The half-finished Extinction Divine Armor hovered mid-air in the core control room of the Star Tower. It exuded a faint, dark glow, the armor itself pitch-black, save for the right claw, which was golden.

“Innumerable ancient messages flooded into Luo Feng. Though he couldn’t decipher the script, he grasped the meaning.

“So this is the Mad Demon God Extinction Armor,” Luo Feng’s eyes shone with delight. “Truly worthy of being a treasure second only to the supreme ultimate treasures. Incredible, precisely what I need most.” The preceding transmission had already conveyed the vast majority of the data concerning the Mad Demon God Extinction Armor.

The Mad Demon God Extinction Armor possessed several functions.

As armor, its defensive capability was naturally immense.

It influenced the soul and will. Due to its unique material, it could weaken even soul attacks down to one percent of their original power!

Its defense against material attacks was even stronger, capable of weakening them down to one hundred-thousandth! These two points alone made it extraordinarily precious, even surpassing the Tribulation Armor. Secondly! It comprised 8,999,999 scale segments. These nearly nine million scales could be fully condensed into various forms and utilized as "psionic weapons," much like how the Master of the Five Chaos condensed them into the Five Beast Gods. This covered the long-range attack aspect. Furthermore! In close combat, its right claw served as the most potent point of attack. Beyond defense, ranged offense, and melee capabilities—these three core aspects—the Mad Demon God Extinction Armor possessed a peculiar ability that accounted for its name, "Mad Demon." As the wielder’s consciousness and will became increasingly attuned to the armor, the user would also grow more maniacal. To an extreme degree, in battle, they would forget everything else, knowing only how to fight with frantic intensity. The "Mad Demon State" also generated a strong impact of will, although the power of this impact wasn't significant enough to be considered highly useful.

“What an eerie Mad Demon God Extinction Armor,” Luo Feng murmured, gazing up at the hovering artifact. Instantly, whoosh, the armor transformed into a streak of black light and rapidly flew into Luo Feng’s body. Black scales immediately began to manifest across his divine body surface. As for the previous Tribulation Armor, Luo Feng had temporarily stored it away.

“Mad Demon? Mad Demon?” Luo Feng frowned.

Eerie, perilous! Madness was hardly a virtue. According to the information received, once one entered the Mad Demon State, influenced by the armor, they risked forgetting everything except the urge to fight wildly. This was a dangerous state because, no matter how fiercely one fought, maintaining a cool assessment of the situation remained vital deep down.

“No wonder I never heard the Master of the Five Chaos use the will impact,” Luo Feng mused. “It truly is a marginal ability.” “Fortunately, the close combat, ranged offense, and defense capabilities are all heaven-defying... especially that right claw for melee!” Luo Feng felt a surge of anticipation. The entire Mad Demon God Extinction Armor was engraved with various specialized secret patterns: patterns dedicated to “material defense,” combinatorial patterns, and the golden right claw alone featured a triple layer of secret pattern engravings. However, it was clear that many patterns were slightly incomplete, indicating missing components.

“Defense and combination aspects—the secret patterns aren't too difficult,” Luo Feng judged quickly, given his profound mastery of the Secret Pattern Flow. “The most profound are those bestowed upon the golden right claw; they feel comparable to the Shi Wu Wings, yet clearly a notch below the Star Tower.” “Keep searching.”

Luo Feng couldn't afford to dwell on deciphering the patterns now. He feared he wouldn’t grasp them quickly enough, and the strongest beings from the God-Eye race were surely on their way. At their speed, they wouldn't take long to arrive. He had to rush and gather every last scale before they did.

Time slipped by, and half a month passed in a flash.

Luo Feng had taken considerable time traversing from the exterior of the Cosmic Boat to the Abyss. However, the Third True Lord and the Sixth True Lord were utterly brazen, charging straight through with astonishing speed.

“Ahead is the Frozen Lake Lightning Fire. Above the lake is the Abyss. Based on the reference coordinates, we charge directly upward to reach the Ninth Abyss. In this short time, even if someone inside the Ninth Abyss was seeking treasures, they likely haven’t emerged yet. The Abyss is vast, and most areas cannot be scanned with domains; one must rely on sight, sensing, and so on. Scanning the entire region takes ages. With our perception methods as Universe’s Strongest, he cannot escape.” “Let’s go.” Whoosh! Whoosh! Both rode their peak palace-type ultimate treasures, turning into twin streams of light that tore through spacetime, causing the operating laws to yield as their speed soared—500 times the speed of light, 1,000 times the speed of light! They quickly traversed the Frozen Lake Lightning Fire and beheld the massive, endless black hole of the Abyss above them. Their speed drastically reduced! Even Universe’s Strongest dare not charge into the Abyss at super-high velocity. After all, the Abyss itself possessed terrifying suction power. Combining that with their own high speed could overload even a peak ultimate treasure palace. Forced to slow down drastically, they halted, then allowed the suction force to draw them in slowly. While a Universe Master riding a peak palace-type treasure couldn't survive, Universe’s Strongest were different! Using their peak palace-type treasures, they could exert greater power, allowing them to navigate the Abyss freely. “Entering the Abyss.” “I want to see who dares to seize my God-Eye race’s ultimate treasures. Hmph, the Extinction Divine Armor and the winged ultimate treasure—both shall belong to the God-Eye race!” “My limit is approaching; this is the perfect opportunity to establish dominance. Whoever this Universe’s Strongest is, they are simply unlucky.” The two Universe’s Strongest, brimming with murderous intent, plunged directly into the Abyss. Even as Universe’s Strongest, they were prepared for confrontation! It was worth noting that the God-Eye race had previously acquired ancient secret patterns from three forbidden zones. After careful study, the Seven True Lords had grasped numerous profound mysteries, even developing combined techniques. In the entire sea of the universe, apart from the Primal Ancestor, they genuinely feared no one. Deep within the Ninth Abyss. “Where? Where exactly is it?” Luo Feng flew within the Ninth Abyss, riding the Blood-Colored Pyramid, anxious to the extreme. “Where are these last few scales?” The Extinction Divine Armor required 8,999,999 scales. During the initial search, he had worried that some scales might have fallen to distant, unknown locations. And now, that fear had materialized. He had collected a full 8,999,993 scales, missing only the final six. “Even one scale short, and the Extinction Divine Armor will be slightly incomplete,” Luo Feng worried. The summoning sense offered no guidance. “No summoning sense means the scale is far away.” Luo Feng closed his eyes, and a map surfaced in his mind—a distribution chart compiled from the massive collection of scales he already possessed. Through this map, he performed estimations. “It can be deduced that the final six scales could be in nine distinct areas, all situated toward the edges of the distribution map in different directions…” Luo Feng quickly plotted a course. Whoosh! The Blood-Colored Pyramid immediately followed the route, flying at high speed to seek the last six scales. In terms of summoning sense, the “Extinction Divine Armor” clearly couldn't compare to the Shi Wu Wings; the Shi Wu Wings could generate a strong sensation even across light-years. However, the maximum sensing range of the Extinction Divine Armor was less than half a light-year. This disparity also highlighted the gap between the two ultimate treasures. “The Shi Wu Wings, just two sets, are already this powerful. If there were six full pairs... how terrifying would that be,” Luo Feng muttered. “I’ve located a fragment of an ultimate treasure. It’s likely the treasures belonging to Luo Feng and the Five Chaos fled in this direction after they perished.” “Search carefully.” The Third True Lord and the Sixth True Lord had already been searching the Abyss for eight days. Following the path dictated by the “suction force,” they were soon approaching the approximate area. They finally discovered an ultimate treasure fragment, which confirmed to them that the other fragments and the scales of the Extinction Divine Armor should be nearby. Luo Feng traversed the edge zones based on the massive scale distribution map, daring not deploy the golden domain rashly. He estimated that the Universe’s Strongest were likely entering the Ninth Abyss around this time. If he unleashed his golden domain, wouldn’t he become an obvious target? The Blood-Colored Pyramid, no larger than a mote of dust, flew at high speed, while Luo Feng, clad in the black Mad Demon God Extinction Armor, searched using the summoning sense. “Only two left!” “Nine days. Four scales found in nine days; only the final two remain.” Luo Feng sensed a growing danger; he had a premonition that the Universe’s Strongest could appear at any moment. “For these last two scales, out of the nine potential areas previously identified... I still have three locations unsearched.” “The Abyss is vast. The routes I’ve taken are all along areas unreachable by domain scans. If they want to find me, they must rely on sight alone.” “I believe they won’t find me immediately.” “The final three areas are relatively remote. It should take about half a month to sweep through them all,” Luo Feng silently hoped. Half a month—that’s the maximum time needed to search everywhere. He must find the last two scales to complete the Mad Demon God Extinction Armor. As the Third True Lord and the Sixth True Lord searched, they gradually advanced toward the areas where the scales were distributed. Three more days passed. Luo Feng suppressed his impatience, controlling the Star Tower to fly along the predetermined path. “Back in the magma sea’s vortex core, my speed bypassed the control of operating laws and was ridiculously fast. If the Universe’s Strongest truly fight to the death, they possess similar capabilities,” Luo Feng forced himself to remain calm while meticulously sensing. If any unusually powerful fluctuations appeared, he would instantly conceal himself. “Hm?” Luo Feng frowned and took out a token with a flip of his hand. This was a token given by his teacher, Zuo Shan Ke, allowing them to communicate. “Luo Feng.” Zuo Shan Ke’s voice came through. “Teacher,” Luo Feng replied. “Where are you right now?” Zuo Shan Ke inquired. “I’m still in the Ninth Abyss,” Luo Feng confirmed. “Not that. I mean, where in the Ninth Abyss are you? I am already inside the Ninth Abyss now, moving deeper with the suction force. I spotted the Third True Lord and the Sixth True Lord earlier, but they didn't see me. Tell me your location...” Zuo Shan Ke’s message stunned Luo Feng for a moment. Teacher? Teacher is here? This… “Teacher, you…” Luo Feng was genuinely dumbfounded. “If I didn’t come, even if you became a Universe Master and utilized the Star Tower, you couldn’t fight the suction force to escape. Are you planning to stay in this Abyss forever?” Zuo Shan Ke asked. “Teacher!” A wave of warmth washed over Luo Feng’s heart. At this crucial moment, Teacher Zuo Shan Ke had arrived. The teacher who had once spoken harshly about leaving Luo Feng to his fate had shown up directly. Gratitude surged within Luo Feng, but he buried it deep in his heart, remembering it firmly. “Teacher, I am currently at…” Luo Feng described the surrounding dangerous landmarks in detail, helping his teacher understand his bearings. “I’m coming now.” Zuo Shan Ke acknowledged.
