Gathering of Powerhouses

The Dawn Chaos King just fell? The Machine Race faction was stunned, immediately realizing that the renowned Daohe King must possess some extraordinary means, having acquired special weapons from across the cosmos. After all, while Heavy Arrow King was a pinnacle 封王, he couldn't instantly kill a peak 封王. The two curved blades he used must be exceptional, likely terrifying weapons forged from unique materials. “How extravagant.” “This Daohe King's origins are certainly not ordinary.” “He wasn't well-known before, but it's said he obtained the Sealing Star treasure, and suddenly everything changed. The treasure must have been astonishing, enabling him to purchase such luxurious and formidable weapons.” Other powerhouses from the Machine Race faction, including those from the distant Insectoid Race faction, quickly drew their conclusions. Both the Machine Race faction and the Insectoid Race faction immediately elevated their regard for Daohe King. No idiot would dare to casually provoke Luo Feng again. ... Despite this, the Machine Race faction was a gathering of 封王 Immortals, with two Machine Race individuals present. How could they tolerate being bullied? To have a comrade killed and remain silent would be too humiliating. “Daohe King! What is the meaning of this?” demanded one of the two Machine Race individuals, clad in black Combat Armor with slightly greenish skin, who was being flanked by others. Whoosh! Heavy Arrow King had already flown back to Luo Feng's side, appearing very respectful, but no one could forget Heavy Arrow King's ruthless brutality. “Machine Race Immortal!” Luo Feng said coldly, “I have no intention of provoking either your Machine Race faction or the Insectoid Race faction! However, that mere Dawn Chaos King dared to insult me! Hmph… did he truly believe that with a group of allies, I wouldn't dare to act and he could insult me with impunity? He forgot… the dignity of a powerhouse cannot be provoked, cannot be insulted!” “Unless… he possesses sufficient strength. Unfortunately, Heavy Arrow King, under my command, proved one thing: this Dawn Chaos King clearly lacked that strength.” “Since he insulted me, he must be prepared to face my attack.” Luo Feng's gaze swept over the Machine Race faction. “I believe all you 封王 Immortals of the Machine Race faction witnessed everything and understand the reason. If you wish to stand up for this foolish Dawn Chaos King, I will meet your challenge! My true intention… is not to fight with those with whom I have no grievances. Conserving strength to face the imminent emergence of the Sealing Star is paramount. Wasting strength now will only lead to regret later, allowing other powerhouses to take advantage!” The numerous powerhouses of the Machine Race faction couldn't help but glance at the Insectoid Race in front of them. Currently, there were three forces. Luo Feng's was the weakest, the Machine Race was stronger, and the Insectoid Race was the strongest. If the Machine Race faction and Luo Feng clashed fiercely… it was entirely possible for the Insectoid Race to sweep in and finish them off. “Hmph, the emergence of the Sealing Star is most important. I hope you survive this great slaughter,” the leading Machine Race individual sneered. “I hope the same for you,” Luo Feng grinned. Immediately, both sides ceased their verbal sparring. The Insectoid Race faction was secretly disappointed, but this was also expected. ... In the cosmos, super powerhouses whose strength difference isn't too extreme rarely engage in true life-and-death battles. Who would dare without certainty? Who would do it without benefit? With the Dawn Chaos King dead, the Machine Race faction had to make a statement, and Luo Feng gave them an out. Everyone understood the unspoken rules. As for settling scores later? Is that even possible? For a fallen Dawn Chaos King, who would be foolish enough to fight to the death with the Daohe King, who could enslave a pinnacle 封王? On the surface, it was all grand and righteous, but in reality, the core was self-interest. “The world bustles for gain, and the world rushes for profit.” Luo Feng mused, “My Huaxia ancestors saw through everything long ago. Everything is merely about self-interest.” ... The Insectoid Race faction, the Machine Race faction, and Luo Feng with Heavy Arrow King, the three forces entered the next forbidden space. As soon as they entered, they discovered two groups of alien Immortals in the forbidden space, subtly locked in a standoff. One side was the Human Alliance, and the other was the Insectoid Race faction. “Sky Array King.” Luo Feng immediately spotted the three-eyed man with long brown hair and black Combat Armor in the Human Alliance. That was Sky Array King, a peak 封王 powerhouse. However, because he excelled in 'illusion' and 'soul attack,' his threat level was no less than that of a pinnacle 封王. Such experts, proficient in illusion and soul attacks, could threaten even pinnacle 封王 with just a slight burning of Immortal God Power to unleash a soul attack. “Yang.” Sky Array King's eyes lit up. “Qiangwu King.” Luo Feng flew over with Heavy Arrow King and communicated with the alien Immortals in the Human Alliance. Among this group of Human Alliance Immortals, Sky Array King was the only true human; the others were alien races. “Yang.” “Daohe King.” “Daohe King.” The numerous powerhouses of the Human Alliance were particularly astonished when they saw the obedient Heavy Arrow King beside Luo Feng. Everyone had guessed that Heavy Arrow King would be enslaved after being killed and falling into slumber… but for a slumbering Heavy Arrow King to fully recover his strength in such a short time, the cost was so exorbitant that it made these 封王 of the Human Alliance look up in awe and despair! One by one, they became more enthusiastic towards Luo Feng. Those with a relationship called him ‘Yang,’ while those without also enthusiastically called him ‘Daohe King.’ Naturally, this group of Human Alliance powerhouses coalesced around ‘Luo Feng and Sky Array King’ as their core. Meanwhile, on the other side. The two groups of Insectoid Race faction powerhouses had also converged. Sounds of “Skull Needle King,” “Skull Needle King, where is Lord Nan Cheng?” “Skull Needle King…” could be heard. From these words, it was clear that after converging, the leader of the Insectoid Race faction was still the unseen Insectoid Mother Queen Immortal, ‘Nan Cheng’! “Skull Needle King?” Sky Array King frowned slightly. “Skull Needle King has the strongest defense among Nan Cheng's subordinates. If Skull Needle King is here, Nan Cheng must be here too. I didn't expect to encounter Nan Cheng so early.” “If we don't encounter her now, we will eventually,” Luo Feng smiled. “Do you have a plan to deal with Nan Cheng?” Sky Array King asked Luo Feng. “No,” Luo Feng said bluntly. “What about you?” “Absolutely no hope,” Sky Array King also shook his head, equally blunt. “Every Insectoid Mother Queen is a master of soul techniques. Even a pinnacle 封王 like Skull Needle King was controlled and enslaved… she is stronger than me in soul aspects. How could I have any hope?” “Indeed,” Luo Feng nodded. Yes. Insectoid Mother Queen Immortals are terrifying; they are inherently masters of soul techniques and command Immortal Insectoid legions! “The more powerhouses there are, the less threatening the top-tier combatants become,” Sky Array King transmitted. “Right now, Insectoid Mother Queen Nan Cheng is formidable; she alone can deter all other factions. But as the number of powerhouses increases, her threat diminishes significantly. Especially when the Sealing Star emerges, the gathered alien 封王 will be terrifyingly numerous. With such a large number, almost all of them 封王, if even a portion of them combine their attacks, even a Universe Master wouldn't be able to withstand it and would have to avoid it, not daring to confront it head-on.” Luo Feng nodded. A sufficiently large number becomes terrifying. ... Time passed, moving from one forbidden space to another. In each forbidden space, more powerhouses converged, leading to an ever-increasing number of alien Immortals… This scene convinced all powerhouses that ‘the Sealing Star would definitely emerge.’ Only with the emergence of the Sealing Star, and the Star Tower operating, would countless powerhouses continuously gather. “Skull Needle King.” “It's Skull Needle King!” “Skull Needle King is here, so Insectoid Mother Queen Immortal ‘Nan Cheng’ must be here too. That old monster is also coming to snatch the Sealing Star, which further diminishes our hopes.” Although the number of powerhouses was growing, whether it was the Human Alliance, Monster Race faction, or Machine Race faction, the core of their discussions almost always revolved around Skull Needle King and Nan Cheng. Nan Cheng… was undoubtedly the strongest among this bustling crowd of 封王 Immortals. ... Luo Feng was standing with the Immortal Gods of the Human Alliance above a grassland. “Encountering Skull Needle King and killing Dawn Chaos King happened today. We've only passed through nine forbidden spaces, yet over 2600 Immortal Gods from across the cosmos have already gathered.” Luo Feng glanced into the distance. The Machine Race faction had about 600 powerhouses, the Insectoid Race faction about 800, the Monster Race faction about 500, and the Human Alliance about 600. Of the over 2600 alien Immortals, Luo Feng recognized few, but judging by probability— Over 90% were 封王-level! “We haven't even reached our destination, and so many alien Immortals have gathered. How many Immortal Gods will there be when the Sealing Star emerges?” Luo Feng sighed. Humanity, after long ages, had powerful 封王 who had fallen and been revived, yet even so, they only numbered 100,000 封王 Immortals. But looking across the cosmos, with billions of races combined, the number of 封王 was ridiculously high. The Star Tower alone gathering hundreds of thousands of 封王 Immortals already surpassed humanity as a single race. Clearly, a single race couldn't compare to billions of races, even if those billions contributed only a thousandth or ten-thousandth of their forces. However, the reason peak races are powerful… lies more in their peak combat strength! “Buzz~~~” A rift suddenly appeared in the distant space, and a large group of powerhouses streamed in. “It's an entrance,” Luo Feng glanced. “Even more Immortal Gods. Hmm, they seem to be divided into two factions. One is the Insectoid Race faction, and one is my Human Alliance—no, three factions!” Luo Feng's eyes lit up. This wave of newly arrived powerhouses was indeed divided into three factions: the Insectoid Race faction with over 100 powerhouses, the Human Alliance with over 30 powerhouses, and the Monster Race faction with just one! “Xuanmu King!” “Xuanmu King!” “It's Xuanmu King!” The over 2600 powerhouses already present, from various cosmic territories, almost all fixed their gaze on the lone figure who had arrived, a Monster Race faction powerhouse carrying a massive blood-red battle blade on his back. His entire body was covered in blood-red scales, with a head resembling a horned wolf, a green pattern and a blood-red pattern on his face, and nine scaled tails. He trod through the void, his gaze seemingly making space tremble. Although there were over two thousand alien 封王 Immortals present, they all fell completely silent, their aura suppressed by this single powerhouse. Even the Insectoid Race faction, which included Insectoid Mother Queen Immortal ‘Nan Cheng,’ had its aura suppressed in that instant. “Xuanmu King, it's him!” Luo Feng's pupils contracted.
