Chapter 383: Support Forces

The first sacred land of the Innate Chaos Origin Life faction is the Infinite World, home to the Infinite Great Serpent clan. Over ten members of the Infinite Great Serpent clan have reached the Ancestor level.

The second sacred land is the Titan Realm. The Titan Realm is a unique world, no less significant than the Infinite World. Beings born here are World-level Chaos Origin Life forms from birth. Their physical size is among the largest within the Innate Chaos Origin Life faction. The species that proliferates in the Titan Realm is known as the Titan Clan, the second-largest group after the Infinite Great Serpent Clan, with ten members reaching the Ancestor level.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor, Great Annihilation Ancestor, Derived Fire Ancestor, and Endless Ancestor can manifest avatars with a single thought and descend upon the Titan Realm. The Titan Realm is inhabited by thousands of colossal beings, the smallest of which are still three percent the size of a Source World.

Some of these behemoths, no smaller than Lord Wulan himself, gazed from afar at the four avatars.

"Infinite Serpent Ancestor, they've arrived," one of the behemoths transmitted, "I heard they were at a disadvantage in their clash with the Cultivator faction!"

"Now they're coming to us, one by one, begging for help!" The behemoths transmitted messages to each other, gloating.

There is significant conflict between the Titan Clan and the Infinite Clan. However, currently, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor holds the most prestige within the Innate Chaos Origin Life faction, as he is not only immensely powerful but also immortal and indestructible.

"Brother Titan!" The four avatars arrived at a spot and observed the colossal being before them.

It was an upright giant beast, its entire body covered in black-gold scales. In addition to its two arms, it possessed a pair of enormous wings. Merely sitting, it was far larger than a single Source World. In terms of size, it could easily rank among the top three in the entire Infinite Chaos Origin World, several times larger than Wulan.

This was the Titan Emperor, one of the Nine Emperors of the Innate Chaos Origin Life, and the leader of the Titan Clan.

Among the Emperors who had not participated in the previous battle, the Titan Emperor was the leader. In terms of direct combat prowess, he was considered among the strongest of the Nine Emperors. However, his life-saving abilities were relatively weaker, and several Cultivator Lords could threaten him, particularly Yuan, who greatly countered him. Consequently, his standing within the Innate Chaos Origin Life faction was much lower than that of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

"I hear you were defeated," the Titan Emperor observed, looking at the four with interest.

"A new Lord appeared, and the eight Lords together proved very challenging," the Infinite Serpent Ancestor replied.

"We truly couldn't win, so we require the help of you three!"

The Titan Emperor nodded slightly, and two formidable powers manifested nearby.

A feathered beast descended, its body shrouded in countless black mists that seemed to coalesce from endless calamities, naturally unleashing devastating power in combat. The other was a corpulent beast, its entire body covered in smooth, multicolored fur that shifted endlessly, each strand containing an endless void. It gazed at the four with a benevolent smile.

The Black Tide Ancestor and the Chaos Beast Ancestor greeted the four avatars.

The Black Tide Ancestor and the Chaos Beast Ancestor are both among the Nine Emperors. Crucially, they do not belong to any specific clan; they are unique entities. Most such unique entities in the Infinite Chaos Origin Void do not consider themselves part of the "Innate Chaos Origin Life faction." However, these two have an excellent relationship with the Titan Emperor and implicitly consider themselves part of the Innate Chaos Origin Life faction. They rarely intervene.

"You all must understand that we cannot afford to lose this battle!" the Infinite Serpent Ancestor stated.

"After all, if we exhaust all our clan's power and still lose to the Cultivator faction, our Innate Chaos Origin Life faction's deterrent power will be greatly diminished in the future!"

"I don't like war," the Titan Emperor sighed softly.

He preferred to observe everything within the Infinite Chaos Origin Space, watching the various conflicts and disputes unfold, content to be a mere bystander.

"I have never withheld resources from the Titan Clan!" the Infinite Serpent Ancestor declared. "Even now, you're still unwilling to participate? The Cultivator faction is stepping all over us!"

The Annihilation Ancestor, Endless Ancestor, and Derived Fire Ancestor also looked at the Titan Emperor.

The Innate Chaos Origin Life faction is divided into two major factions: one centered around the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, and the other around the Titan Emperor.

"I understand, we cannot afford to lose this battle," the Titan Emperor nodded. "However, we are only willing to participate in *this* particular battle. We will withdraw once it concludes."

The Black Tide Ancestor and Chaos Beast Ancestor, standing nearby, also nodded, clearly endorsing the Titan Emperor's statement. "Rest assured!" the Infinite Serpent Ancestor nodded. "The Cultivator faction now has a new Lord who can instantly restore their allies' power to its peak. They have indeed become much more formidable. After we win this battle, I will seize the opportunity to end the war."

The difference between ending a conflict in defeat and ending it in victory is vast. The Infinite Serpent Ancestor needed to demonstrate his faction's overwhelming power by crushing the eight Lords, proving to the entire Infinite Chaos Origin Space that they remained the strongest.

"How much do you know about this new Lord?" the Chaos Beast Ancestor, standing nearby, inquired. "Since we're going to war, we should first understand everything about our opponent."

A bizarre beast with countless sharp claws crawled out of spacetime, its talons capable of easily grasping individual timelines. After emerging, it spoke: "I investigated numerous past timelines and have uncovered the details of the new Lord, Luo Feng!"

"Luo Feng was born in a Source World on the Origin Continent within the Dark World Cluster," the multi-clawed beast reported. "Due to internal restrictions within his Source World, not much is known, but his cultivation period was very brief. He cultivated for less than ten thousand eons to reach what the Cultivator faction calls the pinnacle beneath the 'Cage,' and then, in less than a thousand eons, he directly became a Lord from that state!"

"Directly transforming into a Lord from beneath the 'Cage'..."

The four figures, along with the Titan Emperor, Black Tide Ancestor, and Chaos Beast Ancestor, were all greatly astonished!

"Yes, I found no information about him becoming a World-level Chaos Origin being," the multi-clawed beast confirmed. "In fact, he only refined his home Source World *after* he began participating in battles!"

"Regardless of whether he became a World-level Chaos Origin being or not, did he truly become a Lord from beneath the 'Cage' in less than two thousand eons?" the Titan Emperor couldn't help but ask. "Based on my understanding of the Cultivator system, his talent and potential surpass those of any previous Lord."

"Truly troublesome!" the Infinite Serpent Ancestor also felt a headache coming on.

They watched helplessly as the Cultivator faction rose. While the Infinite Serpent Ancestor himself no longer needed to consume Source World origins, his entire clan, the Infinite Great Serpents, thrived on Source World origins as their primary food source.

For the sake of his clan, he was unwilling to give up.

"They are growing stronger, but so are we, the Innate Chaos Origin Life faction!" the Annihilation Ancestor calmly stated. "It's still uncertain which of the two great factions will win or lose!"

On one side, there are countless Source Worlds, continuously producing new generations of power, potentially leading to the birth of new Lords. On the other side, there is the immeasurably vast Chaos Origin Space, where countless Innate Chaos Origin Life forms exist. The rate at which Ancestors are born among Innate Chaos Origin Life forms is far quicker than the birth of Lords.

Both major factions understood that the other was their greatest rival, and their struggle was the fiercest.

For instance, the current Ice Peak faction is an alliance of twelve Eternal Existences, seemingly formidable. However, they lack continuous reinforcement, and being an alliance, they are not as unified.

In contrast, the two factions currently engaged in the fiercest struggle are far more cohesive.

"This Lord Luo Feng is a newly emerged Lord," the Titan Emperor mused before speaking. "While he is still relatively inexperienced, we must use this opportunity to utterly defeat the Cultivator faction in one decisive strike. If we wait until he becomes more comprehensive and powerful in the future, he will be much more troublesome." "When will you depart?" the Infinite Serpent Ancestor asked.

"The sooner, the better," the Titan Emperor calmly stated.

Once the Ancestors decided to gather, their speed was incredibly swift.

Led by the Titan Emperor, the Chaos Beast Ancestor, and the Black Tide Ancestor, along with over twenty Ancestors willing to follow them, and some Ancestors who had been resting and recuperating in the rear, a total of thirty-five Ancestors assembled.

"I will lead you on your journey!" The multi-clawed beast rapidly transported the thirty-five Ancestors across various spacetimes, heading towards the Cultivator territory.

"I've always said there's no need to push the Cultivators too hard," one Ancestor remarked. "If we push them too far, under sufficient threat, we might just force a new powerful entity to emerge! We should have allowed them more comfort!"

"Exactly," another agreed. "Even if we completely conquer all Cultivator territories, what then? Once those seven Lords lose their territorial concerns, they will go completely insane. Their immense mutual hatred will drive them to relentless retaliation. The Infinite Serpent Ancestor is far too confident!"

"He is doing this for the entire Infinite Clan. The fastest way for the Infinite Clan to grow is to consume Source World origins!"

"Our Titan Clan, however, can simply absorb Chaos Origin power gradually; we have no need to consume Source World origins!"

The Ancestors discussed animatedly, while the Titan Emperor and his two companions remained unperturbed.

While the Titan Emperor certainly had a significant weakness when acting alone, when he teamed up with his companions, the Chaos Beast Ancestor and the Black Tide Ancestor, their combined methods left them without weakness, akin to three Eternal Realm existences joining forces.

This is why the three of them were qualified to form the second-largest faction within the Innate Chaos Origin Life.

"Thirty-five Ancestors have departed, led by the Titan Emperor."

"Truly the Innate Chaos Origin Life faction, mobilizing such terrifying power!"

At the Ancestor level, every lifeform possesses a powerful energy signature. Unless one, like Luo Feng, is adept at concealing all fluctuations, any Ancestor-level being in motion can be clearly detected by others of the same tier.

The terrifying fluctuations from these thirty-five Ancestors moving together could be sensed remotely by various forces across the Infinite Chaos Origin Space. Only the Cultivator faction and the Ice Peak faction could withstand the might of such a collective.

All parties watched with bated breath.

Though numerous forces existed within the Infinite Chaos Origin Space, none had the confidence to withstand the combined might of thirty-five Ancestors.

"The eight Lords of the Cultivator faction are indeed terrifying, capable of suppressing 73 Ancestors and forcing the Innate Chaos Origin Life faction to deploy almost their entire strength," various forces commented. "With over a hundred Ancestors combined, even though each of the Cultivator faction's eight Lords is powerful, it's likely they won't be able to withstand it." All factions closely watched this terrifying confrontation.

Within the Cultivator territory, the colossal spherical Initial Ancestor hovered in space. Many Ancestors were temporarily concealed within its body, recuperating and patiently awaiting reinforcements.

The eight Lords formed a battle formation that completely enveloped the area.

"Thirty-five Ancestors have set out!" Yuan observed from afar.

Luo Feng and the others all gazed into the distance.

Their senses allowed them to clearly perceive the thirty-five Ancestors in the distance.

"The Titan Emperor and his two companions have also made their move!" Yuan's expression turned solemn.

"Their combined power is no less than that of three Eternal Realm experts!" Lord Starlight frowned.

"With over a hundred Ancestors joining forces, especially with the Nine Emperors united, their overall strength will surpass ours!"

"I will inform you all of the potential battle outcomes across countless future timelines!" Luo Feng, Wulan, Jin, Moman, Naigu, and Baohuang all felt the pressure. The Cultivator side's coordination was vastly superior, with Starlight observing countless future timelines, his spacetime domain integrating the entire battle formation, and Yuan's formations perfectly coordinating each Lord's power. In comparison, the Ancestor side's coordination was far too crude.

However, the sheer number of their opponents was overwhelming. With over a hundred Ancestors gathered, particularly with the Nine Emperors at the core, their combined strength remained incredibly formidable.

"If we win this battle, things will be much easier in the future!" Starlight whispered.

"We must win!" Jin also stared intently into the distance.

Luo Feng clearly understood that, based on the numerous cooperation strategies studied by the Lords, he was the most crucial factor for victory in this battle. After all, he was a recent breakthrough, and the outside world knew the least about him.
