The very space where the power core of the Human Race—the Primal Secret Realm—resides has shifted. Under the manipulation of the newly ascended True God, the 'Chaos City Master,' even the laws themselves have changed. At the very least, the enemy faction can no longer instantly teleport into the core territory via methods like 'God Kingdom Teleportation' in a short span.
Previously, the fall of Giant Axe weakened humanity's control over a segment of space-time, which is precisely why the allied factions could strike deep into the ancestral lair in such a short time.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—the Endless Nether Sea spanned the void, churning with ceaseless waves.
A figure materialized abruptly atop the crest of a wave.
“I have returned.” Luo Feng stood with his feet planted on the surging water. His divine power rapidly replenished his reserves, and vast amounts of it poured into the Tomb-Lair Boat, instantly restoring the Golden Horned Beast. In an instant, both divine bodies were brought back to peak condition; for the entirety of the Endless Nether Sea, this expenditure of divine power was utterly negligible.
“The Divine Power route is indeed profound and esoteric.” Luo Feng waved his hand, tossing a World Ring outward. The nearby boundless waves immediately surged, swallowing the ring whole.
That World Ring contained the abundance of exotic matter gathered over nearly 800 years aboard the Cosmic Ark. The rock-based materials alone totaled 92,083 distinct types, in addition to flames, gases, metals, and other non-living substances. Within this World Ring were also relics such as the remains of the fallen Thunder Prism Master, fragments of the body of the Vast Thunder Star Master, and more.
Starting from the foundation of divine power…
There were several paths, but the Endless Nether Sea possessed the innate talent of 'Creation,' capable of analyzing life genes and forging new life! Naturally, the route of 'analyzing and dissecting life genes' was the most efficient approach. In fact, before Luo Feng last left for the Cosmic Sea, he had already sent massive quantities of materials from the Primal Universe into the Endless Nether Sea to aid in its dissection.
Luo Feng’s method was straightforward: the Endless Nether Sea performs the dissection! Then, his divine power avatar would study and contemplate the findings within the 'Cultivation Space,' accelerated by a ten-thousand-fold multiplier. Once a breakthrough was achieved, the Endless Nether Sea would immediately be used to conduct experiments.
“It’s a pity some of the creatures I prepared last time have already decayed,” Luo Feng muttered, shaking his head secretly. Some creatures had lifespans of perhaps only a thousand years and had aged to death during the research process.
“Teacher!” Luo Feng called out while standing upon the waves of the Endless Nether Sea.
Shua!
A figure materialized out of thin air before Luo Feng’s eyes—it was the Chaos City Master. At this moment, the Chaos City Master was clad in a golden robe, and within his eyes, one could faintly perceive the birth and destruction of universes. The boundless, solid aura he naturally carried left Luo Feng in awe. Teacher and Giant Axe carried entirely different presences.
Giant Axe was more unrestrained and adventurous.
Chaos was as steadfast as a mountain, disliking risks.
“Congratulations, Teacher.” Luo Feng also noticed the elevation in his teacher’s strength.
“Compared to you, I still lag behind. Your teacher has only just become an Invincible, and you’ve already slain one,” the Chaos City Master teased. “Few across the entire Cosmic Sea possess the combat record of having killed a Universe’s Strongest.”
“Luck,” Luo Feng replied simply.
“You dared to claim a thirty percent chance before the battle, and now you call it luck,” the Chaos City Master shook his head.
Luo Feng offered no further defense. With a wave of his hand, a Star Tower immediately hovered nearby. The side door at the base of the tower swung open, revealing a strange suit of armor shimmering with faint blue light. An ancient, savage aura radiated from it, startling the Chaos City Master: “The Vast Thunder Armor?”
“Yes.” Luo Feng nodded, then continued, “Teacher has ascended to the Universe's Strongest, and this disciple fortunately managed to slay the Vast Thunder Star Master. I bring the Vast Thunder Armor as a congratulatory gift for your breakthrough.”
“You yourself do not possess an Ultimate Supreme Treasure armor…” The Chaos City Master immediately shook his head. “The Vast Thunder Armor is of great use to you. Keep this treasure for yourself.”
“Teacher!” Luo Feng was taken aback. “This disciple possesses Ultimate Supreme Treasures; I am not lacking this one. I returned specifically for this; Teacher must accept it.”
The Chaos City Master frowned and commanded sternly, “Stop arguing. You know my character. If this were an offensive item, or a Palace-type Ultimate Supreme Treasure, I would accept it immediately without civility toward you. But this Ultimate Supreme Treasure Armor… you do not have one yourself, and you are now roaming the Cosmic Sea. I am currently stationed in the Primal Universe and won't be venturing out anytime soon; I have no need for the Vast Thunder Armor. It serves you much better!”
“But, but even the Lord of Darkness and Lord Peng Gong obtained an Ultimate Supreme Treasure. Teacher, you…” Luo Feng was anxious and helpless.
His heart was genuinely filled with gratitude.
He himself possessed several powerful artifacts; losing one Ultimate Supreme Treasure would not be an issue.
When it came to survival, few beings in the entire Cosmic Sea could threaten him. He had planned all along to give this Vast Thunder Armor to his teacher.
“Darkness and Peng Gong are different; the clan was facing the War of Destiny at that time. Furthermore, you already possess offensive and Palace-type Ultimate Supreme Treasures,” the Chaos City Master stated. “That’s why I didn't stop you. But the Vast Thunder Armor… I don't need it. This discussion is over.”
Luo Feng froze, realizing he had no choice but to comply.
He instantly understood that his teacher, who had managed the greater affairs of humanity over vast stretches of time, had always been supremely fair. How could such a strong individual easily accept a favor, even from a disciple? If it were something less crucial to the disciple, it would be one thing, but an Ultimate Supreme Treasure Armor, critically important to his disciple, how could he accept it?
I roam the Cosmic Sea, Luo Feng thought privately. I will continue to adventure. When I next acquire an armor, Teacher will have no excuse to refuse.
Though he thought this, Luo Feng was acutely aware of how incredibly difficult it would be to obtain another Ultimate Supreme Treasure Armor.
“Teacher, this is the Universe Barrier Cone set, the relic left behind after the Vast Thunder Star Master perished,” Luo Feng indicated the Star Tower. From the side door of its base, another string of treasures flew out and hovered above the waves—the strange set of 36 triangular cones.
“The Universe Barrier Cone set?” The Chaos City Master’s eyes lit up, and he praised, “This is a set of Supreme Treasures with extremely potent might, second only to an Ultimate Supreme Treasure. This treasure, Teacher accepts as a congratulatory gift.”
The Chaos City Master understood the depth of his disciple’s sincerity. Having refused the armor earlier had already unsettled Luo Feng; accepting the Universe Barrier Cone set outright would perhaps soothe Luo Feng’s feelings somewhat.
The matter of the gift concluded, and though Luo Feng felt a touch of helplessness, he pushed the issue aside. He immediately said, “Teacher, there is something I need your help with.”
“Speak,” the Chaos City Master nodded.
“My Endless Nether Sea possesses the ‘Creation’ talent,” Luo Feng explained. “I require countless living beings and countless materials from the Primal Universe—whether living creatures or inanimate matter. I need them all. Although I prepared some last time, the Primal Universe is vast. Only by mobilizing the power of the Hong Alliance can I gather enough, and a complete collection.”
The Chaos City Master nodded solemnly. “This matter concerns your breakthrough to the Invincible level; you can rest assured on this. The entire Hong Alliance will be mobilized. Even if it means exhausting every piece of matter, treasure, and living being in the entire Primal Universe, we will prepare it all. How shall we deliver it to you then?”
“Deposit it directly into the Endless Nether Sea,” Luo Feng instructed. “And especially the living creatures! There are billions of races in the universe, particularly those weak races with short lifespans. My future cultivation career might span tens of millions of years, perhaps longer. If I only prepare some now, some might perish before then. So, I plan to capture a greater number, enough so they can continuously reproduce. This way, I will always have fresh material to study.”
The Chaos City Master nodded. “Understood. This is simple; prepare some World Rings and house them within a single world. What is your requirement for the strength level of the beings?”
“From the weakest up to the Sector Lord level,” Luo Feng specified. “The stronger the life form, the more arduous the dissection process. Even reaching the Sector Lord level might take a very long time.”
“Good, I will arrange it immediately.” The Chaos City Master did not dare to take the request lightly.
“Even in the capture, there is no need for excess,” Luo Feng cautioned. “For every race, capture only a small number, just enough to sustain their proliferation. My research will not harm their lives; I need a wide variety, but for each variety, only a few units are necessary.”
Luo Feng worried that his actions might lead to the extinction of certain races.
After all, if the Chaos City Master gave the order, the numerous Universe Masters under the Hong Alliance acting in unison might indeed wipe out some smaller races. Therefore, Luo Feng gave prior notice to capture only a limited quantity.
“Teacher!” Luo Feng continued. “I must return to the Cosmic Sea now. Teacher, you absolutely must not reveal my whereabouts while I am gone.”
“You mean…” The Chaos City Master instantly understood. “You want them to believe you are still aboard the Cosmic Ark?”
“Correct,” Luo Feng nodded. “If news of my return to the Primal Universe gets out, if the major powers learn I have left the Cosmic Ark, I fear… the Lord of Thunder’s Flight might escape. Although the probability of him escaping is small, I cannot gamble! After all, if he enters the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe, I will have absolutely no recourse left.”
“I see,” the Chaos City Master nodded. He understood why Luo Feng had chosen to meet him within the Endless Nether Sea.
The Endless Nether Sea was Luo Feng’s domain.
By appearing here, virtually no one knew that Luo Feng’s true body had made a trip back to the Primal Universe.
“During this period, I won’t bring out the Universe Barrier Cone set either,” the Chaos City Master said with a knowing smile. “Not until you have dealt with the Lord of Thunder’s Flight.”
Luo Feng smiled and shook his head. “It depends on luck. I don't know if the wings of the Lord of Thunder’s Flight are what I need.”
“Teacher, I must depart.”
After bidding farewell, Luo Feng soon left the Human territory and plunged back into the Cosmic Sea, heading toward the Inclined Wind Realm.
Progressing through the Inclined Wind Realm would still require an immense amount of time. Meanwhile, in the distant reaches of the vast Cosmic Sea—a region where no powerhouse had ever charted the boundaries, and where flying too deep risked the 'Danger of Being Lost'—
Far, far away in the Cosmic Sea, in regions never reached by the experts of the Three Great Reincarnation Eras or the Two Great Holy Lands—
Boom~~~~
Amidst endless chaotic currents, a colossal entity transformed into a blinding radiance, advancing at extreme velocity. Its speed far surpassed a million, even ten million times the speed of light; conventional speed limits were meaningless. Merely observing its sheer size, it appeared slightly larger than a small universe. If one looked closely, this ‘colossal entity’—larger than a small universe—seemed vaguely like a recumbent body shaped similarly to a human.
This ‘humanoid entity’ larger than a small universe continued its stable flight at this incredible velocity, moving in a straight line…
At this moment, this behemoth was steadily flying toward the direction of the ‘Primal Universe.’ This is the second chapter of today’s five chapters!
