Chapter 392: The Mysterious Place 'Blood Crane Territory'

Blood Crane Territory lies at an immense distance from the Cultivator Domain. It took well over a hundred days to finally reach this mysterious place.

He had finally arrived. Guided by his senses for Shadow and Lord, and referring to the 'spacetime route map' recorded by Star-Mound, Luo Feng reached his destination with relative ease.

Within the Infinite Chaotic Source Space, most mysterious lands are difficult to locate. Their renown varies, as does the power they contain. The most famous among them is, naturally, the Eternal Land.

The Eternal Land had already extended an invitation to Luo Feng, granting him a place there. However, since the Cultivator Domain had not yet been fully conquered and his celebration as a Lord had not even taken place, Luo Feng was in no rush to depart for the Eternal Land.

"Blood Crane Territory is a relatively lesser-known mysterious land, having only given birth to three Ancestor-level beings," Luo Feng mused as he surveyed the territory. Before him stretched a vast, boundless sea of blood, within which various hidden beings subtly observed him.

Luo Feng felt a strange sense of familiarity upon seeing this endless blood sea. During his time in the Primal Universe, he possessed the 'You Hai clone,' which was adept at transforming into a sea of blood. Even after arriving on the Origin Continent, this transformation remained one of Luo Feng's frequently used techniques, making him feel particularly connected to the blood sea before him.

Since becoming a Lord, he no longer needed to transform into a sea of blood. Luo Feng mused that in his weaker stages, he couldn't perfectly control his power, which was why he transformed into a sea of blood, even evolving it into a grand blood sea formation. With perfect control, both his physical and blood sea forms were equally mastered, offering no further increase in strength.

The 'endless blood sea' before him was far more potent than Luo Feng's own physical form. With a mere perception, he felt as if this boundless blood sea was alive, slowly swirling with an intensely menacing aura.

From the depths of the endless blood sea, a voice echoed: "Since you've arrived at Blood Crane Territory, why do you hesitate to enter? Are you afraid?"

"Afraid?" Luo Feng chuckled lightly. With his mastery of the Chaotic Source Life-Death Dao, he instantly sensed every being hidden within the Blood Crane Territory before him: three Ancestor-level beings, over 500 World-level Chaotic Source beings, and more than 30 billion High-level Chaotic Source life forms.

At that moment, the three Ancestor-level beings and over 500 World-level Chaotic Source beings could all perceive the outside world, their gazes fixed on Lord Luo Feng, who had arrived alone. "Can your three weak Ancestors of Blood Crane Territory truly make me afraid?" Luo Feng scoffed.

"If you're not afraid, then come in," another irritated voice resounded. "We three weak Ancestors shall see just how powerful you, the Cultivator Lord, truly are," a second hoarse voice added.

Although the other Lords of Blood Crane Territory rarely ventured out, they would naturally not tolerate an attack on their home base.

Luo Feng smiled. With a boom, his body soared directly into the boundless blood sea. The moment he entered, Luo Feng perceived the unique nature of the 'Blood Crane Territory Blood Sea'; it was a flawless fusion of three distinct supreme powers.

Luo Feng immediately realized that this perfectly corresponded to the three major lineage factions of the Blood Crane Territory race. The myriad beings spawned within Blood Crane Territory primarily specialized in 'Life,' 'Immortality,' and 'Shadow.' The most powerful Lords representing these three aspects were the Blood Lord, Crane Lord, and Shadow Lord.

The 'blood sea' forged from the perfect amalgamation of these three supreme powers was far superior to Luo Feng's own. It embodied the three characteristics of life, immortality, and shadow, rendering it more resilient and omnipresent. Luo Feng discerned the vast difference: Blood Crane Territory's integration of three supreme powers meant its survival capability utterly transcended ordinary levels. If one could master these three powers, their ability to preserve themselves might even exceed 'Initial Prime,' whose defense was extreme but who could still be trapped.

Furthermore, the 'shadow' characteristic within Blood Crane Territory was omnipresent. While mastering even one supreme power already signified an Ancestor-level being, Luo Feng had never heard of an Ancestor capable of wielding three. Even among the Cultivator Lords, only Star-Mound had mastered two supreme Daos.

With Star-Mound's mastery of two Daos, his life-saving ability ranked among the absolute strongest in the Infinite Chaotic Source Space; it was impossible to trap him, either in the past or the future.

These mysterious lands, 'Source Worlds' nurtured by the Infinite Chaotic Source Space, are founded upon the convergence of multiple Great Daos. The 'mysterious lands' they give rise to embody several supreme powers and possess various extraordinary properties. For instance, the 'Infinite World' can project any location within the Infinite Chaotic Source Space, while the 'Abyss of Destruction' can generate powerful destructive weaponry.

Possessing both an origin and a core source, Luo Feng, whose mastery of life was exceptionally profound, sensed the power of the boundless blood sea and vaguely perceived its true source.

He decided to deal with Shadow Lord first. Luo Feng flew deeper into the boundless blood sea, continuously analyzing the various characteristics of the 'Blood Crane Territory Endless Blood Sea' and probing its underlying mysteries, while simultaneously flying at full speed towards Shadow Lord.

The Blood Crane Territory's environment had little effect on Luo Feng's strength. Shadow Lord, Blood Lord, and Crane Lord all noticed this; while the boundless blood sea typically exerted immense pressure on outsiders, it naturally parted for Luo Feng, offering minimal resistance. This was due to his proficiency in life-based techniques, which allowed him to influence the blood sea's power to some extent. The Blood Lord remarked, "I told you then that there was no need to provoke the Cultivator faction. We should avoid the three most powerful factions in the Infinite Chaotic Source Space, yet Xingying, you insisted on your own path."

Crane Lord, somewhat displeased, retorted, "Didn't you make use of the resources I plundered?"

Shadow Lord countered, "I supported you in plundering other weaker forces, but I did not support you in provoking the Cultivator faction."

"Enough," the Blood Lord interjected. "Lord Luo Feng is coming for us—let's unite and face him!"

"I'll handle Luo Feng; I refuse to believe he can do anything to me in the Blood Crane Territory's environment," Shadow Lord declared, immediately charging forward. The Blood Lord and Crane Lord, however, were in no rush to intervene. After all, any Ancestor-level being unleashing their true form would wield terrifying power. With their 'life core' intact, they had a massive energy supply to unleash numerous techniques, boosting their strength manifold. Without a life core, they could only utilize at most 30% of their power, a vast difference. Thus, in wars between the three major factions, Ancestors either abstained or participated only with their true bodies containing the life core; lacking a 'life core' would only hinder them in such high-level combat.

As Luo Feng traversed the expansive blood sea, the beings native to Blood Crane Territory scattered, not daring to approach him. Luo Feng, in turn, paid no mind to these weaker World-level and High-level Chaotic Source beings.

"It's a Cultivator Lord!" exclaimed some. "I heard that Cultivator Lords are the most terrifying beings in the Infinite Chaotic Source Space!" Even the Born Chaotic Source faction had failed to overcome the eight Cultivator Lords in their struggles. These World-level Chaotic Source beings possessed some knowledge; many of their 'clones' had previously plundered within the Cultivator Domain, keeping them abreast of the latest information. They dared not provoke this Lord in the slightest, fearing that even a mere glance from him would annihilate them.

Luo Feng maintained a super-high speed. "Hmm? Coming proactively," he mused, sensing a massive aura rapidly approaching. This presence was vastly more powerful than the Shadow Lord's clone he had encountered earlier in the Cultivator Domain. A colossal shadowy figure, the Shadow Lord's true body, materialized before him, a twisted behemoth coalesced from countless shadows. A pair of blood-red eyes intently observed Luo Feng.

"Luo Feng," the Shadow Lord's true body growled, his vast aura stirring up endless waves of blood. Being born from Blood Crane Territory and having mastered 'Shadow,' one of the supreme powers, he could significantly manipulate the blood sea's energy.

"Outside, even my true form would be considerably weaker than you!" the Shadow Lord's booming voice echoed throughout the territory. "But here in Blood Crane Territory, my birthplace, you cannot defeat me!"

Luo Feng met his gaze. "Just you? Why don't all three of your Blood Crane Territory Lords come at me together!"

"Arrogant!" Shadow Lord roared in fury. His colossal shadowy form instantly merged with the surrounding blood sea, which then surged forward, directly crushing and overwhelming.

Luo Feng stood his ground. A life-death domain surrounded him, deflecting the blood sea. Though the blood sea powerfully surged through his domain, it collided with Luo Feng's protective energy layer, which was sustained by billions of sources.

"How is this possible?" the Shadow Lord exclaimed. He held the advantage of the terrain, channeling the immense power of the blood sea for a direct assault. In this environment, his might had at least doubled, yet he could not breach Luo Feng's protective energy layer. During the previous clash of the three major factions, Luo Feng had appeared heavily injured while resisting attacks from dozens of Ancestors, but in reality, most of the power had been blocked by this same protective layer. External observers, watching from afar beyond endless spacetime, only perceived that Shadow's power was somewhat troublesome.

Luo Feng's body held the most abundant and potent energy, especially his core 1.08 billion primal sources, making him virtually impervious.

"Kill!" the Shadow Lord roared. Omnipresent attacks, striking from within and without, sought to shatter Luo Feng's body. The Shadow Lord utilized the terrain to channel immense energy, tearing spacetime itself apart. It was as if the Shadow Lord's very form had merged with the surrounding spacetime, making spacetime itself a part of his body as it ripped open, tearing at Luo Feng's form.

Yet, Luo Feng remained utterly flawless. Any minor injuries inflicted on him vanished in an instant. Shadow's power was omnipresent, existing both externally and internally, with terrifying force attempting to strangle Luo Feng from within. However, every part of Luo Feng's body was flawlessly formidable; any attacks launched by the Shadow Lord from within, or any minor damage inflicted, completely disappeared in an instant.

"The power of Shadow is indeed tricky," Luo Feng murmured. He extended his hand, and a blade appeared within it.
