Luo Feng was caught in the astonishing suction force and was rapidly plummeting downward.
Whoosh!
The air screamed past his ears. Luo Feng, transformed into the ice bear form of a phantom beast, watched the icy rock walls blur past him as he desperately tried to figure out what to do. He had already tried every method of escape, shifting into countless forms, all to no avail. Earlier, Babata had warned Luo Feng, “Luo Feng, the suction force is far too strong—greater than the energy output of a Mech Clan spaceship’s core. Even with their ship, you wouldn’t be able to fly!”
Now, as the ice bear, Luo Feng peered into the pitch-black abyss below. There was nothing left but to prepare himself and fight for a sliver of survival.
Falling!
Endlessly falling!
…
It had been a long time, yet Luo Feng was still plummeting, which caused alarm to rise in his heart.
“How deep is this abyss? It must be far deeper than the great pit in the Blood-Net World—perhaps hundreds of thousands of kilometers deep,” he thought, the wind roaring past him. Helpless against the pull, he could do nothing but fall. The prolonged descent stirred memories, and scenes of his past flashed through his mind.
“Mom, Dad, my wife, Pingping, Xiao Hai, Ahua…” he murmured silently.
He looked down again into the endless darkness, still seeing nothing.
“Why am I thinking of my family now? I guess even my subconscious feels like I might really die this time.” Luo Feng understood clearly that when Mo Luo kicked him into this abyss—especially when even his Mosha Clan clone couldn’t escape the pull—his heart had sunk into despair.
He knew then…
This was serious!
This danger was far greater than anything he had faced in the Blood-Net World!
A death trap!
Babata had warned him long ago about such deadly traps hidden in the secret realms of the universe. He knew them well…
“The chances of surviving this must be very low,” Luo Feng, in his ice bear form, inhaled deeply, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint.
Yet, even in the face of death, Luo Feng felt no fear!
Perhaps it had started the day he chose to become a warrior…
Or perhaps it was when he chose to fight the Golden-Horned Giant Beast to the death…
Or maybe it was when he rejected the peaceful life of a planet lord and chose instead the path of a cosmic overlord…
Since then, he had always been ready to die.
“In the universe, countless warriors risk their lives to chase power, yet among billions, maybe none will ever become an Immortal!” Luo Feng gazed into the abyss below. “I knew the risks when I chose this path. I’m ready to fall—but as long as there is the slightest chance of survival, I will fight for it!”
“Mo Luo!” The image of Mo Luo flashed in his mind.
“I didn’t see you as a threat or an enemy. I admired you, and deep down, I didn’t want to fight you. I also thought you wouldn’t be foolish enough to strike first. And above all, I was confident—confident that you could never threaten me.” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. “But now I understand… hearts are hidden behind flesh. You can’t trust people so easily, nor can you be too confident. Overconfidence is arrogance!”
Yes.
In Luo Feng’s eyes, Mo Luo’s actions had been foolish.
Perhaps… by eliminating Luo Feng, Mo Luo had removed a potential threat to his position, giving himself more time to secure his place among the Original Secret Realm members. But in Luo Feng’s view, it was a foolish move that only shook his own inner peace.
Because of his cultivation of the heart, Luo Feng understood clearly.
A true powerhouse must possess unwavering confidence in oneself. Only by believing in yourself can you aspire to ascend to the pinnacle. If you lack faith in your own abilities and resort to underhanded schemes to eliminate threats, how many adversaries can you truly vanquish? On the path to becoming a true overlord, the challengers are not merely upstarts like Luo Feng, but also countless prodigies who have already attained the zenith of Sovereignhood!
How many geniuses can you eliminate?
Believe in yourself!
Only by improving yourself can you walk the path of a true champion!
Eliminating rivals is foolish—it shakes your very conviction.
Once your conviction wavers…
You are fated never to become a true warrior!
“Mo Luo, if I survive this, you will regret it for the rest of your life.” Luo Feng stared into the abyss below.
Swoosh!
The ice bear, Luo Feng’s phantom beast form, continued plummeting through the endless abyss at an incredible speed.
…
After a long, long time falling…
“Luo Feng, there’s ice and rock below!” Babata urgently sent a mental message.
Boom!
The ice bear, as fast as a meteor, covered the twenty kilometers in less than 0.001 seconds. Its massive paws slammed into the icy layer below, shattering it with a thunderous roar. The ice cracked outward, and even the thick black rock beneath trembled slightly, though it remained intact.
“Roar~~”
“Screeee!”
Earsplitting cries echoed from all directions.
The dazed ice bear, still sitting on the shattered ice, looked around. In every direction—near and far, humanoid or beastly, or even plant-like—there were phantom beasts as far as the eye could see!
Thousands upon thousands of phantom beasts were gathered on a winding icy mountain.
The seemingly clueless ice bear slowly stood up, appearing foolish, but inside, Luo Feng was stunned.
“Good heavens, how many phantom beasts are there? At a glance, there must be tens of thousands just on this mountain range.” Luo Feng was shocked to find that the abyss led to a true nest of phantom beasts. “Wait, how was that suction force created earlier?”
“Luo Feng! Watch out! There’s a phantom beast 6.1 kilometers ahead of you—its aura is comparable to an Immortal!” Babata warned in panic.
“An Immortal?” Luo Feng was startled.
The clueless ice bear glanced around.
“What phantom beast? There’s nothing within 6.1 kilometers. The only thing ahead is a distant mountain range, filled with countless phantom beasts.” Luo Feng, in his ice bear form, communicated with Babata.
“Fool! That mountain in front of you is the phantom beast!” Babata cried.
“Good heavens…”
Luo Feng’s heart trembled.
Still appearing clueless, the ice bear casually walked across the icy surface, just like the other phantom beasts in this abyssal world. But his eyes were fixed on the endless mountain range before him.
“A mountain of ice is a phantom beast? It must be thousands of kilometers long.” Luo Feng muttered.
Damn.
In terms of sheer size, this ice mountain might not be smaller than Earth. Yet, it was a phantom beast?
…
The ice bear continued forward through this vast abyssal world. The world was immense, filled with countless phantom beasts. If the first nest Luo Feng had discovered was like a stream, then this abyss was an ocean!
Phantom beasts—countless in number!
Sovereign-level beasts were common. Occasionally, he encountered massive beasts whose auras rivaled that of Immortals! These Immortal-level beasts were enormous, the smallest spanning over a thousand kilometers, the largest stretching beyond sight.
Whoosh!
A colossal ice tree, hundreds of kilometers thick and with a canopy spanning thousands of kilometers, suddenly trembled. Its branches shook violently, generating a terrifying suction force that caused nearby openings to violently inhale.
After a while!
A black-horned man plummeted down, and immediately, the surrounding phantom beasts roared in fury. Thousands of beasts charged toward him. “Ahh!” A piercing scream rang out. The man lasted only a few seconds before being trampled into pulp, his death absolute.
Roarrrrrr!
Thousands of phantom beasts roared in excitement, including the ice bear.
“Good heavens.” Luo Feng glanced at the distant bloodstains, his heart pounding. “Thankfully, I came down as an ice bear. not in human form. If I had, I’d have been torn apart by these beasts in no time.”
Even a Sovereign would be doomed here!
In just over three days in this abyss, Luo Feng had already seen billions of phantom beasts. Sovereign-level ones were common, and he had spotted over twenty beasts with auras rivaling Immortals!
“Lucky I’m a phantom beast myself now.” The ice bear Luo Feng waddled his massive ice rump through the sea of beasts, moving slowly but steadily forward.
…
Luo Feng didn’t dare to act out of place, moving like a normal phantom beast. He didn’t know whether there were other powerful beings hiding in this abyss.
“Be careful!”
“Don’t let your guard down for a moment.”
“It’s better to take more time and move cautiously than to rush recklessly.” Thus, Luo Feng wandered slowly through this abyssal world. Though “slow,” he still managed to travel ten thousand miles in a single day.
…
Two months passed in the blink of an eye. Luo Feng had now spent two months in this abyss.
“This abyss is utterly dull—nothing but phantom beasts lurk here. And oddly enough… there’s no trace of Demon Song at all.” The Ice Bear, Luo Feng, trudged forward with weary resignation. The Demon Mountain was split between the Demon Song Peak and the Ice Peak. Yet within this very Demon Song Peak, stretched a vast expanse entirely devoid of its namesake—truly peculiar.
“What is that?” Luo Feng gazed into the distance.
Far away, faint golden lights shimmered.
The distance was too great for Luo Feng to see clearly.
“Let’s go!”
Luo Feng continued his slow advance, walking several thousand miles through the sea of beasts. Looking up, he saw in the distance…
Floating palaces!
The ice bear still wore its clueless expression, but inside, Luo Feng was stunned.
“Floating palaces? Palaces glowing with golden light?”
“This abyss leads to a vast space filled with countless phantom beasts—and now there are floating palaces too?” Luo Feng stared intently. He could see about thirty-two floating palaces, each spanning dozens of kilometers in diameter, each radiating golden light.
About twenty-three of them were also surrounded by a white light layer, like a dome, completely enclosing them.
“Oooooom!”
“Waaaaaang!”
Faint, mysterious sounds drifted from the floating palaces. They carried no attack, but instead filled Luo Feng’s soul with a strange sense of peace and clarity.
