Chapter 355 The Attention of the Lord of the Universe
Whoever arrives at the Star Tower, the first thing they do is try to establish a bond with a master.
The Star Tower is renowned for its power. Every powerful individual from various races who comes to the Star Tower for the first time will try to establish a bond with it, hoping to strike it lucky.
However, over countless years, no powerful figure from any race has been able to successfully claim a master.
Suk and the others were naturally aware of this, but that didn't stop them from trying it.
Since we're already here and it's free, why not give it a try? What if it works?
After a while.
"No, it doesn't work. Whether it's the mental imprint, the blood, or any other location, there's no reaction." After a flurry of activity, Eloi couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Although I knew the chances of being recognized by the Lord were extremely slim, I still held a sliver of hope in my heart before actually trying to recognize the Lord, thinking that maybe the Star Tower was destined for me?
As it turns out, I was overthinking it.
Suk knew perfectly well what was going on, but he pretended not to know anything and accompanied his wife through the process.
"For the Star Tower to recognize a master, it must be integrated with the most core component, the Tower Bead. No matter how much trouble is caused from the outside, there is no chance of it recognizing a master." He was well aware of the conditions for the Star Tower to recognize a master.
Based on his understanding of the Star Tower, only Realm Lords and Immortals have a chance to recognize it as their master.
A realm master needs the will of a cosmic sovereign to have a chance to successfully recognize a master; in addition, it is also related to the mind.
Of course, this condition seemed very mysterious to Suk, since it was actually a treasure at least at the God-King level.
In any case, he had no interest in the Star Tower, because he knew that it couldn't be forced. Even though he now possessed the will of a Cosmic Venerable, he had no interest in any life-and-death inheritance.
Suk and Eloi then entered the Star Tower together, proceeding through the vast tower body, and soon entered a space.
The Star Tower is like a super-large "skyscraper" with rooms inside. Of course, the rooms inside the Star Tower are actually forbidden spaces, and each forbidden space is connected to other forbidden spaces by secret passages.
Meanwhile... countless forbidden spaces are constantly in motion.
In other words, even if you remain motionless inside the Star Tower, your coordinates will constantly change over time.
Moreover, detectors, world projections, and divine power exploration can only be used within the forbidden space; they cannot penetrate this forbidden space to reach another. Teleportation can only be performed within this forbidden space and cannot be used to teleport to another forbidden space.
"Use the Divine Kingdom Teleportation to leave the Star Tower. If you don't escape, you'll have to travel through forbidden spaces, provided you find a passage connecting two forbidden spaces first."
The Star Tower is fraught with danger, and each forbidden space may harbor a crisis, though it usually doesn't escalate. Therefore, the Star Tower is more dangerous because it's filled with battles between powerful alien races. However, if a crisis were to erupt in a forbidden space, it would be terrifying.
The louder the noise, the greater the danger.
Suk looked back and saw that the entrance to the space he had entered earlier had been sealed off and disappeared. This was a vast wilderness, but at the very edge of the four cardinal directions and at the very top of the sky, there were invisible barriers that he could not pass through no matter what he did.
"No movement." Suk waited for a while and couldn't help but nod slightly. It seemed that what they had encountered was relatively normal.
Upon entering the first forbidden area, there was no danger or lurking danger, but as long as one is careful not to make a big commotion, it will not be triggered.
Then, all you need to do is find a passage that connects to another forbidden area to leave this place.
Normally, the passage is very easy to find; it is said that it can be found in a day at most.
Soon, Suk and his companion found a passage in a corner of the endless wasteland. It was a vortex, pitch black inside with faint starlight.
"This is the passage. I've walked through passages like this many times," said a small blue cat beside him, its voice identical to that of the Wine Fern King. "We can leave through this passage."
"Looks like there's no danger here," Eloi said casually.
"The King-level Limit Wine Fern King, who can change his appearance and appear as a petite blue cat perched on Suk's shoulder, said: "That's not the case, Madam. The forbidden space is generally very peaceful. The real danger mainly lies in the hundreds of thousands of King-level experts. As for the danger within the tower itself, although it is full of dangers, it generally does not pose a great threat to King-level experts, unless a sealed star is about to emerge, in which case various anomalies will occur and cause some trouble."
"I see." Aloy suddenly realized. "It's so peaceful now, so it seems the Star-Sealing Star hasn't appeared."
"If the Sealed Star appears, it will be quite a spectacle. Countless Kings will rush here to compete for it. The more powerful figures there are, the more brutal the battle will be. Every time it appears, countless powerful figures will perish because of the Sealed Star," King Wine Fern sighed.
Based on past experience, if the Sealed Star were to emerge, the countless forbidden spaces within the Star Tower would naturally attract powerful figures from various races to gather and converge at the location where the Sealed Star would emerge!
Even a star-sealing artifact is a treasure for a cosmic venerable, let alone a king-level being—a treasure that could drive countless powerful beings from billions of races mad with desire.
One can imagine how brutal the slaughter would be in order to seal the stars.
Each sealed star represents a great massacre.
However, due to the rules of the extraterritorial battlefield, cosmic venerables cannot enter, which allows these kings to have a chance to compete.
Suk and his group plunged into the vortex tunnel, but landed on the surface of the rock bridge, clearly having left the original forbidden area.
Looking around, in the endless void, a rock bridge meanders and extends into the distance. This rock bridge has no support and just floats in the void, continuing to extend.
Under the guidance of the Wine Fern King, Suk learned that the void at the end of the rock bridge was the entrance to the next forbidden space.
Suk suddenly had a feeling and looked down. Below the rock bridge was endless void.
"That is—" Suk squinted.
Deep within the endless void, a star faintly tumbles and rolls. This star, comparable in size to an ordinary planet, exudes a chilling aura, endlessly and steadily rolling through the void.
"A sealed star." The Wine Fern King, perched on his shoulder, was slightly startled and exclaimed. "Master, you are truly lucky. I have ventured into the Star Tower several times, the longest being a hundred thousand years. I have witnessed the sealed star many times. If I'm lucky, I can see it once every year or two; if I'm unlucky, I can see it once every thousand years—"
Suk listened to its incessant chatter, gazed down quietly, and shook his head. "It's a pity, I can see it but not have it."
The location of "Zhenfeng Xingchen" is very dangerous. There are invisible barriers that prevent people from getting close. If they try to get close by force, they will almost always perish.
Since the sealed star did not appear on its own initiative, even the unparalleled cosmic overlords of the four peak races could not obtain it by force.
"The timing of the emergence of the Zhenfeng Star is not fixed. It usually only appears occasionally over long periods of time. No one knows exactly when it will be born. It all depends on luck," King Wine Fern sighed.
"Okay, let's go." Suk nodded, said no more, and quickly walked to the end of the passage. He glanced down one last time at the slowly rolling, sealed star that was faintly visible in the endless void beneath the rock bridge, and then the three powerful figures stepped into the exit at the end, entering another forbidden space.
This is a vast and mysterious hall, supported by nine pillars that are tens of thousands of kilometers high. Above the hall, at the far ends in all directions, are countless sealing stars—like a sky full of stars, surrounding the entire hall.
This grand hall seemed to float in the center of countless sealed stars.
In the distance of the main hall, a figure sat cross-legged. He had the body of a long, coiled snake, but the upper body was human. Purple beard hung down, and his eyelids drooped slightly, yet an endless pressure emanated from his body, a pressure that made people tremble with fear and involuntarily submit.
The oppressive aura was like an endless universe; though not violent, it left people with no will to resist.
"Hmm?" The great, ancient being with a flowing purple beard slightly opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction. "A Realm Lord has entered the Star Tower?"
He appears powerful, but he is actually just an avatar who has been stationed here for countless years.
His name is Puti, the guardian of the Star Tower and the eldest disciple of the Mountain-Sitting Guest.
As for the second disciple, he was naturally the Yan Emperor, who had already betrayed the human race.
Unlike the ambitious Yan Emperor, Puti did not want to reveal all his strength and implicate his teacher, so he kept a low profile, allowing an avatar to remain among the human race for a long time. The avatar displayed the peak combat power of a Universe Venerable, slightly weaker than the Universe Lords in the race, and was given the pseudonym "Tip".
As the Star Tower is a gathering place for hundreds of thousands of kings, the appearance of the Realm Lord slightly attracted Puti's attention. There was nothing in the Star Tower that could hide from him, not to mention that he sensed that this Realm Lord had a treasure that could conceal his soul aura, which made him even more curious.
Puti looked out, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of time and space, seeing a distant target.
It was a forbidden space, filled with sand and dust. Two human men and women were exploring it, along with a blue cat.
"He is indeed a realm lord, and one of my own, a human." Puti's purple beard trembled, and a glint of light appeared in his eyes.
The Soul Treasure "Soul Star" on Suk's body can disguise his aura, making it undetectable to ordinary kings. However, as the Lord of the Universe, Puti can naturally see the problem at a glance.
His pretense was utterly useless in the face of this powerful being.
"A man and a woman, and both are Realm Lords, possessing such strength to enter the Star Tower. If I'm not mistaken, they must be Suk and Eloi, the rising geniuses of our humanity. They've also come to the outer battlefield for training." Puti's eyes shone brightly, his analysis nearly accurate. "Beside them, there's also a Limitless King alien. Could they be their servants?"
Although he is considered an unparalleled genius among the human race, given Puti's past practice of concealing his identity, he would naturally not be given much attention under normal circumstances.
His duty was to guard the Star Tower and occasionally let the sealed stars inside the tower emerge to generate buzz and attract immortal gods.
That was certainly how it was in the past, but—
"Suk is a disciple of Fan Hai," Puti thought to himself.
He didn't care about others, and he didn't care about the personal disciple of the Lord of the Universe. After all, he was a Lord of the Universe, and his teacher was the most mysterious and powerful being in the universe. There weren't many people in the universe that he cared about, but Suk's identity was rather special.
He was a disciple of his old friend.
"For Fan Hai's sake, I'll give you this opportunity. Let's see if you can seize it," Puti thought to himself. Someone like him wouldn't bestow benefits upon a junior for no reason.
In the forbidden space, amidst the swirling sandstorm, Suk and his companions searched for a way out.
Here, sand swirls everywhere, making it impossible to stand on solid ground, and you can't even tell up, down, left, or right.
suddenly-
The large area of sand above suddenly sank in, revealing a massive shadow.
Boom!
A gigantic metal octopus resembled a terrifying beast descended from the abyss.
Its head is a huge metal sphere, with spiral patterns covering its surface and a ring of sharp metal tentacles surrounding it.
The eight tentacles were incredibly thick, each resembling a giant metal python. The surface of the tentacles was covered with countless metal scales, the edges of which were serrated, as if they were designed to tear apart their prey.
As it moves, its eight tentacles sway rhythmically, the metal scales rubbing against each other produce a grating creaking sound, and the rumbling sound in the space is like its deep roar, filled with an awe-inspiring sense of oppression.
"This, this, a forbidden zone guardian of a thousand kilometers?" The Wine Fern King, perched on Suk's shoulder, seemed startled; its fur stood on end, and its eyes widened. "In all my years in the Star Tower, traversing countless forbidden zones, the strongest forbidden zone guardian I've ever encountered was only a hundred kilometers in size—"
Suk also frowned as he looked up at the enormous monster that was tearing through the sand and sand and descending upon them.
According to the information I reviewed earlier, the Forbidden Zone Guardians are a special type of metal mechanical puppet.
Although they are mechanical puppets, they are clearly very advanced. First, they are not afraid of soul attacks. Second, it is difficult for powerful attacks to damage the energy core inside their bodies.
Legend has it that the Forbidden Land Guardians are invincible, and even a king-level invincible being cannot forcibly tear apart their bodies.
Of course, it may also have some weaknesses.
However, normally, the only way to destroy it is through a powerful attack that damages its energy core.
However, this is very difficult. Often, it involves resisting the attacks of the forbidden zone guards and finding an exit. Once you leave, the forbidden zone guards cannot leave the forbidden zone on their own, so you will naturally get rid of them.
Suk stared at the massive forbidden area guardian from afar, his eyes gleaming. "According to the Wine Fern King, a forbidden area guardian spanning a thousand kilometers is almost never encountered. He has never encountered one before. But I encountered one as soon as I arrived at this Star Tower and entered this second forbidden area space. Moreover, this situation is very familiar. Could it be that—"
