Jue An Continent

High above the boundless continent, a thin, rainbow-colored membrane shimmered, possessing immense resistance. Luo Feng, naturally, passed through it with ease. “This resistance… only a Sector Lord could likely penetrate it,” Luo Feng nodded slightly, then descended. Even in mid-air, Luo Feng felt an incredibly powerful ‘gravitational pull’ emanating from below, its strength secretly astonishing him. “Such a strong pull, I imagine only a Universe-level being could maintain flight here.” He merely flickered in mid-air before landing on the vast earth. The moment his feet touched the ground, the gravitational pull instantly weakened to an almost negligible degree. He murmured, “The Yuan Ao Master truly put a lot of thought into creating these twelve continents.” “A vast land, a rainbow membrane. Between the two, there must be a powerful repulsive force, which only ceases once one lands on the ground?” Luo Feng couldn't help but marvel at the capabilities of the Yuan Ao Master, who existed in the very early stages of the universe. Creating these twelve continents must have required immense effort. Luo Feng’s gaze swept across his surroundings. It was a black wasteland, stretching as far as the eye could see, littered with countless skeletons. Many had decayed, but some remained remarkably solid, clearly not having perished too long ago. “This battlefield spans roughly ten thousand kilometers. The strength of the remains varies, with the strongest being merely Sector Lords,” Luo Feng mused. With his ethereal divine power, he had only detected three Sector Lord skeletons across the entire battlefield: one buried deep underground, and two others within the mountains. At each of the battlefield’s two edges stood an incredibly majestic and ancient city. Along the ten-thousand-kilometer-long city walls, numerous warriors patrolled. Their appearances revealed they belonged to various different races, and the bloody aura emanating from the walls spoke volumes of a brutal history of war. “A battlefield? Two grand passes?” Luo Feng swiftly transformed. His wings turned dark cyan, his hair became fiery red and short, and his skin turned dark cyan. This appearance closely resembled one of the races he had detected among the soldiers with his ethereal divine power. “I don’t recognize this race,” he thought. His consciousness quickly probed through the Virtual Universe for information, and what he found startled him. “The Ka Jiu race?” “This weak race vanished from the universe long ago, with only remnants remaining within the Yuan Ao Secret Realm,” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. “The Yuan Ao Master’s extensive plundering back then unexpectedly preserved this lineage for the Ka Jiu race.” Whoosh! With a single step, Luo Feng had already bypassed the majestic border city, appearing a hundred million kilometers away, above an incredibly luxurious and vast city. Millions of citizens bustled within, but Luo Feng, appearing high above, was naturally invisible to these ordinary beings. “Still gray,” Luo Feng noted. In the palm of his left hand rested a golden toad, its eyes still gray. “Each continent is incredibly vast. This gray toad only senses the target when I’m within a hundred million kilometers. How long will this take?” Luo Feng took another step… and continued his search a hundred million kilometers away… ... Luo Feng began his lengthy search. It was known that these twelve continents ranged in diameter from over one light-year to nearly eight light-years! Luo Feng maintained a hundred million kilometer teleportation distance with each jump. Even if he teleported ten thousand times a day… it would still take him ten days to traverse a continent one light-year long. And it was also one light-year wide… “To thoroughly search all twelve continents, it would likely take tens of thousands of years.” “Fortunately, the search only requires a fraction of my attention.” Luo Feng merely allocated a sliver of his consciousness to this arduous search, while the rest of his mind was fully immersed in the ‘Path of the Beast God’ and the ‘Secret Pattern Flow’. ... In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng had spent half a year on this continent. “Nothing.” “Not here either.” “Here… huh! It’s red!” Luo Feng, who had been teleporting repeatedly, suddenly stopped. He held the golden toad in his hand, its eyes now fiery red. This was the first time the golden toad’s eyes had turned red in half a year of searching, naturally sending a jolt through Luo Feng. Even his clones temporarily ceased their cultivation. “It’s in that direction.” Luo Feng looked up into the distance, then teleported to a point approximately a million kilometers from the target. Following that, Luo Feng began to fly… “A million kilometers, I can fly there in moments.” “I need to investigate the situation around the target. For an Ancestral God of the ‘Ancestral God Sect,’ the universe’s foremost power, to attach such importance to it, and even claim it’s something detrimental to the Original Universe…,” Luo Feng dared not be careless. If an Ancestral God said it was ‘detrimental to the Original Universe,’ it was likely far from simple. Flying high in the sky, his ethereal divine power probed the surrounding hundred thousand kilometers. Luo Feng didn’t dare to probe too far, fearing he might startle the target and allow it to escape. This was also Luo Feng’s first time meticulously probing this vast continent. As he did, scenes unfolded before him—the myriad loves, hates, and grievances playing out across this land. The unique civilization of the ‘Jue An Continent’ was revealed to Luo Feng, filling him with considerable delight. “An interesting little fellow, a rather unlucky one,” Luo Feng’s ethereal divine power suddenly locked onto a spot on the ground below. ... “Wei Yan Family, just you wait! I, Bu A, will definitely become a great Saint and raze the entire Wei Yan Fortress to the ground!” On the back of a monstrous beast with massive tusks sat a burly knight. Tall and powerfully built, he wore thick full plate armor, and two enormous blood-red battle-axes hung beside his beast. His face, revealed from beneath his helmet, bore a saber scar that bisected half of it, making him appear even more ferocious. “To insult me like this! I served him, fought life-and-death battles for him, yet he dared to humiliate me so, even taking my maidservant and giving her to another!” “I will have my revenge, I will! When I return, I will surely be a great Saint, and I will flatten the entire Wei Yan Fortress.” The beast-knight cursed, and his monstrous mount galloped furiously. Rumble rumble~~~ Hoofbeats thundered from behind. The beast-knight glanced back, his eyes widening, his face paling. Behind him, a hundred beast-knights galloped in pursuit. “Caw caw caw~~~” Piercing cries echoed from high above, making the beast-knight, Bu A, look up. In the sky, a massive exotic beast soared, its entire body fiery red, with flames wreathed around the edges of its scaled wings. “A Firewing Dragon! There are only nine Firewing Dragons in the entire Wei Yan Fortress, and they’ve dispatched one along with a hundred beast-knights just to kill a Fifth-tier Knight like me!” A look of madness flashed in Bu A’s eyes as he fiercely grabbed the twelve-meter-long knight’s lance resting on his beast’s back. He gripped the lance with both hands, aiming it at the Firewing Dragon rapidly approaching from high above. Sweat beaded on Bu A’s face, and his entire body trembled slightly as he gritted his teeth and stared. It wasn’t fear, but the overwhelming pressure from the Firewing Dragon in the sky. A Firewing Dragon required a ‘Ninth-tier Knight,’ second only to a Saint, to contend with it. He was merely a Fifth-tier Knight… even a thousand of him couldn’t stand against a single Firewing Dragon! Boom! The monstrous beast beneath him buckled at the knees and collapsed, sending Bu A tumbling through the air and rapidly falling to the ground. Although he rolled upon impact, the massive lance in his hands remained pointed towards the sky. “Wei Yan Family! Wei Yan Family! Damn you! Even if I, your great Bu A, die, I’ll turn into a ghost knight and come for you!” Bu A roared. “Hahahaha…” “A ghost knight?” “Dream on.” The Firewing Dragon circled in the sky, while the other beast-knights rapidly caught up, quickly surrounding Bu A in the center. This group of beast-knights… in Luo Feng’s judgment from high above, seemed to come from three different races. In terms of strength, the flying exotic beast was likely at the ‘Star-level Seventh or Eighth-tier’ standard. Although normally only Universe-level beings could fly, this exotic beast could manage flight by leveraging its wings and its own abilities. As for the other knights, they were all Planet-level, with the strongest merely at Planet-level Ninth-tier. “Bu A, I won’t bully you. My subordinates won’t lift a finger. Just me… to deal with you.” The knight, clad in the most ornate armor, rode a pure white, single-horned exotic beast. “Come on, come on, let your great Bu A kick your ass!” Bu A, holding the massive lance, grinned like a madman, staring at the handsome knight. He understood… before the Wei Yan Family, he was just a tiny ant. He knew resistance meant death, but he simply couldn’t swallow his pride. Suddenly… the heavens and earth fell silent. Time seemed to halt. The roadside weeds, bent by the wind, froze in place. The knights and the exotic beast circling in mid-air also stopped moving. “What, what’s happening?” Bu A, still clutching his lance, was utterly terrified. A figure slowly walked forward, smiling as he looked at Bu A. “You’ll do.” The man with dark cyan wings said this to him, and then an invisible force bound Bu A. Whoosh! In the wilderness a thousand kilometers away, Bu A tumbled to the ground. He immediately scrambled to his feet, muttering, “What the hell, has your great Bu A encountered a devil? Hmm… where’s the Firewing Dragon? This, where is this, ah…” The burly, powerful man stared in terror at the figure standing before him. The figure wore seemingly simple black robes, possessed dark cyan wings, dark cyan skin, and fiery red short hair. His entire being exuded a subtle, eerie, and exotic aura. “My lord,” Bu A bowed repeatedly. “I’ve come to this world and need to ask some questions of a living being. You, I have chosen,” Luo Feng said, looking at Bu A. “I know you fear the Wei Yan Family. Rest assured, the pursuit team will only think you’ve escaped far away. Oh? Are you guessing my identity? A Saint? A Legend? A Demigod?” Bu A grew even more terrified. The being before him actually knew exactly what he was thinking. Luo Feng smiled. A Universe-level being could easily soul-search a Planet-level one. With his current power… how could the thoughts of this weak little fellow escape his detection? Luo Feng casually teased the young man, while simultaneously sweeping through his memories, thoroughly exploring them. “An interesting world.” “An interesting little fellow,” Luo Feng said, looking at Bu A, then turned his head to gaze at the distant mountains. “The direction that caused the golden toad’s eyes to turn red… is it inhabited by what these natives call a ‘Legend’?” “I admire your character, but I’m curious what you would become if you possessed great power.” Luo Feng looked at the somewhat terrified and uneasy Bu A before him. Instantly, from the vast array of materials stored in Luo Feng’s world ring, a very ordinary, exotic cosmic fruit appeared in his palm. It then transformed into a green stream of light, enveloping Bu A. “Ah!” Bu A cried out in alarm, instantly enveloped by the green light. Under Luo Feng’s meticulous control of his divine power, Bu A’s body continuously absorbed energy essence, breaking through repeatedly. His life genes instantly surged at a terrifying speed, and the energy within him constantly broke new limits… In moments, a Universe-level Ninth-tier being was born. Luo Feng smiled as he watched this scene. Having already obtained the information he needed, what he did for Bu A was merely on a whim. To a great Universe Master… the value of a single cosmic fruit was negligible. Then, with a turn, Luo Feng took a step and departed.
