Teacher Talasha

Outside that star belt river, Luo Feng concealed himself in the void, his consciousness connected to the Virtual Universe. In Luo Feng's manor within the Yuxiang Mountain Primeval Region of the Virtual Universe. "It has entered Ice Prison Star," Luo Feng said, sitting at his desk, watching the laptop screen in front of him. The screen displayed a video of the Demon Snail Monkey's synchronized transmission. "Now it's all up to you, Demon Snail Monkey. I don't know where the black metal plate is hidden on Ice Prison Star," Luo Feng murmured, watching. ...... On the surface of Ice Prison Star, the cold was biting. The Demon Snail Monkey landed on the ground. "So cold," the Demon Snail Monkey muttered, looking around. Its miniature detector also scanned the surroundings. "My master's master wants me to find some black metal plate. Where is it?" This Ice Prison Star, with a diameter of about 8,000 kilometers, had nothing but barrenness on its surface, save for wide passages leading directly into its depths. "Choose one." The Demon Snail Monkey randomly selected a passage and quietly flew inside, relying on its miniature detector to scan. The deeper it went, the colder it became. After flying for about three thousand kilometers, the Demon Snail Monkey finally reached the end. "Whoa, the depths of this Ice Prison Star are actually... a palace?" The Demon Snail Monkey blinked, looking at the sight before it. It was a majestic, crystal-clear palace, over a thousand kilometers tall, forged entirely from mottled purple-blue ice. A terrifying aura permeated the palace. "There's a terrifying powerhouse inside," the Demon Snail Monkey gritted its teeth. "Master's master, what should I do now?" the Demon Snail Monkey asked Luo Feng through the Virtual Universe. "Now, activate the large detector, and simultaneously control the large probe to cover the entire Ice Prison Star, but avoid that palace! Thoroughly scan all other areas except the palace," Luo Feng commanded. "Yes, master's master." The Demon Snail Monkey obeyed without hesitation, immediately activating the large detector. *Buzz!* The large probe quickly swept across Ice Prison Star, scanning all areas except the palace at the planet's core. All information was naturally transmitted to Luo Feng via the Virtual Universe. ...... Luo Feng watched the laptop screen, frowning at everything. "Ice Prison Star is very similar to a Zerg hive," Luo Feng said softly. "The entire Ice Prison Star, apart from the palace, has no treasures in any other area; it's all ice. Without a doubt... the black metal plate is in that palace!" "Demon Snail Monkey!" "Deactivate the large detector, activate the miniature detector, and enter that palace," Luo Feng instructed. "Yes, master." ...... The Demon Snail Monkey felt the powerful aura within the palace, but it would never disobey Luo Feng's command. It cautiously began to enter through the palace gates. The palace was vast and empty; not a single living being could be seen. "It's really cold." The Demon Snail Monkey slowly flew deeper into the palace, not daring to fly too fast, fearing it might attract the attention of the powerhouse within. "Where is it? Where is the black metal plate?" The Demon Snail Monkey searched repeatedly with its miniature detector. As it flew past the threshold of the inner hall— An invisible fluctuation spread throughout the entire palace. "An outsider!" An angry roar echoed, and at the same time, a purple streak of light appeared almost instantly in front of the Demon Snail Monkey. "Not good," the Demon Snail Monkey exclaimed in alarm. "Activate the large detector, scan the entire palace, then escape," Luo Feng urgently commanded from the Virtual Universe. The Demon Snail Monkey immediately activated the large detector, disregarding everything else, and its speed soared to its limit as it fled. "Still trying to escape!" The purple figure pointed at the Demon Snail Monkey from afar. A wisp of purple light shot from its crystal-clear finger, striking the Demon Snail Monkey. *Crack, crack, crack*—a layer of ice rapidly condensed on the Demon Snail Monkey, turning it entirely into a massive block of ice. As for the Demon Snail Monkey within the ice, it was motionless, all its soul imprints disintegrated by the freezing cold. Thus, it perished. In truth, the Demon Snail Monkey had already effectively perished when it became a soul slave. Such was the law of the jungle in the universe. "Hmph," the powerful purple figure snorted coldly. "These outsiders, every single one of them wants to get the Ice Prison Star Stone and Ice Prison Green Dew. A mere Marquis-level Undying dares to come here? Become an ice sculpture!" With a wave of its hand. A current of air carried the Demon Snail Monkey's frozen corpse directly to a corner of the inner hall. In that corner, there were already over a dozen ice sculptures, all Undying Beings from other races who had dared to venture here over the long ages, only to be frozen into statues and perish. ...... Virtual Universe. Luo Feng sat at his desk, meticulously reviewing the final large detector's findings of everything within the palace. "This palace actually contains an Ice Prison Star Stone," Luo Feng said, looking at the screen where a fingernail-sized, transparent purple stone had been detected. "The black metal plate... is hidden in a different location. Thankfully, it's not with the Ice Prison Star Stone," Luo Feng mused. This Ice Prison Star Belt held two cosmic-renowned special treasures, prompting desperate or daring powerhouses to gamble their lives here. Succeeding in stealing even one would truly change their fortunes! These two universally famous treasures were the 'Ice Prison Star Stone' and the 'Ice Prison Green Dew'. Only blue-green Doukou could expend endless effort to create the 'Ice Prison Green Dew', while purple Doukou could painstakingly produce the 'Ice Prison Star Stone'. Both were extremely expensive materials with unique and miraculous effects. The fingernail-sized Ice Prison Star Stone stored in the palace alone was worth around 2 trillion mixed yuan units. "What a treasure." "But the more precious the treasure, the more dangerous its location," Luo Feng shook his head. "The Ice Prison Star Belt is one of the six most perilous places in the Wuhua Secret Realm. Especially the two Universe Masters of the Doukou race in the Ice Prison Star Belt, their strength is immense, they are powerhouses among Universe Masters, likely comparable to the Sky Eclipse Palace Master." "My teacher, the great outsider being, this test truly won't allow me to cut corners." "That inner hall of the palace has clearly been refined by that Undying Doukou, like a weapon. Once a powerhouse enters the inner hall... the super powerhouse guarding it will immediately sense them," Luo Feng frowned. "If I want to obtain the black metal plate, I must enter the inner hall, and entering the inner hall means I will definitely be discovered." ...... Luo Feng remained hidden in the void, gazing at the vast star belt river in the distance, and at the Ice Prison Stars even further away. "Enter the inner hall, and I will definitely be discovered." "It's a dead end!" Luo Feng frowned. His gaze fell upon the star belt river, recalling the three Sector Lord-level Doukou he had seen earlier. With a thought, Demon Killer Luo Feng appeared out of thin air beside him. Demon Killer Luo Feng's body shimmered with a black current of energy, transforming him entirely into a 3.6-meter tall blue-green Doukou, exuding a chilling aura. "Innate Secret Technique—Replication!" His life aura rapidly changed, becoming identical to one of the blue-green Doukou he had previously observed. "As long as they don't penetrate and investigate the Demon Killer clone's body, they absolutely won't find any flaws. Among many plans... this is the safest and most likely to succeed. I hope it works." Both the Earthling true body and the Demon Killer clone looked towards the distant Ice Prison Star. Immediately, the Demon Killer clone transformed into a streak of light. ...... His speed rapidly soared. Demon Killer Luo Feng possessed the Sky-Reaching Bridge's 20th-level comprehension, allowing him to completely suppress ordinary Marquis-level Undyings in combat power. His extremely high comprehension of laws also enabled him to easily reach light speed. *Whoosh!* His body performed cosmic teleportation! ...... Just a moment later. In a cosmic space approximately 6 million kilometers from Ice Prison Star, Demon Killer Luo Feng appeared out of thin air. At this moment, he was entirely in the form of a blue-green Doukou, with an identical life aura. Naturally, he openly flew directly towards Ice Prison Star. Luo Feng wouldn't be foolish enough to try to conceal himself with a detector. "Beifa, Beifa." A voice directly sounded in the Demon Killer clone's ear. "Hm?" Demon Killer Luo Feng was startled and turned his head. He saw a streak of light flying from afar, revealing a purple Doukou, 3.2 meters tall, appearing slightly more petite than Demon Killer Luo Feng. It excitedly said, "Beifa, have you also heard that Teacher Talasha froze an outsider?" "Uh... I just came to pay my respects to Teacher Talasha," Demon Killer Luo Feng said quickly, his heart stirring. Fortunately, the Doukou's language was the common universal language of the Demon Race in the cosmos. In fact, due to their scarcity, special life forms generally used outsider languages. Luo Feng clearly knew this universal language, and he had also heard the voice of the blue-green Doukou he had transformed into. "Come on, let's go see Teacher Talasha together," the purple Doukou said, pulling Luo Feng's hand and flying directly downwards. Luo Feng could only let the other party pull him along. A blue-green Doukou and a purple Doukou... flew downwards together. Luo Feng had made ample preparations before coming and knew that the special life forms, the Doukou, had extremely strong bonds. They were special life forms, naturally possessing infinite lifespans! While life forms that could reproduce generation after generation had to become Undying to achieve eternal life. Their long lifespans made them deeply attached to one another... They valued every clan member. If even one clan member died, even a small Sector Lord-level individual, it would provoke the wrath of all Doukou! Even the two Universe Masters would hunt down the killer. However, many adventurous outsider powerhouses still killed quite a few Doukou when they came. ...... Demon Killer Luo Feng and the purple Doukou, holding hands, flew directly into the depths along the passages of Ice Prison Star, quickly reaching the ice palace. "Teacher Talasha, Teacher Talasha," the purple Doukou called out, pulling Luo Feng directly towards the inner hall of the palace. Luo Feng could only brace himself. Soon, they flew into the dangerous inner hall. At the same time, a figure emerged—it was the very powerhouse who had killed the Demon Snail Monkey earlier. "Yawu, Beifa, you two have arrived," Talasha said with a smile, completely devoid of her previous ferocity and ruthlessness, instead radiating warmth. But Luo Feng knew clearly... this warmth was for her companions. If she were to discover his true identity, Talasha would undoubtedly strike him down without mercy. "Where's that outsider?" Yawu quickly asked, simultaneously looking towards the ice sculptures in the inner hall. Demon Killer Luo Feng also pretended to look around, then gazed at the ice sculptures. "It's a Demon Snail Monkey from the Demon Race, roughly Marquis-level strength," Talasha said, pointing towards the ice sculpture in the distance. Yawu, still holding Luo Feng's hand, darted towards the ice sculpture. Luo Feng followed her, stopping before the 'Demon Snail Monkey' ice sculpture. "Whoa, a Demon Snail Monkey... this is my first time seeing one in person," Yawu's eyes sparkled. "Beifa, you used to be so talkative. Why are you so quiet today when you see me?" The purple figure took a step and was behind Luo Feng, affectionately stroking Luo Feng's hundreds of small braids.
