Venerable Beishan had resided on Chinese Redbud Island for an exceptionally long period. He frequently visited this treasured land and had long grown accustomed to looking down upon those weaker titled kings. In fact, this was an exceedingly common phenomenon across the entire Chinese Redbud Island—it was fundamentally impossible for Cosmic Reverends and titled kings to be treated as equals.
A more amiable Universe Sovereign would slowly fly to a certain place, and the King Sealer there would naturally step aside obediently.
As for the more overbearing ones, even someone like Venerable Beishan, the so-called “King Sealer,” could only grit his teeth and endure.
This had become a commonplace occurrence.
Venerable Beishan glanced at the human titled king before him and scoffed, “Bullying you? Hahaha… Human, I simply despise your kind. So what if I bully you? A mere titled king dares to show me disrespect?”
“I just disrespected you. What are you going to do about it?” Luo Feng, holding the Flame God Source Crystal, looked up and stared at the alien Venerable before him.
Silence filled the air.
Qianyu of the Dark Cloud Clan, who was still spitting blood, and the nearby alien elites on various peaks and slopes turned their heads to look, all of them watching with interest.
“Never seen this before.”
“He’s a newcomer.”
“Haha, look, another newcomer is being foolish.”
“It’s not surprising. They believe the Ancestral God Religion’s rules protect them, making them think that even Universe Masters can’t touch them. Many newcomers are the elite chosen ones of their races and refuse to accept losses. Moreover, Beishan here harbors hatred toward humans and acts with such arrogance, directly suppressing them. It’s only natural for newcomers to resist. But after experiencing one setback, this newcomer will learn when to retreat.”
“Let’s just watch the show and see how this newcomer fares.”
“This human is actually clever. Holding the strongest Flame God Source Crystal makes Beishan cautious. If they fight, maybe he could destroy the Flame God Source Crystal and kill the human, but he himself might die too.”
Among the surrounding alien elites, including the titled kings and a few universe venerables, all watched from a distance.
…
At the summit, Luo Feng wiped the corner of his mouth and gazed at the alien universe master before him.
“You’ve got guts,” Venerable Beishan looked down at Luo Feng. Though furious, he was also intrigued—it had been ages since he encountered a human titled as an immortal who dared to challenge him head-on. He continued, “Human, do you realize… I am a Cosmic Sovereign?”
“I know,” Luo Feng replied, “So what?”
“Don’t you think you should respect me?” Venerable Beishan asked again.
“Why should the weak respect the strong?” Luo Feng countered, “Because the weak fear the strong might kill them, and also out of admiration for the strong reaching such a level. Clearly… I have no admiration for you, alien Venerable. As for fear? Within the range of the Five-Color Aurora Lake, why should I fear you? If I don’t fear you and don’t admire you, why should I respect you?”
Venerable Beishan immediately let out a thunderous laugh, echoing across the mountain peaks, drawing the attention of even more distant experts.
“Yes, you don’t need to fear me within the Five-Color Aurora Lake.”
Venerable Beishan looked down at Luo Feng, his eyes filled with mockery, “Human, do you plan to stay in the Five-Color Aurora Lake forever? Will you never leave? I have seen you before and know your life aura. Once I spot you outside, you know what will happen. Isn’t it foolish of you to do this?”
Luo Feng stared at Venerable Beishan before him.
“Just endure it. Don’t provoke a Universe Master. Just bear the bullying,” Qianyu of the Dark Cloud Clan urgently sent a mental message from afar. “In this heritage land, Universe Masters have long been accustomed to their superiority. They are inherently unequal to us, and it’s common for them to bully us. This Beishan is being especially harsh, but we have no choice but to endure. Otherwise, making an enemy of a Universe Master is far from wise.”
“Thanks, Qianyu,” Luo Feng transmitted mentally.
Ahead lay Beishan, yet Luo Feng felt no trace of fear. What was a mere alien Venerable to him? After all, the “Lord Wolf” had secretly leaked intel about Daohe Wang, making him a target for countless experts across the cosmos. The bounties posted by the top factions had already drawn swarms of Universe Masters—and it was even possible that alien Universe Overlords were secretly plotting against him.
(Note: “宇宙尊者” and “宇宙lords” are transliterated as “Yuzhou Zunzhe” and “Yuzhou lords” respectively, as they appear to be specific titles within the context. If these terms have established English equivalents in the source material, they should be replaced accordingly.)
That’s why Luo Feng was forced to hide in this inheritance land.
“If even the top clans are eager to assassinate me, why should I tolerate the arrogance of a mere venerable from some unknown clan? Besides… a universe master of this level—once I break through to immortality, with my Golden-Horned Giant Beast clone surpassing the limit of a thousand times that of a titled king and equipped with the Tribulation Armor… I probably won’t even need to fear such an average universe master anymore.” Luo Feng truly had no intention of enduring further humiliation.
Since the news about Daohe Wang had spread throughout the universe!
Since the mechanical clan expert, Giant Absolute King, had recognized him, probably his identity in this inheritance land wouldn’t remain hidden for long!
If that’s the case!
Why endure any longer?
If a storm is coming, then let it be more violent. Compared to the menacing gazes of the peak clans, the current Northern Mountain Venerable was merely a light drizzle.
“Yes, offending you means making an enemy of a Universe Master, which is indeed unwise,” Luo Feng nodded, looking at the Beishan Master before him. “Esteemed Universe Master, since I’ve already offended you, tell me—what should I do?”
Venerable Beishan was slightly taken aback—this human’s attitude was truly…
“Haha, interesting!”
“Beishan, looks like you’ve hit a snag this time!” Suddenly, a booming voice echoed from a distant peak, where another alien venerable seated atop a summit was shouting.
“That human newcomer isn’t listening to you.”
“He doesn’t respect you.”
“Come on, kill him and assert your authority.”
Instantly, three Universe Venerables from distant peaks and lakesides burst into laughter, their voices resounding through the heavens. As for the titled kings among the immortals, they dared not shout so openly and merely whispered among themselves. Among the spectators, including the Universe Venerables, there were roughly thousands of experts watching intently.
Qianyu of the Dark Cloud Clan, hiding far away and covering his head, muttered, “Heavens, this human has gone mad.”
In the Land of Treasures, one might occasionally encounter a stubborn newcomer, but they would usually back down soon enough. This time, it was anticipated that the stubborn newcomer would also yield, but now it seemed… this human was being utterly arrogant. Since not many titled immortals were present, and in such a short time, no one had yet recognized Luo Feng’s identity. They all simply thought this human was indeed excessively arrogant.
…
Venerable Beishan listened to the mocking laughter from the other Venerables in the distance, his face darkening. At their level of cultivation, face was of utmost importance. There were many Universe Venerables in the Ancestral God Sect, hailing from all corners of the universe, and they had formed factions and cliques. For instance, the Universe Venerables from the Human Alliance (Hong Alliance) banded together, and the Universe Venerables from the Nine Regions Alliance also formed their own group…
The ones mocking him were from rival factions.
“Hmph.” Venerable Beishan glared coldly at Luo Feng, his invisible pressure enveloping Luo Feng.
But Luo Feng treated this pressure as a gentle breeze.
“Brave!” Venerable Beishan’s voice was icy as he looked down at Luo Feng. “I have always loathed your kind, humans. Today, my loathing has only increased. Now, kneel down and apologize to me, and destroy 50% of your divine body, and I will pretend this never happened. Otherwise—”
Luo Feng looked at Venerable Beishan before him.
“You want me to destroy 50% of my divine body and kneel down to apologize? How merciful of you. If I don’t do it, you’ll look for an opportunity to kill me outside? Ah, how terrifying. I’ll get scared, hold a grudge, and then seek revenge. If I’m not mistaken, you must be from the Ronjun Clan, right?”
The killing intent surrounding Venerable Beishan grew even more intense. Qianyu of the Dark Cloud Clan, who had already retreated to a safe distance, was utterly terrified, his face twisted with anguish: “Just bear with it… endure and it’ll pass, this… this…”
Venerable Beishan said in a low voice, “Human, I admire your courage. Remember, I am Venerable Beishan. If you have the ability, keep hiding in the Five-Color Aurora Lake and within the human stronghold.”
“Hmph.” Luo Feng, however, sneered.
Luo Feng’s disdain was not without reason.
If Venerable Beishan knew he was Daohe Wang, then even if Beishan wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t dare!
Because the small ‘Ronjun Clan’ would not be able to withstand the fury of the human race. The human race places immense importance on their super talents. If he dared to act, not only would he himself suffer, but probably the entire Ronjun Clan would be dragged into disaster. Therefore, generally speaking, once someone’s fame and importance reached a certain level, only the alien experts from powerful forces rivaling the Hong Alliance would dare to target Luo Feng.
…
Atop the peak.
Neither Venerable Beishan nor Luo Feng backed down. Luo Feng was simply unwilling to yield, and Venerable Beishan was even less likely to do so.
In this deadlock, Venerable Beishan dared not really take action.
“Hmph.” With a low snort, Venerable Beishan was about to fly away.
“Beishan.”
A deep and powerful voice rumbled over.
Suddenly, a snow-white figure appeared beside the peak. Luo Feng looked and saw that the newcomer was about three meters tall, his body seemingly made of ice blocks, with many crystal fragments inside. His appearance was quite similar to that of a human. He was also wearing simple ice armor, his aura mighty and powerful… seemingly even stronger than Venerable Beishan.
“Zhuchong King!” Venerable Beishan’s face darkened.
“Beishan.” The ice-armored, burly man sneered, “I know you despise humans, but this newcomer just arrived. Was it really necessary to go so overboard? First, you oppressed him, then forced him to burn his divine body… I just wanted to tell you—it’s fine to bully us titled kings a little, but don’t cross the line.”
Luo Feng was greatly surprised as he looked at this ice-armored, muscular man. A titled king?
The ice-armored, muscular figure before him was a King Sealer?
“Qianyu, who is he?” Luo Feng transmitted mentally to Qianyu far away.
Qianyu of the Dark Cloud Clan was startled upon suddenly receiving Luo Feng’s mental transmission but quickly responded telepathically, “That’s King Zhuchong. He ranks among the top three powerhouses out of the over one hundred million titled kings inheritors on our Chinese Redbud Island. It’s said he’s a unique lifeform in the universe, with an original body height exceeding 60,000 kilometers—he’s deliberately shrinking it now. His divine body strength at the titled king limit alone is 5,000 times greater than ours! He even surpasses many ordinary universe masters in power. Furthermore, his innate secret techniques are exceptionally formidable. Combined with the focused cultivation from the Ancestral God Sect, which granted him two treasures, he generally outmatches ordinary universe masters.”
“A unique lifeform in the universe? Original body height of over 60,000 kilometers? 5,000 times?” Luo Feng blinked in disbelief at Zhuchong King.
