Lie Yuan Art and Native Creatures

An Azure-Clothed Man seated cross-legged on the grass suddenly opened his eyes. He saw a black-clothed figure descending in the distance.

"Luo He?" The Azure-Clothed Man recognized him at a glance.

Luo Feng looked over as well and nodded with a smile. "God King Tian Mu."

This Azure-Clothed Man was God King Tian Mu of the Lineage of Di Jiu Feng, the Thirteenth Lineage of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation Royal Clan.

"I never expected to see Great Sage Luo He here." God King Tian Mu took a step and arrived near Luo Feng, greeting him warmly.

As a God King of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation Royal Clan, he was naturally quite proud! Yet before this Great Sage Luo He, God King Tian Mu was humble and friendly. Everyone knew that, in the not-too-distant future, Great Sage Luo He would likely become a Hegemon-level existence on the Origin Continent.

God King Tian Mu was, after all, merely a God King First Realm cultivator. In terms of strength, he was only about equal to the current Luo He.

One had to know that Luo He was a Chaos Realm Transcendence! How could God King Tian Mu dare to be arrogant?

"His Majesty was merciful enough to let me hunt here," Luo Feng said.

"Our Yan Feng Ancient Nation has several territories within Infinite Space, but the territory governed by His Majesty is the safest," God King Tian Mu said. "For His Majesty to allot you a place shows how highly he values you."

Though God King Tian Mu spoke casually, he was deeply astonished within.

Everyone knew that Emperor Lord Ming and Emperor Chu did not get along. Yet Emperor Lord Ming was willing to help Luo He—it truly was rare.

"By the way." God King Tian Mu asked curiously, "Great Sage Luo He, how did you obtain the chance to enter? Even Chaos Realm Transcendences of the royal clan only have one opportunity to enter the Treasure Land. If they want more opportunities, they need to spend merits to exchange for them."

"If I want more opportunities, I need to exchange for them?" Luo Feng asked. "How many merits are needed?"

"Within the royal clan, the exchange cost is one-tenth that of guest officials." God King Tian Mu did not hide it, since this had long ceased to be a secret over the endless years. "For guest official God Kings, an entry slot into Infinite Space costs fifty million merits. For the royal clan, it costs five million merits each time. Even so, for us God King First Realm cultivators, accumulating five million merits is not easy."

Luo Feng understood.

The threshold for God Kings outside the two royal clans was far higher. Those who could accumulate fifty million merits—or forcibly snatch resources from the Two Great Ancient Nations—were no ordinary God Kings.

"My opportunity to enter came from the Thunder Ancient Nation," Luo Feng said without concealing it.

"Oh?" God King Tian Mu was surprised.

"I put quite a bit of effort into it." Luo Feng did not elaborate further.

God King Tian Mu looked at Luo Feng and sighed with a smile. "For someone outside the two royal clans to enter the Treasure Land left behind by Yuan while still at the Chaos Realm stage—such figures have been few and far between throughout the entire history of the Origin Continent. I can guess that Great Sage Luo He seized this opportunity through sheer strength."

"Compared with Great Sage Luo He, people like us, raised on family resources, seem utterly mediocre." God King Tian Mu shook his head as he spoke.

"Who would dare call a God King mediocre? I'm still trapped at a bottleneck myself," Luo Feng said.

"Haha, it cannot be considered a bottleneck for you. Before long, you will surely become a God King." God King Tian Mu spoke with equal regard, without the usual condescension God Kings showed toward Chaos Realm cultivators.

The two chatted for quite some time before parting ways.

Luo Feng was rather moved. Within the royal clan, one entry could be exchanged for five million merits; if God Kings worked hard to save up, they could manage it. But for guest official God Kings, fifty million merits... accumulating that would take far longer.

Especially for certain Ancient Existences. Once they had sufficient strength, they naturally formed alliances and began competing and plundering through force.

The two lofty ancestors had never interfered in such disputes. Perhaps they disdained to do so, or perhaps it was because those resources had been left behind by Yuan.

"There are three Native Creatures in the hunting ground Emperor Lord Ming gave me." Following the intelligence, Luo Feng first flew toward the nearest Native Creature.

After flying for a little over ten breaths, Luo Feng saw the creature.

"Hmm?"

Luo Feng observed this Native Creature.

This Native Creature existed between Truth and Illusion. Eight enormous tentacles extended through the void, while at the center of its massive body was a huge head. The blood-red single eye on that head was watching Luo Feng.

Merely being observed caused invisible mind power to seep in and influence him.

Luo Feng himself possessed the Mind Will of the God King Second Realm, and with the Lie Yuan Art guarding him, he naturally regarded it as nothing more than a breeze.

"According to the intelligence, every Native Creature in Infinite Space is a mind-type creature. The mind is their core, while the body is secondary," Luo Feng thought. "Their range of movement is also very limited."

The massive tentacled creature was likewise observing Luo Feng as it pondered, "My will descended into this mysterious place, and this powerful outsider is my ninth tribulation! I must survive a thousand tribulations before I can transform."

"A thousand tribulations of tempering. Failure means only death." This tentacled creature was patient as well.

Boom!

Luo Feng moved. Infinite Space had sealed nineteen Great Origin Daos, but the most fundamental Chaos Law could still be used.

The tentacled creature also lashed out with its tentacles. Their might was terrifying, and their power had likewise reached the God King level, in no way inferior to Luo Feng's current body.

However... in terms of technique, this tentacled creature was not even comparable to the Chaos Law. It was incredibly crude.

Bang. Luo Feng became a blur. In a flash, he had evaded the tentacles' strikes, and his blade-like kick landed on the tentacled creature's enormous head. A bloody crater instantly exploded in that huge head.

"Urgh—" A low roar rang out, followed by a sudden eruption of chaotic mind power that assaulted Luo Feng's Mind Will.

"This powerful outsider's will is too terrifying. I cannot infiltrate even the slightest bit." The tentacled creature was somewhat alarmed. It had undergone tribulations before and encountered other God Kings in Infinite Space. The strongest among them had possessed only the Mind Will of the God King Second Realm, and without a method such as the Lie Yuan Art, it had still been able to contaminate and infiltrate them to some extent.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The tentacled creature's body exploded again and again. In close combat, it was indeed far inferior to Luo Feng.

As its injuries grew increasingly severe—

Rip. Luo Feng tore apart one enormous tentacle that had already been wounded.

With his overwhelming advantage in close combat, Luo Feng spent roughly the time it took to drink a cup of tea before finally tearing the tentacled creature completely to pieces, destroying and annihilating it strike by strike. Yet the tentacled creature's immense consciousness still lingered there.

"Buzz."

Suddenly, under the mobilization of his illusory will, invisible power gathered. In merely a few breaths, the converging invisible power formed the tentacled creature once more.

"It's back already." Luo Feng watched this scene without the slightest surprise.

"According to the intelligence, Native Creatures of Infinite Space cannot be completely killed through ordinary physical combat." Luo Feng thought, "Even if their bodies are annihilated again and again, it takes hundreds or even thousands of annihilations to injure them. They will disappear for a long time... then recover after a long while and return once more."

"Only by forcing it to disappear can I obtain 1 Reward Point."

Since they could not be killed, Emperor Lord Ming had assigned Luo Feng only three Native Creatures.

These three Native Creatures were enough for Luo Feng to keep killing without end.

"The only way to kill it completely is to destroy its will. Then it will die utterly and never recover." Luo Feng thought. "According to the intelligence, even the weakest Native Creatures require God King Ultimate Realm willpower before there is any hope of completely eradicating their will."

"My Mind Will is only at the God King Second Realm. With the Lie Yuan Art, I wonder whether I can destroy it."

Luo Feng looked at the tentacled creature before him.

The tentacled creature was also observing Luo Feng.

"This is my tribulation, the ninth tribulation..." With its long life, the tentacled creature naturally possessed great patience.

Suddenly, everything before the tentacled creature vanished.

It could see nothing else. All it saw was a towering, rotating star. This immense star came rumbling toward it, directly crushing into the tentacled creature's chaotic, frenzied mental power.

Splat~~~

The tentacled creature's chaotic, frenzied mental power was instantly crushed by seventy to eighty percent.

"Not good." The tentacled creature finally saw Luo Feng clearly. Fury and alarm appeared in its enormous blood-red eye as its body instantly disintegrated of its own accord, its consciousness completely withdrawing.

In a distant world.

This world was occupied by myriad kingdoms. Countless living beings struggled to survive, and there were cultivators as well. Yet the true rulers of this world... were certain terrifying existences known as—demons.

Demons were immortal and indestructible, feeding on the seven emotions and six desires of living beings.

"Wooo—" In the depths of this world's ocean lay an incomparably enormous tentacled creature. Its body occupied roughly one-third of the entire ocean. This was also the Forbidden Sea of the whole world.

This tentacled creature was the source of the world's demons! The most terrifying and dreadful existence. It was also the Heavenly Dao of this world!

The countless cultivators of this world had studied it and derived their paths of cultivation from it.

"My ninth tribulation was actually this terrifying! He annihilated seventy to eighty percent of my mental power with a single strike?" A trace of fear appeared in the tentacled creature's eye.

The source of demons in this world, an existence akin to the Heavenly Dao, could actually feel fear? If the cultivators of this world learned of it, they likely would not dare believe it.

"However, what he annihilated were all my most chaotic and disorderly thoughts." The tentacled creature noticed this as well. "What remains is even purer and more condensed."

"I feed on the seven emotions and six desires of countless living beings in this world, but I have also grown increasingly chaotic."

"A thousand tribulations are tribulations, but also tempering."

"If I pass them, I can undergo a complete transformation."

The tentacled creature also realized the benefits of enduring that strike, though it needed time to recuperate. "Once the time comes, I must descend again. This tribulation is far more terrifying than the previous ones."

During the process of enduring a thousand tribulations, it could rest temporarily, but it could not retreat. It had to pass them one by one.

After the tentacled creature voluntarily disappeared, it did not reappear.

In ordinary physical combat, it took hundreds or even thousands of battles to force it to disappear. Yet after taking just one strike of the Lie Yuan Art, the tentacled creature fled.

"Unfortunately, I failed to kill it completely." Luo Feng shook his head slightly. "My Mind Will still isn't strong enough."

Even with God King Ultimate Realm willpower and certain powerful secret techniques of will, one would only have a chance of eradicating it completely. If his Mind Will were a few degrees stronger, perhaps he could have destroyed it in a single strike.

"These chaotic thoughts..."

Luo Feng frowned slightly. When he had destroyed seventy to eighty percent of the other party's mental power, a great number of stray thoughts had contaminated his own Mind Will. The emotions and desires of countless living beings invaded him. This was also the hidden danger of using Mind Will against such Native Creatures.

Suddenly—

Rumble~~~

Invisible rules descended and enveloped Luo Feng.
