“Hmm, I know that,” Luo Feng nodded.
Whoosh!
Hiss!
The eerie and shrill wind pierced directly into the heart, bewitching the soul. Yet Luo Feng and Mo Luo continued standing there, conversing normally.
“The second pattern is what has allowed me to survive until now,” Mo Luo said with a smile. “I categorize the power of the Demon Note into levels: ‘Apprentice,’ ‘Stellar,’ ‘Constant Star,’ ‘Cosmic,’ ‘Domain Lord,’ and ‘World Lord.’ Luo Feng, you must have noticed that within the Demon Note Mountains, the bewitchment primarily ranges from Stellar to Domain Lord levels, correct?”
Luo Feng nodded.
Indeed, it was exceedingly rare for the Enchanting Melody to ensnare a World Lord!
“The pattern I discovered is this!”
“If a Constant Star-level Demon Voice emerges, there must be a Cosmic-level Demon Voice lurking in this region!”
“If a Stellar-level Demon Song emerges, there will undoubtedly be Domain Lord-level Demon Songs in this region!”
“If an Apprentice-level Demon Tone appears, the surrounding areas will definitely have World Lord-level Demon Tones,” Mo Luo’s eyes gleamed with confidence. “The weaker the Demon Tone’s power, the more likely it is for the surrounding areas to give birth to extremely powerful Demon Tones!”
“Oh?” Luo Feng was stunned.
He swiftly recollected the locations he had traversed over the past hundred days. Throughout this period, only the ravenous cavern within the glacial mountain’s stone forest had ever made Luo Feng sense the peril of the Demon’s Whisper. Truth be told, he had never truly regarded the power of the Demon’s Whisper elsewhere as noteworthy. From the ranks of Apprentice to World Lord, these eerie whispers posed no genuine threat to Luo Feng—hence, he had never bothered to discern any underlying patterns.
Now thinking carefully!
With Luo Feng’s memory and computational speed rivaling that of an intelligent light-brain, he swiftly recalled numerous places he had experienced and the intensity of the demonic whispers he had sensed.
“Right,” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.
It was indeed like that!
Certain regions’ Demonic Sound energy lingered between the Constant Star and Cosmic tiers. Others fluctuated between Stellar and Domain Lord grades. Only in exceptional cases did the Demonic Sound manifest between Apprentice and World Lord ranks. With the passage of time, the spatial distribution of potent Demonic Sound zones shifted relentlessly, compelling all practitioners to remain in perpetual motion.
(Note: “魔音” has been rendered as “Demonic Sound” to convey its mystical and formidable nature within the fantasy context. The power level terminology follows conventional fantasy progression hierarchies while maintaining the original tiered structure. The translation preserves the dynamic, ever-changing threat that forces constant migration—a hallmark of high-stakes fantasy environments.)
“Yet, these hold no value for me,” Luo Feng mused silently. “Under ordinary circumstances, the bewitching melodies within the Demon Song Mountains that can ensnare a World Lord are already extraordinary. Unless it’s one of those enigmatic caverns! Thus… aside from those mysterious realms, there truly exists no threat to me.”
…
Luo Feng and Mo Luo, the two princes of the Virtual Universe Company, advanced together.
“Luo Feng, once we emerge from this deep passage, let us part ways,” Mo Luo spoke as they soared through the air. “The Demon Sound Mountains are riddled with countless caverns and tunnels. Our paths diverge, and remaining together would compel one to yield to the other. I doubt you would find that agreeable either.”
“Haha… Alright, we’ll part ways ahead,” Luo Feng nodded.
With Mo Luo around, Luo Feng had to be extra careful when utilizing his Demon Killer Clan doppelgänger.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The two flew rapidly and soon exited the passage.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng looked ahead in surprise.
Before them was a vast icy plain, dotted with numerous enormous craters. Each crater varied in size, some spanning over a hundred kilometers wide, others several kilometers. Yet the crater bottoms were unfathomably deep and dark.
Luo Feng and Mo Luo landed.
“What place is this?” Mo Luo cautiously approached the edge of a crater.
“Not sure,” Luo Feng also walked to the crater’s edge. It looked more like an abyss, as its depth couldn’t be seen.
Luo Feng glanced around.
An endless expanse!
Across this icy plain, countless abysses were visible everywhere.
“I feel something’s off,” Mo Luo frowned.
“Yeah,” Luo Feng nodded.
The two peerless prodigies from Virtual Cosmos Corporation scrutinized their surroundings with utmost care, perceiving the growing intensity of the demonic melody.
Boom! Without warning, Mo Luo beside Luo Feng suddenly kicked. It felt like a volcanic eruption. The golden battle boot struck Luo Feng’s waist as he was startled and couldn’t react. The kick, imbued with Domain Lord ninth-stage auxiliary metal life force, sent Luo Feng flying like a cannonball directly into the nearby bottomless abyss.
Luo Feng felt a tremendous force instantly surge through his entire body. Even after being dampened by the Mo Yun Vine, the impact still forced him to cough up a mouthful of blood involuntarily.
Spit!
Blood sprayed!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Luo Feng’s arms shot out numerous deep red vines. Initially thin, they quickly grew extremely thick. The vines wildly extended, aiming to grab Mo Luo.
Boom!
Suddenly, the bottomless abyss unleashed an unimaginably terrifying suction force, akin to what Luo Feng had experienced in the Devouring Cave. Alongside the staggering pull, a silent demonic whisper surged directly into Luo Feng’s mind. At that moment, the Mo Yun Vine sensed its master’s peril. Abandoning its attempt to seize the fleeing Mo Luo, it desperately lashed its vines around the rocks and ice at the abyss’s edge.
“Ahh!”
“Break through!”
Snapping back from the demonic sound assault, Luo Feng realized this attack paled in comparison to the devouring cave’s previous onslaught.
“Mo Luo!” Luo Feng’s eyes turned blood-red with rage, roaring at Mo Luo who had already flown kilometers above the abyss.
Why?
Why did Mo Luo suddenly attack him?
Luo Feng had a good impression of Mo Luo, and both were core members of the Virtual Universe Company. Plus, Luo Feng believed Mo Luo wasn’t capable of harming him! Indeed… in a surprise attack, Luo Feng with his clones couldn’t lose. But at this moment…
“Luo Feng, this is the Demon Sound Mountains. Killing you here is beyond reproach,” Mo Luo’s chilling gaze bore down upon Luo Feng from above, his voice reverberating through the air like an ominous echo. In an instant, a meticulously crafted firearm materialized in his grasp.
“A laser gun,” Luo Feng’s expression changed.
Daring to take out a laser gun meant Mo Luo was confident it could kill Luo Feng, so it should be an E-grade laser gun.
“C6-grade laser gun,” Babata’s voice sounded.
Hiss!
High above, Mo Luo directly fired a laser beam downward into the abyss, striking far over a hundred meters from Luo Feng, deeper into the abyss. Then, Mo Luo swiftly vanished like fleeing a disaster.
…
Suddenly kicking Luo Feng into the bottomless abyss, then flying high above and firing a laser beam toward the abyss’s bottom with the laser gun before directly fleeing.
Though described slowly, the entire sequence probably lasted less than 0.1 seconds! Such a C-grade laser gun required virtually no charging time!
Boom!
The terrifying suction force acted upon him.
Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!
Under the overwhelming suction force, the vines shattered one after another. Yet Luo Feng showed no trace of fear—instead, his eyes burned with wrath and savagery: “Mo Luo… you dare?! If you seek my death, then I’ll drag you down with me!!!” To think a supposedly peerless genius would resort to such despicable means to eliminate him.
“Demon Slayer Clan clone!”
“Transform!”
In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng vanished, switching to his Demon Slayer Clan clone and transforming into a shuttle, desperately attempting to flee outward.
Suddenly—
“Roar~~”
From the depths of the bottomless abyss came a low growl. Simultaneously, the space around the shuttle Luo Feng transformed into began to ripple. The terrifying suction force fully acted upon the shuttle.
The shuttle rapidly plummeted!
“What?” Luo Feng was shocked.
“Transform!”
The shuttle transformed into a cone only as thick as a thumb, yet the suction force remained! The cone continued to plummet.
“Transform!”
The cone became a massive rock blocking the entire deep cave, yet the powerful suction force still acted upon it, causing the huge rock to continuously plummet, creating sparks as it scraped against the abyss’s edge, with countless small rocks tumbling down.
“Transform!”
“Transform!”
…
Luo Feng instantly transformed countless times, yet no matter how he changed, the suction force remained terrifyingly strong. Moreover, as he plummeted, the abyss’s terrifying low growl grew increasingly unsettling.
“It’s him, Mo Luo!” Remaining calm while plummeting, Luo Feng recalled Mo Luo firing the laser gun into the abyss’s depths. At that time, Luo Feng had been puzzled… why Mo Luo used a C-grade laser gun to fire into the bottomless abyss, seemingly without much effect.
Now it became clear…
Mo Luo’s shot was meant to awaken some ‘being’ deep within the abyss, a being possessing a similar ‘devouring’ ability like the Golden Horned Beast. Actively using some suction ability, it directly targeted Luo Feng. Thus, no matter how Luo Feng transformed, the suction force remained immense.
Had the being been asleep, casually releasing suction force across the entire cave entrance, Luo Feng could have transformed small and escaped.
“Mo Luo must have known the danger here and deliberately came here to orchestrate everything,” Luo Feng inwardly seethed.
“Transform!”
Plummeting rapidly, Luo Feng’s final transformation was into an ice bear beast.
The ice bear Luo Feng continued plummeting, sinking deeper into the abyss.
“There must be a way out, there must be a way out,” the ice bear Luo Feng instantly vanished into the pitch-black, unfathomable abyss.
…
Moments later.
A figure flashed, standing at the abyss’s edge, gazing downward—it was Mo Luo with sharp eyes.
“Luo Feng!”
Mo Luo’s lips curled slightly as he gazed into the terrifying, bottomless abyss. “How naive you are. This is the Demon Sound Mountains—killing you bears no sin! With your talent, even if this qualification battle poses no threat to me, future ones might. The fewer potential threats, the better.”
“On the path to the peak, I will use any means necessary,” Mo Luo whispered softly. His experiences as a war orphan and in the horrifying training camps for assassins had changed Mo Luo’s approach to doing things.
Swoosh!
Mo Luo swiftly vanished, leaving only the ancient bottomless abyss, unchanged for billions of years. No one else knew that a peerless genius of the Virtual Universe Company, ‘Luo Feng,’ had been swallowed by this abyss!
