In the plane space belonging to the Founding Axe Creator within the Virtual Universe:
In the endless darkness, distant points of light shimmered like stars. A simple palace floated at the heart of the dark void. Before the palace, on a long stone table, figures appeared one by one… Within moments, including the Founding Axe Creator, the Chaos City Lord, the Master of the Huanjian Realm, and others, all had arrived. Their faces bore expressions of undeniable shock and astonishment.
“I believe you all already know,” the Founding Axe Creator scanned the crowd, “the Star Tower has vanished!”
“Hmm.”
“We just learned of it ourselves.”
“How could the Star Tower disappear? It has stood in the void for endless eons. Even the strongest beings in the universe couldn’t forcibly remove it. How could it suddenly vanish?” Despite their lofty status and calm demeanor, the news of this magnitude still left the Sovereigns of the Universe deeply shaken and incredulous.
“Look,” the Founding Axe Creator gestured toward the sky.
Whoosh!
An image appeared in the dark sky above, showing the Star Tower blasting out a million immortal warriors of alien races. Then the ‘Nine-Spin Galaxy Cloud’ dissipated, the Star Tower shrank, and vanished in an instant.
“There’s no doubt,” the Chaos City Lord murmured, “it’s clear that some powerful individual has truly taken control of the Star Tower, enabling them to instantly expel the countless immortals from each of its spatial layers. Only then could the Nine-Spin Galaxy Cloud dissipate, allowing the Star Tower to shrink and teleport away.”
“Who?”
“Who has such power? Back then, we, along with the Machine Race, the Insect Race, and the Demon Race fought fiercely over this sudden appearance of the ultimate treasure. But in the end, none of our four peak races could do anything about the Star Tower. Even the Founding Axe himself entered it, yet failed to take the Star Tower away.” A Sovereign of the Universe clad in golden armor, with a purple secret pattern on his forehead, spoke.
“The Sovereign of Void Gold is right. Relying purely on strength, who could succeed?”
…
A cacophony of voices filled the air as the Sovereigns of Humanity’s Universe voiced their opinions.
The Founding Axe Creator nodded and said, “We all agree now that sheer strength alone cannot reclaim the Star Tower! After all, during its endless eons in the battlefield beyond the universe, not only our four peak races, but all other major powers in the cosmos—including the Ancestral God Religion, the Alliance of Star Beasts, the Northern Border Alliance, and even the smaller factions—must have secretly tried to claim it. Yet none succeeded.”
The Sovereigns of the Universe all nodded.
“Including myself, even the strongest beings in the universe must have tried,” the Founding Axe Creator shook his head. “And still failed! Strength alone simply won’t do.”
“To reclaim the Star Tower requires an opportunity!” the Founding Axe Creator continued, “I suspect that some fortunate individual must have managed to successfully claim it. Even the true supreme beings of the universe—those who have existed for eons—must have tried long ago. So whoever has claimed the Star Tower probably isn’t someone of immense power.”
“A weakling?”
“A mere immortal? A Universal Monarch?” Immediately, the Sovereigns of the Universe all spoke up.
“Whoever he is, as long as he can control the Star Tower, he’s no weakling,” the Founding Axe Creator swept his gaze across the crowd, “even I couldn’t do anything if he hides inside the Star Tower.”
The Sovereigns of the Universe nodded, their eyes filled with envy.
The ultimate treasure!
The human race, a peak race, doesn’t even have an ultimate treasure to call its own! The power of each ultimate treasure is beyond imagination… Their characteristics are also peculiar, coveted even by the strongest beings in the universe. Although the number of these supreme beings is extremely rare, there are still some who do not possess ultimate treasures. The Founding Axe Creator is one of them!
“We must investigate!”
The Founding Axe Creator issued the order, “Use the resources of the Hong Alliance to thoroughly search for any information. We must find out who now possesses the Star Tower! If it’s a weakling, he can’t stay hidden in the Star Tower forever. We still have a chance to take the Star Tower from him, and even uncover how he controls it.”
“Yes!”
“Yes.” All the Sovereigns of the Universe accepted the command.
The Founding Axe Creator said solemnly, “Our human race lacks an ultimate treasure. We must find a way to obtain it.”
…
In that universe belonging to the Machine Race:
“My children, go and find out who has obtained the Star Tower! Even if he possesses an ultimate treasure, he cannot remain hidden in the Star Tower forever. If it’s a weakling, we have a good chance of seizing the Star Tower from him.” The voice of the greatest existence representing the Machine Race echoed throughout the universe.
“Yes, Father God.”
“Yes, Father God.”
All the Sovereigns of the Machine Race accepted the command.
…
“Whoosh!” In the endless starry sky, a massive being covered entirely in black scales slowly emerged. Instantly, the area within several light-years was plunged into an endless world of black flames. In this range, planets and stars alike vanished like bubbles, leaving only this towering being as eternal.
“It’s been so long since I returned to the Original Universe. Such a familiar scent, this is home. Without the Star Tower, I probably wouldn’t have returned from the Cosmic Sea for who knows how long.”
“Back then, even I couldn’t take the Star Tower! Yet now, in the Original Universe, some youngling has succeeded… I must find the Star Tower, find that youngling, and uncover how he controls the Star Tower.”
“If only I had one more ultimate treasure, last time I wouldn’t have been defeated by that old beast god of the Star Beasts…”
The black scales slowly shifted.
Whoosh.
And then it vanished into thin air.
…
All nine of the universe’s superpowers were restless, for the temptation of the ultimate treasure was too great! Even the supremely aloof solitary beings among the strongest beings in the universe began to stir… Not to mention the Sovereigns of various races, some races having only one Sovereign, naturally even more eager to obtain the Star Tower.
“If I obtain the Star Tower, I will no longer fear even the strongest beings in the universe.”
“Then, my Tuoma race will also have the hope of becoming a peak race.”
…
The news of Luo Feng slaying a Cosmic Overlord was shocking, yet it paled in comparison to the disappearance of the ultimate treasure—the Star Tower! The ultimate treasure… an existence precious enough to shake the very foundation of a peak race, already the rarest treasure in the entire universe! This drew the attention of countless race leaders and supreme beings toward the Star Tower, while focus on Luo Feng waned. Only the Demon Race, the Mechanical Race, and the Bug Race—those most eager to eliminate Luo Feng—showed no signs of relenting.
…
In the Ancestral Divine Realm, Purple Thorn Island.
“The uproar caused by the disappearance of the Star Tower is truly enormous, completely turning everything upside down.” Luo Feng appeared in his mansion on Purple Jade Island. It had already been three days since he obtained the Star Tower. Since acquiring it, he had begun to learn about the outside world through the Virtual Universe.
Turmoil!
From the Sovereigns of the Universe down to the immortal deities sent to the battlefield beyond the universe, all were discussing it.
This was merely the Hong Alliance. Looking at other powers across the universe… judging from the information spreading within the Hong Alliance, clearly all were going mad over it.
“No wonder Teacher Situ’an strictly ordered me to prohibit the disclosure of any information regarding the Star Tower.” Luo Feng marveled, “If I had exposed it back then, letting the outside world know I could control the Star Tower, Teacher Situ’an alone wouldn’t have been able to protect me. Fortunately, the Luo Feng of today already has the ability to protect himself, fully capable of standing firm in this turbulent universe.”
He took a step forward.
Luo Feng opened the door to his mansion and flew toward the plaza in front of the palace of the Purple Jing Island’s ruler.
“Look, Luo Feng.”
“It’s Luo Feng of Humanity.”
“He actually went back to Purple Thorn Island. It’s been nearly twenty thousand years since I last saw him.”
“Luo Feng possesses the power of a peak-level Cosmic Overlord. It’s no surprise that he seldom visits Purple Thorn Island.” Purple Thorn Island was home to numerous cultivators from various races, and soon a group of alien inheritors flying past noticed Luo Feng and began discussing him.
Luo Feng flew to the plaza.
Through the fountain water curtain, he directly entered the ‘Inheritance Realm’. After all, he had a vast number of inheritance opportunities.
…
Moments later, Luo Feng emerged and flew directly back to his mansion in the distance.
He meditated in his mansion for five days before once again heading to the Inheritance Realm to receive more inheritance.
Meditation! Inheritance!
Meditation! Inheritance!
Luo Feng underwent an inheritance almost every few days, which quickly caught the attention of many cultivators on Purple Thorn Island.
“This Luo Feng, after his earlier frenzied challenges, had a huge number of inheritance attempts. But, even with so many chances, is it really worth such waste?”
“Without any comprehension, receiving inheritance is completely useless.”
“Such a waste.”
Such discussions were plentiful.
Yet Luo Feng remained steadfast, merely shaking his head at the gossip: “My attainments in the Secret Pattern School are very high, allowing me to draw parallels and apply knowledge across disciplines. When I receive inheritance, I can quickly grasp a great deal of ‘Beast God Path’ content. How fast is this cultivation speed?”
Without any comprehension, receiving the Beast God inheritance would be completely incomprehensible.
But due to Luo Feng’s high attainments in the Secret Pattern School, each inheritance allowed him to understand and comprehend a wealth of information, and upon receiving more inheritance, he could progress again.
After all, in terms of hierarchy, the secret techniques Luo Feng created were at the ‘Ultimate Sovereign of the Universe’ level, and with the ‘Beast God Heart,’ his realm was extremely high. Thus, receiving the Beast God Path was naturally very easy for him.
…
Receiving the Beast God inheritance every five days, merely three inheritances allowed Luo Feng to completely grasp the fourth level of the Beast God Path. It was like allowing a college student to study elementary school content, with the inheritance technique being an extremely rapid method, naturally progressing very quickly.
However, the progress on the fifth level of the Beast God Path was significantly slower.
“Hurry and report to the race, Luo Feng is on Purple Thorn Island!”
“That damned Luo Feng, actually hiding on Purple Thorn Island!”
“To eliminate Luo Feng, dispatching a Sovereign of the Universe is necessary. However, should any of our Sovereigns set foot on Purple Thorn Island, they would instantly be obliterated by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. We lack the authority to access that domain.”
(Note: “Purple荆Island” appears to contain a mixed term where “荆” may be a typo or untranslated character. If it’s part of a proper noun like “Purple Thorn Island” or a specific name, please confirm for accuracy.)
“If he were hiding within Human territory, we might have a chance! But the Ancestral God Religion’s power surpasses that of the Humans. With Luo Feng hiding on Purple Thorn Island, we are completely powerless.”
The Insect Race, Demon Race, and Machine Race were now all troubled and frustrated.
…
Luo Feng continued his peaceful cultivation on Purple Thorn Island.
“My Gold-Horned Giant Beast clone, after two months of interstellar travel, has finally arrived at the location of the fifth black metal plate.” Luo Feng on Purple Thorn Island smiled slightly.
