God Emperor Early-Stage, Life-Death Path
Rain Ripple City remained bustling even in the darkness. Luo Feng watched the Golden Armor Figure fly away, sensing the undisguised malice emanating from him. In the eyes of that Golden Armor Figure, 'Qiu Yi Ke,' Luo Feng's future was going to be miserable.
"They attempted to ambush me outside the city, failed, and now they want me, the victim, to pay compensation? The Strange Workshop is incredibly domineering." Luo Feng shook his head slightly. "As for Sky Crane Elder? I'd like to see what he can do to me!"
Luo Feng smiled slightly and continued to visit the next shop.
Meanwhile, inside Emperor Qing's cave abode.
Luo Feng's clone here has already immediately gathered his companions.
"What's wrong?" Emperor Lord Ming had been in seclusion cultivating recently and had lost his interest in hunting. However, he hadn't blocked Luo Feng Emperor Qing's messages even while in seclusion.
"Brother Luo Feng, what happened?" Di Fu is currently working at the Nine Ring World Tower in the city. Of course, he also has clones in his cave abode while cultivating the spatial path.
Emperor Qing, sitting to the side, had already guessed. "It's the Strange Workshop?"
"Um."
Luo Feng looked at his three companions and nodded, saying, "Just now, the Strange Workshop Vice-Master, Sky Crane Elder, sent his men to see me, asking me to compensate him with 50 million Primal Chaos Crystal, and to drop the matter of the robbery and counterattack. I refused immediately."
"Robbery and counter-attack?"
"You were robbed while you were out there?" Only then did Emperor Lord Ming and Di Fu realize that the two powerful figures they relied on had gotten into big trouble.
Emperor Qing explained from the side, "On our way back from the hunt, Brother Luo Feng and I were ambushed by the Strange Workshop team. That Strange Workshop team consisted of five powerful experts at the mid-stage of the God Emperor Mid-Stage Enlightenment Seeker. The five experts surrounded and attacked us... Brother Luo Feng killed one of them, named Ku Mo, and the other four, out of fear, fled."
"Two against five, and they managed to kill one? And it was a God Emperor Mid-Stage Enlightenment Seeker?" Emperor Lord Ming and Di Fu were shocked.
Di Fu is still working hard to become the 'God King Ultimate Realm'.
Emperor Lord Ming was only at the God Emperor Early-Stage level on the Primal Chaos Bloodline Path! He knew very well that the God Emperor Mid-Stage Enlightenment Seeker of enlightenment... corresponded to the God Emperor Late-Stage bloodline Xing Zhe! Bloodline Xing Zhe at this level were only one step away from the Half Primal Chaos level, and they would be killed in a counterattack against Luo Feng?
"The Strange Workshop is threatening me," Luo Feng said, looking at Emperor Lord Ming and Di Fu. "I'm not afraid of them, but you two need to be careful."
Emperor Qing nodded in agreement. "The Strange Workshop's retaliation will come soon. There are regulations in the city that prevent them from making a big show of it, so they can't do anything to me and Brother Luo Feng. But you two are too weak, so even some underhanded methods are enough to deal with you."
"I haven't gone out recently," Emperor Lord Ming said.
"I have many clones," Di Fu laughed. "The ones that go out are all very poor clones."
Luo Feng Emperor Qing then nodded.
"Rain Ripple City has strict laws and regulations. Although some elders are ruthless in secret, on the surface, the city is shrouded in layers of formations, so they cannot openly violate the laws." Emperor Qing looked at Luo Feng. "Even if they resort to underhanded tactics, they will only use covert methods. Covert methods cannot harm you or me."
Luo Feng agreed.
With his Blood Sea Undying Body, even if Sky Crane Elder were to openly make a move and the two sides were to fight, Sky Crane Elder would probably have to use some techniques to kill Luo Feng's Blood Sea Undying Body.
It is still safe inside the city.
"The Insect Nest, the Myriad Shadow Pavilion, and the Strange Workshop are all ruthless. Their retaliation will mainly take place outside the city," Emperor Qing said. "If we're not entirely confident, we shouldn't go hunting for now."
"Yes," Luo Feng agreed, "Let's take a good rest for a while."
Emperor Qing has only just reached the God Emperor Mid-Stage, and it's foreseeable that he will struggle to break through to the next level for a long time. He needs a long period of accumulation, and now that he has offended the Strange Workshop, he is unwilling to rush into taking risks.
Luo Feng has acquired a large amount of spoils this time, and he also wants to properly consume these treasures!
The Strange Workshop's retaliation came swiftly.
Just two days later, Di Fu lost his job at the Nine Ring World Tower and vanished without a trace on his way back from leaving the Nine Ring World Tower! The killer couldn't even figure out how he did it.
"The Strange Workshop really has no bottom line, attacking you like this?" Although Luo Feng Emperor Qing had expected it, they were still quite angry when it happened.
Organizations like Strange Workshop have absolutely no shame.
"I only had a menial job, nothing to brag about." Di Fu smiled. "I guess the Strange Workshop was just relaying a message to some mid-level manager in the Nine Ring World Tower. One sentence, and I'm done for."
After all, Di Fu's status was too low; he was at the very bottom of the Nine Ring World Tower.
"The sneak attack on you was based on causal means," Emperor Qing said from the side. "Fortunately, the entire Nine Rivers Holy World has a great suppression of causality, and the formation in my cave abode also has the effect of isolation. So it failed to harm your clone inside the cave abode."
"If my clone inside the cave abode dies too, I'll have to travel all the way from the Origin Continent to get here," Di Fu laughed. "I never imagined that someone as lowly as me from Rain Ripple City would be targeted by the Strange Workshop."
"You've been dragged into this because of me," Luo Feng said. "Di Fu, you lost your job because of me! I owe you. It won't be long before I give you a better job."
"Haha, then I've hit the jackpot!" Di Fu laughed. "I can also go into seclusion for a while to properly study what I've gained from the Nine Ring World Tower."
Luo Feng understood perfectly.
Although Di Fu seemed indifferent, he actually cherished his job at the Nine Ring World Tower. He and the other three had celebrated getting the job after a long and difficult process. Now that he had lost it, how could Di Fu not feel heartbroken and disappointed?
"The Strange Workshop, Sky Crane Elder!" Luo Feng's eyes turned cold.
As the official airship passed through Rain Ripple City, Luo Feng, using his Formless and Faceless, transformed his appearance and aura and boarded the official airship in a very low-key manner.
Afterwards, they were transported from the lake at the foot of the Holy Mountain through the Infinite Primal Chaos Space back to the Origin Continent.
Origin Continent, Huyang City, City Lord's Mansion.
"I'm back."
On the high floor of the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Feng looked at the enormous, hairy hand that was supporting the entire Huyang City. This enormous, hairy hand was none other than the Innate Treasure 'Palm World' that Luo Feng controlled.
"The Palm World is similar in value to the 'Undying Heart'," Luo Feng thought. "However, to truly unleash its power, it is more difficult than the Undying Heart."
The Undying Heart was a secret treasure that Luo Feng specially selected from the Infinite Space Treasure Trove, the one most suited to him. With the two paths of 'life' and 'destruction' at its core, it was naturally the easiest to wield.
The Innate Treasure 'Palm World' was originally, according to the judgment of the Yan Feng Ancestor, supposed to be a claw of High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform. It was nurtured for a long time within the body of a World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform form in the Dream Domain before it was formed into such an Innate Treasure.
It has very obvious life characteristics, like the Blood-Colored Scale of the Star Tower, which are mainly life-based but also contain a large number of other paths.
The same is true of this Innate Treasure, the 'Palm World'. Life is at its core, while it also contains numerous mysteries such as the world, destruction, space, matter, and the immeasurable. Therefore, it is naturally much more difficult for Luo Feng to unleash its power.
"Call."
Luo Feng took a step and immediately returned to the Inside the Star Tower.
One of the cultivation spaces on the Star Tower contains a large number of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform materials.
Luo Feng waved his hand, and materials with even stronger auras descended.
"There are 800 sets of materials from Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform forms with the strength of God Emperor Late-Stage. Each set is worth an average of 38,000 Primal Chaos Crystal. I have collected about 70% of the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform in the Nine Rivers Holy World that are suitable for me."
"The materials of the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform at the God Emperor Completion-Level totaled 80 portions, with each portion averaging several 390,000 Primal Chaos Crystal."
"I also purchased three sets of 'Overlimit-Level' Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform materials, which cost a total of 10.2 million Primal Chaos Crystal."
Luo Feng invested most of his wealth in materials.
Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform are divided into different races. Within the same race, the weaker ones might be at the God Emperor Early-Stage, while the stronger ones might be at the God Emperor Completion-Level.
Just like among Xing Zhe, there are some with extremely strong abilities, far surpassing those at the same level.
Among the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform at the 'God Emperor Completion Level', there are a very few who are extremely dazzling, whose strength far surpasses that of their peers. In the Nine Rivers Holy World, they are called 'Overlimit-Level'.
In a one-on-one fight, even the Three Hall Masters of Rain Ripple City generally cannot defeat them.
The so-called 'Overlimit-Level Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform' corpse materials in the Nine Rivers Holy World are generally transported from the Dark Holy World, where the intensity of fighting is much higher, making it relatively easier to obtain corpses of this level.
Even scraps of Overlimit-Level corpse materials are worth at least several million Primal Chaos Crystal each.
"Each of these Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform materials contains the mysteries of 'birth and death'." Luo Feng was quite pleased. "This harvest is much greater than before. Moreover, I also purchased quite a few rare treasures to aid in cultivation."
"This time, I must break through the Life-Death Path."
Luo Feng opened the Life-Death Eye between his brows and began to carefully study the newly acquired materials, thus beginning his cultivation.
At the God Emperor level, it's common for cultivators to go into seclusion for hundreds or even thousands of epochs at a time. Since Emperor Qing has decided to pursue a long period of seclusion, Luo Feng is also preparing for a similarly long period.
Unfortunately, Luo Feng purchased too many Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform materials this time, and many of them were systematic.
For example, within the same race, Luo Feng acquired all the God Emperor Early-Stage, middle, late, and perfect stages. By comparing and studying them, Luo Feng naturally gained more insights.
Luo Feng studied the materials one by one, not even finishing the first round! He had only studied about 70% of them, which took nearly two hundred epochs. The 'Life-Death Path' was slowly accumulating and naturally became complete, resulting in a qualitative change.
"Um?"
Sitting cross-legged inside the Inside the Star Tower, Luo Feng habitually comprehended, studied, analyzed, and integrated the 'God Emperor Early-Stage's Life-Death Path' in his mind.
Luo Feng was taken aback at first.
Then came a feeling of great joy.
The joy of enlightenment is what captivates Xing Zhe the most.
Many God Emperors were already invincible in their original home worlds, able to enjoy everything they could, yet they still risked death to travel to the Nine Rivers Holy World to continue their struggle and adventure. They wanted to pursue a higher level of the Dao and see more of the world.
"Nine hundred years have passed since I went to Rain Ripple City! The Life-Death Path has finally advanced from the God King Ultimate Realm to the God Emperor Early-Stage." Luo Feng murmured with a smile.
