“He’s here.”
Standing outside the Purple Firmament Palace, Luo Feng’s heart stirred as he saw the palace gates open, and he immediately became alert. The clan had provided detailed information about the internal conditions of the Purple Firmament Palace, including each stage.
Knowing what he was about to face, Luo Feng was prepared. Feeling a powerful pull, his body uncontrollably entered the Purple Firmament Palace.
“Huh? Not a maze. Where is this?”
Instead of the expected maze, it was a vast space with nothing around but floating cosmic energy and a rich aura of laws.
The unknown situation made Luo Feng feel a bit serious. He had only intended to investigate, but something unexpected had occurred.
Stepping forward, Luo Feng continuously observed his surroundings. There was no danger, and he could even comprehend laws much faster. He could even clearly sense the trajectory of the Gold-Space Fusion Law, as if in this space, the Gold-Space Laws were inherently a single law.
Besides the Gold-Space Laws, he could also sense the presence of various other strange laws within this space.
As Luo Feng advanced, a small path paved with pebbles began to appear beneath his feet, extending forward. However, the path ahead was enveloped by a dense mist of energy, severely limiting visibility.
Following the path, the surroundings began to change again. A bamboo forest appeared, then a small stream, and further ahead, a courtyard materialized before Luo Feng.
The courtyard was very simple: a crude house in the center, a flat area outside, a simple fence, and some strange plants growing by the wall.
Seeing the state of the courtyard, Luo Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes. The style and arrangement of the small courtyard clearly had a China-like feel.
“Putting on this act, he really thinks he’s a hermit,” Luo Feng couldn’t help but grumble, while opening the courtyard gate and stepping directly inside.
“Qin Hao!” Upon entering the small courtyard, Luo Feng called out towards the house.
“Creak.”
The door opened, and Qin Hao emerged from the house. Looking at Luo Feng, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He knew of Luo Feng’s arrival, which was why he set up this scene, wanting to see Luo Feng’s reaction.
He had received news of Luo Feng’s arrival from Guiyi Venerable. He also knew that Primordial Chaos City Lord had taken Luo Feng as his disciple, and he was aware of the spectacle he had created on the Outside Territory Battlefield.
“Hmm.” After stepping out of the room, Qin Hao’s tone changed, and a powerful aura pressed directly towards Luo Feng. Although both were World Lord Peak, and both possessed King-Level strength, there was still a significant gap.
Qin Hao currently had no opponents among Champions, and could even directly contend with Venerables, whereas Luo Feng was only considered decent among Champions.
“Senior Brother!” Feeling the pressure on him, Qin Hao at this moment was like a towering mountain.
Luo Feng also knew that Qin Hao wasn’t preparing to fight him, but merely testing his strength. As the pressure gradually increased, Luo Feng couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Your strength is good; you’ve already reached Champion. Why are you joining in on the fun here this time?”
Qin Hao’s imposing aura quickly receded, and he once again became as gentle as a spring breeze. Others might not know what Purple Firmament Palace was, but Luo Feng and others from Earth were very clear.
He should also be aware of the dangers around, yet he still came.
“I came to the Outside Territory Battlefield for experience. I heard that a Purple Firmament Palace appeared, and I knew it was you, so I came to check it out. I didn’t expect this area to be so chaotic now, with full-scale battles possibly breaking out at any moment. Is it really okay?”
Luo Feng’s first half explained his reason for coming, while the second half asked if Qin Hao would face any trouble. After all, tens of thousands of King-Level powerhouses, even if a Venerable came, they wouldn’t fare well, and might even perish here.
“Don’t worry, there’s no problem. I already have a complete plan. Since there’s a Purple Firmament Palace, there are naturally other things, such as: the bestowal of gods.”
As Qin Hao spoke, he waved his hand towards the sky, and the surrounding mist quickly dispersed, revealing a huge list in the sky. On the list, names were inscribed.
Each name glowed, and their sheer number astonished him.
“These are the gods of the bestowal of gods I’ve collected during this period. They will be the fuse for the entire battle. After you leave the Purple Firmament Palace this time, you should directly leave this area. Your opportunity lies at the Star Tower. There, you will undergo a true trial and achieve a true transformation.”
After showing the bestowal of gods, Qin Hao immediately concealed it again and said to Luo Feng. In this area, conflicts were constantly erupting. The competition for treasures hadn’t fully begun yet, but once it did, battles would become even more frequent.
Qin Hao was also ready to wrap things up at any time. In the final battle, Qin Hao’s plan anticipated at least tens of thousands of Champions perishing. Although they might eventually be resurrected by various clans, the resources and cost required to resurrect such a massive number of Champions would be enough to make the clans feel the pinch for a while.
“Since you’ve come, this treasure will be a gift from your Senior Brother, celebrating your successful apprenticeship. Soon, I will directly teleport you to the Gold-Space Law cultivation room. After you finish comprehending, I will send you directly out of the Purple Firmament Palace. You can then go straight to the Star Tower.”
As Qin Hao spoke, he took out a golden long staff. The staff was entirely golden, and its body seemed to be covered with layers of scales. This long staff was also recently refined by Qin Hao, designed to be used with the Gold-Space Laws. It could serve as a standalone weapon, or its scales could be controlled to form armor covering the entire body, or the scales could be used as individual weapons.
It could even fully disperse the scales, transforming the long staff into a miniature Myriad treasure River, achieving the effect of a domain treasure. Although it was only a treasure, its versatile functions and considerable power made it an excellent existence among all the treasures Qin Hao had refined.
“Thank you.” Knowing the treasure was valuable, Luo Feng didn’t refuse since Qin Hao offered it. Moreover, he was aware that Qin Hao could refine treasures, and that the treasures currently flowing out of the Purple Firmament Palace were all refined by Qin Hao.
Holding the long staff, Luo Feng’s heart was filled with joy. Within the obscure patterns on the staff, he sensed the aura of the Gold Law and the Space Law. Furthermore, the staff’s appearance was very similar to the Yan God Weapon he had always used, giving him a familiar and handy feeling.
After Luo Feng put away the treasure, Qin Hao waved his hand, and Luo Feng’s figure disappeared. He reappeared in a cultivation room in a side hall of the Purple Firmament Palace.
