Swallowed Star
chapter-941

The Primal Chaos City Leader smiled and said, “Then I’ll wait and see.”

Thousand-treasure river was a top-tier invaluable treasure, and even most of the masters of the universe couldn’t obtain treasures like this. The Primal Chaos City Leader was just saying this to encourage Luo Feng instead of actually expecting him to get a top-tier invaluable treasure.

Perhaps you don’t know, teacher, but I’ve already had two invaluable treasures, thought Luo Feng, one of which being Force Armor, and it’s thousand-treasure river’s equal. As for Star Tower, it’s one of the most powerful invaluable treasures in the entire universe.

The Primal Chaos City Leader shrunk to the size of Luo Feng from a planet-sized giant.

“Luo Feng, there’s something I need to ask you,” the Primal Chaos City Leader said. “But the choice is yours.”

“Please, teacher,” Luo Feng answered.

Beside the river and the palaces, they started to talk.

“True Yan Emperor is also your teacher, and that’s why I need to tell you more about him,” the Primal Chaos City Leader said gradually and calmly. “As a matter of fact, True Yan Emperor’s also practicing on the path of beast god.”

“What?” Luo Feng was dazed.

“There are a few powerful ones on that path, but they all kept it as a secret,” the Primal Chaos City Leader explained. “The most talented ones of your generation, like you and Seven Blade Emperor, are all following the path of beast god. However, beast gods belong to Ancestral God School, whose existence is a top secret in the universe, and thus people who train themselves following the path of beast all keep in as a secret, and so do you.”

Luo Feng nodded. Only a small number of people knew that Luo Feng was following the path of beast god.

“I told you this because your teacher True Yan Emperor is following the branch of soil and space,” The Primal Chaos City Leader said.

“Soil and space!” Luo Feng said with shock. The beast god inheritance token he just obtained was of soil and space!

“You’re a smart person, and you must have guessed what I mean,” the Primal Chaos City Leader looked at the boundless thousand-treasure river and said. “Seven Blade Emperor got a token from our race before. Given your potential, you’ll also get one when you officially become an undying.”

“On the contrary,” he continued, “your teacher True Yan Emperor is not as talented as you. He only became an invincible emperor by training for an extraordinarily long time and getting instructions from other powerful ones within our race. It’s impossible for him to get a token from the race. He filed an application before, but the race has never granted him any approval, and thus, he can only earn the token himself. However, the tokens are some of the scarcest resources in the universe, and one can only find them by luck, with which a sector lord can obtain one by accident. But without luck, a universe knight can’t find one even if he were to comb every inch of the universe.”

The Primal Chaos City Leader looked at Luo Feng. “The resources in our race belong to all the humans. Although there are countless treasures, they must be granted to the most talented, and it must be subject to all the seniors’ discretion. But now, there’s a way to help your teacher.”

“I bet you already understand what I mean,” the Primal Chaos City Leader continued. “You can give the token to your teacher directly. Your teacher is going to the land of inheritance now, and it’s a huge opportunity for him, as he might become a universe knight. He might also fail since he’s far less talented than you or Seven Blade Emperor. You two are almost his rivals by such a short time of training.”

“I’m willing to give it to my teacher,” Luo Feng answered without any hesitation.

He had to pay True Yan Emperor back.

I’ll get the token anyway when I become an undying, he thought. All I need to do is wait. Once my third body comes into being, I’ll become an undying. However, my teacher has already waited for an eternity. A small time of waiting in exchange for a huge opportunity for my teacher is totally worth it.

“You’ve made up your mind already? No regrets?” The Primal Chaos City Leader looked to Luo Feng.

“No, I won’t regret it,” Luo Feng said, nodding sternly.

“Great.” The Primal Chaos City Leader nodded. “Now, you’ll give the token to your teacher. However, you don’t necessarily have to wait to become an undying to go to the land of inheritance. I’ll file an application for you. Normally, you’ll be granted one after entering the undying level, but I believe Master of Sky Wolf will make the news of Blade River Emperor public.”

“Master of Sky Wolf?” Luo Feng was dazed.

“Yes,” said the Primal Chaos City Leader. “Blade River Emperor is a sector lord. He will definitely let everyone know and will polish the story. Once it’s made known, lots of the peak races will have their eyes on you and try to assassinate you.” The Primal Chaos City Leader sighed. “The human race will know, too.”

“Your identity as Blade River Emperor is only known to few, but it will change soon,” he continued. “I’ll use it as an excuse to file an application for the inheritance token for you. Since you’re already as powerful as Seven Blade Emperor, you’re already qualified to enter the land of inheritance.” The Primal Chaos City Leader smiled. “Although that’s a place of danger, it only comes from the competition within our race, as nobody from the other races will dare to assassinate you in the sacred land of Ancestral God School.

“That’s why I think the token will be granted. However, I can’t be 100 percent sure. After all, they’re the resources of the entire human race, and all I’m in charge of is the virtual universe company. The seniors might veto it, since only the undying were able to enter it before. I’ll say you’re more likely to succeed than to fail.”

“Thank you, teacher,” Luo Feng said. He truly appreciated the help.

There would still be grudges between siblings. Hence, normally, there were hidden competitions between the five powers of the human race. It would be conceivably difficult, as the resources didn’t only belong to the Primal Chaos City Leader.

“The more powerful and famous you are, the easier it is for me to apply for the resources,” the Primal Chaos City Leader said with a smile. He was content looking at Luo Feng. Although he already knew Luo Feng’s personality by experience, he was joyful when he saw Luo Feng’s willingness to give the token to True Yan Emperor without any doubts

Apparently, Luo Feng knew how to show gratitude.

******

Blade River Emperor was only a sector lord.

The news was like a thunder and shocked all the powerful creatures. It spread like wildfire, and lots of the powerful ones of the human race knew about it within the day. People everywhere in the Hong Alliance City were talking about it.

“Blade River Emperor is a sector lord!”

“He was able to kill a peak emperor. And now, people are saying he’s only a sector lord? How is it possible for a sector lord to be so mighty? It’s outrageous!”

“It must be fake!”

“It’s real. Both the demon race and the automation race have already found out about it, and they’ve already offered bounties for killing this Blade River Emperor.”

“If he is indeed a sector lord, why were so many powerful ones unable to distinguish him? The auras between a sector lord and an undying are totally different.”

“They said Blade River Emperor obtained an invaluable treasure, which conceals his true identity.”

“Invaluable treasure?”

“Blade River Emperor has an invaluable treasure? That can even set universe knights crazy.”

******

It was madness. The news that Blade River Emperor is a sector lord and that Blade River Emperor had an invaluable treasure made a plethora of powerful ones jealous. One could tell how tempting an invaluable treasure was by the sound and fury sealing star resulted in.

“If Blade River Emperor is a sector lord, who is he exactly? He’s even more unimaginable than the legendary Ke Di.”

“Perhaps it’s Luo Feng, as he’s the most powerful sector lord of the human race and has already passed the sector-lord-level Sky Mountain.”

“I don’t think it’s Luo Feng. Instead, it might be a super talent who has been undercover all the time. And this talent is even stronger than both Ke Di and Luo Feng, and that’s why they’ve kept it as a secret and given him an invaluable treasure to conceal it.”

“Where did all the talents come from? Luo Feng is already the genius of our time.”

“Maybe this Blade River Emperor is one of the most talented of the human race and is even mightier than Ke Di and Luo Feng.”

“I still think it’s Luo Feng. It’s impossible for such a genius to stay anonymous.”

Within the boundless universe and hundreds of millions of races, most of the creatures had heard the news of Blade River Emperor. They also knew that Blade River Emperor belonged to the human race, but they couldn’t be sure who he really was. Lots of people thought it was Luo Feng because, based on all they knew, only Luo Feng had such potential.

“Dad, are you the Blade River Emperor?”

“Some of the super-families within our Ganwu universe also talk about this Blade River Emperor during businesses. I’ve heard of some of the news and guessed it was you.”

In the nine-star bay of Black Dragon Island, Luo Feng was having meals with his family.

“I also heard of it,” Xu Xin said.

“Don’t interrogate me,” Luo Feng said.

Luo Ping and Luo Hai smiled because their father would’ve denied it if it weren’t true.

“Dad, you’re awesome!” Luo Hai said, opening his eyes wide.

“Remember not to tell anyone,” Luo Feng said as he glanced at his sons.

“We know,” said Luo Ping.

“We know how serious it is,” Luo Hai answered with excitement.

Although Blade River Emperor was yet to become the most powerful one in the universe, he had already garnered widespread fame, and his name would be in history forever. Wasn’t that what they wanted? Fame?

This is only the beginning of my rise, thought Luo Feng. I’ll only become stronger since I’m on the edge now. And the demon race… you’ll lose in the end.
