Journey to the Imperial Capital

"Hm? The gestation is complete?" Luo Feng suddenly smiled.

After nearly a year, Morosa had finally gestated his first true warrior—a Saint-level Warrior with combat strength comparable to the Mid-tier Third Source Saint Realm!

Luo Feng immediately appeared inside the Star Tower.

"Master," Morosa said respectfully.

Then, beside him, a towering warrior whose appearance closely resembled a human appeared.

This warrior had two arms and two legs, and his form was much like that of a human. The only difference was his skin. His entire body was covered in black scales, each one inscribed with mysterious runes. His head seemed modeled after a human's as well; aside from the different skin texture, his facial features were identical. He also had a pair of curved horns on his head, somewhat like bull horns.

Luo Feng also noticed a vertical eye on the back of the warrior's head, nearly eliminating the blind spot behind him.

Luo Feng knew that this was the warrior Morosa had gestated, with strength comparable to the Mid-tier Third-Origin Saint Realm.

"Master, I gestated him by replicating certain human traits. I can alter the warrior's appearance," Morosa added.

"Good." Luo Feng looked at the World Beast Warrior and was quite satisfied.

Luo Feng also knew that the appearance of warriors gestated by World Beasts mainly depended on the World Beast King's preferences.

If Morosa wished, he could even gestate a warrior who looked exactly like Luo Feng. Of course, their auras could never be made identical.

"I just wonder whether God Kings can tell that this is a World Beast Warrior." Luo Feng was somewhat worried as well.

"Master, the warriors gestated by us World Beasts are fundamentally similar to us. Their primary sources of strength are their powerful bodies and the Destruction Origin, with the Destruction Origin being the core. If a warrior uses the Destruction Origin, God King-level experts may be able to recognize it."

"If they do not use the power of destruction, God Kings will absolutely be unable to identify them, unless their divine sense penetrates the warrior's body to inspect it," Morosa replied.

"Every one of our warriors has an incomparably resilient body. Their defensive power is absolutely top-tier. The defensive power of Saint-level Warriors is even stronger than Saint-level armor. Among those of the same level, no one can kill them. Their strength is also formidable. Even without using the Destruction Origin, they would not be much weaker. Without it, his strength still rivals that of an Early-tier Third-Origin Saint Realm." Morosa added as he looked at the warrior beside him.

Hearing this, Luo Feng relaxed and marveled at how absurdly powerful World Beasts were.

With the physical strength of a Saint-level Warrior alone, even Saint Realm experts at the eighth or ninth origin and above would likely find them troublesome.

No wonder every appearance of World Beasts was recorded as a calamity on the Origin Continent. Aside from their incomparably destructive power, their monstrous physical strength made them impossible for others of the same level to deal with.

Once a World Beast King grew to the point of fully controlling the Destruction Origin, he could gestate God King-level World Beast Warriors. Warriors at that level had bodies like God King armaments; even God Kings would likely be unable to do anything to them.

The Heavenly Wood God King's deterrent power was so great precisely because he had enslaved a World Beast King, and his World Beast King had reached the God King level.

"From now on, disguise yourself as an ordinary Eternal True God. This warrior will be our guard. He needs a name—let's call him Tie Nanhe." Luo Feng could not help thinking of the past. When he had only been at the Stellar level, he had had a servant named Tie Nanhe, who had died protecting him within a World Master world.

"Yes," Morosa replied.

"Yes, Master," the warrior who had just been named Tie Nanhe also spoke.

Luo Feng was Morosa's master, so naturally he was Tie Nanhe's master as well.

World Beast Warriors differed somewhat from Insect Race Warriors. Insect Race Warriors had no independent consciousness, whereas World Beast Warriors possessed independent consciousness. World Beasts were somewhat like the Machine Race: although their warriors also had independent consciousness, deep down they absolutely obeyed their creator.

Warriors with independent consciousness naturally had even more terrifying combat power. Especially when warrior armies joined attacks, they basically did not require much conscious control from the World Beast King; simple mental guidance was enough.

"Morosa, can Tie Nanhe independently comprehend and learn other secret techniques?" Knowing that World Beast Warriors had independent consciousness, Luo Feng could not help asking.

"Master, World Beast Warriors cannot increase their strength through comprehension. Their strength mainly depends on three aspects. The most important is the Destruction Origin, followed by physical strength, and finally techniques."

"If I grant him more origin power during gestation, his strength will naturally become greater. The treasures I devour are transformed into essence and stored within my internal world. The physical strength of every warrior is based on this essence matter, and I can gestate warriors with exceptionally powerful divine bodies. Finally, there are techniques. Their techniques are directly bestowed upon them by me. Whatever I know, they can learn."

"None of our warriors have their strength permanently fixed once they are gestated. I can have them return to the world within my body for repairs and enhancement. Of course, all this requires time and external resources. The stronger the warrior, the more complex and difficult the gestation process, and the longer it takes," Morosa explained.

Luo Feng understood as well. Everything in the universe was fair, and energy was conserved.

Every World Beast Warrior was already so heaven-defying. If they could also learn and improve on their own, that would truly be terrifying.

Every warrior gestated by a World Beast required equivalent energy. The stronger the warrior, the greater the energy expenditure and the longer the gestation time.

"Tie Nanhe is already strong enough. He should have no problem handling ordinary difficulties." Luo Feng smiled. "Next, it is time for us to head to the Imperial Capital."

Comprehending the Primal Chaos Stele had always been on Luo Feng's mind.

Leaving behind a divine power avatar in Azure City, Luo Feng set off for the Imperial Capital with Morosa and Tie Nanhe.

Azure City was more than thirty billion light-years from You Mountain Imperial Capital. On the Origin Continent, this was an incomparably distant journey. Speed was suppressed, teleportation was suppressed, and if a True God relied on flight, reaching the Imperial Capital would likely take several million eras.

As the domain lord of the nine great regions, Luo Feng possessed a complete map of the You Mountain Empire. The shortest route to the Imperial Capital had long been planned out.

Passing through a wormhole more than fifty million light-years away was nearly the fastest way to reach the Imperial Capital.

After killing Mad Demon, Luo Feng had obtained a rather excellent mechanical-type spacecraft. Though it still could not break the speed of light on the Origin Continent, it came close, reaching a maximum of 9,400 times the speed of light in the Primal Universe. Thus, Morosa no longer needed to laboriously teleport them along the way.

While traveling by spacecraft, he could also use the time to comprehend and create blade techniques.

It took more than five thousand years to travel from Azure City to the wormhole.

From the other end of the wormhole to You Mountain took six times as long—three entire eras. The travel time alone was even longer than the time it had taken to arrive on the Origin Continent before.

Finally, a mountain like a heavenly pillar appeared before Luo Feng's eyes—You Mountain.

You Mountain was a pillar-like peak with a maximum diameter of 304 light-years and a height of more than 5,600 light-years. From afar, it looked like a heavenly pillar standing upon the land.

Ten incomparably massive celestial bodies revolved around You Mountain. Each was hundreds of thousands of times larger than the sun in the solar system Luo Feng remembered. Due to You Mountain's special influence, these ten celestial bodies were exceptionally suited for cultivation. Living beings born on them had a greater chance of becoming experts than those elsewhere.

According to legend, these ten great celestial bodies were the territories of the ten titled Saint-level experts of the You Mountain Empire, guarded by ten Saint Realm experts who had earned titles.

Thus, these ten planets had become the ten great holy lands of the You Mountain Empire, second in status only to the Imperial Capital City atop You Mountain.

The Imperial Capital was located at the summit of You Mountain and was the most central place in the You Mountain Empire. Apart from the ten great planets, nearly all Saint Realm experts in the You Mountain Empire resided here. Moreover, the You Mountain Empire's three God Kings also lived in You Mountain City. It could be said that the Imperial Capital was the safest place in the entire You Mountain Empire.

Even powerful God Kings did not dare rashly intrude into the You Mountain Imperial Capital.

"What a spectacular sight. The power of this great world is truly incredible." Seeing this scene with his own eyes through the spacecraft, Luo Feng found it utterly unbelievable.

A towering stone pillar, surrounded by ten enormous planets.

Looking closely, Luo Feng also saw countless asteroids orbiting those ten planets. Nearly every planet had more than twenty smaller planets revolving around it.

Higher up, at the very top of the pillar-like mountain, was the most central place in the entire You Mountain Empire—You Mountain City, the Imperial Capital!

"Master, the gravity here has changed slightly. The mountain's gravitational force is now dominant," Morosa said.

"This You Mountain truly is wondrous." Luo Feng nodded. He could sense the change in gravity as well.

Before they knew it, Luo Feng's spacecraft had already approached the range of You Mountain. Through the dense layers of clouds, the enormous city atop the mountain had faintly entered their sight...

You Mountain City was finally within reach.
