Swallowed Star
chapter-949

Luo Feng looked at the powerful individual of the automaton race in front of him, frowning. He didn’t expect the barbarian race to be so accurate. But, on second thought, he wasn’t that surprised. The bug race, the demon race, and the automaton race were often in contact with humans, and they had detailed information on humans. Besides, only the most talented ones could get the tokens and come to the land of inheritance.

“I know you’re Blade River Emperor, even if you’re not talking,” the powerful one of the automaton race said as he stared at Luo Feng. He wanted to kill the human in front of him to get the tempting reward.

“All you can do is to guess my identity.” Luo Feng grinned.” I, however, have already figured out that you’re Ju Jue Emperor. As for my identity, you can keep guessing.”

Luo Feng took a step into the spring and vanished.

Ju Jue Emperor was a bit dazed. He looked at the empty square and whispered, “Interesting that he didn’t admit it. It seems this overly talented Blade River Emperor doesn’t have a good temper. After all, he’s so gifted.”

Everyone who was qualified to enter the land of inheritance was gifted.

Fame was what made Blade River Emperor special. Everyone in the universe knew that there was a Blade River Emperor in the human race who was able to defeat peak emperors as only a sector lord. That eclipsed lots of other talents in the universe—even those invincible emperors. It wasn’t surprising that they were jealous.

“Land of treasures?” said Ju Jue Emperor. “That place is always filled with heirs, and they won’t stay there for long. There’s going to be someone who can figure out his true identity.” Ju Jue Emperor smiled and stepped into the water curtain.

Although Luo Feng didn’t admit to his true identity, Ju Jue Emperor had evolved from intelligent life forms, which granted him extraordinary speculating capabilities that were a source of pride for him.

The teleportation was finished. Luo Feng appeared on the peak of a mountain, and he could see tens of thousands of hills of all sorts. He couldn’t even see the end of them. There were lakes of different sizes among the mountains, the largest ones being over a million square kilometers. The lakes were like emerald jades; some were light while others were dark.

Luo Feng looked up. There were moving auroras up on the sky. Apparently, the land of treasures was within the five-color aurora lake.

That’s right, Luo Feng thought. The land of treasures was flooded with valuables. The Ancestral God School needs to place it in a secure place, or it will be robbed by some supreme beings outside.

Sou!

Luo Feng flew up and traveled across the mountains through the air. He could see creatures of all races, including many special creatures. Some of the gigantic creatures of the demon race and plant race shrunk their bodies.

Interesting, Luo Feng thought. It’s like an exhibition of all the creatures. Although I saw lots of races in the outer-domain battlefield, it was nothing compared to this one.

This was the first time Luo Feng had seen so many races and clans he had never encountered before, which made him excited. After a while, he got used to it.

Luo Feng dove and landed on a mountain. He found a rock, sat on it, and wondered, “Where are the treasures?”

“Brother Human!” he heard a voice call out.

Luo Feng turned around and saw someone flying toward him. He was transparent with a handsome face and covered in green armor.

Luo Feng smiled and said, “Brother Dark Mist clan.” The Dark Mist clan belonged to Hong Alliance.

“I’m Thousand Rain,” the handsome one from the Dark Mist clan said with a smile.

“I’m Hua,” Luo Feng said.

“I’ve never seen you before. Did you just arrive?” Thousand Rain asked.

“Indeed. This is my first time in the land of treasures.” Luo Feng looked around and sighed. “I heard there are quite a few treasures left by the seniors of Ancestral God School. But all I can see is the beautiful view instead of the treasures.”

“You didn’t find any treasures?” Thousand Rain burst into laughter.

“What’s the deal?” Luo Feng looked at him. “Why is that funny?”

“There are treasures everywhere.” Thousand Rain pointed around. “Treasures are hidden in every mountain and every lake.”

“Everywhere?” Luo Feng was dazed.

There were tens of thousands of mountains and lakes. How many treasures were there?

“There are a plethora of treasures. See? Those are the tallest 108 mountains.” Thousand Rain pointed to the towering mountains afar, which were significantly taller than others. “Every heir knows that the most precious 108 valuables of the Ancestral God School are hidden there, and 42 of them have been taken away by some of the luckiest guys in the universe, the latest being 1.2 million eras ago. The universe knight of the demon race who got lucky obtained an invaluable treasure.”

“An invaluable treasure?” Luo Feng was thrilled.

“Of course,” Thousand Rain continued. “This is the land of treasures of the Ancestral God School. Each of the top 108 valuables is at least an invaluable treasure. There are many other rare valuables, too, some of them being really helpful for those following the path of beast gods. They’re just almost impossible to get.”

Luo Feng looked to the mountains.

“Nobody tried to cut into the mountains?” Luo Feng said jokingly.

“Who has the guts to do that?” Thousand River said. “For one thing, all the mountains are protected by the force of the five-color aurora lake, and emperors like us can’t damage them at all. Also, for universe knights who are able to do that, they dare not. Vandalizing the land of treasures is a blasphemy to all the seniors of the Ancestral God School, for which anyone would be killed instantly by the five-color aurora lake.”

Luo Feng nodded.

“Don’t even think about the valuables there,” Thousand Rain smiled and said. “The more precious the valuables are, the more difficult it is to get them. If we know the requirements, we might be able to strive for it. However, we don’t even know what conditions those supreme ones have for opening the treasures. That’s why only luck can help. If you can find one that suits you, the weakest one here is more precious than an ordinary treasure.”

Luo Feng nodded, thinking about the creatures who had placed the valuables.

******

There were a great many emperors in the land of treasures, but there were also lots of universe knights. After all, many heirs were universe knights, and many of the sub-members of the Ancestral God School were universe knights. The ratio between emperors and universe knights was 1000 to one, and the emperors avoided the knights.

Hong!

A towering figure dove into a mountain.

“Humans?” the creatures said as it glimpsed Luo Feng and Thousand Rain. “Humans are the most annoying.”

The figure detested them. He dove toward Luo Feng and Thousand Rain, who attempted to dodge him. However, the figure sped up and hit Luo Feng directly.

Hong!

A terrific, godly power assaulted Luo Feng and Thousand Rain, and they bounced away.

Pu!

Blood trailed from their mouths.

“Bastard!” Thousand Rain gnashed the teeth in anger.

Luo Feng’s face darkened. Thousand Rain grabbed him and spoke to him mentally, saying, Don’t go. He is a universe knight.

Luo Feng was furious. He had never come across anyone so aggressive and reckless. We’re inside the five-color aurora lake. What can he do? Kill us?

He didn’t kill us, Thousand Rain replied. These universe knights have lived here for eras, and they know the rules. See? The mountain remains intact, and our bodies are not broken. He was just trying to humiliate you. What can you do about it?

But Luo Feng was charging the knight before Thousand Rain could finish.

On top of the mountain, the creature glanced at the two of them and sneered. However, he was surprised to see the human coming toward him.

“What is he doing? He’s only an emperor.” The creature was irritated and planned to swat Luo Feng away.

Suddenly, he noticed something that dazed him. Luo Feng was holding a flame god crystal. The crystal posed him no threat, but the explosion from it could kill the human. If the human died, he would die along with him.

“Knight.” Luo Feng landed on the mountain holding the flame god crystal and looked at the universe knight of the barbarian race. “Can bullying emperors really give you a sense of accomplishment?”
