Third Clone, Formed!

In the Virtual Universe, on Yuxiang Mountain, at a desk.

Luo Feng frowned as he looked at the information about 'Beast God Blood' displayed on the screen. 'One drop of Beast God Blood can be made from 100 Xueluo Crystals, but the production process is quite complex. I'll have to apply to the Virtual Universe Company for it.'

Luo Feng was well aware of the effects of Beast God Blood.

One drop of Beast God Blood, when integrated into the body, is essentially equivalent to one Xueluo Crystal. Therefore, using Beast God Blood is an extremely extravagant method. Normally, one would integrate up to a maximum of 100 Xueluo Crystals. However, relying solely on Beast God Blood would require 100 drops, which is equivalent to 10,000 Xueluo Crystals.

This is the cost; paying a hundredfold price reduces the invasion of malevolent energy and pain. After all, for a human body, finding someone capable of integrating even 10 Xueluo Crystals is a rarity that occurs only once every countless epochs.

'I wonder how much Beast God Blood I can apply for,' Luo Feng mused. 'These precious resources are tightly controlled. Many King-level powerhouses have to wait for auction opportunities to buy them. Money alone can't acquire them.'

At the same time, Luo Feng submitted his application.

A moment later—

'Greetings, Lord Luo Feng.' A fox-woman appeared on the screen, with fluffy ears and soft purple fur covering her body. She was likely from one of the 'Foxfolk' races within the human species.

'I need Beast God Blood,' Luo Feng stated directly.

'According to your quota, Lord Luo Feng can receive 50 drops of Beast God Blood for free.' The fox-woman smiled sweetly, though inwardly she was astonished. Cosmic Venerables and Cosmic Masters were not entitled to free resources; they had to exchange them for contributions to the race. Without contributions, one couldn't obtain racial resources.

While some promising King-level powerhouses might have free quotas, these quotas were usually extremely low—for instance, 10 Xueluo Crystals, which isn't even one drop of Beast God Blood.

She specialized in assisting high-ranking members of the race, and never before had anyone received 50 drops of Beast God Blood for free. To get so much for free indicated that with some payment, even more could be acquired!

'As expected of the legendary peerless genius. They say he is Daohe King, and if he is, then this isn't surprising at all,' the fox-woman mused to herself.

'Send me 30 drops,' Luo Feng said.

'Yes,' the fox-woman replied. 'Where should they be sent?'

'Here's the address.'

Luo Feng directly entered the detailed address of his residence in the Primal Secret Region. His current residence was within the territory of the Chaos City Lord, truly the core of the core of the Primal Secret Region.

'In the Primal Secret Region, then...' The fox-woman smiled. 'The 30 drops of Beast God Blood can be delivered today.'

'Mm,' Luo Feng nodded.

He then ended the communication.

'Free?' Luo Feng smiled faintly. 'It seems the race has a free quota of resources prepared for me. It's just that if I don't apply for it, and I'm not in a hurry to use it, the race won't proactively offer it... 50 drops of Beast God Blood, I hear it's rare to see such a large quantity even at auctions.'

'However, my Earthling original body has already integrated 82 Xueluo Crystals, so I only need 18 more drops of Beast God Blood. As for my Golden Horned Beast clone... it requires over 600 Xueluo Crystals, and relying entirely on Beast God Blood for that would be too difficult,' Luo Feng mused.

His Golden Horned Beast clone's life gene level had already surpassed 6000 times!

Moreover, once he became an Immortal God, possessing vast, high-level divine power as his foundation, he would naturally develop an exceptionally strong consciousness. A strong consciousness... to a certain extent, also aids 'willpower.' It's like how a physically strong person can easily have firm willpower, while a weak person on the verge of collapse usually has wavering willpower.

Clearly, the 'strength of one's soul' has a supplementary effect.

For Cosmic Masters, whose divine power is vast and whose souls merge with the universe, it can be said that each of their wills surpasses Luo Feng's! While their individual destinies are extraordinary, it is also due to their divine power. For an ordinary person to achieve willpower comparable to a Cosmic Master, it would indeed be impossible.

'My life level has already surpassed 6000 times. Future increases will be very small, so there's no rush,' Luo Feng thought to himself.

...

Just over three hours later.

Outside the palace where Luo Feng resided, a dedicated attendant delivered a spatial ring containing the Beast God Blood.

'You may go,' Luo Feng said.

'Yes,' the Immortal attendant respectfully replied.

Within the Chaos City Lord's territory, even errand runners and food deliverers were Immortal Gods, and they eagerly vied for these positions; without sufficient ability, one couldn't even enter. After all, here one could occasionally glimpse the great Chaos City Lord! Those who resided here were generally high-ranking individuals, such as the Chaos City Lord's disciples.

Returning to his inner world.

Luo Feng took out a silver briefcase from the spatial ring and easily opened it. Inside, 30 transparent crystal tubes were arranged, each containing a drop of dazzling golden light, emanating waves of surging aura. Faint roars of a Beast God seemed to echo in his ears.

'Beast God Blood.' Luo Feng carefully took out a crystal tube, gently removed the stopper, and poured its contents into his left palm.

At first glance, it was golden light, but upon closer inspection, one could faintly discern a drop of golden liquid within the light, with countless threads of law runes flowing within the liquid.

Splash!

The golden light dripped onto his palm and instantly permeated completely. Immediately, Luo Feng's entire body subtly glowed with a golden sheen. The Xueluo power latent within every cell of Luo Feng's body was already very potent, so this drop of Beast God Blood easily integrated, causing minimal reaction.

'Even the Black Warrior made Master Chaos City Lord happy. He said integrating Beast God Blood would definitely be easy.'

'I've already integrated 82 Xueluo Crystals, far exceeding the Black Warrior's limit of 10.' Luo Feng smiled. 'Absorbing Beast God Blood is as simple as drinking water.' He immediately took out another crystal tube, removed the stopper, and poured out the Beast God Blood.

Drop after drop, the Beast God Blood continuously integrated into Luo Feng's body.

A moment later.

All 18 drops of Beast God Blood were integrated, even more easily than Luo Feng had anticipated. However, when Luo Feng attempted the 19th drop... that drop of Beast God Blood rolled around in his palm, unable to integrate.

'It seems 100 is indeed the limit,' Luo Feng nodded to himself.

'The Xueluo power within my body has reached its limit.' Luo Feng's eyes gleamed. 'Xueluo power, activate!'

Boom!

A sudden burst of ancient and profound aura erupted from Luo Feng, as if emanating from the most ancient era of the universe's birth. His body grew taller and more robust, subtle scales emerging on every inch of his skin. Countless blood-red threads coiled around his entire body, and a massive, roaring Beast God head appeared on his chest, incredibly intricate, as if a true Beast God was roaring.

A faint golden halo enveloped his entire body.

'Hahaha... such immense power.' Luo Feng had already shed his combat armor, personally feeling the strength within his body.

'Hm? No, that's not right.'

Luo Feng's expression subtly changed.

'How is it just over 3000 times?' Luo Feng frowned in confusion. According to his deductions, once 100 Xueluo Crystals were integrated, there should be a hundredfold surge! For instance, the Golden Horned Beast's right claw initially surged a hundredfold (equivalent to 10 times its overall strength before activation), and only stopped increasing after reaching the ten-thousand-fold limit.

'I originally had 48 times, and now it's just over 3000 times, which is a little over 60 times my previous level.' Luo Feng's expression showed doubt.

The effect was diminished!

The Xueluo power, which had a near-perfect effect on the Golden Horned Beast, was weakened in his Earthling original body.

'Beast God Blood might be ineffective for other unique special lifeforms in the universe,' Luo Feng pondered. 'For example, a water-attributed special lifeform whose life gene level reaches several thousand times might not benefit from Beast God Blood. Beast God Blood originates from a natural Beast God of 'Metal and Space' attributes.'

'Could it be that this Beast God Blood... had an excellent effect on me early on, but its effectiveness gradually diminishes later?' Luo Feng speculated, though it was merely a guess.

Luo Feng then stopped overthinking it.

Regardless, the facts had proven that after his Earthling original body achieved perfection with 'Beast God Blood,' combined with his base 48-fold increase, his life gene level surpassed 3000 times.

'Once I obtain the next metal plate of the 《Nine Tribulations Secret Manual》, my life gene level can be further enhanced,' Luo Feng smiled and nodded. Although it wasn't the best-case scenario he had hoped for, having a life gene level of 3000 times still made Luo Feng very excited and pleased, as this was already the level of some top-tier special lifeforms in the universe.

'Fortunately, I have the 《Nine Tribulations Secret Manual》; otherwise, like billions of other lifeforms, my life gene level would at most increase by a hundredfold,' Luo Feng thought to himself.

The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual...

was the true reason Luo Feng could rival the most top-tier special lifeforms. Other things like Xueluo Crystals were merely icing on the cake.

...

Time flowed on.

Since both his Earthling original body and Golden Horned Beast clone had integrated Xueluo Crystals, Luo Feng continued his secluded cultivation. Apart from occasionally spending time with his family, everything was peaceful. Another hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, finally ushering in... the day his third clone would be born.

...

Inside his inner world.

On the vast grassland, the Golden Horned Beast's four hooves were as thick as celestial pillars. It looked up at the sky, while the Demon Killer Clan clone stood on its back, also gazing skyward. In the sky, an incredibly massive oval golden egg floated. When this oval golden egg was first conceived, its volume was small, but as it developed, it grew larger and larger, now reaching over ten thousand kilometers in height.

'Soon.'

'It's about to be born.'

'With such an enormous size, will it be an ocean the moment it's born?' Luo Feng's consciousness wondered. Until it was fully conceived, the life within the oval golden egg remained in a hazy, nascent state.

About eight hours later.

'Crack, crack, crack~~~' The colossal oval golden egg, over ten thousand kilometers tall, gradually developed fine cracks. This made Luo Feng's other three clones hold their breath in anticipation. With a final 'snap,' the eggshell completely shattered, and a giant, nearly ten thousand kilometers tall, stood in mid-air.

It was a naked, standing figure of perfect physical form, nearly ten thousand kilometers tall, with fair, crystalline skin, like carved jade. Subtle blood-red threads lurked beneath the surface, adding a touch of eerie allure.

'My, my third clone...'

'It's actually, actually a flesh-and-blood lifeform!!!' Luo Feng's Earthling original body and his other three clones were all stunned by the unexpected surprise.
