At the moment of unconsciousness, as the killing intent receded, Luo Feng quickly regained consciousness.
“It failed. Actually failed,” the black-clad Luo Feng frowned. “I knew reaching the 100th Blood-Net Crystal would be extremely difficult, but I never expected failure at the 93rd.”
“That killing intent was too powerful and violent. The pain was too intense. All of this indicates… my willpower isn’t strong enough.”
Luo Feng was completely mistaken.
Not strong enough in will?
Even the Blood God Baqi, a once-in-ten-millennia prodigy of the Celestial Court, capable of ascending to ‘Immortality’ at will, paled in comparison to Luo Feng’s indomitable will. Numerous Sovereign-tier powerhouses likewise fell short in the face of his unyielding resolve. Thus, in the realm of willpower, Luo Feng stood as a titan among men.
The real reason was…
How many people have fused 93 Blood-Net Crystals? On the Blood-Net Continent, fusing ten was already legendary enough to be called a ‘Black Warrior.’ Each additional fusion exponentially increased the genetic requirements tenfold. Fusing the 93rd? It was simply too unrealistic.
Ninety-three Blood-Web Crystals, endlessly stacking layers of killing intent, escalating to a ludicrously exaggerated extreme!
“The right claw can’t be fused anymore. How about other parts of my Gold-Horned Giant Beast body?” The Gold-Horned Giant Beast placed the Blood-Net Crystal held in its right claw into the palm of its left claw, then directly slashed through the scales on its palm. Blood touched the Blood-Net Crystal.
Boom!
An invisible force surged from the Blood-Net Crystal into the Gold-Horned Giant Beast’s body, simultaneously carrying the latent killing intent within, rapidly accumulating into an extremely violent surge, directly impacting Luo Feng’s consciousness within the beast’s body.
Boom!
“How could this happen? It’s overlapping and combining with the killing intent generated when fusing the right claw?” Luo Feng was shocked.
“Kill!”
“Slay!” The frenzied bloodlust surged once more. Luo Feng clung desperately, his willpower condensed like unyielding stone, resisting fiercely. Yet even the mightiest boulder… beneath the endless tide of slaughterous intent, crumbled to dust.
He lost consciousness again.
That invisible force returned to the Blood-Net Crystal, and Luo Feng regained consciousness.
…
Inside the control room of the Machine Race spaceship.
The crystalline orb was slowly rotating, golden secret runes glowing on its surface. Suddenly, the black-clad Luo Feng appeared at the orb’s location!
“It actually failed,” the black-clad Luo Feng slumped onto the sofa, gazing at the endless void ahead.
“What’s wrong, Luo Feng?” A demon-like figure formed from energy beside him—Babata.
The black-clad Luo Feng recounted the fusion process.
“Oh, no wonder. In the entire history of the Blood-Net Continent, it’s likely no one has ever achieved fusion up to the 93rd level. Even the highest-grade Tier Four Desolate Beast, the ‘Qiniu,’ would be considered remarkable for fusing more than ten,” Babata chuckled. “Luo Feng, don’t dwell on it. As your willpower grows stronger, you’ll be able to fuse even more in the future.”
“It’s not that I’m worried about it,” the black-clad Luo Feng frowned. “It’s just that other parts of the Gold-Horned Giant Beast’s body also couldn’t fuse the Blood-Net Crystal.”
“It’s because you can’t resist the killing intent,” Babata sat on the sofa beside him, legs crossed, gazing at the endless void ahead. “The Blood-Net Power that transforms the body from the Blood-Net Crystal has limited range. But the killing intent is different… it’s willpower, capable of spreading throughout every part of the Gold-Horned Giant Beast’s body.”
“When you tried to fuse the Blood-Net Crystal into the Gold-Horned Giant Beast’s left claw, the killing intent directly triggered all the latent killing intent within the beast, launching an assault.”
The black-clad Luo Feng nodded slightly.
He understood the principle.
Each additional fusion would continuously amplify the killing intent. Even if merging different body parts… the murderous aura would still accumulate relentlessly.
“Luckily, I previously fused all the Blood-Net Crystals into the right claw,” Luo Feng thought. The right claw of the Gold-Horned Giant Beast was now a ‘trump card,’ incredibly terrifying. If he had initially distributed the Blood-Net Crystals evenly across the entire body, maybe each part could have been transformed seven or eight times.
But then…
The increase in strength would have been very limited. Better to create a terrifying ‘right claw.’
“Greed leads to overreaching. What I’ve already achieved is a great opportunity; I shouldn’t be greedy. As long as I keep refining my willpower, I believe there will come a day when I can fuse the 100th Blood-Net Crystal. I have a feeling that fusing the 100th Blood-Net Crystal will complete the complex red secret runes perfectly, and there should be special effects then,” Luo Feng mused.
“Continue!”
“The three clones each have their own roles.” Luo Feng quickly adjusted his mindset.
…
This ‘Blood-Net World’ mission had two tasks. The first was to obtain a Blood-Net Crystal, which rewarded 10,000 points upon completion. The second was to become a Blood Warrior and obtain the Blood-Net Medal, which rewarded 100,000 points. Although obtaining large quantities of Blood-Net Crystals wouldn’t yield additional points.
However, Blood-Net Crystals were unique to the ‘Blood-Net World,’ a specialty of this realm!
Although they were abundant in the Blood-Net World, nearly every Domain Lord possessed them, and even some Cosmic-level elites received one Blood-Net Crystal. Still, their value was unquestionable.
“If I can get my hands on them, I should collect as many as possible. These Blood-Net Crystals should be quite valuable.”
…
The Mosha Clan clone continued its hunting journey.
Of course, 99.9% of the time was spent traversing the void, with the actual hunt and slaughter being but fleeting moments. Thus, beyond the bloodshed… while journeying within the Machine Race’s celestial vessel, the Mosha Clan’s doppelgänger would retreat into its inner sanctum, delving into the mysteries of the ‘Tome of Wandering Blood’ and the ‘Chronicles of Time and Space,’ its focus sharpened upon the ‘Veil of Drizzle’ inscribed upon the Nine Heavens Chaos Stele.
…
The Gold-Horned Giant Beast, combining three ancient images, practiced ‘Tearing Heaven and Splitting Earth.’
Because the right claw’s power was astonishing, triggering the power of the fundamental laws of the universe, amplifying the law’s power to about nine times… In other words, using the right claw or not made nearly a tenfold difference in the Gold-Horned Giant Beast’s strength! The Gold-Horned Giant Beast was already incredibly powerful; making it ten times stronger? This was an opportunity, after all, considering how difficult and demanding it was to fuse 92 Blood-Net Crystals.
The right claw was incredibly powerful, so among the three ancient images…
Luo Feng focused on the third!
The first image showed a beast lunging and whipping its tail, dispersing a gigantic descending hand.
The second image depicted the beast lowering its head, its golden horn pointing forward, charging in a rapid headbutt.
The third image was the beast raising its claw for a fierce strike.
“The Gold-Horned Giant Beast’s right claw is already strong. Combining this strike… the Gold-Horned Giant Beast will focus eighty percent of its effort on studying ‘Tearing Heaven’s Claw’!” Luo Feng was well-prepared, intending to master ‘Tearing Heaven’s Claw’ as his ultimate killing move.
The right claw was strong, so naturally, the focus should be on claw attacks.
Combining strengths would make it even more formidable!
‘Tearing Heaven’s Claw’… the Gold-Horned Giant Beast began an incredibly arduous and intense study and training, deciphering the ‘Tearing Heaven and Splitting Earth’ secret techniques left by ancestors, pursuing the divine essence of that ancient beast’s claw strike, continuously enhancing the power of ‘Tearing Heaven’s Claw.’
…
The Earthman clone frequently attended lectures by Immortals, occasionally studying how ‘Metal’ and ‘Space’ could be combined, while also improving his physical body in a malevolent aura environment for long periods.
…
Of course, all three clones were refining their hearts!
The Gold-Horned Giant Beast occasionally attempted to fuse Blood-Net Crystals, experiencing the terrifying onslaught of killing intent, resisting it to hone itself!
The Mosha Clan clone refined its heart through bloody slaughter!
The Earthman clone followed the teachings of his two elder brothers, Hong and Thunder God, to cultivate his inner self. He occasionally communicated with Hong and Thunder God in the virtual universe. With guidance from two masters who had reached the pinnacle in cultivating inner peace through Chinese Internal Boxing and ancient yoga, Luo Feng often gained insights.
…
Studying fundamental laws, researching secret techniques, and refining one’s heart.
Over the long course of time, Luo Feng continuously perfected himself.
…
Thirty years passed in the blink of an eye.
Within the vast Blood-Net Continent, in the palace of a territory’s ruling city, it was daytime.
“Daring to come here and kill my son? You’re asking for death!” A mighty roar, like the wrath of a celestial deity, echoed throughout the city. A black shadow shot into the sky, piercing through the clouds—it was the black-clad Luo Feng.
“Damn, there’s actually a Sovereign hiding here.”
The black-clad Luo Feng’s speed was astonishing.
“You dare kill my son? There’s no escape for you!” The thunderous voice pierced directly into his ears as an invisible force of the world came crashing down upon him.
Swoosh!
A silvery-white pyramid appeared before the black-clad Luo Feng, and he quickly darted into the silvery-white pyramid spaceship.
Behind him, the golden-robed, dignified middle-aged man chasing rapidly saw the silvery-white pyramid soaring into the sky, his eyes widening: “It’s an outsider!” He immediately sped upward in pursuit. At the same time, he used his world force to desperately suppress the Machine Race spaceship, but the ship’s speed was simply too fast, instantly breaking through the 18th cloud layer.
The golden-robed middle-aged man stood on the 18th cloud layer, looking up at the misty clouds, no longer daring to cross through.
“It’s actually an outsider!” The golden-robed middle-aged man’s expression became complex. “This matter must be reported to the temple. The outsiders have sent another to our Blood-Net Continent.”
…
Inside the control room of the Machine Race spaceship.
“That was too close,” the black-clad Luo Feng sat on the sofa, exhaling deeply. “I never expected a Sovereign to be hiding in this city. A Sovereign completely concealing his aura—I couldn’t detect him at all… But the moment he moved, I sensed his presence through my perception of space.”
“Thankfully, I escaped quickly.”
The Mosha Clan clone could unleash over ten thousand illusions, allowing him to burst to incredible speeds, even surpassing many Sovereigns.
Speed was just the starting advantage.
Once a Sovereign accelerated, they would quickly catch up. Therefore, he first burst ahead, then immediately boarded the Machine Race spaceship to escape.
“Living by the river, one cannot avoid getting wet feet,” the black-clad Luo Feng muttered softly. “This incident will surely prompt that Sovereign to immediately notify the Immortal Temple… The Immortal Temple will investigate and might find some clues, possibly setting a trap for me! Well, anyway, I’ve gathered enough over these thirty years. It’s time to stop.”
Thirty years, the Mosha Clan Luo Feng’s hunting had yielded a total of 9,816 Blood-Net Crystals!
Luo Feng also felt…
That was quite enough. It was time to stop.
