The microcosm stretched boundlessly, with a diameter of three hundred million kilometers. Chaotic streams of energy filled the entire microcosm, creating a scene of utter chaos.
At the center of this microcosm was the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, whose divine body sustained the operation of the entire microcosm.
“Strange! There’s another outsider Venerable here. Hmph… It’s the Bloodthirsty Fog Venerable from the Thorn Ring Alliance, notorious for his mastery of illusions. He appears to still be scanning his surroundings, completely oblivious to the situation,” the Golden-Horned Giant Beast mused the moment he successfully activated the microcosm. He had detected the presence of an outsider Venerable within the microcosm’s domain—clearly an unlucky soul caught in the crossfire.
In fact, Luo Feng had deliberately reduced the size of the “microcosm.”
The microcosm could expand to a diameter of ten billion kilometers or shrink to one hundred million kilometers. As the diameter decreased, the cosmic membrane would gradually thicken, while increasing the diameter would cause the membrane to thin. Of course, this was based on Luo Feng maintaining the same level of divine power input. If the divine power supply increased, the cosmic membrane could become thicker and its power even stronger.
Despite its diameter being only three hundred million kilometers, it still pulled an outsider into its grasp.
“It seems that during my previous battle with the Zhenyan Venerable, he must have witnessed it,” Luo Feng mused inwardly.
The Bloodthirsty Fog Venerable had been observing from afar for some time and had seen the Golden-Horned Giant Beast and the Zhenyan Venerable fighting at the edges of their treasure domains. Since he had already seen the Golden-Horned Beast chasing the Zhenyan Venerable into a spatial vortex, he quickly made some deductions.
“In that case, consider yourself unlucky.”
…
Luo Feng’s thoughts passed in an instant, less than a ten-thousandth of a second. Immediately after, the Golden-Horned Giant Beast charged directly toward the Zhenyan Venerable.
“What? Where is this place?” the Zhenyan Venerable looked around in alarm at the endless chaotic streams. “Is this the Cosmic Sea? No, I was clearly on the Primitive Star. How did I suddenly end up here? Could it be a domain-type treasure? He clearly possesses one domain-type treasure, how could he use another one?”
Boom!
A golden river surged from the distance, with the Nine-Headed Beast leading the charge at its forefront. Behind the Nine-Headed Beast came the Golden-Horned Giant Beast.
“Stop it!” the Zhenyan Venerable’s eyes burned with madness as infinite black light surged forth to resist.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
It was as if a heavy truck easily crushed low sports cars. With the support of the microcosm’s cosmic essence, the golden river’s power instantly surged to a higher level. Meanwhile, the Zhenyan Venerable’s treasure domain was suppressed by the cosmic essence of the microcosm, causing its power to drop a level.
This reversal meant that the previously evenly matched treasure domains now had a significant gap.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Like ice shattering, the endless black light was easily scattered, unable to protect the Zhenyan Venerable.
“What!” The Zhenyan Venerable’s expression turned to shock.
“Escape!” The Zhenyan Venerable turned to flee.
However, as the golden river scattered the black light, it directly surrounded him. At this point, the Nine-Xiao River’s power, having increased a level, made it extremely difficult for the Zhenyan Venerable to move within it. In an instant, the Golden-Horned Giant Beast had already arrived, standing before the Zhenyan Venerable.
“Golden-Horned Giant Beast!” the Zhenyan Venerable roared, swinging the light shuttles in his eight arms.
“It’s useless,” the Golden-Horned Giant Beast growled.
The golden light flared again!
Under the sharp and cold golden light, the eight seemingly beautiful black light shuttles were so fragile that they were immediately knocked away. The Zhenyan Venerable’s divine body appeared equally fragile before the long, sharp horn. As a terrifying impact that slightly shook the entire space approached, the Zhenyan Venerable’s eyes filled with unwillingness. Then, silently, his divine body completely disintegrated and vanished.
“What a pity. Once I unleash the ultimate move of a Cosmic Sovereign, I cannot precisely reduce its power. If I could control it more accurately, I might have knocked the Zhenyan Venerable into unconsciousness,” Luo Feng mused inwardly.
The stronger the opponent, the harder it was to knock them unconscious.
For example, a King-level immortal would fall into unconsciousness when their divine body was reduced to about 10% of its original, and definitely unconscious when it dropped to 10%. However, the will of a Cosmic Overlord was incredibly powerful, and their divine energy was much more refined. Even if their divine body was reduced to 5% or 3%, they could still remain conscious for an instant and choose to self-destruct their divine body. It would likely take reducing their divine body to just 1% to possibly knock out a Cosmic Overlord instantly.
But that was extremely difficult.
In a life-or-death battle, unleashing ultimate moves and fighting desperately made it impossible to accurately gauge the opponent’s divine body to leave exactly 1% remaining. Moreover, if the opponent possessed an incredibly strong will, like a Cosmic Sovereign, even with only 1% left, they might still remain conscious for an instant. They would rather self-destruct than be permanently enslaved.
Therefore…
The more powerful the being, the harder it was to enslave. Unless one enslaved them when they were still weak, and then allowed them to grow stronger, one could naturally obtain a powerful servant.
“Boom~~” Amid the explosion, the Zhenyan Venerable’s black battle armor, silver wings, weapons, world ring, and other items scattered in all directions…
“Come here.”
With a thought, the Golden-Horned Giant Beast controlled the microcosm, quickly gathering all the items left behind by the fallen Zhenyan Venerable to his front. As Luo Feng infused his divine power, each item quickly recognized him as its new master. This made Luo Feng realize that the Zhenyan Venerable indeed lacked the ability of talent clones.
“Absorb!” Luo Feng directly stored all these items into his spatial ring.
Then he turned his gaze toward the distant black mist figure about one hundred million kilometers away, who was cautiously looking around.
“Fall.”
Luo Feng murmured silently.
Rumbling~~~
The torrents of frenzied energy surged violently toward the shadowy figure cloaked in black mist. The chaotic currents appeared to bifurcate—one spiraling clockwise while the other twisted counterclockwise—as though forging a colossal celestial millstone, with the dark mist-shrouded entity trapped at its very core.
(Note: The translation preserves the vivid imagery and dynamic motion of the original while adapting certain phrases for natural English flow. “疯狂ly” is rendered as “frenzied/furiously” to avoid the awkward adverb form, and “grinding mill” becomes “celestial millstone” to enhance the cosmic scale. The structure maintains the original’s dramatic tension.)
“Microcosmic Mill, Great Crushing!”
Luo Feng said coldly.
The microcosm was the ultimate innate secret art, even stronger than his own ‘Golden Light’ technique. The microcosm possessed various techniques, such as ‘Cosmic Essence Suppression’ and ‘Microcosmic Mill Crushing,’ which were standard methods, and also the ultimate ‘Cosmic Big Bang,’ the strongest technique.
However, the power of ordinary techniques wasn’t that strong. For example, the ‘Microcosmic Mill Crushing’ couldn’t directly kill the Zhenyan Venerable. However, for a ‘High-Level Cosmic Venerable’ without even a common treasure armor, the enhanced Nine-Xiao River could easily crush him, let alone the power of the microcosm.
…
The Bloodthirsty Fog Venerable was cautiously observing his surroundings when suddenly he felt the heavens and earth invert. Two massive streams of chaotic energy surrounded him, rotating in opposite directions like a grinding mill, wildly crushing him.
“Ah~~~” The Bloodthirsty Fog Venerable screamed in pain as his divine body rapidly deteriorated—90%, 70%, 50%… The speed of the deterioration was terrifying.
“Let me go.”
“I mean no harm,” the Bloodthirsty Fog Venerable cried out in fear, “please let me go.”
But the endless chaotic world showed no sign of stopping, leaving the Bloodthirsty Fog Venerable feeling desperate and furious… He never expected that following Master Fan Nuo’s orders would lead to such a result.
“Ah~~” the Bloodthirsty Fog Venerable roared angrily.
“Cursed.”
When his divine body was reduced to 30%, the Bloodthirsty Fog Venerable let out a final roar of unwillingness and chose to self-destruct. BOOM~~~ The shockwave spread in all directions, and the Bloodthirsty Fog Venerable perished!
“He doesn’t even have a single treasure, yet he still struggles!”
Boom!
The microcosm quickly retracted and vanished, and the world returned to calm. Only the Golden-Horned Giant Beast floated in midair, while all the treasures left behind by the fallen Zhenyan Venerable and Bloodthirsty Fog Venerable were collected.
“Unexpectedly, I lost nearly 10% of my divine body in just this short time,” the Golden-Horned Luo Feng mused.
Opening the microcosm and rushing to the Zhenyan Venerable had cost nearly three seconds.
Killing the Zhenyan Venerable and collecting his treasures took less than two seconds.
Crushing the Bloodthirsty Fog Venerable with the Cosmic Mill took nearly three seconds.
Collecting the treasures took nearly one second.
In total, it was just under nine seconds.
“Let’s go!” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast flapped his wings and quickly soared away.
…
It took Luo Feng nearly a full day to leave the Primitive Star and return to his divine kingdom.
…
Within Luo Feng’s divine kingdom, the vast divine realm was continuously expanding, and the endless Nether Sea was also growing without cease.
“After nearly twenty thousand years, my Endless Sea has grown significantly,” Luo Feng, clad in silver armor, remarked with a faint smile as he gazed downward.
“Treasures!”
With a wave of his hand, treasures began to appear in midair. Numerous treasures floated there, all obtained from the Primitive Star in the past year. However, most of them were ordinary treasures, with only a few high-level treasures. Surprisingly, the treasures obtained from defeating the Zhenyan Venerable were quite impressive. Besides the treasure wings he desperately needed, there was also an ordinary treasure set (eight shuttles), a high-level treasure armor, and an ordinary domain-type treasure. Indeed, they were worthy of a warrior from the Mechanical Race.
“The most important treasure for me is still these treasure wings,” Luo Feng in silver armor said softly, holding the treasure wings in his hand.
Initially, he had thought the treasure wings were black, but after the Zhenyan Venerable’s death, the treasure wings returned to their normal color—silver. Exactly the same as the true color of the Murderous Wu Wings.
The treasure wings in Luo Feng’s hand trembled slightly, as if trying to break free and fly away.
“Roar~~~” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast flew over from the distance, and simultaneously, a beautiful silver wing detached from its wings.
“Go.”
Luo Feng released his grip.
Instantly, the treasure wings flew out and rapidly approached the Murderous Wu Wings. When the two equally beautiful silver wings touched, a series of sharp, blade-like feathers quickly popped up. The bases of the wings emitted rapid flashes of silver light. As the two treasure wings combined, they underwent a qualitative transformation.
A mighty pressure began to radiate outward.
This was the true pressure! This moment of combination was when the mysterious treasure revealed its true form without any concealment.
“Wow, what a powerful pressure,” the silver-armored Luo Feng stood in midair, astonished. His heart swelled with excitement and anticipation.
