Enslavement

Luo Feng had captured Moluosa alive, preventing other Beasts from killing it. His original intention was to ensure the ultimate 'Beast King' could never be born, thereby hoping to overcome the Beast Calamity. However, this path now seemed unfeasible, and things might not be so easily accomplished. Luo Feng then considered another route—

Enslaving Moluosa!

Once Moluosa became his soul slave, as a slave, it would inherently trust Luo Feng from the depths of its soul, even willing to die for him. At that point, it would naturally reveal everything without reservation.

“Once enslavement succeeds, I might even be able to cultivate Moluosa into the final king,” Luo Feng mused. “It might be incredibly difficult, but even if the cultivation fails, if it becomes my slave… it will truly serve me wholeheartedly, revealing all information about the Beast Lair, its strengths, and weaknesses. Knowing oneself and one's enemy ensures victory in every battle.”

From every perspective, enslaving the Beast would greatly increase their chances of winning.

“Hiss!”

When the triangular, translucent light entered Moluosa’s body, a faint sound was heard, and then Luo Feng could no longer sense it.

“Failed?” Luo Feng frowned.

“Hahahaha…” Both of Moluosa’s heads laughed wildly, its face still full of disdain. “Galaxy Lord, you’re too confident. You want to enslave me? I am an incredibly great life form nurtured by the Universe Ocean, a being that represents destruction, standing in opposition to the Primal Universe. And you think you can enslave me?”

Luo Feng said indifferently, “To be precise, it’s the king born from the eventual ten billion Beasts that represents destruction and opposes the Primal Universe. As for you? You’re not worthy yet.”

Moluosa’s two single eyes stared at Luo Feng, grinning maliciously, “Yes, I’m not worthy, but you are merely a life form nurtured by the Primal Universe… and you want to enslave me?”

“Just watch,” Luo Feng said coldly.

Luo Feng’s fingers twitched slightly, and wisps of invisible threads quickly condensed before him. Billions of threads soon formed a strange symbol, adorned with a character composed of secret patterns—the ancient civilization’s word for ‘Slave’! This transparent symbol then swiftly tore through space and directly invaded Moluosa’s body.

Hiss!

A faint sound emerged, and Luo Feng once again lost all sensation of the symbol.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng frowned.

“How was that?” Moluosa gloated. “Bring on whatever other methods you have, go on. I am a Beast in its gestation period, and you True Gods are in the same stage. You are just a True God… how could you possibly enslave me? Hurry up, show me everything you’ve got.”

Moluosa, currently suppressed by Luo Feng, felt immense satisfaction in making Luo Feng stumble.

“Hmph,” Luo Feng’s eyes narrowed.

Whoosh!

Two columns of shimmering golden light shot from Luo Feng’s eyes, intertwining in mid-air. Immediately, countless golden threads wove together, forming a massive golden net… which directly enveloped Moluosa’s body, penetrating into it, and then completely dissipated with a hiss.

“How can this be?” Moluosa’s mocking laughter echoed in Luo Feng’s ears, but Luo Feng couldn’t be bothered to pay attention; it was just a suppressed Beast.

“The methods I’m using are top-tier enslavement techniques from the Duan Dong River lineage and Jinzhi World,” Luo Feng found it hard to believe. “I didn’t even sense its resistance; some of my techniques simply dissipated.”

Normally, enslavement would be met with resistance from the target.

One side seeks to enslave, the other resists.

If the resistance fails… enslavement occurs.

But his top-tier enslavement techniques dissipated directly upon entering Beast Moluosa’s body, without sensing any resistance.

“And I didn’t sense any consumption either,” Luo Feng wondered.

Divine power and Beast power would typically consume each other.

However, ethereal divine power attacks would not cause consumption. For instance, many True Gods could use soul attacks to directly penetrate a Beast’s body for a ‘soul impact.’ But his ethereal divine power techniques… dissipated directly without encountering any resistance.

“Could it really be because… it represents destruction? I’m not qualified to enslave it?” Luo Feng shook his head, unwilling to give up easily.

“Perhaps I need to use Beast power.”

Luo Feng pondered.

…

Moluosa was immensely pleased, mocking and ridiculing Luo Feng loudly, “You think you can enslave me? Hahahaha… Come on, come on, let’s see what else you—how is this possible!” Moluosa stared in astonishment at the white-robed man before it. Luo Feng’s aura rapidly changed, and his power shifted.

Soon, Luo Feng’s entire body turned pitch black, exuding an evil aura, just like a true Beast. The only difference was that Beasts had two heads, while Luo Feng only had one; he couldn’t be bothered to change his appearance completely.

“How could you transform into…” Moluosa immediately shook its heads. “It must be fake, just a superficial imitation. Your power definitely isn’t Beast power.” Ordinary Beasts could also transform into the appearance of True Gods and emit divine power, but those were all ‘empty facades,’ not true divine power.

“Oh?”

Luo Feng pointed from a distance, and wisps of invisible threads quickly condensed in mid-air, soon forming that symbol again, bearing the ancient civilization’s ‘Slave’ character. However, the difference between this symbol and the last was that the power composing it was Beast power, burning to its extreme.

The symbol swiftly floated away, and Moluosa grew tense. The symbol directly entered its chest.

Hiss!

It penetrated rapidly.

“Realm?” Luo Feng raised an eyebrow. He could sense the ‘Realm’ within Moluosa’s body through the ‘symbol.’ His previous attempts had all dissipated automatically upon touching this ‘Realm,’ preventing him from even sensing it. But this time, upon touching the ‘Realm,’ it easily penetrated.

“No wonder it didn’t work before. A Beast’s body contains a ‘Realm’ that resists all foreign powers,” Luo Feng murmured.

Moluosa’s soul resided deep within the most important part of its internal ‘Realm.’

“Roar~~”

The soul roared, resisting with all its might.

The symbol emitted boundless light, forcefully attempting to suppress, to adhere to the soul, to merge into the soul.

“Roar.” The soul fought with all its strength, and it already had power amplification within its ‘Realm.’

After a long stalemate…

Bang!

The symbol ultimately dissipated, and the enslavement failed.

…

Moluosa looked at Luo Feng in disbelief. It truly hadn’t expected that a strong individual from the various life forms of the Universe Ocean—which it considered mere food—could actually use ‘Beast power’! Although Luo Feng was powerful, in its eyes before, he was just a relatively strong piece of food.

It couldn’t kill Luo Feng, but that was only because it was too weak.

But now it wavered. The weak 'food' in its eyes could actually use Beast power. This Luo Feng hadn’t pledged allegiance to the ‘Beasts,’ after all, if he had… with a single thought, Luo Feng wouldn’t be able to resist.

Without pledging allegiance to the Beasts, without receiving any bestowal, he could simply wield Beast power on his own.

“You are formidable, more terrifying than I imagined. But what good does that do? Since my birth, my will has been naturally incredibly strong,” Moluosa stared at Luo Feng. “My soul is also near perfect. You want to enslave me? It’s impossible! Even if you possess Beast power, you absolutely cannot enslave me.”

Luo Feng, however, smiled. He didn’t care about Moluosa’s blustering.

Although the last attempt failed, Luo Feng understood that using ‘Beast power’ for enslavement techniques had a chance of success.

“The failure just now shows that my soul enslavement technique isn’t powerful enough,” Luo Feng thought.

“I need to learn stronger soul enslavement methods.”

Immediately, Luo Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, facing the distant Beast Moluosa.

The power of a thought-space, the suppressive force of suppressed space, and the power of the universe’s origin—these three forces suppressed every bit of Moluosa’s power, making self-detonation impossible.

“Come on, you…” Moluosa continued to curse, mock, and provoke.

But Luo Feng treated it all as a gentle breeze, completely unconcerned. At this moment, most of his consciousness was focused on his divine power clone beneath the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar, allowing the clone to continuously research soul enslavement methods under a million-fold time acceleration, beginning to study more profound techniques.

Although the birth of his Miniature Universe had brought significant insights and improvements through understanding the evolution of chaos.

However, in the more than a year since becoming a True God, apart from uncovering his physical potential and understanding ‘Formless and Invisible,’ Luo Feng had primarily focused on digesting his insights to reach the peak of his strength. His energy had mainly been spent on the Star Tower, Wuqishen, and various combat secret techniques, among other things.

He had never spent energy researching ‘soul enslavement’ methods. Before this battle… Luo Feng hadn’t even considered enslaving a Beast.

…

The higher the foundation, the more advanced enslavement methods one can naturally learn.

The technique Luo Feng was now diligently studying was an enslavement method obtained in Jinzhi World. This method, from when the Jin Kingdom still existed, was an ultimate technique of a super-being, a 'Saint,' under His Majesty the Jinzhi God King, named “Three-Star Realm.” It was considered the strongest soul enslavement method in the entire Jinzhi World, even surpassing those created by the Jinzhi God King himself.

As the saying goes, each has their specialty; in enslavement methods… that super-being was the strongest in the Jin Kingdom.

“Three-Star Realm” was, in fact, an illusion-based enslavement method.

Enslavement methods were divided into various types, such as forceful enslavement and illusionary enslavement. Among them, illusionary enslavement… involved making the target unknowingly fall into an illusion, becoming a slave without realizing it.

…

Time flowed by. This ultimate technique was extremely profound, and in the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed.

“Luo Feng? Why hasn’t he returned yet?” Chaos City Lord couldn’t help but send an inquiry.

Previously, when Luo Feng captured the Beast, he had said he would extract information from it and asked Chaos City Lord and the others to go ahead, promising to return soon. Unexpectedly, more than a year had passed, and Luo Feng still hadn’t returned.

In the ‘Miniature Universe’ filled with endless chaotic energy.

A Star Tower floated.

Inside the Star Tower, in a suppressed space, the Beast and Luo Feng faced each other. The Beast had been mocking, ridiculing, cursing, and provoking, while Luo Feng sat cross-legged, ignoring it all.

“Teacher, I’ll be back soon,” Luo Feng finally flipped out a Communication Token and replied. The vibration of the token had just startled him, for he had mastered the first volume of “Three-Star Realm.”

“You…” Moluosa was stunned. Luo Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged for over a year, had stood up.

“I wonder if you can still endure this time,” Luo Feng said, looking at Moluosa.
