Luo Feng left the cave and arrived at the surface of the snow. He walked slowly on the snow.
"Masters of the universe are the peak of the universe," Luo Feng said under his breath. "However, not all the masters are equally powerful. The castellan is top-tier, Second Brother Flaming Emperor is mid-tier, and Big Brother Pu Ti is low-tier. Regardless, they were all awed by billions of clans in the universe. Nevertheless, Flaming Emperor doesn't possess a treasure like Star Tower, even though he has two treasures, while the treasures Pu Ti has might be inferior to those of Flaming Emperor. Star power triggered the war between the top four clans. It's able to stand solid between stars in the battlefield outside the domain, consuming energies constantly, which led to nine whirlpool nebulas, and the whirlpool could easily tear a universe knight apart. The most powerful treasure."
Luo Feng nodded in silence. According to Mountain Sitting Guest, when Luo Feng became a universe knight and collected the last piece of metal for Nine-Calamity Tome, he would almost be able to operate the entire Star Tower, and if he managed to do that, he could have the authority to talk with masters of the universe equally.
That means I will be the equal of the masters of the universe when I become universe knight, as long as I can operate the Star tower, Luo Feng thought. In this case, I must not waste this treasure, which is coveted by even the most powerful in the universe. The core of each element of the Star Map is a soul-controlling valuable.
Tower Pearls and Sealing Stars were nothing compared to the Star Tower. It was incredibly powerful.
The more Luo Feng thought about it, the more convinced he was that he had been right to follow the spirit reader path.
Teacher said following both paths spelled failure to create the seventh move. Luo Feng shook his head. However, the castellan also said before that no human could become a Universe master following the path of beast god. Maybe some individuals of the barbarian races managed to.
"Of course, they are but exceptions," mused Luo Feng. "Exceptions can't represent anything. Maybe the teacher exaggerated a bit to convince me."
Luo Feng walked step by step on the snow. Thoughts kept flooding his mind, which was affected by what the castellan had said. Although Luo Feng stayed firm both in front of his teacher and himself, the castellan was one of the three most powerful humans in the universe, and what he said could exert a huge impact on Luo Feng. That was why he needed to keep reminding himself of his motive in the first place.
He was firm not only because he had faith in himself but also because Mountain Sitting Guest was more powerful than the castellan.
Luo Feng wasn't blind. Without Mountain Sitting Guest, he would ponder for quite a while because of what the castellan said.
A creature hid behind the ice tablets at the peak of an iceberg, staring at the void afar.
"That is?"
The blurry figure trembled and flew out, landing on the snowfield tens of millions of kilometers away. It was a metal creature with a metallic luster all over his body. His eyes were like rubies, and the body was stooping—like a cheetah trying to stand on two feet.
He was staring at the footsteps on the snow.
"I've never seen footsteps like this." He examined them with his back bent, after which, he brightened. "Is it the human's? If so, it's my lucky day."
Sou!
He took off along the overlook, noticing another footstep thousands of kilometers away. He teleported himself over and over again toward the footsteps, and after dozens of times of doing so, he spotted a shadow wandering on the snow. Each step he took was more than 1,000 kilometers long.
"Haha! It is the human!" The metal creature was exhilarated. "I'm the first one to find him, which means I don't need to live in fear anymore!"
Hu!
He dove toward Luo Feng.
Luo Feng made an abrupt turn and saw a creature flying toward him. Luo Feng saw the two-meter-tall body covered with dimming gold and the ruby-like eyes.
"It's metal Ka Tuo. Ranked 626."
The powerful ones were killing each other in Ice Hell. Nobody would approach each other if they weren't close, just as the weaker ones wouldn't approach the top ten limit emperors. If they did so, they brought death upon themselves.
"A guy ranked 626 dares to challenge me," Luo Feng said. He stretched his left arm and 52 black balls appeared. "I'll test my second move on you."
The second move was extraordinarily complicated. However, it was so powerful that the engravings needed 52 stars to carry.
Hong, long, long!
Countless golden threads connected the stars and 1,000-meter long beast god appeared. The beast god was dense, the scales on it were distinct. The scale-covered tail was the sturdiest. The scales on other parts of the beast god seemed to be covered with dust, whereas those on the tail were spick and span. There was a mystical vibe of law inside.
The sense of its aggressiveness emanated. Millions of square kilometers of space were trembling because of the beast god. The combination of 52 stars, the powerful secret techniques, and the stronger conception of beast god after 2,000 years resulted in outrageously magnificent power.
"No!" Metal Ka Tuo, who was originally overjoyed, was almost scared to death and teleported himself hundreds of thousands of kilometers afar, saying, "I mean you no harm, human. I come here in the name of Sky Wolf."
Luo Feng stood on the snow with the aggressive beast god floating above. Luo Feng looked at the beast god with satisfaction. He exercised this move because he wanted to try it in a real battle, and it seemed that it would wield significant power.
"Sky Wolf?" Luo Feng looked at the metal creature from afar, waved his hand, and the beast god disappeared. The 52 stars fell from the sky to his palms.
The metal creature flew toward Luo Feng carefully and smiled with respect. He took out the tablet of ranking. "Mr. Human, please see for yourself."
"Ranking?" Luo Feng skimmed the tablet and surveyed the ranking and the bounty Sky Wolf had offered to everyone in Ice Hell. "Why is Sky Wolf so keen to find me after he promised not to kill me to the public."
"I'll go check."
After thinking about it for a short while, Luo Feng decided to go. "Lead me there," Luo Feng said, looking at the metal creature.
Ka Tuo was thrilled and said, "Mr. Human, how lucky I am to be the first one to meet you. I'll lead you to the palace of the master of Southern Ice Hell now."
He teleported himself with Luo Feng to Southern Ice Hell.
Luo Feng looked at the palace from afar and the ice tablets with rankings around the palace.
"Mr. Human, I don't dare to teleport inside, so let's just fly there," Ka Tuo said.
"Let's go." Luo Feng nodded.
Sou!
Two beams of light traveled toward the palace, and two of the servants were alerted.
There were seven servants around Sky Wolf's palace; five of them were brought by Sky Wolf from the outside. They dealt with minor duties, while the other two were in charge of guarding the palace. These two had been mentally controlled by Sky Wolf ever since being severely damaged by him.
"Who? Who dares to trespass?" the servants of emperor level shouted after seeing the lights. "Um, isn't that…?" They looked at them carefully. "Human!"
"It's the human!"
They exchanged an eye contact after identifying the human whom their master had been dying to meet.
"It's me who brought the human here," Ka Tuo said with a smile.
"Lucky for you, Ka Tuo, you'll get the eternal protection of the master," one of the servants said. "Human, master has been waiting for you for more than 200 years. Come with me, both of you."
The servant brought both of them into the palace. Luo Feng observed the surroundings and was able to see the giant beast sitting on the throne. It was Sky Wolf of the royal demon race.
Sky Wolf looked enormous with its more-than-ten-kilometer-body, whereas it was to the golden-horned beast like an ant to an elephant.
"Human!" Its eyes opened and overlooked him.
"Sky Wolf." Luo Feng looked at Sky Wolf from afar and smiled. "Why are you looking for me so eagerly that you made such a promise to everyone in Ice Hell? Is there anything you want from me?"
"Of course, there is."
Sky Wolf looked to Ka Tuo, who was bowing with reverence. Sky Wolf said slowly, "You brought him here, Ka Tuo?"
"Yes," Ka Tuo answered.
"Okay," Sky Wolf said. "From now on, nobody will dare to touch you around your palace."
"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Sky Wolf." Ka Tuo was so thrilled that his body was trembling. As someone ranked lower than 600, he was one of the weaker in Ice Hell and had to live in fear all the time, which was why he often went out to look for Luo Feng, knowing he could get Sky Wolf's protection.
"Go." Sky Wolf didn't want to talk much with Ka Tuo.
Ka Tuo greeted Sky Wolf with veneration and bowed to Luo Feng with gratefulness before leaving the palace. Luo Feng couldn't help feeling for the weaker creatures in Ice Hell.
Hong, long, long. The door was closed.
"The door is closed, and only your servants are here." Lou Feng looked at Sky Wolf on the throne. "You can say what you want now."
