Chapter 1436: The Life Diagram of a Sector Beast

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Primal universe, human territory, Milky Way Holy Land.

The mighty endless Remote Ocean was peaceful without any ripples.

Hua!

A nine-story tower came flying over from the void space far in the distance. It flew all the way over to the upper skies of the boundless Remote Ocean.

“It’s Star Tower!”

“It’s Milky Way Horde Leader’s Star Tower!”

There was originally a big batch of great beings congregating within Milky Way Holy Land. Other than a few true gods, there were over 100 universe masters present. Undoubtedly, it was easy for such a big group of them to quickly notice the nine-story tower appearing in the upper skies of the boundless Remote Ocean, which also happened to be one of Luo Feng’s signature treasures.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

Numerous figures teleported over as quickly as they could.

“It’s them.”

The doors of Star Tower opened, and Luo Feng, garbed in a white robe, walked out. From afar, he looked at the numerous great beings rushing toward him. Behind him, Fire Dome and Hong appeared.

“Milky Way Horde Leader.”

“Teacher.”

A group of more than 100 great beings had rushed over and bowed with reverence, but they could not conceal the sense of urgency in their eyes. Most of them were high up the social ladder of the human race, so most certainly, they would have heard news about the battle between Luo Feng and the Sector Beast. The Sector Beast was the greatest enemy of the entire Universe Ocean. It could possibly destroy all the races. How could they not feel a sense of urgency?

“Hmm.” Luo Feng nodded.

“Milky Way Horde Leader,” a gray-skinned man said deferentially but anxiously. “We have all heard news about the battle between Milky Way Horde Leader and the Sector Beast, and we are curious about the Sector Beast calamity… Are you confident?”

The others all looked toward Luo Feng. They were unable to ask any further questions, so all they could do was ask Luo Feng if he had self-confidence.

Luo Feng looked at the group of universe masters before him. He understood that this group just required a little more faith. They were feeling helpless against the Sector Beast. There was simply nothing else they could do.

“Horde Leader…” They all looked at him expectantly.

Luo Feng’s gaze swept through the numerous human great beings. Then, nodding slightly, he replied, “Yes!”

Instantly, a handful of masters showed a spark of joy.

Fire Dome True God took a step forward and said in a straightforward manner, “Teacher still has some important matters to tend to. Everyone can take your leave now.”

“All right.”

Having received such a reply from Luo Feng, the universe masters, though not completely at ease, were now more reassured with a glimmer of confidence! One by one, they took their leave in a most respectful manner.

Fire Dome True God and Hong looked one another in the eye. They did not further impose on Luo Feng. They both knew that this time, Luo Feng had important matters to see to.

******

After watching everyone leave, Luo Feng’s gaze became aloof. He whispered, “The humans are insecure, unsettled, fearful, worried… yet regardless of how impressive a great being is, in the face of a Sector Beast calamity, no one will be able to guarantee 100 percent confidence. Even me. I have no confidence at all. Because no one knows how terrifying the Sector Beast will become toward the end.”

Luo Feng shook his head. The unknowns gave rise to the greatest fears. Even the documentation conducted on Sector Beasts in the World of Jin consisted of records made after the Sector Beasts entered their “growth period,” and even those were merely legends. This was why there was no detailed information to be had.

He had obtained some information from a Sector Beast that had only just entered the third stage. Undoubtedly, the information was a far cry from the information that might be obtained from the final form of the king of the Sector Beast.

“Let’s begin.” Luo Feng turned to look at Star Tower. It was suspended by the side. “I hope this blood of the Sector Beast does not disappoint me.”

Hong!

At that moment, the water of Remote Ocean beneath him started to get turbulent with rolling waves. In an instant, the rolling waves surged up to become towering waves ten million kilometers high. These massive waves enveloped Star Tower in its entirety. Star Tower was completely submerged. The height of the waves in Luo Feng’s original location also increased by leaps and bounds, reaching a height of 100 million kilometers. Compared to the diameter of the boundless Remote Ocean—which was as wide as twelve light years—this was relatively inconspicuous.

Amidst the great waves was a vacuum, and Star Tower was suspended within this vacuum.

“The blood of the Sector Beast contains a force that is the complete opposite of godly power. The slightest carelessness, and I will probably be annihilated.”

Clothed in a white robe, Luo Feng looked at Star Tower beneath him. Relying on its suction force, Luo Feng was controlling the drop of black blood, which was also suspended in the vacuum. He did not dare to use his godly power to handle this blood, as he feared that any contact made with it would cause it to be accidentally annihilated.

Previously, he had recreated Sector Beast Morosa with the help of Whirlpool World. He had directly sucked the blood of Sector Beast into Star Tower, which he had used as the storage vessel for this blood. All along, he had never come into contact with it via his godly power. Then Luo Feng had divided the Sector Beast blood into 16 portions. He feared that, should he be a little careless, he might accidentally annihilate this blood. This time around, beneath the base of Star Tower, was one of those 16 portions. It was one drop of Sector Beast blood.

This drop of blood was entirely black in color and was more beautiful than any diamond. With a diameter of around one kilometer, there was no way it could be further cut up. Undoubtedly, this was as small as it could get.

“Talent technique… Creation!”

White-robed Luo Feng looked at the drop of black blood suspended in midair. Then, with a move in his mind, Remote Ocean immediately executed the talent technique right away.

Buzz!

The surrounding space fell into the enshrouded region of this talent technique.

This drop of black blood that was originally so mysterious was rapidly being stripped of its mysterious outer layer under the execution of this technique. The internal structure was speedily analyzed by Luo Feng, and there was a continuous indication that this blood was made up of various spots of light—a total of 100,000 light spots. Each spot was then further dissected. These light spots were…

“Roar!”

A miniature Sector Beast, all black in color, with two heads, a pair of hands, and a pair of legs, standing in an upright posture, was roaring.

100,000 light spots. And upon being dissected, many superb, miniature Sector Beasts were found. Some tilted their heads back and roared. Some were bending over. Some were waving their claws. Some were in deep slumber. Some stood aside in silence…

An even deeper level of analysis found that every miniature Sector Beast was said to be the most profound Rhinoceros Emperor Game, which far exceeded any other Rhinoceros Emperor Game Luo Feng had ever comprehended. It was mysterious and unpredictable.

At that moment, Remote Ocean body entered the space of cultivation within the Boat of Mausoleum and was continuously comprehending and analyzing at top speed under an environment where time was accelerated at a rate of 10,000 times.

The life structure diagram from a single drop of Sector Beast blood was much more complex than the life structure diagram of any other true god or true god of void space Luo Feng had ever encountered!

Because of his status in the World of Jin, from the trillion of eras, Luo Feng might certainly have obtained some scales, armor, hair, and blood samples of true gods of void space. He might even have obtained samples from life forms at the eternal true god level.

What a pity! The life structure diagram of an eternal true god was simply unfathomable. It exceeded Luo Feng’s span of comprehension. Although he was able to understand the life structure diagrams of true gods and true gods of void space, for Luo Feng—who had already attained up to 89,999 times life gene level—the help obtained was not significant. This Sector Beast was, after all, the noblest life form in all of Universe Ocean.

Luckily, it was still in the gestation stage, so Luo Feng could still keep tabs on it. If it went up by one more level, it would have become too profound, and Luo Feng might not have been able to analyze it at all.

“My talent technique can only analyze up to this level. The life structure diagram of a Sector Beast is indeed incredibly complex. True gods and true gods of void space are entirely different.”

Luo Feng’s brows were closely knitted as his consciousness operated at an extremely fast pace. At 10,000 times the rate of normal time, he had memorized a tremendous amount of information. Yet, going deeper, he realized that these were two completely different methods.

It could be understood this way: True gods, true gods of void space, and Sector Beasts were all fundamentally different in regards to their life structure diagrams! They were all composed of different structures.

Previously, Luo Feng had not attained a complete understanding of this. Universe masters, true gods, and true gods of void space were equivalent to the elements of music: do, re, mi, fa!

But the sector beast was more like the binary code of a computer language, which was made up of ones and zeros! All of them were composed of different essential elements! This could be based on one theory: a life form from Universe Ocean was essentially different than a Sector Beast.

“If I truly become a true god, then the path I take will be completely different from the average true god,” Luo Feng said to himself. “How will it help me?”

Luo Feng was frustrated. Just a while ago, he had somewhat gained a flash of comprehension (10,000 times acceleration was equivalent to more than three days). He had already realized that the life structure diagram of the Sector Beast represented another vast world. It also represented another route! That route, in turn, represented a future that was just as vast as the world the life structure diagram represented. The thing was, it was very difficult to comprehend something from it.

“I am really at my wit’s end.”

In order to create a race capable of proliferation and to study the life structure diagrams, I have already spent up to a trillion eras. Yet I am stuck at this final step.” Luo Feng shook his head, “Now, let’s comprehend first and hope that this Sector Beast blood can finally lead me to the enlightenment of my soul…”

Luo Feng thought no more and immediately immersed himself in comprehending the diagrams instead.

******

Peace and quiet returned to Universe Ocean.

Luo Feng’s Mosha body and Remote Ocean body went onboard Star Tower while his Golden Horned Beast body boarded the vessel and remained stationed in Universe Ocean to stay vigilance at all times while waiting for the Sector Beast to reappear. The Boat of Mausoleum was left in the boundless Remote Ocean, where Luo Feng had left a body sustained by godly power in the space of cultivation to carry out comprehending and cultivation.

Time passed. The various races were still worried, but, in the blink of an eye, 1,000 years passed. The Sector Beast did not reappear in all that time, thus giving credibility to Luo Feng’s claim that at least for a short period of time, the Sector Beast would not reappear.

******

Virtual universe, in an area in space that solely belonged to Luo Feng.

Amidst that lonely void space, a palace was afloat. On the public square before the palace, there was no one but Luo Feng. Clothed in a white robe, Luo Feng sat cross-legged without uttering a single world. He was looking far out into the distance at the numerous stars that filled the dark void space.

Shua! Shua!

Two figures appeared out of thin air.

“Father.”

“Father.”

Two stylish-looking youths walked over. Luo Feng usually forbade ordinary great beings from entering this place, even if they were his disciples. On normal days, not a single one of them was qualified to enter without permission—with the exception of days when Luo Feng wanted to give lectures. As for the other true gods, only during crucial times would they be granted the right to come over. However, there were some who could turn up here anytime they wished, such as Primal Chaos City Leader, True Yan, and… his family!

“Luo Ping, Luo Hai.” Luo Feng turned around to look at the spot not far away, where his two sons had appeared. The endlessly long period of a trillion years had certainly brought many changes to Luo Ping and Luo Hai. They were no longer the same men they had been when they were young. Now, they were more determined in the journeys they wanted to take in life.

“Father,” Luo Ping said. “We are here because of the Sector Beast… We are worried and would like to know more from you, Father.

“Worried?” Luo Feng took one look at his two sons, then turned away to look far off into the endless void space.

Who was not worried? Confronting a Sector Beast, even he was worried. But the other races had pinned all their hopes on him. And he… who could he pin his hopes on? No one! He had no other great beings to rely on; he only could depend on himself. He was worried that if he could not stop Sector Beast, the entire human race, the pulse of Earth, and his beloved family would perish.

Yet, because of this worry, he no longer held on to any fear!

“I… I am only allowed to do my best! I have no path for retreat!” Luo Feng was convicted. “Right down to the final hour, if I have yet to level up to the third stage of the godly power route, then even if my godly body cannot achieve a breakthrough, I will immediately become a true god, gain stronger combat power, and fight this battle with all I’ve got.”
