The two Cosmic Sovereigns obviously didn’t know… that the Earthling they had captured was merely Luo Feng’s Earthly Form. Although the ‘Murderous Wings,’ ‘Star-Preaching Chart,’ and ‘Pagoda Bead’ on Luo Feng’s Earthly Form were extremely important, if things got desperate and Luo Feng summoned his teacher, the Chaos Lord, the treasures could easily be taken away.
The Star-Preaching Chart and Pagoda Bead were merely classified as ‘Supreme Treasures.’ Even if the Chaos Lord discovered them, he wouldn’t seize them.
Therefore, Luo Feng still felt quite confident. However, summoning the Chaos Lord was a last resort, something he would never do unless pushed to the brink.
…
Inside the core of Purple Doukou Sovereign’s Ice Prison Planet, within a towering ice palace over ten thousand kilometers high.
Azure Doukou Sovereign and Purple Doukou Sovereign walked side by side within the palace.
“Actually… I really want to slap that human to death!” Azure Doukou Sovereign muttered darkly.
“Are you looking for death? ‘Sitting Mountain Guest’—do you know who he is? He is one of the strongest in the vast universe! If we provoke him, even the powerful allies we have made would not be able to protect us. If you want to die, don’t drag down thousands of our clansmen!” Purple Doukou Sovereign scolded sharply.
Azure Doukou Sovereign quickly laughed, “I was just saying… I mean, we are both mighty Cosmic Sovereigns, ranked among the top in the countless races of the universe. Yet we have to put on an act in front of that human.”
“This was ordered by Sitting Mountain Guest, so naturally we must comply. Besides, Sitting Mountain Guest has given us considerable benefits,” Purple Doukou Sovereign nodded.
“Back then… Sitting Mountain Guest instructed us to place this black metal plate on any Ice Prison Planet, but not on ours, and to wait for aliens to steal it. He even said… if the thief is a blood-and-flesh lifeform, we must not kill them, but instead imprison them in the Ice Prison,” Azure Doukou Sovereign frowned.
“Previously, that Mosha Clan clone was an energy lifeform, so I slapped him to death directly… but it turned out the mastermind behind was this human!”
“You say, why did Sitting Mountain Guest give such an order?” Azure Doukou Sovereign asked.
“Isn’t it obvious? With such meticulous planning, it must be to cultivate and test a strong individual,” Purple Doukou Sovereign’s eyes gleamed. “This human must have been chosen by Sitting Mountain Guest.”
“Cultivating a disciple?” Azure Doukou Sovereign shook his head. “Is there such a ruthless teacher? Sitting Mountain Guest clearly knew our Ice Prison’s rules, yet still sent his chosen disciple here? Even if his disciple is powerful, Sitting Mountain Guest should know exactly what kind of experts are imprisoned in our Ice Prison.”
“Ruthless,” Purple Doukou Sovereign murmured. “Perhaps this is the test. If he fails to pass this trial and dies, it’s essentially the result of Sitting Mountain Guest’s harsh training. It has nothing to do with us.”
“Right,” Azure Doukou Sovereign nodded.
They continued walking and talking.
“But this human is indeed cunning. Even I was deceived by him. How did you find the black metal plate?” Azure Doukou Sovereign asked curiously.
“Back then, Sitting Mountain Guest also instructed that if any alien managed to steal the black metal plate unnoticed, we should let it go. Only if they were caught should we imprison them in the Ice Prison.”
“Hmph.”
Purple Doukou Sovereign chuckled.
“Quickly tell me, how did you discover it?” Azure Doukou Sovereign pressed.
Purple Doukou Sovereign smiled. “That Mosha Clan clone fled with the black metal plate, repeatedly teleporting. Midway, he secretly placed the world ring, disguised as a rock, on a floating mountain range. I noticed immediately… and when I saw another alien take that rock, I followed him. Eventually, I discovered that human! After observing for a while, I confirmed that this human was likely the mastermind, so I appeared.”
“That’s not right!” Azure Doukou Sovereign shook his head. “I was chasing the Mosha Clan clone, but you didn’t. And when the Mosha Clan clone teleported multiple times and placed the disguised world ring on the mountain range, it was an instantaneous act. By the time I teleported there, I didn’t even notice. How could you have noticed? And how could you have had time to investigate?”
Purple Doukou Sovereign smiled mysteriously.
“Tell me, quickly!” Azure Doukou Sovereign was very curious.
“It’s simple,” Purple Doukou Sovereign said proudly. “I left a small mark on the black metal plate. No matter where it went, I could sense it. You and I both have tokens, so I could sense your constant movement. However, the black metal plate remained still. Therefore, I directly teleported there and secretly hid myself, witnessing an alien take the ring containing the black metal plate. Then I followed him, and the result is what you know.”
“You—” Azure Doukou Sovereign’s eyes widened. “You actually left a mark! On the black metal plate!”
“So what?” Purple Doukou Sovereign smiled. “I was always curious about who exactly Sitting Mountain Guest arranged this scheme for… specifically to cultivate. Of course, I wanted to see for myself. But I also worried that if he truly stole it and we didn’t know, we’d miss the opportunity. Just in case, I did this. Haha… Sitting Mountain Guest didn’t prohibit us from doing so. Moreover, Sitting Mountain Guest wanted that blood-and-flesh lifeform who stole the black metal plate to be cultivated in the Ice Prison!”
Azure Doukou Sovereign shook his head in pity for Luo Feng.
He could have succeeded in stealing it, but because of Purple Doukou Sovereign’s curiosity… he ended up failing!
“Poor little fellow, I hope he doesn’t die in the Ice Prison,” Azure Doukou Sovereign sighed.
“Anyway, we can’t interfere. Whether he lives or dies depends on his luck. If he dies, it’s because of Sitting Mountain Guest’s harsh training, nothing to do with us,” Purple Doukou Sovereign shook his head.
“Sitting Mountain Guest wanders alone in the vast universe, with a temperamental personality. Even the major superpowers are unwilling to provoke him. It’s indeed true… what a temperamental old man,” Azure Doukou Sovereign shook his head again.
…
A massive Ice Prison Planet was Azure Doukou Sovereign’s stronghold. On the surface of this planet stood a towering cylindrical ice pillar, about eight hundred kilometers thick and over ten thousand kilometers high, piercing the sky.
Whoosh!
Four figures dove from the sky, it was Tarasha and the other two supreme experts escorting Luo Feng. The space around them was completely sealed, obviously being maintained by one of the experts to prevent the cunning human from teleporting away.
What they didn’t know was… without the Mosha Clan clone’s help, Luo Feng’s Earthly Form couldn’t teleport at all.
“That’s the Ice Prison?” Luo Feng gazed at the huge cylindrical ice pillar, a mighty aura radiating from it, rivaling the Suppressing Star itself.
“Yes, that’s the Ice Prison!” Tarasha escorted Luo Feng, coldly stating, “You’re really calm. Soon you’ll be imprisoned in the Ice Prison… probably not coming out for billions of years, even living in constant fear until your death inside. Yet you’re not even showing any panic!”
“Since I was captured, what’s the use of panicking?” Luo Feng smiled.
His Origin Core had already left the ‘Wuhua Secret Realm’ with the Gold-Horned Giant Beast clone and was resting within a servant’s Divine Realm. As soon as Luo Feng summoned it, he could teleport directly back to the Wuhua Secret Realm.
Luo Feng’s gaze fell upon the distant Ice Prison.
The legend of the Ice Prison was also the greatest legend of the entire Ice Prison Star Belt! It was said that although the two Cosmic Sovereigns of the Ice Prison Star Belt would kill the captured aliens, if they captured some extremely powerful or uniquely special Immortal experts, they would imprison them in the Ice Prison.
Over the long eons, countless eras passed, and the Ice Prison had imprisoned countless experts! Naturally, their powers would also grow within the Ice Prison.
Combined with the two Cosmic Sovereigns forcing the imprisoned aliens to fight each other, in the endless time spent within the Ice Prison, under such pressure… the Ice Prison had indeed become a place of madness.
“There’s no need to summon my teacher, the Chaos Lord, unless I’m pushed to the brink. Moreover… on my path to becoming a supreme expert, I really don’t want to summon the Chaos Lord even once,” Luo Feng had long decided this. In his view, being forced to call upon the Chaos Lord was truly shameful.
If one has the ability, one should fight and endure on their own!
Step by step, growing until reaching the same level as the Chaos Lord, even surpassing him. On this path… not summoning the Chaos Lord even once! This was Luo Feng’s self-imposed requirement!
A true expert never gives himself an excuse to retreat from the beginning.
…
Tarasha and the other two escorted Luo Feng to the front of the Ice Prison.
“Human,” a Doukou Sovereign beside him sneered sharply, “although your strength is decent, the weakest imprisoned in the Ice Prison long ago were already King-level Immortals. Without such strength… our leader wouldn’t even bother imprisoning these aliens in the Ice Prison. Moreover, over the endless ages, the brutal life-and-death battles within… let me warn you… if you’re afraid or terrified, just self-destruct early. The darkness and madness inside are beyond what you can endure.”
“Oh, how exciting,” Luo Feng smiled.
“This is your ID token,” Tarasha casually tossed a purple and azure mottled ice token, marked with numbers in the Universal Alien Language.
Luo Feng caught the token.
“Represents my identity?” Luo Feng asked curiously, secretly thinking… it felt somewhat like a prison number from Earth.
“Go inside,” Tarasha suddenly shoved Luo Feng.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng was directly pushed toward the Ice Prison, approaching within a hundred kilometers of it.
Instantly—
“Boom~~~” A terrifying, powerful suction force enveloped Luo Feng, as if he had fallen into an endless vortex.
Caught in this devouring force, Luo Feng immediately spread his wings to resist.
“Don’t resist. If you resist, you should know the consequences,” Tarasha and the others coldly watched Luo Feng.
“Also true,” Luo Feng shook his head.
This was the territory of the two Cosmic Sovereigns; either of them could arrive here with a single teleportation.
“Well then, let’s see this legendary Ice Prison,” Luo Feng looked up at the source of the suction force. The Ice Prison had already split open a pitch-black cave, layers upon layers, like the blades of a fan.
Boom!
Luo Feng was suddenly sucked into it.
“Boom~~~” Layer after layer of ‘blades’ closed again, and the massive ice pillar resumed its smooth, flawless appearance, leaving no trace.
From this moment on—
Luo Feng was imprisoned within the Ice Prison.
“Enjoy yourself, human!” Tarasha coldly glanced at the ice pillar.
“Let’s go, Tarasha.”
“Let’s go.”
Instantly, the three transformed into three streaks of light, rapidly ascending into the sky.
