Thirteen Sword Fiend Body

On a somewhat desolate life planet.

A golden tree, standing over a hundred kilometers tall, was deeply rooted in the ground, its canopy even extending beyond the atmosphere.

On one of the branches of the dense canopy, Jiang Luo stood upon a golden leaf, reaching out to stroke the tip of the branch, feeling the joy and attachment emanating from the Ten Thousand Feather Tree.

Five years had passed since he obtained the Ten Thousand Feather Tree sapling from Marquis Huanming.

By feeding it a massive amount of Lanke Fruit, this Ten Thousand Feather Tree had finally grown to the Universe level.

Jiang Luo took another Life Fruit out of his space ring.

Sensing the aura of the Life Fruit, the giant tree excitedly shook its branches and leaves, whipping up storms within the atmosphere.

This drew the attention of quite a few Star-level and Universe-level slaves.

Jiang Luo waved his hand and tossed the Life Fruit down; the fruit was snatched up by a leaf and vanished from sight.

Immediately, the Ten Thousand Feather Tree began to tremble and heave as if it had overeaten.

The energy contained within the Life Fruit was too vast; even with the Ten Thousand Feather Tree having reached the Universe level, it was difficult to digest.

But shortly after, flower buds began to grow rapidly from the branches and leaves of the Ten Thousand Feather Tree.

The buds swelled continuously and then bloomed in unison.

Each golden flower was composed of 108 slender petals; though called petals, they were more like feathers.

These were the offspring of the Ten Thousand Feather Tree.

The giant tree, over a hundred kilometers tall, had grown a total of 10,081 flowers.

The flowers then detached from the branches, waving their feather-like petal tentacles like octopuses as they swam through the atmosphere.

Jiang Luo reached out to stroke the petal tentacles of one of the flowers, and a consciousness, sharing the same origin as the Ten Thousand Feather Tree yet appearing slightly more immature, communicated intimately with him.

"Truly miraculous," Jiang Luo sighed. "It is like a clone yet not a clone, like an offspring yet not an offspring, but all of them bear my spiritual imprint and obey my will."

Each of these 10,081 offspring was at the second stage of the Star level.

The Ten Thousand Feather Tree itself was at the second stage of the Universe level.

The offspring were one major realm lower than the parent.

Of course, even being one major realm lower, it was no easy feat for the Ten Thousand Feather Tree to gestate over ten thousand offspring.

Had it not been for the Life Fruit Jiang Luo fed it, the Ten Thousand Feather Tree would surely have suffered severe damage to its vitality by producing 10,081 offspring in one go, with the risk of overdrawing its life force to the point of withering and dying.

Jiang Luo subsequently fed it three more Life Fruits, and the Ten Thousand Feather Tree bloomed three more times in succession.

In total, over forty thousand Star-level offspring were created.

"And these are only Star-level offspring. If I wait until the Ten Thousand Feather Tree reaches the Domain Lord level, producing Universe-level offspring would likely require at least a hundred Life Fruits..."

The mere thought made Jiang Luo's scalp tingle.

The growth of the Ten Thousand Feather Tree itself required vast resources, and producing offspring required even more; the higher the realm, the more resources were needed.

By now, the Lanke Fruits and Life Fruits he had purchased at the Gulun Auction were basically exhausted.

Each Life Fruit cost over 2 Hunyuan Units.

These four Life Fruits alone had cost him 9 Hunyuan Units.

Added to that were the galaxy cluster containing 16 galaxies he bought at the auction, as well as a large number of slaves, spaceships, and various devices for pioneering and developing planets.

The 3.16 million points he obtained from the Trial Tower, equivalent to 31.6 Hunyuan Units in cosmic currency, were basically all spent.

This made him even more urgent about obtaining the treasure of the Flint Star Sector Lord.

"Pato." Jiang Luo summoned a second-stage Universe-level slave of the Heimeng Race. "Take your men and bring the Ten Thousand Feather Tree offspring to the life planets we have already selected. Note: place one offspring on each life planet."

"As you command!" Pato said respectfully.

He then signaled over forty thousand Star-level slaves, each carrying an offspring, to board their ships and fly into the starry sky like scattered flowers.

Jiang Luo sighed inwardly; there were far more than a billion life planets across the 16 galaxies.

Even excluding some planets that could not support the migration of powerhouses above the Planetary level, it was still an astronomical number.

It seemed he would be busy spreading and cultivating faith across these 16 galaxies for a long time to come.

"Just in time, the power of belief has also accumulated enough." Jiang Luo probed his consciousness into the Wordless Seal, looking at the small cluster of crimson belief power within with joy.

One trillion strands of white belief power could condense into a single strand of crimson belief power, capable of manifesting higher-tier techniques and divine abilities.

Over the past five years, as he controlled more and more life planets, he had accumulated tens of trillions of strands of white belief power, despite the time-consuming nature of cultivating faith.

This was equivalent to dozens of strands of crimson belief power.

"Manifest the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body and the seventh level of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map!"

In an instant, images and information flooded his mind.

To obtain the treasure of the Flint Star Sector Lord, the ability to withstand group attacks was crucial.

After consulting the Wordless Seal, Jiang Luo learned that the most suitable technique he could manifest in a short time was the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body from the Cangyuan Map combined with the seventh level of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map!

Cultivating the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map to the seventh level would not only make his physical strength comparable to the Universe level, but he would also possess the ability of Blood Rebirth.

The Thirteen Sword Fiend Body not only allows the body to undergo evolutionary leaps but is also adept at both area-of-effect and long-range attacks.

Combining the two would allow for the eruption of terrifying strength.

Jiang Luo had actually considered manifesting the Thunder Annihilation Demon Body.

Once the Thunder Annihilation Demon Body is mastered, one's speed reaches an extreme, far surpassing the flight limits of the Star level and Universe level.

In the Flint Star World, its utility might even be greater than the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body.

However, cultivating the Thunder Annihilation Demon Body requires a deep comprehension of the origin laws of lightning.

Of course, with the Nuwa Map for constant visualization, it was not impossible for Jiang Luo to cultivate the laws of lightning.

But that would require a longer period, and it would not solve his immediate needs.

The greatest advantage of the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body is that it has no requirements for law comprehension.

Jiang Luo examined the information on the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body: "Hmm, the original Thirteen Sword Fiend Body requires the fusion of thirteen types of special fiendish qi.

"The Thirteen Sword Fiend Body manifested through wish power matches the supreme rules of the Origin Continent, so it doesn't actually require any fiendish qi.

"However, it does require the physical body to fuse with thirteen types of special materials.

"Golden Rabbit Magnetite, Shaluo Spirit Liquid, Burning Sun Copper Mother, Roaring Cloud Beast essence blood, Purple Vein Glass Heart..."

Jiang Luo hurriedly checked the information on these thirteen special materials on the Virtual Universe Network.

After a while, a look of joy appeared on his face: "Not bad, I can purchase all of them with my status as a disciple of the Ancient Wheel Hall, though a few of these materials are quite expensive as they are essential for cultivating certain precious auxiliary plant lifeforms.

"It seems I will have to challenge the Trial Tower once more."

Over these past five years, although he had focused most of his energy on spreading his faith, he had been able to visualize the Nuwa Map in his mind at all times, and his soul had been constantly transforming under its nourishment.

This had significantly increased the clarity of his perception regarding the fluctuations of the water and fire origin laws.

He could even vaguely perceive the fluctuations of the other six lower-tier laws, though they remained extremely blurry and difficult to comprehend or cultivate.
