Luo Feng’s ancestral mansion. As soon as Luo Feng returned home with Dylan and others, he immediately secluded himself for cultivation, issuing orders that no one was allowed to disturb him unless it was extremely urgent.
Inside the dimmed meditation chamber, fluorescent lights reflected cold glimmers off the metallic floor.
Luo Feng sat cross-legged on the floor, spine straight, eyes closed, his consciousness fully immersed within the Body Refinement World, inside the body of the Gold-Horned Giant Beast.
…
Inside the Body Refinement World.
On a vast grassland at the heart of the central continent, a colossal black Gold-Horned Giant Beast stood on four hooves. Its torso alone exceeded six hundred kilometers in length. Standing upright, its height from hooves to spine surpassed four hundred kilometers. Its pair of scaled wings, once unfurled, could cover over a thousand kilometers.
Such a Gold-Horned Giant Beast, even if standing on Earth’s surface, its back would already reach outer space!
Four hundred kilometers high—if considering the height from hooves to head, it would be even greater.
Earth’s highest mountain peak was merely over eight thousand meters in elevation, just altitude. Compared to that, even a single horn on the Gold-Horned Giant Beast’s forehead would dwarf Earth’s highest mountain. As for body length, including its scaled tail, also exceeding six hundred kilometers…
If the Gold-Horned Giant Beast rolled over a few times on the Asian continent, the entire continent would be flattened—possibly even submerged.
This!
This was a fully matured Cosmic Giant Beast—an Emperor-Level Six Gold-Horned Giant Beast. Now, Luo Feng’s Body Refinement World already exceeded sixty million kilometers in diameter. What an immense world it was.
When a Cosmic Giant Beast reached the Emperor Level, normal evolution from Stage One to Stage Three required 1500 years.
Stage Three to Stage Six required 6000 years.
Stage Six to Stage Nine required 36,000 years.
Because Luo Feng had prepared the optimal metal combination, his efficiency improved fiftyfold. Originally needing 7500 years to reach Emperor Level Six, he now needed only 150 years. Clearly, Luo Feng had spent more than enough time in the Lasua World. Therefore, both the Gold-Horned Giant Beast and the Mosha Clan clone had reached Emperor Level Six.
Improvement had been rapid in the early stages; however, progression to Levels Seven, Eight, and Nine would slow down significantly. Even with a fiftyfold increase in efficiency, each level would still require 240 years!
“Though I’m only at Emperor Level Six, my soul perception matches that of an ordinary human Emperor Level Eight or Nine. With my exceptional mastery over willpower, I can stand toe-to-toe with any peak human Emperor-Level powerhouse,” Luo Feng reflected silently. “Not to mention, my mental amplification factor surpasses 3200!”
“Using the ‘Ten Thousand Hearts Soul Control Secret Art,’ even peak human Emperors cannot match me.”
“This time, I will definitely succeed.”
“I will turn this Zerg Queen into my soul servant.”
In midair, the Black-Clothed Luo Feng hovered beside the Gold-Horned Giant Beast, as large as a small planet, gazing at the spherical Zerg Hive with a diameter just over 800 meters. Covered in pits oozing toxic liquid and emitting poisonous gases, the surrounding grasslands decayed, and the ground corroded and caved in.
…
“Begin!” The Black-Clothed Mosha Luo Feng descended directly, sitting cross-legged on the grass motionless, his consciousness fully entering the Gold-Horned Giant Beast’s body.
At this moment!
The Earth Luo Feng, the Mosha Clan clone, all transferred their consciousness into the Gold-Horned Giant Beast clone, granting it the strongest and most complete power.
“Chi chi~~~”
With powerful hooves, the Gold-Horned Giant Beast looked down at the Zerg Hive, simultaneously manipulating a thread of world force to begin infiltrating it. Upon penetration, it clearly detected the hive’s interior resembled a ‘beehive’—littered with densely packed holes, likely where countless Zerg warriors were bred.
At the very core of the Zerg Hive, there was a vast hollow area approximately a hundred meters in diameter.
Inside this hollow, a lifeform slept.
Her entire body was pale and translucent, as if sculpted from crystal—delicate and fragile. She stood about twelve meters tall, with a pair of butterfly-like wings. The wings wrapped around her slender frame like a thin veil. Her shapely figure was breathtaking, a marvel of nature itself. Even in slumber, her brows slightly furrowed, evoking sympathy.
This was the Zerg Queen!
The genuine Zerg species was composed of such Queens, a lineage dreaded throughout the cosmos, ranking among the mightiest races in the universe. Despite humanity’s multitudes of formidable warriors, the two sides remained locked in an eternal stalemate.
(Note: The translation maintains the fantasy tone by using elevated diction like “genuine species,” “dreaded throughout the cosmos,” and “mightiest races,” while preserving the original contrast between the Zerg’s supremacy and humanity’s numerical strength. The phrase “locked in an eternal stalemate” adds a mythic resonance to the balance of power.)
“The Zerg Queen—her proportions are absolutely perfect. Even in sleep, her natural allure is beyond belief,” the world force scanned over the exquisite, fragile body of the Zerg Queen before directly penetrating her form, beginning to locate her soul within.
The world force turned intangible, seeping into the Zerg Queen’s body. The moment it entered, Luo Feng was stunned.
Inside the Zerg Queen’s body was crystalline and transparent, seemingly composed of countless energy beams. Her body contained countless channels, and within them, precisely ten thousand glowing orbs. These ten thousand orbs functioned similarly to a normal Emperor’s soul—the Origin Pearl. However, due to entirely different biological structures, the Zerg Queen possessed ten thousand soul sources.
Moreover, these ten thousand orbs were interconnected by countless energy beams, forming a mysterious and unique network.
An invisible seductive force spread outward.
“What an amazing physical structure! It feels similar to the unnamed scripture I received from the black metal plate—wherein I constructed a cosmic-network-like structure inside my body during cultivation.” Luo Feng marveled, though the differences were clear. That scripture mimicked cosmic operations, while this was an entirely different direction.
This was a unique lifeform born from cosmic evolution, with a peculiar structure.
“To control her, I must control all the soul sources. No wonder my Master couldn’t control her back then. However, my Master’s soul cultivation was also extremely profound, at least keeping the Zerg Queen in eternal slumber.”
“Alright, begin!”
…
The Golden-Horned Colossus peered down upon the Swarm’s Nest as the cosmic energies within its Forged World swiftly enacted the third tier of the “Myriad Hearts Soul Dominion Arcana.” In an instant, formless strands of primordial power wove together into an intricate web of crimson, shimmering with golden radiance.
Swoosh!
The crimson soul net shot out from the Gold-Horned Giant Beast’s body, swiftly diving into the massive spherical hive, entering the Zerg Queen’s body.
The ethereal web unfurled, seeping into one luminous orb after another. In an instant, the once-radiant energy matrix was engulfed in a blood-red haze. Innumerable crimson filaments pierced through every soul wellspring. The Zerg Matriarch offered no defiance—for she lay deep within the embrace of slumber.
“Good.”
“Almost there.”
“It must succeed.”
The Gold-Horned Giant Beast fully controlled the condensed soul net, threads infiltrating deeper. However, as the invasion deepened, it inevitably awakened the previously sleeping Zerg Queen, naturally disrupting the secret art once imposed by Hu Yanbo.
Moreover, when her soul faced true peril, the Zerg Queen awoke and immediately began struggling.
“She’s awake!”
“This must succeed in one strike!”
At this critical moment, the Gold-Horned Giant Beast, already amplifying its mental strength to over 3200, roared powerfully. The five black horns on its forehead, entwined with golden runes, all lit up, radiating across its entire body.
Innate Secret Art—Amplification!
Boom!
The soul enslavement net’s penetration power surged again, control becoming even stronger.
“Success!!!” Luo Feng gave his all, pouring his will and consciousness into the effort.
“Ahh!”
The Zerg Queen cried out in pain, her eyes opening to reveal a pair of sapphire-blue eyes—only now her gaze appeared terrifying. Then, gradually, she calmed, her previous fierce expression softening into tranquility, her sapphire-blue eyes resembling a gentle pool of water.
…
Consciousness divided into three, returning to each clone.
On the vast grassland within the Body Refinement World, the Black-Clothed Mosha Luo Feng stood before the Zerg Hive. Whoosh! The Black-Clothed Mosha Luo Feng rapidly grew taller and larger, soon becoming a twelve-meter-tall giant.
Swoosh!
Like a gust of wind, a delicate figure flew out from a pit on the hive, oozing toxic liquid and gas, then gently landed on the grassland. Her butterfly-like wings fluttered slightly in the breeze, and her captivating sapphire-blue eyes gazed lovingly at Luo Feng, as if he were her most cherished lover. A faint mist naturally enveloped her face, blurring her features.
“Master,” a soft, penetrating voice sounded. The Zerg Queen slightly bowed.
“Who would have thought that the Zerg Queen, capable of producing billions of grotesque Zerg warriors, could be so delicate and beautiful? Without prior knowledge, who could imagine?” Luo Feng mused silently, then asked aloud, “Zerg Queen, do you have a name?”
“Master, my name is Irina,” the Zerg Queen replied.
“Hmm.”
Luo Feng nodded. “From now on, I shall call you Irina. You are currently at the peak Emperor Level. If you wish to reach Immortal Level, what assistance do you require from me?”
“Immortality?” Irina’s eyes sparkled as she softly smiled. “Master, first, my own Law abilities haven’t yet reached the threshold for Immortality. As for required resources, once I reach that threshold, Master can provide them. Generally, a King-Level Immortal among humans can provide sufficient resources. In short… among countless races, the Zerg race is the hardest to achieve Immortality.”
Luo Feng sighed helplessly.
“If you wish to assist me, Master, then provide sufficient resources for me to cultivate Zerg warriors,” Irina softly requested. “Only with enough Zerg warriors can I fight for Master.”
“I know the Zerg warriors come in many varieties,” Luo Feng remarked.
“There are indeed many types.”
Irina seemed slightly pouting. “However, early in my development, I already chose three primary types of Zerg warriors—these three I am more adept at. If Master truly wishes to change the types of warriors I cultivate, it would cost quite a bit. Also, Zerg warrior cultivation is divided into two main modes.”
“What are these two cultivation modes?” The Black-Clothed Luo Feng gazed at the endearing Irina. “And, which three types of Zerg warriors are you most skilled with?”
