"Devouring Beasts, Wood-element Crystals, Purple Light Dew… There are too many precious things on this planet. We're rich!" a giant battleship from the Nuolan Mountain Family continuously neared Earth.
"Earth's population is 7 billion. There are hundreds of Planet-Grade powerhouses," the battleship's intelligent system rapidly gathered information.
"Some special information has been found. Someone here has come into contact with the universe. Luo Feng, Earth's number one powerhouse! He bought Earth in the Black Dragon Empire. This is an owned planet!"
The members of the Nuolan Mountain Family were stunned. This gold mine already had an owner?
They quickly contacted their clan chief.
"Retreat!" the clan chief spoke with great firmness. "If we attack, we will be judged as space pirates by the Black Dragon Empire. Their army can destroy my Nuolan Mountain Family with no effort. We cannot let the entire family be buried for a bit of treasure."
The Nuolan Mountain Family members reluctantly chose to retreat.
…
Among the departing battleships, a member named Pula suddenly received a video call from the clan chief.
"You and the experts in your fleet are to secretly remain on Earth and search for the Golden Horned Beast's corpse," the cold man on screen ordered.
"Ah, Clan Chief, that Earth has a Lord!" Pula was greatly alarmed.
"So what? I'm just ordering an elite squad to temporarily infiltrate. When they are exposed, they can just claim to be space pirates. Who can prove they belong to my family? Imperial law speaks of evidence. Without it, that Earth Lord can do nothing."
"Understood!" Pula nodded.
A battleship silently returned to Earth. The elite squad was very strong, with 20 Star-Grade Level 9 powerhouses and 60 at Level 7 and 8. Such combat power was enough to sweep across the entire Earth—an Earth without Luo Feng.
After several days, they still hadn't found any trace of the Golden Horned Beast.
"There is no corpse in the ocean. According to the information, Luo Feng killed it. He should know best where it is."
"Luo Feng is not on Earth right now. His family might know." They decided to target Luo Feng's family.
His parents were happily playing with their grandsons on the lawn in front of their castle. Several streaks of light rapidly approached, the people of the Nuolan Mountain Family all carrying stealth devices. In just a few breaths, they arrived on the lawn.
Woo woo woo…
A piercing alarm sounded. "Protect the young masters!" The castle guards reacted immediately. However, their strength was far inferior. In just an instant, several Star-Grade Level 9 powerhouses arrived in front of Luo Feng's parents and his two children.
"Quickly seize them!" A powerhouse made a move, intending to capture the children.
The moment their hands were about to touch them, a divine light burst forth from the children's bodies. The jade pendants on them emitted a shield. This was a gift from Fang Han, a Green Jade Talisman that could resist the attacks of Universe-Grade powerhouses.
"What kind of protective gear is this?" the powerhouse was greatly surprised.
In that instant, two statue-like objects on the children's bodies also erupted with divine light. A hellish gale swept across the surroundings. Various devilish Qi condensed into cities and palaces. Two powerful demons appeared.
One was fierce and malevolent, a hundred zhang tall, with a pair of wings that blotted out the sky. This was a demon that had almost reached the Half-Saint-Grade. The other was slightly thinner, but a blood-red True Qi Devil Blade appeared in its palm, as if the entire world had turned into a sea of blood.
"What kind of monsters are these?" Dozens of great experts were now scared stiff. The terrifying aura from these two demons suppressed them, making them unable to breathe.
The blood blade in the demon's hand swept, and the heads of dozens of Star-Grade experts fell. Their flesh and blood were completely devoured. In the blink of an eye, the people of the Nuolan Mountain Family were annihilated.
After devouring them, the two demons burrowed back into the children's bodies, turning back into statues.
"Protect…" Luo Feng's parents hadn't even fully recovered their senses. They looked around; the surroundings were calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Ping'er, Hai'er… Are you two alright?!" The couple quickly hugged their children.
The two were very calm. "Grandpa, we're fine. Uncle Yang Qi left us Big Monster and Little Monster; they'll protect us."
The couple had a sudden realization. They found two small, exquisite statues on their children's bodies. Could these turn into demons? They immediately informed Luo Feng of what had happened.
Luo Feng listened and wasn't worried. "It's fine, just keep those statues safe. They have Universe-Grade combat power and can ensure your safety."
The couple was shocked. Didn't this mean each person in their family had a Universe-Grade bodyguard? Luo Feng himself hadn't even broken through yet.
…
Hanging up, a cold glint flashed in Luo Feng's eyes. Nuolan Mountain Family! They dared to attack my family. They are courting death!
In the original plot, they had tried to coerce him by kidnapping his family. Now, it was the same trick. However, they probably didn't expect his family had demon puppets with Universe-Grade strength. A Universe-Grade slave was worth hundreds of trillions of Black Dragon coins; Luo Feng himself couldn't afford one. Yet, each of his family members had one, thanks to Yang Qi.
So, when you're out and about, you need influence and background. The last time the group came, they armed his family to the teeth. Their current net worth was even higher than his.
Calming his mind, Luo Feng continued his breakthrough. Once he reached Universe-Grade, with his combat power, fighting a peak Universe-Grade would be a trivial matter.
He lay naked in gray nutrient solution. Rich vital energy penetrated his body, altering his genetic material. His bones became denser, and his internal world also underwent a breakthrough, expanding from 90 kilometers in length and width to over 1,000.
After the transformation, a surge of power fed back into his body. Golden scales grew on his skin, and a golden horn sprouted from his forehead. This was the terrifying aspect of the Demonic Embryo Parasitic Art; it could absorb all the advantages of other creatures. With a thought, he retracted the features.
Surging power filled his body. "Is this Universe-Grade?" His eyes held an unprecedented excitement. He had truly stepped into the ranks of powerhouses.
Luo Feng directly entered his internal world. The most valuable thing he obtained from the Golden Horned Beast was its affinity for law.
"Is this a domain?" Within the internal space, a hazy golden light enveloped everything. After he broke through, his psychic energy, original force, will, and body naturally reached a wonderful state of harmony, and the fusion generated a controlling effect on the surrounding space.
This was a domain.
Even if the Golden Horned Beast did nothing, it would naturally possess a domain, which would continuously improve from the first to the ninth layer, finally gaining the recognition of the Origin Law of Gold. After devouring it, Luo Feng could simply lie back, and the Origin Law would slowly acknowledge him.
"This is too heaven-defying," he said, a little excited. Thor and Hong had gone through countless hardships to cultivate a domain. He just broke through and got one for free.
"If Brother Shi knew I mastered the domain so easily, he'd probably be furious." Although the cultivation systems were different, their domains were essentially the same. Shi Jian had paid a great price to cultivate his.
After thinking for a moment, he logged into the chat group.
[Luo Feng: "Brothers, after I broke through to Universe-Grade, I naturally cultivated a domain. If you need to cultivate similar things, you can come to my world. The laws here are all externalized!"]
[Shi Jian: "The baby's crying. Do you know how to feed it now?"]
