While his clone was refining medicinal concoctions, Luo Fan did not remain idle.
In fact, most of his focus was devoted to comprehending the Space Origin Law.
Just like that, dozens of years passed.
…
Outside the domain battlefield, Eleventh Battlefield, the Space-Locking Forbidden Zone.
A continent floated in the void.
Around the continent, and even within it, countless spatial rifts were scattered.
From time to time, spatial storms would erupt.
At this moment, in a certain corner of the continent.
The area was desolate, shrouded in darkness.
The vast land held nothing at all, only scattered stones.
Suddenly, the surrounding land and even space itself collapsed.
In the next instant, all matter was crushed.
A small portion of the continent was directly carved away.
The missing section was extremely neat, clearly forming a perfect sphere.
A figure suddenly appeared at the edge of the voided section.
It was Luo Fan.
At this moment, Luo Fan's face was filled with joy.
"Finally succeeded!"
The one who had just caused the missing portion of the continent was none other than him.
What he had just used was one of the three great profundities of the Space Origin Law: Spatial Annihilation!
Even without creating a secret technique around it, simply executing it directly already produced terrifying power.
Ordinary Marquis-level Immortals would find it extremely difficult to escape if they encountered it.
This was the terrifying aspect of Spatial Annihilation.
Among the three great profundities of the Space Origin Law, this was the one with the strongest offensive power.
The other two, Instant Teleportation and Spatial Lockdown, leaned more toward auxiliary effects.
"Next, it's time to continue refining my secret technique!"
Luo Fan had now defeated the 910th opponent arranged by the Lord of Ice Peak.
Although his law comprehension had not improved much earlier,
with enough time, he could still continue refining his secret technique.
However, the time required would be extremely long.
Rather than doing that, it was better to improve his law comprehension.
Now, Luo Fan was confident he could perfect his secret technique to the peak secret technique level in a short time!
[Mission: Perfect the self-created secret technique Whale Fin Slash to the peak Immortal-level secret technique. Reward: Ordinary Heavy Treasure Whale Fin Blade]
Looking at the mission reward, Luo Fan could not help but curl his lips.
If this were earlier, he would have been very happy.
After all, it meant upgrading his weapon.
But now, he already possessed the top-tier heavy treasure Azure Sky Blade. (TL/N: What happened to Azure Sea Blade tho...)
As for the heavy treasure Whale Fin Blade, it was more or less dispensable.
Still, having one more heavy treasure weapon was not bad. He could leave it for his descendants in the future.
After mastering Spatial Lockdown, his true body would return to the human race and enter the Cosmic Pole Tower to refine his secret technique.
As for the Space Worm clone, it would go out to seek prey.
Combat itself was also a way to refine secret techniques.
…
After leaving the continent where he had been in seclusion, Luo Fan directly used a wormhole to travel through the Space-Locking Forbidden Zone.
Although there were many King-level Immortals in the Space-Locking Forbidden Zone,
the area itself was enormous.
Moreover, divine kingdom teleportation and instant teleportation were impossible here.
Finding someone was still rather troublesome.
Fortunately, he had Thousand-Mile Eye, whose detection range was quite large.
Thousand-Mile Eye could detect everything within a radius of fifty billion kilometers.
That was an extremely vast range.
Some long-range detectors could only reach one billion kilometers.
Even the top-tier technology of the mechanical race might only reach several tens of billions of kilometers.
Luo Fan continuously used the wormhole secret technique, freely traversing the Space-Locking Forbidden Zone.
If he failed to detect any powerful beings, he would simply move to another location.
After using the wormhole more than ten times and arriving in a stretch of void, he suddenly sensed a powerful fluctuation.
This fluctuation was some distance away from him.
Even on his detector, nothing unusual appeared.
Although the detection range of Thousand-Mile Eye was slightly smaller compared to domain-type heavy treasures,
it had its own unique strengths.
Generally speaking, large-scale detectors were mainly used to discover powerful beings and life forms within their detection range.
Although their range was large, they were actually less effective at locating treasures.
Thus, small-range detectors existed.
Small-range detectors had a much shorter detection range,
but they could detect most treasures within that range.
As such, powerful beings usually carried two detectors.
One large-scale detector for detecting life forms, and one small-range detector for searching for treasures.
Thousand-Mile Eye, however, had an extremely large detection range,
yet its precision matched that of small-range detectors.
This meant that Thousand-Mile Eye could detect treasures within a radius of fifty billion kilometers!
Its only drawback was its relatively high energy consumption.
Yet Luo Fan could not see the object emitting this powerful fluctuation within Thousand-Mile Eye's detection.
If the object emitting this fluctuation, whether a person or an item, were within the detection range, it would have been detected.
Since it was not, this meant the fluctuation originated beyond fifty billion kilometers.
Generally speaking, very few King-level Immortals could emit such terrifying fluctuations.
This suggested that there was a high chance a treasure was about to emerge in the distance!
Without hesitation, Luo Fan began using wormholes in the direction the fluctuation had spread.
Each time, he only created a wormhole spanning fifty billion kilometers.
At this point, he had already advanced over several trillion kilometers from where he first sensed the fluctuation.
The fluctuation was becoming clearer and clearer.
Luo Fan could tell that this fluctuation definitely originated from a heavy treasure, or even a supreme treasure!
After all, he possessed several heavy treasures and supreme treasures himself.
He was very familiar with the fluctuations emitted by these two types of treasures.
Along the way, he had also detected other King-level Immortals.
However, he was not interested in those foreign races at the moment.
He only wanted to know what level of treasure could produce such an intense emergence fluctuation.
…
Finally, after advancing several light-years, Luo Fan detected the location of the treasure.
He discovered that the area was filled with spacetime storms.
Spacetime storms were even more terrifying than spatial storms.
The current Luo Fan had no fear of spatial storms at all.
But when it came to temporal storms, even he could potentially perish.
It was not that he feared death.
Rather, he feared accidentally losing the treasures carried by his clone.
And the Myriad Star Flower as well.
The Myriad Star Flower did not possess Luo Fan's abilities.
Sensing the intense law fluctuations and energy surges around him,
Luo Fan knew that the treasure emerging this time was at least a top-tier heavy treasure.
It was even very likely to be a supreme treasure!
When he had first come to the Space-Locking Forbidden Zone, he knew that heavy treasures and even supreme treasures had appeared here before.
However, he had not harbored much hope.
Over millions of eras, only a few had appeared.
He could not possibly remain in the Space-Locking Forbidden Zone indefinitely.
Thus, Luo Fan's primary purpose had been to seek out foreign King-level Immortals for battle.
Through his detector, Luo Fan discovered that within the terrifying spacetime storm was a deep abyss.
The place where this treasure was being nurtured lay within that abyss.
The diameter of this spacetime storm exceeded thirty billion kilometers.
Luo Fan was currently standing on a massive fragment of a continent.
All around him were spacetime storms.
Moreover, these spacetime storms seemed to be emanating from the abyss itself.
Approaching the abyss now would be extremely difficult.
Luo Fan silently retreated some distance.
From time to time, new spacetime storms erupted from the abyss.
If he stayed too close, he could easily be caught in them.
He guessed that these spacetime storms were caused by the emergence of the treasure.
The best way to obtain this treasure was to wait until it fully emerged.
Only then would these spacetime storms cease.
At the moment, Luo Fan had no other options.
Although he possessed the top-tier heavy treasure palace, the Cosmic Pole Tower,
spacetime storms did not merely shred living beings.
They could also transport people to other regions.
Moreover, the flow of time inside them was extremely unstable.
Unless Luo Fan relied on overwhelming strength to directly control the Cosmic Pole Tower and enter,
he would have to wait until he broke through to Immortality to possess such power.
After all, spacetime storms were universe-level disasters that even Venerables found troublesome.
As time passed, more and more spacetime storms appeared.
The law fluctuations and energy surges grew increasingly intense.
Now, even ten light-years away, one could sense the law fluctuations and energy waves here.
More and more King-level Immortals were rushing toward this location.
The commotion in the Space-Locking Forbidden Zone had already spread throughout the Eleventh Battlefield.
If not for the fact that instant teleportation and divine kingdom teleportation were impossible here,
King-level Immortals from other battlefields would have rushed over just to join the excitement.
Because the Space-Locking Forbidden Zone was formed from the shattered remains of a special secret realm, it was impossible to reach the core through the Dark Universe.
Although one could enter the Dark Universe,
doing so would effectively leave the core region of the Space-Locking Forbidden Zone.
To come here, one could only fly slowly.
Even at the speed of light, it would take ten years to arrive.
Even so, a small number of King-level Immortals from other regions were still heading this way.
They were gambling that the treasure would not emerge so quickly.
Among those rushing over, many were experts who had mastered time acceleration.
They could accelerate the flow of time around themselves, allowing their relative speed to exceed the speed of light.
This enabled them to arrive faster than others.
Luo Fan could also see through Thousand-Mile Eye that many King-level Immortals were already nearby.
As time passed, the number of these experts continued to increase.
After all, the commotion caused by this treasure's emergence was simply too great.
The treasure emerging this time was very likely a supreme treasure!
One had to know that even Venerables and even Universe Overlords were extremely covetous of supreme treasures.
If not for the rule that Venerables and above were forbidden from entering the outside-the-domain battlefield, many Venerables and even Universe Overlords would have come to seize a share.
These King-level Immortals could not enter the spacetime storm, but Universe Overlords could.
Unfortunately, this rule allowed no exceptions, and all four major races jointly enforced it.
The four races would not break this rule over a single supreme treasure.
After all, most of the King-level Immortals in the outside-the-domain battlefield belonged to the four races.
In the end, this treasure would most likely still fall into the hands of the four races.
As the number of experts grew,
they gradually divided into four camps.
These divisions were mainly based on their respective races.
At present, Luo Fan was staying together with the human race's King-level Immortals.
