A New Path

Luo Feng glanced at the surviving Undying Gods, Demigods, and Legends in the grand hall, who were still in a daze, shocked, or terrified. He then turned and took a single step, instantly departing the Glorious Divine Temple.

Inside the grand hall of the Glorious Divine Temple, there were still two Undying Gods (not soul slaves), a group of Demigod guards, and a group of Legend attendants.

“By the Supreme God, how, how could this be…”

“He, he actually managed to kill the Glorious Main God even under the Supreme God’s protection.”

“Who exactly was that?”

A monstrous wave surged in the minds of these Legends, Demigods, and the two Undying Gods. The two Undying Gods had some understanding of the vast universe beyond the ‘Yuan Ao Secret Realm,’ so they were relatively composed and guessed that the enemy was likely a Universe Master from the vast cosmos. But for the Demigods and Legends, it was different.

They had always been indoctrinated with beliefs like ‘the Supreme God’s majesty is inviolable’ and ‘the Supreme God is invincible’…

“How, how…”

A new seed was planted in the hearts of these Legends (Domain Lords) and Demigods (Sector Lords). They had now discarded the idea of the Supreme God being invincible. They suddenly realized that the vast universe was not centered around their twelve continents; there was likely an even vaster world out there.

“If that enemy can rival the Supreme God, why can’t I?”

Once the seed was sown, there was hope for it to bear fruit.

Luo Feng stepped out of the Glorious Divine Temple. The surging waves of the Nine Xia River swirled around him. With the ‘Golden Kingdom’ providing augmentation, the relatively weak Nine Xia River was still able to scatter the endless flames.

“Yuan Ao Master.” Luo Feng gazed from afar at the towering figure engulfed in endless flames. The towering figure’s single eye, in the distance, glared furiously at Luo Feng. “State your name, don’t hide your identity. You are not from the Kaji Tribe!”

“Haha…”

Luo Feng laughed. Instantly, his originally red hair began to turn black, and the colors of his armor and wings reverted to their original hues.

He was now a silver-armored, silver-winged, black-haired man.

“You are?” Yuan Ao Master looked slightly puzzled.

“Luo Feng,” Luo Feng stated directly.

Yuan Ao Master’s single eye was filled with shock: “That peerless genius from the Human race has become a Universe Master? How long has it been? You, when did you become a Universe Master?” Yuan Ao Master did not belong to any super-force. Having quickly become a Universe Master during the birth of the universe, his strength had naturally grown immensely over countless years. He had no need to join any faction, existing as a lone wolf in the cosmos.

Because of his solitary nature, his intelligence wasn't always up-to-date.

“Just recently,” Luo Feng replied.

“Oh…” Yuan Ao Master pondered for a moment, a complex expression flashing in his single eye. After a brief pause, he said, “So it’s Galaxy Lord Luo Feng! I didn’t expect so much to have happened during my short period of slumber. You actually annihilated over 6,000 Universe Venerables from the three alliances in one fell swoop. You truly are ruthless.”

“Just average,” Luo Feng said with a faint smile. It was clear that Yuan Ao Master had just learned about the events on Original Star through some intelligence channels.

“Hmph.”

Yuan Ao Master roared, “Even if you are a Universe Master, even if you belong to the Human Alliance, you cannot be so presumptuous! The Yuan Ao Secret Realm, which I govern, is my territory. Your wanton slaughter here… is a provocation to me! However, since you are a Universe Master, I don’t wish to pursue this further. Hand over a high-tier supreme treasure as compensation, and then quickly leave my territory. Then this matter will be settled!”

It was difficult for Universe Masters to kill each other unless there was a significant disparity in strength.

Thus, most encounters ended in ‘negotiation’ or ‘enmity.’

“A high-tier supreme treasure?” Luo Feng shook his head gently.

“Galaxy Lord, do you think I’ll let you off just because you’re from the Human Alliance?” Yuan Ao Master roared.

“Sorry, this matter cannot be settled,” Luo Feng looked at Yuan Ao Master. “I am here on the orders of the Ancestral God Sect to eliminate you and your many powerful subordinates.”

Silence.

Yuan Ao Master’s single eye was filled with astonishment, followed by shock, fury, and boundless rage.

“You mean the Ancestral God Sect?” Yuan Ao Master roared. “The Ancestral God Sect sent you to kill me? Damnable, despicable… the detestable Ancestral God Sect! I, Yuan Ao, have roamed the universe alone, and even Universe Supreme Masters couldn’t hope to kill me. Do you think I fear the Ancestral God Sect? Come on, come on, I’m right here in the Yuan Ao Secret Realm, waiting. I’d like to see who can kill me, hahaha…”

Luo Feng raised an eyebrow.

Through the golden toad… Luo Feng could confirm that Yuan Ao Master himself indeed caused the golden toad’s eyes to turn red. Furthermore… Yuan Ao Master likely carried another target that would cause the golden toad’s eyes to turn red.

“Two targets, one is Yuan Ao Master himself. The other is carried by him. Is it a soul slave in his spatial ring? Or some strange item?” Luo Feng mused. Regardless, anything that caused the golden toad’s eyes to turn red was a target to be eliminated and annihilated.

Moreover, when he used the Golden Kingdom to envelop Mogo Continent and kill the Main God of Jue An, Luo Feng had already prepared for Yuan Ao Master.

By so brazenly descending upon Mogo Continent again, Luo Feng had been waiting for Yuan Ao Master. Indeed, Yuan Ao Master appeared, and everything was as he expected: Yuan Ao Master did cause the golden toad’s eyes to turn red.

The reason he mentioned the Ancestral God Sect was because Luo Feng knew very well… he couldn’t kill Yuan Ao Master.

“Yuan Ao Master is a special life form.”

“His divine body is over a million kilometers tall, and his divine power purity is even a tier higher than mine,” Luo Feng thought. “And from the birth of the universe until now, he has accumulated countless treasures. From what I know, he possesses multiple supreme treasures, such as a top-tier domain-type supreme treasure and a peak supreme treasure armor. To kill him, even Star River Master might not be able to do it!”

Earlier, when Yuan Ao Master said… even Universe Supreme Masters couldn’t hope to kill him, it wasn’t an exaggeration.

It was a fact!

Some heaven-defying beings like Star River Master, Chaos City Lord, Nine Nether Master, etc., were completely unafraid of Universe Supreme Masters! Although Yuan Ao Master’s combat power was slightly inferior to Star River Master, his enormous divine body allowed him to roam the universe freely, fearing no one.

Yuan Ao Master glared at Luo Feng: “Galaxy Lord, I don’t fear those scoundrels from the Ancestral God Sect at all. As for you… hmph, you’re an outer member of the Ancestral God Sect, aren’t you? I can’t be bothered to deal with you. If you’re smart, hand over a high-tier supreme treasure as compensation and get out of my territory. Otherwise… I’ll show you what I can do.”

“Oh, I am indeed very curious about your methods,” Luo Feng chuckled softly. “I’d very much like to spar with a Universe Master like you, who rose during the birth of the universe. What, do you plan to fight on Mogo Continent? I wouldn’t feel bad if the entire continent were destroyed.”

“Hmph,” Yuan Ao Master snorted coldly. “Since you’re courting death, then follow me. We’ll fight in the void of the Secret Realm.”

“Very well,” Luo Feng nodded.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The two, one after another, almost simultaneously flickered and vanished from Mogo Continent. The ‘Golden Kingdom’ and ‘Endless Flames’ that enveloped Mogo Continent also disappeared instantly.

Billions of lives of various races across Mogo Continent were utterly shocked and in an uproar. First, the hazy golden light and endless flames descended, and now they had all vanished… nothing like this had ever happened in the history of Mogo Continent.

***

In a void tens of light-years away from the twelve continents, the space was dim, with only sparse, misty cosmic energy.

Two figures, one after another, appeared in this void.

“You’re just a runner for the Ancestral God Sect. I originally didn’t want to make things difficult for you. You killed two Universe Venerables under my command and many Undying Gods, yet I couldn’t be bothered to pursue it, only asking you to hand over a high-tier supreme treasure as compensation and get out of my territory. I didn’t expect you to dare provoke me? Hmph, you little brat who’s only cultivated for a hundred thousand years, I’ll let you know the huge difference between Ban Fu Master, who specializes in illusions, and me.” The tall figure, with a single eye, looked at Luo Feng from afar.

Luo Feng stood in the void, a battle blade strapped to his back: “Is that so?”

Boom~~~”

Endless hazy golden light descended, instantly transforming the dim void into a Golden Kingdom. Its boundless power suppressed Yuan Ao Master, who let out a roar, and immediately, endless flames also appeared out of thin air. The power of the ‘Golden Kingdom’ was quite similar to that of the endless flames.

Luo Feng himself knew…

In reality, this move of the Shi Wu Wings was stronger! However, his divine power was a tier lower than Yuan Ao Master’s. That’s why the second tier of power of the incomplete supreme treasure ‘Shi Wu Wings’ was only on par with the endless flames.

“Other powerhouses can’t use two domain-type supreme treasures simultaneously because domains repel each other,” Luo Feng mused. “However, my Golden Kingdom controls space-time… so it can perfectly cooperate with domain-type supreme treasures! Hmm, the Nine Xia River itself is too weak. I need to get a powerful domain-type supreme treasure in the future.”

Luo Feng secretly looked forward to it.

With the Golden Kingdom’s power, which was even stronger than a ‘top-tier domain-type supreme treasure,’ if he acquired another top-tier domain-type supreme treasure… it might be comparable to a peak domain-type supreme treasure.

“Right, the Miniature Universe is another method.”

“Miniature Universe, Golden Kingdom, domain-type supreme treasure… these three don’t repel each other and can be used simultaneously.” Luo Feng suddenly discovered a path suitable for him. At his current stage, unless he broke through to Universe Master, it would be difficult to achieve explosive strength improvements in a short time.

However, the combination of Miniature Universe, Golden Kingdom, and domain-type supreme treasure… would form a powerful ultimate move unique to Luo Feng!

“Even Star River Master, who can use the strongest secret technique ‘Night’ similar to a Miniature Universe, has domain-type supreme treasures, but he doesn’t have a treasure like the ‘Shi Wu Wings’ that controls space-time,” Luo Feng thought. “In terms of space-time control, perhaps only Universe Supreme Masters surpass me by a single tier.”

“Shi Wu Wings… truly amazing,” Luo Feng couldn’t help but praise.

At least Luo Feng hadn’t heard of any other supreme treasure with such power, and the Shi Wu Wings were still incomplete, which filled Luo Feng with anticipation for them.

***

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, but Luo Feng’s eyes were fixed on his opponent, an existence only slightly weaker than Star River Master. Without using the ultimate supreme treasure ‘Star Tower’… how far could he go? Luo Feng was very much looking forward to finding out.

“You little Human brat who’s only cultivated for a dozen epochs, I’ll let you know the consequences of provoking me!” With a roar, endless streams of fiery light had already surged before Luo Feng’s eyes.`,
