# Chapter 261: Episode Six – The Thunder Ancestor’s Punishment (Happy New Year!)

The Thunder Ancestor sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

“He can actually perceive my secluded slumbering place and even transmit his voice here?” The Thunder Ancestor mused.

“Yanfeng.”

The Thunder Ancestor used his communication token to transmit his voice, “How much do you know about that Milky Way Overlord?”

“What’s happening?” The Yanfeng Ancestor replied, puzzled. “I haven’t dealt with the Milky Way Overlord before. The information I have is the same public knowledge you already possess.”

“Just now, he directly transmitted his voice to my secluded slumbering place,” The Thunder Ancestor said gravely.

The Yanfeng Ancestor was astonished.

They ventured outside the Origin World, confronting powerful beings from countless worlds and battling numerous lower-grade Primal Chaos lifeforms. The security of their residences was paramount. Fortified cave dwellings and various protective formations were readily available for purchase.

Both the Yanfeng and Thunder Ancestors were extremely cautious in protecting the places where they cultivated and slept.

“I can confirm he hasn’t escaped the cage,” The Thunder Ancestor said in a low voice, “To achieve this, he must have obtained an extremely powerful treasure.”

“Are you referring to the truly top-tier treasures within the Infinite Space?” The Yanfeng Ancestor guessed.

The Infinite Space treasury, filled with items worth at least ten thousand reward points, had a great reputation outside the Origin World! Many ‘half-Primal Chaos lifeforms’ would spare no expense to acquire such treasures.

But these treasures were exceedingly difficult to obtain.

Take Emperor Mite, for example. He had accumulated over 110,000 reward points through exceptional performance in mental will. However, the Grand Dao realm was fundamental! Emperor Mite didn’t hesitate to exchange for the inheritance that best suited him. Therefore, his remaining reward points were insufficient to acquire a treasure worth ‘at least ten thousand reward points.’

For Emperor Mite himself, this was the most suitable choice.

His comprehension of the ‘Dao’ was weaker, and even with the guidance of a special-grade inheritance, the assistance of royal resources, and his powerful mental will, he couldn’t comprehend a complete Grand Dao. So, he chose to cultivate his Primal Chaos bloodline, as unlocking its potential was much easier than comprehending the Dao. Although Emperor Mite hadn’t reached the Ultimate realm, he could even kill most Emperors and Monarchs in a one-on-one fight.

The Thunder Ancestor had only accumulated several tens of thousands of reward points.

The Yanfeng Ancestor barely surpassed 100,000 reward points, but he had spent a significant amount on inheritances as well.

Only Luo Feng, who had accumulated over 200,000 reward points, exchanged for the ‘Eye of Creation and Destruction.’

“I’ve heard that most of the truly top-tier treasures in the Infinite Space are forbidden from being taken out of the Origin World,” The Yanfeng Ancestor transmitted. “Those few that can be taken out are generally not carried by cultivators.”

“The items available for trade outside are usually treasures worth several tens of thousands of reward points. Those worth over one hundred thousand are extremely rare. Even if there were a trade, it wouldn’t be our turn.”

Looking at the numerous Origin Worlds and countless worlds where powerful figures gathered, the Yanfeng and Thunder Ancestors appeared ordinary.

“Indeed, such treasures are usually forbidden from being taken out of the Origin World. Within the Origin World, we can’t do anything to this Milky Way Overlord,” The Thunder Ancestor lamented, truly envious.

Compared to special lifeform remains or secrets passed down from the Yuan, the Infinite Space’s treasures worth ‘at least ten thousand reward points’ were the most unique.

But only a few appeared even over multiple eras.

“Since he dares to openly display this ability, he isn’t afraid of us targeting him,” The Yanfeng Ancestor said. “By openly displaying it, I guess… this treasure of his cannot be taken outside.”

“Hmm,” The Thunder Ancestor agreed with his friend’s assessment.

“Why did he contact you?” The Yanfeng Ancestor asked.

“It’s about Bai Mo and Lan Duo,” The Thunder Ancestor explained briefly.

The Yanfeng Ancestor understood: “It’s said that the Milky Way Overlord is as hateful of evil as he is famous. He probably wants to kill Bai Mo and Lan Duo, but since they’re both on Thunder Mountain, he can’t do it himself, so he wants you to deal with them.”

“Me deal with them?” The Thunder Ancestor said, “He can’t kill them, so he wants me to do it?”

“The decision is yours,” The Yanfeng Ancestor transmitted, “If you kill them, he’ll remember your kindness. If you don’t… given the Milky Way Overlord’s hatred of evil, he might not let it go.”

The Thunder Ancestor laughed: “You’re right, the decision is mine!”

…

Thunder Mountain, within the ancient great hall.

“Ancestor.”

Eight Monarchs kneeled respectfully, not daring to look directly at the figure above.

The Thunder Ancestor looked down, his gaze indifferent.

He felt apprehension, annoyance, dissatisfaction, and envy towards the Milky Way Overlord. But facing the kneeling Monarchs, he felt nothing at all.

“Bai Mo, Lan Duo, do you two know your crimes?” The Thunder Ancestor said calmly.

The Bai Mo and Lan Duo Monarchs trembled.

They were completely dumbfounded.

The reason they dared to plunder within the Thunder Ancient Kingdom was because they understood the Ancestor’s temperament! The Ancestor was aloof and didn’t care much even about them, let alone the deaths of ordinary royal family Divine Kings.

As for the countless lives within the kingdom, as long as it didn’t affect the overall operation of the kingdom, the Ancestor didn’t bother with it.

The number of lives they had plundered only accounted for about one-twentieth of the wilderness area! It would naturally replenish itself over time.

“We know our crimes!”

Despite their inner thoughts, the Bai Mo and Lan Duo Monarchs respectfully replied without hesitation, not daring to refute.

If they did, they would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant, far worse than plundering countless lives.

“Since you know your crimes, from today onward, you will both go to the Pillar World. Either obtain a special lifeform’s remains or a natural treasure,” The Thunder Ancestor said indifferently, “If you fail, you will perish with the rest of the Origin Continent.”

Bai Mo and Lan Duo were stunned.

What?

If they didn’t obtain a treasure, they would die?

Even if they chose to reincarnate, they would still die when the Origin Continent returned to nothingness.

“Yes,” Bai Mo and Lan Duo reluctantly agreed. The Thunder Ancestor glanced at them indifferently before disappearing from the throne.

These two Monarchs were excellent tools he had cultivated. How could he be willing to kill them casually? He would naturally squeeze out their abilities. Obtaining a special lifeform’s remains would be a great profit! Obtaining a natural treasure would be a small profit.

“Bai Mo, Lan Duo, it’s fine for you two to plunder in the borderlands, but plundering within our kingdom… Now that the Ancestor has severely punished you, you should atone for your sins!”

“You two were too presumptuous.”

The other Monarchs felt no sympathy.

Bai Mo and Lan Duo didn’t say anything and turned to leave the great hall.

…

Huyang City, within the City Lord’s quiet chamber, inside the Star Tower.

Luo Feng’s ‘Eye of Creation and Destruction’ opened, gazing towards Thunder Mountain.

Through his observation.

He could see the past at different points in time. Countless past timelines of ‘worlds’ seemed to form a continuous, massive video. Luo Feng could easily observe these past ‘videos’.

A goose leaves a trace!

Everything experienced in the past left a mark in spacetime. However, the stronger one was, the stronger their self-concealment would be. Those who grasped a complete Grand Dao could perfectly conceal themselves.

However, Luo Feng’s Eye of Creation and Destruction was a higher-level Primal Chaos lifeform’s observation ability from beyond the cage.

Even the Thunder and Yanfeng Ancestors couldn’t completely escape Luo Feng’s ability to perceive traces of their existence. However, Luo Feng couldn’t eavesdrop on their communication through the communication tokens.

“Hmm?”

Observing past timelines, Luo Feng easily discovered the scene where the Thunder Ancestor summoned the Monarchs within the towering hall at the highest point of Thunder Mountain.

“Sending them to the Pillar World, forcing them to obtain special lifeform remains or natural treasures?” Luo Feng frowned, “And not punishing any of their lackeys?”

Previously, when he reviewed Old Chen Divine King’s memories, he saw countless lives being sent to Lan Duo Monarch.

Lan Duo Monarch opened her mouth and devoured countless lives.

Those scenes had long ago triggered Luo Feng’s killing intent.

He had already decided!

He had to kill them! But with Thunder Mountain’s protection and the Thunder Ancestor’s protection, it was quite a headache. That was why he contacted the Thunder Ancestor.

“Even after revealing a little bit of my special abilities, the Thunder Ancestor still didn’t take it seriously,” Luo Feng shook his head gently, “Forget it, it’s better to rely on myself than to rely on others. I should take action myself.”

“Although I’m not entirely confident in taking action myself.”

“But, I have to try my best!”

For the countless devoured lives.

So that the strong of the Origin Continent would no longer dare to devour lives so wantonly.

Luo Feng decided to go all out this time! No matter the cost!

…

Hu! Hu!

Two figures crossed the vast distance and arrived at one of the entrances to the treasure ground, the ‘Pillar World.’

“It’s all because of you,” Lan Duo Monarch said angrily, “I only acted with you because of your encouragement. Who would have thought that this would enrage the Ancestor.”

“You reaped the benefits, and now you blame me?” Bai Mo Monarch sneered, “You, Lan Duo Monarch, at least have an avatar on Thunder Mountain. I don’t have an avatar; I have to venture deep into the Pillar World with my true body.”

“If I don’t obtain a treasure when the Origin Continent returns to nothingness, I’ll still die, won’t I?” Lan Duo Monarch said resentfully.

As Monarchs, they could have left the Origin Continent and ventured outside.

“No one forced you to plunder and devour billions of lives,” Bai Mo Monarch said with disdain.

As they spoke, they entered the Pillar World entrance.

The two Ancient Kingdoms had arranged guards at the Pillar World entrance. The guard from the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom… was none other than Luo Feng.

“It’s that Divine King Luo He,” Bai Mo and Lan Duo Monarchs glanced at Luo Feng in the distance, too lazy to say anything. They were both in a bad mood.

Hu.

The two Monarchs flew towards the depths of the Pillar World.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged, responsible for guarding the entrance. He merely glanced at the two Monarchs: “They’ve finally arrived!”

At the same moment—

Huyang City.

“They’ve arrived at the Pillar World,” Luo Feng’s Eye of Creation and Destruction looked remotely.

Hua!

With a stride.

With his first step, Luo Feng arrived at the Pillar World entrance.

With his second step, Luo Feng forcefully broke through the formations erected by the two Ancient Kingdoms at the Pillar World entrance and appeared before Bai Mo and Lan Duo Monarchs.

“Hmm?” Bai Mo and Lan Duo Monarchs were shocked to see a silver-robed, golden-masked man appear before them, and a chill ran down their spines.
