The high heavens of the Endless Continent were veiled by a thin, film-like membrane of iridescent colors, presenting extreme resistance. Luo Feng passed through it effortlessly.

"This resistance... I estimate only a Sector Lord could penetrate it." Luo Feng nodded slightly, then began to descend. Even in the air, he felt an overwhelmingly strong suction pulling from below, so intense it made him inwardly gasp. "Such powerful attraction—one probably needs to be Universe level just to maintain flight here."

He flashed briefly in mid-air before landing upon the vast, desolate earth. The moment his feet touched the ground, the pulling force instantly waned to a nearly negligible level. He murmured softly, "The Master of Yuan Ao truly put immense effort into creating these twelve continents."

"One continent, one iridescent membrane. There must be a powerful repulsive force between the two. One only avoids this repulsion by landing on the earth?" Luo Feng couldn't help but marvel at the capability of the Master of Yuan Ao, who existed near the very dawn of the universe. Creating these twelve continents alone must have consumed a tremendous amount of thought.

Luo Feng scanned his surroundings.

It was a barren black wasteland, stretching as far as the eye could see, littered with countless skeletons. Many were decayed, though some remained remarkably solid, suggesting they had not perished an extremely long time ago.

"This battlefield spans perhaps ten thousand kilometers. The strength levels of the remains vary, the highest being merely a Sector Lord," Luo Feng mused internally. Using his Ethereal Divine Power to scan, he had only detected three Sector Lord corpses on the entire battlefield—one buried deep underground, and the other two nestled within the dense mountains.

At the two far edges of the battlefield stood massive, ancient cities. Along the sprawling city walls, stretching for ten thousand kilometers, numerous warriors patrolled. Their appearances immediately revealed that they hailed from distinct races, while the lingering scent of blood emanating from the ramparts told tales of brutal warfare.

"A battlefield? Two formidable strongholds?" Luo Feng swiftly transformed. His wings shifted to a deep cyan, his hair became short and fiery red, and his skin adopted a deep cyan hue. This appearance bore a striking resemblance to one of the races among the soldiers he had scanned with his Ethereal Divine Power.

"I don't recognize this race." His consciousness swiftly probed through the virtual universe for data...

The search startled Luo Feng.

"The Kaju Clan?"

"This weak race vanished from the universe long ago, only remnants surviving within the Yuan Ao Secret Realm." Luo Feng sighed inwardly. "The Master of Yuan Ao's massive plundering back then unexpectedly preserved this lineage for the Kaju Clan."

Swish!

With a single stride, Luo Feng bypassed the magnificent border city and arrived above a vast, impossibly luxurious metropolis, millions of kilometers away. Millions of citizens bustled below, but Luo Feng’s appearance high above was naturally imperceptible to ordinary lifeforms.

"Still gray." In the palm of Luo Feng's left hand rested a golden toad whose eyes remained a dull gray.

"Each of these continents is colossal—this gray toad requires me to be within 100 million kilometers of a target before it senses anything. How long will this take?" Luo Feng took another stride... reaching 100 million kilometers away to continue his search...

Luo Feng began a long period of exploration. It must be noted that the diameter of these twelve continents ranged from over a light-year to nearly eight light-years!

Luo Feng maintained a jump distance of 100 million kilometers each time. Even if he performed ten thousand jumps a day... it would take ten days just to traverse one light-year-long continent. And that didn't account for its width, which was also a light-year...

"To thoroughly scan all twelve continents will likely require tens of thousands of years."

"Fortunately, the actual scanning only takes a slight focus of my thoughts."

Luo Feng dedicated only a sliver of his consciousness to this long scouting journey. His other awarenesses were fully immersed in the study of the 'Beast God Path' and the 'Pattern Flow.'

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed since Luo Feng arrived on this continent.

"Nothing."

"Not here either."

"Here... Huh! It turned red!" Luo Feng, in the middle of successive jumps, suddenly stopped, holding the golden toad. Its eyes had turned fiery red. This was the first time in half a year of exploration that the golden toad’s eyes had flushed red, immediately jolting Luo Feng—even his cultivation clones paused their training.

"It's in that direction." Luo Feng looked up towards the distance, then instantaneously transported himself to a spot about a million kilometers from the target. Only then did Luo Feng begin to fly...

"A million kilometers—I can cover that in a flash."

"I need to check... exactly what is around the target that the 'Ancestor God Sect,' the greatest power in the universe, values so highly, claiming it portends events detrimental to the Original Universe." Luo Feng dared not be careless. If the Ancestor God warned that something was 'detrimental to the Original Universe,' it was likely no simple matter.

Flying high in the sky, his Ethereal Divine Power scanned the surrounding hundred thousand kilometers. Luo Feng dared not probe much further, lest he alert the target and let it escape.

This was the first time Luo Feng had conducted such a meticulous examination on this vast continent. As he searched, he witnessed scenes of intense love and hatred unfolding across the land. The unique civilization of this 'Jue An Continent' was gradually revealed to him, much to Luo Feng's pleasure.

"Interesting little fellow... unfortunate little fellow." Luo Feng's Ethereal Divine Power suddenly locked onto a spot on the earth below.

"The Wei Yan Clan! Just wait! I, Bu A, will surely become a Great Saint and raze all of Wei Yan Fortress to the ground!" A burly knight clad in thick, full-body armor sat astride a massive demonic beast with huge tusks. Two enormous, blood-red battle-axes hung beside the beast. The knight’s revealed face bore a horizontal scar slicing across half his face, making him look even more ferocious.

"To insult me like this! I served him, fought for him through life and death, and he dares insult me! He even took my personal handmaiden and gave her to another!" "I will definitely have my revenge! I swear, the next time I return, I will be a Great Saint, and I will flatten all of Wei Yan Fortress!"

The demonic beast knight cursed as the beast galloped away.

Rumble, rumble~ Behind them, hoofbeats thundered.

The demonic beast knight glanced back, his eyes widening, and his face instantly turned pale. Behind him, nearly a hundred demonic beast knights were charging in pursuit. "Gah-gah-gah-gah! Caw!" Piercing screeches echoed from the sky, causing the knight, Bu A, to look up. High above, a colossal monstrous creature was soaring, its entire body covered in fiery red scales, with flames encircling the edges of its wings.

"A Firewing Dragon! The Wei Yan Fortress has only nine Firewing Dragons in total! To hunt down a mere Rank Five Knight like me, they dispatched a Firewing Dragon and over a hundred demonic beast knights!" Fury flashed in Bu A’s eyes.

He suddenly snatched up the twelve-meter-long knight's lance resting on the beast's back.

Holding the lance with both hands, he aimed it toward the Firewing Dragon rapidly descending from the sky. Sweat beaded on Bu A's face as his entire body trembled slightly, his jaw clenched as he stared. It wasn't fear...

It was the overwhelming pressure exerted by the Firewing Dragon in the sky.

A Firewing Dragon could only be matched by a 'Rank Nine Knight,' second only to a Saint in power. He, a Rank Five Knight... even a thousand of him couldn't defeat one Firewing Dragon!

Boom! The demonic beast beneath him buckled at the knees and collapsed, sending Bu A tumbling through the air to crash onto the ground. Despite his chaotic fall, his massive lance remained aimed at the sky.

"Wei Yan Clan! Wei Yan Clan! Damn you! Even if this Master Bu A dies, I will become a Ghost Knight and come back for you!" Bu A roared.

"Hahaha..." "A Ghost Knight?," "Dream on."

The Firewing Dragon circled above, and the other demonic beast knights quickly caught up, soon heavily surrounding Bu A, who was in the center. Luo Feng judged from his high vantage point that these demonic beast riders likely belonged to three different factions. In terms of strength, the flying beast was at the level of a peak Star Traveller Rank Seven or Eight. Although flying normally required a Universe-level being, this beast could manage flight through wing leverage and its inherent abilities.

As for the other riders, they were all Planet-level, the strongest being only a Planet Rank Nine.

"Bu A, I won't bully you—my subordinates won't fight. It will be just me dealing with you." The knight wearing the most ornate armor rode a pure white, single-horned strange beast.

"Come on! Come on, let Master Bu A spank your butt!" Bu A, clutching the giant lance, grinned maniacally, staring at the handsome knight. He understood... before the Wei Yan Clan, he was just an insignificant ant. Knowing resistance meant death, he simply could not stomach the humiliation.

Suddenly... the world fell silent. Time seemed to freeze. The wild grass bent by the wind stood rigidly still. The charging knights and the circling beast in the sky all stopped moving.

"Wh-what's happening?" Bu A clutched his lance, paralyzed with terror.

A figure walked slowly toward him, a faint smile playing on his lips as he looked down at Bu A.

"You'll do."

The man with the deep cyan wings spoke these words, and an invisible force instantly bound Bu A.

Swish!

In the wilderness a thousand kilometers away, Bu A stumbled onto the ground. He immediately scrambled to his feet, muttering, "Dammit, did Master Bu A run into a demon? Huh... where's the Firewing Dragon? What, where is this place..." The sturdy, muscular man stared in horror at the figure standing before him.

That figure wore what appeared to be a simple black robe, possessing deep cyan wings, deep cyan skin, and fiery red short hair. An aura of sinister, exotic charm faintly radiated from him.

"My Lord." Bu A immediately bowed deeply.

"I have arrived in this world and need to find a lifeform to question about certain matters. You have been chosen by me." Luo Feng looked at Bu A. "I know you fear that Wei Yan Clan. Rest assured, the group chasing you will only assume you fled far away. Oh? You're guessing my identity? Saint? Legend? Demigod?" Bu A grew even more terrified; this being before him seemed to know exactly what he was thinking.

Luo Feng smiled. A Universe-level being could effortlessly perform a soul search on a Planet-level expert; how could the subtle fluctuations of this weak fellow’s thoughts escape his detection now? Luo Feng casually provoked the little fellow while swiftly sweeping through his memories, thoroughly examining them.

"An interesting world."

"An interesting little fellow." Luo Feng looked at Bu A, then turned his gaze toward the distant mountain range—the direction that had turned the golden toad's eyes red. Residing there was one of the natives' so-called Legends?

"I appreciate your temperament, but I am curious: if you possessed great power, what would you become?" Luo Feng looked at the terrified, unsettled, and anxious Bu A before him.

Instantly, a very common, strange fruit originating from the universe appeared in Luo Feng's palm from the vast materials stored in his world ring. It immediately transformed into a stream of green light that enveloped Bu A.

"Ah!" Bu A cried out in alarm as his entire body was covered by the green light.

Under Luo Feng's meticulous manipulation of his divine power, Bu A's body continuously absorbed the essence of energy, breaking through level after level. His life gene surged upward at a terrifying speed, his internal energy constantly advancing... In a moment, a Universe Rank Nine expert was born. Luo Feng watched this scene with a smile. Since he had already obtained the information he needed, what he did to Bu A was merely a whim. To a great Universe Master, the value of a single cosmic fruit was negligible.

Then, turning around, Luo Feng took a step and was gone.
