The Pinnacle of the Universe's Foremost

Within the human territory, Earth.

Luo Feng, using the God Kingdom teleportation, swiftly arrived on Earth. Although Zuo Shan Ke had come to the human territory, he did not go to the Primal Secret Region. After all, the Primal Secret Region was heavily guarded at the moment, and a large group of Universe Masters had gathered there… Even Zuo Shan Ke couldn't sneak in unnoticed.

Yangzhou City, the Luo Clan Manor.

Luo Feng appeared out of thin air inside his own residence. Currently, only a few guards were stationed within the Luo Clan Manor. As for the main Luo clan members, they had long since departed for the Primal Universe.

“Teacher?” Luo Feng abruptly turned his head, looking northeast. He sensed a faint aura emanating from that direction. Immediately, Luo Feng walked over. Although there were guards within the residence, when Luo Feng passed by them, they couldn't see or perceive him at all.

A moment later.

Luo Feng entered a large, fragrant garden filled with birdsong. This was where the clan members of the Luo Clan Manor typically enjoyed the scenery. It was planted with many precious flowers from across the cosmos, vibrant in color and varied in shape, exquisitely beautiful. There were also various birds and other lovely animals flying about.

And there was Zuo Shan Ke, bent over, playfully teasing a small bird with blue-purple feathers.

“Teacher,” Luo Feng called out as he approached.

“Your garden is quite nice,” Zuo Shan Ke said, still bent over and teasing the bird. “It must have been designed by a true master. It’s comfortable… It seems having power makes all the difference. Without even needing to give orders, countless talented beings will serve you. But I wander alone, without any power… It seems I, too, need to find a faction and become an alliance leader or something.”

Luo Feng chuckled, “If Teacher were to join the Hong Alliance, your status…”

“What, you want me to be the Hong Alliance Leader?” Zuo Shan Ke looked at Luo Feng, teasingly. “Are you humans willing to revere me?”

Luo Feng gave an awkward smile.

How could that be?

The human race was a pinnacle race. No pinnacle race would ever be led by a Universe's Foremost from an alien race. Their inherent pride… would absolutely not allow humans to do such a thing! At most, Zuo Shan Ke's status would be ranked among the highest First-tier, but many true powers would definitely not be entrusted to him.

“Even if you offered it, I wouldn’t take it,” Zuo Shan Ke shook his head. “Right now, your human race is in turmoil, a target of many. Those who wish to deal with you humans are countless across the Primal Universe. For me to join the Hong Alliance at this time… Am I a fool?”

“Teacher,” Luo Feng said with a serious expression. “You are right. Our human race is indeed in turmoil and a target of many, and we urgently need external help. I wonder if there’s any possibility… for Teacher to join our human faction?”

Zuo Shan Ke turned and walked to a dark green stone chair nearby, sitting down directly. His voice was clear: “Luo Feng, I told you before that you must forge your own path as a strong individual. I can’t help you much. Like last time, when you were trapped in the Ninth Abyss, because you might have been stuck for an unknown period, I lent you a hand. Of course, that was merely helping you… As for the human race, what concern is it of mine?”

“Whether the human race rises or falls, I couldn’t care less. With your current strength, you are no longer in danger in the Primal Universe, let alone having the Star Tower and Tomb Mausoleum Boat with you… It would be difficult for you to die. Thus, I have even less reason to interfere,” Zuo Shan Ke said.

Luo Feng was stunned.

The refusal was too explicit. Luo Feng had thought there might be hope, with Teacher Zuo Shan Ke coming here.

“Teacher…” Luo Feng had just opened his mouth.

“No need to say more. I will not join your human faction, nor will I get involved in this muddy water,” Zuo Shan Ke stated directly. “There’s nothing else to discuss.”

Luo Feng felt helpless.

“My reason for coming this time,” Zuo Shan Ke looked at Luo Feng, “is because you messaged me last time, mentioning that you obtained a drop of divine blood! It should be the divine blood of an ancient civilization’s powerful being… possessing an extremely potent will impact. You wanted me to help you refine a supreme treasure?”

Luo Feng nodded repeatedly: “Yes, the will impact of this drop of divine blood spreads out in all directions. I want to bind the divine blood’s will impact to a single direction! This way, the will impact will definitely become significantly stronger by a level. I wonder if Teacher can achieve this?”

“I promised you before that each time you kill a Universe Master, I would agree to help you refine a supreme treasure,” Zuo Shan Ke chuckled. “This time, I heard that during the battle between your humans and the demon race, you killed a demon race Universe Master, so I came.”

Luo Feng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Heavens.

Teacher was actually still holding onto that promise. It seemed Teacher had returned to the Primal Universe long ago but simply didn’t come. He waited until the news spread, knowing his disciple had killed a Universe Master, before finally arriving late.

“First, bring the divine blood for me to see,” Zuo Shan Ke said.

“Yes, but let’s enter the spatial rift first. That will is too strong; we need to prevent it from harming Earthlings,” Luo Feng said. If a single drop of divine blood were brought out, it was feared that all humans on Earth would instantly perish. After all, it was a will that caused even Universe Masters immense pain; how could ordinary humans withstand it?

“Alright.” Zuo Shan Ke flickered, and a spatial crack appeared beside him. He had already entered it.

Luo Feng also stepped into the spatial crack.

...

Inside the spatial rift.

Vast and mighty, with countless spatial fragments.

Luo Feng and Zuo Shan Ke appeared one after another.

“Teacher, please see.” Luo Feng flipped his hand, and immediately a Tomb Mausoleum Boat appeared out of thin air in his palm. It then gradually grew, transforming into a small boat about ten meters long. And that drop of divine blood slowly emerged from within the Tomb Mausoleum Boat, appearing on its top surface, supported by the boat.

This was a drop of crystalline red blood, its surface encircled by layers of dense black light.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Waves of powerful will impact surged out in all directions. Luo Feng and Zuo Shan Ke, who were nearby, naturally felt the impact. However, Luo Feng could easily withstand this impact, let alone Zuo Shan Ke.

“Divine blood?” Zuo Shan Ke nodded in admiration. “Such a wondrous item is extremely rare. To think you could obtain it.”

“Luck,” Luo Feng quickly said.

“To have luck, one must also have strength. Otherwise, if your will isn’t strong enough, you wouldn’t even be able to approach this divine blood. And from what I see, ordinary treasures cannot bear this divine blood, nor can ordinary divine power approach it,” Zuo Shan Ke chuckled. “Merely collecting this divine blood would be enough to leave many powerful beings helpless.”

Luo Feng immediately felt admiration. He was too formidable.

He hadn’t even studied it closely yet, and he had already stated so much.

“Teacher, do you have a method?” Luo Feng quickly asked.

“You want to use this divine blood to refine a supreme treasure, binding its will impact,” Zuo Shan Ke nodded slightly. “Actually, if enough materials and time were expended, I would have a certain possibility of refining an ultimate supreme treasure with it. Of course, that would take a very long time… and there’s also a high chance of failure.”

“Ultimate supreme treasure?” Although Luo Feng was surprised, he quickly said, “I only need a supreme treasure for will impact.”

“Indeed,” Zuo Shan Ke said. “For your human race, a wondrous treasure that can sweep through all powerful beings ‘below the will of a Universe's Foremost’ with its will impact is more useful in this war than an ultimate supreme treasure. The core of such a supreme treasure… is essentially the divine blood itself! All I need to do is bind this will, which is much easier than refining pinnacle supreme treasures and the like. It won’t be difficult for me to refine, the cost will be small, and it will take little time; I can succeed within three days. As for the materials? The materials aren’t particularly precious; I have plenty. This time, I, your Teacher, will provide them for you.”

Luo Feng was immediately overjoyed and quickly said, “Teacher, I have two drops of divine blood here. I wonder if Teacher can refine both for me…”

“Two drops?” Zuo Shan Ke was startled.

Luo Feng gave an embarrassed smile.

Ever since returning with the white wings, he had used his extremely high contribution points to exchange for a large quantity of precious materials for refining supreme treasures, which he then fed to the white wings! As the white wings devoured numerous materials, some of its damaged injuries recovered. During this recovery process, it also expelled another pool of bloodstains, which, after being expelled, condensed into another drop of divine blood.

Now, he possessed a total of two drops of divine blood.

Previously, during the war with the demon race, the Tomb Mausoleum Boat carried one drop of divine blood, and the Star Tower also carried one drop of divine blood.

“Dream on,” Zuo Shan Ke shook his head repeatedly. “I said I would help you refine one supreme treasure each time you kill a Universe Master. This is your first time… The materials aren’t precious, so I, your Teacher, will provide them. But you want me to refine two? Wait until you kill another Universe Master.”

“Teacher,” Luo Feng quickly said, “In the battle against the demon race, I killed one on the spot, and I also used the Tomb Mausoleum Boat to collect three others! Those three are also dead now… Shouldn’t that count as me killing them?”

“Dead? They died in the Primal Universe, didn’t they?” Zuo Shan Ke shook his head repeatedly. “No, no, that doesn’t count. That was killing them by suppressing them with the Primal Universe’s origin. It doesn’t count as you killing them.”

Luo Feng was speechless.

“Alright, just this one supreme treasure. Anything else is useless. If you talk any more nonsense, I won’t even help you with this one,” Zuo Shan Ke stated directly.

Luo Feng could only lower his head and agree.

Zuo Shan Ke then took out his azure mountain peak. The divine blood dripped onto the azure mountain peak and was quickly guided inside to be contained.

“In three days, I will give you the supreme treasure,” Zuo Shan Ke said directly, and then prepared to leave.

“Teacher,” Luo Feng quickly said, “Your disciple has obtained the Duan Dong River legacy. Teacher, you…”

“Hmph, the Duan Dong River legacy?” Zuo Shan Ke turned and gave Luo Feng a teasing look. “What, under the will of the origin, can you see how to transcend reincarnation?”

Luo Feng was startled: “No.”

“If not, then it’s useless!” Zuo Shan Ke shook his head. “In terms of refining supreme treasures, looking across the Universe Ocean, I dare say I am the first. Unless it’s information about transcending reincarnation, it’s completely useless to me! I am now just one step away… how to break through that step…”

Luo Feng blinked.

Damn.

He had originally intended to tell Teacher some information about the Universe's Foremost from the Duan Dong River legacy, but he hadn’t expected Zuo Shan Ke to dismiss it with disdain.

“When you reach my level, you’ll understand that at this final step, so-called experience and information are useless,” Zuo Shan Ke sighed. “Just like your Teacher, the Chaos City Lord, he’s probably stuck at the last step. Only by breaking through can one become a Universe's Foremost. At this point, the cultivation experiences you’ve gained are useless to him too. Cultivation experience is only useful for those who haven’t cultivated to their limit, or for powerful beings who have reached their limit but don’t know the path forward. For me, it’s useless.”

“Furthermore…”

“Although it’s useless to me, in the Primal Universe, I’m afraid no other existing being has reached the limit of a Universe's Foremost. Even the fallen Giant Axe, though very strong, didn’t reach the limit of a Universe's Foremost. Only the Original Ancestor, back then, reached that limit. If he hadn’t been suppressed, perhaps he could have transcended reincarnation by now,” Zuo Shan Ke stared at Luo Feng solemnly. “Those lone Universe's Foremost, each of them yearns to transcend reincarnation. Therefore, you must be careful and wary of them. Even the Old Beast God and the Three Ancestral Gods, with whom you have a good relationship, should also be regarded with caution.”

“Understood,” Luo Feng’s heart tightened.

“Haha, as for me, I am merely an observer,” Zuo Shan Ke laughed heartily, then vanished into the endless spatial storm.

Luo Feng stood in the distance, quietly pondering for a long time.

...

Luo Feng remained on Earth, silently waiting. Three days later, Zuo Shan Ke arrived, bringing with him the successfully refined supreme treasure.
