Chapter 790
Creating Ultimate Techniques on Fog Sand Island
During his 1200 years of comprehension in Chaos City, Luo Feng had already been troubled by the issue of combat techniques for his Earthling body's blade arts and the Golden Horned Beast's close-quarters combat. While the Virtual Universe Company certainly had many secret techniques, they contained various laws. Luo Feng simply couldn't find a blade art or combat technique specifically for the Beast God Path.
After all—
No human had ever reached the 'Xiluoduo' realm on the Beast God Path. Even if some Universe Venerables created blade arts, they were all in their nascent stages. Such incomplete blade arts and combat methods would naturally not be sold! Selling such nascent and imperfect secret techniques would be an insult to the Universe Venerables.
Precisely because he couldn't find suitable combat techniques, the only one with significant achievements on the Beast God Path, Xiluoduo, utilized psychic techniques.
“I've been troubled for so many years.”
“Even after coming to the Outer Territory Battlefield, I'm still bothered by this. I even spent a century improving the 'Seven Absolutes Blade of Shadow' to create the 'New Seven Absolutes Blade'. But that was merely an improvement, too low-tier. However, during the century I spent creating this 'New Seven Absolutes Blade', I continuously accumulated experience, which can be considered a deep accumulation that's now bearing fruit.” Luo Feng's eyes sparkled. “This battle has finally shown me a combat path suited for me!”
To advance, one must first confirm a path.
Before, Luo Feng was quite aimless.
And there was no prior experience to draw upon.
“I was truly foolish,” Luo Feng mused. “Beast God, Beast God… a Beast God is inherently an embodiment of fused laws. A Beast God is the 'Space-Gold Fused Law', and the Space-Gold Fused Law is a Beast God! As I continuously cultivate, the Golden Horned Beast will naturally transform into a Beast God, drawing closer and closer to one.”
“Regardless of its hooves, claws, sharp horns, or tail, all are weapons of a Beast God.”
“Because it was too balanced.”
“For a time, I couldn't find the most suitable method… I didn't know whether to research claw techniques, or scaled tail techniques, or other skills.”
“Thinking back now… I was truly foolish. The Golden Horned Beast's strongest asset is undoubtedly the 'Shio Wing'.” Luo Feng was very excited. “The Shio Wing is a treasure that even Universe Masters find somewhat useful… naturally, the strong become stronger. When creating my own secret techniques, I should create ones suitable for 'wing' attacks.”
“The Shio Wing is already powerful.”
“By creating secret techniques to complement it, fully integrating the Beast God Path within, that will naturally be the strongest method.” Luo Feng smiled.
Humans create blade arts, sword arts, and so on.
Why?
Because they can craft blades and swords that are harder and sharper than human fists and feet. Thus, blades and swords became weapons. If blades and swords were inferior to fists, powerhouses would fight with their bare hands. In reality, powerhouses all use weapons; even those who use their fists employ special gauntlets.
“Humans create blade arts, sword arts, and psychic weapon techniques.”
“The Golden Horned Beast should create scaled wing attack techniques.”
...
Once the path was clear, the next step was to dedicate effort to research.
Luo Feng began his frantic research. 'Three-Shake Shuttle Universe' and 'Lieyu' both contained techniques for utilizing wings, including attack methods. It's important to note that the Golden Horned Beast inherently possesses scaled wings, and its inherited memories contain many secret techniques for combat using scaled wings, all of which Luo Feng meticulously studied.
Afterward, he exchanged for some wing-based racial secret techniques from the Virtual Universe Company's treasure vault. While they might not be as profound as 'Lieyu' or 'Three-Shake Shuttle Universe', what Luo Feng needed now was to draw inspiration and accumulate experience for creating secret techniques. Observing various approaches to creating secret techniques helped broaden his horizons.
...
By observing various wing-based combat techniques and then integrating the 'Beast God Intent', Luo Feng gradually began to create his own combat techniques.
...
On Fog Sand Island.
“Silver monster, run!”
“Run!”
“It's too fast, its speed is terrifying. It must be King-level.”
“Small—”
The four alien powerhouses fled in panic, but the vibrating scaled wings flashed past them like a fleeting light in the sky, so fast it made their hearts pound. Immediately after, all four alien powerhouses shattered. These alien powerhouses, merely at the pinnacle of Immortal General, could not resist the trace of spatial power contained within the terrifying Shio Wing. They instantly disintegrated completely and perished.
...
“Everyone, scatter and flee!”
“It's the silver monster!”
“May one of us escape!”
The pitiful alien Immortals were once again ravaged.
...
As time passed, the legend of the 'silver monster' spread throughout Fog Sand Island.
Among the discussions of numerous alien Immortals, it was agreed that this silver monster was a peculiar beast possessing at least Marquis-level pinnacle strength, if not King-level. Encountering this silver monster… was a disaster! At least on Fog Sand Island, no alien powerhouse could contend with the silver monster.
No one knew the origin of the silver monster.
They only knew—
The silver monster belonged to the human faction. However, each of the four major factions had a large number of alien powerhouses under its command, and some special alien races were rare and powerful. Perhaps this silver monster was a creature that suddenly emerged from a remote corner of the vast universe, from a small ethnic group.
...
“This is outrageous!”
“Even if this silver monster isn't King-level, it must have Marquis-level pinnacle strength. And its speed is terrifying. With such power… how can it remain on Fog Sand Island? It should go to the main continent! The main continent has a large number of Marquis-level Immortals, and even a few King-level ones! That's where its battlefield should be.”
“Exactly, it's too much! Of the twelve Marquis-level Immortals on Fog Sand Island, it's said that two or three have already perished.”
“Don't say that. It's hard to say if they perished at the hands of the silver monster. Perhaps they escaped to the main continent. Even if those alien Marquis-level Immortals leave, they wouldn't notify us.”
“Hmm.”
“Actually, the silver monster isn't so bad; it only kills once every year or two. The most terrifying thing is that once you encounter it, you're almost certainly doomed. That's why many alien powerhouses have been scared away from Fog Sand Island. Nowadays, the number of powerhouses from various races on Fog Sand Island has significantly decreased.”
On a spaceship, numerous alien Immortals under the Insectoid race discussed amongst themselves.
...
The name of the silver monster indeed became the nightmare of the entire Fog Sand Island.
Its prestige surpassed that of the thirteen overlords of yesteryear.
The twelve Marquis-level Immortals and the Star Devourer Sector Lord of that time couldn't compare to the silver monster!
When encountering other beings… the probability of escape was very high. Only when encountering the silver monster, even if six alien Immortals scattered to flee, perhaps three escaping would be considered lucky.
...
After more than a hundred years of researching scaled wing attack techniques on Fog Sand Island, Luo Feng finally developed a basic 'Shio Wing' attack technique. Although it seemed crude compared to Xiluoduo's ultimate technique, it already surpassed the tier of the 'New Seven Absolutes Blade', and there was still much room for improvement.
“Creating secret techniques is indeed not easy.”
“Especially creating top-tier secret techniques is even harder, like 'Soul Imprint' or 'Seven Absolutes Blade of Shadow'…” Luo Feng shook his head slightly. His vision had broadened, his comprehension of laws far surpassed his teacher Huyan Bo, and he had seen a great many top-tier secret techniques. Coupled with the guidance of Chaos City Lord—how could Luo Feng's progress be slow?
“Hmm.”
“It's time to see my teacher, Chaos City Lord.” Luo Feng sent a wisp of consciousness to connect to the Virtual Universe Network.
...
According to Chaos City Lord's requirements, Luo Feng was supposed to frequently seek his guidance at the 'Chaos Temple' on Thunder Island.
Virtual Universe, Thunder Island.
At the highest point of Thunder Island, within the hazy chaotic airflow, stood a divine temple. It was the highest temple on the entire Thunder Island, and Luo Feng, as a direct disciple, was now qualified to enter it.
“Whoosh.” Luo Feng abruptly appeared before the temple. There were no servants or attendants inside the temple, it was empty, with only the omnipresent chaotic airflow.
He strode inside.
Walking through the main hall of the temple, he stopped and respectfully said, “Teacher.”
“What is it?” A voice came from deep within the chaotic airflow.
“My self-created Shio Wing combat technique has achieved initial success, a minor accomplishment. I ask for teacher's evaluation,” Luo Feng respectfully said.
“Demonstrate it,” the voice replied.
“Yes.”
Luo Feng said respectfully.
With a thought, Luo Feng disappeared, and a Golden Horned Beast over a hundred kilometers long appeared out of thin air. This was the 'Virtual Universe'; everything could be virtualized. And according to his teacher Chaos City Lord… his Chaos Temple also had some characteristics of a 'practice field', where one could manifest anything with a thought.
Luo Feng naturally transformed into the Golden Horned Beast, and the Shio Wing was integrated into its wings (the Shio Wing was, of course, also simulated by the Virtual Universe)!
The most powerful authority in the Virtual Universe Company was Chaos City Lord, so Luo Feng transforming into a Golden Horned Beast and so on, naturally, there was no need to worry about confidentiality.
“Whoosh!”
The Golden Horned Beast spread its wings and shook them violently. This shake drew upon the experience of 'Three-Shake Shuttle Universe'. The horizontal cut of its wings during flight had the profound essence of 'entering where there is no thickness'. The cosmic space, at this moment, was sliced open as easily as tofu by a sharp blade, cut very lightly and naturally.
The wings swept across the sky, leaving only a faint, faint trace.
Whoosh!
The Golden Horned Beast slowly landed on the temple, then transformed back into Luo Feng.
“Teacher,” Luo Feng said respectfully.
In his heart, Luo Feng was quite confident. If, a hundred years ago, he had used the Shio Wing purely with basic techniques, relying more on speed and the inherent special properties of the Shio Wing, now it had returned to simplicity, seemingly ordinary, yet its power had increased severalfold. How could Luo Feng not be pleased?
“Hmm,” the voice from the chaotic airflow replied.
“Your wing attack technique is now considered entry-level. Clearly, this secret technique of yours is not yet perfected; if perfected, it should be much stronger. However, it will be difficult to find suitable opponents for refinement in the Outer Territory Battlefield. From today onwards, you will frequently be in your practice field. I will arrange some special opponents for you, targeting your various weaknesses, allowing you to battle them to refine your wing attack technique. It will likely take one to two thousand years for your first ultimate technique to be considered accomplished.”
“Yes, Teacher,” Luo Feng replied with utmost respect.
