## Chapter 68: Marquis Liu Yin (End of Volume)
On the boundless Origin Continent, countless powers vied for dominance, and those capable of establishing divine kingdoms were truly extraordinary. Among these many kingdoms, some were strong, others weak. The Yu Kingdom and the Shi Kingdom could be considered second-rate, far superior to the Jin Kingdom established by Sit Mountain Guest, which was a truly marginal, insignificant nation.
Legends spoke of the Tianmu Kingdom, possessing the terrifying Realm Beasts, its strength far surpassing the likes of the Shi and Yu Kingdoms, earning it the title of a first-rate power.
However… the Ancient Yanfeng Kingdom and the Ancient Thunderclap Kingdom transcended all other kingdoms entirely.
“According to the information within the inheritance, the Yanfeng Kingdom’s most powerful force lies within the imperial family! Internal competition amongst the imperial family is extremely fierce, divided into thirteen branches, each with the right to compete for the throne. The lineage of Emperor Chu is one of these thirteen branches!” Luo Feng finally understood the grand origins of this Yanfeng Pavilion Master.
“I never expected to encounter Your Highness, Di Chuyu, in this marginal little city,” Luo Feng said politely.
“I am not worthy of being called ‘Your Highness’; I am merely an Eternal True God. You may call me Chuyu,” Di Chuyu said with a smile. While other members of the imperial family often flaunted their status, he disdained such displays.
In Di Chuyu’s view, insufficient strength rendered one a useless waste within the imperial family.
Why else would the imperial family encourage competition among the thirteen branches, if not to weed out the excess of useless individuals?
Di Chuyu typically concealed his identity when traveling abroad, for the name “Di Chuyu” would immediately alert anyone with a modicum of knowledge to his connection with the “Di Chu lineage.” He usually went by the name “Chuyu” alone.
“Brother Luo He, your ability to slay Xue Yun indicates that your divine body, realm, and willpower have reached a pinnacle. Within the Yu Kingdom, few can compare,” Di Chuyu said with a smile. “If you are able to comprehend the Chaos Laws and become a Chaos Dominator in the future, I can assist with an introduction. I cannot guarantee anything else, but becoming a guest elder of my Di Chu lineage would not be difficult.”
“An introduction to the Di Chu lineage of the Ancient Yanfeng Kingdom?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask. “Brother Chuyu thinks that highly of me?”
The more he learned, the more he realized the stringent requirements for the two great ancient kingdoms to recruit guest elders.
Even his master, Sit Mountain Guest, desiring to enter the core of either of the two great ancient kingdoms, would be ignored. To them, ordinary God Kings were utterly insignificant.
“Even if you become a Chaos Dominator through the Law path, my Di Chu lineage would typically not recruit you. However, I am willing to recruit you,” Di Chuyu said, looking at Luo Feng. “I do not care about the strength you possess, but rather the quality of your character.”
“I have observed you clearly during your twenty-odd cycles in Huyang City. You show compassion for the weak, harbor hatred for evil, and, for the sake of your friend Shang Tianyan, you relentlessly pursued Yu Tianhu, Yu Tianyi, and Xue Yun,” Di Chuyu said with a smile. “You are inherently loyal and value righteousness, and I naturally wish to befriend someone like you. In today’s Origin Continent, some powerful individuals possess great talent, but they are also selfish and ruthless, and might betray you at any moment.”
Luo Feng understood.
It turned out that his actions had earned the appreciation of this member of the Ancient Yanfeng Kingdom’s imperial family.
“Of course, the prerequisite for an introduction is that I myself must become a Chaos Dominator, only then will I be qualified to recommend guest elders. And you must be a Chaos Domainator of the Law path, which is already the lowest threshold for recruiting guest elders,” Di Chuyu said.
The deputy pavilion master beside him laughed, “Luo He, you must remember not to completely pledge allegiance to the Yu Kingdom, lest you be unable to leave later. The opportunities in a remote, small country like the Yu Kingdom are ultimately too few.”
“Even the Yu Kingdom’s ruler is merely a guest elder of my Ancient Yanfeng Kingdom,” Di Chuyu said. “Remote, small countries like that cannot access the true secrets of the Origin Continent, and top-tier resources are simply out of the question.”
“Even the ruler of the Shi Kingdom owes his prominence to his culinary skills, which pleased the higher echelons of the Ancient Yanfeng Kingdom,” the deputy pavilion master added.
Luo Feng was secretly astonished.
The Shi Kingdom’s ruler’s mastery of cuisine had pleased the higher echelons of the Ancient Yanfeng Kingdom? There was actually such a connection, unmentioned in all the intelligence he had gathered.
“Today, I am simply mentioning a few things in advance. Everything must wait until you and I both become Chaos Domainators of the Law path,” Di Chuyu said.
“Thank you, Brother Chuyu,” Luo Feng said, still grateful to the other party.
Soon, Luo Feng bid farewell and left.
“You are recruiting Luo He so early?” the deputy pavilion master asked with a smile.
“Once I become a Chaos Dominator and receive cultivation from the clan, it will be too late to recruit him,” Di Chuyu said. “While I am still relatively free, I should seek out a few suitable helpers.”
“It seems you are quite confident,” the deputy pavilion master said.
“I have completely comprehended the nine moves of the Chaos realm recorded in the secret manual. The nine moves complement each other, and I feel I am very close to the complete Chaos Laws,” Di Chuyu said.
The deputy pavilion master was overjoyed. “A Chaos Dominator with an Infinite Divine Body and of the Law path? Hahaha, once you succeed, the clan’s massive resources will be poured into you. I never expected that choosing to help you would be the right decision!”
There were many individuals on the Origin Continent who possessed an Infinite Divine Body and became Chaos Dominators of the Law path, but the two great ancient kingdoms paid them no heed.
But if such a genius emerged within the imperial family, it would be a different story, and they would naturally cultivate him with all their might!
“Second Uncle has helped me too much; I will keep it all in my heart,” Di Chuyu said.
…
Inside Cave Abode Chaos 甲 913.
Mo Yu Qingyan waited there alone.
“Yu Tianhu, Yu Tianyi, and even Xue Yun were all killed. Did my father say that it was very likely done by Master?” Mo Yu Qingyan thought, realizing that his master had not returned all night, and he felt it was very likely.
“The bounty for Xue Yun God Monarch is a full ten million Universe Sand. Within Huyang City, even the City Lord’s manor cannot do anything about it. Could Master really have killed him?”
Mo Yu Qingyan was lost in thought in the cave abode. Throughout the years he had followed his master, he had only found him to be unfathomable.
*Whoosh—*
The main gate of the cave abode suddenly opened, and a flying shuttle entered. Luo Feng and Moluo Sa exited the flying shuttle.
“Master,” Mo Yu Qingyan immediately greeted.
“There will be many guests visiting me next,” Luo Feng said. “Except for a very few important guests, refuse them all.”
“Yes, Master.” Mo Yu Qingyan had been following his master for so long that he knew which guests were important. Moreover, Master’s words made Mo Yu Qingyan realize that it was very likely that his own master had killed Xue Yun.
“Stop guessing; Yu Tianhu, Yu Tianyi, and Xue Yun were all killed by Master,” Moluo Sa said directly. “It won’t be long before the whole city knows about this.”
Luo Feng nodded.
He had killed several powerhouses from the Shi Kingdom without any mercy, and those Shi Kingdom experts should have transmitted news before their deaths.
Moreover, the City Lord’s manor knew that he had taken action.
With so many people knowing, the news would inevitably spread far and wide, making it impossible to keep it a secret for too long.
“Master is amazing,” Mo Yu Qingyan said, feeling honored.
“You should cultivate properly; you haven’t even mastered the Ten Basic Laws yet,” Moluo Sa urged. “I personally taught you, and you are really making me lose face.”
“I will definitely work hard,” Mo Yu Qingyan immediately said.
“Moluo Sa and I will enter seclusion first,” Luo Feng said, then took Moluo Sa to the underground hall.
Inside the underground hall.
First, he released the Star Tower, and Luo Feng and Moluo Sa both entered it.
“All your food is here,” Luo Feng placed all the corpses of Eternal True Gods into one of the Star Tower’s spatial layers. “You can slowly digest it yourself.”
“Thank you, Master! I have a premonition that my strength will increase significantly this time, and I might even become a Chaos Realm expert,” Moluo Sa said excitedly.
Among the many food items this time, the first was Yu Tianhu’s corpse. Yu Tianhu’s bloodline was extraordinary, and his divine body cultivation was comparable to an Infinite Divine Body. The help brought by devouring this divine body… surpassed ordinary divine bodies by far.
And Xue Yun’s corpse was even more attractive to Moluo Sa than Yu Tianhu’s.
This was indeed an unprecedented feast!
Moluo Sa immediately plunged into his exclusive spatial layer of the Star Tower and began to enjoy his meal.
“Moluo Sa’s strength is increasing rapidly; perhaps he will become a Chaos Realm expert before me,” Luo Feng thought. He couldn’t help it. Any normal cultivator had to accumulate slowly to comprehend the “Chaos Laws.”
Even Di Chuyu, a member of the Ancient Yanfeng Kingdom’s imperial family, was walking across the Origin Continent, painstakingly cultivating for long years.
Comparing cultivation speed with Moluo Sa was indeed asking for trouble.
“My willpower accumulation should be sufficient,” Luo Feng thought.
When he was still a True God, his mental willpower had already reached the peak of Chaos Dominator!
Later, he broke through from True God to Eternal True God in a short time! His divine body was much stronger, and so was his soul.
Although a weak soul could still possess strong willpower, the soul was, after all, the carrier of willpower! The weaker the soul, the more difficult it was to improve willpower.
“My current soul is much stronger than when I was a True God, and I have also cultivated the Great Destruction Heart Refining Method and the Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method from the *Lie Yuan Art*. For more than twenty cycles, I have felt myself slowly progressing, but there has been no qualitative change.”
Willpower, from the Chaos Realm to God King, was a fundamental transformation and was indeed very difficult.
“I have enough resources this time; I will buy some more treasures for willpower cultivation,” Luo Feng made up his mind. “The bounty this time, plus all the spoils of war, amount to nearly 30 million Universe Sand. And there is also what Brother Shang gave me, for a total of over 30 million Universe Sand. I must convert the resources into strength!”
So wealthy, he naturally had to speed up his own cultivation pace.
…
Shi Kingdom, Liu Yin Chaos Prefecture, inside a secret hall.
A figure in dark red armor sat there, his eyes were two clusters of burning crimson flames, and an aura of dark calamity spread out.
“Yu Tianhu, Yu Tianyi, and even Xue Yun are dead?” Marquis Liu Yin whispered. “This Luo He is friends with Shang Tianyan. As soon as Shang Tianyan died, he went on a killing spree?”
“His character of hating evil is difficult for me to use,” Marquis Liu Yin realized this.
He reached out and touched a crystal sphere in front of him.
This crystal sphere was a complete universe opened up by a God King, with an internal space of over a trillion light-years in diameter, where countless living beings lived, reproduced, cultivated, and practiced cultivation.
He liked this crystal sphere. The crystal sphere universe cultivated some subordinates for him, and has cultivated hundreds of Eternal True Gods so far, but these were all small matters.
What he liked most was… the taste of controlling the evolution of the entire universe, controlling the survival of countless living races; this was also a kind of willpower cultivation.
“There is a Luo He in Huyang City, and the original plan is not suitable,” Marquis Liu Yin thought. “Alright, let Xin Ying Sect take action, ceding a portion of Huyang City’s resources to them.”
