Luo Feng landed on the rooftop of his cultivation residence.
“Chaotic True Spirit…” Luo Feng frowned slightly, clearly sensing his original nucleus within his body.
Within the original nucleus, the ‘vortex galaxy’, which had evolved from the materialisation of Luo Feng’s soul, was slowly rotating. This brilliant and dreamlike vortex galaxy had a total of eight spiral arms. When he had first reached the first level of the universe level, there had already been a small dark region at the core of the vortex galaxy, a tiny black hole.
Now!
The Golden Horned Beast had already reached the ninth level of the universe level, so its fundamental soul had naturally reached the ninth level of the universe level as well. The materialised ‘vortex galaxy’ formed from a ninth level universe level soul now had a gigantic black hole at its core. There were also tiny black holes within each of its eight spiral arms, and all eight small black holes were slowly devouring the surrounding stellar dust.
One central black hole, eight miniature black holes.
The formation of these nine black holes represented the ninth level of the universe level. To advance from the ninth level of the universe level into the Domain Lord level, all nine black holes had to merge and devour the entire galaxy, resulting in a fundamental transformation.
From the universe level to the Domain Lord level!
This hurdle was extremely difficult!
“Hiss, hiss~~”
The emerald green speck of light fell into the vortex galaxy and was rapidly pulled in, directly swallowed by the central black hole of the galaxy. In an inaccessible region outside the vortex galaxy, wisps of mist began to emerge, enveloping the entire vortex galaxy. The vortex galaxy itself seemed to have undergone a tiny change.
…
“There’s a change.”
Luo Feng closed his eyes. His mind was as still as calm water as he sensed the fluctuations of the Origin Laws.
In terms of sensing these fluctuations, the Golden Horned Beast was relatively clear when sensing the fluctuations of the Origin Law of Gold.
The Mosha Clan doppelganger was also very clear when sensing the fluctuations of the Origin Law of Space.
As for Luo Feng’s Earthling true body, its perception of the fluctuations of the Laws was extremely vague, as though there were layers upon layers of mist separating him from them.
But now!
“It’s improved. Everything has improved.”
Luo Feng’s face lit up with delight.
On the vast metallic continent within his internal space, the Golden Horned Beast, resembling a black mountain range, also raised its head and let out an excited roar. Beside it, the black-clothed Luo Feng, who had transformed into nearly a thousand phantom bodies, also stopped and exclaimed excitedly, “They’ve all improved!”
Indeed!
All three bodies could now sense the fluctuations of the Origin Laws slightly more clearly.
The Golden Horned Beast was relatively adept at sensing the ‘Origin Law of Gold’, mainly because of the golden secret patterns resembling armour that covered its horn, neck, body, wings, tail and hooves. These secret patterns faintly communicated with the Origin Law of Gold within the Origin of the Universe, so the Golden Horned Beast was particularly skilled in the ‘Origin Law of Gold’.
The same principle applied to the Mosha Clan doppelganger.
It relied on the golden secret patterns on the 10,081 faceted life crystal within its body to generate fluctuations and communicate with the Origin of Universal Space. It even seemed to resonate with the fluctuations of space. Thus, not only was it particularly skilled at comprehending the Laws of Space, its power was also extraordinarily great when actually using them.
The three bodies shared the same soul core!
Now that the soul core had undergone a transformation, all three had naturally improved together!
The transformation of the ‘soul core’ within the original nucleus had also caused a slight transformation in the soul within the Earthling true body’s sea of consciousness, as well as in the core ‘life crystal’ of the Mosha Clan doppelganger.
The ‘original nucleus soul’ was shared by all three bodies. It was the core of the three bodies.
Once it improved, all three bodies would improve.
As long as the original nucleus remained intact, even if any one of the three bodies was destroyed, it could regenerate. Even if all three bodies were destroyed, as long as the original nucleus remained unharmed, it would still continuously supply energy to form three doppelgangers. This was the heaven-defying aspect of the innate talent of the Golden Horned Beast.
However, there were advantages and disadvantages!
Once the original nucleus was destroyed, the three doppelgangers would all die simultaneously, even if they were billions of kilometres apart!
This was Luo Feng’s ‘weak point’.
“What a treasure. It can actually cause the soul to transform. No wonder it’s the third treasure of Chaos City.”
Luo Feng’s eyes shone brightly.
“From the Apprentice level to the World Lord level, the soul only grows continuously. Fundamentally speaking, it never undergoes a transformation. Only when advancing from the World Lord level to the Immortal level does the soul undergo a fundamental transformation.”
“Now, with the help of this Chaotic True Spirit, the transformation can actually begin ahead of time.”
“Although the extent of the transformation is not great, once the quantity accumulates, the benefits will still be enormous.”
Luo Feng was incredibly excited.
In terms of combat power, his Earthling true body was the weakest. The Golden Horned Beast and the Mosha Clan doppelganger were his true trump cards. Clearly, the transformation of the soul would benefit those two doppelgangers.
“Come!”
“Chaotic Beasts!”
Flames burned in Luo Feng’s eyes.
With such a treasure, it would be a terrible waste not to obtain more of it.
Luo Feng once again left Chaos City and entered the wilderness shrouded in chaotic airflow.
“The chaotic airflow here completely interferes with the signals emitted by detection devices. Otherwise, I could rely on Babata’s detection capabilities.”
Luo Feng secretly thought, “If there were an instrument capable of detecting the surroundings, there wouldn’t be so many geniuses dying here. Is the inability of these instruments to detect anything caused by the Primordial Universe, or did the administrators of Chaos City deliberately arrange it this way?”
Luo Feng was puzzled, but he did not dwell on it.
Regardless, he could only rely on himself to hunt Chaotic Beasts.
…
Five minutes later, Luo Feng was crouching in the grass, carefully watching a Chaotic Beast that had appeared in the distance.
This was an enormous Chaotic Beast, more than thirty metres long. It resembled a small hill slowly moving forward. Its scalp was smooth and shiny like alloy, while two curved horns pointed outwards from its head. Its eyes were almost entirely white, with only pupils the size of green beans at the very centre.
A coldness emanated from its pupils. Its four sturdy hooves slowly stepped across the ground, while its ears remained erect, clearly maintaining constant vigilance.
“Judging from its aura, it should not be stronger than the first ape-like Chaotic Beast I encountered.”
Luo Feng crouched in the grass, his eyes cold.
“Heavenly Sword Form!”
The dark golden long staff on his back instantly flew out 81 streams of golden light. Every nine streams of golden light rapidly converged, forming a golden sword more than a foot long.
Nine golden sword lights rapidly rose into the air. Accompanied by surging waves of golden energy, they directly formed the Sword Domain.
Boom!
A golden sword rainbow shot towards the head of the enormous Chaotic Beast!
“Roar!”
The Chaotic Beast suddenly turned its head and let out an angry roar. It abruptly lowered its head, intending to use the sharpest horns on its entire body to block the incoming golden sword rainbow.
“Whoosh!”
The golden sword contained the boundless power of the Sword Domain. With a slight curve, it grazed past the horn and directly pierced into the Chaotic Beast’s head. Its head was incredibly hard, as though forged from alloy. Amid the continuous hissing sounds, the golden sword only barely managed to pierce into its head before shooting out through the eye socket with a puff.
Boom!
The Chaotic Beast collapsed heavily. As an emerald green Chaotic True Spirit floated out, its entire body rapidly decayed into a large amount of chaotic airflow.
“Whoosh.”
Luo Feng stood on the Dark Cloud Shuttle, his mental energy sweeping up the Chaotic True Spirit. He then transformed into a streak of light and disappeared.
A few seconds later.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
Dozens of enormous Chaotic Beasts came charging over like thunder, causing the earth to tremble beneath their feet. Yet within those few seconds, Luo Feng had already reached several hundred kilometres away.
Several hundred kilometres away.
Hiding behind a pile of rocks, Luo Feng felt the comfortable sensation brought about by absorbing the Chaotic True Spirit. He grinned.
“Excellent. This is exactly how I should hunt Chaotic Beasts. At most two attacks. Whether they succeed or fail, I immediately retreat. Moreover, fighting the Chaotic Beasts is also a good way to test some of my insights.”
…
It had begun!
Luo Feng’s life of hunting Chaotic Beasts had finally begun.
As he hunted, Luo Feng discovered that although the stone tablet stated that all the Chaotic Beasts in the inner region were at the universe level, in reality, more than sixty per cent were at the first level of the universe level. The rest ranged from the second to the ninth level of the universe level, and every one of them was naturally skilled in certain Origin Laws.
Their only weakness was their low intelligence!
They were just like ordinary, unmutated animals on Earth. Even relatively simple traps could trick these Chaotic Beasts.
…
During his hunts, he occasionally encountered Chaotic Beasts at the ninth level of the universe level. Fortunately, the Moyun Vine was also at the ninth level of the universe level, thanks to its long-term consumption of Lan Ke Fruits. Otherwise, things would have been much more dangerous.
…
Three months after Luo Feng began hunting Chaotic Beasts.
“The two golden swords merge into one. So that’s how it works.”
Luo Feng, who was unleashing the Sword Domain, finally succeeded in combining two golden swords, one in front and one behind, connected by golden threads. They actually formed a hazy golden greatsword around the two golden swords.
This indistinct golden greatsword, aided by the entire Sword Domain, possessed terrifying power.
It instantly killed a Chaotic Beast.
“Connection!”
“Link! That feeling of becoming one…”
Luo Feng remembered that profound and mysterious sensation. It was difficult to describe and impossible to explain clearly.
Of course, Luo Feng understood that the reason it was so difficult to describe was because he had not yet deciphered even a trace of the essence of the Laws of Universal Space.
The first sword technique among the 108 characters of the secret manual ‘Dripping Blood’ that he was studying had only allowed him to grasp a tiny amount of its superficial essence.
Although he had not deciphered its essence, at least he could use it now.
“First learn to execute it. As for deciphering its essence, I can take my time.”
Luo Feng was filled with anticipation.
“I can now merge two swords into one. With the assistance of the Sword Domain, the power of these two golden swords should be enough to contend with the three sword fusion of the opponent on the first level of the Heavenly Bridge, right?”
Although that opponent had merged three swords into one, he had not unleashed the Sword Domain.
“No need to rush!”
“Perhaps my strength is not sufficient yet, which is why the opponent did not use the Sword Domain.”
Luo Feng was not anxious at all. The thirty years in Chaos City were all time for him to lay a solid foundation. There was no need to be impatient. It was best to proceed steadily and build his foundation properly.
…
Eight months later.
“Three swords merged into one!”
After constantly experimenting on Chaotic Beasts, Luo Feng had gained an increasingly thorough understanding of how to circulate his comprehension of the Laws into the Origin Divine Weapon.
He had finally managed to follow that mysterious and profound sensation, connecting and combining three golden swords to form an astonishing attack.
Virtual Universe, Heavenly Bridge plane.
On the island, the guardian Ba Fen, dressed in a black star robe, looked at the white-robed, blood-sword young man before him in surprise.
“Challenge the third level?”
Ba Fen looked at the young man before him in astonishment.
Back when the group of 1,000 geniuses had first arrived in Chaos City, this ‘Bolan’ had once consecutively challenged two levels in one go. This was extremely rare even throughout the history of Chaos City.
He had not expected Bolan to return again before a year had even passed.
“Yes.”
Bolan nodded slightly.
“Go ahead. I wish you success.”
Guardian Ba Fen smiled.
Whoosh!
The white-robed young man Bolan flew directly towards a certain port at the edge of the island.
A Heavenly Bridge stretched out from that port, so long that its end could not be seen. On the stone tablet before the Heavenly Bridge were two words, ‘Universe’.
The 52 Chaos Steles corresponded to 52 Heavenly Bridges.
The ‘Giant Axe Heavenly Bridge’ had a total of 32 levels, making it the highest.
The ‘Universe Heavenly Bridge’ had 30 levels, ranking second.
As for the ‘Nine Universe Heavenly Bridge’, it had a total of 27 levels, which was also extremely high, enough to rank among the top five.
The shortest of the 52 Heavenly Bridges had 21 levels.
Actually, the number of levels did not mean much.
After all, anyone who could pass the 21st level would be able to become a lofty Universe Country Lord!
Could any of the geniuses from Luo Feng’s batch become a Universe Country Lord?
“Whoosh!”
Bolan charged into the Heavenly Bridge.
