Chapter 940: Seeing Through

The group of weaker bandit elders and the relatively weaker Luo Feng and Tianlang Si Buwa present at the scene were all watching in stunned disbelief. The Thousand-Treasure River was merely a river projection covering infinite starry space, thus appearing faint and blurry, yet its overwhelming might was something even the “Tianlang Hall” could barely resist.

“This is the first time I’ve seen the Thousand-Treasure River. As expected, it’s truly boundless in power, unstoppable,” whispered the Azure Bandit Venerable in awe. “Legend says the Thousand-Treasure River is formed from over a thousand supreme treasures. If disassembled, it would mean possessing over a thousand supreme treasures.”

“Disassemble? Who would have the heart to dismantle such a supreme treasure? The Thousand-Treasure River was born from numerous treasures meant to complement and enhance each other. If separated, each treasure would have flaws, probably only possessing the might of a top-tier heavy treasure. Only when gathered together as the Thousand-Treasure River does it become a supreme treasure capable of dominating the universe,” sighed the Crimson Bandit Venerable. “You haven’t seen the Chaos City Lord’s great slaughter scene. The one using the Thousand-Treasure River was merely one of the Chaos City Lord’s clones. His true form… is even more powerful than this.”

“I’ve heard about it too,” the Azure Bandit Venerable nodded. “The Chaos City Lord has one clone stationed in the Primordial Universe, unmatched. One clone remains in the Original Universe, guarding the Virtual Universe Company. His most powerful true self is mainly for slaughter…”

Of course, Luo Feng couldn’t hear the conversation between the Azure Bandit Venerable and the Crimson Bandit Venerable.

“My teacher is truly amazing. Even just a clone possesses such might,” Luo Feng thought, watching the endless river projections around him and the ‘Tianlang Sovereign’ struggling to control the Tianlang Hall within the Thousand-Treasure River projection, his admiration for his teacher growing even stronger.

“Master Sitanshake said I would one day become a Master of the Universe, controlling the Star Tower, capable of overpowering Master Chaos City Lord?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but feel a surge of fighting spirit. Such power was truly inconceivable.

If the Chaos City Lord wished, with a single thought, a range spanning several light-years would be completely reduced to nothingness!

“Tianlang Sovereign, given your status, you still want to kill my junior human disciple. That’s going too far,” said a colossal figure nearly ten thousand kilometers tall, walking towards them on the waves of the Thousand-Treasure River, holding a massive stone club.

“This is—” Luo Feng’s heart trembled at the sight.

This was the first time he had seen his teacher’s other clone in reality. The figure was over ten thousand kilometers tall, its silver-white skin glistening, its head adorned with thousands of tendrils. Its eyes, as large as lakes, were calm and peaceful.

Barefoot, he tread upon the waves, gripping a weathered stone club riddled with scars—a weapon that had clearly weathered countless trials. Clad in a seemingly plain robe, yet within its folds, thousands of artifacts faintly resonated with soul-piercing murmurs. Every thread of the garment seemed to surge like a roaring river.

“This, this, a special lifeform?” Luo Feng immediately concluded. This was definitely a special lifeform; no race in the human race looked like this. Moreover, a height of ten thousand kilometers—if it wasn’t naturally that tall, deliberately making oneself so tall would only weaken one’s power.

“This is the Chaos City Lord,” Tianlang Si Buwa was also stunned. Although unwilling to believe, he had to admit that the Chaos City Lord clearly overshadowed their Eternal Leader, the Tianlang Sovereign.

“He actually managed to invite the Chaos City Lord?” Si Buwa couldn’t believe his eyes as he glanced at Luo Feng.

When the Chaos City Lord, holding a battered stone club, wearing the Thousand-Treasure Robe, and walking barefoot on the waves, approached, the Tianlang Sovereign’s arrogance was immediately suppressed.

“Chaos City Lord, it seems this human is indeed someone you greatly value. You’ve come in person,” the Tianlang Sovereign stood on the Tianlang Hall with four hooves, flames flickering around his body, his voice thunderous.

“You came for that little one too,” the Chaos City Lord looked at the tiny Tianlang Sovereign. Although their sizes differed greatly, in terms of invisible pressure, the Tianlang Sovereign was clearly weaker but still at the same level. Unlike the Azure Bandit Venerable and the Crimson Bandit Venerable, who were now like weeds on the sidelines, the Chaos City Lord and the Tianlang Sovereign completely ignored them.

As for Luo Feng and Si Buwa… they were like two tiny ants beneath the weeds, easily restrained by the weeds.

“I just came by casually.”

The Tianlang Sovereign’s fiery eyes suddenly fell on Luo Feng. “But you’re different. This human possesses a supreme treasure you gave him, right?”

Luo Feng was startled.

“A supreme treasure? He has a supreme treasure?” Tianlang Si Buwa was even more shocked, staring at Luo Feng.

“A supreme treasure?” Both the Crimson Bandit Venerable and the Azure Bandit Venerable were also shocked, staring at Luo Feng. They hadn’t known… Luo Feng actually possessed a supreme treasure.

“I’ll check it out,” the Tianlang Sovereign’s voice was majestic. “Daohe King? Haha… interesting, interesting. I never expected a Realm Lord to use a supreme treasure to hide his aura and disguise himself as an immortal, achieving such fame. Your disciple is no less than the fallen Kedi. Let me guess what his aura-hiding supreme treasure is… Hmm, intelligence says Daohe King’s speed is extremely fast, faster than it should be? It seems this pair of wings is likely the supreme treasure. Chaos City Lord, am I right?”

The Crimson Bandit Venerable, the Azure Bandit Venerable, and Tianlang Si Buwa were completely stunned.

“A Realm Lord?”

“He’s just a Realm Lord?”

“How could a Realm Lord escape unharmed from Silver Eye’s presence?” Si Buwa was somewhat dazed. “It must be a supreme treasure that makes him this strong.”

“He’s truly amazing. No wonder Sitanshake cultivates and hones this junior. Sitanshake is one of the strongest beings in the universe. What he values must be extraordinary. A Realm Lord-level being achieving such strength and fame is truly impressive,” both the Crimson Bandit Venerable and the Azure Bandit Venerable sighed in admiration. If they had known earlier that Luo Feng possessed a supreme treasure, they would have been tempted, but even if tempted, they wouldn’t dare to take action.

Luo Feng was shocked, glancing at the Tianlang Sovereign in front of the palace. “Master Sitanshake’s words were true. The three supreme treasures I possess—Tower Pearl, Star Chart, and Shiwu Wings—have never been revealed. As long as I don’t unleash terrifying power, even powerful beings in the universe can’t recognize them. My speed is somewhat surprising, so it caused suspicion?”

“But the Tianlang Sovereign is indeed powerful.”

“He saw through me as a Realm Lord at a glance. The supreme treasure hiding my aura can only deceive Cosmic Sovereigns,” Luo Feng wasn’t surprised. Like Senior Apprentice Brother ‘Puti’ and Sitanshake, they had both seen through him as a Realm Lord at a glance. The supreme treasure’s ability to hide aura wasn’t omnipotent.

The City Lord of Chaos boomed with a voice like thunder, “What’s wrong with bestowing an ordinary supreme treasure upon an outstanding junior of our human race? Naturally, exceptional talents require ample resources to nurture, so that more supreme beings may emerge. Although the number of Immortal Gods in our human race is fewer than yours, the count of top-tier powerhouses slightly surpasses that of your Yao race. Why is that? Because we are willing to give, while you are not. Only by giving can one truly gain. Haha, Tianlang Sovereign, would you be willing to gift your little Tianlang a supreme treasure?”

Tianlang Si Buwa’s heart trembled at the words.

A supreme treasure?

Could he also obtain a supreme treasure? He couldn’t help but glance at the Heavenly Wolf Sovereign, then quickly lowered his head, not daring to look further. Such a supreme treasure could only be bestowed by the Heavenly Wolf Sovereign—there was no way for him to request it.

“Why is your human race so powerful? Isn’t it because of the Virtual Universe! Who in the billions of races in the universe doesn’t know that?” the Tianlang Sovereign’s voice was thunderous. “As for how I cultivate my Tianlang race’s descendants, that’s none of your business. Today… I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I’ll leave first.” He immediately entered the Tianlang Hall with Si Buwa.

“Haha…”

The Chaos City Lord laughed, his laughter merging with the Thousand-Treasure River. The Thousand-Treasure River trembled, causing the Tianlang Hall to sway.

“Hmph.”

A low snort came from within the Tianlang Hall, then the Tianlang Hall transformed into a streak of light, flying into the dark universe after reaching light speed. Obviously, within the range of the Thousand-Treasure River… even with the might of the Tianlang Hall, the Tianlang Sovereign couldn’t teleport away.

“This Tianlang is still as wild as ever,” the Chaos City Lord shook his head, then looked at the Crimson Bandit Venerable and the Azure Bandit Venerable.

“Thank you both for taking care of my human descendants over these past two thousand years,” said the Primordial City Lord. With that, he and Luo Feng vanished into thin air, and the endless phantom of the Thousand Treasure River dissipated as well.

“Xie?” Qingdoukou the Venerable One was momentarily stunned. “The Primal Chaos City Lord actually said thank you? Rumor has it that the Primal Chaos City Lord is extremely overbearing, but from what I see, his temper seems quite good.”

“Good?”

The Purple Robe Venerable sneered, “You haven’t seen the Primal Chaos City Lord in action. The Sky Wolf Master is inherently arrogant, which is why he dared to speak more. But didn’t you notice? Even he scurried away after just a few words, suffering a hidden loss and merely grunting without further complaint. Among the five major factions of humanity… the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Battle Arena stand side by side. As the leader of the Virtual Universe Company, how could the Primal Chaos City Lord maintain his authority with just a good temper? If his temper were truly mild, how could his true self be renowned for slaughter?”

The Venerable Qingdou Kou blinked his eyes.

“Be careful. The top existences among the six peak races—which of them isn’t ruthless? If necessary, they could wipe us out with a mere flick of their hands,” the Purple Doudou Venerable said in a low voice.

“Hmm.” Qingdou Kou the Revered nodded repeatedly.

……

After one divine teleportation and a million-light-year instant shift, Primal Chaos City Lord brought Luo Feng to one of the many cosmic secret realms within human territory—the ‘Primal Secret Realm.’

Deep within the primal secret realm.

The Thousand Treasures Robe draped over Lord Chaos instantly soared into the air, transforming into an endless surging river that encircled the surrounding starry sky, completely enveloping the undulating palace complex.

“The river,” Luo Feng gazed at the endless river stretching across the starry sky, its vastness beyond sight.

“The Thousand Treasure River, capable of infinite transformations, is in its truest form this vast and boundless river.” Primal Chaos City Lord pointed into the distance at the endless Thousand Treasure River. “Luo Feng, it is by relying on this Thousand Treasure River that I, your teacher, can effortlessly suppress and intimidate the Heavenly Wolf Master. Such a treasure is also a pillar of our human race! You have good fortune—perhaps one day, you too may obtain a treasure comparable to the Thousand Treasure River.”

“I will certainly do my best,” Luo Feng replied promptly.
