Chapter 540
Sky Eclipse Palace
The Demon Killer Clan's clone is capable of myriad transformations, becoming human with bones, muscles, skin, internal organs, hair, eyes, and nose all identical to a human's! It can suffer broken bones from injuries and vomit blood from severe impacts—just like a real person. And if it transforms into a Golden Horn Beast, it can similarly simulate scales, sharp horns, and even the secret patterns on the scales.
Of course, the larger the volume, the more astonishing the energy consumption. Even if the Demon Killer Clan clone transforms into a Golden Horn Beast, it would only be a Golden Horn Beast tens of meters in size. If it were to transform into a colossal creature tens or hundreds of kilometers long, like a mountain range, it would likely deplete the energy within its life core in a short time!
***
Night fell, and a cold wind blew.
The mountain forest had been reduced to ruins, and Black-Clothed Luo Feng looked down. “I actually managed to kill this Siyong with my Demon Killer Clan clone?” Luo Feng felt a surge of excitement. “While the Demon Killer Clan clone is powerful, its strength lies primarily in ‘assassination.’ In a true one-on-one battle… there are still many races in the cosmos stronger than the Demon Killer Clan!”
Such as the twelve pinnacle bloodlines among the Starry Sky Behemoths. Which one isn't incredibly formidable?
Or the 'ancient monsters' depicted in the ancient images of Xueluo World, equally formidable. There are also the 'Mother Nests' of the Zerg, one of the cosmos' pinnacle races, and the abnormal existences among metal and plant lifeforms. These are all terrifying lifeforms no less inferior to the Golden Horn Beast.
All are incredibly formidable in one-on-one combat.
“The Demon Killer Clan clone excels at assassination.”
“I actually only needed to kill one of Siyong’s disciples, then transform into that disciple’s appearance. At the same time, I could use the talent secret technique—Replication—to completely replicate that disciple’s life aura.” Luo Feng mused inwardly. “That way, even if I stood before Siyong, he wouldn’t detect any problem at all.”
“At close range, with him completely unprepared, I could instantly kill him with a single strike!”
“This would be thousands of times easier than a direct confrontation.” Luo Feng understood that having the Demon Killer Clan clone assassinate Siyong would have been less challenging.
This was mainly due to the talent secret technique—Replication—being too abnormal.
An identical person, not just in appearance but even in aura? It would be impossible to detect any issues. Even in the vast cosmos, among countless races, the Demon Killer Clan is an assassination race that strikes fear into innumerable species. If not for this heaven-defying talent secret technique, it would not have earned the title of ‘the strongest assassination race in the cosmos.’
“I was able to kill him!”
“Although it was partly due to Siyong’s poor comprehension of laws, the absolute disparity in power meant I could still succeed, which also shows that my progress during these 80 years of secluded cultivation has indeed been significant.” Luo Feng felt joy in his heart. He glanced at the ravaged mountain forest below. After Siyong’s death, his internal world shattered, scattering a large number of treasures across the surrounding forest.
Luo Feng collected Siyong’s spatial ring and also took the valuable items among these treasures, leaving the rest. As for other items?
How much wealth could a Sector Lord possess? In the cosmos, having 10 mixed-element units would be considered strong. Not to mention the natives of Xueluo World; only a very few items caught Luo Feng’s eye. All other items combined were far less than 1 mixed-element unit. With Luo Feng’s status, he could obtain such items for free directly from the Virtual Universe Company.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng soared into the sky, leaving behind the ruined mountain forest, Siyong’s corpse, and a large number of ‘treasures’ that held no value for Luo Feng.
However, half a day after Luo Feng left, the area was discovered by a team. These items, which even some Domain Lords would covet, drove the team into a frenzy, leading to internal strife and even mutual slaughter. Subsequently, the vast amount of treasures ignited a bloody storm within the Yangang territory, with countless individuals excitedly vying for them.
At the same time, news of Siyong’s death spread.
With Siyong’s death, the ‘World Masters’ of several other surrounding worlds immediately launched attacks, seizing territory.
Siyong’s forces quickly vanished into thin air…
There was no one left to avenge Siyong, let alone to capture Nake and Nabu for him.
***
“This… this was left for me by Brother Feng?” The silver-haired youth Nake, accompanied by his father, finally found a place to rest and investigate the spatial ring. He was startled by what he saw.
“What is it, Keke?” Nabu asked, puzzled.
“Brother Feng gave me a huge amount of money, so much. It’s tens of thousands, even millions of times more than our family’s wealth back then,” Nake said, astonished.
Nabu’s eyes immediately lit up. “Haha, our Na family will surely rise again, stronger than ever! With this money, things will be much easier from now on. Nake… we made the right gamble back then, the right gamble!”
Nake nodded slightly, but his heart was filled with worry for Luo Feng. “Brother Feng said he was going to block Siyong…”
In the days that followed, when the news of Siyong’s death spread, especially the location of his demise, and Nake and Nabu learned of it, they were utterly horrified!
Clearly!
The place where Siyong died was the very spot where Luo Feng had been waiting.
“Brother Feng killed Siyong?”
“Lord Feng killed Siyong?”
Nake and Nabu were both shocked.
***
Of course, Luo Feng was unaware of the events that unfolded later in Xueluo World.
After killing Siyong, the Demon Killer Clan clone soared into the sky, returned to the Mechanical Race Spaceship, and then officially departed.
“Xueluo World.”
Standing in the spaceship’s control room, Luo Feng looked back at the endless, vast continent behind him—this Xueluo World, completely suppressed and monitored by the Virtual Universe Company. “Farewell for now, little Nake. Once I reach the Domain Lord level, I’ll serve as a high-ranking official in the cosmos, and at the Sector Lord level, I’ll undergo life-and-death tempering. I probably won’t be back for a very, very long time… I hope to see you again the next time I visit your Xueluo World.”
Luo Feng knew…
He likely wouldn’t be able to return within a thousand or even ten thousand years. However, he still had many questions about Xueluo Continent. One day, he would definitely return to investigate thoroughly.
***
In the distant, mist-shrouded void, an incredibly colossal palace floated—this was precisely the Sky Eclipse Palace.
Because of the existence of this palace, the many powerhouses of Xueluo World, from the endless ancient times to the present, have never dared to emerge, only cowering within Xueluo World.
Whoosh!
The Sky Eclipse Palace in the void, larger than an average planet, now saw a tiny speck fly out from it, rapidly approaching Luo Feng’s Mechanical Race Spaceship. It was a black triangular spaceship, approximately eight hundred meters in diameter.
“Beep!”
“Your Highness Luo Feng, hello, I am Moluoke, the greeter of Sky Eclipse Palace. Congratulations, Your Highness Luo Feng, on completing your training in Xueluo World.” As the spaceship approached the Mechanical Race Spaceship, it directly sent a message. Soon, guided by this spaceship, Luo Feng arrived at a vast hall on the first floor of Sky Eclipse Palace.
This hall was thousands of kilometers long and wide.
Luo Feng stored his Mechanical Race Spaceship and stood in the hall, marveling. The hall was densely packed with spaceships, occupying more than half of its area. Each spaceship, by Luo Feng’s judgment, was at least an E-grade spaceship, and he could even spot F-grade ones.
“Your Highness Luo Feng.” Moluoke, a Sector Lord wearing silver battle armor, with six eyes and blue skin, led the way beside him, speaking fluent cosmic common language in a slightly high-pitched voice. “It’s truly astonishing that you stayed in Xueluo World for 80 years.”
“Mainly for the Blood Warrior mission,” Luo Feng said with a smile as they walked.
Unlike Xueluo World, where races were diverse but mostly normal in appearance, the human race in the cosmos was vast, with countless species and various forms.
“Blood Warrior mission? Your Highness Luo Feng completed it?” Moluoke was surprised.
“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded.
“Wow, congratulations, Your Highness Luo Feng,” Moluoke said with a smile. “I’ve hosted many geniuses here who came for cultivation missions, even those from the Giant Axe Martial Arena and the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, but very few have managed to become Blood Warriors. To fuse three Xueluo Crystals usually requires staying in the Ancient God Ruins for a very long time, and many lack the patience. Moreover, the Ancient God Ruins are very dangerous.”
Luo Feng nodded.
The two walked and chatted. Although they weren’t deliberately moving fast, in just a few minutes, they traversed thousands of kilometers and reached the stairs leading to the second floor of the palace.
The stairs were incredibly wide, each step 100 meters high, 10 kilometers long, and 5 kilometers wide, appearing entirely made of glazed glass. Looking up, there were probably thousands of steps, spiraling upwards.
“To go to the upper floor of the palace, you must use these stairs,” Sector Lord Moluoke said with a smile.
The two transformed into streaks of light, flying up the stairwell.
“Is there any need to go up? Can’t you just arrange a spaceship for me and send me off?” Luo Feng asked.
“It is our Sky Eclipse Palace Master who wishes to see you,” Sector Lord Moluoke replied.
“Palace Master?” Luo Feng was startled.
What kind of status did the Sky Eclipse Palace Master possess? An exalted existence who presided over Sky Eclipse Palace, deterring the vast Xueluo World. Even within the Virtual Universe Company, he would undoubtedly be a super-existence belonging to the ruling class.
“Indeed.” Sector Lord Moluoke’s eyes held a hint of envy as he smiled. “I’ve been in Sky Eclipse Palace for so many years and have never met the Palace Master. But our Palace Master possesses incredible power. With him presiding over Sky Eclipse Palace, none of the Immortals and ancient existences from Xueluo World’s Immortal Temple dare to emerge. For the Palace Master to want to see you, it’s your good fortune.”
“Why does he want to see me?” Luo Feng wondered.
A figure of the Sky Eclipse Palace Master’s status would likely be at least Universe Nation Lord level, perhaps even stronger. Otherwise, how could he deter Xueluo World?
Such super-existences wouldn’t necessarily care much about mere geniuses.
Those beings were all eternally ancient and powerful existences in the cosmos.
“Why the Palace Master wants to see you, how could a small figure like me know the reason?” Sector Lord Moluoke laughed. “My authority only extends to bringing you to the second floor. I don’t dare go any higher, but someone will meet you there and take you directly to the ninth floor of Sky Eclipse Palace to see the Palace Master.”
As soon as he finished speaking,
The two arrived on the second floor. Luo Feng immediately saw a burly man standing not far away, over three meters tall, with disheveled hair and a giant axe strapped to his back. In a trance, that burly man felt like a towering mountain, making one’s heart palpitate. His aura seemed even more terrifying than Divine General Thirteen from the Ganwu Universe Nation back then.
