One month later.
Lin Feng stood alone amidst the scattered starlight.
If one were to zoom out infinitely, they would see four faintly glowing regions behind him.
These were the three universes he had diligently refined over the past month:
【Nine-Colored Universe】, 【Chaos Universe】, and 【Five Directions Universe】.
Combined with the previously refined 【Zhu Xian Universe】, he now controlled a total of four universes!
Not only had the upper limit of his main body's Eternal Power been increased to 60,000, but he had also activated a super powerful Eternal-grade talent.
【Divine Fusion]: When the total number of universes you control reaches three, for every additional universe controlled, you will receive an extra bonus equal to that number, with a maximum of nine.
Lin Feng hadn't initially understood what this meant.
It was only when he switched between his four clone universes and simulated fusions that he finally understood.
It turned out that normally, an Eternal Lord who controlled multiple universes would only have their Eternal Power stacked sequentially. Even if each universe was raised to the maximum of 10,000 Eternal Power, controlling nine universes would only accumulate 90,000 Eternal Power.
But Lin Feng was different.
If his main body were to refine another universe and elevate it to the Eternal realm, his total Eternal Power, in addition to the cumulative sum of his main body and four clones, would be multiplied by five. Refining a sixth universe would multiply it by six.
This discovery left him astonished.
The universes he refined himself had a higher cap than others, and he possessed such a special effect. How could anyone else compete?
However, because his main body had not yet ascended to the Eternal realm, this effect was not currently active. Furthermore, each universe remained independent. If he hadn't used his Eternal Power to activate the spatial laws he once possessed, allowing him to instantly traverse between his clone universes, the mere act of transferring Eternal Power between them would have been a monumental undertaking.
As his spatial laws continued to strengthen and improve, he made an unexpected discovery. His comprehension of space seemed to be deepening. By sensing the existence of the puppet Xiao Feng, he could faintly perceive the general direction of the universe where Water Blue Star was located. This direction was very far away from him. Even if he were to travel in a straight line, it would likely take a considerable amount of time.
Lin Feng pondered for a long time and devised a plan. He would use the Protector System to remotely command the puppet Xiao Feng to travel in his direction. Of course, to be more secure, he would also remotely control it, striving to have the puppet Xiao Feng refine a universe as well, giving it some self-preservation capabilities.
Just as he attempted to communicate with the puppet Xiao Feng and make arrangements, a disruptor appeared in the battle unfolding on Water Blue Star.
...
Time returned to a little over a month ago.
When Huang Shi shed his pride as a Dominator, humbled himself, and began to recognize Lin Feng as his master, believing in him, his strength experienced an explosive surge. His very first move, a remarkable feat of fighting six opponents without being at a disadvantage, stunned the entire battlefield. Ji Dao and Xue Yin felt as if they were facing a peak Dominator of level twenty. They even felt that Huang Shi's strength had surpassed the Dominator realm.
Just as Huang Shi's side was celebrating and preparing to pursue Tai Hao and the War God Squad, Ji Dao and Xue Yin, by some unknown means, summoned a mysterious being from beyond the heavens. An entity carrying an immense, terrifying pressure descended from the sky. Even Huang Shi, who possessed strength beyond the Dominator realm, could only struggle to resist and was powerless to fight back. This being, whose true form could not be seen, was Ji Dao's trump card – a powerful being at the Eternal realm!
After Ji Dao and Xue Yin burned half of their divine essence, an Eternal-grade clone named Ren Huang instantly descended upon the universe where Water Blue Star was located. Its will enveloped the entire star field where they were fighting.
However, Ji Dao did not gloat for long. After Huang Shi's faith in Lin Feng made him stronger, Tai Hao followed suit, imitating him. Furthermore, his strength, which was already slightly superior to Huang Shi's, had been honed to perfection through nearly a year of combat. Relying solely on the most basic effect of [Battle Maniac], his strength began to soar. In less than ten battles, his main body's strength rapidly broke through to level twenty. When he consumed wish power and summoned Lin Feng's possession, he reached a level sufficient to resist Ren Huang's clone.
Just as they were filled with confidence, believing victory was within reach, Ren Huang's main body, after a full year, finally officially arrived. Initially, Ji Dao and the others were worried that the Tai Hao and Huang Shi side had improved too quickly, fearing that their patron might not have a significant advantage. But when Ren Huang truly descended, the absolute suppression from a soul level instantly froze them, rendering them completely immobile.
Ren Huang looked at the large group of Dominators frozen in place, feeling immense satisfaction. A year had passed, and he had finally arrived. This universe, as Ji Dao had said, was not controlled by any Eternal realm being.
"You have done well!"
Ren Huang's praise sent Ji Dao and Xue Yin into ecstasy. This was an existence that controlled universes, a powerful being at the Eternal realm—a realm they had dreamed of but would never attain in their lifetimes. The two looked at him expectantly. They had rendered such great service; surely they would receive a good reward, right? They didn't dare hope for a breakthrough to the Eternal realm, but an increase to level twenty Dominator should be feasible, shouldn't it?
As they were lost in pleasant dreams, they saw Ren Huang frown. Their hearts sank. To their surprise, Ren Huang's face lit up with joy, and he murmured to himself, "Such powerful faith energy?"
The two, not understanding, looked up at Ren Huang. Ren Huang examined them for a moment and asked, "Do you not have faith in this Lin Feng?"
Ji Dao was somewhat bewildered but answered truthfully. "Your Excellency jest. That Lin Feng is the protector of the opposing faction, our enemy. No matter how powerful he is, we would never have faith in him in this lifetime! Only beings like you are our goals to follow!"
He felt his words were well-spoken, but to his surprise, Ren Huang looked at him with disappointment. "Since that is the case, you are no longer useful!" With a wave of Ren Huang's hand, suffocating pressure, like biting cold blades, crushed Ji Dao, Xue Yin, and the others. In an instant, they died. On their astonished faces, it was clear they didn't understand what had happened. Why would their hard-earned patron attack them without a word?
As Tai Hao, Huang Shi, and the others stood dumbfounded, Ren Huang waved his hand again. The army brought by Ji Dao and the others was instantly routed, with no survivors. The once crowded star field suddenly became much more spacious. Ignoring the gazes of the enemy faction, Ren Huang was filled with excitement.
