In the Asian continent on Earth, in the city of Yangzhou within the nation of Huaxia.
At dawn, Luo Feng stepped onto the Dark Cloud Shuttle, transforming into a golden streak of light that vanished into the eastern horizon in an instant.
…
Above the East China Sea.
Luo Feng stood atop the Dark Cloud Shuttle, gazing eastward at the red sun slowly rising from the horizon.
“This fifth-grade mental energy weapon is truly different from the third-grade ones,” Luo Feng murmured, looking down at the Dark Cloud Shuttle beneath his feet. He had purchased it at the previous Qianwu Auction, which was held every three years. The first auction was at the end of 2065, Huaxia time, and had cost him a fortune.
Another auction was held at the end of 2068.
At that time, he had been in the middle of the Samsara War and had specially requested a ten-day leave to attend the auction.
The Samsara War could be adjusted.
Because with over 9,000 participants over three years, unexpected events might occur, so the schedule was flexible. Those ten days should have included 100 battles. However, after discussing with his opponents, they had all agreed to reschedule. Only then did the organizers approve his request, giving him the chance to attend the auction.
“One Dark Cloud Shuttle and two units of Lian Luo fruits cost me an entire Mixed Yuan unit,” Luo Feng mused. “Thankfully, I had the money my younger brother earned from investments.”
In 2065, after buying the Mosha Clan skin, the Zhen Shen Weapon, and Lian Luo fruits, he had been left with only several hundred billion cosmic credits—less than one Mixed Yuan unit.
During these three years, he hadn’t earned any money.
Luckily, after the last auction, his younger brother Luo Hua had over two trillion cosmic credits. After three years of operations, despite some setbacks, it had grown to six Mixed Yuan units! In three years, he had made nearly a 200% profit. The larger the capital, the harder it usually was to make such gains.
Even many major organizations, including the investment departments of branches of the First Cosmic Bank and the Cosmic Milky Way Bank, had once invited Luo Hua.
“I’d rather earn money on my own terms. It’s so much more satisfying. Going to those departments means taking orders from superiors. That’s too much trouble. I won’t do it!” That was what his younger brother Luo Hua had told him.
…
Standing atop the Dark Cloud Shuttle above the East China Sea.
“Still not enough money,” Luo Feng thought. “The Golden Horn Beast, the Moyun Vine, and even the Mosha Clan clone all require massive investments to cultivate. And my main body isn’t any different.” Theoretically, the Golden Horn Beast should be considered Luo Feng’s main body, but subconsciously, Luo Feng still regarded his Earth-born human body as his true self.
The Golden Horn Beast was now at the Cosmic level. Simply evolving by consuming metals wasn’t too expensive yet. However, cultivating the “Heaven and Earth of the True Body” technique was like an endless abyss.
The Moyun Vine became increasingly difficult to evolve as it grew stronger. Currently, the Lian Luo fruits worked well, but as the Moyun Vine became more powerful, the financial investment required would also grow exponentially. Back then, “Huyan Bo” had spent an astronomical amount of resources to evolve his Moyun Vine to Immortal status. The cost was truly terrifying.
As for the Mosha Clan clone, he knew very little about it.
His human body on Earth had already cost a fortune in investments—Zhen Shen Weapon, Dark Cloud Shuttle, nutrient pods, and more. This was still at the Stellar King level. As his future ambitions grew, the costs would likely become even more staggering. Luo Feng had seen some of the universe’s rarest treasures at the auctions—artifacts worth thousands of Mixed Yuan units. These treasures were so valuable that Babata didn’t even bother telling Luo Feng about them anymore.
“Golden Horn Beast at Cosmic Seventh Stage! Moyun Vine at Cosmic Sixth Stage. My main body…Stellar King Ninth Stage,” Luo Feng thought. “From now on, I’ll stop cultivating my main body.”
The Golden Horn Beast required 15 years to evolve from Cosmic First to Third Stage, 20 years for each of the Fourth to Sixth Stages (a total of 60 years), and 120 years for each of the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Stages. As for breaking through from Cosmic Ninth Stage to Domain Lord, it would take 500 years! The entire Cosmic level process would take nearly a thousand years.
From 2055, when he reached Cosmic Sixth Stage, to October 2059, it had already been nearly four years.
By supplying the best metal combinations to his inner space, the efficiency reached 56 times, equivalent to 224 years! Luo Feng needed 240 years to reach Seventh and Eighth Stages. Therefore, he was only at Cosmic Seventh Stage now, still a little short of the Eighth Stage.
…
As for the Moyun Vine, it had already reached Cosmic Second Stage in the Realm Within Realm. At that time, the Moyun Vine still contained some undigested “Life Fruit” energy, and after consuming over a hundred Lian Luo fruits, it had already grown to Cosmic Sixth Stage. However, the jump from Sixth to Seventh Stage was significantly more difficult.
…
“It’s about to hatch,” Luo Feng frowned slightly.
Boom!
Suddenly, a black triangular spaceship appeared in the sky. Luo Feng stepped onto the Dark Cloud Shuttle and quickly entered the ship. Then, the spaceship accelerated, shooting into the sky, breaking through the atmosphere, leaving Earth, and heading toward Mars.
…
In a massive crater on the surface of Mars in the Solar System, the spaceship landed.
Inside the rest room of the spaceship.
Luo Feng sat cross-legged in meditation, his consciousness completely entering his inner world.
…
In his inner world, surrounded by golden mist, lay a vast golden continent.
Coiled on the land, over ten miles long, the Golden Horn Beast looked up at the sky, its dark golden eyes fixed on the oval golden egg floating above.
“It’s almost time,” the Golden Horn Beast thought, its cold eyes filled with anticipation.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The once-thin golden egg suddenly cracked, then fell from the sky, revealing a strange black crystal. This crystal had been cut into 10,081 facets, each engraved with incredibly complex golden runes. The golden runes were fully integrated into the core of the crystal—it was the core of the Mosha Clan—the Life Crystal!
“Appear!” A low voice echoed across the metallic continent.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh~~~
Black currents of energy surged from the Life Crystal, quickly condensing into a form—a naked, yellow-skinned man with short black hair appeared. It was the naked Luo Feng, identical to the real Luo Feng!
…
On the surface of Mars, amidst swirling sands.
The red-clad Luo Feng, the black-clad Luo Feng, and the colossal Golden Horn Beast stood on the ground.
“Fascinating, fascinating.”
The two Luo Fengs and the Golden Horn Beast looked at each other.
As for the true core of life—the Original Core—it could instantly appear within the main body, the Golden Horn Beast, or the Mosha Clan clone.
“Absorb!” The Golden Horn Beast vanished, leaving only the two Luo Fengs.
“Absorb!” The red-clad Luo Feng disappeared.
“Absorb!” The black-clad Luo Feng also vanished.
All three entered the inner world, leaving only a transparent crystal sphere outside. The surface of the sphere was engraved with incredibly complex golden runes, faintly emitting golden light.
Whoosh!
The black-clad Luo Feng reappeared.
“The Life Crystal is very unsafe when left alone in the outside world,” the black-clad Luo Feng thought. “As for this Mosha Clan clone… Transform!”
The black-clad Luo Feng seemed to shift like a current, quickly transforming into the towering savage ‘Ronjun,’ then into a ten-meter-long Golden Horn Beast. Then into a thick willow tree, and finally back into the black-clad Luo Feng!
“Energy life is indeed unique,” Luo Feng smiled.
The Mosha Clan was an energy lifeform without a fixed form or appearance, capable of transformation at will. Of course, if one wanted to transform into a giant thousands of feet tall, with defenses comparable to Cosmic Second Stage, the energy consumption would be enormous. So generally, transformations were kept within reasonable size limits.
“The Mosha Clan, known as the strongest assassination clan. Now I understand why!” Luo Feng sensed the Mosha Clan clone and its differences from his other bodies.
“The darlings of space, indeed.”
When he gained his third body—the Mosha Clan clone—Luo Feng naturally learned the Mosha Clan’s innate secret techniques.
Innate Secret Technique—Replication!
The Mosha Clan’s life form was completely different from humans and the Golden Horn Beast. Humans and the Golden Horn Beast were at least flesh-and-blood lifeforms. But the Mosha Clan was an “energy lifeform” without even a soul! Accurately speaking, the “Life Crystal” was both its soul and its energy source!
Therefore.
The Mosha Clan was immune to “mental attacks” and could not launch mental attacks or control objects. So the Mosha Clan… were all martial artists!
And the “Innate Secret Technique—Replication” allowed the Mosha Clan to copy the “life aura, soul aura” of their targets. They could freely change form, and once they replicated the soul aura through this innate secret technique, even Immortals couldn’t detect them unless they used mental force to probe inside. From the outside, in appearance and aura, the Mosha Clan’s disguise was undetectable.
This wasn’t just disguise.
It was replication!
Innate Secret Technique—Replication!
You couldn’t imagine that your beloved grandson had already been replaced by a Mosha Clan assassin.
This seemingly simple innate secret technique made the Mosha Clan… the most terrifying assassination clan in the universe! They could transform into any lifeform, mimic any life aura or soul aura. Of course, if the target was suspicious from the start and used mental force to probe inside, they would be exposed.
“The darlings of space.”
“How strange,” Luo Feng felt the Mosha Clan clone faintly sensing the subtle fluctuations of the surrounding space.
His human body and the Golden Horn Beast couldn’t sense it at all.
“The Absolute Space!”
Luo Feng suddenly unleashed his body technique, and the black crystal core inside him, with its 10,081 facets, began to rotate slightly. The complex golden runes on its surface faintly fluctuated, seemingly responding to the fluctuations of cosmic space.
Flash!
Suddenly, two Luo Fengs appeared on the Martian desert, then gradually… three, four, five Luo Fengs!
Flash!
Luo Feng stopped.
“So strange, so strange. The Mosha Clan clone moves so effortlessly, it’s simply… unbelievable,” Luo Feng’s face was full of shock. “I’ve only barely touched the threshold of space essence in these three years. I wouldn’t even say I’ve entered the door yet.”
“But despite my shallow understanding, when the Mosha Clan clone uses it, the speed and mystery increase. I can even sense the fluctuations of space,” Luo Feng marveled.
“Switch.”
The Mosha Clan clone vanished, and the red-clad Luo Feng appeared.
“Hmm?”
In his human form, Luo Feng surveyed his surroundings, no longer experiencing the previous mystical sensation. Everything had returned to normal. Mars remained Mars, the universe remained the universe, and the wondrous perception of cosmic spatial fluctuations had vanished.
Boom!
Luo Feng unleashed his body technique, moving mysteriously and incredibly fast. But it was only that fast, unable to twist space and create illusions.
“Feeling like the Mosha Clan clone is like a fish in water in space,” Luo Feng thought.
Humans swimming in water could never match their speed on land.
Fish jumping on land could never match their speed in water.
Same principle!
The Mosha Clan clone was naturally the darling of space essence. In cosmic space, they were like fish in water. Even with the same shallow understanding, the Mosha Clan clone’s body techniques were several levels higher.
“Amazing, amazing,” Luo Feng couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Of course, they’re called the strongest assassination clan! Energy life, flesh life, mechanical life, metal life, plant life, etc., each with countless clans. To be called the strongest assassination clan among countless clans, that’s not a joke,” Babata said. “Innate Secret Technique—Replication, although just one innate secret technique. But actually, the most amazing thing about the Mosha Clan clone is… their ability to sense space fluctuations.”
“They are naturally compatible with space essence!”
“Making their use of space-related secret techniques much more powerful.”
“At the same time, understanding space laws is much easier for them than for humans.”
“Therefore, every Mosha Clan member naturally crosses the threshold of space laws… Their body techniques are mysterious and ever-changing. They can transform into anyone, any form. Because ‘the disguise is perfect,’ ‘the attack is strong,’ ‘if the first strike fails, they escape quickly.’ The most dangerous thing is, it’s not just one member, but all members of the clan who are strong. That’s why they are called the strongest assassination clan.” Babata explained.
Luo Feng took a deep breath.
No wonder… the Mosha Clan’s skin was so expensive even when it was incomplete.
The Mosha Clan’s normal transformation didn’t show any runes on the surface. When they were killed, it was mostly because their crystal core shattered, their body disintegrated, leaving only a broken crystal core, and no skin appeared. Only in one situation could the space essence runes from the Life Crystal appear on the skin!
Those were indeed the runes containing the essence of space laws, so the skin was extremely valuable.
“But in the Genius War, I can only use the body provided by the Virtual Universe for battle. I can’t use the Mosha Clan clone,” Luo Feng thought.
“Now it’s October, less than a year until the Genius War of the 1008 Cosmic Nations. What you can do now is use the Mosha Clan clone to imitate the ‘Golden Horn Beast’ form and study the ‘Absolute Space’ secret techniques,” Babata said. The ‘Absolute Space’ secret techniques were only suitable for the Golden Horn Beast’s form.
Of course, once the space understanding was cultivated, all the clones could use it. After all, they shared the same consciousness.
“Okay,” Luo Feng nodded.
“Less than a year,” Luo Feng took a deep breath. “By the way, Babata. I should be able to use the Mosha Clan clone to retrieve the bank account left by my teacher.”
The master of the Yimo Star had divided the inheritance into three accounts.
They could be accessed only when the disciple reached Stellar King, Cosmic, or Domain Lord levels.
