Before being completely annihilated, the Lord of Sirius let out a resentful roar: "No—!!", his figure disappearing into the dark vortex at the bottom of the Star Tower.
The tower shook violently, and a muffled explosion could be heard from inside.
After the secret runes on the tower surface circulated several times, they returned to calm, with only a trace of charred energy dissipating.
The Lord of Sirius has completely perished, and in a forbidden area of the Star Tower, only the Sirius Palace remains, its corners slightly dirty.
After the space stabilized, the Chaos City Lord let out a muffled groan, his aura slightly disordered.
His gaze swept over Lin Hao, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You brat... a high-level palace treasure shouldn't be so easy to destroy. Hurry up and go to the Star Tower to retrieve the Heavenly Wolf Palace first!"
"Okay, let me catch my breath, I'll go in a bit!"
After this continuous battle, Lin Hao's divine body had been depleted by more than 30%, and he collapsed to the ground with a grin.
If it weren't for fighting a universe master of a higher level, the [Original Battle Body] could have maintained its combat sustain.
If Lin Hao wanted to truly harm a master of the universe, he could only use the most primitive and clumsy method: to wear him down with his own divine power!
However, he wasn't worried about the difficulty of replenishing his divine power. He would find his sisters to exercise more and activate his original battle body by sprinting a few hundred times, and he would recover!
It's so outrageous!
Just then, a faint, almost imperceptible fragrance wafted by.
Janet, Aichen, Qianshui and others rushed to Lin Hao's side almost immediately. Although they were also seriously injured and weak, their concern was evident.
The golden traces of divine blood reflected on their pale yet still captivating faces.
"Hao, how are you? Your divine body is so badly damaged..."
Janet looked at him with heartache, gently placing her hand on his arm that was supporting him on the ground, trying to convey warmth.
Brolin, Qinia, Yelan, and others also gathered around, their beautiful eyes filled with worry, shock, and endless adoration for their men.
They had just personally experienced the terror of fighting against the Lord of the Universe, and had a deeper understanding of the immense pressure Lin Hao had endured at the center of that storm.
Venerable Zidou Kou stood a little further away, watching all of this with a complicated expression.
The image of that bastard forcibly grabbing her waist still lingered in her mind, and the teasing voice that made Qing Kou call him "brother-in-law" still echoed in her ears.
Looking at the man before them, who had just confronted the Lord of the Universe and driven him to the brink of despair, now surrounded by a group of beautiful women like a big child, listening to his wildly arrogant words that seemed to have no basis in reality but had actually come true...
She felt as if a thin crack had appeared in her icy Dao heart.
She slightly raised her chin, trying to maintain a cold and noble demeanor, but the blankness between her brows and the trace of fatigue and weariness that even she herself did not notice could not be concealed.
She gave a soft snort, as if she wanted to say something sarcastic to prove her "innocence," but in the end it turned into a barely audible sigh.
Forget it, what's the point of reasoning with these thugs?
However, the idea of Qingou Kou calling him "brother-in-law" is absolutely impossible!
Just as she finished thinking this, Qing Kou's voice rang out softly from the side: "Sister, brother-in-law is so amazing. Why don't we move our tribe to the vicinity of the human territory..."
Upon hearing this, she gritted her teeth inwardly, but her gaze involuntarily drifted back to the figure slumped on the ground...
Luo Feng looked at Lin Hao, who was surrounded by his sisters, then at the Star Tower, which had returned to calm, and finally at the base of the tower where a terrifying, acrid energy still lingered. His tongue almost tied itself in knots: "Live... capture the Lord of the Universe... force him to self-destruct... seize the supreme treasure of the high-level palace, the Heavenly Wolf Palace..."
"Senior Brother...you...Brother Hao..."
He wanted to ask Hao-ge what the upper limit of his strength was, and how to overcome the feeling of being as insignificant as dust that he had felt when facing the Lord of Sirius...
Too many questions, too many shocks, so much so that the words stuck in my throat, and in the end I could only utter a silly sentence:
"Brother Hao...you're amazing! How much is the Heavenly Wolf Palace worth?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself. How could he only think about the value of the treasure at a time like this?
The Chaos Ruins finally returned to a subtle "calm." The Chaos City Lord's gaze swept across the entire area, finally locking onto Lin Hao. He snorted as if urging him on, but his figure quietly moved to the vicinity of the Star Tower, diverting a wisp of his mind to closely monitor the situation in the forbidden area within the tower, to protect Lin Hao as he "cleaned up the battlefield" later.
He had to be wary of whether the Lord of Sirius had a final, desperate plan.
As for the "scars" all over the ground and that wretched apprentice... well, we'll talk about that later!
Lin Hao met the urging gaze of the Chaos City Lord, felt the warm current of concern from the sisters around him, and saw the expressions of "looking at a god" on everyone's faces. The smile on his lips widened a little.
It was really tiring, but it was also really exhilarating!
After a short rest, it's time to go into the tower and collect the treasure!
That's a treasure of a high-level palace. Let alone whether the self-destruction of the Lord of the Universe could damage it, even if it were to have a big hole, it would still be a rare item!
……
The Sirius Palace was successfully captured.
This thing is not easy to find, since the forbidden space inside the Star Tower is constantly changing.
After searching through about ten forbidden spaces, Lin Hao became impatient and went out to capture Luo Feng as a laborer.
"Little madman, help me find the Heavenly Wolf Palace."
After entering the Star Tower, Lin Hao spoke calmly.
"Ah I?!"
Luo Feng pointed at himself, a little nervous. What did his senior brother know?
"...What's our relationship? Stop acting!"
Lin Hao's voice was exceptionally clear in the empty passageway, carrying an all-knowing smile. He raised his hand and flicked Luo Feng's forehead with a precise "thud."
Luo Feng was jolted and staggered, clutching his forehead. He stared at Lin Hao in disbelief, his mouth slightly agape, his eyes wide, his face filled with undisguised shock and embarrassment at being exposed.
"Senior Brother...Brother Hao, you...you know?!"
His mind was in turmoil. The most precious treasure he had risked his life to claim as its master, its greatest secret...
So the senior brother already knew?
When did this happen? !
"nonsense!"
Lin Hao glanced at him sideways, giving him a 'you're still too green' look, and bluntly exposed him: "The entire Star Tower is your little den. Do you think I don't know about your little tricks of hiding and secretly collecting slaves in there? What are you pretending for in front of your brother Hao? Hurry up and find the Heavenly Wolf Palace. Once you become an immortal, with this treasure in hand, catching up to my current strength will be a piece of cake, right? Work hard!"
Hearing Lin Hao's seemingly unreliable yet trusting and encouraging words, Luo Feng's shock and embarrassment were quickly replaced by a warm feeling, and his nose felt a little sore.
So... Brother Hao knew all along, and had even been secretly watching over and protecting him?
It turns out that the secret I risked my life to protect was not something to be hidden in the eyes of the person I trusted most, but rather a valuable asset to look forward to.
The feeling... was like a heavy boulder suddenly falling to the ground, making his eyes feel hot.
"What are you standing there for? Get moving!"
Lin Hao urged him impatiently.
"Oh! Oh! Okay! Don't worry, Brother Hao, I'll find it right away!"
Luo Feng snapped back to reality, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Without any further hesitation or concealment, his mind and spirit completely merged with the Star Tower!
hum...
Under his will, the entire Star Tower seemed to come alive, and the information flow from countless passages and forbidden spaces surged through his consciousness like a river.
"follow me!"
Luo Feng's eyes lit up as a spatial passage suddenly unfolded before him.
"Alright! That's a wrap!"
Lin Hao grinned, his figure blurred instantly, and the next moment he appeared in the center of the forbidden space filled with black flames.
A massive palace, not much smaller than an ordinary star, dark gold in color, and exuding an ancient and fierce aura, stood alone.
It is the Heavenly Wolf Palace!
Although a corner of the palace was slightly smudged with burnt marks from the Lord of Sirius's self-destruction, its overall majestic aura and the vast power of its high-grade treasures remained undiminished.
The self-destruction of the Lord of the Universe ultimately failed to completely destroy this precious advanced flying palace.
Lin Hao nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand.
The massive Sirius Palace transformed into a stream of light, instantly shrinking and disappearing into his world ring.
He casually wiped the charred marks on the edge of the palace, then curled his lip in disgust: "Tsk, it needs a good wash."
A moment later, the two appeared at the entrance of the Star Tower.
The Chaos City Lord's gaze swept over immediately, and he let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.
The Purple Scout Venerable stood with his arms crossed, coldly watching Lin Hao emerge. He was about to say something to maintain his composure when he saw Lin Hao's gaze shift to the Azure Scout, a mischievous smile spreading across his face.
"How about it, Xiaoqing? Your brother-in-law didn't lie to you, did he? He said he'd stand up for you, and he did! Look at that mad dog, he burned even the bone fragments!"
As he spoke, he naturally reached out and gently wrapped his arm around Zi Kou's curvaceous but taut waist.
"From now on, when you and your sister are in the Hongmeng, just mention my name, Lin Hao! If anyone dares to bully you, your brother-in-law will take some time to help you demolish their palace!"
"..."
Zi Kou's body stiffened visibly, her pretty face tightening. Just as she was about to break free from the reprimand, Lin Hao's large hand around her waist held her firmly with an undeniable force that seemed to contain some strange warmth.
She could only give a cold snort as a response, though there seemed to be a barely perceptible blush on her ears.
Qing Kou scratched his huge head and grinned sheepishly, "Hehe, thank you, brother-in-law! You're amazing! From now on, we'll rely on you for protection!"
Luo Feng watched from the side, his lips twitching.
Janet, Aichen, and the other sisters glanced between Zi Kou and Lin Hao, their expressions varying, but they didn't say much.
Seeing this, the Lord of Chaos City coughed heavily, interrupting the increasingly absurd atmosphere: "Enough! Now that you've got the stuff, get out of here! Luo Feng, and you too!"
His sharp gaze swept over Luo Feng, "Cultivate diligently and strive to break through to immortality as soon as possible!"
He glanced again with concern at the spatial rifts around him that were still struggling to heal, and emphasized once more, "All of you, shut up! The Chaos Ruins can't take any more of your antics!"
After saying that, he disappeared and went back to his repair work.
Lin Hao chuckled, knowing it was time to stop.
He patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and casually flicked Luo Feng's smooth forehead—this time without using any divine power, it was just a playful exchange between brothers.
"Did you hear that, Fengzi? The teacher has spoken! Hurry up and start cultivating!"
