Chapter 612: First Encounter with Asura

The man covered in red was none other than the powerful warrior they had met when Ye Feng and his group entered the auction hall—a warrior whose cultivation level exceeded that of the Star Rank.
“You must be Ye Feng, the one who auctioned that peak-grade spiritual treasure in the form of a palace, right?” Asura wore a cheerful smile. Meeting this guy again during the auction meant he likely had many more valuable items. Killing him and seizing his treasures would yield a huge fortune.
“I am Ye Feng. Who are you?” Ye Feng frowned slightly, sensing that this guy might not be human.
“My name is Asura…” Asura opened his mouth, wanting to see Ye Feng’s reaction upon hearing his name, but received no response, which froze his expression.
Of course, Ye Feng had no idea who Asura was. Since arriving in this realm, he had hardly stopped cultivating. Even when not cultivating, he had been in a state of constant pursuit, leaving him with no time to inquire about other matters. With a cold expression, he said, “I’ve never heard of that name.”
“You really haven’t heard of my famous name?” Seeing that Ye Feng and the others didn’t seem to be lying, Asura suddenly realized, “So you’re just a bunch of novices. No wonder you act so arrogantly. Since you’ve never heard of my notorious reputation, I won’t mind showing you today.”
Only then did Ye Feng notice that the onlookers around them immediately changed their expressions upon seeing Asura and scattered. He realized that the fearsome reputation of this guy in the Star Realm was no joke.
Almost at the same time, the voice of the auction hall’s owner, Sikong Youlan, reached Ye Feng’s ears, “Run away quickly! Don’t engage with this guy—otherwise, you’ll be killed.”
Asura scanned the surroundings. Wherever his gaze fell, those powerful warriors fled. Then, he turned his fierce gaze toward Ye Feng, extending one hand as a sudden suction force emerged.
Just as Ye Feng felt like he was about to be grabbed, the suction force vanished abruptly. Luo Yan had already blocked his path.
“Huh?” His move failed, and Asura looked at Luo Yan, who stood in front of Ye Feng, with surprise and suspicion.
“Hmph. Just a pseudo-void level warrior, yet daring to target my master?” Luo Yan let out a muffled growl that echoed in Asura’s ears, stunning him for a moment.
“Who are you?” Asura glanced at Luo Yan warily.

“I’m just a servant,” Luo Yan said as he stepped forward, unleashing his True Void-level cultivation without any restraint. His aura grew increasingly powerful, instantly giving Xiu Luo the illusion that he was invincible.
“Damn it! How could such a strong person exist in this realm?” Xiu Luo cursed inwardly and tried to flee, only to realize he was trapped within the other’s miniature universe. Without a fully formed miniature universe, he was no match at all.
In fact, those who had reached the Star Realm level had their domains evolved into Realm Domains, with their capabilities increasing several times over. Those who had reached the Star Universe level saw their domains upgraded to Universe Domains, further boosting their abilities.
As for those who surpassed the Star Rank, their Star Universes evolved into miniature universes. Only those who achieved a miniature universe could be called True Void-level warriors. Within such a miniature universe, all laws were governed by its master, completely isolated from the outside world.
As a peak Pseudo Void-level warrior, Xiu Luo’s miniature universe was already over 90% formed. Yet even if someone else’s miniature universe was 1% more complete, it would still be beyond his ability to defeat them—each additional 1% meant at least one more level of strength. In reality, the completeness of miniature universes like those of Gu Tianan and the others was only between 95% and 98%. Yet their strength still far surpassed his. Not to mention this True Void-level warrior before him.
“Elder, let’s talk this out,” Xiu Luo said, realizing he was outmatched. If he tried to flee again, he wouldn’t just fail to escape but might even die. So he stopped trying to run and faced Luo Yan.
“Hmph, you only come to beg for mercy now? It’s too late!” Luo Yan snorted coldly. His voice instantly spread throughout Longquan City. He was doing this to intimidate others. With another step, he appeared in front of Xiu Luo and grabbed his neck like a chick. This scene left many powerful warriors watching secretly wide-eyed. They knew of Xiu Luo’s strength, but seeing him as a helpless lamb before this man was utterly unbelievable.
The people who had dispersed earlier also sneaked glances, with some even capturing the scene on video.
“Lao Luo, his cultivation wasn’t easy to achieve. Let it be,” Ye Feng said calmly.

Luo Yan snorted coldly before releasing his grip. “If not for my master’s mercy, I would have made you perish right here! Only if you kneel before my master and admit your fault, and hand over the two storage rings on your fingers, will this matter be settled.”
“You…” Xiu Luo almost spat blood. In the past, he had always been the one to bully others in the star realm, but now he was the one being bullied. Not only had to he kneel and apologize, but he also had to hand over his storage rings. After all, those rings contained many treasures he had hidden, some of which were even rare throughout the entire star realm—so naturally, he was unwilling to give them up.
“What? You refuse?” The murderous intent in Luo Yan’s eyes grew even stronger, sending shivers down Xiu Luo’s spine.
The powerful beings watching secretly sighed at Luo Yan’s tyranny, but they were also secretly pleased, as they had been oppressed by Xiu Luo for so long. Seeing this scene now was indeed satisfying.
“You’re going too far!” A Star Universe-level warrior behind Xiu Luo suddenly attacked Luo Yan.
But Luo Yan slapped him, reducing him to ashes. Only then did the onlookers realize just how formidable Luo Yan’s strength was.
“It seems you refuse to apologize or hand over your storage rings?” With another slap, Luo Yan killed all three Star Universe-level servants behind Xiu Luo, clearly using this to pressure him. Then he took all four of their storage rings for himself. “Even if I kill you, your storage rings will still be mine!”
Although furious, Xiu Luo knew he was at a disadvantage. After hesitating for a moment, he finally made up his mind. “Alright, I apologize.”
With that, he took off the two storage rings from his hands and threw them at Luo Yan, then knelt on one knee in front of Ye Feng, bowing and saying, “This is my fault. Please forgive me, Mr. Ye Feng.”
“Luo, let him go!” Ye Feng nodded at Luo Yan, who then retracted his miniature universe.
Xiu Luo fled like a stray dog, a fierce glint in his eyes—though no one saw it.
