Chapter 375: The Path of Hunyuan Birth and Extinction

Volume 10, Chapter 13: Way of Chaos Origin Life and Death (Part 1/2)

Luo Feng's origin system differs from the Ancestors' 'Life Nuclei'.

The Ancestors' Life Nuclei are innate. They improve step-by-step with evolution, encompassing the mysteries of many laws, endless energy, and even souls! Thus, if a Life Nucleus shatters, the Ancestor perishes.

Lords clearly have no fatal weaknesses, so Luo Feng naturally wouldn't create one for himself. After comprehending the mysteries of origin, he created an origin system most suitable for him.

Luo Feng's origin does not encompass the soul! It merely stores endless energy! It has no evolutionary capability and doesn't contain a soul. It's a simplified 'Life Nucleus'.

A single origin is far inferior to an Ancestor's Life Nucleus. However, with the immense power of billions of origins, it would far surpass the Ancestors.

"Stripping away weaknesses, drawing upon strengths, grasping the essence.""Chaos Origin as foundation, consciousness as guide, creation and destruction interwoven, transforming into origin."

Billions of origins cannot evolve on their own. And Luo Feng doesn't need them to!As cultivators, their strength lies in comprehending the essence of power! If the Way is immortal, then the Lord is immortal.

"This time, it's far more perfect than the previous fifteen avatars. I'm sure to make further progress towards the 'Way of Chaos Origin Life and Death'." Luo Feng had failed tens of millions of times, so he didn't expect to succeed this time. But as long as there was progress, he was getting closer to success.

The Initial Land.

"Brother Heavenly Wolf could break through from a High-level Chaos Origin Life to a World-level Chaos Origin Life, and he did so by comprehending his bloodline – truly remarkable!" Three figures gathered, drinking and chatting, and a man with curved horns on his head exclaimed.

"It was also luck, just happening to encounter a Chaos Origin bloodline that perfectly suited me," Heavenly Wolf Guest humbly replied. He remained modest in front of World-level Chaos Origin Lives, knowing this was likely his limit.

"Comprehending over seventy percent of a World-level Chaos Origin bloodline, Brother Heavenly Wolf has a deep foundation and is likely to reach World-level Chaos Origin perfection," another red-nosed old man praised.

Heavenly Wolf Guest smiled slightly. He had always strived to comprehend over seventy percent of his bloodline, hoping to reach World-level Chaos Origin perfection. Of course, this was also his limit.

He heard that those who cultivated the Fusion Way, even before escaping the cage, could comprehend multiple World-level Chaos Origin bloodlines with such low thought processing speed and comprehension! Their comprehension potential was far greater than his, Heavenly Wolf Guest's.

Among those who cultivated the Fusion Way and pursued the bloodline path, none could become Lords except for 'Lord Naigu'. Heavenly Wolf Guest, having cultivated from a High-level Chaos Origin Life, saw no hope of becoming a Lord.

"Brother Heavenly Wolf is the 186th World-level Chaos Origin Life on the bloodline path," the horned man said. "The bloodline path has also produced 'Lord Naigu'; perhaps we too can create a miracle and produce a Lord."

"Brother Guangyu, your talent is high, so you might have hope. I have no such aspirations at all," the red-nosed old man laughed heartily. "I've explored my bloodline's potential to become a World-level Chaos Origin Life. As for a Lord, I wouldn't even dare to dream."

"I wouldn't dare to dream either," Heavenly Wolf Guest said. "Brother Guangyu, you cultivate the Fusion Way; your talent is far superior to ours."

The horned man simply smiled. Before escaping the cage, he had comprehended five World-level Chaos Origin bloodlines. After becoming a World-level Chaos Origin Life, with the immense elevation in his life level, he could easily comprehend hundreds of World-level Chaos Origin bloodlines. This was a very common standard among Fusion Way cultivators. Only someone like Lord Naigu or Lord Xingmang, who could comprehend hundreds of World-level Chaos Origin bloodlines even in their weak state before escaping the cage, could truly demonstrate terrifying comprehension potential.

"Brother Heavenly Wolf, it's been several epochs since you became a World-level Chaos Origin Life. Has Lord Yuan not summoned you yet?" the horned man asked.

"No," Heavenly Wolf Guest replied, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Lords have countless avatars, and they constantly have avatars stationed in the Initial Land," the horned man wondered. "Even if they're fighting outside, it doesn't prevent them from receiving juniors or handling ordinary matters. The emergence of a new World-level Chaos Origin Life is quite an important event, so why has it been delayed without being addressed?"

"Lords naturally have their arrangements; we needn't worry about it," the red-nosed old man said with a smile. "We just need to follow the Lord's instructions."

The horned man relaxed and smiled, "Yes, we just need to follow the Lord's instructions."

Heavenly Wolf Guest nodded. As a newly ascended World-level Chaos Origin Life, the lack of arrangement kept him anxious.

The Initial Land, by the dark lake.

Seven Lords gathered here, patiently waiting for the 'turning point' of the war to appear, waiting for their future companion to emerge.

"Hmm?"

Yuan, Jin, Wulan, Minghuang, Naigu, Xingmang, and Moman – the seven Lords – simultaneously looked towards Chaos Origin Island.

"He broke through?" Yuan's eyes held unconcealed joy. He had come a long way from the weakest period of the cultivator faction, when the entire cultivator faction was mere food for the innate Chaos Origin Life faction. He could only protect a small area on his own. Step by step, he reached today, and every birth of a Lord made Yuan happy. Luo Feng's appearance further signified the addition of another powerful being to their cultivator faction.

"Splendid!" Jin smiled, his formerly indifferent silver-scaled face now radiant. "Since he was brought here, he has only truly cultivated for a little over 2.5 billion epochs, and he's already broken through. Xingmang, he's much faster than you."

"It's good that he's fast, very good," Xingmang praised with a smile. "He's still quite young as a newly ascended Lord, but as a Lord of the 'Way of Chaos Origin Life and Death', his path is destined to make him more adept at direct combat than me."

Xingmang existed across countless timelines in the past, present, and future, greatly assisting the cultivator faction in temporal matters. His assassination tactics were the biggest headache for the innate Chaos Origin Life faction. But direct combat! That requires a sufficiently powerful life form and terrifying attacks!

"He breaks laws with sheer power," Wulan sighed. "Just like Xingmang, breaking laws with sheer power!"

"Yes, breaking laws with sheer power." Minghuang, Naigu, and Moman were all greatly agitated. Only as Lords could they truly understand the meaning of 'breaking laws with sheer power'!

Apart from Lord Xingmang, the other six first became World-level Chaos Origin life forms, and only then, leveraging the advantages of this life level's thinking, observation, and comprehension abilities, did they comprehend the Way at the Chaos Origin level. But those who break laws with sheer power are weak beings still under the cage, who forcefully comprehend the supreme Way at the Chaos Origin level.

What incredible comprehension is that? Once they become Lords! After the immense leap in their life level, and their thinking, observation, and comprehension abilities reach a new level, their strength is expected to continue to rise.

Lords indeed grasp the essence of the highest level of power. But there are still differences in strength; Lord Xingmang has taken that step! Even 'Yuan', the oldest in cultivation, has taken half a step. In their view, Luo Feng, who breaks laws with sheer power, will surely be able to take that step as well!

"The Initial Land is already special, and after being refined and arrayed by the seven of us Lords, it's hidden within this space-time. All auras and movements here are completely concealed," Lord Naigu said. "However, Luo Feng's avatar in his homeworld, once it attempts to break through, will be discovered by the outside."

"Don't worry, I've locked onto the space-time of Luo Feng's cultivation cave dwelling. The moment Luo Feng completely breaks through, I will immediately remind him," Xingmang said.

The other Lords all nodded.

"Luo Feng's breakthrough must be kept secret," Yuan said. "Only then can our sneak attack succeed."

"We must hit these Ancestors hard! Make them pay a sufficient price," Jin said, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"This war has been our greatest loss. Many world clusters have fallen, and countless beings have perished," Minghuang said, golden lightning flashing in his eyes. "We must make these Ancestors pay a painful price!"

The birth of a new Lord must be kept secret. If Luo Feng's breakthrough is exposed, the Ancestors might temporarily retreat. Even if they don't, if they're mentally prepared and conserve their strength to counter a sneak attack, its effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

"First, let's wait for Luo Feng to fully break through," Yuan said.

The seven Lords were all observing the cultivation cave dwelling on the peak of Chaos Origin Island.

Luo Feng absorbed the lessons from his previous fifteen avatars. This time, as he attempted to create the 'Way of Chaos Origin Life and Death', he was prepared for failure and for enduring long epochs of struggle. However, to Luo Feng's surprise, when he was halfway through creating the 'Way of Chaos Origin Life and Death' this time, unusual phenomena began to appear.

Wisps of deep azure power appeared around the secret pattern diagram, circling the patterns and flowing with them. Luo Feng could feel that these wisps of deep azure power were a certain kind of supreme power.

"The Way is power."

Luo Feng could perceive this process. Chaos Origin power is the most fundamental power existing in the infinite Chaos Origin Space. However, this power was attracted by the 'Way' that Luo Feng had mostly formed, naturally transformed by the Way, and converted into supreme power.

"More than half of the Way is already supreme power," Luo Feng understood. This time, he was on the right path, and he had already completed the most crucial core part.

"The final stretch is often the most challenging," he thought. "At this point, I must give my all."

Luo Feng continued to refine the Way of Chaos Origin Life and Death, incorporating secret patterns into it. The vast secret pattern diagram contained azure, black, and deep azure patterns. In the outer regions of the diagram, azure and black patterns were intertwined. But the deeper he went, the more the two-colored patterns gradually merged, finally becoming one, transforming into deep azure patterns that formed the origin.

As the mental consciousness system was also completely finished, the entire secret pattern diagram glowed with a faint golden light. With the final step, the physical body system was also fully completed. The secret pattern diagram emitted a faint bloody light, which resembled the blood scales of the Star Tower.

"Boom!"

A vast and perfect secret pattern diagram appeared. Luo Feng gazed at it; it was the culmination of his endless efforts, the most perfect Way he had comprehended! The moment it was completed, Luo Feng could feel his life being extended through the 'Way'.

In the past, Luo Feng had to rely on his avatars to survive. But now, the Way was also a part of his life. He could exist by relying on the 'Way'; wherever the Way was, he was. He could project avatars across infinitely vast areas, and though small, these avatars could absorb energy and grow.

"Finally, I have finally created the Way of Chaos Origin Life and Death." Luo Feng's emotions surged as he looked at the multi-hued secret pattern diagram before him. With a thought, the diagram vanished without a trace.

The Way could manifest physically or be utterly formless.

"I finally did it."

He had succeeded in just over 2.5 billion epochs of actual cultivation time! Less than two thousand epochs had passed in the outside world, a period so brief that the war situation hadn't changed much. The Original Continent's Origin World was still intact.

"Luo Feng, congratulations on taking this step," Lord Xingmang's voice echoed in Luo Feng's ears.
