Through a spatial passage, Wang Cheng emerged from the Sacrificial Tower. The instant his feet touched the ground, he made a move with a thought.
Whoosh!
Wang Cheng's body vanished in an instant, and he once again experienced the sensation of his consciousness traveling through endless space.
The next moment, back on Earth, inside Wang Cheng's World Ring—
"Hm?"
Wang Cheng's fingers twitched slightly. Soon, he opened his eyes.
"I'm back!"
Feeling the vast plains around him, Wang Cheng felt a surge of joy.
Of the three Opportunity Draws he had just made, each treasure had been better than the last. First came the Domain Lord level bloodline potion, then the Large World Ring, and the third prize was even more remarkable.
Wang Cheng focused his mind. Soon, he saw that three new items had appeared in the space linked to his consciousness.
Two Force weapons shaped like claws, and a Space Ring!
With a thought, Wang Cheng brought the two Force weapons and the Space Ring before him.
Like a World Ring, a Space Ring was a treasure that could store items. Only beings who had mastered the Space Law could make one.
Generally speaking, however, a Space Ring was nowhere near as precious as a World Ring, because the spaces contained within them were in entirely different leagues.
A Space Ring was usually described by how many cubic units of space it held. But even the smallest World Ring contained an entire world!
"This time, I really made a killing!" Wang Cheng took everything out of the Space Ring. As he looked at the many manuals and the Inheritance Crystal Ball, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
"It's time to change my training plan!" Looking over the manuals, Wang Cheng's eyes took on a thoughtful expression.
Before long, Wang Cheng had selected several manuals to train in next.
Sky Thunder Storm was a Combat Secret Method containing the Lightning Law. Using it to comprehend the Lightning Law would undoubtedly let him progress much faster than before.
Wind God Shadow was a Combat Secret Method containing the Wind Law. Although he had already mastered the Lightning Law, Wang Cheng didn't mind studying the Wind Law as well. Too much knowledge could be hard to digest, but thanks to his Innate Talent, Clone Technique, that wouldn't be a problem for him.
Eternal Void was a Time Secret Method. The two High-level Laws of time and space were essential subjects of study. There was no need to say more.
Demonic Body was a Body Amplitude Secret Method similar to Nine Heavens Thunder Blade. Once he mastered it, his Body Force Generation could easily reach 100.
"Too bad there's no secret method for amplifying combat power!" Wang Cheng sighed softly.
There were several types of secret methods that could boost one's strength: those based on Laws, those that amplified Body Force Generation, and finally those that directly amplified combat power—for example, the Kinkaku Giant Beast's Inheritance Secret Technique, Myriad Manifestations!
Once mastered, Myriad Manifestations could amplify combat power by a full thirty-six times!
And this was a pure increase in combat power, which could be multiplied by Law amplification and Body Amplitude!
Secret manuals that directly amplified combat power were indeed rare. But Oracle Marquis was a Marquis Immortal; surely he had trained in one. Wang Cheng had obtained every manual Oracle Marquis had left behind in the Sacrificial Tower, so this could only mean Oracle Marquis hadn't left behind any secret method that directly amplified combat power!
Of course, that wasn't surprising. The fact that Oracle Marquis had trained in such a secret method didn't mean he had the right to pass it on to others. Take Nine Heavens Thunder Blade on Earth, for example. Strictly speaking, Wang Cheng was still practicing it illegally!
There'll be plenty of opportunities in the future. If I spend enough Opportunity Points, I'll eventually get the chance to obtain this kind of secret method! Wang Cheng thought. Then a white light began to shine from his body.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One Planet level first order Clone after another emerged from Wang Cheng's body. Before long, nearly three thousand of them stood on the plains.
Wang Cheng's Clone Technique allowed him to create up to 10,081 clones. However, at the Planet level, he could perfectly control only a thousand. Now that he had broken through to the Stellar level, the number of clones he could perfectly control had surged to three thousand.
Moreover, when Wang Cheng had been at the Planet level, he could easily create a whole bunch of Apprentice level clones. Now he was at the Stellar level, and his Gene level had also risen to thirty times the norm, so creating three thousand Planet level first order clones at once was naturally no problem!
Sky Thunder Storm, Wind God Shadow, Eternal Void, and Demonic Body.
Looking at the four manuals before him, Wang Cheng quickly came up with a training plan.
From now on, a thousand clones would go to the Outside World to absorb Cosmic energy, continuing to strengthen Wang Cheng's physical foundation. Another thousand would stay inside the World Ring to study Eternal Void. Nine hundred more would study the three manuals Sky Thunder Storm, Wind God Shadow, and Demonic Body separately inside the World Ring. The final hundred would adapt as needed and take care of odd jobs.
"Tsk, my Innate Talent is truly absurd!" Wang Cheng couldn't help exclaiming.
When he had first obtained this Innate Talent, he'd thought it was only so-so. But now, all Wang Cheng could say was that it was absurd!
A Planet level first order Clone's Consciousness Intensity was far inferior to Wang Cheng's Main Body, so a single Planet level clone was definitely slower at studying secret techniques than Wang Cheng's Main Body.
But the clones' Brain Domain Width was no less than the Main Body's. One clone might fall short, but a whole group could easily surpass the Main Body. With over a thousand clones, the speed was almost too much for Wang Cheng to imagine!
With his training plan in place, Wang Cheng's Main Body soon prepared to leave the World Ring.
When he had first arrived in the Inheritance World of Ganwu Universe Country, he'd suspected that the clone he'd left on Earth might have disappeared. Now that his consciousness had returned, he found that the clone he'd left behind was indeed gone!
Nearly half a month had passed. Who knew what things were like outside now?
Things were fine for Wang Cheng's Main Body, but the clone in Mingyue Community had vanished without a trace. That might cause some trouble.
Of course, it wouldn't be much trouble. With Wang Cheng's current strength, unless the Realm Lord level Zerg Mother Empress Ilina, who was sleeping somewhere on Earth, suddenly woke up, nothing could pose a problem for him!
With that thought, Wang Cheng gave a slight mental command, and his Main Body disappeared from inside the World Ring.
Whoosh!
Wang Cheng appeared out of thin air amid a field of ruins. Just then—
Screech!!
A dark shape lunged straight at Wang Cheng's head.
"What the hell?"
Wang Cheng frowned, then reached out and caught the dark shape rushing toward him.
"Iron Armor Beetle King?" Looking at the monster, which was about the same size as he was, Wang Cheng recognized it at once.
The Iron Armor Beetle King was a rare insect-type monster. Though it was small compared with other Lord-level monsters, the Iron Armor Beetle Kings that had been discovered were generally low-level Lords!
Lord-level monsters were roughly equivalent to human War God level experts. In fact, thanks to their physical advantages, Lord-level monsters were generally even stronger!
Wang Cheng casually slapped the Iron Armor Beetle King's head into pieces, then turned around.
About one or two meters away, a figure holding a Strange Spear stood warily in place, staring at Wang Cheng with some tension.
"It's you?"
Wang Cheng frowned slightly. He immediately recognized the figure as the person he'd encountered when he'd been training in Base City No. 003, the one who had been confronting Silvia's team.
Wang Cheng had even drawn down lightning to save her once.
Moreover, she seemed to have been the one who had attacked Silvia's team with a beast horde.
"You know me?"
The woman, whose face was still covered in camouflage paint, asked in surprise. She had clearly forgotten seeing Wang Cheng once in Base City No. 003. That was only natural, though. Back then, Wang Cheng had just been passing through, and she'd probably been focused on dealing with Silvia's team. It was no wonder she didn't remember him!
"A little over a month ago, you should still have been in City No. 003," Wang Cheng said calmly.
It was strange, really. Wang Cheng had first met this person in City No. 003, and now he'd made it to City No. 016—yet she had ended up here too.
The most important thing was that after Wang Cheng's Clone had disappeared, the World Ring should have fallen into the Residential Building where he'd been staying. Yet now, the World Ring was on this woman's weapon!
That was right. The woman must have picked up Wang Cheng's World Ring and somehow fastened it to her spear, using it as the spearhead.
It sounded ridiculous to use a ring as a spearhead, but Wang Cheng had to admit that she was clever!
Though the World Ring was only a ring, it could contain a world a million times larger than Earth. Its material had to be incredibly hard.
With equal force, it was difficult to break a pane of glass with cotton, but easy with an iron block!
The Iron Armor Beetle King was famous for its hard shell. Its shell was like glass, while an ordinary spearhead was like cotton. A "cotton" spearhead couldn't possibly hurt the Iron Armor Beetle King, but a World Ring was different.
With its absolute hardness, the ring's shape wasn't so important!
Wang Cheng remembered that this woman was only High-level Beast General level. Although her movement technique was close to Perfect level and her physical strength wasn't far from the War God level, under normal circumstances she would have found it difficult to challenge even a low-level Lord—let alone an Iron Armor Beetle King with an absurdly hard shell!
The fact that she had dared to take on the Iron Armor Beetle King was most likely thanks to the World Ring.
