Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Light Perception Knight heard his intelligent robot servant scream eagerly. He opened his eyes and saw Luo Feng step out of the door.
"Blade River Emperor!"
Hostility flashed through Light Perception Knight's eyes, and murderous rage filled his heart. He had waited 900 years for this moment.
"A universe knight for a sector lord. You should be flattered, Blade River Emperor!"
Light Perception Knight suddenly disappeared.
******
The seniors from Northern Territory Alliance, Prison Race Alliance, and the Nine Territory Alliance stared at the palace of Blade River Emperor. The seniors had clear orders, and the demon race, the automaton race, and the bug race would send assassins to kill the human, Blade River Emperor.
"Do you think it will be the doom of Blade River Emperor or the loss of the three peak races?" they mused.
"How will they kill Blade River Emperor?"
Over 10,000 heirs were watching in secret, holding their breath.
******
Luo Feng walked out the door with a smile on his face. He waved his hands, and the door closed.
Without any warning, a huge figure appeared in front of Luo Feng. It was a beast from another race, and it was covered with mud. Its eyes looked misty but filled with aggressiveness.
Rumble!
The beast fluttered towards Luo Feng at an incredibly fast speed. Its body emanated an aura that could tremble the surroundings. Its godly body was burning.
"Um…" said Luo Feng.
Light Perception Knight witnessed the beast covered with mud appearing by teleportation. He was dazed. Mud Swallowing Knight!
Light Perception Knight was sharp enough to evade the scene by flying a thousand miles away.
"That Mud Swallowing Knight is trying to kill Blade River Emperor too?" Light Perception Knight was surprised. "I'll watch first. I only teleported nearby, without attacking him first, so the five-color aurora lake wouldn't I planned to kill Luo Feng. I'll see how this plays out."
******
Luo Feng was attacked by Mud Swallowing Knight's burning godly body the moment he stepped out of his palace.
"Shi Wu Wing!" Luo Feng shouted, his body trembling. Wings appeared at his back, and he tried to dodge the attack.
Rumble!
A beam of godly power drilled into Luo Feng's brain, trying to control Luo Feng.
"Trying to make me a slave?" said Luo Feng. "It won't be that easy!"
Luo Feng had an incredibly firm will. Under the attack of the godly power, Luo Feng's soul wasn't tempted at all.
"Went!"
Tower Pearl was guarding the beast god soul and defended it from that godly power. Mud Swallowing Knight, who had moved quite close to Luo Feng, was surprised to find that he had failed to control Blade River Emperor's mind. He was a universe knight, and even burning his godly body wasn't enough to do it.
Rumble!
The five-color aurora lake, which was normally tranquil, started to vibrate fiercely. Traces of aurora dove toward Mud Swallowing Knight. However, Mud Swallowing knight was already burning his godly body before Luo Feng, and he was speedy. He didn't even glance at the terrifying five-color aurora.
"Die!" Mud Swallowing Knight opened his mouth.
Hua La!
His enormous tongue, covered with drops of muddy water, came at Luo Feng like a charging wall. This was one of his talent techniques. His tongue had tremendous eroding power. Even universe knights' godly bodies couldn't resist it.
Luo Feng's Shi Wu Wing was indeed fast, but it couldn't compare to a universe knight's burning godly body. Mud Swallowing Knight stuck out his tongue like a frog, and it struck fast as lightning. Luo Feng was captured before he could move a muscle.
Heng!
Luo Feng looked at Mud Swallowing Knight the second he was captured. Mud Swallowing Knight disregarded it.
The second that giant tongue entangled Luo Feng, the eroding power went to work. Shi Wu Wing wasn't eroded in the slightest, but Luo Feng's armor immediately started to crack. Holes were burned through it.
The tongue ate through the armor and lashed against Luo Feng's body like a whip. The eroding power didn't kill Luo Feng, but the force was extraordinary.
Rumble!
Even with Luo Feng's defending power, his body could not stand up to the powerful attack. In an instant, he was annihilated—his body turned into nothing. All that was left was his broken armor, his complete wings, the tower pearl, the star map, a drop of general soul, and his solid world ring.
Hua! Hua! Hua! Hua! Hua! Hua!
Five color auroras dived. They were like beams of lightning arrows, and they locked the surrounding space, preventing Mud Swallowing from teleporting himself to freedom. He was within the range of five-color aurora lake.
"Haha…" Mud Swallowing Knight lifted his head and roared. He stared at the diving aurora. There was no shame in dying at the hands of the guarding true treasure of the Ancestral God School.
The auroras were over 10,000 kilometers long. However, they were shrinking as they fell, narrowing to the size of arrows.
Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!
The arrows pierced through Mud Swallowing Knight's body. Instantly, most of the body vanished like foam. A moment after that, what little remained also disappeared while the auroras flew back.
Everything went silent.
The five auroras were still flying gradually. The damaged ground in front of Luo Feng's palace was suddenly fully repaired, as spotless as a snowfield in Ice Hell.
"Dead…" gasped Light Perception Knight.
He had watched from afar. The five-color aurora lake, ranked among the most powerful true treasures in the universe, was so mighty that it had annihilated a universe knight instantly. The five-color aurora lake was indeed terrifically forceful.
Light Perception Knight felt fortunate, scared, and regretful all at once.
Anyway, now that Blade River Emperor is dead, I'll report back to the bug race, Light Perception Knight thought.
******
The heirs watching the events from afar were all dazed.
"Blade River Emperor died? Just like that?"
"He's dead?"
"He was annihilated!"
And they began to spread the news.
******
Among the stars, Master of Sky Wolf received the news almost at the same time.
"Haha! Mud Swallowing Knight killed Blade River Emperor," he growled gleefully, surrounded by flames. "Haha! He's dead. That annoying little one is dead. I hope Mud Swallowing Knight managed to control his mind before he was killed. Either way, I've achieved my goal. The Primal Chaos City Leader was trying to protect that human all this time. What a shame. Even the Primal Chaos City Leader wouldn't dare trespass on the holy grounds of the Ancestral God School."
Master of Sky Wolf stood in front of Sky Wolf Palace and roared joyfully, shaking all of the surrounding space, exhilarated not only because the human genius had been destroyed, but because he had finally gained his revenge.

On Bauhinia Island, lots of flying shadows approached. Almost all the heirs from the various races came out of their palaces. The energy waves created by Mud Swallowing Knight's burning godly body had been massive, and the auroras from the five-color aurora lake had rocked the surrounding space. Everyone knew that something terrible had happened.
"What happened?" said Seven Blade Emperor as he arrived. He had teleported himself to Luo Feng's palace the second he sensed the waves caused by a universe knight's burning godly power. He had witnessed the auroras killing Mud Swallowing Knight, but Mud Swallowing Knight's tongue had shrouded Luo Feng's body by the time he'd made it there, so Seven Blade Emperor hadn't even seen Luo Feng.
"Who did Mud Swallowing Knight kill? Why did the auroras come down?" Seven Blade Emperor asked, confused.
"Seven Blade Emperor," answered several onlookers.
Cha Man Emperor, Li Li Emperor, and Thousand Rain Emperor all arrived via teleportation.
"Who died?" asked Thousand Rain Emperor. "Who did the five-color aurora lake kill?"
They were less informed than Seven Blade Emperor and hadn't even witnessed the death of Mud Swallowing Knight.
"It was Mud Swallowing Knight," said Seven Blade Emperor, "but I don't know who he killed—ah!"
Seven Blade Emperor's eyes went wide as he noticed the treasures scattered in front of the palace. They belonged to Mud Swallowing Knight and Luo Feng. Mud Swallowing Knight had known he was going to die. Hence, he had left his precious treasures elsewhere. Luo Feng, on the other hand, had left quite a few. The most eye-catching one was the set of giant silver wings. Blade River Emperor was known for those wings, and rumor had it that the wings were a true treasure.
"Those wings… it was Blade River Emperor!" Seven Blade Emperor was dazed. He had already made up his mind to surpass Blade River Emperor, never expecting that something like this would happen. "It was Blade River Emperor who died. Blade River Emperor was killed by Mud Swallowing Knight!"
The voices of discussions among the other races came from afar. The sector lord who had garnered widespread fame across the universe—the heir who had gone through 620,000 battles and won a considerable number of glory points only two years after stepping in the land of inheritance—had just died? The news shocked every race.
"That was the wing left by the late Blade River Emperor," the onlookers said.
"A true treasure, that wing."
"Yes, you're right. That wing is a true treasure."
Lots of the heirs from other races were stupefied by the news that Blade River Emperor had just been killed. However, lots of cheering was heard, and even those universe knights watching the fight from afar were staring at the objects in front of Luo Feng's palace, especially those huge silver wings. The temptation of a true treasure couldn't be overstated.
