Luo Feng was secretly shocked. This Clear Eye Master was comparable to Five Chaos Master. If he was to be ranked within the six-tier category for universe masters, he would be ranked as a fifth-tiered universe master.
Clear Eye Master was First True Master’s disciple—especially skilled in techniques involving soul attacks and illusions—and he had an illusion type unique treasure Clear Light Mirror. This Clear Light Mirror was comparable to Crazy Demon Extermination Godly Armor in terms of value. Or at least, in the hands of Clear Eye Master, it had made a name for itself.
“In terms of godly power, this Clear Eye Master is close to the perfect limit. In terms of willpower, he is comparable to a universe supreme master. And with Clear Light Mirror in his possession! Even if he were to be compared with a universe supreme master, at the very most, he would lose out a little in terms of secret technique.” Luo Feng analyzed to himself. “Many great beings would rather be confronted by Five Chaos Master. No one is willing to cross paths with Clear Eye Master! In a face-to-face confrontation with Five Chaos Master, brute force alone will suffice, but with Clear Eye Master, once they are subjected to a soul attack or an illusion attack, their consciousness will be trapped, and then they will be at a great disadvantage.”
Of course, if given a choice, between Five Chaos Master and Clear Eye Master, the majority of the great beings would choose to fight Five Chaos.
But Luo Feng was keener on battling Clear Eye Master. If Five Chaos Master were to really put effort into fighting a battle, Luo Feng might be cornered into helplessness.
“Swallow Hawk Master, since you are cultivating here, I shall not interrupt further.” Luo Feng smiled.
“Milky Way Horde Leader,” Swallow Hawk Master said. “When you are honing your willpower in the space of the black-striped stone pillars… should the need arises, do feel free to contact me via the virtual universe. I will be here all the time.”
“Sure.”
Luo Feng transformed into a stream of silver, rainbowlike light and continued to fly toward the black-striped stone pillars.
******
“Huh? It’s a human. There is a human flying over here.”
“That is… silver armor and black hair. It’s Silver Wings Horde Leader Luo Feng? He dares fly here… Seems like for him to make such a name for himself, there must be something different about him. At least, when it comes to willpower, his is comparable to mine.”
As Luo Feng continued to fly nearer to the space of the black-striped stone pillars, he caught the attention of several universe masters.
“Time velocity is indeed soaring at an accelerated rate. 1,500 times, 1,800 times, 2,300 times, 2,800 times…”
Luo Feng could feel time and space contorting. Space had frozen, and time velocity was so frighteningly fast—at a rate that matched 3,000 times that of the outside world. Luo Feng finally came to a stop and landed directly on a huge flying rock. The other 19 universe masters were about the same distance away.
“Such great oppression.”
Luo Feng stood on the huge rock and looked afar at the lofty and towering celestial magic pillars in the distance. “The impact of the willpower here is so strong that I can already feel it taking a toll on me. Luckily for me, I am still able to stay poised… No wonder the other 19 universe masters did not continue to advance. If they had done so, I’m afraid they would have lost control of their godly bodies and showed their discomposure.”
Whole body trembling. Perspiring profusely. Blood osmosing. These symptoms—along with various other indications of one’s soul being put under unbearable agony—were the signs of discomposure. Right now, it was getting extremely tough, and the oppression was excessive, but he had pulled through.
“In the future, I shall hone my willpower on this huge rock,” Luo Feng said to himself.
******
“The human, Milky Way Horde Leader Luo Feng, from the primal universe, has appeared in Universe Boat somewhere in the space of the black-striped stone-pillars, within the surroundings of Number 2 black-striped stone pillar.”
“Luo Feng has appeared. He is right in the space of the black-striped stone pillars.”
“It is that Silver Wings Horde Leader? He is right here. I just saw him with my own eyes. Absolutely no doubt.”
Close to 100 universe masters were nearby, and a handful had already spotted Luo Feng. Naturally, the news spread quickly.
Luo Feng had expected this to happen… After all, this time around, he was going to stay for a long time to hone his willpower, so there was no way he could hide from them. But even if his presence was made public, it meant nothing much.
His primary enemy was the Divine Eye Clan. Other groups of powers would not go to the same lengths to fight him. Huge Axe Creator’s power might not have been made known to those within Universe Ocean, but Third True Master and Sixth True Master suffering a devastating defeat at his hands was major news. Who would not have caught wind of it? Even if anyone wanted to deal with Luo Feng, it would only be those universe masters who bore a grudge against him. No one else at the level of a universe supreme master would dare to make reckless moves with Huge Axe acting as a powerful deterrent.
******
Clear Eye Master wore a white robe and had skin that was smooth and clear like white jade. He stood on a huge rock with his eyes closed. Behind him, the single-eyed shadow radiated faint light rays as Clear Eye Master resisted the impact of that willpower as best as he could. The place he was at was much nearer to the black-striped stone pillars, so if ordinary universe masters were to advance nearer, they would likely be hit by the impact of willpower and be knocked unconscious.
In the distance, it led to a place occupied by great beings whose willpower had reached the limit of a universe master. However, in the direction which his senses had pointed him, a lone figure was descending.
“A human?” Clear Eye Master’s brows furrowed slightly.
Soon enough, the identity of the figure became apparent. His eyes flashed with a hint of harsh countenance, but he was quick in showing restraint as he softly mumbled under his breath, “Silver Wings Horde Leader? How dare you show yourself here…? You sure have guts. Ultimate Arrow… he has another body. I am unable to totally annihilate him to avenge you, but I can destroy this body of his.”
Everything seemed to be at peace. But Clear Eye Master’s heart was burning with insane rage. And murderous intentions!
Long before Clear Eye Master had become a universe master, his family and friends from his younger years had all passed away due to old age. During a long period of close to three reincarnation eras, the other universe masters—who were not only from the same clan but also the same level as him and had similarities of character—naturally formed cliques or even forged deep friendships that transcended life and death.
Clear Eye Master and Ultimate Arrow Master were very close at heart and shared an extremely deep friendship, for they had seen each other through a long period of close to three reincarnation eras… They had long been accustomed to the existence of friends. The annihilation of Ultimate Arrow naturally filled him with resentment. Yet Luo Feng’s whereabouts were always a mystery. At times, he would appear in God-Destroying Valley. Other times, he would appear in Wave of Stars Ocean. Occasionally, there would be traces of his whereabouts, and these made it more difficult for the other great beings to determine his intended route.
“Very well.”
Sou!
A streak of white light flew through the air and charged toward Luo Feng at high speed.
“It’s Clear Eye Master.”
“Why would Clear Eye Master head toward Silver Wings Horde Leader? Could it be because of Ultimate Arrow Master and Five Chaos Master?”
“The human Luo Feng is in deep trouble.”
Several other universe masters realized what was happening, but they observed quietly instead. No one intervened.
******
Luo Feng had just sat down cross-legged, about to start meditating, when he suddenly spotted a flash of white light flying toward him.
“Huh?” Luo Feng gave a slight frown. “Clear Eye Master?”
That white light maintained a speed of 100 times time velocity and was quickly approaching Luo Feng. A short moment later, it reduced its speed by moving in a crooked line, then descended and landed on the gigantic rock that Luo Feng was on. This rock was so massive that even when both Luo Feng and Clear Eye Master were standing on it, they were like the size of two ants compared to the whole planet Earth.
“Silver Wings Horde Leader!” A clear and cold voice was transmitted over to Luo Feng as a white-robed figure approached him, step by step. Every step surpassed tens of thousands of kilometers, and he was so fast that he left behind a trail of shadows.
“I am called Milky Way Horde Leader, not Silver Wings Horde Leader.” Luo Feng finally stood up, appearing leisurely and relaxed as he looked at the white-robed figure in the distance. “Clear Eye Master, what is your purpose in coming here?”
“Don’t you know?” Clear Eye Master was clearly feeling unfriendly toward Luo Feng as he closed the distance between them step after step.
“To avenge Ultimate Arrow and Five Chaos?” Luo Feng asked in return. “Or for the sake of saving the face of your clan?”
“Whatever the reason, you ought to die!” Clear Eye Master said.
He continued advancing with a cold look. The distance between him and Luo Feng was shortening, and his voice was transmitted over to Luo Feng through green spots of light.
“Ought to die?” Luo Feng laughed.
Clear Eye Master stood firm on his spot as he looked at Luo Feng. “Being sucked into the Deep Abyss, losing the pair of Silver Wings true treasure… Yet I had not expected you to be able to rise on your feet again so quickly. What a pity that you are still so tender and immature; judging from how you look now, it seems like you show no fear.”
Luo Feng chuckled to himself.
Scared? What a joke! He was wearing Crazy Demon Extermination Godly Armor, which was made of a unique material that was capable of reducing the power of a soul attack to 1 percent! But this was beside the point. His greatest trump card was Star Tower, which he kept within his body. Star Tower was a supreme true treasure, and with it guarding his soul, why would he fear?
This was why he might feel intimidated by that illustrious name, but if he were to choose between Five Chaos Master and Clear Eye Master, he would definitely choose Clear Eye Master.
“How confident you are!” Clear Eye Master remarked coldly. “Very well… Meet your doom!”
Clear Eye Master was an arrogant being, through and through. Without warning, the single-eyed shadow behind him suddenly expanded, and an ancient mirror emerged from within his body to combine with the single-eyed shadow. Instantly, the shadow seemed to take on a tangible form, as though a single gigantic eye was gazing at Luo Feng from afar. Then an intangible attack directly befell upon Luo Feng.
“Just die, once and for all,” Clear Eye Master said coldly with a wave of his hand.
Xiu!
A beam of white light flew rapidly through the air at Luo Feng. In mid-flight, the beam transformed into a dazzling white beast. The beast resembled a white dragon, but it had two heads. It glided through the air, let out a deep growl, and, within an instant, appeared before Luo Feng. The two heads of the beast suddenly launched their attacks together, like a pair of scissors determined to snip Luo Feng to death.
“Falling into my illusions, you shall have no power of resistance at all, regardless of how strong your godly body is,” Clear Eye Master said coldly. “The most you could do is to launch a few more attacks.
This was why many universe masters were reluctant to exchange blows with him. He was a terrifying existence who was extremely strong in areas related to the soul, which was frightening enough. Of course, if his soul attacks could be warded off, he would be rendered helpless without further techniques to rely on.
Being skilled in soul attacks usually meant that he would not be as strong in material attacks—like Master of Banff, who had very mediocre skills when it came to using material attacks during fights. Upon comparison, Clear Eye Master was more powerful than Master of Banff. He could rely on areas involving souls and make the rank of a fifth-tiered universe master. But when it came to material attacks, he barely made the rank of a fourth-tier standard, although this was still quite impressive.
Peng!
Standing unmoving like a wooden pole, Luo Feng suddenly waved his arm. On his right hand, sharp claws formed and started to tear at the surrounding time and space instantly; these five sharp claws were like golden blades, and they gathered to converge into one huge sharp claw, which viciously caught hold of that two-headed dragon-like beast, tearing and biting with a murderous intention to kill.
There was a loud roar of pain.
Pa!
The two-headed dragon skull was split into two as it collapsed. The moment this beast that was formed with the use of a true treasure galvanizing technique was defeated and dispersed, the form of a certain true treasure was revealed. It was a blade that looked like an ordinary white ruler.
Hong!
The long white ruler rolled into the distance before it fell and smashed heavily onto the vast surface of the gigantic rock, causing the entire rock to tremble.
“You—” Clear Eye Master was in shock. He could not be bothered with anything else as he repeatedly executed his strongest technique Clear Extermination of Reincarnation.
Sou!
Luo Feng simply dodged the attacks in a flash. As a great being who had cultivated the Beast God path, upon comprehending the heart of Beast God, every part of his godly body was like a weapon, and any technique could be executed directly with his godly body… Luo Feng could move about at a shocking speed. He was just like a fearsome beast god. In a flash, he appeared before Clear Eye Master; then, with sharp claws that seemed to be composed of five blades, he slashed down onto Clear Eye Master’s head.
Clear Eye Master tried his best to ward off the attack, but with a loud rumble, he was reduced to something a cookie smashed into pieces. He immediately fell flat onto the surface of the huge rock, and subsequently, into a huge pit created by the impact of Luo Feng’s strike.
“How dare you think of killing me?” Luo Feng’s angry roars resounded. “In your dreams!”
“How did you manage to—?” Clear Eye Master was about to make a hasty retreat as he emerged from the deep pit, but he was still in disbelief that the ultimate technique that he was so proud of, Clear Extermination of Reincarnation, had actually failed to work on Luo Feng.
This was the flaw that a great being from the pulse of soul attacks had. If his opponent was influenced by his soul attack, it was fated that he would trample on his opponent! However, if his soul attack were to fail, he would be trampled upon instead!
