Chapter 267

He Has Arrived

“Master, it’s time to depart.” A respectful voice came from the stairwell leading to the rooftop. “Master?” “Master?” After calling out several times, the puzzled butler rushed to the rooftop. A glance around revealed the peerless expert, Yan Hai, lying motionless on the ground. The butler’s face instantly paled. “Master, what’s wrong? What happened to you?” He hurried over, knelt down, checked for breath, and then for a pulse. “Dead?” The butler’s eyes widened in terror. “How could Master be dead? The doctor said Master was incredibly healthy, healthier than a young man, so how could he—” The true lifespan of a planetary-level warrior exceeds a thousand years, a fact known to some high-ranking officials in nations that have explored ancient civilization ruins on Earth, but unknown to this butler. In mere moments! Several of Yan Hai’s confidantes and his family doctor were already by the body. “The body is intact, without any injuries,” the doctor said, shaking his head after examining it with instruments. “This shouldn’t be. This body is incredibly healthy; he shouldn’t be dead.” From a medical perspective, if there were no physiological problems, he shouldn’t have died. However, they had no way to detect the soul. … In Washington Base City, America, North America. A black luxury sedan slowly drove down the street. Inside sat Atuka, currently the most powerful individual on Earth. With his overwhelming dominance, he had forced the entire HR Alliance Council to hold new elections, replacing Yisaduona as the new Speaker! He now wielded the highest authority in the HR Alliance. Not one of the nine core families dared to object! Before the Devouring Beast incident, he was the fifth Speaker of the War God Palace! Atuka was incredibly lean. A small goatee adorned his chin, and his eyes, though seemingly dull, would occasionally flash with a startling brilliance! This was a man who had been incredibly low-key before the Devouring Beast incident; even Hong, Lei Shen, and others had never detected any ambition in him. But when the powerful figures above him fell one by one, Atuka’s ambition was finally exposed! “Hello.” Atuka pulled out his phone. “Speaker, Mr. Yan Hai was found dead 15 minutes ago, on his rooftop. As for the exact time of death, it’s impossible to determine,” a slightly nervous voice reported. “What?!” Atuka’s expression changed drastically, his mind instantly in turmoil. How could Yan Hai be dead? Who on Earth could kill Yan Hai so easily? “How did he die?” Atuka pressed, demanding an answer. “We don’t know. No one in Mr. Yan Hai’s house heard anything. No one knows how or when Mr. Yan Hai died!” Atuka frowned, his voice low. “Cause of death, undetermined?” “Yes, Mr. Yan Hai has no injuries on his body, and he was very healthy. He shouldn’t have died.” As soon as the voice finished, Atuka’s face changed dramatically. Snap! Hanging up the phone, Atuka’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them. “It’s a spiritual force attack on the soul! Only a complete disintegration of the soul would result in this! But… there’s only one planetary-level spiritual force user in this world—Sage Nihelu! But Sage is only a First-tier planetary-level, he doesn’t have the ability to kill Yan Hai.” “Who could it be?” “Who?” Two figures flashed through Atuka’s mind: Easter, who had long overshadowed him! And Luo Feng, a genius even more powerful than Easter! “But they’re dead! I saw Easter’s body with my own eyes, and Luo Feng’s life aura weakening and disappearing was broadcast globally.” Atuka’s expression suddenly changed again. “No, Luo Feng… Luo Feng…” He remembered Hong and Lei Shen, who had fallen into a deep slumber. Back then, Hong and Lei Shen’s life auras had also disappeared, and though they had no brainwaves and were ‘living dead,’ they weren’t entirely gone! The Devouring Beast itself had even ‘resurrected’ after death. “No one saw Luo Feng’s body!” “From beginning to end, there was no body for Luo Feng. Could it be… he, he’s still alive?” Atuka’s face grew increasingly grim. Luo Feng, who had effortlessly killed the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor back then, was not someone Atuka could provoke! He would have been easily killed facing the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor. Yet, Luo Feng had killed it with ease. Luo Feng, that young yet incredibly powerful anomaly, was on par with Hong and Lei Shen. And Atuka? He had to look up to Luo Feng! If Luo Feng truly returned and learned that Atuka had sent Sage Nihelu and Weinuo to his home to forcibly take the Muya Jing and other items, the consequences… “No, no!” Atuka shook his head repeatedly, filled with anxiety and fury. If it was Luo Feng, he was finished. Even if it wasn’t Luo Feng, anyone who could silently kill Yan Hai could probably kill Atuka too! “Hello.” Atuka quickly dialed a number. “Sage, it’s me, Atuka. I suspect Luo Feng isn’t dead, and he just killed Yan Hai. You must be extremely careful; it’s best to leave your residence immediately!” … In New Delhi Base City, India, Asia. Due to the time difference, while it was just dawn in the European Union, it was broad daylight in New Delhi Base City. The scorching summer Sun enveloped the entire city. In the eastern part of New Delhi Base City’s main urban area stood a sprawling castle, home to the ancient and highly influential Nihelu family of India. The Nihelu family’s strength originally lay in politics, but ever since one of their descendants—Sage Nihelu—rose rapidly, becoming the only planetary-level spiritual force user on Earth, the family’s power had surged! “Ever since Mr. Sage agreed to accept spiritual force user disciples, the number of visitors has been increasing daily.” “Spiritual force users aren’t easy to cultivate. Mr. Sage is the most formidable spiritual force user on the entire Earth, and he’s so young. Even compared to Luo Feng of Huaxia Nation, their ages are similar! Mr. Sage is the pride of our India, an absolute genius spiritual force user. I believe he will definitely become as incredibly powerful as Mr. Luo Feng.” “Indeed, the outside world even calls Mr. Sage ‘Luo Feng’s Second’.” On the castle walls, two guards watched a luxurious sedan pull into the outer parking lot below, whispering among themselves. Inside the castle. In the reception hall, two groups of guests had already gathered. “Please wait a moment. Mr. Sage is currently in meditation. He will receive you all once his meditation concludes,” a man in cool silk clothing said with a smile. “Alright, we’re not in a hurry.” The two groups comprised eight guests in total, two of whom were young spiritual force users, clearly having just awakened their abilities. … Above the Nihelu family castle, a figure appeared. Strangely, no one saw this figure. “Babata, your stealth system really works wonders,” Luo Feng praised. “What’s so great about this?!” a crisp voice retorted. “It’s just controlling light distortion so that the light entering the eyes of observers below remains unchanged. It’s too simple! Even high-tech spaceships and interstellar battleships in the cosmos could hover above your cities, and if they didn’t want you to see them, you wouldn’t!” Luo Feng had no doubts. When he was in his Golden Horned Beast form underwater, it was thanks to Babata’s signal jamming that Earth’s life detectors couldn’t detect the Golden Horned Beast’s life aura. “These are mere child’s play! For a warrior, even without seeing, they can sense someone approaching,” Babata said. “Hmm.” Luo Feng looked down, his spiritual force incredibly gentle, silently sweeping over the castle below. It could truly be described as ‘penetrating without a trace.’ Not a single person detected Luo Feng’s presence, including the newly advanced planetary-level spiritual force user, Sage Nihelu. “He’s a First-tier planetary-level, and I’m a Sixth-tier. Purely in terms of tier, I’m 32 times stronger than him. Not to mention, I’ve cultivated the ‘Control Chapter’ and ‘Illusion Chapter,’ making my control and precision infinitely superior.” Luo Feng shook his head. After systematically studying the Yunmo Star lineage, he clearly felt… …just how much stronger he was in spiritual force compared to the opponent. Whoosh! Luo Feng swooped down! … Inside the castle. A young man in a lavish black robe reclined on a sofa, his legs resting on the glass coffee table in front of him, a high-stemmed glass of beautiful red wine swirling in his hand. “Mmm.” Sage took a sip. “Contend with me? That old fossil is so ancient. I’m still young; how can he compare to my potential? Now… as soon as I announce I’m accepting disciples, how many influential families will send their children to me? I am the only planetary-level spiritual force user on Earth!” “The tide is on my side, and I have big brother Atuka and the others helping me. Plus, my Nihelu family’s inherent power within India…” “The position of Thunder Dojo Master will definitely be mine!” Sage tilted his head slightly, a sneer gracing his lips. “Hmph, people are calling me ‘Luo Feng’s Second’ again. I’ve heard that too many times!” Ever since he broke through to the planetary-level, when people praised him, they would say he would become like Luo Feng. At first, Sage was very proud and happy. But after hearing such remarks too often, Sage grew annoyed. “Hmph, Luo Feng and I are of similar age. I, too, will soar and become increasingly powerful, like Hong, like Lei Shen! By then, I’ll make people say… Luo Feng is ‘Sage’s Second’! Haha…” Sage, who had achieved success at a young age, was immensely smug at this moment when his phone suddenly rang. “Hello.” Sage answered the call. “Sage, it’s me, Atuka. I suspect Luo Feng isn’t dead, and he just killed Yan Hai. You must be extremely careful; it’s best to leave your residence immediately!” Atuka’s anxious voice came through the phone. Sage sprang up in shock. But as he stood, his gaze suddenly fell upon a person standing by the door behind him. He wore military trousers and a simple vest, a young man with yellow skin and short black hair. His gaze was like a sharp knife piercing his soul, making his heart pound! Sage’s eyes were wide with terror! That face… 99% of the world’s population recognized it! “He, he…” Sage’s face turned pale. Fear! He once thought he was strong, but with this person standing before him, just a single look filled him with an uncontrollable dread! And he had even gone to Luo Feng’s home to seize ‘relics.’ “Sage, are you there? Why aren’t you speaking?” Atuka’s anxious voice came again. “He, he has arrived!”
