Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 44 The Demon Slayer Clan's Super Enhanced Version: The 'Soul Devouring Domain Beast' Clone! (Please continue reading!)
"Chen Qi, has the loan plan for the second clone you mentioned been finalized?" Luo Feng, the Golden Horned Beast, asked eagerly.
'Loan! Loan! Loan!'

"I have an idea, but I haven't finalized it yet."

Chen Qi had considered many options, but in the end he settled on using the Demon Slayer Clan as a model for comprehensive enhancement.

"System, I need an avatar that the Golden Horned Beast can create, and this avatar must possess the characteristics of the Demon Slayer race: stealth and transformation, darling of spatial laws, and immunity to soul damage. Ideally, it should also be a living being made of flesh and blood. I only need a share of the genes that the Golden Horned Beast can create; I don't need anything else..."

[The design is currently being searched based on loan requirements...]

[A conflict has been detected.]

There is a conflict between the terms "flesh-and-blood life form" and "soul immunity." According to research, among flesh-and-blood life forms, only races excel at defending against soul attacks and reducing the effectiveness of enemy soul attacks; there are no flesh-and-blood life forms that are absolutely immune to soul attacks.

"Options conflict..."

Chen Qi was taken aback.

Then there are only two choices: either give up the possibility of cultivating the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual after losing one's physical body, or give up the characteristic of absolute immunity to soul attacks.

Thinking carefully.

Chen Qi felt that the original plot's arrangement of clones was actually quite reasonable. The Golden Horned Beast was associated with the Law of Metal, the Demon Slayer Clan with the Law of Space, and the human body was suited to socializing and earning resources within the clan. In the end, the human body would eventually return to its original form. With the blessing of the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Manual' and other enhancements, the choice of human clones wasn't too bad.

Even the order in which the clones are formed is quite logical.

The Golden Horned Beast and the Demon Slayer Clan can help improve the early-stage laws. The 'Nether Sea Avatar' is obtained at the World Lord level, but it will soon become Immortal.

It possesses a vast blood bank of immortal divine bodies...

After much deliberation, Chen Qi made his decision: to prioritize the characteristics of the Demon Slayer Clan and then enhance their functionality and strength.

"Let's just give up our flesh and blood. Not being able to cultivate the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual doesn't mean we can't increase our gene multiplier. Besides, according to the plan, there will be a blood bank for the Nether Sea Avatar later on. The combat power of the Golden Horned Beast and humans is not weak either. They have characteristics such as soul immunity and detection, which are more important."

He said it again:

"Then we should abandon flesh and blood, make the soul immune, and prioritize improving the perception of spatial laws while maintaining the ability to conceal changes and detect."

[The design is currently being searched based on loan requirements...]

[This setting is reasonable...]

【…】

[Loan Project: 'Demon Slayer Clan Mutant Version...']

"This won't do. Spatial law perception is the most important thing. It must be stronger than that of the Demon Slayer Clan!" Chen Qi was very dissatisfied with the first version of the plan and gave the system a new instruction.

"Setting loan targets already requires a decent understanding of spatial laws. External forces can be used to accelerate the improvement of spatial comprehension... for example, by consuming some metal or flesh..."

"Let's make some more adjustments..."

"this is not bad!"

After numerous adjustments, Chen Qi spent most of the day creating a very good clone.

He said to Luo Feng:

"check it out."

A huge, transparent panel was visible only to Luo Feng, the Golden Horned Beast. He blinked his enormous eyes.

【——Loan Agreement——】

[Loan Project: 'Soul Devouring Beast' Skin Fragments]

【'Soul-Devouring Beast': An energy life form, immune to any soul attack, a darling of the spatial laws, possessing extremely strong spatial law perception, capable of ever-changing forms, and able to conceal its aura by entering space. It is also born with the talent 'Soul Furnace'.】

[Within the Soul-Devouring Domain Beast's energy core lies a 'domain,' capable of storing and slowly absorbing the souls of the dead. The energy converted from this absorption slowly but permanently enhances its perception of spatial laws and the application of those laws.]

Without the ability to devour souls, the Soul-Devouring Domain Beast initially possesses only about 0.8 times the spatial law comprehension of a Demon Slayer of the same level. However, based on the Soul-Devouring Domain Beast's realm and the enhancement degree of the domain's absorption and devouring multiplier, the Demon Slayer does not possess the potential to match the growth limit of a Soul-Devouring Domain Beast of the same level.

【…】

The enhanced version of the Demon Slayer Clan clone possesses all the abilities of the Demon Slayer Clan, and its effects are even stronger. The only problem is that it needs to hunt down the souls of some powerful individuals to enhance its 'domain' in order to fully unleash its talents.

A growing clone!

"Come on, Luo Feng, let's get the loan!"

Chen Qi said.

then
The enormous golden-horned beast began to blink, shake its head, and so on.

After completing a full process, a tiny 'skin fragment' floated inside the Golden Horned Beast's inner world.

The next moment, the fragment vaporized.

An oval-shaped golden egg stood upright in the inner world.

The creation of this clone is exceptionally difficult.
Chen Qi took out another loan. He had some credit limit left over from before. Based on the cost-effectiveness, the current loan balance increased the speed slightly, but it could only shorten the time to '4 years' for the clone to be conceived!
"Four years, until 2063, there's still plenty of time. Hmm... if I remember correctly, that year was exactly the year the Noranshan family's expedition team arrived!"

"hiss"

"I was just worried that after obtaining the Soul Devouring Beast clone, I wouldn't have any souls to devour and absorb to improve my spatial comprehension."

"If I remember correctly, there are several families in Norlan Mountain that are at the cosmic level. We need to find a way to lure them together so that the Golden Horned Beast can wipe them out in one fell swoop?"

"Four years. Four years is too long. I can't even imagine how strong the Golden Horned Beast must be!"

2060 years.

In a starry sky within the Milky Way, spatial ripples suddenly appeared, and with a 'whoosh,' a flying saucer-shaped spaceship appeared in space.

"Escaped!"

"..."

The humans inside the spaceship cheered.

After a heated discussion among the crew, Bro & Noranshan suddenly heard the intelligent life form 'Atuka' shouting loudly:

"Captain, this is a void region in the Milky Way whose coordinates have been hidden for a long time! We have discovered a new route!"

"What?" Bro & Noranshan exclaimed immediately.

Is this area occupied by that terrifyingly powerful being from the Milky Way? He remembered that the super-powerful being had been dead for a long time, so isn't this area no-man's land?

Bro & Noranshan suddenly said loudly:

"Hurry up."

"Atuka, check the star map of this area, the old star map! Check if there are any habitable planets here, slaves are very valuable!"

Some time passed.

Atuka sent a star map, but also brought bad news.

"According to my search, there are inhabited planets in this area, one of which is very close to us, just over two years away. However, it has already been registered and is no longer an unclaimed planet."

"It's been registered?"

Bro & Nolan Mountain were taken aback. Had someone actually beaten them to it?

Damn!

“Yes, the person who registered is a stellar-level individual, a citizen of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, named Luo Feng, but there is no further information. I can't find it; my access is insufficient,” Atuka said.

Bro & Noranshan asked, "Luo Feng? Does he have any powerful backing?"

“Captain, I couldn’t find it,” Atuka replied again.

"Stellar level?" Bro & Noranshan were somewhat unwilling. As a place once occupied by such a powerful being, it must have many treasures. However, the territory had already been registered. If he attacked, he would be regarded as a space pirate and would not get away with it.

"Captain, I think we can go and take a look first. The owner of that planet is only a star-level being. We can visit his planet under the guise of being guests. There are probably some treasures he wouldn't even recognize, but we can at least pick up some bargains," a crew member suggested.

Upon hearing this, Bro & Noranshan agreed, and he had even more ideas:
"I'll contact the family later."

"If this guy really has no background, and there are still many precious treasures left behind by that super strong person on the planet, with the family's capabilities, we might be able to find a way to bring the planet over!"

"..."

After a conversation.

Finally, the fleet decided to continue to the planet that already had an owner, at least to check the situation. If things didn't look good, there wouldn't be any harm in visiting it, right?
A lord of a small planet.

We should at least give some face to the cosmic-level family behind Bro, the Noranshan family!
If you can grab it, then grab it; if you can't, then pretend to be friendly and just passing by as a guest.

A sure-fire way to make money!

However, what Bro & Nuolanshan didn't know was that their whereabouts had already been clearly seen by Chen Qi, Babata, and Luo Feng.

"Let them sail slowly. Luo Feng, your Soul Devouring Beast clone has not yet been successfully formed. By the time they arrive, it will be formed. In a few years, your strength will be completely unafraid of that so-called Nuolan Mountain."

"It's the perfect opportunity to wipe out their entire family!"

"To be fed to the Soul Devouring Domain Beasts."
