Chapter 394: Where Was He Flying To? |
Luo Feng stood where he was, the Blade of Rift Space in his hand transforming into dazzling, resplendent streaks of blade light!
Each streak of blade light contained one ten-thousandth of his total energy reserves. In the blink of an eye, he had already unleashed over a hundred slashes, and Luo Feng did not pause in the slightest, continuously releasing endless streams of blade light.
His energy recovery speed completely kept up with the consumption.
“This is—”
The Shadow Lord’s heart trembled. He existed everywhere, yet at this moment, every inch around Luo Feng encountered incomparably terrifying ‘blade light’. This blade light contained the power of life and death, and its might was so great it made one’s heart tremble! Hundreds of densely packed blade lights crisscrossed heaven and earth, instantly annihilating the entire surrounding Blood Sea.
With me as the center, all surrounding space-time, everything in existence, without distinction—everything was destroyed!
At this moment, Luo Feng stood in place. In the surrounding region, only boiling-like streams of energy remained, and even space-time itself was in the process of repairing.
“Hm? This Shadow Lord really knows how to hide.”
Luo Feng’s gaze swept across and locked onto a distant location.
Wherever matter existed, there would be a corresponding ‘shadow’! Thus, the Shadow Lord could instantly appear at extremely distant locations. Even though Luo Feng had just destroyed a vast surrounding area, it had only caused the Shadow Lord minor injuries.
“I can’t resist him head-on! I just tested it slightly and was already injured.” The Shadow Lord confirmed one thing—when facing this domineering and overwhelmingly powerful Luo Feng, he could only evade!
“Lock onto the enemy!”
Luo Feng swung his blade again. This time, however, his blade light turned into dark blade light, extremely soft and insidious.
The blade light was restrained, following fluctuations of Life Aura, penetrating through space-time barriers and the obstruction of the Blood Sea, forcibly catching up to every portion of the Shadow Lord’s life force. Ensuring that every strike would hit the enemy.
Under the condition of ‘guaranteed hit’, the power of each strike dropped drastically, at most only one hundred-thousandth of Luo Feng’s energy reserves.
“When I unleash full power, the might is great, but against types like the Shadow Lord who excel at evasion, I can’t even touch them.” Luo Feng understood this clearly. “But by locking onto Life Aura to ensure guaranteed hits, the power of each strike drops significantly.”
For existences like the Minghuang Lord, being able to achieve both ‘guaranteed hit’ and ‘extreme speed’ under a full-power killing move that burned the main combat clone was already remarkable.
“The ‘Primordial Blade Dao’ I am currently comprehending still revolves around the fusion of life and death, with destruction as the primary aspect,” Luo Feng thought. “The direction I pursue must first be ‘guaranteed hit’, and only then power.”
“Guaranteed hit and power are the core pursuits of my Primordial Blade Dao.”
Whether facing the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction or fighting the Shadow Lord, Luo Feng had realized the importance of ‘guaranteed hit’! No matter how powerful an attack was, if it could not hit the enemy, its effectiveness would be greatly diminished.
For example, his Origin Great Destruction was an indiscriminate attack in all directions. After using it once, any opponent who had fought Luo Feng would be wary of this move.
With an extremely powerful body, endless energy, the ability to rapidly restore allies to peak condition, and fairly strong techniques… these methods already placed him at the level of a typical Lord.
But Luo Feng was not satisfied.
He wanted to compensate for his weaknesses and sought to create a second path at the Primordial level.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~” At this moment, Luo Feng unleashed over a thousand dark blade lights. Each one followed Life Aura, pierced through space-time, and struck the enemy.
“Hmm?” The Shadow Lord was so frightened that he rapidly retreated. These blade lights continuously destroyed his bodily power, and even the Blood Sea’s recovery could not keep up.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, he crossed more than half of the Blood Crane Territory and arrived beside the Blood Lord and the Crane Lord.
“He runs quite fast.” Luo Feng stopped. Even with Life Aura locking, the range of his techniques was limited.
“There’s no way to fight at all.”
The Shadow Lord felt somewhat aggrieved as he looked at the Blood Lord and the Crane Lord beside him. “Luo Feng’s body is too powerful. Previously, when he joined forces with Wu Lan, with the help of a cultivator formation, he could withstand the siege of a hundred Ancestor-level beings. Now, even acting alone, I can’t harm him in the slightest. Fighting him is just me taking a beating!”
“With your abilities, he can hit you?” the Crane Lord asked in confusion.
“As long as it’s within a certain range, no matter how I change or shift positions, I still can’t escape his dark blade light,” the Shadow Lord shook his head.
“It’s Life Aura locking,” the Blood Lord said. He also controlled top-tier life-based power and could likewise lock onto Life Aura, silently infiltrating enemies. “This Luo Feng should be skilled in life-type power, but the ‘Dao’ he controls in this aspect makes him stronger than me.”
Lords grasped the essential Dao. With the same power, they could unleash far greater might.
They could even create bodies that best suited themselves.
“This Luo Feng has a powerful body and fierce techniques,” the Blood Lord said calmly. “But his weakness is obvious—his movement technique is clearly poor. As long as we avoid him, he simply cannot touch us.”
The Blood Lord, who specialized in life-type power, also had weak movement techniques, so he understood Luo Feng’s situation very well.
However, the Blood Crane Territory was his homeland! Within his domain, the Blood Lord was far more agile than Luo Feng.
“Are we just going to keep avoiding him?” the Shadow Lord asked.
“This is a bit frustrating,” the Crane Lord said unwillingly. Having mastered the Undying Direction, the Crane Lord did not fear battle at all.
“Are you stronger than dozens of Ancestors working together?” The Blood Lord glanced at them. “Even if you two join forces, you can’t harm him in the slightest. Crane! Don’t think your body is strong enough… when that Luo Feng’s Great Destruction erupted, even the Giant God Emperor, the Primordial Beast Ancestor, and the Black Tide Ancestor didn’t dare resist it head-on. It even heavily injured twenty-six surrounding Ancestors! Are you sure you can withstand it?”
The Crane Lord’s heart trembled.
In terms of defensive ability, compared to Wu Lan, who had mastered the Origin Path of Matter, the Crane Lord was far inferior.
“If the three of us join forces and take advantage of the terrain, mobilizing the vast power of the Blood Sea to assist us… then I would dare to fight him in close combat,” the Crane Lord said. Having witnessed Luo Feng’s Great Destruction eruption, he still felt somewhat uncertain in a one-on-one fight.
“Can we kill him? Can we even cause him a bit of trouble?” The Blood Lord shook his head. “Since we pose no threat, there’s no need to fight. If we avoid him, he won’t be able to touch us within the Blood Crane Territory. Naturally, he will give up and leave.”
“He’s already come to the Blood Crane Territory, and we still have to endure?” the Shadow Lord said unwillingly.
“Fine, we’ll listen to elder brother,” the Crane Lord nodded.
Because only with the Blood Lord’s support—endless vitality assisting him—combined with his own undying ability, would he dare to fight Luo Feng in close combat.
Since the Blood Lord refused meaningless combat, the Crane Lord could only endure.
……
Luo Feng could sense that the Shadow Lord’s true body had fled across more than half of the Blood Crane Territory in an instant, and the three of them showed no intention of approaching.
“They’re staying more than half the territory away from me and refusing to fight?”
He had to admit—if the three of them avoided him, there was nothing he could do. Unless he called for help! For example, inviting the Star Light Lord, who had the number one mastery of space-time in the entire Infinite Chaotic Origin Space—if he were present, no enemy could escape!
Every Dao had its strengths and weaknesses.
Although cultivator Lords were powerful—each could rival two or three Ancestors—when it came purely to survival, a single Lord could even withstand the siege of seven or eight Ancestors. But in a true one-on-one battle, completely killing an Ancestor… no cultivator Lord had ever achieved it.
Historically, it always required multiple Lords working together to completely extinguish an Ancestor’s life.
“Since they’re avoiding me…” Luo Feng gazed into the distance, sensing the ‘core origin’ of the vast Blood Sea before him. He felt both familiarity and curiosity toward this endless Blood Sea.
After all, the power of the Blood Sea was formed from three types of highest-level power, one of which was life-type power.
In fact, in the short time since entering the Blood Crane Territory, Luo Feng had already comprehended seventy to eighty percent of this life-type power. However, he did not think highly of it—it was somewhat narrow.
“Let me go take a look at the core origin of this Mysterious Place.” Luo Feng shot forward at extreme speed, piercing through the endless Blood Sea, heading straight toward the location he sensed.
As he flew, he drew closer and closer to the core origin of the Blood Crane Territory.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
Luo Feng faintly began to sense a kind of fluctuation, as if it were the heartbeat of the entire endless Blood Sea, while the ‘core origin’ resembled its heart. Just sensing this heartbeat gave Luo Feng a feeling of pressure.
Compared to the endless Blood Sea of the entire Blood Crane Territory, he himself was still much weaker.
“Interesting.” Luo Feng became even more excited.
He had long heard that within the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, there existed dangers capable of annihilating a Lord’s main combat clone. However, as a Lord, his Dao was part of himself—immortal and indestructible—so he did not fear exploring mysterious places.
“I want to see what’s special about the core of a Mysterious Place.” Luo Feng grew increasingly expectant. He had never witnessed the core of such a place before. On the cultivator side, the Mysterious Place known as the ‘Origin’ was refined and controlled by Yuan, while later Lords only reinforced its formations.
Luo Feng flew at high speed, passing through layer after layer of blood waves.
“Where is he flying to?”
The three Lords of the Blood Crane Territory, who had been avoiding battle, sensed that something was wrong.
“He’s rapidly approaching the ‘Blood Crane Territory Origin’!”
The expressions of the Blood Lord, Crane Lord, and Shadow Lord all changed.
For Ancestors to achieve immortality, there were generally two methods. One was the evolution of the Life Core—once it reached a certain level, it naturally gained the ability of immortality. For example, Origin, the Mother of Space-Time, and the Yanhuo Ancestor were all like this. This was the most common method.
The other was to control a Mysterious Place, merging the Life Core with the ‘Mysterious Place Origin’. As long as the Mysterious Place remained, one would not perish. The Infinite Serpent Ancestor was such a case.
By controlling a Mysterious Place, one could also utilize part of its power to strengthen oneself. For example, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor could render its body intangible and comparable in size to a World Cluster!
One must know—the Infinite World could reflect the entire Infinite Chaotic Origin Space. Even using only part of its power, its effects were immense, and in direct combat, it feared no opponent.
“Could it be he wants to refine the Blood Crane Territory Origin?”
The Blood Lord, Crane Lord, and Shadow Lord had always desired to refine and control the Blood Crane Territory Origin, achieving true immortality. However, the difficulty was too great, and none of them had succeeded.
Just like the Infinite Serpent Clan—there were over ten Ancestor-level beings, yet only the Infinite Serpent Ancestor could refine the Infinite World Origin.
Similarly, in the Giant God Race, even including the Giant God Emperor, not a single Ancestor-level existence had been able to refine the Giant God Realm Origin. This demonstrated how difficult it was to refine the origin of a Mysterious Place.
“We can’t let Luo Feng get close—stop him!” At this moment, the three Lords of the Blood Crane Territory were in complete agreement.
