Swallowing the Stars: Equipment Slots, Starting with a Genius Battle

Chapter 73 The Golden Sky Beast God in the Making

Whoosh—

The light of the divine kingdom's teleportation faded, and space and time shifted.

Ye Feng and the thousands of soldiers felt a blur before their eyes and were directly "thrown" from the God Kingdom transit station into the ninth battlefield outside the human territory—the No. 008 military camp base.

The moment their feet touched the cold alloy floor, a cacophony of shouts filled their ears: "Recruits! Recruits have arrived!"

"Quick, get moving. Don't just stand there."

Ye Feng looked up and saw a group of over a dozen elite soldiers, led by an immortal deity, rapidly approaching. The leading immortal, clad in golden armor with two prominent golden vertical lines on his forehead, scanned the group and declared in a booming voice, "New recruits, welcome to the Ninth Battlefield, Base 008. Now, listen to my command—Cosmic-level, Domain Lord,..."

"Lord of the Realm, each of you should go with one of these three."

The Golden-Patterned Immortal swiftly identified three guides.

The hierarchy in the battlefields outside the region is strict, and the treatment varies drastically.

Universe-level and Domain Lord-level beings can only serve as cannon fodder, incorporated into the main force for legion-level slaughter under the command of immortals.

Realm Lords, on the other hand, have more freedom and can form elite squads to carry out missions, making it more efficient to earn military merits.

As for those like Ye Feng who have achieved the title of Marquis and become immortal, they have even greater freedom.

Soon, the crowd in the square was quickly diverted and carried away, leaving only Jinwen Immortal and Ye Feng.

"Lord Swordfire Marquis," the Golden-Patterned Immortal said with a smile and respectful demeanor, "you have two choices. One is to command a standard cosmic army, composed of 10 Immortals, 1000 World Lords, 1 Domain Lords, and 10 Cosmic-level soldiers; the other is—"

Freedom of movement. Which option would you prefer?

Commanding an army? Working as a nanny?

Ye Feng shook his head without even thinking.

He came with the mission of hunting the "Chaos Monument". After adapting and improving, he was going to hunt alien races and become a king. He didn't have time to command battles.

"I'll act alone," Ye Feng said succinctly.

"Understood." The Golden-Patterned Immortal immediately started recording on his personal device, while reminding, "The Military Merit System has synchronized the latest star map of the Ninth Battlefield to your authorized account. Please be sure to check it."

"Mm." Ye Feng nodded. Then, led by a base soldier, he walked towards the rest area specially prepared for immortals of the Marquis level and above.

A moment later, in front of a manor covering thousands of acres.

"Lord Swordfire, this is the rest area assigned to you. Are you satisfied? If not, there are many other vacant areas available in the base," the armored soldier leading the way said, bowing.

Ye Feng looked up and sized him up.

The manor has a simple and grand layout, with an artificial dome simulating the natural interplay of light and shadow. At its heart is an elegant two-story villa.

Looking around, similar standardized estates stretched as far as the eye could see, like a dense honeycomb, their sheer number was astonishing.

That's normal; the entire 008 barracks base is comparable in size to a star, with an astonishingly vast interior. It's said that those who are granted the title of King of Immortality receive even better treatment, including having their own floating island.

In extraterritorial battlefields, strength is everything. The stronger you are, the better the treatment you receive.

"Right here." Ye Feng nodded.

"Yes. Permissions have been activated for you." The white-armored soldier completed the operation and said respectfully, "The manor is equipped with an intelligent butler. You can give it any orders directly through the military merit system at any time."

Ye Feng said no more and walked straight into the manor.

"The environment is alright; it's a place to catch your breath during breaks in the battle." Ye Feng glanced around and was quite satisfied with the base's logistical support.

He went up to the second floor of the villa, sat down cross-legged, and glanced at the equipment inventory: [Ye Feng]

Realm: Second-tier World Lord; Willpower: Intermediate Universe Venerable; Life Gene: 1801 times; Law:

The Origin of Fire (Understanding its Essence: 107 Types)

The Origin of Gold (Understanding its Essence: 24 Types)

The Origin of Space (Understanding its Essence: 81 Types)

Equipment 1: Empty; Equipment 2: 150,000 HP Luo Crystal (Permanent); Remaining: 49.888 — Ten Thousand Eras (Willpower Tempering/Increasing Fusion Degree can accelerate this)

Equipment 600: 3499 million Blood Crystals Permanent Remaining: 8888 Era — (Willpower Training/Increasing Fusion Level Can Accelerate)

Equipment 600: 3499 million Blood Crystals Permanent Remaining: 8887 Eras — (Willpower Training/Increasing Fusion Level Can Accelerate)

More than half a year ago, he honed his willpower and successfully freed up two equipment slots. One of them was directly equipped by Ye Feng with 600 million Blood Crystals.

The essence of the Beast God born from the new equipment has been successfully used to nurture clones.

At this moment, at the core of his inner world, which has a diameter of 3.5 million kilometers, a giant golden egg, hundreds of kilometers long and radiating immense life energy, is quietly suspended—it is the nascent Golden Void Beast God avatar.

"With a genetic level 1801 times higher, the gestation time is greatly shortened. It only takes 2000 years to conceive the Golden Void Beast God Avatar." Ye Feng was satisfied.

The all-round leap in will, life genes, and strength has brought about a qualitative leap in the efficiency of clone creation, law fusion, and equipment solidification.

The solidification time of the Blood Crystal has been shortened by nearly a thousand epochs. Coupled with the current acceleration effect of at least a thousand times brought about by the tempering of will, these seemingly long solidification times are not out of reach.

"The year 2000 isn't long, but I wonder what level the Golden Void Beast God's avatar will reach?"

Ye Feng gazed at the giant golden egg in the sky, his heart filled with anticipation.

His greatest hope is to directly create an avatar like the Innate Beast God, possessing the strength of a Universe Lord, and for his true self to also directly break through to the Universe Lord level.

Of course, this is wishful thinking. If the Golden Horned Beast's talent for creating clones were truly so heaven-defying, it would have been possessed and extinct by the peak powerhouses of various races in the universe long ago, just like those innate beast gods.

After all, the essence blood of the innate beast god is not unique to Ye Feng; all the top clans must have stockpiles of it.

Based on the pattern of Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast's creation of clones, Ye Feng's own Beast God clone will not possess the strength of a Universe Lord like the Innate Beast God. It will most likely be at the Realm Lord level, but will have some of the abilities of the Golden Void Beast God.

A 10081-fold increase in life gene quantity, the materialization of the fundamental laws of gold and space, greatly enhancing the speed of comprehension, the ultimate secret technique at the level of a cosmic master —

Having just one of these core capabilities would be incredibly profitable for any clone.

Ye Feng had a vague feeling that the beast god avatar born from the beast god's essence blood in the Blood Crystal was not a manifestation of the fundamental laws of gold and space.

Each born beast god is unique. After their fall, the primordial universe will not allow the birth of such a special life form that embodies the fundamental laws.

This is another reason why Ye Feng is not optimistic about the clone he created, which directly possesses the strength of a universe master.

However, it will still be a step stronger than the Nine Nether Sea clone that Luo Feng nurtured.

The strength of the innate beast god is no weaker than that of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, both being at the fourth level.

Born as a beast god, favored by the primordial universe, upon birth, it possessed the strength of a universe master, with a life gene level reaching 10081...

Most obviously, the naturally born beast gods were coveted by top experts and were hunted to extinction.

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is alive and well.

In terms of value, it's clear who is stronger and who is weaker.
