Innate Secret Technique

The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual can only be cultivated by flesh-and-blood lifeforms. Luo Feng's Demon Killer Clan clone, being an energy lifeform, therefore has a significant disparity compared to his Earth human true body and Golden Horn Behemoth clone. Even when the essence of the core 'Heart of Space' from that Origin-type supreme treasure was fully transmitted, causing the Demon Killer Clan clone to undergo a transformation, it still couldn't break through the 'hundredfold' limit. It was destined that the Demon Killer Clan clone would be far inferior in terms of pure power. Its primary uses were for 'escape,' 'concealment,' and 'disguise.' Combat? That still had to rely on his true body and the Golden Horn Behemoth clone. Luo Feng chose the clone resembling the Nine Abyssal Sea precisely because of its boundless and vast ocean of divine power. "Hahaha, this is simply a windfall from the heavens." Black-Clothed Luo Feng's laughter swept out in all directions like a shockwave. "What an unexpected surprise! If this third clone can cultivate the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, then its potential is limitless. It might even be able to rival the Nine Abyssal Master. In that case, I'll call this third clone... the Youhai Clone." Youhai! From this moment on, his true body and three clones were set! He had his Earth human true body, the first clone was the Golden Horn Behemoth clone, the second clone was the Demon Killer Clan clone, and the third clone was the Youhai Clone! "The foundation is laid. Will I, Luo Feng, become a frail sapling in this forest of cosmic powerhouses, or will I grow into the mightiest, towering tree? It all depends on my future efforts!" Luo Feng was filled with heroic spirit at this moment. With his true body and three clones, establishing himself in the forest of cosmic powerhouses would no longer be difficult. "First, let me thoroughly examine this Youhai Clone of mine." ... The Youhai Clone was indeed very handsome, but its size was immense, standing nearly ten thousand kilometers tall. Sitting cross-legged on the grassland, it resembled a colossal statue. "Power, approximately 300 times that of a Sector Lord." The Youhai Clone's voice was deep. "It seems my Youhai Clone's life gene level is about 300 times! The life gene level of a Sector Lord-level World Tree is around a thousand times. No wonder this Youhai Clone could be successfully nurtured. But with a life gene level of only 300 times, why such an enormous size?" Generally, the higher the life gene level, the larger the size. Of course, for special lifeforms like plant-types and rock-types, even with a life gene level of several hundred times, their size is still terrifyingly massive. After all, even ordinary lifeforms like the Moyun Vine can reach millions of kilometers, showing that plant lifeforms inherently have an advantage in size. "The Youhai Clone is a flesh-and-blood lifeform, so how can it be this massive?" The Youhai Clone sat cross-legged, simultaneously beginning to carefully sense its own body. Soon, it felt that the bones, muscles, blood vessels, and blood of its colossal body subtly carried the aura of laws, containing faint traces of information. Luo Feng's consciousness absorbed this information. ... "So that's how it is," the Youhai Clone murmured softly. "Even the Chaos City Lord doesn't know what Innate Secret Techniques the Nine Abyssal Master possesses. But in reality, the Nine Abyssal Master definitely has Innate Secret Techniques, because my Youhai Clone alone possesses two great Innate Secret Techniques." The information contained within this massive body also allowed Luo Feng to fully comprehend some of the mysteries of the Nine Abyssal World. The Youhai Clone has two great Innate Secret Techniques: First, Transform into Sea. Second, Creation. The first Innate Secret Technique, 'Transform into Sea,' allows the Youhai Clone to instantly transform into an ocean approximately 100,000 kilometers in diameter. The space-time around this ocean will be controlled by it. This control becomes increasingly exaggerated as the Youhai Clone's strength grows. When weak, its influence on space-time is minimal, but when strong... like the Nine Abyssal Master, his Nine Abyssal Sea's control over the surrounding space-time reaches its limit, and no other Universe Master dares to intrude into that Nine Abyssal Space. The second Innate Secret Technique, 'Creation,' allows the Youhai Clone, while transformed into a sea, to have its entire body—bones, muscles, flesh, and blood—completely transform into a sea of blood. With this 'Creation' talent, it can refine energy, combine life genes, and ultimately condense life. If used well, this method can create an entire race. Because this race is created, they will forever be subservient and reverent to their creator. "Such powerful Innate Secret Techniques," the Youhai Clone said in a deep voice. "No wonder, no wonder it needs such an enormous size." "If it were small, how could it transform into a sea?" "Once it transforms into a sea, it can control the surrounding space-time to a certain extent, which is equivalent to a massive surge in power. This should be considered a heaven-defying offensive method. It's somewhat similar to the World Tree's 'Space-Time Mastery.'" "As for Creation, it might seem a bit redundant, but that race in the Nine Abyssal World was probably created this way. Energy lifeforms should be the easiest type of life to create; as long as one researches the life core crystal, one can produce individual lifeforms." Luo Feng nodded secretly. "Although it seems redundant, creating a race that is completely subservient to oneself is quite an achievement." "Hahaha..." "Everything I hadn't expected, I've received. This 'Youhai Clone' can influence the surrounding space-time and possesses innate talent in space-time." The Youhai Clone's voice was deep and resonant, echoing between heaven and earth. "And it's also a flesh-and-blood lifeform." Being a flesh-and-blood lifeform and having space-time talent were both unexpected gains, delighting Luo Feng. "However... the sea of blood, why is the size of the sea of blood incorrect?" "The information transmitted by the Innate Secret Technique states that it can instantly transform into an ocean approximately 100,000 kilometers in diameter. But the oceans of the Imperial Princes and the Nine Abyssal Master are much, much larger." The Youhai Clone frowned, lost in thought. A Sector Lord-level Imperial Prince's sea of blood is approximately 80 million kilometers in diameter. An Immortal-level Imperial Prince's Imperial Sea is approximately 960 million kilometers in diameter. A Universe Venerable-level Imperial Prince's Imperial Sea ranges from approximately 32 billion to 101 billion kilometers in diameter. Yet, the information from his own Innate Secret Technique states that 'Transform into Sea' can only create an ocean approximately 100,000 kilometers in diameter. This is a huge difference even compared to a Sector Lord-level Imperial Prince. "'Transform into Sea!'" The Youhai Clone instantly unleashed its Innate Secret Technique. Rumble~~~~ Its entire body—bones, muscles, skin, and blood—instantly dissolved. In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a surging, monstrous sea of blood, approximately 100,000 kilometers in diameter, churning in the mid-air of Luo Feng's inner world. The moment it transformed into a sea, Luo Feng's consciousness sensed a subtle control this 'sea of blood' had over the surrounding space-time. However, likely due to its Sector Lord level, this control was clearly very weak. Yet, its perception of 'time' and 'space' was extremely clear, evidently possessing a very strong space-time talent. "Bigger." "Bigger." "Make it bigger." Luo Feng's consciousness controlled the sea of blood, but no matter how he tried, the sea of blood's diameter remained only about 100,000 kilometers, not even reaching the normal standard of 80 million kilometers for a Sector Lord-level Imperial Prince. ... "How can this be?" The sea of blood churned in mid-air, while the Golden Horn Behemoth and Demon Killer Clan clones pondered on the grassland. "After my Youhai Clone transforms into a sea, why is it different from the Nine Abyssal Master and the 108 Imperial Princes? Its size is clearly not as large as theirs." Luo Feng was very puzzled. A sea of blood with a diameter of only 100,000 kilometers—if it were merely a special lifeform of that size, there would be countless such beings in the universe, many plant-type and rock-type lifeforms being far larger! After a moment of thought, he integrated the information. "No, that's not right." "The Nine Abyssal Master and the 108 Imperial Princes seem to be different from me." "The Innate Secret Technique 'Transform into Sea' allows for instant transformation into a sea and instant reversion to the original form." The sea of blood churning in mid-air instantly reverted, transforming back into the Youhai Clone, nearly ten thousand kilometers tall. The Youhai Clone spoke in a deep voice, "However, those 108 Imperial Seas, and the Nine Abyssal Sea, haven't changed for billions of years, nor have they even moved!" The Nine Abyssal Sea, with a diameter exceeding 10 light-years! It formed the Nine Abyssal Space and has remained in the Ancestral God Mystery Realm for countless ages. The oceans of the 108 Imperial Princes have also stayed at the core of the Nine Abyssal World without moving. "Furthermore, according to what Teacher Chaos City Lord said, if the Nine Abyssal Master goes out to battle and dies, the Nine Abyssal Sea... will once again nurture a new Nine Abyssal Master." "But the Innate Secret Technique 'Transform into Sea' means it's either a sea or the true body; they cannot coexist simultaneously. If the true body is killed, it should directly perish. If it can be nurtured again, it means the one who died wasn't the true body!" Luo Feng pondered. "There's only one way to achieve what the Nine Abyssal Master does, and that is... first transform into a sea, then use the 'Creation' talent to create an energy clone, with most of the consciousness gathered in that energy clone." "This way, if the energy clone is destroyed, it can be condensed again." "And why the Nine Abyssal Sea never moves, I suspect, isn't because he doesn't want to move, but because he cannot move." Luo Feng quickly deduced, "If he could move, then the Nine Abyssal Master, carrying the Nine Abyssal Sea, traversing the universe, wouldn't he be invincible?" "Which means..." "While the Nine Abyssal Sea is boundlessly vast, it is also immobile." ... Luo Feng quickly inferred much information from various clues, and gradually, the truth unfolded before him. "The Nine Abyssal Master and his Imperial Princes used some special method to continuously enlarge the oceans they transformed into... and the price for this was the inability to move autonomously," Luo Feng mused. "Although they cannot move, their immense size grants them virtually endless divine power, achieving an immortal body." Special lifeforms like plant-types and rock-types rarely move. The larger the volume, the harder it is to move autonomously. For something as vast as the 'Nine Abyssal Ocean,' being unable to move autonomously is not surprising. "What method did they use to make the oceans they transformed into so enormous?" The sea of blood, nearly 100,000 kilometers in diameter, continuously vibrated in mid-air. How could it transform from 100,000 kilometers to 80 million kilometers? This was an entirely different scale. An ocean of 80 million kilometers in diameter would contain vastly more energy than one 100,000 kilometers in diameter. Moreover, conventionally, even upon becoming an Immortal, the size generally remains unchanged; the body height would still be nearly ten thousand kilometers, and the transformed sea would still be 100,000 kilometers. Yet, the oceans transformed by the Imperial Princes, at the Immortal and Universe Venerable levels, grew progressively larger. The largest ocean of a Universe Venerable-level Imperial Prince reached a diameter of 101 billion kilometers. "How exactly did the Nine Abyssal Master and his Imperial Princes achieve this?"
