Luo Feng looked at the walls on his sides, yet there were no specimens or life diagrams.

“Blank? What does this mean? The life diagrams here are not in the form of specimens?”

Luo Feng walked forward, perplexed. He carefully observed everything on the portal, trying to find something. He couldn’t find anything.

Luo Feng found nothing special. Suddenly, ethereal voices reached ears. The voices were thin and weak, yet Luo Feng felt that they were everywhere around him. Gradually, the volume increased, and there were spots of black light merging in the space around him. Countless spots started to gather in front of Luo Feng to form a blurry figure. It was a blurry figure giving out black light. It looked ordinary, but Luo Feng couldn’t but feel the desire to worship it.

The blurry figure’s back was to Luo Feng.

“You’re only one step away from becoming an ultimate true god,” said the blurry figure slowly. “Remember, if you want to reach the ultimate level of a true god, you’re on your own. I hope that you can reach the top of Wu Qi Tower.”

The blurry figure turned to face Luo Feng, glanced at him, and vanished.

Luo Feng stood there, dazed. He hadn’t been able to even see the figure clearly and hadn’t been able to tell what it looked like. However, he had a strong desire to worship when facing that blurry figure, and he wanted to fight and even die for him.

“It might only be a virtual consciousness,” Luo Feng said, thrilled. “It’s much more powerful than the last generation of Duan Dong River.”

The last generation of Duan Dong River had died long ago. However, it had left behind a virtual consciousness in the form of an energy body to select inheritors. Only after that had it dissipated.

The virtual consciousness wasn’t a life form, but it still carried all the memories of the original being. Memories were themselves a form of strength as well. They knew all the chaos laws and they carried all the memories, so they were indeed extraordinary. Luo Feng speculated that it was a virtual consciousness left by His Majesty the Godly King.

The blurry figure of the virtual consciousness alone had made him want to risk his life. If the real Majesty of Godly King were here, Luo Feng might have been willing to kill himself for the Godly King.

“It… It must be His Majesty the Godly King. Wu Qi Tower was built by His Majesty the Godly King! And the life diagrams contained in this true god path are all invaluable… I don’t even have that in the Duan Dong River inheritance. Even those great beings working directly for His Majesty the Godly King aren’t qualified to read them. It’s highly likely that only His Majesty the Godly King can leave a virtual consciousness here.”

Luo Feng immediately felt that this goal of being sealed was tremendous! When he had accepted the sealing task, the only thing he had wanted was that powerful machine-type valuable, “Wu Qi God,” as well as the opportunity to train himself. However, the life diagrams on the true god path thrilled Luo Feng so much that he hadn’t even considered the implications.

Even the ancestral teachers couldn’t get precious life diagrams like those. His Majesty the Godly King from the World of Jin wouldn’t just give them away. Besides, the virtual consciousness that had appeared made Luo Feng realize that things were more complicated than he had anticipated.

I bet that giant object in Universe Ocean was the dead Godly King, thought Luo Feng. His Majesty the Godly King died? He built Wu Qi Tower before he died, made Wu Qi God, and set all those tasks.

Thoughts flooded Luo Feng’s mind. Suddenly…

Hong! action

A light pillar arrived and covered Luo Feng.

Sou!

Luo Feng disappeared through the portal.

******

On the fifth floor of Wu Qi Tower was a snowy world.

Shua!

Luo Feng appeared.

“Huh?” Luo Feng looked around at the endless, snowy world. “This must be the fifth level of Wu Qi Tower.”

He couldn’t help but smile. He’d gained a lot on the fourth floor. He’d already expected what he was going to attain before entering World of Jin, but he hadn’t expected to acquire so much. In the past 4,000 years, his godly body had reached 60,000 times life gene level! And he was only one step away from 90,000.

“That virtual consciousness that seemed to have been left by His Majesty the Godly King said that I’m on my own if I want to reach the limit of true gods.”

Luo Feng remembered. Aside from the evolution of his godly body, he realized that the sealing task had a huge secret behind it. He had many questions in his heart.

How did that giant object, which might be His Majesty the Godly King, die? And why is he floating in Universe Ocean? Why did the original mind guide us to the giant object? Great Thunder Star Master used a completely different force before he died. Where did that come from?

******

In the silver palace outside Wu Qi Tower, all four leaders guarding Godly King Valley were waiting on the thrones. They couldn’t see Luo Feng, as he was in the deeper area of true god path.

Hua!

Scenes appeared on the screen.

“The fifth floor of Wu Qi Tower!” exclaimed the black mist on the throne on the left. “He’s entered the fifth level.”

“It’s only been less than half an era, and he’s already entered the fifth level?”

“No matter what, he’s on the fifth floor now.”

The silver-armored female leader, the towering male leader, the strange beast leader, and the black mist leader were all gazing at the screen, excited.

“Can that soldier Milky Way enter the eighth floor?”

“The fifth to the seventh floor can be of great help to those great beings, but they’re also very challenging. Many soldiers in the World of Jin have gotten to the fifth floor, but most of them were eliminated on the fifth, sixth, or even seventh floor. Only one could get to the eighth floor.”

“These three floors are indeed challenging.”

“Milky Way is incredible. He might actually get through the next three floors.”

There was a huge secret hidden in Wu Qi Tower. The four leaders couldn’t see the eighth floor or the ninth floor. Only one from the past generations of elite soldiers had successfully ventured to the eighth floor, but he had eventually failed. The eighth floor was the final hazard, and if someone could succeed there, he would reach the ninth floor!

Once he reached the top, he succeeded and would be sealed.

******

On the fifth floor of Wu Qi Tower, in the vast snowy world, Luo Feng looked around.

Only me? Luo Feng thought. What about the others?

15 soldiers had been on the fourth floor.

Hong!

The wind and snow started to tumble, and they enveloped Luo Feng. He heard an old voice saying, “Soldier Milky Way, all the other soldiers were eliminated. From now on, you’ll be the only one continuing the journey. There will be a powerful creature on the fifth floor, and if you can defeat him, you’ll enter the sixth floor! If you fail, you’ll leave Wu Qi Tower.”

Luo Feng considered. Only the first three levels were deadly. He was safe now.

“Huh?” Luo Feng looked into the distant, noticing a being walking toward him.

He wore a white cape and appeared to be moving slowly, but he continually approaching Luo Feng. He had a handsome face, and there was a red mole between his eyebrows. He had pointy ears, and he smiled at Luo Feng as he said, “Soldier Milky Way, my energies will be on your level. You’re proficient in blade techniques, so I’ll fight you with blades.”

The white-caped man reached out his hands. The snow around him gathered, forming an ice blade. At the same time, he became aggressive. It was as if his entire body had become a blade. That hostility weighed heavily on Luo Feng.

“Blade?” Luo Feng reached out his hands, and Blood Shadow Blade appeared. He stared at his competitor just as aggressively.

“Great.” The white-caped man smirked. “First attack.”

Hua!

The white-caped man moved like a phantom. The shadow of his blade flashed. Blade shadows kept appearing, and instantly, billions of them were flashing in front of Luo Feng as if he was trapped in an entire world of blade shadows.

Illusion is nothing to me! Luo Feng’s mind yelled, and everything disappeared. But a blade had already reached Luo Feng.

“Dang!”

The ice blade struck against Blood Shadow Blade. The white-caped man was blasted back.

The white-caped man flew at Luo Feng more quickly, as if he was already furious. “Second strike!”

He was like a ball of burning fire. He slashed low, wielding incomparable force. The world was divided into two.

“Seal!”

Luo Feng’s Blood Shadow Blade shook, and a thin trace of blade light raced toward it. Then it became thicker. When the two touched, the blade light became a miniature world, enveloping its competitor.

The miniature world cracked as the two beams of light collided!

“Strike three!” the white-caped man yelled, and his godly body spun, turning into a blowing wind.

******

“Strike nine!”

“Strike 36!”

“Strike 99!”

“Strike 163!”

*****

The white-caped man was like a madman. He immediately performed another type of blade technique after each previous strike was resisted. None of the blade techniques were the same, however.

Luo Feng, who was putting forth the utmost effort, went from excited to mesmerized as he fought the white-caped man like crazy.

“I understand now. So, this is why he is trying to do…”

Luo Feng understood now that the fifth level wasn’t a challenge, but a prize. No wonder the ancient voice said that there would only be prizes from the four level.

The blade techniques performed by the white-caped man were guiding Luo Feng. Through these different ways of fighting, Luo Feng was being indoctrinated. The blade techniques of the white-caped man all belonged to the basic laws: gold, wood, water, fire, mud, wind, thunder, light, time, and space.

Although chaos laws were mysterious, and those superior to true gods pursued the ultimate chaos laws, the foundation of the ten basic laws remained integral. When it came to “merge laws” and the morphing of the universe, the ten basic laws were the building blocks.

Luo Feng, however, only had a brief understanding of this foundation. However, the white-caped man had already demonstrated 16 different blade techniques based only on gold law, and each technique had a different conception. Besides, every one of the techniques the white-caped man performed had reached top-tier level six.

How incredible the white-caped man was! How was he able to create so many extraordinary blade techniques based only on the basic laws?

Luo Feng’s understanding of the ten basic laws was skyrocketing, and each strike was more efficient than comprehending for more than 10,000 eras. How could Luo Feng not be exhilarated?
