Chapter 214: Heart and Soul Transformation (Part Two)

Within a magnificent palace, inside a secluded chamber.

The Divine King Jiuye revealed his true form – a colossal avian beast! His plumage shimmered with ink-like mist, a crimson crest adorned his head, and his icy eyes were half-lidded.

He was born in a primordial universe, braving the cycle of reincarnation to arrive on the Origin Continent.

In his primordial universe, he was a special life form, a savage bird of prey from birth! He reveled in devouring living beings… In that universe, he was a nightmare incarnate, obliterating countless races one after another.

Eventually, he became the most terrifying existence in the territories surrounding that primordial universe. When he had devoured all the life within, he ventured through reincarnation, finally allowing the newborn life in that region some respite.

But upon arriving on the Origin Continent, his strength continued to grow. He later seized control of his home primordial universe! His divine power avatars casually consumed living creatures.

“On the Origin Continent, I am still not strong enough. I must endure,” Divine King Jiuye mused. He was born with a craving to devour living beings, yet now he could only slightly “whet his appetite” within his own territory.

His offspring, raised on the Origin Continent, possessed extraordinary bloodlines and innate power, and most shared his penchant for devouring living things.

“When will I truly be invincible on the Origin Continent? Then I can treat the entire continent as my hunting ground,” Divine King Jiuye’s cold eyes gleamed with anticipation. “That would be true bliss, true freedom.”

Suddenly–

An invisible attack descended.

Divine King Jiuye vanished silently, without a trace.

As if an eraser had wiped him clean! He was simply gone.

His weapons, secret treasures, and other belongings, however, tumbled to the side, untouched.

“Hm?”

Within the quiet chamber, Luo Feng, clad in black, materialized.

“Too weak,” Luo Feng murmured, shaking his head lightly. “My Grand Annihilation Strike barely penetrated, and he was already gone.”

The Grand Annihilation Strike was formed from the fusion of six branches of the ‘Dao of Creation and Destruction,’ possessing the characteristics of a curse capable of affecting all of the target’s incarnations! Of course, Divine King Jiuye had no incarnations. At the moment of his death, his resurrection medium was also affected.

The resurrection medium, such as a drop of blood or a feather… its resistance was far inferior to an incarnation.

Under the Grand Annihilation Strike, it was instantly obliterated.

Because his death was so swift, Divine King Jiuye didn’t even have time to cast a reincarnation secret technique.

“You are the first Divine King to die under the Grand Annihilation Strike,” Luo Feng said, pleased with the power of this technique, which he had painstakingly created over thirty eras, using the memory images from his dream realm as a reference.

“Vanish,” Luo Feng commanded, his mind in motion. A wisp of black smoke instantly traversed the immense distance, descending upon Divine King Jiuye’s seven children. Except for one daughter, who abhorred devouring living beings and had become a disciple of another Divine King, the other seven children, like their father, enjoyed the prolonged consumption of countless lives.

……

With Divine King Jiuye’s death, the primordial universe he controlled regained its freedom.

“Buzz.” Outside the primordial universe, the slightly smaller miniature universe began to collapse.

“The holy land is collapsing? Did the Ancestor die?”

“Impossible! How could the Ancestor die?”

In the miniature universe, Jiuye’s descendants were stricken with terror.

The powerhouses of the primordial universe and numerous miniature universes, on the other hand, rejoiced! Living beings from cycle after cycle had lived under Divine King Jiuye’s shadow. Even the primordial universe had been controlled.

In the past, they were merely dishes on Divine King Jiuye’s plate, selected and devoured at his whim, powerless to resist.

Until this day, Divine King Jiuye had finally perished, and they had achieved great liberation!

******

Divine King Jiuye’s death attracted some attention from certain forces on the Origin Continent, but most didn’t pay it much heed.

After all, these ordinary Divine Kings at the first level frequently fell. Even if their strength was weak and they were destroyed, they usually had enough time to reincarnate! Avoiding calamity through reincarnation was a common practice for ordinary Divine Kings.

Divine King Jiuye may have been weak, but Luo Feng, before comprehending the ‘Grand Annihilation Strike,’ had been unable to prevent him from reincarnating.

The power of the Chaotic Undying Light was insufficient to instantly obliterate Divine King Jiuye and his resurrection medium.

Even the ultimate Divine King-level will, combined with the Liè Yuan technique, did not guarantee the complete annihilation of Divine King Jiuye. After all, Divine King Jiuye had come from a primordial universe; he was not a Divine King created by external forces like those in the Shadow Heavens Realm.

“Hoo… hoo…”

After sending his disciple An Fengya back to Hu Yang City, Luo Feng continued to wander the Origin Continent.

The Celestial Ice Plains possessed a harsh environment. The deeper one went, the colder it became.

“Here…” Luo Feng arrived at a warm and comfortable vast territory. Here, there was no sign of wind or snow, countless plants grew luxuriantly, and many tribes lived in the wilderness.

The comfortable environment here had greatly increased the number of cultivators.

“This is the Realm of Fire Ancestor.”

Fire Ancestor resided permanently in Fire Ancestor City, leading the incredibly vast surrounding territory. Because of his existence, this vast territory had become warm and suitable for survival.

This place occupied less than one-tenth of the Celestial Ice Plains, yet it was home to more than half of the living beings in the Celestial Ice Plains.

“There are a total of five unattached cultivators at the second level of Divine King with the strength of an Emperor. Among them, Empress Fengdu and Fire Ancestor are very detached.”

“The reason they are detached is because they don’t compete.”

Fire Ancestor resided in the remote Celestial Ice Plains, never joined any power, and his figure was rarely seen in any treasure grounds. Yet, his strength was incomparably powerful.

The two ancient countries greatly favored such strong individuals!

“He doesn’t compete, but he protects more than half of the living beings in the Celestial Ice Plains with all his might.” As Luo Feng walked along, he saw the prosperity of the Fire Ancestor Realm. Countless beings here greatly revered the Fire Ancestor.

Luo Feng also saw Fire Ancestor City in the distance.

Fire Ancestor City was like a source of warmth, where invisible rules circulated, naturally affecting the vast territory. “Though he doesn’t compete, he protects countless beings with all his might.”

“Admirable.”

Luo Feng also felt respect. He admired few experts on the Origin Continent, but Fire Ancestor was one of them.

Hoo~~~~

Luo Feng continued to travel.

“Luo He?” Inside Fire Ancestor City, a simply dressed, red-haired figure looked at Luo Feng from afar, smiling. “Another powerful existence is about to emerge on the Origin Continent.”

As long as someone came to Fire Ancestor’s realm, he could sense it.

Fire Ancestor then closed his eyes. His soul merged with the countless flames between heaven and earth. Some of these flames were cooking food, some were refining elixirs, and some were refining tools…

……

Luo Feng also arrived at the Eastern Frontier Domain, which was the most remote and desolate place on the Origin Continent.

“The Eastern Frontier Domain Ancestor protects this place, and Empress Fengdu also came from here.” As Luo Feng walked through this vast territory, the power of heaven and earth here was much thinner, and the treasures of heaven and earth were also scarce.

But the environment here was comfortable, and various melons and fruits were common.

!

These indigenous creatures were all relatively large and burly. They didn’t use sophisticated weapons or secret treasures. Instead, they casually used stone sticks, wooden sticks, and other items as weapons. Their food was also very ordinary; just ordinary melons and fruits.

They worshiped heaven and earth. Many indigenous creatures were feeling heaven and earth, comprehending heaven and earth.

Once they fought, they were also cruel and insane.

“Indigenous creatures don’t care about external objects; they seek more from within.”

“But among them, many Divine King-level existences were also born, even existences at the level of Empress Fengdu. Who can say that their path is wrong?” Luo Feng understood their path.

Abandon all external things and focus on oneself, focus on the great Dao! This was the path of the indigenous creatures.

……

Luo Feng walked to the end of the Origin Continent, looking ahead at the endless universe sea.

The chaotic airflow surged and roared, pitch-black and without end.

“Whether it is the primordial universe or the Origin Continent, this world is wonderful,” Luo Feng said, sitting cross-legged at the end of the continent, looking at the universe sea. “But many ancient Divine Kings regard countless living beings as cultivation resources.”

“They are all extremely intelligent and have seen through some of the mysteries of the Dao’s operation.”

“But they don’t care about the joys, sorrows, and joys of ordinary living beings; they care about their own strength! Whether they can become the Ultimate Realm? Whether they can transcend the source world?”

Therefore, those ancient existences meticulously calculated.

“Perhaps, this is part of the operating rules of heaven and earth.”

Luo Feng also understood this.

The operation of heaven and earth is composed of nine complete Daos.

The law of the jungle… is one aspect of it, which makes countless living beings compete and strive.

Emotional resonance… This is a characteristic of living beings. Luo Feng also understood that he took pity on the weak. It was his emotional aspect of “pity.”

The operation of heaven and earth, the law of the jungle, emotion, order, destruction, cleaning, hope… all aspects are intertwined, promoting the operation of the world.

“All things have a Dao, and each has its own destiny.”

“However…”

“I have my own Dao!”

“A cultivator is using his own strength to overcome heaven and earth!”

“Using my own Dao, I will surpass the Dao of heaven and earth and completely transcend the source world,” Luo Feng said, his eyes calm. “At that time, I can decide how all things operate! The so-called order and destiny will be determined by me!”

“This is cultivation!”

Following the will of heaven is for the mediocre.

One’s own strength to overcome heaven and earth is the pursuit of cultivators, and it is also the expectation of countless living beings bred by the supreme rules, expecting the living beings it breeds… to surpass it!

Luo Feng’s heart and soul underwent another transformation at this moment.

More than two hundred eras as a Divine King, a strong spiritual foundation, dream realm cultivation, boundless space cultivation, the assistance of treasures such as the Five-Colored Treasure Medicine’s Scale of Destruction, directly facing dream memories to create the “Grand Annihilation Strike,” refining the heart with seven emotions, walking on the Origin Continent…

Slow transformations, until this moment, finally, quantitative change caused qualitative change.

“Strength can overcome heaven!”

Luo Feng’s heart and soul will formed a clear humanoid figure with the same face as Luo Feng.

The clear figure enveloped Luo Feng. The terrifying will was all condensed, looking around, its power was terrifying.

“A soul body?”

The will of the soul was so strong that it could break away from the physical body and form a phantom body.

“I feel that this soul body… is stronger than my physical body.” A soul will that surpassed the Divine King level was extremely powerful. All Divine King wills would be suppressed or even destroyed in front of it.

Divine King-level will, to will that surpassed the Divine King level. Breaking through this bottleneck was the most difficult bottleneck on Luo Feng’s soul will path.

This bottleneck also trapped many Divine Kings.

There were very few on the Origin Continent who could do this. Now Luo Feng was one of them.
