In one of the vast layers of the Star Tower, Luo Feng sat cross-legged, and his body began to grow.
"Bigger! Bigger! Bigger!"
In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng's height, which was initially just about one blade tall like an ordinary True God, skyrocketed far beyond the height of the elegant mountain in his cave that stood over a hundred thousand kilometers tall. That mountain now seemed like it was just a small toe in comparison to Luo Feng.
"The time and space of Origin Continent are incredibly stable, with strong suppression. Most True Gods are only about one blade tall. Even when I fully manifest my true form, I'm only 1.2 billion kilometers tall!" Luo Feng looked down at his towering true form, feeling a sense of awe. "The suppression on Origin Continent is indeed too strong. If I were in the original universe, my divine body would be far larger."
The difference between the two regions, in terms of time flow and spatial suppression, was stark.
In the original universe, True Gods were usually colossal in size.
"When I initially ascended from True God to Eternal True God in a short time, my perfect divine body hadn't reached its limit," Luo Feng understood that his miniature universe constantly absorbed chaotic energy, transforming it into divine power, which continuously fueled the growth of his divine body.
At every moment, he was growing taller!
A height of 1.2 billion kilometers was just part of his developmental phase!
"Over the long epochs on Origin Continent, there have been quite a few who possessed an infinite divine body," Luo Feng had gathered a great deal of information about infinite divine bodies. Among the previous bearers of the Broken East River inheritance, two were known to have infinite divine bodies.
But how tall could a perfect divine body grow during the Eternal True God stage? Luo Feng didn't know because there was no precedent.
However, he knew the limit of an infinite divine body!
"An 'infinite divine body' at the Eternal True God level can reach a maximum height of 3.6 billion kilometers in the environment of Origin Continent," Luo Feng pondered. "Since I have a perfect divine body, my growth limit should be even higher!"
"I'll just keep growing slowly," he thought.
Luo Feng closed his eyes and began studying the "Chaos Force Diagram."
With a perfect divine body, Luo Feng naturally wanted to maximize his advantages. He carefully selected from the vast array of inheritances he had received and chose the body refinement technique "Chaos Force Diagram."
"Refining the divine body to be like a treasure or weapon—there's a vast difference between a weapon that is a hundred kilometers tall and one that's billions of kilometers tall, even if the refining principles are similar," Luo Feng meticulously studied and understood this body refinement technique.
The "Chaos Force Diagram" was a seemingly ordinary chaos-level body refinement technique, but it was well-suited for those with massive divine bodies.
This technique had six levels.
The first three levels were at the Eternal level.
The last three levels were at the Chaos level.
"The first level of the 'Chaos Force Diagram' is 'Foundation Building,'" Luo Feng summoned some refining materials and began to refine them using secret techniques. With the strength of Luo Feng's perfect divine power, refining materials was relatively easy.
However, mastering the refining techniques, even after understanding them, required repeated practice.
"Refining tools is not easy! Refining 'Eternal True God-level weapons' is even harder," Luo Feng faced various challenges as he followed the refining techniques recorded in the secret technique.
The properties of materials, their combinations, the engraving of formation diagrams, and how different formations should be combined—all these were hurdles he had to overcome.
Each time he encountered a problem, he worked to solve it.
"Fortunately, I became an Eternal True God through comprehending the laws and fully understanding their essence," Luo Feng reflected as he practiced the refining techniques. "Those who reach the Eternal True God level through bloodline cultivation know the 'what' but not the 'why.' Without understanding the essence of the laws, learning refining techniques would be much more difficult for them."
In reality, mastering any top-tier secret technique was never easy!
Even if one acquired a secret technique, it didn't guarantee success in practicing it.
The further one progressed on the path of cultivation, the more challenging it became!
Only those who had thoroughly comprehended the essence of the laws and had built a solid foundation with each step had a chance of reaching the level of a god-king.
Time passed.
One day, two days, three days...
Each day on Origin Continent was equivalent to roughly a year in the original universe. Considering that time in the original universe flowed faster, with every second here equating to 10,081 seconds there, this meant that a day on Origin Continent was equivalent to 10,081 years in the original universe—one epoch.
Luo Feng's miniature universe, with a diameter of 100 billion light-years, frantically absorbed chaotic energy, condensing it into divine power that was connected to Luo Feng's True God heart, continuously fueling the growth of his divine body.
Within the Star Tower, Luo Feng's height of 1.2 billion kilometers gradually increased.
1.3 billion kilometers, 1.4 billion kilometers... 2 billion kilometers... 3 billion kilometers... As his height increased, more divine power was required, and his growth rate slowed.
Immersed in his study of the "Chaos Force Diagram," Luo Feng lost track of time.
"Hahaha, crossing into a different field really is challenging! Luckily, my understanding of the laws is deep, and this is just the first level of the 'Chaos Force Diagram'—Foundation Building. I've finally got it figured out," Luo Feng laughed.
"Oh?" Only then did Luo Feng notice that he had grown significantly taller. "I'm already 8 billion kilometers tall?"
This height didn't concern Luo Feng much. After all, according to his information, the infinite divine body at the Eternal True God level could reach a height of
"My divine body is still growing. It's best to wait until it stabilizes before refining it completely," Luo Feng thought. Otherwise, refining the body while it was still growing would waste a lot of materials.
"Time to study other secret techniques," Luo Feng, fully absorbed in his cultivation, continued to make progress.
Having just become an Eternal True God, he naturally wanted to improve in every aspect by practicing various secret techniques.
This constant growth was an intoxicating experience.
"Chaos Breaking Nine Blades," "Lie Yuan Technique," "Destruction," "Donghua," "Nine Abyss Realm"… Luo Feng immersed himself in these secret techniques during his seclusion.
He could always sense the chaotic laws manifesting in the nearby "Chaos Ruins," which further fueled his insights as he studied the secret techniques. Luo Feng felt a flood of realizations with each clash of different secret techniques.
Given his extraordinary talent, Luo Feng's rapid progress was only natural.
To have become an Eternal True God in the original universe and to have cultivated a perfect divine body in such a challenging environment, with a willpower that had reached the peak of chaos—Luo Feng's talent was beyond doubt.
...
Time continued to pass as Luo Feng remained deeply engaged in his cultivation.
By the time he had gained considerable mastery over several secret techniques, something significant happened—Luo Feng's now even more towering divine body suddenly stopped growing.
"Buzz~~~"
Far away in the original universe, his miniature universe, which had been absorbing chaotic energy at its limit, suddenly slowed its intake.
Luo Feng's divine body trembled, and he paused his cultivation.
"My divine body has stopped growing?" Luo Feng could feel new divine power accumulating in his True God heart, but it was no longer contributing to his body's growth. "I've finally reached the limit of the Eternal True God stage."
"Unknowingly, I've been on Origin Continent for 1.2 billion days—over one epoch," Luo Feng realized.
An epoch on Origin Continent was one billion days!
Luo Feng had been in seclusion for just over one epoch, which meant that 1.2 billion epochs had passed in the original universe. The constant absorption of energy by his miniature universe for such a long time had finally pushed Luo Feng's divine body to its limit.
"My current divine body height..." With a brief sense, Luo Feng knew his current height. "I've grown to 180 billion kilometers tall! That's five times the limit height of an infinite divine body at the Eternal True God stage, which is 36 billion kilometers."
His height was five times greater.
The vastness of his divine power was over a hundred times greater.
"At 180 billion kilometers tall, even within the space-time environment of Origin Continent, I'm taller than the walls of Huyang City, which only reach up to my knees," Luo Feng mused. "With such a colossal divine body, even those Chaos Masters who don't have infinite divine bodies won't be as tall as me."
According to his intelligence, even those who reached the Chaos Master level through bloodline cultivation, no matter how unique their bloodline or powerful their secret techniques, wouldn't surpass 100 billion kilometers in height.
Of course, in terms of divine power quality, understanding of chaotic laws, weaponry, and secret techniques, those Chaos Masters far exceeded Luo Feng.
Even when it came to soul techniques!
Soul techniques, though rare on Origin Continent, were something Chaos Masters could easily acquire a few of. They might not be as powerful as the "Lie Yuan Technique," but they had various applications.
Those who reached the Chaos level had already tempered their soul to an extremely high level! Combined with soul techniques, it would be very difficult for Luo Feng to severely injure them with soul power alone.
"In every aspect, I'm still far behind the Chaos Masters," Luo Feng thought as he felt the immense divine power within his 180 billion kilometer-tall body. "Now that my divine body has reached its limit, it's time to begin full-scale body refinement."
With a thought, the vast amount of materials he had stored in the Star Tower flew out. Luo Feng, now highly familiar with the refining process, began melting the materials, carefully controlling the proportions, and gradually integrating them into every part of his divine body.
Having thoroughly familiarized himself with every step of the first level of the "Chaos Force Diagram"—Foundation Building—and tested it with small amounts of materials, Luo Feng found the full-scale body refinement process to be smooth.
Day after day passed.
Refining a treasure with a height of 180 billion kilometers was an extremely intricate process, even with a complete understanding of the steps. Luo Feng's strong will ensured that every formation diagram was meticulously engraved without any mistakes. After more than three hundred days, he finally completed the first level of the "Chaos Force Diagram."
"I've finally completed the first level," Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief. "The refining materials I bought with 100,000 Universe Sand are almost gone."
Luo Feng felt a bit rueful.
"Just building the foundation consumed so many materials?" Luo Feng now recognized the only downside to having such a massive divine body—it required an enormous amount of resources for body refinement. "I thought 100,000 Universe Sand would be more than enough, but it was barely sufficient to complete the simplest first level."
"The second and third levels, which are far more complex and resource-intensive, will require how much Universe Sand? One million? Two million?" Luo Feng felt the pressure.
It was worth noting that someone like Heidomo only had treasures worth just over 10,000 Universe Sand.
Luo Feng had been fortunate this time, using the vast wealth from the rare "blue-purple blood crystal flower" to complete the first level of Foundation Building.
Luo Feng examined his divine body.
Within his massive divine body, now 180 billion kilometers tall, in addition to its original complex structure, there was now an additional layer of treasure structure. Dense patterns of secret inscriptions permeated every drop of blood, embedding themselves deep within every bone.
"The cost was high, but the effect is excellent," Luo Feng was very satisfied. "It's time to come out of seclusion."
With a thought, he stored the Star Tower and deactivated the formation seals in the underground palace.
Rumble~~~
The underground palace's passageways opened, and Luo Feng flew out, arriving at his cave.
It was nighttime, with cold winds howling, and the entire cave was silent—Morosa was not in the cave.
"Being in seclusion for just over an epoch is considered a short seclusion for an Eternal True God," Luo Feng thought. He had decided to enter seclusion and address his many weaknesses after being completely outmatched in his first battle on Origin Continent.
In just over an epoch, Luo Feng had made considerable progress in various aspects!
"You returned quite quickly!" Luo Feng looked up. As soon as he emerged from seclusion, Morosa immediately began hurrying back, as indicated by their soul bond.
"Whoosh."
A streak of black light flew into the cave—it was Morosa, holding a large jug of wine in one hand and a huge chunk of roasted meat in the other. From a distance, Morosa excitedly called out, "Master, Master, you're finally out of seclusion! I've been so anxious waiting for you."
