Chapter 995: Ancient Ship, Milky Way

Luo Feng had just landed atop the mountain peak when he felt the entire peak trembling before he even had a chance to move, leaving him somewhat dazed… Could it be? The treasure is being activated?

The entire mountain was vibrating, and the tremors were growing stronger.

“The treasure.”

“The treasure is about to be revealed.”

“Treasure is being activated.” In the distance, cultivators who had previously been conversing or searching for inheritances within the legacy site quickly rose into the air, turning their gazes toward this direction. In an instant, the sky was filled with figures from all corners of the universe, representing various races.

Even Heiwu King took flight.

“How is this possible!” Heiwu King’s golden eyes widened in shock. Spotting Luo Feng among the seven inheritors standing far away on the mountain peak, he immediately exclaimed, “It must be one of the other six inheritors! It must be!” Deep in his heart, he loathed Daohe King and refused to accept the idea of Daohe obtaining the treasure.

Moreover, this was the 106th tallest mountain!

Although ranked 106th, it was still one of the legendary 108 treasures, each of which rivaled the value of supreme treasures. Even at the bottom of the ranking, it should still be worth as much as the most basic supreme treasure. Heiwu himself only possessed one basic supreme treasure, so naturally, he found it hard to believe Daohe could obtain this treasure.

However, reality did not bend to Heiwu King’s will.

“The treasure, it’s the treasure.”

“The mountain is shaking.”

“It must be the treasure awakening.” On the mountaintop, the other inheritors became excited, as they were standing on the mountain themselves.

“It must be me—I touched that tree earlier.”

“No, it was me! I must have triggered the activation condition.” The inheritors were all thrilled and nervous. Although they had seen Daohe King descend before the tremors began, they were still on the mountain. Perhaps one of them had played a role.

As long as there was the slightest hope, they wouldn’t give up. After all, this was one of the 108 legendary treasures!

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh~~~”

Above the treasure site, the Aurora Lake of five-colored lights, directly above this mountain, suddenly began to swirl. Thousands of auroras rotated together, forming a vortex.

“Zhiu! Zhiu! Zhiu! Zhiu! Zhiu! Zhiu!”

Suddenly, thousands of auroras fell from the sky. Each was tens of thousands of kilometers long, in five different colors, like countless multicolored meteors plummeting downward. Within moments, the thousands of auroras completely enveloped the mountain peak, wrapping around it like pearl curtains.

Magnificent!

This breathtaking sight left countless inheritors thrilled, envious, and filled with desire! The pressure exuded by these auroras was unimaginably immense. After all, even just a few auroras could slaughter a Cosmic Sovereign. How powerful must thousands of these “auroras” be? The title of “Supreme Treasure of the Greatest Cosmic Power” was no joke.

“It’s mine.”

“The treasure is mine.” The entire mountain was wrapped in thousands of auroras, including the inheritors on the mountaintop and those halfway up the mountain.

But then, waves of force swept over them and instantly “teleported” them out.

“No!” “Don’t!” “It’s mine!” The alien inheritors were filled with reluctance.

“Who triggered the treasure?”

“It must have been Daohe King. I saw Daohe land on that mountain.”

“There are many inheritors on that mountain, even halfway up. Maybe it was a treasure hidden halfway up.” The excited alien inheritors discussed amongst themselves, watching as “Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”—figures of all shapes and sizes, some massive, some small, some covered in scales and horns, others transparent like liquid, were expelled one by one by the five-colored auroras.

“Who, who exactly triggered the treasure?”

“They were all kicked out.”

“We were all expelled?”

“It was Daohe King. Only Daohe King wasn’t expelled.” Although the expelled inheritors were unwilling, they quickly checked and confirmed—Daohe King was the only one who hadn’t come out.

Meanwhile, the distant spectators were already searching among the expelled inheritors for Daohe King. When they couldn’t find him, they immediately realized… Daohe King was the one who triggered the treasure.

“Hmph.”

Heiwu King clenched his teeth, baring his fangs, watching the scene with fury and resentment.

But what could he do?

The inheritors beside him exchanged glances, too afraid to speak. They all knew Heiwu King must be furious at this moment.

“Fool. A stupid, insane beast with no intelligence at all.” Bafen Zunzhe glanced at Heiwu King in the distance and cursed inwardly.

“Beasts” were beings in the universe who possessed great power but had extremely low intelligence.

Although Luo Feng couldn’t see what was happening outside, he could guess.

“It’s me who obtained the treasure.” Feeling the mountain tremble beneath his feet, Luo Feng couldn’t help but smile.

He had heard about the activation scenes of treasures within the treasure site long ago…

Certain supreme beings of the Ancestral God Sect had concealed treasures within the treasure site and set specific activation conditions. These conditions were governed by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake! The lake continuously monitored its domain, meticulously recording every action of the inheritors.

For example, when Luo Feng was assassinated and killed before, then revived, his revival emitted a clear Sovereign aura.

The Five-Colored Aurora Lake immediately recorded “Sovereign, with talent clones,” collecting such information. Once it matched a specific treasure, when Luo Feng arrived at a treasure location, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake would automatically control the treasure’s emergence!

However, to maintain secrecy…

It would seal off the scene. Except for the treasure’s original placer, the one activating it, and the Five-Colored Aurora Lake itself, no one else would know what the treasure actually was. Just like when the Seven-Sword King obtained his treasure, the outside world could only guess. As long as the Seven-Sword King didn’t publicly reveal it, no one would ever know.

The mountain shook, and at the same time, giant stones on the mountaintop began rising.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng watched closely.

A stone about three hundred meters tall slowly rose, then flew upward, completely floating above the mountain peak.

“What kind of treasure is this?” Luo Feng stared as the stone lifted, revealing a massive hole on the mountaintop. It was pitch black and silent. After a moment, a black ring slowly floated up, turned direction, and flew straight toward Luo Feng, hovering in front of him.

Luo Feng took a deep breath, silently hoping for a treasure suitable for himself.

Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed the ring. It was an unclaimed ring, and Luo Feng easily imprinted his spiritual mark into it.

“A decent world ring. It’s comparable to the best world ring I’ve ever purchased. Wearing it, even if attacked by a Cosmic Sovereign, as long as the attacker doesn’t specifically target the world ring, it won’t be damaged.” Luo Feng nodded inwardly. Rings were naturally durable, though they could be destroyed from the inside by attacking the contained world. As for the exterior, it depended entirely on the ring’s material.

“What could it be?” Luo Feng’s mental energy penetrated the ring, beginning to explore.

Inside the world ring’s contained world, there was only one item.

An ancient ship!

120,000 kilometers long, 30,000 kilometers wide, its surface shimmered with faint silver light. Its structure resembled an oceanic warship, unlike a spaceship.

“What is this?” A thread of Luo Feng’s mental energy directly entered the ancient ship, embedding a spiritual mark. Instantly, a flood of information surged into his mind, causing Luo Feng’s face to light up with surprise and joy.

“Appear.” Luo Feng extended his hand.

Whoosh!

A silver light shot out and landed in his palm—a ship the size of a jujube core.

“Actually… actually a flying palace-type treasure!” Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he gazed at the ancient ship. “It’s merely a top-tier treasure artifact, yet it’s recognized as rivaling a supreme treasure. No wonder… This is a flying palace. If I take it out, there will definitely be powerful beings willing to exchange a supreme treasure for it!”

Luo Feng had already grasped the ship’s information.

This ancient ship was originally named the “Silver Dragon Phantom Ship,” a top-tier treasure artifact. Its function was somewhat similar to the “Tianlang Hall.” As long as one was inside the Silver Dragon Phantom Ship, enemies couldn’t effectively harm them unless they destroyed the ship’s hull. Physical attacks would be almost entirely neutralized, and soul attacks would also be significantly weakened.

Back when Luo Feng was pursued by Heiwu King, if he had possessed this ship and hidden inside, Heiwu King wouldn’t have been able to harm him. Luo Feng could have used the Silver Dragon Phantom Ship to escape quickly, leaving Heiwu King far behind.

Just as the Heavenly Wolf Lord, within the Nine Nether Space, endured the terrifying assault of the Nine Nether Lord who set the entire Nine Nether Sea ablaze, he narrowly escaped with his life thanks to the protection of the Heavenly Wolf Hall.

“Battle armor and other defensive equipment are worn directly on the body, so enemies’ physical or soul attacks can only be partially weakened,” Luo Feng’s eyes sparkled. “But this Silver Dragon Phantom Ship is huge. Being inside it is like being in a massive fortress. It’s even better than the most expensive divine bases of the Mechanical Race.”

Strong defense.

Moreover, although the Silver Dragon Phantom Ship might not be very maneuverable, its straight-line acceleration for escape was extremely fast.

“Haha, this is a top-tier treasure artifact. Even a Cosmic Sovereign would struggle to destroy it. Even a Cosmic Overlord might have to exert significant effort to destroy a top-tier treasure artifact.” Luo Feng was delighted. Inside the Silver Dragon Phantom Ship, combined with his Tower Bead protecting his soul, once he became immortal…

Luo Feng couldn’t help grinning.

Of course, one must possess sufficient strength to operate such a treasure. If one’s power was too weak to drive the ship at sufficient speed, it might even be seized by a powerful enemy.

“Once I become immortal, I can directly use the Silver Dragon Phantom Ship.” Luo Feng nodded to himself. “When my power grows stronger in the future… and I’m capable of operating the Star Tower, then my trump card will be the Star Tower. At that time, the Silver Dragon Phantom Ship will merely serve as my public transportation.”

“Silver Dragon Phantom Ship sounds awkward. I’ll just call it… the Milky Way.” Luo Feng gazed at the ship’s shimmering silver surface, as if seeing countless brilliant stars in the Milky Way, and immediately decided on the name.

Although treasures often had their original names, most were cumbersome.

Like the Purple Bell, whose original name was “Demon Sound Fire God Bell,” Luo Feng simply called it the Purple Bell.

Likewise, this Silver Dragon Phantom Ship, Luo Feng now simply called it the “Milky Way.”

“The ancient ship, the Milky Way. Until I can truly operate the Star Tower, you shall accompany me.” Luo Feng looked at the ancient ship in his palm, silently vowing.
