Chapter 265: The Sixth Volume: Five Hundred Centuries

In the high tower of the Hou Fu in Wei Yang City.

Luo Feng drank alone.

“The Nine River Sacred Realm?” Luo Feng murmured.

This gathering between Yan Feng’s Primordial Ancestor, Di Qing, and Luo Feng revealed much intelligence.

Once a being reaches the Ultimate Realm, they may exit the Origin Continent via a teleportation passage within it, typically arriving at a random destination—unless precise coordinates are set during teleportation.

The world where Di Qing resides is called the "Nine River Sacred Realm," a place that gathers countless strong ones from source worlds and billions of other worlds.

“Di Qing is in the Nine River Sacred Realm. The weakest among those qualified to enter possess Ultimate Realm lifeforms; the strongest reach Half-Origin Level!”

“Yan Feng’s Primordial Ancestor is in the Dark Sacred Realm—the threshold to enter is extremely high! Even Yan Feng’s Primordial Ancestor and Lei Ting’s Primordial Ancestor are barely stronger than the threshold. In the Dark Sacred Realm… resources far exceed those of the Nine River Sacred Realm.”

Luo Feng is far from meeting the threshold of the “Dark World.” Ordinary Dao-seekers must reach the late Divine Emperor stage to even have a chance.

“Whether it’s the Nine River Sacred Realm, the Dark Sacred Realm… or other places—they’re all places where Yuan Elder and others cultivate us, the weak.” Luo Feng understood this well.

“Without the Star Tower or the Eye of Creation and Destruction, my power is still too weak.”

Luo Feng’s “Eye of Creation and Destruction” opened at his third eye, gazing far toward the Dream Domain.

Beyond the infinite space outside the Origin Continent, Luo Feng could observe all other sacred sites.

“Hum.”

Under the Eye of Creation and Destruction, it swiftly pierced through layers of spatial barriers, revealing the core layer’s “Dark Zone.”

The Dark Zone was once accessible only to spiritual awareness—but the “Eye of Creation and Destruction” saw it with perfect clarity.

“The Dark Zone contains only one space.”

Luo Feng stared.

The entire Dream Domain resembled a massive sphere, filled with countless bubbles—each an independent space. The outermost layer held the most spaces, the middle layer far fewer, the deeper layers even fewer, and the core “Dark Zone” held only one.

That single space was extraordinarily stable.

The ground was forged from black metal, inscribed with secret patterns.

Trees were formed from countless intertwined metals.

Rivers were streams of glowing points converging.

The creatures here were, at minimum, Divine Monarch or Sovereign level.

The strongest among them touched the Origin Continent’s power limit; their conflicts stirred disturbances that made Luo Feng’s expression darken.

“Even I cannot bring the Eye of Creation and Destruction or the Star Tower inside,” Luo Feng understood. “Though the strongest Dream Domain creatures are merely at the power limit, some regions contain too many of them.”

Under the Eye of Creation and Destruction, he saw one region where hundreds of serpent-like creatures gathered, playfully interacting—their commotion alone reached the Origin Continent’s power limit.

“Hundreds of serpent-like creatures attacking together is like hundreds of Di Qings assaulting,” Luo Feng thought. “Even if I hid inside the Star Tower, I’d be trapped forever.”

The Star Tower’s power was also restricted.

One against hundreds?

How could he fight?

Even Yan Feng’s Primordial Ancestor or Lei Ting’s Primordial Ancestor would be useless.

“Special Life Remains are quite abundant,” Luo Feng observed with his Eye of Creation and Destruction—he immediately saw countless fragments scattered everywhere.

In the depths of rivers lay hundreds of thousands of fragments: a single bone, a scale, a tendon…

Some were hidden deep within mountains.

But all shared one trait: they required long-distance exploration within the Dark Zone.

“My Eye of Creation and Destruction can only see the appearance of these Special Life Remains, not their inner nature,” Luo Feng frowned. “I cannot determine their true value.”

Using his Eye of Creation and Destruction, he might rival the observational ability of an ordinary High Origin Life—but seeing through the inner essence of “Special Life Remains” was impossible.

“I can only take one. Once taken, I’ll be expelled and never allowed entry again,” Luo Feng mused.

His Eye of Creation and Destruction scrutinized carefully.

Rivers, mountains, underground, forests…

He compared every corpse material.

“This one… looks unusual,” Luo Feng finally fixed his gaze on one fragment.

It was a dark-golden horn.

The dark-golden horn lay deep within an underground labyrinth, surrounded by hundreds of centipede-like creatures that circled it reverently, as if worshipping the horn.

“My Eye of Creation and Destruction has observed the entire Dream Domain’s Dark Zone—this is the only horn fragment. And the creatures guarding it are exceptionally powerful,” Luo Feng thought. “I’ll take this one!”

A being of unimaginable power, if it grew a horn—especially a single horn—must have a profound purpose.

“Now, examine the Celestial Pillar Realm.”

Luo Feng turned his head, and his Eye of Creation and Destruction scrutinized the entire Celestial Pillar Realm.

Deep within the Celestial Pillar Realm, the most prominent feature was a winding river of polluted blood! Any Divine King of the Second Layer who touched it would die instantly—even their external avatars would be spiritually corrupted and perish. Towering bone mountains dotted the landscape, their countless fissures forming labyrinthine mazes.

Lush vegetation grew along the polluted riverbanks and within the bone mountains, their roots plunging deep into the earth.

“In the Dream Domain, I can see everything at a glance.”

“But in the Celestial Pillar Realm, roughly one or two tenths of the area remain obscured—I cannot see within the polluted river, only the surface of the bone mountains, and nothing of their depths or the earth below,” Luo Feng shook his head lightly.

“The polluted river must be formed from the blood of a World-Level Origin Life.”

Luo Feng was certain.

Blood so opaque even his Eye of Creation and Destruction could not penetrate it could not belong to any life within the Cage.

“I’ve heard that natural treasures often form within the polluted river, the bone mountains, and the deep earth,” Luo Feng smiled. But something was odd: in both the Dream Domain and the Celestial Pillar Realm, he had seen no natural treasures whatsoever.

The natural treasures seemed tightly hidden.

“As for Special Life Remains…”

Please… collect… 6…9…books…!

Luo Feng stared at the Celestial Pillar Realm. “Everywhere are remains—the entire polluted river is remains, every bone mountain is remains.”

Luo Feng realized this—but he lacked the ability to take any. Merely observing, he knew how heavy they were, how terrifying their pressure.

“I’ll take this one.”

After carefully examining the vast remains deep within the Celestial Pillar Realm, Luo Feng finally chose one.

According to his Eye of Creation and Destruction, there were two hundred and eighty-nine bone mountains. In the central one lay a long black bone, divided into nine segments.

“I can take one segment of these nine black bones,” Luo Feng thought.

…

Though two imperial clans guarded the Celestial Pillar Realm, none dared obstruct the Silver River Sovereign.

Luo Feng dispatched a powerful avatar—whose physical body alone possessed Divine Emperor-level power—and walked steadily into the depths of the bone mountain range. Though the pressure grew heavier, it remained within the “Origin Continent’s limit.”

Luo Feng reached the core, entered the depths of that bone mountain, and gazed upon the towering nine-segment black bone.

The nine-segment black bone radiated terrifying energy.

The moment Luo Feng touched it, invisible information flowed into him: he could take only one segment, and once taken, he could never claim any other Special Life Remain.

“Hum.”

As Luo Feng moved it, he felt immense weight, then stored it inside his personal Divine Emperor-grade treasure—the “Droplet Skyboat.”

…

The Special Life Remains in the Celestial Pillar Realm were relatively easy for Luo Feng to obtain—but the dark-golden horn in the Dream Domain proved extremely difficult. He tried hundreds of times, each attempt failing.

Fortunately, his avatars possessed immense vitality; even after hundreds of attempts, his energy loss was minimal.

“Even with the Eye of Creation and Destruction aiding me remotely, I still failed,” Luo Feng could only temporarily abandon it.

Two hundred and some centuries later.

Leveraging the three “Nine-Branch Fusion Techniques” of his Way of Creation and Destruction, deploying multiple avatars simultaneously, with the Eye of Creation and Destruction observing remotely, using diversion tactics and desperate distractions, he finally obtained the dark-golden horn.

Thus, Luo Feng had acquired both of the most important treasures generally attainable by Divine Emperors on the Origin Continent: the two Special Life Remains.

“These two artifacts are indeed extraordinary,” Luo Feng observed with his Eye of Creation and Destruction.

The horn and the single black bone segment each contained boundless mysteries. Though inferior to the Eye of Creation and Destruction, they were of the same tier—and far simpler, purer.

“The horn… contains the mysteries of spiritual will,” Luo Feng marveled. Within the horn, the secret patterns were dominated by spiritual will.

“This black bone segment holds the mystery of ‘indestructibility,’” Luo Feng probed its structure. How could a life grow so utterly unbreakable?

Luo Feng immersed himself in cultivation. The Origin Continent returned to peace.

Under the joint orders of the Silver River Sovereign, Yan Feng’s Primordial Ancestor, and Lei Ting’s Primordial Ancestor, all "Great Sinners" on the Origin Continent had nowhere to hide; even those who barely survived, secretly consuming tribes to aid their cultivation, lived in constant terror—because Mo Luo Sa and his patrol group could appear at any moment.

Unconsciously, five hundred centuries had passed since Luo Feng’s wager with Lei Ting’s Primordial Ancestor.

In a vast space within Yan Feng Ancient Nation.

Eleven thoughts converged, forming eleven Divine Monarch figures.

“The guest minister Luo He has served as guardian of the Celestial Pillar Realm for a thousand centuries,” Di Yan said. “It’s time he leaves. No guest minister may hold the Celestial Pillar Realm guardian post consecutively.”

The Celestial Pillar Realm guardian post was a coveted assignment among guest ministers.

Di Yan and the others typically awarded it to obedient guest ministers. Having let Luo He hold it for over a millennium, Di Yan and the others were naturally displeased.

“A guest minister who doesn’t know respect has held the guardian post for a thousand centuries,” Di Wu’s face was icy. She had once personally threatened Luo He, forcing him to accept another task—but Di Chu protected his disciple.

Di Chu and she shared a blood feud; naturally, she harbored deep hostility toward Luo He.

“Since his term has ended, he must be replaced,” Di Chu glanced at Di Wu, utterly unconcerned.
