Third Episode, Chapter 25: Emperor Chu’s Summons
Its body was like a vast world, completely crimson, with flames rising. It had a full eight pairs of enormous wings, and four giant claws that seemed to support the entire world. Its one huge eye was staring coldly in Luo Feng’s direction.
“Rumble…” Every movement it made was labored, because chains were binding it, chains that came from the void, permeating every part of its body, soul, and everything else, making it difficult to resist.
It looked in Luo Feng’s direction, its eyes full of terrifying killing intent.
Luo Feng even saw traces of its past on its body, the marks of its growth, from a weak and insignificant Kalpa Beast growing step by step, which was the process experienced in the “Three Thousand Void Kalpa Beast Diagram.”
However, the traces of the past seen at this moment were much more detailed than in the “Three Thousand Void Kalpa Beast Diagram,” and also more terrifying and oppressive.
“This is a powerful being watching the Kalpa Beast’s image.” Luo Feng understood somewhat, “That powerful being can see the traces of the Kalpa Beast in the ‘past time and space’. And he recorded this viewing image and preserved it.”
If it were a weakling, seeing the Kalpa Beast would probably cause their mind to collapse and die directly.
Being able to see the traces of the Kalpa Beast in the past time and space at a glance, this method was already beyond Luo Feng’s imagination.
Even the emperors of the Yan Wind Ancient Country only watched the shadow of the Kalpa Beast and painted the Kalpa Beast diagrams.
The Kalpa Beast diagrams were only a part of the real Kalpa Beast.
“The Kalpa Beast is actually being restrained.” Luo Feng was somewhat shocked, the chains extending from the void obviously made it difficult for the Kalpa Beast to break free.
“My second-level God King-level mind and will can only watch the shadow of the Kalpa Beast! The Kalpa Beast’s strength must be above the ultimate God King realm. Such an existence is still being restrained and trapped!” While shocked, Luo Feng instantly deduced that the stronger existence restraining the Kalpa Beast should be from the cultivator side. After all, the shadow of the Kalpa Beast was passed down to the Yan Wind Ancient Country.
“Judging from the growth trajectory of the Kalpa Beast, it shouldn’t be from the cultivator side,” Luo Feng thought, “It should be a terrifying life from outside the cage.”
Luo Feng had to admit that just seeing the growth trajectory of the Kalpa Beast made Luo Feng feel admiration, but there was still a stronger existence that could restrain the Kalpa Beast.
“One must have a heart of reverence.” Luo Feng secretly advised himself, “Like the Kalpa Beast, even a terrifying existence above the ultimate God King realm is still being restrained, and I am only a small Chaos realm cultivator now.”
Luo Feng carefully memorized this image, after all, it cost 100,000 merits to watch the inheritance hall once, and enough time was given.
The original “Three Thousand Void Kalpa Beast Diagram” was a painting, but this time it was a space-time image, which was much more real and detailed.
Luo Feng immersed himself in it, carefully comprehending and watching, “Only with the heart of immortality can one survive endless tribulations.”
Carefully watching, Luo Feng had a deeper understanding of the accepted heart of immortality, “One can abandon everything, even one’s own life. Only in this way, without hesitating anything, undergoing nirvana and transformation time after time, can one reach this step.”
Luo Feng shook his head slightly, “But precisely because of this, it even abandoned its former friends, it even devoured friends who shared weal and woe with it many times.”
Luo Feng saw much more detailed growth traces than in the “Kalpa Beast Diagram”!
In the later stages, the Kalpa Beast had become incomparably powerful, and there were several friends following him! Just to become stronger, the Kalpa Beast still broke through them one by one, attacked and killed friends, and devoured friends. It became stronger, and on the road to growth, it did not need partners, it only needed itself to be stronger.
Finally, one day, it was caught, without even seeing who made the move.
With just a change in time and space, it was thrown into a prison world, and a series of void chains wrapped around it, from which it could never break free. This was the Kalpa Beast’s ending.
Luo Feng watched with some sighs, “It was caught just with a change in time and space, without even seeing who the opponent was.”
“Its mind and will are very strong, but in the end, it depends on strength. If its strength is not enough, it will also become a prisoner.”
This was also a warning to Luo Feng that it was too difficult to defeat the enemy with just mind and will. It required a huge advantage in mind and will, and also an advantage in will secret techniques.
As his strength increased, the advantage of “Lie Yuan Technique” would become smaller and smaller. He could completely annihilate some Chaos realm cultivators, on the one hand, because their will was much weaker than his, and on the other hand, because the advantage of “Lie Yuan Technique” was very large!
However, for some ancient existences on the Origin Continent, the gap between their will secret techniques and the “Lie Yuan Technique” would narrow. Even the emperors of the Yan Wind Ancient Country and the monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Country had not been heard of killing God Kings with will.
Luo Feng understood this point, mind and will were ultimately a factor in cultivation, and comprehending the Great Dao was the foundation of cultivation.
Watching the shadow of the Kalpa Beast, on the one hand, strengthened Luo Feng’s heart towards the Dao, and also made him understand that there was no shortcut to the cultivation of the Great Dao.
The help of “Lie Yuan Technique” would ultimately become weaker and weaker. On the other hand, it also made Luo Feng know that there was always someone stronger, and to always have a heart of reverence.
As time passed, Luo Feng became more focused on the Great Dao and comprehended its mysteries.
Luo Feng had been in Chu Capital for twenty-seven epochs. The hidden space of the Origin Universe’s source land!
Luo Feng’s divine power incarnation directly faced the complete Life Source Dao, and could see the six branches of the Life Dao at a glance!
“I have already cultivated the lineage of the Body of Life to the peak of the Chaos realm.” Luo Feng looked at the Life Source Dao in front of him, “I have also collected seven portions of perfect Chaos-level life materials, but I still haven’t been able to comprehend the first section of the three-in-one form ‘Eight Tribulation Life Body’, which records the three branches of Life Spirituality, Body of Life, and Source of Life! Among them, Life Spirituality and Body of Life have now been promoted to the peak of the Chaos realm.
Before becoming a God King, it is impossible to improve further.
“I haven’t been able to comprehend it after comprehending it for so long! Is it really necessary to become a God King to comprehend the three-in-one form?” Luo Feng thought, “Perhaps I can try taking a Hunyuan Crystal Spirit Fruit.”
Originally, Luo Feng planned to take the Hunyuan Crystal Spirit Fruit after advancing the five major branches he mainly comprehended to the peak, and use the remaining 4 Hunyuan Crystal Spirit Fruits to attack the God King level. Now only two major branches have reached the peak of the Chaos realm. According to what his master said, taking five fruits in the Chaos realm and five fruits in the first God King realm.
Luo Feng thought that it was worth taking one fruit to reach a higher level of change.
Improving the change method can also deepen his understanding of the two major branches.
“Luo He, come to my Emperor Chu Palace!”
Suddenly, Luo Feng’s mind received a telepathic message from his master, Emperor Chu.
“Master is actively looking for me for the first time in more than twenty epochs,” Luo Feng was somewhat surprised, and his true self naturally rushed to the Emperor Chu Palace immediately.
Inside the Emperor Chu Palace, Emperor Chu sat cross-legged, his body towering but frowning slightly.
“The Ancestor, he sent back a batch of resources, all for the clan.” Emperor Chu thought, “Not long ago, the 13 emperors of the Yan Wind Ancient Country were summoned by the Yan Wind Ancestor and bestowed a large batch of resources. This batch of resources is divided into 13 portions, one for each of the thirteen branches of the royal family. According to the Ancestor’s instructions, this batch of resources is naturally to cultivate the clan. The Yan Wind Ancestor’s temperament is like this, treating his own clan members with all kinds of cultivation. As for outsiders, they are generally recruited as retainers, and retainers must work hard to earn merits in exchange for benefits. As for cultivating disciples, whoever cultivates disciples provides the resources.”
“This time, the royal elites can all get a batch of resources.” Emperor Chu thought, “My three disciples, the other two disciples often come to see me and ask me for guidance, but my third disciple, Luo Feng, has not come once in these more than twenty epochs.”
Compared to the royal elites, Emperor Chu was also very close to his three personal disciples.
In Emperor Chu’s view, while the royal elites were getting resources, he should also give his personal disciples some resources.
“Master.” Luo Feng walked in from outside the hall at this time and respectfully saluted.
“Since becoming a disciple, you haven’t come to ask me for advice once in more than twenty epochs.” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng.
“Don’t you have any confusion in terms of cultivation?”
Luo Feng respectfully said, “Master, I have some confusion in the aspect of the Life Source Dao.”
Emperor Chu’s eyelids jumped slightly. He didn’t understand the Life Source Dao.
“How is the Destruction Source Dao? Are you comprehending it smoothly?” Emperor Chu asked, this was the aspect he was good at.
“It’s still quite smooth for now,” Luo Feng said.
Although the “Seventy-Two Slashes of Annihilation” only recorded the Sky-Splitting lineage and the Dark Sky lineage to be at the peak Chaos realm level, the main reason was that he couldn’t directly face the complete Source Dao. Moreover, Moro Sa was only at the Chaos realm after all, so his progress was slower than the Life Source Dao.
Emperor Chu nodded and could only ask, “What confusion do you have about the Life Source Dao?”
Luo Feng waved his hand, and a gray particle appeared in front of him. The gray particle directly split open, revealing the two Yin-Yang fusion particles inside.
“This is the most basic particle form of perfect Chaos-level creatures, the three-in-one form.”
Luo Feng said, “This disciple has also gained much understanding, but ultimately failed to fully comprehend it.”
Emperor Chu looked at it and felt a headache. He devoted himself to cultivating the Destruction Source Dao and had a slight involvement in the Material Source Dao, the Cause-and-Effect Source Dao, and the Space Source Dao, but that was only equivalent to the ordinary God King level. As for the Life Source Dao, he really didn’t understand it.
“This disciple is very confused,” Luo Feng said, “Most of his energy in these more than twenty epochs has been on this. Please guide me, Master.”
“The three-in-one form? It’s considered a relatively superficial body structure!” Emperor Chu said while quickly thinking. As an emperor, his thinking speed was conceivable.
Emperor Chu suddenly waved his hand, and a corpse of a golden-scaled insect appeared in the hall. “This is the corpse of a Chaos-level creature. Its body structure is the Ten Directions World form, which is more profound than the three-in-one form. With its body, it can fight God Kings across realms. Study the more advanced Ten Directions World form carefully, and perhaps you can understand the simple three-in-one form when you look back.”
Luo Feng looked at the corpse of the golden-scaled insect in front of him in a daze. The aura of this corpse was powerful.
“This corpse?”
Luo Feng was puzzled. He had never even heard of such creatures!
