Chapter 863: The Revived Heavy Arrow King

After Luo Feng carefully investigated how to awaken and restore the sleeping Heavy Arrow King, he learned both good news and bad news.

The good news was that although the Heavy Arrow King was a peak King-ranked warrior, the so-called “peak King” strength was achieved through body-amplification secret techniques that momentarily enhanced the quality of immortal power. However, the total energy remained unchanged, similar to the Golden-Horned Giant Beast using “Original Self Heaven and Earth” to greatly boost its power. The increase in strength was due to the body shrinking and the muscle and bone density increasing.

Thus, the Heavy Arrow King in his sleeping state had long deactivated his body-amplification techniques and was essentially at the strength level of an ordinary peak King-ranked warrior.

Therefore, restoring the Heavy Arrow King was no different from restoring any other peak King-ranked warrior.

The bad news was—

The Heavy Arrow King’s recovery had two stages: first, awakening from sleep, and second, full restoration. Once awakened, the Heavy Arrow King could actively absorb the mysterious energies from various treasures to quickly recover. While asleep, however, he couldn’t actively absorb energy, making the required treasures far more expensive.

The “Awakening Stage” required 63 billion mixed yuan units. Though it only increased his state from 12% to nearly 20%, the cost was extremely high.

The “Restoration Stage” required 58 billion mixed yuan units.

Though seemingly not a large amount, in reality, many peak King-ranked warriors’ entire wealth amounted to only a fraction of that, accumulated over countless years. For example, Bloodbeast King would rather peacefully cultivate for a billion years than waste such a vast fortune.

…

In the Void, at Base 026 Camp:

“Purchased!” Luo Feng, sitting atop an icy mountain peak, clenched his teeth. “No matter what, this is a peak King-ranked warrior! A living peak King-ranked warrior with potential for growth. With the resources I provide, he will definitely cultivate faster than alone. Perhaps his strength can even increase further.”

In terms of strength, the Heavy Arrow King surpassed Luo Feng.

But in terms of resources, this immortal of an alien race couldn’t compare to Luo Feng, a human prodigy. Being a disciple of the Chaos City Lord, Luo Feng had access to astonishing resources. Even a small portion given to his soul servant was more than enough for him to enjoy.

…

In the following days, Luo Feng began large-scale trading. Fortunately, unlike the previous tower treasure, this time the handling of treasures was much simpler.

Half a month later:

Spending about 120 billion mixed yuan units out of 230 billion to purchase various precious substances for the Heavy Arrow King’s complete recovery, and about 3 billion to buy the strongest Fire God Source Crystal for minor supplementation, Luo Feng still had around 800 billion mixed yuan units left from the previous tower treasure’s massive haul, plus an additional hundred billion.

In total, Luo Feng still had 90 billion mixed yuan units in cash reserves and wasn’t in a hurry to spend recklessly.

Whether it was improving “Original Self Heaven and Earth,” enhancing the Muyun Vine, or cultivating the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass, this amount of wealth was still far from sufficient. Luo Feng sighed, “Supporting plant life, mechanical race weapons, and other external means all require an immense amount of treasures, which in turn require massive wealth to purchase!”

…

A month after Daohe King’s famous battle, within a world inside the World Ring:

A nutrient pod, custom-made to the size of the Daohe King, measuring ten meters long and four meters wide externally with slightly larger internal dimensions, was placed on the desert. Luo Feng, clad in black robes, observed the sleeping Heavy Arrow King lying on the nearby sand. His invisible world force extended outward, lifting the Heavy Arrow King and gently lowering him into the pod.

“Beep!” Luo Feng pressed the button lightly.

Whoosh—

The transparent pod lid automatically closed, and the interior began releasing strange liquid substances. Many were ground into powder and dissolved in liquid. The most expensive among them was a piece of ‘Sanjin Boluo Leaf.’ Out of the treasures worth 63 billion, this single leaf alone was worth over 5 billion mixed yuan units.

“Shhh~~” The liquid enveloped the Heavy Arrow King, and mysterious forces began seeping into his body. Soon, the liquid started to bubble and churn.

“It begins.” Luo Feng murmured softly.

“Heavy Arrow King, if not for becoming my servant, you might have slept for countless years.” Luo Feng looked at the pod and smiled, “Of course, if given the choice, you’d never choose to be my servant. Even the weakest strength is still your own; even the strongest servant is still a servant… Alas, this is the law of strength and weakness. You were defeated into unconsciousness, so who else can you blame but yourself for not being strong enough?”

Time passed minute by minute.

The liquid inside the pod was gradually fading in color. After about three days, the Luo Feng in black robes clearly sensed a faint ripple of consciousness from his soul servant.

“Almost there.” Luo Feng smiled slightly.

Once consciousness emerged, it wouldn’t be long. Just an hour later, the Heavy Arrow King’s consciousness fully recovered.

“Whoosh!” The liquid inside the pod instantly became crystal clear, all the strange substances completely absorbed.

The transparent lid opened.

The Heavy Arrow King flashed out and landed on the desert, looking at Luo Feng before him. He couldn’t help but think, “One fall leads to eternal servitude, but my master was willing to spend precious treasures to awaken me. He must be a good master.” After being controlled at the soul level, he naturally felt affection and immense respect towards Luo Feng.

The Heavy Arrow King realized he was a servant, that he was controlled, yet he felt no resentment. His very soul naturally accepted Luo Feng’s superiority, instinctively believing his master was good and that everything must be obeyed.

This was a soul servant!

A servant completely loyal from the soul.

Unlike those controlled by biochips, who might outwardly appear obedient but inwardly resent their fate and desire change, a soul servant had no such inclinations.

“Master.” The Heavy Arrow King bowed respectfully.

“Hmm.” Luo Feng looked at the Heavy Arrow King. The warrior’s current black battle armor and mask made him appear extremely respectful and humble as he bowed. However, standing at over eight meters tall, Luo Feng felt slightly uncomfortable, as if speaking to a giant three stories high.

“Shrink down to my height.” Luo Feng ordered.

“Yes, Master.” The Heavy Arrow King’s body quickly shrank. Moments later, he stood at about 1.7 meters tall, slightly bowing like a well-mannered old butler.

“Hmm.” Luo Feng nodded.

Immortal beings could easily change their body size, though it affected their strength. Their original size was needed to unleash their full power. Shrinking the Heavy Arrow King to this size reduced his strength by about thirty percent.

“Stay like this normally. Restore your original size only when fighting.” Luo Feng instructed.

“Yes, Master.” The Heavy Arrow King replied respectfully, “However, I have just awakened. My divine body is under 20%, and my strength is severely weakened.”

“Later, I will help you fully recover in a short time.” Luo Feng in black robes flipped his hand, and a weathered purple ancient bell immediately appeared in the air before dropping down with a clang onto the desert. The Heavy Arrow King turned to look, his eyes lighting up as he sensed the ancient, powerful aura of the bell—clearly a priceless treasure.

Seeing this, Luo Feng smiled.

“This is truly a treasure.” The Heavy Arrow King was excited. Such treasures were usually owned by Cosmic Sovereigns. Among even peak King-ranked warriors, very few possessed such a treasure.

“Try to establish a mental connection with it.” Luo Feng smiled. He had already removed his mental imprint on the bell earlier, making it ownerless. Although he had planned to check whether the bell would benefit his teacher, Zhenyan King, upon returning to Chaos City, he decided to give it to the Heavy Arrow King first.

Moreover, only someone proficient in both “Fire” and “Space” Laws could fully utilize the bell. However, his teacher Zhenyan King specialized in “Earth” and “Space” Laws, so it was uncertain whether the bell would benefit him.

“Yes.” The Heavy Arrow King was extremely excited. He reached out and touched the bell, then imprinted his spiritual mark on it.

Whoosh!

The bell directly fused into the Heavy Arrow King’s body, faintly manifesting as a bell-shaped illusion on his body before disappearing.

“Hmm?” A trace of concern flickered in the Heavy Arrow King’s eyes.

“Master.” He respectfully said, “This purple bell must be mastered in ‘Fire’ and ‘Space’ Laws to be effectively used. However, I… originally became an immortal through ‘Earth’ Law. Although I have some understanding of ‘Fire’ Law, I haven’t fully mastered it.”

“Oh?” Luo Feng looked at him.

The Heavy Arrow King quickly continued, “However, I have received recognition from the ‘Fire’ Law’s origin. Although after becoming an immortal, my immortal body became part of the ‘Earth’ Law’s ocean, making it difficult to comprehend other Laws. Still, since I have received the ‘Fire’ Law’s recognition, there is hope for further understanding.”

“Haha…” Luo Feng laughed, “The purple bell is temporarily given to you. Even if you can’t fully utilize its other abilities, its defensive capabilities alone are extremely important to you. Work on mastering the ‘Fire’ Law as soon as possible.”

“This is what you need to recover your strength.”

Luo Feng casually tossed a spatial ring towards the Heavy Arrow King. After catching it, the Heavy Arrow King briefly examined its contents and was delighted: “Thank you, Master!”

“Hmm, quickly restore your strength. I will need your assistance when I venture into dangerous parts of the universe.” Luo Feng smiled.

…

At the Monarch level, one could comprehend various Laws, each being closely related to a Monarch.

At the Immortal level, the soul completely merges with the divine body, becoming part of it. The divine body, composed of immortal power, is essentially part of the Law’s origin ocean. For example, if one becomes an Immortal through the ‘Earth’ Law, then comprehending other Laws like ‘Fire,’ ‘Water,’ ‘Light,’ or ‘Wind’ will face strong resistance, making comprehension extremely difficult—millions or even millions of times harder.

Of course, there are exceptions.

If one receives recognition from a certain Law early on, then there won’t be resistance, although comprehension will still be much more difficult.

Additionally—

The higher-level Law above the five elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—is the Space Law.

Immortals who have perfected one of the five elemental Laws can still attempt to comprehend Space Law, although there will be resistance, making progress possible but far more difficult than at the Monarch level.

For Wind, Lightning, and Light Laws, attempting to comprehend Time Law also offers potential for progress.

However, if one has already mastered Wind Law and insists on studying Space Law, it might be feasible at the Monarch level, but at the Immortal stage, cultivation becomes practically impossible.

…

Time passed, and three months later, the Heavy Arrow King finally restored his full strength, reaching his peak state.
