Luo Feng stretched out his hand to receive the hundred world rings. Massive transactions like this often came with free opportunities to scavenge treasures, and purchasing ten thousand units of Zerg corpses was a hundred times more than the previous purchase—enough to allow him to scavenge treasures freely for a century.
“It’s more enjoyable to scavenge treasures within the Wulong Star Region,” Luo Feng smiled.
“Haha, connect to the Virtual Universe Network,” King Longjue said. “I need to send you the surveillance map. This step must be reviewed and approved by the Virtual Universe system.”
“Alright,” Luo Feng nodded.
The Virtual Universe system had numerous functions, including witnessing and review.
Organizations like the First Cosmic Bank, the Cosmic Milky Way Bank, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, and the Axe Fighting Arena all relied on this Virtual Universe network. Luo Feng was well aware of the system’s power but still couldn’t help but marvel at it once again.
…
Moments later, Luo Feng received authorization, and the surveillance map of the entire Wulong Star Region appeared on the screen of his arm guard.
“King Longjue, I’ll go ahead and start scavenging treasures,” Luo Feng said with a smile.
“Wishing you find rare treasures,” Longjue replied.
“Haha…” Luo Feng chuckled, then transformed into a streak of light and left the palace.
Watching Luo Feng depart, King Longjue couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “Wasting time scavenging in a junkyard? Hmm, he’s reached the Realm Lord level… probably preparing for the Trial of Life and Death. Before that trial, he wants to relax and scavenge treasures for fun. Poor fellow, I wonder if he’ll survive the Trial of Life and Death.”
Throughout history, countless super geniuses had perished during the Trial of Life and Death.
Without undergoing trials, one could never become a true powerhouse.
Humans knew the dangers, yet they still insisted that all Realm Lord-level geniuses undergo the Trial of Life and Death.
…
The Wulong Star Region was nearly entirely filled with debris from countless wars. Various wreckage clogged the stars, though they were still organized into distinct sections.
“Last time I searched for carapace fragments, the guide kept following me—it was such a hassle. This time, it’s great… I’m all alone, free as can be.” Luo Feng, aboard his spaceship, looked down at the surveillance star map on his wrist guard. “Hmm, all those white dots on the map must be internal personnel. And this red dot… Hmm, my coordinates are also marked as red. So it must represent outsiders.”
Soon, Luo Feng figured out how the surveillance star map worked.
In truth, the monitoring star map’s security clearance wasn’t high. After all, every grassroots internal staff member had access to it. With Luo Feng’s current authority, obtaining access was effortless.
“Ba Bata, stop here.”
“Understood.”
The Yimosixing No. 1 rapidly decelerated, stopped, and returned to the original universe.
Puff!
Suddenly, a blood-red triangular spaceship appeared at one of the docking points within the Wulong Star Region.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng flew out of the cabin.
“Summoning!”
Luo Feng felt the summoning force and turned his gaze toward the distant direction. “That’s the way. There must be carapace fragments there.”
With a wave of his hand, Luo Feng retracted the Yimosixing spaceship and quickly flew in that direction, rapidly accelerating until he approached near-light speed—advancing at a velocity of about 280,000 kilometers per second.
…
The speed of light was the ultimate speed limit in the original universe. Once accelerated to light speed, one would be ‘kicked’ into the dark universe, completing inter-universal travel.
Immortal beings could all travel between universes with their physical bodies.
But Realm Lords could hardly achieve this. In fact, the general speed limit for human Realm Lords at peak strength was around 150,000 kilometers per second, mainly because their physical constitutions weren’t strong enough. Accelerating purely by physical strength, as speed increased, the strain on their bodies grew exponentially.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s body was powerful enough to allow physical inter-universal travel.
Such cases were extremely rare!
Even with Luo Feng’s physical enhancements—three times stronger than a typical Realm Lord at peak strength—thanks to his cultivation of the Nameless Secret Manual, he still couldn’t achieve physical inter-universal travel. However, he possessed the treasure “Soldier Armor,” which he couldn’t fully utilize when he was a Domain Lord. Now, however, he could.
Soldier Armor could unleash a power 1,000 times that of a Realm Lord at peak strength.
During acceleration, the armor could resist over 90% of the strain, allowing Luo Feng to easily reach speeds of 280,000 kilometers per second. Reaching light speed wasn’t difficult either.
“Haha, my luck is pretty good.”
“This time, as soon as I arrived, I found two silver carapace fragments.” Standing in a junkyard, Luo Feng’s face was filled with joy and delight. “Last time, in two years, I managed to collect 232 black carapace fragments, 12 silver ones, and one shattered blade. That was barely enough to complete two sets of Soldier Armor.”
Soldier Armor was magical.
It offered strong defense, could carry immense power, and had resistance against mental attacks.
However, a single set of Soldier Armor amplifying power by 1,000 times a Realm Lord’s peak strength was decent for the Golden-Horned Beast back then. However, 1,200 years later in Chaos City, the current Golden-Horned Beast was much stronger—so much so that a single set of Soldier Armor no longer significantly enhanced its power.
After all, the base strength of the Golden-Horned Beast was already 30 times that of an ordinary human (10 times for a typical Golden-Horned Beast, amplified 3 times by the Nameless Secret Manual, totaling 30 times).
The Blood-Luo Power driving the right hoof claw multiplied the power by 11 times.
And the two amplification techniques—the “Original Body Heaven and Earth” (7.5 times) and the “Innate Secret Method” (2 times)—could amplify the body’s power by 15 times!
Combined, this totaled 4,950 times the strength of a Realm Lord! The reason for such an absurd number was mainly due to the Nameless Secret Manual and the Blood-Luo Power. Without those two… the Golden-Horned Beast would only be 150 times stronger than a human Realm Lord, which would be normal for a peak Golden-Horned Beast Realm Lord.
The Blood-Luo Power and the Nameless Secret Manual had caused the Golden-Horned Beast’s physical strength to skyrocket—making the usefulness of the Soldier Armor seem relatively minor.
…
Within the Wulong Star Region, Luo Feng was like a treasure-hunting rat, scavenging through one junkyard after another.
Finding silver carapace fragments was extremely difficult. At first, the efficiency was decent, but as time passed, the efficiency gradually declined. Along the way, he even managed to collect several sets of Soldier Armor. Clearly, black carapace fragments were significantly easier to find, but this time, his main target was the silver ones.
Luo Feng never gave up.
In fact, he allocated a portion of his consciousness to treasure hunting, while his Golden-Horned Beast clone and Mosha Clan clone continued studying the second layer of the “Seven Transformations of the Soul.”
…
In the Virtual Universe, at the Nine-Star Bay of the Black Dragon Mountain Island.
“Dad!”
“Dad!”
Luoping and Luohai shouted outside the door.
“Luoping, Luohai, your dad just came back, and you won’t even let me have some alone time with him,” Xu Xin said with mock annoyance. “Come in.”
“This past 21 years, Dad has been coming back often, hasn’t he?” Luohai laughed heartily as he strode in.
The two young men walked in together. Though they had lived over 4,000 years, they showed no signs of aging. Luoping appeared more dignified, as he was now in charge of most of the Luo family’s major affairs, wielding the authority of the family head. This made him appear calm and composed, with a noble and graceful demeanor.
Luohai was the opposite—like a savage bandit, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
Two sons, two different personalities.
“Dad, were you still in the Wulong Star Region these past 21 years?” Luohai asked.
“Yeah,” Luo Feng smiled and nodded.
It wasn’t easy to gather a complete set of silver armor. He hadn’t succeeded yet.
Moreover, his plan was to collect two complete sets!
He would have to stay in the Wulong Star Region for a while. As the saying goes, sharpening the axe doesn’t delay chopping wood. Only after preparing all means thoroughly could he fully commit to venturing into the battlefield beyond the domain.
“After finishing in the Wulong Star Region, are you going to the battlefield beyond the domain?” Luohai couldn’t help but ask. “Dad, can I come with you? I have a Realm Lord-level plant life assisting me, so it’s safe.”
“You?”
Luo Feng shook his head. “You’re still far from ready. Although you have plant life assisting you, your own strength is only at the ninth Domain Lord stage… On the battlefield beyond the domain, you’d just be cannon fodder. If an enemy expert launches a mental attack and you’re caught in its range, you’d be dead. Even I have to be extremely cautious on the battlefield beyond the domain—I won’t have the capacity to protect you. You should focus on cultivation and adventure within human territory. Don’t even think about going to the battlefield beyond the domain until you reach the peak Realm Lord stage and possess strength comparable to an ‘Immortal Divine.'”
“Alright,” Luohai replied dejectedly. Within the family, Luohai feared no one and was domineering and fierce.
But he was most afraid of his father, Luo Feng.
“Stay focused,” Luo Feng instructed. “The resources you have—others can only dream of. You must cherish them.”
“I understand, Dad,” Luohai replied.
The Luo family was now one of the most prominent families in the Qianwu Cosmic Nation, naturally possessing some depth of resources. Back when Earth was coveted by many Cosmic Venerables, Luo Feng had made a deal with the Virtual Universe Company, leaving behind approximately 10 million Yuan units worth of Lock Divine Water to cultivate plant life.
10 million Yuan units of Lock Divine Water was enough to cultivate over a hundred plant lives at the ninth Domain Lord stage.
Luo Feng had plenty of Lock Divine Water—this amount was just a drop in the ocean for him.
Of course, the family was still weak and didn’t even have an Immortal Divine stationed there. Luo Feng dared not leave too many treasures in the family—however, the family’s main base was on Earth, which was now unquestionably safe.
“Hmm?” Suddenly, a delighted expression appeared on Luo Feng’s face.
“What’s up, Dad?” Luohai asked noisily.
“Dad?” Luoping also looked at Luo Feng in confusion.
“Good news,” Luo Feng smiled.
…
Inside a junkyard in the Wulong Star Region.
“It’s been so many years—21 years. I’ve collected a total of 1,985 black carapace fragments, and finally, I’ve gathered these 113 silver ones,” Luo Feng stood inside the junkyard. He had long since expelled the Soldier Armor Pearl from his body, and the numerous silver carapace fragments had already merged into his body, beginning a special transformation.
Fusion!
Luo Feng had experienced this transformation before and clearly understood what it meant… a complete set of silver armor had been gathered!
A massive amount of silver liquid gathered and fused inside his body, reaching the limit.
“Boom!”
A sudden, dramatic change occurred!
Luo Feng felt a slight tremor throughout his entire body. Then, on his chest, a mysterious symbolic mark emerged—it was a faint silver mark, written in Yan Shen Clan script—the character “General” (Jiang)!
Luo Feng looked down at the silver mark on his chest and softly murmured, “General?”
