Through a spatial passage, Wang Cheng walked out of the sacrificial tower. The moment he landed, he moved his mind.

Whoosh!

Wang Cheng's body instantly disappeared, and at the same time, he once again experienced that feeling of consciousness traversing endless space.

The next moment, on Earth, inside Wang Cheng's World Ring

"Hm?"

Wang Cheng's finger twitched slightly, and soon, he opened his eyes.

"I'm back!"

Feeling the vast plain around him, a hint of joy flashed through Wang Cheng's heart.

This round of three Opportunity Draws, the treasures obtained were better each time. The first was the Domain Lord level bloodline potion, the second was the Large World Ring, and the third was even more incredible.

Wang Cheng concentrated, and soon he saw three items added to the space connected by his consciousness.

Two Force weapons shaped like claws, and one Space Ring!

Wang Cheng moved his mind, and then the two Force weapons and the Space Ring all appeared before him.

Space Rings are similar to World Rings; both are treasures that can store items. Only those who master Space Law can create Space Rings.

However, generally speaking, Space Rings are not as precious as World Rings because the spatial capacity contained within them is worlds apart.

Space Rings are usually described by how many cubic meters of space they contain, while a World Ring, no matter how small, is a world!

"This time, I've truly struck gold!" Wang Cheng took out everything from the Space Ring. Looking at the piles of secret manuals and the inheritance crystal ball, the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

"My cultivation plan should change now!" Wang Cheng looked at these secret manuals, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Not long after, Wang Cheng selected some secret manuals he would cultivate next.

Sky Thunder Storm, a Combat Secret Method containing Lightning Law. Using this to comprehend Lightning Law will undoubtedly be far faster than before.

Wind God Shadow, a Combat Secret Method containing Wind Law. Although he has already mastered Lightning Law, Wang Cheng doesn't mind studying Wind Law. While it's true that one shouldn't bite off more than they can chew, Wang Cheng possesses the Innate Talent Clone Technique, which perfectly bypasses this issue.

Eternal Void, a Time Secret Method. Time and Space, these two High-level Laws, must be studied. No need to say more.

Demonic Body, similar to Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, is a Body Amplitude Secret Method. If cultivated to great success, Body Force Generation can easily reach 100.

"What a pity, no secret method for Amplitude Combat Power!" Wang Cheng sighed slightly.

Secret methods that can increase strength are of three types: Law-based secret methods, Body Force Generation amplitude secret methods, and finally, secret methods that directly amplify combat power, like the Kinkaku Giant Beast's inheritance secret method Myriad Manifestations!

Cultivating Myriad Manifestations to great success can amplify combat power by a full thirty-six times!

This is pure combat power, which can be multiplied with Law amplitude and Body Force Generation amplitude.

Secret manuals that can directly amplify combat power are indeed rare. However, as an Oracle Marquis, a Marquis Immortal, it's unlikely he hasn't practiced such a method. And Wang Cheng obtained all the secret manuals left by the Oracle Marquis in that sacrificial tower. This means the Oracle Marquis didn't leave behind any secret methods that directly amplify combat power!

Of course, this is not surprising. The Oracle Marquis practicing such a secret method doesn't mean he has the right to pass it on to others. Just like Nine Heavens Thunder Blade on Earth, strictly speaking, Wang Cheng is currently cultivating it against the rules!

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. If I spend more Opportunity Points, I'll eventually get such a secret method!" Wang Cheng thought, and then his body lit up with a white light.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Planet level first order clones continuously emerged from Wang Cheng's body. Soon, nearly three thousand Planet level first order clones appeared on the plain.

Wang Cheng's Clone Technique can create up to 10081 clones at most. However, when he was at the Planet level, he could only perfectly control a thousand clones. But now that he has broken through to the Stellar level, the number of clones he can perfectly control has surged to three thousand.

Moreover, when Wang Cheng was at the Planet level, he could easily create a bunch of Apprentice level clones. Now that he is Stellar level, and his Gene level has also increased to thirty times, it is naturally not a problem to create three thousand Planet level first order clones in one go!

Sky Thunder Storm, Wind God Shadow, Eternal Void, Demonic Body.

Wang Cheng looked at the four secret manuals before him and soon had a cultivation plan in his mind.

From now on, one thousand clones will absorb Cosmic energy from the outside world to continue improving Wang Cheng's physical foundation. One thousand clones will remain within the World Ring to study Eternal Void. Another nine hundred clones will study the three secret manuals Sky Thunder Storm, Wind God Shadow, and Demonic Body respectively within the World Ring. The remaining one hundred clones will be on standby for random situations and handling trivial matters.

"Tsk tsk, my Innate Talent is truly monstrous!" Wang Cheng couldn't help but exclaim.

When he first obtained this Innate Talent, he thought it was just average. But now... Wang Cheng can only say it's monstrous!

A Planet level first order clone is far inferior to Wang Cheng's main body in terms of Consciousness Intensity, so a single Planet level clone will definitely not be as fast as Wang Cheng's main body in studying secret techniques!

However, the clones' Brain Domain Width is no less than the main body's. If one clone isn't enough, a whole bunch of clones can easily surpass the main body. With thousands of clones, Wang Cheng can barely imagine the speed!

After arranging the cultivation plan, Wang Cheng's main body was about to leave the World Ring.

When he first arrived at the Inheritance World of Ganwu Universe Country, he felt that the clone he left on Earth might dissipate. Now that his consciousness has returned, he found that the clone he left behind was indeed gone!

Nearly half a month has passed; who knows what the situation is like outside!

Actually, Wang Cheng's main body is fine, but the dissipation of the clone in Mingyue Community might cause some trouble.

Of course, it's not a major problem. With Wang Cheng's current strength, unless the dormant Realm Lord level Zerg Mother Empress Ilina on Earth suddenly wakes up, nothing else is a problem for him!

Wang Cheng thought, then moved his mind. His main body instantly disappeared from the World Ring.

Whoosh!

Wang Cheng's figure appeared out of thin air amidst a pile of ruins. At this moment—

Chii!!

A black shadow suddenly lunged towards Wang Cheng's head.

"What the heck?"

Wang Cheng frowned, then reached out and instantly grabbed the black shadow lunging at him.

"Iron Armor Beetle King?" Wang Cheng recognized the monster, which was about his size.

The Iron Armor Beetle King was a rare Insectoid Monster. Although its size was small compared to other Lord-level monsters, the Iron Armor Beetle Kings that had been discovered were usually low-level Lords!

Lord-level monsters basically corresponded to human War God level experts. In fact, Lord-level monsters were generally even stronger due to their physical advantages!

Wang Cheng casually smashed the Iron Armor Beetle King's head to pieces with a single palm strike, then turned around.

At this moment, about one or two meters away from him, a figure holding a Strange Spear stood guard, watching Wang Cheng with a hint of nervousness.

"It's you?"

Wang Cheng's brow furrowed slightly. He immediately recognized the figure as the person he had encountered when he was training in Base City No. 003, the one who had confronted Silvia's team.

Wang Cheng had even intervened then, summoning lightning to save her once.

Furthermore, it seemed this person was responsible for the beast attack on Silvia's team.

"You recognize me?"

The woman, her face still covered in camouflage, asked in surprise. She clearly didn't remember meeting Wang Cheng in Base City No. 003. But that was understandable; Wang Cheng had just passed through then, and her mind was likely focused on dealing with Silvia's team. It wasn't strange for her not to remember Wang Cheng!

"A little over a month ago, you should have still been in City No. 003!" Wang Cheng said calmly.

It was rather strange. He had first met this person in City No. 003, and now, after he had arrived at City No. 016, she had also come here.

Most importantly, after Wang Cheng's clone had dissipated, the World Ring should have fallen into that residential building. Yet, the World Ring was now on this person's weapon!

That's right. Wang Cheng's World Ring must have been picked up by this person, and she had somehow managed to fix it onto her spear, using it as the spear tip.

A ring being used as a spear tip sounded ridiculous, but Wang Cheng had to admit, she was very clever!

Although the World Ring was just a ring, it could contain a world millions of times larger than Earth, meaning its material was absolutely incredibly hard.

With the same force, it was difficult to break a piece of glass with cotton, but very easy with a piece of iron!

The most famous characteristic of the Lord-level Iron Armor Beetle King was its hard shell. Now, this shell was like glass, and a normal spear tip was like cotton. It would be impossible to injure the Iron Armor Beetle King with a "cotton" spear tip, but it was different with the World Ring.

Under absolute hardness, the ring's shape was no longer that important!

Wang Cheng recalled that this woman was only a High-level Beast General. Although her movement techniques were close to Perfect level and her physical fitness was not far from the War God level, it would normally be very difficult for her to challenge a low-level Lord, let alone an Iron Armor Beetle King with an incredibly hard shell!

The reason she dared to confront this Iron Armor Beetle King now was likely due to the World Ring.
