Feng Luo’s main body was on its way back, while within his microcosm,
“Master,” Moros respectfully said, “many Boundary Beasts have escaped to the Lost Sea of the Cosmic Ocean. Of the second batch of 450,000 Boundary Beasts, 420,000 fled into the Lost Sea. Combined with the first batch of Boundary Beasts you pursued and killed or enslaved, they were less than half of the first batch. The fighting among all those who fled into the Lost Sea could even result in the emergence of two sixth-stage Boundary Beasts!”
Luo Feng nodded.
About 900,000 Boundary Beasts could give rise to three sixth-stage ones. He had only killed and enslaved a small portion. The remaining ones were sufficient to produce two.
“However, according to the Iron Laws of Fate of our Boundary Beasts, these two sixth-stage ones must fight each other, and only one can survive,” Moros continued.
The Iron Laws of Fate were shackles imposed upon the entire Boundary Beast race to accelerate the emergence of the ultimate ruler. There were four such laws.
The first law stated that no two sixth-stage Boundary Beasts could coexist. They must fight each other, including their clones, until only one remained.
The second law dictated that within the maximum gestation period, the ultimate ruler must emerge. At the end of this period, they would be forced to fight and devour each other until only one remained.
The third law stipulated that if only two Boundary Beasts remained, regardless of their strength, they must fight each other until only one survived.
The fourth law ensured that the last surviving Boundary Beast, whether first or sixth-stage, would become the ultimate ruler.
“Hmm.”
Feng Luo furrowed his brow. The number of Boundary Beasts was too large. Hundreds of thousands of them had explored different areas of the Lost Sea, identifying numerous reference points. The combined areas explored by hundreds of thousands of Boundary Beasts had allowed them to obtain a partial map of the Lost Sea, enabling them to escape quickly through ‘natural wormholes.’
But Luo Feng couldn’t pursue because he lacked the map!
Once the map was determined,
he couldn’t catch up no matter how hard he tried, forcing him to retreat.
“There are still 30,000 Boundary Beasts remaining,” Moros respectfully said, “who did not go to the Lost Sea. They have completely dispersed and are scattered throughout the three deadly places. The harsh environments within the three deadly places make it very difficult to hunt them down one by one.”
Luo Feng understood.
The remaining 30,000 Boundary Beasts were the ‘lighthouses.’
Although the Boundary Beasts that had fled to the Lost Sea had mapped out some areas, they had fled too far to return on their own.
“In the future, when sixth-stage Boundary Beasts emerge,” Moros continued, “they will sense the positions of the remaining Boundary Beasts and launch a counterattack against our Cosmic Ocean. They might fear that you would kill all the remaining Boundary Beasts and those of us who have pledged allegiance to you, leaving them forever lost and unable to return. Hence, a large number of Boundary Beasts were left behind—30,000! In the short term, you cannot kill them all.”
…
It was very cruel.
But Luo Feng had to do his best. Upon his main body’s return, he first went to the Qingfeng Realm!
The Qingfeng Realm was extremely vast, divided into many special areas. Now the Boundary Beasts were hiding in the most unusual places! Some even fled directly into certain ‘deadly zones,’ places from which it was difficult to emerge once entered.
“Capture.”
“Grab.”
“Grab.”
The three thousand Boundary Beasts left behind as ‘lighthouses’ were all second-stage ones, not very strong. In front of Luo Feng, they couldn’t even self-destruct. One by one, they were forcibly drawn into the Star Tower, and then devoured by Mengqu and others. Luo Feng would not enslave them again… because there was a limit to how many could be enslaved through soul control.
“Cursed!”
Inside the Star Tower, Feng Luo, clad in silver armor with silver wings, gazed into the distance. In the endless darkness lay a massive abyss—the AnYong Domain, the core area of the Qingfeng Realm, “They actually fled into the ‘AnYong Domain.’ Once inside, it’s practically impossible to come out. There are exactly one hundred and two Boundary Beasts hiding inside.”
Would Luo Feng dare to enter?
No!
He had already sent a divine avatar piloting a mechanized warship to try entering. Once inside, it couldn’t come back!
“These Boundary Beasts have no intention of coming out,” Luo Feng shook his head.
Among the three deadly zones, there were many similarly dangerous places. Many Boundary Beasts fled into these places! With Luo Feng’s abilities, he could sometimes escape from some dangerous places, but others were inescapable.
Luo Feng dared not test them himself and could only send divine avatars to do so.
The first two times, the divine avatars piloting mechanized warships managed to escape. But this time, after entering the ‘AnYong Domain,’ they couldn’t come back at all.
“It’s impossible to kill all 30,000 Boundary Beasts,” Luo Feng sighed and then left the area aboard the Star Tower.
…
In the distant Lost Sea, the Cosmic Ocean was too vast. The area mapped out by hundreds of thousands of Boundary Beasts was only a small part. Now, hundreds of thousands of Boundary Beasts gathered in this region.
Although it was just a small part, it was still dozens of times larger than the area controlled by Luo Feng’s three cycles of eras.
“Kill!”
“You and I, only one can live.”
Two fierce Boundary Beasts fought savagely, their blood drifting in space, utterly frenzied.
Such battles were taking place in many places. Hundreds of thousands of Boundary Beasts were fighting and evolving, seizing every moment to evolve.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a year had passed. In this Lost Sea, only two Boundary Beasts remained, both having reached the sixth stage.
“Boom~~~” “Boom~~~~”
The overwhelming pressure caused the void to tremble. The two Boundary Beasts stood in the void, facing each other. One of them even held an axe in its hand.
Their bodies were covered with more complex blood-red patterns, and both had grown a single horn on their foreheads. The tip of the horn emitted a white glow, as if capable of annihilating everything.
Their auras also differed slightly.
One was colder.
The other more violent.
“Mohu, we have both reached the sixth stage. Only one of us can survive.”
“You will die, let me go and kill the Milky Way Lord, and become the ultimate ruler.”
The two sixth-stage Boundary Beasts engaged in a life-or-death battle in the distant Lost Sea.
…
Yu was dead!
Mohu became the last surviving sixth-stage Boundary Beast. After devouring Yu, his power rapidly surged to the peak of the sixth stage, and he immediately set off on his return journey.
“Milky Way Lord!”
“My noble Boundary Beast race shall be the ultimate victor.” Mohu, holding his divine axe, advanced through the void.
Guided by the sense of his companion’s location, he would not get lost.
The thousands of Boundary Beasts scattered in the three deadly places that Luo Feng had not yet captured or killed were all excited. Finally, a sixth-stage Boundary Beast had arrived.
About a month later, Mohu finally entered this familiar sea area.
“I, am here.” Standing in the vast void, both of Mohu’s horns curved upward, piercing the void above, faintly emitting white light. His two single eyes glowed with madness.
“Mohu, everything depends on you.”
Boom!
A second-stage Boundary Beast hiding in the Liuzhong Mountains suddenly self-destructed.
“Mohu, I believe in you.” Another Boundary Beast hiding in a cosmic boat also exploded.
“This is the last glory of our Boundary Beast race, and it must be protected by you!”
“Kill that Milky Way Lord!”
“Our Boundary Beast race is the noblest!”
One Boundary Beast after another self-destructed. Some had previously escaped Luo Feng’s hunt, or had been hiding in deadly places where they couldn’t be hunted. Now they all self-destructed! They were completely annihilated.
The only free Boundary Beast left was Mohu!
“I, Mohu! I will definitely protect the last glory of our noble Boundary Beast race. I will never allow that Milky Way Lord to defile it!”
“Roar~~~” Mohu raised both his heads and roared.
At this moment, an invisible fate covered him. He was now the last free Boundary Beast.
…
As Luo Feng was still shocked by the successive self-destructions of the Boundary Beasts, suddenly Moros’s expression changed drastically.
“Master!”
“Master!”
“Master!”
Moros, along with Mengqu and other enslaved Boundary Beasts who were with him in the three deadly places, simultaneously sent transmissions to him in alarm.
“What’s wrong?” Luo Feng felt something ominous. Why were the nine enslaved Boundary Beasts reporting to him at the same time?
“Master!” Moros cried out, “Just now, when all the scattered Boundary Beasts self-destructed, we felt fate.”
“Fate?” Luo Feng was startled.
The Boundary Beast race was influenced by fate, with four iron laws.
“The only free survivor remains,” Moros quickly said, “Fate is telling us that we, the subjugated Boundary Beasts, must fight each other to determine the last surviving one. Then we will battle the free Boundary Beast… to produce the ultimate ruler. This is the fifth iron law, which has just been imposed.”
“What, a fifth iron law?” Luo Feng’s face changed dramatically.
The free Boundary Beasts?
The enslaved Boundary Beasts?
They must fight!
Luo Feng also recalled that when he first enslaved Moros, he had received a warning from the supreme rules. Obviously, the Boundary Beasts were representatives of the supreme beings, destroyers of countless lives. To enslave them was inherently difficult. Now that only the last free Boundary Beast remained, the fifth iron law had been imposed to accelerate the emergence of the ultimate ruler! Clearly, no time was given to Luo Feng.
“I have many Boundary Beast servants under my command. I have observed their use of ‘Destruction’ and carefully studied it. My realm has been continuously improving. If given more time… my strength will grow even stronger. My chances in this catastrophe will also increase. But now the supreme rules have not given me any more time.” Luo Feng’s expression was solemn.
The opponent had reached the peak of the sixth stage and could no longer improve.
But he could gradually improve through cultivation.
However, the fifth law of fate had been imposed… the ultimate ruler must emerge.
“The final battle, then?” Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed with a complex light.
“Then let it come.”
Luo Feng began to return to the Primordial Universe aboard the Star Tower. His Boundary Beast subordinates devouring each other might not produce a sixth-stage Boundary Beast. Thus, during the final showdown between the free and enslaved Boundary Beasts… he would naturally also intervene! If his side won, it would be wonderful.
But if the Boundary Beast named ‘Mohu’ became the ultimate ruler, it would be a real disaster, and everything he had protected would be annihilated.
Before this battle.
At this moment, Luo Feng was filled with an intense longing to see his loved ones.
