Chapter 1328: “It”

The power core of the human race—the space-time where the Primordial Secret Realm was located—had already changed. Under the control of the newly emerged True God, ‘Lord of Chaos,’ even the laws of nature had shifted. At the very least, the enemy faction could no longer possibly launch a surprise attack deep into human territory within an extremely short time using methods such as ‘Divine Kingdom Transmission’ or ‘Teleportation.’

Previously, when the Axe King fell, humanity’s control over a certain space-time weakened significantly, allowing the allied forces to reach humanity’s stronghold in an extremely short time.

“Waves crashing~” an endless dark sea stretched across the void, surging with wave after wave.

A figure suddenly appeared atop the surging waves.

“I’m back.”

Luo Feng stood atop the waves, his divine power swiftly replenishing his body while simultaneously channeling a vast amount of divine energy into the ‘Tomb Mausoleum Boat’ to restore the Gold-Horned Giant Beast. In an instant, both divine bodies were fully recovered… To the boundless Nethersea, this amount of divine energy was utterly negligible.

“The path of divine power is indeed profound and intricate.” Luo Feng waved his hand, directly tossing out a world ring. Immediately, the endless waves beside him surged up, swallowing the world ring in an instant.

This world ring contained a vast amount of unique substances Luo Feng had collected over the past 800 years inside the Cosmic Boat. Among them, there were as many as 92,083 types of rock-like materials, along with flames, gases, liquids, metals… Besides these inanimate substances, fragments of the deceased Lightning Shuttle Sovereign and the corpse pieces of the Star Sovereign Hao Lei were also stored within this world ring.

Starting from divine power…

There were various methods, but the Endless Abyss Sea possessed the innate ability of ‘Creation,’ enabling it to analyze the genetic codes of life and generate new lifeforms. Naturally, the path of ‘Analyzing Life’s Genetic Code’ was the most efficient. In fact, before Luo Feng’s previous departure to the Cosmic Sea, he had already sent a vast quantity of materials from the Primordial Universe into the Endless Abyss Sea for analysis.

Luo Feng’s method was straightforward—

The boundless Nethersea would analyze everything! Meanwhile, his divine power avatar would conduct research and contemplation within the ‘Cultivation Space’ accelerated ten thousandfold. Once any research breakthrough was achieved, he would then proceed with experiments using the infinite Nethersea.

“It’s a pity that some of the life samples I prepared previously decayed,” Luo Feng shook his head inwardly. Some lifeforms had lifespans of merely a thousand years and had aged to death during the research process.

“Master!” Standing atop the endless waves of the Nether Sea, Luo Feng called out.

Flash!

Before Luo Feng’s eyes, a figure materialized out of thin air—it was indeed Lord of Chaos. At this moment, Lord of Chaos was clad in a golden robe, his eyes faintly displaying the birth and destruction of universes. The endless, steady aura naturally exuding from him left Luo Feng in awe. His master’s aura was entirely different from that of the Axe King.

The Axe King’s presence was more flamboyant and adventurous.

Chaos, however, was as steady as a mountain, disliking risks.

“Congratulations, Master,” Luo Feng also noticed his master’s enhanced strength.

“Compared to you, I still have a long way to go. I’ve just become the strongest, while you’ve already slain one of the strongest,” Lord of Chaos teased. “Looking across the entire Cosmic Sea… there are very few who have the record of slaying a Cosmic Sovereign.”

“Luck,” Luo Feng replied quickly.

“You claimed a thirty percent chance of victory before the battle, and you still call it luck?” Lord of Chaos shook his head.

Luo Feng didn’t argue further. He waved his hand, and immediately a Star Tower floated beside him. From the side entrance at the base of the Star Tower, a peculiar armor emitting faint green light flew out. An ancient, savage aura radiated from this armor, causing Lord of Chaos to be momentarily startled: “Hao Lei Battle Armor?”

“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded, then said, “Since Master has become a Cosmic Sovereign, and I happened to be fortunate enough to kill the Star Sovereign Hao Lei, I’d like to present this Hao Lei Battle Armor as a gift to celebrate Master’s breakthrough.”

“You don’t even have a peerless treasure armor yourself,” Lord of Chaos immediately shook his head. “This Hao Lei Battle Armor is also of great use to you. Keep this treasure for yourself.”

“Master,” Luo Feng hurriedly said, “I already have peerless treasures. This one isn’t essential for me. I specially returned just to give it to you, so please accept it.”

Lord of Chaos frowned and said sternly, “No more arguing. You know my personality. If this were an offensive or palace-type peerless treasure, I would take it without hesitation. But this peerless treasure armor… you don’t have one yourself. You’re currently wandering the Cosmic Sea and need it more. As for me, I’m now stationed in the Primordial Universe and won’t be leaving for a while. I don’t need the Hao Lei Battle Armor at all. It’s more useful to you!”

“But, but… even Dark Sovereign and Peng Gong Sovereign each received a peerless treasure. Master, you…” Luo Feng was both anxious and helpless.

He truly had a grateful heart.

He indeed possessed several treasures himself, so even losing one peerless treasure wouldn’t be a problem. In terms of survival, there were very few in the entire Cosmic Sea who could threaten him. He had long planned to give the Hao Lei Battle Armor to his master.

“Dark Sovereign and Peng Gong are different. At that time, our race was facing a fate battle. Besides, you already have offensive and palace-type peerless treasures,” Lord of Chaos explained. “That’s why I didn’t stop you back then. But the Hao Lei Battle Armor… I don’t need it. Let’s not discuss this matter any further.”

Luo Feng hesitated for a moment but could only comply.

He immediately understood—

Over a long period, his master had been in charge of humanity’s overall affairs, always maintaining fairness and justice. How could such a cultivator easily accept benefits from others? Even if it was from his own disciple, if it was a treasure that wasn’t crucial to the disciple, it would be fine. But how could he possibly accept a peerless treasure armor that was extremely important to the disciple?

“I’m wandering the Cosmic Sea,” Luo Feng thought to himself, “constantly taking risks. Next time I obtain another armor treasure, my master won’t have any excuse to refuse it anymore.”

Though he thought this way, Luo Feng also understood how extremely difficult it would be to obtain another peerless treasure armor.

“Master, this is a set of treasures left behind by the deceased Star Sovereign Hao Lei—the Huan Yu Cone,” Luo Feng pointed toward the Star Tower. From the side entrance at the base of the Star Tower, a series of treasures flew out and hovered above the waves—a total of 36 peculiar triangular pointed cones.

“The Huan Yu Cone?” Lord of Chaos’s eyes lit up, and he praised, “This is an extremely powerful set treasure, second only to peerless treasures. I’ll accept this treasure as a gift.”

Lord of Chaos understood his disciple’s sincerity. Having just refused him, he knew his disciple must feel uneasy inside. Taking the Huan Yu Cone directly would slightly ease Luo Feng’s discomfort.

The matter of the gift was settled. Though Luo Feng was reluctant, he didn’t dwell on it further and immediately said, “Master, I have a request and hope you can help me.”

“Speak,” Lord of Chaos nodded.

“My Endless Sea possesses the talent of ‘Creation,'” Luo Feng explained. “I require billions of living beings and substances from the Primordial Universe—whether they are living creatures or inanimate materials. I need them all. Although I prepared some last time, the Primordial Universe is so vast that only by mobilizing the full strength of the Hong Alliance can we gather sufficient and comprehensive resources.”

Lord of Chaos nodded solemnly, “This matter involves your breakthrough to becoming the strongest. Don’t worry. The entire Hong Alliance will be mobilized, and even if it means exhausting the entire Primordial Universe… all substances, treasures, and living beings will be prepared. Then how should we deliver them to you?”

“Just toss them into the endless Nether Sea,” Luo Feng swiftly responded. “And especially the living creatures! Across the universe, there are countless races, particularly some weaker ones with short lifespans. My future cultivation journey could span millions or even tens of millions of years… Even if we gather some living beings now, they might perish over that time. So I’ve been considering… we should capture a vast number, enough to sustain continuous reproduction. That way, I’ll always have subjects for my research.”

Lord of Chaos nodded, “Alright, this is simple. Prepare some world rings and let them live within a pocket world. What level of strength do you require from these living beings?”

“From the weakest up to World-King level,” Luo Feng replied. “The stronger the lifeform, the more difficult the analysis. Even reaching World-King level might take a very long time.”

“Alright, I’ll arrange it immediately,” Lord of Chaos said without hesitation.

“Also, when capturing them, there’s no need for many,” Luo Feng added. “Just a few from each race, enough for them to reproduce. I won’t harm their lives during my research. I need a wide variety, but for each species, just a few individuals will suffice.”

Luo Feng was concerned that his actions might lead to the extinction of some races.

After all, once Lord of Chaos gave the order, countless Cosmic Sovereigns under the Hong Alliance might truly act, potentially causing some smaller races to perish. Therefore, Luo Feng clarified in advance that only a minimal number should be captured.

“Master!” Luo Feng said, “I must continue on to the Cosmic Sea… This time I returned, but please do not reveal my whereabouts.”

“Your meaning is…” Lord of Chaos instantly understood, “Let them believe you are still inside the Cosmic Boat?”

“Exactly.”

Luo Feng nodded, “If word spreads that I’ve returned to the Primordial Universe and left the Cosmic Boat, I’m worried… that Pei Xing Sovereign might escape. Although the chance is small, I dare not take the risk! Once he enters the Purple Moon Holy Land’s universe, I’ll have no way of dealing with him.”

“Indeed,” Lord of Chaos nodded. He understood why Luo Feng had chosen to meet him in the endless Dark Sea.

The Endless Sea was Luo Feng’s domain.

Appearing here, no one would know that Luo Feng’s true body had already returned to the Primordial Universe once.

“During this period, I won’t reveal the Huan Yu Cone either,” Lord of Chaos teased with a smile, “until you’ve dealt with Pei Xing Sovereign.”

Luo Feng smiled and shook his head, “It’s all about luck. I don’t even know if Pei Xing Sovereign’s subordinates are exactly what I need.”

“Master, I’ll take my leave now.”

After bidding farewell, Luo Feng quickly departed from human territory and re-entered the Cosmic Sea, heading toward the Qing Feng Realm…

Advancing into the Qing Feng Realm still required an extremely long time. Meanwhile, in a distant and remote region of the Cosmic Sea, far beyond what any cultivator had ever discovered, even if one flew too deep into the Cosmic Sea, there was the danger of ‘getting lost.’

In this remote, uncharted region of the Cosmic Sea, far beyond the reach of the three great Samsara Eras and the two great Holy Lands,

“Boom~~~”

Within the endless chaotic currents, a colossal entity transformed into a dazzling beam of light, advancing at an ultra-high speed. Its velocity far surpassed a million or even ten million times the speed of light… completely ignoring any speed limitations. In terms of sheer size, it was slightly larger than a small universe. If observed closely, this ‘colossal entity,’ larger than a small universe, vaguely resembled a reclining human-like body.

This ‘human-like body,’ larger than a small universe, steadily flew forward at this incredible speed, moving along a straight path…

At this moment, this colossal entity was continuously heading toward the direction of the Primordial Universe…
