Great God Heaven—Purple-Gold Thunderstone (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader)

Not far from Nine Flowers Dao Territory, within Primordial Chaos Space, lay a vast region that now served as the territory of Chi Xing of Star Sand Sky.

Yuan Tianhun, meanwhile, had concealed himself in nearby Source Worlds or regions to cultivate.

Yuan Tianhun had also comprehended his Eternal Dao to perfection under the limits of the rules. Unfortunately, although he had already broken through that perfection, he still did not dare take the step of constructing his Eternal Dao—his Main Dao was the Soul Dao, while his auxiliary Dao was an Eternal Dao related to illusion. Taking that step quickly within illusions would not be easy.

At Star Sand Sky's headquarters, Chi Xing stood by the railing of the palace, a trace of worry in his eyes. "Luo Feng of Primordial Chaos Heaven... I never expected him to become the second Great God Heaven of the Emperor Way in Primordial Chaos Space. Tianhun has only just broken through the perfection of the Eternal Dao. It will still take a long time for him to take that step."

"If Emperor Luck truly waxes and wanes, Luo Feng's ascension to Great God Heaven will make things difficult for Tianhun."

"Luo Feng and Tianhun have some old grudges between them. Hopefully, he is wary of the old fellow behind the Dao Territory. Otherwise, if he comes here, I have no way of resisting him."

Ever since Leading Heaven Emperor Lord appeared in the Heaven of Annihilation, he had remained there almost constantly, giving them some hope. Since Leading Heaven Emperor Lord had not sought out Yuan Tianhun, perhaps he still possessed some sense of the bigger picture. Naturally, they seized the time to cultivate.

Yet unexpectedly, Luo Feng had emerged in the blink of an eye, and they even had grievances with him.

They still feared that Luo Feng would seek revenge. Moreover, Yuan Tianhun possessed an Emperor Soul. If one could obtain the power of an Emperor Soul, the benefits would undoubtedly be enormous. They could not rule out the possibility that Luo Feng might act.

Besides the possibility of Luo Feng making a move, their cultivation itself would likely face certain restrictions as well.

Sea of Storms, Eye of Rending Wind.

Wind God was still as he had always been, drifting through the Storm Power of the Eye of Rending Wind as he comprehended the Golden Wind Dao, occasionally practicing his own techniques.

Within his Palace Supreme Treasure were Luo Feng and Lord of Fire Devourment.

Luo Feng was mainly refining the Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure and nurturing its spirit. Having gained some experience from the Nine Nether True Body, nurturing a spirit naturally posed no problem for him.

Furthermore, with the abundant treasures left behind by the six Great God Heavens of the Leading Heaven Sect, rapidly strengthening the spirit was no issue. And Luo Feng had indeed done exactly that.

"How strange. Leading Heaven Emperor Lord hasn't appeared here for so long. Could it be that he has no intention of making a move against you?" Lord of Fire Devourment was puzzled.

With Luo Feng's current strength, he had a great chance of seizing the Dao. If Luo Feng succeeded, he would inevitably threaten Leading Heaven Emperor Lord's position. By all reason, Leading Heaven Emperor Lord should have come looking for him.

"In the past, although I hid within the Dao Territory, he could still have used certain methods against me if he wanted to. He has remained in the Heaven of Annihilation all this time. Perhaps he has already found a path upward and does not necessarily need the power of other Emperor Ways."

"Besides, his strength is extraordinary. It is normal for him to look down on my strength," Luo Feng said.

He recalled some information he had obtained in Nine Nether Earth: information concerning Ultimate Power.

Ultimate Power might exist in the Chaotic Space-Time Sea. The Heaven of Annihilation was Primordial Chaos Space's version of the Chaotic Space-Time Sea, and it might contain the same secret. Leading Heaven Emperor Lord knew this, which was why he focused most of his energy on the Heaven of Annihilation.

This was the reason Luo Feng could think of that came closest to the truth.

If the Heaven of Annihilation truly contained that secret, then after he successfully seized the Dao, he would enter it as well. Besides, he had already agreed with the Nine Nether True Body to open a passage between the two worlds. Once the agreed time arrived, he would also need to enter the Heaven of Annihilation.

"That's good. If he doesn't come, we'll have more opportunities. That is exactly what we want to see." Lord of Fire Devourment smiled and nodded.

"First, we should properly strengthen ourselves. Before seizing the Dao, there are still too many uncertainties between us and the Leading Heaven Sect, or between us and the Dao Territory... Of course, if there truly are uncertainties with the Dao Territory, they mainly concern the relationship between me and that person behind the Dao Territory. You, Old Feng, Old Qi, and Gu Sister all came from Three Immortals Dao Territory. You possess endless lifespans in Primordial Chaos Space. If this matter escalates into a conflict between me and that person behind the Dao Territory, you should not get involved."

As Luo Feng spoke, he could not help looking at Lord of Fire Devourment.

As for whether he would conflict with the person behind the Dao Territory, it was only Luo Feng's speculation. He had no sufficient information to prove any of it.

No matter how hard he racked his brain, he truly could not understand what that person behind the Dao Territory intended—

There might not be many Emperor Dao Practitioners in all of Primordial Chaos Space, but there were still dozens of them. If that person behind the Dao Territory wanted, like Leading Heaven Emperor Lord, to extract their Emperor Power, then he could have acted directly when Luo Feng entered the Dao Territory. Luo Feng would have had no power to resist at all.

As for wanting to kill him? That was the same. There was no need to wait until now. He should have acted long ago.

Cultivating him? That was the most likely possibility. Yet the three fellows behind the Three Great Dao Domains all seemed wary of Leading Heaven Emperor Lord, while Leading Heaven Emperor Lord was also guarded against them. This was what Luo Feng found most suspicious. Since they all wanted to make a move against Leading Heaven Emperor Lord, they would not cultivate Luo Feng.

If Luo Feng became a Great God Heaven of the Emperor Way, would those three fellows guard against him too? Eliminate him? Or, after becoming a Great God Heaven, would he need to guard against those three fellows as well?

All kinds of speculation, all kinds of doubts.

It was precisely because the person from Three Immortals Dao Territory had given him a Soul Suppressing Pearl that Luo Feng could never figure out certain matters. He vaguely felt that there was an intention to cultivate him, but Luo Feng could not be sure.

Would that person from Three Immortals Dao Territory be as kindhearted as the Nine Nether Great Emperor? Would he truly help him?

Luo Feng did not know. But Leading Heaven Emperor Lord's caution told him that he too needed to be cautious, just as Azure Profound Monarch had told him to be wary of the Nine Nether Great Emperor. In any case, he had never come into contact with that person cooperating with the Dao Territory. Being more cautious could not be wrong.

Luo Feng had thought a great deal about that person behind the Dao Territory.

"At first, we discussed staying vigilant toward that person. But I feel we can be completely at ease. That person probably has no ulterior motives. If he did, he would have acted when nearly all your incarnations entered Three Immortals Dao Territory. There would have been no need to help us."

"Only one of your incarnations entered. If he wanted to deal with you, even with just one incarnation, he could still kill you."

"So I don't think the possibility of him wanting to kill you holds up."

"Besides, I heard that even those at the extreme realm can leave the Dao Territory. If an extreme realm expert wanted to find you or other Emperor Dao Practitioners, it would be far too easy. That also proves that the possibility of him wanting your Emperor Power does not hold up at all."

"Didn't he give you a treasure? Perhaps he wants to cultivate you. I feel that is the greatest possibility."

"There is most likely no conflict between us and the Dao Territory."

Lord of Fire Devourment spoke with a smile... In the past, the three of them had discussed that, besides being wary of Leading Heaven Emperor Lord, they should also be wary of the person cooperating with the Dao Territory. But Luo Feng's true body had entered there for so long and remained safe and sound, so they had gradually become more at ease, even placing some trust in the Dao Territory.

Just as Luo Feng could not understand it, neither could Lord of Fire Devourment and the others. What reason did the Dao Territory's extreme realm expert have to make a move against Luo Feng? Giving gifts while also intending to act against him was simply too difficult to fathom.

"I hope so." Luo Feng nodded. Perhaps that person behind the Dao Territory truly wanted to cultivate him, then have him enter the Heaven of Annihilation to hunt Annihilation Creatures, just as he had in Nine Nether Earth. That was the most likely outcome.

As for that Soul Suppressing Pearl, Luo Feng had not needed to use it in the past. Now that he had severed his Karma with Leading Heaven Emperor Lord, he had even less need for it. Even if there was a problem with it, Luo Feng would not encounter it.

After that, they chatted casually. Luo Feng's true body continued spending most of its time and effort nurturing the spirit of the Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

There was also his secret art—Undying Soul.

The soul of his true body in Primordial Chaos Space had undergone transformation and strengthening due to his attainments in the Soul Dao. Though it was not as powerful as a Great God Heaven's soul, it was still far stronger than an ordinary God Heaven Realm cultivator's. Moreover, this true body possessed the Purple-Gold Thunderstone, so he needed to put it to use.

Using the Soul Dao attainments transmitted back by the Nine Nether True Body, together with the Purple-Gold Thunderstone, he intended to make improvements to Undying Soul. If he could resist Leading Heaven Emperor Lord's Soul Attack, that would naturally be best.

Furthermore, when his true body in Primordial Chaos Space seized the Dao, the most terrifying threat would likely be the Dao Heart Tribulation. His true body there did not possess the Star Tower and was far weaker in soul defense, so he needed to strengthen his soul to enhance that defense.

Within Wind God's Palace Supreme Treasure, Luo Feng was inside his own Illusory Rift Space, essentially in seclusion.

Luo Feng's mind was primarily immersed in his soul. Compared to before, his soul had become even more powerful. Because he had cultivated Dao Soul Guiding and was currently constructing his Eternal Dao, Luo Feng's soul carried relatively powerful Dao Intent Power, giving it a sharp, cutting essence.

Within Luo Feng's soul was that purple-gold stone bearing a golden essence. It also contained boundless vitality, much like the Purple Thunder Power from before.

Luo Feng's power attempted to control the power within it—

"Hm?" Luo Feng was suddenly stunned. He discovered that when his soul tried to control the power inside, something miraculous happened:

The smooth surface of the purple-gold stone began to show signs of melting with a hiss! Under the influence of his Soul Power, crackling purple lightning began to emerge from within the Purple-Gold Thunderstone. Then, that power merged into his soul, identical to the power within the Purple-Gold Thunderstone.

Back then—

Luo Feng remembered that his soul had been able to merge into it. But now, after his soul had undergone some transformation, he could actually make the power of the Purple-Gold Thunderstone merge into his soul.

As Luo Feng activated his power, more and more energy fused into his soul. Luo Feng felt that the presence of that strand of power imbued his soul with vitality.

"Could it be that once my soul becomes powerful enough, I can make the power of the Purple-Gold Thunderstone merge into it?" Luo Feng seemed to understand. If his soul had not undergone that transformation earlier, then merging the Purple-Gold Thunderstone into his soul would only have been possible after he seized the Dao.

Now, his soul had actually surpassed the limits of the God Heaven Realm, thus giving him the ability to melt the Purple-Gold Thunderstone and merge it into his soul.
