Chapter 220: Guarding the Years

“God King Bai Feng, let’s go hand over the duties,” Luo Feng said, looking at the God King Bai Feng beside him.

God King Bai Feng nodded slightly, and immediately transformed, dividing into thirty-six clones: “Let’s go, I’ll lead the way.” Luo Feng likewise split into thirty-six clones, proceeding to different entrances of the Heavenly Pillar World to complete the handover.

The Great Paths of Time Source, Space Source, Life Source, and Limitless Source all possess clone techniques, yet each has its own distinct characteristics.

The Time lineage’s clone technique allows for a total of only three clones, including the original! Past, Present, and Future! However, each clone possesses a complete physical body and soul, representing peak strength, as if three complete versions of oneself were confronting the enemy. Moreover, these three selves can exist in different timelines.

The Path of Space is similar. The number of clones that can be cultivated is limited, but the powerful clones that are created maintain a complete physical body and soul.

The paths of Life and Limitless are different.

The Life path allows for an infinite number of clones, but they are all derived from oneself. For example, if Luo Feng only has one powerful soul, he can only split off a portion, and the soul that is split off will be much weaker.

The number of World Lifeforms he can control is limited! The more he splits off, the weaker he becomes.

The Limitless path is similar; despite being called “Limitless,” it is ultimately unique.

This already makes the other paths envious.

Destruction, Extremity, Cause and Effect, Material, and World typically cannot produce clone techniques at all.

The illusory clones of Yuan, for example, are actually derived from a Great Path that doesn’t exist in the Origin Continent: the ‘Illusory Realm Great Path.’ Yuan’s current path is a fusion of ‘Illusory and Real Worlds,’ a fusion path that seeks to combine the ‘Illusory Realm Great Path’ and the ‘World Great Path,’ but this path is even more difficult than Luo Feng’s.

Luo Feng’s foundations of Life and Destruction both have complete Great Paths to reference.

Yuan’s illusory path has no reference at all. To also want to fuse them? Naturally even more ethereal and unattainable!

“Brother Luo He, this guarding task is henceforth entrusted to you,” God King Bai Feng said with a smile, completing the handover with Luo Feng and offering his advice. “Being a guard here may subject you to some unpleasantness. You must be patient and endure.”

“I understand,” Luo Feng replied with a slight smile.

The Heavenly Pillar World, as the number one treasure land, only allows guest officials to serve as guards. Those who truly enter the Heavenly Pillar World for in-depth exploration are all high-level members of the two great Royal Clans! Many of the two Royal Clans cultivate Primal Chaos bloodlines, and many have terrible tempers.

God King Bai Feng nodded and then flew away.

Luo Feng watched him depart.

“God King Bai Feng and Emperor Xuan are close friends and have completely joined the Yanfeng Ancient Country. But it seems he has suffered quite a bit of unpleasantness,” Luo Feng thought to himself.

Second level God King guest officials who are highly valued in the Yanfeng Ancient Country’s Royal Clan are all extraordinary! After all, the Yanfeng Ancient Country’s Royal Clan looks down on those who are weak.

In terms of strength, God King Bai Feng is comparable to King Tiandu and Emperor Guixu. He also has a fearsome reputation.

Of course, from the outside perspective…

Luo Feng, in the first level of God Kings, was able to fight the Country Lord of Shi to a standstill. Now, having become a second level God King, with the number of clones he possesses, compared to God King Bai Feng and Emperor Guixu, he should be not too far behind. Most importantly, Luo Feng’s rise is extremely rapid, and his potential is high! Emperors and Monarchs must take him seriously.

The group of Emperor Yan, Emperor Xi, and Emperor Wu targeting Luo Feng so intensely is due not only to the grudges with Emperor Chu, but also because they sense the threat that Luo Feng poses.

Therefore, they want to strip him of his guest official status, preventing Luo Feng from obtaining certain opportunities.

However…

Emperor Fu allowed Luo Feng to guard the Heavenly Pillar World.

The power of the Ruling Emperor is greatest. If he favors Luo Feng, Emperor Yan and the others can do nothing.

“Buzz.”

Luo Feng controlled the array disc he received in the handover, and the terrifying might of the array enveloped the surroundings.

“The thirty-six auxiliary formations are integrated with the central core formation. The entire array is mainly controlled by Emperor Xuan,” Luo Feng could sense. “I can only guide and mobilize the power of the array.”

“With the power of the array, I can suppress Emperor Guixu and God King Wuxin,” Luo Feng affirmed.

The Yanfeng Ancient Country’s array in the number one treasure land is also the most terrifying in power. The Reincarnation Small Tower’s team, unless led by the ‘Queen Fengdu or the Earth God King,’ can only advance while resisting the array.

But if that happens, the Emperors and Monarchs guarding the two great Ancient Countries would simultaneously attack. Their combined strength, coupled with the array, would be unimaginable.

“Although I am a guard, I dare not let cultivators in without permission. Because Emperor Xuan, as the controller of the array, can sense everything that happens here.” Luo Feng’s usefulness only lies in making it ten or a hundred times more difficult for outsiders to break the array.

Without a guard, breaking a fixed array disc would be much easier.

With a guard carrying it, the first thing to do is kill the guard! Under the protection of the array’s power, killing a second level God King like Luo Feng’s clone? The difficulty is unimaginable.

“According to the information my Master gave me, the greatest opportunity in the outer perimeter of the Heavenly Pillar World is those thirty-six Heavenly Pillars,” Luo Feng thought, and immediately split off a clone, flying toward one of those towering Heavenly Pillars in the distance.

As a guest official, he cannot enter the inner regions of the Heavenly Pillar World, so he can only explore the opportunities on the outer perimeter.

……

The Heavenly Pillar was so high that its end could not be seen.

Luo Feng landed in front of this Heavenly Pillar, and he immediately noticed a figure in purple armor not far away.

“Demon King Yano,” Luo Feng recognized him at a glance.

Demon King Yano is among the top three strongest guest official God Kings in the Leiting Ancient Country, following the path of Destruction, cultivating a Primal Chaos bloodline, and possessing terrifying strength. He is highly valued by the Leiting Ancient Country.

Demon King Yano glanced at Luo Feng.

“God King Luo He,” Demon King Yano said with a slight smile. Although he is arrogant, he dares not underestimate this God King Luo He. God King Luo He’s momentum is indeed terrifying. Many ancient powerhouses in the Origin Continent believe… God King Luo He has the potential to be comparable to Emperors.

“Demon King Yano,” Luo Feng nodded and then carefully observed this towering Heavenly Pillar.

Countless secret runes extended across the Heavenly Pillar. Luo Feng watched them.

“Boom!”

The extending secret runes, under Luo Feng’s observation, transformed into an infinitely vast and immense axe! This axe was too enormous. Luo Feng could only see a portion of it, but he felt that the axe broke through all rules and cleaved everything open…

Luo Feng was completely shocked.

He watched with fascination for several days before stopping.

“The artistic conception of this axe is indeed far beyond a complete Great Path,” Luo Feng thought. “It feels like it has some of the charm of the Star Tower’s blood-colored scales. But the secret runes of the Star Tower’s blood-colored scales are more vast and detailed, requiring a will beyond the God King level to simply observe. And this Heavenly Pillar… it feels that a God King Ultimate Realm will is enough to observe, and the secret runes are relatively crude and casual.”

Luo Feng could tell at a glance that only about three thousand six hundred spiraling and intertwined secret runes led Luo Feng to see the image of the giant axe.

The secret runes were far simpler than the Star Tower’s blood-colored scales.

But the artistic conception was extremely lofty, and the pressure of observation was relatively small. Normal second level God Kings in the Origin Continent are able to see this scene hidden within the Heavenly Pillar.

“This axe, I feel, is the path of Destruction. But it is much more profound than the Great Path of Destruction.”

“In the future, I can study it more.”

!

Luo Feng did not rush to immerse himself.

His main focus now is on the ‘Twenty-Four Phase Form.’ The World Lifeform breaking through as soon as possible is the most important thing.

This kind of scene with an artistic conception far beyond a complete Great Path, and with such simple secret runes! Studying it will definitely be more difficult than studying a complete Great Path! This is also the reason why the two great Royal Clans are willing to let guest officials observe.

It is difficult to gain much. Being able to comprehend a bit and create a powerful secret technique would be very good.

……

Luo Feng successively observed the thirty-six Heavenly Pillars. Each Heavenly Pillar had spiraling secret runes, and with Luo Feng’s mental will, he could clearly see the scenes that the secret runes ultimately transformed into.

Or a giant axe cleaving everything open…

Or a river flowing without end…

Or a strange cube…

Or a flame lotus…

Each scene had an artistic conception that surpassed the Great Path.

“I heard that after comprehending a complete Great Path, there is no clear guidance anymore, and you need to explore in the dark,” Luo Feng thought. “These thirty-six Heavenly Pillars are probably like a lamp in the dark, which can point the direction.”

These thirty-six Heavenly Pillars are mainly related to the nine Origin Great Paths of the Origin Continent. For example, the paths of Life and Destruction each have four Heavenly Pillars.

“Senior Yuan is indeed well-intentioned,” Luo Feng could feel the kindness of this Senior Yuan towards the later generations of cultivators.

******

After Luo Feng briefly explored the outer perimeter of the Heavenly Pillar World, he guarded it peacefully, focusing on his cultivation.

Epochs flowed by.

“Whoosh.”

Two figures flew into the array. The talismans they carried resonated with the array, and they were not hindered in any way.

Luo Feng, who was responsible for guarding, looked up.

“So it’s God King Luo He guarding,” one of the figures said with a smile.

Luo Feng also smiled: “God King Tian Mu, long time no see.”

When he first went to the treasure land ‘Limitless Space,’ he met God King Tian Mu. As a God King of the Yanfeng Ancient Country’s Royal Clan, God King Tian Mu was very friendly to him, which was very rare. Luo Feng naturally remembered him deeply.

“We are destined to meet. When God King Luo He went to Limitless Space, he was still a Chaos Realm cultivator. At that time, I was already in the first level of God Kings,” God King Tian Mu said with a smile. “Now God King Luo He is already a second level God King, while I am still in the first level of God Kings.”

God King Tian Mu was also very emotional. His resources were much better than Luo Feng’s. He could enter many treasure lands and obtain many precious resources.

During the first level of God Kings, he was unwilling to use the Primal Chaos bloodline.

He hoped to become a second level God King first. If he was completely stuck in a bottleneck, he would then use the Primal Chaos bloodline.

“Tian Mu, let’s go quickly,” another Royal Clan second level God King frowned and said, too lazy to say a word to Luo Feng.

“Let’s go.” God King Tian Mu said goodbye to Luo Feng, and then left with his companion.

Luo Feng watched them leave.

……

In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng had guarded the Heavenly Pillar World for twenty-seven epochs. During this time, two Royal Clan God Kings from the Yanfeng Ancient Country entered, and three Royal Clan God Kings from the Leiting Ancient Country entered. The Royal Clan God Kings from the Leiting Ancient Country only glanced at Luo Feng, too lazy to say a word, and then entered the depths of the Heavenly Pillar World.

“I heard that the Royal Clan God Kings of the Leiting Ancient Country generally cultivate the Primal Chaos bloodline, and some Royal Clans treat all non-Royal Clan members as servants,” Luo Feng sighed secretly. “In comparison, the Yanfeng Ancient Country is slightly better.”

In the peaceful years, one phase after another of the Twenty-Four Phase Form was comprehended. As the accumulation deepened, it became faster and faster until it was completely comprehended.

“It’s done.”

All of Luo Feng’s clones and incarnations scattered in Limitless Space, Dream Realm, Heavenly Pillar World, his home Original Universe, Huyang City, and other places, all smiled at this moment.
