It is one of the few who, within the Golden Core Domain, have already glimpsed the existence of Destruction Law Power."The Shen Family wants me to deal with Ling Feng in the Black Water Star Realm."
Bao Fu conveyed the message to Owof.
"How does the elder brother plan to act?"
Owof inquired.
"Ling Feng is a heroic figure, daring to challenge Shen Rufeng, trying to break Shen Rufeng’s Law. To be honest, I admire him greatly."
Bao Fu remarked.
"You wish to defy the Shen Family’s order."
Owof couldn’t conceal his excitement.
Both he and Li Mubai prided themselves on defeating the masters of the Shen Family, and news of the Black Water Star Realm cultivators attempting to break Shen Rufeng’s Law had reached them.
The Baruch Clan did not mock the Black Water Star Realm cultivators as overestimating themselves nor consider Ling Feng and others as delusional.
Instead, they greatly respected what Tianshui Master and others had done and felt disgrace for the actions of the Duan Family.
"Shen Rufeng, in order to kill Ling Feng, has already dispatched three Dao Seeds into the Black Water Star Realm, who were killed by Qiankunzi and others. Black Water Star Realm has already torn face with Shen Rufeng, and to successfully transcend the tribulation, Shen Rufeng will spare no respect for the Upper Alliance and will surely find ways to kill Ling Feng.
This time, Shen Rufeng’s disciple, Zhao Rushuang, summoned us to the Black Water Star Realm; it’s essentially a summit meeting but in actuality meant to kill Ling Feng.
Indeed, I think this time Zhao Rushuang will stop at nothing to kill Ling Feng.
So whether or not I agree to Zhao Rushuang’s request, Ling Feng’s fate is a dead end, and even Qiankunzi might not be spared, unless he can watch Ling Feng walk to his death without intervention."
Bao Fu analyzed.
"This... you still want to go."
Owof discerned the underlying message.
"I have no choice but to go!"
Bao Fu said helplessly: "Shen Rufeng is determined to kill Ling Feng, and unless the Alliance intervenes, no one can stop it. Even if Qiankunzi’s soul power undergoes a second transformation, using Great Divine Techniques to achieve Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation, Ling Feng is surely dead."
"Ling Feng is the youngest Soul Master in the Basic Star Realm and will be the strongest potential Golden Core expert in the Basic Star Realm. Isn’t this enough to make the Alliance face the Shen Family directly?"
Owof said angrily.
Though he lost to Ling Feng, he was full of admiration for the Black Water Star Realm’s strong men. He always felt that Ling Feng was the chosen one; otherwise, how could he grow to the current level in such an environment in the Black Water Star Realm?
"Do you think the Alliance will confront the Shen Family directly for a star realm under Shen Family’s control?"
Bao Fu asked rhetorically.
"This..."
Owof was at a loss for words.
"The Alliance seems to be a large collective, but in reality, it’s pursuing its own interests. Whoever controls the Alliance will not confront the Shen Family hard for a star realm controlled by the Shen Family.
Because it violates the collective interest, do you understand?"
Bao Fu said.
"Hum, if Ling Feng luckily survives, successfully breaking the Black Water Star Realm Law and even comprehending the Black Water Star Realm Law, becoming the master of the Black Water Star Realm, I hope the Alliance won’t regret it."
Owof said angrily.
"The Alliance is smarter than all of us. If Ling Feng has that capability, the Alliance wouldn’t let Shen Rufeng harm Ling Feng. The fear is that Ling Feng doesn’t yet have the absolute potential to break Shen Rufeng’s Law."
Bao Fu shook his head.
Facing the always powerful Shen Family, the Alliance can bend and stretch, avoiding offending the Shen Family if possible, always looking for ways to cooperate and maintain harmony with the Shen Family.
Just hoping this star realm can be in a stable state.
But Bao Fu and many others know that all this is because the Alliance is weak. If the Alliance were strong enough, it wouldn’t think about maintaining star realm stability with the Shen Family, but rather find ways to annex the Shen Family.
This is even more domineering than the Shen Family.
"What does Ling Feng need to absolutely have the potential to break Shen Rufeng’s Law?"
Owof questioned.
"At least for now, he needs to penetrate his power into Ancient Blue Star, soul power reaching Great Success, and even Great Success, Five Elements Law Power approaching Great Success, and condensing into a Six-star Golden Core.
Even with all these conditions achieved, he may not necessarily gain the Alliance’s approval.
Unless...he possesses a unique power, like having soul power achieve perfection and even transformation at a young age, or Five Elements Laws reaching perfection, or condensing the strongest Golden Core!"
Bao Fu sighed.
"It’s not that easy."
Owof felt suffocated.
Ling Feng, though exceedingly gifted, faced enormously stringent requirements for each condition.
Soul power transformation.
As of now, it’s rumored that only Qiankunzi has reached this realm.
As for Seven-star Golden Core.
Throughout the Basic Star Realm, few can accomplish such a feat. Moreover, Ling Feng is already the youngest Soul Master in the Basic Star Realm; not all halos can be concentrated on Ling Feng, can they?
"I feel it might be achievable."
Bao Fu couldn’t help but laugh.
Owof didn’t know where Bao Fu’s confidence came from; Bao Fu continued, "If Qiankunzi and others had not seen hope in Ling Feng, I believe they wouldn’t have killed Shen Rufeng’s people, dare to turn against Shen Rufeng; at least it shows Qiankunzi and others are confident in resisting Shen Rufeng.
What I’m curious about now is where does Qiankunzi and the others’ confidence come from?
Could it be that Ling Feng has unknown power?"
"That’s why you must go to the Black Water Star Realm."
Owof had a sudden realization.
"This is just one of the reasons. What truly moves me is that Zhao Rushuang invited all top ten experts of the Heavenly List. Over the years, I have moved from thirty-third place to ninth, and I want to see if Duanmu Ci can still dismantle all my power with one sword like before."
Bao Fu’s eyes were filled with blazing battle intent.
"Duanmu Ci!"
Owof felt suffocated.
Couldn’t help but say: "Ten years ago, he defeated Duan Zhou with one sword and smoothly entered the Intermediate Star Realm for cultivation. So many years have passed, yet he remains first on the Heavenly List, still hasn’t comprehended a Dao Seed, could it be true that he wants to comprehend a Nascent Soul Dao Fruit with innate Divine Techniques?"
"Shen Family has many secret divine techniques. If he could gain Shen Family’s full support, it’s not impossible; however, to comprehend a Nascent Soul Dao Fruit with innate Divine Power supposedly requires even Shen Family disciples to first use Great Divine Power as assistance, establish the strongest Seven-star Golden Core foundation first to successfully comprehend a Dao Seed with innate Divine Power.
Though Duanmu Ci defies the heavens, the grade of his Golden Core as I have now is only Six-Star."
Bao Fu shook his head.
He didn’t quite believe Duanmu Ci could comprehend a Nascent Soul Dao Fruit with innate Divine Power.
But even if unsuccessful, the Nascent Soul Power of others isn’t something ordinary Nascent Soul experts can confront.
"Duan Zhou, back then like you, defeated by a single sword from Duanmu Ci, surely he wouldn’t miss Shen Family’s summon, especially considering Duan Shumo’s Golden Core was recently destroyed by Ling Feng."
Owof reminded, feeling a surge of excitement inside. This time the top talents entering the Black Water Star Realm were all renowned beings, and it was even possible to see Shen Family experts from the Intermediate Star Realm.
Even he was eager to head once more to the Black Water Star Realm.
"So this time, no one can save Ling Feng; only Ling Feng himself can. Even our Baruch Clan, in many aspects, must yield to the Shen Family; Ling Feng’s mistake was being born in the wrong place; if he were a life of Yulan Star Realm, then he... alas, what a pity."
Bao Fu appreciated Ling Feng greatly.
Yet unable to help Ling Feng, his feelings were very complex.
"Let me accompany my brother. If Ling Feng’s fate is to face such a tribulation, I will bring back his flesh to Yulan Star Realm for burial, hoping Heavenly Dao will show mercy, giving him a chance for rebirth."
Owof prayed.
"Rest assured, Ling Feng will not be alone."
Bao Fu said meaningfully; he knew Shen Rufeng would either not act or go all the way to the extreme; by then, those who would die in the Black Water Star Realm would certainly not be just Ling Feng alone, even Qiankunzi and others might not be spared.
Owof naturally understood the underlying message, internally blaming the Upper Alliance for being too realistic, thinking that even if Ling Feng and others couldn’t return the Black Water Star Realm to the Alliance, they could be taken away to negotiate with Shen Rufeng.
For example, let Ling Feng leave the Black Water Star Realm and not attempt to break the Black Water Star Realm’s Law, Shen Rufeng thereby spares Ling Feng and others.
However, after careful consideration, Owof thought even if Ling Feng and others were willing to concede, Shen Rufeng might potentially not agree.
