The distance from the Cosmic Boat to the Apex World was vast, yet traversing it via instantaneous movement and natural wormholes consumed less time than a mere fraction of a moment aboard the ship.
"Whoosh~~~"
In the Apex World, boundless waters crashed in violent turmoil, and suspended above them floated a pagoda the size of a walnut, colored blood-red.
"We've arrived at the Apex World." Luo Feng, in the form of the Horned-Beast, looked down from within the Star Tower. "Only tens of thousands of years have passed since I was last here. Just tens of thousands of years... this White Wing should not have found a new master yet."
His own Wu Killer Wings had already given birth to a spirit! The White Wing also possessed a spirit!
If the two were to merge, only one of the Wu Killer and the 'Spirit of the White Wing' could survive. With Luo Feng's recognition, the Wu Killer would undoubtedly survive, and the Spirit of the White Wing would be annihilated. This was why, when Luo Feng departed last time, the Spirit of the White Wing had descended into madness, desperate to find a new master.
"I don't know how many cycles of reincarnation have passed without finding a master, and it's only been tens of thousands of years. I refuse to believe this piece of meat that's practically at my mouth can just fly away!" Luo Feng grinned fiercely.
Swish!
The blood-red pagoda instantaneously teleported directly into the waters. Within the waters, it continued to jump through space, but unlike his cautious first arrival, Luo Feng now arrogantly warped straight toward the deep, dark cavern, relying on his supreme ultimate treasure.
Following the winding, deep cavern, the blood-red pagoda passed through nine layers of light screens consecutively, finally entering the Wing Space.
"Rumble~~~" An endless storm of blades swept through the entire space. The blood-red pagoda shrank until it was minuscule, like dust, hurtling rapidly toward the dazzling, colossal light wings.
Nearly a month was spent.
Finally, they flew from the cavern entrance all the way to the immense light wings.
"White Wing." The Horned-Beast Luo Feng clearly discerned the core of those endless, massive light wings—a pure white wing nearly a hundred meters tall, scarred with scratches and splatters of blood.
The blood-red pagoda pressed closer.
The will-impact emanating from the 'bloodstains' on the White Wing, to the present Luo Feng, felt like nothing more than minor ripples lapping against his feet; he barely registered it.
"Hum~~~"
A fluctuation transmitted from the White Wing, passing through the Star Tower, reached Luo Feng directly.
"Star Beast!" an ancient voice echoed.
"Who are you?" the Horned-Beast asked, feigning 'shock' from within the blood-red pagoda.
"I am the spirit of the Ultimate Treasure, the Wing!" the ancient voice stated.
The shocked Horned-Beast projected its voice, "Treasure Spirit? Then what were those previous will-impacts, and the blade-form storm just now?"
The ancient voice continued to speak...
Luo Feng, however, scoffed inwardly.
This time, to reclaim the White Wing and prevent any unforeseen issues, the Tomb Ship had temporarily separated from the Star Tower immediately upon arrival at the outer perimeter of the Apex World. The Tomb Ship was concealed within the chaotic currents outside the Apex World, along with the Earthling true body and the Wu Killer Wings. Only the Horned-Beast avatar had boarded the Star Tower to reclaim the White Wing!
The reason: Luo Feng knew perfectly well that once the two treasures merged, the Spirit of the White Wing would certainly be annihilated. Therefore, if the Spirit of the White Wing discovered Luo Feng's arrival... it might go berserk before Luo Feng could even claim ownership, potentially even attempting something 'mutually destructive.' Although the White Wing was an object, not a life form, caution was necessary. It was better to send the Horned-Beast in! The White Wing only knew its master was human; it did not know Luo Feng possessed a Horned-Beast avatar.
"Hmph, by the time ownership is secured, it will be too late for regret," Luo Feng mused silently.
...
The Horned-Beast feigned extreme excitement at discovering an ultimate treasure, bickering with the Spirit of the White Wing. The Spirit of the White Wing was clearly desperate to be claimed quickly, so it did not mislead the Horned-Beast as it had misled Luo Feng previously. Instead, it stated the conditions for ownership directly.
"My power surpasses your imagination!"
"Precisely because I am immensely powerful, the condition for ownership is stringent. A Universe Venerable must possess the will of a True Universe Overlord! If you are a Universe Master... you must possess a will a full level beyond that of the True Universe Overlord. If you do not meet the requirement, you may inform your clan and send an expert who does. I have been lonely for far, far too long; I truly wish to leave." The White Wing tried every means to entice the Horned-Beast.
Luo Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Heavens. It was being so cooperative. When he had come before, this White Wing was utterly vicious. Now, under the threat of annihilation, it was eagerly trying to coax him, even suggesting he 'inform your clan.'
"Roar~~~ Are you telling the truth?"
"Naturally, it is true."
"Roar~~~" The Horned-Beast sounded extremely agitated, roaring and bellowing loudly, "This is excellent! The fact that I could reach here so easily and withstand that will-impact is precisely because my will has reached the level of a True Universe Overlord. Furthermore, I am actually a Universe Venerable! I meet the conditions!"
...
The Spirit of the White Wing was naturally ecstatic and overjoyed. Its greatest fear was being reclaimed by Luo Feng, which meant its annihilation. Although the discussion with the Horned-Beast was outwardly calm, proceeding step-by-step, the entire process of claiming ownership was actually smooth.
"Yes, imprint your divine power onto the wing, leave your life imprint, and you will have claimed ownership," the White Wing cooperated completely. It was desperate to leave this Wing Space, already planning to inform its new master later—that a certain human possessed the other parts of this super ultimate treasure. At that time, it would have its new master use it to kill that human. Afterward... It would swallow the spirit of the Wu Killer Wings! "I am the spirit of the Wing Ultimate Treasure; that despicable fellow actually stole so much Yuan energy. It must be annihilated." The Spirit of the White Wing naturally harbored intense hatred for the Spirit of the Wu Killer; it was instinct.
...
"Success!" the Horned-Beast growled softly.
"Master, my wing has damage; it must consume some precious materials for repair, or consuming some peak ultimate treasures might also restore it," the Spirit of the White Wing explained.
Since the White Wing was taken, the 'blade storm' within the entire Wing Space naturally vanished. This left the Wing Space ordinary and stable, easily navigable by instantaneous movement.
Swish!
With one warp, the blood-red pagoda arrived at the entrance.
"We're finally out! The legendary Cosmic Sea..." The Spirit of the White Wing was filled with anticipation.
However, when the blood-red pagoda warped out of the Apex World and entered the depths of the dense chaotic currents, a walnut-sized Tomb Ship easily approached it and was swiftly drawn inside.
Inside the Star Tower.
The Horned-Beast was coiled there.
"I feel a summons, a strong one! Master, it's that human, the human who possesses the other parts." The Spirit of the White Wing felt an incredibly strong pull and immediately began to warn, "I was an ultimate treasure of endless might, fractured after that great war. That human obtained the other components; the summons is intense. He is nearby."
Next to the coiled Horned-Beast, a walnut-sized Tomb Ship materialized, and a figure stepped out of it. He was clad in silver armor and silver wings, a stone blade strapped to his back.
"Spirit of the White Wing," Luo Feng looked at the White Wing on the Horned-Beast's back.
"You..." The Spirit of the White Wing instantly understood. It could sense the absolute obedience; with just one thought from this human... it would have no choice.
"Ahhh, if I had known, I would have released all the Yuan energy rather than leave any for you, despicable human!" The Spirit of the White Wing roared, finally understanding that its annihilation was imminent.
"I just feared an accident, so I let you enjoy yourself first," Luo Feng said coldly. "Alright, you can be annihilated now."
In truth, Luo Feng only needed a single thought to destroy the Spirit of the White Wing, but to learn more information, it was better to let the Wu Killer Wings consume it.
"Merge!"
Luo Feng controlled his divine power.
Whoosh~~~~
A pair of white wings and the four silver wings simultaneously suspended in mid-air, then began to fit together. Component after component slotted and connected. Even the Yuan, which contained terrifying might, transferred from the previously damaged White Wing to the lowest pair of silver wings. After all, the silver wings were intact, meaning there was no worry of the Yuan energy leaking.
As they combined, waves of pressure radiated uncontrollably.
"Such powerful pressure," Luo Feng held his breath. "This mechanical flow treasure must have belonged to an expert above the True Universe Overlord level."
Under Luo Feng's observation, the fitting of countless components and the reorganization of secret patterns appeared complex and prolonged, but in reality, it was extremely brief.
The pressure receded. A massive, silver-and-white six-winged structure hung suspended. The lower four wings were perfectly sound, while the edges of the topmost pair of wings were extremely sharp! Furthermore, the edges were laced with numerous secret patterns, seemingly enhancing this sharpness. According to what the 'Spirit of the Wu Killer' had previously explained—the complete Wu Killer Wings consisted of six pairs, with the other five pairs acting as the blade back and body, while the White Wing served as the blade edge. This highlighted its sharpness!
"Come forth," Luo Feng willed, and the six-winged ultimate treasure flew over instantly, swiftly integrating into Luo Feng's back. The six wings spread wide.
Flash!
The six wings shimmered! Without deploying any divine power, merely a casual sweep, the space of the control room was neatly sliced open, achieving this with absolute ease.
"Even without utilizing the 'Yuan,' it rivals a supreme ultimate treasure," Luo Feng marveled. "If I use my 'Nirvana Rebirth' technique with this, its might will likely be second only to my Blood Shadow Blade... But if I activate the Yuan..."
"It's a pity the Yuan cannot be used for now."
The Yuan functioned like an engine and had an energy storage capability. When a powerful expert uses the complete six pairs of wings, divine power should be poured into the Yuan, which converts it into sharper, more aggressive energy—the blade storm energy! This energy could be stored within the Yuan... For actual combat, one could first use the stored energy, and then consume divine power for conversion afterward. However— The energy reserve within this Yuan belonged to the previous owner, not Luo Feng. Luo Feng could use his divine power to enter the Yuan and also convert it into blade storm-like energy, but the level would certainly be significantly lower! And once he activated it, he would be forcing the previous owner's energy to erupt! Because two different levels of energy could not be stored together. Once activated, this would result in a singular eruption! Luo Feng would not be able to release just ten percent or thirty percent... it was impossible. His only method of control was direct divine power infusion, forcing the previous owner's energy to explode outward. Because of this limitation, the deployment would naturally be a single, complete burst. Of course, an instantaneous full explosion would yield terrifying attack power! But since it was a one-time burst, Luo Feng dared not utilize the Yuan for the time being, choosing only to use his divine power to spur the 'Wu Killer Wings,' causing them to function merely as a normal supreme ultimate treasure.
