Swallowed Star
chapter-1112

When two beings of comparable powers were pitted against one another, the rebound force during a head-on confrontation would normally cause Luo Feng to reduce speed or fall backward. Yet, at that very moment, the difference was extreme!

Luo Feng was using his ultimate technique of a universe master level as though he was truly a universe master. After one strike, he was hot on Sky Flower Knight’s heels right away, dealing another strike to the godly body of his opponent, which was already thrown a distance away!

Not good, thought Sky Flower Knight. One strike after the another, in nine strikes, I will be completely annihilated.

Sky Flower Knight no longer had the time to feel shocked over the fact that Luo Feng had become a universe master. To him, the utmost concern at the moment was escaping for dear life.

“White needle!”

Right behind Sky Flower Knight, a huge, white, shuttle-shaped object suddenly appeared. It was approximately 600 miles long, all white, and was extremely shiny and smooth. It took the shape of a shuttle, and once it appeared, it flew straight toward Sky Flower Knight, who happened to accelerate in the direction of the shuttle-shaped object upon receiving a second strike from Luo Feng. He immediately aimed for the entrance and inserted himself into the white shuttle-shaped object. After entering the flying shuttle, Sky Flower Knight heaved a sigh of relief.

“I was almost killed by Luo Feng,” he said. Sky Flower Knight’s blood-red eye behind his snow-white hair was filled with trepidation. “Too powerful! When Luo Feng first started using his power, it was only a fragment of his full power. He is holding back on what he truly is capable of! Thereafter, that explosive display of power… It was totally on the level of a universe master!”

“Scheming!” continued Sky Flower Knight. “He is so scheming! That one strike… It was so fast I didn’t have time to dodge, so strong I didn’t have the power to ward off, and so mysterious that it was unfathomable. I shall never be able to comprehend it. This is the technique of a universe master, and I’m afraid it might be the ultimate technique of a universe master. Only a universe master will be capable of creating such a technique, and only a universe master is capable of injuring me! This Luo Feng must have become a universe master and kept it under wraps!”

Sky Flower Knight was anxious yet getting emotional.

“Luckily, when I was contributing valuables to the race, I chose ‘White Needle’ during the exchange of true treasure and not the top-tier true treasure armor.”

Sky Flower Knight sighed to himself. As a top-tier universe knight, his wealth was far more sizable than an ordinary universe overlord after countless years of accumulation; furthermore, he had wandered about the Universe Ocean for a long time. There were many kinds of treasures, and during the opening of the Original Star this time, he naturally wanted to exchange with his race to earn an important true treasure for self-protection. At that time, he’d had two choices, one was to exchange for a top-tier true treasure armor (in the human race, 100 true treasure points would suffice); or two, to change for a senior flying-palace type true treasure (in the human race, the minimum amount for this would be around 200 true treasure points).

Obviously, a flying-palace type true treasure was more expensive! But he had gritted his teeth and made the decision to pay the price for that flying-palace type true treasure.

“I made the right choice,” he said. “If I had chosen the top-tier true treasure armor, my defense may have been strong, but Luo Feng’s attacks were scary. Even with a top-tier true treasure armor, one strike would be able to injure me by at least a fraction of 1,000th. This Luo Feng had me backed into a corner. Should I have been strike 1,000 times, I would have had no chance of escaping annihilation.”

Sky Flower Knight heaved a sigh of relief as he hid in his flying-palace type true treasure. Here, he was safe and did not need to feel scared.

Nine Tiger River was mighty and majestic. Luo Feng stood on its golden waves and looked afar at the white, flying shuttle that was hovering in mid-air. His expression changed involuntarily. “A flying-palace type true treasure!”

“Haha! Luo Feng!” a voice said, transmitted from the white flying shuttle. “I admire you. You are absolutely a genius, and out of all the billions of races in this vast universe, you are indeed the cream of the crop. Within such a short period of time, when other great beings have thought of you as a top-tier universe overlord, they would never have suspected that you had already become a universe master! If not for this flying-palace type true treasure, I think today would have been my last. Hahaha…! But now, I think it is just your luck!”

“Just my luck?” Luo Feng said, glaring at that white flying shuttle.

“Furious? Very angry?” Sky Flower Knight’s shrill voice mocked, transmitted over from that white flying shuttle. “But what can you do to me when I am in this flying palace? Even if you were tens or hundreds of times stronger, the most you could do would be to stare helplessly.”

Luo Feng did feel that he had made a blunder! He had made elaborate preparations for the “Battle to Fame” this time. He had devised counteractions for various possible unforeseen circumstances. He might have proven his capabilities, as witnessed by the numerous great beings watching the fight from afar—and Sky Flower Knight did admit that Luo Feng was indeed powerful—but after all this, one of the worst possible situations he had calculated had happened. Sky Flower Knight owned a flying-palace type true treasure.

In summation, there was no way he could make a clean kill and get rid of Sky Flower Knight! This battle would not end conclusively!

As for the question of whether he could force open the white flying shuttle? Luo Feng had no intentions of trying. A flying-palace type true treasure was the sturdiest type out of all treasures of the same level. Such treasures were the best at warding off material attacks! An ordinary flying-palace type true treasure, in terms of its degree of sturdiness, was comparable to that of a senior true treasure armor. A senior flying-palace type true treasure was thus comparable to a top-tier true treasure armor!

Like Sky Wolf Master’s Sky Wolf Palace, which was also a senior flying-palace type true treasure, it belonged to the minority of top-notch treasures, which, by the human race’s exchange rates, was worth about 800 to 900 true treasure points. With it, Sky Wolf Master was able to run rampant about the universe. Even Primal Chaos City Leader and Nine Remoteness Master were unable to force Sky Wolf Palace apart.

This flying shuttle was only slightly inferior to Sky Wolf Palace, but it was enough to run rampant in the universe. The majority of universe masters would not be able to do anything to it.

Sky Flower Knight, who owned such a flying-palace type true treasure, usually could only depend on soul attacks! But Luo Feng was not skilled in launching soul attacks.

“Humph!”

Sou!

Luo Feng put Nine Tiger River right away, transformed into light, and accelerated into space.

“Trying to escape?” said Sky Flower Knight.

The white flying shuttle followed closely and quickly.

******

Luo Feng and the white flying shuttle dashed through the sky, one after the other, while knights of different races watched from afar, dumbfounded.

“He actually had a flying-palace type true treasure.”

“Sky Flower Knight said that Luo Feng is a universe master!”

“Of course he is a universe master! How strong he is! If he is not a universe master, what else can he be? Even a top-tier universe overlord lost 10 percent of his godly body with just one strike from Luo Feng. Other than a universe master, who could be that powerful?”

******

“Sky Flower Knight, are you sure you want to shadow me like this?” Luo Feng said, looking behind him.

“Yes,” said the voice from the white flying shuttle voiced. “I have you under my watchful eye. There is no escape for you.”

Luo Feng swept one look at the gigantic white flying shuttle behind him, which was really something that he could not tackle. He was aware that the automaton race, bug soldiers, and demons had always been looking for information about his movements, so Sky Flower Knight would naturally be tracking down his exact coordinates and promptly informing the higher-ups of his demon clan everything he knew about Luo Feng.

Playing big? thought Luo Feng. I’m afraid it is time to depend on the ninth volume now.

Luo Feng’s eyes flashed with traces of murderous intention.

******

At the territory of demon clan, in the Dream Ancestors secret region.

The body that Sky Flower Knight left within his race was rapidly brought back to the Dream Ancestors secret region by a servant of god country transportation. Upon arriving at Dream Ancestor’s secret region, he immediately connected to “virtual space” with his consciousness.

Like the automaton race, the demon clan also created a virtual world of their own. Even for Earth, a simple virtual space, “palace of war gods,” was previously created, and it was merely based on a simple thought. To achieve the far-reaching influence that spread throughout the universe like the virtual universe, where all the laws were adhered to was a difficult feat. Yet if the area of virtual space was small and solely used for communication of information, that was much simpler and more achievable.

The demon clan had such a virtual space. It was an area that enveloped the Dream Ancestors secret region.

Within the virtual space of the demon clan, amidst the clouds and mist, a group of towering white palaces were in continuous sequence. These were the residences of the Dream Ancestors.

Among the clouds and mist, a long table was occupied by nine figures; above eight of them was a large silvery-white snake that was coiled up into a pan-shaped position. The snake’s body was stretched outward into the distance, and amidst all the clouds and mist, it was hovering between being visible and remaining hidden. It was, nonetheless, a looming and massive figure. The other eight figures were also comprised of an array of forms and looks. Obviously, these were all noble beings of the demon clan.

“Teacher.” Sky Flower Knight appeared out of nowhere—a body cloaked with snow-white hair. He bowed with unmatched reverence.

The head of the silvery white snaked looked over. “You said you discovered Luo Feng and even mentioned that he was a universe master?”

“Yes.” Sky Flower Knight replied.

At that point in time, most of the other eight universe masters seated around the table started voicing their thoughts loudly.

“Liar!”

“That human Luo Feng cannot possibly have become a universe master so quickly.”

“Impossible!”

Sky Flower Knight continued. “This is the truth. I have seen and tested him myself. If not for my flying-palace type true treasure, ‘White Needle,’ which I earlier exchanged for with the race, I’m afraid I would have been annihilated by him.”

“Impossible.”

“To kill you, he must definitely have the power of a universe master. How long has he been cultivating himself? It seems impossible.”

The universe masters were still unwilling to believe what they had just heard. Only Dream Demon Ancestor remained silent as he observed their reactions.

Sky Flower Knight immediately said, “Words alone are useless. I shall let you all see the situation at that time. Then you all will clearly believe my words.”

With that, Sky Flower Knight looked toward the sky and recalled everything that he had undergone. The scenes reenacted in his memory and were replayed as a simulation of the actual event from the beginning to end. From the start of his fight against Zha Wei Horde Leader and Thousand Shadow Knight…

Silence.

All the universe masters watched with undivided attention. Billions of years of common knowledge told them that it was impossible to become a universe master in such a short cultivation period. Otherwise, one would be impossibly powerful.

The simulation ended. All the universe masters remained silent for a moment. They all could tell the truth from the blows exchanged between Luo Feng and Sky Flower Knight. For the first strike, the difference between the power of the two was not obvious. However, when Luo Feng served up his second attack, he brought forth such an immediate upsurge of power so strong that it caused Sky Flower Knight to lose 10 percent of his godly body right away. The only missing detail that they could not see from the simulated scenes was how the incredible yet mysterious strike was dealt. Sky Flower Knight did not know how Luo Feng had done it, so naturally, he was unable to replicate the exact nature of the move.

One strike that could cause a split straightaway! Just by posture alone, it was impossible to create a 100 percent simulation. That would be totally pointless. The true essence lay with the beast god path—the path that could stir up and actuate countless law engravings! This was a scene from memory that could not be simulated.

“Luckily, I hid in my flying-palace,” Sky Flower Knight said solemnly. “If not, I would have been annihilated.”

“Not necessarily,” Dream Demon Ancestor said, finally speaking up. “Luo Feng may not necessarily be a universe master. When he was only an undying, he fought and killed Bark Mirror Emperor; when he was a universe knight, his godly body must already have been stronger than yours. With such a strong godly body, he must have chanced upon a unique opportunity or even been bestowed with a talent technique! Or he could have obtained a talent technique that was comparable to an ultimate technique of a universe master.”

The other universe masters nodded.

“Have you ever seen him controlling a part of time and space?” Dream Demon Ancestor asked.

“No.” Sky Flower Knight shook his head.

“Just one stance of a powerful technique,” said Dream Demon Ancestor. “That may be a talent technique. Unless he is able to display two techniques, then one of them must be his own creation.” Dream Demon Ancestor shook his head. “Furthermore, you are still not powerful enough to make a correct identification. Only through a battle with him would a universe master will be able to clearly judge whether or not he is a universe master. Are you tracking him now?”

“Yes.” Sky Flower Knight immediately added, “He will not be able to escape. I am tracking him down, for sure.”

The silvery-white snake went on to say, “I will contact the automaton race and bug soldiers. This time around, with the joint efforts of the three races, we must eradicate Luo Feng.”
