Chapter 285: King Hong Shi

"Only by implementing this policy can the Earth Lineage truly develop," Lei Shen agreed.

"After ten thousand years of development, Earth humanity has occupied the entire galaxy, and even the galaxy's habitable planets are insufficient. Therefore the four of us brothers jointly purchased the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star System to supply Earth humanity's growth," Hong Dao said. "Among the countless Earth humans—counted in the billions of billions—most are still merely ordinary star-level. Without our resource support, most would be at most planet-level, perhaps only apprentice-level."

The bloodline of a strong group's lineage will rise, not only because the strong possess the loyal love of the Cosmic Operation Law, but also due to massive resource investment.

Only this can quickly elevate the group's bloodline.

Otherwise, waiting for the Cosmic Operation Law to raise the group's bloodline might take tens of thousands of eras to see noticeable results.

"With such a massive population base, many strong individuals are produced, yet progress remains too slow; one must undergo life-and-death trials to birth true strong ones. Without a strong heart, merely having a realm won't take you far," Xiao Yu said.

The four of them, including Xiao Yu, shared the same view and quickly reached consensus.

Then the four of them, led by Xiao Yu, began casual conversation.

During the chat, Xiao Yu learned of Luo Feng's ten-thousand-year ordeal.

At the same time they captured 81 G-grade Metal Golems, causing the opponent a heavy loss, but the opponent's Probe Instrument was too advanced, so Luo Feng couldn't locate their trace, allowing Ciweika to flee.

Xiao Yu had previously entered the Hongmeng Alliance plane to inspect.

In the end, Luo Feng could only sell the many gains through his teacher Zhen Yan Wang, instantly netting as much as a hundred billion Mixed Yuan Units.

"Six-star—previously on Zijing Island I killed a High-level Cosmic Respecter, and was promoted to a six-star member," Xiao Yu replied.

After entering the Seventh Battlefield, Luo Feng spent a thousand years on Wu Sha Dao, independently creating the pinnacle art "Bright Moon Strategy." He then entered the main continent of Yan Ji Da Lu.

"Truly impressive! Third brother, even Immortal Level can reach a rank only the Universe Overlord can attain—amazing," Luo Feng sighed. Now Luo Feng has also become a Four-star Level member, same as his teacher Zhen Yan Wang.

"Later on Yan Ji Da Lu, I learned of the Sacrificial Tower, so I followed a friend into it, endured hardships, and finally, thanks to a clone of the Demon‑Killing Clan, obtained thousands of billions of Mixed Yuan Units of cultivation resources from the tower's treasure, as well as a Secret Pattern Weapon," Luo Feng continued.

On the main continent, while accumulating military merit, he faced repeated attacks by the Mechanical Race's Ciweika. When they unleashed the Nine-Absolute Divine Realm, he employed the Wu Wing‑Slaying technique, his self‑created pinnacle art, and three Immortal‑Level Thousand‑Vine Star‑Eating Herbs to finally break through their Nine-Absolute Divine Realm.

Consequently, Luo Feng received unanimous approval from 108 Universe Sage Level members of the Hongmeng Alliance, joined the Alliance, and became a one-star member.

Luo Feng not only killed that junior Seal King black‑armor youth, but also escaped from the encirclement by the supporting Death‑Spirit King, Jiu Jian King, and Ciweika, three alien Seal Kings.

"Third brother, how many stars are you in the Hongmeng Alliance now?" Luo Feng asked.

Afterwards, Luo Feng randomly met a Demon Race black‑armor youth who possessed items that attracted him; after killing him, he obtained a second Nine‑Tribulation Secret Scripture, as well as a Dream Light Divine Messenger Inheritance and numerous cultivation items.

After the great haul, Luo Feng intended to sell through Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu had not appeared in the Virtual Universe at that time and could not be reached.

"A Secret Pattern Weapon? I also obtained one before, but I no longer need it," Xiao Yu smiled faintly. "And whenever I wish, I can forge a batch."

The original inhabitants of the Sacrificial Tower exhausted their resources and could only craft a hundred Virtual Secret Pattern treasures, but Xiao Yu now leverages the entire Human Race's resources and his mastery of Secret Patterns, allowing him to produce far stronger and more Secret Pattern weapons.

"I told you, the Treasure Tower on our Earth is much like the Sacrificial Tower; turns out third brother previously obtained a Sacrificial Tower," Luo Feng said.

"So that was a Sacrificial Tower—truly wondrous; even the World Force couldn't be detected inside," Lei Shen said, rubbing his bald head.

"Second brother, if you wish, once I have time I can build you a Sacrificial Tower," Xiao Yu laughed. For him now, constructing a tower is a piece of work. He then looked at Luo Feng and said, "Luo Feng, continue."

"Not long after leaving the Sacrificial Tower, I also left Yan Ji Da Lu and went to the most perilous spot in the Seventh Battlefield, the Star Tower," Luo Feng continued.

On Yan Ji Da Lu, Luo Feng earned the title Daohe King.

"I know that—Luo Feng entered the Star Tower and vanished for 6,000 years; the outside world reported his fall," Lei Shen added.

Xiao Yu also heard that news; over six thousand years, although most of his energy was devoted to cultivation, his clone within the Seven-Colored Sacrificial Altar still learned some information.

"Does the Qian Wu Universe Country—or any other cosmic nation—have no interest?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Why none? The Sword Gate King has repeatedly sent negotiation teams to discuss with Xu Xin and Luo Hua!" Luo Feng smiled slightly. "But they were only probing, never daring to press too hard."

"That's right—we Earth Lineage aren't lacking strong ones; even if Luo Feng falls into danger, as long as third brother is still around, they wouldn't dare," Lei Shen said. "Moreover, after Luo Feng vanished in the Star Tower, soon after, elder brother Hong left Chaos City, entered the Seventh Battlefield, and there he truly slashed all sides, earning the name Hong Shi King."

"Later, elder brother went into the Star Tower to search for Luo Feng but couldn't find him. Until Luo Feng left the tower, elder brother received word, then left the tower and resumed life‑and‑death trials across dangerous sites of the Outer Realm Battlefield," Lei Shen continued.

"Later, Luo Feng returned to Earth, killed the Mo Hand King, avenging your teacher Hu Yanbo," Ba Ba Ta, a small devil figure, appeared on Luo Feng's shoulder, looked at Xiao Yu, then complained, "Xiao Yu, you claim such great power yet still wait for Luo Feng to take revenge."

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "I previously consulted Luo Feng; he expressed a desire to avenge himself, so I couldn't refuse."

The Mo Hand King, in Xiao Yu's eyes now, is far too weak; he could easily annihilate that king merely by using a clone.

Any of Xiao Yu's current clones, once they inhabit a Soul Split, have at least Seal King Invincible level strength.

"After slaying the Mo Hand King, I entered Ice Prison Star, spent over two thousand years there creating a unique art, then encountered the Lord of the Celestial Wolf. Thanks to the rescue by the Chaos City Lord, I finally escaped Ice Prison Star," Luo Feng continued.

"Ha ha, Luo Feng is truly impressive—using a Virtual World receiver, he traded with the Lord of the Celestial Wolf for a Beast God Inheritance Token," Hong sighed.

"To Luo Feng's luck—cheers!" Xiao Yu raised his cup.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Hong, Luo Feng, and Lei Shen each raised their cups.

After one round of drinks among the three.

Luo Feng continued, "Later, the teacher Zhen Yan Wang and I entered the Ancestor God Sect's Zijing Island. Earlier I even went to your residence looking for you, but no one emerged."
