Black Emperor Palace Chapter

Luo Feng sensed a force wrapping around him. In an instant, heaven and earth flipped, and he found himself inside an extremely secret space.

In that instant, Luo Feng knew that divine sense was completely suppressed within this space. He could only rely on his perception to judge his surroundings.

He could not even fly, immediately putting Luo Feng on guard.

Everything before him was a vast expanse of white.

Luo Feng's gaze was quickly drawn to the thirteen towering peaks in the distance. From each peak emanated something whose aura made his heart tremble. Of them, the auras from eight peaks were the most powerful and majestic—they were clearly Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasures. The other five had vastly different auras and meanings from those eight, but judging by his perception, they were likely precious treasures or something else of similar value.

"What a powerful pressure."

"From what this Old Tree Monster said, there are eight Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasures here, as well as some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Their rarity is no less than that of Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasures."

As Luo Feng sensed them, he could not help secretly rejoicing.

However, recalling the Nine-Colored Whip he had obtained, its pressure did not seem nearly this strong. The pressure of these eight treasures was far more intense than that of the Nine-Colored Whip.

"Perhaps when I seized the Nine-Colored Whip back then, it was controlled by the Demon Ancestor, so its own pressure was restrained. Then I suppressed it and it began nurturing a spirit anew, which is why it seems so weak." After making the comparison, Luo Feng came to a simple analysis.

Now, Luo Feng focused his attention on the eight Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasures. Obtaining even one would be the simplest way to increase his strength.

The eight treasures occupied eight mountain peaks, each with a different aura.

One of them resembled a Flame Mountain, with raging flames burning upon it. Its pressure was so powerful that even Luo Feng was moved.

One of them rippled with intense Space Power. When Luo Feng looked at it, he seemed to see countless worlds evolving within it, incomparably mystical.

One of them emitted sword intent that soared into the heavens, sharp and piercing.

There were also ones emitting Thunder Power, immense heaviness, vigorous vitality, endless deathly intent, and dazzling radiance.

The eight Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasures were connected to eight kinds of Dao Power: flame, space, sword, lightning, earth, vitality, death, and light.

"There's a sword, but not a saber?" The Path of the Saber that Luo Feng had hoped for was absent, leaving him somewhat disappointed. If there were a saber, it could absolutely change the current balance of his strength.

As he pondered, a message entered Luo Feng's mind at that moment. "Little fellow, you may choose only one mountain. Once you choose, there will be no regrets. Whether you succeed depends on your own ability. Succeed, and you may take the treasure. Fail, and you will gain nothing and be expelled from this space."

Clearly, these were the rules here.

"I can only choose one? And there's a chance of failure?"

Luo Feng shuddered. It seemed these thirteen treasures would not be so easy to obtain. From the sound of it, there would likely be a trial as well.

Luo Feng's gaze could not help turning toward the mountain that emitted soaring sword intent. In a sense, saber and sword shared the same origin. Perhaps the sword would be more suitable.

"Master, over there, over there—there's something over there that is very good. I need it badly." However, at that moment, Luo Feng sensed the Star Tower Spirit proactively sending him a message. Its voice seemed somewhat excited.

"Oh?" Following the Star Tower's guidance, Luo Feng looked toward one of the mountain peaks.

There, obscure spacetime power also rippled, accompanied by a faint hint of chaos and wisps of weak rule power. It was extremely concealed, containing all kinds of rule power. Thus, in Luo Feng's initial perception, it was a chaotic and disordered state, and his first instinct had been to exclude it from consideration.

If the Star Tower Spirit had not pointed it out, Luo Feng likely would not have paid any attention to it.

However, from the Old Tree Monster, he knew that even if the things here were not Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasures, they were no less valuable than them.

By coincidence, none of the eight Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasures was sufficiently compatible with him. Even if he chose that sword, it would probably be equivalent to choosing a Quasi Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure. The increase in strength would be extremely limited, perhaps even nonexistent.

For example, when he used the Nine-Colored Whip, it only displayed the power of a Quasi Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure and provided no help at all. That was why he had used it to stabilize Dao Peak Continent.

Luo Feng's first thought had been that saber and sword shared the same origin, so he wanted to choose the longsword. But although they shared the same origin, that did not necessarily mean he could wield it with saber intent.

Therefore, in essence, perhaps none of the eight Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasures suited him.

But if it was something the Star Tower had set its sights on, then it was different.

"Then I'll choose it."

By this point, Luo Feng already had his answer. The thirteen mountain peaks might differ in difficulty, but the Star Tower's choice was his choice. Even if Luo Feng could not understand it, there was no need for hesitation.

Immediately, Luo Feng headed toward that mountain peak.

As he approached, the earlier sensation instead grew increasingly intense. There was spacetime power, but even more was the chaotic disorder of chaos. All kinds of rule power were born and annihilated, as though a world were being created and destroyed.

There was a layer of barrier outside the mountain before him.

Whoosh!

Without any hesitation, Luo Feng passed directly through the barrier and completely entered the range of this mountain peak. This also meant he no longer had any other choice.

At this moment, Luo Feng's sensation was extremely intense. The spacetime power of the thing on the mountain was inferior to that of the space-oriented Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure, but only now did Luo Feng truly sense how extraordinary it was. It was like a mass of chaos. Across the surface of this mountain, the ten great rule powers were constantly being born, only to be annihilated shortly afterward. There even seemed to be rules of other Daos as well.

"Why does this thing feel somewhat familiar?"

When Luo Feng saw it, he immediately thought of the "Void Abyss Chaos" that the Devouring Beast of the Source World had given him. But this thing was clearly far more miraculous than Void Abyss Chaos, because it could generate all kinds of heaven-and-earth rules. According to the Old Tree Monster, it was in no way inferior to a Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

"Master, I need it badly! If I possess it, I will definitely be able to complete my transformation!" This time, the Star Tower Spirit directly conveyed an intense desire.

Clearly, now that it had arrived here, its perception had become even stronger.

A sharp gleam flashed in Luo Feng's eyes. This might be the opportunity for the Star Tower's transformation. If it could truly complete its transformation, then even giving up a Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure would be an enormous gain.

Moreover, the Star Tower was his true hope of survival this time.

Even a palace-type Quasi Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure could be shattered. If he wanted to survive within this Black Emperor Palace, a Star Tower at the level of a Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure was indispensable.

Luo Feng nodded, a sharp gleam in his eyes. "Don't worry. Your choice is my choice. You've refined so many Crystal Cores without transforming, but I hope you won't disappoint me this time."

Without hesitation, Luo Feng began walking up the mountain.

However, Luo Feng remained very cautious. Here, even divine sense was suppressed, and he could not even fly. If anything unexpected happened, it would be troublesome.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, Luo Feng detected a Will Impact and oppressive pressure bearing down upon him. Within it, there also seemed to be all kinds of illusion power.

As expected, obtaining this treasure would not be so simple.

But he had experienced Will Impacts far too many times. As long as there were no other dangers, there should not be much of a problem.

"Hmph!" Luo Feng stepped inside and could not help letting out a muffled grunt.

This pressure was quite strong.

A small stone stairway led up the mountain, and Luo Feng followed it upward. The increasing pressure remained within an acceptable range, but when he was about to reach the summit, Luo Feng finally felt pain and strain. His face turned pale as all kinds of illusion power around him sought to influence him. Yet Luo Feng's heart was like a saber, and everything was directly severed.

The moment resentment began to rise in his heart, it was cut away.

This could not stop him.

"Break!" Luo Feng roared inwardly, directly breaking through the final step and entering the summit.

At this point, the Will Impact had nearly reached the limit of what he could endure. Yet Luo Feng withstood it, and a smile appeared on his face.

What Luo Feng did not know was that if he had also entered the Supreme Source World by stepping over countless living beings, affected by the resentment of the myriad beings within his body, then obtaining this treasure would have been almost impossible.

"What a wonderful treasure." A smile appeared on Luo Feng's pale face.

Having arrived here, although he did not know this thing's specific name, he understood its true origin. It was actually the World Origin Heart of one of the Five Great Worlds. For certain reasons, it had been unable to fully develop into a complete world, but its value naturally far exceeded that of a Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

At this moment, the Star Tower also conveyed excitement.

Before him floated an object that resembled "Void Abyss Chaos," suspended in the air above the mountaintop. It was at exactly the same height as Luo Feng, within reach.

A spatial barrier surrounded the object, but it did not seem very strong.

Having arrived here, Luo Feng knew that this thing should belong to him.

Still, he remained cautious. His entire body was prepared, so that if any accident occurred, he would have the strength to resist.

Luo Feng stepped forward and stretched out his hands to "pick" it. When his hand touched the barrier power, it seemed the barrier was merely for show. His hand passed through, and at that moment, Luo Feng felt an intense force surging from within the object. This force had neither form nor appearance. It struck at Luo Feng's thoughts and consciousness, while vast numbers of rules were born and annihilated, affecting his comprehension of all kinds of Daos and rules.

It even stirred certain desires and resentments within his heart.

"Hmph!" Luo Feng guarded his mind. Immediately, power from his hand wrapped around the "World Origin Heart," slowly taking it out.

At this point, Luo Feng could sense that the World Origin Heart was no longer affected by this mountain peak. With a thought, he immediately sent the entire object into the Star Tower.

Within the Star Tower's Source Space, that chaos-like mass appeared directly at the central core. The Star Tower Spirit also appeared there, greedily watching the mass. So long as it could refine it, not only could it transform itself, but the Star Tower should also undergo another transformation of its rules.

Without hesitation, the Star Tower Spirit began greedily absorbing its power.

After Luo Feng stored the treasure in the Star Tower, he immediately felt a repulsive force from this world. The treasure had been taken, and it seemed ready to expel him.

Luo Feng felt that force increasingly wrapping around him. Then, after another dizzying shift of heaven and earth, Luo Feng appeared outside the palace, on the platform beneath the Ten Thousand Souls Ancient Tree.

Upon returning to the outside world, Luo Feng immediately sensed countless gazes upon him. As for whether Luo Feng had gained anything, they did not know, because they could not judge from his expression.

"Little fellow, do you still need to enter another level of the palace? If you do not have a complete puzzle, you can only leave this place. Otherwise, you will be killed." The Ten Thousand Souls Ancient Tree smiled as it spoke, knowingly asking the question.

Naturally, Luo Feng still had quite a few complete patterns.
