Chapter 1027
Blaze Emperor
Blaze Emperor, leading his Yan God Clan, had long ago separated from the human race. He found a cosmic secret realm in a remote territory, incredibly distant from human space, to settle down and multiply. Countless years passed... the Yan God Clan grew even stronger, and with Blaze Emperor's unrivaled power spanning the cosmos, no one dared to provoke them. Although the Yan God Clan's territory was incredibly far from human space... the Yan God Clan still frequently entered the 'Outer Battlefield,' joining other factions to fight against humanity. “The fragments of combat armor and general’s armor I found back then were all discovered in the debris and junk piles left by war.” Luo Feng stood on the deck of the Yinhe ancient ship, gazing at the boundless cosmic void. “The Yan God Clan, despite separating from the human race, still cooperates with one of the insectoid, monster, or mechanical races to continue fighting humanity... It seems their enmity with humans is deep!” Logically, the Yan God Clan was originally a part of humanity. Even after separating, there was no need to continue fighting. Yet, whether it was the information Luo Feng found in the Virtual Universe or the fragments of combat armor and general’s armor he scavenged from war debris... all indicated a hostile relationship between the Yan God Clan and the human race! “Blaze Emperor, a Universe Master cultivated by Master, and aided by two powerful supreme treasures, the Yan God Halberd and the Original Soul, must be far stronger than the Sirius Master.” “However, while he dared to leave the human race, he probably wouldn’t dare defy Master Zuoshanke.” Luo Feng mused inwardly. Whoosh! Luo Feng waved his hand, and the Yinhe ancient ship rapidly shrank to the size of a date pit, falling into his palm. “I’ll go pay a visit to my second senior brother.” Luo Feng used teleportation in the cosmic void, approaching the Yan God Clan’s stronghold. ... The Yan God Clan lived on three vast and expansive continents. These three continents... the smallest one had a diameter exceeding 1 light-year, and the largest was about 3 light-years in diameter. The three continents orbited each other, and in the central void they encircled, there was a majestic cluster of floating palaces. Around the palace cluster, endless flames blazed: black, purple, white, green, blue... Flames of various colors swirled. Immortal warriors marched along the corridors and plazas, their eyes filled with respect only when they occasionally glanced at the tallest main hall in the center of the palace cluster. Each Yan God Clan warrior was tall and robust, with even the shortest standing eight meters, and the taller ones reaching ten meters. Their skin was covered in scales, and a curved horn protruded from their forehead. Their hands and feet were similar to those of Earthlings, but much larger, with a layer of scales on the backs of their hands. An aura of ferocity emanated from them. ... Inside the tallest main hall of the void palace cluster, encircled by the Yan God Clan’s three continents. A majestic figure sat high on a throne. This figure was nearly ten thousand kilometers tall, the air exhaled from its nostrils caused the surrounding void to burn, and its black single horn pierced directly into the sky. Its body was covered in dense black scales. It gently tapped the armrest with a finger, its eyes seemingly piercing through the void, seeing Luo Feng’s approaching figure from an immeasurable distance. “Quite a strong aura.” “A guest has arrived at my Yan God Clan’s secret realm.” The majestic figure spoke softly. He was a Universe Master... while ordinary Universe Venerables could sense spatial fluctuations from extremely far away, a Universe Master, who completely controlled space-time, could sense all spatial fluctuations within tens of millions of light-years! Indeed, if he wished, space-time would be like his tentacles, constantly extending to explore. “Let’s see who this guest is.” The majestic figure watched from afar with its eyes, following the transmission through space-time, breaking through layers of spatial barriers. In the distant void, a black-haired youth was rapidly approaching. Boom! The majestic figure on the throne suddenly vibrated with power, causing the surrounding space to tremble. “Third Junior Brother.” The majestic figure spoke softly, “I knew you would come once you achieved immortality. You’ve finally arrived.” “Becoming a disciple of Zhenyan, and a disciple of Chaos City Lord, Third Junior Brother, why are you so deeply entangled with the human race?” The majestic figure spoke softly, “Have you forgotten that your home planet, Earth, was cunningly seized by the human race? Don’t you know that their kindness towards you is merely to make you fight life-and-death battles for them?” “I’m truly sorry.” “I will not allow the super supreme treasure ‘Jie Jia’ to be used by the human race.” The majestic figure chuckled softly, “Without Master Zuoshanke’s command, you would probably never have any hope of obtaining Jie Jia.” “Master Zuoshanke!” A hint of apprehension flashed in Blaze Emperor’s eyes. The higher one stood, the more terrifying Zuoshanke felt. Zuoshanke had given him ‘Original Soul,’ ‘Yan God Halberd,’ and ‘Jie Jia,’ with Jie Jia temporarily entrusted to him. Logically, after becoming a Universe Master, with three super supreme treasures, he should have no fear! He wasn’t afraid of beings like Chaos City Lord or Montuo Master. Although the peak existences among Universe Masters could suppress him, they couldn’t kill him! Only... The Universe Supreme Beings! Upon reaching the ranks of ‘Universe Supreme Beings,’ their power was actually monstrous. Their words became law, easily altering rules and completely controlling certain areas. It was only due to the suppression of the universe’s operational laws that their displayed strength was merely slightly greater than that of beings like Chaos City Lord or Montuo Master. “As for Giant Axe Creator, due to his involvement with the human race, he wouldn’t dare to anger me.” “But Master Zuoshanke’s methods are endless and notoriously difficult to deal with. No one who has provoked him hasn’t suffered greatly.” Blaze Emperor’s eyes narrowed, a hint of cold light flashing. “Moreover, he’s a lone wolf with no attachments... and he knows almost all my trump cards. If we were to fight, then I...” If Blaze Emperor feared anyone in the universe, it was only Zuoshanke! “Furthermore, I still haven’t gained 100% control over Jie Jia.” Blaze Emperor stroked his arm, and a layer of transparent armor appeared on the surface of his scaled skin. Complex secret patterns shifted and changed on the armor, constantly transforming, their profoundness unparalleled. “Zuoshanke’s ability to create supreme treasures is indeed unique in the universe. This Jie Jia was created for Third Junior Brother, and other powerful beings cannot bind it. Although I can bind it, I can only activate a portion of its power.” Like the Tower Pearl... Whoever binds it, dies! Although Jie Jia wasn’t that extreme, other powerful beings couldn’t use it at all, and even ‘Blaze Emperor’ could only utilize a portion of its power. “Even though I can only use a portion of its power, it’s still stronger than many other top-tier supreme treasures.” Blaze Emperor stroked the transparent armor that had appeared, then looked up at the figure in the boundless void. Gradually, a smile appeared on Blaze Emperor’s face. “Third Junior Brother, if you can reach me and meet me, I will naturally have to obey Zuoshanke’s command and give it to you.” “But the prerequisite is... you must see me, or at least arrive at the location of my Yan God Clan!” Blaze Emperor said softly. As long as Luo Feng arrived and conveyed a message to some of the Yan God Clan’s immortal gods, Blaze Emperor couldn’t pretend ignorance. But if Luo Feng couldn’t even reach the Yan God Clan’s stronghold, and didn’t meet any of their high-ranking members, then Blaze Emperor could naturally feign ignorance. “Hmph hmph, you want Jie Jia?” “Wait until you reach the Universe Venerable level. With your current strength, you won’t be able to reach the heart of my Yan God Clan’s territory.” Blaze Emperor’s majestic figure abruptly stood up, descended from the throne, walked out of the palace, and gazed at the boundless void. Blaze Emperor was well aware of Zuoshanke’s character; everything he was doing was well within Zuoshanke’s tolerance. “Lockdown!” Blaze Emperor said softly. Immediately, with his main hall as the core, spatial fluctuations spread out in all directions, completely locking down an area spanning hundreds of light-years. “Although the spatial coordinates corresponding to my Yan God Clan have long been concealed, just in case, I’ll add a few more measures. Even if you invite Chaos City Lord to break it, it would be difficult to do so in a short time.” Blaze Emperor smiled slightly, his divine body moved, instantly reaching light speed, and he entered the dark universe to begin implementing his methods. ... Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Luo Feng teleported repeatedly, closing in on the Yan God Clan’s stronghold. “Almost there!” Luo Feng grew more excited. “Hmm?” Luo Feng suddenly stopped, frowning as he looked at the void ahead. Some star fragments floated in the void. “Spatial fluctuations are completely locked down? What’s going on?” “Teleportation is impossible within the Ancestral God Sect’s headquarters, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake; only certain inner areas of Purple Thorn Island allow it. Similarly, some important locations in my human race’s primal secret realm also prohibit teleportation.” Luo Feng mused, “Could the Yan God Clan be the same, with no teleportation possible within hundreds of light-years around their territory?” With the methods of a Universe Master, carving law secret patterns onto giant special structures and then powering them with crystals like Fire God Source Crystals could maintain a ‘spatial lockdown’ long-term. It could also be achieved through certain supreme treasures. “But if that’s the case, wouldn’t the Yan God Clan members also be unable to teleport?” Luo Feng frowned. “Or is it that my second senior brother intentionally locked down space?” “Not good!” Luo Feng’s expression changed. Immediately, he flapped his wings, streaking like a beam of light, rapidly reaching light speed and directly entering the dark universe. ... Luo Feng flew through the dark universe, quickly reaching the theoretical location of the Yan God Clan’s stronghold. “Where are the coordinates?” “Where are the dark universe coordinates corresponding to the Yan God Clan’s three continents?” Luo Feng held a coordinate locator in his left hand. The locator kept jumping, directly skipping from one coordinate to another, with a large section of coordinates completely missing. In just a moment, the locator displayed different coordinates for the same location. Luo Feng watched, dumbfounded. This was infinitely more powerful than Huyan Bo’s method of concealing dark universe coordinates back then. “Ruthless enough,” Luo Feng murmured. “Concealing dark universe coordinates! Spatial lockdown!” “This means I can only fly slowly, hundreds of light-years... even at near light speed, it would take hundreds of years to arrive.” By this point, Luo Feng understood perfectly: his second senior brother, Blaze Emperor, was indeed as he suspected, having used Jie Jia for so long that he didn’t want to return it. “He’s concealing cosmic coordinates and locking down space. The only thing he hasn’t done is personally confront me,” Luo Feng mused. “It seems he doesn’t dare openly defy Zuoshanke.”
