While Yang Yu was peacefully cultivating in Chaos City, Luo Feng on Earth was undergoing intensive training.

With the high hopes placed on Luo Feng by Babata and the treasures and resources he had previously acquired, Luo Feng's growth rate was exceptionally rapid.

Although humans on Earth no longer face the threat of Monsters and life-or-death battles are rare, after coming into contact with the universe, Luo Feng has been able to receive excellent training in the Virtual Universe from a young age and experience a large number of battles in the Killing Field.

Moreover, he has many powerful individuals at the Star Level 9 and the Universe Level 8 serving as his sparring partners.

There are also 'Monsters habitats' that have been specially preserved on Earth. With Luo Feng's authority, he can naturally enter and exit freely to fight Monsters.

Meanwhile, Babata also purchased some Fierce Beast in the universe to serve as Luo Feng's experimental subjects, enriching his combat experience.

That's all.

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed in the Primal Universe, and the year 2056 had arrived.

A little over three years passed in the Initial Universe. During this time, Yang Yu spent almost all his time cultivating on the rooftop, except for occasionally going to Chaos City to study the Chaos Monument.

During this period, I used six opportunities to comprehend the Thunder Chaos Monument, and once again grasped the Time Law Essence, bringing my total to 78. I am getting closer and closer to fully comprehending the Time Law Essence.

However, Yang Yu also discovered that the further he went in analyzing the Law Essence, the more difficult it became, and his cultivation speed inevitably slowed down.

Even so, this speed still amazed the Chaos City Lord and Venerable Gui Yi.

If this cultivation speed can be maintained, then after the thirty-year comprehension period, there is a high probability that the 108 Essences of Time Law will be fully understood.

Of course, if the parsing speed decreases later, things might get a bit risky.

Even so, Yang Yu's cultivation speed is still far superior to those geniuses who take thousands of years to comprehend the essence of the Time Law or Space Law.

Come to think of it, only such a performance could catch the eye of the Chaos City Lord.

After all, there are too many ordinary geniuses. Even if each year's Genius Competition has its own champion, over a hundred million years, there would be countless such champions.

Without exceptional performance, the Chaos City Lord wouldn't waste time and energy nurturing him.

While Yang Yu continued to immerse himself in cultivation, Luo Feng on Earth in the Primal Universe had also come of age.

Over the past decade, under Babata's meticulous guidance, Luo Feng had already entered the Planetary Level several years ago, and his current strength is that of Martial Artist and Spirit Reader at the limit of the Planetary Level Nine!

It's only one step away from breaking through to the Star Level.

Moreover, Luo Feng, who received the best resources and the best training from a young age, successfully comprehended the 'Gold Domain' a year ago!

Now it has even reached the Domain Triple.

This cultivation speed is much faster than in the Original Work.

Comprehending a domain at the Planetary Level is barely acceptable in Babata's eyes, whose horizons are constantly being broadened.

After all, the Bloodline Grade of Earthlings is what it is, so being able to cultivate at this speed is already quite impressive.

According to Babata's observations, many geniuses on Earth make rapid progress as they get older, and Luo Feng's performance over the years has indeed followed this pattern.

This made Babata glad he hadn't made the wrong choice.

Jiangnan City.

Above the huge training ground.

"Whoosh!"

The array of 30 golden blades transformed in mid-air into the approximate shape of a swordfish, complete with a mouth and tail, lifelike and incredibly eerie.

"Hiss~~"

Golden threads appeared on all 30 blades simultaneously.

Golden threads are connected to each other.

Instantly, it formed a golden swordfish!

Like a real fish, it sways its tail slightly and moves strangely, its mouth incredibly sharp.

This is the Second Form of the Sky Shuttle!

As Heir the Yunmo Planet, Luo Feng's first exclusive Spiritual Weapon was naturally the Sky Shuttle.

"Call out!"

"Call out!"

"Call out!"

The swordfish, formed from golden, sharp blades, nimbly darted through the air. Strangely, even though the swordfish's attack speed reached thousands of meters per second, it did not cause a single sonic boom.

It was precisely Luo Feng's superb application of the field!

The techniques were also given to Babata by Yang Yu for free, so that he could pass them on to Luo Feng, and also to every genius on Earth who had grasped them.

For Yang Yu now, these basic domain manipulation skills are entirely free to obtain given his current level of access.

"Phew~"

Now an adult, Luo Feng, with a stern face, sheathed the Sky Shuttle blade. "After practicing for so long, I've finally mastered it today."

"It's barely passable. Your progress is only acceptable on Earth; it's quite average in space," Babata said, pouring cold water on the idea.

"Moreover, your idol Yang Yu comprehended a domain in less than a year of cultivation, and later even entered the threshold of the Lightning Law in a very short time. You are still far from comprehending the Gold Law, let alone catching up with him. You still need to practice seriously!"

"I know, that's why I've worked so hard all these years!" Luo Feng's eyes were firm, but then he said helplessly, "I also want to get started with the Gold Law as soon as possible, but I'm only at the Domain Triple right now, and my perception of the fluctuations of the Gold Law is too vague. I have no idea where to start."

"Sigh, take it slow. Planetary Level the Domain Triple the Domain at the Planetary level is already quite good, and your consciousness strength is also at 32. We can't ask for too much," Babata sighed. "It's just that I don't know if you still have a chance in the Genius Competition that will be held in 10 years."

"Is that the Genius Competition organized by that Virtual Universe Company, which gathers all the Star Level geniuses in the universe?" Luo Feng's eyes lit up. Over the years, he had learned a lot about the common knowledge of the universe, so he naturally knew that this grand event would be held twice within the next ten thousand years.

"Yes!" Babata nodded. "Your idol, Yang Yu, joined the Virtual Universe Company, and he joined the best Primal Secret Realm."

"That place is practically the gathering place of the strongest geniuses of their level in the entire universe!"

Babata exclaimed, "So if you want to get closer to him, the only way is to cultivate even harder."

"Great!" Luo Feng's eyes shone brightly. "I will definitely join the Primal Secret Realm too!"

"Isn't there still ten years? I believe I can create a miracle in these ten years!"

"I believe you, Luo Feng."

"Um!"

Luo Feng nodded heavily, then resumed practicing using the Sky Shuttle.

And Luo Feng truly lived up to his reputation for having an exceptionally large Brain Domain Width.

After so many years of cultivation, his Psychic Amplitude has reached 32.

After painstaking practice, Luo Feng finally mastered the attack form 'Swordfish Formation' in the second form of the Sky Shuttle. With this skill, Luo Feng also achieved Nine-Star Rating in the Virtual Universe's Battle Arena.

Luo Feng's outstanding performance over the years has also caught the attention of Ming Yu and Man Luo, who have extended an invitation to Luo Feng, hoping that Luo Feng can join the Virtual Universe Company ahead of schedule.

However, after learning that becoming Internal Member early meant losing his freedom, Luo Feng chose to become an external level-two elite member.

And he spent money to buy a Bloodline Evolution Agent.

According to Babata, his idol Yang Yu did the same thing back then. Although he will most likely join the Virtual Universe Company in the future, it doesn't stop him from taking advantage of the situation in advance.

Having obtained the Bloodline Evolution Agent, Luo Feng successfully broke through to the Star Level 1 after using it.

And his cultivation speed has noticeably increased.

Two more years passed just like that.

One day in 2058, a mysterious giant egg with incredibly intricate patterns shot from space toward Earth.

Strangely, the monitoring instruments Yang Yu had previously installed around the Solar System failed to detect it!

Babata didn't find it either!

And so, this giant egg silently fell into the Pacific Ocean.

The time is 21:36 on December 30, 2058.

Earth, the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of kilometers away from the Hawaiian Islands, in the deep ocean.

Cold and dark!

In this seabed area, an oval-shaped Black Giant Egg with a diameter of about twelve meters has been there for more than a year. It is covered with mud and weeds and is very inconspicuous.

Many Monsters in the surrounding waters discovered this mysterious giant egg more than a year ago, but none of Monsters have ever been able to break through the shell.

Gradually, fewer and fewer Monsters paid any attention to this mysterious giant egg.

"Click click click~~"

Suddenly.

The mysterious Black Giant Egg trembled slightly, and some of the weeds and mud that had fallen on it slid off.

In fact, more than a month ago, this giant egg had been trembling occasionally, and gradually the frequency increased. Yesterday alone, this mysterious giant egg trembled more than ten times.

"Click click click~~"

The mysterious Black Giant Egg trembled again, and more weeds and mud slid off, gradually revealing strange golden patterns on the surface of the Black Giant Egg.

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

The Black Giant Egg began to shake violently, and the amplitude of the shaking increased.

With a crisp sound, a crack appeared on the surface of the Black Giant Egg, followed by several loud cracks. The crack in the Black Giant Egg broke open, and a dark, slimy "unknown creature" emerged from the eggshell.

"Kechi, Kechi."

The unidentified creature, covered in slime, began to eat the eggshell.

They devoured the food voraciously, as if they hadn't eaten for years!

In just over ten minutes, about a third of the oval black eggshell, which was twelve meters in diameter, was eaten away, and the dark, unidentified creature was fully revealed.

This is an unidentified reptile creature, entirely black with black scales, possessing strong limbs. Its massive black body also has a pair of scale-covered wings and a slowly swaying tail like a dragon's tail.

Its head, held high, also boasts a single horn that proudly pierces the sky!

However, its entire body was covered in mucus, making it impossible to see its true appearance!

If Yang Yu were here, he would certainly recognize that this was none other than the Golden Horned Behemoth from the Starry Sky Behemoth Clan!

However, it is currently just Golden Horned Behemoth Cub.

As it devoured the black eggshells, the Golden Horned Behemoth Cub's body grew larger and larger, gradually increasing in length from about twelve meters. By the time it had finished eating all the eggshells, its body length had reached a staggering sixteen meters! At this moment, the mucus had been completely absorbed, and its entire body became clearly visible.

"Waaah--"

A sharp, cheerful sound emanated from the Golden Horned Behemoth Cub's throat, its entire body covered in black scales that resembled sharp blades, sending chills down one's spine.

Its body exudes an inexplicable, suffocating pressure; its entire body, from its ferocious wings covered in scales to its powerful limbs, tail, and horn, is a cold, black color!

To be precise...

The sharp, black horn was faintly covered with mysterious golden markings, but they were so subtle that they could only be seen upon closer inspection.

The mysterious golden markings spread and extended along the scales of its horn, head, neck, and back, as if a layer of golden markings had been integrated into its back. The dense golden markings even spread out from its back to its wings and then to its claws!

After finishing the black eggshell, the Golden Horned Behemoth Cub perched on the seabed and looked around.

Ancient memories, ingrained in my blood, gradually flooded my mind.

After a long while.

The Golden Horned Behemoth Cub's dark golden pupils suddenly lit up, turning into a dazzling gold!

Its horn, neck, and the mysterious golden markings on its back scales also glowed slightly, revealing a hint of gold visible to the naked eye!

The surrounding water flow momentarily stopped slightly, and the seabed rocks beneath it trembled slightly.

Streams of energy surged into its body.

But it stopped absorbing energy after only a moment.

"Woo!"

The mysterious Monsters stood up somewhat angrily, looking around as if it were pondering something.

Finally, it could only let out a low growl of resentment, then flicked its tail slightly and with a whoosh, it broke through the water and moved forward, as if it were born without needing oxygen and could walk on the seabed as if it were flat ground.

Swimming and swimming.

Suddenly, a group of fish-like Monsters appeared in front of it.

These fish Monsters have interlocking teeth and red eyes. Each one is over five meters long, and strangely, they have two three-toed claws growing from their bellies.

'Three-Clawed Monster Fish!'

A group of fish Monsters that survived the Great Nirvana Period.

"Yo~"

A sharp sound rang out.

The large group of fish-like Monsters quickly surrounded the mysterious Monsters, already considering this never-before-seen Monsters their meal!

Over the decades of evolution, there have been countless kinds of Monsters in the sea. Even those who live on the seabed year-round often encounter Monsters they have never seen before, and they usually judge their strength by their size.

Judging from its size, the black, unidentified Monsters in front of us is at most Advanced Beast General Level!

This group of Three-Clawed Monster Fish, whose average strength is at the Intermediate Beast General Level and whose leader is at the Elementary Lord Level, could easily hunt it down!

Because they were born on Earth, these Monsters are highly intelligent and can easily judge their strength based on their size.

Sea Monsters are generally larger than land Monsters.

Planetary Level- level sea Monsters typically have a body length exceeding 100 meters!

Lord Level sea Monsters are generally over twenty meters long!

The mysterious Monsters in front of them was only about sixteen meters long, so the group of fish Monsters were not afraid of it. When they joined forces, they could even hunt down Monsters lords.

"Yo!"

With a command from the lead Three-Clawed Monster Fish.

One after another, the fish monsters suddenly charged out.

'Call out'

'Call out'

'Call out'

At the same time, beams of red Light Law shot out from the eyes of the group of Three-Clawed Monster Fish, instantly forming a net that covered the entire Golden Horned Behemoth Cub.

The Golden Horned Behemoth Cub stared with its cold eyes at the overwhelming swarm of Three-Clawed Monster Fish.

"Woo!"

A low growl.

Brush!

The Golden Horned Behemoth Cub's wings, covered with scales as sharp as knives, suddenly unfurled!

It's at least twenty meters wide!

It moved!

The Golden Horned Behemoth Cub instantly transformed into a blurry, faintly golden afterimage, which spread across a radius of three hundred meters.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Countless golden lights shone forth.

The entire 300-meter radius instantly became an absolute dead zone!

All the Three-Clawed Monster Fish died instantly, and even some other sea Monsters were Strangulation!

They were Strangulation by those wings!

"Kechi, Kechi."

The Golden Horned Behemoth Cub captured the corpses of the three strongest sea Monsters, including Three-Clawed Monster Fish whose strength had reached the Elementary Lord Level.

The corpses of these three Lord-level Monsters, when piled up, are larger than the monster itself.

Its gaping maw devoured the food with ease, finishing it all in just over ten seconds!

"Woo!"

The Golden Horned Behemoth Cub let out a dissatisfied roar.

It was very dissatisfied with the three Monsters corpses it had just seen; the energy they contained was too low!

Even after it was completely eaten, its body length remained at about sixteen meters, without any change.

"Call out!"

The Golden Horned Behemoth Cub flicked its tail and continued forward!

It doesn't stop attacking Monsters below the Lord Level in this sea area.

Suddenly.

Two Lord Level Mountain-Quaking Whale appeared in front of it. It roared and spread its wings again, easily killing the two Mountain-Quaking Whale and swallowing them whole.

And so, starting that night, a bloody hunt began in the surrounding waters!

The Golden Horned Behemoth Cub's belly seemed to be a bottomless pit.

Eat, eat!

They devoured countless terrifying sea Monsters along the way, each one at least Lord Level!

If these enormous sea Monsters were piled up, they could probably form a mountain!

This was all thanks to Yang Yu's earlier order not to exterminate all the Monsters in the ocean, but to leave some as a warning to future generations.

Otherwise, this newborn Golden Horned Behemoth might not even have enough to eat.
