Chapter 1075: It’s Luo Feng!
Under the control of his godly power, the black armor that was suspended in midair and the six, hovering lights made a turn and flew toward Luo Feng.
“An ordinary true treasure armor,” said Luo Feng. “Six ordinary true treasures weapons—should be considered as a series. It has a value that is comparable to a senior true treasure weapon.”
Luo Feng stored the true treasures and then summoned a World Ring to him from afar. This World Ring had fallen to the floor immediately after Flourishing Light Horde Leader was annihilated. Upon checking its contents, Luo Feng only found a dozen or more treasures and some other things. Their accumulated value was not even the value of an ordinary true treasure.
After killing Flourishing Light horde leader, Luo Feng gathered the loot from his victory. His human godly body was set ablaze to display his most powerful trump card and was hence greatly consumed. However, there was his Remote Ocean body to supplement whatever was lacking. Thus, he was able to maintain a pinnacle condition.
Sou!
The moment Luo Feng spread his wings, he transformed into a beam of light and took off. His speed was neither too fast nor too slow; he maintained his flying speed near to the speed of light.
His surroundings were quiet. There was no movement, no traces. No one would be able to tell that a universe overlord had just annihilated been at that very spot just moments before.
******
The Northern Territory Alliance had an immensely large territory under its control, and within the starry sky where the Purple Smelting race lived in, there was a life planet that was dark red all over. The palace of Flourishing Light Horde Leader could be found on that planet.
The palace was not big, but it was considered to be one of the sacred grounds of the Purple Smelting race. The Purple Smelting race had a total of six existing universe overlords. Universe overlords were by far the strongest beings within the race, which was why the entire race was divided into six different territories, each managed and cultivated by these six universe overlords.
From within the palace, several disciples and servants bowed in worship as they watched a faraway figure approaching. It was the body that Flourishing Light Horde Leader had left behind before he made his way to the Original Star.
This body was weak. But it was, after all, Flourishing Light horde leader’s consciousness, so it could still provide guidance to disciples and handle certain matters without a hitch.
“I—” Flourishing Light Horde Leader revealed a shocked expression.
Peng!
Suddenly, he was annihilated and dissipated into thin air.
“Huh?”
“Horde leader!”
“Teacher!”
Three disciples and a bunch of personal servants who were waiting in the distance were in great shock. The area surrounding this planet was in a sealed space, so even Flourishing Light Horde Leader could not teleport and leave the planet. So how did his body suddenly disappear?
“Don’t worry, there must be some very important matters that needed Teacher’s undivided attention, so he has retracted his godly consciousness. Then, of course, the body will disappear.”
“Let’s take a look at the tokens teacher gave us.”
“Let’s take a look at the tokens.”
The three disciples immediately took out the tokens. The tokens were all parts of a collection of Flourishing Light Horde Leader’s belongings. They were all items that had his life imprint. They were valuables that recognized their owners. Once these items were crushed, Flourishing Light Horde Leader would sense the urgency and go to his disciples’ rescue.
“The token has become an object without an owner!” A high-pitched voice suddenly shouted from among the disciples.
Two other voices corresponded with the same comment, adding to the bleak and grim atmosphere.
“An object without a master!”
“Mine too! An object without a master!”
The three disciples of the Purple Smelting race looked at one another, eyes filled with fear and uneasiness. They had no doubts about what this situation meant! For an object that recognizes its master, that were only two ways to reverse this recognition. One was for the master to personally remove his life imprint on the object, and the other was for the master to be killed.
Since Flourishing Light Horde Leader was not present, there was no way he could have personally removed his life imprints. Then the answer was undoubtedly… that Flourishing Light Horde Leader had been annihilated!
“Hurry up! We have to quickly notify the other horde leaders.”
“Quick! Immediately!”
“Notify the higher-ups!”
Six universe overlords oversaw the entire Purple Smelting race. If one got annihilated, it would be equivalent to the collapse of one of the race’s pillars of support. This, to the Purple Smelting race, was a very scary blow.
A short while later, three universe overlords of the Purple Smelting race who had not entered the Original Star came rushing over. First and foremost, they asked Flourishing Light Horde Leader’s disciples questions about what happened. Then they dismissed all the disciples and servants.
In the palace, the three universe overlords who took the form of purple-crystal skinned, two-headed life forms stood in their designated spots. The atmosphere was suffocating.
“Flourishing Light was annihilated!”
“Who could kill Flourishing Light? And to think he did not even have the chance to ask for help! Flourishing Light owns an ordinary true treasure armor, and his attack techniques were strong. To kill him… could it have been a universe master?”
“Even if it wasn’t a universe master, it must be one of the most powerful universe overlords.”
The three of them fell in silence. Flourishing Light Horde Leader, Jiu Feng Knight, Pei Feng Knight, and Qi Blood Palace Leader were all considered normal universe overlords. There were some other powerful ones. For instance, there were special life-forms of the universe overlord level with life genes level of 8,000 or 9,000 times. Their godly powers were purer those of normal universe overlords by 100 times! When launching attacks, their powers would be 100 times stronger, too!
Furthermore, these powerful universe overlords would be obtaining even stronger true treasures. Their combat powers would certainly be extremely strong. With godly bodies that were massive in size, even if they were to go head-on with universe masters… they would be able to hold out for a long time.
“Going into the Original Star, there is always a risk of being killed. We had better banish that thought… If someone is able to defeat Flourishing Light, we, the Purple Smelting race, really cannot afford to offend them.”
“Hmm.” The three universe overlords nodded in unison.
“We have to enlist help from the Northern Territory Alliance to resurrect Flourishing Light.”
“Flourishing Light is a universe overlord; his resurrection is only possible at the hands of Main Master of Alliance… But Main Master’s temperament is notorious. I’m afraid we have to wait for his mood to brighten up before we can ask him to help resurrect Flourishing Light.”
Elementary universe knights, secondary universe knights, senior universe knights… once they were annihilated, it would usually not take too long for them to be resurrected. It there was a delay, it would, at most, be 1,000 to 10,000 years.
But in the case of universe overlords, things were not that simple. In the whole of the Northern Territory Alliance, only Main Master of Alliance had the ability to resurrect a universe overlord! Other universe masters were unable to do so. Even if the Main Master of Alliance was caught up in some other matters for billions of years… no one would dare make a single utterance.
“Heck, let’s just submit our application to the Alliance. Then we will wait patiently.”
“Agreed. When Flourishing Light comes back, we will know how he was annihilated.”

The Original Star was closing up on the Land of Origin of the universe.
Cruising the sky of the Original Star… the feeling was wonderful. Luo Feng smiled while on the move, reminiscing about the battle earlier on.
“My first time going all out in a battle, the power is massive.” Luo Feng was extremely satisfied with his power. “It is unquestionably an ultimate technique of a universe master. The amount of godly power it consumes is alarming. If I did not have Remote Ocean body consistently supplementing me with energy, I think just that one stance alone would be enough to lose half of my godly body.”
Previously, in the Beast God sector, when Luo Feng and Ancestor were engaged in combat… he did not have to burn his godly body to become an undying body. When his body was not set ablaze, no matter how long he had to toil through a battle, he would not be consuming much of his godly power.
However, in the battle of life and death, Luo Feng had to burn his godly body! Like Qi Blood Palace Leader and Demon Sword Knight, when displaying their ultimate skills, they, too, would consume much of their godly bodies. And Luo Feng’s ultimate technique of a universe master, “Golden Light,” was on a much higher level compared to those of Qi Blood Palace Leader and Demon Sword Knight! Luo Feng’s consumption of energy was unintentional, but after the Golden Light absorbed his godly power… it consumed more than half his godly body! Of course, Remote Ocean body was rapidly supplementing him with what was lost.
What a large consumption! The force was insanely strong!
“Too strong!” said Luo Feng. “I could feel his ordinary true treasure armor becoming helplessly weak under my blade. If I were to just increase the strength of my attack by one level, I think I would have destroyed that true treasure.”
Luo Feng analyzed the situation himself. 9,800 times of the life genes level, 100 times of godly power amplification… Luo Feng’s godly body was not inferior to that of a general universe overlord! Even for the one and only special life forms—such as the World Tree in the Ancestral God Secret Region and the Cold Whale—they might be universe overlords, but their battling powers were comparable to those of universe masters. And their godly powers were purer than Luo Feng’s by just two levels!
But Luo Feng’s ultimate technique of a universe master was stronger than those of the World Tree and Cold Whale by two levels! The advantages he had in terms of his secret technique made up for the lack of godly power. The moment Luo Feng displayed his ultimate technique of a universe master, he would be comparable to the powerful special life forms of universe overlords!
“His true treasure armor was simply sub-standard, weakened to only half his power. Of course his godly body would be annihilated. If he had a senior true treasure armor, I guess, I might only have been able to injure him. To kill him, I would have needed a few more strikes.”
This exemplified the importance of armor. Even for universe masters, not many could achieve attacks that would bring Force Armor to its limit.
“180 million years of cultivation has indeed brought me great success.”
Luo Feng nodded with satisfaction. He was highly accomplished in the studies of pictures of secret engravings, making the mastering of space laws a breeze. Although it had only been a few days since he left the Beast God sector, he already comprehended the final space law, which was none other than the mysterious and complex “Strangulation.” Now, all he needed to do was combine three space laws, namely, “Teleportation,” “Space Sealing,” and “Strangulation,” into one. Then he would become a universe master.
However, the final stage posed a small challenge to Luo Feng. Just like how some great beings were highly accomplished in space laws, yet were stuck in the final stage of the gold laws, Luo Feng was highly successful until now. He was slightly affected at his current stage. Just like Sitting Mountain Guest had said, a breakthrough could happen anytime, regardless of how slow he was. 1,000 years would be more than enough to become a universe master.
“When I become a universe overlord, my godly body will be comparable to powerful special life forms like World Tree and Cold Whale. I will be even stronger in my techniques. By then, I will have to go all-out in becoming a universe master.”
Luo Feng was secretly looking forward to this.
“By then, I will be able to make use of Star Tower readily.”
Luo Feng smiled, then continued flying. He was waiting… Waiting for the next great being like Flourishing Light horde leader to make a move against him.
“Bring it on. I am the mobile treasury.” Luo Feng smirked.

In one of the hilly valleys amidst the deserted plains, three senior universe knights from the Thorn Ring Alliance were hiding. They were silently waiting for energy waves. Among them, Ji Qi Knight was appalled when he raised his head to look up at the sky. He immediately transmitted what he found aloud.
“Look, look! That is the human form of Luo Feng!”
“Luo Feng? Are you referring to the human fellow who is always so lucky?”
The other two universe knights looked up with a jerk. The three looked very carefully and tried to make out who the figure was. Silver armor, silver wings, and a black-haired human form…
“It is him! It’s the human form of Luo Feng.”
“It’s him. He has at least six true treasures on him! And that is definitely a soul type true treasure, and even possibly a flying-palace type true treasure.”
“He dares to come to the Original Star. This extraordinary genius really thinks he’s invincible? Such arrogance…”
“Arrogance is good. He is a mobile treasury in human form. But this human form of Luo Feng might have a strong backing.”
“What backing? Even if there is a universe overlord in the Word Ring protecting him in secret, what can he do?”
The weeds around them kept them hidden from view. As they looked up at the figure flying across the sky, all three felt their hearts burning…
The shortest yet sturdiest four-hoofed being transmitted his thoughts as the other two universe knights immediately lent him their undivided attention.
“We have to succeed. Our powers put together will be far stronger than his. Once he escapes, he will take off at a speed near light speed. Then we will not be able to catch up anymore. I have a plan, and I will make it a point to prevent him from escaping.”
