Episode 12: Lord Luo Feng - A New Era

Within the majestic hall of the Innate Primal Chaos Faction, the thoughts of the Nine Sovereigns descended one by one.

"You all saw the battle between Luo Feng and Shazhou, right?" the Infinite Serpent Ancestor asked.

"That strike was truly terrifying!" exclaimed the Nirvana Ancestor.

After Luo Feng fully mastered the Primal Chaos Blade Path, he unleashed a terrifying slash by combining two Chaos Origin-level Daos! That slash pierced through three layers of the Abyss of Destruction, astonishing many ancient beings.

"In history, there has never been a case of someone killing an Ancestor one-on-one," said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor. "But Luo Feng's killing power has already surpassed that of Xingmang and Shazhou! It is at the highest level in the entire Infinite Primal Chaos Space! I have a feeling that he has the potential to kill an Ancestor one-on-one!"

"The progenitors who have lived to this day are not so easy to kill," the Mother of Space-Time said.

At least in some of the futures it foresaw, it did not see a scenario where the progenitor was killed one-on-one.

Those who become progenitors have evolved their Life Core to a level akin to the origin of the Source World, and possess extremely powerful means of self-preservation.

Taking the three former lords of Blood Crane Territory as examples, the Blood Lord possessed the highest level of 'Blood Power,' capable of transforming into a sea of blood. In terms of energy reserves and life recovery abilities, he was only slightly weaker than Luo Feng. The Crane Lord possessed 'Indestructible Power,' essentially a weaker version of Wulan. The Shadow Lord possessed 'Power of Shadow,' equally formidable.

These three were quite ordinary among the many progenitors; they were not qualified to occupy any level of the Abyss of Destruction, nor were they qualified to have a seat in the Eternal Land.

Even the most powerful ones, like the Lotus Prison Mountain Master, could only force the opponent to flee in a sorry state if all eight lords from the Cultivator Faction attacked together.

The most powerful of them are immortal and indestructible.

As for those with significant flaws in their ability to survive? These are extremely rare. In the long history of power struggles, these progenitors were always the first to be eliminated. The Innate Primal Chaos Faction, the Ice Peak Faction, and some other powerful forces in the past have all seen numerous progenitors perish.

"Mother of Space-Time, you see it?" the Giant God Emperor asked.

"The future scenes I've seen don't depict a one-on-one kill of the Progenitor," said the Mother of Space-Time. "But if he cooperates with Xingmang, or with Yuan, he can slay the Progenitor! I see this possibility in the future!"

The other eight felt a chill run down their spines.

Previously, it was usually large-scale wars that led to the fall of the progenitor!

"Can two lords join forces to kill the progenitor?" Yanhuo Progenitor asked worriedly. "Luo Feng can suppress all life fluctuations, and he can suppress all fluctuations of Xingmang and primordial energy."

It is extremely difficult to suppress all fluctuations and prevent the ancestors from sensing them using their many Secret Method of perception.

Because the Secret Method discerning cause and effect, vitality, and other secrets are too difficult to avoid.

However, the Xing Zhe lords are all beings who have mastered the Dao at the Hunyuan level. Luo Feng, Xingmang, Yuan, Moman can all completely conceal themselves, making them impossible for others at the same level to detect. Wulan, Jin, Minghuang, Naigu, on the other hand, cannot conceal themselves.

"Previously, they couldn't launch a sneak attack. Even if Xingmang, Yuan, and Moman joined forces, the power they unleashed was insufficient to destroy an Ancestor in a short time. I was able to immediately descend and provide support through the 'Infinite World,'" said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

The Infinite Great Serpent Clan can descend through the Infinite World, which is what makes them special.

"Yes," said the Mother of Space-Time, "But the power of Luo Feng's attack is too terrifying. He can destroy most of the power of an Ancestor by himself. The Starlight Lord and the Yuan Lord only need to hunt down the remaining power. Therefore, if Luo Feng joins forces with either the Yuan Lord or the Xingmang, they may be able to kill an Ancestor in a short time."

Both Xingmang and Yuan are highly skilled at hunting down remaining forces.

"Times have changed."

"Luo Feng's rise signifies that the entire Infinite Primal Chaos Space has entered a new era," said the Mother of Space-Time. "In this new era, the fall of the progenitors has become easier."

All Nine Sovereigns understood that in the past, large-scale wars were the only occasional cause of the ancestor's demise.

From this moment forward, Luo Feng joins forces with either Yuan or Xingmang, concealing all fluctuations, they could appear beside an Ancestor without warning and kill one in a short time.

"We should also change our strategy for dealing with the Cultivator Faction." The Endless Ancestor was also very serious. Although it was immortal, it still did not want to see the Innate Primal Chaos Faction weaken.

A weaker faction means less resources. As one of the Nine Sovereigns, it receives fewer resources!

"Giant God Emperor, if you still refuse to intervene, once the entire camp weakens, the resources of your Giant God Clan will be jeopardized." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor looked at the Giant God Emperor. "We can't be risking our lives while you enjoy the resources to your heart's content, can we?"

The Giant God Emperor nodded slightly. "I understand. Our Giant God Clan will not shirk its responsibilities."

The Giant God Clan has over ten progenitors, as well as numerous world-class and high-level Chaos Origin-level descendants. As the second largest race in the entire faction, they consume a vast amount of resources.

"Let's change our strategy for future wars," Initial suddenly said. "I suggest prioritizing survival and using killing the enemy as a secondary objective."

"I agree," the Mother of Space-Time said. "During the previous wars, we were all focused on killing the enemy! And we used the Cultivator Faction as a whetstone. When one or two ancestors died, we treated it as 'eliminating' the weak."

"In future battle formations, we need to pay more attention to the ancestors with strong survival abilities, and make them the core."

"Only by doing this can we guarantee absolute dominance," said the Mother of Space-Time.

Battle formations focused on killing enemies, such as combining several progenitors capable of simultaneous soul attacks, increase offensive power but significantly weaken survivability.

"For example, we could take some of the progenitors who mastered the highest levels of 'life force,' 'defense force,' 'water force,' 'earth force,' 'World Power,' 'matter force,' and 'domain force' as the core, ensuring their inviolability," the Mother of Space-Time said, looking at some possible future possibilities.

Although what it sees is far less than the Xingmang.

At least you can see some successful directions and avoid many detours.

An ordinary Xing Zhe lord can usually rival two or three progenitors working together.

Before the Cultivator Faction, even with the seven lords joining forces and their battle power increased several times by the Yuan formation, they were still at an absolute disadvantage! They relied on the Xingmang to observe countless future possibilities, on the Yuan formation to maintain their position, and on the exquisite coordination of the lords' Dao, focusing on 'defense' and occasionally launching counterattacks... Even so, they failed time and time again, and their territories fell time and time again.

After Luo Feng became the lord, the three Giant God Emperor joined the battle! The three Giant God Emperor immediately captured Luo Feng, while the Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the others directly trapped Wulan.

Luo Feng's Primal Chaos Great Destruction caused panic among some of the Primordial Ancestors. They felt it wasn't worth risking their lives to fight a group of immortal lords for the sake of just 3600 world groups, and thus finally ceased hostilities.

"If we don't guarantee the safety of the progenitors, I'm afraid many of the weaker progenitors will be unwilling to participate in the war," said the Nirvana Ancestor.

"I never imagined that we would be forced to arrange our battle formation with survival as the primary objective," sighed the Yanhuo Progenitor.

Who are they?

They are the largest faction, occupying half of the entire Infinite Primal Chaos Space!

The Cultivator Faction, the Ice Peak Faction, and numerous other scattered forces combined to occupy the other half of the territory.

"The Xing Zhe' foundations are now complete," said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor. "From this day forward, they will surpass the Ice Peak Faction and become our greatest adversaries!"

Even though the Ice Peak Faction has 12 immortal beings, it also has 26 progenitors.

However, in the eyes of the Innate Primal Chaos Faction, which consists of more than 120 progenitors, the Cultivator Faction is now a greater threat.

"Countless Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform will continuously emerge, producing World-tier Primal Chaos, and even progenitors," said the Mother of Space-Time. "As long as we prioritize survival and value the life of each progenitor, it will become extremely difficult for Cultivator Faction to kill even one! In the endless, foreseeable future, we will be the most powerful force!"

"It can't be suppressed anymore."

The immortal beings of the Ice Peak Faction understood this after seeing Luo Feng's strike.

At this moment, the Cultivator Faction has officially surpassed the Ice Peak Faction!

"What a terrifying slash!"

The Blood Lord, Crane Lord, and Shadow Lord of the Blood Crane Clan also watched this battle from afar.

They have a grudge against Luo Feng! First, the Shadow Lord led his men to plunder the Cultivator Domain, and then Luo Feng forcibly refined the Blood Crane Territory and seized it. The enmity between the two sides is difficult to resolve.

"We are good at protecting ourselves," the Blood Lord said, looking into the distance. "But Luo Feng is too terrifying now. If five or six Xing Zhe lords join forces to kill us, they could kill us. We have to find a force to rely on."

Previously, relying on their strong ability to protect themselves, they were not in a hurry to join any faction.

"We must pledge allegiance to a powerful force." Crane Lord and Shadow Lord agreed. Luo Feng is far more terrifying now than when he refined the Blood Crane Territory! Had they known Luo Feng could be this terrifying, Shadow Lord would never have dared to plunder the Cultivator Faction' territory.

"The Innate Primal Chaos Faction is the strongest and has been inviting us," the Blood Lord said. "Let's go to the Innate Primal Chaos Faction."

"They are mortal enemies of the Cultivator Faction, and they will definitely protect us," the Shadow Lord agreed.

As the three of them made their decision.

Soon they led the entire Blood Crane Clan to join the Innate Primal Chaos Faction.

The current Innate Primal Chaos Faction is building its battle formation with 'survival as the primary goal', so it naturally welcomes the three progenitors, including Blood Lord, who have strong survival abilities, to join them.

******

Luo Feng had no idea that his strike would usher in a new era.

Its unparalleled strength, surpassing even the Shazhou, gradually eroded the sense of security of ordinary progenitors.

In fact, as the upper limit of an individual increases, the situation of ordinary progenitors is indeed more dangerous! In the future, progenitors will act more cautiously, unlike as casually as they do now.

Even the most powerful Innate Primal Chaos Faction chose to prioritize survival when establishing the battle formation of the progenitors, demonstrating the progenitors' keen insight.

"Shazhou, thanks." Luo Feng left the 27th floor, his figure like a blade breaking through the space-time barrier, and arrived at the 28th floor of the Abyss of Destruction.

Shazhou looked at the 28th floor, where the thirty World Envoy, working together, possessed terrifying power. Both Shazhou and Xingmang had tried to break through this floor, but neither could. However, Luo Feng, carrying a blade of light capable of destroying everything, forcefully cut through all the obstacles of the World Envoy and easily left a life mark on the Primal Chaos Shadow of the 28th floor.

After mastering the 28th floor, Luo Feng didn't rush to continue his ascent. Instead, he stayed there temporarily and began to create a complete combat method based on his Primal Chaos Blade Path.

At this moment, the seven lord avatars in the Initial Land were all smiling broadly.

"Times have changed," Xingmang said with a smile.

From then on, the balance of power shifted!
