Chapter 397: The Highest Level Power 'Blood Force'

Science Fiction

The Council Chamber of the Origin Land!

Beside the Dark Crystal Round Table, the eight lords — Yuan, Jin, Wulan, Minghuang, Naigu, Xingmang, Moman, and Luo Feng — had already taken their seats.

“Has everyone encountered any trouble reclaiming territory?” Yuan asked.

“No!” Wulan shook his head.

“Just sent a message, and they retreated on their own!” Jin grinned.

Xingmang frowned and said, “I am currently hunting Mo Gusi. During our conflict with the Innate Chaos Origin Faction, Mo Gusi consumed the souls of living beings from over six million source worlds. This was even while he was conserving food. He begged for mercy, but I ignored him and have been pursuing him relentlessly. So far, I have eliminated 89% of his power!”

“Mo Gusi!” Yuan’s eyes showed a hint of hatred.

“I really wish we could destroy him completely!” Jin said, feeling quite frustrated.

Luo Feng’s expression was also grim. Among the more than two hundred Ancestral Innate Chaos Origin Beings in the boundless Chaos Origin Space, Mo Gusi was a top-tier existence. He was an immortal and indestructible being, proficient in soul power. In terms of threat and destructiveness, he surpassed most of the cultivator lords!

Before Xingmang’s emergence, no one could harm him in the slightest; he truly acted with impunity!

He did not partake in other conflicts and required no other resources, only one: immense quantities of souls. He was naturally skilled in soul power, which originated from himself. He could lie dormant within countless beings throughout the boundless Chaos Origin Space, making him impossible to fully kill or eliminate.

The Innate Chaos Origin Faction couldn’t deal with Mo Gusi; instead, they sought to win him over, proactively offering a certain amount of Innate Chaos Origin Beings for him to consume!

Currently, regarding the number of beings in the boundless Chaos Origin Space, there are many Innate Chaos Origin Beings, but even more cultivators within the source worlds!

The cultivators within the Cage were exceptionally intelligent, and their souls had a wonderful flavor, making them one of Mo Gusi’s favorite delicacies. However, the cultivator faction strictly prohibited Mo Gusi from devouring countless cultivator souls!

If he dared to act, cultivators would pursue him at all costs.

Those source worlds within the cultivator territories that had long been preyed upon by some Ancestors, having their origins consumed, were already tattered and allowed few beings to exist. In contrast, the sixteen hundred world clusters within the cultivator territory contained an immense number of cultivator beings, and Mo Gusi had long coveted them!

When the two major factions went to war this time, Xingmang’s main battle avatar had to confront the Innate Chaos Origin Faction, allowing Mo Gusi to immediately infiltrate and joyfully devour one source world after another!

As soon as the war ended, Lord Xingmang immediately began his pursuit, launching comprehensive attacks across all time and space, striking any place where Mo Gusi’s power might be hidden!

“His power can merge with countless weak beings!” Yuan shook his head. “Only Xingmang, with his ability to observe the past and future, can find all traces of his hidden presence.”

“This time, I must at least eliminate 99% of his power, forcing him into a prolonged recovery period so he never dares to enter our cultivator territory again,” Lord Xingmang said coldly.

He only dared to claim he could eliminate 99% because, as an immortal and indestructible being, the more his power was reduced, the harder it became to eradicate even a tiny remaining shred! Only if all beings in all source worlds and all higher world-level Chaos Origin Lifeforms were annihilated could Mo Gusi be deprived of his hosts, offering a chance to truly destroy him.

“His body is composed of soul power!” Yuan said. “Once 99% is destroyed, his recovery will be extremely slow!”

“Before Xingmang became a lord, we had no way to deal with Mo Gusi!” Wulan sighed. “It was truly terrible back then; for a period, the cultivator faction was even forced to negotiate with Mo Gusi!”

Only after Xingmang became a lord did they have the confidence to pursue him!

“He’s immortal and indestructible. There’s no other way but to inflict enough pain on him to deter him from ever returning to the cultivator territory!” Yuan stated.

“Have any other lords encountered trouble in the early stages?”

“I’ve also encountered some trouble!” Lord Moman said. “The Lotus Prison Mountain Master has completely taken root, and I can’t do anything to him!”

“The Lotus Prison Mountain Master”—everyone present slightly frowned.

Anyone familiar with history would know!

In its early days, the cultivator faction was quite weak. It gradually expanded its territory later. A portion of today’s three thousand six hundred world clusters is known as the ‘Lotus Prison Cluster,’ the place where the Lotus Prison Mountain Master had been rooted for eons. He completely dominated that world cluster, and he and his kin freely consumed the origins of countless source worlds! Later, the cultivator faction expelled them from the 3600 world clusters and even established a space-time network, deterring any Ancestors from invading!

“Taking advantage of the war between the two factions, the Lotus Prison Mountain Master has returned!” Lord Moman shook his head. “Although I can suppress him, I cannot defeat him.”

“I’ll go with you!” Yuan offered.

“With Elder Brother Yuan’s help, it will be enough to make him flee in disarray!” Moman nodded.

The Lotus Prison Mountain Master was comparable to the ‘Endless Ancestor’ and ‘Nirvana Ancestor’ in power, though not truly immortal and indestructible.

To kill him, the seven cultivator lords had long tried but failed!

When other lords, excluding Yuan, besieged the Lotus Prison Mountain Master, he could root himself there and withstand all attacks!

Only Yuan’s array formations could significantly restrain the Lotus Prison Mountain Master, preventing him from drawing too much power from the Chaos Origin Space!

Facing Yuan, the Lotus Prison Mountain Master had no choice but to flee!

“Brother Luo Feng, your true body has been in the Blood Crane Territory?” Jin asked.

“How dare this weak Blood Crane Territory faction entangle itself with our cultivator faction?” Luo Feng wondered. Among the more than two hundred Ancestral-level beings in the boundless Chaos Origin Space, strengths vary. Being able to secure a seat in the Eternal Land only signifies their immortality, not necessarily their absolute strength! Only about thirty are truly powerful, especially those who disdain joining the Innate Chaos Origin Faction and dare to face numerous dangers alone, showing they have ample confidence. In terms of power, Mo Gusi barely ranks in the top ten among the beings in the boundless Chaos Origin Space, and the Lotus Prison Mountain Master is also at a level to make it into the top thirty! The three from the Blood Crane Territory are far inferior by comparison!

“Don’t underestimate the Blood Crane Territory. The Blood Lord, Crane Lord, and Shadow Lord of the Blood Crane Territory possess exceptionally strong life-saving abilities. The three of them combined are quite troublesome!” Yuan said with a smile. “Once they encounter trouble, they retreat to the mysterious Blood Crane Territory, and with the advantage of their terrain, they become even harder to deal with than the Lotus Prison Mountain Master!”

Only when the three Blood Crane Territory lords unite and remain within their mysterious territory can they claim to be more difficult to handle than the Lotus Prison Mountain Master! Without their territory, the three lords of the mysterious Blood Crane Territory become significantly weaker.

“Brother Luo Feng, do you need any help?” Minghuang asked.

“No need!” Luo Feng smiled. “This Blood Crane Territory has a connection with me; I have a certain degree of confidence that I can refine this mysterious land!”

The seven lords all stared at Luo Feng! “Luo Feng, how long do you estimate it will take to refine it?” Yuan asked.

“Perhaps a few epochs,” Luo Feng replied.

“So fast!”

The seven lords were all somewhat surprised, recalling that Luo Feng, with his ability to ‘break myriad laws with one force,’ had managed to comprehend the Path of Chaos Origin Life and Death in such a short time while still in the Cage! Now that he was a lord, refining a mysterious land in a few epochs, they could understand it.

In a blink of an eye, three epochs had passed. Yuan and Lord Moman, working together, had once again driven away the formidable Lotus Prison Mountain Master. For the Lotus Prison Mountain Master, the ‘Lotus Prison Cluster’ of the past was his true home, and the countless surrounding source worlds were the food for his kin. However, the cultivator faction was too domineering to tolerate his presence there.

Lord Xingmang was still pursuing Mo Gusi across all time and space.

Deep beneath the Blood Crane Territory, Luo Feng sat cross-legged in the center of an endless sea of blood. The Blood Lord, Crane Lord, and Shadow Lord often came to observe, but they could not prevent Luo Feng from comprehending the ‘Blood Crane Territory’s origin!’

“This is the highest-level power: ‘Blood Force.’”

Luo Feng had grasped seventy to eighty percent of it almost immediately upon contemplation. However, to completely master this supreme level of life force, even with Luo Feng’s insight and comprehension, it still took him three full epochs! “The difference between Blood Force and the Path of Chaos Origin Life and Death is indeed quite significant.” Luo Feng now fully understood just how stark the contrast could be between one supreme power and another supreme path.

With Blood Force, one could form a physical body, alter combat, create a domain, and restore allies’ strength, among other methods!

The body formed by Blood Force resembled Luo Feng’s ‘Blood Sea,’ but the Blood Sea’s energy reserve was not large, only about 60% of Luo Feng’s own. Only by comprehending the Path of Chaos Origin Life and creating the most suitable life form based on it could one possess the most immense life form in the boundless Chaos Origin Space!

The energy reserve of this single Blood Force was less than Luo Feng’s own.

Its energy reserve was 60% of Luo Feng’s, its movement speed was much slower than his, its life spirituality was 80% of Luo Feng’s power, its recovery ability was 90% of his, and its combat capability was only 30% of Luo Feng’s.

It should be noted that Luo Feng’s combat capability, apart from his ‘Great Annihilation’ technique, was only considered average among the lords!

With its combat capability being only 30% of Luo Feng’s, Blood Force was quite mediocre even among Ancestors. This kind of Blood Force would only make Luo Feng weaker!

This was also why cultivator lords did not cultivate supreme powers of the same category: simply mastering a specific power within the same category held little meaning for them. Lords also couldn’t comprehend other types of supreme powers, as those were not their specialized directions. Having comprehended Blood Force, the next step was to refine the Blood Crane Territory’s origin!

Luo Feng was quite looking forward to it; this was the only direct help Blood Force offered him!
