Chapter 147

Luo Feng had long known about this ability of Star Radiance and was not surprised in the slightest. Otherwise, he would not have sent a voice transmission with instructions before Star Radiance even arrived.

After all, Star Radiance had mastered the Eternal Dao of space, one of the most bizarre Eternal Daos. It was only natural that he possessed such a method, and it bore some resemblance to Luo Feng's Dao Intent Doppelganger.

At this moment, the Fifth Ancestor and Eighth Ancestor of the Infinite Serpent Race both changed expressions. Neither had ever fought Star Radiance, so they had no idea he possessed such a technique.

However, it was too late.

When Star Radiance's true body arrived, the freezing power over space-time within the surrounding domain became even stronger. At the same time, the shifting space around them seemed to form countless spatial bubbles, making it even harder for them to escape.

Beneath layers upon layers of space, the distance between them was stretched infinitely. Unable to teleport, they would need even more time.

Of course, the spatial bubbles were only secondary. The void here was also like a swamp, immediately making the Fifth and Eighth Ancestors feel as though they had sunk into a mire.

"Old Eighth, Star Radiance alone is nothing to fear. If you and I join forces, he can't do anything to us. But we must go all out and end this quickly. Only by using our race's innate Forbidden Technique can we kill Luo Feng's avatar." The Fifth Ancestor's voice rang in the Eighth Ancestor's mind.

If it had been Luo Feng's true body, they would have fled without hesitation. But aside from Luo Feng, none of the others possessed such ability.

Even if the other Lords had overall methods stronger than theirs.

The Eighth Ancestor did not hesitate. He immediately burned his source blood and activated the Forbidden Technique as well.

They had never imagined that even the avatars of these two would be so troublesome. Now that one true body with such combat strength had arrived, if they wanted to kill one of them, they could only go all out.

At the same time, they sent word to the First Ancestor of the Infinite Serpent Race. Once two Sequence-level powers arrived, this world they valued would likewise have to be destroyed.

Invisible flames rose from the bodies of the two Snake Dragons, their auras surging to the heavens.

Having completely burned their source blood, their strength rose sharply. At the very least, even Luo Feng's avatar did not dare meet them head-on.

However, the Fifth and Eighth Ancestors knew that their only chance lay with Luo Feng's avatar. Only by killing this avatar of Luo Feng could they possibly succeed.

Thus, without hesitation, both the Fifth and Eighth Ancestors charged toward Luo Feng.

The Fifth Ancestor had already been rather close to Luo Feng. Now that he had gone mad, he held nothing back. A massive phantom seemed to overlay his enormous body, radiating an even fiercer aura, like its ancient soul.

"Die!" The Fifth Ancestor's figure blurred. That figure seemed to pierce through Star Radiance's spatial domain and arrive in an instant. The claw he extended struck directly at Luo Feng's head.

Luo Feng had already been on guard. Sensing the suddenly arriving figure, his expression changed, and madness flashed through his eyes.

His and Star Radiance's target was precisely this Fifth Ancestor.

At that instant, the soul of Luo Feng's avatar began burning. At the same time, using the Soul Power cultivated through Dao Soul Guiding, he unleashed his strongest soul-will secret technique—Soul Severing Blade.

From Luo Feng's eyes, two intangible blades shot forth. As the Fifth Ancestor charged in, they pierced directly into his body.

As his claw struck toward Luo Feng, Luo Feng reacted as well, raising the Blood Shadow Saber before himself and doing his utmost to block the blow.

When Luo Feng's Soul Severing Blade entered the Fifth Ancestor's body, it headed straight for the soul at his heart.

The Fifth Ancestor knew that Luo Feng's Soul Attack was incomparably strange, so he had been extremely cautious. Almost immediately, he activated the soul-defense power at the core of his heart. Yet what left him dumbfounded was that the two blades of power were like real blades. His soul defense was instantly shattered, and the two blades drove directly into his soul.

The instant they entered his soul, the two intangible blades transformed into a sky full of blade light, crashing and twisting through his entire soul.

"Roar!"

Even though he had been mentally prepared and had erected defenses beforehand, when that blade-light-like Soul Power ravaged his soul, the agony was like having his soul torn apart. He could not help but roar in pain.

Even the claw he had swung at Luo Feng slowed slightly. Its power weakened a little, allowing Luo Feng's body to avoid being directly crushed and blasted apart as he withstood the attack.

At that moment, the long-prepared Star Radiance appeared before Luo Feng. His expression was solemn, and vast spatial power surged within him. At the same time, he threw out a cone-shaped palace that pressed directly down upon the Fifth Ancestor.

It was his Palace Supreme Treasure.

Though it had not reached the level of the Star Tower, it was still a High-Level Primordial Chaos Treasure. It was more than enough to suppress a Primordial Chaos Ancestor.

Almost while the Fifth Ancestor was writhing in pain, Star Radiance burned his own soul as he moved to suppress him. He unleashed a Soul Attack technique as well, and two intangible streams of power burst from his eyes, instantly entering the Fifth Ancestor's body.

Already in agony, the Fifth Ancestor's eyes now revealed even greater struggle.

The Eighth Ancestor, who had been about to charge at Luo Feng, saw this scene and could not help but change expression.

"Fifth Brother!" the Eighth Ancestor roared. His voice became a sonic wave that surged toward the Fifth Ancestor, trying to help him break free from his soul's chaos.

Unfortunately, that sonic wave was completely blocked by Star Radiance's spatial power.

Moreover, Star Radiance had acted with incredible speed. All of this had been completed in little more than an instant.

The cone-shaped palace supreme treasure rapidly descended over the Fifth Ancestor. Just as the treasure was about to suppress him inside, he finally awoke from the agony in his soul. He felt waves of tentacle-like power binding him, pulling his entire body toward the bottom of the palace supreme treasure.

This immediately filled him with panic.

"No!" Struggle filled his expression.

At the same time, having already burned his source blood, he dared not hold anything back now. In that instant, he completely ignited the source blood in his heart. Dark crimson radiance flickered from his body, mixed with a trace of silver light.

The small amount of spatial origin power he had refined into his source bloodline was also burned at this moment.

If he wanted to break free from all this, he had to pay any price.

Sensing the Fifth Ancestor's aura, Luo Feng's expression immediately changed. "Star Radiance, don't let him escape!"

Though this was only an avatar of Luo Feng, he did not hesitate in the slightest. At this moment, he completely burned his soul as well, while his body unleashed the strongest saber move he could currently erupt with—Will Can Shatter the Heavens. Empowered by Star Radiance's spatial power, it instantly appeared beneath the body of the Fifth Ancestor of the Infinite Serpent Race.

Of course, it was not only this saber strike. Luo Feng once again used the remaining Soul Power within his body to unleash Soul Severing Blade.

A two-pronged attack, all to ensure that this fellow had no chance whatsoever to turn things around.

Star Radiance also launched another all-out assault. His body instantly appeared beside the Fifth Ancestor, completely entangling him with the strength of his own body and forcibly dragging him into the Palace Supreme Treasure.

With such attacks, what could the Fifth Ancestor do even if he fought desperately? He wanted to use an escape method, but another soul assault struck him, his body endured that saber blow, and Star Radiance tangled him up. His body still continued sinking toward the base of the suppressing palace supreme treasure.

He had no possibility of escape whatsoever.

"No, Old Eighth, save me!"

The Fifth Ancestor cried out in terror. At this point, he no longer had even the slightest chance if he relied on himself alone.

The Eighth Ancestor's expression turned horrified at the sight. Even though he was here, he could not provide the necessary help. Before he could even rush over, the Fifth Ancestor might already have been suppressed. Then he himself might be next.

"No, I have to leave now. I can only wait for the First Ancestor." Such a thought flashed through the Eighth Ancestor's mind.

The Fifth Ancestor had refined a trace of spatial origin power and was stronger than him to begin with. Going over would be nothing but suicide.

With that thought, he did not hesitate any longer. He transformed into a streak of black light and fled toward the distance.

The Fifth Ancestor's figure drew ever closer to the bottom of the cone-shaped treasure. Having reached such a place, even if he desperately used every method he had, he could no longer escape. Seeing Old Eighth flee faster than anything, his heart was instantly filled with utter coldness and despair.

It's over. It's over.

He had given up struggling.

His only remaining hope was that their First Ancestor could save him. No one else possessed such strength or methods.

Darkness filled his vision. As space-time turned upside down, his figure arrived directly within a completely sealed, enclosed space. Once he arrived there, even as an Ancestor, his power was invisibly affected by the rules of this place. Streams of intangible force penetrated his body, completely sealing his power and even imprisoning his soul.

"It's over." The Fifth Ancestor's heart was as dead as ashes.

Recalling how the Eighth Ancestor had fled without even looking back, he could not help feeling bitter.

Indeed, even if Old Eighth had come to help him, he would still have been suppressed without question. They might even have lost another one, making the losses even greater.

Now, he too had fallen miserably into the hands of the Primordial Chaos Lords.

However, given the current situation, with the strongest Luo Feng's true body having fallen, the Primordial Chaos Lords' side was at an absolute disadvantage. If they wanted to keep these Source Worlds, they could only use him as a bargaining chip in exchange with the Innate Primordial Chaos Ancestors.

What he prayed for now was that the First Ancestor would value his life. Only then would he have a chance to survive.

Outside.

After the Fifth Ancestor of the Infinite Serpent Race was suppressed into the Palace Supreme Treasure, Luo Feng immediately let out a sigh of relief. This fellow they had suppressed might be the key to protecting these Source Worlds.

Luo Feng's true body was trapped in the turbulent region deep within the Space Interlayer. The main deterrent force on the Primordial Chaos Lords' side was gone, so Infinite Great Serpent and the others naturally had nothing to fear. Furthermore, Yuan and Jin Chuan's true bodies were some distance away, while there were many Source Worlds on the other side. If these Primordial Chaos Ancestors acted to destroy those Source Worlds, it would be effortless.

By then, the chances of them nurturing more companions would become much lower.

After all, the probability of an unprotected Source World giving birth to a Lord was far too small. Xing Tian Mo Sha, who had arisen naturally before, had not even cared whether these Source Worlds lived or died. They did not expect any undiscovered Source World to give birth to a new Lord.

Therefore, protecting the Source Worlds was the key to nurturing more companions.

These Source Worlds had to be preserved as much as possible.

"What a pity that one got away." Star Radiance looked in the direction the Eighth Ancestor had fled. That fellow had used the small opening to activate an escape method. Star Radiance could not divide his attention too much, so he had been unable to stop him.

Still, capturing one was an acceptable result.

"One Fifth Ancestor is not bad. This time, my true body became trapped in the deepest part of the Space Interlayer, and I also directly killed the Fifth Ancestor of the Source Heaven God Race. Those fellows will definitely think my true body has fallen. My avatar's strength cannot recover in a short time either, so they will certainly go mad once, especially Infinite Great Serpent."

"With their Fifth Ancestor as a bargaining chip, I believe they will not go too far, unless he truly does not care whether that old fellow lives or dies," Luo Feng said.

His face was slightly pale at the moment.

Clearly, using Soul Severing Blade twice at the limit of what his avatar could unleash had nearly exhausted all the Soul Power within it. It was no longer possible for him to use it again.

Without sufficient Soul Power, his control over divine power and his saber intent would both decline considerably.

Retracting their gazes, the two of them looked toward the World Heart Continent at the same time.

At this point, suppressing or even crushing these Primordial Chaos lifeforms would be effortless for them.

"Those fellows should have already sensed that the aura of their pillars has vanished. If they're smart, they should flee. If they're stubborn, we'll have no choice but to clean them up," Luo Feng said.

"Leave them to me. Dealing with these Primordial Chaos lifeforms is easy." Star Radiance smiled.

At that moment, his body directly split into more than ten avatars. Each of these avatars was stronger than any one of his previous avatars. Using them briefly to deal with these fellows would not affect him in the slightest.

As he spoke, the dozen or so avatars immediately entered the World Heart Continent from different directions.

Luo Feng watched this and nodded inwardly.

Now that they had suppressed a Fifth Ancestor, he finally felt somewhat relieved. At least he now felt that he had a bargaining chip in hand. If all the Source Worlds on their side were destroyed because his true body had been taken into the Space Turbulence Layer, then he would become a sinner... Everything had succeeded because of him, and it might all fail because of him. That feeling truly was not pleasant.

Infinite Old Serpent, you'd better know what's good for you. If you truly want to fight to the end, you will definitely regret it, Luo Feng thought.

Though he could not return to his true body in the short term, once he comprehended the secret patterns beyond the Eternal Leaf, returning would only be a matter of time. By then, his strength might even reach the level of the First Sequence. Killing these Ancestors would be as easy as turning his hand.
