Return of the Craftsman God Master

In the void over three thousand light-years away from Craftsman God Star, the spaceship hung silently. “To go, or not to go?” Luo Feng pondered. Previously, he had sent his Youhai clone to venture in. Even if it failed, it would only consume a bit of energy, which Luo Feng wouldn't mind. If wearing the 'Jinzhen King Armor' was enough to resist, Luo Feng wouldn't care about a single Jinzhen King Armor! However... having personally experienced that power, coupled with the Craftsman God Master's three universe overlord disciples wearing ordinary supreme treasure battle armor yet only managing to stay in the external flames, both points made Luo Feng very certain—ordinary supreme treasure armor isn't enough! “Jie Jia?” “Risking Jie Jia?” Luo Feng frowned. His two most important supreme treasures were the Star Tower and Jie Jia! Even if he became a Universe Master in the future, Jie Jia would still be extremely precious. ... Luo Feng pondered for over six hours, numerous thoughts surfacing in his mind, each one dismissed. “Go!” Luo Feng gritted his teeth. A moment later, the Demon Killer Clan clone set off, bringing the Golden Horn Behemoth clone and the Youhai clone! Luo Feng possessed six supreme treasures in total... the Tower Pearl, Star Map, Wu Wing, Jie Jia, Jinzhen King Armor, and Nine Xia River! This time, when dispatching the Golden Horn Behemoth... Luo Feng gave it three of his six supreme treasures: Jie Jia, Wu Wing, and Nine Xia River! Jie Jia was for the Golden Horn Behemoth clone to resist the flames. Wu Wing and Nine Xia River were for the Golden Horn Behemoth to rely on for escape in case of an unexpected situation! As for the 'Jinzhen King Armor' and 'Star Map,' bringing them would be useless... And while the Tower Pearl was useful, it was the recognized master item of the Star Tower, not to be lost! Compared to Jie Jia... the ultimate supreme treasure 'Star Tower' was even more important to Luo Feng, so he naturally wouldn't easily risk the 'Tower Pearl'. “If it fails and Jie Jia is lost... even if Wu Wing and Nine Xia River are also lost, it wouldn't be much.” Luo Feng mused. Compared to the value of Jie Jia, Nine Xia River and Wu Wing combined were only a fraction of Jie Jia's worth. ... In the vast void where Craftsman God Star was located, spatial whirlpools stretched endlessly. The Demon Killer Clan clone hovered in the air, gazing at the distant, tiny planet—Craftsman God Star. “The fourth black metal plate, I must obtain it!” “And if the Craftsman God Master were here, I definitely wouldn't get it.” “The Craftsman God Master just happens to be absent... and my ninth senior brother and the other three universe overlords are also resting. This is a rare opportunity; if I miss it, who knows how long I'll have to wait.” “So I must act!” “Even if I fail and Jie Jia is lost... at worst, I'll retrieve it when I'm stronger in the future. After all, even if the Craftsman God Master obtains Jie Jia, he won't be able to recognize it as his master or use it. At most, I'll pay a price, and retrieving it shouldn't be too difficult. Even if I can't retrieve it, Teacher Zuoshanke wouldn't just stand by, would he? This Jie Jia was refined by him, and with his strength, retrieving it would certainly not be hard.” Luo Feng only set off after making numerous plans! Though Jie Jia was important, the fourth black metal plate of the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Manual' was even more crucial! Once obtained, he might very well enable his Golden Horn Behemoth clone's life gene level to reach perfection. At that point, it would at least be able to unleash the heaven-defying, transcendent innate secret technique 'I Am the Universe'. “With this move, my strength will greatly increase!” “Even if I die in battle without Jie Jia, with the endless Youhai clone, I can continuously condense new clones. What is there to fear?” Because of the endless Youhai, therefore, while Jie Jia was very important to Luo Feng, it wasn't indispensable. Of course, if it weren't for the fourth metal plate of the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Manual,' Luo Feng would never have taken such a huge risk. ... The Demon Killer Clan clone instantly teleported to Craftsman God Star, then instantly teleported again, entering Craftsman God Mountain. He was already very familiar with it, just like before... relying on the innate secret technique 'Domain,' he cautiously entered the cave, then the mountain's interior, slowly delving deeper. After using the innate secret technique 'Domain' over a hundred times, he reached the deepest part of the mountain's core. ... A Golden Horn Behemoth, about one meter long, hovered in mid-air, gazing at the black gourd in the distance connected by 36 void chains. The mouth of the black gourd continuously spewed endless flames. The power of the flames from the gourd's mouth was simply incredible; ordinary heavy treasures would likely be instantly incinerated. At this moment, the Golden Horn Behemoth had unleashed all its abilities, including 'Original Universe,' 'Beast God Transformation,' and 'Innate Secret Technique Enhancement,' pushing its strength to the absolute limit. It even carried a World Ring hidden within its body, where the Youhai clone and Demon Killer Clan clone were also concealed. “As my divine power is consumed, the Youhai clone can continuously provide divine power.” “The divine power of two massive divine bodies—the Golden Horn Behemoth clone and the Youhai clone... plus the defense of Jie Jia!” “I refuse to believe I still can't obtain the fourth black metal plate.” The Golden Horn Behemoth rapidly shrunk, becoming no larger than a fist. Whoosh! It flew directly towards the gourd's mouth. This black gourd was over three meters tall, and its mouth, roughly the size of a human head, constantly spewed flames. The Golden Horn Behemoth, with a whoosh, directly burrowed into the gourd's mouth. ... Inside the black gourd, within the flame space. The moment the Golden Horn Behemoth entered, it felt an incredibly terrifying heat. One must know that this black gourd was specifically designed to extract extremely potent flames for the 'Craftsman God Master' to forge weapons. As for the flames spewed outwards... they were merely a small portion intentionally leaked by the black gourd. The flames accumulated inside over endless ages were far more powerful; even top-tier heavy treasure sets would likely be instantly incinerated. “Boom~~~” The flames were endless. The Golden Horn Behemoth quickly reverted to over a meter in length, simultaneously burning its divine body to activate Jie Jia, allowing it to maintain its strongest defensive power. “Hahaha... good, good, good, Jie Jia is indeed formidable. Although these flames are powerful, after being weakened by Jie Jia to one ten-thousandth... even if my divine body is still being consumed, the speed is extremely, extremely slow. By the time I retrieve the black metal plate and leave, I doubt even two-tenths of my divine body will be consumed.” In truth, this consumption was already astonishing, but it clearly made Luo Feng feel quite at ease. Whoosh! The Golden Horn Behemoth flew directly downwards. Its divine body was also slowly being consumed... 99.9%, 99.7%, 99.5%... 98.7%... But as soon as a little was consumed, the Youhai clone within the Golden Horn Behemoth's World Ring transmitted divine power to replenish the Golden Horn Behemoth's divine body, instantly restoring it to 100%. In terms of total divine body mass, the Youhai clone and the Golden Horn Behemoth clone were nearly identical. Whoosh! Whoosh! Luo Feng continuously flew downwards... The space inside this gourd wasn't large, roughly ten thousand kilometers in diameter. The Golden Horn Behemoth quickly descended to the bottom of this flame space. But upon reaching the bottom... it felt an incredibly terrifying heat. The flames at the very bottom of the black gourd were far more powerful than in other areas of the flame space, clearly the essence of countless ages of accumulated flame energy. Even within those flames, a strange purple hue faintly shimmered. 97%—94%—91%—88%... The divine body consumption rate was astonishing. “Not good, I must hurry!” The Golden Horn Behemoth landed on a section of the flame space's bottom, where numerous materials were scattered. Immediately, it extended a sharp claw and grabbed directly at the fourth black metal plate. “Buzz~~~” The black metal plate and the numerous materials scattered at the bottom all faintly glowed with a layer of black light. Endless black light connected them, preventing the Golden Horn Behemoth from grabbing the black metal plate for a moment. “Roar~~” The Golden Horn Behemoth looked down. The endless flames throughout the flame space were actually continuously drilling into the bottom of the black gourd along the secret pattern lines within these black lights, causing the entire bottom of the black gourd to accumulate increasingly powerful energy. This was clearly a special secret technique seal for transmitting and storing energy, and those materials were also sealed within it. “A secret technique seal for energy transmission, without a master controlling it, thinks it can stop me?” “Break!!!” Wu Wing slashed fiercely! Pfft! The black light was directly severed. Immediately, its hoof-claw easily grasped the black metal plate, then bit it and swallowed it into its body. Divine power recognized it as its master, and just like countless times before, the information within the black metal plate began to transmit. “Go!” The Golden Horn Behemoth dared not hesitate, because even with a slight delay in retrieving the black metal plate, its divine body had been consumed to only 62%, and the Youhai clone, due to energy replenishment, was also depleted to only 68%... Whoosh! The Golden Horn Behemoth shrunk to the size of a fist, transforming into a streak of light, and flew directly out of the flame space's gourd mouth, landing on a distant rock. “Finally, I have it.” A hint of joy appeared in the Golden Horn Behemoth's eyes. “Boom!!!” Endless pressure descended, like countless mountain ranges pressing down, causing the Golden Horn Behemoth to show terror... Not good! Severing that secret technique seal had indeed alerted the Craftsman God Master who laid it, and he had rushed back to his lair immediately. “Dare to break my secret technique!” An ancient voice rang out. Boom! A gigantic, glazed arm pierced through layers of flames and descended directly. The Golden Horn Behemoth, moving slowly under the spatial-temporal restraint, was instantly seized! The Golden Horn Behemoth felt an overwhelming pressure instantly bear down. Even with 'Jie Jia' weakening it to one ten-thousandth, its divine body was still rapidly consumed, frantically depleting... The divine body, which was previously at 62%, rapidly plummeted: 50%... 42%... 36%... “Replenish!” “Youhai clone, replenish!!!” The Golden Horn Behemoth panicked. The Youhai clone's energy rapidly replenished, causing the divine body to frantically recover. When the hand ceased applying pressure, the Youhai clone's divine body was completely depleted, and the Golden Horn Behemoth's divine body was only at 42%. “You can withstand my full grip and not die?” The gigantic, glazed rock arm, clutching the Golden Horn Behemoth, rumbled. As the Craftsman God Master, that grip... actually contained the essence of his usual hammer-wielding, possessing endless power. Ordinary universe overlords would be instantly annihilated. “Since you can withstand my full grip, and you only took a material of little use, I will spare your life...” Rumble~~~ Space reversed. Previously in the mountain's interior, the Golden Horn Behemoth only felt the surrounding space-time shift. When it could see clearly again, it was already in the void outside Craftsman God Star, where numerous gigantic spatial whirlpools were visible in the distance. “Around my Craftsman God Star, there are 98,200 natural wormholes, two of which lead to death zones!” The gigantic mountain-like giant, reaching tens of millions of kilometers in height, grabbed the tiny Golden Horn Behemoth and directly tossed it into one of the massive spatial whirlpools. On the floating stone tablet before that spatial whirlpool were the crimson words 'Death Zone'. “You withstood my grip...” “I'll give you a sliver of a chance to live.” The rumbling voice echoed in Luo Feng's mind, and immediately after, the Golden Horn Behemoth clone had already passed through the spatial whirlpool.
