External Manifestations
Luo Feng's Blood Shadow Blade can cut through all matter and energy. Now, with the help of six lords, it easily cuts through numerous obstructing forces.
With a flash of light, they completely shook off the obstruction of the progenitor's side.
"Call."
After the interference was greatly reduced, Xingmang's control over spacetime was greatly enhanced, allowing the blade of light to pierce through spacetime instantly, causing the progenitors to lose their pursuit in an instant.
"We can't catch up." The progenitor's side stopped.
"Luo Feng's blade is very special," said the Ice Peak Progenitor. "Any force that tries to stop it seems to split in two."
"Completely unstoppable." Wugu Progenitor agreed. "Even if the blocking force were one or two times stronger, it still wouldn't be able to stop that blade of light."
The Mother of Space-Time said, "Yuan can perfectly integrate different powers, increasing the power of the battle formation several times over! Luo Feng is strong individually, and if he wants to leave, there's nothing we can do to stop him."
"Luo Feng is very strong." The Initial Progenitor also felt the intimidating power of that blade.
"Whether they escape or not makes little difference." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor was in high spirits, his voice echoing around him. "The eight lords are all immortal and indestructible. Even if they occasionally defeat one or two of their main battle avatars, they will quickly recover! So whether they escape or not is not important! What is important is... that Yuan has indeed been severely injured!"
The Yanhuo Progenitor agreed, saying, "Yuan lost all sense of the outside world and was completely powerless to resist. That's why Luo Feng and the others fled in such a sorry state, not daring to fight any further."
"Completely immersed in it, it seems to be working very well." Mogus chuckled softly.
While each of the progenitors present felt fortunate, they also became increasingly wary of Mogus.
How could Mogus, who possessed the highest level of soul power, and with the help of his six companions, severely injure 'Yuan's' mind? Could the other progenitors withstand such a soul attack?
"With some time, he should be able to recover, right?" Ice Peak Progenitor was a little worried, and Shazhou also looked at Mogus.
"Snort."
Mogus said confidently, "I thought he could still maintain some consciousness and exert one or two tenths of his strength. But the actual effect is better than I expected. He has completely lost his senses! According to my prediction, even if he regains consciousness, he will be affected forever."
"Will it be affected forever?" The Ice Peak Progenitor, Shazhou, and Infinite Serpent Ancestor each had their own thoughts.
"Even if he spends a long time, he can only barely suppress the influence, and it would be good if he could exert 50% of his strength." Mogus was quite confident.
"An immortal being can have such a profound impact?" the Wugu Progenitor asked.
"Immortal and indestructible?"
Mogus glanced around and said calmly, "Who declared you immortal?"
The ancestors present were slightly taken aback.
Immortal and indestructible?
This is also a recognized standard.
For example, refining and controlling a Mysterious Land means that because the Life Core is integrated into the origin of the Mysterious Land, the Mysterious Land will not perish, and so will the person himself! And throughout history, Mysterious Land has never been destroyed... Therefore, 'controlling Mysterious Land's is considered to be immortal.
The Life Core can be completely integrated with the highest level of power and can be condensed and manifested in any of its countless clones, which is also considered to make it immortal.
The lords mastered the Dao at the Hunyuan level. The Dao is a part of life. As long as the Dao is immortal, the lords themselves are immortal and are also considered to be immortal and indestructible.
"Immortality is just your own belief," Mogus sneered. "If one day, someone can destroy the Mysterious Land, then controlling the Mysterious Land will no longer be considered immortal. If one day, there is a power that can instantly annihilate all your thoughts, all your clones scattered throughout the Infinite Primal Chaos Space... no matter how much your Life Core tries to hide, it will not be able to escape."
"Even Xing Zhe lords? If we erase their consciousness from the perspective of their souls, and even create new memories for them, do you think they can be considered immortal?" Mogus laughed.
The surrounding ancestors remained silent.
"Only I!" Mogus with absolute confidence, "I possess the highest level of soul power, and no one can affect my soul! My power is dispersed among countless life forms below the progenitor level, and even among countless life forms within the Source World... No one can erase me!"
"Mogus, don't exaggerate." The Ice Peak Progenitor said calmly, "At such a great distance, even if Luo Feng were to send down a wisp of power from afar, he wouldn't be able to kill a World-tier Primal Chaos! So it's impossible to annihilate all of the Ancestor's avatars scattered throughout the Infinite Primal Chaos Space."
"Destroy the Mysterious Land? Refining the Mysterious Land is already this difficult, let alone destroying it? I've never even heard of it."
Although these progenitors cooperated with Mogus, they did not like Mogus in their hearts.
After all...
Mogus not only devoured the souls of countless beings from the Source World, but also the souls of countless Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform. These progenitors could do nothing about it and could only tolerate it.
"Hmph." Mogus sneered, too lazy to pretend.
Aside from Xingmang, none of the other progenitors could do anything to it. Why should it give it any face? It simply looked down on these progenitors; even the so-called 'immortal and indestructible' still had flaws in its eyes.
"Even if Yuan regains consciousness, his strength will be greatly diminished. The threat posed by the combined forces of the eight lords has also been significantly reduced." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor's voice was majestic. "In this battle, we can consider it a great victory."
"Let's head back first and hold a grand victory banquet before you all depart." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor was in high spirits.
"Everyone, do not leave on your own, lest the eight lords attack and kill you one by one," the Yanhuo Progenitor also warned.
We need to travel for several days to get completely away from the Southern River Domain. It will be much safer to disperse on our own then.
Should we disperse now?
The lords could catch up in a short time and defeat them one by one.
"Walk."
"Hahaha..."
The ancestors chatted and laughed, in a very good mood.
"The Cultivator Faction has lost." Some ancestors who did not participate in the battle also watched from afar, such as the Giant God Emperor, the Primal Chaos Beast Ancestor, the Puchen Progenitor, Xiusaiwei, the Demon Ruins, Kav Xiu, the Feather Emperor, the Hermit, and so on.
"The ancestors were ultimately more numerous and had too many ways to cooperate. Now, they used soul techniques to deal with Yuan, and Yuan still couldn't stop them."
"Mogus has a deep hatred for the Cultivator Faction, and I guess he's been preparing this move for a long time."
All those watching the game sighed with regret.
If Yuan cannot recover to his peak, the cooperation of the eight lords will only be 60-70% of their peak, and their deterrent power will be much weaker.
Luo Feng and his six companions, along with Yuan, had already fled far away. With Xingmang's mastery of spacetime, they could ensure that the Ancestor's forces could not catch up.
"Yuan is completely trapped."
The seven lords looked at Yuan at this moment.
Yuan's expression was calm, as if he were asleep.
"Brother Yuan is completely trapped and has lost all contact with the outside world." Wulan looked at this scene and said, "There is absolutely nothing we can do to help him."
"Brother Yuan, he can only rely on himself," Xingmang said.
Luo Feng watched silently as well.
Yuan has always been the most trustworthy member of the entire camp! But now, he has fallen victim to this.
"I believe in Elder Yuan." Jin looked at Yuan, who seemed to be fast asleep. "We are about to rule all the Source World. At this time, no one can stop Elder Yuan."
The seven lords had no choice but to wait patiently.
The inner world of Yuan.
"I'm already a lord, standing at the pinnacle of the Infinite Primal Chaos Space! Why should I humble myself? Actions should be taken decisively!"
"These seven lords are all indebted to me! I am the true leader of the Cultivator Faction! As the leader, I deserve the most and the best! I have given too much; it's time for these lords to give back!"
"Ice Peak, you've bullied me time and time again, and I'll get my revenge! What you owe me, I'll make you pay tenfold!"
"Hahaha, why worry about so much? Just throw it all aside! That's true freedom and ease!"
"I've tolerated the Infinite Great Serpent Clan for far too long, their repeated devouring and slaughter... I am immortal, why should I tolerate it? I'll go and kill them all. Like Xingmang and Luo Feng, I'll slaughter those World-tier Primal Chaos until they never dare to devour Source World again."
"Only by shedding all constraints and being ruthless and merciless enough can one have sufficient deterrent power."
Yuan currently possesses seven consciousnesses.
Besides the self-awareness he had developed over many years, there were also the Six Paths consciousness formed from the vast illusions he had experienced before. These Six Paths realms of consciousness were all naturally conceived and formed in accordance with his true nature.
There's a great deal of freedom!
Some are domineering and forceful!
It's poisonous!
It's all about absolute fairness!
Throughout his years of spiritual practice, his true nature had been suppressed by various external circumstances, but this time it was all guided to form individual consciousnesses.
Every consciousness is naturally formed from countless thoughts within oneself, and is a part of oneself.
The seven consciousnesses naturally vie for control.
"These are not my weaknesses." Yuan's main consciousness sensed the Six Paths consciousnesses. After all, the main consciousness had been tempered over countless years and was the most powerful and stable. One of them could suppress six separate consciousnesses.
While suppressing it, the mental consciousness that can be used for external combat is greatly reduced.
"These are all things I once longed for."
"How could I possibly erase what I desire most in my heart?" Yuan looked at the six fragmented consciousnesses and smiled slightly. "What a Mogus! He can actually use my countless thoughts as nourishment to nurture new consciousnesses. Because they originate from within me, they cannot be erased."
Upon sensing these fragments of consciousness, Yuan knew that he could not erase them no matter how much time passed.
Because many of these ideas... are ones that he approves of.
"The operation of the primordial rules is centered on the origin, which can encompass all rules. It can be light, it can be darkness, it can be benevolent, it can be greedy, it can be ferocious, it can be carefree..."
"These are all me."
Yuan made the decision without hesitation.
With the most powerful main consciousness, it instantly and completely encompassed these six sub-consciousnesses, guiding everything with its own "Primal Chaos Rule Operation Way" Mind-Consciousness System, causing the many consciousnesses to gradually merge into one.
The consciousness of the original began to merge, and cognition began to change.
"Guard the original source!"
"Everything else is just an appearance!"
The main consciousness and the six consciousnesses are merging and influencing each other. The operation of consciousness is like the operation of the primordial rules. The 'origin' remains unchanged, but the external appearance changes infinitely.
Luo Feng and the other six suddenly sensed something and saw that Yuan had opened his eyes.
"Hmm?" Luo Feng and the others were somewhat surprised; they all sensed the change in Yuan's eyes.
In the past, Yuan was peaceful and reserved, and made friends with people from all directions.
But at this moment, Yuan's eyes were full of curiosity, like a newborn baby looking at the world with curiosity.
"Brother Yuan," Jin said, "How are you?"
"Very good."
Yuan grinned, a somewhat exaggerated laugh. "It's been better than ever before! I have to thank Mogus properly; it helped me rediscover myself. This is the complete me, hahaha... Interesting, interesting. I hadn't realized before that the world is actually far more wonderful than I knew."
Different perspectives reveal different scenery.
Yuan has now seen more scenery.
Luo Feng and the other seven lords looked at each other, feeling that this person was quite different from the elder brothers they knew.
"Brother Elder, what is your strength?" Lord Moman pressed.
"No impact," Yuan said confidently. "Absolutely no impact!"
This is also one of the reasons why the original main consciousness chose to merge. Only by merging all the sub-consciousnesses can there be no interference and can the full potential be realized.
"These clothes aren't comfortable either." Yuan felt that the color of the robe was too dull, so he changed the color of the robe to be colorful. He even took off his shoes, revealing his toes, and twisted his toes comfortably before he felt at ease.
All seven lords looked at Yuan.
"Don't get hung up on appearances." Yuan shook his head and said casually, "Let's get down to business. The progenitors haven't escaped too far yet. Let's go and kill them quickly."
Escape?
Luo Feng and the others remained silent. It must have been their lords who were fleeing just now.
"Mogus's soul techniques are quite powerful," Yuan said. "Previously, Mogus, the Nirvana Ancestor, the Thousand-Eyed Progenitor, the Star Net Progenitor, the Myriad-Touch Dragon Mother, the Nightmare Progenitor, Dream Weaver all joined forces against me. If we fight again, we must deal with this soul technique threat first. Otherwise, this soul technique will be used against Luo Feng and against you."
"We must deal with this threat as soon as possible." Minghuang looked at Yuan, whose toes were sticking out, and she couldn't bear to see herself like this.
"Let's unleash our pre-planned long-range killing moves, first eliminating the relatively vulnerable 'Nightmare Progenitor,' then Thousand Eyes, Ten Thousand Tentacles, Star Luo... one by one, killing as many as we can," Yuan laughed. "With each one that dies, the combined attack will lose some of its power. The more that die, the weaker the threat becomes."
"Yuan, are you alright?" Jin asked, somewhat worried about his old friend.
Yuan looked at Jin and chuckled, "I've never had it this good!"
"Then let's set off," Xingmang said.
Luo Feng also suppressed his worries about Yuan, and the eight lords set off together again to chase after the ancestor's side.
The progenitors, having traversed time and space in a grand procession, are returning; they have not dispersed.
"Um?"
"The eight lords have arrived."
The ancestor's side sensed something.
"Has Yuan regained his strength?" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the Ice Peak Progenitor both looked at Mogus.
"Impossible," Mogus shook his head. "He can't recover."
It is incredibly confident.
It underestimated Yuan's current state. Yuan's "Primal Chaos Rule Operation Way" is proficient in many paths, and he is also quite strong in terms of his Mind-Consciousness System. The "Lie Yuan Art" was created by Yuan casually. Since comprehending the Origin System and truly perfecting the "Primal Chaos Rule Operation Way," Yuan's Mind-Consciousness System has become increasingly powerful.
If you were to replace the individual with a stronger one, the fusion of various disparate consciousnesses would only result in an uncontrollable madman. This would be considered 'suicidal behavior'.
However, it stabilized the core of the mind and consciousness.
Hold fast to the essence; everything else is secondary.
