As Luo Feng set off for the God King Valley… deep within the distant Primitive Universe, in the human territory, within the Secret Realm of Origin.
“Whoosh~” The boundless Gloomy Sea surged ceaselessly.
Vast beyond measure!
After the long passage of over eight million years, the entire volume of the Endless Gloomy Sea had expanded monumentally compared to the time when the Human Faction and the Coalition Faction clashed in war! Stationed within the Secret Realm of Origin, the sight of the Endless Gloomy Sea left every powerhouse who beheld it awestruck and filled with amazement.
“This is the Endless Gloomy Sea!”
“The Endless Gloomy Sea? One of the avatars of the legendary Great Galaxy Lord. I heard that during the war, nearly a thousand Universe Masters from the Coalition Faction attacked together and still couldn't touch the Galaxy Lord!” “Just how… immense is this?”
“With a divine body this size, how long would it take to burn through all its divine power, even without stopping?” On a spacecraft flying high above the Gloomy Sea, the Immortals and Sector Lords aboard gazed out at the endless expanse, their hearts pounding with excitement.
Over these eight million years, the status of humanity in the Primitive Universe had only risen higher!
This was because minor frictions and skirmishes between the Human Faction and the Coalition Faction never ceased! A constant stream of Sector Lords, Immortals, and Venerables frequently engaged in slaughter, with occasional clashes between Universe Masters! Thus, news of the past war had long since spread throughout the human race, filling their Sector Lords and Immortals with endless fighting spirit and confidence.
Moreover, under the deliberate guidance of the Human Faction…
Each new generation of rising Sector Lords and Immortals in the human race remembered the names of “City Lord of Chaos” and the “Galaxy Lord.” Perhaps these Sector Lords and Immortals didn't fully grasp what a Universe's Strongest Being was, but they understood one thing: the most crucial and powerful pillars of the entire human race were the City Lord of Chaos and the Galaxy Lord.
These two were the very columns supporting the heavens of the human race!
“Just how large is this avatar of the great Galaxy Lord?”
“The Endless Gloomy Sea is rumored to be continuously expanding. I heard the news back then that the diameter of the Endless Gloomy Sea surpassed a trillion kilometers. It must be far larger now.”
Whispers filled the air.
A lean man with golden python scales covering his head, who piloted the spacecraft, spoke up: “The Galaxy Lord’s Endless Gloomy Sea avatar now exceeds two light-years in diameter!”
“Two light-years?”
“Wow, what a massive divine body.” “Back then, nearly a thousand Universe Masters couldn't handle the Galaxy Lord; now, the Galaxy Lord must be invincible.” “We’re saved.” The Sector Lords and Immortals trembled with awe and worship.
The spacecraft sailed over the Endless Gloomy Sea, which remained as tranquil as ever.
After all, the human race’s efforts in nurturing geniuses had increased significantly, especially by adopting methods from the ancient civilization. This often resulted in Sector Lords and Immortals being sent to the Secret Realm of Origin for refinement and tempering, or being dispatched to Chaos City for cultivation.
In short, anyone passing over the Endless Gloomy Sea would inevitably marvel at it.
At this moment…
Deep within the central region of the Endless Gloomy Sea, there existed a vacuum zone spanning nearly ten billion kilometers in diameter. Not a single drop of the Gloomy Sea’s water entered this space, appearing like a colossal bubble suspended at the very heart of the vast ocean. And within this vacuum, an immense quantity of items floated.
Various metals, minerals, soil, flesh…
Ten billion kilometers in diameter—what an enormous area?
Yet, this vacuum zone was almost completely filled. It could be said that everything discoverable in the Primitive Universe was present: ordinary matter like planets, stars, neutron stars, black holes, and mysteries like special life fruits, Immortal Trees, and so on. Even parts of the corpses of billions of lives from myriad races, including large quantities of specialized life forms, dead or alive.
Matter from the Primitive Universe, the Sea of Chaos, and even the Jin World!
Billions of metals! Billions of special energy bodies! Billions of pieces of flesh! Billions of plants! All manner of substances! Even all living beings!
From single-celled organisms, up to the corpses of Universe Masters and True Gods! Even a single drop of divine blood expelled from the “White Wing” of the Wu Shield Wing was preserved here.
“Talent Secret Art: Creation!” He once again unleashed his innate talent secret art.
Instantly, the vacuum area within the Endless Gloomy Sea fell under the influence of a strange domain. This peculiar domain could not be acquired through cultivation; it was purely a field naturally carried by the execution of the talent secret art, "Creation." Within this strange domain, everything material would be rapidly analyzed, seeking to dissect its source of life.
“So many metals, plants, and so on from the Jin World, especially the abundant blood and scales of True Gods—I hope for a great harvest this time!” Luo Feng was intensely expectant.
He had previously hit a bottleneck along the path of divine power.
The main issue was the scarcity of True God life forms that he could analyze! Although he possessed one drop of powerful divine blood, that drop was far too high-level, and he couldn't decipher it.
Silently.
Those suspended drops of blood, flakes of scales, and strands of hair were continuously analyzed down to the most fundamental structural components of life, all laid bare before Luo Feng.
Complex!
As profound as the mysteries of the Rhino Emperor Game, far surpassing any Rhino Emperor Game Luo Feng had studied. After all, this was the composition of a True God’s life! Fortunately, Luo Feng didn't need to study it completely; his goal was to find the distinction between the life structures of a “True God” and a “Universe Master,” and then modify his own life structure to elevate his genes.
“Hahahaha…”
“So much True God blood, scales, and hair—this is exhilarating.”
In an instant, Luo Feng discovered billions of potential concepts, yet it was destined that every single one of these billions of concepts would likely be wrong.
While the Endless Gloomy Sea was undergoing analysis, in the Jin World, the “Jiaodragon Beast” hidden within the Inheritance Space’s “Cultivation Space,” operating under ten-thousand-times time acceleration, was attempting something.
“Divine Power, Decompose.” A thought flickered in the mind of Jiao-Dragon Luo Feng.
Whoosh~
Suddenly, one of the Jiaodragon Beast's claws disintegrated into a mass of divine power suspended around it.
“Life, Recombine!” The life composition within the divine power was immediately and artificially controlled and modified by Luo Feng, akin to genetic modification! However, Luo Feng’s method was clearly higher-level; he was aiming to break past his limits by modifying the most fundamental components! Success would allow him to directly become a powerful True God.
Bang! With a loud explosion, the divine power rapidly condensed, restoring its original life structure. The previous perfect gene represented an extremely flawless and stable life structure; surpassing it was incredibly difficult.
The divine power recombination failed!
“Attempt again!”
Having received this large influx of True God blood, scales, and hair sent from the Jin World, Luo Feng now possessed numerous ideas and naturally needed to try repeatedly to probe the mysteries of life.
“Failure!”
“Failure!”
“Recombination failed!”
Each failure brought a new piece of experience.
All great paths led to the same destination. The origin of life was also one form of the origin of universal evolution, containing ultimate mysteries. This progression along the divine power route was also immensely beneficial to Luo Feng’s secret art creation and other endeavors.
Time flowed, and a hundred and sixty years passed in the blink of an eye within the Cultivation Space operating under ten-thousand-times acceleration.
“I will succeed.”
“I have a feeling; I’m close. Last time, I was just short.”
“Life, Recombine!” The coiled Jiaodragon Beast transformed its claw into a majestic surge of divine power. The power was rapidly changing internally; its most fundamental structure was undergoing transformation.
Hummm~
Everything paused.
Luo Feng ceased his control. Finally, it stopped. If it failed, the divine power whose origin had been altered would quickly decompose and restore itself. If it remained stable, it signaled potential success, although even if stable, the new life origin structure might not necessarily surpass the perfect limit; it could even decline, perhaps stabilizing at 9,800 times life genes. “Stable!” Luo Feng rejoiced.
“Divine power level…” Luo Feng sensed carefully.
This was a new divine power, powerful and carrying an extreme sharpness, as if constantly poised to attack.
“16,000 times!” Luo Feng made a rough immediate judgment.
“Success!” Luo Feng erupted in delight. “Breaking through the bottleneck of the perfect gene!”
If he had continued studying the Law Masters or countless other materials, perhaps he could have broken through, but it would have been too difficult. The life origin of a True God was clearly superior, granting Luo Feng countless ideas and countless paths that had kept him at a bottleneck for over eight million epochs. Now, with a sufficient supply of True God blood, scales, and hair, he broke through in just over a hundred years.
“Divine Body, Recombine!” Jiao-Dragon Luo Feng roared lowly.
Crack!
The entire Jiaodragon Beast disintegrated into a vast torrent of divine power, which rapidly condensed and reformed back into a Jiaodragon Beast. It looked identical, but its aura was clearly much stronger.
“Divine Body, Recombine!” In the Tomb-Guardian Ship, Luo Feng’s Earthling True Self instantly recombined its divine body. Its life gene level instantly soared to 16,000 times, the quality improving, but the divine body mass decreased; the Earthling True Self’s divine body was left with only a little over 60%.
“Replenish.”
The Jiaodragon Beast’s divine power quickly flowed over, allowing the Earthling True Self to rapidly recover to 100% divine body status.
“This feeling… truly marvelous.” Luo Feng showed joy. He could feel the divine body eager to move, and even his distant Divine Kingdom was stirring, because the strengthening of the divine body meant it could accommodate an even stronger Divine Kingdom! Once the Divine Kingdom expanded again, it would immediately evolve into a Miniature Universe.
This meant…
Luo Feng could cause his Divine Kingdom to evolve into a Miniature Universe at any moment if he wished. Following that, his divine body would undergo a hundredfold leap, entering the True God stage!
However, at the 16,000 times life gene level, he was far from his desired standard. Moreover, this level offered little actual aid to his strength, as in the divine power path, the third stage of the divine body only began at 30,000 times, which allowed for a tenfold surge in divine body height! Currently, Luo Feng couldn't even experience that jump in divine body height.
“Haha, having only just obtained these True God scales, blood, etc., I’ve already reached 16,000 times…” Luo Feng was filled with confidence.
Although over a hundred years had passed in the Cultivation Space.
In reality, for Luo Feng traveling toward the God King Valley aboard the Tomb-Guardian Ship, only four days had passed in the outside world! Luo Feng still required over a month to reach the distant God King Valley.
A month and a half later.
Piloting the silver warship, Luo Feng finally saw the vast continent at the center of that endless ocean—the God King Valley lay upon that continent.
“We’ve arrived.” Luo Feng temporarily shifted his focus away from cultivation, as what lay ahead was an immensely perilous titled mission.
