Chapter 266: Sixth Collection of Rules
While Ancestral God Yanfeng, Emperor Qing, and Ancestral God ‘Feng Xi’ of the Eastern Domain remained by his side, Ancestral God Thunder had departed alone. Everyone could see his mood was not good.
“Under the power restrictions, I only gained a slight advantage by relying on two supreme treasures?” Luo Feng felt no elation, but rather a clearer awareness of the gap between himself and the strong from beyond the Origin Continent. “After leaving the Origin Continent, I must be even more cautious.”
These two great treasures were specifically for assisting cultivation and would not be taken out of the Origin Continent. Outside the Origin Continent… he would have to rely on his own strength to forge his path.
“Brother Galaxy,” Emperor Qing began with a smile, “I truly didn’t expect you to win this gamble battle. It really surprised us.”
Ancestral God Yanfeng watched Luo Feng from the side, also taken aback.
He knew very well that above God Kings, there were four steps.
The difference between the first step, ‘Early-Stage God Emperor,’ and the fourth step, ‘Perfected God Emperor,’ was too vast! Even with power restrictions, the difference in realm remained significant. Although supreme treasures were special, Ancestral God Yanfeng and the others had seen their fair share.
“This Galaxy… perhaps he is one of those dazzling existences found only among billions of worlds,” Ancestral God Yanfeng thought. In his travels beyond the Origin Continent with Ancestral God Thunder, they had witnessed many such brilliant beings.
Compared to those dazzling existences, the two of them were far too ordinary.
“Galaxy, winning this gamble battle has added a new rule to the Origin Continent from now on: Those guilty of great sins will surely die,” Ancestral God Feng Xi of the Eastern Domain said with a smile. She was delighted to see this outcome.
Among the several God Emperors, she was the most benevolent. Though she had no blood relation to the native lifeforms of the Origin Continent, she still willingly protected them.
“This gamble battle involved some luck,” Luo Feng said with a touch of emotion. If he hadn’t obtained the Eye of Creation and Destruction, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat Ancestral God Thunder with just the Star Tower.
“Galaxy, if you have time in the future, you can visit the Eastern Domain,” Ancestral God Feng Xi offered with a gentle smile.
“Certainly,” Luo Feng nodded.
Ancestral God of the Eastern Domain immediately bid farewell and departed.
“Galaxy,” Ancestral God Yanfeng said, “Why not come and sit in my Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom for a while?”
“Alright,” Luo Feng agreed. He had gained some inheritance and access to the Infinite Space Treasure Trove due to his status as a guest elder of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, with the help of his teacher, Emperor Chu. In a way, Ancestral God Yanfeng had been kind to him.
…
Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, atop a towering mountain.
Ancestral God Yanfeng, Emperor Qing, and Luo Feng sat down, as puppet lifeforms served them delicacies and fine wines.
“This is where I usually reside in seclusion,” Ancestral God Yanfeng said, looking at the surrounding mountain ranges. “Aside from myself, there are only some puppets here. I greatly enjoy the tranquility here.”
Ancestral God Yanfeng smiled as he looked at Luo Feng. “Galaxy, once you go beyond the Origin Continent, you will cherish these peaceful days within the Origin Continent.”
“Oh?” Luo Feng was very accustomed to the tranquility of the Origin Continent.
As far as he was concerned, no one could threaten him within the Origin Continent.
“Outside the Origin Continent, even while cultivating in your own cave dwelling, it’s possible for some very special ‘low-grade Chaos Lifeforms’ to sneak into your dwelling and launch a sneak attack,” Ancestral God Yanfeng shook his head. “Death can descend at any moment.”
“We, who have come from beyond the Origin Continent, are fortunate to have cultivated clones, so at least one clone remains in the Origin Continent. Those who rose from billions of worlds, however, do not have clone techniques, and their situation is far more precarious. For the sake of survival, they resort to any means necessary.”
Emperor Qing nodded. “Outside the Origin Continent, our main opponents are low-grade Chaos Lifeforms, but we must also be wary of assassinations from other cultivators.”
“Those without clone techniques are indeed more prone to madness,” Luo Feng nodded.
“Cultivators within the cage can be divided into two categories,” Ancestral God Yanfeng said. “One category consists of lifeforms within Origin Worlds. Origin Worlds are vast worlds born naturally and contain supreme rules. The other category consists of the billions of worlds created by Senior Yuan and the others. Many beings within those billions of worlds possess Chaos bloodlines from birth, making cultivation easier for them than for us.”
“Born with Chaos bloodlines?” Luo Feng asked, surprised.
“Like the Chaos bloodline creatures I cultivate,” Ancestral God Yanfeng said. “The creatures I cultivate have very low intelligence. But Senior Yuan and the others are able to integrate these Chaos bloodlines into intelligent beings. They possess sufficient wisdom and comprehension, as well as the aid of Chaos bloodlines. Therefore, the cultivators beyond the Origin Continent… are almost exclusively from the billions of worlds!”
“Our starting point is low. We are generally True Gods after birth, and cultivation is difficult. It’s countless times harder than for those born with Chaos bloodlines. But our potential is greater, and we can cultivate clone techniques,” Ancestral God Yanfeng said.
Luo Feng understood the two major categories of cultivators.
One was naturally born beings, and the other was beings from the billions of worlds created by Senior Yuan and the others.
“When you reach beyond the Origin Continent, you can witness various cultivation systems, hunt various low-grade Chaos Lifeforms, and exchange knowledge with strong individuals from billions of worlds. It’s easier to go further in the darkness,” Ancestral God Yanfeng said. “But competition for true treasures is too fierce beyond the Origin Continent.”
“Our best way to obtain treasures is still within the Origin Continent,” Emperor Qing nodded.
“Remnants of Special Lifeforms?” Luo Feng said.
“Yes.”
Ancestral God Yanfeng nodded. “You can hope to obtain a remnant of a Special Lifeform in the dark region of the Dream Domain or the depths of the Sky Pillar World. However, these two areas are limited to obtaining only one remnant each.”
“Limited to one?” Luo Feng was unaware of this information.
“For example, if you enter the dark region of the Dream Domain and painstakingly obtain a remnant of a Special Lifeform, you will be immediately expelled and unable to enter again,” Ancestral God Yanfeng said. “This should be a rule set by Senior Yuan. Therefore, adding the Dream Domain and the Sky Pillar World together, a being can obtain a maximum of two remnants of Special Lifeforms.”
“As a God Emperor Realm cultivator, it’s still quite easy to obtain these,” Ancestral God Yanfeng said. “This is also the most important treasure for us God Emperors of the Origin Continent.”
“As for natural treasures, secret techniques, and secret arts? These depend on luck.”
Ancestral God Yanfeng laughed. “Remember, don’t sell the remnants of Special Lifeforms lightly. If you really want to sell them, you can ask me. I can offer a sufficiently high price.” “Understood,” Luo Feng nodded and asked, “By the way, what kind of remnants are these remnants of Special Lifeforms?”
“The Dream Domain should be the corpse of a very special World-Level Chaos Lifeform. Countless Dream Domain spaces were formed with the corpse as their foundation,” Ancestral God Yanfeng said. “The Sky Pillar World should also be the corpse of a World-Level Chaos Lifeform.”
“The corpses of World-Level Chaos Lifeforms are incredibly vast. Disassembling even a little flesh, scales, or hair can yield hundreds of millions of remnants.”
Ancestral God Yanfeng said, “Senior Yuan concealed these remnants in the most core locations. If your strength is sufficient, you can hope to obtain them.”
“Within the Origin Continent, these two treasure lands are also the most important. The value of other treasure lands is much lower,” Ancestral God Yanfeng said. “By the way, the Infinite Space is quite special. It simultaneously connects to a large number of Origin Worlds.”
Luo Feng understood.
For other treasure lands, one would travel directly in person.
Only the Infinite Space allowed one to descend remotely with a wisp of consciousness upon obtaining an opportunity!
“Two corpses of World-Level Chaos Lifeforms were used for just one Origin Continent? It seems that Senior Yuan and the others have killed quite a few World-Level Chaos Lifeforms.” At this moment, Luo Feng realized that the higher-level battles must be very intense.
“Actually, our biggest crisis is the attack on the Origin Continent by native Chaos Lifeform tribes,” Ancestral God Yanfeng said. “If one day native Chaos Lifeform tribes attack the Origin Continent and devour it, then we’re finished.”
“Does this kind of thing happen often?” Luo Feng asked.
“Quite a few times.”
Ancestral God Yanfeng nodded. “We, the cultivator camp, are at a disadvantage in our struggle against the native Chaos Lifeform camp.”
“Even recently, an important world cluster called the ‘Begu World Cluster,’ which was specifically used to nurture God Emperors, completely lost contact and should have fallen,” Emperor Qing said. “The God Emperors nurtured by billions of worlds are all gone! Moreover, several Origin Worlds around the ‘Begu World Cluster’ are probably gone as well.”
Luo Feng listened in astonishment.
Were the battles between the two camps this fierce?
“Outside the Origin Continent, there is no shortage of opportunities and resources, but the environment is extremely harsh… This is because the situation for our entire cultivator camp is not good. We need more cultivators to break free from the cage,” Ancestral God Yanfeng said. “Only by breaking free from the cage can we participate in the war between the two camps.”
Ancestral God Yanfeng and Emperor Qing told Luo Feng many secret information, also intending to support each other on the path ahead.
“These are all far from us. Our most urgent task is to seize the resources before us,” Emperor Qing said, sending a piece of intelligence to Luo Feng. “This is intelligence about the dark zone of the Dream Domain and the depths of the Sky Pillar World. The dark zone of the Dream Domain is constantly changing, so the intelligence I’m giving you can only be used as a reference. The depths of the Sky Pillar World, however, have not changed, so you can take a closer look.”
“First, obtain the remnants of Special Lifeforms from these two places,” Emperor Qing said.
“Thanks,” Luo Feng felt the goodwill of these two.
The war between the two camps beyond the cage was too far away from him, and there was no need to think so much about it.
…
Thunder Mountain.
“The Ancestral God is furious and went to find that Galaxy Lord himself,” Lord Lan Duo thought in her cave dwelling. “Later, he went to the cosmic sea area to fight, but unfortunately, I couldn’t see that battle.”
Lord Lan Duo was quite excited.
With the Ancestral God personally intervening, perhaps the Galaxy Lord’s attitude would change, and he would no longer obstruct her from plundering living beings.
“I wonder what that battle was like.”
“With the Origin Continent’s power restrictions, the Galaxy Lord is definitely able to protect himself, but in front of the Ancestral God, he will definitely suffer a loss.” Lord Lan Duo had absolute faith in her own Ancestral God.
“Hmph!”
Suddenly, a cold snort echoed in Lord Lan Duo’s consciousness.
After that, terrifying thunder exploded in Lord Lan Duo’s soul. This terrifying thunder had the power to annihilate souls! This was the terrifying aspect of the Chaos bloodline path. Although they did not understand the soul path, they could excavate their bloodline talent.
When Luo Feng faced Ancestral God Thunder, he had been attacked simultaneously on the physical, soul, and mental levels. Of course, Luo Feng was able to withstand it easily.
But facing the terrifying thunder that had reached the power limit of the Origin Continent, capable of annihilating souls and destroying flesh… without the protection of Thunder Mountain, Lord Lan Duo was unable to withstand it.
“Ancestral God!!!” At the moment of death, Lord Lan Duo knew who had killed her.
She was unwilling, she didn’t believe it.
But in an instant, her consciousness had been annihilated.
“From now on, all those in the Origin Continent who commit the great sin of devouring billions of living beings will be executed,” Ancestral God Thunder’s voice echoed in the consciousness of every Lord in the Ancient Kingdom.
Bai Mo and Lan Duo had died one after another, coupled with the orders issued by Ancestral God Thunder and Ancestral God Yanfeng on the same day.
The entire Origin Continent naturally caused an uproar.
All forces understood that the order of the Origin Continent had changed, and from now on, there was a new rule! Including Emperors, Lords, and Ultimate Realm cultivators, no one could violate it.
