Lord of Jiuyou

At the highest point of Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe, outside the palace amidst endless currents, Luo Feng appeared out of thin air. “Things are beyond my control,” Luo Feng mused, frowning outside the palace gates. “If I couldn’t escape that realm and was killed, and my treasures were taken, it would be incredibly difficult to retrieve them.” “Luo Feng,” a voice called out. Luo Feng was startled and spun around. Standing near the cliff edge outside the palace was a golden-robed figure, none other than Chaos City Lord, who was looking down at Thunder Island below. “Teacher,” Luo Feng quickly walked over and bowed respectfully. “You came to see me, yet you hesitated outside the door. Is something amiss?” Chaos City Lord turned to Luo Feng, a smile on his face. “You mentioned before that you were going to Jiuyou Space to find World Tree branches to nurture your third clone. Could it be… there’s been a change?” Luo Feng respectfully replied, “Regarding the World Tree branches, this disciple is proceeding as planned and believes there’s hope of obtaining them. However, my Earthling body encountered a slight problem.” “Oh?” Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng. “My Earthling body was hidden on Barren Stone Island, the safest place in Jiuyou Space. Unexpectedly, another group of Ancestral God Sect inheritors arrived there, and among them was Howling Mirror King. Howling Mirror King is renowned for his tracking and detection abilities, so he naturally discovered me. He also coveted my treasures, so he made a move against me,” Luo Feng explained. “Howling Mirror King?” Chaos City Lord was surprised. “If he made a move, how could you escape? Or have your treasures already fallen into his hands?” “No.” Luo Feng shook his head. “This disciple escaped.” “You escaped?” Chaos City Lord was puzzled. “Although he is an Immortal, he possesses the strength of a Universe Knight, especially with his talent secret technique attacks.” “This disciple has another treasure, specifically for protecting the soul,” Luo Feng said. “A treasure?” Chaos City Lord couldn’t help but be astonished. Based on Luo Feng’s previous battle scenes, he had deduced that Luo Feng’s mental force weapon should be a treasure. He never expected there to be a third treasure, and one that protected the soul. This made Chaos City Lord press further, “Luo Feng, just how many treasures do you possess?” Luo Feng felt a little awkward. “Three. The Shi Wu Wings, a mental force weapon, and a soul protection treasure. Just three.” “Just three? You say ‘just three’! When I was a Sector Lord, I only had one treasure,” Chaos City Lord couldn’t help but say. “It seems your fortune is truly immense.” Luo Feng, however, felt a little uneasy. If his teacher asked where he obtained the other two treasures, what would he say? “Even if you have a treasure to protect your soul, with his Universe Knight strength, he wouldn’t let you escape,” Chaos City Lord questioned. Luo Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His teacher didn’t press for the origin of the two treasures. Otherwise, he would have had to fabricate a lie. After all, the Star Tower was the biggest secret. Treasures like the Star Map and Shi Wu Wings were often disregarded by many Universe Masters, who would bestow them upon powerful individuals within their own race. Treasures like the Sirius Hall were enough to make Universe Masters envious. The Thousand Treasures River, a top-tier treasure, was enough to drive Universe Masters mad. As for the highest-grade ‘Star Tower,’ it was enough to make countless races obsessed, with even Universe Overlords desperately trying to obtain it. The equivalent ‘Five-Colored Aurora Lake’ was the fundamental protective treasure of the universe’s foremost power, safeguarding their base! Luo Feng knew very well… the secret of the Star Tower must never be exposed before he could fully control it. Otherwise, no matter how powerful his background, it wouldn’t stop the madness of the powerful. … “Logically, this disciple indeed shouldn’t have been able to escape, but because he was chasing me in Jiuyou Space,” Luo Feng said. “In a moment of crisis, I discovered a Jiuyou Vortex. This disciple thought that if the treasure fell into Howling Mirror King’s hands, it would be very difficult to get back. Although the Jiuyou Vortex has a fearsome reputation, at least this disciple wouldn’t die immediately. So, I steeled my heart and plunged directly into the Jiuyou Vortex.” “The Jiuyou Vortex is somewhat similar to a wormhole.” “This disciple arrived directly in another world,” Luo Feng respectfully stated. “A group of unique lifeforms lives there, all tall and robust, with blood-red bodies and blood-red horns. Where this disciple appeared, there happened to be hundreds of Immortal-level alien beings stationed. This disciple narrowly escaped, but I estimate that stronger individuals will come to pursue me… And in that realm, I cannot teleport or use God Kingdom transport, so I can only wait to be hunted. All this disciple can do is try to buy time, as that realm is still very vast.” Chaos City Lord listened and nodded slightly. “You did well. That Howling Mirror King is from the Northern Territory Alliance. The Northern Territory Alliance has always been arrogant; once something falls into their hands, it’s impossible to get back,” Chaos City Lord said. Luo Feng broke out in a cold sweat. The Star Tower core was of immense importance. Although Howling Mirror King might not recognize it even if he obtained it, the Star Tower recognized its master by integrating its core into the soul, so it absolutely could not be lost. “What should this disciple do now?” Luo Feng looked at Chaos City Lord. “Hahaha, now you know to ask for help.” Chaos City Lord smiled. “I have never been to the Ancestral God Mystery Realm and know very little about it. However, I do know a few of the most terrifying existences there, super beings who roam the universe!” “Let me ask you, what are the cosmic coordinates of that realm?” Chaos City Lord asked. “It’s directly beneath the Jiuyou Sea,” Luo Feng replied. “Hmm.” Chaos City Lord nodded. “My guess was correct. Even now that you are in that world, I can only faintly sense the token I left with you, and it’s clearly being interfered with by that world. Only a few beings in the entire universe can achieve that.” Luo Feng was immediately startled. This was a life-saving item his teacher had given him, for calling for help in critical moments. “I haven’t been to Jiuyou Space, but I know… the true master of Jiuyou Space is called the ‘Lord of Jiuyou’,” Chaos City Lord said. “And the world you are in is the Lord of Jiuyou’s lair.” “Lord of Jiuyou?” Luo Feng blinked. “He is a Universe Master,” Chaos City Lord said. “Of course, don’t equate him with beings like the Lord of Sirius… This Lord of Jiuyou, in terms of power, is no less than me.” Luo Feng was secretly shocked. No less than his teacher? Chaos City Lord had three clones, each incredibly heaven-defying. The Lord of Jiuyou could actually rival his teacher. “This Lord of Jiuyou roams the universe, practically invincible,” Chaos City Lord continued. “Even the Ancestral God Sect treats him with respect. The three Ancestral Gods… also have a good relationship with the Lord of Jiuyou. Many matters they find inconvenient to handle, and which the Beast Gods cannot resolve, they usually ask the Lord of Jiuyou to step in.” Luo Feng listened intently. “The Lord of Jiuyou’s strength is formidable, especially in Jiuyou Space,” Chaos City Lord said. “That Jiuyou Space is his territory.” “In Jiuyou Space… the Lord of Jiuyou is invincible. No one in the universe can do anything to him,” Chaos City Lord stated. “Ah.” Luo Feng blinked. His teacher had no reason to lie to him. It made sense. It was said that ‘Chaos City Lord’ was invincible in the primal universe, and this Lord of Jiuyou was also an invincible existence in ‘Jiuyou Space.’ “In Jiuyou Space, he can exert his maximum power,” Chaos City Lord sighed. “Whether it’s the strongest World Tree you know of, or other Universe Master-level combatants, as long as they are in Jiuyou Space, they are all subordinates of the Lord of Jiuyou. That’s why other super beings in the universe are unwilling to go there.” “Going to Jiuyou Space can easily lead to losses,” Chaos City Lord said. “I’m also unwilling to go there. Only some Immortals and Universe Knights go there to venture and seek treasures. How many true Universe Masters dare to go? That Lord of Jiuyou is a ruthless fellow. It’s difficult to destroy a Universe Master in other places, but in his Jiuyou Space, destroying a Universe Master is not difficult at all.” Luo Feng trembled inwardly. He never expected such a super master to be hidden behind Jiuyou Space! The inheritors throughout history had only glimpsed the surface. And rightly so, inheritors were not qualified to make that super being appear. “Practically invincible.” Luo Feng also felt a longing. “My teacher is invincible in the primal universe, and this Lord of Jiuyou is invincible in ‘Jiuyou Space.’ In the future… can I also reach this stage, where no one in the universe can defeat me?” Although there were conditional limitations. One had to be invincible in a specific place, but it already made Luo Feng envious. It meant that as long as one placed a clone in that place, they would be immortal. … Chaos City Lord said, “The Lord of Jiuyou is comparable in strength to me. We have collaborated many times, and he owes me a favor.” “Owes a favor?” Luo Feng was surprised. “If you truly encounter danger and absolutely cannot escape,” Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng, “you can directly shout—‘Lord of Jiuyou, I am Chaos’s disciple!’ The Lord of Jiuyou completely controls Jiuyou Space; no movement there can escape his notice. When you shout, he will naturally know, and no matter how dangerous your situation… if he intervenes, you will definitely be safe.” Luo Feng understood after hearing this. “However… if you can avoid using the favor, then don’t,” Chaos City Lord advised. “Only use it if there’s absolutely no other way.” “Understood,” Luo Feng nodded, a wave of emotion washing over him. A debt of gratitude was the hardest to repay! For an existence like the Lord of Jiuyou, owing a favor was an incredibly rare occurrence. How valuable was it? Absolutely no less than the value of a treasure. “If you do speak up, you can also make a request to him. This favor shouldn’t be repaid too easily,” Chaos City Lord said. “For example, you could directly tell him you want the World Tree branches at the Sector Lord level… He would agree to such a small matter.” “This disciple understands,” Luo Feng nodded solemnly. He still had hope of escaping with his Demon Killer Clan clone. He would absolutely not use this favor unless he was truly pushed to the brink of despair. “Go,” Chaos City Lord said with a smile. “Yes,” Luo Feng bowed respectfully, then disappeared into thin air.
