Chapter 252
Luo Feng's Responsibility
“A domain?” Luo Feng was somewhat surprised. On Earth, only Hong possessed a domain, and it was precisely because of this that Hong was the undisputed strongest man in the world. But now, hearing Hong’s words, it seemed even Lei Shen had developed his own domain. “Impossible!!!” “How is that possible?” In the smart space on his wrist, Babata’s eyes widened as he couldn’t help but exclaim, “A domain! How can two individuals, both planetary-level warriors, suddenly emerge on one planet with domains? This is utterly impossible! One anomaly is already like winning the lottery jackpot. How can there be two?” “Babata, there’s no need to be so flustered,” Luo Feng communicated mentally. “Lei Shen having a domain means there’s a greater chance of success in a deathmatch against the Golden Horned Beast. It’s a good thing.” Luo Feng’s mood was heavy. “No, Luo Feng, you don’t understand.” In the smart space, Babata quickly said, “Let me put it this way: your Duntiansuo has three major forms, divided into nine layers. You should remember the conditions for activating the third form, right?” “I remember. Reaching the ‘Cosmic Level,’ with an amplitude of 48, and also possessing one’s own domain—only then can it be cultivated and utilized.” Luo Feng remembered it clearly. “Three conditions, and reaching the Cosmic Level is only one of them. What does that mean? It means that even among Cosmic Level powerhouses, some don’t have domains! Cosmic Level, mind you—normally, only one Cosmic Level being emerges per galaxy! And even they might not have a domain!” Babata couldn’t help but feel a little frantic. “According to the four major layers of cultivation: Foundation—Conception—Domain—World! Luo Feng, you’re still in the ‘Foundation’ stage.” “Even among Star Level powerhouses, only a very, very small number possess their own domains.” “A planetary-level warrior wanting to possess a domain? It’s like stumbling upon a pile of dog shit and winning the lottery jackpot! It’s one thing that your Earth has one ‘Hong,’ but now this ‘Lei Shen’ also has a domain? Statistically speaking, it’s... it’s literally one in hundreds of billions!!!” Babata couldn’t help but shout. Luo Feng thought about it; Babata’s shock was indeed justified. A Cosmic Level existence, born only one per galaxy, might not even possess a domain. The difficulty for a planetary-level warrior to have one was unimaginable. Yet, Earth suddenly had two! “Alright then,” Babata nodded. “With Lei Shen possessing a domain, if he and Hong join forces to unleash a desperate strike, there is indeed hope for success.” “Hope?” Luo Feng was pleasantly surprised to hear those three words from Babata. “Yes, Luo Feng, you haven’t ventured into the cosmos, so you don’t know how rare it is to possess a domain. If Hong and Lei Shen were discovered in the universe, they would either be killed out of jealousy or swiftly invited to join by major powers. A planetary-level warrior with a domain is absolutely synonymous with genius.” “And a domain powerhouse, once they decide to fight with their lives on the line!” “They become terrifying. Because they can truly integrate their genetic energy, physical strength, mental power, and consciousness, triggering a resonance with cosmic space,” Babata explained. “And when fighting desperately, they will burn their souls, allowing this combination of various powers to reach an extremely frightening level.” “Without fighting desperately, a domain powerhouse within the planetary level is said to be invincible within their own tier.” “Once they fight with their lives on the line, one is a planetary-level seventh-tier, and the other is a planetary-level eighth-tier. It seems Hong’s mastery of the ‘domain’ is even deeper, perhaps having already entered the second layer of the domain. If those two burn their souls and fight to the death, it’s truly hard to say,” Babata sighed with emotion. “Two peerless geniuses... if they were in the cosmos, they wouldn’t even need to fight so desperately.” On the lawn of Mingyue Residential District, Luo Feng watched as fighter jets flew away, one after another. “Hong, Lei Shen, you must succeed!” Luo Feng murmured to himself. “Roar~~” “Rumble~~” From the east, roars, explosions, and the howls of monsters echoed, with flames soaring into the sky. Earlier that morning, the sea monsters had already begun their true assault on Jiangnan Base City! However, with decades of preparation, human society was absolutely capable of resisting the sea monsters’ attacks for a short period. “Creak!” Luo Feng pushed open the door and entered the living room. The entire family was in the living room. “Brother, how did it go?” Luo Hua stood up and quickly asked. “Is the Devouring Beast dead?” Xu Xin, who had been sitting on the sofa, stood up, looking at Luo Feng with nervous anticipation. All seven people in the living room were watching Luo Feng. He had previously revealed that there would be an attack on the Devouring Beast today, and he was quite confident it could be killed. “No.” Luo Feng shook his head slightly. “However, there’s still hope,” Luo Feng said in a low voice. “There must be hope.” With that, Luo Feng went straight upstairs. The seven people in the hall exchanged glances. Gong Xinlan whispered, “Xiao Feng is under immense pressure. Xu Xin, go up and keep him company.” “Okay.” Xu Xin immediately went up the stairs. In the second-floor bedroom. Luo Feng lay directly on the bed, staring at the ceiling. “Babata, is there any other way to kill the Devouring Beast?” Luo Feng asked. “No. Even the B6-level laser cannon failed and was destroyed. There are no other options. We can only rely on the two planetary-level domain geniuses to fight with their lives on the line,” Babata said. “If they burn their souls, there’s still a chance.” “Babata.” Luo Feng quickly thought, “My Red-Mixed Copper Mother Fragment is incredibly sharp. If Hong and Lei Shen used it, wouldn’t its power be even greater? Perhaps it could kill the Golden Horned Beast.” “No, one uses a spear, and the other uses a saber,” Babata refuted. “Only with their spear and saber can they maximize the power of their domains. How could two warriors use a single fragment of this Red-Mixed Copper Mother Fragment? Only you, as a mental-force user, can utilize it.” Luo Feng’s heart was filled with anxiety. This feeling of waiting for ‘humanity’s demise’ was agonizing. Yet, he was utterly helpless. “Don’t worry, I’m currently forging a long spear and a battle saber,” Babata said. “Hong and Lei Shen’s weapons—spear and saber—while considered divine weapons on Earth, are far too inferior in the cosmos. I’m using some metal materials from the spaceship to craft and polish two weapons for them. In terms of sharpness and toughness, they will absolutely surpass what they’re currently using.” “Good.” Luo Feng suddenly heard footsteps outside, and saw Xu Xin push open the door and enter. “You must be tired, right?” Xu Xin sat on the bed and gently massaged Luo Feng’s shoulders. “I’m alright.” Luo Feng, smelling the faint scent emanating from Xu Xin, couldn’t help but reach out and pull her into his embrace. Xu Xin snuggled closer into Luo Feng’s arms, resting her head on his chest, and whispered, “Luo Feng, there’s something I wanted to tell you after this disaster passed, but I’m afraid if I don’t say it now, I might not get another chance.” “What is it?” Luo Feng asked, puzzled. “I... I’m pregnant,” Xu Xin said softly. Her voice was very soft, yet it exploded like thunder in Luo Feng’s ears. Gasp! Luo Feng shot up into a sitting position, looking at Xu Xin in shock. “You... you said...” “Yes.” Xu Xin nodded slightly. “Haha, let me scan... Oh, tsk tsk, it’s true, and they’re twins, both boys. Haha...” Babata’s voice echoed in Luo Feng’s sea of consciousness. “Pregnant? This, this...” Luo Feng’s eyes widened. His heart was filled with both joy and anxiety. “What kind of situation is this?!” Indeed, during the winter break, he and Xu Xin had lived together and even started discussing when to get married. When a man and a woman live alone together, things naturally progress. If not for the Golden Horned Beast, Luo Feng would have been overjoyed to learn of Xu Xin’s pregnancy. But now— The entire human society was on the verge of collapse, and Xu Xin was pregnant, with twins no less! “You’re not happy?” Xu Xin was startled. “No, I am happy, but my mind is in turmoil.” Luo Feng felt an inexplicable anxiety in his heart; without any preparation, a heavy burden had fallen upon his shoulders! Sigh! Back when he and Xu Xin got together, he hadn’t thought about prevention, believing that pregnancy would be a good thing anyway, since they were going to get married. But who would have thought that now... If the Golden Horned Beast couldn’t be killed, then human society would surely be doomed. Even if he had the ability to protect his wife and children, would he let them live a solitary life? Moreover, Luo Feng knew very well—without reaching the planetary level, venturing into the cosmos was courting death! “Luo Feng, what are you thinking about?” Xu Xin reached out and grabbed Luo Feng’s arm. “Nothing.” Luo Feng gently embraced Xu Xin, then lowered his head, resting it on her abdomen. This made Xu Xin chuckle, “It’s still too early, you won’t hear anything, right?” “I can hear it.” Luo Feng silently thought, *That is the inheritance of bloodline.* Previously, when Hong spoke of wanting his children to have hope for survival, Luo Feng hadn’t fully resonated with it. But now... he did! It was a truly wondrous feeling! “Children, I don’t know if I’ll have time to see you born. But I promise, you will definitely have a beautiful childhood, you can go to school, you can learn martial arts... I won’t let you live in fear, or live days without hope. I promise! I guarantee it with my life!” January 16th, morning. A mist still hung in the air. Luo Feng, riding his Duntiansuo, arrived at Hongning Base City. On the streets of Hongning Base City, no pedestrians were visible, only large numbers of troops advancing rapidly. Luo Feng landed at the entrance of a star-transport ship. “Inspector Luo.” The guards at the entrance saluted respectfully. Luo Feng walked straight in, quickly heading towards the training room where Hong and Lei Shen were in seclusion. As he advanced along the corridor, Luo Feng saw two people, a young man and a young woman. The woman’s facial features resembled Hong’s. Luo Feng had previously seen information about Hong’s children. “Inspector Luo.” The young man and woman immediately saluted. “You two are the Dojo Master’s children, aren’t you?” Luo Feng inquired. Although they looked young, both of them were actually older than Luo Feng; they only appeared youthful due to their strength. “Yes.” The young man and woman both had slightly red eyes, clearly having just cried. “I won’t go see the Dojo Master. Please give these two weapons to the Dojo Master and Lei Shen, respectively. Also—this personal body armor, give it to Lei Shen.” Luo Feng said, directly handing over the backpack he was carrying. Inside were two sharp weapons Babata had hastily forged overnight, as well as the personal body armor, a relic of the deceased officer who owned the Heilong Mountain X81 spaceship. Hong had the Moyun Vine for full body protection, so he didn’t need it. It was naturally better to give it to Lei Shen. “This—” The young man and woman were somewhat surprised. “The Dojo Master doesn’t usually look after you much, but your father is truly great. Really.” Luo Feng said, then turned and left.
