Chapter 202: The Black Fire Demon Lord's Plot

Within the entire Reincarnation Tower, those most actively participating in missions now are Emperor Di Jun's faction, God King Wu Xin, Luo Feng, and God King Yun Tian. God King Yun Tian, having only one true body and being the weakest, dared not venture into overly dangerous areas.

Over the long years that followed, Emperor Di Jun's faction, Wu Xin, and Luo Feng undertook numerous missions. God King Yun Tian only joined when he felt reasonably confident, while King Tiandu, Great Freedom Venerable, and Demon Lord Black Fire only participated occasionally.

As for the most powerful members of the Reincarnation Tower, Empress Fengdu and God King Earth, it was rare for them to assemble a team.

Through these repeated missions, Luo Feng became increasingly familiar with the other members of the Reincarnation Tower.

Huyang City, Dao River Sect Headquarters.

"Senior Brother Xin Yu."

"Senior Brother Xin Yu." The disciples of the Dao River Sect immediately called out respectfully upon seeing a young man in blue. This young man carried a blade on his back, its hilt adorned with wind chimes that jingled in the breeze.

Since its establishment, Dao River Sect's founding ancestor, God King Luo He, had only accepted one personal disciple: Senior Brother Xin Yu! Senior Brother Xin Yu had thus become one of the two personal disciples under God King Luo He.

Furthermore, in terms of prestige, Senior Brother Xin Yu far surpassed Senior Brother Moyu Qingyan, as Xin Yu's talent was simply too dazzling.

"Elder Molosa." Xin Yu spotted a figure with a powerful aura and immediately bowed respectfully. The Dao River Sect had two elders – Elder Yuan and Elder Molosa – who ordinarily managed the sect's affairs.

"Xin Yu, how was your recent venture out into the world?"Molosa looked at the young junior, his feelings somewhat complex.

"My accumulation is sufficient. I've returned to prepare for a breakthrough to the Chaos Realm," Xin Yu replied respectfully.

Molosa nodded slightly, joyfully saying, "With your accumulation, it truly is almost time! Go break through quickly. Once you do... you'll be the first Chaos Realm disciple since the founding of the Dao River Sect."

"Yes," Xin Yu bowed respectfully and then departed.

Molosa watched Xin Yu's retreating back.

"The gap is too big, too big," Molosa muttered to himself. "My poor Qingyan simply can't compare!" This Xin Yu was the most dazzling and talented genius among the many elites from hundreds of surrounding Chaos States, so much so that even Luo Feng was quite satisfied and specifically chose him as his second disciple! In terms of talent, he was much stronger than even God Lord Blood Cloud in his prime.

"Qingyan also works very hard, and I've tried every method to help him, but Qingyan, relying on the bloodline path, is still quite far from a breakthrough," Molosa shook his head. "Yet this Xin Yu, born into a weak tribe, was able to cultivate the Infinite Divine Body! He follows the law path... and now has incredibly deep accumulation, having comprehended many Chaos Realm techniques. No matter how you compare them, the gap is simply too vast."

But Molosa simply favored Qingyan, after all, he had nurtured him step by step from a True God.

At that time, his master had only him, a servant, and this one disciple by his side.

"I'm not good at cultivation myself, so I can't teach Qingyan either?" Molosa muttered to himself. "Fine, fine, if I truly can't cultivate Qingyan, then I'll just have to rely on myself. The stronger I become, the more stable Qingyan's position will be. If I can reach the Ultimate Realm, I won't need to hide anymore. Qingyan... as a personal disciple of an Ultimate Realm Beast, I believe that will be quite intimidating."

Molosa thought happily.

After all, Moyu Qingyan had two masters: his primary master, Luo He, and his second master, Molosa!

"But to reach the Ultimate Realm, constantly absorbing the power of heaven and earth, how long will that take?" Molosa thought for a moment, then immediately headed to the City Lord's Mansion to find his master.

In a pavilion within the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Feng sat high on a chair, clad in a black robe.

"Master," Molosa arrived.

"Rushing over from the Dao River Sect so urgently, is there something important?" Luo Feng smiled, looking at him.

Molosa said, "Master, that young fellow Xin Yu has returned from his training and says he's going into seclusion to break through to the Chaos Realm." "He indeed has the potential of a God King; reaching the Chaos Realm is a minor matter," Luo Feng replied. Even if one performed exceptionally well in the internal competitions of the Dao River Sect, they would generally at most become Luo Feng's registered disciple.

Among all the registered disciples, Luo Feng chose Xin Yu as his personal disciple.

Born into humble circumstances, possessing an Infinite Divine Body, extraordinary comprehension, and an incredibly strong will—in all aspects, he could be considered a weakened version of himself! In terms of divine body and will, it would be too demanding to compare him to Luo Feng at the same level, but Xin Yu's conditions already indicated the potential of a God King.

"The young fellow is about to break through, but I haven't been able to," Molosa said to Luo Feng via telepathy. "Master, the Dao River Sect has been established for over a hundred epochs, and my progress has been negligible. Slowly absorbing the power of heaven and earth like this, when will I reach the Second Realm? When will I reach the Ultimate Realm?"

Luo Feng smiled, looking at Molosa. He understood; Molosa wanted some resources as well.

"Don't rush," Luo Feng said.

"I'm not rushing; it's just that only by becoming stronger can I better assist my master," Molosa transmitted. "There will be good news soon," Luo Feng said.

Molosa's eyes immediately lit up. "Master, do you mean...?"

"It's exactly what you're thinking," Luo Feng waved his hand. "Alright, you should go cultivate quickly! In terms of cultivation, you need to put in more effort yourself."

"Understood," Molosa replied verbally, then immediately withdrew.

Cultivate? He had tried cultivating himself, only to find it utterly confusing. It was most comfortable to just lie flat and grow naturally. "I've tried every possible way to acquire parts of the 'Twenty-Four Manifestation Form Being' corpse," Luo Feng mused.

"Now it's up to Brother Black Fire."Since meeting his master, Emperor Chu, over a hundred epochs ago, Luo Feng had always wanted parts of the "Twenty-Four Manifestation Form Being" material. He had been pushing for this, but in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, the cultivation of primal chaos bloodline beings was inherently weak, and the most powerful primal chaos bloodline beings were guarded even more strictly. Even his master, Emperor Chu, couldn't obtain parts of the material; everything had to follow the ancient kingdom's rules.

"Luo He," Luo Feng suddenly received a message from Demon Lord Black Fire.

Demon Lord Black Fire had united a large number of God Kings who harbored animosity towards the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, forming a formidable power.

If the Life Mother River, led by the Master of the Mother River, was a force rebelling against the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, then the Gate of Black Fire, led by Demon Lord Black Fire, was a force rebelling against the Thunder Ancient Kingdom. Although less influential than the Life Mother River, the Gate of Black Fire was equally formidable, and at crucial moments, Demon Lord Black Fire could summon God King Earth as a reinforcement.

Inside the Reincarnation Tower.Demon Lord Black Fire and Luo Feng met.

"Luo He." Demon Lord Black Fire had a rather handsome appearance, with flame-like secret patterns on his face. He commanded a faction that was an enemy to the Thunder Ancient Kingdom. Yet, among rogue God Kings, he enthusiastically befriended all sides, enjoying an excellent reputation.

Luo Feng had previously discussed the "Twenty-Four Manifestation Form Being material" in the Reincarnation Tower, asking other members if they had any solutions. Demon Lord Black Fire had then offered to give it a try.

"Brother Black Fire, did you find me because there's news?" Luo Feng asked with surprise.

"Haha, I told you before, when it comes to familiarity with the Thunder Ancient Kingdom's royal God Kings, if I say I'm second throughout the Origin Continent, I doubt anyone would dare claim to be first," Demon Lord Black Fire smiled. He was an early guest God King of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, already at the Second Realm of God King back then, and he harbored ambitions to become a monarch.

In terms of merit... he had performed countless meritorious deeds for the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, far exceeding those of the royal God Kings. But precisely because he was a guest God King, he could never obtain the resources needed to become a monarch. He endured suffering for a long time, eventually attempting to steal a portion of primal chaos bloodline that could make one a monarch, at all costs. However, he ultimately failed and was forced to flee the Thunder Ancient Kingdom.

However, Demon Lord Black Fire had a strong ability to make friends. Many God Kings within the Thunder Ancient Kingdom were his close companions, and many rogue God Kings were also his friends.

This was also one of the reasons why his "Gate of Black Fire" had persisted to this day.

Even though they knew the Thunder Ancient Kingdom had always placed a bounty on him, many God Kings who cultivated the primal chaos bloodline still didn't care and continued to frequently associate with Demon Lord Black Fire. "Your matter is settled!" Demon Lord Black Fire said with a smile.

Luo Feng's eyes lit up.

"About one-tenth of the corpse of a 'Twenty-Four Manifestation Form' primal chaos bloodline creature," Demon Lord Black Fire said. "It has been quietly extracted and can be exchanged for treasures worth three hundred million merit points. This price should be within your acceptable range, correct?"

"Brother Black Fire, thank you so much," Luo Feng said, greatly moved.

It was too difficult! The Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom demanded a billion merit points, not a single point less. On the Thunder Ancient Kingdom's side, Luo Feng had also tried visiting some guest God Kings and royal God Kings, but they all demanded significantly higher prices.

He had also visited God King Jiayin, who did have a method and offered a smaller markup, able to exchange a complete primal chaos bloodline for treasures worth six hundred and fifty million merit points. If no refinement was needed, and only the raw material, the price was the same. As for wanting a small amount of material? The Thunder Ancient Kingdom's control was also very strict; the Monarch's clones personally oversaw all primal chaos bloodlines of that level!

For over a hundred epochs, Luo Feng had participated in every mission of the Reincarnation Tower. However, even with Emperor Di Jun and the others' frantic efforts, they only averaged one mission every ten-plus epochs. Luo Feng had only accumulated five hundred million merit points' worth of treasures in total. Moreover, the World Beast Blood Talisman had consumed another one hundred million merit points!

Luo Feng could only use about four hundred million merit points. He had even planned to wait until he accumulated more merit points before making arrangements.

"Let's be clear beforehand, this is only one-tenth of the corpse; it cannot yield a complete primal chaos bloodline," Demon Lord Black Fire stated. "This is what you agreed to beforehand, that only a portion would suffice."

A complete corpse typically yields only three to five complete primal chaos bloodlines.

"No problem," Luo Feng replied.

"You don't need to ask how this one-tenth of the corpse was obtained. Right now, I'll send this corpse to your Huyang City, and we'll complete the transaction there," Demon Lord Black Fire said. "Good," Luo Feng responded, filled with gratitude.

Huyang City, City Lord's Mansion.Luo Feng waited expectantly.

Whoosh! A figure descended from the void, appearing out of thin air beside him—it was none other than Demon Lord Black Fire! Demon Lord Black Fire had a handsome face, even possessing a captivating charm reminiscent of a true World Beast.

"Brother Black Fire," Luo Feng said, very grateful; he had been planning for this material for too long.

"Here's one-tenth of the corpse; take a good look," Demon Lord Black Fire said, placing a cloth bag on the table. Luo Feng immediately placed a jade bottle on the table as well.

Luo Feng took the cloth bag and inspected it. The bag contained a hidden space within, holding a massive section of tail, hundreds of millions of kilometers long—this was likely the remaining tip of a complete tail. There was also a half-hoof claw as vast as a mountain, its surface covered in scales, exuding a rich and heavy aura of flesh and blood, and containing a terrifying will. In addition, there were many scattered scales, muscles, bones, blood, and other items.

Luo Feng estimated it was likely one-tenth of the corpse remaining after the primal chaos bloodline had been extracted.

"Three hundred million merit points?" Demon Lord Black Fire held the jade bottle, unable to resist looking at Luo Feng. "Brother Luo He, you've given too much."

"This is for Brother Black Fire to buy some wine to drink," Luo Feng said with a smile.

Demon Lord Black Fire had always been unwilling to ask for any benefits, but he had painstakingly planned this matter for over thirty epochs. Obtaining this one-tenth of a corpse from the strictly managed Thunder Ancient Kingdom must have been incredibly difficult. Luo Feng giving an extra twenty or thirty million merit points was truly nothing significant.

"Alright," Demon Lord Black Fire smiled. He was willing to help Luo Feng and didn't care about these minor resources. What he valued was Luo Feng's potential! Currently, Luo Feng's role in exploring treasure sites was no less than his own! What if Luo Feng became a Second Realm God King? He might just become another being comparable to an Emperor or Monarch. Facing such an existence, Demon Lord Black Fire naturally wanted to befriend him wholeheartedly. He had once befriended God King Earth in the same manner.
