The atmosphere was heavy inside the council chamber at the Luo Family headquarters in Nine Star Bay.

"Madam Luo, our Ross Family respects Lord Luo Feng, which is why we have repeatedly exercised restraint. But restraint does not mean we can be manipulated at will." A clear yet threatening voice rang out, "This is our bottom line. Offer these apologies, and this matter will be settled."

The speaker was the negotiator for the Ross Family, and also the former Ninth Imperial Princess of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, Brolin.

She possessed a stunningly beautiful face and an innate aura of a mature woman: her purple-gold armor outlined her graceful yet powerful curves, her long legs, encased in black stockings, were casually crossed, her delicate toes almost touching the edge of the negotiating table, showing no regard for etiquette.

A black triangular venomous snake was still coiled around her fingertips, its tongue flicking with a chilling glint, yet she played with it casually, her tone languid, as if discussing a trivial matter.

As the light swept across Xu Xin's tightly pursed lips and the undisguised humiliation in her eyes, Brolin felt a surge of indescribable pleasure.

Once upon a time, she was the high-ranking Ninth Imperial Princess of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. With her maternal grandfather's strong support, she was not far from becoming Empress. However, she developed a grudge against Luo Feng in the secret realm. After Luo Feng rose to prominence in the Genius Tournament, she was demoted again and again and exiled to the desolate edge of the universe.

If she hadn't fought so hard to gain the opportunity to the Ross Family, she probably would have already died out in the barrenness and loneliness of the borderlands, turning into cosmic dust.

Looking at Xu Xin's forced composure but barely concealed fear, Brolin sneered.

This seemingly frail woman was only fortunate to marry Luo Feng. If she had been the one to marry Luo Feng back then, how could the Luo Family be in such a precarious situation now?

Waste!

Brolin's eyes were filled with jealousy, and an barely suppressed envy, as she looked at Xu Xin. Why? Why could Xu Xin hold onto her position as Mrs. Luo, controlling hundreds of millions of Hunyuan of resources, so high and mighty?

But she could only become a pawn of the Ross Family, sent to bite people like a dog?

If she hadn't been so arrogant back then, if she had won over Luo Feng earlier, would she be sitting in Xu Xin's position today, wielding power in the Luo Family?

Brolin's tone was icy. "Mrs. Ross, the seven-day deadline has passed! You've almost exhausted the Ross Family's patience."

Do you really want to taste the wrath of the Ross Family?

However, the next second...

"Boss!"

Xu Xin's guards suddenly knelt on one knee, their voices extremely respectful, their faces filled with undisguised joy. One of the young men in black even stood up excitedly and greeted them loudly.

"Brother Feng!"

Brolin frowned.

Who's here?

"Tap, tap, tap~"

A figure in silver armor had already passed through the council hall doors and walked steadily to her side.

An invisible pressure suddenly spread out. It was not the oppression of power, but a terrifying aura brought about by pure will and consciousness, as if billions of corpses and seas of the Blood Sea were spreading out before our eyes.

The expressions of the Ross Family members changed drastically, and their breathing stopped instantly.

Brolin's body began to tremble uncontrollably. The venomous snake on her fingertip was startled and hissed, but she instinctively gripped it tightly, curling up in pain without even noticing.

"The Ross Family? King Jiantuo?" The silver-armored youth's gaze fell on Brolin, devoid of any warmth.

"Tell King Jiantuo for me," he said indifferently, "That he dares to bully my Luo Family. He's got some nerve. I'd like to know who gave him such audacity? Could it be that he accepted bribes from those Alien Race?"

After a pause, the silver-armored youth's eyes grew even more ruthless. "Tell him that if he doesn't give me a perfect answer, I won't hesitate to let him perish and make the Ross Family disappear from the universe!"

When Brolin met Luo Feng's eyes, which held the Blood Sea of countless battles and mountains of corpses, she felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly, making even breathing incredibly difficult.

Her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, her pupils dilated, completely terrified.

"Brother Feng!" The humiliation and fear in Xu Xin's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by indescribable joy. She quickly stood up, threw herself into Luo Feng's arms, and hugged him tightly.

Then, she raised her head and glanced triumphantly at Brolin, who was sprawled on the ground. Even though she was a business queen who controlled billions of resources, in front of Luo Feng, she was still the little woman who needed to rely on him.

Luo Feng was her whole world.

"Click, click~"

Tang Ping, standing to the side, was frantically taking pictures with a specially made recording device, afraid of missing this spectacular face-slapping scene.

He had always aspired to be a roguish Human Race, and at Xu Xin's request, he stayed here specifically to stand up and confront the Ross Family at a crucial moment. Little did he expect that today would be the day Luo Feng emerged from seclusion.

Luo Feng glanced at Tang Ping, who was neglecting his duties, and couldn't help but twitch his lips. What should have been a serious scene of showing off and getting slapped in the face was suddenly interrupted by this silly husky, making him unable to hold back his laughter.

Don't laugh!

He quickly composed himself, glanced at Brolin sprawled on the ground, and said contemptuously, "A family with Initial King dares to be so insolent in front of my Luo Family."

"Remember, your response must be 'perfect.' You know the consequences of anything less than perfect."

The members of the Ross Family were terrified, their heads bowed, not daring to even breathe.

"Get out." Luo Feng shouted coldly.

The Ross Family members felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They hurriedly bowed respectfully and then hurriedly helped the limp Brolin to her feet, leaving the council hall in a disheveled state. Only after leaving the Nine Star Bay area did they dare to quietly conceal themselves. Under the pressure of Luo Feng's terrifying aura, they didn't even dare to disappear offline on the spot.

After they left, the solemn council hall instantly became lively.

Tang Ping put away the recording equipment, leaned forward, and teased with a grin, "Mistress, can we move over a bit? I also want to hug Brother Feng. It's been over six thousand years since we last met, I've missed him so much."

Xu Xin blushed, but hugged Luo Feng even tighter, showing no intention of letting go.

Luo Feng waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Get lost! You don't smell as good as my wife."

"Tch! Who cares?" Tang Ping curled his lip in disdain. "You're no match for the fragrance of my maids!"

As he spoke, he turned and hugged Luo Ping, who was equally excited beside him. "But it's okay, I can still hug your son. Come on, Luo Ping, let's go listen to some music!"

"Don't you dare corrupt my son," Luo Feng said with a half-smile. "Otherwise, I'll take your son to the Outer Battlefield for training."

Tang Ping was instantly dumbfounded, and the smug smile on his face froze.

Upon seeing this, everyone in the council chamber burst into laughter. The tension and repression of the past few days vanished instantly, and the atmosphere became completely relaxed.

Once Luo Feng returns, everything will be over.

One wonders if those who betrayed or even harmed the Luo Family the past century are now filled with regret.

Virtual Universe, atop Thunder Island.

An ancient palace, shrouded in layers of Chaos energy, floats silently above the sea of clouds; it is the place where the Chaos City Lord cultivates in seclusion.

Swish!

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out, and Luo Feng's figure appeared out of thin air outside the palace gate. He then stepped into the palace.

"Teacher."

Amidst the Chaos air currents, a figure clad in a golden robe slowly emerged. The oppressive aura emanating from that figure was so powerful it was chilling, causing even Luo Feng veteran of countless battles, to momentarily freeze in his tracks.

But things are different now.

Ever since he witnessed firsthand the power of the Mountain Sitting Guest, an unparalleled expert who could stir up the laws of the universe with a mere wave of his hand, Luo Feng had vaguely realized that his mentor's aura and pressure were ultimately inferior to that of the universe's strongest expert.

"You're back."

The Chaos City Lord smiled and said, "It's good that you're back alive. These past six thousand years must have been quite difficult for you."

"It was more than just difficult." Luo Feng gave a bitter smile, recalling those years of struggling on the brink of life and death to carry on the legacy, a sigh still rising in his heart, "It was truly a period of immense suffering."

"Um?

The Chaos City Lord raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on Luo Feng, seemingly piercing through his body and reaching the depths of his soul. "Your will was already far superior to your peers, and now it has been refined even further. Moreover—you have actually gained the recognition of the Space Origin Law. Not bad, very good."

He immediately changed the subject, asking, "What stage have you reached in your Law Comprehension?"

"I estimate it's comparable to the Twentieth Layer of the Tongtian Bridge," Luo Feng replied, bowing respectfully.

"The twentieth floor?"

Upon hearing this, the Chaos City Lord remained calm and composed, "Your progress is indeed remarkable. Even compared to the most outstanding geniuses in the history of our Human Race, such as Ke Di and Shi Huo, you are now nearly on par. Hmm, not bad."

Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Something's not right!

He had actually managed to reach the twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge sheer force of will—an achievement that was extremely rare in the entire history of Human Race, so why did his teacher show no surprise whatsoever, only offering a dismissive "Not bad"?

Am I not a genius enough?

As if seeing through his thoughts, the Chaos City Lord changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "I already know about your family's affairs. For over six thousand years, you have kept your sharp edge hidden, never revealing strength commensurate with your status—find some time to challenge the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain being."

"If you successfully reach the summit, your fame will spread throughout the Human Race Territory, and those clowns will naturally dare not make any further moves against your family."

His voice suddenly turned cold. "If there are still any who are blind to the danger, then we must investigate them thoroughly... whether they are colluding with Alien Race and plotting to betray our Human Race!"

Breakthrough World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain?

Luo Feng was startled.

How could he not know what that Heaven-Reaching Mountain meant? Only a realm lord Law Comprehension had reached the twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge was qualified to set foot on its summit. Throughout history, those who had reached the top were all the most outstanding talents in Human Race history!

Only by standing atop that mountain peak would he truly be qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with legends like Ke Di, Shi Huo, and Tang Ping!

"Disciple obeys." Luo Feng replied in a deep voice, a glint of fervor flashing in his eyes.

"When it's time to restrain yourself, do so; when it's time to be assertive, show your true colors," the Chaos City Lord said slowly. "Now, all the Universe Master our Human Race have returned to their people. As long as you remain within the Human Race Territory, no one will dare to touch you in the slightest."

Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered Tang Ping's few words in the chat group on Falling Ink Star, and immediately asked curiously, "Master, are you seniors preparing for the conquest of Primitive Star?"

"Primitive Star?"

The Chaos City Lord chuckled upon hearing this and waved his hand, "It's not that serious. Primitive Star do indeed nurture Top-tier Supreme Treasure, but true Peak Treasure treasures might not appear even once every eons. It's not worth making our Human Race go to such lengths."

He changed the subject, his gaze landing on Luo Feng with a half-smile, "There is another important matter, of great importance, and speaking of which—it is somewhat related to you."

Luo Feng's heart sank.

No way?

Could it be for the Star Tower?

"What is it?" He suppressed the pounding in his heart and quickly asked.

"A secret," the Chaos City Lord uttered calmly. "You will find out in a few years."

As he spoke, he stopped mentioning the matter and changed the subject, asking about the preparation of a new identity for the Blade River King. He then inquired in detail about the Soldier Armor and General Armor's armor, and finally focused on Luo Feng's achievement of defeating King Rank expert while only being at the Realm Lord level.

It's important to understand that even with the ultimate Law Comprehension at the King Rank level, theoretically, the upper limit of a Realm Lord's combat power is only capable of killing Marquis Level being. Luo Feng's achievements are simply terrifying!

Only when he heard that Luo Feng had become a Black Warrior, one in ten million epochs of Human Race, did a genuine hint of approval finally flash in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord.

"Hmm, not bad."

Luo Feng was completely dumbfounded.

Good heavens!

Back when he created the <Bright Moon Strategy> Peak Secret Technique at the Immortal level, during his Realm Lord stage, even his teacher couldn't help but praise him in public. How come he has now become Black Warrior, an achievement that only occurs once every ten million years for the Human Race?

When it came to the teacher, it was just a casual "It's not bad either"?

Could it be that in these six thousand years, Human Race has produced an unparalleled genius who surpasses all historical records, thus raising the teacher's expectations to an unprecedented level?

Who is it?

A carefree, nonchalant figure suddenly flashed through Luo Feng's mind.

Tang Ping!

That reckless little pervert!

During this meeting, that guy was acting very mysteriously. Not only did he know his identity Blade River King, but even after guessing that he had recognized the Star Tower as his master, he still dared to brazenly challenge him to a duel.

Could it be that this kid's strength has increased by leaps and bounds, reaching an unbelievable level?

Luo Feng shook his head, quickly banishing the absurd thought from his mind.

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

He himself had endured over six thousand years of life-and-death trials to achieve his current accomplishments. Even if Tang Ping possessed Law Comprehension the laws, there must be a limit, right? He couldn't possibly have become the legendary Time Venerable in such a short time, could he?

Never mind, I don't want to think about these things anymore.

A thought flashed through Luo Feng's mind, and a hopeful smile appeared on his lips.

Perfect timing, he'll be going back to Earth soon. Firstly, he hasn't seen his wife in a long time and needs to spend some quality time with her; secondly, he wants to ask Tang Ping for the body and blood of that Nether Sea Clone.

According to Tang Ping, the Blood Sea is inhabited by flesh and blood beings. If one can use it as a guide to cultivate the Nine Calamities Secret Manual, one day his divine body will surely become the most terrifying existence in the entire Human Race Territory!

By then----

Shouldn't the teacher give themselves a good compliment this time?

Hehe~
