The shattered void gradually began to coalesce and recover, while the floating continent, which had been flying within the Twin Vortex Region, completely pierced through, leaving a massive hole with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Hundreds of powerful experts, scattered in various places, were sighing and lamenting the battle just concluded.
Suddenly—
A formidable presence suddenly emerged from the void. A metallic humanoid figure, its armor faintly shimmering with a dark luster, materialized out of thin air. The overwhelming pressure radiating from it spread outward, instantly silencing the hundreds of human experts present.
“It’s the Mingyun King!”
“It’s the Mechanical Race’s Mingyun King!”
“He belongs to the Mechanical Race’s faction. How come he arrived so quickly?”
“Haven’t you heard that Mingyun King has long publicly offered a reward for the coordinates of Daohe King? It’s likely that someone from the human faction leaked the coordinates earlier, allowing Mingyun King to arrive so quickly.” Among the hundreds of human faction experts, nearly all were Kings, including many at the initial and advanced King levels. Facing the overwhelming might of Mingyun King, none from the human faction dared provoke him.
…
Mingyun King stood in the void, scanning the surroundings with a glare, and roared, “Where is Daohe King?”
“Mingyun King,” the experts from the human faction, though not provoking him, were not afraid either. One lifeform, as massive as a small mountain, spoke with a thunderous voice, “Daohe King fought Heiti King earlier. After the battle, he left, killing Xuejiao King on his way out. By now, Daohe King probably doesn’t even know where his divine kingdom has teleported to.”
“Fought Heiti King?” Mingyun King turned his gaze toward the mountain-like lifeform.
The mountainous lifeform rumbled, “You can see for yourself.”
Whoosh!
A hazy projection appeared midair, displaying a three-dimensional virtual image. This technology had existed since the era of the Earth base cities. Obviously, the technology in the universe was far more advanced, nearly indistinguishable from reality. The projection showed the battle scene between Heiti King and Daohe King.
Mingyun King watched silently until the end.
Both he and Heiti King were among the most powerful beings in the entire extraterrestrial battlefield. At their level, watching the virtual playback could reveal many secrets. Undoubtedly, this confrontation was a probing exchange between Heiti King and Daohe King. In the universe, unless intending to fight to the death, rarely would they burn their immortal divine bodies.
Neither Heiti King nor Daohe King had burned their immortal divine bodies.
“He only employed the most fundamental technique—the Divine Hammer!” murmured King Mingyun. “Of his three ultimate techniques, only one was unleashed. As for King Daohe…”
“It’s said he excels in sword techniques, yet this time he used mental force weapons.”
“And he has the Zhongjian King as a servant. Previous intelligence indicated that following him were Tianzhen King and Jihong King. Tianzhen King was saved by him, while Jihong King came from another faction, yet followed Daohe King so respectfully—he must also be Daohe King’s servant!”
“How many servants does he actually have?”
“His flight ability is extremely strong!”
“His defense is already well-known. This time, he revealed his mental force weapon again.” Mingyun King felt that Daohe King was indeed unfathomable, possessing numerous hidden cards. Just the fact that he didn’t deploy his subordinates showed Daohe King’s confidence.
…
The numerous experts from the human faction observed Mingyun King’s reaction. After watching the playback of the previous battle, Mingyun King remained silent for a moment before speaking in a low tone, “Daohe King indeed has the strength to match his reputation. Even if he possesses powerful treasures, he deserves them.” With that, he instantaneously vanished into thin air.
Though Mingyun King had departed, his words stirred a storm among the hundreds of human faction experts.
“Mingyun King acknowledged Daohe King’s strength.”
“He recognized Daohe King’s strength and his eligibility to possess powerful treasures.”
“Pity, it seems unlikely we’ll witness a battle between Mingyun King and Daohe King now.”
“Now that Mingyun King has spoken thus, he won’t pursue Daohe King anymore. This battle clearly proved Daohe King’s strength.”
The many experts from the human faction sighed deeply. Such was the law of the strong—only the powerful were worthy of possessing mighty treasures. Those weaker beings who stumbled upon such treasures had to wield them with utmost caution, constantly fearing discovery by the strong. Once exposed, they would inevitably face relentless assaults from all directions! Hadn’t mighty figures like King Mingyun and King Qijian amassed countless treasures themselves?
Take Qijian King, for example. His “Seven Swords” was itself a powerful treasure, along with several other treasures.
Heiti King and Mingyun King were no different.
The extraterrestrial battlefield was aware they held treasures, yet no one dared to make a move to seize them! That was the power of true strength! And this battle… the direct confrontation between Daohe King and Heiti King served as the ultimate testament to his prowess! Though there might still be a slight gap compared to Heiti King and others, Daohe King’s uncanny speed and astonishing defense rendered him just as formidable and fearsome as the rest.
…
This battle caused Daohe King’s legend to spread throughout the entire extraterrestrial battlefield.
Countless powerhouses began comparing Daohe King with formidable figures like Heiti King, Xuanmu King, Qijian King, and Talong King. In the eyes of numerous warriors on the extraterrestrial battlefield… Daohe King might be slightly less dominant than the others, but his sheer “speed” alone was enough to instill terror and despair in countless adversaries.
“Better to encounter Qijian or Mingyun than Daohe!”
“Facing Qijian or Mingyun, there’s still a chance to escape. But once encountering Daohe King… with space sealed, who could possibly outrun him? You wouldn’t even be able to flee.”
“Be careful not to provoke Daohe King. Over six thousand years ago, Daohe King could withstand the explosion of the strongest Flame God Source Crystal. Now, with his strength having surged, it’s definitely even more absurd. His defense is terrifyingly strong, his flight speed terrifyingly fast—keep your distance.”
Thus, the legend of Daohe King began to spread through the words of powerful warriors from various regions and races across the vast universe on the extraterrestrial battlefield, making Daohe King a rather renowned figure in the cosmos.
…
As for Luo Feng, after that battle, once he left the Twin Vortex Region, he immediately and discreetly returned to human territory via divine kingdom teleportation.
…
At the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.
Luo Feng, having resumed his Sovereign form, boarded a spaceship from the Virtual Universe Company, traveling through cosmic channels toward the Chaos City of the Primeval Chaos Universe.
“Your Highness.”
“Your Highness.”
The ship’s captain, a King-level immortal from the human faction, was extremely respectful.
Luo Feng merely smiled and nodded, then found a private cabin to rest inside the ship.
“Captain, is it really necessary to be so courteous to Luo Feng? He’s just a Sovereign. With your strength at the advanced King level, you could easily eliminate a Sovereign with a wave of your hand,” said one immortal crew member. Others nearby murmured in agreement, adding, “Exactly. That Luo Feng just got lucky, being accepted as a disciple by the Chaos City Lord. If not for being the direct disciple of the Chaos City Lord, what is a Sovereign anyway? This trip is mainly for him, so we have to specially escort him to Chaos City. If it were an ordinary Sovereign, we’d definitely make him wait until enough passengers had gathered before departing.”
The captain merely smiled, “Though he is a Sovereign, and though I could easily eliminate him, he is still the direct disciple of the Chaos City Lord. You all can talk like this in private, but don’t say such things outside. If Luo Feng, relying on his status as the Chaos City Lord’s direct disciple, were to hold you accountable, no one could protect you.”
“We understand.”
“Don’t worry, Captain. We’re not that foolish.”
“Just talking in private. I just can’t stand his attitude, as if our respect is something he deserves.” The immortal crew members were somewhat indignant.
The captain secretly shook his head. Imbalance was normal; he himself felt the same. Still, he had to maintain a respectful demeanor. If one wanted to climb the ranks within the Virtual Universe Company and hold a high position, and if one’s strength wasn’t sufficient, then one must be especially careful not to offend anyone. Someone like Luo Feng, who had connections to the top, was absolutely someone one must never offend.
“Hmph, once so prominent in the past, nearly ten thousand years have passed, and after becoming the direct disciple of the Chaos City Lord, there’s been no news of any achievements. He’ll probably just fade into obscurity,” the captain mused silently.
…
Above Chaos City, the spaceship gradually came to a halt.
“Your Highness.”
“Your Highness.”
Led by the captain, several crew members respectfully saw Luo Feng off at the cabin door.
Luo Feng looked down at the ancient city below, shrouded in endless chaotic currents. This was Chaos City. Since becoming the direct disciple of the Chaos City Lord, he had gained the permanent right to reside here. Actually, considering his achievements in the Trial of the Heavens, he also had the right to reside here permanently.
Within Chaos City, at the Mansion of Zhenyan King.
Luo Feng directly rushed into the mansion, encountering several of Zhenyan King’s honorary disciples and some of his direct disciples.
“Senior brother.”
“Brother Luo Feng.” Many disciples in the mansion warmly greeted Luo Feng. He asked them and learned where his teacher, Zhenyan King, currently resided.
Moments later—
Luo Feng rushed to the courtyard but suddenly stopped outside.
“I could hear your loud calls from afar. Why haven’t you come in yet?” came the voice of his teacher, Zhenyan King, from within the courtyard.
Luo Feng grinned and pushed open the door to enter.
Zhenyan King was sitting there, and with a casual wave of his hand, the door closed again.
“You came to visit your teacher like this?” Zhenyan King sat there, looking at Luo Feng, seemingly cold and indifferent.
Luo Feng merely grinned, flipped his hand, and a crimson-red wine bottle appeared. The wine bottle was about the size of a palm, with an unusual shape somewhat resembling a pot-bellied ape. Intricate law runes were carved on its surface, faintly exuding the aura of the Flame Law.
Then, Luo Feng respectfully placed the bottle of wine on his teacher’s table.
“Your disciple has returned, following your instructions, bringing wine,” Luo Feng said solemnly, “I wonder if my teacher is satisfied.”
“Satisfied, satisfied.”
Zhenyan King’s eyes widened, his gaze burning with excitement as he carefully examined the bottle. He stretched out his furry hand to caress it, nodding repeatedly, “Yes, this is it. Hmph… Even with enormous wealth within our human race, it’s hard to buy this wine. Even if it’s available, a King-level expert at the peak would have to go bankrupt to afford it… This wine is extremely rare among our human race. I’ve only tasted a cup before. I never expected…”
“Tsk tsk.” King Zhenyan chuckled cheerfully at Luo Feng, “My dear disciple, the mighty King Daohe. It seems your expedition on the extraterrestrial battlefield this time has yielded substantial gains.”
“Hehe.” Luo Feng grinned.
The harvest was indeed substantial.
