Golden mist enveloped this continent, a land entirely forged from metal.
Above the continent,
An oval egg floated in midair.
“Crack, crack,” the shell gradually developed fissures. As an arm stretched out from the eggshell, finally, the shell shattered. A completely naked, muscular man with short black hair floated in the air. His eyes were deep as the sea; being stared at by him evoked an inexplicable sense of fear.
Standing at 1.78 meters tall, though slightly lean, he was like hundred-refined steel, exuding infinite strength!
The black-haired man surveyed the golden continent.
“Is this my inner world?” A strange gleam flickered in his eyes.
Whoosh!
He vanished into thin air, and at the same moment—
Boom!
A golden-horned beast, 320 meters long and covered entirely in black scales, appeared on the continent.
…
Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, amidst surging underwater currents.
The golden-horned beast instantly vanished, and at the same moment, the naked black-haired man appeared.
“Finally, finally I’ve transformed back,” Luo Feng’s eyes shone with unrestrained excitement. “Origin Core!” With a thought, his consciousness entered his body and clearly saw, at the central point between his heart and lungs—precisely at the Dantian—his Origin Core slowly rotating, covered in strange golden patterns, emitting a faint golden glow.
The Origin Core was extremely small.
When the golden-horned beast was 180 meters long, the core was only about twenty centimeters in diameter. Now, in Luo Feng’s human form, its diameter was merely a few millimeters.
“Genetic Origin Power! Mental Power!”
With a thought from Luo Feng.
Boom!
A massive surge of golden mist was transported from his inner world into his body, rapidly gathering at the Dantian in his abdomen, rotating and condensing—supplied by the vast cosmic energy of the metal attribute from his inner world, miniature planets began to form in Luo Feng’s Dantian—one, two, three!
Star Level Three!
At present, Luo Feng’s body could only withstand this much. To improve further, he must gradually strengthen his body and enhance his Dantian’s capacity.
Boom!
At the same time, Luo Feng’s soul, already at Star King Level Three within the Origin Core, was furiously absorbing cosmic energy from the outside. As soon as the cosmic energy was drawn into the Origin Core, it was immediately refined—only undergoing basic refinement, reaching the level of Star Level Five or Six, before rapidly exiting the Origin Core and surging into Luo Feng’s head, into his Consciousness Sea.
The surging mental power continued to accumulate, soon undergoing a qualitative transformation, forming a soul planet.
After about half an hour, it finally ceased.
Within the Consciousness Sea…
A crimson planet sat at the center, with five other planets revolving around it.
Star Level Six!
“Luofeng, your physical body is at Star Level Three, but your previous special ability was the ‘Diamond Body,’ so your physical strength can rival that of a Star Level Four warrior. Bearing a Star Level Six mental power planet is already the limit,” Babata said.
“I understand.”
Luo Feng smiled and opened his eyes. A silver-stream guardian flew over, and from it, Luo Feng received a spatial ring. Using his mental power to create a protective barrier against the seawater, he took out a set of clothes and dressed.
“Mo Yun,” Luo Feng looked into the distance.
Suddenly, thousands of meters of blood-red vines shrank rapidly underwater, directly flying toward Luo Feng! Once bonded, Mo Yun Vine would have only one master for life. If Luo Feng’s soul were to dissipate, the vine would die too.
Whoosh!
The vine shrank and merged into Luo Feng’s skin, disappearing from sight. A wave of emotion came from the vine’s consciousness: “Happy, happy…”
“It seems I am the same as before,” Luo Feng sighed. “But essentially, my soul core is now the Origin Core and the inner world.”
His physical body was born from the inner world.
Thus, Luo Feng’s current human body, like the golden-horned beast’s body, had the same vital point—the Origin Core soul and the inner world! Even if his human head were destroyed, he would not die. As long as there was energy supply, he could regenerate, just like the golden-horned beast.
“Luofeng, I told you to choose another race for your clone, but you insisted on being an Earthling.”
“The evolution speed of the golden-horned beast’s body will be far faster than your Earthling body!”
“Although the inner world supplies metallic cosmic energy, your body’s genetic quality is too poor. No matter how much energy you have, if you can’t absorb it, what can you do?” Babata clearly still had some dissatisfaction.
Luo Feng smiled.
He understood this logic. The golden-horned beast’s improvement relied on the ‘inner world’; once the inner world expanded a level, the golden-horned beast would immediately absorb massive energy and rapidly rise a level. Thus, the golden-horned beast and the inner world could maintain the same pace.
But Luo Feng’s human body, compared to the golden-horned beast, was far inferior! Evolution could not keep up.
“It’s okay. I shouldn’t be too greedy,” Luo Feng smiled. “At least now I am a Star Level Six mental power user!”
In his human form, Luo Feng was a Star Level Six mental power user.
Once he used the golden-horned beast’s body, that was a Star King Level Three golden-horned beast!
In over a year, he had advanced from Star King Level One to Three. That was pretty fast. The higher the level, the slower the progress, especially when breaking through to Cosmic Level, which would take the most time.
Boom!
Luo Feng stepped on the Dark Cloud Shuttle and rapidly broke through the seawater.
…
High in the sky.
Luo Feng rode the Dark Cloud Shuttle, flying toward the European continent, his expression grim.
“Luofeng, ever since the battle with the Devourer, many of the world’s top warriors have fallen. The Hall of War Gods has been sealed, leaving the realm leaderless. Without absolute powerhouses like Hong, Thunder God, or yourself to maintain order, chaos has erupted across the lands.”
And the fifth Speaker back then, Atkin, has now become the strongest of all.
Atkin and Yan Hai were originally councilors enshrined by the HR Alliance. However, after the fall of the strongest warrior of the European Union—also the most powerful figure in the HR Alliance, East—Atkin became the leader. Joining forces with Yan Hai, they swiftly took control of the HR Alliance through threats and forceful measures, rallying a group of councilors under their command.
Moreover, Atkin and Yan Hai also befriended Sago Nehru. As a prodigy from the nation of India, Sago Nehru was naturally invited to join the Thunder Dojo and now serves as one of its Inspectors.
“According to the intelligence I’ve gathered through infiltration.”
This faction was originally led by Atkin as the Fifth Speaker, while Yan Hai had once competed for the position of Speaker and failed, yet his strength was on par with Jia Yi. Both of them were extremely powerful. As for Sago Nehru, he is currently the only Planetary-level Spiritual Master on Earth, and the one I once praised as having talent second only to yours.
Luo Feng’s expression was icy cold.
This faction, led by the trio of Atkin, Yan Hai, and Nehru—these are the Three Titans! Under their command are several planetary-level warriors, ranging from first-tier to second-tier council members. They currently stand as the most formidable force on Earth.
Beneath them lies the Extreme Martial Arts Hall! The Extreme Martial Arts Hall is exceptionally united, thanks to its three most loyal personal guards!
“Then, there are the Five Great Powers.”
Lastly, there was the Thunder Dojo! Ever since Thunder God fell into slumber and Nehru joined its ranks, the Thunder Dojo had become a hotbed of intense power struggles and covert schemes.
Luo Feng was secretly astonished as he listened.
Controlling the entire HR Alliance while also infiltrating the Thunderbolt Martial Hall—this force is truly terrifying!
“Through ruthless methods, employing thunderous tactics—whether it be killing or seizing treasures—this faction has already laid the most formidable foundation! No nation dares to provoke them lightly,” said Babata.
Atkin, the mightiest warrior. Nehru, the supreme psychic master.
There is also ‘Yan Hai’, who is quite close to Atkin.
“Did the families of Mohander, East, Tripathi Singh, Jia Yi, or Sokolov suffer any casualties?” Luo Feng certainly hadn’t forgotten the five heroes who had fought alongside him against the Golden Horned Beast.
“More or less, things aren’t as good as before. But no one dares to openly bully the families of the Eight Heroes! Only Mo Handesen’s relatives had it slightly worse—one died, officially reported as a car accident,” said Babata.
Luo Feng’s expression grew even colder.
The struggle for power is utterly brutal. On the surface, there may be peace, but in the shadows, countless lives are lost as new figures rise to prominence.
“Life has gotten slightly better, and without any crises, some trash starts to crawl out of the woodwork!” Luo Feng’s killing intent grew thicker. Influenced by the Golden Horned Beast’s bloodline, he had become far more ruthless than before. “When we were fighting for our lives, they were nowhere to be seen. Now they’re jumping around more eagerly than anyone else. They even dare to threaten the families of fallen heroes and steal their relics.”
“Damn it!”
“Damn it!!!” Luo Feng’s gaze turned icy. “When the tiger is away, the monkeys will play kings. Atkin? Yan Hai? Nehru? All of you—DIE!”
At the Planetary Level Three, Luo Feng stood unrivaled among his peers, capable of slaying Beast Emperors and standing shoulder to shoulder with Hong and Thunder God.
And now, Planetary Rank Six…
Killing those people was as easy as stepping on ants!
……
European Union, Paris Base City, the sky is just beginning to lighten at dawn.
Dressed in a tailored suit, his once salt-and-pepper hair now impeccably styled, Yan Hai sat on the expansive third-floor terrace of his villa, a glass of fine wine in hand, his mood nothing short of magnificent.
“Tsk tsk.”
After taking a sniff, Yan Hai seemed to savor the moment, closing his eyes in delight before tilting his head back and drinking it down.
“Exhilarating,” Yan Hai sighed in pure delight.
He truly cherished his current life. Back during the Great Nirvana Period, Yan Hai had believed that the apocalypse would be a dream world for powerful individuals like him—a time to live like an emperor. By his side, he had gathered a pack of equally ruthless allies, such as the vulture-like Li Yao. Yet, that damned Jia Yi, with his overwhelming sense of justice, had always been a thorn in his side!
The two were locked in a fierce battle of wills.
The two of them were the top powerhouses of Huaxia, their strengths nearly equal. Yet in the end, he was forced by Jia Yi to abandon his homeland and flee to the distant European continent. For decades, he dared not set foot in Huaxia again! But now, he could come and go as he pleased, doing whatever he wished within its borders!
Jia Yi is dead! The four Speakers have fallen! Even that monstrously powerful Luo Feng is no more!
Only the Fifth Speaker, Atkin, remained—his close friend and ally!
“Fine wine, truly fine wine,” Yan Hai beamed with delight, pouring himself another cup.
Those days were so suffocating, but now, it’s pure exhilaration!
“Hmm?” Yan Hai’s body trembled slightly as he slowly turned to look behind him, his heart filled with terror. “How is this possible? How can it be? Thanks to the Mu Ya Crystal, I’ve already reached Planetary Level Three! Even if Adkins is stronger than me, there’s no way he could sneak up behind me without me noticing! On this Earth, no such person should exist… No way!!!”
Roaring within the heart.
Yet Yan Hai slowly turned around nonetheless, his gaze sharp and unyielding, fixed intently on that very spot. He had to know… just who it was!
Dressed in military-style trousers and a simple tank top, with short black hair, he exuded an air of formidable efficiency. His piercingly cold eyes completed the striking image.
“You… you…”
Yan Hai’s eyes widened in astonishment.
“No, no…” Yan Hai’s face turned crimson, his expression as if he’d seen a ghost. “Impossible! You…”
“Don’t look so horrified. A clear conscience fears no midnight knock—I am Luo Feng, and I’ve come to claim your life!” The icy voice rang out.
Boom!
Yan Hai felt a thunderous roar within his soul, instantly shattering it to pieces. As his spirit scattered into oblivion, his body went limp and collapsed to the ground with a resounding thud.
“Hmph.” Luo Feng cast a cold glance. “You’re the first.”
Whoosh!
The figure had already reached the distant horizon.
