Lo Feng was inwardly alarmed. If not for the birth of the spirit of the Shi Wu Wings, even if he had known the other party's scheme... it would have been difficult to discern every trap.

"Human."

A fluctuation came through. "Take that core component that seized me."

Whoosh~

A point of light, being violently tossed about by a storm of endless blade radiance in the distance, was suddenly drawn in and sped rapidly toward the white wing. Because the Star Tower was extremely close to the white wing—less than a kilometer away—the light spot drew nearer and nearer to the Star Tower as it approached the white wing.

"Seize it, and I will tell you exactly how to become its master and how to infuse divine power," the fluctuation transmitted. "I have seized it." Lo Feng, inside the Star Tower, extended his divine power beyond the tower, instantly grasping the light spot. The spot was a strange white bead. "My divine power has seized it, but I cannot leave a life imprint at all."

"Don't rush,"

The white wing fluctuated. "The more powerful the ultimate treasure, the more complex the master-recognition process. First, grasp this core component of mine, and then integrate it into your divine body..." Hearing this made Lo Feng secretly sneer. If the core component was outside, fine, but once it entered the Star Tower and reached him, it would likely unleash the light contained within it instantly.

"Integrate it into my body? I dare not do that without being certain. Therefore, I have decided to let my soul slave try first," Lo Feng stated.

"A soul slave? Your soul slave cannot succeed," the spirit of the white wing countered. "Master-recognition requires the life gene level to be perfect, and the will requirement is very high—an Immortal needs the will of a Universe Master, and a Universe Master needs the will of a Universe Supreme Master. Do you possess such a soul slave?"

"No, but I can at least attempt it. At worst, the master-recognition will fail," Lo Feng replied. "Then you try," said the spirit of the white wing.

It waited silently...

Waiting for Lo Feng to bring that component into the Star Tower. As long as the bead approached Lo Feng without the Star Tower obstructing it, it could kill Lo Feng.

The Star Tower first retreated, pulling back to a distance of one hundred thousand kilometers from the white wing.

Swish!

A black moon shadow flew out from the Star Tower, appearing in the external mid-air. It was the Demon Slaughter Race avatar. "Receiving the master's command, I come to attempt master-recognition." The Demon Slaughter Race avatar flew toward the bead.

It should be noted that the space spanning tens of thousands of kilometers around the white wing was utterly silent, devoid of any blade storm, allowing the Demon Slaughter Race avatar to exist safely within that space.

"You... you are having your soul slave attempt master-recognition externally?" The spirit of the white wing was greatly shocked. If this was outside, it had no way to attack Lo Feng; at most, it could kill a soul slave.

"What, is that not allowed?" Lo Feng countered.

The Demon Slaughter Race avatar already tried to recognize it as master, and clearly, there was no result—not even a flicker of indication.

"Only if the conditions are met will it elicit a reaction from the core component. Your slave cannot possibly succeed, nor can it arouse any reaction whatsoever," the spirit of the white wing stated.

"I just had my soul slave test it, yet you only say this after discovering my soul slave appeared," Lo Feng pressed. "Moreover, for a powerful ultimate treasure, even if the master-recognition conditions are difficult, other powerful beings could still attempt it; at worst, it fails. It shouldn't result in absolutely no reaction. Yet, when my soul slave attempted recognition, there wasn't even a slight reaction. I dare say... you are fake. Hand over the real core."

"A supreme ultimate treasure is different."

"But I say you are deceiving me," Lo Feng insisted. "Hand over the real core."

That fluctuation fell silent for a moment.

"You can never leave this place, you will eventually need a master. Hand over your true core," Lo Feng said. "Once my slave gains experience, I will naturally recognize it as master."

"Damn it!"

"Damn, damn human!" Suddenly, a furious roar transmitted. "Tell me, how did you discover it? How did you find out?"

"Finally dropping the pretense?" Lo Feng sneered.

"You were too clever," Lo Feng scoffed. "The first time we communicated, you began plotting right away. First, you used your fragmented memories as an excuse, saying your master fought, and you were damaged. Initially, you shocked me, yes, I was very shocked—that such an ultimate treasure could actually be damaged!"

"Then you told me the master-recognition conditions were extremely harsh: perfect genes, coupled with high will requirements."

"Finally, you demanded that I offer an apex ultimate treasure."

"Hahaha..."

"It was one trap after another, likely intended to lower my guard. After all, every time you seemed to impose difficult conditions on me, it actually made me more excited once I overcame them, making me less suspicious." Lo Feng chuckled. "Most powerful beings are somewhat perverse; if treasures come too easily, they become suspicious. But if you set up layer upon layer of demanding conditions, once they break through each one, they become even more ecstatic and less prone to doubt."

"How could I have suspected you?" the spirit of the white wing demanded.

"You said you needed my help, that you needed me to provide materials to repair yourself, expressing an urgent need for my assistance."

"Then you claimed the master-recognition conditions were incredibly strict, even saying my will, being that of a Universe Supreme Master, needed improvement," Lo Feng sneered. "These two points are fundamentally contradictory."

"Contradictory? Where is the contradiction?"

The spirit of the white wing still failed to see the issue.

"Assume I really am a Universe Supreme Master," Lo Feng pressed. "With my level of divine power, that implies a life gene level of one hundred times that of a normal life form."

"One hundred times life gene, yet you demand perfect life genes. Setting aside the will, this point alone is an insurmountable hurdle. With such a massive gap, how could I possibly achieve perfect genes?" Lo Feng scoffed. "Such despairing odds. Assuming a genuine Universe Supreme Master was in this situation, they would likely become thoroughly discouraged and lose the motivation to help you further."

"Yet you needed my help, pretending to treat me as a Universe Supreme Master."

"But the conditions proposed would make a true Universe Supreme Master feel utterly disheartened and unable to offer much more help to you. Is that not contradictory?"

Lo Feng sneered.

"Furthermore, you know I possess a supreme ultimate treasure. If I have the fortune to obtain a supreme ultimate treasure, how could I possibly be a mere Universe Supreme Master with only a hundredfold life gene multiplier?"

"Hahaha..."

"There are contradictions everywhere."

"Every move was calculated from your perspective to entrap me. If I were immersed in excitement, thrilled to meet the conditions, I naturally wouldn't notice. But you forgot... if viewed from your angle, your entire narrative has serious flaws. You modeled yourself as an idiot," Lo Feng concluded with a cold laugh.

The white wing's scheme was complex, and if one were deeply entangled within it, detecting the flaw would be difficult. However, because Lo Feng had been vigilant from the beginning, he managed to spot this tiny crack.

"Your setup was too intricate; that's what allowed me to see the flaw."

"Stop struggling and hand over the core," Lo Feng commanded. "You must eventually have a master."

"You... want to be my master? You are far too low. To be my master, one must be among the absolute pinnacle existences in this Sea of Universe. For you to be my master, it would take endless eons to unlock even a fraction of my power. That would be a disgrace to me, and a disgrace to my former master," the roar transmitted through the fluctuation.

"Truly disappointing,"

Lo Feng shook his head and sighed.

"Suck it up," Lo Feng ordered.

"Yes, Master," Shi Wu had been restraining itself for a long time.

Rumble~

Four channels on the shrunken Star Tower suddenly extended four wings that began to expand wildly. The silver wings, initially smaller than a dust mote, rapidly grew larger and larger, surpassing the size of a star, instantly spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers. It was as if the Star Tower had sprouted four massive wings.

"Light, the light of the Source."

Shi Wu was ecstatic.

Boom~

In the mysterious space, the colossal, dazzling light wings, more radiant than billions of stars, suddenly trembled. The countless blade radiances began to vibrate, as if an infinitely towering skyscraper was shaking, on the verge of collapse.

"No!" the white wing exclaimed in shock. "Spirit, your wings have also gained a spirit? This, how is this possible?"

The diffused blade radiances around the edges of the massive light wing suddenly changed direction, as if blown by the wind, flying directly toward the four silver wings. Countless beams of blade light rushed toward them like moths to a flame, while the entire massive light wing trembled, as if the endless, dense blades were also about to move.

"No!"

"No!" The spirit of the white wing struggled to control them while simultaneously transmitting a wave toward the Shi Wu Wings. "Stop!"

"Why should I stop?" Shi Wu was rather straightforward.

"This energy is mine, mine!" the spirit of the white wing cried out.

"We are one. What is yours is mine. Although you are severely damaged, I have also suffered damage, and I need energy to recover. Don't worry, I won't take it all; I only need enough to fully recover the damage from that battle long ago." Shi Wu continued to draw in the blade radiances.

One struggled to control; the other desperately absorbed.

However, the boundless blade radiances were simply too numerous. The spirit of the white wing could not control all of them.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

Endless blade radiances crazily streamed toward the enormous four silver wings. Upon contact, they were entirely swallowed, like water hitting a parched riverbed. The four massive wings began to flow with threads of light, their auras subtly changing. This was just the surface; the interior was undergoing a violent transformation.

Lo Feng, as the master of the Shi Wu Wings, naturally sensed these changes.

The Shi Wu Wings were highly intricate, and expanding to sizes spanning several light-years was normal. Inside the Shi Wu Wings, countless minute components were rapidly evolving after absorbing the blade radiance, much like a rotting piece of wood suddenly becoming brand new.

"Ah, this feels so good!" Shi Wu sounded quite excited. "Master, my fragmented memories have become a little clearer."

"Oh?" Lo Feng was curious.

"I vaguely recall that battle being terrifying. That battle directly caused my ultimate treasure wings to completely decompose. The white wing was the uppermost pair of wings, which was directly wounded. Our other five pairs of wings were also internally damaged by the shockwave. Furthermore, endless eons and some terrible environmental tortures have left their surfaces intact, but the interiors are heavily compromised. My wing treasure should be able to recover on its own, but it requires energy."

"Master, your divine power intensity is insufficient for recovery. The light of the Source is transformed divine power from the former master, which can perfectly heal internal damage. Only damage like the flaw seen by the white wing requires devouring external materials to recover."

The four wings of the Shi Wu Wings continued to expand relentlessly.

Hundreds of millions of kilometers, billions of kilometers, tens of billions of kilometers...

One light-year, two light-years...

It was expanding wildly, indulging itself. The larger the four wings became, the more blade radiances they devoured. Countless blade radiances rushed into the silver wings like moths to a flame, gone forever. The aura emanating from the Shi Wu Wings also grew continuously stronger.

"No, no, it's mine, it's mine," the white wing roared in absolute fury. "Stop!"
