Chapter 1108: Sky Flower Knight

Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The moment the higher-ups of the human race like Primal Chaos City Leader caught wind of the news, they deduced that the intruder on Redbud Island must have been a universe supreme being, that was the first thought that immediately came to their minds… The bug clan, demon clan, and automaton race already wanted to eliminate Luo Feng, and he was on Redbud Island all this while. When backed into a corner, the three pinnacle races would go for the most reliable method—getting a universe supreme being to do the killing. This was a possibility!

Once they arrived at this conclusion, Primal Chaos City Leader was quite shaken. Fortunately, Luo Feng's consciousness was always connected to the virtual universe, so Primal Chaos City Leader was aware that Luo Feng was alive! That was when he could calm himself down.

However, Primal Chaos City Leader was also confused… If a universe supreme being was there to kill Luo Feng, then there should not have been any chance of failure unless Luo Feng was fast enough to self-destruct! If killing Luo Feng was not the motive, then what was going on?

"That universe supreme being was Virtual-Real Devil Master," Luo Feng said in a respectful manner.

"Virtual-real Devil Master?" Long Yan Master and Primal Chaos City Leader were flustered.

"Indeed, he came to Redbud Island to kill me."

Luo Feng considered for a short while, then decided to tell them the truth. After all, from a normal perspective, he was an up-and-coming great being among the humans; if the bug soldiers, demons, and automaton race were doing all they could to eliminate him, then naturally, the human race would do all they could to protect him.

He was a target for assassination by a universe supreme being, so by right, the human race should be doing something to help him. To depend solely on himself for a hard fight should not be necessary. He would first see what the race would do.

"He was there to kill you?" Primal Chaos City Leader asked with a trace of fervor in his eyes.

"If Virtual-Real Devil Master made a trip personally, how did you manage to escape?" Long Yan Master could not help asking.

Primal Chaos City Leader said, "If Virtual-Real Master was there, given his power, the island master of Redbud Island would not have been able to stop him. As for your Ancestor God from the Ancestral God School, he may not be able to make it in time to stop him… How could you…?"

"Teacher, it was Ancestor God who saved my life," Luo Feng informed them.

Long Yan Master and Primal Chaos City Leader exchanged eye contact. Both of them had reached a conclusion based on the information they received. Being able to make use of the Five-Color Aurora Lake without being discovered by any of the candidates on Bauhinia Island was a feat that only Ancestor God could achieve. What neither could comprehend was how Ancestor God could have made it there in time to intervene. Battles among the great always happened at breakneck speed!　

"If it wasn't for Ancestor God, I'm afraid…" Luo Feng shook his head as he recalled. "Since the time I gained recognition as a top-tier universe overlord and first arrived at Redbud Island, Ancestor God has been secretly staying in seclusion by my side. For 62 years, he has been my neighbor."　　

"Ah."

"Neighbor?"

Long Yan Master and Primal Chaos City Leader were taken aback, shocked that Ancestor God held Luo Feng with such high regard and was willing to be his bodyguard. He was, after all, the greatest authority in the entire Ancestral God School… This was such a beautiful gesture, for the highest being of the top power of the universe to stay by his side for so long, just to protect him in the dark. It was a gesture that would touch anyone's heart.

"Where are you now?" Primal Chaos City Leader asked right away.

"For now, I am temporarily out of Redbud Island," Luo Feng replied.

"You had better not go back yet. The bug soldiers, automaton race, and demons may have failed this time around, but it is hard to say. They may be back anytime." Primal Chaos City Leader ordered solemnly, "You may go for a silent retreat for now. As to how we should deal with your problems, I need some time to ponder."

"Noted."

Luo Feng bowed before the two and within a blink of the eye, vanished into thin air.

Long Yan Master and Primal Chaos City Leader contemplated the problem in silence for some time.

"Primal Chaos City Leader," Long Yan Master said, finally breaking the silence, "Redbud Island is no safe ground. The three races are determined to kill Luo Feng. Their desire is so strong that it is frightening. Previously, we were just making conjectures, but we had not expected everything to come true. Especially when the opponent was Virtual-Real Devil Master, the one who was most highly-skilled in creating illusions; when used against someone like Luo Feng, who has the talent technique of dividing bodies, his skills would be a most frightening threat."

"I will inform Huge Axe and gather the universe masters to discuss this matter." Primal Chaos City Leader could not contain his anxiety any longer.

******

When all the universe masters of the human race were once again gathered together for a discussion, Luo Feng was back in one of the chambers of his palace, continuing to browse through information on the numerous top-tier universe overlords.

"In my human race, if I count myself, then there will only be four top-tier universe overlords," he mumbled to himself. "Automaton race has four top-tier universe overlords. The demon clan has a total of 21 top-tier universe overlords. After all, within the demon clan, there are different bloodlines that are ranked on different levels. There are quite a few with the talent technique of dividing bodies, so the number of top-tier universe overlords is quite a lot. The bug clan… it has 81 universe overlords, of which only two are top-tier universe overlords. However, the moment universe overlords of the bug clan make use of the Bug Ocean Combat Tactic, they are comparable to top-tier universe overlords of other races."

Luo Feng nodded to himself. The bug clan was a frightening presence. The bug Mother Queen alone would only have the combat power at the level of a universe overlord. But she would do all she could to create a clan of bug warriors that were of universe knight level. Although she only had a massive godly body, she could distribute consciously to every warrior, allowing every single one of them to possess extremely powerful combat skills.

"Alliance clan of the automaton race: a total of 12 top-tier universe overlords. Alliance clan of the demon race: a total of 16 top-tier universe overlords. Alliance clan of the bug race: a total of 9 top-tier universe overlords. Who should I choose?"

Luo Feng eliminated the bug clan first. Mother Queen overlord of the bug clan was not a fearsome figure individually, but she could control and manipulate a massive number of bug warriors! Even if he could kill those bug warriors one by one, their queen would still be able to make an unhurried but speedy escape with her warriors warding her off.

The automaton race? It had a total of four top-tier universe overlords, just like the human race previously had a total of three. The true treasures under their possession were extremely powerful! And they were all positioned in restricted grounds of the automaton race, just like how Heaven Erosion Palace Master and Star Prison Devil Master of the human race were in restricted grounds within the human domain.

"Demon clan it shall be," said Luo Feng. "The demon clan has a great number of top-tier universe overlords, and they are very scattered." Luo Feng looked at all the information suspended in mid-air and suddenly looked to one set of information, "This is the one. Sky Flower Knight!"

Sky Flower Knight was a top-tier universe overlord of the demon clan. Within the Sky Wolf Clan, he was only second to Sky Wolf Master; he was the pride of the Sky Wolf Clan and was the special disciple of Sky Wolf Master. He was also the disciple of the clan's "Dream Demon Ancestor."

"Sky Flower Knight? Sky Wolf Master?" Luo Feng laughed lightheartedly.

He recalled that unforgettable time where he had attempted to make it out of Ice Hell. That almighty Sky Wolf Master had attempted to kill him. Fortunately, Primal Chaos City Leader Teacher had appeared and had come to his rescue!

"Sky Flower Knight, just your luck," said Luo Feng. "You are the chosen one."

After he had decided on his prey, Sky Flower Knight, Luo Feng started searching for various detailed information to devise his plot. He looked into the true treasures, techniques, and related information to understand his own powers, and also, he looked into possible places of residence!　　

While Luo Feng was planning, he received a call from Primal Chaos City Leader.

"Luo Feng. Come to primal chaos ruins to meet me."

"Yes, Teacher."

Luo Feng put everything aside. Since it was a command from his teacher, he wasted no time in making a speedy departure from his god country. He arrived at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, boarded a planet ship, and traveled through the universe tunnel to arrive at Primal Chaos City.

******

Walking within the palace, every guard that he met along the way was very respectful.

In the middle of the vast primal chaos ruins, Primal Chaos City Leader sat cross-legged as he waited for Luo Feng. When Luo Feng was near him, he opened his eyes.

"Teacher." Luo Feng gave a slight bow.

Hua.

With a wave, Primal Chaos City Leader threw something in the form of a ray of light that flew toward Luo Feng. Luo Feng caught the ray with one hand and looked down to see a triangular crystal in his palm. It was like an amethyst, with beautiful, ancient yet simple floral patterns; the crystal exuded a strangely attractive charm.

"This is a senior soul type true treasure that is more superior than those on the same level," Primal Chaos City Leader said. "Its original name is 'Afterimage.'"

"Afterimage?" said Luo Feng.

Luo Feng was stunned. Previously, when he traded for the top-tier true treasure blade, "Ghost Blade," he had scanned the catalog of items for trade. With his photographic memory, he would have naturally remembered everything that he had seen on the list after just one look. He clearly recalled that within one of the columns for soul type true treasures, Afterimage had been worth a total of 620 true treasure points!

Senior soul type true treasures were much more valuable than the ordinary top-tier true treasure weapons. For top-tier true treasure blades, normally 80 true treasure points would suffice. However, senior soul type true treasures would at least require 200 to 300 true treasure points. Afterimage was a notch higher than them all, reaching a value of 620 true treasure points. Of course, if it were a top-tier soul type true treasure, its value would be much higher, as it was equivalent to weapons like Thousand Treasure River and Blade River Luo, which would usually require a few thousand true treasure points.

"Teacher…" Luo Feng raised his head to look at Primal Chaos City Leader.

Primal Chaos City Leader smiled. "This is not from me. It is what our entire race is giving you. Of all our senior soul type true treasures, this is the best of the best. Afterimage. Its value is worth a few pieces of top-tier true treasure weapons! This is a final decision the race made upon learning that Virtual-Real Devil Master is hunting you down. We are giving you Afterimage to guard your soul."

"Your willpower and consciousness have reached the level of a universe master," Primal Chaos City Leader continued, "while Afterimage is one of the best senior soul type true treasures. Even if you were to cross paths with Virtual-Real Devil Master again, with Afterimage to guard your soul, at least your soul cannot be permeated and thereby controlled by another soul. You can still calmly self-destruct."

Luo Feng nodded. Indeed, if it was a true top-tier universe overlord—and even if his soul was protected by a true treasure—in the face of a universe supreme being, there was still no means of escape. Normally, universe overlords in such a situation would choose to self-destruct. Being able to self-destruct was considered a form of success…

But Luo Feng was different. He had the supreme true treasure Star Tower and the pinnacle true treasure Force Armor to protect his body.

Luo Feng was still filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Teacher," he said. He was indeed short of a soul type true treasure.

He might have Star Tower, but… both his original earthling body and his Golden Horned Beast body required a soul type true treasure. Upon gaining Afterimage, Luo Feng decided right away.

Afterimage shall be used by my original earthling body, who used to have Force Armor, which in turn has the efficacy of weakening soul attacks. Afterimage and Force Armor shall work together… This would make them comparable to a top-tier soul type true treasure! Then, even if I'm being attacked by Virtual-Real Devil Master, I will not be afraid of being unable to ward off his attacks.

Golden Horned Beast body has Star Tower. It has more than enough clout. If I were to venture out in the name of Blood Cloud Palace Master, at least I won't be putting the great name of Blood Cloud Palace Master to shame.

Luo Feng secretly made this decision. This treasure's arrival was timely.

Afterimage required 620 true treasure points. If Luo Feng were to contribute all of his remaining true treasures, he would still only have been able to obtain a fraction of this amount.

"With this true treasure, you can venture out to roam the universe," said Primal Chaos City Leader. "After all, it will not be that easy for the other three races like the bug soldiers to enlist the help of a universe supreme being again. You need not be overly worried." He continued solemnly. "With the level of power you have now, you should be honing your skills through combat; the birth of universe masters has always been achieved through the tough training from battles. Just working hard in cultivation does not help one in becoming a universe master. You should go now."

"Understood." Luo Feng bowed and left right away.
