Chapter 188: The Divine Queen's First Seclusion

"There are indeed multiple ways to completely kill Lord Tiankun." Luo Feng's understanding now surpassed that of his teacher, Sitting Mountain Guest. Some of these were secrets revealed by Emperor Chu, and others were insights gained from comprehending the four special inheritances.

Even though it was only the 'God-King First Stage Chapter' of the special inheritances, it offered vague guidance for the later stages of his journey.

"For me, there are three methods that offer a higher probability of killing Lord Tiankun."

The first method is to elevate his mental will to a level beyond that of a God-King. When combined with the Lie Yuan Technique, such a will could virtually sweep aside any God-King level will. Luo Feng considered this, but knew the path was extremely challenging.

Even an ascent from God-King First Stage will to God-King Ultimate Stage will is still considered within the overall God-King tier, representing a slow, gradual improvement rather than a qualitative leap.

A significant leap across levels—that is the true qualitative change!

During his time in the Primal Universe, while still a True God, Luo Feng's mental will had already reached the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm.

Since arriving on the Origin Continent, his mental will had experienced only one major qualitative leap: from the Chaos Realm level to the God-King level.

According to the information provided by his master, only three individuals in the current era of the Origin Continent possess a mental will that transcends the God-King level: Emperor Qing, Lord of Myriad Worlds, and Emperor Ming.

The progenitors of the two great ancient nations and the Eastern Extremity Domain were all formidable beings from previous eras.

In the current era, there are only these three.

Both Emperor Qing and Lord of Myriad Worlds only attained a mental will level beyond God-King after comprehending a complete Source Great Dao. Emperor Ming, however, achieved the ultimate life form by leveraging his Primal Chaos bloodline and has yet to comprehend any Great Dao.

The advancement of a Dao represents a comprehensive enhancement. By being able to perceive the essence of all things in the heavens and earth, one's mental will naturally becomes incredibly potent.

According to his master, secret treasures and weapons above the God-King level, particularly defensive ones, typically have the ability to block mental will attacks. Ultimate life forms, being inherently complete, offer a slight resistance. Emperors and Monarchs confronting Emperor Ming would, at best, suffer a significant loss of strength, and at worst, lose control.

Secret treasures and weapons capable of blocking mental will attacks are exceedingly rare and valuable; even his master did not possess one.

Luo Feng inwardly mused that during his meticulous study of the Star Tower, he had discovered its ability to impede mental will attacks.

This path is extremely challenging, but if successful, few on the Origin Continent would be able to contend with him.

The second method is to master the complete Source Great Dao of Life. At that point, his control over life would reach an unimaginable level, allowing him to instantly sever the life force of all Lord Tiankun's resurrection vessels, leaving no time for reincarnation.

While every Great Dao has numerous imperfections in its early stages, once a complete Great Dao is mastered, all noticeable flaws disappear.

For instance, the Source Great Dao of Life is initially weak in offensive power. However, a complete Source Great Dao of Life would be the very embodiment of the concept of life within the Origin World, even capable of directly stripping an opponent of their life.

The same applies to other paths: upon reaching their ultimate form, they become self-complete and possess unimaginable capabilities.

The third method involves mastering the special inheritance of the Source Great Dao of Destruction to reach the pinnacle of the God-King Second Stage. At that point, he could hope to contend with Emperors and Monarchs, capable of annihilating countless enemy avatars and all resurrection vessels with a single thought.

Morosa is already capable of performing curse-kills.

Luo Feng believed that if he reached the God-King Second Stage and honed special inheritance killing techniques, it would be sufficient to deal with Lord Tiankun.

He would approach these three paths steadily.

Luo Feng surveyed his own mental will.

Even during his time in the Chaos Realm, his mental will had already reached the Ultimate God-King stage.

His subsequent cultivation progressed more slowly, but comprehending the World Life Form had nourished his mental will.

After becoming a God-King, his soul strengthened, further benefiting his mental will.

Having comprehended all six major branches of life, Luo Feng's understanding of existence became profound, imbuing his mental will with seemingly endless vitality and remarkable resilience.

His mental will had reached the bottleneck of the God-King Ultimate Stage, making further improvement impossible.

Luo Feng sensed that even practicing the mind-refining methods from the Lie Yuan Technique yielded no improvement whatsoever. It was completely capped, like an impassable chasm blocking his path.

The Lie Yuan Technique contains records of multiple mind-refining methods; he primarily used the Great Destruction Mind-Refining Method. The effectiveness of this particular method depended on his mastery of the Source Great Dao of Destruction.

Currently, he was focused on cultivating the Great Dao of Destruction.

A secret technique surfaced in Luo Feng's mind.

This was a secret technique recorded in the special inheritance 'Chaos Cavern Beast Body,' originally intended as a combat method to complement the Chaos Cavern Beast Body.

However, Luo Feng possessed a more powerful World Life Form, rendering further comprehension of the Chaos Cavern Beast Body unnecessary.

This combat secret technique, known as the Six Chaos Cavern Strikes, combined the six major branches of the path of destruction in each strike. When executed with an exceptionally powerful physical body, its might was immense.

Each of the Six Chaos Cavern Strikes integrated the six major branches, and their complexity was comparable to comprehending the Ten Directions World Form. Luo Feng knew that mastering even one strike would grant him a powerful killing move.

Luo Feng was filled with anticipation.

Any single strike from the Six Chaos Cavern Strikes surpassed the power of the first three strikes of the 'Seventy-Two Blades of Annihilation'.

Executing such techniques with his World Life Form would finally eliminate Luo Feng's weaknesses.

Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, three epochs had passed.

Fengzhang City.

Zhang Yungge concealed her aura and altered her appearance before returning to her ancestral land.

Fengzhang City.

Zhang Yungge gazed at the familiar city where she had grown up, yet she felt a pang of trepidation.

She quietly arrived at her family's residence and then messaged her father.

Soon, the door to the dwelling opened.

"Why are you back?"

Zhang's father stood at the entrance of the dwelling, a look of annoyance in his eyes. "Didn't I already send word for you not to return?"

"This is my ancestral land," Zhang Yungge replied, "I wanted to come back and see it."

Zhang Yungge said, looking at her father.

"Haven't you brought enough shame upon our lineage?" Zhang's father burst out in anger. "When you were with Moyu Qingyan and then became a disciple of God-King Polu, our family greatly valued our branch, providing us with resources, status, and power. The lives of many of our kin improved significantly. But what did you do?"

"What have you done?"

Zhang's father was enraged. "You broke up with Moyu Qingyan, angered God-King Luohe, and then were cast out by God-King Polu! Such an incredible opportunity, and you ruined it completely! The family ancestor was furious and stripped our lineage of many of its powers. Things are even worse now than before you were with Moyu Qingyan! Our branch has no say in important family matters whatsoever."

"Our entire branch has utterly declined, even more so than before you were with Moyu Qingyan! And it's all because of you!"

Zhang's father glared at her. "As your father, do you think my life has been easy? I can tell you, I've already submitted an application to the family, and we're about to relocate from our ancestral land."

"Relocate? Wouldn't that completely marginalize us?"

Zhang Yungge couldn't help but exclaim.

"Aren't we already marginalized now? And forced to endure this humiliation," Zhang's father said angrily. "You should leave quickly. If you are discovered by other members of our branch, some of your family elders might even move against you."

Their branch still comprised over ten Eternal True Gods, along with numerous Void True Gods and True Gods.

While once considered a prominent branch of the family, they were now marginalized due to the family ancestor's fury.

"I'll leave immediately."

Zhang Yungge said nothing more.

Zhang's father watched his daughter's retreating figure, shaking his head gently.

Perhaps having grown up within the royal family, with her father also an Eternal True God of the royal family, her life had been too comfortable.

Zhang Yungge had been banished from the mountain, and without God-King Polu's explicit command, she could never return.

Nonetheless, she still held the title of a God-King's direct disciple, ensuring that local powers in any city within the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom would not dare to mistreat her.

She drifted from place to place, and several more epochs passed in the blink of an eye. After much wandering, she found herself back in Xiangjie City.

Her ingrained pride had made her persevere until now before finally arriving here.

She sat in a pavilion, gazing at the distant street, waiting in silence... Finally, he appeared.

Moyu Qingyan flew high above, riding a Chaos Realm exotic beast and followed by a retinue of personal guards.

Since Yuan achieved the Chaos Realm, the management of Xiangjie City had been fully entrusted to Moyu Qingyan.

Furthermore, the Moyu family wielded considerable influence across the twenty Chaos Prefectures surrounding Huyang City.

"Qingyan."

Zhang Yungge suddenly rose and quickly called out.

Moyu Qingyan turned his head and saw Zhang Yungge. Recognizing his former wife, he immediately guided his exotic beast near the establishment and then ascended to the pavilion alone.

Inside the pavilion.

"Why are you in Xiangjie City?"

Moyu Qingyan looked at her.

Zhang Yungge said, "Qingyan, I know I made too many mistakes. I..."

"There's no need to speak."

Moyu Qingyan shook his head, unwilling to listen.

"I came here simply to ask... can we go back to how things used to be? If you refuse, I will leave immediately and never appear before you again."

Zhang Yungge gazed at Moyu Qingyan.

Moyu Qingyan gazed deeply at Zhang Yungge. "Then let's end it here," he said.

With that, Moyu Qingyan turned and departed.

Zhang Yungge stood rooted to the spot. Her inner pride prevented her from speaking further or attempting to hold him back, and she simply watched Moyu Qingyan leave.

She knew it was all over.

Moyu Qingyan sat upon the back of the Chaos Realm exotic beast, returning with his personal guards. Though he appeared expressionless, he felt immense pain inwardly.

He deeply cherished that relationship; it had been his only love.

Yet, he understood clearly in his heart.

"When she went to Polu Mountain, she wasn't even willing to leave a divine power avatar at home to keep me company. That's when I knew... compared to her future, I meant nothing."

Moyu Qingyan had personally traveled to Polu Mountain to ask her to return, but it was futile. At that moment, he decided to let go.

"Let's never meet again."

Moyu Qingyan now only wished to dedicate himself wholeheartedly to cultivation under the guidance of his two masters.

Time flowed like water, and twelve epochs had passed in the blink of an eye since Luo Feng became a God-King.

Inside one of the Star Tower's chambers.

Luo Feng, in his silver robes, stood there and gently pointed a finger.

Where his finger made contact, a single point of light emerged, dazzling and brilliant beyond measure.

This point of light erupted with unimaginable power, instantly obliterating everything in all directions, a torrent of destruction.

The immense power swept through the entire first layer of the Star Tower, causing the whole space to rumble.

"Finally, I've comprehended it," Luo Feng said with a smile.

After becoming a God-King, his soul's thought process was over ten times faster than before. Even with this accelerated intellect, it took Luo Feng twelve epochs to comprehend just one of the Six Chaos Cavern Strikes.

In Luo Feng's mind, the complete branch of the Heaven-Splitting lineage naturally emerged, which then effortlessly triggered the successive comprehension of other branches, such as the Dark Heaven lineage and the Chaotic Heaven lineage, flowing seamlessly like water into a channel.
