Chapter 1256
Reclaiming the White Wings
Traveling from the Universe Boat to the Tilted Peak Sector was incredibly distant, yet through teleportation and natural wormholes, the time spent was less than a fraction of what it would take within the Universe Boat itself. Whoosh~~~ In the Tilted Peak Sector, endless waters surged and crashed, and above them, a walnut-sized scarlet pagoda floated. "We've reached the Tilted Peak Sector." Luo Feng, in his Golden Horned Beast form, looked down from within the Star Tower. "It's only been tens of thousands of years since I last came here. Just tens of thousands of years... these White Wings shouldn't have found a master yet." His own Shi Wu Wings had already birthed a spirit! The White Wings also possessed a spirit! If the two were to merge, only one of the Shi Wu and the 'Spirit of the White Wings' could survive. With Luo Feng's approval... it was undoubtedly Shi Wu that would endure, while the Spirit of the White Wings would be annihilated. That's why, when Luo Feng left last time, the Spirit of the White Wings had fallen into a frenzy, desperate to find a new master. "Who knows how many reincarnation eras have passed without it finding a master. It's only been tens of thousands of years; I refuse to believe that something so close to my grasp could still fly away!" Luo Feng grinned. Whoosh! The scarlet pagoda teleported directly into the waters, then continued to teleport repeatedly within them. The first time he came, he was cautious, but now, relying on the ultimate supreme treasure, Luo Feng brazenly teleported straight towards that deep, dark cavern. ...Following the deep, dark cavern, passing through nine layers of light screens, the scarlet pagoda directly entered the Wing Space. "Rumble~~~" Endless blade storms swept through the entire space. The scarlet pagoda, shrunk to the size of dust, rapidly approached the dazzling, massive light wings. It took nearly a month. Finally, it flew from the cavern entrance all the way to the massive light wings. "The White Wings." Golden Horn Luo Feng instantly saw the core of the endlessly vast light wings—a white wing, approximately a hundred meters tall, marked with scratches and bloodstains. The scarlet pagoda continuously drew closer. The will-based impact emanating from the 'bloodstains' on the White Wings felt to the current Luo Feng like small waves lapping at his feet, completely negligible. "Buzz~~~" A ripple emanated from the White Wings, passing through the Star Tower and directly reaching Luo Feng. "Starry Sky Behemoth!" an ancient voice resounded. "Who are you?" Inside the scarlet pagoda, the Golden Horned Beast 'shockedly' asked. "I am the Spirit of the Winged Supreme Treasure!" the ancient voice declared. The Golden Horned Beast exclaimed in shock, "Spirit of a Supreme Treasure? Then what about the will-based impact from before, and that blade-shaped storm just now?" The ancient voice continued speaking... Luo Feng, however, sneered inwardly. This time, to reclaim the White Wings and prevent any mishaps, the Mausoleum Boat had temporarily separated from the Star Tower upon reaching the outskirts of the Tilted Peak Sector. The Mausoleum Boat was concealed within the chaotic currents on the periphery of the Tilted Peak Sector, and Luo Feng's Earthling true body and Shi Wu Wings were both left there. Meanwhile, the Golden Horned Beast clone rode the Star Tower to reclaim the White Wings! Because— Luo Feng knew very well that once the two treasures merged, the Spirit of the White Wings would inevitably be annihilated. So, if the Spirit of the White Wings discovered Luo Feng's arrival... it would likely go mad before Luo Feng could even claim it as its master, possibly even attempting a 'mutual destruction' scenario. Although the White Wings were an object, not a living being, it shouldn't have many means to do so. But just in case, it was better to send the Golden Horned Beast! The White Wings only knew he was human, unaware he possessed a Golden Horned Beast clone. "Hmph, once I successfully claim it, it'll be too late for you to regret," Luo Feng thought to himself. ...The Golden Horned Beast feigned immense excitement at discovering a supreme treasure, haggling with the Spirit of the White Wings. The Spirit of the White Wings was clearly eager to find a master... so it didn't try to deceive the Golden Horned Beast as it had Luo Feng last time, but instead directly stated the conditions for claiming it. "My power surpasses your imagination!" "Precisely because I am exceedingly powerful, the conditions for claiming me are also stringent. A Universe Knight must possess the will of a Universe Overlord! As for a Universe Master... they must possess a will one level beyond a Universe Overlord. If you cannot meet these requirements, you can inform your clan and have a qualified expert come. I have been lonely for far too long; I truly wish to leave this place." The White Wings tried every means to entice the Golden Horned Beast. Luo Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Heavens. It was so agreeable now. When he first came, these White Wings were incredibly sinister. Now, under the threat of annihilation... it was rare to find an incoming life form, and it was even encouraging him to 'tell your clan'. "Roar~~~ Are you telling the truth?" "Naturally, it's true." "Roar~~~" The Golden Horned Beast appeared extremely excited, roaring loudly, "This is fantastic! The reason I could easily reach this place and resist that will-based impact is precisely because my will has reached the Universe Overlord level. And I am, in fact, a Universe Knight! I meet the conditions perfectly!" ...The Spirit of the White Wings was naturally overjoyed and thrilled. Its greatest fear was being reclaimed by Luo Feng, as that would mean its annihilation. Although its conversation with the Golden Horned Beast remained calm, guiding it step by step, in reality, the claiming process went very smoothly. "Yes, imprint your divine power onto the wings, and your life imprint below it, and you will have claimed me as your master." The White Wings were extremely cooperative; it was desperate to leave this Wing Space. It was even thinking of telling its new master later—that a certain human possessed the other components of this super supreme treasure. Then, it would have its new master use it to kill that human. Afterward... it would devour the spirit of the Shi Wu Wings! "I am the true spirit of the winged supreme treasure. That hateful fellow actually stole so much of the 'source' energy. It must be annihilated." The Spirit of the White Wings naturally harbored intense hatred for the Spirit of Shi Wu; this was instinctual. ..."Success!" the Golden Horned Beast growled. "Master, my wings are damaged. I need to devour some precious materials to repair them, or I can recover by devouring some pinnacle supreme treasures," the Spirit of the White Wings explained. Because the White Wings had been taken, the 'blade storm' within the entire Wing Space naturally vanished into thin air, making the entire Wing Space ordinary and its spatial structure stable, allowing for easy teleportation. "Whoosh!" With a single teleportation, the scarlet pagoda reached the entrance. "Finally, we're out! The legendary Universe Ocean..." The Spirit of the White Wings was filled with anticipation. ...However, as the scarlet pagoda teleported all the way out of the Tilted Peak Sector and entered the depths of the dense chaotic currents, a walnut-sized Mausoleum Boat easily approached, then was swiftly drawn inside. Inside the Star Tower. The Golden Horned Beast was coiled there. "I feel a summons, a powerful summons, Master. It's that human, the human who possesses the other components." The Spirit of the White Wings felt an incredibly strong pull and immediately began to warn, "I was originally an infinitely powerful supreme treasure, but after that great battle, I was broken apart. That human obtained the other components, and the sense of summons is very strong; he is nearby." Beside the coiled Golden Horned Beast, a walnut-sized Mausoleum Boat appeared, and a figure stepped out from it. He wore silver armor and silver wings, with a stone blade strapped to his back. "Spirit of the White Wings," Luo Feng said, looking at the White Wings on the Golden Horned Beast's back. "You..." The Spirit of the White Wings instantly understood. It could sense an absolute obedience; with just a single thought from this human... it would have no choice but to comply. "Ahhh, if I had known, I would have released all the 'source' energy rather than leave it for you, you hateful human!" The Spirit of the White Wings roared, understanding that it was doomed to be annihilated. "I was just afraid of mishaps, so I let you be happy for a while," Luo Feng said indifferently. "Alright, you can be annihilated now." In truth, Luo Feng could have annihilated the Spirit of the White Wings with a single thought, but to learn more, it was better to let the Shi Wu Wings devour it. "Merge!" Luo Feng commanded with his divine power. Whoosh~~~~ A pair of White Wings and the silver four wings simultaneously floated in mid-air, then began to fit together. Component after component interlocked and connected. Even the 'source' containing immense power was transferred from the previously damaged White Wings to the lowest pair of silver wings, as the silver wings were complete, at least preventing the 'source' energy from leaking. As they combined, waves of oppressive aura uncontrollably spread out. "What a powerful oppressive aura," Luo Feng gasped. "This mechanical-type treasure must have been used by an expert beyond the Universe Overlord level." As Luo Feng observed, the fitting of countless components and the restructuring of secret patterns were incredibly complex, seemingly lengthy, yet in reality, extremely brief. The oppressive aura receded. Six massive silver-white wings floated. The lower four wings were perfectly intact, while the edges of the uppermost wings were extremely sharp! Moreover, the wing edges contained numerous secret patterns, seemingly enhancing this sharpness. According to the 'Spirit of Shi Wu's' previous statement—the complete Shi Wu Wings consisted of six pairs. The other five pairs resembled the back and body of a blade, while the White Wings were akin to the blade's edge. Its sharpness was evident! "Come," Luo Feng thought, and the six-winged supreme treasure immediately flew over, swiftly merging into Luo Feng's back, its six wings unfurling. "Whoosh!" The six wings flashed! Without using any divine power, just a casual sweep instantly sliced open the space of the control room, with extreme ease. "Even without using the 'source,' it rivals a supreme treasure," Luo Feng praised. "If I were to unleash a move from my 'Nirvana Rebirth' with it, its power would probably only be second to my Blood Shadow Blade... and if I were to activate the 'source'...". "Unfortunately, the 'source' cannot be used for now." The 'source' was like an engine, also possessing energy storage capabilities. When an expert used the complete six pairs of wings, divine power would likely be infused into the 'source,' which would then convert it into sharper, more aggressive energy—blade storm-shaped energy! This energy could be stored within the 'source'... In actual combat, one could first utilize the stored energy, and then consume divine power for further conversion. However— The energy reserves within this 'source' belonged to its previous master, not Luo Feng. Luo Feng could infuse divine power into the 'source' to convert it into 'blade storm'-like energy, but its potency would be significantly lower! And if he were to activate it, he would have to force the previous master's energy to erupt! This was because two different levels of energy could not be stored in the same place. This forced eruption... would be a one-time burst! Luo Feng couldn't unleash ten percent, thirty percent... he simply couldn't. His only means of activation was to infuse divine power, forcing the previous master's energy to explode. With only this method of activation, it would naturally be a complete, one-time discharge. Of course, instantly unleashing all of it would result in terrifying destructive power! But since it was a one-time use, Luo Feng naturally dared not use the 'source' for now. He could only activate the 'Shi Wu Wings' with his divine power, making them function merely like a normal supreme treasure.
