Chapter 405 : The Embryonic Form of the Primordial Blade Dao
Chapter 405: The Embryonic Form of the Primordial Blade Dao
The endless, boundless Blood Sea drifted in solitude. This vast and mysterious land now had only a single living being—Luo Feng! As for the Blood Crane Territory Clan that had submitted to him, they had all been dispatched to serve the Cultivator Faction.
Within the Blood Sea, an island had condensed. On that island, there were also some rare trees and plants.
Luo Feng sat there alone, drinking finely brewed wine. As a Lord, his need for “external objects” was extremely low. Some resources were specifically used for brewing wine and making fine delicacies.
“Three thousand eras have passed, and I’ve still encountered a bottleneck.” Luo Feng drank his wine and suddenly sensed something, gazing into the distance.
His gaze pierced through endless space-time, arriving at a place incomparably distant even from the Cultivator Territory. There existed a Source World there.
The lifeforms of that Source World cultivated without any inheritance guidance, relying entirely on their own exploration. It was countless times more difficult than Source Worlds within the Cultivator Territory. They were also frequently devoured by World-Level Primordial Lifeforms and even “Ancestors,” who consumed entire Source Worlds. There were also Naturally Born Primordial beings that preferred devouring the lifeforms within Source Worlds.
In such a harsh environment, that Source World had, at this moment, produced a being who had cultivated to the Ultimate Divine King level. Relying on a secret technique, he broke through the Membrane of the Source World and temporarily remained outside it, curiously observing the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.
“Is this… the outside of the world?” That being was filled with curiosity.
Within his home Source World, he was absolutely invincible. Because there was no complete cultivation system, aside from him, no other lifeform had managed to reach the Divine King level.
He was the pioneer of cultivation for that world!
“Beyond the Cultivator Territory lies a land filled with calamities. To summarize a cultivation system and reach the Ultimate Divine King level—you are indeed impressive.” A fluctuation appeared beside him. It was the Momang Lord. “Little one, come with me.”
The Momang Lord directly guided that young being away.
Luo Feng watched from afar.
Momang transformed into countless fluctuations, dispersing throughout the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space. Across the innumerable Source Worlds beyond the Cultivator Territory, whenever he encountered exceptionally talented individuals, he would bring them into the Cultivator Territory. The Star Light Lord observed the past, present, and future—once he discovered someone with talent, he too would guide them.
Guiding talented cultivators from beyond the Cultivator Territory was mainly handled by Momang and the Star Light Lord.
And this was all they could do. Even the Lords could not protect every Source World.
“Beyond the Cultivator Territory lies an even more vast expanse… The countless Source Worlds there, and the countless lifeforms within them, are the ones truly living in a nightmare world.” Luo Feng understood this clearly, yet he was powerless.
The Three Thousand Six Hundred World Clusters were merely a small region within the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.
Because the World Clusters here were dense and resources abundant, the Cultivator Faction devoted its full strength to protecting this region.
In reality, given the vastness of the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space… even though other regions had sparse World Clusters, their total number still far exceeded the Three Thousand Six Hundred World Clusters.
“Why is it that only the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction is at war with us, while other forces are less hostile? It’s because there is still a far vaster expanse, with a large number of World Clusters for those Naturally Born Primordial beings to devour.” A cold light flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes.
The operational rules of this Infinite Chaotic Origin Space were simply too cruel to cultivators!
He admitted that individual Lords were extremely powerful.
But among the countless lifeforms of innumerable Source Worlds, how many could transcend the cage?
Those who could not transcend the cage had absolutely no ability to resist Naturally Born Primordial beings! Even the Source World Origin itself would be devoured by World-Level Primordial Lifeforms or even Ancestors.
“Without the protection of Lords, those Source Worlds are devoured again and again. Even the pace of consumption has to be planned.” Luo Feng’s gaze passed through layers of space-time. If he wished to see, he could witness countless nightmare-like scenes.
Whether it was the Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction, the Ice Peak Faction, or other weaker forces—being born as Primordial, they all required vast resources, and Source Worlds were within their range of food.
Of course, food at the level of Source World Origin could only be consumed by World-Level Primordial Lifeforms or Ancestors.
“Within the Cultivator Territory, everything is peaceful. But outside?” Luo Feng could easily see World-Level Primordial Lifeforms devouring one Source World after another, exterminating all life within.
At every moment, countless lifeforms were being wiped out.
“And yet, there is nothing I can do.” Even as a Lord, what he could do was still limited.
The distances were too vast. Reaching many regions would take him hundreds of days or even longer.
If he only projected a distant thought, it would not be enough to contend against a World-Level Primordial Lifeform.
“With only eight Lords, protecting 3,600 World Clusters has already led to war.”
“If we attempted to protect all Source Worlds in the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space… then all external factions would likely unite.” Luo Feng understood this well. The Naturally Born Chaotic Origin Faction, the Ice Peak Faction, and numerous weaker factions would likely join forces!
Numerous undying and indestructible existences, along with an even greater number of Ancestors, would swiftly crush the entire Cultivator Faction.
“Still too weak!”
Luo Feng was confident, but among the eight Lords, he was not even certain of ranking third. Across the entire Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, he was not confident of ranking within the top ten.
“Primordial Blade Dao!”
Luo Feng frowned. “With my current comprehension, insight, and thinking speed, over three thousand eras, I’ve already comprehended ninety percent of the Primordial Blade Dao. It even has a clear framework and embryonic form… yet I’ve encountered a bottleneck.”
In truth, he was already far faster than Wu Lan, Jin, Minghuang, and the others.
Within three thousand eras, he had achieved it in one continuous effort—a clear structure and a complete embryonic form!
Yet he still encountered a bottleneck.
“My Primordial Blade Dao consists of approximately 87% destruction and 13% life, fused together.”
The small portion of the life system mainly included aspects such as “Life Aura Lock-On,” “Severing Vitality,” and “Life Entanglement.”
In terms of locking onto targets—
The destruction aspect already had “Killing Intent Lock-On.” When combined with “Life Aura Lock-On,” the ability to lock onto enemies naturally rose to an extremely high level.
Luo Feng’s Primordial Blade Dao was built upon “locking onto the enemy,” pursuing ever stronger methods of destruction!
“But for my Primordial Blade Dao to form a perfect whole, something is still missing.” Luo Feng felt troubled. “What’s lacking should be accumulation in the ‘destruction aspect.’”
He had originally believed his accumulation in destruction was already profound. After all, he had studied all high-rank primordial materials, World-Level primordial materials, and Ancestor-level materials accumulated by the Cultivator Faction.
He had also examined the inheritances of the other seven Lords. Jin’s inheritance focused on “destruction,” but Jin’s personality… made his path incompatible with Luo Feng’s. Luo Feng could only absorb part of it.
Previously, when he comprehended the Primordial Life-and-Death Path, his accumulation in destruction had been sufficient.
But now, with destruction as the core, it was no longer enough.
“The Void-Splitting Blade originates from the ‘Abyss of Destruction.’” Luo Feng flipped his hand and looked at the blade in it. “Across the entire Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, the place that contains the most ‘power of destruction’ is undoubtedly the Abyss of Destruction.”
The Abyss of Destruction—one of the highest-level mysterious lands!
Like the Eternal Land and the Wall of Fire Prison, it was recognized by all forces in the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space as a highest-level region. There was no hope of refining or controlling such places, and even their origins could not be found.
The Abyss of Destruction contained all known and unknown powers of destruction!
“The Abyss of Destruction is like a bottomless abyss.”
“From the outermost first layer of the destruction world, one can continue to delve deeper—second layer, third layer…”
“One must kill through all obstacles within a layer and imprint one’s life mark onto the ‘Source Phantom’ of that layer to become the master of that destruction world.” Luo Feng had long known the detailed information of the Abyss of Destruction.
In fact, almost every Ancestor in the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space had explored it.
Among these ancient existences, how were rankings like top ten, top twenty, or top thirty determined?
Primarily based on their performance within the Abyss of Destruction!
Up to now, the one who had reached the deepest layer was Shazhou of the Ice Peak Faction—she was the master of the twenty-seventh layer of the destruction world!
The Star Light Lord was the master of the twenty-sixth layer.
The reason he was one layer lower was because Shazhou had risen earlier and occupied the twenty-seventh layer first. With that advantage, the Star Light Lord could not break through her obstruction to refine it.
He had also attempted it but could not kill through the twenty-eighth layer. This showed that in terms of destruction capability, the Star Light Lord and Shazhou were nearly equal.
They were publicly recognized as the top two in the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space.
Slightly weaker than them was the master of the twenty-second layer, Demon Ruins. As for layers twenty-three to twenty-five, they remained unclaimed! This further demonstrated that the Star Light Lord and Shazhou were clearly stronger than the others.
From the twenty-second layer down to the first layer, all had masters! This allowed a rough judgment of strength.
Aside from the newly ascended Lord Luo Feng, the other seven Lords each had clones occupying a layer within the Abyss of Destruction.
Yuan was at the nineteenth layer.
Momang was at the thirteenth layer.
Jin was at the twelfth layer.
Minghuang was at the eleventh layer.
Naigu was at the ninth layer.
Wu Lan was at the seventh layer.
Because of their performance in the Abyss of Destruction, the Star Light Lord was recognized as top two in strength, Yuan was recognized as within the top ten, and the other Lords were all steadily within the top twenty.
However, this ranking had a flaw—it was not friendly to those skilled in survival. For example, the Initial Ancestor, who had the strongest defense, had mediocre killing ability and had not even secured the first layer. Wu Lan, as a Cultivator Lord, was slower and his techniques were somewhat clumsy, yet each move was extremely powerful, allowing him to claim the seventh layer.
However, all parties understood that in critical moments, those like Origin, Wu Lan, and Luo Feng—who excelled in defense and life—could play an even greater role.
The Abyss of Destruction only demonstrated killing capability.
“The Abyss of Destruction contains all known and unknown destructive powers.” Luo Feng stood within the Blood Crane Territory, dressed in black with a Blood-Colored Robe draped over him. “I’ll go to the Abyss of Destruction and continue enhancing my accumulation in the ‘destruction aspect.’ Hopefully, it will help me break through this bottleneck and fully grasp the Primordial Blade Dao!”
Carrying the Void-Splitting Blade, Luo Feng’s Main Battle Clone took a single step and left the Blood Crane Territory, heading toward the Abyss of Destruction.
