Years Flow Like Water

Luo Feng landed on the rooftop of his cultivation residence. “Chaos True Spirit…” Luo Feng frowned, clearly sensing the core within his body. Within the core, the 'Swirling Galaxy' that had evolved from the materialization of Luo Feng's soul was slowly rotating. This brilliant, dreamlike Swirling Galaxy had eight spiral arms. When he first reached Universe Level First Tier, there was a small dark region—a tiny black hole—at the core of this Swirling Galaxy. Now! The Golden Horned Beast was already at Universe Level Ninth Tier, and its fundamental soul had naturally reached Universe Level Ninth Tier. The materialized 'Swirling Galaxy' core of a Universe Level Ninth Tier soul now contained a massive black hole, and within its eight spiral arms, there were also tiny black holes, all slowly devouring the surrounding stellar dust. A central black hole, eight miniature black holes. The formation of these nine black holes represented 'Universe Level Ninth Tier.' To advance from Universe Level Ninth Tier to Domain Lord, these nine black holes must merge and devour the entire galaxy, undergoing a fundamental transformation. From Universe Level to Domain Lord! This stage is incredibly difficult! “Hiss, hiss~~” The emerald green light points, falling into the Swirling Galaxy, were rapidly pulled in, directly swallowed by the central black hole of the galaxy. In the untouchable outer regions of the 'Swirling Galaxy,' wisps of mist appeared, enveloping the entire Swirling Galaxy, which also seemed to undergo a subtle change. … “There’s a change.” Luo Feng closed his eyes, his mind as still as water, sensing the fluctuations of the origin laws. Regarding sensing fluctuations. The Golden Horned Beast sensed the 'origin law fluctuations of metal' more clearly. The Demon Killer Clan clone also sensed the 'origin law fluctuations of space' very clearly. However, the Earthling original body's perception of law fluctuations was very blurry, as if separated by layers of mist. But now! “Progress, they've all progressed.” Luo Feng showed a look of pleasant surprise. On the vast metallic continent within his internal space. The Golden Horned Beast, resembling a black mountain range, also raised its head and let out an excited roar. The Black-Clad Luo Feng, who had manifested nearly a thousand illusory bodies nearby, also stopped, exclaiming excitedly: “They’ve all progressed!” Indeed! All three bodies sensed the origin law fluctuations a little more clearly. The Golden Horned Beast sensed the 'origin law of metal' more clearly, primarily because of the golden secret patterns resembling armor on its horn, neck, body, wings, tail, and hooves. These secret patterns subtly communicated with the origin law of metal in the universe, making the Golden Horned Beast particularly adept at the 'origin law of metal.' Similarly. The Demon Killer Clan clone, on the other hand, relied on the golden secret patterns on the 10,081-faceted life crystal core within its body to generate fluctuations, communicating with the origin of cosmic space, and even resonating with spatial fluctuations. Thus, it was not only skilled at comprehending spatial laws but also possessed immense power when executing them. The three bodies share a single soul core! Now that the soul core had transformed, all three naturally progressed together! With the transformation of the 'soul core' within the core, the soul in the Earthling original body's sea of consciousness and the 'life crystal core' at the heart of the Demon Killer Clan clone both underwent a slight transformation. The 'core soul' was shared by all three, and it was the core of the three bodies. Once it progressed, all three bodies progressed. If the core remained intact, any one of the three bodies, if destroyed, could regenerate. Even if all three bodies were destroyed, as long as the core was unharmed, it would continuously supply energy to form three clones. This was the heaven-defying aspect of innate clones, but it had both advantages and disadvantages! However, if the core was destroyed, all three clones, even if separated by billions of miles, would perish simultaneously! This was Luo Feng's 'Achilles' heel.' “What a treasure, to be able to transform the soul. It truly lives up to its reputation as the third treasure of Chaos City.” Luo Feng's eyes gleamed. “From Apprentice Level to Sector Lord Level, the soul only continuously strengthens, but fundamentally, it doesn't transform. Only from Sector Lord Level to Undying Level does a fundamental transformation occur.” “Now, with this Chaos True Spirit, I can actually begin this transformation ahead of schedule.” “Although the extent of the transformation isn't massive, with enough of it, the benefits are still immense.” Luo Feng was incredibly excited. In terms of combat power, his Earthling original body was the weakest; the Golden Horned Beast and the Demon Killer Clan clone were his true trump cards… Clearly, the soul's transformation was beneficial to those two clones. “Come on!” “Chaos Beasts!” Flames burned in Luo Feng's eyes. Such treasures, if he didn't acquire more, he would truly be shortchanging himself. … Luo Feng once again walked out of Chaos City and into the wilderness shrouded in chaotic energy. “This place is enveloped in chaotic energy, and the signals emitted by detectors are completely affected. Otherwise, Babata could detect them,” Luo Feng mused. If there were instruments to detect the surroundings… not so many geniuses would have died. “Is this inability to detect due to the primal universe, or is it intentionally done by the administrators of Chaos City?” Luo Feng was puzzled but didn't dwell on it. Regardless, to kill Chaos Beasts, he could only rely on himself. … Five minutes later, Luo Feng, half-crouched in the grass, cautiously watched a Chaos Beast appearing in the distance. It was an extra-large Chaos Beast, roughly thirty meters long, moving slowly like a hill. Its scalp was shiny like an alloy, and it had two curved, outward-pointing horns on its head. Its eyes were almost entirely white, with only tiny, pea-sized pupils in the very center. The coldness emanating from its pupils, its four thick hooves slowly treading the ground, and its ears perked up, clearly indicated it was constantly vigilant. “Judging by its aura, it shouldn't be stronger than the first ape-like Chaos Beast I encountered,” Luo Feng muttered, crouching in the grass, his eyes cold. “Sky Sword Style!” The dark golden long staff on his back instantly shot out 81 strands of golden light. Every 9 strands quickly converged to form a golden sword, over a foot long. Nine beams of golden sword light rapidly ascended, accompanied by rolling golden energy waves, directly forming a Sword Domain. Boom! The golden sword rainbow shot towards the head of the massive Chaos Beast! “Awoo roar~~” The Chaos Beast suddenly turned its head, letting out an angry roar. It abruptly lowered its head, preparing to use its sharpest horns to block the incoming golden sword rainbow. “Hiss!” The golden sword, imbued with the boundless power of the Sword Domain, curved slightly, grazed the horn, and directly pierced the Chaos Beast's head. The head, cast like an alloy, was incredibly hard. With a “hissing” sound, the golden sword barely managed to penetrate its interior, then, with a 'thwip,' it shot out from the Chaos Beast's eye socket. Rumble~~ The Chaos Beast collapsed with a crash. As an emerald green Chaos True Spirit floated out, its entire body rapidly decayed into a mass of chaotic energy. “Whoosh.” Luo Feng, stepping on the Dark Cloud Shuttle, swept up the Chaos True Spirit with his mental energy, then transformed into a streak of light and vanished. A few seconds later. Rumble, rumble~~~ Dozens of massive Chaos Beasts, each like a thunderclap, made the ground tremble as they stampeded to this spot. However, in just a few seconds, Luo Feng was already hundreds of kilometers away. Hundreds of kilometers away. Hiding behind scattered rocks, feeling the comfort in his soul after absorbing the Chaos True Spirit, Luo Feng cracked a smile: “Excellent, this is how Chaos Beasts should be hunted. At most two attacks, then immediately retreat, whether successful or not. And battling Chaos Beasts also allows me to test some of my insights.” … It began! His career of hunting Chaos Beasts had finally begun. As he hunted, Luo Feng discovered that although the stone tablet stated that all Chaos Beasts in the inner region were Universe Level, over sixty percent were actually at Universe Level First Tier, with the rest ranging from Universe Level Second Tier to Ninth Tier. Each was naturally adept at certain origin laws. Their only weakness was… low intelligence! Just like unmutated animals on Earth, even slightly simple traps could trick these Chaos Beasts. … During the hunt, he occasionally encountered Chaos Beasts at Universe Level Ninth Tier. Fortunately, Moyun Teng was also Universe Level Ninth Tier (due to long-term consumption of Lan Ke fruits), otherwise, it would have been much more dangerous. … Three months after the Chaos Beast hunt began. “Two golden swords merging into one, so this is how it works.” Luo Feng, having deployed his Sword Domain, finally succeeded in connecting two golden swords, one in front of the other, with golden threads. This created a hazy golden greatsword around the two golden swords, and with the assistance of the entire Sword Domain, its power was terrifyingly strong. It instantly annihilated a Chaos Beast. “Connection!” “A bond! That feeling of being one…” Luo Feng remembered that profound and mysterious sensation, indescribable. Of course, Luo Feng understood perfectly… the reason it was indescribable was that he hadn't deciphered any of the essence of the cosmic spatial laws. The first sword technique from the 108 characters of 'Floating Blood' he was studying, he had only just scratched the surface of. Though not deciphered, he could at least use it. “Now that I can merge two swords, with the auxiliary boost of the 'Sword Domain,' these two golden swords should be able to contend with the three-sword merge of the opponent on the first level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge, right?” Although the opponent merged three swords, they didn't deploy a Sword Domain. “No rush!” “Perhaps my strength isn't enough, which is why the opponent didn't deploy a Sword Domain.” Luo Feng wasn't in a hurry at all. His 30 years in Chaos City were for building his foundation; there was no need to be impatient. It was best to be down-to-earth. … Eight months later. “Three swords merge!” Luo Feng, constantly experimenting on Chaos Beasts, became increasingly thorough in how to apply his insights into cosmic laws to the Yan Shen Weapon. He was finally able to follow that profound and mysterious sensation, connecting and combining three golden swords to form an astonishingly powerful attack. … Virtual Universe, Sky-Reaching Bridge plane. On the island, the guardian Bafen, clad in a black star-patterned robe, looked in surprise at the white-robed, blood-sword youth before him. “Challenging the third level?” Bafen looked at the young man in surprise. When that batch of 1000 geniuses had just arrived at Chaos City, this 'Bolan' had once cleared two levels in one go. This was extremely rare in the history of Chaos City. He hadn't expected Bolan to return in less than a year. “Mm.” Bolan nodded slightly. “Go on, I wish you success.” The guardian Bafen smiled. Whoosh! The white-robed youth Bolan flew directly towards a certain port at the edge of the island. From that port extended a Sky-Reaching Bridge that stretched endlessly out of sight. The stone tablet before the Sky-Reaching Bridge bore two characters—'Cosmos'! 52 Chaos Tablets corresponded to 52 Sky-Reaching Bridges. Among them, the 'Giant Axe Sky-Reaching Bridge' had 32 levels, making it the highest. The 'Cosmos Sky-Reaching Bridge' had 30 levels, ranking second. As for the 'Jiuyu Sky-Reaching Bridge,' it had 27 levels, also considered very high, enough to rank in the top five. The shortest of the 52 Sky-Reaching Bridges had 21 levels. In truth, the number of levels didn't hold much significance, because anyone who could pass 21 levels could become a high and mighty Universe Nation Lord! Could even one genius from Luo Feng's batch become a Universe Nation Lord? “Whoosh!” Bolan rushed into the Sky-Reaching Bridge.
