Chapter 1039

Sword River Luo

A wisp of Luo Feng's divine power swiftly drilled into the black sword body, and his life imprint was directly branded upon it, successfully completing the recognition process. “Hmm?” A hint of confusion flickered in the eyes of the Golden Horned Beast, its head lowered. “What’s going on? There’s no message transmitted from this supreme treasure…” Youhai Luo Feng also looked down at the black sword body in confusion. Like many valuable treasures and supreme treasures, a message is usually transmitted into one's consciousness upon recognition. This typically includes a detailed description of the weapon, or even a set of secret techniques for operating the treasure. Of course, some treasures don't have messages, such as the 'Star Map,' 'Shi Wu Wings,' 'Tower Bead,' and many others. Whether there's a message depends on whether the powerful being who created the treasure left one. The Tower Bead is part of the Star Tower and does not contain messages. The Star Map is also an ordinary supreme treasure created by Zuo Shan Ke, combining a scroll with numerous sealed stars. Therefore—some supreme treasures and valuable treasures might not contain messages. However, according to the data Luo Feng reviewed, collected by Niu Zhou Venerable regarding the Original Star, any supreme treasures or valuable treasures born on the Original Star… these are treasures nurtured by the universe itself, and they inherently possess messages. “Strange,” Luo Feng muttered to himself, feeling a bit perplexed. “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” The three teams, comprising eight high-level Universe Venerables, were attacking frantically, their blows repeatedly striking the Golden Horned Beast’s wings, interrupting Luo Feng’s thoughts. Whoosh! With a thought, the Golden Horned Beast caused the black greatsword to rapidly shrink and integrate into its body, merging with one of its scales. …“Roar~~~” A world-shaking roar echoed, and simultaneously, the massive, golden wings, spread wide like a canopy, rapidly shrank from hundreds of thousands of kilometers across to tens of thousands of kilometers wide, naturally revealing the two towering figures of the Golden Horned Beast and the Youhai clone. The eight super beings of the universe who had been attacking were immediately disappointed at the sight. “The supreme treasure has been taken!” “It’s already recognized!” “Damn Starry Sky Behemoth, let’s go!” The eight super beings of the universe glared fiercely at the towering figures of the Youhai clone and the Golden Horned Beast. First, the three super powerful beings of the Prison Race flew away directly. The five Universe Venerables from the nearby Hong Alliance and Northern Territory Alliance also showed a hint of disappointment; they no longer harbored any thoughts of seizing the treasure. They were all very clear that before the treasure was recognized, they could still contend for it! But now that it had been recognized, the only way to seize the treasure was to kill the Golden Horned Beast! One must remember that the Golden Horned Beast had withstood the attacks of eight Universe Venerables without issue, showing how strong its defense was… and if it truly wanted to escape, they wouldn't be able to stop it. What most extinguished any desire to seize the treasure was the sheer size of the Golden Horned Beast’s divine body! “With such a massive divine body, even if it just slowly wears us down, we’d burn through our divine bodies before we could kill it.” “We arrived too late this time; it would have been better if we’d come earlier.” “A supreme treasure, fallen into the hands of the Starry Sky Behemoth.” Both the Hong Alliance and the Northern Territory Alliance felt a sense of unwillingness. “Haha, five of you, you were too slow,” the Golden Horned Beast rumbled in a deep voice. “Consider yourself lucky!” “Let’s go.” The three Universe Venerables from the Northern Territory Alliance and the two from the Hong Alliance also departed swiftly. The Golden Horned Beast and the Youhai clone looked into the distance… At this moment, teams were approaching from afar, drawn by the aura of the supreme treasure and the commotion of the battle. “Quick, let’s go!” The Youhai clone rapidly shrank to over nine meters tall, and the Golden Horned Beast also abruptly shrank to over a hundred meters long. With a spread of its golden wings… the Youhai clone sat cross-legged on the Golden Horned Beast’s back. Whoosh! They swiftly tore through the air and departed… “The treasure has already fallen into the hands of that Starry Sky Behemoth.” “Let’s go.” “This treasure hunt is over. We’ll wait for next time.” “I wonder if the treasure that appeared this time was a top-tier set of valuable treasures, or just an ordinary supreme treasure.” The later-arriving alien Universe Venerables discussed among themselves, each secretly puzzled, but they could only leave. On the Original Star, 'the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first' – it requires both strength and luck. If a supreme treasure appears nearby, one naturally gains a huge advantage. …The three Universe Venerables from the Northern Territory Alliance were flying away, returning to their temporary resting place—the peak of a low mountain range. “Those two Starry Sky Behemoths are truly lucky.” “However, the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance is indeed mysterious and powerful, possessing domain-type treasures, wing supreme treasures, and now they’ve obtained a black sword supreme treasure.” The three Universe Venerables conversed, and among them, the Universe Venerable, about ten meters tall and seemingly forged from metal, was frowning in thought. “Yes, yes… that style…” “Right, that’s it!” “It is!” The purple metal venerable’s eyes lit up. First, he used his divine power to completely isolate their surroundings, then immediately looked at the alien beast venerable lying on the ground with hundreds of soft tendrils around its mouth, saying, “Bai He Venerable, you have a clone in the core territory of our Northern Territory Alliance; quickly send a message to the alliance. We just discovered one of the divine swords of Sword River Luo.” “Sword River Luo?” The two Universe Venerables beside him were stunned, then their eyes widened dramatically. Especially Bai He Venerable’s numerous eyes, which gleamed brightly: “The legendary top-tier supreme treasure, ‘Sword River Luo’?” Sword River Luo… was arguably the most dazzling supreme treasure to appear on the Original Star in over a hundred years since its opening! At that time, a massive mausoleum emerged from underground—a tomb of swords, a Sword Mound! The Sword Mound had an ancient stone stele, which recorded… that within the Sword Mound were numerous valuable divine swords, several ordinary supreme treasures, and the most precious of all—components of Sword River Luo! Sword River Luo consists of two parts: a compass and nine divine swords. The nine divine swords merge into the compass, and once activated, they can transform into an endless Sword River, unleashing overwhelming power. When all nine swords unite, their power stacks… becoming even more incredible. It is both a domain-type top-tier supreme treasure and can rival a peak supreme treasure in terms of attack. The compass alone is a domain-type ordinary supreme treasure! Integrating a single divine sword enhances its power, and as more divine swords are integrated… its power grows stronger, reaching its most perfect state only when all nine swords are fully merged. When this super supreme treasure, the Sword Mound, appeared, the compass only carried one black divine sword, with the other eight divine swords missing. …“One of Sword River Luo’s divine swords, where was it? Where did we find it?” Bai He Venerable pressed, asking repeatedly. “Where did we…” Another Universe Venerable had just begun to speak when the purple metal-like Universe Venerable couldn’t help but interject: “It’s the black supreme treasure sword that those two from the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance just took! I’ve personally seen images of Sword River Luo, and the black sword embedded in that compass is identical to the black sword we just saw!” Bai He Venerable was greatly alarmed. “Quick, report it to the alliance!” the purple metal venerable urged repeatedly. “Alright, alright,” Bai He Venerable nodded repeatedly. Many of the super powerful beings from various cosmic races who entered the Original Star had left avatars within their clans, and a very small number even had clones! Avatars could already transmit simple messages… but for some important matters, avatars might not be sufficient. “My clone has already entered the core territory of the alliance,” “A Universe Master is about to meet me,” Bai He Venerable whispered. After a long while— “The report is complete. I simulated the appearance of the black divine sword through my consciousness. The Universe Master has confirmed that it is indeed one of the components of Sword River Luo! Supreme treasures are inherently rare, and it’s almost impossible for two supreme treasures to have nearly identical appearances. Moreover, both appeared on the Original Star, one after another… it must be one of Sword River Luo’s divine swords.” “The Universe Master has ordered us—to remain still for now. They are currently arranging for several Universe Overlords and the Demon Overlord, who are closest to our Original Star, to rush here.” “Our contribution has been recorded.” Bai He Venerable looked at the other two, and they all exchanged excited smiles. …At this moment, the Northern Territory Alliance immediately began arranging for powerful beings to arrive at the Original Star where Luo Feng was located as quickly as possible. …In the Virtual Universe, at an open-air bar within the inner city of Hong Alliance City, a large number of Universe Venerables were gathered. Almost all the Hong Alliance powerful beings who entered the Original Star had left avatars, and these avatars were connected to the Virtual Universe… to transmit messages. “Another supreme treasure has appeared! Look, it’s this one, I saw it with my own eyes.” “What supreme treasure?” “Come and see!” “Which Original Star?” Various voices rang out; everyone was very interested in news from the Original Star. “Look, this is the image,” an alien powerful being, bald with a hairy body and a pair of golden eyes, displayed an image. “This supreme treasure slowly emerged from a swamp at the time. Unfortunately, I was too far away and arrived too late. This supreme treasure was jointly seized by two powerful beings from the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance.” “A supreme treasure.” “What a pity, a supreme treasure right before your eyes, and you couldn’t get your hands on it. It was actually taken by the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance.” “I couldn’t help it. Both of those powerful beings from the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance have divine bodies over ten thousand kilometers long… with such strong divine bodies, is there any hope of taking the treasure back from them? Even if a Universe Overlord fought desperately, it would take a lot of effort to completely exhaust such a massive divine body.” The bald Universe Venerable said. “Isn’t that Sword River Luo’s divine sword?” “Yes, Sword River Luo’s divine sword!” …Suddenly, chaos erupted. At this moment, a figure walked into the open-air bar; it was Luo Feng. “Strange, a treasure from the Original Star, recognized, yet without any message,” Luo Feng wondered. Because of this confusion, he connected to the Virtual Universe… arriving at the message exchange hub for Hong Alliance powerful beings in the Virtual Universe, hoping to ask some familiar friends. Many friends, including Niu Zhou Venerable, were there. “Niu Zhou Venerable,” Luo Feng spotted Niu Zhou Venerable in the distance, listening intently to someone’s rapid message, and immediately called out. Niu Zhou Venerable turned around, his eyes lighting up: “Daohe.” Luo Feng smiled and walked over. Suddenly, his brow furrowed as a figure caught his attention. “It’s him?” Luo Feng recognized the bald Universe Venerable as one of the two Hong Alliance Universe Venerables who had attacked him earlier on the Original Star.
