Within the shrine.
Pu Ti looked down on Luo Feng, "Child, you are the most exceptional one from Earth. You've already passed many hidden tests before, there's only one last life or death path you have ahead. If you live, you become the true leader of the earthlings! You'll have the chance to become a super power in the universe, even having the possibility of reaching teacher's level."
"Reaching teacher's level?" Luo Feng was shocked.
That great being…was one of the greatest in the vast universe, and only the founder of the Huge Axe dojo in the Hong alliance could match him.
"This was what he said personally." Pu Ti emphasized. "Of course, it's just a possibility. Anything related to laws or training, techniques and so on, all relies on yourself. Just like my junior, the leader of the Yan Shen race, even after training for trillions of years, he's still weaker than teacher."
Luo Feng nodded.
Actually, the leader of the Yan Shen race, who is a power in the universe alone, and is able to make humanity not dare challenge him, was already very powerful.
"The final life or death path, what is it?" Luo Feng asked.
"Star tower!" Pu Ti said softly, "The final challenge is…make star tower recognize you as its owner!"
"Star tower to recognize me as the owner?" Luo Feng's body shook.
The process of making this treasure recognize an owner was a life or death battle?
"Teacher is extremely proficient in creating treasures. All the strongest beings in the universe are good at different things. While teacher may not compare to the Huge axe founder at certain things, in terms of creating treasures, he's definitely the best." Pu Ti exclaimed. "The vast universe has many hidden treasures, and even the strongest dare not say they've seen and know everything. This star tower…was something he created by chance within a special secret region back then. When it was close to completion, it interacted with a special gold light. Hence, it created this current star tower, making it different from the initial idea he had envisioned."
"Teacher has his own treasures and has no need for it."
"But he realized that it was too hard to let it search for its owner and recognize an owner." Pu Ti said. "The star tower is considered as one of the strongest treasures in the universe, and is even compared to teacher's treasures. The process for recognizing an owner however is extremely harsh."
"Harsh?" Luo Feng frowned.
Pu Ti looked down at Luo Feng, "Yes! The stronger the soul of the candidate, the more terrifying the process would be. A long time ago, teacher had searched among tens of thousands of warriors, from sector lord to undying, to knights etc to try. But, all of the warriors that tried had failed and died."
This great being was vicious indeed, Luo Feng thought. Casually getting a bunch of warriors to experiment, even knights were like lab rats to him.
"Through trial and error, teacher deduced…"
"That there was still a chance for sector lords and undyings. But, knights and above have no chance at all."
"The process tests one's soul and willpower!"
"Hence teacher nurtured the earthling race to have swift growths in mental states." Pu Ti said, "You are now at sector lord, and you have a chance of success. In history, among the two candidates before, one was sector lord and another was undying, and both of them had reached high levels in mental states. However, both of them still failed."
"I'm sector lord?" Luo Feng looked at him, this Pu Ti's vision had seen through everything.
"I can easily see through your soul."
"The treasure you rely on to camouflage your life energy may fool knights, but you cannot fool a universe master." Pu Ti smiled. Luo Feng realized, back then the primal chaos city leader had easily seen through him too, knowing he had other bodies and so on. And this Pu Ti was only slightly weaker than the city leader.
But he was still a universe master being.
"I know about your other bodies too."
"However the moment the process begins, you'll have no way out. Even if your primal chaos city leader teacher appeared, he couldn't save you." Pu Ti emphasized. "Even though he's very powerful, and is even considered invincible within the primal universe, however in the actual universe and in star tower itself, he cannot do a thing."
"The moment the process starts, no one can stop it."
"The moment you fail."
"Your willpower and soul will completely crumble, and you'll die." Pu Ti emphasized. "Even though your teacher can reverse time and space to revive you, he cannot revive any memory of the Nine volume manual. You cannot be revived along with that manual, it is something the universe doesn't allow."
"The moment you die."
"Even if you are revived, the Nine volume manual will be gone and the evolution you got from it will be gone. Even if you get the general and king armor again, you'll have no way to use them. In all, you'll lose the right to become the leader of the earth race, and any ability to ever get it."
Luo Feng took a deep breath. If he lost all this, his strength would fall greatly.
...
Rumble…countless sealed stars suddenly shook about the shrine.
"It's begun."
Pu Ti turned to the center of the shrine, "The process is about to begin."
"Star tower is a treasure the leader of the earth race deserves."
Xiu!
Light descended from above the shrine and gathered in the center. Countless lights were shining on one spot, forming a translucent crystal, and it glowed with gold threads within.
"Luo Feng." Pu Ti turned over. "The first candidate persevered for 2,600 years before falling. The second one went on to 3,300 years. I hope you can survive."
"Hm." Luo Feng turned to look at the crystal.
A chance to change his fate!
This entire process was a chance to change his fate.
If he failed, even if the primal chaos city leader revived him, he would lose everything in regards to the Nine volume manual. He would only be a genius without his special encounters. He would be much weaker than before and the city leader's respect for him would definitely fall. It would be lucky if he could become a knight, and a knight…in the great beings eyes, were nothing but little ants.
If he succeeded…
Becoming the leader of the earth race would give him the chance to become a superpower in the vast universe. He would even have the chance to become someone as strong as the great being himself!
"Success!"
"I have to succeed." Luo Feng roared.
"Master master." Heavy Arrow communicated mentally to him." I just fled from the space, even though I warned Qu Wu about Tian Chen, he was surrounded and ultimately killed by the demon camp! Master, where are you? I can feel your location but I cannot enter."
"Qu Wu fell?" Luo Feng couldn't help but shout out. "Tian Chen! I have to kill you!"
"Heavy Arrow, leave star tower first, and even the outer region wars. Wait patiently until I contact you via the virtual universe." Luo Feng ordered. He had given him an anonymous virtual universe network device much earlier.
"Yes master."
...
"Luo Feng, you must be sturdy, since the process is incredibly painful and long. The two candidates have proven in the past that 3,300 years still isn't enough." Pu Ti looked at him.
"Hm." Luo Feng nodded.
Kill Tian Chen?
He first had to pass this trial. If he failed and died, his own underlings will die along with him. Even if he was revived…without the general and king armor, it would be hard to even deal with Tian Chen.
"I must survive this." Luo Feng thought.
"Then begin!"
Pu Ti emphasized and gently pointed at Luo Feng. Immediately, a seemingly normal crystal without any special energy or pressure flew at him. As it touched Luo Feng, he didn't even feel it enter his mind.
"Chi!"
The instant the crystal touched with his core.
His main core hidden within his world ring shook violently. Even the mosha body and Golden horned beast's souls shook…just like how if someone controlled his human body's soul, they could completely control his other bodies!
There were three parts of the soul, but the main core was the center of it. Also, his consciousness could easily switch between the three.
Even if one body was destroyed, it was fine. However the moment his soul was taken over and he became a slave, the rest of the bodies would be affected as well.
As the crystal melded with him, it affected the main core. The moment he failed, the main core would crumble.
"I don't sense anything?"
"Didn't he say that it was very painful and would last for a long time?" Luo Feng sat crossed legged, and was curious.
Rumble!
That unbelievable terrifying pain instantly attacked all three bodies and his main core. It felt like a beast was trying to crawl out of his soul.
...
Pu Ti sat crossed legged within the shrine, his purple long beard swaying in the wind. Looking at the crossed legged Luo Feng shivering from the pain, he thought, "It's not so easy to become the leader of the earthling race. Let's hope that this third candidate will make it through."
...
There was once in his life that Luo Feng had to immolate his soul to fight the golden horned beast, that was when he possessed it.
That was when his life took a big change!
And since then, this was the second time. Everything depended on whether he could survive this…
******
Within the vast energy flows.
A being over 90,000 km tall glowed with black light. He sat crossed legged on a mountain peak. This old being had sparkling translucent horns, his voice boomed, "Meng Tuo master, I've unintentionally butted in on your fight with the humans. However, those ninety one sand grains, I want them!"
"Old punk, my race finally managed to suppress that human and now you want to simply take away one of the three treasures?" A thunderous voice shook the entire energy flow about, resounding at the over 90,000 km tall being.
"If you don't hand it over, I'll help the human." The majestic old being didn't seem disturbed at all.
Suddenly, his expression changed slightly as he turned towards the vast space, almost like he could see through any distance, straight at the star tower in the seventh battlefield.
"The third candidate has begun?" The majestic being's eyes lit up with anticipation. "Let's hope that the little punk will succeed."
"Old punk, you sure are vicious! Don't let me meet you!"
In the distance, the great being raged, causing lightning to strike throughout the energies. After which, ninety one resplendent beams of light shot over towards the old being.
"Meng Tuo master, Primal chaos city leader, I'll take my leave!" The old being laughed. Sitting on the mountain peak, he instantly became a beam of light, even the mountain peak vanished from the energies about.
