Chapter 1056
Prisoner in the Absolute Land
Unable to sense his God Kingdom, connect to the Virtual Universe, or enter the Dark Universe, with a maximum speed exceeding light speed and no spatial fluctuations...
"Where exactly is this place?"
Luo Feng, relying on inertia, maintained super-high-speed flight through the void, observing the surrounding starry sky. Distant stars twinkled brilliantly, still as serene and beautiful as ever.
"No, that's not right."
"My speed already exceeds the speed of light. Logically, I should only be able to see what's ahead. The area behind me should be completely dark." Luo Feng looked back in confusion; the starry scenery behind him was still perfectly clear. This immediately puzzled Luo Feng. With a thought, his divine power instantly spread out.
He sensed the speed of individual light rays.
"So fast."
"This..."
"The speed of light in this Absolute Land is different from that of the original universe." Luo Feng quickly made a judgment. The speed of light in the original universe was 300,000 kilometers per second! But in this mysterious Absolute Land, the speed of 'light' was a hundred times faster, reaching approximately 30,000,000 kilometers per second!
"The speed of divine power?" Luo Feng frowned slightly.
Whoosh!
A wisp of divine power rapidly extended in all directions, making Luo Feng sigh inwardly, "In the universe, the maximum speed of divine power is 300,000 kilometers per second... yet in this Absolute Land, the extension speed of divine power has reached a hundred times that."
Whoosh! Luo Feng accelerated again, flying through the starry sky.
2 times the original universe's light speed, 3 times the original universe's light speed...
Luo Feng's speed continuously soared.
The operational rules of the universe in this Absolute Land had completely changed. Luo Feng's current feeling was similar to when he was beside Zuoshanke, or when he was in the Primal Universe.
When he was with Zuoshanke, as one of the universe's strongest beings, Zuoshanke could completely alter all surrounding laws. Their words were law!
In the Primal Universe, being an entirely different universe, there were naturally some fundamental changes.
...
Luo Feng's flight speed continued to soar, and as it did, the pressure on his divine body increased. However, this Demon Killer Clan clone's divine body was a hundred times stronger than that of an ordinary peak King, so it could fully withstand the pressure.
"Reached a hundred times the original universe's light speed!"
"The speed can't increase any further..." Luo Feng tried every method, even burning divine power, but couldn't increase his speed by even a fraction. He remained completely at the level of 'a hundred times the original universe's light speed.' This was already the limit for divine power extension and the speed of light within this Absolute Land.
Whoosh!
The area behind him had already turned dark; Luo Feng could only see the starry sky ahead.
"Even at my maximum speed, I haven't entered the Dark Universe. It seems this Absolute Land doesn't have a 'Dark Universe'." Luo Feng was somewhat puzzled.
"Let's take a good look..."
"What kind of world is this Absolute Land?" Luo Feng continued flying at a hundred times the original universe's light speed...
...
Inside Luo Feng's God Kingdom.
The boundless Abyssal Sea surged majestically. In the golden divine palace above the Abyssal Sea, Luo Feng's Earthling true body sat cross-legged on the massive plaza in front of the God Kingdom.
"Though I'm trapped in this Absolute Land, the gains outweigh the losses!"
"At least I successfully obtained the fourth black metal plate of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual." Luo Feng smiled. The fourth black metal plate was inside the Craftsman God Mountain's core. When the Golden Horned Beast swallowed the metal plate and introduced divine power to bind it, the information within the black metal plate completely spread out.
The first three metal plates allowed Luo Feng to gather the cultivation methods for the first five tribulations.
This fourth black metal plate contained a large amount of missing information, and when combined with the first three... it surprisingly completed the cultivation methods for the first seven tribulations.
"I now possess the first seven tribulations of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual."
"That last black metal plate will probably complete the final two tribulations."
"Time to cultivate!"
The Earthling true body began cultivating the sixth tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual...
...
Meanwhile, in the world ring carried by the Demon Killer Clan clone, which was continuously flying at a hundred times the original universe's light speed, the Golden Horned Beast clone was also cultivating the sixth tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual. Even if one failed midway through the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, and their physical body turned into fragments and dust, Luo Feng's divine body was already powerful enough to achieve an immortal body.
Even a single fragment could revive him!
Those fragments and dust would completely re-coalesce... so even in this Absolute Land, he could fully cultivate the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual without fear of failure midway.
...
Maintaining flight at a hundred times the original universe's light speed, he continued for over a year.
By this time, Luo Feng had flown into a star system containing three planets.
"These three planets are truly beautiful," Luo Feng secretly marveled. "One is entirely emerald green, one is a mix of yellow and white, and the other is a dreamy kaleidoscope of colors."
As Luo Feng flew into the heart of this star system...
"Hahaha, an alien has actually come to the Absolute Land." An ancient voice emanated from the yellow planet, and after several seconds of transmission through space, it boomed around Luo Feng.
"How long have we been lonely, Ba Jian Venerable?" A ghostly voice, faintly echoing, came from the dreamy, colorful planet.
"It's been over sixty thousand epochs since we last saw an alien." A cold voice emerged from the emerald green planet.
Luo Feng's expression subtly changed.
Boom! An invisible, ethereal divine power soul attack instantly pierced into Luo Feng's body. However, this Demon Killer Clan clone was completely immune to soul attacks.
"It's an energy lifeform, immune to soul attacks." The ghostly voice echoed through space.
"Then let's thoroughly torment him," the cold voice said.
"Leave him to me," the ancient voice replied, filled with excited anticipation.
...
Luo Feng gazed in three directions, seeing a figure fly out from each of the three planets. Their speeds rapidly soared, reaching 'a hundred times the original universe's light speed' in moments, directly closing in on Luo Feng.
"My Demon Killer Clan clone isn't suited for combat."
Whoosh!
A Golden Horned Beast, about a meter long, spread its wings and hovered in the air. The Demon Killer Clan clone swiftly entered the world ring, safely stored by the Golden Horned Beast.
"Oh, it's actually a Starry Sky Behemoth?"
"It's a Golden Horned Beast."
"A Golden Horned Beast is even better." The emerald green figure's voice was clear and cold, vast and mighty, carrying endless killing intent.
The Golden Horned Beast hovered in the air, observing the three directions and carefully identifying them... In an instant, it recognized them. These three alien powerhouses were all renowned and mighty 'Cosmic Overlords' in the universe, though they had disappeared a very long time ago, with no news of them since.
They were Ba Jian Venerable, Ce Tian Venerable, and Yu An Lord.
"Ba Jian Venerable, Ce Tian Venerable, Yu An Lord... I never expected you three to still be alive!" The Golden Horned Beast's voice boomed, echoing through the boundless starry sky.
The three figures gradually slowed down, stopping tens of thousands of kilometers away from Luo Feng.
All three powerhouses seemed stunned.
"The outside world still remembers us."
"We haven't been forgotten." Ce Tian Venerable's ancient voice and Yu An Lord's ghostly voice both rang out.
Ba Jian Venerable, the emerald green figure, had eyes full of indifference. Looking at the distant Golden Horned Beast, he coldly demanded, "Speak, what exactly has happened in the outside world over these nearly two hundred thousand epochs?"
Ce Tian Venerable and Yu An Lord also stared at the Golden Horned Beast.
"Ba Jian Venerable," the Golden Horned Beast roared, "Are you giving orders to your servant? I don't like your tone... Although I pity your predicament and am willing to explain, your attitude displeases me greatly."
"You're courting death!"
Ba Jian Venerable's vertical eye was filled with icy coldness. "If you refuse to speak... then I'll kill you until you do!" Boom! His divine body instantly ignited, and his vertical eye was filled with indifference.
Whoosh!
An emerald green sword light instantly streaked across the cosmic starry sky, traversing tens of thousands of kilometers to cleave directly towards the Golden Horned Beast.
Luo Feng hadn't expected Ba Jian Venerable to be so insane. If Ba Jian Venerable had been polite, Luo Feng would have explained. And deep down... Luo Feng also wanted to have a good chat with these three Cosmic Overlords who had been trapped in the Absolute Land for endless ages. But it seemed Ba Jian Venerable didn't consider him an equal.
"Attack." Ce Tian Venerable instantly wielded a completely dark long staff. With a sweep, the staff transformed into a weapon tens of thousands of kilometers long, sweeping towards Luo Feng.
"Hahahaha..."
Yu An Lord laughed loudly, but his voice continuously burrowed into the Golden Horned Beast's body. Even though Luo Feng's will and consciousness were at the Cosmic Overlord level, he was still subtly affected. The Golden Horned Beast, ignoring everything else, immediately ignited its divine body and flapped its wings, attempting to dodge. However, the icy sword light was astonishingly fast.
Whoosh! A single sword strike sent the Golden Horned Beast flying backward.
Bang!
A heavy staff strike, as if shattering the universe, immediately followed, smashing onto the Golden Horned Beast's head.
Ba Jian Venerable and Ce Tian Venerable coordinated skillfully, especially with Yu An Lord constantly affecting Luo Feng's will and consciousness... For a time, the Golden Horned Beast was completely besieged. Firstly, the Golden Horned Beast's combat power was inherently weaker than these three Cosmic Overlords. Secondly, its divine body was still severely injured, with only one-tenth of its previous strength, leaving it only able to take hits.
"His wings are a supreme treasure!" Ce Tian Venerable shouted.
"He has supreme treasure armor on him," Yu An Lord also quickly added. "The three of us are besieging him, yet he can still withstand it. This Golden Horned Beast must possess high-grade supreme treasure armor."
"Kill it."
"Seize the treasure."
"The supreme treasure armor is mine; you can divide the rest," Ba Jian Venerable said indifferently.
Ce Tian Venerable and Yu An Lord were slightly annoyed, but they knew that Ba Jian Venerable's strength was greater than theirs... Moreover, they still hadn't found a way to leave the Absolute Land.
"Alright."
"Alright."
Ce Tian Venerable and Yu An Lord both nodded.
"Golden Horned Beast, what happens outside doesn't mean much to us whether you speak or not. Your supreme treasures are more important to us." Ba Jian Venerable looked indifferently at the Golden Horned Beast. "Die."
Roar~~~
An earth-shattering roar echoed.
Whoosh whoosh~~~~ Boundless golden river water spread out from nothing, enveloping tens of millions of kilometers of the surrounding starry sky. Within this endless golden river, nine exotic beasts roamed, with the Golden Horned Beast at its center.
"A domain-type supreme treasure!" Yu An Lord, Ce Tian Venerable, and Ba Jian Venerable were all greatly shocked.
"Kill me and seize my treasures?" Under the pressure of the endless golden river water, the three Cosmic Overlords couldn't even touch the Golden Horned Beast. The Golden Horned Beast's eyes, burning with endless fury, swept over them. "Let's see who truly dies!"
