Chapter 215: The Truth of the Star Tower

Luo Feng's spiritual will observed the blood-red scale, whose edges shimmered with a dry, colorful sheen. This blood-red scale exuded an extremely terrifying sense of oppression; even Luo Feng's spiritual will felt an immense burden.

"This blood-red scale is far more terrifying than the large eye from my dream memories. If a Divine King at the ultimate realm were to face it directly, they might go insane!" Luo Feng made this judgment after a mental comparison.

His previous inability to delve deeper into the Star Tower was, in fact, a form of protection. Now that his spiritual will was strong enough, he could naturally perceive it.

Of course, that giant eye was merely an image from his dream memories. If a real giant eye existed, it would be hard to say whether it or this blood-red scale would be more fearsome.

Was a will transcending the Divine King level merely the threshold to observe it? Luo Feng thought, "I haven't heard of any secret treasures on the Origin Continent that transcend the Divine King level being so terrifying." The Emperors and Monarchs of the two ancient kingdoms were equipped with such treasures. It was thanks to their ultimate realm life forms and powerful secret treasures that they could rival the Myriad Realms Master and World Beasts. Legend had it that the ancestors of both kingdoms could even refine secret treasures transcending the Divine Master level.

"Those Emperors and Monarchs, except for Emperor Qing and Emperor Luo, only possess Divine King ultimate realm wills. Many of them also have to divert their attention to suppress chaotic bloodline will. How could their spiritual wills, which can unleash the power of their secret treasures, compare to the Star Tower?" Luo Feng deduced this based on known intelligence, information collected from the Infinite Space Vault, and various other sources.

The Star Tower should far surpass the common Divine King-transcending secret treasures of the Origin Continent, which made Luo Feng even more vigilant.

"Let's first see how powerful the Star Tower is." Luo Feng's divine power attempted to permeate the vast and profound secret patterns deep within the Star Tower. He could only understand a small fraction of the shallowest patterns. As he delved slightly deeper, he understood nothing at all. It was like a kindergarten child on Earth facing a thick advanced mathematics textbook, unable to even recognize the symbols.

"I'll first thoroughly study the few I can understand." Luo Feng was quite excited by this; the more complex these secret patterns were, the higher the Star Tower's level.

"I can discern traces of the nine fundamental Great Daos from within: Life, Destruction, Karma, Time, Space, Matter, World, Immeasurable, and Pole, all under the supreme rules." Luo Feng, having once merged his mind with the supreme rules and observed the nine fundamental Great Daos, could barely categorize them despite not fully understanding the other paths. "These secret patterns should contain far more than just nine Great Daos." "The deeper they go, the more tightly they combine, until they ultimately form that single blood-red scale." "Based on the shallow-level secret patterns, I estimate that Life-type patterns account for 34.1%, Destruction-type patterns for 9.2%, and Matter-type patterns around 7%." Luo Feng could relatively accurately identify Life, Destruction, and Matter types. His judgment for others was too vague. "Life is the core. All other categories revolve around it."

After categorizing them, Luo Feng found things much clearer, and his divine power began to permeate. The prerequisite for activating secret patterns was to first comprehend a large portion of them. It was like facing a tangled mess: one first needed to understand how to untangle it, layer by layer, with no mistakes allowed at each step. The secret patterns deep within the Star Tower were precisely like this, only infinitely more profound: the sequence of activation, the sequence of combination, how they cooperate... Luo Feng had accumulated deep insights into Life and Destruction, even how they combine. Regarding the shallow-level secret patterns in these areas, Luo Feng continuously studied and activated more and more of them.

"Cultivators usually focus on one Great Dao. It's rare to cultivate two or three simultaneously." "Yet this scale contains at least a dozen Great Daos, and they combine perfectly." Luo Feng was quite shocked. His study of activating the Life and Destruction secret patterns greatly broadened his horizons. "There are so many ways to combine Life and Destruction! The methods I've tried seem far too rudimentary in comparison." Luo Feng felt like a parched desert, frantically absorbing water. The Star Tower's secret patterns, particularly their methods of combining Life and Destruction, greatly expanded Luo Feng's perspective, giving him more insights. "Boom!"

A profound mystery of Dao fusion emerged in Luo Feng's mind. It was the complete integration of the "Cleaving Heavens" and "Dark Heavens" branches of the Destruction fundamental Great Dao, an insight that fully elucidated all possibilities of combining these two branches. "Divine King Second Realm," Luo Feng understood. When he first began comprehending the deep-level secret patterns of the Star Tower, his Destruction fundamental Great Dao had naturally reached the Divine King First Realm. This was due to his already deep accumulation, further enhanced by his Destruction Demonic race clone formed from the Scales of Destruction. His accumulation in the Destruction fundamental Great Dao had already unconsciously surpassed his Life path. After these two major branches completely merged, Luo Feng could, based on this fusion mystery, effortlessly create numerous techniques rooted in the "Cleaving Heavens" and "Dark Heavens" fusion mystery. However, these types of techniques offered too little assistance to Luo Feng's overall strength. "I could, however, create a secret escape art," Luo Feng thought, and a rudimentary direction for such an art already formed in his mind. He estimated it would only take a few hundred days of study to fully perfect it. But Luo Feng didn't get sidetracked and continued to study the deep-level secret patterns of the Star Tower.

This research continued for nearly half a cycle, before Luo Feng felt it difficult to make further progress. "The secret patterns I can now activate are quite good. Let's see how powerful they are," Luo Feng thought, very curious. At this moment, his World Force, burning with even greater power, began to activate the Star Tower's deep-level secret patterns. "Whirr, whirr~" The Star Tower was located in a quiet room within the Yang City Lord's mansion. Luo Feng also released his World Domain to cover the surroundings, isolating it from external prying eyes. At this moment, the Star Tower vibrated slightly, and its might caused Luo Feng's World Domain to tremble. Luo Feng felt as if he was controlling a behemoth, a behemoth whose sheer momentum, if it charged forward, would surpass even the Great Annihilation style. "What terrifying might," Luo Feng murmured after a brief sensation, not daring to unleash its full power. Once unleashed, Luo Feng wasn't sure he could fully control its might. "This power is truly terrifying," Luo Feng gasped. The secret treasures available for exchange in the Infinite Space Vault, or those legendary ones on the Origin Continent, likely couldn't unleash such might, even with his Divine Master First Realm cultivation.

"After my spiritual will transformed, I can sweep through most Divine Kings on the Origin Continent. But against those Emperors and Monarchs... I'm not confident." Emperors and Monarchs all possess ultimate realm life forms; these life forms are perfectly complete and inherently offer some resistance to spiritual will. Furthermore, the Emperors and Monarchs of the two ancient kingdoms possess secret treasures transcending the Divine Master level, and these treasures, too, offer more or less resistance to spiritual will. With these two factors combined, Luo Feng estimated that relying solely on his spiritual will, he could only affect their strength to a certain extent, and the possibility of killing them was low. "Besides my spiritual will, my direct combat strength is still weaker compared to Emperors." "Once the Star Tower is exposed..." "If Emperor Qing, the Ancestor of East Polar Domain, and the ancestors of the two kingdoms were to contend for the Star Tower, could I survive?" Before those individuals, his spiritual will would be useless; in fact, their spiritual wills might even be stronger than his! His physical body? His techniques? The gap would be even greater! "It's not yet time to necessarily use the Star Tower," Luo Feng thought. "And in a while, without relying on external objects, my strength will reach a new level. It shouldn't take too long to comprehend the 'Twenty-Four Manifestations' form." At that time, with the help of Chaos Bloodline biological materials, he could refine a higher-level World Life Form. "The 'Ten Directions World' form is merely an introduction to World Life Forms." "It's the 'Twenty-Four Manifestations' form that truly demonstrates the might of a World Life Form." Luo Feng was greatly anticipating this. "Perhaps even without the Star Tower, I could contend with Emperors and Monarchs." Among Chaos Bloodline creatures at the Divine King Second Realm strength, those with the "Twenty-Four Manifestations" form were considered top-tier. This was despite these Chaos Bloodline creatures having lower intelligence. In Luo Feng's hands, a World Life Form with the "Twenty-Four Manifestations" form would naturally be even more powerful! Luo Feng's spiritual will could also make his World Life Form even more colossal!

"The power of techniques on the Origin Continent has an upper limit, which is the Divine King ultimate realm limit. This is also why Ancestor Yan Feng found it difficult to kill the Mother River Master." "The stronger I become, the more power the Star Tower can unleash." "Oh, and there's this." Luo Feng looked at the colorful lotus heart seed in his hand. The lotus heart seed, once rooted in his inner world, could grow into a Lotus of Life! Besides increasing his compatibility with the Life fundamental Great Dao, it would also make his inner world more stable and imbue his physical body with endless vitality, significantly enhancing his physical strength. "Lotus of Life." After Luo Feng exchanged for it, he received more detailed information: The larger his inner world, the better the Lotus of Life could grow! The Lotus of Life could also be moved outside, even used in combat against enemies. Within his body, it could also strengthen his physical form. "Plant it." Luo Feng naturally planted this lotus heart seed within the inner world of his World Life Form's true body. Because his spiritual will had transformed, the World Life Form he could control could also be more colossal. Currently, Luo Feng's miniature universe had been absorbing energy to its maximum extent, continuously transmitting perfect divine power to support the growth of the World Life Form. "Whoosh." Within the World Life Form's inner world, as a single seed fell deep into the earth, a sprout of green immediately broke through the ground and rapidly grew. The Lotus of Life grew at an astonishing speed. It used his entire inner world as its foundation, growing taller and taller, with its lotus leaves gradually unfolding. Finally, after 109 days, the Lotus of Life grew to the limit that his inner world could support. It was entirely green, with massive lotus leaves resembling miniature worlds. There were precisely 3,600 green lotus leaves, and only the central stamen shimmered with color. This colossal Lotus of Life, with its thirty-six leaves, occupied one-tenth of his entire inner world, while its roots permeated every part of the inner world's earth, making the inner world even more stable. If Luo Feng were to unleash his World Domain, its might would significantly increase. This Lotus of Life seemed to be connected to the Life fundamental Great Dao itself, naturally possessing endless vitality.
