Chapter 214: The Truth of the Star Tower

Luo Feng’s mental will observed the blood-red scale at the edge that shimmered with the Twelve Colors. This blood-red scale carried an extremely terrifying sense of oppression. Even Luo Feng’s mental will felt an immense burden.

“This blood-red scale is far more terrifying than that gigantic eye in the dream memory. If a Divine King Ultimate Realm will were to face it directly, it might go insane on the spot!” Luo Feng naturally formed his judgment by comparing the two.

The reason he had previously been unable to peer deeper into the Star Tower was, in fact, a form of protection.

Now that his mental will had grown strong enough, he had naturally glimpsed further.

Of course, that gigantic eye was merely an image from a dream memory. If it truly existed! If the real gigantic eye were to appear… it would be hard to say whether it or this blood-red scale was more terrifying.

“A Beyond Divine King-level will… is that merely the threshold to even look at it?”

“Those Beyond Divine King-level treasures from the Origin Continent… none are said to be this frightening,” Luo Feng thought. The Emperors and Monarchs of the two ancient kingdoms all possessed Beyond Divine King-level treasures.

It was only with their Ultimate Realm lifeforms and powerful treasures that they could compare to the Ruler of the Myriad Realms and the Realm Beasts.

It was said in legends that the ancestors of the two nations were capable of refining Beyond Divine King-level treasures.

“Among those Emperors and Monarchs, aside from Emperor Qing and Emperor Ming, the rest possess only Divine King Ultimate Realm wills! Moreover, many must also split their focus to suppress the chaotic bloodline will. With mental wills like that… they can still unleash the power of their treasures. How could those treasures possibly compare to the Star Tower?”

Luo Feng made his deduction based on all known intelligence and the information gathered from the Infinite Space Treasury—

The Star Tower should far exceed the common Beyond Divine King-level treasures of the Origin Continent.

This made Luo Feng even more cautious.

“Let’s first see just how powerful the Star Tower is.” Luo Feng’s divine power tried to permeate into the vast and mysterious secret patterns deep within the Star Tower. Even at their most superficial level, Luo Feng could only understand a tiny portion.

With even a bit more depth, he understood nothing at all.

It was like a kindergarten child on Earth trying to read a thick book of advanced mathematics—unable even to understand the symbols.

“For the few I do understand, I’ll thoroughly research them first.” Luo Feng was instead quite excited. The more complex these secret patterns were, the higher the level of the Star Tower must be.

“I can identify signs of the Origin Paths of Life, Destruction, Causality, Time, Space, Matter, World, Infinity, and Extremity—nine Origin Paths under the Supreme Laws…”

After all, Luo Feng had once merged his mind with the Supreme Laws and viewed the nine Origin Paths. Though he didn’t understand the other paths well, he could at least categorize them.

“These secret patterns must encompass far more than just nine Origin Paths.”

“The deeper they go, the more intricately they combine, until they ultimately become that blood-red scale.”

“Judging from the superficial secret patterns, the Life-type secret patterns take up 34.1%, Destruction-type 9.2%, and Matter-type about 7%.” Luo Feng could judge the Life-type and Destruction-type with some accuracy. As for the Matter-type, he could roughly estimate, but the rest were too indistinct…

“Life is the core.”

“All the others revolve around it.”

Once Luo Feng categorized them, everything became much clearer, and his divine power began to permeate.

To activate the secret patterns, one had to comprehend the majority of them first. Like facing a tangled ball of thread, one had to first understand how to untangle it—layer by layer, step by step, without a single mistake.

The secret patterns deep within the Star Tower were just like this, only far more profound.

The order of activation, the sequence of combinations, how to coordinate…

Luo Feng had accumulated significant knowledge in the areas of Life and Destruction, and even their combination. With this foundation, he continued researching the shallow secret patterns, and the amount he could activate increased steadily.

“Cultivators usually focus on a single Origin Path. It’s rare to cultivate even two or three.”

“This scale, however, contains at least a dozen Origin Paths, yet combines them perfectly.” Luo Feng was greatly shaken.

While studying how to activate the Life and Destruction secret patterns, Luo Feng’s understanding was vastly expanded!

“There are so many ways to combine Life and Destruction! The methods I’ve tried… are far too crude in comparison.” Luo Feng was like a parched desert, madly absorbing water.

The combination methods for Life and Destruction within the Star Tower’s secret patterns greatly expanded Luo Feng’s horizons, giving him new directions.

“Boom!”

A profound insight into the fusion of Origin Paths surfaced in Luo Feng’s mind.

It was the fusion of the ‘Sky-Cleaving Branch’ and ‘Dark Sky Branch’ of the Origin Path of Destruction, perfectly merging into one. This insight thoroughly revealed all possible combinations of the two branches.

“Second Stage Divine King?” Luo Feng realized.

Upon his first comprehension of the Star Tower’s deep secret patterns, the Origin Path of Destruction naturally reached the Second Stage Divine King level.

This was also due to his deep prior accumulation, as well as the Destruction Demon Body Clone forged using the Scale of Destruction! His accumulation in the Origin Path of Destruction had long unknowingly surpassed that of the Path of Life.

Now that the two branches were completely merged, Luo Feng could easily create countless techniques based on the fusion of ‘Sky-Cleaving’ and ‘Dark Sky’ insights.

However, such techniques would offer little help to Luo Feng’s overall strength.

“Though I could create a new escape technique.” Luo Feng had a thought, and the outline of an escape technique had already taken shape. With a few hundred days of research, he could fully complete it.

But Luo Feng did not allow himself to be distracted, and continued studying the deeper secret patterns of the Star Tower.

This study lasted nearly half an era! Only then did Luo Feng feel he had reached his limits.

“The secret patterns I can activate now are quite decent. Let’s see how powerful they are.” Luo Feng was rather curious.

This time, he completely burned the stronger World Power to begin activating the deep secret patterns of the Star Tower.

“Buzz buzz buzz~~~~”

The Star Tower rested in the Quiet Chamber within the City Lord’s Residence of Huyang City. Luo Feng had also expanded his world domain to envelop the surroundings, isolating it from outside probing. At this moment, the Star Tower trembled slightly, and its might caused Luo Feng’s world domain to quake.

Luo Feng felt as if he were controlling a colossal being. If this colossal being were to rampage, its power would surely surpass the Great Annihilation Form!

“What terrifying might.” Luo Feng sensed slightly but didn’t dare fully unleash it.

Once unleashed, Luo Feng wasn’t confident he could fully restrain its power.

“This power really is frightening.”

Luo Feng was a bit stunned.

The treasures available for exchange in the Infinite Space Treasury, the legendary treasures of the Origin Continent—at his Second Stage Divine King level, he shouldn’t be able to unleash this level of might.

“After my mental will evolved, I could sweep through most Divine Kings in the Origin Continent. But those Emperors and Monarchs… I have no certainty.”

The Emperors and Monarchs all possessed Ultimate Realm lifeforms.

Ultimate Realm lifeforms were extremely complete in themselves, capable of resisting mental will to some extent.

Moreover, the Emperors and Monarchs of the two ancient kingdoms each possessed Beyond Divine King-level treasures. These treasures too had some effect in resisting mental will.

With both factors combined, Luo Feng figured that although he might affect their strength to some degree using mental will, the chances of actually killing them were low.

“In terms of direct combat strength, I’m still inferior to the Emperors.”

“If the Star Tower is exposed…”

“If Emperor Qing, the East Extremity Region Ancestor, or the two national ancestors strike to seize it, would I survive?”

Before those figures, Luo Feng’s mental will would be useless, and their mental wills might even be stronger!

Physical body? Techniques?

The difference would be even more overwhelming!

“It’s not yet time to use the Star Tower,” Luo Feng thought. “And in a little while, without relying on external tools, my strength will reach an entirely new level.”

It wouldn’t be long before he comprehended the Twenty-Four Phases Form.

At that point, by using Primordial Bloodline creature materials, he could forge an even higher-level World Life Form.

“The Ten Directions World Form is the entry-level of World Life Forms.”

“The Twenty-Four Phases Form is what truly displays the might of a World Life Form.” Luo Feng was full of anticipation. “Perhaps even without the Star Tower, I could wrestle with Emperors and Monarchs.”

Among Primordial Bloodline creatures at the Second Stage Divine King level, those with the Twenty-Four Phases Form were already top-tier. And that was assuming they had low intelligence—under Luo Feng’s control, a Twenty-Four Phases Form World Life Form would certainly be even more powerful!

Luo Feng’s mental will could also make the World Life Form even more massive!

“The power of techniques in the Origin Continent has an upper limit—the Divine King Ultimate Realm. This is also why the Flame Wind Ancestor found it hard to kill the Master of the Mother River.”

“The stronger I become, the more power I can draw from the Star Tower.”

“Oh right, and there’s this.”

Luo Feng looked at the Multicolored Seed in his hand.

The Lotus Heart Seed, when planted in the inner world, could grow into a Lotus of Life! It not only increased alignment with the Origin Path of Life, but also made the inner world more stable, filled the body with boundless vitality, and greatly enhanced the physical body.

“The Lotus of Life.”

After redeeming it, Luo Feng received more detailed information.

The larger the inner world, the better the Lotus of Life would grow! It could even be moved outside to battle enemies. Within the body, it enhanced the physical body.

“Plant it.”

Naturally, Luo Feng planted this Lotus Heart Seed in the inner world of his World Life Form’s true body. Since his mental will had evolved, the World Life Form he could control had also become larger.

Currently, Luo Feng’s Small Universe was absorbing energy at maximum capacity, continuously supplying Perfect Divine Power to fuel the World Life Form’s growth.

“Whoosh.”

Inside the World Life Form’s inner world—

When the seed fell deep into the ground, in just a moment, a green sprout broke through the soil and rapidly grew.

The growth rate of the Lotus of Life was astonishing. Using the entire inner world as its foundation, it grew taller and taller, with lotus leaves blooming one by one. Finally, after 1,009 days, the Lotus of Life had grown to the limit that the inner world could support.

Its entire body was bluish-green, and each massive lotus leaf seemed like a world of its own.

There were thirty-six bluish-green lotus leaves in total, and only then did the central stamen begin to shimmer with colors.

This enormous Lotus of Life, with its thirty-six leaves, occupied one-tenth of the entire inner world. Its roots, however, penetrated every corner of the inner world’s ground, making the inner world even more stable.

If Luo Feng were to release his world domain, its might would increase significantly.

This Lotus of Life seemed connected to the Origin Path of Life itself! Naturally, it carried endless vitality.
