Luo Feng listened in secret alarm. Fortunately, the spirit of the Shattered Wu Wings had been born; otherwise, even if he had known about the opponent’s scheme, he might still have struggled to uncover every trap.
“Human,” came the ripple, “grab that core component.”
Whoosh~~~
The distant speck, being tossed about by the endless storm of blade light, suddenly felt attracted and rapidly flew toward the white wings. Since the Star Tower was very close to the white wings—less than 15 kilometers away—the speck drew closer to the Star Tower as it neared the white wings.
“Grab it. I will tell you exactly how to establish a master bond and imprint divine power into it,” the ripple conveyed.
“I’ve grabbed it,” Luo Feng said from within the Star Tower. His divine power seeped out and instantly seized the speck, which turned out to be a strange white pearl. “My divine power has already grasped it, but I can’t imprint my life mark onto it at all.”
“Don’t rush.”
The white wings rippled, “The more powerful a treasure is, the more complex its master recognition process. First, grab my core component, then integrate it into your divine body…” This caused Luo Feng to secretly sneer. If the core component were outside, it would be fine, but once it entered the Star Tower and came before him, it would likely unleash the light hidden within and strike instantly.
“Integrate it into my body? Without certainty, I dare not do that. So I have decided to let my soul servant try first,” Luo Feng said.
“Soul servant? Your soul servant won’t succeed,” the spirit of the white wings replied. “Master recognition requires a perfect life gene level and extremely high willpower. An immortal must possess the will of a Cosmic Sovereign, and a Cosmic Sovereign must possess the will of a Cosmic Monarch. Do you have such a soul servant?”
“No, but at least I can try. At worst, it will just fail,” Luo Feng said.
“Then proceed,” the spirit of the white wings replied.
It silently waited…
Waiting for Luo Feng to bring the component into the Star Tower. Once the pearl approached Luo Feng without the obstruction of the Star Tower, it could kill him instantly.
…
The Star Tower first retreated, moving backward until it was thousands of kilometers away from the white wings.
Swish!
A black figure flew out from the Star Tower, hovering in midair outside—it was the Mosha Clan clone.
“By my master’s command, I will attempt to establish a master bond,” the Mosha clone flew toward the pearl.
It was known that the space spanning tens of thousands of kilometers around the white wings was eerily silent, without any blade storm, so the Mosha clone could exist in such space.
“You, you are allowing your soul servant to attempt master recognition outside?” the white wings’ spirit exclaimed in shock. If it were outside, it couldn’t attack Luo Feng directly, at most killing a soul servant.
“What? Not allowed?” Luo Feng countered.
The Mosha clone had already begun attempting to establish a master bond, but obviously achieved nothing—no reaction at all.
“Only those who meet the criteria can trigger a response from the core component. Your servant is utterly incapable of success, let alone triggering any reaction,” the white wings’ spirit said.
“Why didn’t you mention this earlier when my soul servant was examining it? You only spoke up after my soul servant emerged,” Luo Feng pressed further. “Moreover, even if master recognition for a powerful treasure is challenging, other powerful beings could still attempt it—at worst, they’d fail. It shouldn’t show absolutely no reaction whatsoever. Yet when my soul servant tried, there was no response at all. I dare say… you’re a fake. Show me the real core.”
“Supreme treasures are different.”
“But I dare say you’re deceiving me,” Luo Feng said. “Show me the real core.”
The ripple fell silent for a moment.
“You’re stuck here, you must have a master eventually. Show me your true core,” Luo Feng said. “Once my servant tests it, I will naturally establish the master bond.”
“Damn it!”
“Damn it, damn it, you wretched human!” Suddenly a furious roar surged forth. “Tell me, how did you figure it out? How did you discover this?”
“So you’re finally dropping the act?” Luo Feng sneered.
…
“You’re too clever for your own good,” Luo Feng sneered. “The first time we communicated, you probably started laying your trap. First, you used your broken memories as an excuse, saying you were damaged in battle with your previous master… First shocking me, yes, I was indeed shocked that such a supreme treasure could be damaged!”
“Then you told me how strict the master recognition conditions were—perfect genes, high willpower requirements.”
“Finally, you asked me to offer top-tier treasures.”
“Hahaha…”
“One trap after another, probably to lower my guard. After all, you kept throwing conditions at me as if creating obstacles,” Luo Feng mocked. “Most strong individuals are cheap—they easily suspect treasures that come too easily, but if you set up a series of harsh conditions, they become more excited after overcoming each one and won’t suspect anything.”
“How did you suspect me?” the white wings’ spirit asked.
“You said you needed my help, that you urgently required materials from me to repair yourself,” Luo Feng sneered. “Then you said the master recognition conditions were extremely strict, even claiming my willpower was only at the Cosmic Sovereign level and needed improvement.”
“Contradiction? Where’s the contradiction?”
The white wings’ spirit still hadn’t noticed the issue.
“Assume I really were a Cosmic Sovereign,” Luo Feng said. “With my divine power strength, that would mean a hundredfold life gene level.”
“A hundredfold life gene, yet you say it must be perfect. Forget the willpower requirement—just this alone is an extremely difficult hurdle. With such a huge gap, how could I possibly achieve perfect genes?” Luo Feng sneered. “So discouraging—if I were a real Cosmic Sovereign, I’d probably lose heart and give up helping you entirely. Contradictory or not?”
“And you needed my help, pretending to treat me as a Cosmic Sovereign.”
“But the conditions you set would discourage any real Cosmic Sovereign from helping you further. Contradictory or not?” Luo Feng mocked.
“Ha ha…”
“There’s more contradiction.”
“Right, you set up this trap as if you were thinking for me. If I were excited, knowing I met the conditions, I naturally wouldn’t notice. But you forgot… if you viewed it from my perspective, your words would seem very problematic. You basically made yourself look like an idiot,” Luo Feng sneered.
…
The white wings’ trap, if one were inside it, was generally hard to detect. However, Luo Feng had been cautious from the start, allowing him to notice this small flaw.
“Your trap was too complicated, revealing its weakness.”
“Stop struggling. Hand over the core,” Luo Feng said. “You will eventually need a master.”
“As for you… wanting to be my master? You’re far too inferior. To be my master, one must be the absolute top in the entire Cosmic Sea. If you were my master, I’d never be able to unleash my power for countless eons. That would be my disgrace, and my previous master’s disgrace,” the ripple roared.
“Truly disappointing.”
Luo Feng shook his head in sigh.
“Absorb it,” Luo Feng ordered.
“Yes, Master,” Shattered Wu had been waiting patiently.
Boom~~~~~
Suddenly, from four of the Star Tower’s originally shrunken channel exits, four wings extended… and began rapidly expanding. The silver wings, initially the size of a speck of dust, grew larger and larger, surpassing even stars, instantly expanding to hundreds of millions of kilometers wide. It was as if the Star Tower had sprouted four wings.
“Light, light, source of light,” Shattered Wu was excited.
Boom~~~~~
In the mysterious space, the towering, dazzling giant light wings suddenly trembled, and the countless blades of light began vibrating, as if an immense skyscraper were shaking, about to collapse.
“No—” the white wings cried out in alarm. “Spirit? Your wings have a spirit too? How is that possible?”
The countless blades of light scattered from the edges of the giant light wings, as if blown by wind, suddenly changed direction, flying directly toward the four silver wings. Like moths to a flame, the countless blades flew toward them, and the entire giant light wings trembled, as if the endless dense blades were beginning to move.
“No!”
“No!” The spirit of the white wings desperately tried to control the blades while sending a ripple toward Shattered Wu’s wings. “You, stop.”
“Why stop?” Shattered Wu replied simply.
“This energy is mine, mine,” the white wings’ spirit said.
“We were originally one. What’s yours is also mine. Although you were more severely damaged, I was also damaged. I also need energy to recover. Don’t worry, I won’t take it all—I only need enough to fully recover from the damage of that battle long ago,” Shattered Wu eagerly absorbed the blades of light.
One desperately tried to control.
The other desperately tried to absorb.
However, there were simply too many blades of light; the white wings’ spirit couldn’t control them all.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~”
Endless blades of light wildly flew toward the massive four silver wings. Upon contact, they were completely absorbed, like water hitting a parched riverbed. The four massive wings began to glow with threads of light, their aura subtly changing. This was just the exterior—profound changes were occurring internally.
Luo Feng, as the master of Shattered Wu’s wings, could naturally sense these changes.
Shattered Wu’s wings were extremely sophisticated; expanding to several light-years in size was normal. Originally, countless tiny components within the wings rapidly transformed after absorbing the blade light, like decaying wood suddenly becoming fresh and new.
“Ahh, so comfortable!” Shattered Wu seemed very excited. “Master, my shattered memories have become a bit clearer.”
“Hmm?” Luo Feng was curious.
“I vaguely remember that battle was terrifying. That battle completely disintegrated my wing treasure. The white wings were the top pair, directly wounded. Our other five pairs were also internally damaged from the shock, and over countless eons, endured through some terrifying environments. They looked fine externally, but were deeply damaged inside. My wing treasure should be able to recover on its own, but it needed energy.”
“Your divine power strength as a master wasn’t enough to restore it. The Source Light was transformed from the previous master’s divine power, completely capable of healing internal damage. Only the white wings, which were severely damaged, needed to consume other materials to recover.”
Shattered Wu’s four wings continued expanding.
Hundreds of millions of kilometers, billions of kilometers, hundreds of billions of kilometers…
One light-year, two light-years…
They expanded wildly, the larger the wings, the more blade light they absorbed. Countless blades of light, like moths to a flame, poured into the silver wings, never to return. This caused Shattered Wu’s wings to emit an increasingly powerful aura.
“No, no, it’s mine, mine!” The white wings were furious beyond measure. “Stop!”
