The Last Sentinel

The Red King's exact name is unknown, but one thing is certain: this guy is definitely not a dog.

Or perhaps, dogs simply cannot reach the level of public outrage and resentment associated with it.

Its appearance was relatively short, only about a month longer than Ye Feng's.

And it has accomplished quite a lot this month.

First and foremost, the Red King dug up the tomb of the previous generation of Zerg Queen in the Entropy Alliance.

Hearing this, even someone as oblivious as Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "The Zerg are the creators of the second catastrophe and one of the four top powers in the desolate universe. Have these dogs gone mad? How dare they dig up the Zerg queen's grave?"

Yu Huatian twirled her slender fingers around the teacup and sighed, "This guy is too audacious. Even if the Empire were to go to war with the Zerg, it would never desecrate the Zerg's ancestral graves. This kind of behavior is like defecating on the Zerg's head and then asking the Zerg for toilet paper."

Ye Feng asked, "Then, didn't the Zerg hunt down the Red Flower King?"

"We've hunted them down," Yu Huatian said. "But this red dog seems to be able to sever the causal bond anchor point, making it impossible to find. Because of this, the Zerg have begun large-scale targeted actions, provoking the three major powers of the Zenith, the Empire, and Chaos. The Zerg prodigy Daozi and the necromancer Mu swept through seventy-two spatial bubbles of the Empire, killing millions of Empire troops, and finally almost annihilated the White-Spear Army. Fortunately, you intervened in the end and repelled Mu, otherwise Qin Liangyu and her army would have been wiped out."

Thinking about this, Ye Feng felt relieved about Red Dog stealing his spaceship.

The battle between the emotional priest and himself was also arranged by the Red King.

In other words, ever since he woke up in the desolate universe, he has been following the path designed by Red Dog, step by step.

Yu Huatian added, "The Red Dog's arrogance has naturally attracted the attention of many parties, the first of whom is the Imperial Astronomical Bureau."

"Zhou Yunyi, the Director of the Imperial Observatory, is a highly accomplished individual from the lineage of Liu Bowen, the Imperial Dragon-Slaying Celestial Master. He mastered the art of Liu Bowen's twelve volumes of celestial books. Using what he had learned and with the power of the Imperial Jade Capital's wishes, he forcibly divined the Red King's past and present lives and cultivation path, obtaining a great deal of information about it."

Ye Feng became interested. "What kind of intelligence do you have?"

Yu Huatian laughed and said, "For ordinary people, they probably wouldn't even have the right to listen to such things. Young Master Ye, as a pillar of the empire, let me just say a few words."

"Zhou Yunyi didn't reveal the Red King's background, but he did figure out the lineage it cultivated."

"It cultivates a very obscure Dao principle, called the Dao of Stealing, or rather, the Dao of Stealing."

Ye Feng frowned, his silver-white eyebrows furrowing. "Stealing the Dao? Stealing can be considered the Dao?"

In the chat group right now.

Great Love Immortal King: Isn't that obvious? Stealing is definitely a Dao, and it's an extremely domineering existence among the many Great Dao rules. Do you know about the Heavenly Thief Demon Lord and his famous technique, the Formless Hand? As the saying goes, when the Heavenly Thief made his move, all the Gu worms present were stolen. Relying on this technique, he forcibly stole the realm of the Heavenly Court's Supreme Lord!

Wuji Demon Lord: This dog is interesting. He actually started cultivating the immoral law of stealing the Dao back in his hometown. No wonder he went to dig up people's ancestral graves.

Hongmeng's First Deepest Affection: Shut upstairs, let's continue listening to this eunuch's interpretation.

As Yu Huatian paced back and forth, he said, "Those who follow the Dao receive the grace of Heaven, while those who defy the Dao steal the secrets of Heaven. Unlike the sword path of attack and slaughter, or the physical cultivation of the body, stealing the Dao is all about being silent and stealthy. It can plunder everything invisibly and can use the Dao essence to restrain all laws. This is by no means an ordinary petty theft, but a heaven-defying law that ranks among the three thousand Great Daos."

"The orthodox Pangu Dao emphasizes conforming to the Dao of Heaven, bestowing blessings upon all living beings, in exchange for the Dao's recognition and favor, and receiving the Dao's gifts."

"Stealing is the complete opposite. It does not compete for the gifts of Heaven, but actively plunders them. From small things like currency, pills, and divine weapons, to large things like divine soul memories and cultivation foundations, anything that can be seen and heard can be stolen and turned into nourishment for one's own cultivation."

"This time, the Queen's ancestral grave was desecrated because the Red King stole her original genome sequence!"

Ye Feng asked, "Is there anything else?"

Yu Huatian said, "Those who achieve the highest level of mastery in the art of stealing possess the power to create the universe. They cultivate to the point of perfection and specialize in stealing the ethereal, invisible, and intangible creations of heaven and earth."

"It can even steal a martial artist's 'vital energy' during a fight, causing even the strongest martial artist to wither and become powerless instantly."

"Stealing the sword cultivator's sharp sword energy, causing the sword master to lose his edge."

"The city's splendor and prosperity were stolen, turning a great metropolis into a ghost town."

"It can steal time, steal lifespan, and tamper with the secrets of heaven."

"It could even be said that one could steal the destiny and fortune of an entire epoch, conceal the secrets of heaven in the Dharma-ending Age, and attain immortality and ascension!"

At this point, Ye Feng couldn't help but ask, "Interesting. Does the Empire have any way to deal with this fiend?"

"Of course," Yu Huatian said. "Zhang Sanfeng, the former number one martial arts legend of the empire, relied on his unparalleled combat power to vanquish demons for six hundred years. During this time, Zhang Sanfeng encountered this genius who stole the Dao. This person stole the heavens and life, seized creation, went against the Dao and was arrogant to all living beings. He was very proud and very confident. He even said that he wanted to steal Zhang Sanfeng's destiny and become the second Zhang Zhenren."

"Master Zhang fought against that thieving genius for hundreds of years and finally defeated him. That genius was also an unparalleled ruthless person. On his deathbed, he sacrificed his supreme thieving method and forcibly gave Master Zhang a ticket to ascend. This also led to Master Zhang having many unfinished matters in the mortal world and wanting to stay for hundreds of years, but the tribulation of ascension had come, and he had no choice but to ascend and leave."

Ye Feng asked, "Is it possible that this Red King is the junior brother of the former 'Master Thief,' and he's here for revenge?"

Yu Huatian shook his head. "I don't know, but in the case of Zhou Yunyi's kidnapping, when Meng Xinghun kidnapped Zhou Yunyi, this red dog also secretly entered Baiyujing and stole the twelve volumes of the [Dragon-Slaying Heavenly Book] left by Liu Bowen. Now the Emperor has issued an order to find Zhou Yunyi within ten days at all costs, dead or alive, and at the same time find the lost twelve volumes of the [Dragon-Slaying Heavenly Book]."

"So," Yu Huatian looked at Ye Feng, "I'll trouble you, sir."

Ye Feng asked, "My opponent is the Red King?"

"No," Yu Huatian said. "The Red King can foresee the future and steal heavenly secrets. You won't find him. I have already arranged for a master who is beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements to deal with the Red King. Your opponent is Meng Xinghun. You must defeat Meng Xinghun on the front lines, or at the very least, hold him back."

"I've already sent the coordinates to your wrist receiver."

"Meng Xinghun is a very proud person. He never hides or avoids anything. Be careful and don't let him trick you."

"He's an old silver coin."

Ye Feng reached out and picked up the black leather jacket that had been prepared to him, draped it over his shoulders, his white hair flying, and his black leather boots clad as he strode quickly outside.

"Meng Xinghun, the number one expert of the younger generation in the Chaotic Star Sea."

"That sounds familiar."

"There's also a Meng Xinghun in my hometown. I wonder how this Meng Xinghun compares to the Meng Xinghun from my hometown."

Yu Huatian stared intently at Ye Feng's dashing figure as he walked away.

The deputy whispered, "Sir, the young Grand Secretary says he wishes to see Young Hero Ye..."

Yu Huatian said, "A meeting is necessary, but a gift is essential. The empire needs a loyal and efficient martial arts legend, not one who only hangs aloof. Let Ye Feng and Meng Xinghun clash and see if this martial arts legend is still as sharp as he was five thousand years ago!"
