Chapter 371

Entering the Cosmic Tier

Solar System, Mars.This was an incredibly dry and desolate planet, yet a pure black, saucer-shaped spaceship was docked in a crater hundreds of meters in diameter.This spaceship was one of Luo Feng's backup vessels, and it now served as his temporary cultivation base on Mars.…In the massive quiet chamber of the spaceship, a dark cyan rectangular 'nutrient cabin' lay horizontally. The entire nutrient cabin was 21.6 meters long and 8.3 meters wide, predominantly dark cyan. Its metallic surface was adorned with many intricate patterns, along with a few simple buttons.An E-grade nutrient cabin, considered the pinnacle among the vast human race in the cosmos.Its purchase price alone reached 860 billion cosmic dollars, equivalent to three or four cheap, desolate star systems. Its surface's dark cyan metal was a Grade F8 metal comparable to 'Crimson-Mixed Copper Mother'—'Azure-Gleam Stone Mother'—and was extremely expensive.Of course, the weapon Luo Feng used—a fragment of Crimson-Mixed Copper Mother—though small, was astonishingly expensive due to its craftsmanship!Its true value lay in its 'blade-like edge'.Making such an incredibly hard metal like Crimson-Mixed Copper Mother incredibly sharp was an extremely difficult feat! The higher the grade of metal, the harder it was to process and craft. 'Crimson-Mixed Copper Mother' was a terrifying metal that even an Immortal being could only dent slightly with a punch.Back then, the Yunmo Star Master paid a hefty price to forge the triangular, ring-shaped blade edges on the Yunmo Star Spaceship.This made the Yunmo Star Spaceship incredibly formidable; once accelerated, it could slice through planets and meteorites as easily as cutting vegetables.…Because of its Azure-Gleam Stone Mother casing, even an Immortal being would need to expend great effort to damage the nutrient cabin.Inside the cabin.Completely naked, a young black-haired man with a perfect physique lay in the dark gray nutrient fluid. Streams of vibrant energy rapidly permeated deep into his body through every pore of his skin. This strange, life-force-rich power, upon penetrating his cellular genetic material, immediately began to drive the improvement and evolution of his genetic makeup.One ton of nutrient fluid could purchase hundreds of Cosmic-tier servants, or tens of thousands of life planets.His hair continuously grew longer, his skin became more lustrous, his bones denser, his muscle fiber density higher, and his explosive power stronger…“Close,” Luo Feng commanded the nutrient cabin's AI with his consciousness.“Hiss, hiss~~”The nutrient fluid rapidly drained, and the cabin quickly became empty and incredibly dry. Streams of high-pressure hot air seemed to wipe Luo Feng's body like a towel. Afterward, clean water automatically filled the cabin, rinsing Luo Feng's body, before finally drying and cleansing it again.Luo Feng stood up and leaped out of the three-meter-tall nutrient cabin. Simultaneously, a dark red combat robe automatically formed on his body, and combat boots appeared on his feet.Snap!The combat boots landed on the spaceship's alloy floor.“This nutrient cabin truly lives up to its E-grade status; its evolutionary effects are astonishing,” Luo Feng said, his eyes shining as he looked at the dark cyan giant coffin before him.“No matter how good the evolution, your body still needs a balance of work and rest. After lying in the nutrient cabin for nearly half a month, you need at least another half-month of rest before you can enter it again. Oh, right... Luo Feng, how is your practice of the 'Myriad Sword Soul Seal' coming along?” A casual voice echoed through the spaceship. It was the intelligent lifeform, Babata.“I can now unleash 226 Sword Soul Seals at once,” Luo Feng replied.Luo Feng naturally wouldn't slack off on the 'Myriad Sword Soul Seal' secret technique.After all, only by mastering the Myriad Sword Soul Seal could he unleash the 'Enslavement Soul Seal.' Only then would he have achieved a minor success in the path of 'Soul Seals'.“Too slow. You're still a long way from unleashing ten thousand Sword Soul Seals, let alone achieving the unity of ten thousand swords,” Babata exclaimed.“I understand,” Luo Feng smiled.After half a month of continuous evolution and arduous mental cultivation, Luo Feng was quite tired. He immediately exited the spaceship's outer hatch, flew out of the crater, and arrived on the surface of Mars.…Endless red, cold gravel stretched as far as the eye could see, with towering dust storms faintly visible in the distance. Luo Feng, enveloped in his Moyun Battle Armor, gazed at the land.Suddenly, an incredibly massive shadow rapidly approached from within the towering dust storm in the distance. It was a colossal monster, like a mountain range, its body covered in black scales. Only the two ferocious, proudly skyward-pointing horns were covered in golden secret patterns, and its neck and back were also adorned with golden secret patterns.“Woo—” The Golden Horned Beast in the distance let out a sky-shattering roar, its cold eyes fixed on the human Luo Feng.Luo Feng also looked at the Golden Horned Beast in the distance.“It's time to break through to the Cosmic Tier,” Luo Feng muttered, his brow slightly furrowed.The Golden Horned Beast body and the Earthling body could appear simultaneously in the outside world, or individually, or neither could appear at all!When neither body was in the outside world, the core would be outside.Regardless—the core would definitely be in the outside world, unable to enter the 'inner world.' As for the physical bodies, whether it was the Golden Horned Beast's body or the Earthling's body, even if severely damaged, they could be repaired! Because for Luo Feng, his life's core was actually the core containing his soul!Of course... the core was a 'fatal weakness,' and Luo Feng wouldn't dare leave it exposed outside; that would be pure suicide.During previous battles, the reason the Earthling body hid in the inner world when the Golden Horned Beast appeared was that Luo Feng didn't want anyone to discover the connection between his Earthling body and the Golden Horned Beast. As for now, since the entire Solar System was equipped with a defense system, he wasn't worried about anyone discovering him and the Golden Horned Beast on Mars.“Cosmic Tier!”“It's time to break through,” Luo Feng shook his head. With a wave of his hand, a pile of various precious metals appeared on the ground. Luo Feng then transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the distant spaceship.The Golden Horned Beast, massive as a mountain range, coiled on the desert ground, extending a clawed hoof to cover the pile of metals.Space warped, and the pile of metals rapidly shrunk, then vanished into the Golden Horned Beast's palm.…Mars was as quiet as ever. Only two lives were added: one human hiding in the spaceship, and one Starry Sky Behemoth beneath the desert.Days passed. Though anxious, Luo Feng could only wait…On December 26th, 2063, Huaxia time, deep beneath a certain area of the Martian desert, the Golden Horned Beast was coiled.“Awoo—” A deep, excited roar echoed through the sky.Boom! A figure swiftly flew out of the spaceship, hovering in mid-air, gazing at the Golden Horned Beast's coiled lair in the distance, a look of joy on his face: “The inner world has finally broken through!”…Inside the Golden Horned Beast's inner world. A continent shrouded in golden mist, perfectly square, 90 kilometers in both length and width.But at this moment, the entire world suddenly trembled. A large amount of metallic mist, originally surrounding the continent, surged wildly towards it, causing the metallic continent to frantically devour the mist and begin expanding its boundaries.Both length and width continuously expanded, and its height also grew! The continent became even thicker.The rapid shrinking of the golden mist was exchanged for the continuous expansion of this golden continent.A breathtaking expansion! In just a few hours, the continent expanded directly from 90 kilometers in length and width to 1,000 kilometers in length and width! Its area increased a hundredfold!The Golden Horned Beast's core was its original core! The core of the original core was the inner world! Devouring large amounts of metal was also to allow this inner world to expand and become more perfect. Only when the inner world expanded could the Golden Horned Beast break through!And now—from 90 kilometers in length and width, it broke through to 1,000 kilometers in length and width in an extremely short time! The inner world had completed a fundamental leap.“Rumble~~” Deep within the Martian desert, without the limitations of the inner world, the Golden Horned Beast, which had been suppressed at the peak of Ninth-tier Star-level, finally underwent a fundamental transformation.With an incredibly excited howl, the Golden Horned Beast's massive body slowly began to grow larger, its bones becoming thicker, its scales harder, and even a third horn gradually began to emerge on its forehead.Like armor, the golden secret patterns covering most of its body also emitted a mysterious light, continuously permeating the Golden Horned Beast's body.…Within the original core. Inside a colossal tower that almost enveloped the entire void, nine incredibly scorching fireballs orbited each other in strange trajectories, forming a peculiar celestial structure.This was the substantial composition of Luo Feng's soul!When freed from the suppression of the inner world, pure cosmic energy was instantly absorbed frantically. The nine fireballs, which had already reached their limit, began to vibrate and rapidly expand in volume with the absorption.“Rumble~~~” Almost instantly, the cosmic energy above Mars was frantically devoured, forming a terrifying energy vortex. With such astonishing energy, the nine miniature stars rapidly expanded in volume, growing tenfold in just a moment. All nine fireballs were trembling, and in that instant, the largest miniature star among them expanded to its limit!“Bang!” The largest miniature star suddenly exploded!Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The other eight miniature stars exploded one after another. Exceeding their limits, they all detonated simultaneously, transforming into countless stellar fragments, even forming vast dust nebulae. After a long while, everything returned to calm.Within the original core. After the great explosion, a vast amount of nebulae, star clusters, dust, and countless tiny planets formed a massive spiral galaxy. In the innermost part of this colossal spiral galaxy, miniature stars were most abundant, numbering in the tens of millions. The entire spiral galaxy also had eight spiral arms.However, at the core of the densest spiral galaxy, there was an extremely small dark region. That was the first 'black hole' of the entire spiral galaxy. This tiny black hole was slowly devouring the surrounding stars, dust, and other matter, while simultaneously generating wisps of pure power in an untouchable place.“Hiss, hiss~~” Mental power, like a thin mist, seemingly generated from nothing, appeared around the massive vortex, enveloping the entire galaxy in a halo.The strange, misty power forming this halo was the reliance of a Cosmic-tier Mental Cultivator—mental power! Incredibly pure mental power!…The Golden Horned Beast officially entered the Cosmic Tier!
