Extreme—Ultimate Power

Extreme—Ultimate Power

"If I directly break through to the Extreme Realm, then according to what Source Heaven Emperor said, I'll likely exhaust this entire world's fate and destiny. When that happens, the world's remaining rules will instantly shatter, and the world itself will directly enter its final stage of destruction."

As Luo Feng frowned, he sensed the condition of the Nine Nether True Body. Based on what he currently understood, this situation should very likely allow him to achieve a breakthrough.

Breaking through his own shackles and limitations, reaching a new level of life!

Luo Feng sensed that, amid this burning, his soul was being incinerated bit by bit. Yet within that burning, purer and more powerful Soul Power was left behind.

What astonished Luo Feng was that the Dao Intent Taboo Secret Markings and Soul Taboo Secret Markings constructed within his soul fused together in this burning, completely merging with his soul.

Luo Feng felt that the level of his soul was clearly rising.

However, the process was extraordinarily painful—more painful and terrifying than any he had experienced before. Once his mind became unstable, his soul would directly turn into nothingness in this burning.

Whoosh!

Because their consciousnesses were shared, both of Luo Feng's true bodies were gasping heavily. The Void Flames around the Nine Nether True Body grew increasingly intense, causing Luo Feng's expression to gradually turn savage.

Beside him, the Devil Blade True Body had no choice but to sit cross-legged under that extreme pain, enduring it bitterly.

Though painful, his soul was transforming within that burning. Moreover, under the influence of his soul, his fleshly body was also changing—or rather, his Dao Intent Power was changing. Naturally, the Dao Intent Power became more solid and began to contact and merge with the power of his soul body.

Though time passed swiftly, every minute and every second was unbearable torment for Luo Feng.

Whoosh!

Finally—

Luo Feng sensed that his refined soul combined with his refined Dao Intent Power, forming a single drop of even more powerful and terrifying strength. This drop of power alone far surpassed the Devil Blade's Dao Intent Power. At this moment, his soul had nearly been completely consumed by the burning.

This drop of power directly appeared at the origin of the Nine Nether True Body, floating within the Source Space.

Only then did the pain in Luo Feng's body finally recede.

His consciousness entered the Source Space and observed that wisp of power—Ultimate Power!

I thought my body would directly transform into an Extreme Realm body. It seems that to reach that step, it still needs to undergo the guidance and transformation of this drop of power. Luo Feng thought to himself. The exhaustion on his face vanished, replaced only by a sharp gleam.

His attention settled on that drop of power. That single drop gave Luo Feng the sense that the energy it contained might be more terrifying than all the power of the Devil Blade True Body and the rest of this Nine Nether True Body combined.

This body of his also needed to use this most primordial "Core Power"—Ultimate Power—to complete its breakthrough. Luo Feng guessed that this was the core power of the Extreme Realm, as well as the power that made the Extreme Realm undying and indestructible. So long as this drop of power remained, even if the true body perished, it could rapidly recover.

Thus, at this point, the breakthrough could essentially be considered complete.

He could break through into the Extreme Realm at any time.

Luo Feng only needed to activate that wisp of power. With a point breaking into a line, a line transforming into a plane, and a plane transforming into a body, he could rapidly elevate his life level in nearly every aspect and directly reach the Extreme Realm level of life.

"The Extreme Realm... once I break through, the fate and destiny of the entire world will be completely absorbed and exhausted. At that time, all remaining rules will instantly collapse, and the world will completely enter a state of extinction. The overwhelming majority of life will fall into death in that instant. I still can't take this step directly. There are still some things I need to do."

Luo Feng had not expected that this period of seclusion would directly bring him to this point.

But there was still far too much life in the world. He needed to gather all those lives and preserve their existence as much as possible.

Furthermore, the Star Tower still needed to refine the Axis of Space-Time and transform. If the treasure was not strong enough, could he truly be a match for the Nine Nether Great Emperor?

Although his life-bound treasure had been initially forged, it still needed further nurturing and improvement. He still needed time to accomplish all this.

More importantly, there was also the Devil Blade body—

Luo Feng's attention shifted to the Devil Blade body. "My Devil Blade True Body should also reach that step. It would be best to first construct the Soul Dao."

With that thought, Luo Feng's Devil Blade True Body sat down cross-legged again and began the same process as before.

The entire process went much more smoothly this time, and Luo Feng proceeded with confidence.

"Hmm?"

However, when he reached the final step, the same scene did not occur. Within the Devil Blade True Body, the two kinds of Eternal Dao Secret Markings did not fuse together. This left Luo Feng somewhat bewildered. It seemed that the Devil Blade True Body had much higher requirements.

"What's going on? The Nine Nether True Body and the Devil Blade True Body aren't equal?" Luo Feng frowned.

"Could it be that my level of comprehension still isn't enough?"

Luo Feng immersed his mind and focused entirely on constructing the Eternal Dao within the Devil Blade True Body. Before long, he once again entered deep comprehension and construction.

In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred eras passed within.

After a round of attempts, Luo Feng helplessly opened his eyes.

"There's no clue at all. I feel that for a long time now, I've already been unable to advance any further. Yet it feels like I'm only missing a trace, and I don't know what exactly I'm missing..."

"The Demon Blade is the Eleventh Extreme. Source Heaven Emperor meant that it stands equal to the Heavenly Dao, perhaps even beyond the Heavenly Dao... Could it be that ordinary methods cannot reach the Extreme Realm? Do I need to truly bring the Eternal Dao of the Blade to its utmost limit and directly form Ultimate Power through Dao Intent Power?"

Luo Feng could only speculate.

"It will probably be much harder for the Devil Blade True Body to break through into the Extreme Realm. If my Nine Nether True Body breaks through first, will the Devil Blade True Body be unable to break through because it no longer has fate supporting it?"

Countless thoughts arose in Luo Feng's mind.

This was far too unexpected. The Nine Nether True Body had clearly succeeded, yet the Devil Blade True Body had failed. Its peculiar nature was displayed to the fullest.

Source Heaven Emperor had said that Luo Feng might only be able to break through with one body. If his other body were to break through as well, it could only do so after the first true body had broken through.

That seemed somewhat contradictory. Once fate and destiny were gone, could the other true body still break through?

Or did the other true body's breakthrough require the guidance of power related to the first true body?

Luo Feng could not think of an answer.

Moreover, at this point, there was likely no more time for him. If he wanted the Devil Blade True Body to combine the two Eternal Daos, it would probably be even more difficult. The remaining time was simply not enough.

Even Luo Feng had no absolute confidence.

"Let's see whether Dao Intent Power can fuse with Soul Power."

Setting those thoughts aside, Luo Feng still attempted to merge his soul with the Devil Blade's power in the next moment—

"It worked!"

To Luo Feng's surprise, this time he easily fused the two powers together, forming a Demon Blade version of the "Undying Blade Body." Furthermore, the fusion of these two powers created an even stronger kind of power.

Just like with the Nine Nether True Body before, this fusion was probably still not perfect enough.

Whoosh!

A more vast and powerful aura radiated from Luo Feng's entire body, primarily carrying the sharp intent of Dao Intent Power.

At the same time, Luo Feng felt that powerful sensation, just as when the Nine Nether True Body had reached this stage.

Because the two powers had fused, not only would his own strength increase, but his Starfire Soul Blade would also become stronger. It could be said that both internally and externally, he had been greatly enhanced.

"If I had possessed this strength before, I should have been able to kill Crimson Three Immortals."

"Now, my Nine Nether True Body can break through into the Emperor Extreme almost at any time. Before breaking through, I can even use this drop of Ultimate Power to condense some Extreme Realm power."

This transformation process was really just like passing power through water.

A sharp gleam filled Luo Feng's eyes, and a trace of killing intent surfaced deep within them.

Crimson Three Immortals—Luo Feng dreamed of killing him!

"Before that, there are still some unsettled matters that need to be resolved." The first person Luo Feng thought of was Crimson Three Immortals.

During the time Gold Sky King's true body had been suppressed, Luo Feng had not dared to gamble on whether the Nine Nether Great Emperor knew of it. Thus, he had not dared to stop for even a moment.

Only now, when he felt that he could break through into the Extreme Realm, did he relax somewhat.

However, time was still pressing. There were still many things to do, and he needed to use this time to settle everything that should be settled.

In addition, during his seclusion, the Star Tower had completely refined Gold Sky King's body. Whether it was the tower body's strength or the changes in the Star Tower's internal space, both received tremendous positive feedback:

Every level of space was vast enough to rival a Dao Territory World. On that foundation, its sealing power and Devouring Power had likely increased by no less than fifty percent compared to before.

As for the strength of the tower body, Luo Feng had never doubted the Star Tower. Apart from the Nine Nether Great Emperor, whose Void Power might be able to destroy it, other powers likely could no longer accomplish that.

"Old Nine... all of you, come to my place. I have something to discuss with everyone." Luo Feng also sent messages to these Extreme Realm experts.

Though these Extreme Realm experts had all left avatars in the Star Tower, they had gone off to explore the Star Tower world. As Luo Feng symbolically notified them, power also swept up their avatars and teleported them to the conference hall.

Within the great hall, all ten Extreme Realm experts had arrived.

"Everyone." Luo Feng looked toward the ten Extreme Realm experts present and spoke directly. "I gathered everyone today mainly to tell you some good news. I have now condensed Ultimate Power. As for breaking through into the Extreme Realm, it is only a matter of whether I choose to do so."

He had condensed Ultimate Power?

The moment those words came out, the Extreme Realm experts—including Old Nine and Azure Thunder Xuan Ling—showed delighted expressions, while their hearts were equally shaken.

The Emperor Way's breakthrough into the Extreme Realm was this easy?

Of course, that was not the most important matter. The most important thing was that the shadow of the Nine Nether Great Emperor hanging over them could be dispelled somewhat. Ever since Luo Feng had told them of that matter, even though they had prepared for the worst, they had remained worried that this world would enter a period of complete destruction.

Now that Luo Feng could reach the Extreme Realm, they at least had a chance to struggle.

"Besides sharing this news, I gathered everyone here today because there is another important piece of information to tell you. Once I break through into the Extreme Realm, at the instant I do so, all the remaining rules of the entire Primordial Chaos Space will be destroyed. At that time, the entire world will directly enter its final Great Destruction. Everything will collapse, and all life will directly perish."

"When that time comes, I'm not certain whether your Dao Territories will also suffer damage. That is why I'm informing you in advance, so you can make preparations."

"I think it would be best for you to gather the lives you care about first and send them into your Inner Worlds. Or, you can refine your Dao Territories into your bodies. Not only can that increase your strength, it can also preserve more life through this Great Destruction."

Luo Feng did not know whether those constructed Dao Territories would be affected by this Great Destruction.

Once all rules collapsed, the forces supporting this world's existence might completely descend into chaos and destruction. The reason Dao Territories had remained intact during the Great Destruction before was actually related to the Highest Heavenly Dao Rules. Now that even the Heavenly Dao Rules were gone, who knew what might happen?

Old Nine nodded. "This Great Destruction truly is unusual, just as you said. Once shattered, it cannot be nurtured again. I don't think Dao Territories will necessarily be spared either. I'll choose to refine my Dao Territory into my body."

"Besides the lives within your Dao Territories, I suggest that you help save whatever other life you can throughout the Primordial Chaos Space. This Great Destruction will arise because of me. If we can save more, I'll feel somewhat more at peace." Luo Feng continued, looking toward the other Extreme Realm experts.

The Extreme Realm experts born through seizing the rules possessed smaller Dao Territory Worlds, but they could still carry many lives.

"Understood. We will do this," Thunder Emperor said.

In truth, within the current Primordial Chaos Space, much life had already become unable to adapt. Large-scale and mass death had begun. Those below the Primordial Chaos Realm could barely adapt to the environment and could only head toward extinction in advance.

"Life itself is a miracle of this world. We should protect whatever we can," Life Heavenly Lord said, nodding as well.

Luo Feng nodded. "The current Primordial Chaos Space has already reached a state of absolute turmoil. True Great Destruction is actually close at hand, so we must make our final preparations as well. I hope that more life can remain, even if we don't know whether this world can continue to exist."

"Also." As Luo Feng spoke, his expression became even more solemn. After sweeping his gaze across Old Nine and the others, he said, "I need to reclaim the Emperor Power that you refined. This concerns my own control over power. Every additional power will provide another measure of help to my strength."

Refining the corresponding Emperor Power would at least allow him to rapidly control the corresponding Eternal Dao. This was naturally much faster than Luo Feng comprehending it himself, and it was also a way to improve his strength.

"No problem. Once my true body arrives, I'll extract the power," Old Nine said with a smile, agreeing immediately.

"I have no problem either," Infinite and Thunder Emperor both said.

They understood what mattered most.
