Chapter 1454: The Dim Lands

In less than half a day, Luo Feng arrived at Qingfeng Realm, a domain surrounded entirely by endless waters.

Hua!

Luo Feng dove straight into the waters, teleporting toward his target—the Wing Space. It was in the ‘Wing Space’ that he had previously obtained the white wing and the Source of the Murderous Wu Wings. If following the normal route to the Darkened Land, he would have to enter the mountains, traverse the vast inner regions, and only then reach the core area.

However, another passage through the ‘Wing Space’ led directly to the core region.

“Back when I first came here, I was so cautious,” Luo Feng thought, as he now skillfully maneuvered the Star Tower through the Wing Space and into another passage. He had become very familiar with this path. During his attempts to break through to the third tier of the Divine Body, Luo Feng had even traveled along this passage to the edge of the Darkened Land multiple times.

“It was here that I obtained the ‘Source.'”

“If only I could obtain another Source. Unfortunately, such opportunities are rare and unpredictable.” Luo Feng sighed. The Source’s power was immense. Even a Void True God would struggle to damage a Divine Artifact (Supreme Treasure), yet the Source, channeled through the Murderous Wu Wings, could unleash countless blades capable of doing so.

This ultimate trump card was naturally something Luo Feng longed to have more of.

Therefore, back in the Jin World, even trillions of eons ago, he had asked General Xueyong to use mechanical stream treasures to convert and store divine energy, attempting to carry it out of the Jin World.

Unfortunately…

The moment it was carried outside, the converted energy would automatically dissipate and vanish.

“Invisible supreme operational rules are affecting everything,” Luo Feng pondered. “All the powerful beings within the Jin World cannot emerge, for doing so would mean certain death. Even converted divine energy cannot be taken out. Only inanimate objects, such as weapons, treasures, blood, or fur, can be brought out. If Generals like Xueyong could come out, they would have already annihilated the World Beast army long ago.”

Although the World Beasts were formidable, they were still in the embryonic stage.

They posed a catastrophic threat to all species in the Cosmic Sea.

But for the Jin World, they were nothing more than a trivial nuisance. For example, sending a million True Gods aboard a single Jinluo World could easily sweep through the entire World Beast nest. Or even an Eternal True God could do the same. Unfortunately, none of them could come out. Clearly, invisible supreme rules governed everything.

“With the fall of the Jin Kingdom, all life within the Jin World can only remain trapped in that small universe forever, with no hope of escape,” Luo Feng sighed.

…

Sou!

The Star Tower charged forward relentlessly, teleporting at times and flying at high speed at others, unafraid of any danger. Of course, there were terrifying areas that one could enter but never escape, such as the ‘Three-Level Abyss’ and the ‘Ice Wind Demon Cave,’ which he had to carefully avoid. These places were nightmares—perhaps his strength could allow him to escape if he got trapped, but Luo Feng dared not take that risk. If he couldn’t escape, he would truly be in a dire situation.

Inside the scorching magma.

The Star Tower continued its advance.

Rising from the magma layer, endless whirlwinds and vortices stretched into the distance. Each whirlwind resembled the blade radiance of a supreme powerhouse, wielding unpredictable tearing force. Naturally, the Star Tower plunged effortlessly into them. Though inevitably affected by the whirlwinds and slightly thrown off course, Luo Feng also harnessed these forces to accelerate his advance.

“Just ahead lies the Myriad Waves Waters!”

“Once I reach the Myriad Waves Waters, I’ll be near the Darkened Land,” Luo Feng thought. “Zhengjia King and Qiuyan Ancestor are both in the Myriad Waves Waters.”

Luo Feng had visited this place several times.

He had secretly noticed Zhengjia King and Qiuyan Ancestor before, but to avoid attracting the attention of the World Beasts, he had never acted. Compared to the catastrophe posed by the World Beasts, Zhengjia King and the others were mere ants.

“When the time comes for me to openly confront the World Beasts, I’ll take the opportunity to eliminate you as well.”

Honglong~~~

The Star Tower flew straight into the Myriad Waves Waters, heading toward the Darkened Land. Ahead, at the end of the endless waters, lay a darkness so profound it sent shivers through the soul. Before the World Beasts were born, anyone who ventured deep into the Darkened Land would be eternally lost, unable to escape.

Generally, only those who dared to explore the edges or those with avatars as cosmic overlords dared to venture deeper, knowing that even if they perished, they would only lose one avatar.

“Morosa,” the Star Tower halted at the edge of the Darkened Land, gazing into the endless darkness.

…

Inside Luo Feng’s small universe.

“Morosa, give me the star map of the World Beast nest,” the divine energy avatar said. “Also, mark the location of each of the millions of World Beasts.”

Morosa respectfully replied, “Yes, Master. However, although I can sense the location of each World Beast from afar, due to the great distance, the coordinates I provide can only indicate a relatively small area. I cannot pinpoint an exact point.”

“That’s fine,” the divine energy avatar nodded.

As Morosa concentrated on sensing, his body began to emit threads of World Beast energy, floating into the air and coalescing into a massive spherical model approximately a million kilometers in diameter.

“The entire World Beast nest is spherical in shape.”

“It affects all senses; if you Cosmic Sea True Gods venture too deep, you will become lost,” Morosa explained. Then, on the surface of the million-kilometer spherical model, countless glowing dots began to appear, each surrounded by a halo. “Each glowing dot represents a World Beast, and the halo’s range indicates its possible location. I can only provide a general area.”

Following this, the massive model of the World Beast nest began to display mountains, rivers, and other features.

“The Darkened Land, some other materials.”

“Although I am your servant, I cannot sense your location,” Morosa said.

The divine energy avatar nodded.

In the Cosmic Sea, it was inherently difficult to sense locations, which was why ‘getting lost in the Cosmic Sea’ occurred. Even though Morosa was Luo Feng’s servant, he still couldn’t sense Luo Feng’s exact location. Conversely, he could sense the locations of all the World Beasts, one of their innate abilities.

“Master can use those mountains, rivers, and large rocks to determine your coordinates,” Morosa said. “Of course, you could also use the positions of the World Beasts to determine your coordinates, though that would easily alert them. Currently, excluding myself, there are over 9.2 million World Beasts.”

“Good. Also, mark the Myriad Waves Waters,” the divine energy avatar ordered.

“I cannot mark them,” Morosa replied. “The Darkened Land is spherical in shape, and internally, it is constantly and slowly rotating. The positions of internal features like mountains remain unchanged. However, from an external perspective, the Darkened Land is always changing, which is one of the reasons it’s easy to get lost.”

“In that case.”

The divine energy avatar gave instructions directly, “You should closely monitor any changes in the World Beasts’ positions and update the model accordingly. It must always reflect the current state.”

“Yes, Master,” Morosa obeyed unconditionally.

…

“Go in.”

At the edge of the Myriad Waves Waters, the Star Tower finally flew directly into the endless darkness.

The Star Tower shrank.

Luo Feng carefully maneuvered the Star Tower. Although it was dark, for a powerhouse like Luo Feng, it was as if there was light. Through his influence on space-time, he could still see extremely far distances.

“Silence.”

“It’s as if nothing exists.” Luo Feng held his breath, yet remained cautious.

At this moment, he had no idea of his exact location. He must rely on reference points within the Darkened Land to determine it. Before finding those reference points… was the most dangerous period.

“I hope my ‘Invisible and Formless’ World Beast ability goes unnoticed.”

“If it is discovered, my first plan will fail.”

After all, there were over 9.2 million World Beasts in the nest, with an extremely high density. Like the Ax King, who was soon killed after entering. Like Hong and the Eye Demon God, who were quickly discovered upon entering… it could be said that Luo Feng was almost certainly going to be detected. It all depended on whether the ‘Invisible and Formless’ ability was powerful enough to prevent the World Beasts from noticing any flaws.

“Hide!”

The Star Tower vanished, and Luo Feng appeared in the void, then his body transformed.

“Change!”

A floating stone was seen moving through the Darkened Land, teleporting at times and drifting at others.

This stone had no trace of life energy, appearing as a normal rock.

As it moved forward.

It sensed spatial fluctuations. Luo Feng believed his teleportation distance was greater than that of the World Beasts, and his sensing range was naturally farther. If nothing seemed amiss… he would teleport repeatedly.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng was startled and immediately stopped.

Moments later—

Hua!

A hideous, ferocious World Beast teleported in, immediately detecting the presence of the rock through its spatial sensing.

“Hmm?” The World Beast’s two blood-red eyes fixed on the rock. “Why did this rock suddenly appear? Could it be debris from a shattered mountain caused by other creatures fighting?”

“Hmph!” This ferocious World Beast directly stepped on the rock. With a bang, the rock shattered into seventeen or eighteen pieces, and then the World Beast left indifferently.

Luo Feng sensed this, waiting a long time after the World Beast left.

“Condense!”

The rock reformed but had changed into a different shape.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

It teleported forward again.

…

Thus, Luo Feng cautiously used the power of ‘Invisible and Formless,’ allowing the World Beasts to remain unaware of his presence. Along the way, Luo Feng encountered three World Beasts. By analyzing their positions, Luo Feng determined his approximate coordinates. Finally, he arrived at a floating mountain range.

This mountain range was trillions of kilometers high, stretching out endlessly, floating within the Darkened Land.

“Hu.”

A rock landed on the mountains and instantly transformed into a humanoid figure.

Luo Feng exhaled in relief: “My position is now completely determined.”

Determining the coordinates was only the first step.

“With the power of ‘Invisible and Formless,’ the World Beasts can’t recognize me,” Luo Feng thought. “But once I engage in battle with them, if one detects me, all of them will know, forcing me to resort to the alternative plan.”

“It’s destined that I can only ambush one World Beast.”

“If that’s the case… strike the leader first. Since I can only ambush one, I’ll directly target ‘Beidi’!” A sharp glint flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes. Morosa had already marked the top hundred strongest World Beasts in the nest, and among them, Beidi was undoubtedly the strongest.
