Demon Killer Clan Avatar

On Earth's Asian continent, in Yangzhou City, Huaxia Nation.

In the early morning, Luo Feng, standing on his Dark Cloud Shuttle, transformed into a golden streak of light and instantly vanished into the eastern sky.

Above the East Sea.

Luo Feng stood on the Dark Cloud Shuttle, gazing eastward at the fiery red Sun slowly rising from the horizon.

“This Fifth-tier psychic weapon is indeed different from a Third-tier one.” Luo Feng looked down at the Dark Cloud Shuttle beneath his feet. He had purchased it at the previous Ganwu Auction. The Ganwu Auction was held every three years, with the first one at the end of 2065 Huaxia time, where he had spent a considerable sum.

Another one was held at the end of 2068.

At that time, he was in the midst of the Reincarnation Battle! So he specifically requested a ten-day break to attend the auction.

The Reincarnation Battle was adjustable.

Because with over nine thousand participants, special circumstances could arise over nearly three years, the schedule was quite flexible. He was supposed to fight 100 battles during those ten days, but after negotiating and coordinating with his opponents, they all agreed... only then did the organizers approve his request, allowing him to participate in that auction.

“A single Dark Cloud Shuttle and two units of Lanke Fruit cost me one Mixed Yuan Unit,” Luo Feng mused. “Fortunately, I had the money my younger brother earned from investments.”

At the 2065 auction, after purchasing Demon Killer Clan skin, Yan Shen Blade, and Lanke Fruit, his remaining funds were only several hundred billion cosmic coins, less than one Mixed Yuan Unit.

He hadn't earned any money in these three years.

Fortunately, by the end of the last auction, his younger brother had over two trillion cosmic coins. After three years of operation, despite some setbacks, it had still grown to six Mixed Yuan Units! Earning nearly 200% profit in three years, especially with larger capital, is usually harder.

Even many large organizations, including investment departments of some branches under Universe First Bank and Cosmic River Bank, had invited his younger brother, Luo Hua.

“Earning it myself, being completely in charge, that’s the best. Going to those departments, having to listen to superiors’ instructions, how troublesome. I’m not going!” This was Luo Hua’s explanation to him.

Standing on the Dark Cloud Shuttle, above the East Sea.

“Still not enough money,” Luo Feng mused. “The Golden Horned Beast, Moyun Teng, and even the Demon Killer Clan Avatar. All will require vast sums of money to cultivate. And my main body also needs to spend money.” Theoretically, the Golden Horned Beast should be considered Luo Feng’s main body, but subconsciously, Luo Feng still regarded his Earthling body as his true self.

The Golden Horned Beast was currently at the Universe-level. Simply evolving by devouring metal wasn't expensive. However, cultivating the 'Original Body Heaven and Earth' technique was an absolute money pit.

The Moyun Teng became harder to evolve the higher it went. Currently, the Lanke Fruit was very effective, but as the Moyun Teng grew stronger, the financial investment would also become a bottomless pit. Back then, Huyan Bo had paid a truly terrifying price to make his Moyun Teng reach Immortality.

Little was currently known about the Demon Killer Clan Avatar.

Luo Feng’s Earthling main body had already poured enormous funds into things like the Yan Shen Blade, Dark Cloud Shuttle, and nutrient cabins. And this was only at the Star-level... As his horizons broadened in the future, the expenses would likely be even more astonishing. Luo Feng had seen some cosmic peerless treasures at auctions, each costing thousands of Mixed Yuan Units, treasures that Babata was now too lazy to even mention to Luo Feng.

“Golden Horned Beast, Universe-level Seventh-tier! Moyun Teng, Universe-level Sixth-tier. My main body... Star-level Ninth-tier.” Luo Feng thought to himself. “From now on, my main body will cease cultivation.”

The Golden Horned Beast required 15 years to go from Universe-level First-tier to Third-tier, and 20 years for each tier from Fourth to Sixth, totaling 60 years. For Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth-tier, each required 120 years. As for advancing from Universe-level Ninth-tier to Domain Lord, it would take 500 years! The entire Universe-level process, theoretically, would last nearly a millennium.

From entering Universe-level Sixth-tier in 2055 to October 2059, nearly four years had passed.

By relying on the best metal combinations to supply its internal space for absorption, the efficiency reached 56 times, equivalent to 224 years! Luo Feng needed 240 years to advance to Seventh and Eighth-tier. So... he was currently at Universe-level Seventh-tier, just a little short of reaching Universe-level Eighth-tier.

As for the Moyun Teng, it was already Universe-level Second-tier in the World Within a World. At that time, the Moyun Teng also contained some undigested ‘Life Fruit’ energy, and after consuming over a hundred Lanke Fruits... it had long since grown to Universe-level Sixth-tier. It was just that the difficulty from Sixth-tier to Seventh-tier suddenly became very high.

“It’s almost ready to be born,” Luo Feng frowned slightly.

Boom!

A black triangular spaceship suddenly appeared in the sky. Luo Feng, standing on his Dark Cloud Shuttle, swiftly entered the ship. Then, the spaceship accelerated, soaring into the sky, piercing through the atmosphere to leave Earth and head towards Mars.

In a massive crater on the surface of Mars in the Solar System, the spaceship landed.

Inside the spaceship's lounge.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged in meditation, his consciousness fully entering his inner world.

Within his inner world, on the vast golden continent enveloped by golden mist.

The Golden Horned Beast, coiling across the land for over ten li, raised its head, its dark golden eyes fixed on the oval golden egg in the sky.

“Almost ready,” a hint of anticipation flickered in the Golden Horned Beast’s cold eyes.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The already incredibly thin oval golden egg suddenly cracked open, then fell directly from mid-air, revealing an extraordinarily strange black crystal. This crystal was meticulously cut into 10,081 facets, and each facet bore incredibly complex golden secret patterns. These golden secret patterns were fully integrated into the entire crystal core, which was precisely the core of a Demon Killer Clan member—the Life Crystal Core!

“Appear!” A low shout echoed out of thin air across this metallic continent.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~

Streaks of black airflow rapidly surged from the Life Crystal Core, then quickly solidified into form. A naked, yellow-skinned, black-haired man appeared—it was a naked Luo Feng, identical to Luo Feng himself!

Mars, on its sand-swept surface.

Luo Feng in deep red combat attire, Luo Feng in black attire, and the Golden Horned Beast, still as massive as a mountain range, were all on the surface.

“Interesting, very interesting.”

The two Luo Fengs and the Golden Horned Beast looked at each other.

As for the true core of life—the Original Core—it could instantly appear within the main body, within the Golden Horned Beast, or within the Demon Killer Clan Avatar.

“Withdraw!” The Golden Horned Beast vanished, leaving only the two Luo Fengs.

“Withdraw!” The Luo Feng in deep red combat attire vanished.

“Withdraw!” The black-clad Luo Feng also vanished.

All three entered the inner world, leaving only a transparent crystal sphere outside. The sphere’s surface bore incredibly complex golden secret patterns, faintly emitting golden light.

Whoosh!

The black-clad Luo Feng appeared.

“It’s very unsafe for the Life Crystal Core to be outside alone,” the black-clad Luo Feng mused. “As for this Demon Killer Clan Avatar... Transform!”

The black-clad Luo Feng shifted like a current of air, rapidly transforming into the tall savage 'Rongjun,' then changing again into a Golden Horned Beast only a dozen meters long. He then became a thick willow tree, and finally reverted to the black-clad Luo Feng!

“Energy lifeforms are indeed unique,” Luo Feng smiled.

The Demon Killer Clan was an energy lifeform, without a fixed appearance, capable of arbitrary transformation. Of course, if it wanted to transform into a giant ten thousand zhang tall, with a body defense comparable to Universe-level Second-tier, the energy consumption would be very high. So, generally, transformations were kept to a not-too-large size.

“The Demon Killer Clan, known as the strongest assassination race. So this is why!” Luo Feng sensed the difference between the Demon Killer Clan Avatar and his other bodies.

“A darling of space, it’s true after all.”

Upon acquiring his third body, the ‘Demon Killer Clan Avatar,’ Luo Feng naturally learned of the Demon Killer Clan’s innate secret technique.

Innate Secret Technique—Replication!

In terms of life form, the Demon Killer Clan was completely different from humans and Golden Horned Beasts. Humans and Golden Horned Beasts were at least flesh-and-blood lifeforms. But the Demon Killer Clan, as an ‘energy lifeform,’ didn’t even possess a soul! To be precise… that ‘Life Crystal’ was its soul, and also its energy source!

Therefore.

The Demon Killer Clan was not afraid of ‘mental force attacks,’ nor could it unleash psychic attacks, let alone manipulate objects. Thus, the Demon Killer Clan… all followed the warrior path!

And the ‘Innate Secret Technique—Replication’ allowed ‘Demon Killer Clan members’ to replicate a target’s ‘life aura, soul aura,’ etc. They could freely transform, and once they replicated the opponent’s soul aura through this innate secret technique, it would be an immortal existence… Unless one used psychic energy to probe inside its body, otherwise, from appearance and sensed aura, the Demon Killer Clan’s disguise could not be detected.

This was no longer mere disguise.

It was replication!

Innate Secret Technique—Replication!

You couldn’t imagine that your beloved grandson might actually have become a Demon Killer Clan assassin.

This seemingly simple innate secret technique, however, made the Demon Killer Clan… the most terrifying assassination race in the entire universe! They could transform into any life form, disguise any life aura or soul aura. Of course, if the opponent was suspicious from the start and probed its body with psychic energy… it would naturally be exposed.

“A darling of space.”

“How peculiar,” Luo Feng felt that his Demon Killer Clan Avatar could faintly sense the subtle fluctuations emanating from the surrounding space.

But his Earthling body and the Golden Horned Beast couldn’t sense it at all.

“Absolute Space!”

Luo Feng abruptly unleashed his movement technique. Simultaneously, the black crystal core with 10,081 facets within him subtly rotated, and the complex golden secret patterns on its surface faintly fluctuated, seemingly responding to the ripples of cosmic space.

Whoosh!

On the desert surface of Mars, two Luo Fengs instantly appeared, then gradually… three Luo Fengs, four Luo Fengs, five Luo Fengs!

Whoosh!

Luo Feng stopped.

“It’s too peculiar, too peculiar. The Demon Killer Clan Avatar’s flight and evasion are too effortless, simply… simply unbelievable.” Luo Feng’s face was filled with shock. “I’ve clearly comprehended very little of ‘Absolute Space.’ In these three years, I’ve only just touched the threshold of the Space Origin Law. I can’t even be considered to have truly entered it.”

“Yet, despite my limited comprehension, when I use the Demon Killer Clan Avatar to execute it, the speed is faster, more elusive, and I can even feel the fluctuations of space,” Luo Feng exclaimed in wonder.

“Switch.”

The Demon Killer Clan Avatar vanished, and Luo Feng in deep red combat attire appeared.

“Hmm?”

In his Earthling body, Luo Feng looked around, and the wondrous sensation from before was completely gone. Everything became ordinary. Mars was still Mars, the universe was still the universe, without that beautiful feeling of sensing cosmic space fluctuations he had experienced earlier.

Boom!

Luo Feng unleashed his movement technique, which was elusive and astonishingly fast. But that was all; it couldn't distort space to create illusions.

“It feels like the Demon Killer Clan Avatar in space is like a fish in water,” Luo Feng mused.

Humans swimming in water can never match their running speed on land.

And fish flopping on land can never match their speed in water.

It’s the same principle!

The Demon Killer Clan Avatar was naturally a darling of the Space Origin. In cosmic space, they were like fish in water. Even with the same low level of comprehension, the Demon Killer Clan Avatar’s movement technique would be several tiers higher.

“Incredible, incredible,” Luo Feng couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Of course,” Babata chimed in. “They are known as the strongest assassination race! There are billions of races with various life forms—energy lifeforms, flesh-and-blood lifeforms, mechanical lifeforms, metallic lifeforms, plant lifeforms, and so on. To be called the strongest assassination race among countless races? Is that a joke?” Babata continued, “The Innate Secret Technique—Replication, while seemingly just one innate secret technique. In reality, the most incredible thing about this Demon Killer Clan Avatar is… its ability to sense space fluctuations.”

“Their innate compatibility with the Space Origin!”

“Allows them to unleash space-type secret techniques with greatly increased power.”

“At the same time, comprehending Space Laws is much easier for them than for humans.”

“Therefore, every single Demon Killer Clan member has crossed the threshold of Space Laws… Their movement techniques are elusive, and their transformations are myriad. They can become anyone, any form. Because their ‘disguise reaches perfection,’ their ‘attacks are powerful,’ and they ‘can swiftly escape if an attack fails.’ The most crucial point is that it’s not just one member; all members are strong. That’s why they are called the strongest assassination race,” Babata said.

Luo Feng took a deep breath.

No wonder… incomplete Demon Killer Clan skin sold for such a high price.

Under normal transformation, the Demon Killer Clan’s surface had no secret patterns. When killed… most died from their crystal core shattering, their bodies dissipating, leaving only an incomplete crystal core, and no skin would appear. Only under one circumstance could the profound secret patterns of the Space Origin within the ‘Life Crystal Core’ appear on the skin!

Those were indeed secret patterns truly containing the Space Origin Law, which was why the skin was incredibly expensive.

“But for the Genius Battle, I can only use the body uniformly provided by the Virtual Universe to fight. I can’t use the Demon Killer Clan Avatar,” Luo Feng mused.

“It’s October now, and there’s less than a year until the Peak Genius Decisive Battle of the 1008 Cosmic Nations. What you can do now is use your Demon Killer Clan Avatar to simulate the ‘Golden Horned Beast’ form, and then research the ‘Absolute Space’ secret technique,” Babata said. “The cultivation process for the ‘Absolute Space’ secret technique is only suitable for the Golden Horned Beast form.”

Of course, once comprehension of space is achieved through cultivation, all avatars can use it. After all, they share the same consciousness.

“Understood,” Luo Feng nodded.

“Less than a year,” Luo Feng took a deep breath. “By the way, Babata. I should be able to use my Demon Killer Clan Avatar… to retrieve the bank accounts my teacher left for me, right?”

The Yunmo Star Master had divided his inheritance into three accounts.

They could only be accessed when his disciple reached the Star-level, Universe-level, and Domain Lord stages, respectively.
