Sky Eclipse Palace Master

"Greetings, Immortal!" The Sector Lord Moluoke bowed respectfully. The burly man, carrying a giant axe on his back, acknowledged him and then looked at Luo Feng. "Luo Feng, the Palace Master wants to see you. Follow me." As he spoke, an invisible, unseen force, like a giant hand, instantly lifted Luo Feng. Then, the burly man directly took Luo Feng, transforming into a streak of light, and swiftly headed towards the ninth floor of the Sky Eclipse Palace. "Is this the power of an Immortal?" Luo Feng sensed the law fluctuations contained within the invisible force around him. They flew up, floor after floor! Each floor of the Sky Eclipse Palace was incredibly vast and tall. Soon, this Immortal brought Luo Feng to the ninth floor! ... This grand hall on the ninth floor was likely the largest among all nine floors of the Sky Eclipse Palace. For instance, the first floor had a dedicated hall for cosmic spaceships, side halls for receiving external visitors, side halls for Sector Lords to rest, side halls specifically for monitoring the Xueluo World, and side halls for Sector Lords to cultivate... In short, from the first to the eighth floor, although each was vast, it was divided into many sections. The ninth floor, however, was grand and unobstructed! The entire ninth floor was not divided. The grand hall on the ninth floor measured tens of thousands of kilometers in both length and width, and tens of thousands of kilometers in height. Even Earth could be placed inside this hall. "Sky Eclipse Palace Master?" As his feet touched the ninth floor, Luo Feng's gaze fell upon the figure standing in the distance. He! He wore a silver robe, but upon closer inspection, it seemed as if countless illusions shimmered on the garment. One could vaguely discern golden threads woven into the robe, yet in the blink of an eye, it appeared to be just a silver robe again. It was illusory yet not, making it difficult to perceive clearly. He also had long, reddish-brown hair flowing freely. He stood there, gazing at the endless void outside the Sky Eclipse Palace. At this moment, Luo Feng even felt... he was vaster and more magnificent than the void outside the palace. "Palace Master!" The burly man bowed respectfully. "You may go." The voice was clear and elegant, like the rustling of bamboo in the wind. "Yes." The burly man transformed into a streak of light and immediately left the ninth floor. A light screen instantly appeared and then vanished at the ninth-floor staircase, seemingly closing the passage. He finally turned around! He had reddish-brown long hair, crystalline skin, black eyes, and a vertical mark on his forehead. Aside from that mark, he looked remarkably similar to an Earthling. Although his height was average, in his presence, even giants would feel as if they were facing boundless heaven and earth, sensing their own insignificance. "Luo Feng." The voice seemed to echo in his ears, yet also resonated within Luo Feng's heart. Luo Feng was startled awake. "My will was influenced by him without me even realizing it. This... this is too terrifying. Compared to the truly dominant powerful beings in the universe, even my most cherished will still has a gap." If Luo Feng's thoughts were known to some powerful beings in the universe, they would probably burst into laughter. The great eternal existences standing at the pinnacle of the universe, simply through the tempering of endless years and the nurturing influence of the universe's origin, would have their will reach an inconceivable level. A mere Universe-level junior who had only lived for a few hundred years... And he dared to compare himself to the Sky Eclipse Palace Master? That person alone commanded awe throughout the entire Xueluo World. "Luo Feng greets the Palace Master." Luo Feng bowed respectfully. "Your will is impressive." The Sky Eclipse Palace Master nodded slightly, as if the entire world was speaking. "This generation of the genius battle is the most outstanding in tens of thousands of eras, because among you, Bolan, you, and Rongjun have emerged." Luo Feng was flattered. Tens of thousands of eras, that was hundreds of millions of years. "Before you entered the Xueluo World, the Virtual Universe Company's management had a debate about you and Bolan," the Sky Eclipse Palace Master looked at Luo Feng. "At that time, the debate was that your character is tenacious, suitable for this difficult and arduous path of a powerful being. Your talent is also extremely high! While Bolan is too arrogant, his talent can be described as heaven-defying. However... your will far surpasses Bolan's." "At that time, some favored you. Some favored Bolan." "And I, I favored you." The Sky Eclipse Palace Master looked at Luo Feng, a hint of a smile in his eyes. "Thank you, Palace Master." Luo Feng bowed. "During your time in the Xueluo World, according to your teacher, you comprehended 35 profound mysteries of the spatial origin laws?" The Sky Eclipse Palace Master looked at Luo Feng. "Is this true?" "Yes," Luo Feng replied directly. "As soon as your teacher mentioned it, many more in our Virtual Universe Company began to favor you," the Sky Eclipse Palace Master said. "I also believe that you and Rongjun have more hope of becoming true powerful beings of our cosmic humanity in the future." "Me and Rongjun?" Luo Feng was taken aback. It was fine to praise himself. Rongjun? From the Sky Eclipse Palace Master's words, it seemed that the debate was between him and Bolan, not Rongjun. But now, it seemed that in both the Sky-Reaching Bridge and the Illusory Sea, he and Bolan were leading! "Rongjun?" Luo Feng was puzzled. "If Bolan awakens, he will also be your competitor," the Sky Eclipse Palace Master looked at Luo Feng. "As for Rongjun, if you can surpass Rongjun in this lifetime, that would already be a great achievement." "What?" Luo Feng's eyes widened. This lifetime? To surpass Rongjun in this lifetime would be a great achievement? And this was said by the Sky Eclipse Palace Master. He wouldn't be able to surpass Rongjun? Ever since obtaining the Beast God Statue, Luo Feng hadn't even considered Bolan or Rongjun as opponents. He was destined to far surpass them. His opponents were the super existences of past eras! But someone of the Sky Eclipse Palace Master's status wouldn't speak carelessly. Moreover, Rongjun had once caused two Universe Nation Masters to vie for him as a disciple. A series of strange events made Luo Feng confused. "So the highest echelons favored Rongjun the most, followed by me and Bolan?" Luo Feng thought to himself. "Hmph!" "Their favoritism is their favoritism." "I have the Beast God Statue to comprehend the 'Sky-Rending Claw,' a Demon Killer Clan clone to comprehend the Nine Universe Chaos Stele, and my Earthling true body to integrate everything. I will surpass Rongjun now, and when I return this time... I'll probably surpass Bolan too! After this breakthrough, I will continuously improve and leave them far behind." Luo Feng's resolve was incredibly firm. Although he respected the Sky Eclipse Palace Master's words, how could his determination be shaken? He simply wanted to become stronger! Continuously stronger! His progress would only accelerate. As for Rongjun? Bolan? It remained to be seen if they could keep up with his pace. "Your character is indeed firm." The Sky Eclipse Palace Master, seeing through Luo Feng's eyes, could guess his thoughts and smiled. "The universe is vast and mysterious, full of unknown opportunities for everyone. All three of you are excellent. However, for someone so young, to have such a strong will is truly remarkable. My friend favors Rongjun the most, and if Rongjun doesn't fall, he will indeed achieve great things in the future. But I'm placing my bet on you." A bet? Luo Feng was stunned. This Sky Eclipse Palace Master seemed to know some secrets about Rongjun, yet still chose to bet on him? "Don't make me lose," the Sky Eclipse Palace Master said with a smile in his eyes. "Since you've comprehended 35 profound mysteries." He then pointed towards mid-air. Invisible energy gathered, instantly forming a stone stele. On the stone stele was a diagram—the Fine Rain Diagram! The Fine Rain Diagram contained a total of 36 raindrops. "Which of these 36 profound mysteries have you not yet comprehended?" the Sky Eclipse Palace Master asked. "This one," Luo Feng pointed, and his spiritual force flew out, landing directly on one of the raindrops. "Since we've met, I'll help you out," the Sky Eclipse Palace Master waved his hand. Immediately, nine black fireballs, each approximately several hundred kilometers in diameter, flew out and hovered in the mid-air of the palace. Each black fireball was hundreds of kilometers across, completely black, with black flames burning on its surface. Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~~~ The space around the black fireballs was directly incinerated and torn apart, and even the spatial turbulence from the ruptured space was suppressed by these black fireballs, unable to approach. As for the space further away, it was directly distorted. It was as if an incredibly strong gravitational force made space itself unable to withstand it. Only the space around Luo Feng and the Sky Eclipse Palace Master remained stable. "What are these things? Those Immortals can play with stars, but what are these nine black spheres?" Luo Feng looked up, somewhat bewildered. Although under the Sky Eclipse Palace Master's control, he only felt the surrounding temperature rise to several thousand degrees, which was nothing for a Universe-level Ninth-tier powerful being. However, the mere temperature was enough to incinerate and tear space apart, even suppressing spatial turbulence from daring to approach. This was definitely thousands of times more terrifying than a star! "I will fully demonstrate the 36th profound mystery, the one you haven't comprehended, right before your eyes. This is a one-time demonstration. Whether you can comprehend it or not is up to you." The Sky Eclipse Palace Master looked at the nine black flame spheres hovering in mid-air. Immediately, the nine black flame spheres began to move. With this movement... Heaven and earth vanished. Luo Feng's consciousness involuntarily became completely immersed. The movement of the nine black flame spheres completely resonated with the universe's spatial origin laws, and space was entirely under their control. At this moment, his comprehension was even deeper than when he studied the Nine Universe Chaos Stele. The main reason was that the 'Nine Universe Chaos Stele' was merely a stone stele left by a certain peak existence in the universe, whereas this was the Sky Eclipse Palace Master personally demonstrating the 36th profound mystery. After demonstrating the 36th profound mystery, the nine black flame spheres continued their demonstration, becoming increasingly profound... Luo Feng was completely engrossed, numerous insights surfacing in his mind, but later he found it increasingly difficult to understand. He didn't know how much time had passed... "Boom!" The nine black flame spheres were no longer visible to the naked eye. Only countless fiery trails could be seen, which eventually formed an incredibly bizarre monster image. This monster image was precisely the one from the seventh to ninth diagrams of the "Nine Universe Chaos Stele" that Luo Feng had never been able to understand. Immediately, the nine black flame spheres vanished into thin air, and the vast hall returned to normal. The Sky Eclipse Palace Master glanced at Luo Feng, who was still immersed in comprehension, and waved his hand. Whoosh! Luo Feng disappeared and reappeared in the control room of one of the F-class cosmic spaceships on the first floor of the Sky Eclipse Palace. Luo Feng was still sitting cross-legged in the control room, comprehending, completely unaware that he had been moved to the spaceship. "Send Luo Feng off, don't disturb his comprehension," the Sky Eclipse Palace Master transmitted. "Yes, Palace Master." The Sky Eclipse Palace Master looked down, seemingly seeing through layers of the palace to Luo Feng, who was engrossed in comprehension in the cosmic spaceship's control room. He chuckled softly, "Luo Feng, how much you can comprehend is up to you." Then, the Sky Eclipse Palace Master sat cross-legged, and chuckled in a low voice, "So young, yet such a strong will. Interesting, very interesting. When I was a Domain Lord, my will wasn't this strong, was it?" Silence returned. The ninth floor of the Sky Eclipse Palace remained as tranquil as it had been for billions of years. Meanwhile, an F-class shuttle-shaped cosmic spaceship carried Luo Feng, still immersed in comprehension, away from the Sky Eclipse Palace...
