Azure City

Four Divine Heavens occupied the area within tens of millions of kilometers around a wormhole. They had proactively sealed the space throughout the wormhole's vicinity. Anyone wishing to pass through had to pay them an exorbitant toll before they would lift the spatial blockade.

After setting out from the Meng'an Tribe and flying for roughly five years, Luo Feng and his group finally arrived near the outermost edge of the wormhole.

From afar, the space ahead was twisted across a span of tens of millions of kilometers, like a gigantic spatial vortex collapsing inward. It was the natural wormhole leading to Azure City.

Luo Feng and the others stopped.

The space directly ahead was already within the range of a powerful formation.

"Four Divine Heavens have really spent a fortune." Sensing the formation's fluctuations, Luo Feng was mildly astonished. An ordinary Eternal True God caught within it would truly find every step difficult. Even if he entered it himself, getting out would likely take some time.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as Luo Feng's group's spaceship stopped, the surrounding void was brought under control. Four figures of differing appearances instantly teleported before the ship. Clearly, they were not from the same race.

"Are you two planning to pass through the wormhole?" A thunderous voice rolled over them.

"That's right." Luo Feng's voice rang out. "Have your four leaders come out. Otherwise, let us through. I don't want to waste words with you."

At the same time, invisible pressure spread from Luo Feng's body.

"An Eternal True God." The four alien beings who had arrived immediately felt immense pressure bearing down on them, and their expressions changed. This pressure was no weaker than that of any one of their four leaders—perhaps even far stronger.

Powerhouses did not need to pay tolls. Otherwise, it would be a slap in their faces.

These four alien beings did not dare provoke Luo Feng. His attitude was already clear: if they remained so tactless, he could likely kill them in a single exchange. Yet they did not dare let him pass on their own authority either. The best course was to inform their leaders and let them decide.

"My lord, I have informed the leaders. Please wait a moment." The leading alien being spoke somewhat stiffly.

Luo Feng was in no hurry.

In just a moment, the surrounding heavens and earth suddenly seemed to transform into a Miniature Universe. Primal Chaos currents drifted through it, and terrifying pressure filled the entire space.

"Hm? Nothing? I can't sense them even within my Miniature Universe. Looks like they're a tough bone." The Miniature Universe that had just enveloped the area instantly vanished.

"Let them pass!" A voice entered the minds of the four alien beings.

Having received the order, the four alien beings did not dare delay. They immediately controlled the formation and withdrew the spatial blockade.

"Please, two seniors." The leading alien being remained deferential.

Luo Feng frowned slightly. With a thought, the Thoughtless Universe formed. An even more vast and powerful Miniature Universe enveloped the entire wormhole region, and incomparably powerful pressure descended. The four alien beings lost their balance and fell from the sky one after another. Meanwhile, the four Eternal True Gods who had been cultivating in their residences were also enveloped by the Miniature Universe. In an instant, they felt the incomparably powerful oppression within it. The force was simply horrifying; within such a Miniature Universe, they feared they could not even display a tenth of their strength.

Most terrifyingly, this Miniature Universe was actually filled with the origin power of destruction. That left them without even the slightest thought of resistance.

"This is a return gift." The Eternal True God who had just released his Miniature Universe to conduct Exploration wore an ugly expression, yet he did not dare respond in the slightest.

The other three leaders looked equally grim, but they too dared not voice their anger.

They had been disrespectful first, and this was merely a return gift—a small punishment, at most.

Realizing that these four Eternal True Gods were merely soft targets, Luo Feng secretly shook his head. Using his perception of space within the universe, he wrapped the Mechanical Stream spaceship in divine power and teleported directly to the wormhole entrance. Then he entered it and vanished from this stretch of space.

"What terrifying strength. Just who is he? We have never encountered someone like him before."

"I tried to control this spacetime and investigate him just now, but I could not sense him at all. His strength is far beyond mine. No wonder he was so arrogant—this is our territory."

"Second Brother, you were far too reckless. Fortunately, he had no intention of killing us. Otherwise, Four Divine Heavens would have been finished."

"If this happens again, be careful and cautious. If we truly encounter someone with a bad temper, our good days will be over."

As the Miniature Universe disappeared, the four consciousnesses exchanged messages repeatedly, each carrying a lingering hint of fear.

The other end of the wormhole connected to a desolate region of the Azure Domain. From there, Azure City was still nearly seventy thousand light-years away.

The moment Luo Feng emerged from the wormhole, he clearly sensed a sweep of divine consciousness pass over him.

The Origin Continent's forces were tangled and complex. In practically every place, there were bands of bandits who specialized in robbery.

Four Divine Heavens counted as one such bandit organization, and another force occupied the other end of the wormhole as well. However, the force on this side was clearly much weaker, with only seven Void True Gods.

For Void True Gods to dare rob Eternal True Gods would be a joke.

Luo Feng merely swept out a warning with his divine consciousness, and no one dared make a move. They could only watch as his spaceship quietly departed.

More than forty years passed in the blink of an eye.

More than four hundred thousand years had also passed within the Inheritance Space. Yet Luo Feng still had no clue how to create the third blade technique of the Eternal True God level. Having fused six laws, attempting to merge in a seventh was exponentially more difficult. Even if Luo Feng were given another million years, he might not necessarily succeed.

Azure City was considered a famous major city even within the You Mountain Empire. Like a majestic lion, it sprawled across a vast plateau.

Azure City was enormous, measuring over two light-years in both length and width. Countless living beings dwelled within it.

Aside from the City Lord's Manor, Azure City was mainly divided among eight major forces. These eight forces were extraordinarily ancient. They had already been established powers in Azure City before the Evil Eye Domain Lord arrived. Even the Evil Eye Domain Lord did not dare pressure them too harshly. If he went too far and the eight forces joined hands, his position as city lord would not be easy to maintain.

"Azure City." Luo Feng gazed at the grand city in the distance. Its majestic aura rushed toward him, leaving him deeply impressed.

He had never seen a city of such scale. All kinds of spaceships and flying figures came and went throughout the region outside the city. Yet above the city itself, not a single spaceship or figure could be seen.

Flight was prohibited in most areas of Azure City. Violators would be directly slain by the city-protecting formation.

Luo Feng knew that the entire Azure City was covered by a super formation. This formation had been created by a God King of the Secret Pattern School. Even Saint Realm experts would not dare force their way through it; if they did not die, they would at least be severely injured.

There was no concept of formations in the Primal Universe or the Universe Ocean. Formations were an important branch of the Secret Pattern School.

Azure City was the first city Luo Feng and Morosa had reached. Countless beings of different races gathered here. There were humans as well, but compared to the alien races, they were extremely uncommon. Among the innumerable figures Luo Feng saw outside the city, fewer than five even looked human.

In Azure City, Humanity did not seem to be a major race.

"Let's enter first." Luo Feng put away the spaceship. At this moment, it felt as though he had returned to the time when he had first entered the universe, when everything was new.

The honest-looking Morosa followed at his side, his face also filled with anticipation.

"World Beasts don't seem to be all about slaughter after all." Luo Feng shook his head with a smile. It seemed that Morosa, the World Beast King, was even more excited than he was by these novel things.

To enter the city, those without a fixed identity within it had to pay "money."

On the Origin Continent, the most universally accepted form of "money" was a crystal called a Source Crystal. Crystals similar to "universe crystals," used to restore divine power, were also a mainstream currency. On the Origin Continent, they were called Source Crystals and could restore divine power.

Besides Source Crystals, another mainstream currency was a crystal called a Soul Crystal. It could rapidly restore one's mental energy. In places without wormholes or teleportation formations, one had to travel by repeated teleportation, which depleted mental energy too quickly. Excessive mental exhaustion severely affected one's strength, and mental energy could not be restored in a very short time. Thus, using Soul Crystals to rapidly restore mental energy was especially important.

Therefore, Soul Crystals were accepted as currency by most people and gradually became one of the mainstream currencies.

One unit of Soul Crystal was worth one hundred units of Source Crystal. Soul Crystals were rarer, and transactions were generally conducted with Source Crystals; Soul Crystals were used comparatively less often.

Within the Meng'an Tribe, Luo Feng had also collected nearly one hundred thousand units of Soul Crystals and a trillion units of Source Crystals, so he was not short on money.

After paying twenty thousand units of Source Crystals, Luo Feng and Morosa were able to enter the city.

There was a rule within the city: one's body had to be kept below one hundred kilometers in height. It could be shrunk without limit, but it could not exceed the maximum of one hundred kilometers. Therefore, those with divine bodies spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers or even measured in light-years could only enter after voluntarily shrinking their divine bodies.

Luo Feng was originally accustomed to an Earthling's height, but here in the city, that made him seem incomparably tiny. He could only enlarge his divine body to nearly one hundred kilometers tall to feel more balanced.

As they stepped into the city, towering buildings of every kind filled their vision from near to far. Each of these buildings looked immensely grand, like a carved work of art—exquisite and beautiful, with all manner of styles and designs.

Having just arrived, Luo Feng was seeing such a sight for the first time, and he was utterly amazed.

These buildings even seemed alive. They could change into different appearances according to their owners' wishes.

"How unusual. It feels like every building is a work of art." He had originally thought places like this would be crude, but he had been completely wrong.

The Origin Continent had existed for endless years. Countless civilizations had gone through great collisions and then great fusion. Their understanding of aesthetics was simply beyond anything the Primal Universe could compare to.

"Come on, let's first visit the Thousand Treasures Pavilion and see whether we can find any treasures that will let you evolve to the Saint level." Luo Feng had already made his plans before coming. First, he would seek materials that could allow Morosa, who had reached the limit of the Eternal True God level, to evolve to the Saint level and break through.

A Saint-level enforcer would be enough to let Luo Feng walk sideways through many places on the Origin Continent.

"Thank you, Master." The honest-looking Morosa said happily.
