Luo Feng, the Master of the Luchong, the Divine Eye Race, the Hai Clan, and the Primordial God Cult transformed into five streaks of light that soared across the void, heading toward the ancient Ship of Tombs.
“Boom! Boom~~~” The ancient vessel, suspended above a vast black swamp, began to tremble slowly. Soon after, the outer wall on one side revealed a gate, which slowly lifted, widening the passage.
“There it is!”
“The entrance to the Ship of Tombs has opened!”
“Quickly, get inside!”
The five streaks of light simultaneously adjusted their flight paths and charged straight toward the distant gate.
“Master of the Luchong, you have the greatest strength and are most familiar with the Ship of Tombs. I suggest you enter last!” A voice sneered wildly. At the same time, waves of gray-golden shadows swept wildly toward the Master of the Luchong. In midair, these countless gray-golden shadows converged, transforming directly into an enormous ancient, heavy cleaver.
“Master of the Luchong, you already possess a supreme treasure. Why do you still compete with us?” A cold voice rang out from the Primordial God Cult. Instantly, countless butterflies emerged in the void. Colored butterflies flew forward in endless waves, rushing madly toward the Master of the Luchong.
“Master of the Luchong…”
…
Simultaneously, the Hai Clan and the Divine Eye Race, who normally did not get along, also launched attacks against the Master of the Luchong. Not a single one of them targeted Luo Feng!
Clearly, the Master of the Luchong posed the greatest threat. He was the strongest among them and likely the most knowledgeable about the Ship of Tombs. If they didn’t join forces to stop him… the Ship of Tombs would almost certainly fall into his hands. None of the Universe Masters present were fools; they naturally understood what needed to be done.
The colossal cleaver of void energy, the boundless dream-drunk butterflies, and the swirling white tempests—under the onslaught of these forces, the pyramid-shaped structure hurtling through the sky was obliterated in an instant.
“Roar~~”
An unusual beast suddenly appeared in midair.
Its body was covered in black scales, massive in size, and every part of it seemed like a weapon. Hundreds of pairs of sharp claws had razor-sharp hooks on their joints, and its tail resembled that of a scorpion’s but was segmented into nearly a thousand parts, each adorned with eerie cyan rings.
The moment the beast appeared, Luo Feng felt a chill in his heart.
The only relatively normal part of the beast was its head—it resembled a deer-like creature.
“Lu Chong!” Luo Feng realized inwardly.
The Master of the Luchong, empowered by a supreme treasure, could transform into this terrifying, monstrous beast. After obtaining the supreme treasure, he changed his title to “Master of the Luchong,” and thus this beast became known as the “Lu Chong.”
“Roar~~~”
The Lu Chong dashed rapidly through the void, and despite its gentle-looking head, it emitted a roar so powerful that the space around it trembled.
The void quaked, visible ripples spreading outward in all directions. The massive cleaver, the endless butterflies, and the white whirlwinds—all disintegrated and dissolved under the beast’s roar.
“Milky Way, follow me!” The Lu Chong charged forward while transmitting a divine message through divine energy.
“Alright.” Luo Feng muttered to himself, yet his speed did not falter.
“The Lu Chong is furious and has already used his supreme treasure.”
“Stop him!”
“We can’t stop him. We won’t get the Ship of Tombs.”
“Slow him down.”
“Milky Way Sovereign, won’t you help us stop the Master of the Luchong? If he enters first, we might not get any treasures.”
“Milky Way Sovereign, let’s stop the Lu Chong first.”
Two transmissions successively asked Luo Feng to intervene.
“Hmph!” Luo Feng ignored them completely.
“Milky Way Sovereign, are you thinking that by following the Master of the Luchong, you can obtain the Ship of Tombs?”
“You’ll regret it soon enough.”
“You all talk too much.” Luo Feng’s voice rang out, “If you dare, come and attack me. Then we’ll see who regrets it!”
“Hmph!”
“Hmph!”
Several cold snorts followed. The Divine Eye Race, the Primordial God Cult, and the Hai Clan no longer paid any attention to Luo Feng. At this moment, they could not afford to divert any strength to deal with him—their true enemy was the Master of the Luchong! The three factions unleashed successive attacks through their domains, bombarding the Master of the Luchong relentlessly. After all, those daring enough to venture into such a dangerous inner region were usually Fifth-stage Universe Masters, with only a few being Fourth-stage Universe Masters possessing extraordinary survival abilities. Now, with the factions combining their forces…
The monstrous Lu Chong dashed through the void, emitting a series of powerful roars, each unleashing devastating shockwaves.
However, as the Divine Eye Race, the Primordial God Cult, and the Hai Clan unleashed their full strength, the Master of the Luchong’s speed noticeably slowed.
“Zooom!”
As the Master of the Luchong slowed, the crimson streak of light following closely behind instantly overtook him.
It was Luo Feng!
“Don’t worry about the Milky Way Sovereign. He has no idea about the layout inside the Ship of Tombs.”
“We’ll stop the Master of the Luchong, so there won’t be any issues.”
“Roar!”
“Roar!” The Master of the Luchong did not ask Luo Feng for help. Instead, he repeatedly broke through the attacks, charging toward the gate entrance.
…
Although the distance was vast, how fast were Luo Feng and the others?
A streak of crimson light instantly shot into the gate entrance.
Immediately after, the Master of the Luchong, the Divine Eye Race, the Hai Clan, and the Primordial God Cult, locked in mutual struggle, nearly simultaneously rushed into the gate entrance.
“Hmm?”
“This is…”
Inside the Ship of Tombs, everything was tranquil. Each formidable figure had summoned their supreme palace treasures—only those who possessed at least one such treasure dared to venture into the Flaming Ice Domain.
“This…” Luo Feng, the first to enter, looked around in confusion.
After rushing through the gate passage, they soon arrived at an immense, empty plaza—or perhaps a grand hall. The plaza was likely hundreds of millions of kilometers in diameter, completely empty except for its smooth, pristine floor. At the plaza’s edges were numerous passageways leading in various directions.
This sight puzzled Luo Feng. He didn’t know which direction to choose. Making the wrong choice would waste precious time, and during that time, other powerful individuals might have already located the control core and claimed it.
“Milky Way, follow me.” Suddenly, the Master of the Luchong transmitted.
Zooom!
The Master of the Luchong immediately flew toward the distance. Luo Feng’s eyes lit up, and he charged forward almost simultaneously.
The Divine Eye Race had only two Universe Masters present—Master Shadow Ash and Master Ghost Phantom. The Primordial God Cult had only one—Master Liujue. The Hai Clan also had only one—Master Screaming Sea. The four of them instinctively gave chase the moment the Master of the Luchong and Luo Feng moved.
“Focus on the Lu Chong. He knows the way.”
“Engage the Lu Chong!”
“Don’t let the Milky Way Sovereign profit either!”
Instantly, the four pursuers unleashed attacks. Some launched soul attacks, others hurled long-range weapons, and still others used domain attacks. In an instant, the four behind and the two ahead engaged in a lightning-fast clash while continuing to move forward at high speed.
“This Lu Chong wants me to draw some of their attacks,” Luo Feng thought as he chased, watching the Lu Chong ahead.
“However, compared to the Divine Eye Race, the Hai Clan, and the Primordial God Cult, I’m the weakest. Even if they manage to hold back the Master of the Luchong… when it comes to seizing the treasures, I won’t stand a chance against the three factions. But if I follow the Lu Chong, and he draws most of the attacks, maybe I can take advantage of the chaos.” Luo Feng continued chasing.
Everyone present had their own calculations.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Inside the Ship of Tombs, six figures sped forward along the internal passageways. The Master of the Luchong was clearly the target of all attacks, and his speed had indeed noticeably slowed, nearly matching Luo Feng’s.
“Milky Way, if I get held up, you might end up gaining the biggest advantage,” the Lu Chong glanced at Luo Feng and said.
“I’m under attack too.” Luo Feng, swift as a beast god, darted forward. Occasionally, his right claw slashed through the air… The four pursuers behind were formidable, but if they only hindered him from a distance and did not fully commit against him… how could Luo Feng possibly be concerned?
“There it is!”
Suddenly, the Master of the Luchong surged forward. With a loud crash, one of the horns on his head struck the wall of a rotating corridor. BOOM~~~ The patterns on the corridor wall instantly caved inward. Immediately after, WHOOSH~~~~ a massive gate descended from above the corridor, crashing down with a thunderous boom.
The four figures behind rushed forward one after another, seeing the massive gate, they grew furious.
“Curses!”
“I’ve always said that the Lu Chong is the most dangerous. Master Screaming Sea, you idiot! Why did you waste time attacking the Milky Way Sovereign? The Milky Way Sovereign knows nothing about this place. Would the Lu Chong really share the secrets with him? So focus on stopping the Lu Chong. Even if we let the Milky Way Sovereign run free inside, he won’t find anything in a short time.”
“Useless Divine Eye Race! Always criticizing after the fact. Earlier, when I attacked Luo Feng, why didn’t you say anything?”
“Enough!” The Divine Eye Race woman, Master Ghost Phantom, angrily kicked the gate.
Boom~~~
The gate did not budge, and Master Ghost Phantom was pushed back three steps.
“Move!” Master Ghost Phantom turned and led Master Shadow Ash to search for another passage.
…
The Master of the Luchong and Luo Feng continued flying.
“The Master of the Luchong is indeed impressive. I admire you,” Luo Feng said.
“I’ve studied two Ships of Tombs. Is it so strange that I know a few things?” The Master of the Luchong glanced at Luo Feng with a smile. He had now reverted to his original form—a bald man—and said directly, “Milky Way, earlier, I pulled you in because I wanted one less enemy. You were the only one I could possibly ally with. Second, I wanted to add another opponent for them. But now… you’re not of much use anymore.”
Luo Feng was startled.
In fact, ever since the gate fell in the passage, he had been very cautious. Without external enemies, the Master of the Luchong was likely to turn against him. And the Master’s strength was clearly superior.
“Don’t worry. I’ve roamed the Cosmic Sea for such a long time. I’m not like those madmen of the First Cosmic Era,” the Master of the Luchong said leisurely. “The Ship of Tombs is extremely valuable. Although it’s not as precious as a supreme palace treasure, it surpasses any peak palace treasure. Moreover, it can lead us to the Tombs. Its value is higher than any rare artifact, nearly on par with a supreme treasure.”
“They’re mad, but I’m not.”
“Because of my long lifespan, the most exciting part is the adventure itself. Obtaining treasures? Just do your best. Even if you fail, it’s not a big deal.” The Master of the Luchong said casually as he transformed into a streak of light, advancing through the winding passage.
Luo Feng, however, did not respond.
Not a big deal?
Not caring?
If his race could exist eternally and he himself could live forever, he could also be so carefree!
“I predict that just ahead is the core chamber. The control core should be inside.” The Master of the Luchong glanced at Luo Feng and transmitted directly, “Considering our strengths, let’s see who can obtain the control core.”
