Chapter 51: Legacy Quest
Over the next few days, Luo Feng spent the time he usually dedicated to hunting monsters chatting with his family and going on dates with his girlfriend, Xu Xin.
Amidst this peaceful routine, Luo Feng’s strength continued to surge at a rapid pace.
Regarding his basic martial artist physical fitness and spiritual read power, he had already reached the limit of the ninth stage of the apprentice level. Unless his genetic multiplier increased, he would have to break through to the planetary level before he could continue pushing those limits.
As for other aspects—such as his force multiplier, blade techniques, movement agility, and telekinetic skills—they had all reached a relatively high level for Luo Feng at this stage, and none of these could be easily broken through or elevated in a short period.
However, the Giant Elephant Particles were different. The Giant Elephant Particles constituted a special secret art of explosive power; as long as there was sufficient energy, one could continue cultivating them indefinitely... with the only restriction being the limit of what one's own physical body could endure.
With Luo Feng’s current physical constitution as a peak ninth-stage apprentice and peak God of War, possessing a single genetic multiplier, the absolute limit of force from the Giant Elephant Particles he could withstand was one hundred times.
A peak God of War possessed a baseline of 512,000 kilograms of force, and one hundred times that amounted to 51,200,000 kilograms. Converted into tons, that was over 50,000 tons!
This roughly corresponded to the baseline strength of a tier-five planetary-level powerhouse.
Given that a single Giant Elephant Particle contained 100,000 kilograms of force, it meant that at the peak God of War stage, Luo Feng's body could maximally withstand the simultaneous explosion of 512 Giant Elephant Particles. Once this threshold was exceeded—for instance, detonating 600 Giant Elephant Particles—his body would "crack" and suffer damage. If it exceeded the limit by too much, such as detonating 6,000 Giant Elephant Particles at once, Luo Feng's physical body might even instantly shatter into a mist of blood.
After all, the Giant Elephant chapter secret art was merely a power-explosion technique created by consolidating the collective wisdom of all martial artists on Earth, costing less than ten thousand points of energy. It could not fundamentally elevate the strength of a life form. If one wanted to fundamentally elevate a life form's strength, that would involve the genetic multiplier level.
In the primal universe, there were quite a few treasures capable of elevating the genetic multiplier, such as Blood-Lu crystals, but there was only one secret art capable of naturally elevating the genetic multiplier—the Nine-Knot Astral Canon!
If it were the genuine Prison-Suppressing God-Elephant Art, it might perhaps achieve the elevation of the genetic multiplier, but what Luo Feng was currently cultivating was merely an ultra-super-downgraded version of a downgraded version, so naturally, that was impossible.
"I have now completely condensed 23 Giant Elephant Particles, which is still a very long way from my physical limit of 512 Giant Elephant Particles."
Inside the courtyard of the villa, within the silver-white gravity chamber, Luo Feng thought to himself while continuing to condense Giant Elephant Particles.
The condensation speed of the Giant Elephant Particles depended on his own baseline physical constitution. Given his current foundation, his daily condensation progress was around 50,000 kilograms.
In other words, he could completely condense a single Giant Elephant Particle every two days.
Adding 100,000 kilograms of strength every two days, and with this power further amplified by his force multiplier... under a six-fold force amplification, that meant an increase of 600,000 kilograms.
"This rate of improvement is simply terrifying." Luo Feng was inwardly astonished by the formidable nature of the Giant Elephant chapter secret art. Even though he had been practicing this secret art for several months, whenever he cultivated it, he still found it impossible to remain completely calm.
There were no flashy maneuvers; it was purely a raw, brutal enhancement of strength!
When strength increased, speed naturally followed. Never mind whatever realm-level movement agility you possessed—if you didn't even have time to react, what good was your movement technique?
A single punch would directly blast you into a mist of blood, bypassing even the need to cremate the corpse into ashes!
"Given the current strength of your consciousness, breaking through to the planetary level on the martial arts front presents no major obstacles. At best a few days, and at worst, a month will be more than enough. However, breaking through to the planetary level on the spiritual telekinesis front is slightly more difficult. You will probably have to wait until your consciousness strength exceeds 16—meaning you can simultaneously manipulate sixteen flying daggers—before you can break through at any moment... And once you break through to the planetary level, your speed in condensing Giant Elephant Particles will experience another explosive surge."
Within the internal space, Bai Chen's voice echoed leisurely.
Whether it was a martial artist or a spiritual reader, wanting to break through from the God of War level to the planetary level hinged entirely on the strength of their consciousness.
It was just that on Earth, due to the lack of secret arts for breaking through to the planetary level, practitioners had to rely on brute-force accumulation of consciousness strength or simply leave their breakthrough to luck.
In the universe, however, legacies were complete. As long as consciousness strength reached a normal threshold, one could smoothly break through to the planetary level by practicing specific secret arts, such as the *Nine-Nine Divine Refining*. Not only did this significantly lower the difficulty, but it also provided a clear directional guide, sparing an immense amount of wasted time.
At that moment, Bai Chen was contemplating whether he should expend energy to create a breakthrough secret art similar to the *Nine-Nine Divine Refining* for Luo Feng.
Without the corresponding foundational knowledge, attempting to create a secret manual out of thin air required a relatively massive consumption—a tenfold or hundredfold increase in energy cost was entirely normal.
"My current energy reserves are definitely more than sufficient. With over fifty million units of energy in reserve, creating dozens or even a hundred different types of breakthrough secret manuals would be more than enough," Bai Chen pondered inwardly.
"Or should I simply let Luo Feng enter the No. 9 Ancient Ruins? Not only does it contain the Falling Ink Star's foundational legacy regarding spiritual readers, but it also holds the *Nine-Nine Divine Refining* breakthrough secret art, which would also save this expenditure of energy."
After pondering for a moment, Bai Chen made his decision.
Outside.
As Luo Feng pondered the words spoken by "Bai" while continuing his cultivation of the Giant Elephant Particles, he suddenly heard the sound of a new mission notification.
Tapping open the mission panel, he looked.
[New Mission: Proceed to the No. 9 Ancient Ruins to receive the Falling Ink Star spiritual reader foundational legacy]
[Reward 1: Falling Ink Star spiritual reader foundational legacy (enhanced version)]
[Reward 2: Five million contribution points]
Upon seeing the rewards, Luo Feng’s eyes immediately lit up. This mission reward was simply too generous.
After toiling away hunting monsters for two months, he had only managed to earn around five million points. Now, by simply completing a single mission, he could obtain five million points, alongside some kind of spiritual reader legacy.
"Bai, is that No. 9 Ancient Ruins called the Falling Ink Star? What kind of faction is the Falling Ink Star?" Luo Feng asked out of curiosity.
He had heard of this No. 9 Ruin before, and if he remembered correctly, the mortality rate within that ruin was quite high.
"The Falling Ink Star... This faction was once an undying-level power that ruled over Earth. As for more specific information, you will naturally find out not long from now," Bai Chen said casually.
Since he had already decided to let Luo Feng enter the No. 9 Ruins to receive the legacy, according to his subsequent arrangements, Luo Feng would soon meet Babata. At that time, Babata—the intelligent life form who understood the Falling Ink Star best—would naturally introduce everything to Luo Feng. Bai Chen himself only knew the basic information about the Falling Ink Star through the original text.
"An Undying faction?" Luo Feng's spirit trembled. He had once heard "Bai" speak of the terrifying might of Undying powerhouses: beings capable of shattering Earth with a single blow, possessing eternal and immortal lifespans, standing as god-level entities within the universe!
As a legacy left behind by a faction established by an Undying divine being, even if it were only the most foundational legacy, it was bound to be unimaginably precious.
