City Lord’s Mansion, Chaos Ruins.
After leaving Zhenyan Venerable’s residence, Luo Feng went to see the Chaos City Lord. Deep in his heart, Luo Feng was somewhat dissatisfied that his proposal to exchange half ownership of Earth using a Qijing Stone had been rejected. Yet, he also understood—Chaos City Lord was merely one of over ten Human Race Cosmic Lords, although powerful, he had not reached the level of Founding Axe Creator, where no one dared to resist. Moreover, over these countless eons, Chaos City Lord had always carefully instructed and guided him, making Luo Feng increasingly admire his teacher’s magnanimity and character.
The two teachers, Zhenyan Venerable and Chaos City Lord, were entirely different in personality.
Zhenyan Venerable was straightforward, with a hint of fierceness in his nature. If he cared for someone, he would spare no effort. When he learned Luo Feng was being hunted by King Weijing, despite lacking full confidence, he still rushed forth furiously to fight.
Chaos City Lord, however, was the one managing the grand strategy of the entire Human Race. Most major decisions regarding the rise and prosperity of the Human Race were made by him. He always emphasized fairness, making “consideration for the Race” the fundamental principle in treating his disciples. At least this earned Luo Feng’s deep respect for Chaos City Lord.
……
“Teacher.” Luo Feng respectfully saluted.
The dark red battle armor was ancient and complex in design, with a scaled tail extending from the battle skirt. Underneath a pair of crimson horns was a fierce face covered in mysterious patterns—this was another avatar of Chaos City Lord. Only his eyes were infinitely vast like the starry sky, making one feel immersed without the slightest fear.
“Why did you come to see me?” asked Chaos City Lord.
“Disciple will temporarily leave Human territory. Before departing, I wish to inform my teacher.” Luo Feng replied.
“Oh, so you went to see Zhenyan for this matter as well.” Chaos City Lord nodded slightly. He was stationed in the Primeval Universe, so he could easily know anything happening inside if he wished to. However, he wouldn’t stoop to eavesdropping on the conversation between Luo Feng and Zhenyan Venerable, thus remaining unaware.
“Are you aware of the dangers outside?” Chaos City Lord asked.
“Yes.” Luo Feng nodded seriously. “The Formics, the Beasts, the Machines… all are determined to eliminate me by every means possible.”
“Still want to go out?” Chaos City Lord continued.
Luo Feng nodded.
“Then go. You are no longer weak; every decision should be made by yourself.” Chaos City Lord nodded. “Just remember, you do not represent only yourself, but also your family, and the Earthlings. Remembering this is enough.”
“Yes.” Luo Feng nodded, bowing deeply. “Then disciple will take his leave.”
“Go.”
Chaos City Lord said, “If you encounter danger beyond your ability to resist, crush the token I gave you.”
Luo Feng nodded slightly. With spatial fluctuations, he vanished from the Chaos Ruins.
Within this Chaos Ruins… only Chaos City Lord remained.
“My disciple has been quietly hiding for nearly twenty thousand years. Now that he has reappeared, his strength has grown immensely,” Chaos City Lord murmured silently. “Now he is leaving Human territory again. He must have encountered something extraordinary, and that extraordinary encounter must be somewhere in the universe.”
Chaos City Lord had already guessed this, but he would not interfere with Luo Feng.
In his view…
Luo Feng had the Jiuyou Avatar; even if he suffered a major defeat outside Human territory, he could easily reform and revive, losing only some treasures at most. Since that was the case, Luo Feng’s path should naturally be walked by himself!
“The Formics, the Beasts, the Machines?”
“If they knew Luo Feng had the Jiuyou Avatar, they would probably despair. No matter how great the cost, they could only kill his avatars and obtain some treasures. Kill him? Chaos City Lord was confident. Though skilled in close combat, he was also an absolute master of soul techniques. Within the Primeval Universe he controlled, he could vaguely judge—Luo Feng’s will and consciousness were already no less than a Cosmic Lord’s!
Divine power determines consciousness!
Consciousness also slightly affects will. After cultivating for 180 million years… plus his recent breakthrough to Cosmic Lord, Luo Feng’s consciousness and will had indeed reached the level of a Cosmic Lord.
However, Chaos City Lord had guessed one thing wrong… If the alien races truly killed Luo Feng’s avatar, the treasures they obtained could be “Jie Jia,” “Shi Wu Wings,” “Beast God Armor,” and other transcendent treasures. Obtaining even one of them would be a huge gain for the alien races.
……
After leaving Chaos City, Luo Feng first returned to his own Divine Nation, then used the Divine Nation’s teleportation to directly head to the Star Tower on the battlefield beyond the domain!
Inside the Star Tower, which had stood majestically in the void for countless eons, within the core hall.
A hazy gray light illuminated.
Luo Feng stepped out.
“Star Tower.” Luo Feng glanced around the cold hall. It was here that he had once accepted the life-and-death inheritance.
“My current divine power should be able to activate the Star Tower.”
Boom!
Divine power instantly ignited across Luo Feng’s body. The burning divine power surged along the hall’s floor, spreading layer by layer into the Star Tower’s core, reaching each towering pillar and countless sealing stars. The burning divine power flowed like water in a channel, coursing through the countless mysterious patterns on the pillars and stars. However, the patterns were too complex; Luo Feng understood almost none of them, only vaguely grasping the simplest and most superficial parts. Moments later, the burning divine power permeated every corner of the Star Tower.
“Rise!” Luo Feng shouted in a low voice.
“Buzz~~” The entire Star Tower slightly lifted by 20 centimeters, then slowly descended back by 20 centimeters. Given its colossal size measured in light-years, no one could sense this subtle fluctuation.
Luo Feng withdrew his divine power, while the Gold-Horned Beast avatar within his World Ring was rapidly transmitting divine power to replenish his consumption.
“My Earth human main body is also a Cosmic Lord at 9800 times the life gene level. I feel I can activate the Star Tower now, but the divine power consumption is too high. Without the Gold-Horned Beast’s support, just fully activating it just now consumed nearly 30% of my divine body.” Luo Feng was astonished.
“It seems I understand too little about the Star Tower’s patterns.”
Though powerful divine power could forcefully activate it, the consumption was exaggerated.
If he could master the activation secrets of the Star Tower, it would become much easier.
……
Luo Feng left the core hall and began wandering inside the Star Tower, using its internal teleportation to reach various locations.
The towering pillars… stretching beyond sight.
Luo Feng ran his hand over the giant pattern carvings on the pillars, sighing inwardly, “Truly incredible. Even the most superficial patterns feel so perfect. The countless patterns throughout the entire Star Tower are even more complex and complete than the ‘Microcosmic Universe Pattern Chart.’ Truly… worthy of being the ultimate treasure.”
Walking through various places.
Observing each towering pillar, countless sealing stars, even visiting each ‘space’ within the Star Tower. These spaces contained many alien races fighting and battling. Yet Luo Feng could see the incredibly complex intricacies forming each space.
……
Observing everything, carefully experiencing.
After observing for a full 32 days, Luo Feng returned to the core hall. He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and completely merged his consciousness with the entire Star Tower. All the pattern carvings of the Star Tower appeared in his mind… Luo Feng began his focused research. As the saying goes, sharpening the axe doesn’t delay chopping firewood. The more thoroughly he studied the Star Tower’s patterns… the greater its power he could unleash!
Mysterious!
Complex!
Time, space, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light… it seemed all the threads of laws were interwoven within, perfectly combined. It was ten thousand times more complex than the Microcosmic Universe Pattern Chart. After all, the Microcosmic Universe Pattern Chart was only a few billion kilometers in diameter, while the Star Tower was nine light-years tall!
If the ‘Microcosmic Universe Chart’ was a small room, then the Star Tower was a skyscraper perfectly formed by countless small rooms.
“Fortunately, I am a master of the Pattern Chart school.
“Otherwise, merely understanding space and metal laws, how long would it take to grasp its mysteries?” Sitting cross-legged for nearly three years, Luo Feng finally opened his eyes. “I’ve finally grasped one layer of its mysteries.”
Before, he didn’t understand at all.
But once he truly grasped one layer, he realized the Star Tower was boundless and even more formidable.
“My abilities have only grasped one layer.” Luo Feng looked up at the core hall. “It should be much easier now.”
“Boom!”
Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. Instantly, his entire body ignited with divine power. Infinite divine power rapidly surged and poured in, instantly filling the nine-light-year-tall Star Tower. Now, Luo Feng could fully activate the outermost and simplest first layer of the entire pattern carving, making him feel clearly hundreds or even thousands of times easier than before.
“Before taking it away, I must expel all the alien warriors currently exploring the Star Tower.” Luo Feng thought.
……
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!…
In the lowest levels of the Star Tower, figures from various cosmic races were blasted out one by one through the corridors. In no time, over a million aliens gathered outside the Star Tower, utterly stunned.
“What’s going on?”
“I was still exploring inside moments ago, then I was suddenly teleported to the corridor and blasted out.”
“I was also thrown out.”
“How could the Star Tower expel us?”
Each corridor expelled countless alien warriors. These warriors from different races and factions were not fighting at all now, all staring in shock. Since the Star Tower’s appearance on the battlefield beyond the domain countless eons ago, such a scene had never occurred.
Actually expelling the cultivators inside? Too strange!
“Look, the Nine-Spiral Star Clouds have vanished!”
“The Nine-Spiral Star Clouds have disappeared!” Millions of immortal alien warriors in the void were completely stunned as the infinitely powerful Nine-Spiral Star Clouds directly dissipated.
“Look, the Star Tower is shrinking!”
“It’s shrinking!”
Nine light-years tall, the majestic Star Tower, towering like it covered half the universe, rapidly shrank. The shrinking speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, it went from nine light-years tall to just one kilometer. The one-kilometer-tall Star Tower… then vanished into thin air, completely disappearing.
“The Star Tower has vanished!”
“How is that possible!”
Panic spread.
Immediately, this news spread rapidly back to all races at an incredible speed. Although no one deliberately stirred things up this time, the speed at which the news of the “Star Tower disappearing” spread was even faster than the news of Luo Feng killing the Cosmic Overlord years ago! Because this news was thousands or even millions of times more shocking! An ultimate treasure that had long made countless cosmic races covetous had actually vanished?
