Chapter 1210: Before the Black-Striped Stone Pillars

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Rampaging Devil God was a universe supreme master from the second reincarnation era.

There was a great deal of information on the universe supreme masters from the three reincarnation eras and two holy land universes in Luo Feng’s mind. The universe supreme masters could be sorted into different groups. There were some skilled in dealing with souls, some skilled in annihilating material subjects, and some possessing supreme true treasures or not contributed to their differences. And among all the universe supreme masters within the Universe Ocean, Rampaging Devil God was an extremely frightening existence. He dared to name himself “Rampaging.” That said something about his guts.

Regarding his personal ability, he was only considered to be a universe supreme master of normal standard. Yet he was considered terrifying simply because he had that supreme true treasure.

He was a unique life form, and it was in his nature to like swallowing stones, metals, and hard materials as such. He had been born with that extremely hard outer shell! It was said that there was too much essence of rocks and metals coagulated on the outer shell over his godly body, which was why the degree of hardness of this outer shell was unbelievable. Adding on his supreme true treasure armor, it was certainly enough to allow him to run rampant throughout Universe Ocean; that armor was very unique and was named Blood Ocean Devil Armor. Other than the normal defense ability, this Blood Ocean Devil Armor was able to create a surrounding that was filled with the impact of an insane willpower where one seemed to have fallen into “Hell of Blood Ocean.”

“When Rampaging Devil God is battling other universe supreme masters,” Swallow Hawk Master said. “There is nothing outstanding about his performance. Yet against us universe masters, he does have an absolute advantage. Once he goes crazy, his supreme true treasure will let out an outburst of willpower, and that impact will be so strong that even universe supreme masters will be slightly affected. As for us, universe masters, I’m afraid we will be so overwhelmed, instantly… that we will not be able to put up any form of resistance at all!”

Luo Feng nodded solemnly.

“And he is very temperamental. There is no way we can predict his capricious moods.” Swallow Hawk Master was flying as he elaborated amidst sighs. “He is also a loner. Thus, he is not afraid of getting into trouble, which is why, the moment anyone sees this Rampaging Devil God, they would rather make a detour and avoid crossing paths with him!

“If not for Bei Chi Star Master, several other universe masters, as well as myself, would already have left this place. Bei Chi Star Master’s character is extremely likable, and he has spent a very long time comprehending the black-striped stone pillars, so his knowledge is more comprehensive. Bei Chi Star Master tends to share what he has comprehended with everyone, which is always so rewarding for us all.

“Universe supreme masters who are willing to share and guide us are very, very few, so we are all reluctant to leave because of Bei Chi Star Master. Wherever Bei Chi Star Master chooses to reside, Rampaging Devil God will also be more respectful in his behavior. The most detestable thing about him is that… Rampaging Devil God likes to change his looks—especially when he meets newcomers who have never seen him before, much less know his life aura. Meeting Rampaging Devil God in his changed appearance, they will not recognize him at all. They will not have the slightest degree of vigilance… The moment they do something to anger Rampaging Devil God, even for something very minor, I’m afraid annihilation is their only fate.”

Two streaks of rainbow-like light swept across the void space.

As he flew, Luo Feng gradually got a better understanding of the situation.

The space of the black-striped stone pillars had a total of 16 black-striped stone pillars. Blood Orchid Ancestor had stationed himself by the Number 9 black-striped stone pillar a long time ago, while Bei Chi Star Master had stationed himself by the Number 2 black-striped stone pillar, also on a long-term basis. As for Rampaging Devil God, he did not fix himself to a certain stone pillar and liked to wander around randomly in his disguised identities. If one could recognize his aura, then nothing much would happen; on the other hand, not being able to identify him or his aura would mean that danger was near.

“Right ahead will be the Number 2 black-striped stone pillar. It is the place where the majority of great beings in all of the space of black-striped stone pillars gathered.” Spreading his pair of wings, Swallow Hawk Master flew up into the sky at high speed and headed towards the Number 2 celestial magic pillar.

Flying alongside him was Luo Feng, who took a glance at where they were heading toward. It was a towering height that knew no bounds—so tall that it extended all the way past the limits of the field of vision and bore through the foggy atmosphere. As for the base of the black-striped stone pillar, it too had penetrated into the bottommost endless fog.

Hu! Hu! Hu!

A tremendous amount of gigantic rocks orbited the black-striped stone pillars, continuously revolving around the pillars like Earth around the Sun. These sizable rocks tirelessly circled the black-striped stone pillars. Also, amidst the dense and endless ocean of rocks, there could be seen black-tipped architecture that sported some extremely eye-catching and exquisite sculptures. Those were the space chambers.

“I have obtained a black token from Five Chaos Master, but I do not know which space chamber this black token corresponds to,” Luo Feng said to himself. “There are 16 black-striped stone pillars here. Every black-striped stone pillar has some space chambers in its surroundings. The only problem is, I can only detect a sensation if I am close to the space chamber that corresponds with my black token.”

“Seems like I have to try my luck with these 16 black-striped stone pillars one by one.”

In the midst of flying, Swallow Hawk Master was observing Luo Feng. As they approached the Number 2 black-striped stone pillar, the powerful impact of the willpower got stronger.

“Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!”

It was as though an army of millions and billions of soldiers was roaring in battle. To reach them, for great beings who had just become universe masters, they would need all of their might to resist the impact of such strong willpower. But Swallow Hawk Master realized that Luo Feng was unshaken, and his face seemed to tell how effortless this was for him.

“This Luo Feng… His cultivation time is short, yet his willpower is so powerful.” Swallow Hawk Master was shocked. “I have spent a long time cultivating myself. And I also had to spend an extremely long time honing my willpower to reach this high level before I could easily overcome it. How can he resist the impact so easily?

“Swallow Hawk Master,” said Luo Feng as he pointed into the distance. Several great beings seemed to be entrenched on the gigantic rocks orbiting some of the black-striped stone pillars. “At a single glance, I can already see a handful of great beings. Where the Number 2 black-striped stone pillar is, exactly how many great beings are there?”

“Close to 100,” Swallow Hawk Master replied right away. “As you can see, they are all at different distances from the black-striped stone pillar. Some are further; some are nearer. This all depends on the willpower of the individual great beings… If your willpower is stronger, you can naturally choose a spot nearer to the black-striped stone pillar to rest. In the deepest area, you will find Bei Chi Star Master.”

Sou! Sou!

Two streaks of light speedily flew toward the black-striped stone pillar.

What did it really mean to say that the black-striped stone pillar was as tall as 1,000 light years? The entire solar system, when compared to it, was merely a small dot. The closer you got to it, the loftier it felt. That formidable aura was so strong that it made Luo Feng shudder. This was indeed worthy of being known to all as a treasure more unique than a supreme true treasure. Until that very day, no universe supreme master dared to go near it—much less to touch it.

“Milky Way Horde Leader,” Swallow Hawk Master could not help saying. “The nearer we are, the stronger the impact of that willpower. My usual mediation area is in the deeper region, and that area is near to my tolerance limit, so I can use it to hone my willpower all the more. If it gets overbearing for you, do let me know beforehand.”

“That’s good. I can take the chance to test my limit.” Luo Feng laughed.

The two flew toward the inner region. Swallow Hawk Master continued to closely observe Luo Feng. From his point of view, Luo Feng had merely cultivated for slightly more than ten eras. Even if he were to start honing his willpower from his moment of birth, how strong could he become? Yet Luo Feng’s expression was natural and relaxed. Obviously, the impact of the willpower did not exhaust him at all, much less push him to his limit.

“Swallow Hawk Master, as we get nearer to the stone pillar, time velocity is also continuously changing, Luo Feng commented. “The time velocity here is already as fast as 200 times more. What about the place you usually go to when honing your willpower? How many times faster is the time velocity over there?”

“The nearer we are, the faster the rate of acceleration of time velocity,” Swallow Hawk Master said. “The time velocity in the area where I hone my skills is around 1,100 times. For someone like Bei Chi Master, whose willpower is extremely terrifying among all the universe supreme masters, he has cultivated for a period longer than one reincarnation era. According to him, the place where he cultivates has a time velocity that is as fast as 130,000 times more.”

Luo Feng was dumbfounded. It was no wonder even Rampaging Devil God had to give credit to Bei Chi Master. This gentle-tempered existence from the first reincarnation era who did not mind sharing his experience and knowledge with others was simply too powerful for words. Solely his willpower alone could be so terrifying. If he were to venture into the studies of illusion, the amount of fear he could instill in other great beings would be out of the world. Even executing something as simple as a soul attack, when coupled with his willpower, would result in an invincible soul attack.

This great existence also had an extraordinary perspective on life. Even when he was nearing his doomsday, he was still able to cultivate quietly; at times, he would openly share his comprehensions. Other times, he would simply exist in peaceful silence.

“Swallow Hawk Master?”

“By his side… that silver-armored, black-haired human? That must be Silver Wings Horde Leader Luo Feng.”

In the surrounding area of the black-striped stone pillar, several universe masters had also noticed that Swallow Hawk Master and Luo Feng were making their way toward the inner region, much deeper in from where they were. These universe masters were secretly in shock… To be able to venture further and deeper in, obviously the willpower of Luo Feng was much stronger than theirs. They were in disbelief that someone with such a short cultivation period could have a willpower that was so strong.

Amongst them, there were some who were very powerful and had strong fighting abilities, but that did not mean that they had terrifying willpower. After all, out of almost 100 universe masters, only a fraction of them honed their willpower for the long term. The majority of them were only there for a short break. The area they were at was merely a safe transit stop.

“That is my cultivation place.” Swallow Hawk Master was flying at high speed and soon landed on a piece of gigantic rock that was speeding through the air. Luo Feng landed likewise.

“Milky Way Horde Leader, you are able to resist the impact of the willpower of this place. You have earned my admiration.” Swallow Hawk Master was impressed.

Luo Feng laughed. Luckily for him, he had gone through the honing process within the space of the wings.

Given his past—before the time spent in the space of the wings—if he were to be in this space that he was in now, he would have likely been sprawled on the floor with his entire body trembling, gritting his teeth while perspiring profusely. But now, he could only feel exhaustion, nothing else!

“Oh, there is still quite a number of universe masters ahead.”

Luo Feng was surprised to see that a distance away from where they were, at an area nearer to the black-striped stone pillars, there was, indeed, a handful of great beings on the gigantic rock.

“Yes, although there are close to 100 universe masters gathered here, more than half are just here to take a temporary break and not intentionally here to hone their willpower for cultivation. The ones who are here with the intention of honing their willpower normally would be of a relatively higher standard in regards to their willpower, as compared to their peers. There are also some whose willpower has reached the pinnacle level of a universe master. As for those who passed the bottleneck and achieved a breakthrough… their willpower is now comparable to that of a universe supreme master!”

“Look! That—that—that… Those 19! At an almost similar distance away from the black-striped stone pillars, these 19 universe masters have reached the ultimate limit of a universe master’s willpower. If they want to make further progress, they will have to pass the bottleneck of a universe master. And thereafter, they will undergo qualitative changes to attain willpower that is comparable to that of a universe supreme master.”

“Look, deeper in…” Swallow Hawk Master explained. “Other than Bei Chi Star Master, standing even closer to the black-striped stone pillars as compared to the 19 universe masters, I can see two other great beings. Actually, there are three! These three universe masters… all have a willpower comparable to a universe supreme master. These three are, respectively, from the two holy land universes and the first reincarnation era.”

Luo Feng lamented. He was afraid of being at a comparable standard as the other 19 universe masters!

No one would have expected to find three universe masters, whose willpower was comparable to that of universe supreme masters within this space of the black-striped stone pillars. Throughout the entire Universe Ocean, how many can be found?

“Right,” said Swallow Hawk Master. “Out of the three universe masters, there is one from the Divine Eye Clan. You previously annihilated the Divine Eye Clan’s Ultimate Arrow Master and Five Chaos Master. That places great enmity between you and the Divine Eye Clan, so you had better practice more caution.”

“Oh, what is he called?” Luo Feng asked.

“Divine Eye Clan… Clear Eye Master!” Swallow Hawk Master said solemnly.

There was a slight change in Luo Feng’s expression. “It’s him!”
