Ice Prison

“Zidoukui Venerable!” Luo Feng cursed inwardly. He was still one step behind, and now he was in trouble.

Luo Feng bowed slightly in respect: “Greetings, Zidoukui Venerable!”

“Little fellow, you are truly impressive.” Zidoukui Venerable looked at Luo Feng, a faint smile playing on her lips. “To be able to trick a Universe Venerable into running around in circles, making him waste a trip.”

“No matter how impressive, I couldn’t escape Zidoukui Venerable’s pursuit.” Luo Feng shook his head, then looked at Zidoukui Venerable curiously. “May I ask, Zidoukui Venerable, if you could enlighten me? Qingdoukui Venerable was already diverted by me, so how did Zidoukui Venerable find me here?”

Zidoukui Venerable watched Luo Feng with interest. She hadn’t expected the mastermind behind the theft of that rather useless ‘black metal plate’ to be conversing so freely in front of her, as if talking to an elder. Was this little fellow not worried at all? Not worried that she might kill him? Not worried that she might enslave his soul?

“Zidoukui Venerable.” Luo Feng felt a little unnerved by her gaze.

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you, or enslave you?” Zidoukui Venerable asked.

“I’ve already fallen to this point, and I can’t resist. What good would fear do?” Luo Feng replied.

“Interesting.”

Zidoukui Venerable smiled. “You, little fellow, sent a Demon Killer Clan subordinate to steal… and it was only to steal a useless metal plate of special material. Although that black metal plate is special, it’s completely useless. Talasha has the Ice Prison Star Stone, yet you didn’t steal the ‘Ice Prison Star Stone,’ but instead stole a useless black metal plate. How interesting, how interesting.”

“Mainly, my subordinate is useless, with limited vision, knowing too little about treasures in the universe. Seeing the black metal plate and finding it special, he concluded it was a treasure and stole it back,” Luo Feng shook his head. “Perhaps he also knew… that the Ice Prison Star Stone would definitely be more heavily guarded, and he wouldn’t have been confident in stealing it.”

“He is very clever. If he had gone to steal Talasha’s Ice Prison Star Stone… then Talasha would immediately suspect he was a fake Beifa.” Zidoukui Venerable nodded. “I obtained this black metal plate by chance back then, but after some research, no one discovered its use, so it was passed around among my clansmen as a plaything, eventually ending up with Talasha, casually placed there.”

Luo Feng was stunned.

A plaything?

Indeed, this black metal plate carried the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, and under the restrictions of the universe’s operational laws, only he could use it. For others, they couldn’t obtain the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual from it, nor could they use it for anything else. Perhaps even the two Venerables didn’t recognize the special material of the black metal plate, naturally treating it as a plaything.

“May I ask, Zidoukui Venerable, if you could release me? I am willing to atone for this act.” Luo Feng bowed slightly. This wasn’t his wishful thinking, but based on the information collected by the Virtual Universe Company… Zidoukui Venerable and Qingdoukui Venerable were both very fond of treasures. There were indeed cases where captured alien races had their subordinates send treasures to redeem them, and it had succeeded.

“Release you?” Zidoukui Venerable looked at Luo Feng with interest. “Very well, that black metal plate is also a plaything, so I’ll sell it to you incidentally. However, the price of atonement won’t be small.”

“Please name your price, Zidoukui Venerable.” Luo Feng’s heart rejoiced.

There were precedents for being redeemed, and he hadn’t expected to be so lucky, even the black metal plate wasn’t being reclaimed.

“Given your methods and background, which are quite extraordinary, the price would naturally be even—” Zidoukui Venerable’s expression suddenly darkened. She glanced at Luo Feng and said in a low voice, “Little fellow, you actually forced Qingdoukui Venerable to burn a bit of his immortal divine body. You’ve clearly angered him. It seems releasing you won’t do.”

Luo Feng’s expression changed slightly. He naturally knew that Qingdoukui Venerable was furious because of the Demon Killer Clan clone.

“Come with me!” Zidoukui Venerable stopped wasting words with Luo Feng. An invisible spatial fluctuation swept around them.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After three consecutive instantaneous teleports, each spanning over a thousand light-years, when the scenery before Luo Feng finally stabilized, he had arrived on an incredibly cold planet… Luo Feng looked around. It was a vast, endless icy planet, and in the sky, he could see other Ice Prison Stars.

“This is on an Ice Prison Star, and it should be a super-large one, the residence of either Zidoukui Venerable or Qingdoukui Venerable,” Luo Feng thought to himself.

“Where’s the spaceship?” Luo Feng realized he had been inside a spaceship, but now it was gone. “It seems the biological spaceship was also taken away.”

Boom!

A powerful aura appeared in mid-air, looking down at Luo Feng. It was none other than Qingdoukui Venerable.

“Haha… you’ve really lost face this time,” Zidoukui Venerable said with a laugh.

“Hmph, this human.” Qingdoukui Venerable landed and stared at Luo Feng. “Did you arrange that Demon Killer Clan member? Where is the Demon Killer Clan’s true body? To dare seek death so easily, it certainly wasn’t his true body.”

“Qingdoukui Venerable, that Demon Killer Clan’s true body is my friend,” Luo Feng respectfully said. “I asked his Demon Killer Clan clone to help me this one time. I already owe him a favor, how could I expose him?”

Zidoukui Venerable interjected, “Foolish. You should just say he’s a special individual, for example, your friend is the disciple of the Axe Creator, or the disciple of the Chaos City Lord… In short, a disciple of one of your human race’s super existences. Let’s see if he dares to seek revenge.” Zidoukui Venerable said with a teasing smile.

“Hmph.” Qingdoukui Venerable glared at Luo Feng. “Hateful! Too hateful! Killing you like this would be letting you off too easily…”

Suddenly—

In the distance above, space rippled. Dozens of figures continuously warped through space, either Doukui or Zidoukui, all beautiful and exotic, swooping down one after another. And there were more and more, with space constantly rippling as they appeared.

“Is this the one who impersonated me?” Beifa stared at Luo Feng.

“The one who impersonated you has already been killed. This is the mastermind,” Qingdoukui Venerable said in a low voice.

“Leader is so amazing! Not only did you kill that imposter alien, but you also caught the mastermind,” Beifa exclaimed excitedly. The group of World Lords beside him also looked at Luo Feng with excitement, as if he were a rare item. These Doukui… were harmonious with each other, and they didn’t show the usual fear of a World Lord towards a Universe Venerable when addressing their leader, but rather a respect akin to that for a grandparent.

“Leader, you killed that alien, and that alien even held my hand,” Yawu seemed a little unhappy.

“That was an alien imposter!” Beifa quickly interjected. “I am the real Beifa!”

“I know,” Yawu quickly replied.

Hundreds of Doukui were in an uproar, while Talasha stared at Luo Feng, a murderous intent in her eyes. Clearly, she was very displeased at having been deceived by Luo Feng’s Demon Killer Clan clone earlier.

“Two Leaders, how should we deal with this alien human?” Talasha asked. Immediately, Yawu, Beifa, and the large group of Doukui around them all looked at the two Leaders.

Qingdoukui Venerable looked at Zidoukui Venerable beside him.

Zidoukui Venerable smiled: “You seem very angry. You decide.”

“Hmph.” Qingdoukui Venerable stared at Luo Feng. “He needs to be slowly dealt with. Talasha… you personally escort him, take him to the Ice Prison!”

“Yes!”

“Wow, the Ice Prison?”

“This alien is going to be unlucky.”

“The Ice Prison is opening again.”

Other World Lord Doukui cheered.

Luo Feng’s expression was grim, but he thought to himself: “The Ice Prison? Just as I expected. As long as they don’t kill me… they’ll definitely imprison me in the Ice Prison. Hmm, I still have a chance. There’s no need to call my teacher, Chaos City Lord, yet.”

Why was this region called the Ice Prison Star Belt?

Why weren’t these cold planets called Ice Cold Stars, or other names, but ‘Ice Prison Stars’? With the character ‘prison’ in their name?

It was precisely because the entire Ice Prison Star Belt had a legendary place… the ‘Ice Prison.’ According to the information Luo Feng had obtained, this ‘Ice Prison’ was a special, large-scale supreme treasure similar to a Sealing Star, used to imprison and suppress powerful individuals. This supreme treasure was controlled by one of the two Universe Venerables.

“Let’s go.” Talasha and two other super-strong Doukui stared at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng didn’t resist.

He obediently allowed himself to be escorted. It was no joke; Talasha and the two other immortal Doukui were among the top ten strongest Doukui. Each of them possessed a basic divine body strength of tens of millions of times that of a World Lord, plus body amplitude, mental force amplitude, and other techniques… These three, each had strength comparable to Zhenyan King!

This was the power of special lifeforms! Their foundation was far superior to humans, and these three were the most outstanding among the immortal Doukui, naturally making them formidable.

The Demon Killer Clan clone’s escape earlier was due to two reasons: first, soul attacks were ineffective against the Demon Killer Clan, and second, the Demon Killer Clan’s teleportation… even Zhenyan King couldn’t pursue them. Only a Universe Venerable who mastered the entire spatial law could pursue and kill a strong individual escaping via teleportation.

…

In the dark universe.

A spaceship was slowly flying. Inside the control room stood Tianzhen King.

Inside Tianzhen King’s World Ring.

“Whoosh!” The Golden Horn Behemoth’s massive body was coiled there, and at this moment, a Demon Killer Clan clone was being nurtured within its inner world.

Whoosh!

Black-Clothed Luo Feng appeared beside it.

“Master.” Overturn Water King and many other strong individuals respectfully saluted.

“Fortunately, I had a backup plan,” Black-Clothed Luo Feng whispered. “I knew that the training arranged by that alien great being might not be so easy, so my vital ‘original core’ absolutely couldn’t have any accidents. After all, once I fall, even if my teacher Chaos City Lord revives me by reversing time… I probably wouldn’t possess the Star Tower and other supreme treasures, and I would also lose the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.”

There was one prerequisite for implementing his many plans—the safety of the original core must be guaranteed.

Therefore—

When the Demon Killer Clan clone acted, the Earthling original body had separated from the Golden Horn Behemoth clone. The Golden Horn Behemoth clone, carrying the original core, along with Tianzhen King and others, was flying in a spaceship through the dark universe.

“No matter how my many plans collapse, at least the original core is safe.”

“The Earthling original body has the Pagoda Pearl guarding its soul, so it’s impossible to be soul-controlled. If it were subjected to a forceful attack, for the sake of the many supreme treasures on the Earthling original body, I would have to call my teacher, Chaos City Lord.” Black-Clothed Luo Feng thought to himself. “But there’s no need for that now. It seems those two haven’t discovered that I possess supreme treasures; instead, they’re going to imprison me in the Ice Prison.”
