In the Blood-Net World back then, the Mosha Clan’s clone roamed freely using Mech Clan spacecraft, plundering nearly ten thousand Blood-Net Crystals.
Although the genetic structure of the Golden-Horned Colossus far surpassed that of the Beast Qiniu, after successfully fusing the 97th Blood-Net Crystal, Luo Feng could no longer withstand the terrifying malevolent aura generated by further fusions. Thus, he had no choice but to temporarily halt the process, awaiting future breakthroughs.
“The inheritance of the Demon-Sound Divine General continuously pushes my limits during cultivation, providing immense training for my willpower.”
“And this inheritance technique is specifically designed to transform the soul, enhancing my control over it by dozens of times,” Luo Feng mused inwardly. “Combined with these twelve years, I’ve never ceased improving my heart cultivation.”
Heart cultivation differs entirely from other forms of training.
Understanding laws and researching techniques require enormous mental effort.
However, heart cultivation doesn’t consume much energy—it’s essentially a state of mind.
For instance, during battle, one must adjust their mindset properly; otherwise, their performance might falter, allowing them to utilize only seventy or eighty percent of their strength.
Individuals like Thunder God and Hong, who have reached extremely high levels in heart cultivation, remain unaffected even when facing the most complex situations. They can even surpass their usual capabilities during battle! While others might exceed their limits due to special circumstances, Hong can maintain two hundred percent of his power at all times!
This is the extreme power unleashed under an extraordinarily composed state of mind.
Of course—
Hong’s heart cultivation rivals the sages of ancient China, revered as saints throughout history! Even Thunder God lags behind Hong by an entire level. As for Luo Feng… he still trails Thunder God by a notch.
Fortunately, guided by masters like Hong and Thunder God, Luo Feng continues to progress in heart cultivation.
Heart cultivation bears little relation to the duration of training.
Some warriors aspiring to become immortal deities might require at least tens of thousands of years, with some needing millions!
Yet in heart cultivation, one can reach supreme heights within mere decades. After all, the ancients of ancient China rarely lived beyond a hundred years.
Twelve years!
These twelve years have brought Luo Feng significant progress. Unfortunately, regarding the three heart cultivation stages, he remains only at the peak of the first stage. However, his sheer willpower has already become formidable.
…
Luo Feng stood on the silent plaza.
Within his inner world.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast, as vast as continuous mountain ranges, stared with its dark golden eyes—each as large as two massive lakes—at the single Blood-Net Crystal resting on the scales of its right claw.
“The 99th!”
The right claw slightly clenched, its sharp talons piercing into the palm, tearing the scales, while the tiny Blood-Net Crystal, controlled by the Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s mental force, touched the wound on the scale. Upon contact, an invisible force instantly surged into the beast’s body.
“Roar~~”
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast raised its head, letting out a painful and furious roar.
This was a clash between malevolent aura and willpower!
An endless tide of malevolent aura surged like countless galloping war chariots, crushing forward. Luo Feng’s willpower, refined like a blade, resisted each impact. This purely spiritual assault rendered even the mightiest physical strength utterly useless.
“I will win!”
“I must win! This malevolent aura cannot break me, cannot!!!” Luo Feng’s willpower roared.
Persisting through wave after wave…
Suddenly, the once overwhelming malevolent aura receded like a retreating tide. Simultaneously, the Blood-Net Crystal resting on the Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s right claw began to emit a steady stream of Blood-Net Power, which gradually merged into the right claw, once again transforming the beast’s terrifying right claw.
Pain surged again!
The agony of fusing the 99th Blood-Net Crystal was unimaginable, causing the Golden-Horned Giant Beast to violently slam into the ground, tearing through mountains. Yet, no matter how intense the pain, it had to be endured.
Finally, the pain subsided.
The 99th Blood-Net Crystal had fully merged into the right hoof claw.
“Roar~~~” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast raised its head in exhilarated triumph, its roar echoing endlessly through the inner world.
Lifting its right hoof slightly, it activated the dormant Blood-Net Power within, causing the entire right hoof to rapidly transform. From the deepest cellular level, muscles, scales, and bones underwent metamorphosis, turning into a pale golden hoof, covered densely with intricate blood-red runes.
The runes spread across the entire right hoof, forming a distinct image—a beast’s head roaring.
“How strange this image is!”
Previously, after successfully fusing the 98th Blood-Net Crystal, the blood-red runes on the right hoof hadn’t revealed this ‘roaring beast head’ pattern. However, fusing the 99th crystal added hundreds of new runes, organizing the previously scattered patterns into a much more complete form.
The runes formed a complete beast head, closely resembling the beast head on the Divine Beast Statue.
The only difference was—
It lacked the single horn on the Divine Beast Statue. Because of this missing horn, the blood-red rune pattern felt incomplete to Luo Feng.
“I suppose it will become complete after fusing the 100th Blood-Net Crystal.”
“Alright, let’s try again and see if I can fuse the 100th Blood-Net Crystal.” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast took another Blood-Net Crystal and began attempting to fuse it once more…
…
On the plaza.
Luo Feng stood there, while the rocky ground beside him was splattered with blood—his human form had endured the agony of fusing the 99th Blood-Net Crystal.
“Phew!”
“Fusing the 100th Blood-Net Crystal failed.” Luo Feng wiped sweat from his forehead. “Fusing the 100th Blood-Net Crystal is indeed difficult. I probably need a few more years to strengthen my willpower before I can succeed.”
Successfully fusing the 99th but failing with the 100th didn’t dampen Luo Feng’s excitement.
Because the blood-red rune pattern that emerged on the right hoof was the ‘roaring beast head’ image, nearly identical to the head of the Divine Beast Statue, except for the missing horn.
“The Blood-Net Crystals are indeed connected to the Divine Beast from Blood-Net World legends,” Luo Feng mused inwardly. “Whether it’s Blood Warriors, Black Warriors, or the ‘Blood-Net Power’ wielded by the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, all are closely related to the Divine Beast.”
“Right.”
“Moreover, I suspect that once I successfully fuse the 100th Blood-Net Crystal, forming the missing horn and completing the rune pattern… there might be a major surprise.” Luo Feng felt delighted, scanning the empty plaza. No other life forms were present, but beneath the inheritance palace lay a world of countless illusions.
An endless sea of illusion beasts, including numerous immortal-level beasts.
“It’s time to go back!”
Luo Feng’s body transformed.
Whoosh!
Switching to his Mosha Clan clone, the clone instantly transformed into a cute, plump polar bear. The adorable polar bear glanced around, then suddenly lunged forward.
Whoosh!
The polar bear shot through the white light curtain, immediately spotting the countless illusion beasts in the endless abyss below. With a splash, it landed on the ice, clumsily getting up. Around it, countless similarly foolish illusion beasts paid little attention to the polar bear.
“Hmm?” The polar bear looked up at the 32 floating palaces in the sky. “Huh? All 32 palaces have white shields?”
At that moment, the white shield surrounding the palace where Luo Feng had received the inheritance began to slowly dissipate.
“It seems that the other 31 palaces each have a life form undergoing inheritance,” the polar bear observed. “Well, I’ve already completed my inheritance and can’t receive more. Alright, time to get out quickly!”
The polar bear surveyed the surroundings.
The boundless, frigid abyss stretched endlessly in every direction, teeming with densely packed illusion beasts, an unfathomable number.
“I… how do I get out?” The polar bear Luo Feng was momentarily stunned.
“Go back the way I came?”
Originally, he had been kicked into a deep hole by Moluo, falling into this abyss. But flying back through the hole?
“That area is guarded by several colossal ‘immortal-level’ illusion beasts. Each immortal-level beast controls numerous deep holes, and their casual use of devouring power is terrifying enough. I’d better not provoke them,” Luo Feng recalled.
The abyss below, filled with countless deep holes, was home to immortal-level illusion beasts.
When Luo Feng transformed into the polar bear, he hadn’t seen any other illusion beasts flying into the deep holes.
“If no other illusion beasts fly into the holes, I shouldn’t either.” Luo Feng thought inwardly.
…
Immediately, the polar bear began wandering through the vast abyss, but after three days, it still hadn’t found a way out, causing it to grow anxious.
“I’ll just keep walking in one direction!”
“I refuse to believe I won’t reach the end!”
The polar bear started moving in a single direction, sometimes sprinting millions of kilometers, sometimes leisurely waddling with its large butt. Gradually, as it walked further, the number of illusion beasts within its field of vision decreased.
“When will I ever escape this cursed place?”
The polar bear Luo Feng muttered, continuing forward. The number of illusion beasts within its sight dwindled, sometimes taking a while before spotting another.
“Roar!”
A powerful demonic sound swept past, causing the polar bear Luo Feng to shudder slightly.
Although it was a clone of the Mosha Clan, the polar bear’s body contained Luo Feng’s ‘core,’ within which his soul lay hidden, making it naturally susceptible to the demonic sound’s influence.
“This demonic sound can affect experts at the early King-level.”
“Demonic sound?”
The polar bear suddenly stopped, its eyes widening with human-like emotion. “There’s actually demonic sound!!!”
Having wandered this endless abyss for so long without ever encountering demonic sound before.
“Damn it!”
“I finally encountered demonic sound.”
The polar bear Luo Feng was ecstatic, nearly moved to tears.
“Finding demonic sound here means I must be nearing the edge of this abyss.” The polar bear immediately transformed into a blur, sprinting forward. After running tens of thousands of kilometers, it finally spotted the rocky, icy mountain walls with numerous cave-like passages.
“How familiar these deep, dark caves are! How pleasant they are to see!”
The polar bear excitedly waved its large paws and darted into one of the deep caves.
