Born Beast God

With a flick of his hand, the ancient ship Yinhe melted into Luo Feng's arm. “My previous spaceships were all acquired from various Kings. They felt somewhat lacking. I had planned to get a better spaceship after breaking through to the Undying realm, but now it seems... this Ancient Ship Yinhe, comparable in value to a Supreme Treasure, is superior to any spaceship built by the Human race or the Machine race.” Luo Feng was overjoyed. Whoosh! A rapidly shrinking aurora suddenly flew towards him, startling Luo Feng. The Universe Master who had once tried to assassinate him was easily killed by these ‘auroras.’ Luo Feng tried to dodge, but the surrounding space seemed to solidify, making it difficult for him to move. Yet, the aurora was as swift as lightning, and one end gently touched Luo Feng’s head. “Hmm?” Luo Feng stood frozen. Boom! The massive rock that had been suspended suddenly plummeted, falling back into the cavern and restoring the mountaintop to its previous state. And the thousands of auroras that had encircled the entire mountain, whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! all shot skyward, swiftly returning to the vast, multicolored Aurora Lake. “Look, Daohe King seems to be in a daze.” “He must be overwhelmed with joy.” “That’s one of the 108 Treasures, and he just got his hands on it! These 108 Treasures are one less each time one is taken. Who knows when a new one will be placed there?” “What do you think Daohe King got?” “Some precious materials?” “A defensive Supreme Treasure?” “An offensive Supreme Treasure?” “A treasure to restore his divine body?” The countless Inheritors watching Luo Feng acquire the treasure from afar speculated curiously, but none of them could see what it was. Luo Feng glanced around at the distant surroundings, then instantly Teleported to a canyon far from the treasure site. ... Inside the canyon, it was incredibly peaceful. Luo Feng was alone there, muttering, “Master of Wine?” The moment the aurora touched his head, it transmitted some information—a message from the treasure’s placer to the future Inheritor. A wild and unrestrained voice spoke. “I have no clan. Since the birth of the universe, I’ve been alone. My only true life-and-death friend is ‘Master Guahe,’ but that Guahe also had an extraordinary fate. I don’t know who to give my useless treasures to. The Ancestral God Sect suddenly created this treasure site, so I’ll leave this Silver Horned Phantom Ship to whoever comes after me.” “Sector Lord, capable of winning over a thousand challenges, and having at least completed the third stage of the Beast God Inheritance—if you meet these conditions, I consider you a rare genius.” “Remember, the one who gave you this treasure is the Master of Wine, hahaha...” A simple message. Luo Feng immediately understood that the one who left the treasure was a Universe Master, but his title was rather peculiar: ‘Master of Wine’? “Wine, as a title?” Luo Feng wondered. He immediately connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe. His current authority was indeed very high, allowing him to investigate many secrets of the universe. ... In the Virtual Universe. At his desk, Luo Feng looked at his laptop screen and quickly began searching for ‘Master of Wine.’ Swish. A single entry appeared on the screen. “Hmm?” Luo Feng clicked on it. Master of Wine: An Innate Beast God, a Beast God of ‘Wind and Time,’ a unique special lifeform in the universe. Born as a Beast God, he named himself ‘Riding the Wind.’ He loved drinking above all else, obsessed with it, and the universe’s super powerhouses bestowed upon him the title ‘Wine.’ He was one of the Ancestral God Sect’s earliest Eight Great Beast Gods, and has now perished! “Ah!” Luo Feng exclaimed, shocked by this simple piece of information. This Master of Wine was actually an Innate Beast God! Beast Gods were divided into Acquired Beast Gods and Innate Beast Gods. Those who cultivated and eventually comprehended the entire path of a Beast God, inheriting the Beast God’s position, were considered normal Beast Gods. However, at the birth of the universe, some were born as Universe Masters, their very beings embodying the fusion of laws as ‘Beast Gods.’ “Perished?” Luo Feng seemed to hear the wild and unrestrained voice echoing in his ears—‘Remember, the one who gave you this treasure is the Master of Wine, hahaha...’ “Such a super powerhouse, perished,” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. An Innate Beast God who loved to drink. Luo Feng could imagine it with his eyes closed... an Innate Beast God standing on an ancient ship, holding a large wine pot. “A drinker, huh...” Luo Feng sighed softly, “You left me a precious treasure. If I ever have the chance, I will surely repay you.” “An Innate Beast God, yet a heavy drinker, known as the Master of Wine, and even named himself ‘Riding the Wind’...” Though Luo Feng had never met him, he developed a fondness for the perished Master of Wine. It was a pity that this Innate Beast God was born at the very beginning of the universe, likely far older than even Chaos City Lord or the Founder of Giant Axe. One of the Ancestral God Sect’s earliest Eight Great Beast Gods, too much time had passed; he had long since perished. “Even powerhouses like Universe Masters can perish,” Luo Feng murmured. “For example, if a Universe Supreme Master were to pay a heavy price to kill a Universe Master, most Universe Masters would likely be unable to escape. Unless they possess heaven-defying methods, like the Master of Jiuyou or Chaos City Lord.” Chaos City Lord is invincible in the Primal Universe. The Master of Jiuyou is invincible in the Sea of Jiuyou. Luo Feng couldn’t help but feel fortunate about his choice for his third clone. ... After Luo Feng sighed over the Master of Wine’s demise in a secluded canyon within the Treasure Site, he was soon discovered by some Inheritors. However, Luo Feng remained composed. He continued to wander through the Treasure Site, intending to explore the entire area, hoping to perhaps find another treasure. In any case, most of his consciousness was cultivating in the Virtual Universe, so treasure hunting didn’t require much effort. ... Just half an hour after Luo Feng acquired the ‘Ancient Ship Yinhe,’ as he was strolling through the Treasure Site, “Daohe.” “Daohe.” A figure flew directly towards him. Luo Feng looked up and saw it was Thousand Rain King. “Thousand Rain King.” Luo Feng nodded with a smile. “Congratulations, congratulations! The moment I entered the World of Glory, I heard you acquired a treasure, and one of the 108 Treasures at that!” Thousand Rain King said excitedly. “Congratulations!” “Not bad,” Luo Feng grinned. “Where are Chaman King and the others?” “Zhenyan Master has prepared a celebration banquet for you. Chaman King and the others are all there. Zhenyan Master instructed me to come and personally invite you,” Thousand Rain King said with a smile. “The Master said that acquiring one of the Ancestral God Sect’s 108 Treasures is an event that will be spoken of for billions of years, so it must be celebrated, and formally at that. That’s why I was sent to fetch you.” Luo Feng paused, then couldn’t help but smile. His teacher, Zhenyan, had actually prepared a celebration banquet. “I... I was planning to keep exploring,” Luo Feng said, looking at the surrounding Treasure Site. “It seems I’ll have to come back later.” “Exploring what?” Thousand Rain King asked, puzzled. “What’s there to explore? Daohe, haven’t you already acquired a treasure?” “Perhaps I can trigger a second treasure,” Luo Feng said. “How is that possible? Once you’ve triggered the first treasure, you absolutely cannot trigger a second one,” Thousand Rain King stated. “This is a rule that has been established over the long ages since the Ancestral God Sect first opened the Treasure Site.” “Uh...” Luo Feng blinked. Although he had asked Chaman King and the others about the Treasure Site, he had only inquired about the triggering conditions and such, never whether a second treasure could be triggered. “Come on, I’m not lying to you,” Thousand Rain King quickly added. “Luckily, you only wandered for a little while longer. If you had foolishly explored for much longer, many alien Inheritors would have guessed you were still trying to trigger a treasure, and you would surely have become the secret joke of many Inheritors.” Luo Feng glanced around. Some Inheritors in the distance still seemed to be reeling from the shock of the treasure being discovered half an hour ago. After all, since the birth of the universe, only 42 of the 108 Treasures had been found, and today a new one was added. The Inheritors exchanged words, occasionally looking at Luo Feng. Their gazes were mostly filled with ‘envy’ and ‘jealousy.’ Apart from a few powerhouses from alien races who held grudges against humanity, no one showed any signs of greed. Status and strength must match the treasure. If a Planet-level junior were to obtain a Supreme Treasure, it would be a death wish! Even for a Sector Lord, when Chaos City Lord bestowed the Supreme Treasure ‘Wu God Wings’ upon Luo Feng, he instructed Luo Feng not to reveal it, or the trouble would be immense. But now it was different... Luo Feng had already proven his capabilities through experiences like being hunted by Howling Mirror King and the assassination attempt by Swamp Erosion Master. No one was willing to risk their life for a treasure on Luo Feng, especially since they didn’t even know what it was. “When I first left Earth, I was so cautious that even a single Machine race spaceship brought about disaster,” Luo Feng said, shaking his head with a wry smile, filled with emotion. Now, he carried a Supreme Treasure-level item, yet few dared to make a move. ... Watching Luo Feng and Thousand Rain King depart together, Howling Mirror King’s face twitched slightly, revealing his fangs. The other Inheritors beside him understood... Howling Mirror King was likely furious. “Damn it!” “Damn humans!” Howling Mirror King seethed with suppressed rage. “It was just dumb luck! When I find another opportunity, I’ll make you understand that true strength is what matters! I refuse to believe there’ll be another ‘Jiuyou Vortex’ for you to escape into next time.” He resented Zhenyan and loathed Daohe King. Now, watching Daohe King acquire one of the 108 Treasures, the feeling of displeasure was almost unbearable for Howling Mirror King. “Howling Mirror King,” an alien beside him, its green tongue flickering, spoke. “Daohe King is arrogant now, with such a great reputation, but he’s merely a Sector Lord. His ability to kill a peak King must be due to some special abilities granted by external treasures. However... the higher one’s strength, the less useful treasures become. Once he becomes an Undying, the effect of those treasures on him will surely diminish. No matter what, he’s just a human, with a very low life level. Once he becomes an Undying... he’ll be far from comparable to heaven-defying special lifeforms like you, Howling Mirror King, or Bug Hunter King.” “Well said!” Howling Mirror King’s eyes lit up, and he looked at the alien with satisfaction. “He’s just a human.” Howling Mirror King licked his fangs, gazing at the distant direction where Luo Feng had disappeared. “How high can his life level be? Relying on treasures, he might run rampant for a while, but can he really keep it up forever? Even if he becomes an Undying, with my life level a thousand times higher than his, killing him would be as easy as destroying a star.”
