The World Beast Mo Luo Sa was not unfamiliar with Universe Masters; many True Gods dispatched avatars of Universe Masters who lacked 'souls' to scout, yet none employed 'Space XXX,' nor did any possess an aura so terrifyingly intense.
"You are..." The World Beast Mo Luo Sa fixed its gaze on the man in golden armor stepping through the void in the distance. "Humanity's Galaxy Lord Luo Feng?"
"Indeed." Luo Feng recalled his vessel, studying the World Beast Mo Luo Sa closely.
"I hear you are the paramount expert in the entire Starry Sea, a mere Universe Master who became the strongest." The World Beast Mo Luo Sa stared at Luo Feng and sneered, "It seems the other True Gods of your Starry Sea are too weak to let a Universe Master like you claim the top spot." Despite these words, the World Beast Mo Luo Sa had already ceased devouring origin energy, and the twisting rays of light began to swirl around its body; clearly, the World Beast was extremely cautious and wary.
After all, reputation precedes reality.
How could it dare look down upon the human before it?
"We'll know once we fight," Luo Feng activated Annihilation, roaring! Boom! Boom! Boom! He unleashed the first three volumes, causing his divine power aura upon burning to become exceptionally potent, surpassing even the aura of a True God burning their divine power.
This was because True Gods generally only possessed a single-layer Divine Power Secret Art.
Only a very select few held a second layer.
"Whoosh~~~" Luo Feng, encased in golden armor, waved his right hand, and suddenly, a chain shimmering with layers of emerald light materialized out of thin air. This massive chain coiled around Luo Feng’s body in successive loops.
"A mere Universe Master..." the World Beast scoffed, yet its blood-red eyes watched Luo Feng with intense scrutiny.
The two stood facing each other from afar, observing one another.
Suddenly, the World Beast opened its massive maw, emitting no sound.
But a silent scream reverberated through Luo Feng's soul.
In terms of willpower, Luo Feng surpassed even the Nine-Headed Demon God! In terms of energy, under triple burning, Luo Feng dominated the Starry Sea! In terms of secret arts, Luo Feng possessed the legacies of both the Jin Clan and Duan Donghe! This so-called soul shock was nothing more than a gentle breeze brushing his face—utterly beneath his notice.
"Go!" Luo Feng, completely unaffected, violently drew the colossal chain wrapped around him.
Clang!
The chain, like a gigantic serpent, sprang into the air, twisting and soaring across the vast expanse. Simultaneously, endless snowflakes began to drift from the surrounding space, blanketing an area of ten light-years, and even time and space were subjected to immense restraint. In that instant, Luo Feng had deployed two supreme treasures.
One was the chain, an attack-type Mechanical Flow weapon named the 'Jade Smoke Chain.'
The second was a domain-type Mechanical Flow treasure called the 'Snowflake World,' possessing both domain effects and the ability to control time and space, already rivaling the might of the 'Golden Kingdom,' and perhaps slightly surpassing it.
Having existed for trillions of epochs, Luo Feng had naturally procured numerous treasures from the Jin World; this time, he was fully prepared.
Though not as comprehensively equipped as in his other endeavors, the sheer quantity of treasures accompanying this Jin-Horned Luo Feng iteration was enough to make even the True Master of the Divine Eye look up in awe.
...
As the Snowflake World descended, it felt as if they had departed the Chaotic Void and entered a realm of pure white snow.
Snowflakes drifted everywhere.
The World Beast Mo Luo Sa stood within, enveloped by swirling black mist, with dense, thread-like black strands coiling around its form.
A massive chain sliced through the sky. Suddenly, as the chain traversed the expanse, it seemed to transform into a colossal stream of water! An incomparably thick torrent shot across the heavens. Wherever this stream passed, the space turned faintly green inch by inch, and blades of grass began to sprout in the vicinity. The colossal stream slammed directly into the 'World Beast Mo Luo Sa.'
Smack!!!
Moving at extreme speed, this seemingly soft lash possessed unimaginable force. The giant water-stream formed by the chain struck down, causing the entire World Beast Mo Luo Sa to instantly yield with a smack, its form denting deeply, its head even sinking inward, making it look like a lump of smelted gold.
"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"
The massive column of water hammered down repeatedly, blurring into afterimages.
Luo Feng watched from a distance, his divine power burned to its limit, activating the secret markings on the Mechanical Flow treasure, unleashing the secret technique he himself created: Sprout of Water and Wood. This move centered on the concept of 'endless vitality.' As the water column struck again and again, the surrounding Snowflake World bloomed with tiny green shoots, an endless surge of vitality constantly spreading, suppressing the World Beast Mo Luo Sa.
And the relentless barrage turned the World Beast into a flattened pancake, yet it refused to shatter.
"Roar~~" A roar of absolute fury erupted.
The World Beast Mo Luo Sa was enraged; it had been instantly suppressed by this assault. Under the repeated strikes of the 'Jade Smoke Chain,' its strength was constantly being depleted.
"Go!" The World Beast roared, turning its gaze towards Luo Feng in the distance.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~
The black strands encircling the World Beast Mo Luo Sa all rapidly enveloped Luo Feng. The black threads moved at terrifying speeds, completely unhindered by the speed limits of the Starry Sea, instantly reaching Luo Feng’s vicinity and heavily surrounding him, wrapping him into a cocoon of black misty silk!
...
Inside the cocoon.
Luo Feng was completely sealed within. This cocoon could expand or contract, fitting him perfectly, and was beginning to devour his divine power.
"The speed is indeed incredible," Luo Feng nodded slightly. "Once deployed, it surrounds you instantly... The former True Master Fire Insect couldn't evade it; there was no way to dodge this move."
Luo Feng's divine body rapidly shrank.
The black mist cocoon followed suit, shrinking quickly.
"Bigger, bigger, bigger!" Luo Feng’s divinely-burned power resisted the surrounding black mist cocoon frantically. Even for the World Beast Mo Luo Sa, devouring such violently burning divine power was difficult.
As Luo Feng expanded, the black mist cocoon instantly swelled to a height of one hundred million kilometers.
...
The World Beast Mo Luo Sa manipulated it from afar, but sensing it couldn't consume much divine power, it grew anxious. Seeing the immediate scale of one hundred million kilometers, it realized the danger: "He intends to break out forcefully! I refuse to believe it. My strength is far greater than before; he cannot escape..."
"Break!"
"Break!"
As Luo Feng roared from within the cocoon of black mist, the colossal chain suspended high above instantly changed from soft to perfectly straight, like a long spear. Whoosh! The dazzling chain-spear carved a searing white streak, and where it passed, space didn't shatter but displayed concentric, strangely rotating ripples.
At the same moment, inside the black mist cocoon, Luo Feng also lashed out a claw—the claw sharp as a blade, yet utterly silent. Where it passed, space collapsed inch by inch.
One attack without, one attack within.
The chain-spear outside, the sharp claw inside—both were Mechanical Flow treasures.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Internal and external strikes!
The black mist cocoon shuddered violently, revealing a minute crack, but it immediately sealed itself again. Luo Feng remained trapped.
"He didn't escape," Luo Feng expressed surprise. "This is unexpected. One attack inside, one outside, deploying two major Mechanical Flow treasures simultaneously, fueled by my burning divine power... I should have been able to break free. It seems I need to expend more divine power."
The method of this black mist cocoon was well-known to the many experts in the Starry Sea.
Breaking free relying solely on weapon attacks was difficult, but Luo Feng estimated it should be possible. For instance, the tiny fissure he had just created suggested his current assault was slightly insufficient.
The usual method for breaking free was engaging in a power drain against the World Beast's energy using divine power! Sacrificing one thousand to kill the enemy's one thousand! Such a war of attrition would rapidly consume the energy contained within the black mist cocoon, causing the World Beast’s supply to lag, naturally weakening its defense, or even causing collapse.
...
"Trying to break out?" The World Beast Mo Luo Sa laughed triumphantly when Luo Feng failed to emerge, but the smile instantly froze.
"Boom!"
The divine power of the 'Luo Feng' trapped within the giant black mist cocoon, towering one hundred million kilometers high, poured out wildly without passing through the conversion of Mechanical Flow treasures. This unrestrained outpouring was like water meeting fire, sizzling fiercely~~~ The energy contained within the black mist cocoon was being annihilated frantically.
A mutual, desperate drain!
"Break for me!" Luo Feng thrust both hands forward, resembling claws. As his claws extended, vague beast roars sounded, and two phantom beasts coiled around his hands. He grabbed the black mist cocoon directly and violently tore it toward opposite sides.
Riiip!
The black mist cocoon was already undergoing a frantic drain against Luo Feng’s divine power. Maintaining a height of one hundred million kilometers, the energy drain required for a cocoon of that size against such power was staggering; even the World Beast Mo Luo Sa’s expression changed. The cocoon’s energy expenditure was too vast, its restraint naturally weakened, and Luo Feng tore it apart effortlessly with his hands. Although he was using a secret technique, it felt like using an ox-goad to kill a chicken; at this point, there was no need for such finesse.
Tearing the black mist cocoon with both hands, Luo Feng strode out through the void.
"World Beast, is that all you have?" Luo Feng instantly transformed into a stream of light and shot directly toward the distant World Beast.
The World Beast Mo Luo Sa’s expression shifted. After all, it was not yet the ultimate king. The greatest function of a World Beast Queen was 'gestation,' birthing vast numbers of super-soldiers; the World Beasts themselves rarely fought, resulting in weaker combat capabilities, though their survivability was supreme.
"My power has increased, yet he broke out so easily. How could a Universe Master possess so much divine power? The power drained in that single moment of mutual attrition... must equal that of a True God hundreds of thousands of kilometers high." The World Beast Mo Luo Sa immediately decided to flee. "It seems my strength is still insufficient; I must devour more small universes to become stronger."
"Go!"
With a roar, the World Beast Mo Luo Sa’s entire body manifested patterns edged in black and structured with gold—ninety-nine grand patterns in total. Then, with a loud crash, its body exploded, transforming into ninety-nine streams of light that fled in all directions.
Luo Feng frowned slightly: "We've barely exchanged blows, and he flees immediately upon sensing he’s outmatched? Too cowardly."
"Cosmic Chain!" Luo Feng commanded directly.
Whoosh!
The thick chain that had been suspended high above began to rotate rapidly, surprisingly decomposing into thousands of slender chains. Although tens of thousands of thin chains flew about, one end of every chain remained connected together. Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~ The myriad fine chains danced across the sky like thousands of giant serpents, rapidly extending in all directions to cover the expanse, much like an umbrella suddenly snapping open. In an instant, it seemed as if the entire universe was enveloped.
How could a body splitting apart to flee compare to the flight speed of a Mechanical Flow treasure?
The World Beast Mo Luo Sa’s ninety-nine avatars all sensed the light dimming; they had entered a miniature universe constructed entirely of endless chains.
