Chapter 382: The Most Wonderful

Yuan, usually characterized by his smiling face and excellent temper, now looked at the Primordial Ancestors before him with a cold expression. "Over the long ages, your Innate Primordial Lifeform Faction has lost twenty Primordial Ancestors to our hands. You've also clashed with other factions, losing another fifteen. Yet, you've only birthed a total of thirty-two Primordial Ancestors... By calculation, your overall number has decreased."

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the others' expressions subtly changed.

Indeed, as the largest race in the Infinite Primordial Chaos Space, their number of Primordial Ancestors had slightly decreased since their repeated battles with the Cultivator Faction! This was also why some Primordial Ancestors within their faction were unwilling to fight against the Cultivator Faction.

"Don't your eight presences prove that individual strength is more important?" The mass of endless light, emanating immense pressure, declared, "Innate Primordial Lifeforms are born with infinite lifespans, and thus should use that endless life to pursue the pinnacle of strength."

The Annihilation Ancestor also stated, "To pursue ultimate power, one must have the determination to spare nothing! Even if we fail and are completely annihilated, we will embrace it gladly!" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the Evolving Fire Ancestor looked at the eight Overlords. These Overlords, through their battles, and with two of them having reached the state of immortality, appeared even more composed.

"The origin of my Source World is the best resource for the Innate Primordial Lifeform Faction. Even if I no longer need it, the entire faction does!" the Infinite Serpent Ancestor said. "My other Infinite race members also need it! Yuan, the 3,600 prosperous world clusters that you monopolize..."

"There are countless Source Worlds!" the Evolving Fire Ancestor said. "If you are willing to concede and retreat to the 1,100 world clusters, our Innate Primordial Lifeform Faction can take a step back and cease hostilities!"

The eight Overlords watched them with cold indifference, disdaining to refute. "Then you just wait!" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the others retreated back into the body of the Primal Ancestor.

The Primal Ancestor, having reached the pinnacle of its own path, could calmly observe the trials and tribulations of the entire Infinite Primordial Chaos Space. No matter how powerful a force, it could not threaten it in the slightest! However, as a member of the Innate Primordial Lifeform Faction, it was also willing to help its kin.

"They are seeking reinforcements!" Star Radiance said. Its avatars, traversing numerous future timelines, had already glimpsed too many possibilities. "Although there are some within the Innate Primordial Lifeform Faction who oppose warring with us, to save their many Primordial Ancestors and ensure their faction's advantage, powerful forces should come to their aid!"

Luo Feng and the other seven all deeply trusted Star Radiance's words! These Primordial Ancestors hid within the Primal Ancestor's body because they couldn't retreat; before Overlord Star Radiance, who excelled in spatial-temporal mastery, they couldn't escape. Their retreat would create many openings, and under the combined, full-scale assault of the eight Overlords, several more Primordial Ancestors would likely perish! Hiding within the Primal Ancestor's body and awaiting reinforcements was their best option!

"How many Primordial Ancestors will come as reinforcements?" Yuan asked.

Star Radiance replied, "At least thirty Primordial Ancestors will arrive to support them."

Luo Feng, Jin, Minghuang, Moman, Naigu, and Wulan—the six of them—all changed expression slightly upon hearing this. With so many Primordial Ancestors arriving, there would then be over a hundred Primordial Ancestors collaborating. That power would be truly terrifying!

"When the fate of a race is at stake, the Nine Emperors will also convene!" Star Radiance solemnly stated. "We must be prepared."

"We'll focus on defense, willing to forgo some opportunities to ensure our battle formation remains stable! Then, we'll wait for a chance to counterattack," Yuan said. "With Luo Feng present, we don't fear prolonged battles!"

Immediately, Yuan, Jin, Wulan, Minghuang, Naigu, Star Radiance, Moman, and Luo Feng—the eight Overlords—naturally formed a battle array, enveloping the area where the Primal Ancestor was located and standing guard. If any of the weaker Primordial Ancestors dared to emerge in their true forms, they would be encircled and eliminated by the eight Overlords!

The Eternal Land! This was a place where only beings who had achieved the level of immortality within the entire Infinite Primordial Chaos Space were qualified to reside and hold a seat. It was a land naturally nurtured by the Infinite Primordial Chaos Space! Even a speck of dust on this land could suppress a high-level Primordial Lifeform! The invisible pressure of the Eternal Land could turn a World-level Primordial Lifeform into dust! Over ninety percent of the Primordial Ancestors from the Innate Primordial Lifeform Faction, for example, were not even qualified to come here!

On this vast, flat land, there was only one ancient, rustic round table, adorned with endless arcane patterns. Forty-eight seats surrounded the table, and currently, three figures were seated there! The distances within the Infinite Primordial Chaos Space were too vast, so they habitually met here.

"The eighth Cultivator Overlord!" A mass of grayish mist on one of the seats formed an eye on its surface, watching the distant battle with interest. "The Cultivator Faction is too unique. They are all weak beings from within Source Worlds who, step by step, cultivate to eventually grasp the essence of supreme power, reaching a level comparable to ours. It's truly special; each of them is quite powerful! I quite admire Star Radiance and am good friends with Minghuang."

A figure in white battle armor watched from afar with indifference. "But that one named Jin is too despicable, too shameless. Last time in the Abyss of Destruction, he couldn't defeat me in a direct fight, yet he ambushed me while I was battling. I despise such vile individuals the most!" The figure in white battle armor exuded an incredibly intense destructive aura!

Overlord Jin, Overlord Moman, and Overlord Naigu—these three were considered the most despicable among the Cultivator Faction!

A winged creature sat there, his face peaceful, his warm white feathers radiating a restrained, ordinary aura. Yet he was also one of the beings standing at the pinnacle of the Infinite Primordial Chaos Space. "Overlord Naigu couldn't threaten me one-on-one, but he teamed up with Overlord Jin and Overlord Moman... three Overlords ganging up on just me."

"Haha, I heard all your feathers were plucked!" the figure in white battle armor laughed heartily!

"Kafuxiu!" The feathered creature roared in fury!

"My mistake, my mistake!" the figure in white battle armor said, waving a hand. Before him appeared a tragic scene of the feathered creature gravely injured, most of its feathers fallen, only short down remaining, and blood covering its entire body. "Oh dear, I certainly remembered wrong, there are still many feathers!"

The feathered creature glared at him!

The figure in white battle armor then smilingly dismissed the image. At his level, collecting "humorous material" about peers was a great hobby! He had no race, no companions, existing in solitude, yet had attained such power! He could only find amusement for himself. The feathered creature endured it, as he had descendants, unlike Kafuxiu, who existed alone, feared no one, and dared to get involved wherever there was excitement!

The grayish mist that was Emperor Kafuxiu, however, looked at the distant battlefield, where the eight Overlords, by working together, could suppress seventy-three Primordial Ancestors, kill three, and force the remaining seventy to retreat! These Cultivator Overlords were indeed very formidable!

"When those eight combine forces, they are an extremely powerful entity even throughout the Infinite Primordial Chaos Space!" Emperor Feather nodded; he felt rather envious! This was because in the race he led, only he was qualified to reside in the Eternal Land!

"The Cultivator Faction has gained the upper hand!"

***

"We also encroached upon three of the Cultivator Faction's world clusters. When the war ends... will the eight Overlords target us?" Some ancient beings watched the battlefield from afar, growing somewhat uneasy! When the major factions clashed, other factions also took the opportunity to seize two or three world clusters, some even occupying over a hundred. They had originally believed the Cultivator Faction was sure to fail! The Innate Primordial Lifeform Faction had seized the most world clusters, and they thought they could get a share. But now the situation had reversed, and if the Cultivator Faction won, those eight Overlords probably wouldn't let things rest!

There were twelve forces that had taken the opportunity to encroach upon world clusters. Did the Cultivator Faction have the guts to wage full-scale war against all twelve? These twelve forces varied in strength, with the most powerful being the Ice Peak Faction. The Ice Peak Faction was an alliance formed by twelve beings from the Eternal Land. Although their numbers were far fewer than the Innate Primordial Lifeform Faction, in terms of power, the Ice Peak Faction was even more terrifying, because most of them had no racial concerns. Their actions were naturally much more domineering and savage. They didn't really care about the origin of Source Worlds; what they needed were the extremely unique and valuable resources nurtured within certain territories! In the Ice Peak Faction's view, merely occupying over a hundred world clusters was already being quite considerate to the Cultivator Faction. After all, if they exerted their full power, they could seize several times that territory!

"And we've only occupied just over a hundred world clusters. What can the Cultivator Faction do? Do they dare to wage war against us?" The Ice Peak Faction simply didn't care about the Cultivator Faction's territory!

The Dark World Cluster, Origin Continent Source World!

Luo Feng stood on a pavilion of the City Lord's manor in Huyang City. At this moment, his body had undergone a complete transformation. Although his energy reserves were only one percent of his total, this reserve was already comparable to Overlord Moman's main combat avatar, who was the smallest in stature among the Overlords!

"The Cultivator Faction faces too many crises!" Luo Feng only understood many of these secrets after his breakthrough! Wherever there are people on Earth, there are struggles! In the Infinite Primordial Chaos Space, there were also various conflicts! The Innate Primordial Lifeform Faction was considered the most hostile force, but with other factions, there were also contradictions, large and small!

"It's truly remarkable that Elder Brother Yuan could come all this way from his most humble beginnings!" Luo Feng knew that the Cultivator Faction's situation was much better than in its early days, as with the emergence of Overlord Star Radiance and several other Overlords, the Cultivator Faction's crises could be resolved one by one!

Luo Feng was patient. As an Overlord, with an infinitely long lifespan, he had all the time in the world to continue fighting. Every Overlord was full of confidence in their future! This was the most wonderful aspect of becoming an Overlord!

As a being from his home Source World, even after becoming an Overlord, the Source World's origin still offered no resistance, allowing Luo Feng's power to easily permeate it. He effortlessly refined and controlled the entire origin, taking complete command of his home Source World, as if it had become another one of his physical bodies! At this moment, the entire Origin Continent Source World held no secrets before him. Everything was completely under his control, including the River of Time that recorded the Origin Continent, and the countless beings flowing within it, whether living or dead. These beings still lived brilliantly along their past timelines! However, for those deceased beings, their timelines had simply stopped at a certain point! Luo Feng could retrieve these beings from the River of Time, allowing their timelines to continue, even sustaining them eternally. Within the confines of the Source World, within this "cage," Luo Feng could indeed grant them eternal life!

"Senior Great Axe..." Luo Feng saw those familiar figures, whether strong or weak. He even saw his teacher, Seated Mountain Guest, when he was still the God King of Jin, and their happy lives in the city. All regrets could be mended! This was the most wonderful thing about becoming an Overlord!

Luo Feng smiled!
