Upon the surface of a celestial mountain stone resided a minuscule being, dust-sized in comparison—Luo Feng, a human towering thousands of kilometers high.
“Qing Feng Realm!” Luo Feng stood atop the celestial mountain stone, gazing out at the endless void surrounding him. In the distance, the majestic, infinitely tall main peak and the colossal waterfall cascading downward… these features wantonly exuded boundless might. That might forced countless celestial mountain stones into orbit around it and compelled massive flows of chaotic energy to part ways.
“Starting today, I, Luo Feng, also begin my journey through the Sea of Universe,” a sharp glint flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes.
Swish!
He vanished instantly from the celestial mountain stone, appearing in the distant void. Then followed a continuous series of teleportations… directly rushing toward the infinite waters formed by the impact of that waterfall.
The outer region of Qing Feng Realm was divided into the “Air Domain” and the “Water Domain.” The Air Domain consisted of the void where massive celestial mountain stones drifted; its danger level was extremely low, with occasional hazards only found inside some of the stones themselves. Countless celestial mountain stones had, over long ages, mostly been explored.
Therefore, what the mighty referred to as the outer region of Qing Feng Realm more often meant the “Water Domain.”
The Water Domain, formed by the crashing waterfall, enveloped the entire main mountain. Within the waters were jagged rocks everywhere, danger lurking at every turn. In many places, even Universe Masters dared not use instant movement; they had to advance by flying with painstaking caution.
Instant movement was only possible in the edges of the Water Domain after checking with a “Domain Type Supreme Treasure” confirmed there was no danger.
“The most common and terrifying danger in the outer region’s Water Domain is…”
“…Water Flow Spirits.”
Luo Feng stood high above, looking down at the endless waters below.
The Water Domain was vast, spanning hundreds of millions of light-years in diameter.
It was truly larger than an entire human Universe Country! Larger even than the Ancestral God Secret Realm!
“Water Flow Spirits have no conscious intelligence.”
“They operate purely on instinct. Once they get close, they initiate an attack… A single Water Flow Spirit in this domain, bolstered by the waters, can rival a Universe Master,” Luo Feng marveled internally before cautiously plunging directly into the waters below, stirring up some splashes.
In the Sea of Universe, even an Immortal God entering here would be instantly annihilated.
Yet this endless water existed, which meant this “water” was extraordinarily unusual; every drop seemed like a star. The waves surged violently, their impact terrifyingly powerful. However, Universe Masters could withstand these currents with ease.
“The Water Domain is fraught with peril, yet abundant with treasures,” Luo Feng was well aware.
Treasures in the Water Domain existed in many forms.
To obtain a treasure required luck, strength, and courage.
As Luo Feng entered the Water Domain, deep within the vast, endless waters, about one hundred million light-years away from him.
A succession of mountain stones lay interwoven. The water pressure reached an utterly terrifying level, capable of turning even a Universe Venerable into dust instantly. Rumble! A celestial mountain stone slowly rose from the depths, causing the surrounding stones to vibrate. The celestial mountain stone ascended slowly, continuing its rise…
The entire process lasted for a moment before stopping. That celestial mountain stone had emerged to a height of nearly one million kilometers.
Everything returned to calm.
Luo Feng, one hundred million light-years away, noticed nothing and continued to explore the Water Domain cautiously, staying only in the most shallow areas.
About three million light-years from Luo Feng.
The Flint Master, whose colossal divine body occasionally held rings of flame, flew slowly through the waters. He had naturally separated from the Lang An Master, as venturing separately in the Sea of Universe increased the probability of encountering treasures.
“Hmph.”
“The humans must have sent Luo Feng into the Sea of Universe… likely to temper and cultivate him properly. Those of us who are non-human races in the Hong Alliance don't get such opportunities,” the Flint Master grumbled inwardly. “He gained several supreme treasures even when he was a Sector Lord. I hear he had numerous supreme treasures even at the Lord level.”
“Just watch,” he mused.
“Watch how much trouble this kid stirs up. He’ll likely be crying for rescue from other factions soon enough.” The Flint Master was utterly dismissive.
This was not unprecedented. Back when the Primitive Universe’s Demon Race was cultivating and tempering the Great Demon Lordess Chang Jiu, it was handled this way. Chang Jiu was an exceptionally heaven-defying genius of the Demon Race in those days, possessing immense potential. She was tempered early in the Sea of Universe and gifted powerful supreme treasures for protection. If she encountered unmanageable danger, other Demon Race powerhouses would immediately rush to her aid.
After enduring long ages of tempering, Chang Jiu indeed became one of the most terrifying and top-tier Universe Masters in the Demon Race! Her status was second only to Dream Demon Ancestor and Tremor Demon Ancestor.
Clearly, Dream Demon Ancestor and Tremor Demon Ancestor had sharp eyes that recognized Chang Jiu’s potential.
But this did not negate the fact that Lordess Chang Jiu had cried for rescue several times, causing the entire Demon Race Alliance to scramble in a panic to save her.
“Luo Feng’s potential is indeed high.”
“He is truly a heaven-defying, peerless genius… but right now, he is clearly at the bottom. Facing some old fogeys who are Universe Masters… he is likely to suffer a major loss and call for help,” the Flint Master shook his head privately. “Let him cause trouble. Just trouble. I wonder if he can ever reach the level of that Demon Race’s Lordess Chang Jiu.”
Despite his annoyance.
The Flint Master understood that if Luo Feng called for aid, he would have to rush over immediately if he was nearby.
“If he calls for help and I save him… I must lecture him soundly again,” the Flint Master mused. He understood this would displease Luo Feng, but after cultivating for endless ages to become a Universe Master, did one still need rules and constraints? Laugh if you want to laugh, scold if you want to scold; he was going to be stubbornly himself, so what?
Scold him if he didn’t like the sight of him.
He just didn’t like the sight of Luo Feng, so what of it?
The Flint Master carefully avoided several “Water Flow Spirits” in the deeper parts of the Water Domain. The Water Flow Spirits were entirely white, resembling streams of white energy, sometimes taking human form, sometimes beast form, bizarre shapes drifting through the water.
This area was already considered deep and extremely dangerous.
Flying speed had to be slow; let alone instant movement—they didn't dare use it at all! After all, once entangled by a Water Flow Spirit, the consequences would be dire.
“Hm?” The Flint Master suddenly gasped in alarm. “Space Lock?”
The spatial fluctuations within the surrounding water instantly stagnated. This made the Flint Master realize something was wrong. He looked around carefully and saw a point of light in the distance.
“Hahaha, Flint Master of the Primitive Universe Human Alliance?” the point of light laughed heartily, the sound transmitting through the water, instantly reaching the Flint Master.
That point of light…
Was a humanoid creature. His entire body emanated a hazy white light, and behind his head were circles of white light. Within the white light, the faint image of a massive single eye could be discerned.
“God Eye Race!” The Flint Master turned and fled like a streak of light.
The God Eye Race was one of the peak races of the First Universe Era and could even be called the strongest peak race of that era. Their race boasted a full seven Universe Supreme Beings! This was an extremely mysterious and terrifying race, likely resulting from some special anomaly during the evolution of the Primitive Universe in that previous cosmic cycle, leading to such a heaven-defying lineage.
“Can you escape?” the God Eye Race expert called out.
Rumble!
Endless specks of sand materialized from nothingness. Countless grains of sand instantly filled the area within a three-light-year radius. It should be noted that the space around was already locked; even without the lock, no one would dare teleport randomly here, as this was a dangerous, deep region. A radius of three light-years meant the Flint Master could not fly out in a short time.
“Ice Sand Sea!” The Flint Master ground his teeth, turning back to glare at the humanoid figure enveloped in white light, spitting fire from his nostrils. “Lord An Yong, I haven’t obtained any incredible supreme treasures. I see you and immediately flee. Is it necessary to pursue so relentlessly?”
“Life is finite.”
The humanoid figure shrouded in white light spoke slowly. “Eternity is hard to find. Finding the path to eternity through endless slaughter is my only way now. Flint Master, accept your death.”
Whoosh!
Lord An Yong, cloaked in white light and possessing the white halo and single-eye phantom behind his head, bore down upon the Flint Master at extreme speed.
“Insolent!”
The Flint Master roared. “You want to kill me? Dream on!”
Simultaneously, he continued to flee desperately, trying to buy time… At that same moment, his avatar in the Primitive Universe was rapidly issuing a distress signal in the Virtual Universe.
“I was just talking about Luo Feng calling for help, and now I’m the one needing rescue,” he thought bitterly.
“This madman from the First Universe Era is truly insane. I’m unlucky to run into Lord An Yong,” the Flint Master was filled with anxiety, knowing he was genuinely facing mortal danger. “I must have Chaos City Master or Peng Gong Master arrive; only then do I have a hope of survival.”
The Flint Master understood that only the few he had met at the gathering spot could arrive quickly.
Experts like Lord You Hou, Lord Lang An, and Lord An Jue weren’t strong enough. Luo Feng was out of the question. Only the arrival of Chaos City Master or Peng Gong Master could save him.
However, Chaos City Master and Peng Gong Master were immensely powerful and likely heading toward the “Inner Domain of Qing Feng Realm.” If they were in the Inner Domain, it would take a long time for them to reach him.
Once the distress call was sent, the Virtual Universe System immediately forwarded it to the Human Alliance Universe Masters currently in the Sea of Universe.
“Flint is calling for help? God Eye Race Lord An Yong from the First Universe Era is chasing him?”
Deep within the belly of the main mountain of Qing Feng Realm.
Rumble! Flames surged to the sky—each blast powerful enough to fell a Universe Master. A savage giant dodged the erratic fire eruptions with every step he took, his movements appearing as illusions.
“I am deep within. It will take me a long time to get back; it’s too late,” he muttered.
“Flint, it’s up to your luck then.”
“Lord An Yong?” The Lang An Master, currently the closest to the Flint Master, was in the Water Domain about a million light-years away. He blinked his massive head.
“Big trouble. If I go, it probably won’t help much, but I’ll try my best to see if I can lend a hand.”
Whoosh!
The Lang An Master rapidly shot toward the sky, instantly teleporting outside the Water Domain, and then began a series of rapid teleportations through the void toward the destination.
Luo Feng also received that distress call.
“Hm?”
“A call for help? Flint Master is asking for aid? According to the reference coordinates marked, he seems to be only a few tens of millions of light-years away from me.” Although Luo Feng was slightly displeased with Flint Master, they were still part of the Human Alliance faction. “Lord An Yong… that’s trouble.”
Swish!
Luo Feng instantly teleported out of the Water Domain and then began a series of rapid teleports, hurrying toward the destination.
