Chapter 1257: Divine Blood

Yuan, Luo Feng was reluctant to use it easily.

Regarding “Yuan,” Luo Feng had two considerations. One was the plan to absorb the stored energy from Yuan when acquiring the remaining three pairs of wings of the complete Winged Treasure in the future, in order to restore their power! Just as the Godslayer Wings had previously recovered from hidden damage by devouring and absorbing vast amounts of energy. After all, treasures of this level, even though they are mechanical-flow treasures capable of self-recovery, still require energy to do so.

However, at Luo Feng’s current level, his energy was insufficient to restore a supreme treasure like the Slaughter God Wings.

This was one thought.

The other thought was… his ultimate trump card!

Each blade of energy was more terrifying than an attack from a Cosmic Sovereign, capable of shattering top-grade palace treasures! And if billions of blades of energy erupted simultaneously—not released chaotically, but bursting from the edges of the white wings—it would likely shatter even the mightiest treasures!

A Cosmic Sovereign would be killed beyond resurrection!

Of course, this move could only be used once!

“I should first try to find the other three pairs of wings, absorb energy to restore them first, and leave some blade energy for attack,” Luo Feng mused. In fact, the energy within Yuan was immense; only a small portion was needed to kill a Cosmic Sovereign. However, he couldn’t utilize it efficiently and could only launch a single attack.

The crimson pagoda departed from Qing Peak Realm and headed toward the Original Universe.

“Master! The wings are damaged. When your divine power flows through these damaged areas during activation, it will be greatly affected. This will significantly impact your combat effectiveness,” Shi Wu transmitted a wave of information. “Therefore, we must devour some precious materials. Ideally, they should be primary materials used in crafting peak treasures. Alternatively, devouring peak treasures directly would work too, though the cost would be too high.”

“Moreover…”

“There are still three traces of divine blood on the white wing. These traces also have a considerable impact. However, now that the three pairs of wings have fused, expelling them is relatively manageable. But if the sixth pair of wings could be fully restored, the expulsion would be much faster.”

On the way back to the Original Universe, Shi Wu repeatedly brought up this matter.

After all, the damaged wings constantly needed to suppress the divine blood traces, so naturally it wanted to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

“I’ll collect the materials after I get back. At the moment, I don’t have enough materials at hand,” Luo Feng communicated with Slayer Wu.

He did possess some peak treasures.

During the inheritance trial, many powerful individuals were ultimately killed. However, before accepting the basic inheritance, strong cultivators from various factions who voluntarily withdrew had already taken away numerous important treasures, including supreme treasures and peak treasures!

Every participant witnessed the deaths of the two Sovereigns of the Divine Eye Clan and realized that even supreme treasure palaces could not protect them. Knowing that only one could survive the basic inheritance, nearly all the powerful individuals went to accept the inheritance empty-handed, without bringing any treasures.

However—

Some powerhouses who perished in battle against the monster Kui Luo, some Sovereigns of the Universe who were killed during the Rhin Emperor Bureau incident, and a vast number of fallen elites from the Divine Eye Clan… In the end, two supreme treasures and one precious treasure were granted by Dandong River to the ‘Thunder-Cloak Demon God.’ However, the other treasures carried by the two Sovereigns and over a dozen Sovereigns of the Universe were all stored within the Tomb Barge, naturally becoming Luo Feng’s possessions.

Therefore…

Luo Feng’s greatest gains primarily came from the treasures of the slain Divine Eye Clan experts, excluding the three aforementioned treasures.

“However, they came to accept the inheritance with the expectation of possible death, so many didn’t bring their treasures,” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. “Altogether, there are only three treasures at the level of peak domains, peak palaces, peak souls, etc. And only twelve treasures at the level of ordinary peak treasures, top domains, palaces, etc. Those below this level are not even worth mentioning, not even qualified to be devoured and restored by the Slaughter Wings.”

These treasures were roughly equivalent to the wealth of a Cosmic Sovereign (excluding supreme treasures).

It can only be said that few strong individuals who came to claim the inheritance brought valuable treasures. Unless, like the Seventh Sovereign, they attempted to rely on the ‘Ice Cliff Fortress’ to preserve their lives.

“Master,” Shi Wu sent a ripple.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng listened.

“The sixth pair of wings originally had four blood traces. Over countless eons, one of them was expelled, forming a drop of divine blood,” explained Shi Wu.

“Divine blood?” Luo Feng was startled.

Due to the damage to the sixth pair of wings and the interference of the bloodstains, channeling divine power into them would be significantly hindered. Previously, during training, he had merely relied on raw strength. He had never truly inspected this sixth pair of wings (the complete Winged Treasure consisted of six pairs in total; initially, Luo Feng had obtained the first and second pairs, while the white wings were the sixth pair, with the third, fourth, and fifth pairs still missing).

“Divine blood should be the blood of the predecessor owner’s enemy on the Winged Treasure.”

“It contains boundless might.”

“Master, you cannot contain it with your divine power. First, use the wings to expel it… then let the Star Pagoda seal it. After that, you can study it at your leisure,” Shi Wu advised.

“Okay.”

Luo Feng was excited and expectant.

Divine blood?

The sacred blood of a supreme being capable of harming the complete Ling Wu’s wings? Even the residual bloodstains emitted such tremendous pressure. This divine blood could prove immensely valuable.

Under Luo Feng’s control, a drop of crystal-crimson blood gradually surfaced on the white wing, enveloped by layers of dense black auras. The moment this droplet emerged, it naturally dripped onto the floor of the Star Tower’s control room. Instantly, the floor caved inward, forming a small bowl-shaped depression that perfectly caught the divine blood. Then, the depression began to ripple and flow, shaping into a sphere that completely encapsulated the sacred droplet.

“Ordinary treasures cannot contain this divine blood,” Luo Feng sighed. At least, his own divine power couldn’t contain it.

Cultivation for the strong.

Upon reaching the Immortal level, the body becomes fully energized, with the life imprint etched into every bit of energy.

Becoming a Cosmic Sovereign signifies returning to one’s origin, merging all clones into a singular entity, and transitioning from an “energized” state back to a “materialized” form. They can also engage in combat by burning their flesh and blood, and the flesh and blood of supreme powerhouses have additional uses.

“This single drop of divine blood contains immense energy and exerts a powerful willful pressure,” Luo Feng mused. “Given the current conditions in the Cosmic Sea, it would be difficult to unleash the energy of this divine blood. However, making it into a soul-attacking treasure would not be hard. It would only require directing the willful pressure of the divine blood in a single direction.”

The overwhelming will of the divine blood radiates in all directions, and only the will of a Sovereign of the Universe at the peak level can withstand it.

But if the will is focused in one direction, it would be like turning sunlight into a laser beam, instantly amplifying its power hundreds or even thousands of times… likely only the will of a Cosmic Sovereign could barely resist it.

“At that time!”

“Just this willful impact, if used in battle, would immediately cause weaker-willed Sovereigns of the Universe to kneel down in excruciating pain,” Luo Feng smiled. “Even if a Cosmic Sovereign’s will is strong enough to continue fighting, suddenly suffering a willful impact would still catch them off guard and affect them somewhat.”

Divine blood—

Its energy can be unleashed! It can be used to pollute supreme treasures! Its will can crush opponents!

The first option is temporarily unachievable, the second would be too wasteful of the divine blood, and the third is the most suitable. Moreover, he just happened to have a teacher in the Cosmic Sea who was the best in treasure forging!

“However, these are just my ideas. Whether they can be realized remains to be seen.”

“I don’t have the capability to forge a treasure myself.”

“When I return to the Original Universe, I will go to Master Situ Shanke and hear his opinion,” Luo Feng thought to himself. Master Situ Shanke was the true expert in this field and could effectively utilize this drop of divine blood.

Tsk tsk…

A single drop of blood from an ancient civilization’s supreme being! An existence powerful enough to damage the complete six pairs of wings—wings that surpass even many supreme treasures in strength. How formidable must such an existence be? No wonder even a single drop of its blood already wields such immense power.

“Shi Wu! I don’t have many treasures, and the precious materials within the human race are also limited, so—I will send my Gold-Horned Giant Beast clone, carrying you, to the depths of the Cosmic Barge to retrieve the remaining treasures of Jie Fanshi,” Luo Feng communicated mentally. “Jie Fanshi was a lone Cosmic Sovereign who went to challenge samsara. He likely only brought helpful treasures like supreme treasures with him. Other peak palace treasures and such might still be there. Perhaps the treasures left behind by Jie Fanshi might even exceed what we gained from killing the Divine Eye Clan branch.”

“Great! Let’s go quickly!” Shi Wu was eager.

Midway through the journey.

They began to separate.

The clone of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast donned the Robbery Armor, bore the Shi Wu Wings on its back, and carried the Star Tower! With the Star Tower… venturing deep into the Cosmic Barge to retrieve Jie Fanshi’s remaining treasures would be effortless.

Meanwhile, the Earthman main body wore the Mad God Annihilation Armor, carried the Blood Shadow Blade, and brought the Tomb Barge back to the Original Universe!

These two major clones…

The Gold-Horned Giant Beast and the Earthman main body were Luo Feng’s two primary battle clones.

The Earthman main body, with the ‘Blood Shadow Blade,’ was slightly stronger.

The clone of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast possessed the “Shi Wu Wings,” within which was stored “Yuan,” making it Luo Feng’s ultimate trump card.

Both of them were capable of dominating the Cosmic Sea and would not fear any Cosmic Sovereign they encountered.

Soon.

Luo Feng returned to the Original Universe. As soon as he returned, the highest levels of the human race naturally learned of it.

Outside the Hall of the Axe God in the Virtual Universe.

The 19 Sovereigns of the Universe of the human race (including Luo Feng) and the Ax Creator were gathered here, celebrating.

“Luo Feng has returned safely! Back in the Original Universe, there is no longer any danger,” Gong Peng laughed heartily. “Other reincarnation realms and the two holy universes cannot enter the Original Universe. Moreover, even a Cosmic Sovereign in the Original Universe can only exert limited power. With Luo Feng’s current strength, he can go head-to-head with them almost equally.”

“Everything is settled. Our human race is about to enter a period of rapid development,” the Chaos City Lord also expressed his anticipation.

“Right.”

“As our human race develops, it is destined to become the greatest power in the entire Cosmic Sea,” the Void Gold Sovereign stated directly.

The highest-level existences of the human race were all very happy.

They had previously worried about Luo Feng encountering obstacles on his way back, but fortunately, he returned safely! Each of them could already envision the future strength of the human race.
