“It must be an immortal deity controlled by soul force! Otherwise, why would it self-destruct?” Luo Feng exclaimed in alarm.
“Wu~~~”
The golden-horned beast roared in pain. It had no time to dodge when an immortal deity suddenly self-destructed in close proximity. Cultivating to the immortal level was extremely difficult. The energy contained within an immortal deity was no less than that of a star. Now, with the self-destruction, all the immortal power accumulated over billions of years erupted instantaneously!
Would any immortal power remain after such a self-destruction?
Moreover, this was a fire-attribute immortal deity.
“Boom~~~”
The explosion was hundreds or even thousands of times hotter than the flame of the Laws. It instantly melted even fragments of cosmic space, as if compressing a supernova explosion into a single moment. The resulting devastation was beyond comprehension. Naturally, the golden-horned beast, being the closest, was the first to suffer from this terrifying explosion.
The golden right claw was the hardest part of the golden-horned beast’s entire body.
If the overall strength of the golden-horned beast had increased about 330 times, then the enhancement of other body parts was only about 30 times. However, the golden right claw was thousands, even tens of thousands of times stronger than a normal hoof. Therefore, the average overall enhancement was 330 times. This golden right claw, enhanced so greatly, was harder than many immortal deities’ weapons.
In the face of the particle stream generated by this terrifying explosion, even cosmic space melted away. Yet, the golden right claw managed to withstand it.
“Chi chi chi~~~”
“Wu~~” The golden-horned beast roared in agony.
The areas closest to the golden right hoof—its neck and belly—were struck by the blast. Instantly, the black scales on its neck and belly turned bright red, then turned to ashes. “Chi chi chi~~” Beneath the scales were thick, powerful, interwoven muscles. The strength capable of tearing through space was transmitted through these muscles. However, in the face of the scorching particle stream from the fire-attribute immortal deity’s self-destruction, these muscles were instantly reduced to ashes.
Its internal organs were instantly turned to ashes!
The golden bones were obviously much stronger than the muscles and scales. They were slowly changing color, the original golden luster gradually dimming.
…
The particle stream from the explosion spread in all directions!
The golden-horned beast was just one of those directions. Other directions were filled with countless shattered corpses of peak Monarch-level insects. These corpses, after all, belonged to peak Monarch-level insects, each covered with extremely hard scales. Even using an E9-level laser gun to fire at them, it was very difficult to pierce through even a single layer of their armor. This was mainly because the insect corpses were inanimate objects without any energy infused into their scales.
The true Monarch-level insect warriors were even stronger in defense!
Corpses, however, were significantly weaker, yet still not to be underestimated.
Therefore, although the explosion was powerful enough to cover a range of millions of kilometers, the surrounding area was filled with countless peak Monarch-level insect corpses. When the scorching particle stream hit those insect corpses, they instantly melted into ashes. The particle stream continued to impact outward in all directions, burning countless insect corpses into ashes, while others shattered into fragments flying in all directions.
The self-destruction affected an area of thousands of kilometers in diameter.
Within a radius of a hundred kilometers, almost all the peak Monarch-level insect corpses were turned to ashes. Between a hundred kilometers and thousands of kilometers, many insect corpses were shattered further, while many others were merely pushed away by the impact, drifting into the distance with minimal damage.
After all!
After passing through layers of peak Monarch-level insect defenses, even an immortal deity’s self-destruction could only penetrate so many layers.
…
However, the golden-horned beast, with a body length of just over a hundred kilometers, was suffering the most terrifying impact.
The peak of the explosion lasted merely 0.01 seconds. Then, the explosion began to rapidly weaken, and even the collapsed cosmic space automatically repaired itself. There… beneath the weakening flames, the golden-horned beast was ‘trembling’ and hovering in mid-air. At this moment, the golden-horned beast… resembled a ‘skeleton golden-horned beast’.
Only the right hoof, the tip of the tail, and the edges of the wings still had scales covering them. The main body was left with only dim bones. Even the head was reduced to just a skull and five sharp horns.
“This is terrifying.”
“This power is so strong that even the golden-horned beast’s clone couldn’t withstand it, turning it into a skeleton golden-horned beast.” Luo Feng thought to himself.
At the same time—
Zoo!
The skeletal golden-horned beast still flew rapidly into the distance. Meanwhile, about 80,000 kilometers away from the golden-horned beast’s clone, there were some broken fragments of Mo Yun vines. However, among the broken vine fragments, several vines were entwining around an entire insect corpse within a few kilometers.
At the core of these vines…
was a piece of insect armor!
Shua!
The armor instantly transformed into Luo Feng—the Earth human’s original form.
“Zoo!” Luo Feng also quickly flew toward the skeletal golden-horned beast in the distance. When the two were close enough, the golden-horned beast vanished into thin air, directly entering the ‘World Within’.
…
Yes.
Luo Feng’s true lifeline, the ‘Original Core’, was not actually inside the golden-horned beast’s body. Previously, when Luo Feng discovered the assassin No.6, Koser, he had wanted to use this battle to test himself thoroughly. However, he also clearly understood that whoever could infiltrate the heavily guarded Mulong Star Domain to assassinate him must possess extraordinary means.
To prevent losing his life while trying to fight fire with fire, Luo Feng, when devising his battle plan, considered the first thing to be…
What to do if he couldn’t defeat his opponent?
Before considering victory, he first considered defeat!
Therefore—
When Luo Feng deployed the Mo Yun vines to spread out, allowing those 216 main vines to extend for thousands of kilometers, he had already transformed his Mosha Clan clone into a leaf attached to one of the main vines and placed the Original Core inside the Mosha Clan clone.
Moreover!
At that time, the main vines extended to be thousands of kilometers long, actually with another purpose—to send the ‘Mosha Clan clone leaf’ directly away from the battlefield to thousands of kilometers away. That leaf was hidden deep within the ‘Monarch-level insect corpse clusters’. At the moment it entered the corpse cluster, the Mosha Clan clone leaf transformed into ‘insect armor’.
Hidden among the corpse cluster, it was completely unremarkable.
Then, when the fire-attribute immortal deity appeared, it instantly caused many Mo Yun vines to shatter and explode, scattering fragments everywhere. At that moment, the fire-attribute immortal deity wouldn’t have noticed a single armor fragment among the countless insect corpses thousands of kilometers away, especially since the surrounding insect corpses were infinite and endless, making it impossible to suspect anything.
Afterwards!
The world projection spread out, reaching thousands of kilometers. At the same time, the golden-horned beast appeared, and Luo Feng, in his Earth human form, instantly entered the World Within!
…
The golden-horned beast fighting the fire-attribute immortal deity fully allowed Luo Feng to test his combat capabilities.
If successful, it would naturally be a happy event.
If he failed, then the golden-horned beast would self-destruct!
It would only be the loss of a clone. At worst, he would just consume more world power to cultivate another golden-horned beast clone within the World Within! As for the Blood Net Power within the right hoof… naturally, it would be a good thing if the hoof fragment could be retrieved afterward, allowing it to be refined and integrated into a new golden-horned beast body.
If the opponent took the right hoof fragment…
Well, he could just consume another 100 Blood Net Crystals to fuse into the golden-horned beast clone.
…
“No matter the success or failure, I have ensured my invulnerability. And if things really go badly, facing an extremely powerful enemy. When the golden-horned beast is killed in battle, I can still throw out my Earth human form, and randomly throw out some items from a space ring, pretending that the World Within has collapsed, allowing my Earth human form to be killed by the enemy. Letting the enemy believe they have truly killed me.” Luo Feng thought to himself.
Only in the worst-case scenario,
would he resort to this tactic—facing an opponent so powerful that even the self-destruction of the golden-horned beast couldn’t kill it. Regardless, the Mosha Clan clone transformed into ‘insect armor’ would definitely remain hidden within the endless sea of insect corpses…
…
For any unexpected situation, Luo Feng had devised countermeasures. Relying on the Mosha Clan clone, the golden-horned beast clone, the Earth human form, and the incredibly vast world projection, he could formulate many contingency plans.
“Damn!”
“The power of the fire-attribute immortal deity’s self-destruction is truly formidable.” Luo Feng glanced around. The surroundings were desolate, with charred remnants of insect corpses visible in the distance. The previous Law flames and the self-destruction had at least destroyed nearly 1000 insect corpse units. This was mainly because the insect corpses were too densely packed and had already lost the energy they possessed in life.
“A loss this big?”
“Nearly 1000 insect corpse units, all peak Monarch-level insect warriors.” Luo Feng swept his gaze, “The Mulong Star Domain will be furious when they find out about the loss of nearly ten million mixed yuan units.”
“Hmm?” A thought flashed through Luo Feng’s mind.
Immediately, his body flickered!
He flew directly to a few hundred kilometers away and expanded his World Within, sweeping up and hiding 300 peak Monarch-level insect corpse units inside.
“Hmph!”
“Since nearly a thousand peak Monarch-level insect units have already been destroyed, adding another 300 won’t be noticeable.” Luo Feng muttered to himself, secretly delighted. 300 peak Monarch-level insect corpse units—purchasing them would cost 3 million mixed yuan units, yet they were now in his grasp. Although he needed to consume a lot of world power to restore the golden-horned beast, the energy required was only a few mixed yuan units.
These 300 peak Monarch-level insect units were the biggest gain from this attack.
However, he didn’t dare to take too many.
After all, taking too many might leave clues.
“You could call it compensation. If I didn’t have the golden-horned beast clone, I probably would have died this time. The response mechanism of the Mulong Star Domain is too poor. I even begged for help from King Longjue, yet no powerful figures have arrived until now.” Luo Feng stood in the cosmic space, doing nothing, silently waiting.
The battle with the fire-attribute immortal deity lasted 50 seconds.
The strongest explosion lasted less than 0.01 seconds.
The golden-horned beast returned to the World Within in about 0.1 seconds.
Then…
Luo Feng looked around, thought for a moment, and decided to take another 300 peak Monarch-level insect units. It took him about 1 second to actually bring these insect units into the World Within.
…
Though the description seems lengthy, in reality, with Luo Feng’s reaction speed, which was as fast as an intelligent light brain, everything happened in the blink of an eye. His speed instantly reached tens of thousands of kilometers per second.
After finishing all this, Luo Feng silently waited in space like a victim.
“I’m the victim here,” Luo Feng muttered to himself.
