The battle of the Abyss had a tremendous impact.
However, though the Divine Eye Clan suffered losses, they did not disclose the news, leaving all the major powers in the Cosmic Sea unaware that another being nearly on par with the Primordial Ancestor had emerged. As for the ultimate fate of the Silver Wing Treasure and the Extinction God Armor in the Abyss battle, it became an unsolved mystery, leaving countless powerhouses puzzled over who had finally obtained them.
Could it be that a Cosmic Sovereign obtained them and then stored them away? That would truly be a waste of treasures.
In the following days, Luo Feng also didn’t hear of any feats by the Axe Creator. It made sense—those at that level would only engage in battle for treasures or due to vendettas.
…
Deep within the Abyss, in a hidden space.
Dressed casually, Luo Feng walked leisurely across the island, stopping from time to time. Meanwhile, his consciousness was studying the six diagrams left by the Sitting Mountain Guest that he had just viewed. Although the Sitting Mountain Guest had only observed for a few days, the six diagrams he had deciphered were already extremely profound, representing the level of a Cosmic Sovereign and offering Luo Feng a wealth of insights.
“This is a rare opportunity.
“I must thoroughly comprehend it, enhancing my mastery of the Secret Pattern Diagram Flow. The stronger I become in the Secret Pattern Diagram Flow, the easier my comprehension of the Laws will be,” Luo Feng murmured. When he reached the level of a Cosmic Sovereign in the Secret Pattern Diagram Flow, his understanding of the Laws might accelerate ten or even a hundredfold.
…
Time passed.
His divine energy avatar was in cultivation, while Luo Feng journeyed through one dangerous zone after another inside the Cosmic Boat, drawing closer to his destination.
…
In the blink of an eye, more than three hundred years had passed.
In the First Small Universe of the Divine Eye Clan.
White clouds drifted leisurely, and a gentle breeze blew across the land. The Sovereign Wuhun sat by the railing on the second floor of the palace, gazing at the endless expanse of land.
“Wuhun, Wuhun.”
A blurred figure flew from the distant sky, then hovered to a stop.
Seeing this, Sovereign Wuhun smiled and said, “It’s Anyong.”
The avatar of Sovereign Anyong flew directly to the railing beside Sovereign Wuhun. The Divine Eye Clan had seven small universes, where their Cosmic Sovereigns were scattered across. However, in the other small universes, they mostly left divine avatars to maintain communication.
Sovereign Anyong had some enmity with Luo Feng, but Sovereign Wuhun’s hatred ran even deeper!
Previously, as fellow clansmen, Anyong and Wuhun had a good relationship, but now their bond had grown even stronger.
“Why do you look so anxious?” Sovereign Wuhun asked.
“I have news about Luo Feng,” Sovereign Anyong replied urgently.
“Oh?”
Sovereign Wuhun’s eyes lit up, revealing a glint of killing intent. Since Luo Feng had dragged him into death before, he had considered Luo Feng a true rival. However, after that incident, he had lost all knowledge of Luo Feng’s whereabouts. Even through intelligence networks and connections with forces in the Primeval Universe, the response from those forces was that Luo Feng was keeping a low profile and had not been active within the human race.
Therefore, Wuhun had no choice but to endure.
“I thought without the Silver Wing Treasure, he wouldn’t dare to enter the Cosmic Sea. Tell me, where is he?” Sovereign Wuhun asked urgently.
“In the Cosmic Boat!” Sovereign Anyong replied.
“What? In the Cosmic Boat?”
Sovereign Wuhun was shocked. “He dares to enter the Cosmic Boat?”
“He not only dares to enter the Cosmic Boat but has gone deep into its inner regions,” Sovereign Anyong continued with frustration. “He has actually been in the Cosmic Boat since our incident with him. All these years, he has been exploring the Cosmic Boat, but he has been using another identity.”
“Another identity?” Sovereign Wuhun was even more puzzled.
“The Sovereign Crackgold!” Sovereign Anyong said solemnly.
“What? It’s him?” Wuhun’s eyes widened. “Could it really be him? This… this Luo Feng has been disguising himself all along, exploring the Cosmic Boat. But how could he be so strong?”
Sovereign Crackgold was a Cosmic Sovereign who gained fame three hundred years ago during a treasure competition in the Cosmic Boat.
Before that, no one had heard of Sovereign Crackgold. However, daring to enter the inner regions of the Cosmic Boat naturally proved his strength. Later, Sovereign Crackgold himself declared his name as “Crackgold,” and thus the name “Sovereign Crackgold” spread throughout the Cosmic Sea.
This was merely his first appearance.
In the following three hundred years, there were two more minor treasure competitions, which demonstrated Sovereign Crackgold’s strength, suggesting he was barely at the “fourth-stage” level.
“Wuhun, this time it was in the Bostar Sea!” Sovereign Anyong continued urgently. “The Bostar Sea is no less dangerous than the God-Extinguishing Ravine! Moreover, the Bostar Sea is even more vast, with several places where treasures are likely to appear, so there are several factions there. Recently, a top-tier domain-type treasure emerged, naturally sparking a fierce struggle. Sovereign Crackgold got involved. This battle was especially brutal, even resulting in the death of the main combat body of the Nazyar Sovereign from our cycle era… In the end, Sovereign Crackgold unleashed his power, proving to be even stronger, likely reaching the top level of the fourth stage! He ultimately seized that treasure.”
“Due to the large number of experts in the Bostar Sea, a Cosmic Sovereign from the Second Cycle Era—’Sovereign Xuecang,’ who had once seen Luo Feng in the Qianfeng Realm—exclaimed in shock, ‘You are the Silver Wing Lord!’ This revelation made all the experts realize that Sovereign Crackgold was actually the Silver Wing Lord!”
As Sovereign Anyong spoke, he couldn’t help shaking his head.
It was naturally frustrating for an enemy to shine so brightly.
Luo Feng’s ability to hide his identity was actually quite normal, after all. Although a strong being’s life aura remains unchanged, their appearance can be easily altered. And as for the so-called aura, it is usually only remembered after being seen in person! Or through a ‘Virtual Universe’ simulating that aura for one’s perception. Other forces obviously did not have a Virtual Universe.
Even constructing a virtual world in other cycle eras could not fully simulate the life aura of a Cosmic Sovereign or a Cosmic Sovereign-level being.
This was extremely difficult.
“His strength has actually become this formidable,” Sovereign Wuhun said, frowning. “When he first entered the Cosmic Sea, he caused the death of my main body. At that time, I had a premonition that this Luo Feng would become my great enemy. But I never expected that in such a short time, he would reach the top level of the fourth stage.”
“What should we do?” Sovereign Anyong looked at Sovereign Wuhun.
Sovereign Anyong wasn’t necessarily afraid, but he was troubled. Because of his avatars, it was difficult for anyone to kill him. However, Sovereign Anyong was troubled by Luo Feng’s current strength. He never expected that without the Silver Wing Treasure’s assistance, Luo Feng could display such formidable close-combat strength in such a short time!
“Let’s depart,” Sovereign Wuhun said solemnly. “We will head to the Cosmic Boat!”
“But he is already in the Bostar Sea!” Sovereign Anyong replied urgently. “The Bostar Sea is deep within the inner regions… From the outer regions, we must pass through one dangerous zone after another. By the time we reach the Bostar Sea, it will take a long time. By then, Luo Feng might have already moved on somewhere else. If we chase after him now, it will be difficult…”
“If we don’t chase him now, it will be even harder to catch up with him in the future!” Sovereign Wuhun said solemnly. “I will set off immediately. What about you?”
“Alright, I’ll go with you,” Sovereign Anyong nodded.
“Hmm,” Sovereign Wuhun nodded.
Wuhun didn’t mind taking Anyong along because Anyong had avatars and, due to his divine body, had a very strong ability to survive. Thus, he would be an excellent companion to help stall Luo Feng. At least in terms of survival and delaying the enemy, Anyong was superior to Sovereign Jiujian.
“Hmph… Luo Feng!” A glint of killing intent flickered in Sovereign Wuhun’s eyes.
“Once we catch up with him, he is doomed,” Sovereign Anyong gritted his teeth.
Faced with impending doom, they could only pin their hopes on the Cosmic Sovereigns. Thus, the Cosmic Sovereigns of the first cycle era, unable to struggle on their own, became even more desperate.
…
Time continued to move forward, never stopping for anyone.
In the vast Cosmic Ocean, within the Primordial Universe, countless small universes gave birth to innumerable lives, just as countless lives met their demise. For the powerful, it was but a fleeting moment of contemplation—yet that same span might encompass the entire lifespan of other beings.
Although Sovereign Wuhun and Sovereign Anyong set out in pursuit, the distance between them and Luo Feng was too great. Without knowledge of Luo Feng’s future route, catching up with him was extremely difficult. Even if they did catch up, it would be a long time later. However, for Sovereign Wuhun, who had lived nearly three cycle eras, this so-called ‘long time’ was nothing.
…
The 620th year since Luo Feng entered the Cosmic Boat.
Virtual Universe.
The palace atop Thunder Island.
“The Black Pattern Pillar!” the Chaos City Lord exclaimed. “You want to go to the Sky-Piercing Demon Pillar to temper your will? There are many places to temper one’s will, and some are much closer than the Sky-Piercing Demon Pillar. Why do you choose to go there?”
“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded solemnly. “There are many places to temper one’s will, but the closer one gets to the Sky-Piercing Demon Pillar, the faster time flows. This way, I can save more time. Near the Sky-Piercing Demon Pillar, perhaps ten thousand years pass there while only one year passes in the outside world. This gives me ample time to temper my will and sufficient time to study and comprehend the Laws.”
“Your current decisions are increasingly beyond my understanding,” the Chaos City Lord sighed. “But your progress is also beyond my comprehension. Since you are determined to reach the Sky-Piercing Demon Pillar, I won’t say anything more.”
Indeed, the Chaos City Lord was deeply moved.
His disciple, who had become famous after the Bostar Sea battle, had startled the human race greatly… and the Chaos City Lord himself was equally startled. They had thought Luo Feng had been keeping a low profile after losing the Silver Wing Treasure, but never expected him to become even more extraordinary.
The most astonished were the Chaos City Lord and the Axe Creator.
Because they knew, Luo Feng had not yet ascended to the level of a Cosmic Sovereign!
Not yet a Cosmic Sovereign, yet already at the ‘top level’? This was too extraordinary. Because of this, the Chaos City Lord and the Axe Creator personally came to the Virtual Universe to spar with Luo Feng. They discovered that although Luo Feng’s divine power was only equivalent to that of a Cosmic Sovereign with a hundredfold life gene, his secret techniques were extremely powerful!
According to Luo Feng’s own simulation in the Virtual Universe, after activating the secret techniques of the Crazy Demon Extermination Armor, his techniques were already the strongest fusion techniques! Even the Chaos City Lord and Sovereign Wuhun were not much stronger in secret techniques than this.
It was then that Luo Feng publicly announced that he was following the Secret Pattern Diagram Flow!
Although merely a Cosmic Sovereign… he had already created the strongest secret techniques for Cosmic Sovereigns! He could even wield the third secret technique of the treasure.
“Over these centuries, due to studying the six secret pattern diagrams and ancient secret patterns, especially during the life-and-death battle in the Bostar Sea, I had an epiphany. My mastery of the Secret Pattern Diagram Flow finally broke through the bottleneck, reaching the level of a Cosmic Sovereign. I have already created the strongest secret technique for a Cosmic Sovereign, ‘Crackgold,’ and can now activate the third secret pattern of the Crazy Demon Extermination Armor.”
“When I activate the third secret pattern of the Crazy Demon Extermination Armor, although my divine power is slightly inferior, my strength is already at the top level of the fourth stage. If I ascend to the level of a Cosmic Sovereign and enhance my divine power, I will reach the top level of the fifth stage, matching my teacher, the Chaos City Lord.”
