Swallowed Star

Many characters started to emerge from the transparent, icy mountainside, and with a single glance, Luo Feng could read the new techniques instantly. It was the whole chapter of the second volume. He had already completed reading the whole volume!

Luo Feng was relieved.

After only a while…

“Again!”

Luo Feng turned around and looked at another ice mountain in the distance. He could see characters appearing wildly on the transparent, icy mountainside. It was the third volume of Godly Eye Technique.

The characters kept emerging, seemingly without end.

******

The black mist Leader looked at the screen in the palace. “Is this already the third volume of Godly Eye Technique? So fast… Wow… The first three volumes are all there already. Milky Way has already learned the first three volumes, which means that compared to all the previous soldiers who attempted this task, he is the best candidate. There are nine volumes in total. Let’s see which volume he’ll end with.”

“Did His Majesty the Godly King put all the nine volumes there?” the towering leader asked, perplexed.

The other leaders shook their heads. “Who knows? The best soldier previously only finished the first three volumes. Who knows how many volumes His Majesty the Godly King put in there?”

Even though the four of them were leaders, and all four were sealed great beings, even they weren’t qualified to get all the nine volumes of Godly Eye Technique! After all, to a powerful group, the more advanced a technique was, the more important it was to the group. They were offered on a merit-based system, which meant that those who made more contributions would obtain more techniques.

“The fourth volume!”

“He’s started the fourth volume. The willpower shock is incredible right now, yet that soldier Milky Way doesn’t seem to be affected much.”

“Perhaps he can comprehend more.”

The four leaders were all curious about how much Milky Way could learn.

******

Luo Feng was relieved. Finally, he had finished the first four volumes. Each volume had lots of material, and it had taken a while for it to be completely revealed on the ice mountain. He had been afraid that he might not be able to resist it.

“The fifth volume!”

Luo Feng looked toward another ice mountain, and many characters emerged on it. It was the fifth volume of Godly Eye Technique.

Luo Feng grew irritated after just one-third of the fifth volume had emerged.

“No.”

He took a look at the godly eye in the sky. The blurry, golden light was covering him, and the willpower shock was becoming stronger.

“Such a strong willpower shock!” Luo Feng said, feeling anxious. “I can already feel the great intense pressure. It must be at the level of a senior true god of void space now.”

Luo Feng kept staring at the icy mountain in the distance. The characters continued to arise. He was reluctant to have his willpower crumble before finishing that volume.

Pressure! Vigorous pressure weighed on his willpower! It felt like a mountain, and it was becoming heavier, slowing down Luo Feng’s thinking.

“The fifth volume! Quick! Quick!” Luo Feng was nervous.

Another 15 seconds passed. The contents of the fifth volume were shown in their entirety on the ice mountain, and a new volume started to emerge on yet another ice mountain.

“The sixth volume…” said Luo Feng.

He could sense that the technique was emerging faster and faster. In truth, the Godly Eye Technique was indeed emerging at a gradually faster pace with each volume.

“Ah!”

Luo Feng’s face went pale under that horrifying mental shock. His body trembled, yet he was still staring at the ice mountain in the distance. He continued memorizing the material of the sixth volume.

Hong!

Luo Feng couldn’t help falling to the ground.

“No! No!” said Luo Feng. He knew he had reached his limit. He was not in the space of inheritance to sharpen his willpower; if the willpower shock got stronger, he would pass out. “No!”

Luo Feng desperately desired to read more about the Godly Eye Technique.

“I can’t fall down! At least six volumes! I must finish six volumes!”

Luo Feng was roaring inside. Each second felt like an era, which made it feel as if the characters were emerging too slowly.

I must finish it. I must do it!

It was Luo Feng’s only thought: to finish the first six volumes. He had to finish them! He had to!

Luo Feng could sense that his willpower was crumbling, but he was still pulling through. He stared into the distance and wondered why the characters were emerging so slowly! Why didn’t they appear all at once?

Finally, all the characters of the sixth volume of the Godly Eye Technique appeared on the ice mountain. At the same time, the seventh volume started to emerge on the mountainside of another ice mountain. However, Luo Feng couldn’t hold on any longer after enduring the sixth volume. He blacked out without reading the seventh volume.

Hong!

A pillar of light appeared and covered Luo Feng, who was unconscious. Finally, he left the seventh floor.

******

All four leaders went quiet. They were staring at the screen, collectively holding their breath. At a crucial moment, the characters emerged faster and faster. There wasn’t any time gap between volumes, and the longer Luo Feng could persevere, the more material he could read! He could tell that it was difficult for law masters to improve when they reached the limit, which was why the Godly Eye Technique emerged faster and faster.

“The fifth volume is done.”

“The sixth volume was also finished. Soldier Milky Way fell.”

Luo Feng disappeared from the screen. The four leaders felt relieved.

“Sixth volume!”

“Unfortunately, he fell before the seventh volume was finished. However, it’s all blurred, so we can’t see anything.”

“It’s not surprising that he couldn’t finish the seventh volume. After all, His Majesty the Godly King only gave us the first six volumes. Milky Way is only a law master, yet he was able to complete the first six volumes. He’s more impressive than us.”

The four leaders were chatting with each other. There was nothing on the screen.

“Let’s take it back,” said the towering leader.

“Okay,” said the black mist leader. The screen disappeared from the palace.

After all, even the four leaders couldn’t see anything on the eighth and ninth floor, which was why they had no idea what hazards waited on the eighth floor or what kind of secret His Majesty the Godly King had left behind on the ninth floor.

“Wait.”

“Yes, we can only wait. If that soldier Milky Way can get the inheritance successfully, the sealing task will disappear automatically.”

There was only one task for law masters, and if someone succeeded, the task would disappear and wouldn’t show up again.

“Can this soldier succeed?” The black mist leader was worried. “One soldier made it to the eighth floor, but he failed in the end. We asked him about the eighth floor when he exited, but he couldn’t remember anything about it.”

“There’s got to be a huge secret on the eighth floor,” said the silver-armored female leader. “Otherwise, His Majesty the Godly King wouldn’t have erased his memories.”

“Just wait and see.”

The leaders were indeed curious. They had been born in the World of Jin, so they were absolutely loyal to His Majesty the Godly King. With one order, they would die for the Godly King without hesitation. However, they were also curious. They had been in Godly King Valley for a long time, and their job was to find the peerless talent sought by their Godly King.

His Majesty the Godly King eagerly sought this talented individual. What was there on the eighth and ninth floors of Wu Qi Tower?

******

Luo Feng saw that the time and space around him were twisted, and he was transported to the eighth floor.

Even after Luo Feng appeared on the eighth floor of Wu Qi Tower, he was still mesmerized by the scenes on the seventh floor. “It’s indeed difficult to make a breakthrough in willpower. On the seventh floor, my willpower is strengthened, and I should reach the level of a top-tier true god of void space. It’s close to the limit of true gods of void space.

“Six volumes. I got six volumes of the Godly Eye Technique. Only the first three volumes of Duan Mie are suitable for true gods to practice, and these six volumes of Godly Eye Technique will take me a long time to finish.”

Luo Feng was quite content. Even Duan Dong River didn’t have Godly Eye Technique, which meant it was a powerful technique owned exclusively by “Jin.”

“I’m on the eighth floor now, which is the last challenge on Wu Qi Tower—my last step to the top.” Luo Feng looked around.

There was a space around him, and there was a small landform floating in the vast space in the distance. It was so small that it might take Luo Feng 100 steps to finish walking from one end to the other. There was only one landform in the endless space.

Luo Feng flew toward it like a streak of light. It appeared to be close, but it took him a long time to reach it. Time and space seemed to be suppressed, so he couldn’t teleport.

“There’s a huge secret in hidden in Wu Qi Tower. That sealed being is extraordinary. Nobody has succeeded in the endless time… What will stand in my way to discovering the huge secret?”

Luo Feng was curious and worried at the same time. The final challenge was all that stood between him and the huge secret, so it surely wouldn’t be simple.

The eighth level… It would be the final task! And it awaited him on that small island.

Sou!

He flew for a long time before landing on the island. It looked arid and desolate. However, on the ground were many ancient characters.

“Huh?” Luo Feng took a look.

The characters were simple…

The eighth level is the final step to the top.

Observe the space around you and get one technique.

If you can succeed, you’ll reach the ninth level of Wu Qi Tower.

If you fail, your memories will be erased, and you’ll leave Wu Qi Tower.

After Luo Feng finished reading the instructions, the ancient characters disappeared. He raised up his head and looked around at the space. Huge characters showed up in the space around him. Each one looked like a star, connecting with each other to form a picture. There wasn’t a single comma between the characters. They were all connected; he couldn’t tell where the start was or where the end was.
