Chapter 962: Assassination, Luo Feng Dies!

Venerable Jueguang heard the urgent call from his nearby intelligent servant, and immediately opened his eyes. Looking over, he saw Luo Feng just stepping across the threshold.

“Human! Daohe King!”

A flash of ferocity gleamed in Venerable Jueguang’s eyes, and his killing intent instantly reached its peak.

He had waited 900 years for this very moment—

“Sacrificing my status as a Cosmic Sovereign for just a single Realm Lord like you, you should feel proud. Daohe King!” In an instant, Venerable Jueguang vanished.

Meanwhile, inheritors from factions such as the Beijiang Alliance, the Yuzu Alliance, and the Jiuyu Alliance, who had received high-level orders to gather intelligence, were all staring intently at the Daohe Prince’s Mansion from their respective mansions. The upper echelons had issued clear instructions: the Demon Clan, the Mechanical Race, and the Insect Race would undoubtedly dispatch assassins to eliminate the human Daohe King.

“Will Daohe King die, or will the Mechanical Race and the other two races suffer a major setback?”

“What methods will they use to kill Daohe King?”

Tens of thousands of hidden observers were holding their breath watching.

When Luo Feng smiled and walked out of the main gate of his mansion, he casually flicked his sleeve, and the gate slammed shut.

Without any warning, a huge figure suddenly appeared before Luo Feng. It was a bizarre beast that looked as if it were covered in mud. Its normally dull, gray eyes now radiated terrifying killing intent. With a thunderous roar, the beast lunged directly at Luo Feng at an extreme speed. At the same time, its body instantly emitted an aura so powerful that it made the surrounding heavens and earth tremble, and its power surged a thousandfold.

Its divine body was already burning!

“Hmm?”

As soon as Venerable Jueguang teleported into existence, he spotted the mud-covered beast and was momentarily taken aback. Zhongshi Sovereign?

However, his reaction was quick. He immediately stepped back and dodged over a thousand kilometers away.

“Zhongshi Sovereign is also trying to assassinate Daohe King?” Venerable Jueguang thought in shock. “I’ll just watch for now. I had just teleported near Daohe King, only a short teleportation, and hadn’t even attacked. The Five-Color Aurora Lake wouldn’t consider that as an intent to kill Luo Feng. Let me see what happens.”

Just after Luo Feng closed the gate to his mansion, he was suddenly attacked by Zhongshi Sovereign, who had ignited his divine essence.

“Shi Wu Wings!” Luo Feng suddenly spread his wings. Though he had no wings on his back before, a pair now instantly materialized. He immediately tried to dodge.

“Boom!”

A stream of illusory divine energy instantly pierced Luo Feng’s mind. Under the condition of burning divine energy, this illusory divine energy sought to forcibly control Luo Feng.

“Want to control me as your slave? Dream on!” Luo Feng’s will was unshakable. Under the assault of this illusory divine energy, his soul remained completely immune to temptation. He could only use forceful means. “Buzz~~~” The tower bead stabilized the beast-god soul, and with just a slight tremor, it blocked the intrusion of the illusory divine energy.

Zhongshi Sovereign, already in front of Luo Feng, had a flash of surprise in his eyes.

He seemed quite surprised that he had failed to control this human Daohe King. He was a Cosmic Sovereign, and even after igniting his divine energy, he still couldn’t successfully control Luo Feng.

“Boom!”

The Five-Color Aurora Lake, which had always been peaceful above the Zijing Island, suddenly trembled violently. Then, streams of auroras rapidly descended. However, Zhongshi Sovereign was already in front of Luo Feng, burning his divine essence, and his speed was unimaginable. He didn’t even spare a glance at the terrifying auroras.

“Die.” Zhongshi Sovereign opened his mouth.

Whoosh!

A massive tongue, dripping with mud, spread out like a curtain across the sky, directly enveloping Luo Feng. This was one of his innate secret techniques. His tongue possessed an incredibly terrifying erosive power. Even the divine body of a Cosmic Sovereign at the same level couldn’t withstand the erosion from his tongue.

Luo Feng’s Shi Wu Wings were fast, but how could they compare to the attack speed of a Cosmic Sovereign who had ignited his divine essence?

Frog’s tongue snapping out, fast as lightning.

Zhongshi Sovereign shot out his massive tongue, and Luo Feng had barely moved when he was already ensnared.

“Hmph.” At the moment of being about to be ensnared, Luo Feng cast a cold glance at Zhongshi Sovereign.

But Zhongshi Sovereign paid no heed.

As the massive tongue enveloped Luo Feng, the terrifying erosive power acted upon the ‘Shi Wu Wings,’ but it couldn’t erode them in the slightest. However, the armor on Luo Feng’s body was instantly eroded, forming numerous holes. Moreover, besides the erosion, the tongue was like a wet cloth forming a rod that struck.

The tongue, like a curtain, struck down fiercely.

The erosive power hadn’t even killed Luo Feng yet, but the impact force contained within the tongue was terrifying indeed—it was the power of a Cosmic Sovereign after igniting his divine essence.

“Boom~~~”

Even with the strongest defenses, Luo Feng was instantly shattered and completely annihilated. His physical body was utterly reduced to nothingness under this terrifying impact, leaving behind only a few items: the shattered armor, the intact wings, the tower bead, the Star Chart, a droplet of his soul essence, the sturdy world ring, and a few other items…

“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”

The Five-Color Aurora streams rapidly descended.

They were like streams of radiant arrows, even completely locking the surrounding space so that Zhongshi Sovereign couldn’t teleport away in time. This was the controlled range of the Seven-Color Aurora Lake.

“Hahahaha…” The Zhongshi Sovereign threw back his head and let out a frenzied roar, his eyes fixed on the descending streams of auroras. To perish under the protection of the Ancestral God Sect’s sacred treasure was no dishonorable death.

The auroras, originally over ten thousand kilometers long, continuously shrank as they descended, finally becoming as thin as arrows.

Pfu! Pfu! Pfu! Pfu! Pfu! Pfu!

The many auroras instantly pierced through Zhongshi Sovereign’s divine body, like ten thousand arrows piercing through flesh. Zhongshi Sovereign’s divine body was like foam, instantly vanishing almost entirely. Then, in the blink of an eye, even the remaining fragments of his divine body were completely annihilated. The auroras then flew back up into the sky…

They returned high into the sky, merging back into the countless auroras above.

All was calm once more.

The Five-Color Aurora streams above Zijing Island continued flying peacefully as usual, while at the entrance of Luo Feng’s mansion on the island, even the previously damaged ground instantly restored itself, completely unscathed. It was just like the snowfields in the Ice Prison, which could continuously regenerate.

“He’s dead.”

From a distance, Venerable Jueguang was profoundly shaken by the terrifying might of the auroras. That single series of auroras had instantly obliterated a Cosmic Sovereign who had ignited his divine essence! The Five-Color Aurora Lake, as a supreme treasure, contained an almost infinite number of auroras. Revered as one of the most powerful treasures in the universe, it served as the most sacred protective artifact of the Ancestral God Religion. Its power was truly awe-inspiring.

Venerable Jueguang felt a mixture of relief, fear, and regret.

“No matter what, Daohe King is dead. I should report this to the Insect Race,” Venerable Jueguang murmured silently.

“Daohe King actually died.”

“Just like that?”

“Completely annihilated into nothingness, there’s no coming back from that.” The inheritors watching from a distance were somewhat stunned. Then, they all immediately began transmitting messages to their respective factions.

In the starry sky, within a space-time realm enveloped by countless boundless flames, Tianlang Lord of the Tianlang Hall simultaneously received the news.

“Haha, Zhongshi Sovereign actually killed Daohe King.”

“Hahahaha, he’s dead, that annoying little brat is dead. I wonder if Zhongshi Sovereign managed to control Daohe King’s soul before dying.”

“Whether he controlled the soul or not, the objective has been accomplished. Haha, isn’t it ironic that the Lord of Chaos City was protecting that human? Unfortunately, within the core territory of the Ancestral God Sect, even if he is the Lord of Chaos City, he wouldn’t dare to trespass into the heavily fortified domain of the Ancestral God Sect,” Tianlang Lord stood before the Tianlang Hall, lifting his head and unleashing a roar that reverberated across an entire space-time continuum.

He was immensely delighted.

There was the pleasure of destroying a human prodigy, and the pleasure of taking revenge on Chaos City Lord.

On Zijing Island, countless figures shot into the sky. Inheritors from all across the galaxy nearly all emerged from their mansions. The energy fluctuations from Zhongshi Sovereign igniting his divine essence were terrifying indeed. The Five-Color Aurora Lake sent down streams of auroras, shaking space itself. Everyone sensed something was wrong.

“What’s going on?” Almost simultaneously upon sensing the terrifying fluctuations of a Cosmic Sovereign igniting his divine essence, Seven-Sword King tore through the sky and arrived. Then, with a teleportation, he reached near Luo Feng’s mansion. By then, Zhongshi Sovereign’s tongue had already instantly lashed out and engulfed Luo Feng, so Seven-Sword King didn’t get to see Luo Feng.

He helplessly watched as streams of auroras descended, causing Zhongshi Sovereign’s demise.

“Who did Zhongshi Sovereign kill, to cause the Five-Color Aurora Lake to descend?” Seven-Sword King was puzzled.

“Seven-Sword King.”

“Seven-Sword King.”

Kedi Wang, Lishuo Wang, and Qianyu Wang all teleported to his side.

“Who died? Who did the Five-Color Aurora kill?” They were a bit slower than Seven-Sword King and didn’t even see Zhongshi Sovereign’s demise.

“It was Zhongshi Sovereign. I don’t know who he killed—ah!” Seven-Sword King’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at the remaining items at the mansion’s entrance. These were the remnants left behind by Zhongshi Sovereign and Luo Feng. Zhongshi Sovereign, knowing his death was inevitable, had already placed his precious treasures elsewhere, while Luo Feng left behind many treasures.

The most eye-catching was undoubtedly the massive silver wings!

Everyone knew that Daohe King was most famous for his wings. In fact, there had long been rumors that Daohe King’s wings were a supreme treasure.

“The wings!”

“It’s Daohe King!!!”

Seven-Sword King was stunned. He had secretly regarded Daohe King as a target to surpass, and now Daohe King had actually—

“It’s Daohe King who died.”

“Daohe King was killed by Zhongshi Sovereign.” From distant places, other races excitedly conversed. That Realm Lord, the peerless genius who had become famous throughout the universe, the human prodigy who had entered the inheritance realm and fought 620,000 battles to earn a massive amount of honor points, making countless inheritors envious, was dead just like that?

This news sent a massive shockwave through countless alien inheritors.

“That’s Daohe King’s wings left behind after his death.”

“The wings are a supreme treasure.”

“Those wings are a supreme treasure.”

Many alien inheritors who had just learned of Daohe King’s death were still stunned, but soon after, they heard countless astonished cries. Even many Cosmic Sovereigns watching from afar were staring fixedly at the items placed at the entrance of Luo Feng’s mansion, especially that massive silver wing.

The temptation of a supreme treasure was indeed terrifying.
