Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 102 Chaos City Lord, Teacher, I Have Been Granted a Marquisate! (Daily subscription requested)
virtual universe.

Rain Mountain, Thunder Island, the main hall of the Chaos City Lord.

Luo Feng could enter the main hall without prior notice. Step by step, he walked into the hall and saw the Lord of Chaos City.

"Teacher," Luo Feng greeted respectfully.

"What brings you to see me this time?"

The Lord of Chaos City glanced at his disciple, Jin Fu, as he listened to Jin Fu continuously reporting on Luo Feng's cultivation progress.

There was no pause whatsoever.

Furthermore, Jin Fu also mentioned that he was gradually falling behind Luo Feng's progress in understanding some aspects of the Path of the Beast God, and he was beginning to misunderstand some of the subtle details.

After reaching the Realm Lord level, this disciple's comprehension seems to have reached a new level...

Even the Lord of Chaos City, a master of the universe, felt mad. It was astonishing that someone who had only been a world lord for about twenty years could already maintain a stable position in the Primal Secret Realm.

In a few thousand years, perhaps the original Tongtian Mountain will be able to be opened up.

However, Luo Feng's first words surprised him.

"Teacher, I've come to you today because I want you to grant me some access to the extraterritorial battlefields," Luo Feng said.

He then continued:
“I plan to send my clone, under an assumed name, into the extraterritorial battlefield. Because I need to conceal my identity, I would like you to help me forge a seemingly flawless identity.”

"Hmm? How did you come up with this idea? Because of Dylan's death?" The Chaos City Lord couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how dangerous the extraterrestrial battlefield is? There, the highest level is invincible king, like your teacher, True King Yan."

"There's no need to be crowned king and invincible at all."

“Some ordinary kings and marquises... only need to be skilled in soul manipulation to enslave you. Once enslaved, even I cannot reverse time and resurrect you.”

"Teacher, I understand." Luo Feng understood this perfectly, which is why he planned to use the 'Soul Devouring Domain Beast' clone to investigate outside. The Soul Devouring Domain Beast had no soul and was not afraid of being enslaved by a soul; at worst, it could just self-destruct!
The Lord of Chaos advised, "Giving you the authority to create another identity is nothing."

"But your safety is of utmost importance."

"Do you remember what Giant Axe said before, that he would give you something when you go to the outer battlefield?"

"I remember." Luo Feng nodded. He didn't know what the founder of the giant axe had said he would give him.

"That's an ordinary soul treasure, extremely valuable. With such a treasure, you won't have to worry about being enslaved on the battlefield outside the domain; at least you'll have the chance to self-destruct," the Chaos City Lord continued.

Changing the subject:

"but."

"With your current strength, it would be easy to expose the fact that you possess a soul treasure once you go in. For example, if a powerful person attacks your Golden Horned Beast clone but fails to enslave it, they would definitely guess that you have a powerful treasure."

"Then he will definitely seek to kill you materially, and then seize the treasure. Even if the treasure is exposed, you will not survive."

"The treasure is just giving you a chance to live."

"So that you won't be enslaved and die completely! At least you'll have time to commit suicide."

"Although you will only lose an avatar, you will lose your precious soul treasure... Most geniuses don't get this treatment. All of this is to protect your safety. My suggestion is that you cultivate for a while longer, until you reach at least the Marquis level, before you go in!"

'A treasure of the soul?' Luo Feng never expected that the treasure promised by the creator of the giant axe would actually be a treasure of the soul.

If so.

His methods of survival were even more comprehensive.

Firstly, the Golden Horned Beast carries a Soul Treasure, so there's no need to worry about being enslaved; secondly, the Soul Devouring Domain Beast has no soul at all, so there's no need to worry about that either.

And be careful, start the attack from the outside, then...
You're unlikely to be granted a royal title!

"I've explained everything clearly. Do you still want to go?" the Chaos City Lord asked.

Luo Feng stated frankly, "Teacher, I plan to go, and my Golden Horned Beast already possesses the combat power of a Marquis."

"They already possess the fighting strength to be granted the rank of Marquis?" The Chaos City Lord paused.
He was granted the title of Marquis for over a hundred years. Yet, for hundreds of epochs, he did not become the Lord of the Universe, or even a true god.

is it possible?

"Are you sure it's not that you've grasped the laws of the universe to become a Marquis, but rather that your overall combat strength has reached the level of a Marquis?" The Chaos City Lord knew that Luo Feng had exceptionally high comprehension; it would be difficult for a normal person to master a domain even in over a hundred years.

But for Luo Feng, it's not surprising that his understanding of the laws has reached the level of a Marquis.

Can.
The foundation of a peak Realm Lord is far from that of a Marquis. It is no easy task to reach the Marquis level while still at the Realm Lord level.

His former disciple, 'Kodi', had only achieved the highest level of being a World Lord who had killed a Marquis and was at the King level. However, Kodi had spent a long time cultivating before reaching that level, and he also had many opportunities.

Luo Feng said frankly, "I have also had some special opportunities and have indeed gained the strength to be a marquis. Would you like to test me, Master?"

"..." The Lord of Chaos City paused.

The Lord of Chaos City didn't quite believe that someone could have been a marquis for over 120 years.

But if Luo Feng said it so firmly, he would believe it was possible.
But to be granted a marquisate in just over a hundred years is simply too astonishing, and he wanted to test his fighting prowess.

But my disciple has never lied before. If he asks to be tested now, wouldn't that mean that I, as his teacher, don't trust him?

The Chaos City Lord recalled some things that the Primordial Ancestor had repeatedly instructed him on:
'My teacher told me that I should treat disciples like Luo Feng with respect and not be so rigid and strict. He told me to learn from Zhen Yanwang.'

'If it is the true King Yan.'

'There's definitely no testing going on right now.'

'If he says it exists, then it exists.'

'What I should do now is trust him.'

'This kid has created so many miracles; if he truly possesses the fighting prowess to be ennobled over 120 years ago, it doesn't seem so unbelievable.'

Even if he didn't have it, losing in the extraterrestrial battlefield would only mean losing a soul treasure. It would be a loss of his own treasure, a lesson learned, and wouldn't affect his life.

The soul is a priceless treasure.

In the original storyline, Venerable Guiyi borrowed a soul treasure from Luo Feng, which also shows that Venerable Guiyi did not have a soul treasure. It also shows that if Venerable Guiyi had a soul treasure, it would be a huge boost.

When a soul attack does not reach the defensive limit of the Soul Treasure, the Soul Treasure can provide perfect defense!
A battlefield of that level, outside the region, would essentially eliminate the possibility of Luo Feng being enslaved.

The Lord of Chaos City pondered for a moment, and finally said:

"Your teacher believes you have the fighting ability to be ennobled, so there's no need to test you."

"However, the giant axe is not in space right now. I will contact the giant axe later and someone will deliver that treasure to Chaos City. You can come to Chaos City as well."

"Once I obtain the treasure, I will hand it over to you."

"However, you must remember that this soul treasure is the only one you can obtain during your World Lord era. If you lose this treasure, even with your talent, your clan will not give you a second one to save your life before you become immortal."

"At that time, for your safety, I will not allow you to enter the extraterritorial battlefield before you become immortal, nor will I allow you to leave the human territory."

Do you understand?

"Disciple understands, Master, this is for my safety." Luo Feng fully understood the Chaos City Lord's meaning.

In the eyes of the Chaos City Lord, if Luo Feng did not have a means to protect his soul, he would be at risk of complete annihilation on the battlefield outside the domain. This was not the case for the human race, nor was it something the Chaos City Lord wanted to see.

Seeing that Luo Feng understood everything, the Lord of Chaos City respected Luo Feng's opinion.

Finally, he said:

"Then come on, come to Chaos City, take the Soul Treasure first! The treasure is precious, but with your genius, even the Soul Treasure is not as precious as your life!"
