Luo Feng opened his eyes. Tian Chen Emperor and Ji Hong Emperor screamed, "Master!"
"Master, are you going to become undying?" Tian Chen Emperor asked.
Luo Feng waved his hands. "Get out."
"Yes, master."
Tian Chen Emperor and Ji Hong Emperor were a bit confused. They hadn't expected Luo Feng to fail at becoming undying. After all, in their eyes, it would be the biggest joke in the history of the universe if even Luo Feng couldn't become undying!
Alone in the silent palace, Luo Feng walked up the stairs of the side palace to the top floor. He leaned against the handrail and looked at the Thousand Treasures River.
"I've never given up," said Luo Feng. "Not since the first day I stepped outside my home city on Earth!" His eyes gleamed. "Even if the shackles on my core are outstandingly powerful, that won't stop me from becoming undying."
Treasures won't help me break the shackles, thought Luo Feng. I need to rely on my law comprehension, techniques, spiritual force amplification, and willpower! It's difficult to improve my willpower in the short term. Same with my spiritual force amplification. As for my beast god conception and law comprehension, they're already the best among anyone beneath the level of universe knight.
"Only secret techniques can help me advance sharply!" he realized.
Luo Feng thought about this.
Among the heirs on Bauhinia Island, there are heirs who eventually created ultimate techniques after devoting time to their techniques. For instance, my teacher True Yan Knight spent hundreds of millions of years studying his talent technique, and it's now almost at the ultimate level.
True Yan Knight didn't even have the advantages Luo Feng had. After all, he didn't have the instructions of Primal Chaos City Leader.
"I can accomplish what they accomplished! I'll create my ultimate techniques! And they will improve my power dozens of times! I don't believe I won't be able to make it!" Luo Feng pursed his lips, and his eyes glinted fiercely. "And if I still can't do it, I'll sharpen my willpower and improve my beast god conception. No matter what… I'll only accept success. No failure allowed!"
Luo Feng tightened his grip on the handrail so hard that it bent beneath his fingers. He turned around and went back into his palace while the handrail gradually recovered… There was memory metal inside the handrail.
******
Though Luo Feng would spend time with his family and learn about how his family had prospered, most of his mind was devoted to studying the talent technique even when he was with his family.
This time, Luo Feng didn't study into the blade technique. Instead, he concentrated on Star Map.
100 years passed. 200 years… 900 years, 1,000 years. Time flew.
After 3,000 years, inside the training field of the virtual universe…
"Fall," said Luo Feng.
He stood at the apex of the remains, pointing at a distant rock life form. 1,600 crystal balls were connected, forming the tail of a beast god. Countless law threads became entangled and formed a beast god. The tail was surreally tangible, while the other parts of the body appeared blurry and indistinct.
Howl!
After a growl, the beast god rushed at the rock life.
Hong! Long! Long!
Superheated fire burst out of the rock life, but a phantom of countless raindrops was waiting for him. The beast god moved swiftly. His tail moved 100 times faster than his body. His tail left a blur behind it like raindrops, filling the space and time around him. The raindrops appeared harmless, but the rock life form roared with anger and fear as the illuminated raindrops penetrated every inch of its body.
Peng!
The rock life trembled and was annihilated.
Hit the Light-Racing Star, thought Luo Feng. The starlight spread all over the universe.
"The first move is completed." Luo Feng nodded.
"Luo Feng," said a voice.
A shadow in a golden cape appeared, flying toward him from afar. It was Primal Chaos City Leader.
"Teacher." Luo Feng saluted him.
Primal Chaos City Leader looked a little confused. "For the past 3,000 years, you've been studying the first move of your Star Map, and now, you've finally made the first move ultimate technique level… But why did you spend so much time creating techniques? You could've made your breakthrough and become undying already."
"I'm not powerful enough," Luo Feng said respectfully.
Primal Chaos City Leader shook his head and smiled, thinking Luo Feng was being too modest. "You're full of humility," he said. "Tell me, when do you want to become undying?"
"After making my first three moves ultimate-level," Luo Feng answered.
"The first three moves?" Primal Chaos City Leader was startled. It was very challenging to create ultimate techniques. Otherwise, more individuals would have come up with them. Few had achieved this even on Bauhinia Island, where hundreds of millions of peerless talents lived.
The first move was based on the first-level beast god inheritance, and it was self-explanatory. The second move was based on the second-level beast god inheritance and was far more difficult. As for the third move, it was exceedingly strenuous.
Luo Feng was creating these ultimate techniques from an advantageous position. His horizons were broad, and his law comprehension was deep. Together with step-by-step instructions from Primal Chaos City Leader, he could create the first ultimate technique in 3,000 years.
"How long will it take?" Primal Chaos City Leader asked.
"As long as is required," Luo Feng answered respectfully.
Primal Chaos City Leader was a bit surprised. From his perspective, Luo Feng's fame only would make him hurry to become undying.
"Okay," Primal Chaos City Leader said. "I'm in no rush. Sector lords and the land of origin in the universe have clearer connections, and you're more suitable to create appropriate techniques at this level. However, even if I'm instructing you and setting competitors for you, you'll soon realize that you're incapable of defending yourself against those competitors. It'll be up to you to decide how to make the breakthrough."
"I know," Luo Feng said deferentially. "Teacher, I shall appreciate your instruction forever."
"Then suit yourself," said Primal Chaos City Leader, and he stopped advising him on the matter.
As a supreme being who had lived practically as long as the human race, Primal Chaos City Leader understood the virtues of patience.
******
Luo Feng went back to study the second move, which was apparently much more difficult than the first one. Fortunately, Luo Feng was accomplished in more than enough on law comprehension. He spent 8,000 years conquering all the obstacles gradually and finally made the second move ultimate level.
Yaaa!
A special life form with scales on its wings screamed, and its voice pierced through Luo Feng's ears. Luo Feng stayed still, unaffected by it.
"The 2,000th competitor," he said. "This is the day for you to fall."
Luo Feng controlled the gigantic beast god in the sky. 5,200 crystal balls were still on his tail, yet the entire beast god was distinct now. The towering beast god was 1,800 miles long.
The flying special life form flew like a beam of black light. All the stars and planets touched by the black light were annihilated, yet the beast god remained floating in the sky. The two special life forms were about to crash.
Luo Feng's eyes glinted ferociously. He had already been defeated by this competitor more than 900 times. "Kill," he commanded.
The beast god's tail finally started to move. It became a beam of shining red light like a star about to be annihilated. The red light flitted silently past that charging black light, and the black light vanished.
Hua!
A huge crack showed up in the sky, and an enormous shockwave shook the surroundings.
Hong! Long! Long!
The soundwave couldn't stop.
"Splendid like stars," Luo Feng murmured. "The red light rips the nightfall like a blade! The second move is finished!"
******
The first move of the ultimate technique known as Star Map was finished after 3,000 years. The second move took 8,000 years. Luo Feng then started to study the third move.
He had been able to finish creating the first two moves thanks to the competitors Primal Chaos City Leader provided. Those competitors were designed to reveal the disadvantages of Luo Feng's secret techniques. Other than the competitors, Luo Feng had already completed the third-level beast god inheritance, and together with the help of Golden Horned Beast body and Mosha body, it wasn't a huge burden for him to create the first two ultimate techniques.
Mosha body's space comprehension could help him merge with space completely. Golden Horned Beast had merged with numerous blood river crystals and had ample inspiration when looking at the beast god sculpture. However, Luo Feng ran into trouble when creating the third move.
His law comprehension and beast god conception were not inadequate for creating the third move for the ultimate technique. He beat one competitor after another and kept deducing and empowering the third move. It took him 20,000 years to beat the 1,520th competitor, and the following competitors would only get stronger and stronger. It seemed that it would take him hundreds of thousands of years—maybe even a million years to create the third move.
Inside the core, the form of Luo Feng that had transformed from the origin pearl was casting the second move of the ultimate technique. He tried to cast the unfinished third move to attack the inner wall of the core.
"Break!" he roared. "Break! Now!"
Hong!
The inner wall trembled and shattered, yet that blurry steam stayed intact.
"I still haven't succeeded?" said Luo Feng. "Will I really have to spend a million years creating the third move?"
Luo Feng grew nervous. For the past 30,000 years, he had remained in seclusion. This provoked rumors among the other races—even within the human race—as they all presumed that Blade River Emperor would become undying soon. Yet there had been no news. This Blade River Emperor, who had previously roamed the universe, seemed to have disappeared.
"I've become so impatient," Luo Feng realized, finally coming to his senses. 30,000 years of meditation, combined with the rumors from the outside, had indeed affected him. "If I can't accomplish my goal now, I might as well get out and tour the universe a bit. I've been around for such a long time, but I haven't seen the universe yet—all I've done is fight!"
Luo Feng suddenly wanted nothing more than to take a tour of the universe. The timing was right. It was now or never.
