Chapter 849
Secret Pattern Weapon
The enormous treasure left behind by the indigenous people of the Yan Ji Continent was truly astonishing. “Oh, my heavens.” “This time, this time it’s truly...” Luo Feng blinked, his entire body surging with excitement. “I’ve struck it rich, truly struck it rich! No wonder Cangjin King and Zizhong King fought so desperately for this sacrificial tower treasure, and Yechen King and Huci King were also filled with such desire. It seems they had more foresight than me, knowing how astonishing this treasure was.” “More than just astonishing.” “It’s absolutely insane,” Luo Feng muttered to himself. Within the miniature worlds of the three World Rings, there were treasures of varying levels, and each World Ring contained a message. Luo Feng flipped his hand, and three metal plates appeared out of thin air. Each plate was intricately carved with dense, tiny characters, all in the language of the Yan Ji Continent’s indigenous people, detailing aspects of the treasure. “Surviving kin, this World Ring contains various treasures for our kin at the Sector Lord, Domain Lord, Universe-level, Star-level, and Planet-level. Although many items are inexpensive, their sheer quantity fills this entire miniature world with countless goods. Cumulatively, this represents an immense fortune. You must use it cautiously, considering that our clan will take billions of years to slowly rise again. The output must be controlled, and nurturing future generations is paramount, for these weak, growing kin are the future of our clan. This World Ring... represents the future.” “Kin, this World Ring contains various treasures for Immortal Gods. Although their quantity is far less than the previous one, their overall cumulative value is higher. Our clan, having survived the catastrophe, faces difficult survival. The surviving Immortal Gods must carve out living space for our clan. They need sufficient treasures to venture forth in the cosmos.” “Kin, this final World Ring contains a set of true Secret Pattern Weapons. Secret Pattern Weapons are the highest achievement of our clan’s civilization. Over countless years, our clan’s Venerables painstakingly crafted fewer than a hundred such weapons. During our clan’s recent catastrophe, these Secret Pattern Weapons and some treasures belonging to our Venerables were distributed among 100 inheritance sacrificial towers. Some inheritance sacrificial towers contain Secret Pattern Weapons, while others hold treasures used by Venerables. Although... Secret Pattern Weapons are not of great use to Venerables, their price in the cosmos is no less than that of Venerable treasures, because their abilities are incredibly powerful. As for how to use this Secret Pattern Weapon and what its capabilities are, a detailed explanation is attached to the weapon itself. Though this Secret Pattern Weapon is a single item, its value far exceeds the combined worth of the previous two World Rings!” Luo Feng stared at the three metal plates, somewhat dazed. Three World Rings. One for those below the Immortal level... used by weaker kin such as Sector Lords, Domain Lords, Universe-level, and so on. One containing treasures for Immortal-level use. And one containing a clan-protecting treasure—a Secret Pattern Weapon! “That’s an incredible claim.” “A Secret Pattern Weapon, the highest achievement of the Yan Ji Continent’s indigenous civilization? Painstakingly crafted for countless years, yet fewer than a hundred exist? And its price far exceeds the combined wealth of the first two World Rings?” Luo Feng immediately took the third World Ring, and with a thought, retrieved the sole weapon stored within it. Whoosh. The weapon was exquisitely small and delicate, somewhat resembling an armguard. Its primary color was black, with a subtle, hazy, starlit feel. “‘How to use the Secret Pattern Weapon, with detailed instructions attached?’ Luo Feng looked at it, puzzled, unable to understand a thing. Immediately, a trace of World Power permeated the armguard-like Secret Pattern Weapon to investigate. The moment it permeated, the ‘spiritual imprint’ contained within the World Power automatically merged into the armguard. The Secret Pattern Weapon armguard instantly recognized its master. “How convenient,” Luo Feng thought. As the Secret Pattern Weapon easily recognized him as its master, a piece of information directly integrated into Luo Feng’s consciousness. This information detailed the Secret Pattern Weapon. It was called the ‘Sky-Lock Arm,’ one of fewer than a hundred Secret Pattern Weapons existing in the cosmos, taking the form of an armguard. Our clan’s most powerful and mysterious aspect is the ‘Sacrificial Patterns.’ This was a special path forward, accidentally discovered and comprehended by our ancestral powerhouses in a cosmic secret realm, and it is the most suitable path for our clan. The sacrificial towers you ride, for instance, are the most basic application of Sacrificial Patterns. Within the sacrificial towers are countless Sacrificial Patterns, ultimately forming various abilities such as detection repulsion and spatial lockdown. However, these are ‘Solid Patterns,’ requiring a carrier and having significant limitations. They cannot be effectively used in combat. Thus, our ancestors eventually created the more powerful ‘Void Patterns.’ Each Secret Pattern Weapon contains Void Patterns formed by complex structures. Once an energy source is provided, these Void Patterns can disperse into the void. The entire spread area becomes the control range. ‘Energy sources’ are best provided by Immortal God Power Crystals. Never use your own Immortal God Power, as Secret Pattern Weapons are immensely powerful and consume an astonishing amount of energy. This consumption is absolute and complete. Using your own Immortal God Power would be akin to burning your Immortal God Body, which is highly inadvisable. There are various Immortal God Power Crystals in the cosmos; the stronger the energy contained, the longer the usage time. The ‘Sky-Lock Arm’ functions by spreading ‘Void Patterns’ over an area, completely locking down spatial fluctuations within that region. Teleportation is impossible! Therefore, the ‘Sky-Lock Arm’ is a nightmare for those who wield spatial laws. Of course, it also affects the user. The user themselves cannot teleport! Thus... the Sky-Lock Arm is best suited for powerhouses who cultivate time laws. For powerful time-law users who can employ ‘Time Stop,’ while their opponents cannot teleport... the advantage is naturally immense. The Sky-Lock Arm, because it contains Void Patterns internally. Therefore, as long as the Sky-Lock Arm is carried, a certain range around the user will be ‘spatially locked.’ This is far more effective than sacrificial towers. Sacrificial towers have limited space, are difficult to move with the user, and combat can easily damage their structure and Solid Patterns. Void Patterns, however, are indestructible. The Sky-Lock Arm’s spread range can be divided into three tiers. One, an area with a radius of 10,000 kilometers. Two, an area with a radius of 100,000 kilometers. Three, an area with a radius of 1,000,000 kilometers. The larger the spread area, the geometrically greater the energy consumption. Given that the Sky-Lock Arm’s energy consumption is exceptionally astonishing, it should only be used against true enemies, in life-or-death battles. Do not misuse it casually. May the future powerhouses of our clan... wield this Secret Pattern Weapon to protect our people and allow our clan to rise! “Holy crap!” “Holy crap!” “Holy crap!” Luo Feng felt his head buzz with heat, so excited he was dazed, uttering “Holy crap!” three times in a row! “I, I, I, I’ve truly turned my fortunes around, a massive turnaround, truly massive.” Luo Feng sensed the information in his mind, his heart overflowing with excitement. The struggle for this sacrificial tower treasure was truly worth it. When he first entered the sacrificial tower and discovered the unique patterns within, Luo Feng had already coveted them. Fighting within the sacrificial tower, he could gain every advantage. However, if the scale of battle grew too large, the sacrificial tower would be damaged, and its limited space meant Luo Feng could only dream of such a scenario. “Secret Pattern Weapon? Sacrificial Patterns?” “It’s a path of power, accidentally discovered and comprehended by the ancestral powerhouses of the Yan Ji Continent’s indigenous people in a cosmic secret realm?” Luo Feng praised, “Truly formidable, with both Solid Patterns and Void Patterns.” The three World Rings from the sacrificial tower treasure, especially the last one, truly brought Luo Feng immense surprise. ... “Let’s try it,” Luo Feng said, his curiosity piqued, extending his left arm. Whoosh! The Sky-Lock Arm directly adhered to Luo Feng’s left arm and partially merged into his skin. Simultaneously, its hazy, starlit black surface suddenly cracked open with a ‘click,’ revealing an energy slot inside the Sky-Lock Arm. “‘Requires Immortal God Power Crystals with extremely high energy?’ Luo Feng smiled. ‘I still have two Fire God Origin Crystals, each worth 200 million points. If one were detonated, it could rival the self-detonation of an initial-stage King-level being.’” Fire God Origin Crystals, Thunder God Origin Crystals, and so on... These were originally highly condensed crystals of Immortal God Power, perfectly usable as energy sources, and could also be directly detonated! In fact, when the Machine Race first designed them, they were intended to provide incredibly pure and powerful energy for large-scale instruments. Who would have thought that later, in cosmic battles, many powerhouses would discover their wondrous uses, leading Fire God Origin Crystals and similar items to be primarily used as explosive weapons. Snap. Luo Feng flipped his hand and placed a Fire God Origin Crystal into the slot, which only occupied one-third of the slot’s space. Hiss, hiss~~ The inside of the slot instantly tightened, and energy flowed smoothly. Click! The outer layer closed and sealed again. The entire armguard was perfectly seamless. “Haha...” Luo Feng thought, and his silver armor automatically covered the armguard, protecting it well. In truth, the Sky-Lock Arm’s material was incredibly expensive to manufacture, far harder and stronger than the chain treasure chest, making it extremely difficult for even Universe Venerables to damage. “Sky-Lock!” The Sky-Lock Arm had already recognized its master, so Luo Feng naturally controlled it with ease. “Minimum range, a 10,000-kilometer radius area, spatial lockdown,” Luo Feng easily activated. With the 200-million-point Fire God Origin Crystal as its energy source, the Secret Pattern Weapon ‘Sky-Lock Arm’ had an abundance of energy and was instantly activated. “Buzz~~~” Centered on the Sky-Lock Arm, an invisible, strange energy instantly surged outwards in all directions. This was a type of fluctuation very similar to cosmic spatial fluctuations, yet distinct. The void within a 10,000-kilometer radius. The sky, mountains, grasslands, and even the underground soil... all contained faint, ethereal Void Sacrificial Patterns. These Sacrificial Patterns were Void Patterns, appearing and disappearing. Even if one were to punch them, it would only hit empty air, because they were ‘Void Patterns,’ fundamentally indestructible. To destroy it, one would have to destroy the Sky-Lock Arm itself. “Haha...” Luo Feng revealed a look of pleasant surprise, glancing around, looking up at the sky, and down at the earth. Truly. With his Demon Killer Clan clone’s precise perception of cosmic space, he could clearly sense that the cosmic space within a 10,000-kilometer radius was completely locked down, devoid of any spatial fluctuations, making teleportation utterly impossible.
