Within the profound depths of the Great Hunyuan Hall, a man with silver hair and silver eyebrows stood alongside a woman robed in fiery red, both reporting with utmost patience, awaiting instruction.

「Buzz.」

An ethereal fluctuation descended, coalescing into the form of an elder. It was none other than Senior Yuan, the very being who had met Luo Feng before.

「Lord!」 The silver-haired, silver-browed man and the fiery-robed woman bowed deeply, their reverence absolute. Though they themselves were High Hunyuan beings who had transcended the cage of existence, it was precisely this transcendence that allowed them to comprehend the chasm between themselves and the Lord.

「Hong Ge, Yi Fei Ya.」 Yuan smiled gently. 「So, the Dark Saint Realm has finally birthed an invincible one?」

「He is called Luo Feng, hailing from the source world ‘Origin Continent’. He arrived in the Dark Saint Realm but a thousand epochs ago.」 The silver-haired, silver-browed man reported.

The fiery-red robed woman added, 「His mind-will has not transcended the cage, nor has he transitioned to the Hunyuan bloodline system. Yet, his strength has already reached the invincible level.」

A wisp of Yuan’s consciousness had already descended upon the Dark Saint Realm. Nothing that transpired within could elude him; he was already privy to all information regarding Luo Feng.

「Luo Feng?」

Yuan’s gaze stretched across the void.

At this moment, Luo Feng was causing the vast fabric of the heavens and earth to tremble and collapse. The fifteen cultivators, including Secret Ruins God Emperor, knelt in supplication. The Eight Wolf Friends were filled with unease, while the trio of Bo Xiu served humbly by his side.

「The little fellow from the Origin Continent.」 Yuan naturally recognized Luo Feng.

Within his domain, for every ultimate realm cultivator born from a source world, he would bestow a glance.

「Another who has walked forth from a source world.」 Yuan gently shook his head. 「We have forged billions of worlds. Though their number far surpasses the source worlds, the ‘world origins’ of these myriad realms we built, when compared to the origin of a source world, possess too many imperfections! The life forms they nurture possess significantly lower cultivation potential.」

Billions of worlds boasted greater populations, even stronger bloodlines, and an abundance of God Emperors.

Yet, the further one delved into the higher echelons, the greater the proportion of experts hailing from source worlds.

Those who could reach the pinnacle and become ‘Hunyuan Lords’ were all born from source world origins!

「Lord, shall we guide this Luo Feng?」 The silver-haired, silver-browed man inquired.

「Not yet.」

Yuan gazed at Luo Feng. 「He is but a single step away from the ‘Half Hunyuan Birth and Destruction Dao’; he is now in the process of perfecting it. Do not disturb him at this time. Wait until he has thoroughly perfected the Half Hunyuan Birth and Destruction Dao, then I shall personally guide him.」

「He has already reached the invincible level. Cultivators in the Dark Saint Realm who attain the invincible level are customarily guided.」 The silver-haired, silver-browed man couldn’t help but interject. 「If we do not guide Luo Feng, it is likely to cause confusion among the many cultivators in the Dark Saint Realm.」

「Let them be confused.」 Yuan smiled faintly. 「What I truly seek to guide are cultivators on the verge of transcending the cage.」

「A mind-will that has transcended the cage, successful refinement of a World-class Hunyuan bloodline, or a Half Hunyuan level Fusion Dao cultivator – as long as one of these three conditions is met, I will guide them. Luo Feng has not yet satisfied any.」

「We understand.」 The fiery-red robed woman at his side said. 「If one’s mind-will can transcend the cage, it can resist higher mental pollution, and thus holds hope for thoroughly refining a ‘Higher Hunyuan bloodline’, becoming a Higher Hunyuan being.」

「If one can refine a World-class Hunyuan bloodline with proficiency, becoming a Higher Hunyuan being is also quite simple.」

「But this Luo Feng… his Birth and Destruction Dao has not yet reached the Half Hunyuan level, yet why does he possess such strength?」 The fiery-red robed woman, Fei Ya, was somewhat perplexed, and the silver-haired man also shared her confusion.

Yuan chuckled.

「The same Fusion Dao, yet the expression of strength differs.」 Yuan gazed remotely at Luo Feng. 「This Luo Feng’s Birth and Destruction Dao pursues extremes! It is too extreme, and though it makes the path arduous, the strength it grants is also exceedingly potent.」

「Pursues extremes?」 Ge and Yi Fei Ya nodded slightly.

「Fusion Dao should emphasize balance more! Once it pursues extremes, the difficulty will increase exponentially.」 Yuan watched Luo Feng with interest. 「I am most eager to see how far this Luo Feng will travel on his path.」

For the ultimate realm cultivators from source worlds, Yuan only bestowed a modicum of attention.

For ordinary invincible levels, Yuan merely valued them.

But for Half Hunyuan Fusion Dao cultivators, Yuan held immense anticipation.

「You two must always pay close attention to Luo Feng. Once he reaches the Half Hunyuan level, immediately inform me.」 Yuan instructed.

「Yes.」 Ge and Yi Fei Ya responded respectfully.

Yuan then vanished.

At this moment, the collapsed heaven and earth spacetime had returned to tranquility.

「We shall gather the compensation within one thousand epochs.」 The fifteen cultivators, including Secret Ruins God Emperor, spoke with sincere attitudes. Facing an invincible existence, they harbored no other thoughts, only wishing to dispel this invincible being’s hostility.

Luo Feng nodded.

「Let us go.」 Luo Feng immediately brought the three of Bo Xiu, Bai, and Chi onto the ship.

「We respectfully bid farewell to Luo Feng God Emperor.」 The Eight Wolf Friends were also extremely respectful, their hearts still filled with lingering fear.

Fortunately, Luo Feng God Emperor was wise enough not to vent his anger upon them.

A rift appeared in the fabric of reality; the distant ship instantly passed through the heaven-rift, disappearing at the edge of the heavens.

「Long-distance space shuttle?」 Bo Xiu, Bai, and Chi were astonished.

They could clearly perceive that the ship was shuttling through the heaven-rifts, each jump traversing an immense distance. It could truly be termed ‘long-distance space shuttle’.

Luo Feng glanced at them.

Previously, he had not hurried because he was quite interested in the group of Secret Ruins God Emperor! After all, being able to defeat their combined fifteen could serve as proof that he had reached the invincible level!

「From this battle, their combined fifteen were merely adequate.」 Luo Feng mused. 「Undoubtedly, I should be considered among the ‘invincible level’ acknowledged by the Dark Saint Realm.」

「Invincible level… legend has it that one will be guided.」

「Why has no one come to guide me?」

Luo Feng pondered.

He was not rushing on his journey; on one hand, to verify his own strength, and on the other, to display his power, hoping that perhaps he would be guided.

「Brother Luo Feng.」 The nearby Bo Xiu, though his emotions were surging, possessed a sharp mind and could discern some of Luo Feng’s current thoughts. He immediately said, 「You have openly displayed invincible strength this time. Believe me, it won’t be long before Senior Yuan and the others come to guide you.」

Bo Xiu continued, 「Senior Yuan and the others have pressing matters; they may also be delayed for a time. A delay of a few thousand epochs is normal.」

Luo Feng nodded.

「First, we go to the Great Hunyuan Hall.」

Luo Feng no longer restrained himself, controlling the ship and utilizing the heaven-rifts to accelerate towards Hunyuan City at an incredible speed.

In Cheng Feng City, some peak existences also dispatched their clones out of the city, wishing to witness this battle.

「Secret Ruins God Emperor and his group have returned; the Eight Wolf Friends have also returned.」

Through causal induction, they all confirmed that the fastest traveling Secret Ruins God Emperor and the Eight Wolf Friends had indeed returned.

「It seems the plundering has concluded.」

「I can sense that Bo Xiu and his companions are still alive, heading directly towards Hunyuan City.」

「Likely, Luo Feng God Emperor and his group couldn’t withstand the pressure, so they took the initiative to surrender, offering tens of billions of Hunyuan crystals. Secret Ruins God Emperor and his group then released them.」

These peak existences formulated their guesses.

From the outcome, it was evident that Luo Feng’s side, Secret Ruins God Emperor’s side, and the Eight Wolf Friends’ side – all three groups were alive and well.

They could only surmise that Luo Feng’s group had obediently lowered their heads and offered treasures to avoid being killed.

「What truly happened?」

City Lord Feng Qiao was also somewhat doubtful. 「Bo Xiu is skilled in calculations; that Luo Feng is also unfathomable. To plunder tens of billions of Hunyuan crystals from them, how could it be so easy? Yet, no one died on any of the three sides.」

「Brother Secret Ruins.」 City Lord Feng Qiao was also direct, sending a message directly to Secret Ruins God Emperor. 「I heard you plundered tens of billions of Hunyuan crystals from Luo Feng God Emperor?」

Within Cheng Feng City, in terms of individual status, City Lord Feng Qiao ranked first, with Secret Ruins God Emperor second.

「No!」

Secret Ruins God Emperor, on his way back, received the message and swiftly denied it. 「Luo Feng God Emperor’s strength is invincible throughout the entire Dark Saint Realm; how could we possibly plunder tens of billions of Hunyuan crystals from him?」

「What did you say?」 City Lord Feng Qiao was stunned and immediately asked, 「You say he is invincible in the Dark Saint Realm?」

「Yes, invincible.」 Secret Ruins God Emperor responded. 「Luo Feng God Emperor is truly an invincible level existence!」

City Lord Feng Qiao felt a sense of daze.

Once, there was an invincible existence in his Cheng Feng City, even residing there for a thousand epochs.

He had conducted several transactions with this invincible existence, and from these transactions, he had profited quite a bit.

「I earned resources from an invincible existence?」 City Lord Feng Qiao at this moment felt only regret.

A great opportunity had once been before him.

He had missed it!

「He came to the Dark Saint Realm for but a thousand epochs; even without going to the Great Hunyuan Hall, he is already at the invincible level. What kind of terrifying potential is this?」 City Lord Feng Qiao gritted his teeth. 「I must go! Even if I only listen to a bit of his guidance, it is worth it!」

He immediately decided to dispatch his main clone to rush to the Great Hunyuan Hall.

「I also need to quickly inform my senior brother of this news.」 City Lord Feng Qiao thought.

His senior brother was Dao Lord Long Jiu, who often resided in the Great Hunyuan Hall of Hunyuan City.

Hunyuan City, the foremost city of the Dark Saint Realm.

From a blurry heaven-rift, a ship suddenly materialized just outside Hunyuan City.

「We have arrived.」 Bo Xiu, Bai, and Chi gazed at the Hunyuan City directly before them; it was too fast! In just a blink, they had already reached Hunyuan City.

Luo Feng’s gaze had already settled upon the Great Hunyuan Hall within the city.

At this very moment—

The two Higher Hunyuan beings within the Great Hunyuan Hall were also observing Luo Feng.

「He has come.」 Ge and Yi Fei Ya watched.

「As the Lord said, Luo Feng is now but a single step away from the ‘Half Hunyuan Birth and Destruction Dao’, and has not encountered a bottleneck; he is continuously perfecting it.」 Shi Ge sighed. 「With his cultivation speed and potential, the final obstacles cannot possibly stop him.」

「Indeed, it will not take long; he will be above us.」 Yi Fei Ya also felt a touch of envy.

The three paths to the invincible level.

The first two paths both involved refining Hunyuan bloodline to ultimately become Higher Hunyuan beings.

The final path was different.

「Half Hunyuan Fusion Dao, under the cultivation of the Lord and others, can generally become ‘World-class Hunyuan beings’; then, mastering their home source world, they become Source World Lords.」 Shi Ge was also filled with envy.

World-class Hunyuan beings were extremely rare, even within the entire cultivator camp.

In terms of status and strength, they were far superior to the two of them.
