In the Original Universe, what is the most important symbol of a peak force?
It is the existence of a Universe Master.
Only with a Universe Master can one revive Universe Overlords.
At the same time, only with a Universe Master can one possess a small universe as a fallback.
And just now, the Universe Masters of those peak forces in the Original Universe had all been casually killed by Luo Fan.
This meant that those peak forces no longer had small universes as a retreat.
Meanwhile, Luo Fan's clones within the Original Universe each possessed peak sixth-tier strength.
In that case, why not unify all the territories within the Original Universe?
Luo Fan also felt that this should indeed be done.
The Original Universe was so vast, yet it was divided into so many regions ruled by different races.
Very quickly, Chaos City Lord and the others discussed a plan.
In fact, for the current human race, with Luo Fan present, ruling the Original Universe was not difficult.
For them, the challenge was not conquering territory.
Taking territory was extremely easy.
What was difficult now was that the human race lacked enough mid-level experts.
Even with clone techniques, it was not enough to station a Venerable in every star region of the Original Universe.
It had to be known that the territory occupied by the human race, including the core region shared by the four great races, accounted for less than one percent of the entire Original Universe.
There were still vast regions belonging to numerous smaller races.
Based on the human race's classification of high-level universe nations,
the Original Universe could be divided into at least hundreds of thousands, or even over a million such nations.
Where would the human race find so many Venerables to guard them?
They could not possibly assign Luo Fan's clones to garrison them, could they?
Conquering territory was simple, just kill the strong.
For Luo Fan, that was extremely easy.
But garrisoning required staying in one place permanently.
If it were tens of thousands of clones, Luo Fan would not mind.
But hundreds of thousands of clones standing still in fixed locations?
He was not going to treat his clones as tools.
And it was not just these nations.
There were also secret realms.
Certain special realms also required strong experts to guard them.
There were many such realms in the Original Universe that produced unique resources.
Even within the core region of the four great races, there were numerous such realms.
Some could be guarded by King-level experts,
but the more valuable ones definitely required Venerables.
Thus, conquering territory was not difficult.
The difficulty lay in holding it.
For the human race, this was a "happy" problem.
However, Luo Fan did not concern himself with these matters.
He was only responsible for killing.
The remaining issues could be left to Chaos City Lord.
Hearing this, Chaos City Lord felt somewhat helpless.
But he also knew that Luo Fan's most important task now was to grow stronger.
He would not let these matters distract him.
He could simply delegate them to the Venerables below him.
After informing the Venerables of the five great factions to begin planning, one of Luo Fan's clones led the group into the Eternal Ancient City.
He planned to let the human race receive some of the Wu Kingdom's transmissible inheritances here.
...
Just as Luo Fan led the human race into the Eternal Ancient City, his World Beast clone was finally born.
In front of the mechanical race clone stood a pitch-black creature.
Its entire body was naked, with two single-eyed heads, one in front and one behind, four limbs, a mouth and nose, but no ears or eyebrows.
It was extremely ugly.
Even though it was his own clone, Luo Fan found it hideous.
He planned to claim his system rewards, strengthen the World Beast clone, and then head to the Dark Land to devour other World Beasts.
Only by evolving into a World Beast King would it look somewhat better.
Luo Fan carefully examined this clone.
He discovered that World Beasts were indeed extraordinary creatures.
Inside its body was a separate dimensional space.
Within this space, it could digest vast amounts of energy.
It could even use this space to comprehend the Path of Destruction!
Among the inheritances Luo Fan had previously obtained, there were also teachings on the Path of Destruction.
He had not studied them before.
For beings of the Universe Sea, comprehending the Path of Destruction was extremely difficult.
Even with the assistance of certain training zones within the Origin Sea Boat, it remained very hard.
Moreover, he had long planned to create a World Beast clone.
He intended to let this clone handle the comprehension instead.
As he recalled the inheritance knowledge related to destruction,
he found that the World Beast clone learned incredibly quickly.
However, he soon noticed a problem.
Even after comprehending part of the Path of Destruction, the increase in strength was not significant.
He immediately realized something.
World Beasts were essentially biological weapons.
Only the World Beast King stood at the same level as the Original Universe.
What he needed to do now was not comprehend the Path of Destruction, but become a World Beast King.
Luo Fan also had inherited memories left behind by Ji Wu. (TL/N: The world beast he killed before.)
These included information about World Beasts.
For example, their fundamental laws,
and their deep instinctual desire to become the World Beast King.
Fortunately, his willpower was strong enough to suppress the urge to devour his nearby Original Universe clone.
To the World Beast clone, that Original Universe clone felt like a sausage placed in front of a dog.
Luo Fan also realized that with the birth of the World Beast clone, his willpower would soon break through to the Void True God level.
This did not surprise him.
World Beasts naturally possessed extremely high willpower potential.
Without hesitation, he established a task.
[Task: Break willpower to the Void True God level. Reward: 1000 Samsara Fruits, 1000+ Advanced Willpower Talents]
He planned to consume a Samsara Fruit shortly to attempt the breakthrough.
But for now, understanding the World Beast clone was more important.
He discovered that he could vaguely sense the positions of other World Beasts.
Not only that, within his consciousness was something like a group communication channel.
It allowed him to receive information from other World Beasts.
This "group chat" was currently very lively.
"Why do we have another of our kind?"
"Why was this one born so late?"
"Why is it outside the Dark Land?"
"Hey, newcomer, what's your name? Come here and let me devour you!"
"What kind of proper World Beast leaves the Dark Land? This one must be abnormal!"
Since Luo Fan's clone was not enslaved, the other World Beasts treated him as one of their own.
If a World Beast were enslaved, all others would immediately know.
Moreover, if a World Beast enslaved others, then all World Beasts would share ownership.
This was one of their unique traits.
Luo Fan then examined his innate abilities.
One of them was division.
This was currently his most crucial survival technique.
Unfortunately, all World Beasts possessed it.
Without hesitation, he claimed his system rewards.
In the next moment, a chaotic-colored light covered the surface of the World Beast clone.
Soon, the light faded.
Luo Fan immediately felt that the clone had changed.
With a thought,
the World Beast clone transformed into his original human form!
More importantly, even the destructive energy inside it had transformed into divine power!
Even the spatial worm clone had only been able to mimic appearances, while retaining divine power internally.
This was because the energies of Universe Sea lifeforms and World Beasts were fundamentally opposed.
Only by reaching a genetic level of one hundred thousand times, achieving a formless and shapeless state,
could one freely convert between divine power and destructive energy.
This was also the key to enslaving World Beasts.
Otherwise, only an extremely powerful will could accomplish it.
Luo Fan tested it again, transforming back into a World Beast.
His clone now possessed true formless transformation ability.
Not only that, he tested the division technique.
He discovered he could instantly split into thousands of clones!
This was originally an ability only sixth-tier World Beasts possessed.
This was one reason for their strength.
Additionally, he could use Blood Burning, a second-tier World Beast technique that greatly boosted power.
His system-enhanced techniques could also be used.
He also possessed an attack technique called Destruction Light.
At this point, Luo Fan began to consider how dominant he would be among these mostly first and second-tier World Beasts.
As a World Beast, he could sense their strength.
Currently, only a few were second-tier.
Most were first-tier.
Without hesitation, Luo Fan handed several blade-type treasures to the World Beast clone.
Although World Beasts could not fully utilize treasures,
they were still more effective than using their bodies alone.
In the original records, some smarter World Beasts had also used treasures.
The improvement was limited, but still useful.
After finishing preparations, Luo Fan had his spatial worm clone carry the World Beast clone toward the Dark Land.
Along the way, the World Beast clone casually devoured the small universe of the Demon Ancestor, who had survived earlier by staying behind.
Luo Fan immediately sensed the benefits of consuming a small universe.
He almost decided to devour all nearby small universes.
Fortunately, he restrained himself.
As for the Purple Moon Ancestor's small universe, his clone was still too weak to devour it.
In fact, at this stage, the World Beast clone was not as strong as his other clones.
It could not use his main body's techniques or weapons.
Thus, it was temporarily weaker.
Soon, the World Beast clone arrived at the Dark Land with the spatial worm clone.
This time, the spatial worm clone would accompany it inside.
The Dark Land did not allow teleportation, and other World Beasts could not yet use spatial channels.
They had to travel by flight.
However, with the spatial worm clone's assistance, Luo Fan could directly use wormholes to hunt.
He quickly located his first target.
The moment he entered, he searched for the nearest first-tier World Beast.
"It's you, the newcomer!"
"How did you get here so quickly?!"
Yi looked at Luo Fan in shock.
"Hahaha!"
"Of course I forced this Universe Sea food to bring me here!"
"I promised that after becoming the World Beast King, I'd let him serve me!"
"Prepare to die, Yi!"
Yi showed vigilance and shock, but no fear.
World Beasts never feared fighting their own kind.
He immediately charged forward.
Luo Fan did not involve the spatial worm clone.
He raised a blade and slashed.
Although World Beasts could not use his original techniques,
they could create techniques based on the Destruction laws.
He also activated enhancement techniques.
In the next instant, his power surged a hundredfold.
"Boom!"
With a single strike, Yi lost one of its claws.
"How is this possible?!"
"We're both first-tier, how are you so strong?!"
Yi was filled with disbelief.
Luo Fan ignored him and attacked again.
Yi immediately used division, splitting into a hundred clones.
Luo Fan instantly killed one.
Then he used division himself.
Hundreds of Luo Fan clones intercepted each Yi clone.
"Damn it!"
Yi finally accepted defeat.
But he was still confused.
"How can you create so many clones?"
"I had a special opportunity."
"Now, become a stepping stone on my path to kingship."
In the next moment, Luo Fan eliminated all of Yi's clones.
