In the boundless Cosmic Sea, endless chaotic currents drift.
A silver-winged, black-haired man—flash! flash! flash!—leaves behind afterimages, performing repeated long-distance teleportations through the infinite Cosmic Sea. This is Luo Feng, departing from the Original Universe and heading alone toward the Cosmic Vessel.
It’s different from the first time he went to the Qingfeng Realm.
Though merely over a thousand years have passed, previously in the ‘Feather Space,’ he absorbed a vast amount of Origin energy, repairing many hidden damages within the Shi Wu Wings, bringing them to a perfect state. Once a hazy golden glow spreads, the power is so immense that even Luo Feng himself is astonished. As the saying goes, no matter how many techniques others possess, nothing beats mastering one technique to perfection!
Other strong individuals might excel in attacks, defense, physical strength, secret techniques, etc.
But no matter how many weaknesses he has, merely combining the ‘Perfect Shi Wu Wings,’ ‘Flame Sand Cup,’ and ‘Micro Universe’ would be enough to sweep away all other peak Domain Treasures. He can strike when he wants and retreat when he wishes. Everything is under his control.
“It’s really exciting.”
“Once my will is honed to the level of a Cosmic God, I can return to the Qingfeng Realm and retrieve that white wing.” Luo Feng couldn’t help but feel anticipation.
While leisurely thinking aimlessly, he continued to teleport at high frequency over long distances.
Hua!
Suddenly, he stopped.
“A natural wormhole.” Luo Feng looked toward the massive twisted spatial vortex in the distance and a slight smile appeared on his face. Traveling through the Cosmic Sea was too dull. Everywhere was just chaotic currents. Sometimes he teleported continuously for one or two days, maintaining an almost extreme high-frequency teleportation. There was no distinction of up, down, left, right, front, or back—only the eternal chaotic currents…
It was indeed monotonous.
So when he saw this natural wormhole, it was like a splash of green on a blank sheet of paper.
“This journey to the Cosmic Vessel, I’m afraid I’ll have to stay there for a very long time.” Luo Feng murmured softly. Before heading there, he had already studied a vast amount of information about the Cosmic Vessel to determine where he should go to hone his will. The Cosmic Vessel was too vast, and its inner regions were extremely dangerous. Many areas were unsafe for teleportation. His destination was a place meant for will cultivation.
The Cosmic Vessel was one of the three deadly regions, filled with countless dangers.
Based on the current information available to humanity, there were numerous will-forging locations within the Cosmic Vessel, each with distinct environments. One such site was known as the “Black Veined Stone Pillars,” which humans referred to as the “Towering Demon Pillars.” These were among the countless peculiar objects existing inside the Cosmic Vessel.
There were a total of 16 towering demonic pillars (Black Veined Stone Pillars)!
Each of these 16 pillars was over a thousand light-years tall, with boundless power. No attack could damage them, nor could they be taken away. These 16 Towering Demon Pillars supported a peculiar space. Within this peculiar space were numerous massive chambers, each containing independent spatial domains. Each chamber space corresponded to a black token. Only by possessing the black token could one enter the chamber space.
What Ji Fanzi had left behind was an even rarer green token.
The chamber space corresponding to the green token was even deeper, already at the edge of the inner region and considered part of the core area. Even a Cosmic God would have to be extremely cautious there. Even Sovereigns like the Chaos Lord dared not venture so deep… whereas the Towering Demon Pillars were much closer, significantly less dangerous. At least Sovereigns like the Chaos Lord, the Milky Way Sovereign, the Ice Peak Sovereign, and the An Yong Sovereign, etc., were willing to attempt entering. It would take hundreds or even thousands of years to reach there from the outer regions.
The Towering Demon Pillars were quite mysterious, constantly emitting endless will-pressure. The closer one got, the more terrifying the will-pressure became.
Moreover, the closer one approached the Towering Demon Pillars, the faster time flowed!
Time flow ratio of 100:1? 1000:1?
It was precisely because of the time flow that Luo Feng decided to head toward the Towering Demon Pillars!
After all, merely continuously delving into the inner regions to reach the will-honing location might take hundreds or even thousands of years.
Going and returning would consume a great deal of time.
Not to mention the time required to reach the level of a Cosmic God’s will… The Towering Demon Pillars could save time, naturally making them Luo Feng’s first choice.
“The greatest treasure on the Original Star lies within the Qishen Hall, where there must be many components of peak Domain-level treasures.” Luo Feng had to make a decision. He had obtained a Qijing Stone, giving him the right to enter. But he might not have time to get there. After all, once all 36 Qijing Stones appeared, the Qishen Hall would open.
Anyone possessing a Qijing Stone could enter.
If the Qishen Hall opened while he was at the Towering Demon Pillars, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years to return. By then, the competition for treasures within the Qishen Hall might already be over!
“I placed the Qijing Stone within my Divine Realm.”
“If the Qishen Hall opens and I can return in a short time, I will go myself. Otherwise, I will immediately hand the Qijing Stone to my master and the others. At the very least, I cannot let the Qijing Stone go to waste.” Luo Feng valued the Qijing Stone highly, but comparatively, he valued the damaged white wing even more.
Hua~~~
Luo Feng transformed into a streak of light and flew into the natural wormhole, soon teleporting to a distant location.
…
Time passed.
After spending about 12 days in the boundless Cosmic Sea, he finally arrived at one of the three deadly regions—the Cosmic Vessel.
“This is the Cosmic Vessel ahead.”
Luo Feng continued teleporting for several more minutes.
Suddenly, the scenery changed. The chaotic currents became much thinner, and in the distance, an incredibly breathtaking sight appeared.
“This… this…”
Luo Feng stood in the void, gazing at the unimaginable sight hundreds of millions of light-years away. Even though he had seen images in reference materials, seeing the real ‘Cosmic Vessel’ for the first time still left him deeply awestruck.
The boundless, towering Cosmic Vessel…
It was a massive, broken ship, several million light-years in height and over a hundred million light-years in length. Its entire body was a deep black with alluring purple streaks. Even the ship’s hull… even from hundreds of millions of light-years away, Luo Feng could see countless massive cracks and holes, densely scattered across its surface.
As if the ship had been pierced by countless laser beams and then hacked apart by enormous blades…
It was utterly ruined!
“Boom~~~” A massive suction force erupted from the Cosmic Vessel, frantically devouring the surrounding chaotic currents, making the chaotic currents around it perpetually thin.
By devouring the chaotic currents, the entire Cosmic Vessel constantly emitted boundless power. One could see massive rivers of flame circling around it, and vast seas of cold energy enveloping its surroundings. Within the cold energy, one could faintly see crystal-clear ice that looked like mirrors… At the same time, massive whirlwinds of wind raged around it…
Crack!
Countless enormous electric serpents, each several ten thousand light-years long, surged and roared.
Brilliant rays of various colors shone dazzlingly.
Giant dark green vines climbed across the entire surface of the Cosmic Vessel’s hull, giving it a strangely serene appearance.
…
Flame, cold energy, wind, lightning, vines, light…
On the outermost layer, there were also countless fragments constantly orbiting the Cosmic Vessel at high speed. These were likely fragments that had broken off from the ship’s hull. The countless fragments maintained high-speed movement at all times.
…
This wasn’t what shocked Luo Feng the most.
What shocked him the most was what lay beneath the Cosmic Vessel… Beneath the Cosmic Vessel, there was a dense mass of chaotic energy. Within the spreading chaotic energy, faint glimmers of golden, red, blue, and cyan lightning flickered. Within the chaotic currents was a massive, damaged small universe!
A small universe!
“It really does devour small universes…” Luo Feng was stunned. “The upper half of the small universe is already invisible. Could it have been partially devoured?”
The Cosmic Vessel itself was only about a hundred million light-years long.
This small universe, though damaged, had a maximum diameter of a hundred million light-years as well. If considering its height, the small universe was even larger.
“What is the origin of the Cosmic Vessel?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but wonder. “No other powerhouse can directly absorb chaotic currents. Only small universes can absorb chaotic currents and transform them into cosmic essence energy. However—the Cosmic Vessel can constantly devour chaotic currents and even consume small universes. Moreover, it can transform all absorbed energy into various forms such as gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, time, and space. There are countless chambers within the Cosmic Vessel containing independent spaces. There are also many places where the time flow is strangely distorted.”
“To reach such a level is practically comparable to the essence of a small universe.”
“How was the Cosmic Vessel created? And why is it damaged?”
“However, the legends of the three deadly regions… have existed for countless cycle eras.”
Luo Feng mused inwardly.
Countless powerful beings often discovered relics left behind by ancient Cosmic Gods and uncovered certain clues. Yet, in every cyclical era, records of the three deadly regions have always emerged. The eternity of these three deadly regions already rivals the endless cycles of the Original Universe across generations. No one knows how the three deadly regions came into existence.
…
Luo Feng was awestruck by the scene of the Cosmic Vessel. After teleporting for a long time, he finally arrived at the region where countless high-speed flying fragments of the ‘Cosmic Vessel’ drifted.
Innumerable fragments, some as small as hundreds of thousands of kilometers, others as large as hundreds of light-years.
“Swoosh!”
Luo Feng teleported onto one of the Cosmic Vessel fragments. This fragment had a maximum diameter of about 0.6 light-years. Except for some faint purple patterns, the rest was a deep black. The entire fragment exuded a pressure that made Luo Feng’s heart tremble… and faintly, it seemed connected to the distant Cosmic Vessel.
Through countless ages, innumerable mighty beings had attempted. Yet none could seize even a single shard of the Ark of Cosmos. Even when assailing the fragments with their utmost might, they remained incapable of dislodging them. It was as though invisible tethers bound these fragments eternally to the celestial vessel.
“I have arrived at the Cosmic Vessel. First, I should go check out the human gathering area.” Luo Feng thought.
Figures flickered through the void.
After about five minutes.
Luo Feng teleported onto a twisted Cosmic Vessel fragment flying at high speed. This was the gathering place for humans from the Original Universe within the Cosmic Vessel. Humans had established gathering points in the outer regions of the three deadly regions—the Qingfeng Realm, the Cosmic Vessel, and the Liuzhong Mountains. Because exploration required vigilance and caution, and when fatigue set in after long periods, they would return to these places to rest temporarily.
