## Chapter 199: Fifth Scroll – Left Behind Alone
The Wu Xin God-King’s sword suddenly multiplied into twelve, forming a sword array that simultaneously besieged the Stone Monster chieftain and three ultra-powerful Stone Monsters!
The Gui Xu Emperor and the Wu Xin God-King coordinated with practiced ease. Seeing his friend unleash the sword array, he immediately exploded with power, his Chaotic Origin bloodline erupting completely, surging blood-colored flames spreading outwards.
Ignoring the damage to his physical body from this extreme outburst, the Gui Xu Emperor even employed one of the two ultimate realm secret techniques he had mastered: “Heaven and Earth Great Collapse.”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!!!” The Gui Xu Emperor’s eight arms wielded eight weapons, causing even the heavens and earth to warp.
His first strike, a heavy hammer, directly cracked the enormous Stone Monster’s body. The third strike, a black great axe, caused the Stone Monster to wail in agony as its body was cleaved in two.
In the blink of an eye, the world-destroying, continuous attacks seemed to return all things to primal chaos, even reducing that Stone Monster to a swirling flow of chaotic energy.
This scene astonished the other Stone Monsters.
“The Gui Xu Emperor’s outbursts are truly ferocious,” Luo Feng thought, secretly impressed. That Stone Monster was comparable to the Tian Kun Kingdom Lord in strength, and its physical toughness was no less than the Tian Kun Kingdom Lord’s Chaotic Origin bloodline body. Yet, it was reduced to dust in just over ten strikes!
“Beautiful!” the Wu Xin God-King exclaimed with delight. “Gui Xu, quickly eliminate those smaller Stone Monsters. I’ll entangle these three stronger ones.”
Now, only having to entangle the Stone Monster chieftain and two ultra-powerful Stone Monsters, the Wu Xin God-King’s burden was much lighter. The sword array was now perfectly capable of containing them.
“Roar~~”
The Stone Monster chieftain roared in furious rage, and the other two ultra-powerful Stone Monsters also hammered away in anger.
The Wu Xin God-King’s sword array was incomparably resilient, like a prison that trapped the three of them, forcing them to watch as the Gui Xu Emperor, in his fully erupted state, slaughtered the entangled Stone Monsters.
Those three hundred-plus Stone Monsters were currently being harassed by over three hundred Luo Fengs.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”…
Wherever the Gui Xu Emperor passed, the ordinary God-King Second Realm Stone Monsters, whose strengths varied, required three or four strikes to kill the stronger ones. The weaker ones could be smashed into rubble with a single hammer blow.
In the span of a breath, over a dozen Stone Monsters had already perished.
The entire Stone Monster horde began to stir. Though their intelligence was low, they could still feel anger, fear, and a longing for their comrades.
“Merge!” the Stone Monster chieftain roared in unbridled fury, the roar imbued with its will.
Previously, this Dream Realm creature tribe had wanted to encircle Luo Feng and his companions, preventing them from escaping! But now, with the chieftain’s command, they no longer scattered, instead actively beginning to converge.
The Stone Monster chieftain led its two powerful subordinates and actively began to merge with its other comrades.
Rumble~~~
Luo Feng’s three hundred-plus clones could only harass, unable to trap their opponents! These Stone Monsters continuously gathered, and after converging, they naturally began to fuse together.
“They can fuse into one,” the Gui Xu Emperor stated.
The Wu Xin God-King smiled. “They’ve given up on encirclement.”
Once they merged into one, their strength seemingly became even greater, but they became a single entity! A clumsy individual, even with terrifying power, still couldn’t hinder the Reincarnation Small Tower team’s escape.
“Rumble~~” As the Stone Monster chieftain merged with its kin, forming a ‘super-large Stone Monster’ that was incredibly massive.
“Retreat!” Luo Feng and the others showed no fear.
With the Wu Xin God-King’s ultimate realm-level escape technique, their flight, agility, and speed were significantly faster than the super-large Stone Monster. They quickly shook it off and escaped far away.
“Roar~~~” The super-large Stone Monster stood there, roaring in frustrated rage. After chasing for several hundred steps, the Wu Xin God-King had escaped the Dream Realm creature’s territory and completely vanished, hidden from sight.
…
“They actually escaped.”
In the distant void, the Two Realms Palace members felt a hint of regret.
“The Reincarnation Small Tower members are strong enough, but if they were besieged by nearly a hundred God-King Second Realm Stone Monsters, they would have likely lost a significant number this time,” the winged woman shook her head. “But this time, there was one who excels at creating clones.”
“To be able to control hundreds of clones simultaneously, and harass eighty-nine God-King Second Realm Dream Realm creatures. Even if it’s just harassment… that’s still remarkable.”
“The Origin Continent has given rise to another troublesome existence.”
Various parties observed.
They were all God-King Second Realm hegemons, but they understood that, even among those at the same realm, there were great differences.
Like the ‘Boat Master’ of the Space-Time Lonely Boat, who only cultivated a single Grand Dao, the ‘Grand Dao of Time Origin,’ yet was the most accomplished in this path in the entire Origin Continent. Even though he was only at the peak of the God-King Second Realm, he traveled through different timelines, with three incarnations… even the Emperors and Monarchs of the Origin Continent found him a headache.
Even if the Emperors and Monarchs possessed ultimate realm lifeforms, they could only contact his ‘present self’ and couldn’t threaten the Space-Time Lonely Boat’s ‘past self’ or ‘future self.’
Like the Wu Xin God-King, who had never had his true body die once since he began cultivating, aside from voluntarily choosing to reincarnate! Whether it was Emperor-level assassinations or dangers within various treasure lands, his true self had always survived.
This type of God-King Second Realm naturally surpassed those like the Tian Kun Kingdom Lord and the Yu Kingdom Kingdom Lord by far.
“He can harass so many Dream Realm creatures because they have low intelligence and simple techniques. If he encountered God-Kings, whose techniques are far more sophisticated, he would expend a great deal of effort just to harass one…”
“Even so, harassing seven or eight God-King Second Realm beings shouldn’t be difficult.”
“His true identity is probably some old monster.”
Everyone concealed their aura and changed their appearance. They naturally suspected that Luo Feng was some old monster from the real world.
“He should be someone at the peak of the God-King Second Realm.”
“The Reincarnation Small Tower team hadn’t been seen with him before, so it seems they’ve gained another member.” They spoke amongst themselves.
Though the White-Haired Palace Master was surprised that the Reincarnation Small Tower had gained another troublesome expert, he wasn’t too concerned. There were many more troublesome individuals than ‘Luo Feng’ on the Origin Continent. If someone like the Wind Capital Empress or the Earth God-King emerged, that would truly shake the entire Origin Continent.
“Let’s go. There’s no need to stay in this Dream Realm space any longer. Let’s go to the next one,” the White-Haired Palace Master said.
“Let’s go.” The Two Realms Palace team quietly left this space, heading to the next Dream Realm space.
…
Under the Wu Xin God-King’s leadership, Luo Feng and his companions quickly shook off the pursuit of that super-large Stone Monster.
“Haha, we all survived,” the Gui Xu Emperor laughed heartily.
“Thanks to Brother Luo He,” the Wu Xin God-King looked at Luo Feng. “Brother Luo He, your cloning technique has reached an unfathomable level. There are few in the entire Origin Continent who can compare to you.”
Luo Feng smiled.
There were still many! Those at the Emperor and Monarch level who excelled at cloning numbered more than one could count on one hand!
“This is my only skill,” Luo Feng said. “I’m far inferior in other aspects.”
“The previously agreed distribution is no longer suitable,” the Gui Xu Emperor said. “Brother Luo He doesn’t just scout for danger and search for treasures. When encountering powerful enemies, he can also help intercept many of them.”
“In that case, Gui Xu and I will each give half a percentage of our share to Brother Luo He,” the Wu Xin God-King said. “This way, Gui Xu, myself, and Brother Luo He will each have thirty percent.”
“Brother Luo He’s clones are so powerful, I’m actually getting a bargain,” the Cloud Sky God-King said with a smile.
Her share seemingly hadn’t changed, but the team’s overall strength was greater, and they obtained more treasures, so her share naturally increased.
She was aware of her limitations. Given her contributions, getting one percent was already quite good.
“Then I won’t decline,” Luo Feng said, not being overly polite.
“That’s the spirit,” the Gui Xu Emperor said. “This time, we were schemed against. That winged woman, though I don’t know her real identity… I’ve encountered her multiple times in treasure lands. She’s a member of the Two Realms Palace.”
“The Two Realms Palace is scheming against us again,” the Wu Xin God-King said, also quite annoyed. “I also tried to track them just now, but their means of concealing themselves are very powerful. I didn’t detect the slightest trace.”
In terms of tracking enemies, the Wu Xin God-King was also extremely skilled.
“The Two Realms Palace teams are usually led by a Palace Master’s clone,” the Gui Xu Emperor said. “The Two Realms Palace Master is, after all, a foreign race. His realm is comparable to the two Great Ancient Kingdom’s founders. If he’s intent on hiding, none of us can detect him.”
Luo Feng now understood why the two Great Ancient Kingdoms targeted the Two Realms Palace, the Myriad Law Tower, and the Space-Time Lonely Boat.
Because these three foreign race forces were vast in number, divided into multiple teams, and led by clones of powerful foreign race experts to compete for opportunities. The foreign race experts had keen eyes and focused on searching for top-tier treasures. Their competition was far more intense than that of the Reincarnation Small Tower.
“Let’s look for an opportunity in the future,” the Wu Xin God-King said.
“Brother Luo He, conflicts between different forces are very common. You’ll see much more of them in the future,” the Gui Xu Emperor said with a laugh.
Luo Feng nodded. “Let’s leave this Dream Realm space as well. The Two Realms Palace has already explored it, so the easily discoverable treasures are probably very few.”
“Alright.”
“Let’s go to the next Dream Realm space.”
The Reincarnation Small Tower team quickly departed, continuing to explore another Dream Realm space.
…
Within this mountain forest space.
Luo Feng left a World Lifeform clone behind. This clone occupied one-thousandth of his energy reserves and would naturally absorb energy and slowly grow over time.
“This mountain forest space has been explored by both the Reincarnation Small Tower and the Two Realms Palace, so there are few treasures left. It will probably be relatively peaceful for a while.” Luo Feng sat cross-legged on a patch of grass.
Dream Realm creatures generally stay within their fixed territories.
Only a very few leave their territory under special circumstances.
“I’ll try cultivating the ‘Grand Destruction Heart Refining Technique’ here,” Luo Feng wasn’t in a rush to cultivate in the Dream Realm’s deep layers because he still needed to accompany his companions in their treasure hunt. The burden on his ‘heart and willpower’ in the deep layers of the Dream Realm was too great and would affect his combat performance.
The mountain forest space in the Dream Realm’s middle layers was more suitable.
“Rumble~~~”
After activating the “Grand Destruction Heart Refining Technique,” it instantly transformed into a dim, chaotic vortex, enveloping his heart and willpower, constantly squeezing, crushing, tearing, and annihilating it. Furthermore, the illusions of the Dream Realm’s middle layers continuously seeped in, influencing Luo Feng’s mind.
The increasingly harsh environment naturally made the training of his heart and willpower more apparent.
The slight distracting thoughts influenced by the environment, their stability weakened, were naturally torn apart and annihilated by the ‘dim, chaotic vortex,’ and Luo Feng’s heart and willpower became even purer.
“Tempering the heart is something that must continue forever,” Luo Feng understood this point.
Because, with time, new distractions would arise.
Only by constantly tempering oneself could one hope to progress.
Once one stopped, one might actually regress.
This was why some experts in the Thunder Ancient Kingdom partially lost control. They might suppress the bloodline’s residual will for a period of time, but once distracting thoughts arose and their heart wavered, the residual will would retaliate and cause them to lose control.
“The Dream Realm environment is very suitable for the ‘Grand Destruction Heart Refining Technique,'” Luo Feng cultivated with a calm mind, while his other clones accompanied the Gui Xu Emperor and the others in their treasure hunt.
