Another Passage

“This is the most potent impact from the bloodstains on the wings,” Luo Feng communicated with the Shiwu Wings on his back. “Shiwu, can my current will power make that white wing acknowledge me as its master?” Shiwu would know best; after all, it was a part of that supreme treasure. “Still far from it!” “Master, your will power has strengthened considerably over these past twelve hundred years, already ranking among the peak Universe Masters. However, the leap from Universe Master to Universe Supreme Master is fundamental! And your will power will undergo an essential transformation. Master, you are still far from that threshold,” Shiwu stated without reservation. Luo Feng remained calm; after all, his gains this time had been substantial. Back then, even after hundreds of millions of years in the Beast God Sector, his improvement in will power couldn't compare to what he achieved in these past thousand-plus years. It must be admitted that ‘high-intensity pressure’ is indeed a method to temper one's will, but prolonged exposure to extreme pressure can also lead to collapse, damaging the will. It's a double-edged sword. Will power is unlike comprehension of laws. Comprehension of laws progresses step by step, but will power tests the strength of one's inner self! “I’ve been here for over a thousand years; it’s time to leave.” Luo Feng cast a deep glance at the white wing, then the Star Tower began to fly. He needed to continue tempering his will! The Universe Ocean held too many perilous places; just the Three Great Perilous Lands alone contained every conceivable treacherous environment: illusionary, will-impacting, and various natural powers like metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light… in short, all kinds. The Three Great Perilous Lands all contained numerous places suitable for tempering one's will. It all depended on whether one dared to venture there or not! “Human!” “I will make you regret this, and your Four-Winged Spirit will regret it too.” A wave of consciousness transmitted. “The next time I come, it will be the moment I claim you.” Luo Feng directly transmitted his consciousness. “Impossible, impossible! You dream!” Whoosh~~~ The Star Tower had already flown away, and Luo Feng no longer paid attention to the white wing. Just as countless powerhouses in the Primal Universe couldn't do anything to the Star Tower back then, Luo Feng truly couldn't do anything to the white wing now! Even if other Universe Supreme Masters came, they would likely be just as dumbfounded and forced to give up. “Next time,” Luo Feng murmured. “The Shiwu Wings have undergone earth-shattering changes; I wonder about their power,” Luo Feng mused. The aura released when the Shiwu Wings expanded to their maximum extent was definitely top-tier even among peak supreme treasures! He felt that it should be comparable to the Divine Wood of Wonders. This was Luo Feng's intuition. “Let’s test it!” “Golden Kingdom!” Luo Feng instantly burned his divine power to activate it. Silently~~~~ A hazy, very thin golden light instantly appeared, enveloping the entire mysterious space, even penetrating into some of the rock walls at its edges. The Golden Kingdom's maximum radius could reach 80 light-years, far exceeding the size of this wing space… naturally, it could completely cover it. However, the endless blade storm still raged, having already shattered space-time beyond recognition. Even the Golden Kingdom couldn't control the space-time here. Only the stable space around the white wing, and some spaces within the peripheral rocks, were fully under control. “Too, too powerful…” Luo Feng was stunned. He instantly felt that the 'Golden Kingdom' unleashed by the Shiwu Wings, now in their peak perfect state, was comparable to the combined power of 'Miniature Universe,' 'Golden Kingdom,' and 'Ocean of Flames' before he arrived. “This is…” Luo Feng was immensely surprised. One must know that his divine power was somewhat inferior to many Universe Masters, yet the 'Golden Kingdom' was this powerful. This truly might be a supreme treasure comparable to the Divine Wood of Wonders. “Hmm? Where is that—” Luo Feng paused. He no longer cared to marvel; instead, he was somewhat astonished. Because the Golden Kingdom enveloped the entire mysterious space, penetrating even into the peripheral rocks, he was shocked to discover that—besides the cavern passage Luo Feng had entered through earlier—there was actually another cavern passage in a different direction. “Another cavern passage? Where does it lead? Right, this white wing couldn't have just appeared out of thin air; it must have drifted here from somewhere.” Numerous thoughts flashed through Luo Feng’s mind. “Let’s go take a look.” Luo Feng immediately made his decision. Firstly, he worried that the other cavern passage might lead other powerhouses to this place. Secondly, he was curious. So, Luo Feng rode the Star Tower, flying rapidly, yet it still took over a month for the Star Tower to finally reach that cavern passage. “There’s also a light barrier.” It was a dark red cavern passage. The Star Tower directly pierced through that light barrier, entering a dark passage faintly glowing with streaks of dark red. The Star Tower continued to fly. It consecutively passed through nine layers of light barriers… and then there were no more. The Star Tower flew cautiously. “A dark red passage.” Inside the Star Tower, Luo Feng directed it to advance through this dark red passage, a million kilometers high and endlessly deep. He dared not venture out himself, instead sending his Demon Killer Clan clone to test it. Whoosh! The Demon Killer Clan clone exited the Star Tower and flew ahead of it. The Demon Killer Clan clone and the Star Tower flew one after another through the dark red passage, and Luo Feng also deployed the 'Golden Kingdom,' maintaining a range of only tens of billions of kilometers to guard against all dangers. “So hot.” As the Demon Killer Clan clone flew through the passage, it felt the surrounding air temperature was so scorching that it became incredibly uncomfortable. “The rock walls are dark red.” The Demon Killer Clan clone flashed, flew to the side of the rock wall, and reached out to touch the dark red rock wall of the cavern. “Hiss~~~” A strange thermal energy rapidly transmitted along the Demon Killer Clan clone's palm. Its arm seemed to melt like wax, quickly dripping away, and this thermal energy was rapidly spreading into its body. Startled, the Demon Killer Clan clone violently shook, directly shedding half of its body. Then, the life core once again surged with energy to condense its divine body. “I am, after all, a Universe Venerable divine body,” the Demon Killer Clan clone exclaimed, looking at the rock wall in surprise. “The strange thermal energy contained within the rock wall can incinerate me?” “Advance.” Luo Feng grew even more curious. The Demon Killer Clan clone and the Star Tower, one after another, maintained high-speed advancement, occasionally performing short-distance teleportations of a billion kilometers at a time. “Truly far. I’ve already advanced several light-years along this cavern passage,” Luo Feng marveled. Over a distance of several light-years, this cavern passage occasionally had forks. Luo Feng naturally chose the largest fork to proceed and memorized the map. One must know that the consciousness of super powerhouses processes information extremely quickly, making map memorization effortless. He continued to advance. “The wing space should be at the edge of the main peak of the Tilted Peak Sector. And now I’ve advanced several light-years in this direction… haven’t I entered the mountain’s interior?” Luo Feng mused. The Tilted Peak Sector’s main peak was majestic and mysterious, with numerous caverns leading to the outside. Supreme treasures often drifted through those passages into the waters… generally, many powerhouses dared not venture against the caverns into the mountain’s interior, as it was too dangerous. Luo Feng, however, relied on the Star Tower being a 'Sealing Palace-type Supreme True Treasure,' coupled with his curiosity about the white wing's origin, which was why he followed this cavern passage inward. After a long while… Through numerous forks, Luo Feng consistently chose the largest one to proceed. As he advanced, the temperature grew increasingly high, to the point where he had already retracted his Demon Killer Clan clone. This was because the external temperature was so scorching that it could directly incinerate the 'Demon Killer Clan clone' into ashes in the air. “Legend has it that the Tilted Peak Sector’s Inner Region is fraught with danger. Even the Chaos City Lord and others could perish there. In the Core Region, even Universe Supreme Masters could fall,” Luo Feng secretly thought with trepidation. “Here, even the external scorching temperature can incinerate a Universe Venerable. The mountain’s interior is indeed terrifying!” The Star Tower could block material attacks and guard the soul. A dual defense of material and soul. Only then did Luo Feng dare to take the risk. “What exactly lies at the end of this cavern?” Luo Feng wondered. After flying for over thirty light-years, he finally saw the distant end. At this moment, the Star Tower had flown into a vast, enormous place resembling a fiery lava cave. Rumbles~~~~ streams of white fiery magma rolled thunderously, hundreds of main channels of fiery magma crisscrossed, passing through this massive fiery lava cave, extending towards unknown ends. Those magma streams were all surrounded by red, cyan, and gray three-colored halos. And endless flames permeated the surrounding space. Yet, the surrounding space was eerily solidified, without the slightest fragmentation, nor any spatial fluctuations. Here… teleportation was impossible. “Hiss~~~” Luo Feng attempted to let a trace of divine power seep out of the Star Tower. It didn't even touch the flames; merely in the surrounding space, it was instantly incinerated and annihilated. “If a Universe Master didn't have armor protection, they would be annihilated in the surrounding air,” Luo Feng muttered to himself. “I drilled in reverse from the cavern of the mysterious space to get here. I don't know if this belongs to the Tilted Peak Sector’s Inner Region or its Core Region.” With a thought. The Star Tower slowly flew forward, touching a wisp of flame that had escaped into the surroundings. “Hiss~~~” The flame scorched the Star Tower. Inside the Star Tower, however, the temperature remained unchanged. “A Supreme True Treasure is indeed a Supreme True Treasure,” Luo Feng praised. This was also expected, as by common knowledge, Supreme True Treasures would not be damaged in the Three Great Perilous Lands! Although he had seen the previously damaged white wing… that was due to a battle of epic proportions. “What a massive cavern.” Luo Feng dared not blindly venture along those fiery magma streams, as going further into the unknown might make it difficult to turn back. Luo Feng rode the Star Tower, flying through this fiery cavern. The Star Tower didn't even enter the magma streams; occasionally, surging magma would splash out and touch the Star Tower, but nothing happened. “The cavern's stone pillars, which remain undamaged under such flames and magma streams, are also quite peculiar,” Luo Feng observed carefully. He noticed that those stone pillars, which seemed ordinary at first glance, upon closer inspection, appeared as if every grain of sand on them could refract light, faintly resembling numerous spaces. Whoosh~~~ The Star Tower suddenly vanished before a stone pillar, then instantly reappeared outside. “Space?” “Every grain of sand contains a space?” Luo Feng was startled just now. The Star Tower had merely touched a grain of sand and then entirely entered the space within it. That desolate, void-like space—Luo Feng, having comprehended the entire law of space, easily brought the Star Tower out again. “Each stone pillar is likely composed of countless grains of sand, and each grain contains a space? What kind of stone pillars are these? Why do I have no information on them? Could it be that this place is an extremely perilous region within the Tilted Peak Sector, and no powerhouses from my Human Race have ever reached it?” Luo Feng wondered to himself. There was no record of such stone pillars within the Human Race. “Hmm?” Soon, Luo Feng was drawn to another stone pillar not far away. “What is that…”
