Chapter 155: Lie Yuan Technique and Native Creatures

A man in green robes, meditating on the grass, suddenly opened his eyes. He saw the figure of a man in black robes descending in the distance.

"Luo He?" The man in green robes recognized the newcomer at a glance.

Luo Feng looked over as well, nodding with a smile, "God-King Tian Mu."

This man in green robes was God-King Tian Mu, from the 'Di Jiufeng lineage' of the thirteen royal lines of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

"I didn't expect to see Grand Sage Luo He here," God-King Tian Mu said, taking a step towards Luo Feng and greeting him warmly.

As a God-King of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's royal family, he was naturally quite proud! However, when facing Grand Sage Luo He, God-King Tian Mu was notably humble and friendly. Everyone knew that in the near future, Grand Sage Luo He would likely become a hegemonic figure on the Origin Continent.

God-King Tian Mu, after all, was only a first-tier God-King. In terms of strength, he was merely comparable to Luo He at present.

One must remember that Luo He was a Chaos Realm transcender, so how could God-King Tian Mu afford to be arrogant?

"The Emperor was benevolent enough to let me hunt here," Luo Feng said. "Our Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom has multiple territories within the Boundless Dimension, but the area overseen by the Emperor is the safest," God-King Tian Mu remarked. "For the Emperor to allocate a place to you shows how highly he values you."

While God-King Tian Mu spoke, he was secretly very surprised.

Everyone knew that Emperor Ming and Emperor Chu did not have a good relationship. Yet, Emperor Ming was willing to help Luo He, which was truly rare.

"Oh, by the way," God-King Tian Mu asked curiously, "Grand Sage Luo He, how did you get the chance to enter? Even Chaos Realm transcendents from the royal family only get one opportunity to enter this treasure ground. More chances require exchanging merit points."

"More opportunities require exchanges?" Luo Feng asked, "How many merit points are needed?"

"For exchanges within the royal family, it's one-tenth of the quota for guest God-Kings," God-King Tian Mu revealed, as this had long ceased to be a secret. "For guest God-Kings, entry into the Boundless Dimension costs fifty million merit points. For the royal family, it's five million merit points per entry. Even so, for us first-tier God-Kings, accumulating five million merit points is not easy."

Luo Feng understood.

God-Kings not belonging to the two major royal families who could accumulate fifty million merit points, or forcibly snatch resources from the two great ancient kingdoms, were certainly not ordinary God-Kings.

"My opportunity to enter came from the Thunder Ancient Kingdom," Luo Feng did not conceal.

"Oh?" God-King Tian Mu was surprised.

"It took some effort," Luo Feng said, without elaborating further. God-King Tian Mu looked at Luo Feng, sighing with a smile, "For someone not from the two major royal families to enter the treasure ground left by Yuan while still in the Chaos Realm is truly rare in the history of the entire Origin Continent. I can guess that Grand Sage Luo He seized this opportunity through sheer strength."

"Compared to Grand Sage Luo He, those of us who grew up nurtured by family resources seem rather ordinary," God-King Tian Mu said, shaking his head.

"Who would dare call a God-King ordinary? I'm still stuck at a bottleneck myself," Luo Feng replied.

"Haha, for you, that's no bottleneck. You'll definitely become a God-King very soon," God-King Tian Mu said. Their conversation was one of equals, without the condescension a typical God-King might show a Chaos Realm cultivator.

The two chatted for a long time before parting ways.

Luo Feng was quite thoughtful. Within the royal family, five million merit points for one exchange was something God-Kings could accumulate with effort. But for guest God-Kings, fifty million merit points... that was a far more distant goal. Especially for some ancient beings, if their strength was sufficient, they would naturally form alliances and begin to contend and seize resources through their power.

The two supreme Ancestors never interfered in these disputes, perhaps because they disdained to, or perhaps because those resources were left by Yuan.

"The hunting ground Emperor Ming gave me has three native creatures," Luo Feng thought, and according to the information, he first flew towards the closest one.

After flying for more than ten breaths, Luo Feng spotted the creature.

"Hmm?"

Luo Feng observed the native creature.

The native creature existed between reality and illusion, with eight massive tentacles permeating the void. At the center of its colossal body was an enormous head, its blood-red single eye observing Luo Feng.

Merely its observation caused an invisible mental force to seep in and exert influence.

Luo Feng himself possessed a second-tier God-King level mental will, further fortified by the 'Array Yuan Art', so he naturally perceived it as nothing more than a gentle breeze. "According to the intelligence, every native creature in the Boundless Dimension is a mental-type creature. Their minds are the core, while their physical bodies are secondary," Luo Feng thought. "Their range of activity is also very limited."

The massive tentacled creature also observed Luo Feng, pondering, "My will has descended upon this mysterious place, and this foreign expert is my ninth tribulation! I must survive a thousand tribulations to undergo transformation."

"A thousand tribulations; failure means only death." The tentacled creature also possessed patience.

Boom... Luo Feng moved. The Boundless Dimension restricted nineteen origin daos, but the most fundamental Chaos Laws could still be wielded.

The tentacled creature also lashed out with its tentacles. Their power was terrifying, reaching the God-King level in terms of might, in no way inferior to Luo Feng's physical body.

However... in terms of technique, this tentacled creature was far inferior even to the Chaos Laws, appearing utterly clumsy.

"Bang." Luo Feng, like an afterimage, instantly evaded the tentacles' strike. His foot, like a blade, jabbed into the creature's massive head, which immediately burst open, forming a bloody hole.

"Ugh..." A low roar echoed, followed by a sudden burst of chaotic mental energy, assaulting Luo Feng's mind and will.

"This foreign expert's will is too terrifying; I can't even penetrate a sliver of it." The tentacled creature was startled. It had faced previous tribulations, encountering other God-Kings in the Boundless Dimension. The strongest among them only had a second-tier God-King level mental will and lacked the 'Array Yuan Art' technique, yet it had still been able to contaminate and infiltrate them somewhat. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The tentacled creature's body exploded repeatedly; it was indeed far too inferior to Luo Feng in close-quarters combat.

As its injuries grew heavier, "Rip." Luo Feng also tore apart one of the massive tentacles that had already been damaged.

Luo Feng's overwhelming advantage in close combat meant that after about a quarter of an hour, he finally tore the tentacled creature to shreds, even utterly destroying and annihilating it with his successive moves. However, the creature's immense consciousness still lingered.

"Om." Suddenly, under the manipulation of its illusory consciousness, an invisible force gathered. In just a few breaths, this unseen power coalesced, reforming the tentacled creature.

"It's back again," Luo Feng observed, unsurprised.

"According to intelligence, the native creatures of the Boundless Dimension cannot be completely destroyed through normal physical combat," Luo Feng thought. "Even if its body is annihilated hundreds or even thousands of times to injure it, it will disappear for a long time... and then recover and return after a prolonged period."

"Only by forcing it to disappear will I gain 1 reward point." Because they couldn't be killed, Emperor Ming had assigned Luo Feng a territory with only three native creatures.

These three native creatures were enough for Luo Feng to keep "killing" them repeatedly.

"The only way to truly kill it is to destroy its will. It will then be completely dead, never to recover," Luo Feng mused. "According to intelligence, even the weakest native creatures require a God-King Ultimate Realm will to have a chance at completely obliterating their will."

"I only have a second-tier God-King level mental will, even with the 'Array Yuan Art', I wonder if I can destroy it."

Luo Feng looked at the tentacled creature before him.

The tentacled creature also observed Luo Feng.

"This is my tribulation, the ninth tribulation..." The tentacled creature, with its long lifespan, naturally had immense patience.

Suddenly, everything before the tentacled creature's eyes vanished.

It saw nothing else, only a majestic, rotating star. This colossal star rolled forward, directly crushing and impacting the tentacled creature's chaotic and frenzied mental energy.

The tentacled creature's chaotic and frenzied mental energy was instantly crushed by seventy to eighty percent.

"Not good." The tentacled creature now clearly saw Luo Feng. At this moment, its massive blood-red single eye showed shock and fury. In an instant, its body actively disintegrated, and its mental consciousness completely departed.

... In a distant world.

This world was home to myriad nations, countless struggling beings, and cultivators. However, the true masters of this world were terrifying entities known as—Demons.

Demons were immortal and indestructible, feeding on the seven emotions and six desires of living beings.

"Ugh..." Deep within the oceans of this world resided an incomparably vast tentacled creature. Its size occupied approximately one-third of the entire ocean, which was also known as the forbidden sea of the world.

This tentacled creature was also the source of the world's demons, the most terrifying and dreadful existence; it was also the Heavenly Dao of this world!

The countless cultivators of this world had derived their cultivation paths from it.

"My ninth tribulation is actually this terrifying! He annihilated seventy to eighty percent of my mental energy with just one blow?" A hint of fear also flickered in the tentacled creature's single eye.

The source of demons in this world, an existence akin to the Heavenly Dao, could actually feel fear? If the cultivators of this world knew this, they would likely not believe it.

"However, what he annihilated were my most chaotic and jumbled thoughts," the tentacled creature also realized. "What remains is purer and more refined."

"I feed on the seven emotions and six desires of countless beings in this world, which also makes me increasingly chaotic."

"A thousand tribulations are both a disaster and a refinement."

"Once I overcome them, I can truly transform." The tentacled creature also discovered the benefits of enduring this strike, though it now needed to rest and recuperate. "When the time comes, I must descend again. This tribulation is far more terrifying than the previous ones."

During the thousand tribulations, one could temporarily rest but not retreat. Each tribulation had to be overcome.

After the tentacled creature voluntarily vanished, it did not reappear.

Normally, hundreds or even thousands of physical attacks were needed to force it to disappear. Yet, after just one strike from the 'Array Yuan Art', the tentacled creature fled.

"Too bad, I couldn't completely kill it," Luo Feng shook his head slightly. "My mental will is still not strong enough."

Even with an Ultimate God-King level will and powerful will-based secret arts, one could only hope to completely eradicate it. If his own mental will were a few tenths stronger, perhaps he could have killed it in one blow.

"These chaotic thoughts." Luo Feng frowned slightly. When destroying seventy to eighty percent of the opponent's mental power, a large number of chaotic thoughts had contaminated his own mental will, with the various emotions and desires of countless beings infesting him. This was the lingering consequence of using mental will against such native creatures.

Suddenly—

"Rumble!" Invisible rules descended, enveloping Luo Feng.

"Repelled a mental creature: 1 reward point.""Combat based on fundamental Chaos Laws, new Dao evaluation: Low-grade. Reward points: 0. You have not opened any new Daos; further effort is required.""Chaos Realm body, achieving second-tier God-King level will, mental will evaluation: Mid-grade. Reward points: 100. Your mental will is barely adequate; further improvement is needed.""Total reward points: 101."
