The three claw marks on the exquisitely patterned, blood-stained white wings instantly caused Luo Feng to momentarily forget the endless blade storm that permeated the entire space; any single blade of light was more terrifying than the attack of a Universe Supreme Master! This white wing was undoubtedly a Ultimate Supreme Treasure.
By common sense, Ultimate Supreme Treasures do not sustain damage! Even in the Three Great Forbidden Zones, this holds true.
"Damaged? How could it be damaged?" Luo Feng murmured.
"Scratches? What, was it scratched by some incomparably terrifying being? Or perhaps damaged by some unique, perilous environment in the core area of the Three Great Forbidden Zones?" Numerous thoughts flashed through Luo Feng's mind; for scratches to appear on this Ultimate Supreme Treasure wing, and for it to be blood-stained, there must be a story behind it.
Although shocked, Luo Feng remained relatively calm, for upon setting foot in the Sea of Universe, after learning some information about it, he had come to understand a few things...
The Sea of Universe is too mysterious!
For experts from any single Cycle Era, they could live at most three Cycle Eras (excluding the Two Great Holy Lands).
To this day, no one has been able to survey the boundary of the Sea of Universe.
A vast number of small universes, including countless destroyed ones, were merely the size of the wreckage. Only the two Holy Land Universes were truly colossal! Considering that small universes were created by 'Universe Supreme Masters,' then the power of the two beings who left behind those two Holy Land Universes must have reached an astonishing level?
To this day, there is no related information.
"To be able to damage such a treasure wing, perhaps only those two beings who created the two Holy Land Universes—about whom there has never been any news—could have achieved this," Luo Feng speculated inwardly, though it was merely a guess, as the Sea of Universe held too many secrets, leaving him utterly bewildered.
...
Luo Feng gazed into the distance at the white wing, the dazzling white wing!
"Something must have happened to it, but I can't be bothered to investigate. What I need to do now is secure this Ultimate Supreme Treasure." Luo Feng knelt on one knee, hands bracing the ground, forcing himself to endure the continuous waves of oppressive will. That lofty, manic will roared: "Get away! You lowlife, get away from me, or I will kill you, kill you!"
"Advance."
Luo Feng gritted his teeth, controlling the Star Tower. This crushing will was terrifying, but it was significantly easier than the 'life-and-death tribulation' he endured to obtain the Star Tower back then. Fusing the tower beads back then was truly the height of agony. Although the current pain was extreme, it was still a considerable distance from that state.
45 kilometers... 40 kilometers...
This crushing will radiated outward in all directions; the closer he got to the white wing, the faster the will’s pressure surged geometrically.
36 kilometers... 34 kilometers... 32 kilometers... 30 kilometers... 28 kilometers...
"Ah!" Luo Feng trembled all over, his eyes bloodshot, his blood boiling, the space around him vibrating, the muscles, organs, bones within his divine body screaming desperately... This forced a faint sound from Luo Feng.
Pain!
Pain to the extreme!
"Endure! Not the limit yet!" Luo Feng suppressed it fiercely.
The distance closed: 22 kilometers... 20 kilometers... 18 kilometers... Luo Feng began to feel waves of dizziness. That terrifying will-crush brought him close to unconsciousness. The crushing will seemed to sigh in relief: "Lowlife, damnable lowlife, you think you can approach me? Hah! You can't get close, lowlife, leave quickly, and I'll spare your life."
"Stop!" Luo Feng gritted his teeth, but his jaw trembled.
He finally stopped at 16 kilometers away. Perhaps it was still short of his true life-or-death limit, but it was very close, and Luo Feng dared not press further.
The white wing still released endless blades, forming that dazzling, enormous light wing.
Outside the white wing, at 16 kilometers, the Star Tower hovered.
Inside the core control chamber.
Luo Feng sat cross-legged, eyes closed, quietly resisting the impact of the crushing will. As he gradually adapted, the sense of oppression gradually lessened. It took a full half a year before Luo Feng finally opened his eyes.
"Under this will-crush, my willpower has been tempered a bit; this is also a gain," Luo Feng smiled faintly, then looked toward the white wing outside.
"I must acquire this wing." Luo Feng’s thought moved, and a wisp of divine power flowed out of the Star Tower. The white wing released light in a planar fashion to form the 'light wing,' meaning there were no blade lights directly in front of or behind the wing; tens of thousands of kilometers were empty.
Although the blade storm emanating from the massive, brilliant light wing swept through space, the area immediately adjacent to the white wing—tens of thousands of kilometers to either side—was devoid of any blade light.
"Divine power approaches." Luo Feng guided a wisp of divine power toward the white wing.
"Get away!!!" The crushing will instantly assaulted the divine power.
Peng~~~
The divine power disintegrated. Every particle of divine power contained a life imprint and will, so it was easily shattered.
"That won't work. Lengthen the Star Tower!" Luo Feng commanded.
"Longer!"
"Longer!"
"Longer!"
The Star Tower rapidly elongated, its tip moving toward the white wing. However, the divine power channeled through the Star Tower was still subjected to the terrifying will-crush, meaning that while the tower body grew larger, the divine power could only permeate a portion of the Star Tower, unable to infuse the tip and the uppermost regions.
"Hook it!"
The Star Tower was a nine-story structure, and its edges could naturally hook onto the wing. As the Star Tower grew larger and longer, it gradually approached the white wing. Finally, it made contact. The edge of the tower was hundreds of kilometers wide, while the white wing was only about a hundred meters; logically, it should have been able to lift it easily.
"Peng~~~" The moment the tip of the Star Tower touched the white wing, it felt like an ant bumping into a colossal mountain.
It didn't move at all!
"It won't even budge when struck?" Luo Feng refused to believe it. He first commanded the Star Tower to retreat slightly, then suddenly accelerated.
"Smash!"
Boom~~~ The tip of the Star Tower violently collided with the white wing. The white wing continued to release endless blades coalesced into a 'dazzling light wing,' while the impact from the Star Tower made absolutely no discernible movement.
"Damn, this, this..." Luo Feng stared, dumbfounded. Back on the outer battlefields, the Star Tower was an ownerless treasure that couldn't move on its own. But because of its massive size, other experts couldn't move it either. "This white wing is so small, only a hundred meters high, yet my Star Tower, expanded to several thousand kilometers, can't even move it?"
Peng~~ Peng~~ Peng~~~
The Star Tower struck the bright white wing repeatedly at high speed, like a wooden pile hitting an ancient bell, even retreating and accelerating to dozens of times the speed of light to strike it.
"It truly doesn't move at all?" Luo Feng felt helpless. "Divine power can't get close, and I can't bring that white light wing over," Luo Feng fretted.
Clearly, an Ultimate Supreme Treasure was suspended in mid-air just 16 kilometers away, displaying its might with endless power. Yet, Luo Feng had absolutely no recourse.
...
Days passed one by one. Luo Feng brainstormed solutions daily, but he failed repeatedly. Despite the failures, he refused to give up; after all, this was an Ultimate Supreme Treasure before him. Luo Feng began to understand the helplessness of the four peak races who fought over the Star Tower in the past, ultimately failing to claim ownership.
Nine days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Lowlife, get out."
"You can never obtain it, leave, stop seeking death." The crushing will never ceased, and Luo Feng had grown accustomed to its impact.
Suddenly—
An invisible fluctuation instantly transmitted from the white light wing, traveling into the Star Tower, and into Luo Feng's mind.
"Human." An ancient voice sounded.
"Who are you?" Luo Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged, had his eyes light up. He clearly sensed that this will was different from the previous crushing will.
"I am the spirit of the Wing Treasure." The ancient voice replied.
Luo Feng was somewhat surprised, though not utterly shocked. Like the Ultimate Supreme Treasure Star Tower he possessed, this treasure had a spirit, but its intelligence was very low, much like a child easily led astray. This Wing Treasure spirit, however, seemed much more mature.
"I didn't expect that I would still have components in the outside world," the ancient voice said.
"You didn't expect..." Luo Feng was astonished.
"I once accompanied my master through a great war. My master perished, the wing was damaged, and the original Wing Spirit was destroyed. I am the newly born spirit. I only remember fragments of that ancient battle, only the enemy's blade; everything else is forgotten. Since my birth, I have been here," the ancient voice stated. "I thought I existed alone, but it seems there are two other pairs of wings. However, judging by the power, I should be the core, and those two pairs of wings are merely minor components."
Luo Feng was secretly alarmed.
A great war?
The wing was damaged, and the original Wing Spirit was destroyed?
"How do you know your master perished?" Luo Feng couldn't help but press.
"I am an ownerless object; my former master naturally fell," the Wing Spirit replied. "Human, I have been trapped here for endless ages, and I wish to leave. However... I cannot leave; I require your assistance."
"Help?" Luo Feng questioned. "How can I help you?"
"My wing originally bore four bloodstains." The Wing Spirit explained. "The bloodstains contain terrifying power and will, which I have been suppressing for endless ages, striving to eliminate them. After countless ages, I have only managed to expel one bloodstain; three remain... Only by completely suppressing and expelling them can my true strength be revealed."
"Do you see the scars on my wing?"
"I see them," Luo Feng affirmed.
"I am injured, making it difficult to expel the remaining three bloodstains. I need some precious treasure materials; I must devour these treasures to repair myself." The Wing Spirit continued, "Now I need your help. As long as you provide me with sufficient precious treasure materials to help me repair myself, I will willingly submit as your subordinate, though my conditions for submission are stringent."
"One, you must possess perfect genes."
"Two, your will must be strong enough. If you are an Immortal, your will must be comparable to a Universe Venerable. If you are a Universe Venerable, your will must be comparable to a Universe Master. If you are a Universe Master, your will must be comparable to a Universe Supreme Master. Regrettably, I perceive your will to be only at the Universe Master level; you need to improve."
Luo Feng listened to the Wing Spirit's voice, yet remained extremely calm.
Suddenly—
Luo Feng's heart jolted.
"No! It’s lying to me!" Luo Feng thought to himself.
P: Chapter One is complete! The update is a bit late, but two chapters of updates will not be missed. RF
