In the withered farmland covered with weeds, vague shadows of several beasts could be seen. On the long cracked highway lay various ruined cars, some overturned, while the dust on the highway told its history. A lone figure was walking along this highway.
“Protected area?” Luo Feng walked along the ruined highway, recalling the distant past when he, as a young rookie, first joined the Hammer Team and ventured into the wilderness.
He still remembered Chen Gu, who treated him well with thermal weapons…
The once-armless Zhang Ke…
The Wei brothers who were skilled in using curved sabers…
And of course, the fierce Captain Gao with his twin wind hammers…
“More than 100,000 years have passed.” Luo Feng shook his head with a smile. Some of the comrades who had shared hardships with him in those days… since Luo Feng had been wandering the universe all along, he had rarely visited his family, and had met these old friends only a few times. However, the Luo family had always secretly supported these old friends without affecting their lives. Yet time is merciless; more than half of those old friends had already aged and passed away.
Although the Luo family possessed endless wealth, resources for their own family members were strictly controlled.
As for those old friends, while they were helped, their strength was not forcibly elevated to the Cosmic level or Domain Lord level.
……
Nowadays, Earth still has many protected areas left over from the “Base City Era,” where some beasts are treated as rare animals and protected. These beasts survive on their own within the protected zones. Due to the long passage of time, in reality, some cracked highways, overturned cars, and dilapidated residential buildings were actually “rebuilt.”
New materials were used, allowing these structures to exist for an extremely long time.
Their aged appearances were merely for show. After all, how could concrete and other materials from those days possibly remain intact for over 100,000 years? Moreover, visiting these “protected areas” must be done by spaceship from a high-altitude aerial view. Entering them is strictly prohibited, as is attacking the beasts inside.
Of course…
Luo Feng simply entered with a teleportation move, and as the highest authority of Earth’s defense system, he naturally faced no obstacles.
“Whoosh!”
Luo Feng leapt up directly to the rooftop of a six-story residential building, sat down, gazed at the bright full moon in the sky, and listened to the faint beast roars echoing from the protected area.
“It feels a bit like back in the day,” Luo Feng murmured softly.
“Hmm?”
Luo Feng slightly furrowed his brows.
In a flash!
He had already vanished from the rooftop.
……
In a vast expanse of space about 800 light-years away from Earth, a magnificent palace complex stood amidst the stars. The palaces stretched endlessly, and powerful guards could be faintly seen patrolling the corridors that twisted for millions of kilometers—guards at the World Lord and even Eternal levels, making the place extremely imposing.
This was Luo Feng’s divine palace residence.
Inside the grandest main hall of the palace complex, twelve massive pillars each bore burning flames. Beside the throne, a towering figure abruptly appeared and sat down—it was Luo Feng, over ten thousand kilometers tall, gazing down at the three figures below in the hall.
“Pay homage to the Milky Way Lord.”
The three figures bowed simultaneously.
“Qianwu, Niu Zhou, Bei Ming.” Luo Feng looked down at them with a smile. “You’ve worked hard these days.” The three of them had been handling some trivial matters as per his orders, and only today had everything been completely resolved. Naturally, he had to meet with these three meritorious subjects. Moreover, in the days to come, there would be plenty of opportunities for these three Cosmic Elders to serve.
“It is our honor to serve the Lord,” Niu Zhou Elder said, looking up. Qianwu Sovereign and Bei Ming Elder also looked up at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng nodded with a smile: “From now on, everything here will be managed by the three of you. If you have any matters, you may contact me directly through the virtual universe. If it’s urgent, you may shatter the token I’ve given you.”
“Yes.”
The three Cosmic Elders bowed.
Luo Feng nodded: “Go.”
Qianwu Sovereign, Niu Zhou Elder, and Bei Ming Elder each slightly bowed before leaving the hall.
Luo Feng, his body stretching for ten thousand kilometers, rested his hands directly on the armrests of the throne, gazing upward at the towering divine palace. The palace was millions of kilometers high. Even with Luo Feng’s gaze, the grand main hall of the divine palace appeared as boundless as the endless starry sky.
“No wonder each divine palace is grander than the last,” Luo Feng murmured softly.
“Hmm, in the past period, I’ve been focusing on studying the second layer of the Star Tower, so I haven’t completely mastered the second layer of the Murderous Wu Wings, which was actually a bit easier. During this peaceful time on Earth, I’ll immerse myself in cultivation and first study the Murderous Wu Wings,” Luo Feng said, and with a flicker, his figure vanished.
The distance between here and Earth was less than a thousand light-years; a single teleportation would suffice.
As for the three Cosmic Elders, numerous Eternal guards, many World Lord guards, and a large number of servants—they were all arranged by the Virtual Universe Company. Normally, a Cosmic Sovereign would choose some Cosmic Elders as disciples. The number of Cosmic Sovereigns among the human race was limited, and most were unwilling to take on many disciples, so most Cosmic Elders couldn’t become disciples of a Cosmic Sovereign.
Chaos City Lord had urged Luo Feng to take disciples, but Luo Feng had two reasons for not doing so: first, he needed to focus on comprehending and cultivating, and second, his understanding of the Laws had not yet reached the Cosmic Sovereign level. Therefore, he hadn’t accepted any disciples. In the end, he only selected three Cosmic Elders to handle affairs for him.
These Cosmic Elders directly under Luo Feng were essentially relying on a great patron!
Having a patron or not made a world of difference.
Luo Feng first chose ‘Qianwu Sovereign’ and ‘Niu Zhou Elder,’ with whom he had a good relationship, and then Qianwu Sovereign recommended his friend ‘Bei Ming Elder.’ Thus, these three Cosmic Elders came under Luo Feng’s command, directly serving him. Having Luo Feng as a patron ensured that Qianwu Sovereign, at the very least, would never fall into the desperate situation he had faced in the past.
“Qianwu, it was your recommendation that allowed me to join the Lord’s service. I owe you a great debt…”
“Bei Ming, we have a bond of life and death. You’ve helped me many times; what debt are we talking about?”
Qianwu Sovereign, Niu Zhou Elder, and Bei Ming Elder had essentially turned their fortunes around.
Having a patron naturally made all the difference.
Needless to say, as soon as the three pledged their allegiance to Luo Feng, each was granted an ordinary Treasure, enough to make other Cosmic Elders who hadn’t managed to serve under a Cosmic Sovereign envious and resentful.
……
Luo Feng constructed a permanent channel connecting his divine kingdom and Earth!
He could easily return to his divine kingdom from Earth… and also reach Earth quickly from his divine kingdom. With this fixed channel, even in the case of spatial tremors and other phenomena, nothing could hinder his arrival.
……
Silent years passed quietly, and twelve years had passed in the blink of an eye.
“Haha, this Murderous Wu Wings turned out to be more difficult than I anticipated. It took me a full twelve years to finally comprehend the second layer.”
In a flash!
Luo Feng teleported directly from the Luo family mansion on Earth to a silent expanse of stars hundreds of light-years away. He dared not recklessly test the second layer’s power of the Murderous Wu Wings on Earth. With his current strength, even a slight release of the Murderous Wu Wings might destroy Earth, which would be regrettable.
In the silent starry sky, stars glittered.
Luo Feng, clad in silver armor and wings, stood in space, his eyes filled with anticipation: “Let me see the power of the second form of the Murderous Wu Wings.”
These ‘four-winged’ Murderous Wu Wings were top-tier Treasures. The first form alone was much stronger than the second form of the ‘two-winged’ Murderous Wu Wings from back then. Now, the second form should also surpass the third form of the ‘two-winged’ Murderous Wu Wings.
The first form… was called “Chaotic Time and Space.”
Then, what about the second form?
“Chi chi chi~~~” Countless burning divine energies surged into the Murderous Wu Wings on his back, rapidly spreading along the intricate engravings. The precise activation of these carvings instantly fully activated the second layer of the Murderous Wu Wings. Immediately, the silver wings began to transform.
Each feather became sharper, entwined with golden threads, adding golden patterns to the entire wings. A noble and powerful aura spread out.
Just this pressure alone made the Murderous Wu Wings even stronger than ordinary top-tier Treasures.
“Boom!!!”
Suddenly… the endless starry sky was faintly enveloped in a golden glow, infinite and boundless.
Luo Feng stood frozen in midair.
He remained silent for a long time.
Even if the power of the second form of the Murderous Wu Wings was formidable, it wouldn’t shock Luo Feng. However, the power displayed by the Murderous Wu Wings at this moment completely astonished him.
“This… this…” Luo Feng looked in all directions.
“1.2 light-years away, there’s a star-level alien beast living on that planet.” Luo Feng turned his gaze to another direction. “2.9 light-years away, there’s a construction team from the Galactic Construction Department on that planet, modifying it.”
“3.8 light-years away, a spaceship is continuously flying.”
“19.6 light-years away, a team of World Lords from my divine palace is patrolling in space.”
……
Vastly, centered on Luo Feng, an invisible and faint golden glow covered a radius of 80 light-years! Within this golden range, everything was under Luo Feng’s control—a complete mastery and awareness.
“How could this be? How could this be…”
The more Luo Feng sensed everything, the more astonished he became. “Even a Cosmic Sovereign, when exerting control over a region of space-time, wouldn’t have such an absurdly vast range!”
“Suppression!”
With a single activation, the power of restraint within this 80-light-year radius surged, causing the speed of spaceships within this vast region of space to sharply decrease, and some planets began to tremble. Fortunately, Luo Feng deliberately controlled it; otherwise, at full power, those planets would have been annihilated long ago.
“Full suppression.” Luo Feng pointed his finger toward a distant star.
Boom~~~
That star and its three large planets and numerous asteroids were instantly annihilated under a power capable of destroying even Cosmic Elders. An entire star system vanished from space.
“Such immense power.” Luo Feng directed the full suppression onto himself, instantly feeling an overwhelming pressure. “It’s even stronger than the suppression and restraint of a Cosmic Sovereign’s control over space-time!”
Luo Feng had personally experienced the spatial-temporal restraint of a Cosmic Sovereign!
Therefore, he could clearly judge… his control over this vast cosmic space spanning 80 light-years in radius was a notch stronger than a Cosmic Sovereign’s control over a region of space-time. Of course, it was definitely weaker than the control exerted by the strongest Cosmic beings over the universe!
“In terms of range! In terms of power! It surpasses the Cosmic Sovereign’s control over space-time.”
“My Murderous Wu Wings…”
Luo Feng was overjoyed. “The first form causes space-time chaos, the second form grants complete control over space-time! And it exceeds the Cosmic Sovereign’s control, with a range far beyond it.” As Luo Feng deliberately controlled it, the vast, hazy golden glow rapidly shrank, and in the blink of an eye, it narrowed from a radius of 80 light-years down to just around Luo Feng.
“The range can be expanded or contracted at will.”
“Power is overwhelming.” Luo Feng smiled. “From now on, with this move, I naturally control space-time. Who would dare doubt that I’m not a Cosmic Sovereign? Haha…” The activation of the second form of the Murderous Wu Wings had such immense power, an unexpected yet extremely pleasing discovery for Luo Feng.
“The second form of the Murderous Wu Wings shall be named…” The silver-armored, silver-winged Luo Feng, enveloped in endless golden light, spoke softly, “Golden Realm!”
