Chapter 1179: The Giant Axe

“Passing through samsara ensures eternal existence?” Luo Feng murmured. This so-called samsara trial must also be a great secret of the Cosmic Sea.

“However, it’s still far beyond my reach.”

“Three cosmic samsara eras—I haven’t even lived a fraction of that time yet.” Luo Feng then buried these thoughts deep within his heart. Scanning the grain of sand space through the Golden Nation, he found nothing unusual. Thus, Luo Feng left this grain of sand space aboard the Star Tower.

First, he spent a considerable amount of time exploring the lava flow cave. However, his luck did not hold. Furthermore, based on the messages left by the powerful figures ‘Jie Fan Zi’ and ‘Zhen Lin’ from an unknown cycle of reincarnation, the lava flow cave area was already within the core region. In such a place, even a Cosmic Sovereign could meet their demise.

“I was lucky enough to discover a remnant left by Jie Fan Zi from a distant samsara era—that’s already fortunate. This core region isn’t a place for me to recklessly wander now. If the Star Tower gets trapped somewhere and I can never escape, I’ll regret it too late.” Luo Feng immediately decided to return, retracing his previous path through the cave channels.

The journey back was very easy.

Previously, he had clearly recorded the route. Riding the Star Tower, Luo Feng quickly returned to the ‘Feathered Space.’ Without even acknowledging the ‘White Feather Spirit’s furious shouts and curses, he flew for over two months, crossing the entire Feathered Space… Finally returning to the earliest cave.

Upon reaching the water region, Luo Feng had no desire to explore for treasures. He immediately began his journey back to the Original Universe.

A month later, in the Original Universe, human territory, Earth.

In a corner of a casual restaurant in one of the cities on the Asian continent, a black-haired young man in casual clothes sat with a teapot and teacup, pouring himself tea and sipping leisurely.

“Investing in the Moyaxing System, initially partnering with that system’s local emperor, was supposed to make things easier. Giving him 10% equity was a huge mistake! That local emperor of a single system is too greedy, constantly embezzling… Hmph, does he really think we can’t touch him because of the distance from the Qianwu Cosmic Nation? Hmph, taking him down would be effortless! If it weren’t for this family test, every move I make is being evaluated by the family, I would have already destroyed him through the upper echelons.”

“Not quite there yet, not quite there yet—I’m still not a Domain Lord.”

“It’s not easy, I bribed three life planets just to have children on Earth!”

Various conversations filled the restaurant.

Luo Feng couldn’t help but smile. Those living on Earth were all from the Earth human lineage—elite families. Listening to their trivial talks in a restaurant was enough to draw conclusions.

“Ah Feng,” a voice called out.

Luo Feng looked up.

A middle-aged man with a humble demeanor walked over, smiled at Luo Feng, and sat opposite him.

“Wei Wen,” Luo Feng also smiled.

“Can’t they hear us?” Wei Wen glanced around.

“In their memories, our existence won’t be retained,” Luo Feng directly replied.

“Amazing,” Wei Wen gave a thumbs-up.

“Don’t you know who I am?” Luo Feng teased.

“You’re the best,” Wei Wen said. “Who doesn’t know that Luo Feng is incredibly capable.”

“Why choose this place?” Wei Wen asked.

“Listen more, watch more. Living on Earth, all are elites of the Earth human lineage. From their conversations, one can also sense the overall situation of the Earth human lineage,” Luo Feng explained.

Wei Wen nodded.

“Wei Wen, why are you still at the ninth stage of Domain Lord? With the resources I’ve given you, reaching Immortality should be easy,” Luo Feng said. Wei Wen and Luo Feng had been close friends since childhood, their bond as deep as with his brother Luo Hua. When Luo Feng was serving as the Inspector of the Qianwu Branch…

Wei Wen had already been a Stellar-Level cultivator, later quickly advancing to Cosmic-Level. In supplying resources, Luo Feng generously provided for his parents, wife, brother Luo Hua, and Wei Wen, ensuring they could at least reach Immortality. However, for his sons Luo Ping and Luo Hai, the requirements were much stricter.

As for countless descendants like grandchildren…

They had to rely on themselves.

There was no such thing as unlimited supply. For example, some of Luo Feng’s childhood friends on Earth, although he helped those closer to him, the assistance was still limited.

“This isn’t too early. Domain Lords can live for a million years; I still have plenty of time. Alright, I’ll cultivate to World Lord later,” Wei Wen said.

“That’s the way.”

Although Luo Feng’s status continuously rose, he never put on airs with his close friends. Because he always treated them equally, Wei Wen, despite knowing Luo Feng’s current high status, could still chat casually with him due to their long-standing friendship and Luo Feng’s usual demeanor.

Drinking tea and chatting with Wei Wen until nightfall, they finally parted ways.

Walking on the street, Luo Feng’s thoughts were in turmoil.

“I now have three things to do.”

“First, I need to subdue the White Feather, but I must temper my will to reach the Cosmic Sovereign’s level. All three forbidden lands have places to temper one’s will.”

“Second, Jie Fan Zi’s legacy. Jie Fan Zi, I know your power is strong. You left the map and token in the core of Qing Feng Realm… but leaving your treasure in the depths of the Cosmic Vessel, isn’t that tormenting me?”

“Third, Master Zuoshanke. From the damaged White Feather to the powerful Jie Fan Zi and Zhen Lin of a distant reincarnation era attempting to transcend the cycle of rebirth, and so on—even Cosmic Sovereigns face numerous troubles. Yet, under such circumstances, Master Zuoshanke still expends so much effort nurturing disciples and even bestows a supreme treasure upon one. I simply cannot believe there isn’t some hidden scheme behind it,” Luo Feng pondered.

Master Zuoshanke’s plans were deeply etched in Luo Feng’s mind.

Although he respected and trusted Master Zuoshanke… he still needed to remain vigilant, not allowing himself to be sold while helping the seller count money.

“Master Zuoshanke’s matter is still far off. Regardless, the stronger my power, the more means I have to deal with various predicaments,” Luo Feng thought. “Now, I must enhance my strength.”

“Subdue the White Feather.”

“Moreover, the White Feather is already damaged and needs to consume a large amount of precious materials to recover. Jie Fan Zi’s legacy treasure will just be used to restore the White Feather.” Luo Feng’s plan was well thought out, but obviously, both the White Feather and Jie Fan Zi’s treasure were not easy to obtain. Previously, Jie Fan Zi’s token was actually placed in a very dangerous location.

It was in the core of Qing Feng Realm… Fortunately, Luo Feng was lucky enough to discover the treasure while riding the Star Tower up the cave’s current.

However, obtaining the treasure in the ‘Cosmic Vessel’ would not have such an easy shortcut.

There was a map, but he had to go in person!

“Alright!”

“Since that’s the case, I’ll choose the Cosmic Vessel as the place to temper my will,” Luo Feng mused. “Before acting, I must gather more information about the Cosmic Vessel. That’s one of the three forbidden lands. Venturing deeper, even Master Chaos might perish. I can’t act recklessly either.”

It was clear that Jie Fan Zi’s legacy treasure was not intended for any disciple, but rather for a certain powerhouse of the same level.

Because the placement, whether in the core of Qing Feng Realm or the depths of the Cosmic Vessel, even Master Chaos’s abilities couldn’t guarantee safe passage.

“Samsara.”

“It seems Qing Feng Realm’s depths contain samsara.”

“Perhaps many Cosmic Sovereigns left treasures or failed in their samsara attempts, leaving behind treasures in the depths.” Luo Feng guessed that the core area probably had many remnants from past Cosmic Sovereigns, but he dared not recklessly search for them.

Luo Feng began gathering information about the Cosmic Vessel.

In the vast Cosmic Sea, within the inner domain of Qing Feng Realm’s main mountain, amidst howling cold winds in the void, two figures stood.

“Master Chaos, today you will fight whether you want to or not,” a golden-armored figure with three faces and eight arms, each holding a divine hammer, invoked a secret technique, causing a giant hammer illusion to appear behind the golden armor.

“A secret technique illusion?” Master Chaos, clad in golden robes, looked from afar. “You’re from the Purple Moon Holy Land. I’ve never seen you or heard of your information. You must be stepping out of the Holy Land’s universe for the first time. Could this trial battle be against me?”

In the Cosmic Sea, there are two Holy Land universes.

The slightly smaller one is known as the Purple Moon Holy Land.

“Indeed, Master Chaos, that’s correct. Yes, my trial battle is against you,” declared the golden-armored powerhouse with three faces and eight arms, his visage simultaneously displaying fierce, kind, and cold expressions as he confronted Master Chaos with his most ferocious countenance. “When selecting an opponent, I always choose the strongest. Lesser Cosmic Lords hold no interest for me.”

(Note: The translation maintains the original’s martial arts/fantasy tone while smoothing the phrasing. Key adjustments:

1. “强者” is translated as “powerhouse” to convey both strength and status.

2. “faced” expanded to “confronted…with his most ferocious countenance” for dramatic clarity

3. “I have no interest in weaker” strengthened to “hold no interest for me” to match the speaker’s arrogance

4. Added “declared” to reinforce the character’s authoritative delivery)

“Truly troublesome, let’s begin,” Master Chaos said.

“Alright, I want to see just how powerful the renowned Master Chaos truly is among the elite of our Holy Land,” declared the golden-armored warrior as he instantly vanished, launching his attack.

“Boom~~~”

It was as though a colossal wheel was slowly advancing. The eight divine hammers, varying in size, all blurred into illusions, merging with the ‘giant hammer illusion’ behind the golden-armored powerhouse, solidifying into one enormous divine hammer! The hammer drifted forward slowly, crushing every inch of space, causing each fragment to collapse.

“Coming in with your strongest secret technique immediately,” Master Chaos slightly shook his head.

“Chaos, open,” Master Chaos countered with a palm strike.

His palm rapidly expanded, transforming into a golden giant hand. Within the palm, a universe gradually emerged, separating Chaos into the elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and lightning.

“Bang!”

The massive golden hand directly struck the apocalyptic divine hammer.

Boom~~~

The colossal hammer instantly crumbled and dispersed, reverting to the golden-armored warrior with three faces and eight arms. He was hurled far away, crashing into a distant, howling icy gale that completely froze him solid. Then, with a resounding *boom*, the ice shattered, and the golden-armored warrior emerged, exclaiming directly, “Incredible, incredible! No wonder you are Master Chaos—the one the Ancestor hailed as the most likely successor to the Cosmic Sovereign. A single palm strike from you was enough to defeat me. I was far too arrogant!”

Boom!

A streak of light flashed, and the strong one had already departed.

“The most likely next Cosmic Sovereign?” Master Chaos murmured softly, shaking his head with a sigh. “The Ancestors of the two Holy Land universes have not been seen for three samsara eras. Yet the Purple Moon Ancestor spoke so highly of me, prompting the powerful figures of the Purple Moon Holy Land to frequently challenge me in trial battles.”

It was too common.

Master Chaos often encountered challengers from the two Holy Lands. In terms of divine body, he was far less formidable than existences like the Star River Lord. His divine body was merely average in size, unable to compare with the extraordinary special lives.

Yet, Master Chaos’s combat power was universally recognized as formidable! And he was considered very likely to become a Cosmic Sovereign.

“Chaos, Chaos.”

“Hahaha, I’ve struck gold! By chance, I obtained the supreme treasure ‘Axe,’ and it has already recognized me as its master. Hahaha, tell the other Cosmic Lords of humanity. This is a great joy for our human race, hahaha…” At this moment, the Founder of the Axe transmitted a message to Master Chaos through the Virtual Universe.

“Supreme treasure? Axe has obtained a supreme treasure?” Master Chaos was immediately filled with excitement. This was a grand event for the entire human race. Without hesitation, he immediately shared the news with the other Cosmic Lords of humanity.

Soon, Luo Feng, the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Void Gold, and others all received the news, each one deeply shocked and excited!
