If the two combatants were of similar strength, the counterforce from a direct clash would usually slow or even push back Luo Feng. However, the current disparity between them was simply too great! Luo Feng, employing the ultimate secret art of a Cosmic Sovereign, seemed like a true Cosmic Sovereign himself. After cleaving down with one slash, he pursued the divine body of Venerable Tianhua as it flew backward and struck again!
“Bad! One slash after another. Nine slashes would be enough to completely kill me.” Venerable Tianhua, disregarding his shock at Luo Feng’s transformation into a Cosmic Sovereign, focused now on escaping with his life.
“White Needle!”
Suddenly, a massive white shuttle-shaped object appeared behind Venerable Tianhua. It was about a thousand kilometers long, entirely white, smooth, and shuttle-shaped. As soon as it appeared, it flew directly toward Tianhua, who, using the force from Luo Feng’s second slash, accelerated toward it and dove straight inside.
Once safely inside the shuttle, Tianhua finally exhaled in relief.
“Almost got killed by Luo Feng.” His single blood-red eye beneath snowy white fur was filled with lingering fear. “Too strong! The power Luo Feng initially displayed was merely a fraction of his true strength—he was clearly holding back! His later outburst of power was unmistakably at the Cosmic Sovereign level!”
“Cunning!”
“Extremely cunning! That slash… was too fast for me to dodge and too powerful for me to resist. Its profound mysteries were unfathomable, completely beyond my comprehension. It must be a secret art of a Cosmic Sovereign, perhaps even an ultimate secret art of a Cosmic Sovereign. Only a Cosmic Sovereign could create such a technique, and only such a technique could injure me! Luo Feng became a Cosmic Sovereign yet concealed it all this time!” Tianhua thought with a mix of tension and excitement.
“Thankfully, when I offered treasures to my clan in exchange for supreme artifacts, I chose the ‘White Needle’ instead of a top-tier supreme armor.” Tianhua sighed inwardly. As a top-tier cosmic overlord, his wealth naturally far exceeded that of ordinary cosmic overlords, accumulated over countless eons, including extensive travels through the Cosmic Sea.
He possessed many treasures. This time, with the opening of the Origin Star, he naturally intended to exchange for an important supreme artifact for protection. At that time, he had two choices: one, to exchange for a top-tier supreme armor (which required only 100 treasure points in the human race), or two, to exchange for a high-grade flight palace-type supreme artifact (which required at least 200 treasure points in the human race).
Clearly, the flight palace-type supreme artifact was more expensive! Yet he gritted his teeth and spared no cost to obtain it.
“I made the right choice.”
“If I had chosen a top-tier supreme armor back then, even though its defense would have been stronger, his attack was just too terrifying. Even with top-tier supreme armor, one strike could still wound me by at least a thousandth. If Luo Feng kept slicing me a thousand times, I would still perish.” Tianhua sighed inwardly, feeling no fear at all now that he was hiding inside the flight palace-type supreme artifact.
…
The roaring Nine-Xiao River surged.
Luo Feng stood atop golden waves, gazing at the distant white shuttle, his expression suddenly changing: “Flight palace-type supreme artifact!”
“Haha, Luo Feng!”
A voice came from within the white shuttle. “I admire you! You must be the absolute top genius among the countless races of the boundless universe. In such a short time of cultivation, other experts thought you were merely a top-tier cosmic overlord, but they never imagined you were actually a Cosmic Sovereign! Without this flight palace-type supreme artifact, I would have perished today. Hahaha… But now, it’s your turn to suffer!”
“Me suffer?” Luo Feng stared at the white shuttle.
“Furious, are you? But what can you do to me? I’m inside the flight palace. Even if you were a hundred times stronger, you could only glare helplessly.” A sharp voice came from within the white shuttle.
Luo Feng felt a sense of miscalculation.
He had made meticulous preparations for this ‘battle of fame,’ anticipating many unexpected situations. Tianhua possessing a flight palace-type supreme artifact was one of the worst-case scenarios. Although he had proven his strength and many distant experts had witnessed it, and Tianhua himself had acknowledged it,
he ultimately failed to cleanly kill Tianhua. This battle lacked sufficient credibility!
As for breaking into the white shuttle?
Luo Feng had no such intention. Flight palace-type supreme artifacts were the most durable among artifacts of the same level, especially adept at resisting physical attacks! An ordinary flight palace-type artifact was as durable as a high-grade supreme armor. High-grade flight palace-type artifacts matched top-tier supreme armors!
For example, Tianlang Sovereign’s Tianlang Palace was a high-grade flight palace-type artifact, albeit one of the best among them. By human standards, it was worth about 800-900 treasure points. Relying on it, Tianlang Sovereign roamed the cosmos, even Chaos Monarchs and Jiuyou Sovereign couldn’t break through it.
Though slightly inferior to the Tianlang Palace, this shuttle was still formidable enough to dominate the cosmos, leaving most Cosmic Sovereigns helpless.
Facing someone with a flight palace-type supreme artifact, one could usually only rely on soul attacks! Unfortunately, Luo Feng wasn’t proficient in soul attacks.
“Hmph!”
Swoosh!
Luo Feng immediately retracted the Nine-Xiao River, transforming into a streak of light that shot into the sky.
“Trying to escape?” The white shuttle immediately pursued.
…
Luo Feng and the white shuttle flew one after the other, leaving distant alien Venerables staring in disbelief.
“He actually has a flight palace-type supreme artifact.”
“Tianhua Venerable actually claims Luo Feng is a Cosmic Sovereign!”
“Of course he is a Cosmic Sovereign! With such strength, what else could he be? Even a top-tier cosmic overlord lost a tenth of his divine body with one slash. Only a Cosmic Sovereign could be so powerful!”
…
One chasing the other.
“Tianhua Venerable, you’re determined to follow me?” Luo Feng glanced behind.
“Exactly, I’m sticking with you. You can’t escape.” The white shuttle replied.
Luo Feng glanced at the massive white shuttle behind him. He truly couldn’t do anything to it. He also understood clearly that the Mechanical Race, Insect Race, and Demon Race had long been investigating his information. Tianhua would track his coordinates and report everything to the Demon Race’s upper echelons.
“Wanna play big?”
“Perhaps I’ll have to rely on Plan Nine.” A glint of killing intent flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes.
…
In the Mengzu Secret Realm within the Demon Race’s territory.
Tianhua Venerable’s clone within the clan quickly arrived at the Mengzu Secret Realm through a servant’s divine nation teleportation. Upon reaching the Mengzu Secret Realm, he immediately connected his consciousness to the ‘virtual space.’
Just like the Mechanical Race, they had created their own virtual world.
Even back on Earth, with merely a simple computer, a basic virtual space called the ‘Warrior Palace’ was created. While achieving a ‘Virtual Universe’ that spans the cosmos, with all laws manifestable within, was extremely difficult, creating a small-scale virtual space for communication purposes was relatively simple.
The Demon Race had its own virtual space covering the entire Mengzu Secret Realm.
…
Within the Demon Race’s virtual space, amidst vast clouds and mist, a majestic white palace complex stretched endlessly—it was the residence of Mengyao Ancestor.
In the mist, nine figures sat around a long table, with a massive silver-white serpent coiled on the table. Its body extended into the distance, partially hidden in the mist, appearing immense and unfathomable. The other eight figures were also of various forms, clearly great existences within the Demon Race.
“Teacher.” Tianhua Venerable appeared out of nowhere, his snowy white fur bristling with respect as he bowed deeply.
“You say you’ve encountered Luo Feng and claim he is a Cosmic Sovereign?” The silver-white serpent head turned to look.
“Yes.” Tianhua Venerable replied.
“Liar!”
“How could the human Luo Feng become a Cosmic Sovereign so quickly?”
“Impossible.”
Instantly, several of the seated Cosmic Sovereigns began shouting in disbelief.
Tianhua Venerable quickly said, “This is the truth. I personally experienced it. If I hadn’t exchanged for the flight palace-type supreme artifact ‘White Needle’ beforehand, I would have perished in his hands this time.”
“Impossible.”
“To kill you, one must possess Cosmic Sovereign-level strength. How could he achieve that in such a short cultivation time?”
One after another, the Cosmic Sovereigns refused to believe, while Mengyao Ancestor, seated at the head of the table, merely gazed silently.
Tianhua Venerable immediately said, “Words alone won’t convince you. I will show all the Cosmic Sovereigns the exact scene as it happened.” He then looked toward the air and reenacted everything that had occurred, starting from his battles with Lord Zhaowei and Venerable Qianying…
Silence filled the space.
The Cosmic Sovereigns watched intently. Billions of years of experience told them that cultivating for such a short time and becoming a Cosmic Sovereign was simply too absurd—it would be too outrageous.
The simulation ended.
The Cosmic Sovereigns remained silent for a moment. They all saw that in the first slash, Luo Feng and Tianhua were evenly matched. But in the second slash, Luo Feng’s power suddenly surged, directly causing Tianhua to lose a tenth of his divine body. Yet, merely watching the footage, they couldn’t discern the mystery behind that slash, because Tianhua himself didn’t understand it, and thus couldn’t replicate it.
A single slash straight down!
Merely mimicking the posture 100% accurately was useless.
The true essence lay in the countless law runes it invoked—the Path of the Beast God! This was something memory imprints couldn’t simulate.
“I was fortunate to be hiding inside the flight palace, or I would have perished.” Tianhua Venerable emphasized solemnly.
“Not necessarily.” Mengyao Ancestor finally spoke. “Luo Feng may not necessarily be a Cosmic Sovereign. He was able to fight against King Weijing at the Immortal level. When he reached the Cosmic Venerable level, his divine body should have already been slightly stronger than yours. With such a powerful divine body, he must have had special encounters, even receiving gifted secret techniques! Perhaps he obtained a gifted secret technique comparable to an ‘ultimate secret art of a Cosmic Sovereign.'”
The other Cosmic Sovereigns nodded.
“Have you seen him control a region of space-time?” Mengyao Ancestor asked.
“No.” Tianhua Venerable shook his head.
“A single powerful secret technique might be a gifted one. Only if he can display two techniques would it be certain that at least one was self-created.” Mengyao Ancestor shook his head. “Moreover, your strength is insufficient to truly identify it. Only by having a Cosmic Sovereign fight him can we determine whether he is truly a Cosmic Sovereign.”
“Are you currently tracking him?” Mengyao Ancestor asked.
“Yes.” Tianhua Venerable replied quickly. “He can’t escape.”
“Follow him closely.”
The silver-white serpent head commanded directly. “I will contact the Mechanical Race and the Insect Race. This time, the three races will unite to eliminate Luo Feng.”
