The gene enhancement soon ended, and Chen Ao's anticipation vanished.
"That's it? That's all?"
He had thought that, with the Heguang Tree's base gene multiplier at 1,200, the enhancement from his Highlander's Blood would smoothly bring it to the perfect gene level.
But the result disappointed him. It had only reached around 3,000 times.
The enhancement multiplier was actually less than three.
He couldn't accept this result.
"Still, the first stage of my Highlander's Blood is only at 60%. It's not surprising that it can only provide this much enhancement!"
The Sunken Water Vine's base was simply too high. With a gene multiplier of 6,000, it didn't even need a twofold enhancement to reach perfection, so naturally, that was easy.
But the Heguang Tree was only at 1,200 times, so the enhancement proved insufficient.
By contrast, the enhancement to his Nine Nether Sea clone looked rather better. Its base was 300, and the enhancement was nearly tenfold.
Thus, although the two clones' base gene multipliers differed by a factor of four, their enhanced results were almost the same.
Both were around 3,000 times.
He had anticipated this to some extent, but he hadn't expected the enhancement to be so low.
"Next, I can only let the Nine Nether Sea slowly grow! The Heguang Tree is nearly twenty million kilometers in size too. That's enough!"
His Nine Nether Sea clone was much weaker than Luo Feng's. Without the perfect gene enhancement, it couldn't grow to over ninety thousand kilometers tall and stood at a pitiful ten thousand kilometers instead.
Fortunately, he had money-far more than Luo Feng had possessed as a World Lord. He had poured resources into the Nine Nether Sea and forced it to grow to one light-year across.
There was no such thing as being unable to grow
