At this moment, Luo Feng's silver armor turned grotesque, with protrusions on the shoulders and blades on the elbows. His hands transformed into five distinct blades, making his entire being resemble a 'Blade Beast God'.
"Peng!" "Peng!"
The Lord of the Pure Eye managed to block the attacks consecutively, causing the rocky ground beneath to crack and spread outwards in all directions.
"Pure Eye, your soul attacks are formidable, but your material attack methods still fall short!" For a time, Luo Feng's entire body seemed weaponized—elbows, claws, fists, knees, fingertips, head... Time attacked furiously, allowing the Lord of the Pure Eye to be struck repeatedly.
It was only his powerful divine body that managed to sustain the onslaught.
"Ah~~" The Lord of the Pure Eye roared in unwilling fury, "Silver Winged Lord!"
Boom!
The surrounding boundless, hazy cyan light spots suddenly flared with immense power. Countless cyan lights surged, aggressively enveloping and trapping Luo Feng. This immediately slowed Luo Feng down from his previous rampage, allowing the Lord of the Pure Eye to flash away and retreat far back, watching Luo Feng from a distance with complex eyes.
A mere youngster who had cultivated for only a dozen or so epochs had forced him, the Lord of the Pure Eye, to use a peak domain-type supreme treasure.
This was a disgrace.
As a superpower specializing in the soul path, he naturally had contingencies for when soul attacks failed—for instance, in the vast sea of the universe, some special life forms possessed no soul. Therefore, the Lord of the Pure Eye’s defensive and escape means, such as his 'domain-type supreme treasure,' 'palace-type supreme treasure,' and 'armor,' were extremely potent.
But being forced to use them indicated he could not defeat his opponent; being pushed by Luo Feng to use his domain treasure at full capacity naturally left the arrogant Lord of the Pure Eye feeling stifled.
"Domain supreme treasure?" Luo Feng's eyes flashed with the ferocity of a beast god, followed by a sneer. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground. "To be able to force you, Lord of the Pure Eye, to use a domain-type supreme treasure to its fullest—it is truly my honor. It seems... Lord of the Pure Eye, you are unable to touch me."
"How did you block my soul attack?" The Lord of the Pure Eye couldn't help but ask.
"Guess?" Luo Feng chuckled lightly.
The Lord of the Pure Eye frowned. "According to the data, you possess the Demon Killing Clan avatar. Is the primary combat avatar you're using now the Demon Killing Clan avatar? Or perhaps you possess a special supreme treasure with incredibly strong soul defense guarding you?" If it were the Demon Killing Clan avatar, it truly wouldn't fear any soul attack.
"Why should I tell you?" Luo Feng immediately closed his eyes, too lazy to bother with the Lord of the Pure Eye.
If the Lord of the Pure Eye truly intended to flee, and Luo Feng currently didn't want to expose the 'Shi Wu Wing,' he couldn't pursue.
Exposing the Shi Wu Wing would bring considerable trouble. The God Eye Clan might assume that Giant Axe Creator had obtained the Shi Wu Wing and given it to Luo Feng. However, Giant Axe Creator, City Lord of Chaos, and the others knew... Giant Axe hadn't originally obtained the wings, and those present in the Ninth Abyss at that time were only a few, like Sitting Mountain Guest and Demon God Jin Huang.
Demon God Jin Huang belonged to the Second Reincarnation Era and wouldn't give it to Luo Feng.
Thus, it would be easy to deduce... Sitting Mountain Guest had a connection with Luo Feng!
"Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest, it seems he doesn't wish this matter to be public," Luo Feng mused internally.
"If Teacher didn't mind... I would naturally dare to use the Shi Wu Wing. With the Shi Wu Wing's mastery over space-time, I wouldn't fear even the Master of Five Hues." Luo Feng was keenly aware that unlike the battle at the Extermination Ravine, where his close-combat strength was weak, he was now a top-tier Tier Four fighter.
Compared to Five Hues, the only gap was in divine power; in fact, he held a slight advantage in supreme treasures (he had the Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor, which Five Hues likely lacked).
Plus the assistance of the Shi Wu Wing!
In a direct confrontation, the difference between them wouldn't be substantial.
"However, a Lord of the Pure Eye..." Luo Feng glanced at the distant Lord of the Pure Eye, whose face was grim, then closed his eyes. "He isn't enough to force me to use the Shi Wu Wing."
"Hmph." The Lord of the Pure Eye snorted in anger, then transformed into a streak of light and departed.
Only after the Lord of the Pure Eye left did Luo Feng open his eyes, a trace of solemnity on his face. Although he appeared relatively relaxed just now... he was indeed relying on the dual defenses of the 'Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor' and the 'Star Tower.' The power of the Pure Destruction Reincarnation was truly immense. Even after being weakened, it poured forth like an endlessly rolling wheel, crushing Luo Feng's soul!
An ordinary soul treasure would likely not have been able to hold the line.
Fortunately, it was the Star Tower!
"It's this strong. Most experts don't have the Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor, nor a true ultimate supreme treasure," Luo Feng sighed inwardly. "As expected, relying on supreme treasures forever isn't the way. I need to temper my will faster. If my will reaches the level of the Universe's Strongest... resisting soul attacks will be much easier, and I can also obtain that white wing."
Whoosh!
Immediately, Luo Feng rose, transforming into a streak of light, and began flying outward.
He was only here to sense the feeling of tempering his will. The first true task he needed to accomplish now... was to find his own private cultivation chamber!
This battle, including the Lord of Yan Ying, was watched from afar by over twenty Universe Masters. They initially all thought Luo Feng was about to suffer a major loss, but unexpectedly, the technique the Lord of the Pure Eye relied upon in the sea of the universe failed against Luo Feng, who then gained the upper hand in close combat.
If the most heaven-defying soul attack failed, then suffering a disadvantage in close combat was within the expectations of the various Universe Masters.
But what the Lord of Yan Ying and the others found incredible was how easily Luo Feng blocked the soul attack. Could it truly be due to the Demon Killing Clan avatar?
In the inner domain of the Cosmic Ark, amidst endless, vast snowfields.
The Master of Five Hues and the Lord of Anyong were traversing the snow, daring not to fly, as the sky in this region was extremely dangerous. They advanced hundreds of thousands of kilometers with every step.
"Hmm?" The Master of Five Hues frowned and stopped.
"What's wrong?" The Lord of Anyong quickly inquired.
A trace of anger flickered in the Master of Five Hues' eyes as he said grimly, "That Luo Feng has appeared in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar Space!"
"The Black Pattern Stone Pillar Space?" The Lord of Anyong immediately rejoiced. "That's right, I remember Pure Eye is in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar Space." Thinking of Pure Eye, the Lord of Anyong felt deep apprehension; that being was terrifying.
"Pure Eye has already fought Luo Feng," the Master of Five Hues shook his head. "Unfortunately, the Lord of the Pure Eye could not deal with Luo Feng. Luo Feng seemingly resisted his soul attack with ease and no reaction! He could only rely on his domain-type supreme treasure to suppress Luo Feng, preventing him from engaging in close-quarters combat."
"What!" The Lord of Anyong was greatly shocked.
"Luo Feng has several avatars. This time, he might be using the Demon Killing Clan avatar," the Master of Five Hues frowned. "I don't care how he resisted the soul attack; it has nothing to do with me. I can completely crush him with absolute strength. But what troubles me now is... after the battle, Luo Feng left that place so quickly. I wonder if he has gone somewhere else."
"Gone again?" The Lord of Anyong widened his eyes. "Where on earth is Luo Feng's destination?"
"Who knows?" The Master of Five Hues shook his head.
The Black Pattern Stone Pillar Space was vast and bizarre, with sixteen towering black pattern stone pillars reaching up endlessly.
"Haha, it took half a month, but I finally found my own private cultivation chamber." Luo Feng looked at a black-spired building in the distance and couldn't help but smile. He had a feeling—since the sensation was only strong at close range, he had indeed been running to one black pattern stone pillar after another these past few days.
"Five Hues, oh Five Hues."
"Your black token has fallen into my hands. I wonder... what exactly has he left behind in this private cultivation chamber."
Whoosh!
Luo Feng transformed into a streak of light and flew swiftly towards it.
This private chamber was enormous, comparable in size to the massive rocks orbiting the black pattern stone pillars. As Luo Feng flew toward it, he felt his own insignificance. He lightly touched the wall, yet his hand passed straight through effortlessly.
"Oh?" Luo Feng smiled in surprise, then took a step forward, passing directly through the building's wall and entering inside.
Inside the private chamber lay an independent space.
It was towering, vast, and endless.
Only the owner of the black token could enter. No matter how powerful an expert was—even a Universe's Strongest—they could not force their way in... Over long ages, no expert had ever managed to destroy a private chamber, even this lowest-tier black token space among the three token chambers.
"It really is this big." Luo Feng hovered in mid-air, looking down upon the endless land.
One side of the continuous mountain range on the ground had been planed perfectly flat. On the smooth rock face, one could immediately see a large number of secret pattern diagrams and textual records.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng quickly descended, landing near the beginning of the countless carvings and records. There were ancient characters there that he couldn't recognize at all. These characters were also different from the ancient writings of the civilization that originally inhabited the Cosmic Ark. However, the writing itself contained a powerful will, easily transmitting information to the observer.
At their level, even a simple diagram could convey a vast amount of information.
"I, Lord Nine Fervor! This black token has passed through countless generations to reach me. Successive experts perished one by one, leaving behind only faint traces that can be discerned. This truly makes me sigh. Therefore, I had an idea: I hope that every subsequent owner of this private chamber leaves some message here, so that even if they perish due to the limit of life, later generations will know. I have lived for nearly three reincarnation eras, my life limit is approaching, so I wait here silently. If I die, the treasures will remain here for the juniors to obtain. Haha, I wonder which future junior will have such fortune."
"I, Que Quan! Senior Nine Fervor's treasure made it to me. I thank Senior Nine Fervor. Before Senior Nine Fervor, there might have been many owners of this private chamber, but the information is unclear. I take the liberty of considering Senior Nine Fervor as the first master of this space. I am the second. If I truly have no hope of overcoming my life limit, I too will leave my treasures here before that limit arrives. This is the diagram of the secret method I comprehended..."
On the vast, smooth rock wall were numerous carvings, each representing a generation's master of the space.
"I, Lord Tong Yu, the 193rd Master of the Space! The previous senior left little behind, haha. But when exploring the Three Great Forbidden Zones, the most troublesome aspect is that many places within them are unknown and dangerous. So, I have an idea: every generation of space masters should leave behind maps related to the Three Great Forbidden Zones, supplementing them in detail with each generation! And these maps should always remain here! I believe that after countless generations... the map will become increasingly detailed, which will be the fortune of us masters of this private chamber. I will leave behind my map related to the Three Great Forbidden Zones."
Following the smooth rock face, generation after generation of space masters inscribed their legacy. As the gaze moved onward, it seemed to extend endlessly.
"Haha, juniors, cry! I have destroyed all the accumulated maps of the Three Great Forbidden Zones from previous generations! Remember me, Lord Thorn! The 1928th Master of the Space! I left no treasures behind, haha! The further back you go, the fewer records there are!"
Later space masters continued to leave maps, initiating a tradition of passing down and enriching the records. Many experts also left behind diagrams of secret methods they were proud of.
"There must be tens of thousands of space masters here," Luo Feng watched silently, seeming to witness the passage of countless generations, seeing experts from eons past before his eyes.
Yet, after endless ages, everything dissolved in the sea of the universe, leaving only these faint traces here.
