Chapter 1184: Yin Tuo

It had been eleven days since Luo Feng entered the Celestial Ruin Ravine, and he had become increasingly cautious. This was undoubtedly the most terrifying danger he had encountered so far inside the Cosmic Barge. Even without considering the still-unseen Lava Demon God, the Celestial Ruin Ravine itself was a place where even the slightest carelessness could be fatal.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Occasionally, streams of scorching magma fell from the high sky, causing the temperature within the Celestial Ruin Ravine to rise to an unbelievable level, warping space itself. From time to time, massive rocks also plummeted from above.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng, who had been flying with extreme caution, suddenly furrowed his brows. His ‘Golden Kingdom’ had detected the sudden appearance of a powerful lifeform behind him.

“It’s him… Yintuo from the First Cosmic Cycle Era?” Instantly, his mind cross-referenced the being’s aura and appearance with his memory archives.

Yintuo: A formidable figure from the Ancestral God Sect of the First Cosmic Cycle Era, he was a singular lifeform. Despite his childlike appearance, he was in fact the one and only unique being ‘Yintuo’ of that era. No such lifeform had ever appeared in Luo Feng’s own cosmic cycle, rendering him exceptionally powerful.

Coincidentally, Yintuo cultivated the ‘Beast God Dao of Metal’.

He was adept at both close-quarters combat and attacks utilizing psychic energy weapons. His psychic energy weapon was the renowned supreme treasure of the highest grade—the Golden Sulfur Armor! In terms of combat prowess, he ranked among the elite of the Cosmic Sovereigns, on par with the Icepeak Sovereign or the Void Gold Sovereign. Furthermore, owing to his unique lifeform origins and innate divine physique, he was exceptionally difficult to kill.

The foundation of the Zhu Shen Sect was rooted in the fundamental laws of the Primordial Universe. However, after one cosmic cycle, the Zhu Shen Sect from the First Cosmic Cycle Era had escaped and could no longer return to the Primordial Universe. Without the support of the Primordial Universe’s fundamental laws, the sect’s former overwhelming power naturally dissipated.

From a previously dominant force, it had become a loose alliance.

However, Yintuo himself was undoubtedly a formidable figure from the First Cosmic Cycle Era, even more difficult to deal with than Sovereign Anyong.

“It’s actually him?” Luo Feng frowned. “Even if Void Gold Sovereign blocked me, it would be better than facing him—he’s practically immortal.”

Suddenly, Yintuo, who had been chasing from behind, tried to seize control of the space-time around them. However, endless hazy golden light merely trembled slightly before forcefully repelling the intrusion. As for mastery over space-time, Luo Feng had already surpassed ordinary Cosmic Sovereigns even before his journey into the Winged Space. Needless to say, he was even more powerful now.

“Hahaha, little human brat!”

A sharp voice suddenly reached Luo Feng’s ears. “You’ve got guts, daring to come to the Celestial Ruin Ravine. Tsk tsk, your Silver Wing treasure is indeed special. This hazy golden domain you’ve unleashed is indeed as powerful as the legends say. Just hand this Silver Wing over to me, and I’ll spare your life. What do you say?”

“Yintuo, you sure know how to dream! Wake up!” Luo Feng sneered.

Boom~~~

Instantly, through his Golden Kingdom, Luo Feng manipulated a massive celestial rock that had suddenly fallen from the endless magma sea behind him. The celestial rock had a maximum diameter of over 300 million kilometers and was already rushing downward at an incredibly terrifying speed. One must note that a celestial rock of over 100 million kilometers in size could easily kill most Cosmic Sovereigns upon impact. Moreover, now that this rock was enhanced by the Golden Kingdom, its power was even greater. Its trajectory slightly altered, it directly targeted Yintuo below.

“Rumble~~~” The celestial rock caused space to twist even more, turning into a dazzling stream of light as it plummeted downward, reaching the limit speed of a hundred times the speed of light.

“Hmph!”

Yintuo, chasing from behind, let out a fierce roar. Instantly, countless golden fragments shot out from his body. In the blink of an eye, billions of golden fragments floated in the air, surrounding his divine form. At first glance, the dense golden fragments were so tightly packed that each piece almost touched the next.

Then, countless law threads connected them, and the golden fragments began to embed into each other, linking and fusing together.

Crack! Hiss! Swish!

Amidst a cacophony of dense sounds, in an instant, they formed a gigantic, terrifying golden horned lizard about 100,000 kilometers long—the Metal Beast God. It was an exact replica of the Metal Beast God, radiating endless Beast God aura. Yintuo himself was now inside the body of this ‘giant horned lizard.’

“What a profound Metal Beast God technique,” Luo Feng couldn’t help but exclaim. It was practically a rebirth of the Beast God itself. Luo Feng himself couldn’t reach this level yet.

“Roar~~”

With a roar from the golden horned lizard, it faced the rapidly descending massive celestial rock without dodging at all. Instead, it roared and charged straight forward, like a mad wolf rushing head-on at a train engine. In an instant, the two collided!

“Boom~~~” At the moment of impact, the golden horned lizard slightly altered its posture. Its massive tail lashed out, striking the celestial rock and causing it to vibrate slightly and shift direction slightly before continuing its descent.

At the same time, the immense impact force contained within the celestial rock also erupted upon contact with the tail.

Boom!

The golden horned lizard was thus deflected and flew toward Luo Feng at an ultra-high speed.

“He dared to use the force against me?” Luo Feng inwardly marveled. “No wonder he’s the immortal Yintuo.”

“Little human brat, you’ve angered me!” The golden-horned lizard opened its mouth and let out a sound.

“Hahaha, this is just the beginning. Just wait until you’re really furious!” Luo Feng glanced back. The golden horned lizard was now twisting its tail in midair, easily changing direction to evade the magma streams falling from above. It had mastered the Metal Beast God Dao to an unbelievable degree.

Luo Feng sighed inwardly. It was as if he were witnessing the rebirth of the Beast God itself. He felt as though he were fighting the Beast God again, just like in ancient times.

“Never thought I, Luo Feng, would now have the strength to battle a Beast God,” a thought of self-satisfaction briefly crossed his mind. Suddenly, far ahead, the magma sea in the sky abruptly began forming a massive vortex. The previously relatively calm magma sea started to slowly rotate.

“A magma vortex?” Luo Feng inwardly gasped. Magma vortices were one of the most terrifying threats in the Celestial Ruin Ravine, ranked among the seven greatest threats, second only to the Lava Demon God.

Human records of the terrifying magma vortices were relatively scarce, but records by Jie Fanshi were extremely detailed, even describing what happened when one was caught inside. Clearly, Jie Fanshi had once entered such a vortex in ancient times.

“Boom boom boom~~”

As the magma vortex rotated, a terrifying gale began to form within a range of several light-years around it. Some of the massive rocks that had fallen onto the black rocky ground were even lifted off the ground and began to spin in midair, flying at varying speeds. And as time passed, the rotational speed of these massive celestial rocks continued to increase.

“This is the magma vortex ahead! And it will grow larger over time, expanding its influence. Its expansion speed is definitely faster than your escape speed. Moreover, the space in this entire area has already solidified, with no spatial fluctuations at all—you won’t be able to escape even if you wanted to. Haha, you dared to come to the Celestial Ruin Ravine? I’ve roamed this place for hundreds of eons—it’s practically my home. You want to fight me here? Haha…” The golden horned lizard’s voice echoed.

“Your home? Do you think the Lava Demon God will show you mercy?” Luo Feng retorted with a single sentence, leaving the golden horned lizard momentarily speechless.

“Just you wait. You won’t be able to say anything soon enough.” After a long pause, the golden horned lizard finally replied.

The magma vortex spun faster and faster, growing larger and expanding its influence rapidly. In no time, it reached Luo Feng and Yintuo.

Boom~~~

Endless gales, extremely powerful.

Trapped in this gale, every 0.01 second felt like being struck by a full-powered punch from a newly ascended Cosmic Sovereign! While a single punch from a newly ascended Cosmic Sovereign might not seem overwhelmingly strong, one must realize that being caught in an endless gale meant relentless bombardment—each 0.01 second delivered the same devastating force. In just one second, that translated to over a hundred punches… and the assault would continue indefinitely. If a Cosmic Sovereign had weaker defenses, even if they didn’t perish, they would be gravely wounded.

Luo Feng could endure it, but his flying speed dropped sharply.

“Hahaha…”

“I’ve roamed this place for hundreds of eons, enduring billions of magma vortex cycles. Arrogant human brat, you’re doomed.” The golden-horned lizard moved along with the gale, spinning as its tail occasionally swung, making it seem like a fish in water, effortlessly advancing through the tempest.

Swish!

Swiftly, the golden-horned lizard soared to the surface of a colossal celestial boulder. Click! Clack! Its four hooves extended their claws, embedding directly into the rock. Then, as it channeled divine energy, it began darting swiftly toward Luo Feng, adeptly harnessing the gale to propel itself forward. Though its trajectory appeared to follow arcs and was somewhat obstructed by the Golden Kingdom, its speed far surpassed Luo Feng’s.

Boom~~~

The colossal celestial rock, nearly a billion kilometers in size, accelerated under the golden horned lizard’s guidance. Once moving at such speed, it became extremely difficult to decelerate.

It charged directly toward Luo Feng!

Seeing this, Luo Feng’s expression changed. Immediately, he flapped his Silver Wings and flew toward a nearby celestial rock that was moving at ultra-high speed. Soon, he landed on its surface, which had a maximum diameter of nearly 300 million kilometers.

“So you know how to dodge!” The golden horned lizard controlled the giant super-celestial rock.

Luo Feng stood on a slightly smaller celestial rock.

Boom!

Boom!

Like the amplified collision of planets billions of times over, boom~~~ amidst the endless howling gales, the massive celestial bodies finally crashed into each other. The tremendous impact force caused them to begin fracturing, shattering into numerous large fragments. Luo Feng, slightly affected by the shockwave, still felt his divine body tremble.

“Swish~~” A gigantic golden hoof claw pierced through the shattered rocks, directly striking toward Luo Feng’s head.
