Swallowed Star

Chapter 1328: Power and Prestige

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

Within the miniature universe that was starting to degenerate and collapse, the floating continent was cracking. Cracks appeared in space, creating a scene depicting the imminent end of the universe, but it was, in fact, only the initial stage of the collapse. All living souls that had originally been in this miniature universe had been quietly annihilated. Only numerous floating godly bodies could be seen.

“All my fellow humans. All my fellow humans, come. All of you should come here.”

A black pyramid could be seen flying at high speed. The dark hole of the deep abyss at its base had opened, and it was swallowing without restraint, sucking in treasures it found along the way and even some universe masters and the godly bodies of universe knights. Because on these godly bodies, there might be treasures like godly armor and the like.

Scour and collect! Scour and collect as wildly as possible! No matter how composed Darkness Master was, he was still incomparably exhilarated.

“Thunderstorm Star race only had one universe supreme master. In terms of treasures and wealth in its treasure vault, it is at most comparable to us humans. Should there come a day when we are able to exterminate a top power like the Divine Eye Clan… the wealth we gain will truly be something impressive.”

The humans were, indeed, very poor. Before Luo Feng had met with all his great opportunities, Huge Axe Creator’s supreme true treasure was the only one the human race had. Likewise, Thunderstorm Star race also had only one supreme true treasure. Yet, with the passing of time, the pinnacle true treasures that Thunderstorm Star race had in their possession started to outnumber that of humans.

“By causing our Huge Axe to be annihilated, you have brought yourselves to this sorry end,” said Darkness Master.

At times, the black pyramid would be advancing at high speed. Other times, it would teleport. Then finally, it managed to scour and collect everything it could find within the entire miniature universe. Thereafter, Darkness Master, who was feeling incredibly satisfied, left. He left behind a “clean” yet utterly defeated miniature universe.

******

Not too long later, a stream of golden, flowing light flashed by and dashed into this utterly defeated miniature universe.

“Nothing! Nothing! Everything is gone… who was it? Reaching here before us to scour the entire miniature universe so thoroughly that not a single valuable is left.” A great being from another race, whose body was radiating golden light rays, was hovering within the miniature universe. He felt utterly helpless as he lamented, “I rushed here as fast as I could. Scouring and collecting things would take some time. Could it be… the moment that old fellow, Great Thunder died, his miniature universe was scoured, and everything was taken? Alas… It looks like this was likely done by the humans.”

Thereafter, he helplessly transformed into a streak of light, teleported a few times, and charged directly out of the miniature universe. At that moment, two more streaks of flowing light appeared outside.

“Rampaging Devil God, you actually beat everyone to it!”

“Rampaging Devil God, you cannot be taking all the treasures and wealth in the treasury vault for yourself.”

The two streaks of flowing light came to a halt. Both were pinnacle palace true treasures, and they were speaking up at the same time.

Rampaging Devil God, who was about to leave, let out a howling cry. “I just arrived not too long ago, too. Everything in the treasure vault of the Thunderstorm Star race has already been taken away. I have taken nothing at all.”

“Rampaging Devil God, you are a lone traveler. Is there any need for you to take everything for yourself?”

“Rampaging Devil God, don’t lie. How long ago has it been since Great Thunder Star Master was annihilated? Scouring the entire miniature universe to collect the valuables would require a long time, yet you say you have found and taken nothing at all? Who would believe that?”

Rampaging Devil God flew into a rage immediately. The feeling of being so grievously wronged was unpleasant.

“You two are fools! I said I have taken nothing. That means I have taken nothing! Why should I even lie about it? I have no time to continue this pointless talk with you. I’m leaving!”

Rampaging Devil God howled again. Then, in a flash, he vanished. This Rampaging Devil God had a strange temper. He liked to swallow rocks and metals. A huge amount of the essence of rocks and metals had condensed onto his outer-shell, forming a golden covering. Furthermore, he also had a supreme true treasure, “Bloody Sea Devil Armor,” which, by right, should be radiating an endless bloody light. Yet Rampaging Devil God had instead made Bloody Sea Devil Armor become golden in color. Generally, all places he passed by would be enveloped by a golden hue. The effect was remarkably dazzling.

“That savage fellow, Rampaging, would not stoop so low as to lie. Could it be that he truly did not take anything?”

“Maybe it is the humans! Luo Feng lured Great Thunder Star Master into a battle. Maybe he had devised a plot that succeeded in the end, annihilating Great Thunder Star Master… Then the human race could scour the miniature universe thoroughly and collect everything they found. This would be a sizable amount.”

With that, they too left.

Thereafter, great beings of several groups arrived in succession, but what was left for them was only a desolated miniature universe.

******

On the peak of Thunder Island in the virtual universe, a group of universe masters of the human race had gathered. As for Luo Feng, he had previously focused all his energy on the fight, so he had not divided his attention into entering the virtual universe.

“We are not sure if Luo Feng succeeded or not.”

“Killing a universe supreme master required some luck. No one can say for sure whether success is possible.”

Primal Chaos City Leader, Long Yan Master, Void Gold Master, Deserted Mirror Master, and the others were all seated on their thrones, feeling nervous and perturbed as they waited.

A short moment later, a message appeared before Primal Chaos City Leader. With a light tap, he read the mail and soon revealed a look of surprise and joy.

“Great Thunder Star Master…” Primal Chaos City Leader looked around at the numerous universe masters who were all waiting in anticipation. “Is dead!”

“Hahaha…!”

“What madness…”

“Simply unbelievable!”

The human universe masters were going crazy with joy. A universe master killing a universe supreme master was a miracle! It was a great tragedy, of course, for Great Thunder Star Master, who had been annihilated—as well as for his Thunderstorm Star race. But Luo Feng and his human race could not have been more excited and exhilarated.

“Darkness Master is now in Great Thunder Star Master’s miniature universe collecting all the items that are now without masters,” Primal Chaos City Leader said in a leisurely tone. “This is great for us since our race is currently lacking these.”

*****

Great Thunder Star Master’s annihilation had far-reaching effects!

A universe supreme master had been annihilated just like that? Throughout the entire Universe Ocean, it was rare for universe masters from the three reincarnation eras and two holy lands to be annihilated. Even if they were, normally, it would happen within the core regions of the three most dangerous lands or because of environmental reasons, but the cases of annihilation by other great beings were so few that they could be counted on two hands.

“We must clarify!”

“Clarify the cause of Great Thunder Star Master’s death!”

“If we do not know his cause of death, maybe we will be the next in line.”

At that point in time, various groups of powers and even supreme masters who traveled alone were in a frenzy. They were all heading toward Whirling Swamp Ocean to investigate.

In the next seven days following the battle between Luo Feng and Great Thunder Star Master, there had been two universe supreme masters arriving successively to conduct some thorough investigation. In the half a year following the battle, the number had increased to 22 universe supreme masters. Based on the traces of battle left behind, they tried to deduce how Luo Feng had annihilated Great Thunder Star Master. Without clarification, how could they have peace of mind?

“Judging from the position, this battle must have happened around the area by the core whirlpool. Great Thunder Star Master must have worn his supreme true treasure godly armor as self-protection and had intended to charge and kill via a head-on confrontation. Even for a universe supreme master, this might not be possible. So we can almost be sure that… it was the core whirlpool that brought about the annihilation of Great Thunder Star Master. But the question is, why did he not dodge? This is the key point. We can only say that Luo Feng must have staged a ploy to prevent Great Thunder Star Master from leaving the core whirlpool.”

“Milky Way Horde Leader Luo Feng must have a secret ultimate technique.”

“He must have a technique that he is exceptionally skilled at. For instance, there are abilities to restrain or limit. And this ability of his is likely from the inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River. He must have gained a ‘restraining type’ unique treasure. The chances are very high.”

******

Time passed.

The death of a universe supreme master would always seize the attention of various groups of top powers and keep them on their toes!

They had guessed that Luo Feng knew a “limiting type” method, but if the universe supreme master he was pitted against had a restraining type means, too, then that universe supreme master would have the ability to come and go as he pleased. How could he be annihilated?

This limiting type means that Luo Feng used—no one knew what it was. Even more than before, these various groups started to exercise more vigilance whenever Luo Feng was involved. If a being was able to kill a universe supreme master, regardless of how he achieved it, he definitely could not be treated lightly. They had to be vigilant!

“Purple Moon Holy Land is in trouble.”

“When fighting the humans, Purple Moon Holy Land enlisted the help of other groups of powers within the primal universe to suppress the development of the humans. They even issued a killing order on all humans before. Now, Luo Feng is merely a universe master and yet is able to make use of some secret special means to annihilate a universe supreme master. When he becomes a universe supreme master, I’m afraid he is going to be more intimidating than Teacher Origin. If this goes on, it seems like Purple Moon Holy Land is going to suffer quite a loss!”

“Purple Moon Holy Land is already an eternal existence to begin with. There is no need for it to suppress the humans. Now, it has incurred the wrath of a great enemy.”

“You all think too highly of the humans! Great enemy? Purple Moon Holy Land is, after all, a holy land universe. Even if it is temporarily at a disadvantage, they are an eternal existence. After a few reincarnation eras, they will still be as strong and powerful as ever. Besides, to this day, no one can say for sure whether or not the human race can live past three reincarnation eras.”

******

The aftermath of Great Thunder Star Master’s annihilation lingered on, and Luo Feng, whom the various groups of top powers in the entire Universe Ocean had placed so much focus on, suddenly disappeared!

For over 300 years, not a single great being could find a trace of Luo Feng. He had completely removed himself from the scene. Even so, he remained recognized as one of the most terrifying existences, and the memories of him were etched deeply in the minds of great beings from various groups of top powers in Universe Ocean.

Universe masters would have to escape and hide, if possible. If not, it would be better to surrender obediently and banish all thoughts of resistance.

As for universe supreme masters, they still would need to practice some vigilance. It was best to steer clear of dangerous environments, lest an accidental lack of vigilance cause one to lose everything and become “Great Thunder Star Master—the Second.”

Pa!

Within Star Tower, a drop of blood hovered in a fixed spot in one of the individual spaces.

“Great Thunder Star Master carried with him quite a fair amount of treasures and precious materials,” said Luo Feng. “The top-notch materials are almost used up, and there are two pinnacle true treasures swallowed, too. But there is just enough to help Shi Wu Wings produce one more drop of godly blood.”

Luo Feng turned to look to his side at the wings on Golden Horned Beast. At the moment, only one more patch of the bloodstain left from its previous injury remained.

Luo Feng turned to look at the outside world through Star Tower. From where he was in the vast Universe Ocean, he could already faintly see the immeasurably huge primal universe.

“Primal Universe, I am back.” Luo Feng revealed a trace of a smile.

He changed the form of Star Tower and secretly made his way out until he had exited Universe Boat! For this long period of time, he had spent his time on cultivation, immersing himself in the study of the “godly power genes.” At times, he made use of his talent technique of the endless Remote Ocean within the primal universe to “create” and conduct experiments.

Over 300 years… This length of time was, in fact, more than 300 eras. The number of experiments he had performed equaled more than 80,000. There may have been the occasional rewarding outcome, but the course of studying had led Luo Feng to believe that such a path was extremely difficult.

“I will head back first to rejuvenate my godly body. Then I will go send some congratulatory gifts to Teacher.”

A glint of eagerness flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes. Teacher Primal Chaos City Leader had always bestowed great kindness upon him. This supreme true treasure armor Luo Feng had seized from Great Thunder Star Master was the first gesture of gratitude he wanted to present to Teacher after he had gained power and prestige. After all, even Darkness Master and Peng Gong Master had previously received supreme true treasures from him.
