Luo Feng's original body was making its way back at that moment within his miniature universe.

"Master," Morosa reported respectfully. "There are many Sector Beasts escaping into the Lost Ocean Domain of Universe Ocean. Out of the 450,000 Sector Beasts from the second batch, 420,000 have escaped into the Lost Ocean Domain. Adding to this number are those Sector Beasts from the first batch Master went after. The number of Sector Beasts that Master has killed and enslaved is a far cry from half the number of the first batch of Sector Beasts. If all the Sector Beasts who have escaped into the Lost Ocean Domain started fighting one another, their numbers alone could give rise to two sixth-stage Sector Beasts!"

Luo Feng nodded. 900,000 Sector Beasts could probably give rise to the birth of three sixth-stage Sector Beasts. The number of Sector Beasts he had killed and enslaved merely constituted a small portion. Judging by the remaining ones, it was entirely possible for the birth of two sixth-stage Sector Beasts.

"However, according to the Sector Beasts' Iron Rule of Fate, two sixth-stage Sector Beasts have to kill one another," Morosa said. "Only one can remain standing."

The iron rule of fate was a set of shackles imposed upon the process of giving birth to the final king of the entire Sector Beast race. To hasten the birth of the final king, there were four iron rules.

The first iron rule was that no two sixth-stage Sector Beasts were allowed to coexist. They were required to fight one another to death. All their divided bodies also would have to fight each other until there was only one left standing.

The second iron rule was that the final king had to be born during the gestation period. Maximizing the time stipulated by the breeding process, even if they were forced to fight and kill one another, the devouring had to continue to the very last minute of their time limit until there was only one left standing.

The third iron rule: If there were only two Sector Beasts left, regardless of how powerful or powerless they were, they had to fight one another until there was only one left standing.

The fourth iron rule: The final surviving Sector Beast, regardless of being a first-stage or a sixth-stage Sector Beast, would become the ultimate king.

"Hmm."

Luo Feng's brows were furrowed as he thought. The number of Sector Beasts was too many. Hundreds of thousands of Sector Beasts in the Lost Ocean Domain, probing in different regions, meant there had to be a large number of reference points where these hundreds of thousands of Sector Beasts had gone. Altogether, the Sector Beasts would have obtained substantial information of a region of the map of Lost Ocean Domain! This would allow the Sector Beasts to be able to speedily escape through the natural wormholes time and again. But there was no way Luo Feng could give chase because he did not have the benefit of a map!

The moment this new ocean map was defined, Luo Feng was unable to give chase no matter how he tried. He was forced to retreat.

"30,000 Sector Beasts have stayed behind," Morosa reported respectfully. "They did not go to the Lost Ocean Domain. They are all separated from one another, scattered all over the three most dangerous lands. The environment of the three most dangerous lands is severe. Catching even one of these Sector Beasts is going to be very difficult."

Luo Feng understood. The 30,000 Sector Beasts that remained behind were represented a beacon of hope for their race. For those Sector Beasts that had escaped into Lost Ocean Domain, although they would have managed to piece together a partial map of the region, they had fled too far; there was no way they could rely on their own abilities to return.

"In the future, when a sixth-stage Sector Beast is born," Morosa said, "by sensing the whereabouts of some of the Sector Beasts who have stayed behind, it could kill its way into our Universe Ocean. They might have been worried that Master would kill all the remaining Sector Beasts, including those of us who have pledged allegiance to you, Master. Killing us all would cause them to lose their points of reference and be lost for eternity. They would not be able to return. Accordingly, the number of Sector Beasts they left behind was many: 30,000! There is no way Master can kill them all in a short time."
