Seeing Through

The group of weaker bandits, along with the less powerful Luo Feng and Sirius Sibuwa present, watched this scene dumbfounded. The Thousand Treasures River was merely a river projection, vaguely and indistinctly covering the boundless starry sky, yet its overwhelming power was such that even the 'Sirius Hall' could only barely resist it. “This is my first time seeing the Thousand Treasures River; its power is truly boundless and irresistible,” the Green Bandit Venerable exclaimed in a low voice. “Legend says the Thousand Treasures River is formed from a thousand supreme treasures combined. If disassembled, it would be a thousand supreme treasures.” “Disassemble? Who would dare disassemble such a supreme treasure? The Thousand Treasures River was born with its numerous treasures specifically to complement and enhance each other. If disassembled and existing individually, each of these treasures would have flaws, likely possessing only the power of a top-tier heavy treasure. Only when gathered together to form the Thousand Treasures River does it become a supreme treasure capable of dominating the cosmos,” the Purple Bandit Venerable sighed. “You haven't seen the Chaos City Lord's rampant slaughter. The one using the Thousand Treasures River is merely one of the Chaos City Lord's avatars. His true body… is even more powerful than this.” “I've heard that too,” the Green Bandit Venerable nodded repeatedly. “The Chaos City Lord has one avatar guarding the Primal Universe, unmatched in power. Another avatar remains in the Original Universe, overseeing the Virtual Universe Company. His strongest true body, however, is primarily dedicated to slaughter…” Luo Feng, naturally, couldn't hear the conversation between the Green Bandit Venerable and the Purple Bandit Venerable. “Master is truly formidable; just an avatar possesses such power,” Luo Feng thought, watching the endless river projections around him and the 'Sirius Master' struggling to control the Sirius Hall within the Thousand Treasures River's projection. He admired his master even more. “Master Zuoshanke believes that when I become a Universe Master and control the Star Tower, I'll be able to suppress Master Chaos City Lord?” Luo Feng couldn't help but feel his fighting spirit surge. Such power was truly incredible. If the Chaos City Lord willed it, a single thought could likely reduce an area several light-years wide to complete nothingness! “Sirius Master, for someone of your status to try and kill a junior of my human race, it's a bit much,” a colossal figure, tens of thousands of kilometers tall, strode forward, treading the waves of the Thousand Treasures River, a massive stone staff in hand. “This is—” Luo Feng's heart trembled at the sight. It was his first time seeing another of his master's avatars in reality. That colossal body, tens of thousands of kilometers tall, had skin shimmering silver-white. Its head bore countless tentacles, numbering in the thousands. Its eyes, like vast lakes, were remarkably serene, exuding an aura of peace. He walked barefoot on the waves, holding a mottled, scarred stone staff that seemed to have endured countless trials. He wore what appeared to be an ordinary garment, yet subtly embedded within it were thousands of artifacts emitting sounds that pierced the soul. Each thread of the garment resembled a surging river. “This, this, a special life form?” Luo Feng instantly determined. This was definitely a special life form. No race within the human species looked like this, and a height of tens of thousands of kilometers—if it wasn't naturally that tall, deliberately making oneself so tall would only diminish one's strength. “This is the Chaos City Lord,” Sirius Sibuwa was also dumbfounded. Though he didn't want to believe it, he had to admit… the Chaos City Lord clearly had the upper hand over their Sirius race's eternal leader, the 'Sirius Master'. “He actually managed to summon the Chaos City Lord?” Sibuwa glanced at Luo Feng in disbelief. When the Chaos City Lord arrived, wielding the dilapidated stone staff, clad in the Thousand Treasures Robe, and walking barefoot on the waves, the Sirius Master's arrogance was immediately suppressed. “Chaos City Lord, it seems this human junior is indeed highly valued by you, to come in person,” the Sirius Master said, his four hooves planted on the Sirius Hall, his body faintly wreathed in flames, his voice thundering. “You came for that little fellow too, didn't you?” the Chaos City Lord said, looking at the diminutive Sirius Master. In terms of physical size, the two were vastly different, but in terms of invisible pressure… while the Sirius Master was clearly a notch weaker, he was still on the same level. Unlike the Green Bandit Venerable and Purple Bandit Venerable, who had become mere weeds beside them, the Chaos City Lord and Sirius Master didn't even spare them a glance. As for Luo Feng and Sibuwa… they were like two tiny ants beneath the weeds, easily constrained even by the weeds themselves. “I merely happened to pass by,” the Sirius Master, wreathed in flames, suddenly fixed his gaze on Luo Feng. “But you are different. That supreme treasure this human possesses, you must have given it to him, right?” Luo Feng was startled. “Supreme treasure? He has a supreme treasure?” Sirius Sibuwa looked at Luo Feng with even greater shock and astonishment. “Supreme treasure?” The Purple Bandit Venerable and Green Bandit Venerable also looked at Luo Feng in shock. They had no idea… that Luo Feng actually possessed a supreme treasure. “Let me check,” the Sirius Master's voice boomed. “Daohe King? Haha… interesting, very interesting. I never imagined a Sector Lord, relying on a supreme treasure to conceal his aura and masquerade as an Immortal, could achieve such renown. This disciple of yours is in no way inferior to the fallen Ke Di. Let me guess what supreme treasure he uses to conceal his aura… Hmm, intelligence reports say Daohe King's speed is incredibly fast, ridiculously so? It seems these wings are very likely the supreme treasure. Chaos City Lord, tell me, am I correct in my guess?” The Purple Bandit Venerable, Green Bandit Venerable, and Sirius Sibuwa were completely stunned. A Sector Lord? He's actually just a Sector Lord? “A Sector Lord could actually escape safely from Silver Eye?” Sibuwa was bewildered. “A supreme treasure, it must be a supreme treasure that makes him so powerful.” “Truly formidable! No wonder Zuoshanke is cultivating and honing this junior. Zuoshanke is one of the universe's strongest, and those he values are indeed extraordinary. To possess such strength and achieve such renown at the Sector Lord level,” the Purple Bandit Venerable and Green Bandit Venerable sighed with emotion. If they had known earlier that Luo Feng possessed a supreme treasure, they would certainly have been tempted, but even with temptation, they wouldn't dare try to seize it. Luo Feng was shocked internally, glancing at the Sirius Master before the palace. “Master Zuoshanke was right. My three supreme treasures—the Tower Pearl, Star Chart, and Wu God Wings—have never been revealed. As long as I don't unleash overly terrifying power, even the universe's strongest won't recognize them. My speed is somewhat astonishing, so did that arouse suspicion?” “However, the Sirius Master is indeed formidable.” “He saw through me as a Sector Lord with a single glance. It seems a supreme treasure concealing my aura can only deceive Universe Venerables.” Luo Feng wasn't surprised. Both Senior Brother Puti and Zuoshanke had seen through him as a Sector Lord instantly. The method of concealing one's aura with a supreme treasure wasn't omnipotent. The Chaos City Lord's voice boomed: “What's wrong with bestowing an ordinary supreme treasure upon an outstanding junior of my human race? Of course, outstanding juniors within the clan must be provided with sufficient resources for cultivation, so that enough super-beings can emerge. My human race has fewer Immortal Gods than yours, yet we have slightly more top-tier existences than your demon race. Why is that? It's because we are willing to give, and you are not. You must give to gain, haha. Sirius Master, are you willing to bestow a supreme treasure upon this little Sirius under your command?” Sirius Sibuwa's heart trembled upon hearing this. Supreme treasure? Could he also obtain a supreme treasure? He couldn't help but glance at the Sirius Master, then immediately lowered his head, not daring to look. Such a supreme treasure could only be bestowed by the Sirius Master; he had no right to demand it. “The only reason your human race is powerful is because of the Virtual Universe! Who among the myriad races of the cosmos doesn't know this?” the Sirius Master's voice thundered. “As for how I cultivate the descendants of my Sirius race, it's none of your concern. Today… I don't wish to speak further with you, so I'll take my leave.” He immediately took Sibuwa and entered the Sirius Hall. “Hahaha…” The Chaos City Lord, however, laughed. His laughter mingled with the Thousand Treasures River, causing the river to ripple and the Sirius Hall to sway precariously. “Hmph.” A low snort came from within the Sirius Hall. Immediately, the Sirius Hall transformed into a streak of light, soaring through the void. Only after reaching light speed did it enter the dark universe. Clearly, within the Thousand Treasures River's expansive reach… even the Sirius Master, relying on the power of the 'Sirius Hall,' couldn't instantly teleport away. “This Sirius is still as arrogant as ever,” the Chaos City Lord shook his head, then looked at the Purple Bandit Venerable and Green Bandit Venerable. “Gentlemen, thank you for looking after my human junior these past two millennia,” the Chaos City Lord said. Then, taking Luo Feng, he vanished into thin air, and the endless phantom of the Thousand Treasures River also dissipated. “Thank you?” The Green Bandit Venerable was somewhat bewildered. “The Chaos City Lord actually thanked us? Really? Weren't the rumors that the Chaos City Lord is incredibly overbearing? Why does he seem so good-tempered to me?” “Good-tempered?” The Purple Bandit Venerable scoffed, “You haven't seen the Chaos City Lord's scenes of slaughter. The Sirius Master, being inherently arrogant, dared to speak a few more words, but didn't you notice that he also quickly scurried away after just a few sentences, suffering a hidden loss and merely snorting without saying more? Among the five great human factions… the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Martial Arena stand side by side. As the authority figure of the Virtual Universe Company, how could the Chaos City Lord command respect with just a good temper? If he were merely good-tempered, how could his true body be renowned for slaughter?” The Green Bandit Venerable blinked. “Be careful. Among the top existences of the six pinnacle races, which one isn't ruthless? If necessary, they could easily wipe us out with a flick of their hand,” the Purple Bandit Venerable said in a low voice. “Understood,” the Green Bandit Venerable nodded repeatedly. After one God Kingdom teleportation and one million-light-year instantaneous shift, the Chaos City Lord brought Luo Feng to one of the 'Primal Secret Regions' among the many cosmic secret regions within human territory. Deep within the Primal Secret Region. The Thousand Treasures Robe draped over the Chaos City Lord immediately flew up, instantly transforming into an endless, surging river that encircled the surrounding starry sky, heavily enveloping the continuous cluster of palaces. “A river,” Luo Feng murmured, looking at the river that stretched across the starry sky, its end nowhere in sight. “The Thousand Treasures River can manifest in countless forms; this vast river is its true appearance,” the Chaos City Lord said, pointing to the endless Thousand Treasures River. “Luo Feng, your master was able to easily intimidate and suppress the Sirius Master precisely because of this Thousand Treasures River. Such supreme treasures are also pillars of my human race! Your fortune is good; perhaps in the future, you too will obtain a supreme treasure comparable to the Thousand Treasures River.” “This disciple will certainly strive,” Luo Feng replied immediately.
