Chapter 654: Domain Lord Level

Luo Feng stood before the colossal sacred stone tablet with his eyes closed, his consciousness fully immersed within his inner world.

The Inner World.

The vast metallic continent, originally spanning 900,000 kilometers in both length and width, began to voraciously absorb the endless golden mist surrounding its outer edges, as well as the golden mist high above its skies, enveloping the entire metallic landmass. However, unlike previous transformations, this time the continent did not expand—it shrank!

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The more golden mist it consumed, the smaller the metallic continent became, while the space of the inner world itself expanded further.

In merely an instant!

The diameter of the inner world had grown more than tenfold, while the once vast 900,000-kilometer metallic continent, after absorbing countless golden mists accumulated over countless years, continued to shrink until it transformed into an endless abyss encircled by golden mountains.

“The Two-World Abyss is complete!”

Boom!

The Two-World Abyss hovered within the vast expanse of the inner world. Its abyssal walls were inscribed with incredibly intricate mystical patterns, far more complex than those seen on the Blood-Net Power’s ‘Beast God’s Roaring Skull’ pattern.

Within the mountains of the Two-World Abyss, countless golden specks began to condense. These golden specks were the essence of the once 900,000-kilometer metallic continent and the endless golden mists—now condensed. At this moment, the densely packed golden specks rotated endlessly, slowly coalescing like a swirling nebula.

“Golden Horn World Stone, condense!”

Luo Feng’s consciousness was mighty, directly controlling the process.

Boom!

The countless golden specks, like a starry nebula, instantly fused into a single entity—a golden stone roughly the size of a fingertip, shaped like a pyramid. Suspended within the mountains of the Two-World Abyss, the stone caused ripples to spread through the surrounding space. Its invisible waves made the entire inner world tremble.

“Golden Horn World Stone! A Golden Horn Giant Beast can produce only one such stone in its entire life. Forged from the purest essence of the beast’s vast inner world, this stone embodies both the Metal and Spatial attributes, making it a true treasure beyond compare.” Luo Feng marveled inwardly.

The Golden Horn World Stone was the most precious treasure of the Golden Horn Giant Beast!

Because after evolving from Domain Lord to World Lord, the inner world of a Golden Horn Giant Beast would no longer be purely composed of ‘Metal Energy’—it would transform into a more balanced world with rivers, mountains, and habitable lands. Thus, that fierce, aggressive Metal Energy condensed into the Two-World Abyss.

The essence of the Two-World Abyss was embodied in the Golden Horn World Stone!

As the inner world underwent this transformation, the ‘Primordial Core’ within Luo Feng’s Earthling body also began to change dramatically.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the influence of an invisible force, the soul crystal and primal energy crystal melted into streams of liquid energy. These two streams began to merge. When the mental energy and primal energy first touched and fused with consciousness and will, the first thread of ‘World Power’ was born! The moment the World Power emerged, it resonated with a part of Luo Feng’s consciousness, allowing him to sense the essence of the boundless universe.

The Primordial Universe was the oldest, most vast, and most fertile of all universes, teeming with countless lifeforms. Even the ‘Initial Universe,’ though a separate universe outside the Primordial Universe, was but a pale shadow of it.

At the very source of the Primordial Universe,

When the first thread of World Power emerged within Luo Feng, it connected him to that distant, primordial origin.

“Ahh.”

“Is this the Origin of the Universe?”

Guided by the resonance of World Power, a fragment of Luo Feng’s consciousness instantly entered the Origin of the Universe. It was an immeasurably vast land. Luo Feng’s consciousness could only perceive this endless terrain, sensing no other beings. Each grain of soil on this infinite land seemed like a separate space, each containing infinite Cosmic Crystals.

“One grain of sand, one world?”

“One world, infinite Cosmic Crystals?”

“Is this truly the face of the Origin of the Universe?” Luo Feng was deeply shaken.

Yet the infinite terrain he could sense—spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers—was likely only a tiny fragment of the entire Origin. Even so, it was enough to leave him trembling with awe.

“Two-World Resonance!”

As Luo Feng’s consciousness truly touched the Origin of the Universe, astonishing transformations began simultaneously within his Primordial Core and inner world.

Within the inner world, only the Two-World Abyss remained.

At this moment, it was as if a channel had been opened between the inner world and the Origin of the Primordial Universe. Endless streams of cosmic origin energy—World Power—rushed into the inner world like a flood, surging in with overwhelming force. In an instant, the entire inner world was filled to the brim!

Bear in mind, the inner world had already expanded tenfold in diameter, yet it was still instantly filled.

Clearly—

Even the energy released from a single grain of sand within the Origin of the Universe, containing its Cosmic Crystals, was enough to fill Luo Feng’s inner world.

“Amazing!”

“Instantly possessing so much cosmic energy! Unfortunately, such an opportunity only comes once—when breaking through from Domain Lord to World Lord. It is the only such chance.” Luo Feng sighed inwardly, then focused his consciousness on controlling the overwhelming World Power now filling his inner world.

“Condense!”

“Central Continent, with five border continents of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.”

A vast Central Continent, about 5,000,000 kilometers in diameter, took shape. Five border continents, each about 1,000,000 kilometers in diameter, followed—some blazing with heat, others frozen in cold, some teeming with endless vegetation, others covered in metallic mountains, and one filled with endless thick earth.

“Between the six continents lies the Endless Sea.”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Natural floods surged forth, cascading across the land, filling most of the inner world’s expanse. The sea covered far more area than the land.

“Within the Central Continent lies an inner sea.”

Instantly, the center of the 5,000,000-kilometer Central Continent began to collapse. The soil vanished into nothingness, and endless oceans were born. In a flash, an inner sea approximately 900,000 kilometers in diameter formed within the heart of the Central Continent.

“At the heart of the inner sea lies the Two-World Abyss.”

Gurgle! Gurgle!

The sea roared.

The Two-World Abyss slowly rose, like a solitary island in the heart of the inner sea. At the center of this island was an endless abyss, as if leading to another world entirely.

“Let all things be born!”

Luo Feng let the inner world evolve naturally. The Central Continent, the five border continents, the inner sea, and the Endless Sea all naturally gave rise to countless plants, flowers, trees, and mountains. In mere moments, the entire inner world had become indistinguishable from a real world.

“My inner world is complete.”

Swish! Swish!

The remaining, unused cosmic origin energy rapidly transformed into Cosmic Crystals, instantly forming a mountain of Cosmic Crystals upon the continent.

The inner world had fully formed, and the World Power had naturally condensed into a Cosmic Crystal Mountain. Every newly ascended World Lord experienced such a phenomenon. However—normal World Lords could never obtain such an immense Cosmic Crystal Mountain.

Because their inner worlds were far smaller than Luo Feng’s.

“As far as I know, many World Lords’ inner worlds are only a few thousand kilometers in diameter.”

“My inner world exceeds ten million kilometers.”

The more powerful the inner world, the stronger the Primordial Core must be to support it. As the inner world evolved from 900,000 kilometers in length and width to over ten million kilometers in diameter, Luo Feng’s Primordial Core underwent a fundamental transformation. During this process, the core naturally absorbed the finest essence from the inner world—the faintest trace of energy from the Golden Horn World Stone.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Within the Primordial Core, the streams of mental energy and primal energy had fully merged, following the natural evolution of the universe, transforming into a Primordial Essence Pearl!

The Essence Pearl slowly rotated, emitting endless threads that connected it to the Primordial Core.

Thus, the Primordial Core itself was completely transformed.

From the Stellar Level to the Domain Lord Level, the Primordial Core had always been semi-transparent, its surface adorned with complex golden mystical patterns, radiating a golden glow. But upon reaching the World Lord Level… after absorbing the essence of the inner world, the Essence Pearl, and the Origin of the Universe, the core transformed into what appeared to be an ordinary Primordial Core.

Ancient and unadorned!

It emitted no light, and the golden mystical patterns had completely receded.

“My god,” Luo Feng was awestruck. “My current Primordial Core, supporting an inner world over ten million kilometers in diameter, is already far more formidable than those of many World Lord peak experts. When I reach the peak of the World Lord Level… how powerful will my Primordial Core become?”

“That’s why the Golden Horn Giant Beasts possess three innate secret techniques, inherited memories, and lifespans ten times longer than humans.”

“Yet, even so, very few ever ascend to Immortality.”

Feeling the might of his Primordial Core, Luo Feng understood the difficulty of reaching Immortality.

Even now, if Luo Feng let down his defenses and allowed experts to strike his Primordial Core, even a peak World Lord would be unable to break it. Of course, Luo Feng had no intention of offering his life’s core to anyone.

“After reaching the World Lord Level, the inner world becomes a true world. It no longer needs to consume metal. Ordinary World Lords use Cosmic Crystals to evolve their worlds. When my inner world was born and expanded, it was also through the instantaneous transformation of infinite Cosmic Crystals.”

“I have two paths.”

“The first path is to use Cosmic Crystals to expand the inner world. Even at the peak of the World Lord Level, the diameter of my inner world would only reach around thirty million kilometers.”

“The second path is to continue consuming rare metal combinations. These metals are most suitable for Golden Horn Giant Beasts. When consumed by the Two-World Abyss, the purest and most precious traces of Metal Energy will merge into the Golden Horn World Stone, while the rest will directly drive the evolution of the inner world. As the Golden Horn World Stone transforms, its refined essence will further strengthen the Primordial Core, enabling it to support an even greater inner world. At the peak of the World Lord Level, the diameter of the inner world could surpass ninety million kilometers.”

Luo Feng understood clearly.

The first path was relatively easier, and many Golden Horn Giant Beasts would choose it.

The second path was extremely difficult. Because the constraints were far greater.

But the rewards were immense: a larger inner world, greater power, and a stronger divine kingdom in the future. And the Golden Horn World Stone, continuously absorbing the finest essences, would become the ultimate Golden Horn World Stone.
