On Redbud Island.

“Look! Luo Feng showed up, and he’s flying toward the square in front of the palace of the island owner.”

Two undying fighters of the demon race were chatting in one of the palaces, but they stared at Luo Feng who was flying in the distance. Their task was to monitor his every move.

After a short while, Luo Feng went into the water curtain and disappeared, and the two undying fighters began reporting.

Expression: smile.

Wearing: silver armor.

They checked each other’s notes before they made a detailed report.

The undying fighter with a grey shell on his back said in a hoarse voice, “It’s been so many years, and all the powers in the universe know that our race, the bug race, and the automaton race want to kill that Luo Feng! However, nothing’s happened. We all know Luo Feng has the power of a top-tier universe overlord. If we don’t do it quickly, we won’t be able to do anything if he becomes a universe master!”

“We can’t blame our race. Luo Feng’s been hiding on Redbud Island. What can we do about it?” A black eye was staring at the square. “Strange. Why is Luo Feng still at the fifth level on the beast god path?”

The ranking was clear on Redbud Island. All those at the third level of the beast god path were in the same ranking, and all those at the fourth level were at the same ranking… Luo Feng had entered the fifth level 62 years ago! Apparently, he was still practicing the fifth level on beast god path. It made him look powerful, but a top-tier universe overlord needed to be at least at the seventh level.

“Stupid! He’s at the fifth level on the beast god path! Do you know how much he has achieved on the path of space and time? Perhaps he’s almost finished it and become a universe master.”

“Makes sense. But how did he improve so much in such a short time?”

“Who knows? But if he didn’t, there’s no need to kill him now.”

“Look, he came out.”

The two undying fighters of the demon race stared at Luo Feng and kept monitoring every one of his moves. They might be able to extrapolate some important information based on the messages on the surface.

Luo Feng was flying back to his palace.

At least 100 candidates are spying on me, thought Luo Feng with a smirk.

All the candidates from other powers wrote, “Luo Feng smirked at someone.”

I might be able to complete the fifth level after a year or two.

It only took him half a month to complete the fourth level, which represented Beast God Claw. However, the fifth level represented Beast God Horn, which was more intricate, and hence, it took more time. Luo Feng went to the land of inheritance one every two or three months.

After 62 years, he almost finished the fifth level. Besides, advancing on the path of beast god also made it easier for Luo Feng to create techniques using engraving pictures, and he even got inspirations when studying Star Tower and created a pinnacle technique of universe masters and an ultimate technique of universe overlords named “Golden Mountain” and “Level Mountain,” respectively.

The incredible techniques Luo Feng had created were ultimate techniques of universe masters, “Golden Light,” a pinnacle technique of universe masters, “Golden Mountain,” and two ultimate techniques of universe overlords: “Mist” and “Level Mountain.”

Of course, these were not important compared to studying “Star Tower”! Although he had created two incredible techniques, Luo Feng was still only able to utilize the first level of engravings on Star Tower. As for the second level, he had understood most of them, but it would still take him some time before he could utilize the second level.

“I’m only able to use the first move of Star Tower, ‘Pierce’! As for the second move, ‘Smash,’ I might need to completely understand the second level of the engravings to fully wield its power.”

Luo Feng dove toward his palace and continued his peaceful life. He knew it was a short moment of peacefulness before a storm came!

******

The human race was also following Luo Feng. At the moment, Long Yan Master and Primal Chaos City Leader were talking.

“It’s okay. Luo Feng has been staying on Redbud Island, and it’s safe for him to do so. Chaos, why did you let him go out? It’s safest for him to stay in Chaos City. It’ll still be dangerous for him to go out of the human territory. Even in the Ancestral God School, great beings of the bug race, the demon race, the automaton race, and the Northern Territory Alliance might cooperate with each other and attack Luo Feng.”

“I wouldn’t have stopped him as he insisted on going out. He has a soul type true treasure, and he has an incredible mind and willpower! Even if he runs into dangers he can’t deal with, he can explode himself, as he as the clone technique. There’s nothing to worry about.

******

Long Yan Master was right to be concerned. The bug race, the demon race, and the automaton race had been nervous because Luo Feng kept staying on Redbud Island. They didn’t dare to send a universe master there as they would definitely be annihilated by Five-Color Aurora Lake! It was not worth it to sacrifice a universe master to do that.

“Damn it.”

“Is that human Luo Feng going to stay on Redbud Island forever?”

“He’s been on Redbud Island for a long time, but nothing has happened. All he needs is practice, and he must be wanting to finish comprehension on Redbud Island! He has that kind of power. Though he hasn’t achieved much on the beast god path, he’s almost reached the perfect level on the path of space and time, and that’s why he uses the beast god path as a reference! Perhaps he might make a breakthrough by studying different paths.”

“We can’t waste our time anymore. The longer we delay, the better it’ll be for Luo Feng.”

All three pinnacle races got nervous. They wanted to wait for Luo Feng to leave Redbud Island by himself, but it had been 62 years.

In the sky, three entities pierced through the distance in the space and arrived at a starry sky. There were three blurry, towering beings.

One of them was breathtaking, and there were halos around it. The being itself could make a universe knight hallucinate. A phantom of a giant oval was floating. There was another being that looked like tens of thousands of snakes, and a giant silver snake head was looking around. The sky around it was twisted into whirlpools.

“Dream Tea, where is Shock Horn?” said the giant black oval.

“I’ll represent our demon race,” said the silver snake’s head. Their voices immediately transmitted to the other two sides, as if the original operation law was rendered useless here. “Automaton, you called me and the bug race here. Both Bug Race Empress and I are here. Let’s talk.”

“Speak, Automaton.”

“Okay,” said the black oval. “A little one named Luo Feng rose within the human race. His power’s been surging fast, and there’ll be another great being within the human race if we let him roam free. Besides, he has clone technique, and it’ll be difficult for us to kill him in the future. We must kill him as soon as possible.”

“Of course we must,” the breathtaking being said. “But how? He’s in the center of Ancestral God School! Even universe masters will be killed by that Five-Color Aurora Lake! Besides, we’ll be messing with the Ancestral God School if we send someone in and break its law… The repercussion will be more catastrophic than having another Primal Chaos City Leader in the human race! In the original universe, the Ancestral God School is the guardian of the operation law, and nobody can outpower it!”

“I agree with what the Empress said,” the silver snake head said. “We want to kill him too, but how?”

“If none of us want to become enemies of the Ancestral God School, we just need to ask a lone universe supreme master to do our bidding,” the black oval said. “We’re afraid because we have our race to worry about, but those lone ones don’t need to worry. So what if they kill Luo Feng at the center of the Ancestral God School?”

“Lone universe supreme masters?”

Both the breathtaking figure and the silver snake head were hesitant.

“It’s going to cost a lot!” the breathtaking being said.

“Asking a lone universe supreme master to kill a peerless genius at the center of the Ancestral God School…” the silver snake head said. “It’ll upset both the Ancestral God School and Huge Axe! Though those lone ones don’t care, it’ll be costly to ask them.”

“Each of you, give me three top-tier true treasures! I’ll do it!” the black oval said.

“Three top-tier true treasures?”

Both the breathtaking being and silver snake head were hesitant. The breathtaking being said, “Even if you add three more top-tier true treasures, they’ll be worth a pinnacle true treasure… One pinnacle true treasure might not be enough to convince a universe supreme master to do such things. Who are you going to ask? Sitting Mountain Guest? Shi Hua Island Leader?”

“That’s not your concern. Just give me three top-tier true treasures each, and I’ll ask a universe supreme master to do it. If I fail, I’ll give them back. I don’t need to lie for those top-tier true treasure.”

“Okay.”

“Sure. Luo Feng’s life is worth three top-tier true treasures.”

Both of them agreed.

“Great.” The giant black oval disappeared, followed by the other two.

The sky turned peaceful again. Nobody could have known that three of the greatest beings in the universe had just held a conversation there.
