Luo Feng, upon learning of the three innate arcane techniques, realized he could finally return home, filling his heart with unbridled joy.
“The Heaven and Earth of Primordial Form and Void Dominion?” Luo Feng instantly recalled the details he had previously studied about these two secret techniques—their effects and cultivation requirements.
“Absolute Space” was an utterly aberrant secret art, one capable of driving beings to madness even amidst the cosmos. Yet, only the Gold-Horned Colossus could directly master this forbidden technique.
The secret technique was divided into three stages!
The first stage was named “Arc Light.”
The second stage was named “Myriad Transformations.”
The third stage was named “Teleportation.”
The key requirement to master this secret technique was—unceasing practice and profound insight! Only through endless repetition could one slowly attain mastery, accumulating sufficient experience to potentially reach enlightenment.
This secret technique primarily focused on explosive instantaneous speed.
According to the principles of this arcane technique—”Even if one attains the first stage of Cosmic Ascension, assuming the maximum flight velocity can reach 500 kilometers per second, such speed demands an extensive acceleration distance before peaking. Yet, the instantaneous burst velocity remains far inferior to 500 kilometers per second.”
“In battle, instantaneous burst speed is more important! Instant advancement, instant turning, instant stopping, instant retreat!”
Luo Feng understood this principle well.
It was like a sports car driving on a highway. Perhaps its maximum speed could reach 300 kilometers per hour, but how fast could it go in the first 0.1 seconds of acceleration? Reaching maximum speed requires time!
Humans accelerated faster than cars.
Yet their instantaneous burst speed was still far less than their maximum flight speed.
“Teleportation! Luo Feng, teleportation!” Bābātǎ exclaimed with exhilaration. “Not even your master, an Immortal-level powerhouse, could accomplish such a feat!”
“So…” Luo Feng sighed helplessly, “this secret technique ‘Absolute Space’ is incredibly difficult to master!”
Even the master of Yǐnmò Star, a powerful being, couldn’t achieve teleportation, showing how difficult it was.
Furthermore, the secret technique itself declared…
The first stage, with enough hard work, still had a chance of success.
Among the generations of Golden-Horned Colossi who inherited this arcane technique, though their lifespans stretched tenfold beyond those of human Realm Lords, most only attained partial mastery of the second stage. Rare were those who ever achieved complete proficiency in the second stage—the legendary “Myriad Metamorphoses.”
As for the third stage—teleportation?
That was practically a legend! Extremely difficult! It demanded relentless effort, profound insight, rare opportunity, and so much more.
“Luo Feng! You don’t grasp its true worth!” Bābǎtǎ exclaimed fervently. “Do you believe this arcane technique merely enhances explosive velocity? Far from it! This mystic art guides you from superficial mastery to profound enlightenment, aiding you in comprehending and experiencing the fundamental laws of cosmic space! Had your master possessed this esoteric knowledge, he might have attained the legendary supernatural power of teleportation!”
“Once you master teleportation, no one could kill you easily. If your master had this ability, he wouldn’t have died.” Bábǎtǎ continued.
Luo Feng smiled: “I said it was difficult, but I never said I wouldn’t cultivate it.”
“Oh, hahaha…”
Bábǎtǎ burst into laughter again.
“Luo Feng, this secret technique not only makes your movement techniques incredibly bizarre but also boosts your flight speed! And—once combined with ‘The Heaven and Earth of Primal Body,’ oh, ‘The Heaven and Earth of Primal Body’ is even more outrageous compared to ‘Absolute Space’!”
It really was abnormal!
Luo Feng fully grasped the cultivation requirements and effects of “The Heaven and Earth Primordial Body.” This secret technique was one of the eighteen unique arts recorded in the inherited memories. In terms of value, practicality, and efficiency, it truly surpassed “Absolute Space.” However, the reason these eighteen “unique arts” were labeled as “unique” didn’t necessarily mean they were all more powerful than ordinary secret techniques!
It just meant that their cultivation methods were extremely strict—how strict?
1. They required complex cultivation conditions. Even with hard work, if some conditions weren’t met, success was impossible.
2. There were shortcuts! But the conditions for those shortcuts were nearly impossible to achieve!
3. Only the Gold-Horned Giant Beast could cultivate them!
If the 3,199 ordinary arcane arts were developed by successive generations of Golden-Horned Colossi through enlightenment or by drawing inspiration from countless races—including humans and mechanoids—then although these arcane arts could only be mastered by Golden-Horned Colossi, most were originally conceived from the wisdom of other species. These races also possessed similar arcane arts, differing only in minor nuances.
However!
These 18 mystical techniques were utterly exclusive to the Golden-Horned Colossus! Even if disseminated, no other race could adapt or master them.
“The Heaven and Earth of Original Body” was also divided into three stages.
The first stage was considered “Minor Success.” The second stage was “Major Success,” and the third stage was “Ultimate.”
In short, “The Heaven and Earth of the Primal Form” was a unique secret technique that enabled the Golden-Horned Colossus to expand or contract its size at will! “Shrinking” and “Enlarging” were both fearsome abilities. For instance, if the Golden-Horned Colossus measured 180 meters in length, compressing itself while retaining its original weight would drastically amplify its density!
Bone density increased! Muscle density increased! Claws and horns became sharper and harder!
A punch delivering 100 kilograms of force.
Versus a needle delivering 100 kilograms of force—there was a huge difference in power!
Therefore…
After shrinking, the Gold-Horned Giant Beast’s claws became more terrifying, and its horns more piercing!
That was shrinking. What about growing?
Growing didn’t increase combat power, but… a ten-thousand-meter giant taking a single step would outpace any ordinary human with the same strength.
The advantage of growing was—
Faster flight!
A Gold-Horned Giant Beast, originally 180 meters long, growing to 1800 meters long, became like a floating island, its scales and wings ten times larger! Each flap of its wings increased speed dramatically!
…
“The Heaven and Earth of Original Body” first stage allowed a threefold change in body length. Combat power could reach three times the original.
The second stage allowed a ninefold change! Combat power could surge ninefold!
The third stage? It granted absolute mastery over size. Battle prowess could skyrocket by 36-fold! Whether shrinking 36 times, 100 times, or even 1000 times, combat strength remained unchanged… for the 36-fold amplification already represented the pinnacle of this arcane art. Further diminution would only sap physical vigor, rendering any additional power surge impossible.
Of course, although it was said to allow complete control over size, it wasn’t infinite. According to legend, the ultimate limit was ten thousand times! That meant a ten-kilometer-long Gold-Horned Giant Beast could shrink to one meter or grow to one hundred thousand kilometers long!
However…
The challenge of the third tier of “Primordial Body’s Heaven and Earth” far surpassed even that of the third tier of “Absolute Void”! As recorded in the legacy scriptures, only the Golden-Horned Colossus who forged this arcane art ever attained the third tier. Across endless eons, no other Golden-Horned Colossus had ever ascended to such heights.
Historically, most Gold-Horned Giant Beasts remained at the first stage.
Very few even reached the second stage!
Because this secret technique was truly extraordinary, it provoked the envy of the cosmos itself!
For instance, a ninth-stage World Lord who wandered the cosmos possessed combat power nearing the absolute limit. Most powerhouses were of similar strength, with only a rare few surpassing them.
But “The Heaven and Earth of Original Body” could allow the Gold-Horned Giant Beast to surge several times beyond that limit! Could it not invite cosmic jealousy?
After all…
The Golden-Horned Colossus possessed an innate arcane art—”Empowerment”!
“Luo Feng, your three innate abilities are: one for cultivation—’Devour,’ one for combat—’Amplify,’ and one for survival—’Clone,'” Bābātǎ explained.
When the Golden-Horned Behemoth was gravely wounded by a B6-class laser cannon, it activated its “Amplify” talent, instantly surging its speed and offensive might!
Since it was an innate talent, the enhancement level never changed!
“The Enhancement talent combined with ‘The Heaven and Earth of Original Body’ shrinking can double your combat power!”
“The Enhancement talent combined with ‘The Heaven and Earth of Original Body’ growing can double your flight speed!”
Bábǎtǎ let out a sigh and said, “And ‘Absolute Space’ is your ultimate technique for evasion and escape. At first, it focuses on instantaneous dodging, but later it evolves into comprehending the laws of space. As your understanding deepens, your flight speed will increase dramatically! The trajectory and power of the Gold-Horned attacks will also skyrocket.”
“So, combining the Enhancement talent with these two arcane arts can create synergy, maximizing their effects,” Bābǎtǎ said.
“Abnormal! So abnormal!” Bábǎtǎ couldn’t help but exclaim.
Luo Feng smiled.
Indeed, it was utterly bizarre, which was why these two arcane arts were so arduous to master. “Absolute Space” was somewhat manageable—though challenging, most Golden-Horned Colossi throughout the ages could at least reach the second tier. But as for “The Primordial Body’s Heaven and Earth,” countless Golden-Horned Colossi never progressed beyond the initial stage.
However, Luo Feng was clear-headed.
Too bizarre, it provokes the envy of the cosmos! That’s why Golden-Horned Colossi were so scarce, rarer even than Immortal Sovereigns!
Furthermore, across the cosmos, there existed twelve bloodlines of Star Beasts akin to the Gold-Horned Colossus. Among the myriad races, there were also unique lifeforms possessing extraordinary arcane arts, no less formidable than the Gold-Horned Colossus! Even among the vast multitudes of humanity, countless secret techniques flourished.
Take Luo Feng’s master, the Lord of Yinmo Star, for example. His “Soul Seal” arcane technique was utterly extraordinary, enabling him to subjugate powerful beings as his thralls!
You have good talent?
Fine, I’ll implant the “Soul Seal” into your soul while you’re weak, making you my loyal servant! No matter how great your talent, you’d only be my enforcer and bodyguard.
Therefore…
Luo Feng clearly understood that no powerhouse should be underestimated.
The Gold-Horned Giant Beast had three innate talents. One was the cultivation talent—”Devouring,” which allowed it to devour large amounts of metal into its “internal world,” with some area-effect abilities. Weaker beings could be directly devoured and killed. However, if the target was threatening, the internal world would automatically stop devouring. For example, the massive amount of metal released by Hong or a bundle of nuclear bombs.
The combat talent—”Enhancement,” instantly boosting speed and combat power, though at a great cost.
The survival ability—”Cloning,” permitted one clone at the Planetary level, a second at the Stellar level, and a third at the Universe level. In other words, the Golden-Horned Behemoth could only possess three clones in its entire existence. Each clone existed independently and cultivated autonomously.
For such a rare and nearly extinct race, the cosmos was fair, granting them survival talents!
For instance, among the twelve bloodlines, the “Frostpeak Colossus” possessed the innate survival skill—”Morphing Art,” granting it the ability to assume any form.
