Boom! Boom! Boom! Swish!
The sea was raging with blood-red waves. Luo Feng’s entire inner world had become a sea of blood. The original landmasses had all vanished, transformed into ‘World Power’ and completely consumed. Looking across the entire inner world, only a single landmass remained in the center of the endless sea, with a diameter of a million kilometers.
At the core of this landmass was the ‘Two-World Abyss’. This abyss was where the Golden-Horned Giant Beast used its ‘Devouring’ ability to digest everything.
At the heart of the Two-World Abyss was a ‘Golden-Horned World Stone’.
…
Except for this island, the entire inner world, nearly an hundred million kilometers in diameter, had completely become an endless sea of blood.
“Boom!” The blood waves split apart, and a massive figure strode forth from the waves. He wore a magnificent black armor with crimson trimmings—this was the Youhai Clone formed through ‘Creation’, towering at over nine thousand kilometers tall, with a genetic life level of a thousandfold.
“This is troublesome now.”
The blood waves surged like fountains as the Youhai Clone stood atop the crest, his gaze piercing through the entire inner world.
“My inner world has been completely obscured, except for the Two-World Abyss,” the Youhai Clone murmured softly. “But my sea of blood clearly hasn’t expanded to its limit yet.”
“If the inner world expands further, I fear the nucleus won’t be able to sustain it.”
“Wait…”
“It seems my nucleus has undergone some transformation.”
Luo Feng quickly withdrew most of his consciousness from the Youhai Clone and returned to the nucleus, carefully sensing the nucleus. Indeed, after undergoing some strange transformation, the nucleus appeared hazy and chaotic in color. Moreover, sustaining an inner world nearly a hundred million kilometers in diameter felt effortless, almost easy.
The larger the inner world, the greater the pressure on the nucleus.
The method of expanding the world through ‘Metal Devouring’ involved continuously strengthening the nucleus with golden energy, making the nucleus extremely powerful. Only then could one possess an enormous inner world.
“My nucleus feels at ease. Could my inner world still expand further?” Luo Feng pondered with his consciousness. “Let’s try.”
…
Within the inner world.
Above the endless sea of blood, clusters of cosmic crystal mountains suddenly appeared out of nowhere. One of these cosmic crystal mountains immediately began to dissolve, releasing vast amounts of World Power that began to integrate into the inner world. During this period, the sea of blood had been absorbing energy continuously, so the inner world had instead transformed its continents, rivers, and other elements into World Power and fed them back into itself.
With an endless supply of World Power for the inner world to absorb, it was like a hungry child, devouring voraciously.
Boom! Boom! The heavens and earth trembled.
Growing and growing…
“It really is getting bigger, even bigger!” Standing atop the surging blood waves, the Blood Sea Clone let out a thunderous laugh that shook the heavens and earth. “The inner world can indeed expand further. Excellent! However, the best way to expand the inner world isn’t through cosmic crystals, but through metal!”
By devouring metal, one could expand the inner world.
First, some of the purest golden essence that the inner world could not absorb would gather on the ‘Golden-Horned World Stone.’
Second, the golden essence would also transform the nucleus, making it stronger and thus capable of supporting a larger inner world.
“Purchase metal alloy debris!”
…
The four peak races would engage in war almost every thousand epochs. Each war would leave behind a vast amount of metal alloy debris. If refined, these debris could be reused, but the refining cost was extremely high, making the value of the debris quite low, regardless.
Even E-grade alloy debris, though low in value, remained E-grade. If the quantity was extremely large, its price would still be astronomical.
“Start with one hundred million Yuan He units.”
“Master Luo Feng, the materials you require are below your free quota. This is free of charge.”
…
One hundred million Yuan He units, even if used to purchase intact E-grade cosmic ships, would be able to cover the sky and earth. Let alone purchasing merely these discarded alloy debris—it was simply more cost-effective than using cosmic crystals to expand the inner world. Moreover… Luo Feng’s usage was free!
“Roar~~~”
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast entered a World Ring, an enormous ring with a diameter of one hundred million kilometers, containing an endless amount of debris.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast first used the ‘Original Body and Heaven’ technique to rapidly increase its body size. Then, it opened its mouth and unleashed its innate secret art ‘Devouring.’ With a body stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers, it opened its mouth as wide as an ocean and, upon unleashing ‘Devouring,’ its twisted spatial power directly covered an area nearly a hundred thousand kilometers in diameter.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh~~~
Countless metal debris surged in wildly, being sucked in like an endless abyss, continuously devoured.
…
Within the inner world.
Countless metals were swiftly devoured by the ‘Abyss of Dual Realms.’ An endless golden mist billowed outward, only to be absorbed by the inner world, which then began expanding frenziedly!
While devouring the massive amounts of metal, the faintest traces of golden essence—refined from the endless metals but unabsorbable by the inner world—continued to be absorbed by the ‘Golden-Horned World Stone.’ Strangely, during the expansion of the inner world, the nucleus itself underwent no changes whatsoever.
It seemed that devouring metal brought no benefits to the nucleus.
“What’s going on.”
“In the past, when I devoured metals to expand my inner world, the nucleus was constantly evolving, until reaching the ninth stage of World Lord.”
“Has it reached saturation?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but wonder.
Back when the original Youhai Clone’s life level reached 10081x, further cultivation with the Nine Calamities Secret Art was useless. Was the nucleus the same—having reached an extremely high level, devouring metals no longer had any effect?
“Forget it. Devouring metal, I’ll just keep devouring metal. Although it’s a bit tiring for the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, at least it strengthens my Golden-Horned World Stone,” Luo Feng mused inwardly. “In history, even the more powerful Golden-Horned Giant Beasts usually had inner worlds of about one hundred million kilometers in diameter. Their Golden-Horned World Stones were already highly prized materials favored by Cosmic Sovereigns. As for my Golden-Horned World Stone…”
Luo Feng himself wasn’t sure whether any other Golden-Horned Giant Beast had experienced the same fate as his.
Reaching a genetic life level of 10081x already surpassed most unique special lifeforms. Luo Feng couldn’t be certain he was the only one, but judging from the sheer absurdity of the Nine Calamities Secret Art, he deduced that even among the Golden-Horned Giant Beast Clan, anyone as extraordinary as himself would likely have been painstakingly cultivated by a Cosmic Overlord. Having even one such individual would be rare enough.
“Devour!”
“Devour metal.”
“I want to see just how powerful my Golden-Horned World Stone can become.”
…
The scale of alloy debris Luo Feng required left the senior officials responsible for the scrap sectors in shock. Deliveries came in entire World Rings at a time, filled and sent over continuously. Such a consumption rate was rarely seen even by them.
“Not enough.”
“Not enough yet. My inner world has already expanded to a diameter of ten billion kilometers, yet… yet it still hasn’t reached its limit?” Luo Feng was utterly stunned. He hadn’t expected his inner world to grow to such an extent.
“Send more alloy debris.” Luo Feng accepted every delivery without hesitation.
“The larger the inner world, the more stable and powerful the divine kingdom formed in the future will be.” Luo Feng became increasingly eager. “Just how large can my inner world expand?”
Under normal circumstances.
A World Ring with a diameter of one hundred million kilometers would consume only a few Yuan He units worth of cosmic crystals. The reason it was so cheap was because World Lords could resonate with the fundamental source of the universe, drawing in endless cosmic power to form cosmic crystals. Since this was so easy and abundant, the price was low.
A world with a diameter of one hundred billion kilometers would consume about one million Yuan He units of cosmic crystals.
A world with a diameter of one trillion kilometers would consume one trillion Yuan He units of cosmic crystals.
But since Luo Feng was using alloy debris instead, the cost was even lower. Still, he had used up several billion Yuan He units worth of alloy debris… and ‘several billion Yuan He units’ remained within his free quota. In fact, Luo Feng himself didn’t even care about such trivial expenses. Selling just one heavy treasure casually would fetch ten trillion Yuan He units.
…
This process of devouring and expanding the inner world lasted for more than three months. During these three months, the Golden-Horned Giant Beast rested only one hour each day, split into six ten-minute intervals. The rest of the time was spent frantically unleashing ‘Devouring,’ with endless alloy debris being sucked in as if falling into a black hole.
“A diameter of one trillion kilometers!”
“Finally… reached the limit!”
Atop the blood waves.
The Mosha Clan Clone, Golden-Horned Giant Beast Clone, and Youhai Clone all gazed in all directions, each somewhat dazed.
It was too absurd!
Too absurd indeed! A Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s inner world was usually about one hundred million kilometers in diameter, but now it had become one trillion kilometers!
“What exactly happened to my nucleus, allowing it to sustain such a massive inner world?” Luo Feng himself was also astonished. He realized that at the same time his consciousness had gained the incredible innate secret art ‘I Am the Universe,’ his core—the nucleus—had undergone a terrifying transformation.
“This is… the Golden-Horned World Stone!”
The Mosha Clan Clone, Golden-Horned Giant Beast Clone, and Youhai Clone all flew to the sky above the Two-World Abyss, gazing down.
“Buzz~~”
Golden rays of light shot forth from the depths of the Two-World Abyss, rippling the space around them. Although the Golden-Horned World Stone was hidden deep within the abyss, it naturally emitted a hazy golden glow. To form an inner world with a diameter of one trillion kilometers (approximately one trillion kilometers in length, width, and height), the amount of metal debris consumed was unimaginable. The faintest traces of golden essence extracted from this process, continuously accumulating, had also caused the Golden-Horned World Stone to undergo special changes.
“I suspect my Golden-Horned World Stone might be the strongest ever among all Golden-Horned Giant Beasts throughout cosmic history,” Luo Feng mused inwardly. “It’s probably the only one so powerful. The chances of there being a second are extremely low.”
“Typically, Golden-Horned World Stones are precious materials used by Cosmic Sovereigns.”
“As for mine, strengthened a trillionfold, this unique Golden-Horned World Stone must be of immeasurable value.” Luo Feng had a feeling that the value of the Golden-Horned World Stone would be extraordinary, though limited by his perspective, he couldn’t yet see just how valuable it truly was.
…
“My inner world has reached its limit!”
“The Golden-Horned World Stone has also reached its limit!”
“Hahahaha! An inner world spanning a trillion kilometers in diameter, the Blood Sea… let me see just how far you can expand now.” Luo Feng finally began his frenzied expansion. Massive amounts of cosmic crystals, mountains upon mountains, were directly fed into his inner world, allowing the Blood Sea to expand to its heart’s content.
