“It does require some,” Luo Feng also smiled.
“How much exactly?” Tian Xuan, the leader with dark red skin, picked up the nearby wine glass, took a gentle sip, and then looked at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng paused slightly, “If they are all corpses of insect race at the peak of World God level, ones like the Tiger Beetle Clan which are relatively decent, around ten million corpses should suffice.”
“Ten million, at the peak of World God level?” Tian Xuan, who was savoring his wine, abruptly stopped, his crimson eyes scrutinizing Luo Feng.
The silver-robed attendant standing behind Tian Xuan was also greatly shocked, staring at the black-haired youth before him, “This Luo Feng is indeed bold. He dares to plan to purchase ten million insect race corpses at the peak of World God level. That’s almost the upper transaction limit my master can approve at once!”
“Fortunately, it’s still within my authority. If it were any more, it would require joint approval from other supervisors,” Tian Xuan put down his wine glass.
“In that case, I’ll trouble King Longque,” Luo Feng inwardly exhaled in relief.
Saying ten million insect race corpses meant ten million complete corpses, but almost all of them coming from the battlefield would be incomplete. Usually, a few incomplete corpses combined could count as one complete one. After all, those purchasing insect race corpses were almost always powerful humans who possessed insect race hives, and they were all aiming to cultivate a large number of insect race warriors.
There was no strict requirement for the completeness of the corpses.
However—
“As per what Yilina said, once consumed, five or six complete corpses of the Tiger Beetle Clan could cultivate a living Tiger Beetle warrior. If I obtain ten million corpses, assembling a million World God-level army should be no problem,” Luo Feng’s heart felt a stone drop, because the resources and energy required to cultivate a World God-level insect race warrior were staggering.
Assuming the use of ordinary Grade A metal,
Even hundreds of Earth-sized metal quantities, supplemented with an equivalent amount of low-grade blood and low-grade gel, might not be enough to cultivate a single insect race warrior at the peak of World God level!
World God!
Under normal natural development, only one World God would emerge from a thousand galaxies. Even with the guidance of super experts, the probability might only increase tenfold, yet it still illustrated how rare World Gods were. A single World God could cause planetary-scale extinction… Thus, the resources required to cultivate a single insect race warrior at the peak of World God level could be easily imagined.
Fortunately, Luo Feng was asking for corpses of insect race warriors at the peak of World God level. If he had requested corpses at the peak of Domain Lord level, the number required would likely increase by ten thousand times.
That would be one trillion insect race corpses at the peak of Domain Lord level!
…
Over an hour later.
Tian Xuan, the leader with dark red skin, left the luxurious restaurant with his silver-robed attendant and dozens of handsome men and beautiful women who were Immortal-level beings.
At the top floor of the restaurant,
Luo Feng looked down through the floor-to-ceiling windows. This was the 9822nd floor, and the distance from the top to the ground was about a hundred kilometers. Yet Luo Feng could still clearly see the continuous flow of people on the streets below, humans of various races, with bizarre and varied appearances.
“Your Highness, congratulations,” Dylan smiled. “With King Longque’s personal agreement, there’s absolutely no problem. By the way, Your Highness, who are you purchasing so many insect race corpses for?”
“For myself,” Luo Feng replied.
“Eh?”
Dylan’s eyes flashed with light, then he smiled, “Although you possess an insect hive, you can’t control it at all. Why are you getting so many insect race corpses now? Insect corpses will rot if left for too long.”
Only Immortals can exist eternally.
Even World God corpses do decay.
“That’s exactly why I need insect race corpses at the peak of World God level,” Luo Feng smiled faintly. “The higher the power, the slower the corpse decays! The corpses of ordinary apprentices decay within ten days or half a month, while Cosmic-level corpses decay after several decades or centuries. A World God-level corpse at peak power might decay partially even after ten thousand years, and only the bones remain after tens of thousands of years. After hundreds of thousands of years, the bones of a World God would finally decay completely. This is for humans. Insects have a different body structure; their outer layers are mostly scales and armor, which can last much longer!”
“Moreover!”
“If not maintained, freezing the corpses in ice can delay decay by hundreds or even thousands of times,” Luo Feng smiled faintly. “Even if stored for ten thousand years, World God-level insect race corpses, if frozen, will absolutely not decay.”
Dylan nodded slightly.
“Besides, even if I don’t use them, I can resell them in the future,” Luo Feng’s eyes brightened. “Moreover, since I possess an insect hive, I will surely try every means to control it! In my plan, I won’t stay at the Domain Lord level for more than ten thousand years… Once I reach the peak of World God level, I will definitely find a way to control the insect hive.”
“You think far ahead, Your Highness,” Dylan smiled.
Luo Feng glanced at Dylan.
Previously, he had told the Ape Prince Purple Lightning Marquis that he was purchasing for a senior. However, Dylan had been following him closely and was essentially of the same lineage, belonging to the Zhenyan Clan! Dylan probably knew most of the Immortal-level beings Luo Feng knew. Lying to Dylan… would surely be exposed in the future.
So he decided to be honest.
Besides, Dylan had been sent by Zhenyan to protect him, and would report everything Luo Feng did back to Zhenyan.
Zhenyan was his teacher.
Except for his most important secrets, he would try not to deceive others if possible.
“Think far ahead? How can I compete with the most outstanding human talents without thinking far ahead? If I only focus on the present, I might be surpassed in the future,” Luo Feng smiled faintly. “For example, I’ve already purchased soul-related secret techniques and started cultivating them long ago, all in preparation for the day when I can control the insect hive.”
Dylan’s eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile, “Your Highness’s strategy is admirable. When the day comes that Your Highness possesses the insect hive and forms an insect race World God army… well, Your Highness, I’ll be eagerly awaiting that day.”
“Haha…” Luo Feng laughed.
In fact, he had already mastered the third layer of the Ten Thousand Hearts Soul Control Secret Technique and controlled the insect hive. Once he obtained enough World God-level insect race corpses, he could immediately begin constructing his insect race World God army!
“With a World God army at my disposal, I can venture into dangerous places in the universe,” Luo Feng looked forward to it.
…
The Yimo Starship continuously advanced through the dark universe.
…
In the ninth month after Luo Feng left Earth, within the virtual universe, in the Nine-Star Bay of the Black Dragon Island.
Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder sat around a table.
“Recently, I tried to contact you, big brother, but couldn’t get through at all,” Luo Feng lifted the teapot, poured tea into three cups, the amber tea flowing like silk threads into the cups. “It seems like you turned off your network message reception?”
“Forget about contacting big brother, three. I’ve been trying to find you for over a hundred years, but how many times have I actually reached you?” The bald Thunder in white robes chimed in. “Only when you returned to Nine-Star Bay a few times did we meet. Other times, when I tried to find you, you were always offline. Same with big brother! In the past hundred years, I’ve only managed to contact him once. You two… are always busy!”
“Don’t talk about us.”
Luo Feng looked at Thunder, “Second brother, it seems like you haven’t been on Earth for the past two hundred years. You originally said you’d stay and guard Earth.”
Luo Feng and Thunder bantered back and forth.
Beside them, Hong held his tea cup, smiling as he watched the two of them play around, sipping his tea quietly.
“Big brother, three has been to the homeland of the Golden Horn Clan in the past hundred years,” the bald Thunder in white robes said. “The Golden Horn Clan is another race different from us humans. But they are considered our vassals. Oh, and don’t spread the news that the Golden Horn Clan is a human vassal. We know, that’s enough.”
“Hmm.” Hong nodded.
Luo Feng and Thunder exchanged glances.
Because of the incident with Ji Qing, Hong appeared calm on the surface, but the two brothers naturally knew that Hong had indeed been deeply affected. Later, Hong joined the elite training camp of the Axe Fighting Arena. After that… Luo Feng and Thunder could only contact their older brother occasionally at the beginning, but later they had never been able to reach him.
Over a hundred years had passed without any contact.
“Big brother.” Luo Feng spoke up.
“Hmm?” Hong looked over.
“In the past hundred years, what have you been doing, big brother?” Luo Feng asked.
“Chaos City!” Hong replied.
“Chaos City?” Luo Feng was taken aback, and the white-robed Thunder beside him also widened his eyes.
Luo Feng had been to Chaos City, so Thunder also clearly understood what Chaos City meant… Entering Chaos City was extremely difficult.
“Yes, after the incident on Qiongyu Star, I went to the top-tier elite training camp. During those years in the camp, I stood out and made significant progress. Eventually, I was recruited into the core layer of the Axe Fighting Arena!” Hong smiled faintly. “Being recruited into the core layer, our batch of top-tier elites also had the opportunity to cultivate in the Chaos City of the Primordial Universe. The cultivation time was the same as yours, third brother, equivalent to 100 years in the outside world. I just left the Primordial Universe yesterday and am now heading to a secret realm of the Axe Fighting Arena. I’m currently on a spaceship, connecting my consciousness to the cosmic network to meet with second and third brothers.”
“Wow.” Thunder’s eyes widened.
“Wow.” Luo Feng also exclaimed.
Wow indeed.
This elder brother Hong was just too low-key!
“You’re really calm, big brother, entering the core layer of the Axe Fighting Arena. Even in the entire Qianwu Cosmic Nation, the talent competition might not even produce one selected candidate! Now that you’ve entered the core layer of the Axe Fighting Arena, you didn’t tell anyone and remained so calm. You didn’t even contact anyone during the hundred years in Chaos City.” Thunder widened his eyes.
“It’s just some fortunate events that allowed me to walk faster and more steadily on my cultivation path. What’s there to be proud of?” Hong said casually.
“You’re impressive.” Thunder was speechless.
“Big brother, are you mocking me, mocking me for being too proud?” Luo Feng looked at Hong.
“Haha…”
Hong laughed, “Alright, it’s just a small matter. Moreover, even after being selected from the top-tier elites across the human territories of the entire universe, the few chosen to enter the core layer are still only on the outermost edge of the core. It’s equivalent to the members of the Doomsday Secret Realm in your Virtual Universe Company. It’s really not worth being proud. If one day I can enter the innermost ‘Axe Secret Realm’ and become a member of the Axe Secret Realm, then I’ll definitely celebrate grandly.”
Luo Feng and Thunder exchanged glances and smiled.
…
Traveling from the Milky Way of the Qianwu Cosmic Nation to the remote Mulong Star Region was indeed very far.
After a journey of one year and two months, Luo Feng and his companions finally arrived at the Mulong Star Region.
