Chapter 608 - Chapter 608 Punishment and Compensation

"King Nightmare Candle, are you out of your mind!"

King Han Mountain's expression changed drastically when he saw King Nightmare Candle about to activate the Heavy Treasure bestowed by his father, regardless of the cost.

Luo Feng had cleared the Universe Level Creation Peerless Peak, and was also a Personal Disciple of Night Bright Country Lord, a peerless Genius highly valued by the top echelons of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company.

If such a Genius were to fall into King Nightmare Candle's hands, even if it was a fall that allowed for revival, it would be enough to enrage the company's highest echelons.

Such consequences, even if King Nightmare Candle was the only son of a Universe Venerable, he would still be unable to bear them!

But King Nightmare Candle's face was distorted, his eyes filled with madness, and he couldn't hear King Han Mountain's shouts, simply because a pair of disdainful and contemptuous vertical pupils appeared in his mind, and a sentence constantly echoed.

"After Cultivating for tens of thousands of years, you're only at this level. You're not even qualified to challenge me, you're not good enough."

At this moment, King Nightmare Candle was in a frenzy, completely disregarding the consequences of attacking Luo Feng, even if the attack would mean a life for a life!

"Die!"

King Nightmare Candle roared madly, the ancient secret pattern on his forehead suddenly lit up, and an incredibly terrifying aura permeated in all directions, as if a peerless Ferocious beast was slowly awakening.

Whoosh!

A slit directly opened on King Nightmare Candle's forehead, revealing a purple vertical eye, which burst forth with purple light, scanning the surrounding space and causing it to solidify.

Luo Feng faced the solidified space around him with an indifferent and cold expression.

He knew that King Nightmare Candle might act recklessly the moment he made the sarcastic remark, and thus he could face death calmly.

Anyway, his teacher was a great existence capable of reversing Time, so even if he died, he could be revived by reversing Time.

If he died, King Nightmare Candle shouldn't even think about living!

Him, a Domain Master, for the life of a King Immortal, it wasn't too much of a loss.

Boom!

Ripples spread across the starry sky, and a pressure suddenly descended, then everything around seemed to freeze.

Space and Time, the subtle particles rippling in the Universe, even the purple light emanating from the purple vertical eye on King Nightmare Candle's forehead, which could solidify space, also stopped moving.

A silver figure gradually appeared in the starry sky.

The newcomer was clad in silver armor, with black hair dancing without wind, standing with arms crossed in the starry sky, his black vertical pupils looking down upon everything below.

Although the starry sky above was dark, the soft glow emitted by the silver figure seemed even more brilliant than the sun, illuminating millions of kilometers around.

"Heh."

A contemptuous laugh rang out, and everyone below felt an endless pressure; even the secret art King Nightmare Candle used was forcibly interrupted.

Then, Time returned to normal, and everyone present showed astonished expressions, while the endless pressure forced them to lower their heads.

"Universe Venerable, a Universe Venerable has arrived!"

"Time Stop, this must be a Universe Venerable who has comprehended the Time Law."

"This Venerable arrived just in time, otherwise King Nightmare Candle would have truly caused a huge mess!"

"Damn it, if I had known King Nightmare Candle was so crazy, I shouldn't have agreed to investigate further."

The four responsible persons whispered to themselves, feeling both fortunate and annoyed with King Nightmare Candle.

"As ugly as ever, Meng Chaluo."

Nineteen stood in the Void, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain, looking down at King Nightmare Candle, who was gritting his teeth, resisting with all his might, yet still had to lower his head.

"Arthur... Royce!"

King Nightmare Candle gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes seemingly spitting fire.

Even with his head lowered, he could still feel that same contemptuous and disdainful gaze.

Those black vertical pupils, those scenes of being repeatedly trampled, appeared in his mind like a Heart Demon!

"Let me see what exactly happened."

Nineteen split off a wisp of his consciousness, using his super-high authority to check everything that had just happened in the Virtual Universe.

"Truly getting worse and worse."

A moment later, Nineteen sighed and shook his head, "Meng Chaluo, have your father come to see me. You are not qualified to speak with me."

The Immortals below couldn't help but tremble at these words.

Among the Immortals who followed King Nightmare Candle, several knew that King Nightmare Candle's father was Venerable Fire Erosion, a super powerful individual from Huge Axe Dojo.

This made them secretly marvel at the identity of the descending Universe Venerable, whose status seemed even higher than that of Venerable Fire Erosion, a super powerful individual.

Boom!

Without any warning, a man in silver armor with a stern, square face appeared, and a powerful pressure immediately spread out.

Nineteen slightly turned his head, not surprised by the arrival of the newcomer.

"Venerable Radiance?"

Instead, the square-faced man was extremely surprised to see Venerable Radiance arrive earlier.

"Venerable Ten Thousand Forest is here." Nineteen nodded in response.

"How could I not come..."

Venerable Ten Thousand Forest shook his head slightly, "I didn't expect Venerable Radiance, you, to arrive earlier than me, who is responsible for guarding."

Nineteen looked down at King Nightmare Candle, a contemptuous smile on his face, "Heh, if I didn't arrive early, my Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company's peerless Genius would have fallen into the hands of our own Human race."

"Truly foolish."

Venerable Ten Thousand Forest glanced at King Nightmare Candle, his brows slightly furrowed.

To be honest, he hadn't expected things to escalate to this point. Luo Feng was, after all, a Personal Disciple of a Universe Venerable on the surface. How could King Nightmare Candle be so unwise as to try to kill him?

Moreover, Venerable Ten Thousand Forest didn't believe Luo Feng was a Personal Disciple of Night Bright Country Lord.

He was, after all, a High-level Venerables who Cultivated the Beast God Path, and he had also witnessed the rise of Void River Master, one of the great existences of the Human race, step by step.

Cultivating the Beast God Path requires talent, and Luo Feng possessed this talent, and it was not low!

With such talent, the possibility of Luo Feng joining Night Bright Country Lord's sect was extremely low.

On the contrary, the possibility of joining a great existence like Void River Master's sect was greater!

Otherwise, how could some of Luo Feng's fallen friends have suddenly been revived?

Of course, it's not ruled out that Luo Feng joined Night Bright Country Lord's sect, and then Night Bright Country Lord, as his teacher, stepped forward to ask the two great existences of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company to act.

"Things have escalated to this point, and I, the Venerable responsible for managing the nine trash Starfields, have been somewhat derelict in my duty."

Venerable Ten Thousand Forest sighed, "If I had handled the assassination attempt on Luo Feng, this wouldn't have happened."

"The assassination attempt was a minor matter, not enough for Venerable Ten Thousand Forest to handle personally."

Nineteen shook his head slightly, "Since things have come to this, let's wait for Venerable Fire Erosion to arrive before discussing."

"Good."

Venerable Ten Thousand Forest nodded slightly.

King Nightmare Candle intended to harm the peerless Genius of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company. Now that Venerable Radiance has arrived, naturally, they must wait for the Universe Venerable from Huge Axe Dojo to arrive for discussion.

The Immortals from Wu Long Starfield below, hearing the conversation between the two Universe Venerables, only felt that the situation was becoming increasingly unmanageable, and they had a bad premonition.

Especially the responsible persons of the four major giants in Wu Long Starfield: Virtual Universe Company, Universe Mercenary Alliance, Universe Star River Bank, and Universe First Bank, each secretly complained.

They hadn't expected that their concessions would lead a small matter to escalate to a point where three Universe Venerables needed to descend to handle it.

"I didn't expect that at this critical moment, Martial Uncle Venerable Radiance would descend to save me."

Luo Feng didn't feel the strong pressure, so he pondered, "King Nightmare Candle's arrogance must be due to his father, Venerable Fire Erosion, backing him."

"With a Universe Venerable as a father, it's no wonder King Nightmare Candle could make other responsible persons concede in Wu Long Starfield."

He then suddenly recalled the power unleashed by the vertical eye on King Nightmare Candle's forehead when he went mad.

That feeling of everything in the vast Universe disappearing, leaving only that one vertical eye suspended in the starry sky, still left him with shock.

Thinking this, Luo Feng was somewhat curious: what confidence did King Han Mountain have to not fear King Nightmare Candle?

However, the arrival of Martial Uncle Venerable Radiance made him associate it with the Divine Power token King Han Mountain crushed, which was probably his Martial Uncle's.

Boom!

Just as Luo Feng was guessing, an overbearing pressure descended.

Then, a figure appeared in the starry sky, hazy and indistinct, surrounded by raging black flames.

The Universe starry sky was incinerated into particle streams, and the large amount of spatial debris and turbulence in the spatial interlayer were also burned into particle streams by these black flames.

"Venerable Fire Erosion, a super powerful individual from Huge Axe Dojo."

Luo Feng looked at the domineering and powerful figure, muttering to himself. "Venerable Radiance."

From within the raging black flames, Venerable Fire Erosion's authoritative voice rang out.

"Fire Erosion."

Nineteen had a faint smile on his face, and at the same time, the powerful pressure receded, releasing the suppression on everyone below.

"Fire Erosion."

Venerable Ten Thousand Forest also greeted him.

"Forest, I've caused you trouble." Venerable Fire Erosion's voice was low.

"You should discuss this matter with Venerable Radiance." Venerable Ten Thousand Forest didn't want to interfere.

"Venerable Radiance, King Nightmare Candle was in the wrong in this matter."

Although Venerable Fire Erosion was very proud, he had to bow his head to Venerable Radiance, who possessed many precious Heavy Treasures and whose strength was nearly that of a Top-tier Universe Overlord.

"Father!"

King Nightmare Candle saw Venerable Fire Erosion bow his head, and his eyes showed disbelief. How could his incredibly proud father bow so easily?

"Shut up!"

Venerable Fire Erosion reprimanded, his voice filled with anger.

Being scolded so by his always-loving father, King Nightmare Candle couldn't help but lower his head. He knew his father was truly angry.

"Fire Erosion, how do you propose to resolve this matter?"

Nineteen glanced at King Nightmare Candle and asked, "King Nightmare Candle tried to kill a peerless Genius from my Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, violating the prohibition issued by the highest council of the Human race."

Facing the combined forces of the three Pinnacle races—Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race—the Universe Masters at the highest level of the Human race had issued a prohibition at the highest council, forbidding Immortal from harming Geniuses of the race without cause.

Hearing this, Venerable Fire Erosion said coldly, "King Nightmare Candle, you have violated the racial prohibition. I sentence you to serve in the Ninth Starfield Prison for ten thousand epochs!"

"Father!"

King Nightmare Candle suddenly looked up, his eyes wide.

The other Immortals around him were all stunned by these words.

Oh my God!

Ten thousand epochs in the Ninth Starfield Prison, this was absolutely a very severe punishment.

One must know that the most severe prison in the Human Territory was the legendary Eighteenth Starfield Prison.

The lowest danger level was the First Starfield, and the highest danger level was the Eighteenth Starfield. King Immortal who entered might not even come out alive.

Last time, when King Nightmare Candle had a conflict with King Zhenyan, he was thrown into the Ninth Starfield Prison for 1,000 years, and he was well-behaved for a long time after coming out.

Now, ten thousand epochs in prison will definitely become a long nightmare for King Nightmare Candle!

"This punishment is sufficient."

Nineteen's face showed satisfaction upon hearing this, "What about compensation?"

Venerable Fire Erosion threw out a black sphere, "This is a Soul-type pseudo-Heavy Treasure, it's enough as compensation."

"About right."

Nineteen nodded slightly, took the black sphere, and then casually threw it to Luo Feng below.

Whoosh!

Luo Feng instinctively reached out and caught it, finding a black sphere in his hand, which drew envious glances from the surrounding King Immortal.

"This is a Soul-type pseudo-Heavy Treasure, a treasure for guarding the Soul?"

Feeling the gazes of the King Immortal around him, Luo Feng knew this was definitely an extraordinary treasure, likely of the same type as the treasure carried by his human main body.

This black sphere was a Soul-type pseudo-Heavy Treasure, valued at 3-10 Heavy Treasure points, which Nineteen didn't care for.

However, for Luo Feng, this Soul-type pseudo-Heavy Treasure was a rare and valuable item.

"Come back with me."

Venerable Fire Erosion grabbed with one hand and teleported away with King Nightmare Candle.

"Han Mountain."

Nineteen called out.

"Venerable."

King Han Mountain quickly bowed and responded.

"You did well this time, you didn't disgrace my Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."

Nineteen's gaze swept over the responsible persons of the other major forces, shaking his head, "Unlike them, each and every one of them..."

"Never mind, since the matter is resolved, I should leave as well."

"Yes."

King Han Mountain bowed respectfully, then saw Nineteen disappear into the starry sky.

"Luo Feng."

Venerable Ten Thousand Forest glanced at the four responsible persons, then looked at Luo Feng.

"Venerable."

Luo Feng responded respectfully.

"This time, the Wu Long Starfield was mismanaged."

Venerable Ten Thousand Forest took out a piece of metal larger than a palm, overall light gold, hazy and seemingly transparent, with a texture similar to jade.

"This is my compensation to you on behalf of the Wu Long Starfields."

Venerable Ten Thousand Forest lightly tossed it, and the metal flew towards Luo Feng.

"Thank you, Venerable."

Luo Feng took the golden metal with both hands and quickly thanked him.

"Cultivate well, I have high hopes for your future."

Venerable Ten Thousand Forest said a word of encouragement, then teleported away.

The four responsible persons, seeing Venerable Ten Thousand Forest leave without addressing them, all wore bitter expressions.

Especially the responsible person of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, who felt a bleak future, estimating that it wouldn't be long before someone took over his position.

"Luo Feng, you've made a fortune this time."

Babata's excited voice rang in Luo Feng's mind, "Just the Skyjade Gold that Venerable Ten Thousand Forest just bestowed, its value per ton is 600,000 to 1 million Mixed units, and that piece is probably worth 5 million Mixed units."

"This is secondary; the truly priceless item is the Soul-type pseudo-Heavy Treasure given to you by Venerable Radiance."

"That's compensation given by a Universe Venerable, a treasure that even super powerful individuals among King Immortal would covet."

Babata sighed, "Only a powerful individual like a Universe Venerable would bestow such a valuable treasure."

"Luo Feng, do you still want to go treasure hunting?"

Before Luo Feng could answer, King Han Mountain beside him asked.

"Of course." Luo Feng nodded.

He hadn't finished collecting those highly attractive black armor fragments, and he still needed to buy some Zerg corpse remnants needed to train Zerg warriors.

"Let's go, I'll lead you this time." King Han Mountain said.

"Then I'll trouble King Han Mountain." Luo Feng thanked him, taking Kurt and following King Han Mountain.

On the other side.

Venerable Fire Erosion took King Nightmare Candle to the Divine Kingdom Palace...
