Volume Eleven: Eight Lords
The Cultivator Domain, the Mingyu World Cluster, is the absolute domain of the Xing Zhe lord 'Minghuang'! The entire world cluster operates according to the will of 'Minghuang'.
Here, there is no fertile ground for sin to thrive.
The core holy land of the Mingyu World Cluster is the 'Minghuang Holy Land', where Xing Zhe from all over the world cluster gather. To be able to come to the 'Minghuang Holy Land', one must meet two conditions: strength and merit! Both are factors to be considered.
Those with weak merit need to be extremely powerful!
Even those with high merit and low strength can come to the Holy Land and get close to the great lord!
If one is burdened with sins, no matter how strong one is, one will be punished and will not be qualified to receive instruction from the lord.
"Buzz—"
Endless Thunder illuminated the entire Minghuang Holy Land.
The Xing Zhe of the Minghuang Holy Land lived in peace and harmony; in the place where the lord resided, no sin could exist.
"The Xing Zhe 'Fu Tianyi' Half Primal Chaos Enlightenment Seeker. In order to break free from the Cage, he has cultivated by nourishing himself with the souls of billions. Over the past 320 million epochs, he has devoured more than 100 trillion living beings. His sins are grave, and I recommend that he be sentenced to death."
"The death penalty requires a report to be submitted and handled personally by World-tier Primal Chaos. I think it's unnecessary to sentence him to death. Instead, we can punish him with 'Endless Wind Punishment.' Firstly, it can serve as a deterrent, and secondly, he will need to contribute to the Cultivator Faction in the Wind Punishment Land."
The Wind Punishment Land is a mineral deposit in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space, Cage life would normally be unable to survive! However, there is an array that prevents the endless Primal Chaos Force from eroding it.
There, even without the endless erosion of Primal Chaos Force, the natural 'wind' within the mine would repeatedly torment the Half Primal Chaos Enlightenment Seeker, making them feel as if they were being slowly sliced to death, and they would still need to keep mining. And the sentence would be forever!
Only by 'breaking free from the Cage's can one hope to change their fate.
For those Half Primal Chaos Enlightenment Seeker, they would rather endure endless punishment than not live and have the chance to escape their Cage.
"He committed such heinous crimes that he does not deserve to live. I recommend the death penalty."
"I also recommend the death penalty! Such a heinous crime deserves to die! He cannot be given any chance of survival!"
"Fu Tianyi has a high talent, and 'Endless Wind Punishment' is enough to punish him. If he doesn't break free from his Cage, he will never rise again."
Suggestions were offered one by one.
"Of the nine of us, three recommended 'Endless Wind Punishment,' and six recommended 'Death Penalty.' The final verdict is—Death Penalty! Report this immediately!"
In Luo Feng's absolute territory, the one who handles many matters is 'Cheng', who leads a large number of High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform.
Within the absolute territory of the Minghuang, a World-tier Primal Chaos expert is in charge of commanding and handling numerous matters.
"Fu Tianyi, death penalty?"
A towering figure, having learned the news, glanced at a weapon that had been presented to him—the weapon that Fu Tianyi had once used.
If one is a lord, a single thought can, through cause and effect, reduce Memory Pollution. Even if the source of the Source World blocks the way, the information transmitted by a lord can cause the soul of a Cage creature to self-collapse and annihilate.
World-tier Primal Chaos requires the use of objects to unleash causal attacks.
If we're talking about the 'contamination' of High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform, then a Half Primal Chaos Enlightenment Seeker within the confines of their Cage might still have a chance to endure. But the contamination brought down by World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform... even if it's just Memory Pollution, a Half Primal Chaos Enlightenment Seeker simply cannot survive unless their will breaks free from the Cage.
"Buzz!"
The towering figure looked at Fu Tianyi's weapon, and through the cause and effect of the weapon, he could see Fu Tianyi hiding in the Source World.
A single glance can transmit the Memory Pollution.
"Ah—" Fu Tianyi, who was already terrified, clutched his head in pain. In just a few breaths, his soul twisted, collapsed, and was completely annihilated.
In the Minghuang Holy Land.
Beside a vast lake, there was a wooden house where Minghuang lived in seclusion.
Once she sets the rules, her subordinates will act according to them! Within her 'absolute territory,' there are various levels of punishment according to the severity of the sins! However, it is still rare for World-tier Primal Chaos to execute someone directly.
After all, there are regulations in place, and only a very small number of people dare to violate them.
"My Hunyuan Thunder Dao consists of eight parts Thunder and two parts water."
"Xingmang can comprehend the second level of the Dao at the Primordial Chaos level, why can't I?"
Those who become lords are extremely proud.
"It is entirely possible for me to create the 'Primal Chaos Water Path', which is based on water."
"Although it is extremely difficult and progress is extremely slow, as long as we keep making slow progress... there is hope!" As long as she doesn't encounter a bottleneck, Minghuang will not give up.
Beyond the Xingmang, other lords are all trying to find ways to become stronger.
Like Yuan and Naigu, we can see hope.
People like Wulan, Minghuang, Jin, Moman have all been trying to create a second path at the Hunyuan level, but their progress has been too slow. This is because the first path at the Hunyuan level is most compatible with one's true nature, while the second path at the Hunyuan level is not as compatible, making it much more difficult to comprehend.
Luo Feng's nature places great emphasis on life! The Primal Chaos Life-Death Path and Death prioritizes life, allowing for smooth cultivation. He even achieved success by Yi Li Po Fa.
However, the Primal Chaos Blade Path is primarily based on destruction! Although Luo Feng has also conducted in-depth research on destruction, his level of understanding and comprehending it has clearly decreased. Even with his current Lord-level insight, comprehension, and mental processing speed, comprehending the complete 'Primal Chaos Blade Path' is still very difficult.
Luo Feng, who Yi Li Po Fa, comprehends the second level of the Chaotic Origin Dao, albeit at a slower pace. Those like Minghuang and Jin progress at an absurdly slow pace, and are likely to get stuck at some bottleneck at any time.
"Water is the main component."
Minghuang felt awkward when she tried to comprehend it.
Her strong personality and the water-based Dao are too much for her.
"Minghuang," Yuan's voice rang out, "Negotiations have failed. Prepare for war with the Ice Peak Faction."
"Start a war?" Golden Thunder flashed in Minghuang's eyes. Compared to comprehending cultivation, fighting was much easier.
"They're here!"
The Minghuang was filled with fighting spirit.
Deep down, she was never afraid of fighting!
King Jin is currently seated on his throne.
His head was adorned with twelve silver-white horns resembling a crown, his sharp fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, and his other hand held a cup of blood-red wine. His silver-white scaled tail swayed slowly on the ground.
He looked around his absolute territory with ease and comfort.
In his absolute territory, all races vie for supremacy, fighting to the death!
"That's the magic of life!"
"Life shines most brilliantly when it is under the threat of death!" Jin admired some of the strong individuals in the battle among the myriad races. "If life is too comfortable, it will only produce a bunch of useless people."
"Sigh, Luo Feng is also Primal Chaos Life-Death Path. I thought he understood me best."
"Although he acknowledges the law of the jungle, he is so hostile to Cataclysmic Cultivator." Jin shook his head slightly. "So what if Cataclysmic Cultivator? They can become an eternal catastrophe in a Source World by their own abilities! That is because their own abilities are excellent enough."
Jin, on the contrary, admired those cataclysmic powerhouses who, through countless reincarnations, utterly suppressed an entire Source World. He considered them to be the most outstanding individuals selected through the 'survival of the fittest' principle!
Although Lord Moman didn't particularly admire those Cataclysmic Cultivators, he acknowledged that it was a natural consequence of the 'survival of the fittest' and didn't object to it.
"Since we're incompatible, let's stay away from each other." Jin was also proud to the core. As a lord, an immortal being, he had no need to please anyone.
"Jin," Yuan's voice rang out, "Negotiations have failed. Prepare for war with the Ice Peak Faction."
"Haha, here they come!"
Jin smiled.
This is what he likes best!
Call!
In an instant, Jin had vanished.
"War is about to break out? Here it comes." Wulan, who had transformed into a massive celestial body, chuckled and had already traversed time and space. He was never afraid of any battle, nor of any opponent.
"Is war about to break out?" In the Infinite Primal Chaos Space, a vast expanse of flesh and blood suddenly merged together, transforming into Lord Naigu.
Lord Naigu was overjoyed; he was more than willing to hunt down the progenitor.
The corpse of each ancestor will become his provisions.
"War?"
Countless fluctuations spread throughout the Infinite Primal Chaos Space, even reaching some naturally primordial races, sensing the souls of countless beings, their joy, anger, and hatred. These fluctuations were integrated into the primordial fluctuations, which even the progenitor could hardly detect.
"That's interesting!"
Countless fluctuations vanished and dissipated, while the fluctuations in the Home Source World rapidly intensified! Relying on the energy absorption speed of the Home Source World's origin, Lord Moman recovered to his peak state in just a few breaths.
Normally, he disperses into countless billions of fluctuations, merging into the Infinite Primal Chaos Space. Only under special circumstances will his main battle avatar converge.
"The Ice Peak Faction?" Lord Moman's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
"I have arrived." The Starlight Lord had been observing the entire negotiation process, and even anticipated the Ice Peak Faction's reaction earlier than 'Yuan'. He had already set off first.
Origin Continent Source World.
Luo Feng is currently in seclusion, cultivating as the youngest lord, and is working on comprehending the Primal Chaos Blade Path.
In the early stages of enlightenment, which is the 'accumulation period', there are no bottlenecks, and a large number of insights keep coming to mind.
"Luo Feng, negotiations have failed. Prepare for war with the Ice Peak Faction," Yuan's voice rang out.
Luo Feng, who was in seclusion, opened his eyes.
"They're here."
Clad in a blood-red robe, Luo Feng instantly left his hometown Source World, an endless distance away, and went directly to join Yuan.
******
Yuan's choice of meeting point was also deliberate, being closest to 'Wulan,' the slowest of the three. Although the lords arrived at different times, the time difference was not significant, and they all gathered together.
"Everyone's here." Yuan nodded.
Jin, Wulan, Minghuang, Naigu, Xingmang, Moman, and Luo Feng were all filled with fighting spirit.
During the previous Council Hall meeting, the eight lords had already decided to first deal with all the other weak forces, and then negotiate with the Ice Peak Faction. If the negotiations succeeded, all would be well; if they failed... then war would break out!
The Three Thousand Six Hundred World Cluster shall not be tolerated!
"Xingmang, do you think the Ice Peak Faction dares to start a war with us?" Jin asked.
"They are not as united as we are," Xingmang smiled. "Faced with a group of immortal beings, even the Ice Peak Progenitor's power of control is still limited. If the eight of us lords put up a show of force together, they will fall into chaos."
"As for whether or not war will break out?" Xingmang looked into the distance. "It's hard to say."
"Let's see how strong they really are," Lord Naigu said coldly. Among Xing Zhe lords, he was considered mediocre, but compared to those progenitors, he was extremely strong.
"Let's go," Yuan commanded.
Call--
The eight lords set off together, heading straight for the Fallen Territory.
Xing Zhe lords are usually busy with their own affairs, and it's rare for two or three of them to act together! Eight lords' main battle avatars acting together? That's enough to attract the attention of all forces in the entire Infinite Primal Chaos Space.
"The Cultivator Faction has mobilized all eight lords together!"
"Are they going to war with the Ice Peak Faction?"
Many forces, observing from afar, were somewhat excited.
Eight lords!
An individual is already extremely intimidating; when eight of them act together, even weaker forces tremble with fear.
The war between the three major factions is the most intense conflict in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space. In this level of warfare, the chances of the progenitors perishing are also the highest.
