Science Fiction

Luo Feng’s Half-Chaos Origin Life-Death Dao pursues an ultimately vast body, making the mind-consciousness system an indispensable part of this Dao.

It can also be seen from Chaos Origin bloodlines that even lower-level Chaos Origin life forms, naturally born with Chaos Origin bloodlines, lack a complete mind-consciousness system.

Among higher-level Chaos Origin life forms, this system only appears in those with extremely large physiques. This system is incredibly complex, more difficult to comprehend than even a high-level Chaos Origin bloodline. With Luo Feng’s comprehension abilities and the aid of miraculous treasures, it took him over five thousand epochs to create a mind-consciousness system tailored to himself. It’s worth noting that Luo Feng had only cultivated for a total of just over two thousand epochs in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm.

“My mind-consciousness system has reached a stage where my spiritual will has broken free from its cage!”

However, the mind-consciousness system has even greater potential. To control an even vaster world-level Chaos Origin physical body or a Lord-level body, the demands on the mind-consciousness system will only increase. Luo Feng understood this.

Within the confines of the cage, this mind-consciousness system was almost perfect, but outside the cage, it was still very nascent. With a single thought, he could perfectly control every ounce of power in his enormous body, and his vitality became even more terrifying. Any annihilated power swiftly recovered; minor injuries healed completely in the blink of an eye, returning him to a state of twelve times his energy reserve, which was his physical body’s perfected state.

“My control over my body has reached an incredible level!” Luo Feng realized that as long as his physical body’s depletion did not exceed twenty percent, he could recover within a few breaths. Luo Feng himself was astonished that a Life-Death Dao body, based on life itself, combined with the mind-consciousness system, possessed such terrifying vitality.

“My path is correct. To defeat an enemy, I must first be indestructible. If the enemy cannot harm me, I can unleash the full power of my vast body without reservation.” Even after witnessing the highest level of destructive profoundness contained within the Space-Rending Blade, Luo Feng remained unshaken. No matter how formidable destruction was, its ultimate purpose was to ensure the safety of life. Life undoubtedly took precedence over destruction.

The Lava Prisoner hovered in the air, faint golden flames burning on the surface of the blood sea, yet its gaze was directed downwards.

Its expression subtly changed, revealing a hint of surprise.

“How is this possible?” The Lava Prisoner could feel its power’s contamination instantly cleared. This was the power of spiritual will, a force that had also broken free from the cage!

Boom! The once vast and boundless sea of blood instantly converged, transforming into a black-clad, black-haired man.

Previously, Luo Feng had fought his enemies using the Blood Sea Array. The terrifying aspect was that while he possessed twelve billion times his energy reserve, he couldn’t unleash most of it without the array’s assistance to maximize its power.

But now… he could perfectly control every life unit, with all power directed by his mental force. Arrays were no longer necessary.

His mind-consciousness system was the most perfect array, allowing him to perfectly control every ounce of power!

“Chaos Origin Prisoner, I should thank you for helping me take this step.” Luo Feng looked at him.

“Take this step?” The Lava Prisoner sneered, looking at Luo Feng. “No matter how much you break through, you still haven’t broken free from the cage. You still have no means of resistance!”

“Is that so?” Luo Feng extended his hand, and a pill furnace appeared in it. Luo Feng gripped the furnace. This pill furnace could refine enemies or be used to bludgeon them; secondly, it inherently contained profound mysteries. Luo Feng felt that the pill furnace was the most suitable weapon for his physical body to wield at this moment.

“A joke!” The Lava Prisoner utterly disdained it. Even grasping a trace of high-level Chaos Origin power constituted a qualitative difference.

The Lava Prisoner instantly transformed into golden flames and shot straight towards Luo Feng!

“Perish!”

Luo Feng, holding the pill furnace, slammed it violently towards the Lava Prisoner’s body, which contained twelve billion times his energy reserve. At this moment, all his power perfectly converged, and the profound patterns of the pill furnace activated. As Luo Feng brought the furnace down, heaven and earth, along with space and time, were torn and twisted! It was as if creation itself were unfolding; the immensely massive pill furnace crashed down upon the Lava Prisoner!

Boom!

The Lava Prisoner disdained dodging, instead meeting the blow head-on with its eight arms slashing furiously!

Under this terrifying impact, the Lava Prisoner’s expression changed. It felt the power of the pill furnace’s furious strike surprisingly suppressing it. The furnace crushed its eight arms and then smashed directly onto its head. It was important to remember that during their last head-on clash, Luo Feng’s palm had been annihilated and his arm broken, giving the Lava Prisoner a significant advantage! But now, the situation was completely reversed, with Luo Feng holding a massive advantage. With this single smash, the Lava Prisoner crashed heavily to the ground, causing the earth to violently shake, rippling like water across an infinitely vast area. The more than a thousand cultivators watching from afar quickly retreated in fear!

“His strength has probably increased dramatically; his power feels tens of times greater!” The Lava Prisoner, embedded in a deep crater in the earth, still couldn’t believe how a being within the cage could become this powerful.

Compared to before, Luo Feng’s controlled energy reserve had increased by roughly tenfold. Concurrently, with the complete mastery of the Life-Death Dao and his spiritual will breaking free from the cage, the power unleashed by the pill furnace’s profound patterns also surged. In terms of overall power alone, it had indeed increased by tens of times!

The Lava Prisoner could wield high-level Chaos Origin power, but only a mere trace of it.

Luo Feng’s current state completely suppressed the Lava Prisoner. With a single step, Luo Feng passed through a rift in space and appeared before the Lava Prisoner, bringing the raised pill furnace down once more!

Boom, boom… A continuous, thunderous barrage of furious slams followed. Each strike was like the creation of heaven and earth. The cultivators watching from afar only saw flashes of light as the earth rippled repeatedly. At the center of the combat, only Luo Feng’s furious striking figure was visible; the Lava Prisoner had disappeared from view! “This is…!” Dao Lord Long Jiu and God Emperor Ji Ke, piloting a flying vessel capable of short-distance spatial travel to maximize their speed, finally arrived at the battlefield!

Upon their arrival, they witnessed Luo Feng furiously swinging the pill furnace, smashing the Lava Prisoner!

“What power!” Dao Lord Long Jiu and God Emperor Ji Ke watched Luo Feng’s every strike, which caused the surrounding heaven, earth, space, and time to completely twist and shatter. The boundless earth quaked and rolled repeatedly, making their expressions change with alarm.

This was the Dark Sacred Realm, a realm where space and time were incredibly stable. Yet, before Luo Feng’s current power, even heaven and earth seemed fragile!

“Has God Emperor Luo Feng become a high-level Chaos Origin life form?” God Emperor Ji Ke couldn’t help but ask.

“It feels like if he touched me, I’d be gone.”

“I don’t know!” Dao Lord Long Jiu also looked somewhat bewildered.

The silver-haired, silver-browed man and the crimson-robed woman watching from the sky were also stunned by the scene before them.

“The Chaos Origin Prisoner can’t resist at all; it’s going to be beaten to death!”

The crimson-robed woman murmured, “A being from within the cage is about to kill a Chaos Origin Prisoner who can wield a trace of high-level Chaos Origin power!” The silver-haired man’s heart trembled slightly as he exclaimed, “If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it.”

The crimson-robed woman nodded. “Although, normally, a high-level Chaos Origin life form wouldn’t possess only a mere trace of high-level Chaos Origin power, what Luo Feng is doing right now is truly unprecedented!”

Neither of them had ever heard of a cultivator within the cage being this powerful! “Oh, the Lava Prisoner is dead!”

“Yes,” Ge Qiu said. “Luo Feng didn’t hold back.”

Yi Fei’ya smiled. “Let’s go, we should meet Dao Friend Luo Feng.”

Luo Feng swung the pill furnace, smashing it hundreds of times, pulverizing the Lava Prisoner, a massive, unyielding stone, until its core appeared and was then completely shattered. Only then did Luo Feng finally stop.

“What exhilaration!”

Luo Feng felt thoroughly satisfied. He had no intention of capturing the Chaos Origin Prisoner alive. After all, he could easily obtain and comprehend a high-level Chaos Origin bloodline that suited him. Such prisoners were better off being sent on their way. Luo Feng had no mercy for his enemies, or for the naturally born Chaos Origin life forms faction. He had no desire to torment them; simply killing them was enough.

It was unclear if this scene completely terrified the over thousand cultivators in the distance, as well as the newly arrived Dao Lord Long Jiu and God Emperor Ji Ke!

Luo Feng looked up, scanned his surroundings, and after seeing Dao Lord Long Jiu and God Emperor Ji Ke, he smiled and nodded.

“Brother Luo Feng!” both Dao Lord Long Jiu and God Emperor Ji Ke exclaimed.

Although they weren’t entirely clear about Luo Feng’s current state, there was no doubt he had achieved a breakthrough; otherwise, he wouldn’t be absurdly strong!

Before Luo Feng could speak to Dao Lord Long Jiu and the others, he felt the surrounding scene change! At the same time, two figures descended from the sky: a silver-haired, silver-browed man and a crimson-robed woman. Their auras were immensely vast. If the Lava Prisoner possessed only a trace of high-level Chaos Origin power, then the high-level Chaos Origin power contained within these two individuals was boundless and endless!

“Two high-level Chaos Origin life forms,” Luo Feng thought with a hidden shock.

“I am Ge Qiu.”

“I am Yi Fei’ya.” The silver-haired, silver-browed man and the crimson-robed woman both smiled and introduced themselves after landing.

“We are the guardians of the Dark Sacred Realm!” the silver-haired man explained with a smile.

“Luo Feng greets the two guardians,” Luo Feng also bowed.

The crimson-robed woman chuckled, “We have been observing Dao Friend Luo Feng for a long time. Today, you have finally achieved a breakthrough and attained the Half-Chaos Origin Life-Death Dao!”

“Congratulations, Dao Friend Luo Feng!” the silver-haired man added.

Luo Feng was a little surprised. “Do the two guardians know that I cultivate the Life-Death Dao?”

The silver-haired man nodded. “When you fought against God Emperor Mixu and the others last time, Yi Fei’ya and I reported to the Lord. The Lord even descended upon the Dark Sacred Realm to observe you carefully, Dao Friend Luo Feng!”

“It was just that your Life-Death Dao was still lacking back then, which is why you weren’t guided,” Luo Feng understood.

He had once wondered why he hadn’t been guided, despite seemingly possessing invincible strength. It turned out the Lord had indeed descended once, but he hadn’t met the conditions for guidance at that time!

“The Lord you both mentioned…” Luo Feng inquired.

“Our Dark World Cluster was the territory of the earliest Lord, Senior Jin Jian. This Dark Sacred Realm itself was created by Senior Jin,” Ge Qiu actively stated, no longer holding back. “Later, new Lords were born, and our cultivators’ territories were re-divided. This place then became Senior Yuan’s territory. Each time a new Lord is born, the territories are re-divided!” Yi Fei’ya added.

“We have already reported your breakthrough to Senior Yuan. We believe it won’t be long before Senior Yuan comes to guide you away!”

“Let’s go, let’s wait at the Chaos Origin Palace. Senior Yuan usually descends there!” Ge Qiu said.

Luo Feng nodded and immediately waved his hand, collecting the Lava Prisoner’s corpse.

The silver-haired man and the crimson-robed woman watched this scene with mixed feelings. They had a premonition that Dao Friend Luo Feng was not only terrifyingly powerful but also truly extraordinary!

Being so strong within the cage, he would undoubtedly be incredibly powerful after breaking free from it.

The two immediately brought Luo Feng with them, crossing vast distances and traversing space in a single thought, returning to the large Chaos Origin Palace. There, they treated Luo Feng to fine food and wine. Ge Qiu and Yi Fei’ya, the two guardians, adopted a very humble stance, treating Luo Feng as an equal.

“Ever since Dao Friend Luo Feng arrived in the Dark Sacred Realm, we have been observing you!” Ge Qiu chuckled. “After discovering your incredibly profound accumulation, we specifically chose a Chaos Origin Prisoner and released it to assist Dao Friend Luo Feng.”

“So, it was the two guardians who helped me!” Luo Feng said, surprised and grateful. “If not for you two, I don’t know how much longer my breakthrough would have been delayed!”

Yi Fei’ya also smiled. “With Dao Friend Luo Feng’s comprehension and potential, even without our help, it wouldn’t have been delayed for long!”

Ge Qiu nodded as well. “Dao Friend Luo Feng’s comprehension and potential far surpass ours; his future prospects are also far beyond ours!”

Luo Feng said, “Now that I’ve reached the Half-Chaos Origin Life-Death Dao, I’m unsure of the path I should take next!”

“Our abilities can’t guide you!” Ge Qiu chuckled. “You just need to wait patiently. When the Lord guides you, he will naturally show you the best path.”

Although they had heard that most top cultivators who merge typically refine world-level Chaos Origin bloodlines to become world-level Chaos Origin life forms, they dared not advise Luo Feng. This was because they also knew that refining Chaos Origin bloodlines inevitably led to future complications. Those who could still become world-level Chaos Origin life forms without refining bloodlines possessed even greater potential.

Ge Qiu and Yi Fei’ya sensed something. Luo Feng also felt an invisible ripple, similar to the vibrations of a primal world’s core operation. A random descent then solidified into an elder.

“Senior Yuan!”

Luo Feng recognized him at a glance; this was his second time seeing Senior Yuan. He immediately rose and bowed.

“Lord!” Ge Qiu and Yi Fei’ya were even more respectful.

After the elder’s majestic arrival, he looked at Luo Feng and revealed an approving smile.

“Well done!”
