Chapter 393: The Mysterious Land ‘Blood Crane Territory’ |
The Blood Crane Territory lay extremely far from the cultivators’ territory.
Setting out from the border, it had taken more than a hundred days before he finally arrived at the mysterious land ‘Blood Crane Territory’.
“Finally arrived!”
Following his sensing of the Shadow Lord, and also using the ‘space-time route map’ recorded by Star Radiance as reference, Luo Feng had still arrived here with relative ease! Within the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, most mysterious lands were difficult to locate. Their reputations varied in scale, and the powers they contained also differed.
The most famous of them all was naturally the Eternal Land!
The Eternal Land had already extended an invitation to Luo Feng, and he also held a seat there! However, the cultivators’ territory had not yet been fully reclaimed. Even the celebration of Luo Feng becoming a Lord had not yet been held, so there was no urgency for him to head to the Eternal Land.
“The Blood Crane Territory is a relatively lesser-known ‘mysterious land’, and it has only given birth to three Ancestor-level existences.” Luo Feng observed the Blood Crane Territory before him.
Before his eyes stretched a vast and endless Blood Sea. Within the Blood Sea, countless lifeforms lurked faintly, all peering at Luo Feng.
“Blood Sea!”
Thus, upon seeing the Blood Sea, he instead felt an unusual sense of closeness.
“Ever since becoming a Lord, I no longer need to transform into a Blood Sea.” Luo Feng thought. In his weaker stages, he had been unable to perfectly control his power, which was why he transformed into a Blood Sea, even forming Blood Sea formations.
After achieving perfect control, whether in physical form or Blood Sea form, both were equally perfectly controlled and would not enhance his strength.
“This ‘endless Blood Sea’ before me is far stronger than my own body.” Luo Feng merely sensed it and felt that this endless Blood Sea seemed alive, slowly flowing, carrying an extremely strong sense of threat.
“Luo Feng!!!” A voice came from the depths of the endless Blood Sea. “Since you’ve come to the Blood Crane Territory, why don’t you dare enter? Are you afraid?”
“Afraid?” Luo Feng chuckled.
With his attainments in the Life-and-Death Path, Luo Feng instantly sensed all the lifeforms hidden within the vast Blood Crane Territory—three Ancestor-level existences, over five hundred World-level Primordial Lifeforms, and more than thirty billion High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms.
At this moment, the three Ancestor-level beings and over five hundred World-level Primordial Lifeforms could all observe the outside world, all staring at this lone Luo Feng, the Lord who had arrived alone!
“And you three weak Ancestors of the Blood Crane Territory think you can make me afraid?” Luo Feng sneered.
“If you’re not afraid, then come in!” another furious voice rang out.
“We three weak Ancestors would like to see just how strong you, a cultivator Lord, really are!” a third hoarse voice echoed.
The other two Lords of the Blood Crane Territory rarely acted outside, but now that their lair was being invaded, they naturally could not endure it!
“Hmph.”
Luo Feng smiled.
Boom!
His body directly flew into the endless Blood Sea. The moment he entered, Luo Feng immediately sensed the special nature of the ‘Blood Sea of the Blood Crane Territory’.
“This Blood Sea is formed from the perfect fusion of three highest-level powers.” Luo Feng judged instantly. “It corresponds exactly to the three major clan factions of the Blood Crane Territory.”
The numerous lifeforms born within the Blood Crane Territory mainly excelled in three directions of power: ‘Life’, ‘Undying’, and ‘Shadow’. Among these, the strongest of each faction were the Blood Lord, the Crane Lord, and the Shadow Lord.
“A Blood Sea formed from the perfect fusion of three highest-level powers is indeed far stronger than my own Blood Sea.”
“It contains the three characteristics of Life, Undying, and Shadow—making it more resilient and omnipresent.”
Luo Feng perceived the gap.
The three highest-level powers contained within the Blood Crane Territory were all extremely strong in survival. Combined, their survivability far surpassed even Wu Lan! In Luo Feng’s view, if someone could truly master these three highest-level powers, their ability to survive might even surpass ‘Origin’.
Origin merely pushed defense to the extreme, yet one could still be trapped!
But the ‘Shadow’ characteristic within the Blood Crane Territory was omnipresent!
“To master one highest-level power is already at the Ancestor level. I’ve never heard of an Ancestor who can master three highest-level powers.” Luo Feng thought to himself. Even among the cultivator Lords, only Star Radiance had mastered two highest-level ‘Paths’!
With the fusion of two Paths, Star Radiance’s survival ability ranked among the very strongest in the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space—after all, he existed across past and future! It was impossible even to trap him.
“These mysterious lands…”
Within the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, the ‘Source Worlds’ that were born combined multiple Origin Paths as their foundation.
Meanwhile, the ‘mysterious lands’ contained several highest-level powers, granting them various extraordinary properties. For example, within the ‘Infinite World’, one could reflect any location in the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space. Within the ‘Abyss of Destruction’, powerful weapons of destruction could be born…
“Source Worlds have a source.”
“Mysterious lands also have a core origin.” Luo Feng’s life attainments were extremely high. As he sensed the power of the endless Blood Sea, he faintly perceived its source.
“First, deal with the Shadow Lord!”
As Luo Feng flew into the endless Blood Sea, he continuously analyzed the many characteristics of the ‘endless Blood Sea of the Blood Crane Territory’, probing its underlying mysteries. At the same time, he flew at full speed toward the Shadow Lord.
“The Blood Crane Territory environment has limited effect on his strength.” The Shadow Lord, Blood Lord, and Crane Lord all sensed this.
The endless Blood Sea exerted tremendous pressure on outsiders.
But wherever Luo Feng passed, the Blood Sea naturally parted, offering minimal obstruction.
“He excels in Life-type methods and can influence the power of the Blood Sea to a certain extent,” said the Blood Lord.
“I said from the beginning there was no need to provoke the cultivator faction! Among the three strongest factions in the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, we should avoid them all. But you insisted on going your own way,” the Crane Lord said with dissatisfaction.
“And haven’t you used the resources I plundered?” the Shadow Lord retorted.
“I supported plundering weaker forces, not provoking the cultivator faction,” the Crane Lord countered.
“Enough! This Luo Feng Lord is coming to kill us. Join forces against him first,” said the Blood Lord.
“I’ll deal with this Luo Feng! I refuse to believe that within the Blood Crane Territory, he can do anything to me!”
The Shadow Lord immediately took the initiative to attack.
The Blood Lord and Crane Lord did not act in a hurry. After all, once any Ancestor-level existence used their true body, their strength would become terrifying. With the Life Core within the body, there would be an immense supply of energy, allowing many techniques to be unleashed, causing strength to surge several times over.
Without a Life Core, one could at most exert thirty percent of their strength.
The difference between having and not having a Life Core was enormous!
Thus, when the two major factions went to war, those Ancestors either did not participate at all, or if they did, it had to be with their true bodies containing a Life Core! Without a Life Core, at that level of battle, one would instead become a burden.
……
Luo Feng flew through the vast Blood Sea. The lifeforms born within the Blood Crane Territory all retreated far away, not daring to approach at all. Luo Feng also could not be bothered with those weaker World-level and High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms.
“It’s a cultivator Lord.”
“I heard that cultivator Lords are the most terrifying existences in the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.”
“Even the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction couldn’t defeat the eight Lords of the cultivators.”
These World-level Primordial Lifeforms had some knowledge. Many of their clones had plundered within the cultivators’ territory, so they naturally knew the latest intelligence. None of them dared provoke this Lord.
In front of such a Lord, a single glance might be enough to annihilate them.
Boom—
Luo Feng sped forward at extreme velocity.
“Hmm? He’s coming toward me!” Luo Feng sensed a massive aura rapidly approaching. This was far stronger than the Shadow Lord’s clone he had encountered earlier in the cultivators’ territory.
A massive phantom appeared ahead. Its body seemed to be formed from the solidification of countless ‘shadows’—a twisted, colossal entity, with a pair of blood-colored eyes staring at Luo Feng.
“Luo Feng!” The Shadow Lord’s true body let out a low roar. Its aura surged, stirring endless blood waves! After all, it had been born from the Blood Crane Territory and had mastered one of the highest-level powers, ‘Shadow’, allowing it to greatly mobilize the power of the Blood Sea.
“If this were outside, even with my true body, I would be much weaker than you. But in the Blood Crane Territory, my birthplace, you cannot defeat me!” The Shadow Lord’s voice resounded through every inch of space-time.
Luo Feng looked at him. “Just you? You three Lords of the Blood Crane Territory should come at me together.”
“Arrogant!”
The Shadow Lord flew into a rage. Its massive phantom body instantly merged with the surrounding Blood Sea. The vast Blood Sea surged forward, crashing and crushing toward Luo Feng.
“Hmph.”
Luo Feng stood in place. Around him, the Life-and-Death Domain resisted the Blood Sea. The Blood Sea forcefully surged through the domain, only to encounter the protective energy layer surrounding Luo Feng! This protective layer was supplied by ‘1.8 billion origins’.
“How is this possible?” The Shadow Lord, leveraging the advantage of terrain and mobilizing the vast Blood Sea power for a frontal assault—his might at least doubled within the Blood Crane Territory! Yet he could not break through Luo Feng’s protective energy layer.
Back when the two major factions clashed, Luo Feng had withstood attacks from dozens of Ancestors. Though he appeared heavily injured, in truth, most of the power had been blocked by his protective energy layer.
External observers, watching from beyond endless space-time, only knew that Luo Feng was highly resilient—they could not discern how much of that was due to the protective layer.
“That’s it?” Luo Feng said softly. “Perish.”
Endless power erupted instantly from Luo Feng’s body. Following life-sensing, it locked onto the enemy, penetrated, eroded, and annihilated!
These invasive forces took countless forms—threads, blade light, mist… endless and overwhelming! Luo Feng’s techniques fully exploited the advantage of ‘boundless energy’.
The Shadow Lord’s survivability was already extremely strong, yet he discovered that Luo Feng’s power was incredibly difficult to dispel. To remove one portion, he had to expend three or four times the energy himself.
“This Luo Feng’s power remains at peak without any decline. Even when surrounded by the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction, he could restore his companions to peak condition. In terms of energy recovery, he is likely among the very best in the entire Infinite Chaotic Origin Space. Even within the Blood Crane Territory, I cannot outlast him.” The Shadow Lord understood that even with his homeland supplying energy, he would eventually die in a prolonged battle.
“Kill.”
Shadow—was everywhere.
It existed outside, and it also existed within.
A terrifying force erupted from inside Luo Feng’s body, attempting to tear him apart.
However, every part of Luo Feng’s body was flawless and incomparably robust! The Shadow Lord’s internal assault caused only slight injuries, which vanished completely in an instant.
Rip—
With Shadow fused into everything, even the surrounding space-time seemed to become part of the Shadow Lord’s body. Space-time itself tore apart, ripping at Luo Feng’s body.
All kinds of attacks—internal and external, omnipresent—struck from every direction.
Yet Luo Feng remained without flaw. The most core ‘1.8 billion origins’ were the most abundant and stable part of his entire body’s energy.
“The power of Shadow is indeed somewhat troublesome.” Luo Feng extended his hand, and a blade appeared within it.
