Chapter 986: Travelling Through the Nine幽 World

Standing amidst the weeds, Luo Feng gripped the weeds in front of him, crushing them into nothingness.

“It failed! The creation of the third clone has failed!” Luo Feng felt his mind buzz. Even if his Earth-originated main body were in such a desperate situation, he had never felt so disturbed.

Since leaving Earth and stepping into the cosmos, Luo Feng had constantly strived to improve himself, fighting time and again, advancing further and further on the path of power. However, Luo Feng had to admit… the ‘Mosha Clan clone’ and the ‘Golden-Horned Great Beast clone’ had played significant roles. Although willpower and mentality were crucial, talent also mattered.

“The third clone is extremely important for my future development and my position in the universe.”

“Like the Immortal Venerable!”

“He may only be a Cosmic Sovereign, but no Sovereign Lords dare underestimate him because no one has truly managed to kill him yet,” Luo Feng mused. “If I had a World Tree clone, even if my other clones perished, the massive divine power provided by the World Tree clone could quickly replenish and restore me… then I would possess the same ability as the Immortal Venerable—truly immortal!”

“The Divine Kingdom is the most critical part of a deity.”

“And the World Tree within the ‘Divine Kingdom’ not only enhances the Divine Kingdom, but is itself mighty. Moreover, the World Tree’s innate talent ‘Control over Space-Time,’ combined with the pressure of the Divine Kingdom… will significantly boost absolute strength.” Luo Feng felt bitter; this was the most suitable choice he had ultimately selected from all known ‘Domain-level special life forms.’

Actually, he already possessed the “Nine Tribulations Secret Classic,” so logically speaking, it would be more advantageous to seek out a flesh-based special life form, allowing his divine body to attain an extraordinarily formidable level.

However, Luo Feng’s current status and authority allowed him to know some information… the universe has limits.

For example, the limits of ‘Divine Body Amplification’ and ‘Soul Amplification’ are one hundredfold!

Even the highest life form tier, even if it is a unique special life form in the universe, would only reach several thousand to ten thousandfold.

“I already possess the Golden-Horned Great Beast clone. With the ‘Nine Tribulations Secret Classic,’ this clone can undoubtedly reach the level of those rare and unique special life forms,” Luo Feng contemplated. “Given that, there’s no need for me to seek another flesh-based special life form, as flesh-based ones… are typically not large in size.”

Size represents the amount of divine power.

Bigger is better!

For example, the ‘Domain-level World Tree’ has a large size, so even if the strongest Fire God Core Crystal exploded, it might only destroy a part of its body hundreds of thousands of kilometers in size. Compared to its crown spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers in diameter and a height of 60 million kilometers… the strongest Fire God Core Crystal would only inflict a minor injury on it!

“Take the strongest World Tree, for example. Without even considering its own abilities, its massive divine body alone is enough to make other Cosmic Sovereigns despair. Even if other Cosmic Sovereigns self-destructed, they might only inflict minor injuries on the strongest World Tree.” Luo Feng felt bitter inside. “Without even considering any comprehension of laws, its massive divine body alone means only a Cosmic Overlord could pose a threat to it.”

“What should I do now?”

“The creation of the World Tree clone has failed, obviously my inner world cannot bear it.” Luo Feng gritted his teeth. “So what should my third clone be?”

One failure is fine.

The innate secret art ‘clones’ is destined to have three clones, of course, the premise is to cultivate them before becoming immortal. If one steps into immortality, without an inner world, one can no longer cultivate clones, thus wasting the opportunity.

“What kind of clone should I cultivate?”

“What kind of clone should my third one be?” Luo Feng’s mind flashed through various records of special life forms.

Flesh-based special lifeform? Even with the “Nine Tribulations Secret Classic,” it would merely be another unique cosmic-level lifeform, comparable to the Golden-Horned Great Beast. Temporarily ruled out!

Energy-based special life? Small in size, ruled out.

Rock-based? Plant-based?

These two categories had some options.

Among plant-based life forms, Luo Feng valued the ‘World Tree’ the most. Among rock-based life forms, Luo Feng valued the ‘Lihuo Mountain’ the most.

“The Lihuo Mountain ranks third in my candidates. The first is the World Tree, the second is the Zuxing Tree; the first two are both tree-type special life forms.” Luo Feng shook his head inwardly. Compared to the World Tree, the second candidate ‘Zuxing Tree’ was clearly inferior, and the third candidate ‘Lihuo Mountain’ was slightly worse than the Zuxing Tree.

Luo Feng’s primary selection criterion… was size!

The World Tree, Zuxing Tree, and Lihuo Mountain were all special life forms of enormous size.

The failure to cultivate the third clone dealt a heavy blow to Luo Feng, but soon he recovered. Since the World Tree couldn’t be cultivated, what kind of clone should he cultivate?

“I need to consider carefully,” Luo Feng murmured. “I’m stuck in the Jiuyou World now, carrying three treasures on me, each of which must not be lost, especially the tower bead! First, I should have the Mosha Clan clone rescue me and get out of here.”

Inside the Primordial Secret Domain, within one of the countless palaces encircled by the Qianbao River.

Swoosh.

The Mosha Clan clone appeared out of nowhere inside the grand hall.

“Master,” King Tianzhen bowed respectfully, his heart filled with confusion. He had assumed the master would remain in seclusion for an extended period, hence he had given orders to prevent any disturbances. Yet, to his surprise, the master emerged so swiftly.

“Hmph.” The Mosha Clan clone’s eyes still showed resentment.

“Take me to Hua Stone Island.” The Mosha Clan clone quickly summoned a servant. Within two caves on Hua Stone Island were hidden communication rings disguised as rocks. Each communication ring contained several tokens, each belonging to a different servant.

“Yes, sir.”

The alien servant respectfully replied.

Buzz~~~

Golden light shone, bathing in the golden glow, the Mosha Clan clone already saw the vast ocean of the Divine Kingdom at the other end of the passage.

“Swoosh!” He directly teleported away.

Hua Stone Island in the Jiuyou Space-Time.

As soon as the Mosha Clan clone appeared on Hua Stone Island, he instantly teleported downward toward the ‘Jiuyou Sea.’ He could clearly sense the location of his main body, so naturally, he tried to get as close as possible.

“Rumble~~~” In the deep sea, seawater surged, each drop as heavy as a mountain.

The Mosha Clan clone appeared out of nowhere in the seawater.

“The main body is right below,” the Mosha Clan clone looked down. “I can sense the exact location.”

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

The Mosha Clan clone continuously teleported downward, approaching rapidly. After only three teleportations, he reached the very bottom of the entire Jiuyou Ocean. At the bottom of the Jiuyou Ocean… endless streams of blood-red mist were rising, bubbling and steaming like boiling water vapor. The mighty aura it emitted rivaled that of a Cosmic Sovereign, causing the Mosha Clan clone to change expression slightly.

“I can’t teleport any further down,” the Mosha Clan clone frowned slightly. “These blood-red mists have completely suppressed spatial fluctuations.”

“Judging from the cosmic coordinates, I’m nearly six light-days away from the main body!” The Mosha Clan clone felt anxious inwardly. Six light-days—it would take light six days to fly there. With his innate secret art ‘Domain,’ each time he could advance up to tens of thousands of kilometers. Even if he advanced hundreds of times per second, it would still take two or three days to arrive.

That’s assuming…

There are no dangers or obstacles within these blood-red mists.

“But judging from the appearance, it doesn’t seem safe.” The Mosha Clan clone looked down at the churning blood-red mist. Although the Jiuyou seawater was incredibly heavy, it couldn’t penetrate the range of the blood-red mist.

“Let’s give it a shot.”

“After all, failure only means some energy loss.” Without hesitation, the Mosha Clan clone dove straight into the blood-red mist below. He didn’t directly use his innate secret art ‘Domain,’ but instead used the most basic flying method.

As soon as he touched the blood-red mist, the Mosha Clan clone felt an incredibly terrifying resistance.

“Chi chi chi~~” The Mosha Clan clone forced himself forward, but the ‘resistance’ from the blood-red mist was absurdly strong. The deeper he flew, the more exaggerated the resistance became. When the Mosha Clan clone had barely drilled in less than two meters, he was completely stuck in the blood-red mist, unable to move forward even a bit.

He couldn’t even retreat!

“What terrifying resistance,” the Mosha Clan clone’s expression changed slightly. “If other powerhouses tried to force their way in without my innate secret art ‘Domain,’ they would be completely immobilized once they got deep into the blood-red mist. No wonder this is the territory of the ‘Jiuyou Lord’; within his domain, the Jiuyou Lord is invincible.”

The Mosha Clan clone immediately activated his innate secret art ‘Domain.’

Swoosh!

No matter how much resistance there was, the universe itself is a combination of ‘time and space,’ with every inch of space.

The Mosha Clan clone instantly transformed into spatial essence, then reformed as the Mosha Clan clone, instantly advancing tens of thousands of kilometers.

“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”

The Mosha Clan clone began frantically using his innate secret art ‘Domain,’ advancing hundreds of times per second, furiously pushing downward! However, everywhere he passed… was an endless expanse of blood-red mist, with absurdly immense resistance! The Mosha Clan clone couldn’t budge it at all!

“I can clearly sense the main body is right below me, directly overhead.” The Mosha Clan clone could sense it clearly.

“Faster, faster, faster.”

The Mosha Clan clone frantically used his innate secret art. Although it was exhausting, after continuously using it for six hours, he only rested for twenty minutes before continuing to advance downward repeatedly.

As the Mosha Clan clone struggled to traverse the Jiuyou World, within the Jiuyou World, amidst the massive encircling crowd of native warriors, three powerful figures flew in from afar—the Prince and his two Cosmic Sovereign subordinates.

“Your Highness.”

The Cosmic Sovereign general in midair respectfully saluted.

“Greetings, Your Highness.” More than a thousand warriors in the distant space knelt down, showing utmost reverence.

“Hahaha…” The Prince smiled. “A mere immortal outsider has caused such a commotion in my territory. Haha, if any Cosmic Sovereign encounters him, they must not kill him—deliver him to me personally. As for the other soldiers, they may attack with full force.”

“Orders… commence the encirclement!”

The Prince commanded.

“Yes, sir!”

The Blood-Horned General immediately responded respectfully. At the same time, the Prince’s command was transmitted through the virtual world to the other eight generals. With the orders from the nine generals, the long-prepared encirclement finally began to close in.
