Formidable Luo Feng

Dragon Tower Star, an ancient planet nurtured within the Taichu Secret Realm. If it were in a normal star system, a planet as massive as Dragon Tower Star simply couldn't exist. However, under the incredibly rich cosmic origin energy of the 'Cosmic Secret Realm,' the evolution of the original universe took a different path within this 'Cosmic Secret Realm,' giving birth to many peculiar celestial bodies and lifeforms. “Gravity, 10812 times Earth's gravity?” “Nitrogen accounts for 98% of the air?” Fully armed, Luo Feng walked through the vast forest, detailed information appearing on his left armguard screen. Luo Feng scanned his surroundings, his ears twitching slightly. “Sound!” Swish! His combat boots lightly stepped on withered leaves, and he instantly vanished… Hundreds of kilometers away, Luo Feng crouched on the branch of a crooked-necked ancient tree, its trunk over thirty meters thick, mottled with green and yellow. He gazed into the distance at a colossal creature tens of kilometers away. With Luo Feng's eyesight, he could clearly see every scale on the creature, known as a 'dragon,' even from tens of kilometers away. It stood approximately 1200 meters tall, with a main body length of about 1600 meters, and a short tail only about a hundred meters long. Its entire body seemed to be covered in scales carved from purple rock. Its head was enormous, especially its gaping maw, which was incredibly ferocious—it could probably drain a lake in a single gulp. Its four hooves were sturdy and powerful, making its running ability unquestionable. This was the lord of the surrounding ten thousand kilometers, a Rock Dragon, a species of Tyrannosaurus-like creature, possessing extreme aggression. A dense swarm of Pterodactyls, each about a hundred meters long, shrieked as they flew overhead. “Whoosh!” The Rock Dragon suddenly charged forward like lightning, leaving an afterimage on the distant barren wilderness. As it ran, it abruptly opened its mouth, and a crimson light flashed out, directly coiling around one of the Pterodactyls in the flock, causing the entire group to shriek and scatter. The captured Pterodactyl struggled frantically but was dragged directly into the Rock Dragon's gaping maw by the crimson tongue. Crunch, crunch, crunch… The hundred-meter-long Pterodactyl was completely devoured. “Roar~~” After eating its fill, the Rock Dragon threw its head back and roared contentedly. In the distant forest. Luo Feng crouched on the branch, looking down at his armguard screen. Clear data appeared: “Rock Dragon (Adult Form): Universe Level Ninth-tier Peak. One of the mission targets!” Swish! The screen switched to a complex catalog. This catalog contained many different types of dragons, but without exception, all targets were Universe Level Ninth-tier Peak. The mission on Dragon Tower Star was called the 'Dragon Hunter Mission.' The task was to kill all the targets listed in the catalog and bring back a specific material from their bodies as proof. Once all targets were hunted… upon returning, he could claim the mission points—10,000 points! This mission seemed simple; if he killed them one by one, it would indeed be easy. But the danger lay in… Dragon Tower Star wasn't just home to these 'weak' dragons (relative to a powerhouse like Luo Feng, Universe Level Ninth-tier dragons were indeed weak). Dragon Tower Star also harbored many Domain Lord Level, and even Sector Lord Peak Level dragons! If he provoked a Sector Lord Peak Level dragon, even a mechanical spaceship's 'planet-destroying cannon' would need a long time to charge for a single shot! And Dragon Tower Star had countless dragons. If he was surrounded… even in a spaceship, he wouldn't be able to escape! “A Rock Dragon?” Luo Feng nodded slightly. “The first one!” Whoosh! Luo Feng's figure vanished into thin air. Tens of kilometers away, on the barren wilderness outside the forest, the well-fed Rock Dragon roared as it surveyed its surroundings, full of arrogance. It had every right to be proud! Because over ninety percent of dragons were eaten or killed during their幼体 (infant) stage, with only a very few enduring countless hardships to reach full adulthood! On Dragon Tower Star, the weakest adult dragons were all Universe Level. Any adult dragon could control a territory. Of course, territories varied in size. “Go!” Luo Feng instantly appeared in mid-air, golden light radiating from behind him, instantly forming a dark golden longsword over three meters long. Yan Shen Blade Fifth Stage – Spatial Severance! Whoosh! “Roar—” The Rock Dragon's massive head turned slightly, only to see a tiny speck hovering in mid-air, staring at it. Just as it let out a roar of displeasure, a golden light shot directly towards it. The Rock Dragon tried to twist its head to dodge, but it felt an invisible spatial pressure restraining it. It was a fraction of a second too slow. Rip! The golden light directly entered the massive head, tearing and twisting… Then the golden light flew out of the head and swiftly returned behind Luo Feng. The Rock Dragon's enormous eyes were wide open, staring at the tiny speck, completely unaware of what terrifying creature this speck was. Then… its consciousness was extinguished. “Rumble~~~” The Rock Dragon's massive body crashed onto the barren wilderness, causing the ground to shake violently. Swish. Luo Feng landed on the Rock Dragon's corpse, his combat boots stepping on the purple rock scales. Surveying the entire dragon's corpse, it felt like a mountain. “Collect the inverse scale from its chest.” Luo Feng's body flickered, appearing before the Rock Dragon's chest. His mental energy directly peeled off a scale, placing it into his spatial ring. Swish! Luo Feng instantly descended into the distant wilderness weeds, peering through them, surveying his surroundings: “Next one.” On the vast Dragon Tower Star, anyone below Sector Lord Level who encountered Luo Feng was practically certain to die! Not to mention Luo Feng's camouflage combat armor and military trousers, which were made of very inexpensive alloy materials, albeit E9-grade. Luo Feng's greatest reliance was the Moyun Vine, which formed a close-fitting battle suit within his body. The Moyun Vine was now at Domain Lord Level Ninth-tier (eighty years in Xueluo World was more than enough), and by itself, it could sweep through anything below Sector Lord Level. For Luo Feng, the biggest problem was… how to evolve the Moyun Vine to Sector Lord Level. Use points? Luo Feng was reluctant. Use money? Luo Feng didn't have enough money right now. “I can only wait.” “Wait until I complete as many cultivation missions as possible and enter the Original Secret Realm. Then, I'll let my Earth human body advance to Domain Lord Level, and I'll receive the largest portion of my teacher's inheritance.” … Dragon Tower Star mission (Dangerous-tier). Completed in 39 days, rewarded 10,000 points. … Void Cliff mission (Dangerous-tier). Completed in 21 days, rewarded 15,000 points. … Luo Feng began a life of frantically executing missions. … According to the Virtual Universe Company's rules, only Universe Level geniuses could undertake cultivation missions, Domain Lord Level individuals were assigned to external posts, and Sector Lord Level individuals underwent life-and-death tempering. Universe Level geniuses could undertake a maximum of 10 missions every 100 years. To prevent endless mission-taking, there was a limit on the overall quota of missions each person could accept. A Universe Level genius in the Original Secret Realm could undertake a maximum of three Desperate-tier missions! Taichu Secret Realm members could undertake a maximum of two! Tiandi Secret Realm and Apocalypse Secret Realm members could only undertake one Desperate-tier mission at most! This was partly for safety. If one's strength wasn't enough to undertake a Desperate-tier mission, wasn't that just seeking death? Secondly, it was also about resource allocation. Desperate-tier missions were incredibly dangerous, but the point rewards were also exaggerated. Original Secret Realm members could undertake a maximum of three, which was the highest. Dangerous-tier missions: Original Secret Realm members could undertake a maximum of 15! Taichu Secret Realm members could undertake a maximum of 10! Tiandi Secret Realm members could undertake a maximum of 6! Apocalypse Secret Realm members could undertake a maximum of 3! Difficult-tier missions… Based on the point rewards, Luo Feng didn't even consider 'Safe-tier,' 'Normal-tier,' or 'Difficult-tier' missions. The rewards were too meager. Desperate-tier missions offered a minimum of 100,000 points, some hundreds of thousands, even millions of points! Dangerous-tier missions generally offered 10,000-20,000 points, with a maximum of 100,000 points. Difficult-tier missions were typically 1,000-2,000 points. Normal-tier missions were 100-200 points. Safe-tier missions, well, they offered too little. … Six months later. “Brother, you're amazing, truly amazing, incredibly amazing. Damn, how long has it been, and you've completed four Dangerous-tier missions?” Wuka looked at Luo Feng with an expression as if he'd seen a ghost. Rongjun, standing nearby, also stared at Luo Feng. Luo Feng sat there, holding a wine glass, and chuckled, “Don't be surprised. You asked me to tell you, and I wouldn't lie to a brother, but when I do… look at that expression.” “Including your Xueluo World mission, you've completed five Dangerous-tier missions, right?” Wuka mused. “As far as I know, Dangerous-tier missions are distributed across many secret realms, and there are only five Dangerous-tier missions specifically within the Taichu Secret Realm. To complete them so quickly, if you went to other star sectors, the travel time alone would be too long…” Wuka stared at Luo Feng: “The ones you completed were all Dangerous-tier missions within the Taichu Secret Realm?” “Clever,” Luo Feng said with a smile, nodding. “Ruthless,” Wuka shook his head repeatedly. “To save time, you didn't even bother to carefully select missions.” “Anyway, there are only three Dangerous-tier missions with high point rewards,” Luo Feng said with a faint smile. “Taichu Secret Realm members can undertake a maximum of 10 Dangerous-tier missions, so I still have quota.” “Eh?” Luo Feng looked down at Babata, who was fist-sized on his shoulder, then stood up. “Wuka, Rongjun, my teacher is looking for me, so I'll be leaving first.” “Teacher?” “Go on!” Neither of them stopped him. Luo Feng transformed into a streak of light and left Wuka's manor, flying towards his own. … In the manor's training ground. The tall and burly Zhenyan King stroked the golden fur on his face, looking at his disciple with an expression as if he'd seen a ghost. Although Zhenyan King was an ancient existence of billions of years, among his many disciples, only three to five truly satisfied him, and Luo Feng was one of them. “Your talent is high!” “Your progress is increasingly astonishing!” “You certainly have reason to be proud and confident.” Zhenyan King stroked the fur on his face, frowning as he looked at Luo Feng. “It's one thing that you continuously undertook five Dangerous-tier missions, but… a Desperate-tier mission! That's a desperate situation!” “What does 'desperate' mean?” “A death rate as high as 90%. Everyone who dares to enter is supremely confident, yet the death rate is still 90%. You, you said you… you're going to undertake a Desperate-tier mission without even participating in the first qualification battle. Tell me, should I call you arrogant and conceited, or supremely confident?” Zhenyan King couldn't help but try to persuade his beloved disciple. “Teacher, I've made my decision, and I'm full of confidence,” Luo Feng said.
