Permanent Martial Arts Chapter 1966: Spacetime Terminating Supreme Treasure!
The Myriad Realm was celebrated as the domain of ten thousand worlds. In truth, however, the number of worlds contained within it far exceeded that count.
Yet, when Lin Feng activated the spacetime prison at its maximum capacity to consume the energy of the Myriad Realm without restraint, even this vast domain found itself unable to endure the strain.
Native powerhouses of the Myriad Realm were struck with terror as they witnessed the rapid depletion of their realm's energy. Despite their fear, none dared to interfere. They were forced to stand by as spectators, watching helplessly while world after world began to shrivel and fade.
Lin Feng, however, did not act without caution. He avoided draining resources to the point of total ruin, ensuring that no individual world actually met its demise.
Having claimed the Spacetime Heart, Lin Feng had effectively become the legitimate sovereign of the Myriad Realm. It served as one of his primary strongholds. Even if he chose not to govern it meticulously, he certainly had no intention of letting it shatter or collapse into nothingness.
Consequently, Lin Feng ensured that enough energy remained for the basic operation of every world. Nevertheless, the total energy harvested from such a vast multitude of worlds was staggering.
The scale of it was simply beyond belief!
Lin Feng felt the spacetime prison expand significantly, its size increasing by countless magnitudes.
Still, the exact moment of its final metamorphosis remained a mystery to him.
Following this, Lin Feng became quite "proactive" regarding his leaps into the future.
With two timelines now under his command and his spacetime prison greatly enhanced, Lin Feng felt no trepidation, even if he were to cross paths with other spacetime cultivators.
Lin Feng remained within the Myriad Realm for several centuries. Once he had restored stability and order to the realm, he utilized the Spacetime Heart of the Myriad Realm to perform another warp.
For this journey, Lin Feng picked a timeline at random. Given his current level of power, even a spacetime cultivator possessing ten timelines would likely fall before him.
Lin Feng’s primary objective was not the mere acquisition of timelines, but rather the continuous strengthening of the spacetime prison. As for the deep comprehension of the Dao and the act of severing the future, he no longer pursued them with desperate intensity.
He understood that only through sufficient accumulation would the realization of those principles become possible.
Thus, he moved through one, two, three, four, five timelines...
Upon warping to each new timeline, Lin Feng would consume a portion of that world's energy, fueling the constant growth of his spacetime prison.
This increasingly formidable spacetime prison rendered Lin Feng nearly invincible and beyond defeat!
In one particular timeline, Lin Feng encountered a powerful spacetime cultivator who commanded eleven timelines. Unfortunately for his opponent, the effort was futile; Lin Feng crushed him with almost no exertion.
However, despite his growing number of controlled timelines, his understanding of the fundamental principles of spacetime showed little improvement.
As the ancient lore suggested, one might master dozens or even hundreds of timelines and still fail to break free from the shackles of the future. Failure to sever the future meant one could not take that inaugural step toward truly transcending spacetime!
Nevertheless, there was a glimmer of progress.
Upon securing his twenty-first timeline, Lin Feng finally sensed that his spacetime prison had reached a threshold, trembling on the verge of a metamorphosis.
...
The twenty-first timeline under Lin Feng’s dominion was known as the Iridescent Realm.
It was here that Lin Feng realized the spacetime prison had reached its capacity. It was ready to evolve, but the Iridescent Realm could no longer supply the necessary energy without facing total destruction.
Even if he allowed the Iridescent Realm to collapse, there was no guarantee the metamorphosis would complete.
Therefore, Lin Feng required a more expansive world teeming with richer energy. He would have to travel to a twenty-second timeline.
Lin Feng had a lingering suspicion that this twenty-second timeline would prove vital to his journey.
This was not the first time he had experienced such a premonition.
Lin Feng exhaled slowly.
At his current level of Cultivation, he was capable of sensing subtle, extraordinary threads of information, particularly those tied to his own fate.
Throughout this period, Lin Feng had been on a relentless spree of occupying timelines and warping through the void. He had toppled numerous spacetime cultivators, including formidable experts wielding over ten timelines.
Some of these masters controlled more than ten, and a few even surpassed twenty. Having existed for vast spans of time, some timelines had even given birth to a second Spacetime Heart.
Thus, encountering such figures again would not shock Lin Feng.
He felt a faint intuition that entering the twenty-second timeline would involve a certain level of peril.
However, Lin Feng did not consider this danger to be a significant obstacle.
During his travels, he had gained the reputation of the "King of Devouring," becoming a figure of renown.
Whether an opponent had twenty timelines or even thirty, in Lin Feng's eyes, they were nothing more than stepping stones.
Furthermore, since this path held the key to his spacetime prison’s metamorphosis, there was no way Lin Feng would retreat.
Casting aside his doubts, he resolved to use the Spacetime Heart immediately.
As Lin Feng engaged the Spacetime Heart, various visions flooded his mind.
One image in particular captured his attention. Within that vision, the spacetime prison showed unmistakable signs of beginning its metamorphosis.
Naturally, these were merely glimpses of potential futures. The future was subject to infinite variables, and Lin Feng might alter its course the very moment he arrived.
Despite this, Lin Feng’s resolve remained firm.
Swoosh.
In a flash, Lin Feng triggered the Spacetime Heart, and his presence vanished instantly from the Iridescent Realm.
...
Within the Dragon Coiling Realm...
Thirteen peak spacetime cultivators had assembled. Each of these cultivators held mastery over at least ten timelines.
Their leader, the most powerful among them, commanded over thirty timelines.
At this moment, every individual in the group wore a look of lethal intent.
Had Lin Feng been present, he would likely have been stunned.
Each of these thirteen peak spacetime cultivators had previously clashed with him in different timelines, and every single one had suffered defeat at his hands.
That they had all converged in the same timeline was nothing short of a miracle.
“West Wing Master, are you absolutely certain the King of Devouring will pick this specific timeline?”
“Indubitably. I paid a staggering price to calculate that the Dragon Coiling Realm is the most massive world across the myriad worlds of countless timelines. The King of Devouring persists in his consumption of energy specifically to trigger a metamorphosis in his eternal supreme treasure. He cannot ignore the Dragon Coiling Realm. He will come!”
“I hope your deduction is correct. The King of Devouring is far too frightening, particularly that eternal supreme treasure he carries. I can’t help but wonder what kind of artifact it is to be capable of metamorphosis. If it is this dominant now, how powerful will he become once the transformation is complete?”
“I have summoned you all to hunt the King of Devouring for the sake of that eternal supreme treasure. It is the spacetime prison, the fabled eternal supreme treasure capable of terminating spacetime itself! With it, one can sever both spacetime and the future. This is the very treasure that even Dawn sought to possess in the past.”
“What? An artifact that can terminate spacetime? I thought that was merely a myth. Does such a thing truly exist?”
“Heh, you all command more than ten timelines. Stop feigning ignorance. If you didn't suspect the truth, would you have sacrificed a precious Spacetime Heart to reach this timeline? Let us cooperate in good faith. Unless the King of Devouring is defeated, none of us will ever lay eyes on that spacetime-terminating treasure.”
A silence fell over the group, though a spark of greed and excitement was visible in their eyes.
It was true; without substantial clues, why would they waste a rare Spacetime Heart just to be here? Was it truly for vengeance?
That was a ridiculous notion. It was nearly impossible for spacetime cultivators to truly kill one another, so why would they bother with petty revenge?
Their true motive was the supreme treasure held by the King of Devouring!
Buzz.
Suddenly, the fabric of spacetime began to ripple.
“He has arrived!”
The West Wing Master’s face turned grim. The power of his thirty-odd timelines shimmered faintly behind him as he fixed his gaze on a specific point in spacetime.
