The Mosha Clan clone stopped when he heard they were going to kill a World Lord.
"Senior, did I hear you right? You really want to kill a World Lord?"
"Yes. Trust me, it'll be fine!"
His current strength was roughly equivalent to ten Peak World Lords. An ordinary World Lord stood no chance against him, and killing one in a single blow would be no problem.
If he actually encountered a Peak World Lord, well, he would just go all out.
Luo Feng looked at Chen Ao with mixed feelings. If Chen Ao really could kill World Lords at the Universe Level, the gap between them was far too large.
His Earthling Main Body could kill, at most, a sixth- or seventh-stage Domain Lord. Yet Chen Ao, who was also an Earthling and also at Universe Level 9, could already kill World Lords?
There was a hundredfold difference in strength between Domain Lords and World Lords.
Even a Domain Lord Ninth Stage and a First Stage Realm Lord were dozens of times apart.
Luo Feng's feelings were incredibly complicated. He had thought he had made great progress. Even though Chen Ao remained confident, he had still felt that the gap between them was narrowing.
He had never imagined that, rather than shrinking, the gap seemed to have grown even wider.
"Let's go. I've already sensed him. He's only a sixth-stage World Lord. I can kill him easily!"
Hearing Chen Ao speak with such confidence again, Luo Feng let out a deep breath, then headed toward the World Lord's residence.
The process was the same: he posed as a subordinate requesting an audience.
Once he approached the World Lord, another streak of Sword Light appeared.
This streak of Sword Light, however, clearly carried a dense concentration of law power. It was nothing like the ordinary Sword Light used to kill the Domain Lords earlier.
Looking at the thoroughly dead World Lord, Luo Feng murmured to himself.
"So this is your true strength, Senior?"
At that thought, Luo Feng suddenly came to his senses. Why would he entertain such a naive idea?
This was Senior's true strength?
This was clearly only the part I'd seen. Who could say whether Chen Ao was still holding something back?
"Could Senior actually contend with an Undying?"
They quickly gathered the spoils. Sure enough, the haul from a World Lord was considerably larger, with more than twenty Blood Luo Crystals.
"As expected of a sixth-stage World Lord. This fellow must have held quite a high position!"
There were differences between World Lords, and their wealth would naturally differ as well. This one was relatively wealthy.
"Next!" Chen Ao eagerly continued the hunt.
On the way, Luo Feng sent Chen Ao a voice transmission. "Senior, this might be a little presumptuous, but could you give me a rough idea of what level of opponent you can fight?"
"Hmm, that depends on their strength. The World Lords of the Blood Luo World are seriously underwhelming. They're practically at the baseline, so they're no challenge!"
Luo Feng smiled bitterly. No challenge?
Those were World Lords, with a baseline strength ten thousand times that of the Universe Level.
"Senior, with strength like yours, clearing the twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge should be easy, right?"
The law comprehension needed for the tenth level of the Heavenly Bridge was equivalent to that of an Undying. The twelfth level already corresponded to a relatively powerful Undying.
Of course, the main issue was the enormous difference in baseline strength. Having Immortal Level comprehension did not necessarily mean having Immortal Level strength.
And the twelfth level already represented the basic requirement for clearing the Universe Level Tongtian Mountain. This meant Chen Ao might be among the very greatest geniuses in human history.
"How did you come up with such a frightening idea? I can only clear five levels! I've already failed the sixth several times!"
Luo Feng: ...
That World Lord's corpse hadn't even gone cold, and you're telling me this?
"Luo Feng, don't let your imagination run wild. My strength is very ordinary. I only kill World Lords through tricks!"
Luo Feng sneered. If I fucking believe you again, I'm an idiot.
You spout nonsense all day. There's nothing trustworthy about you.
Still, he was genuinely curious. Why did Chen Ao always hide his strength and talent?
He was clearly so strong, so why did he try so hard to blend into the crowd?
As far as Luo Feng knew, greater strength and talent were the only way to receive better training from the Virtual Universe Company.
There was no need to hide anything.
Even he did not truly want to hide his abilities. He merely wanted to stun everyone with a single brilliant showing!
"Senior, do you want to stun everyone all at once with a spectacular showing?"
Steady progress and a sudden eruption of talent produced different effects.
The former made people weary and numb, while the latter left them astonished.
"Luo Feng, you're really overthinking things. I'm just an ordinary person. What spectacular showing? I'll count myself lucky if the Virtual Universe Company doesn't kick me out!"
Hearing that, Luo Feng nearly threw the World Ring away on the spot to smash Chen Ao to death.
Seriously, couldn't he show even a little sincerity?
Rather than pursuing the subject, Luo Feng began traveling at full speed.
After that, Luo Feng and Chen Ao hunted Domain Lords and World Lords relentlessly. Before they knew it, they had killed nearly ten thousand Domain Lords and more than a hundred World Lords.
Their haul had also reached an astonishing fifteen thousand Blood Luo Crystals.
"Luo Feng, I've gathered all the Blood Luo Crystals I need. You can continue hunting on your own!"
Luo Feng nodded. Apparently, Chen Ao had come specifically to collect Blood Luo Crystals. In that case, there was no need to ask him to stay.
Taking his share of more than seven thousand Blood Luo Crystals, Chen Ao casually fused with a few.
This brought his gene multiplier to roughly eight hundred times.
Watching Chen Ao casually absorb twelve Blood Luo Crystals, Luo Feng was somewhat speechless.
He could currently only fuse with his second crystal and was still some way from fusing with a third. Yet Chen Ao had fused with twelve right in front of him.
And judging by Chen Ao's appearance, he clearly still had room to spare.
He had not truly reached his limit.
"Could Senior be a reincarnated Golden Horned Beast?"
His Golden Horned Beast could achieve the same thing, but Chen Ao was clearly an ordinary Earthling, just like him.
"Oh, right, Luo Feng. Forget what happened over these past few years. It was all a dream!"
Luo Feng: ...
Chen Ao did not belabor the point. Luo Feng was not a talkative person anyway, so after giving that instruction, he vanished and left.
"The boost from Highlander's Blood keeps getting smaller! At first, it was about sixtyfold. When my base gene multiplier reached five times, the boost was fiftyfold. Now my base is twenty-two times, but my total multiplier is only eight hundred. The boost isn't even fortyfold!"
Still, it was pretty good. His gene multiplier had reached eight hundred times, which was not weak even among special lifeforms.
With his genes enhanced, his strength increased, and his law comprehension improved as well.
Highlander's Blood still had tremendous potential, but he needed to hunt creatures of different races and obtain their blood.
He could not do that now, so he could only look for opportunities to hunt them later.
The Outer Domain Battlefield, perhaps?
But the Outer Domain Battlefield was too dangerous. He would not go there lightly. Between growing stronger and staying alive, he chose staying alive.
No matter how slowly he progressed, at least he would be alive.
After returning to the Virtual Universe, Chen Ao received a hundred thousand points for successfully obtaining a Blood Luo Crystal.
As for the second mission, becoming a Blood Warrior, he had accomplished it, but without a Blood Warrior Medal, it could not be counted as complete.
"Your Highness Chen Ao, I am speaking to you through the Virtual Universe. Everything I am about to tell you is classified at the highest level..."
"Mm-hmm, go ahead..."
The female voice: ...
Before you continue
