Chapter 1096: Looking for Star Tower
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The virtual universe, in the space belonging to Huge Axe Creator.
Amidst the darkness, flashes of starlight could be seen from afar where a plain-looking palace was suspended in the core of the dark space. There were long stone benches in front of the palace where figures were appearing out of nowhere, one after the other.
In just a short time, many had arrived, including Huge Axe Creator, Primal Chaos City Leader, and Deserted Mirror Master, who were all unable to conceal their shock expressions.
“I believe everyone has heard,” Huge Axe Creator said, scanning his surroundings. “Star Tower has disappeared!”
“Hmm.”
“We all just heard.”
“How could Star Tower disappear? It has been standing firmly in the void space for an eternity. Even universe supreme masters are unable to take it down by force, so how can it disappear so suddenly?”
This breaking news had all the higher-ups, even the most strong-hearted ones, in shock and disbelief.
“Look.” Huge Axe Creator pointed far into space.
Hua!
A scene played before them in the faraway, dark sky. Star Tower was throwing millions of undying soldiers out of it, followed closely by the dispersion of the nine whirlpool nebulas. Then Star Tower shrunk, teleported, and vanished from its spot.
“Undoubtedly,” Primal Chaos City Leader whispered, “there must be some great being controlling Star Tower. That is how the undying fighters of various races could be thrown out of every plane of Star Tower within such a short time! This great being caused the nine whirlpool nebulas to disperse and Star Tower to shrink and teleport away.”
“But who?”
“Who wields such power?” said a universe master wearing elegant, golden armor with purple engravings between his brows. “Back then, the automaton race, the bug soldiers, the demons, and us—we all fought for this supreme true treasure that suddenly appeared. We fought and killed like crazy, yet in the end, all four pinnacle races were unable to do anything to Star Tower. Even when Huge Axe Creator entered personally, he too was unable to take Star Tower.”
“Void Gold Master is right,” someone else spoke up. “Purely based on power, who could have done it?”
There was incessant chattering all over as the universe masters of the human race voiced their opinions.
Huge Axe Creator nodded and said, “We all have reached a consensus that purely based on power, it is indeed impossible to take Star Tower! After all, in the countless years that Star Tower has been out in the battlefield, not only have the four pinnacle races tried and failed; even other great powers of the universe like the Ancestral God School, the Space Beast Alliance, the Northern Territory Alliance, and some other weaker powers have all tried discreetly, but no one has succeeded.”
All the universe masters nodded.
“Including myself,” added Huge Axe Creator. “I’m afraid all of the universe supreme masters have already tried.” He shook his head. “All have failed! With power alone, it is indeed impossible. Taking Star Tower requires an opportunity with a touch of luck! My guess is, a certain great being has gotten lucky and managed to take Star Tower in a stroke of good fortune. Many true super beings in the universe have been trying since long, long ago but have not succeeded. This time, the one who has managed to take Star Tower must be a very powerful being.”
“A weakling?”
“An undying? Universe knight?” Universe masters instantly started shouting.
“Regardless of who he is, so long as he can control Star Tower… he is no weakling.” Huge Axe Creator scanned everyone. “Hiding within Star Tower? Even I cannot achieve that.”
The other universe masters nodded with envy in their eyes. Star Tower was a supreme true treasure, indeed! Even a pinnacle race like the humans did not have a supreme true treasure to reign dominance! Every supreme true treasure had unbelievably strong power… to the extent of having strange characteristics; universe supreme masters coveted them, but universe supreme masters were very rare. There were only a few of them. However, there were still a number who did not possess any supreme true treasures. Huge Axe Creator, for one, did not own any!
“We must get to the bottom of it!” Huge Axe Creator ordered, “Make use of the resources from my Hong Alliance and conduct a thorough search for information. We must get to the bottom of the matter… Whose hands have Star Tower fallen into? If he is a weakling, then he won’t be able to hide inside Star Tower forever. We can still find the chance to take Star Tower from away him or even find out how he managed to control it.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Yes!”
All the universe masters accepted his order.
Huge Axe Creator emphasized with solemnity, “We humans lack such a supreme true treasure. We must find a way to get it.”
******
In the universe that belonged to automaton race, a voice representing the noblest being of the automaton race sounded and was transmitted to every corner.
“My children, go look into it! Find out who has taken Star Tower! Even if he has the supreme true treasure, he will not be able to hide inside Star Tower forever. If he is a weakling, we definitely have a chance to take Star Tower away from him.”
“Yes, Father God.”
“Yes, Father God.”
All universe masters of automaton race received the order.
******
Hua!
In the vast, starry sky, a giant being whose body was entirely covered with black scales made a gradual appearance. The surroundings within a radius of a few light years instantly fell into a world of endless, dark flames, and within this area, all levels of stars seemed to disintegrate into nothing and vanish from sight. This towering presence was all that existed.
“How long since I have been back in the primal universe,” said the figure. “How familiar it feels. This is my homeland. If not for Star Tower, I cannot imagine how long it would have taken for me to make it back here from Universe Ocean. Back then, I was unable to take Star Tower away! Yet there was some fellow in the primal universe who actually succeeded… I must find Star Tower and find that fellow. I must find out how he controlled Star Tower. If not for the lack of a supreme true treasure, would I have been defeated by that old Beast God from the Space Beast Alliance…?”
The figure in black scales moved slowly.
Hua.
It vanished into thin air.
******
The top nine powers in the universe were all eager to take action, as a supreme true treasure was simply too tempting! Even the few great beings who were universe supreme masters that roamed about as loners had taken action, let alone the universe masters who had clans under their leadership. There were some clans with merely one universe master. Those were the ones who greatly desired to own the Star Tower.
“If I manage to get the Star Tower, then I won’t even have to fear universe supreme masters.”
“By that time, my Tamar Race will have hopes of being a pinnacle race.”
The shocking news of the human known as Luo Feng killing a universe overlord was nothing compared to the breaking news that the supreme true treasure, Star Tower, had disappeared! It was enough to shake the foundation of a pinnacle race.
Star Tower was the most precious existence within the entire universe! With hundreds of billions of people from various clans looking for it, those who had been concerned about Luo Feng dwindled in number. Even if there were any, they were most likely the most persistent ones among the demons, automaton race, and bug soldiers, so keen on eliminating Luo Feng that they would never let their guard down.
******
Ancestral God Secret Region, Redbud Island.
The commotion that arose from the disappearance of Star Tower caused quite a stir, thought Luo Feng. The excitement has boiled over.
Luo Feng appeared at Redbud Island in the residence that belonged to him. This was the third day since he had taken Star Tower, and since then, he had been following everything that happened on the outside through the virtual universe.
All was turmoil! The Hong Alliance’s universe masters and all those undying beings who had made their way to the battlefields were engaged in heated discussion. And that was only within the Hong Alliance. There were also other powers in the universe… but through the information being disseminated within the Hong Alliance, it could be seen that everyone had gone mad over this news.
No wonder Sitting Mountain Guest Teacher strictly commanded me not to divulge the news about Star Tower, Luo Feng thought. He was appalled. If I had been exposed, and the outside world found out I could control Star Tower… Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest alone would certainly not be able to protect me. Luckily, I can protect myself now, so I can make a foothold independently in this turbulent universe.
He took a step forward, opened the doors of his mansion, and flew off in the direction of the palace in front of the public square, where the island master of Redbud Island resided.
“Look, it’s Luo Feng.”
“It’s the human, Luo Feng.”
“He is back on Redbud Island. It has been 200,000 years since he last appeared!”
“Luo Feng has power that matches that of a top-tier universe overlord, so rarely coming to Redbud Island is nothing strange at all.”
There were many cultivators from various races on Redbud Island, and this discussion started when a team of candidates spotted him while they were flying.
Luo Feng, on the other hand, was flying toward the public square. Passing through the water curtain of a fountain, he arrived at the “land of inheritance.” There were clearly a great many opportunities for inheritance.
******
A while later, Luo Feng made his exit and flew directly back to his mansion. There, Luo Feng stayed in isolation for five days before he once again made his way to the land of inheritance to accept his share.
Retreat! Inherit! Retreat! Inherit! Almost every other day, Luo Feng would enter once to accept his inheritance. This quickly aroused the attention of many cultivators on Redbud Island. There were many such discussions about this.
“After all those battles that Luo Feng welcomed with untamed abandon, he has since earned a humongous amount of opportunities for inheritance. But even if he has that many opportunities, is there a need to be so wasteful?”
“Without feeling what it’s like to undergo cultivation, accepting all those inheritances would be totally pointless.”
“What a waste.”
However, Luo Feng simply paid no heed to all the things others were saying, shaking his head to himself.
I am highly accomplished in the studies of pictures of secret engravings and can comprehend by analogy. Every time I make my way in to accept my inheritance, I can quickly comprehend a large quantity of content pertaining to the beast god path. How fast is my speed of cultivation?
Without the ability to comprehend, a beast god inheritance would mean nothing. Yet Luo Feng was able to feel and comprehend a large amount of information because he was highly accomplished in the studies of pictures of secret engravings, so every time he went for another round of inheritance, he would be able to make additional progress.
After all, in terms of level, Luo Feng had already created a technique that matched the level of an ultimate technique of a universe master. With the “heart of Beast God,” he had attained an extremely high level of comprehension, so naturally, accepting the beast god path was a piece of cake.
Once every five days, he would accept one Beast God inheritance; when he was only at his third round of inheritances, Luo Feng could already grasp full comprehension of the fourth stage of the beast god path. It was like a university student studying doing elementary school homework.
There was also “Inheriting,” a rapid method to boost the speed of comprehension. However, he was much slower in progressing at the fifth stage of the beast god path.
******
Bug soldiers, demons, and members of the automaton race were all racking their brains in search of a solution.
“Hurry! Report to the race! Luo Feng is here on Redbud Island!”
“That annoying Luo Feng… The guts he has to come here to Redbud Island.”
“If you want to kill Luo Feng, you would have to get a universe master involved. However, the moment any of our universe masters showed up at Redbud Island… they will be annihilated right away by the Five-Color Aurora Lake. As for us, we do not even own the qualifications or the rights to enter the island.”
“If we are disguised within the human territory, we could still have a shot! But given the Ancestral God School’s power, which is much stronger than that of humans, if Luo Feng decides to hide on Redbud Island, there is really nothing we can do.”
******
Luo Feng remained on Redbud Island, cultivating at his leisure.
“My golden horned beast body has gone through two months of traveling among the stars. It has finally arrived at the destination of the fifth black metal board.”
Luo Feng revealed a trace of a smile.
