Volume Nine: Blade
The silver-haired woman and Luo Feng walked deep into the Large Primal Chaos Hall, and time and space changed wherever they went.
"Hmm?" Luo Feng saw a fierce, fiery figure in a spatial Cage in the distance. Its fur was covered in flames, and its breath carried the Primal Chaos Force. It was climbing angrily and looking at Luo Feng from afar.
Just being stared at by it made Luo Feng inexplicably tremble.
"The gap is huge."
"The breath it exhales can turn me to ashes. One swipe of its claw could annihilate even thousands upon thousands of me."
Luo Feng was certain at that moment.
With a power reserve twelve billion times greater than his own, he should be about one or two tenths the size of this World-Destroying Demon God! However, in terms of 'quality,' the difference is too great. This means that no matter how many of him he possesses, he would be utterly powerless against a truly High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform!
"Breaking free from the Cage is the only qualitative change," Luo Feng thought to himself.
He now has the confidence to break free from his Cage by utilizing three High-tier Primal Chaos Bloodline!
But Luo Feng was not in a hurry to choose.
He now needs to Life-Death Path first, so that he can be guided by Senior Yuan. At that time, he should be able to find the most suitable way to break free from the Cage!
"These are High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform," the silver-haired woman said from the side. "In the Infinite Primal Chaos Space, there are countless Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform with weak strength. Only High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform are given some attention and can play a role in faction wars."
Luo Feng understood.
Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform are completely useless in faction wars.
"World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform are already powerful beings who conquer all sides. In conventional conflicts, only World-tier Primal Chaos Lifeforms are usually involved," the silver-haired woman said.
Luo Feng knew this too.
High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform, World-tier Primal Chaos Powerhouse, and Primal Chaos Lord. These are the three major levels of Xing Zhe after breaking free from their Cage, with vastly different levels between them.
"Once the lords join the war," the silver-haired woman said coldly, "That means war has begun! And right now, we are in the midst of war."
Luo Feng listened.
"In faction wars, we will suffer heavy losses, with some entire world clusters even falling, and countless Source World becoming food for Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform forms," the silver-haired woman said indifferently. "But the Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform Faction will also suffer heavy losses. The number of the lowest-level 'High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform' who participated in the war is in the hundreds of millions. We have also killed quite a few World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform. The seven World-tier Primal Chaos Corpses placed in the Large Primal Chaos Hall in the Dark Holy World were just killed in a war tens of thousands of years ago."
Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.
The corpses of seven World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform, who died tens of thousands of years ago?
"Even the Primal Chaos Progenitor was killed." The silver-haired woman looked at Luo Feng. "This war is different from the past. The Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform Faction doesn't care about casualties and will attack at all costs. Cultivator Faction can do is fight back!"
"Is the situation dire?" Luo Feng asked.
"It's terrible."
The silver-haired woman looked at Luo Feng and said, "Xing Zhe Luo Feng, Xing Zhe of the Fusion Path, you will know more when you are guided!"
"You know I cultivate the Fusion Path?" Luo Feng looked at the other party.
"Of course I know."
The silver-haired woman looked at Luo Feng and said, "Every puppet life within the Large Primal Chaos Hall is a part of me. As the guardian of the Dark Holy World, nothing can be hidden from me."
"You have great potential and will be an important force in our Cultivator Faction in the future," the silver-haired woman said. "However, you are still too weak right now."
She led Luo Feng forward.
Looking around at the spatial Cage, each one Cage a High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform, Luo Feng Luo Feng felt an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.
However, these terrifying beings are merely the lowest-ranking soldiers on the battlefield.
"If breaking free from the Cage only results in becoming a high-level Chaos Origin cultivator, it truly has no value to the entire cultivation community." Luo Feng thought to himself that he needed to become stronger.
As he progressed, he encountered more and more High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform prisoners. Facing the gaze of hundreds of these High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform simultaneously was a test of his Mind Will. Yet, Luo Feng calmly completed the entire journey.
No matter what, they are just a group of prisoners and cannot harm themselves in the slightest.
"After you've finished reading, what else would you like to see, Primal Chaos Prisoner?" the silver-haired woman asked.
"Let's take a look at the corpses of the Primal Chaos Lifeform," Luo Feng said.
The silver-haired woman nodded.
As time and space shifted, after only a short while, the corpses of High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform appeared in front of Luo Feng.
"During the war, there were too many corpses of High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform, and they were all freely exchanged by Xing Zhe," the silver-haired woman said. "One trillion Primal Chaos Crystal are all it takes to exchange for a High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform corpse. Many Xing Zhe even team up to exchange for a single corpse."
Luo Feng knew about this.
One trillion Primal Chaos Crystal for the corpse of a High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform form seems expensive. However, in reality, dozens or even hundreds of Xing Zhe afford to buy a corpse together. Moreover, after studying it, the materials from the corpse could still recoup most of the cost, so the price wasn't that high.
"There are too many corpses."
Looking at the massive corpses that resembled a continuous mountain range, Luo Feng felt a sense of oppression as each corpse retained intense resentment, despair, and anger. The combined resentment of the numerous corpses made Luo Feng feel suffocated.
After a long while, he finished looking at all the High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform corpses displayed in the Large Primal Chaos Hall.
"This is--"
Luo Feng saw it.
Seven enormous corpses, even larger than the landmass of the Origin Continent.
Compared to them, those High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform are not worth mentioning.
The smallest of them is five-thousandths of the volume of the entire Source World on the Origin Continent, while the largest is two-hundredths of the volume of the entire Source World on the Origin Continent!
"It's huge." Luo Feng looked up in shock. "The hidden space Large Primal Chaos Hall is so large that it can easily hold seven enormous corpses."
Facing these seven World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform forms, Luo Feng truly felt as if he were facing the Source World itself.
The sense of oppression was too strong.
At that level, a single glance would be enough to turn one to ashes.
And in the battle between factions, they still died!
"Even tens of thousands of High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform cannot withstand a single move from World-tier Primal Chaos," the silver-haired woman said. "The gap between major levels is enormous."
Luo Feng nodded; he could tell.
"Even the Primal Chaos Progenitor has fallen on the battlefield. Only the lords of our Cultivator Faction have never died in battle," the silver-haired woman said confidently. "The war Two Great Camps has lasted for countless years, and we are currently at a significant disadvantage. But I believe that in the end, we Xing Zhe will win the war. Because our lords are immortal."
Luo Feng knew that some of the Primal Chaos Progenitor had indeed died in battle, and the Blood Scale on his Star Tower originated from one of the Primal Chaos Progenitor.
"The lords are immortal, but we are still at an absolute disadvantage?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask. Even his own people admitted that they were at an absolute disadvantage, so how much of a disadvantage were they?
The silver-haired woman paused slightly, then sighed softly.
"You'll understand once you're guided," the silver-haired woman said without further explanation.
The only thing the Cultivator Faction can boast about is that their lords are immortal! This makes the Xing Zhe still believe they can ultimately win and still willing to fight on at all costs.
At this moment, Luo Feng knew that the Cultivator Faction was at a disadvantage, but he was not very clear about the true situation in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space.
Afterwards, Luo Feng viewed all sorts of rare treasures, examining every single one that was stored in the Large Primal Chaos Hall.
"You've seen all the rare treasures," the silver-haired woman said, looking at Luo Feng. "Is there anything you'd like to exchange?"
"A treasure worth over ten million Merit Points isn't stored here?" Luo Feng asked.
The exchange price for the secret treasure ranges from Merit Points to 50 million Merit Points merits.
"Yes, the Large Primal Chaos Hall mainly store treasures worth less than ten million Merit Points," the silver-haired woman said. "As for treasures worth more than ten million Merit Points, any one of them could be worth as much as a World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform's corpse. So they are all specially stored away and are not in the Dark Holy World."
Luo Feng understood.
He discovered it too.
A treasure worth over ten million Merit Points is equivalent to a treasure worth over one hundred thousand Reward Points in the Infinite Space, no less valuable than the Life-Death Eye. It might even be better, or more precious!
"Each Xing Zhe is limited to purchasing one secret treasure with more than ten million Merit Points, and trading is prohibited." Luo Feng sighed inwardly.
Infinite Space Reward Points can be redeemed, with no purchase limit. However, the acquisition of Reward Points is limited.
"You can study it carefully."
The silver-haired woman smiled slightly and then left.
Luo Feng returned to his cave abode, cave abode was located within the Large Primal Chaos Hall, where he could exchange for rare treasures at any time. Luo Feng carefully studied the detailed information of each treasure with 'more than ten million Merit Points '.
"My 'Life-Death Path' has gone astray." As Luo Feng's understanding deepened, he also realized this.
"My cultivation path has been most deeply influenced by the Star Tower! Back in the Origin Continent, I carefully observed that Blood Scale. It was like a lamp in the darkness, guiding my way." Luo Feng frowned. "But of the secret patterns I observed on that Blood-Colored Scale, life-type patterns accounted for 34.2%, while destruction-type patterns only accounted for 9.2%."
"Guided by it, my Life-Death Path and death leans more towards life."
Luo Feng pursues life forms of extreme size, and then transforms the power of these life forms into destruction, naturally possessing super destructive power.
But this path, in essence, is more inclined towards life.
The cultivation at the God-King stage leans towards life itself.
"My Life-Death Path, strictly speaking, is a fusion of seven parts life and three parts destruction."
"In the very Initial, influenced by the Star Tower, my direction went astray. There's no going back now. I can only go all the way down this path." Luo Feng also knew very well that there was no such thing as a wrong path.
Even a life form with pure essence can aspire to reach the highest level.
With seven parts life and three parts destruction, one can still reach the 'Half Primal Chaos' and continue on the path.
"I need another secret treasure that can corroborate the Star Tower Blood Scale," Luo Feng thought. The two corroborating each other would also broaden his horizons.
"This treasure needs to possess the mysteries of the Primal Chaos Progenitor level, containing the concepts of birth and death, and tending towards destruction," Luo Feng thought.
Blood-Colored Scale, life is paramount.
The other treasure should be used primarily for destruction.
The two are for reference.
One can then navigate the Life-Death Path and death more smoothly.
"From this perspective, this is the one."
Luo Feng took a liking to one of the secret treasures.
The Sky-Rending Blade: A weapon naturally born in a Mysterious Land within the Infinite Primal Chaos Space, containing the highest level of destructive mysteries, yet harboring life within endless terrifying destruction. This blade is suitable for Xing Zhe the 'Path of Destruction' and 'Path of Life' to exchange for, requiring 30 million Merit Points.
"Contains the highest level of destructive mysteries, yet also harbors vitality? Primarily focused on destruction, with life as a secondary element? This is it." Luo Feng chose it. He really liked knives, but had never encountered a suitable knife-type treasure.
We finally met him!
"Xing Zhe Luo Feng, are you sure you want to exchange for the Sky-Rending Blade?" a gentle voice rang out.
"Confirmed," Luo Feng replied.
"Will the Sky-Rending Blade be teleported to the Dark Holy World or your home world, the Origin Source World?" the gentle voice said. "Although the Sky-Rending Blade was not forged from Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform materials, it is extremely valuable. Even outside the Source World, it may still attract danger."
"Teleport to my home world Source World," Luo Feng said.
