"The Palace Master of Blood Cloud is actually a human, secretly protecting Luo Feng? You aren't kidding?" "Who knows, this rumor is spreading among some Universe Masters. Since it's being spread, it probably has some truth to it." "Haha... No wonder the Palace Master of Blood Cloud never moved against the Human Race. So that's the reason. Damn Human Race, they actually secretly arranged for that Palace Master of Blood Cloud to attack my Northern Frontier Alliance back then..."

The news swept through the expanse.

The Divine Eye Race and many other factions within the Original Universe had some level of intelligence sharing, and under the deliberate push of Lord An Yong, the news naturally began to spread. This caused immediate discontent among forces that had previously suffered at the hands of the Palace Master of Blood Cloud; some even directly confronted the Human Race experts, demanding answers.

"Is the Palace Master of Blood Cloud one of yours?" "Why did you allow the Palace Master of Blood Cloud to slaughter indiscriminately without cause? What is the Human Race up to?" "You deny it? You won't even admit it?" "Fine, fine, the Human Race is truly ruthless."

Those who went to question the Human Race received similar responses.

The Human Race naturally refused to acknowledge the Palace Master of Blood Cloud as one of their own and thus would not take responsibility for his actions. As for inquiries from other alien race experts about whether "your Human Race's Luo Feng is associated with that Palace Master of Blood Cloud," the Human Race was utterly unconcerned. They replied coolly: "We don't concern ourselves with who Luo Feng chooses as a friend. Our Human Race does not restrict the freedom of a Universe Master to socialize. If he has indeed befriended the Palace Master of Blood Cloud... our Human Race still wouldn't interfere. As for whether he is currently with the Palace Master of Blood Cloud, I apologize, but we have no need to inform you."

They stood their ground firmly!

The Human Race did not care about the other factions. However, within the Human Race, experts like Lord Duancheng and Lord Void Gold, while outwardly strong, were internally quite astonished. They all contacted Luo Feng via the Virtual Universe network.

Luo Feng's reply was simple: "I met the Palace Master of Blood Cloud in the waters of the Qingfeng Realm. We found each other quite congenial, so we decided to venture forth together."

In truth, all of this was Lord An Yong stirring the pot from behind the scenes. Having been beaten up by Luo Feng and the Palace Master of Blood Cloud previously, his plan had failed, further displeasing his own subordinate, Lord Jin Can. This naturally made Lord An Yong increasingly disgruntled. Since he couldn't deal with Luo Feng directly, he decided to cause trouble for him!

So, he began spreading the rumors.

"The Palace Master of Blood Cloud has many enemies." "His enemies will naturally become Luo Feng's enemies as well." Hmph, the more enemies he accumulates, the higher the probability that he will be attacked by others when he finds himself in a predicament. Just wait, just wait," Lord An Yong was patient. As a supreme being with an immeasurably long life, feuds between supreme experts of the same tier usually drag on for vast stretches of time, sometimes for eons before one side perishes.

"You dared to humiliate me, I will never let you go, never..." Lord An Yong was deeply vengeful. Once the Great Annihilation arrived, as an expert from the First Universe Era, he was destined to perish.

At the very least, he currently saw no hope of escaping the Great Annihilation. Therefore, his actions naturally became more frenzied.

Lord An Yong's machinations amounted to little more than giving Luo Feng a few more enemies, which Luo Feng genuinely didn't mind.

"Ordinary experts usually fear accumulating too many enemies and are reluctant to make new ones." "I possess the Star Tower, and it seems I have a chance to obtain another Ultimate Supreme Treasure. My destiny is set: I am bound for greatness. The sharpest blade is forged through grinding... A few more enemies will only serve to temper me further." Deep within the layers between the first and second light barriers, Luo Feng was situated there.

He feared being discovered by other powerful beings through widespread exploration, just as had happened before. Thus, he had brazenly passed through the first barrier; with the barrier in place, other experts couldn't probe his location.

"100 attempts!"

His Demon Killer Clone went into that mysterious Winged Space, committing suicide to breach it for the 100th time, only to perish the instant he materialized.

"Hmm, I have attempted to break through one hundred times in total, managing to observe my surroundings twice before perishing," Luo Feng nodded inwardly.

Two moments of observation in total.

In that Winged Space, besides the colossal, dazzling light wings that seemed infinite, there was nothing but the surrounding, ceaseless storm of blade-like energy, sweeping across all space.

"To increase my certainty, I'll bring the Star Tower along."

Luo Feng made his decision.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged on the cold, rocky ground between the first and second light barriers, closing his eyes to calm his mind. He needed to settle his surging excitement, as obtaining any Ultimate Supreme Treasure was no easy feat; even if it lay before him, making it recognize him as its master would be exceedingly difficult.

He could not afford even a shred of arrogance or carelessness.

After five minutes of quiet contemplation, he purged all impatience and excitement, becoming as still as a placid lake without a ripple.

"Let's go." With a thought from Luo Feng.

Swish.

The masked man in blood-red armor, the Palace Master of Blood Cloud, appeared beside him.

"Leave the Golden Horned Beast clone behind; I will enter," Luo Feng thought. The main reason for his Earthling body entering was that his Godslayer Wings were on him. This time, aiming to obtain the 'Light Wings'—which he suspected was an Ultimate Supreme Treasure—Luo Feng had a strong feeling that his Godslayer Wings might prove useful.

"Bigger! Bigger! Bigger!" Luo Feng held up a pagoda, the Star Tower.

Whoosh whoosh—the Star Tower expanded rapidly, in a moment becoming a tower ten thousand kilometers high. Luo Feng then took a step and entered the tower.

Inside the tower, the control core chamber.

The triangular metallic floor was entirely transparent in all surrounding directions.

Luo Feng stood there.

"Display everything outside," Luo Feng connected with the core consciousness of the Star Tower. The Star Tower itself possessed a rudimentary form of sentience, though its intelligence was low. Its computational speed might be terrifyingly high, but its emotional quotient resembled that of an infant.

The surrounding scenery shifted, manifesting everything.

It was somewhat like an 'External View Simulation,' allowing Luo Feng to clearly observe the surrounding rock formations, light barriers, and so on.

"Advance."

Luo Feng controlled the entire Star Tower and began to fly.

Flash!

"Second light barrier," Luo Feng murmured softly, continuing to control the Star Tower.

The Star Tower flew slowly, yet it continuously pierced through one light barrier after another, soon arriving before the nth barrier.

"Approaching the mysterious space," Luo Feng gritted his teeth. Bringing the Star Tower, Godslayer Wings, and the Tribulation Armor into this place meant he could not afford to lose.

"I must succeed."

Luo Feng gritted his teeth and controlled the Star Tower, which shot through the nth light barrier with a whoosh.

An infinitely vast, dark space.

A storm formed by dazzling blade-light swept over everything. The moment the Star Tower, barely over ten thousand kilometers tall, materialized, it was immediately struck by the blade storm. It was as if a small fishing boat caught in a monstrous tsunami was instantly tossed far away upon impact.

"Holy hell!" Luo Feng felt an incomparably terrifying impact sweep through the entire Star Tower.

Rumble rumble—

Massive blade-lights, hundreds of them at a time, struck the body of the Star Tower. The sheer power made the tower seem like a toy, violently tossed far away by the repeated impacts. In the face of these blows, it possessed no resistance whatsoever.

Impact! Impact!

Countless blade-lights surged and raged, slamming into the Star Tower again and again. The Star Tower tumbled and flew, looking like a soccer ball being kicked by countless giants.

"My god..." Luo Feng was inside the control core chamber, tossed about wildly, yet he felt nothing of the violent tossing inside.

Though he couldn't feel the chaotic tossing, because all directions were displayed, Luo Feng could easily see his Star Tower being pitifully thrown around under the onslaught of the blade storm, truly like a mere toy. It was clear that the Star Tower, under his control, could not withstand such an impact.

"Too strong." "Far too strong." "Those blade-lights are absurdly powerful," Luo Feng sensed it himself. Although he couldn't feel the physical sensation of being thrown, as the owner, his divine power energy permeated every part of the Star Tower.

Thus, he could clearly sense the impacts. The power of every single blade-light... far surpassed the strongest attack of a Star River Lord! Hundreds, even thousands of times stronger!

"Each blade-light is incredibly powerful—perhaps even stronger than the attacks of Universe Masters," Luo Feng mused internally. While he hadn't truly fought a Universe Master, even among Universe Masters, the power increase over the Star River Lord tier was limited.

Yet these blade-lights... Any single one made Luo Feng feel that the strongest attacks of a Star River Lord paled in comparison to these blade-lights.

"Too powerful." "If I had entered without the Star Tower, I would have been annihilated in an instant," Luo Feng thought. He had sustained minor injuries fighting a Star River Lord using the Star Tower as a long shuttle; if each blade-light was hundreds or thousands of times stronger, instantaneous annihilation would be the normal outcome.

Luo Feng's estimation was correct.

When Lord Jia Yu's supreme palace-type ultimate treasure was struck, even Universe Masters couldn't destroy it, yet here, it was instantly annihilated. Clearly, the power of the blade storm surpassed the attacks of Universe Masters.

With every blade-light possessing such devastating power, and a dense barrage hitting constantly, even with Luo Feng's powerful control, he couldn't dictate the Star Tower's movement. It could only be violently tossed about by the impacts.

"Hold!" "Steady!" "Control!" Luo Feng continuously issued commands.

Flash—

The Star Tower rapidly shrank, instantaneously reducing itself to the size of a speck of dust. While the Star Tower's main body was light-years high and could be much larger, shrinking to the size of a dust particle... this was the nature of an Ultimate Supreme Treasure. The Star Tower contained numerous internal spaces, which remained completely unaffected even as the structure itself contracted.

In fact, it wasn't just the Star Tower; ordinary profound treasures could achieve this—the Star Suppression Island could shrink to the size of a glass marble, though not to the scale of a dust particle.

With its volume drastically reduced, and given that the individual blade storms were immensely large, there was a small gap between each blade. This ensured that only one blade storm occasionally struck the dust-sized particle at a time; it was impossible for two storms to hit simultaneously.

"With only a single blade storm, based on the inherent power of the Star Tower I am channeling, I can at least ensure my flight isn't significantly disrupted," Luo Feng finally felt that the Star Tower was completely controllable and stable.

Before, it was purely flying like a toy, impossible to manage.

Now, with only occasional impacts, the Star Tower, being an Ultimate Supreme Treasure, couldn't have its flight path fundamentally altered by a single strike.

"Light Wings!"

Luo Feng, within the dust-particle-sized Star Tower, gazed out at the boundless storm outside and then at the dazzling, infinitely large light wings in the distance. He immediately controlled the Star Tower and flew towards them.
