"kill!"
In a corner of the Blood Continent, a full-scale war broke out between two world cities. Sky-level and Cloud-level experts, led by Domain-level experts, formed armies to fight against other world cities. Occasionally, even world-class powerhouses clashed.
In a battlefield of the Cloud Realm level, a man clad in black, wielding a crimson dragon spear, was frantically slaughtering the opposing warriors. Though also of Cloud Realm level, the other warriors were no match for him.
"genius!"
Seeing the man in black killing so recklessly, a powerful expert at the Domain level soon set his sights on him.
"Well done!"
The man in black, Zheng Hong, was also excited as he watched the approaching Domain Lord-level expert. Without using the Cloud-Piercing Vine to possess him, he was still able to contend with a Domain Lord-level expert solely through his own understanding of the laws.
Because he didn't have a clone, even with the Domain Lord-level Moyun Vine, Hong's life on the Blood Luo Continent was still very difficult, and he didn't dare to easily kill those territory city lords.
Fortunately, not long after, the entire Blood Luo Continent descended into chaos, with territorial cities and world cities inexplicably engulfed in war.
Seeing this opportunity, Hong directly joined a world city and participated in the war, hoping to obtain Blood Crystals through warfare.
"My current strength is enough to contend with a Domain Lord, but killing him would be much more difficult unless I use the Cloud-Piercing Vine or other treasures!"
While fighting his opponent, Hong even had time to think about other things; multitasking is a basic skill for martial artists.
"A mere peak Cloud Realm cultivator dares to be distracted while fighting me!"
The domain lord-level expert on the other side noticed Hong's distraction and instantly became furious, his movements becoming even faster.
Because of the environment of the Blood Luo Continent's cosmic secret realm and the Blood Luo Crystal, the average strength of the two stages, the Cosmic Level and the Domain Lord Level, in the continent far exceeds that of the original universe outside. Therefore, the difference between the Cosmic Level and the Domain Lord Level is quite significant.
"That's what makes it challenging!"
Hong became excited, wielding his spear, imbued with the fundamental law of light, with impenetrable force, giving his enemy no chance whatsoever.
……
Three days later, the war ended briefly, and both sides returned to rest and prepare for another battle.
He distinguished himself in the war, demonstrating his cosmic-level prowess in contending with the domain lord-level Hong, and was summoned by the city lord of the World City, who bestowed upon him numerous rewards and...
In the virtual universe—Rainy Mountain, Lu Yunhe, Luo Feng, and Hong gathered together.
"Brother Hong, you're going to be sent to the Temple of Immortality!" Luo Feng was shocked to hear this news.
“That’s right!” Hong nodded helplessly and said somewhat dejectedly, “I only wanted to kill enemies on the battlefield, but I didn’t expect that the city lord would think I had good talent and recommend me directly to the Immortal Temple.”
This opportunity is invaluable to the people of the Blood Luo Continent, but it's rather troublesome for Hong, a core member of the Virtual Universe Company. Aside from strategic resources like Blood Luo Crystals, he doesn't lack ordinary resources or secret techniques.
“The root of this matter is most likely the teacher!” Luo Feng said after a moment of thought.
"I?"
Lu Yunhe was somewhat puzzled. He had only killed an immortal god; it wasn't a big deal.
"Since you left, teacher, war has broken out across the entire Blood Luo Continent. The mastermind behind it should be the Immortal Temple." As a subordinate of the Blood Luo Continent's top genius, Luo Feng also received a lot of inside information.
"Why?" Hong was somewhat confused. What benefit would the Temple of Immortality gain from instigating a war that would spread across the entire continent?
"They want to cultivate geniuses, but the environment of the entire Blood Luo Continent is too comfortable!" Lu Yunhe had guessed something; heroes emerge in chaotic times.
War is the best catalyst for geniuses. Even the most advanced races in the primordial universe would create battlefields specifically to hone the geniuses of their races.
Because of the suppression by the Immortal Temple, the overall environment of the Blood Luo Continent is relatively peaceful, with few wars, and it is difficult for the world city lords to fight each other.
Meanwhile, Lu Yunhe's provocation led to a shift in the Immortal Temple's policies, creating an urgent desire to produce geniuses capable of changing the fate of their race.
“Brother Hong, this might be an opportunity!” Luo Feng suddenly said, “I heard from Ba Qi that this time is different from the past. The Immortal Temple will spend a lot of precious resources to cultivate these geniuses.”
Although the Immortal Temple is far inferior to the Virtual Universe Company, it is still a behemoth to them, and even a little bit of resources leaked from between their fingers would be enough for them to use.
“In the Virtual Universe Company, I would have to compete with geniuses from the entire human race, but in the Immortal Temple, there is only one genius from the Blood Luo Continent.” Hong was somewhat tempted.
Unlike Lu Yunhe and Luo Feng, who could easily level up while lying down, for Hong, both cultivating the laws and breaking through realms were extremely difficult and required a large amount of resources to improve.
"It is indeed an opportunity!" Hong nodded heavily. If he were to compete with Luo Feng and the others, he could only focus on the future. But when it came to competing with the geniuses of the Blood Luo Continent, he was, after all, someone who had survived the Cosmic Peak Genius Battle, and he had that much confidence.
If he could receive the nurturing of the entire Immortal Temple, Hong might have a chance to catch up with the two.
"If Brother Hong encounters any danger, you can call me anytime!" Although the opportunities in the Blood Luo Continent are important, Hong's life is more important to Luo Feng.
"Okay, if we really encounter danger, I won't hold back either."
Hong felt no resentment towards Luo Feng's words and could only work hard in secret to catch up with the two of them.
"You two keep it up. Just be careful not to get too caught up in the benefits of these missions. Life is the most important thing," Lu Yunhe reminded him, mainly because Hong didn't have a clone.
Whether or not one has a clone is often not a matter of strength or aptitude, but rather a matter of survival. Without a clone, Lu Yunhe wouldn't dare to be so reckless as he is now, choosing cultivation tasks so casually.
After completing the Dragon Tower Star mission, Lu Yunhe immediately set his sights on the next mission, choosing not a dangerous mission but instead aiming for a desperate one.
"The Demon Mountain contains the legacy of the Demon Sound God General, but unfortunately it is only suitable for spiritual practitioners."
Lu Yunhe was very envious of the Soul Amplification Secret Technique of the Demon Sound God General, but since he did not have a soulless clone like the Demon Slayer Clan, he could only obediently accept the God General's test.
"The remaining critical-level missions..."
Lu Yunhe looked at the tasks on the list and began to filter them one by one. Even if his true strength wasn't at the cosmic level, he still had to be careful with these extreme-level tasks; he never knew what he might encounter.
Chapter 157 Death Star
Just as Lu Yunhe was reviewing the extreme-level mission, his golden dragon clone, which was cultivating, suddenly showed unusual activity.
"I feel like I'm about to break through to the World Lord level. Take me with you this time!"
As a special life form, the Golden Dragon clone had already reached the ninth level of the Domain Lord level back in Chaos City. Later, it fused with the Blood Luo Crystal in the Blood Luo Continent, further advancing its genetic level and bringing it one step closer to the World Lord level.
Unlike ordinary races that need to break through various bottlenecks to break through their realms, these peak races and special life forms can overcome their bottlenecks by simply enduring time and resources.
"Realm Lord Level!"
Upon hearing the Golden Dragon Avatar's words, Lu Yunhe was suddenly moved. If the Golden Dragon Avatar could break through to the Realm Lord level, disregarding its combat strength and realm characteristics, its Spacetime Realm technique alone would be enough to save his life in front of immortal gods.
The missions assigned by the Virtual Universe Company, even those aimed at exploring the benefits behind them, might at most result in encountering immortal gods, and some might not even allow them to encounter immortal gods at all.
"If my Golden Dragon clone can reach the World Lord level, I could probably walk sideways in any situation except for the number one Desperate level mission!"
Lu Yunhe pondered, then suddenly realized that many dangerous missions were even more dangerous than those in the extreme realm, secretly harboring a host of immortal gods, such as the Immortal Temple on the Blood Luo Continent and the ruined ancient temple on Viska Star...
However, given the importance of the Golden Dragon clone, Lu Yunhe directly filtered out a bunch of missions, keeping only two extreme missions: "Mysterious Starfield" and "Death Star".
"Points aren't important, the difference isn't that big, but finding things is a bit of a hassle!"
Lu Yunhe glanced at the description of the "Mysterious Starfield." The entire starfield was comparable to a galaxy, incredibly vast. Even an immortal god would probably need hundreds of thousands of years to explore a single area.
"Then let's choose the Death Star!"
The Death Star—located in the Glory Realm of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, is a strange place born from the Cosmic Realm.
The location of the Death Star mission was named "Death Star Ring," and it covered an area with a diameter of ten light-years, making it incredibly vast.
Meanwhile, the entire land of death was divided into three levels: the absolute "death star" at the core with a radius of one light-year, the "burning land" with a radius of 1 to 4 light-years, and the "chaotic land" with a radius of 4 to 5 light-years.
Death Star Mission:
1. Survive in the Death Star Ring for 10 years and receive a reward of 10 points.
2. One energy storage core, rewarding 10 points.
3. Complete the Star Ring Corridor trial to receive a reward of 10 points.
"10."
Lu Yunhe glanced at the Death Star missions. The first one was a rare survival mission, but if the timeframe were extended to ten years, the difficulty should be much lower.
As for the energy storage core, it is the core of the unique creature, the energy-devouring beast, born from the land of the dead.
As creatures from the secret realms of the universe, the Energy Devouring Beasts are quite powerful, with most possessing the strength of a World Lord.
"It's a good time to complete the survival mission while waiting for the Golden Dragon Avatar to advance to the World Lord level, and then reflect on the gains made during this period."
Lu Yunhe pondered. The gains from the first two missions were immense, and he needed to properly organize his findings. He needed to comprehend the fundamental laws, practice the secret techniques, and not neglect improving his cultivation level…
Three months later!
"Hong has also entered the Temple of Immortality. I hope he's alright!"
Lu Yunhe looked at the simulated exterior of the spaceship, but he couldn't really see anything because the Death Star Ring was just too big, with a diameter of 10 light-years. To see it all, one would need to be at least at the level of a Cosmic Venerable.
"How desolate!"
Lu Yunhe discovered that the outer space of the Death Zone was extremely desolate, with vast stretches of dark space where not a single star could be seen. It seemed that all the light in this part of the universe had been taken away by the Death Star.
"The universe is empty?"
Filled with doubt, Lu Yunhe arrived at a palace outside the Death Star. Only after completing the mission handover could he officially proceed to his destination.
"Your Highness, this way please!"
A man in white robes helped Lu Yunhe into a spaceship, and then they began to fly to the outer layer of the Death Star Ring—the Chaos Lands.
"Your Highness, the spaceship's destination is the outer ring of the Death Star. You will be free to move around then!" the white-robed man said with a smile.
"Star Ring!"
Lu Yunhe thought of the Death Star's third mission, which was to pass the trials on the star ring.
"Death Star..."
Lu Yunhe was about to inquire about the Death Star when his expression suddenly changed. As the spaceship officially entered the Death Star's ring, his genetic energy suddenly began to drain away, seemingly being absorbed by some force.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, this is normal," the white-robed man said. "We have now entered the influence range of the Death Star, and the energy in our bodies will be continuously absorbed by the Death Star. Only immortal gods who have forged divine bodies can completely resist it."
"Energy loss!"
Sensing the energy being continuously drained from his body, Lu Yunhe calmed down and consciously resisted the suction force, immediately reducing the rate of energy loss by 10%.
"Living in a place like this for ten years is indeed a test!"
However, the surrounding environment simply absorbs energy, and timely replenishment won't cause too much of an impact; they can still fight normally. After all, for these cosmic-level members, very few of them fight solely on their own.
"and many more!"
Suddenly remembering something, Lu Yunhe quickly tried to communicate with the Golden Dragon clone, but the latter did not have its energy absorbed.
Seeing the change in Lu Yunhe's expression, the white-robed man continued, "The Death Star's devouring power only targets this part of the universe. If Your Highness has any treasures containing energy, you can place them in the World Ring, which belongs to another dimension."
