Volume Seven: Between Life and Death

"Boom--"

That's incredibly fierce!

Luo Feng tried his best to dodge, but was still grazed by the massive body of the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader. It was just a 'grab'! Luo Feng felt a terrifying power impact his entire body. His body had a thousand times the Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve, and was further enhanced by the 'Undying Heart', which caused his defensive ability to skyrocket.

The secret treasure 'Undying Heart' only increases power and other aspects by a few times. More powerful Half Primal Chaos level secret treasures can also reach this level. But its greatest strength lies in the word 'undying'.

Combining the mysteries of life and destruction, it naturally possesses extremely strong life-saving abilities.

"Boom." Luo Feng was grazed and sent flying backward. However, his body remained intact and he was not injured.

The fierce Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader turned its head slightly and kept its eyes fixed on Luo Feng. When it realized that Luo Feng had actually withstood its 'scratching', its eyes showed excitement.

Its hooves moved with lightning speed, stomping out with a sudden burst of speed!

The hoof contained Thunder, and when it stepped out at close range, Luo Feng didn't even have time to react before being trampled by one of the hooves.

The hooves were enormous! Luo Feng, on the other hand, looked too small.

"Bang!" The hooves stomped, more than ten times more ferocious than the previous 'scratching', the power was so terrifying that even Luo Feng was shocked. His 'Undying Blood Sea Body' could no longer withstand the physical form.

With this stomp, Luo Feng could only explode, turning into an endless sea of blood.

Only by transforming into a sea of blood can we minimize the amount of this terrifying force of trampling.

"Even with the blessing of the Undying Heart, I can't withstand the trampling of the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof." Luo Feng was shocked, but it was also within his expectations. This race is called the 'Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Race' because its trampling is its most terrifying move.

With its terrifyingly powerful physique, ranking among the best in its class, the trampling force of the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof reached an unbelievable level.

The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof of the God Emperor Late-Stage possesses a trampling power that can reach the threshold of God Emperor Completion Enlightenment Seeker.

What about God Emperor Completion? This trampling power would shatter even Undying Blood Sea Body, making it impossible to maintain its physical form.

With Luo Feng's strength, along with the Undying Heart and the Palm World, he should theoretically be able to easily survive even if he couldn't defeat Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform at the God Emperor Completion.

Alas...

We encountered the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader!

"It actually withstood one of my stomp attacks?" The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader was somewhat surprised. In Rain Ripple City, only three palace masters could fight it head-on. Ordinary elders dared not confront it directly and could only try to escape using various Secret Method.

The vast and Boundless Blood Sea of blood contains the 'Undying Heart' and is further enhanced by the 'Profound Azure Sky Extinction Diagram', making its defensive resilience extremely strong.

"With the sheer size and resilience of my Undying Blood Sea Body, how could a single stomp have resulted in the loss of two percent of its energy reserves?" Luo Feng was shocked.

"Whoosh."

While feeling alarmed, Luo Feng also made his move.

A furry claw suddenly emerged from the sea of blood without warning, and when it did, it was already below the abdomen of the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader.

"Crack!"

Luo Feng, drawing upon his understanding of birth and death, unleashed the full power of his Innate Treasure, the 'Palm World,' in a deadly attack! Luo Feng didn't use the world's power to suppress it, knowing it was futile. Instead, he harnessed the tearing and destructive force of the claw.

Its claws are incredibly sharp.

With the power of the 'Undying Blood Sea Body' enhanced and the secrets of the claw runes activated, this was the strongest attack Luo Feng could unleash! Luo Feng even believed that this attack might pose a significant threat to a Half Primal Chaos level expert.

This claw emerged from the sea of blood, too sudden and too fast. The massive Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader didn't even have time to dodge, or perhaps it simply didn't bother with dodging.

"Tear—"

Luo Feng felt his claws, five sharp, knife-like claws piercing into the pale white scales on the abdomen of the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader. The scales on its abdomen were layered, and judging from some corpse materials in the Nine Rivers Holy World, the entire body of the Abyss Wild Hoof clan was generally covered with hundreds of layers of scales.

"Swoosh." Luo Feng's claw, which he had used all his strength to strike, barely managed to pierce through two layers of scales.

"Its scales are hundreds of layers thick. I only managed to penetrate two layers with all my might?"

Luo Feng finally understood at this moment.

What does it mean to have a physical body that is among the best in the 'Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform group' who are born as Primal Chaos Lifeform?

"Um?"

The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader was somewhat surprised to be struck by this claw. There were some cracks on the surface of its scales. The invisible Thunder flowed, and the cracks in the scales naturally healed.

"Roar!!!" The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader suddenly roared.

That roar!

Like Thunder thunderclap, the sound impacted all directions, causing the Boundless Blood Sea to churn and tremble, and even some of the surface layers of the sea of blood were annihilated by the shock.

This roar further impacted Luo Feng's Mind Will. Of course, after Luo Feng's Mind Will reached the God Emperor Early-Stage in the Life-Death Path, it naturally rose to the 'God Emperor Completion' level as well.

Although it hadn't reached the limit before breaking free from its Cage, such a level of Mind Will, with the support of the Lie Yuan Art and the Undying Heart, was still able to withstand the impact of this roar.

"Bang bang bang".

As it roared, the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader began its charge, each hoof stomping fiercely on the Boundless Blood Sea.

Although the power of this stomp is not as great as the initial charged attack, the continuous stomp now has about 50-60% of the power of the previous one. However, it is a series of stompes.

"Rumble~~~" This whole world was shaking and shattering, and the phantom of the secret runes of the Nine Rivers Holy World's chains appeared.

Luo Feng's Boundless Blood Sea was rapidly depleting its energy under the continuous trampling of the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader.

In just a few breaths, 30% of it was consumed.

"Blood Sea World!"

Suddenly, the entire sea of blood erupted with power, its crimson color enveloping the heavens and earth.

At this moment, directions were indistinguishable, and this blood-red world was already evolving into the 'Mystic Azure Sky'. The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader was trapped inside the Mysterious Mystic Azure Sky and could not see the scene outside.

"Run!"

The moment Luo Feng used a portion of his Blood Sea to evolve into the Mystic Azure Sky and trap the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader, he immediately split into three clones without hesitation.

The three clones each used Secret Method, their speed soaring to the extreme as they fled in different directions.

"Snort!"

The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader suddenly let out a cold snort, and its body suddenly became enormous, almost half the size of Mystic Azure Sky! The two knife-like curved horns on its huge head swung.

Tear—

Everything was sliced apart by the two curved beams! Even Mystic Azure Sky was cut apart by this terrifying power.

The Mystic Azure Sky shattered.

The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader pierced through the void and locked onto the three fleeing clones in an instant.

"Escape?"

The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader was furious.

Rumble!!!

Three extremely powerful Thunder condensed between heaven and earth, each targeting one of Luo Feng's Thunder clones that had fled to a great distance! The Thunder struck the clones instantly, and two of them were unable to withstand it and were instantly annihilated.

Only one clone withstood the Thunder and escaped even faster.

"Whoosh." The only escaping clone suddenly steered the flying boat, making its escape even faster!

The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader opened his mouth and spewed out Thunder plasma. This Thunder raged in all directions, and the sea of blood that trapped him was completely annihilated under this Thunder.

This sea of blood contained roughly one-tenth of Luo Feng's energy reserves. Under the relentless, all-out attack of the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader, it was completely annihilated.

Under the Thunder, the sea of blood vanished.

"Leave behind a weak clone." The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader suddenly rushed out and quickly chased after the clone piloting the flying boat.

Luo Feng piloted the flying boat and quickly fled.

However, the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader locked onto his aura and pursued him from afar. The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader was too fast, transforming into Thunder, and caught up completely in just over ten breaths.

"There's no escape." Luo Feng piloted the flying boat, watching the scene unfold before him.

"Die."

The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader had already covered the area with one hoof.

"It's over." Luo Feng watched this scene helplessly.

At the place where the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader and Luo Feng had just started their battle, the chaotic world gradually returned to calm, and the energy between heaven and earth slowly subsided.

Suddenly--

The boundless energy between heaven and earth suddenly condensed and transformed, taking the form of a human man, Luo Feng.

Luo Feng, with the secret treasure Undying Heart, was able to enter the 'Between Life and Death' state.

The Undying Heart is the mystery that combines life and destruction, possessing an extremely strong ability to preserve life.

Those who are skilled in the Path of Life, even if bombarded into nothingness, will spiritually regenerate from the nothingness and regain a portion of their life force.

With his 'Undying Heart', Luo Feng, when attacked and reduced to nothingness, conveniently transformed even more of the sea of blood into nothingness, merging its energy into the world. He could maintain this state for a short time.

After a period of time, the organism will be restored to life.

The ability to maintain this state of 'neither birth nor death' is what Luo Feng calls 'Between Life and Death'. In this state, one's own energy truly dissipates into nothingness, with only the mind and consciousness merging with heaven and earth. This is the flaw!

If the enemy is strong enough to detect Luo Feng's mental state, they will not be deceived.

Luo Feng's mind, through the 'Undying Heart,' almost perfectly contained all life fluctuations, remaining neither born nor dying, and continuously maintained.

It lasted for ten breaths.

Afterwards, life forms are restored from nothingness.

"Finally, we've fooled that Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader." Luo Feng immediately released the Grand Void Dark Pupil Ship, and then piloted it, disappearing into the void in an instant at an incredible speed.

The speed of the Grand Void Dark Pupil Ship is much faster than that of the other clone piloting the Water Drop Flying Boat.

"Tear".

As the hoof completely shattered Luo Feng's clone, the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader looked at the only remaining Water Drop Flying Boat in front of him with a puzzled expression, gently turned it, and carefully examined the interior of the flying boat.

The interior of the flying boat was also empty, without a single treasure.

"Just a God Emperor Late-Stage flying boat, and no other treasures? Not even the corpses of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform?" The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader realized at this moment, "He still managed to escape!"

"These Xing Zhe are too cunning!"

The elders it encountered, none of them could withstand more than a few of its attacks in a head-on confrontation, but they all managed to escape using various strange and Secret Method.
