Chapter 395: Luo Feng vs. the Three Lords of the Blood Crane Territory |
The Blood Lord, the Crane Lord, and the Shadow Lord all understood that even if they allowed Luo Feng to refine the Source World Origin of the Blood Crane Territory, the probability of success would still be very low. But none of them dared to gamble on it, nor were they willing to give Luo Feng even the chance to attempt the refinement.
“In the past, some Ancestor-Level existences have come to our Blood Crane Territory, yet none could even sense its Source World Origin. This cultivator lord, ‘Luo Feng,’ can sense it—clearly the Origin Path he controls… is highly compatible with the Source World Origin of the Blood Crane Territory.”
“He should only excel in the Life Direction. He likely isn’t proficient in the powers of the Undying Direction or the Shadow Direction. His chances of refining it are very low.”
“No matter how low the chances, we cannot let him get close!”
At this moment, the three Lords of the Blood Crane Territory coordinated with one another. Led by the Shadow Lord, they rapidly crossed vast distances.
Traveling alone and traveling while carrying companions made a huge difference in speed.
Yet in just a few breaths, the three Lords of the Blood Crane Territory had already arrived before Luo Feng.
“Hmm?”
While rushing forward at full speed, Luo Feng sensed three terrifying auras appearing ahead.
The Blood Lord had a slender body, with a pair of scaled wings. His entire body was covered in exquisite blood-colored scales, each one like a crystal of blood—resplendent and flawless.
The Crane Lord was a massive flying creature. His entire body was covered in feathers that emitted a silver-golden sheen, each feather like a weapon, indestructible.
The Shadow Lord was a vast, twisted phantom, with blood-colored eyes fixed on Luo Feng.
“Luo Feng,”
the Blood Lord spoke, “Shadow’s invasion of your cultivator territory was indeed his fault. But at the time, your side was under attack from the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction. The outside world believed you would be defeated, that your territory would fall completely. So all sides took the opportunity to seize some World Clusters. After the war ended, it was only natural for you to drive him out. Our Blood Crane Territory can promise… that we will never again invade the cultivators’ territory. Can you, Luo Feng, let this matter go?”
“A single promise, and you expect me not to pursue it?” Luo Feng looked at the three of them.
“What do you want?” the Crane Lord asked, somewhat irritated.
“You must compensate me triple the resources you obtained from the cultivators’ territory,” Luo Feng said. “Then I can let the matter rest.”
The Blood Lord, the Crane Lord, and the Shadow Lord hesitated.
“You must also promise that after receiving the compensation, you will never step into the Blood Crane Territory again,” the Blood Lord said. “If you agree, we are willing to give you this compensation.”
The Blood Lord understood very clearly—he controlled the Highest-Level Power of life, but Luo Feng controlled the Origin Path of that aspect. In terms of refining the Source World Origin of the Blood Crane Territory, Luo Feng’s chances were likely even higher than his own!
Such an opponent had to be driven away. He could not be allowed to return to the Blood Crane Territory.
“The triple compensation is for your invasion of the cultivators’ territory. As for the Blood Crane Territory? I will come whenever I wish,” Luo Feng replied. He had already sensed that the previously arrogant three Lords were now willing to pay triple compensation just to make him leave.
This meant that if he continued forward, he might cause them enormous losses—far exceeding the value of threefold resources.
“Luo Feng, the Blood Crane Territory does not welcome you. Leave immediately!” the Crane Lord roared, no longer able to suppress his anger.
“We’re offering triple resources and you still refuse to leave? Do you really think we have no way to deal with you?” the Blood Lord said coldly.
Luo Feng grinned. “You can try! Let’s see if you can stop me.”
“Attack!”
The Crane Lord let out a piercing cry and surged forward with endless Blood Sea waves.
The Blood Lord and the Shadow Lord struck at the same time.
“Rumble~~~”
This time, the three Lords jointly mobilized the power of the Blood Sea. Each of them had their own specialties, and under their coordination, the entire Blood Sea seemed to come alive! Endless surging waves roared with terrifying might.
“The three Lords together truly wield a much stronger Blood Sea,” Luo Feng showed no fear at all. He had experienced wars between two great factions—what was this in comparison?
Boom—
Luo Feng instantly drew his blade. As he did, he sensed countless phantom forces binding him—and even restraining his Life and Death Blade.
“Hmph.” Luo Feng unleashed his power, forcefully breaking the restraints, and struck the Crane Lord, who had rushed close.
The Crane Lord did not defend at all, allowing Luo Feng’s blade to slash his neck. The feathers at his neck shimmered with silver-gold light. Despite the immense close-range force of Luo Feng’s strike, the feathers actively dispersed the force. Only a few surface feathers cracked—and they instantly recovered.
“Rip—”
Ignoring Luo Feng’s strike, the Crane Lord’s sharp claws slashed at Luo Feng’s chest. Yet before reaching him, they were blocked by the Protective Energy Layer, causing only slight ripples.
At close range, both sides unleashed ferocious attacks, yet neither suffered significant damage.
“Whoosh—” Luo Feng saw the Crane Lord suddenly emit an extremely piercing sound. Its beak turned into a golden afterimage and struck!
The point it hit on Luo Feng’s Protective Energy Layer was actually pierced through!
A bloody hole appeared in Luo Feng’s chest—but it instantly healed.
“Huā!”
Countless silver-white lights erupted from the Crane Lord’s body. Each feather turned into a streak of light, attacking Luo Feng at point-blank range. Though numerous, each feather was weaker than that single peck, and none could penetrate the Protective Energy Layer.
“Crane Lord, your Undying Body does have some combat ability,” Luo Feng remarked.
The Crane Lord, however, felt unwilling. His full-strength attack had barely injured Luo Feng, leaving only a small bloody hole! But he knew very well—for someone like Luo Feng, with terrifying recovery ability, what was a hole like that?
Even if his entire body were completely destroyed, he could still re-form it. This was nothing more than a scratch.
“These Lords who have grasped the Origin Path are terrifying in their specialties. Luo Feng’s defensive methods are stronger than both of ours,” the Blood Lord transmitted mentally. “We should proceed with the original plan—completely intercept him.”
“Alright.” The Crane Lord had no better option.
In truth, the three Lords of the Blood Crane Territory excelled in Life, Undying, and Shadow—the three Highest-Level Powers—all of which leaned toward survival. As a result, their vitality was extremely tenacious, but their ability to kill enemies was lacking.
Their strength in survival also brought an advantage: throughout history, many Ancestor-Level existences in the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space had fallen. But the Blood Crane Territory had only ever birthed these three—and all three were still alive.
Because of their powerful Survival Capability—especially the Shadow Lord, who came and went without a trace—they often targeted weaker forces, which could do nothing against them.
But this time, they had provoked the cultivator faction!
“Rumble~~~~”
The surrounding Blood Sea surged, completely crushing Luo Feng’s Life-and-Death Domain and engulfing him entirely. Luo Feng resisted it using his Protective Energy Layer.
The Crane Lord and Blood Lord engaged him at close range—one with an Undying Body, the other merging with the Blood Sea. Meanwhile, the Shadow power restrained every part of Luo Feng’s body.
Not only his limbs—even inside his body, the Shadow power interfered.
“This feels awful.”
Despite Luo Feng’s powerful physical body and the vast energy of his 1.8 Billion Origins, he was entangled by the three Lords, unable to fly forward.
“Get lost!”
Blade light erupted from Luo Feng’s body. But the Crane Lord’s massive form wrapped around him, wings embracing him, enduring the blade strikes.
Even if slightly injured, the Crane Lord quickly recovered.
With his Undying Body, the only thing he truly feared was Luo Feng’s great destruction explosion. Now, with the Blood Lord assisting, even if heavily injured, he was confident he could survive.
……
Within the endless Blood Sea, clones of several World-Level Primordial Lifeforms silently observed.
“This cultivator lord is terrifying.”
“The three Lords together, with the Blood Sea, can only restrain him—they still can’t injure him.”
“They say one cultivator lord can fight several Ancestors. It seems true.”
“The cultivator faction is indeed powerful.”
These observers were deeply shocked.
Fighting three Lords alone in their home territory, yet not falling into disadvantage?
……
Though the Mysterious Place, the Blood Crane Territory, concealed the battle’s fluctuations, several existences within the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space still detected it.
A peculiar hidden world existed—completely undetectable by any lifeform, yet able to observe everywhere.
On its membrane, a gigantic eye appeared, watching the battle with curiosity.
“This Luo Feng—outside, even one versus three wouldn’t stop him. But here, with the Blood Sea, the three Lords gain at least fifty percent more strength. Luo Feng is restrained and cannot advance.”
“In the cultivator faction, the Star Light Lord breaks techniques with sheer force. This Luo Feng does the same… In the future, Luo Feng may become even more terrifying than the Star Light Lord.”
It paid close attention to Luo Feng.
From experience, it sensed that Luo Feng’s techniques contained the intent of Life and Death. If pushed to the extreme, this path would become one of the most terrifying in the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.
……
“Luo Feng went to the Blood Crane Territory?”
The Star Light Lord, through his many clones observing past, present, and future, naturally saw the battle.
“Luo Feng’s Primordial Life-and-Death Path is deeply focused on life. He has a slight chance of refining the Source World Origin of the Blood Crane Territory. No wonder the three Lords are going all out to stop him.” The Star Light Lord smiled.
Though he observed, he had no intention of helping.
Among the eight Lords of the cultivator faction, they only acted together against major faction enemies. For ordinary conflicts or adventures, each acted independently—unless help was requested.
……
Inside the Blood Crane Territory.
The Blood Sea roared. The three Lords fully blocked Luo Feng.
“Other techniques can’t break through them.”
With a thought, countless dazzling Origins flew out from Luo Feng’s body—360 million Origins.
They formed a complete formation.
These Origins contracted like beating hearts—then exploded completely, triggering a chain reaction that surged toward the Blood Lord and Crane Lord.
When all 1.8 billion Origins exploded, even with formation guidance, Luo Feng could not perfectly control the direction.
But with only thirty percent energy, he could direct most of the destructive force.
“Not good—”
The Crane Lord and Blood Lord were alarmed.
In an instant, the 360 million Origins detonated! Though only thirty percent of his energy, it was still comparable to all of Wu Lan’s energy reserves—terrifying in power.
The Crane Lord’s feathers shattered, and he was blasted backward. Yet mid-flight, aided by the Blood Lord, he rapidly recovered.
The Blood Lord merged into the Blood Sea, letting it absorb the damage.
“The power isn’t that great!” The Crane Lord felt relieved.
The true fear was Luo Feng’s full destruction explosion.
This one… was far weaker.
“A 360 million Origin explosion is indeed much weaker,” Luo Feng noted.
At their level, increasing killing move power was extremely difficult.
“Boom—”
After blasting them away, Luo Feng flew forward again.
“Stop him!”
The three Lords hurried to intercept again.
But as soon as they approached—
another 360 million Origins appeared.
Another explosion!
Again and again, Luo Feng advanced.
“How is this possible?”
“He can use this repeatedly?”
The three Lords were in disbelief.
Each interception ended with another massive explosion.
“My thirty percent explosion allows me to recover ten percent energy. So I only consume twenty percent each time.”
“In just two or three breaths, I can recover.”
Including battle and movement, every few breaths he could unleash another weakened destruction explosion—enough to blast them away and continue advancing.
“What do we do?”
The three Lords were stunned. No solution.
“Unstoppable…”
They finally realized—
they could not stop him.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
After thirty-nine explosions, the three Lords stopped pursuing.
They had given up.
Because just ahead—
was the Source World Origin of the Blood Crane Territory.
“I’ve arrived.”
Luo Feng sensed it clearly—the core origin lay ahead.
