Chapter 959: Astonishing the Universe

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

On the open-air square of the World of Glory, millions of heirs flipped through their black books frequently, viewing Luo Feng’s combat records within the ranking of third-stage heirs. Today was the third day since Luo Feng commenced accepting his challenges. He had fought 2,700 battles. “2,682 wins, 18 losses” was his latest record.

“Why is this Blade River Emperor so powerful?” asked one challenger. “It seems I am going to lose one of my glory points. I have always been very cautious when it comes to inviting others to fight in the battle world. I never choose anyone who ranks higher than me. I have tried my best to choose the weaker ones or someone on essentially the same level as me, at best. Thanks to my caution, I have collected 51 glory points till this day. Now, I’m going to lose a point just like that? At this speed, the Blade River Emperor must have collected plenty of glory points.”

“You don’t say,” said a great, sea-monster-looking being with dozens of tentacles. He seemed rather bitter. “I think I am going to lose my glory point to Luo Feng as well. Who would have known that this human was so strong? Alas!”

“The hundreds of thousands of inheritors that have challenged him to fight shall suffer great losses.”

“Although I didn’t challenge him, I could understand everyone’s thinking,” offered another. “How pleasant it would be to humiliate the legendary Blade River Emperor, who is such a powerful sector lord, even without any external assistance. He is absolute…”

Almost every conversation in the open-air square was about Blade River Emperor. The inheritors were incredibly irritated. Even as the heirs spoke, Luo Feng’s winning rates went up sharply.

2,779 wins, 19 losses.

2,789 wins, 19 losses.

2,811 wins, 19 losses.

2,889 wins, 19 losses.

The heirs, who had to fight so hard to gain one glory point, now felt rather embarrassed. If the Blade River Emperor had shown his strength in the world of battle from the beginning, never would so many heirs have sacrificed their glory points to challenge him.

The heirs treasured their glory points dearly, but regret was futile.

“Perhaps Blade River Emperor is just an outlier,” said one heir, sighing deeply. “It’s unusual to collect glory points in such a great amount.”

How could one ever hope to be like Luo Feng? Firstly, they would have to be famous among the billions of races in the universe. Few great beings had enjoyed fame to this extent. Secondly, they would have to be sector lords. Otherwise, the heirs of other races would not challenge them so readily. The heirs were not stupid; only when facing sector-lord-level heirs would these peerless talents believe they could win.

In the history of the Ancestral God School, Luo Feng was not the only sector lord who had arrived at the Land of Inheritance, but few sector lords had done this. Among these few sector lords, two were very famous, but neither had willpower as strong as Luo Feng’s.

After these battles, Luo Feng’s strength had convinced numerous heirs on Bauhinia Island. Without any external assistance, Luo Feng, as a sector lord, was able to stand on the peak of the third-stage fighters during combats in the battle world!

Some superpowers of the universe had noticed Luo Feng long ago. Once a large number of challenges began, many heirs sent the information back to their clans.

In front of the magnificent Sky Wolf Palace, roaring sounds trembled the entire area, which was filled with flames as large as fixed stars.

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

The Master of Sky Wolf’s eyes were fraught with malice. “The human, Blade River Emperor, must not live!”

Lurking among the void before Sky Wolf Palace, the giant snake shadow was alarmed by Master of Sky Wolf’s rage.

“His law comprehension is surprisingly strong to rank as one of the best among the third-stage heirs,” Master of Sky Wolf roared. “He can compare himself with innumerable peerless talents of diverse races! He must be about to fulfill the third stage of beast god inheritance. And as far as law comprehension, he is also close to that of universe knights.”

“As long as he wants to, he can become an undying fighter at any time,” continued Master of Sky Wolf. “Once he has become undying, coupled with his plentiful glory points, his alarming amount of inheritance opportunities from the Ancestral God School—plus with his comprehension, which is very close to that of universe knights—it would be a simple matter for him to become a universe knight! Then it will be difficult to have him killed.”

Master of Sky Wolf issued an order. “Hurry up. Devise a plan and report it to me. We must kill this human quickly.”

“Right,” the giant snake shadow bowed and said respectfully.

Suddenly, Master of Sky Wolf’s green eyes shot out two green rays, landing on the giant snake shadow. “Go,” he said.

Boom.

Removed from this time-space, the giant snake shadow arrived at a time-space beyond Sky Wolf Palace’s control. Then it teleported and vanished.

“Human…” grumbled Master of Sky Wolf as he stood before the palace. His green eyes were constantly flickering with the intention to kill. Among the universe masters of the demon clans, Master of Sky Wolf was surely one of the most cunning and cruel.

“When I saw Blade River Emperor before, I didn’t take him seriously because he was just an insignificant sector lord. Unexpectedly, he can still defeat most of the heirs in the battle world, even without the help of many treasures from the outside world! His law comprehension is amazingly insightful! If he is assisted by a large number of inheritance opportunities…”

Master of Sky Wolf now deemed Blade River Emperor a major threat to demons in the future.

In the mysterious and desolate Star Domain.

In the void, a black ripple expanded outwards in concentric circles. At the core of the black ripple was an enormous black throne standing tens of thousands of miles tall. At the top of the back of the throne, 18 golden skulls of various races were embedded.

The black throne was at the core of the endless black ripple that covered billions of miles of the void. Anyone looking upon this throne might have mistaken it for an endless sea of blood, with its 18 embedded golden skulls howling at all times.

“Master.”

A great being with nine scorpion tails lay on the verge of the ripple. Its voice penetrated the ripple.

“Here is the news from our clan’s heirs in the Ancestral God School. The human, Blade River Emperor, has agreed to engage in hundreds of thousands of fights. Currently, he has only lost 19 out of 2,781 battles. He is, without a doubt, the best of the best emperor-undying-level inheritors on Bauhinia Island. And it is predicted that he will be able to exchange his points for a surprising amount of inheritance opportunities. It is highly possible that he will become a universe knight in the future.”

“Haha…”

Soul-penetrating laughter was heard from the black throne, causing the previously calm time-space to tremble and stirring up a black wave, as if innumerable black dragons were chasing one another and wandering in the void.

“A peerless talent has emerged from the human race,” said the voice, “and he is about to become a peerless great being. It is not us, the prison clan, but the human race’s neighbors—the automaton race, demon race and bug clan—who are most anxious about this situation. Haha! Just wait and see. The assassination attempts targeting this human peerless talent are about to begin. I look forward to seeing whether this human will become a peerless great being after the brutal obstacles… or fail miserably along the way. Haha! Go. Go.”

The laughter from the black throne echoed in the time-space. At the end of the black wave, the great being with nine scorpion tails bowed and vanished.

The creatures of the “prison race,” one of the six pinnacle races, had their roots in a peculiarly dangerous place of the universe, but they had survived the perilous place and made a name for themselves. The physiques, appearances, and the life essences of these prison race great beings varied; some were rock creatures while others were made of flesh and blood. But they shared one thing in common. They were all born in that peculiarly dangerous place. A place that they called “Prison,” from which they took their name.

Forged by numerous crystals, a cluster of magnificent palaces covered a region in several light years. Within the cluster of crystal palaces, planets, fixed stars, and neutron stars were like ornaments embedded everywhere.

A high tower among the palaces stood 3.2 light years tall. Its razor-sharp spire shot a bright ray upward into the depths of the boundless, starry sky. Everywhere this ray traveled, a hole would be pierced on any planet or fixed star. The power of this ray could reach almost the entire starfield before it completely declined.

Many great beings resided within the cluster of palaces. In front of the tower, two universe knights stood guard. They had impeccable appearances and perfect bodies forged by crystals. Their heights were almost the same, and they both wore dark-green ancient armor that emitted formidable force. Between their eyebrows, they both had a golden eye issuing invisible waves in all directions and supervising the vast areas around the high tower.

Inside the tower.

“My lord, that is how the situation is,” a great being said, kneeling in the hall.

Above the hall stood a great being with a gleaming, crystal-cast godly body, dressed in a resplendent golden robe. As the golden eye between his eyebrows gazed below, it seemed that the heart of the universe knight below was pierced through.

“How interesting,” said the great being, and though the voice was gentle, it possessed a persuasive power. “The human race usually wins due to their large population, and every human possesses tremendous potential. How unexpected that such a talent has emerged among them. Issue my order that the human, Blade River Emperor, has been listed as an ‘invincible’ level creature of another race.”

“Yes, my lord.”

******

Powerhouses of the universe including as the six pinnacle races, the space beast alliances, and the northern border alliances had all received the news.

At the summit of Thunder Island in the virtual universe was the Palace of Primal Chaos Energy. A blurry phantom stood before the palace. And then, he walked into the center of the hall and said respectfully, “Primal Chaos City Leader, assassination attempts against Luo Feng are almost a certainty. How should we handle this operation? Please give us your instructions.”

“Assassinations?” said the voice of the Primal Chaos City Leader. “Shadow, how can you be so sure?”

Startled, the blurry phantom said, “Blade River Emperor has agreed to fight over 620,000 battles. And don’t you know about the results of his latest 3,000 battles? I sent you messages long ago.”

“Luo Feng has accepted 620,000 battles?”

The figure dressed in golden globe walked out from the Primal Chaos Energy. It was the Primal Chaos City Leader. As he touched the void slightly, three messages fell one by one. Obviously, he had read none of the messages the Shadow Emperor had sent him.
