Chapter 258: Episode Six – The Eye of Life and Death

Luo Feng examined each treasure one by one. Besides the “Eye of Life and Death,” there was another treasure that suited both the path of life and the path of destruction.

The secret treasure, “Heart of Immortality,” required 43,000 reward points for exchange. It possessed the characteristics of being indestructible and having infinite vitality. Furthermore, it could enhance the physical body, additionally condensing an extremely powerful battle form, making it suitable for cultivation in both the paths of life and destruction.

In the entire treasure vault, only these two treasures simultaneously suited the paths of life and destruction.

“This one is much cheaper,” Luo Feng mused, slightly tempted, “However, it’s also quite good.”

Many secret treasures within the Infinite Space treasure vault possessed conceptual abilities. Therefore, Di Qing and the others speculated that they should all have been refined by Hunyuan lifeforms who had broken free from the cage.

“Treasures above one hundred thousand reward points all aid in breaking free from the cage.”

“Of these treasures that aid in breaking free from the cage, two-thirds cannot be taken out of the Origin World.”

Luo Feng gazed at the information.

In particular, the powerful treasures refined from the corpses of Hunyuan Ancestors and World-level Hunyuan lifeforms could not be taken out.

“One can see that Senior Yuan and the others truly hope that the younger generations can break free from the cage,” Luo Feng thought.

The Infinite Space, targeting both mental will and the opening of the Great Dao, selected numerous dazzling geniuses from the various Origin Worlds and gifted them with inheritances and treasures.

Senior Yuan and the others didn’t receive any benefits from this.

Perhaps the only benefit… was that the younger generations would have a few more who could break free from the cage!

“I only have a little over 180,000 reward points in total. What should I exchange for?” Luo Feng pondered.

He still needed to consider the exchange for future inheritances, so the reward points he could use weren’t that many.

He carefully reviewed the treasure vault information.

“I’m uncertain whether I’ll be able to obtain rewards for mental will in the future.”

“But as long as I master the complete Great Dao of Life and Death, there should still be reward points,” Luo Feng decided. Mastering the complete Great Dao of Life and Death was certainly extremely difficult, but it was still many times easier than breaking free from the cage.

If he couldn’t even completely master the Great Dao of Life and Death, there was no need to think too far ahead.

“Exchange for the Eye of Life and Death!” Luo Feng decided immediately.

“Reminder to the trial participant: After the trial participant exchanges for it, the Eye of Life and Death can be used permanently. However, after the trial participant completely dies, the Eye of Life and Death will automatically return to the Infinite Space,” a message transmitted, “Please confirm whether you still want to exchange?”

Luo Feng was startled.

As long as he lived, he could continue using the Eye of Life and Death.

But it would be taken back after death?

If he truly died, and his descendants weren’t capable enough or talented enough to use the precious item that Senior Yuan and the others had painstakingly refined, they indeed wouldn’t be qualified to use such a treasure.

“Exchange,” Luo Feng didn’t hesitate.

“Exchange successful! Trial participant Luo Feng, a reminder: this is the thirteenth exchange for the ‘Eye of Life and Death’. Of the previous twelve exchangers, one broke free from the cage and became a high-level Hunyuan lifeform, but ultimately still died in battle.”

Luo Feng’s heart stirred.

He was the thirteenth exchanger of the Eye of Life and Death?

…

Origin Continent, Hu Yang City, quiet room in the City Lord’s mansion, space within the Star Tower.

“Buzz.”

Luo Feng sat cross-legged as a wave pierced through spatial barriers and appeared before him.

It was an incomparably massive eye. Even after refinement, having been greatly reduced in size, its physical form was still much larger than Luo Feng’s World lifeform.

Ninety percent of this eye was a patch of black, like thick ink-like clouds. Only the central area was a dazzling golden light, and the source of this dazzling golden light vaguely consisted of countless golden secret patterns.

After a successful exchange, Luo Feng also obtained detailed information about the “Eye of Life and Death.”

“According to the detailed information, the World-level Hunyuan lifeform ‘Life-Death Pupil Beast’ was in the form of a single eye. It was even one-thousandth the size of a normal Origin World. Afterwards, the entire corpse was refined into a secret treasure.”

“After refinement, only a God Emperor-level mental will is required to control it.”

Luo Feng immediately sent a strand of consciousness to touch the massive eye before him.

The moment of contact—

Boom!

In a daze, Luo Feng saw a towering and massive creature in the shape of an eye. Facing its direct gaze, he felt as though he had no secrets, and everything was thoroughly perceived.

“Buzz.” Luo Feng’s mental consciousness quickly penetrated, touching the deepest part of this Eye of Life and Death.

The deepest part of the Eye of Life and Death contained countless secret patterns.

The secret patterns were divided into two types.

One was life, and the other was destruction.

Both types of secret patterns were incomparably vast, and yet they were intertwined, interdependent, and ultimately converged into the eye-shaped source.

“Although life and destruction aren’t fused, they cooperate with each other in a very mysterious way. This treasure is too suitable for me,” Luo Feng exclaimed in amazement. Although he pursued the complete fusion of the two,

observing how life and destruction cooperated still provided Luo Feng with great gains.

Whether it was the Star Tower or the Eye of Life and Death, they all involved the cooperation of numerous secret patterns, rather than fusion into one. Ultimately, Luo Feng needed to explore the aspect of fusion himself.

“From the perspective of the internal secret patterns, the Eye of Life and Death is a large level weaker than the Star Tower in terms of mystery,” Luo Feng could see at a glance.

The difference between the two.

It was like one being a star and the other being the sun. The difference was obvious.

But even as a star… the profoundness was still as vast as the sea. It was, after all, refined from the corpse of a complete World-level Hunyuan lifeform, and Luo Feng researching it would be filled with countless obstacles.

“Buzz!” When his mental consciousness was completely branded onto the eye at the internal source, the entire Eye of Life and Death completely recognized its master!

This was ultimately a secret treasure refined by Yuan and the others, making it easy to use.

Whoosh!

The incomparably massive Eye of Life and Death rapidly shrunk and flew toward Luo Feng, entering the area between his eyebrows. In reality, as a secret treasure, the Eye of Life and Death could be released independently or placed in the palm of his hand. But as a being from Earth, Luo Feng habitually placed the third eye between his eyebrows.

“Open your eyes and look at this world,” Luo Feng slowly opened the Eye of Life and Death between his eyebrows. Ninety percent of the Eye of Life and Death was black, with only the pupil area being a dazzling golden light.

The walls of the Star Tower, under Luo Feng’s control, offered no obstruction. With a single glance, Luo Feng was already able to see the outside world.

The first thing he saw was Hu Yang City!

Luo Feng swept his gaze across the billions of living beings within Hu Yang City, and he thoroughly saw through their lives, whether it was their physical bodies or souls, including their most basic life components. Everything had no secrets. Only the Ultimate Realm beasts offered some slight obstruction.

“Moresa.” Luo Feng looked towards the slightly concealed Ultimate Realm beast in the city. With a perfect Great Dao, he wasn’t able to pry into all of Moresa’s secrets.

Under the Eye of Life and Death,

Luo Feng still saw the world within Moresa’s body! The essence of that world was a complete Great Dao of Destruction in operation, just like how the essence of the Primal Universe was a complete Great Dao of Life in operation.

The world within Moresa, after reaching its peak state, was already comparable to the Primal Universe.

“Moresa’s greatest strength is the world within him. If he can use the ‘world’ within him more skillfully, his strength can advance even further.”

One by one /p>

“However, his weakness in destruction is also the world within him. As long as the weaknesses are targeted, the rules of operation of a world can easily collapse. The annihilation of the world is also the complete annihilation of Moresa.”

Luo Feng still had some confusion about the world within Moresa.

But from just the part he pried into, he discovered at least seven weaknesses in its operation. He was confident that he could destroy the operation of the world within Moresa with a blink, causing Moresa to perish.

“It can see the strongest parts of life, and also see the fatal weaknesses,” Luo Feng looked towards the outside of Hu Yang City.

Under the Eye of Life and Death,

All the powerhouses of the entire Origin Continent could no longer hide.

The Realm Lord of Shadow Heaven, God King Pu Xin, and other mysterious existences, Luo Feng’s Eye of Life and Death broke through the obstruction of formations, broke through the obstruction of secret spaces, and saw these powerhouses.

“Hunyuan Bloodline creatures!” Luo Feng also saw the Hunyuan Bloodline creatures being cultivated by the two great Ancient Kingdoms. Although these creatures were generally hidden in independent spaces and further concealed by formations, they couldn’t avoid being pried into.

“There are a total of nine types of Hunyuan Bloodline creatures with Ultimate Realm strength throughout the Origin Continent,” Luo Feng saw clearly.

“The weakest only possess three aspects.”

“The strongest possess twelve aspects.”

Luo Feng’s Eye of Life and Death at this moment could break through many formation obstructions and spatial obstructions, seeing those Hunyuan Bloodline creatures and even seeing their most basic life components.

These Hunyuan Bloodline creatures had lower intelligence. What made them most special was the bloodlines within their bodies! Under Luo Feng’s prying, these bloodlines had no concealment at all. Not to mention the places where vitality was strong and the weaknesses of destruction, the entire life, inside and out, was thoroughly seen through.

“I don’t even need to collect the materials of these bloodline creatures. I can comprehend their life forms, and even their substances, I understand and can transform into,” Luo Feng exclaimed in amazement.

Previously, he collected the materials of three types of Ultimate Realm Hunyuan Bloodline creatures.

But now, there was no need to collect them. As long as he was within the Origin Continent, under the observation of the Eye of Life and Death, it was as if he had them in his hands for careful examination, with no difference!

“The three Great Foreign Races, the Ancestors of the Two Kingdoms, the East Territory Ancestor!” Luo Feng also saw them, frowning slightly, “However, observing them is too vague.”

These God Emperor-level existences had realms that were far higher than Hunyuan Bloodline creatures. Their lives were even more mysterious, and they had various protective secret techniques.

Luo Feng couldn’t even see the essential components of their lives.

He only had the most basic ability—to see where vitality was strong and where the weaknesses of destruction were.

“Even seeing the weaknesses won’t threaten them,” Luo Feng knew after looking. Because the avatars of Ancestor Yan Feng, Ancestor Thunder, and the East Territory Ancestor were too powerful.

With the Origin Continent’s upper limit of power, targeting fatal weaknesses was useless against them!

Luo Feng continued to observe other places.

Watching the operation of the Origin Continent!

Watching the operation of the Universe Sea!

Watching the Primal Universes of the three thousand dimensions! Each Primal Universe felt like he was watching them up close.

With a blink of the eye between his eyebrows, Luo Feng clearly saw the most core location of the Origin Continent: the supreme rules formed by the nine original Great Daos.

The Great Dao originally allowed the God Kings to pry, and it didn’t have defenses against the living beings within the Origin World.

Therefore, with the Eye of Life and Death, Luo Feng could even see the complete supreme rules.

“This is the supreme rule,” Luo Feng observed, “To comprehend the supreme rules, you must first comprehend these nine original Great Daos, and then understand how the nine original Great Daos perfectly cooperate, ultimately forming the supreme rules.”

“Once you comprehend the supreme rules, you would have broken free from the cage long ago, and you might even have the hope of creating a new Origin World.”

Luo Feng had some guesses.

Although he could see it, it was useless.

It was like how mortals could see the sun and guess the life cycle of the sun. But wanting to create a sun was hundreds of millions of times more difficult than spying…

“Observation, however, is taking the most important step,” Luo Feng now understood the importance of the Eye of Life and Death. The vast majority of cultivators were groping in the dark. By studying the corpses of high-level Hunyuan lifeforms and other methods, they could gain some understanding of the outside of the cage.

And the Eye of Life and Death allowed Luo Feng to pry into the outside of the cage, understanding more high-level secrets.

This level of opportunity would only be given by Yuan and the others to the most dazzling geniuses among countless worlds!

Whoosh.

With another blink of Luo Feng’s eye, the Eye of Life and Death’s prying had already broken through the membrane wall of the Origin World, seeing the vast and boundless Hunyuan power outside.

“Although the Eye of Life and Death will return to the Infinite Space after death, this is still a huge opportunity,” Luo Feng understood that in terms of mystery, the Eye of Life and Death was not as profound as the Star Tower.

But in terms of assisting cultivation, the effect of the Eye of Life and Death was much better.

“Even so, the previous twelve exchangers were all worthy of being called peerless geniuses, but only one was able to break free from the cage. Even that one who broke free from the cage died in battle,” Luo Feng also understood that the road was difficult.

In the Infinite Space, there were dozens of treasures ranked higher than the Eye of Life and Death that he had seen. As for treasures of even higher value, he wasn’t qualified to see them yet.

There were probably many exchangers in history for those treasures. Each one was amazingly talented, but how many were able to successfully break free from the cage?
