Disguise

Luo Feng leaned back, propping his legs on the desk. With his eyes closed, he continuously recalled and meticulously pondered the detailed information he had previously seen regarding Universe Masters and Universe Supremes.

“Universe Masters vary in strength, and unless the power gap is immense, it’s generally very difficult to kill one another.”

“Universe Supremes are slightly stronger than even the most powerful Universe Masters. However, their numbers are extremely rare; for instance, our human race has only one Giant Axe Creator! Moreover, if they kill a Universe Master, they will face punishment from the universe…”

“These two factors lead to one outcome—Universe Masters rarely perish!”

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

Universe Masters rarely perish… This doesn't mean their strength makes them hard to kill; that’s only one aspect. Another is that some super-entities are unwilling to pay a huge price to act. Unless there are sufficient treasures to entice them.

For example, the struggle for precious supreme treasures on Original Star can lead to the demise of Universe Masters.

“What should I do?”

“The Mechanical Race, Demon Race, and Bug Race have already dispatched a Universe Supreme to deal with me. What should I do?” Luo Feng pondered. Anyone who wasn't an idiot could guess that the Xuzhen Demon God was almost certainly invited by the Bug Race, Demon Race, and Mechanical Race.

“I escaped once, thanks to Ancestral God blocking them for me.”

“Ancestral God helped me once, but they can’t be my bodyguard forever. What should I do next time? Although the probability of a Universe Supreme acting again is low, it’s hard to say if the three desperate races will pay any price to try again. Next time, it might be even more frantic and assured.” Luo Feng frowned in thought.

It was very troublesome.

He possessed the supreme treasure Star Tower, so he wasn't afraid of Universe Supremes at all! But that was precisely the problem!

Suppose a Universe Supreme attacked, and Luo Feng actually blocked it. A peak Universe Overlord blocking a Universe Supreme? That would be an enormous joke! Anyone not utterly foolish would guess… this peak Universe Overlord must possess an extraordinary protective supreme treasure, and one that defies all logic, otherwise how could he survive under a Universe Supreme’s attack?

“As long as a Universe Supreme comes to kill me, if Ancestral God doesn’t intervene in time, I’ll be exposed.” Luo Feng mused with a frown.

He would absolutely not resign himself to death.

He would definitely resist!

Surviving under a Universe Supreme… everyone would guess he had a treasure, especially since the disappearance of the supreme treasure ‘Star Tower’ caused a huge stir in the universe recently. At this critical moment, if Luo Feng could emerge unscathed from a Universe Supreme’s attack, many entities would likely suspect him.

“At that point, it would truly be troublesome.”

“There are probably quite a few Universe Supremes eyeing the Star Tower. Then, the Bug Race, Demon Race, and Mechanical Race wouldn’t even need to invite them; those Universe Supremes would all come after me. Am I supposed to live inside the Star Tower every day?” Luo Feng pondered, annoyed.

…

In the study, Luo Feng closed his eyes, deep in thought.

“Two solutions.”

“First, hide in the Primal Universe until I cultivate to become a Universe Master. However, breaking through from Universe Knight to Universe Master is an extremely difficult hurdle. It might take another 180 million years, and I still might not succeed. Moreover, the longer it drags on, the more anxious and enraged the three races will become… they might even target my Luo Clan.”

Battles between powerful individuals rarely involve their families. But that only applies within the human race! Internal feuds and conflicts among human powerhouses rarely affect their families. As for inter-racial slaughter?

Alien races are incredibly ruthless in their killings.

The ultimate goal is to completely destroy and eradicate the opposing race! They will stop at nothing. Currently, with the Youhai Clone, who is stronger than an average peak Universe Overlord, stationed on Earth, coupled with Earth itself being a vital location with extremely strict defenses, there won't be any problems unless a Universe Master is dispatched…

Otherwise, there won't be any issues.

“Second, make them believe I am a Universe Master!” Luo Feng thought to himself.

“Why are they so eager to kill me? It’s because they fear I’ll become a Universe Master… Once they believe I am a Universe Master, they will regret it, thinking they acted too slowly and that I’ve already broken through.” Luo Feng mused. “And even if they invite a Universe Supreme again, a Universe Supreme won’t easily agree to attack a Universe Master, as the universe’s punishment is severe.”

Two plans.

Luo Feng quickly dismissed the first plan. Who knew how long it would take to cultivate into a Universe Master? Many Universe Knights get stuck at the Universe Overlord stage for endless eons! Moreover, he hadn't even fully mastered the ‘Fifth Stage of the Beast God Path,’ and fully comprehending the ‘Seventh Stage of the Beast God Path’ would take an extremely long time.

Furthermore, judging by Zuo Shan Ke’s requirements for him, Zuo Shan Ke clearly hoped he would grow through continuous battles, not by hiding away in some corner to cultivate.

Hiding in a safe place to cultivate would likely mean never becoming a Universe Master!

“Then, there’s only the second plan.”

“Disguise myself as a Universe Master.”

“Hmm.”

“My divine body should be very close to a Universe Master’s divine body, almost identical.” Luo Feng mused. According to the information he had gathered, breaking through from Universe Knight to Universe Master causes the divine body to skyrocket to a hundred times its previous strength. This means… even the weakest Universe Master’s divine body strength is equivalent to a Universe Knight with ‘10,000 times life gene level’!

“Divine body is comparable.”

“Will and consciousness are also at the Universe Master level!”

“Secret techniques too!”

Luo Feng nodded inwardly, “I have the peak Universe Master secret technique ‘Golden Mountain’ and the ultimate Universe Master secret technique ‘Golden Light.’ If I frequently use these two secret techniques and display full Universe Master combat power… then who would dare say I’m not a Universe Master?”

“The only weakness is my inability to control space-time.”

Controlling space-time allows one to suppress opponents through spatial-temporal manipulation and also to reverse space-time to revive other Universe Knights, Immortals, and so on!

“Battles at the Universe Master level possess heaven-defying power… the spatial-temporal restraints generated by controlling a region of space-time simply can’t affect battles at that level. Controlling a region of space-time merely suppresses weaker individuals.” Luo Feng thought. “And no one is forcing me to reverse space-time to revive anyone.”

“Good!”

After careful consideration, Luo Feng nodded inwardly.

It was completely feasible… the most convincing aspect was the secret techniques. If he used the two Universe Master-level secret techniques, ‘Golden Mountain’ and ‘Golden Light,’ and more super-entities became aware of it, they would quickly determine these were Universe Master-level secret techniques. And the Secret Pattern Flow is clearly a secret!

One must become a Universe Master to create an ultimate Universe Master secret technique! In the absence of the ‘Secret Pattern Flow’ being revealed, this was common knowledge in the Primal Universe!

“It can definitely succeed.” Luo Feng nodded to himself.

“I must prove myself through battle.” Since Luo Feng decided to make the billions of races in the universe believe he was a Universe Master, he naturally had to prove it through battle!

The battle had to be convincing!

“Zuo Shan Ke told me to kill ten peak Universe Overlords or one Universe Master, and then he would refine a peak supreme treasure for me. Hmm, asking me to directly kill a Universe Master gives me no confidence at all. And I’ve never fought a Universe Master before, so the situation might get out of my control.”

“This battle must not have any mishaps.”

“It must be fought spectacularly! It must shock the billions of races in the universe, making them clearly believe I possess Universe Master strength! It must make the Bug Race, Demon Race, and Mechanical Race all believe… that I have already broken through, and now trying to eliminate me would be too costly and simply not worth it!” Luo Feng immediately stood up.

“Babata.” Luo Feng called out.

Babata, the virtual assistant’s auxiliary AI, immediately responded: “Master.”

“Gather all the information on the peak Universe Overlords of the Demon Race, Mechanical Race, and Bug Race, as well as some peak Universe Overlords from their respective alliances. I want to review them one by one and pick my targets.” Luo Feng said. He had decided his targets would be chosen from within the alliances of these three races.

“Yes!”

Whoosh! In just a moment—

“Collection complete. Here is the detailed information.” Babata said, “The data for each peak Universe Overlord is very extensive and detailed, including their growth history, numerous battle records, strength assessments, supreme treasures, and so on.”

Luo Feng nodded and instructed: “One by one.”

Immediately, Luo Feng immersed himself in carefully studying the detailed information of these peak Universe Overlords.

…

Just as Luo Feng was selecting his unfortunate prey, an email arrived from Chaos City Lord. The content was simple: “Come quickly!”

Seeing this email, Luo Feng immediately stopped selecting targets and headed straight to Chaos City Lord’s temple at the top of Thunder Island.

…

Amidst endless swirling currents, a round table, carved like jade, sat before the temple. Two figures were seated opposite each other: one was the golden-robed Chaos City Lord, and the other was an extremely burly giant with a dragon tail, dressed in ordinary loose battle robes. He sat there like a mountain, exuding an overbearing aura.

As soon as Luo Feng arrived and saw him, he immediately determined that the other person was also a Universe Master.

“Luo Feng, this is Long Xing Master.” Chaos City Lord said upon seeing Luo Feng.

“Teacher, Long Xing Master.” Luo Feng respectfully saluted.

“Luo Feng.” Chaos City Lord turned and said, “There is indeed a very important matter I need to discuss with you. According to our intelligence, something significant just happened in the core region of the Ancestral God Sect. All other islands of the Ancestral God Sect detected the supreme treasure ‘Five-Colored Aurora Lake’ momentarily disappearing before reappearing, yet none of the inheritors on Purple Thorn Island noticed this movement. Do you know what this indicates? It indicates that the space-time of Purple Thorn Island was controlled, and all the powerhouses, unknowingly, didn’t witness any of it.”

“A Universe Master, though capable of controlling a region of space-time, cannot make the Universe Knights on Purple Thorn Island completely blind and unaware.”

“Only a Universe Supreme!”

“A Universe Supreme concealed everything… and the Five-Colored Aurora Lake disappeared again. Nine times out of ten, a Universe Supreme must have intruded into the core region of the Ancestral God Sect.” Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng. “Was that Universe Supreme there to kill you?”
