Chapter 448: Imminent Metamorphosis
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Divine Palace of Bemond had a special Metamorphosis Area.
The so-called Metamorphosis Area was actually a venue specially used for life transitions for the cultivators of the Divine Palace. Although it was called a venue, it was located in the cosmos and very vast, and could accommodate up to six life transitions.
Of course, if they underwent seven life transitions, they would become an advanced planetary lifeform, which was about the size of a star. Then, there would no longer be any venues that could satisfy them, and they could only undergo metamorphosis in the universe.
The Metamorphosis Area was not limited by districts. Be it the upper or lower district, as long as one was confident in undergoing life transition, they could come to this venue.
Hence, this was also the only place of overlap between the three major districts of the Divine Palace. Disciples from the middle district could often be seen metamorphosing into planetary lifeforms here.
Although there were no limitation in districts, almost no disciples from the upper district came. After all, the disciples of the upper district were basically all planetary lifeforms. If they underwent life transition again, they could only metamorphose into advanced planetary lifeforms, and would not come to the Metamorphosis Area.
However, a special disciple had come to the Metamorphosis Area today.
When Lin Feng arrived at the Metamorphosis Area, he realized that there were quite a lot of people in the Metamorphosis Area today. Most of them were disciples of the middle district.
"Montari will definitely be able to undergo six life transitions and advance to the upper district."
"I think Antes has more opportunities. There seems to be a bet between the two. Haha, let's see who can undergo six life transitions first and advance to the upper district."
"These two are the most popular top-notch geniuses in the middle district at the moment."
The Metamorphosis Area was so lively because two disciples from the middle district were preparing to undergo metamorphosis at the same time. This was rather rare. Hence, it attracted many disciples, and even some disciples from the lower district.
Montari and Antes also kept a distance from each other, but there was an obvious fighting spirit in their eyes. The "tension" between the two also affected the others in the metamorphosis area.
Originally, there were still many people who wanted to complete their life transitions in the metamorphosis area. However, when they saw the "violent atmosphere" between Montari and Antes, they could not help but stop in their tracks. They did not want to cause trouble.
Moreover, both of them were undergoing the sixth life transition. Once they succeeded, there was no knowing how much star power they would "snatch". The gains simply did not make up for the losses. Hence, the huge Metamorphosis Area became the "private grounds" of Montari and Antes.
This was the situation when Lin Feng arrived at the Metamorphosis Area. He frowned slightly, but ignored Montari and Antes. He walked straight into the Metamorphosis Area, closed his eyes, and adjusted his condition.
Seeing that another person had abruptly appeared in the Metamorphosis Area, Montari and Antes both frowned slightly. However, the Metamorphosis Area was not a private place. Even if they were geniuses of the middle district, they did not have the right to monopolize the Metamorphosis Area.
However, they felt a little uncomfortable, as if Lin Feng did not "know the rules".
"This person looks so familiar. Where have I seen him before?"
"He does look quite familiar, but I've never seen this person in the middle district."
"He has undergone five life transitions, right? He also wants to metamorphose into a planetary lifeform?"
"He should have waited a little longer. Otherwise, when Montari and Antes successfully metamorphosed and seized a large amount of star power, the gains would not make up for the losses."
These people discussed spiritedly. Although they found Lin Feng very familiar, they could not remember him.
Actually, this was very normal. Since Lin Feng came to the Divine Palace, he had entered the middle district directly. However, he lived in seclusion in the middle district, and was promoted to the upper district in a very short period of time.
Even in the upper district, Lin Feng also lived in seclusion. Very few people knew Lin Feng.
"No, I remember now. He's Lin Feng!"
"Who is Lin Feng?"
"How ignorant. Have you forgotten the genius seed disciple in the middle district, who was made an exception and promoted to the upper district some time ago?"
"Huh? It's him, Lin Feng! It seems to be him. I heard that he was made an exception and promoted to the upper district. He's the only disciple below the planetary level in the upper district. He's undergone five life transitions. Is he going to undergo the six life transition?"
"So he's a core disciple of the upper district. He actually came to the Metamorphosis Area too. This is rather rare."
"This is going to be interesting. There are three top geniuses, and one of them is a core disciple of the upper district. If they all succeed in metamorphosing, it will definitely be very interesting to see their combat bodies compete for star power. The better and inferior ones would be obvious at a glance!"
Many people came to a realization. After learning Lin Feng's identity, they found it even more dramatic.
Montari and Antes naturally heard the others' discussions. The two of them looked at each other, their expressions slightly solemn.
A long time ago, they were the top geniuses in the middle district, and were reputed to be the disciples with the greatest hope of advancing to the upper district. However, after Lin Feng's arrival, it only took a few months for him to advance to the upper district, and as an exception.
This could not help but make them a little unhappy, but at the same time, they were also a little indignant. They had originally wanted to wait until they had advanced to the upper district before competing with Lin Feng. They did not expect that the three of them were actually on the same starting line now, and were all about to undergo metamorphosis.
Montari and Antes' fighting spirit also became stronger. They must succeed in this metamorphosis!
Compared to the turmoil in the hearts of Montari and Antes, Lin Feng's heart was very calm, and there was not a trace of fluctuation in his emotions. Lin Feng did not pay attention to either Montari or Antes. He did not even know them.
As for being competitive? He had better things to do. His vision had already exceeded mere planetary lifeforms. Moreover, they had not even reached the level of planetary lifeforms.
Everything was ready. Lin Feng's emotions were also adjusted to their peak. At this moment, with a thought, he suddenly deployed his combat body.
How stunning was a 1,200-kilometer combat body?
Lin Feng used the Tidal Combat Body. After all, he was most familiar with the Tidal Combat Body. As long as the life transition was successful, no matter what kind of combat body it was, it would actually be a successful transition altogether.
Montari and Antes also deployed their combat bodies one after another. However, when they saw Lin Feng's combat body, they fell completely silent. It was not just Montari and Antes. All the cultivators in the Metamorphosis Area fell silent.
Montari and Antes could be considered the cream of the crop in the middle district. After five life transitions, Montari's combat body had reached 336 kilometers. Antes was slightly stronger, but only reached 340 kilometers.
The two of them could already be considered top geniuses in the middle district. In the past, the two of them were also proud of it.
But now? Looking at Lin Feng's massive and suffocating combat body, their combat bodies of more than 300 kilometers were nothing compared to Lin Feng's Tidal Combat Body.
"Didn't they say that Lin Feng was made an exception and advanced to the upper district through his comprehension of Laws, but his aptitude in combat body is mediocre? Is this considered mediocre?"
Some disciples who "knew about" Lin Feng could not help but gasp, their faces filled with shock.

Chapter 449: Six Life Transitions
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Originally, I thought that he was fast to be on the same starting line as us, but now…"
Montari smiled wanly and shook his head. Was this the same starting line?
Lin Feng had long left them in the dust. The two parties were not on the same level at all. Looking at that massive combat body, it must have exceeded 1,000 kilometers. They had almost never heard of someone who could condense a combat body of more than 1,000 kilometers after five life transitions.
In the history of the Divine Palace of Bemond, such a massive combat body had never appeared with five life transitions. Just this point alone allowed Lin Feng to create the record of the Divine Palace, and make its history.
Montari and Antes were only slightly distracted, but to be able to cultivate to their current level, their will was also considerably strong. They were only disappointed for a moment before adjusting their emotions.
No matter how strong Lin Feng was, their only opponent now was themselves. Their final goal was to undergo six life transitions and become a planetary lifeform.
Hence, Montari and Antes began their life transitions at the same time.
Rumble.
Their combat bodies expanded wildly. At this moment, they gathered their strongest conviction. They firmly believed that they would definitely be able to succeed in life transition.
Unlike Lin Feng, they were only 30% confident in life transitions. Hence, they relied more on determination and some luck.
The two of them had suffered some stimulation today, but it had actually made their wills even stronger. As they unleashed their combat bodies, every cell in their bodies seemed to be cheering.
In the next moment, the cells in their bodies divided wildly, and their combat bodies expanded wildly.
"Success!"
Seeing that both their combat bodies were expanding rapidly, everyone knew that the two of them had succeeded. Two more planetary lifeforms had appeared at once. Such a grand occasion could only be seen in the Divine Palace of Bemond.
It had to be known that there were countless planets and civilizations in the Bemond Galaxy. How many planets and civilizations could give birth to planetary lifeforms? They could be counted on one hand!
Every planetary lifeform could be considered great! Once a planetary lifeform was born in a civilization, this civilization, be it a cultivator civilization or a technological civilization, was destined to become a cosmic civilization!
Their combat bodies were still expanding and absorbing a large amount of star power. There was not much of a difference. They were basically evenly matched, and neither could suppress the other.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng also opened his eyes. His 1,200-kilometer combat body had already been coiled to the extreme. In the next moment, Lin Feng did not need to unleash any powerful will. As the conditions were met, his combat body began to expand naturally.
Rumble.
Lin Feng's combat body also began to expand, and it was even wilder than Montari and Antes. Almost every second, his cells would divide into countless ones.
The speed of division was too fast, so fast that he felt as if his body was tearing apart. There was a faint pain from the depths of their very soul.
Lin Feng knew that this was a necessary experience for life transitions. This was the case even for natural life transitions with a consummate combat body, and was especially the case for six life transitions. This was a huge improvement, an improvement in the essence of life, and a qualitative leap.
From five life transitions to six life transitions, it was basically a hundredfold improvement!
For example, Montari and Antes were top geniuses in the middle district, and their talent was not much inferior to Raymond's. Hence, in the end, their combat bodies would definitely be able to expand to more than 20,000 kilometers.
As for Lin Feng, even Lin Feng himself did not know how much his final combat body could expand. This was because he no longer had any experience that his predecessors could refer to.
Having a combat body of 1,200 kilometers with five life transitions was unheard of.
Montari and Antes wanted to undergo a life transition before Lin Feng, but as Lin Feng's life transition and his combat body expanded wildly, at least 80% of the star power in the metamorphosis area was actually swept away by Lin Feng at once!
In other words, only about 20% of the star power was left for Montari and Antes. This could not help but make the two of them regret it. Why did they have to undergo a life transition at the same time as Lin Feng?
The two of them had long given up on competing with Lin Feng, but they could no longer stop. They could only absorb about 20% of the star power, which actually had a certain impact on condensing the planetary combat body.
They had never made preparations. After all, such a situation was really rare. Often, even if three or four cultivators advanced to planetary lifeforms, there would not be a situation where the star power was insufficient.
However, they happened to encounter Lin Feng. Actually, it could have been worse, because Lin Feng at least restrained himself and left 20% of the star power for Montari and Antes. Otherwise, he could have devoured all the star power in the Metamorphosis Area.
The speed at which his combat body expanded was too fast. In the blink of an eye, it had already exceeded 20,000 kilometers, far surpassing Montari and Antes. From afar, Lin Feng's combat body was like a black hole, devouring a large amount of star power in a frenzy.
Even so, Lin Feng enjoyed 80% of the star power in the Metamorphosis area Alone. However, he still felt that every cell in his body seemed to be very "thirsty", and the star power was completely insufficient.
If this continued, it would also affect Lin Feng's combat body.
Fortunately, Lin Feng was prepared. Or rather, Divine King Bemond had already expected all of this.
Lin Feng flipped his palm, and a small bottle appeared in his palm. There was a crystalline drop of liquid inside. It was the reward Lin Feng had obtained, the cosmic elixir!
Crunch.
The porcelain bottle shattered, and the drop of cosmic elixir floated in the void. Lin Feng made a grabbing motion, and the cosmic elixir was enveloped by countless cells and absorbed by his body.
Boom.
When the cosmic elixir entered his body, it was as if an energy sphere had exploded. Lin Feng's entire body was trembling. Countless cells seemed to have been starved for billions of years, devouring the terrifying power erupting from the cosmic elixir in a frenzy.
Even Lin Feng was stunned. This tiny drop of cosmic elixir looked like a drop of water. It was inconspicuous, but it contained a terrifying energy that made him tremble.
The energy that erupted at this moment shocked even Lin Feng.
However, as the energy continued to enter his body, the speed at which Lin Feng's combat body expanded increased again. Moreover, the divided cells devoured a large amount of energy and filled the cells in the shortest period of time.
At this moment, Lin Feng had a special feeling, as if he had never been stronger. He was improving at an indescribable speed at every moment.
Twenty thousand kilometers, thirty thousand kilometers, forty thousand kilometers, fifty thousand kilometers…
As Lin Feng's combat body expanded, everyone in the Metamorphosis Area, including Montari and Antes, went from being shocked at first, gradually becoming numb, to being silent now.
They could no longer describe the shock in their hearts with words. They could only look up at that incomparably huge body, which seemed to be still metamorphosing towards a level unimaginable to them.

Chapter 450: Making History
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Feng was really glad that Divine King Bemond could reward him with a drop of cosmic elixir. Otherwise, his metamorphosis would not have gone so smoothly now. There was no knowing how long it would take for him to successfully undergo metamorphosis just by relying on this star power.
Moreover, how could star power have such a miraculous effect as the cosmic elixir?
Lin Feng's cells divided at least a few times in an instant. Then, the newly divided cells were instantly replenished by the cosmic elixir, and could continue to divide.
Such frequent division without any damage was the effect of the cosmic elixir. Moreover, the energy of this tiny drop of cosmic elixir was unimaginable.
At the very least, Lin Feng's combat body had already reached 50,000 kilometers, but it still showed no signs of waning.
With the support of the Cosmic Origin Fluid, the speed at which Lin Feng's combat body expanded did not decrease.
Fifty thousand kilometers, sixty thousand kilometers, seventy thousand kilometers, eighty thousand kilometers…
In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng's combat body had already expanded to 100,000 kilometers. This was 100,000 kilometers. Among elementary planetary lifeforms, who could reach 100,000 kilometers in their combat body?
Even if there were, there were definitely very few of them in the entire universe.
In the Divine Palace of Bemond, Lin Feng was the only one who had a combat body of over 100,000 kilometers long when he became an elementary planetary lifeform.
How terrifying was a 100,000-kilometer combat body? Ordinary planets only had a diameter of over 10,000 kilometers, but Lin Feng's combat body alone had reached 100,000 kilometers, and it was not over yet. It was still expanding.
With his current massive combat body, he could blast a planet apart with a light palm strike, and traverse infinite distances with a casual move. This was a planetary lifeform, an advanced lifeform in the universe, no longer a lesser lifeform.
They truly had the ability to travel the universe and deal with all kinds of cosmic catastrophes.
A hundred thousand kilometers was not the end. This was because Lin Feng had the cosmic elixir and an adequate energy supply. Hence, the massive amount of energy required for six life transitions was not a problem for Lin Feng at all.
His combat body was still expanding, from 100,000 kilometers to 130,000 kilometers, before stopping at about 140,000 kilometers.
This was Lin Feng's final combat body. The 140,000-kilometer combat body alarmed everyone, be it the upper or middle districts.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Many core disciples of the upper district who received the news also rushed to the Metamorphosis Area.
Every disciple of the upper district was undoubtedly a major figure, and had a pivotal position in the Divine Palace. Not only did elementary planetary lifeforms arrive, advanced planetary lifeforms also arrived.
Originally, giving birth to three planetary lifeforms at once was very rare, even in the Divine Palace of Bemond. It was a grand occasion. However, neither Montari nor Antis were happy about the success of their metamorphosis. In front of Lin Feng, they had completely become "side characters". In the eyes of those high and mighty figures of the upper district, the two of them were unnoticeable.
The two of them smiled weakly. They had already completed their metamorphosis, so they did not have to stay in the Metamorphosis Area anymore.
When Raymond rushed to the Metamorphosis Area, he was also very shocked to see Lin Feng's massive combat body.
"A 140,000-kilometer combat body. How is that possible?"
It was normal for Raymond to be so shocked. All the core disciples of the upper district were shocked.
It was not long ago when they heard that a disciple with very strong comprehension of Laws had been made an exception and promoted to the upper district. How did he become a planetary lifeform in the blink of an eye?
Moreover, he was more outstanding than any disciple of the upper district. With a combat body of 140,000 kilometers, if he could take another step forward and become an advanced planetary lifeform, how terrifying would that be?
Even his current combat body alone was enough for Lin Feng to sweep through opponents at the same level. Moreover, Lin Feng had comprehended planetary Laws. Even Raymond probably did not dare to underestimate his current overall strength.
"Looks like I made the right choice by gifting that star bloom to him!"
Although Raymond was very shocked, he was also very happy. Back when he invited Lin Feng to team up, he was originally worried that Lin Feng was not strong enough and would not be of much use.
But now, Lin Feng had finally transformed into a planetary lifeform, and he was absurdly strong, far surpassing his expectations. This was a joyous occasion.
With Lin Feng, perhaps they could obtain even greater gains during the Big Bang!
Only as more and more people rushed to the Metamorphosis Area did Lin Feng's name spread throughout the entire Divine Palace of Bemond. Even in the upper district, Lin Feng's name was widespread.
He had created the history and record of the Divine Palace. Just this point alone made Lin Feng surpass most of the disciples in the upper district.
As Lin Feng's metamorphosis ended, he felt that his body was filled with unimaginable power. He had never felt so powerful. Lin Feng felt that even the annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction he used back then seemed to be inferior to his current combat body.
A hundred and forty thousand kilometers. Lin Feng also knew how impactful this number was!
However, Lin Feng did not forget that Divine King Bemond had also contributed to this. If not for Divine King Bemond's cosmic elixir, perhaps Lin Feng would be lucky if he could reach 100,000 kilometers in this metamorphosis.
How could he possibly condense a super combat body of 140,000 kilometers?
The cosmic elixir in Lin Feng's body was actually not used up yet. The remaining power was stored in his body. In the future, Lin Feng's combat body might be able to improve again. Then, the remaining energy in the cosmic elixir would still be of critical use.
As the news spread, more and more people came to the Metamorphosis Area. Countless people from the upper, middle, and lower districts came to witness Lin Feng's glory.
Even the disciples of those advanced planetary lifeforms in the Divine Palace did not receive such treatment.
After Lin Feng sensed that his combat body had completely stabilized, he retracted his combat body and returned to his normal size. Lin Feng could not even grasp the basics of the planetary combat body now. He still needed to study it in depth in the future, but clearly, now was not the time.
"Your Highness, congratulations."
"Congratulations, Your Highness Lin Feng."
"Your Highness Lin Feng is indeed worthy of being a genius promoted by His Majesty the Divine King in exception. Few people can match this talent."
As Lin Feng left the Metamorphosis Area, many people congratulated Lin Feng.
Raymond also smiled and said, "Your Highness Lin Feng, you've really given me a huge surprise."
"Your Highness Raymond, I have to thank you for that star bloom. Otherwise, I wouldn't have succeeded in my metamorphosis so quickly."
This was the truth for Lin Feng. Without Raymond's star bloom, Lin Feng would not have known that miraculous items could be so helpful to the combat body. Then, he still would not have reached the consummate combat body now, and would not even have a direction, let alone successfully metamorphose into a planetary lifeform.
"There's no need to thank me. This is all due to Your Highness Lin Feng's outstanding talent." Raymond said seriously.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flew over from afar. He smiled at Lin Feng and said, "Your Highness Lin Feng, His Majesty the Divine King requests your presence."
"Your Majesty!"
Many people's hearts skipped a beat, but at the same time, they were also very envious. Being summoned by His Majesty the Divine King must mean that His Majesty valued him. Lin Feng's future prospects were already limitless.

Chapter 451: Summons of the Divine King
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Lin Feng arrived at the Divine King Palace, he saw the avatar of Divine King Bemond again.
Actually, with Lin Feng's current strength, he could also create an avatar. At most, it would have more cells and be slightly weaker, but it would be a genuine avatar.
This was an ability of every planetary lifeform.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Although Divine King Bemond was the master of all the disciples of the Divine Palace in name, everyone addressed him respectfully as His Majesty the Divine King. Almost no one really called him Master.
Divine King Bemond turned around and saw Lin Feng. A gratified smile appeared on his face. "Not bad, not bad. Looks like my drop of cosmic elixir wasn't wasted."
"It's all thanks to Your Majesty the Divine King's drop of cosmic elixir. Otherwise, I don't know how many more detours I would have taken."
Lin Feng was sincerely grateful to Divine King Bemond.
"You deserve all of that. Back then, I planted countless seeds, but there are only a handful who can truly return. You are one of them, and you are far more outstanding than the other seed disciples. You condensed a consummate combat body, right?"
Lin Feng was shocked. Divine King Bemond had indeed guessed it. Since Divine King Bemond had guessed it, he had nothing to hide. He nodded and said, "I did cultivate my combat body to the consummate state before metamorphosing into a planetary lifeform."
"Well done. The consummate combat body… Ever since I established the Divine Palace of Bemond, no one has been able to cultivate the consummate combat body. You're the first! However, since you've already embarked on the path of the strongest, I hope you won't be complacent. Being a planetary lifeform is just the first step. Your starting point is just slightly higher than others. The path of consummation is destined to be very difficult. Back then, I also became a planetary lifeform with the consummate combat body. Unfortunately, I was one step behind. After I transformed into a planetary lifeform, I never managed to cultivate the consummate combat body again, causing me to linger at the galactic level for billions of years until now. I hope you won't make the same mistake I did."
It turned out that Divine King Bemond had also cultivated the path of consummation back then, and condensed the consummate combat body, metamorphosing into a planetary lifeform with it.
No wonder Divine King Bemond could become a powerful Divine King, one of the top experts of the entire universe. It turned out that Divine King Bemond was not inferior to Lin Feng at all back then.
As expected, every great lifeform that could stand at the peak had its own unique strengths. Lin Feng's little achievements were nothing compared to those peak lifeforms.
In the path of consummation, even if one became a planetary lifeform, they still had to work hard to attain consummation. Otherwise, one mistake would lead to more mistakes. In the future, when they reached the level of Divine King Bemond, it would be too late for regrets.
This was guidance on cultivation, and it was guidance from Divine King Bemond himself. It was very rare. In name, the disciples of the upper district of the Divine Palace were all core disciples, and disciples who were the focus of nurture by Divine King Bemond.
However, in reality, the number of disciples that Divine King Bemond had personally guided over the long years could be counted on one hand. Being able to receive personal guidance from Divine King Bemond was envied by countless people.
"Since you've embarked on the path of consummation, your future path will be filled with many dangers. If I don't give you some major gifts, I'm afraid those old fellows will laugh about it too."
Divine King Bemond's figure flashed. Lin Feng did not even have the slightest ability to resist before he arrived in the universe. He saw Divine King Bemond's extremely terrifying true form again. It was the size of a galaxy. Before such a massive body, Lin Feng was as insignificant as a grain of sand.
Lin Feng did not know how massive Divine King Bemond's body was, but he knew that Divine King Bemond's body was comparable to a galaxy. And a galaxy, even a very ordinary galaxy, had a diameter of about 100,000 light-years.
A light-year was about 9,400 billion kilometers. As for Lin Feng's current combat body? It was only 140,000 kilometers, not even a fraction of a light-year, let alone comparable to Divine King Bemond, who had a body of hundreds of thousands of light-years.
The difference between the two was like the stars in the sky and the ants on the ground. He could not even be considered an ant, and was only dust.
"This true form is too inconvenient. I'd better deploy my avatar."
Divine King Bemond's massive body began to emit waves of light. Then, countless cells began to condense into a new figure. This figure was a new incarnation. It had more than one cell, and was much stronger.
"Go!"
Divine King Bemond led Lin Feng directly into the spatial passage and teleported to an unfamiliar cosmos.
"Your Majesty, where are we going?"
Lin Feng was very curious, not knowing where Divine King Bemond was taking him.
"You'll know when we arrive. It's very inconvenient for the true form to move in the galaxy. Otherwise, we would have arrived long ago."
Divine King Bemond actually thought it was too slow. Lin Feng was a little speechless. If Divine King Bemond moved in his true form, even the Bemond Galaxy would not be able to withstand it. After all, Divine King Bemond's true form was the size of a galaxy. A casual move from him could destroy a galaxy.
Hence, he could only use his avatar to move in the galaxy.
Divine King Bemond could not warp space either. Without spatial innate ability, only universal lifeforms could forcefully tear space and warp space.
Lin Feng followed Divine King Bemond silently. Divine King Bemond was simply too fast just by flying. He was even faster than spaceships. In the blink of an eye, he had already flown very far.
However, Lin Feng felt that it looked a little familiar. He seemed to have seen the cosmos here before.
"This… This is a territorial planet of the Matrix civilization?"
Lin Feng remembered. Wasn't this the planet leader of the Matrix civilization he had been to before?
Soon, Lin Feng saw a terrifying black hole that was expanding wildly, devouring everything in the universe.
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. He recognized it. Wasn't this black hole the black hole that the Matrix civilization had once wanted to capture? However, the size of this black hole seemed to have increased significantly since Lin Feng left.
If this continued, the black hole would expand faster and faster. At that time, even the Matrix civilization would be in danger, and even the entire Bemond Galaxy.
Lin Feng reported this situation to the Divine Palace, but the Divine Palace clearly had not been able to deal with it.
Was Divine King Bemond bringing Lin Feng to this black hole to deal with it?
"A black hole. It devours all energy and all celestial bodies. It appears to be the end of everything, but who would know that it is actually the beginning of everything, too?"
Divine King Bemond sighed deeply. Lin Feng did not know what he meant.
"If this black hole continues to expand, it will devour the entire Bemond Galaxy sooner or later. It cannot be destroyed. The only way is to seal it! Slowly release its energy. When its energy is exhausted, the black hole will naturally disappear."
Divine King Bemond's expression was solemn, but his tone was very calm. Instead, he seemed to be deliberately demonstrating something in front of Lin Feng.
Lin Feng suddenly recalled that Divine King Bemond had mentioned a major gift for him. Could it be related to the black hole?

Chapter 452: Undying and Imperishable
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This black hole was so huge that even Lin Feng could feel the suction force of the black hole from afar. Back then, Lin Feng was in imminent danger. Hence, he had a deep impression of this black hole.
"Watch carefully!"
Divine King Bemond suddenly used his combat body. Although this was only a portion of his avatar, this portion alone had already far exceeded an ultimate planetary lifeform.
His combat body was incomparably massive, and finally expanded to a size larger than a black hole. Then, he extended his hands and struck at the huge black hole.
Boom.
An incredible scene appeared. In Lin Feng's eyes, Divine King Bemond's two huge palms actually pressed together from both sides, sandwiching the black hole in the middle.
It was as if the terrifying suction force of the black hole was useless against Divine King Bemond.
As the two palms pressed together, the incomparably huge black hole actually continued to keep compressing. When the two palms completely closed, the black hole seemed to have become a sheet of "paper", but it still emitted traces of black light.
"That's…"
Lin Feng was very shocked. That was a black hole, a terrifying black hole that could devour stars. It had actually become a tiny "paper sheet" in the hands of Divine King Bemond. This was simply unbelievable.
A great galactic lifeform had already exceeded Lin Feng's understanding.
After turning the black hole into a tiny "paper sheet", Divine King Bemond took out a transparent pearl the size of a longan. Then, a trace of light emitted from the pearl, and the "paper" transformed from the black hole fused into the pearl.
"Lin Feng, this is my major gift for you."
Divine King Bemond tossed the pearl directly to Lin Feng, which surprised Lin Feng. There was a black hole sealed in this small pearl? No matter how he looked at it, it was shocking.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
"An Origin Weapon!"
Lin Feng was stunned. This was an Origin Weapon?
He also had an Origin Weapon himself. For example, the Spear of Destruction was a genuine Origin Weapon. However, he knew that refining an Origin Weapon was very difficult and troublesome. But how did Divine King Bemond seem to have refined an Origin Weapon so easily?
Moreover, this Origin Weapon seemed to be shockingly powerful.
"Lin Feng, Origin Weapons are also divided into many types. For example, the Origin Weapon on your body is actually just the most basic Origin Weapon. As for the Origin Weapon I just refined, a black hole is sealed within. Moreover, this black hole is very strong. Once the power of this Origin Weapon is activated, it can practically unleash the power of an ultimate planetary lifeform."
"Origin Weapons are all consumables. Once the energy inside is depleted, it will be very difficult to replenish it. After all, such a huge black hole can only be chanced upon by luck. Consider it as a gift and bring it with you."
It had power equivalent to an ultimate planetary lifeform. Lin Feng fell silent, but a storm was brewing in his heart. It was just too powerful. It felt as if he was learning about the Divine King Bemond for the first time.
He could casually refine a black hole into an Origin Weapon. Even Lin Feng, who had become a planetary lifeform now, could not understand such a method, realm, and power.
Perhaps black holes were very terrifying in the eyes of planetary lifeforms. Even an ultimate planetary lifeform could only keep themselves unaffected against such a huge black hole.
However, in the eyes of a great galactic lifeform like Divine King Bemond, it was a rare commodity, an excellent material for refining Origin Weapons, and one that could only be chanced upon by luck.
With this Origin Weapon personally refined by Divine King Bemond, Lin Feng would indeed have a huge guarantee of safety when traveling the universe in the future.
"Thank you for the precious gift, Your Majesty!"
Lin Feng's tone was excited, and he was very grateful.
"Haha, if you can become the second galactic lifeform in my Divine Palace of Bemond in the future, that will be the greatest repayment to me!"
"Galactic lifeform…"
Lin Feng could only smile weakly. So Divine King Bemond actually had such high hopes for him.
A galactic lifeform—even Lin Feng had never thought of it at the moment.
The Divine Palace of Bemond had been established for so long. The Bemond Galaxy could be considered a place of many talents. Many ultimate planetary lifeforms had been born, but what about galactic lifeforms? Divine King Bemond was still the only one.
It was obvious just how difficult it was to become a galactic lifeform.
After dealing with the black hole, Divine King Bemond brought Lin Feng back to the Divine Palace. Lin Feng returned to his residence alone, only to realize that people were coming to visit one after another.
Those who were qualified to visit were all core disciples of the upper district, and most of them were advanced planetary lifeforms. Some of them even wanted to invite Lin Feng to participate in the Big Bang together.
They promised all kinds of benefits, However, Lin Feng already had an agreement with Raymond. He would have to disappoint these people.
Fortunately, after a period of time, such visits became fewer and fewer, and finally disappeared completely. Lin Feng also heaved a sigh of relief. Although he was a little impatient, such socializing was necessary.
This was because only from this moment on could Lin Feng be considered to have integrated into the upper district, and truly become a member of it.
After Lin Feng went through a busy period of time, his life returned to normal.
During this period of time, he was busy socializing, so he did not learn much about his combat body, and did not master many of his abilities. Now, he could focus and slowly master them.
First was the matter of the avatar. Lin Feng had tried transforming a cell into an avatar before, but he had failed.
His mental power was sufficient, but the energy in the cell was too little, and there seemed to be something missing. Even Lin Feng could not tell what it was. Now that he had become a planetary lifeform, he could give it a try.
"Go!"
Lin Feng extended his hand. A cell split from his body and landed on the ground.
With Lin Feng's current strength, even if it was just a cell, how terrifying was the energy contained within?
The cells expanded at a visible speed, and gradually took shape, turning into the size of a normal person. They looked identical to Lin Feng, with almost no difference.
Lin Feng found it very miraculous. How should he put it? The avatar in front of him seemed to have the same thoughts as him, but if he wanted to control it, he needed to divert a portion of his mental power to control it, just like commanding his own hand.
However, if the connection was severed, the other party seemed to be able to exist independently. Their thinking patterns, thoughts, and so on all took after Lin Feng.
This kind of avatar was most suitable for guarding a region.
Most planetary lifeforms could not possibly stay and guard a region. They would send an avatar to guard their civilization or planet, and then travel around with their actual bodies.
When they returned to the planet, they could control their avatar to return to their body and condense new avatars. As for the consciousness, thoughts, and various experiences of the avatars during this period of time, none of them was a problem. They were ultimately avatars, and were no different from the main body.
Had there ever been avatars that tried to become the main body, and replace the host?
Actually, Lin Feng had investigated it before as well. There was no such possibility at all. The avatar was completely powerless to resist before the true form. Moreover, it could not harbor any malicious intent towards the true form.
On the contrary, if an avatar was left behind, and the true form died, the avatar would continue to exist. It was just that the avatar would always be only an avatar, unable to cultivate or improve. It would always remain in the state of an avatar.
However, that was also another form of life. Hence, in a sense, only by becoming a planetary lifeform could one be considered undying and imperishable!

Chapter 453: Avatar
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"From now on, you are Lin Feng!"
"No, I'm an avatar. The avatar is Lin Feng, but Lin Feng is not the avatar!"
Even though it was a little awkward, Lin Feng understood. Moreover, how should he describe the conversation between him and his avatar? It was a little strange. It was as if Lin Feng knew what his avatar wanted to say when he spoke to him, and it even came from his own intent.
However, it was very different from talking to himself. In short, even Lin Feng was not quite used to it.
Lin Feng sensed the power in the avatar, but was not too satisfied.
"Weak. Too weak."
This was just an avatar formed from a single cell. Its strength could not even compare to that of an ordinary person, let alone a being with one life transition. However, this was not a problem for Lin Feng. He continued to divide the cells, fusing them into the avatar one after another.
After fusing dozens of cells, the power of the avatar finally reached the level of one life transition.
Compared to the avatar from a single cell of Divine King Bemond, the difference was simply too great.
Of course, Lin Feng could still continue to fuse the cells and increase the strength of the avatar. However, this would also affect the original body, because the separated part was permanently separated.
For example, Lin Feng now had a 140,000-kilometer combat body. If he separated a combat body that was 40,000 kilometers in size, his original combat body would become 100,000 kilometers.
The combat bodies of ordinary planetary lifeforms could reach 10,000 kilometers. As for planetary lifeforms above 20,000 kilometers, they were already considered relatively powerful.
Lin Feng's combat body was too strong. Even if he separated a combat body of 20,000 kilometers, it would be harmless and would not affect Lin Feng's combat power much.
Originally, Lin Feng was still worried about the safety of his home planet. However, now that he had an avatar, he could separate at least 20,000 kilometers of his combat body to form an avatar. It was equivalent to having a planetary lifeform protecting his home planet and family at all times.
This was the safest and best of both worlds. After all, Lin Feng could not possibly stay on his home planet forever. He still needed to travel and continue cultivating. Having an avatar to accompany his family on his home planet was actually no different from his true self.
However, this posed a slight problem with cultivation for Lin Feng. If he still wanted to cultivate the consummate combat body, he would have to fuse his avatars. Only then would he truly attain consummation.
Otherwise, it would not become a true consummate combat body and continued to undergo metamorphosis.
Of course, avatars were not that important to ordinary planetary lifeforms. They did not need consummate combat bodies.
Up until now, Lin Feng had not even cultivated for 50 years, and he had become a planetary lifeform. He was considered a very rare top-notch genius even in the scope of the vast universe.
Coupled with the enhancement of Laws, his combat power would increase to an unimaginable level. At the very least, he would have no problem sweeping through elementary planetary lifeforms.
Lin Feng might not even be inferior to advanced planetary lifeforms. After all, his combat body had already reached 140,000 kilometers. If his Laws enhanced it by another hundredfold, it would be at least equivalent to a combat body of 14 million kilometers.
How terrifying was this?
The combat body of ordinary advanced planetary lifeforms was equivalent to a star. Under normal circumstances, the combat bodies of those advanced planetary lifeforms were also above a million kilometers.
With the enhancement of Laws, Lin Feng's combat body was almost comparable to a combat body of more than 10 million kilometers, comparable to most advanced planetary lifeforms.
Most advanced planetary lifeforms had combat bodies of more than a million kilometers. However, like stars, which were divided into small stars and extremely huge stars, the difference between combat bodies could also even be worlds apart.
There were also many advanced planetary lifeforms that had combat bodies which had reached tens of millions of kilometers.
Lin Feng could be considered to have preliminary combat power of an advanced planetary lifeform, but he would never be complacent. If he could comprehend Laws, could other planetary lifeforms not comprehend Laws?
Although there were very few disciples who comprehended Laws in the upper district of the Divine Palace, it was not unheard of. Many disciples had even comprehended planetary Laws.
Moreover, it was rumored that there were disciples who comprehended advanced planetary Laws. That was even more terrifying. Even Lin Feng could not comprehend advanced planetary Laws now.
After adapting to the planetary combat body, Lin Feng began to study the pearl again. This was Lin Feng's current trump card. It was an Origin Weapon the Divine King Bemond personally refined for Lin Feng.
The ability to unleash power equivalent to an ultimate planetary lifeform would at least be enough to deal with most crises in the universe.
He extended his mental power within, and could clearly "see" the terrifying black hole. However, due to the seal, the suction force of the black hole was useless against Lin Feng.
Hence, his mental power could explore the periphery of the black hole. However, once it entered the black hole, his mental power would still be devoured.
A black hole was an infinite treasure. It was Lin Feng's luck to possess a black hole which he could study at any time and place. The power inside was also depleted with every use, and could not be replenished. The study value of such a black hole was very great. Lin Feng did not want to use the pearl lightly.
Since it was an Origin Weapon bestowed to him by His Majesty Divine King Bemond, with a black hole sealed within it, Lin Feng had to give such a special Origin Weapon a name.
"I'll call it the Black Hole Pearl."
Lin Feng could not be bothered to think too much about it. He gave it a very obvious name.
Next was a period of peace. Lin Feng was like a sponge, frantically absorbing all kinds of knowledge about planetary lifeforms to enrich his lacking cultivation knowledge.
The consummate combat body was especially of crucial importance!
When cultivators metamorphosed into planetary lifeforms, they would practically become another kind of lifeform. They would be completely different from before, and this was equivalent to a new starting point on the path of cultivation.
Foundation was very important. Lin Feng had known this for a long time.
Moreover, Divine King Bemond had also advised him not to give up on cultivating the consummate combat body. However, the difficulty of cultivating the consummate combat body as a planetary lifeform was just too high.
Often, it would take hundreds or thousands of years for planetary lifeforms to make any progress. Sometimes, even ten thousand years was nothing.
Becoming a planetary lifeform meant true immortality. Time was eternal, and life was eternal. It would take a long time to improve even a little.
After understanding all of this, Lin Feng began thinking of returning to his home planet. Although he had not left his home planet for long, he had already metamorphosed into a planetary lifeform. Cultivating would take a very long time in the future. Then, there was no knowing how long it would take before he could return to his home planet again.
Moreover, he still had to leave his avatar to guard his home planet. Only then would he feel more at ease.
Hence, Lin Feng spent another four years stabilizing and mastering his combat body, before deciding to return to his home planet. For this reason, he personally bade farewell to Divine King Bemond.
The Divine King did not stop him. He only asked Lin Feng to return as soon as possible. After all, there were still decades before the Big Bang. That was a grand event that could not be missed.
Lin Feng naturally agreed. He had also promised His Highness Raymond that they would team up to participate in the Big Bang. How could he miss their agreement?
After the Divine King approved it, Lin Feng took Longbetham's bracelet and disappeared into the spatial passage without alerting anyone.

Chapter 454: Returning to Roya
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Buzz.
A dazzling light suddenly lit up in the spatial passage of the Roya Imperial Planet.
The soldiers of the Roya Empire guarding the spatial passage were all in high spirits. They held their heads high and had solemn expressions. They knew very well that anyone who could travel through this spatial passage must be the most distinguished guest.
Be it cultivators or distinguished guests from technological civilizations, they must be of high status and great figures in the universe.
"Transmission from the Bemond Galaxy? That must be a cultivator."
The eyes of the Roya Empire officer in charge of the spatial passage lit up. The spatial passage was a luxury item, and most users were important figures. People like Lin Feng who had nothing back then could forget about entering the spatial passage.
It was only because Lin Feng had made an unexpected fortune that he could enter the spatial passage.
Swoosh.
Finally, a figure appeared in the spatial passage.
"Distinguished guest, the Roya Galaxy welcomes you."
Looking at the respectful attitude of the officer in front of him, Lin Feng's thoughts suddenly returned to five or six years ago. At that time, he had just left his home planet and arrived at the Roya Imperial Planet, and wanted to use the spatial passage to go to the Bemond Galaxy.
At that time, no one paid attention to him. He did not even have enough energy to traverse space.
Only five or six years later, he received completely different treatment.
"Since I'm here on the Roya Imperial Planet, I should also bring something back for my home planet."
Some ideas flashed through Lin Feng's mind.
Although he had purchased many resources from the Divine Palace that were helpful for cultivation, cultivation and technological systems coexisted on his home planet. Sometimes, technology was very important too.
For example, the technology of the planet annihilation cannon would be very important. If he could acquire it, while Lin Feng did not expect the technology on his home planet to develop it immediately, it could provide a direction for his home planet's technological development. That would definitely greatly reduce their detours in technology.
This was the best gift for his home planet!
It had been about ten years since Lin Feng left his home planet. Back when he rushed to the Roya Imperial Planet from his home planet, it had taken more than five years. Now, he had stayed in the Divine Palace of Bemond for another five years. Hence, Lin Feng had left his home planet for at least ten years.
In the universe, the concept of time was actually very weak. As for cultivators, after becoming planetary lifeforms, the concept of time was even weaker.
Some planetary lifeforms could sleep for decades or centuries at a time. A few years might just be enough for those planetary lifeforms to take a nap.
However, how could Lin Feng purchase a strategic high-end technology like the planet annihilation cannon so easily? Even Longbetham did not have information on such strategic cannons.
"Perhaps there's a place where I can find what I need."
An idea flashed through Lin Feng's mind. He remembered a "good place".
Swoosh.
Lin Feng flew out of the spatial passage directly. Ignoring the enthusiastic officer, he flew straight to the center of the bustling Roya Imperial Planet.
Walking on the bustling streets, Lin Feng also looked at the crowd on the streets with interest. He had been to the Roya Imperial Planet before, but back then, he was in a hurry to use the spatial passage to head to the Bemond Galaxy. How could he be in such a leisurely mood now?
Things were different now. Lin Feng was already a planetary lifeform. He had a long lifespan, and sufficient strength to deal with all kinds of threats. Naturally, his mood was different.
Strolling along the streets, Lin Feng slowly came before a building.
"The Skull Chamber of Commerce!"
This was Lin Feng's destination. Although the Skull Chamber of Commerce had some underground characteristics, it was a legal chamber of commerce. It was just involved some relatively gray areas.
Lin Feng looked at the people coming and going in the Chamber of Commerce building. A smile gradually appeared on his lips. It seemed like the Skull Chamber of Commerce had developed quite well over the past few years, and was not affected by the blow Lin Feng delivered back then.
This time, if Lin Feng wanted to obtain information on the planet annihilation cannons, he would have to rely on the Skull Chamber of Commerce.
…
In the past five or six years, the Skull Chamber of Commerce had experienced periods of pain.
The senior executives of the Skull Chamber of Commerce hated the cultivator who caused heavy losses for the Skull Chamber of Commerce with every fiber of their being. However, at that time, the president of the Chamber of Commerce became the scapegoat, and the remaining people continued to maintain the operation of the Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, they operated the Skull Chamber of Commerce very well, and even took it to the next level. Also, with the support of the important figures behind the chamber of commerce, they had expanded the armed battleships to a total of ten planet annihilator battleships.
The current Skull Chamber of Commerce could be said to be doing swimmingly. Its business was expanding, and it had vaguely become one of the top 100 major chambers of commerce on the Roya Imperial Planet.
The current president of the Skull Chamber of Commerce, Polo, was an iron-fisted leader. Ever since he took over the Chamber of Commerce, he had used a series of forceful methods to turn the Chamber of Commerce around. Now, it was thriving.
Swoosh.
Polo was busy with work in the office when he suddenly had a strange feeling. He looked up and realized that an unfamiliar young man was sitting in the chair in front of him.
Polo frowned and said coldly, "Who are you? I don't remember letting anyone in."
"Mr. Polo, congratulations on becoming the president of the Skull Chamber of Commerce. How does it feel to be in charge?"
"Who exactly are you?"
Polo's tone became slightly stern. He did not like the other party's condescending gaze. From the bottom rung of the Chamber of Commerce, he had risen to power step by step in order to prove himself and not be underestimated by others.
Hence, his self-esteem was very strong, and there was already a faint trace of anger in his heart.
"President Polo, if not for me five or six years ago, you probably wouldn't have had the chance to become the president of the Skull Chamber of Commerce, right? By the way, your previous president seemed to have become the scapegoat."
"You… That mysterious cultivator?"
Polo finally recalled that five or six years ago, the Skull Chamber of Commerce was on the brink of collapse, and the previous president of the Chamber of Commerce became the scapegoat. It was how he had the chance to take over the position of president, and got to where he was today step by step.
The previous president had died because of a mysterious cultivator.
That cultivator had destroyed the armed forces of the Skull Chamber of Commerce alone. Even three planet annihilator battleships had been destroyed. The Skull Chamber of Commerce had been soundly defeated.
Although the mysterious cultivator had left later, Polo remembered the appearance of that cultivator. He absolutely did not want to see that cultivator again unless he had to.
And now, that cultivator had returned, and was sitting in front of him. For a moment, Polo's heart was flabbergasted.
However, as expected of someone with a strong conviction, Polo immediately calmed down and said in a low voice, "As a distinguished cultivator, you suddenly returned to the Roya Imperial Planet and found the Skull Chamber of Commerce. You must have a use for our Skull Chamber of Commerce, right?"
"That's right. You're a clever person, completely unlike the previous president. If the previous president had your cleverness, he wouldn't have ended up the way he did."
Polo's heart skipped a beat. He knew the other party was reminding him to take the previous president as a past lesson.

Chapter 455: The Auricles
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Tell me, what do you need me to do?" Polo said in a low voice.
Lin Feng smiled. "You're the dignified president of the Skull Chamber of Commerce. This matter should be very easy for you. I need detailed information on planet annihilation cannons."
"Impossible!"
Polo's face was dark. He rejected without even thinking.
"Venerable cultivator, you may not know the importance of the planet annihilation cannon to a technological civilization like ours. Once it gets out, no matter our identities, we will definitely be dead! Even the Skull Chamber of Commerce cannot afford such a price."
Lin Feng's expression also gradually frosted over. "President Polo, I think you're mistaken. I'm not discussing this with you, but requesting this from you! The information on the planet annihilation cannons is indeed very important, but I won't use it in the Roya Galaxy. It won't pose any threat to you and the Skull Chamber of Commerce."
With that, Lin Feng closed his eyes and said nothing. He believed that Polo would make the right choice.
Polo's expression was clouded with uncertainty. Did he dare to refuse? He did not. The cultivator in front of him could even destroy the planet annihilation cannons. He had long proved that he possessed planetary-level combat power!
Combat power on the planetary level was enough to destroy a planet, and far more terrifying than a planet annihilation fleet. If he did not agree, he might not be able to resist the cultivator at all.
Risking his life for a bit of information? Someone like Polo was not that committed.
"All right, I need time. A month!"
"No, you only have three days!"
Lin Feng would not allow Polo to stall for time. Even three days was too long for him.
Polo could only agree. Although the information was very important, if he only acquired the technology, without the corresponding industry, materials, basic theoretical knowledge, and so on, it would be impossible to build the planet annihilation cannons.
Lin Feng waited alone on the Roya Imperial Planet for three days. He did not even pay attention to Polo. Lin Feng did not care if Polo made any moves in secret at all.
With his current strength, forget about Polo, even dealing with the Skull Chamber of Commerce or the entire Roya Imperial Planet would be a piece of cake!
Only the strategic weapons that the Roya Empire could use to kill advanced planetary lifeforms could make Lin Feng slightly wary. As for the others, Lin Feng paid no mind to them at all.
This was the change in thinking brought about by strength. Even the angle at which one thought of problems would be different.
If the Divine King Bemond wanted some kind of information or technology, would he need to find a person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce to secretly collect information like Lin Feng?
He would probably have gone to the royal family of the Roya Empire first, and the other party would deliver it obediently.
It seemed a little cruel, but the weak were prey to the strong in the universe. Countless civilizations died, and countless planets were destroyed every day. Only strength was eternal.
Three days later, Polo delivered the information as promised. It was all information on the planet annihilation cannons. Lin Feng asked Longbetham to check it. He believed that Polo would not dare to lie to him.
"Venerable cultivator, I have brought the information as agreed. You…"
"Don't worry, I'll leave the Roya Imperial Planet immediately."
Lin Feng naturally knew what Polo meant. The other party probably wished he could leave immediately and never return.
Since he had already obtained the information, Lin Feng was no longer in the mood to stay on the Roya Imperial Planet either. He went directly into the universe, then used the massive Void Traversal Combat Body of 140,000 kilometers, and began to travel by warping space at full speed.
In the past, before Lin Feng had transformed into a planetary combat body, he could only travel a distance of five light-years at most with a full-power spatial warp. Actually, this was already very far. After all, it was already quite impressive if an ordinary spaceship could stay at five times the speed of light. For a distance of five light-years, it would take a spaceship flying at full speed a year.
As for Lin Feng's spatial warp? He only needed an instant to warp, and might be able to warp a distance of five light-years in a second or two.
However, that was only before Lin Feng became a planetary lifeform. Now that Lin Feng had become a planetary lifeform, the Void Traversal Combat Body naturally underwent metamorphosis as well.
After using the Void Traversal Combat Body, Lin Feng's comprehension of space was unprecedentedly clear. He did not even need any power, as if he was a part of space that could easily be integrated into space.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng's Void Traversal Combat Body disappeared all of a sudden. When it reappeared, according to the cosmic map, it was already 50 light-years away.
This was 50 light-years! Normally, a spaceship flying at five times the speed of light would take an entire decade to traverse a distance of 50 light-years. Lin Feng, on the other hand, could traverse a distance of dozens of light-years in just one or two seconds.
No wonder cultivators with spatial innate ability and the ability to warp space had such high status in the vast universe. It was way too convenient to warp space in the vast universe.
However, this was far from Lin Feng's limit. He also wanted to test his limit. Hence, Lin Feng integrated into space again and began warping space.
This time, Lin Feng clearly felt that time seemed to be much longer. Only after his Void Traversal Combat Body reached its limit did he fly out of space.
According to the cosmic map this time, Lin Feng was surprised to discover that he had already warped over a hundred light-years away in one go.
A distance of over a hundred light-years was simply unimaginable!
Normally, if a spaceship stayed at five times the speed of light, it would take at least 20 years to traverse a distance of a hundred light-years. However, Lin Feng could traverse a hundred light-years in a single breath.
The spatial innate ability was just too terrifying! There was no faster way than warping space when traveling in the universe.
Lin Feng was extremely satisfied with the Void Traversal Combat Body. If he only used the Law of Space, Lin Feng could only travel about ten light-years in one go now.
Although it was not bad, there was still a huge gap from the Void Traversal Combat Body's maximum distance of 100 light-years.
Lin Feng had already warped to an unfamiliar cosmos. Then, he warped a few more times in succession, constantly warping according to the cosmic coordinates of his home planet.
The continuous warping made Lin Feng a little dizzy too. Without the cosmic map, even with accurate cosmic coordinates, it was actually very difficult to find his home planet's coordinates.
Lin Feng warped back and forth, not knowing where he had arrived at.
However, looking at the surrounding cosmos, Lin Feng suddenly had a familiar feeling.
"Master, according to the cosmic map, this place is already very close to Planet Auricle that Master encountered back then."
"Planet Auricle? The Auricles!"
Lin Feng came to a realization. It turned out that after warping back and forth, he had actually arrived at Planet Auricle again.
It was impossible for Lin Feng to have forgotten about the Auricles. Back then, he had destroyed the slave catcher fleet of the Skull Chamber of Commerce and obtained the Sacred Stone of Anathema, an invaluable treasure, from the Auricles. How could he forget about the Auricles?
"Looks like my fate is really intertwined with the Auricles'. Let's see how far Planet Auricle has developed now."
Lin Feng remembered that when he left back then, he had left behind a set of cosmic cultivation techniques. Now, perhaps the Auricles had already entered the cultivation era completely.

Chapter 456: Disaster on Planet Auricle
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Feng did not even use spatial warp. He only flew through the universe. Soon, he saw a planet in front of him. It was Planet Auricle.
Back then, Lin Feng had defeated the slave catchers of the Skull Chamber of Commerce near Planet Auricle. Thus, the Auricles gave Lin Feng the Sacred Stone of Anathema in gratitude.
Up until now, Lin Feng still did not know the origins of this Sacred Stone of Anathema, but it was very helpful to Lin Feng. Without the Sacred Stone of Anathema, Lin Feng would not be able to comprehend the Law of Space. Then, he would probably have been killed by the fiends, or devoured by the black hole when investigating the fiends hidden in the Matrix civilization last time.
The Sacred Stone of Anathema had given Lin Feng so much help. Naturally, Lin Feng would not forget the Auricles.
Lin Feng flew towards Planet Auricle. When he entered Planet Auricle, however, the smile on his face instantly froze.
The lands of Planet Auricles before him were riddled with pits. There were terrible craters everywhere. Mountains had collapsed, and the earth was rent apart. There was no sign of life at all. Not a single Auricle could be found in sight.
What had the Auricles encountered?
Lin Feng continued to fly down and realized that there were many skeletons of the Auricles below, some strange metal robots, and even the remnants of battleships.
They had clearly encountered an invasion!
Lin Feng knew that there were roughly more than a billion Auricles. It was not a lot, but it was definitely not a small number either. Even if a natural disaster had occurred, they would not have dwindled so much in just a few years. In fact, he had never seen any Auricles alive in all this time.
Lin Feng's expression became darker and darker. Back then, he had given the Auricles a set of cosmic cultivation techniques. He did not expect that it still could not help the Auricles, and they would suffer such a calamity.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Lin Feng saw magnificent buildings and large robots in front of him. They seemed to be mining.
After all, Planet Auricle was a planet that had given birth to a civilization. It was rich in all kinds of resources. If the Auricles were conquered, the conquerer definitely would not pass on the natural resources here.
Lin Feng scanned with his mental power. He had already discovered that there were countless ore extraction factories here. There were no intelligent lifeforms. It was all automatically controlled by robot programs.
"Destroy!"
Lin Feng extended his palm immediately, and slammed down hard in an overwhelming strike.
Boom.
The ore extraction factory shattered with a bang and was smashed into the ground by Lin Feng. All the robots were reduced to dust, but this did not ease the anger and killing intent in Lin Feng's heart.
Where were the billion Auricles now?
Could they all be dead?
At this thought, Lin Feng felt a faint twinge in his heart. He was not an Auricle, but the Auricles ultimately had a trace of connection with him. When he saw that the Auricles had been slaughtered and their civilization was terminated, he was incomparably furious and sad
Lin Feng unleashed all his mental power and searched frantically for everything on Planet Auricle.
Within a radius of hundreds of miles, all the ore extraction factories and robots were destroyed by Lin Feng without hesitation.
However, what was this worth to the Auricles? It was ultimately too late.
"Whether there are any Auricles left, even if there is only one of them, I can't just sit back and do nothing!"
Lin Feng's gaze was frigid, and his heart was already filled with monstrous killing intent.
…
In a valley, an old man with a wrinkled face was leading many young and muscular men and women to cultivate some kind of technique.
Boom.
Suddenly, one of them's aura grew violent. A large amount of star power was channeled from the universe above and poured into his body. His body quickly expanded like a balloon.
"I've broken through. One life transition!"
The man was overjoyed. Feeling the powerful strength in his body, he was very excited.
"Wiseman, thank you for your guidance!"
This man who had undergone one life transition hurriedly bowed respectfully to the old man.
"No need for courtesies."
The elder glanced at the young man, but felt no trace of excitement at all. In the past, the powerful Auricles had more than a billion people. Now, there were only tens of thousands of them left, holed up in this valley shrouded in thick fog all year round, struggling to survive.
Although he was the wiseman of the Auricles, there was nothing he could do.
The power of those devils from the beyond was simply too strong. Forget about one life transition, they were definitely not a match even with two or three life transitions.
The only hope was if someone could attain six life transitions. According to the cultivation technique left behind by that deity, only by undergoing six life transitions could one become a planetary lifeform.
Perhaps, that would be the realm of a deity.
However, even the strongest being among the Auricles in the present was only at the second life transition. As for six life transitions, even the wiseman did not know if he would live to see it.
How he wished that the apocalypse had not arrived, and those devils had not appeared. The Auricles had avoided calamity once with the help of a deity, but how could they avoid calamity for a second time?
Right now, the wiseman had placed all his hopes on these tens of thousands of Auricles. He had never thought of revenge. He only hoped that the Auricles could continue living in this valley, and at least ensure that the Auricles' civilization could be passed on.
As for revenge? The difference was too great. He had never even thought about it.
Although the wiseman had never thought of revenge, hatred had always brewed in the hearts of the "remnants". The tens of thousands of Auricles left called themselves "remnants". They struggled to survive, and never stopped thinking of revenge in the depths of their hearts.
However, the wiseman had strict orders that the Auricles were not to leave the valley without permission. They could only cultivate desperately.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
Suddenly, the valley shook violently again. Balls of flames soared into the sky, and explosions echoed through the sky. The devils' robots were bombarding everywhere again.
Those devils could not find this place, so they would bomb the forest every day. If any Auricle could not tolerate the bombardment and went out, they would definitely be blasted into a bloody mist.
Back then, Auricle experts who had undergone two life transitions could not stand such vexation and rushed out, but never returned.
Hence, they could only endure it!
The Auricles could tolerate it, but the robots were still loyally carrying out their mission. They wanted to kill all the Auricles, so they had been constantly searching for traces of the Auricles.
If they could not find the Auricles, they would comb through the planet with bombardment. They would find the Auricles eventually.
As usual, the robots bombarded continuously while the Auricles hid in the valley. As they sensed the crumbling mountain walls, many children were trembling in fear, but they did not dare to make any sound.
However, this time, the Auricles seemed to have run out of luck. A laser bomb suddenly landed in the valley.
Boom.
Immediately, dozens of Auricles were blasted to death. Immediately after, a few more laser bombs came. Finally, the Auricle who had just undergone a life transition could no longer tolerate it. He deployed his combat body and stopped the few laser bombs.
"Auricles discovered!"
His action to stop them, however, completely exposed the hiding place of the Auricles.

Chapter 457: Descent of Deity
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
More and more robots gathered, and battleships lingered in the sky. For a moment, the Auricles in the valley felt as if doomsday had arrived. Despair appeared in their eyes.
The man who "got into trouble" also had a face filled with anger and regret. He suddenly roared and charged into the robots in a frenzy. However, a huge cannon from the other battleship instantly blasted the man who had undergone one life transition into ashes.
The wiseman looked at the sky. His hands were trembling.
"The Auricles are going to die out!"
Tears streamed down the wiseman's face. He was the wiseman of the Auricles, the most respected individual. He should have showed the way for his clansmen and led them to glory.
But now, the opposite had happened. Even though he and his clansmen had struggled for a few years, they still could not escape the fate of destruction. From now on, the Auricles would probably cease to exist.
More and more robots entered the valley. These robots either captured the Auricles, or shot and killed those who dared to resist.
For a time, wails and blood filled the valley. The only "warriors" in the clan who had broken their life limit and undergone life transitions were all killed in battle.
"Wiseman, let's run."
Many elders were waiting for the wiseman's decision.
However, the wiseman shook his head and said dispiritedly, "Run? Where else can we run off to now? We won't run anymore. This is the fate of us Auricles. We won't run anymore…"
The wiseman not want to run anymore. He saw it clearly. He could not change the fate of the Auricles. Today might be the day the Auricles went completely extinct.
It was a sad and dismal fate, yet he felt vaguely relieved.
The fact that the Auricles could struggle to survive until today was already the limit of what the wiseman could do. Unfortunately, no miracle had occurred. The Auricles were destined to meet such a fate.
More and more robots appeared in the valley, and the resistance of the Auricles became weaker and weaker. If even the wiseman had given up, what could the remaining Auricles do?
Even if they resisted, what was the point? There would only be more corpses in the valley. It was meaningless.
Hence, more and more Auricles stopped resisting. They only cried and surrendered, allowing the robots to capture them.
Swoosh.
No one noticed that a figure had suddenly appeared in the sky. Even the robots and battleships did not notice this figure.
"Damn it!"
Lin Feng sensed a violent explosion. He used spatial warp to arrive here directly, only to see the scene before him.
They were Auricles. There were actually still Auricles. However, many of them were dead or injured, leaving only some tens of thousands of Auricles. He even saw an old acquaintance in the crowd.
The wiseman who had given him the Sacred Stone of Anathema back then was also surrounded by robots now.
Killing intent surged in Lin Feng's heart. He reached out and squeezed the five battleships in the sky.
Boom.
It was as if the sky had darkened all of a sudden. A huge palm descended from the sky, enveloping the five battleships and crushing them forcefully.
As for the countless robots below, Lin Feng directly blasted most of them apart with a palm strike. The remaining robots all charged towards Lin Feng, and were all killed by Lin Feng.
In the end, they were just robots controlled by a program. They were too inflexible, and just charged all the way to their deaths.
These robots were all eliminated, and the battleship was crushed. The tens of thousands of Auricles who survived in the valley all stared blankly at the figure in the sky.
They did not know Lin Feng, but that did not mean that no one knew Lin Feng.
At least, when the wiseman in the crowd saw the figure in the sky, his entire body trembled violently. Even his turbid eyes flickered with a trace of excitement.
"Deity! The deity has descended!" The wiseman roared, his voice echoing throughout the entire valley.
The deity was familiar to all the Auricles. A few years ago, when the devils from beyond first invaded, it was the arrival of the deity that saved the Auricles.
Before the deity left, he also gifted the Auricles with cosmic cultivation techniques. These techniques were also profound. With time, the Auricles would definitely become stronger by relying on this technique.
Unfortunately, those devils from beyond had invaded again in just a few years, and did not allow the Auricles time to develop. As a result, they had reached the point of extinction today.
But now, the deity had actually returned, and saved the Auricles again at the critical moment. All the Auricles were jubilant. They were saved.
Lin Feng walked down from the sky step by step and arrived in front of the wiseman.
Looking at the Sage's increasingly aged face, Lin Feng knew that the other man probably did not have more than a few years left to live.
"Wiseman, what exactly happened on Planet Auricle?" Lin Feng asked the wiseman with his mental power.
"Deity, please take a seat inside. I'll explain everything to you."
In the battle in the valley, the Auricles had suffered heavy losses. Lin Feng was communicating with the wiseman, but more Auricles began to retrieve the corpses of their clansmen and clean up the valley.
Although they had suffered heavy losses and many of their family members were dead, they were filled with hope and no longer despaired. This was because the deity had descended. They had personally witnessed the terrifying power of the deity. Even the devils from beyond were definitely not a match for the deity.
The Auricles were no longer doomed to go extinct.
Lin Feng and the important figures of the Auricles sat in the room. The wiseman began to explain in detail everything that had happened to the Auricles over the past few years.
It turned out that only two years after Lin Feng left, another fleet had arrived at Planet Auricle.
This fleet was extremely powerful. The Auricles could not resist at all and were captured and enslaved by the fleet. Most of the remaining people were led by the wiseman, and hid in various places until now.
The war between the Auricles and the devils from beyond lasted for a few years. They also roughly understood the origins of the fleet.
This fleet belonged to the Pall Chamber of Commerce, and was one of the main fleets of the Pall Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, when they came to Planet Auricle, they had come straight for Planet Auricle, as if they were very familiar with Planet Auricle.
They must have learned a lot about Planet Auricle beforehand. It probably had something to do with the slave catcher squad of the Skull Chamber of Commerce.
Most of the Auricles had been captured and made slaves. As for the current situation of these Auricles, the wiseman did not know, but they likely suffered tragic fates.
Although slave trading was not allowed in the Roya Empire, the Pall Chamber of Commerce could trade across galaxies. Many civilizations endorsed slavery, and it would not be difficult to sell them all over the universe.
Hence, the remaining Auricles were actually the only spark left of the Auricles.
"Pall Chamber of Commerce…"
A sharp glint flashed across Lin Feng's eyes. He had heard of this chamber of commerce before. It was extremely famous in the Roya Empire, and was ranked ninth among the top ten chambers of commerce! In fact, there were countless connections between the Skull Chamber of Commerce and the Pall Chamber of Commerce.
"Don't worry, the Auricles won't die out. And your feud will not go unavenged." Lin Feng said quietly, a trace of coldness in his voice.

Chapter 458: Weakness Is the Original Sin
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Feng had saved the Auricles again, but he was not happy at all. In the universe, weakness was the original sin. It was precisely because the Auricles were weak that they faced danger again and again.
Now, their home had even been destroyed by the fleet of the Pall Chamber of Commerce. Lin Feng could be unflinching towards killing, but he could not sit back and do nothing while such a thing happened.
Then, Lin Feng attacked frequently and destroyed one base of the Pall Chamber of Commerce after another. Although they were all robots and battleships, destroying these bases caused the foundation of the Pall Chamber of Commerce on the Auricles to crumble overnight.
What heartened Lin Feng was that at the rousing call of the Auricles' wiseman, those Auricles hiding in the deep mountains and forests actually left the forest one after another and gathered with Lin Feng.
In the end, a count showed that there were actually still a hundred thousand Auricles left in total. This could be considered a blessing among misfortunes.
Although Lin Feng had destroyed the base of the Pall Chamber of Commerce, Planet Auricle was no longer safe. Lin Feng had obtained a huge battleship from the destroyed base of the Pall Chamber of Commerce that could easily accommodate the 100,000 Auricles.
Lin Feng led the last 100,000 Auricles and piloted the battleship. They left Planet Auricle en masse, heading for the Roya Imperial Planet.
Not only did Lin Feng want to seek justice for the Auricles, he also wanted to see if he could save more Auricles.
About a light-year away from the Roya Imperial Planet, Lin Feng left an avatar to protect the Auricles in the battleship. He headed to the Roya Imperial Planet alone.
After all, no one knew what would happen. If the Auricles stayed by Lin Feng's side, it would be very dangerous if a battle broke out.
"I hope everything goes smoothly."
A trace of coldness flashed across Lin Feng's eyes.
…
On the Roya Imperial Planet, the president of the Skull Chamber of Commerce, Polo, could finally heave a long sigh of relief. That jinx had finally left. He did not want to end up like the previous president, so he did his best to satisfy that cultivator's request.
Fortunately, the cultivator kept his promise and eventually left.
Just as Polo was about to relax properly, the space in his office distorted. He watched helplessly as a familiar figure walked out.
Polo's eyes widened, and his expression was filled with incomparable fear. He said in shock, "You… Why haven't you left?"
"No, I left, but I came back!"
Polo forced himself to calm down and said in a low voice, "Venerable cultivator, I've already helped you achieve your goal. What else do you want?"
"The last matter is over. I'd like to ask you for another favor this time."
The one who appeared again was naturally Lin Feng. Although he was filled with anger and killing intent, he would not really launch an attack on the Roya Imperial Planet without any information.
If he wanted to learn about the Pall Chamber of Commerce, there was no doubt that Polo was the best candidate.
"Mr. Polo, I want to know everything about the Auricles. I believe Mr. Polo must know what I'm talking about."
Hearing Lin Feng mention the Auricles, Polo's expression changed drastically.
Previously, he had thought that Lin Feng did not know about the Auricles, or rather, that Lin Feng had nothing to do with the Auricles. But now, it seemed like Lin Feng clearly knew about the matter with the Auricles.
"Venerable cultivator, you're not an Auricle, right? Why…"
"Tell me everything about the Auricles! Remember, everything!"
Lin Feng's cold gaze made Polo's heart tremble. He knew that this terrifying cultivator in front of him was probably already extremely furious. He should have realized sooner that Lin Feng had a grudge with the Skull Chamber of Commerce precisely because of the Auricles back then.
Lin Feng must have some unknown relationship with the Auricles.
"Venerable cultivator, the affairs of the Auricles have nothing to do with our Skull Chamber of Commerce. It was all the Pall Chamber of Commerce's doing. As you know, the Pall Chamber of Commerce is one of the top ten chambers of commerce in the Roya Empire. Its power is immense, and far beyond what our Skull Chamber of Commerce can contend with.
"After you dealt a heavy blow to our Skull Chamber of Commerce last time, the Pall Chamber of Commerce somehow caught wind of Planet Auricle's existence. They forced our Skull Chamber of Commerce to give them some information on Planet Auricle. Then, the Pall Chamber of Commerce searched for some time according to this information, and finally found Planet Auricle."
Lin Feng already knew what happened after. For the chambers of commerce in the universe, once they found out about an unclaimed planet with intelligent lifeforms, their goal would be obvious.
"How many Auricles has the Pall Chamber of Commerce captured? Where are those Auricles now?"
"The Pall Chamber of Commerce deals in slave trade in secret. Actually, this is not much of a secret. There are hundreds of chambers of commerce in the Roya Empire, big or small. Which chamber of commerce doesn't deal in slave trade? After all, slave trade is the most lucrative and least risky of all trades. Even though the Roya Empire forbids slave trade, the Pall Chamber of Commerce can trade with other galaxies. Most of those Auricles were traded to other galaxies, priced as slaves. It will be difficult to find them."
Lin Feng's face was ashen. Just as he had guessed, the Auricles were all traded as slaves to other galaxies, earning the Pall Chamber of Commerce huge profits.
"Where is the headquarters of the Pall Chamber of Commerce?"
"On the Roya Imperial Planet."
With that, Polo realized that Lin Feng had disappeared again. He heaved a long sigh of relief, but his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Just now, Lin Feng had come with ill intentions, and his killing intent was boiling. Did he really dare to attack on the Roya Imperial Planet?
However, this was not impossible. Polo was a meticulous and very bold person. If Lin Feng really wanted to attack the Pall Chamber of Commerce, perhaps this would be an opportunity for the Skull Chamber of Commerce.
It would be an opportunity to greatly expand the Skull Chamber of Commerce!
Even though there might be a certain degree of risk, Polo still gritted his teeth in the end, and immediately began taking action.
…
"Pall Chamber of Commerce!"
Lin Feng strolled along the bustling streets. People came and went here. There seemed to be all kinds of civilized races. Everything seemed so prosperous and harmonious.
But in reality?
The universe ultimately abided by the law of the jungle. The strong preyed on the weak. Being weak was the original sin. These chambers of commerce committed ignominious acts in the dark.
Lin Feng would not change the law of the entire universe, but since he had encountered this, and it was of some relation to him, he could not pretend to not know. That would be cowardice, and burying one's head in the sand.
If weakness was the original sin, wasn't the Pall Chamber of Commerce weak in Lin Feng's eyes, too?
Boom.
Lin Feng's body began to expand, and a terrifying aura spread out majestically. The building of the Pall Chamber of Commerce was like paper in front of Lin Feng's expanding combat body.
For a moment, all the alarms on the Roya Imperial Planet sounded.

Chapter 459: The Empire's Operation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"What's going on?"
"Enemy invasion?"
"Who dares to invade our Roya Imperial Planet?"
"Looks like a cultivator. What a terrifying cultivator!"
The alarm sounded, and the entire Roya Imperial Planet was shaken. Countless relevant departments immediately mobilized and began to investigate everything regarding Lin Feng.
At this moment, the people in the headquarters building of the Pall Chamber of Commerce were naturally the most nervous. They could only watch helplessly as Lin Feng's massive combat body stared at them coldly.
They did not even know what they had done wrong.
In the sky, Lin Feng looked down at the Pall Chamber of Commerce building. He had not used his full combat body. Otherwise, a slight movement from his 140,000-kilometer combat body would be enough to shatter the Roya Imperial Planet.
This was not what Lin Feng wanted. Even though he was furious and filled with killing intent, this was the Pall Chamber of Commerce's crime. He would not implicate others in his anger.
"Pall Chamber of Commerce, you deal in slave trading. You deserve to be killed!"
Lin Feng's words spread like wildfire.
Slave trading?
Actually, it was not that no one knew about the actions of these chambers of commerce. But so what if they knew? Even the Roya Empire turned a blind eye. Although slave trading was not allowed in the Roya Empire, it could not stop the chambers of commerce from capturing slaves to trade in other galaxies.
Unexpectedly, the Pall Chamber of Commerce seemed to have caused huge trouble this time.
The executives of the Pall Chamber of Commerce's headquarters were already bellowing.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
The president of the Pall Chamber of Commerce's face was dark. He was also in the Pall Building. Once the cultivator attacked, he would die too!
In so many years, when had the upper echelons of the Pall Chamber of Commerce ever felt the threat of death? Hence, all of them were incomparably terrified now.
"President, we've investigated thoroughly. This cultivator once defeated the Skull Chamber of Commerce, and is related to the Auricles."
"The Auricles?"
The executives of the Pall Chamber of Commerce already knew what was going on, but their faces turned even paler.
As the most successful business deal of the Pall Chamber of Commerce in recent years, how could they not remember the Auricles? They had sent fleets to destroy the resistance of the Auricles, occupied Planet Auricle, and sold more than a billion Auricles to various parts of the universe, earning a large sum of profit for the chamber of commerce.
They would never forget the Auricles.
Wasn't the Auricles just a backward civilization? Even if they had encountered resistance from the Auricles during the conquest, and the Auricles seemed to possess the cosmic cultivation method, back then, the strongest among those Auricles had only undergone three life transitions, and were all blasted to death by the fleet.
Why would a planetary lifeform stand up for them?
It had to be known that if there were any planetary lifeforms in a civilization, no chamber of commerce in the Roya Empire would have dared to attack it. Planetary lifeforms were not to be trifled with.
"Damn it, what did the intelligence department say back then? 'That cultivator was just an accident, and he left the Roya Imperial Planet for good.' What about now? Why would he appear?"
The president of the Pall Chamber of Commerce was ranting. He was incomparably furious and regretful. How could they have provoked a civilization with any planetary lifeforms? If they had known that there was a planetary lifeform among the Auricles, no matter how much profit there was, they would not have dared to capture the Auricles.
But it was too late for anything now. The other party had already come looking for them. In a little while, all of them would die.
"President, it's useless to pursue the responsibility now. We still have an advantage now. It's true that this cultivator is a planetary lifeform, but this is the Roya Imperial Planet. How can the Roya Empire tolerate cultivators acting however they please on the Roya Imperial Planet? We just need to hold him off until the Roya Empire takes action."
"Huh? How can we stall this cultivator?"
"It's very simple. Didn't we leave about 100,000 Auricles behind for training? We originally wanted to sell them for a higher price, but from the looks of it, we can only use these Auricles to stall that cultivator."
"This is a good idea, but if we hand over those 100,000 Auricles slaves, won't the entire Roya Empire know that our Pall Chamber of Commerce is engaging in slave trade?"
"President, trading slaves is a small matter. When the time comes, our Pall Chamber of Commerce will only have to pay a minor price. But if we don't hold off that cultivator now, we'll all die!"
"All right, negotiate with this cultivator and stall for as much time as possible!"
The executives of the Pall Chamber of Commerce immediately made the decision.
At the same time, a spaceship flew towards Lin Feng. Many robots flew out of it and said loudly to Lin Feng, "Venerable cultivator, we understand your anger. The Pall Chamber of Commerce deeply regrets the matter of the Auricles. We are willing to bear all the consequences. There are still 100,000 Auricles left in our headquarters. We are willing to return them to you."
"A hundred thousand Auricles?"
Lin Feng was originally prepared to attack and completely destroy the building, but when he heard that there were still 100,000 Auricles, he stopped.
"Send 100,000 Auricles to a spaceship within two universal hours."
Lin Feng only gave the Pall Chamber of Commerce two hours. He looked around again, and actually already saw through the Pall Chamber of Commerce's plan. They were just stalling for time, waiting for the Roya Empire to save them.
But so what if the Roya Empire's fleet came?
Lin Feng was willing to wait for two hours, as long as he could save the 100,000 Auricles.
Two hours was very short, but the Pall Chamber of Commerce did not have the ability to bargain. They could only mobilize all their manpower and try their best to send a hundred thousand Auricles into the spaceship within two hours.
As for the rest, it would depend on how the Pall Chamber of Commerce persuaded the Roya Empire's fleet.
…
The upper echelons of the Roya Empire quickly received news about Lin Feng and the Pall Chamber of Commerce. The intelligence department was very competent. They investigated all the causes and effects in the shortest time possible.
"A planetary lifeform sympathized with the Auricles and charged into the Roya Imperial Planet in a fit of anger to eliminate the Pall Chamber of Commerce?"
Although the Roya Empire was an empire, it had a parliamentary system. The ministers of every department had great authority. The emperor of the empire was more like an adjudicator who had the final say.
The one who spoke was the emperor of the empire. His expression was calm, but there was some dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Although it's understandable, the Roya Galaxy has already enjoyed thousands of years of peace. No cultivator or faction can violate the rules of the empire. This cultivator has already broken the rules of the empire and damaged the dignity of the empire. Minister of War, can the Eleventh Fleet deal with this cultivator?"
The Minister of War was a courteous gentleman. He stood up and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, according to the information, this cultivator is very likely a planetary lifeform. The Eleventh Fleet is enough to deal with a planetary lifeform, of course, but to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we should mobilize the stellar particle cannon."
Everyone broke into discussion. The stellar particle cannon was a strategic weapon of the Roya Empire, and was one of the strongest weapons. It could blast apart a star with a single shot, and even advanced planetary lifeforms would be severely injured.
This was also the strongest guarantee that allowed the Roya Empire to occupy the Roya Galaxy.
Even though the emperor felt that the Minister of War was making a mountain out of a molehill, the Minister of War had always been prudent. In particular, since they did not know the background of this cultivator, being prudent was not uncalled for.
"Granted. Mobilize the Eleventh Fleet and the stellar particle cannon immediately. If the cultivator insists on fighting, he will see the power of the Roya Empire! The dignity of the empire cannot be violated!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The imperial conference was dismissed, and the Minister of War began to give orders to the fleet.
The massive Roya Empire was beginning to take action!

Chapter 460: Stellar Particle Cannon!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"President, the Imperial Minister of War has already mobilized the Eleventh Fleet and is rushing to our Pall Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, the attitude of His Majesty is very forceful!"
The people of the Pall Chamber of Commerce were overjoyed. The empire had finally taken action. The people of the Pall Chamber of Commerce were naturally very confident in the Roya Empire. Forget about planetary lifeforms, even advanced planetary lifeforms would not dare to act presumptuously in the Roya Empire.
As long as the empire took action, what were mere planetary lifeforms worth?
"President, two hours are almost up."
"The Auricles have all been sent to the spaceship, right?"
"They have all been sent to the spaceship according to the other party's request."
"Very good, hand it over to the other party immediately. Looking at the time, the Eleventh Fleet should be arriving soon."
The president of the Pall Chamber of Commerce sneered. Lin Feng actually dared to threaten the Pall Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, did he really think that a cultivator who was a planetary lifeform could do whatever they wanted on the Roya Imperial Planet?
This was the Roya Empire, not some weak civilization.
…
"Venerable cultivator, the Auricles have all been sent into the spaceship."
Lin Feng opened his eyes. He scanned with his mental power. There were indeed a hundred thousand Auricles in the spaceship in the distance. However, he was not in a hurry to receive them. He just left the spaceship there.
This was because he had already seen battleships. There were countless battleships equipped with planet annihilation cannons. Clearly, the Roya Empire was prepared to resolve the problem by force.
This was already within Lin Feng's expectations. As the hegemon of the Roya Galaxy, it would really be stranger if the Roya Empire did not react when Lin Feng attacked publicly on the Roya Imperial Planet.
Lin Feng knew very well that this battle was inevitable. Only by letting the Roya Empire realize his strength, in this universe where weakness was the original sin, could he maximize the chance of putting an end to such things in the future.
Leaving the spaceship at the Pall Chamber of Commerce was the safest. Lin Feng believed that the upper echelons of the Pall Chamber of Commerce were all very smart. Before the outcome of the battle between him and the Roya Empire was determined, the Pall Chamber of Commerce would definitely not dare to have designs on those Auricles.
As more and more battleships appeared, Lin Feng rose into the air and flew into the universe. He was already a planetary lifeform. Fighting on a planet was too restrictive, unless he acted like a fiend paid no regard to the costs, and did not care about the situation on the planet.
However, he was not a fiend, so he could only fight to his heart's content in the universe.
Those battleships clearly knew this principle as well. Hence, they allowed Lin Feng to leave the Roya Imperial Planet and fly into the universe.
The commander of the Eleventh Fleet was a steadfast and valiant general, General Moro! Leading the fleet, he had defeated and even captured a few cosmic behemoths alive before.
Those cosmic behemoths were all devouring lifeforms. They had capriciously devoured planets one after another. They were hunted down by the Roya Empire, and eventually killed or captured alive. General Moro also became famed after this.
However, this was the first time General Moro was facing off a cultivator. The Roya Empire rarely clashed with cultivators. In particular, cultivators that were planetary lifeforms normally would not provoke the Roya Empire.
"Activate the planet annihilation cannons, lock onto the cultivator, and await orders." General Moro gave the orders methodically.
Although the Eleventh Fleet could not be considered the strongest fleet of the Roya Empire, there were a total of 300 planet annihilator battleships!
The very idea of 300 planet annihilator battleships was incredible. No planetary lifeform would readily fight with a fleet of the Roya Empire, because it was too dangerous.
With so many planet annihilator battleships, if the planet annihilation cannons fired at once, what planetary lifeform had the confidence to resist them?
This was the confidence of the Roya Empire. As the hegemon of the Roya Galaxy, the martial power of the Roya Empire had naturally reached its peak. No civilization around could contend with it.
Although the Roya Empire could only be considered a very weak civilization among the many galaxies, and did not even have weapons comparable to ultimate planetary lifeforms, for most planetary lifeforms, the Roya Empire was already sufficiently intimidating.
If not for the Auricles, Lin Feng would not have wanted to fight the Roya Empire head-on either.
But now, the arrow was already on the string. It had to be fired!
Boom.
Lin Feng's combat body expanded wildly. In an instant, it had already expanded to 130,000 kilometers. If Lin Feng had not left an avatar behind to protect the Auricles, Lin Feng's combat body would have reached 140,000 kilometers.
Even so, 130,000 kilometers was already terrifying enough. It was simply larger than any planet. Even a huge planet like the Roya Imperial Planet appeared slightly diminished compared to Lin Feng's current combat body.
The 130,000-kilometer combat body had a huge impact on all the Royan soldiers in the Eleventh Fleet. In a sense, the size of a cultivator often determined their strength.
The commander of the Eleventh Fleet of the Roya Empire, General Moro, had an extremely solemn expression at this moment.
Although he was not a cultivator, as a fleet commander, he naturally knew a lot about cultivators. He knew that ordinary planetary lifeforms only had combat bodies of 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers.
Those who could reach 30,000 were already very rare, and cultivators above 30,000 kilometers in combat body were definitely the cream of the crop among cultivators. As for cultivators with a combat body above 100,000 kilometers, General Moro had never heard of them.
"All battleships, fire!"
General Moro knew that once the cultivator opposite him used his combat body, a battle was inevitable. Hence, he immediately gave the order without any hesitation.
Among the hundreds of battleships, apart from the 300 planet annihilator battleships that were the main force, there were also thousands of other battleships. At this moment, they were all firing at full force. They locked onto Lin Feng and fired instantly.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
Dazzling lights seemed to flash across the pitch-black universe.
Lin Feng used the Tidal Combat Body, which had the strongest defense. His 130,000-kilometer combat body also erupted completely, and he even used the Law of Tides!
"Fight!" Lin Feng roared. His massive combat body was like the impact of a huge planet. With such a huge body, there was actually no need for any technique at all. Just crashing into it was enough to destroy battleships one after another.
No battleship could withstand a collision with Lin Feng's massive combat body.
When the terrifying planet annihilation cannons struck Lin Feng's combat body, he clearly felt his combat body shake slightly. Then, many cells were completely annihilated.
However, the strongest aspects of the Tidal Combat Body were its defensive and restorative abilities. The moment countless cells were annihilated, countless cells divided again.
Even the blast from hundreds of thousands of planet annihilation cannons only injured Lin Feng slightly.
A 130,000-kilometer combat body was unheard of. Moreover, there was the Law of Tides, which enhanced it by a hundredfold, making it equivalent to a combat body of more than 10 million kilometers. How terrifying was this?
Even among advanced planetary lifeforms, it would be considered outstanding.
At the very least, under the enhancement of Laws, Lin Feng's current defensive and restorative ability were no different from advanced planetary lifeforms. In fact, it was even stronger!
"Weak, weak, too weak. Is this the power of a technological civilization?"
When the battleship cannons stopped and the dust settled, Lin Feng felt the "damage" everywhere on his body. It could not even be considered light injuries. With the terrifying restorative ability of the Tidal Combat Body, these minor injuries were nothing.
This was Lin Feng's first battle since becoming a planetary lifeform. Even he himself had somewhat underestimated how formidable he was at this moment.
Even Lin Feng himself was surprised that he was uninjured. At this moment, the commander of the fleet, General Moro, had an extremely dark expression.
"Prepare the stellar particle cannon."
The stellar particle cannon was originally meant for intimidation only. They had not even intended to use it.
But now, seeing the terrifying cultivator in front of him, General Moro immediately gave the order without any hesitation. He was prepared to activate the Roya Empire's strongest strategic weapon—the stellar particle cannon!

Chapter 461: Suppressing the Empire
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The stellar particle cannon was the Roya Empire's strongest strategic weapon. With this stellar particle cannon, the Roya Empire could destroy stars, severely injure advanced planetary lifeforms, and intimidate all in the Roya Galaxy as the absolute hegemon of the Roya Galaxy.
General Moro made a prompt decision. After sensing that Lin Feng was not easy to deal with, he directly gave the order to activate the stellar particle cannon.
Boom.
A beast-like roar sounded. An extremely dazzling light, like the light emitted by a star, suddenly erupted from a battleship.
At this moment, this awe-inspiring and terrifying beam of light could be sensed within a radius of several light-years.
Even Lin Feng felt the threat immediately.
Lin Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed. Danger. He sensed intense danger, as if that beam of light was a death beam. Without a doubt, it must be a terrifying weapon that could injure advanced planetary lifeforms.
"Fight!"
Lin Feng did not retreat. So what if it could injure an advanced planetary lifeform? He could also use such a terrifying weapon to see his true strength. After all, ever since he had transitioned into a planetary lifeform, Lin Feng had yet to attack with his full strength. Even he himself did not know how strong he could be now.
The Law of Tides set off waves of tidal storms in the universe that swept towards the beam of light.
However, the beam of light easily pierced through the Tidal Combat Body and struck Lin Feng.
Boom.
A devastating power erupted in a frenzy. In an instant, Lin Feng felt as if his combat body was about to "vaporize", instantly disintegrate and turn to ashes.
This beam of light was far stronger than the planet annihilator cannons that Lin Feng had withstood previously. It instantly destroyed more than 50% of Lin Feng's combat body.
But that would be all.
If it were an ordinary advanced planetary lifeform, this beam of light might be enough to severely injure it. However, Lin Feng was enhanced by the Law of Tides, and the Tidal Combat Body excelled most at defense and restorative ability.
To Lin Feng, a combat body that was damaged by 50% was just an injury.
"So much for the Roya Empire's strongest strategic weapon!"
As the dust settled, a smile appeared on Lin Feng's lips. In his body, his cells were dividing wildly, and a large amount of star power was devoured by his body.
His combat body was recovering almost every moment. In the blink of an eye, it was almost completely recovered.
If they could not destroy a terrifying combat body like Lin Feng's instantaneously, it would be too difficult to maim Lin Feng.
Seeing that Lin Feng's combat body was still intact, General Moro's face turned ashen. There was a interval between stellar particle cannon shots. Normally, the interval would last one universal hour.
This was unless there were multiple stellar particle cannons. However, the Minister of War had only allocated one stellar particle cannon this time. It was not actually intended for actual combat, but for deterrence.
But now, even the stellar particle cannon was useless. What else could the Eleventh Fleet do?
Lin Feng did not hold back. His massive combat body had already charged near the fleet, and his huge palms swept across it.
Rumble.
Waves of flames soared into the sky, like stars lighting up in the universe. Lin Feng was like a tiger among a flock of sheep. At such a close distance, his combat body was completely unafraid of the attacks of those battleships' weaponry. In front of him, these battleships were instantly destroyed like toys.
A total of more than a thousand battleships were torn apart by Lin Feng's combat body in less than half an hour. Including General Moro's command ship, they were all annihilated!
Seeing this scene, the upper echelons of the Roya Empire were dumbfounded. Even the high and mighty emperor's face was ashen. That was the Eleventh Fleet. It had been thousands of years since the Roya Empire had suffered such a heavy blow. An entire fleet had been annihilated, and with the stellar particle cannon at that.
The Minister of War could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, although this cultivator is not an advanced planetary lifeform, he seems to be even more terrifying than ordinary advanced planetary lifeforms. He either has an Origin Weapon protecting him, or has comprehended powerful Laws. However, no matter what, our Roya Empire cannot afford to offend him!"
Not being able to afford offending someone was a very realistic problem. The Roya Empire might appear prestigious, and was the hegemon of a galaxy.
But how big was the Roya Galaxy?
Among the many surrounding galaxies, it could be considered one of the weakest. Having a weapon like the stellar particle cannon was already not bad. If an ultimate planetary lifeform came, the Roya Empire would surrender without even fighting.
And now, the Roya Empire also had to yield.
The emperor of the Roya Empire also said with some waning interest, "Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of War, I'll leave this matter to the two of you. Try your best to satisfy that cultivator's conditions."
Even though the emperor was a little dispirited, submitting to a powerful cultivator was very common in the universe. In the entire vast universe, cultivation civilizations were still dominant. For those powerful cultivators, just the one of them would be comparable to a powerful civilization.
Clearly, Lin Feng could be considered a powerful cultivator now. He could suppress an empire alone!
In the cosmos, Lin Feng's massive combat body of 130,000 kilometers overlooked the entire Roya Imperial Planet. The entire fleet had been annihilated. He believed that the Roya Empire already knew the choice.
Then, Lin Feng extended a palm and extended it directly into the atmosphere of the Roya Imperial Planet.
Boom.
The sky of the Roya Imperial Planet seemed to have darkened all of a sudden. All the people on the Roya Imperial Planet could only watch helplessly as a huge palm descended from the sky.
It made one feel powerless to resist. Even a finger was larger than a city.
"Is the world about to end?"
"Cultivator, this is a great cultivator!"
"The imperial fleet has been destroyed. Is the Roya Empire about to suffer an apocalypse?"
Panic was spreading. The people of the Roya Imperial Planet were already out of their wits. They were praying and crying. They did not know what they had done wrong to deserve such a terrible punishment.
Such a huge palm was simply apocalyptic. It could easily wipe out countless lives.
"No, no, impossible…"
Compared to the fear of the others, the executives of the Pall Chamber of Commerce were all pale. They could not believe the scene before their eyes.
How could the dignified Eleventh Fleet of the empire, which even had the stellar particle cannon, lose?
However, the empire had indeed lost, and they had lost badly, with almost no ability to resist. They had underestimated the cultivator in front of them.
If they had known that the Auricles were related to such a terrifying cultivator, no matter how great the profuts were, the Pall Chamber of Commerce would not have dared to capture the Auricles.
However, it was too late to say anything now.
The huge palm in the sky paused for a moment, then extended a small finger and pressed down hard on the building of the Pall Chamber of Commerce.
Boom.
The sky was torn apart and the earth shattered. It was like an apocalypse with falling meteors. Only the finger that blotted out the sky could be seen as it pressed down hard, and the Pall Chamber of Commerce building was instantly razed to the ground.

Chapter 462: Surrender
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Pall Chamber of Commerce was razed to the ground by a huge finger. Dust filled the air, and the ground was splitting apart, as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred. Countless people were praying, their eyes filled with pity.
However, more people knew that this was what the Pall Chamber of Commerce deserved. If the Pall Chamber of Commerce had not trafficked slaves, how could today's disaster have happened? It had even affected the entire Roya Imperial Planet.
At this moment, the building of the Pall Chamber of Commerce was destroyed, and an airship arrived in the air. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of War of the Roya Empire both sent Lin Feng a message to negotiate.
They wanted peace. They did not want any more war.
Lin Feng had never thought of destroying the entire Roya Empire. He was not a devouring lifeform, let alone a fiend. Destruction would not benefit him at all.
Moreover, the Roya Empire was not completely defenseless. The Eleventh Fleet only had one stellar particle cannon, but the number of stellar particle cannons stored in the Roya Empire might very well exceed three digits.
Hence, unless absolutely necessary, Lin Feng would not choose to fight the Roya Empire to the death. Of course, the Roya Empire was even more unwilling to fight Lin Feng. What was the use of winning?
The arrival of the Minister of War and the Minister of Foreign Affairs allowed Lin Feng to know the attitude of the Roya Empire. The Roya Empire was prepared to submit, and Lin Feng's conditions were very simple. He wanted them to try their best to retrieve the Auricles. As long as they had not been sold, they had to be delivered safely to Lin Feng.
Moreover, the Auricles had to be included in the rule of the Roya Empire. It sounded a little absurd. The Pall Chamber of Commerce in the Roya Empire had sold the Auricles as slaves, but now, Lin Feng was asking the remaining Auricles to accept the rule of the Roya Empire.
However, this might be the best arrangement for the Auricles. Once Planet Auricle officially became the territorial planet of the Roya Empire, the Auricles would automatically obtain the citizenship of the Roya Empire. They could also communicate freely in the Roya Galaxy, obtain all kinds of advanced technology and weapons, and slowly repopulate and cultivate.
One day, it would not be impossible for the Auricles to give birth to a planetary lifeform. Of course, it was also possible that under the impact of interstellar communication, Planet Auricle would be occupied by all kinds of civilized races, and the Auricles would slowly disappear in history.
This would depend on whether the Auricles could survive among countless species and civilizations.
Currently, this was the best arrangement for the Auricles. Otherwise, would the Auricles have to continue living in exile? That way, the Auricles might die out even faster.
In comparison, under the protection of the Roya Empire, they could enjoy safety in the universe.
The two ministers of the Roya Empire agreed to Lin Feng's conditions almost without hesitation. It was just one more territorial planet, and it would even be beneficial to the Roya Empire.
Under normal circumstances, the Roya Empire would not accept a backward civilization like the Auricles, which had not even entered the universe. However, just based on the relationship between the Auricles and a powerful cultivator like Lin Feng, they had no choice but to accept it.
This was also the best solution to the problem.
Lin Feng did not put away his combat body. He just stayed there quietly in the universe. Everyone on the Roya Imperial Planet felt as if a rock was pressing down on them. They knew that Lin Feng was putting pressure on the Roya Empire.
Lin Feng would not leave until the matter was completely resolved.
The Roya Empire quickly took action. They mobilized all kinds of forces and saved tens of thousands of Auricles in succession. However, that was all. Including those who had originally survived on the Auricles, the number of Auricles approached 300,000.
Three hundred thousand was far too little. The Auricles still had a long way to go before they could repopulate and prosper on Planet Auricle!
However, it was better than being annihilated. This was already the best outcome for the Auricles.
Next, Planet Auricle were included in the rule of the Roya Empire and became the territory of the Roya Empire. They would enjoy all kinds of benefits from the Roya Empire.
The Pall Chamber of Commerce took full accountability. From top to bottom, no one in its ranks escaped. It was said that the emperor was already furious and wanted to investigate the Pall Chamber of Commerce thoroughly.
When a wall is down, everyone kicks it. The other chambers of commerce also took advantage of the opportunity and quickly divided up the Pall Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, the Roya Empire had reorganized the major chambers of commerce. They cracked down on slave trade and strictly forbade slave trade.
Seeing the various actions of the Roya Empire, Lin Feng was also rather satisfied.
Although the Roya Empire was a technological civilization, it had also achieved overall peace under its rule and was very safe. Moreover, compared to other civilizations, the many civilized races under its rule all received relatively fair treatment.
Even Lin Feng had an idea to include his home planet in the territory of the Roya Empire. However, his home planet was too far away from the Roya Empire. This idea was a little unrealistic.
After Lin Feng had the Auricles settled, he bade farewell to the Auricles and embarked on the journey back to his home planet. Moreover, he had obtained a detailed cosmic map from the Roya Empire. With this cosmic map, Lin Feng could accurately find the location of his home planet even through spatial warp.
"Go!"
Lin Feng deployed the Void Traversal Combat Body and teleported instantly. He could travel as far as a hundred light-years, and his home planet was not as far as a hundred light-years from Planet Auricle.
Buzz.
Suddenly, a huge figure appeared in the quiet and dark cosmos.
Lin Feng warped out of the spatial passage at once. He scanned with his mental power. There was no planet around, but he clearly saw a familiar planet.
"My home planet!"
Lin Feng was slightly excited. He had finally found his home planet. Just like before, mental power could not detect his home planet at all. He could only find it with the naked eye.
It had been ten years since he left his home planet. In the past, Lin Feng had been busy cultivating and had not thought much about his home planet. However, now that he was so close to his home planet, many people appeared in his mind.
There were his parents, little sister, big brother, second brother, Qu Chen, and his son and daughter. When he left, his daughter was only 13 years old, and his son was only about 10 years old.
Now that ten years had passed, his son and daughter had probably already grown up.
In ten years, perhaps his home planet had developed considerably. Did anyone still remember him, the Sage of Salvation?
All kinds of chaotic thoughts echoed in Lin Feng's mind. He could not calm down for a long time.
After a long while, Lin Feng took a deep breath.
His return to his home planet this time was to bring his home planet completely into the universe, so that his home planet could communicate with the many civilizations in the universe. This way, his home planet would no longer remain stagnant, and could gradually integrate into the entire universe.
He did not want a tragedy like the Auricles' to happen on his home planet.
Hence, Lin Feng quickly shrank his body and prepared to enter his home planet. However, just as Lin Feng was about to enter his home planet, he realized that the Canopy outside his home planet was blocking him.
"I can't enter?"
Lin Feng's brows lifted. It was this Canopy again. It protected his home planet, but actually also entrapped it. Now, even Lin Feng's attempts to return to his home planet were impeded.

Chapter 463: "Crisis" on the Home Planet
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Back when Lin Feng left through the Canopy, he still had to rely on the Spear of Destruction. Now, he could no longer enter his home planet.
"Longbetham, how did you enter my home planet back then?"
Lin Feng did not act rashly. He remembered something strange. If the Canopy impeded entries, how had Longbetham's spaceship entered his home planet?
Could the Canopy selectively allow people entry?
Longbetham thought for a moment and said, "Back then, my energy was exhausted, and I was drifting in the universe. I found this planet and was captured by its gravity. Then, I successfully entered the planet."
"You didn't meet obstructions?"
"Everything went smoothly. I met no obstructions."
Hearing Longbetham's answer, Lin Feng frowned. If Longbetham could enter, why couldn't he? What was the difference between him and Longbetham?
Thinking of differences, there was actually a huge one. Lin Feng was a cultivator, and a planetary lifeform at that. Longbetham was only a mechanical lifeform, not a cultivator.
"Could this Canopy only stop cultivators?"
Lin Feng frowned. He separated a cell directly, and even separated all the power from this cell. It was just an ordinary person.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng's cell avatar actually entered his home planet without any resistance.
"As expected, the Canopy impedes cultivators."
A sharp glint flashed across Lin Feng's eyes. Why would the Canopy stop cultivators? Could there be some secret on the planet?
Who was the one who set up this Canopy? A powerful cultivator?
All of this seemed to be a mystery. The Canopy protected his home planet, but it also limited it. Without reaching the planetary level, one would be unable to leave the home planet, and it would be isolated from the universe.
Actually, this was very disadvantageous for cultivators.
"Now that I'm already a planetary lifeform, and have the ability to protect my home planet, the Canopy… is no longer needed!"
Lin Feng took a deep breath. This Canopy might protect his home planet, but it also limited it. Lin Feng already had the ability to protect his home planet, so he was not afraid that his home planet would be exposed to the universe.
Hence, Lin Feng used the Tidal Combat Body. The 140,000-kilometer Tidal Combat Body looked like a huge shadow that shielded his home planet.
His 140,000-kilometer combat body was far larger than his home planet. Lin Feng's hands suddenly extended into his home planet.
Immediately, the Canopy appeared, blocking Lin Feng's huge hand. However, Lin Feng's hands suddenly grabbed the Canopy and tore hard.
Rumble.
It was as if the entire planet was shaking. In an instant, even ordinary people inside the planet could feel the tremors. Although it was not to the extent of mountains collapsing and earth shattering, it was as if the end of the world had arrived. Everyone was uneasy.
On their home planet, some experts opened their eyes and looked at the sky.
They only saw two huge hands stretching across the universe, as if they were constantly attacking the Canopy above their home planet.
"An expert in the universe have discovered us."
"The end of the world is arriving. All Sages, head to the League of Guardians immediately to discuss countermeasures."
"We don't have the Sage of Salvation this time. We can only rely on ourselves!"
The auras of many experts appeared. All of them were experts with four life transitions. When Lin Feng left, there were only four Sages left, including himself. Apart from him, the other three were all martial Sages, and their strength was nothing much.
But now, Lin Feng had left his home planet for ten years.
In the past ten years, the number of cultivators on the home planet had increased exponentially. The cosmic cultivation methods passed down by Lin Feng had long become mainstream. Almost everyone cultivated cosmic cultivation methods and became combat body martial artists.
Combat body martial artists were the new cultivators on the home planet. In the past ten years, a total of 20 Sages with four life transitions had been born. This speed was simply incredible.
At this moment, among the 20 Sages who had undergone four life transitions, including the three remaining Martial Sages, a total of 23 Sages were gathered.
Almost all 20 combat body Sages were born in the League of Guardians. Now, there was only one faction on the entire home planet, and that was the League of Guardians.
"Everyone, an expert from the universe has descended. Our world is in imminent danger. We can only ask the Sage of Salvation to save our entire world now!"
"That's right. We jointly ask the Sage of Salvation to act."
"The Sage of Salvation won't just watch as the expert from the universe descend and destroy the entire world, right?"
Almost immediately, everyone thought of the Sage of Salvation, Lin Feng.
In the past ten years, although many experts had been born, the League of Guardians naturally heavily publicized the Sage of Salvation, Lin Feng. They practically made Lin Feng out to be an omnipotent savior.
However, for an entire ten years, the Sage of Salvation never made an appearance. The announcement to the public was that he was in seclusion.
Now that disaster had descended, and the entire world was in danger, everyone naturally thought of the Sage of Salvation again. They hoped that the Sage of Salvation could save the world again, just like ten years ago.
"Coming, coming."
Everyone looked expectantly at the few figures who walked out of the League of Guardians. Leading them was a graceful woman. She was the wife of the Sage of Salvation, Qu Chen, who had led the League of Guardians for ten years.
Although Qu Chen was not powerful, she had the authority of the League of Guardians. With her identity as the wife of the Sage of Salvation in addition, Qu Chen had no problem controlling the League of Guardians.
At this time, Qu Chen was already very experienced. Her gaze swept across the Sages present as she said in a somber voice, "How's the situation now?"
"The body of that expert from the universe is simply too massive. It's so massive that we can only observe two palms. Initial judgment is that he must be a planetary lifeform! He's continuously destroying the Canopy, trying to break it and descend upon our world."
"Can the Canopy stop that expert from the universe?"
"I'm afraid it's very difficult. We've analyzed the Canopy. Its maximum energy value is probably the power of six life transitions. In other words, planetary lifeforms should have the ability to destroy the Canopy."
Qu Chen nodded. The current situation was already very dire. Once the Canopy was destroyed, the entire world would face the same apocalypse as ten years ago.
No, it was even more terrifying than ten years ago!
Although combat body martial artists were already very strong, they had not even produced a cultivator with five life transitions, let alone contend with planetary lifeforms.
Looking at such huge two palms, they could easily destroy the entire world. With humanity's current strength, how could they resist those planetary lifeforms in the universe?
Even the methods Lin Feng had left behind were probably useless.
"Alliance Leader, can you ask for the Sage of Salvation to act? Only the Sage of Salvation can hope to resolve this crisis now."
Everyone looked at Qu Chen expectantly. Perhaps the Sage of Salvation was the last hope in their hearts.

Chapter 464: Returning to the Home Planet
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Sage of Salvation…"
Qu Chen fell silent. While everyone placed their hope on the Sage of Salvation, her heart was filled with incomparable sorrow.
How could there still be a Sage of Salvation? Deep down, she also wished that the Sage of Salvation was still around.
Seeing everyone's expectant gazes, Qu Chen knew that she could not conceal it anymore. This was a matter of life and death for the entire world.
"The Sage of Salvation left the planet ten years ago and headed for the universe. Therefore, you won't be able to ask for the Sage of Salvation…"
As soon as Qu Chen finished speaking, everyone's eyes widened.
For a moment, the entire conference hall of the League of Guardians was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
"The Sage of Salvation has long left?"
"Yes, he left ten years ago."
Qu Chen's tone was still calm, but everyone understood that the Sage of Salvation, Lin Feng, might really have left…
"The Sage of Salvation has left. What should we do?"
Many people lowered their heads in agony. It was not that they had become dependent on Lin Feng. After Lin Feng stopped making appearances, these combat body martial artists also often went to clear up dire beasts, and even greater demons.
All the greater demons had been subdued by these combat body martial artists. In the end, they even specially reserved an area for the dire beasts to live and reproduce. It was actually a training ground for the combat body martial artists.
Without Lin Feng, the combat body martial artists could also develop rapidly. As long as they were given time, a planetary lifeform might really be born among them.
However, they did not have time. The powerful lifeform in the universe were just outside their home planet. They were already out of time.
Rumble.
Suddenly, the entire world seemed to be shaking. Everyone looked up and realized that the Canopy that had been enveloping the world was actually shaking violently now. Then, a hole was forcefully torn open.
"The Canopy has been broken…"
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and their eyes were filled with despair.
…
In the universe, Lin Feng's 140,000-kilometer combat body erupted completely. How terrifying was his strength? In particular, with the enhancement of the Law of Tides, he was almost equivalent to an advanced planetary lifeform.
As he tore down with all his might, the Canopy on his home planet shook violently. Then, it finally could not withstand it anymore and reached its limit. A hole was torn open in it at once.
"I've finally torn open the Canopy!"
Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief. This Canopy was too mysterious. Moreover, it had enveloped his home planet for countless years. Lin Feng was actually not confident that he could tear it apart.
Fortunately, the Canopy also had its limits. It seemed that ordinary elementary planetary lifeforms could not tear through the Canopy. Lin Feng had to rely on the enhancement of the Law of Tides to tear through the Canopy in one fell swoop.
Without the Canopy, star power would pour down. Perhaps the entire planet would undergo a tremendous change.
Lin Feng looked at his home planet. His emotions were in turmoil. He could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. With a flash, he had already transformed into his normal size and returned to his home planet.
…
When the Canopy was torn apart, all the Sages in the League of Guardians had heavy hearts. Perhaps they were about to see another Armageddon. In the previous crisis of Armageddon, many people were far from developing to this level, and did not know the terror of the Armageddon yet. However, only the Sage of Salvation at that time could resolve the crisis of Armageddon.
Without the Sage of Salvation this time, who else could they rely on?
"It's broken. The Canopy has been broken."
The expressions of the many Sages were solemn. Even though the worst outcome had occurred, they were Sages, the guardians of all humanity. Even if this was an Armageddon, they had to face it head-on.
However, just as everyone was in a heavy mood, the behemoth in the universe suddenly seemed to have disappeared.
"Disappeared?"
Everyone was slightly stunned. How did it disappear? They had seen that huge body just now. Why did it suddenly disappear now?
"No, he didn't disappear. He… he's already entered!"
As expected, with some advanced surveillance equipment, one could already see a fireball descending from the sky. Moreover, unlike ordinary meteors, it could actually slow down.
"A lifeform from the universe has entered the planet. Everyone, prepare to fight to the death."
All the Sages left the League of Guardians one after another. They stood in the air and watched the flames closely.
The trajectory of the ball of fire could not be deduced, but judging from the direction, it was actually heading towards the area of the League of Guardians.
As expected, not long after, the ball of flames descended. Everyone's expression was solemn. No one would underestimate this ball of flames after they saw that terrifying figure in the universe just now.
However, when the ball of flames arrived above the League of Guardians, it stopped all of a sudden. Then, the dust dissipated, revealing a figure.
When they saw this figure, the expressions of Qu Chen, Zhang Qiji, and the others, who were originally in the hall of the League of Guardians, froze.
Then, Qu Chen rushed out of the door all of a sudden.
"Lin Feng!"
"Brother Feng!"
Qu Chen's face was already covered in tears, and Zhang Qiji was so excited that he could not control himself. The only three remaining martial Sages among the Sages also laughed loudly.
The others, on the other hand, wore confused expressions. Even though they knew about Lin Feng and the Sage of Salvation, they would never have associated this "cosmic visitor" with Lin Feng.
Only after the three martial Sages explained did all the Sages come to a realization.
"So it's the Sage of Salvation!"
"That terrifying body in the universe just now was the combat body of the Sage of Salvation? It's just too terrifying. Such a combat body is probably far from what even five life transitions can achieve."
"It's not just five life transitions. If I'm not wrong, the Sage of Salvation should be a planetary lifeform with six life transitions!"
"A planetary lifeform?"
All the Sages' eyes were filled with shock. They had only learned about planetary lifeforms from the combat body cultivation method Lin Feng had imparted.
However, none of them had seen a planetary lifeform before. They did not even understand the concept of a planetary lifeform.
Now, Lin Feng's return gave them hope. If Lin Feng was really a planetary lifeform, that would basically be their future direction.
"Chenchen, Qiji, it's been hard on you." Lin Feng began saying slowly. Once he started, no one doubted him anymore.
They had thought that it was a visitor from the universe, an Armageddon crisis. They did not expect it to be the return of the Sage of Salvation.
The crisis was resolved. Seeing that Lin Feng had just returned, the Sages were also very understanding and left early, leaving only Lin Feng and Qu Chen.
At this moment, a trace of gentleness appeared on Qu Chen's face. It had been ten years. She had long since changed a lot. She was in charge of the League of Guardians, and had become a great figure of authority.
But now, it was as if she had become an ordinary woman again. Only in front of Lin Feng would she show her tender side.
"Let's go back. You can tell me all about the changes in the past ten years."
Lin Feng held Qu Chen's hand gently, and his tone was incomparably soft.

Chapter 465: Seeking Benefits for the Family
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The return of the Sage of Salvation caused an uproar in the entire world.
Previously, the League of Guardians had concealed the truth. The Sage of Salvation did not enter seclusion, but left the planet and entered the universe. Ten years later, the Sage of Salvation returned.
Where had the Sage of Salvation gone in the past ten years?
Had he encountered people from other planets? Were there civilizations on other planets? How were their technological levels? Were there powerful cultivators?
Countless people were incomparably curious. Almost immediately after this news was exposed, everyone in the world paid attention to this news.
However, one day, two days, three days…
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed, but there was still no news from the Sage of Salvation.
The Sage of Salvation, Lin Feng, who was the focus of the world's attention, was returning to Central Sea City with his family at this moment.
Lin Feng's daughter, Lin Xin, his son, Lin Sheng, and his wife, Qu Chen, had all returned to Central Sea City. His eldest brother, second brother, and little sister had also returned home.
Many things had happened to Lin Feng in the past ten years. Many things had actually happened to his family as well.
For example, his second brother Lin Hai and younger sister Lin Qian were both already married.
Lin Hai's wife was also a martial artist, and a combat body martial artist at that. She was also a soldier, valiant and heroic, and looked natural and poised. However, she was a little reserved in front of Lin Feng.
Although there were still his parents, in the entire family, Lin Feng, the Sage of Salvation, undoubtedly had the highest status.
His youngest sister, Lin Qian, was much more lively. Even though she was already married, she was still like the little girl from before in front of Lin Feng. Lin Qian's husband, on the other hand, surprised Lin Feng a little.
Lin Qian was such a lively person, yet she actually chose a quiet and reserved "scholar" as her partner. Lin Feng's brother-in-law was not a martial artist or a government official, but a scientist. He was young, but he was already a star in the academic world, and his future achievements would be considerable.
Although it was somewhat unexpected to Lin Feng, he was very happy.
His family did not need to climb up the social ladder, because the Lin family was already the top family in the entire world. No matter who they married, the other party would be the one "climbing the social ladder". He only hoped that his family would be happy with their own choices.
Lin Feng's parents were already old. They could not undergo life transitions on the home planet.
However, this was not a big problem. Lin Feng had brought back many miraculous items from the Divine Palace. He could allow his parents to undergo life transitions, even through sheer force. Of course, they could only undergo two or three life transitions at most this way.
After all, his parents' potential had been exhausted. Allowing them to undergo a life transition and live for a longer period of time was already the limit of Lin Feng's abilities.
"Dad, Mom, these are miraculous items I brought back from the universe. If you use them, you will definitely be able to undergo a life transition!"
Lin Feng took out these miraculous items. Apart from Qu Chen, Lin Xin, and Lin Sheng, everyone was shocked.
"Can these really allow life transitions without cultivation?"
Mr. Lin was a little confused. Although he did not practice martial arts or cultivate, the entire world had already entered a cultivation era. Under this influence, he also knew how difficult it was to undergo a life transition.
There were many people who underwent life transitions in the present, especially the League of Guardians. As far as the eye could see, all of them were experts of life transitions. However, in reality, according to absolute numbers, those few people were insignificant compared to the number of people in the whole world.
"Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry. This type of miraculous item is very rare even in the universe. After you use it, there won't be much of any side effects. The only side effect might be exhausting your potential, and never being able to improve further."
Actually, how could this side effect be considered any side effect for Mr. and Mrs. Lin? Without these miraculous items, they could not even achieve one life transition, and potential was irrelevant.
Being able to undergo a life transition and live for a few hundred more years was already a great joy for Mr. and Mrs. Lin.
Seeing that this type of precious miraculous items could help ordinary people undergo life transitions, everyone's eyes lit up. His eldest brother Lin Yong, his eldest brother's wife, his sister Lin Qian, Lin Qian's husband—even his second brother's wife was very envious.
All of them revealed looks of anticipation. They had not broken the genetic lock and could not undergo life transitions. If they could obtain these miraculous items, they could undergo life transitions and extend their lifespans. Who wouldn't be envious?
However, no one spoke. After all, even Lin Feng had mentioned that these miraculous items were very precious in the universe. They did not know if there were any more.
Perhaps only this small amount of miraculous items was available, and they were just enough for Mr. and Mrs. Lin.
Lin Feng glanced at his sister and the others. After a moment of silence, he said, "I didn't bring that many miraculous items, but it's enough for the few of you. Actually, you'll have a chance to come into contact with these precious miraculous items in the future too."
With that, Lin Feng gave his sister and the others the miraculous items and asked them to use them immediately. This was also to prevent them from being distributed. Although Lin Feng was not afraid of trouble, he would not be too casual if he could avoid trouble.
The entire family began to undergo metamorphosis in the Lin household.
The first to undergo metamorphosis was his second brother's wife. After all, she was a soldier. Although she could not rely on herself to attain a life transition, she was still a peak professional martial artist, one step away from breaking the genetic lock.
Hence, after consuming the miraculous item, she took a very short period of time to undergo a life transition. Moreover, with her potential, she might even be able to undergo three life transitions. The effect was quite good.
Next was his eldest brother's wife and his sister, Lin Qian. The two of them underwent life transitions almost simultaneously.
Only after them did Lin Qian's husband follow, and finally, Lin Feng's parents. The two of them were a little aged, after all, and their potential was inferior to young people. Hence, it took them a long time to undergo a life transition.
After the two of them underwent a life transition, they seemed to have become ten or twenty years younger. They looked radiant and felt full of energy.
If Lin Feng continued to provide miraculous items in the future, his parents might really have a chance of undergoing three life transitions, and living for hundreds of years would not be a problem.
"How… How miraculous!"
Mr. Lin looked at himself in the mirror in disbelief. He extended his hand, and his fair hand did not look like an old man's at all. He finally understood why so many people were willing to cultivate.
This feeling was too wonderful.
Having allowed his family to break the genetic lock and live a long life, Lin Feng also heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally fulfilled a wish. He did not want to return from a seclusion in the universe in the future, only to find that his parents and family had left one after another.
Moreover, although he only had these miraculous items now and could only allow his parents to undergo one or two life transitions, if he became a galactic lifeform or even a universal lifeform in the future, would there not be other ways to elevate his parents and family to planetary lifeforms?
That would almost mean eternal life.
This might be a little selfish, but without such "selfishness" in Lin Feng, why would cultivators have the motivation to cultivate?
Seeking benefits for the people around them was also one of the goals of cultivators.

Chapter 466: Entering the Universe
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Third Brother, I heard that you went to the universe for ten years. What is the universe like? Where did you go? Tell us."
Lin Qian blinked in excitement.
Mr. Lin also chuckled and said, "That's right, Feng'er. We don't know what the universe is like either. Why don't you tell us briefly about everything you've seen and heard in the universe over the years?"
Lin Feng looked around. Even his wife, Qu Chen, nodded. Although he had briefly told his wife about things in the universe during this period of time, he had not told the whole story yet.
Since his family was so curious, Lin Feng naturally did not mind introducing the entire universe to them.
"The universe is filled with opportunities and dangers…"
Lin Feng talked about everything from the moment he left his home planet until he went to the Divine Palace of Bemond and returned. He basically explained everything about the Auricles, the Roya Empire, the Divine Palace, the fiends, and so on.
Everyone felt as if they were following Lin Feng and experiencing all these cosmic wonders themselves.
After the explanation, everyone fell silent, as if sorting out the information Lin Feng had revealed.
Danger was indeed lurking in the universe, especially those dangerous fiends. Once a fiend came to their home planet, it would probably be the end of their home planet.
There was also the Auricles. Their fate was truly fraught. If they had not met Lin Feng, they would probably have been annihilated.
After a long while, Mr. Lin heaved a long sigh and said, "Feng'er, the universe is so dangerous. You mean to let humanity enter the universe and come into contact with the civilizations in the universe, right? It's just like the Auricles. Although their fate was full of hardships, they were ultimately brought under the rule of the Roya Empire. In fact, they could be considered to have entered the universe, and their situation would become safe."
"That's right. Humanity has to go out. Otherwise, if we remain stagnant, once we encounter fiends, devouring lifeforms, or other crises, humanity will be in great danger. If we want to avoid danger, the solution is very simple. We have to become stronger! Only by becoming stronger can humanity and our home planet be safe."
Actually, Lin Feng had more considerations. His home planet could not hide under the Canopy forever. Moreover, the Canopy had been torn apart now, so his home planet would be easily discovered.
The human civilization on their home planet had to leave their home planet, connect with the universe, and gradually improve itself. In the future, when the technology of their home planet improved, or when a second planetary lifeform and a third planetary lifeform were born among cultivators, the human civilization itself might become a powerful civilization comparable to the Roya Empire. Then, what danger would there be?
After staying in the Lin family for a few days, Lin Feng returned to the League of Guardians.
Now, be it his eldest brother, second brother, or little sister, they all had their own families. Even Lin Feng himself had his own family.
Lin Xin and Lin Sheng were Lin Feng's son and daughter. Lin Sheng was only 20 years old, but he had perfectly inherited Lin Feng's "genes". It had to be known that when Lin Feng gave birth to Lin Xin and Lin Sheng, he had already undergone five life transitions, and his genes were unprecedentedly powerful.
Lin Sheng was also talented without a match. He had already broken the genetic lock at the age of 12, undergone two life transitions at the age of 15, and three life transitions at the age of 19.
He was already slowly attempting to break through to the fourth life transition. Once he succeeded, he would be a Sage, and the youngest Sage of humanity at that. Even Lin Feng from back then could not compare to him.
Although Lin Xin's talent was slightly inferior to Lin Sheng's, she was still very strong. She broke the genetic lock at the age of 13, had already undergone two life transitions at the age of 17, and three life transitions at the age of 22.
Both of them had undergone three life transitions. Now, they were preparing for the fourth life transition. The two of them were even secretly competing to see who could undergo four life transitions first.
Although the two of them had not seen their father, Lin Feng, in the past ten years, they were no strangers to him at all. They both took pride in Lin Feng and saw him as a role model.
After Lin Feng returned, he also specially gave the two of them some pointers. He believed that the two of them would probably be able to undergo four life transitions in two years.
As for how far they could go in the future, it would depend on their own opportunities.
A month after Lin Feng returned to his home planet, he finally made a move. In the name of the Sage of Salvation, he gathered all the Sages and the top elites of the various worlds.
Everyone was gathered in the League of Guardians. Lin Feng had something very important to announce to the elites of various worlds.
This grand occasion received the attention of the global media. Lin Feng did not stop these media reports. On the contrary, he encouraged the media's involvement. This made everyone feel that the Sage of Salvation was probably going to make a big move this time.
In the League of Guardians, everyone invited by Lin Feng had solemn expressions.
On the big screen, Lin Feng asked Longbetham to organize some information on the cosmos. It introduced fiends, technological civilizations, and cultivation civilizations in detail. He even announced the function of the Canopy.
Hence, everyone understood the dire situation humanity was facing now. Their home planet was no longer protected, and might very well be discovered by various civilizations or powerful lifeforms in the universe.
Humanity was in danger!
Of course, with the Sage of Salvation Lin Feng overseeing his home planet for now, there would be no danger for the time being. However, what about in the future? Lin Feng would leave eventually. Moreover, the home planet and humanity could not rely on the Sage of Salvation alone.
The human civilization must be self-reliant!
This was what Lin Feng wanted to convey. Human civilization had to improve itself. Since it had to improve itself, it had to enter the universe and communicate with other civilizations.
Moreover, Lin Feng showed the information on the planet annihilation cannons. This was even more of a bombshell. It made the few scientists present extremely excited. They wished they could check this information immediately.
The meeting was a success. No one objected to leaving the universe. Even the most foolish person knew that if they did not communicate with other civilizations, their home planet would be isolated. How would technology develop? Cultivation also required resources, and those resources were all in the universe. The human civilizations had to fight for them themselves.
The conference confirmed the strategic decision for human civilization to step out of the universe. Then, there were some details. For example, there was no cosmic map near their home planet. Apart from the cosmic map in the direction of the Roya Empire, the cosmic maps of surrounding regions all required exploration by the human civilization.
Moreover, spaceships were indispensable if one wanted to leave for the universe. This all required technological development. Cultivation civilizations also needed technology. Only with technology could cultivation be faster.
All of this would take time.
Time was the last thing Lin Feng lacked now. He had returned to his home planet this time to help his home planet integrate into the universe. He could stay on his home planet for decades.
He just needed to return to the Divine Palace of Bemond before the Big Bang.
Lin Feng had separated an avatar with a 20,000-kilometer combat body on his home planet, which was comparable to many planetary lifeforms! Moreover, the avatar also had comprehension of the three Laws. Hence, the combat power of this avatar would be very powerful, on par with advanced planetary lifeforms.
After leaving this avatar behind, Lin Feng felt that there was no more annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction. It would be a pity to give up on this Origin Weapon just like that. He left his home planet with his true body, and prepared to find a star to extract annihilative power from and replenish the Spear of Destruction.
The scientific world on his home planet did detect a few stars, all of which were very distant. However, Lin Feng could warp space. Such distances were nothing.
Hence, after bidding farewell to his family, Lin Feng left his home planet with his true body. He tore open space and warped towards the first star.

Chapter 467: Stellar Lifeform
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Buzz.
A huge spatial crack appeared, and a terrifying planet-like figure slowly walked out.
This figure was naturally Lin Feng. He teleported directly to the star about three light-years away from his home planet.
Of course, there were actually closer stars that were not even a light-year apart. However, the light and heat emitted by that star were very important to his home planet. While Lin Feng needed the annihilative power in a star, he could not affect his home planet.
This star three light-years away was just right. It was far enough away. Even if it disappeared, it would not affect his home planet much.
This was also the first time Lin Feng had seen a star at such a close distance. He quickly transformed into the Greater Annihilative Combat Body, and traces of annihilative power brewed in his combat body.
It was not too easy to replenish the annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction. Ordinary elementary planetary lifeforms might not even be able to approach a star.
It had to be known that the light and heat emitted by stars were lethal even to elementary planetary lifeforms. Only advanced planetary lifeforms could ignore or resist the light and heat of stars.
Even if Lin Feng only used the Greater Annihilative Combat Body, he could easily resist the light and heat of a star. The Law of Annihilation enhanced Lin Feng's Greater Annihilative Combat Body by a hundredfold, far surpassing ordinary advanced planetary lifeforms. Why would he be wary around an ordinary star?
As Lin Feng approached the star, he could also see the full appearance of the star clearly.
This was a star in its "prime". The light and heat it emitted were very terrifying, radiating through the surrounding cosmos. Often, a star could give birth to some planets with life nearby. Once the star was destroyed, it would have almost devastating consequences for those planets with life.
Although Lin Feng needed to replenish the annihilative powe, if the necessity to destroy a star caused serious consequences, it would be too late for Lin Feng to regret it.
If he destroyed stars at will, causing countless inhabited planets to fall into desperation, wouldn't he be no different from fiends?
Hence, Lin Feng specially warped in all directions surrounding the star for the range of one light-year. He searched carefully to see if there were any inhabited planets.
Beyond one light-year, the effect of this star would basically be negligible.
For a cultivator like Lin Feng who could warp through space, he only needed a very short period of time to check the situation within a light-year of his surroundings.
Lin Feng did not discover any planets with life, so he could rest assured. Hence, Lin Feng continued to approach the star. In his eyes, the star was becoming larger and larger. From the looks of it, the diameter of this star was between a million kilometers and two million kilometers.
This was just a very ordinary star. However, even very ordinary stars were indeed massive in Lin Feng's eyes. They were at least ten times larger than Lin Feng's current combat body.
"The annihilative power of a star!"
Lin Feng held the Spear of Destruction in his hand. The Spear of Destruction seemed to be a little "excited" as well. Even though it was already very close to the star, the terrifying heat could not do anything to Lin Feng and the Spear of Destruction.
"Eh?"
Just as Lin Feng was about to unleash his combat body to destroy the star and extract the annihilative power, he suddenly sensed a faint fluctuation of life in this star.
Could life also be born in stars?
"Longbetham, can life possibly be born in stars?"
Lin Feng simply asked Longbetham about it. This was within the scope of "science". Longbetham should know.
"Master, stars are all burning celestial bodies. The temperature is terrifyingly high. Even within the scope of the universe, there are very few stellar lifeforms, let alone intelligent lifeforms. However, there are all kinds of strange things in the universe. Even our mechanical civilization cannot guarantee that life definitely cannot be born in stars."
Lin Feng frowned, clearly not satisfied with Longbetham's answer.
Normally, there were more than 100 billion stars in a galaxy. For example, there were even more than 300 billion stars in the Bemond Galaxy.
Moreover, stars were being destroyed and born at every moment.
Even among so many stars, no life was found among them.
However, nothing was absolute, let alone in the vast universe. Perhaps it was not impossible for certain special lifeforms to have an affinity to the environment on stars, but the probability was just too low.
Lin Feng had vaguely sensed the aura of life in this star just now. This was simply incredible.
Since Longbetham did not know either, Lin Feng would investigate it himself. He transformed his combat body into the Tidal Combat Body. In terms of survivability, the Tidal Combat Body was undoubtedly stronger. If he encountered any accidents, the Tidal Combat Body would be enough to deal with them.
The massive combat body began to slowly approach the star. Finally, the entire combat body entered the star.
Lin Feng's combat body was equivalent to about a tenth of a star. It was actually very huge. As soon as he entered the star, it blotted out everything. Terrifying flames constantly burned Lin Feng's combat body, but with the enhancement of the Law of Tides, Lin Feng's combat body was far more formidable than ordinary advanced planetary lifeforms.
Hence, this bit of flames was nothing.
Lin Feng's mental power began to sweep around, searching for that faint trace of life aura just now.
Buzz.
Suddenly, Lin Feng's mental power seemed to have found something.
Swoosh.
Without any warning, the infinite flames actually began to condense into a huge fire bird. This fire bird had three legs, and its entire body was covered in flames. Its body was about a thousand kilometers in size.
More importantly, Lin Feng sensed the aura of life from this firebird.
"Longbetham, what is this?"
Lin Feng was slightly shocked. There was really life on the star, and so massive at that. This was unbelievable.
"Master, checking for information!"
After a while, Longbetham said in surprise, "Master, I have found it. This is the legendary Three-legged Golden Crow, a mythical divine bird from many civilizations. It is born in stars, and is a very powerful lifeform that is innately comparable to beings with five life transitions!"
"However, this Three-legged Golden Crow is very rare in the entire universe. At least, it doesn't exist in the Bemond Galaxy. Hence, many people even think that this is a legend. I did not expect the Three-legged Golden Crow to really exist."
Longbetham was also very excited. They had actually encountered a legendary lifeform. Their luck was too good. Even if they just captured it for research, it would still be very valuable.
Buzz.
Lin Feng was not very optimistic, however, because he realized that the flames in the entire star seemed to be wavering. Immediately after, Three-legged Golden Crows appeared one after another.
Huge Three-legged Golden Crows were born within the flames. Each of them was about a thousand kilometers long, and densely packed together. There were about nine Three-legged Golden Crows.
Moreover, the nine Three-legged Golden Crows were lined up in a circle, staring intently at Lin Feng with a "warning" look in their eyes.
After all, in their eyes, Lin Feng was colossal.

Chapter 468: Golden Crow
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Interesting. They are on guard?"
Lin Feng developed a great interest in this kind of legendary lifeforms. They could live in stars, and grow to such a massive size on top of that.
Ordinary elementary planetary lifeforms were probably unable to deal with these Three-legged Golden Crows. After all, this was a stellar environment with unique advantages. Ordinary elementary planetary lifeforms could not even enter stars.
Lin Feng extended a palm. It was overwhelming and incomparably huge, almost enveloping the sky. The Three-legged Golden Crows, a thousand kilometers in size, were simply insignificant as tiny toys in Lin Feng's eyes.
All the Three-legged Golden Crows seemed to have sensed the aura of danger. Loud cries sounded throughout the entire star. Immediately after, the flames on the bodies of the nine Three-legged Golden Crows erupted again, and they vaguely connected.
"This is…?"
Before Lin Feng's eyes, the nine Three-legged Golden Crows actually joined forces. The flames blazed, and finally fused together. Originally, there were nine Golden Crows, each a thousand kilometers long. With the nine of them added together, it would be at least 9,000 kilometers. It was just a little short of 10,000 kilometers, which was equivalent to a planetary lifeform.
However, the nine Golden Crows fused as one went beyond their bodies added up together. Rather, their bodies instantly surged and expanded, vaguely forming an extremely massive and terrifying Golden Crow. Its entire body burned with infernal flames, as if it was born from the flames, transforming into a cosmic behemoth.
The "behemoth" formed from the fusion of the nine Golden Crows had a huge body of about 20,000 kilometers. It stretched out across the star, its entire body enveloped in fearsome flames, a terrifying lifeform born from the star.
"Interesting. The nine Golden Crows can actually fuse to form a behemoth comparable to an elementary planetary lifeform? This kind of joint attack method is not just innate…"
Lin Feng grew more and more interested. He was certain that the method used by the nine Golden Crows to fuse was definitely not innate. It should be some kind of technique, a technique that only cultivators knew.
Did this star have a cultivator?
Lin Feng did not know, but these nine Golden Crows were definitely related to a cultivator.
If he were an ordinary elementary planetary lifeform, these nine Golden Crows might be enough to deal with him. However, Lin Feng was a planetary lifeform that had comprehended Laws.
The fusion of the nine Golden Crows was indeed powerful, and in the uniquely advantageous environment of the star, the nine Golden Crows would only be stronger. However, to Lin Feng, this was nothing.
"Seal!"
Lin Feng still slammed down with one hand. His palm expanded several times at once, and collided fiercely with the massive bodies of the nine Golden Crows.
Boom.
It was as if the entire star was shaking. How terrifying was Lin Feng's strike? Even ordinary advanced planetary lifeforms could not withstand it easily, let alone the merged body of nine Golden Crows.
For a moment, the huge Golden Crow phantom dissipated. The nine Golden Crows fell into the depths of the star and were captured by Lin Feng one by one. This was after Lin Feng held back because he wanted to study these nine Golden Crows. Otherwise, how could these nine Golden Crows withstand a single strike from Lin Feng?
After Lin Feng sealed the nine Golden Crows, he let the nine Golden Crows struggle. He used his mental power to communicate with the Golden Crows, but he realized that these Golden Crows could not communicate. They just kept struggling.
Lin Feng simply ignored the nine Golden Crows and continued to venture deeper into the star.
There must be a mysterious cultivator behind these nine Golden Crows, or there must be some secret behind it. Lin Feng had already seen the method the nine Golden Crows used to merge. This was not a method that ordinary cultivators could possess.
As Lin Feng went deeper into the star, the flames he sensed became more and more terrifying, but he felt that the star seemed to be collapsing.
That's right, the star was already collapsing. However, this collapse did not seem to be natural. Instead, it was collapsing from the inside out.
Moreover, there seemed to be a daunting energy hidden in the most terrible flames in the depths of the star core.
"There's something deep in the star core!"
Lin Feng's eyes lit up. Could the nine Golden Crows be guarding here because of something deep within the star?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. Hence, Lin Feng made another grab.
"Open!"
How terrifying was the power of Lin Feng's combat body when unleashed at full force? Even a star could not resist it.
Rumble.
The star shook violently. Then, Lin Feng saw that there was actually a huge and fiery red pearl buried in the depths of the star. It seemed to be absorbing the infinite flames in the star.
"An Origin Weapon?"
Lin Feng was shocked. This was an Origin Weapon. Seeing this pearl, he no longer had any doubts. The Three-legged Golden Crows and this pearl must have been created by a cultivator.
Who had the ability to use a star to refine an Origin Weapon?
This was probably a cultivator at least above the level of an advanced planetary lifeform.
"Could it be related to the home planet?"
Lin Feng thought of the Canopy on his home planet, and the Spear of Destruction on his home planet. He had also fused some of the Leviathan's memories. All of this indicated that there had once been a terrifying cultivator on his home planet.
Now, legendary lifeforms like the Three-legged Golden Crows had been discovered on this star. There was also a pearl hidden in the depths of the star, but there was no sign of a cultivator.
Lin Feng could not help but suspect the relationship between that mysterious cultivator and his home planet.
This pearl contained the terrifying power of flames. As long as it was placed in a star, it could continuously absorb the power in the star.
Lin Feng realized that the star was collapsing. It was precisely because this pearl was constantly absorbing the flaming power of the star that the star was collapsing faster.
In the end, it would be completely destroyed. This method of refining Origin Weapons was quite rare. It took too long, and was far less simple and crude compared to the Spear of Destruction.
When Lin Feng grabbed the pearl from the star, in the distant and cold universe, an incredibly handsome man in a golden robe and with a head of long, fiery red hair suddenly opened his eyes.
"There's movement at the first Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire!"
The handsome man's aura exuded slightly, raising a storm in the void.
Then, the handsome man used his combat body. His body kept expanding like a nebula, with no end in sight. Even the star not far away paled in comparison to such a massive combat body.
With a slight move of the combat body, it was as if the distant stars were stirred. Then, this extremely massive combat body disappeared into the cold and dark universe, advancing rapidly in a certain direction.
…
Lin Feng obtained the pearl and caught the legendary Three-legged Golden Crows. Although the star in front of him had shaken violently just now, it showed no signs of destruction.
However, Lin Feng still decided to destroy the star and extract the annihilative power to replenish the annihilative power in the Spear of Destruction as soon as possible.
However, before he could attack, the sealed Three-legged Golden Crows suddenly struggled violently. Moreover, the pearl in Lin Feng's hand seemed to have detected something, and was shaking slightly.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng abruptly turned around and looked towards the depths of the universe.

Chapter 469: Cosmic Cultivator
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Rumble.
From the depths of the universe, it was as if a terrifying force was "crashing" towards the star at high speed. Even Lin Feng felt an immense threat.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng rushed out of the star immediately and used the Tidal Combat Body. The 120,000-kilometer Tidal Combat Body blotted out the sky and stretched across the universe. For the first time, his expression appeared so solemn.
This was because he saw the figure in the depths of the universe. It was simply too massive. Even a star was like a toy before that massive figure.
"An advanced planetary lifeform!"
Lin Feng enunciated each word clearly and said in a low voice. He could tell at a glance that the figure in front of him was at least 10 million kilometers in size, equivalent to ten stars.
He was clearly a mysterious cosmic cultivator!
Moreover, the other party must be a peak cultivator among advanced planetary lifeforms. Just his combat body of more than 10 million kilometers was almost suffocating. Even Lin Feng felt the pressure.
Apart from Divine King Bemond, this was the strongest cultivator Lin Feng had encountered since he transformed into a planetary lifeform.
"You're the one who touched my Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire?"
This unfamiliar advanced planetary lifeform transmitted a mental power.
"Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire?"
Lin Feng thought of the pearl he had obtained in the depths of the star. Could it be the Origin Weapon refined by this advanced planetary lifeform cultivator in front of him?
"Hmph!"
Lin Feng did not answer, and the other party could not be bothered to inquire further.
Boom.
The massive combat body reached out and smashed down.
The combat between lifeforms above the planetary level was actually very simple. It was a competition of combat bodies. Whoever had the stronger combat body would basically win.
Of course, there were also factors such as Laws, Origin Weapons, and so on.
Lin Feng's 120,000-kilometer combat body was already enough to sweep through all elementary planetary lifeforms, invincible and undefeated. However, before this advanced planetary lifeform that was ten million kilometers in size, it was nothing.
When the other party's palm struck down, Lin Feng had a feeling of suffocation.
Since the other party was not going to talk reason, Lin Feng did not hold back. In fact, when he saw the other party attack, Lin Feng felt a hint of excitement. After transforming into a planetary lifeform, he had basically never encountered an evenly matched opponent.
Even when facing the Eleventh Fleet of the Roya Empire, Lin Feng did not use his full strength. Even being bombarded by stellar particle cannon did not cause Lin Feng to feel pressure.
But now, facing this unfamiliar planetary cultivator, he felt a pressure that he had not felt for a long time. It had been a long time since he had felt this way.
Boom.
Lin Feng did not back down either. He threw a punch as well.
One big, one small. The difference between the two was just too great. Lin Feng's combat body was like an ant standing in front of the giant elephant. Yet the ant actually dared to resist the elephant. How ironic was this?
However, this scene really happened. When the two of them collided fiercely, their expressions changed drastically at the same time.
Lin Feng felt an unparalleled power surge into his body in a frenzy, destroying a little less than half of his combat body. That terrifying power actually could not be suppressed for a time.
His opponent also found it unbelievable. With just this clash, his massive combat body of ten million kilometers had actually retreated for a distance. Moreover, his combat body was trembling slightly. Many cells were destroyed, and his combat body was even weakened by a degree.
The two of them collided head-on once and were actually evenly matched. At least, it seemed like they were on par.
"Good, this is the feeling!"
A smile appeared on Lin Feng's lips instead. He had not had this feeling for a long time. Now, it had come up. His opponent was very, very strong, and it made even him feel a trace of heavy pressure.
However, it was just pressure. This pressure could allow Lin Feng to unleash all his potential.
"Again!"
Lin Feng threw his head back and roared. This time, his combat body changed subtly. A terrifying annihilative aura spread through the universe.
The Greater Annihilative Combat Body was the most powerful combat body for offense!
In terms of offensive power and combat power, the strongest among Lin Feng's three combat bodies was the Greater Annihilative Combat Body.
Lin Feng had the 120,000-kilometer Greater Annihilative Combat Body, and the planetary Law of Annihilation which enhanced his Greater Annihilative Combat Body. The terrifying annihilative power reached the advanced planetary level.
Even the advanced planetary lifeform in front of him sensed danger.
That's right. The Lin Feng in front of him was very dangerous. Having switched to the Greater Annihilative Combat Body, fighting was what Lin Feng wanted.
Lin Feng took the initiative to attack. His massive body moved slightly. Then, a terrifying annihilative power accompanied by an annihilative storm blasted out with a punch.
"Planetary Law?"
At this moment, how could the cultivator who was an advanced planetary lifeform not know? While the Lin Feng before him looked like a mere elementary planetary lifeform, with the enhancement of planetary Laws, he was no longer inferior to advanced planetary lifeforms in the slightest, and was even comparable with a peak advanced planetary lifeform.
But how could his pride allow him to be intimidated?
"Good!"
Their combat bodies collided again. Terrifying shockwaves spread in all directions. Even though they were very far from the star, they still affected it.
It seemed like this star would not be able to hold out for long, and would break apart in the next moment.
Lin Feng felt heartily content and unrestrained. He had never encountered such an evenly matched opponent. The two of them were indeed evenly matched. With every collision, both parties' combat bodies would suffer severe damage.
However, the combat bodies of the two had a similar characteristic, and that was their terrifying regenerative ability.
Lin Feng's restorative ability was already strong enough, but he did not expect his opponent's restorative ability to be stronger. However, in terms of strength alone, Lin Feng was clearly stronger in the Greater Annihilative Combat Body.
However, as he was severely injured, he needed to switch to the Tidal Combat Body from time to time. Then, he could use the powerful regenerative ability of the Tidal Combat Body to slowly recover his combat body.
This way, the intervals between switching would inevitably be used by his opponent.
Time passed slowly. Lin Feng was gradually at a disadvantage, but his life was not in danger. Up until now, both parties had been competing entirely with their combat bodies, without using Origin Weapons.
Actually, be it Lin Feng or his opponent, they could both sense that there was still a terrifying power in each other's bodies that seemed to remain unused. They should both be Origin Weapons.
Lin Feng had the powerful Origin Weapon bestowed by Divine King Bemond, comparable to a full-power strike from an ultimate planetary lifeform. Meanwhile, his opponent should also have a similar Origin Weapon.
Towards the end of the fight, the surrounding cosmos was in chaos. Even the distant stars were on the verge of shattering.
Boom.
Finally, the aftershock of the battle between the two of them struck the star. At that moment, the star could no longer withstand the shock of such a battle and shattered instantly.
Waves of annihilative power quickly brewed in the star, causing the Spear of Destruction in Lin Feng's body to stir.
"Stop!"
Lin Feng also used his mental power to convey the intent of "stop". The other party was also wary of the hidden power in Lin Feng's body, so he gradually stopped.
The two of them stood some distance apart in the universe and faced off each other in silence.

Chapter 470: Venerable Vigil
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Who exactly are you?"
Lin Feng stared at him coldly. In fact, he had already grasped the Black Hole Pearl discreetly in his hand.
He felt that he had inexplicably fought a huge battle with this mysterious cultivator. The two parties were evenly matched, and it was difficult to determine the victor in a short period of time.
If the battle continued, he would have to risk his life. Although Lin Feng was confident in the Black Hole Pearl, it was hard to guarantee that the other party did not have similar methods. When the time came, it might be an internecine fight.
Lin Feng did not intend to risk his life for no reason.
"You destroyed the star I was using to refine the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire, captured my Golden Crows, and took the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire. Yet you are asking who I am?"
"Then I'll tell you. I'm Venerable Vigil!"
"Venerable Vigil?"
Those who could be titled "Venerable" must have extensive influence in the universe. This Venerable Vigil was indeed very powerful. Currently, he was the only cultivator Lin Feng had met who could fight Lin Feng to a standstill.
Lin Feng took out the pearl he had obtained from the star. It turned out that this pearl was called the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire. The name was not bad, but he did not know what kind of Origin Weapon it was. Lin Feng could not unleash its power at all.
"I think this is a misunderstanding. I originally wanted to use this star to refine an Origin Weapon too, but I accidentally discovered that there's actually life in the star. I didn't know that these all belonged to Your Excellency."
"Then why don't you return it now?"
Lin Feng smiled slightly, not minding the tone. He handed the nine sealed Golden Crows and the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire directly to Venerable Vigil.
Looking at the nine Three-legged Golden Crows and the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire in his hands, Venerable Vigil was a little surprised. He had thought that the cultivator had stolen the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire because he coveted his treasures.
However, after an intense battle with Lin Feng, he realized that Lin Feng was not inferior to him at all. Moreover, Lin Feng seemed to have some trump cards that made even him sense danger. It was impossible that Lin Feng was here for his Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire.
Perhaps this was really a misunderstanding. The two of them had fought over nothing, and even shattered the star.
"Are you really not here for the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire?"
Venerable Vigil was still a little doubtful.
Lin Feng shook his head and said with a weak smile, "Perhaps you also find it a little unbelievable, but it's really a misunderstanding. I don't even know which galaxy this stretch of cosmos belongs to. I just discovered your Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire by accident."
Venerable Vigil nodded. It seemed like this was really a misunderstanding.
"This is a region at the edge of the North River Galaxy. There are almost no planets with civilizations here, so it is of little value. Hence, very few cultivators come to this area. If not for the purpose of refining the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire, I wouldn't be here either."
"So it's the North River Galaxy."
Lin Feng nodded. He knew that the North River Galaxy was an extremely famous galaxy of cultivation in the universe. This galaxy was a little special. It was dominated by cultivators, and there was also an expert at the level of a Divine King, the North River Divine King!
However, the North River Divine King did not rule the North River Galaxy. Instead, it was an open galaxy. Many powerful cultivators relied on their strength to carve out their own territories.
As time passed, due to the openness of the North River Galaxy, more and more cultivators entered the North River Galaxy, making it a holy land of cultivation for civilizations in the universe.
In terms of prosperity in cultivation, even the Divine Palace of Bemond was not on par with the North River Galaxy.
"May I know who you are?" Venerable Vigil stared intently at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng also introduced himself. "I'm Lin Feng, a disciple of the Divine Palace of Bemond."
"Bemond Galaxy?"
Venerable Vigil came to a realization. No wonder Lin Feng was so strong. He was actually from the Divine Palace of Bemond. That made sense. The Divine Palace of Bemond was established by Divine King Bemond himself. Every disciple of the Divine Palace of Bemond could be considered a disciple of the Divine King.
However, only the disciples of the upper district could be considered the core disciples of Divine King Bemond. These core disciples were all powerful, and no one in the universe dared to provoke them lightly.
Venerable Vigil did not expect to meet a disciple of the Divine Palace of Bemond here.
"Your Highness Lin Feng, the Divine Palace of Bemond is far from here. Why are you here, Your Highness?"
"My home planet is here. Back then, I went to the Divine Palace of Bemond from my home planet. Now that I have some success in my cultivation, I naturally want to help my home planet enter the universe."
Realization dawned on Venerable Vigil. He was a little surprised that a civilization could actually be born in this barren area, and that a genius with terrifying aptitude like Lin Feng had appeared.
However, the universe was vast, and there were all kinds of extraordinary things. There were simply too many cultivators like Lin Feng. As long as they were not devouring lifeforms or cultivators of cold nature, they would help their home planet after becoming planetary lifeforms.
After all, the home planet was the foundation of cultivators! This applied even to Venerable Vigil.
"Looks like it's really a misunderstanding. Your Highness Lin Feng must have never been to the North River Galaxy, right?"
"Although I've long heard that the North River Galaxy is a holy land for cultivators, I've never been there."
"Haha, no discord, no concord. If Your Highness is willing, how about coming to my planet as a guest? When the time comes, I'll personally introduce the North River Galaxy to Your Highness."
Venerable Vigil was rather earnest, and Lin Feng was also struck by an idea.
After learning from Venerable Vigil that his home planet was close to the North River Galaxy, Lin Feng had a vague idea. Perhaps his home planet could be integrated into the North River Galaxy.
Since this Venerable Vigil had extended an invitation to him, this was actually a good opportunity.
"Since Your Excellency has invited me, I'll accept your invitation respectfully. However, I destroyed Your Excellency's star and the refinement of the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire. This…"
In the end, it was Lin Feng who had acted somewhat rashly. If it were an unclaimed item, this would be an opportunity. However, this Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire had been painstakingly refined by Venerable Vigil, yet it was destroyed by Lin Feng. Naturally, he felt somewhat apologetic.
Venerable Vigil waved his hand and said, "One who acted without knowledge is not guilty. Your Highness Lin Feng didn't know the exact situation either. If Your Highness really feels bad about it, you can stay on my planet for a few more days. Should a cultivator with Your Highness's talent be willing to visit my planet, I'd actually be the one benefiting."
Lin Feng smiled. Venerable Vigil was actually quite a magnanimous person.
Venerable Vigil invited Lin Feng to leave at once, but Lin Feng glanced at the collapsing star and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, please wait a moment. A collapsing star should not go wasted. I can also use the annihilative power within to replenish an Origin Weapon."
Lin Feng took out the Spear of Destruction and extended it directly into the collapsing star. Immediately, a massive annihilative power surged into the Spear of Destruction, quickly replenishing the annihilative power in it.
Seeing this, Venerable Vigil's pupils constricted slightly. Lin Feng could easily control the annihilative power, and it was the annihilative power produced in stars.
Now, Venerable Vigil was even more certain that Lin Feng had definitely comprehended the planetary Law of Annihilation.

"Success!"
Lin Feng retracted the Spear of Destruction. How vast was the annihilative power of a collapsing star? It was naturally a piece of cake to replenish the Spear of Destruction.
"Your Highness Lin Feng, let's go."
Venerable Vigil used his massive combat body and quickly flew towards the depths of the universe.
Lin Feng also used his combat body and followed closely behind.
After traveling for a long time, Lin Feng realized that Venerable Vigil had actually arrived near another star, and was flying directly towards it.
"Your Excellency, what are you doing?"
"Your Highness Lin Feng, there's something you don't know. I actually refined a total of nine Ennead Pearls of Spirit Fire. They have to be refined using the flames within a star for a hundred years before completion."
"Now that a hundred years are up, I can retrieve the Ennead Pearls of Spirit Fire."
Lin Feng was somewhat surprised that there were actually nine such Origin Weapons, and they could form a set. Moreover, the refinement method was very special and actually required stars.
Once the nine were refined, the power would definitely be very terrifying.
"Venerable, doesn't this mean that I've ruined the refinement of this Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire?"
Lin Feng felt somewhat apologetic. All the hard work for a hundred years had been destroyed in a day. No wonder Venerable Vigil was so furious the moment he arrived. If it had been Lin Feng who was refining an Origin Weapon, and it had been destroyed overnight, he would also be incomparably angered.
However, Venerable Vigil shook his head and said, "It's fine. Actually, the refinement of this Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire is almost complete. Your Highness Lin Feng only helped me to retrieve it. It didn't damage the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire."
"I'm relieved to hear that."
As long as he had not caused the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire to be lost, the rest did not matter much.
Venerable Vigil rushed in front of the star. Then, his massive combat body extended its gigantic hand and struck the star directly.
"Open!"
Rumble.
The giant hand blotted out everything. It shattered the star with a single palm strike. Terrifying energy spread in all directions, and a star was blasted apart just like that.
The aftershock naturally did not pose any threat to Lin Feng and Venerable Vigil. Nine more Golden Crows and an Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire flew out of the shattered star, and were retrieved by Venerable Vigil.
Next, one star after another was blasted apart by Venerable Vigil. He took out the Ennead Pearls of Spirit Fire cultured within them. Lin Feng looked at the stars being blasted apart and destroyed one after another, and felt a little sorry.
As if sensing Lin Feng's discomfort, Venerable Vigil said with a smile, "Your Highness Lin Feng, do you find it destroying stars like this a little unbearable?"
Lin Feng nodded as well. Venerable Vigil shook his head and said with a smile, "Looks like Your Highness has never been to many places in the universe. You must have been cultivating hard in the Divine Palace of Bemond, right?"
"The vast universe is simply too huge. As long as there are no inhabited planets nearby, it doesn't matter if these stars are destroyed, because this is nothing to the vast universe. Ordinary galaxies have at least hundreds of billions of stars, or even more. Stars are being destroyed at every moment, but at the same time, stars are born at every moment."
"The last thing the universe lacks is celestial bodies like stars. In comparison, planets with life are very special. Almost every planet with life is unique. If it disappears, it will disappear forever. That is why those devouring lifeforms and fiends are the public enemy of cultivators."
Lin Feng's eyes lit up. He said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, you also know about fiends?"
"Of course. Fiends are what I abhor the most! Devouring lifeforms just act on instinct, but these fiends are the public enemy of cultivators. The North River Galaxy is open, so many fiends are also taking advantage of the situation in the North River Galaxy. My home planet was almost devoured by fiends once. I will definitely eliminate any fiends I encounter!"
With that, Venerable Vigil also gave Lin Feng a meaningful look.
"When I first saw Your Highness, I thought that Your Highness was a fiend. After all, fiends are best at disguise. Sometimes, those fiends can disguise themselves for tens of thousands of years."
Lin Feng came to a realization and said, "So Your Excellency attacked as soon as you arrived, not entirely because the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire had been taken? Actually, you also wanted to test if I'm a fiend?"
"That's right. Fiends are just too good at disguising themselves in the North River Galaxy. I had to do it. I hope Your Highness Lin Feng can understand."
To have gained a foothold in the North River Galaxy, Venerable Vigil was naturally meticulous. He might appear rash, but he was actually cautious and thoughtful. Lin Feng could not help but think highly of him.
"Your Excellency, you are too kind. I also abhor fiends deeply. Looks like we are the same kind of people. It's just as the saying goes, no discord, no concord."
"That's right. No discord, no concord. Brother Lin Feng, don't stand on ceremony. Just call me Vigil in the future."
"How can that do? Your Excellency has cultivated for longer than I. Then, if I may be so bold, I'll address Your Excellency as Big Brother in the future."
"Haha, that's great!"
"Big Brother Vigil."
The two of them became acquainted through an exchange of blows. Moreover, Venerable Vigil's personality was quite to Lin Feng's liking. They really wished they had met sooner, and they quickly addressed each other as brothers.
Of course, Lin Feng's strength was not inferior to Venerable Vigil's. This was a very important point. It was impossible for an elephant to be friends with an ant. Only entities on equal levels could be considered true friends.
Hence, Lin Feng followed Venerable Vigil and flew straight towards the North River Galaxy.
…
"Brother Lin Feng, the planet ahead is Planet Vigil."
Venerable Vigil introduced it to Lin Feng with a smile.
Lin Feng focused his gaze. There were indeed some huge planets ahead, and also some stars and planets within a radius of half a light-year.
There were a total of 72 planets. They seemed to be arranged in a special formation to guard Planet Vigil in the middle.
"An array?"
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. He thought of something special in cultivation—arrays.
"Brother Lin Feng, you have a good eye! That's right, this is an array. I used more than a thousand years to move one planet after another, gathering 72 planets to form the Array of 72 Terrestrial Banes! Within the range of these 72 planets, when the array is activated to gather the power of 72 planets, even advanced planetary lifeforms can't do anything."
"If I am controlling the array, it can even resist those ultimate planetary lifeforms for a period of time."
Lin Feng's eyes lit up. He had really never seen arrays before. He had only learned some general knowledge about them in the Divine Palace.
As for why the Divine Palace did not have any array formations, the reason was too simple. With Divine King Bemond presiding over it, what was the use of arrays? What array could contend against great galactic-level beings?
The so-called arrays used the power of some planets and arranged them into a special formation. The strongest arrays could even resist those ultimate planetary lifeforms.
However, at the galactic level, arrays were not of much use.
Still, cosmic arrays were indispensable in an open and chaotic galaxy like the North River Galaxy.

Chapter 472: Territory
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Brother Lin Feng, let's go down together."
Venerable Vigil shrank his body and flew directly into Planet Vigil with Lin Feng.
"Dominus."
"Dominus…"
Lin Feng entered the planet and realized that it had an antique style. There were cultivators everywhere, and there were very few technological things. Moreover, the people he met all addressed Venerable Vigil as "Dominus".
"Brother Lin Feng, I advocate pure cultivation, so I rarely use technological things."
As if seeing Lin Feng's confusion, Venerable Vigil explained meaningfully.
There were a total of 72 planets in the region occupied by Venerable Vigil. Apart from the stars, there were a large number of cultivators on all the planets, and their population exceeded 100 billion.
These hundreds of billions of people and 72 planets all fell under the territory of Venerable Vigil. In this territory, Venerable Vigil was the only ruler, just like Divine King Bemond of the Bemond Galaxy.
This was also the case for most of the regions of the North River Galaxy. Some powerful cultivators controlled their own faction and occupied many planets. They turned these planets into their territory and ruled in their own way.
These rulers were all called Domini.
The Domini were naturally differentiated into greater Domini and lesser Domini. The lesser Domini were basically just elementary planetary lifeforms that ruled over one or a few planets.
The slightly greater Domini were known as the Venerables, and basically all ruled over more than ten planets. Someone like Venerable Vigil was a Venerable, and was rather powerful among the Venerables, ruling over a total of 72 planets.
As for the great Domini, there were relatively few of them in the North River Galaxy. Every great Dominus basically ruled over 1,000 territorial planets, and they were all ultimate planetary lifeforms. In the North River Galaxy, such great Domini were all called Grand Emperors!
Every Grand Emperor was famed and undefeated in the cosmos. Apart from the galactic-level Divine Kings, they were the strongest.
The North River Divine King was the strongest in the North River Galaxy, but he basically did not interfere with the various major factions in the North River Galaxy. Moreover, he had not developed a powerful faction like the Divine Palace of Bemond.
Hence, countless ambitious cultivators and countless factions entered the North River Galaxy to "stake their claim in the new market". Cultivators even often attacked each other and annexed each other's territory.
As for the use of these territories?
Of course they were useful, and the uses were huge. Many planetary lifeforms needed resources. A large amount of resources, such as some cosmic miraculous items, also required some resources for purchase.
Where would the resources come from?
Naturally, they came from these planets. Due to the open nature of the North River Galaxy, countless cultivators surged in, making it a holy land for cultivation.
There were all kinds of Origin Weapons, cultivation methods, and miraculous items. They were simply innumerable. As a result, every planet in the North River Galaxy was developed to the extreme by cultivators, and had the best cultivation environment.
As time passed, the North River Galaxy naturally became a holy land for cultivation.
There were even fiends hiding among them to stir up trouble. After all, in such a holy land for cultivation, even if they only devoured one planet, there would be powerful cultivators within. Devouring one such planet was equivalent to devouring dozens of planets in other galaxies.
Naturally, the North River Galaxy would attract countless fiends to infiltrate it. However, the cultivators of the North River Galaxy also viewed fiends as public enemies. After all, even when two Domini attacked each other, it was for the sake of competing for the territorial planets. Basically very few people would destroy planets on a large scale.
However, fiends could devour planets and everything. They were considered completely destructive. Once traces of fiends were discovered, cultivators would quickly band together to attack them.
Of course, there must be some very cautious and deeply concealed fiends.
"Dominus, this is…?"
In the Dominus Manor, there was a Minotaur with a pair of long, curved horns. Even in his ordinary form, he was more than two meters tall. He looked very burly and ferocious.
"Bai Xiong, this is Brother Lin Feng, whom I just met. He is a disciple of the Divine Palace of Bemond!"
"Brother Lin Feng, this is Bai Xiong, my right-hand man. Normally, when I'm not around, Bai Xiong would manage all the matters in the territory."
"Greetings, Brother Bai."
"Your Highness Lin Feng."
This Bai Xiong looked boorish, but he was actually very thoughtful. He had heard the title "Brother Lin Feng" from Venerable Vigil. This was very rare indeed.
Bai Xiong knew Venerable Vigil very well. Venerable Vigil was prideful. He was outstanding among the Venerables, and even had a chance of becoming a Grand Emperor. There were very few cultivators that Venerable Vigil regarded with respect.
Even if those who were also Venerables might not be regarded highly by Venerable Vigil.
However, now that Venerable Vigil was so "familiar" with Lin Feng, and even befriended him as an equal. This was unusual, and meant that Venerable Vigil regarded Lin Feng very highly.
Bai Xiong could only sense the aura of six life transitions on Lin Feng. It had to be known that life transitions could not be concealed. The aura of six life transitions meant that Lin Feng was only a planetary lifeform.
Why was a planetary lifeform so highly regarded by Venerable Vigil?
Even though Bai Xiong was very curious, he was very respectful towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was also observing Bai Xiong. He sensed the aura of six life transitions on Bai Xiong. Clearly, the other party was also an elementary planetary lifeform.
In the universe, a cultivator that was an elementary lifeform was quite rare to come by. He did not expect to see a planetary lifeform so soon.
"Dominus, how is your artifact?"
"Although there were some twists and turns, it is finally completed!"
"It is completed?"
A look of joy appeared on Bai Xiong's face. He knew how much effort Venerable Vigil had put in for the Ennead Pearls of Spirit Fire. This was no ordinary Origin Weapon. Just collecting the materials had taken centuries.
"Bai Xiong, has anything happened in the territory recently?"
Venerable Vigil could also tell that Bai Xiong seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Hence, he waved his hand and said, "Brother Lin Feng is one of us. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Bai Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "Dominus, during your absence, Venerable Oceanus recruited some foreign planetary cultivators from somewhere. Although they are only elementary planetary lifeforms, they are very strong. They often provoked us. A few commanders in the territory could not tolerate the provocations and fought with them, and wound up suffering heavy losses."
"There's such a thing?"
Venerable Vigil's expression darkened.
"Dominus, the mysterious cultivators that Venerable Oceanus recruited are indeed very strong. Almost every one is not inferior to me. Even I am not confident of defeating them myself."
"Fortunately, we are protected by the cosmic array, so those people do not dare to enter the territory. However, I think Venerable Oceanus must have a major agenda for recruiting these mysterious cultivators, and provoking us continuously recently. Dominus, please make preparations early."
Venerable Vigil laughed coldly and said, "Oceanus has fought with me for thousands of years. What method has he not used? All he wants is to annex my 72 territorial stars. As long as I'm around, he can forget about ever defeating me. However, your reminder is right. That Oceanus has recruited so many cultivators. He wouldn't keep them around for nothing, and will definitely cause trouble. Pay close attention to those mysterious cultivators and investigate them thoroughly."
"Yes, Dominus."
Bai Xiong accepted the order and left. Venerable Vigil turned around and said to Lin Feng with a smile, "That was embarrassing in front of Brother Lin Feng. I'll go and deal with some mundane matters first. How about I let Bai Xiong bring Brother Lin Feng for a tour around the planet?"
"It's fine. Big Brother, go ahead. I happen to be a little tired, so I will go and rest first."
"All right, I'll hold a welcome party for Brother Lin Feng after I'm done with mundane matters."
Hence, Lin Feng parted ways with Venerable Vigil and turned to leave the residence.

Chapter 473: Calculating Matters
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Your Highness Lin Feng, this is your residence. If you need anything, just tell the servants. You are the most distinguished guest of Planet Vigil."
Bai Xiong led Lin Feng to his residence and said respectfully. Even though he knew that Lin Feng was only a elementary planetary lifeform, he remained ever humble and did not dare to show any signs of arrogance.
Lin Feng began to understand why Bai Xiong could become the right-hand man of Venerable Vigil.
"Thank you, Commander Bai."
After Bai Xiong left, Lin Feng entered his residence. There were already many servants inside. They were all beautiful maidservants who bowed to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng waved his hand and wandered around instead. From time to time, he would ask the guards and maidservants questions, and obtained a lot of information about the Vigil Domain.
The territory of Venerable Vigil was known as the Vigil Domain. It contained a total of 72 territorial stars. It could be considered one of the strongest factions in the surrounding cosmic region.
There were a total of 13 commanders in the Vigil Domain. Every commander was a planetary lifeform that helped Venerable Vigil to rule over the 72 planets.
Lin Feng could not help but be secretly stunned. Just the territory of a single Venerable could have more than a dozen subordinates who were planetary lifeforms. How many planetary lifeforms must there be in the entire North River Galaxy?
In terms of the number of cultivators who were planetary lifeforms, the Bemond Galaxy was far inferior to the North River Galaxy.
However, the situations of the two galaxies were different, so they should not be generalized. Although there were not many planetary lifeforms in the Bemond Galaxy, most of them were in the Divine Palace of Bemond, and power was very centralized.
If the Divine Palace gave an order, all the planetary lifeforms had to obey it. The North River Galaxy was different. These lesser and greater Domini would not obey anyone's orders. All of them did things their own way, and called the shots in their own territory.
Even an order from the North River Divine King could not make them risk their lives. In a sense, apart from the Divine King of Bemond, the power of the Divine Palace of Bemond was definitely the strongest in the North River Galaxy.
The situations of the two galaxies were different, so the way of thinking must change accordingly.
Lin Feng also learned about some information gradually. The Vigil Domain was not peaceful. Next to it was the Oceanus Domain. Their faction was about as powerful as the Vigil Domain, but Venerable Vigil was slightly stronger than Venerable Oceanus.
The two parties had been fighting for a long time. Venerable Vigil probably returned for the purpose of dealing with the matter regarding the Oceanus Domain this time as well.
Now that Lin Feng had gained a rough understanding of the situation in Vigil Domain, if the situation in Vigil Domain and Oceanus Domain applied to the entire North River Galaxy, Lin Feng also had a rough idea of the situation in the North River Galaxy.
He would like his home planet to integrate into the North River Galaxy, but he could not rush things. He had to make further observations. Otherwise, if they encountered any trouble, Lin Feng could endure it, but his home planet could not.
Unless he was absolutely confident that he could manage his home planet to the level of Vigil Domain in a short period of time, Lin Feng would not expose his home planet to the many cultivators of the North River Galaxy.
Moreover, Lin Feng only had a few decades. When the time came, he had to return to the Divine Palace of Bemond and participate in the Big Bang.
"My current strength is about on par with Venerable Vigil, and Venerable Vigil can only be considered average among the many advanced planet lifeforms."
Lin Feng's heart sank slightly. He had originally thought that Venerable Vigil was an advanced planetary lifeform at the peak level. After all, he had a massive combat body over ten million kilometers in size.
However, the situation in the North River Galaxy was much more complicated than Lin Feng had imagined. Even Venerable Vigil was only at the intermediate level among the Venerables. After all, a large number of cultivators in the universe were gathered in the North River Galaxy gathered, and it was considered a holy land of cultivation.
Here, there were no longer as few cultivators who comprehended Laws as in the Divine Palace of Bemond. There were even some elementary planetary lifeforms who had already comprehended planetary Laws like Lin Feng, allowing their strength to increase explosively to the point where they were even comparable to ordinary advanced planetary lifeforms.
Of course, cultivators like Lin Feng, who had transformed into a planetary lifeform with a consummate combat body, were definitely rare, and might not even exist. Not to mention that Lin Feng had comprehended three planetary Laws, which was even more unheard of.
With such strength and trump cards, Lin Feng could protect his home planet very well. However, at the same time, if he was targeted by some powerful cultivators, things would probably be very troublesome. After all, the Black Hole Pearl could only be used for a few times. If an ultimate planetary lifeform targeted Lin Feng, Lin Feng could only escape, and his home planet would be in danger.
Being strong was a good thing, but if such strength was not enough to suppress all surrounding adversaries and intimidate them, to a certain extent, it was not good news either.
"If I can move my home planet here, it will be adjacent to the Vigil Domain. Even if I'm not around, Venerable Vigil can still take care of my home planet slightly."
Lin Feng was also slowly calculating matters.
…
In the Oceanus Domain, Venerable Oceanus, who was dressed in an ornate blue robe, sat high and mighty on a large throne.
Below him were four unfamiliar cultivators. If anyone else saw them, they would know that these four people were the four highly mysterious cultivators that Venerable Oceanus had recently recruited. It was said that they came from other galaxies.
Moreover, these four people were very powerful. They had always provoked the people from the Vigil Domain, but no one was their match. Recently, the Oceanus Domain had been in the limelight, suppressing the people from the Vigil Domain overwhelmingly.
"Your Excellency, I heard that Venerable Vigil, Dominus of the Vigil Domain, has returned. Should we get serious next?"
One of the four cultivators said. His forehead was covered in mysterious patterns, and his expression was languid, as if he was indifferent to everything.
"I've already seen the strength of the four of you. I was right about you. With your help, we'll definitely be able to kill Venerable Vigil this time! However, Venerable Vigil is very strong and have many trump cards. I heard that he went to refine Origin Weapons again. Let's investigate thoroughly before deciding on the time to attack."
Venerable Oceanus was very cautious. Without absolute confidence, he would not attack lightly. He had fought with Venerable Vigil for thousands of years, and knew each other's methods very well.
In terms of talent, he had to admit that Venerable Vigil was indeed stronger than him. In the last few centuries, he was no longer Venerable Vigil's match.
It was why Venerable Oceanus was so eager to recruit these four mysterious cultivators to deal with Venerable Vigil!
He did not dare to underestimate these four people at all. Although on the surface, these four people seemed to be elementary planetary lifeforms, in reality, when the four of them joined forces, they were very terrifying, and could contend against the Venerables!
Even though the origins of these four people were unknown, and their conditions were a little demanding, Venerable Oceanus still agreed to the conditions of these four people in the end. As long as they could deal with the thorn in his side that was Venerable Vigil, he did not mind giving these four people some benefits.
In fact, it would be best if the four of them knew when to quit while they're ahead after dealing with the threat that was Venerable Vigil. If they did not, Venerable Oceanus would show the four of them the rules in the North River Galaxy!

Chapter 474: Guarding the Array
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Boss, I think this Venerable Oceanus harbors ill intentions too!"
The four mysterious cultivators were gathered in secret.
"Heh, the strong are respected in the North River Galaxy. Do you think I don't know what Oceanus is thinking? However, our goal is the same as his for the time being, and that is to deal with Venerable Vigil! After all, if we face two Venerables, we are definitely not their match. However, if we deal with Venerable Vigil first, and Oceanus is the only one left, so what if he's a Venerable?"
"That's right. It's not like we haven't dealt with Venerables before!"
"If this operation is successful, that'll be two domains with more than a hundred planets. The four of us can easily metamorphose into advanced planetary lifeforms. When the four of us join forces, aside from Grand Emperors who are ultimate planetary lifeforms, no one will be our match."
"Haha, just the thought of it is wonderful."
Wild greed appeared in the eyes of all four of them.
…
"Brother Lin Feng, are you settling in comfortable?"
Venerable Vigil finally finished his mundane matters and arrived at Lin Feng's residence immediately.
"It's nice. The Vigil Domain is so orderly under Brother's management. I'll have much to consult Big Brother on in the future."
"Haha, Brother Lin Feng, you're too kind. You're a disciple of the Divine Palace, a distinguished disciple of Divine King Bemond. How can my meager wealth be worth your fancy? This Vigil Domain can be considered the fruit of my labor. Unfortunately, after managing it for thousands of years, such an extent is the best I can do."
"Big Brother, the Vigil Domain is already great. There's no knowing how long it would take if I were to manage my home planet to the level of the Vigil Domain."
"Oh? Brother Lin Feng intends to integrate your home planet into the North River Galaxy?"
"I do have this thought, but I haven't learned the situation in the North River Galaxy in detail yet, so I haven't made up my mind."
Venerable Vigil understood now. Lin Feng had doubts.
However, on second thought, it made sense. The situation in the North River Galaxy was not even clear. How could Lin Feng make up his mind?
"Brother Lin Feng, I know the situation of the North River Galaxy the best. The North River Galaxy is famous for its openness and freedom, but openness and freedom also mean chaos. If one is not strong enough, it is actually quite dangerous to be in the North River Galaxy. Brother Lin Feng's strength is naturally enough to establish yourself in the North River Galaxy, but your home planet is different."
"If I'm not wrong, Brother Lin Feng is the only planetary lifeform on our home planet, right?"
Lin Feng nodded. There's nothing to hide here.
"Brother Lin Feng's home planet only has one planetary lifeform. Moreover, Brother Lin Feng probably won't stay on your home planet forever. If you return to the Divine Palace, without a planetary lifeform guarding it, it is likely for many changes to occur. If Brother Lin Feng takes time to manage it, managing a domain is actually possible, but this will be too time-consuming."
Indeed, these were all things Lin Feng had considered.
"How about this? If Brother Lin Feng trusts me, we can move your home planet near my Vigil Domain, and we can be neighbors to each other. In the future, even if Brother Lin Feng leaves, I can help Brother Lin Feng to take care of it slightly. Actually, the North River Galaxy is very large. Forget about a few dozen planets, no matter how many territorial planets there are, it can accommodate them."
Lin Feng naturally understood what Venerable Vigil meant. The North River Galaxy was huge. What Venerable Vigil meant was to tell Lin Feng not to worry. No conflict of interest would actually arise by moving his home planet over. Instead, if the two joined forces, their power would increase greatly, and no one would dare to touch the home planets of Venerable Vigil and Lin Feng.
"Big Brother's idea is quite good. However, wouldn't I be taking too much advantage of you this way?"
Although Venerable Vigil was very magnanimous, and Lin Feng was willing to befriend him, Lin Feng felt bad that he was always taking advantage without making any contributions.
Moreover, people must provide value of their own in order to work together as equals.
"Haha, Brother Lin Feng, that's where you're wrong. It's a great benefit for us to join forces. I couldn't desire it more! Moreover, there's indeed a troublesome matter in the present that I need Brother Lin Feng's help for."
"Oh, what is it?"
Lin Feng revealed a curious expression. He was not afraid that Venerable Vigil had a request. He was only afraid that Venerable Vigil did not have one. That way, Lin Feng would always be taking advantage, and it would actually very unfavorable for his cooperation with Venerable Vigil.
It couldn't be better that Venerable Vigil wanted something from him.
"Brother Lin Feng, you probably know about Venerable Oceanus, right?"
"I do."
"This Venerable Oceanus has fought with me for thousands of years, and I've always had the upper hand. He's unwilling to accept it. Originally, there was no deep enmity between our domains, but Venerable Oceanus was bent on occupying my Vigil Domain, so that he could be the only hegemon of this region! Hmph, that he's so bent on competing for power is the reason he's much slower than me in cultivation. So what if he became the hegemon? In the North River Galaxy, strength is the most important thing. With strength, there's nothing that can't be obtained with full effort.
"It's one thing that Oceanus is putting the cart before the horse, but he's bent on scheming against me. Now that I've completed my artifacts, there's no need for me to tolerate it anymore. If he were alone, I would have nothing to fear. However, he's recently recruited four mysterious cultivators. Although they're only elementary planetary lifeforms, no one knows Oceanus better than I. He wouldn't do anything he's not confident in.
"Therefore, I think these four mysterious cultivators might be a little strange. Brother Lin Feng, you don't have to attack. You just need to guard the array for me. If anything really happens, with Brother Lin Feng guarding the array, I can also fight Oceanus without worries!"
Lin Feng understood now. It turned out that Venerable Vigil was going to fight with Venerable Oceanus. Lin Feng had also learned previously that the two parties had actually fought for many times. Venerable Vigil always had the upper hand over Venerable Oceanus, but he could not kill Venerable Oceanus completely.
Although the two territories were adjacent, Venerable Vigil was indeed fully focused on cultivation. He only wanted to safeguard the basic 72 territorial planets, and maintain his cultivation level. As for more power, Venerable Vigil was not interested at all.
On the other hand, Venerable Oceanus was indeed power-hungry, and bent on plotting to acquire the Vigil Domain.
"Big Brother, you're too courteous. This Venerable Oceanus is power-hungry. If we don't get rid of him, even if I move my home planet over in the future, there will be major trouble. Big Brother, don't worry. With me supporting you, no accident will occur!"
"Haha, of course I trust Brother Lin Feng's strength. If we succeed this time, Brother Lin Feng can freely choose half of the many territorial planets in Oceanus Domain. When the time comes, we can form a cosmic array to guard our home planets. Even if Brother Lin Feng is away, you can rest assured."
Lin Feng was moved. The fact that Venerable Vigil was so generous reinforced his previous thoughts.
After dealing with the Oceanus Domain, his home planet would also be able to use this opportunity to enter the North River Galaxy, and completely integrate into it. With Lin Feng and Venerable Vigil around, there would be no need to worry about safety, and it could develop in peace.
"In that case, I'll thank you in advance, Big Brother!"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, feeling incomparably elated.

Chapter 475: Venerable Oceanus
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Dominus, Venerable Oceanus wants to meet you. If you don't attend the meeting, he'll attack the Vigil Domain and make sure we never have a day of peace!"
Bai Xiong came to report to Venerable Vigil with a grim expression.
The Vigil Domain was not afraid of Venerable Oceanus, and the Array of 72 Terrestrial Banes was no joke either. Even without Venerable Vigil, they could still contend against a Venerable with the Array of 72 Terrestrial Banes alone.
However, if a Venerable attacked the Array of 72 Terrestrial Banes continuously, at all costs, there would be practically no peace for the 72 territorial planets of the Vigil Domain.
"Hmph, so Oceanus has finally run out of patience."
Venerable Vigil opened his eyes, which flickered with a trace of coldness.
"Dominus, that Venerable Oceanus is ruthless and ambitious. He has tried to kill you a few times. I'm afraid there's a trap in this high-profile provocation!"
"Do you think I don't know what methods Oceanus is capable of? He thought he can kill me just because he recruited four mysterious cultivators. Invite Brother Lin Feng over! Then gather all the commanders!"
"Understood."
Bai Xiong immediately went to make arrangements.
Lin Feng was the first to arrive, and learned some things from Venerable Vigil. It seemed like Venerable Oceanus was preparing to attack. Venerable Vigil was already prepared, and asked Lin Feng to guard the array.
Moreover, Lin Feng knew very well that back when he was fighting with Venerable Vigil, he vaguely sensed an aura of danger from Venerable Vigil. Clearly, Venerable Vigil had always been hiding certain trump cards, and those were some very terrifying trump cards.
As for why Venerable Vigil held off on using it to deal with Venerable Oceanus after so long, perhaps Venerable Oceanus also had a trump card that made Venerable Vigil wary, but the possibility of this was not high. If he really had a trump card, someone as power-hungry as Venerable Oceanus would have used it long ago. Why would he wait until now?
The probable case was that Venerable Vigil's trump card could not be used lightly. Once used, it might be depleted, or even disappear. Hence, it would not be used unless in a life-or-death situation.
It was the same for Lin Feng's Black Hole Pearl. Although it would not disappear after only one use, if used frequently, it would quickly lose its effect.
Hence, Lin Feng was not worried about Venerable Vigil's safety. On the other hand, since Venerable Oceanus had come to provoke him again, Venerable Vigil could no longer tolerate it and was prepared to completely resolve his grudge with Venerable Oceanus.
After today, there would probably only be one left between the Oceanus Domain and the Vigil Domain.
About an hour later, a total of 13 planetary lifeform cultivators arrived, including Bai Xiong. They were all the commanders of the Vigil Domain, and all of them were planetary lifeforms.
The fact that so many planetary lifeforms had gathered was enough to prove the conviction of Venerable Vigil.
"Everyone, there's no need for us to tolerate the repeated provocations of the Oceanus Domain! Come with me and conquer the Oceanus Domain!"
These 13 commanders all appeared very excited. They were completely tied to the Vigil Domain, and were bound together for good or ill. As long as the Oceanus Domain was around, the Vigil Domain would always be a threat, and there would be no peace.
Although Venerable Vigil had fought with Venerable Oceanus before, he had never publicly declared his intention to conquer the Oceanus Domain like today. It seemed like he had already made up his mind.
As for failure? These commanders would not consider such matters. Failure was just that, failure. Although the North River Galaxy was open and free, it was precisely because it was open and free that it was incomparably chaotic.
Once they failed, it would mean the destruction of the Vigil Domain. It would be a pipe dream for commanders like themselves to even survive.
Perhaps in other galaxies, the fall of planetary lifeforms would be an incredible and earth-shattering event. However, in the North River Galaxy, the fall of planetary cultivators was already a commonplace affair.
"All right, let's go. Don't keep Oceanus waiting!"
Venerable Vigil's expression was solemn, and his entire body emitted a murderous aura.
…
In the cold and pitch-black cosmos, Venerable Oceanus was waiting with his 14 planetary commanders and four newly recruited mysterious cultivators.
A star in the distance emitted a terrifying energy fluctuation, but no one approached it. In the North River Galaxy, any capable Dominus would basically fortify their lair into an impenetrable fortress.
It was the same for Venerable Vigil. The Array of 72 Terrestrial Banes was no ordinary array formation. Once Venerable Vigil hid in the array, even if Venerable Oceanus and all the other planetary lifeforms attacked together, they would not be able to do anything to the Array of 72 Terrestrial Banes.
That was why Venerable Oceanus had forced Venerable Vigil to leave the Vigil Domain.
"He's here!"
Venerable Oceanus's eyes narrowed slightly. He saw 15 figures fly out of the Vigil Domain in the distance. The one in the lead was Venerable Vigil.
"Fifteen people?"
Venerable Oceanus sneered. Of course he knew that Venerable Vigil had brought back a mysterious cultivator from beyond, but he was only an elementary planetary lifeform. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't be much.
At most, he'd be at the level of the commanders who were elementary planetary lifeforms, making both parties evenly matched. After all, there were 14 commanders under Venerable Oceanus.
As for the four new cultivators he had recruited, they were the secret weapons of Venerable Oceanus. Hadn't he spent so much effort to force Venerable Vigil out just for this scenario?
Hence, seeing that Venerable Oceanus had really showed himself, Venerable Oceanus was elated. As long as Venerable Vigil was willing to show himself, he felt that this plan was already halfway to success.
"Oceanus!"
Venerable Vigil stared coldly at Venerable Oceanus. Venerable Vigil also harbored discreet resentment towards the "old opponent" whom he had fought dozens of times. He was focused on cultivation, and had no intention of competing for power at all.
Yet Venerable Oceanus's avarice had deprived Vigil Domain of peace for thousands of years.
Now that he thought about it, it was indeed time to completely resolve the problem.
"Heh, Venerable Vigil, you've finally shown yourself!"
Venerable Oceanus sneered. His gaze swept past the people behind Venerable Vigil, including Lin Feng. However, his gaze only lingered on Lin Feng for an instant before he retracted his gaze.
Up until now, everything in front of him was still under his control.
"Oceanus, do you really want to fight to the death?" Venerable Vigil stared calmly at Venerable Oceanus.
Venerable Oceanus said disdainfully, "Venerable Vigil, it's absurd that you can still gain a foothold in the North River Galaxy and own such a large domain. The North River Galaxy abides by the law of the jungle. If you want resources, you have to fight for them! I know that you're very talented and dedicated to cultivation. If you give up on the Vigil Domain, we can naturally coexist in peace."
"So, there's no room for negotiation at all?" Venerable Vigil's tone was becoming colder and colder.
"Venerable Vigil, you won't give up on the Vigil Domain, because it is your foundation. Similarly, I won't give up on my goal. So, let us fight. I know that you've refined a new Origin Weapon. Let me see how much stronger you have become."
"As you wish. It's indeed time for us to end things!"
Venerable Vigil closed his eyes. A terrifying aura surged out like a storm, sweeping in all directions.

Chapter 476: They Were Fiends!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The fearsome aura on Venerable Vigil's body spread in all directions like a blazing star, emitting boundless, terrifying energy.
It expanded wildly. In the span of practically a few breaths, Venerable Vigil's combat body had already expanded to more than 10 million kilometers.
How massive was a combat body over 10 million kilometers?
Ordinary stars were only millions of kilometers in size. A combat body above ten million kilometers was ten times that! It was equivalent to ten stars. How terrifying was this?
Seeing Venerable Vigil unleash his combat body, Venerable Oceanus also threw his head back and laughed aloud. Then, his combat body instantly expanded, reaching tens of millions of kilometers in the blink of an eye as well.
However, Venerable Oceanus's combat body was indeed inferior to the Venerable Vigil's combat body. His combat body seemed to be one or two million kilometers short. Moreover, both parties had combat bodies which were relatively balanced in all aspects.
"Kill!"
Without any reservations, Venerable Vigil's combat body moved. Like an exploding star, it collided fiercely with Venerable Oceanus. How terrifying was the collision of two combat bodies over ten million kilometers?
Be it Lin Feng or the four mysterious cultivators, all of them had solemn expressions as they looked at Venerable Vigil and Venerable Oceanus.
How devastating was a battle between advanced planetary lifeforms? Ordinary elementary planetary lifeform cultivators could not so much as approach slightly.
The two of them knew each other very well, so they collided wildly from the beginning. There was no probing, and they fought head-on with their combat bodies.
Both of their combat bodies leaned towards a more comprehensive combat body, and their abilities were relatively balanced in all aspects. After all, ordinary cultivators only had one combat body. In the universe, however, one might encounter all kinds of situations. A combat body that was too extreme was not ideal. Only a combat body balanced in all aspects could deal with all kinds of situations.
However, even though both of them had relatively balanced combat bodies, their combat power was still terrifying, far exceeding the imagination of ordinary elementary planetary lifeforms.
Meteors exploded in the cosmos. They were meteors formed from the collapse of the combat body, pouring in all directions like raindrops.
If these "meteors" landed on an unprotected planet, they would probably shatter the planet into pieces. Even planetary lifeforms had to do their best to avoid them, and absolutely did not dare to touch these "meteors".
In a sense, even a drop of blood from such massive combat bodies would be more terrifying than a meteorite. It was rumored that if an advanced planetary lifeform died and their combat body collapsed, all the stars within a radius of billions of kilometers would be swept away, forming an empty region in an absolute sense.
The battle between the two of them was simply too devastating. This was a head-on battle with no regard for the cost. It was a battle where both parties would suffer heavy losses.
Both of their combat bodies were damaged relatively quickly, but it was obvious that Venerable Vigil had the upper hand.
Boom.
The two Venerables clashed head-on again. Then, the two massive bodies separated slightly. Venerable Vigil looked rather disheveled from head to toe, but the battle intent on his body grew even stronger.
"Oceanus, the Ennead Pearls of Spirit Fire I've forged are ready. I'll let you see the power of my Ennead Pearls of Spirit Fire today."
Venerable Vigil reached out and waved his hand. Immediately, nine fiery red pearls appeared in his hand. They were the Ennead Pearls of Spirit Fire.
As Venerable Vigil activated the Ennead Pearls of Spirit Fire, the nine pearls immediately expanded to the size of a huge meteor in the blink of an eye.
The nine pearls amassed together, forming a huge pearl like a planet, stretching across the void.
"Ennead True Fire, purge!"
The planet-sized pearl spun and quickly flew towards Venerable Oceanus. Moreover, a terrifying flame spewed out from the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire. Immediately, the entire void within millions of kilometers was filled with terrifying flames. It was as if the cosmos had turned into a fiery purgatory all of a sudden.
The so-called Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire actually contained the true fire in nine stars, and it had completely fused into one. How terrifying was the power unleashed at this moment?
Venerable Oceanus's expression changed drastically. Countless flames enveloped him, completely destroying his combat body cells and turning them to ashes.
"What are you waiting for? Attack!"
Venerable Oceanus let out waves of furious roars in the flames. He had lost, defeated by the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire an instant. He had underestimated the Origin Weapon that Venerable Vigil had refined indefatigably for centuries.
Now, the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire was complete. It was essentially for the purpose of dealing with Venerable Oceanus that Venerable Vigil had refined the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire at such a huge price, and with so much energy and time, for it to suppress Oceanus.
Venerable Vigil had succeeded. His hard work had not been in vain. The Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire had put Venerable Oceanus in a sorry state. His combat body was burned by the stellar flames and suffered serious damage. One percent of his combat body was lost at once.
One percent was not to be underestimated. If one had a combat body of 10 million kilometers, they would have lost 100,000 kilometers in the combat body at once. Moreover, they would have lost these 100,000 kilometers of combat body in just a blink of the eye.
There was a lot of flame stored in the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire. Even if it burned for a few months, the true fire of stars within would not be exhausted. Hence, under the constant burning of the stellar flames in the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire, in a short period of time, Venerable Oceanus's combat body was injured continuously. He had already lost at least a million kilometers of his combat body.
This was why Venerable Oceanus was so anxious.
The 14 commanders of the Oceanus Domain attacked almost without any hesitation. They all used their combat bodies in an attempt to save Venerable Oceanus.
The 13 commanders of the Vigil Domain also deployed their combat bodies and charged in. This was a terrifying, chaotic battle. In the universe, a battle between 30 planetary lifeforms was rare to come by.
Only a battle between two Domini could cause a chaotic battle on such a large scale.
As many planetary lifeform cultivators used their combat bodies, it was as if the cosmos in this region would be blasted apart. Terrifying shockwaves spread in all directions.
However, Lin Feng did not move. This was because he was only present to guard the array. As long as Venerable Vigil did not encounter any danger, he did not need to attack. In the current situation, Venerable Vigil had the complete upper hand. It was only a matter of time before he defeated Venerable Oceanus.
"It's about time."
"Venerable Oceanus is so useless. He's a dignified advanced planetary lifeform, yet he can't even hold out for such a short amount of time."
"Hmph, enough talk. Let's attack and kill Venerable Vigil together. It just so happens that Oceanus is also so weak from their fight. Once we kill Venerable Vigil, who will be able to stop us in the Vigil and Oceanus Domains?"
The four mysterious cultivators that Venerable Oceanus had recruited exchanged a look with each other, and made a decision after discussing through the transmission.
Hence, the four of them acted. Four terrifying combat bodies erupted instantly, and a terrifying pressure sealed the area for a million miles. Apart from the two Venerables, the other planetary lifeforms were actually all rendered immobile.
Although the two Venerables could still move, they still sensed immense pressure. Even their movements seemed to be impeded.
Boom.
The four of them joined forces and charged towards Venerable Vigil!
Lin Feng, who had been motionless all along, suddenly looked up after the four mysterious cultivators unleashed their combat bodies. His expression changed drastically.
"Hmm, this aura…"
Lin Feng found it a little familiar. On careful inspection, he found it all too familiar. Although this familiar aura was very, very faint, he could rely on the Law of Space to sense this aura keenly.
Lin Feng would never forget this aura.
For this was the aura of fiends!
They were fiends!

Chapter 477: Upending Understanding
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fiends. The four of them were fiends!
The four mysterious cultivators instantly unleashed their combat bodies, vaguely linking them together. They were like a huge millstone, a terrifying millstone that could crush stars. It rolled down and crushed towards Dominus Vigil.
Dominus Oceanus also counterattacked in desperation. It was unknown what kind of artifact he used, but it emitted a green light and actually restrained Dominus Vigil.
The huge millstone seemed to be able to freeze space. It was not actually freezing space, but that when power reached a certain level, it could affect space.
How terrifying was this power?
With Dominus Oceanus's desperate counterattack, the situation was reversed in an instant. Dominus Vigil was in danger instead.
Even though Dominus Vigil was well-prepared, the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire was not of much use at this moment. Dominus Oceanus counterattacked in a desperate situation. No matter how great the damage he suffered, he had to suppress the Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire and keep Dominus Vigil occupied.
All that was left was the strongest strike from the four mysterious cultivators. Dominus Oceanus knew very well how terrifying the strongest strike from these four people was. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to this "decisive battle".
Dominus Vigil really sensed a life-or-death crisis. A strong sense of danger arose in the depths of his heart. Although the four mysterious cultivators were only elementary planetary lifeforms, they could unleash such a terrifying strike when joining forces. It was simply unbelievable.
This had already exceeded Dominus Vigil's expectations. At the critical moment, he had no choice but to use his trump card. Deep down, he did not want to use his trump card. This was his life-saving trump card, and he could only use it once.
If he used his trump card this time, he would probably be in much more danger in the North River Galaxy from now on. He would no longer be able to deal with the constant threat in the North River Galaxy.
"All fiends deserve to die!"
Suddenly, Lin Feng's voice echoed through the cosmos. Even though the universe was a vacuum and did not transmit sound, Lin Feng's voice was clearly audible. Everyone was stunned.
Fiends? Where were the fiends?
Dominus Oceanus was also slightly stunned. Those four cultivators were fiends? Even a Dominus like him did not discover that they were fiends, yet Lin Feng could?
Even Dominus Vigil was a little doubtful. Was Lin Feng mistaken? Those four cultivators did not have any characteristics of fiends. How could they be fiends?
Even if Lin Feng was a disciple of the Divine Palace of Bemond, the Divine Palace of Bemond did not have a special method to distinguish fiends either, did they?
Lin Feng's words stunned many cultivators. However, the expressions of the four mysterious cultivators changed drastically, and they were immensely shocked.
"How did he discover it?"
"Boss, what should we do?"
"Forget it. Kill them. Kill Dominus Vigil first. As long as Dominus Vigil is dead, none of these people, including Dominus Oceanus, can escape!"
"That's right. Let's attack with all our might and kill Dominus Vigil first!"
Even though the four of them were spooked and did not know how Lin Feng had discovered them, they still followed their original plan of killing Dominus Vigil with all their might. Once that was done, the overall situation could be considered set.
The rolling millstone seemed almost capable of crushing the cosmos. It was shockingly strong, and had already reached the level of a top Dominus. This was simply incredible.
Just as the millstone was about to crush Dominus Vigil, Lin Feng acted!
"Greater Annihilative Combat Body!"
Without any hesitation, Lin Feng used the Greater Annihilative Combat Body.
The combat body expanded wildly, directly expanding to 120,000 kilometers. This was Lin Feng's strongest state at the moment. He still had an avatar of 20,000 kilometers on his home planet. Hence, his strongest state at this moment was the 120,000-kilometer Greater Annihilative Combat Body.
"Annihilate!"
Lin Feng struck out with his huge palm. A 120,000-kilometer combat body might already be considered a colossus among planetary lifeforms, but when facing Dominus Oceanus, Dominus Vigil, and even the huge millstone used by the four mysterious cultivators, it was just too "tiny".
It was practically the difference between an elephant and an ant.
Could an ant shake an elephant? Not unless a miracle happened!
Lin Feng unleashed a palm strike at full force with the Greater Annihilative Combat Body. The huge millstone was about to crush Dominus Vigil. However, when he saw Lin Feng attack, a smile appeared on Dominus Vigil's lips, and he heaved a sigh of relief.
Others might not know Lin Feng's strength, but how could Dominus Vigil, who had once fought with Lin Feng, not know?
Dominus Vigil had asked Lin Feng to guard the array precisely because he wanted Lin Feng to deal with some unexpected emergencies. Actually, Dominus Vigil already regarded the four cultivators quite highly, but he realized now that he had still underestimated them. He had almost made an irreversible mistake.
Fortunately, he was also prepared, and asked Lin Feng to guard the array in advance. With Lin Feng taking action, Dominus Vigil would be very at ease. So what if these four cultivators were off?
Dominus Oceanus had the help of four mysterious cultivators, and Dominus Vigil also had Lin Feng, a disciple of the Divine Palace of Bemond, guarding the array!
Boom.
In the void, the huge millstone seemed to carry a great power. Even a Dominus like Dominus Vigil could sense the threat. However, after Lin Feng's palm struck, a terrifying aftershock appeared.
The huge millstone was also shaking violently, as if it would shatter and collapse at any moment.
"Impossible!"
"How can this be? He's just a planetary lifeform."
"No, how could we have failed at the last step? We were so close."
"Damn cultivator, he ruined our plan!"
The four cultivators bellowed repeatedly, and even their expressions became twisted. They were just a little short of their goal. How could all their efforts have been in vain?
With the combined strength of the four of them and the enhancement of that Origin Weapon, they could reach the level of a top Dominus in raw offensive power.
How could a mere planetary lifeform like Lin Feng defeat their combined attack?
However, the huge millstone in the cosmos still shattered in the end, with just a single strike from Lin Feng.
It was with what appeared to be only a 120,000-kilometer combat body. As the millstone shattered, terrifying shockwaves spread in all directions. Everyone sensed the power of the aftershock for a moment before their expressions changed drastically.
It was just too powerful. This aftershock was not inferior to the aftershock from the battle between Dominus Vigil and Dominus Oceanus. In other words, the combined strength of those four cultivators was not inferior to any of the Domini.
Lin Feng, who was capable of breaking their millstone, was not inferior to Dominus Vigil in strength either!
For a moment, the commanders who were engaged in battle all stopped fighting. Their mouths were agape, as if they could not believe their eyes.
Be it Lin Feng or the four mysterious cultivators, the power they displayed now seemed to have upended their previous understanding.
Could planetary lifeforms unleash the power of the Domini? Moreover, it was at the level of powerful Domini like Dominus Oceanus and Dominus Vigil. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed it no matter what.
"You're courting death!"
The four cultivators were enraged. It was all Lin Feng's fault for ruining their plan. Hence, they no longer concealed their auras. An even more violent aura erupted.
"Fiends. They're really fiends!"
At this moment, no one doubted that these four mysterious cultivators were savage and cunning fiends!

Chapter 478: Death of the Venerable
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fiends were the public enemy of cultivators. Even in the chaotic North River Galaxy, fiends were loathed by everyone.
No one would have thought that these four cultivators were really fiends!
"You…"
Even Venerable Oceanus's expression changed drastically. He knew the danger of fiends very well. Moreover, once one was known to be colluding with fiends in the North River Galaxy, they could forget about doing anything in the future.
This could also be considered an "unspoken rule". Those who colluded with fiends were the public enemy of cultivators!
"Oceanus, I didn't expect you to dare to collude with fiends."
Venerable Vigil sneered. This time, Venerable Oceanus was finished. With such a crime, it would be hard for him to accomplish anything in the North River Galaxy in the future.
"Damn the four of you, you are actually fiends!"
Venerable Oceanus's face was ashen, and he was incomparably furious. He had suffered heavy losses this time, and had actually been severely injured. He did not expect that the four new cultivators he recruited would actually be fiends. This was simply adding insult to injury.
Actually, it did not matter if they were fiends. Venerable Oceanus was someone ambitious and ruthless. What was a slightly flawed reputation worth? He did not care about such reputation compared to tangible benefits.
If they could get rid of Venerable Vigil, even if those four people were fiends, Venerable Oceanus could tolerate it. At most, he would banish them after the matter was over. He'd have a legitimate reason for it too.
However, the key was that the four of them did not get the job done. Venerable Vigil was not dead. Then, the gains did not make up for the losses.
Their identities were exposed, and the aura on their bodies was still rising to greater heights. Although the millstone had been crushed by Lin Feng, it quickly condensed again.
Despite seeing that Lin Feng had ruined their plan, they did not attack Lin Feng. What a joke. Even if they were furious, they remained very calm.
Fiends who were incapable of staying calm would be long dead, and would never have survived until now.
"Retreat!"
The four cultivators immediately retreated. It seemed like they were retreating, but when they retreated to Venerable Oceanus's side, the four of them erupted with terrifying power again. A huge millstone crushed down hard.
It was too fast, so fast that Lin Feng and Venerable Vigil did not even have time to react. These four people were too ruthless. They attacked Venerable Oceanus directly.
Venerable Oceanus bellowed repeatedly, "How dare you!"
Venerable Oceanus was incomparably furious. Did these people think he was a pushover?
"Die!"
These four fiends had indeed regarded Venerable Oceanus as the weakest Venerable here, and he had been severely injured. Since their plan had failed this time, they had to at least collect some interest.
Hence, Venerable Oceanus became their target.
These were fiends, ruthless and savage, without the slightest trace of humanity.
The four fiends were too fast. Even Venerable Oceanus could not defend himself in time. He could only use his combat body to resist it head-on.
Boom.
When the huge millstone crushed down, Venerable Oceanus's expression changed drastically. At this moment, he felt as if his combat body was on the verge of collapse.
He had tested the strength of the four fiends before, but they were only equivalent to ordinary Venerables. How did their strength in this strike increase by so much?
The four fiends naturally had a trump card, and they had held back before. Fiends concealed themselves in the dark. How could they expose their trump card so easily?
Venerable Oceanus roared. Venerable Vigil frowned. Even if he wanted to help, it was too late.
Venerable Oceanus's combat body quickly collapsed. Then, the mouths of the four fiends seemed to have transformed into four black holes. They sucked hard and divided Venerable Oceanus's combat body, swallowing it.
A dignified Oceanus, an advanced planetary lifeform with seven life transitions, and his billions of years of ascetic cultivation had all been for naught now. Venerable Oceanus had died just like that, caught off guard. Even Venerable Vigil was slightly stunned. After fighting with Venerable Oceanus for thousands of years, he had died just like that, and his corpse had been devoured by the four demons.
For a moment, even Venerable Vigil felt a sense of lament in the depths of his heart.
All fiends deserved to die!
"Delicious, truly delicious!"
"The taste of being an advanced planetary cultivator is simply indescribable. We've never devoured a Venerable before, right?"
"Haha, I've long wanted to devour this Oceanus. If such a foolish Dominus doesn't deserve to be devoured, who does?"
"I even feel like I'm about to undergo metamorphosis…"
After these four fiends devoured Venerable Oceanus, their auras all soared. One of the fiends was even about to undergo metamorphosis.
Once he metamorphosed, he would become an advanced planetary lifeform, and a genuine Venerable!
Such was the nature of fiends. They imitated devouring lifeforms, and so did not have to comprehend Laws, or the essence of life. They did not need to spend much effort to undergo life transitions.
This was because as long as they continued to devour and make enough accumulations, they could undergo metamorphosis!
This was also the reason that while fiends were loathed by all, they continued to emerge despite repeated prohibitions. Their way of cultivation was just too convenient. There would always be people willing to take the risk.
"Since the plan has failed, there's no need for us to hide ourselves anymore. Brothers, let's eat to our hearts' content today, haha."
The four fiends all emitted monstrous auras and quickly retreated. Their speed was so fast that even Lin Feng and Venerable Vigil could not react in time.
"They escaped?"
Many people were still looking at each other. The original 14 commanders of the Oceanus Domain all had grim expressions now, not knowing what to do. After such a upheaval, even their Dominus was dead. What else could they do? Could they continue to risk their lives?
Venerable Vigil had been a Dominus for so many years. Although he was not as ambitious as Venerable Oceanus, he knew how to win over people's hearts. These 14 commanders were planetary-level cultivators. Their strength was decent, and they were worth roping in.
Hence, Venerable Vigil said to the 14 commanders of the Oceanus Domain, "Venerable Oceanus is already dead. You are the commanders of the Oceanus Domain. I believe you all know that in the North River Galaxy, once the Dominus is dead, these territorial planets belong to the victor. From today onwards, the Oceanus Domain will become a part of the Vigil Domain. Those of you who are willing to stay behind will still be commanders, but you will be the commanders of Vigil Domain! You can make your decision."
This was how things worked in the North River Galaxy. The weak were prey to the strong. When war broke out between two domains, the winner would take all.
"I'm willing to follow Venerable Vigil."
"I'm willing too."
"Respects to Venerable Vigil."
There were a total of 14 commanders, but none of them chose to leave. All of them were willing to follow Venerable Vigil. This was not to say that they were disloyal. In reality, these commanders were all planetary lifeforms that dominated a region. How could they really be as loyal to anyone as mortals?
They were just doing their jobs and obeying orders. This was also the general rule of the North River Galaxy. As long as Venerable Oceanus was alive, they could keep fighting to the death. Once Venerable Oceanus was dead, they would naturally want to protect their interests. Following Venerable Vigil would be the best choice.
After all, if they left to join the other Domini, they would have to start over from scratch, and they would have to spend a long time adapting to the domain again. It was not worth it.
If Venerable Vigil died one day, his subordinates would most likely make the same choice as well.
"Very well. All of you may follow me…"
Venerable Vigil was very satisfied, but at this moment, a dazzling light actually rose in the distant cosmos. However, the light dimmed in the blink of an eye, as if it would shatter at any moment.
The expressions of the commanders of the Oceanus Domain changed drastically. They immediately shouted, "Dominus, that's the array of our Oceanus Domain. Someone is attacking the array of our Oceanus Domain!"
Venerable Vigil and Lin Feng looked at each other, their expressions turning very solemn. They had both thought of a possibility.
Fiends. It must be those four fiends. They actually had not fled. Instead, they had gone to the Oceanus Domain. They wanted to devour the entire Oceanus Domain, while all the experts above the planetary level in the Oceanus Domain were away!

Chapter 479: Life-or-death Situation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Brother Lin Feng, what do you think?"
Venerable Vigil did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he looked at Lin Feng and asked in a negotiating tone.
No one was surprised. The strength Lin Feng had displayed previously was worthy of the respect of Venerable Vigil.
"All fiends deserve to be killed! Moreover, the current Oceanus Domain can already be considered a part of the Vigil Domain."
Lin Feng was very cool-headed. Venerable Vigil also nodded. Indeed, fiends all deserved to be killed, and everyone abhorred them. However, if that was the whole reason, Venerable Vigil might have been indifferent.
After all, the most important thing in the North River Galaxy was to be "selfish". One's own interests came before everything. Even if fiends were abhorred by everyone, no one would specially deal with fiends unless there were special circumstances.
However, the Oceanus Domain was different. As Venerable Oceanus was devoured by the fiends, the Oceanus Domain became leaderless. Naturally, they could be annexed by the Vigil Domain. From this perspective, Venerable Vigil had already regarded the Oceanus Domain as his own. How could he give it up so easily?
"Save the Oceanus Domain! Kill the Four Devils!"
Venerable Vigil led the charge. He quickly used his combat body and flew towards the Oceanus Domain as fast as possible.
…
Boom.
The array of the Oceanus Domain was shaking constantly. Originally, the array could also stop a Venerable-level cultivator, but the prerequisite was that someone had to preside over it. Moreover, the one presiding over it had to be a cultivator who was at least a planetary lifeform for it to contend with a Venerable.
Otherwise, if the powerful attack of a Venerable shook the array, basically no cultivator below the planetary level could withstand the impact.
Now, as the four fiends used their combat bodies, their entire bodies emitted a monstrous aura. One of them had even reached the critical point.
The four massive combat bodies attacked the Oceanus Domain's array fiercely. After only a few tremors, the Oceanus Domain could no longer hold out. Without a presiding planetary cultivator, no matter how powerful the array was, what use could it be?
Under the continuous tremors from the four fiends using their powerful combat bodies, the array was on the verge of collapse.
Thump.
Finally, the array of the Oceanus Domain was torn apart. The dozens of territorial planets of the Oceanus Domain were now exposed to the four fiends. Greed appeared in the eyes of the four fiends.
As long as they could devour all the dozens of territorial planets in the Oceanus Domain, the four of them would probably be able to metamorphose into advanced planetary lifeforms and become powerful Venerables. At that time, when the four of them joined forces, no one below Grand Emperors would be their match!
"Haha, brothers, let's begin devouring."
The four fiends all laughed maniacally. They aimed at four of the territorial planets and sucked with their gigantic maws. It was as if they had transformed into black holes, devouring the territorial planets of the Oceanus Domain in a frenzy.
"Ennead True Fire!"
Venerable Vigil arrived in time. He struck out with the Ennead Pearls of Spirit Fire fiercely. They transformed into the size of a planet, emitting terrifying true fire that enveloped the four fiends.
"Venerable Vigil!"
The four fiends roared repeatedly. The Ennead True Fire was no joke. Previously, it had severely injured even Venerable Oceanus. This Ennead Pearl of Spirit Fire could already be considered a trump card of Venerable Vigil.
Even ordinary Venerables could not withstand the Ennead True Fire, let alone four fiends that were merely elementary planetary lifeforms.
However, something was off about the four fiends. Their combat bodies quickly joined, and emitted a mysterious and special aura. Then, there seemed to be a suffocating pressure all around, and even the Ennead True Fire was suppressed.
Venerable Vigil and Lin Feng felt the sense of being "suppressed" again. It was very uncomfortable. If not for the fact that Lin Feng and the Venerable Vigil were not comparable to ordinary Venerables, the two of them would probably be defenseless now.
If an ordinary Venerable suddenly faced such a move from the four fiends, they would probably be unable to withstand it.
This might be how Venerable Oceanus died.
At this moment, Lin Feng immediately attacked without hesitation. He could also tell that there was something off about these four fiends. There must be something on them, perhaps an Origin Weapon.
Rumble.
Lin Feng's Greater Annihilative Combat Body struck out with another palm that blotted out everything. Although Lin Feng's combat body was simply too small compared to the combat body of Venerable Vigil, the four fiends did not dare to underestimate it at all.
Previously, Lin Feng had used this palm strike to make the four fiends suffer a hidden loss.
"Confine!"
The combat bodies of the four fiends were about to reach their limits. At this moment, they had to risk their lives. Lin Feng's strength was about the same as Venerable Vigil's. They were both equivalent to the cream of the crop among Venerables, with power equivalent to combat bodies that were tens of millions of kilometers.
It was not so easy to deal with even one of them, let alone when the two were joining forces.
In Lin Feng's opinion, these four fiends already had reason enough to be proud of themselves. They were only elementary planetary lifeforms, yet he had to join forces with Venerable Vigil to deal with them. This was sufficient to show how powerful these four fiends were. It was even somewhat unbelievable.
As the four fiends seemed to use some kind of ability again, Lin Feng clearly felt the surrounding space constrict, as if it was about to imprison him.
His heart skipped a beat. He finally understood why he had that feeling of déjà vu.
The Law of Space. This was clearly the power of the Law of Space!
Could it be that one of the four fiends had comprehended the Law of Space? However, it did not seem like it. Basically all fiends had not comprehended Laws. If they really had that kind of perseverance and comprehension ability, who would they take the risk to become a fiend?
But if they had not comprehended the Law of Space, how could they employ such a method that clearly used spatial power?
This kind of spatial "confinement" was sudden and impossible to guard against. Even Venerable Vigil was confined. Although it could not confine him for long, it was enough for the four fiends to escape their predicament.
However, they encountered Lin Feng, who happened to be a cultivator of the Law of Space. His Law of Space had even reached the planetary level!
Other cultivators, even Venerables, needed a certain amount of time to break the spatial confinement. However, Lin Feng only needed to mobilize the Law of Space to some extent before easily breaking free from the spatial confinement.
Then, Lin Feng threw another punch. This time, he unleashed his full strength, using the strongest power of the Greater Annihilative Combat Body and the Law of Annihilation.
Infinite annihilative power gathered in this punch. The terrifying power was not inferior to the Ennead True Fire of Venerable Vigil at all.
Caught off guard, the four fiends who wanted to escape as soon as possible were immediately enveloped in Lin Feng's range of attack. The combat bodies of the four fiends were severely injured by Lin Feng in an instant.
"How did you break free?"
The four fiends' eyes widened in disbelief. Relying on the Law of Space, which very few people in the universe could comprehend, they had killed countless powerful cultivators.
Many Venerables also suffered setbacks at their hand due to carelessness. Even if they could not kill the other party, they could retreat calmly.
Just like in the present, they could not defeat Lin Feng and Venerable Vigil's combined forces, but by activating the spatial confinement, they could leave at ease. Even Venerable Vigil, who was caught off guard for a moment, fell into the trap and was temporarily confined.
But how did Lin Feng manage to break free of the confinement so quickly?
No matter how hard the four of them thought about it, they could not figure it out. But they no longer needed to think about the reason. This was because they were already facing a huge crisis, and were a fine line away from death.
