Devouring Star Overlord

The top of Qi Mountain.

A huge palace complex stands on it, majestic and magnificent, with undulating attics and surrounded by colorful clouds, like a heavenly palace in mythology.

Luo Feng's willpower had broken through, and the stone steps on the Qi Mountain that tested his will could no longer stop him. Soon, he walked out of the stone steps and reached the top of the mountain, gazing at the huge palace complex in front of him.

suddenly.

Buzz~ Many points of light appeared not far in front of Luo Feng, and then condensed. A silver-haired old man in a black robe appeared in front of Luo Feng, looking at him with a smile.

"Luo Feng, I am the spirit of this Qishan Mountain." The old man in black robe and silver hair smiled and said, "You have completed the Qishan Will Test. Next, I will take you to obtain a specific secret treasure. Follow me."

"Thank you." Luo Feng nodded slightly.

"Okay, please come this way." The old man in black robe and silver hair stepped sideways and led the way.

The two of them flew directly into the huge palace complex in front of them. There was no obstruction along the way. Luo Feng followed the black-robed, silver-haired old man and finally walked into a luxurious hexagonal attic in the core.

This attic has nine floors in total. Luo Feng followed the other party as they walked up. The first to seventh floors were extremely empty. Except for a stone platform in the center of each floor, there was nothing else.

Looking at those empty stone platforms, Luo Feng showed a hint of doubt on his face.

Seeing Luo Feng's puzzled expression, the old man in black robe and silver hair smiled and said, "The Qi Mountain in the Fantasy Sea has been formed for endless years and has also experienced several Lord Games. Originally, there were nine world-class Hunyuan secret treasures in the Qi Mountain, but now there are only two left on the eighth and ninth floors."

"The secret treasures on the first to seventh floors have all been taken away in the previous Lord Game."

Hearing this, Luo Feng nodded.

"In this eighth floor is one of the two special secret treasures in the weapon mountain this time." As he spoke, the black-robed, silver-haired old man had already brought Luo Feng into the eighth floor.

The eighth floor is not as empty as the previous seven floors. The moment you step into the eighth floor, an invisible and heavy breath hits you in the face.

A corridor about 100 meters high and 500 meters wide appeared in front of Luo Feng, with faint light emitted by inlaid crystals on both sides.

"This is."

Luo Feng was stunned. He saw many carved murals on both sides of the corridor. Some of them had a picture, some had just a few dots, and some had just a scratch. But there was no doubt that they all exuded an inexplicable Taoist fluctuation.

"The Dao of Time and Space, the Dao of Thick Earth!" Although he had never comprehended these Daos, Luo Feng was able to instantly identify many types of Dao rhyme fluctuations. Of course, there were many that he could not identify, and he could not help but frowned: "Aren't these Dao rhymes used to look for secret treasures?"

“It’s a secret treasure. These Dao rhymes were naturally formed when the Hunyuan secret treasure was first conceived. Now they appear here only because of the vibrations emitted by the secret treasure. When the secret treasure is taken away, it will naturally reveal its original appearance.” The black-robed, silver-haired old man nodded.

"Qishan, although I appear in the Lord's Game now, it is not the work of a certain Lord. My body was naturally nurtured in the infinite Chaotic Origin Space. It was only later that I fell into the Strange Sea for some reason and finally merged with the stone ladder of the will test you experienced before, and then became a part of the Lord's Game."

"The reason why Qishan is called Qishan is because my body can naturally breed some secret treasures. However, the breeding of secret treasures is ultimately formed by the fusion of some special materials and multiple Daos. Therefore, the secret treasures born in Qishan will naturally emit some Dao rhyme fluctuations." The black-robed silver-haired old man sighed, "You are seeing all this before your eyes."

"That's it." Luo Feng nodded.

“These Dao rhyme fluctuations are of many types, but they are scattered. If you want to use them to attain enlightenment and practice, I’m afraid you will be disappointed.” The black-robed, silver-haired old man said with a smile.

"I'm just curious, not trying to gain any insights from it." Luo Feng said casually.

"Come with me, I will take you to see the secret treasure on the eighth floor." The old man in black robe and silver hair said, and then led Luo Feng forward along the passage.

After walking through the corridor, they soon arrived at a hall.

This is a hall that is about a thousand meters long, wide and high, with six green walls. In the center of the hall, there is a stone platform that we saw on the first to seventh floors. On the stone platform, there is a huge khaki hammer, which exudes an extremely rich aura, as if it contains a huge world of origin.

"This secret treasure is called 'Heaven-Breaking Hammer', and it contains a complete small source world inside." The silver-haired old man in a black robe pointed at the giant yellow hammer-shaped secret treasure on the central stone platform and introduced it.

"Forehead"

Luo Feng only took a look at the 'Heaven-Breaking Hammer' and lost interest in it. This secret treasure was obviously suitable for those who pursued strength. Even if he obtained it, it would not be of much help in improving his strength.

"I don't know, can we go to the ninth floor to take a look?" Luo Feng asked directly.

As if he had already anticipated that Luo Feng would not be interested in the Sky-Breaking Hammer in front of him, the old man in black robe and silver hair nodded directly: "Follow me."

As he spoke, he led Luo Feng towards the stairs leading to the ninth floor in the hall.

"The secret treasure in the ninth floor should be very suitable for you, Luo Feng." The old man in black robe and silver hair said to Luo Feng as they walked.

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed across Luo Feng's face. He didn't expect that the other party, a spirit of an artifact, would actually say these to him.

"The secret treasure in the ninth floor is called 'Blade Core'. It is called a secret treasure, but it can actually be regarded as a semi-finished secret treasure. It can be combined with any sword-type secret treasure to become a new sword-type world-class Hunyuan secret treasure weapon." The black-robed silver-haired old man smiled and said, "I also watched the battle you fought before entering the Weapon Mountain. Although the Hunyuan secret treasure-level sword in your hand is not bad, it doesn't seem to suit you very well."

"Blade core? A new world-class Hunyuan secret weapon of the blade type?" Luo Feng's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, "There is actually such a thing?"

The Wumo sword he was using in battle now was a gift from the King of Qin. Before getting the Wumo sword, he used the Blood Shadow Sword which was transformed from the sword embryo he got from the Duan Donghe inheritance.

The specifications of the Blood Shadow Knife were similar to the one he had used when he was young, and it was extremely suitable for him.

However, because the Blood Shadow Sword that was transformed from the sword embryo has only barely reached the level of a God-Emperor-level treasure even now, it is of little help in his fights with other God-Emperors. That is why he has been using the Wumo Sword to fight other strong men. Although it does not have much impact on his strength, it is ultimately not as suitable as the Blood Shadow Sword.

If he can exert 100% of his strength when using the Wumo Knife, then if he uses the Blood Shadow Knife, which is at the supreme secret treasure level, his strength may be exerted to 110%, or even higher.

He had previously thought about upgrading the Blood Shadow Blade to the level of a supreme secret treasure, but because the materials used to refine the Blood Shadow Blade were ordinary and the foundation was insufficient, it was difficult to successfully transform it.

When the Spirit of Qishan mentioned the knife core, the first thing he thought of was the Blood Shadow Knife.

"Yes, not only that, if you have enough understanding, you may get a great opportunity!" said the old man in black robe and silver hair with a smile.

As he spoke, Luo Feng followed the black-robed, silver-haired old man up to the ninth floor.

The ninth floor does not have the corridor like the eighth floor. As soon as you enter, you will go directly into the hall.

In the center of the hall, there stood a knife-shaped boulder about 30 meters long and wide. The boulder was gray and had a sense of oppression. In the center of the boulder, facing the entrance, there was a shallow scratch about 10 meters long, which seemed to be a knife scratch. It was just a scratch, nothing else.

"Go ahead. As long as you can get the sword core, you can integrate it into any sword and transform it into the shape you want." The silver-haired old man in a black robe said to Luo Feng, standing in front of the door to the ninth floor, and did not enter the hall.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng walked directly into the hall.

"Boom!"

The moment he entered the hall, Luo Feng's vision began to change. The surroundings were no longer the hall, and the center was no longer a knife-shaped boulder. The surroundings instantly turned into a gray hazy chaos. All around was endless void, with only the chaos in the center.

The shadow of a sword appeared in the sky, emitting blood-red light.

The entire sword seemed to divide this hazy world into two sides.

One side for life!

One side is death!

Life and death are opposite to each other, with a sword between them, and they will never merge!
"Boom!"

Everything in front of him disappeared, and Luo Feng's eyes returned to their original state. There was only the lonely knife-shaped boulder and the scratch that exuded a hint of murderous aura, and nothing else.

"The scene just now..." Luo Feng was stunned.

His current attainments in the way of the sword are definitely at the top level among the God Emperors.

However, he had no idea what the sword intent in the scene just now contained. He didn't know. He could only feel that the sword intent contained endless killing and endless vitality. He could only see that one side represented life and the other side represented death.

But he couldn't understand what specific meaning it contained!
Sudden.

"Hmph?" Luo Feng groaned. He felt an invisible pressure sweeping over from the knife-shaped boulder, and even that invisible pressure directly pressed down on the soul in the universe within his body.

"What's going on!" Luo Feng gritted his teeth.

"puff!"

The skin on Luo Feng's arms, chest, and thighs were suddenly torn, and a large amount of blood oozed from his mouth, eyes, and nose. His whole body began to tremble violently.

In an instant, Luo Feng turned into a bloody man.

Boom! The surging divine power boiled up, quickly covering his entire body and began to repair his physical injuries.

Physical injuries are easy to repair, but Luo Feng's eyes were tightly closed, his fists were clenched tightly, and his whole body was shaking. It was obvious that he was in great pain.

Luo Feng stood at the entrance of the hall. It took him a long time to steady himself. He looked up at the huge knife-shaped boulder in the distance and the scratches on it.

He was shocked.

"I was in this hall. My body was not attacked from the outside. It was the pressure of the sword intent from the inside out, which directly shone into my soul. My soul was injured, and then it was reflected in my body. If it weren't for my previous breakthrough in will that led to the transformation of my soul, I'm afraid my soul would have been directly destroyed by the impact of the sword intent." Luo Feng recalled the feeling before, and his heart was still trembling, the feeling of being completely unable to resist.

No matter how terrifying a soul attack is, it must first penetrate the body before it can reach the soul. Moreover, the pressure from the sword ignored all his means of defense and was directly reflected in his soul.

This is the scariest thing.

"How could a secret treasure be able to reach this level?" Luo Feng thought quickly in his mind.

“There are only two possibilities”

"The first one is that the world-class Hunyuan secret treasure itself is powerful, and this is the sword intent that naturally emanates from the sword core."

"The second possibility is that the scratch on the knife-shaped boulder might be some kind of magical trick left by a certain lord when he created the Lord Game. It was automatically integrated when this secret treasure was conceived, and it can attack me."

Luo Feng thought secretly.

Normally, a Hunyuan secret treasure, suspended in the void, would release its instinctive pressure even without any powerful person activating it, making it impossible for ordinary God Emperors to get close.

The methods left by Lord Hunyuan are even more magical, so it is not surprising that he can achieve this.

“However, my physical body has reached the perfect level of the God Emperor, and my soul has even reached the Hunyuan level. Even if the pressure emitted by the world-class Hunyuan secret treasure may make me uncomfortable, it will never cause any real harm.” Luo Feng said secretly.

When a practitioner encounters some pressure that is far beyond his level, he will involuntarily feel palpitations in his heart. That is a trace of fear that is beyond his understanding. It is an instinct at the level of life, not the fear of the scene itself.

Just relying on the pressure emitted by the Hunyuan Secret Treasure itself, even if the sword-type Secret Treasure is highly offensive, it is impossible to achieve this level with the pressure of the sword intent alone. Otherwise, it would be difficult to even approach it, let alone control it.

"The biggest possibility is the scratch on the boulder, or the knife mark." Luo Feng made a judgment in his mind: "Everything before is related to it. This should be left by a certain lord. Only a being of that level can leave such a magical method."

The sudden pressure from the sword intent just now was too shocking, and it manifested directly in the soul. Luo Feng was hit without even realizing it.

“This scratch does not contain any energy. It is not difficult to make me hallucinate, but it can hurt my soul. Is this the method?” Luo Feng looked at the huge rock in the distance, and his heart moved.

Is it really just a random scratch? Even the supreme Hunyuan Lord can have such a method? Luo Feng felt that it was impossible. After all, he had close contact with the Hunyuan Lords such as Yuan and Wu, and even got some opportunities from them. Although their methods were extremely mysterious, they were not as powerful as this.

What does this mean?
The scratches on the knife-shaped boulder may contain some secrets left by a lord.

"Is it the inheritance of swordsmanship? Or something else?" Luo Feng guessed in his heart.

If this knife-shaped boulder is the knife core, then the knife marks carved on it may be a test for him to gain the recognition of the knife core, or it may contain some great secret. Either way, it is an opportunity for him.

"Huh~" Luo Feng let out a long breath: "This may be the great opportunity that the spirit of Qishan Mountain mentioned. No matter what, since I have encountered it, I will comprehend it carefully. Who knows, my swordsmanship may be further improved because of it!"

Luo Feng calmed himself down and took a deep breath: "Try your best to comprehend it and see if you can figure out the mystery."

Thinking about this, Luo Feng looked at the knife marks on the knife-shaped boulder again. (End of this chapter)
