“Domain?” Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.
On Earth, only Hong possessed a domain. It was precisely because of this domain that Hong was the undisputed number one warrior in the world. Yet now, from Hong’s words, it seemed even Thunder God had acquired his own domain.
“That’s impossible!!!”
“How could that happen?”
Inside the intelligent space on his wrist, Babata widened his eyes in disbelief and couldn’t help exclaiming in shock, “Domain! How could two warriors with domains suddenly appear on a single planet? And both are Star-Level warriors! This is simply impossible. Having one freak is already like winning the lottery jackpot. How can there be two?”
“Ba Ba Ta, there’s no need to be so dramatic,” Luo Feng communicated mentally, “If Thunder God has a domain, then the chances of successfully fighting against the Golden-Horned Beast will be greater. That’s a good thing.”
Luo Feng’s mood was heavy.
“No, Luo Feng, you don’t understand,” Babata quickly replied within the intelligent space. “Let me put it this way: your Duntian Shuttle has three forms divided into nine layers. You should remember the conditions for the third form.”
“I do. To reach ‘Cosmic-Level,’ an amplitude of 48, and to possess one’s own domain. Only then can you cultivate and use it,” Luo Feng replied clearly.
“Reaching Cosmic-Level is just one of the three conditions. What does that tell you? Even among Cosmic-Level warriors, only a few possess domains! Cosmic-Level! Normally, a galaxy only has one such warrior, and even then, they might not have a domain!” Babata couldn’t help but get agitated. “According to the four major levels of cultivation—Foundation, Intent, Domain, and World—you’re still at the ‘Foundation’ level.”
“Even among Stellar-Level warriors, only a very, very small minority possess domains.”
“For a Planetary-Level warrior to have a domain? It’s like winning the lottery jackpot! Having one like ‘Hong’ on Earth was already stretching the odds, but now ‘Thunder God’ also has a domain? Statistically, this probability is practically one in a billion billion!!!” Babata couldn’t help but shout.
Luo Feng thought for a moment. Babata’s shock did make sense.
A Cosmic-Level existence, born only once per galaxy, might not even possess a domain. The difficulty for a Planetary-Level warrior to obtain one was beyond imagination. Yet now, two had appeared on Earth at once!
“Alright then,” Babata nodded. “With Thunder God having a domain, if he and Hong join forces and unleash a final, desperate strike, there might actually be a chance of success.”
“A chance?” Luo Feng, hearing those three words from Babata, couldn’t help but feel a surge of hope.
“Yes, Luo Feng. You haven’t ventured into the universe yet, so you don’t understand how rare having a domain truly is. If Hong and Thunder God were discovered in the cosmos, they wouldn’t be killed out of jealousy—they’d be immediately invited to join powerful factions. Planetary-Level warriors with domains are the very definition of genius.”
“And when domain warriors decide to fight to the death—”
“It becomes terrifying. Because they can truly combine their genetic energy, physical strength, spiritual power, and consciousness into one, resonating with the very fabric of the universe,” Babata explained. “And when they fight to the death, they burn their souls, pushing the fusion of these forces to an unimaginable level.”
“Without going all-out, a domain warrior within the Planetary-Level is already considered invincible at their tier.”
“But if they do go all-out, one is a seventh-stage Planetary-Level warrior, the other an eighth-stage. It seems Hong’s mastery of the domain is deeper—he may have already entered the second layer of domain. If the two of them burn their souls and fight to the death, it’s hard to say who will win,” Babata sighed. “Two peerless geniuses… in the universe, there would be no need for them to fight like this.”
…
On the lawn of the Bright Moon residential complex, Luo Feng watched as several warships flew away into the distance.
“Hong, Thunder God, please succeed!” Luo Feng silently prayed.
“Roar~~”
“Boom~~~”
From the east came the sounds of roaring, explosions, and monstrous growls. Flames lit up the sky. Earlier that morning, the sea beasts had already begun their true battle against Jiangnan Base City! However, with humanity’s decades of preparation, they could certainly withstand the sea beasts’ assault—at least for now.
…
“Screeeak!” Luo Feng pushed open the door and walked into the living room.
The entire family was there.
“Bro, how did it go?” Luo Hua stood up and quickly asked.
“Did the Devourer die?” Xu Xin, who had been sitting on the sofa, stood up with a tense and hopeful expression. All seven people in the living room were staring at Luo Feng. Earlier, Luo Feng had already hinted that there would be an attack on the Devourer, and he had seemed quite confident about killing it.
“No,” Luo Feng shook his head slightly.
“But there’s still hope,” Luo Feng said in a low voice. “There must be hope.”
With that, Luo Feng went straight upstairs.
The seven people in the living room exchanged glances.
Gong Xinlan whispered softly, “Xiao Feng is under a lot of pressure. Xu Xin, go up and keep him company.”
“Okay,” Xu Xin immediately followed him up the stairs.
…
In the second-floor bedroom.
Luo Feng threw himself onto the bed and stared at the ceiling.
“Ba Ba Ta, is there any other way to kill the Devourer?” Luo Feng asked.
“No. Even the B6 laser cannon failed and was destroyed. There’s no other way. It’s up to those two Planetary-Level domain geniuses to give it their all,” Babata replied. “If they burn their souls, there’s still a chance.”
“Ba Ba Ta.”
Luo Feng quickly thought, “What about my fragment of the Red Chaos Copper Mother? It’s incredibly sharp. If Hong and Thunder God could use it, maybe they could kill the Golden-Horned Beast.”
“No. One uses a gun, the other a blade,” Babata rejected the idea. “Only with their guns and blades can they fully unleash the power of their domains. How would two warriors even use a single fragment of the Red Chaos Copper Mother? Only you, as a mentalist, can wield it.”
Luo Feng felt anxious.
This feeling of helplessly waiting for humanity’s doom was unbearable. He could do nothing.
“Don’t panic. I’m currently forging a spear and a war blade,” Babata said. “Although Hong and Thunder God’s weapons—guns and blades—are considered divine on Earth, they’re far too weak by cosmic standards. I’m using some of the spaceship’s metal materials to craft and refine two new weapons for them. In terms of sharpness and toughness, they’ll definitely surpass what they’re currently using.”
“Good.”
Suddenly, Luo Feng heard footsteps outside. The door opened, and Xu Xin walked in.
“Tired?” Xu Xin sat on the bed and gently massaged Luo Feng’s shoulders.
“Not really,” Luo Feng inhaled the faint scent coming from Xu Xin and instinctively reached out, pulling her into his arms.
Xu Xin leaned closer into Luo Feng’s embrace, resting her head on his chest as she softly said, “Luo Feng, there’s something I wanted to tell you after this disaster passed, but I’m afraid if I don’t say it now, I might never get the chance.”
“What is it?” Luo Feng asked, puzzled.
“I… I’m pregnant,” Xu Xin whispered.
The words were soft, yet they exploded in Luo Feng’s ears like thunder.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng shot upright, staring at Xu Xin in shock, “You… you said…”
“Yep,” Babata’s voice echoed in Luo Feng’s mind. “Let me check… Oh wow! Twins! Both boys! Haha…”
“Pregnant? This… this…” Luo Feng’s eyes widened.
He felt both joy and anxiety in his heart.
What a situation!
Indeed, earlier during winter break, he had already been living with Xu Xin, and they had even started discussing when to get married. Living together as a single man and woman, things naturally progressed. If it weren’t for the Golden-Horned Beast, hearing that Xu Xin was pregnant would have made Luo Feng incredibly happy. But now—
The entire human society was on the brink of collapse, and Xu Xin was pregnant—with twins!
“Aren’t you happy?” Xu Xin was startled.
“I am happy… just overwhelmed,” Luo Feng felt a sudden surge of anxiety. He hadn’t been prepared for this burden to fall on his shoulders so suddenly!
Back then, when he and Xu Xin had gotten together, he hadn’t even thought about precautions. He had thought pregnancy was a good thing—they were going to get married anyway. But who could have predicted this…
If they failed to kill the Golden-Horned Beast, the entire human society would be doomed.
Even if he had the power to protect his wife and child, could he let them live a life of solitude? Luo Feng knew clearly—without reaching the Planetary-Level, wandering the universe would be a death sentence!
“Luo Feng, what are you thinking?” Xu Xin reached out and grabbed his arm.
“Nothing.”
Luo Feng gently hugged Xu Xin, lowered his head, and rested it on her abdomen. Xu Xin couldn’t help but smile, “It’s still too early. You won’t hear anything yet.”
“I can hear it.”
Luo Feng whispered silently, feeling the inheritance of blood. Before, when Hong had spoken about wanting to give his children a chance to survive, Luo Feng hadn’t felt much connection. But now—he understood. It was an indescribable feeling!
“Children, I don’t know if I’ll live to see you born. But I promise, you will have a beautiful childhood. You will go to school, learn martial arts… I won’t let you live in fear or despair. I promise—with my life.”
…
On the morning of January 16th, a mist still hung in the air.
Luo Feng, stepping on the Duntian Shuttle, arrived at Hongning Base City.
The streets of Hongning Base City were empty, with no pedestrians in sight. Only large numbers of troops could be seen rapidly advancing. Luo Feng landed at the entrance of the interstellar transport ship.
“Inspector Luo.”
The guards at the entrance saluted respectfully.
Luo Feng entered directly and quickly made his way to the cultivation chamber where Hong and Thunder God were in retreat. As he walked down the corridor, Luo Feng saw two people—a man and a woman, both young. The woman’s facial features resembled Hong’s. Luo Feng had seen information about Hong’s children before.
“Inspector Luo.”
The young pair quickly saluted.
“Are you the innkeeper’s children?” Luo Feng inquired. Though they appeared youthful, the pair were in fact older than Luo Feng—his cultivation merely lent him a more youthful visage.
“Yes.”
The young man and woman both had red-rimmed eyes, clearly having just cried.
“I won’t be going in to see the Hall Master. Please deliver these two weapons to the Hall Master and the Thunder God respectively. And—this close-combat armor, give it to the Thunder God.” Luo Feng said as he handed over the backpack he carried. Inside lay the two razor-sharp weapons painstakingly forged overnight by Babata, along with the personal armor that once belonged to the fallen officer—the former master of the Black Dragon Mountain X81 spacecraft.
Hong had the fully protective Muyun Vine, so it was better to give it to Thunder God.
“This—”
The young pair looked surprised.
“The master has seldom been there for you, but your father is truly remarkable,” Luo Feng said before turning away.
