Devouring Stars, becoming Luo Feng's golden finger

“I have a total of 65 personal disciples, and over the countless years, more than half of them have already fallen.”

In the main hall, the towering giant clad in star battle robes slowly spoke.

“Among the thirty surviving disciples, twenty-six have reached the level of King, and four are at the peak of Marquis. They have all received rewards from me.”

“Although you are only a nominal disciple of mine, you should also receive a treasure.”

“However... your strength is still weak. Most of the treasures I have here require at least a World Lord level, or even becoming an Undying, to barely use.” Qianwu Country Lord's gaze landed on Luo Feng, and after pondering for a moment, he extended his palm and pointed forward.

Boundless and profound laws of space and water began to condense and combine, forming three light blue leaves.

“These are three disposable treasures condensed with my power. Once activated, the protection they form can guarantee that you will not be breached by attacks below the Universe Venerable level for at least sixty seconds.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng's eyes lit up as he looked at the three light blue leaves.

“The path you are currently taking is the law of gold and the law of space, and you have quite a deep understanding of both. However, I see that you have not yet combined these two laws, so I will bestow upon you a Golden Space Secret Manual.” As Qianwu Country Lord spoke, he extended a finger and gently touched Luo Feng, and countless complex information instantly flooded into Luo Feng's mind.

《Golden Ruin Manual》

“This 《Golden Ruin Manual》 is an ultimate technique created by a fallen Universe Venerable. It can be considered a peak secret technique at the Venerable level. What I'm giving you is only the basic section... After you have fully comprehended the basic section, come back to me to obtain the content below.” Qianwu Country Lord said.

“Thank you, Teacher, for bestowing the secret technique.” Luo Feng once again bowed and nodded respectfully.

He was also quite pleasantly surprised in his heart.

It just so happened that the 《Ripping Sky Golden Halberd Manual》 he was currently cultivating was also a gold-space combination secret technique. With this 《Golden Ruin Manual》 as nourishment, 'White' will definitely be able to optimize the 《Ripping Sky Golden Halberd Manual》 even more strongly!

It was, after all, a Universe Venerable-level secret manual.

As for it only being the basic section... Luo Feng didn't care about that. He wouldn't be able to cultivate even more profound secret manual content now. On the contrary, only with the basics could he cultivate.

“Alright, you may leave. The second stage of the Genius Battle will begin in a few months. During this time, if you have any questions about cultivation, you can contact me through the virtual universe.” After Qianwu Country Lord finished speaking, his figure disappeared.

When he bestowed the 《Golden Ruin Manual》 just now, Qianwu conveniently gave Luo Feng his virtual universe account.

Seeing that his cheap teacher had left, Luo Feng slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if this kind of super existence suppressed their own energy fluctuations, the aura of their life essence that faintly leaked out still made Luo Feng's heart palpitate and feel extremely pressured.

Luo Feng had no doubt that if his cheap teacher didn't suppress the emission of his own aura, he would probably have already been reduced to dust.

The difference was too great.

“Alas, how many years has it been since I've taken in a disciple.”

In a silent and boundless starry sky, the giant clad in star battle robes slowly exhaled, somewhat dazed.

Since successively falling three times and being resurrected three times by the City Lord of Chaos, owing the race and many friends heavy debts, he had not taken in any disciples for countless years, neither personal disciples nor nominal disciples.

Over the years, he had diligently cultivated batches of geniuses for the race.

Under his guidance, as well as that of the Undying Gods and World Lord powerhouses under his command, countless Undying Gods had been born over countless years, numbering over ten thousand, not to mention World Lords, Domain Lords, and Universe levels.

Among these Undying Gods, some had fallen, some had gone to other human territories to wander and settle down, and some had disappeared without a trace, their life or death unknown.

Of those who remained under his command, there were also more than ten thousand.

Looking at the 1008 universe countries, he had cultivated the most World Lords and Undyings in terms of quantity.

“If my newly accepted nominal disciple grows normally, it won't be difficult for him to become a Marquis-level powerhouse, and there's a high probability of him becoming a King-level powerhouse. I have to prepare at least one heavy treasure for him in advance.” Qianwu Country Lord pondered.

Becoming a member of the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Region, as long as they don't fall, most can become Marquis, and a very small number can become King.

In Qianwu Country Lord's eyes, Luo Feng's talent was even more outstanding than that of ordinary Primal Secret Region members, so as long as he didn't fall, becoming King was naturally a high probability.

As for becoming a Universe Venerable... that probability was too slim.

Even a monstrous genius who appeared once every tens of millions of eras only had a good chance, and they might not necessarily become a Universe Venerable.

Luo Feng returned to his solitary mountain.

Drilling into the quiet room hollowed out inside the solitary mountain, Luo Feng sat cross-legged, receiving the optimized version of the 《Ripping Sky Golden Halberd Manual》 transmitted to him by 'White'.

After incorporating the advantages of the basic section of the 《Golden Ruin Manual》, this optimized version of the 《Ripping Sky Golden Halberd Manual》, in terms of profundity and power alone, had reached the level of a peak secret technique among Undying-level secret techniques, infinitely approaching an ultimate secret technique.

Moreover, it was the most suitable for Luo Feng himself, capable of exerting the greatest power! This alone made it no weaker than those ultimate secret techniques created by others, and even stronger by a notch.

Undying secret technique levels are divided into five levels: unrated secret techniques, ordinary secret techniques, top-tier secret techniques, peak secret techniques, and ultimate secret techniques.

The gap between each level is very large.

Most Marquis-level Undying Gods spend countless years creating ordinary secret techniques, such as Huyanzhuo, whose 《Soul Seal》 is an ordinary secret technique, and the gold-space secret technique passed down by that Marquis Chiyang on behalf of his brother is also just an ordinary secret technique.

Huyanzhuo and that Marquis Chiyang's brother are both barely Marquis-level. What they lack compared to true Marquis powerhouses is not secret techniques, but a difference in the strength of their divine bodies.

As for top-tier secret techniques, they can generally only be created by King-level powerhouses. Extremely strong top-tier secret techniques can even allow ordinary King-level powerhouses to unleash the battle prowess of a King-level limit!

Further up, peak secret techniques, if created by a King-level limit powerhouse, and possessing a few ordinary heavy treasures, can be called King-level invincible, approaching or even comparable to the most ordinary Universe Venerables, i.e., the strength of True Yan King. As for ultimate secret techniques... it is very, very difficult for Undying-levels to create them. Those who can create them are all top-notch monstrous geniuses.

“The first layer, 'Golden Trace Ripping Sky', has an increased power ceiling, and the difficulty has also become higher.”

Luo Feng re-cultivated the optimized version of 'Golden Trace Ripping Sky', seemingly enlightened.

However, since it was the most basic first layer after all, the increase in difficulty was not exaggerated. With Luo Feng's current level of comprehension of the laws of gold and space, it only took a month to initially master it again.

Luo Feng extended a finger and gently swiped it across the void in front of him.

A golden thread condensed out of thin air.

Silently, the golden thread flashed and appeared behind Luo Feng.

With another flash, it came above Luo Feng.

Then, the golden thread only lightly touched the rock wall, and the rock wall, tens of meters thick, was easily cut open, as if passing through nothing.

It should be known that every grass, tree, and stone inside the Qianwu Secret Region is extremely tough and hard, not inferior to the hardness of B9-grade metal.

And Luo Feng's golden thread only contained a trace of negligible energy. If a normal Star-level Tier 9 used this bit of energy, they would probably only shake off some dust from the rock.

“The laws of gold and space have finally been initially combined successfully. This move can be considered to condense all my current comprehension of the gold-space laws.” Luo Feng smiled slightly.

After a moment of joy, Luo Feng continued to immerse himself in cultivation.

As his Earthling main body, his so-called cultivation was actually to absorb, combine, and organize the spatial insights transmitted by the Abyss Demon clone and the law of gold insights transmitted by the Golden Horned Beast main body, and then integrate them into his secret techniques.

During this time, when Luo Feng accumulated enough cultivation doubts, he would enter the virtual universe world and seek answers from his cheap teacher, 'Qianwu Country Lord'.

And Qianwu Country Lord's teaching level was also extremely high, easily presenting Luo Feng's doubts in the simplest way, causing Luo Feng to suddenly understand.

This was also greatly related to Luo Feng's own outstanding talent. If his talent was insufficient, no matter how thoroughly Qianwu Country Lord explained, he would still be confused.

Qianwu Country Lord was also very satisfied with this, teaching this kind of talented disciple who understood everything with just a hint, giving him a great sense of accomplishment.

Under these circumstances, the 《Nether Fiend Saber Technique》's Gold Fiend ultimate move, the 《Ripping Sky Golden Halberd Manual》's first layer 'Golden Trace Ripping Sky', and the 《Myriad Thread Stream》's Hundred Thread Stream were all steadily improving.

Time flew by, and soon it was September 5, 2070.

On this day, Luo Feng stopped cultivating, walked out of the quiet room, and naked, stepped into the hot spring dug out to the side.

The hot spring contained special treasures that could relieve physical and mental fatigue, making Luo Feng squint his eyes in comfort.

An hour later, Luo Feng got up from the hot spring, with the Black God Set and Mo Yun Teng on his body.

The latest novels are available at Six Nine Book Bar!

Returning to the quiet room, Luo Feng sat cross-legged, meditating peacefully for a day.

The next day, September 6th.

“Babata, connect to the virtual universe world.”

At the same time, in 1008 universe countries, one thousand geniuses from each universe country, a total of one million geniuses, also entered the virtual universe world on this day, and then teleported to their respective universe country continents.

Qianwu Continent, teleportation point.

Luo Feng's figure appeared here.

“Mr. Huang, please follow me.”

A Universe-level warrior walked over from the side, his tone respectful.

“Thank you.” Luo Feng nodded with a smile.

In a moment.

Luo Feng was taken to a square, where hundreds of people had already gathered.

There were men and women, from various races.

However, most of them looked relatively similar to Earthlings.

“Huang is here!” The people on the square noticed the movement here, and after seeing that it was Luo Feng, it immediately caused some commotion.

“It's him!”

Feng Lun, standing in the corner, noticed Luo Feng, his mouth twitching, and silently turned his back.

That day, that dazzling sun-like saber strike, that sentence 'You are very strong', made him think of it every day for the past three years, repeatedly attacking like a nightmare.

“In these three years, how many powerful enemies have I defeated in the reincarnation battles? My strength has improved several times over!” Feng Lun roared in his heart.

He didn't believe it!

This time,

He must withstand the opponent's full-powered saber strike and prove that he is not a weakling!

On the other side, a burly youth wearing rough cloth clothes, opening his chest, like a savage, also noticed Luo Feng. A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself,

“That's Huang? He doesn't look very eye-catching from the outside.”

However, Rong Jun had seen Luo Feng's battle data in the preliminary round and knew that his strength was very terrifying.

Especially the law of gold, which he comprehended much deeper than his law of earth.

“However, my saber technique is self-created, with great power, and can fully exert my law comprehension. Even if this Huang's law comprehension is deeper than mine, I will win!” Rong Jun's eyes were firm.

From the beginning of his participation in the Genius Battle, his goal has never changed—to win the first place in the Genius Battle!

Luo Feng glanced at everyone, didn't speak, but chose a place with few people and waited quietly.

As the number of people gathered reached one thousand.

An invisible pressure enveloped the entire square. This pressure cleverly avoided Luo Feng, causing the faces of the remaining 999 geniuses to turn pale.

An eight-meter-tall giant wearing scale armor and a helmet walked over from a distance, exuding an aura like a sea of blood and death.

It was Qianwu Country Lord's capable general, 'Thirteen'.

'Thirteen' glanced at Luo Feng and gave him a smile, the latter was slightly stunned, then reacted and returned a smile.

“I didn't expect that this Luo Feng could be accepted as a disciple by the Country Lord, it's really... unbelievable.” 'Thirteen' secretly marveled in his heart.

Although he was only a nominal disciple, if his strength continued to improve, becoming a personal disciple would probably only be a matter of time.

However, few people know about Luo Feng being accepted as a nominal disciple by Qianwu Country Lord. Only Qianwu's personal disciples and people like 'Thirteen' around him know about it.

'Thirteen' pondered that he should build a good relationship with the other party in the future, maybe he would be another King-level powerhouse in the future.

Among the disciples under the Country Lord, the weakest one who is still alive is an Undying at the peak of Marquis. He himself has cultivated for countless years and has been guided by the Country Lord many times, but he is only at the high-level of Marquis strength, and his potential has basically been exhausted.

Under these circumstances, 'Thirteen' put more thought not on cultivating and improving his strength, but on his own family.

Befriending Luo Feng would obviously be very beneficial to his family.

'Thirteen' restrained his thoughts and looked at the geniuses in front of him, his tone indifferent and majestic,

“The 1000 geniuses of Qianwu Universe Country, according to the Country Lord's order, I will lead the team this time.”

The armored giant's voice rumbled, and the pair of eyes shrouded under the helmet gave people infinite pressure, “You can call me 'Lord Thirteen', do you understand?”

“Understood!” Including Luo Feng, a thousand geniuses answered in unison.

It was just that the other geniuses were sweating profusely and trembling under the pressure of will, only Luo Feng was calm and natural.

Fortunately, no one had the mind to pay attention to this kind of trivial matter at this time.

“Depart!” 'Thirteen' said lightly.

A thousand geniuses followed behind him, flying towards the location of this genius battle.
