Luo Feng carefully read through the information about the Hong Alliance, growing more and more astonished as he read.
Hong Alliance City gathered all the powerful beings of humanity and numerous other alien races. Who would possess treasures within a race? Naturally, it would be these mighty Sovereign Immortal Gods, even the Cosmic Lords, and ultimately the supreme rulers of the universe themselves, who controlled the vast majority of wealth across numerous races within the Hong Alliance.
Therefore—
Some so-called bank-star-level client auctions, when compared to the transactions in Hong Alliance City, were nothing more than child’s play.
Ordinary transactions were measured in units of ten billion Mixed-Yuan.
Some major transactions were even more exaggerated.
As for rare and unique treasures, they were often traded directly for other items.
…
Auctions! Massive transactions! Elite teams exploring secret cosmic realms! Elite squads fighting in extraterrestrial battlefields! Special organizations formed by shared interests and goals! In short… don’t underestimate the Hong Alliance City just because it has only over three million powerful experts—it controls the wealth and even the survival of humanity and countless other races.
Humans are the rulers of the Hong Alliance!
Even though superpowers like the Chaos City Lord, Void Gold Lord, and others might share common interests regarding the survival of their races, they still had conflicting interests in cultivating their own forces and seizing treasures! After all, even the Chaos City Lord, Void Gold Lord, Longxing Lord, and others each had their own desires!
There were conflicts within humanity, and the numerous alien races also wanted a larger share and more resources!
In short…
Hong Alliance City was truly a chaotic melting pot filled with all sorts of factions and influences.
“Just from the information I’ve gathered, I can already see so much going on. Indeed, the greater the interests, the fiercer the struggles… Hmm, it seems I’ll need to spend some time studying things carefully before entering Hong Alliance City.”
“But right now, I’m in the middle of cultivating the Second Calamity of the Nameless Secret Manual.”
“The Earthman True Body cultivates quickly; I should finish cultivating as soon as possible so that the Earthman True Body can establish a solid foothold on the Flame Sacrifice Continent.”
…
Inside his hidden lair on the Flame Sacrifice Continent, Luo Feng did not rush to Hong Alliance City immediately. It was obviously a place filled with hidden dangers and undercurrents, requiring thorough investigation.
“The First Calamity of the Nameless Secret Manual took three months for the Earthman True Body to complete, while the Gold-Horned Giant Beast spent 29 years.”
“The Second Calamity seems to be about the same.”
…
Time passed, and soon Luo Feng had been cultivating the Second Calamity for nearly three months.
Inside his inner world, on a beach within the Endless Sea.
Luo Feng, half-naked, was sitting cross-legged on the beach. Faint glowing light radiated from his entire body, and his aura had become distinctly different. Just like the Gold-Horned Giant Beast or the Destroyer Giant Beast, even when resting, his presence exuded pressure—a natural pressure from advanced life evolution.
The Gold-Horned Giant Beast, with its supreme bloodline, already had ten times the strength of ordinary humans at the peak of the World Lord stage!
After completing the Second Calamity, Luo Feng’s Earthman True Body had already reached six times the strength of an ordinary human—comparable to the royal bloodline of the Demon Race.
“Phew.”
Luo Feng softly opened his eyes. “I’ve completed it.”
“My physical strength has reached six times, not the nine times I had guessed.” Luo Feng then smiled slightly while shaking his head. “I’m being too greedy. Genetic evolution itself is already miraculous, effectively allowing my Earthman bloodline to rival the royal bloodlines of the demon race. If I complete the Third Calamity, I might even surpass the peak bloodlines of the Star-Sea Giant Beasts.”
This Nameless Secret Manual consisted of nine calamities in total.
First Calamity: 3 times.
Second Calamity: 6 times.
Third Calamity: …
Up to the Ninth Calamity.
Merely through this secret technique, an ordinary human’s body could evolve far beyond even the Gold-Horned Giant Beast or the Destroyer Giant Beast in terms of bloodline, gaining a massive advantage in foundational strength and breaking through the restrictions imposed by cosmic laws on races. What an incredibly miraculous technique! The higher Luo Feng’s status became, the more he realized how precious this secret manual truly was.
“It’s time to attempt fusion with the Blood-Net Crystals. I previously fused with eight Blood-Net Crystals… Now that I’ve completed the Second Calamity of the Nameless Secret Manual, my genes have undergone a tremendous leap, already just one tier below the Gold-Horned Giant Beast, comparable to the royal bloodlines of the Demon Race,” Luo Feng mused to himself. “Perhaps I can become a ‘Heiwu Practitioner,’ a title that hasn’t appeared on the Blood-Net Continent for countless years.”
Waves crashed against the beach, soaking Luo Feng’s calves.
“Begin.” Luo Feng flipped his hand, revealing a stunningly beautiful Blood-Net Crystal. He sliced his palm and directly grabbed the crystal.
The excruciating pain of fusing the ninth Blood-Net Crystal was easily endured by Luo Feng.
He just stood there on the beach.
Soon, everything calmed down.
“Good.”
“Success!”
“The ninth is successful. Now for the tenth.” Luo Feng, previously calm, now couldn’t help but hold his breath. Quickly slicing his palm again, he fused a new Blood-Net Crystal. The bloodthirsty aura was easily repelled, and then the Blood-Net energy began to seep into Luo Feng’s body. Unlike the Gold-Horned Giant Beast, whose massive body limited the Blood-Net energy to only the right hoof, Luo Feng’s entire body was undergoing transformation.
Crackle, crackle, crackle—
His entire muscular system trembled violently.
“Crack!” Luo Feng’s expression slightly changed, but he stood firm. He looked down at the Blood-Net Crystal in his palm—it had turned completely transparent. The Blood-Net energy was now undergoing its final transformation inside his body.
“It must succeed!”
“It must succeed!” Luo Feng furrowed his brow, sensing the changes throughout his body.
His muscles and bones seemed to be compressed to their limit, creaking as if they might snap at any moment. The pressure from the Blood-Net energy seeping into every cell of his muscles, bones, and tissues kept increasing. Finally, as the last bit of Blood-Net energy merged in, the pressure rapidly receded like a retreating tide.
Luo Feng, now fully covered in scales, watched as the scales quickly disappeared from his body.
He stood silently on the beach for a long time.
“Ha ha ha… Success!”
“I’ve become a Heiwu Practitioner—a true Heiwu Practitioner!” Luo Feng couldn’t help but excitedly throw a right punch, causing the space around him to tremble. A powerful shockwave radiated outward in all directions, suddenly sending the calm waves ahead surging into hundreds of meters high, rolling far into the distance.
“Ten! The tenth was successful!”
“In the Blood-Net World, Heiwu Practitioners are already legendary, and yet I’ve succeeded.” Although Luo Feng had long suspected he might be able to do it, the realization still filled him with excitement.
Actually, Luo Feng’s success was quite natural.
In terms of genetic potential, Luo Feng far surpassed the natives of the Blood-Net World. Even the savage beast Qiniu, whose bloodline could rival that of the demon royalty, was barely comparable to Luo Feng. The Qiniu had absorbed slightly more Blood-Net Crystals than Luo Feng, but this was due to two reasons: their inherently superior genetic potential and the fact that the Qiniu, as a native savage beast of the Blood-Net World, had undergone subtle evolutionary influences from the invisible aura of the Beast God, making them more compatible with Blood-Net Crystals.
“Although I nearly failed at the last moment, I still succeeded.”
“I wonder if my guess was right…” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.
“Blood-Net Power!”
A faint golden glow suddenly appeared on Luo Feng’s skin, and even his eyes shimmered with a hint of gold. His body also slightly slimmed down, becoming more compact and refined, like forged steel. At this moment, Luo Feng no longer looked much like a human, but more like a peerless, ferocious beast exuding an aura of supreme dominance.
“Amazing! Amazing! My guess was actually correct!” A wild joy shone in Luo Feng’s eyes.
“Ha ha ha…”
“I really guessed right.”
“After fusing ten Blood-Net Crystals into the Earthman True Body and activating the Blood-Net Power, my genes underwent a transformation, and my physical strength skyrocketed to ten times its previous level,” Luo Feng exclaimed joyfully.
Indeed, his physical strength had increased to exactly ten times what it had been before.
When the Gold-Horned Giant Beast fused ten Blood-Net Crystals, the strength of its right hoof alone equaled its previous total body strength—effectively doubling its overall strength.
One was a two-fold increase; the other was ten-fold!
Luo Feng had long had his suspicions.
The reasoning was simple. The Gold-Horned Giant Beast’s massive body meant that the Blood-Net Power could only cover its right hoof! The fact that just one hoof fusing ten Blood-Net Crystals could equal its previous total body strength meant that the hoof’s strength had increased tenfold.
When the Gold-Horned Giant Beast fused one hundred Blood-Net Crystals, making its right hoof equal to ten times its original total body strength—meaning one hoof alone equaled ten times the previous total strength—then how much had that hoof itself evolved? At least a hundredfold.
…
The Gold-Horned Giant Beast’s massive body had both advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage was that it was at a disadvantage when fusing Blood-Net Crystals.
However, the Earthman True Body allowed the Blood-Net Power to spread throughout Luo Feng’s entire body, resulting in a complete transformation of his entire being. Naturally, his physical strength increased directly by tenfold.
“Great, this is truly a pleasant surprise. It seems my earlier theory was correct,” Luo Feng said excitedly, then shouted, “Beast God Transformation!”
Instantly, countless scales emerged on Luo Feng’s skin, making him look like a humanoid Beast God.
“Success!”
“The Beast God Transformation was perfectly successful, hahaha… Now my Earthman True Body has formidable combat strength,” Luo Feng laughed loudly, imagining future battles.
…
Through cultivating the Nameless Secret Manual, Luo Feng’s genetic potential had evolved to six times that of an ordinary human at the peak World Lord stage. Activating the Blood-Net Power, derived from the Beast God’s blood essence, caused his genetic potential to surge again—by tenfold. This brought his current strength to sixty times that of a World Lord.
The first stage of the Beast God Transformation amplified his physical strength by two times!
That meant 120 times the strength of a World Lord!
And the minimum requirement for fusing the Jiajia was 100 times the strength of a World Lord.
“Haha…”
“I’ve gained another Sovereign-level combat strength.” In his Beast God humanoid form, Luo Feng flipped his hand and took out a crystalline silver bead—the Jiajia Bead. “Jiajia Bead, let’s fuse it!”
Whoosh!
The Jiajia Bead shot directly into Luo Feng’s body, transforming into countless threads that began to fuse into every muscle cell, organ, and internal tissue. The pressure from fusing the Jiajia Bead was immense, but Luo Feng now easily withstood it. A faint “General” character appeared on his chest before vanishing beneath his skin.
“Jiajia, emerge!”
In an instant, a suit of silver battle armor covered Luo Feng’s body. The Jiajia granted Luo Feng an additional ten thousand times the strength of a World Lord, instantly boosting his physical might to the Sovereign level. Combined with his sword techniques and supreme martial arts…
A Sovereign-level combat strength was thus formed!
“Haha… From today onward, I possess two Sovereign-level combat strengths.”
“Both my Earthman True Body and the Gold-Horned Giant Beast clone are Sovereign-level fighters. If one can’t handle an enemy, I’ll send both in together!”
