Earth, Asia, Hongning Base City.
“Brother Three, why did you come to visit me today?” Hong, still dressed in black, asked.
“Brother One, didn’t you ask me last time to purchase some Life Fruits?” Luo Feng sat across from Hong, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and his eyes lit up. “Mmm, excellent tea.”
“Life Fruits?” Hong’s expression turned expectant.
He had seen Luo Feng’s Moyun Vine gain a tremendous power boost after consuming Life Fruits.
“I didn’t manage to buy any Life Fruits, but I did purchase 100 Lanke Fruits,” Luo Feng quickly explained. “The effects of the Lanke Fruits are more gentle. Your Moyun Vine will definitely be able to absorb them. If you consume one Lanke Fruit every ten days, over the course of three years, after finishing all 100 fruits, I guarantee your Moyun Vine will reach the third or fourth Cosmic Stage.”
“Oh?” Hong’s face showed surprise and delight.
His Moyun Vine was inherently inferior compared to Luo Feng’s.
Even Luo Feng’s Moyun Vine had only reached the second Cosmic Stage after consuming a Life Fruit.
“Brother, the main reason is that during this auction, I spent a lot of money trying to acquire a psychic weapon, so I couldn’t afford any Life Fruits,” Luo Feng apologized. “Of course, when it comes to cultivating plant life, these 100 Lanke Fruits combined are no worse than a single Life Fruit.”
“Haha… Enough, I understand,” Hong laughed. “We brothers don’t need to be so formal.”
Luo Feng also smiled.
Then, with a flick of his hand, he produced a box and placed it directly on the table in front of him. With a “snap,” the box opened, revealing 100 Lanke Fruits inside.
“They look extraordinary indeed. No wonder they’re rare fruits from the cosmos,” Hong’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
“Of course. The price of these 100 Lanke Fruits is comparable to that of an entire galaxy,” Luo Feng frowned slightly and asked in confusion, “By the way, why haven’t I seen Brother Two recently?”
“Thunder God? He received the inheritance of the Nacab Sovereign. In the past two years, he’s been trained constantly by ‘Mist Master.’ ” Hong’s face showed a slight smile. “His power has increased quite rapidly. Fortunately, I have the secret techniques from the Yimo Star lineage you gave me. In the past two years, I’ve also made some breakthroughs. Otherwise, I might have been surpassed by Brother Two.”
Luo Feng nodded in understanding.
The secret techniques of the Yimo Star lineage were not inferior. After all, the Master of Yimo Star had nine immortal warriors under his command, most of whom were martial cultivators! How could the secret inheritance of an immortal warrior be weak?
The only difference was that Thunder God had the artificial intelligence “Mist Master” to teach him, and perhaps some treasures to assist his cultivation.
Hong, on the other hand, could only study and comprehend on his own.
However, Hong’s comprehension had always been exceptional. Back when Mingyu evaluated them, he said that both Luo Feng and Thunder God belonged to the third-tier elite geniuses, while Hong was a first-tier elite genius. Of course, now more than two years had passed, and especially after Luo Feng’s Golden-Horned Beast reached the Cosmic Stage and began comprehending the Origin of Gold, he had made tremendous progress.
“By the way, Brother Three. Lately, there have been more and more experts appearing in the Kill Arena’s Battle Space. I don’t know what’s going on,” Hong frowned.
“More?” Luo Feng was taken aback.
Recently, he had been attending auctions and hadn’t kept up with the situation in the Kill Arena’s Battle Space.
“Yes, in the past, I could easily defeat many people, but now, a large group of genius warriors have suddenly appeared. And these people rarely showed up in the Kill Arena’s Battle Space before,” Hong said. “It’s understandable if one or two geniuses suddenly appeared, but so many at once? I feel something is happening.”
“Oh?” Luo Feng was puzzled but didn’t know the reason.
…
Luo Feng didn’t have the leisure to investigate the Battle Space, immediately focusing instead on nurturing his second clone.
…
Above the vast metallic continent, golden mist enveloped the atmosphere. Around the continent, thick golden mist also swirled.
The metal continent, six thousand kilometers in both length and width, had a section of black, strange skin suddenly appear in the midair above its center. This piece of skin was actually just a small portion cut from the Mosha Clan skin Luo Feng had purchased.
“Gift—Clone, nurture!”
With a thought, the entire world began to tremble. Rumbling sounds echoed as the continental plates shook.
Hiss!
The eerie black hide dissipated instantly, leaving only a single droplet of peculiar fluid in its wake. At once, the golden mist within the trembling metallic continent realm began converging frenziedly toward the epicenter. In the blink of an eye, it engulfed the residual droplet left by the vanished black hide. Within moments, it had morphed into an oval-shaped golden egg.
“Now the nurturing has begun. I wonder how long it will take to complete,” Luo Feng mused.
The original owner of this black skin, as Luo Feng learned from his inquiries during payment to the auction house, was a Mosha Clan member at the second Cosmic Stage. That was precisely why Luo Feng could now nurture it.
The secret technique “Clone,” a gift of the Golden-Horned Beast, could only be used three times in a lifetime.
This was the second time!
“The Mosha Clan member’s nurturing is millions or even tens of millions of times more difficult than nurturing a human clone. And previously, my inner world was at the Stellar Stage, while now it’s at the sixth Cosmic Stage. My inner world is now millions of times stronger,” Luo Feng calculated in his mind. “Once the nurturing begins, I can estimate how long it will take.”
In theory, the stronger and more noble the original owner’s bloodline, the longer the nurturing process would take.
However…
“What a strange thing.”
“I originally guessed it would take decades or even centuries, but unexpectedly, it only requires three years and nine months,” Luo Feng thought. After nurturing for a day and receiving the arcane feedback from his inner world, he completely understood the Mosha Clan member’s nurturing process.
Mosha Clan members were not flesh-and-blood beings!
The laws governing the nurturing of flesh-and-blood life did not apply here.
As an energy being, as long as the “Life Core” was formed within the inner world, the Life Core could automatically emit energy to shape a humanoid form! Moreover, as a characteristic of energy beings… they could not only transform into human form but also into various other shapes, changing effortlessly and infinitely.
“Nurturing the Life Core is sufficient. This Mosha Clan member is indeed peculiar,” Luo Feng mused.
…
Once the gift secret technique “Clone” began nurturing, Luo Feng no longer needed to focus on it. He simply needed to wait patiently.
…
Winter soon gave way to the Spring Festival.
The entire Chinese nation was jubilant. Even after the Great Rebirth, even after the attacks by the Devouring Beasts, the Chinese people would never forget their most important festival—the Spring Festival. Luo Feng also rarely paused his cultivation to spend quality time with his family during these few days of celebration.
On the morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month.
Outside Jiangnan Base City, in a desolate and ruined city within the wilderness area, just as dawn was breaking, a figure suddenly appeared on the rooftop of a 28-story building that had been abandoned for decades.
Dressed in deep red battle armor, wearing battle boots, and carrying a peculiar dark golden long staff on his back.
This dark golden long staff was over two meters long, requiring both hands to grasp its width, with a diameter of about 15 centimeters. The entire dark golden staff faintly exuded a breath that made people’s hearts tremble. Occasionally releasing its aura was enough to cause numerous monsters in the ruined city’s steel and concrete jungle to flee in panic.
No monsters dared to approach.
“Carrying this Yanshen weapon feels like carrying a mountain,” Luo Feng felt the pressure from the Yanshen weapon.
Ordinary first, second, or third-stage psychic weapons could be used immediately.
However, high-level weapons were different. For example, fifth-stage weapons required “mental nurturing” first to imprint one’s spiritual mark on the Yanshen weapon before its full power could be unleashed.
“Carefully nurture it. Once the nurturing is complete and the Yanshen weapon truly recognizes you as its master, then you can begin training,” Babata instructed.
“I understand.”
Luo Feng was worried that nurturing at home might accidentally affect his family. Therefore, he specifically came to the wilderness area.
“Yanshen weapon, Nine Heavens Yanshen,” Luo Feng sat cross-legged, placing the dark golden staff across his knees. “Based on my current level, I should be able to master the first level.”
The Yanshen weapon had nine levels, each more powerful than the last. Regarded as both the strongest and weakest divine weapon, without being a true genius, it would be better to use ordinary psychic weapons.
The first level was called “Illusory Sword Style.”
The second level was called “Sky Piercing Style.”
The third level was called “Heavenly Sword Style.”
The fourth level was called “Great Skill Without Ornamentation.”
The fifth level was called “Spatial Severance.”
The sixth level was called “World Within Self.”
The seventh level was called “A Staff Shaking Heaven and Earth.”
The eighth level was called “Golden Sword Severing the Void.”
The ninth level was called “Mortal Immortal Clash.”
When Luo Feng learned the names of these nine levels, especially seeing the ninth level’s name “Mortal Immortal Clash,” he was extremely excited. Whether it was from the Golden-Horned Beast’s inheritance memories or Babata’s teachings, the leap from Sovereign to Immortal was a massive threshold—a transformation of the soul! A true great leap forward!
An Immortal could easily sweep through Sovereign-level experts at their peak!
Even the Golden-Horned Beast at the peak of the Sovereign level would have to bow its head before an Immortal.
Yet, the ninth level dared to claim “Mortal Immortal Clash,” which was practically defying the heavens.
“Unfortunately, reaching the ninth level is extremely difficult. Throughout the entire human race and numerous cosmic nations, very few have mastered the ninth level. The difficulty of mastering the ninth level might even surpass reaching ‘Immortality,'” Luo Feng sighed. Regardless, at present, he had only scratched the surface of comprehending the Origin of Gold, and he hadn’t even begun to grasp the Spatial Origin Laws. He still needed to work hard.
…
As Luo Feng devoted himself to the Yanshen weapon, on the capital planet of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
Within a floating palace in the capital planet.
“Have you found any information on Luo Feng?” Prince Nine, dressed in royal attire, coldly asked from his throne.
“No, initially, this Luo Feng followed the Sanfu Mountain army out from the Inner Realm. We only found out that he entered the allied forces under Sanfu Mountain’s Mingyu’s command. Other than that, we couldn’t find any more information, not even where he is now,” a servant below respectfully replied.
“Get out!” Prince Bulin roared.
Recently, Prince Bulin’s mood had been terrible, extremely terrible!
In the Inner Realm incident, his grandfather Hagrev was the biggest loser! Not only did he fail to obtain the inheritance crystal ball, but he also nearly lost all his wealth. Additionally, he had offended many Sovereigns from the sacred Black Dragon Mountain!
You must know that during the Inner Realm battle, Bulin commanded over 220,000 troops. Where did these troops come from? Mainly, the Sovereigns from the sacred Black Dragon Mountain supported Hagrev, so they handed over their subordinates to Bulin’s command! These Sovereigns supported Hagrev not without conditions!
Previously, they had made some promises. Although Prince Nine had given other treasures, such as the “D6 Orbital Cannon,” to his grandfather to appease those Sovereigns.
However, the Sovereigns who supported Hagrev numbered over ten! Prince Nine obtained too few other treasures, which were insufficient to distribute. Moreover, Hagrev himself was nearly bankrupt, already in a bad mood. When these Sovereigns came to claim the promised benefits, he flew into a rage, leading to a very unpleasant outcome.
Naturally, Hagrev lost favor within the sacred land.
Hagrev himself didn’t care much about power; for a Sovereign, their own strength was the most important. However…
Hagrev’s loss of favor within the sacred land “Black Dragon Mountain” affected Prince Nine’s status.
“Hmph,” Bulin gritted his teeth. “Do my elder brothers and third brother also want to compete with me?” Thinking about his recent experiences, Bulin’s anger grew even fiercer!
