Universe Ocean

Virtual Universe, atop Thunder Island.

Luo Feng and Ice Peak Master walked side-by-side along the corridor, both in a rather pleasant mood.

Although the battle on Original Star had brought him fame and success, even ranking him among the Universe Masters, Luo Feng knew deep down that he was merely at the bottom tier of Universe Masters. The most fundamental reason for his outburst on Original Star was to reclaim ownership of Earth as soon as possible, allowing Earthlings to truly possess their homeland!

Earth had returned.

Earthlings, in the cosmos, had already subtly formed a branch lineage! Just like the so-called 'Manka Star people' within the human race, 'Earthlings' had similarly become an extremely noble race.

The goal had been achieved, yet Luo Feng understood his own weakness!

On Original Star, even with the 'Calamity Armor' and the even more heaven-defying 'Star Tower', he was still at a disadvantage against Star River Master! Without the Star Tower... he would indeed be in the bottom tier. Fortunately...

"Fortunately, this trip to the Original Secret Region allowed me to discover another path."

"The Shi Wu Wings are incredibly special; they can even control space-time!"

"And I was incredibly lucky to snatch the top-tier domain-type supreme treasure, the Flame Sand Cup."

"Miniature Universe, Shi Wu Wings, Flame Sand Cup... with these three stacked, I can completely suppress a peak domain supreme treasure! It's comparable to the finest among peak domain supreme treasures... perhaps only an Ultimate Supreme Treasure could suppress it. With this move, an opponent's strength would definitely be suppressed by one or even two levels," Luo Feng mused.

"Normally, just using the Golden Kingdom and Flame Domain simultaneously can barely rival a peak domain supreme treasure."

"At critical moments, the Miniature Universe can also be used. Its only weakness is that the Miniature Universe consumes 10% of my divine body." Luo Feng sighed inwardly. In fact, the minimum activation of the 'I Am the Universe' technique, when he was at the Immortal level, already consumed 10% of his divine body. The current Luo Feng could indeed consume 1% or even one-thousandth of his divine body each time, but the power would be significantly weaker, to an exaggerated degree.

"It's a pity I only have one Ultimate Secret Technique, and it's an auxiliary one like the Miniature Universe," Luo Feng thought to himself. "If only I had an offensive Ultimate Secret Technique."

Many beings, like Star River Master and Ice Peak Master, generally possessed offensive Ultimate Secret Techniques.

"Before, I was at the bottom, only able to save my life effectively by relying on the Calamity Armor."

"Now, at the very least, I can suppress Sirius Master."

...

Seeing the figure seated in the distance, Luo Feng immediately cast his thoughts aside and walked over. "Teacher."

"Senior Brother," Ice Peak Master also called out.

"Sit," Chaos City Lord said, personally pouring fruit wine for Luo Feng and Ice Peak Master.

Luo Feng and Ice Peak Master sat down.

"Judging by your expressions, I know the results are good," Chaos City Lord smiled. "You two have worked hard this time. Luo Feng, you tell us, recount the entire matter from beginning to end."

"Mm," Luo Feng nodded.

Ice Peak Master was somewhat reclusive by nature. The battle in the Yuan Ao Secret Region, where he gained many Silk Thread Map fragments and consistently received Luo Feng's help, was why he made such an exception for Luo Feng.

"I acted on the instructions of the Two-faced Ancestral God of the Ancestral God Sect..." Luo Feng began to explain in detail. From beginning to end, Luo Feng was the one who knew the most about this matter; other powerhouses had only joined later. Ice Peak Master also listened carefully.

He finished speaking in a moment.

"Two Silk Thread Map fragments, five fragments..." Chaos City Lord looked at Ice Peak Master.

"Luo Feng is being modest," Ice Peak Master said directly. "Without the assistance of his 'Golden Kingdom,' competing with Universe Masters from other major forces, I wouldn't have been able to obtain so many. That Golden Kingdom is extremely powerful and can control space-time, far stronger than a Universe Master's control over a region of space-time... combined with my Cold Mist Realm, it's practically comparable to a peak domain-type supreme treasure."

"Golden Kingdom?" Chaos City Lord exclaimed in surprise. "What Golden Kingdom? Luo Feng, when did you acquire a supreme treasure that can control space-time?"

"Hahaha... Senior Brother, you, as his teacher, don't even know?" Ice Peak Master laughed. He rarely saw his Senior Brother surprised.

"I truly didn't know," Chaos City Lord said, looking at Luo Feng.

"It's the Shi Wu Wings," Luo Feng replied.

"Shi Wu Wings?" Chaos City Lord was astonished.

Luo Feng nodded. "Yes, Teacher, you bestowed the Shi Wu Wings upon me back then. Later, by chance on Original Star, I obtained another pair of supreme treasure wings. To my surprise, that pair of supreme treasure wings merged with the Shi Wu Wings, transforming into the four-winged supreme treasure I now possess."

"Merged? An Incomplete Supreme Treasure!" Chaos City Lord was shocked.

"An Incomplete Supreme Treasure!" Ice Peak Master was also startled.

"No wonder, no wonder. When I obtained the Shi Wu Wings in the Universe Ocean back then, I noticed their special material, but from the surface, they didn't appear incomplete. I merely thought they were a winged supreme treasure refined from some special materials," Chaos City Lord said, astonished. "To think they were an incomplete component! Usually, incomplete components have their power greatly affected... yet the Shi Wu Wings were quite perfect. And these are just components. It seems this supreme treasure is truly extraordinary."

Luo Feng nodded.

"How is its power?" Chaos City Lord pressed.

"The Shi Wu Wings' greatest power now is to control a region of space-time," Luo Feng explained. "It's stronger than a Universe Master's control over a region of space-time, but naturally weaker than a Universe Supreme Master's control. Judging by its aura... it should be considered a Top-tier Supreme Treasure."

"A Top-tier Supreme Treasure!"

Chaos City Lord exclaimed in admiration, "To uniquely control space-time, that's a very special supreme treasure. It should be considered among the finest of Top-tier Supreme Treasures, more precious than ordinary top-tier domain-type supreme treasures. By the way, is that four-winged supreme treasure in its complete state?"

"I feel... it's not!" Luo Feng said directly. His current status was different; even possessing a peak domain-type supreme treasure, there was no need to hide it. Moreover, the Shi Wu Wings were originally a gift from his teacher, and if he were to obtain a third component in the future, Chaos City Lord would still understand, so it was better not to conceal it.

"Not in its complete state?" Chaos City Lord was surprised.

"Not?" Ice Peak Master was also startled.

"Haha..." Chaos City Lord laughed. "It must be among the finest of Peak Supreme Treasures, and likely a very unique one at that."

Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, "Could it not be a component of an Ultimate Supreme Treasure?"

"Haha, a component?" Chaos City Lord couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Luo Feng, every Ultimate Supreme Treasure is perfect and indestructible. Even in the Three Great Absolute Lands of the Universe Ocean, they remain complete and indestructible. Therefore, throughout endless ages, whenever an Ultimate Supreme Treasure appears, it always appears complete. Unless the owner of an Ultimate Supreme Treasure actively disassembles some of its components, and only the easily detachable parts, how could an Ultimate Supreme Treasure's components separate? As for destruction? No one can achieve that."

Luo Feng nodded inwardly.

Ultimate Supreme Treasures, like the Star Tower, only have parts that can be temporarily disassembled, such as the Tower Pearl or Star Sealing. As for destruction, that's impossible.

"Senior Brother," Ice Peak Master interjected, "Your disciple not only made great contributions with the Silk Thread Map fragments, but he also suppressed Sirius Master, who possesses the Dream Ancestor Domain, in a one-on-one battle and seized the Flame Sand Cup."

"Flame Sand Cup?" Chaos City Lord's eyes lit up.

"By luck," Luo Feng said.

Chaos City Lord, however, looked at Luo Feng carefully, making Luo Feng himself feel a bit puzzled.

"It's not luck," Chaos City Lord said, staring at Luo Feng and gently shaking his head. "Luo Feng, I know you haven't truly stepped into the Universe Master level yet. Your divine power is slightly inferior to other Universe Masters, and two levels below Star River Master and myself. Yet you were able to suppress Sirius Master, who possesses the Dream Ancestor Domain, and seize the Flame Sand Cup..."

"Originally, to protect you, I wanted you to enter the Universe Ocean only after you had reached the Universe Master level."

"But now, it seems you can enter the Universe Ocean," Chaos City Lord said.

Luo Feng was startled.

Universe Ocean?

Enter the Universe Ocean?

"Senior Brother?" Ice Peak Master frowned.

Chaos City Lord shook his head at Ice Peak Master, then looked at Luo Feng and sighed, "The Universe Ocean is very dangerous, but some Top-tier Cosmic Overlords occasionally venture into it. Logically, with your strength, you can certainly enter. However, once you reach the Universe Master level, you will become another great pillar of our human race. To protect you, I originally wanted you to enter only after you had reached the Universe Master level. But seeing your performance this time, your strength is clearly much greater... you can absolutely enter the Universe Ocean now."

"Comparatively, the Original Universe is merely a cradle! It's a cradle that nurtures us, very peaceful, with a very low danger level."

"The Universe Ocean... that is the true battlefield."

"Many super beings, and even Universe Supreme Masters from before the Great Destruction, are all in the Universe Ocean," Chaos City Lord said, looking at Luo Feng. "There are more dangers there, especially in the deepest parts of the Three Great Absolute Lands, where even Universe Supreme Masters can perish."

Luo Feng held his breath.

"That is the true gathering place for powerhouses. A vast number of supreme treasures and precious items are born in the Universe Ocean," Chaos City Lord sighed. "Original Star only opens once every endless ages, and each time, the most precious item is only at the peak domain-type supreme treasure level. But in the depths of the Three Great Absolute Lands... it is said that in their deepest parts, there are quite a few Ultimate Supreme Treasures! And Peak Supreme Treasures are frighteningly numerous..."

"Of course, let alone the deepest parts, you absolutely cannot enter even some of the inner regions," Chaos City Lord stated. "For now, you can only occasionally venture into the outer regions."

"There, you will receive true tempering."

"Any powerhouse from before the Great Destruction Era is more ancient than the powerhouses of our Original Universe! Our Original Universe's powerhouses were all born after the Great Destruction... those ancient powerhouses are immensely powerful, and clashing with them will inspire many of your ideas, leading to faster improvements in your strength," Chaos City Lord praised.

Luo Feng nodded repeatedly.

Great Destruction?

The Original Universe's birth, evolution, operation, decay, and destruction... this was a cycle. A Great Destruction meant the annihilation of everything within the Original Universe! When the Original Universe once again gave birth to new races... that would be another new cycle. And some beings from before the Great Destruction naturally managed to escape it and preserve their lives.

"You go back and prepare first," Chaos City Lord said. "And send me all the contents of the Silk Thread Map fragments. I will forward them to Giant Axe Founder, and he and the Virtual Universe System will jointly appraise them. Afterwards, you will be informed... how many contribution points you two will receive."

Luo Feng nodded.

His contribution this time was significant, but Chaos City Lord clearly didn't have the authority to directly appraise it.

"Senior Brother, Luo Feng's merit this time is the greatest. If he hadn't informed us in advance, we wouldn't have known about the Yuan Ao Secret Region," Ice Peak Master quickly said. "Even my obtaining five Silk Thread Map fragments was with Luo Feng's help."

"If it weren't for Martial Uncle's own strength, even my help would have been useless," Luo Feng quickly replied.

"Don't worry."

"The race will not mistreat any great contributor," Chaos City Lord smiled. "Luo Feng, go back and prepare. The Universe Ocean... is not like the Original Universe, this cradle."

"Yes," Luo Feng responded.

"Universe Ocean!" Luo Feng muttered to himself, his eyes growing sharper, filled with anticipation.

...

The vast Universe Ocean, boundless and endless, to this day no Universe Supreme Master has ever discovered its limits. The Universe Ocean is permeated with endless chaotic currents, and within these chaotic currents, the Original Universe is the largest known celestial body! The Original Universe is already vast to an incredible degree.

Besides the Original Universe, there are also other Miniature Universes.

Other Miniature Universes are not even one-hundred-millionth the size of the Original Universe!

It's like an endless ocean compared to a single drop of water!

Billions of light-years away from the Original Universe, amidst the endless chaotic currents, lay a Miniature Universe.

Within the Miniature Universe.

"Hahaha... the trap has been set! Those naive fellows in the Original Universe didn't have the slightest suspicion; instead, they were all frantically snatching treasures. This time, I sacrificed Yuan Ao Master's soul slave. I didn't want to sacrifice him like this, but unfortunately, he couldn't escape. Haolei also threw in a Wondrous Divine Wood. Such a great cost, but it was worth it." A being, towering in height, his entire body seemingly forged from steel, with eyes like two burning fireballs, fireballs that were perhaps even more terrifying than billions of stars.

His endless power made the surrounding earth tremble.

"Don't celebrate too soon," a reptilian creature, whose body was covered in brown rocks like a towering mountain range, rumbled in a low voice. "The trap has only just been set; the true harvest will still take some time."

"Mm."

In mid-air, there was a massive Phantom Lightning Giant. At the center of its chest was a lightning-and-thunder orb, which glowed like a star, emitting endless lightning and thunder. The Phantom Lightning Giant rumbled, "This cosmic era is our last chance. If we fail to grasp even this final opportunity, the three of us... will surely perish! Without us, our race will also vanish forever."

Silence.

The three great beings remained silent for a long time.

"This trap has been set, we are fully prepared, and we have sacrificed a great deal. We must succeed in one fell swoop. For eternity, for our race, we must succeed," the Lightning Giant said slowly.

"For eternity, for our race," the reptilian mountain also said slowly.

"For eternity, for our race," the steel being also said slowly.

Their voices contained absolute conviction.
