Luo Feng and Dylan transformed into two streaks of lightning, instantly piercing through the atmosphere and arriving above the Luo family mansion in Yangzhou City.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng instantly noticed a towering and formidable celestial being emanating overwhelming divine majesty in the distant heavens. By the deity’s side stood his wife, Xu Xin, visibly restrained and unable to break free.
“Dad.”
“Your Highness.”
“Master.”
A group of Domain Lords standing nearby, upon seeing Luo Feng and Dylan appear, revealed a hint of joy. Even Xu Xin, bound and helpless, showed a flicker of excitement and concern upon seeing Luo Feng in the distance.
“Haha… You arrived swiftly, Prince Luo.” The immortal deity ‘Burna’, radiant like a blazing sun, turned and smiled.
“Fenxin Marquis,” Luo Feng frowned, “you are an immortal of Marquis-level status. I am truly surprised that you would stoop so low. Please release my wife.”
Burna smiled, “I am honored that Prince Luo remembers my name. I merely restrained your wife to draw you out for a meeting. I mean no harm. Since you ask me to release her, of course I shall comply!”
As he spoke, Xu Xin felt her bindings vanish. Without hesitation, she swiftly flew down to the grassy ground below.
Luo Feng eyed the Fenxin Marquis with suspicion. “Fenxin Marquis, what business do you have with me?”
“Let us find a quiet place to sit and talk,” said Fenxin.
“Fine.”
Luo Feng nodded.
Meanwhile, his Mosha Clan clone, hidden within the World Ring, released the World Power from the Origin Core. Since Luo Feng had refined the World Ring, only he could freely enter and exit it. Others, if trapped, would be unable to find a way out.
The World Power released from the Mosha clone’s Origin Core effortlessly exited the World Ring and spread outward!
The World Power enveloped the entire Luo family estate.
Retrieve!
All family members—his parents Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan, his wife Xu Xin, and others like Di Fan—were drawn into one of the continents within his inner world, the Gold Continent. Those captured, including Di Fan and the ten Domain Lords, had no idea whether they had been drawn into the World Ring or into an inner world.
After all, the only difference between an inner world and a pocket dimension was the medium that contained it.
The inner world was contained by the Origin Core and Life Core.
A pocket dimension, on the other hand, was contained by precious materials forged into a vessel.
“Burna, let’s go below and talk,” Luo Feng said with a smile.
“Prince, you truly are cautious,” the tall, bald Burna glanced below. The Luo family estate was completely empty. He didn’t mind and followed Luo Feng and Dylan with a smile to a courtyard within the estate.
…
Within the courtyard.
Luo Feng, Dylan, and Burna sat together.
“Speak,” Luo Feng said with a faint smile. “Fenxin Marquis, you went through the trouble of coming to Earth and even resorted to such underhanded methods just to meet me face to face. What could be so important?”
“Haha, I must admit, I feel a little ashamed,” Burna smiled, his face faintly glowing with a holy light, exuding the aura of the Law of Light. “I happened to visit the Milky Way Galaxy, wandered around, and grew fond of this star system. Unable to contain my affection, I came personally to Earth, Your Highness’s homeland, to offer to buy the Milky Way from you.”
Luo Feng was stunned.
Buy the Milky Way?
Previously, the Undying Venerable had wanted to buy the Milky Way. Now this Marquis-level immortal, Burna, had come with the same request.
“The usual price for a star system is less than one Chaos Unit, but I don’t want to shortchange Prince Luo. I’m willing to offer one hundred Chaos Units for the Milky Way. What do you say?” Burna smiled at Luo Feng.
“One hundred Chaos Units? Quite a high price,” Luo Feng mused.
It was absurd.
The true highest authority of the Axe Combat Arena, the Undying Venerable, had personally come before, willing to let Luo Feng name his price. For a being like him, even if Luo Feng had asked for a sum equivalent to the average wealth of a Royal-level immortal—hundreds of millions of Chaos Units—the Undying Venerable would likely have agreed.
In the end, the Undying Venerable had only asked for a small island on Earth.
“Now this Marquis-level immortal dares to offer only one hundred Chaos Units? He must think I don’t know Earth’s true value,” Luo Feng thought coldly.
“Not high at all. A cherished treasure is worth at least one hundred Chaos Units,” Burna said.
“Fine then,” Luo Feng nodded. “I’m willing to sell you the other planets in the Milky Way, but Earth is my home. That is non-negotiable.”
Burna was taken aback.
Luo Feng smirked inwardly, watching the Marquis-level immortal’s expression. “Keep pretending, keep pretending. Let’s see how far you can go.”
“I truly love the Milky Way, and I believe its greatest treasure is Earth,” Burna quickly added. “Prince Luo, name your price. As long as it’s reasonable, I am willing to pay.”
“Hmph!” Luo Feng suddenly stood, shouting, “Mr. Burna, you know Earth is my home. How could I ever sell it?”
“No hope at all?” Burna stared at Luo Feng.
“None,” Luo Feng shook his head.
“Then there’s no choice,” Burna sighed and, through the Virtual Universe Network, instantly sent a message to Yanzhu King and others.
Vrrrrrrr~~~
Instantly, a group of immortal deities appeared above the African continent of Earth. In the same moment, they teleported directly into the courtyard of the Luo family estate.
…
Within the courtyard.
“There’s an immortal power scanning the area,” Dylan quickly telepathically warned Luo Feng.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s heart jolted.
Before his eyes, a large group of figures abruptly manifested in the void beside the courtyard—seventeen in total, each radiating a terrifying divine aura. The overwhelming pressure turned Luo Feng’s face ashen.
“Yanzhu King,” Luo Feng looked at the sudden arrivals. There was the magnificently dressed Yanzhu King, the dignified, single-horned old man with blue hair, the terrifying woman with fish-scale armor covering her face, the man wearing tattered-looking robes that exuded a strange aura, and the lizard-like deity.
Beside the King of Yanzhu stood five other figures, each emanating an awe-inspiring majesty that set Luo Feng’s heart pounding. Behind them stood eleven immortal deities, their oppressive auras far surpassing even Dylan’s.
“Prince Luo, we meet again,” Yanzhu King smiled.
“Yanzhu King,” Luo Feng stood to greet him, while Dylan’s expression subtly changed. He telepathically warned, “Your Highness, including Burna just now, there are eighteen immortals here—six Royal-level and twelve Marquis-level. This is an extremely terrifying force, all belonging to the Axe Combat Arena. Be extremely cautious.”
“I understand,” Luo Feng replied telepathically.
He was puzzled.
Eighteen powerful immortals—such a force was unheard of even among the rulers of entire galaxies, who often had no Royal-level immortals under their command. Usually, only the Cosmic Sovereigns of the Five Great Powers would have Royal-level immortals accompanying them. Six Royal-level immortals—this was an overwhelming force capable of sweeping half the galaxy.
Wait?
All eighteen were from the Axe Combat Arena. The previous Undying Venerable was also from the Axe Combat Arena. Why were they all from the Axe Combat Arena?
Luo Feng was confused but spoke calmly, “I wonder why Your Highness has come to Earth in person?”
“Don’t be tense, sit down,” Yanzhu King sat first, followed by the other five Royal-level immortals.
“Alright,” Luo Feng sat. Not long ago, Yanzhu King had openly opposed him, yet now he smiled warmly.
“As for why I’m here, Burna already mentioned it—I want to buy your Earth,” Yanzhu King, with fingers more beautiful than a woman’s, gently tapped the stone table as he smiled at Luo Feng. “No need for pleasantries. Name your price. We’re here to make a deal.”
Luo Feng frowned. “Earth is my home…”
“Final offer!” Yanzhu King interrupted, raising a single finger. “One hundred million Chaos Units.”
Dylan, standing behind Luo Feng, was startled.
One hundred million Chaos Units?
“I already said I would never sell my home,” Luo Feng shook his head. “Even one hundred million Chaos Units won’t change my mind.”
“Haha, good, good, good,” Yanzhu King grinned. “You have spirit. I’ll give you face—how about one billion Chaos Units? That’s a fortune even many junior Royal-level immortals would struggle to accumulate. With that wealth, you could even raise your Cloudvine to the level of an immortal deity.”
Luo Feng still shook his head.
Yanzhu King’s expression immediately darkened.
“Hmph!”
Yanzhu King abruptly stood, slamming his palm onto the stone table. The table exploded, sending shards flying in all directions. Dylan quickly used immortal power to contain the debris, but the courtyard was reduced to ruins while the rest of the area remained untouched.
“I give you face, but you refuse to take it,” Yanzhu King sneered at Luo Feng. “Then let’s play the ugly game!”
Boom!
Powerful immortal forces instantly bound Dylan and Luo Feng. At the same time, a surge of World Power spread outward, instantly enveloping the entire Earth.
“Retrieve!” Yanzhu King’s expression turned cold.
All humans on Earth—whether Asians, Caucasians, Africans, or slaves purchased from other planets—were drawn into the World Ring. As for Earth itself, since it was valued by his father, the Corrosion Flame Sovereign, he dared not recklessly absorb it.
In an instant…
The entire Earth was left with only the people in this courtyard.
“Now, apart from this courtyard, there is not a single human left on Earth,” Yanzhu King released the immortal bindings and coldly stared at Luo Feng. “I give you two choices: First, agree to transfer Earth’s ownership and you will receive one billion Chaos Units and all of Earth’s people. Second, refuse me, and every human in my pocket dimension will perish without exception!”
