Mad. Completely mad.

Galaxy had to be insane.

Countless people were utterly shocked when they learned and confirmed the news.

Evil Eye, the Azure Domain Lord, had sat in the position of Domain Lord for far too long. Since taking office, he had faced only two challengers. One had been killed on the spot by Evil Eye Domain Lord, while the other had become his most loyal subordinate. After those two, across countless subsequent epochs, no one had dared challenge Evil Eye Domain Lord's divine might again.

No one knew whether Evil Eye Domain Lord's strength had improved after he stopped making moves, but everyone knew one thing: he was incredibly, incredibly strong, only one step away from entering the Saint Realm.

And now, after who knew how many epochs, someone had finally dared challenge Evil Eye's divine might.

Although they did not think highly of Galaxy's strength, everyone wanted to see Evil Eye Domain Lord fight again. Even if Galaxy could only withstand a few moves, he would have served his proper purpose.

They all looked forward to this battle, yet they all had their doubts.

"Galaxy actually dared challenge the City Lord. Could he really possess that kind of strength?"

"Galaxy is too arrogant. Does he really think he's invincible?"

"No one even knows where Galaxy came from, yet he's this conceited. I may never have seen the City Lord fight, but I've seen Brand, ranked fifth on the Azure Rankings, fight. He comprehended the mysteries of the Fire Origin Source, and his strength was terrifying. Even those barbarians famed for their defense would probably be incinerated into nothing by him. Yet he's only fifth on the Azure Rankings. Just how strong must the first-ranked person be?"

"Even if he defeated us easily, he can't compare to the City Lord. Among Eternal True Gods, some gaps are like heavenly chasms. No matter how strong he is, he cannot possibly surpass the City Lord. The current City Lord is absolutely invincible beneath the Saint Realm. Even the Celestial Star Pavilion Master, ranked second on the Azure Rankings, is nowhere near the City Lord's match, much less Galaxy."

"Galaxy is courting death, but I still hope to see them fight."

"Galaxy has already achieved a hundred consecutive victories. Though they were only victories at the lower levels, they satisfy the requirements for challenging the City Lord. The City Lord has no choice but to accept."

"Come on, let's guess which move Galaxy will die to. I'm certain he won't survive even the first move."

"..."

The matter of Luo Feng challenging Evil Eye Domain Lord spread throughout the circles of Eternal True Gods, Void True Gods, and True Gods. Many people in the virtual space gathered in twos and threes to discuss it. They were all in agreement: not a single one of them thought Luo Feng would win, nor did they have any reason to.

Which of the top five on the Azure Rankings was not a renowned super expert? Yet in the City Lord's eyes, they could basically be ignored. He had grown so powerful that others no longer dared challenge him rashly. Those two challengers from back then would each now possess the strength to rank among the top five on the Azure Rankings, yet one had still been easily killed, while the other had been beaten into complete submission and made into a subordinate.

In their eyes, Galaxy challenging the City Lord was no more than an ant trying to topple a tree.

Celestial Star Pavilion.

As the foremost of Azure City's eight great powers, it occupied a prime location second only to the City Lord's Manor.

At that moment, the Celestial Star Pavilion Master was expounding the Dao to numerous disciples in a vast martial arena.

"All right, we'll end here for today. Once you return, cultivate and contemplate carefully. If you have doubts, bring them up next time." The Celestial Star Pavilion Master's magnetic voice was full of warmth.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

The disciples soon departed one after another, leaving only the Celestial Star Pavilion Master, Zhan Tianxing, and his servant on the stage.

Zhan Tianxing was the one whose appearance most closely resembled that of Humanity. He was exceptionally handsome, a true beautiful man. The only slight difference was the crown of multicolored feathers atop his head, which looked even movingly beautiful. Behind him were a pair of enormous white wings, like an angel's wings.

"Galaxy? A human?" Zhan Tianxing murmured. He had also received the news that the human Galaxy had challenged Evil Eye.

"Uncle Lu, what is the background of this human Galaxy who recently appeared? Do we have any detailed information?" Zhan Tianxing rose to his feet and looked at the servant beside him, who also appeared human.

"Young Master, this old servant has recently heard of some of his deeds and had people investigate him. We can only say that we know a little," the elderly man called Uncle Lu replied respectfully. "According to the information we've gathered, Galaxy arrived in Azure City not long ago. There was no news of him before that. As for where he came from and what his identity is, we have yet to discover that."

Zhan Tianxing nodded. "Do we know where he is now? I want to meet him."

"Young Master wishes to see him? This old servant can simply bring him here," Uncle Lu quickly said.

Zhan Tianxing smiled. "If he fails in challenging Evil Eye, there is only death. Do you think someone who dares challenge Evil Eye would lack ability?"

"This old servant will immediately arrange for someone to confirm his location, then inform Young Master," Uncle Lu said in understanding.

At the same time, several others ranked among the top five on the Azure Rankings also learned the news.

"Some fellow who came from who knows where actually dared challenge Evil Eye. Interesting." Azure Nether Demon Lord grinned.

"The human Galaxy challenged Evil Eye?"

Blood Witch Lord and Fire Man Brand had both received the news as well. "Pass down the order. Find out this human's background."

The news spread rapidly. As it traveled across all of Azure City, it also began spreading from Azure City throughout the entire Azure Domain.

The Azure Domain was incomparably vast. Within a range of more than ten billion light-years, aside from Azure City, there were several other great cities. The City Lords of each were nearly second only to Evil Eye, the Azure Domain Lord. Some were even stronger than Zhan Tianxing. They had always coveted the position of Azure Domain Lord, and once they gained sufficient strength, they would challenge Evil Eye Domain Lord.

For these ancient City Lords, anyone challenging Evil Eye Domain Lord was likewise a major event.

Jing City, the great city second only to Azure City within the Azure Domain, was a city named after a super expert. That super expert was Jing, and thus he was called City Lord Jing.

City Lord Jing was an exceptionally powerful supreme existence. It was said that he had reached the peak of the eighth level of Eternal True Gods, the limit of the Eternal True God level. Aside from those with one foot in the Saint Realm or those with supreme attainments in illusion arts or soul attacks, City Lord Jing paid little attention to anyone else.

The most central estate in Jing City was this City Lord Jing's place of cultivation.

Inside an estate chamber, Jing, who cultivated year-round, suddenly opened his eyes. He had learned the news long ago.

"My will actually broke through not long after hearing this news. This human Galaxy really is my lucky star."

Jing was an incomparably enormous special lifeform with two arms and four legs. His body was massive, and his head resembled a mountain. It was said that his divine body stretched hundreds of millions of kilometers.

"My will has entered the Saint Realm. From now on, I need no longer fear Evil Eye." Jing felt incomparably exhilarated.

Previously, he had always feared Evil Eye too greatly to challenge him, because his will had remained at the limit of Eternal True Gods. Even though he possessed a Void-level soul supreme treasure, he knew he certainly could not withstand Evil Eye's fourth eye, empowered by Saint-level will. Once he challenged Evil Eye, he would either die or be enslaved.

But now, with his will entering the Saint Realm, he had gained some confidence.

In close combat, he believed himself not inferior to Evil Eye in the slightest and even capable of suppressing him. His only weakness was that his soul and will were too fragile. When facing someone like Evil Eye, who possessed powerful innate secret techniques targeting the soul, he did not even have the courage to fight.

The soul and will were both his weaknesses.

"My will had already reached its limit and only lacked a single stimulus. I never expected the appearance of this human Galaxy to fulfill me. If you die after failing your challenge, I, Jing, will avenge you." City Lord Jing knew how terrifying Evil Eye was. Deep down, he did not think highly of Luo Feng either. Even now, he had only gained the confidence to contend with Evil Eye because his will had entered the Saint Realm.

Aside from City Lord Jing, the other great cities gradually learned that the human Galaxy had challenged Evil Eye. Among the circles of experts throughout the Azure Domain, this matter had nearly completely spread.

"Investigate this human's information for me, and keep an eye on the movements on Evil Eye Domain Lord's side."

Galaxy had suddenly emerged out of nowhere, and no one had heard of him before. Yet he had directly dared challenge Evil Eye. Naturally, they wanted information about Luo Feng's background, and they naturally intended to watch the battle with Evil Eye.

Azure City.

Inside a grand hall within the City Lord's Manor, a humanoid creature sat upon a throne nine kilometers tall. Beneath his gold-and-blood-colored armor flowed black currents like black fur, carrying an eerie aura.

His head was completely concealed by those eerie black currents.

He was Evil Eye Domain Lord.

"The human Galaxy challenged me?" Evil Eye was extremely leisurely at the moment and did not take the matter to heart at all. Others had challenged him before, but unfortunately, they had either died or been enslaved. "However, my true body is still outside carrying out a mission. It will take around one epoch to return. I hope you are an uncut gem. Otherwise, you can only die. You dared provoke me—hmph."

Very soon, Evil Eye accepted the human Galaxy's challenge. However, his true body was currently outside carrying out a mission, so the challenge would be held at a chosen time one epoch later.

News that Evil Eye had accepted the challenge reached Luo Feng immediately.

"One epoch later?" Luo Feng raised his brows slightly and could not help smiling. What he lacked most right now was time. One epoch for Luo Feng meant more than ten thousand epochs. Within ten thousand epochs, his strength could probably improve somewhat further.

News that Evil Eye Domain Lord had accepted the challenge soon spread from the City Lord's Manor as well. However, since the Domain Lord's true body was currently outside carrying out a mission, the battle would be postponed until ten thousand years later.
