Luo Feng nodded gently. “I admit, I can’t find any flaws in these fifteen avatars myself. Let’s proceed to the next step.”

Luo Feng had heard how long Senior Starlight spent breaking through with brute force, so he had long prepared for an infinitely long period. His cultivation plan was also divided into many steps.

The first step was to comprehend all Primal Chaos bloodlines and materials, the second was to create his Dao, and the third was to put it into practice.

“With single-minded devotion to comprehending the Dao, I’ve found no flaws. The next step is practical application!”

“The first stage of practical application is to test their survivability!” Luo Feng mused. “My Primal Chaos Life-Death Dao focuses on life, pursuing an extremely vast body and immense survivability. So, let’s see how these fifteen avatars perform in terms of survival.”

Luo Feng’s cultivation chamber, a cavern dwelling, had an immense space-time range within it. A massive formation appeared inside the chamber.

All fifteen avatars flew into this formation.

“Each of these fifteen avatars is at ‘one-tenth’ of its peak state, which allows for fair comparison,” Luo Feng thought. If all avatars were maintained at their absolute peak, it would be a huge burden on his soul. He couldn’t simultaneously sustain fifteen peak avatars.

By reducing each to just ‘one-tenth’ of its peak, his soul felt much lighter.

“Begin simulating the attacks of naturally born Primal Chaos lifeforms,” Luo Feng instructed. “Gradually increase the intensity, starting from higher-level Primal Chaos lifeform strength, and attack these fifteen avatars with equivalent power.”

“Cultivator Luo Feng, attack intensity will begin at the ‘early higher-level Primal Chaos lifeform’ stage,” a gentle voice announced. Immediately, deep blue flames appeared out of nowhere within the vast formation, burning each avatar.

With the capabilities of the Primal Origin Ground, it could easily sustain power levels up to the World-level Primal Chaos Grand Perfection stage. Further increasing the power was also possible, but it would require immense reward points.

The fifteen Luo Feng avatars sat cross-legged, feeling at ease even as the deep blue flames burned them.

Afterward, the deep blue flames suddenly transformed into deep blue frost, an intense cold penetrating each avatar. Simultaneously, space slightly vibrated, and countless spatial blades enveloped the avatars…

Various attacks descended, yet all fifteen avatars remained completely unharmed.

“Power increased to the ‘mid-stage’ of higher-level Primal Chaos lifeforms,” the gentle voice announced.

“Power increased to the ‘late-stage’ of higher-level Primal Chaos lifeforms.”

The power gradually increased.

Some avatars began to show damage on their surfaces, but these minor injuries instantly recovered under their incredibly strong life force.

“Power increased to the ‘early World-level Primal Chaos’ stage.”

Waves of energy enveloped all fifteen avatars within the formation. From Grand Perfection higher-level Primal Chaos to ‘early World-level Primal Chaos’, the power underwent a significant qualitative change! The fifteen avatars, which had been relatively at ease before, were now all severely wounded.

The most severely damaged avatar, covered in silvery-white scales, saw all its scales shatter under the invisible fluctuations. The layers of flesh, muscles, and fascia beneath were rapidly disintegrating and being annihilated. Only the black-golden bones still stubbornly resisted.

This avatar was reduced to a mere skeleton, and its skeletal strength was still protecting hundreds of internal essences.

As the power slowly intensified, the skeleton began to crack, and one by one, the essences started to disintegrate.

In just a few breaths.

The skeleton completely turned to dust, all essences dissipated, and only fourteen avatars remained within the formation.

“Avatar No. 2 disintegrated first,” Luo Feng observed, greatly pleased. “Its mind-consciousness system, that path, is wrong!”

He hadn’t noticed it before, but under the attacks, comparing the states of the fifteen avatars, Luo Feng immediately discovered the significant directional error in Avatar No. 2!

“To pursue an ultimately vast physical body, I reduced the strength of the mind-consciousness leadership. The result is that while the body became larger, the defensive capabilities of its flesh, muscles, and bones weakened.”

The ERT mind-consciousness system aimed for perfect control over every shred of power and consciousness. As the body grew larger, the demands on the mind-consciousness system increased.

Avatar No. 2’s approach was to slightly lower these requirements.

A reduced level of mind-consciousness control allowed for a more ‘crude’ control over a body several times larger. But the result was… when facing attacks of the same level, the crudely controlled body, despite being larger, was the first to disintegrate.

“Boom—”

Within the formation, besides the terrifying fluctuations, a frosty aura began to appear, intending to freeze Luo Feng’s avatars. Meanwhile, the terrifying fluctuations continued to vibrate and tear apart every portion of the avatars’ physical strength.

The remaining avatars quickly sustained severe injuries.

“Avatar No. 9 is about to collapse,” Luo Feng carefully sensed.

Avatar No. 9 was covered entirely in deep green scales. These scales were incredibly tough, and under the terrifying freezing and frost, only slight cracks appeared. However, the internal flesh, muscles, and bones of this avatar had already begun to disintegrate and be annihilated.

Though the surface scales were strong, the interior was weak, and its essences also began to vanish.

“For Avatar No. 9, I used a ‘dual-axis parallel’ creation approach. I really liked the ‘indestructible’ effect of the Star Tower’s Blood Scales. So, for this avatar, I simultaneously used both the essence system and the blood-scale system as its two main cores, incorporating both. But the result was that its survivability actually became weaker. Among the fifteen avatars, it was the second to disintegrate.”

Time flowed. Under the power of the early World-level Primal Chaos stage, and as the power intensified, avatars were annihilated one by one. “Among the fifteen avatars, the three that adopted the dual-axis parallel approach have all been annihilated.”

“This indicates that the dual-axis parallel approach, this path, is wrong. Wanting both results in neither being strong enough.”

The power slowly increased, and one avatar after another was annihilated. “Power increased to the ‘mid-stage’ of World-level Primal Chaos,” the gentle voice announced again.

At this point, the power within the formation was terrifyingly immense. Ordinary higher-level Primal Chaos lifeforms would turn to ash upon entering. Even some newly advanced World-level Primal Chaos beings, whose various methods were not yet perfected, wouldn’t be able to last long inside the formation.

At this moment, three of Luo Feng’s avatars were still resisting.

The previous twelve avatars had all disintegrated during the early World-level Primal Chaos stage. Luo Feng had also discovered their respective issues, gaining immense insights.

“Boom—”

The space within the formation was already distorted. Streaks of black flames burned everywhere, and a toxic mist covered the surfaces of Luo Feng’s three avatars, corroding their flesh, muscles, and bones. The situation for all three of Luo Feng’s avatars became extremely dire.

Of the three avatars that lasted the longest, one was Avatar No. 7, the smallest in size among the fifteen. Despite its small stature, its entire body was like a weapon, and it continued to hold on.

Another was Avatar No. 12, the largest in size among the fifteen. Under the control of its mind-consciousness system, its entire body resisted and shared the attacks.

And one was Avatar No. 11! Its size was second only to No. 12. This meant that among the fifteen avatars, the two largest and the single smallest persisted until the very end.

“This Avatar No. 11…” Luo Feng was astonished. “To pursue a vast physical body, I adopted the same approach as Avatar No. 2, lowering the degree of mind-consciousness control. Avatar No. 2 was the first to be eliminated, yet this Avatar No. 11 has persisted until now!”

The physical bodies of all three avatars completely collapsed almost simultaneously.

As they collapsed, the first two avatars left no trace, completely annihilated.

Only Avatar No. 11, even after its physical body was annihilated, still had one hundred thousand essences suspended.

Under the terrifying attacks, these ‘one hundred thousand essences’ were like a constellation formation, interconnected and jointly resisting the external attacks. Their ability to withstand external attacks was even stronger than the flesh, muscles, and bones had been.

“This Avatar No. 11’s essences are more resilient than its physical body!” Luo Feng was greatly surprised, staring delightedly at the hundred thousand essences.

This was an incredible phenomenon.

For naturally born Primal Chaos lifeforms, their physical bodies were much stronger than their core-souls! Once the body couldn’t hold up, the core-soul would easily be breached.

Yet, his Avatar No. 11, even after its physical body disintegrated, had one hundred thousand essences still persisting! The power continued to climb, and various kinds of lightning struck down.

Under the furious lightning strikes, some of the hundred thousand essences began to scatter, but the remaining ones still resisted.

Each individual essence possessed extremely strong ‘survivability,’ enduring for another hundred breaths of time. As their numbers dwindled, their disintegration accelerated, until finally, they were completely annihilated.

“Hahahaha…!”

Luo Feng, outside the formation, was ecstatic. “I understand, I understand!”

“This Avatar No. 11 adopted the ‘lowering mind-consciousness system control’ approach, which was a huge mistake! It weakened the physical body’s defensive capability. However, it had one major advantage.”

“It was the most perfect version created using the ‘Essence Core Creation Method’.”

“When creating the Primal Chaos Life-Death Dao, I always thought it should be built step-by-step, using the ‘Half-Primal Chaos Life-Death Dao’ as a seed. It was like building a house: laying the foundation first and then building upwards step by step seemed like the correct approach. But with this Avatar No. 11, I first built the ‘essence system’ and then constructed other systems around it. I didn’t pay any attention to the ‘Half-Primal Chaos Life-Death Dao’ at all.”

“Haha, this is the right way.”

“This is what’s most suitable for me,” Luo Feng fully realized.

“The ultimate ‘Primal Chaos Life-Death Dao’ has only one core: the essence core! Everything must revolve around it to construct the Dao.”

“As for the Half-Primal Chaos Life-Death Dao, all my insights and profound understandings originated from it. It was inherently a seed, and in my heart, it had long since blossomed, allowing me to comprehend the six major systems.”

The six major systems all originated from the Half-Primal Chaos Life-Death Dao.

When constructing the Dao, there’s no need to rigidly use it as the starting point; doing so would only create limitations.

“The Dao has a core.”

“The essence is the core; everything else revolves around it.”

“Let’s begin.”

Luo Feng absorbed the experiences from these fifteen avatars, taking both successful methods and lessons from failures. At this moment, he was confident he could create an even more perfect version of the Primal Chaos Life-Death Dao.

With a thought, Luo Feng first constructed the three avatars that had lasted the longest. Leveraging these three avatars, he significantly boosted his mind’s processing speed and comprehension. Only then did he begin to create his Dao.

“Whoosh.”

A secret pattern was outlined in the void. This time, Luo Feng began by constructing the essence system.

A preview: tomorrow, Lord Luo will be born!
