Swallowed Star

The tens of millions of heirs in midair were dumbfounded. These were the peerless talents of many races, highly confident in their knowledge and abilities. It was impossible for them to blindly believe Honed Heart Emperor’s words. Yet they now saw the truth with their own eyes. The five-color aurora had killed an heir for touching the silver wings. That meant…

Blade River Emperor was still alive!

”Blade River Emperor is still alive?” muttered the Light Perception Knight, looking down at the mansion gate from afar. Eyes fraught with astonishment, he said, ”How is this possible? He was obliterated! Does he have multiple bodies?”

It was very rare to possess more than one body in the universe. Though a second body could be created, the strength and breathing of the second body would differ from the original. As a knight, Light Perception Knight would have quickly been able to tell a phony from the real thing. Apparently, it was the original body of Blade River Emperor, not his second body that had been destroyed.

Light Perception Knight had a hard time accepting the idea. ”Multiple bodies? I am bestowed with this technique because I am the sacred son of the Kong Wan race. But he is just a human. How can he have that ability?” ”What should I do, now that he is still alive?” Light Perception Knight was very anxious.

While the tens of millions of heirs in midair above Bauhinia Island looked at the treasure on the ground in astonishment, a formidable force arrived.

A dragon-like body covered over 6,000 miles. As a pair of giant wings unfolded, and the dragon head of the creature extended and looked downward. Suddenly, the tens of millions of heirs landed on the ground and bowed respectfully.

”Master of the island,” they said in greeting.

It was the guarding beast god of Bauhinia Island who had arrived!

The guarding beast god’s voice was a guttural rumble. ”How dare that universe knight attempt to assassinate Blade River Emperor at the vital center of the Ancestral God School? For blatantly violating the rules of the Ancestral God School, he deserves to be dead—forever! Even if time and space were reversed, and Mud Swallowing Knight was resurrected, the Ancestral God School would hunt him down and kill him again!”

This formidable force terrified the heirs. How brutal the guarding beast god was!

The Ancestral God School would chase and kill the revived Mud Swallowing Knight? Since the guarding beast god delivered the message, it must represent the opinions of the leaders of the Ancestral God School, thus frightening numerous heirs.

”Luckily for me, I didn’t make a move first,” said Light Perception Knight, shuddering at the thought.

”I can’t believe other heirs would try to snatch Blade River Emperor’s possession,” the guarding beast god said, looking down with cold eyes. ”Blade River Emperor’s inheritance token is not broken! Of course he is still alive! Although the Ancestral God School is lenient, once a rule is set, it cannot be challenged. For seizing an item from an heir, that thief deserved to die.”

Meanwhile, in a pavilion of Luo Feng’s mansion. There was a cushion on the ground. The cushion had been transformed from the Mosha body and contained the World Ring. Inside the World Ring was Luo Feng’s core.

In the vast internal world, a naked, black-haired youth hovered high in the upper at the center of the world.

”I did it again,” chuckled Luo Feng. ”I can’t believe the other races tried to assassinate me at the cost of a universe knight—and the very moment I went out! They must indeed think highly of me. Too bad they failed; they have only wasted a bit of my energy.”

A battle uniform condensed over the surface of Luo Feng’s body.

After Luo Feng’s 620,000 battles, the news that other races were going to assassinate him spread widely. If other heirs suspected an assassination attempt, how could Luo Feng not have known about it?

But he was very confident. Since he could have more than one body, he had nothing to worry about as long as he kept his core in his mansion, the safest place for him. Even if his original earthling body was destroyed, he could be revived. Furthermore, since his soul did not perish, his inheritance token would not be broken, and the five-color aurora lake would know that he was still alive. In that case, he knew that only he could touch his treasure. If anyone tried to take it, they would be attacked and killed by the five-color aurora lake.
