Chapter 1069

Named 'Bei Yan'

Luo Feng's expression immediately showed anticipation. The Ancestor had previously told him that the Ancestor's wager was a treasure set, while Zuo Shan Ke's wager was a peak treasure. If the Ancestor lost... then the Ancestor would bestow this treasure set upon him. This was undoubtedly a grand opportunity. Since it could be used as a wager, it was clear that the treasure set was comparable in value to a peak treasure. Jie Jia, for instance, was a peak treasure! Jianhe Luo, a top-tier domain-type treasure with extremely powerful offensive capabilities, was comparable to 'Jie Jia'. However, its mere appearance... always caused a huge stir when it emerged in separate pieces. Even the Blaze Emperor was very reluctant to give Jie Jia to Luo Feng back then... All of this indicated that treasures of the 'Jie Jia' and 'Jianhe Luo' caliber were extremely precious, enough to make the Blaze Emperor, Chaos City Lord, and others envious. Perhaps only universe supreme masters like the Ancestor and Zuo Shan Ke possessed the audacity to wager such items! "You are the Ancestor of the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance, one of the nine super forces in the universe; you wouldn't be stingy, would you?" Zuo Shan Ke teased, "I'm waiting for your treasure set." The Ancestor glanced at Zuo Shan Ke. His heart ached. Even an existence like the Ancestor felt a pang of heartache. At the time, he had been full of confidence, intending to win Zuo Shan Ke's peak treasure, but unexpectedly, he had lost in the end. "A loss is a loss," the Ancestor said. "I can afford to lose this treasure set. According to our agreement, I should bestow this treasure set upon Luo Feng, correct?" "Indeed," Zuo Shan Ke nodded with a smile. "Yes, bestow it upon my disciple." The Ancestor turned to look at Luo Feng: "Luo Feng." "Ancestor," Luo Feng said respectfully. He didn't believe that defeating the Ancestor once was anything to be proud of. After all, it was merely a 'wager'. With the Ancestor's true capabilities... just the ability to 'speak and it is done' could render Luo Feng utterly helpless. If he were willing to pay the price, he could even kill Universe Masters. "Look." The Ancestor pointed towards the sky in the distance, where a black beastly silhouette suddenly appeared. "Hmm?" Luo Feng looked closely. It was an entirely black beast with powerful hooves, sharp fangs pointing skyward, and a single horn on its head, all complementing each other... The layers of scales on its body seemed to possess endless magical power, captivating Luo Feng with a single glance. It was beautiful to a shocking degree. The black beast, about a hundred meters long, landed directly in front of Luo Feng. Only then did Luo Feng realize with astonishment... it was an inanimate object, not a living being. "This is the treasure set, which I've named 'Beast God Armor'," the Ancestor said, walking over and stroking the leg of the massive beastly silhouette. "Hahaha..." Zuo Shan Ke, however, watched with delight and burst into laughter. The Ancestor shot him a glance, then turned to Luo Feng: "Your teacher's smugness is justified. Back then, for this treasure set... several factions were embroiled in battle. Your teacher was quite cunning; he launched a sneak attack and immediately fled. I, on the other hand, paid a considerable price to defeat E'zhou before finally acquiring this treasure set." Luo Feng listened, feeling a surge of excitement... The treasure's origin was extraordinary. It seemed to have been through a battle between universe supreme masters. "This treasure set is composed of 526 treasures in total, divided into 521 ordinary treasures, 4 high-grade treasures, and 1 top-tier treasure," the Ancestor explained. "Things like the fangs and the scales on its body can be completely detached and used individually! Only when combined do they truly become one, unleashing immense power." Luo Feng was stunned. A treasure set composed of 526 treasures? It was said that the Chaos City Lord's Thousand Treasures River was made of a thousand treasures, yet Luo Feng's set was no less impressive, and among its 526 treasures, there was even one top-tier treasure. "When disassembled, this single horn is a top-tier treasure. But once combined with the power of hundreds of treasures... its might can surge dramatically," the Ancestor sighed. "Wearing this treasure set on one's divine body allows every part of the divine body to be used for attack. It is absolutely most suitable for those who cultivate the Path of the Beast God and become Universe Masters." "I named it 'Beast God Armor', and I originally intended to bestow it upon a certain Universe Master in my Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance whom I highly favored," the Ancestor said, looking at Luo Feng. "Now, it is yours." Luo Feng felt his heart race. Beast God Armor! "Thank you, Ancestor," Luo Feng said respectfully. The Ancestor smiled and nodded. With a wave of his hand, the black beastly silhouette flew directly towards Luo Feng. A Golden Horn Behemoth appeared on Luo Feng's shoulder. At this moment, the Golden Horn Behemoth had already temporarily put down Jie Jia, Shi Wu Wings, Nine Xia River, and other items, placing them all inside its world ring. It then pounced forward, its divine power rapidly coiling around the black beastly silhouette, and its life imprint quickly branded onto it. "Boom!" The black beastly silhouette instantly disintegrated, and hundreds of treasures, dark and dense, rapidly enveloped the Golden Horn Behemoth, completely merging into every part of its divine body. The original Golden Horn Behemoth instantly transformed into an entirely jet-black giant beast. Every scale on its divine body was like a blade, and even its fangs surged dramatically. The five sharp horns on its head... had now become six! The central horn was the longest, about half a meter in length! (At this moment, the Golden Horn Behemoth maintained a miniaturized divine body, one meter long). "It's magnificent," Luo Feng's consciousness cheered. Claws! Tail! Divine body! Horns! Everywhere was a treasure! It truly lived up to being a treasure set most suitable for the Path of the Beast God. Moreover, this 'Beast God Armor' also possessed defensive capabilities... though, because it was primarily an offensive treasure, its secondary 'defensive' power was somewhat weaker. It was roughly comparable to the level of an ordinary 'top-tier defensive armor treasure'. "Hmm? This Beast God Armor, its original name is 'Bei Yan'?" Luo Feng wondered inwardly. The moment his life imprint was branded, ancient information was transmitted from the Beast God Armor, revealing its name. "What a strange name." Many treasures had original names, such as 'Silver Dragon Phantom Ship' and 'Golden Shocking Roar King Armor'. However, users typically gave them their own names, like Ancient Ship Yinhe or Golden Armor. But the original name of this Beast God Armor was very peculiar, called 'Bei Yan'. "Regardless of its original name, this Beast God Armor is indeed most suitable for the Golden Horn Behemoth's clone." "What a thrill." "Roar~~~" The Golden Horn Behemoth, in its excitement, also let out a thrilled roar. The Ancestor nodded in satisfaction. "Luo Feng, come here," Zuo Shan Ke called out. Luo Feng obediently walked over. Zuo Shan Ke led Luo Feng directly to the side and immediately altered the surrounding cosmic operating rules. If the Ancestor had wanted to listen, he could certainly have forcefully suppressed it with the cosmic origin... but the Ancestor wouldn't go that far. Clearly, Zuo Shan Ke had some things he wanted to discuss with his disciple. "Teacher," Luo Feng said, walking beside Zuo Shan Ke. "To succeed in just 180 million years, that's good," Zuo Shan Ke nodded. "Stronger than your second senior brother." Luo Feng listened obediently. "The Star Chart I casually refined for you back then probably won't be of much help to you now," Zuo Shan Ke said. "But it's fine. Although you are only at Immortal Peak, your achievements in the secret technique diagram lineage are extremely high! With such a high-level foundation, if you then study the Path of Laws... you will break through to Universe Venerable in a very short time. Even if crossing the threshold to Universe Venerable affects you slightly, a thousand years will be more than enough." Luo Feng nodded. He was also very confident... studying the secret technique diagram lineage made Luo Feng feel how easy and shallow the Path of Laws had been back then! However, due to the wager... Luo Feng had deliberately refrained from studying it. "Once you step into Universe Venerable, although you can only initially use the Star Tower, you will at least be able to fully operate it," Zuo Shan Ke said. "By then, with the Star Tower... this Star Chart will be of no use." Luo Feng nodded, then couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, is the fifth black metal plate of the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Manual' still a trial?" The third black metal plate had sent him to the Ice Prison. The fourth black metal plate had trapped him in this Beast God World. "No," Zuo Shan Ke glanced at Luo Feng and chuckled, "If you could guess your teacher's methods, would I still be your teacher?" Luo Feng was taken aback. "As for trials, this Beast God World has provided you with enough. 180 million years... you were able to create an ultimate secret technique for a Universe Master! With the secret technique diagram lineage and the Path of Laws... mutually verifying each other, it's sufficient," Zuo Shan Ke said. "Then the fifth black metal plate?" Luo Feng truly wanted to get the fifth black metal plate immediately. "You'll know when the time comes," Zuo Shan Ke replied. Luo Feng felt quite helpless. "Keep working hard!" Zuo Shan Ke looked at Luo Feng with satisfaction. "Your current strength is already extremely formidable. When you can use the Star Tower, no one in the universe will be able to underestimate you... but your teacher hopes you become even stronger." "Yes," Luo Feng also looked forward to it. In these 180 million years, he had been completely reborn! He was no longer the Luo Feng from before, whose combat methods were weak, who could only rely on burning his divine body to wear down enemies, slowly exhausting them to death! Exhausting opponents to death could only be done in desperate situations, because in such places, one couldn't summon powerful individuals from their race. But in places like the Original Star and elsewhere, when truly encountering danger, one would always ask other powerful individuals for help. After all, every super-powerful individual was important. "Ancestor," Zuo Shan Ke turned and said, his voice directly propagating to reach the Ancestor in the distance. "Thank you for these years. He has now met my requirements, so I will take him away." "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, wait," the Ancestor's divine body flickered, and he was already beside them. Zuo Shan Ke looked at the Ancestor: "Something else?" "It has nothing to do with you. I have something to say to Luo Feng," the Ancestor said, looking at Luo Feng. "He is my disciple, how could it have nothing to do with me? Luo Feng, in my opinion, you should focus on staying with the human race—" Zuo Shan Ke started, then burst into laughter. "Luo Feng, since the Ancestor has something to say to you, go chat with him. I'll wait for you here, and then we'll return to the Original Universe together." "Yes, Teacher," Luo Feng replied. Indeed. It was time to return to the Original Universe! Zuo Shan Ke walked directly into the distance, while Luo Feng approached the Ancestor, first bowing respectfully: "Ancestor." "Do you have any thoughts of leaving the human race?" the Ancestor asked Luo Feng directly.
