Divine Body Splitting

Babata rambled on, pouring out his emotions—the suppression of tens of thousands of years, the pain of his old master's demise, the exhilaration of finally achieving revenge, and the nostalgic memories of countless bygone years...

"Luo Feng, I'm ready," Babata said, looking at Luo Feng. "Thank you."

"Senior Huyan Bo was kind to me, and I've acknowledged him as my teacher. This is what I should do. Babata, shall I now take you back into the World Ring?" Luo Feng asked.

"Inside the World Ring, I can also consult with other King-level powerhouses and become an Immortal sooner," Babata nodded. "With my current strength, I'd only hinder you. Besides, I can still contact you through the auxiliary AI."

With a thought, Luo Feng guided Babata directly into the World Ring.

After gaining the Heart of Evolution, Babata was like a 'Machine Race member.' It was easy for Machine Race members to become Sector Lords, but becoming an Immortal... that was incredibly difficult.

Luo Feng looked down at the countless people kneeling and trembling below, then instantly teleported, leaving Demon Hand Star.

"He's gone."

"The Golden-Armored God is gone."

"That was terrifying! The Demon Emperor had no power to resist before the Golden-Armored God. I heard gods have immortal bodies, but the Demon Emperor was killed so easily."

"With the Demon Emperor fallen, we no longer need to fear, haha! This starfield is ours now!"

The entire Demon Hand Star immediately began a change of power.

...

In a remote starfield far, far away in the cosmos, an immeasurable distance from human territory, within an ordinary star—a celestial body extremely common in the universe—this particular star was unique... because amidst its endless flames, a figure resided.

A figure sat cross-legged within the star.

"Indeed, a powerhouse has killed me." A voice filled with hatred rang out. This figure was none other than the Demon Hand King, Suoluopu.

Suoluopu sat cross-legged, the star's intense heat naturally having no effect on him.

"And the newcomer was so powerful, yet concealed their identity. It's highly likely they were sent by His Highness Luo Feng. I had long suspected... that this day might come!" Suoluopu murmured. Back then, Luo Feng shone brilliantly in the genius battle and was even absorbed into the Virtual Universe Company. The Demon Hand King, Suoluopu, had kept an eye on Luo Feng ever since.

He suspected that Luo Feng had inherited Huyan Bo's legacy.

"Back then, when I pursued Huyan Bo, I used a soul secret technique. Huyan Bo was certainly doomed. Plus, he escaped too quickly in the Dark Universe, making him hard to chase in a short time. I stopped pursuing him because of a treasure."

"He had many hidden places; who knew where he fled before his death?"

"Fifty thousand years later, Luo Feng suddenly rose. He was a Spirit Reader from the same lineage, and he could buy Earth. How could a native kid... afford a planet without special gains? And his performance in the genius battle was so heaven-defying; who would believe he hadn't received an inheritance? At that time, I suspected he might be connected to Huyan Bo! But he was always in Chaos City, and I couldn't do anything to him."

"Finally—"

"He became a Domain Lord and returned to the Ganwu Universe Kingdom. At this time, the spaceship he used was none other than the Yunmo Star Ship! Hmph, the Yunmo Star Ship... there's no doubt now, he's Huyan Bo's direct disciple!"

"But at that time, he was an inspection envoy, a member of the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Region. If I dared to act, once discovered... I would be dead."

"I could only gamble that Huyan Bo hadn't left any messages before his death, hadn't told his disciple who killed him. If he truly cared for his disciple, he wouldn't create a King-level Immortal enemy for them. After all, when he was alive, his few disciples were just average. How strong could a disciple from another generation be? He couldn't possibly predict the future!"

"It seems I guessed wrong!"

"He left a message and told Luo Feng."

"Luo Feng's status is extremely high now. It's easy for him to enlist the help of some super powerhouses. It's simple for him to ask a powerhouse to conceal their identity and casually kill me." The Demon Hand King, Suoluopu, sat cross-legged amidst the star's scorching flames, his eyes filled with fierce light. "Fortunately, fortunately, although I was gambling, I didn't dare to stake everything. I forcibly split my divine body into two, one part possessing 40% of my divine body, and the other 60%."

"Divine Body Splitting."

"The weaker divine body remained on Demon Hand Star, pretending to be severely injured, waiting for this day. The other divine body was hidden in a distant territory, silently waiting. My plan was to wait a million years... if no danger arose within a million years, I could reappear. Haha... fortunately, I had a backup plan, fortunately!"

"I don't have the qualifications to be resurrected by reversing time and space, but I kept this trick up my sleeve! Golden-Armored Man... although I don't know who you are, you were most likely invited by Luo Feng. Besides Luo Feng, none of my enemies could possibly enlist such a powerful figure."

"Luo Feng!"

"I can't defeat you now, but... I will return! I will return to human territory again!!!" Suoluopu let out a hysterical roar, which spread like a shockwave deep within the star.

...

Divine Body Splitting was not something ordinary powerhouses dared to attempt.

For instance, when the Demon Hand King split his divine body, one part was 60% and the other 40%. The 60% Immortal Divine Body only possessed one-tenth of its perfect state's strength. As for the 40% Immortal Divine Body, it was even weaker... In such a situation, both split divine bodies had significantly diminished combat power.

There was another risk: if an enemy gained 'soul control' over one of the split divine bodies, the Demon Hand King as a whole would be controlled.

Weakened strength!

Easier to be soul-controlled!

These two major risks were not something ordinary people would willingly bear! Of course, the only benefit these two risks offered was... a chance to turn the tables!

With Divine Body Splitting, the two split divine bodies sensed each other, so neither would recover. Only when one split divine body perished would the other gradually and slowly recover, taking a long time to return to its perfect state.

...

Time flowed on.

In the Dark Universe, a biological spaceship, resembling a ferocious beetle, was advancing at 80 times the speed of light.

Inside the spaceship's control room, a crystal-clear dining table was set. Twelve super powerhouses sat on either side, while Luo Feng occupied the main seat.

"Tomorrow, we'll reach the cosmic secret region. It's been over two years, and we're finally almost there. To the cosmic secret region we're about to arrive at, let's toast!" Luo Feng raised his cup.

"Congratulations, Master." The twelve powerhouses all shrunk their divine bodies to human size and raised their cups.

They all raised their cups and drank together.

At this moment, Luo Feng still didn't know that the 'Demon Hand King' Suoluopu, whom he had killed on Demon Hand Star over two years ago, was merely a split divine body. After all, such a probability was extremely small. Even if he knew, Luo Feng would have no recourse, as Suoluopu's other split divine body was undoubtedly hidden in a very remote and secret location.

Though helpless, Luo Feng was not afraid.

That 'Suoluopu' had cultivated for billions of years just to become a King-level Beginner Immortal, while his own twelve powerhouses were either King-level Peak Soul Masters or King-level Limit! Ordinary King-level beings weren't even qualified to sit at this table. Soul masters like Sky Array King, Chima King, and Heart Refining King themselves had groups of soul slaves, but those slaves were mostly ordinary Immortals or Marquis-level, with an occasional King-level, none of whom were truly formidable.

"The cosmos..." Luo Feng said, holding his wine glass, "is truly vast. Even with the help of your God Kingdoms to teleport to the closest point to that cosmic secret region, it's still nearly 2 billion light-years away. Even traveling at 80 times the speed of light in the Dark Universe, it still takes over two years."

"Master, it's mainly because the Wuhua Secret Region is too remote; none of us have ever been there," Heavy Arrow King chuckled.

"The cosmos is boundless, with countless cosmic secret regions scattered throughout. Since we participate in the Outer Territory Battlefield, we aren't too far from human territory. Only a very few of the powerhouses under your command come from truly distant lands. But none of us have ever been to the Wuhua Secret Region. That's why Master needed to fly for over two years in the Dark Universe," Overturn Water King added.

Luo Feng nodded.

The alien great power had placed the third black metal plate on Ice Prison Star. This Ice Prison Star was also incredibly remote. From human territory... if one relied on a spaceship, slowly flying at 80 times the speed of light in the Dark Universe, it would still take over a hundred years. One could imagine how vast the distance was. Fortunately, with the God Kingdom teleportation of his subordinates, most of the distance was bypassed.

"It's also fortunate that this biological spaceship is fast enough, even faster than the Yunmo Star Ship," Luo Feng mused.

"Boom!"

Outside the spaceship, a faint but powerful energy fluctuation was heard.

"It's an ambush."

"Another ambush."

Heavy Arrow King, Overturn Water King, Extreme Rainbow King, Sky Array King, and the others all chuckled. Luo Feng also smiled.

The Dark Universe corresponding to human territory was relatively safe, with very few Dark Universe bandits, as humanity's control was indeed strong. However, once outside human territory, flying through remote parts of the Dark Universe... one frequently encountered bandits and powerhouses fighting in other spaceships.

"Just some Marquis-level Immortals and ordinary Immortal aliens," Extreme Rainbow King said with a laugh, his divine power extending out to sweep and ascertain the situation.

"We're truly lonely," Sky Array King remarked. "Flying for over two years, we've encountered many ambushes, but not a single one dared to attack us."

"Those bandits aren't foolish either. Although a biological spaceship's grade isn't obvious from its exterior, we're maintaining 80 times the speed of light. Most King-level Immortals don't even have spaceships capable of that speed. Would those bandits dare to touch us?" Extreme Rainbow King's voice was sharp as he burst into laughter. "If you want to be ambushed, it's easy. Just slow down to 10 times the speed of light, and I guarantee... you'll be ambushed every few days."

"Haha..."

"Interesting."

"That would require Master's permission," the group of powerhouses said, laughing.

Luo Feng also smiled. This biological spaceship was the fastest among all the ships he had acquired after killing so many powerhouses and taking so many subordinates! The Yunmo Star Ship's maximum speed was 50 times the speed of light, and that was after modifications by the Virtual Universe Company. The further one went, the harder it was to increase speed. 80 times the speed of light... was truly incredible.

"Don't rush. Once we reach the cosmic secret region, you'll have plenty of opportunities to fight," Luo Feng said with a smile.

...

The next day, after more than two years of cosmic travel, Luo Feng and his group finally arrived at the cosmic secret region, the 'Wuhua Secret Region.' Ice Prison Star was located within this vast Wuhua Secret Region.
