The starry sky was vast and boundless. Three figures stood silently in space.
“After all this, you really intend to kill him?” Babata’s voice sounded. “He absolutely has the potential to become a super expert!”
“Hmph!”
“I admire his backbone, but I am not so shameless that I would lower myself to coax him. He came to kill me, so originally I should have killed him!” Luo Feng’s expression was cold. “I admire him, so I gave him a chance to submit. But if he refuses to recognise the situation… then I will simply kill him. Potential to become a super expert? Not to mention someone with potential, even true super experts, like Domain Lords or Immortals, are numerous in this vast universe!”
Luo Feng looked at Bai Kaluo, waiting for his answer.
Bai Kaluo stood in space, his brows tightly furrowed.
“Once you refuse, it means death! Once you die, everything becomes empty! Your pursuit, your dream of becoming stronger, everything will disappear.” Luo Feng’s words echoed in Bai Kaluo’s mind, causing him to unconsciously recall the years he had spent struggling and striving.
That beautiful planet, his homeland.
That broad, rushing river had appeared in his dreams countless times.
“Grandfather, I am leaving.”
“The day I return will be the day my name is listed in the Holy Temple! I will make our Ironstone Mountain lineage proud of me!”
On that dim evening, the young Bai Kaluo bid farewell to his grandfather and embarked on a journey far away.
Leaving his homeland and entering the universe.
He wandered through one star system after another, and his strength continuously increased. Later, after seeing videos of Nuolan Shan’s battles in the “Giant Axe Battle Arena”, he admired him and became Nuolan Shan’s disciple.
Nuolan Shan was an absolute practical combat expert. From the very beginning, his disciples were required to engage in life-and-death battles. Bai Kaluo trained extremely hard and risked his life constantly, quickly becoming the most outstanding among all his disciples.
He broke through to the Universe level!
He obtained a domain!
He created his own blade techniques and continuously improved. Eventually, even his teacher Nuolan Shan was unable to guide him anymore! His battle experience, techniques, and other aspects were already no weaker than his teacher’s!
He became the existence with the highest status in the Nuolan Shan family after Nuolan Shan himself!
Yet he never sought enjoyment. He always wore a black robe, dedicating himself entirely to studying his blade techniques and researching his domain…
“The Holy Temple!”
“The Holy Temple of my Blade Race!” Bai Kaluo roared inwardly. “I, Bai Kaluo, must have my name listed in the Holy Temple of the Blade Race. I want the Ironstone Mountain lineage to be proud because of me! I will become a legend of the Ironstone Mountain lineage of the Blade Race!”
The Blade Race Holy Temple.
The place every Blade Race man dreamed of. Having one’s name permanently engraved in the Holy Temple was their greatest pride!
However, having one’s name engraved in the Holy Temple was extremely difficult. As more and more powerful experts emerged from the Blade Race, the requirements for being listed in the Holy Temple became higher and higher.
During the era when the Blade Race was still on their native planet, Universe-level experts could be listed in the Holy Temple.
After the Blade Race entered the universe, the requirement quickly increased to Domain Lord level.
And hundreds of millions of years ago, it was raised again. Only World Lords became qualified to have their names engraved in the Holy Temple! For the entire Blade Race, it would take a very long time before even one name was added. It was the most glorious moment for any Blade Race member.
Those listed in the Holy Temple would be called “legends” of the Blade Race.
“Listed in the Holy Temple, becoming a legend!” Bai Kaluo raised his head and looked at the young man in the crimson battle robe before him.
“Have you decided?”
Luo Feng looked at Bai Kaluo with a cold gaze. “Submit, or die!”
Whoosh!
Bai Kaluo knelt on one knee, his knee pressing against empty space. He lowered his head.
“Blade Race, Bai Kaluo, pays respects to you, my lord!”
“My lord?” Luo Feng raised an eyebrow.
“When your strength surpasses mine, I will willingly address you as ‘Master’.” Bai Kaluo said respectfully. “For now, I am willing to become a soldier or a bodyguard under your command.”
“Soldier, bodyguard?” Luo Feng looked at Bai Kaluo with interest and smiled. “You can call me Master right now.”
Bai Kaluo frowned slightly.
“Haha…” Luo Feng laughed loudly in the universe.
Boom!
Luo Feng disappeared. At the same time, a massive beast resembling a mountain range appeared in the starry sky.
Its scales were larger than an ordinary person’s dining table, and the edges of each scale were as sharp as blades. The entire beast’s body was more than six kilometres long. Its four hooves were two to three kilometres tall, resembling the legendary pillars supporting the heavens.
Its long tail gently swayed through space.
Its enormous head was like a mountain, and its dark golden eyes looked down at the tiny Bai Kaluo.
“Gold, gold…” Bai Kaluo’s eyes widened. “Golden Horned Beast!”
“Yes, it is me.”
A majestic voice, infused with powerful original force, directly pierced through the void and spread out like waves, echoing beside Bai Kaluo’s ears.
Boom!
The Golden Horned Beast disappeared, and Luo Feng appeared again, looking at Bai Kaluo with a faint smile.
Boom!
Luo Feng disappeared, and the incomparably huge Golden Horned Beast appeared once more in the starry sky.
“Do you understand now?” The Golden Horned Beast’s voice was like thunder. Two beams of light shot from its eyes, illuminating Bai Kaluo.
Sound should not be able to travel through empty space, but the incomparably powerful original force became the medium. Relying on the Golden Horned Beast’s terrifying original force, its voice echoed throughout the surrounding starry sky.
“You, you are…” Bai Kaluo was utterly shocked. “So Luo Feng is actually the Golden Horned Beast!”
“More accurately, the Golden Horned Beast is Luo Feng!”
The Golden Horned Beast disappeared, and Luo Feng stood in the starry sky looking at Bai Kaluo.
Earlier, Luo Feng had ordered Di Fan to destroy Bai Kaluo’s intelligent optical computer precisely for this moment. The secrecy surrounding the Golden Horned Beast was extremely important, so he naturally could not be careless.
As for revealing the Golden Horned Beast, it was to allow him to use the slave soul seal!
“So this is how it is…” Bai Kaluo was extremely shocked. He then looked at Luo Feng. “You will surpass me, I admit that. But the Golden Horned Beast just now should be weaker than me, right?”
“Weaker than you?” Luo Feng laughed.
“Bai Kaluo, even I am not Master’s opponent. You? You can only be completely crushed!” Di Fan beside them transmitted with a mocking tone.
“What!” Bai Kaluo shook his head repeatedly. “Impossible!”
“You will know when you try.” Luo Feng grinned.
Boom!
Luo Feng disappeared, and the Golden Horned Beast appeared once again in the starry sky.
The current Golden Horned Beast had indeed reached Universe-level sixth rank.
Two years ago, in December, the Golden Horned Beast broke through to the Universe level.
Now it was the end of October. A full twenty months had passed.
During these twenty months, because Luo Feng possessed enormous wealth, he naturally purchased extremely precious metals and used the optimal combination to allow the “internal world” to absorb and grow. However, at the Universe level, the optimal combination only increased evolution efficiency to 56 times!
56 times!
Twenty months was equivalent to more than 93 years of normal evolution.
When the Golden Horned Beast was at the Stellar level:
From first rank to third rank, it required one and a half years.
From fourth rank to sixth rank, each breakthrough required two years, totalling around six years.
From seventh rank to ninth rank, each breakthrough required twelve years, needing thirty-six years.
Breaking through from ninth rank to Universe level required more than fifty years. The entire Stellar level stage lasted nearly a hundred years.
The Universe level stage lasted nearly a thousand years!
From first rank to third rank required around fifteen years.
From fourth rank to sixth rank, each breakthrough required twenty years, totalling sixty years.
From seventh rank to eighth rank, each breakthrough required one hundred and twenty years, totalling three hundred and sixty years.
Finally, breaking through from Universe-level ninth rank to Domain Lord required more than five hundred years.
This was the evolution speed!
With the optimal combination, Luo Feng achieved the equivalent of ninety-three years of normal evolution, allowing the current Golden Horned Beast to grow to the Universe-level sixth rank!
As a Golden Horned Beast with an incomparably heaven-defying talent, even at Stellar-level seventh rank, it already possessed the ability to independently kill a Stellar-level ninth rank human warrior.
In the starry sky.
The Golden Horned Beast, resembling a black mountain range, suddenly swung down one of its hooves. The sharp claws on the hoof were like giant battle blades, directly striking towards Bai Kaluo.
“Ha!”
Bai Kaluo let out a low roar. The cyan currents around him danced wildly. As his original force surged into his two battle blades, they transformed into two snow-white blade waves dozens of metres long, directly resisting the Golden Horned Beast’s stomp.
Boom!
The air waves exploded. The powerful impact transformed into a terrifying shockwave that spread in all directions, even sending Dewin’s corpse flying in the distance. Many pieces of spaceship wreckage were also sent tumbling away.
“You are not bad!” The Golden Horned Beast’s voice rumbled like a god.
Boom!!!
The three sharp horns of the Golden Horned Beast emitted dazzling light. Golden streams of light quickly flowed along the strange golden secret patterns across its entire body.
Its scale armour wings, hooves, horns, and tail all underwent subtle changes. Even its scales seemed to become denser, and its claws became sharper.
One of its three innate talents, Enhancement!
The Golden Horned Beast’s strength instantly soared!
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
The four hooves, each resembling heavenly pillars, repeatedly stomped down. Under the Enhancement state, the incomparably powerful impact made Bai Kaluo completely unable to resist head-on.
“Roar!”
The Golden Horned Beast let out an excited low growl.
Buzz buzz buzz…
Strange fluctuations appeared throughout the Golden Horned Beast’s body. Most strangely, its entire body rapidly began shrinking. Every scale on its body shrank, and as they shrank, the essence of the scales seemed to undergo a mysterious transformation.
Its bones also rapidly shrank. The spine that had originally been five to six kilometres long shortened and narrowed to only two to three kilometres. The drastic increase in density caused the bones to undergo a strange change.
The three horns on its head also shrank, becoming even denser!
Yes!
The entire Golden Horned Beast, from a body length of more than six kilometres, directly became only slightly over three kilometres long.
The first layer of “The Original Body of Heaven and Earth” had been initially achieved!
When the first layer was completely mastered, the body’s length would shrink by three times and strength would increase by three times. Currently, through the precious materials Luo Feng purchased with his enormous wealth to cultivate this technique, the Golden Horned Beast could already shrink by two times, increasing its strength by two times!
Enhancement increased it by two times!
“The Original Body of Heaven and Earth” increased it by another two times!
“Boom!”
The hoof stomped down, and Bai Kaluo directly spat blood and was sent flying.
“Whoosh!”
The lightning-fast tail swept over. Its speed was so fast that Bai Kaluo had no time to dodge. His two blades were knocked away, and his arms exploded directly, causing blood to scatter everywhere.
Fortunately, the Golden Horned Beast controlled its strength and did not attack his vital points. Otherwise, Bai Kaluo could have been easily killed.
The Golden Horned Beast disappeared, and Luo Feng appeared in the starry sky.
“Di Fan.” Luo Feng looked at Bai Kaluo floating in space, heavily injured and unable to resist. “Take him to the nutrition chamber for recovery.”
“Yes.” A strange smile appeared on Di Fan’s honest face.
He had been used by his Master as a sparring partner and beaten countless times. Now, he finally had a “companion” to be beaten.
“Enhancement talent and The Original Body of Heaven and Earth, used together! Neither Di Fan nor Bai Kaluo had any ability to resist.” Luo Feng shook his head with a smile. “And I still have not used attacks containing the Golden Origin Law.”
A Golden Horned Beast that simply ate, slept, and naturally grew dared to claim invincibility among those of the same rank. Looking across the vast universe, it was extremely difficult to find an opponent capable of matching it. If someone could match it, that person would absolutely be considered a true super genius among the entire human race of the universe, someone who could dominate across countless universe nations.
And Luo Feng’s Golden Horned Beast had also desperately spent countless amounts of money to cultivate “The Original Body of Heaven and Earth” and desperately comprehended the origin laws of the universe!
If it did not work hard, then so be it. But once it worked hard with all its might…
Wanting to defeat the Golden Horned Beast was truly extremely difficult!
Inside the spaceship.
“Master.” Bai Kaluo, who had been thrown into the nutrition chamber, called out with complete submission.
“Alright, quickly heal your injuries.” Luo Feng casually replied.
After the treatment was complete, he would still need to use the slave soul seal.
