Closing the Net

The Beast Gods converging to encircle Luo Feng were growing in number, so many that Moluosa's heart trembled: "Master, they've reached 7.9 million."

"Excellent results," the Divine Power Avatar said with a faint smile.

"Master fought 18,000 Beast Gods simultaneously, routing them and forcing them to flee, with less than a thousand escaping," Moluosa exclaimed, filled with reverence. "It's truly incredible! Those Beast Gods must have been terrified; their fear will drive them to kill Master at all costs."

To eliminate the threat Luo Feng posed, his true body had to be killed.

As for destroying Luo Feng's Miniature Universe? Even if it were truly destroyed, Luo Feng would still be alive and well, merely unable to become a Void True God. Relatively speaking... the Beast Gods would prefer the Galaxy Lord to quickly become a Void True God and attempt Samsara.

"Mark out the number of Beast Gods in each squad within this area," the Divine Power Avatar commanded, pointing to the massive holographic model.

"Yes, Master," Moluosa replied instantly.

Numbers were displayed next to each cluster of converging light points.

"The closest squad to me has 12,000 Beast Gods," the Divine Power Avatar nodded slightly. Immediately, his true body began to move towards them.

A moment later.

"Master, many Beast God squads in your vicinity are rapidly retreating and automatically scattering," Moluosa reported. "Even squads of 10,000 to 20,000 Beast Gods dare not fight you."

"It's a pity I only killed a few hundred Beast Gods," the Divine Power Avatar shook his head. "Each squad completely disperses and flees, making it difficult for me to achieve large-scale kills."

When the Beast Gods gathered, a single strike from him would fell hundreds—how exhilarating was that?

Now?

They all scattered, making it much more troublesome to kill them.

"Now all the Beast Gods are gathering on the periphery of this area, with some squads already reaching 100,000 strong," Moluosa said, tense. The model clearly showed dense clusters of light points forming rings, encircling the area where Luo Feng was located.

"The number of Beast Gods rushing towards the core is still increasing, almost 8 million now!" Moluosa cried out, his voice trembling.

The Divine Power Avatar, however, watched silently.

"Master, 8 million!" Moluosa's two single eyes widened.

It didn't know...

...how its master intended to deal with such a massive encirclement of Beast Gods. One against ten thousand, Luo Feng had achieved it! Luo Feng's combat power had definitely reached the peak of a Void True God, but he was still only a True God. His realm was no less than a Void True God, and he could unleash such combat power only by relying on a series of ultimate treasures like Wuqishen, Shi Wu Wings, and the Blood Shadow Blade.

But this was almost Luo Feng's limit!

How could he contend with 100,000 Beast Gods?

What about a million Beast Gods?

A single strike from a million Beast Gods would be no less than an Eternal True God. No matter how powerful Luo Feng was, he was still just a True God.

The combined might of 8 million Beast Gods already rivaled the top powerhouses among Eternal True Gods.

"The Source is energy unleashed by an Eternal True God using the complete Chaos Golden Wings," Luo Feng mused. "It likely possesses some 'Saint-level' combat power, but unfortunately, it can only be used once, and then it's gone."

"Still, to attract 8 million Beast Gods is already a miracle."

"Even if it's hard to attract more Beast Gods, I still have to try."

Guided by Moluosa, Luo Feng repeatedly ambushed small squads and scattered Beast Gods, causing Beast Gods to die intermittently. Although the entire Beast God race was incredibly furious, their anger only spurred more and more Beast Gods to participate in the encirclement of Luo Feng.

Despite their fury, their encirclement operation remained perfectly orderly.

They continued to gather.

They formed rings around Luo Feng's location, maintaining their formation even when occasionally ambushed.

"Even if a hundred or a thousand Beast Gods die, for the sake of our Beast God race... it is worth it."

"No one can stop the birth of the final King."

The Beast Gods were like precise machines. Born for destruction, they would slaughter each other when there was no threat. But when a true threat emerged... they united as if sharing a single mind. They would never turn on each other and cooperated with incredible precision, unwavering even when sacrificing themselves.

Their cold ruthlessness made even Luo Feng's heart tremble.

"What kind of lifeforms were born in the Universe Ocean?" Luo Feng marveled, trembling. "Beings representing destruction, even in their nascent stage, are too powerful."

For a powerhouse, not only must their strength be great, but more importantly, their spirit must be strong.

The Beast Gods' unwavering ruthlessness in the face of their own sacrifice made Luo Feng feel an invisible pressure.

Luo Feng exerted every means to influence the Beast God race, to shake them.

One by one, Beast Gods died.

Yet, as a whole, they remained unconcerned, continuing to gather. Over 5 million Beast Gods had successfully formed an encirclement.

"Begin advance."

"Begin advance."

"Begin advance."

Squads of Beast Gods began to slowly advance, while over 3 million Beast Gods in the Dim Realm were rushing over at maximum speed.

If the Beast Gods had taken risks repeatedly, Luo Feng would have had means to repeatedly cut them down. But with 5 million Beast Gods gathered, slowly but openly pressing in from all sides, this 'honorable' approach left Luo Feng feeling awkward and unable to act... They were too steady. The Beast Gods' actions were straightforward: a united coercion.

What could Luo Feng do?

These 5 million Beast Gods were divided into over a dozen squads. What could Luo Feng do? He dared not throw himself into the net.

But even if he kept hiding, as the encirclement tightened, he would eventually be unable to escape. Unless he relied on 'Formless and Phaseless'! However, Luo Feng's true objective this time wasn't to escape, but to execute the 'Great Annihilation' plan. Having reached this point, he naturally couldn't hide anymore... Otherwise, the Beast Gods would notice, 'Huh? Our encirclement was flawless, so how did the Galaxy Lord disappear again?'

That would only expose one of his major trump cards.

Precise as machinery, without a single error.

Everything was within the Beast Gods' calculations. They continuously pressed in, shrinking Luo Feng's operational space.

"We've found the Galaxy Lord."

"He's been trapped by us."

A squad of approximately 500,000 Beast Gods, vast and mighty, completely surrounded the Star Tower. Inside the Star Tower, Luo Feng shook his head helplessly. Although everything was within his plan... without 'Formless and Phaseless,' he truly would have no other option but to be trapped, utterly unable to escape.

"Too impregnable."

"Their inherent power is immense, their potential boundless, and their numbers astonishing. When facing a threat, they can unite completely. No wonder they are called a calamity, feared even by the Origin Will," Luo Feng shook his head.

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

The 500,000 Beast Gods maintained their distance from Luo Feng, then simultaneously unleashed their attacks.

Instantly, the powerful combined strike of 500,000 Beast Gods converged, transforming into a beam of light that annihilated everything... The beam directly struck the Star Tower, sending it tumbling and whistling away at a million times the speed of light. Inside the tower, Luo Feng merely felt a tremor and a slight expenditure of divine power.

"Truly worthy of being a treasure used by a God King," Luo Feng thought, safe within the Star Tower.

This was only 500,000 Beast Gods.

If 8 million truly gathered... treasures like the Tomb Mausoleum Boat would likely shatter under such an attack! But the Star Tower was different; even a God King's attack couldn't harm this tower.

"The Galaxy Lord is hiding inside the Star Tower."

"The Star Tower is indestructible, impossible to break."

"We've arrived too."

Another vast Beast God squad arrived, bringing the number of Beast Gods surrounding Luo Feng close to a million.

Time flowed on.

Squad after squad gathered and arrived.

Each time a new squad arrived, they would attempt a combined attack, treating the Star Tower like a ball... repeatedly blasting it far away. Yet, no matter if their numbers grew from one million to two, three, or even five million, they remained unable to harm the Star Tower.

The number of gathered Beast Gods slowly increased, with more Beast Gods continuously pouring in from all directions.

5.3 million, 5.6 million, 6 million...

"So many," Luo Feng observed from within the Star Tower. The Beast Gods were already massive, and millions of them encircling the area completely obscured the void, appearing truly endless.

"They can't break through the Star Tower."

"They're probably waiting for all the Beast Gods to gather, then unleash their strongest combined attack. Only then will they be satisfied," Luo Feng mused. "If even that fails to destroy the Star Tower, they'll choose to drag it into some forbidden zone."

The core region of the Tilted Peak Sector contained many dangerous places.

Such as the Three Extremes Abyss and other forbidden zones.

Once the Star Tower fell into one, it might never escape. However, these forbidden zones were outside the Dim Realm. Dragging the Star Tower out there would take a very long time. Secondly, the Beast Gods weren't entirely confident that those forbidden zones could truly trap the Galaxy Lord.

So, unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn't choose to throw Luo Feng into a forbidden zone.

"Master, the gathered Beast Gods have reached 7.6 million," Moluosa sensed everything, his face filled with anxiety. "A total of over 8.3 million Beast Gods are coming this time, and they'll all be here soon. Master, how will you escape?"

It was panicking.

If Luo Feng died, it would die too, and then it wouldn't become a King.

"7.6 million?" The Divine Power Avatar smiled. "Soon. It's time to close the net."

Inside the Star Tower, even Luo Feng, usually so calm, could barely contain the surge in his heart. He watched the endless Beast Gods outside, each one glaring ferociously and angrily at the besieged Star Tower, with its inner ten and outer ten layers.

"8 million," Luo Feng murmured softly.

"8.1 million."

"8.2 million."

Finally, Luo Feng's eyes gleamed terrifyingly. "All gathered!"

All the Beast Gods participating in this operation had finally gathered. Just as the Beast Gods were about to unleash their largest-scale collective bombardment, Luo Feng's gaze became incredibly wild. He was waiting—waiting for the chaotic shockwave after the Beast Gods' collective attack to unleash the 'Source.'

"My humanity, my Earth lineage, my family, my teachers... everything, everything more precious than my own life, rests on this single gamble!" Luo Feng's eyes were faintly streaked with blood. The wings behind him spread, and the Source was already within the Shi Wu Wings.
