Prototype

With Heavy Arrow King's strength, augmented by the 'Feimo Venom,' and Luo Feng standing afar, casually tossing six 'Sealing Stars' that crashed down—each Sealing Star incredibly heavy. Although Luo Feng didn't unleash the profound mysteries of laws, these six black spheres could at least impede the escape of the two Qiu Jia Hou Race members.

The outcome was self-evident… they quickly perished.

Killing the Black Crow King and the two Qiu Jia Hou Race members yielded significant gains. The Black Crow King's personal treasures were valued at approximately 30 billion mixed yuan units, while the combined treasures of the two Qiu Jia Hou Race members were around 18 billion mixed yuan units.

“It failed again. Alright, time to find the next prey.” Luo Feng mentally contacted the Star Tower, which promptly transmitted a large amount of information for Luo Feng to choose from.

“Good, the target is still a Pinnacle King-level soul master.”

“Star Tower, open a passage.”

Luo Feng gazed into the distance.

Whoosh!

A sudden exit appeared in the dilapidated forbidden space. Luo Feng and Heavy Arrow King immediately entered the spatial exit, following the spatial tunnel to another forbidden space. Within that forbidden space were four powerhouses from the Insectoid Race faction, including an alien Pinnacle King-level soul master.

“I hope it succeeds this time,” Luo Feng silently wished.

…

Three minutes later.

The forbidden space was in ruins, the seawater had vanished, and most of the endless seabed had disappeared into thin air. Luo Feng, clad in silver armor and silver wings, stood high in the sky, with Heavy Arrow King respectfully standing beside him.

“Master, the various treasures are worth approximately 60 billion mixed yuan units,” Heavy Arrow King reported respectfully.

Luo Feng nodded, then shook his head with a sigh, “It failed again!”

“Master, to capture and control powerful soul masters, who have spent countless eons researching illusions and methods of soul control, their understanding of the soul is incredibly profound. For Master to capture them… it requires a bit of luck,” Heavy Arrow King respectfully explained. “However, our gains are also substantial.”

“Killing too many powerhouses will incite public outrage and draw out super powerhouses,” Luo Feng said softly. “So, we must seize the moment.”

“Yes, Master,” Heavy Arrow King's expression tightened.

There are unwritten rules in the universe, though not explicitly stated. For instance, Universe Masters can kill King and Marquis Immortals. If an Immortal dares to provoke a Universe Master… the dignity of a Universe Master is inviolable, and punishment by death is natural! However, Universe Masters cannot indiscriminately slaughter Immortal gods. If they were to go on a rampant killing spree…

It would provoke public outrage, and other Universe Masters would emerge to collectively deal with them!

Similarly, Invincible Kings like Zhenyan King never venture into the outer battlefield. As for Seven Swords King, Talong King, Mingyun King, and others, if they unleashed their trump cards, they could easily kill Pinnacle Marquises or even Limit Kings. Killing one or two times is fine, even ten times is acceptable.

But if the slaughter becomes excessive, it will incite public outrage.

After all, Pinnacle Kings and Limit Kings are elites of their respective races. If too many are slaughtered, the super existences of those races will naturally be enraged!

…

Luo Feng, leading Heavy Arrow King, embarked on a brutal hunting expedition…

On the first day, they fought three times, annihilating all alien enemies. Not a single attempt at control succeeded, but the estimated value of the treasures obtained was around 160 billion mixed yuan units.

On the second day, they fought three times, annihilating all alien enemies. As for soul control? All attempts still failed, but the wealth accumulated reached approximately 210 billion mixed yuan units.

On the third day…

For four consecutive days! A total of 12 battles… all targets chosen were Pinnacle King-level soul masters. The result was that all 12 Pinnacle King-level soul masters perished, with not a single successful capture. Among these 12 waves of targets, nine managed to transmit the information that Daohe King was the killer, while three… died too quickly, unable to send any message even with desperate struggles.

Nine Pinnacle King-level soul masters perished consecutively, and the killer was Daohe King!

Fortunately, the nine who perished belonged to three different factions.

Each faction was hostile to the others, so the news didn't spread too quickly in the short term… but within each of the three factions, the news of Daohe King killing their Pinnacle King-level soul masters spread rapidly.

The Machine Race faction… lost four.

The Monster Race faction… lost two.

The Insectoid Race faction… lost three.

“This Daohe King is truly formidable. Four Pinnacle King-level experts skilled in soul attacks all perished at his hands. I heard he has strong defenses, even able to withstand the explosion of the strongest Fire God Origin Crystal! I never expected him to be so fierce against super experts in soul attacks, killing four! Both physical and soul defenses… are strong. This Daohe King is truly terrifying.”

“The terrifying Daohe King.”

…

The name of Daohe King, after more than 6000 years, spread once again.

Previously, Daohe King was known for his 'strongest Fire God Origin Crystal,' 'Heavy Arrow King servant,' and 'terrifying physical defense,' which made many powerhouses not dare to underestimate him. But it was merely not daring to underestimate him… after all, though he killed many, it seemed Daohe King relied solely on external means.

But this time!

The consecutive deaths of Pinnacle King-level soul masters made 'Daohe King' strike fear into many powerhouses.

Physical attack? Soul attack?

Daohe King could handle both. How could one deal with such a terrifying super powerhouse with virtually no weaknesses?

…

Although his reputation spread, the time was short, so it hadn't become too exaggerated.

…

On the fifth day of Luo Feng's hunt, during his second hunt, within a forbidden space on a scorching isolated island, lay a being that resembled a human, but beneath its armor was a divine body like a crystal diamond, covered in countless small, shattered diamonds—at first glance, it looked like a diamond man! It was lying on the isolated island.

“Buzz~~~”

The soul imprint within the diamond man's entire divine body struggled frantically. However, due to the erosion of the Feimo Venom, its divine body was only 36% intact, severely impacting its strength. And in these past few days… Luo Feng only fought three times a day, each battle lasting a maximum of a few minutes.

So, what was Luo Feng doing the rest of the time?

He was studying the 'Myriad Soul Control Secret Art,' integrating the profound mysteries of laws into it, using it with increasing sophistication. Repeated studies gradually improved Luo Feng's control methods, especially with an initial leap, though it only lasted two days, after which the improvement slowed. But it was still much stronger than during his first hunt.

“Submit!” Luo Feng felt the target's resistance suddenly strengthen, and instead of worrying, he was pleased.

Boom!!!

The endless soul net instantly fully infiltrated.

Success!

“Finally, success.” A hint of pleasant surprise appeared in Luo Feng's eyes. It wasn't easy; he had expended so much effort, and even with the Star Tower's ability to precisely select opponents, it was still this difficult to obtain his first soul master servant.

“Paruowa Race,” Luo Feng said, looking at the diamond man.

The diamond man stood up, his gaze towards Luo Feng filled with reverence from the depths of his soul. At this moment, Luo Feng was the closest being he felt. He immediately bowed respectfully: “Master.”

“Mm,” Luo Feng smiled and nodded, “Heart Refining King.”

Whoosh.

A figure flew from a distance, it was Heavy Arrow King. After landing, Heavy Arrow King respectfully said, “Master, the other two powerhouses have been killed. These are the captured treasures.”

“Hahahahaha…” Luo Feng, uncharacteristically, burst into laughter.

Seeing this, Heavy Arrow King glanced at the 'Heart Refining King' beside him, then immediately said to Luo Feng, “Congratulations, Master, on acquiring Heart Refining King.”

“It wasn't easy, not easy at all. After so much time and effort, it finally succeeded,” Luo Feng laughed heartily. “Fortunately, the Feimo Venom's erosion was extremely strong, causing Heart Refining King to lose too much strength, which allowed me to succeed by chance. With Heart Refining King… acquiring future servants will be much easier.”

With Heart Refining King, Heart Refining King could burn Immortal Divine Power, instantly boosting soul control. This would significantly increase the probability of controlling servants.

“With Heart Refining King, my next target can be Limit Kings,” Luo Feng thought, filled with ambition.

“First, rest. Heart Refining, you should recover your strength.”

Luo Feng took out some treasures he had previously obtained that aided in recovering divine bodies and gave them to Heart Refining King. After all, he had killed many King Immortals before, and several of them had treasures for recovering Immortal divine bodies, clearly intended for use in critical, dangerous moments to quickly restore strength.

Now, however, they were being used by Luo Feng for 'Heart Refining King.'

No choice!

A fully recovered Heart Refining King was most useful to Luo Feng.

…

Everything went as Luo Feng had planned. Once he had Heart Refining King as a servant, the efficiency of his hunting plan significantly increased. The only trouble was preventing enemies from burning their Immortal Divine Power; once an enemy burned their Immortal Divine Power… even if Heart Refining King burned his Immortal Divine Power, controlling them would be difficult.

Previously, without Heart Refining King's help, if an enemy burned their Immortal Divine Power, Luo Feng would directly abandon the capture and choose to kill them instead.

Luo Feng, relying on his Shi Wu Wings and Star Map, could still crush his opponents.

Heavy Arrow King, with his Purple Bell, also feared no opponent burning Immortal Divine Power and could wear them down to death.

…

With Heart Refining King, Luo Feng's capture success rate reached between one-fifth and one-third. Gradually, Luo Feng began to hide himself, instead letting his subordinates act. Two Limit Kings, cooperating with Heart Refining King, and armed with treasures bestowed by Luo Feng—Feimo Venom and Sealing Stars—could begin hunting.

Each appearance of a Sealing Star caused a sensation, and almost every Sealing Star's whereabouts were recorded.

Therefore…

Although Luo Feng bestowed Sealing Stars upon his servants, he strictly forbade them from using the 'suppression and sealing' ability. They were only allowed to shrink the Sealing Star into a crystal ball and throw it! Using a Sealing Star to strike, even without activating its cosmic law-binding power… simply the impact, though far less effective than suppression and sealing, was still quite powerful. After all, in its original design… the Sealing Star was meant to be thrown.

Transformed into a crystal ball, it was merely for striking.

Other powerhouses wouldn't recognize it as a Sealing Star… after all, when a Sealing Star is truly used, it typically grows massive, directly suppressing and sealing the enemy within! But when it's a marble-sized crystal ball used for striking, it's indeed unrecognizable.

“The Sealing Star is connected to the Star Tower.”

“It absolutely cannot be exposed.”

“You, unless I permit it, are absolutely forbidden from using its suppression and sealing ability.” Luo Feng issued a strict order. Not only his soul servants, but even he himself only used its striking ability. Furthermore, Luo Feng absolutely would not give the Sealing Star to others; he only used it himself. Only when necessary would he temporarily bestow it upon a soul servant for use, and it had to be retrieved afterward to prevent the soul servant from being killed and the Sealing Star falling into the hands of other powerhouses.

He didn't even give one to his teacher, Zhenyan King.

After all… the Star Tower was of immense importance; he couldn't gamble with even the slightest risk.

This time, the hunting was taking place within the Star Tower, which was his territory, and everything was under control. Only then did Luo Feng confidently temporarily bestow the Sealing Star upon his soul servants.

…

Undoubtedly.

The hunting results also pleasantly surprised Luo Feng.
