Chapter 396: Blood Crane Obtains the Origin

Science Fiction

A vast blood-red sea stretched around Luo Feng as he looked ahead.

Although he could clearly sense the 'Blood Crane Domain's Origin' directly in front of him, no method of observation allowed him to actually perceive it.

"Is it real, yet also illusory?"

Following the subtle ripples of its profound essence, Luo Feng delved deeper into its intricate changes, gradually discerning a faint outline of the 'Blood Crane Domain's Origin.'

This origin point was paradoxically tiny, smaller than any matter, yet vast enough to encompass the entire Blood Crane Domain.

This was the Blood Crane Domain's Origin!

As he continued to probe its intricate transformations, the complete, profound structure of the Blood Crane Domain's Origin gradually unfolded in Luo Feng's mind. It was an arcane construct far grander than any Origin World.

"He must be probing the Blood Crane Domain's Origin!"

The Blood Lord, Crane Lord, and Shadow Lord, observing from a distance, saw this scene.

Though they watched, unable to discern much, they had an unshakeable feeling that the cultivator lord, Luo Feng, had already deeply probed the Blood Crane Domain's Origin.

"He has a deeper grasp of life-aligned powers than I do; he can certainly probe the Blood Crane Domain's Origin!" The Blood Lord's frustration was evident.

"Are we just going to let him probe? Let him try to refine it?"

The Shadow Lord couldn't help but exclaim.

"Stop him?" The Crane Lord shot him a glance.

"This is all because you provoked the cultivator faction! I told you long ago not to provoke the three major factions, but you insisted, and now look at the trouble you've caused."

The Shadow Lord, too, felt aggrieved.

Though he was weak in direct combat and couldn't defeat any lord from the cultivator faction, he could manifest in countless forms and be ubiquitous, believing that no lord could kill him. Furthermore, with the Blood Crane Domain as his mysterious home world, he naturally felt confident. Who would have thought that Luo Feng would actually begin to probe and attempt to refine the Blood Crane Domain's Origin?

"Let's try to act!" The Blood Lord, watching anxiously from the side, couldn't help but urge. "Exhaust every method to see if we can stop him!"

"Let's just try." Though the Crane and Shadow Lords lacked confidence, they truly did not want to see the Blood Crane Domain's Origin refined by Luo Feng.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged in the blood-red sea at the core of the Blood Crane Domain, meticulously probing its Origin.

The three lords of the Blood Crane Domain could only watch helplessly.

"He only excels in one type of life power, but the Blood Crane Domain's Origin contains three highest-level powers. One cannot refine it by merely comprehending a single highest-level power. This is a path at the Chaotic Origin level, no less formidable than your own, brother." The Crane Lord stated.

"Even if he's more powerful than me, merely mastering one power isn't enough to refine it," the Blood Lord said. "Right, right, don't worry. We three haven't been able to refine it after countless ages, so how could this Lord Luo Feng possibly refine it? Besides, the cultivator faction has many affairs; his primary combat avatar can't stay here forever." The Shadow Lord immediately added.

Both the Blood Lord and Crane Lord glanced at the Shadow Lord; occupying the cultivator domain had been the Shadow Lord's sole decision. "Luo Feng..." The Shadow Lord now felt a pang of regret.

The blood-red sea surged once more. The Blood Lord, Crane Lord, and Shadow Lord all merged into it, channeling the boundless power of the blood sea. They unleashed their three highest-level powers in concert, assaulting Luo Feng.

They tried every possible means. However, the highest-level powers they wielded—one life-based, one of indestructibility, and one of shadow—were all exceptionally strong in self-preservation but relatively weak in offense.

Luo Feng remained seated cross-legged, his protective energy shield enveloping him and repelling all incoming attacks.

Since he didn't need to travel now, enduring the attacks was still quite easy for him.

Even with the combined might of the three Blood Crane Domain lords and the power of the blood sea, they couldn't breach Luo Feng's protective energy shield.

The Crane Lord could occasionally manage to slightly penetrate the energy shield, inflicting only minor superficial wounds.

Luo Feng allowed them to attack, occasionally releasing three hundred and sixty million origin points to give them a taste of being hit.

After only a brief period of encirclement, the three Blood Crane Domain lords ceased their assault.

"It's useless..." "He's from the innate Chaotic Origin faction; ten Ancestors combined couldn't destroy Luo Feng. How can we possibly harm him?" The Crane Lord said, unwilling to give up, as he gazed at the black-robed, black-haired Luo Feng sitting cross-legged.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged in the boundless blood sea. Because the three Blood Crane Domain lords had needlessly intruded deep into the Blood Crane lineage's lair, he used a wisp of his thought to probe the full extent of the Blood Crane Domain's Origin.

Luo Feng spent half a day, finally discerning the complete nature of the Blood Crane Domain's Origin. This Origin perfectly integrated the profound essences of three powers: life force, indestructibility, and shadow power.

He attempted to treat the three as a complete origin. Before he was about to leave the cage, his deep study of the "Heart Secret"—one of the core elements of the Chaotic Origin Life-Death Dao—helped him comprehend these three life-aligned powers. Luo Feng was also able to distinguish between them, and within half an hour, he had fully grasped the origin formed by the combination of these three powers.

For Luo Feng to refine the Blood Crane Domain's Origin, he would need to at least perfectly master one of its highest-level powers, and then, using two of the most supreme, highest-level powers to gradually and completely refine the Origin. Alternatively, comprehending two of its high-level divine outburst powers would also allow for easy refinement.

He determined the refinement method. For him, the first path was more suitable because he had already mastered the related Dao and understood how the three combined to form the Origin. What he needed now was to fully master this particular life power. Although Luo Feng had comprehended this power, he hadn't fully mastered it. His 'Chaotic Origin Life-Death Dao' was a fusion of seventy percent life and thirty percent destruction, not a pure path of life.

For Luo Feng, mastering this specific life power was not difficult!

Before transcending the cage, Luo Feng's comprehension, thought processing speed, and insight were all much weaker than they were now, yet he could still forcefully comprehend the Chaotic Origin Life-Death Dao. Now, as a lord who embodies blood and cultivates, and having the deepest accumulation in the direction of life, he didn't need to comprehend a complete Chaotic Origin Life Dao, but merely a single life power!

One should know that as soon as Luo Feng arrived at the Blood Crane Domain and merely sensed this life power, he had already probed seventy to eighty percent of it. Pure life doesn't seek perfect control over every single bit of power, but rather the ultimate flourishing of life, the more the better. It doesn't even take on a physical form, but transforms into a vast blood-red sea, incredibly immense in size! Luo Feng understood this path!

If he were to create a Chaotic Origin-level Dao on this path, and use this Dao to construct his physical body, his body could transform into a massive blood-red sea. His adult form would likely surpass even gigantic Divine Emperors, naturally far exceeding Wu Lan, making him arguably the most colossal life form in the boundless Chaotic Origin Space. He could let enemies attack as they pleased; the blood-red sea would absorb much of the force. His vast energy reserves would be even higher than Luo Feng's current reserves, and his energy recovery would be terrifyingly fast. Even a hundred Ancestors acting together wouldn't be able to threaten him. This was the formidable power of a pure Chaotic Origin Life Dao Lord!

However, the drawbacks were that his body would be too immense, his movement very slow, and he wouldn't be able to mobilize all his power; for offense, he could only utilize a portion of the blood sea!

"My Chaotic Origin Life-Death Dao seeks absolute control over every single bit of power, allowing me to mobilize all my strength against an enemy with a single thought!" Luo Feng mused.

Based on absolute control, his current energy reserves were already at their limit; any more, and he would begin to lose control!

"I don't need to comprehend a pure Chaotic Origin Life Dao; simply comprehending this specific life power doesn't feel difficult!" Luo Feng, quite interested, began to analyze and study.

In an ancient dwelling within Huyang City, in the Origin World of the Origin Continent! "Hm?"

A tall, burly man blinked blankly, looking around. This was the ancestral dwelling from his youth. Hadn't he died?

"Didn't I die? Died at Sang Shuiyun's hands!" Entropy Tianyan murmured.

Back then, he had sacrificed his life to confirm Sang Shuiyun's true identity as the Blood Cloud Divine Lord, and he had also left a Karma Tracing Order with the Nine-Nurturing Marquis and others to ensure that the Blood Cloud Divine Lord could be tracked.

"How am I still alive? This isn't reincarnation; even among the Chaos Realm Marquises, only a very few can reincarnate and still retain their memories!" Entropy Tianyan was slightly bewildered.

"Brother Entropy!" A voice rang out. Entropy Tianyan looked beside him to see a black-robed, black-haired man appear. However, he had a pair of golden pointed horns on his forehead, and his appearance was slightly altered—it was exactly how Luo Feng looked when he first arrived in the Origin Continent after passing through the Samsara Passage!

"Brother Luo He!" Entropy Tianyan recognized him instantly, though Brother Luo He's appearance differed significantly from his memory. His intangible aura even surpassed the profound operations of the heavens and earth. As a grandmaster artificer, Entropy Tianyan perceived his friend Luo He's aura as being more profound and distant than the heavens and earth themselves!

"Brother Luo He, what's going on? I remember dying," Entropy Tianyan said, looking at Luo Feng.

"You did indeed die, over ten thousand epochs ago!" Luo Feng said with a smile. "It was I who fished you out from that past timeline in the River of Time and Space, bringing you to the present to extend your life!"

Entropy Tianyan was stunned! The River of Time and Space? Fished out from a past timeline?

"I know you cared most about the 125 lives that had passed away! I have revived them all, one by one!" Luo Feng said, smiling as he pointed to a garden within the dwelling. On an open space in the garden, over a hundred figures appeared out of thin air, all a bit dazed, looking around in confusion.

Entropy Tianyan stared in disbelief at the 125 figures. There was his wife, his young children, his long-deceased parents, his elder brother who had cared for him, comrades who had shared life and death with him, fellow Daoists who had researched artifact forging alongside him, and his most beloved and regrettable disciples... All those whom he had regretted losing throughout his long life had come back to life, one by one!

He had once felt that though the world was vast, he walked alone through it.

Now, intense emotions surged through his heart and mind; he even felt a little fearful, wondering if it was all an illusion.

Entropy Tianyan was deeply worried, fearing that what he saw was a grand illusion. He had once been infatuated with the Dream Flower Pavilion Lord, who had deceived him with illusions!

"Tianyan!" A woman in the distance saw Entropy Tianyan and called out excitedly.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Entropy Tianyan's eyes immediately welled up.

"Go," Luo Feng said with a faint smile. "Reunite properly with your loved ones."

As he spoke, Luo Feng's figure vanished without a trace.

At this moment, Entropy Tianyan realized that Luo He, his friend whom he had met in Huyang City, must have become a truly great existence, beyond his wildest imagination.

Luo Feng, concealing his presence, did not disturb them further, observing the smiles on Entropy Tianyan and his loved ones' faces as they excitedly reunited. The meaning of resurrection lay right before his eyes!

"Brother Entropy, my only true friend during my Eternal True God phase, enjoy these days. There will be many more things I'll need your help with in the future!"

Luo Feng watched from afar, deeply appreciating Entropy Tianyan's character and conduct. Entropy Tianyan pitied the weak and even sacrificed his life for all beings. Because of this quality, Luo Feng decided to give him a position in the future management of the Origin Continent faction. The core of the Origin Continent faction consisted of Morosa, Sitting Mountain Guest, and his master Di Chu, along with numerous other administrators such as Di Qing, Di Chu Yu, Yu Qingyan, and Entropy Tianyan himself!
