FunTranscript
00:00Nine hundred years and not one enemy.
00:02That was the sour truth.
00:04Luofeng carried as he reached the edge of the domain where the scion,
00:08Token's secret chamber, waited.
00:10He had come into the heart of the universe boat as a hunter, hidden and patient.
00:14Hoping some great being from Purple Moon Holy Land would grow careless,
00:19Star Tower was ready to snatch that being without mercy.
00:22Teach the Holy Land a lesson, and take its true treasures.
00:25A neat plan, except a trap needs prey, and the prey never showed, not once in all that time.
00:32He shook his head with a rueful half-smile.
00:34Careful, people, he muttered.
00:36Not one face in all this distance.
00:39Yet the reason was plain enough.
00:41The universe boat is vast, and he had been flying fast to scan it.
00:45A show-off might have been caught in his net.
00:48Someone who hides with discipline never would be.
00:50The universe masters in here had clearly chosen to disappear, and they were good at it.
00:55Patience, it turned out, was a weapon both sides could wield, and Purple Moon Holy Land wielded it better.
01:02So the journey had not been a hunt, after all.
01:04It had been a long, steady march, and the thing that made it possible was the boat under his feet.
01:10The boat of mausoleum let him bulldoze through dangerous lands by sheer force.
01:15Even a supreme true treasure grows burdened in terrifying environments.
01:19But this one never wavered.
01:21And that steadiness was why Luo Feng trusted it entirely.
01:25He had deliberately chosen lands where treasures are born, and the boat carried him through,
01:30repaying him with some ordinary pinnacle true treasures.
01:34Two top-tier true treasures, and a senior true treasure.
01:37The war he had hoped to fight never came, yet the trip still paid.
01:41Nine hundred years of empty corridors had quietly turned into a treasure run.
01:46Primal chaos city leader had warned him of exactly this advantage.
01:50Ninety percent of the horrors.
01:52In the three most dangerous lands cannot...
01:55Touch the boat, he had said.
01:56And only the core regions might stop it.
01:59Anyone hunting treasure aboard it would out-earn every other great being.
02:03Because the dangers that stop others simply slide off.
02:06Luo Feng agreed wholeheartedly.
02:08And already he was planning to roam those lands once he finished here.
02:12Sending only a trace of consciousness along while...
02:14His real attention stayed on cultivation.
02:17First, though, there was Ji Fanzi's legacy.
02:20Waiting somewhere beyond those hanging leaves, he drifted closer,
02:24past countless buildings hanging from huge leaves,
02:27and two days later found the secret chamber that belonged to him.
02:30This is the one.
02:32The little boat slowed and settled on a leaf.
02:35Luo Feng stepped out, looked up at the ancient building, and sighed.
02:39Both the black token's chamber and this cyan one were so plain.
02:43With a wave, he put the boat away, walked slowly toward the structure,
02:47and the wall felt like the surface of water as he passed,
02:51straight through into the internal space of the chamber.
02:56Inside, he hung in the void and found himself surrounded by fire.
02:59Nine blazing fireballs, each a thousand times larger than an ordinary star,
03:05wheeled in a circle, and at the center of their ring floated a continent.
03:09With a thought, Luo Feng spread all ten wings on his back,
03:13a blurred golden light, flooded the space and put everything inside it under his control.
03:18One look told him this was no ordinary resting place.
03:22Someone had built it to be found, and by someone worthy.
03:25He stepped across and landed on the continent, a barren stretch of sandstone.
03:30Above him, the nine fireballs were casting rays down onto the ground,
03:34and the rays intertwined, weaving themselves into a vast scroll written in characters made of fire snakes.
03:41The script was strange to him, but every character carried ripples of meaning,
03:46and the meaning poured straight into his mind, so he had no trouble reading a single line.
03:51It was the voice of Ji Fanzi, and as Luo Feng listened, a story unfolded, one that began quietly.
03:58Fanzi was a special life form who became an undying by cultivating the water law,
04:04and he kept cultivating long after he became a universe supreme master.
04:08Then, one peaceful day on an ordinary planet, a question lodged in his head.
04:14Life there needed water to survive, so water was the root of life.
04:17Yet the entire planet drank the heat of its stars so that everything on it could grow.
04:22Water alone did not explain life.
04:25Fire alone did not either.
04:26The two had to work together, and that single insight became the seed of everything that followed.
04:32The more he thought, the clearer it became.
04:34Water law and fire law were not the simple, separate things everyone assumed.
04:39Together they touched the origin of all life and all reproduction.
04:42So he built an entire body of lost knowledge around the idea and named it.
04:47Water and fire origins, he spent his whole life on it tirelessly.
04:51He crossed the whole primal universe, and when that universe ended he went on into the universe ocean and comprehended
04:58two more reincarnation eras.
05:00His work grew fuller, and he believed that with enough time he could rise higher, still and transcend reincarnation.
05:08Time was the one thing he lacked.
05:10His combat power had reached tenth tier as the top, yet he was not sure that was enough to break
05:16through.
05:16Three reincarnation eras had gone into this creation, and he could not stand the thought of watching it vanish.
05:23His wish was simple, that some later person would pick up what he had understood and carry it onward.
05:29The nine fireballs, the scroll explained, were native to tilted peak sector of the universe, ocean.
05:35They had been nine, iced, crystals before his water and fire origins transformed them, and they marked the peak of
05:43his achievement.
05:44With the nine now merged into one force, their might must not leak into the outside world.
05:50Under the continent lay a pinnacle palace, true, treasure holding everything he had left behind.
05:55Along with a low to high level inheritance of his lost knowledge, he asked only that his descendants not let
06:01his life's work be lost for good.
06:04When the last character faded, Luo Feng drew a long breath.
06:08Tenth tier as the top, water and fire origins, every era produces at least one peerless figure, he said quietly.
06:15And there was awe in it.
06:17Tenth tier as the top, the same level teacher origin had already reached.
06:21He must have been among the greatest of his age.
06:24No wonder he clung to this.
06:26It was his own creation, and he was endlessly proud of it.
06:29He wanted it to live on after him.
06:31Still, the comparison had a sting in it.
06:34Teacher origin reached that tenth tier back in the primal reincarnation era, before he was suppressed forever.
06:40Jai Fanzi needed three full reincarnation eras of climbing.
06:44Yet the present tells the rest of the story.
06:46Apart from Teacher origin and the ancestors of the two holy lands,
06:50the next strongest beings in the universe ocean today are great beings at ninth tier as the top,
06:56and none has gone beyond that.
06:58Jai Fanzi stood one whole tier above all of them.
07:01Whatever he lacked next to Teacher origin, he was still extraordinary.
07:05And that is what makes his lonely end so striking.
07:08What moved Luo Feng most was the idea itself.
07:12The laws he had cultivated, whether gold, wood, water, fire, or earth, were all fundamental laws,
07:19and he had always trained each on its own.
07:21It had truly never crossed his mind that a single law,
07:24or a pair of them, could hold the secret of life's origin.
07:28An ordinary creation could be lost without regret.
07:31But this body of knowledge far surpassed what other supreme masters had made.
07:36It was worth being proud of, and it was worth keeping.
07:39For a man who had thought he understood his own laws,
07:43the revelation was humbling and thrilling at once.
07:45Peerless in talent, he sighed, gone without ever breaking through a reincarnation era.
07:51How hard transcending reincarnation must be.
07:54Then he flicked his hand.
07:56Keep!
07:56Star Tower flew up, and guided by his godly power,
08:00the nine huge fireballs poured into it.
08:03Rise!
08:03The continent split, sandstone parting to both sides,
08:07and the palace stood bare in full view.
08:10Luo Feng sent a thread of godly power into it,
08:13and soon the palace true treasure acknowledged him as its master.
08:17Then, with the palace fully answering to him,
08:19he learned exactly what it held,
08:21and the count shook him to his core.
08:24There were no supreme true treasures,
08:26but the pile still dwarfed what he took from killing great Thunderstar Master,
08:31even adding the spoils of sweeping that miniature universe.
08:34Thirty-two pinnacle palace type and domain type true treasures.
08:38Ninety-one ordinary pinnacle true treasures.
08:41A class that includes top-tier domain type ones.
08:45Ordinary top-tier senior and ordinary true treasures were barely over a hundred,
08:49which suggests Jay Fancy simply cared little for them.
08:52Beyond that lay precious treasures in great number.
08:55Materials for refining true treasures.
08:58Treasures for restoring godly bodies.
09:00And treasures for raising life genes.
09:03Without counting supreme true treasures,
09:05Luo Feng said, stunned.
09:07This is already more than the entire wealth of my human race.
09:11Strange as it sounded, it was normal.
09:13A race's riches come mainly from its universe supreme masters,
09:17while lone travelers owe nothing to any race.
09:20Jai Fancy from Eris Ago, Sitting Mountain Guest,
09:23and Shihu Island Leader today,
09:25all of them keep what they take,
09:27and their hordes rival entire races.
09:29Jai Fancy once swept the whole universe ocean with his might.
09:33His one obsession was water and fire origins,
09:36and he was ambitious by nature.
09:38Had he turned to plunder, he would have gathered more.
09:41But three reincarnation eras of collecting make this amount perfectly ordinary.
09:46Time, not greed, had filled the palace.
09:49Luo Feng smiled at what it meant.
09:51The one thing still missing from his wings could finally be mended.
09:54With all this, I can repair the last injury on the white wings of my shuwu wings.
09:59A flip of his hand and a fist-sized spherical crystal stone lay on his palm,
10:04holding the thing Jai Fancy prized above all else.
10:07Let's see what it holds.
10:09The moment Luo Feng looked,
10:11he was lost in it, pleasantly stunned.
10:13The knowledge was so mysterious,
10:15and magical that it earned a place,
10:17in the core inheritance of the pulse of Duandong, river.
10:21The pity was that Jai Fancy had only grasped its fundamentals.
10:25Yet even with only a foundation built,
10:27the magic of the lost knowledge could be glimpsed.
10:30And what Luo Feng glimpsed made him lean closer,
10:33eyes bright, hardly daring to blink.
10:35If this is right, he said to himself, at the peak,
10:39with one thought and the two origins of water and fire as the core,
10:43I can create a true universe in an instant.
10:46In war, the space around my body becomes a true miniature universe.
10:50Force the enemy inside, and they have no way to survive, do they?
10:54Six hundred thousand years into his tour of the universe ocean,
10:58in the maze of Flowing Level Mountain,
11:01three universe masters stood on a stone in the middle of Restless,
11:04water and waited for a treasure to be born.
11:07They could feel it coming.
11:08The danger around them kept climbing,
11:10and a red rock life-form roared that a true treasure was about to appear.
11:15Light dimmed around the trio.
11:17Because a domain true treasure covered the area,
11:20but its reach stopped at the tumbling water itself,
11:23so no one could predict the moment of birth.
11:25Each was tense,
11:27privately weighing who would come out on top once the prize surfaced.
11:31Then the water changed.
11:32After thrashing wildly,
11:34it settled, gathered,
11:36and began to spin,
11:37until a water spout joined sky and land.
11:40It's right there!
11:41All three burned their godly power and surged forward.
11:45Out of the water spout burst a white boat.
11:47Milky Way horde leader!
11:49cried a black creature with a wrinkled face.
11:51Everyone knew what that boat meant.
11:53Rumor had spread across the three lands of
11:56extremists of a human,
11:58universe master who drove a white boat
12:00and snatched true treasures from the
12:02places where they were born.
12:03Treasures can appear anywhere in those enormous lands,
12:06yet he had taken them dozens of times.
12:09As if he were five universe supreme masters at once,
12:12the secret was his boat.
12:14It carried him into dangerous places while
12:16other great beings were
12:18still stuck waiting outside.
12:20The double-faced, four-armed universe master,
12:23Yulam master of Purple Moon Holy Land,
12:26understood the danger more sharply than the others.
12:29He dove into his palace true treasure and tried to run.
12:32Poor Yulam, murmured the rock life form
12:35and the wrinkled creature, stepping aside.
12:38They had good reason to pity him.
12:40For six thousand years, Milky Way horde leader
12:44had roamed flowing-level mountain,
12:46universe boat and tilted peak sector,
12:48always arriving with a shock.
12:50And any universe master from Purple Moon Holy Land
12:53he met was captured at once.
12:54No one knew whether captured meant killed.
12:57Since the death of Pacing Master,
12:59three more had vanished that way.
13:00Most of their kind had retreated to the Holy Land
13:03after the news.
13:04But a few refused to hide and simply tried to be careful.
13:08Yulam was one of them.
13:09He had come out only because of this treasure.
13:11And the leader had been waiting in the water,
13:14undetected.
13:15By the time he showed himself,
13:17it was too late.
13:18Both watchers sighed.
13:20This leader never attacked universe masters
13:22who left him alone.
13:23His targets were Purple Moon Holy Land,
13:26the Fire Origin Race,
13:27and the Dragon Rock Race,
13:29and the last two had already hidden
13:31in their miniature universes.
13:33Only Purple Moon Holy Land
13:35still dared to walk outside.
13:37Stop running, Yulam master.
13:39The white boat swept in,
13:40and a nine-story tower appeared and swelled
13:44with an abyss at its base.
13:45Yulam burst out of his palace to flee.
13:48Milky Way horde leader,
13:49Purple Moon Holy Land will never let you go.
13:52Star Tower drew him in anyway.
13:54He shrank as he neared the bottom,
13:55and then he was gone.
13:57A voice drifted from the white boat.
13:59Two!
14:00Sorry, I'm only passing through,
14:02but I'll take the true treasure.
14:05The two remaining masters,
14:07suddenly humble,
14:08kept quiet while the white boat flew off.
14:10How had it come to this?
14:12To understand,
14:12go back to a quieter scene.
14:14Half a month after Luo Feng
14:16entered Jie Fanzi's chamber,
14:18he had been reading the legacy
14:19for those fifteen days,
14:21and he shook his head with a sigh.
14:23What a shame, he thought.
14:24A peerless great being
14:26had died so close to the end.
14:29With more time,
14:30Jie Fanzi might have transcended incarnation
14:33and created a new holy land,
14:35but the last step had defeated him.
14:38Transcending incarnation is almost impossible,
14:40which is exactly why holy lands are so few.
14:43The failure was instructive.
14:46Jie Fanzi had only grasped
14:47the most basic part of water and fire origins,
14:50and even that not fully.
14:51Had he understood all of it,
14:53he might already have transcended.
14:55Luo Feng saw why he failed.
14:57Even the step from true god to higher beings
15:00does not touch origin mysteries like life.
15:03Reproduction and Jie Fanzi
15:04had reached for techniques far above his level.
15:07Three universe eras of study could not fix that.
15:10Still, the technique offered a unique path.
15:13Luo Feng already knew his own.
15:14Thanks to the inheritance of Duandong River,
15:18he would become a true god
15:19by the godly power path.
15:22Then use all ten basic laws,
15:24gold, wood, water,
15:25fire, mud, light, thunder,
15:27wind, time, and space
15:28to condense a void space.
15:30Water and fire origins
15:31could help a little with fire and water.
15:34But Jie Fanzi had used only those two laws
15:36and met too many obstacles.
15:38And in the end, he died of them.
15:40The ten laws together were simply easier.
15:42Meanwhile, the crystal balls and valuables
15:45he had collected led to a happy conversation.
15:48Through the virtual universe,
15:50he told Primal Chaos City leader
15:52that Jie Fanzi alone had left
15:55thirty-two pinnacle true treasure palaces
15:57and ninety-one ordinary pinnacle true treasures.
16:00We didn't even get that many from Thunderstorm Star,
16:03his teacher said, astonished.
16:06That's far too many.
16:07He was top-tier level ten, Luo Feng answered.
16:10I think he left them
16:11so the inheritance could spread.
16:13That inheritance was open
16:15to more than one kind of person.
16:17Undying fighters could already practice it.
16:19And anyone who fully
16:20comprehended the water law and fire law
16:23could begin to comprehend
16:24water and fire origins.
16:27By the records,
16:28it could take a person
16:29to the level of a limit universe supreme master.
16:32Transcending incarnation
16:33was the part G Fanzi never finished.
16:36And it now fell to later generations.
16:38The human race had only twenty universe masters,
16:42more than enough to help.
16:43Though Primal Chaos City leader
16:45reminded him the number would keep growing
16:47and the future needed planning.
16:49I'll leave that to you, teacher.
16:51Luo Feng smiled.
16:53I'm going to practice and explore
16:55the three lands of extremists.
16:56I'll send the valuables back to the race soon.
16:59There was logic in giving them away.
17:01A great being can only use so many true treasures.
17:04And G Fanzi had far more than he could use.
17:07So Mo simply sat in storage.
17:10Luo Feng would keep a few,
17:11giving each of his four godly bodies
17:13better weapons and armor,
17:15and send the rest to the race,
17:17as teacher origin and huge axe creator
17:19had once done.
17:20Then he stepped out of the
17:21green keepsake space
17:23and toured the
17:24three lands of
17:25extremists in the boat of mausoleum.
17:28Time slipped by thousands of years,
17:30then hundreds of thousands,
17:32silent and without trace,
17:33For someone practicing,
17:35a few thousand years is a blink.
17:37The boat turned silver.
17:38He stayed in the inner areas,
17:40sometimes circling the edge of the core ground,
17:43never going deep since he knew he could not.
17:45Practice mattered more to him than adventure.
17:48The sector itself was mysterious and ever-changing.
17:51Universe Boat was a machine-type treasure
17:53with billions of areas and traces
17:55of an intact boat somewhere,
17:57while Flowing Level Mountain was a labyrinth.
18:00Once, he even went back to the original universe
18:02to hand out the true treasures he had gathered.
18:05And so, back at the water spout,
18:07the white boat turned black as soon as it left,
18:10its very shape changing.
18:11Inside Star Tower's space of suppression,
18:14Yulan Master stared out at three other.
18:17Universe Masters from Purple Moon Holy Land.
18:20They rushed over.
18:20Yulan, why are you here?
18:22How did he capture you?
18:24A man in a white cape appeared,
18:26young, black-haired.
18:28Milky Way Horde leader, said one.
18:30Luo Feng, said another.
18:32All four glared at him.
18:34Luo Feng shook his head with a sigh.
18:36Don't look at me like that.
18:37I don't want to kill you.
18:39It's your ancestor who refuses to save you.
18:42Don't blame me.
18:43Luo Feng did not kill the Universe Masters he captured.
18:46Dead enemies would barely weaken Purple Moon Holy Land.
18:50It could produce another eight or ten Masters soon enough.
18:52Living prisoners were more valuable.
18:55They were hostages,
18:56and he could use them to pressure Purple Moon Ancestor.
18:59He faced the four captives and shook his head.
19:02It's only a pair of wings.
19:04To Purple Moon Holy Land,
19:05it should be an ordinary true treasure.
19:07I can't believe your ancestor refuses to exchange it
19:11for four Universe Masters.
19:12He truly doesn't care whether you live or die,
19:15North Q Master answered coldly.
19:17Stop trying.
19:18Purple Moon Ancestor already knows what you want.
19:21Capture as many of us as you like.
19:23He will never trade those wings.
19:25You Land Master added.
19:27He ordered us to return whenever we could no longer guarantee our survival.
19:31We stayed outside, so he has already accepted our deaths.
19:34You will never obtain them.
19:36Luo Feng sighed.
19:37Even if I received the wings,
19:39they would not immediately increase my strength.
19:42Four Universe Masters are not worth exchanging for an ordinary true treasure.
19:46That is no ordinary treasure,
19:48You Land Master shouted.
19:50It is part of an exceptional true treasure from the ancient civilization.
19:54Luo Feng paused, then calmly said,
19:56Then wait here.
19:57He vanished,
19:58leaving the four Masters trapped in the isolated desert space.
20:02His original plan had been to capture enough enemies to force.
20:05Purple Moon Holy Land a compromise.
20:07Now he understood that Purple Moon Ancestor would not yield easily.
20:11The captured Masters revealed.
20:13What had happened when Luo Feng first sensed the final pair of
20:17Shiu Wings.
20:18A Universe Knight inside.
20:20Purple Moon.
20:21Holy Land had felt his.
20:23Own Wings tremble at the same moment.
20:25The Knight was in an independent space.
20:28Yet the sensation had crossed perhaps one hundred million light years.
20:32Realizing that such a treasure could not be ordinary,
20:35the Knight reported it to his teacher,
20:37Feng Hao Master.
20:38Feng Hao Master questioned other Universe Masters.
20:41Hoping someone else had felt the same reaction,
20:44but found nothing.
20:45Purple Moon Ancestor initially paid little attention.
20:48Then several clues connected.
20:51Pei Sing Master had been killed by Luo Feng.
20:53Even though Luo Feng was in Universe Boat,
20:55and Pei Sing Master was in Tilted Peak Sector.
20:58Luo Feng had crossed that distance immediately after killing.
21:02Great Thunder Star Master and had chosen Pei Sing Master despite many other possible targets.
21:07The reason became obvious.
21:09Pei Sing Master possessed two pairs of wings.
21:12The sensing incident occurred several hundred years later,
21:15around the time Luo Feng left Tilted Peak Sector.
21:18Meanwhile, beings from the Universe,
21:20Ocean had quietly tried to
21:22trade for ordinary true treasures.
21:24From Purple Moon Holy Land,
21:26Luo Feng had also once
21:28possessed one pair of wing treasures,
21:30later gained another,
21:31and had been seen with three pairs.
21:33Purple Moon Ancestor finally understood.
21:36Luo Feng was searching for the wings,
21:38and the enormous sensing distance proved that the final pair was extraordinary.
21:43His order was immediate.
21:45Tell Luo Feng to stop wasting his effort.
21:47Those wings will remain in Purple Moon Holy Land forever.
21:50The message reached one of the captive's avatars.
21:54Luo Feng was annoyed, but he could not deny the conclusion.
21:57The Hong Alliance had acted carefully.
21:59Yet its movements had left traces,
22:01and Luo Feng's own actions had exposed the rest.
22:04There was no point hiding anymore.
22:07I'll keep capturing your Universe Masters,
22:09he decided.
22:10Then I'll use their lives to pressure you.
22:13They might fear disobeying Purple Moon Ancestor,
22:16but repeated abandonment would still create resentment.
22:20Luo Feng did not need immediate surrender.
22:22He only needed enough pressure to make every Master wonder
22:25whether he could be sacrificed next.
22:28The value of these prisoners was therefore not their individual combat strength.
22:32Their real value was the pressure they represented.
22:36Purple Moon Ancestor could replace a dead Universe Master eventually,
22:40but every living Master captured by Luo.
22:43Feng became a reminder that the Holy Land's protection had limits.
22:47The more often this happened,
22:49the harder it would be to maintain absolute confidence among those fighting outside.
22:54Luo Feng was willing to continue for as long as necessary,
22:57even if he obtained the sixth pair.
22:59He had not fully comprehended the third level of Shi Wu Wing's engravings,
23:04so he could not yet use their complete power.
23:07There was no reason to risk everything in one battle.
23:10Luo Feng also understood the importance of the Wing's nature.
23:13The fact that a Universe Knight could sense its reaction from perhaps a hundred million
23:18light-years meant the final pair was not merely another
23:21treasure that happened to resemble Shi Wu,
23:24Wings.
23:25Its connection to the other Wings was powerful enough to reveal itself across an almost absurd
23:31distance.
23:32That single detail explained why Purple Moon Ancestor was willing to endure the loss of
23:37multiple Universe Masters rather than surrender it.
23:41For Luo Feng, the situation was frustrating but not desperate.
23:44He could continue cultivating while applying pressure,
23:47and his unfinished third-level engraving.
23:50Comprehension gave him another reason to avoid forcing a final confrontation.
23:55The treasure was valuable precisely, because he could wait for the right moment instead of
24:00gambling everything immediately.
24:02After six Universe Masters were captured, nearly ninety percent of Purple Moon Holy Land's
24:08Masters returned home.
24:09The few who remained outside were unusually stubborn.
24:12They had lived for endless years and were not easily frightened by death.
24:17Luo Feng's attacks even strengthened their determination to resist.
24:21Far away, another event was unfolding.
24:23A gigantic human-shaped object, larger than a miniature universe,
24:27crossed the Chaos air at a speed millions of times faster than light.
24:31Its passage illuminated the surrounding void.
24:34It continued for more than eight million years before finally reaching the region where
24:39the major powers of the Universe Ocean gathered.
24:42For an ordinary life-form, that span was unimaginable.
24:45For Luo Feng, who had lived less than two hundred thousand years outside time acceleration,
24:51it was the longest period of his existence.
24:53Within the Inheritance Space, his consciousness had experienced the equivalent of eight million eras
25:00of cultivation.
25:01Even now, he was still exploring the inner region of Universe Boat.
25:05The eight-million-year journey carried another striking contrast.
25:09Luo Feng's actual life-outside time acceleration was still less than two hundred thousand years.
25:15Yet his cultivation experience had already reached eight million eras inside the Inheritance Space.
25:21So although the outside world saw only an extended passage of time,
25:26Luo Feng was using that period to accumulate an enormous amount of
25:30experience and understanding.
25:32At the same time, Demon Beast Ancestor was traveling toward flowing-level mountain.
25:37The United Forces Alliance and Humanity were fighting, and Humanity held a slight advantage,
25:42which pleased him.
25:43Then a terrifying streak of light passed nearby.
25:46The shockwave alone hurled Demon Beast Ancestor tens of billions of kilometers away.
25:51Blood spilled from his mouth and ran over his scales.
25:54He stared at the distant golden light in disbelief.
25:57What is that?
25:59He had roamed Universe, boat for a long time, and could protect himself even against powerful
26:04opponents.
26:05Yet this object was different.
26:07If it had struck him directly, he was certain he would have died.
26:11Fear quickly became excitement.
26:13A chance!
26:14Something moving with such power might carry an inheritance, an unimaginable treasure or an
26:20extraordinary life-form.
26:22Any of those possibilities could change his position completely.
26:25Demon Beast Ancestor, however, knew none of this.
26:28He saw only the immediate opportunity.
26:31His shock at the object's power did not make him retreat.
26:34It made him more ambitious.
26:36In his mind, something capable.
26:38Of injuring him through, its passing could possess a treasure or inheritance far beyond
26:43ordinary.
26:44Supreme true treasures.
26:45His desire to seize it quickly overpowered his caution.
26:48If I obtain it, I can suppress the demon race's ancestors and old beast.
26:54God.
26:55I'll rule the demon race and the space beast alliance.
26:58His ambition surged.
27:00I will become the one true ancestor of the demon beasts.
27:03He immediately began teleporting.
27:05After three jumps, he reached the enormous object and saw how tiny his own body appeared beside it,
27:12like an earthworm facing a star.
27:13What he had mistaken for an opportunity was moving toward the center of the universe ocean with
27:19unstoppable momentum.
27:22Far from the edge of Swirling Water River, demon beast ancestors settled on a quiet spot and watched,
27:28barely daring to breathe.
27:30The river turned without end.
27:32Twelve huge arms of water sweeping around it, with countless little islands scattered through the flow,
27:37from a few light-years wide to a few hundred or more.
27:40Its widest diameter reached six million light-years.
27:44It was small beside the three most dangerous lands.
27:47But size was not the same as strength.
27:49Each arm held unfathomable power, thousands or even ten thousand times beyond any great being,
27:56and its history stretched back further than the universe boat itself.
27:59He had reached this watching post by a very long teleport,
28:04followed by a single transit through a natural wormhole,
28:08a shortcut that was the only reason he had arrived before his prey.
28:12Now there was nothing left to do but wait, and waiting was the hardest part.
28:16Swirling Water River is huge, he muttered.
28:19And that thing is over a hundred million light-years tall.
28:22The gap in size isn't so wide.
28:24Maybe the river can stop it.
28:25It was a flimsy argument.
28:27Since the giant was many times larger and he half knew it,
28:30but a desperate mind grabs whatever floats.
28:33He knew better than to believe it.
28:35Even as he muttered the words, he understood the chances were slim.
28:39If this attempt failed, getting the object to change course and strike another dangerous land
28:44would be extremely difficult, perhaps impossible.
28:48So he hoped, and hoped hard, because hope was all he had left.
28:52The hope had a long history and a stubborn one.
28:55He still remembered the first glimpse.
28:58A faint humanoid shape lost in the dazzle of impossible speed.
29:02Lying flat, taller than a hundred million light-years.
29:05Ripples of impact had pushed against him while he strained to see.
29:09And no matter how he racked his brains, he could think of no way to see it better.
29:14The picture stayed blurry.
29:16Then, in an instant, it vanished beyond the limit of his sight,
29:20and the silence it left behind felt heavier than the impact.
29:23The object, human humanoid, he stood rooted for a long time.
29:27It made no sense, and he knew it.
29:30The object was bigger than a miniature universe.
29:33Even bigger than the universe boat.
29:35Even for a universe supreme master,
29:38stretching a godly body to one light year is exhausting.
29:41Since the larger it grows, the more godly power it burns.
29:45And none had ever approached a hundred million.
29:47Worse, it flew at a speed comparable to unbroken teleportation.
29:51A universe supreme master can overcome the speed limit.
29:54But the faster he goes, the more power he spends, and the harder the pressure on his body.
30:00Which is why none could ever manage such a feet and a body so enormous should have been slowed by
30:05its size.
30:06Bigger than a miniature universe and impossibly fast,
30:09it broke every rule he knew.
30:11And the thought of how much stronger such a being would be than himself made his scales prickle.
30:17It can't be a living being, he told himself.
30:20Unwilling to believe anything so formidable existed.
30:24A single glance from such a being might have destroyed him.
30:27It must be a strange object like the universe boat.
30:30Only shaped like a human instead of a boat.
30:32He willed himself to see it that way.
30:34And the explanation calmed him at once.
30:37The way any neat answer calms a frightened mind.
30:40Then the calm cracked.
30:42Another universe boat?
30:43The same suffocating breathlessness returned.
30:45He remembered that the universe ocean had once been free of the three most dangerous lands.
30:51And the universe boat had appeared only much later.
30:54If this was another being of that level, no other great being had met it yet.
30:59And he was the first.
31:00His heart raced.
31:02A fortune like that could change everything.
31:04If I can grab this opportunity, catch up with it.
31:07His fear drained away, replaced by fighting spirit.
31:11After all, whether it was a terrifying life form or a strange object,
31:15he had little to lose.
31:16If it was a life form, it was lying flat.
31:19So it was either deep in slumber or already annihilated.
31:22If it was an object, there was even less to dread.
31:25Teleporting over a great distance, he caught up with it at once.
31:29It never slowed, so he kept jumping far ahead to take the lead.
31:33Only for the giant to overtake him.
31:35And then he would jump ahead again.
31:37Change direction!
31:38He unleashed his endless domain-type true treasure, wrapping the region in blurry black light,
31:44and drove nearly ninety percent of that boundless domain into a vast fuzzy tail that lashed the
31:49giant's flank with a loud whistle.
31:51He had planned the distance beforehand, and he had chosen a domain, not a weapon, on purpose.
31:57A direct blow from a true treasure weapon might rebound and wound him again,
32:01whereas a domain could break without costing him much, so even its destruction would not greatly
32:06hurt him.
32:07He had assumed the giant was a lifeless object, and that a push from the side would at least
32:12turn it a little.
32:13The tail shattered at once, and the giant did not even flinch.
32:17The blow had not even registered, leaving behind only a drifting scatter of broken domain.
32:23No change at all?
32:24He said, bewildered.
32:26Perhaps it was simply too big, and that was why it flew so steadily.
32:31Size gave it a stability that no ordinary push could disturb.
32:34I'll try again.
32:36He tried again, and then again.
32:38He teleported repeatedly to keep pace with the object, and each time he attacked it by force
32:43from the side.
32:44Almost every day he struck a few hundred times.
32:47More than a hundred years went by in what felt like a blink.
32:50At last he saw it.
32:52The attacks were working, only barely.
32:54The giant's path had bent by an amount so small that even a universe, Supreme Master could
32:59scarcely perceive it.
33:01A hundred years of non-stop bombardment for a deviation so tiny.
33:05It was almost insulting, and yet it was proof that the giant could be moved at all.
33:10And that was enough to keep him going.
33:12He pushed on.
33:14Continue.
33:15I must stop it before other great beings find it.
33:18But the universe ocean was enormous, which gave him hope.
33:22Even with continuous teleportation, following the giants heading all the way to the primal
33:28universe would take at least a million years.
33:30And other great beings had to travel by natural wormholes.
33:34So the odds of a stranger meeting the giant were low.
33:37Low was not zero, and he worried anyway.
33:40Patience was something a super great being had in abundance, though.
33:43He would have struggled for millions of eras if he had to.
33:46And he would have done it calmly.
33:48The only thing that gnawed at him was the fear of discovery.
33:52And he had a plan.
33:53One that fit the shape of the whole universe.
33:56Ocean.
33:56Besides the three most dangerous lands.
33:59The universe ocean held many lesser dangerous lands, one notch less deadly, such as the place
34:05where sitting mountain guests lived.
34:07The three most dangerous lands were always crowded with great beings.
34:11The lesser lands saw few visitors, and the most common dangerous lands saw none at all.
34:17If he could turn the giant by a few degrees, its line of flight would carry it straight through
34:22swirling water river.
34:23With the stubbornness of a worker ant gnawing at a mountain, he kept bombarding its side for
34:28more than six thousand years.
34:30At last the course shifted, and the tiny deviation, stretched over the enormous distance, grew into
34:36a huge one.
34:37Now the direction is accurate, he said, and felt something close to pride.
34:41The giant was headed for Swirling Water River.
34:44Let there be no great being in Swirling Water River, he whispered, praying.
34:49Let no one be there to see this.
34:51Three more years passed.
34:53Three years of nothing but waiting.
34:55And now here he was at the river's edge, watching, heart pounding.
34:59The peaceful river turned on.
35:01Then something appeared that was larger than the whole of Swirling Water River.
35:04The giant struck at terrifying speed, a humanoid shape over a hundred million light-years tall.
35:11With a rumble that shook the whole land, it crashed into the river without mercy.
35:16And the twelve arms were ruptured and flung apart in an instant, and enormous quantities
35:21of water splashed out into the universe ocean.
35:24The islands, hit by that velocity, burst one after another like eggs, as though they had never
35:30been solid at all. Deep in the river, completely unaware, a universe master was exploring in a
35:37top-tier palace true treasure. For him, this was far easier and safer than the three most
35:42dangerous lands. It was practically relaxation, a pleasant stroll through familiar water.
35:48Then the whole river trembled, with an impact so strong that its ripples shook his palace.
35:53The object was too fast to be seen clearly, and he saw nothing, only a glimmer of doubt
35:59in his mind. The next moment the boundless object flashed through, and his top-tier palace
36:04true treasure, more fragile than any of those islands, exploded. He was annihilated on the
36:09spot, without even understanding what had hit him. Even a universe master in supreme true
36:14treasure armor would not have survived, let alone one inside a mere palace. The giant swept up
36:21everything in its path like a vehicle crossing a puddle. Water flies in every direction,
36:26and the vehicle keeps going at the same speed, never aware of the puddle. Nothing about the
36:31giant had changed. It had not even noticed. In a moment it passed through, and the dangerous
36:37land lay in fragments, with water scattered into every corner of the universe ocean. It kept racing on,
36:43a trail of flowing light behind it, until it passed beyond demon-beast ancestors' sight.
36:49A long silence followed. Er, he stared, dumbfounded, at the ruined river. He had wanted so badly for
36:56the river to stop it, to change everything in a single stroke. Deep down he had known the odds were
37:01poor, yet he had clung to a thread of hope, and reality was cruel. Had the giant slowed at all?
37:07It moved too fast, even for him to judge. But the meaning was plain, and it chilled him to the
37:13bone.
37:14A river whose power exceeded any great. Beings by thousands of times had been
37:18treated like a puddle. Even ten or a hundred swirling water rivers in its way would not have
37:23stopped it. Within the universe of the Divine Eye Clan's first true master, an unlucky universe
37:30master knelt before his teacher and told what he had endured, still shaken by how little warning he
37:36had been given. It was swirling water river, teacher. I was in my palace true treasure when I felt a
37:41strange,
37:42terrifying tremor. Before I could react, my top-tier palace true treasure was ruptured in an instant,
37:47and my other godly body was annihilated in the blink of an eye. That is what happened.
37:53A top-tier palace true treasure shattered in an instant? First true master felt something bizarre
37:58was going on, something far beyond ordinary danger. For a top-tier palace true treasure to
38:04shatter in an instant inside a dangerous land that was only a notch. Below the worst,
38:11something enormous had to have passed through. Swirling water river?
38:15Twenty million times the speed of light, teacher? Sixty million light years tall? In human shape?
38:21Luofeng blinked aboard the universe boat. Who is spreading lies? The limit in the universe ocean is a
38:28hundred times light speed, and for universe supreme masters, a million. And it's bigger than the
38:34universe boat? It's no lie, said primal chaos city leader. The report comes from many great beings,
38:40including several universe supreme masters. Leave the universe boat as soon as you can and meet us,
38:46Luofeng agreed. Getting out would take him about two hundred years. So he ended the talk and turned
38:51back at once. Swirling water river was only a second-tier dangerous land. Yet even inside a top-tier
39:00palace true treasure, someone careless could still suffer losses there. For a top-tier palace true
39:05treasure to be wiped out in an instant, with a universe master inside, was beyond what the river
39:11itself could do. So the first true. Master told the other four true, masters he would look into it
39:17personally, and set off at once. Three days later he stood in the chaos air and frowned. Water stretched
39:23across the distance and not one island remained. The entire river destroyed? He knew how formidable
39:29the natural dangers of the universe ocean were. All the great beings in the universe ocean together
39:35could not destroy a single dangerous land, let alone the whole of Swirling Water River.
39:41Something exceptional hit it head-on, he said slowly. The water burst outward and every island was
39:47crushed. Then his heart began to pound and he almost laughed. A chance! A great chance. He did
39:54not know what had done this, but it was surely something beyond imagination. And the scale of the
40:00destruction said as much. His race was facing its true death, and this unknown thing might be its only
40:06way to transcend incarnation. A giant halo opened behind his head, and in it a single enormous eye of
40:13flesh and blood stared across the emptiness as if it could see through everything. Inside that eye
40:19lingered a blurry trace of light striking the river and making it crumble. Millions of times more
40:25terrifying than Swirling Water River, even I can't reverse time and space to see it. With all my talent
40:31and technique I can only find its direction. This way! He teleported after it, tracking exactly where it
40:38flew would take time. But he was called Divine Eye True Master for a reason. An observation
40:43was his gift. A couple of days later, the giant object was still flying at its original speed.
40:49Using all his power on his divine eye, he could just make it out. A prone, human-shaped creature,
40:56160 million light years tall, traveling 120 million times faster than light. Only he could tell,
41:03and the number chilled him. Someone else was chasing it too. Demon Beast Ancestor could not confirm the
41:08speed, but he was there. First True Master! I found it first! He shouted.
41:14Ha ha ha! You think you can keep this chance for yourself? The First True Master waved him off.
41:21He owned two supreme true treasures, and Demon Beast Ancestor owned none. Then we found it together,
41:27and it belongs to us alone. Don't call the other four True Masters. If you do, I'll tell the entire
41:33universe ocean. The First True Master seethed. This was a wonderful opportunity that might let him
41:39transcend incarnation, and he wanted at least two more True Masters beside him. But Demon Beast
41:45Ancestor's avatar was in the original universe, and the news could spread in no time, so he swallowed
41:51his pride. Fine, he said. We two claim this alone. They tried to stop the giant. Neither dared go near
41:58it,
41:59because the space and time around its speed had gone hollow, and even the shockwaves alone could
42:05injure them. A closer approach could kill, and both of them knew it. Before they could even catch up,
42:10it passed out of their sight. Stop! Stop it! Change its direction! They were like two small creatures
42:17trying to halt a mountain, and the mountain never noticed them. More than three thousand years went by.
42:22Five more powers discovered the giant, and the First True Master, Demon Beast Ancestor. And all the
42:29later arrivals could only despair, as it rushed past the sight of eighteen great beings, as if they were
42:35not there. Useless, the First True Master said, shaking his head. We have tried everything. It has
42:42already destroyed three dangerous places, and its speed hasn't changed at all. Only two things could
42:47slow it. One, the original universe strong enough to suppress it. Two, any of the three lands of
42:53extremis, each surely as powerful as this thing. What do you think? No one answered. They could bend
43:00its course slightly to strike some dangerous place, but it would be pointless. If it hit the three lands
43:06of extremis, every power there would gather. And if it hit the original universe, the powers of the
43:12universe ocean would have no chance. So the same conclusion arrived from every side. Reluctantly,
43:18we'll make it known. If it struck one of the three lands, others would know anyway, and steering it
43:25there would need help. They had wanted this chance to themselves, but it was too big to keep, and
43:30everyone in the room felt that helplessness. I won't let it crash into the original universe,
43:36the First True Master thought, for the Divine Eye clan would lose every shred of its chance.
43:41We must redirect it, shouted rampaging Devil God, the fifth power to join. If it keeps racing toward
43:48the original universe, it could hit other miniature universes, which couldn't resist like Swirling Water
43:54River did. They'd be crushed in an instant. They all nodded. The universe boat, Tilted Peak Sector,
44:00and Flowing Level Mountain were indestructible, but miniature universes belonged to true gods.
44:06They were too large for other true gods to move, yet the giant was far stronger than true
44:11gods. A big enough shock could destroy a miniature universe's origin and crush the whole thing.
44:18If it could crush Swirling Water River so easily, a miniature universe would be nothing to it.
44:23So the news spread, and every power in the universe ocean was thrilled.
44:29Luo Feng whispered to himself, in the boat of mausoleum, as it turned in the endless black.
44:36Wind and revealed its base form. What are you playing at? An object like the universe boat,
44:42Flowing Level Mountain, or Tilted Peak Sector in human shape? The very possibility set his heart on
44:47fire. I'll see it myself. Flying at top speed? He still needed more than two hundred years to leave
44:53the universe boat. Then, the Hong Alliance's action. Team sent him coordinates through the virtual universe.
45:00Come, Luo Feng. We're here. The coordinates kept shifting, because the strike force was following
45:06the giant. In those two hundred years, every power had been hurrying toward it, so Luo Feng no longer
45:12doubted. He had seen blurry images through the virtual universe and had not been overwhelmed.
45:18He needed to see the real thing with his own eyes before he could truly believe it. He teleported again
45:23and again and caught up with the strike force. Luo Feng. Milky Way Horde Leader. More than a hundred and
45:29eighty universe masters of the Hong Alliance had gathered under. Primal Chaos City Leader. And many
45:35great beings from the United Forces Alliance had come as well. All knew what was at stake, so in this
45:40crucial moment, they had called a truce. Sixty-eight universe supreme. Masters and over three.
45:47Thousand two hundred universe. Masters are here. Primal Chaos City Leader told him.
45:52The elites of the universe ocean's powers and the two holy lands. So many. Luo Feng was amazed.
46:00Following the strike force, he saw them packed close together in the vast space. And even the
46:05weakest was a universe master. It was a thrilling sight, a gathering of everyone who mattered.
46:10He turned and looked toward the direction the giant was coming from. It's coming. It's coming.
46:16None could see it yet, but invisible shock waves washed over them. They spread fully and
46:22then the giant swept past them like a streak of gleaming light. Even Luo Feng felt like an
46:27ant beneath a mountain. Looking up at the towering human-shaped creature, he and every other great
46:32being gathered in the universe ocean felt like insects, small and powerless before something
46:37that did not even know they existed. It's two. Luo Feng stared wide-eyed and dumbfounded.
