Blaze Emperor

Siyu Hall, originally a place for cultivation, gradually became a detention facility. The entire Siyu Hall was approximately a hundred meters high and several hundred meters long and wide, completely empty inside. Luo Feng sat cross-legged, meditating within Siyu Hall. “Your Highness, I’m just outside the hall.” Dilun’s immortal power penetrated the hall, transmitting his voice. “This matter is entirely due to Yanzhu King’s excessive behavior; he’s simply looking for trouble. They have internal issues, yet they come to bother Your Highness. You needn’t worry; the situation will be resolved quickly.” “It’s nothing,” Luo Feng said, sitting cross-legged with a smile. “Just a minor setback, nothing to worry about.” Suddenly, Luo Feng looked down at his armguard screen and received a call invitation. “Hmm? Master?” Luo Feng immediately connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe. … In Luo Feng’s manor in the Primal Region of Yuxiang Mountain in the Virtual Universe, Zhenyan King, clad in golden armor, sat in the hall. Luo Feng instantly appeared, then flew into the first-floor hall and respectfully bowed. “Disciple greets Master.” “Sit,” Zhenyan King said, glancing at Luo Feng with a smile. Luo Feng sat down. “I already know about your situation and have just reviewed some records from the Wulong Starfield,” Zhenyan King said, looking at Luo Feng. “Is what you told the Universe Venerable true? Did Ke Sier indeed try to assassinate you, and was there truly a Flame Immortal God attempting to kill you?” “Yes,” Luo Feng replied respectfully. “As for what I told the Universe Venerable, it is mostly true. There are just a few minor details I chose not to disclose.” It was indeed mostly true. The story Luo Feng fabricated—that he resisted Ke Sier not with ten Sector Lords, but with his own Soul Void Tower defense, and killed the Flame Immortal God not with a Fire God Origin Crystal, but with his Golden Horned Beast—was, in essence, true. He merely embellished some parts involving crucial secrets. “Hmm,” Zhenyan King nodded, not pressing further. As an ancient being who had existed for hundreds of millions of years, Zhenyan King knew that almost every super genius who reached the pinnacle of the vast universe had some special encounters. He also knew that his disciple undoubtedly had some unique experiences. The Demonic Sound General’s inheritance was one, and even before that, he suspected Luo Feng had other encounters. However, everyone has secrets. Zhenyan King wouldn’t insist on knowing every detail about his disciple. He only needed to confirm that this was his disciple, and that his disciple’s actions hadn’t crossed his teacher’s bottom line. Beyond that, he would never interfere. “Since you’ve confirmed this was indeed an assassination attempt, then this matter is settled,” Zhenyan King said, a hint of boldness in his smile. “No matter what, you are a genius of my Virtual Universe Company. No matter how overbearing Yanzhu may be, he has no right to decide the fate of a member under my Virtual Universe Company.” Luo Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. “Tell me in detail everything you discussed with Yanzhu,” Zhenyan King instructed. “Yes, Master.” Luo Feng immediately recounted the entire series of conversations. Zhenyan King listened, then burst into laughter. “Haha, you’re quite good at invoking powerful names! Invoking the name of Nine Swords Venerable is one thing—after all, you’ll be under Nine Swords Venerable’s command once you become an Immortal God. But you actually invoked the name of Sky Eclipse Palace Master… Haha, hearing the name Sky Eclipse Palace Master must have scared Yanzhu witless.” “Is Sky Eclipse Palace Master that powerful?” Luo Feng asked softly. “Stronger than Nine Swords Venerable?” “Sky Eclipse Palace Master presides over Sky Eclipse Palace, deterring the Xueluo World for hundreds of millions of years,” Zhenyan King said, a trace of reverence in his eyes. “That’s far stronger than Universe Country Lords or Universe Venerables; he’s truly at the highest echelon of my Virtual Universe Company. It was indeed your great fortune that he once guided you.” Luo Feng was secretly astonished. Even Master spoke of him this way; Sky Eclipse Palace Master’s status was truly extraordinary. “By the way, Master, why is Yanzhu King targeting me so much?” Luo Feng asked, puzzled. “I’ve never met him before.” “It’s mainly because of me, your Master.” Zhenyan King’s eyes held a hint of disdain, and he scoffed. “That Yanzhu, in terms of comprehension, aptitude, and talent, can only be considered ordinary. If he had no one to guide him, it would be incredibly difficult for him to even become a Sector Lord. But he has a very powerful father, a true peerless genius of the Giant Axe Martial Arena, and currently, the Blaze Emperor of the Giant Axe Martial Arena.” “Blaze Emperor?” Luo Feng was startled. “Indeed,” Zhenyan King sighed. “That is a true peerless genius, no less than Ke Di, whom I mentioned. At the peak Sector Lord level, he could kill a Marquis-level Immortal. Upon breaking through to Immortal, he immediately became a King-level Immortal God. Then, hundreds of thousands of years later, he became a Universe Venerable.” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. “Blaze Emperor has only this one son, and he has poured endless resources and effort into him,” Zhenyan King lamented. “He kept his only son, Yanzhu, at the Sector Lord level, not rushing him to break through to Immortal, but allowing him to remain at the Sector Lord level for over 9 million years.” Luo Feng was greatly shocked. Longjue King had previously said that Yanzhu King was a genius, reaching peak Marquis-level Immortal as soon as he became an Immortal. But now he heard… he had remained at the Sector Lord level for over 9 million years. The lifespan limit for human Sector Lords was only 1,000 eras. “Furthermore, he gave his son an incredibly terrifying treasure, one that even Universe Venerables would covet, a treasure Blaze Emperor himself chose not to use,” Zhenyan King continued. “What?” Luo Feng was astonished. “Do you remember those mysterious secret patterns on Yanzhu King’s forehead? Those are the external manifestations of that treasure after he refined it,” Zhenyan King said with a sigh. Luo Feng immediately recalled seeing Yanzhu King for the first time and noticing those mysterious secret patterns on his forehead… those patterns indeed exuded an ancient and eternal aura. “Endless resources and treasures, even a treasure coveted by Universe Venerables, were all used on his only son, who was merely at the Sector Lord level at the time,” Zhenyan King sighed. “Yanzhu King’s body alone was elevated to a virtually perfect state by his father using treasures. That’s why he is breathtakingly beautiful. After cultivating diligently for 9 million years at the Sector Lord level, combined with countless treasures, how could he not be strong?” “Becoming a peak Marquis-level Immortal God is also very normal.” Zhenyan King shook his head. “Even an ordinary Immortal God, given that ultimate treasure, could reach peak Marquis.” “Ah,” Luo Feng exclaimed in surprise. So, in that case… Yanzhu King was no genius at all. “He simply has a peerless genius, an incredibly powerful father,” Zhenyan King scoffed. “As for himself, he’s just a narrow-minded fellow completely spoiled by his father. He’s always been jealous of true talents, so when I rose to prominence, he started a feud with me. But I thoroughly thrashed him. I didn’t care about anything else.” Luo Feng smiled. “He fought with me and always lost. And there was no way I would endure bullying without fighting back. He lost every time we fought, so we became mortal enemies,” Zhenyan King shook his head. “Given his narrow-mindedness, it’s no surprise he’s looking for trouble with you. Firstly, you’re also a genius. Secondly, he hates me to the bone but can’t do anything to me, so of course, he’ll vent his anger on my valued disciple. Actually, I’ve been giving him face; I never publicly exposed his many embarrassing incidents, mainly because I didn’t want to offend his father. His father… is a true figure like a hegemon. After hundreds of millions of years, his strength is unfathomable, and his status in the Giant Axe Martial Arena is extremely high.” Luo Feng nodded. To become a King-level Immortal God in less than ten thousand years, and a Universe Venerable in hundreds of thousands of years, after hundreds of millions of years… his strength must be even more astonishing. “No wonder he’s so arrogant and overbearing. No wonder Longjue King, Dalian King, and the other four, who also have backgrounds, always defer to Yanzhu King,” Luo Feng thought to himself. “He was purely elevated to the King-level Immortal God stage by his super-powerful father. His father truly paid a huge price. He didn’t even use the treasures himself, giving them all to his only son.” “You’ll have to endure this for now,” Zhenyan King said with a smile. “No matter what, no matter how strong Blaze Emperor is… he’s still a member of the Giant Axe Martial Arena. If someone from the Giant Axe Martial Arena dares to openly bully someone from my Virtual Universe Company like this, my Virtual Universe Company certainly won’t bow down.” Luo Feng nodded. This involved a covert struggle between two major powers. “Yanzhu King, no matter how unwilling, will eventually have to let you go,” Zhenyan King said. “But you’ll have to wait… wait until someone from the higher-ups speaks.” Luo Feng understood that Yanzhu King’s backing was Blaze Emperor. His Master, Zhenyan King, was only an existence closest to a Universe Venerable. Compared to Blaze Emperor, who had cultivated for hundreds of millions of years, their status difference was still significant. In this matter… his Master’s influence alone might not be enough. After all, Yanzhu King hated Zhenyan King to the bone and wouldn’t give him face. … In a majestic and luxurious palace in the Wulong Starfield. “A disciple of Zhenyan King actually dares to challenge me!” Yanzhu King, with his handsome face, now wore a twisted expression, his eyes filled with the flames of hatred. He recalled his past confrontations with Zhenyan King, who was truly arrogant and fearless, not afraid of stirring up any trouble. He thrashed Blaze Emperor’s only son without hesitation! Yanzhu King was miserable back then. He was thoroughly thrashed. If Zhenyan King hadn’t shown some consideration for Blaze Emperor, he might have killed Yanzhu King back then. “Hmph.” “Zhenyan King?” “I didn’t expect your disciple to be as arrogant as you. With such an arrogant Master, there’s such an arrogant disciple. It’s fine… your disciple is now marked by me. Even if he escapes this time, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future.” A cold light flashed in Yanzhu King’s eyes. Having survived for so many years, no one had insulted him as deeply as Zhenyan King, except for his father’s severe punishments. Back then, Yanzhu King was driven mad by the thrashing and hysterically roared at his father, “Kill Zhenyan, kill him! If he doesn’t die, I will! It’s either him or me!” But his father, Blaze Emperor’s, response was… to throw his son into the Ninth Starfield Prison. After just 1,000 years, Yanzhu King returned much more obedient. Although he remained narrow-minded and ruthless, he was no longer as lawless as he once was.
