Fierce Battle, the Secret of Gene Breakthrough

"Such rapid burst speed! Truly worthy of being Invincible King Level expert!"

Upon witnessing the King Chihong's astonishing burst of speed, Yang Wu inwardly sighed in admiration.

Since arriving at this Outer-Region Battlefield, he had never encountered a powerhouse with such astonishing burst speed.

The burst speed of the King Chihong before them was almost comparable to that of someone who had created his own Peak Secret Technique.

This is quite normal, as burst speed often depends on Movement Technique- enhancing items, Movement Technique- enhancing techniques, and one's own basic strength.

What does it mean to Invincible King Level?

They are top-tier powerhouses who have no weaknesses in any aspect, such as genes, Amplitude Secret Technique, treasures, or Self-Created Secret Technique.

Perhaps some Invincible King Level possess astonishing advantages in a particular area, but they also cannot have significant weaknesses in other areas; otherwise, how could they possibly escape the clutches of Universe Venerable?

Perhaps King Chihong is inferior to Yang Wu in terms of Self-Created Secret Technique related to Movement Technique, but his basic strength far surpasses that of Yang Wu, so it is not surprising that he has such an amazing burst speed.

"Since I can't escape for the time being, I have no choice but to fight. It's a good opportunity for me to see how big the gap is between myself and a true Invincible King Level!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

At the same time, Yang Wu also had another thought in his mind.

The King Chihong before him was Invincible King Level powerhouse from the Yan God Race, and his existence was closely related to the Yan God Race Clone's gene breakthrough method for clones, which he had previously speculated about. Perhaps he could use this opponent to break through his own limitations?

Thinking of this, the Yan God Race Clone also used his Movement Technique and spear techniques to meet the attack.

At this moment, the imposing figure of the King Chihong had already traversed tens of thousands of kilometers and arrived directly in front of the Yan God Race Clone. Immediately, the Two-Handed Long Blade emanating a faint, cold light slashed down fiercely, and wherever the blade passed, the Space Fragment were instantly reduced to nothing.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Yan God Race Clone streaked across the scene like a ghostly phantom, its God Slayer Spear also slightly rotating, meeting the King Chihong's longsword at an extremely precise angle.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The longsword and the God Slayer Spear collided violently, crushing and shattering space into basic particle streams.

The violent collision caused the Yan God Race Clone to feel slightly uncomfortable; he had never felt this way in a direct battle since arriving at the Outer-Region Battlefield.

At the same time, Yang Wu also received a telepathic message from the Auxiliary Life Kashi: "Master! That attack just now was almost at my limit. If the attack had been any stronger, my Divine Body would have been shattered!"

"What?" Yang Wu was quite surprised.

It's important to understand that this isn't the previous Elementary King Level Auxiliary Metal Lifeform, Kashi; it's Peak King Level Auxiliary Metal Lifeform that he cultivated at a cost of nearly a hundred billion Hunyuan Unit.

Although Kashi's defense cannot compare to that of a true defensive Auxiliary Life like Mo Yun Vine, it is still a genuine Peak King Level life form.

With the weakening effect of the Yan God Race King Armor outside, it is completely capable of withstanding the self-destruction of Peak King Level expert.

And yet, even after being weakened by his spear technique, the King Chihong's attack still possessed such astonishing power?

Unbeknownst to Yang Wu, the King Chihong was also secretly shocked.

"With my strength, even with the weakening effect of the King Armor, this God Slayer King should at least have his body shattered by my attack!"

As a member of the Yan God Race, the King Chihong naturally had a deep understanding of the King Armor, the exclusive armor of the Yan God Race Lineage.

Although King Armor can weaken the enemy's physical and Soul Attack by more than 90%, who is King Chihong? He is a true Invincible King Level, the kind of person who can survive even in front of a true Universe Venerable.

He had just used his strongest attack to intimidate the God Slayer King, but unexpectedly, such a powerful attack did not cause any effective damage to the God Slayer King.

"It's because of his spear technique!" After a moment's thought, King Chihong discovered the key to the problem. "His spear technique is even more refined than my swordsmanship, thus weakening most of the attack's power!"

"Not bad spear technique!" King Chihong transmitted his voice, "I just don't know if this spear technique was created by you, God Slayer King, or obtained from someone else!"

Although the God Slayer King was very powerful, he posed no threat to him.

However, the spear technique used by the God Slayer King was quite shocking to him.

"Each shot interprets the Law so beautifully, yet it's neither the Law of Space nor the Law of Time! And the phantom of a giant beast appears within that spear technique—could it be Fusion Law?"

King Chihong pondered to himself.

Logically speaking, no matter what kind of secret technique it is, the Law it contains can all be classified into the ten basic Law of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, time, and space. However, the God Slayer King Spear Technique does not contain any of these ten Law.

However, although no one in the Yan God Race has received the Beast God Inheritance, the Yan Emperor Yan God Race Leader, holds an extremely high position in the Nine Domains Alliance.

Although the Nine Domains Alliance cannot compare to top-tier forces such as the Hong Alliance and the Zerg Alliance, it can still be considered a second-tier power in this vast universe, naturally attracting countless races to join.

As Invincible King Level powerhouse within the Yan God Race, the King Chihong commands respect even from ordinary Universe Venerable within the Nine Domains Alliance, making him naturally well-informed.

Even the King Chihong had once sparred with a Limit King Level expert who had received the Beast God Inheritance, so he knew about the special path of Law that was the Path of the Beast God.

However, the Path of the Beast God that Yang Wu comprehended was different from that of the Limit King Level expert he had fought before, Beast God Phantom contained in his moves was not the same Beast God, so he couldn't tell the difference for the time being.

"It's been a long time since I've encountered such an interesting opponent, this is truly exhilarating!" King Chihong looked at the Yan God Race Clone and laughed loudly, "However, even with your amazing spear skills, you will never be my match!"

"If you make even the slightest mistake, I can shatter your Immortal Divine Body and then annihilate you completely!"

As the saying goes, 'What is held for too long will eventually be lost!'

The opponent's strength was indeed somewhat inferior to his, so King Chihong firmly believed that as long as his attacks were more frequent, the God Slayer King would definitely be unable to withstand them.

"Oh?"

The Yan God Race Clone looked at the King Chihong, his eyes burning with boundless fighting spirit. "Then I'll wait and see!"

At this moment, Yang Wu seemed to have returned to the time when he had just become Jinguang Marquis's disciple and went to the Thunder World Lord World.

That was when he had just reached the eighth level of the Domain, and in order to comprehend the Law of Fire as soon as possible, he chose to take a life-or-death adventure.

In fact, even without that life-or-death adventure, he could have quickly grasped the Law with the help of the Simulator.

However, if he did that, his position as the number one in the Peak Genius Battle might be taken by someone else, and he wouldn't have the opportunities he has now.

Unfortunately, with the help of the Simulator, he has rarely experienced such dangerous battles along the way.

Just like before, he had accumulated wealth of hundreds of billions of Hunyuan Unit, but every battle was a massacre, posing no challenge to him whatsoever.

Now, facing this Invincible King Level powerhouse of the Yan God Race, Yang Wu felt an overwhelming surge of fighting spirit once again.

Of course, with his current strength, he has absolutely no chance of defeating an Invincible King Level. Being able to force the opponent to retreat would be a success!

"Chi Yan, shield the Blood Blade Squad from the outside battle!" Yang Wu commanded the Intelligent Life in his mind.

"Yes, Master!" Chi Yan knew that Yang Wu was facing a difficult battle, so he quickly replied.

Just after Chi Yan shielded the Blood Blade Squad's senses...

Boom!

An extremely powerful aura suddenly soared into the sky, and the figure of a powerful figure reappeared in the void.

He was less than two meters tall, holding a crimson spear in his hand. His entire body was shrouded in an ancient, dark gold armor with countless crimson runes flowing across it. In the center, there was a faint dragon-shaped phantom, exuding a chilling aura. It was Yang Wu's Earthling Main Body.

"Humans?"

King Chihong was about to continue his attack, he suddenly noticed another powerful figure appearing not far away, emanating an equally astonishing aura.

But when the King Chihong saw this newly appeared powerful figure, he became even more furious.

Because... this powerful figure was a human, a human whom the Yan God Race utterly despised.

"Damn God Slayer King, how dare you join forces with humans!" King Chihong roared furiously.

Buzz...

With a soft sound, a sharp Crimson Spear Light traversed the sky, directly piercing towards the King Chihong standing in the void.

"Laughable humans!" King Chihong paid no attention to the attack launched by Yang Wu's Earthling Main Body.

For him, even an attack from a Limit King Level expert could not harm him while he was wearing the King Armor.

Puff!

The Crimson Spear Light slammed into the King Chihong's brow, but the boundless power contained within it seemed to vanish without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

"Invincible King Level, truly powerful!"

Yang Wu secretly admired him, then stopped thinking about it and launched an attack with both Clone.

"Good timing!"

With a roar, the King Chihong unleashed a chilling black blade of light that swept across thousands of kilometers of sky, slashing fiercely toward Yang Wu.

He was well aware of the astonishing defense of the Yan God Race King Armor, so he immediately set his sights on the newly appeared Earthling Main Body.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

"What keen judgment!" Yang Wu exclaimed in admiration. The Earthling Main Body retreated rapidly, while the Yan God Race Clone took the initiative to meet him.

Although the Flame Dragon Armor's defensive capabilities are no less than those of the Yan God Race King Armor, the Auxiliary Metal Lifeform on the Earthling Main Body's body is only at the Elementary King Level, and cannot withstand the King Chihong's thunderous strike at all, so it can only use ranged attacks.

Fortunately, although Yang Wu was not as good as the King Chihong in terms of attack, he was slightly better in terms of Movement Technique, which allowed him to take the initiative in the battle.

"Damn God Slayer King, damn humans!" King Chihong was filled with rage.

His attacks were blocked by the Yan God Race Clone, and he could only fight them head-on.

As for the attacks from Earthling themselves from afar, although they could not cause him effective damage, they still greatly interfered with his work.

Meanwhile, Yang Wu, while fighting the King Chihong, was also constantly intercepting and analyzing the opponent's Immortal Divine Power.

Having thoroughly studied the original work, Yang Wu naturally stood on the shoulders of giants and knew how to improve his own Life Gene.

In the original novel, Luo Feng, after becoming the Universe Master, used his Nine Nether Clone to analyze various life forms in the universe, even the blood of True God Level powerhouses. This allowed him to break through the limitations of Perfect Gene and increase his own Life Gene Level to 16,000 times.

Of course, it would be a pipe dream for Yang Wu to study the blood of True God Level powerhouse who has achieved Perfect Gene!

Even if the genes were hundreds or thousands of times stronger, Yang Wu would still have no way of analyzing them.

Yang Wu only needs to study the King Chihong's Life Gene now, and he doesn't need to reconstruct the Divine Body. He only needs to decipher the secret of the Yan God Race Clan's genetic evolution!

Although this is a difficult task, Yang Wu himself has two Clones with Life Gene that have reached a hundred times the normal level, as well as the divine power of the King Chihong to draw upon, so there is naturally a glimmer of hope.

Buzz!

An Immortal Divine Power belonging to the King Chihong dissipated from Yang Wu's hand.

The Immortal Divine Power of every Immortal God bears the Soul Seal, entirely unique to them.

Although Yang Wu was able to briefly intercept the King Chihong's Immortal Divine Power, he was completely unable to prevent the king from recalling him without annihilating the king's divine power.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz...

Yang Wu intercepted strands of the Red Feather King's Immortal Divine Power, which then dissipated back into the air, but this also allowed Yang Wu to gain a deeper understanding of it.

"The Red Feather King's Life Gene have indeed reached a hundred times that of ordinary Life Gene in the universe!"

Yang Wu inwardly marveled, "His strength is probably slightly greater than that of the King Zhenyan, only slightly inferior in terms of Self-Created Secret Technique!"

Every Invincible King Level who can roam the universe has their own unique advantages.

As a human, King Zhenyan had weak genes and a small Divine Body, so he naturally had to put more effort into Self-Created Secret Technique.

However, for the Yan God Race Lineage, born from the God King's Mountain Sitting Guest, their Life Gene are naturally powerful. Among them, the talented individuals can even increase their Life Gene to 16 or 32 times that of ordinary life in the universe. In this way, although it is still difficult to continue to increase to the limit of 100 times Life Gene, it is also quite simple.

After all, the Blood of the Beast God isn't the only treasure in the universe that can enhance Life Gene!

As the number of encounters increased, Yang Wu's analysis of the King Chihong's Life Gene became more and more thorough!

"It seems that this Red Feather King is a rare genius among the Yan God Race Lineage. He has evolved his Life Gene to 32 times that of ordinary life in the universe simply by relying on himself!"

"As for the treasure that allowed him to reach a hundredfold increase in genetic power, could it be the Heaven-Repairing Marrow, unique to the Zerg Race?" Yang Wu pondered to himself.

The 'Heaven-Repairing Marrow' is a treasure unique to Zerg Race, a top-tier race, and is as important as the 'Evolution Heart' is to the Machine Race.

Even in the eyes of most powerful beings, the 'Heaven-Repairing Marrow' is far more important than the 'Evolution Heart', since the 'Heaven-Repairing Marrow' can evolve one's own Life Gene, while the 'Evolution Heart' is only used to cultivate Intelligent Life.

Initially, 'Heaven-Repairing Marrow' was only used to treat some Zerg Mother Emperor with congenital deficiencies, but by chance, people discovered its amazing effects.

That is— 'Heaven-Repairing Marrow' can elevate the Life Gene Level of those below the Universe Master.

The higher one's strength, the more 'Heaven-Repairing Marrow' one consumes. However, the maximum one can increase is only five times the original Life Gene, and it cannot be used in conjunction with other treasures that increase Life Gene.

Of course, although the 'Heaven-Repairing Marrow' cannot be enhanced up to a hundred times like the 'Blood of the Beast God', its value is relatively lower, and the fusion difficulty is also simpler.

The Red Feather King's own Life Gene has already reached 32 times, and even if he uses the 'Heaven-Repairing Marrow', he can still reach the limit of 100 times his Life Gene. He naturally knows how to choose.

"I need to first remove the portion of genes added by the 'Heaven-Repairing Marrow' before studying how his own Life Gene evolved!"

While desperately fending off the King Chihong's attacks, Yang Wu continuously analyzed the opponent's Life Gene.

Yang Wu's thoughts were racing, while his Clone in the Time Palace had accelerated the flow of time to a hundred times its limit, constantly analyzing everything he could think of.

Silently, Yang Wu continuously analyzed the Immortal Divine Power of the King Chihong, without any loss.

The most basic structural components of the King Chihong's Life Origin slowly emerged before Yang Wu.

Complex!

Incredibly complex!

Although the King Chihong's Life Gene was only a hundred times stronger, its most basic structure was incredibly complex, even surpassing any Law Secret Pattern that Yang Wu had ever seen.

"The most fundamental genetic composition of this King Chihong is extremely similar to that of the Yan God Race Clone!"

"As for the Earthling Main Body, although they also possess a hundred times the Life Gene, their complexity is far inferior to that of the Yan God Race Lineage's Life Gene!"

While fighting the King Chihong, Yang Wu was constantly pondering.

"It seems I've finally found the right direction!"

Yang Wu continuously sensed the differences between the genes within the Yan God Race Clone and those within the King Chihong. He knew very well that the secret to the Yan God Race Clone's continued breakthrough in Life Gene must lie here.

Yan Emperor, who had been abandoned by Mountain Sitting Guest, was able to succeed. His current talent is not weak either, and he is also familiar with the original work. It's like he's standing on the shoulders of giants. There's no reason why he can't succeed!

"Could it be like this?" Yang Wu's mind stirred, and he began to have his Yan God Race Clone try to break through using the feeling from the previous gene breakthroughs.

Buzz...

The Yan God Race Clone felt a tremor in its Life Gene, which then returned to calm.

Breakthrough failed!

"Try again!"

The opportunity to encounter Invincible King Level expert from the Yan God Race was extremely rare. Yang Wu didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief after his failure before continuing his attempts.

Meanwhile, the weak Clone within the Time Palace, which was already operating at a hundred times the speed of time flow, was constantly researching everything that could be researched, and continuously analyzing the differences between the Life Gene of the Yan God Race Clone and the King Chihong.

"Fail!"

"Fail!"

"Breakthrough failed!"

The repeated failures did not discourage Yang Wu in the slightest.

Firstly, his mental fortitude was incredibly strong;

Secondly, Yang Wu firmly believed that he was on the right track.

And every failure is a valuable experience that can lead to success...

The Life Origin is simply a process of Universe Evolution, containing boundless mysteries. Even repeated failures will benefit Yang Wu immensely.

As time went by, while Yang Wu continued to study Life Gene, the King Chihong finally went mad because he could not defeat the God Slayer King!

"Damn it! Damn humans, damn God Slayer King!" King Chihong roared in anger.

Although he was fully capable of relentlessly ravaging the God Slayer King, the two opponents cooperated seamlessly, as if they were one entity, and he was unable to harm either of them at all.

"Ha ha!"

After one of his attacks, King Chihong looked at the two Limit King Level experts who were constantly blocking his attacks and suddenly laughed, "How long has it been? How long has it been since I encountered such a troublesome opponent?"

In fact, ever since the King Chihong possessed the Invincible King Level, he has been cultivating in seclusion in the Yan God Secret Region, hoping to become the sixth Universe Venerable within the Yan God Race.

Unfortunately, King Chihong didn't know was that because he was born in the Yan God Secret Region, his probability of breaking through to the level of Universe Venerable was inherently far lower than that of those born within the Cosmic Nation.

Yang Wu is the most formidable opponent that the King Chihong has encountered in reality since he achieved the title of Invincible King Level!

"We can't delay any longer!" King Chihong thought to himself. "If this drags on any longer, the God Slayer King might very well call upon other powerful figures from the Human Faction for help!"

"This God Slayer King is so powerful that it's worth burning a portion of my Immortal Divine Power to fulfill the leader's orders!"

"Now, let's end all of this!"

The King Chihong made a decision in an instant!

Boom!

Just as the dazzling blade light and the Crimson Spear Light collided once again, an incomparably terrifying aura erupted from the King Chihong.

That vast aura was almost comparable to that of the Nine Sword Venerable before he unleashed his divine power.

The King Chihong has already burned his Immortal Divine Power; he's decided to fight to the death!

"God Slayer King, prepare to die!" King Chihong snorted coldly and instantly charged towards the Yan God Race Clone blocking his way.

With his Invincible King Level, and the power he unleashed by burning Immortal Divine Power, how formidable was his power?

In his view, even if the God Slayer King also burned his Immortal Divine Power to resist, it would be enough to annihilate a large amount of the opponent's Immortal Divine Power!

If the opponent doesn't have time to burn their Immortal Divine Power, this attack could even annihilate more than half of their Immortal Divine Power!

"Not good!"

Upon seeing the King Chihong unleash his Immortal Divine Power, Yang Wu's pupils constricted sharply.

When an Invincible King Level expert burns his Immortal Divine Power, how astonishing is that power?

After burning his Immortal Divine Power, the King Chihong's Movement Technique became faster, and he had no time to dodge.

"Is the Origin Core about to be exposed?" Yang Wu thought helplessly.

He wasn't too worried about his own safety.

After all, even a thunderous strike from Invincible King Level, fueled by the burning Immortal Divine Power, would be utterly incapable of harming the Origin Core fused with the Star Bead.

Afterwards, Yang Wu could calmly invite other powerful individuals to come and help.

However, even the more defensively powerful Yan God Race Clone was unable to withstand the furious attack from the King Chihong!

"Boom!"

The King Chihong was incredibly arrogant. With a fierce slash of his long sword, it instantly transformed into a sky full of dazzling sword light, a beauty that was breathtaking.

Countless blades of light swept across the sky, and powerful, violent energy swept out in all directions, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, directly slashing towards the head of the Yan God Race Clone.

This is a fatal blow!

Just as the King Chihong was burning his Immortal Divine Power to unleash his strongest technique, the Yan God Race Clone also began another attempt to break through.
