It's Luo Feng!

The black armor suspended in mid-air and the six flying curved blades, controlled by Luo Feng's divine power, turned and flew back towards him.

"An ordinary true treasure armor."

"Six ordinary true treasure weapons—they should be a set. Their value is equivalent to a single high-grade true treasure weapon." Luo Feng put away the true treasures, then summoned a world ring from afar. This was the world ring that had fallen directly to the ground after the Fan Guang Lord's demise. Luo Feng inspected it and found only dozens of valuable treasures and other miscellaneous items inside, their cumulative value likely not even matching a single ordinary true treasure.

Having killed the Fan Guang Lord and collected the spoils, Luo Feng's human divine body, despite the immense consumption from burning to unleash his most powerful ultimate technique, remained in peak condition thanks to the replenishment from his Youhai Clone.

"Whoosh!"

Luo Feng spread his wings and instantly transformed into a streak of light, flying away. His speed remained neither fast nor slow, maintaining sub-light speed flight.

The surroundings, however, were utterly silent, without any movement or trace.

No one could tell that a Cosmic Overlord had just perished here.

...

Within the vast territory controlled by the Northern Territory Alliance, in the starfield where the Ziye race resided, on a dark red life planet, stood the divine temple of the 'Fan Guang Lord'.

The divine temple wasn't large, yet it was considered one of the Ziye race's holy lands. The Ziye race had a total of six Cosmic Overlords—Cosmic Overlords were already the strongest beings in the Ziye race. Thus, the entire race was divided into six territories, managed and nurtured by these six Cosmic Overlords.

Some disciples and servants within the palace respectfully gazed at a figure in the distance—it was a clone that the Fan Guang Lord had left behind after departing for the Original Star.

The clone's strength was extremely weak.

Yet, it was still a manifestation of the Fan Guang Lord's consciousness, fully capable of guiding disciples and handling certain matters.

"I—" A look of terror appeared on the Fan Guang Lord's face.

*Bang!*

It directly annihilated and dispersed.

"Hm?"

"Lord!"

"Master!" The three disciples and several personal servants waiting in the distance were greatly alarmed, because the space around this planet was locked, preventing even the Fan Guang Lord from teleporting away. So how could this clone have suddenly vanished?

"Don't panic, Master must have encountered something extremely important that required his full attention, so he withdrew his consciousness and divine power. The clone naturally disappeared."

"First, let's check the tokens Master gave us."

"Check the tokens."

All three disciples immediately took out their tokens.

The tokens were items infused with the Fan Guang Lord's life imprint, like 'master-recognized treasures'. Once crushed, the Fan Guang Lord would naturally sense it and come to rescue his disciples.

"The token has become ownerless!" A sharp voice erupted from one of the disciples' throats, the simultaneous utterance from two heads adding a chilling note.

"Ownerless!"

"Mine has also become ownerless!"

The three Ziye disciples looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and panic. They knew exactly what this scene implied! A master-recognized item could become ownerless in two ways: one, the master personally retrieved their life imprint from it; two, the master was killed.

Since the Fan Guang Lord was not present, he couldn't possibly have retrieved the imprint. Therefore, the answer was undeniable—

The Fan Guang Lord had perished!!!

"Quick, quickly notify the other lords."

"Quick, immediately."

"Notify the race's high-ranking members."

The Ziye race had a total of six Cosmic Overlords. These six Cosmic Overlords supported the entire race. The demise of one... was equivalent to one of the race's pillars collapsing. This was a terrifying blow to the Ziye race.

In just a moment.

The three Ziye Cosmic Overlords who hadn't gone to the Original Star arrived. They first meticulously questioned the Fan Guang Lord's disciples, then dismissed the disciples and servants.

Inside the hall.

The three purple crystalline two-headed beings stood, the atmosphere oppressive.

"Fan Guang has perished!"

"Who could kill Fan Guang, and he didn't even have time to call for help! Fan Guang possessed an ordinary true treasure armor, and his offensive methods were even stronger. To kill him... could it be a Cosmic Master who acted?"

"Even if it wasn't a Cosmic Master, it must have been one of the most heaven-defying Cosmic Overlords."

The three Cosmic Overlords fell silent.

Indeed.

Fan Guang Lord, Jiufeng Venerable, Peifeng Venerable, Qixue Palace Master, and others all belonged to the category of normal Cosmic Overlords. However, there were also some heaven-defying ones, such as 'Cosmic Overlord-level' special lifeforms with life gene levels of 8000x or 9000x. Their divine power was a hundred times purer than that of ordinary Cosmic Overlords! Even with the same attack, their might would be a hundred times stronger!

Furthermore, these heaven-defying Cosmic Overlords would also acquire stronger true treasures... Their combat power was indeed extremely formidable, and their divine bodies were generally vast. Even if they encountered a Cosmic Master... they could endure for a long time.

"Entering the Original Star carries the risk of being killed. Let's not dwell on it... The being capable of killing Fan Guang in such a manner is simply not someone our Ziye race can afford to provoke."

"Indeed."

The three Cosmic Overlords all nodded.

"We must apply to the Northern Territory Alliance to have Fan Guang resurrected."

"Fan Guang is a Cosmic Overlord. To resurrect him, only the Grand Alliance Master can do it personally... Everyone knows the Grand Alliance Master's temperament. We'll probably have to wait until he's in a good mood before he'll resurrect Fan Guang."

Elementary Venerables, Intermediate Venerables, High-level Venerables... after perishing, are generally resurrected not too long after, at most a delay of a thousand or ten thousand years.

But for Cosmic Overlords, it was hard to say.

Because throughout the entire Northern Territory Alliance, only the 'Grand Alliance Master' could resurrect a Cosmic Overlord! No other Cosmic Master could do it. If the Grand Alliance Master were to be delayed by something for hundreds of millions of years... no one would dare to complain.

"Never mind that, let's apply to the Alliance and wait patiently."

"Indeed, once Fan Guang is resurrected, we'll know exactly how he perished."

...

The Original Star was the closest place to the cosmic origin, and flying in its skies... felt truly wonderful.

Luo Feng flew with a smile, recalling the previous battle.

"This was my first time fighting with full power, and the might was actually this great." Luo Feng was extremely satisfied with the power. "As expected of a Cosmic Master ultimate secret technique, the divine power consumed by this move is extremely exaggerated. If not for my Youhai Clone constantly replenishing it, that single move would probably have caused me to lose half of my divine body."

Back in the Beast God World, when Luo Feng fought with the Ancestor... he hadn't burned his divine body. As an undying body, fighting without burning wouldn't consume divine power.

But in the life-and-death battle just now, Luo Feng had burned his divine body!

Like Qixue Palace Master and Bajian Venerable, unleashing their ultimate techniques would cause significant divine body depletion. However, Luo Feng's Cosmic Master ultimate secret technique, 'Golden Light', was on a much higher level than Qixue Palace Master's and Bajian Venerable's ultimate skills! Luo Feng didn't even deliberately consume energy; the Golden Light absorbed more than half of Luo Feng's divine power! Of course, the Youhai Clone quickly replenished it.

The consumption was massive!

And its might was ridiculously powerful!

"Too strong."

"I could feel his ordinary true treasure armor was incredibly fragile under my blade. If my attack were to be one level stronger, I fear this true treasure could have been destroyed," Luo Feng mused.

A life gene level of 9800x and a divine power amplification of 100x... made Luo Feng's divine body absolutely no weaker than a normal Cosmic Overlord's! Even unique special lifeforms, like the World Tree and Cold Whale in the Ancestral God Mystery Realm, who, despite being Cosmic Overlords, possessed combat power comparable to Cosmic Masters... their divine power was only two levels purer than Luo Feng's!

Yet, Luo Feng's Cosmic Master ultimate secret technique was two levels stronger than theirs!

The advantage in secret techniques compensated for the deficiency in divine power.

In terms of combat power!

Once Luo Feng unleashed his Cosmic Master ultimate secret technique, he was powerful enough to rival a heaven-defying special lifeform Cosmic Overlord!

"His true treasure armor was too poor, only weakening half the might, so his divine body naturally annihilated."

"If he had possessed a high-grade true treasure armor, I estimate I could only have severely wounded him. To kill him would have required several more moves," Luo Feng mused. This showed the importance of armor. With 'Jie Jia' on, even few Cosmic Masters' attacks could reach Jie Jia's 'limit value'.

"One hundred and eighty million years of cultivation, the achievements are indeed significant."

Luo Feng nodded in satisfaction.

His profound mastery of secret pattern diagrams made his current cultivation of space law feel incredibly easy. Although he had only left the Beast God World a few days ago, Luo Feng had already comprehended the last profound mystery of space law, 'Strangulation'. Now, he only needed to unify 'Teleportation', 'Lockdown', and 'Strangulation' to step into the Cosmic Venerable stage.

However, this final hurdle slightly affected Luo Feng.

Just like some powerhouses with extremely high attainments in space law who would be affected by the final hurdle of the gold law... Luo Feng's current achievements were extremely high, but he was also slightly affected by this hurdle. As Sitting Mountain Guest had said, he could break through at any time, and at the slowest, he would enter the Cosmic Venerable stage within a thousand years.

"Once I become a Cosmic Venerable, my divine body will be comparable to heaven-defying special lifeforms like the World Tree and Cold Whale. And my secret techniques will be even more powerful. At that time, I might truly be able to contend with Cosmic Masters," Luo Feng secretly anticipated. "Moreover, I'll be able to utilize the Star Tower even more effectively then."

Luo Feng smiled and continued flying.

He was waiting...

Waiting for the next alien powerhouse, like the Fan Guang Lord, to come and kill him.

"Come on, I'm a mobile treasure vault," Luo Feng smiled.

...

"Look, look, that's Human Luo Feng!!!" In a hollow amidst the wilderness hills, three High-level Cosmic Venerables from the Thorn Ring Alliance were hidden, silently waiting for energy fluctuations. However, 'Ji Qi Venerable' among them looked up in shock at the sky, and immediately transmitted telepathically with urgency.

"Luo Feng, what Luo... are you talking about that human kid who struck it rich?" The other two Cosmic Venerables abruptly looked up.

All three carefully observed, identifying him.

Silver armor and silver wings, black-haired human...

"It's him, Human Luo Feng."

"It is him. He has at least six true treasures on him! And he definitely has a soul-type true treasure, possibly even a flying palace-type true treasure."

"He actually dares to come to the Original Star? Does this peerless genius think he's invincible? How arrogant..."

"Arrogance is good. He's simply a human-shaped mobile treasure vault."

"Be careful... this Human Luo Feng might have some backing."

"What backing? Even if a Cosmic Overlord is secretly protecting him in a world ring, so what!"

The surrounding weeds concealed their figures. The three of them watched the figure flying across the sky, their hearts burning with eagerness...

"We must succeed. Our strength is far greater than his, but if he escapes and flies at near-light speed, we won't be able to catch him. I have a plan to ensure he can't escape," the shortest, stoutest four-hoofed alien transmitted telepathically. The other two Cosmic Venerables listened intently.
