Luo Feng understood that success required starting with the Beast God Realm, and he also knew that his teacher, Sitting Mountain Guest, must have paid an enormous price to send him there, meaning the 'Beast God Realm' would be of immense benefit to him! And so... Luo Feng began another tour of the Beast God Realm, this time with extreme seriousness and meticulous attention.
First, on a plain, he learned two sets of amplification secret techniques from the secret scripture carvings left there.
One was a soul amplification secret technique named Nine Peaks Lock, which, when cultivated to its peak, could achieve a soul amplitude of 99.99, practically considered 100 times.
The other was a divine body amplification secret technique named Golden Beast God, which could also reach 100 times at its ultimate level.
Luo Feng had expected his cultivation to be arduous, but unexpectedly, the Golden Beast God flowed through him seamlessly, reaching its most perfect state in just three days! Whether it was the Demon Killer Clone, his Earthling Primal Being, the Deep Sea Clone, or the Horned Beast Clone, all could execute this divine body amplification secret technique.
He mused that the speed was likely due to his divine body being at the perfect life gene level!
As for Nine Peaks Lock, it demanded the ultimate control over Void God Power, requiring exceptionally high levels of willpower and consciousness... Fortunately, Luo Feng's willpower and consciousness were already at the level of a Universe Overlord! And Universe Overlords had almost universally achieved perfection in soul amplification, making cultivation relatively easy for him.
It took over a month, but he managed to cultivate Nine Peaks Lock to perfection as well.
"My Void God Power, willpower, and consciousness... all are at the Universe Overlord level; cultivation is this easy," Luo Feng sighed inwardly. This was the difference that strength made; difficulty varied. If he were a Planetary Immortal, perhaps not one in thousands of Planetary Immortals could ever bring Nine Peaks Lock to its pinnacle.
After mastering both Nine Peaks Lock and Golden Beast God—these two amplification secret techniques—in just over a month, Luo Feng continued his exploration of the entire Beast God Realm.
The Beast God Realm contained sixty-four Beast God statues.
The eight Innate Beast Gods each had eight corresponding statues.
There were tens of thousands of secret techniques and ultimate skills: thirty-six for Universe Masters' ultimate techniques, a number of Universe Master peak techniques, over three thousand Universe Venerable ultimate techniques, and tens of thousands of Universe Venerable peak techniques. In addition, there were countless inscriptions that seemed randomly placed.
He could not understand most of the ultimate skills; only the most rudimentary secret techniques offered the slightest glimmer of comprehension.
After spending more than half a year studying and researching these ultimate skills, Luo Feng arrived before one of the statues of the Golden Beast God and gazed up at it intently.
"Those ultimate skills are useless to me."
"They were created by other experts. Even if I learn them, they are optimized for others, and their might would be significantly weaker in my hands," Luo Feng observed the statue. "But many secret techniques mention comprehension derived from studying the Beast God statues. Even Universe Masters study these Beast God statues!"
"The most valuable assets in the entire Beast God Realm are these sixty-four Beast God statues!"
Luo Feng stared.
On the peak of one mountain in the Beast God Realm.
The Ancestor stood leisurely, overlooking Luo Feng standing before a statue of the Golden Beast God in the vast forest far below, and murmured, "He has been standing before the Beast God statue for over three full years now. It seems he has realized... the Beast God statues are the most precious things. Yes, every peerless genius and supreme expert from our Star Beast Alliance qualified to enter understands this... the Beast God statues are the key!"
"Many realize this."
"But those who manage to derive ultimate skills from them, especially Universe Master ultimate skills, are extremely few. Moreover, every single one who deduced a Universe Master ultimate skill was already a Universe Master," the Ancestor said calmly.
He knew clearly.
The other secret techniques in the Beast God Realm, while seemingly precious, were nothing substantial.
The sixty-four Beast God statues were the priceless treasures!
Luo Feng spent between a little over a year and a full eight years comprehending the eight statues of the Golden Beast God. The time spent on the statues of the Thunder Beast God, Light Beast God, and others was much shorter, as he was not following their paths.
All sixty-four Beast God statues consumed a total of fifty-two years.
"The more I look, the more... perfect they appear!"
"The Golden Beast God, eight statues." Luo Feng felt that after studying the eight statues of the Golden Beast God, all its moods—fury, joy, serenity, roar, madness—became intrinsically familiar. Even with his eyes closed, he felt as if he had witnessed the Innate Beast God 'Golden Beast God' himself.
"To be missing even one statue feels incomplete," Luo Feng nodded internally.
In fact, just looking at the sixty-four statues...
Any expert would sense that the sixty-four statues were meant to be one integrated whole! The secret inscriptions representing the ultimate path of the universe across all sixty-four statues felt capable of combining into a single entity... capable of forming a complete, supreme ultimate skill set!
It was like seeing a man and a woman, and instantly knowing they were meant to be husband and wife.
The sixty-four statues, when observed with a calm heart, felt like a singular entity!
"Every expert who comes to the Beast God Realm through the Star Beast Alliance probably senses this, but no one has managed to comprehend this ultimate secret technique set," Luo Feng mused. This was because some of the thirty-six most powerful ultimate techniques in the Beast God Realm were derived from comprehending the 'Golden Beast God,' some from the 'Thunder Beast God,' and occasionally, those derived from two Beast Gods showed corresponding pressure levels in the secret scripture carvings.
Clearly, the level of those secret techniques was similar!
If a supreme ultimate skill created by combining the eight statues of the eight Beast Gods were formed, it should absolutely surpass all other secret techniques.
After mastering two amplification secret techniques and researching the Beast God statues, Luo Feng began to study himself.
"To succeed."
"One relies on the Beast God Realm."
"Two relies on what is unique about myself."
"Three relies on time."
"I have thoroughly understood the Beast God Realm once. As for myself... what is truly unique, what even the supreme experts of the Star Beast Alliance throughout history (except the Ancestor) couldn't match, must be the Nine Tribulations Secret Tome, the Star Tower, the innate secret technique I Am the Universe, and the Endless Deep Sea." Luo Feng pondered.
The Nine Tribulations Secret Tome was unique in the universe.
The Star Tower was the supreme ultimate treasure of the universe. The probability of any being in the Star Beast Alliance, other than the Ancestor, possessing an ultimate supreme treasure was likely extremely low; at least, Luo Feng had never heard of it.
The innate secret technique I Am the Universe was a gift bestowed by the universe after achieving the perfect life gene level. Many heaven-defying, unique special lives only reached thousands of times the life gene level. Tens of thousands of times was rare. How much rarer to reach perfection? Star Beasts were not special lives... unless they had a method similar to the Nine Tribulations Secret Tome, reaching this level would be difficult.
The Endless Deep Sea represented nearly infinite divine power, but regrettably, since he was in another universe, he couldn't absorb the divine power of the Endless Deep Sea.
He decided to act.
In the original universe, Luo Feng’s Earthling Primal Being first went to the Star Tower, studying the countless stars, the Pillar of Heaven, and the secret inscriptions carved upon them. Alas... they felt even more profound than the Universe Master ultimate techniques in the Beast God Realm; he couldn't understand them at all.
Next, he meticulously studied the contents of the Nine Tribulations Secret Tome. This was purely a secret technique for improving the life gene level, and in terms of profundity, it rivaled the secret inscriptions on the Star Tower, far exceeding Universe Master ultimate techniques. He similarly could not grasp its mysteries, having to proceed step-by-step in cultivation.
Finally, he returned to the Endless Deep Sea and began executing the innate secret technique I Am the Universe.
None of Luo Feng's other clones could use I Am the Universe, unless an enemy entered his God Kingdom, where the 'Endless Deep Sea' within the God Kingdom could utilize it!
"Innate secret technique, I Am the Universe!"
Rumble~~~~
Instantly, the endless divine power sea burned, transforming into boundless energy, and directly above the Endless Deep Sea, a massive, elliptical sphere spanning ten billion kilometers in diameter appeared—a miniature universe! "This is a universe?"
"A miniature universe?"
Luo Feng’s consciousness merged into this miniature universe, feeling indescribably thrilled and excited.
Since obtaining the innate secret technique I Am the Universe, this was the first time he had deployed it... When driven by the supremely profound innate secret technique imprinted in his consciousness, the consumption rate of divine power was terrifyingly high. Almost immediately upon activation, the divine body of one Horned Beast was completely depleted.
But the Endless Deep Sea was vast enough!
"Miniature universe."
A vast cosmos, ten billion kilometers in diameter, encompassing everything.
In this universe of boundless void, chaotic currents faintly swirled, and the miniature universe itself was Luo Feng!
"How profound."
"Absolute dominion, absolute control." The moment he transformed into a miniature universe, Luo Feng understood he could separate parts of his divine body to battle within this universe... With the pressure of the miniature universe, his strength could be greatly enhanced, while the opponent would be heavily suppressed.
This was merely an incidental ability.
The strongest technique was "Universe Explosion!" Luo Feng marveled; with a mere thought, he could cause this miniature universe to instantly collapse into a 'Universe Great Destruction'! The might was incomprehensible.
"What a profound secret technique."
"To possess such a heaven-defying innate secret technique, transforming into a miniature universe," Luo Feng marveled, and simultaneously, his consciousness began to carefully study the entire miniature universe.
The thin membrane of the giant elliptical sphere, the 'miniature universe,' was formed by countless energy strands connected by lines of law, forming a massive diagram of law secret inscriptions, which then converted into chaotic currents. These chaotic currents circled the giant inscription diagram to condense the membrane. Other chaotic currents scattered throughout the miniature universe.
The giant diagram of law secret inscriptions... this was what Luo Feng manifested based on the innate secret technique.
He didn't understand it at all, and this was the first time he had seen this diagram of law secret inscriptions!
This diagram of law secret inscriptions was shaped like an elliptical sphere, constructed from billions of interconnected and interwoven lines of law, immensely complex. This set of law secret inscriptions... was the operational rule for the miniature universe, and the energy consumed by Luo Feng's divine power supplied the entire miniature universe’s consumption. Strictly speaking, this was not a true universe.
A true universe cycles its energy, theoretically never depleting it.
But Luo Feng's energy was continuously draining, which meant this set of 'law secret inscriptions' must be an extremely simplified initial inscription diagram of the true operating rules of the original universe. Yet, even so, it left Luo Feng speechless.
"Too... man..." Luo Feng was completely shaken by this inscription diagram.
This diagram held a soul-stirring beauty.
It was more shocking than any ultimate secret technique, even more beautiful than the secret inscriptions on those Beast God statues.
