The Seventh Volume: Theft and Counter-Theft

The merchants in Rain Ripple City are mainly located in the Inner City. A short while after Luo Feng left his cave abode, he arrived at a nearby merchant's place.

The store's interior space is quite spacious, with Independent Space, each displaying the remains of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform.

"This distinguished guest."

The waiter proactively approached.

"Let me take a look first." Luo Feng wasn't in a hurry to buy; he planned to explore the entire city before making a purchase.

The waiter smiled and said, "Esteemed guest, our family specializes in dealing in 'Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform remains.' These remains can be used for cultivation and enlightenment. We also have some large remains that can be used for refining artifacts, medicines, body tempering, and even for refining complete Primal Chaos Bloodline."

"There are quite a lot of remains." Luo Feng looked at the densely packed Independent Space, with more than ten servants waiting in various places, and the formation was also in operation.

"We have a total of 11,341 kinds of remains, all of which are Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform," the attendant continued. "Our family has collected at least 70% of the low-level Chaos Origin races from the Nine Rivers Holy World."

Luo Feng's 'Imitation Life-Death Eye' between his eyebrows had opened, and he was carefully examining each piece of debris.

The Xing Zhe of Rain Ripple City used different methods of observation. As long as they didn't break the 'Independent Space' to grab the remains, the attendants wouldn't mind how they observed them.

"The 'Black Cloud Sky-Devouring Beast,' an Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform, is relatively weak, possessing only the strength of God Emperor Early-Stage." Luo Feng observed.

Here, twelve parts of the Black Cloud Sky-Devouring Beast are displayed for sale.

Items like a scale, Root Bone, or a bottle of blood are suitable for meditation and cultivation, and each item costs between 100 and 500 Primal Chaos Crystal.

The price of each of the three materials—a massive, complete claw, a large tendon running through the entire body, and a refined, complete bloodline—is 20,000 Primal Chaos Crystal.

The most precious part is its complete Life Core, which requires 100,000 Primal Chaos Crystal.

"This Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform has an intact Life Core?" Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.

Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform possess Life Core. Just as the Source World has Origin Source Land, this Life Core is like the primordial core of an 'innate primordial life form.' Once destroyed, they will perish, which is also the most common way to kill them.

It's quite remarkable that you can still kill someone while preserving their Life Core.

"Such an Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform, dismantled and sold off." Luo Feng sighed inwardly, its bloodline refined, used for medicine, crafted into weapons... for various purposes.

However, this is quite normal. Xing Zhe are groping in the dark, and the best way to break free from the Cage is to study these 'Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform' that have already broken free from the Cage.

Luo Feng strolled around from shop to shop, and no matter which shop he went to, the waiters were very enthusiastic because Luo Feng's life force had reached the God Emperor Early-Stage.

"Weapon Secret Treasure." Luo Feng also saw the prices of various secret treasures.

Those secret treasures for the God Emperor Early-Stage are generally used by those at the God King Ultimate Realm! Luo Feng's casual strike is far more powerful than those secret treasures. The price of a secret treasure usually starts at 2000 Primal Chaos Crystal.

God Emperor Mid-Stage, God Emperor Late-Stage, God Emperor Completion. The prices of Weapon Secret Treasure at different levels naturally skyrocketed.

Naturally Innate Treasure even higher prices.

"So I'm quite wealthy after all." Luo Feng was secretly surprised when he saw the price of the Innate Treasure, realizing how expensive the Innate Treasure 'Palm World' was. Of course, this treasure was used to protect the Blade River Sect, and his own strength was still too weak to bring it in.

"In every city of the Nine Rivers Holy World, there is killing, looting, and theft," a servant said. "This spatial treasure, 'Illusory World Maze,' can be integrated into the body. Treasures are hidden inside, and very few in the Nine Rivers Holy World can steal it. Almost all the powerful God Emperors have one."

"The Illusory World Maze?" Luo Feng looked at the treasure. "What's the price?"

"Not expensive, 100,000 Primal Chaos Crystal per piece. The price is the same throughout the entire Nine Rivers Holy World," the waiter said with a smile.

Luo Feng turned and left.

Even God Emperors with a bit more experience could afford it, but Luo Feng had just arrived in the Nine Rivers Holy World, and the 100,000 Primal Chaos Crystal he possessed were lent to him by Emperor Qing. Why would he use them to buy a spatial storage item just to prevent theft?

"There are also many Auxiliary Cultivation Treasure."

Luo Feng looked at the various rare delicacies.

The rare treasures of the Nine Rivers Holy World are all essences extracted from the bodies of naturally Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform. Consuming them is said to aid cultivation, with effects far surpassing those of Primal Chaos Crystal! However, the better the treasure, the higher its price.

"This treasure is called the 'Formless Divine Weapon.' It can be inscribed with any kind of secret rune. As long as the rune is inscribed accurately, it can immediately imitate any kind of treasure. With it, you can try to inscribe one treasure after another, and change them at any time," the attendant said enthusiastically. "It is suitable for both combat and verifying cultivation insights."

Luo Feng was intrigued.

You can try to record your own insights into the Star Tower and the deep secret patterns of the Life-Death Eye.

"What's the price?" Luo Feng asked.

"50 million Primal Chaos Crystal per share." The waiter grinned and announced a number that made Luo Feng's heart tremble.

"It's more expensive than many Innate Treasure," Luo Feng couldn't help but say. "Many God Emperor Completion-Level treasures only cost a few million Primal Chaos Crystal. This price could buy a whole set of God Emperor Completion-Level treasures."

The waiter smiled and said, "Many of those powerful God Emperors possess 'World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform Remains.' They comprehend the mysteries of these remains and imprint them into their Formless Divine Weapon. This allows them to verify their understanding. This is far superior to a set of God Emperor Completion-Level secret treasures."

Luo Feng sighed inwardly.

There are too many temptations.

Luo Feng saw many rare and precious items, including remnants of Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform suitable for the combination of life, destruction, and even birth and death, as well as some suitable secret treasures! But he was too poor.

"No rush. We'll just explore Rain Ripple City on the first day and make our move on the second." Luo Feng was very patient; one more day wouldn't make a difference.

He discovered that famous treasures like the "Formless Divine Weapon" and the "Illusory World Maze" had uniform prices across many merchants. However, for items like remains, prices varied among different merchants, with some willing to sell at lower prices.

Luo Feng needed to consider how to buy enough cultivation items suitable for him at a lower price.

"Poor, so poor."

"Don't even mention 100,000 Primal Chaos Crystal. Even 100 million Primal Chaos Crystal wouldn't be enough." Luo Feng flew through Rain Ripple City. Looking around, he saw a large number of Xing Zhe, but Luo Feng didn't notice a short figure in the distance.

The short figure, seeing Luo Feng in the distance, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Luo Feng? A newly arrived God Emperor Early-Stage?" The short figure's mind stirred, and he made his move.

Luo Feng flew over the Inner City, an area teeming with powerful figures. There were hundreds of elders who maintained the defense system of Rain Ripple City. The operation of these various defense systems put pressure on Luo Feng.

"Buzz." It was as if a gust of wind blew past Luo Feng.

"What's going on?" Luo Feng was taken aback.

It seemed to be a gust of wind.

But Luo Feng had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"It seems like someone attacked me, but it also seems like no one did." Luo Feng himself wasn't sure. He frowned slightly and looked around, becoming more vigilant and wary.

The short figure in the distance was quite surprised. "This newcomer doesn't seem like a traditional Enlightenment Seeker. He has the feel of a Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform, having cultivated his body into a World Body, with a hidden world within him, and all the treasures hidden in that world?"

While Xing Zhe of the Primal Chaos Bloodline may possess even greater explosive power and formidable physical strength, their control over themselves is not as perfect.

Luo Feng's body felt like a complete and vast world to him. Although his Secret Method techniques swept over Luo Feng's entire body while remaining concealed, they could not forcibly penetrate into this world.

"You think you can hide in the world and I can't do anything about it?" The short figure chuckled coldly, opened his mouth, and a Blood-colored Bug flew out.

"Good darling, go to his world and take all the treasures." The short figure controlled the Blood-colored Bug with a thought and attacked again.

The attempt to stealthily succeeded.

Then, let's steal it forcefully!

"Call."

The Blood-colored Bug vanished instantly, ignoring Luo Feng's physical body, and burrowed into Luo Feng's inner world.

"Um?"

Luo Feng, who was on high alert in the distance, immediately noticed it.

He selected five of the nine forms of life forms of the Primal Chaos Bloodline Creature that he had cultivated in his home Origin Continent! These were also the five clones he used to navigate the Nine Rivers Holy World and deal with various dangerous situations.

What he normally manifests is his 'World Clone', one of his five avatars.

This clone is thick-skinned, incredibly strong, and possesses remarkable vitality, capable of withstanding numerous adverse conditions. This clone contains an inner world! It is most similar to the original 'World Lifeform,' and its power increases with the amount of energy it possesses.

Therefore, the World Clone has a hundred times the Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve, while the energy reserves of the other four clones are not very high.

"Swoosh!" An invisible fluctuation instantly entered the inner world, which naturally sensed it.

The stronger the World Clone, the more stable the inner world becomes.

"It's quite stable, but unfortunately, my treasure is best at devouring space." The Blood-colored Bug suddenly unleashed a wave of energy, sweeping across the entire inner world, aiming to seize all the treasures within.

Inside his inner world, four other clones were sitting cross-legged. Each of these clones resembled Luo Feng, only their robes were different colors.

"Hmph." The Heaven-Earth Clone let out a cold snort, and instantly the Heaven-Earth Clone completely dispersed, merging with the entire inner world.

Unite with heaven and earth!

The world membrane is like the flesh and skin of the Heaven-Earth Clone, and the mystery of the Heaven-Earth Clone is perfectly integrated with the celestial world, and its power increases dramatically.

"This..." The Blood-colored Bug felt the already terrifying inner world suddenly become more than ten times stronger in pressure and binding force. Before, it felt like it was in flowing water, able to move freely. But now it felt like it was stuck in glue, completely bound to it.

"His inner world has no treasures either?" The Blood-colored Bug used Secret Method to sweep through the entire inner world, only to find that it was all for naught.

"Trying to steal?" The remaining three clones in his inner world all stared at him.

Those five thousand Primal Chaos Crystal were carried by the Time Clone! The Time Clone exists simultaneously in the past, present, and future! The five thousand Primal Chaos Crystal are currently stored in the future of the Time Clone.

"These five thousand Primal Chaos Crystal are hidden in my inner world, kept by my Time Clone. Moreover, they are hidden on the 'future body' of the Time Clone. My inner world is also guarded by my 'Heaven-Earth Clone.' If they are still stolen even so, I have nothing to say. Consider it tuition." Luo Feng had been warned beforehand, so he was naturally very careful and vigilant.

"Who said he was a traditional Enlightenment Seeker?" Seeing that things were not going well, the Blood-colored Bug instantly disappeared.

Bang!

It crashed headfirst into the membrane wall of the inner world, but failed to break free.

After the inner world and the Heaven-Earth Clone united, the membrane of the world became more than ten times stronger.

"Oh no, we can get in, but we can't get out!" The Blood-colored Bug immediately realized something was wrong!
