“At the same time, send the 13th squad, who are nearest to the Milky Way, to investigate the home world of No.9—the Earth in the Milky Way.” Ordered the black-uniformed, bald man with three eyes.
“Yes, sir!”
The silver-uniformed subordinate respectfully replied.
Inside the quiet underground base, peace was restored once more. Members of this mysterious organization were usually very silent and rarely spoke.
…
As Luo Feng traveled with his guard unit aboard the Yimo Star, moving at fifty times the speed of light through the dark universe, a seemingly ordinary C-class black disc-shaped spacecraft had already arrived in a region of the dark universe corresponding to the Milky Way, slowly flying through this area.
“Captain, this space has been concealed by powerful immortal cultivators using secret spatial techniques. We cannot proceed to Earth of the Milky Way.” The green-uniformed, muscular ape man respectfully reported.
A shrill voice suddenly spoke up—
“The situation matches the collected data. We indeed cannot directly reach Earth. Either we travel through a wormhole, which would take nearly three years to reach Earth, or we request the organization to send a powerful immortal cultivator to directly break through this spatial technique.” Another green-uniformed tall, thin woman respectfully added.
A line of eight green-uniformed men and women stood before them, while in front of them stood an old man in silver uniform.
“Hmm.”
The silver-uniformed old man nodded. “The first option, traveling through a wormhole and taking three years in the original universe, is intolerable for the organization. To break through the spatial technique, we must rely on a powerful immortal cultivator. Any immortal cultivator hiding within the territory of the human 1008 Universe Nation is an invaluable resource for the organization. I will report this matter to the team leader.”
…
In the dark universe, the blood-red triangular spacecraft was advancing at an incredible speed. Since the distance from Qianyu Star to Earth of the Milky Way was nearly hundreds of millions of light-years, even traveling at fifty times the speed of light through the dark universe would take about two months. All the guards silently rested in their cabins.
Vines covered the metal walls of the main rest chamber, densely packed and swaying with lush green leaves, transforming the spacious cabin into a small forest.
Suddenly, the lid of the nutrient chamber automatically opened.
Swish~ Swish~
A naked body rose from the nutrient liquid.
“Haha, after more than a month, I’ve finally reached the peak of Domain Lord, 9th stage.” Luo Feng smiled, stepping out of the nutrient chamber, standing naked in the rest chamber. He looked at the vines covering the entire room and suddenly his eyes lit up. He immediately counted 216 main vines among the dense tangle.
“Success? Has the Moyun Vine fully evolved?” Luo Feng looked at the Moyun Vine in delight.
Swish!
Countless leaves rushed toward him from all around, as if an extremely happy child were hugging its parents, completely enveloping Luo Feng. Then, they quickly shrank and fused into his body. Soon, the Moyun Vine, which had previously filled the entire super-sized rest chamber with a diameter of tens of meters, transformed into a close-fitting emerald battle suit.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.
The color of the Moyun Battle Suit kept changing—sometimes silver-white, sometimes emerald green, sometimes fiery red, sometimes pure black… At the same time, its consciousness conveyed waves of joy and excitement. Leaves sprouted from the battle suit, joyfully swaying.
“In the past, Moyun could also change colors, but not this smoothly. Indeed, the Domain Lord stage is the ultimate peak of human body evolution.” Luo Feng thought admiringly.
From the Stellar Stage to the Domain Lord, human evolution was a leap in genetic transformation.
From Domain Lord to Immortal, it was mainly the evolution of the soul.
Therefore, the Domain Lord stage was already the ultimate peak of human physical evolution. Of course, other life forms differed from humans.
“An evolved Domain Lord-level Moyun Vine with 216 main vines is far more powerful than an ordinary Moyun Vine.” Luo Feng was delighted.
The later the stage, the greater the gap between the ordinary and the excellent would become.
At the Stellar Stage, even among the geniuses of the universe, not many could grasp the laws of the universe, and the strength difference wasn’t that significant. At this stage, the power gap between geniuses and ordinary people wasn’t huge. However, by the time they reached the Cosmic Stage… Even among Cosmic Stage 9 cultivators, those who could be called geniuses mostly had already grasped parts of the cosmic laws.
At this point, the power gap began to widen!
At the Domain Lord 9 stage!
Factors such as “law comprehension,” “inner world,” “self-created secret techniques,” and “special encounters” caused a regular Domain Lord and a genius Domain Lord to have a massive difference in strength. In fact, some super Domain Lords in history could even kill Marquis-level immortal cultivators while still at the Domain Lord stage…
This shows how vast the gap could be between an excellent and an average Domain Lord 9 cultivator.
The later the stage, the more severe the polarization became!
The same principle applied to the Golden-Horned Giant Beast and the Moyun Vine.
Initially, at the Stellar Stage, the power difference between the Golden-Horned Giant Beast and the Moyun Vine within their respective clans wasn’t very noticeable. However, as their strength increased, the superior ones became increasingly impressive. At the Domain Lord stage… the most perfect Moyun Vine could evolve 360 main vines, while the weakest had only 36 main vines, with a power difference exceeding tenfold.
“Moyun, the more perfect and superior your evolution, the harder it will be to break through to become an immortal cultivator.” Luo Feng gently stroked a vine leaf sprouting from his shoulder, softly saying, “Back then, my teacher cultivated a Domain Lord-level Moyun Vine with only 108 main vines, but you have 216. However, I will definitely help you evolve into an immortal cultivator.”
The leaf on his shoulder immediately began to dance joyfully.
“You’ve already reached the Domain Lord stage. Now, you need to reach the peak of Domain Lord 9 as soon as possible.” Luo Feng let go of the leaf. It gently swayed up and down before swiftly retracting into the Moyun Battle Suit and disappearing.
“It’s already very difficult for the Moyun Vine to break through to immortality, but for the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, breaking through to immortality is even harder.” Luo Feng sat cross-legged in the rest chamber, pondering.
The bloodline inheritance memory was vast and complex, filled with warnings and examples of breaking through to immortality. Throughout history, countless Golden-Horned Giant Beasts had been stuck at the Domain Lord peak. Ninety-nine percent of them couldn’t break through. Many Golden-Horned Giant Beasts had even reached power levels rivaling immortals while at the Domain Lord 9 stage, yet they remained stuck until death.
This was the so-called fairness of the universe’s rules.
The stronger the race, the more exponentially difficult it was to become an immortal cultivator!
Compared to the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, humans had an easier time becoming immortals—thousands or even millions of times easier. Of course, humans couldn’t compare with the Golden-Horned Giant Beasts in terms of the resources available during their development.
…
“Ever since leaving the Primordial Secret Realm, I haven’t tried to fuse with the Blood-Network Crystals. Let’s give it a try.” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up as he sat cross-legged.
…
Within his inner world.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast, resembling black mountains stretching endlessly, rumbled as it stood up. Since completing the inheritance of the Demon Sound Divine General, more than ten years had passed. Luo Feng had originally thought that, according to the usual pattern, fusing the 100th Blood-Network Crystal would take only a few years. However, the reality turned out to be unexpected.
Fusing the 100th Blood-Network Crystal was extremely difficult!
Especially the malevolent aura—due to the accumulation of 100 Blood-Network Crystals, the malevolence had undergone a qualitative change. Every time Luo Feng attempted, he failed.
“Chi!”
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s eyes, as large as two lakes, stared at its right hoof. A wound had been slashed open on the hoof, and blood gushed out like a spring, floating the Blood-Network Crystal atop it.
“Boom!” The endless malevolent auras from the previously fused hundred Blood-Network Crystals stacked and merged, forming an incredibly terrifying surge of willpower. It was like a raging tidal wave, each successive strike stronger than the last, continuously layering and crashing. Each prior impact served as the foundation for the next, endlessly accumulating—
Luo Feng’s willpower was refined and condensed into a perfect unity.
“This time is much better than last.”
“I feel like I can hold on.”
“Hold on!”
“I must hold on!” In a moment, Luo Feng fell into a dazed state, almost collapsing into unconsciousness, but his unwavering belief kept him going.
Only when the malevolent impact surpassed a certain threshold would Luo Feng be utterly shattered.
Unknown how long had passed…
The endless malevolent surge swiftly retreated like an ebbing tide, leaving behind a profound tranquility. Luo Feng’s willpower, which had nearly crumbled into unconsciousness, instantly sharpened back into clarity.
“Damn it, I actually withstood that malevolent impact!” A wave of ecstasy surged through Luo Feng’s heart.
Then—
An indescribably excruciating pain instantly surged through the Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s body, transmitting to Luo Feng’s three bodies and consciousness.
“Ah!” In the cabin, the Earthling main body immediately dropped to his knees on the metal floor, his fingers clawing desperately at the metal, leaving only white scratches. His teeth clenched tightly, blood trickling from his mouth.
In the inner world,
The Mosha Clan clone and the Golden-Horned Giant Beast began to go mad with pain, especially the “Golden-Horned Giant Beast,” the main body fusing the Blood-Network Crystal. It slammed into the metal mountains of its inner world, tore at the ground with its claws, roared into the sky, soared upward with a scream, then dove down to crash into the earth.
Pain!
It radiated to the point where consciousness nearly collapsed.
“Hurry up and pass through!”
“Just do it!” Luo Feng and the Mosha Clan clone screamed.
“Aowww~~”
“Wu!!!”
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast roared in pain repeatedly.
Suddenly—
The massive body of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast fell heavily to the ground like a collapsing mountain, lying exhausted on the earth. This was the most painful fusion of Blood-Network Crystals ever, far more agonizing than fusing the 99th crystal. The pain nearly drove Luo Feng to the brink of collapse.
“Finally succeeded.”
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast rumbled as it stood up, activating the immense Blood-Network power hidden in its right hoof. Instantly, the right hoof underwent rapid transformation. The basic cellular composition of bones, muscles, and scales changed swiftly. This transformation caused the scales on the surface of the right hoof to become incredibly dense, slightly thicker, and turned into a dazzling golden hue!
The entire right hoof turned into pure gold!
Moreover, densely packed crimson secret patterns covered the hoof. The crimson color of the secret patterns blended perfectly with the golden scales, creating a striking mixture of blood-red and golden hues. If one looked closely at the claws and the secret patterns wrapped around the hoof, they formed the image of a roaring beast god’s head.
The complete image of the roaring beast god’s head!
“Wu…” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast lightly stepped with its blood-golden right hoof, and the entire ground rumbled and cracked.
“Wow… wow… so terrifying.”
The Mosha Clan clone and the Golden-Horned Giant Beast itself stared at the transformed blood-golden right hoof.
