Chapter 664: Statue

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed like lightning. He looked up at the huge beast god statue which was ahead of him. While studying it, his golden horned beast body in his internal world was studying the tiny statue and they compared.

”Hm?”

Luo Feng walked about the statue, fast as a blur, each step crossing over thousands of km.

”Your majesty?” Dylan asked curiously.

”Dylan, what is his majesty Luo Feng doing?” Si Fan Qi asked curiously as well. ”Does he really want to inspect every corner of this statue? However, countless people have done it over and over before yet none have found anything special.”

”I don’t know either.” Dylan shook his head.

As the two of them were chatting, Luo Feng had flown into the sky to gaze at the statue from thousands of km up, looking down at its back, neck, head portions.

After a while.

Luo Feng had gotten a good look of the entire beast god statue.

”Hu.”

His gaze finally shifted from the statue and down at the bottom of the canyon. With one glance, that area was tens of thousands of km wide and a million km long. Other than a few palace constructs there, he could see crossed legged gold horn race warriors training there.

Over 100 million of them were present. Almost all of them were sitting crossed legged, the formless energy from that…was no weaker than the beast god statue itself.

”Over 100 million warriors, the many generations of warriors have all come to study this statue, wanting to become as great a being as Xi Luo Duo.” Luo Feng shook his head, after which he swiftly descended like a shooting star, slowing down as he reached the bottom, his silver metal boots gently landing.

”Your majesty.” Dylan and Si Fan Qi came over.

”I need to think about it.” Luo Feng said so and sat crossed legged on the rocky ground, his armor splitting some of the rocks below.

Dylan and Si Fan Qi stood beside him and protected him.

”So it’s like that, this huge statue actually has such a difference from my small statue from blood river continent.” Luo Feng was shocked from his comparison before. ”They are similar in appearance, they are definitely the same beast god. Their scale numbers are the same too, a total of 90,729 scales.”

”The scales however are different in structure. Also, this huge statue doesn’t have the god charm of the small one, the same image.”

Luo Feng frowned and pondered.

The two of them had huge differences in structure. One was over 10,000 km long while the other was only about 30cm tall and 1m long. However, no matter how different they were in size and posture, the number of scales were exactly the same.

Even the scales on the sleeping huge statue, the ones on it’s chest or under its claws etc, those not visible to the eye, Luo Feng used his spirit energy to check and realized, even those in between areas had the same number of scales.

It was almost as though this ancient beast lying there was made into a statue itself.

”How strange.”

”The number of scales are the same, both counting to 90,729. However, the structure of the scales are different, the feeling it gives me…is like the ones on the small statue are more organized with charm and imagery. However, there’s no rule to the ones on this big statue, yet it still gives off such a terrifying aura.”

”Just what is going on?”

Luo Feng pondered hard.

...

Ever since Xi Luo Duo had left this statue here, over the generations, there’s been countless warriors coming here to study it. Even great human beings have come here, like some universe knights and country leaders, yet none have comprehended this beast god statue.

Maybe some have understood it, but chose to keep it a secret.

However, there hasn’t been even one public announcement from anyone about comprehension of the statue.

With so many absolute beings not getting anything from it, for a small being like Luo Feng who had just stepped into the sector lord level, with some miraculous encounters, to actually comprehend it…it was without a doubt just a dream.

...

Luo Feng pondered there, and in an instant, over 3 months had passed.

Dylan, Si fan Qi, Kashna and the 5 sector lord guards all stood guard patiently. Elder Kebu had left immediately after arriving, saying he wanted to meet his good friends in the beast god canyon.

Dylan and the 5 sector lords weren’t bored either. This was the 1st time they saw this huge beast god statue, they all tried their best to study it.

They were dreaming too…

That they may be able to comprehend it, that way, they would improve by leaps and bounds.

Si Fan Qi and Kashna however were bored to death, they had already tried it a long time ago.

”Hu.”

Luo feng took a long breath.

”Your majesty?” Dylan and Si Fan Qi immediately looked over.

”Nothing.” Luo Feng smiled and shook his head, after which he closed his eyes again and sent a large portion of his consciousness into his internal world.

Within his internal world, it was vast and endless.

The Yun Mo planet ship was stopped in a grass patch. With his internal world now, the ship needn’t be placed in Babata’s storage unit anymore.

”Babata, combine the pictures I recorded before with this beast god statue and project it.” The black clothed Luo Feng stood beside the ship and ordered.

”Understood.”

The Yun Mo planet ship immediately shot out a beam of light, forming an enormous sleeping beast god statue that stretched over 10,000 km long. This was exactly similar to the one in reality. Even if it was a simple projection, it still gave off a terrifying aura.

Only that it wasn’t as obvious as the real statue.

”I dare say.” Black cloth Mosha Luo Feng stared at the projection, his eyes gleaming, ”The problem is in the scales!”

”The huge statue and the small statue both have a peculiar 90,729 scales. One of them is over 10,000 km long, while the other is just 1m in size. Yet, they have the same number of scales. I think that if the number of scales are any different, there wouldn’t be any aura.”Luo Feng had many thoughts in his head, immediately ordering, ”Babata, make some changes to this projection, split one of the big scales into 2.”

”Yes.”

Babata complied.

One of the huge scales on the projection in the sky was split into 2 smaller ones.

Rumble!

The pressure dissipated and the originally terrifying projection became nothing more than a simple projection with no aura at all.

”Indeed!” Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed.

”Revert it back to original, also, change the veins of one of the scales.” Luo Feng ordered.

After reverting it, the pressure came back.

With the change in the veins, the pressure dissipated again.

...

Luo Feng could confirm that the problem was within the 90,729 scales.

Black cloth Luo Feng waved and the mini statue of the beast god appeared. This small version stood on all 4s, its horn raised and it gave off a powerful aura. That unique charm…was almost like staring straight at a living ancient beast god.

”Babata, blow up the projection of this small statue up to 10,000 km long.” The black clothed Luo Feng ordered.

”Yes.”

Immediately, two incredibly huge beast god projections appeared side by side. One was in a sleeping position while the other standing upright, filled with killing intent and ferociousness.

”Both have pressure.”

The black clothed Luo Feng rubbed his chin, muttering, ”The sleeping beast god’s pressure is stronger, the standing one is weaker somewhat. No…not right, I should say the standing one has charm and unique imagery, and it’s controlling its aura, while the huge statue doesn’t have that charm or unique imagery. Looking at the sleeping beast god statue, I cannot picture a living beast god, as it has no charm. also its aura is released loosely, hence it feels that strong.”

As long as one wasn’t dumb.

One could clearly feel that the standing beast god statue was obviously more lifelike, almost like a real beast god.

One felt like it was living.

While the other gave the sensation that it was dead.

The difference was huge.

”The veins on the scales are different.” Black cloth Luo Feng thought. ”I’ll give it a shot.”

Rumble…in the distance a black silhouette flew over, landing in the grassy patch. It was an enormous mountain like beast, the golden horned beast.

”The golden horned beast is extremely adept at studying the beast god statue.” Black clothed Luo Feng muttered. ”I’ll let it try and carve the beast god statue.”

Right, carve!

Personally carving one to experience the difference in the veins, this was the method Luo Feng had come up with.

”I’ll first carve a sleeping beast god statue.” The black clothed Luo Feng thought. Immediately, a large amount of world energy gathered and a huge mountain range over 10,000 km long was purely used for carving. Also, the world energy simultaneously produced over 10,000 different sorts of carving blades, the big ones were over 100km long, the small ones were smaller than ants in size.

...

The golden horned beast stood in the grass patch and waved its scaled wings, flying around the over 10,000 km long mountain range. It simultaneously used spirit energy to control over 10,000 carving blades, swiftly beginning to carve through the mountain range.

When one’s strength reaches sector lord level, while controlling spirit energy, even as delicate as 1mm, or 1 micro meter or nanometer, not a single mistake can be made!

”Success.”

After awhile, the huge sleeping beast god statue was carved, extremely life like.

”It sure was hard, every vein on the scales were all incredibly complex. However, it’s strange that there isn’t any aura at all?” The golden horned beast stood in mid air, its gaze was curious. ”No matter, I’ll try and carve the tiny beast god statue.”

...

Another over 10,000 km long mountain range appeared and the golden horned beast once again controlled over 10,000 carving blades to begin its carving.

The beast god statue’s overall shape was easy to carve, the main thing was how complex the scales were.

Howl!

As it carved the 12th scale, the golden horned beast let out a painful howl. The huge head shook and braced against the pain as it tried to carve the veins of the scale. The more it carved, the more it howled in pain, almost like a formless restriction was pressuring its body, and that formless pressure worked directly on its soul.

Howl…The beast cried in pain.

Its nose, eyes and scales on its wings, claws and tail began to bleed gold blood.

With a huge howl, it completely fell from the air and crashed into the grass.
