Chapter 1055: Craftsman Master is Back
A spaceship floated in a space more than 3,000 light years from Craftsman Star.
Should I go or not? Luo Feng wondered.
He had sent Remote Ocean body out before. He didn't mind a slight energy loss, and he wouldn't care about the Golden King Armor. However, after experiencing the power of the flames—and seeing the three universe-overlord disciples of Craftsman Master standing outside the flames wearing ordinary true treasure armors—Luo Feng had confirmed that ordinary true treasure armors were not enough!
"Should I use my Force Armor?" Luo Feng frowned. Star Tower and Force Armor were the most important true treasures he had! The Force Armor would still be a great boon to him, even he became a universe master in the future.
Luo Feng thought about it for more than six hours. Numerous ideas popped up in his head, but all were vetoed.
"I'll go!" he finally decided.
After a short while, Mosha body took off with Golden Horned Beast body and Remote Ocean body.
Luo Feng had six true treasures in total: Tower Pearl, Star Map, Shi Wu Wing, Force Armor, Golden King Armor, and Nine Tiger River. He sent the Golden Horned Beast carrying three true treasures: Force Armor, Shi Wu Wing, and Nine Tiger River. The Force Armor was for Golden Horned Beast to resist the fire, and the Shi Wu Wings and Nine Tiger River were to be used to escape!
As for Golden King Armor and Star Map, they were useless under these circumstances. Although Tower Pearl was helpful, it was used for Star Tower to recognize Luo Feng as his master, and he couldn't lose it! Compared to Force Armor, the supreme true treasure Star Tower was far more important to Luo Feng. Thus, he wouldn't risk it.
If I fail and lose my Force Armor, losing my Shi Wu Wings and Nine Tiger River will be the least of my worries, Luo Feng thought.
Compared to Force Armor, Nine Tiger River and Shi Wu Wing were worthless.

Inside the vast space in Craftsman Star were space whirlpools beyond count. Mosha body floated in the sky and looked at the Craftsman Star in the distance.
"I must get the fourth black metal!" he said. "If Craftsman Master is there, I won't be able to get it. Fortunately, he happens to be outside, and the three universe overlords are resting. I might need to wait for an eternity if I miss this chance…"
I must go! he thought. Even if I fail and lose the Force Armor, there's still a chance I can get it back when I become stronger in the future. After all, Craftsman Master won't be able to use it, even if he does get it. It won't be difficult to get it back. And besides, Master Zuo Shan Ke might also interfere. The Force Armor was made by him, and it won't be a problem for him to get the armor back.
After taking this all into consideration, Luo Feng decided to go! His Force Armor was important to him, but the fourth black metal was even more so! Once he got it, he was likely to make his Golden Horned Beast body reach the perfect life gene level, after which he could perform the inherited technique known as "I Am the Universe."
"My power will surge with this move!" he said. "Even if I lose my Force Armor and get killed, my boundless Remote Ocean body will create more bodies. There's nothing to worry about."
Although his Force Armor was significant to Luo Feng, it wasn't vital. Still, if it weren't for the fourth metal of the "Nine Volume Manual," he wouldn't have risked it.

Mosha body teleported himself to Craftsman Star and entered the Craftsman Mountain after another teleportation. He was experienced, now; he had used his inherited technique "Domain" to enter the cave before and now went deeper inside. After performing Domain 100 times, he arrived in the deepest portion of the mountainside.
A three-foot-tall Golden Horned Beast floating in the air gazed at the black gourd connected by 36 chains. The gourd's mouth expelled endless flames, which were so powerful that they might turn an ordinary treasure into ashes.
The Golden Horned Beast body had performed "Deities of the Earth," "Beast God Transformation," and "Inherited Technique Amplification," and had reached his limit. He had even hidden a world ring that contained the Remote Ocean body and Mosha body.
"I'm consuming the godly power while the Remote Ocean body is supplying godly power," he said. "The Golden Horned Beast body, Remote Ocean body, together with Force Armor… I'll definitely get the fourth black metal now!"
The Golden Horned Beast body shrank to the size of a fist.
Sou!
He flew toward the mouth of the gourd. The black gourd was ten feet tall, and its mouth was about the size of a human head.
He entered the gourd. Inside, the Golden Horned Beast body immediately felt the horrifying heat of the flames. The black gourd was used to extract fire for Craftsman Master to make weapons. The flames that spewed from it made up only a small portion of the fire that raged inside. Here, the flames were much stronger—perhaps enough to annihilate a top-tier set treasure.
Hong!
The flames were endless.
The Golden Horned Beast became three feet long and drove the Force Armor by burning his godly body, which maximized his defense.
"Hahaha…! Nice! The Force Armor is indeed impressive. Although the fire is mighty, it's weakened to only 1/10,000th of its original power. It's still consuming my godly body, but it doesn't have any real effects now. Perhaps only 20 percent of my godly body will be gone when I get the black metal and leave."
Actually, his godly body was already being consumed quickly, but Luo Feng remained fairly relaxed.
Sou!
The Golden Horned Beast dove down. The godly body was also consumed gradually… 99.9 percent, 99.7 percent, 99.5 percent… 98.7 percent… However, after a short while, the Remote Ocean body started to transfer godly power from the world ring to restore the Golden Horned Beast body, and it went back to 100 percent. The Remote Ocean body had the same amount of godly power as the Golden Horned Beast body did.
Sou!
Sou!
Luo Feng kept diving down. The space inside the gourd was not large, having a diameter of around 6,000 miles, and the Golden Horned Beast body reached the bottom quickly. However, once he hit the bottom, he started to succumb to the heat. The flames at the bottom of the gourd were more sizzling than in any other area. Apparently, it was the essence of the fire. The flames glinted purple.
97 percent… 94 percent… 91 percent… 88 percent… His godly body was being quickly consumed.
"No! I need to hurry!"
The Golden Horned Beast reached the bottom where there were lots of materials. He grabbed the fourth black metal.
Weng!
There was dimming black light on the black metal and the material at the bottom. The Golden Horned Beast wasn't able to catch the black metal with all the integrated black light.
Howl!
The Golden Horned Beast looked down. The fire was worming its way inside the bottom of the gourd through the engravings in the black light. Energy accumulated at the bottom. Apparently, it was an engraving seal used to store the energies, and the materials were sealed under it.
"Trying to stop me by using an engraving seal without a master?" he said. "Break!"
His Shi Wu Wing slashed the black light!
Pu!
The black light was cut in half. His hoof grabbed the black metal, and he swallowed it. The godly power recognized him as his master like before, and the information contained in the black metal was transferred to him.
"Go!"
The Golden Horned Beast didn't dare hesitate. His godly body was down to only 62 percent, and the Remote Ocean body was at only 68 percent…
Sou!
The Golden Horned Beast shrank to the size of a fist and flew out of the gourd through its mouth. He landed on a rock.
"Finally, I got it!" the Golden Horned Beast said, elated.
Hong!
An enormous amount of power suddenly arrived, frightening Golden Horned Beast.
No…! Cutting the engraving seal alerted the Craftsman Master. He came back to his home to see what happened!
"You dare… to break my engraving?" an ancient voice roared.
Hong!
A gigantic arm descended through all the fire, and the Golden Horned Beast was seized!
The Golden Horned Beast felt the pressure pressing down on him. His godly body was quickly consumed… 50 percent… 42 percent… 36 percent…
"Supply! Remote Ocean body! Supply!"
Golden Horned Beast grew anxious. His godly body was quickly restored by the energies from the Remote Ocean body. When the palm stopped exerting power, Remote Ocean had already used up his power entirely, and the power in the Golden Horned Beast body was only at 42 percent.
"You survived my attack?"
The rocky arm grasped the Golden Horned Beast. There was a rumbling sound. He was Craftsman Master, and the conception contained in that move was enough to annihilate an ordinary universe overlord.
"You withstood my grab and have only stolen a material that is of no use anyway," said Craftsman Master. "I'll spare your life…"
Hong! Long! Long!
The space was reversed. The Golden Horned Beast felt the space and time around him changing, and he was already out in the space surrounding the Craftsman Star when he began to see things clearly again, in front of one of the giant space whirlpools.
"There are 98,200 wormholes," said the giant form of Craftsman Master, standing 6 million miles tall. "Two of them lead to places in the Land of Extremis!"
The giant threw the Golden Horned Beast into one of the giant space whirlpools—one bearing a tablet reading, "Land of Extremis" on it.
"I've given you a chance to survive," the voice said, entering into Luo Feng's mind as the Golden Horned Beast was tossed through the space whirlpool.
