The Strongest Descends

The semi-finished Mad Demon Annihilation God Armor floated in the core control room of the Star Tower, emitting a faint black glow. The armor was jet black, with only the right claw appearing golden. Numerous ancient messages flooded Luo Feng's mind. Though he didn't understand the script, he grasped their meaning. "So this is the Mad Demon Annihilation God Armor," Luo Feng exclaimed, his eyes lighting up with joy. "As expected, it's a treasure second only to the most supreme treasures. Incredible, truly incredible, and exactly what I need most right now." The information transmitted earlier contained most of the data regarding the Mad Demon Annihilation God Armor.

The Mad Demon Annihilation God Armor possessed several functions. As armor, its defensive capabilities were naturally formidable. It influenced the soul and will, and its special material could weaken even soul attacks to one percent of their original power! Its defense against material attacks was even stronger, capable of reducing them to one hundred-thousandth! These two points alone made it incredibly valuable, even more precious than the Calamity Armor.

Furthermore, it was composed of 8,999,999 scales. These nearly nine million scales could coalesce into various forms, usable as 'psychic weapons.' For instance, Wu Hun used it to form his five beast gods. This pertained to its ranged attack capabilities. Additionally, for close combat, its right claw was its most potent attack point.

Beyond defense, ranged attacks, and close combat, the Mad Demon Annihilation God Armor had a very unique ability. It was named 'Mad Demon' because as the user's consciousness and will became increasingly attuned to it, the user would also grow more frenzied. To a certain extent, during battle, they might forget everything, knowing only to fight like a mad demon. This 'mad demon state' would also generate a strong will impact, though its power wasn't significant and held little practical use.

"What an evil Mad Demon Annihilation God Armor," Luo Feng murmured, looking up at the armor suspended in mid-air. With a whoosh, the Mad Demon Annihilation God Armor transformed into a black streak, swiftly flying into Luo Feng's body. Immediately, black scales began to emerge on the surface of his divine body. As for his previous Calamity Armor, Luo Feng had temporarily put it away.

"Mad Demon? Frenzied?" Luo Feng frowned. Evil, dangerous! Becoming a mad demon was not a good thing. According to the information he received, once in the mad demon state, influenced by the armor, one might forget everything and only know how to fight wildly. This was a very dangerous state, as even in a desperate struggle, one still needed to calmly assess the situation deep down.

"No wonder Wu Hun was never heard using a will impact," Luo Feng mused. "It truly is a useless feature." "Fortunately, its close combat, ranged attack, and defense are all incredibly powerful, especially the close combat right claw!" Luo Feng secretly anticipated. The entire Mad Demon Annihilation God Armor had numerous different types of secret patterns carved into it: patterns specifically for 'material defense,' combination patterns, and even triple secret patterns specifically on the golden right claw. However, it was clear that many of these patterns were somewhat incomplete, indicating missing components.

"The secret patterns for defense and combination aren't difficult," Luo Feng, with his profound understanding of secret pattern diagrams, quickly judged. "The most intricate are the secret patterns imbued in that golden right claw. They feel comparable to the Shi Wu Wings, but clearly a notch below the Star Tower." "Keep searching."

Luo Feng couldn't spare time to study the secret patterns. "I'm afraid I won't be able to comprehend these secret patterns in a short time, and the God-Eye Clan's Universe Supreme Masters are likely on their way. Given their speed, I believe they'll arrive soon. I must hurry and collect all the scales before they do."

Time flowed, and another half month passed in a blink. Luo Feng had spent a considerable amount of time traveling from outside the Universe Boat to the abyss. However, the Third True Master and Sixth True Master were incredibly arrogant, charging straight ahead at astonishing speeds.

"Ahead is the Frozen Lake Thunderfire. Directly above the Frozen Lake Thunderfire is the abyss. According to our reference points, if we charge straight up, we'll reach the Ninth Abyss. In such a short time, even if someone is searching for treasures within the Ninth Abyss, they probably haven't left yet. The abyss is vast, and most areas cannot be explored by domain, only by sight and sensing. It would take a long time to search it thoroughly. With our Universe Supreme Master sensing abilities, he won't be able to escape."

"Let's go." Whoosh! Whoosh! Both rode peak palace-type supreme treasures, transforming into two streaks of light, tearing through space. The operating laws receded, and their speed soared: 500 times light speed, 1000 times light speed... They quickly passed through the Frozen Lake Thunderfire and saw the enormous, endless black hole of the abyss above. Their speed sharply decreased! Even Universe Supreme Masters dared not rush into the abyss at super-high speeds. After all, the abyss itself had incredibly powerful suction, and coupled with their own super-high speed, it could potentially cause even a peak supreme treasure palace to fail. They had to sharply reduce their speed, stop, and then slowly enter, following the suction force. Universe Masters riding peak palace-type supreme treasures couldn't survive here. But Universe Supreme Masters were different! They could utilize peak palace-type supreme treasures to exert even greater power, allowing them to traverse the abyss.

"Into the abyss." "I want to see who dares to seize my God-Eye Clan's supreme treasures. Hmph, the Annihilation God Armor and the Shi Wu Wings, these two items will definitely belong to my God-Eye Clan!" "Our lifespan is nearing its end; this is the perfect time to establish our might. No matter which Universe Supreme Master it is, you can only blame your bad luck." The two Universe Supreme Masters, brimming with killing intent, flew directly into the abyss. Even as Universe Supreme Masters, they were prepared for a fight! It was known that the God-Eye Clan had obtained ancient secret patterns from the three绝地, and after careful study, the seven True Masters had comprehended many profound mysteries, even developing methods for mutual cooperation. In the entire Universe Ocean, apart from the Original Ancestor, they truly feared no one.

At this moment, deep within the Ninth Abyss. "Where is it? Exactly where is it?" Luo Feng, riding his blood-colored pyramid, flew through the Ninth Abyss, extremely anxious. "Where are these last few scales?" The Mad Demon Annihilation God Armor had 8,999,999 scales. When he was searching, he feared that some scales might have fallen into distant, unknown places and become unfindable! And now, it had indeed come to pass. He had already collected a full 8,999,993 scales, with only the last six remaining unfound.

"Even one missing scale is unacceptable; the Mad Demon Annihilation God Armor would be incomplete," Luo Feng worried. He couldn't find them by summoning sense. "No summoning sense means the scales are quite far from here." Luo Feng closed his eyes, and a map appeared in his mind. This was a distribution map of the massive number of scales he had collected. Through this map, he began to deduce. "I can infer that the last six scales are likely in nine possible areas, all located at different edges of the distribution map..."

Luo Feng quickly planned his route. Whoosh! The blood-colored pyramid immediately flew at high speed along the route, beginning its search for the last six scales. In terms of summoning sense, the Mad Demon Annihilation God Armor clearly couldn't compare to the Shi Wu Wings. The Shi Wu Wings could be strongly sensed even across light-years. However, the Mad Demon Annihilation God Armor's maximum sensing distance was far less than half a light-year. This also showed that there was indeed some disparity between the two supreme treasures.

"The Shi Wu Wings are so powerful with just two pieces; how terrifying would they be with all six pairs?" Luo Feng mused.

... "I've found a supreme treasure fragment. It's estimated that the supreme treasures left behind after Luo Feng and Wu Hun's demise flew in this direction."

"Search carefully."

The Third True Master and Sixth True Master had been in the abyss for a full eight days. Following the 'suction force,' they quickly arrived at the approximate area and finally discovered a supreme treasure fragment. This made them realize that other supreme treasure fragments, Mad Demon Annihilation God Armor scales, and so on, should not be far from here.

... Luo Feng flew along the edges of the previously collected scale distribution map, not daring to recklessly use his 'Golden Kingdom.' According to his estimations, the Universe Supreme Masters were likely to enter the Ninth Abyss around this time. If he released his Golden Kingdom, wouldn't he become a target? The blood-colored pyramid, like a speck of dust, flew at high speed, while Luo Feng, clad in the black Mad Demon Annihilation God Armor, searched using his summoning sense.

"Only two pieces left!" "Nine days have passed, and I've found four scales. Only the last two remain." Luo Feng felt a subtle sense of crisis. He had a premonition that the Universe Supreme Masters might appear at any moment. "The last two pieces, and out of the nine previously possible areas, I still have three left to search." "The abyss is vast. My route consistently follows areas that cannot be explored by domain. If they want to find me, they can only rely on their eyes." "I believe they won't find me in a short time." "The last three areas are all quite remote. I estimate it will take half a month to search them all," Luo Feng silently hoped. "Half a month, at most half a month to search them. I must find the last two scales to form the complete Mad Demon Annihilation God Armor."

... As the Third True Master and Sixth True Master continued their search, they gradually moved towards the scale distribution area.

... Three more days passed.

Luo Feng suppressed his anxiety, controlling the Star Tower to fly along the planned path. "Earlier, in the core of the magma sea vortex, my speed surpassed the control of operating laws, incredibly fast. Universe Supreme Masters, when truly fighting all out, also possess such methods." Luo Feng forced himself to remain calm and sensed carefully, ready to hide immediately if any unusually powerful fluctuations appeared.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng frowned, flipping his hand to reveal a token. This was a token given to him by his Master Zuoshankez, allowing them to communicate through it.

"Luo Feng," Zuoshankez's voice came through.

"Master," Luo Feng replied.

"Where are you now?" Zuoshankez asked.

"I'm still in the Ninth Abyss," Luo Feng said.

"Not that. I'm asking, where in the Ninth Abyss are you? I'm already inside the Ninth Abyss, and I've reached the depths by following the suction force. I saw the Third True Master and Sixth True Master earlier, but they didn't notice me. Tell me your location..." Zuoshankez's message left Luo Feng stunned for a moment. Master? Master came? This...

"Master, you..." Luo Feng was truly bewildered.

"If I didn't come, even if you became a Universe Master and used the Star Tower, you probably wouldn't be able to escape against that suction force. Do you want to stay in this abyss forever?" Zuoshankez said. "Master!" A warmth surged through Luo Feng's heart. At this critical moment, Master Zuoshankez had arrived. The Zuoshankez who had once said he wouldn't care about Luo Feng's life or death, who had spoken harshly, was now directly here. This filled Luo Feng with gratitude, a gratitude he buried deep in his heart, remembering it firmly. "Master, I am currently at..."

Luo Feng described some dangerous landmarks around him in detail, so his Master would understand his position. "I'm coming now," Zuoshankez said.
