Clone Quota: Can It Be Used on Boundary Heart Continent? (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Dark Marquis Lord's strength was inferior to Ice Peak Lord and Chaos City Lord, and he spent most of his time in the Primordial Universe.

As for Chaos City Lord, with his three clones stationed in the Primordial Universe, the Initial Universe, and the Cosmic Sea respectively, if anything truly happened, he could arrive quickly given a Universe Master's travel speed.

Two tokens and two treasures—that was the safeguard Dark Lord had prepared for Zhang Dong's adventures.

As for weapons, Zhang Dong also had the authority to claim them directly from the clan.

Aside from treasures, palaces, domains, and soul-type heavy treasures, he could claim up to three items within his authority, along with a free five hundred billion points.

All of this was granted to him by the clan freely, without any cost required.

Once he broke through to Immortal God in the future, his authority would increase as his combat power soared, granting access to set-type heavy treasures and even free treasure claim permissions.

Five hundred billion points had purchasing power higher than five hundred billion mixed-element units. A pinnacle King-level expert typically had assets worth tens of billions to a hundred billion mixed-element units, while an invincible King-level, excluding heavy treasures, usually had assets ranging from hundreds of billions to around a trillion.

Clearing the Realm Lord-level Primordial Heaven-Reaching Mountain was only worth a hundred billion points.

The clan directly bestowed five hundred billion points upon Zhang Dong, making him far wealthier than Ke Di had been back then.

However, while this number of points seemed massive, its practical significance was limited. The secret techniques he could buy were already free for him to claim, and various weapons were utterly useless.

Poison capable of killing a King, or even the strongest Fire God Source Crystal, paled in comparison to a casual slap from him.

"Master, this disciple will not disappoint your expectations." Zhang Dong felt deeply moved inside.

This was the benefit of having high talent and joining the clan—leaning against a big tree made for easy shade, and everyone around was good to you.

If he had been born a slave, he would have found the clan utterly detestable. Different positions showed different things; Zhang Dong only needed to remember what the clan had done for him.

Dark Lord nodded slightly: "Remember, before you go for life-and-death tempering, you must first use your talent secret art to transplant a clone. Never set foot in a Cosmic Secret Realm before that. Every so often, I will guide you in the Virtual Universe."

With that, he Teleported away, following the cosmic passage directly into the Cosmic Sea.

Everything that needed to be said had been said, everything that needed to be arranged had been arranged. The remaining path was for Zhang Dong to walk alone.

As for those two tokens, Zhang Dong believed he would absolutely never use them.

The treasures were quite good, highly useful even in Venerable-level battles. Only when he reached the combat power of a Great Power (Universe Master) would ordinary treasures gradually lose their effectiveness.

How many Cosmic Venerables begged for treasures they could never obtain.

"Talent Secret Art—Transplant, will let me obtain two clones. I need to plan carefully." Zhang Dong pondered what clones would be best to choose.

Too bad he couldn't exploit a bug: possess the Golden-Horned Beast with a clone, then use the Golden-Horned Beast to create further clones.

One of the clone slots, he planned to try on the Boundary Heart Continent, using plants there or other bizarre lifeforms.

Making a human clone specifically was definitely unnecessary.

He could transform into human form anytime he wanted; a human clone would just waste a slot.

"I'll wait a few hundred years and see. If there's no suitable Special Lifeform, I'll just make a Blood Sea to play with." After thinking for a long time, Zhang Dong finally reached this conclusion.

If there was a high gene multiplier Special Lifeform, like Barking King, Insect-Chasing King, or Purple Rain Venerable, he would possess it.

Otherwise, he would follow Luo Feng's example and make a Blood Sea.

As for clones without souls, he had considered them, but after careful thought, he felt they were unnecessary.

Once he opened the Divine Sea and comprehended the Illusory Realm techniques, combined with a soul-type heavy treasure, his soul defense would certainly be very high.

By then, unless a Universe Master extremely skilled in souls, or even a True Deity, made a move, it would be absolutely impossible to kill or enslave him through the soul.

As long as his identity wasn't exposed, how could he possibly attract a True Deity assassin?

Even if he was truly exposed to the alien races, Zhang Dong would at most hole up in the Initial Universe, spend some time cultivating to the Fourth Heaven Realm Deity, and then come out.

A Fourth Heaven Realm Deity, further cultivating suitable ultimate techniques, would have Great Power-level combat power, paired with soul defense treasures.

By then, with the power restrictions within the Primordial Universe, Zhang Dong would absolutely be immune to soul enslavement.

Another hundred years passed, making it over three hundred years in the outside world, yet still no suitable Special Lifeform had appeared.

Thousand-fold was too hard to find; most were just hundred-fold or two-to-three-hundred-fold Special Lifeforms.

Hundred-fold genes were completely unnecessary. If one had Beast God blood compatible with humans, they could spend time eating their way to hundred-fold.

Chaos City Lord's Mansion.

It was easy for Zhang Dong to see Chaos City Lord. He only needed to call out softly, and Chaos City Lord, who had authority over the Initial Universe, would sense it and teleport him into the mansion.

"Uncle Master, I've come to ask a favor." Zhang Dong said respectfully: "I want the seawater from the Nine Abyss Sea to make a Blood Sea clone."

The Bitter Snow Vine was already a large-volume plant lifeform.

Adding a Blood Sea clone—how terrifying would his divine power reserves be during his Universe Master period?

"Oh, you're sure you want the seawater from the Nine Abyss Sea?" Chaos City Lord asked: "The legend of the Nine Abyss Lord is very hard to replicate."

The Nine Abyss Lord owed Chaos City Lord a favor, so this matter was easy for him.

But he still asked Zhang Dong repeatedly whether he was certain about the Nine Abyss Sea seawater, rather than a more functionally versatile clone.

For example, the Demon Slayer Clan, which had no soul and could use Teleportation.

"I..." Zhang Dong was about to confirm, but he suddenly remembered that Dark Lord had said he must create a Clone before undergoing life-and-death tempering.

There was no restriction on him leaving the Initial Universe, either.

Might as well go to the Boundary Heart Continent and try his luck. If he found a suitable life form, spending both slots wouldn't be out of the question.

"Uncle Master, I'll still take some time to choose. I'd like to return to the Primordial Universe first and make preparations for the life-and-death tempering." Zhang Dong bowed and withdrew.

The life planet Gao Li had purchased for him had already nurtured enough faith power to allow three round trips to the Boundary Heart Continent.

As he left the Initial Universe, Chaos City Lord did not interfere with his freedom.

After all, the Virtual Universe could track his coordinates at any time. As long as he stayed within human territory, there was nothing to worry about. Zhang Dong had tested it long ago—when he went to the Boundary Heart Continent, his coordinate display did not change.

Zhang Dong returned to the Primordial Universe, first purchasing some items from the treasure vault. After half a day, when the goods arrived, he immersed his consciousness into the Jade Green Bubble.

Shua!

Space and time shifted.

Strict rules bound him once more. The great power who could extinguish star seas with a flick of his finger was reduced to a mortal who couldn't even fly.

"Ah... how much longer until I can fly?"

Zhang Dong sighed inwardly. If Chaos City Lord and the others ever learned that there existed a world where even Universe Masters could barely manage flight, they would probably be stunned speechless.

And that wasn't even the worst of it. In a place like the Origin Continent, even Origin Ancestor and Giant Axe couldn't fly.

Only those transcendent, reincarnation-surpassing supreme beings had the ability to fly.
