Outer Region of the Tilted Peak Sector

"Across the three cosmic reincarnation eras, dozens of forces emerged, totaling nearly a hundred. Among these hundred forces... not a single one could compare to the two Holy Lands." Chaos City Lord stood in the void, sighing, "Each of the two Holy Lands is incredibly powerful.

"One-on-one, no single force can stand against them.

"Of course, if we consider an entire cosmic reincarnation era, even our original universe, the weakest among them, is stronger than any single Holy Land. I estimate that only the combined might of both Holy Lands could rival our original universe," Chaos City Lord stated.

Luo Feng couldn't help but be shocked.

The power of the entire original universe?

There were over a dozen Universe Supreme Masters! The Hong Alliance alone had more than 30 Universe Masters, along with nine super forces and twelve top-tier forces... These top-tier forces might lack Universe Supreme Masters, but they were formidable at the Universe Master level. Adding in various reclusive or missing lone Universe Masters, the entire original universe likely harbored nearly a thousand Universe Masters!

Over a dozen Universe Supreme Masters, nearly a thousand Universe Masters!

And the two Holy Lands combined could rival that?

"Don't be so surprised.

"While the combined number of Universe Masters in the two Holy Lands might not match our original universe, these Holy Lands have existed for countless cycles," Chaos City Lord mused. "They might be fewer in quantity, but their quality... is exceptionally high! At the very least, all who venture out from them have comprehended the strongest secret techniques."

Luo Feng gasped.

The strongest secret techniques?

Everyone who ventures out knows them?

"This contains records from the original universe, the second cosmic era before the Great Cataclysm, the first cosmic era, and the powerhouses of the two Holy Lands," Chaos City Lord said solemnly, flipping his hand to produce a transparent crystal orb shimmering with faint golden light. "These are extremely high-level intelligence files, collected by our human faction over countless eons. Some even involve highly confidential events. Even though our original universe forces exchange information, certain top secrets are withheld. Destroy it after you've read it."

"Understood."

Luo Feng nodded, understanding that Chaos City Lord's purpose in bringing him to the Universe Ocean was to gradually impart this information during their journey. If Luo Feng had simply received a massive amount of data in the original universe, he might not have been sufficiently wary. But here, in the Universe Ocean, having witnessed shattered universes and experienced profound shock, he would naturally attach greater importance to these revelations.

Holding the transparent crystal orb, a wisp of Luo Feng's divine power directly permeated it.

Immediately, countless pieces of information flooded his mind...

...

Within this collapsing universe, where divine corpses drifted in the distance, Chaos City Lord watched Luo Feng as he absorbed the information.

"This, this..." Luo Feng opened his eyes and looked at Chaos City Lord.

"Feeling the pressure?" Chaos City Lord chuckled.

"Yes," Luo Feng nodded repeatedly.

After reviewing the confidential information, Luo Feng was overcome by an immense sense of crisis. He was too weak; his original universe faction was the weakest! His divine power was a disadvantage. While his 'Micro-Universe,' 'God-Slaying Wings,' and 'Flame Sand Cup' made him quite formidable in the original universe, he was clearly lagging behind in the Universe Ocean.

Take the two Holy Lands, for example.

Their divine power was undoubtedly far superior to Luo Feng's, and each of them had comprehended the strongest secret techniques. Even with his 'Micro-Universe,' 'God-Slaying Wings,' and 'Flame Sand Cup,' Luo Feng would be at the absolute bottom compared to the two Holy Lands.

"I originally intended for you to come here after becoming a Universe Master, but while you might not be able to contend, you are certainly capable of self-preservation," Chaos City Lord said. "More tempering will also aid your breakthrough to Universe Master."

Luo Feng nodded.

"Let's go." Chaos City Lord took Luo Feng, and with a whoosh, they teleported away from the collapsing mini-universe, continuing their journey.

...

High-frequency, continuous teleportation, occasionally utilizing natural wormholes.

On Luo Feng's sixth day in the Universe Ocean.

Amidst the endless chaotic currents...

"Ahead lies the dangerous region, 'Quaking Sand River'," Chaos City Lord pointed into the distance. "While this Quaking Sand River is far from comparable to the three forbidden lands, for you, venturing in rashly still carries the risk of demise. Even I must explore it cautiously; daring to teleport recklessly within the Quaking Sand River could lead to my downfall."

Luo Feng nodded.

The Universe Ocean map he had received earlier indeed described numerous dangerous regions, and the Quaking Sand River was a relatively common one.

"In the Universe Ocean, our human race knows of over 3,000 dangerous regions, and this number is gradually increasing with time," Chaos City Lord chuckled. "The Universe Ocean is simply too vast. The two Holy Lands likely know of even more dangerous places, but they won't tell us."

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day in the Universe Ocean.

"Soon, we'll see one of the three forbidden lands, the 'Tilted Peak Sector'," Chaos City Lord said. "Compared to the Tilted Peak Sector, other dangerous regions simply can't compare." Chaos City Lord, with Luo Feng, finally stopped after another teleportation.

Luo Feng and Chaos City Lord stood side-by-side in the void, gazing into the distant front.

"Whoa." Luo Feng's pupils contracted.

It was breathtakingly beautiful.

Looking into the distance...

A majestic mountain stood in the distance, its peak having fallen onto its own mid-slope, as if an entity of boundless power had sliced through the mountain with a single strike, causing the summit to tumble down. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~" Endless colossal waterfalls cascaded down the smooth main mountain, crashing onto the lower slopes, their waters spreading out and submerging a significant portion of the fallen peak.

Concurrently, countless shattered rocks continuously orbited the mountain.

"That is the Tilted Peak Sector," Chaos City Lord explained. "Tilted Peak... the peak of a mountain that has tilted and fallen."

"Look, those shattered rocks seem small, don't they?"

Chaos City Lord pointed at the countless shattered rocks orbiting the colossal mountain, chuckling, "We're over a hundred million light-years away from it right now. Those seemingly 'small' rocks, how large do you think they actually are?"

Luo Feng was stunned.

The Universe Ocean map he had received provided a fairly detailed description of the Tilted Peak Sector, stating, for instance, that its main mountain was approximately 98.02 million light-years tall, and the severed peak had a maximum diameter of 12.26 million light-years.

The area outside the mountain body was the Outer Region, with a lower degree of danger, though some perilous spots could still lead to the demise of Universe Masters with weaker self-preservation abilities.

Inside the mountain body was the Inner Region, extremely dangerous, where even the most powerful Universe Masters could perish.

And the core of the mountain body... even Universe Supreme Masters could fall!

"Rocks?" Luo Feng muttered. "The map didn't describe the size of those rocks, but the main mountain is about 98.02 million light-years tall. Judging by the scale of those shattered rocks..." Luo Feng estimated with a glance.

"They must be measured in light-years too, I guess."

Luo Feng was deeply shaken.

At least within the original universe, it was impossible for a mountain to be nearly a hundred million light-years tall, or for a single rock to be measured in light-years... Such phenomena could only occur in the 'Universe Ocean,' which birthed the original universe.

"Let's go, we're still far from it; we'll need to teleport for a while longer," Chaos City Lord chuckled.

...

A moment later, Luo Feng and Chaos City Lord entered the Outer Region of the Tilted Peak Sector.

Whoosh~~~ Whoosh~~~~

Colossal mountain-sized rocks, almost boundless in height, flew at high speeds. What had appeared as mere pebbles from a hundred million light-years away now seemed almost infinite in size, maintaining velocities several times the speed of light (the maximum speed in the Universe Ocean was not the same as the speed of light in the original universe).

"Look, that's a powerhouse from the Jiu Clan, one of the peak races of the First Cosmic Era," Chaos City Lord pointed into the distance. It was a blood-red, bird-like alien beast with massive scaled wings, which glanced their way.

"Chaos City Lord!"

A flicker of apprehension crossed the bird-like alien beast's single eye, and then it instantly teleported away.

"The Jiu Clan..." Luo Feng mused. The races nurtured in the two cosmic reincarnation eras before the Great Cataclysm were different from those in the current original universe. The Jiu Clan had once existed in the current original universe but was annihilated. However, in the First Cosmic Reincarnation Era, they had evolved into a peak race!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Continuous teleportations...

After a long while.

After traversing countless celestial mountain-rocks flying at several times the speed of light, they finally landed on one such celestial mountain-rock with a maximum diameter of approximately 8.2 light-years.

"The Outer Region of the Tilted Peak Sector is filled with countless celestial mountain-rocks, constantly flying at super-high speeds," Chaos City Lord said, standing on the surface of the celestial mountain-rock and gazing at the surrounding void. "However, once you're on one of these celestial mountain-rocks, you'll find... that all other mountain-rocks appear relatively stationary."

Luo Feng nodded.

Indeed.

The mountain-rocks closer to the main peak flew slower, while those further away flew faster. This created an illusion where the relative distances between the countless shattered rocks remained eternally constant.

"Giant Axe Creator is currently within the Tilted Peak Sector," Chaos City Lord chuckled. "Therefore, the powerhouses of our human race in the Universe Ocean are mainly concentrated here in the Tilted Peak Sector."

"No wonder Giant Axe Creator didn't discover the Yuan Ao Secret Realm earlier; he was here," Luo Feng realized.

"This celestial mountain-rock serves as our human race's temporary gathering point here," Chaos City Lord said. "Naturally, Universe Masters from other Hong Alliance races also gather here. Follow me."

He then teleported Luo Feng a short distance.

Whoosh!

They arrived at another location, three light-years away from the celestial mountain-rock. A casual crevice on the mountain-rock's surface was over a million kilometers deep. Within this canyon stood a divine temple, outside of which two figures were casually conversing. Suddenly seeing Luo Feng and Chaos City Lord approach, they immediately spoke: "Chaos."

"Chaos, you're here, and you brought Luo Feng?"

As soon as Luo Feng landed in the canyon, he sensed a total of five Universe Masters both inside and outside the divine temple. He had seen all of them in the Virtual Universe, which perfectly simulated their auras, allowing him to clearly identify them now... Among the five Universe Masters, three were from the human race, and two were from non-human races within the Hong Alliance.

"Chaos."

"Chaos."

Three more figures emerged from within the divine temple, all coming to greet them, clearly indicating Chaos City Lord's extremely high status.

"Galaxy Lord, welcome to the Tilted Peak Sector." A friendly laugh rang out, revealing it to be the Ghost Marquis Master, whom Luo Feng recognized.
