Chapter 355: Strength Breaks the Law?

Luo Feng, an invincible being, found few rivals below the Primordial Chaos level. If he leveraged his Primordial Chaos bloodline, he could escape the mortal coil at any moment.

Luo Feng's mindset had naturally shifted as well. His future pursuit was a better way to 'escape the mortal coil'.

As for the cultivators of the Dark Saint Realm, Luo Feng was willing to offer some assistance. He also held goodwill towards Emperor Yanfeng and Emperor Leiting from his home source world.

"Sit," Luo Feng motioned to the side.

Yanfeng and Leiting were flattered and took seats beside him. In this current gathering, their strength was indeed somewhat lacking.

"Yanfeng, Leiting, have you encountered any confusion in your cultivation? Feel free to speak up. Even if I cannot answer, I believe the others present can provide some insights," Luo Feng said with a smile.

Yanfeng and Leiting did indeed have many questions; with their previous low strength, they hadn't been qualified to seek advice from peak-level beings.

"I also exchanged for a high-grade Primordial Chaos bloodline, the 'Heavenly Eye Thunder Beast', but my efforts to unlock its potential have yielded very little," Leiting immediately stated.

"What methods did you use to unlock its potential?" Emperor Jike asked. As the cultivator who had delved furthest into bloodline excavation in the current Dark Saint Realm, he naturally had the qualifications to guide Leiting.

Leiting immediately began to explain: "I attempted to induce it with various thunder powers..." Meanwhile, outside the cave-dwelling in the front garden, over a hundred thousand cultivators finally saw Emperor Luo Feng appear.

"He's out!""Emperor Luo Feng has appeared!"

These cultivators were somewhat excited. They saw a black-haired, black-clad man walk out first, followed by Dao Lord Longjiu and Emperor Jike. Behind them were Buxiu, Baiyin, Chizheng, Yanfeng, and Leiting – the five of them.

Suddenly, these cultivators felt an incredibly terrifying aura emanating from the black-haired, black-clad man. The heavens and earth trembled! Rules warped! The surrounding space began to grow dim and dark! All the cultivators felt that in front of this black-haired, black-clad man, they would be easily torn to shreds.

Luo Feng's aura was unleashed and then immediately retracted! The cultivators present instantly fell silent, not daring to make the slightest sound.

"I am Luo Feng," the black-haired, black-clad man said with a smile, looking at them. "I haven't been cultivating for very long, so I wouldn't dare claim to answer all your cultivation dilemmas! Today, I will merely share some of my own cultivation experiences, hoping to inspire you all."

"Thank you, Emperor Luo Feng," all the cultivators bowed respectfully. They understood clearly that an invincible being had no obligation to guide them; receiving guidance was a great favor. "Please ask your questions," Luo Feng stated.

"Excuse me, Emperor Luo Feng," a cultivator asked, "besides the known 'Ultimate Bloodline Awakening', are there other ways to escape the mortal coil?"

Luo Feng looked at Dao Lord Longjiu beside him. They had discussed this earlier: Emperor Jike would answer bloodline-related questions, Dao Lord Longjiu would answer many hidden truths, and Luo Feng himself would answer questions about enlightenment.

"There are three main ways to escape the mortal coil," Dao Lord Longjiu explained. "First is the Ultimate Bloodline Awakening. Second is to control the origin of a source world and directly become its master. Third is to break through with sheer power, ascending from the semi-Primordial Chaos level directly to become a Primordial Chaos Lord."

"How many ways are there to control the origin of a source world?" another cultivator pressed. "The origin of a source world contains multiple Great Daos. One only needs to leave a soul imprint on more than half of these Great Daos to have a chance of mastering the source world," Dao Lord Longjiu chuckled. "A source world's origin has at least nine Great Daos! So, one must cultivate at least five Great Daos to the God-King Second Realm."

"At least proficient in five Great Daos? And they must also align with the Great Daos of the source world?" Everyone present knew how incredibly difficult this was. Being proficient in one Dao was most common. Cultivating two Daos simultaneously was much rarer! There were only about a thousand peak-level beings in the Dark Saint Realm. Cultivating three Daos simultaneously was even rarer. Dao Lord Longjiu, for instance, was valued by Lord 'Starlight' precisely because he could cultivate three Daos to the semi-Primordial Chaos level! Lord Starlight had specifically helped him choose a compatible source world for his reincarnation. Even if one reached the semi-Primordial Chaos level in their three proficient Daos, it was still extremely difficult to reach the God-King Second Realm in Daos they were not proficient in.

"I am proficient in the Daos of Life, Destruction, and Life-Death. However, a source world would not simultaneously contain all three of these Daos," Luo Feng knew this. To comprehend at least five Daos that a source world happens to possess, and to cultivate all of them to at least the God-King Second Realm, was a feat rarely seen even across vast world clusters.

"Besides mastering more than half of the Great Daos, there's another method: the Faith Propagation method," Longjiu said. "By spreading faith within a source world, when every living being within that world believes you are its master, then the source world's primal consciousness will also recognize you as its master! However, the 'Faith Propagation method' is even more difficult than mastering more than half of the Great Daos!"

"Are there any other ways to become the master of a source world?" a cultivator pressed.

"If you were born in a certain source world, even if you escape the mortal coil, you would not be rejected by that source world!" Dao Lord Longjiu chuckled. "If you rely on your Primordial Chaos bloodline to become a world-level Primordial Chaos being, you could also spend a long time gradually refining the source world's origin. Alternatively, if you break through with sheer power to directly become a Primordial Chaos Lord, refining your home source world's origin would be instantaneous."

The cultivators present understood. They could either rely on certain methods, such as mastering more than half of the Great Daos or the Faith Propagation method, to control their home source world. Or, they could rely on sheer strength! After becoming a world-level Primordial Chaos being or a Primordial Chaos Lord, they could refine their home source world.

"How does one break through with sheer power?" another cultivator asked. Jike and Dao Lord Longjiu both looked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng replied, "Senior Yuan and the others have all said that comprehending a Primordial Chaos-level Dao means mastering the highest level of power, allowing one to break through with sheer power! This directly makes one the most powerful Primordial Chaos life-form."

"We have long since comprehended a semi-Primordial Chaos level Dao and feel it's quite complete. Adding even a shred more feels like a burden. How then can one comprehend a Primordial Chaos-level Dao?" a cultivator asked, puzzled.

"Of the three ways to become a Primordial Chaos life-form—bloodline awakening, master of a source world, and breaking through with sheer power—the last is the most difficult," Luo Feng stated.

"Although cultivation at the God-Emperor stage also involves groping in the dark, every step of progress can be felt as an increase in strength," Luo Feng said. "Moreover, ultimately, it's still exploration within the confines of the mortal coil, which is relatively smooth."

"However, breaking through from a semi-Primordial Chaos Dao to a Primordial Chaos-level Dao means breaking out of the mortal coil! On the foundation of a semi-Primordial Chaos Dao, continuing to add profundities yields no discernible increase in strength, making one unsure whether their explorations are correct or not," Luo Feng continued. "Without a noticeable increase in strength, blindly fumbling in this manner is what 'cultivating in true darkness' really means. One must grope in the dark to discover a complete Primordial Chaos-level Dao."

Luo Feng looked at the cultivators present. "In my view, if one cannot even comprehend more than seventy percent of a high-grade Primordial Chaos bloodline, then don't even think about breaking through with sheer power."

All the cultivators were stunned. They had previously been fantasizing about breaking through with sheer power. The highest difficulty? Blindly fumbling in the dark? But what if they truly got lucky and stumbled upon a Primordial Chaos-level Dao?

"If one can comprehend seventy percent of a high-grade Primordial Chaos bloodline, they could already use that bloodline to directly become a high-grade Primordial Chaos life-form," a cultivator remarked.

"There's no luck involved in breaking through with sheer power," Luo Feng told them. "Comprehending at least seventy percent of a 'high-grade Primordial Chaos bloodline' is, in my opinion, merely the first requirement for breaking through with sheer power! As for truly 'breaking through with sheer power', I don't know how far away I am myself. Its actual requirements are probably many times higher than what I've stated."

Having studied numerous low-grade and several high-grade Primordial Chaos bloodlines, Luo Feng had gained a certain understanding of Primordial Chaos life-forms that had escaped the mortal coil. He had even used the Book of Wisdom and the Eye of Life-Death to study the Eye of Life-Death itself and the blood-scaled Star Tower! Luo Feng vaguely had a realization: once one comprehends a Primordial Chaos-level Dao, they can master the highest level of power! Therefore, a Primordial Chaos-level Dao should be no weaker than the profound bloodline secrets of a 'Primordial Chaos Ancestor'. It should be no less profound than that single bloody scale from the Star Tower. Luo Feng knew what level the Star Tower's bloody scale was at! If a Primordial Chaos-level Dao was at the same level, then his own 'semi-Primordial Chaos Life-Death Dao' was still incomparably far from it.

"I vaguely suspect what level a Primordial Chaos-level Dao would be. But right now, I can only gaze upon it from afar," Luo Feng knew he was still very far off. In his opinion, the seventy percent comprehension threshold for a high-grade Primordial Chaos bloodline that he mentioned was already set very low. It was meant to make most cultivators abandon their unrealistic hopes. If they couldn't even grasp a high-grade Primordial Chaos bloodline, attempting to break through with sheer power was a pure waste of time!

This discussion on cultivation lasted for three days. Luo Feng, Emperor Jike, and Dao Lord Longjiu provided some answers regarding methods to escape the mortal coil and other confusions about the Dao. Luo Feng primarily answered questions related to the paths of life and destruction; for other paths, he admittedly lacked proficiency. Buxiu, Baiyin, Chizheng, and many other peak-level beings also discussed the Dao one by one. Luo Feng, Longjiu, and Jike listened attentively as well, as everyone had their own areas of expertise. Three days later, the discussion concluded. The cultivators departed feeling satisfied, having gained much from the exchange.

Luo Feng returned to the large Primordial Chaos Hall. "There were even cultivators who had personally witnessed wars between the innate Primordial Chaos life-form faction and the cultivator faction," he mused. His own cultivation journey was relatively short, but other cultivators had lived longer and experienced more. Some cultivators, for instance, were originally from the Beigu World Cluster, which later fell. Certain cultivators from source worlds were then transferred to the Dark Saint Realm. There were also cultivators who had seen their home source worlds devoured by innate Primordial Chaos life-forms. These cultivators could only immediately annihilate their home avatars, thus becoming cultivators without a home source world. "It sounds like the cultivator faction is at a complete disadvantage," Luo Feng thought. "Senior Yuan and the others have also released more treasures for cultivators to exchange and purchase."

In the early days, the large Primordial Chaos Hall of the Dark Saint Realm had relatively few treasures available for exchange or purchase. However, as the war situation deteriorated, more and more treasures were released! "I still have over thirty million merits unexchanged; I can take a good look at how many treasures Senior Yuan and the others have prepared."

Inside the large Primordial Chaos Hall. "It costs a billion Primordial Chaos Crystals to tour all the treasures—quite expensive," Luo Feng paid casually. Immediately, a female puppet life-form with short silver hair and golden eyes, whose smile carried a natural hint of allure, appeared beside him. "Cultivator Luo Feng, I will guide you through all the treasures in the entire large Primordial Chaos Hall," the silver-haired woman said. "What would you like to see first?" "Let's see the Primordial Chaos prisoners," Luo Feng said, very interested in seeing these living high-grade Primordial Chaos life-forms. "The large Primordial Chaos Hall holds over thirty thousand high-grade Primordial Chaos life-forms, all of which are spoils of war captured by our cultivator faction," the silver-haired woman stated. "I will show them to you one by one."
