Luo Feng transformed into a streak of cyan light, directly flying into the cave entrance on the cliffside, and entered the Grand Pit Mansion.
Inside the mansion.
“In the core of that vortex, under the irradiation of the golden light for nearly 30 days, my body has reached saturation,” Luo Feng swiftly flew and landed on a stone bed, then sat cross-legged, his eyes filled with anticipation. “I hope I can successfully fuse the third Blood-Net Crystal. If I fail again this time, I’ll never be able to fuse successfully anymore, because my body transformation has already reached its limit. Whether it’s the killing aura… or the more effective golden light, they are all ineffective now.”
Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng flipped his palm, and a crystal-clear, blood-red, beautiful three-edged prism-shaped crystal appeared in his hand.
Although he had seen thousands of Blood-Net Crystals, every time, Luo Feng couldn’t help but be captivated by its beauty.
“So dazzling.”
“This is a treasure of the universe.” Luo Feng gently sliced his left palm, and a blade-like wound appeared upon it, blood trickling forth to touch the Blood-Net Crystal. Instantly, an intangible killing intent surged directly into Luo Feng’s consciousness. Yet, his Earthling form had previously merged with merely two Blood-Net Crystals—the accumulated murderous will was but child’s play to him.
Chi chi~~
“Hmm?” Luo Feng frowned, sitting cross-legged there, his whole body beginning to twitch uncontrollably, muscles twisting, tendons writhing like earthworms, scales appearing on the surface of his skin…
Pain, intense pain.
But compared to the pain of the Gold-Horned Giant Beast clone fusing the 97th Blood-Net Crystal, this pain was something Luo Feng could endure with sheer willpower.
Time passed minute by minute…
The Blood-Net Crystal in his palm continuously released blood-red threads, constantly merging into Luo Feng’s body. Gradually, the crystal’s color became lighter and more transparent. Moments later, the entire Blood-Net Crystal turned completely transparent, like glass. Then, the entire crystal melted into a stream of air and merged into Luo Feng’s body.
“It worked!”
“I finally succeeded!” When he felt the Blood-Net Crystal in his palm completely fuse into his body and the physical mutations begin to subside, Luo Feng couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
Yes!
Overjoyed!
An increase in strength and a heightened attunement to the fundamental principles of the universe was one aspect. Another was the points! The points of the ‘Virtual Universe Company’ were extremely precious… For example, in this Blood-Net World mission, the first task was to obtain a Blood-Net Crystal, with a reward of ten thousand points.
But such an opportunity only came once.
You obtaining one Blood-Net Crystal earned ten thousand points. Even if you obtained a hundred thousand Blood-Net Crystals… you would still not gain additional points, because this cultivation task only awarded ten thousand points.
After all!
For Cosmic-level beings, seizing a Blood-Net Crystal might be difficult. But for Immortal-level experts, or even existences like Zhenyan Kings… they could already use instantaneous movement, making the acquisition of Blood-Net Crystals much easier.
“But it’s very strange.”
“The Virtual Universe Company has always claimed that the Blood-Net Crystal is a precious treasure,” Luo Feng was puzzled. “Yet in the Blood-Net World, there are millions of worlds, and within the jurisdiction of each World City ruler, there are many territories and many Domain-level experts. Almost every Domain Lord possesses a Blood-Net Crystal.”
“Obviously, the total amount of Blood-Net Crystals is enormous.”
“But…”
“I’ve searched through the treasure vaults of the Virtual Universe Company, and there’s no Blood-Net Crystal for sale in the vaults!” Luo Feng was even more puzzled. Indeed, there was none for sale!
The Blood-Net Crystal, in the vast universe, was only produced in this secret realm known as the ‘Blood-Net World.’ Even within the Blood-Net World, the Blood-Net Crystal was highly valued.
But still…
The total quantity was considerable. Yet the treasure vaults did not offer them for exchange.
“The Blood-Net World mission is a Cosmic-level cultivation task,” Luo Feng mused inwardly. “Domain Lords must go out and serve as frontier governors. Sovereigns face life-and-death trials… In the future, there probably won’t be another chance to enter this Blood-Net World. Fortunately, this time I managed to get over 9,000 Blood-Net Crystals.”
Subconsciously, Luo Feng sensed that the Blood-Net Crystal should be a ‘forbidden item,’ monopolized by the Virtual Universe Company. Even with his status and privileges as a member of the Primordial Secret Realm, he couldn’t exchange for Blood-Net Crystals.
“I’ll have to check it out when I get back.”
“Okay, first let me see how things are after fusing three Blood-Net Crystals.” Luo Feng stopped thinking further and began to activate the mystical power within his body.
Instantly, blood-red mystical patterns began to appear on his bare chest.
A simple yet complete mystical pattern.
“So beautiful.”
Luo Feng closed his eyes, vaguely sensing the fundamental fluctuations of various laws deep within the infinite universe—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, light, electricity, space, time… all the fluctuations of the cosmic laws became much clearer.
“1 times.”
“My perception clarity has improved by about 1 times, and the power of the laws I can wield… has also increased by 1 times,” Luo Feng mused inwardly.
An improvement of 1 times meant doubling his previous strength.
It was equivalent to a direct jump in power level!
“With improved perception, I will also be faster at understanding the laws,” Luo Feng inwardly praised. “No wonder Blood Warriors are so valued. Those chosen by the Virtual Universe Company are all top geniuses. If their perception improves another 1 times, and the power of the laws they wield also increases another 1 times, how could they not be amazing? A reward of 100,000 points is perfectly normal.”
“Let me try again.”
“Let me see if I can fuse the fourth one. Also, my consciousness has become stronger. Let the Gold-Horned Giant Beast clone attempt to fuse the 98th Blood-Net Crystal and see if it can succeed.” Luo Feng was filled with anticipation at this moment.
…
A short while later.
The Earthling main body attempted to fuse the fourth Blood-Net Crystal but failed halfway.
The Gold-Horned Giant Beast clone attempted to fuse the 98th Blood-Net Crystal, holding on for a long time, estimating it was almost successful, but ultimately, its consciousness was destroyed by the murderous will, resulting in failure.
“Haha, one shouldn’t be too greedy.”
Luo Feng was in a cheerful mood, suddenly standing up from the stone bed. “My consciousness… I estimate that in another ten or so years, maybe I’ll be able to withstand the murderous will impact of fusing the 98th Blood-Net Crystal.”
No rush.
His lifespan was ten times that of a normal Sovereign human. The goal of fusing 100 Blood-Net Crystals would definitely be achieved.
“Okay, now I am a Blood Warrior,” Luo Feng thought inwardly. “The second cultivation task was to fuse three Blood-Net Crystals, becoming a Blood Warrior and obtaining the Blood-Net Medal, after which I received the reward of 100,000 points.”
“The Blood-Net Medal!”
“Every Blood Warrior can go to a World Lord in any World City and generally receive the Blood-Net Medal.”
“Blood God Baqi, he is a ‘World Lord,’ I estimate he carries the Blood-Net Medal.” Luo Feng didn’t want to wait even a moment. The Ancient God Ruins no longer benefited his body, and he had many things to do at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company. It was time to leave the Blood-Net World.
Hurry up and claim the Blood-Net Medal!
Swoosh!
Luo Feng shot out, flew out of the cave entrance, and then rapidly descended into the abyss.
…
“It’s number ninety-seven.”
Deep within the abyss, on a protruding platform on the cliffside, a tall bronze figure sitting cross-legged opened his eyes and glanced into the distance. “A’er, what do you think of number ninety-seven?”
“He has been staying inside the Grand Pit all these years, at most approaching the vortex of killing aura,” another voice traveled nearly ten thousand kilometers, echoing in the ears of Captain A’yi. The communication bracer of the Blood God Guards served as a monitoring device; as long as a Blood God Guard remained within the range of the Blood-Net Continent, their location could be determined through the communication bracer.
Because the Blood-Net Continent was unimaginably vast.
Therefore… the coordinate accuracy of the communication bracer was about 100 kilometers! For powerful beings, an accuracy of 100 kilometers was sufficient, because as long as the target was within a 100-kilometer radius, Sovereigns and Domain Lords could instantly detect it.
Whether it was Blood God Baqi or the two captains of the Blood God Guards, through the communication bracer… they all detected that Luo Feng had approached the vortex of killing aura.
Because the coordinates had a 100-kilometer margin of error.
None of them knew that Luo Feng had once entered the core of the vortex.
“After so many years, being able to focus on cultivation here without doing anything else, at least he can be preliminarily trusted.”
“Yes, he can be preliminarily trusted.”
…
At the bottom of the abyss, wide and vast.
A blood-colored palace stood within the mist of killing aura, a streak of cyan light landed before the palace, directly stepping inside while respectfully saying: “Blood God Guard number ninety-seven wishes to pay homage to the Blood God.”
“Wait a moment.” A voice came from within the palace.
Luo Feng clearly knew this was the voice of an AI, so he silently waited inside the hall.
The Blood God was in deep cultivation, forbidding any disturbance… wanting to see the Blood God, it was best to have the AI announce him.
…
“I’m on the fifth floor, come up.” A deep voice echoed in Luo Feng’s ears.
“Yes.”
Luo Feng then quickly ascended the stairs like a phantom, soon reaching the fifth floor of this blood-colored palace.
The fifth floor was comparable in size to the first floor’s grand hall.
However, this floor had a bit more of a human touch! For example, the decorations on the surrounding walls, the luxurious carpets laid on the floor, all made of materials that could last for millions of years without decaying. In this fifth-floor palace hall, on the pitch-black throne, sat a figure exuding a dense killing aura.
A tall and mighty figure, wearing a blood-red robe and long blood-red hair.
It was indeed the Blood God ‘Baqi’.
Beneath the majestic hall, adjacent to the throne, loomed a colossal beast known as “Qiniu.” Though positioned below the grand chamber, the sheer immensity of this monstrous creature elevated its back even higher than the seat of the Blood God Baqi.
“Paying homage to the Great One, paying homage to Lord Qiniu.” Luo Feng knelt upon one knee, his kneecap striking the earth with solemn reverence.
“Number ninety-seven, what do you want?” Blood God Baqi sat high on the throne, looking down coldly.
“Great One, I have fused three Blood-Net Crystals,” Luo Feng respectfully replied. “Ever since I was a child, I have dreamed of obtaining a Blood-Net Medal after becoming a Blood Warrior. I have come to claim my Blood-Net Medal.”
“Oh?”
The Blood God Baqi suddenly rose to his feet, and beside him, the colossal beast Qiniu snorted twin jets of scorching steam from its nostrils, the searing breath washing over Luo Feng in an instant.
“Fused three Blood-Net Crystals?” Baqi was surprised. He had recognized the talent of the newly recruited Blood God Guard number ninety-seven as extremely high. But fusing three Blood-Net Crystals so quickly… it surprised him. Because some humans might fuse four or five, even seven or eight Blood-Net Crystals, like Blood God Baqi himself!
However, this required long-term transformation by the killing aura.
“Yes.”
The kneeling Luo Feng’s chest area automatically split open his bronze battle armor, revealing his chest. At the same time, Luo Feng activated the mystical power within, and instantly, blood-red mystical patterns appeared on his chest.
Seeing the simple yet complete blood-red mystical patterns, Baqi’s eyes lit up, and he rarely smiled, laughing heartily: “Number ninety-seven, very good, very good.”
“Hmph.” The ancient beast Qiniu snorted two plumes of scorching steam from its nostrils, its voice rumbling like distant thunder as it growled, “Very well.”
