Fall

Milky Way Holy Land. Fortunately, Luo Feng was currently in secluded cultivation, and no one knew that his divine power incarnation had dissipated.

At the origin land of the Sacred Land Universe, Luo Feng's will seemed to have fallen into slumber, sinking through endless reincarnations.

"Ah!!"

A young man was pinned down firmly as he roared madly.

Before him were his parents and his younger brother and sister, being tortured slash by slash by a group of men in black. First their hands were cut off, then their feet, followed by their skin being peeled away inch by inch... Their miserable cries continuously begged for mercy, yet the men in black not only did not stop, but instead broke into crazed laughter, thoroughly enjoying it all.

"You deserve to die. All of you deserve to die." The young man was furious, despairing, terrified as he watched those closest to him being tortured one after another.

He hated them. He raged, yet he could do nothing.

"Be furious, despair. In the end, you will discover that you killed them. We are your demons, we are your evil. We are merely a part of you... Hahaha, hahaha..."

The young man's consciousness seemed to slowly sink.

Soon, he woke again. The men in black had vanished, but his parents, younger brother, and younger sister were all dead.

"No! No!"

The young man roared as he saw that every one of those men in black looked exactly like him, as though he himself had killed those closest to him.

"No, that's not it. It can't be. It definitely wasn't me, not me..." The young man clutched his head, pain splitting it apart as the world spun around him.

"That was you. That was you, Luo Feng. It was all you. You did everything. You killed them. You killed them. You killed those closest to you. You deserve to die, you deserve to die..." Another crazed voice thundered through the young man's mind.

The young man was despairing, furious, terrified; every kind of emotion surfaced within him.

Suddenly, he smiled. He began to laugh.

"Yes, you're right. I deserve to die. I, Luo Feng, deserve to die. Dad, Mom, A-Hua, Xiaoxin, I'm coming to find you..."

A knife appeared in the young man's hand, about to stab into his own heart...

"Wake up, wake up. This is fake. This is fake. It's all fake." The young man's hand suddenly began to tremble violently, and Luo Feng's clarity was unmistakable in his eyes.

"Damn it." The young man instantly regained consciousness, but in the next moment, he sank again...

"Dear, stop gambling already. The child has a 42-degree fever. If you don't take him to the hospital now, it'll be too late."

An incomparably anxious woman's crying came from the other end of the phone, her voice filled with deep pleading.

"Got it. I'll head back after this round." The man replied and hung up. "Brothers, keep going, keep going. I still need to win back what I just lost."

"You're not taking care of your kid at home?"

"It's fine. That woman is a grown adult too. She can't expect me for everything. She'll take the kid to the hospital in a while."

"Exactly. You can't spoil the woman at home like that. Fengzi, you did nothing wrong."

The four grown men were not affected by the call at all. Instead, they played mahjong with even greater enthusiasm, round after round, gradually forgetting the time. Several more calls came in during that time, but Luo Feng hung them all up without paying them any further attention.

Luo Feng discovered that he had soon lost all his money.

"Big Brother, lend me some more. I'll bring the money to repay you tomorrow," Luo Feng pleaded.

"Fengzi, it's not that I won't lend it to you. Pay back what you owe me first, then I'll lend you more. Let's call it a night," said the stubble-faced Hong, patting Luo Feng on the shoulder.

"Big Brother." Luo Feng grew anxious. "Big Brother, just... Hm?"

Whoosh!

The scene shattered, and Luo Feng sank once more.

Reincarnation after reincarnation, seemingly an endless cycle.

"Break open for me, break open!"

"Break open!"

"Wake up."

At first, whenever Luo Feng entered a reincarnation, he needed to struggle for a while before waking up. But after experiencing more reincarnations, he woke faster each time he entered one, until he could even regain consciousness the instant he entered.

Yet this reincarnation seemed endless.

Luo Feng shattered one lifetime and entered another, from a hundred reincarnations to ten thousand reincarnations...

Slowly, Luo Feng could no longer remember how many reincarnations he had experienced.

A million times?

Ten million times?

A hundred million times?

Or a hundred billion, a trillion times?

Luo Feng no longer had any impression. He only knew that every lifetime of reincarnation was fake, that everything was fake. He had only one belief: break through, shatter every falsehood...

Within the battle platform space, as that white eyeball appeared, Galaxy of humanity seemed to sink into agonizing ruin.

Both sides' Miniature Universes vanished in that instant.

In the void, that white eyeball slowly closed again as soon as it opened, as though overcome by drowsiness. Then, the white membrane surrounding the eyeball transformed into countless white starlight specks that flew toward the falling Luo Feng and merged into him.

Evil Eye's figure appeared where the pure white eyeball had been. The black, evil streams of air on his body and head had completely dissipated. Beneath his golden-blood-colored armor was wrinkled black skin. His head was now clearly visible: a hideous gaping mouth, three eyes, the one on his forehead completely shut, while the pair below were merely black hollow sockets, seemingly unfocused.

"In the end, Galaxy still lost. Evil Eye's final move was terrifying." In the viewing area, everyone who had witnessed this gained an entirely new understanding of Evil Eye Domain Lord's strength.

"Hm? No, something's wrong. Evil Eye's aura is so weak. He's only a Void True God?" City Lord Jing and the others all looked toward Evil Eye. Though formations isolated the battle zone, they could still sense auras. Evil Eye's aura was clearly absurdly weak at this moment.

Many thoughts flashed through City Lord Jing and the others' eyes.

Inside the battle platform, Evil Eye's entire body trembled.

"It's gone, it's all gone." Evil Eye sensed that much of his memory had been erased, especially the insights he had gained through the Replication Secret Art, all of which had vanished from his memories. His realm and will had actually fallen to the initial stage of Void True God because most of his soul insights had disappeared. Any Eternal True God could now crush him to death.

His aura was so weak that he had merely just entered the Void True God level.

"Hm? Galaxy?" Evil Eye suddenly looked at Luo Feng. "Having fallen into my Infernal Reincarnation, even with the will of a peak Saint Realm expert, he'll likely sink into endless reincarnation. I'll enslave him first, then find a way to wake him. With such a thug, I won't need to fear those old fellows outside after getting out of here."

Evil Eye instantly arrived before Luo Feng.

At once, he condensed his soul power into a soul imprint and drove it into Luo Feng's body.

"Galaxy has the will of a peak Saint-level expert, but his soul is still that of an Eternal True God. I should succeed," Evil Eye anticipated.

The next instant, his expression changed.

"What? I can't enslave him?" Evil Eye felt his soul imprint encounter some force of resistance and directly annihilate.

"Again." Evil Eye condensed another soul power imprint and sent it into Luo Feng's body.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The imprint was obstructed by some force, then completely annihilated.

"I can't enslave him?" Evil Eye panicked.

Naturally, he did not know that when Luo Feng had recognized the Star Tower as his master, his soul had completely fused with the tower pearl. As the core component of the God King-level supreme treasure Star Tower, the tower pearl's soul defense was so powerful that even while Luo Feng was in a fallen state, it was utterly beyond the ability of a mere Void True God to shake.

One had to know that when Luo Feng had merely been a Universe Master, even the combined soul attack of over a thousand Universe Masters had been unable to affect him in the slightest.

Moreover, due to certain characteristics of the Star Tower, the extent of its defenses had, in some respects, surpassed even Mountain Guest's understanding.

"If I can't enslave him, then I'll kill him and shatter his True God Heart." Although Evil Eye was despairing, he remained decisive and immediately made his choice.

"Teacher, I was forced to use a forbidden move, and my realm has now fallen to Void True God. The next Canglan Domain Lord deserves to die!" Evil Eye understood that even if he killed Luo Feng and left the battle zone alive, those old fellows outside would still be eyeing him covetously. He was doomed to die, but he would not allow the next Domain Lord to live either.

After sending the message into his communication token, he immediately looked at Luo Feng, who was still sinking painfully, with venom in his eyes. "Galaxy, all this is thanks to you. I cannot enslave you, but I can still kill you. Die within endless reincarnation!!"

Evil Eye's divine power burned again. Even as a mere Void True God, he was fully capable of killing an unconscious Eternal True God.

An Eternal True God still possessed a True God Heart. Once the True God Heart shattered, death naturally followed.

Boom!

The scepter in Evil Eye's hand transformed into a streak of light. Nearly exhausting all his strength, he unleashed his strongest current staff strike directly at the location of Luo Feng's True God Heart.

"Die!" Evil Eye roared madly.

Boom!

"Break open for me!" Luo Feng's will seemed to howl. The endless reincarnations, all of them illusory, finally shattered layer by layer at this moment, and Luo Feng's consciousness instantly woke.

Within those endless reincarnations, merely breaking through those layers of illusion felt as though countless Primal Universe cycles had passed, an unknowable number of times longer than the sum of his lifespan.

Yet Luo Feng's heart was exceptionally steadfast. He understood his own nature and pointed directly to his true heart.

He was unlike the heart that embraced all things, capable of accepting all beings and all matters. Luo Feng's heart was like a blade: what he acknowledged, he acknowledged; what he did not acknowledge, he did not acknowledge. He walked an extreme path. Since his heart did not accept it, everything was false. With his heart as a blade, he would break through it all.

Understand one's own nature and point directly to one's true heart!

Since he knew that the endless reincarnations were all false, then he would break through those false reincarnations. No matter how many cycles there were, they were all false. However many there were, he would break them all. Luo Feng's heart had never wavered because of them. Falsehood remained falsehood; no matter how much time passed, it could not shake him in the slightest.

"Evil Eye." Luo Feng's expression was indifferent. Evil Eye now possessed only Void True God cultivation, and under Luo Feng's pressure, he trembled continuously yet could not move at all.

The gap was too great.

There was an entire major realm between an Eternal True God and someone who had just entered the Void True God level.

"Galaxy." Evil Eye looked at Luo Feng and laughed maniacally. "I, Evil Eye, have lived through endless ages. It has been enough. If I die, you must die too. My teacher will certainly avenge me, hahaha..."

"The one who killed me was Galaxy of humanity." Evil Eye sent another message, then...

Boom!

Evil Eye directly chose to self-destruct. Amid his mad laughter, endless divine power shattered in an instant, transforming into a blazing sun as a powerful shockwave swept outward.

However, the self-destruction of a Void True God was not even as powerful as a single strike from an Eternal True God. Luo Feng could easily withstand it.

"Evil Eye's teacher?" Luo Feng could not help frowning. Since Evil Eye had possessed such strength, his teacher might be a Saint-level existence or even higher. Yet Luo Feng had never heard that Evil Eye had a teacher before. Why had one suddenly appeared? Was he Saint-level, or a God King?
