Chapter 396: Blood Crane Territory Source Origin |
The surrounding Blood Sea surged endlessly as Luo Feng looked ahead.
Although he could clearly sense that the ‘Source Origin of the Blood Crane Territory’ lay right in front of him, all methods of observation were unable to perceive it.
“Seemingly real, yet seemingly void?”
Following the mysterious fluctuations, Luo Feng probed deeper into the transformations of its profound essence, gradually discerning a faint outline of the ‘Source Origin of the Blood Crane Territory.’
This source—if described as small—was extremely small, smaller than any form of matter. If described as large, it permeated the entirety of the Blood Crane Territory.
“So this is the Source Origin of the Blood Crane Territory?” Following the transformations of its mysteries and probing deeper, the full structure of its profound changes gradually manifested within Luo Feng’s mind. It was a far more vast and complex structure than the Source World Origin.
“He must be probing the Source Origin of the Blood Crane Territory!”
In the distance, the Blood Lord, Crane Lord, and Shadow Lord watched this scene. Although they could not perceive anything through observation, they instinctively understood… that this cultivator lord, Luo Feng, had already begun deeply probing the Source Origin of the Blood Crane Territory.
“In the Life Direction, he has gone deeper than I have. He can definitely perceive the Source Origin of the Blood Crane Territory.” The Blood Lord felt quite unwilling.
“Can you stop him?” The Crane Lord glanced at him. “This is all because you provoked the cultivator faction. I already told you—do not provoke the Three Major Clan Factions! But you insisted, and now you’ve brought such a huge disaster!”
The Shadow Lord felt stifled.
Although he was relatively weak in direct combat and could not match any of the cultivator lords head-on, he could transform into countless forms and exist everywhere. He had always believed… that no lord could kill him. Moreover, with the mysterious homeland of the Blood Crane Territory, he naturally had confidence.
Who would have thought that Luo Feng would begin attempting to probe and refine the Source Origin of the Blood Crane Territory?
“Let’s try attacking.” The Blood Lord, growing anxious as he watched, could not help but say, “Use every possible method to see if we can stop him.”
“Let’s try first!” Although the Crane Lord and Shadow Lord lacked confidence, they were truly unwilling to watch the Source Origin of the Blood Crane Territory be refined and controlled by Luo Feng.
Boom~~~~
The Blood Sea surged once more. The Blood Lord, Crane Lord, and Shadow Lord all merged into the Blood Sea, carrying the power of the Endless Blood Sea of the Blood Crane Territory. The three Highest-Level Powers coordinated and launched a joint assault on Luo Feng.
They tried every possible method.
However, the three of them wielded different Highest-Level Powers—one of life, one of undying, and one of shadow. All were extremely strong in survival capability, but weak in killing power.
“How noisy!”
Luo Feng sat cross-legged, protected by a protective energy layer that shielded him from all surrounding attacks.
Now that he did not need to travel, simply enduring the attacks was effortless.
Even with the three lords of the Blood Crane Territory joining forces and borrowing the power of the Blood Sea, they could not break through Luo Feng’s protective energy layer. Occasionally, the Crane Lord could barely pierce through a small portion, causing only minor flesh wounds.
“Go.”
Luo Feng allowed them to attack freely, occasionally releasing 360 Million Origins to let them experience what it felt like to be struck.
After only a brief period of encirclement, the three lords of the Blood Crane Territory stopped.
“It’s useless. Even thirty to fifty Ancestor-Level beings from the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction joining forces couldn’t kill Luo Feng. How could we possibly deal with him?” The Crane Lord stared unwillingly at the black-robed, black-haired man sitting cross-legged.
Luo Feng remained seated within the core region of the Blood Crane Territory, calmly probing the Source Origin of the Blood Crane Territory.
The three lords could only watch helplessly.
“He only excels in Life Direction,” the Blood Lord said. “The Source Origin of the Blood Crane Territory contains three kinds of Highest-Level Power. Without fully comprehending at least one, it’s impossible to refine it.”
“But what he comprehends is a Primordial-level Dao! Even deeper than yours, elder brother!” said the Crane Lord.
“Even if he surpasses me, mastering only one type of power is still insufficient to refine it,” the Blood Lord replied.
“Yes, yes, no need to worry. The three of us have spent endless years and still failed to refine it—how could this Lord Luo Feng succeed? And the cultivator faction has many affairs; his main combat clone cannot remain here forever,” the Shadow Lord quickly added.
The Blood Lord and Crane Lord both glanced at the Shadow Lord.
Invading the cultivator territory had been entirely the Shadow Lord’s stubborn decision!
“This Luo Feng…” The Shadow Lord now felt regret. If he had simply retreated when the cultivator faction sent a warning, none of this would have happened.
If Luo Feng truly refined the Blood Crane Territory, the responsibility would be enormous.
After all, if not for his provocation, the cultivator lord Luo Feng—who had just broken through and had many affairs—would not have come deep into the ancestral land of the Blood Crane Territory.
……
Luo Feng sat cross-legged within the endless Blood Sea, a thread of his consciousness probing the Source Origin of the Blood Crane Territory.
“So this is its complete form.”
After half a day, Luo Feng finally fully perceived the Source Origin.
The Source Origin of the Blood Crane Territory was formed through the perfect fusion of three powers: the power of life, the power of undying, and the power of shadow.
How a source origin was constructed—Luo Feng had already deeply studied this before breaking free from the cage. The core of his Primordial Life-and-Death Path was precisely the source origin system, and within his body existed 1.8 Billion Origins.
Although he did not understand the power of undying or the power of shadow, he could distinguish between them. After half a day, he had already discerned how the three powers combined into a source origin.
“To refine the Source Origin of the Blood Crane Territory, one must at least perfectly master one of the Highest-Level Powers, and also comprehend how the three combine into a ‘source origin.’ Then, by following that path, one can completely refine it.”
“Alternatively, if one comprehends two of the Highest-Level Powers, refining it becomes easy.”
Luo Feng quickly determined the method.
“For me, the first path is more suitable.”
“I already understand how the three combine into a source origin.”
“What I need now is to completely master this single power of life.”
Although Luo Feng had comprehended the Primordial Life-and-Death Path, it was a fusion of seventy percent life and thirty percent destruction—not a purely life-based path.
For him, mastering this single power of life was not difficult.
Before breaking free from the cage, his comprehension, thinking speed, and insight were far inferior to what they were now—yet he had still forcibly comprehended the Primordial Life-and-Death Path. Now, as a lord…
What he was comprehending was the Life Direction he had accumulated the most in. Moreover, he did not need to comprehend a complete Primordial Life Path—only a single life power.
It should be noted that when Luo Feng first arrived at the Blood Crane Territory, with just a brief sensing, he had already understood seventy to eighty percent of this life power.
“Pure life does not pursue perfect control over every portion of power. Instead, it seeks the ultimate flourishing of life—the more, the better! It may even abandon physical form entirely, transforming into a Blood Sea Form, with an incomparably vast body.”
Luo Feng understood this path.
If he were to create a Primordial-level Dao based on this path, his body could transform into a vast Blood Sea.
Its size would likely surpass that of the Giant God Race Emperor, and far exceed Wu Lan—becoming the largest lifeform in the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.
Vast and boundless!
No matter how enemies attacked, the Blood Sea would absorb and disperse immense force. Its energy reserves would surpass Luo Feng’s current state, and its recovery would be terrifying. Even if a hundred Ancestor-Level beings joined forces, they could not threaten it.
This was the terrifying aspect of a lord who followed the pure Primordial Life Path.
However, the drawback was its enormous size—movement would be slow, and it would be impossible to mobilize all its power for offense. In battle, only a portion of the Blood Sea could be used.
“My Primordial Life-and-Death Path pursues absolute control over every portion of power. With a single thought, I can mobilize all power against the enemy.”
Under this principle of absolute control, his current energy reserves had already reached their limit.
Any further increase would lead to loss of control.
“There’s no need to comprehend a pure Primordial Life Path. Just mastering this single life power should not be difficult.”
Luo Feng became increasingly interested and began analyzing it in detail.
……
Origin Continent, Source World.
Within Huyang City, inside an ancient cave dwelling—
“Hmm?”
A tall, robust man suddenly opened his eyes, looking around. This was the appearance of his family’s cave dwelling from his youth.
“Didn’t I die? I died at the hands of Sang Shuiyun.” Chang Tianyan muttered.
Back then, he had sacrificed his life to confirm Sang Shuiyun’s true identity as the Blood Cloud Divine Lord, and had left behind a Causal Tracking Order for Jiugang Marquis to ensure the target could be tracked.
“Why am I still alive?”
“Reincarnation?”
“No… even among Chaos Realm marquises, only a very few can reincarnate while retaining their memories.” Chang Tianyan was confused.
“Brother Chang.”
A voice sounded.
Chang Tianyan turned and saw a black-robed, black-haired man. However, this man had a pair of dark golden horns on his forehead—his appearance slightly different. It was Luo Feng’s form when he first arrived at the Origin Continent.
“Brother Luo He?” Chang Tianyan recognized him instantly, though the aura of this Luo He was vastly different—transcending even the operation of the laws of heaven and earth.
As a master weapon refiner, he could sense that Luo He’s aura was higher than the very heavens.
“Brother Luo He, what is going on? I remember—I died?” Chang Tianyan asked.
“You did die. You have been dead for over ten thousand eras,” Luo Feng said with a smile. “I retrieved you from the river of space-time, from a past timeline, and brought you to the present, continuing your life.”
Chang Tianyan was stunned.
River of space-time? Retrieved from the past?
“I know that among those you care about most, there are 125 individuals. I have revived them all as well.”
Luo Feng pointed toward a garden within the cave dwelling. In the open space, over a hundred figures suddenly appeared, each looking confused.
Chang Tianyan stared in disbelief.
Among them were his wife, his young child, his long-deceased parents, his elder brother who had cared for him, comrades who had lived and died with him, fellow refiners, and his most cherished disciple…
All those he had regretted losing across his long life—every one of them had returned.
He had once felt that, though the world was vast, he walked it alone.
But now, overwhelming emotion filled his heart—so much so that he felt a trace of fear.
“This… isn’t an illusion, right?” he asked anxiously.
“Tianyan!” a woman called out excitedly.
Hearing the familiar voice, his eyes instantly reddened.
“Go,” Luo Feng said with a smile. “Reunite with your loved ones.”
As he spoke, his figure disappeared.
At that moment, Chang Tianyan realized that his old friend Luo He had become an unimaginably great existence.
……
Luo Feng concealed his presence and did not disturb them further. Watching Chang Tianyan reunite with his loved ones, he could not help but smile.
This was the meaning of revival.
“Brother Chang… my only friend during the Eternal True God stage. Enjoy this time. In the future, I will have many matters that require your help.”
Luo Feng admired Chang Tianyan greatly.
Chang Tianyan pitied the weak and had even sacrificed his life for all beings. Because of this character, Luo Feng had already decided to give him a position within the future administrative core of the Origin Continent faction.
The core of this faction would include Morosa, Zuo Shan Ke, Master Emperor Chu, along with many others such as Emperor Qing, Di Chu Yu, Moyu Qingyan, Chang Tianyan, and more.
