The Tenth Volume: Creating a Primal Chaos-Level Path!

Quiet Room of the cave abode.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged, first taking a pill, then eating a fruit, and finally picking up the wine pot next to him and gulping down a lot of wine. His soul was faintly radiating light, and his condition was better than ever before!

"This is my first attempt to create a Dao at the Hunyuan level, so I need to be in good shape." It was rare for Luo Feng to be so extravagant; a single pill and a spirit fruit were worth 80,000 Reward Points, not even counting the drinks!

"Let's begin creating!"

Luo Feng already had a rough idea of Primal Chaos Life-Death Path in his mind, and now he needed to construct it one by one.

Luo Feng opened the 'Life-Death Eye' between his eyebrows. With his will, a series of secret patterns were drawn and formed in the void before him. The mystery of these secret patterns was the natural fusion of life and destruction, as if it were made by nature.

One day, two days, a hundred days, a thousand days, ten thousand days...

Luo Feng carefully constructed the secret pattern diagram.

"At my current construction speed, it will probably take about ten epochs to complete," Luo Feng concluded.

The Dao at the Hunyuan level is too vast, on the same level as the Ancestor-level Secret Pattern Diagram! The number of secret patterns is astronomical, and they are drawn one by one, constantly! It takes about ten eras to complete the drawing.

"The idea was good, but when I actually started building it up, I discovered a lot of problems." Luo Feng would occasionally stop to think about and solve the problems.

It's like building a complex machine that spans hundreds of millions of kilometers. Problems in the early stages of construction may not be discovered at the beginning, but once most of the construction is complete, some problems will become unsolvable.

The same applies to the creation of the 'Tao'.

There were many hidden problems before, and in the later stages, we could only make repairs and barely integrate it.

By the time the massive rune map was fully constructed, eighteen centuries had passed.

"It's finally done."

Luo Feng looked at the enormous, floating rune diagram in front of him with some excitement. Although he was very tired, he had finally constructed a complete rune diagram. This rune diagram was vast and profound, completely on the same level as the ancestral rune diagram.

"The first version of the Primal Chaos Life-Death Path, which took eighteen epochs to complete, has finally been formed." Luo Feng looked at the secret pattern diagram in front of him. "Unfortunately, it has too many flaws. I can spot many problems at a glance."

"Regardless, at least a basic framework has been established. This is a framework at the same level as the Ancestral Secret Pattern Diagram. I've also learned a lot from it." Luo Feng was quite satisfied.

He believed that the second creation would be much stronger.

"Let's try it out and see what it would be like to build a clone based on this secret pattern diagram," Luo Feng thought. Simply looking at the secret pattern diagram wouldn't reveal some flaws. But if he used it to build a clone, he could perceive many of the clone's problems.

The energy of a secluded cave abode Quiet Room is virtually inexhaustible for Xing Zhe confined within its Cage.

With a single thought, a massive amount of energy rapidly began to condense into Luo Feng's body, which then reached an energy reserve of 15 billion times, far exceeding that of Luo Feng's original body.

Because it was so enormous, most of its body could not be properly controlled and could only be transformed into a sea of blood, which was then governed by an array. Some parts were able to maintain human form, their bodies covered with a layer of blue scales, and their humanoid forms had an air of indestructibility.

Feeling this clone, Luo Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"The first version of the 'Primal Chaos Life-Death Path' has too many flaws, and it can't even perfectly control the body anymore. Most of the energy reserves can only be transformed into a sea of blood. However, the human body that it condenses is quite powerful. These blue scales also have some characteristics of the 'Star Tower Blood Scale'."

Luo Feng sensed this clone.

Without breaking free from its Cage, no matter how much the Half Primal Chaos Life-Death Path grows, it remains within those Cage. The many mysteries added to its foundation may grant it additional abilities, but they could also become its flaws.

Many Half Primal Chaos Enlightenment Seeker attempted to add more mysteries only ended up adding unnecessary details. Their power not only failed to increase, but actually decreased.

Although Luo Feng only created the first version, this clone was still much stronger than the original physical body.

The overall control over this body has decreased slightly! However, the portion that can be perfectly controlled has exceeded 5 billion times the energy reserve, resulting in a significant increase in overall energy reserves! The body's combat power has also increased dramatically!

It is much stronger than the 'Half Primal Chaos Life-Death Path'.

"There are too many flaws; the entire Mind-Consciousness System is malfunctioning."

Based on the form of his clone, Luo Feng discerned more problems with the first version of the 'Primal Chaos Life-Death Path' secret pattern diagram.

"Start from scratch completely!"

"Begin the second attempt to create the Primal Chaos Life-Death Path!"

Having gained experience from his first creation, Luo Feng was more cautious the second time. He needed to be very careful from the very beginning when constructing the secret runes, because all subsequent secret runes were based on the earlier ones.

This time it took a little less time, fifteen epochs, to create the second version of the Primal Chaos Life-Death Path.

"Much better than last time!"

Looking at the massive secret pattern diagram before him, Luo Feng Life-Death Fusion within it, with each secret pattern shimmering with light. Luo Feng even vaguely sensed a supreme level of power within it.

"Boom!"

This force subtly tempted Luo Feng's mind and attracted Luo Feng.

"I sensed the highest level of power, but I'm still a little short, still a little short," Luo Feng murmured. "My secret rune diagram is already very close to 'the highest level of power'."

Luo Feng was pleasantly surprised. This time, the secret pattern diagram was still vast, and even with Luo Feng's observational skills, he could not find any obvious flaws! The enormous secret pattern diagram was also as if it were a single, unified whole.

The ancestral-level secret pattern is like the origin.

Luo Feng's secret pattern diagram at this moment is also like the origin.

"I can't find any flaws on the surface," Luo Feng thought. "Although I feel the attraction of some kind of extremely high-level power, it is clear that this second version of the Primal Chaos Life-Death Path has not undergone a qualitative change and has not become a 'Chaos Origin level Dao'."

Luo Feng was well aware of this.

Because the information about the Cultivator Faction had already been made public, based on the experience of the previous seven lords, once one comprehends the Dao at the Hunyuan level, one's life level can directly advance to the lord level.

But even now, I haven't escaped the Cage. The second version has already proven to be a failure.

Even when you are very close to success, you still fail.

"If we can't see any flaws in the rune pattern, let's build a clone first."

Luo Feng attempted to create another clone.

Absorbing the energy of the cave abode's Quiet Room, a humanoid clone rapidly began to form. During the formation process, Blood-Colored Scale began to appear on the clone's body. These Blood-Colored Scale were 80-90% similar to the 'Star Tower Blood Scale'. As the clone formed, its aura began to become terrifying.

"Boom~~~"

This clone naturally began to form an invisible domain of rules.

The terrifying domain of rules could suppress Luo Feng's previous physical body.

"This clone can have 19.1 billion times the energy reserves, more than the previous one, but it has perfect control over every bit of power."

"The Mind-Consciousness System has also completely taken control of every part of the clone, and the strength of the Mind Will has increased significantly. With this clone, the Mind Will should have already reached the World-tier Primal Chaos level." Luo Feng very surprised.

This second version is excellent.

Its energy reserves are terrifying, and its Mind Will is extremely strong.

"My current mental processing speed is several times faster than when I used to consume many treasures with my physical body." Luo Feng looked at the blood-red scales on his body, which were practically indestructible.

A thought.

The scales extended naturally and merged to form a knife.

Luo Feng held this knife in his hand.

"My body can transform into weapons." Luo Feng lightly swung the knife in his hand, and the knife easily tore through space.

"I haven't escaped the Cage yet, but this clone should be able to rival High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform," Luo Feng concluded.

The second version of the Primal Chaos Life-Death Path is very close to success! It has not yet broken free from its Cage, but its physical body, in terms of both size and power, is comparable to a true High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform.

"Where are the billions of origins that I originally planned to form within my body?" Luo Feng discovered this, realizing that no origins had formed within his body at all.

"I understand the problem!"

"In my pursuit of perfection, I have diminished the power of life and destruction."

"We need to strengthen these two aspects."

Luo Feng retained the second version of the clone this time, because this clone only needed to consume some treasures to greatly improve its thinking speed, comprehension, and other aspects.

The third edition is significantly more profound, incorporating more mysteries of life and destruction.

"More perfect."

When the secret pattern was successfully constructed, Luo Feng felt a resonance with a supreme power, a power that seemed within reach.

The secret rune diagrams are vast and profound, in no way inferior to those of the progenitor level.

"I'm closer to the highest level of power," Luo Feng thought. "But there's still something missing. What is it?"

"Try to create a clone."

The energy of the cave abode's Quiet Room was mobilized, and the third version of the clone began to be constructed.

Just a moment.

A towering and enormous figure of Luo Feng appeared in the Quiet Room of the cave abode.

"It took more than 30 billion times the energy reserves to construct this clone." Luo Feng sensed the power of this clone, which contained three origins within its body. "And each of the three hidden origins within the body can accumulate 100 billion times the energy."

"My mental processing speed is ten times faster than the second version of my clone?"

"My Mind Will should be considered to be at the normal World-tier Primal Chaos level."

"My physical body is indestructible."

Luo Feng felt as if he were a terrifying weapon, with even his muscles, bones, and flesh bearing some 'Blood-Colored Scale' characteristics.

"Almost there, almost perfect. If my entire physical structure were similar to the 'Blood-Colored Scale,' my body would be practically indestructible! My physical body would be the most terrifying weapon!"

Luo Feng could sense that if he took another step, he would reach the complete 'Primal Chaos Life-Death Path'.

At that time, I will be the eighth lord, and every part of my body will be comparable to the 'Star Tower Blood Scale', indestructible! My entire body will be comparable to the most terrifying weapon, capable of destroying the world and sweeping away everything.

"We also need to add destructive features, so that the body will be like a weapon, making the power even more terrifying... No, wait!"

Luo Feng suddenly felt a jolt.

"You're wrong!"

"I've taken the wrong turn!"

Luo Feng realized the problem.

As Enlightenment Seeker, he was free from the corruption of bloodline and will, as well as Memory Pollution. Therefore, he was able to clearly recognize his own problems.

"In the second version, I pursued 'no flaws,' aiming for a more perfect Life-Death Fusion. That's when I started to go astray!"

"Always strive for perfection, and to balance birth and death as much as possible."

"The balance between birth and death means that I currently only have three origins within me, instead of the billions of origins originally planned. At the same time, my destructive tendencies are intensifying, and even my physical body and bones are transforming into Blood-Colored Scale."

"But in reality, I seem to be within reach of becoming a lord. However, by following the wrong path, I will never reach that point." Luo Feng realized the problem, "Because my foundation, the 'Half Primal Chaos Life-Death Path,' is fundamentally based on life."

The foundation is 'life as the primary factor', so it is impossible to produce the fruit of 'balance between birth and death'.

The idea that it's within easy reach is just an illusion!

"My path is not a path of balance between birth and death."

"It's about going to extremes, pursuing the extremes of life first."
