Chapter 849: Secret Pattern Weapon

The enormous treasure left behind by the indigenous people of the Flame Sacrifice Continent was truly astonishing.

“My God,” Luo Feng murmured.

“This is… this is really…” Luo Feng blinked, his entire body trembling with excitement. “I’ve struck gold! No wonder the likes of Zhenjin King and Zhizhong King fought so desperately over this tower’s treasure. The likes of Yechen King and Huci King were filled with desire as well. It seems their knowledge surpassed mine—they understood just how incredible this treasure was.”

“It’s not just astonishing.”

“It’s absolutely mind-blowing,” Luo Feng muttered to himself.

Within each of the three world rings, treasures of different levels were stored, and each ring contained a message.

Luo Feng flipped his hand, and three metal tablets appeared in his palm. The tablets were engraved with densely packed tiny characters, all written in the language of the indigenous people of the Flame Sacrifice Continent, describing various aspects of the treasure.

“Surviving members of our clan, within this world ring are treasures meant for cultivators at the World Lord, Domain Lord, Cosmic-level, Star-Lord, and Planet-Lord tiers. Although many of these items are inexpensive, their sheer quantity is overwhelming. The entire world is filled with countless treasures, and their total value is immense. You must use them carefully, considering that our clan must endure for billions of years before rising again. Quantity must be controlled, and nurturing future generations is the most important task, for these young, weak members of our clan are our future. This world ring… represents our future.”

“Clan members, this world ring contains treasures meant for Immortal-level cultivators. Although the quantity is far less than the previous one, the total value is even greater. Our clan, having barely survived the catastrophe, faces great difficulties. It is the Immortal-level survivors who must carve out a living space for us. They must have sufficient treasures to survive and thrive in the universe.”

“Clan members, this final world ring contains a true Pattern Weapon. Pattern Weapons represent the pinnacle of our civilization’s achievements. Over countless years, our Venerables have painstakingly crafted fewer than a hundred Pattern Weapons. During our clan’s recent catastrophe, these Pattern Weapons and some treasures of the Venerables were distributed among one hundred inheritance towers. Some towers contain Pattern Weapons, while others contain treasures used by the Venerables. Although Pattern Weapons are of limited use to Venerables, their value in the universe is no less than that of Venerable treasures, because of their immense power. As for how to use this Pattern Weapon and its abilities, detailed instructions are inscribed upon it. This single Pattern Weapon is worth far more than the combined value of the previous two world rings!”

Luo Feng stared at the three metal tablets, stunned.

Three world rings.

One for those below the Immortal level—World Lords, Domain Lords, Cosmic-level cultivators, and other weaker clan members.

One for the Immortals.

And one for the clan’s protection—a Pattern Weapon!

“They really weren’t kidding.”

“A Pattern Weapon, the pinnacle achievement of the indigenous people of the Flame Sacrifice Continent? Painstakingly crafted over countless years, fewer than a hundred ever made? And its price far exceeds the combined wealth of the first two world rings?” Luo Feng, holding the third world ring, willed it open and pulled out the only weapon inside.

Whoosh!

The weapon was small and delicate, somewhat resembling an armguard. Its primary material was black, with a faint, hazy starry appearance.

“It says the usage of the Pattern Weapon is inscribed in detail?” Luo Feng frowned as he looked at it, unable to understand. He immediately channeled a bit of his world force into the armguard to investigate. The moment he did, the ‘mental imprint’ within his world force automatically merged into the armguard.

The Pattern Weapon armguard instantly recognized Luo Feng as its master.

“Convenient indeed.” As Luo Feng effortlessly established a bond with the Pattern Weapon, a stream of information flowed directly into his consciousness.

The information detailed the weapon’s nature.

It was named the ‘Space-Locking Arm,’ one of fewer than a hundred Pattern Weapons known to exist in the universe, taking the form of an armguard.

The most formidable and enigmatic aspect of our clan was the ‘Sacrificial Pattern’—a unique path uncovered and mastered by our ancestral powerhouses within a cosmic secret realm. It represented the most suitable path for our lineage. The towers you ride upon are the most fundamental application of the Sacrificial Pattern.

The towers contain countless Sacrificial Patterns, ultimately forming abilities such as repelling detection and spatial sealing.

But these are ‘Solid Patterns,’ which require a physical medium and have significant limitations. They are not effective for combat. Thus, our ancestors eventually created the more powerful ‘Void Patterns.’ Each Pattern Weapon contains complex structures forming Void Patterns. Once an energy source is provided, the Void Patterns disperse into the void.

The range of influence is entirely under control.

The best ‘energy source’ is Immortal Power Crystals. Never use your own Immortal Power, for Pattern Weapons are immensely powerful and consume energy at an incredible rate. This consumption is absolute, completely depleting the energy. Using your own Immortal Power would be equivalent to burning your Immortal Body, which is not worth it.

There are various types of Immortal Power Crystals in the universe. The stronger the energy they contain, the longer they can be used.

The ‘Space-Locking Arm’ has the function of dispersing Void Patterns, within which range spatial fluctuations are completely locked.

No teleportation!

Thus, the ‘Space-Locking Arm’ is a nightmare for masters of Spatial Law, though it affects the wielder as well—preventing them from teleporting too. This makes the Space-Locking Arm most suitable for practitioners of the Time Law. For formidable Time Law masters capable of casting ‘Time Freeze,’ their opponents would be immobilized from teleporting, granting them an overwhelming advantage.

The Space-Locking Arm contains Void Patterns internally.

Therefore, as long as the Space-Locking Arm is carried, a certain range centered on the user is enveloped in ‘Spatial Sealing,’ far more effective than towers. Towers have limited space and are difficult to move with the user, and combat easily damages the tower’s structure and the Solid Patterns on it. Void Patterns, however, are indestructible.

The Space-Locking Arm’s range can be divided into three levels.

First, a radius of ten thousand kilometers.

Second, a radius of one hundred thousand kilometers.

Third, a radius of one million kilometers.

The greater the range, the exponentially higher the energy consumption. Given the immense energy drain of the Space-Locking Arm, it should only be deployed against true enemies in life-or-death battles. Never use it recklessly in everyday situations. May the future champions of our clan wield this Pattern Weapon to safeguard our people and lead our clan to resurgence!

“Wow!”

“Wow!”

“Wow!” Luo Feng felt his head spinning with excitement, overwhelmed with exhilaration, muttering “Wow” three times in a row.

“I… I… I’ve really turned my luck around. A huge turnaround!” Luo Feng, sensing the information in his mind, was overwhelmed with excitement. The battle for the tower’s treasure was truly worth it. When he first entered the tower and discovered the unique patterns inside, he had already been envious.

In the tower, he had a clear advantage in battle.

But large-scale battles could destroy the tower, and the limited space of the tower had only allowed Luo Feng to imagine its potential.

“Pattern Weapon? Sacrificial Pattern?”

“It was discovered and comprehended by the ancestral powerhouses of the indigenous people of the Flame Sacrifice Continent in a cosmic secret realm, forming a path for powerhouses?” Luo Feng marveled. “Truly astonishing, with both Solid and Void Patterns.”

The three world rings of the tower’s treasure, especially the last one, brought Luo Feng immense surprise and joy.

…

“Let me try it out,” Luo Feng, unable to contain his excitement, extended his left arm.

Whoosh!

The Space-Locking Arm immediately attached itself to Luo Feng’s left arm, partially merging with his skin. At the same time, the hazy starry black surface suddenly made a ‘clack’ sound and cracked open, revealing an energy slot inside.

“It requires a high-quality Immortal Power Crystal?” Luo Feng smiled. “I still have two Fire God Source Crystals, each worth 200 million points. One of them, if detonated, is comparable to the self-destruction of a King-level Immortal.”

Fire God Source Crystals, Thunder God Source Crystals, and others…

These were highly concentrated crystals of Immortal Power, suitable for use as energy sources and capable of direct detonation. Originally designed by the Machine Race to power large machinery with exceptionally pure and potent energy, many powerful individuals later uncovered their explosive potential, transforming Fire God Source Crystals and similar variants into devastating explosive weapons.

“Snap!” Luo Feng placed one Fire God Source Crystal into the slot, filling only a third of it.

Hissing~~ The slot instantly locked in place, and energy flowed smoothly.

“Click!” The surface closed and sealed again.

The entire armguard was now airtight.

“Haha…” Luo Feng willed, and a silver armor automatically covered the armguard, protecting it well. In fact, the Space-Locking Arm was made of extremely expensive materials, much harder and stronger than the chain treasure chest. It was extremely difficult for even a Venerable to damage it.

“Lock Space!”

The Space-Locking Arm had already recognized Luo Feng as its master, so he could control it effortlessly.

“Minimum range, a ten-thousand-kilometer radius, spatial sealing.” Luo Feng easily activated it.

The Pattern Weapon ‘Space-Locking Arm,’ powered by a Fire God Source Crystal worth 200 million points, had more than enough energy. It activated instantly. “Buzz~~~” Centered on the Space-Locking Arm, an invisible, strange energy rapidly spread in all directions. This was another kind of wave, very close to the fluctuations of cosmic space.

Within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius of the void.

The sky, mountains, grasslands, and the soil beneath all bore faint Void Sacrificial Patterns. These patterns were ethereal, barely discernible. Even a punch would meet nothingness, for they were ‘Void Patterns,’ indestructible by nature.

To destroy them, one would have to destroy the Space-Locking Arm itself.

“Haha…” Luo Feng’s face lit up with joy, looking around, gazing at the sky and the earth below.

It was real.

With his Demon Slayer Clan avatar’s precise perception of cosmic space, he could clearly sense that the entire ten-thousand-kilometer radius of cosmic space was completely sealed, devoid of any spatial fluctuations. Teleportation was impossible.
