The overwhelming emotion carried by the unknown script etched onto the stone walls momentarily plunged Luo Feng into a furious onslaught, as if hearing the roar of an ancient, mighty being: "Death to all, death to all, no one can escape, no one is allowed!" "I refuse to accept this, I refuse to accept this!"

Luo Feng quickly regained his clarity.

"The emotion contained within the script is this intense, and it even carries his will," Luo Feng gasped in astonishment. "A terrifying existence that perished in some forgotten cycle of reincarnation, merely leaving behind script, and it can affect me like this—how incredibly strong must he have been? However, this script is the same as the one transmitted by the ultimate treasures."

"Ultimate treasures are born one after another, but no one knows who truly created them. The Original Universe? The Sea of Universes? Or perhaps..."

"It now seems that many circulating ultimate treasures are likely connected to this powerful civilization that has been obliterated," Luo Feng speculated inwardly.

Luo Feng turned to look at his teacher beside him.

Zuo Shan Ke was observing silently. With his strength, he was naturally unaffected by the intense emotion of the script. Yet, a trace of sorrow flickered in his eyes. After a long pause, he slowly shook his head and looked at Luo Feng: "Luo Feng, this mysterious powerhouse who left the script was stronger than me, stronger than any Universe Supreme Master. Even your Human Race's Ancestor might not have matched him. Perhaps only the Progenitors of the two Holy Land Universes could rival him."

"So incredibly powerful, yet the end was so tragic..." Zuo Shan Ke sighed, shaking his head. "In our Sea of Universes, the three active cycles of reincarnation and the two Holy Land Universes—after thousands, even tens of thousands of reincarnation eras—who knows which race or being will survive?"

Luo Feng was startled.

Indeed.

Not to mention too long; perhaps after just three cycles of reincarnation, only the two Holy Land Universes might survive among the current vast numbers of powerhouses. It was incredibly difficult to produce another 'Holy Land Universe.'

"Teacher," Luo Feng's gaze sharpened like a knife, his voice soft yet firm, "Hope may be slim, but the two Holy Lands still exist. We all see hope! No matter what, we must strive! I have only lived for a little over a hundred thousand years, which is incredibly brief compared to a reincarnation era. If I can reach this stage today, then in hundreds of millions of years, tens of billions of years... and even longer, I will surely advance higher! Even if there is no path, we must forge one—especially since a powerhouse has succeeded before!"

Zuo Shan Ke looked at Luo Feng and smiled, nodding. "Haha, I was perhaps too affected by those scripts. Young people are indeed different, full of sharp spirit. That very spirit is what is needed. Some old fellows who have lived for endless eons have had their sharpness ground away by the long passage of time without breakthrough. Work hard, perhaps in the future, even Teacher will need your assistance."

"Assistance..." A thought stirred in Luo Feng's heart.

"Let's explore what else the powerhouse who lived here long ago left behind," Zuo Shan Ke suggested.

"Lead the way."

Luo Feng followed along.

Luo Feng and Zuo Shan Ke were no ordinary beings; their movement across the area was like streaks of light. A single glance took in everything, their speed naturally being exceptionally fast.

"The entire island is incomparably tranquil, entirely different from other parts of the Abyss. Yet, there isn't a single plant on the island, not a single treasure—only endless palaces...," Luo Feng mused. Suddenly, Zuo Shan Ke ahead strode forward and instantly vanished into the third palace in the distance.

"Luo Feng, come here." Zuo Shan Ke's voice held a hint of excitement.

Luo Feng sped up slightly and arrived instantly within the palace. In the vast courtyard of the enormous structure, there were delicate decorative carvings. Furthermore, the courtyard featured a massive, purely ornamental stone wall, about a thousand meters high and two thousand meters long, emanating an incredibly intense aura.

"This is..." Luo Feng saw it clearly at a glance. The stone wall was covered in countless minute script patterns, tiny down to the 'nanometer level.' These myriad micro-patterns seemed embedded in the wall, the wall acting as their nest, ultimately converging into a singular, three-dimensional, strange grand pattern.

"Boom!"

An aura slammed into Luo Feng's consciousness.

What was merely a stone wall before him now transformed, as if containing an entire world. Within this world, countless living beings—some rocky, some metallic, some flesh-and-blood—billions upon billions of lives were all kneeling, prostrating in one direction, worshipping, their mouths emitting a collective sound: 'Mo Du' 'Mo Du'...'

Mo Du!

The sound echoed, like a devastating landslide.

"Luo Feng, wake up!" A strong divine force shock jarred Luo Feng awake.

"Teacher..." Luo Feng turned to his teacher, his heart filled with shock. This was terrifying. What kind of secret technique was this? He himself studied the stream of secret script patterns and had meticulously studied the 'Microcosm Secret Script Pattern.' But compared to the profound and mysterious secret script patterns contained within this stone wall, the Microcosm Secret Script Pattern was like a mere candle flame next to a star.

Moreover, Luo Feng was certain that the vision he had just witnessed was directly caused by the wall's secret script patterns... And the being who created that pattern, if he truly unleashed that secret technique, could make billions of lives submit; at the very least, a Universe Master would be unable to resist, instantly becoming its slave.

"@FanLe @ShenLingNoJueXing @ChaZuoWoShiChaTou 'You are truly audacious, arriving here and immediately confronting the entire stone wall script pattern. This pattern is the legacy of an ancient existence, unfathomably profound. Even I can only grasp fragments of it.' Zuo Shan Ke gestured beside him. 'I intended for you to look here first.'"

Luo Feng followed the direction his teacher pointed.

It was the courtyard wall. Upon it were some lingering inscriptions, clearly left by the same powerhouse who left the frantic script seen earlier.

"I finally broke through, but death will descend swiftly."

"I cannot accept this."

"I regret it."

"But it's too late... Everything is too late. They all die. I reached a new realm, comprehended my strongest ultimate skill. I am unwilling to let my endless eons of contemplation vanish, so I leave this ultimate skill in the form of a secret script pattern—this is my highest peak, my absolute zenith...," The brief text seemed to carry less raw fury as it was written, replaced only by sorrow.

Luo Feng looked at the message on the wall and instantly understood. The unbelievable secret script pattern embedded in the stone wall earlier represented the peak achievement of that powerful being.

"This isn't the first instance," Zuo Shan Ke stated. "In the three great perilous zones, core areas often hold ancient relics. Relics left by super-beings from cycles of reincarnation long past. Including this time, I have seen nine such relics. Some relics are extremely useful, while others serve no purpose."

Luo Feng nodded. He himself had obtained the relic of Jie Fan Zi and made such discoveries. It was unsurprising that Universe Supreme Masters who could enter the 'core areas' of the three great perilous zones would uncover numerous ancient relics.

"This being simply wanted to prove himself," Zuo Shan Ke shook his head. "He had no intention of passing on a legacy. If he intended to leave a legacy, even without detailed guidance, he would have left several sets of secret script patterns, ranging from low to high, for later generations to study. Instead, he left this single, most heaven-defying set of script patterns right here! Even I cannot cultivate it—who can?"

"The God Eye race was once fortunate enough to discover a complete inherited relic left by an ancient existence," Zuo Shan Ke murmured wistfully. "If only I had such luck."

"Luo Feng, I told you not to look at the main stone wall, yet you did," Zuo Shan Ke couldn't help but say.

At this moment, Luo Feng was indeed looking at the stone wall.

However, he was only observing a single corner of the wall, not the entire pattern as before—perhaps only one ten-thousandth of the complete pattern. He saw countless miniature secret script patterns interwoven, even penetrating the interior of the wall, suggesting a concept like 'the universe is composed of fundamental particles' and 'fundamental particles combine to form living beings'—a bizarre sensation.

Each miniature pattern was exquisite, and the construction formed by these countless patterns completely mesmerized Luo Feng.

"Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Light, Sound? Spacetime? Law Fusion?"

"Nonsense."

"None of it. This is an entirely different system, far more refined and unfathomable..." Luo Feng was utterly shaken.

Suddenly, "Luo Feng, wake up!" Zuo Shan Ke shouted.

Luo Feng turned to his teacher. "Teacher, I wasn't affected this time; I am completely clear-headed."

"You've been staring for over three days now," Zuo Shan Ke said helplessly, shaking his head. "Have I been standing here the whole time? Although this secret script pattern is profoundly mysterious, it is not on my path."

"Ah, three days?" Luo Feng started. Fully immersed, time truly flew by.

"Teacher, this script pattern is immensely profound; I might not decipher it even over tens of millions of years. However, by comprehending its most basic elements... it has created an imprint on my understanding of the secret script pattern stream. My attainments in this stream have been stuck at the 'limit of a Universe Venerate' for a long time; I feel this is a breakthrough opportunity for me."

Zuo Shan Ke smiled. "Haha, that's true. While useless to me, you specialize in the secret script pattern school. That school thrives on observing and researching more patterns to achieve breakthroughs. In these three days, I also studied, and I gained insights, grasping five major secret script patterns. Take a look!"

"Whoosh!"

Zuo Shan Ke gestured toward the tall courtyard wall. Suddenly, countless tiny scripts shimmered into existence across the stone wall. Five grand secret script patterns, each far deeper than the Microcosm Secret Script Pattern, manifested in five different locations on the wall.

"These five secret script patterns are what I deduced from it. Each possesses one-thousandth of the true might of that ultimate skill."

"With these stepping stones, your comprehension will also be faster," Zuo Shan Ke stated directly.

Luo Feng gazed at the five secret script patterns, his heart reeling in awe. Truly worthy of the being who forged an Ultimate Treasure; his power was terrifying.

"Stop looking, it's time to go," Zuo Shan Ke smiled. "This island is very quiet and poses no danger. You can leave a divine power avatar here to slowly study. Do you know... there is a massive commotion happening outside right now? I have already sensed powerful fluctuations; I estimate Universe Supreme Masters are fighting."

"Universe Supreme Masters fighting?" Luo Feng was startled.

"Otherwise, why would I wake you up?" Zuo Shan Ke chuckled. "Leave your divine power avatar here. Although the avatar's strength is weak, as long as no one attacks it, it will be fine. It can focus entirely on contemplation here. Let's go see; if we're timely, we might witness the battle. Tsk tsk... perhaps one of the combatants is your Human Race's Giant Axe Founder."
