Humanity's Clan-Protecting Treasure

Luo Feng and the other Cosmic Overlords followed Chaos City Lord out through a side door. As they walked along the corridor, they could immediately see a colossal vessel floating in the vast Thousand Treasures River, far in the void behind the palace complex—the Tomb Mausoleum Boat. “Brother, where are we going?” Dark Master pressed, even he, a junior brother, was unaware of the clan-protecting methods Original Ancestor had left behind. “To the Tomb Mausoleum Boat,” Chaos City Lord replied, looking back. “Although this is the core of the Original Secret Realm, many foreign Cosmic Overlords are present. To prevent information leaks, it’s better to enter the Tomb Mausoleum Boat... for you all to observe closely.” Luo Feng could only suppress his curiosity. A moment later, they entered the Tomb Mausoleum Boat, which floated in the distant Thousand Treasures River and stretched for a hundred billion kilometers. “The Tomb Mausoleum Boat is truly a wondrous treasure,” Chaos City Lord praised, unable to help himself after entering through the hatch. “Although it has the drawback of being unable to launch active attacks, its defensive capabilities are unparalleled. Even when attacked by Cosmic Ultimate Experts, it remains steadfast and easily withstands the assault. This is something even Supreme True Treasure palaces cannot compare to. With it, our race’s last Cosmic Passage will remain safe and sound.” Dark Master, Peng Gong Master, Long Xing Master, and the others all nodded. Luo Feng also smiled. Indeed. Original Ancestor was permanently suppressed, and the ‘Cosmic Passages’ connecting the Initial Universe to the Original Universe were irreplaceable once destroyed; new ones could not be created. Even with the Star Tower and Black Prison Tower, they would still be blasted away if attacked, unable to guard and protect the Cosmic Passage. But the Tomb Mausoleum Boat was far more stable. “In the Universe Ocean, even the overwhelming collective attacks of Cosmic Ultimate Experts reaching Tier 7 or 8 power levels cannot harm the Tomb Mausoleum Boat. Let alone within the Original Universe,” Luo Feng said with great confidence. The Tomb Mausoleum Boat, a hundred billion kilometers long, could directly protect the Cosmic Passage within one of its massive internal cabins, ensuring absolute safety. ...Inside a grand hall within the Tomb Mausoleum Boat. A group of human Cosmic Overlords gathered there. “This will do,” Chaos City Lord said with a smile. Luo Feng and the others watched with anticipation... Since Original Ancestor intended to leave behind clan-protecting methods, he would undoubtedly have put his utmost effort and care into it, making it extraordinary. “Watch closely,” Chaos City Lord said, his gaze sweeping over each Cosmic Overlord. Then, with utmost solemnity, he extended his palm. Instantly, all eyes were fixed on Chaos City Lord’s hand. Suddenly, an object appeared in Chaos City Lord’s right palm, emitting an aura of a true treasure. “This is...” Luo Feng stared, wide-eyed. “Huh?” Peng Gong Master wondered. “What is this?” Dark Master was also puzzled. Each of them wore a bewildered expression. In Chaos City Lord’s right palm was an object resembling a ‘sculpture,’ featuring a miniature mountain, a small lake, and a wooden house! The mountain, water, and house naturally felt incredibly harmonious and natural to Luo Feng and the others, yet it seemed nothing more than a work of art. Although it emitted a true treasure aura, the aura was quite ordinary, estimated to be only at the level of a common or high-tier true treasure. If it were a powerful Supreme True Treasure, its aura, once unleashed, would be intensely oppressive, even if it could be restrained. “Teacher?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but look at Chaos City Lord. “Chaos, what is this?” “Is this... is this the clan-protecting treasure left by Original Ancestor?” “No way, this is definitely not a Supreme True Treasure, how could it be clan-protecting?” Each of them looked at Chaos City Lord, puzzled and confused. Chaos City Lord glanced at Luo Feng and the others with a smile, then said, “Once I activate it with my divine power, you will understand its might.” Immediately, wisps of divine power burned in his palm, and the energy poured directly into the treasure. The object instantly floated up and rapidly expanded. Then, within the grand hall, a continuous mountain range, tens of thousands of kilometers high, appeared. At its base was a wooden house, roughly a hundred kilometers tall, and in front of the house lay a lake a thousand kilometers in diameter. “Come,” Chaos City Lord said, his divine body rapidly shrinking to ten kilometers tall. Luo Feng and the others also immediately reduced their divine bodies, following Chaos City Lord along the lakeside, and soon arrived in front of the wooden house. “Chaos, what about this treasure’s power?” Peng Gong Master pressed. “I haven’t activated its secret patterns yet, so it naturally can’t display its full might.” Chaos City Lord stood by the lake, and at the same time, another figure suddenly appeared beside him—it was his barefoot clone, holding a mottled, scar-covered stone staff. “A clone!” Luo Feng and the others were startled. “This treasure is quite complex; it requires my main body and this clone to work together, providing enough divine power to activate it,” Chaos City Lord explained. As he finished speaking, the tall clone, holding the mottled, scar-covered stone staff, strode towards the distant mountain range. Upon touching the mountains, it directly merged into them. Chaos City Lord himself also walked directly into the lake, treading on its surface until he reached its center. “Buzz, buzz, buzz~~~” Suddenly, the distant mountain range began to surge with incredibly powerful fluctuations. A faint, ethereal secret pattern flashed and vanished in the surrounding space. Immediately, a scene of cyan extended upwards from the mountain range, instantly covering the entire area above, as if forming a ‘cyan sky.’ “Rumble, rumble, rumble~~~” The lake trembled, and the earth quaked. At the same time, faint secret patterns flowed and then disappeared, as endless land extended, forming a ‘gray earth.’ The cyan sky and gray earth met, their first point of convergence being the wooden house. “Roar~~~” The wooden house suddenly emitted dazzling light. Ten thousand rays of light! Endless radiance enveloped every inch of space in this entire world. Moreover, the cyan sky and gray earth continuously converged, generating power that transformed into this boundless light. Under the illumination of this light, Luo Feng, Dark Master, Long Xing Master, and the others all showed expressions of shock, for merely being bathed in it, they felt an immense sense of oppression. “Such immense power,” Luo Feng and the others exclaimed in shock. “This treasure was personally crafted by Teacher, who exhausted countless efforts back then,” Chaos City Lord’s main body said, standing on the distant lake, reminiscing. “The mountains, earth, lake, wooden house, and so on, are actually composed of 36,200 components. Each component uses excellent materials, but the secret methods for their construction are quite simple. Only when combined... do they become systematized. The mountain, lake, and wooden house form three major systems, ultimately creating this miniature world. Teacher once said... this is the initial law of the universe’s operation.” “This treasure is named ‘Universe in Hand’,” Chaos City Lord declared confidently. “It’s like... a ‘simplified’ miniature universe. Within any area that my Universe in Hand can control, it can instantly unleash two peak Tier 6 attacks simultaneously through its power.” “Furthermore, its maximum effective range can reach one light-year.” Luo Feng and the others were dumbfounded. This, this... This was even more heaven-defying than a domain-type Supreme True Treasure! A typical domain-type Supreme True Treasure could indeed instantly control domain attacks within its sphere. However, in the hands of a Cosmic Overlord, it was impossible to achieve peak Tier 6 power, because the greater role of a ‘domain-type Supreme True Treasure’ was suppression! Only in the hands of a Cosmic Ultimate Expert, who could unleash powerful secret techniques they had comprehended through the ‘domain-type Supreme True Treasure,’ might it reach peak Tier 6. Even then, it could only unleash one attack at a time. Yet, Chaos City Lord could unleash two simultaneously, as if two Cosmic Ultimate Experts were attacking, and could appear anywhere within a one-light-year range at any moment! “This is a simplified miniature universe,” Chaos City Lord explained. “Once within its range, it’s like being inside a miniature universe. And I am its controller. With a single thought, I can attack any target! Even if a Cosmic Ultimate Expert falls into my domain, I can make them suffer immensely, perhaps even preventing them from escaping this range for a short period.” “However, the maximum offensive power of this ‘Universe in Hand’ is peak Tier 6. This holds true even in the Universe Ocean,” Chaos City Lord stated. “Therefore, it is even more advantageous in the Original Universe. Teacher created it back then specifically to protect our race. With it, even if two or three Cosmic Ultimate Experts attack, they will suffer greatly. Although Teacher’s ability to refine treasures could only produce high-tier true treasures at most, by combining numerous treasures, he was able to construct this artifact, which truly surpasses our imagination.” Dark Master, Long Xing Master, and Huang Jian Master were all dumbfounded. To personally create a treasure more formidable than a domain-type Supreme True Treasure? However, in the Universe Ocean, it wouldn’t necessarily be considered more powerful than a Supreme True Treasure. ...“Mechanical Flow!” Luo Feng was shocked in his heart. “This, this is the concept of Mechanical Flow! These numerous small components, ultimately converging into three major systems... it’s actually similar to the Slaying Wu Wings. The Slaying Wu Wings are also composed of many components, divided into white wings, five pairs of wings, and the transforming core!” “And this ‘Universe in Hand’ also combines components, with the wooden house as its transforming core.” “In terms of complexity, the Universe in Hand is even more intricate,” Luo Feng marveled. Of course. The Universe in Hand belongs to a relatively lower-tier Mechanical Flow treasure. The level of civilization contained within the ‘core’ alone far surpasses that of the Universe in Hand. However, structurally, the Slaying Wu Wings’ system is actually quite simple, whereas the Universe in Hand is far more complex, requiring both of Chaos City Lord’s clones to activate it. Naturally, in terms of complexity, it still couldn’t compare to the Tomb Mausoleum Boat or the Universe Boat. But what was clear was this—it was a Mechanical Flow artifact. That’s why it seemed ordinary in power, yet could unleash such formidable might, with its power also having a limit of ‘peak Tier 6.’ This remained true even when entering the Universe Ocean. ... “One is heaven, one is earth, one is the heart of heaven and earth,” Peng Gong Master slowly articulated. “Darkness, light, the place of origin,” Dark Master also murmured. Each Cosmic Overlord gazed at this ‘simplified universe.’ Luo Feng also watched. Although it was Mechanical Flow, the secret methods contained within this Universe in Hand... were the very Dao of cosmic operation, far more profound than his own Miniature Universe. “The convergence of space-time, the birth of a universe...” Luo Feng also gazed at the heaven and earth—the boundless cyan sky, the gray earth, and the endless dazzling golden light emanating from the ‘wooden house’ at their convergence point... All of this subtly contained the supreme Dao of the cosmos, the fundamental mysteries of how true laws operated. Luo Feng was completely immersed in it for a moment. Ever since reaching the ‘Cosmic Venerable’s ultimate bottleneck,’ he had been unable to break through. But at this moment, a flash of inspiration struck, and numerous thoughts surfaced in his mind... Luo Feng looked up. Gradually... a smile spread across his face.
