Volume Eleven: Heart and Dao in Harmony
Luo Feng looked at the endless, winding serpent before him. The serpent stared back at Luo Feng with coldness and anger.
"Stop?" Luo Feng looked at his opponent and smiled calmly. "Infinite Serpent Ancestor, I haven't been killing much lately."
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor glared angrily at Luo Feng. Although it was unwilling to accept it, it knew that this newly Xing Zhe lord was already a terrifying enemy of the Innate Primal Chaos Faction!
This formidable enemy is extremely powerful and is rapidly increasing in strength. According to their predictions, Lord Luo Feng may surpass Starlight Lord in the future and become the most threatening enemy.
"Lord Luo Feng," the Infinite Serpent Ancestor spoke, his voice booming, "In the last hundred years, you have intercepted and killed all the 'World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform' that devour the Source World. More than 7,000 'World-tier Primal Chaos' beings have died at your hands! You have indeed stopped killing recently, but that's because... those World-tier Primal Chaos are all afraid and dare not devour the resources of the Source World anymore."
"It's a good thing." Luo Feng nodded slightly. "Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform, they are born to break free from their Cage! The Infinite Primal Chaos Space also nurtures all kinds of resources that can help them grow. They have no need to devour the origin of the Source World."
"Without consuming the origin of the Source World, Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform can still become stronger and can still become progenitors." Luo Feng smiled as he looked at the Infinite Serpent Ancestor. "In this way, Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform and beings from the Source World will not have to be mortal enemies!"
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor choked.
Not swallowing?
The Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform are divided into many races. Some races have excellent effects from consuming the origin of the Source World, while others have only moderate effects. Some races even have no effect at all.
However, the Infinite Clan is arguably the race most effective at absorbing the essence of the Source World! If they were to give up absorbing the essence of the Source World, their chances of giving birth to an ancestor would be reduced by 70% to 80%! This is absolutely intolerable.
"Impossible!" the Infinite Serpent Ancestor roared. "The Source World is scattered throughout the Infinite Primal Chaos Space. Why should we abandon this resource?"
"Luo Feng!"
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor stared at Luo Feng, "You should know that most races of Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform need the Origin Source World's essence! Your obstruction... is making an enemy of all Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform!"
"You don't represent all Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform." Luo Feng looked at it. "Since you want to devour the Source World, it's only natural that you'll suffer a backlash from the creatures of the Source World!"
He tried to devour the Source World, only to be killed by the beings of the Source World! This is karma!
"I'm reminding you," said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, "Your obstruction prevents many races from consuming the resources of the Source World. For a short time, many races can tolerate it. But in the long run, it will definitely cause a new war. When the flames of war sweep across your Cultivator Domain and many world groups fall, you will also have to bear these consequences."
"Infinite Serpent Ancestor, rest assured." Luo Feng looked at it, "I promise you that once the war begins, the flames of war will surely sweep across your territory."
"In the last war, I had just become a lord, and my methods were mediocre; I only managed to kill a few progenitors." Luo Feng grinned. "Recently, my strength has improved. If another war breaks out, I'll definitely give you an even bigger surprise!"
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor immediately realized this.
Thinking of that terrifying 'Primal Chaos Great Destruction'! Luo Feng's strength has clearly improved further, and his methods will definitely be even more troublesome.
"It's good that your Cultivator Faction can bear the consequences!" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor coldly left behind these words before his figure turned into nothingness and disappeared without a trace.
Luo Feng stood in mid-air.
"Start another war? Do you have the ability?" Luo Feng sneered inwardly.
It's not that we look down on the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, but rather that the Cultivator Faction and the Innate Primal Chaos Faction have been fighting for too long, and both sides know each other too well.
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor certainly has the strongest appeal within the Innate Primal Chaos Faction, but it is still limited!
First, those progenitors of races who didn't really need 'Source World resources' were unwilling to go to war! Those progenitors who were weak and in danger of dying were also unwilling to go to war.
The Giant God Emperor faction also dislikes war.
How many progenitors can the Infinite Serpent Ancestor recruit to join the war?
Keep in mind that all eight Xing Zhe lords are immortal! Of the progenitors of the Innate Primal Chaos Faction, only five are immortal; the other hundred or so are all at risk of death. Without sufficient advantages and safety, how many would be willing to participate in the war?
"Just by killing a few thousand World-tier Primal Chaos, you can start a war?" Luo Feng didn't believe it, and neither did the Starlight Lord could see countless possibilities in the future!
The Innate Primal Chaos Faction, with the Nine Sovereigns' incarnations gathered together.
"Luo Feng is even stronger! Once the battle begins, the casualties will be unpredictable," Initial Chu said.
"Luo Feng didn't kill indiscriminately. As long as he doesn't devour the Source World's essence, there's no conflict," the Giant God Emperor said. "Infinite, I think your Infinite Clan is too concerned about the Source World's essence. Occasionally cutting off the Source World's essence might be more helpful for the evolution of the Life Core."
"If we don't have the strength, forcing a war will only make us look more humiliated!" the Ancestor of Black Tide said calmly.
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor looked at the scene before him.
Even within the Nine Sovereigns, few are willing to start a war, because it doesn't affect their interests.
"Are we just going to let Luo Feng bully us?" the Nirvana Ancestor said. It longed for war to break out. Its old friend, the Endless Ancestor, was already immortal, but it was still lacking in that regard.
"It can't be called oppression," the Endless Ancestor smiled. "The Two Great Camps often clash, and Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform also enter Cultivator Domain to seize resources. Compared to the Starlight Lord, what Luo Feng did was much more moderate."
The former Starlight Lord killed tens of thousands of World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform in order to collect Innate Primal Chaos Bloodline!
Luo Feng at least had some sense of reason, and only targeted World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform that devoured the Source World.
The Xingmang are ruthless; they slaughter each other one by one simply to complete the bloodline!
"It is not suitable to start a war," the Mother of Space-Time suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
The other eight all looked towards the Mother of Space-Time.
While the Mother of Space-Time, unlike the Xingmang, cannot observe countless future timelines, she can still foresee a small portion of the future. The other eight individuals highly value the Mother of Space-Time's opinions.
"I can see it," the Mother of Space-Time said. "The outcome of this war will be unfavorable to our Innate Primal Chaos Faction!"
The Mother of Space-Time has witnessed a war even more devastating than the last one!
The Cultivator Faction may pay a certain price, but the price paid by the Innate Primal Chaos Faction will be much more painful.
"Wait a minute," the Yanhuo Progenitor. "Isn't Luo Feng exploring the Abyss of Destruction? The deeper he explores, the greater the danger. He will also reveal more of his strength. Once we see his true strength, we will be better prepared even if war breaks out in the future."
"Alright, let's wait and see." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor also knew that it couldn't be pushed forward, and compared to other lords, Luo Feng's strength was indeed a mystery.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to better dealing with them.
"Both Demon Ruins and Shazhou are warlike. If Luo Feng fights them... he will definitely reveal more of his strength." The Yanhuo Progenitor was quite expectant.
Five hundred years have passed since Luo Feng intercepted and devoured the World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform of the Source World.
For five hundred epochs, no World-tier Primal Chaos beings dared to devour the 'Source World Resources', not even the progenitors.
For some newly emerging, weaker progenitors, consuming the origin of the Source World still has some effect. However, as their strength increases, the effect of the Source World's origin diminishes.
For beings at the level of the Nirvana Ancestor, consuming even more Source World is of no use.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~"
Beside the Origin Continent Source World Continent, in the Mysterious Land of 'Blood Crane Territory', the Boundless Blood Sea surge.
On an island deep within the sea of blood, Luo Feng, dressed in black with black hair and draped in a blood-red robe, sat cross-legged!
"Over five hundred epochs, I have witnessed the history of all the Source World." Luo Feng's eyes were filled with complex emotions. During these five hundred epochs, his numerous avatars traveled to various places, observing the history of each Source World.
Luo Feng not only looked at everything outside the Cultivator Domain, but also at all the Source World within the Cultivator Domain.
The Source World within the territory can be divided into two periods—the period ruled by lords and the period ruled by the naturally formed primordial forces! During the period ruled by the naturally formed primordial forces, the Source World within the territory were equally miserable, left to be devoured at will.
The rise of lords, who then established their rule over various regions, changed the situation.
Only then did countless Source World have hope!
"Buzz".
All the historical memories of countless Source World reside in Luo Feng's heart.
These memories repeatedly forged Luo Feng's heart, forging that Destruction Heart within him.
The amount of these memories is enormous, encompassing countless civilizations and the lives of countless beings. Yet, as a lord, Luo Feng was still able to perfectly integrate all of these historical memories.
A living being's experiences shape its soul.
This incredibly profound 'historical memory' also influenced Luo Feng's inner world.
"The more you love this world and these countless lives, the more you need an unshakable 'Destruction Heart'."
"Because being merciful to those Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform who devour the Source World is being cruel to the Xing Zhe race."
"The greatest mercy one can show to the Xing Zhe race is to destroy all those who devour the Source World!"
Anyone who devours the Source World, and any living being within Source World, shall be killed without mercy! Not a single one shall be spared!
Luo Feng's current influence can temporarily affect those born from Chaos Realm beings to devour the Source World, but in the long run, those born from Chaos Realm races will not be able to tolerate it! At that time, the Innate Primal Chaos Faction may join forces with the Ice Peak Faction and all the weaker forces!
"Destroying all Source World Devourers—that's a huge goal!"
"Even if I comprehend the Primal Chaos Blade Path, I may not be able to do it."
"But I, Luo Feng, am willing to work tirelessly, like the Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains, step by step, for the endless years to come." Luo Feng learned a lesson from his interception of the World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform: once you start doing something, you will achieve results.
With every bit of strength comes a corresponding result.
By doing so, one will indirectly protect countless lives.
Luo Feng smiled.
"The Destruction Heart is complete. The next step is to unite the heart with the Dao and become one!" Luo Feng immediately tried it. The Destruction Heart governed the entire Primal Chaos Blade Path, and countless sword Dao mysteries began to integrate into one.
Luo Feng's aura began to change, becoming like a destructive blade, its destructive aura far more terrifying than that of 'Gold' and 'Kav Xiu'...
