Chapter 113: All Power Belongs to Oneself
“Venerable Luo He, please prepare yourself.” The Artifact Spirit Elder smiled slightly before vanishing into thin air.
Simultaneously, the vast information regarding inheritances and resources within this chaotic space disappeared, leaving only a hazy light enveloping Luo Feng, delivering the immense knowledge of the *Eight Calamity Lifeform*’s first tribulation.
Tons of information continuously flooded into Luo Feng’s memory. Even with his powerful soul, it took a long time for him to thoroughly memorize it all.
Although Luo Feng had previously examined the introductions of many inheritances, broadening his horizons, he still felt a deep sense of awe upon truly receiving this one. For the first time, he realized just how powerful a true expert could be!
“I once faced the origin of the Great Dao of Life, feeling it to be the embodiment of life itself, an unparalleled power.”
“But now, glimpsing the *Eight Calamity Lifeform* inheritance’s first tribulation, I can feel… this creator is far more powerful than even the complete Great Dao of Life.”
This being seemed to casually use fragments of information from the Great Dao of Life to create secret techniques from low to high. Combining these techniques, they ultimately formed the first tribulation.
This kind of technique creation felt like turning decay into magic. The shock surpassed even the Great Dao of Life’s impact on Luo Feng.
“No wonder the World Beasts, even at their peak, only flourished in first-rate kingdoms like Tianmu. They dared not provoke the two ancient empires at all.” The more Luo Feng understood, the more he sensed the vastness of the world.
Buzz!
Luo Feng had barely finished accepting the inheritance and was still in shock when he was teleported out of the Inheritance Hall, appearing at its entrance.
“Brother Luo He.” Chu Yuhou spotted him.
Luo Feng put aside his thoughts and immediately said, “Brother Chu Yu, I kept you waiting.”
“The sky isn’t even dark yet. It’s still early,” Chu Yuhou said with a laugh.
“Oh, right. As a Venerable, your cave dwelling, attendants, and everything else have all been arranged by my Di Chu lineage,” Chu Yuhou said. “Your disciples and servants have already gone ahead to the cave dwelling.”
“Oh?” Luo Feng was surprised. He had only applied for the position upon entering the city, and now his cave dwelling and attendants were all ready. The efficiency was truly remarkable.
“Come, I’ll take you there,” Chu Yuhou said enthusiastically.
……
In the west city of Chu Capital, Chu Yuhou led Luo Feng to an elegant cave dwelling.
The surroundings were quiet and secluded, filled with large cave dwellings. Those residing here were either high-ranking members of the royal family or Chaos Realm beings like Luo Feng.
“This is the cave dwelling,” Chu Yuhou said.
Luo Feng had already received his Venerable token and naturally controlled the cave dwelling with it.
“From now on, this cave dwelling will permanently belong to Brother Luo He,” Chu Yuhou said with a smile.
“Master (Master).” Sensing their arrival, Mo Luosa led Moyu Qingyan and ten servants to welcome them at the main entrance of the cave dwelling.
Luo Feng and Chu Yuhou entered together.
As a cave dwelling for a Chaos Realm Venerable, it spanned over a hundred million kilometers. The cave dwelling’s formation was powerful, even able to borrow a trace of the Chu Capital’s power, ensuring its safety.
Such a large area wasn’t much to a Chaos Realm being. Even cultivating secret techniques required hiding within some spatial treasures.
Luo Feng was like this. His godbody, as tall as the heavens and earth, couldn’t be freely displayed outside.
“The formation of this cave dwelling can actually borrow a trace of Chu Capital’s power. I can feel that even if I gave it my all… I’m afraid I couldn’t shake it.” Controlling the cave dwelling, Luo Feng naturally felt the trace of power he could mobilize, a vast force sufficient to crush him.
“Chu Capital was, after all, refined by the ancestor of my Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom,” Chu Yuhou said with a smile.
“Oh right, Brother Chu Yu, there’s something I need to trouble you with,” Luo Feng said.
“Brother Luo He, there’s no need to be so polite between us,” Chu Yuhou laughed. He only had this one Venerable, who was the most important help on his cultivation path.
Luo Feng said, “I have a relative who is in the ‘Beijiang Chaos Continent’ of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, in the Black Vulture City’s City Guard, serving as a vice-general.”
“Why is he in such a dangerous border region?” Chu Yuhou asked in surprise.
“That’s why I need Brother Chu Yu to help bring him to Chu Capital,” Luo Feng said.
Chu Yuhou thought for a moment and said, “Since he’s your relative, Brother Luo He, we shouldn’t go through official transfers. The other first-class Marquis… are probably watching me. It would be troublesome if they sabotaged things.”
Luo Feng nodded.
“I’ll send a squad of my personal guards, carrying my token, to Black Vulture Chaos Continent, Black Vulture City! They will directly bring that vice-general away. As a first-class Marquis of the royal family, I have the power to recruit personal troops. I certainly have the power to recruit a small vice-general,” Chu Yuhou said.
“In that case, let Mo Luosa go with them,” Luo Feng said.
Luo Feng was worried about accidents.
If he, a peak Chaos Realm Venerable, went personally, those with ulterior motives would be suspicious. Sending a servant who was outwardly an Eternal True God would seem unremarkable.
“Your relative’s identity only needs to be told to Mo Luosa. That way, it won’t be leaked,” Chu Yuhou said. “When they reach Black Vulture City, have Mo Luosa bring my guards, holding the token, to bring the vice-general away.”
“Brother Chu Yu is indeed thoughtful,” Luo Feng said.
“You don’t know how fierce and tragic the competition within the royal family is,” Chu Yuhou shook his head. “We first-class Marquis don’t dare to kill each other! But the Venerables and subordinates around us… can face death.”
Luo Feng understood. On the path of the Great Dao, everything must be fought for.
Since he had entered the game, Luo Feng wasn’t afraid.
Entering the game had its dangers, but it also had many benefits. For example, the *Eight Calamity Lifeform*’s first tribulation that he had just obtained was enough to transform him fundamentally.
“Mo Luosa.” Luo Feng immediately communicated telepathically, “Later, you will lead a squad of Chu Yuhou’s personal guards and quietly travel to Black Vulture Chaos Continent, Black Vulture City, to bring Yuan Zu back.” “Bring Yuan Zu?” Mo Luosa knew the relationship between Luo Feng and Yuan Zu.
Among those from the human race who broke through reincarnation and came to the Origin Continent, there were only Luo Feng and Yuan Zu.
Yuan Zu, in a way, was still Luo Feng’s grandmaster.
Their relationship was closer than his with Mo Luosa.
“Besides me, only you know Yuan Zu’s identity,” Luo Feng telepathically transmitted. “This trip must be kept secret.”
“Don’t worry, Master,” Mo Luosa replied. “If there are any unexpected dangers…”
“If Yuan Zu’s life is threatened, you are allowed to reveal your Chaos Realm strength,” Luo Feng replied. “You must ensure his safety.”
“Understood. I will put Yuan Zu into a spatial treasure, and I will not expose my strength unless absolutely necessary.” Mo Luosa was also very careful in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom. He was waiting for his master to become stronger.
When the conditions were more suitable, revealing his Chaos Realm strength wouldn’t be so noticeable.
……
That day.
Mo Luosa led a squad of Chu Yuhou’s personal guards, quietly leaving Chu Capital aboard a small flying ship. This flying ship traveled through space extremely quickly, but it would still take five days to reach the Black Vulture Chaos Continent.
After Luo Feng informed Yuan Zu of the news, he immediately went into seclusion for cultivation that night.
Inside the quiet room was a Star Tower. Within the Star Tower’s inner space, Luo Feng was comprehending the newly obtained *Eight Calamity Lifeform*’s first tribulation.
“In the past, I was ignorant and confused.”
“This inheritance truly reveals the face of the cage world and also reveals information outside the cage world,” Luo Feng thought to himself. He was like the first human to look up at the starry sky.
Only when one looks up at the starry sky does one realize how vast it is.
“The vast region governed by the Supreme Rules, the Origin Continent and the surrounding three thousand original universes, are all cage worlds.”
“The world I live in is all affected by the Supreme Rules. The birth of life, breaking through reincarnation, rebirth, miniature universes, lifespan, time flow, spatial stability, godbody level… everything is determined by the Supreme Rules.”
“The godbody level when becoming a True God even determines one’s entire life later on.”
If one became an Infinite Godbody when becoming a True God, then one would always be an Infinite Godbody as a Void True God, Eternal True God, Chaos Realm, and God King.
Becoming a True God was a Perfect Godbody. Every subsequent stage would be a Perfect Godbody.
“The size of the godbody and the reserves of divine power, the Infinite Godbody can ‘control its size at will.’ Like my Perfect Godbody, its body is larger than an Infinite Godbody, and its divine power is purer. It also has the ability of ‘formlessness and shapelessness’,” Luo Feng thought. “Are these abilities that I have mastered by comprehending the essence myself? No! They were bestowed by the Supreme Rules!”
The Supreme Rules allowed you the extreme height of your godbody.
The Supreme Rules bestowed you with the ability of formlessness and shapelessness.
The Supreme Rules caused the miniature universes of the Origin Continent’s cultivators to be in the starry sky.
Everything was rules!
“Formlessness and shapelessness is not an ability that I understood on my own, it is an ability bestowed by the Supreme Rules,” Luo Feng thought. “According to the description of the *Eight Calamity Lifeform*, the truly powerful cultivator starts by living within the cage, absorbing knowledge from within the cage. Then, one needs to break through the cage… all power belongs to oneself.”
“Only those who break through the cage can be said to have all power, not bestowed by the Supreme Rules, but coming from one’s own mastery of the ‘Dao’.”
Luo Feng had once been complacent because of his Perfect Godbody, because of abilities like “formlessness and shapelessness.”
But now, after seeing this inheritance…
In the eyes of this inheritance’s creator, the cultivators within the cage had not yet broken through the cage of the “Supreme Rules.”
There were two kinds of cages.
One was the world cage, in the direct sense of the cage membrane protecting all beings.
The other was the cage of the Supreme Rules.
Only by breaking through all cages and embarking on the path of “all power belongs to oneself” could one embark on the true path of the Great Dao.
Even the Great Dao had to be pioneered by oneself!
“If the *Eight Calamity Lifeform* inheritance is so remarkable, what level are the other expensive inheritances?” Luo Feng thought to himself. “The Lord of Yu Kingdom and the Lord of Shi Kingdom are also Venerables of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, and they must be able to exchange for some powerful inheritances.”
Exchanging for an inheritance was one thing, and cultivating to what level was another.
“I was still a bit arrogant before. Helping Master take revenge is not an easy task.”
The more one knew, the more humble one became.
After seeing many inheritances, especially the terrifying methods that were cultivated with the power of the Primal Chaos and Primal Chaos materials, Luo Feng was very clear that even in terms of survival ability, he was not as good as the *Eight Calamity Lifeform*’s first tribulation, and was probably not as good as some ancient God Kings.
“My Master, Sitting Mountain Guest, was able to escape from the pursuit of the three Lords of Shi Kingdom, so his methods are clearly not ordinary either.” After gaining greater knowledge, Luo Feng also had a more accurate assessment of his Master’s true strength.
The current himself was still much worse than his Master.
Luo Feng then stopped thinking about it and began to focus on cultivating this inheritance.
