Original Secret Sector Lord

“Ah!” The Minotaur widened his bull-like eyes and immediately roared, “Someone’s trespassing on the Original Sky-Reaching Mountain!”Two streaks of light flew from a distance—the Ape-man Mental-force Master and the Snake-woman Illusionist. After the three guardians at the foot of the mountain gathered, they all looked at Luo Feng, and swiftly received detailed information about him.“Luo Feng? You’ve cleared the 13th level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge?” The Snake-woman smiled alluringly. “Your Highness Luo Feng, your strength isn’t quite enough yet.”“Enough talk.”The dark gold staff on Luo Feng’s back instantly disintegrated into 10,081 golden miniature swords. In a flash, countless golden lights began to combine with intricate precision, transforming in an instant into a 3.3-meter-long dark gold longsword. This was the Yanshen Blade’s ninth and most perfect form, the 'Immortal Slayer' level.“Whoosh!”The battle began in an instant!…Luo Feng fought his way up from the foot of the Original Sky-Reaching Mountain, successfully defeating the guardians at both the base and mid-slope.“Whoosh~~” Luo Feng, riding his Dark Cloud Shuttle, continuously flew upwards along the towering Original Sky-Reaching Mountain. After a long flight, he finally reached the summit.The summit was shrouded in mist. The Minotaur lay there, snoring like thunder, while the Ape-man drank heartily from a large barrel of fine wine. In the distance, the Snake-woman frolicked in a pool of water. When Luo Feng landed on the summit, the three guardians simultaneously opened their eyes and scrutinized him.The summit challenge was the final and most difficult one.“How many years has it been?” The Snake-woman in the pool sighed, slowly swimming out. She was clad only in a thin veil. Though her lower body was serpentine, her upper body was faintly visible beneath the sheer fabric, a blush discernible, igniting desire in any who beheld her.“Indeed, it’s been far too long,” a deep voice rumbled from the Minotaur.“The three of us were created, and we haven’t been challenged in over a million epochs,” the Ape-man added, standing up.Luo Feng, from a distance, was slightly taken aback.Created?Luo Feng immediately understood. These guardians were likely ‘intelligences’ created by the Virtual Universe system. The Virtual Universe system was incredibly defying of natural laws; it could simulate all sorts of laws and, in places like the Killing Field, it could provide opponents tailored to a cultivator’s requirements!Therefore, creating the guardians for the Heaven, Taichu, and Original Sky-Reaching Mountains was naturally a trivial matter.It was just that these intelligences had existed for so long that some had evolved into ‘intelligent lifeforms,’ imbued with emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.“Luo Feng,” the Snake-woman said, looking at him, her voice soft and meltingly sweet. “Though I’d love to chat more with an outsider like you, we must fulfill our duties and give our all…”“As must I,” Luo Feng replied softly.Boom!The dark gold staff on his back instantly disintegrated and transformed into a dark gold longsword. Simultaneously, scales began to emerge on Luo Feng’s body. In mere moments, he seemed to become a humanoid ‘Beast God,’ having activated the ‘Beast God Transformation’ technique… though he had only mastered the first layer, so its power wasn't overwhelming.“That looks quite impressive,” the Snake-woman smiled.With that smile from the Snake-woman…Luo Feng fell into an illusion. From behind the lean Ape-man, an arc-shaped stream of light instantly shot out, cutting directly towards Luo Feng’s neck, aiming to sever his head.“Break!” Luo Feng’s eyes flashed like lightning, and with a low roar, he instantly shattered the illusion.“Clang!”The dark gold longsword instantly reached its maximum speed, faintly carrying a hint of a beast’s roar. Utterly domineering and savage, it tore through the sky with a 'boom,' colliding with the arc-shaped stream of light. Both the arc-shaped blade light and Luo Feng’s Yanshen Blade trembled simultaneously, then were sent flying back.“My mental force amplification is fully unleashed, combined with the insights from the first layer of the ‘Scale Armor Chapter’ to wield the Yanshen Blade with full power… yet I’m only evenly matched with this Ape-man.” Luo Feng’s expression subtly changed, and he immediately let out a low roar.He then darted like lightning towards the Minotaur.While engaging the Ape-man in close combat, he also controlled the Yanshen Blade to entangle him. As for the Snake-woman… Luo Feng completely ignored her! He was confident that his willpower alone could withstand her illusions.“Haha…” The Minotaur laughed, charging directly at Luo Feng. Each step made the mountain rocks tremble. The bloody great axe in his hand was instantly raised high, causing space to vibrate, and invisible, colossal axe phantoms appeared around him. With a low roar, space itself was cleaved, forming a terrifying rift.A Domain Lord level nine-star strength, effortlessly tearing through cosmic space!“Good,” Luo Feng, transformed into a humanoid Beast God by the ‘Beast God Transformation,’ domineeringly swung his right hand.“Break!!!”Luo Feng seemed as if he wanted to shatter the heavens and earth with a single palm. With one claw strike, a massive, blurry phantom of a Beast God’s claw faintly appeared. This claw… directly slapped the bloody great axe from the side. A roar echoed, and the bloody great axe involuntarily swayed sideways. The Minotaur immediately changed his move… from a vertical chop to a horizontal slash!“Whoosh!” Luo Feng, however, was as fast as lightning.After delivering that claw strike, he immediately lunged forward, his hands actually bracing against the axe head of the great axe, followed by a fierce thrust of his claw!“Sky-Rending Claw!” Luo Feng unleashed his full power for the first time.This claw strike was ferociously unparalleled!With one claw, five spatial rifts instantly appeared. Following this, Luo Feng’s claw tore through the Minotaur’s chest armor, and terrifying claw energy raged within the Minotaur’s body… effortlessly destroying its life core.The Minotaur was dead!“Two left.” Luo Feng, having crushed the Minotaur’s chest, abruptly spun around, looked back, and then pounced forward like a beast.…In truth, once the Minotaur was slain, the outcome of this battle was already decided.“Success.”Luo Feng stood on the summit, looking at the three blurred bodies shrouded in mist. Immediately, the injuries on the three bodies vanished, restoring them to normal. Simultaneously, the Minotaur, Snake-woman, and Ape-man all stood up.“Congratulations, Luo Feng.”“Congratulations on clearing the Original Sky-Reaching Mountain.”The three guardians smiled at Luo Feng. The Snake-woman couldn’t help but ask, “Luo Feng, why have my illusions been ineffective against you?”“Your illusions aren’t strong enough,” Luo Feng replied with a slight smile.Nine hundred years of arduous cultivation in Chaos City, coupled with prolonged solitude, had been an excellent tempering for his state of mind. Over these 900 years… Luo Feng’s willpower had clearly advanced. He had achieved ‘seeing one’s true nature and directly pointing to one’s original mind,’ which was merely the first layer of mental cultivation. However, by constantly pushing his limits and enduring trials, his willpower could continue to improve.With Luo Feng’s unwavering resolve, how could the Snake-woman possibly shake him?…Chaos City, on the rooftop of one of countless cultivation residences.Luo Feng sat cross-legged.“Success,” Luo Feng opened his eyes, a hint of joy in them. “I’ve cleared the Original Sky-Reaching Mountain. This means that once I reach Sector Lord level, I’ll immediately receive a points reward. With those points, my strength will undergo a new leap! I’ll have even greater confidence in my life-and-death trials.”“Mm.”“Chaos City Lord, my teacher, also told me… to seek him out once I reach Sector Lord level.”“Then, I shall break through to Sector Lord now.”Luo Feng closed his eyes……At the same moment.In the Virtual Universe, Thunder Island was bustling. The entire company’s management had just received news—Luo Feng had cleared the Original Sky-Reaching Mountain!“After all this time, our human race finally has a junior who has cleared the Original Sky-Reaching Mountain, and a ‘Domain Lord level’ Original Sky-Reaching Mountain at that.” A tall, slender man with compound eyes, clad in an eerie jade-green combat armor, sat to the side, slowly savoring a cup of fruit wine, clicking his tongue in admiration.“Luo Feng truly lives up to Chaos City Lord’s expectations; his potential is indeed extraordinary,” a bald man in silver robes with green secret patterns on his face smiled, glancing at another person.The three conversing were all Universe Venerable-level powerhouses.All three belonged to the Virtual Universe Company’s internal management. Luo Feng’s previous highest-points mission… had been judged by these very three.“Hmph,” a short man with unruly green hair snorted coldly. “This Luo Feng is bloodthirsty and extremely selfish. What good is strength if he might become a menace in the future? In my opinion, he should have been restricted and his development suppressed long ago!”“We two wouldn’t dare suppress him,” the compound-eyed, eerie man chuckled. “He’s Chaos City Lord’s personal disciple, and Chaos City Lord has always held supreme authority over the entire Virtual Universe Company… I must say, Bo Siwa, you certainly have the guts to try and suppress Chaos City Lord’s disciple.”The short man’s face grew even uglier.The bald man in silver robes beside them suddenly laughed. “Oh, right, I remember that once someone clears the Domain Lord level Original Sky-Reaching Mountain! After Luo Feng becomes a Sector Lord… there’s a reward of 3 billion points, isn’t there?”“Indeed, that’s correct,” the compound-eyed, eerie man nodded.“3 billion points! Luo Feng didn’t have many resources before, yet he progressed so quickly. Once he becomes a Sector Lord… with these 3 billion points, he can purchase numerous treasures as needed, and with Chaos City Lord’s guidance, he’ll likely soar to great heights. He might even become an unparalleled figure comparable to Ke Di.” The bald man in silver robes praised.The compound-eyed, eerie man and the bald man in silver robes played off each other, much to the annoyance of the short man beside them.It wasn’t surprising that these two were now mocking him. The main reason was that during the fourth stage of Luo Feng’s highest-points mission, the three of them had a dispute. The compound-eyed, eerie man and the bald man in silver robes both believed… that a little selfishness was perfectly normal; it would be abnormal if there were none. Furthermore, Luo Feng had dealt with other clan members fairly, so he should be granted a 90%–100% completion rating, and high bonus points.However, the Universe Venerable named Bo Siwa disagreed.He believed Luo Feng was extremely selfish!He hadn’t even judged his own father, clearly showing no regard for the Virtual Universe Company… Such a person, if nurtured, might become a disaster.Under contention…That was the final outcome! The points awarded were neither too high nor too low.“Just wait and see. I told you, this Luo Feng might very well become a menace in the future,” the short man said.“Oh?” The compound-eyed, eerie man and the bald man in silver robes both chuckled.Just as they were conversing—All three simultaneously received a piece of information.The number of Original Secret Sector Lords had risen from 100 to 101. The additional Original Secret Sector Lord… was none other than Luo Feng!“Luo Feng became a Sector Lord?” The compound-eyed, eerie man and the bald man in silver robes both smiled, while the short man’s face remained cold.
