Night.
Luo Feng, carrying young Nako, soared straight into the sky. Nako couldn’t help but look down at Yan Gang City beneath them, tears streaming from his eyes.
“Nako, sleep now, sleep. Everything will be fine when you wake up,” Luo Feng whispered gently. His voice carried an inexplicable magic, and Nako immediately felt drowsy. His eyes fluttered shut, and he fell asleep.
“Asleep at last, fewer troubles now,” Luo Feng muttered, shooting upward, breaking through layer after layer of clouds.
He flew straight through the eighteenth cloud layer. Beyond that lay the boundary of the Blood-Net World.
With a thought, Luo Feng summoned a silver pyramid-shaped spaceship beside him. Holding Nako, he flew directly into the spacecraft.
Inside the control room—
He placed Nako into a rest pod and let him sleep, then walked over to the control console.
“This is the map of the Blood-Net Continent. Babata, calculate the cosmic coordinates corresponding to the ‘Ancient God Ruins’,” Luo Feng mentally connected with Babata. Babata calculated at an incredible speed and quickly provided Luo Feng with a range of cosmic coordinates—this entire area belonged to the Ancient God Ruins.
Even if there were minor errors, they wouldn’t be significant.
“Depart! Head toward the Ancient God Ruins. Stop after traveling 16 billion kilometers,” Luo Feng commanded the AI of the Mech Race spaceship. In truth, the AI controlling the Mech Race spaceship was actually a subordinate AI created by Babata. Normally, this auxiliary AI could perfectly control the ship.
But in times of emergency, Babata could take over full control, unleashing the ship’s maximum maneuverability.
“Yes, Master,” the ship’s AI responded.
Whoosh!
The Mech Race spaceship pierced through the clouds, speeding through the void outside.
“100% exterior virtual projection,” Luo Feng ordered.
Instantly, a dreamlike view of the void appeared before him—on one side was the endless void, and on the other, the outermost cloud layer of the Blood-Net World.
“The Boundless Blood-Net Continent,” Luo Feng gazed upon the landmass from the void, “yet none dare breach the cloud veil. The sheer might of the Virtual Universe Corporation… truly breathtaking!”
“Hey, Babata, prepare a cultivation plan for Nako. I can’t accompany him, so I’ll do what I can to help him,” Luo Feng sighed.
Inside the control room, Babata’s voice echoed, “That’s easy. You already have many treasures of your own, and the dead Domain Lords left behind quite a few as well. Training a little one like him will be effortless.”
Moments later—
Luo Feng received a detailed list for cultivating Nako.
…
As Luo Feng rode the Mech Race spaceship, speeding through the void outside the Blood-Net World,
A silver-black, disc-shaped spaceship, 180 meters in diameter, appeared in the sixteenth cloud layer above Yan Gang City.
Whoosh!
The leader wore a black battle suit, with long blue hair flowing behind him. His eyes seemed to contain infinite skies. Behind him followed four individuals dressed in purple uniforms—each exuding a restrained aura, all Domain Lords in strength.
“I want to know who dares! Who dares to kill my disciple on my territory!” the blue-haired man in black glared downward, his eyes flashing like lightning. Under his piercing gaze, even the layers of mist parted, allowing him to see the tiny Yan Gang City below.
“Go, descend!” the blue-haired man commanded coldly.
“Yes,” the four purple-robed Domain Lords respectfully followed behind him. The five of them shot down like lightning from the sky, while the hovering spaceship vanished without a trace.
…
Moments later—
Inside the city lord’s palace, although part of the palace had been destroyed, it was still larger than the Chunyu Clan’s estate. In a grand hall, the leaders of all factions—families, sects, armies, and intelligence networks—gathered.
Silence!
A heavy, invisible pressure filled the hall. The high-ranking officials of Yan Gang City sweated profusely, kneeling respectfully on the ground. They knew exactly who the man before them was…
A World Lord!
The true master of this world!
“Your city lord, Shi Fengxiong, is dead!” the blue-haired man in black declared coldly. The group trembled.
“Two Immortal Hall envoys passing through Yan Gang City are also dead!”
The group was even more shocked.
They truly had no idea!
“The murderer is him!” the blue-haired man waved his hand, and a stack of papers floated to the ground. Each page depicted a figure in black armor, wearing a battle helmet and boots, wielding a hexagonal shield and a Blood Shadow Blade. In truth, these images were printed from surveillance footage.
“Murderer?” the group hurriedly looked at the papers.
“The face is hidden? Black armor is common everywhere. How can we find him?” they all thought in confusion and frustration. How could they track someone who had changed his appearance after committing the crime?
“He is definitely a peak Domain Lord,” the blue-haired man stated coldly. “Use all your resources to investigate. Find out if any ‘suspected Domain Lords’ appeared in Yan Gang City recently.”
“Yes!”
The group kowtowed.
“I want your report before dawn tomorrow.”
“Yes!”
One by one, they left the hall. The blue-haired man stood inside the palace, gazing through the main entrance into the distance, as if seeing through the void itself.
“Daring to kill my disciple, and stealing my Blood-Net Crystal, hmph!” a cold snort echoed in the silent hall.
…
The Mech Race spaceship continued flying in the void outside the Blood-Net World. Approximately 22 hours later, it decelerated and stopped.
“Master, we’ve reached 16 billion kilometers,” a voice sounded in the control room.
“Hmm,” Luo Feng nodded.
He went to the rest pod, picked up the still-sleeping Nako, and quickly flew out of the ship’s hatch. After recalling the Mech Race spaceship, he dove straight toward the cloud layer of the Blood-Net World below.
Boom!
He broke through the eighteenth cloud layer, then the seventeenth, sixteenth…
“Nako,” Luo Feng called.
“Mmm,” Nako slowly awoke. He found himself floating mid-air, supported by an invisible force, with Luo Feng standing before him.
“Big Brother Feng,” Nako finally came to his senses.
“Follow me down,” Luo Feng said, leading Nako through the final layer of clouds.
Nako gazed in shock at the scene below—still night. The night on the Blood-Net Continent lasted six to seven times longer than on Earth. The 16 billion kilometers hadn’t shifted the time zone much, so Yan Gang City and this region remained in the same general time frame.
Luo Feng and Nako entered the nearest city—”Mengna City.” The Mengna Domain spanned millions of kilometers. The world this city belonged to was known as the “Yurong World.”
…
“This Mengna City is in the ‘Yurong World’?” Nako was astonished. “And it’s said to be separated by dozens of worlds from our ‘Si Yong World’! Big Brother Feng, how long was I asleep?”
“Don’t worry, less than thirty days,” Luo Feng replied.
Thirty days in the Blood-Net World equated to half a year on Earth.
In reality, Nako had only slept for about twenty hours. But he probably wouldn’t notice—the Blood-Net Continent’s various worlds constantly warred with each other, and the vastness made unified timekeeping impossible.
“Less than thirty days? Good,” Nako nodded quickly. “I’ve heard many warriors spend long years crossing dozens of worlds.”
…
After settling in Mengna City for a day, Luo Feng brought Nako to a sect within the city called the “Rain Blade Sect.” The sect leader personally welcomed Luo Feng and Nako.
“This is the young one I told you about. I’ll leave him under your sect’s care. When I finish my cultivation, I’ll come back for him. Then I’ll naturally reward you properly,” Luo Feng said to the Rain Blade Sect leader, who nodded eagerly.
“Not a problem at all! Rest assured, rest assured!”
The Rain Blade Sect leader was a lean, powerful old man—a Void-Level (Cosmic-Level) expert, a major figure in Mengna City.
But the arrival of Luo Feng in the dead of night had truly frightened him: “This black-haired youth’s strength is unfathomable. I couldn’t resist him at all. He must be a Domain-Level expert. And he’s so generous! Making friends with such a powerful expert is a rare blessing!”
From that moment on,
Nako resided within the Rain Blade Sect of Mengna City in the Yurong World.
“Nako!”
“You’ve trained in archery before, proving your strong mental power. Here’s a mental cultivation method I’ve prepared for you,” Luo Feng said, handing him a thick book. It was printed by Babata on local paper, written in the local language, detailing mental cultivation techniques from beginner to advanced levels.
In truth, this was a cultivation method originally reserved for elite disciples of the Yimo Star lineage.
“This cultivation method will allow you to reach the level of Immortal God, as long as you have the talent,” Luo Feng said.
“Big Brother Feng!” Nako stared at the book in shock. On the Blood-Net Continent, with its endless wars between worlds, a complete cultivation method spanning from Star-Level to Immortal God was incredibly rare and precious.
“This is a cultivation plan I’ve prepared for you,” Luo Feng handed him a thinner book. “It tells you how to use treasures effectively to accelerate your training.”
“This is a collection of rare treasures,” Luo Feng handed him a spatial ring.
“With these treasures, as long as you train diligently, reaching Void-Level (Cosmic-Level) is absolutely no problem. If you work hard, even Domain-Level (Lord-Level) is possible… As for higher levels, it depends entirely on your own abilities,” Luo Feng smiled at Nako.
Nako was stunned.
Was this really happening?
Could he really become a Void-Level expert just by training seriously? Even the Rain Blade Sect leader, who had founded a sect in the city, was already a supreme expert in this territory.
“Thank you, thank you,” Nako’s eyes turned red with emotion.
Luo Feng chuckled.
What was this?
Back when his master, the Yimo Star Lord, had prepared treasures for him, they were enough to push him to Lord-Level, even Sovereign-Level! If necessary, they could even mass-produce Cosmic-Level, Lord-Level, and Sovereign-Level experts. Of course, the cost-benefit ratio was extremely low—for example, the cost of cultivating one Cosmic-Level expert could buy an entire army of Cosmic-Level slaves!
Nako was a native of the Blood-Net World, born at Star-Level, and with the environment of this world… his talent was far superior to Luo Feng’s at the time.
Luo Feng had only prepared a few treasures, yet they were enough to cultivate Nako to Void-Level!
“I know you want to return home!”
“But remember this!”
“Never return home before reaching Void-Level!” Luo Feng said solemnly. “Crossing dozens of worlds is extremely dangerous. Without Void-Level strength, going back would be suicide.”
“Yes!” Nako nodded quickly.
Luo Feng laughed, “Alright, don’t tell anyone about what I’ve given you.”
“I understand,” Nako, coming from a merchant family, naturally knew the consequences of exposing such treasures.
“Haha, I’m off then.”
With a smile, Luo Feng’s body flickered and vanished. Only Nako remained in the room.
Holding the thick book, Nako gently flipped through it. The tiny text on each page packed an enormous amount of information.
“Dad, you were right. This is an opportunity, a great one!” Nako stored the book in his spatial ring, determination burning in his eyes. “I will succeed in my cultivation. I will!”
