Chapter 559
Po Yu Marquis
Luo Feng smiled faintly. This Demonic Mountain is divided into two areas: 'Demonic Sound Mountain' and 'Ice Mountain.' As its name suggests, Ice Mountain is renowned for its extreme cold! The temperature there is unbelievably low; what is called 'absolute zero' is merely a concept within Earth's technological framework. In the vast cosmos, temperatures even lower than absolute zero still exist! For instance, the giant ice planet orbiting the Star Continent where Luo Feng resides in the Taichu Secret Realm, or Ice Mountain itself! Both feature ultra-low temperatures, capable of damaging the genetic cells of even Universe-level experts. The temperature within Ice Mountain isn't uniform; some areas can harm Universe-level beings, while others are so cold they can even injure Domain Lords and even Sector Lords! Therefore, recklessly venturing into Ice Mountain and entering a terrifyingly cold zone could instantly cause one's cellular genes to freeze and completely collapse. Ice Mountain primarily targets the body. Demonic Sound Mountain, on the other hand, targets the soul. Demonic Sound Mountain is vast and deep, with howling winds occasionally accompanied by various sounds. These sounds are akin to 'natural illusions,' and one can easily fall victim to them. The illusionary power varies depending on the region. In some terrifying areas, many Universe-level experts and even Domain Lords could instantly lose their self-awareness and become mindless puppets! "I choose Demonic Sound Mountain," Luo Feng declared. "Demonic Sound Mountain?" The white-robed youth was startled, quickly adding, "Your Highness Luo Feng, please don't mind my interference. This ancient Demonic Mountain has two sides. While Ice Mountain is dangerous, it only targets the body. Compared to the body, the soul is, of course, the foundation. If you fall victim in Ice Mountain, there's still a chance to struggle, but in Demonic Sound Mountain, once you're affected, you'll immediately lose self-awareness, with no chance to resist or struggle." "It's fine," Luo Feng said with a smile. Demonic sounds? Natural illusions? In terms of willpower alone, Luo Feng surpassed almost all peak Sector Lords, even rivaling Undying beings! Eighty years of tempering in the baleful aura of the Xueluo World had long since made Luo Feng's will far stronger. "In that case, I will arrange for someone to escort Your Highness Luo Feng to the Demonic Mountain," the white-robed youth bowed slightly. "Your Highness Luo Feng, please remember to bring your identity token when you come out! Losing your identity token will also count as a failed mission." "I know that," Luo Feng nodded. "Please wait a moment." The white-robed youth then turned and moved through the vast hall like a streak of lightning, instantly reaching a distant point. In just a moment, an oval spaceship, about a hundred meters long, flew through the air and stopped directly in front of Luo Feng. The hatch opened, and three white-robed figures emerged, including the white-robed youth from before. "Your Highness Luo Feng, please!" "Mm." Luo Feng stepped forward instantly, entering the spaceship. ... The Demonic Mountain was towering and majestic. The spaceship flew around it like a fly. Inside the control room, Luo Feng looked out. He could occasionally spot cave entrances on the majestic Demonic Mountain, each exuding a chilling aura. "Your Highness Luo Feng, Demonic Sound Mountain occupies about half the area of the Demonic Mountain. Given the mountain's immense size, there are billions of cave entrances leading into the depths of Demonic Sound Mountain." The white-robed youth pointed into the distance, where countless cave entrances, ranging from several kilometers to hundreds of kilometers wide, were densely scattered across Demonic Sound Mountain. "Your Highness can choose any one to enter." "Fly for a little longer," Luo Feng instructed. "Yes." ... After flying for a few more minutes, the spaceship was completely away from the previous canyon. Only then did Luo Feng choose a cave entrance to enter. ... At the foot of the Demonic Mountain, palaces of varying sizes stretched out in an undulating expanse. On a platform near the 'Ice Mountain' at the foot of the Demonic Mountain, a palace, approximately tens of thousands of kilometers tall and entirely emerald green, resembling an umbrella, stood majestically. Outside the palace stood a group of stewards dressed in green battle suits, all of them possessing a calamitous beauty, each with a long emerald green snake tail covered in dense scales. Swish! The spaceship that had escorted Luo Feng instantly stopped in front of the palace. The hatch opened, and the white-robed youth flew alone to the palace entrance, his face filled with reverence, standing respectfully outside. "Yi Chang, come in!" A gentle voice rang out. The white-robed youth's pupils constricted slightly, as if startled, but he maintained a respectful expression as he entered the austere Divine Temple. The palace was vast and complex. The white-robed youth flew for a long time within the palace before finally arriving at a cold, chilling hall filled with an icy aura. This frigid hall was about several kilometers wide and several kilometers high. There were no servants in the hall, only a suffocating figure seated high on a throne, approximately one kilometer above the hall. "Greetings, Po Yu Marquis!" The white-robed youth bowed respectfully. He dared not look up at the figure on the throne. "Luo Feng, has he entered?" The gentle voice inquired. "Yes, His Highness Luo Feng just entered," the white-robed youth replied. "He entered Demonic Sound Mountain." "Mm." The gentle voice continued, "When Luo Feng comes out, have him come to see me." "Yes," the white-robed youth bowed. "Yi Chang, you may withdraw," the gentle voice said. "Yes." The white-robed youth dared not say another word, quickly exiting the hall, and then swiftly leaving the cold palace. As he stepped out, the white-robed youth Yi Chang finally let out a sigh of relief: "That capricious Po Yu Marquis, with her unpredictable moods, could kill me in a fit of anger, and that would be truly unjust. Fortunately, nothing happened today." Where there are benefits, there is struggle! Within a cosmic super-giant like the Virtual Universe Company, internal conflicts naturally exist, but everything is suppressed and managed. However, for an existence like Po Yu Marquis, casually killing a Sector Lord is indeed nothing. Luo Feng, Bolan, and others are treated with respect everywhere, as if the Virtual Universe Company were a paradise. But that is because Luo Feng and his peers are geniuses, so others respect them. Those like 'Yi Chang,' who painstakingly climbed to the Sector Lord level step by step, still have to be cautious. If their status isn't high enough... they could be instantly annihilated if a powerful figure is in a bad mood. ... Inside that cold hall, the tall figure on the high throne slowly descended, landing on the hall floor. She had an emerald green snake tail, over ten meters long, while her upper body was impeccably perfect. Especially her peerless face beneath her emerald green hair was breathtakingly beautiful. Her captivating eyes gazed into the distance beyond the hall, as if seeing a place billions of light-years away. "Ha!" "Ha!" She suddenly let out a neurotic laugh. "Hahahahaha..." "The opportunity has come!" she murmured softly. Immediately! Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~~ Her body began to change rapidly. The emerald green snake tail quickly transformed into two bare legs, while her clothes naturally extended, turning her into a peerless beauty over eight meters tall. "First, let's collect some interest." "Killing him is just the first step." The peerless beauty murmured softly, then her figure flickered and disappeared. ... Just a few minutes later, on one of the nine ancient, dark red planets orbiting the Demonic Mountain, a spaceship rapidly plunged into it. Inside the planet, an ancient city spanning about ten thousand kilometers, home to one of the top three ancient sects on this planet, the 'Thousand Star Sect.' "Rumble~~" The ancestors of the Thousand Star Sect quickly emerged from their seclusion or rushed from various meditation spots. In just a few minutes, all of them had gathered in the Divine Temple of the Thousand Star Sect. A Divine Temple, what is a Divine Temple? Only with a god can a Divine Temple be established. The Thousand Star Sect currently had an Undying being, the 'Thousand Star Elder,' presiding over it! "Why did the Grand Elder summon us so urgently?" "I don't know." "Hurry up, the Grand Elder has never given us such an anxious command before." Sector Lords and Domain Lords all rushed to the Thousand Star Sect's sacred ground—the Divine Temple. On the throne of the majestic Divine Temple sat a tall, exquisitely beautiful woman. Below, respectfully standing, was an old man with two black horns over a meter long on his forehead, none other than the Thousand Star Elder, the Grand Elder of the Thousand Star Sect. "Grand Elder." "Grand Elder." The group of arriving Sector Lords and Domain Lords all bowed respectfully. "Reporting to Master!" The black-horned elder knelt respectfully. "All Sector Lords and Domain Lords closest to our Thousand Star Sect have arrived, totaling six Sector Lords and 53 Domain Lords." "Master?" The Sector Lords and Domain Lords, some with black horns, others with silvery-white horns, were all stunned. The beautiful woman on the throne looked towards the Divine Temple's main entrance. An invisible force seemed to push the temple doors. Boom~~~ The doors automatically closed, making the group of Sector Lords and Domain Lords even more nervous. They couldn't help but occasionally glance up at the beautiful figure on the throne, filled with fear, but they couldn't clearly see her face. They only felt an invisible pressure spreading, naturally instilling terror in their hearts. "Those among you who have challenged the Demonic Mountain, stand on the left. Those who haven't, stand on the right," a gentle voice commanded. As if controlled, the 59 individuals naturally moved to two sides. 32 stood on the left, and 27 stood on the right. "You six, stay!" Six emerald green halos descended from the sky, landing directly on six individuals among the 27 Sector Lords and Domain Lords. These six included three Sector Lords and three ninth-tier Domain Lords. "The rest of you may leave." The doors automatically opened. The other 53 Sector Lords and Domain Lords walked out like puppets, one by one, and then the doors closed again. Outside the Divine Temple's main entrance. "What happened?" "What just happened?" "Didn't the Grand Elder summon us? Why are we outside?" These Sector Lords and Domain Lords seemed to awaken from a dream, looking at each other, unable to recall what had happened inside the hall. "All of you, go back! Immediately! Do not question anything!" An old, angry voice echoed in the minds of this group of Sector Lords and Domain Lords. "Yes, Grand Elder." The group immediately obeyed respectfully, scattering in all directions. ... Meanwhile, in the great hall, the beautiful woman sat high on the throne, scrutinizing the three Sector Lords and three Domain Lords standing below. "It is an honor for our Thousand Star Sect to serve Master. Master, please command us whatever you wish; our Thousand Star Sect disciples will surely accomplish it," the black-horned elder, 'Thousand Star Elder,' said respectfully.
