Swallowed Star - Chapter 1229

Chapter 1229 – Ice Cliff Fortress

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Within the life-and-death corridor of the Boat of Mausoleum, there were many towering figures. They were either plant life forms, blood and flesh life forms, or rock life forms. They bore all sorts of appearances and wore different kinds of armor and robes, of which the Divine Eye Clan, Purple Moon Holy Land, and East Emperor Holy Land were the top three strongest groups. Every single one of them possessed powers that exceeded ten universe masters combined.

There were also several other universe masters scattered about. These universe masters were at areas that were extremely close to the Flame Ice Region. Thus, they were able to rush over in the shortest time possible. They might be powerful, but they did not dare meddle with how the top three powers were dealing with human form Luo Feng.

?Poor human.?

?Unlucky fellow.?

?That human Milky Way was pretty fast in comprehending the Rhinoceros Emperor Game. Duan Dong River has made it known so directly. If the two of us are also fast in comprehending the Rhinoceros Emperor Game, will it be publicized? Or will we be mobbed??

?Even if we did decode the game, let?s hide our ability for now and not let it show in the crystal pillar. It?s not too late to show after some time, when the number of great beings in here gets bigger. By that time, our clan?s great beings will have become stronger.?

?True.?

Although they could see that Luo Feng was being besieged, they showed no trace of pity at all because deep down, they all coveted that inheritance… If Luo Feng?the most hopeful candidate for the inheritance?was out of the way, that works to their advantage.

?That loathsome bastard!?

The same moment the horned lizard?s sharp claws clashed with that huge grinder with a loud bang, its tail transformed into a dazzling arc of light with a sudden lash. Then, just like marks made by a battle blade, it slashed toward that single-eyed special life form of the Divine Eye Clan.

Although those surrounding Luo Feng at that moment belonged to the three groups of powers, not all of them were clansmen of these three groups of power. For instance, Fog Creator Master, who had been killed by Duan Dong River through the use of an activated secret technique that the stone pillars contained, was not from any of these clans. He was a special life-form.

Some top groups of powers would have subjects under their command.

For instance, the primal universe had humans. Thus, the human race formed the Hong Alliance with a couple of universe masters under its command. Say, in the future, the primal universe faced destruction… Luo Feng and all of humanity would have to enter the miniature universe. At that time, an even smaller part of their space would have to be divided out for their subjects. At least, as individuals, these universe masters were still able to continue surviving independently.

These universe masters would naturally be of a lower status compared to the people of the human race, and in situations that involved greater risks, they would be the ones sent to deal with the situations, regardless of the dangers they had to face! Of the great beings who were dealing with Luo Feng this time around, the majority were subjects of the top three groups of powers with the abilities to divide bodies. Although they were subjects, they did not fall short in terms of combat ability and were able to put up a tough fight against the toughest opponent.

Luo Feng was besieged by the seven great universe masters.

?Milky Way, you are really quite good in struggling. This armor of yours works really well… Losing that pair of silver wings, you unexpectedly gained this worthy armor. But what use could there be for you to put up a struggle? Fighting against us at full force, even if you managed to stay alive, how much effort would be left for you to commit to the Rhinoceros Emperor Game??

?Give up. It is better to back off early.?

They were at an overwhelming advantage, as Luo Feng was, after all, still weaker in terms of godly power. And even if he was not inferior in many other areas like knowledge of secret techniques, when it came to comparing godly power, he barely made it to the same level of power as the weakest one among all seven great universe masters. The moment they laid siege on him, he would have no choice but to be trampled upon; relying on his Crazy Demon Extermination Godly Armor, he was able to expand and take the form of Beast God. That was how he gained an extremely strong defense ability that allowed him to pull through all the attacks.

?This will not do.? Luo Feng was fighting at the speed of lightning whilst in the body of the single-horned lizard. He was filled with anxiety. ?This cannot go on. I need to maintain the Beast God?s existence at all times, but it is consuming too much godly power. As time drags on, too much of my godly body will be consumed. And in Universe Ocean, the rate at which my godly power replenishes is slow. Moreover, even if I am not worried about using up my godly power, to continue fighting in this manner, the efficiency of studying Rhinoceros Emperor Game will be greatly reduced. I can?t be bothered with so much.?

Luo Feng gritted his teeth.

As there was a large number of universe masters present, to the extent of two universe supreme masters amongst them. Luo Feng had not wanted to take Star Tower out. But, forced into a corner as he was now, he had no other way out. His comprehension of Rhinoceros Emperor Game was too important.

******

The besieged, single-horned lizard was fleeing helter-skelter as the seven great universe masters launched attacks brazenly. Suddenly?

Hong!

From within the single-horned lizard?s body, a crimson tower emerged, and the single-horned lizard speedily disassembled itself to enter the crimson tower. Then this crimson tower sat itself on the corridor?s ground and moved no more.

?A palace true treasure!?

?How dare you hide within your palace true treasure. You really think we have no way to deal with you??

?Foolish fellow. Hiding within a palace true treasure is actually the best way to court death.?

The seven universe masters surrounded the crimson tower and looked at what was in the middle of their circle. Then they looked at one another and started to laugh.

?Who shall make the first move??

?Who is willing to make a move??

?This is an opportunity. You should take it.?

?I think it is better for you, Wind Wolf Master, to do it. Your sealing true treasure is one of the best among the pinnacle true treasures. We will be more certain that we can seal him inside the tower.?

At that moment, within Star Tower, Luo Feng could clearly hear every word of the conversation going on outside. He was inside the control hall of Star Tower and did not dare slacken to the slightest degree. He carefully observed the outside world, listened to every sound, watched the universe masters in conversation with one another, and could not help letting out a snort of laughter.

?You all must be kidding,? he said. ?Sealing? You all are thinking of sealing me in here? Even the best out of all the pinnacle palace type true treasures… This is a sealing type supreme true treasure we are looking at. There is no possibility of sealing this type of supreme true treasure at all.?

Outside, Wind Wolf Master sneered. ?All right, leave it to me. With my treasure… he will only be able to escape my seal if his palace is also the best out of all pinnacle true treasures. Otherwise, he will not be able to escape at all… Once sealed??

Wind Wolf Master continued no more. He was worried that Duan Dong River would catch wind of their conversation and attack him.

Once sealed, there would be no chance for Luo Feng to get into contact with the crystal pillar. Therefore, there would be no chance to receive the inheritance.

Previously, two candidates who were undying godly souls were implicated and subsequently died, therefore leading to the annihilation of Fog Creator Master.

Wind Wolf Master was also worried because sealing Luo Feng within the tower would deprive Luo Feng of any chance of receiving the inheritance, which would also lead to Luo Feng being annihilated. After sealing Luo Feng, it was no big deal if Luo Feng was annihilated. However, if he had spoken too much before the sealing took place to have provoked Duan Dong River into killing him, then he would have been so wronged.

?Human!? Wind Wolf Master held out his palm, and instantly, a dazzling tri-color tower shaft appeared suspended in midair. He snorted while looking at the crimson tower. ?Seal!?

Wind Wolf Master?s godly power burned up to activate his true treasure; the next moment, the tri-color tower shaft flew over to station itself directly above crimson Star Tower. A hole appeared at the bottom of the tower shaft, and an intangible yet powerful suction energy was exerting its influence over Star Tower. It started to pull on it like crazy.

Hong! Long! Long!

The force acted strongly over Star Tower, causing Star Tower to shake slightly.

When Wind Wolf Master saw how Star Tower merely trembled slightly without even leaving the ground, he gritted his teeth and growled, ?Seal!?

?Just a little bit more.?

?Fog Creator Master, your sealing true treasure?s suction force is not enough.?

?Add a bout of power, put in your very best.?

The other six universe masters were urging him on out of anxiety.

Fog Creator Master was furious. He turned and shouted, ?I have been putting in my best since I arrived! If my power is still short of that little bit, what can I do? To be able to put up such resistance, this human?s true treasure is also a pinnacle true treasure that is one of the best. If any of you have something better, why not give it a shot??

?I?ll do it,? a hostile man with a single-eyed shadow behind him volunteered.

******

Luo Feng was looking at the outside in a relaxed manner as he thought to himself, They must be kidding if they are thinking of swallowing Star Tower without it putting up any resistance. The other party must be using a supreme true treasure to make that possible! Otherwise, if both were sealing type… is it possible for a pinnacle true treasurer be able to seal his Star Tower?

Sealing failed. Those universe masters would only think of his crimson tower as one of the best pinnacle true treasures. They would not have considered that it might be a supreme true treasure.

Seeing how the universe masters failed one after another, Luo Feng did not dare to lose vigilance. He was afraid that these guys were capable of other means on top of sealing.

******

A dozen great beings from the Divine Eye Clan, Purple Moon Holy Land, and East Emperor Holy Land had gathered here, and everyone was filled with anxiety. Earlier, the seven universe masters who had laid siege to Luo Feng had failed and had gone to the extent of borrowing true treasures from other great beings. Yet none had succeeded, even by force.

?This human has too many valuables. His armor is a treasure, and this tower true treasure, I think, is one of the best pinnacle true treasures that are hard to come by. To swallow it, I think only a supreme true treasure could achieve that.?

?True.?

?That?s right.?

?Seems like we have to turn to a universe supreme master for help.?

?Right. Only a universe supreme master would have the means to.?

?Divine Eye Clan, out of the three of us, only your clan has universe supreme masters present here.?

?We will all be looking to you to complete the task.?

Everyone was frowning, even Deer Bug Master, Shadow Dust Master, and Sorcerer Sprite Master had noticed everything that was happening.

Shadow Dust Master sent the news to Second and Seventh True Masters of Divine Eye Clan via voice transmission. Out of the various great beings, there were certainly a handful whose powers transcend them all. ?True Masters, we are at our wits? end. I think only True Masters? intervention will be able to deal with Luo Feng.?

This time around, the representatives from the Divine Eye Clan included, other than universe masters, Second True Master and Seventh True Master, who decided to join in the game. However, since the moment they had arrived, they had been silently comprehending the Rhinoceros Emperor Game without intervening in this matter. Right then, the universe masters were no longer able to find ways to deal with Luo Feng. These two true masters were their only hope, now.

?Shadow Dust, Sorcerer Sprite, we have just arrived,? Second True Master explained via voice transmission. ?However, Duan Dong River has already set the rules which forbade us to attack any other candidates. We either don?t attack at all, or we meet our doom.?

?Ah!? Shadow Witch Couple were shocked to learn of this.

At the same time, Second True Master also transmitted this news to notify the other universe masters of the top three strongest groups of powers.

?What should we do now? Do we really watch helplessly while Luo Feng receives the inheritance?? Deer Bug Master replied via voice transmission.

East Emperor Holy Land and Purple Moon Holy Land were adding to the pressure and urging on the side.

Second and Seventh True Masters looked at one another. As their gazes met, they quickly came to a decision.

?I have a palace supreme true treasure, Ice Cliff Fortress, that has the ability to seal.? Seventh True Master gritted his teeth as he transmitted this information. ?However, this supreme true treasure recognizes its master and has very stringent requirements on willpower. If a universe master were to use it… this universe master must have the willpower of a universe supreme master. All of you from the Two Holy Lands, your universe masters have lived through countless years. There are a few who have willpower that matches that of universe supreme masters. You just have to nominate one of these few and let him interact with the supreme true treasure to get it to recognize him. Then this universe master will be able to use Ice Cliff Fortress to seal Luo Feng.?

?Then who shall it be??

Purple Moon Holy Land and East Emperor Holy Land took some time to ponder this question because the great being to be sent as a representative would face a high chance of annihilation.

?Humph. The Divine Eye Clan has provided our supreme true treasure. How could it be fair to ask us to send one of us out there?? Seventh True Master transmitted his question angrily. He was also very anxious. If not, he would not have been willing to put his supreme true treasure out in the open. And he was also prepared for the moment when Luo Feng was sealed; he would seize back his supreme true treasure to prevent Duan Dong River from taking it away from him.

?All right, East Emperor Holy Land will go.?

Soon, one universe master stepped out from the crowd.

?Very well,? Seventh True Master transmitted his order. ?With a supreme true treasure, unless that human Milky Way also has a supreme true treasure, there will be no escape for him!?
