Fan Nuo Fortress Lord and Luo Feng

"What chaotic currents?" the Fog Fiend Venerable asked, puzzled. The Thorn Ring Alliance didn't have its own universe, so the Fog Fiend Venerable truly didn't know what chaotic currents were. Fan Nuo Fortress Lord glanced at the Fog Fiend Venerable. "That is the energy from the universe's genesis, the mother source of all energy we know!" "The mother source of all energy?" The Fog Fiend Venerable was shocked. "You don't need to ask further," Fan Nuo Fortress Lord said, frowning deeply. "How did you encounter chaotic currents on the Original Star? Describe the scene to me in detail." As a top-tier Cosmic Overlord, Fan Nuo Fortress Lord held an extremely high status and knew more about the secrets of the vast universe. Naturally, he knew that chaotic currents shouldn't appear on the Original Star. "It was like this," the Fog Fiend Venerable quickly explained. "I was watching the Golden Horned Beast and Tianyang Venerable battle from a distance when suddenly the world grew dim, as if I had fallen into another realm. Dark currents permeated the surroundings. I immediately knew I must have been caught in some dangerous move by an enemy. I immediately begged for mercy, hoping that powerful being would spare me, but it was useless... Then—those dark currents instantly split into two parts, like giant millstones, trapping me in the center. Under the dark current millstones... my divine body rapidly depleted, forcing me to choose self-detonation." Fan Nuo Fortress Lord listened, nodding slightly, but was secretly astonished. It truly was chaotic currents; it must be a special supreme treasure. According to what Fan Nuo Fortress Lord knew... some exceptionally powerful supreme treasures, or the most terrifying existences among Universe Masters, could create super-powerful secret techniques, and these secret techniques could generate chaotic currents. "That was merely a Golden Horned Beast and a Tianyang Venerable; a Universe Master wouldn't be involved. If there truly was a Universe Master, killing this Fog Fiend Venerable would have been even easier, with no need to use such heaven-defying secret techniques," Fan Nuo Fortress Lord mused. "Then there's only one possibility... it must be a special supreme treasure." Although Fan Nuo Fortress Lord had an extremely broad vision, he didn't know that beings with perfect life gene levels could obtain the strongest innate secret techniques. That was already considered a very high-level secret in the universe. Thus, he didn't guess it was an innate secret technique! "What kind of domain did that Golden Horned Beast's domain-type supreme treasure manifest?" Fan Nuo Fortress Lord stared at the Fog Fiend Venerable. Although there were many domain-type supreme treasures in the universe, each one manifested a different domain with its own unique characteristics. From the domain-type supreme treasure, he should be able to deduce some background information about that Golden Horned Beast, especially since Fan Nuo Fortress Lord currently knew nothing about it. "Domain?" The Fog Fiend Venerable recalled, saying, "Golden rivers, vast and mighty golden rivers. Oh, and there were several strange beasts! When I saw the two supreme treasure domains clash, those strange beasts and Tianyang Venerable's domain's giant rolling stones continuously impacted. As for how many strange beasts there were, I couldn't see clearly from such a distance." "Golden rivers? Strange beasts?" Fan Nuo Fortress Lord frowned, then his eyes lit up. "Human Luo Feng!" "Human Luo Feng?" The Fog Fiend Venerable was puzzled. "You may withdraw for now," Fan Nuo Fortress Lord commanded. The Fog Fiend Venerable was slightly taken aback, secretly feeling a bit unwilling. "Hm?" Fan Nuo Fortress Lord looked at him indifferently. The Fog Fiend Venerable could only grit his teeth and transform into a streak of light, flying away. In his heart, he cursed, "That despicable Fan Nuo Fortress Lord! I followed your orders to track Tianyang Venerable, and it directly led to my demise! Although I've been resurrected by reversing time and space, all my valuable treasures are gone, every single one. This time, I suffered a huge loss; I'm truly unlucky." Fan Nuo Fortress Lord cast an indifferent glance at the distant Fog Fiend Venerable. "Hmph... I bore the cost of resurrecting you by reversing time and space, and you still want benefits?" "Hmm." Fan Nuo Fortress Lord stood in the void, deep in thought. "Human Luo Feng? That domain supreme treasure is the Nine Xia River of the human race! And the Nine Xia River is in Human Luo Feng's hands," Fan Nuo Fortress Lord mused. The Nine Xia River, a supreme treasure, originally didn't belong to the human race. After some battles, treasures changed hands, and it eventually fell into the possession of the human race. Luo Feng's reputation had grown significantly recently; many beings from various cosmic races had perished because of him. Fan Nuo Fortress Lord had naturally received intelligence early on, knowing that Luo Feng possessed the Nine Xia River! As for the Fog Fiend Venerable, due to his presence on the Original Star and his ordinary status, he only knew that many alien Venerables had perished while greedily pursuing Luo Feng, but he was completely ignorant of other detailed information, such as the 'Nine Xia River'. "Earlier, the Fog Fiend Venerable mentioned the Golden Horned Beast and Tianyang Venerable battling, but then the Nine Xia River suddenly appeared. It seems... Human Luo Feng's helper is that Golden Horned Beast," Fan Nuo Fortress Lord secretly nodded. "To achieve such battle prowess, slaying numerous alien Venerables and even Overlords, it's no wonder Tianyang Venerable fled." "Moreover, the supreme treasure that ultimately formed the 'chaotic currents' should belong to that Golden Horned Beast. If it were Tianyang Venerable, he wouldn't have needed to flee from me back then." "The Fog Fiend Venerable was killed even from a distance. Tianyang Venerable must have perished. So... the treasures should be with that Golden Horned Beast." "Luo Feng? Golden Horned Beast?" Fan Nuo Fortress Lord made a decision after a brief contemplation. "I'll go and meet Human Luo Feng," Fan Nuo Fortress Lord immediately transformed into a streak of light and swiftly vanished from this void. ... Original Star. Luo Feng, clad in silver armor and silver wings, flew high in the sky, carrying the Moon-Slaying Blade on his back. When alien Venerables spotted Luo Feng from afar, they immediately dodged him. "It's Luo Feng." "Quickly avoid him." "Luo Feng's wings used to be a pair, how did they become four?" "Who knows? Did his supreme treasure transform? Or did he switch supreme treasures?" Luo Feng, like other top-tier Cosmic Overlords, caused alien Venerables and even Cosmic Overlords to retreat. Of course, on planets where a 'Universe Master' had descended, Luo Feng would also avoid them. Even if he truly needed to enter such a planet, he would stay far away from the Universe Master's location, maintaining a distance of over ten billion kilometers. ... "Is this what it feels like to be powerful?" Luo Feng stood atop a majestic mountain peak, overlooking the vast land. "On the so-called crisis-ridden Original Star, I can walk unimpeded. As long as I avoid the locations where Universe Masters have descended, no one dares to provoke me." The Original Star was dangerous, but that was relative. Extremely dangerous for Cosmic Venerables! For Cosmic Overlords, the danger was much less. Otherwise, Guiyi Venerable wouldn't have been so confident in borrowing a soul-type supreme treasure from Luo Feng back then. Generally, by avoiding top-tier Cosmic Overlords and Universe Masters, there would be no danger. Top-tier Cosmic Overlords were even safer. Unless they actively provoked a Universe Master! For instance, when a certain treasure opened, top-tier Cosmic Overlords and Universe Masters would enter to contend for it... in such situations, there was naturally a possibility of perishing. Otherwise, as long as they continuously avoided Universe Masters, they could absolutely walk unimpeded. "Hm?" Luo Feng suddenly turned his head to look in one direction. "The powerful beings of various races on the Original Star usually avoid me from afar. This alien actually dares to come within ten million kilometers of me?" A streak of emerald green light flew directly towards Luo Feng in the distance. "What's that?" Luo Feng carefully distinguished. It was a giant man whose entire body flowed with vibrant green life energy. Through his racial characteristics, appearance, and aura... "It's Fan Nuo Fortress Lord of the Thorn Ring Alliance." Luo Feng instantly recognized him, then secretly chuckled. No wonder he wasn't afraid; it turned out to be the top-tier Cosmic Overlord, 'Fan Nuo Fortress Lord'. "Human Luo Feng!" A powerful voice echoed. "Fan Nuo Fortress Lord," Luo Feng said, looking from the mountain peak. A moment later. Fan Nuo Fortress Lord descended not far from Luo Feng, looking at him with a smile. "I've long heard the name Human Luo Feng. This is our first meeting, isn't it?" "I suppose it's only because I ventured into the Original Star this time that I caught your attention, Fan Nuo Fortress Lord," Luo Feng said with a smile. "And my strong reputation, which even makes many alien Venerables avoid me, isn't entirely due to my own strength. It's not like your own power, Fan Nuo Fortress Lord, which is enough to deter all sides." Since all races believed he had a helper, he might as well let them believe it. Anyway, no one would believe him if he denied it. "Your strength is also quite good; there's great hope for you to become a Cosmic Overlord at least in the future," Fan Nuo Fortress Lord said, looking at Luo Feng. "Seeing you, I actually have something I'd like to ask for your help with." "Help?" Luo Feng said. "Please tell me." Fan Nuo Fortress Lord asking him for help? "I need to refine a supreme treasure and have collected many materials," Fan Nuo Fortress Lord said, looking at Luo Feng. "However, I'm missing crucial precious metals. Other Cosmic Venerables see me and walk around me, making it impossible for me to even speak to them." Luo Feng smiled. Indeed, if he wanted to talk to an alien, they would have already avoided him from tens of millions of kilometers away. "I wonder what metals you possess, Luo Feng? If you have what I need, I am willing to exchange for them at a high price," Fan Nuo Fortress Lord said with a smile. "Metals?" Luo Feng asked, puzzled. "Doesn't the Thorn Ring Alliance have them?" "We truly don't," Fan Nuo Fortress Lord said helplessly. "There are countless types of precious metals in the universe. The ones I need... we used to have them, but they've all been traded away now." Luo Feng nodded. "I do have some materials, but I'm afraid they might not be what you're looking for, Fan Nuo Fortress Lord," Luo Feng said. After killing Tianyang Venerable and returning to his God Kingdom, Luo Feng had placed some supreme treasures, valuable treasures, and even some materials he couldn't identify within his God Kingdom. After all, if he couldn't even recognize them, they were clearly quite valuable. The items Luo Feng carried with him were all recognizable, and he was clear about their value. "Perhaps you do," Fan Nuo Fortress Lord chuckled. "May I take a look?" "Alright." With a wave of Luo Feng's hand, a vast array of metals instantly floated before him, densely packed, numbering in the millions. This made Fan Nuo Fortress Lord's eyes light up. He immediately scrutinized them, but after only a moment, his gaze dimmed slightly, and he shook his head with a smile. "There truly aren't any." "How could I possibly have metals that even the Thorn Ring Alliance is short on?" Luo Feng said with a smile, putting them away. Fan Nuo Fortress Lord hesitated. "Speak your mind if there's anything else," Luo Feng said with a slight smile. Fan Nuo Fortress Lord quickly said, "I didn't intend to bring it up, but this metal is very important to me. All cosmic races probably know that you, Luo Feng, have a top-tier Cosmic Overlord as a helper. I believe he would carry many precious metals. I wonder... could you let me take a look? If there are any, I will certainly exchange them with treasures, ensuring your friend doesn't suffer any loss."
