Chapter 457

Below, the deep blue waters flow extremely slowly, as if completely still.

An endless chill permeates the air.

Space is frozen, and Instant Teleport is prohibited.

Even time seems frozen, with no ripple transmitted.

The entire Bing Xing Yu resembles a motionless world.

This ice region, only a few hundred light‑years across, is like a frozen hell; the Strongest Being entered it before and has not emerged yet.

It is certain the Strongest Being has not perished, for his miniature universe is still operating normally.

Xiao Yu, standing hundreds of light‑years away, swung his Source God Blade toward the ice region; instantly a blade of seemingly endless light surged forward into the ice region.

After extending dozens of light‑years into the ice region, movement became as if frozen, proceeding extremely slowly.

In an instant, the Open Heaven blade light seemed compressed to its limit.

Xiao Yu inhaled deeply, sighing, "Fortunately I didn't rush in recklessly; otherwise I would have been trapped. Once inside, even if I didn't die, perhaps when I emerged the Primordial Universe would already be destroyed."

Even a secret art whose power reaches the Thirteenth Tier cannot break the ice region's extreme cold, so Xiao Yu does not think he would be an exception.

"Looks like we have to go around," Xiao Yu thought, and with a shift of intent, Cold Cliff Fortress accelerated into a rapid orbit.

Flying along a broken wall about five hundred light‑years long, rock‑like, the proximity to the ice region caused interference; space was affected, making Instant Teleport impossible.

Fortunately, time remains normal.

Cold Cliff Fortress, at ten thousand times light speed, continuously circled one peril after another.

A month later, Xiao Yu finally entered the coordinate area Feng Lei Liu Sha Qu Yu.

Upon entering, Xiao Yu inside Cold Cliff Fortress was utterly shocked; he had never seen such wind and lightning.

The entire Feng Lei Liu Sha Qu Yu was capped by endless lightning; highly condensed bolts formed blue particles as solid as matter, drifting slowly like sand grains.

Below, endless gray sand grains swirled with the boundless storm, flowing like water.

"These gray grains are also condensed from wind. Though called grains, each shines like a star," Xiao Yu exclaimed.

Each grain here contains power equivalent to a Sixth Tier Universe Master's full strike.

The central zone seemed a void; occasionally blue grains fell below, then the endless storm dissipated.

Nor do gray grains rise upward to be annihilated by the endless lightning.

Cold Cliff Fortress flew through the central void, carefully evading each grain.

"The upper coordinate is still 300 light‑years away; the lower coordinate 500 light‑years away," Xiao Yu continuously checked the coordinates while flying.

This Feng Lei Liu Sha Qu Yu is extremely dangerous, yet occasionally an Ultimate Treasure appears; even in endless eras perhaps only one or two emerge, but when they do they are at least a Peak Treasure of Supreme Quality.

The entire Feng Lei Liu Sha Qu Yu is like a barrel of gunpowder.

Those who come to explore are few, but they are generally Strongest Beings.

A month later, the Cold Cliff Fortress, like a speck, passed by; Xiao Yu encountered no Strongest Being along the way.

……

Tens of light‑years from Cold Cliff Fortress, a minuscule You Ya Yuan Ding Gong Dian floated in the void; inside, a towering golden‑armored beast stared at a distant area.

A few light‑years ahead, endless gray sand suddenly erupted, unleashing boundless storm power; the storm formed an enormous vortex that kept expanding.

Countless grains were affected, yet no further explosions occurred.

"The Feng Lei Liu Sha Qu Yu is harsh and extremely dangerous, but danger leaves traces," the golden‑armored beast laughed. "Although Ultimate Treasures are rare, when they appear they are at least of the Peak Domain Palace level, even Strongest Supreme Treasure tier. This time's magnitude suggests a Strongest Supreme Treasure."

In the Feng Lei Liu Sha Qu Yu, each Ultimate Treasure's emergence is spaced far apart, and the stronger the treasure, the greater the upheaval at its appearance.

Suddenly the golden‑horned beast turned to the rapidly approaching flash behind it and thought, "Cold Cliff Fortress, so it's the Divine Eye Clan; no wonder it's so reckless."

A white flash suddenly halted beside the minuscule You Ya Yuan Ding Gong Dian.

Inside Cold Cliff Fortress, Xiao Yu gracefully sipped wine; his hand holding the cup froze mid‑air, and he exclaimed happily, "Huh, an Ultimate Treasure is appearing; it looks like a remarkable one."

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Ahead, the storm vortex grew increasingly fierce, with wind‑sand grains periodically releasing power, and that power further accelerated the vortex's rotation and expansion.

"Strongest Supreme Treasure, absolutely a Strongest Supreme Treasure!" the golden‑armored beast roared involuntarily.

He has lingered here for tens of thousands of eras; this is his first time witnessing an Ultimate Treasure's emergence.

Xiao Yu, seeing the still‑suspended palace Ultimate Treasure, felt a hint of surprise; it was his first encounter with a Strongest Being who did not evade him since he annihilated the Divine Eye Clan.

Moreover, judging by its stance and its intent to contest the treasure with him, he found it rather interesting.

He examined closely and realized who stood before him: "Wing Temple, the palace Ultimate Treasure of the Eagle Wing Demon God, a Strongest Supreme Treasure—no wonder it's like this."

The Eagle Wing Demon God was a lone Strongest Being of the Second Reincarnation Era, whose power rivaled the Divine Eye True Lord; legend says he fell into the Yu Zhou Zhou Wei Zhi Di for tens of thousands of eras and has not appeared in the Cosmic Sea recently.

"Traitor of the Divine Eye Clan, this is my Eagle Wing Demon God's domain; you are not welcome here," the golden‑armored beast, Eagle Wing Demon God, roared.

Immediately, boundless Wind and Thunder power erupted, forming a Wind and Thunder Domain that seemed amplified within the Feng Lei Liu Sha Qu Yu.

The domain's strength surpasses that of ordinary Supreme Domain Strongest Supreme Treasures.

Endless Binding Force concentrated on Cold Cliff Fortress, as if the Seventh True Lord truly controlled it, it would indeed be suppressed.

However, the current master of Cold Cliff Fortress is Xiao Yu, a man beyond ordinary deduction.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu's divine energy surged, endless Nine-colored Divine Power streamed from his Source God Blade, permeating Cold Cliff Fortress and spreading throughout the Wind and Thunder Domain.

The Nine-colored Divine Power flickered with endless light, then formed an Endless Secret Pattern in the void.

The Endless Secret Pattern spread densely around Xiao Yu, covering nearly a hundred light‑years.

A flash of nine‑colored light passed, and the Endless Secret Pattern vanished into the void.

Instantaneously, the power of the Wind and Thunder Domain plummeted to one‑tenth of its original strength.

"What technique is that?" the Eagle Wing Demon God was shocked. "You are not the Divine Eye Clan's Seventh True Lord; the Divine Eye Clan certainly lacks such means."

"Old relic, stop invoking the Divine Eye Clan every time," Xiao Yu growled. "The Divine Eye Clan is ancient history already." (End of chapter)
