On a beach on the west coast of the America, a giant beast lies on the sand, its body still twitching occasionally.
" Babata, when will Luo Feng succeed?" Thunder God asked anxiously.
They had been waiting here for three days and three nights. At first, the Golden Horned Beast struggled violently, but after a day it became still. Now, apart from the occasional twitch, the Golden Horned Beast made no movement at all.
This made the three people waiting anxious, much like fathers waiting for their babies to be born outside a delivery room.
"I don't know either. When he will wake up depends on Luo Feng's will. Although the Golden Horned Beast's state has been suppressed to the extreme, Luo Feng needs to completely destroy the Golden Horned Beast's consciousness and completely devour its soul in order to successfully possess it."
The Golden Horned Beast is, after all, Starry Sky Behemoth with peak bloodline. Even though its physical condition has plummeted to its lowest point, its will should not be underestimated.
"This is a legendary Starry Sky Behemoth! Can Luo Feng, a Planetary Level, really possess it so easily? If he fails, he will perish!" Thunder God said worriedly.
Hong said, "But if it succeeds, Luo Feng will have a smooth path ahead, with no obstacles before he Immortal; it's just a matter of time."
"Yes, even I envy such an opportunity. I still can't understand why Junbao would give it up so easily!"
Countless martial artists are stuck at each realm, unable to break through in their entire lives— the Universe Level, the Domain Lord Level, the World Lord Level. To cross over to the next stage requires countless efforts and opportunities, but none of these exist for the Golden Horned Beast.
Junbao actually gave up such a great opportunity to Luo Feng.
"Is your so-called 'path' really that important?" Babata sighed. "Aren't you two envious?"
"It would be a lie to say I'm not envious, but opportunities also depend on the individual."
Thunder God and I are indeed unsuitable for possessing the Golden Horned Beast. Besides, Junbao is right; our own path may not be inferior to others'. In the path of cultivation, if one doesn't even acknowledge their own path, how can they expect to become a powerful being?
While possession can certainly accelerate cultivation, I firmly believe that we may still have a chance to become Immortal.
After Thunder God and Luo Feng succeed, they will surely surpass us. It seems we need to work twice as hard in our future cultivation.
Junbao and Luo Feng are both stronger than us. Where do we, the two former strongest people on Earth, put our pride?
Hong laughed heartily.
"Yes, we have to work hard. I'm the third senior brother, I absolutely can't be the Little Third!" Thunder God laughed too.
The two sat cross-legged, an experience that served as an excellent opportunity for them to temper their minds. Only by seeing through the ways of the world can one comprehend the great truth.
Babata discovered that both Hong's and Thunder God's domains were evolving towards the First Order.
The realm is divided into nine levels, and beyond those nine levels lies the world!
And the world is something only World Lord can possess. But now, Hong's domain has reached the Fourth Layer, and Thunder God has also entered the Third Layer.
"What's going on? Why were they able to achieve enlightenment after seeing Luo Feng possess the Golden Horned Beast?"
Babata blinked, very curious about what had happened to Hong and Thunder God.
Zhang Junbao smiled. Hong and Thunder God both possessed extremely high levels of mental cultivation. This was why he wasn't worried that giving the Golden Horned Beast to Luo Feng would cause them to become jealous and resentful. He assumed they would understand the reasoning behind it. The ability to transform everything encountered into motivation for breakthroughs in cultivation was a truly terrifying talent.
If it weren't for the influence of Earthling' Gene Level, Hong and Thunder God would be rare top geniuses in the universe, simply because of their open-mindedness.
Zhang Junbao carefully observed the entire process of possession. In the original world, Luo Feng burned his soul and relied on Hu Yanbo's Inheritance Soul Crystal to break through the Golden Horned Beast's soul defense and successfully possessed it.
Now, with him and four Star Level slaves suppressing the Golden Horned Beast's soul, Zhang Junbao directly broke through the Golden Horned Beast's soul defense, allowing Luo Feng to directly possess it.
Logically, the success rate should be higher.
However, what truly happened inside the Golden Horned Beast's Soul Crystal Ball remains unknown to outsiders.
Inside the Golden Horned Beast's Soul Crystal Ball, Luo Feng saw a weakened Golden Horned Beast. However, the Golden Horned Beast was, after all, Star Level being, while Luo Feng was only Planetary Level, so his soul was much weaker.
Fortunately, the Golden Horned Beast wasn't at its peak either; their soul strengths were roughly equal. Therefore, the remaining battle of souls would be a contest of willpower.
The Golden Horned Beast was unwilling to accept this; it absolutely refused to allow its great self to be possessed by a human.
In Luo Feng's heart, the obsession with protecting the Earth built a strong defense for him, and the persistence in his heart made Luo Feng's Soul Will even more condensed.
" The Golden Horned Beast is just one of many powerful beings in the universe. Countless other powerful beings may discover Earth in the future. Earth is my home. If I can't even protect my home, what's the point of my life?"
Mom and Dad, Luo Hua, they will be killed by the cosmic powerhouse!
besides..."
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Luo Feng's mind: family, friends, everything was the reason for him to persevere.
Finally, a beautiful figure appeared in Luo Feng's mind.
"Keep it up, Luo Feng!"
The image of Xu Xin waving her little fist to cheer him on was deeply imprinted in Luo Feng's heart.
Since Luo Feng graduated from the Elite Training Camp, their relationship has quickly warmed up. With the support of Xu Xin's family, Xu Xin is also overjoyed.
For a woman from a prominent family like her, finding a man who is compatible with her and powerful enough for her family to accept is indeed not easy.
Xu Xin's radiant smile was, to Luo Feng, the most beautiful picture in the world.
" Xu Xin!"
No matter what, I must protect you!
Golden Horned Beast, die! Die!
Luo Feng's will went berserk as he launched an attack on the Golden Horned Beast, but the already weakened Golden Horned Beast, having only been born for a year, had little energy left to sustain the attack.
At this moment, Luo Feng's will was as strong as steel, shattering the Golden Horned Beast's few remaining attachments to this world.
In the end, Luo Feng completely shattered the Golden Horned Beast's consciousness and devoured its soul! After being replenished by the Golden Horned Beast's soul, Luo Feng's soul also rapidly began to grow stronger.
"Roar"
The Golden Horned Beast on the beach suddenly let out a low roar, alerting Zhang Junbao and the other two.
"Hahaha, it's Luo Feng! Luo Feng succeeded!"
Babata was the first to discover the situation. His intelligent Clone had always been connected to Luo Feng's Soul Imprint. For any life, the body is just a shell, while the soul is the most fundamental.
Even after possessing the Golden Horned Beast, Luo Feng's Soul Imprint remained unchanged.
Therefore, after Luo Feng successfully possessed the body, Babata was naturally the first to receive the message.
"Success?" Zhang Junbao, Hong, and Thunder God Shen smiled. Their long wait had finally paid off.
"Why isn't Luo Feng getting up yet?" Thunder God asked, seeing the Golden Horned Beast writhing on the ground.
"What's the rush? Even if you successfully possess the body, you'll still need some time to adapt and control the Golden Horned Beast's body," Babata explained.
" Luo Feng, you have now occupied the Golden Horned Beast's sea of consciousness, but the compatibility between your soul and its body is still very low. You need to take it slowly."
"When possession first begins, it's normal to have trouble even walking."
Moreover, the Golden Horned Beast's body is completely different from a human's; it requires time to get used to.
"Come on, try moving your eyelids first, take it slow."
The Golden Horned Beast slowly opened its dark golden eyelids, and a human-like look appeared in its previously cruel and ruthless eyes. Its gaze fell upon the three waiting figures, filled with excitement and gratitude.
" Junbao, I succeeded!" Through Babata's transmission, Luo Feng's voice came from his original intelligent Optical Computer.
"I've done so much, if you still don't succeed, then you'll just have to accept your fate!" Zhang Junbao said with a smile. "How does it feel?"
"Excellent!" Luo Feng said excitedly, "I will soon be able to fully master this body. Moreover, I have obtained the complete inheritance of the Golden Horned Beast. After a preliminary sorting, there are a total of 18 special secret techniques, 3199 ordinary secret techniques, and countless inherited knowledge."
This knowledge is stored deep in my memory and can be accessed at any time.
If all this knowledge were compiled into a book, it would be thousands of times more than all the books on Earth combined!
My God, so many inherited memories, it's terrifying.
"You're getting a good deal and still acting innocent! Others want it but don't have it!" Babata jumped out and said.
" Luo Feng, pick the important parts first. Tell me the general situation, and I'll arrange your future cultivation." Babata was extremely excited; he could already see the future rise of the Yunmo Star Lineage.
"Among the eighteen secret techniques, there are three Innate Secret Technique: enhancement, devouring, and Clone," Luo Feng continued, examining the materials.
"It turns out that when the Golden Horned Beast fought us before, its strength suddenly surged because it used Strengthening Secret Technique that could greatly increase its speed and attack power. This was one of the Golden Horned Beast's means of survival."
As for devouring, one can increase cultivation speed by consuming metal. Simply eat the hatched eggshell and then consume a large amount of metal; one can reach the Star Level within a year!
"What? One year? The Golden Horned Beast we fought to the death is only one year old?" Thunder God said speechlessly.
The Golden Horned Beast, which even the three strongest fighters on Earth couldn't kill despite their combined efforts (except for Zhang Junbao), was actually just a one-year-old baby?
As expected, the title of the pinnacle race in the universe is not just for show. They have cultivated for decades, yet they cannot even defeat a one-year-old child. Such a reality is enough to make most martial artists despair.
"It can grow rapidly by consuming large amounts of metal, which means that when it ate the war base, it was just eating." Thunder God asked excitedly again.
"That's right. If it grows normally, it takes a hundred years to go from the Star Level to the Universe Level, a thousand years to go to the Domain Lord Level, and ten thousand years to go to the World Lord Level."
However, if there is enough metal, the growth rate will be faster. The inherited memory contains the metal requirements for each stage, but unfortunately, the metal on Earth is far from sufficient.
"So the Golden Horned Beast devoured the war base before just to fill its stomach," Luo Feng explained.
"Haha, then you'll be a real money-devouring beast from now on. There's plenty of spaceship wreckage on Earth; that should keep you going for a while," Thunder God laughed.
"That's right, but to achieve the highest growth rate, we still need to follow the special metal composition."
Earth is not enough.
"Alright, once you've fully adapted, have Babata collect all the spaceship wreckage on Earth for you to eat. We should also go explore the universe!" Zhang Junbao said.
Hong and Thunder God nodded in agreement. The Earth was too small for them now. They longed for a wider world.
"There is also a third Clone Secret Technique, which can create three Clone by simply collecting a portion of the genes from a certain life form!"
"I've found a way to restore my human body, hahahaha..." Luo Feng laughed excitedly after seeing the Clone's properties.
Although he chose to possess the Golden Horned Beast for power, he still longed to be human again.
After all, Xu Xin was still waiting for him; he couldn't possibly stay with Xu Xin for the rest of his life in the body of the Golden Horned Beast.
The image of Beauty and the Beast flashed through Luo Feng's mind for only 0.0001 seconds before being ruthlessly shattered. It must be an illusion!
