Chapter 973
Jiuyou Space-time
While the Demon Killer Clan clone's direct combat abilities might not match certain special lifeforms like Yinmou, its talent for assassination and stealth is absolutely top-tier in the universe. Whoosh. The Demon Killer Clan clone instantly vanished, transforming into a metal shard hidden within the interlayer of Luo Feng's armguard battle armor. "With the Demon Killer Clan clone, is there anywhere in this vast universe I cannot go?" Luo Feng was overjoyed, his spirit soaring. After all, the Demon Killer Clan clone's ordinary teleportation ability already rivaled that of a Universe Venerable, albeit with a slightly shorter range. And its innate secret technique, 'Domain,' was a heaven-defying ability that couldn't be acquired even if one wished to cultivate it. "Before, it would have taken me nearly ten days to reach Jiuyou Space-time. Now, with the Demon Killer Clan clone's single teleportation covering about 100 light-years, I can bypass many dangerous areas directly. Haha, I'll reach Jiuyou Space-time in half a day!" Luo Feng waved his hand, storing Extreme Rainbow King into his World Ring. With a whoosh, he then vanished into the void. Even in the Ancestral God Mystery Land, there were few dangerous areas spanning hundreds of light-years. Even if there were, Luo Feng could simply bypass them. Half a day later. Luo Feng appeared in the void, his silver wings spread, gazing at a distant expanse of space-time. "Jiuyou Space-time," Luo Feng murmured softly. In that distant, hazy expanse of space-time, the sea surged. At least from the outside, Jiuyou Space-time appeared as an endless water world. "Who would have thought that within this Jiuyou Space-time, with a mere 12 light-year diameter, there are several beings known to us inheritors who possess the combat power of a Universe Master?" Luo Feng sighed softly. "Countless treasures are hidden here, and generations of inheritors, feeling hopeless, come here to explore and seek treasures, but the vast majority perish." "I hope luck is on my side, protecting me so I can obtain a branch or leaf from the World Tree this time." Luo Feng's eyes were filled with longing and fighting spirit. If I could have a World Tree as a clone, my future prospects would be boundless. The innate secret technique 'Control Space-time,' the blessing of a God Kingdom, and an immensely powerful divine body—these were all things Luo Feng yearned for. Whoosh. Luo Feng vanished into thin air, teleporting directly into Jiuyou Space-time. Quiet, dim mountain ranges stretched endlessly. The mountains were devoid of any vegetation or leaves, only desolate rocks. The only thing adding a touch of brightness to the mountains was the waterfall, cascading from a great height into the pool below, from which streams flowed in all directions. In a canyon filled with desolate rocks, a stream gurgled. Whoosh! Luo Feng, clad in silver armor and silver wings, appeared out of thin air. "Finally here," Luo Feng said, a smile appearing on his face as he surveyed the desolate rocks around him. "Barren Stone Island!" Although Jiuyou Space-time was rife with danger, there were still some safe havens, at least allowing inheritors a foothold. 'Barren Stone Island' was one such famous safe zone. Throughout endless ages, no danger had ever been found on Barren Stone Island, nor had any inheritor been attacked by the terrifying entities of Jiuyou Space-time here. "Safe, but also desolate. Nothing but water and rocks," Luo Feng shook his head. Whoosh! Transforming into a silver streak, Luo Feng swiftly flew above the mountain range. "Remains," Luo Feng murmured, looking down. Seeing some battle armor wreckage in the mountains, he secretly shook his head. "The inheritors who died here were likely killed by other inheritors." Although Barren Stone Island was the safest place in all of Jiuyou Space-time, free from the terrifying native inhabitants, internal struggles and killings among inheritors for treasures were common. He flew for hundreds of millions of kilometers. "Ha!" Luo Feng crossed the highest mountain and saw the mesmerizing scenery in the distance. "So beautiful," Luo Feng praised. Standing at the peak of Barren Stone Island's highest mountain, Luo Feng gazed into the distance. Beyond the island lay an endless ocean, stretching as far as the eye could see. At first glance, it was azure, then it turned purple, then blood-red, then transparent like crystal, then golden-yellow, silver-white, dark gray, azure again... The colors shifted constantly, wonderfully unique. "This is the Jiuyou Sea," Luo Feng sighed with emotion. Jiuyou Space-time was primarily an endless ocean, dotted with islands of varying sizes, inhabited by native creatures. Some islands were home to terrifying entities, such as the 'World Tree,' which resided on one such immensely vast island, named 'Tree Island' by the inheritors. Barren Stone Island was minuscule, one of the most common small islands among the thousands in the Jiuyou Sea. Tree Island, however, was far larger, ranking among the top ten super islands in the Jiuyou Sea. "The Jiuyou Sea is vast and boundless, and equally fraught with hidden dangers," Luo Feng mused. "Besides the super islands, the Jiuyou Sea itself is terrifying, especially the Jiuyou Whirlpools. It's said that once caught in a Jiuyou Whirlpool, there's almost no hope of survival." Luo Feng looked up, gazing in one direction. Based on the coordinates, that direction was towards Tree Island, but the distance was too vast. Luo Feng could only see the endless ocean, not Tree Island itself. "It's all up to the Demon Killer Clan clone now," he thought. "Even if the Demon Killer Clan clone fails, it can be re-birthed," Luo Feng nodded slightly. Whoosh, a Black-Clad Luo Feng appeared out of thin air beside him. The Black-Clad Luo Feng's body shifted, transforming directly into the appearance of an inheritor. Immediately after, the Demon Killer Clan clone activated its teleportation. With a single teleportation... it easily crossed the Jiuyou Sea and arrived at Tree Island. "Now, we wait for news," Luo Feng's main body nodded slightly, then swiftly flew into a cave in one of the mountain peaks, activating a miniature detector to conceal himself. High in the sky. The Demon Killer Clan clone hovered in the air, looking at the infinitely vast island hundreds of millions of kilometers ahead. "Truly beautiful. Barren Stone Island is utterly hideous compared to this," the Demon Killer Clan clone mused, squinting at the beautiful scenery on Tree Island. "Yet this place, like a fairyland, is so terrifying." Tree Island was covered in all sorts of plants, a true sanctuary for flora. Here was an ocean of purple flowers, there an ocean of colorful flowers, or perhaps a sea of undulating leaves... The scenery was incomparably beautiful. The most dazzling sight was the towering tree that shot skyward. This tree was exceptionally tall, its entire body emerald green, its crown like a magnificent canopy. Each leaf was crystal clear, like a carved gemstone, like a jade-green emerald. Endless life energy was contained within it, causing countless surrounding flowers and plants to sway. "The Strongest World Tree, a Universe Venerable-level special lifeform possessing the combat power of a Universe Master. Although there are nine World Trees, this one is the strongest," the Demon Killer Clan clone thought, gazing at the Strongest World Tree deep within Tree Island, incredibly far away. Although it was deep within Tree Island, it was simply too massive. Standing 590 million kilometers tall, with a crown diameter exceeding 1 billion kilometers, its crown alone was larger than the entire Barren Stone Island. Coupled with its trunk, which resembled a giant emerald faintly emitting light, it was truly dazzling. "Three Immortal-level World Trees." "Five Sector Lord-level World Trees." The Demon Killer Clan clone immediately spotted the other eight World Trees surrounding the Strongest World Tree. They varied in height; the taller ones were Immortal-level, while the shorter ones were Sector Lord-level. Even the Sector Lord-level ones were 60 million kilometers tall... surpassing any other non-World Tree plant life on this island. "Although many plants on Tree Island are ordinary flowers and grasses, there are also many other plant lifeforms," the Demon Killer Clan clone observed, a slight frown on its brow. "The strongest on Tree Island are the World Trees, but other plant lifeforms also include Immortal-level beings, and according to the data, even Universe Venerable-level plant lifeforms. Due to their different species, their sizes are far inferior to the World Trees, making them seem inconspicuous. But if I enter Tree Island, I might be attacked if I'm not careful." "So, I must first avoid other plant lifeforms." "I'll deal with them once I reach the World Tree." The Demon Killer Clan clone no longer hesitated. Whoosh! With a direct teleportation, it entered Tree Island. Tree Island revered the World Tree, and was home to a vast number of other plant lifeforms. Most of these plant lifeforms were common species, with only a very few being 'special lifeforms.' However, many of them possessed strength that could pose a threat to the Demon Killer Clan clone. "They can't see me, they can't see me, they won't notice me, they won't notice me," it chanted internally. A fist-sized, fluffy dandelion-like seed drifted in the air, carried by the wind. This was the form the Demon Killer Clan clone had transformed into. Luo Feng couldn't think of a safer method, as plant lifeforms generally disliked moving, preferring to remain rooted in the soil. If it transformed into a plant and then moved? It would definitely attract attention. One must know that some powerful plant lifeforms possessed extremely high intelligence, especially Immortal-level plant lifeforms, whose wisdom was no less than that of humans. Luo Feng also dared not teleport directly beside the World Tree. Because that was the territory of a 'Universe Master-level combatant.' Teleporting directly beside it would surely alert the Strongest World Tree to the Demon Killer Clan clone's presence. "I'll float and float, until I reach the World Tree." The fluffy seed drifted leisurely in the air. "So slow, this floating speed is truly slow," the fluffy seed thought. It was already trying its best to approach the World Tree's area at maximum speed. But it couldn't act out of character, could it? Like flying against the wind? Or flying at sub-light speed? If it did that, it would surely be easily discovered, and once discovered, all hope would be lost. "I have plenty of patience." "I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry." "As long as I get to the World Tree, close to it, and hopefully it has a fallen leaf, I'll just grab one and leave. I'm not greedy at all." The Demon Killer Clan clone muttered to itself. The fluffy seed it had transformed into continued to drift... drift... drift... On this quiet Tree Island, like a paradise, amidst countless drifting plant seeds, the fluffy seed was completely inconspicuous, drifting leisurely. "Too slow!!!" After drifting for three months, looking at the still distant World Tree, the fluffy seed howled internally.
