Great God Heaven Takes the Initiative to Help

Great God Heaven—Takes the Initiative to Help

His weak avatar remained within the Black Emperor Palace, while the Black Emperor Palace was inside one of Black Emperor's Dark Realms. Luo Feng guessed that it was now controlled by a puppet lifeform and was still drifting through the entire Primordial Chaos Space.

At this moment, it was not his Nine Nether True Body transmitting information, yet he actually sensed that weak avatar. Moreover, he could clearly sense that the weak avatar's location was rapidly moving toward him.

This meant that Dark Realm was coming toward him.

"Is this interested in me?" Luo Feng grinned.

The Dark Realm's movement speed was nearly comparable to his own.

After Luo Feng's avatar merged back into his true body, he did not hurry to leave. Instead, he remained directly within this Space Interlayer and waited quietly.

Very soon, a strange force of space-time surged before him.

The space-time before him constantly shifted and changed. How did this resemble a world? It was more like a mass of special Space Power. This Space Power was unaffected by the space here. The surrounding space was like water, while that strange mass of Space Power was like a fish swimming within it.

Luo Feng possessed the memories of the Nine Nether True Body, and the Nine Nether True Body had been very familiar with the Space Power of this Dark Realm. Now that he sensed it himself, the two truly felt infinitely similar.

"Luo Feng, come in." A voice came from within that strange mass of Space Power.

Hearing that voice, Luo Feng could not help but feel surprised. It sounded somewhat familiar.

Wasn't it the monkey's voice he had encountered in the Black Emperor Palace?

He remembered that on the Ninth Layer of the palace where the Ten Thousand Souls Ancient Tree stood, he had met that monkey. The monkey had given him a fruit, something resembling a banana, and of course, a token.

Luo Feng did not hesitate and stepped directly inside. He did not believe that this Dark Realm could pose any threat to him. Besides, he still had a weak avatar within it, and he could judge that the controller inside likely harbored no ill intentions toward him.

After a dizzying shift of heaven and earth, Luo Feng entered a distinct stretch of space-time. The surroundings were a vast expanse of white, filled with large amounts of chaotic matter, along with that tree—the Ten Thousand Souls Ancient Tree.

That monkey was still sitting atop the ancient tree.

Wasn't this place the Ninth Layer of the palace attached to the Ten Thousand Souls Ancient Tree in the Black Emperor Palace?

The only difference was that a table had been added beneath the tree, with several fruits on it, all from this very tree.

Luo Feng walked over.

At that moment, the monkey took the initiative to leap down from the tree. Sitting beside the table, it smiled and said, "Luo Feng, come, have a seat. Let me formally introduce myself. I am the manager of the Black Emperor Palace and the controller of this entire Dark Realm. You may call me Leaping Eclipse Monkey."

Although Leaping Eclipse was a puppet lifeform without much emotion, it still possessed memories. Some memories from the past made it feel somewhat awkward. Back then, Luo Feng had kept calling it Senior, while it had called Luo Feng kid after kid. Yet now, this Emperor Blade had grown into one of the top experts in this region.

And Luo Feng had not even seized the Dao yet!

To possess such strength before seizing the Dao meant that succeeding in seizing it was highly likely. Such an existence would inevitably stand on equal footing with Leading Heaven Emperor Lord.

It controlled the Dark Realm at all times. The Dark Realm could not only travel through the Space Interlayers of the Primordial Chaos Space but could also appear within the Primordial Chaos Space itself and enter certain cities, such as Starry Sky City. Even the Starry Sky City Lord might not necessarily be able to detect it.

Therefore, it had learned of the events taking place in the Primordial Chaos Space, as well as some information regarding Luo Feng. Naturally, what shocked it most was Luo Feng's information. It was simply unbelievable.

It had never expected that the Primordial Chaos Realm being from back then would truly grow to this point, possess Dao Soul Guiding, and even fear no Leading Heaven Emperor Lord. What kind of existence was this?

Luo Feng sat down, somewhat surprised. He had guessed the monkey's name, but he had not expected it to actually be called Leaping Eclipse Monkey. It was not only the manager of the Black Emperor Palace but also the controller of the entire Dark Realm.

Back then, Wind God had entered this Dark Realm and obtained some opportunities from it.

"Leaping Eclipse, I'm very happy that we've met again." Luo Feng sat down with a smile. "Back then, I received your gift here, and I am deeply grateful for it. Wind God of my Primordial Chaos Heaven also entered this Dark Realm. I am very thankful for the opportunities Black Emperor gave him. It was those opportunities that gave him the possibility of seizing the Dao. Speaking of which, the fate between us is truly wondrous."

As he said this, Luo Feng's mind stirred. He recalled the strange words Leaping Eclipse had spoken back then. It seemed this monkey also knew something about Leading Heaven Emperor Lord.

That banana was most likely the thing meant to save his life.

"I had always been curious about what those strange words you told me back then meant. Thinking about it now, I finally understand. You actually knew Leading Heaven Emperor Lord's secret." Luo Feng looked at Leaping Eclipse and continued.

Leaping Eclipse smiled. "What you obtained back then was what you deserved. As for your Wind God, his talent was quite good, and he passed some of my master's 'tests.'"

It did not dare say these were its master's games.

Its master had left behind those opportunities because he wanted other descendants to contend for them and then become trapped in his games. If their luck was poor or their strength insufficient, they would all perish.

If not for the fact that it had shown favor to Wind God for Luo Feng's sake, Wind God might not have passed some of the 'games' here. If he had failed, certain Karma methods would have descended upon the outside world. They might not have completely killed Wind God, but they could certainly have injured him.

"As for Leading Heaven Emperor Lord's secret that you mentioned, I do indeed know it. Leading Heaven Emperor Lord extracts the Emperor Seeds of other Emperor Ways. This matter is extremely secretive, and not many know of it. My master only learned of it by accident."

"Precisely because I knew Leading Heaven Emperor Lord's secret, when I saw that you had learned Dao Soul Guiding, I said those words to you and gave you that extra Dark Soul Stone."

"At the time, I was quite curious about your fate. I wanted to know whether a weak lifeform could break free from the fate of being killed by Leading Heaven Emperor Lord. To me, an emotionless puppet lifeform, your life was like a game in which I took part."

"The Dark Soul Stone I gave you might have been able to preserve your life. The Dark Soul Stone isolates Karma. If you nurtured it with your soul, you could leave behind your Soul Power. Even if one day Leading Heaven Emperor Lord extracted your Emperor Way and killed you, the Soul Power within it could condense anew into a seed, thereby preserving your life."

"However, I was not certain whether this method could truly succeed, since that was Leading Heaven Emperor Lord. Looking at things now, you did not end up needing that item. This is the best outcome." Leaping Eclipse Monkey spoke with a trace of reminiscence. Its words were indeed very puppet-like—very direct.

Thus, even now, it found many things unbelievable.

Leading Heaven Emperor Lord had been the most terrifying existence of the previous Annihilation Epoch, comparable to the three Apex Realm experts of the Dao Domains.

As Luo Feng listened, it was just as he had guessed. That banana called the Dark Soul Stone was an item for preserving his life.

He was also fortunate that Leading Heaven Emperor Lord had not acted against him back then. According to Leaping Eclipse Monkey, it could only possibly preserve his life. If Leading Heaven Emperor Lord had truly acted, that item might not have been able to save him.

As for Leaping Eclipse treating him as a pawn in a game, Luo Feng did not think much of it. Leaping Eclipse had merely wanted to observe the course of his fate. It could only observe and could not participate.

"I, Luo Feng, truly should thank you for this kindness." Luo Feng smiled, then continued, "You came to find me this time. Surely it wasn't merely to tell me that this was a 'game,' was it? After all, I still haven't seized the Dao. Everything concerning me has not yet truly ended in victory."

"It is precisely because you have not seized the Dao that I came to find you." Leaping Eclipse said with a smile. "I could not directly participate in your past and could only observe you as an observer. Now, I want to participate. I will help you find a place to seize the Dao, and I will also give you some items needed for seizing the Dao."

"I want to see whether a second Emperor Dao Practitioner can emerge in this world," Leaping Eclipse said.

Luo Feng looked at the old monkey in surprise.

"Rest assured, I know what kind of place you wish to find. An Emperor Dao Practitioner must indeed be extremely cautious when seizing the Dao. Not only must you guard against Leading Heaven Emperor Lord, but you must also guard against the three Apex Realm experts within the Three Great Dao Domains. Perhaps those three Apex Realm experts are your greatest threat."

"Back then, they all acted against Leading Heaven Emperor Lord. If you succeed in seizing the Dao, they may also act against you. As for why they would wait until after you succeed in seizing the Dao, I do not know."

"Therefore, the area where you seize the Dao cannot be within the Ten Great Sky Regions. It must be in the desolate deep space beyond the reach of the Ten Great Sky Regions. Almost no lifeforms venture there, and the area is vast enough. As long as you travel far enough, they will have no way of finding you." Leaping Eclipse Monkey continued.

Luo Feng's eyes lit up. "So you can find such a place?"

This would save him some trouble.

If Leaping Eclipse of this Dark Realm helped him search for such a place, it should be much easier. As long as he moved sufficiently far away from these regions inhabited by life, then in the vast Primordial Chaos Space, Leading Heaven Emperor Lord and the three Apex Realms would likely have no way of finding him.

As for whether Leaping Eclipse helping him carried any hidden danger, Luo Feng did not doubt it.

Because he could not think of any possibility. It was a puppet lifeform, and he still had a weak avatar within it. His two transmissions of information might have affected the entire Dark Realm. Leaping Eclipse could not possibly have been unaware of that. How could it not know where those fluctuations had come from?
