Luo Feng was using the absolute control over space and time afforded by his Golden Kingdom to sense the black piece of wood.
That section of black wood must have fractured for some reason; the break was remarkably clean. It appeared to be a naturally formed ultimate treasure, capable of shifting in size and possessing endless might.
“Never heard of such an anomaly,” Luo Feng mused internally. “The Lord of Yuan Ao, the Master of Torch Refining, the Master of Radiance—these are all living beings. It makes sense that I’m tasked with eliminating them if they pose a threat to the Origin Universe due to some peculiar circumstances. But this black wood is merely an inanimate object. How could it threaten the Origin Universe?”
Even the most formidable ultimate treasures, like the Star Tower, wouldn't be detrimental to the Origin Universe itself.
This realization only deepened Luo Feng’s vigilance.
“Human brat,” the Lord of Yuan Ao sneered, his single eye gleaming with triumph. “Regretting it now? Frightened? Too late. Among the countless powerhouses of the Origin Universe, you are the first to truly taste its power. Don’t blame me if your battle armor, wings, and weapons are lost, hahaha…”
Suddenly, the Lord of Yuan Ao roared, “Annihilate!!!”
The exact same move, the only supreme secret technique mastered by the Lord of Yuan Ao, unfolded once more. The dazzling, mesmerizing, dreamlike colossal flame vortex, akin to a nebular swirl, enveloped the Lord of Yuan Ao, causing his aura’s intensity to surge violently.
“Can’t play around anymore,” Luo Feng’s eyes narrowed. He unleashed his own supreme secret technique, roaring, “I am the Universe!”
An!!! First released by Xiao Yi of the Baidu Tieba Dawn Update Group.
The divine power burning within Luo Feng’s body was rapidly depleted at a terrifying pace. Simultaneously, the secret realm space previously bathed in endless golden light suddenly transformed… boundless chaotic energy began to manifest. This chaotic energy drifted and saturated every corner; it was omnipresent. At this moment, the surrounding area, spanning a diameter of one billion kilometers, had completely turned into a world of chaos.
“Chaotic energy?” The Lord of Yuan Ao’s triumphant laughter rang out. “You’ve finally unleashed your strongest move. Very good.”
“Good my foot!” Luo Feng roared back.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Within the miniature universe, vast and egg-shaped, chaotic energy filled every space. In terms of raw ‘miniature universe’ might, it was a notch stronger than the Golden Kingdom! Back then, relying on this technique, Luo Feng had managed to forcibly annihilate over six thousand universe masters, even against Master Banfu who possessed Elo’er…
Right now!
“Miniature Universe, Amplify!”
“Golden Kingdom, Amplify!”
“Nine Sigh River, Assault!”
Luo Feng bellowed.
Excluding the Star Tower, these were his ultimate means: the Miniature Universe (a scaled-down version of the Universe), the Golden Kingdom (absolute control over time and space), and the Nine Sigh River (the domain of a domain-type ultimate treasure). Being of different types, they did not conflict and were instantly stacked completely! The three layered together… the Golden Kingdom and the Nine Sigh River alone were enough to shatter the endless flames. Not to mention the even more powerful ‘Miniature Universe’ derived from the Primal Chaos Source.
“Rumble~~~”
Sheer crushing force!
The endless flame domain surrounding the Lord of Yuan Ao completely collapsed. The Nine Sigh River, bolstered by the dual amplification of the Miniature Universe and the Golden Kingdom, possessed infinite power, charging straight ahead, even impacting the Lord of Yuan Ao himself.
“Hahaha, exhilarating, but… die now!!!” The Lord of Yuan Ao suddenly roared, and with a thunderous boom, his entire divine body instantly expanded to his true size of one million kilometers! The colossal Lord of Yuan Ao, millions of kilometers tall, gripped the millions-of-kilometers-long black divine wood in both hands.
The boundless might generated by ‘Annihilate’ was completely focused on the black divine wood, causing wisps of black energy to writhe around it.
Bang!
A direct thrust!
The fractured end of the black divine wood lunged directly towards Luo Feng!
This thrust caused the Nine Sigh River, even with its dual amplification, to shatter inch by inch. Waves parted on both sides, utterly unable to stop the black divine wood wreathed in endless firelight and black energy. Furthermore, the black divine wood was continually growing larger, aiming directly at Luo Feng.
“Miniature Universe, Condense!” Luo Feng roared. The chaotic miniature universe suddenly… its endless chaotic energy gathered like a tornado toward the Endless Blade in Luo Feng’s right hand, carrying the fused might of the infinite chaotic flow. Luo Feng swung down viciously at the black divine wood that had reached him.
Bang bang bang!!!
The impact of power surged…
Luo Feng was forced back several thousand kilometers consecutively, while the Lord of Yuan Ao was also violently shoved back several hundred kilometers by the terrible shockwave.
“Impossible!” The Lord of Yuan Ao’s single eye was wild. He glanced at the divine wood in his hand and let out a frantic roar, “Die!”
“Shouldn’t I be the one saying that? You are the one who should die!”
Luo Feng beat his four wings. Under the oppression of the Miniature Universe, the Golden Kingdom, and the Nine Sigh River… the overall momentum was completely in Luo Feng’s favor. The Endless Blade, charged with the condensed power of the Miniature Universe, swung down again in fury, intending to smash the Lord of Yuan Ao into annihilation.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”……
The two clashed like lightning, both unleashing their ultimate power.
Suddenly, the boundless Miniature Universe vanished without a sound. The nine-second duration for a single cast had expired. Although he could have maintained it longer, Luo Feng no longer wished to fight.
“The Lord of Yuan Ao truly lives up to his name; I am impressed! I won't linger,” Luo Feng transformed into a streak of light and rapidly retreated. The surrounding space had long been sealed; instantaneous movement was impossible.
“Trying to leave? Dream on!”
The Lord of Yuan Ao roared in pursuit.
“Haha, you think you can chase me?” Luo Feng laughed heartily. With the dual obstruction of the Golden Kingdom and the Nine Sigh River, the Lord of Yuan Ao’s speed simply could not match Luo Feng’s.
Watching Luo Feng escape, the Lord of Yuan Ao was helpless. He had noticed that Luo Feng’s divine body aura was visibly weaker, estimating a loss of about ten percent of his divine body. In contrast, although he had used his supreme secret technique more than ten times, his divine body loss was only about two-thousandths.
If the fight continued like this, he was certain to wear Luo Feng down to death!
Unfortunately, with the Nine Sigh River augmented by the ‘Golden Kingdom’… control of the engagement was entirely in Luo Feng’s hands. If he could fight, he would fight; if not, he dared to engage just long enough to make a clean break when death seemed imminent.
“Luo Feng! Human brat! You ran fast enough this time. I doubt the other Universe Masters of the Ancestor God Sect can move as quickly. I’ll wait here on my territory. Let’s see what your Ancestor God Sect can do to me?” The Lord of Yuan Ao let out earth-shattering roars. Amidst the shouts, Luo Feng had already flown out of the sealed space and vanished with an instant teleportation.
“That Lord of Yuan Ao is incredibly strong. What exactly is that black divine wood?” Luo Feng floated in a void somewhere within the vast Yuan Ao Secret Realm. “In terms of secret techniques, he is clearly far behind the Master of Star River, but with that divine wood… his attack power is almost equal to the Master of Star River. No wonder he claimed he annihilated a Universe Master with a single strike in the Cosmic Sea before. Even after I used the Golden Kingdom, the Miniature Universe, and the Nine Sigh River, I was still at a disadvantage.”
Luo Feng realized that even with the Miniature Universe, the Nine Sigh River, the Golden Kingdom, plus the Endless Blade, and using the Golden Light secret technique, he could barely match the power of the second layer of the Star Tower!
Using the Star Tower itself consumed very little divine power.
But the ‘Miniature Universe’ consumed a full tenth of his divine body!
“If I hadn't used the Miniature Universe just now, I would have been at a decisive disadvantage! I likely would have been blasted away instantly, suffering severe divine body damage,” Luo Feng thought. Only with the Miniature Universe’s augmentation was he only slightly disadvantaged.
“Maintaining maximum power means consuming 10% of my divine body with every use,” First released by Xiao Yi of the Baidu Tieba Dawn Update Group.
“Casting it a few times would mean risking my life.”
Luo Feng shook his head inwardly.
He was not his match.
“Ancestor God,” Luo Feng flipped his hand and took out the golden token.
“Luo Feng.”
“Ancestor God, the Lord of Yuan Ao is also a target! And he possesses a black divine wood… that is also a target! The black divine wood’s power is extreme. Relying on it, the Lord of Yuan Ao is far beyond my ability to resist,” Luo Feng said. “To eliminate him, I am truly powerless.”
“You have done very well. When that Yuan Ao unleashed the black divine wood, I already understood the root. The true source is that ‘Black Wood.’ I have already dispatched the Nine Nether God Master and two other Universe Masters. They will gather at Purple Thorn Island first. You must quickly meet them and have them teleport directly to you via Divine Kingdom.”
“The Nine Nether God Master?” Luo Feng immediately responded, “I will go meet them right away.”
Luo Feng stood in the void. Beside him, a patch of emerald green light flared—it was the Divine Kingdom teleportation activated by Luo Feng’s soul servant. Three figures emerged from it.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing an exquisitely ornate black robe. His fair, pale face was adorned with black secret markings, and he exuded an eerie charm… a different aura from the City Lord of Chaos or the Dark Master—it was the supreme self-possession of one who stands alone in the universe.
“Lord of the Galaxy,” the eerie middle-aged man addressed Luo Feng.
“Master of Nine Nether,” Luo Feng replied in kind.
The two scrutinized each other.
“Interesting, the little fellow from back then has grown so powerful,” the Master of Nine Nether turned to the side. “You should recognize the two beside me, shouldn't you?”
Luo Feng took a look and smiled. “This is Master You Nan of the Thorn Ring Alliance, and this is Master An Mang of the Ancestor God Sect.” Having previously reviewed information on the prominent Universe Masters from various factions in the Virtual Universe, Luo Feng had committed details to memory, allowing him to anticipate and guard against their known skills during combat.
“Correct.”
The Master of Nine Nether nodded. “They are both outer members of our Ancestor God Sect, belonging to my Nine Nether lineage. You are also of my Nine Nether lineage, so the four of us are quite closely related.”
“Lord of the Galaxy.”
“Lord of the Galaxy.” Master You Nan and Master An Mang spoke in unison.
Master You Nan was a bald man with bony wings, while Master An Mang was a massive, winding python whose body was wreathed in numerous illusions. Both looked at Luo Feng with goodwill.
“It is a pleasure to meet you both,” Luo Feng smiled back.
“Mm,”
The Master of Nine Nether nodded. “This time, concerning the matter of the Lord of Yuan Ao, our Nine Nether lineage will represent the Ancestor God Sect faction.”
