Cangniao Star

Examining the Yan God Clan's character mark, Luo Feng's mind raced with thoughts. The previous black combat armor was the 'Soldier Armor,' and this one appeared to be the 'General Armor.' The mark of the General Armor, following Luo Feng's will, submerged beneath his skin and vanished. “Let’s feel its power,” Luo Feng thought, and with a mental command, a surge of power erupted. Countless silver threads rapidly spread out from the 'General Armor mark' as its core, seemingly integrating into every muscle and inch of Luo Feng's skin, quickly covering his entire body. Simultaneously, a streamlined silver armor appeared on Luo Feng's skin, silver combat boots automatically formed on his feet, a silver mask covered his face, and a combat helmet adorned his head. “Hiss—” Luo Feng gasped, feeling intense pain in every muscle and organ, as if they were being torn apart. This General Armor possessed power far exceeding the Soldier Armor. Activating it pushed Luo Feng's body to its absolute limit, causing excruciating pain. “I’m probably only activating 1200 times the power of a Sector Lord,” Luo Feng judged, his assessment precise due to his advanced cultivation. “Hmm? When I used the Soldier Armor, I could easily activate all its power—1000 times a peak Sector Lord’s power.” Luo Feng pondered, “And judging by how the Golden Horned Beast activated the Soldier Armor back then, a normal human peak Sector Lord should be able to activate it. Yet, I am three times stronger than a normal human peak Sector Lord, but I can only activate an additional 200 times the Sector Lord’s power…” Luo Feng began to understand. The further one progressed, the higher the physical requirements. “It seems my body is still too weak; the Soldier Armor is just right. This General Armor… it’s too high-end for me,” Luo Feng mused. In truth, Luo Feng wasn’t wrong. The Soldier Armor was the most basic combat armor, designed for peak Sector Lords, while the General Armor was meant for Immortals. Naturally, its requirements were far more stringent. “General Armor Bead.” With a thought, Luo Feng expelled the General Armor from his body, transforming it into a General Armor Bead. This was a silver sphere, surprisingly smaller than the Soldier Armor Bead, with faint traces of the 'General' character mark on its surface. “Let the Golden Horned Beast try it. Its physique is much stronger than my Earth human true body,” Luo Feng thought. Whoosh! He immediately stored the General Armor Bead in his 'dark red world ring,' where his Demon Killer Clan clone and core were hidden. This 'dark red world ring' was a world ring Luo Feng had specially ordered in Chaos City for safety, costing 18,000 points. Inside his internal world, on the vast prairie, “Woo~~~” The mountain-like Golden Horned Beast roared, its cry filled with excitement. Simultaneously, a black 'Soldier Armor Bead' was expelled, dropping onto the grass beside it. It then lowered its head, resembling a towering peak, to look at the tiny 'General Armor Bead' on the ground. It gently touched the bead with its right claw, and instantly, “Hiss, hiss~~” the General Armor Bead transformed into silver liquid and merged into the Golden Horned Beast’s body. In a flash, the scales on the Golden Horned Beast’s chest and abdomen faintly displayed the Yan God Clan’s character 'General,' which then submerged and disappeared. “General Armor!” “Activate it.” The Golden Horned Beast’s eyes glowed with golden light as it let out a low roar. Boom~~~ The General Armor mark on its chest and abdomen instantly activated. Countless silver threads spread out, integrating into every muscle, sinew, and scale of the Golden Horned Beast’s body. Immediately, powerful forces surged through the Golden Horned Beast, climbing higher and higher… 1000 times Sector Lord power, 2000 times! 3000 times! 4000 times! 5000 times! Pain, intense pain, as if every muscle was tearing apart. “Woo!” The Golden Horned Beast let out an angry roar. Even with its physical strength, it couldn’t fully activate this General Armor. One must know that the Golden Horned Beast in its normal state could rival 30 times a Sector Lord’s power. “Roar~~” The Golden Horned Beast roared, immediately activating its secret technique, “Original Body Heaven and Earth.” Its scales, muscles, organs, and horns began to transform, constantly compressing and increasing in density! As its body gradually shrank, the Golden Horned Beast continuously activated the 'General Armor.' The increasing density of its muscles, bones, scales, and horns indeed allowed it to withstand the General Armor’s greater power! 6000 times! 7000 times! 8000 times! 9000 times! 10000 times! “Boom!” The Golden Horned Beast no longer felt any strain; this General Armor had been pushed to its limit. At this point, the Golden Horned Beast’s body had shrunk to about 300 kilometers long. A peak Sector Lord Golden Horned Beast is nearly 1000 kilometers long. “’Original Body Heaven and Earth’ amplified it by a little over 3.3 times. The Golden Horned Beast was already 30 times a normal human Sector Lord… totaling 100 times,” Luo Feng nodded to himself. “This is probably the lowest tier of a normal Immortal. It seems this General Armor is prepared for Immortals.” “Shrink!” “Shrink further.” The Golden Horned Beast roared, its massive body continuously shrinking. The density of its muscles, bones, and scales also steadily increased, finally stopping at the limit of the “Original Body Heaven and Earth” secret technique. It had cost 2.12 billion points to cultivate “Original Body Heaven and Earth” from 5 times to its current 7.5 times amplification. “Effortlessly activating this General Armor, tsk tsk… 10,000 times Sector Lord power. This is probably peak Marquis-level, barely touching the King-level,” a black-clad Luo Feng muttered beside the Golden Horned Beast, which was still over a hundred kilometers long and taller than any mountain on Earth. “Combined with the Sky-Rending Claw… and the Wu God Wings given by my teacher, tsk tsk…” Luo Feng nodded in satisfaction. Although it was still some distance from his mid-term goal, and he might be instantly annihilated by an existence like King Zhenyan, at least the current Golden Horned Beast had reached its short-term goal. “Not bad,” Luo Feng nodded contentedly. The Golden Horned Beast was one of his ultimate trump cards. After receiving guidance from his teacher, the Chaos City Lord, Luo Feng no longer dared to be arrogant. His fortuitous encounter of possessing the Golden Horned Beast was only 'upper-middle' tier; he only obtained 3 billion points. Ke Di, on the other hand, had over 100 billion points. So, he still needed to be humble. At least for now, he didn’t have the ability to kill a Marquis-level Immortal with an 'undying body.' Having collected one set of 'General Armor,' Luo Feng wasn’t about to stop there. His Earth human true body couldn’t use the 'General Armor' now, but what about in the future? He didn’t want to spend time treasure hunting again later. Years passed. Luo Feng’s Earth human true body roamed through the Wulong Starfield, continuously searching for silver armor fragments. His Golden Horned Beast and Demon Killer Clan clones continued to cultivate and improve. In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng had been in the Wulong Starfield for nearly 60 years, just three months shy of the full 60 years. “Haha.” “Finally, finally, I’ve collected a second set of General Armor!” A set of silver combat armor appeared on Luo Feng’s body, his face beaming with a smile. “This General Armor gets harder and harder to find the more you search.” The efficiency of collecting decreased over time. It took 21 years to collect the first set of General Armor, and then 39 years for the second. “I’ve collected two sets of General Armor, but for the Soldier Armor… I’ve collected a full 58 sets,” Luo Feng said with a shake of his head and a smile. “As for those mysterious shattered blade fragments, I’ve gathered nine of them in total, but I still can’t figure out what they’re for. Although they call to me, I can’t integrate them into my body, dripping blood on them is useless, and mental imprints don’t work either.” Luo Feng shook his head. He couldn’t understand the 9 blade fragments; at least, all the known methods of recognizing a master had failed to subdue them. Two sets of General Armor, 58 sets of Soldier Armor, plus the two sets of Soldier Armor collected during his first visit to the Wulong Starfield, made a total of 60 sets of Soldier Armor. “In 60 years, I’ve acquired two sets of General Armor, and my other trump card, the 'Insectoid Army,' now has Insectoid King Armies,” Luo Feng said with a smile. Inside his internal world, on the Insectoid Island, “Roar~~” The dark red, roughly 26-meter-tall Tiger Armored Insectoid King looked incredibly sturdy and savage, its compound eyes filled with ferocity. Although it was 4 meters shorter than a regular Tiger Armored Insectoid, its overall size was a full grade smaller. However, its shell strength, power, speed, and the density of its world power were far superior to ordinary Tiger Armored Insectoids. A King! Each Tiger Armored Insectoid King was incredibly costly to produce. If made with cosmic crystals, it would require 2500 mixed units! Enough to bankrupt a poorer Immortal. Of course, that was too extravagant. “If I had ordered them for delivery, I would only have received a million Tiger Armored Insectoid Kings.” “But because I personally came to select them, the five supervisors, eager to build connections, allowed me to get double the amount,” Luo Feng secretly rejoiced. Over 60 years, Yilina had created a '1.5 million Tiger Armored King Army,' a '200,000 Mantis Hunter King Army,' and a '200,000 Sharp Shadow King Army.' The remaining corpses were used to produce ordinary Tiger Armored Insectoids, and cultivation was still ongoing. “Insectoid King Army,” Luo Feng was very excited. Powerful individuals enjoyed the thrill of leading armies. A million-strong King Army was indeed incredibly formidable. It was tens of times stronger than a 'million-strong ordinary Insectoid Army.' A combined attack, if it landed, could even finish off a King-level Immortal. Of course, the probability of it landing was very low, but the Insectoid Queen’s combat command naturally had many strategies. “I came to the Wulong Starfield, and both my major goals—General Armor and the Insectoid King Army—have been accomplished.” “Everything is settled; it’s time to leave the Wulong Starfield and head to the Outer Battlefield.” Luo Feng’s departure from the Wulong Starfield was naturally met with enthusiastic hospitality from Longjue King, Qifeng King, Yinge King, Dalian King, and Cengyu King, who specially prepared a lavish farewell banquet. “To get to the Outer Battlefield from our Wulong Starfield, the closest route is to first go to Cangniao Star,” Longjue King said. “Cangniao Star is a logistics base and a troop transfer station. Cosmic warriors and many lone cultivators interested in participating in the racial wars can go to Cangniao Star, get assigned, and then be teleported to the Outer Battlefield.” Luo Feng nodded. Since he had come to the Wulong Starfield, his chosen route was naturally to go from Cangniao Star and then teleport to the Outer Battlefield. “Thank you all for your hospitality. I… will depart now,” Luo Feng said, rising with a smile. “Please be careful,” Longjue King said. “The Outer Battlefield is very dangerous; be extremely vigilant,” Yinge King solemnly warned. “Don’t be careless.” All five King-level Immortals earnestly cautioned him. “Haha… I will surely return alive from the Outer Battlefield,” Luo Feng chuckled, then departed, taking a spaceship to Cangniao Star, the 'troop transfer station'!
