Chapter 960

Kill Him!

The Chaos City Lord held a very high position within the human race and an equally high status in the Hong Alliance. Therefore, many departments would send reports to him via email. However, the importance of these emails was tiered; only extremely crucial messages would be reviewed by the Chaos City Lord immediately. Otherwise, he would wait until a designated time to review them all at once. The Shadow Lord, the general head of the Virtual Universe Company's intelligence department and also the general head of the Hong Alliance's intelligence department, was a Universe Overlord-level existence. The information that Luo Feng was Daohe King was now known to the high-ranking members of the human race, and naturally, the Shadow Lord was also aware. “What?” “Three thousand battles, with 2,979 victories and only 21 losses?” The Chaos City Lord, holding the message, couldn't help but be astonished. “Yes, City Lord,” the Shadow Lord replied respectfully. “I didn't expect him to achieve such a degree,” the Chaos City Lord was indeed surprised. Among the top inheritors on the ranking list, exceeding 90 million, their strengths were extremely close. For instance, if Luo Feng were to fight an opponent of similar strength, he might win some and lose some; there was no absolute certainty. “Luo Feng's future is boundless.” The Shadow Lord, known for his 'cold and terrifying' reputation as the general head of the entire Hong Alliance's intelligence department, surprisingly showed a rare hint of a smile. “Hahaha… over 620,000 battles, with such a win rate, how many glory points must he have earned? With 100 glory points exchanging for one inheritance opportunity, how many inheritance opportunities would that be? The Ancestral God Sect will likely cultivate a super expert for our human race this time!” The Chaos City Lord burst into hearty laughter, his voice echoing through the grand hall. No one doubted, not even the Demon Race, Prison Race, and other super forces in the universe, that if Daohe King were allowed to grow without hindrance, he would undoubtedly become a super expert, a terrifying existence, within the human race in the future! The only variable was the time it would take. Therefore, he must be killed before he truly becomes powerful! “City Lord, Luo Feng's win rate, firstly, earns him a massive amount of glory points, granting him numerous inheritance opportunities. Secondly, it also demonstrates his current extreme strength and profound comprehension of laws,” the Shadow Lord bowed slightly. “Undoubtedly, the Insectoid Race, Demon Race, and Machine Race, these three peak races, must be anxious. Once Luo Feng becomes a Universe Master, assassinating him will be much harder. There will certainly be assassination attempts soon… City Lord, how should we respond?” “Assassination?” The Chaos City Lord nodded. “The Demon Race, Insectoid Race, and Machine Race have various methods, but my disciple is currently in the Ancestral God Sect's sacred grounds, which severely limits the means they can employ. Other powerful methods cannot be used. They can only order some powerful inheritors to kill Luo Feng. This is their only option.” “Indeed,” the Shadow Lord nodded. The Ancestral God Sect's sacred grounds cannot be trespassed upon. The Demon Race and other peak races would rather let Luo Feng become a super expert than send their super existences to trespass on the Ancestral God Sect's sacred grounds, as the consequences would be severe. “Leave this matter to me. You must trust my disciple,” the Chaos City Lord said. The Shadow Lord bowed slightly: “Then I shall take my leave.” “Go,” the Chaos City Lord nodded. … The Shadow Lord became the general head of the Hong Alliance's intelligence department primarily because he belonged to the Virtual Universe Company faction. This was because the virtual universe played an incredibly crucial role in transmitting information. Even other peak races in the universe would spare no expense to plant spies and establish secret communication channels, and even if these were frequently deciphered and resulted in huge sacrifices, the alien races continued to do so. Therefore, when it came to intelligence, the general head of the Virtual Universe Company's intelligence department easily concurrently served as the general head of the Hong Alliance's intelligence. His power was immense… no less than some of the other hall masters in the Hong Alliance. … The Insectoid Race, Demon Race, and Machine Race were no longer observing. Clearly, the Insectoid Race, which had planned everything long ago, was the first to make arrangements. In the virtual world established by the Insectoid Race. Amidst endless clouds and mist, on a beautiful floating island, numerous beautiful Insectoid Mother Queens, with butterfly-like wings and bodies as white and translucent as crystal, soft as water, were playfully interacting. Each Mother Queen possessed breathtaking beauty, capable of making other beings feel a desire to protect them with just a glance. “Look, it's an alien.” “It's the Kongwan Race from our Insectoid Alliance.” The Mother Queens all looked at the figure—an alien expert with a chitinous body, wearing a mask, and clad in ancient black armor. This Kongwan Race expert quickly arrived at the center of the floating island, where a palace carved from wood stood. The palace gates were wide open. The Kongwan Race expert entered the palace; the guards did not stop him. “Jueguang of the Kongwan Race pays respects to the Universe Supreme Being.” The masked alien expert bowed in the wooden hall, where a peerlessly beautiful existence sat on a wooden throne, her beauty so captivating it could enthrall the souls of even powerful experts. She was enveloped in a hazy, colorful mist. “Jueguang Universe Master, I need you to do something. Are you aware?” The voice was clear and pleasant. “I am aware,” Jueguang Universe Master responded respectfully. “Do you have anything to say?” the existence on the wooden throne asked. “The Universe Supreme Being chose me, firstly, because I am an inheritor. Secondly, my progress in the Beast God path has slowed, and I am gradually abandoning it to pursue the broader path of 'space and time'. Thirdly, I possess the clone technique. Fourthly, as a member of the Kongwan Race, I am naturally skilled in the art of soul control,” Jueguang Universe Master said. “The cost for me to assassinate the human Daohe King is comparatively the lowest.” “Indeed, looking through our entire Insectoid Alliance, you are the most suitable. From the perspective of the entire alliance, you are the best choice. However, for you, the cost is significant. To recover a Universe Master clone after losing one, the immense divine power required alone is a huge price. Moreover, you will forever be unable to return to the Ancestral God Sect, losing the opportunity to receive inheritance.” Jueguang Universe Master stood respectfully, listening. “You will be compensated for all your losses by the alliance,” the beautiful figure said. “Regarding the assassination, what are your thoughts?” “According to Jueguang's knowledge, the human Daohe King has been continuously accepting challenges, so he has remained in his mansion,” Jueguang Universe Master respectfully stated. “The Universe Supreme Being also knows that each palace on Purple Thorn Island is the territory of an inheritor, the only territory an inheritor has absolute control over. Other inheritors are forbidden from trespassing; any trespass will be met with an attack from the Aurora Lake, resulting in instant annihilation. Therefore, I cannot trespass and can only wait for that human to emerge.” “As for luring him out? From the perspective of preventing human suspicion, luring him out is not suitable.” “The most foolish method is also the best method, which is to quietly wait for him to voluntarily emerge from his mansion,” Jueguang Universe Master respectfully said. In the grand hall. The beautiful figure looked down at Jueguang Universe Master, a smile on her face that seemed to dim the surrounding world. “You are very calm. What I need to remind you is… it's best to soul control Daohe King! Once his soul is controlled, it will completely prevent humanity from reversing time and space to revive him.” “Of course, if soul control is not possible, then kill him directly.” “This human Daohe King must have had some very special encounters. The more special the encounter, the greater the price for reversing time and space to revive him,” the beautiful existence's voice seemed to resonate in Jueguang Universe Master's mind. “Daohe King is so special that the cost to revive him might be higher than that of an ordinary Universe Master, perhaps even comparable to reviving a Universe Overlord.” “Soul control is the first choice. Killing is the second choice. Go!” “Yes,” Jueguang Universe Master responded respectfully. … Purple Thorn Island. Jueguang Universe Master walked along, and other inheritors kept their distance, showing a certain respect for a Universe Master. This was quite common, and it brought a hint of pleasure to Jueguang Universe Master's eyes. However, when he saw the Earth Jiangnan garden-style mansion by the river in the distance, his brows furrowed. “Universe Master, I am a Universe Master. Yet, in the eyes of my race, in the eyes of the Insectoid Alliance, I am far less of a threat than that human who is merely a Sector Lord.” “I will assassinate Daohe King, and then be annihilated by the Aurora Lake.” “The most terrifying thing is that I will have to be discreet from now on, or remain within the Insectoid territory, otherwise, if the human race discovers me, their super existences will likely seek revenge for their peerless genius and kill me.” “How laughable.” Jueguang Universe Master felt a wave of sorrow, yet he was powerless to resist. Even his home race could not defy the Insectoid Race's orders, let alone him, a mere Universe Master. Perhaps in terms of individual strength, he was definitely an existence that could roam the universe, but compared to the peak existences of the universe, he was very weak and could only obey orders. … Two days later. “Kill him, sacrificing myself? The Sirius Lord of the Demon Race promised to reverse time and space to revive me?” “But even if revived, I will have no more inheritance opportunities on the Beast God path, and I will also be on the human race's hit list.” A monstrous beast, seemingly made of gathered mud, stood atop a distant mountain peak, looking down below. In its ears, the roar of the Sirius Lord seemed to echo— “Kill him!” … The Machine Race, Demon Race, and Insectoid Race all dispatched powerful experts, but without exception, they were all alien Universe Masters, not from their own races. Although this meant they had to pay a certain price to these alien races, if they were too overbearing and bullied the alien races, their alliance would have long since disintegrated. Time flowed on. With 1,000 battles daily, Luo Feng continued his fights with remarkable regularity. The Demon Race, Insectoid Race, and Machine Race were all awaiting good news. They knew that humanity would anticipate their assassination attempts and make preparations. However, in their view, unless Daohe King remained hidden in his mansion or was constantly protected by a Universe Master the moment he stepped out, they would always find an opportunity. “Boom~~” In the combat world, above the once bustling metropolis now reduced to ruins of steel and concrete, Luo Feng, clad in black armor and boots, with black wings on his back, waved his left hand, and 600 golden beads flew back from a distance. “All battles, concluded!” Luo Feng murmured softly, looking at the surging divine power aftermath in the distance. Nearly two years, over 620,000 battles, all finished!
