Inside the Star Tower's Sealing Space.
The Six-Armed Spear King, Tablo, had been imprisoned there as soon as he was subdued.
The Star Tower possessed God King Level Sealing Force. With only High-tier Fifth Source strength, Tablo could not move at all. His divine power was completely sealed; only his mind remained free.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng and Morosa appeared together in the Sealing Space.
At the sight of them, Tablo bared his teeth and snarled, his eyes burning with resentment. "Damn you humans! You deserve to die!"
"What's wrong? Can't beat us, so you're trying to win with words?" Luo Feng smiled mockingly.
"Hmph!" Tablo snorted. "You're just an Eternal True God, and you think you can enslave me? You don't have what it takes!"
"You'll see whether I do." Luo Feng smiled.
He pointed at Tablo from afar. A teardrop-shaped crystal flew from his fingertip, runes flowing across its surface. With a swish, it sank into Tablo's bull head. Tablo watched him with disdain, but a moment later, he blinked and froze where he stood.
Confusion and a smile mingled in his eyes...
"Father, can you see me? I've become the leader of the Tablo Tribe. You named me Tablo because you wanted me to lead it. Now I've fulfilled your hopes. I'm the leader of the Tablo Tribe—and the strongest leader in its history!"
"The deputy leader who caused your death is dead now. I killed him myself. His body is right here. Can you see it?"
Inside a vast mausoleum palace lay a huge bull-headed corpse. Tablo had brought another bull-headed corpse before it. Gazing at his father's body, he silently shed tears.
"Father, from this day on, I'll carry your hopes with me. I'll lead the Tablo Tribe to rise and flourish, until the name of Tablo echoes across the Origin Continent..."
"Wake up!"
"Wake up!"
The voice rang through Tablo's mind again and again. It was Luo Feng's voice.
The Three Star Realm guided its target toward enslavement through illusion. Tablo's will might have been Saint Realm Top-Tier, but inside the Star Tower, his divine power was completely sealed and his Supreme Treasures were suppressed. Without the protection of a soul Supreme Treasure, his will alone could not resist it.
Besides, Luo Feng's will was somewhat stronger than Tablo's. Enslaving him was well within his ability.
Tablo looked around in a daze. Then his gaze fell on Luo Feng, and a reverence rising from the depths of his soul compelled him to lower his head. "Master!"
"Hahaha... Good!" Luo Feng was overjoyed.
He had failed to capture Holy Master Yimen or Tuo Zezi, only to enslave the strongest of them all, Tablo. Even Luo Feng had not expected that.
"Master, this is where I first began following you, too." The scene felt familiar to Morosa, and he gave a guileless smile.
Luo Feng smiled and nodded.
Back in the Universe Ocean, Morosa had also been imprisoned here. Luo Feng had enslaved him with the Three Star Realm as well.
Now that he had Tablo, a Five-Origin High-Grade Saint Realm fighter, many matters would no longer require Morosa's involvement. The risk of exposing Morosa would be that much smaller.
During their clash, the Kadir brothers had completely contained the battle's disturbances and blocked attempts to investigate. The other Saint Realm fighters did not even know Tablo had come to fight, much less that he had become Luo Feng's servant. He could serve as an unexpected ally on the inside.
So Luo Feng quietly sent Tablo back to his former territory to await further word, as though none of this had happened.
Next came the Iron Fan Prince, Fan Gao. With Tablo's help, we might be able to capture Fan Gao. Fan Gao was a mobile treasury, and Luo Feng had no intention of letting him go.
But Luo Feng was in no hurry.
After several major battles and three uses of the Lie Yuan Technique in a short span, more than half his mental energy was spent. He needed time to rest and recover.
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
Today was the day to strike.
"Tablo, today we're taking the Iron Fan Prince..." Luo Feng contacted Tablo through their soul connection.
He also told Morosa, Kadir, Kakelong, and Tie Nanhe the plan.
In a stone forest on Floating Sand Island stood a magnificent palace: the residence of the Iron Fan Prince, Fan Gao.
Even on Floating Sand Island, Fan Gao enjoyed much of the treatment due a royal of Songlin Kingdom. In this temporary palace alone, he had more than a dozen servants and subordinates at the Void True God and Eternal True God levels.
Suddenly—
Spatial ripples spread outside the palace.
"Tablo, what brings you here?" Fan Gao appeared above the palace and frowned at the newly arrived Tablo.
Fan Gao had two heads, four arms, and a pair of legs. Clad in golden armor, his enormous figure resembled a god of war.
"What brings me here? To capture you, of course!" Tablo grinned.
Another spatial ripple followed. Luo Feng, Morosa, Tie Nanhe, Kadir, and Kakelong appeared.
"You've captured them?" Fan Gao glanced at Luo Feng and the others. He assumed Tablo had enslaved the Silver-Winged Human before him.
"Enough talk. Let's fight." Tablo's gaze turned cold.
Both sides unleashed their Chaos Domains.
The Kadir brothers sealed off the area to prevent anyone else from spying, while Tablo, Morosa, and Tie Nanhe charged Fan Gao together.
"Tablo, you dare!" Fan Gao roared. "Rise!"
At his command, golden light flooded the space for ten million kilometers in every direction, forming a Space Domain. Combined with his Chaos Domain, it greatly reduced the pressure from Luo Feng's side.
Four pairs of wings suddenly unfurled behind Fan Gao. With a beat of those wings, he moved at tremendous speed—only a little slower than Tablo at full power.
And he was under the suppressive restraint of five overlapping domains.
"Hmph. You think you can catch me?"
With a cold snort, Fan Gao tossed out an object. A vast white river formed, its rushing waters winding toward Tablo and Morosa like countless snakes. Caught in its coils, both of them slowed.
"Ice Prison Fire!"
Fan Gao flicked his hand again, sending a white torch flying. Its pale flames instantly spread throughout the Space Domain, and the surrounding temperature plunged. Though they were engulfed in fire, the cold was terrifying; a weaker Saint Realm fighter might have frozen to death in it.
The white river and icy flames worked perfectly together. The entire river seemed to freeze, slowing Tablo and Morosa even further.
Luo Feng stared in astonishment.
A golden Space Domain Supreme Treasure, a Winged Supreme Treasure, a river-type Domain Supreme Treasure, and an ice-fire Domain-type Supreme Treasure—in an instant, Fan Gao had brought out four immensely powerful Supreme Treasures. Luo Feng was certain that was not the full extent of his wealth. He had to have other Supreme Treasures and methods.
"Morosa, go all out!" Luo Feng's breath quickened. Fan Gao truly was a treasury. He could not let him escape.
At Luo Feng's order, terrifying Destruction Origin Power erupted from Morosa. Waves of power utterly unlike divine power surged outward, and his speed shot up. The pale icy flames and frozen water around him dissolved into nothing the moment they touched that power.
At the same time, his World Domain expanded explosively, suppressing Fan Gao's speed once more. Tablo and Morosa surged forward.
"You won't escape!" Luo Feng's voice rang out.
With a glance, he unleashed the Lie Yuan Technique and activated the Star Tower once again.
The towering Star Tower loomed above Fan Gao, adding its Sealing Domain to the pressure. Patterns across the tower stirred, and a furious Devouring Force poured from its base. Alongside it came Luo Feng's Lie Yuan Technique: a huge Divine Eye unleashed an intangible blade of will that plunged straight into Fan Gao's soul.
The curved horns on Morosa's head flashed as he launched a Soul Illusion. A streak of light shot from between them toward Fan Gao's soul.
Unless Fan Gao possessed a God King Level soul Supreme Treasure, he was bound to be injured!
"Argh!!!"
Fan Gao howled in pain. He could no longer keep his fleeing body steady and was dragged toward the Star Tower.
At High-tier Fourth Source, he was far weaker than Tablo. His strength had been built up with Supreme Treasures, but against overwhelming power, it was not enough.
"No!" Fan Gao drove his Saint level soul Supreme Treasure to its limit to protect himself. But under the Soul Illusion and Will Secret Technique, he could bring less than a tenth of his strength to bear. He could not resist the Star Tower's pull.
The restraining forces of Morosa's, Tablo's, Kadir's, and Kakelong's domains turned into a crushing push, driving Fan Gao toward the tower's base.
"Get in there!"
Luo Feng burned his divine power to its limit and poured everything into the first layer of the Star Tower's secret patterns. The Devouring Force at its base surged.
"Damn it!"
"Bastards!"
Fan Gao could barely remain conscious. He struggled without pause, but was swiftly drawn into the Star Tower.
Once Fan Gao was sealed away, the Star Tower rapidly shrank and flew back into Luo Feng's body.
"Phew!"
"Fan Gao was a tough one to catch. No wonder even Tablo couldn't do anything to him." Luo Feng took a deep breath. Fan Gao had several Domain-type Supreme Treasures alone. Without the Lie Yuan Technique combined with Morosa's Soul Illusion, they probably could not have captured him.
