Chapter 381: Avoid War

Before this war, only three Chaos Origin Ancestors had died in total. Through the crucible of war, the remaining Ancestors had become more experienced, and the Lords' side hadn't achieved any victories for a long time. But now, two more Ancestors have died!

"Lord Jin's technique, the realm of destruction, is indeed superior to mine." Among the group of Ancestors, a restrained black light glowed, within which stood a figure resembling both a human and a bird. This was Ancestor Extinction, one of the Nine Emperors of the Born Chaos Origin Life camp, and among the top three. Six of the Nine Emperors were participating in this battle: four immortal beings, along with Ancestor Endless and Ancestor Extinction.

"This new Lord has the ability to instantly restore his comrades to their peak strength; he is the key." Ancestor Extinction observed Luo Feng from afar. "Great Serpent, Endless, Initial, I will try to deal with the new Lord!" Ancestor Extinction's voice resonated in the minds of his three companions. "If I cannot break this node, we will temporarily avoid battle!" Ancestor Infinite Serpent, Ancestor Endless, and Initial all agreed. This group of Ancestors had many coordinated strategies, some of which they were reluctant to choose. But given the dire situation, if Ancestor Extinction also failed, avoiding battle would be their only option.

Though it takes time to describe, the Ancestors' mental communication was instantaneous. They attacked together, targeting the new Lord. Ancestor Extinction's voice echoed in the minds of six other Ancestors, who included Thousand Eyes, a charmed creature, and a strange beast shimmering with starlight. "With Ancestor Extinction leading and six Ancestors assisting, coordinating our attacks, the new Lord shall be extinguished!" a detached voice resounded in Luo Feng's soul.

As Luo Feng was attacked, Lord Ming Huang also incinerated her primary combat avatar. Her body melted into terrifying golden lightning bolts that pierced through spatiotemporal barriers, locking onto severely wounded Ancestors, making escape impossible once targeted. Endless light spread, and illusions appeared, as the Ancestors tried everything to help their companions. Ancestor Extinction had a premonition that if they could severely wound this new Lord, the situation would change.

"Boom!" Luo Feng felt his soul struck by a vast, unyielding mountain. The enemy's power coalesced into a gigantic hammer encompassing heaven and earth, striking his soul with immense force. This was a combined attack on his mind and body from seven Ancestors, including Ancestor Extinction, Ancestor Thousand Eyes, and Ancestor Star Net! Instantly, Luo Feng's soul rumbled, and an invisible force permeated every part of his body, leading his physical form towards collapse and destruction!

"Is it Ancestor Extinction and their group?" Even as his soul rumbled, Luo Feng remained absolutely clear-headed, pursuing the extreme strength of life. The Path of Chaos Origin Life and Death contains six major systems, and the Mind and Consciousness System is a crucial part of it. This makes his soul extremely powerful among Lords of the same level, and terrifyingly strong compared to those Ancestors!

Enduring the full-force attack from Ancestor Extinction and the others, he remained unharmed. His 180 million origin units could restore one-tenth of their energy every second. This terrifying recovery ability quickly expelled all foreign energy from his body.

"We have failed!" Ancestor Extinction sighed softly as he watched from afar, this outcome having been within his expectations. Ancestor Thousand Eyes, Ancestor Star Net, and the others were all quite helpless. The Ancestors' combined attacks were usually affected by Yuan's formations, passing through and being weakened by multiple Lords' domains. Yuan's formations guided the attacks, making Wu Lan bear most of them, while Luo Feng also bore a smaller portion.

However, Ancestor Extinction and the other six's mind-based killing move could bypass Yuan's formations and domain obstructions, directly entering Luo Feng's body. Using this technique, the Born Chaos Origin Life camp had killed several beings of similar level from other factions.

Yet, this killing move had a weaker effect against the eight Lords of the Cultivator camp. Each Lord was immortal and indestructible. Even enduring this attack, only Lord Naigu and Lord Jin would be affected, suffering damaged strength; the others feared nothing. This technique could not lock onto Lord Starbeam, nor could it touch Yuan's soul. Wu Lan easily withstood all attacks, and Luo Feng also endured them. Lord Ming Huang and Moman were both extremely powerful in mental defense. If they resisted mentally, their physical injuries would be minor. In the past, targeting Lord Naigu and Lord Jin with this technique had indeed caused crises for the Lords' side. However, with Luo Feng's arrival, the Lords' defensive capabilities had fully improved!

"Avoid battle!" Ancestor Endless's voice echoed in the mind of every Ancestor. Under Ming Huang's furious lightning strike, Ancestor Endless instantly transformed into vast, boundless light that immediately covered the wide region where the Ancestors were, assimilating the bodies of many Ancestors. The boundless light suddenly contracted, shrinking into a single point and receding into a colossal sphere. All other Ancestors in the vast space vanished, leaving only a giant sphere in their original location. They had avoided battle!

The eight figures looked at the colossal sphere, not even feeling the urge to make a move. "Hahaha, what a thrill, what a thrill! After calculating for such a long time before, we only managed to kill one Ancestor with the weakest life-saving ability. This time, we killed three in a very short period!" Jin laughed heartily, feeling incredibly exhilarated. Treating the technique of incinerating his primary combat avatar as something he could use every second was simply wonderful!

"Starbeam, you got all three Ancestor corpses, right?" Ming Huang looked at Starbeam. In her final moment of attack, where she burned her primary combat avatar, even with the Ancestors' full defensive retreat, she still successfully killed one. "Don't worry, no one surpasses me in spatial-temporal mastery. The moment you killed them, I pulled their bodies into another timeline!" Starbeam laughed. Once an Ancestor died and lost the ability to resist, he could immediately collect their bodies.

"Fortunately, we concealed Luo Feng's breakthrough information beforehand, catching these Ancestors off guard, which allowed for such a great victory!" Yuan also felt exhilarated and relieved. The war situation had completely reversed. Didn't they see that group of Ancestors hiding inside Initial's body, directly avoiding battle? One must remember that during the previous war, the Ancestor side held the advantage. No matter how Starbeam calculated, he couldn't contend with them. Due to the absolute gap in strength, he could only watch as territories fell step by step. Now, everything had changed, forcing the Ancestors to choose to avoid battle.

"If it had been exposed beforehand, with the Born Chaos Origin Life camp's mastery and a confirmed target, they could have deduced a lot of information. They might have sent reinforcements or temporarily retreated," Starbeam said.

Luo Feng looked at the giant sphere in the distance and said, "Do we have absolutely no way to deal with Ancestor Initial? If the eight of us unite, can we move it to a dangerous place in the Infinite Chaos Origin Space?"

"We truly have no way to deal with it!" Yuan nodded. "No one in the entire Infinite Chaos Origin Space can do anything about it!" Starbeam also added.

Luo Feng had studied Ancestor Initial's intelligence. The reports stated that Ancestor Initial represented the ultimate defense of the Infinite Chaos Origin Space. It was indestructible and unshakeable, but it moved slowly and attacked clumsily. There was no need to bother with it; it could be treated as nonexistent. "Its body is very special," Wu Lan said. "In terms of toughness, it's comparable to me, but its body also has an astonishing ability to perfectly deflect power. Even if I attack with full force, ninety-nine percent of the power will be diverted and nullified!"

Jin added, "The remaining mere one percent of power then has to contend with a toughness similar to Wu Lan's body!" Luo Feng was astonished! Jin was exceptionally skilled at killing enemies among the Lords; yet, ninety-nine percent of his technique's power could be nullified. In the Infinite Chaos Origin Space, if other beings attacked, it would be good if a mere thousandth or ten-thousandth of their power remained.

"Where it is, it's like a fixed point in space-time; it cannot be shaken or moved," Starbeam said. "No one can move it?" Luo Feng sighed in wonder.

Wu Lan said, "If the power were strong enough, it might be possible to move it! But after our power is diverted and nullified, perhaps only a thousandth remains, so naturally, we cannot shake it." Luo Feng understood.

"Brother Luo Feng, you can give it a try!" Ming Huang laughed. "You can chop at it as much as you like; it won't fight back!" "Even if it did fight back, it would be negligible!" Moman also laughed. Luo Feng knew that among all Ancestors, Ancestor Initial's deterrent power ranked in the lower middle, and it was far inferior compared to the Lords.

Every single Lord was comparable to the highest-tier Ancestors.

"I'll try!" Luo Feng was quite curious about the strongest defensive entity in the entire Infinite Chaos Origin Space.

He looked at the large sphere ahead. It was even more ponderous than a Source World, even serving as a fixed point in space-time. Just by looking at it, Luo Feng could sense the numerous profound laws it embodied: the profoundness of life, the profoundness of matter, countless profound principles perfectly integrated. It was a miraculous existence in itself!

Luo Feng stretched out his hand, and the Riftblade appeared. "Whoosh!" The Riftblade instantly traversed the spatial-temporal distance, carrying boundless power as it struck the colossal sphere. Yet, the moment it hit, Luo Feng felt as if the blade had cleaved through empty space, without any sensation of contact!

Even when a fraction of the power followed the life-lock and forced its way through, only a faint gleam of the blade light managed to touch the surface of the giant sphere! This was merely one-thousandth of the blade light's power, and the sphere showed not even a trace of it! Starbeam laughed, "Luo Feng, the fact that you could even strike it... is quite impressive!"

The colossal sphere suddenly emitted a deep, resonant voice: "This Lord who attacked is your Cultivator camp's eighth Lord. Your Cultivator camp truly has good fortune, to produce a new Lord during the war of annihilation."

"Initial, have you decided whether to continue the war or end it?" Yuan looked at it. "If you wish to continue, we will oblige!"

Beside the colossal sphere, four avatars suddenly appeared: Ancestor Infinite Serpent, Ancestor Endless, Ancestor Extinction, and Ancestor Derivation Fire. These were the core belligerents among the Nine Emperors of the Born Chaos Origin Life camp!

"Do you really think adding one more Lord means you can win?" Ancestor Infinite Serpent coiled in the void, staring at Luo Feng and the eight of them.

"The Cultivator camp is our food; you have no right to resist!" "Your food?" Jin laughed. "We Lords are immortal and indestructible; you Ancestors are our food! Hunting you down, turning each of you into resources for our cultivation... Let's see, as of now, we've killed about twenty Ancestors, haven't we? And not a single one of our Lords is missing!"

"Yes, twenty Ancestors have died," Ancestor Extinction said calmly. "But your death threats have also led to the birth of thirty-two new Ancestors! The ones who died were weak; those who survived are stronger!"
