“The Blood-Net World is filled with mighty warriors, even Immortals exist here,” Luo Feng gazed at the approaching Blood-Net World, “I must be cautious and never reveal my identity!”
“But it’s also strange!”
“With the Virtual Universe Company’s power, sweeping through the entire Blood-Net World would be effortless. They clearly have the ability to control it easily, yet they prefer to set up the ‘Celestial Erosion Palace’ in space to monitor rather than rule the Blood-Net World.” Luo Feng pondered this mystery, as it was unlike the style of a major cosmic power.
“It’s not my place to question anyway.” Luo Feng shook his head.
…
Three hours later.
The Mech Race spaceship, disguised as a meteorite fragment, finally pierced through the outermost cloud layer of the Blood-Net World.
“I can’t go any further!” At Luo Feng’s mental command, he flew out of the spaceship’s hatch and immediately had Babata store the Mech Race spaceship into his storage space.
“The Blood-Net World has eighteen layers of clouds above it.” Luo Feng recalled the general introduction he had read in his cultivation mission details. The sky of the Blood-Net World had eighteen layers of clouds, with increasing pressure the higher one went. Only those at the Cosmic level could pass through these eighteen layers unaided.
However, the indigenous people of the Blood-Net World only dared to fly up to the 18th layer and no further.
They knew that the ‘Extraterrestrial Clans’ would kill any native who flew out of the Blood-Net World. No one who had ever flown beyond the eighteenth cloud layer had ever returned alive to the ground.
“There’s no need to worry in space.”
“But within these clouds, I might run into the natives of the Blood-Net World.” Luo Feng, wearing a standard and unremarkable Blood-Net World warrior outfit—black battle armor and boots, with a battle blade and shield on his back—plummeted rapidly from the 18th cloud layer, following the terrifying gravitational pull downward.
“The gravity is immense.”
“With such strong gravity, only those at the Stellar level can fly in the sky.” Luo Feng calculated in his mind, “The magnetic field gravity generated by those at the Planetary level is insufficient to counteract such strong gravitational force.”
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Like a meteor from the heavens, Luo Feng plummeted rapidly from the eighteenth cloud layer downward, accelerating as he fell. Eventually, under Luo Feng’s control, he maintained a relatively normal speed as he continued his rapid descent. After about fifteen minutes of falling, he finally broke through the lowest first cloud layer.
The scenery of the Blood-Net World finally appeared before his eyes.
“Wow.” Luo Feng couldn’t help but exclaim in awe. Below was an endless expanse of vast mountains and forests. By Luo Feng’s estimation, this ancient forest spanned at least ten thousand kilometers. On the distant outskirts of the forest, faint silhouettes could be seen—tiny outlines of cities.
…
An ancient mountainous forest welcomed a visitor from the stars.
As the black figure descended into the mountains and forests, the shockwave from his body directly shattered the surrounding branches with a crackling sound. His speed sharply decreased, and he gently landed on the ground, his boots crunching on the decaying leaves.
“The gravity is terrifyingly strong. The ordinary people living in the Blood-Net World must be close to Planetary level strength to survive under such gravity,” Luo Feng stood there, his mind rapidly calculating, “The air here is produced under the nurturing power of the cosmic essence, and it has an astonishing effect on strengthening the body.”
“No wonder the Blood-Net World has so many powerful warriors.”
“Living in a cosmic secret realm naturally makes their bodies strong and makes cultivation easier. However… precisely because they live in a cosmic secret realm, it is destined that even if they become Immortals, they cannot leave the secret realm to explore the vast universe unless they join the Virtual Universe Company.” Luo Feng mused.
“Still, the smell of decay and stench in this ancient forest is truly unbearable.”
Just then…
About two thousand meters away from Luo Feng, on a thick, twisted tree that would take more than twenty people to encircle, coiled a bizarre creature with a bright green snake body and a human face. The face had no nose, only eyes and a mouth. She was staring through the tangled gaps between the branches, watching the figure over two thousand meters away.
“Hisss!!!” A shrill sound, like a shockwave, rang in Luo Feng’s ears. At the same time, a creature with a bright green snake body and a human face, over sixty meters long, moved in a blur of light and arrived beside Luo Feng in an instant. The human face opened its mouth wide, expanding to a diameter of three or four meters, forming a black hole that directly lunged to swallow Luo Feng.
Luo Feng turned his head, his eyes like blades, staring at the ferocious snake-bodied, human-faced monster.
This monster was as tall as a twenty-story building; compared to it, Luo Feng was like a tiny speck. Yet, as Luo Feng looked at it now, a trace of fear appeared on the monster’s face.
“Hmph!” Luo Feng let out a cold snort.
Boom!
The monster instantly became powerless mid-air, continuing only by inertia as it crashed against the trunk and branches of a nearby thick tree before heavily landing on the ground. Its massive snake body fell to the earth, and from its human face, dark green blood flowed from its eyes, and it lay motionless.
“This is what the natives of the Blood-Net World call a ‘wild beast’? This is merely a wild beast at the fifth or sixth stage of the Stellar level.” Luo Feng mused, “How dare it provoke me?” Just now, Luo Feng had used only his mental pressure, instantly overwhelming the beast’s mind and turning it into a mess.
Luo Feng’s consciousness was extremely strong, at the peak of Domain Lord level.
Consciousness pressure usually becomes apparent only when there’s a significant disparity in strength. If used against someone at the Cosmic level, it might only make them feel uncomfortable. But used against someone two levels lower, at the Stellar level… a single glance could cause them to collapse completely.
“A random wild beast that appears here is already at the sixth or seventh stage of the Stellar level. Living within a cosmic secret realm… truly is a place of unique advantages.” Luo Feng then looked toward the distance, “I must first leave this forest and head to the nearest city. Only by entering a city can I more quickly obtain Blood-Net Crystals.”
Blood-Net Crystals were a treasure unique to the Blood-Net World.
Swoosh!
Luo Feng left a string of afterimages at the spot and instantly vanished into the distance.
…
At the edge of this forest, a group was advancing.
“Master, this is your first time coming to the wild beast forest. Don’t be careless. Just stay near the outskirts, have a look around, and kill some outer wild beasts to practice.” In the group, a man about 1.8 meters tall, with an extremely muscular build, especially his bare arms, which were as thick as an adult’s thigh on Earth. His face was covered with beard like knife pricks, and his brown eyes were like solid beams of light, speaking in a local dialect.
“Uncle Lei, with you here, what is there to worry about?” In the group, a boy wearing silver battle armor, with a purple secret pattern on his forehead, said cheerfully.
The boy casually held a black powerful bow in one hand and had a quiver of arrows on his back.
The burly and powerful man couldn’t help but smile but suddenly sniffed the air, his expression slightly changed, and he whispered, “Everyone, be careful. We should be entering the territory of the ‘Manggu Beast.'”
“Manggu Beast?”
The other guards in the group looked slightly serious but still relaxed. Facing any kind of wild beast, one could never be too careful… this was a saying long circulated in the Blood-Net World. However, the Manggu Beast was not a particularly formidable wild beast. The guards knew very well that as long as they were cautious, killing a Manggu Beast would be easy for their group.
“Manggu Beast? Leave it to me.” The boy was very excited.
“Master!” Uncle Lei frowned.
“No problem.” The boy had already taken an arrow from the quiver on his back, placed it on the black powerful bow, and was ready to draw the bow and shoot at any moment.
The group advanced cautiously.
Moments later…
When the group pushed aside the plant branches and continued forward, they caught sight of a lean young man in black battle armor, with a blade and shield on his back, sitting by the lakeside, holding a piece of roasted meat in his hand, eating leisurely. At that moment, a gray giant phantom directly shot over from afar, causing the entire group to jump in alarm.
The lean young man sitting by the lakeside seemed to sense something and turned his head, looking foolishly at the gray giant phantom.
“What an idiot!”
Seeing this scene, many of the guards in this small team thought that this foolish young man who had wandered into the wild beast forest must be inexperienced. Otherwise, how could he foolishly look at the approaching Manggu Beast? A real warrior should immediately put himself in a favorable position.
At the very least, he shouldn’t be sitting there!
“The Manggu Beast is an aerial-level Manggu Beast.” Uncle Lei immediately transmitted his voice.
“Whoosh!”
A black light instantly streaked across the sky, directly hitting the gray phantom, causing it to cry out in pain with a “Gu!” sound. Then it quickly twisted its body and landed. It turned out to be a huge, furry creature, but it had only one claw, which was as big as its entire body. Now, an arrow was stuck in its body, and red blood was flowing from its fur.
Swoosh! As soon as it landed, it let out a “Gu Gu” screech, angrily charging toward the small team.
“Whoosh!” The boy in silver armor looked serious, the purple secret pattern on his forehead faintly glowing. His hands moved like shadows, quickly drawing another arrow and shooting again. But this time, the prepared Manggu Beast twisted its body mid-air, and with a swipe of its sharp, chillingly large claw, it knocked the black light of the arrow away.
“Ha!” The burly man drew the two axes at his waist, his arms bulking up even more.
Boom!
In mid-air, a curved axe blade appeared, slicing through the Manggu Beast’s body. Then the curved axe blade vanished, and the burly man had already reached dozens of meters behind the Manggu Beast.
Crack! The Manggu Beast’s body fell directly from mid-air, splitting into two halves, with blood and internal organs spilling onto the ground.
“Uncle Lei is amazing, so amazing.” The boy in silver armor clapped his hands excitedly.
“In the future, don’t be careless. The Manggu Beast has two deadly moves: one is its claw, and the other is its poison gas. This Manggu Beast has already reached the aerial level. If it gets close enough to release its poison gas, it will be a big problem.” The burly man lectured while ordering the other guards, “Collect the materials from the wild beast.”
“Yes.” The other guards immediately smiled and went to gather the materials.
The boy in silver armor walked toward the young man in black battle armor in the distance, smiling and greeting him with an air of seniority: “Brother, where are you from?” At this moment, the boy in silver armor especially felt the joy of rescuing someone. In his view, if it weren’t for his arrow, this young man in black battle armor would probably have died.
“Thank you.” Luo Feng looked at the boy in silver armor and nodded slightly.
The wild beast just now was only at the first or second stage of the Stellar level. Luo Feng had already sensed the beast’s sneak attack and was about to kill it with a single glance… who would have thought this ‘kind-hearted’ boy in silver armor would come to his rescue.
Still…
The people of the Blood-Net World, although they revered power, still had such simple-hearted youths. Looking at the boy in silver armor who was slightly excited, Luo Feng began to feel a bit of anticipation for the Blood-Net World.
