Luo Feng gazed at the colossal Huisuo Beast in the distance, crouched as if it were a mountain. Memories of billions of humans and three hundred thousand cosmic warriors in the imperial capital star vanishing into ashes flashed through his mind: “Fate, this is fate. The weak are destined to be enslaved; even the proudest spirit is of no use.”
“Power!”
“Only by becoming powerful can one control fate.” Luo Feng stared fixedly at the Huisuo Beast, determined to etch this image into his memory forever.
If one day he appeared as a Blood-Ancient Beast clone and were captured by some supreme being, he would probably be treated like a pet.
“Absolutely not!” Luo Feng murmured silently.
“Your Highness, you wait here. I will take the clan leader’s personal letter to see the elder and report the matter in detail. If the elder agrees, Your Highness will be allowed to enter the Holy Land to observe and comprehend the Holy Stele,” Elder Sifanqi said with a smile.
Luo Feng took a deep breath and replied with a smile, “Elder Sifanqi, I appreciate your trouble.”
“Haha.”
Elder Sifanqi turned back with a laugh and glanced at Kashna, “Kashna, stay by the prince’s side. Don’t wander off.”
“Yes, Master,” Kashna replied, though his eyes kept darting toward the towering Huisuo Beast.
Elder Sifanqi shook his head slightly, then transformed into a golden beam of light, swiftly flying toward the Elder’s Divine Palace. He arrived directly at the palace gates, standing there only briefly before entering the palace.
Luo Feng and the others remained at the foot of the mountain.
“You’re quite interested in the Huisuo Beast?” Luo Feng asked Kashna.
“Yeah,” Kashna nodded eagerly, grinning, “The Huisuo Beast can defeat ordinary immortal gods with its peak World Lord power. It’s amazing. This is also the only space beast in our entire Rasao World. If I don’t observe it carefully now, there won’t be another chance once it dies in the future.”
“Then let’s get a closer look,” Luo Feng said.
“Eh—” Kashna was taken aback.
But Luo Feng had already started walking toward the Huisuo Beast with Dylan and others.
…
A short while later.
Luo Feng stood in an open field. Ahead, guards had surrounded the area where the Huisuo Beast was kept.
“Human, please do not advance further, or you will be attacked by this confinement secret formation,” a man in distinctive dark golden battle armor warned, his tone friendly due to Luo Feng’s human identity.
“Confinement secret formation?”
Luo Feng looked into the distance.
Around the Huisuo Beast, for nearly a thousand kilometers, there was an almost circular pattern of strange secret markings. The complex markings were entirely engraved in the outer regions, giving the impression of “drawing a prison on the ground.”
“How complicated these space secret markings are,” Luo Feng frowned slightly.
The Huisuo Beast, crouching and already 620 kilometers tall, was bound within a range of nearly a thousand kilometers, just like a normal human confined within a cage of two or three meters in diameter—truly a stifling situation. However, due to the black star chains and the confinement secret formation, it could not escape.
“Blood, fur,” Luo Feng observed the already dried black bloodstains and some broken strands of fur inside the confinement formation. These were clearly blood and fur shed by the Huisuo Beast during its struggles.
“Hmm?”
“Fur, bloodstains?” A thought struck Luo Feng.
“This Huisuo Beast is at the peak of the World Lord stage. So, if I can obtain its fur, when I reach the World Lord peak, I could cultivate a Huisuo Beast clone?” Instantly, numerous ideas surfaced in Luo Feng’s mind, considering the feasibility and worthiness of such an endeavor.
Since he only had one inner world, the innate secret art ‘Cloning’ relied on the inner world for cultivation.
Therefore, he was destined to have at most three clones.
Even if he created another Blood-Ancient Beast clone, without another inner world, he wouldn’t gain additional clone slots. It was easy to understand that if gaining another Blood-Ancient Beast clone allowed for more clone slots, then in a cycle, he could create countless clones. Thus, such a scenario was simply impossible.
The Huisuo Beast had only one secret art.
Innate Secret Art—Time Freeze.
This secret art was somewhat similar to the Blood-Ancient Beast’s innate secret art—Enhancement! Both were innate secret arts that could be naturally performed after activating the surface markings. Since it had nothing to do with the inner world… once a Huisuo Beast clone was created, it could still use the ‘Time Freeze’ secret art, an incredibly powerful innate ability.
“Extremely powerful.”
“Time Freeze is an absolutely terrifying secret art, excellent for both attack and escape.” The more Luo Feng thought about it, the more excited he became. If he suddenly used this ability in battle, he could seize the opportunity to kill his opponent.
What an incredibly powerful secret art?
Of course, innate secret arts couldn’t be invincible. Just like a cosmic-level Huisuo Beast using ‘Time Freeze’ couldn’t possibly freeze the time flow of a World Lord expert. This move wasn’t an invincible secret art, just an extremely powerful one—stronger than Luo Feng’s innate ability ‘Enhancement.’
…
“My current strength is insufficient, and my experience is limited. Perhaps in the future, I might have better choices,” Luo Feng gazed at the mountain-like beast within the confinement formation. “But if I can obtain its fur, at least I can keep it as a backup! When I accumulate some options in the future, I can choose the most suitable one.”
“But I can’t go in now.”
Luo Feng frowned inwardly.
Now he was only at the ninth stage of Domain Lord, and he definitely wouldn’t make an early, hasty decision. If he chose the Huisuo Beast too soon and later obtained the gene of some powerful life form that he could also cultivate, wouldn’t he regret it to death? Back then, when he visited the ‘Beast God’ in the Blood-Luo World, Luo Feng clearly understood one thing…
There were still some unique life forms in the universe, and the inheritance memory also recorded some of these unique lives.
These life forms were extremely rare.
Some might have existed only once since the birth of the universe, not even forming a race. However, some powerful beings, like the Beast God, had strength far beyond the World Lord level. The limitation for him in cultivating clones was that the clones could never surpass the original. In other words, the strongest clones he could cultivate would be at the peak of the World Lord level.
The limitation was small but significant.
Only one clone slot remained!
If he wasted it, there would be no other chance.
“Wait.”
“Wait until I reach the peak of Domain Lord, or until I discover an option that truly surprises me and makes me never regret my decision,” Luo Feng murmured to himself.
…
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Luo Feng sensed some commotion from behind and turned his head. He saw a bustling crowd of hundreds of young Blood-Ancient Clan members coming up the mountain path. Among these young Blood-Ancient Clan members, Luo Feng’s sensing ability instantly identified that most of them were at the ninth stage of Domain Lord.
“The human genius is over there.”
“Standing on that side.”
“A Domain Lord ninth-stage genius!”
“Nine million years ago, Sitong once defeated a visiting human genius.”
The group of young Blood-Ancient Clan members was completely filled with a sense of racial honor, each one filled with a strong desire to defeat the human genius! Historically, whenever humans visited, their geniuses were almost always formidable. In the clashes between Blood-Ancient Clan geniuses and human geniuses, humans almost always came out on top.
Yet there were still a few rare victories for the Blood-Ancient Clan. Whenever they won, it was celebrated for a long time.
Because the Blood-Ancient Clan was a subservient race to humans, having served as such for countless years, they naturally felt inferior when facing humans! This psychological inferiority made them feel immense pride whenever a genius emerged from their race who could surpass a human’s peerless genius.
A sense of racial honor!
Faced with this honor, they were no longer afraid of death!
As long as they succeeded!
Then they would truly achieve fame and glory, even more celebrated than becoming an immortal god!
“Human genius, I, Ga’ai, challenge you! If you are a true warrior, accept my challenge!”
“Human, I, Bukando, formally challenge you.”
A group of young Blood-Ancient Clan members rushed to issue challenges, even among themselves, there was a strong sense of rivalry. These youths came from different tribes, some with green skin, some red, some white, some purple, but all shared the same golden mark on their foreheads.
A fighting spirit! A burning desire!
Hundreds of youths looked at Luo Feng, their eyes filled with deep longing, yearning for a battle with Luo Feng!
The opportunity to fight a peerless human genius was rare indeed. Firstly, such visiting human geniuses were already rare, mostly World Lords, and encountering a Domain Lord ninth-stage genius was even rarer. Even if such a genius did arrive… some human geniuses, feeling their strength insufficient, would not accept the challenge.
The challenge must be fair!
This psychological inferiority made the Blood-Ancient Clan people even more strict about fairness! The human genius was at the ninth stage of Domain Lord, so the challenger must also be at the ninth stage of Domain Lord! They would rather have a seventh or eighth-stage Domain Lord than allow a first-stage World Lord to challenge. That would be an insult to them!
“Your Highness,” Dylan smiled at Luo Feng.
“So many challengers,” Luo Feng shook his head, a helpless smile on his face.
This situation was indeed unexpected.
“Please accept my challenge.”
“Peerless human genius, please accept my challenge.” Each of these geniuses could speak standard human interstellar common language, after all, at their level of consciousness, learning the universal language only took a moment.
…
Luo Feng and his companions were surrounded by a group of young Blood-Ancient Clan geniuses. As time passed, more and more young geniuses arrived. Some came to challenge, while others simply came to watch, soon swelling their numbers to several thousand.
“What are you all doing? Gathering below the Divine Palace of our ancestral elder?” A thick, fierce, angry voice roared out.
Luo Feng turned his head.
Thousands of young Blood-Ancient Clan members also turned their heads.
Far away, on the wide passage of the majestic dark golden Divine Palace, a black-skinned youth, over three meters tall, wearing dark golden armor and carrying a long dark golden staff, came charging forward with a large group of palace guards. He roared as he approached, “This is a sacred place of the Divine Palace! How dare you make such noise and chaos here? Drive them all out!”
“Yes!” A group of peak World Lord-level palace guards responded in unison.
“Commander, over there, those are the humans,” one of the palace guards whispered beside the fierce black-skinned youth.
