Chapter 183

"Soul Ancestor, you've been quite busy lately. You haven't come by in a long time."

The moment this fellow with the body of the Source Heaven God Race appeared within the purplish-red mist, an ethereal voice rang out in his mind.

And this fellow who had obtained the body of the Source Heaven God Race was naturally Soul Ancestor.

Following that voice, Soul Ancestor flashed and entered a Cave Dwelling within the mountain.

The Cave Dwelling was arranged like a magnificent palace, yet everything was purplish-red, giving it an eerie and seductive air.

The central hall at the heart of the Cave Dwelling was immensely spacious, with countless exquisite objects arranged neatly throughout it. At the foremost central position stood a throne, upon which sat an incomparably enchanting figure. Her appearance was exquisite and elegant, as though all the beauty in the world had gathered within her.

She was even like Gui Po, the very essence of beauty in this world.

"Demon Ancestor, I was busy cultivating and didn't come by for a while. It was only during that period. Didn't I come see you often at other times?" Soul Ancestor said somewhat awkwardly.

He was not afraid of Demon Ancestor's strength, but the relationship between them was rather ambiguous.

Soul Ancestor knew that this was merely one of Demon Ancestor's avatars. Her true body was not here.

However, Demon Ancestor possessed certain methods that still left him unable to stop thinking about them. When it came to stirring the Divine Soul, she was a top expert.

"What is it? I have the feeling that you came here for something this time?" Demon Ancestor's beautiful eyes flickered, and she looked delicate and alluring.

"There is indeed something I wish to discuss with Demon Ancestor." Soul Ancestor nodded and spoke directly. "I want to borrow the Soul Suppressing Feather. I'll return it once the matter is done, and there will be a generous reward."

Demon Ancestor's expression turned solemn, and her gaze grew several degrees colder. "You should know the relationship between the Soul Suppressing Feather and me. If you want to borrow it, I will not agree."

Soul Ancestor was not surprised by Demon Ancestor's refusal. After all, a secret treasure like the Soul Suppressing Feather was a Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure. It was now practically Demon Ancestor's Lifebound Treasure, so lending it to him would not be easy.

"Demon Ancestor, you should also know that by chance, I obtained a Dao technique of the Dao of Karma, which I am currently studying. To me, the Dao of Karma places the greatest importance on karma itself. If I carry unresolved karma, I will never be able to master this secret art. Lending me the Soul Suppressing Feather will count as a karmic bond, and I will certainly resolve it in the future. Therefore, your concerns are entirely unnecessary. Furthermore, once this matter is done, I can refine a Spirit Embryo for you as payment. You can use it to condense another avatar nearly equivalent to your true body." Soul Ancestor said.

Upon hearing this, Demon Ancestor narrowed her eyes.

As the ancestor of a special life race, Soul Ancestor's original body consisted only of a soul. They all acquired bodies through certain special methods of possession, and Soul Ancestor was the most unique among his race.

He could split off countless souls. So long as he was not killed through the soul, he could not truly be killed. Even if the Great Destruction descended, he could still survive through certain special methods.

Moreover, it was precisely because of this trait that he possessed extremely high attainments in the karmic branch of the Soul Dao.

Those who studied the Dao of Karma valued karma the most. If they wished to break through to a higher realm, they truly could not have too many karmic entanglements binding them.

Of course, that was only one reason. What truly moved Demon Ancestor was the mention of a Spirit Embryo. It would be another life-preserving method for her.

Although she could currently split off avatars as well, their strength was far inferior to her true body. They could only be used for communication and pleasure, possessing virtually no actual combat power.

But if one were nurtured through a Spirit Embryo, it would be different. Just as Soul Ancestor had said, it could even be cultivated to possess strength comparable to her true body. At that point, it would be another true body.

"You also know that the Soul Suppressing Feather is currently with my true body. My true body is infinitely far from here, and returning will take quite some time. If you need it urgently, then I cannot lend it to you." Demon Ancestor replied. Clearly, the mention of the Spirit Embryo had moved her somewhat.

After all, this would be a major life-preserving method for her in the future.

"I'm not in a hurry. So long as it can be brought back within two hundred evolutionary eras, that will do." Soul Ancestor smiled.

"It won't take that long. It will not even exceed one hundred evolutionary eras. Aside from traveling, my true body has some matters to handle, but they will not take too much time." Demon Ancestor smiled as well, an eerie charm radiating from her beautiful eyes.

Soul Ancestor could not help but draw in a breath. Even at their level, the pleasures between male and female still held a powerful allure, especially since he had originally possessed only a soul body, while now he had a fleshly body.

At this thought, a wicked smile appeared at the corner of Soul Ancestor's lips. "Old demoness, it has been a long time since we had a soul-to-soul exchange. If I am to refine a better and more compatible Spirit Embryo for you, we should have a proper soul-to-soul exchange."

"Hmph. You haven't come by for so long that I was about to forget you." Demon Ancestor snorted coldly, though she was clearly pleased. With a twist of space-time, the two vanished from the grand hall.

On Dao Peak Continent, Luo Feng's true body was cultivating wholeheartedly, and time had already lost all meaning to him.

The cultivation of Dao Soul Guiding was simply too complex, especially when condensing Dao Seals. Every step involved both the soul and the Eternal Dao of the Blade. The two had to be perfectly fused and interwoven according to certain rules. It not only took time, but also consumed enormous mental energy.

Therefore, Luo Feng's avatars had each been allocated only a small portion of his consciousness, while everything else was concentrated within his true body.

As for the development of the Source Worlds, it continued steadily along the right track.

After the previous attack on the Myriad Tentacle Dragon Mother, word seemed to have spread throughout this region of Primordial Chaos Space. These Primordial Chaos Ancestors had begun to gain a clearer understanding of the strength of the Primordial Chaos Lords' side.

A Primordial Chaos Spirit Beast was a true monster. Not even ten or a hundred Primordial Chaos Ancestors could possibly be its match, yet the Primordial Chaos Lords' side had joined forces to kill one. The deterrence this created was immense.

Combined with Luo Feng's strength, aside from those few Primordial Chaos Races still wandering through the Primordial Chaos Lords' territory with hatred in their hearts, the others truly no longer dared to entertain any ideas.

Even when devouring Source Worlds, they only targeted those far from the territories controlled by the Primordial Chaos Lords, taking care not to let the Primordial Chaos Lords discover them.

Time passed quietly.

Within the boundless Primordial Chaos Space, two enormous Snake Dragons and a massive turtle-like lifeform flew swiftly through the Primordial Chaos Void.

Two belonged to the Infinite Serpent Race, while the other belonged to the Nether Profound Ancient Race.

"It has been a long time since we heard any news of cultivator Luo Feng. The eyes we planted everywhere can no longer find him. With his strength, could he have already left this region?" A deep voice suddenly came from one of the Infinite Serpent Race Ancestors.

"That is very possible. The stronger one is, the lonelier one becomes. And this space is infinitely vast, so it is normal for him to seek more exciting worlds to explore. Besides, apart from not seeing Luo Feng, we frequently see traces of the other Primordial Chaos Lords. This contrast makes the truth easy to infer."

"Not necessarily. Given how much they value the Source Worlds, perhaps he is merely cultivating somewhere. He wants to test our patience. Once he encounters us, he certainly will not hold back."

Of the remaining two, one agreed, while the other opposed the idea.

Clearly, in this region of Primordial Chaos Space, Luo Feng was the one they feared the most. As for the other Lords, they could still flee if they encountered them. Only before Luo Feng would they be unable to escape.

The three continued onward as they conversed.

Ahead of them lay a region that was also within the territory of the Primordial Chaos Lords. It was an area governed by Yuan. However, the territory was vast, so they were not afraid of encountering the Primordial Chaos Lords. At worst, they could simply run. If they did not encounter a Primordial Chaos Lord, they could even retaliate against these Source Worlds.

They flew onward.

Suddenly.

A vast aura spread from a place not far to their side. The three were instantly shocked, and as they exchanged glances, expressions of alarm appeared on their faces.

This aura unmistakably signified the birth of the eighth Primordial Chaos Lord!

"Go, find a way to kill him!" After only a brief moment of stunned silence, they reacted, killing intent appearing in their eyes.

The moment a Primordial Chaos Lord had just broken through was their weakest moment. The best opportunity to kill a Primordial Chaos Lord was precisely when they had just broken through, and it might also be the only opportunity.

Therefore, after reacting, the three Ancestors did not hesitate in the slightest. They immediately teleported toward the direction where the aura had emerged.

They were not far away. With consecutive teleportations, they would need only a few minutes.

At this moment, aside from these three Ancestors, the Primordial Chaos Lords' side also sensed the birth of this lofty aura one after another. There was no doubt about it: a new Primordial Chaos Lord had been born.

They could easily sense the exact location. The area where this breakthrough had occurred happened to lie within a territory governed by Yuan. This place had not suffered from the Primordial Chaos Races in the past, so its Source Worlds had naturally remained intact. Among them were several Source Worlds with tremendous potential.

In a region not too far from the source, though roughly ten times farther away than the three Ancestors, one of Yuan's avatars was stationed there. It was also his nearest avatar.

Upon sensing the birth of that aura, he immediately rushed toward that Source World.

He did not know that three Primordial Chaos Ancestors were also rapidly advancing toward the same place. However, within that Source World, he had left behind a Divine Power Avatar that was aware of the situation within that Source World.
