Chapter 1149: Zhenfeng

The Virtual Universe.

Luo Feng arrived directly at the peak of Thunder Island to visit his teacher, the Chaos City Lord.

“Teacher,” Luo Feng said as soon as he appeared, seeing a golden-robed figure emerging from the distant mist.

“Luofeng, what brings you here?” the Chaos City Lord asked with a smile.

“I’ve been waiting in the Yuan’ao Secret Realm, waiting for the arrival of a Cosmic Sovereign from our human race, but I never saw one. So I came to find you, teacher,” Luo Feng replied straightforwardly.

“The Yuan’ao Secret Realm?” The Chaos City Lord looked puzzled. “What were you doing there? You were waiting for a Cosmic Sovereign from our human race? What do you mean… should a Cosmic Sovereign from our race be there?” At this moment, the Chaos City Lord was completely confused, yet he sensed something amiss.

Luo Feng was taken aback. “Didn’t the Founder of the Giant Axe issue any orders?”

By now, teams from all the major powers had arrived one by one. Among the superpowers, only the humans and the Machine Race had not yet appeared. In theory, a race possessing a ‘Cosmic Supreme’ would typically keep such a figure within the race as its strongest and most deterrent force. Even if they ventured into the Cosmic Sea, they usually returned quickly.

After all, Cosmic Supremes moved with incredible speed, and their combat efficiency and killing power were extremely high, so they generally remained within their own race.

“The Giant Axe is not currently within our race; he has gone to the Cosmic Sea,” the Chaos City Lord said gravely. “Now tell me, what exactly is going on?”

“It’s like this.”

Seeing his teacher’s reaction, Luo Feng immediately began explaining in detail from the beginning. “Not long ago, the Dual-Faced Ancestor God of the Ancestral God Sect came to see me…” Soon, Luo Feng had finished recounting everything.

“Now, among the superpowers gathered at the Yuan’ao Secret Realm, only the Machine Race and our human race are missing,” Luo Feng added.

“Such a strange artifact?”

The Chaos City Lord was shocked.

If Luo Feng hadn’t informed him, the human race would have remained completely unaware of this. After all, none of the other factions would share such information with outsiders—they would rather fewer factions participated.

“Thankfully, you came to inform me,” the Chaos City Lord smiled.

“Teacher, what should we do about our human race’s side?” Luo Feng pressed.

“Now, this is no longer just our problem,” the Chaos City Lord replied. “That strange artifact is something the Primordial Universe rejects. Therefore, its owner, the Yuan’ao Sovereign, will also be rejected by the Primordial Universe. Once rejected, even if a Cosmic Supreme kills the Yuan’ao Sovereign, they won’t face any retribution.”

Luo Feng was somewhat startled.

“Furthermore, if we all work together to remove the artifact from the Primordial Universe, it will be a great achievement,” the Chaos City Lord continued. “For example, if our human race achieves this feat, the Primordial Universe will favor us for a short period, enhancing beneficial cosmic energies across our territory. This will increase the potential of human infants born during that time for a prolonged period.”

Such a thing?

“The various factions know that no one can monopolize this alone,” the Chaos City Lord said. “It all depends on capability now. Listen, you use your Divine Kingdom to teleport here to my Primordial Secret Realm and bring back your senior uncle Bingfeng. You two can work together to handle the other factions. With your senior uncle there, we should be fine.”

“Understood,” Luo Feng nodded.

The Icepeak Sovereign.

One of the Original Ancestor’s three senior disciples. Each of the Original Ancestor’s three disciples was formidable. Bingfeng might be slightly inferior to the Chaos City Lord, but only by a small margin.

After all, how could a direct disciple of the Original Ancestor be simple?

…

In a remote region of the Yuan’ao Secret Realm, on a rocky outcrop among a floating range of mountains, suddenly green light flared.

Luo Feng, clad in silver armor with silver wings and a war blade on his back, arrived together with a silver-haired man wearing ancient armor stained with blood and carrying a war sword. As soon as the silver-haired man appeared, he drew the attention of numerous superpower experts on the mountain range—figures like the Wolfstar Sovereign, Jiuyou Sovereign, Yunan Sovereign, Minglian Sovereign, Goldhorn Sovereign, Zimo Sovereign, and others all turned their gazes toward him.

“Icepeak Sovereign.”

“Icepeak has come as well.”

“So the human race has sent Icepeak and this Luo Feng?” Instantly, the Icepeak Sovereign became the focal point for nearly twenty Cosmic Sovereigns present.

The Icepeak Sovereign swept his gaze across the crowd, nodding slightly to a few familiar experts, such as the Jiuyou Sovereign, the Goldhorn Sovereign, the Zimo Sovereign, and others of similarly high status.

The Icepeak Sovereign…

As a disciple of the Original Ancestor, his strength was formidable. While Sovereign Jiuyou could only unleash his ultimate technique once per clone, the Icepeak Sovereign’s strongest attack might be slightly weaker, but he could sustain combat for a prolonged period. Combined with his fearlessness in the Cosmic Sea, he was no ordinary Cosmic Sovereign.

…

Time passed, and more experts arrived one by one.

Among them were the Eight Great Powers: the Ancestral God Sect, the Beast Race, the Insect Race, the Human Race, the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, the Hell Race, the Crystal Race, and the Northern Border Alliance. Even the slightly weaker Nine Realms Alliance surprisingly dispatched two Cosmic Sovereigns! Logically, the Nine Realms Alliance shouldn’t have been aware of this matter, but now it appeared… likely that some independent Cosmic Supreme had directed them.

“The Nine Realms Alliance.”

“Yandi and Juefeng Sovereign.”

“Why are they here? The Nine Realms Alliance is a lesser power, even though they have over a dozen Cosmic Sovereigns, they don’t have a Cosmic Supreme. Could it be that some lone Cosmic Supreme informed them?”

The eight early-arriving powers were puzzled and looked toward the two figures in the distance.

Yandi was tall and muscular, his entire body covered in dense scales, with a proud horn on his forehead, exuding an overwhelming aura of dominance—this was the famous ‘Yandi’ in the cosmos.

The other was a strange beast, with a body resembling rock and a form somewhat like a lion, but with nine massive beast heads. The eyes on each head scanned the surroundings, radiating a hidden pressure. This was ‘Juefeng Sovereign,’ whose power and status rivaled Yandi’s.

The Nine Realms Alliance was a secondary power, yet they had sent two extremely powerful representatives, at least stronger than the Beast Race’s Wolfstar Sovereign and Youmo Sovereign.

Yandi!

Juefeng Sovereign! By Luo Feng’s classification, both could be considered “top-tier.”

“Icepeak!” The Icepeak Sovereign cast a cold glance at Yandi, snarling, “You dare come here where humans stand!”

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Yandi roared with arrogance, disdainfully looking at the Icepeak Sovereign.

“If it weren’t for the gathering of all factions, I’d make you pay for your insolence!” The Icepeak Sovereign radiated killing intent, while Yandi sneered back, though his eyes carried a trace of anger. Long ago, when Yandi was still among the humans, the Icepeak Sovereign was the first to erupt in fury.

The Icepeak Sovereign drew his sword and struck, forcing Yandi into a desperate retreat—his only defense being the protective Jia Jia armor!

Even after countless eons, Yandi knew he was still slightly inferior to the Icepeak Sovereign. He silently vowed, “Hmph, one day, I will crush you beneath my feet and erase you from the cosmos.”

“Yandi,” another voice called out.

Yandi turned his head and smiled. “Oh? This must be Luo Feng, the legendary genius of the human race, the Lord of the Milky Way.”

“It’s truly surprising to see Yandi here,” Luo Feng said lightly.

“Haha… Normally, our Nine Realms Alliance wouldn’t know about this. However, Elder Situ Shanke gave us some guidance, so we came. It is our honor to serve Elder Situ Shanke,” Yandi laughed heartily. This statement startled Luo Feng inwardly—Situ Shanke?

“Situ Shanke?”

The other factions present were also secretly shocked.

Each of the Cosmic Supremes who acted alone was formidable, but Situ Shanke was among the most difficult to deal with. He rarely engaged in direct combat with other experts, but his endless array of unique techniques was enough to drive others mad.

Situ Shanke had connections with many superpowers.

For example, he had a good relationship with the Nine Realms Alliance. Many factions secretly speculated that Situ Shanke must have some connection with Yandi, as Situ Shanke had publicly helped Yandi on several occasions.

Situ Shanke also maintained a favorable relationship with the Ancestral God Sect.

…

“It’s been quite a while now,” Sovereign Jiuyou looked around. “The Machine Race still hasn’t arrived. It seems their ‘Father God’ must be in his own universe and is unaware of everything. We won’t wait any longer!”

“Agreed.”

“We won’t wait.”

Among the current factions, the Ancestral God Religion was the de facto leader, with Jiuyou Sovereign as their representative. In reality, the other factions also suspected that the Machine Race’s ‘Father God’ was likely located in the Machine Race’s own universe.

“We are eight factions, plus the Nine Realms Alliance, making nine in total,” Jiuyou Sovereign declared directly. “Everyone knows the Yuan’ao Sovereign’s strength. Let’s discuss how to deal with him.”

“Yuan’ao Sovereign possesses a strange artifact that has greatly enhanced his power, making him nearly equal to the Star River Sovereign. In the Primordial Universe, even we cannot match him, let alone a Cosmic Supreme. What can we do?”

“Direct combat won’t work.”

“There’s no other way.”

“There’s only one method left.”

“Exactly.”

“There’s only one way.”

The representatives of the various factions nodded in agreement.

Jiuyou Sovereign also nodded. “It seems we all agree. Facing Yuan’ao Sovereign’s strength, a direct confrontation to kill him is impossible. There’s only one solution—seal and imprison him! We must seal and imprison him, then transport him to a separate universe controlled by one of our factions. Only then can we kill him.”

All factions nodded in agreement.

Luo Feng understood as well.

After becoming a Cosmic Sovereign, it was generally difficult for an ordinary Cosmic Sovereign to kill another. Except for figures like the Star River Sovereign or Yuan’ao Sovereign, who possessed the Black Divine Wood, most couldn’t achieve this. Some with even greater strength or superior treasures could not even be killed by the Star River Sovereign.

As for the Star River Sovereign level, or those slightly inferior like Icepeak Sovereign and other top-tier existences, even Cosmic Supremes could do little.

So what could be done?

Seal and imprison!

While killing might not be possible, gaining the upper hand and suppressing the opponent was generally feasible. Once the opponent was subdued, using a sealing treasure to force them into it would trap them inside. Given the stability of such treasures, even a Cosmic Supreme would be unable to escape from a top-tier sealing artifact.

Then, they could transport him to a place like the ‘Primordial Universe.’

In the Primordial Universe, the Chaos City Lord could utilize the essence of the Primordial Universe itself, making him absolutely invincible—capable of killing even a Cosmic Supreme, let alone a Yuan’ao Sovereign.
