Chapter 524

Transformation

The third Xueluo Crystal lay on the scale armor of its right hoof's palm. As the black scale armor was sliced open by the sharp claw blade, blood flowed over the Xueluo Crystal, and the fusion began once more.

The Golden Horned Beast's massive head looked down at its right hoof, watching with anticipation. The pain caused by the immense change in its right hoof... with the Golden Horned Beast's physiological characteristics, it could completely control the range of pain. In just a moment, the third Xueluo Crystal also completely disappeared, fused into the right hoof.

“Activate!”

The Golden Horned Beast activated the mysterious power latent within its right hoof. Immediately, blood-red mystical patterns appeared on the hoof's scale armor.

When the first one was fused, the blood-red mystical patterns were simple and sparse.

When the second one was fused, they were more complex, and their spread doubled.

Now, with three fused, the blood-red mystical patterns on the scale armor were much more numerous, and these patterns seemed to form a complete, perfect whole.

“Boom!”

The right hoof violently swung through the air, drawing upon the power of the universe's Metal Origin Law. With one claw strike, invisible airwaves vibrated, and a terrifying shockwave directly blasted the distant mountain range apart, sending large metal chunks flying.

“Compared to before fusion, the perception has doubled! The compatibility with the universe's origin has also doubled.” The Golden Horned Beast couldn't help but roar upwards.

The Demon Killer Clan clone, despite its low comprehension, could unleash great power.

The Golden Horned Beast clone didn't possess this ability. The Golden Horned Beast's strong attack power came from its 'innate secret technique,' 'naturally powerful body,' and the 'Original Body Heaven and Earth secret technique.' While it might have some advantage in law comprehension, it couldn't unleash law power far exceeding its comprehension during battle.

But now!

The comprehension of the Metal Origin and various other origins has doubled, and even the power during battle can double!

“Although it can't compare to the Demon Killer Clan clone's dozens of times increase, it's still formidable enough.”

“Comprehension doubled, power doubled.” Luo Feng was excited.

Fusing three makes one a Xueluo Warrior.

Xueluo Warriors have double the comprehension of ordinary people and double the combat power.

“Continue fusing the fourth one.”

...The function of Xueluo Crystals is truly heaven-defying. Comprehension increases, and power increases! Although each Xueluo Crystal doesn't add much, the accumulation is still astonishing. One must know that some special talent races in the universe, like the 'Demon Killer Clan clone,' possess their unique racial abilities.

The Golden Horned Beast follows the brute force path!

The Demon Killer Clan clone specializes in spatial assassination!

And Xueluo Crystals... they can enhance the comprehension of various origin laws, making one feel 'like a fish in water.'

...“I really don't know how these Xueluo Crystals are produced.”

The Golden Horned Beast continued to fuse the fourth Xueluo Crystal, still into its right hoof. This time, when the Golden Horned Beast activated the mysterious power... more blood-red mystical patterns appeared on the right hoof, but the comprehension increased only slightly, and the power also increased slightly.

The improvement wasn't obvious, far less significant than when fusing the first three!

“Continue fusing the fifth one!”

After fusing the fifth one, once the mysterious power was activated, the blood-red mystical patterns on the right hoof became even more complex, and both the compatibility with the universe's origin and the power unleashed improved.

Sixth one!

Seventh one!

Eighth one!

...

“Fortunately, I have enough Xueluo Crystals. The Divine Temple envoy supplied me with ten Xueluo Crystals, otherwise the Golden Horned Beast wouldn't have been able to fuse ten Xueluo Crystals.” Black-Clothed Luo Feng stood by, watching the incredibly massive Golden Horned Beast begin to fuse the tenth Xueluo Crystal.

Fusing ten Xueluo Crystals, if it were a human, they would be a 'Black Warrior.'

Black Warriors are a legend on Xueluo Continent, representing the pinnacle of human Xueluo Crystal fusion.

“I wonder what will happen when the Golden Horned Beast fuses ten Xueluo Crystals.”

“Let's begin!”

Swoosh!

The Golden Horned Beast's sharp claw blade sliced across the scale armor of its right hoof's palm. The scale armor was cut open, and the tenth beautiful Xueluo Crystal lay on its palm. Instantly, it was manipulated by telekinesis to fall onto the wound. The moment blood and Xueluo Crystal touched, the fusion began, generating an even more frantic killing intent.

“The killing intent when fusing ten is quite ordinary; it doesn't affect me. It's far from comparable to the killing intent of that malevolent vortex.”

“The changes to muscles and bones, although it's very painful now, are still within the tolerable range—AH!!!”

The Golden Horned Beast let out an incredibly painful cry.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Roars shook the heavens.

“Damn it!” Black-Clothed Luo Feng was so pained he directly knelt on one knee, while Luo Feng, the Earth human original body in the giant pit, also clenched his fists and slammed them onto the ground, sweat constantly rolling down his forehead from the pain, gritting his teeth tightly.

“It's too painful!”

“It's simply, simply—”

The pain instantly generated in the right hoof directly acted upon the core soul. The three clones share one soul! When the Golden Horned Beast roared in pain, the Demon Killer Clan clone and the Earth human original body were equally in excruciating pain. This pain had surpassed the physical level, a pain that even the soul's will couldn't control...

It directly penetrated the soul.

“Whoosh!”

“Awoo!!!” The Golden Horned Beast, as the direct recipient, felt the most intense pain. Its entire body uncontrollably flew wildly across the metal continent, crashing around. Golden mountain ranges were split open upon impact, and dozens of kilometers deep ravines were carved into the ground.

While the Golden Horned Beast was in immense pain, the scale armor of its right hoof turned light gold, and the scales seemed to become thinner. The sharp claws of the right hoof also turned light gold, and the edges of the blade-like claws faintly showed incredibly tiny mystical patterns.

Sizzle~~~

The scale armor returned to black, the claws returned to their original state, and the pain slowly dissipated.

“Hoo!” Black-Clothed Luo Feng stood up straight.

Luo Feng in the giant pit also let out a long sigh of relief.

The Golden Horned Beast also lay on the ground for a long time before recovering.

“I knew fusing ten Xueluo Crystals would be special, but to be this painful.” Luo Feng was speechless. For someone with weaker will, this pain alone... could probably shatter their soul and kill them.

“Whoosh!”

The Golden Horned Beast rumbled to its feet, swinging its right hoof like a celestial pillar, and simultaneously activated the mysterious power latent within the hoof. The moment the mysterious power was activated... the surface scale armor of the Golden Horned Beast's right hoof instantly underwent a massive change. The scale armor, bones, muscles, claws, and other fundamental genes within were rapidly changing.

This was a fundamental change in material composition!

This change, manifested externally, was the thinning of the right hoof's scale armor, turning light gold. The muscles subtly became thicker, the blood vessels inside turned light gold, and the sharpest claws of the right hoof... also turned into light gold, blade-like claws, with mystical patterns almost invisible to the naked eye on their edges.

At the same time!

Blood-red mystical patterns also appeared on the entire light gold right hoof, incredibly complex and perfect blood-red mystical patterns, forming a perfect whole!

“This, this...”

Black-Clothed Luo Feng and Luo Feng's original body were both shocked.

The Golden Horned Beast looked down at its right hoof, clearly feeling the incredible power contained within it, then suddenly swung its claw...

“The perception of the universe's origin and the unleashing of laws are three times what they were before fusion!” Luo Feng's consciousness could clearly sense the immense change in the Golden Horned Beast's right hoof. “This, this is still within my imagination. But now this right hoof itself... actually, its basic structure has changed!”

Ordinary carbon is composed of carbon atoms.

Diamonds are also composed of carbon atoms.

When the structure changes, the external power displayed will also change drastically. After fusing ten Xueluo Crystals, that mysterious power itself seemed to undergo a transformation, containing some special effect, actually directly changing the material composition of the right hoof. Not only did the interior change, but even the external scale armor turned light gold.

“Such powerful strength.”

“The power of this right hoof is comparable to the total strength of the Golden Horned Beast's entire body before its transformation.” The Golden Horned Beast gently swung its right hoof, each time causing the air to vibrate.

How massive is the Golden Horned Beast's body?

Its power mainly comes from its massive body, its tail nearly as long as its body, its incredibly huge scaled wings, and its four hooves!

And now, the power contained in just one right hoof rivals the power of its entire body before. What does that mean?

“The innate secret technique 'Enhancement' makes my strength double.”

“And the right hoof contains the strength of the entire body before. If I can perfectly control the power of my entire body, one claw strike... wouldn't that be equal to double the strength of my entire body before the transformation?”

“The transformation of the right hoof, in terms of strength, is equivalent to an innate secret technique 'Enhancement.'” Luo Feng was shocked.

Xueluo Crystals!

The strange and terrifying Xueluo Crystals, not only in terms of various laws of the universe's origin, but now they even perform a transformation on the basic composition of the body.

Actually, during the first fusion, Luo Feng felt that the Xueluo Crystal energy could change the body's genes, allowing the body to instantly become a beastman, or a scaled person, or... but that was only during the fusion process. Once the fusion ended, it returned to normal. Although Luo Feng always suspected... Xueluo Crystals had other abilities.

But he never found them!

Fusing three, he didn't find them.

After fusing ten Xueluo Crystals, Luo Feng discovered the terrifying ability!

“The Golden Horned Beast's right hoof itself must have increased by at least ten times to rival the strength of its entire body before.” Luo Feng sighed inwardly, realizing that taking on this 'Xueluo World' mission was truly the right decision.

Fusing ten Xueluo Crystals.

The Golden Horned Beast's most proficient physical strength doubled.

Law comprehension and law power unleashed were three times what they were before! Overall strength... indeed soared significantly.

“Continue fusing!”

“Even that desolate beast Qi Niu could fuse twelve. My Golden Horned Beast clone should be able to fuse more.” Luo Feng was incredibly excited at this moment.

...The Golden Horned Beast also roared excitedly upwards, then began fusing Xueluo Crystals again.

The 11th one... the pain was indeed strong, but clearly weaker than the abnormal agony experienced when fusing the tenth one.

After successfully fusing the 11th one, sure enough, the comprehension of the universe's origin and the unleashing of law power still showed a slight increase.

The 12th one...

The 13th one...

The 14th one...

The 15th one...

Uh, none left.

“None left, no more Xueluo Crystals. All fused!”

“I need Xueluo Crystals!”

“I need more Xueluo Crystals, the more the better!”

The Golden Horned Beast roared upwards in excitement, Black-Clothed Luo Feng also clenched his fists, and Luo Feng in the 'giant pit' outside also suddenly stood up, frowning deeply: “Xueluo Crystals, a large quantity of Xueluo Crystals, where can I get them?”
