Star Tower

Luo Feng gazed at the suspended Star Tower. He had nearly died to make it recognize him as its master, and the stronger he became, the more unfathomable the Star Tower felt.

“What exactly is its origin?” Luo Feng wondered, filled with doubt.

“Yes, Lord Yinhe.” The Golden Light Figure respectfully acknowledged the command. Its eyes then shot out beams of light, enveloping the Star Tower to begin its scan. Moments later, its entire body glowed, continuing to shroud the Star Tower.

One second, two seconds...

One minute, two minutes...

Luo Feng frowned as he watched, but the membrane of his miniature universe typically remained white for several days, so he had ample time to return.

Five minutes had already passed, and the Golden Light Figure was still scanning.

“Not done yet?” Luo Feng couldn't help but ask. Even the Shi Wu Wings’ scan only took a brief moment.

The Golden Light Figure remained unresponsive, continuing its scan.

...

In the Jinzhi World, at the top floor of Wuqi Tower in God King Valley.

The Jinzhi God King looked in that direction from afar, a puzzled expression on his face: “This supreme treasure... I, I have never even seen it before. Its crafting is so exquisite that no traces can be detected. This must have been refined by a God King, and one who is highly skilled in artifact refining.”

In the Ancient Civilization, God Kings were the pinnacle of existence.

Like some founding monarchs.

Or figures like the Third Generation Patriarch and Rhinoceros Emperor, all were at the God King level. Yet, they each specialized in different areas: some excelled in close combat, others in long-range attacks, some in artifact refining, and others in machinery...

“The craftsmanship is no less than mine! And it seems even more perfect.”

“Who exactly refined it? How have I never seen such a treasure?” The Jinzhi God King was perplexed. Although he was merely a virtual consciousness, he possessed all the memories of the true Jinzhi God King, and naturally knew every famous super supreme treasure of the Ancient Civilization.

...

Luo Feng waited.

After a long while, the Golden Light Figure retracted all its light.

“How is it?” Luo Feng pressed, a hint of trepidation in his voice.

The Golden Light Figure respectfully replied, “I scanned it meticulously, but found no results. It has surpassed my detection range.”

“Beyond your detection range?” Luo Feng questioned.

“Yes,” the Golden Light Figure respectfully affirmed. “Within the Eternal True God-level range, I can detect everything in detail. But once it surpasses the Eternal True God-level... it becomes difficult. Based on my scan, this tower-type treasure is at least a treasure used by a ‘Saint-level’ existence.”

Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, but wasn't surprised.

Though his strength was low, he had vaguely sensed it. While the Shi Wu Wings were incredibly powerful, they couldn't compare to the Star Tower's profoundness and mystery. The Shi Wu Wings were already a top-tier single mechanical stream treasure at the Eternal True God-level, so it wasn't strange for the Star Tower to be used by a ‘Saint-level’ existence at minimum.

“Lord Yinhe,” the Golden Light Figure respectfully continued, “I just received a message from His Majesty the God King regarding this treasure.”

“His Majesty the God King?” Luo Feng was delighted.

His Majesty the God King was vastly knowledgeable; perhaps he would know.

As for His Majesty the God King knowing about his appraisal, Luo Feng wasn't surprised at all, as Jinzhi World was under His Majesty the God King's control.

“What did His Majesty the God King say?” Luo Feng inquired.

“His Majesty the God King said... this tower-type treasure is one that only a God King can refine,” the Golden Light Figure respectfully stated. “And it must be the pinnacle work of a God King highly skilled in artifact refining, using countless precious materials and expending the greatest effort, to refine such a top-tier treasure. This tower-type treasure is sufficient to serve as a primary weapon for a God King.”

Luo Feng was stunned by what he heard.

A God King's primary weapon?

Just like Luo Feng himself had several treasures, some were merely for use, while only the Shi Wu Wings and Star Tower served as primary weapons.

Yet, the Jinzhi God King said the ‘Star Tower’ was qualified to be a God King's primary weapon, and moreover, it had to be the most exquisite work of a God King skilled in artifact refining.

“How could this be, how could this be...”

“...fall into my hands?” Luo Feng couldn't believe it.

“It absolutely couldn't have been refined by Zuoshanke.” Luo Feng no longer believed it. Zuoshanke was merely a True God. Perhaps he had countless extraordinary encounters, but he was still just a True God. No matter how powerful or lucky he was, it was impossible for him to create the ‘most perfect work of an artifact-refining God King.’

“What is its origin?” Luo Feng pressed. “Such a super treasure should have a renowned reputation, even in the Ancient Civilization.”

The Golden Light Figure respectfully replied, “The owners of such supreme treasures are all extraordinary, and this supreme treasure should be extremely famous. However... His Majesty the God King said he has never seen this supreme treasure, nor has he ever heard of it in the Ancient Civilization.”

“Never heard of it?” Luo Feng was puzzled.

There were several possibilities.

One was that this supreme treasure, the ‘Star Tower,’ was created in the Ancient Civilization after the fall of Jinzhi Kingdom, and eventually fell into Zuoshanke's hands.

Another was that the Star Tower was left behind by some super powerhouse of the Ancient Civilization long, long before the fall of Jinzhi Kingdom, and the Jinzhi God King was simply unaware due to the passage of time.

And a third possibility was that some super existence refined the ‘Star Tower’ but never publicly revealed it.

“Teacher Zuoshanke truly must have had a great encounter,” Luo Feng mused. “And he also has a grand purpose, otherwise why would he specifically cultivate the Earth lineage to inherit this treasure? And to think he could abandon such a supreme treasure as the Star Tower.”

“I previously speculated that he might have connections with Jinzhi Kingdom, especially with some of the exiles after its fall. But now, it seems even the Jinzhi God King doesn't know the Star Tower's origin.”

Luo Feng grew even more perplexed.

Regardless.

At least, with the Jinzhi God King's confirmation, one thing was certain...

The Star Tower was a God King-level primary weapon! And even the Jinzhi God King didn't recognize it.

“Now, take a look at this.” Luo Feng flipped his hand and took out the Blood Shadow Blade, letting the Golden Light Figure scan it.

...

In the God King Valley, the Jinzhi God King smiled: “This Yinhe certainly has many treasures.”

“Yinhe, this blade is an embryonic form. It's the embryonic form of a God King-level treasure,” the Jinzhi God King said directly, his voice echoing in Luo Feng's ears. “It uses extremely high-grade materials and comes at a great cost. However, its secret technique requires you to continuously imprint it yourself... using an embryonic form to eventually forge a weapon is a common method for super powerhouses. After all, directly crafting a treasure of the same caliber as that tower-type treasure you had earlier is incredibly difficult.”

“What is the name of that tower-type treasure of yours?”

...

Hearing the Jinzhi God King's voice, Luo Feng smiled: “Your Majesty the God King, this tower is named Star Tower.”

Luo Feng wasn't afraid of the Jinzhi God King coveting the treasure.

After all, His Majesty the God King had long since passed away, leaving behind only a virtual consciousness. What use would he have for treasures? Moreover, the Jinzhi God King had been waiting for him for countless eras...

“Star Tower?” the Jinzhi God King transmitted. “This is a suppression-type treasure, capable of suppressing a large number of enemies within it, and even has the ability to ‘tame’ them... When your strength becomes immense, enemies imprisoned in this Star Tower can even be tamed into your loyal servants, never to betray you. Of course, weaker ones are easier to tame, while stronger ones are more difficult.”

“Primarily for suppression, and also useful in combat. Among combat treasures, it's considered the most precious, and it's a God King-level primary weapon... its value is immeasurable. Even if your embryonic form eventually becomes a God King battle blade, perhaps ten of them wouldn't compare to this one. Not to mention it's currently just an embryonic form.”

“Your ability to obtain it suggests an extraordinary destiny.”

“I have even more confidence that you can achieve my goal.”

Listening to His Majesty the God King, Luo Feng couldn't help but hold his breath.

The Blood Shadow Blade, even if it eventually became a God King battle blade, ten of them wouldn't compare to one Star Tower?

“Suppression, taming? The Star Tower actually has the power to tame enemies into servants,” Luo Feng mused. “It seems my strength is too weak, and I've only scratched the surface of the Star Tower's power.”

...

Luo Feng left Jinzhi World with a batch of treasures, while his divine power clone remained in Jinzhi World.

“Star Tower.”

“Shi Wu Wings.”

Luo Feng smiled. The origins of these two treasures were indeed extraordinary, especially the Star Tower, which had shocked him despite his prior expectations.

“Teacher... what is your true goal?” Luo Feng wondered inwardly.

What had Zuoshanke toiled for countless eras for?

Luo Feng always felt it must involve some deep secrets of the Universe Ocean. Zuoshanke himself had said they would discuss it after the Beast Calamity. If they couldn't overcome the Beast Calamity... then discussion would be futile.

“Haha, I'm inside the Star Tower.”

“Even if a million World Beasts attack together, what can they do to me?” Luo Feng felt elated. The Star Tower was a God King's primary weapon; each World Beast was merely equivalent to a True God. Even if a million attacked in concert, it would be like a gentle breeze.

However, he couldn't be careless.

Though the Star Tower was indestructible, if a million World Beasts collectively pushed it from the outside, Luo Feng, with his current strength, would absolutely be unable to resist. They could still push the Star Tower into some desperate situations.

“That place is, after all, the core of the Tilted Peak Sector. There are some terrifying places there. Even if I don't die by entering, I could be trapped and unable to escape,” Luo Feng thought. “For example, the Three Extremes Abyss... if a million World Beasts pushed the Star Tower, causing me to fall into the Three Extremes Abyss, even if I could return myself with the help of the Undying River, the Star Tower might not be able to get out.”

He had confidence, but carelessness could still cost him his life.

“Fortunately, I have Moluosa.” Luo Feng glanced at the World Beast beside him.

...

In the vast chaotic currents of the Universe Ocean, the Star Tower sped forward, quickly flying into Luo Feng's miniature universe.

“This vessel will be piloted by my avatar.”

“Moluosa, you will temporarily stay inside the vessel, constantly sensing all movements within the World Beast Lair and reporting to me,” Luo Feng commanded.

“Yes, Master,” Moluosa respectfully replied.

Luo Feng chuckled, “As long as you do your job diligently, when I go to the World Beast Lair this time, I will use the Star Tower to capture many World Beasts for you to devour upon my return.”

“Ah!” Moluosa was overjoyed to hear this.

Inside the Star Tower, once suppressed, there was no way to resist. Even a Third-tier World Beast would likely be devoured by Moluosa. If it were a Fourth-tier World Beast... with Luo Feng's assistance, Moluosa could still devour it.

“Help me wholeheartedly, and you will certainly be rewarded.” Luo Feng then directly left his miniature universe. Deep down, Luo Feng harbored a secret hope for Moluosa... to cultivate him into the final World Beast King! Of course, even now, the chances of surviving the Beast Calamity were still extremely slim, and Luo Feng dared not boast about it.

“World Beast Lair!”

Luo Feng gazed at the endless void in the distance.

Whoosh!

The Star Tower rapidly advanced towards the Tilted Peak Sector in the vast Universe Ocean!.
