Inside the Zhenyan Mansion, other powerhouses from the Hong Alliance were extremely enthusiastic. It was always beneficial to establish some connection with a Cosmic Sovereign. Moreover, several other Cosmic Sovereigns within the Hong Alliance were quite close to Zhenyan.
Why?
Because Cosmic Sovereigns also have distinctions!
The breakthrough from a King-level Peak powerhouse to a Cosmic Sovereign is entirely different from that of a King-level Invincible to a Cosmic Sovereign!
“King-level Invincible” has two types.
One is like Silver-Eye, whose life level is naturally high, so it’s relatively easy for him to reach the “King-level Invincible” level among Kings.
The other is akin to the True Yan King, whose race is of an average level. Even if he exhausts all means to enhance his life gene level, achieving a tenfold increase would already be considered extremely fortunate. With such limited capabilities, aspiring to reach the “Invincible King-level” and striving to survive under a Cosmic Sovereign—how immensely challenging must that be? He must possess some unique methods capable of dominating countless powerhouses.
Regardless of which type, once they step into the Cosmic Sovereign level, their combat power is very strong.
After attaining the status of a Cosmic Sovereign, the first type possesses an immensely powerful divine body.
The second type, after becoming a Cosmic Sovereign, can ensure survival under a Cosmic Sovereign. If they become a Cosmic Sovereign, how formidable would they become?
…
After a long time, the guests departed one by one, leaving only the Venerable Wu Tang.
The Venerable Wu Tang and the Venerable Zhenyan had been very close friends for a very long time… Even after Venerable Wu Tang eventually became a Cosmic Sovereign, they still maintained a certain relationship.
“Wu Tang,” Venerable Zhenyan inquired, “do you know about the Dao He King? Back then, I came to Crimson Bay Island with him. Together, we received the inheritance, after which I went into seclusion. I don’t know what happened afterward. Tell me about it.”
Since he became a Cosmic Sovereign, Luo Feng didn’t come, which must mean something happened.
“You don’t know what happened afterward?” Venerable Wu Tang’s voice was deep and resonant as he continued, “You really missed out on a lot of exciting events. When Dao He King first arrived, he made a big splash. First, many inheritors on Crimson Bay Island challenged him, intending to bully him badly, who would have thought Dao He King ended up reaping big benefits…”
Venerable Wu Tang spoke with great enthusiasm.
From over 620,000 consecutive battles, to Luo Feng’s assassination, and finally the recent events in the Nine Nether Temporal Realm, he recounted everything in detail.
Initially, King Zhenyan listened with a smile, but when he learned that Luo Feng had been assassinated and cornered to the brink of death by King Wei Jing in the Nine Nether Temporal Realm, his expression darkened.
“They all say the Dao He King is Luo Feng,” Venerable Wu Tang smiled at Zhenyan, “Could it be that the Dao He King is truly your disciple?”
“Don’t meddle,” Zhenyan replied.
“Hahaha…” Venerable Wu Tang laughed and nodded.
“There’s something I need you to help me with,” Zhenyan said.
“Speak, just say it. What kind of relationship do we have,” Venerable Wu Tang indeed held Zhenyan in high regard. Firstly, they shared a profound bond from the past, and secondly, he also had great expectations for Zhenyan’s future. Due to the talent limitations of the human race, every individual who could reach the King-level Invincible stage and break through to become a Cosmic Sovereign achieved remarkable feats.
“I need information on dangerous areas within the Ancestor’s Secret Realm, especially the Nine Nether Temporal Realm,” Zhenyan said.
“Are you planning to go there?” Venerable Wu Tang inquired.
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Zhenyan’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint, “How could I not go?”
“Haha, that’s the real Zhenyan, the same fiery Zhenyan from back then,” Venerable Wu Tang nodded quickly, “I’ve already sent all the intelligence to you through the virtual universe.”
Zhenyan nodded with a grin, “I’ve been hiding in Chaos City for countless millions of years. Probably not many remember me anymore.”
…
Just half a day later.
After preparing carefully within the mansion.
“Old friend, countless millions of years of silence, you must be lonely too,” suddenly a black long staff appeared in Zhenyan’s hand. The ends of the staff were each adorned with golden hoops, giving the entire black staff an ancient aura. This was the first major treasure Zhenyan obtained while wandering the universe in his early days.
It had accompanied him through life-and-death trials, countless killings, and finally earned him the reputation of “King-level Invincible.”
“My disciple treats me like family. I managed to become a Cosmic Sovereign largely thanks to him… How dare King Wei Jing bully my disciple like this! Hmph, a special life form? Good at soul attacks and tracking?!” Zhenyan’s previously calm aura vanished, replaced instead by a sharp and violent aura.
Violent! Fiery!
This was the real Zhenyan!
Roaming the universe, slaying countless powerful beings, and earning the title of the Invincible King.
It’s just that he had been too quiet for too long, so long that many immortals from his era had already perished.
“During my countless millions of years of silence, I created three ultimate techniques myself. Now that I’ve become a Cosmic Sovereign, I’ll use you to test my staff!” King Zhenyan’s eyes burned with madness. Even at the King-level, he had once challenged Cosmic Sovereigns and barely escaped with his life. Deep down, he had always been a bit crazy.
Swoosh!
Zhenyan shot straight up from the mansion, then in an instant, he arrived at the teleportation fountain in front of the island lord’s palace, quickly heading toward the secret realm.
…
Desolate Stone Island in the Nine Nether Temporal Realm.
As a Cosmic Sovereign, teleportation could easily span thousands of light-years, naturally bypassing many dangerous areas. Before half a day had passed, Zhenyan had already arrived at Desolate Stone Island.
“I’ll just wait here.”
Zhenyan sat cross-legged atop the mountain peak. “According to the information Wu Tang provided me, those who explore the Nine Nether Temporal Realm often return to Barren Stone Island to rest and recover. As long as King Wei Jing returns to this Barren Stone Island…”
Then Zhenyan closed his eyes, like a tiger resting with its eyes shut, waiting at any moment to pounce and kill.
…
Underneath the Desolate Stone Island, at the bottom of the Nine Abyss Sea, lay another world.
Luo Feng was constantly fleeing within it, trying to get as far away as possible.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Three figures streaked across the sky, then suddenly stopped. It was indeed the noble prince Your Highness and the two Cosmic Sovereigns under his command.
“He still hasn’t been found yet,” the prince’s eyes flashed with a cold gleam.
“Your Highness, our Nine Nether World is boundless and endless. That foreigner must be fleeing nonstop, possibly escaping far away. It might take some time to locate him,” remarked the slightly thinner Cosmic Sovereign. Both of these Cosmic Sovereigns had blood-red skin and curved crimson horns.
“How long will that take?” the prince frowned, “I shall issue orders immediately. In my territory, half of the soldiers from every city will be dispatched to search and pursue that foreigner. They will all be connected through the virtual world, and once anyone finds him, they must notify me immediately. Also—each soldier must keep their consciousness connected to the virtual world at all times. Once disconnected, it means they have perished… definitely killed by the foreigner!”
The prince immediately issued orders to his various armies through the virtual world.
In the Nine Netherworld, each prince governed an expansive domain with absolute authority.
…
“Search, search, search!”
“Hurry up.”
“Go find that foreign immortal.”
In the sky, like a swarm of locusts, large numbers of immortal warriors and Monarch warriors flew out from the cities, then quickly dispersed in various directions, each warrior responsible for a specific area.
The inhabitants of the Nine Nether World are exceptionally unique. They possess blood-red bodies and curved crimson horns, being a type of energy-based lifeform. Additionally, they exhibit extraordinarily high innate talents, somewhat akin to the Golden-Horned Giant Beasts and the like… Merely by reaching adulthood, they ascend to the status of Monarchs! However, they lack innate secret techniques, and their physical life levels are comparable to those of humans.
Since they become Monarchs upon reaching adulthood, Monarchs are quite common in the cities, although their total population is much smaller compared to humans.
Needless to say, the Nine Netherworld is only so vast, yet Luo Feng had flown for billions of kilometers without encountering a single native, which clearly demonstrates how sparsely populated it is.
“Awooo~~”
“Awooo~~”
The native warriors were all howling with excitement, scattering across the vast sky, soaring through the air—some relying on ‘World Projection,’ others on ‘Law Domains,’ and some even employing divine power sweeps… In short, they exhausted every possible means in their search.
…
After over ten days of hiding, Luo Feng finally encountered his first searcher.
In a lake.
Luo Feng directly hid beneath the lake, looking up through the water at the high-speed flying blood-red figure above.
At the same time, a surge of divine power swept across the entire lake.
Luo Feng, concealed by a miniature detector, silently observed the scene: “Hmph, with mere divine power detection, how could you possibly find me? This detector… is the most advanced miniature detector I could purchase.”
But when the divine power swept over Luo Feng’s position, it paused.
“Not good, I’ve been discovered,” Luo Feng immediately realized, “How could I be found?”
The blood-red figure high in the sky abruptly stopped, looking down with eyes full of excitement, “Foreigner!”
Swoosh!
Without hesitation, Luo Feng burst out of the water, wings flaring, transforming into a streak of silver light, instantly accelerating to his maximum speed.
“Foreigner! It’s the foreigner! I found the foreigner!” The native immortal warrior chased after Luo Feng, but found the distance increasing. Immediately, he used the virtual world to report in, his eyes filled with excitement, “Haha, this alien used a detector, thinking I wouldn’t find him?”
“Haha, in our Netherworld, my divine power connects with the energy of the Netherworld, allowing me to clearly detect any outsider who doesn’t belong to our kind.”
“Whether it’s an immortal or even a Cosmic Sovereign foreigner, once they come here, none can escape.”
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Luo Feng’s speed was terrifying, quickly vanishing from the immortal warrior’s sight.
“How was I discovered?” While fleeing at high speed, Luo Feng was also filled with confusion, “My detector is so advanced that even a King-level Invincible couldn’t detect my hidden form. When Wei Jing King discovered me, it was due to his extraordinary detection techniques, but how could an ordinary native immortal find me?”
“Big trouble.”
“This is really big trouble.” Luo Feng knew he was about to face some serious consequences.
Indeed, upon receiving the news, His Highness the prince immediately led his two Cosmic Sovereigns toward the location, while also dispatching nearby immortal warriors and even Cosmic Sovereign powerhouses to intercept.
