Gains and the End
However, Lin Yaodong wasn't a sore loser, so after exhausting all his methods and still being no match for Hong, he naturally conceded defeat.
Continuing to fight is pointless; the outcome is already decided.
Domain, is that right?
If you can do it, so can I.
Lin Yaodong made up his mind.
Are you sure?
Chen Mo confirmed with Hong.
Hong wanted to fight Chen Mo to test his current level, and he also wanted to know just how strong the person who trained Lin Yaodong really was.
Hong clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Please grant my request; I apologize for any offense."
Hong gripped his spear and teleported to Chen Mo's neck, but he couldn't advance any further.
Chen Mo is protected by the Vajra Spell and the power of space. Unless his power can break through space, Chen Mo is completely untouchable.
Hong was not surprised and immediately activated his domain.
Only when Chen Mo experienced it firsthand could he truly understand the terror of the Hong Domain. Compared to the domains of the Douluo Continent and this world, it was utterly insignificant.
Although Chen Mo appeared calm and collected on the surface, he had already regarded Hong as an opponent of equal caliber.
If Chen Mo didn't possess spatial powers, Chen Mo might not be a match for Hong right now.
Chen Mo has a stronger foundation than Hong, but Hong has a stronger combat talent, while their cultivation levels are roughly the same.
After Hong opened his domain, his strength increased greatly, and he could even control the space around him to a certain extent.
Hong Da raised his spear, aiming straight for Chen Mo's chest. In an instant, the previously unbreakable invisible wall shattered, and the spear pierced through Chen Mo Chen Mo with unstoppable force.
Hong immediately looked surprised.
Chen Mo laughed, "That's brilliant. You actually thought you could hurt me."
Hong protested, "That would be perfect."
Hong shook his spear, increasing the energy output to it.
At the same time, Chen Mo's energy consumption is also increasing.
That's a really sharp combat instinct.
Chen Mo used a Spatial Jump to arrive behind Hong, ready to end the battle.
However, just as Chen Mo leaped behind Hong, Hong's spear arrived.
Although Hong could not sense Chen Mo's presence, his countless battles had honed his excellent combat skills. The moment he saw Chen Mo disappear, without any hesitation, relying solely on his intuition and instinct, Hong aimed behind him.
Forced to remain in Intangibility, Chen Mo Chen Mo showed no anger, but his True Essence was rapidly dissipating.
Chen Mo knew he had to end the battle as soon as possible, otherwise there was a risk of disaster, and dragging it out for too long would also damage his image.
Chen Mo now presents himself as a powerful, reclusive master in front of everyone. If he wins too humiliatingly, Chen Mo will lose face.
Since that's the case, don't blame me for using cheats.
Chen Mo made a hand seal with his left hand, while controlling the Yin Yang Mother-Child Curved Blades, which had been upgraded to a magic weapon, with his right hand.
"Certainly!"
As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, Hong felt completely paralyzed. This state didn't last long, not even 0.1 seconds.
However, when Hong took control of the body, two curved knives were already pressed against his neck.
No one saw the trajectory of the two curved blades. The Yin Yang Mother-Child Curved Blades appeared out of thin air, directly on Hong's neck, and no one had time to react.
Seeing this, Hong had no choice but to retract his spear and admit defeat.
"Thank you for your mercy, I lost."
Chen Mo: "Your potential and combat awareness are quite good. Once your domain is activated, you will be invincible among those of the same level. Normally, Planetary Level cannot defeat you."
However, this does not mean you can defeat all Planetary Level opponents or be invincible within your own level. It only guarantees that you will not be defeated among opponents of the same level, not that you can defeat any opponent.
You must remember this.
Hong: "Thank you for your guidance, Hong. I am extremely grateful."
Chen Mo stared intently at Hong, while Hong hesitated greatly.
Chen Mo had already taken Thunder God as his disciple, and naturally he didn't want to give up on Hong either. Hong knew what Chen Mo meant, but while he wanted to, he also felt some resistance in his heart.
Hong knew very well that following Chen Mo would definitely allow his strength to advance by leaps and bounds, but from then on he would have an elder above him, and Hong did not want to be inferior to him for no reason.
Seeing this, Thunder God tugged at Honnold's sleeve.
Thor and Thunder God have known each other for many years, and they are both rivals and friends. Now that Hong has the opportunity to become stronger, Thunder God doesn't want him to miss it.
There's also his own little scheme: he can't just have an extra senior uncle for no reason; you have to share the burden too, so that I won't be able to use this against you later.
With Thunder God's advice, Hong no longer hesitated and, like Thunder God, knelt on one knee.
"Hong, I humbly request that you accept me as your disciple."
Chen Mo smiled, a smug smile. With two of Earth's future supreme powers becoming his disciples, what more could he ask for?
On Earth, the best opportunities have never been extraterrestrial technology or various inheritances, but rather human beings.
More accurately, it is life nurtured by Earth. Although the lower limit of Earthling is low, Earth was nurtured by a super elder Sitting Mountain Guest, whose knowledge is stronger than that of any Universe Strongest. Chen Mo even suspected that the elder had exceeded the tenth level and reached a realm that Chen Mo could not even imagine.
For example, Manka Star is a world nurtured by Giant Axe, the Universe Strongest. Adults there have the strength of Domain Lord Level. In terms of knowledge, the Sitting Mountain Guest himself is God King of Jin, many times stronger than Giant Axe.
Earth was created by him, after all. Although its lower limit is low, its upper limit is equally frighteningly high. Moreover, all humans born on Earth have very special souls.
In the original work, Luo Feng was able to become the strongest in the universe, break through to the Void True God and even the Eternal True God, and lead the human race to stand firm in the long river of time, not for any other reason than that he was born on Earth. He is Earthling, and the protagonist can only be a life form from the Earth system.
This is inevitable. The reason Luo Feng was able to achieve such success is because he matured early on.
After the new era on Earth, humanity became the first life form to meet the basic requirements of the Sitting Mountain Guest, which is why the Sitting Mountain Guest gave him a chance to become the master of the Star Tower. If Luo Feng failed, the next candidate would be Hong, followed by Thunder God, until a life form born on Earth meets the Sitting Mountain Guest Sitting Mountain Guest's requirements and becomes his disciple.
Therefore, the most precious thing on Earth is these humans. Although their potential is weak in the early stages, their chances of breaking through to higher realms in the later stages far exceed those of humans on other planets and the various branches of humanity.
Take Hong, for example. He broke through to become the Universe Strongest, the Phantom True God, all by himself.
Thunder God also broke through to become the Universe Master later on.
Furthermore, after Luo Feng regained control of Earth, the Netherworld Lineage Galaxy Faction, which he cultivated with the Netherworld lineage, produced countless geniuses and powerful individuals, most of whom came from Earth. Once the Earth Lineage has sufficient resources, powerful individuals will continue to emerge.
It's a pity that Chen Mo is still too weak at the moment. Even if he obtains Earth and becomes its master, he will not be able to protect this foundation.
At the very least, one would need to reach the eighth-level Daluo realm, or even the ninth-level Primordial Chaos Hunyuan, to have any chance of controlling the Earth.
There's no way around it; there are just too many powerful beings in this world. There are more than a dozen human Universe Master alone, and two True God. Among Central Plains Ancestor is someone who could break through to the Void True God realm at any time, but unfortunately, he was suppressed by the Primal Universe.
Moreover, the human race is currently in the third era, with two more eras of life ahead of it, all residing in the Universe Ocean. Even Universe Venerable there lack the ability to protect themselves; only Universe Master dare to venture there to explore and seek opportunities. The Universe Master and True God of two eras have gathered there, along with a multitude of eighth and ninth-tier elders Devouring World. It truly represents the ceiling of the Great Thousand World; it is simply too powerful.
Furthermore, there is the Origin Continent. Chen Mo will definitely take Luo Feng as his personal disciple. Luo Feng is very kind to his own people and is not like Tang San at all. If he can become his master, he will have at least an Eternal True God as a fighter in the future. The combat power of Eternal True God will definitely reach the tenth level, and he will not be weak even among those at the tenth level.
After accepting Hong as his disciple, Chen Mo also gave Hong a gift and a Thunder God token, treating him the same as Lei Shen. Chen Mo was never stingy with any martial arts techniques that Hong could use.
Afterwards, Chen Mo extended an olive branch to Isadora, Isadora naturally accepted. Now that the world's top three strongest individuals had joined, he also wanted to benefit from their success.
In the original story, facing certain death, Isadora did not hesitate to give up his life to help Luo Feng kill the Golden Horned Beast, all for the sake of a single possibility.
Whether it's Isadora or Mohanderson who comes today, Chen Mo wouldn't mind taking them in. But if it's Atkin, then forget it. Chen Mo doesn't need scum like that with such a bad character.
However, Thunder God and Hong were inner disciples, Isadora was an outer disciple. The jade token given to Isadora was clearly of a lower grade, with "Master of All Heavens" on the front and the words "Outer Disciple" on the back.
Furthermore, the benefits he received from Chen Mo could never compare to those from Hong and Thunder God.
Chen Mo still needed to maintain proper etiquette regarding closeness and hierarchy, otherwise it would easily cause dissatisfaction among his disciples.
After all, it's a fact that Hong and Thunder God are stronger and more talented than Isadora. Isadora has no complaints about this; the strong should receive more, which is an immutable law of nature.
Moreover, Isadora also obtained things that were more suitable for him: some mental cultivation techniques and some body-refining methods, plus several treasures and technological products.
The things Chen Mo gave him alone were enough to make the trip worthwhile; they even exceeded all of Isadora's current wealth.
As for the lucky beauty Yin Shabei'er, Chen Mo only gave her some financial assistance and did not accept her as a disciple on the spot. He only promised that if she could break through to the Planetary Level before he left, Chen Mo would be willing to give her the opportunity to become his outer disciple.
Chen Mo set four standards for his disciples: outer disciples in the assessment period, inner disciples who have been officially admitted, personal disciples whom he personally teaches or who have taken it a step further, and finally, core disciples who have fully grown and can become his assistants.
Lin Yaodong is currently in a position somewhere between a direct disciple and a core disciple.
When the secret realm ended, the powerful humans who had gathered there did not disappear, because the true ruins began to appear.
The Thousand-Faced Witch originally transformed parts of the ruins from the previous great battle into that state in order to choose a suitable master. When the gate opened, the original appearance of the ruins was fully revealed to everyone.
Those War God Level warriors who were unable to enter the secret realm explored the ruins left by the great battle. Many Wargod- level warriors obtained a lot of treasures here, some even more than the warriors who entered the secret realm.
Therefore, the powerful individuals who emerged from the secret realm naturally stayed to continue their treasure hunt upon seeing this situation. Of course, some also left, since they had already reaped substantial benefits and there was no need to risk their lives for any potential gains.
Chen Mo didn't participate in any of this. He had already obtained the greatest treasure of this trip, and he didn't think much of the things under the ruins. Besides, even if there were treasures there, they were all of low value. The real good stuff had already been taken by the Thousand-Faced Witch, so how could it be their turn?
Where do you think those treasures in the secret realm came from?
Aside from what was already stored in the spaceship's vault, most of the items were salvaged from the ruins. In other words, the remaining things in the ruins were junk that even the Thousand-Faced Witch wouldn't bother with, so why should Chen Mo waste his time here?
Time flies, and another three years have passed. During this time, Chen Mo successfully raised his cultivation to the Mid Golden Core, while Lin Yaodong reached the Planetary Level Four, with their cultivation levels being roughly the same.
However, Lin Yaodong remained preoccupied with the concept of a domain, believing that comprehending a domain was something that couldn't be forced.
Although Lin Yaodong is excellent, he is no match for Earthling in this aspect. Earthling are able to comprehend realms that are normally only comprehensible at the Universe Level at the Planetary Level because of their special souls.
It's not that Lin Yaodong has absolutely no chance, but it's much more difficult, and the success rate is extremely low. Chen Mo has never told him this harsh truth, taking it as encouragement for him.
Chen Mo had also secretly observed Li Shiyin. She had reached the Planetary Level Two Spirit Reader and the Peak Foundation Establishment in immortal cultivation.
Chen Mo thought she had used some method to overdraw her potential to achieve this, but it turned out Chen Mo was overthinking it; Li Shiyin's foundation was better than Chen Mo's own.
This left Chen Mo somewhat frustrated: who exactly was cheating?
I'll just put it up for you, then you can come and play.
Just as Chen Mo was secretly observing Li Shiyin, she almost discovered him. It seems that it won't be long before Li Shiyin's cultivation surpasses Chen Mo's.
During these three years, Chen Mo was not idle. He also sowed many seeds, mainly seedlings that could cultivate immortality.
For the past three years Chen Mo has been traveling all over the world. Whenever he encounters a human with spiritual roots, he tests them using the secret realms and spatial powers he now possesses. Once they pass, Chen Mo bestows upon them a jade slip, on which are engraved cultivation techniques and some knowledge of cultivation suitable for them...
