Swallowed Star
chapter-1069

After only a short while, Sitting Mountain Guest showed up at the peak of the mountain.

“Did you call me here for drinks?” Sitting Mountain Guest asked as he strolled toward Ancestor.

Ancestor pointed in the distance, standing beside the cliff. “Look at your disciple.”

“Luo Feng?” Sitting Mountain Guest looked in the direction Ancestor pointed and saw Luo Feng sitting beside a cliff. He appeared surprised and joyful after gazing for a while, then started to laugh, “Old Beast God, no one in the universe can rival you on the path of eight gods! However, this disciple of mine created a technique using the eight engraving pictures of gold beast god… Do you admit your defeat?”

“How can you say I’m going to lose before he even fights me?” Ancestor said.

Sitting Mountain Guest shook his head. “Stop quibbling.”

Ancestor didn’t continue about the upcoming fight. Instead, he exclaimed, “Your disciple is indeed impressive! It’s fair to say that he had some luck when creating the technique, but no one in history could practice the engraving pictures so well in only 180 million years without any instructions! Besides, he has comprehended the Heart of Beast God, and that’s why it’s easier for him to comprehend the eight engraving pictures of Gold Beast God. It’s easy for him to create universe-knight level techniques, and if he’s willing to devote his time and energy, he’ll be able to create the universe-overlord level ones as well.”

Even real universe overlords needed to spend an overwhelmingly long time to create universe-overlord level ultimate techniques. To some extent, even those on the engraving path were better at creating techniques. Luo Feng was at least at the senior-universe-knight level when it came to his accomplishments among those who were on the engraving path.

“The Heart of Beast God?” Sitting Mountain Guest looked pleased. Then he guffawed. “A pleasant surprise! What a pleasant surprise, indeed!”

“He’s a Golden Horned Beast, which makes him a descendant of beast gods!” Ancestor exclaimed. “His bloodline inheritance is close to Gold Beast God… And with his research into those eight engraving pictures, he can finally comprehend the Heart of Beast God. He is indeed lucky, but I can’t say it’s because of luck alone.”

“Hahaha…!” Sitting Mountain Guest laughed heartily.

“Look at you.” Ancestor shook his head.

No wonder Sitting Mountain Guest was so proud. The accomplishments on engraving path could help law comprehension to a great extent. There wouldn’t be many barriers until Luo Feng became a universe overlord… Especially with the Heart of Beast God… It would now be easier for him to proceed along the beast god path! Heart of Beast God was the greatest challenge to turn from a universe overlord into a universe master, and that problem was now solved. Although it was still extremely difficult for him to become a universe master, he at least had a much higher chance.

Sitting Mountain Guest glanced at Ancestor and rejoiced inside.

Little do you know that this disciple of mine obtained inherited techniques before, and he can better study the engraving pictures with the instruction from the engraving picture of his supreme inherited technique. Regardless, it’s still impressive of him to create a supreme inherited technique and comprehend the Heart of Beast God in only 180 million years.

Sitting Mountain Guest looked down.

******

In front of the cliff.

The energy from the sculpture of the engraving picture was equivalent to that of the three ultimate techniques of universe masters.

“I did it,” said Luo Feng. “It’s an ultimate technique of universe masters.”

Luo Feng stood in front of the cliff for a long time. He felt like he was in a dream.

“I did it,” he repeated, “after 180 million years.”

Luo Feng was confident that he could create ultimate techniques of universe overlords. As for ultimate techniques of universe masters… It would involve some luck.

Luo Feng suddenly looked to the sky and transmitted his voice.

“Ancestor,” he said. “I challenge you.”

Ancestor, wearing in a white cape, quickly flew in from afar. He landed on the ground and smiled at Luo Feng.

“You’re going to challenge me?” he said.

“Yes,” answered Luo Feng.

Luo Feng knew that even if he lost, he could keep doing research and trying. After all, all he needed to do was to defeat Ancestor within 100,000 eras.

“What weapon should I use?” Luo Feng asked.

“Let’s use our bare hands, shall we?” Ancestor raised his left hand. This godly body of his had been transformed from other elements.

“Hands?” said Luo Feng.

He was taken aback. Hands as weapons?

“You’ve already comprehended the Heart of Beast God,” said Ancestor. “Don’t you think your hands are weapons?”

Luo Feng was startled. Thousands of years’ worth of memories flooded back. For beast gods traveling in the universe, their claws, tails, and horns all contained the beast god conception. Even the spiritual force weapons were the bodies of beast gods… At this moment, Luo Feng felt as though the enormous gap between close combat and spiritual force weapons had disappeared. The techniques he had created could be used both for close combat and as spiritual force weapons.

“Warrior path and spiritual force leader path… They’re the same.” Luo Feng was bewildered.

“You’ve comprehended the Heart of Beast God.” Ancestor smiled. “If you didn’t, you had to focus on either the warrior path or the spiritual force leader path… After all, mixing them together is bad for comprehending the Heart of Beast God. Besides, beast gods are naturally better at using their godly bodies to fight, which is why those on the warrior path are better at comprehending the Heart of Beast God and finally become beast gods.”

Luo Feng nodded.

Primal Chaos City Leader had told him this before and insisted that he concentrate on the warrior path! However, for the past 180 million years, he had set aside the warrior path and spiritual force leader path, instead focusing on the engraving picture path. Without realizing it, he had fully comprehended the Heart of Beast God.

“Do you still need weapons?” Ancestor asked.

Luo Feng smiled. “If beast gods can use their claws, then I can use my hands as well.”

Ancestor stood still. “Attack,” he commanded.

Luo Feng looked from afar and used the Mosha body for the combat. After all, Ancestor would also use the godly body at the same level.

Hong!

Countless engravings started to flow on Luo Feng’s godly body, and he dashed toward Ancestor like a beam of golden light. At this moment, Luo Feng felt the beast god in his body charging his competitor. The attack contained the beast god path and also contained ultimate techniques of universe masters. The attack was fierce and quick—faster than the Shi Wu Wings!

“Break!”

Luo Feng arrived at where Ancestor stood. He grabbed Ancestor as his left hand became a claw, and the engravings on its fingers started to connect with each other.

Peng!

Ancestor waved his hand, and they clashed. Ancestor took a step back.

“Hahaha…!” Luo Feng felt overjoyed. The memories of the beast god merged with him at this moment.

Charge!

Claws!

Legs!

Luo Feng was absorbed in the golden light, and the roaring of beast gods resounded around him.

Fast!

Sharp!

Ancestor was suppressed. Although he tried to resist it, Luo Feng was getting more and more skilled, as if he truly were a beast god.

Peng!

His fingers were sharp like claws.

Pu!

They pierced through Ancestor’s chest.

Ancestor looked down, smiled, and nodded. He took a step back, and his godly body recovered.

“You won,” he said.

Luo Feng, standing in the golden light, was dazed. Had he actually defeated Ancestor? Ancestor would only perform universe-master level pinnacle techniques, and though he could only maintain his godly body at the same level as Luo Feng’s, he was still Ancestor, after all… It was a surreal feeling to have defeated Ancestor!

“Thank you, Ancestor,” Luo Feng said respectfully.

Ancestor had focused on defense from the beginning of the combat, which was why Luo Feng had been able to make better and better attacks, and thus, fully understand the way Beast Gods fought.

“No need to thank me,” said Ancestor, shaking his head and smiling. “I performed the best defense pinnacle techniques of universe masters, but I still failed to defend against you. I might have won if I had attacked first, but you will still win over me after several challenges. There’s no need to waste time.”

Luo Feng was full of gratitude. He had benefited so much in the past 180 million years in the Beast God Sector.

The Heart of Beast God was a pleasant surprise, and the engraving picture path was a brand new path for him. Plus, he had created an ultimate technique of the universe master level.

“Hahaha…!” A guffaw resounded around him, followed by a shadow.

Sitting Mountain Guest looked at Luo Feng from afar. After 180 million years, this disciple of his had finally evolved! In the past, Luo Feng hadn’t had much time to practice. He stood among the great beings because of the enormous godly body and Force Armor, but when it came to laws and techniques, he was significantly weaker. Yet his law comprehension and techniques had now reached an incredibly eminent level—even better than many universe overlords.

“I’ve accumulated enough,” said Sitting Mountain Guest. “I believe this disciple of mine will have an easy time becoming a universe overlord. Perhaps the only difficulty he’s going to have is becoming a universe master.”

Sitting Mountain Guest was satisfied. Flame Emperor had disappointed him, which was why he had devoted all his resources and time to his third disciple. Fortunately, his third disciple hadn’t upset him.

The laughter attracted both Luo Feng and Ancestor.

“Master?” Luo Feng was dazed by the shadow flying toward him.

“Sitting Mountain Guest,” said Ancestor with a smile. “Don’t be smug. Your disciple is indeed impressive… However, don’t forget that he has a golden horned beast body, and his soul has completely merged with the godly body. It’s almost impossible to tell whether he’s a human or a golden horned beast. Who will say no if I insist that he’s a golden horned beast?”

“That’s between your alliance and the humans,” Sitting Mountain Guest said as he landed. “It has nothing to do with me. Whether this disciple of mine belongs to the human race or Space Beast Alliance doesn’t concern me at all.”

Luo Feng stepped forward and said, “Master.”

“Okay…” Sitting Mountain Guest smiled and nodded. He glanced at Ancestor. “Don’t forget our bet!”
