doukou, cheered one after another.

Luo Feng’s expression darkened, but inwardly he thought, “The Ice Prison? Just as I expected. As long as they don’t kill me… they’ll definitely throw me into the Ice Prison. Hmm, I still have a chance. There’s no need to involve my teacher, Primal Chaos City Leader, for now.”

This area… why is it called the Ice Prison Star Belt?

Why are these frigid planets not called Frost Stars or some other name, but instead referred to as “Ice Prison Stars”? Why include the word “prison”?

It’s because the entire Ice Prison Star Belt has a legendary place… that is, the ‘Ice Prison’. According to the information Luo Feng obtained, this ‘Ice Prison’ is a special large-scale treasure similar to the ‘Sealing Star’, used to suppress and imprison powerful beings. It directly confines and suppresses numerous formidable individuals within it. This treasure is controlled by one of the two Universe Masters.

“Go.” Three superpowerful beings among the Dooku, including Talasha, stared at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng did not resist.

The obedient captive was no joke—Talasha and the other two undying Dukou were among the top ten strongest of their kind. Each of them possessed a basic divine body strength equivalent to tens of millions of times that of a World Lord, amplified further by physical and psychic enhancements… Individually, any one of them could rival Zhenyan King in power!

This is what makes them extraordinary life forms! Their foundation is far superior to that of humans, and the three of them are the finest among the immortal Dòukòu, so naturally, they are formidable.

Previously, the Demon Slayer Clan’s clone managed to escape because, firstly, soul attacks are ineffective against the Demon Slayer Clan, and secondly, the Demon Slayer Clan can teleport instantly… Even Zhen Yan Wang couldn’t pursue them. Only a universe venerable who has mastered the complete laws of space can chase down a teleporting escapee.

……

In the dark universe.

A spacecraft was slowly gliding through space, and inside the control room stood Tianzhen Wang.

Inside the World Ring of Tianzhen Wang.

“Roar!” The massive body of the Golden Horned Beast coiled there, while within its inner world, the Demon Slayer Clan clone was currently being nurtured.

Whew!

The black-clothed Luo Feng appeared by the side.

“Master.” Many powerful beings, including King Fushui, bowed respectfully.

“Luckily, I kept a backup plan,” Luo Feng in black muttered under his breath. “I knew the trial arranged by that alien supreme being might not be so straightforward. That’s why my vital ‘origin core’ absolutely cannot be compromised. After all, if I perish, even if Teacher Primal Chaos City Lord reverses time and space to resurrect me… I probably wouldn’t regain treasures like the Star Tower or the secret manual ‘Nine Tribulations’.”

Among the many plans to be implemented, there is one prerequisite—the safety of the prokaryote must be ensured.

So—

When the Demon Slayer Clan clone took action, the Earthling original body separated from the Golden Horned Beast clone. The Golden Horned Beast clone carried the original nucleus, along with figures like Tianzhen Wang, and traveled through the dark universe aboard a spacecraft.

“Among all my plans, no matter how many collapse, at least the prokaryotes are fine.”

“The Earthling’s true self has the Tower Pearl guarding his soul, making it impossible for him to be controlled by external forces. If subjected to a forced attack, for the sake of the many treasures on the Earthling’s true self, I would have no choice but to seek help from Teacher Primal Chaos City Lord,” Luo Feng in black thought to himself. “But now, it seems unnecessary. Those two don’t appear to have discovered that I possess treasures. Instead, they intend to imprison me in the Ice Prison.”
