Never Underestimate a Superpower

High above the wilderness, Qi Chika Palace Master and Beifeng Venerable, two Cosmic Overlords, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock and solemnity. “Truly formidable,” Beifeng Venerable said softly. “This super expert from the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance possesses a domain-type heavy treasure, a flying-type supreme treasure, and his life-preserving combat armor is likely even a high-grade supreme treasure!” “Indeed, it must be a high-grade supreme treasure, and activated to its third form,” Qi Chika Palace Master stated gravely. “If it were merely an ordinary supreme treasure, it wouldn’t have withstood my Qi Chika Spear so easily.” They looked at each other. Big trouble! High-grade supreme treasure armor, activated to its third form, combined with that massive divine body… these three factors were enough to make other Cosmic Overlords despair. The more top-tier a super expert, the harder they are to kill. Many Cosmic Overlords are already difficult to kill; even if they can’t win, they can desperately flee. But for someone with high-grade supreme treasure armor that can weaken attacks to one ten-thousandth, and an absurdly large divine body? How could one kill such a being? Unless there was an enormous disparity in strength. For example, if a Universe Master acted! Or some heaven-defying special lifeform Cosmic Overlord! “We’re out of options,” Beifeng Venerable said softly. “And because of this incident, he’s been alerted beforehand, so our arrangements are likely to fail.” “Then what should we do?” Qi Chika Palace Master asked in a low voice. “First, we cannot admit to having fought this Golden Horn Behemoth. No other experts saw us, so if we don’t speak of it… no one will know,” Beifeng Venerable said. “Second, we should now obediently follow the alliance’s orders. The Northern Territory Alliance’s Universe Masters are coordinating the arrangements. Traps have been set at the vortex exits and several vortex channels closest to where the Jianhe Luo Divine Sword appeared. When the Overlord of Demon Subjugation personally arrives, that Golden Horn Behemoth certainly won’t escape.” Qi Chika Palace Master nodded. The Northern Territory Alliance, one of the nine most powerful forces in the universe, if they set a trap, how many could escape it? … In a vast, ancient forest on an Original Star, the Golden Horn Behemoth lay hidden, a trace of worry in its eyes. “What now?” “The original plan is no longer viable.” Earlier, when Luo Feng learned about the Jianhe Luo Divine Sword in the Virtual Universe, he immediately decided to escape. The chosen escape point was a vortex channel leading to the outside! According to Luo Feng’s earliest plan: First, fly close to the vortex channel… then, when nearing it, the Golden Horn Behemoth, Demon Killer Clan clone, and Abyssal Sea clone would temporarily separate. The Golden Horn Behemoth would transfer all supreme treasures and items, while the Demon Killer Clan clone, carrying the Abyssal Sea clone, would transform into mud and temporarily hide. The Golden Horn Behemoth would first attempt to pass through the vortex channel! If successful, the Demon Killer Clan clone would follow! If it failed, and he was trapped in a dangerous situation with no escape, the Golden Horn Behemoth would self-destruct! At the same time, Luo Feng’s Earthling true body in the outside world would immediately seek help from his teacher, Chaos City Lord, through the Virtual Universe! It should be noted— That vortex channel was the closest one to human territory. After Chaos City Lord arrived, he could, by virtue of his immense power, outwardly forcibly seize Luo Feng, but in reality, he would be saving him. … This plan, though simple, was direct and effective. However, after the recent battle with Qi Chika Palace Master and Beifeng Venerable… Luo Feng immediately changed his plan. “They both flew all the way here to find me; clearly, the Northern Territory Alliance acted very quickly. They probably recognized the black sword body when the Jianhe Luo Divine Sword appeared…” Luo Feng mused. From his battle with Qi Chika Palace Master and Beifeng Venerable, he could deduce— The Northern Territory Alliance had laid their plans very early! It was likely that the Northern Territory Alliance’s Universe Masters were also rushing over, and perhaps they would arrive even sooner than Chaos City Lord. “If I run to the vortex channel now, it’s destined to be a mad slaughter.” “Burying myself in that situation again would simply be asking for trouble.” “So what do I do?” “Should I head to other nearby vortex channels?” Luo Feng pondered. An Original Star has 10,081 vortex channels, and the distance between them is usually hundreds of millions of kilometers. It generally takes over half an hour to fly from one vortex channel to another. The vortex channel closest to him now would take about 15 minutes to reach. “If the Northern Territory Alliance’s arrangements are thorough, then several vortex channels closer to where the Jianhe Luo Divine Sword appeared would have traps set,” Luo Feng shook his head inwardly. “If I rush there, it’s just walking into a net. And that’s a very high probability.” Going to the vortex channel leading to the outside? Dangerous! Going to nearby vortex channels? Also dangerous! And if he went to some distant vortex channels, he feared that during the flight, the Northern Territory Alliance’s Universe Masters would descend, controlling a region of space-time, and even from a great distance, they could completely suppress and attack him. “Relying on the Demon Killer Clan’s transformation technique and innate ability ‘Replication’?” Luo Feng shook his head inwardly. The Demon Killer Clan is merely one of countless ordinary races in the universe, and the innate ability ‘Replication’ is just one of its relatively low-grade innate abilities, merely unique and peculiar. It’s not unbreakable. The Northern Territory Alliance, that’s one of the nine great superpowers of the universe. Once they set a trap… For Luo Feng to escape would be difficult, difficult, difficult! “I can only ask my teacher for help,” Luo Feng thought. … At the peak of Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe, within the Chaos City Lord’s palace shrouded in endless airflow. Luo Feng stepped across the threshold of the main hall, entered, and stopped deep inside, respectfully calling out, “Teacher!” A golden-robed figure emerged. “Luo Feng,” Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng and smiled, “You should be on an Original Star right now. You’re looking for me, is something the matter?” “Disciple has an urgent matter to report,” Luo Feng said without hesitation. “Disciple went to the Original Star with my Golden Horn Behemoth clone, carrying my Demon Killer Clan clone and others.” Chaos City Lord listened silently, nodding. He, of course, knew this, because Luo Feng’s Earthling true body was currently within the Thousand Treasures River. “On the Original Star, by chance, I obtained a component of the Jianhe Luo Divine Sword,” Luo Feng said. “Oh, it was you?” Chaos City Lord was surprised and laughed heartily. “I just received intelligence that two Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance members obtained a Jianhe Luo component… I was thinking that if this Jianhe Luo component fell into the hands of our human race, it would be an important bargaining chip in negotiations with the Thorn Ring Alliance.” Luo Feng quickly added, “However, disciple is now in great trouble. The Northern Territory Alliance also knows about this and has already begun to lay traps against disciple.” “Tell me in detail,” Chaos City Lord frowned. “Yes.” Luo Feng immediately began to explain in detail, mentioning Qi Chika Palace Master and Beifeng Venerable. “You weren’t harmed by them?” Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng in surprise. Qi Chika Palace Master and Beifeng Venerable were definitely renowned Cosmic Overlords… representing normal Cosmic Overlord combat power! That Luo Feng could withstand these two made Chaos City Lord feel shocked. Almost instantly… Chaos City Lord deduced that his disciple, Luo Feng, must possess a defensive supreme treasure, and it was likely of high-grade supreme treasure quality. Such as high-grade supreme treasure armor! Although he deduced it, Chaos City Lord did not press for details… Because his disciple Luo Feng already had a host of secrets, such as at the Immortal stage, why was his divine body so powerful? Stronger than many Universe Knights? It should be known that Chaos City Lord had personally witnessed Luo Feng’s breakthrough to Immortal and the terrifying commotion caused by the descent of origin laws! Moreover, Luo Feng was in the Thousand Treasures River, and the formidable power of his divine body… with Chaos City Lord’s control over a region of space-time, he could completely judge that Luo Feng’s divine body was even stronger than some Universe Knights. Chaos City Lord did not inquire about any of it. “Perhaps my disciple has obtained some great opportunity.” “Perhaps the opportunity of some powerful being.” “Perhaps from before the Great Cataclysmic Era…” Chaos City Lord was very happy to see this. Regardless of what special encounters his disciple had, the stronger the disciple, the better. The stronger Luo Feng became, the more it meant that the human race would soon have a new pillar-like superpower. “Disciple’s combat strength is still inferior to Qi Chika Palace Master and the others; I merely resisted by relying on my large divine body,” Luo Feng said. “A large divine body is also part of strength,” Chaos City Lord countered. Luo Feng then urgently said, “Teacher, I’m sure you understand the current situation. The Northern Territory Alliance’s experts are directly pursuing me, clearly having laid plans early. What should I do now? Going to any vortex channel seems dangerous. Please guide me, Teacher.” “You are quite wise not to be overconfident,” Chaos City Lord smiled. “Relying solely on your own abilities, you would certainly be caught and killed.” “The Northern Territory Alliance is comparable to my Hong Alliance, and in terms of the number of experts and the diversity of races, they far surpass us,” Chaos City Lord sighed. “There are countless special lifeforms, and many races with strong bloodlines possessing innate abilities. Their various innate abilities are incredibly ingenious.” “To find you? It’s simply impossible to guard against.” “Your innate ability ‘Replication’ is a very powerful stealth method. If relying on normal strength, one would need to become a Universe Master, completely controlling a region of space-time, to see through it,” Chaos City Lord said. Luo Feng nodded. Indeed, controlling a region of space-time is incredibly formidable. His own innate ability ‘Domain’ would be easily broken, and ‘Replication’ could also be easily broken. As for the innate ability ‘Enhancement,’ the divine body amplification only reaches a maximum of 100 times, so it will not be of much use in the later stages. Thus, many innate abilities are effective when one is weak. But at the Universe Master level… very few innate abilities can still serve a great purpose. However, Luo Feng’s innate ability ‘I Am the Universe,’ bestowed upon his soul consciousness when it entered a mysterious place in the cosmos after his life gene level reached its perfect limit, is almost one of the top-tier innate abilities. “Innate abilities can also be countered by other innate abilities,” Chaos City Lord said. “There are all sorts of innate abilities in the universe, and it’s quite normal to be bestowed with innate abilities due to special encounters.” “The tier of an innate ability determines its power, and even its purpose.” “They can be mutually exclusive.” “And mutually similar ones exist.” “However, these innate abilities become less useful the further one progresses,” Chaos City Lord smiled. “For example, Howling Mirror King’s innate ability is a soul attack technique, but a Universe Master’s casual soul attack would likely be far more refined than that innate ability.” Luo Feng nodded obediently. “And with the Northern Territory Alliance laying traps for you, trying to use various secret techniques to sneak away and escape is simply impossible!” Chaos City Lord shook his head. “You underestimate the capabilities of a superpower too much.” “Then what should I do?” Luo Feng asked. “Your teacher, of course, has a solution,” Chaos City Lord smiled.
