Void of Exile Chapter—Perception

"Great God Heaven has no avatars?" Luo Feng muttered to himself. It was the first time he had learned of this.

Moreover, even Zuo Xin did not know whether this world had an ultimate realm. The mysteries of this world were probably far more terrifying than anything he could currently understand.

"Of course. Throughout history, Great God Heaven experts have entered this place before. Unfortunately, they must have drawn the attention of certain people back then. Several joined forces and killed them. Over time, even Primordial Chaos Godfiends like us who barely survived could only keep a low profile if we wanted to live." Zuo Xin also spoke of what he knew about Great God Heaven.

As he spoke, his eyes grew complicated. The past of this world was too painful to recall.

If not for a Dark Realm Race expert unexpectedly helping him back then, he would likely have fallen long ago.

At this moment, he looked toward the center of the tribe. The Dark Realm Race's prince was currently making a breakthrough. Before long, he would complete his bodily transformation as well.

Luo Feng was still immersed in Zuo Xin's words, his heart feeling heavy.

He had been thinking of how to reach the Jiang Chen Ancient Underworld Kingdom and search for Sword Demon, Hundred Stay Immortal, and the others. Now that he knew there was no way out of this world, he suddenly felt somewhat empty inside.

However, he did not become discouraged because of this. His next goal was to live for something extraordinary... This was a world filled with challenges and dangers. A world like this stirred an immense desire for conquest within him.

To survive, and to accomplish what the former Primordial Chaos Godfiends could not—this was the meaning he found in his heart.

At that moment, without Luo Feng even noticing, the Emperor Heart within the Dao Intent World in his body visibly stirred.

Conquering everything and standing at the pinnacle were what an emperor sought to do.

An emperor desired to stand above all others, at the very peak of the world, to behold the finest scenery and receive the reverence of all living beings.

Zuo Xin withdrew his gaze and looked at Luo Feng again. He immediately seemed to see something, and a trace of anticipation appeared in his eyes. This fellow was not so simple. Perhaps he would become the next Sword Demon.

The Luo Feng he saw should be very pure.

That was right. Luo Feng did not even know that God Heaven Realm cultivators could not have avatars. Perhaps Luo Feng had no background in Primordial Chaos Space. The reason he had come this far and acquired the Emperor Blade was likely more due to his own purity.

"You should focus on refining that Netherworld Heart first. Once Your Highness Ze Ji Er Qi completes his breakthrough, we will leave this place. You should come with us then. It is not safe for you to be alone."

"The method for refining the Netherworld Heart is simple. You only need to envelop and touch it with Soul Power. Just absorb its power, but keep hold of your true heart and do not let it influence you," Zuo Xin said.

"Yes, Uncle Zuo." Luo Feng nodded and immediately sat down cross-legged.

Outside, Luo Feng left behind only a weak avatar, while his true body entered the Star Tower.

Naturally, his true body would be the one refining this Netherworld Heart.

Looking at Luo Feng's avatar, Zuo Xin was slightly surprised by the armor it wore. He also sensed a faint aura from it. It seemed to be the same as that golden giant tower.

He had not paid much attention to it earlier and only noticed it now.

He shifted his gaze again toward the direction of Great You Kingdom. Vaguely, fluctuations were spreading from there. Presumably, now that the true body of the Great You Kingdom Ruler had been destroyed, so long as his avatar could not recover instantly, the others all had a chance to become the new ruler—as long as they could obtain control of the Nether Pool.

Within the Star Tower's Source Space.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged in the void, the Netherworld Heart appearing in his hand.

"Uncle Zuo said I only need to infuse it with Soul Power," Luo Feng thought. The Netherworld Heart in his hand immediately entered the Source Space of his Inner World.

At the same time, countless intangible forces surged from Luo Feng's golden soul, enveloping the Netherworld Heart.

The instant his Soul Power touched the Netherworld Heart—

Boom!

Luo Feng only felt his head roar as a powerful and bizarre bloodfiend Will Impact rushed directly toward his soul and will.

Since leaving for Primordial Chaos Space, he had never encountered such a terrifying Will Impact.

Even he did not know what level his own will had reached.

Peak Primordial Chaos Realm?

Primordial Chaos Realm limit?

This impact was far stronger than when he had obtained the Primordial Chaos Heart in the Black Emperor Palace. He had no idea what level it had reached.

In an instant, Luo Feng seemed to arrive at a terrifying battlefield of slaughter. Severed limbs and mangled bodies lay everywhere, corpses covered the land, and a bloodfiend aura surged straight toward his soul.

Luo Feng recalled Zuo Xin's words. He needed to guard his mind.

When he had heard those words earlier, he had already realized that refining this Netherworld Heart would not be easy. After all, this was something that only existed within God Heaven Realm lifeforms.

Outside.

Seeing the reaction of Luo Feng's avatar, Zuo Xin immediately knew that Luo Feng had begun the refining process.

"This Netherworld Heart is not considered top-tier. I erased Xi You's mark from it, so the Will Impact it contains should not be too strong. At most, it is only slightly above the Primordial Chaos Realm limit. Still, I hope this brat can endure it. Since he awakened the Emperor Heart, his will has at least reached the Primordial Chaos Realm limit. As for whether he can withstand a slightly higher level, that depends on his temperament," Zuo Xin thought.

He had deliberately said nothing earlier because he wanted to see Luo Feng's level of will.

Even if he did not succeed the first time, it would not matter much. After trying several more times, once his will improved, he would gradually be able to do it.

Of course, even Luo Feng himself did not know his own level of will. His will had transformed several times. Whenever his soul strengthened, his will would strengthen as well; whenever his state of mind transformed, his will would also grow stronger. Luo Feng's will had undergone several transformations.

Now, it had indeed reached the limit of the Primordial Chaos Realm. Otherwise, he would not have been able to awaken the Emperor Heart.

Within the Source Space, Luo Feng silently endured the bloodfiend Will Impact from the Netherworld Heart.

At this time, the power within the Netherworld Heart began gradually merging into Luo Feng's soul. Strands of black power seeped into it.

As that power merged with his soul, Luo Feng felt that aside from sensing the Will Impact growing stronger, there seemed to be no other adverse effects.

What Luo Feng did not notice was that his soul aura was slowly changing, becoming more like that of a lifeform from this world.

Time passed.

Within the Star Tower's Source Space, Luo Feng's true body furrowed his brow tightly. The Will Impact he sensed was growing more and more powerful, to the point where it had begun affecting him. Sweat covered his body.

At the same time, veins bulged across Luo Feng's face, and his body could not help trembling.

The bloodfiend Will Impact had now exceeded the scope of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

However, Luo Feng's heart was like a blade. The Will Impact he could endure was somewhat stronger than what his actual level suggested. Yet even though he could endure it, it was still strenuous.

That was Luo Feng's current state.

By now, nearly half of the Netherworld Heart had melted away, all of it merging into Luo Feng's soul.

Watching Luo Feng's faintly trembling body, Zuo Xin saw that this state had continued for quite some time. The tightly furrowed expression beneath his mask relaxed slightly.

Since he had persisted this long, there should be no problem completing the refinement.

After all, refining a Netherworld Heart should not be difficult for Luo Feng.

Soon, Luo Feng's expression calmed. The veins on his face vanished as well. Within the Source Space of his Inner World, the Netherworld Heart had completely dissolved, and all its power had merged into Luo Feng's soul.

At this moment, the true body within the Star Tower's Source Space opened his eyes.

He examined his soul. Everything was normal, but there was now an additional strange essence... The Netherworld Heart originally belonged to this world. It possessed a powerful soul-strengthening effect on native lifeforms, yet for Primordial Chaos Godfiends, it seemed to merely form a peculiar power attached to the soul.

With a thought from Luo Feng, that power completely covered his soul. It seemed that the aura belonging to him as a Primordial Chaos Godfiend had been concealed in this manner.

"I'll know once I test it." After leaving the Source Space, Luo Feng went directly to the space where Fan Feng and Qing Qian Shi, the two native lifeforms, lived.

"Master." Both spoke respectfully.

Luo Feng nodded and got straight to the point. "Examine me carefully. Do you sense anything different about me?"

Fan Feng and Qing Qian Shi immediately began sensing him carefully. Before Fan Feng could react, Qing Qian Shi looked at Luo Feng in shock and said, "Master, I can sense it. Master seems completely identical to us native lifeforms. That previous feeling is gone. I can no longer sense that Master is a Primordial Chaos Godfiend."

Hearing this, Luo Feng could not help smiling.

On the Nine Underworlds Continent, in a region extremely far from Great You Kingdom, mountain ranges stretched endlessly. Within one of the peaks stood a Cave Dwelling.

Inside the Cave Dwelling, a figure sat cross-legged.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes. His azure-blue pupils looked mysterious and eerie.

"Zuo Xin, he has finally shown himself. So he fled to such a remote place... Unfortunately, the last Emperor Race Bloodline of the Dark Realm Race is not something a Primordial Chaos Godfiend like you can protect." The figure muttered to himself.

Then, he contacted the Void Refining Ancient Race and other assassins. The best course of action was to send the nearest Void Refining Ancient Race expert there.

The reason he could detect Zuo Xin's location was the Nether Curse Method unique to the Yuan Ming Sha Zhou Race. It was a method similar to Karma Power. Once someone had been planted with a nether curse, the Yuan Ming Sha Zhou Race could sense their location whenever they used their power.

As one of the continent's Ten Ancient Emperor Races, the Yuan Ming Sha Zhou Race naturally possessed unfathomable methods.

The reason they were doing this was, of course, because they had received benefits from the Void Refining Ancient Race.

The Void Refining Ancient Race had also been searching for the Dark Realm Race's Emperor Race Bloodline. As long as they found Zuo Xin, they would naturally find everything else as well... However, the distance was still too great. Even if an expert from the Void Refining Ancient Race arrived, Zuo Xin would likely have already left that location.

All they could do for now was narrow the search area bit by bit.
