Chapter 1317: Luo Feng’s Arrival

Within the vast void space outside the Universe Boat…

Hong!

A nine-story tower was advancing very quickly, and its extremely high speed left a dazzling tail of light in its trail.

Within the tower, Luo Feng had Blood Ghost Blade slung across his back as he looked far ahead into the distance at the towering yet damaged Universe Boat.

“Starting today,” he whispered, “I shall spend the majority of the next couple years roaming about the three most dangerous lands of the Universe Ocean! I am no longer the Luo Feng of yesterday. Now, I have become a universe master. After countless eras of submerging myself in cultivation, albeit discreetly, my strength has greatly increased! There is no need for me to act in secret anymore!”

******

Many universe masters had stayed around the peripheral region of Universe Boat for a long time, but most of them were only at the third- to fourth-tier standard.

“Look, the supreme true treasure, Star Tower!”

“It’s Star Tower from the primal universe. I heard that internally, the primal universe is divided into two big factions. The united forces camp and human camp are engaged in an unprecedented, ultimate war… One from the human camp is Milky Way Horde Leader, who has taken out Star Tower. Now that the situation within the primal universe has stabilized, Milky Way Horde Leader actually drove Star Tower here to Universe Boat!”

“Star Tower has stood in the primal universe for such a long time, but no one has managed to get it to recognize a master. Who would have expected it to finally fall into the hands of Milky Way Horde Leader? Besides, this Milky Way Horde Leader was also the one who had received the inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River. Milky Way Horde Leader… is simply too lucky! Why don’t I have such good luck?”

Luo Feng had no intentions of hiding at all. Onboard Star Tower, he had charged his way into Universe Boat. Of course, he would have gathered a sizable crowd of onlookers.

******

“Reporting to our race ancestors! The human, Milky Way Horde Leader, ‘Luo Feng,’ from the primal universe era has just entered the Universe Boat onboard Star Tower.”

******

“True Masters! Luo Feng has entered Universe Boat.”

******

“Ancestor, Milky Way Horde Leader has just entered the Universe Boat onboard his Star Tower. Just only.”

******

How fast did news spread in Universe Ocean? In just one day, the news had spread to all three reincarnation eras and the two holy lands! After all, since Luo Feng had received the inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River, he had become a “moving treasure” in the eyes of various groups of top powers within the entire Universe Ocean. Who would not covet Luo Feng’s inheritance?

The only thing was, they did not have the ability to obtain it!

Once where Luo Feng had been besieged by a group of universe supreme masters, every single one of them had released an outburst of combat power at the seventh- to eighth-tier level. There were even some who had released an outburst of ninth-tier combat power. When all of these were combined, the force was so powerful that even Teacher Origin might not have been able to resist it. But at the time, it was not even enough to make Boat of Mausoleum to budge. That was when they all knew that by using brute force alone, there was no way they could get that inheritance from Luo Feng. But this time around, he had chosen to bring Star Tower into Universe Boat instead. This made them all doubtful of his intentions.

The human camp had just stabilized, and Star Tower—an important combat power—was actually brought out into the Universe Ocean? And so openly, at that?

“Seems like Luo Feng is very confident about the strength of the human camp.”

“All universe masters of my race shall obey this command. Do not provoke Luo Feng. Keep your distance, and if you see him from a distance, be sure to steer clear of his path.”

“Transmit my command. No universe masters shall provoke Luo Feng.”

*******

Luo Feng, who was on board Star Tower, entered Universe Boat. As he made his way into the deeper region of Universe Boast, not a single great being dared to provoke him! After all, those who did were normally universe supreme masters, and universe supreme masters were mostly gathered in the core or at least at the peripheral area of the core.

As for universe masters? For now, all the groups of top powers within the Universe Ocean knew that Luo Feng had a palace type supreme true treasure: Star Tower. When Star Tower executed its “swallowing” technique, only those who were at least at the sixth-tier as the top level power could resist. Normal universe masters who hid a good distance away would be spared, but the moment they were near, they would be swallowed by Star Tower right away.

Secondly, Luo Feng had a soul-impact treasure. There were sayings that only those with willpower at the level of a universe supreme master would be able to resist. Otherwise, anyone else would not be able to put up any resistance before Luo Feng.

These two factors alone made all the universe masters from the groups of top powers extremely fearful of Luo Feng!

******

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng had been in Universe Boat for 300 years. He might have been strong, but his speed was still unable to exceed the limit of 100 times light speed! So if he wanted to make it to the secret chamber within the space of the cyan token, he would still need close to 700 years to arrive at his destination.

While many universe masters of the various groups of top powers had been on tenterhooks when Luo Feng first appeared within the Universe Ocean, now, they were no longer so worried.

In the beginning, they had been afraid that Luo Feng would initiate an orgy of killing. After all, the Ancestral God Eye was only capable of facing one direction at any one time; it was limited in terms of distance affected, but it was still considerably far! The combination of the Ancestral God Eye and Star Tower was an absolute nightmare for the universe masters. If they were to accidentally encounter Luo Feng, there was no way they would have time to escape. When some universe masters accidentally bumped into the approaching Star Tower, they were all scared out of their wits. Without second thoughts, they took off in another direction.

However, when Star Tower passed them, it did not attack. Initially, they felt relieved. With the passing of time—especially after more than 300 years had passed—even when Luo Feng crossed paths with any of the universe masters, he still made no move to attack. This had put the majority of the universe masters at ease.

“I am no fool!” Standing in the hall of Star Tower, looking out at the endless blazing flames, Luo Feng smiled to himself. “I may have the ability to kill and capture these universe masters. I may even be more skillful than most of the universe supreme masters… but, if I were to kill mindlessly, I would make enemies all over the place.”

Making enemies everywhere, thought Luo Feng. That, I am not scared of. But it would subsequently bring harm to my human race and the Hong Alliance.

The various groups of top powers of the universe had once joined forces to attack the Boat of Mausoleum, but at that time, everyone had attacked one another, so there had been no loss on any side. Therefore, it had not resulted in a feud! Some great beings could still continue to maintain close friendships with Luo Feng. But if he were to go on a rampage, killing universe masters of other races, and there were universe masters who were annihilated as a result, then hatred and enmity would arise.

When he had fought against the other races, so long as there were no injuries, he could still join forces with these other races to fight others if the need arose. But if the opposing side annihilated Ice Mountain Master or Primal Chaos City Leader… Luo Feng would be red-eyed with anger. The same theory applied. If he had gone on a rampage, killing mercilessly, he would have made enemies everywhere he went! By then, the universe masters whose abilities were a notch weaker—like Long Yan Master and Remote Lord Master—would have trouble making their way about Universe Ocean.

Of course, Luo Feng would never allow himself to take such a foolish course of action.

“I have been in the outside world for over 300 years and in the space of cultivation for more than 300 eras,” Luo Feng said to himself. “Comprehending Star Tower has brought me to my current ultimate limit. The second volume of Extermination, one of three sets of lost knowledge, is too difficult. I have yet to master it. But I have gained a lot from Star Tower, which is more than enough.”

Before the battle, he was only able to comprehend the first three layers of secret engravings of Star Tower.

For an ordinary supreme true treasure, the third layer would normally reach the sixth tier as the top level of combat power! The fourth layer of secret engravings would reach the seventh tier as the top level of combat power! The fifth layer of secret engravings would reach the eighth tier as the top level of combat power! The sixth layer of secret engravings would reach the ninth tier as the top level of combat power! (This was Huge Axe’s level.) The seventh layer of secret engravings would reach the tenth tier as the top level of combat power! (This was Teacher Origin’s level. However, some supreme true treasures might not have a seventh layer of secret engravings on them).

The classification of an ability could usually be determined this way. But Star Tower was different.

The first three layers of Star Tower were still considered normal, where the third layer was at the sixth tier as the top level of combat power.

The fourth layer: the seventh tier as the top level of combat power!

The fifth layer: the eighth tier as the top level of combat power!

The sixth layer: the eighth tier as the top level of combat power!

The seventh layer: the ninth tier as the top level of combat power!

The eighth layer: the ninth tier as the top level of combat power!

The ninth layer: the tenth tier as the top level of combat power!

For now, Luo Feng could only faintly detect its power up to the ninth layer. After that, everything was blurred, and he simply could not detect further. As for its strength, he could vaguely make a judgment based on its secret engravings. Of course, for now, Star Tower was fully capable of executing combat power at the fifth layer, which was the level at which Luo Feng managed to gain a complete comprehension of—after spending more than 600 eras comprehending it! From its strength, one could tell the difference between Star Tower and the other supreme true treasures. Star Tower’s fourth layer was no different from the fourth layer of other supreme true treasures. However, its sixth layer was matched to the fifth later of other supreme true treasures.

Other supreme true treasures followed the sequence of the seventh tier as the top level of combat power—eighth tier as the top level of combat power—ninth tier as the top level of combat power! But for Star Tower, the sequence was the seventh tier as the top level of combat power—eighth tier as the top level of combat power—eighth tier as the top level of combat power—ninth tier as the top level of combat power.

Firstly, its power could be fully maximized. Secondly, every layer of secret engravings would represent one type of combat technique.

The fourth layer and fifth layer meant that Luo Feng had mastered two more different techniques.

For normal supreme true treasures like Black Prison Tower, I’m afraid they could only execute up to the fourth layer, Luo Feng thought. But for Star Tower, I can execute techniques up to the fourth and fifth layers.

The two techniques that he was able to execute upon increasing his level made Luo Feng even more eager and interested in Star Tower.

“When my strength improves by another notch, I will be able to create a higher level blade technique,” Luo Feng said to himself. “By that time, I will be able to comprehend the sixth and seventh layers.”

While other universe supreme masters improved their strength by comprehending the next layer of secret engravings, Luo Feng improved his by comprehending two layers.

*******

In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng had been in Universe Boat for more than 400 years.

Within Whirling Swamp Ocean in the internal region of Universe Boat…

Hua! Hua!

The greenish Whirling Swamp Ocean was forming numerous gigantic whirlpools that were tearing everything apart. Within the Whirling Swamp Ocean was a huge red reef with its largest diameter being around 900 million kilometers. On this red reef were 12 universe masters. All of them were staring hard into the distance.

There were numerous whirlpools created by the Whirling Swamp Ocean, and they all converged to give rise to an extremely large whirlpool. Far in the distance was the core of that extremely large whirlpool.

“Every time a treasure is born within the Whirling Swamp Ocean, it will be a pinnacle true treasure at least. It might even be a pinnacle domain type, palace type, or many other kinds of precious true treasures.”

The 12 universe masters who all came from different groups of top powers were staring intensely as they waited in silence. The endless whirlpools of the Whirling Swamp Ocean produced a gale that could sweep through everything in time and space. Comparatively, the whirlwind around the reef was weaker, yet it was more than enough to cause the universe masters on the reef to face difficulty in standing.

Suddenly—

Hong!

A streak of light flew over at high speed from afar.

The universe masters of various races on the reef were taken aback.

“It is the most dangerous moment of the Whirling Swamp Ocean right now. Who would dare to hover in the skies above? Are they not worried about being swept down into it?”

“It’s Star Tower.”

“The nine-story tower! It’s Milky Way Horde Leader’s Star Tower!”

“No wonder he dared to barge his way in so directly. It’s because he has a palace supreme true treasure. If I had one, I, too, would dare to charge my way straight into the deep region of the Whirling Swamp Ocean.”

These universe masters all watched from afar in astonishment. Not a single one of them had the intention of escaping or hiding. When Luo Feng had just entered Universe Boat, the moment they saw him, they would most likely have scattered to escape for their dear lives. But now, everyone knew… Luo Feng indeed had the demeanor of a great being; he would never ever bully the weak. All this while, no one had ever heard of Luo Feng killing anyone.

“Eh? Star Tower is taking a turn.”

“It is flying toward us.”

“It is coming over!”

All the universe masters on the reef—who were either plant life forms, energy life forms, or flesh and blood life forms—were instantly shocked. The next moment, they all started to panic! If this Milky Way Horde Leader had no designs on them, why would he deliberately make a turn and head in their direction? But now, even if they wanted to, it was too late to escape.

Because he was already too close, the gale of Whirling Swamp Ocean had reached an extremely high level. They did not even dare to fly in the skies above.

A life form with three black spikes on its back yelled, “Milky Way Horde Leader, the true treasure that will be born from this Whirling Swamp Ocean—we are willing to let you, Milky Way Horde Leader, have it.”

Every universe master there—all of whom were from different races—watched expectantly.

Star Tower gradually reduced its speed and hovered at a particular spot above the reef.

Hua!

From one of the side doors at the base of Star Tower, a lone figure slowly flew out. Garbed in silver armor and with four silver wings outspread, the figure swept its gaze across the surroundings as he looked down.

“The other 11 universe masters here have no cause for worry. I am here… only because of him—!”

Luo Feng’s finger pointed down at one of the 12 universe masters.

Instantly, the other 11 universe masters turned around to see who the unlucky fellow was. Their eyes fell upon the tall and lofty thunder giant who carried lightning balls on his chest. His expression betrayed his fear as he looked around, then looked up at Luo Feng. His face was filled with panic and terror.
