Swallowed Star - Chapter 1467. Extreme Fear
8.3 million Sector Beasts made up almost 90 percent of the strength of the entire Sector Beast race. How mighty and vast this power was! It was so strong that never, in their wildest imagination, would they have expected that such a huge number of Sector Beasts could be annihilated in a moment.
Yet it was a fact. The harsh reality was that it had truly happened. They had placed utmost faith in their ability to detect. This was the talent they had all been born with!
“All dead.”
“All of them are annihilated.”
“More than 8.3 million Sector Beasts.”
Those scattered all over the peripheral region were scared out of their wits into a daze. The number of surviving Sector Beasts was barely over 900,000. Compared to their original number, which was more than 8.3 million, this number was short of one-ninth of the total! Even the most important forces of the entire Sector Beast race had been annihilated. For those who survived, what could they possibly do?
“What should we do?”
“What should we do?”
Fear, extreme fear. They no longer had the courage to come together to deal with Milky Way Horde Leader Luo Feng. In their hearts, he was the bane of their existence! More than eight million of them had been annihilated. They, the surviving Sector Beasts, numbered barely over 900,000. Would they dare make any move at all?
If Milky Way Horde Leader were to carry out another massacre, they would truly be wiped out.

As fear was overcoming the surviving Sector Beasts, within the virtual universe, at the peak of Thunder Island, Luo Feng was walking briskly along a corridor filled with clouds. In the distance, Primal Chaos City Leader appeared.
“Teacher.” Luo Feng’s face was filled with excitement. “Success. I’ve succeeded.”
Primal Chaos City Leader was exhilarated to hear the news. For so long, he had heard no news from Luo Feng, and not a single moment passed in which he didn’t worry about his disciple’s safety—and the future of the entire human race.
“What is the exact situation?” Primal Chaos City Leader asked anxiously.
“It’s like this,” Luo Feng was quick to explain. “The Sector Beasts’ nest within the Land of Darkness houses a total of more than 9.2 million Sector Beasts! Every single Sector Beast is at least at second-stage pinnacle standard, which is comparable to the Sector Beast that I had captured alive.”
Primal Chaos City Leader was greatly taken aback. “More than 9 million?”
Heavens! Just thinking about it was a nightmare and was enough to rob one of all courage and faith.
“I felt desperate, too,” Luo Feng replied. “But fortunately, I received a treasure. A very formidable treasure. I believe this is the one chance for survival that the supreme universe law is giving us. So I went over to the Land of Darkness and, quite crazily, I started attracting as many Sector Beasts as I could. No doubt, it was tough trying to attract more than 8.3 million Sector Beasts to besiege me… Then I used this formidable treasure and activated it to its maximum power so that I could directly execute it at its greatest potential to annihilate more than 8.3 million Sector Beasts in one go. Now, the total number of surviving Sector Beasts is not even one million.”
Primal Chaos City Leader did not make a single utterance. He could only gaze back at Luo Feng with wide eyes.
He was usually a very calm and composed person. But, for one thing, more than 9 million Sector Beasts was a tremendous number. This news had given him quite a scare. Then, he was hit with the news of Luo Feng annihilating more than 8.3 million Sector Beasts by relying on just a single treasure… How could he keep his cool?
“After this battle, we all have a true opportunity at life,” Luo Feng said excitedly. “Less than one million Sector Beasts are left. Their number barely surpasses 900,000! I suppose even in an ideal situation, it may not even be possible for the birth of three sixth-stage Sector Beasts. Although that formidable treasure can only be used once, this is something the surviving Sector Beasts are unaware of. They will be fearful. I can easily think of ways to kill, destroy, and break them apart. So long as they do not produce any sixth-stage Sector Beast among them, then I truly have nothing to fear.”
“Sixth-stage Sector Beast?” Primal Chaos City Leader was in doubt.
“Well…” Luo Feng started to explain.
Teacher and disciple began their conversation, and both grew very excited as the conversation progressed. Clearly, the great victory this time around was encouraging. They could see the hope of achieving victory.
Not far away, a white-robed figure of a man appeared. It was none other than Teacher Origin. The virtual universe was his creation via the execution of a secret technique, so naturally, he would know everything that happened within the virtual universe. The content of Luo Feng and Primal Chaos City Leader’s conversation at that moment brought him great joy, too.
“Well done,” Teacher Origin whispered with his eyes filled with anticipation.
He, too, knew about the deal between Luo Feng and that willpower of the origin. So long as Luo Feng could rid the universe of the threat imposed by the Sector Beasts, the willpower of the origin would release Teacher Origin. Teacher Origin did not fear death, but if there was even the slightest possibility of being freed and making it out alive, it was something that he still looked forward to.
“How satisfying,” Primal Chaos City Leader said with overwhelming emotions.
“So this is what the situation is like.” Luo Feng was extremely excited. In less than five minutes, he had provided a complete description of everything that had happened. “Now, the surviving Sector Beasts are scattered along the peripheral area of the Land of Darkness, and they are far removed from one another. The time required to rush there would be quite lengthy. They are all so far apart… even if I want to kill them, I can only kill one or two at a time, so the following period will still be very tough.”
Primal Chaos City Leader laughed. “Hahaha! This is still much better than before.”
“True, the number of Sector Beasts earlier on truly drove me to desperation.” Luo Feng lamented. “Huh?” Luo Feng suddenly frowned.
“What is it?” Primal Chaos City Leader asked right away.
“Teacher, please wait here for a little while,” Luo Feng said.
He disappeared right away, and for the time being, he left the virtual universe. Primal Chaos City Leader could not help but worry. What had happened?
******
Within Luo Feng’s miniature universe, Morosa was pointing at the huge model of the Land of Darkness placed before it. “Master, at this very moment, the surviving 900,000 Sector Beasts in the entire Land of Darkness are all starting to make their way out of the Land of Darkness.”
“They’re trying to escape?” Luo Feng’s expression changed.
If they continued to remain within the Land of Darkness, he could take all the time in the world to slowly devour them. But this time, with more than 8.3 million Sector Beasts annihilated, the surviving Sector Beasts no longer had the courage to confront Luo Feng head-on. They all wanted to leave the Land of Darkness.
“Not escape,” Morosa replied in a low voice. “Master, the Sector Beasts are born to destroy. Even if they know that they are going to be killed, they will still bite their enemies as viciously as possible in their death throes. They do not give up easily. Even if they are unable to kill you now, Master, they will still find a way to turn the tables and change the situation. Master, you must not let your guard down.”
Luo Feng nodded.

From within the Land of Darkness of Tilted Peak Sector, Luo Feng was rapidly heading outward. The surviving Sector Beasts were originally at the peripheral region of the Land of Darkness, so naturally, they would be able to leave the Land of Darkness very quickly. As for Luo Feng, just flying out from the heart of the Land of Darkness would take him a long time.
Hua! Hua! Hua!
He flew out of Land of Darkness to arrive at the 10,000 Waves Water Region.
10,000 Waves Water Region was, in fact, incomparably vast. But the route on which Luo Feng chose to advance followed a path that would allow him to pass by Zhen Jia Emperor and Dragon Rock Ancestral God’s hiding places.
“Huh?” Luo Feng cast a quick glance. In the distance, he could see a ship bobbing up and down amidst the undulating waves. On the ship, there were two figures. One of them was an incomparably lofty metal living soul with a pair of eyes resembling two gigantic stars. The other one was an equally large, winding figure that lay entrenched on its spot, and this other figure was none other than Dragon Rock Ancestral God.
“Unexpectedly, they are still here,” Luo Feng said. “Seems like the Sector Beasts are escaping in all directions and are completely totally unconcerned about these two servants.”
Any information about the various races of Universe Ocean that Zhen Jia Emperor and Dragon Rock Ancestral God knew, the Sector Beasts would be aware of, too. And when the two of them were discovered to be spies, they had naturally lost their usefulness. At that moment, the Sector Beasts were in their greatest predicament. Would they even be bothered about the life and death of these two mere servants?
“Zhen Jia.” Dragon Rock Ancestral God said in a low voice, “I’m so full of regrets. If I had chosen to fight it out back then, maybe I would still have a chance of escape. Then I wouldn’t be in such a sorry state now.”
“What are your regrets?” Zhen Jia Emperor said. “Back then, the three of us were facing such a powerful Sector Beast that resistance meant death! We could only choose to surrender… Weren’t we doing well back then? No one from the various races of Universe Ocean knew that we were spies. Who would have expected someone like Luo Feng to turn up or for the World of Jin to appear? This has caused the various races of Universe Ocean to surpass us in terms of power, which eventually brought us down to such a sorry state.”
The two of them were the common enemy of the entire Universe Ocean.
“Eh?”
Zhen Jia Emperor and Dragon Rock Ancestral God were dealt a sudden shock.
They saw from afar a gigantic divine eye that had appeared suddenly to be suspended in void space. That very moment, 10,000 Waves Water Region around them and the big ship they were supposedly onboard completely vanished. Even the companion beside them disappeared. Within the void space, they were left alone with that divine eye suspended high in the void space. The divine eye was radiating dazzling rays. Then a strong, absolute willpower swept through the surroundings.
Zhen Jia Emperor and Dragon Rock Ancestral God were both rendered powerless against this willpower, as they immediately fell down and lost consciousness. Everything within their consciousnesses was pitch blackness.
When the two of them regained consciousness, Zhen Jia Emperor and Dragon Rock Ancestral God looked at their surroundings. “This place…?” It was a vast land amid pitch blackness. “What is this place?”
“Where are we?” Zhen Jia Emperor and Dragon Rock Ancestral God were both flustered.
Suddenly, a cold voice resounded, roaring, “This is prison!”
Luo Feng was not in a rush to kill Zhen Jia Emperor and Dragon Rock Ancestral God, whom he had easily apprehended and confined within Star Tower. Because they were the main conspirators behind Huge Axe’s annihilation, there were many among the human race who wanted to kill them. Take Primal Chaos City Leader, for instance—his hatred for them ran so deep that the mere thought of them made him clench his teeth with fury. He would have loved to tear their flesh apart and devour them alive!
Sou!
Luo Feng advanced outward speedily. Then he progressed along the route near the “space of the wings” where he quickly made his exit out of Tilted Peak Sector.
“To the entrance of Tilted Peak Sector.”
The moment he entered the water region, he knew it would not be long before he made it out of Tilted Peak Sector. Instead, Luo Feng flew toward the entrance of Tilted Peak Sector that was situated on a tall mountain.
“I shall stand guard here,” he said to himself. “The Sector Beasts are leaving Tilted Peak Sector, so this entrance is mainly where they have to pass through. The moment one comes out, I’ll kill one. If ten come out, I’ll kill ten.”
Still, Luo Feng was worried. The main body of Tilted Peak Sector was actually an incomparably towering mountain, which had been later cut into two, right down the middle. This was why the exit was so broad! Even someone like Luo Feng could only manage to keep watch over a small region.
******
Within Luo Feng’s miniature universe, his godly powered avatar was staring at that gigantic model of the Land of Darkness, watching the paths of the surviving Sector Beasts. Beside him, Morosa said, “Master, the fastest Sector Beast is going to reach the exit point soon.”
“Hmm.” The godly powered avatar was listening carefully. As for Luo Feng’s original body, he was already on that path, awaiting it.
“It stopped,” Morosa realized in shock. “It is still a distance away from the exit point, but it has stopped.”
“What has it stopped for?” Luo Feng frowned.
Time passed. One after another, the Sector Beasts would arrive a substantial distance away from the exit point and stop. Very soon, more than 450,000 Sector Beasts, scattered all over, had stopped in an area relatively far from the exit.
And the other 450,000 Sector Beasts had parked themselves behind the first half, even further from the exit. Similarly, all of them were scattered about. Every Sector Beast would stay far away from the others around it.
“Advance.”
“Advance.”
The surviving 900,000 Sector Beasts were divided into two groups. The group of 450,000 at the front would be the first to head for the exit. Every beast was far apart from one another, and they were scattered in all directions. Learning this brought a change to Luo Feng’s expression because it meant that he could only kill one Sector Beast at a time!
Once the other Sector Beasts had determined Luo Feng’s location, they would immediately teleport far away to escape from him; the moment they managed to escape via the exit point, they would enter Universe Ocean. Once they were in the vastness of Universe Ocean, how was Luo Feng going to catch them all?
