Inside Luo Feng’s dwelling.

Motosa and Mo Yuqingyan, a pair who were master and disciple in all but name, were enjoying a meal.

“Qingyan,” Motosa said, happily gnawing on a large piece of meat, “Your master is now a Transcendence of the Chaos Realm. The resources he casually bestows upon you are things even Eternal True Gods cannot obtain. As a mere Void True God, you must seize this opportunity and not let down your master’s painstaking efforts.”

“I understand,” Mo Yuqingyan replied, knowing that as a disciple of a Transcendence of the Chaos Realm, his own strength was indeed too weak.

“And another thing!” Motosa continued, “In Chudu, you’ve been invited to many banquets, and many daughters of prominent clans are infatuated with you… You need to stay clear-headed, young man.”

Mo Yuqingyan offered a weak smile.

The fact that some daughters of major clans were openly throwing themselves at him did make Mo Yuqingyan, who came from a small place like Huyang City, feel a little stirred.

“For cultivators, life is infinite, and women are not essential,” Motosa stated. “Look at me, look at Yuan, look at your master! None of us have women by our sides! Why? Women will affect your focus on cultivation!”

Mo Yuqingyan was taken aback.

It was true! His master, Lord Motosa, Lord Yuan — none of them had women.

“Cultivation requires focus!” Motosa emphasized.

“But there are also many cultivators who marry,” Mo Yuqingyan couldn’t help but say. During his time in Chudu, two of the daughters from prominent clans had indeed captivated his heart.

“You understand the principles; decide for yourself,” Motosa said, rising.

Mo Yuqingyan remained seated alone.

He had seen many couples, like his own parents, who would risk their lives for each other and had raised their children together through thick and thin.

“I should wait a bit longer, and see,” Mo Yuqingyan decided. He felt his judgment had been clouded recently, making it difficult to discern the true intentions of those women.

Motosa walked out and immediately saw his master, Luo Feng, descending from high above.

“Master,” Motosa greeted, hurrying over.

“Follow me,” Luo Feng said with a mysterious smile.

Seeing his master’s smile, Motosa’s heart stirred. He quickly suppressed his excitement and followed his master to the quiet room.

The quiet room was a space on one of the levels within the Star Tower, Motosa’s exclusive cultivation area.

Luo Feng and Motosa were both there now.

“I went out this time and killed a top-tier Chaos Realm expert,” Luo Feng said, looking at Motosa. “He cultivated the Grand Dao of Life Source, and his physical body was quite unique.”

With a wave of his hand, the colossal corpse of Great Sage Beiyu appeared in that space.

Motosa’s eyes immediately lit up upon seeing it.

He could feel the terrifying aura of the corpse, which was many times stronger than the meager chaotic bloodline Xue Yun had managed to break through with just before his death.

“You killed a Chaos Realm expert, and there’s a corpse,” Motosa said, surprised and delighted.

Normally, if an opponent had a resurrection vessel, even a sliver of consciousness or a single thought would be enough to completely disintegrate their true body.

That’s why the corpse of a Chaos Realm expert was extremely rare.

“My progress has been slow since I became a Chaos Realm expert,” Motosa admitted. “I could only rely on absorbing the power of heaven and earth. This time, I can finally make a significant leap in strength.”

Motosa’s speed in absorbing the power of heaven and earth was not slow; he could absorb the energy reserves of a ‘Chaos Realm Perfect Divine Body’ in about an epoch. However, the power of heaven and earth was pure energy and provided limited assistance.

In contrast, the corpse of a powerful being contained their own laws, which greatly aided the growth of the ‘realm’ within his body.

“Take your time cultivating,” Luo Feng said with a smile, then left that space.

Motosa immediately activated a secret technique. Great Sage Beiyu’s massive corpse began to be absorbed and digested by Motosa. The insights into the Grand Dao of Life Source contained within the corpse also began to integrate into Motosa’s ‘realm,’ causing the realm to grow, albeit incredibly slowly.

As his realm grew, Motosa naturally comprehended more mysteries of the Grand Dao of Destruction.

Normal cultivators would focus on specific branches of the Grand Dao of Destruction. Motosa, however, was comprehending every branch simultaneously, making comprehensive progress.

The Star Tower, Luo Feng’s exclusive cultivation space.

Luo Feng, meanwhile, began to study the ‘Seventy-Two Annihilation Blades’.

Previously, Luo Feng had never received a God-King level legacy for the Grand Dao of Destruction. The ‘Nine Blades of World Breaking’ he had cultivated before was created by a Chaos Realm expert who hadn’t even fully comprehended a single branch of the Grand Dao of Destruction. The blade techniques left behind… only made Luo Feng more confused when he studied them.

Even with Luo Feng’s powerful spiritual will, and his ability to comprehend some of the mysteries of the Grand Dao of Destruction demonstrated by Motosa, his progress remained slow.

“This is what a Grand Dao legacy truly is!”

Carefully studying the first volume of ‘Seventy-Two Annihilation Blades’, which contained extensive legacy information about the ‘Sky-Splitting Lineage’, brought tears to Luo Feng’s eyes.

The creator of ‘Seventy-Two Annihilation Blades’ was of an incredibly high realm. He explained the ‘Sky-Splitting Lineage’ from various angles with remarkable clarity. Many of Luo Feng’s confusions since becoming a Chaos Realm expert naturally vanished.

Luo Feng’s understanding of the Sky-Splitting Lineage was constantly improving.

Luo Feng studied slowly, carefully examining each sentence in the legacy before moving to the next. With such meticulous study, it took him well over half an epoch to thoroughly research both the ‘Sky-Splitting Lineage’ and the ‘Dark Sky Lineage’.

After reviewing them once, Luo Feng felt completely transformed.

“So, this is how the Sky-Splitting Lineage and the Dark Sky Lineage are,” Luo Feng mused. Before, he had seen them through a haze of confusion, but now he clearly understood the paths of these two lineages. He had even comprehended a significant portion of the Sky-Splitting Lineage, which he had studied most deeply.

Of course, this was the easier part to understand; the more profound sections were far more difficult! Many peak Chaos Realm experts were stuck at the final bottleneck, with that last step preventing them from becoming God-Kings.

“A truly top-tier legacy provides immense help,” Luo Feng realized. Before becoming a Chaos Realm expert, he had never worried about legacies. At that time, the legacies of the Duan Donghe lineage and his master Zuoshankui’s lineage were sufficient for his comprehension. He hadn’t truly empathized with the many Eternal True Gods who yearned for a legacy.

It was only after becoming a Chaos Realm expert that he truly felt the difference a legacy made!

Luo Feng sat there, gently slicing through space with his hand, as if a knife was cutting through tofu, effortlessly parting layer after layer of spatial dimensions.

“By understanding the operation of rules, a single effort can yield tens of thousands, even millions of times the effect. This is the Dao,” Luo Feng said with a smile.

Suddenly—

A mighty torrent of Milky Way blade-lights appeared in this space within the Star Tower. Twenty thousand ‘Yin-Yang Particle Form’ blade-lights, radiating terrifying power, each now unleashed the ‘Blade River Slash’.

The Blade River Slash was the simplest Chaos Realm blade technique Luo Feng had managed to create, deliberately simplified to minimize mental burden.

“Boom!” In this layer of space within the Star Tower, the spatial layers were completely annihilated, turning into chaos, with only the sturdy world membrane remaining.

“The Blade River Slash can be even simpler and purer.”

With his deeper understanding of the Sky-Splitting Lineage and the Dark Sky Lineage, Luo Feng began to integrate these insights into the Blade River Slash, modifying the move so that it gradually incorporated simple applications of both lineages.

Even these most superficial applications put very little mental strain on him, yet surprisingly, the power increased slightly.

“Let’s see how many ‘Blade River Slashes’ I can unleash simultaneously now,” Luo Feng thought.

Thirty thousand Milky Way blade-lights tore through the space.

Forty thousand Milky Way blade-lights, fifty thousand Milky Way blade-lights…

It wasn’t until he reached eighty-three thousand Milky Way blade-lights that Luo Feng felt a significant mental strain.

“Studying ‘Seventy-Two Annihilation Blades’ for over half an epoch, and the comprehension of the Sky-Splitting Lineage and Dark Sky Lineage, allowed me to control so many blade-lights?” Luo Feng was delighted. This increased his power several times over compared to before.

“If both my Sky-Splitting Lineage and Dark Sky Lineage reach the peak of the Chaos Realm, how many blade-lights could I control with such high understanding?” Luo Feng was curious about his limits at the Chaos Realm level.

“Hm?”

Luo Feng suddenly looked at the space around him, a hint of shock and confusion in his eyes.

“My Milky Way blade-lights have improved several-fold this time. Compared to beings at the initial God-King level, the profoundness might still be lacking, but the pure ‘might’ is definitely not inferior,” Luo Feng knew this well.

A single unit of Milky Way blade-light in Yin-Yang Particle Form, unleashing ‘Blade River Slash’, was comparable to the full-power strike of a mid-tier Chaos Realm expert, burning their divine power to the limit.

Eighty-three thousand such powerful experts combining their might? The sheer power would absolutely not be inferior to a first-tier God-King.

“The Star Tower was forged by my master. My master is only a first-tier God-King, so the Star Tower he forged… should only be a first-tier God-King secret treasure,” Luo Feng mused. “Like the long staff I obtained from Marquis Chu Yuan earlier, that was also a first-tier God-King weapon.”

“As a first-tier God-King secret treasure, the Star Tower should indeed be able to withstand my full-power strike. But it should feel some pressure, right?”

“But…”

“I’ve unleashed full-power attacks time and again, and the Star Tower shows no sign of pressure at all.”

Luo Feng’s previous strength wasn’t sufficient to notice this, but as he approached the first-tier God-King level, he discovered this anomaly.

Luo Feng stepped to an inner wall of the Star Tower and punched it. The wall merely vibrated slightly and easily dissipated the impact. Luo Feng gradually increased his explosive power, his punches growing heavier and heavier.

Finally, Luo Feng unleashed the full force of his tens of billions of units of transformed power.

Wielding eighty-three thousand units of Milky Way blade-lights, Luo Feng could execute the Chaos Realm level move, ‘Blade River Slash’. But when he unleashed tens of billions of units of transformed power, Luo Feng could only use the crudest moves, yet the power was immense as it pounded against the tower wall.

The tower wall still only vibrated slightly, easily deflecting the impact.

“What? My full-power close-combat strikes against the wall can’t even shake it slightly?” Luo Feng couldn’t believe it.

“This means if I were trapped inside, I wouldn’t be able to escape at all.”

“Even beings ten or a hundred times stronger than me might not be able to get out if trapped here.” As the master of the Star Tower, Luo Feng could sense that his attacks were still very, very far from the Star Tower’s limit of endurance.

How far, he couldn’t say precisely. He only knew that even with his current full-power output, the Star Tower felt no pressure whatsoever.

Luo Feng couldn’t believe it: “A first-tier God-King secret treasure couldn’t possibly be this strong!”

This defied common sense.

A first-tier God-King secret treasure, when suppressing a being of the same level, would require significant divine power and effort to keep them contained.

“My master, Zuoshankui, as far as I know, is merely a lord of a peripheral nation in the Origin Continent,” Luo Feng pondered. “Master mentioned to me that there was an accident during the Star Tower’s forging process, where a golden light merged into it, accelerating the Star Tower’s formation…”

Back when Luo Feng discussed this with his master, he hadn’t noticed any issue.

But now, recalling it…

For a God-King, who exercised extremely strict control over their environment during artifact forging, for an accident to occur, allowing a foreign object to merge into the Star Tower? Clearly, the appearance of this foreign object surpassed the God-King’s control over the environment.

“This Star Tower…” Luo Feng carefully sensed it. As a secret treasure that had accompanied him for a long time, this was the first time Luo Feng found it to be somewhat mysterious.
