Entering Within

The colossal being's head was immeasurably vast. Around it, palace-type treasures were arrayed, with nearly ninety percent of the Universe Ocean's major powers gathered around its head.

“It’s truly massive.”

“This must be the mouth of a humanoid creature.”

The Tomb Mausoleum Boat descended. Inside, Luo Feng, Chaos City Lord, and other Hong Alliance powerhouses gazed in awe at the distant scene. Before them lay an infinitely vast abyss. Judging from the colossal being's overall shape, it appeared to have its mouth closed, and this abyss was merely a fissure between its lips.

This elongated abyss was approximately 1.9 million light-years long and about 120,000 light-years wide at its broadest point. Even Luo Feng's domain-type treasure could only probe a tiny fraction of it. This fissure alone was so immense that if ten or even eight Milky Way Galaxies were thrown into it, they wouldn't cover it.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

Streaks of light teleported above the abyss, then plunged directly inside.

“Quick, quick! If there are treasures within this colossal being, first come, first served. Hurry!” Many factions were incredibly anxious. Although they harbored apprehension and fear towards the unknown colossal being, they also held boundless desire. Thus, they immediately dispatched some Universe Masters with avatars to scout ahead.

“Luo Feng, let’s go down too.”

“Chaos!”

The powerhouses of the Hong Alliance were also anxious. The principle of 'the swift gain, the slow lose' was understood by all. Seeing other factions sending their powerhouses one by one, how could they not be anxious?

Chaos City Lord looked around and immediately said, “Everything about this colossal being is unknown, and the dangers within are unknown. Not even a Universe Overlord is confident. Therefore… for now, we should only send Universe Masters with avatars to explore. Even if they perish, it’s only the loss of an avatar and some treasures. The main entrances at the colossal being’s head are at the ears, nostrils, and the fissure between the lips. If we are to enter… it’s best to split up and proceed through these passages, exploring carefully.”

No one knew which passage would lead to treasures first.

So… each passage needed powerhouses to attempt it.

“Alright.”

“I’ll go.”

“I’ll go too.” The powerhouses were incredibly efficient. Through divine power communication, they quickly discussed and soon eight Universe Masters entered. Among these eight Universe Masters… was Luo Feng.

Chaos City Lord repeatedly instructed, “All of you entering must not be careless, and when you enter, remember to record maps. This way, our Hong Alliance successors will also gain some experience. Alright, everyone, depart.”

“Let’s go.”

“Depart.”

The hatch of the Tomb Mausoleum Boat had already opened.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Streaks of light swiftly flew out, including a black spherical palace. The other Hong Alliance powerhouses, including Chaos City Lord, watched with anticipation as their comrades departed, all hoping that their side would obtain the great treasures and opportunities contained within this colossal being.

...

Inside the black spherical palace.

Luo Feng stood in the main hall, looking outside. He wore black combat armor and carried a battle blade on his back. A hazy black light emanated from him, rapidly spreading through the black spherical palace and enveloping an area of several light-years around it.

“Time to explore.” Luo Feng’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

This avatar was his Demon Killer Clan avatar.

In fact, when venturing into the Universe Ocean, Luo Feng only brought his Golden Horn Behemoth avatar and his Earthling true body. But for this exploration… Luo Feng instantly ordered his Demon Killer Clan avatar in the Original Universe to return to the Endless Abyssal Sea and then willingly perish. The treasures carried by the Demon Killer Clan avatar were then stored by the Endless Abyssal Sea.

Luo Feng then immediately separated a portion of divine power from his Golden Horn Behemoth avatar to condense a new Demon Killer Clan avatar.

His Demon Killer Clan avatar now possessed a 5000-fold life gene level and was over ten thousand kilometers tall. In terms of total divine power, it was actually less than one-thousandth of his Golden Horn Behemoth avatar. So, separating a small amount was not a problem.

As for the treasures carried by the Demon Killer Clan avatar… these were mainly Luo Feng’s gains over the past 8 million years. After obtaining Jie Fan Zi’s treasures, Luo Feng had given most to his clan but kept several items for his own use. Coupled with his rampant exploration over these 8 million years, often snatching treasures from places where they appeared, thanks to the power of the Tomb Mausoleum Boat, he had accumulated quite a bit, making it easy to assemble this set of treasures.

The armor and battle blade worn by the Demon Killer Clan avatar were all peak-tier treasures, though quite ordinary among them.

The palace and domain-type treasure, however, were also peak-tier, and clearly much more valuable.

“Equipment ready.”

“Let’s see what’s inside this colossal being.” The Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng piloted the black spherical palace, employing ultra-short-distance teleportation. Each teleportation occurred within his diffused domain. As he advanced… Luo Feng naturally recorded the map.

...

In the vast Universe Ocean.

Three figures emerged side-by-side from a natural wormhole.

“According to the reports from Jiuyou and the others, it seems all major powers in the Universe Ocean can’t hold back and have sent some powerhouses in. However, given everyone’s caution, most factions have probably sent Universe Masters with avatars.”

“Soon, they will understand the terror of this fourth absolute land.”

“Never mind them. We’ll proceed at a normal pace. As for how many of them die, it’s purely up to their luck. You should also instruct Jiuyou and the others… apart from Jiuyou and a few other fearless ones, don’t venture inside. Although we know the secret of this fourth absolute land, we cannot reveal it prematurely.”

The three Ancestral Gods had come at the command of the Original Universe’s Primal Will.

Even though they knew the secret, they dared not reveal it to their own powerhouses in advance… As Ancestral Gods, while there were many benefits, there were also many rules to abide by.

...

Boom~~~

The colossal being’s speed continuously decreased, slowing down under the resistance of the endless chaotic currents, until it finally came to a complete, rumbling halt, motionless.

“The humanoid creature has completely stopped.”

“Is this armor on its body merely decorative? Or is it a treasure like our combat armor? Let’s see if it can be bound to a master.” The powerhouses remaining outside were also impatient and full of ideas. If they were powerful treasures, they should be able to bind to a master, so they all went to test it.

But in reality, when the powerhouses first landed, some had already tested it.

It couldn’t be bound to a master!

The colossal being’s armor was like an ornament that couldn’t be bound to a master, and no matter how it was attacked, not a single scratch appeared on the colossal being’s surface.

...

Following the fissure between the colossal being’s lips, Luo Feng entered.

Pilotting the palace-type treasure, Luo Feng maintained ultra-short-distance, high-frequency teleportation, moving extremely fast. He quickly advanced tens of millions of light-years… and by now, the colossal being had stopped.

“An infinitely vast abyss.”

Inside the palace, the Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng looked down. He couldn’t see the bottom, nor could he see the end of the sides—it was infinitely vast! Only the front vaguely showed an end. Through the probing of his domain-type treasure… Luo Feng understood that there was no path forward, and to advance, he had to descend.

“Down we go!”

Boom!

The black spherical palace rapidly plummeted downwards, then began ultra-short-distance, high-frequency teleportation.

“Hmm? There’s a huge area ahead that my domain-type treasure can’t probe?” The Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng was delighted. Since he began probing, he hadn’t found anything unusual. One must know that in dangerous places like the Universe Boat or the Tilted Peak Sector, any truly dangerous area cannot be probed by domain-type treasures.

He had been inside the colossal being for so long, and this was the first time he found a place his ‘domain-type treasure couldn’t probe.’

“Let’s go check it out.”

Pilotting the black spherical palace, he swiftly approached the area.

Half an hour later.

“That is—” The Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng looked into the distance from within the palace. “Rumble~~~” A massive, swirling vortex, stretching as far as the eye could see, appeared in his vision. The enormous vortex twisted, spreading out in rings.

“This is… a natural wormhole?”

The Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng instantly recognized it as a natural wormhole.

“This natural wormhole is too big, and its momentum is too grand. The twisting forces around it alone probably require a Universe Master to pass through. Whether in the Universe Ocean or the Original Universe… I’ve never seen such a large natural wormhole.” The Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng marveled. Clearly, entering this natural wormhole would quickly lead to another location.

“Go, continue downwards.”

However, the Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng piloted his palace-type treasure, bypassing the natural wormhole and continuing his descent.

Because any powerhouse exploring a dangerous place knows that there are two main ways to advance: teleportation and flight! Teleportation is used to reach areas that can be sensed, ensuring safety before teleporting. Flight is much safer, as one wouldn’t foolishly fall directly into a dangerous area.

Like a natural wormhole?

No one knows what’s on the other side. While natural wormholes in the Universe Ocean or Original Universe are one thing, no one would foolishly enter those found in the Universe Boat, Tilted Peak Sector, Liu Zhong Mountain, or the colossal being before them.

“Advance!”

The endless abyss, with no end in sight.

It seemed to hold no danger, so the Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng continued to advance, teleporting with his palace-type treasure.

“No end in sight, no end in sight. I’ve been in here for a full 15 days.” On the 15th day, the Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng was getting anxious. After all, the other three absolute lands had plenty of dangerous areas, but inside this colossal being… it was just an endless abyss, with nothing, and teleportation was possible everywhere.

“Whoosh!”

A supremely cold wind suddenly appeared. Even though Luo Feng’s domain-type treasure spread for several light-years, it failed to detect its arrival. It simply descended.

Silently.

It swept through the black spherical palace-type treasure where the Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng resided. The entire black spherical palace, a ‘peak-tier palace-type treasure,’ instantly crumbled into endless dust, like mere specks. The dust scattered outwards and then vanished into nothingness. Inside the spherical palace-type treasure, the Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng only felt an ‘icy coldness’—a coldness that froze all divine power, and seemed to freeze the soul itself.

Without a sound, the Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng, along with the battle blade on his back and the armor on his body, all turned into dust, scattered, and then vanished into nothingness.

In the endless abyss…

It remained as if there were no dangers, everywhere calm, everywhere open for teleportation, as if the Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng and the palace-type treasure he piloted had never existed, leaving no trace behind.
