The “Nine Calamities Secret Classic” could only be cultivated by blood-based life forms. Luo Feng’s Mosha Clan clone was an energy-based life form, which caused a significant difference between the Mosha Clan clone and his Earthling Original Self and the Golden-Horned Giant Beast clone. Even after absorbing the core essence of the Origin Treasures—the “Spatial Heart,” which triggered a transformation in the Mosha Clan clone—it still failed to break through the “hundredfold” limit.
This meant that the Mosha Clan clone was inherently weaker in terms of pure strength.
Its primary uses were for “escaping,” “hiding,” and “disguising.”
As for combat?
That still relied on the Original Self and the Golden-Horned Giant Beast clone.
Luo Feng selected the clone resembling the Nine Nether Sea because of its vast and boundless ocean of divine power.
“Hahahaha! This is like a pie falling from the sky!” Luo Feng’s laughter, clad in black, reverberated like shockwaves expanding in all directions. “What a delightful surprise! This third clone can cultivate the ‘Nine Calamities Secret Classic,’ granting it boundless potential. It might even rival the Nine Nether Sovereign. I shall name this third clone the ‘Nine Nether Clone.'”
From this moment on, the Original Self and the three clones were officially determined!
He possessed his original Earthling body, with the first clone being the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, the second clone the Mosha Clan, and the third clone the Nine Nether Clone!
“My foundation is now set. Whether I, Luo Feng, will become a frail sapling or the mightiest, tallest tree among the cosmic elites depends entirely on my own efforts!” At this moment, Luo Feng was brimming with confidence. With the Original Self and the three clones, standing among the cosmic elites posed no difficulty.
“But first, let me examine this Nine Nether Clone thoroughly.”
…
The Nine Nether Clone was indeed handsome, though its body was enormous—nearly ten thousand kilometers tall.
Sitting cross-legged on the grasslands, it resembled a colossal statue.
“Strength—approximately 300 times that of a Monarch-level being,” the Nine Nether Clone said in a low voice. “So the genetic level of this Nine Nether Clone is roughly 300 times. A World Tree at the Monarch level has a genetic level of around a thousand times. No wonder this Nine Nether Clone was successfully formed. But how can such a massive volume have only a 300-fold genetic level?”
Generally speaking, the higher the genetic level, the larger the body volume.
Of course, special lifeforms like plants or rock-based beings could have hundreds of times the genetic level yet still possess an enormous volume. Even ordinary lifeforms like the “Moyun Vine” could reach millions of kilometers in size, showing that plant-based lifeforms naturally had an advantage in volume.
“Why is this blood-based Nine Nether Clone so massive?” Sitting cross-legged, the Nine Nether Clone began to carefully sense its own body. Soon, it detected faint traces of laws within its bones, muscles, blood vessels, and blood, each carrying subtle messages.
Luo Feng’s consciousness absorbed these messages.
…
“I see now,” the Nine Nether Clone murmured softly.
Even the Lord of Chaos City was unaware of the Nine Nether Sovereign’s innate secret techniques. However, in reality, the Nine Nether Sovereign undoubtedly possessed innate abilities, as his Nine Nether Clone had two innate secret techniques.
The vast knowledge contained within this colossal entity enabled Luo Feng to fully comprehend the mysteries of the Nine Nether Realm.
The Nine Nether Clone possessed two innate secret techniques:
1. Sea Transformation
2. Creation
The first innate ability, “Ocean Transformation,” allowed the Nine Nether Clone to instantly transform into a sea spanning roughly 100,000 kilometers in diameter. The surrounding space-time would then fall under the dominion of the “Nine Nether Sea,” with the extent of control growing in tandem with the Clone’s power. In its weaker states, the influence over space-time was negligible, but at its peak—such as with the Nine Nether Sovereign—the “Nine Nether Sea” exerted absolute authority over the adjacent space-time, preventing any other cosmic sovereigns from entering the “Nine Nether Space-Time.”
The second innate technique, “Creation,” allowed the Clone to transform its entire body—bones, muscles, blood, and flesh—into a blood ocean. Through this “Creation” ability, it could refine energy, recombine genetic material, and eventually condense new life. If mastered well, it could even create an entire race. Since these beings would be created by the Clone, they would eternally serve and revere their creator.
“Powerful innate techniques,” the Nine Nether Clone said in a deep voice. “No wonder such a massive body is necessary.”
“A smaller body couldn’t transform into a sea.”
“Once transformed into a sea, it can control surrounding space-time to some extent, effectively boosting strength. It’s like a world-shattering attack technique, somewhat similar to the World Tree’s ‘Control of Space-Time.'”
“As for ‘Creation,’ it might appear somewhat redundant. However, the entire race within the Nine Nether Realm was likely formed in this manner. Energy-based lifeforms are probably the simplest to create. As long as one comprehends the essence of life, countless beings can be generated.” Luo Feng nodded to himself. “Though it may seem superfluous, establishing a race that is utterly loyal and devoted is indeed a remarkable accomplishment.”
“Hahahaha…”
“I’ve gained things I never anticipated. This ‘Nine Nether Clone’ can manipulate the surrounding space-time, possessing innate spatial abilities.” The profound, resonant voice of the Nine Nether Clone reverberated across the heavens and earth. “Moreover, it’s a bloodline-based lifeform.”
Both blood-based lifeforms and spatial talents were unexpected gains, bringing Luo Feng great joy.
“But… something’s off with the size of the blood sea.”
The messages from the innate technique say I can instantly transform into a sea with a diameter of about 100,000 kilometers. But the seas of the Crown Prince and the Nine Nether Sovereign are much larger.
The Nine Nether Clone frowned, lost in contemplation.
A Monarch-level prince possessed a blood sea spanning approximately 80 million kilometers in diameter.
An Immortal-level prince possessed a sea spanning approximately 960 million kilometers in diameter.
A Venerable-level prince possessed a sea spanning from 32 billion to 101 billion kilometers in diameter.
Yet the innate technique’s message stated that the “Sea Transformation” could only create a sea with a diameter of about 100,000 kilometers—far smaller than even a Monarch-level prince.
“Sea Transformation!” The Nine Nether Clone immediately unleashed its innate ability.
Boom~~~
In an instant, every bone, muscle, skin, and drop of blood melted away. In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a vast, surging blood sea with a diameter of about 100,000 kilometers. Suspended in the sky above Luo Feng’s inner world, the blood sea roared with power. The moment the transformation occurred, Luo Feng’s consciousness sensed a faint control over the surrounding space-time. However, due to his current Monarch-level status, the control over space-time was still very weak.
Yet the perception of “time” and “space” was extremely clear, indicating strong spatial talents.
“Grow.”
“Grow.”
“Grow larger!” Luo Feng’s consciousness commanded the blood sea, yet despite his utmost efforts, its diameter stubbornly remained at approximately 100,000 kilometers—a far cry from the 80 million kilometers span of a Monarch-level prince.
…
“Why is this happening?” The blood sea churned in the sky, while the Golden-Horned Giant Beast and Mosha Clan clones stood on the grasslands, deep in thought.
“Why is my Nine Nether Clone’s transformed sea so different from that of the Nine Nether Sovereign and the 108 Princes? Its volume is clearly much smaller.” Luo Feng was puzzled. A blood sea with a diameter of only 100,000 kilometers was nothing special in the universe. There were countless lifeforms with even larger volumes, especially plant-based and rock-based beings.
After a moment of reflection, he organized the information.
“This doesn’t add up.”
“The Nine Nether Sovereign and the 108 Princes seem different from me.”
“The innate technique ‘Sea Transformation’ allows instant transformation into a sea or back to the original form.” The blood sea churning in the sky instantly receded, reverting to the nearly ten-thousand-kilometer-tall Nine Nether Clone, speaking in a deep voice. “Yet the 108 Imperial Seas and the Nine Nether Sea have remained unchanged for eons, never shifting.”
The Nine Nether Sea spanned over ten light-years in diameter!
Forging the Nine Nether Space-Time, it had remained within the Ancestral Secret Realm for countless ages. Likewise, the seas of the 108 Princes had never shifted from the heart of the Nine Nether Realm.
Furthermore, as mentioned by the Lord of Chaos City, whenever the Nine Nether Sovereign perishes in battle, the Nine Nether Sea would give rise to a new sovereign.
“But the innate technique ‘Sea Transformation’ implies a choice between becoming the sea or retaining the original form—they cannot coexist. If the original is destroyed, it should mean complete annihilation. If rebirth is possible, then the one who perished couldn’t have been the true original!” Luo Feng contemplated. “There’s only one path to achieve rebirth like the Nine Nether Sovereign—first transform into a sea, then utilize the ‘Creation’ ability to forge an energy clone, with the majority of consciousness residing within that duplicate.”
“In that case, even if the energy clone is destroyed, it can be reformed.”
“And the reason the Nine Nether Sea never moves—perhaps it’s not because it doesn’t want to, but because it can’t.” Luo Feng quickly deduced. “If it could move, then the Nine Nether Sovereign, carrying the Nine Nether Sea, would be unstoppable across the cosmos.”
“In other words…”
“The Nine Nether Sea, though boundless beyond imagination, is also utterly still.”
…
Luo Feng quickly deduced many clues from these subtle hints, and gradually, the truth began to unfold before him.
“The Nine Nether Sovereign and his princes must have employed some extraordinary method to continuously expand their transformed seas… but at the cost of losing their freedom of movement,” murmured Luo Feng. “Though immobile, their colossal size grants them nearly boundless divine power, rendering them virtually immortal.”
Plant-based and rock-based special lifeforms rarely moved.
The larger the volume, the harder it was to move independently.
With a size like the Nine Nether Sea, immobility wasn’t surprising.
“But how exactly did they manage to expand their seas to such sizes?” The nearly ten-thousand-kilometer-wide blood sea trembled in the sky. How could it grow from 100,000 kilometers to 80 million? That was an entirely different level. An 80-million-kilometer sea contained vastly more energy than a 100,000-kilometer sea. Normally, even after becoming an Immortal, the volume remained unchanged—still about ten thousand kilometers tall, transforming into a sea of only 100,000 kilometers.
Yet the Imperial Princes, even at the Immortal and Venerable levels, transformed into ever-expanding seas. The largest sea of a Venerable Imperial Prince reached a diameter of 101 billion kilometers.
“How did the Nine Nether Sovereign and his imperial princes attain such enormous stature?”
