Spatial Vortex

“Nine World Trees living together is indeed a bit troublesome, but I only need one World Tree leaf anyway, so there’s still hope,” Luo Feng mused inwardly. In truth, Luo Feng had another concern. The place where the nine World Trees resided was extremely unique, no less special than the continuous mountain range beside it. The nine World Trees lived in the ‘Nine Serenity Space-Time’. The Nine Serenity Space-Time wasn't as vast as the adjacent mountain range, with a diameter of 12 light-years, yet it was one of the most terrifying and dangerous places in the Ancestral God Mystery Land. According to the intelligence Luo Feng had gathered, there were several beings with Universe Master-level combat power on the surface alone! The territory occupied by the nine World Trees was merely one corner of that space-time, with several other powerful special lifeforms occupying their own territories. This was merely the surface information. The Ancestral God Sect also specifically warned its inheritors about eight of the most dangerous places, where even Universe Masters could become trapped forever. The ‘Nine Serenity Space-Time’ was among them. The Universe Master-level beings discovered by generations of inheritors were likely just the superficial threats. “I must be careful.” “Even Universe Masters can be lost forever in Nine Serenity Space-Time. As a small fry, I should keep a low profile. If there’s danger, I’ll send my Demon Killer Clan clone. Even if the Demon Killer Clan clone is destroyed… my internal world can re-condense another Demon Killer Clan clone. But if my Earthling true body is destroyed and trapped in an extremely dangerous place, I might not even be able to retrieve my Supreme Treasures.” Luo Feng was indeed a little nervous; there was no helping it, the Nine Serenity Space-Time’s reputation was too great. “No pain, no gain.” “I’ll be cautious and careful. With my clone abilities and the Demon Killer Clan clone, I refuse to believe I can’t even get a single World Tree leaf.” The Nine Serenity Space-Time was extremely dangerous, yet it was a place inheritors frequently visited. Why? Because they weren't afraid of death! Throughout history, inheritors who couldn't break through their bottlenecks were forced to gamble in dangerous places! Although the Nine Serenity Space-Time was extremely perilous, it was also a place abundant with treasures. While large numbers of inheritors perished there, many also gained immense wealth. In the Nine Serenity Space-Time, accidentally acquiring a certain treasure could be comparable to a Supreme Treasure, enough to drive Universe Venerables to frantic pursuit. Historically, there were many, many inheritors, but now only over a hundred million remain. Aside from those who died elsewhere, the vast majority perished in the Secret Regions. … Luo Feng casually ate some food, relaxing his mind and body. Half an hour later, he once again transformed into a streak of light, flying along the edge of the mountain range into the depths of the void, sometimes flying, sometimes teleporting, proceeding cautiously all the way. … At the highest point of Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe, in the palace amidst endless currents of air. The Chaos City Lord, clad in golden robes, stood before the palace, overlooking the vast Thunder Island below. Thunder Island was dotted with palaces, home to countless Immortal Gods of the Virtual Universe Company. The lowest levels were inhabited by Immortals. In the center of the massive Thunder Island was a mountain range, with palaces on its slopes housing Universe Venerables, and the peak, completely shrouded in endless currents of air, was where Universe Masters resided, invisible from below. The Chaos City Lord’s palace, however, was at the very top. From his high vantage point, he could see the entire Thunder Island at a glance, and even the distant, floating Yuxiang Mountain. He could even clearly see the core disciples diligently cultivating and listening to powerful beings lecture on Yuxiang Mountain. “I wonder if my disciple will be able to safely obtain a branch or a leaf of the World Tree this time,” Chaos City Lord murmured to himself. “To choose the World Tree as his third clone, his ambition is truly vast. But which super-being doesn’t have great ambition?” “Although it’s quite dangerous, he at least possesses the innate clone ability, so I’m not worried about him perishing.” “Nine Serenity Space-Time…” “I’ve never even been there. It’s the Ancestral God Sect’s territory. Many crucial areas are simply forbidden to our six major races. Their treasures are only allowed to be obtained by their own Ancestral God Sect powerhouses,” Chaos City Lord said. While Nine Serenity Space-Time was well-known and seemingly dangerous, it wasn't truly dangerous to the Axe Creator. The Axe Creator could completely go there, sweep it clean, and take all the treasures from Nine Serenity Space-Time. If that happened, the three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Sect would surely be enraged! The Ancestral God Mystery Land was their territory, and many special lifeforms had long since pledged allegiance to the Ancestral God Sect. The three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Sect could have taken all the treasures, but they didn't, because they wanted to cultivate future disciples. After all, those treasures were useless to them personally. Those inheritors cultivated by the Ancestral God Sect, if they encountered special opportunities, would eventually be absorbed as peripheral members. They would serve as enforcers for the Ancestral God Sect. As for the six peak races, and forces like the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance and Northern Territory Alliance wanting to enter, that was a pipe dream! “Luo Feng, it’s all up to you.” “You need strength, intelligence, and luck.” “We’ll see if your internal world can nurture that World Tree clone.” Chaos City Lord knew that the results would be known within a month or two. As for whether Luo Feng’s internal world could nurture a World Tree clone, he wasn't entirely sure. This was because the limit for the Golden Horned Beast’s internal world to nurture a clone was roughly ten to a hundred times its own size. And that Universe Lord-level World Tree… was two tiers lower than the strongest World Tree, so it might just be at the nurturing limit of his internal world. “Luck.” “It all depends on whether he has the destiny to nurture a World Tree clone.” A hint of anticipation flickered in Chaos City Lord’s eyes. … Luo Feng advanced cautiously, avoiding all dangerous areas. Even if he discovered places that might contain treasures, he didn't go there. His goal was the World Tree in the ‘Nine Serenity Space-Time’. Luo Feng didn't want any unnecessary complications; in the Ancestral God Mystery Land, treasures meant danger! And danger also meant treasures! “Whoosh!” Luo Feng transformed into a streak of light, soaring through the air. His large and miniature detectors continuously scanned the surroundings. In safe areas, he would rapidly teleport. Approximately 0.8 light-years away from Luo Feng. A vast, empty void, devoid of any celestial bodies. Flying and teleporting, Luo Feng reached this spot an hour later. “The data describes this void, with a diameter of about 10 light-years, as having some hidden dangers,” Luo Feng looked at the endless void ahead. “But there’s no other way. According to the information I’ve gathered, the route I’m taking now should be the safest one. Even the safest route must pass through 12 relatively dangerous areas to reach Nine Serenity Space-Time.” To reach Nine Serenity Space-Time and create an absolutely safe route? That was impossible. After all, Luo Feng was too weak. Many places that weren't dangerous for Universe Venerables were dangerous for him. This void was one such place. Universe Venerables could charge straight through or teleport across this area. Luo Feng’s teleportation limit was only about 1 light-year, so he couldn't cross it in one go. “Be careful, be cautious.” Luo Feng activated his World Projection to more thoroughly detect dangers. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Each teleportation landed within the range of his World Projection, covering tens of millions of kilometers in a single jump. In the blink of an eye, he had teleported hundreds of times. After continuously teleporting short distances of tens of millions of kilometers for nearly 1 light-year, Luo Feng finally stopped to rest. “Such short-distance teleportation is truly—” Luo Feng shook his head. Ahead was still an endless void, stretching as far as the eye could see. “Buzz~~~” Out of nowhere, without any warning. A spatial vortex, roughly tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter, appeared around Luo Feng. The powerful oppressive force generated by the spatial vortex made Luo Feng feel like a small fishing boat caught in a hurricane at sea, utterly unable to break free. “Shi Wu Wings.” Luo Feng’s wings rapidly unfurled. Driving the Shi Wu Wings, with his current comprehension of laws, the originally incredibly complex Shi Wu Wings, which were a network of countless threads, now transformed. Back in the Outer Battlefield, Luo Feng could only activate the outermost layer of the Shi Wu Wings’ transformations, its first form. Now, as Luo Feng activated more threads of law, the Shi Wu Wings actually *hissed*! *Hissed*! *Hissed*! All the edges of the wings extended, thinned, and turned golden. Previously, each feather of the wings resembled an ordinary feather, only sharp at the edges. But now, each feather was thin, long, and razor-sharp, like countless slender battle blades arranged in a row. Silver wings, with golden edges. “Slash!” With just a single flap of the Shi Wu Wings, the countless feather-blades at the edges sliced through space. Guided by the spatial power of the Shi Wu Wings, terrifying spatial turbulence was directly formed. “Break for me!” Trapped in the spatial vortex, Luo Feng struggled fiercely. The spatial vortex completely isolated him from the outside, making even teleportation impossible. Luo Feng could only rely on his Shi Wu Wings to destroy the spatial vortex. “Bang!” In just two seconds, the spatial vortex dissipated like smoke. Luo Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but looking around, he couldn't help but be startled. “Where… where is this?” Around him was a vast land, covered in various colorful flowers and trees, their fragrance wafting through the air. In the distance, a mountain range obscured the view. The sky above this land, however, was enveloped in a layer of green gas. “Check the cosmic coordinates,” Luo Feng checked his coordinates and was astonished to find, “I… I’m actually 300 light-years away from that void area?” “That spatial vortex was a natural passage?” Luo Feng frowned, looking around. The sudden spatial vortex had disrupted his plan. Fortunately, according to the cosmic coordinates, this place was actually closer to the Nine Serenity Space-Time. If he could get out, he estimated he could reach Nine Serenity Space-Time within ten days. “Where is this place? My collected intelligence… doesn’t describe this location.” Luo Feng looked around, his eyes filled with vigilance. An unknown place, and one he arrived at through a naturally occurring spatial vortex, meant this unknown region was definitely not ordinary, with a very high probability of hidden dangers. Both his large and miniature detectors began scanning.
