Two months after taking over the Star Tower, Luo Feng split his forces in two. The Earthling avatar, bringing the Demon Slaughter Clan clone, arrived at Purple Thorn Island.

Ostensibly, this was to draw the attention of the alien races, openly commencing his cultivation. Furthermore, every time Luo Feng visited the Inheritance Land, he flew there rather than using 'Teleportation,' clearly intending to let those alien races track his movements.

The Golden Horned Beast clone, however, first used the God Kingdom Teleportation to reach a distant domain of the universe, then traveled slowly by spaceship through the dark universe until finally reaching the destination: the Gu Fan Secret Realm. ……, "My attainments in the Secret Rune Pattern Flow are exceptionally high.

If it weren't for the wager with the 'Progenitor' back then, which forced me to restrain myself from studying the Dao of Laws, my progress in the Laws… I probably would have reached a very high level long ago, perhaps even mastering the sixth level of the Beast God Dao. However, focusing solely on the Secret Rune Pattern Flow path has indeed benefited me immensely." "But the Beast God Inheritance from the Ancestor God Sect has also helped quite a bit." "Without the Beast God Inheritance, mastering just the fourth level of the Beast God Dao would likely have taken me ten years.

The fifth level, perhaps ten thousand years," Luo Feng mused internally, acknowledging that this speed was due to his profound mastery of the Secret Rune Pattern Flow and the presence of the Beast God Heart. "But with successive Beast God Inheritances, the efficiency is pushed to an absolute extreme." "As long as I can accept and absorb it, I can continuously absorb it again and again." "It seems I need to stay on Purple Thorn Island for a while longer." With that, Luo Feng transformed into a streak of light, rapidly flying out of his residence and heading straight toward the main square of the Purple Thorn Island Master.

"Luo Feng is out." "He visits the Beast God Inheritance every few days; his schedule is so regular." Certain attentive alien races immediately recorded the information. They were under orders to collect every detail concerning Luo Feng—the future supreme existence slated to eliminate the Human Race—making his intelligence critically important.

"Record it." "Record it. You have completely miscalculated my strength.

One wrong step leads to another, and I will show you what it means to try and steal a chicken only to lose the rice used for bait." Luo Feng flew into the fountain screen again, which teleported him to the Inheritance Land. The Gu Fan Secret Realm was a cosmic secret realm with a maximum diameter of nearly 120 light-years.

Although significantly smaller than the Ancestral God Secret Realm, it was extremely perilous. A seemingly ordinary dark red spaceship was flying through the void.

In the control room. A cute, one-meter-long Golden Horned Beast stood on the sofa, gazing outside.

"According to the information given by Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest, the fifth black metal plate is in the Gu Fan Secret Realm!" "Gu Fan Secret Realm…" The Golden Horned Luo Feng’s mind instantly filled with vast amounts of data about the Gu Fan Secret Realm he had researched in the virtual universe. It was an ancient cosmic secret realm where several massive battles had occurred in the early stages of the universe's birth, all fought over the rare treasures within.

Gradually, the treasures in the Gu Fan Secret Realm dwindled. Because the treasures were so few and the danger so extreme, even Supreme Beings stopped visiting; only some Undying or Universe Venerables occasionally tried their luck.

Extremely dangerous environment, scarcity of treasures! These two factors alone meant very few alien races ventured into the Gu Wan Secret Realm.

Even many Special Life Forms had departed, leaving only a select few to continue existing here… The place had become somewhat desolate, with life rarely appearing. "A nearly abandoned cosmic secret realm." "Extremely dangerous, very few treasures." "The fifth black metal plate is hidden here?

Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest really knows how to pick a location. Whoa…" The cute Golden Horned Beast, who had been standing on the sofa, suddenly had its eyes light up.

At that moment, every cell in its body seemed to boil and tremble as a powerful summons radiated out. Come!

The Golden Horned Beast instantly teleported outside the spaceship and stored the vessel directly into its World Ring. "It's in that direction." The Golden Horned Luo Feng executed a teleportation, rapidly moving toward the sensed location.

The cosmic secret realm was bizarrely dangerous at every turn, yet the Golden Horned Beast, whose might surpassed even the peak Universe Overlords, traversed it with ease. "The fifth black metal plate." The Golden Horned Luo Feng tilted his head back, gazing into the distance.

Endless black streams permeated the void, making it impossible to discern anything deep within the darkness. However, the intense summons left Luo Feng utterly certain: the final black metal plate for the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual was there!

Although the Golden Horned Beast clone didn't need it, the Earthling avatar desperately required it… Once reaching the perfect gene level, the Earthling avatar could also achieve a divine body height of over 90,000 kilometers, possess vastly greater divine power reserves, and be able to deploy the technique, "I Am the Universe." "Be cautious." "Nine Roar River!" With a mere thought from the Golden Horned Beast, a resounding boom echoed. Surging, turbulent golden river water erupted in the void, enveloping a radius of nearly ten million kilometers.

Within those endless golden waves swam nine jubilant exotic beasts, circling the black Golden Horned Beast that strode upon the surging water. "Advance." The Golden Horned Luo Feng slowly flew toward the darkness.

The Nine Roar River swept out, scouting ahead for any danger. In the blink of an eye, they had penetrated over one hundred million kilometers deep.

Splash... A gigantic form vaguely swept past in the darkness, remotely fixing its gaze upon the black Golden Horned Beast enveloped by the golden ripples.

The Golden Horned Beast continued to fly deeper into the darkness, maintaining the Nine Roar River and having long since deployed spatial lockdown, moving cautiously. It faintly sensed it was being watched by some powerful entity.

"I knew it. Teacher wouldn't let me acquire the fifth black metal plate so easily." The Golden Horned Luo Feng proceeded carefully, then suddenly—BOOM!

An explosive sound erupted. A colossal figure instantly materialized from the endless darkness and charged directly into its Nine Roar River domain.

The rumbling sound indicated the Nine Roar River offered immense resistance, yet it utterly failed to impede this massive form. The giant figure moved through the waves at incredible speed, rapidly breaking through the ripples of the Nine Roar River to strike at Luo Feng.

"Huh?" Only then did the Golden Horned Luo Feng clearly see it: a black crystal giant, towering at a height of one million kilometers, wielding its six massive arms, each clutching a colossal red war hammer. "Black Sky Lord?" The Golden Horned Luo Feng was startled.

There were indeed extremely powerful Special Life Forms in the Gu Fan Secret Realm, and the "Black Sky Lord" was one of them—a peak Universe Overlord whose strength was comparable to the Strongest World Tree. It was a unique mountain giant!

Its life gene level was rumored to be as high as 8000 times, and the six divine hammers it wielded were all high-tier supreme treasures; combined with its innate secret technique… it was nearly unrivaled. "This is big trouble." The Golden Horned Luo Feng felt a headache looking at the mountain giant roaring through the waves.

"I can defeat him, but with a body size of a million kilometers… killing him will be exceedingly difficult." "Get out!" "Get out!" the Black Sky Lord roared, charging through the waves. "Black Sky Lord, I have no intention of offending you, but you must not obstruct me." The Golden Horned Beast, which had been barely over a meter long, instantly magnified.

In a blink, it transformed into a massive Golden Horned Beast, approximately one million kilometers long, covered in black scales, staring down the Black Sky Lord. "Golden Horned Beast, this is not a place you should be," the Black Sky Lord bellowed as it attacked.

The waves of the Nine Roar River… In just a moment, the Black Sky Lord broke through the obstruction. "Get lost!" The Golden Horned Beast roared, instantly transforming into a dazzling golden light.

Slash! Cold and sharp!

A gigantic blade of golden light, unleashed from its massive scaled wings, cleaved directly toward the Black Sky Lord. The Black Sky Lord was also a famous entity in the universe; although it rarely appeared, living sequestered in the Gu Fan Secret Realm, its strength was absolutely no less than that of Palace Master Tian Shi or the Strongest World Tree, those top-tier Universe Overlords.

"Damn it!" The Black Sky Lord let out a frenzied roar. Golden secret runes suddenly surfaced across its entire black crystal body, covering its chest, back, and everywhere else.

Instantly, the surrounding space began to tear and spin, making the Golden Horned Beast feel as if a black hole had materialized out of thin air! With a wild bellow, the six divine hammers in the Black Sky Lord's hands smashed down in succession.

Each black hammer, driven by the special secret technique and combined with its "Innate Secret Technique," formed six black spatial vortexes visible to the naked eye… which struck directly toward Luo Feng. The sky turned black.

Under the Black Sky Lord’s ultimate move, all surrounding light was completely swallowed, plunging everything into darkness. Luo Feng could only perceive the six incoming vortexes through the sensing field of the Nine Roar River.

CRASH! The dazzling golden feathered wings slashed downward.

The six black spatial vortexes, brimming with terrifying power, were completely annihilated. Immediately following, the golden light wing struck the Black Sky Lord's chest.

Whoosh… The Black Sky Lord was sent tumbling backward within the Nine Roar River by the wing-blade attack before managing to stabilize itself. The space spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers around them had long since been shattered into a stream of particles, which were slowly beginning to coalesce and restore themselves.

"What a powerful Golden Horned Beast. I cannot defeat you," the Black Sky Lord roared once, quickly flying outward.

The Golden Horned Beast did not stop it. Due to the Beast God Armor, every part of its body could be used for combat, but its sharp horn was clearly its most powerful asset.

However, Luo Feng knew that killing the Black Sky Lord, whose divine body purity was comparable to his own and whose size was a million kilometers, was excessively difficult; making the Black Sky Lord retreat in defeat was sufficient. "Golden Horned Beast." As the Black Sky Lord flew out of the Nine Roar River domain, it turned back and sent a divine power transmission: "This is not a place for you.

You are stronger than me, and I respect your power. But if you do not wish to die, you should leave.

If you continue pressing forward, my master will surely kill you." With that, the Black Sky Lord’s massive divine body transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the endless darkness. The Black Sky Lord’s words deeply shocked Luo Feng.

"His master?" "The Black Sky Lord is a peak Universe Overlord. Even a Universe Master would have a headache trying to kill such a massive divine body.

Yet he has a master. Teacher, Teacher, just where did you hide the fifth black metal plate?" Luo Feng immediately understood that this matter was far from simple this time.

"Let’s see." "I’d like to see who the Black Sky Lord’s master is! Even if it’s a Universe’s Strongest, I will not fear him." After a brief contemplation, Luo Feng continued forward, the golden waves churning mightily as they penetrated deeper into the darkness.

The Golden Horned Beast remained at the center of the Nine Roar River, advancing majestically, pushing ever further into the dark depths.
