Purple Thorn Island was enveloped by endless, colorful auroras, with light circles demonstrating the profound mysteries of the universe's fundamental laws constantly spreading above. Palaces of various races dotted Purple Thorn Island. On one such palace, adorned with ancient sword carvings, the palace gates suddenly opened, and a figure emerged. He wore purple battle armor, with seven battle sword imprints on his brow, appearing entirely like a battle sword himself, his eyes as sharp as blades. “Seven Swords King, your human Daohe King is quite remarkable.” “Seven Swords King, have you challenged him yet?” From a distance, two dark, squat, chimpanzee-like alien powerhouses called out. Seven Swords King held some renown on Purple Thorn Island, primarily because he had acquired a treasure in the Treasure Land—a place where a super existence within the Ancestral God Sect had left their legacy! While his combat prowess in the Glory World might be average, in reality, with his 'Seven Swords Legacy' and 'Beast God Powerhouse Legacy'—which countless powerhouses envied—he would be terrifying if he unleashed his full power. His life-saving ability, in particular, was incredibly heaven-defying, a stroke of luck that even many human powerhouses envied. The Seven Swords Legacy alone made him and Mengsui King the two most重点培养 (heavily nurtured) Immortal geniuses of their generation. And the legacy left by the Beast God powerhouse elevated his actual status within the human race above Mengsui King. However, many alien races were unaware of the true nature of his treasure, as Seven Swords King had kept it highly confidential. Even the peak race, the Machine Race, only knew that he must have obtained some kind of legacy… The Treasure Land contained numerous treasures left by the Beast Gods, Guardian Beast Gods, and ultimate Beast God cultivators of the Ancestral God Sect. As for what these treasures were, it was hard to say. They weren't necessarily related to the path of the Beast God. For instance, if Luo Feng were to achieve a high status in the future, he could still place some unused treasures he incidentally acquired in the Treasure Land for future inheritors. This meant that, apart from Seven Swords King, the high-ranking members of the human race, and the Ancestral God Sect, other factions were unaware of the astonishing extent of Seven Swords King's actual gains. Otherwise, Mingyun King would not have been sent to assassinate him. “Haha, he’s also human. So many alien powerhouses are challenging him; why would I challenge him?” Seven Swords King’s eyes flashed with sword light as he laughed. “By the way, do you know how many challenges this Daohe King has accepted?” “If you don’t know, how would we? We only know… at least tens of thousands.” The two alien powerhouses then took a single step, covering thousands of kilometers, and quickly vanished into the distance. “Tens of thousands of matches?” Seven Swords King stood before the palace, muttering softly, “Daohe King, the most remarkable peerless genius of the human race? Daohe King… I won’t easily admit defeat!” After his gains in the Treasure Land, he had considered himself to have surpassed Mengsui King, becoming the most outstanding of his generation, but now Daohe King had appeared. “Back on the Outer Territory Battlefield, when we were contending for the Sealing Star, you were so inconspicuous that I didn’t even notice you. I never imagined your true identity was a Sector Lord. Knowing you’re frantically accepting challenges, I want to see you, to truly observe for the first time, what kind of genius my human race has produced, one whom even my teacher believes surpasses me.” Seven Swords King thought silently, “I don’t know if you’re truly confident or just insane, to have accepted over ten thousand challenges. You’ll soon understand… the inheritors here are all peerless geniuses. Even I am only considered average in the Glory World. The cruel reality will soon awaken you.” … In the core of the Ancestral God Sect, within one of the Eight Directions Beast God Temples, the Thunder Beast God Temple, the entire temple appeared from the outside as a majestic, dazzling palace over a hundred million kilometers tall. Yet, in reality, the palace contained a dimension within. Within this dimension, rivers, mountains, ice, and deserts stretched everywhere. Deep within the endless mountain ranges. “Roar~~~” “Whoosh~~~” Like breathing. Each ‘roar’ would fill the dimension, spanning over a light-year in diameter, with thunder and lightning, as endless bolts of lightning streaked across. And each ‘whoosh’ would cause fierce winds to howl throughout the dimension, destroying countless mountains, severing rivers, and sending sand flying wildly into the sky across deserts… Fortunately, there were no other living beings in the entire dimension. “To interrupt my slumber.” A booming voice echoed throughout the dimension. Several mountain peaks within the endless ranges were directly pushed up, and a massive Beast God, over a hundred thousand kilometers long, with three hooves, wings, and a body covered in cyan fur, stood up. Each step caused the earth to tremble and mountains to collapse. “The Ancestral God also makes me manage the trivial matters of the sect.” “The other seven Beast Gods are all lazy, who knows where they’ve gone. Only I am left here for a full 100 million epochs. Ugh, how long have I slept? Only 30 million epochs, do I still have to remain here for another 70 million epochs before I can leave?” The massive Beast God, covered in fur, moved, and the dimension trembled. “Come in!” The Thunder Beast God finally spoke. The dimension of the Beast God Temple opened, and the Divine General, who had been waiting outside, immediately entered. “Bloodfire Divine General greets the Beast God.” Bloodfire Divine General streaked across the sky, then landed on a mountain peak, respectfully addressing the Beast God, who was far larger than the mountains in the distance. “I told you, don’t disturb my slumber unless it’s a truly important matter.” The Thunder Beast God exhaled a stream of air from its nostrils, instantly vaporizing the surrounding mountains. More lightning bolts appeared out of thin air in the sky, seemingly expressing the Thunder God’s wrath. Bloodfire Divine General bowed respectfully: “Beast God, it is an important matter.” Bloodfire Divine General was also helpless. The Ancestral God Sect’s operations had long been systematized, and many matters could be resolved by the Divine Generals themselves. Especially since the Beast Gods were lazier than the last, seemingly unwilling to manage affairs, or even to connect their consciousness to the Glory World, as splitting their consciousness apparently made them very unhappy. “Speak.” The Thunder Beast God looked down at the tiny ‘Bloodfire Divine General.’ Having inherited the position of Divine General, Bloodfire Divine General was absolutely capable of contending with an ordinary Universe Master. As for the Thunder Beast God… once they inherited the Beast God Venerable position, their strength became even greater. “We have discovered a cosmic genius worthy of cultivation by our Ancestral God Sect,” Bloodfire Divine General quickly said. “A cosmic genius? You interrupted my slumber for this?” Thunder and lightning continuously flashed in the Thunder Beast God’s eyes. “Because he, as a Sector Lord, can kill a peak Undying King,” Bloodfire Divine General quickly replied. “Hmm? A powerful special life form?” The Thunder Beast God’s eyes lit up. The Ancestral God Sect also needed to cultivate powerhouses, like Zhuchong King, who was a key focus of their cultivation. Once recognized by the Ancestral God Sect… things would be different. However, the Ancestral God Sect had extremely high standards; even so-called peerless geniuses of Ke Di’s caliber in the universe were dismissed by them. “No, he’s human. He’s human, but he can kill a peak Undying King as a Sector Lord,” Bloodfire Divine General said. “And it’s a direct kill.” Bloodfire Divine General, managing the Ancestral God Sect’s affairs on behalf of the Beast God, knew more secrets. When it came to understanding the laws of cosmic operation… the Ancestral God Sect was undoubtedly the most knowledgeable! “A direct kill? This, this is something that defies the laws of cosmic operation.” The Thunder Beast God’s voice boomed. If it were a Sector Lord relying on a sneak attack or extremely powerful treasures, there might be hope. But a direct confrontation? A peak Undying King could easily defeat a Sector Lord with just a soul attack or a divine power attack. “According to our Ancestral God Sect’s intelligence, especially during his time in the Ice Prison, he used a supreme treasure to conceal his aura and was able to fight against an Undying King Invincible. He could withstand both soul attacks and material attacks. In fact, his strength was even capable of killing a peak Undying King,” Bloodfire Divine General stated. “Hmm.” A light gleamed in the Thunder Beast God’s massive eyes. “He has a special encounter, and this special encounter allows him, in certain aspects, to defy the laws of cosmic operation! And without being suppressed by them!” It clearly understood what this implied. The universe was fair. Even ‘General Armor’ and ‘King Armor,’ which enhanced strength, placed immense strain on the body. For example, ‘King Armor’ required a body with ten thousand times the power of a Sector Lord to wear. Even a Golden Horned Beast needed to cultivate the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual to wear it. So, without the heaven-defying Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, General Armor, King Armor, or General Soul could not even be used. Without these, Luo Feng would just be an ordinary peerless genius, at most comparable to Ke Di. How could he, as a Sector Lord, kill a peak Undying King as he does now? “Defying the laws of cosmic operation without being suppressed?” The Thunder Beast God’s voice boomed. “Keep an eye on him. From now on, constantly observe him.” “Beast God, because he has immense fame in the universe—after all, a Sector Lord killing a peak Undying King, although other factions besides our Ancestral God Sect don’t fully grasp its implications. But he is human, and achieving this feat has shocked the universe. So, after he arrived at the Land of Inheritance, he was challenged by a large number of inheritors. Just now, this human accepted all challenges,” Bloodfire Divine General said. “All of them?” The Beast God was also surprised. “Yes, all challenges, over 620,000 battles,” Bloodfire Divine General replied. “620,000 matches? What’s his name…” the Beast God asked. “Daohe King! His true name is suspected to be ‘Luo Feng’,” Bloodfire Divine General said. “Observe closely what the outcome of these 620,000 battles will be. I also want to know what an existence that defies the laws of cosmic operation can achieve. His opponents… are peerless geniuses from all over the universe,” the Beast God said. … In the Glory World, Battle World. In the endless desert. Luo Feng wore black armored boots and also had a pair of scaled wings, as using ‘wings’ was the most convenient and fastest way for him to fly and dodge. “A powerful divine body. I haven’t even become an Immortal yet, but in the virtual world, I’m experiencing the feeling of a divine body with 100,000 times the power of a Sector Lord.” Luo Feng gazed at a figure in the distance. A silver-gray serpentine monster slowly emerged from the desert, its triangular head held high, its massive divine body faintly discernible within the sand. A smile appeared on Luo Feng’s face: “The first battle of 620,000 matches.”
