Chapter 1002: Talent Technique

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Only the flesh and the blood type of living creature could practice the Nine Volume Manual. Luo Feng's Mosha body was an energy type living creature, and thus, his power was significantly weaker than his original earthling body and Golden Horned Beast body, even after being injected with the essence from an original real treasure like the "space heart."

Mosha body never surpassed the limit of increasing 100 times. It was destined for Mosha body to be far weaker when it came to strength. He was mainly useful for fleeing, hiding, and disguise. When it came to fighting, Luo Feng had to depend on his original body and the Golden Horned Beast body.

As for a body like Nine Remoteness Ocean, Luo Feng had chosen it because of the boundless ocean of godly power.

"Hahaha!" Luo Feng's laughter swept across the internal world like a shockwave. "Well, this is a happy surprise! The third body can practice the Nine Volume Manual, which means he has unlimited potential. Perhaps he can someday be Nine Remoteness Master's match. I'll call my third body… Remote Ocean body."

It was official. Luo Feng's original body and three additional bodies had been determined. He had his original earthling body, his Golden Horned Beast body, his Mosha body, and his Remote Ocean body.

Luo Feng was filled with boundless pride. With his original earthling body and these three bodies, nothing would stop him from becoming one of the great beings in the universe!

"The seed has been planted," he said. "It'll be up to my efforts to decide whether I remain a weak sapling or grow into the sturdiest tree! I need to study into my Remote Ocean body first."

Remote Ocean body looked exquisite—a giant body standing nearly 6,000 miles tall. Presently, he sat on the plain with his legs crossed like a giant sculpture.

"My strength is 300 times of that of a sector lord," Remote Ocean body said in a deep voice. "My Remote Ocean body's life gene level is 300 times while the sector lord level World Tree is around 1,000 times. That explains why I was able to successfully breed this Remote Ocean body but not the World Tree body. But it seems too large for a living being of 300 times life gene level…"

Generally speaking, the higher the life gene level, the larger the size. Of course, special organisms of the plant race and rock race had terrifically large bodies even if they had life gene levels that were hundreds of times. After all, even ordinary life forms like Cloud Contact Vines were already over one million miles tall. Life forms of the plant race had a natural size advantage.

"Remote Ocean body is a flesh and blood type living being. How can he be so large?"

Upon careful examination, Luo Feng realized Remote Ocean body had law energy flowing through his bones, muscles, vessels, and blood, and there was information hidden in the energy.

Luo Feng studied the information with his mind. "So, that's the case…" Remote Ocean body whispered. "Even Primal Chaos City Leader doesn't know what talent techniques Nine Remoteness Master has. He must have talent techniques, given that my Remote Ocean body has two talent techniques."

The information contained within the colossal body shed light on some of the mysteries of Nine Remoteness World. Remote Ocean body had two talent techniques. The first one was "Transformed Ocean" and the second was "Creation."

Transformed Ocean allowed Remote Ocean body to instantly turn into an ocean with a diameter of around 60,000 miles, and the time and space within it would be controlled by the ocean. The stronger Remote Ocean body got, the more control the body had over time and space. While he was still relatively weak, he could only affect time and space to a small extent, but when he became sufficiently strong, he would be like Nine Remoteness Master, whose grip on his Nine Remoteness Ocean had reached its limit. It was so powerful that no other universe masters even dared to enter Nine Remoteness Space.

The second talent technique was Creation. When the body became an ocean, its flesh and blood were all transformed into a Bloody Sea, after which his Creation talent could extract energies from the ocean and reorganize the life genes to create new life forms. He could even create a new race—if he was proficient with the talent—and the new lives would always submit to the master who had created them.

"Such powerful talent techniques…!" Remote Ocean body said in a deep voice. "No wonder the body is so enormous. He wouldn't be able to turn into an ocean with a smaller body. Once he turns into an ocean, he can, in a way, control time and space around the ocean, which makes him significantly stronger.

This kind of incredible attacking skill was a bit like the "Manipulation of Time and Space" talent used by World Trees.

"As for Creation, it might be considered a mediocre skill, but this is likely how the indigenous race in Nine Remoteness World was created. Energy life forms are the easiest to create, as long as there are life cores." Luo Feng nodded. "Although it's a mediocre talent at present, it could be used to create an entire race completely obedient to me.

"Haha!" Remote Ocean body's voice echoed through the internal world. "I've obtained everything I wanted—and even some things I didn't expect! This Remote Ocean Body can affect the space and time around him, and he has a talent technique in space and time. Plus, it's a flesh and blood type of living being."

"Still," muttered Luo Feng. "Why is the size of the Bloody Sea so bizarre? His talent technique says he can turn into an ocean with a diameter of around 60,000 miles, but that is much smaller than those of the princes and Nine Remoteness Master."

Remote Ocean body frowned and considered the implications of its size. Sector lord princes had Bloody Seas with diameters of around 50 million miles. Undying princes had Royal Seas with diameters of around 600 million miles. Universe knight princes had Royal Seas with diameters from 20 billion to 60 billion miles.

Although Remote Ocean body possessed the Transformed Ocean talent, he could only turn into a sea with a diameter of around 60,000 miles, which was minuscule even by the standards of sector lord princes.

"Transformed Ocean!"

Remote Ocean performed his talent technique.

Hong! Long!

His flesh and bones suddenly melted, changing into a surging Bloody Sea in Luo Feng's internal world. Luo Feng could feel his control on the Bloody Sea, but it was feeble; it was only at the sector lord level. However, he could sense time and space distinctly. Apparently, he had incredible talent in time and space.

"Larger," said Luo Feng. "Larger… Grow larger!"

Luo Feng controlled the Bloody Sea with his mind, but no matter how hard he tried, the diameter remained at 60,000 miles, which couldn't even match that of a sector lord prince.

The Bloody Sea churned in the sky while Mosha body and Golden Horned Beast stood on the plains, contemplating what they were seeing.

Luo Feng was perplexed. "Why…? Why is the volume of my transformed ocean so much smaller than that of the Nine Remoteness Master and the 108 princes?"

The Bloody Sea only had a diameter of only 60,000 miles. However, lots of unique life forms in the universe were 60,000 miles tall or long. As for creatures of the plant race and rock race, plenty of them were larger than that.

After he thought about it for a while, a thought occurred to Luo Feng.

"Something's wrong," he said. "Nine Remoteness Master and the 108 princes… They seem to be different from me somehow. My Transformed Ocean technique can transform my body into a Bloody Sea instantly, but it can also change it back to the original body, too."

"However," said Luo Feng, "those 108 Royal Seas and the Nine Remoteness Ocean haven't changed or even moved for hundreds of millions of years!"

Nine Remoteness Ocean had a diameter of over 10 light years. For an eternity, the Nine Remoteness Ocean had remained in the Ancestral God Secret Region, and the seas of the 108 princes had remained at the center of Nine Remoteness World.

"Primal Chaos City Leader teacher said that Nine Remoteness Master will sometimes go out and fight," said Luo Feng. "And if he dies, the Nine Remoteness Ocean will breed another Nine Remoteness Master. But how is that possible? Transformed Ocean and the original body can't exist at the same time. If the original body were killed, he would fall forever. If the body can be born again… that can only mean that it's not the original body that was killed."

Luo Feng stroked his chin in deep thought. "There's only one way Nine Remoteness Master can do this. He must have transformed his body into the ocean, then created an energy body using his Creation talent. The energy body can then be condensed again, even after being destroyed."

Nine Remoteness Ocean has never moved, Luo Feng realized. And perhaps it's not because he doesn't want to move. Perhaps he can't move at all. And that means… he never actually leaves Nine Remoteness Space. As vast as the Nine Remoteness Ocean is, it can never move.

Luo Feng quickly extrapolated from what he observed. Gradually, he saw the complete story.

Nine Remoteness master and his princes used some special methods to enlarge their oceans, thought Luo Feng. The tradeoff is that they can't move the oceans freely anymore. Even though they can't move the oceans, the volume gives them nearly boundless godly power, and thus, they become immortal.

Special organisms of the plant race and rock race also found it difficult to move. The larger the bodies were, the more difficult it was for them to move. For an enormous being like Nine Remoteness Ocean, it was unsurprising that he was unable to move at will.

"But how did they enlarge their oceans to such an extent?" Luo Feng muttered.

The Bloody Sea with a diameter of around 160,000 miles kept churning in the sky. What did he need to do to turn it into one with a diameter of 50 million miles? They were at completely different levels. A 50-million-mile ocean had much greater energy, and generally, even if someone became undying, their size did not change. That meant Remote Ocean body's height would remain at 6,000 miles, and the Transformed Ocean would remain 60,000 miles. Yet the oceans of the undying and universe knight princes kept expanding. The largest of which was 60 billion miles.

"How did Nine Remoteness Master and his prince accomplish that?"
