Chapter 503 Golden Horn Defies Heaven
"It would be even better if we could understand its innate talent and bloodline inheritance techniques."
He silently returned to his residence, glanced at the clock on the wall, and turned to go into the kitchen.
A dozen minutes later, Liu Ting, Jiang Fang, and Zhao Ruo pushed open the door and entered, their shoulders still warm from the evening breeze and the city's lingering heat.
Humans born after the Great Cataclysm are almost all handsome and beautiful when they grow up.
Liu Ting, Zhao Ruo, and Jiang Fang are all exceptional in terms of figure and features—in their previous lives, or even earlier, they would have been admired by thousands for their unparalleled beauty.
After dinner, we watched a documentary together for a while and then did a quick quiz on what we had learned recently.
Feeling refreshed, he slept soundly through the night. The next morning, Zhong Guohong once again stepped into the Butcher's Knife Brigade's camp.
Half a month later, the golden-horned giant egg on the seabed cracked open first; almost at the same moment, another one, which was a replica hatched on Earth, also emerged from its shell.
Chung Kwok-hung enters a cloned Earth and forms a master-servant contract with a newborn animal cub in the Australian wilderness.
The little guy had just opened his eyes, and even his paws were still soft. His star power had not yet taken shape, let alone any talent or secret techniques.
"I have a treasure bowl, and plenty of metal; I'll pile it up until it can't hold any more."
He led the little beast straight to the Australian heartland, where he replicated Earth, and in one go, he replicated several mountain-like piles of gold, silver, copper, and iron ore.
The moment the metallic luster entered the little beast's pupils, it pounced forward, devouring the food without hesitation.
Seeing its back bulge, its scales gleam, and its body size increase at a visible speed, Chung Kwok-hung couldn't help but chuckle.
From now on, I'll call you Xiaoxing.
Born from the stars, it resembles a giant beast, yet it remains as tender as ever. The name is both fitting and warm.
After eating ordinary metals for a few days, it started eyeing Adamantium alloys.
"I'm not afraid of your big appetite, I'm just afraid you can't chew it."
Zhong Guohong activated the treasure basin, and one metal mountain after another rose from the ground.
Little Star's eyes gleamed, and its tail wagged happily—it ate while awake every day, slept after eating its fill, and ate again after waking up, living a blissful life as if in a dream.
"The wreckage of the Machine Race's spaceship, the outer shell of the Meteorite Star... are all made of high-grade metals."
"After swallowing vibranium, uru, and even the legendary strongest metal, how far can it go?"
In the time acceleration zone, Xiao Xing had already climbed to the ninth level of Hengxing in less than three days.
Several days later, the aura suddenly tore through the void—the ninth level of the universe!
"This talent is simply outrageous. Just by eating, he can pave such a wide path for himself? I wish I could get a new stomach too."
Metal mountains collapsed and disappeared, transforming into the surging stellar core power within its body.
Chung Kuo-hung stood outside the Australian time acceleration zone, his hands never stopping: replicating rare alloys from the American reality show world, and replicating all known metallic elements in the solar system.
"Peak ninth-tier Realm Lord, feed again."
"A military-level immortal... its cultivation has surpassed mine."
"A Marquis-level Immortal? Finally, I have a worthy companion."
……
"Cosmic Venerable Realm. Come, test its current combat power."
That golden-horned giant beast egg was a replica he made himself using a treasure basin.
He also spearheaded the conclusion of the contract, and life and death were entirely in his hands.
After leaving the replicated solar system, he sparred with Xiao Xing, who had reached the level of a Cosmic Venerable, for more than half an hour.
"With the Minghong Blade in hand and the Chaos Bell at my command, can my combat prowess truly surpass that of a Golden Horned Beast of the same rank?"
Back to the replica Earth, Australia, to continue feeding.
The powerful metal flowed continuously into his stomach, and Xiao Xing's aura rose steadily.
Zhong Guohong waited outside the acceleration zone for a long time until its cultivation level stabilized at the sixth-order Universe Master level, without making any further progress.
He then replicated the core materials of the Minghong Blade and the Chaos Bell, but Xiaoxing chewed a few times and spat them out, feeling discomfort in his throat.
"It seems that the threshold of becoming a true god cannot be crossed simply by eating."
"But the Golden Horned Beast, a sixth-order universe master, may not necessarily lose to a true god."
Xiao Xing relayed all the secret techniques and cultivation methods passed down by the Golden Horned Beast without reservation.
Upon reaching the edge of the replicated solar system once again, he had Xiaoxing unleash his innate supernatural powers on the spot.
He could directly learn those secret techniques and cultivation methods; as for the supernatural powers themselves, there were only two paths: either observe them repeatedly and comprehend them on his own, or extract the gene sequence and develop the corresponding serum.
After examining the Golden Horned Beast's true form several times, Zhong Guohong had some new ideas.
"Let Xiaobai handle the serum matter. If we can really uncover its ability to create clones, we'll have struck gold."
He took a drop of blood from Xiaoxing, amplified it to several hundred kilograms, and sent it directly to the cloned Earth for Xiaobai to analyze.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to leave Xiaoxing there.
It's not too late to let Xiaoxing take action when we encounter races with particularly strange or strong talents later.
"The Golden Horned Beast can only raise three clones at most—should we have Xiaoxing create a pure human one?"
"A human clone following Luo Feng? Just thinking about it makes one uneasy."
Squeezing an ordinary person into one of the three slots? That sounds like a losing proposition.
But he held a treasure trove in his hand; he could clone one golden-horned behemoth egg, and cloning ten, a hundred, or even tens of thousands of them was no problem.
As long as there is enough energy, he could pile up a whole galaxy with golden-horned behemoths at the sixth-order universe lord level.
Zhong Guohong cultivated too relentlessly, and is now at the peak of the ninth level of the Realm Lord. His excessively high cultivation level has ironically blocked his entry into the Peak Genius Battle.
In this universe, besides his closest relatives, the two things he cherishes most are the Chaos Stele and the Nine Tribulations Scripture.
A priceless treasure? A supreme treasure? He didn't care at all.
He takes everything that others have—he spins the treasure bowl and replicates it exactly.
Even if it can't be copied for the time being, we have the Chaos Bell for defense and the Minghong Blade for offense, which is more than enough.
"First, help Xiaoxing stabilize his clone. In the future, I'll use this clone to lead me into Chaos City."
With his current spiritual power, anything within a million kilometers that he can see and touch will be instantly replicated by the Treasure Basin.
He selected a clone, injected it with a super-powered serum, and then had Xiaoxing use it as a base to create a clone.
With the time acceleration activated, the human body took shape in the blink of an eye.
"Xiao Xing, from now on, your clone will be called He Tiezhu," Zhong Guohong blurted out.
He Yuzhu, the guy from the courtyard house, is stubborn, upright, and loyal. He always calls him "Iron Pillar" in private.
Before leaving the cloned Earth, he took the opportunity to complete all the identity procedures for He Tiezhu.
After several attempts, He Tiezhu's cultivation level soared to the first level of the planetary realm.
He greeted Jia Yi, and He Tiezhu became a transfer student, officially enrolling in the school where Luo Feng was studying.
With a little more groundwork laid, a villa in the Sunshine Community ended up in He Tiezhu's name—right next to Luo Feng's house.
"They were classmates and neighbors, and somehow they got in touch. Following Luo Feng, how could things not go smoothly?"
He himself was stuck at the peak of the ninth rank, completely out of the running for the top genius battle.
In case Luo Feng's route becomes impassable one day, we must always have a backup plan for going to Chaos City.
By placing a trap for He Tiezhu in advance, it's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.
