Humans devour, and the proverb "living off a woman is eternal" holds true.

Through mutual verification, both felt they had made great progress and gained a lot.

Lin Hao's mastery of the Secret Pattern Flow has entered a period of rapid improvement.

……

"Alright, we're out of the abyss now. I'm leaving first. Be careful, especially Luo Feng, make sure nothing like this happens again."

"That's what the mountain dweller said."

"is teacher."

Luo Feng bowed in thanks.

"Hey, senior, don't forget the Chaos Treasure you promised me!"

Lin Hao secretly transmitted his voice.

"When did I agree to that..."

The Mountain Guest looked at Lin Hao with a helpless expression and transmitted his voice, "Why don't you lower your requirements? A Chaos Treasure? How dare you ask for it? There are no materials to be found in the Cosmic Sea."

"Please don't lower the price! I can wait if I don't have the materials; there will always be other opportunities. You can't be biased; I didn't even ask for the Star Tower level!"

Lin Hao responded half-jokingly.

You should know that the Star Tower is a supreme treasure of the God-King level!

He only asked for one Chaos Treasure as payment for his future assistance, which was not an unreasonable request.

After all, he already possessed the Void True God-level Burning Lotus Flame, so his aspirations naturally needed to be higher.

"Whatever, I'm leaving..."

The mountain dweller shook his head helplessly, feeling that he had miscalculated. He hadn't expected this kid to be so knowledgeable and have such a deep understanding!

Immediately afterwards, the azure stone peak and the blood-red palace formed by the Star Tower parted ways amidst the endless frozen lake and thunderous flames.

……

The crimson palace advanced rapidly toward the black-patterned stone pillars.

When encountering dangerous terrain, they simply force their way through without fear.

Inside the Star Tower, in the control room.

Lin Hao and Luo Feng sat leisurely, with fine wine and rare fruits laid out on the table in front of them.

Lin Hao held his wine glass, slowly savoring it, and looked around nostalgically: "Tsk tsk, the famous Star Tower, back then I was able to give the Void Demon God a hard time with it... But speaking of which, this really is a good place for secluded cultivation!"

"Haha, Senior Brother is awesome!"

Luo Feng laughed, then boasted a little, "When I first recognized you as my master, I found it novel and intriguing, and I wished I could stay here to cultivate every day. But after a while, I got used to it."

These words made Lin Hao's face darken: "Go away, don't be so smug in front of me! It's just a supreme treasure, look at you, you can't even stop smiling!"

"Ha ha!"

Luo Feng burst into laughter.

He was very relaxed in front of Lin Hao and didn't need to pretend at all.

They've known each other since they were teenagers at a martial arts school.

Along the way, Lin Hao helped Luo Feng a lot, and in Luo Feng's heart, Lin Hao was like an older brother.

The four people who came out of Earth together back then—Lin Hao, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen.

Although Luo Feng also had a deep friendship with Hong and Lei Shen, Lin Hao would undoubtedly be ranked first in terms of closeness.

Because of Luo Feng's current level, his former friends and brothers can no longer catch up.

Only Lin Hao remained by his side, and was even the goal that Luo Feng was currently striving to catch up with.

Of course, Luo Feng did not forget Hong and Lei Shen.

If given the opportunity, he would definitely do everything in his power to help.

But they were destined to be unable to keep up with him.

On the path to becoming a strong person, a partner who can grow alongside you is of paramount importance.

Even the best of friends and brothers will inevitably drift apart once the gap in strength becomes too large and one falls behind.

They might meet occasionally, or lend a helping hand when the other is in trouble.

The affection remains, but we can no longer walk side by side.

……

"It will take several hundred years to reach the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar. During this time, let's all seize the opportunity to comprehend the secret runes."

Lin Hao said, "It won't be as easy as it is now when we get there to temper our will. We'll need to be distracted to resist the impact on our will, which will reduce the effectiveness of our training."

"Ah."

Luo Feng nodded.

The impact of willpower alone is too weak and the effect is not obvious; it needs to be accumulated and improved slowly over time.

If the impact on one's will is too strong, one must devote mental energy to resisting it.

When the impact reaches its limit, it requires all one's strength to resist, making cultivation impossible.

Luo Feng urgently needed to elevate his will to the level of the strongest in the universe in order to return to the Qingfeng Realm and retrieve the core components of the wings.

Lin Hao also wanted to see if the black-patterned stone pillar would still have a tempering effect on his current Void True God level will.

They certainly won't just slowly approach from the outside; they'll keep going deeper and closer to the black-veined stone pillar.

Fortunately, time flows faster there. The closer you get to the black-veined stone pillar, the stronger the impact on your will and the faster the time flows, which can to some extent compensate for the losses caused by being distracted in resisting the impact.

Otherwise, simply honing their willpower would be of little significance to them.

After a brief chat, the two returned to their respective cultivation practices.

time flies.

Lin Hao and Luo Feng each began their own cultivation.

The crimson palace, formed from the Star Tower, traversed one dangerous place after another within the spaceship, heading towards its destination.

The battle in the abyss was almost completely unknown to the outside world.

The Divine Eye Clan suffered a loss, but did not make a fuss about it, so that all the major forces in the universe were unaware of it.

Even within the Divine Eye Clan, aside from the Seven True Lords, other universe lords have limited knowledge of the matter.

They were strictly forbidden from provoking the Giant Axe Founder and the Lord of the Yellow Heaven, the original humans of the primordial universe, and were required to avoid them if they encountered them.

Therefore, the major powers were unaware that another being comparable to the Primordial One had been born in the Cosmic Sea—the Giant Axe.

And a being with astonishing potential, who may reach the level of a Primordial Being in the future—the Lord of Yellow Heaven.

As for the abyss, the whereabouts of the Silver Wings Treasure and the Extinction God Armor have become a mystery, sparking countless speculations among powerful figures.

Could it be that it was obtained and kept by some of the strongest beings in the universe?

In the days that followed, the founder of the giant axe, who had ventured deep into the inner domain of the spaceship, did not report any new astonishing achievements.

At that level, battles rarely occur unless it's for treasure or to settle scores.

……

In a hidden space within the abyss, on an island, Lin Hao's divine power avatar, dressed in a simple black robe, stood before a stone wall, silently studying the secret patterns left behind by the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

Although the Mountain-Sitting Guest had only observed for a few days, the several secret patterns he had comprehended were already extremely profound, representing the mysteries of the strongest level in the universe, which greatly benefited Lin Hao and Luo Feng.

These runes are simplified versions of the most powerful arcane runes of that ancient being.

On the other side, Luo Feng's divine power avatar, dressed in casual white clothes, strolled leisurely on the island, seemingly relaxed, but in reality, his consciousness was focused on studying the secret rune diagram.

Occasionally, the two would exchange their thoughts.

Lin Hao usually consults Luo Feng more often.

In the field of secret rune diagrams, Luo Feng's foundation is indeed much deeper than Lin Hao's.

Luo Feng was also very generous with his knowledge; whenever Lin Hao asked him about anything he knew, he would patiently answer his questions.

When they encounter something that neither of them understands, they discuss it together.

"A rare opportunity."

Lin Hao understood, "All roads lead to the same destination. The ends of all roads are connected. Any road that leads to the ultimate law is a good road! I need to study it carefully, deepen my mastery of the secret pattern flow, lay a solid foundation, and accumulate knowledge. The deeper my foundation, the easier it will be to comprehend the law in the future."

He was clear about his future path—the path of divine power to become a true god was to build a stronger foundation, but ultimately he still needed to return to the path of the laws.

The Secret Pattern Flow is an excellent auxiliary method.

……

More than three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Star Tower has overcome one dangerous situation after another.

During this period, he encountered the birth of a supreme treasure along the way, and Luo Feng would occasionally go out to participate in the competition, mainly to hone his skills through combat.

He used a disguised identity—the Lord of Rending Gold!

It was transformed from the Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor and gradually made a name for itself within the spaceship.

The Lord of Rending Gold first appeared more than three hundred years ago during a battle for a supreme treasure aboard a spaceship.

No one had seen him before, but the fact that he dared to enter the inner domain of the spaceship itself showed that he was not weak.

Later, it was Luo Feng himself who called himself "Liejin" (裂金), and that's when the name started to spread.

From then on, there was one more person in the universe.

Initially, it only made a brief appearance, but over the next three hundred years, it participated in two small-scale battles, demonstrating strength that was roughly at the fourth-tier level.

It wasn't until a recent incident in Bohai that Luo Feng's true identity was exposed.

The danger level of the Starry Sea is no less than that of the God-Slaying Abyss, and the area is much larger, with several treasure spots. As a result, several forces have been stationed here for a long time.

As they passed by the Star Tower, a top-tier domain-level treasure was born, instantly triggering a chaotic battle.

Luo Feng also made a move.
