King Weijing was right. Relying on treasures to dominate temporarily is one thing, but you cannot dominate forever! Even a supreme treasure like the ‘Star Tower’ requires an incredibly astounding level of strength to fully activate, so it’s clear that possessing treasures without sufficient power is useless. Substances like the Feimo venom are of no value at all in battles between beings at the ‘Cosmic Sovereign’ level.
Even the ‘Golden Armor’ worn by the Golden-Horned Giant Beast would shatter instantly under a desperate, god-body-burning strike from King Weijing.
Therefore, items like the Jiang Armor, Wang Armor, and Feimo venom, which previously benefited Luo Feng greatly, would either be phased out or become significantly less effective.
…
After Luo Feng and Venerable Zhenyan jointly experienced a grand feast, the Chaos City Lord summoned Luo Feng for a meeting.
Atop the Thunder Island of the Virtual Universe, before the majestic palace amidst endless currents of energy, the Chaos City Lord gazed down at Thunder Island.
“Teacher.” Luo Feng appeared out of nowhere and respectfully saluted.
The Chaos City Lord turned around, looking at Luo Feng with eyes as deep as starry oceans, and smiled. “You obtained one of the 108 treasures?”
“Yes, it’s a top-grade heavy treasure resembling a flying palace,” Luo Feng replied. “It’s called the Silver Serpent Phantom Ship.”
“The Silver Serpent Phantom Ship?”
After a brief moment of contemplation, the Chaos City Lord couldn’t recall what kind of treasure it was, but he still said, “If it’s a flying palace type, you’ve certainly profited. These types have always been rare and valuable. A top-grade treasure of the ‘flying palace’ type might even be more desirable to Cosmic Sovereigns than the Shiwu Wings I gave you.”
Luo Feng nodded. He already understood this.
“Who left this treasure?” the Chaos City Lord asked further.
“Master of Wine,” Luo Feng answered. “After checking, I discovered he was one of the eight primordial Beast Gods of the Ancestral God Sect during its earliest era.”
“Master of Wine? Chengfeng?” The Chaos City Lord smiled. “I understand now. It was his wine ship. I didn’t expect it to end up in your hands. Master of Wine was an interesting Cosmic Sovereign. As a naturally born Beast God, his power was extremely formidable, but naturally born Beast Gods are destined to be hunted down and attacked. So…”
The Chaos City Lord shook his head with a sigh.
Luo Feng listened with a start.
Naturally born Beast Gods are destined to be hunted? This made Luo Feng recall the ancient vision he had seen in the Blood Luo World years ago. Back then, there was indeed a super existence fighting against the Beast God of the Blood Luo World. From what followed, that Beast God eventually perished.
“Why would they be hunted?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask.
The Chaos City Lord glanced at him and calmly replied, “Naturally born Beast Gods differ from artificially created ones. They are born from the essence of the universe itself, making them natural treasures. Their scales, their hide, their blood—all have extraordinary effects, surpassing even thousands upon thousands of ordinary supreme treasures. The slaying of a naturally born Beast God is a grand feast, a feast for numerous super existences.”
A stunned expression appeared in Luo Feng’s eyes.
“Struggle!
“Struggle for resources, struggle for opportunities.” The Chaos City Lord continued, “Struggle takes many forms. The mutual scheming and fighting among various cosmic races for resources is one form of struggle. The Ancestral God Religion, proclaiming neutrality and non-territorial ambition, achieves independence from all factions. Their apparent non-struggle actually reaches another level of struggle.”
Luo Feng nodded.
Ancient Chinese saying: “Only by not struggling can all under heaven not contend with you!”
However, to attain the state where “none under heaven can rival you,” one must possess immense foundational strength. The reason the Ancestral God Sect became the supreme force in the universe was due to the protection of the Three Ancestral Gods and its adherence to the principle of “impartiality toward all factions and no territorial ambitions,” thereby elevating the nature of its struggle. Through methods such as the “Decree of Inheritance,” the Ancestral God Sect attracted countless geniuses from across the universe. Knowing that the Ancestral God Sect did not engage in power struggles, countless races willingly sent their own geniuses to be nurtured by the sect’s resources.
“In essence, it’s all struggle,” the Chaos City Lord mused. “Ever since the first naturally born Beast God perished and the various cosmic races learned about the many miraculous uses of a naturally born Beast God’s remains, other naturally born Beast Gods were inevitably destined to be hunted. No matter how powerful they are, facing such attacks—even from the universe’s most formidable existences—unless they remain permanently hidden, their demise is almost unavoidable.”
“Take the Blood Luo Crystal you use—it’s one of the treasures left behind by a naturally born Beast God,” the Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng shuddered.
So it was true… the one who perished in the Blood Luo World was indeed a naturally born Beast God.
“Remember this.
“Survival of the fittest,” the Chaos City Lord gazed at Luo Feng. “This is the law of the strong! Among the countless races in the universe, you are an ‘alien’ to every other race. There will be no mercy—only struggle! Therefore, what you must do is continuously acquire resources to enhance your strength. Your strength represents the strength of your race. The true power of a race is composed of its highest-level existences, each one a pillar of the race. You, in the future, hold great promise of becoming one of these pillars.”
Luo Feng nodded.
“Speaking of the Blood Luo Crystal, remember to fuse it to the limit before you break through to Immortality,” the Chaos City Lord instructed. “This will also help you elevate your life’s genetic level in the future. As a Black Warrior, your life’s genetic level has a great chance of reaching a hundred times that of ordinary cosmic life.”
“A hundred times?” Luo Feng was puzzled.
Because of his cultivation of the ‘Nine Heavens Secret Manual,’ his Earthman self’s life genetic level had already reached 48 times, and when activating the Blood Luo power, it reached 480 times! That was already considered quite impressive for a special cosmic life form.
“A hundred times is the limit,” the Chaos City Lord nodded. “Physical strength amplification, a hundred times is the limit. Soul power amplification, a hundred times is the limit. Life genetic level enhancement, a hundred times is also the limit… this is part of the cosmic operational laws, like the speed of light being the fastest in the original universe. These are ironclad rules.”
Luo Feng held his breath.
Whether it was physical strength amplification or soul power amplification, both were extremely rare! For example, the ‘Demon Sound Divine General’s Legacy’ that Luo Feng had accepted was a soul power amplification method, and so far, Luo Feng’s amplification was only a little over 32 times. As for physical strength amplification, Luo Feng had not even encountered such an opportunity.
“The limit is a hundred times?” Luo Feng murmured.
Yes.
A hundred times.
But his life genetic level had already reached 480 times for his Earthman self, and his Golden-Horned Beast avatar was over a thousand times.
“Is there no way to exceed the hundred times genetic level limit?” Luo Feng asked eagerly.
“There is,” the Chaos City Lord nodded.
“What method?” Luo Feng immediately asked.
“Body-snatching,” the Chaos City Lord said. “Snatching the body of a special life form. As long as you body-snatch, you possess the special life’s body, only the soul is changed. Some innate soul-based secret techniques might disappear, but innate physical abilities and genetic levels can be inherited.”
“But it’s difficult,” the Chaos City Lord explained. “Firstly, the life imprint of an Immortal is integrated into every cell fragment. Destroying the life imprint means destroying the entire divine body. Therefore, body-snatching can only be performed on beings below the Immortal level.”
“Secondly…”
“If I were a World Lord wanting to body-snatch a Cosmic-level special life form,” the Chaos City Lord said, “defeating it would be easy, but body-snatching would be difficult. Even if I succeeded, my World Lord soul would place a tremendous burden on the new body. If the body can’t withstand it, it would collapse.”
Luo Feng nodded. The soul and body must be compatible.
For a normal human, a ninth-stage World Lord soul would require at least a seventh-stage World Lord physical body. Otherwise, the soul’s strength would cause the body to collapse.
“You must find a special life body that can withstand your soul,” the Chaos City Lord explained. “But if it can withstand your soul, that means the special life’s strength is very close to yours. Combined with its innate abilities, it might not be you hunting it, but it hunting you.”
“Moreover,” the Chaos City Lord continued, “special lives at the World Lord level rarely leave cosmic secret realms. Even if you encounter one and defeat it, the special life might prefer to self-destruct rather than be body-snatched.”
“In short…”
“Though body-snatching a special life offers many benefits, success is rare,” the Chaos City Lord said. “Very few in the universe can achieve it.”
Luo Feng asked, “Are there other methods?”
“Like you, having the innate ability to create avatars, and cultivating a special life avatar,” the Chaos City Lord replied. “Of course, the special life avatars you can cultivate are generally quite weak.”
Luo Feng nodded immediately.
Yes.
The World Tree couldn’t be cultivated by him. After all, his inner world was from the Golden-Horned Beast, formed by devouring metals into an enormous inner world. The limit of avatars he could cultivate was estimated to be around “a few hundred times” in life level.
“In short, many methods generally rely on special lives,” the Chaos City Lord said.
“Are there other methods?” Luo Feng asked again.
“What other methods could there be?” the Chaos City Lord shook his head. “None!”
The Chaos City Lord hesitated slightly and then added, “Of course, with countless races in the universe, there are some super existences, some secrets still undiscovered, perhaps some methods even unknown to me. But I can be certain, the cosmic operational rules are such, they are fair. Even if there is some heaven-defying method, the cost would be extremely high.”
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
Yes, the ‘Nine Heavens Secret Manual’ was created by the universe’s strongest being, ‘Sitting Mountain Guest,’ after expending immense effort, and even then, it required the priceless ‘Heaven Soul Crystal’ to carry the legacy, just to pass it on. Even so, only one life could receive the information from the ‘Nine Heavens Secret Manual.’ One can imagine how strict the cosmic operational laws are.
“Don’t think too much about it. A hundred times is the limit,” the Chaos City Lord smiled. “Reaching a hundred times is rare in the universe. Many Cosmic Sovereigns have a life genetic level of only ten times. But you are a Black Warrior… already at ten times now, and later with the ‘Beast God’s Blood,’ you can improve even further.”
Luo Feng nodded.
He had originally planned to fuse the Blood Luo Crystal before breaking through to Immortality, so that when he became an Immortal, his divine body could directly reach an extremely high level.
“Go. If you need the Beast God’s Blood, you can directly apply for resources from the Virtual Universe Company,” the Chaos City Lord said.
“Yes.”
Luo Feng respectfully saluted and then withdrew.
…
In the Primordial Secret Realm, inside a palace.
The Mosha Clan avatar sat cross-legged, and within its inner world… the Golden-Horned Beast began another fusion with the Blood Luo Crystal.
