Getting Out

Back then, in the Xueluo Continent, the Demon Killer Clan clone traversed the land with a mechanical spaceship, extensively plundering nearly ten thousand Xueluo Crystals. Although the Golden Horned Beast's genetic makeup was far stronger than that of the savage beast Qi Niu, after successfully fusing the 97th Xueluo Crystal, the malevolent aura triggered by continuing to fuse Xueluo Crystals was truly terrifying, and Luo Feng's will couldn't withstand it. So, back then, he could only temporarily stop, quietly waiting for a future breakthrough. “The Demonic Sound God General's inheritance, during its cultivation process, constantly pushed my endurance and was a tremendous tempering for my will.” “Moreover, this inherited secret technique is specifically for transforming the soul, making my control over the soul dozens of times stronger,” Luo Feng thought to himself. “Adding these past 12 years, I have never stopped cultivating my mind.” Cultivating the mind is completely different from other forms of cultivation. For instance, comprehending laws or researching secret techniques all require significant mental effort. However, cultivating the mind doesn't require much mental effort; it's actually a state of mind. For example, during combat, one must adjust their state of mind well; otherwise, they might perform abnormally, only able to exert seventy to eighty percent of their strength. While individuals like Lei Shen and Hong, who have extremely high levels in cultivating the mind, remain unshaken even when encountering the most complex situations. They, on the contrary, will perform exceptionally during battle! Others might perform exceptionally due to a burst under specific circumstances, but Hong, for example, can always maintain 200% of his performance! This is an ultra-extreme display of strength achieved under an extremely high state of mind. Of course— Hong, in terms of cultivating the mind, is comparable to the sages in Huaxia Nation's history, who throughout all ages were considered to have transcended the mundane and entered sainthood! Even Lei Shen's state of mind is a full level below Hong's. And Luo Feng... is even a notch below Lei Shen. Fortunately, Luo Feng has the guidance of these two master-like figures, Hong and Lei Shen, so he has continuously progressed in cultivating his mind. Cultivating the mind has little to do with the years spent cultivating. While some warriors cultivate, to reach the level of an Undying God, it takes at least tens of thousands of years, some even millions of years! But in terms of cultivating the mind, one can reach the highest level in just a few decades. After all, the ancients of Huaxia Nation mostly lived no more than a hundred years. Twelve years! In these 12 years, Luo Feng made significant progress. Unfortunately, in the three realms of mind cultivation, he was still only at the peak of the first realm. Of course, purely in terms of will, he was already extremely formidable. ... Luo Feng stood on the silent plaza. Inside his internal world, the Golden Horned Beast, massive like a continuous mountain range, its dark golden eyes comparable to two large lakes, was staring at the Xueluo Crystal resting on the scales of its right claw. “The 99th one!” Its right claw clenched slightly, and at the same time, its sharp talons dug into its palm, instantly tearing the scales. And that tiny Xueluo Crystal, under the Golden Horned Beast's psychic energy control, directly touched the wound on the scales. With this contact, an invisible force instantly transmitted into the Golden Horned Beast's body. “Roar~~” The Golden Horned Beast threw its head back and let out a painful, furious roar. This was the clash of malevolent aura against will! The boundless malevolent aura, covering the sky and earth, was like countless roaring chariots surging forward to crush him. Luo Feng's will, condensed like a blade, continuously resisted each impact. This kind of purely will-based impact, even with the most powerful martial strength, offered no assistance whatsoever. “I will definitely win!” “I can definitely win, this malevolent aura won't break me, it won't break me!!!” Luo Feng's will roared. He persevered again and again... Suddenly, the originally fierce malevolent aura receded rapidly like a retreating tide. At the same time, the Xueluo Crystal resting on the Golden Horned Beast's right claw began to transmit wisps of Xueluo power. The Xueluo power continuously integrated into the Golden Horned Beast's right claw, once again transforming the Golden Horned Beast's terrifying right claw. Pain, once again, assailed it! The pain of fusing the 99th Xueluo Crystal was imaginable; it made the Golden Horned Beast, in its agony and madness, repeatedly smash the earth and tear apart mountains. But no matter how painful... it had to endure it. Finally, the intense pain receded. The 99th Xueluo Crystal completely integrated into its right hoof-claw. “Roar~~~” The Golden Horned Beast excitedly threw its head back and roared, the sound echoing throughout its boundless internal world. It slightly raised its right hoof-claw, driving the powerful Xueluo power latent within it. Instantly, the entire right hoof-claw rapidly transformed. Its bones, scales, muscles, and so on underwent a metamorphosis from the deepest cellular level, directly turning into a pale golden hoof-claw. Moreover, the hoof-claw was covered in dense, intricate blood-red secret patterns. The secret patterns covered the entire right hoof-claw, subtly forming a graphic: a roaring beast head image. “What a strange image!” Previously, after successfully fusing the 98th Xueluo Crystal, Luo Feng hadn't noticed that the blood-red secret patterns displayed on the right hoof-claw formed a 'roaring beast head image'. But when the 99th one was fused, hundreds of secret patterns were added, making the originally scattered patterns much more complete. The secret patterns formed an entire beast head, very much like the beast head of the Beast God Statue. The only difference was— It lacked the single horn of the Beast God Statue! Precisely because of this missing horn... seeing the image formed by these blood-red secret patterns always made Luo Feng feel it wasn't complete. “I estimate it will be complete after fusing the 100th Xueluo Crystal.” “Alright, let's try,” the Golden Horned Beast thought, “see if I can fuse the 100th Xueluo Crystal.” It once again took out a Xueluo Crystal and began to attempt fusion... ... On the plaza, Luo Feng stood, while the rocky ground beside him was covered in fresh blood. This was from the painful outburst of his Earthling true body when fusing the 99th Xueluo Crystal just now. “Phew!” “Fusing the 100th Xueluo Crystal failed,” Luo Feng said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. “Fusing the 100th Xueluo Crystal is indeed very difficult. It will probably take a few more years, for my will to improve further, before I can successfully fuse it.” Fusing the 99th one succeeded, but the 100th failed, yet Luo Feng was very excited. Because the blood-red secret patterns displayed on the right hoof-claw surprisingly formed a roaring beast head image, and that beast head was almost identical to the 'head of the Beast God Statue', only lacking a single horn. “Xueluo Crystals are indeed related to the legendary Beast God of the Xueluo Continent,” Luo Feng thought to himself. “Whether it's Blood Warriors, Black Warriors, or the 'Xueluo power' that the Golden Horned Beast can wield, they are all inextricably linked to that Beast God.” “Hmm. And I estimate that once the 100th Xueluo Crystal is successfully fused, that single horn will form. After the entire secret pattern image is perfected... there might very well be a huge surprise.” Luo Feng was in a joyful mood. He looked around the plaza; there were no other living beings on the plaza, but the abyss world beneath the inheritance palace was teeming with billions of illusory beasts. Countless illusory beasts, even massive Undying-level illusory beasts, there were quite a few of them. “Time to go back!” Luo Feng's body transformed. Whoosh! He switched to his Demon Killer Clan clone, which instantly transformed into an ice bear. The simple and adorable ice bear looked around, then suddenly charged forward. Whoosh! The ice bear directly rushed through the white light screen and immediately saw countless illusory beasts in the boundless abyss world below. With a thud, the ice bear directly fell onto the ice layer and foolishly got back up. The surrounding illusory beasts, equally foolish, hardly any of them paid attention to this ice bear. “Hmm?” The ice bear looked up at the 32 floating palaces in the air. “Huh, all 32 palaces have white light shields?” Immediately after, the white light shield surrounding the palace where Luo Feng had received his inheritance earlier began to slowly dissipate. “It seems there are living beings receiving inheritances in the other 31 palaces,” the ice bear thought, glancing around. “Anyway, I've already received an inheritance, I can't receive more. Alright, time to get out of here!” The ice bear looked around. The vast, cold abyss world, no matter which direction one looked, one couldn't see the end. It was covered in dense illusory beasts; the sheer number of them was simply incredible. “How... how do I get out?” The ice bear Luo Feng was stunned. “The way I came is the way I leave?” Back then, he was kicked into a deep hole by Mo Luo and fell into this abyss world. But trying to fly back through that deep hole? “In that deep hole area, there are quite a few massive 'Undying-level' illusory beasts. Each Undying-level illusory beast controls many deep holes simultaneously. The devouring power casually unleashed by a single Undying-level illusory beast is already terrifying. It's better if I don't provoke them,” Luo Feng recalled. The abyss below, filled with numerous deep holes, was home to Undying-level illusory beasts. When Luo Feng transformed into an ice bear, he hadn't seen any other illusory beasts fly into the deep holes. “Other illusory beasts haven't flown into the deep holes. What other illusory beasts don't do, I shouldn't do either,” Luo Feng thought to himself. ... Immediately, the ice bear began to wander through this vast abyss world. But after three days, the ice bear still hadn't found a way to leave this abyss world, which made it anxious. “I'll just keep walking in one direction!” “I refuse to believe there's no end!” The ice bear began to continuously advance in one direction, sometimes running and darting for millions of kilometers, sometimes leisurely waddling along for a while. Just like that, this ice bear walked further and further. Gradually, the illusory beasts it could see within its field of vision became fewer and fewer. “When can I get out of this damned place?” The ice bear Luo Feng muttered, still maintaining its direction of advance. The illusory beasts within its field of vision eventually became so sparse that it would only see one after a long time. “Roar!” A powerful demonic sound swept past instantly, and the ice bear Luo Feng trembled slightly. Although it was transformed by the Demon Killer Clan clone, after all, this ice bear contained Luo Feng's 'core', and a soul was hidden within the core, so it was naturally affected by the demonic sound. “This demonic sound can probably affect early-stage Sector Lord experts.” “Demonic sound?” The ice bear suddenly stopped, its eyes wide and round, filled with human emotion. “There's actually a demonic sound!!!” After walking such a long distance in the abyss world, he had never encountered a demonic sound impact. “Damn it!” “Finally encountered a demonic sound.” The ice bear Luo Feng was incredibly excited, so excited he wanted to cry. “If I can detect a demonic sound here, it seems I'm almost out of this abyss world.” The excited ice bear immediately transformed into a phantom and dashed forward. After dashing for tens of thousands of kilometers in one go, it finally saw a vast mountain wall of rocky ice. On the mountain wall were numerous cave passages. “How familiar these deep, dark caves are, how delightful these deep, dark caves are!” The ice bear excitedly waved its large paws, then darted into one of the deep, dark caves.
