Shards of rock exploded outward, warping the surrounding space, as the golden hoof claw tore through the debris and reached Luo Feng's face.

"Get lost!" Luo Feng shifted slightly.

Swish!

A blinding flash of silver blade light erupted instantly. The silver four-winged appendages on Luo Feng's back suddenly expanded, their edges impossibly sharp… He directly unleashed the saber technique Golden Light, cleaving down onto the scales of the golden hoof claw, engaging the appendage head-on! Crack! The silver brilliance collided with the scales!

With a deafening roar, the Golden Horned Lizard staggered slightly to the side, then was further buffeted by the flying debris and forced backward, while Luo Feng was also jarred into retreat.

"Powerful wings, formidable even when used as blades!" the Golden Horned Lizard roared before diving in again.

Luo Feng merely gave a cold smile.

A joke.

Only after his Shi Wu Wings manifested a spirit and brought back fragmented memories of the past did Luo Feng learn the true nature of the Shi Wu Wings. While the Shi Wu Wings contained numerous functions, their primary purpose was combat, functioning precisely like a single great battle saber… The other five pairs of wings served as the blade's spine and auxiliary parts, while the uppermost pair constituted the 'edge' or 'blade.'

That damaged white wing was the very edge!

Of course, one was the edge, the other the spine.

It wasn't to say the other wings of the Shi Wu Wings were inferior; in terms of resilience, they actually held the advantage. The white wing excelled in 'sharpness,' which is why after that battle, the other wings remained undamaged, only the white wing sustained harm.

The white wing's core attribute was 'sharpness.' Although the edge of the Shi Wu Wings was already keen, it could not compare to the white wing.

After energy conversion, the 'Winged Radiance' released through the white wing possessed terrifying might. If the white wing itself was used for a direct cleave, its power was even greater. The Shi Wu Wings, while not quite as formidable, were still part of a primordial wing ultimate treasure. After absorbing Primal Energy to repair itself, it had already reached the level of an Extraordinary Treasure. Merely using it as a battle saber was enough to rival a peak ultimate treasure saber!

"Clang!" Luo Feng instantly drew the battle saber strapped to his back.

"Yintuo, you think I fear you? So you claim to be immortal? But crushing you is still well within my grasp." Wielding the Jue Ke Battle Saber, Luo Feng instantly transformed into a streak of light, flying through the countless shards of exploding rock. With a powerful thrust of his feet against a massive rock fragment tens of thousands of kilometers wide tumbling through the air—

Whoosh!

He shot directly toward the Golden Horned Lizard.

"Truly arrogant." The Golden Horned Lizard charged forward in anger, lowering its head, its single horn aimed directly at Luo Feng. But what greeted it first was an endless, searing blaze…"

The Sea of Flame, the Golden Kingdom, layered one upon the other!

Whoosh!

A golden saber light flared, a silver gleam ignited!

Luo Feng’s Jue Ke Battle Saber and the edge of his left rear wing simultaneously executed the secret technique Golden Light, amplified by the dual blessing of the Sea of Flame and the Golden Kingdom. They struck the hard skull of the Golden Horned Lizard almost simultaneously, one slightly ahead of the other. Where they collided, faintly fractured black space appeared. Immediately afterward, both the Golden Horned Lizard and Luo Feng were violently thrown back, even tumbling chaotically after being struck by debris flying at hundreds of times the speed of light.

"You need the dual blessing of spacetime and domain to fight me to a draw. Clearly, your Divine Body Secret Art is weak. Here in the God-Annihilation Current, I doubt you can survive!" the Golden Horned Lizard roared.

"Hmph."

Luo Feng glanced at the Golden Horned Lizard. He hadn't deployed his true trump card in this fight yet. The power output of the 'Golden Kingdom' he controlled had remained at the level he possessed when he first entered the Sea of Universes; he hadn't truly unleashed its most earth-shattering limit.

The Golden Kingdom plus the Sea of Flame could already suppress the Lord of Anyong when he used his top-tier domain ultimate treasure. Under normal circumstances, he maintained this level.

As for the limit?

If the Golden Kingdom exploded to its maximum potential, it would reach the level of an Extraordinary Treasure. The Golden Kingdom alone, even with Luo Feng's relatively lower divine power, could match a Universe Master using a peak domain ultimate treasure—not those half-baked ones like Lord of Sirius, but absolute top-tier beings like City Lord of Chaos or Lord of Star River.

"If I unleash the limit power of the Golden Kingdom, and the might of the Shi Wu Wings, that might spread even further, attracting the covetous gaze of more powerful beings," Luo Feng mused internally. "Without absolute necessity, I should hold back this ultimate move."

Luo Feng wasn't afraid of exposure.

What if it was exposed? Who could possibly snatch it away?

It was just that… Yintuo wasn't worthy of forcing him to use his ultimate move.

"Yintuo, this is all you have. Having fought you, it's enough. I can't be bothered to waste any more time with you." Luo Feng hovered in mid-air at a distance, his gaze sharp. Instantly, a massive flame saber materialized within the endless Sea of Flame. The flame saber unleashed a saber technique, cleaving toward the Golden Horned Lizard.

Luo Feng himself turned and immediately flew away at high speed, merely dedicating a portion of his consciousness to controlling the flame saber to battle the Golden Horned Lizard.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The flame saber was comparable to a top-tier ultimate treasure, enhanced by the Golden Kingdom, making it slightly weaker in the ensuing melee—only at the level of a third-tier Universe Master. It couldn't defeat the Golden Horned Lizard, but it could at least impede it.

"Human, don't flee." The Golden Horned Lizard roared. Whoosh!

Luo Feng continued his ultra-high-speed flight, while the Golden Horned Lizard behind him engaged the flame saber repeatedly, yet relentlessly pursued him with tenacity.

"Knowing he can't catch me, that he can't do anything to me, and he's still chasing?" Luo Feng frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the distant front. The power of the magma vortex ahead was growing more terrifying; the black, rocky earth cracked, and numerous colossal stones spun rapidly in the air. Luo Feng watched, then smiled. "This old fellow is planning to bully me, banking on my ignorance of the magma vortex's true secret, hoping to make me fall for it?"

Ignoring the repeated strikes from the flame saber, the Golden Horned Lizard persistently gave chase.

"Yintuo, do you perhaps think… I don't know about the danger in the central region of that magma vortex—the Annihilation Whirlwind?" Luo Feng's voice sounded directly around the Golden Horned Lizard.

The Golden Horned Lizard jolted, freezing for a long moment.

"How does he know? He, he, impossible! That Annihilation Whirlwind is formless and colorless, located in the very core of the magma vortex, completely undetectable. Most strong beings who discover the danger in the central area of a magma vortex will evade it, not foolishly charge into the core. Even our Ancestral God Sect only learned this secret in this current reincarnation cycle," Yintuo was deeply shocked. "My plan was, when he passed the central area, I would immediately use a secret technique to activate the core Annihilation Whirlwind and engulf him! Hmph, due to my powerful Divine Body and unique innate talent, I can barely escape the Annihilation Whirlwind. Most Universe Masters, once caught in that formless whirlwind, would be instantly shredded and annihilated, with no escape. But he knows about it, so he naturally won't fall for it. Moreover, since Luo Feng controls the domain, he won't give me a chance to use a secret technique to trigger the Annihilation Whirlwind."

"How does he know?"

"This, this…" Even among the forces from the second reincarnation era, very few knew of this. And the explorations conducted by the forces of the Original Universe into the Three Great Deadly Zones were still limited. How could he know this secret…" Yintuo was furious and indignant.

One must understand that it is very difficult to kill an opponent in a battle between Universe Masters.

However, within the Three Great Deadly Zones, if one side has superior survival capabilities and greater knowledge of the dangers within those zones, they can entirely utilize the zone's terrifying dangers to 'destroy' the other party.

"Hahahaha…"

Luo Feng burst out laughing and transformed into a streak of light, flying directly toward the distance.

Just then, the central region of the black rocky earth, disturbed by the magma vortex, began to shatter and fly apart, revealing a deep blue spaceship previously concealed beneath layers of black rock. This deep blue spaceship bore numerous signs of heavy damage, and now, under the fierce winds, it slowly began to lift off the ground, emerging gradually from the endless black earth.

"Treasure!" The Golden Horned Lizard charged toward it instantly.

"It's a treasure!" Luo Feng was momentarily stunned, then also rushed over. The Three Great Deadly Zones were precisely where numerous treasures emerged; even Founder Giant Axe obtained a supreme ultimate treasure in the inner domain of the Peak Abyss Realm. However, this was the first treasure he had seen in the many years since entering the Universe Ark.

"Although it's a damaged treasure, its aura is powerful, and the environment of the God-Annihilation Current is harsh. An almost-destroyed treasure would have shattered long ago. Judging by the aura, it's likely a top-tier palace-type ultimate treasure," Luo Feng quickly assessed. "A little damage isn't critical; Teacher Zuo Shan Ke can probably repair it easily. Even if it can be used for the future white wing to devour and repair itself, that would be beneficial."

Ordinary or high-grade ultimate treasures simply could not survive in the environment of the God-Annihilation Current.

"It's mine."

Yintuo roared.

"Haha, you say it's yours just because you say so?" Luo Feng sneered. He was the closest to the core area, and he controlled the domain.

Clang! The massive deep blue spaceship treasure, having just emerged from the black earth, was suddenly bound by a hazy golden light and flew towards Luo Feng. Immediately after, a trace of divine power rapidly penetrated the deep blue vessel.

"Bastard." Yintuo gritted his teeth upon seeing this.

He hated this.

Why had he lingered in the God-Annihilation Chasm for so long? Because the God-Annihilation Current was one of the most dangerous places in the inner domain of the Universe Ark. The more dangerous the location, the more powerful the treasure that appeared! Since he lacked the strength to enter the core area, he stayed in the God-Annihilation Current… just waiting for an opportunity. He knew that when the magma vortex churned the God-Annihilation Current into chaos, treasures would emerge, but he never expected it to be such a coincidence that one appeared now.

"Hahaha." A top-tier flying palace ultimate treasure! Although damaged, the harvest was immense. Yintuo truly was my lucky star," Luo Feng manipulated the deep blue spaceship as it flew towards him.

On the opposite side of the magma vortex, from a deep cavern in the ground, two figures suddenly shot out, transforming into two streaks of light rapidly heading toward the vortex—they were two members of the God-Eye Race, a male and a female.

"The appearance of the magma vortex has shattered countless rocks; it's highly likely a treasure has emerged. Look, that deep blue ship is a treasure."

"Lord Wuhun, look, there's a Golden Horned Lizard… oh, that should be Yintuo. To Lord Wuhun, one Yintuo isn't much."

"Huh? There’s another one?"

The two God-Eye Race experts, who had also been stationed in the God-Annihilation Chasm for a long time and sensed the magma vortex's disturbance, quickly spotted the life form closest to the deep blue treasure ship—a human.

"Golden Light? Silver Wing? It's that Silver Wing Lord!"
