An Apex Realm Expert—Came Out?
"How could the void outside this world produce fluctuations in the rules?" The Nine Nether Great Emperor pondered. In the unseen depths, he could sense that the source of the disturbance in the void was right where he stood.
He simply could not tell whether it came from himself or from the World Embryo.
But he would never have imagined that it came from Luo Feng within his Suppression Realm.
Luo Feng's Star Tower had already been sealed by his Suppression Realm. How could Luo Feng possibly have caused it? At this moment, he had not even considered Luo Feng.
He was currently at the location of the World Embryo. Perhaps that fluctuation had been caused by his arrival here.
Setting the matter aside, he continued approaching the World Embryo.
Suddenly, the entire World Embryo shook violently. A powerful wave surged toward him, shoving his body back.
"What tremendous power." The Nine Nether Great Emperor was stunned. At the same time, as he drew closer, the pressure emanating from the World Embryo intensified.
Faintly, it seemed to carry a will: "Please leave... Please leave..."
"Interesting." The Nine Nether Great Emperor smiled as he considered how to refine this thing. "Should I directly invade it with divine sense or Soul Power? Or should I refine it into my body?"
He had no information whatsoever on how a World Embryo should be refined. He could only try.
With that thought, the Nine Nether Great Emperor sent his divine sense into it, but failed.
Immediately afterward, he spread out his Soul Power.
Boom!
The entire World Embryo jolted violently. An extreme will of resistance was transmitted from it. Its own power was resisting the infiltration of the Nine Nether Great Emperor's Soul Power.
Clearly, it was resisting refinement.
"Interesting. If I refine it like this and merge its power into the Dao Territory within me, my Dao Territory will generate sufficient World Power. With that, I can step into the void." At this instant of contact, the Nine Nether Great Emperor seemed to gain some understanding.
Refining this World Embryo would not make one the master of this world. Otherwise, the Source Heaven Emperor would have taken this step back then.
Once this World Embryo was refined, the entire world would wither and die. It could only be refined into the world within one's body or one's Dao Territory World.
However, refining it would not be easy.
The resistance before him was strong enough. Refining it would definitely take time.
Moreover, intense pressure suddenly spread throughout the space. Countless rules emerged from this place, directly imposing powerful suppression upon the Nine Nether Great Emperor.
"Hmph!" The Nine Nether Great Emperor snorted coldly. Vast rule power also emerged from within his body, directly countering the suppression of this place.
As a lifeform that had truly cultivated from weakness to this point, the Nine Nether Great Emperor was far stronger than this World Embryo.
To put it plainly, this thing possessed only the most basic instincts. It was not even comparable to a world's rule will. Its existence was unrelated to the world's heavenly will.
On the contrary, this world had to protect it carefully.
The Nine Nether Great Emperor directly arrived before the World Heart and extended his enormous palm. Vast Space Power spilled from his palm, wrapping around the entire World Embryo. Besides the Space Power, the Nine Nether Great Emperor's Soul Power also continuously seeped into the World Embryo.
The World Embryo trembled continuously, its scattered rules forming storms that relentlessly battered the Nine Nether Great Emperor.
"Hmph!" The Nine Nether Great Emperor snorted coldly. His robes and hair whipped wildly in the air, yet his body did not move in the slightest.
The Nine Nether Great Emperor's Soul Power rapidly assaulted the World Embryo, continuously infiltrating it.
At the same time, terrifying Devouring Power erupted from the Nine Nether Great Emperor, constantly absorbing the power scattered by the World Embryo.
To him, this scattered power was a tremendous tonic.
"It puts up quite a strong resistance." As his Soul Power infiltrated the World Embryo, the World Embryo's power produced formidable resistance. That resistance assaulted the Nine Nether Great Emperor's Divine Soul and will.
"Looks like it truly won't be easy to completely refine this thing." The Nine Nether Great Emperor sensed that its resistance was still quite strong.
Compared to a newly advanced Apex Realm expert like Luo Feng, this resistance was naturally far stronger.
The Nine Nether Great Emperor silently devoured and refined the World Embryo's power.
But before much time had passed, the Nine Nether Great Emperor suddenly looked toward the void. The rule fluctuations there seemed to have grown even more intense.
Endless void power churned. This movement should have been caused by the turbulence of the rules, and he could clearly sense the force of that turbulence.
The Nine Nether Great Emperor could not help frowning. "What's going on? These rule fluctuations are so intense. Something isn't right. I feel that these fluctuations were not caused by my actions against the World Embryo."
Within the Nine Nether Great Emperor's Suppression Realm.
The Star Tower was suppressed by one illusory chain after another. Vast amounts of power clung to its surface, continuously seeping into the Star Tower. The infiltration was extremely slow, as the power was continuously eroded in return by the Star Tower's own power.
The Star Tower had now completely cut off all perception from within to without.
Within the Source Space.
With the Star Tower's time acceleration and the immense energy stored within it, Luo Feng's Devil Blade True Body underwent rapid transformation. At this moment, his body completely broke through its limits, leaping directly from the level of a Great God Heaven lifeform to that of an Apex Realm lifeform.
The Devil Blade True Body had likewise reached the Apex Realm. This strength moved Luo Feng deeply.
"What an incredible feeling. I feel that my power is simply beyond comparison to the Nine Nether True Body's." Luo Feng was astonished. Dao Intent Power, nearly black in its black-gold hue, was naturally far stronger than the Dao Intent Power of his other true body. Moreover, this was an increase by multiples.
This level of strength was likely several times greater than that of the Nine Nether True Body.
From the feeling of this breakthrough alone, Luo Feng felt that he no longer needed to fear the Nine Nether Great Emperor.
Luo Feng was even confident that he could turn his former suppression into suppression of the Nine Nether Great Emperor instead. Killing him was not impossible either.
"They say the Demon Blade's power is special. I never expected it to be this special." Luo Feng was secretly exhilarated.
Of course. The Demon Blade had originally existed beyond this world, so it was only natural for it to be somewhat special.
The key was that he had only reached this point because of his wife's sacrifice. Otherwise, he would not have been able to condense Ultimate Power at this time and complete this transformation.
Though he had broken through, he now bore responsibility as well.
Luo Feng sensed that with his breakthrough, the power accumulated within the entire Star Tower had almost been completely absorbed by this body. The Star Tower's remaining power was now only enough to sustain the normal operation of its internal world. If any more energy were drawn out, the life within would likely be unable to adapt.
Luo Feng rose to his feet. Even through the Star Tower and the Nine Nether Great Emperor's Suppression Realm, he could vaguely sense the rule fluctuations in the void.
"The rules within the void..." It seemed that he might have a chance to comprehend those rules.
This breakthrough should bring some special changes.
But here, too many things were still cut off.
"Blood Shadow Saber." At Luo Feng's thought, the Blood Shadow Saber flew directly into his hand. Luo Feng glanced at this old companion and immediately poured Devil Blade Power into it. He could sense that the entire Blood Shadow Saber was continuously changing at this moment, shifting from pale gold to dark gold. The Taboo Secret Markings on it were also quietly transforming at a rapid pace.
This Blood Shadow Saber had primarily been forged from the Demon Blade's soul. However, since the Demon Blade had not previously broken through to the Apex Realm, it had been used by the Nine Nether True Body instead.
Now, the Blood Shadow Saber connected with the Devil Blade True Body once more. Influenced by its power, it underwent a direct transformation.
A powerful sensation surged forth naturally.
Inconceivable Dao Intent Power churned through the air. Even the nearby Nine Nether True Body looked on in astonishment.
He could clearly sense that the gap between the two true bodies was quite large, like the gap between his Nine Nether True Body and the Nine Nether Great Emperor—perhaps even greater.
"The Devil Blade True Body gives me a very different feeling. It seems that my level of rules is higher than that of the Nine Nether True Body. Perhaps my Devil Blade True Body is not completely suppressed." Luo Feng was naturally referring to the Nine Nether Great Emperor's Suppression Realm. If the Nine Nether True Body went out, it would be directly sealed by the Nine Nether Great Emperor. Only the Devil Blade True Body, by borrowing the power of the void, might be able to offer some resistance.
With a sweep of his thoughts, Luo Feng sensed that the Star Tower was constantly resisting the infiltration of the suppression power outside.
If this continued much longer, the Star Tower would inevitably be penetrated by the suppression power. At that point, even if he hid inside, he would still be sealed.
At present, the reason the Star Tower could resist somewhat was likely because it had refined the Source Heaven Emperor's true spirit and the Axis of Space-Time. Some of the materials within the Axis of Space-Time might not have originated from this world, granting the Star Tower a degree of specialness.
"By now, the Nine Nether Great Emperor may already be refining the World Embryo. I can't wait any longer." Luo Feng thought to himself.
Most importantly, Luo Feng had actively used the Star Tower to block everything. Within the Star Tower, it was difficult for him to sense the rules of the void.
The Nine Nether Great Emperor's Suppression Realm was one layer of obstruction, and Luo Feng had added another. It was simply too faint.
But if the Star Tower stopped maintaining this complete isolation, the Nine Nether Great Emperor's suppression power would enter, and Luo Feng would still be suppressed. By then, the entire Star Tower would be sealed.
"I have to make a move and try." Luo Feng was not completely confident, but he had to do it.
Only the Devil Blade True Body could act.
Luo Feng's Devil Blade True Body wore an indifferent expression, his eyes filled with madness and resolve.
"First, convert the power."
Before the Devil Blade True Body emerged into the Nine Nether Great Emperor's Suppression Realm, the power driving the Star Tower had to be switched to the Devil Blade True Body's power.
The process was fast. All the power was instantly replaced by the Devil Blade True Body's power.
The next moment, Luo Feng directly activated the Star Tower.
Boom!
The entire Star Tower suddenly shook violently. The force of the tremor became a massive wave of resistance, striking against the suppression power outside.
At the same time, endless dark-gold power flowed across the Star Tower's surface, seeping outward into the Suppression Realm in an attempt to influence it.
At this moment.
The Nine Nether Great Emperor, who was refining the World Embryo, sensed the disturbance from the Star Tower.
"Hm? It wants to resist? Such powerful force?" His expression clearly froze, and his face changed slightly. He had not expected the Star Tower to possess such powerful resistance.
This power was formidable, carrying the intent to break free from his internal control.
"Hmph. Once you enter my Suppression Realm, struggling is useless." The Nine Nether Great Emperor smiled to himself. With a thought, the rule power within him stirred. The power attempting to influence the Suppression Realm was directly erased by his suppression power. At the same time, even stronger power surged forth, directly pressing down upon the Star Tower, locking down its surface and continuously attempting to infiltrate it.
The Star Tower shook for only a moment before falling still.
Clearly, the Star Tower had failed in this attempt.
The Nine Nether Great Emperor was merely surprised for a moment. After withdrawing his thoughts, he focused once again on continuing the refinement of the World Embryo.
However—
In the brief instant it took for his thoughts to turn, his previously expressionless face froze in shock. "Hm? He came out on his own?"
Luo Feng had actually left the Star Tower and entered the Suppression Realm within his body.
Wasn't this simply courting death? Although every Emperor Dao Apex Realm expert possessed their own rules and could give rise to their own rule world within their domain... within the Nine Nether Great Emperor's Suppression Realm, let alone Luo Feng, even the Source Heaven Emperor of the past would only have been left to await death if sealed into the Suppression Realm!
"Something's wrong. This power is wrong." In the next instant, the Nine Nether Great Emperor's expression abruptly changed.
Luo Feng released his power, while the Star Tower's power also surged forth at the same time. The Nine Nether Great Emperor discovered that his suppression power could no longer completely restrain Luo Feng's body. Violent and intense Dao Intent Power directly raged through his Suppression Realm...
"He isn't in his original body!?" The Nine Nether Great Emperor realized this. This power instead resembled the Great God Heaven power that had interested him, except Great God Heaven had now become an Apex Realm expert.
This power was even stronger!
