Origin Continent Source World, in Huyang City, at the City Lord's Mansion.

Inside the Star Tower.

Luo Feng has been studying those High-tier Primal Chaos Bloodline here for a long time using the 'Book of Wisdom' and the 'Life-Death Eye'. Luo Feng had already thoroughly studied the low- Low-tier Primal Chaos Bloodline Origin Bloodlines, but he had only studied 70% of the High-tier Primal Chaos Bloodline and now only had 30%.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng felt an invisible fluctuation descend, and a weapon appeared out of thin air in front of him.

The treasures that were redeemed with Infinite Space Reward Points in the past also arrived in this way.

"This knife..."

The moment Luo Feng saw the knife, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

This sword was entirely black, its power concealed. Yet, just seeing it gave Luo Feng the feeling of viewing the Star Tower's Blood Scale —supreme and unparalleled! Its level of power even reminded Luo Feng of the origin of the Origin Source World.

"Is this a knife I can use?" Luo Feng carefully reached out and grasped the hilt.

The knife offered no resistance.

Luo Feng gripped the knife!

"What a terrifying blade." Luo Feng gripped the blade, and he vaguely understood that even though he was just a life confined within a Cage, if he were to swing this blade, those High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform would likely be instantly annihilated.

This blade contains the highest level of destructive power, making it a weapon that even World-tier Primal Chaos experts would covet.

It was only because the number of 'World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform' in the Cultivator Faction was too small, while the spoils of war from the faction war were too great, that Yuan and the others opened these treasures to the Xing Zhe at this critical moment of life and death.

As long as your talent is high enough, you can exchange for these treasures. Of course, if the Xing Zhe dies, these treasures will still be taken back.

"Unlike the Blood Scale Inside the Star Tower, which is ultimately just a scale and cannot unleash much power, this is a blade naturally born from the Infinite Primal Chaos Space, inherently possessing terrifying destructive power." Luo Feng held the blade as if he were a little mouse that had touched the button of a nuclear weapon.

With a casual wave, the world would be destroyed; at least the Source World would likely be plunged into immediate annihilation.

"I'm too weak."

"Before I break free from this Cage, it will only serve as a tool for enlightenment for me." Luo Feng understood this, which was also the reason he exchanged for the sword; he intended to use it for cultivation.

It was used to corroborate the Blood Scale of the Star Tower.

"Take a look."

Luo Feng opened the Life-Death Eye his eyebrows. Instead of using the Book of Wisdom, he first tried to examine the interior of the Sky -Sky-Rending Blade.

Buzz—

Inside the Sky-Rending Blade is an endless network of secret patterns!

"What is this?" Luo Feng looked at the vast and endless network of secret patterns. Based on his understanding of life and destruction, he could almost instantly determine that the secret patterns he saw were only divided into two categories.

One category is destruction, which accounts for approximately 89%.

One category is life, which accounts for about 11%.

"Only two types of secret runes?" Luo Feng was somewhat dazed. He had studied so many Primal Chaos Bloodline, as well as the Life-Death Eye and the Star Tower Blood Scale, all of which contained many types of secret runes.

"This is the weapon; the runes are all very pure," Luo Feng exclaimed. "It's exactly what I wanted: destruction as the primary element and life as a secondary element."

As Luo Feng carefully examined the blade, he used his own power to refine it. This blade had already been prepared by Senior Yuan, making it easy to refine; Luo Feng completed the refinement in just half a day.

The moment the refining was completed—

As Luo Feng gripped the knife, an aura of destruction rose from its surface, and the same aura rose from Luo Feng's body.

Man and knife are as one.

"Naturally, I became like a part of the sword?" Luo Feng murmured. "It must be because my cultivation level is too low to perfectly control the sword. Instead, I was influenced by the sword."

"Um?"

Luo Feng gripped the knife, yet his mind sensed an existence that was incredibly distant.

That place is extremely far from the Origin Continent Source World, much farther than even the Dark Holy World.

In the telepathic perceptions of Luo Feng's multiple clones, there was only one feeling! The Mysterious Land sensed at this moment was extremely, extremely far away!

"Phew~~~~"

That Mysterious Land.

Luo Feng vaguely sensed an endless aura of destruction. In the blur, Luo Feng vaguely sensed one weapon after another, each with a different appearance, and the feeling he got from Luo Feng was no less than that of the Sky-Rending Blade...

Numerous weapons were hidden there!

Compared to that Mysterious Land, the destructive aura contained in the Sky-Rending Blade is not even a fraction Mysterious Land.

"The Sky-Rending Blade must have originated from here." Holding the blade, Luo Feng instinctively knew this. He felt a sense of belonging to that place; that was the Sky- Sky-Rending Blade's true home.

"If I ever break free from this Cage and if I have enough strength, I will definitely find an opportunity to go and see it." Luo Feng was very curious about that place.

He then stopped thinking about it.

Then he used the Book of Wisdom to study the Sky-Rending Blade. As the owner of the Sky-Rending Blade- Sky-Rending Blade was completely unguarded, allowing the Book of Wisdom to uncover many of its secrets.

"So, with 'destruction' as its core, the combination of birth and death can go this far?"

As Luo Feng looked at the countless layers of space contained on the pages of the Book of Wisdom, the secret patterns of the Sky-Rending Blade kept appearing. The secret patterns kept appearing, and even changed over time.

"I've seen another path of the Life-Death Fusion," Luo Feng murmured.

The most dazzling thing he had ever seen before was the secret pattern of the Star Tower Blood Scale.

There, Luo Feng saw a path that prioritized life and used destruction as a secondary element. When life was strong enough, every gesture and movement possessed Endless Might. It was easy to acquire extraordinary destructive power.

His "Life-Death Path" follows this very path.

"In fact, with destruction as the core and life as the secondary, one can also reach the highest level." Luo Feng saw this path at this moment, the path shown by the Sky-Rending Blade.

Using life as a catalyst, it instead brings about extreme destruction.

Every glimmer of life can unleash a destructive force a billion times greater.

A force of destruction a billion times greater can trigger a chain reaction, continuing to generate an even greater force of destruction...

That was true destruction of everything!

"That's insane."

"In the end, this kind of destruction may even destroy the self," Luo Feng murmured. "This is the 'Dao' carried by the weapon. I'm afraid it would be very difficult for Primal Chaos Lifeform form to bear such a Dao."

Every Primal Chaos Lifeform must first and foremost survive! Therefore, those Primal Chaos Bloodline will contain 'life' type secret patterns.

Even the most Primal Chaos Lifeform, adept at destruction, will contain secret patterns of other paths. They cannot be as extreme as weapons.

"My original path was the right one. The Life-Death Path should prioritize life," Luo Feng thought. "However, I can also absorb some of the mysteries of destruction and integrate them to perfect my path."

A new world unfolded before him, and Luo Feng couldn't help but immerse himself in it.

Large Primal Chaos Hall in the Dark Holy World.

"He used the limited-time offer of purchasing one secret treasure to exchange for the Sky-Rending Blade." The two High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform had also been observing Luo Feng.

"We High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform receive substantial cultivation during our Xing Zhe stage. But once we become High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform, the resources we receive decrease rapidly." The woman in the fiery red robe shook her head slightly. "For example, I'm not even qualified to exchange for this Sky-Rending Blade."

"You've been given all the opportunities you could," the silver-haired, silver-browed man said. "In the end, you achieved the ultimate awakening of your bloodline to become a High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform. How could the lords possibly continue to cultivate you with such effort?"

The woman in the fiery red robe nodded.

She understood.

In factional warfare, High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform are nothing more than insignificant soldiers.

Even High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform are categorized. Those who break through directly by comprehending the mysteries of bloodlines will still receive ample nurturing. For people like the two of them, the hope of becoming World-tier Primal Chaos is negligible.

"Luo Feng's potential is far greater than ours," said Qiuguo, a silver-haired, silver-browed man. "As a Fusion Path Xing Zhe, the strength he has shown is even stronger than some Fusion Path Xing Zhe I know."

"The lord said that Luo Feng is going to extremes. He's not pursuing a balance between life and death. Instead, he's pursuing the limit of life, which greatly increases the difficulty of him fusing with life and death," Yifeiya said. "But similarly, after succeeding, his strength is significantly greater."

"He came from the Dark Holy World." The silver-haired, silver-browed man smiled slightly. "We are the guardians of the Dark Holy World. If we don't help him now, we won't be qualified to help him once he breaks free of his Cage."

Yifeiya's heart stirred.

"Those Xing Zhe the Fusion Path are exceptionally talented and have a high probability of becoming World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform," the silver-haired, silver-browed man said. "When that happens, they will mentor us and transfer us to their ranks. Our lives will then be much easier."

"Yes." Yifeiya nodded. "How can we help?"

"He should be close to a breakthrough, but he's still missing something. Let's choose a suitable opponent for him." The silver-haired, silver-browed man smiled and said, "From the more than 30,000 imprisoned High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform, let's choose the most suitable opponent."

"Helping him break through is enough karma," the silver-haired, silver-browed man said. "If he still doesn't break through, we'll think of other ways."

"Let's go." Yifeiya nodded.

They both knew very well that they were now High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform, and that in the future they would have to look up to Luo Feng.

Call--

They arrived at the Space-Time Cage deep within the Large Primal Chaos Hall, where they were seen by the other High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform imprisoned there.

"We plan to select a Primal Chaos Prisoner and send him to the wilderness of the Dark Holy World. This Primal Chaos Prisoner will thus gain temporary freedom." Qiuguo's gaze swept across the area, his eyes icy. "Who wants to go for such a good thing?"

These imprisoned High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform were somewhat alarmed upon hearing this.

"Exiled?"

"Once they are exiled and their strength is sealed, they will eventually be ganged up on and killed by those weak Xing Zhe."

These Primal Chaos Prisoner all understood this.

Letting them out means they're going to die!

In the wilderness of the Dark Holy World, only occasionally does a Primal Chaos Prisoner appear! Given Xing Zhe's ability to explore the wilderness, why would such a Primal Chaos Prisoner appear only occasionally? Is their power sealed? Without a doubt, they were deliberately released.

"Two guardians, I am willing to join the Cultivator Faction and have my Life Core refined," said a massive cloud of black mist.

"Seek refuge?"

Qiuguo and Yifeiya, the two guards, looked at the group of prisoners with cold smiles.

"Don't even think about it! Last time, the lord recruited on a large scale, and tens of millions of captured, High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform were willing to submit. Their Life Core were refined, and they became members of our Cultivator Faction forever. You didn't submit then... Now you're being escorted to various holy realms, and you want to surrender? It's too late!" Qiuguo sneered.

"Too late?" Many of these Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform had only recently been escorted here and were not quite aware of the situation.

"Refining Life Core is something only lords can do. Therefore, the only opportunity to submit is when a lord recruits you," Qiuguo sneered.

"Your strength is not bad, and your size is the largest among the more than 30,000 prisoners." Yifeiya suddenly walked to a Space-Time Cage and looked at the towering, massive, fiery red rock life form inside. "You're the one to be banished to the Dark Holy World."

"I've been exiled?"

The massive, fiery red rock seemed to pause in surprise.

"Your strength needs to be sealed even more." Qiuguo immediately used Talisman Token to quickly increase the restraints on the Primal Chaos Prisoner.

Buzz.

This Primal Chaos Prisoner's strength was rapidly suppressed and sealed, its size even shrank quickly, and its aura grew weaker and weaker. It fell below the 'high-level Chaos Prison' category, and its strength was even further suppressed.

A moment later, the aura it exuded was only slightly stronger than that of God Emperor Jike.

The other Primal Chaos Prisoner looked at it with mixed feelings. They all knew very well that being exiled meant death.

"I will die." The fiery red rock prisoner stared at the two guards, "But in this war, your entire Cultivator Faction will be utterly annihilated, and all territories will be flattened by us. In the end, perhaps only a few lords will be left to live alone, but all territories will be our hunting grounds!"

"Just watch." The silver-haired, silver-browed man sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the fiery red rock prisoner, whose power was completely sealed, shrank and fell into his palm.

The two guards took the Primal Chaos Prisoner and left immediately.

The remaining 30,000-plus Primal Chaos Prisoner watched this scene with mixed feelings, but they all understood that being imprisoned meant they could only be slaughtered at will.
