News of a conflict in Chu Capital, within the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, quickly spread throughout the city, and then rapidly across the entire Origin Continent.

“Another Chaos Realm Transcendent has emerged from the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom?”
“The seventy-first Chaos Realm Transcendent in the entire Origin Continent!”
“Is it Sage Luohe?”

Many forces, both overt and covert, across the Origin Continent paid close attention to this news. This was because ‘Chaos Realm Transcendents’ were considered on par with ordinary God-Kings, and in fact, were even rarer in terms of numbers.

The name Sage Luohe was recorded by numerous kingdoms and forces.

“‘What? He became a Chaos Realm Transcendent?’ Princess Yushui Tianyu of the Yu Kingdom was somewhat stunned upon receiving the news. ‘While in seclusion in Huyang City, he only displayed the power of an Eternal True God. Now that he’s gone to Chu Capital… he’s become a Chaos Realm Transcendent.'”

“‘No wonder he didn’t seek my father’s tutelage,’ the Princess realized.”

Chaos Realm Transcendents, whose status is equivalent to ordinary God-Kings, are even more eager to become disciples of Emperor-Lords! Naturally, the most powerful individuals in the Origin Continent desired most to apprentice under the Ancestors of the two great ancient kingdoms. However, these Ancestors appeared only occasionally over vast periods of time. Even some ancient God-Kings found it difficult to meet them, let alone become their disciples.

Emperor-Lord level beings were more commonly encountered in the Origin Continent.

“‘Sage Luohe is actually a Chaos Realm Transcendent?’ Marquis Liuyin was alarmed upon hearing the news. ‘The last time he fought me, he only displayed peak Chaos Realm strength and didn’t even destroy my true body. Did he intentionally hide his strength, or did he only break through after arriving in Chu Capital?'”

Marquis Liuyin was a little flustered.

Having an additional ‘Chaos Realm Transcendent’ as an enemy naturally caused him a headache.

“‘His city, Huyang City, is right next to my fiefdom,’ Marquis Liuyin thought, his mind in disarray.”

“‘Hahaha…’ On the other hand, Marquis Jiujiang was overjoyed when he received the news. ‘Brother Luohe actually became a Chaos Realm Transcendent! Giving him Huyang City back then was a stroke of genius, simply brilliant!'”

His future fiefdom was secure! And he had also gained a powerful backer.

The difference between top-tier Chaos Realm and peak Chaos Realm was not too great. For instance, Marquis Jiujiang could exchange a few moves with Marquis Liuyin and still manage to escape.

However, the difference between peak Chaos Realm and Chaos Realm Transcendent was vast.

It was a qualitative leap!

Under normal circumstances, Chaos Realm Transcendents cultivated special legacies using Origin Source power or materials, allowing them to possess God-King level strength. They could completely crush peak Chaos Realm beings.

Luo Feng was able to achieve this due to his ‘Formless, Phaseless’ ability.

The Thunder Ancient Kingdom, one of the two core powers of the Origin Continent, had nearly half of the peripheral kingdoms completely pledging allegiance to it.

In these peripheral kingdoms, there were no Yanfeng Guildhalls, only Thunder Commerce Guilds.

A city on the border of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom.

With booming sounds, a burly man with green scaled wings, clad in heavy armor and riding a Chaos Realm exotic beast that exuded endless cold, descended from the sky with his guard retinue, heading straight for the City Lord’s Mansion.

“‘City Lord,’ the subordinates inside the City Lord’s Mansion said, respectfully saluting the burly man.”

This was precisely the most revered being in the entire city—City Lord Zuoshan Jin.

“‘Quickly prepare some food and drink,’ the burly man ordered before walking towards the main hall. The Chaos Realm exotic beast also flew to its own designated area within the City Lord’s Mansion.”

Inside the main hall.

The burly man retracted his large wings. An invisible aura of might naturally spread from him. His eyes were deep, and the corners of his mouth turned slightly upwards in a smile.

“‘My disciple’s talent is truly extraordinary; he’s only been in the Origin Continent for a little over thirty epochs and has already become a Chaos Realm Transcendent,’ the burly man thought. ‘His talent and potential far surpass mine.'”

“‘Revenge is hopeful, revenge is hopeful,’ the burly man mused.”

This was none other than Zuoshankeh, who had reincarnated and arrived in the Origin Continent.

As Luo Feng’s master, based on detailed information about Luohe—such as the timing of his rise in the Origin Continent coinciding with Luo Feng’s breakthrough in reincarnation, the weapons he used, his divine body being as tall as heaven and earth, and having few close relatives, including one named ‘Yuan’—

Based on this information, Zuoshankeh easily deduced that Luohe was Luo Feng.

“‘Although my greatest hope rests on my disciple, I must also strive desperately,’ the burly man thought. ‘At least when the time comes to truly confront the Eater Kingdom, I shouldn’t be a burden to my disciple. Ideally, I should be able to hold back one or two of their forces. Previously, I followed the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom; in this life, I will serve as a guest elder of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom.'”

“‘The Thunder Ancient Kingdom should have some legacies different from those of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.'”

“‘I hope that in this life, my strength can advance further.'”

Zuoshankeh knew clearly that he had escaped the pursuit of the three Kingdom Lords of the Eater Kingdom back then by relying on his life-saving abilities. However, to exact revenge, merely having life-saving abilities was not enough; he needed a fundamental breakthrough in strength. ‘The Thunder Ancient Kingdom excels at cultivating with ‘Origin Bloodlines.’ In this life, I will try to follow this path.’ Zuoshankeh knew well that this path was also arduous, even prone to leading to madness, but there was no doubt that if successful, the power gained would be terrifying.

The ancient beings of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom were no less powerful than the Emperor-Lords of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

The name Sage Luohe was now circulating throughout the entire Origin Continent for the first time.

In Chu Capital, many wished to visit and befriend Luo Feng, and some even desired to apprentice under him. However, Luo Feng had no intention of taking another disciple. His first disciple in the Origin Continent was taught by Molosa; he couldn’t take another and still have Molosa teach them, could he?

“‘Master, there have been quite a few invitations for your disciple recently,’ Moyu Qingyan said, looking at Luo Feng. ‘May your disciple go out?'”

“‘Go out if you wish,’ Luo Feng nodded. ‘Your cultivation journey will be long. You can decide for yourself what friends to make and what actions to take. Of course, you must also bear the corresponding consequences of your decisions.'”

Moyu Qingyan pondered this and immediately replied, ‘Your disciple understands.’

Luo Feng then turned and left.

“‘Qingyan,’ Molosa said, ‘the waters of Chu Capital are very deep. As a young Void True God, you might not even realize if you’re ensnared by illusions or other schemes. For the time being, I will accompany you when you go out.'”

Molosa was quite worried about Moyu Qingyan, having put far more effort into teaching the disciple than Luo Feng had.

“‘That’s great!’ Moyu Qingyan also breathed a sigh of relief. He had felt stifled from cultivating continuously inside his residence and was also full of curiosity about Chu Capital, a super prosperous city that ranked among the best in the entire Origin Continent.”

Original Ancestor also received invitations from some forces within Chu Capital.

Original Ancestor naturally accepted every invitation with ease. However, each time he attended, it was only his illusory avatar! His illusory avatar had a physical body nearly identical to his true body, lacking only the heart of a True God.

Inside Luo Feng’s residence, in the quiet room, within the Star Tower’s space.

As a Chaos Realm Transcendent, Luo Feng ignored the visits from most forces in Chu Capital, allowing him to focus on his cultivation.

“‘Brother Luohe,’ Di Chuyu contacted him via message. ‘I’ve carefully looked into some highly meritorious tasks; all are very difficult and haven’t been completed by any guest elder for a long time. You can take a look first.'”

Soon, Di Chuyu sent a detailed list of tasks.

Luo Feng immediately examined them.

The first task was to completely eliminate ‘City Lord Sayu,’ a Chaos Realm expert.

City Lord Sayu, a peak Chaos Realm expert, was a City Lord within the Thunder Ancient Kingdom. During his travels, he manipulated the desires of countless beings, causing many to perish, including three Royal Family Eternal True Gods of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

After City Lord Sayu realized the identities of the deceased, he immediately defected to the Thunder Ancient Kingdom.

This task was worth 200,000 merit points! “‘Completely eliminated?’ Luo Feng frowned as he read. ‘According to the task requirements, ‘complete elimination’ means making the enemy disappear entirely from the Origin Continent, leaving no trace of their karma.'”

As for whether the target had reincarnated, it was difficult to determine.

After all, if a reincarnated being kept it secret, no one could tell.

“‘City Lord Sayu excels at manipulating minds; his spiritual will, according to the intel, has definitely reached the God-King level,’ Luo Feng thought to himself. ‘My spiritual will, at the God-King Second Realm, might only be slightly stronger than his. Even if I use ‘Lieyuan Art,’ I wouldn’t be able to kill him.'”

Peak Chaos Realm experts cultivate for endless epochs, honing their spiritual wills to be extremely powerful, even capable of creating their own will-based secret arts. To eliminate them purely by will would be extremely difficult.

“‘There are quite a few bounty missions,’ Luo Feng noted, realizing that many bounties for Chaos Realm experts had remained unfulfilled for long periods.”

On one hand, Emperor-Lords disdained dealing with weaker Chaos Realm beings.

While Chaos Realm beings might have killed a few Royal Family Eternal True Gods or been discovered stealing rare treasures, Emperor-Lords simply couldn’t be bothered with such trivial matters.

As for some God-Kings, they could indeed kill Chaos Realm beings. However, if the opponent’s consciousness remained clear for even an instant, they could immediately reincarnate, which would create a formidable hidden enemy.

God-Kings weren’t afraid of Chaos Realm beings, but what about their children or cherished friends and family? Thus, killing Chaos Realm beings was indeed a troublesome task.

“‘Few are willing to accept missions to kill Chaos Realm beings,’ Luo Feng thought. ‘The difficulty of dealing with the Eater Kingdom’s Kingdom Lords in the future will be immeasurably higher.'”

After becoming a Chaos Realm guest elder, Di Chuyu, as a First-Class Marquis, also provided Luo Feng with a vast amount of detailed information about the entire Origin Continent.

Luo Feng also gained a deeper understanding of the strength of the three former Kingdom Lords of the Eater Kingdom.

The Eater Kingdom’s ‘Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord,’ a God-King Second Realm being and a guest elder of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, also cultivated powerful legacies. His strength was so formidable that few in the entire Origin Continent surpassed him, not to mention his life-saving abilities.

Even if an Emperor-Lord intervened, they could suppress Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord directly, but they wouldn’t dare claim they could completely kill him.

Even ‘Snow Realm Ancestor,’ a God-King First Realm being with monstrous sins, had survived to this day, demonstrating the survival capabilities of these ancient beings.

“‘The stronger one’s power, the more mysterious and unfathomable their life-saving abilities become,’ Luo Feng thought. ‘To completely kill the Eater Kingdom’s Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord, ideally preventing his reincarnation, what level of strength would I need?’ Luo Feng gently shook his head. ‘I am still very far from that.'”
