Chapter 1420: Panic-Stricken

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

On the third day after the Sector Beast fled and disappeared, Luo Feng, Nine-Headed Devil Master, and Blood Orchid Ancestor met in the chaos space in Universe Ocean. As for the other true gods, they all went back to their miniature universes.

“Devil Master, Blood Orchid,” Luo Feng said, standing in space. Nine Remoteness True Master stood beside him, while Fire Dome True God and Hong were standing behind him.

“What happened?” said Nine Remoteness True Master anxiously. “Nine-Headed Remoteness Master, you said that you sealed the space, and all of you eight true gods were encircling him. Under sealed space, even teleportation is strictly prohibited. How did that Sector Beast get away so quickly without any problem?”

Luo Feng also looked at Nine-Headed Devil Master, confused. When they had been talking with Nine-Headed Devil Master through the communications token, Nine-Headed Devil Master had said that it was difficult to talk about it through the communications token. He needed to talk with them face-to-face.

“No need to rush.” All nine faces on Nine-Headed Devil Master looked solemn. “Ever since that fight against the Sector Beast, I’ve been thinking about the fight, and I’ve talked with Blood Orchid. I’ve discovered something strange. I’ll tell you one by one now.”

Beside him, Blood Orchid Ancestor nodded in agreement.

Luo Feng, Nine Remoteness Master, Fire Dome True God, and Hong were all listening.

“Normally, Sector Beasts are not powerful,” said Nine-Headed Devil Master. “The power of that Sector Beast is slightly stronger than Blood Orchid and slightly weaker than me. However… that Sector Beast has some special skills. Firstly, it’s able to swallow the origin of a miniature universe. Based on our estimation, it would take it around eight days to completely swallow the origin of a miniature universe! Of course, when engaged in a fight, a Sector Beast wouldn’t be able to swallow the origin anymore. This swallowing technique is one of the special skills Sector Beasts have. Secondly, those circuitous curves it emits… In addition to swallowing the origin of a miniature universe, they can also swallow true gods!”

Hua…!

His godly power immediately simulated the previous fighting scene in space. The black mist cocoon completely enveloped Firefly True Master, and no matter how Firefly True Master struggled, he couldn’t break it to get away.

“Look,” said Nine-Headed Devil Master. “Inside that black mist cocoon, the godly power of Firefly True Master was constantly being devoured… It didn’t matter how he tried to resist. The burning godly power of Firefly True Master was still neutralized by the power contained in that black mist cocoon. Other true gods also tried to help, but they couldn’t break the black mist cocoon at all. In the end, Blood Orchid helped…”

Blood Orchid Ancestor nodded. “That’s right. Other true gods and I gave up on weapon-based attacks and used our godly power to sweep across the cocoon. We used our godly power to consume it. That’s how we broke the cocoon. Clearly, if there were only one or two true gods present, if one was trapped by that Sector Beast, they wouldn’t stand a chance of getting back into a palace true treasure. The black mist cocoon can change its size however it wants and would just keep trapping the true gods. That Sector Beast wouldn’t give you a chance.”

Luo Feng, Nine Remoteness True Master, Hong, and Fire Dome all looked sullen. If one true god encountered a Sector Beast, he wouldn’t stand a chance of surviving!

“In my opinion,” said Nine-Headed Devil Master, “weapons can still work on that black mist cocoon, but the weapons we used are not strong enough. Otherwise, that Sector Beast would’ve used that technique to trap me. I posed the biggest threat. Instead, it trapped Firefly True Master, who is weaker.”

“Yes.”

“That’s right.”

Luo Feng and the others all nodded.

“However, we still have to take that technique of Sector Beasts, black mist cocoon, seriously.” Nine-Headed Devil Master then turned toward space, and the displayed scenes changed. The traces of black light all became black pillars and rushed toward Firefly True Master, consuming the body of Firefly True Master bit by bit. “After the black mist cocoon was broken, they quickly turned into black pillars and started to erode the body of Firefly True Master! When he was trying to get back to the spaceship and we were trying to slow down the Sector Beast, the Sector Beast used soul attacks to affect us while those black pillars were eroding Firefly True Master. However, when Firefly True Master had almost reached the spaceship, the black pillar suddenly became the black mist cocoon and immediately enveloped Firefly True Master. Soon after that, Firefly True Master was dead.” Nine-Headed Devil Master stepped aside, looking solemn. “Apparently, the black light pillar can turn into a black mist cocoon at any time! Even if Firefly True Master had carried his spaceship with him, the black light would’ve immediately turned into a black mist cocoon.”

Luo Feng, Nine Remoteness and the others all went silent. It was indeed scary. From cocoon to light pillars to cocoon again—Sector Beasts could keep this cycle up forever, and nobody could even run away.

“This is their scariest move! Endless binding and erosion!” said Nine-Headed Devil Master solemnly. “But thirdly, it has incredible soul attack skills. Once they are performed, under such soul attacks, those with true-god level willpower will be in such agony that they won’t be able to attack anymore. Only those at the level of a true god of void space could stay conscious, but their power would still be reduced. Only those at limit void space level could withstand it easily. And now we need to talk about its escape skills.” Nine-Headed Devil Master pointed at the space beside him. “Just watch for yourselves.”

A scene appeared in the space beside them. The giant Sector Beast Morosa howled, after which, an image with a black edge and golden surface showed up all over its body. 99 engravings showed up, and after a sound—hong—the body of Sector Beast Morosa suddenly split into 99 streaks of light that swiftly flew in different directions.

The speed immediately surged. 1,000 times faster than light speed, 10,000 times faster than light speed.

“In that time…” Nine-Headed Devil Master sighed. “None of us eight true gods dared to completely separate because we feared that it would attack us one by one, which is why we were divided into two teams. One was myself, the others were other seven, led by Blood Orchid. We chased two of the lights. We kept chasing them, but they both suddenly disappeared after a short while. The Sector Beast disappeared just like that.”

Both Nine-Headed Devil Master and Blood Orchid shook their heads, looking hopeless. Luo Feng appeared at a loss. A body separated into 99 parts? And two of them vanished?

“The body was disintegrated.” Luo Feng frowned. “Once they escape, each part of the body can be the main body. The other 98 parts can then dissipate and gather back together with that main part, becoming the Sector Beast.”

“We think likewise. How are we supposed to kill it if it can use that move?” Nine-Headed Devil Master frowned.

Nine Remoteness Master also shook his head. “Too difficult.”

Everyone was anxious.

Hong, who had been silent, suddenly said, “It’s not that easy, everyone… It has such incredible escape skills, but why did it fly away right after killing Firefly True Master? Nine-Headed Devil Master could only suppress it. It could have killed however it pleased. Why didn’t it keep fighting?”

“That’s right.” Nine-Headed Devil Master nodded. “We thought about it after that, and we were also confused by this. Everything seemed to be under its control. It could’ve certainly killed another true god with its skill black mist cocoon. However, it immediately left after killing Firefly True Master.”

Blood Orchid Ancestor added, “I’ve talked with Devil Master also, and we thought that the skills the Sector Beast performed weren’t all the skills it has.”

Luo Feng, Hong, Fire Dome, and Nine Remoteness all looked dazed.

Nine-Headed Devil Master was also worried. “It doesn’t have powerful fighting skills, but it has all sorts of other special skills. Black mist cocoon, black light, soul attacks, and escape—and these are just the skills it has demonstrated. It was pushed to despair by us, so it might still have some techniques it hasn’t used.”

Luo Feng and the others all nodded. It was a habit common among great beings; they would intentionally hide their trump cards unless it was a crucial moment.

Sector Beasts were terrifying creatures bred in Universe Ocean that represented destruction. They could tell that the Sector Beast had only treated this event as a trial, and it hadn’t really been driven to despair. It was likely that it still had some special techniques.

“No wonder the original mind attached great importance to it,” said Luo Feng. “One Sector Beast is already so difficult to deal with, and this is only one of them! There are many more in the nest of the Sector Beasts…”

Everyone was heavy-hearted.

“The problem is, we don’t know what other skills it has,” said Nine-Headed Devil Master worriedly.

******

In the space of Universe Ocean, the golden Sector Beast Morosa lay within the chaos air. It breathed it in, looking more relaxed than ever.

Hua! Hua! Hua!

Black light flowed across its body.

Wa!

“I had such a great meal. I haven’t even finished the origin of a small universe yet, but I felt that I’ve already had a lot. It feels much better than eating ten true gods.” Sector Beast Morosa was satisfied. “Every time after I swallow a miniature universe, my power will be improved, so if I keep swallowing those origins, I should become stronger than Bei Di. And after that, I’ll swallow all the other Sector Beasts. Then I can become the one true king of Sector Beasts!”

Sector Beast Morosa was expectant. Currently, it was trying to convert those energies into its own at its leisure.

******

The entire Universe Ocean was panic-stricken.

A Sector Beast had suddenly appeared, and it had killed Firefly True Master while surrounded by nine true gods led by Nine-Headed Devil Master. Then it had run away as if nothing had happened. Besides, it had been able to complete swallowing the origin of a miniature universe in only eight days, which frightened all the powers in Universe Ocean. After all, it would usually take Luo Feng and the other seven great overlords a long time to get to a miniature universe.

Now that the Sector Beast had disappeared, nobody knew when it would show up again, and no one could say for sure that he wouldn’t be the next Firefly True Master.

“We’ll separate into eight teams, and once that Sector Beast shows up, at least one of us can arrive in time. Milky Way has two bodies, so he’ll be responsible for two areas.”

“Many true gods from the original universe will also come out.”

“We should remain well-prepared all the time.”

“Once that Sector Beast shows up, we’ll get there and kill it all at once.”
