Chapter 977: Fight
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bark Mirror Emperor, chasing Luo Feng, was also trapped in the space turbulence, where there were all kinds of space fragments. Each space fragment was as enormous as a planet, which slowed him down as he rampaged among the fragments. He couldn't concentrate on chasing Luo Feng anymore. However, instead of becoming upset, Bark Mirror Emperor grew joyful.
"True treasures are indeed impressive!" he shouted. "But you, as a mere human, are not qualified for such true treasures. As a special organism, only I am good enough for them! Give me the true treasures, and I'll spare your life."
Hong!
Bark Mirror Emperor's force surged; he was already burning his godly body. For true treasures, he was willing to burn his godly body. Besides, the Northern Territory Alliance provided him with endless resources just to attract him, and he had abundant valuables to use to recover his godly body.
Hong!
Bark Mirror Emperor had a godly body that was more powerful than that of an ordinary knight, and once he started to burn it, his power soared.
Hong, long, long!
Bark Mirror Emperor sped up again, opening a wide portal among the space turbulence and crushing all the space fragments in his way.
Luo Feng sensed Bark Mirror Emperor's speed skyrocket, nearly catching up to him.
"I'm slower than him…!" Luo Feng realized. He shook his wings.
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
He started to change directions continuously like a butterfly, pausing, darting, then zigzagging back and forth. Sometimes he rushed forward, sometimes he flew to his left, and sometimes he made a sharp turn. Generally, the faster one went, the more difficult it was to change directions. It was just like a sports car—the greater the speed, the higher the risk of rolling the vehicle while trying to navigate a turn.
Bark Mirror Emperor was unprepared for this. "He's quite maneuverable!"
Bark Mirror Emperor was following Luo Feng as his directions changed. When flying straight, Luo Feng couldn't match Bark Mirror Emperor's speed, even he performed the second form of Shi Wu Wing and caused space turbulence. However, Bark Mirror Emperor panicked as he attempted to quickly change direction.
"Seal!" Bark Mirror Emperor got furious and used his undying power to suppress Luo Feng, but it was torn by Luo Feng's Shi Wu Wings.
"Bark Mirror Emperor, why are you coming after me?" Luo Feng said. "My wings were given to me by a universe master. Even if you take them, they will be taken back in the future."
"Haha! Don't scare me with universe masters," said Bark Mirror Emperor excitedly. "The Northern Territory Alliance has universe masters, too! No wonder it's a true treasure. My constitution is way better than yours, and I'm faster than you. But I'm not as maneuverable. I can only speed up again and again to make sure you can't get away."
******
Here Crow Knight and the other five undying heirs flew in the sky above the Nine Remoteness Ocean as they watched Bark Mirror Emperor hunt Blade River Emperor.
"Bark Mirror Emperor can't catch up with Blade River Emperor even after burning his godly body? Those wings really must be a true treasure."
"Burning his godly body can speed him up, but the faster he gets, the more difficult it is for him to change his directions," Here Crow Knight said. "Bark Mirror Emperor can only guarantee that he's not left far behind. He should be attacking now."
******
Bark Mirror Emperor couldn't catch up. After a while, a purple crystal ball showed up in front of him.
Sou!
The purple crystal ball flew above Luo Feng much faster than Bark Mirror Emperor under his undying power. It quickly expanded and turned into a huge purple star with a diameter of thousands of miles, and a massive hole appeared under it.
Hong, long, long!
A whirlpool formed in the hole, and a forceful, swallowing power dashed Luo Feng. Under its effects, Luo Feng couldn't maintain his balance.
"This is my sealing treasure," Bark Mirror Emperor said with a laugh. "Though I can't comprehend all of space law, with this treasure and my burning godly body, my sealing skills are better than that of a universe knight. Let's see you break free of that!"
Luo Feng was trapped within an endless swallowing force.
Usually, creatures attack their enemies first and then seal an enemy when they are severely injured and can't put up a fight anymore, Luo Feng roared in his heart. Yet you attempt to seal me first? Not possible!
"Shi Wu Wing, break it!"
Suddenly, the edges of his Shi Wu Wings sliced the surrounding space into pieces.
Of the many different kinds of treasures, sealing treasures were effective for sealing, but they had weak attacking power. Unless the great being was significantly inferior to the treasure, it was impossible for a sealing treasure to swallow a great being.
Chi, chi, chi, chi!
Shi Wu Wing kept slicing the space, and Luo Feng finally broke out.
"Huh?" Bark Mirror Emperor was dazed, but then he smirked. "True treasures are indeed impressive. Blade River Emperor, I didn't want to kill you in the first place, but now, you brought this upon yourself."
Bark Mirror Emperor opened his mouth…
"Silence!"
Everything turned quiet in the sky and land as Bark Mirror Emperor opened his mouth incredibly wide.
Here Crow Knight and the other five undying heirs were terrified and began murmuring to each other.
"If Bark Mirror Emperor howls, Blade River Emperor won't survive it!"
"But Blade River Emperor has clone technique."
"Either way, this body is not going to survive it, and his true treasures will fall into the hands of Bark Mirror Emperor."
Here Crow Knight had the same thought, as Bark Mirror Emperor's two talent techniques were distinctive in the universe. One of them was inspection, and the other was attack. He could see everything with his inspection technique… but he could crush a soul with his attacking technique.
The moment Bark Mirror Emperor opened his mouth, Luo Feng felt an invisible force.
"Howl!"
Even Luo Feng was knocked unconscious by this attack's immensely powerful will. The soul roar was trying to annihilate his very soul.
Meanwhile, Tower Pearl, which guarded the core of Luo Feng's soul, suddenly appeared, started to shine, and surrounded his soul. The roaring continued.
In front of Luo Feng's soul, Bark Mirror Emperor's head appeared, its phantom image opening its bloody mouth and bellowing at Luo Feng.
Weng-weng-weng!
The Tower Pearl started to tremble.
Luo Feng's soul shook. The willpower around his soul had been destroyed. Only his core, which was being protected by Tower Pearl, resisted the force.
"Howl!"
Weng!
Tower Pearl strived to protect the soul.
Luo Feng regained consciousness. "How terrifying!" he mumbled, startled by the realization of what had just happened. "Before the Tower Pearl showed up, that attack knocked me unconscious. Apparently, I can't resist it in the slightest. If it weren't for the Tower Pearl, I would've been crushed. Even the Tower Pearl had a hard time resisting it."
The more powerful the special organisms were, the more incredible their talent techniques were. Silver Eye was merely mediocre. Special organisms like Bark Mirror Emperor and Zhu Chong Emperor were the real talents.
"Time to run…!"
Luo Feng dove toward the Nine Remoteness Ocean, knowing he couldn't get away no matter how skillfully he changed directions. Nine Remoteness Ocean was the largest and most dangerous place in Nine Remoteness Space, especially with considering the Nine Remoteness Whirlpool, but Luo Feng couldn't worry about that right now.
Peng!
Water in the ocean was blasted away as Luo Feng traveled down into the Nine Remoteness Ocean.
"Impossible!" Bark Mirror Emperor said, blown away by what he had just seen. He couldn't believe Blade River Emperor could resist the attack he was proudest of. His face was twitching as he dove into Nine Remoteness Ocean.
******
In the sky above the ocean.
Here Crow Knight and the other five undying heirs were dazed.
"He resisted it?"
"He didn't die?"
They found it unbelievable.
Here Crow Knight kept shaking his head. "Bark Mirror Emperor's godly body is so powerful that he can rival universe knights. Now that he's burning his undying power to perform his talent technique, that attack can rival that of a universe overlord. How could the human, Blade River Emperor, withstand that?"
"Here Crow Knight," said another heir, "Bark Mirror Emperor has the power of a universe knight, and he just burned his power to use his talent technique. How could Blade River Emperor repel that power? Unless… he has another true treasure used to protect his soul!"
"A true treasure to protect his soul?" The other heirs were dazed.
"That's right, a true treasure," Here Crow Knight said, nodding. "He has a soul, and he himself can't defend against that attack. It had to be the true treasure—a true treasure used to protect his soul! Bark Mirror Emperor has two true treasures. The humans value Blade River Emperor so much that it's certainly possible he has two true treasures."
"Two true treasures!" Other five heirs couldn't believe it.
"This is insane," said Here Crow Knight, incredibly jealous. He was a universe knight, yet he didn't have even one.
Bark Mirror Emperor and Zhu Chong Emperor both had two true treasures, and so did Blade River Emperor.
"If I'm lucky enough to have it, I'll just hide," said Here Crow Knight. "Two treasures, one used to flee and the other used to protect my soul."
Aggression flashed across Here Crow Knight's eyes. He dove toward the ocean, too.
******
In the cold, oppressive ocean, the water emanated a heart-stopping force.
Hong, long, long!
Bark Mirror Emperor kept chasing Luo Feng and kept and space sealed. At the same time, he roared, "Human, there's no way you can escape. You could withstand my talent technique attack, which means you have a real treasure to protect your soul! It has to be! They're both mine! Mine!"
Bark Mirror Emperor had gone crazy. A true treasure to protect souls was much rarer and much more precious than a flying true treasure.
Sou!
Luo Feng kept changing his direction in Nine Remoteness Ocean and dove deeper and deeper into this deadly area.
