Chapter 173 Possession of the Golden Horned Beast
Seeing Luo Feng's worried expression, Xu Qing finally couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Luo Feng, you're right! You're absolutely right!"
He patted Luo Feng on the shoulder with a smile, the playfulness in his eyes completely disappearing: "Fortunately, you helped me see this person's true colors."
"I certainly won't accept such a heartless wretch. But to thank you for helping me avoid this trap, I'll reward you handsomely."
Xu Qing changed the subject, her tone filled with unwavering certainty.
"I'll give you six million mixed units first."
"Six million mixed units?!"
The number struck Luo Feng like a thunderbolt, leaving his mind blank and his breath catching in his throat. He instinctively tightened his clothes, his voice trembling, "Sir, you—you mean it?"
You should know that he is only at the ninth level of the Hengxing realm. Not to mention high-level currencies like Hunyuan units, he only occasionally sees one or two cosmic crystals.
Six million Chaos Units—this is a fortune that would drive even ordinary Immortals mad with envy! Countless Immortals toil for billions of years and their wealth might not even reach one percent of this amount, yet Xu Qing is going to bestow it upon him directly?
"Of course it's true." Xu Qing nodded with a smile, and before Luo Feng could recover from his shock, he dropped an even bigger bombshell: "In addition, I will grant you the right to possess the Golden Horned Beasts one by one."
Before he could finish speaking, and before Luo Feng could even open his mouth, Xu Qing flicked his fingertips, and the World Ring in his palm suddenly lit up with a faint light.
The next instant, a suffocating pressure suddenly spread out, and a shadow that blotted out the sky instantly tore the entire room apart.
A rumbling sound rang out.
The next moment, a ferocious beast with a body taller than Mount Everest appeared out of thin air. It was a behemoth with a body length of over three thousand meters!
Even with his head tilted back, Luo Feng couldn't see its entirety in front of it.
Its body resembles a lion, covered with black scales wider than skyscrapers, each scale edged with a sharp edge that sends chills down your spine. It also has a pair of wings that spread out to be a full 5,000 meters wide, covered with black scales and seemingly forged from steel!
Human skyscrapers are like dust beneath the feet of this behemoth.
Three sharp horns proudly poised to pierce the sky!
Golden patterns coiled around its long, black horn, these intricate patterns spreading from the horn down to its neck, then its entire back, and finally to its tail! It was as if it were clad in a suit of gold and black armor. Most chilling of all were its dark gold eyes!
A pair of huge, dark golden eyes, like the eyes of a god, looking down upon all things in the world!
A fierce glint lurked in his eyes!
It is a legendary, pinnacle bloodline in the universe! The Golden Horned Beast!
Judging from the length of its pointed horns and the astonishing pressure it exudes, this golden-horned behemoth has probably reached the cosmic level.
Luo Feng's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints, and the hairs on his body stood on end. Only now did he truly believe that Xu Qing was not joking.
He stared intently at the golden-horned behemoth, his lips trembling, unable to speak coherently: "This—possessing the golden-horned behemoth? My lord, this reward is far too precious! And—and I've lived for decades, long accustomed to being human, suddenly to be in the body of a behemoth—"
The hesitation in his words was impossible to hide. He envied the Golden Horned Beast's talent, but the idea of giving up his human identity was simply unacceptable to him.
Xu Qing raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, his tone tinged with amusement and exasperation: "Luo Feng, have you forgotten? The Golden Horned Beast's most core talent is 'Innate Clone.'"
"Once you possess the Golden Horned Beast, you can completely reshape your clone using your human genes. Its appearance and senses will be exactly the same as before, and it will not affect your life as a human."
Even with such a clear explanation, Luo Feng's fingers still tightened slightly as he looked at the powerful golden-horned beast in front of him, clearly still struggling with the decision.
"Here you go, just take it."
Xu Qing's smile remained, but his tone suddenly turned cold.
Before Luo Feng could utter another word of "no," Xu Qing spread his five fingers, and his divine soul power instantly filled the void, locking Luo Feng's soul in place.
Before the other party could react, Luo Feng's soul flew out of his body and was firmly held in his palm.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Qing flipped his wrist, and the soul in his palm, like a stream of light, was slapped into the core of the Golden Horned Beast with a "smack." The soul that was originally in the core of the Golden Horned Beast let out a silent wail and was instantly shattered, leaving not even a trace of remnant.
The entire process took less than a fraction of a millisecond, giving Luo Feng no chance to refuse.
Luo Feng didn't even see Xu Qing's movements clearly. He only felt dizzy and his perspective suddenly rose. When he looked down again, he saw countless tall buildings covering the ground like moss.
Meanwhile, "himself" stood there, dazed, smaller than a speck of dust, while Xu Qing smiled at him.
"What—what kind of speed is this?!" Luo Feng's heart was filled with shock.
"I took the Realm Lord's Pill, so even without cultivation, my thought speed is comparable to that of a Realm Lord. But has the gap between me and Lord Xu Qing become so vast that I can't even react to his movements?!"
"But I've become a golden-horned behemoth, I'm no longer human, this..."
Before he could think it through, memories accumulated over billions of years within the Golden Horned Beast's bloodline flooded his mind like a tidal wave, from the very beginning of the universe...
Even now, countless pieces of information from billions of years ago have exploded in my mind.
It wasn't until the secret technique of "talented clones" clearly surfaced in his memory that Luo Feng's mind slowly awakened, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, suddenly settled down. He secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, Lord Xu Qing didn't lie to me—there really is a way to reshape human clones."
Upon examining the Golden Horned Beast's memories, Luo Feng discovered that the beast had been eating quite well before its death, consuming only the best combinations of metals, which allowed it to reach the eighth rank of the cosmic level in just six years.
Upon further investigation of his memories, Luo Feng discovered that the gift Xu Qing had given him was truly enormous!
A golden-horned behemoth of the eighth rank at the cosmic level, with ten times the genes, twice the talent secret technique enhancement, three times the original body's world, and a full 60 times the power, is enough to kill an ordinary third-rank domain lord and fight to a draw with a fourth-rank domain lord!
If one grows to the peak of the Realm Lord, the power of a Realm Lord at 60 times the peak power is more than half the power of an ordinary Immortal, and one strike can destroy a planet!
And that innate secret technique of creating clones is even more heaven-defying, as it allows one to possess three clones!
This is the real reason why even immortals couldn't do anything about the Golden Horned Beast after it reached its peak!
"This is the Golden Horned Beast! Is this the true pinnacle of races?!"
Luo Feng was dumbfounded.
Having consumed elixirs for so many years and possessing such resources, he has diligently cultivated to the point where he can barely reach the level of fighting against a ninth-tier cosmic-level expert.
The golden-horned behemoth before them could eat and drink and wipe out their former selves hundreds of times with a single finger.
