On Thunder Island, atop the virtual universe. Luo Feng and the Master of Ice Peak walked side-by-side along the corridor, their spirits considerably bright.

Although the battle on the Primal Continent had earned him fame and even placed him among the Universe Masters, deep down, Luo Feng was acutely aware that he ranked at the very bottom of that echelon. The fundamental reason for his explosive power on the Primal Continent was to reclaim ownership of Earth as quickly as possible, allowing the people of Earth to finally possess their homeland!

With Earth returned to the "Flying Earth Race," they were already becoming an implicit offshoot among the cosmos, much like the so-called ‘Manka Race’ within the human species—the Earthlings had also become an extremely noble race. The objective achieved, yet Luo Feng understood his own weakness!

On the Primal Continent, relying on the Jie Armor and the even more heaven-defying ‘Star Tower,’ he was still at a disadvantage against a Star River Master! Without the Star Tower… he was indeed bottom-tier.

Thankfully… “Thankfully, this trip to the Primal Secret Realm allowed me to discover another path.” “The Wu-Slayer Wings are extremely unique; they can actually control time and space!” “And I was extremely fortunate to stake everything and obtain the top-tier domain-type supreme treasure, the Flame Sand Cup.” “The miniature universe, the Wu-Slayer Wings, the Flame Sand Cup… a triple overlay allows me to completely suppress peak domain-type supreme treasures! Comparable to the pinnacle among peak domain-type treasures… perhaps only a Supreme Ultimate treasure could suppress it.

Under this move, the opponent’s strength would definitely be suppressed by one level, or even two.” Luo Feng mused internally. “Normally, just using the golden kingdom and the flame domain simultaneously barely equates to a peak domain-type supreme treasure.” “At critical moments, the miniature universe is also deployed.

The only weakness is that the miniature universe consumes God Power.” Luo Feng sighed faintly. In truth, the minimum amplitude of the ‘I Am the Universe’ move, when he was Immortal level, required only ordinary God Power; now, Luo Feng could indeed spend even a thousandth of his God Power each time, but the might would be weaker, and the reduction in power would be astonishingly significant.

“It’s a pity I only possess one ultimate secret technique, and it's an auxiliary one like the miniature universe.” Luo Feng thought, “If only I had an offensive ultimate secret technique.” Many beings, like the Star River Master and the Master of Ice Peak, typically possessed offensive ultimate secret techniques. “Before, I was at the bottom, relying solely on the Jie Armor to survive.” “Now, I can at least suppress the Master of Heavenly Wolf.” Luo Feng spotted the seated figure in the distance and immediately pushed his thoughts aside, walking over: “Teacher.” “Senior Brother,” the Master of Ice Peak called out as well.

“Sit.” Chaos City Master personally poured fruit wine for Luo Feng and the Master of Ice Peak. The two sat down separately.

“Seeing your expressions, I know the results were good,” Chaos City Master smiled… “You both worked hard this time. Luo Feng, why don’t you tell me the entire story, from beginning to end.” “Mm,” Luo Feng nodded.

The Master of Ice Peak was inherently more solitary. After the battle in the Yuan Ao Secret Realm, having gained many Thread Map fragments and consistently receiving Luo Feng’s assistance, he treated Luo Feng with such exception.

“Following the command of that Dual-Faced Ancestor God from the Ancestor God Cult…” Luo Feng began to recount in detail. Luo Feng was the one who knew this matter most clearly from the start; the other powerful beings joined in later.

The Master of Ice Peak listened attentively. In a short while, he finished.

“Two Thread Map fragments, five portions…” Chaos City Master looked towards the Master of Ice Peak. “Luo Feng is being modest,” the Master of Ice Peak immediately stated.

“Without his golden kingdom assisting in the contention with the Universe Masters from the other major factions, I would never have obtained this much. That golden kingdom possesses formidable might and can control time and space, which is far superior to a Universe Master’s control over a region of space-time… Combined with my Cold Mist Realm, it’s practically comparable to a peak domain-type supreme treasure.” “The golden kingdom?” Chaos City Master was astonished.

“What golden kingdom? Luo Feng, when did you obtain another treasure capable of controlling time and space?” “Hahaha… Senior Brother, you, as the teacher, don’t even know?” The Master of Ice Peak laughed, rarely getting to see his Senior Brother surprised.

“I genuinely do not know,” Chaos City Master looked towards Luo Feng. “It’s the Wu-Slayer Wings,” Luo Feng replied.

“The Wu-Slayer Wings?” Chaos City Master gasped. Luo Feng nodded: “Yes, Teacher bestowed the Wu-Slayer Wings upon your disciple back then.

Later, through a fortuitous encounter on the Primal Continent, your disciple obtained another pair of supreme treasure wings. To my surprise, that pair of supreme treasure wings fused with the Wu-Slayer Wings, transforming into the four-winged structure I now possess.” “Fused?

A fragmented supreme treasure!” Chaos City Master was shocked. “A fragmented supreme treasure!” The Master of Ice Peak was also startled.

“No wonder, no wonder. Back when I obtained the Wu-Slayer Wings in the sea of the universe, I discerned their material was special, but superficially, it looked just like a winged supreme treasure forged from some unique material,” Chaos City Master exclaimed in shock.

“It was actually a fragmented component. Generally, fragmented components suffer a significant drop in might… yet the Wu-Slayer Wings performed perfectly.

If this is just a component, that supreme treasure must be extraordinary.” Luo Feng nodded. “What is its might?” Chaos City Master pressed.

“The greatest might of the current Wu-Slayer Wings is the control over a region of time and space,” Luo Feng said. “It’s slightly stronger than a Universe Master’s control over time and space, though weaker than the control exercised by the strongest beings in the universe.

Judging by the pressure… it should count as a top-tier supreme treasure.” “Top-tier supreme treasure!” Chaos City Master marveled with praise. “The unique ability to control time and space makes it a very special supreme treasure, likely ranking among the pinnacle of top-tier treasures, even more precious than average top-tier domain-type supreme treasures.

By the way, is that four-winged supreme treasure in its complete state?” “I feel… no!” Luo Feng stated directly. His status was different now; even possessing a peak domain-type supreme treasure, there was no need to hide it.

Moreover, the Wu-Slayer Wings were originally gifted by his Teacher; if he obtained the third component in the future, Chaos City Master would understand anyway, so it was better not to conceal it. “Not complete?” Chaos City Master was surprised.

“Not complete?” The Master of Ice Peak was also astonished. “Haha…” Chaos City Master laughed.

“It must be the pinnacle among peak supreme treasures, and likely a very unique one.” Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask: “Could it possibly be a component of a Supreme Ultimate treasure?” “Haha, a component?” Chaos City Master couldn’t help but laugh heartily. “Luo Feng, every Supreme Ultimate treasure is perfect and indestructible.

Even in the three great forbidden zones of the sea of the universe, they remain whole and unbreakable. Thus, over endless eons, whenever a Supreme Ultimate treasure surfaces, it always surfaces whole.

Unless the owner of the Supreme Ultimate treasure voluntarily dismantles some of its components, and those parts must be easily separable, how could a Supreme Ultimate treasure component become separated? As for destruction?

No one can achieve it.” Luo Feng secretly nodded. For Supreme Ultimate treasures, like the Star Tower, only parts that are easily removed, such as the tower bead or the sealed stars, can be temporarily detached; destruction is impossible.

“Senior Brother,” the Master of Ice Peak interjected, “Your disciple not only rendered monumental service regarding the Thread Map fragments, but he also suppressed the Master of Heavenly Wolf, who possesses the Dream Ancestor Domain, one-on-one, seizing the Flame Sand Cup.” “The Flame Sand Cup?” Chaos City Master’s eyes lit up. “Pure luck,” Luo Feng said, but Chaos City Master scrutinized Luo Feng closely, making Luo Feng feel a bit confused himself.

“It wasn't luck,” Chaos City Master stared at Luo Feng and gently shook his head. “Luo Feng, I know you haven’t truly crossed into the Universe Master level yet.

Your divine power is slightly inferior to other Universe Masters, and two full steps below Star River Masters and those like me. Yet, you actually managed to suppress the Master of Heavenly Wolf, who possesses the Dream Ancestor Domain, and seize the Flame Sand Cup…” “Originally, to protect you, I intended for you to enter the sea of the universe only after you ascended to the Universe Master level.” “But now, it seems you can enter the sea of the universe,” Chaos City Master stated.

Luo Feng was stunned. The sea of the universe?

Enter the sea of the universe? “Senior Brother?” The Master of Ice Peak frowned.

Chaos City Master shook his head at the Master of Ice Peak, then looked at Luo Feng, sighing, “The sea of the universe is extremely dangerous, but some top-tier Universe Hegemons occasionally venture in to test themselves. Logically, your strength is sufficient for entry.

However, since you are due to become a pillar of our human race upon ascending to the Universe Master level, I intended to wait until then before you went. But seeing this… your strength is clearly far greater… you are entirely capable of entering the sea of the universe.” “In comparison, the Primal Universe is merely a cradle!

A cradle that nurtures us, peaceful and very low in danger.” “The sea of the universe… that is the true battlefield.” “A massive number of super-beings from before the Great Annihilation, including the strongest beings in the universe, reside within that sea of the universe,” Chaos City Master looked at Luo Feng. “There are far greater dangers there, especially in the deepest recesses of the three great forbidden zones, where even the strongest beings in the universe can perish.” Luo Feng held his breath.

“That is where the truly powerful gather; vast numbers of supreme treasures and precious artifacts were born in the sea of the universe,” Chaos City Master mused. “The Primal Continent opens once every endless era, and the most precious item revealed is only at the level of a peak domain-type supreme treasure.

But in the deepest parts of the three great forbidden zones… rumor has it, there are several Supreme Ultimate treasures! And the number of peak supreme treasures is frighteningly large…” “Of course, never mind the deepest parts; you absolutely cannot enter even some of the internal regions,” Chaos City Master warned.

“For now, you can only occasionally venture into the outer regions.” “There, you will gain true tempering.” “The experts from the Great Annihilation Era are all ancient compared to the experts in our Primal Universe! Our Primal Universe experts were all born after the Great Annihilation… Those ancient experts possess formidable strength, and clashing with them will stimulate many ideas within you, allowing your strength to improve much faster,” Chaos City Master praised.

Luo Feng nodded repeatedly. The Great Annihilation?

The birth, evolution, operation, decay, and destruction of the Primal Universe… this is a cycle. One Great Annihilation means the annihilation of everything within the Primal Universe!

When the Primal Universe is born anew, it is a new cycle. And those entities existing before the Great Annihilation naturally had ways to survive it and preserve their lives.

“Go back and prepare first,” Chaos City Master instructed. “And send me all the contents of the Thread Map fragments.

I will forward them to the Giant Axe Creator, for joint appraisal by the Giant Axe Creator and the Virtual Universe System. Then they will inform you… how many contribution points you two will receive.” Luo Feng nodded.

His contribution this time was immense, but Chaos City Master clearly lacked the direct authority for the appraisal. “Senior Brother, Luo Feng’s contribution this time is the greatest.

If he hadn’t given the advance notice, none of us would have known about the Yuan Ao Secret Realm,” the Master of Ice Peak emphasized. “Even my acquisition of five Thread Map fragments relied on Luo Feng’s help.” “If Senior Uncle didn’t have the inherent strength, my help would have been useless,” Luo Feng quickly countered.

“Rest assured.” “The race will not treat any major contributor unfairly,” Chaos City Master smiled. “Luo Feng, go back and prepare.

The sea of the universe… is unlike the cradle that is the Primal Universe.” “Yes,” Luo Feng acknowledged. “The sea of the universe!” Luo Feng muttered, his gaze growing sharper, filled with anticipation.

The vast sea of the universe, boundless and endless, whose limits no Universe Master has ever discovered. The sea of the universe is permeated with endless chaotic energy flows, within which the Primal Universe is the largest known celestial body!

The Primal Universe is massive to an unbelievable degree. Aside from the Primal Universe, there are other smaller universes.

All other smaller universes combined do not amount to one hundred-millionth of the volume of the Primal Universe! It is like an endless ocean compared to a single drop of water!

Billions of light-years away from the Primal Universe, amidst the boundless chaotic energy flows, there lies a small universe. Inside the small universe.

“Hahahaha… The trap is set! Those naive brats from the Primal Universe have not the slightest suspicion; instead, they are fighting wildly over treasures.

I had to abandon the soul servant, the Master of Yuan Ao, which I didn’t want to do, but alas, he couldn’t escape. Haolei also threw in a rare wonder, the Divine Wood.

Having sacrificed so much, it’s considered worth it.” A towering being, whose entire body seemed cast in steel, possessed eyes like two burning fireballs—fireballs perhaps more terrifying than billions of stars. The boundless might caused the surrounding earth to tremble.

“Don’t celebrate too soon,” a reptile being, whose body was composed of patches of brown rock resembling towering mountain ranges, emitted a low roar. “The game has just been set; the real harvest will take some time.” “Mm.” In mid-air, there was a massive spectral projection of a lightning giant.

In the chest of this projection was a sphere of lightning, like a star radiating endless electricity. The lightning giant thundered, “This Cosmic Era is our last chance.

If we fail to grasp even this final opportunity, the Three Immortals… will certainly perish! Without us, our races will also vanish forever.” Silence.

The three great existences remained silent for a long time. “The trap for this time has been laid, we are amply prepared, and the sacrifices were great; we must succeed in one stroke.

For eternity, for our races, we must succeed,” the lightning giant slowly said. “For eternity, for our races,” the brown rock reptile mountain range slowly echoed.

“For eternity, for our races,” the steel being also slowly affirmed. Their voices carried absolute conviction.
