Luo Feng spent half a month continuously researching and studying (only two days had passed in the Blood-Net Continent), finally gaining a clear understanding of the benefits of fusing with the Blood-Net Crystal.
The Blood-Net Crystal contained a miraculous power that penetrated deep into the body’s cells, triggering a special genetic leap at the fundamental level. This caused every cell in the body to contain a mysterious, unique power. This force was neither primal energy nor mental power—it was something entirely unknown.
As soon as Luo Feng activated this power…
“Hmph!” Standing bare-chested on the second floor of the pavilion, Luo Feng softly grunted. Through meticulous control of his body’s cells and countless previous attempts, he directly activated that unknown force.
Instantly!
A seemingly simple yet profoundly mysterious blood-red secret pattern appeared on Luo Feng’s chest. When this crimson pattern surfaced on his skin, Luo Feng felt as if the entire world had changed.
“How wonderful!” Luo Feng closed his eyes.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, time, space…
Each of the fundamental cosmic laws—before fusing the Blood-Net Crystal, even his relatively advanced understanding of ‘space’ and ‘metal’ had been vague and indistinct, incomparable to his Gold-Horned Giant Beast or Mosha Clan clone. However, when he activated the force causing the secret pattern to appear on his chest, those feelings became clear!
Even his control over the laws became much easier.
“Residual Dream,” Luo Feng swung his blade, the desolate sword light breaking hearts.
“Endless Road,” ethereal and boundless blade light capable of blocking a thousand enemies.
“Unending Hate,” ferocious blade light capable of severing all obstacles.
“Playing Shadows,” seemingly like a drunken man swinging aimlessly, yet countless blade shadows drifting about.
“Endless,” blurred figures accompanied by indistinct blade light.
“Final Rest,” a last desperate strike filled with the will to die, blade light that made hearts tremble!
“Ephemeral Bloom,” a dance between life and death, seeking only a fleeting moment of beauty before death.
Luo Feng didn’t use primal energy, practicing his blade techniques within the pavilion hall. His mental power formed a protective barrier, at least ensuring his blade techniques wouldn’t damage the surrounding structures.
“This feeling is truly wonderful,” Luo Feng opened his eyes. “The Blood-Net Crystal is truly incredible.”
The effect of the Blood-Net Crystal was somewhat similar to the Mosha Clan’s body.
Even with lower comprehension, the Mosha Clan clone could still unleash astonishing power. Moreover, comprehending the spatial fundamental laws became easier.
The body after fusing the Blood-Net Crystal wasn’t only more sensitive to space—it significantly enhanced his perception of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, space, and time. One could say that after fusing the Blood-Net Crystal, his connection to the cosmic fundamentals became tighter, easier to sense.
With clearer perception, his future comprehension speed as the Earth human main body would increase!
Being more connected to the cosmic fundamentals also meant that attacks using fundamental laws would be more powerful! (For example, the Mosha Clan clone, although possessing the same level of comprehension as the Earth human main body which could only use Hundred-Lines Ryu, could unleash Ten-Thousand Lines Ryu.)
“Unfortunately!”
“The Mosha Clan clone’s spatial secret techniques increase in power tenfold, while the Blood-Net Crystal fusion only boosts power by twenty to thirty percent.” Luo Feng smiled. “But I shouldn’t be too greedy. After all, the Mosha Clan is the ultimate assassination race in the universe. That’s no joke.”
What made the Blood-Net Crystal incredible was that it enhanced perception of all fundamental laws, and increased the power of attacks based on those laws!
Fusing one Blood-Net Crystal could increase attack power by twenty to thirty percent.
“Blood Warrior? Black Warrior?” Luo Feng mused. “Since there are legends of Blood Warriors and Black Warriors, there must be special transformations after fusing three crystals. Fusing ten would bring even more astonishing changes!”
“Yes!”
“I must seize as many Blood-Net Crystals as possible now!” Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed. The Mosha Clan clone was innate, but fusing Blood-Net Crystals allowed the creation of a being rivaling the Mosha Clan clone. Of course, the more crystals fused, the more difficult the process became. Otherwise, Black Warriors wouldn’t have become purely legendary.
“Tonight!”
“I’ll deal with the City Lord.” Luo Feng’s eyes turned icy. “He’s the one in Yan Gang City with the most Blood-Net Crystals.”
…
In Yan Gang City, within the General’s Mansion.
City Lord Shi Fengxiong stood on the veranda with a gloomy expression, behind him respectfully stood eight high-ranking military officers.
“Speak! Where is the General?” Shi Fengxiong said coldly. “I summoned him to come, yet he refuses? Now I send people to find him, and he’s vanished? Where has he gone to indulge in pleasure? His gluttonous friend, Chun Yu Chong, has died, and he still dares to indulge?” In the past, Shi Feng and Chun Yu Chong were the wildest of companions.
Their vile and despicable deeds were countless. Being the head of the Chun Yu family and the general of Yan Gang City, who in the entire Yan Gang territory dared to oppose them?
“City Lord, we don’t know either.”
“None of us know where the General disappeared to this time.”
“Right, probably the General wanted to play around secretly, so he didn’t tell us.” The eight high-ranking officers quickly replied.
“That bastard!”
Shi Fengxiong was furious. “Issue orders! The moment the General is found, he must come to me immediately!”
“Yes!”
The eight officers respectfully replied. Then Shi Fengxiong’s figure flickered and vanished. Only then did the eight officers relax slightly, muttering and discussing among themselves: “This is strange. The General often goes out and causes trouble. Previously, the City Lord wasn’t this angry. It’s only been two or three days since he disappeared. In the past, he often vanished for ten days or half a month.”
“Who knows, but judging from the situation, the City Lord is furious. This time, the General is in trouble.”
…
The General was indeed in trouble—because he was already dead.
…
Late at night.
Luo Feng stood in his private chamber, dressed in black battle armor, wearing combat boots, and even donning a helmet with the visor lowered. Behind him were a shield and the Blood Shadow Blade.
“City Lord Shi Fengxiong, a Domain Lord of second tier, has fused Blood-Net Crystals,” Luo Feng thought. “Although my understanding of domains and laws far surpasses his, he is still a Domain Lord. I mustn’t be careless.” Previously, when dealing with Chun Yu Chong, Luo Feng wore a black robe. When facing General Shi Feng, he even wore ordinary clothes, very casually.
Only this time!
Fully equipped, including the visor!
Because Luo Feng knew that unless he summoned his clone, relying solely on his Earth human main body… this battle might be difficult.
“If it weren’t difficult, it wouldn’t be interesting. Fighting an opponent above my level is where the fun lies.” Luo Feng smiled slightly, then his body shimmered and silently vanished from the pavilion.
…
The City Lord’s Mansion in Yan Gang City stood tall and imposing.
A ghost-like shadow moved even more invisibly through the night, swiftly approaching the location of the City Lord, Shi Fengxiong. As the strongest figure in the mansion, Shi Fengxiong naturally disdained using Cloud-Level (Cosmic-Level) or Sky-Level (Stellar-Level) subordinates as bodyguards.
“The Shadow Phantom Manual is even more suited for assassination!”
“And after all, I’m only a Cosmic-Level Nine, directly confronting him might put me at a disadvantage. If I can assassinate him, that would be ideal.” Luo Feng gazed toward the distant palace. Through his perception of cosmic space, he vaguely sensed a familiar aura—that was Shi Fengxiong’s presence.
Swoosh!
Luo Feng gripped the Blood Shadow Blade and instantly vanished.
…
Inside the palace.
The tall and muscular Shi Fengxiong sat at his desk, surrounded by piles of intelligence reports.
“Hmph!” Shi Fengxiong couldn’t help but slam the table and stand up, pacing back and forth in the study with a furrowed brow. “My senior brother and that envoy Mo rarely visit me. I originally wanted to introduce my younger brother to them. But this bastard disappeared, and I can’t find him anywhere! My senior brother and Mo have already been here for three days and are about to leave. If I can’t find my brother… it might be a long time before he gets another chance to meet the temple envoy!”
“Damn him! What a bastard!” Shi Fengxiong grew angrier and angrier.
These past few days, wasn’t it hard enough entertaining those two envoys?
He had provided the absolute finest hospitality.
“Hmm?” Shi Fengxiong’s keen awareness of the cosmic energies made him sense something. Instantly, he bellowed, “Who dares approach?!”
Boom!
Radiating from Shi Fengxiong, countless lightning bolts spread outward, strangely passing through the palace without damaging it. In an instant, a massive lightning sphere formed within a one-kilometer radius. Soldiers, servants, and maids screamed in terror but found the lightning didn’t harm them. Still, they fled in panic to the edge of the enormous lightning sphere.
“Whoosh!”
A blade of light suddenly illuminated the palace, like a giant scythe slicing directly toward Shi Fengxiong. Only now could one faintly see a figure clad entirely in black armor swinging a battle blade.
“Get back!” Shi Fengxiong roared, instantly producing a purple hammer in each hand and slamming them forward.
Crack!
Lightning imbued with terrifying energy surged forward, directly blasting the black-armored figure backward. Violent energy scattered like countless arrows in all directions, causing the entire palace to explode in a thunderous roar. Shi Fengxiong’s eyes blazed with icy fury as he charged out from the collapsing palace, each hand wielding a purple hammer.
“Indeed a Domain Lord of second tier, ninth level domain, and has stepped into the threshold of Thunder Law.” Luo Feng was blasted backward, spitting a mouthful of blood. Yet within the blink of an eye, his body completely recovered, his gaze still calm and cold.
“Use speed! Crush him!”
Flash!
Just as Shi Fengxiong emerged, he was about to roar, “You—”
But instantly, an incredibly oppressive golden domain spread out. Space and Metal intertwined, merging with the cosmic space to form a terrifying domain. This golden domain surged like tangible golden waves, even integrating with cosmic space, continuously pressing and destroying the lightning domain.
Simultaneously, around Shi Fengxiong’s body, 100 black-armored warriors suddenly appeared, each wielding a hexagonal shield and the Blood Shadow Blade!
“Absolute Domain, the 2891st secret technique from ‘Random Notes on Time and Space’—Chaos Sky Slash!” Luo Feng murmured under his breath.
“Fundamental Law of Space!” Shi Fengxiong, holding two purple hammers, was greatly shocked upon seeing this.
