Chapter 992
The Furious Jiuyou Master
The Demon Killer Clan avatar was startled. With a glance, he discovered that the space within hundreds of millions of kilometers was completely isolated from the outside world. Only the 'Jiuyou Master' could achieve such a feat instantly. Meanwhile, the natives worshiping by other 'Imperial Seas' in the vicinity, even if they looked in Luo Feng's direction, would only see the Blood Sea as usual, without any special features. A colossal head floated in the air, looking down at the Demon Killer Clan avatar below. "Human! You are testing my patience!" A chilling voice echoed throughout the blood-red world. The Demon Killer Clan avatar was secretly alarmed. This Jiuyou Master was indeed omniscient; all his actions within the Jiuyou World were likely under his observation. Although he was currently in his Demon Killer Clan avatar, the Jiuyou Master still directly referred to him as 'human,' clearly recognizing his human avatar as his true body. "Fortunately, he didn't immediately go for the kill," the Demon Killer Clan avatar mused. "It seems he still considers his own status, and his relationship with the Ancestral God Sect is profound. For me, an inheritor... he didn't directly attack." "But what do I do now?" "His status is unique and noble; even the three great Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Sect sometimes seek his help. The only reason he hasn't directly attacked is his self-respect. If I provoke him even slightly more, he might directly kill me, and neither the Ancestral God Sect nor the human race would likely be able to intervene." "First, I cannot provoke him further." "Second, I must preserve the Blood Sea water." "This Jiuyou Master might have deduced my true purpose based on my previous actions, like stealing the World Tree branches. But it's not certain... I stole the World Tree branches on that tree island, which is the World Tree's territory. That strongest World Tree is, after all, a Universe Master-level combatant. The Jiuyou Master shouldn't have been constantly observing and investigating that area." "No powerful being likes to be constantly watched." "Even I wouldn't want to be constantly monitored, let alone the strongest World Tree. So... it's highly likely that the Jiuyou Master didn't discover my theft of the World Tree branches." "If he didn't discover it... then my current act of collecting Blood Sea water might not necessarily reveal my true purpose to him." As the colossal head formed by the Jiuyou Master roared, the Demon Killer Clan avatar's mind raced through numerous thoughts, and he immediately prepared to respond. "Greetings, Universe Master." The Demon Killer Clan avatar bowed respectfully, simultaneously switching bodies. His Earthling true body appeared, while the Demon Killer Clan avatar returned to his World Ring. Since the Jiuyou Master had directly called him human, Luo Feng naturally appeared in his Earthling true body, which also showed a form of respect to the Jiuyou Master. "Since you've escaped the encirclement, why haven't you left?" The colossal head looked down. "I... I was holding onto a sliver of hope," Luo Feng replied respectfully. "After escaping the encirclement, I believed my Demon Killer Clan avatar wouldn't be seen through. And the destination of the 'Jiuyou Vortex,' known to successive inheritors of the Ancestral God Sect, has always been a secret. So, I wanted to take the opportunity to observe it. I was hoping not to be discovered, but now that I see the Universe Master, I immediately understand that everything was under the Universe Master's observation." The colossal head observed Luo Feng from above. Luo Feng remained respectful, showing no signs of panic. "My true name is Jiuyou," the colossal head suddenly spoke. "Jiuyou Master," Luo Feng immediately responded respectfully. The colossal head slowly said, "Human Daohe King, I have heard some things about you. You rely on your innate avatar technique, believing you can revive even if I kill you, which is why you're so calm and unafraid, isn't it?" Luo Feng quickly replied, "How could Daohe not be alarmed when encountering the Jiuyou Master? I am merely feigning composure." "Hahaha..." The colossal head let out a laugh, its sound like surging waves, sweeping across the entire blood-red world. After a long while, the laughter gradually subsided, and the massive face slowly turned cold, staring at Luo Feng. "You should know that the 108 Imperial Seas, especially the Blood Sea among them, are forbidden to touch. This is taboo! You must have gathered this intelligence within my world, so why did you still dare to take the Blood Sea water? Speak!" "Speak!" "Speak!" "Speak!" "Speak!" "Speak!" "Speak!" This single word, 'Speak,' pierced directly into Luo Feng's soul, echoing repeatedly in his mind, instantly plunging him into an illusion. "Break!" Luo Feng's will surpassed that of most Universe Venerables; it was terrifyingly resolute. The Jiuyou Master's attempt to influence Luo Feng with an illusion generated by a single sound was simply not enough. "Hmm?" The Jiuyou Master looked down at Luo Feng, a hint of surprise appearing on his cold face. He knew that 'Daohe King' was a Sector Lord. A mere Sector Lord could actually resist the illusion generated by his voice. One should know that even some Universe Venerables might fall victim if they weren't careful. "I was very curious about the legendary 108 Imperial Seas, so I came to observe them. I found that the water of the other Imperial Seas was quite ordinary, but only this small Blood Sea, upon closer inspection, had water that resembled fresh blood, and I could even faintly smell a bloody scent. Out of curiosity, I collected a small amount of its water," Luo Feng explained respectfully. "I thought, the Blood Sea is so vast, a little water shouldn't matter. I was also holding onto a sliver of hope." "Holding onto a sliver of hope?" The colossal head looked down at Luo Feng, its voice growing colder. "Hmph, knowing it's taboo, yet still daring to violate it! Then you must be prepared to face the consequences..." Luo Feng's heart leaped in alarm as he heard the words. "This is bad." Luo Feng had originally wanted to avoid using the favor the Jiuyou Master owed his teacher, the Chaos City Lord, but he couldn't afford to hesitate any longer. He immediately spoke: "Jiuyou Master—" "I was going to..." "Jiuyou Master—" Luo Feng's words and the Jiuyou Master's words rang out simultaneously. Luo Feng had been about to shout out his words, but upon hearing the three words, 'I was going to...', he immediately forced himself to swallow what he was about to say. "Hmm?" The colossal head looked down, sneering. "Did you think I was going to kill you? Hmph, I was going to kill you, but considering you are a newly cultivated powerhouse of the Ancestral God Sect, I abandoned the thought of killing you." "Ancestral God Sect?" Luo Feng was startled. "The Ancestral God Sect is divided into official members and peripheral members," the colossal head looked down at Luo Feng. "And true combat relies more on the peripheral members. The peripheral members of the Ancestral God Sect... are its most powerful military organization!" Luo Feng nodded upon hearing this. How many official members did the Ancestral God Sect truly have? Yet, its peripheral members comprised countless peerless geniuses gathered from billions of races across the entire universe, such as 'Candidate Divine Emissaries,' 'Candidate Divine Generals,' and 'inheritors who have achieved extremely high Beast God inheritances.' Many of them possessed the strength of Universe Overlords! This was undoubtedly a terrifying force. "I am Jiuyou, the Guardian Divine Master of the Ancestral God Sect's peripheral organization!" The colossal head looked down at Luo Feng. "You, Daohe King, are a designated member to be absorbed into my Ancestral God Sect's peripheral organization, and a key member at that." Luo Feng blinked. Guardian Divine Master? "The peripheral organization is divided into Guardian Emissaries, Guardian Venerables, Guardian Lords, and Guardian Divine Masters," the colossal head looked down at Luo Feng. "Each Divine Master commands a faction. You, Daohe King... from today onwards, will be a 'Guardian Emissary' of the Ancestral God Sect's peripheral organization, specifically of my Jiuyou lineage. As your strength increases, your status will naturally rise. If you accept, I will spare your life. If you don't accept... you know the consequences." Luo Feng blinked. Heavens. So, this Jiuyou Master was a 'Guardian Divine Master'! He had originally intended to rely on the favor the Jiuyou Master owed his teacher, the Chaos City Lord. He never expected that the Ancestral God Sect had already set its sights on him. "Although you'll join the peripheral organization, it won't make you an enemy of the human race," the colossal head said coldly. "The peripheral organization has always been very free, with no usual constraints. Only occasionally, when my Ancestral God Sect has matters that need resolving, will it issue commands. If you are unwilling to do something, you can even state your reasons, and the Ancestral God Sect will not force you." "Join, or not join?" The Jiuyou Master stared coldly at Luo Feng. Luo Feng blinked. "Greetings, Guardian Divine Master," Luo Feng bowed respectfully. "You are quite astute," the Jiuyou Master said. "Very well, this is an 'Ancestral God Token'." A black token appeared out of thin air, descending from above and landing directly in front of Luo Feng. Luo Feng reached out and took it. It felt heavy and cold. On the Ancestral God Token were just two characters—'Ancestral God.' The script was composed of countless secret patterns, which Luo Feng didn't recognize, yet he instinctively knew they spelled 'Ancestral God' upon seeing them. "Imprint it with your life imprint, and only you will be able to use this Ancestral God Token," the Jiuyou Master looked down at Luo Feng. "Through this Ancestral God Token, you can contact the Ancestral God Sect. The Ancestral God Sect also issues missions through the Ancestral God Token. As long as you are within the universe, you can establish contact through the Ancestral God Token." "Hmm?" Luo Feng was surprised. This was just like the 'Virtual Universe.' "Only text communication," the Jiuyou Master continued. "The Ancestral God Token is very special; do not lose it." "Understood." Luo Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Only text communication... but it was still incredibly powerful. However, it was clear that this Ancestral God Token was not easy to create. "If anyone from the Ancestral God Sect looks for you, just show them this Ancestral God Token, and they will understand," the Jiuyou Master said. "Yes," Luo Feng respectfully replied. "Go." As soon as the Jiuyou Master's voice fell, an invisible force enveloped Luo Feng. Whoosh! Luo Feng had already vanished, but the colossal head let out a sound: "This Daohe King has entered my lineage. I didn't actively snatch him; he came to my Jiuyou World and even offended me, which is why I took him in. When those fellows find out, I wonder how they'll react, hahaha... Last time, the Bug-Chasing King was snatched by 'Fengtian,' but this time, this Daohe King has fallen into my hands, hahaha..." "Hmm?" Luo Feng looked around. He was already in the void, and he could see the Jiuyou Space-time in the distance. "I... I'm actually outside the Jiuyou Space-time." Luo Feng was secretly astonished by the Jiuyou Master's methods. Immediately, Luo Feng's heart was filled with ecstasy, but he dared not show too much on his face, as who knew if the Jiuyou Master was still observing. He promptly ordered his soul slave to activate God Kingdom teleportation. Buzz~~~ A hazy golden light flared. Luo Feng, along with his soul slave, stepped directly into it and then vanished into the void. Inside the Primal Secret Realm's grand hall. "Hahaha..." As soon as Luo Feng appeared in the grand hall, a look of wild joy finally spread across his face. Success! He had brought back the Blood Sea water!
