The Second Tribulation is Complete

Luo Feng meticulously read through the information about the Hong Alliance, growing more astonished with each detail. Hong Alliance City gathered all the powerhouses of humanity and numerous other races. Who would possess treasures within such a collective? Naturally, it would be the mighty King-level Undying Beings, and even those Universe Lords, and the Universe Masters standing at the very pinnacle. They controlled the vast majority of wealth across the many races within the Hong Alliance. Therefore, auctions attended by so-called 'star-rated bank clients' paled in comparison to the transactions within Hong Alliance City... they were practically child's play. Ordinary transactions were measured in units of 'one billion mixed elements.' Some large-scale transactions were even more extravagant. For special and rare treasures, it was purely a matter of bartering. Auctions! Massive transactions! Elite teams venturing into cosmic secret realms! Elite teams in the outer-territory battlefield! Special organizations formed by shared interests and goals! In short... though Hong Alliance City only housed over three million powerhouses, they controlled the wealth and survival of humanity and countless other races. Humanity was the ruler of the Hong Alliance! Between super overlords like Chaos City Lord, Void Gold Master, and Dragon Walk Master, their interests might align regarding the survival of their race, but there were also conflicts of interest when it came to cultivating their own factions to seize treasures and so on! After all, even Chaos City Lord, Void Gold Master, and Dragon Walk Master... each had their own desires! There were internal struggles within humanity, and the numerous alien races also wanted to claim a larger share and acquire more resources! In summary... Hong Alliance City was truly a place where dragons and fish mixed, with influences spread far and wide. "Just the information I've gathered reveals so much; indeed, the greater the interests, the fiercer the struggles... Hmm, it seems I'll need to spend some serious time researching once I enter Hong Alliance City." "However, I am currently cultivating the second tribulation of the Nameless Secret Manual." "My Earth human body cultivates quickly, so it's better to finish cultivating soon, allowing my Earth human body to gain a foothold on Yan Ji Continent." On Yan Ji Continent, within Luo Feng's hidden lair. Luo Feng wasn't in a hurry to immediately go to Hong Alliance City; it was clearly a place rife with undercurrents, requiring careful investigation. "The first tribulation of the Nameless Secret Manual took my Earth human body three months to complete, but my Golden Horned Beast took 29 years." "The second tribulation seems to be similar." Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, Luo Feng had been cultivating the second tribulation for nearly three months. On a beach within the endless sea of his inner world. Luo Feng, half-naked, sat cross-legged on the beach. His entire body faintly glowed, and the aura he naturally exuded had become extraordinary. Just like powerful lifeforms such as the Golden Horned Beast and the Destroying Sand Beast, even in slumber, they would make other lifeforms feel a sense of pressure. This was the pressure brought by life's evolution. A peak bloodline like the Golden Horned Beast, at the peak of the Sector Lord stage, possessed ten times the strength of a human! After Luo Feng completed the second tribulation, his Earth human body also reached six times the strength of a normal human! This was absolutely comparable to the royal bloodline of the demon race. "Hoo." Luo Feng gently opened his eyes. "It's done." "My physical constitution has reached six times, not the nine times I'd guessed." Luo Feng shook his head with a smile. "I was too greedy. Genetic evolution is already defying the heavens; it's essentially made my Earth human bloodline comparable to a demon race's royal bloodline in one go. If I complete the third tribulation, I'll probably surpass even the peak bloodlines of Starry Sky Behemoths." This Nameless Secret Manual had a total of nine tribulations. First tribulation, 3 times. Second tribulation, 6 times. Third tribulation, ... All the way to the ninth tribulation. This secret technique alone could evolve an ordinary human body to a level far surpassing the bloodlines of Golden Horned Beasts and Destroying Sand Beasts, giving such a significant foundational lead, breaking through the cosmic laws' restrictions on races. What an heaven-defying secret technique was this? The higher Luo Feng's status, the more he realized the preciousness of this set of secret techniques. "It's time to try fusing Blood-Red Crystals. Last time, I fused eight Blood-Red Crystals... Now that I've completed the second tribulation of the Nameless Secret Manual, my genes have leaped significantly. I'm only one level below the Golden Horned Beast, already comparable to a demon race's royal bloodline." Luo Feng mused, "Perhaps I can become a 'Black Warrior,' a figure that hasn't appeared on Xueluo Continent for countless years." Splash~~~Splash~~~~ The seawater crashed against the beach, submerging Luo Feng's calves. "Let's begin." Luo Feng flipped his hand, and a beautiful, soul-stirring Blood-Red Crystal appeared. He cut his palm with his finger and directly grasped the Blood-Red Crystal. Luo Feng could easily endure the intense pain of fusing the ninth Blood-Red Crystal. He simply stood by the beach. A moment later, everything returned to calm. "Very good." "Success!" "The ninth one succeeded, now for the tenth." Luo Feng, who had been relatively calm until now, couldn't help but hold his breath. He quickly cut his palm and fused another Blood-Red Crystal. The baleful aura's invasion was easily resisted, and then the Xueluo power began to integrate into Luo Feng's body. Unlike the Golden Horned Beast, whose massive body only allowed its right foreclaw to integrate Xueluo power, Luo Feng's entire body was undergoing transformation. Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~ All his muscles trembled. "Crack!" Luo Feng's expression subtly changed. He gritted his teeth, lowering his head to look at the Blood-Red Crystal in his palm. The crystal was already completely transparent; the Xueluo power had fully entered his body and was undergoing its final transformation. "It must succeed!" "It must succeed!" Luo Feng's brows furrowed tightly as he sensed his entire body. His bones and tendons seemed to be pushed to their limit, emitting cracking sounds as if they could snap at any moment. The pressure caused by the Xueluo power integrating into every muscle, bone, and cell grew increasingly intense. As the last trace of Xueluo power merged, the pressure finally receded and vanished like an ebbing tide. Luo Feng, whose entire body had been covered in scales, saw the scales rapidly disappear from his skin. Luo Feng stood silently on the beach for a long time. "Hahahaha... I succeeded!" "I've become a Black Warrior, a true Black Warrior!" Luo Feng couldn't help but excitedly swing his right fist, causing a tremor in space. A powerful shockwave spread in all directions, instantly raising calm waves hundreds of meters high, which then rolled away into the distance. "Ten crystals! The tenth one succeeded." "In the Xueluo World, Black Warriors are already legends, yet I succeeded." Although Luo Feng had long considered it possible, he couldn't help but feel excited when it actually happened. In fact, Luo Feng's success was quite normal. In terms of genes, Luo Feng far surpassed the natives of the Xueluo World. Even the Qi Niu, a desolate beast comparable to a demon race's royal bloodline... was merely on par with Luo Feng. The Qi Niu fused slightly more than Luo Feng, firstly because its genes were high, and secondly because the Qi Niu was a native desolate beast of the Xueluo World, influenced by the invisible Beast God aura during its gestation, naturally making it more capable of fusing Blood-Red Crystals. "Although I almost failed at the last moment, I still succeeded." "I wonder if my guess is correct..." Luo Feng's eyes lit up. "Whether my Earth human body will ascend to the heavens in one step or slowly climb, it all depends on this." "Xueluo Power!" A wild glint suddenly flashed in Luo Feng's eyes. Boom, a faint golden hue subtly appeared on his entire skin, and his eyes also held a trace of pale gold. His entire body simultaneously became slightly leaner, like refined steel, more condensed. At this moment, Luo Feng... looked less like a human and more like an unparalleled fierce beast exuding true dominance. "It's true, it's true, my guess was actually true!" Ecstasy filled Luo Feng's eyes. "Hahahaha..." "I actually guessed it right." "My Earth human body fused with ten Blood-Red Crystals, and driven by Xueluo power, its genes transformed, and its physical strength actually surged, reaching ten times its previous level." Luo Feng was overjoyed. Yes, his physical strength was a full ten times what it was before. When the Golden Horned Beast fused ten Blood-Red Crystals, the strength of its right foreclaw alone was equivalent to its entire body's previous strength, meaning its overall strength reached twice its original level. One was two times! The other was ten times! Luo Feng, however, had already made a guess. The reason was simple: because the Golden Horned Beast's body was too massive, Xueluo power could only cover its right foreclaw! A single right foreclaw fusing ten crystals could rival its entire body's previous strength... So how much did the right foreclaw's own strength surge? Before its transformation, the right foreclaw itself was at most one-tenth of its entire body's strength, yet it suddenly surged to rival the entire body's strength... Ten times! The right foreclaw itself was at least ten times stronger than before it activated Xueluo power! If the Golden Horned Beast fused 100 Blood-Red Crystals, making its right foreclaw equivalent to ten times its previous full body strength, then how much did the right foreclaw itself evolve? At least a hundredfold. ... The Golden Horned Beast's massive body had both advantages and disadvantages; the disadvantage was that fusing Blood-Red Crystals was a significant drawback. However, Luo Feng's Earth human body had Xueluo power spread throughout, and the transformation was a complete full-body metamorphosis, so its physical strength naturally reached ten times its previous level. "Excellent, this truly surprises me. It seems my initial hypothesis can be established." Luo Feng, filled with anticipation and excitement, let out a low roar, "Beast God Transformation!" Instantly, countless scales began to appear on Luo Feng's skin, making him resemble a humanoid Beast God. "It succeeded." "The Beast God Transformation is a perfect success, hahahaha... My Earth human body now possesses sufficiently powerful combat strength." Luo Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter as he imagined future battle scenarios. ... Luo Feng cultivated the Nameless Secret Manual, and through genetic evolution, his physical strength was six times that of a normal human Sector Lord at their peak! And when Xueluo power was activated, this blood essence derived from the Beast God caused his body's genes to surge and evolve again... directly boosting it by ten times. This meant Luo Feng now possessed sixty times the strength of a Sector Lord. The first layer of Beast God Transformation amplified physical strength by two times! That would be 120 times the strength of a Sector Lord! And the minimum requirement for fusing the 'General Armor' was 100 times the strength of a Sector Lord. "Haha..." "I'll have another King-level combat power." Luo Feng, in his humanoid Beast God form, flipped his hand and took out a crystalline silver bead—the General Armor Bead. "General Armor Bead, fuse!" Whoosh! The General Armor Bead directly shot into Luo Feng's body, transforming into countless threads that began to merge into every muscle cell, organ cell, and other cells of Luo Feng... completely integrating. The pressure of fusing the General Armor Bead was immense, but the current Luo Feng could easily withstand it. A faint 'General' character appeared on Luo Feng's chest, then quickly submerged and vanished. "General Armor, appear!" A set of silver combat armor rapidly appeared on Luo Feng's entire body. The General Armor granted Luo Feng a full ten thousand times the strength of a Sector Lord, instantly elevating his physical strength to the King-level! Coupled with his blade techniques and peak ultimate techniques... A King-level combat power was thus formed! "Hahaha... From today onwards, I have two King-level combat powers." "Both my Earth human body and my Golden Horned Beast clone are King-level combat powers. If one can't deal with an enemy, both will go!
