"What Chaotic Qi Current?" Venerable Sha Wu asked in confusion. Since the Cihuan Alliance did not have its own universe, Venerable Sha Wu genuinely had no idea what the Chaotic Qi Current was.

Fortress Master Fan Nuo glanced at Venerable Sha Wu. "That is the energy from the beginning of the universe, the mother source of all energy we know!"

"The mother source of all energy?" Venerable Sha Wu was shocked.

"You don't need to ask more," Fortress Master Fan Nuo frowned deeply. "Tell me in detail how you encountered the Chaotic Qi Current on Primitive Star."

As a top-tier Cosmic Overlord, Fortress Master Fan Nuo held an extremely high status and knew many more secrets of the vast universe. Naturally, he knew the Chaotic Qi Current should not appear on Primitive Star.

"It was like this," Venerable Sha Wu quickly explained. "I was observing the battle between the Golden Horned Beast and Venerable Tian Chang from a great distance. Suddenly, the world dimmed, as if I had fallen into another dimension, and the surroundings were permeated with dark currents. I immediately knew I must have been caught in some dangerous move of the enemy. I immediately begged for mercy, hoping that powerful being would spare me, but it was useless... Then those dark currents immediately split into two parts, like enormous grinding stones, trapping me in the center. Beneath that grinding stone of dark currents... my divine body rapidly depleted, forcing me to choose self-detonation."

Fortress Master Fan Nuo nodded slightly, inwardly startled. It really was the Chaotic Qi Current; it must have come from some special supreme treasure.

From what Fortress Master Fan Nuo knew... certain exceptionally powerful supreme treasures, or the most terrifying entities among Universe Masters, could create incredibly potent secret techniques capable of manifesting the Chaotic Qi Current.

"It was merely a Golden Horned Beast and Venerable Tian Chang; it shouldn't have required a Universe Master to get involved. If a Universe Master were truly present, killing Venerable Sha Wu would have been far easier; there would have been no need to use such a heaven-defying secret technique," Fortress Master Fan Nuo mused. "Then there is only one possibility... it must be a specific, special supreme treasure."

Although Fortress Master Fan Nuo had profound insight, he was unaware that beings at the Perfect Lifeform Gene level could acquire the strongest innate secret techniques—that was already a secret of the highest order in the universe. Thus, he did not guess the existence of an innate secret technique!

"What did the domain-type supreme treasure of that Golden Horned Beast look like?" Fortress Master Fan Nuo fixed his gaze on Venerable Sha Wu. While there were many domain-type supreme treasures in the universe, the domain manifested by each was distinct, possessing its own unique characteristics. From the domain-type treasure, he might be able to deduce some background of that Golden Horned Beast, since, as of now, Fortress Master Fan Nuo knew absolutely nothing about it.

"A domain?"

Venerable Sha Wu recalled. "A golden river, a vast and mighty golden river. Oh yes, there were several strange beasts! I saw that when the two supreme treasure domains impacted each other, those strange beasts and Venerable Tian Chang's domain's massive rolling stones were constantly colliding. As for exactly how many strange beasts there were... I couldn't see clearly because it was too far away."

"A golden river? Strange beasts?" Fortress Master Fan Nuo frowned, then his eyes suddenly lit up. "Human Luo Feng!"

"Human Luo Feng?" Venerable Sha Wu was puzzled.

"You can withdraw now," Fortress Master Fan Nuo commanded.

Venerable Sha Wu was slightly taken aback, feeling a pang of resentment.

"Hm?" Fortress Master Fan Nuo looked at him coldly.

Venerable Sha Wu had no choice but to grit his teeth and immediately turn into a streak of light, flying away. In his heart, he cursed: "Damn Fortress Master Fan Nuo! I was following Venerable Tian Chang under your orders, and now you just dismiss me! Although I have been resurrected by reversing time, all my heavy treasures are gone—every single one. I suffered a huge loss this time; it’s just terrible luck."

Fortress Master Fan Nuo watched the departing Venerable Sha Wu coldly: "Hmph... I covered the cost of his time reversal and resurrection, yet he still expects favors?"

"Hmm." Fortress Master Fan Nuo stood in the void, deep in thought.

"Human Luo Feng? That domain treasure is the Nine-Curve River belonging to the Human Race, and the Nine-Curve River is in the hands of Human Luo Feng," Fortress Master Fan Nuo calculated inwardly. That supreme treasure, the Nine-Curve River, originally did not belong to the Human Race; after some battles... treasures rotated hands, eventually falling to the Human Race.

Luo Feng had been quite famous recently because he had caused the demise of quite a few entities from various races across the universe.

Fortress Master Fan Nuo had naturally received intelligence early on, knowing Luo Feng possessed the Nine-Curve River! Venerable Sha Wu, however, due to his position on Primitive Star, was of ordinary status; he only knew that many Xeno Universe Venerables had been disgraced while greedily pursuing Luo Feng, but he was entirely ignorant of detailed information like the "Nine-Curve River," etc.

"Earlier, Venerable Sha Wu mentioned the Golden Horned Beast and Venerable Tian Chang fighting, and then the Nine-Curve River suddenly appeared. It seems... Human Luo Feng's helper is that Golden Horned Beast," Fortress Master Fan Nuo nodded silently. "To achieve such a record, killing numerous Xeno Venerables and even Overlords, it's no wonder he could make Venerable Tian Chang flee."

"And the treasure that finally formed the Chaotic Qi Current must belong to the Golden Horned Beast. If it were Venerable Tian Chang, he wouldn't have needed to flee when he encountered me back then."

"Venerable Sha Wu was killed from a distance. Venerable Tian Chang is likely perished. Therefore... the treasure must be with that Golden Horned Beast."

"Luo Feng? Golden Horned Beast?"

Fortress Master Fan Nuo made a decision after a brief calculation.

"I shall go pay Human Luo Feng a visit," Fortress Master Fan Nuo immediately transformed into a streak of light and rapidly vanished from the void.

On Jishi.

Luo Feng, clad in silver armor and silver wings, carried the Zhan Ming Blade on his back as he flew high in the air. When some Xeno Venerables saw Luo Feng from afar, they immediately retreated.

"It's Luo Feng."

"Quickly steer clear."

"Didn't Luo Feng only have a pair of wings before? How did they become four?"

"Who knows? Did he transform his supreme treasure? Or did he switch treasures?"

Luo Feng, much like other top-tier Cosmic Overlords, caused Xeno Venerables and even Cosmic Overlords to keep their distance. Of course, if a planet had a Universe Master descending upon it, Luo Feng would also avoid it. Even if he absolutely had to enter that planet, he would keep a distance of over ten billion kilometers from the Universe Master's location.

"Is this the feeling of being powerful?" Luo Feng stood atop a majestic mountain peak, looking down upon the vast earth. "On the so-called perilous Primitive Star, I can walk sideways. As long as I avoid the locations where Universe Masters descend, no one dares to provoke me."

Primitive Star was dangerous, but that was relative.

It was extremely dangerous for Universe Venerables!

The danger level was much lower for Cosmic Overlords. Otherwise, Venerable Gui Yi would not have been so confident in borrowing a soul-type supreme treasure from Luo Feng back then. Generally, if one avoided top-tier Cosmic Overlords and Universe Masters, there would be no danger.

For a top-tier Cosmic Overlord, it was even safer, unless they actively provoked a Universe Master! For example, during the opening of some treasure, when top-tier Cosmic Overlords and Universe Masters entered the fray to compete... in such situations, demise was certainly possible. Otherwise, by always avoiding Universe Masters, one could absolutely walk sideways.

"Hm?" Luo Feng suddenly turned his head towards a direction. "The experts of various races on Primitive Star usually avoid me from afar, yet this Xeno being dares to approach within ten million kilometers of me?"

A stream of verdant green light flew directly towards Luo Feng in the distance.

"That is?" Luo Feng observed closely. It was a giant man whose entire body radiated life-green energy. Judging by racial characteristics, appearance, and aura...

"It's Fortress Master Fan Nuo of the Cihuan Alliance." Luo Feng instantly recognized him, then chuckled inwardly. No wonder he wasn't afraid; he was a top-tier Cosmic Overlord—Fortress Master Fan Nuo.

"Human Luo Feng!" a deep voice sounded.

"Fortress Master Fan Nuo," Luo Feng stood atop the mountain peak and looked over.

A moment later.

Fortress Master Fan Nuo landed not far from Luo Feng, looking over with a smile. "I have long heard of Human Luo Feng's name. This is our first meeting, I presume?"

"It is likely that my pioneering trip on Primitive Star is what drew Fortress Master Fan Nuo's attention," Luo Feng smiled. "And having such a strong reputation, even causing many Xeno Venerables to avoid me on sight, it relies not on my own strength. Unlike Fortress Master Fan Nuo, whose own strength is enough to awe all parties."

Since various races believed he had a helper, let them continue to believe it. After all, no one would believe him even if he told the truth.

"Your strength is also quite good; becoming a Cosmic Overlord in the future is highly likely," Fortress Master Fan Nuo looked at Luo Feng. "Seeing you, I actually have something I need assistance with."

"Help?" Luo Feng quickly said. "Please speak."

Fortress Master Fan Nuo needed his help?

"I need to forge a supreme treasure and have collected many materials," Fortress Master Fan Nuo looked at Luo Feng. "But I lack a crucial precious metal. Other Universe Venerables see me and detour, making it impossible for me to even speak to them."

Luo Feng laughed.

Indeed, he wanted to talk to Xeno beings, but they already avoided him tens of millions of kilometers away.

"I wonder if Luo Feng possesses the metals I need. If you do, I am willing to exchange at a high price," Fortress Master Fan Nuo said with a smile.

"Metals?" Luo Feng asked doubtfully. "Doesn't the Cihuan Alliance have them?"

"We truly don't," Fortress Master Fan Nuo said helplessly. "There are an extremely wide variety of precious metals in the universe, and the ones I require... we had them in the past, but they have all been exchanged now."

Luo Feng nodded.

"I do possess some materials, but I fear they might not be what Fortress Master Fan Nuo desires," Luo Feng said. After killing Venerable Tian Chang earlier, Luo Feng had returned to his Divine Kingdom and stored some supreme treasures, heavy treasures, and even materials he couldn't understand within his Divine Kingdom. Since even he couldn't understand them, they were obviously extremely valuable. The items Luo Feng carried with him were those he could identify and knew the value of.

"Perhaps you do," Fortress Master Fan Nuo laughed heartily. "How about showing them to me?"

"Alright."

Luo Feng waved his hand, and a massive quantity of metals materialized before him—dense and numerous, totaling millions of types. This made Fortress Master Fan Nuo's eyes light up. He watched and analyzed intently. After only a moment, his expression dimmed slightly, and he shook his head with a wry smile. "They truly aren't here."

"If even the Cihuan Alliance is short of these metals, how could I possibly have them?" Luo Feng said with a smile as he put them away.

Fortress Master Fan Nuo hesitated slightly.

"If you have anything else to say, please speak freely," Luo Feng said with a gentle smile.

Fortress Master Fan Nuo said, "I truly didn't want to ask, but this metal is very important to me. All the races in the universe likely know that Luo Feng, you have a helper who is a top-tier Cosmic Overlord. I believe he must carry many precious metals. I wonder... could you allow me a look? If I find what I need, I will certainly exchange it with treasures; your friend won't suffer a loss."
