The Eighth Volume: A Strike of the Lie Yuan Art!

Although Luo Feng could see the figure of the Mind Woman through the Imitation Life-Death Eye between his brows, he couldn't recognize her. This was because the true form and the Mind Clone of the 'Master of Insect Nest' were different in appearance and aura.

"The Master of Insect Nest?" The Pavilion Master Chang Qing was only able to glimpse the figure of this Mind Woman through the Pill Pavilion Formation, and he was greatly shocked upon seeing her.

He had dealt with the Master of Insect Nest far too many times and had even seen the Master of Insect Nest's Mind Clone.

"Evergreen!"

The Mind Woman stood there, coldly looking at the Pavilion Master Chang Qing. A spiritual fluctuation came from her, "Just because this God Emperor Luo Feng joined your Pill Pavilion, you think you can ignore me? So you recklessly expand your business?"

"I'm not expanding recklessly, just competing normally," said the Pavilion Master Chang Qing. "I'm still offering the same prices, but I've started supplying normally. My prices for pills of the same level are already cheaper than your Insect Nest, so naturally, everyone in Rain Ripple City is willing to buy from me."

"Hmph."

The Mind Woman looked at the Pavilion Master Chang Qing and laughed, a carefree laugh, "In front of me, do you even have the right to compete normally?"

The Pavilion Master Chang Qing felt a tightness in his chest.

"It seems I haven't given you a good talking-to in a long time," the Mind Woman sighed. "I've been too kind!"

"Master of Insect Nest, we are both Xing Zhe from the Source World, and we both have avatars." The Pavilion Master Chang Qing said angrily, "You can't do anything to me, so why do you have to bully me like this?"

"I've bullied you every time I see you, so what?" The Mind Woman sneered, her gaze sweeping over Luo Feng not far away. "Is this the God Emperor Luo Feng? Are you sure you want to interfere in my affairs with the Pavilion Master Chang Qing?"

"You'd better think this through! If you get involved, you'll have to pay the price!" The Mind Woman looked at Luo Feng.

"I have already received the payment from the Lord," Luo Feng said. "Now that I am the Deputy Lord of the Pill Pavilion, I have no intention of making enemies of the Insect Nest, but no matter what, I must protect the Pill Pavilion."

"I see."

The Mind Woman nodded, her eyes suddenly turning pure black, her voice low and deep, "I'd like to see what kind of strength you have that dares to be so insolent in front of me!"

"Brother Luo Feng, be careful. This is her Mind Clone, specializing in mental corruption," the Pavilion Master Chang Qing transmitted telepathically.

"I know." Since Luo Feng had accepted the invitation from the Pavilion Master Chang Qing, he naturally already knew that he might have to face the Master of Insect Nest.

Information about the Master of Insect Nest is not a secret in Rain Ripple City.

Even when she was very weak, the Master of Insect Nest suffered severe spiritual corruption. After reaching the God Emperor Late-Stage in the 'Enlightenment Seeker One Lineage,' she was unable to achieve perfection, perhaps due to the excessive corruption. Therefore, she switched to cultivating the bloodline system, exhausting her accumulations in the Dark Holy World to exchange for a High-tier Primal Chaos Bloodline 'No Gap Cicada Tomb' bloodline.

This bloodline actually thrives on mental pollution. As long as it can maintain a sliver of clarity, the more terrifying the pollution, the stronger its own bloodline power can be unleashed.

Legend has it that...

If one's own Mind Will can break free from its Cage, and with enough mental pollution, one can even fully unleash the true power of the 'No Gap Cicada Tomb,' ultimately awakening one's bloodline and becoming High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform.

"She came as Mind Clone this time, so it's purely a mental technique," Luo Feng thought. "In the Dark Holy World, she tried every means to enhance her mental corruption. She has the 'No Gap Cicada Tomb' bloodline, so she can still maintain her sanity. But her corruption touches other Half Primal Chaos level experts... Even if the other experts can withstand it, it will take a long time and a great cost to gradually wash away their corruption."

Even among the veterans, many of them, despite having reached the Half Primal Chaos level of Mind Will, still feared the 'Master of Insect Nest'.

But Luo Feng was not afraid.

"Undying Heart inherently possesses the ability to resist the erosion of the mind. Furthermore, I have the Secret Method 'Lie Yuan Art' left behind by Senior Yuan. With these two methods at my disposal, how could I possibly fear her corruption? That would be a joke!" Luo Feng thought to himself.

"Luo Feng!"

The Mind Woman looked at Luo Feng and grinned.

Whoosh—

The Mind Woman appeared in front of Luo Feng and gently embraced Luo Feng!

This is the power of the mind, beyond the realm of speed! She saw Luo Feng, and in an instant, she embraced and entangled Luo Feng, her body revealing twisted and frenzied faces.

The moment Luo Feng was embraced by the Mind Woman, everything around him disappeared.

Now...

Luo Feng 'saw' an incredibly vast illusory Insect Nest right in front of him, which trapped one consciousness after another, and these consciousnesses were struggling. This illusory Insect Nest also began to corrupt Luo Feng.

"How many Xing Zhe have you killed? Not only did you kill them, but you also actively devoured their souls, making them a part of you?" Luo Feng immediately sensed the methods of the Master of Insect Nest the moment he was corrupted.

The Master of Insect Nest actively devoured countless souls, but instead of annihilating them, he integrated them into the Insect Nest, making them part of the hive. The 'consciousness' of these souls was also forever trapped within the Insect Nest.

The Master of Insect Nest appears to be a Xing Zhe, but in reality, he encompasses the consciousness of billions of living beings.

Only the consciousness of the Master of Insect Nest is the primary consciousness! Everything else is merely nourishment!

"How much pollution can I bear alone? So let them bear it with me and share the burden."

"This is the power of the collective. Hahaha... Luo Feng, you too can experience the pollution I went through in the No-Gap Nightmare!"

The voice of the Master of Insect Nest rang out, and contamination permeated the air.

This is why many elders avoid the Master of Insect Nest plague; this contamination is borne by the Master of Insect Nest along with billions of consciousnesses. If other elders are infected, it's even more painful than losing several clones.

"Huh? What's going on?"

The Master of Insect Nest was surprised.

She tried for several breaths, using every method she knew, but she couldn't find a single flaw or gap, and couldn't contaminate Luo Feng in the slightest.

"Master of Insect Nest, it's one thing for you to cultivate yourself, but to devour the souls of billions of Xing Zhe and subject them to eternal torment. Scum like you should have died long ago." Luo Feng's murderous intent was intense.

At this moment, Luo Feng only regretted that he was not strong enough!

The Master of Insect Nest, after all, comes from the Source World and has multiple avatars. Killing her will be extremely difficult.

"No wonder you dared to help Pavilion Master Chang Qing, it turns out you have a way to resist mental infiltration. This time I'm just Mind Clone to warn you, next time it will be my real body—" The Master of Insect Nest knew he couldn't do anything to Luo Feng.

"You dare to issue a warning?"

"You scum!"

"The Lie Yuan Art!"

Luo Feng showed no mercy.

Previously, his Mind Will had already reached the God Emperor Completion. Recently, while comprehending the 'Primal Chaos Bloodline' and seeing the most perfect answer, his Mind Will naturally increased slightly. Just a slight increase, and he touched the limit below the Cage!

Before breaking free from the Cage, Mind Will has reached its limit! This is a level of Mind Will that many elders and many Half Primal Chaos level experts possess.

However, very few people possess the secret techniques of will passed down by the Senior Yuan.

The two progenitors and Three Great Alien Races of the Origin Continent have always desired to obtain the Secret Method and arts left behind by their Senior Yuan, even if they might not be suitable for them. This is because these are Secret Method and arts that even the God Emperors could not create.

Luo Feng has been studying the "Lie Yuan Art" for too long, and recently, while studying the Primal Chaos Bloodline, he has glimpsed the core essence of breaking free from the Cage —perfect unity! The ultimate transformation is to perfectly unite all the mysteries.

Luo Feng's understanding of the Lie Yuan Art has deepened, and it has a subtle, natural charm.

"Destroy!"

Reaching the limits of Mind Will under the Cage! With current understanding, unleash the "Lie Yuan Art".

A small, slowly rolling star appeared in the Master of Insect Nest's 'vision'.

This star is much smaller and more ordinary than before. But it also represents a more refined Mind Will and a completely restrained aura.

"Boom--"

When the Master of Insect Nest's Mind Clone saw the small star rolling, it was already impossible to avoid it.

"Mind Secret Method?" The Master of Insect Nest's Mind Clone was not concerned at all. She had clashed with other powerful beings mentally too many times, so why would she be afraid of Luo Feng's mental attack?

"Boom!"

This small star instantly struck the Mind Clone of the Master of Insect Nest, causing the Mind Clone to instantly transform from a woman's appearance into a phantom Insect Nest, which was also its most stable form.

Yet this illusory Insect Nest was still torn apart, pierced, and crushed by the small stars.

"How is this possible?" The Master of Insect Nest couldn't believe it.

The Mind Star that Luo Feng unleashed was so small, so ordinary! Yet it was impossible to resist!

Only now did the Master of Insect Nest realize that this small star faintly possessed a 'naturally formed' charm, which was somewhat similar to the 'No Gap Cicada Tomb' bloodline charm that she had once exchanged for.

"He must have obtained the Secret Method left behind by Senior Jin others." The Master of Insect Nest was in great pain at this moment.

The illusory Insect Nest was pierced and crushed from within, instantly pulverizing hundreds of millions of fused souls. Only as these souls were crushed did they reveal smiles of relief. The once stable system of the illusory Insect Nest began to riot, and the various forms of suppressed corruption went berserk.

"Oh no, my Mind Clone damaged and can no longer suppress the pollution. I have to go back immediately."

Having taken this hit, the Master of Insect Nest's Mind Clone instantly streaked across the sky, rushing towards the hive.

"Luo Feng! I didn't expect you to have such a powerful mental Secret Method. I suffered a loss today, but I will definitely get my revenge next time!" The voice of the Mind Clone echoed around Luo Feng and the Pavilion Master Chang Qing.

She herself had already disappeared into the distance.

The Mind Clone, whether attacking or escaping, moves at a speed far exceeding that of the normal physical body.

Luo Feng only had time to use the Lie Yuan Art once; before he could use it a second time, his Mind Clone had already vanished without a trace.

"A pure Mind Clone, it's really fast at escaping," Luo Feng remarked.

The Pavilion Master Chang Qing stared at Luo Feng in astonishment.

"You defeated the Master of Insect Nest?" The Pavilion Master Chang Qing was somewhat incredulous. He had invited Luo Feng over, hoping that Luo Feng could hold his ground using the fixed array he had set up.

I never even imagined that I could defeat the Master of Insect Nest!

Who is the Master of Insect Nest? In Rain Ripple City, below the Three Hall Masters are the Master of Insect Nest, the Master of Strange Workshop, and Star Iris Elder, among others. Their strength is qualitatively different from that of ordinary elders.

Ordinary elders typically reach the God Emperor Late-Stage through one path. Those at the level of the Master of Insect Nest and the Master of Strange Workshop generally reach the God Emperor Late-Stage through two paths.

"What we defeated was merely her Mind Clone; it's not worth mentioning." Luo Feng, however, became even more solemn.

He knew very well that the true form of the Master of Insect Nest, carrying multiple secret treasures, represented its true power, far more terrifying than a mere Mind Clone.

"Damn Luo Feng."

Inside the massive Insect Nest, the Mind Clone had returned, and the Master of Insect Nest was in immense pain.

Luo Feng had no idea how much trouble his Lie Yuan Art strike had caused the Master of Insect Nest! This was far more troublesome than killing several of the Master of Insect Nest's clones.

"The pollution is out of control!"

"We must stabilize the situation, stabilize the situation!"

The Master of Insect Nest had no time for revenge or anything else.
