Chapter 789

The Supreme Treasure: Shi Wu Wings

“The Golden Horned Beast’s combat power is superior to that Ka Wu Tribe Undying, making victory easy. However, to annihilate that ‘Giant Rock,’ it’s not yet strong enough to do so without burning undying divine power. But the Golden Horned Beast doesn’t possess undying divine power… Is this a dead end?” Luo Feng’s mind raced, considering various solutions. All of them were rejected; none of the other methods were viable. “There’s only one way!” “Perhaps, perhaps there’s a slight chance.” Luo Feng gritted his teeth. “It’s all up to you, Shi Wu Wings!” The Golden Horned Beast had already unleashed its strongest attack, the Sky-Rending Claw. What other powerful attack methods could it have? Only the Shi Wu Wings! Even the Chaos City Lord recognized these Shi Wu Wings as a supreme treasure. While primarily for escape, they did possess some combat capabilities, a fact the Chaos City Lord had informed Luo Feng of long ago. Of course, the Shi Wu Wings’ main function was for escape—flight and evasion. Fighting with the wings was merely a secondary ability. Luo Feng had tested them repeatedly, feeling that the Shi Wu Wings’ advantages were simply ‘high speed’ and ‘sharp scales and feathers.’ When flying rapidly, a sweep of the wings was like a blade cutting through. … “Whoosh!” The silver behemoth’s wings vibrated, and it charged once more towards Fen Ya, the flame giant whose body had just reformed. “Can you not be so excessive?” “How is this happening?” Fen Ya was both anxious and furious. “How can this silver monster’s instantaneous burst speed be so exaggerated? It only barely possesses King-level combat power; its instantaneous speed burst shouldn’t be this fast. If its speed were a little slower… I could quickly reach sub-light speed, close to the speed of light, and then it wouldn’t be able to catch me no matter how hard it tried.” The resistance on Fog Sand Island was quite significant. Reaching near light speed was already the limit! To achieve light-speed cosmic travel, one had to go to specific ‘transit points.’ As long as they were Undying Beings, given enough time, they could all reach ‘near light speed.’ Once everyone’s speed was that fast, even a King-level Undying Being pursuing them wouldn’t be able to catch an ordinary Undying. Because everyone’s speed would be the same, they couldn’t be caught. Unless they could teleport! Therefore— In battles among Undying Beings, instantaneous burst speed was more crucial, assuming they were close and hadn’t created a sufficient distance. If one Undying Being ran and another pursued, and the pursuer had an exceptionally fast instantaneous burst speed, they would naturally catch the one in front! After all, reaching near light speed took a while. “The Shi Wu Wings have three forms.” “Currently, I can only activate the first form, yet my flight is like a phantom, and my evasive movements are astonishingly fast,” Luo Feng mused. “Even that idiot Yanzhu King, relying on the supreme treasure his father gave him, can resist a peak King-level Undying once he unleashes it. Although my Shi Wu Wings are primarily for escape and evasion, once I start evading, how many King-level Undyings, unless they possess teleportation or time-stopping abilities, could keep up with me?” Boom! The Golden Horned Beast’s silver wings vibrated, and it suddenly moved like lightning, leaving a trail in the sky as it instantly appeared beside Fen Ya. Whoosh! Wings like blades! As the Golden Horned Beast flew past, the edge of its wing, like a sharp blade, sliced through the body of Fen Ya, the Ka Wu Tribe Marquis-level Undying. It was like a knife cutting through tofu, directly splitting him in half. Fen Ya’s upper and lower body were instantly severed. “Ah~~~” Though merely cut in half, Fen Ya suddenly threw his head back and let out a painful howl. He hadn’t cried out in agony even when reduced to dust, but now he wailed. Pain, intense pain! An invisible yet sharp aura of destruction, just a wisp, was like hot water melting ice or sulfuric acid corroding. Fen Ya’s undying divine power was incredibly fragile before this destructive aura, being forcibly annihilated one by one. Unfortunately, that destructive aura was only a minuscule trace left by the Shi Wu Wings as they swept past his body, yet it instantly destroyed 2% of his undying divine body! This was destruction at its very foundation! “Ah!” Fen Ya roared in agony. “It worked.” Luo Feng, standing atop a distant peak, had a look of delight. With his sensory abilities, he naturally felt the opponent’s 2% undying divine body instantly annihilated. This effect astonished and thrilled Luo Feng. “Haha… As expected of a supreme treasure even my teacher, the Chaos City Lord, deemed precious. Its main function is escape and evasion, but even with a trace of combat ability, it’s incredibly powerful. And this is just a tiny, tiny wisp of that spatial power, isn’t it?” The Shi Wu Wings were profound and unfathomable. Under the dual propulsion of physical strength and energy, the Shi Wu Wings would convert into a very special power, which Luo Feng called spatial power. This was the ‘core’ of the Shi Wu Wings’ powerful unleashed might. It was this power that made the Golden Horned Beast’s flight ghostly and unpredictable, astonishingly fast. The Shi Wu Wings’ second form could unleash spatial turbulence! (Requires reaching the third level, the ‘Bone’ chapter, to activate). The third form could even unleash spatial tides! (Requires reaching the fifth level, the ‘Unicorn Horn’ chapter, to activate). All of these required the spatial power converted within the Shi Wu Wings to drive them. This special power was immensely potent. However, in the first form Luo Feng was currently using, that spatial power was only at the core of the Shi Wu Wings, and what burst forth through the scales and feathers was merely a very, very faint trace that Luo Feng could control. Yet it destroyed 2% of an undying divine body! “Haha, die.” “Ka Wu Tribe Undying, die.” Luo Feng was filled with joy. Boom! The Golden Horned Beast’s wings vibrated, and the Shi Wu Wings sliced through once more! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Fen Ya was completely unable to dodge. Although he reformed again and again, as soon as he coalesced, he found the silver monster slicing through once more, each time damaging 2% of his undying divine body. Even with an undying body, he would definitely be finished by the 50th strike at most… if he were an ordinary Undying Being. Losing 50% of an undying divine body (equivalent to losing 50% of the soul) would cause consciousness to collapse, leading to immediate demise. After becoming an undying being, even losing 99% would not result in death. However, surviving with 1% would at most preserve memories, and one’s strength would be cannon fodder among Undyings. To recover all past strength with only 1% of an undying divine body would require eons, hundreds of millions of years. “No.” “No.” Fen Ya roared in agony. “Mercy, esteemed King-level Undying, please spare me.” Fen Ya urgently transmitted his plea to the Golden Horned Beast. When he saw the Golden Horned Beast’s terrifying speed… he knew that even if he burned his undying divine power to boost his speed, he wouldn’t be able to escape. Because that mysterious silver monster’s speed was too terrifying! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! In an instant, he was attacked more than 10 times again. Fen Ya’s undying divine body was reduced to only 50%, his soul halved just like that. “King-level Undying, don’t push me, don’t push me!!!” Fen Ya roared via telepathy. “Push you? Alien… just die!” The Golden Horned Beast’s speed was terrifying. Its silver wings sliced through Fen Ya’s body again and again, repeatedly destroying his undying divine body, which had taken countless years to condense… The undying divine body, that was the very foundation. “No!” “No!” Watching his undying divine body being destroyed until only 30% remained, Fen Ya, the Ka Wu Tribe Marquis-level Undying, grew desperate. Losing more than half his soul had too great an impact on his strength. He let out an angry roar, and finally, as the silver monster attacked again, he despaired. He could only let out a painful roar in his heart. “Boom!!!” He instantly detonated his entire undying divine body. Self-destruct! In despair, Fen Ya chose his last resort! Even if he couldn’t kill the King-level Undying, he would at least severely injure him. This was Fen Ya’s final act of revenge. “Rumble~~~” Cosmic space collapsed, and surrounding mountains crumbled. The Golden Horned Beast, facing the self-detonation at close range, immediately folded its wings. The massive Shi Wu Wings instantly enveloped and protected the Golden Horned Beast’s entire body. The violent self-detonation energy impacted the wings, but the Shi Wu Wings themselves were made of special material. Before this, the Chaos City Lord was the only one among the countless races of the vast domain lords who knew of the Shi Wu Wings’ existence. To destroy the Shi Wu Wings, even a Universe Master would likely find it difficult. This energy could only be considered a tickle to the Shi Wu Wings. The Shi Wu Wings blocked over ninety percent of the impact, and the remaining force acted upon the ‘General Armor.’ As long as it didn’t reach the General Armor’s limit—10,000 times the power of a Sector Lord—the impact would be completely nullified by the General Armor. “Boom~~~” Amidst the collapsing cosmos. The silver behemoth, enveloped by its massive silver wings, was sent flying tens of thousands of kilometers backward. It then spread its wings and hovered in the air, its dark golden eyes coldly staring. … He took all the treasures Fen Ya left behind, which were the spoils of war. “Hurry and leave, the battle was too loud, teams are already cautiously heading this way,” Luo Feng said, frowning slightly as he gazed at the distant void. The Golden Horned Beast’s clone immediately entered his inner world. Whoosh! Luo Feng vanished in a flash, executing the Three-Strike Cosmic Shuttle. However, it was clear that even with the same ‘Three-Strike Cosmic Shuttle,’ the Golden Horned Beast’s first strike alone was immeasurably faster than his Earth human true body’s desperate efforts. One reason was the inherent power gap, and the other was that the Golden Horned Beast possessed the Shi Wu Wings. … The demise of ‘Giant Rock,’ one of the twelve Marquis-level Undyings on Fog Sand Island, was a piece of news few knew. Giant Rock hadn’t called for help before his death, because among his allies on Fog Sand Island, there was no one stronger than him. Who could he call for help? As for leaving a message to warn future generations? Warn whom? With the silver monster’s combat power already reaching the baseline of a King-level, only the twelve great Marquis-level Undyings on Fog Sand Island were worthy of the silver monster’s attention. None of the other eleven Marquis-level Undyings were from his Ka Wu Tribe. “If I die, a few of you might as well come along as sacrifices.” Fen Ya certainly wasn’t benevolent. If they were of the same race, he might have warned them, but for aliens… Fen Ya wasn’t that magnanimous. … Luo Feng returned to his lair. The Star-Eating Plant had overgrown the cave, protecting the ‘hall’ within. Luo Feng was inside the hall, filled with joy. “Haha, Shi Wu Wings.” “My teacher truly gave me a supreme treasure.” Luo Feng was in an excellent mood, sitting there, sipping fruit wine, and thinking contentedly, “I finally understand what it feels like to have a powerful backing. That Yanzhu King had a supreme treasure that made other King-level Undyings jealous, and now I have one too, even better than his. Although its main purpose is escape and evasion, having even a trace of combat and defensive capabilities is already excellent.” “Tsk, tsk.” “Hmm?” A flash of lightning seemed to strike Luo Feng’s mind, and he murmured, “The Golden Horned Beast’s close-quarters combat, the Earth human true body’s blade techniques, it should be…” Immediately, Luo Feng’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.
