Chapter 559: Two Tigers Fighting
As his understanding of Teacher Xuan Huang's strength became clearer and clearer, Luo Feng's confidence in himself also continued to grow.

After all, he might sometimes doubt his own abilities, talents, and other things, but as long as he thought of someone like Master Xuan Huang, he would be able to look favorably upon him——

At least it means that I am indeed outstanding in some aspects.

In short, Luo Feng might not believe in his own judgment, but he would never doubt the judgment of Teacher Xuan Huang.

At this moment, when Babata proposed to him to take over the body of the golden-horned beast and give up his identity as an earthling, the reason why he still firmly believed that earthlings might not be so mediocre was precisely because of Master Xuanhuang's recognition of him.

"Perhaps, in the eyes of a truly powerful person like Teacher Xuan Huang, the so-called race and bloodline are all insignificant things... Although from my current perspective, I still don't understand what is the most important thing, but I should believe in his vision..."

Fundamentally speaking, this was the real reason why Luo Feng rejected Babata's suggestion.

In fact, he was right to think so.

According to the description in the original book, bloodline is important, but the factor that really limits the high-level development of an ethnic group is actually will and state of mind.

The people on Earth are actually a race that is more gifted in state of mind and will, created by the Hermit through various means after he summed up the reasons for his failure in his previous life.

However, what the people on Earth lack is actually backwardness at the genetic level.

This leads to the fact that although the Earthlings have a great advantage in terms of mentality and will in the later period...

However, relying solely on the genetic level of Earthlings, it is extremely difficult to cultivate to the stellar level. As for the so-called late stage - the strongest in the universe or even higher levels - they simply cannot reach it!
If it fails in the early stage, how can it show its advantages in the later stage?

In the original novel, the reason why Luo Feng was able to succeed was because he possessed a special soul born from the earth, as well as the genetic superiority of the golden-horned beast and even his various clones.

Of course, the most important thing is the Nine Tribulations Secret Book, which helped him reach the level of perfect genes that is rare in the ages.

But Luo Feng’s current situation is no longer the same as in the original book.

He obtained part of Chai Xin's inheritance and obtained and practiced the Nine-Transformation Golden Body.

This Nine-Turn Golden Body Secret Technique has, to a large extent, made up for Luo Feng's genetic deficiencies as an Earthling.

Because what the Nine-Transformation Golden Body improves is far more than just combat power, but covers the all-round qualities of a living being!

The most important thing is that the effect of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body will not weaken as the practitioner’s strength increases.

On the contrary, as Luo Feng becomes stronger, the effect of the Nine Transformations Golden Body will become stronger!
Therefore, even if Luo Feng did not take over the body of the golden-horned beast now, with the blessing of the Nine-Transformation Golden Body, he would be able to cultivate to an extremely high level, and even the stellar level and the cosmic level would not become an insurmountable obstacle for him.

"In that case, let's make it soul slavery. This way, even if the golden-horned beast acquires three powerful clones and its strength increases countless times, it will still be my slave, which is equivalent to my strength increasing. In addition, it will not make me lose my inseparable identity as an Earthling."

Luo Feng pondered for a moment and finally made this choice.

He did not show any impulse, his tone was firm and calm, and there would definitely not be any change.

"I really don't understand, what is there for you to be attached to as a mediocre and trashy Earthling?"

Babata was still complaining, but the look in his eyes was becoming softer and softer, as if he was accepting Luo Feng more and more in his heart.

Although he did not understand why he had such a change - rationally, he clearly felt that Luo Feng's thoughts and actions were very stupid.

"I still want to remind you, the biggest difference between possession and soul slavery..."

Babata was silent for a moment before continuing.

"Although both methods can greatly enhance your strength, and even enhance your soul slavery to a greater extent - after all, while you have yourself, it is equivalent to having four additional powerful subordinates."

"If you want to take over someone else's body, you will have to give up your original Earth body. Even if you give birth to another Earth clone, it is still just a clone. From then on, your original body will be the golden-horned beast."

"However, possessing a body has one irreplaceable benefit - that is the improvement of your talent. In short, if the golden-horned beast becomes your soul slave, then no matter how much its cultivation increases, it will not be of any substantial benefit to you."

"The most obvious point is that no matter how powerful the golden-horned beast is, if you cannot cultivate to the immortal realm with your earthling body, you will still die as time goes by."

“Even if the golden-horned beast becomes the legendary immortal king, more powerful than your teacher, or even becomes the supreme master of the universe... you yourself will still only be a person with a limited lifespan.”

"On the contrary, if you possess the body of the golden-horned beast, your talent will also skyrocket. At the very least, you will have no problem becoming a world master. In addition, your chances of achieving immortality and having an eternal life will also greatly increase."

"Isn't the most essential pursuit of a living being to survive? Lifespan is the root of everything!"

Babata spoke a long string of words, which were rare without any sarcasm, but were full of earnest advice.

To some extent, Luo Feng's insistence on not giving up his "mediocre" identity as an earthling has actually touched him.

But on the other hand, it was this kind of touch that made him want to make Luo Feng understand the great significance of this decision.

He didn't want Luo Feng to act on impulse and make a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life.

However, after listening to his long speech, Luo Feng pondered for a long time, and finally smiled and shook his head, and even asked back: "As an intelligent life, Babata, it stands to reason that you already have the characteristics of immortality, so what has your goal all along been?"

"If the essence of life is to pursue a longer life, you have already achieved it. Why do you care so much about my decision and life and death?"

"I believe that even if you are not a human being, or even a real living being, you must understand that the most important thing in the world is not just the word 'being alive'."

"In other words, although being alive is the foundation of everything and extremely important, there must be something more important than being alive. Otherwise, if we just live for the sake of living, then wouldn't the existence of life seem too boring?"

At this moment, Luo Feng had figured out what he was pursuing, and every word he said came from his heart, with sincerity beyond words.

"I……"

Even a proud guy like Babata was confused by his question at this moment and had no idea how to respond.

Because what Luo Feng said was the truth.

As an intelligent life, he already possesses an infinite lifespan, but why is he still so obsessed with finding an excellent successor for his old master?
Is it just the instinct of intelligent life?
Obviously, things are not that simple.

"Well, since you have made your choice, I have nothing to say. How about this, I will teach you the soul slavery method of the Meteorite Star lineage..."

In the end, Babata actually let out a long sigh and agreed with Luo Feng's decision.

This recognition was not only due to his reluctance to accept the old master's successor, but also, to a large extent, he was completely moved by what Luo Feng said -

"The highest meaning of life should not be just to live." As Babata's voice fell, Luo Feng felt that a string of information suddenly appeared in his mind, which was the soul enslavement method of the Yunmo Star lineage.

"Thank you, Babata."

Luo Feng smiled and thanked Babata sincerely.

"Thanks for nothing, this is your own choice. If you regret it later, don't blame me for not explaining it to you clearly!"

Babata seemed a little uncomfortable with Luo Feng's attitude at this moment, and instantly returned to his arrogant nature.

"Also, let me tell you that although soul enslavement is much easier than taking over another's body, it is still very difficult. You can't do it just because you want to!"

After saying this, Babata didn't wait for Luo Feng's response, and his figure turned into rain of light and disappeared.

Seeing this, Luo Feng smiled even more and murmured, "Don't worry, since I have made a decision, I will definitely not regret it."

After saying this, he turned his gaze back to the seabed.

"Human, you are really going too far. If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you really think I am a sick cat?"

Deep in the ocean, the golden-horned beast has realized that if it continues to escape like this, there will be no good results.

The strength of the human warrior behind it is much stronger than it.

It seemed like he was having a hard time chasing after the one behind, as if he would reach his limit at any moment, but in fact, after chasing for such a long time, he still looked quite reluctant.

The golden-horned beast is so intelligent that even a cub should not be underestimated.

After a short escape, it soon realized that the mysterious human being behind it was chasing it on purpose!
The opponent wants to use this method to exhaust all its strength, so that he can take it down without any effort in the end.

This is indeed the case. If Bro Nolanshan really wanted to hunt it down, it wouldn't take so much time.

As early as three minutes after Jinjiao entered the water, he would be caught up by him.

Even though the golden-horned beast's strength far exceeds that of human warriors of the same level, there is still an unimaginable huge gap when facing a sixth-level star-level existence.

"Just surrender honestly, and I will give you a chance to live. I believe that with your wisdom, you must know that the gap in strength between us is impossible to overcome."

Hearing the angry and helpless roar of the golden-horned beast, an expectant smile involuntarily emerged on Bro Nolanshan's face.

He understood deeply that the reaction of the golden-horned beast at this moment meant that it had truly fallen into a helpless situation.

The way things are going at the moment, it won't take too long to take it down.

The most important thing is that after this fierce chase, the golden-horned beast has clearly shown a downward trend in terms of its aura, speed and other aspects.

How could a guy who was originally far inferior to him in strength and now was further weakened be his opponent?

"Bullshit! We, the Golden Horned Beast Clan, will only die standing up and will never live on our knees! If you keep pursuing me like this, I will not let you off even if I die!"

The golden-horned beast let out an earth-shaking roar, and even though it was in such a dangerous situation, it still refused to show any sign of surrender.

This is not surprising. Many life forms in the universe have the spirit of preferring death to surrender.

The desire for freedom is the nature of all life.

What’s more, what about a special life form like the golden-horned beast?
They value freedom and dignity even more than their own lives.

From countless inherited memories, this giant golden-horned beast cub has deeply understood what a horrible situation it would face if it were caught by others.

They would either be taken in as soul slaves, or possessed by other bodies, or they would be killed, and even their bodies would be fully utilized...

In short, even if it can still survive, it will lose all its independent consciousness and become a complete slave and vassal.

These three outcomes are all unacceptable to the powerful golden-horned beast.

Therefore, 99% of the golden-horned beasts, and even other special life forms, would choose to die together if they knew they could not escape.

This is also the fundamental reason why Bro Nolanshan has been reluctant to launch a head-on battle against the golden-horned beast.

At this moment, he felt the determination in the tone of the golden-horned beast and knew that the other party had realized that the situation was difficult to change and would launch a counterattack at any time to destroy both sides.

Bro Nolanshan's vigilance has quietly increased to the extreme.

Sure enough, the golden-horned beast went crazy.

"Since you don't want to give me a way to live, then let's just die together! My Golden Horned Beast clan will never accept slavery in any form! I'd rather die than be without freedom!"

The golden-horned beast roared towards the sky, and at the same time its body suddenly stopped, and it no longer fled.

"Die!"

In an instant, its body, which was over a hundred meters long, suddenly burst into golden light, making it look like a powerful divine beast.

At the same time, the aura of the golden-horned beast rose sharply, and in just a few blinks of an eye, it had increased several times!
"Ok?"

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from the golden-horned beast, Bro Nolanshan felt his heart beating violently and uncontrollably.

Although his strength is much higher than that of the golden-horned beast, his knowledge of this tribe still makes him extremely vigilant.

"You evil creature, no matter how much you resist, you are already mine! Continuing to struggle like this will only increase your pain!"

Bro Nolanshan's voice was cold, and the light on the silver sword reappeared, as if the Milky Way from the sky was falling, enough to crush everything in the world.

"Luo Feng, if these two guys fight each other, the end result will definitely be that both sides will suffer..."

High in the sky, Babata gave a nervous reminder.

"The critical moment has come, don't miss the opportunity!"
