The hunt for Luo Feng turned out to be all sound and fury, signifying little. Previously, it had been a grand spectacle that drew numerous peak powerhouses from every race across the universe. Yet, once Luo Feng unleashed his innate secret technique—the 'Domain'—all the universe experts pursuing him were forced to abandon the chase in frustration. As for those who arrived later, they were too late; Luo Feng had already plunged deep into a spatially sealed region, making pursuit impossible.
And so, the matter simply ended there.
But simultaneously, one of Luo Feng's ultimate secrets—the innate secret technique, the 'Domain'—was exposed. At least the dozen-plus experts who had been hunting him all knew of it. Word spread from one to ten, and then from ten to a hundred, ensuring its complete dissemination. This naturally shocked many alien race experts; the human, Daohe King, actually possessed such a heaven-defying skill.
“He actually dared to look down on me!” Venerable Peifeng was even more enraged upon hearing the news. “When I confronted him, he was still hiding this move! He didn't even use his full strength when fighting me. Daohe, you are ruthless.”
“This human, Daohe, escaped another catastrophe. Why is he so hard to kill?” King Fanjing roared in fury upon learning the news, the sound of his anger causing the walls of his silent chamber to shatter completely.
The alien races were stunned.
Within the human race, there was also profound astonishment. This innate secret technique, the 'Domain'… it was a gift bestowed by the universe, something that could not be acquired through mere cultivation.
“Relying on this move alone, Daohe King can survive for a very long time on the Primitive True Star!”
“With this move, as long as he doesn’t run into a Universe Master, he can survive.”
“The innate secret technique 'Domain' is heaven-defying; most Universe Venerables have no counter for it. However, there are still some truly heaven-defying entities who possess means. Like the legendary World Tree, when combined with its innate secret technique… it can already rival a Universe Master’s control over a domain of time and space. There are other special lifeforms capable of suppressing the innate secret technique 'Domain'!”
Luo Feng generally grasped the outside world's discussions through the Virtual Universe, which only deepened his realization: earning the respect of other powerhouses relied entirely on strength! Previously, many Universe Venerables in the human race considered Luo Feng’s venture to the Primitive True Star a suicidal act. But now, with the display of the innate secret technique 'Domain', far fewer people called him reckless.
“The 'Domain' is purely for escape.”
“On the Primitive True Star, when treasures appear and ultimate treasures are contended for, it relies on fierce battle!” Luo Fang thought inwardly. “Simply running away is not enough.”
“The Jie Armor…”
“I must obtain it.”
Compared to the Jie Armor, the exposure of this innate secret technique 'Domain' was hardly worth mentioning. This Jie Armor was an ultimate treasure capable of making supreme beings like Emperor Yan green with envy. Even City Lord Chaos would risk life and death in battle for such a treasure.
Time flowed, year after year passed.
In a flash, ten years had gone by.
“Luo Feng.” On the peak of Thunder Island, City Lord Chaos stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down. “The Primitive True Star opens tomorrow. I hear you plan to go as well?”
“Yes, Teacher,” Luo Feng stood behind City Lord Chaos.
“What is your plan? Who are you forming a squad with? Have you invited any particular powerhouses?” City Lord Chaos inquired.
“No,” Luo Feng shook his head.
“If you wish to form a team with someone, I can help,” City Lord Chaos offered. “Your strength is still somewhat lacking. High-level Universe Venerables always enter accompanied by two or three powerhouses for mutual support and to increase their chances of survival. You should also find suitable experts to assist each other.”
“Who should I team up with?” Luo Feng shook his head. “Teaming up with High-level Universe Venerables offers little benefit to me. As for teaming up with Universe Hegemons—even if one were willing, it would likely be due to your influence, Teacher. In their hearts, they would probably view me as a burden. It’s better for me to go alone.”
“Alone?” City Lord Chaos was surprised.
“Disciple is merely going to see the world. I will be careful,” Luo Feng assured him.
“That’s true, you have the Blood Sea as your foundation.”
City Lord Chaos nodded. “Manage everything yourself. However, Luo Feng, why did you travel to the territory of the Yan God Race? And in doing so, expose your innate secret technique, the 'Domain.' Any trump card that is revealed ceases to be a trump card. If an enemy wishes to deal with you, they will prepare in advance to counter this move. Therefore, the more ultimate a skill, the more it must be hidden and only used at the critical moment.”
“Disciple understands,” Luo Feng replied. “My travel to the Yan God Race territory was for some personal matters.”
“Personal matters?”
City Lord Chaos cast an interested glance at Luo Feng. “Hmm, I won't pry into your personal affairs. Just know that the Yan God Race territory is the domain of ‘Emperor Yan.’ Emperor Yan is one of the strongest beings among the Universe Masters. Back then, in terms of talent and progress, he was perhaps no inferior to you, equally dazzling.”
“If you have studied the records, you should know that Emperor Yan was originally human,” City Lord Chaos murmured softly. “Perhaps he was too radiant, achieving unmatched success as he grew. He never failed—always winning, winning, winning! This led him to look down on everyone.”
“He was full of grand ambition and fearlessness, truly a powerhouse. But he also lacked caution, perhaps believing no one could suppress him. His ambition was too great, unwilling to be second best…”
City Lord Chaos shook his head.
Luo Feng listened silently: too ambitious, unwilling to be second best?
“Moreover, he has a flaw in his character! He only remembers the slights against him, not the kindness,” City Lord Chaos sighed. “After becoming a Universe Master, his arrogance became absolute due to repeated victories! And he is extremely selfish.”
“Extremely selfish?” Luo Feng was inwardly shocked.
“He actually attacked a Universe Master of the Si Clan just to seize a treasure! Multiple conflicts erupted at once… Giant Axe Creator finally decided to severely punish him, intending only to imprison him for reflection. Who knew he would take his kin from his homeworld and outright betray our human race, becoming a colossal joke across the universe!”
Luo Feng was stunned.
“He was indeed a genius,” City Lord Chaos remarked sentimentally. “Seeing you reminds me of him back then.”
“After nurturing him into an unparalleled powerhouse, he ultimately bit back, and even during every race war and every clash between supreme experts, he became even more ruthless towards our human race,” City Lord Chaos shook his head. “Luo Feng, if he makes a move against you, summon me immediately. I will arrive at the earliest possible moment.”
“Understood,” Luo Feng nodded.
This conversation shocked Luo Feng; his so-called Second Senior Brother was actually like this.
“Selfish? Yes… selfish. The Jie Armor was left for me by Teacher Zuo Shanke, yet he tried every means to intercept it.” Luo Feng recalled his previous experiences and secretly guarded against this Second Senior Brother.
The next day, the Primitive True Star opened!
This was a monumental event for trillions of races across the universe! Of course, the Immortal Gods were completely unaware; this was a slaughterhouse for supreme experts…
Although Luo Feng was in the Yan God Race territory and could not personally witness the opening of the Primitive True Star passages, he still observed some recorded scenes through the Virtual Universe—the opening of the various passages leading to the Primitive True Star. The opening of each passage was earth-shattering, possessing infinite might, with the power unleashed by each one surpassing the might of a Universe Master.
Then, waves of forces and teams began to surge into the Primitive True Star.
10,081 passages were distributed across different parts of the universe.
Super factions formed by trillions of races, and numerous supreme beings, acted either independently or joined in small teams of two or three, flying into the passages and entering the Primitive True Star one by one.
10,081 Primitive True Stars…
The bloody slaughter had begun!
“The universe favors me. The Jie Armor is about to be taken by my Third Junior Brother, so Zuo Shanke has no hold over me. If one Jie Armor is lost, perhaps an even better ultimate treasure will come my way.” Emperor Yan’s imposing figure passed through a passage leading to a Primitive True Star and directly descended onto one of them.
Luo Feng’s days remained quiet as his biological spaceship advanced through the misty void. Most of his energy was usually spent mastering the Laws of Space and the Path of the Beast God. During the eighty thousand years spent creating his Ultimate Secret Technique previously, Luo Feng had comprehended the second profound mystery of the Law of Space: 'Sealing.'
As for the third mystery, 'Strangulation,' he was close to grasping it.
Comprehending the three profound mysteries and then merging them into one would mark his true entry into the Universe Venerable tier. Clearly, Luo Feng still had a considerable journey ahead.
“The Primitive True Star is truly cruel.”
Although Luo Feng hadn't gone there, he had seen some videos brought back by experts who had emerged from it.
The Primitive True Star was the place closest to the origin of the universe—a true treasure star! Yet, it was also fraught with peril…
And once one stepped onto the Primitive True Star, connection to the Virtual Universe was severed!
This was the first place Luo Feng knew of where the Virtual Universe could not be accessed.
“My decision was wise.”
“Without the Jie Armor, based purely on my current strength, I could only flee at the sight of any enemy.” Luo Feng endured silently. During the hundred-plus years of his calm existence, the Primitive True Star had experienced twelve large-scale bloodbaths due to treasure eruptions.
In these twelve massive battles, hundreds of Universe Venerables perished, and over twenty Universe Hegemons were killed. Universe Masters, however, all remained unharmed.
Naturally, the major universe factions were fighting with even greater fervor. After all, the more precious the treasure, the more experts they would dispatch to fight for it regardless of the cost.
“There aren’t even clear videos,” Luo Feng murmured to himself. “That makes sense. That level of frenzied slaughter, destroying heaven and earth, truly cannot be clearly filmed or recorded.”
“It’s a pity those twelve large-scale battles had nothing to do with me.”
“But… that will change soon.”
Luo Feng stood in the control room, looking through the external view system towards the massive three continents in the distance—this was the legendary dwelling place of the Yan God Race.
Although he had seen the three continents before, they were too far apart. It took another month of flying before he finally approached the true border.
“This is my Yan God Race territory. Human, you dare to come here!” A Silver-Armored Immortal from the Yan God Race flew over, fury blazing in his eyes.
“Hmph.”
Luo Feng frowned, and his divine might spread out, instantly suppressing the Immortal from the Yan God Race.
“Emperor Yan! I have arrived in your Yan God Race territory!” Luo Feng looked towards the palace complex hovering in the void at the center of the three continents and projected his voice thunderously. “Show yourself and meet me!”
