The Starry Sky Behemoth Ancestor

“Meet the Ancestor?” Luo Feng was truly startled. The reason the Nine Great Super Powers of the Universe could be called super powers was precisely because they possessed 'Universe Supreme Masters'. For instance, Luo Feng, despite being a member of the human race, had never actually met or conversed with the Giant Axe Creator. The only Universe Supreme Master he had ever met was Zuoshanke. Now, he was about to meet the strongest existence in the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance?

“Rumble~~” The Golden Horn Master’s four hooves trod the ground. Though seemingly slow, it had already reached Golden Horn Luo Feng’s side. “Don’t worry, don’t be afraid.” The Golden Horn Master looked at Golden Horn Luo Feng with gentle eyes. “Our Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance has many Universe Masters, but most of them have never seen the Ancestor! For you to be personally received by the Ancestor immediately after being brought back… this is also your opportunity.”

Xuanmie Master also descended. “If the Ancestor values you, the resources you receive will be far greater. Within our Starry Sky Alliance, the Ancestor’s authority is supreme.”

“I’m just a little apprehensive,” Golden Horn Luo Feng rumbled.

“It would be abnormal not to be apprehensive. Let’s go.”

The Golden Horn Master directly manipulated the surrounding space-time to bind Golden Horn Luo Feng, then transformed into a streak of light and flew off. Xuanmie Master also flew alongside.

…Flying, teleporting, flying…

The Golden Horn Master and Xuanmie Master led Golden Horn Luo Feng, spending nearly twenty minutes to reach the summit of the Starry Sky Divine Mountain. At the very top of the Starry Sky Divine Mountain, there was an independent peak! This peak was approximately a hundred million kilometers tall, appearing ethereal and indistinct. At first glance, it seemed virtual, yet upon closer inspection, it felt real. Especially noteworthy were the countless behemoth carvings on this independent peak, encompassing almost every race of Starry Sky Behemoths.

At the foot of this independent peak, twelve Starry Sky Behemoth Universe Masters stood guard. These twelve Starry Sky Behemoths represented the twelve great peak bloodlines.

“Golden Horn Master, Xuanmie Master.” The twelve guards respectfully saluted, automatically clearing the path, clearly having received instructions from the Ancestor long ago.

The Golden Horn Master and Xuanmie Master led the way, with Golden Horn Luo Feng following behind. They ascended along a mountain path.

“This is Ancestor Mountain,” the Golden Horn Master slowly said. “It is also an extremely terrifying super supreme treasure.”

“It is indeed terrifying.” Golden Horn Luo Feng also sensed waves of oppressive power. The might of this 'Ancestor Mountain' was so immense that it made Golden Horn Luo Feng’s four hooves feel subtly weak. But then again, a supreme treasure used by a Universe Supreme Master would naturally possess monstrous power. Even if it wasn't as potent as the Star Tower, it was probably only a notch below, and certainly stronger than the Thousand Treasures River. The reason he believed it was stronger than the Thousand Treasures River was purely Luo Feng’s intuition. He was already a powerful being, and at the very least, he could judge the strength of a supreme treasure by the oppressive power it released.

They continued along the mountain path. “On Ancestor Mountain, you must follow this path. Otherwise, you will be attacked by Ancestor Mountain. Even a simple, instinctive attack from Ancestor Mountain can easily annihilate a Universe Master. So, without permission, you must not trespass,” the Golden Horn Master instructed as they advanced, soon reaching the depths of the hundred-million-kilometer-tall 'Ancestor Mountain'.

“Ancestor.”

“Ancestor.”

The Golden Horn Master and Xuanmie Master almost simultaneously lowered their heads respectfully, showing reverence.

“Ancestor?” Golden Horn Luo Feng hadn’t seen anything. Only after carefully scanning the distant surroundings did he perceive an ethereal, indistinct, soft body slowly manifesting. Simultaneously, a colossal head emerged from the depths of the mountain. It was a dragon-like head, but with nine sharp horns crowning its skull. The nine sharp horns encircled its head like a crown. This extended head alone was thousands of kilometers long. Simultaneously, a part of an ethereal, indistinct hoof-claw subtly emerged from the distant mountain forest. Golden Horn Luo Feng clearly saw that the hoof-claw had nine digits. Although he only caught a glimpse of the Ancestor’s divine body, he could deduce that the Ancestor’s divine body was likely tens of thousands of kilometers long.

“Greetings, Ancestor,” Golden Horn Luo Feng quickly lowered his head.

The Ancestor’s eyelids lifted slightly, its gaze seemingly piercing through everything as it looked at Golden Horn Luo Feng. A voice, as if emanating from every inch of space, resounded: “Is this the rare genius you believe our Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance has found?”

“Yes,” Xuanmie Master respectfully replied.

“Ancestor.” The Golden Horn Master raised its head, much more casually. “This child was just brought back, and his divine body is already so powerful. It’s truly rare. And Yanxing previously sent word that this child was able to acquire the Jianhe Luo component on the Primal Star. Although we don’t care about that particular Jianhe Luo component, it reflects his capability. Hahaha, I believe our Golden Horn Behemoth lineage will produce a third Universe Overlord in the future.”

Golden Horn Luo Feng stood to the side, head bowed. Jianhe Luo component? He had already exchanged it for the 'Nine Xia River' supreme treasure.

“Hmm.”

“You two may return first,” the Ancestor commanded.

“Yes,” Xuanmie Master responded. The Golden Horn Master, however, immediately exclaimed with pleasant surprise: “Ancestor, you intend to personally nurture him? He is a rare genius of our Golden Horn Behemoth lineage; please don’t trifle with our Golden Horn Behemoth lineage.”

“Hmm,” the Ancestor replied.

The Golden Horn Master was instantly overjoyed. The Golden Horn Master then turned to Luo Feng and instructed: “Jinfeng, the Ancestor wishes to nurture you. This is your great fortune, seize it well.”

“Yes,” Golden Horn Luo Feng obediently listened.

“Let’s go.” The Golden Horn Master immediately departed with Xuanmie Master, following the mountain path.

…In the depths of the mountain, the Ancestor’s body was faintly visible, its colossal head overlooking Golden Horn Luo Feng. Luo Feng stood obediently to the side.

“To be able to slay the魃 Sword Master, impressive,” the Ancestor said. Luo Feng understood that the Desperate Starry Sky was entirely a realm where the Ancestor had altered the rules of cosmic operation. Naturally, nothing could escape the Ancestor’s eyes. He immediately replied respectfully, “Pure luck.”

“Human, you didn’t think you could deceive me, did you?” The Ancestor’s voice echoed through every inch of the surrounding space. He had indeed been recognized.

“As expected of a peerless genius rarely seen in the human race over billions of eras,” the Ancestor slowly stated. “Luo Feng, you are human, not a member of my Starry Sky Behemoth race. Naturally, it’s impossible for you to receive our race’s resources like other Starry Sky Behemoths.”

“Luo Feng understands.” Golden Horn Luo Feng instantly burrowed into his World Ring, and simultaneously, his Demon Killer Clan clone appeared. He believed that the Ancestor, who controlled the Desperate Starry Sky, had long known about his Demon Killer Clan clone.

Luo Feng reverted to his human form and respectfully saluted: “Human Luo Feng greets the Ancestor! Luo Feng inadvertently fell into this desperate realm and was unable to escape, forced to drift aimlessly, and was then brought here. I had no intention of deceiving the Ancestor. When I was weak, I once possessed a Golden Horn Behemoth; I ask for the Ancestor’s understanding.”

“Your home world was once pushed to the brink by a Golden Horn Behemoth; possessing it was your fortune. Your arrival here was indeed not by your own will. I will not concern myself with any of this,” the Ancestor slowly said. In truth, before becoming Undying, the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance would not interfere whether a Starry Sky Behemoth was enslaved or possessed. Only Starry Sky Behemoths who had achieved Undying status… would be brought in.

Luo Feng was secretly astonished. The matters concerning Earth and the Golden Horn Behemoth were known to very few within the human race. How could the Ancestor of the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance know about them?

“Your arrival here was not a coincidence; it was arranged by your teacher, Zuoshanke,” the Ancestor slowly stated. Luo Feng was stunned. Zuoshanke?

“Zuoshanke values you even more than his second disciple, the Blaze Emperor,” the Ancestor slowly said. “He specifically requested me to open the vital grounds of my Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance to you… You don’t need to thank me. For every gain, there must be a corresponding price; everything is equivalent. Your teacher, Zuoshanke, has already paid a sufficient price.”

Luo Feng fully understood; everything was indeed orchestrated by Zuoshanke.

“You walk the path of the Beast God lineage. And throughout the vast universe, I am the most skilled at nurturing super powerhouses of the Beast God lineage,” the Ancestor slowly said. “As for the Ancestral God Sect… their methods for cultivating the Beast God lineage are merely superficial. We, the Starry Sky Behemoths, are the true descendants of the Beast God.”

“What?!” Luo Feng was shocked. Descendants?

In truth, the Golden Horn Behemoth’s ability to easily fuse so many Xueluo Crystals back then, and even achieve 100% compatibility and effectiveness with them after cultivating the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, had long puzzled Luo Feng. Now, hearing the Ancestor of the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance say this—that Starry Sky Behemoths are actually the descendants of the Beast God! Heavens, what a profound secret! This was absolutely one of the universe’s greatest secrets.

“The most important treasure grounds of my Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance will be opened to you. Even if I don’t say it, you will understand,” the Ancestor overlooked Luo Feng. “However, don’t think it will be simple. Your teacher has set requirements for you. If you fail to meet them, you will be trapped there forever!”

Luo Feng blinked. “Zuoshanke’s requirements are very high, even bordering on outrageous,” the Ancestor overlooked Luo Feng. “I believe it’s utterly impossible for you to meet your teacher’s demands, even if billions of years pass, you will not succeed.”

Luo Feng frowned. These words came from the Ancestor. Who was the Ancestor? A Universe Supreme Master! A Universe Supreme Master, knowing full well how many miracles Luo Feng had created, and that he had cultivated for less than 100,000 years, still dared to utter such words. Clearly, the requirements set by Zuoshanke were incredibly high.

“I even made a wager with him: if you succeed within 100,000 eras, I will bestow upon you a supreme treasure set most suitable for the Beast God lineage. If you fail, your teacher will lose a Peak Supreme Treasure to me,” the Ancestor overlooked Luo Feng. “I sense the fighting spirit and confidence in your eyes, and I know you are adept at creating miracles. But once you see your teacher’s requirements, you will understand… what despair truly means.”

“I even believe you will be trapped permanently.”

“Unless you self-destruct and abandon everything to leave, but if you self-destruct to leave, it will naturally count as a failure,” the Ancestor stated.

Luo Feng clenched his fists, enduring silently. Just you wait. Even if you are the Ancestor, a Universe Supreme Master! To dare say I won’t succeed within 100,000 eras… you underestimate me too much. But what kind of trial has Teacher Zuoshanke set for me, that the stakes of his wager with the Starry Sky Behemoth Ancestor are so high? The Starry Sky Behemoth Ancestor’s bet is a supreme treasure set, and Teacher Zuoshanke is wagering a Peak Supreme Treasure.

“Enter. I believe you will not succeed within 100,000 eras.” The Ancestor’s voice echoed through every inch of space, and the Black-Clad Luo Feng, who had been standing there, vanished into thin air.
