My Heart is Serene

Inside the main hall of the floating palace complex, surrounded by endless flames that encircle three continents, within the Yan God Clan's Territory.

“Human Luo Feng possesses peak cosmic overlord strength? He killed Fan Guang Lord with a single blade strike? Impossible!!!” Blaze Emperor roared in fury, twisted, mad flames burning in his eyes. He was extremely proud to his core, always believing he was personally nurtured by Zuoshan Ke.

He looked down on his Eldest Senior Brother, who was originally a servant of their teacher, inferior to him in all aspects, be it aptitude or supreme treasures.

He had always yearned to stand shoulder to shoulder with his teacher, Zuoshan Ke, or even surpass him!

However, with Luo Feng's appearance, as the 'third disciple,' also nurtured by Teacher Zuoshan Ke with immense effort, and even more diligently than himself—for instance, preparing the ultimate supreme treasure, the Star Tower! How Blaze Emperor coveted that ultimate supreme treasure, but coveting was useless. He was especially wary of this third junior brother, feeling... this was his greatest threat.

“One hundred thousand years!”

“To reach peak cosmic overlord strength in just one hundred thousand years! How can it be so fast? How?!” Blaze Emperor growled, “It must be Teacher Zuoshan Ke, it must be Teacher Zuoshan Ke's arrangement. Luo Feng himself is utterly incapable of achieving all this! Favoritism, Teacher Zuoshan Ke is far too biased towards his third junior brother.”

“Giving him the ultimate supreme treasure!”

“And now helping him again, allowing a fellow who only became Undying two tens of thousands of years ago to reach peak cosmic overlord strength!”

Blaze Emperor's face was contorted in a ferocious grimace.

“Just watch.”

“Just watch! Teacher Zuoshan Ke, no matter how much more you help him, he will never catch up to me, he will always be trampled under my feet! I will definitely become stronger, even stronger than you!” Cracks appeared, twisting the space around Blaze Emperor. The pair of eyes beneath his single horn were terrifying and mad.

...

The news spread, shocking all forces across the cosmos. And almost on the same day, another piece of news circulated.

Zhong Zhan Venerable of the Bug Clan Alliance was resurrected by reversing time and space. Zhong Zhan Venerable possessed high-tier supreme treasure armor, yet was still killed by Luo Feng. Zhong Zhan Venerable even stated directly: “It was Luo Feng who caused my demise. At the time, I had high-tier supreme treasure armor and was confident in my extremely strong defense, but with just one blade strike... I lost most of my divine body! Two strikes annihilated me!”

This news was even more explosive!

A cosmic overlord wearing 'high-tier supreme treasure armor' was killed, and it only took two blade strikes. This was even more terrifying than killing Fan Guang Lord with a single strike!

“High-tier supreme treasure armor, even wearing high-tier supreme treasure armor, they fell? That was a cosmic overlord!”

“That's too exaggerated.”

“Absolutely peak cosmic overlord strength!”

“What a coincidence... The Northern Territory Alliance just released the news, and the Bug Clan Alliance also released this news.”

“It's extremely difficult to resurrect a cosmic overlord. Zhong Zhan Venerable certainly wasn't resurrected at first, but as soon as the news of Fan Guang Lord being killed by Luo Feng spread... the Bug Clan Alliance might have immediately begun the resurrection to verify the truth. They must have resurrected Zhong Zhan Venerable, who then unexpectedly revealed such explosive information.”

...

Two pieces of news, one after another, spread on the same day.

The first piece of news was Luo Feng killing Fan Guang Lord! The second was even more exaggerated: killing Zhong Zhan Venerable, who possessed high-tier supreme treasure armor!

These two pieces of news, one after the other, were like two storms... directly sweeping across the entire cosmos!

...

Within the Mechanical Race's own isolated universe.

Countless crystalline light rays connected planets and stars... The entire universe was like a giant net, with countless crystalline light rays linking everywhere.

“My children, that human youngster, who has only cultivated for one hundred thousand years, possesses such formidable strength? Able to kill a cosmic overlord wearing high-tier supreme treasure armor? Is this true?” A voice echoed throughout every corner of this universe.

“Father God! I have contacted the Thorn Ring Alliance, and this is indeed true.”

“I have also investigated, and it is indeed true. I have seen the memory footage of Zhong Zhan Venerable being killed.”

“Father God... Luo Feng cannot be allowed to live!”

“Father God!”

Voices came from every corner of the universe.

The Mechanical Race is a very peculiar race, because all its members are intelligent lifeforms, and deep within the core of their intelligence, at their very origin... lies the command to obey! Every member of the Mechanical Race holds immense reverence for the founder of their race... that greatest existence—the Universe Supreme Master, 'Father God'.

Under Father God's command, they would not resist in the slightest, even if ordered to their deaths.

This is the Mechanical Race... the incredibly unified Mechanical Race!

“He became Undying a very short time ago, possessing peak cosmic overlord strength after only two tens of thousands of years. If allowed to grow, he will surely become a threat to my Mechanical Race!” Father God's voice spread throughout this universe. “Children, issue the command: begin searching for all information on Luo Feng and eliminate him as soon as possible. He must be killed before he becomes a Universe Master!”

“Yes!”

“Yes, Father God!”

...

The Mechanical Race, Bug Clan, and Monster Race were all shaken, and the news reached their highest echelons, the 'Universe Supreme Masters'!

It must be known that the Human Race, Bug Clan, Monster Race, and Mechanical Race... are the four major races with adjacent territories, constantly warring and clashing. Over endless ages, they have accumulated untold hatred, and in this mutual slaughter, numerous powerful individuals have emerged! They inherently look down on the Prison Race and Crystal Race; they hate and yet respect their opponents.

Among these four adjacent peak races, if one race grows too powerful, the other three will subtly unite. There's no need for secret discussions; they naturally cooperate on certain matters.

If a heaven-defying, peerless genius is born, the other three sides will also secretly and quietly make their move.

Too much hatred has accumulated...

Absolutely no single side is allowed to become too strong! Of course, if a certain race suddenly declines, the other three would be delighted to see it, and would even kick them while they're down.

“His growth is too fast!”

“If allowed to grow, he will surely become another Chaos City Lord in the future. By then, even a Universe Supreme Master might find it difficult to kill him. He must be eliminated beforehand!”

“Eliminate him!”

“Eliminate him before he becomes a Universe Master!”

“Issue the command: all powerful individuals of my Monster Race Alliance on Original Star, pay attention to Luo Feng's whereabouts. Once found, report immediately!”

“Issue the command...”

The Mechanical Race, Bug Clan, and Monster Race all treated this as a top priority. They clearly understood the implications if a race gave birth to a super-existence. For example, like 'Jiuyou Master'; although he isn't a Universe Supreme Master, a single Jiuyou Master is enough to give peak races a headache.

It must be known that Luo Feng possesses a talent clone! In the future, even if one of his divine bodies perishes in battle, he can still resurrect!

A Universe Master with immense strength and a talent clone... that would absolutely be a nightmare causing immense headaches for hostile races, and of course, a solid pillar for their own race!

“He must be eliminated!”

...

Although the Northern Territory Alliance also wanted Luo Feng dead, from the perspective of the entire alliance, they were relatively relaxed. After all, the ones who should truly be anxious were the Mechanical Race, Monster Race, and Bug Clan! As for the Ancestral God Sect, Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance, Prison Race, Crystal Race... they were naturally happy to watch the show from the sidelines, observing the struggle between the four peak races.

“However, that human Luo Feng is truly formidable.” Although watching from the sidelines, all parties were amazed. “If he can survive this tribulation and become a Universe Master, then his momentum will truly be unstoppable, and it's likely no one will be able to do anything to him.”

...

The cosmic alien races were shaken by this, but the Hong Alliance and the Human Race itself experienced even greater tremors.

In the open-air bar within the inner city of Virtual Universe's Hong Alliance City.

The vast majority of Cosmic Venerables from the entire bustling Hong Alliance gathered here today. Normally, there would only be a few thousand Cosmic Venerables, but today the numbers were terrifyingly high; over ninety percent of the Human Race's thousands of Cosmic Venerables had arrived! Cosmic Venerables from other races within the Hong Alliance also came.

“Luo Feng is truly amazing.”

“How did he become so powerful?”

“His progress is too heaven-defying.”

“Even compared to that Blaze Emperor from your Human Race back then, Blaze Emperor's growth speed couldn't match his.”

A chorus of discussions erupted.

When strength is close, there's still jealousy, just like when Luo Feng first moved to the mountainside of Thunder Island, which caused dissatisfaction among many Cosmic Venerables. But when Luo Feng's strength reached a level that left them dumbfounded, able to kill even a cosmic overlord with a single blade strike... this kind of strength made the Cosmic Venerables here look up to him in complete awe!

“A miracle.”

“A legend!”

“This is a great miracle in the history of the Human Race. By the way, where is Zhenyan Venerable? He's Luo Feng's teacher.”

“Zhenyan fled long ago, even turning off his communicator. Probably too many Cosmic Venerables were looking for him. Haha...”

In the bar.

Ganwu Country Lord's laughter was also hearty as he chatted with other Cosmic Venerables about Luo Feng. Regarding Luo Feng's power... Ganwu Country Lord was a bit stunned, followed by joy. After all, Luo Feng was very close to him; he was Luo Feng's son's teacher!

“Luo Feng's son, he's your disciple, isn't he?”

“Haha, he is.”

“It's said Luo Feng has another son.”

...

In the God Kingdom, the Endless Abyssal Sea rippled, constantly expanding. Vast amounts of life were created and then merged into the Abyssal Sea, causing its continuous expansion.

Before the Divine Temple, bathed in golden light high in the sky, Luo Feng sat cross-legged, shaking his head with a smile. When he had killed some Cosmic Venerables and cosmic overlords, he hadn't concealed his identity, so he knew that once those powerful individuals were resurrected... the news would naturally become public. Luo Feng had long been prepared, but he hadn't expected it to reach such a frenzied level.

After communicating with his two teachers, Chaos City Lord and Zhenyan Venerable, and a few close friends, the deluge of communication requests made Luo Feng simply disconnect from the Virtual Universe.

“It's better to cultivate in peace.”

Luo Feng smiled faintly and closed his eyes.

Let the cosmos be shaken, let countless powerful individuals be astonished, let the friends of the Human Race be pleasantly surprised, and let the enemies be consumed by jealousy...

The outside world was incredibly noisy, yet within this God Kingdom, there was profound silence.

“Whoosh, whoosh~~~” Only the waters of the Endless Abyssal Sea rippled.

A tumultuous outside world!

A silent God Kingdom!

Luo Feng, all alone...

“Teleportation, strangulation, lockdown.” Luo Feng murmured, opening his eyes. Divine power surged, and countless threads of law were drawn forth by the divine power, forming three incomplete secret pattern diagrams in mid-air. Immediately, these three diagrams merged directly, combining perfectly... A truly flawless secret pattern diagram appeared.

This was a secret pattern diagram resembling the exotic beast from the seventh image of the “Jiuyu Chaos Stele.”

“Space Law, achieved.” Luo Feng revealed a faint smile.

“Boom!”

The boundless pressure of the cosmic origin laws directly descended upon the God Kingdom... The Endless Abyssal Sea began to boil...
