The Abyss, also known as the Desperate Road by the Universe Masters, signifies a true dead end—once entered, there is absolutely no chance of survival. The Sea of Magma, however, still allows one to fight, to strive for that sliver of life!
"Hahahaha, hahahaha..."
The Five Beast Gods and the Blood-Colored Pyramid were instantly sucked into that dim, bottomless Abyss.
The Lord of Five Wastes, who had initially struggled to break free, suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, a sound so sinister: "Good, good, good. I truly admire you. I never imagined you have lived for such a short time! And you possess incredibly precious supreme treasures—that Silver Wing supreme treasure and your Palace supreme treasure. After escaping the Sea of Magma, you actually chose to charge into the Abyss yourself? You are truly willing to part with everything! You are unlike me; I have lived through nearly three reincarnation eras, nearing my limit. The Limit—it cannot be evaded. At least for us, there is no chance. Only the strongest beings in the universe can gamble, fight for that last trace of life."
"That's why every Universe Master from the First Reincarnation Era went mad. It was because they faced the Limit with no power to resist at all. All hope was placed on the strongest beings of their race being able to achieve transcendence from reincarnation," the Lord of Five Wastes continued. "The feeling of powerlessness, the impending Limit, it drove us insane."
"I dared to gamble with you."
"I didn't expect you would dare gamble with me too, dragging me, a Universe Master nearing my Limit, into the Abyss!" The Lord of Five Wastes laughed heartily. "We are undoubtedly doomed this time. But we both have clones. We have merely lost our primary battle avatars. Perhaps we will have chances to fight in the future, but regardless of any life-and-death struggle to come, after this, Luo Feng, even if I want to kill you or hate you again, I will respect you. You are truly my peer! I will never look down upon you again..."
A voice echoed from within the Blood-Colored Pyramid.
"It is an honor. You always looked down on me before, Lord of Five Wastes. Now, you finally see me as a true opponent," Luo Feng sounded remarkably relaxed.
"Haha, even if I lose the Extinction God Armor and the like, my other clones possess many peak supreme treasures. My strength... I am still a fifth-tier Universe Master, just slightly weaker," the Lord of Five Wastes sneered. "But without that Winged supreme treasure, without this Blood-Colored Palace supreme treasure, when you meet me next time, will you still have the power to resist?"
When resistance became impossible...
The Lord of Five Wastes embraced his fate with resolution. As a supreme expert, he would naturally struggle desperately when a sliver of hope existed; when there was none, he could meet the end head-on.
"You don't need to worry about that for me, Lord of Five Wastes. How long have I been cultivating? Perhaps the next time you meet me, Lord of Five Wastes, my strength will surpass yours. Even without the Winged supreme treasure, I can still defeat you and send you fleeing in panic." Luo Feng stated.
"Haha, confidence... such confidence."
The Abyss was truly terrifying.
Neither the Blood-Colored Pyramid nor the Five Beast Gods possessed any ability to resist.
"Roar—!" The ravenous suction pulled the Blood-Colored Pyramid and the Five Beast Gods at super-high speed deeper into the void. Unlike the crushing force of the magma vortexes in the Sea of Magma, this suction felt like a black hole—only a hundred million times stronger. And the deeper they went, the more intense the suction became.
"Ahhh! I can't maintain the Five Beast Gods anymore! Hahaha, Silver Wing Lord Luo Feng, I’ll take my leave first. We shall fight again next time!" The Lord of Five Wastes roared with laughter.
Smack! Smack!
The malevolent Five Beast Gods trembled under the suction, appearing on the verge of shattering apart. Simultaneously, two of its scales tore away and were instantly swallowed into the depths. "The Five Beast Gods, after all, are merely a combat technique condensed into form. They might rival peak Palace supreme treasures in resisting attacks, but they are inferior to true peak Palace supreme treasures in terms of stability." As the suction intensified, maintaining the Five Beast God form became impossible.
Smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack!
Following the separation of the two scales, the entire Five Beast God instantly began shedding countless scales. The numerous scales of the Extinction God Armor were sucked away with a whistling sound toward the depths of the Abyss.
When the Five Beast Gods collapsed, the Lord of Five Wastes was naturally exposed.
"Hahahaha...!" The Lord of Five Wastes laughed wildly.
Tear!
Under the terrifying suction, his god body completely disintegrated and annihilated, vanishing without a sound. His World Ring, Space Ring, and others were utterly pulverized by this terrifying force. A massive amount of items, materials, and supreme treasures appeared out of thin air, only to be met with a chorus of Bang! Bang! Bang! upon appearance.
Supreme treasures—ordinary, high-tier, top-tier—shattered and annihilated one by one! Innumerable materials were ground to dust! While the suction force here wasn't enough to disintegrate "peak Palace-type supreme treasures," it could certainly break down top-tier Palace supreme treasures and many peak weapon-type supreme treasures. Some of the Lord of Five Wastes' crucial possessions were annihilated, leaving only the Blade Core Realm, the Water Wave Prison, the Black Pendant, and the Extinction God Armor undamaged.
The Extinction God Armor, in the form of countless scales, was sucked into the depths.
The Blade Core Realm, the Water Wave Prison, and the Black Pendant were also swept along, flying toward the core.
"Farewell, Lord of Five Wastes!"
Luo Feng, inside the Blood-Colored Pyramid, deployed his Golden Kingdom, enveloping the surroundings in a hazy golden light, allowing him to clearly observe the intact Blade Core Realm, Water Wave Prison, and Black Pendant.
"Only precious supreme treasures can survive the terrifying suction of the Abyss like this." Luo Feng attempted to use the Golden Kingdom's binding force to restrain the treasures, but the Abyss's suction power was vastly superior—on an entirely different level—making control impossible.
Rumble! Rumble!
The Blood-Colored Pyramid, the Blade Core Realm, the Water Wave Prison, and the Black Pendant accelerated rapidly. The speed of the Extinction God Armor's countless scales also became exaggerated.
"That is!" Luo Feng vaguely perceived giant, crisscrossing black objects below. Bang! Bang! Bang! The countless scales, the Blade Core Realm, the Water Wave Prison, and the Black Pendant all collided with those massive black objects. This impact immediately altered their trajectory, sending them being sucked away in different directions.
"The Black Pendant." Luo Feng hesitated for only a moment before immediately controlling the Star Tower, striving to move closer to the Black Pendant's direction.
Thump!
The Star Tower also struck a black object, then tumbled, chasing after the Black Pendant.
Divine Eye Clan's First Miniature Universe.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha..." The Lord of Five Wastes let out bursts of unrestrained laughter. He stood before the railing of the divine hall, looking out, laughing wildly.
Swish!
Endless radiance condensed in the mid-air before the Lord of Five Wastes, taking the form of an old man with a cyclops phantom behind his back. The old man walked forward, looking at the Lord of Five Wastes, his voice steady: "Five Wastes."
"First True Master." The Lord of Five Wastes slightly bowed.
The Divine Eye Clan—Seven True Masters. Each was a Universe Supreme Expert, and the First True Master held the highest status and reverence.
"My primary battle avatar has just perished," the Lord of Five Wastes reported. "It fell into the Abyss above Flame Water Lake, within the Ninth Abyss."
"Hmm?" The First True Master continued to regard the Lord of Five Wastes.
"Hahahaha, I underestimated Luo Feng. He is a newly ascended expert with a long lifespan, yet after passing through the Sea of Magma in a life-or-death struggle, he dared to drag me into the Abyss. Hah! After facing certain death, one usually cherishes life more. He should value it more than I do. I failed," the Lord of Five Wastes laughed.
"The lost supreme treasures?" the First True Master inquired.
"In the Abyss, numerous supreme treasures will surely shatter one by one. The only ones likely to survive are the Black Token, the Blade Core Realm, the Water Wave Prison, and the Extinction God Armor. Among those, the Blade Core Realm and the Water Wave Prison might also shatter in some extremely dangerous regions of the Abyss. Only the Black Token, which originated from the Universe Ark, and the Extinction God Armor, second only to Ultimate Supreme Treasures, can be preserved," the Lord of Five Wastes elaborated. "Luo Feng's Winged supreme treasure should also survive."
"Indeed."
"The Black Token, the two special supreme treasures..." The First True Master nodded slightly. "It is worth sending one of our Divine Eye Clan's True Masters."
The Abyss is a desperate road.
But for Universe Supreme Experts, it is something that can be traversed.
In mere moments, the Divine Eye Clan's Third True Master and Sixth True Master, two Universe Supreme Experts, set off together towards the Universe Ark! This time, their target was the Black Token within the Abyss, and the two special supreme treasures—the Extinction God Armor and the Silver Wings.
"Luo Feng! What's going on? You are being pursued by the Lord of Fengyang, the Lord of Five Wastes, and two others?" City Lord of Chaos sent three urgent messages to Luo Feng in succession.
When Luo Feng was deep in the well...
He finally replied to one urgent message.
"Teacher, I dragged the Lord of Five Wastes into the Ninth Abyss," Luo Feng replied simply. He did not want to reveal that he was still alive. Firstly, he couldn't explain how he survived, and secondly, if his survival were known, the Human Race might attempt a rescue, potentially dragging the race into more trouble.
He could fully foresee that once the news spread of him and the Lord of Five Wastes being trapped, it would certainly attract Universe Supreme Experts hoping to seize treasures. If the Human Race attempted a rescue then, it would obviously create even greater complications.
"I must resolve everything myself," Luo Feng thought to himself. "To the outside world, only my main body is considered dead."
Upon receiving the message, City Lord of Chaos stood silently outside his palace for a moment.
"I hope this failure serves as a greater tempering for you. You possess the ability to clone, and your cultivation time is short. You will surely reach greater heights in the future," City Lord of Chaos replied with only those few words, saying no more. In truth, in the City Lord of Chaos's view, a supreme treasure as unique as the Winged supreme treasure relied heavily on chance and opportunity to acquire. Losing it now would make regaining it difficult!
But he also understood that the growth of a supreme expert depended on themselves; no one else could help.
"My disciple is truly formidable, dragging the Lord of Five Wastes to die with him. The Lord of Five Wastes was my equal," City Lord of Chaos shook his head, then headed toward the location of the Giant Axe Creator.
"Giant Axe!"
City Lord of Chaos arrived at the Giant Axe Creator's location.
"Chaos? Why are you here? About Luo Feng? I heard about it; he seemed to be pursued by the Lord of Fengyang, the Lord of Five Wastes, and two others," the Giant Axe Creator emerged from his divine hall, barefoot, hair disheveled.
"He has entered the Ninth Abyss with the Lord of Five Wastes; both of them are certainly doomed," the City Lord of Chaos stated. "Luo Feng's treasures, and the Lord of Five Wastes' treasures, are all in the Ninth Abyss. This is a rare opportunity, Giant Axe, will you make a trip?"
"Go? Of course, I will go," the Giant Axe Creator replied.
