Chapter 996: The Innate Beast God

Luo Feng flipped his hand, and the ancient ship, the Milky Way, merged into the skin of his arm.

“All my spaceships were obtained from some Kings. They felt somewhat inferior. Originally, I planned to acquire a better spaceship after becoming an Immortal. Now, this ancient ship, the Milky Way, which rivals treasures of utmost value, is far superior to any spaceship built by either the human or mechanical races,” Luo Feng thought joyfully.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a rapidly shrinking aurora shot toward him, startling Luo Feng. Previously, the Cosmic Sovereign who had assassinated him had been easily killed by such ‘auroras,’ and Luo Feng was about to dodge.

However, the surrounding space seemed to solidify, making it difficult for Luo Feng to move. The aurora, swift as lightning, lightly touched the top of Luo Feng’s head.

“Huh?” Luo Feng stood still in confusion.

Boom!

The previously floating giant stone suddenly fell, plunging into the hole and restoring the mountain peak to its former state.

The thousands of auroras that had been circling the mountain peak shot into the sky one after another—Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!—and all returned rapidly to the vast five-colored aurora lake.

“Look, Daohe seems to be dazed.”

“It must be because he is too surprised and delighted.”

“That’s one of the 108 Treasures! He managed to obtain it so easily. Each of the 108 Treasures is unique, and once taken, it will not be replaced until who knows which era.”

“Tell me, what treasure do you think Daohe obtained?”

“Could it be some precious materials?”

“A defensive treasure?”

“Or an offensive treasure?”

“Maybe a treasure that restores one’s divine body?” Countless inheritors who had been watching Luo Feng acquire the treasure whispered and speculated, but none of them could see exactly what he had obtained.

Luo Feng also glanced at the surroundings and then instantly teleported directly to a distant canyon far from the treasure location.

Inside the canyon, it was extremely quiet.

Luo Feng stood alone, murmuring, “Master of Wine?”

The moment the aurora touched his head, it had transmitted some information—an actual message left by the treasure placer for future inheritors who would obtain the treasure.

A wild and unrestrained voice spoke a passage.

“I have no clan. Since the dawn of the universe, I have been alone. My only true companion was the Sovereign Guahe. Yet even that Guahe had extraordinary experiences of his own. I never knew who to bestow my unused treasures upon. After the Ancestral God Sect established this treasure repository, I resolved to leave this Silver Qiu Phantom Ship for future inheritors.”

“A Monarch who can challenge and win a thousand battles, and at least attain the third stage of the Beast God’s inheritance at perfection—I believe you are a rare genius.”

“Remember, the one giving you this treasure is the Master of Wine! Hahaha…”

A brief message.

Luo Feng immediately understood that the treasure was left by a Cosmic Monarch, though his title was rather unusual, ‘Master of Wine’?

“Wine, as a title?” Luo Feng was puzzled. He immediately connected to the virtual universe. Now that his authority was high, he could investigate many secrets of the universe.

In the virtual universe.

In front of a desk, Luo Feng sat looking at a laptop screen, rapidly searching for ‘Master of Wine’.

Flash!

A single entry appeared on the screen.

“Huh?” Luo Feng clicked to open it immediately.

Master of Wine: A natural-born Beast God, the ‘Wind and Time’ Beast God, a unique and extraordinary life form in the universe, born as a Beast God. He called himself ‘Riding the Wind,’ loved drinking, and was obsessed with wine. The title ‘Wine’ was bestowed upon him by the universe’s supreme powerhouses. He was one of the earliest eight Beast Gods of the Ancestral God Sect and has now perished!

“Ahh!” Luo Feng stared at the brief information, his expression shocked.

This Master of Wine was in fact a born Beast God. Beast Gods are categorized into innate and acquired. Those who ultimately comprehend the entire Beast God path through cultivation and inherit the Beast God position are considered ordinary Beast Gods. However, at the dawn of the universe, some innate Beast Gods were born as Cosmic Monarchs, embodying the fusion of laws.

“He perished?” Luo Feng seemed to hear that wild and unrestrained voice echoing in his ears—”Remember, the one giving you this treasure is the Master of Wine, hahaha…”

“A super powerful being, yet he perished.” Luo Feng sighed inwardly.

A natural-born beast god obsessed with wine.

Luo Feng could easily imagine… an innate beast god standing on the ancient ship, holding a large wine pot.

“Obsessed with wine…” Luo Feng murmured softly, “You left me a treasure. If I ever get the chance, I will definitely repay you.”

“A born Beast God who loved wine, known as the Master of Wine, self-proclaimed as Riding the Wind…” Although Luo Feng had never met him, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration for this long-departed Master of Wine. Unfortunately, this born Beast God existed at the very dawn of the universe’s birth, likely far older than figures such as the Lord of Chaos or the Founding Father of the Battle Axe.

One of the earliest eight Beast Gods of the Ancestral God Religion, his era was too ancient, and he had long since perished.

“Even a Cosmic Monarch as powerful as he can still perish.” Luo Feng muttered, “If the strongest beings in the universe are willing to pay the price to kill a Cosmic Monarch, then the vast majority of Cosmic Monarchs would be unable to escape. Unless they are like ‘Lord of the Nine幽Realms’ or ‘Lord of Chaos,’ who possess nearly miraculous abilities.”

The Lord of Chaos was invincible within the Primordial Universe.

The Lord of the Nine Nether Realms was invincible in the Nine Nether Sea.

Luo Feng couldn’t help but feel relieved about his choice of a third avatar.

After Luo Feng, in a remote canyon of the treasure location, sighed over the passing of the Master of Wine, he was soon discovered by some inheritors. However, Luo Feng remained calm. He continued to wander around the treasure location, determined to explore the entire area thoroughly, hoping he might find another treasure.

After all, most of his consciousness was still cultivating in the virtual universe. Searching for treasures did not require much effort.

Just half an hour after Luo Feng obtained the ‘Milky Way Ancient Ship,’ while he was wandering around the treasure location,

“Daohe.”

“Daohe.”

A figure flew directly toward him.

Luo Feng looked up and saw that it was Qianyu Wang.

“Qianyu Wang.” Luo Feng smiled and nodded.

“Congratulations! As soon as I entered the Glory World, I heard that you obtained a treasure, one of the 108 Treasures.” Qianyu Wang said excitedly, “Congratulations!”

“Not bad.” Luo Feng grinned, “Where are Wang Chaman and the others?”

“The Zhenyan Sovereign has prepared a celebratory banquet for you. King Chaman and the others have already arrived. The Sovereign personally sent me to invite you.” King Qianyu smiled and said, “He mentioned that obtaining one of the 108 Treasures of the Ancestral God Sect is an event worthy of celebration for billions of years. It deserves a proper ceremony, so I was dispatched to extend this invitation to you.”

Luo Feng was taken aback, then couldn’t help but smile. His teacher Zhenyan had actually prepared a banquet.

“Well, I was planning to keep exploring.” Luo Feng glanced around the treasure location, “Looks like I’ll have to come back later.”

“Explore what? Explore where?”

Qianyu Wang looked puzzled, “What’s there to explore? Daohe, didn’t you already get the treasure?”

“Maybe I can trigger another treasure.” Luo Feng said.

“That’s impossible. Once you trigger the first treasure, there’s absolutely no way to trigger a second one.” Wang Qianyu said, “This has been the rule since the Ancestral God Sect established the treasure location, over countless eons.”

“Uh…” Luo Feng blinked. Although he had asked Chaman Wang and others about the treasure location, he had only inquired about triggering the treasure, not whether it was possible to trigger a second one.

“Come on, I’m not lying to you.” Qianyu Wang quickly said, “Luckily you only explored a little longer. If you had wandered around for a long time, many alien inheritors would have guessed you were trying to trigger another treasure, and they would have secretly laughed at you.”

Luo Feng glanced around.

Some inheritors in the distance still seemed to be immersed in the shock of the treasure discovery half an hour ago. Since the birth of the universe, only 42 of the 108 Treasures had been discovered, and today marked the discovery of another. The inheritors were discussing it among themselves, occasionally glancing at Luo Feng. Their gazes mostly expressed ‘envy’ and ‘jealousy,’ but aside from a few alien race experts who held grudges against humans, no one showed any sign of greed.

Strength and status must match the treasures.

A small Planetary-Level being obtaining a treasure of utmost value would be asking for death!

Even a Monarch, when the Lord of Chaos granted Luo Feng the treasure ‘Shi Wu Wings,’ had to keep it secret, or it would bring great trouble.

But now, things were different… Luo Feng had already proven his abilities through events like being chased by King Weijing and being assassinated by Sovereign Zhaooshi. No one would dare to try to seize his treasures, as it wouldn’t be worth the effort to fight over an unknown treasure.

“I remember when I first left Earth, I was so cautious that even having a spaceship from the mechanical race almost brought me disaster.” Luo Feng shook his head and smiled, feeling nostalgic. Now, even though he possessed treasures at the utmost level, very few dared to challenge him.

Watching Luo Feng and Qianyu Wang leave together, King Weijing’s face slightly twitched, showing his fangs. The other inheritors beside him understood… King Weijing was probably furious.

“Damn it!”

“That damn human!” King Weijing muttered angrily, “It’s just a bit of luck! Wait until I find the opportunity—I will make sure you understand that true strength comes from within! I don’t believe there will be another ‘Nine Nether Vortex’ for you to hide in.”

He resented Zhenyan and disliked King Daohe.

Now, watching Daohe obtain one of the 108 Treasures, this unpleasant feeling made King Weijing feel extremely frustrated.

“King Weijing,” a nearby alien with a green tongue flickering spoke, “This Daohe is arrogant and famous, but he is only a Monarch. His ability to kill Kings must be due to some special abilities granted by external treasures. However… as one’s strength increases, the usefulness of treasures diminishes. Once he becomes an Immortal, the treasures’ effects on him will decrease. No matter what, he is just a human with a low life level. Once he becomes an Immortal… he will be far inferior to you, King Weijing, or King Zhuchong, who are special life forms that defy the odds in the universe.”

“Very well said!” King Weijing’s eyes lit up, and he looked approvingly at the alien.

“He is just a human.”

King Weijing licked his fangs, gazing at the direction where Luo Feng had disappeared earlier, “How high could his life level be? Relying on treasures, he can dominate temporarily, but can he dominate forever? Even if he becomes an Immortal, I alone have a life level a thousand times higher than his. Killing him would be as easy as destroying a star.”
