Chapter 961: Ambush on All Sides

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

On Bauhinia Island, there were plenty of palaces for the heirs from different races. Several thousand miles away from Luo Feng's mansion, there was an ancient mansion like a massive dead tree, which was the residence for an emperor-level heir from the bug clan. On top of the manor, a universe knight stood silently.

"Orders from the alliance," said the Light Perception Knight to the emperor-level heir. "I am to stay at your palace temporarily, and you must not divulge this information."

"Yes," the heir replied respectfully. "Knight, if you want me to do anything for you, please tell me. I will be in the silent room."

"All right. Off you go." The Light Perception Knight nodded.

After the heir left, the Light Perception Knight was the only one on the top floor. Sitting with his legs crossed, he looked over the railings at the space before Blade River Emperor's mansion in the distance.

"Although the bug clan alliance has nearly 10,000 heirs on Bauhinia Island, only a few dozen of them can see Blade River Emperor's mansion clearly from their dwellings," Light Perception Knight said to himself. "This is the only way to watch over him. Once Blade River Emperor comes out, I can spot him. Today, his battles come to an end. He will probably come out."

Light Perception Knight stared at Luo Feng's mansion. In total, 626,183 heirs had challenged Luo Feng. Only days after Luo Feng commenced his battles, various clans had contacted each other and confirmed that this was the correct number. As Luo Feng fought 1,000 battles every day, today was the day he was scheduled to finish all the battles.

With a bit of his consciousness connecting to the World of Glory, Light Perception Knight looked at Luo Feng's ever-changing battle records in the black book.

"The last 32 battles," he muttered.

At the thought of Luo Feng's formidable battle records, Light Perception Knight couldn't help but have mixed feelings. The tremendous number of glory points owned by Luo Feng was simply unbelievable, rendering Light Perception Knight envious. Prior to Blade River Emperor, no others had ever gained this many glory points.

"If the rest of the great beings knew that you were so powerful, they wouldn't challenge you unless they were confident enough to win," Light Perception Knight said to himself. "If I could possess these glory points, I might have the chance to become a Universe Overlord."

He checked the book again. "All the battles have concluded." With his eyes lit up, Light Perception Knight stared at Luo Feng's mansion more intensively.

Apart from the three knights sent from the automaton clan, the bug clan, and the demon clan, several great beings from other powerhouses were also watching silently. Though they did not step in, they didn't mind viewing a significant battle. Those powerhouses had already speculated that the three pinnacle races adjacent to the human race would not allow Blade River Emperor to continue growing stronger.

Only the toughest side would survive this battle.

Everyone was waiting silently. One hour went by. Then two hours. Then three hours…

Including the Light Perception Knight, the three knights were hidden in three different places where they could observe Blade River Emperor's mansion. All of them waited patiently, including the great beings of the other powerhouses.

"Perhaps Blade River Emperor is tired after fighting continuously for so long. He will probably come out soon."

A day went by. Then two days. Then three days…

Finally, the universe knights and emperor-level heirs that had been continuously staring at Luo Feng's mansion became a bit restless.

Is Blade River Emperor going to hide in his mansion forever? they wondered. But he must go out to accept his inheritances at the inheritance passageway before the Palace of Bauhinia Island, right?"

The other clans were quite bewildered. But the fact was, Luo Feng had never come out.

*******

The Virtual Universe, the Nine Star Bay of Black Dragon Mountain.

For the past few days, Luo Feng had done nothing but spend time with his family. Although he was insanely persistent about his cultivation, he could not neglect his family, and he admitted that he owed them a lot.

"Dad, you know what?" said Luo Ping with a laugh. "Younger brother caused big troubles while adventuring in the universe. But what's amazing was that the sovereign of Ganwu, the most powerful being in the Ganwu universe, saved him!"

Xu Xin couldn't help but say, "Luo Feng, discipline your son. He indeed has made a mess this time."

"What's the matter?" Luo Feng looked at his son, Luo Hai, curiously.

"Nothing," said Luo Hai. "I just wanted to make a name for myself with my strength without showing off my identity while adventuring in the universe. And then I pissed someone off." Luo Hai pursed his lips. "He was very arrogant because he had an undying-level emperor teacher. So what? My dad is the disciple of the Primal Chaos City Leader! Why should I be afraid of that douchebag?"

"So, you guys fought?" Luo Feng also smiled.

Luo Hai nodded. "Yes. That idiot was barely able to beat me, all right? However, his undying-level emperor teacher showed up in the end. Furiously, he attacked me, and the plants that I brought with me were no match for him. Because I was adventuring with my friends from Ganwu, the news that we got involved in a fight with that douchebag traveled back to Ganwu swiftly. Unexpectedly, the sovereign of Ganwu showed up in person and protected us."

Luo Feng was a bit surprised that, over the course of 10,000 years, his son had, for the first time, provoked a great being who was an undying-level emperor.

"Be more cautious next time," said Luo Feng.

Since his son Luo Hai wanted to follow his path and become a great being, it was expected that he would encounter some dangers and setbacks. All his son could do was remain alert.

"Luo Feng, the sovereign of Ganwu, has treated our family well," said Xu Xin. "Not only did he save Luo Hai a few years ago, but he also bestowed us a large patch of territories as big as 12 starfields a year ago. What's more, those territories were the 12 starfields around our hometown, Black Dragon Mountain Starfield. The royals of the Ganwu universe were the ones who had made such an arrangement to compensate the royals of those 12 starfields."

"A year ago?" Luo Feng was a bit startled. At that time, he had been halfway through his battles against the 620,000 heirs.

It seems that the sovereign of Ganwu is well-informed, said Luo Feng to himself.

Without visiting Luo Feng, the Ganwu Emperor had quietly helped the Luo family time and again, and had even saved Luo Feng's son Luo Hai. Usually, the Ganwu Emperor would not know about such a triviality as Luo Hai and his friends being in danger. Apparently, the Ganwu Emperor must have instructed that any information about Luo Hai be delivered to him directly. That was the only explanation for why the Ganwu Emperor could arrive at the battlefield so swiftly.

"Emperor of Ganwu, I will remember your favor," Luo Feng said to himself.

Nine days had passed since Luo Feng had finished his battles. On Bauhinia Island, the great beings of the various races that wanted to kill Luo Feng were still waiting patiently for him to come out.

Luo Feng's mansion, in a pavilion close to a lake.

Filled with enormous pride, Luo Feng held a wine glass and said to himself, "621,081 wins and 5,102 losses. Over 610,000 glory points. With every 100 glory points, I can exchange for one inheritance opportunity. Haha! Those heirs of other clans planned to humiliate me, but it is I who have benefited significantly. Every single one of my 620,000 or so rivals were peerless talents, but only six were undoubtedly stronger than me. Though plenty other rivals defeated me, they got lucky—just as I was lucky enough to beat other heirs."

In respect to accumulated points, Luo Feng ranked first! After all, his 621,081 wins were an impressive feat. The great being who ranked second only had 9,822 wins. In terms of win-loss ratio, this runner-up—who had won 9,822 times and lost only three times—was far better than Luo Feng.

In summary, six of the nine most potent third-stage heirs had battled against Luo Feng. Besides that, nearly 10,000 heirs whose power had been on the same level as Luo Feng had fought him.

"After so many battles, I have gained more comprehension about the Dao of Beast God. Nevertheless… There's no rush for me to accept my inheritances, for it's only been two years since my last inheritance. I need to concentrate on internalizing the experience I have gained from these 620,000 battles before I receive the inheritances. Through this opportunity, I should completely understand the third-stage inheritance. After that, I can set out to search for the special life suitable for my third body."

Luo Feng had made detailed plans a long time ago and couldn't afford any sloppiness. Without any hesitation, Luo Feng sat with his legs crossed and started to study the Dao of Beast God above the pavilion near a lake.

On Bauhinia Island, Light Perception Knight and the other two knights still waited anxiously for Luo Feng to appear. The heirs from other powerhouses had already given up. Many of them cursed Luo Feng secretly.

"He has been hiding in his house without going out," they said. "What a hideous and spineless human. But with so many glory points, how could you not go to the Land of Inheritance?"

One year past. Then two years. Three years…

100 years.

200 years.

300 years…

In the beginning, the Light Perception Knight observed Luo Feng's mansion with his full attention for three years. He also cursed him secretly. Later, as he started to cultivate, he only used a bit of his consciousness to watch over Luo Feng and didn't bother to curse the human anymore.

As time went by, the Light Perception Knight brought out an intelligent robot and opted to let the robot supervise Luo Feng's mansion. He didn't want to watch Luo Feng's dwelling place any longer.

"Just wait," he muttered. "One day, you will go to receive inheritances, and I'll be waiting for you."

Light Perception Knight had no other option but to wait.

******

In a blink of an eye, 900 years had passed.

"Wow! 900 years of contemplation," Luo Feng said joyfully. "Those 620,000 battles were especially beneficial to me. I have achieved amazing progress in space law comprehension and beast god conception. And I am close to fulfilling the third stage of the Dao of Beast God."

Luo Feng had been cultivating the law of the fusion of space and gold. By comprehending fusion, Luo Feng had also gained more insights about space.

Now, both my original earthling body and my golden-horned beast second body can teleport, he thought. But I still need to comprehend the other two major aspects regarding space law.

Suddenly, Luo Feng stood up.

"Time to go out. If I go to receive inheritances now, I believe that I can fulfill my Third Volume right away."

Luo Feng looked at the gate to his mansion in the distance.

******

Moments later.

Amid the silence, Luo Feng pulled open his mansion's gate, which issued a squeaking sound, and walked out with a smile. At this time, no heirs were personally watching Luo Feng's residence; even the three universe knights had arranged robots or slaves to do their job, who now reported the news.

"My lord, the door is open."

"My lord, Blade River Emperor has come out."

"My lord, he is here."

With a great shudder, the three universe knights in three dwellings on Bauhinia Island woke up. In an instant, several other heirs who had also sent out slaves or robots to monitor Blade River Emperor's mansion were on the move as well!
