# Chapter 71: Willpower Transformation (Part 1)
Luo Feng sat alone atop the cave dwelling’s mountain peak, watching the fine, drizzling rain fall across the heavens and earth.
Of the three thousand Void Tribulation Beast diagrams, Luo Feng had only immersed himself in and comprehended the first eight layers before temporarily halting. This was partly because his mind felt fatigued and needed rest, and partly because he needed to pause and carefully ponder.
“The experiences of a Tribulation Beast are different from those of a normal cultivator,” Luo Feng mused. “It is born facing layers upon layers of tribulations, each of which forces it to complete despair, to complete death.”
The world of cultivators still had order.
The Tribulation Beast only experiences endless ‘tribulations’. If it gives up in despair at any moment, it dies.
Only with an ‘indomitable heart’ can it overcome endless tribulations!
“Each tribulation is a tempering, and passing through it is akin to rebirth in fire. But what awaits it is the next tribulation… Merely experiencing the fundamental artistic conception of such seemingly endless tribulations makes me tremble with fear,” Luo Feng thought to himself.
He had also experienced hardships and trials of life and death, but they were not as numerous as those experienced by this Tribulation Beast.
“Those tribulations that descend one after another seem to be some kind of high and mighty rule,” Luo Feng contemplated. He vaguely felt that this high and mighty rule was different from the Supreme Rule.
“The mind… seemingly the most fragile thing.”
“Once the willpower of the mind is destroyed and collapses, even possessing the strongest divine body and the most powerful treasured weapons, it will be impossible to unleash their power.”
“But if the mind is strong, merely relying on willpower, one can sweep away powerful enemies.”
“The mind… is a weakness, but it can also be the most powerful weapon.”
At this moment, Luo Feng was somewhat admiring of this Tribulation Beast. Enduring so many terrifying tribulations, it finally reached the other shore, thoroughly transforming.
Suddenly—
Luo Feng felt the Star Tower within his body. Moro Sa was requesting to come out.
“Master, Master, let me out,” Moro Sa transmitted mentally.
With a thought from Luo Feng, Moro Sa appeared out of thin air beside him. Moro Sa looked at the drizzling rain outside, and contentedly lay down, comfortably touching his belly.
“The blood cloud corpse is still within the Star Tower. Why are you resting?” Luo Feng looked at him, fully aware of everything within the Star Tower.
“I’m a bit stuffed,” Moro Sa transmitted mentally, lying comfortably. “I first swallowed the corpses of other Eternal True Gods, which were of little help to me. But Yu Tianhu’s corpse was too powerful, and his bloodline was also very special. After absorbing it, I became a bit stuffed and couldn’t digest it immediately.”
Even a World Beast would be stuffed if it ate too quickly.
The fact that Yu Tianhu could use the path of bloodline cultivation to make his divine body comparable to an Infinite Divine Body showed the terrifying nature of his bloodline.
“You can get stuffed too?” Luo Feng teased via mental transmission.
“I feel that after digesting it for a period of time, even if I no longer swallow any divine bodies, it will be enough for me to become a Chaos Realm existence within several dozen epochs,” Moro Sa stood up excitedly, mentally transmitting, “Master, if I continue to swallow the blood cloud divine body after some time… I think that after swallowing it all, I can directly become a Chaos Realm existence!”
Luo Feng was shocked.
“You’re becoming a Chaos Realm existence so quickly?” Luo Feng looked at him.
“Yu Tianhu’s divine body is comparable to an Infinite Divine Body, though it’s a bit smaller in size, but his bloodline is extraordinary. And the blood cloud divine body… its allure to me is even greater than Yu Tianhu’s,” Moro Sa mentally transmitted. “I am certain that after I swallow the blood cloud divine body, I will definitely achieve the Chaos Realm.”
“Master, when will you become a Chaos Realm existence?” Moro Sa deliberately transmitted mentally.
Luo Feng looked at him, “How is your willpower cultivation? Later, within the Star Tower, shall we spar a bit with willpower secret techniques?”
Moro Sa gave a simple, honest smile.
“Hurry up and teach Qing Yan. That kid hasn’t even comprehended the Ten Basic Laws yet,” Luo Feng urged.
“Yes, yes, yes,” Moro Sa didn’t dare to show off and immediately transformed into an afterimage, flying down the mountain to find Mo Yu Qing Yan.
Luo Feng shook his head slightly.
…
Time passed day by day. Luo Feng spent his time comprehending the Tribulation Beast diagrams, except for a few days of rest every so often.
Suddenly, one day.
“Master, Master,” Mo Yu Qing Yan urgently transmitted a message.
“What’s wrong?” Luo Feng was currently comprehending the Tribulation Beast diagrams within the underground hall of the Star Tower. He knew that Mo Yu Qing Yan would not easily disturb him.
“There’s someone delivering a letter, saying it’s a personal letter from Marquis Liu Yin,” Mo Yu Qing Yan was also under great pressure. A personal letter from a Chaos Dominator was something he naturally wouldn’t dare to not report to his master.
*Rumble—*
The doors of the underground hall opened.
Luo Feng walked out from within. With a flash, he had already arrived at the front gate of the cave dwelling.
“God Monarch Luo He,” a rock-like lifeform stood at the front gate. He gave a simple, honest smile, “I am Chen Shi Jiu of the Thousand Stone Merchant Guild. I was entrusted by Marquis Liu Yin of the Shi Kingdom to help deliver this personal letter.”
The Thousand Stone Merchant Guild was a large merchant guild that spanned multiple kingdoms, with several God Kings behind it. It also had a branch in Huoyang City.
“Thank you, Guild Leader Chen,” Luo Feng knew the other party’s identity.
“It’s just helping deliver a letter. Then I’ll take my leave,” the rock-like lifeform said with a smile. As the president of the Huoyang City branch of the Thousand Stone Merchant Guild, his position and influence were considered top-tier within the city, but he was still very humble in front of Luo Feng.
Luo Feng accepted the letter and watched the other party leave.
The door closed. With a flash, Luo Feng had already reached the mountain peak. Luo Feng was about to examine the letter immediately.
Just as he opened the outer layer of the seal… *Buzz!*
The letter burst into flames, burning into a ball of crimson fire. This startled Luo Feng slightly.
“A divine power avatar?” Luo Feng naturally saw that a wisp of terrifying divine power was hidden within the letter. By opening it, he had activated this wisp of divine power.
The crimson flames condensed into a figure wearing dark red armor, vaguely exuding an aura of darkness and calamity. He looked at Luo Feng with a smile, his eyes being two balls of burning crimson fire.
Even with the smile, Luo Feng still felt darkness and terror, along with an extremely strong threat.
“Marquis Liu Yin?” Luo Feng also knew some basic information about Marquis Liu Yin.
“It is I,” Marquis Liu Yin nodded with a smile. “I heard that an extraordinary Eternal True God has appeared in Huoyang City, so I came to see for myself.”
“Your Grace overpraises me. Compared to Your Grace, we Eternal True Gods are not worth mentioning,” Luo Feng immediately said.
“Today you are an Eternal True God, perhaps in the future you will also be a Chaos Dominator, my fellow traveler,” Marquis Liu Yin stood on the mountain peak and looked at the vast city. “Huoyang City is a very beautiful city. I intend to make it part of my fiefdom. What do you think?”
Luo Feng immediately said, “The struggles between Liu Yin Chaos Continent and Jiu Jiang Chaos Continent are not something I, an Eternal True God, can decide.”
Marquis Liu Yin looked at the vast heavens and earth, lamenting, “The Origin Continent is a mixed bag of forces, and every resource has its owner! Even God Kings have no chance to get involved with many of the most precious resources.”
“We want to climb the path of cultivation and evolve our lives to a higher level. Personal cultivation is one part, and resources are the other,” Marquis Liu Yin looked at Luo Feng. “The fiefdom of a Chaos Dominator can continuously produce resources. Unfortunately, I only have one Chaos Continent as a fiefdom, which is too small!”
Luo Feng listened.
“According to the Shi Kingdom’s rules, a Chaos Dominator can only have one Chaos Continent as a fiefdom. Want a bigger one? You need to conquer it yourself,” Marquis Liu Yin said. “Jiu Jiang Chaos Continent is adjacent to mine, making it my most suitable target.”
“For the sake of my path of cultivation, I need to expand my fiefdom,” Marquis Liu Yin said. “No one can stop me. Whoever stops me is hindering my path of cultivation.”
Marquis Liu Yin’s voice contained an unshakable will.
“If Marquis Jiu Jiang blocks me, I will personally deal with him,” Marquis Liu Yin looked at Luo Feng. “As for the struggles at the Eternal True God level, your power alone is enough to surpass the entire Huoyang City’s legion. I hope you will not interfere in this matter.”
“If you do not interfere, I will offer a gift, and we can also be friends.”
“If you interfere and ruin my plans…” Marquis Liu Yin looked at Luo Feng. “Think about it carefully. Is it worth risking your life for an unrelated Marquis Jiu Jiang?”
With those words, Marquis Liu Yin’s figure dissipated.
After understanding Luo Feng’s information, Marquis Liu Yin knew that Luo Feng hated evil and was unlikely to be used by him. Therefore, he decided to intimidate him, hoping to make Luo Feng retreat. Even if he failed, he would not lose anything.
“This Marquis Liu Yin seems very eager to seize Jiu Jiang Chaos Continent,” Luo Feng frowned slightly. Clearly, Chaos Dominators also cared about the continuous resource output of their fiefdoms.
“I should be more cautious in my actions in the future,” Luo Feng thought.
In fact, Luo Feng never intended to risk his life for Marquis Jiu Jiang! Whether it was the usual behavior of the five major families in the city lord’s mansion or his need to lie low to deal with the future Shi Kingdom’s several kings, there was no need to put himself in danger.
“Marquis Liu Yin personally came to find me. Huoyang City, and even the entire Jiu Jiang Chaos Continent, are likely to face a war,” Luo Feng thought for a while, then returned to the underground hall.
The belonging of Jiu Jiang Chaos Continent was something that Marquis Jiu Jiang and the God Kings of Yu Kingdom should be worried about, not him. There were so few benefits, it was not worth risking his life for them.
Within the Star Tower.
Luo Feng sat cross-legged, looking at the three thousand Void Tribulation Beast diagrams floating in mid-air.
“In the 533rd layer, the Tribulation Beast experiences one tribulation after another. In this process, it also encounters some companions,” Luo Feng could see that in the reflected void diagram, besides the Tribulation Beast, there were also some Tribulation Beast-like creatures. “But its companions fell one by one, and some were even killed by the Tribulation Beast itself.”
…
“In the 679th layer, the Tribulation Beast no longer has any companions. It is now increasingly lonely and increasingly powerful. Its willpower has become even more terrifying, and the tribulations it encounters are resolved by it…”
Luo Feng vaguely perceived a path of willpower cultivation, a willpower cultivation method belonging to the Tribulation Beast.
At around the six hundredth layer, the Tribulation Beast’s willpower had grown to an extremely terrifying level, far surpassing Luo Feng’s current level. A single thought could annihilate the vast heavens and earth and dissolve the intangible rule of tribulation.
The moment Luo Feng comprehended a trace of it, he felt his own mind slowly transforming.
…
“In the 852nd layer, the Tribulation Beast encounters the most terrifying tribulation in its history, another Tribulation Beast-like creature. The two Tribulation Beasts engage in a life-and-death struggle.”
“This terrifying struggle lasted for a long time, until the 873rd layer of the reflected void diagram, where the Tribulation Beast completely won. This victory also brought about a major transformation for the Tribulation Beast.”
By merely watching the three thousand Void Tribulation Beast diagrams, Luo Feng was able to experience some artistic conceptions from these diagrams, as if he was growing together with the Tribulation Beast, and he gained a lot.
“The mind can be big or small. It can be big enough to be an enemy of the supreme rules, and small enough to merge with countless weak beings.”
“After countless weak beings merge into one, they can be comparable to the supreme ones.”
At the 873rd layer, when the Tribulation Beast completely won and transformed, Luo Feng gained more understanding of the Tribulation Beast’s willpower cultivation method, and his own mind was also slowly transforming.
“*Boom~~~*”
His willpower, which was already at the peak of the Chaos Dominator level during his True God days, had been nurtured by his powerful divine body, tempered by the *Lie Yuan Technique* secret method, and aided by numerous resources. In particular, the comprehension of a glimpse of another ‘willpower cultivation method’ from the three thousand Void Tribulation Beast diagrams finally pushed Luo Feng’s willpower to completely break through that bottleneck.
***
Today is June 8th, which also happens to be Luo Feng’s birthday. It is indeed a coincidence that Luo Feng’s willpower broke through to the God King level today.
Also, thank you to the new Silver Grand Supporter: Muscle Boqi.
