Chapter 76: Leisurely Years

Luo Feng looked at the silver light hovering in the distance, which was currently stirring, watching him intently.

"This Chaos Layer creature has extremely low intelligence and its moves aren't as intricate as Blood Cloud's, but its raw power is even greater!" Luo Feng was delighted, seeing a worthy challenge. He had already overpowered Blood Cloud before, and now, having comprehended a Chaos Realm technique, his strength had increased further.

"Whoosh!"

The silver light suddenly flashed, leaving a faint arc. It instantly elongated more than tenfold, resembling a silvery thread that unpredictably swept past Luo Feng like a phantom.

"Hm!" Luo Feng saw the thread sweep past him and reached out to grab it again.

Luo Feng's grab seemed ordinary, yet the unpredictable silvery thread, elusive as a ghost, couldn't escape and was once again caught by him.

The moment he grabbed it, Luo Feng felt the silvery thread in his palm was incredibly smooth and sleek.

It was incredibly sharp and smooth, slipping out of his palm with a "whoosh" and leaving behind a deep wound on Luo Feng's skin.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Several silver lights flashed around Luo Feng, repeatedly transforming into silvery threads, silver light, or silver cones, all incredibly fast. Luo Feng found it difficult to grasp them, and they left numerous bleeding wounds.

"Interesting!" Luo Feng chuckled, looking at it. "I won't be able to capture it without using some real techniques!"

The silver light was about to attack Luo Feng again.

This time, Luo Feng also reached out, but his five fingers, like five celestial pillars, instantly enveloped the silver light.

The silver light was like a trapped prisoner, with no gaps to escape through.

This was precisely one of Luo Feng's spontaneous techniques derived from his domain, 'Five Directions Sealing Heaven'.

Luo Feng had comprehended the origin of life and destruction, and while meditating in the Chaos Layer, besides the Chaos Realm technique, he had also gained insights into several spontaneous techniques. In terms of power, these even surpassed the first six moves of the 'World-Breaking Blade'.

This technique, 'Five Directions Sealing Heaven', drew inspiration from 'Five Directions Rending Heaven' but incorporated some blade concepts and Luo Feng's understanding of the original Chaos laws. If 'Five Directions Rending Heaven Blade' aimed to rend and tear apart the heavens and earth, 'Five Directions Sealing Heaven' was its opposite: it used the concept of the five directions to seal the heavens and earth, specifically to trap enemies.

Previously, he couldn't casually grab the silvery blade light, but now, by employing 'Five Directions Sealing Heaven', he completely trapped the silver light. With a casual grasp of his five fingers, the silver light was naturally entwined.

The slender silver light struggled desperately to escape, but it was entwined between Luo Feng's five fingers and couldn't break free.

"I want to see what kind of biological structure this little guy has to possess such power despite its small size!" Luo Feng instantly activated the 'Annihilation' technique, burning his divine power to the limit.

"Rend!"

Luo Feng's power erupted. His five fingers suddenly exerted force, far exceeding their usual strength, intending to tear open the silver light creature's body.

"Huh!" Luo Feng was utterly astonished by his own force; he found the silver light creature incredibly tough and resilient, simply impossible to tear apart.

"Even with my divine power burned to the limit, I can't tear its body apart?" Luo Feng was surprised. "Fortunately, I've also comprehended a Chaos Realm technique; otherwise, I wouldn't have any way to deal with it!"

This Chaos Layer creature only possessed instinct, lacking even consciousness, which rendered Luo Feng's will-based secret techniques useless.

Luo Feng held the silver light creature with one hand, while his other hand's index finger, burning with divine power, executed the Chaos Realm technique 'Heart Refining'—a technique only Luo Feng had mastered. His finger gently sliced through the silver light creature's body, like dissecting void, with the precision of a scalpel.

The silver light body instantly broke into two. As Luo Feng's finger sliced through it, he could feel the toughness of the silver body.

After being severed, the silver light body's toughness immediately dropped significantly, and its luster dulled considerably.

Luo Feng, holding half of the silver light body in each hand, exerted a slight force.

These two sections of the silver light body completely shattered, disintegrating into countless silvery droplets.

"One hundred and nine silvery droplets?" Luo Feng carefully observed the droplets before him. Each one attempted to merge back together, but after being split into their most basic form, their power became very weak.

Luo Feng's divine power enveloped them, preventing them from merging.

These silvery droplets!

Luo Feng observed them meticulously. In his eyes, the silvery droplets magnified billions of times appeared like colossal stars. Even magnified, they remained perfectly spherical with incredibly smooth surfaces. Traces of Chaos laws were faintly visible on their surfaces and permeated deep within the droplets.

Luo Feng's finger sliced through one of the silvery droplets, and it immediately disintegrated into silvery mist and the substantial manifestation of Chaos laws.

Luo Feng watched carefully. As the silvery mist dissipated, the materialized Chaos laws also dispersed, and the tiny silver droplet was completely annihilated.

"No wonder it was so slippery!" Luo Feng saw that each silvery droplet in his hand contained complete Chaos laws and also possessed characteristics of "Chaos Water."

"I've encountered and studied the bodies of Chaos Layer creatures before. Those previous ones only contained limited portions of Chaos laws! But this silver light creature actually possesses complete Chaos laws!" Luo Feng realized.

There was clearly a huge difference in power between containing partial Chaos laws and containing complete Chaos laws.

"Collect!" With a thought, Luo Feng stored the remaining 108 silvery droplets inside the Star Tower.

Within one of the Star Tower's spatial layers, these 108 silvery droplets appeared out of thin air, naturally separated by the space.

Luo Feng first brought two of the silvery droplets together, and they naturally merged.

Droplet by droplet, they merged. When 10 droplets had fused, they could form a silvery thread, already possessing considerable power.

When 100 droplets had merged, they formed a shimmering silver light. Even if all droplets were fused, the silver light creature's power didn't seem to increase significantly.

"The more silvery droplets, the stronger its power, but it clearly needs to reach a certain quantity for a qualitative change!" Luo Feng mused. "This is only a hundred droplets. If it were ten thousand or a million droplets, it might truly be considered a Chaos Realm entity!"

Luo Feng carefully observed the silver light being kept in the Star Tower.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" The silver light eagerly moved within that layer of the Star Tower's space, but it couldn't escape.

"I heard that Chaos Layer creatures feed on Chaos power!" With a thought, Luo Feng threw a few Chaos crystals to the silver light creature. The silver light zipped over to the crystals, entwined around them, and began slowly gnawing.

"The strength of Chaos droplet creatures is related to the Chaos laws within their bodies!" Luo Feng thought. "It's a pity I can't find any creatures with Chaos Realm power! According to intel, all Chaos Layer creatures with Chaos Lord level strength in the Chaos Layer have been captured and taken away—those are very attractive to God Kings."

"These rare and extremely powerful Chaos Layer creatures could be captured and kept long-term!" Luo Feng thought. Through them, he might glimpse Chaos laws and their special applications.

Luo Feng's miniature universe!

Under a massive tree, its crown shaded a vast area.

"Ancestor Original, it's rare for you to visit me!" Luo Feng personally poured fruit wine for Ancestor Original. "Try this. It's fruit wine I've brewed many times, using various fruits collected in my miniature universe. It tastes excellent!"

"Mm!" Ancestor Original picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "The taste is good. I didn't expect you, Luo Feng, to dabble in brewing wine!"

"Just practicing!" Luo Feng also raised his glass and took a sip.

"I came this time to thank you, Luo Feng!" Ancestor Original said with emotion. "Thanks to the 'Nine Night Realm' legacy you gave me back then, after cultivating in the Origin Continent until now, I've finally broken through to the Eternal True God realm!"

"You broke through, Ancestor Original!" Luo Feng was overjoyed. The stronger the human race became, the happier he was.

After all, the Origin Continent was full of dangers. If he ever fell, Ancestor Original could still protect the human race.

"Comprehending laws in the Origin Continent is so much clearer, and with the legacy, I finally broke through today!" Ancestor Original said with a smile, sighing.

"The path of laws is indeed difficult. After this breakthrough, my days in the Origin Continent will be much easier!"

Luo Feng nodded. "Finally, your hard work has paid off!"

In the Origin Continent, the Void True God and Eternal True God realms represented completely different survival environments.

"Ancestor Original, your miniature universe hasn't expanded yet?" Luo Feng asked.

"No rush. Only you know that I've comprehended the source of laws. I haven't rushed to break through with my miniature universe or my divine body yet!" Ancestor Original looked at Luo Feng. "Once my divine body breaks through, my strength will no longer be concealed, and I'll face some choices! I'm debating whether to join the official government of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom or remain a solitary cultivator."

"Official government!" Luo Feng stated.

"The Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom has unfathomable depths, so joining their official ranks would be more suitable. While solitary cultivators have more freedom, they also face greater danger! Furthermore... I will likely go to the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom in the future as well!"

"You'll also come to the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom?" Ancestor Original asked.

"It will take quite some time!" Luo Feng replied. Both he and Master Di Chuyu needed to reach the Chaos Realm before Di Chuyu would recruit him. Currently, both of them were still at the Eternal True God level.

He himself was still far from becoming a Chaos Realm entity, and he didn't know how long it would take Di Chuyu either.

"I'll listen to you and join the official ranks!" Ancestor Original no longer hesitated.

He knew very well that Luo Feng had received the Duan Dong River lineage's inheritance and thus understood the top powers of the Origin Continent more deeply than he did.

Moreover, Ancestor Original, having been in the Origin Continent, had realized that newly ascended Eternal True Gods still had to live cautiously. Joining the official government would indeed significantly increase their safety. "This is the second half of 'Nine Night Realm,' containing many secret techniques for the Eternal True God level!" Luo Feng handed a memory stone to Ancestor Original.

"You don't need to specifically cultivate illusion techniques for me!" Ancestor Original immediately said, concerned it might affect Luo Feng's cultivation path.

"I'm cultivating multiple methods as preparation for reaching the Chaos Realm!" Luo Feng smiled.

"Thank you!" Ancestor Original then took the memory stone and absorbed the information of the second half of the 'Nine Night Realm' legacy.

Only after receiving this legacy did Ancestor Original truly understand how distant the Chaos Realm was, and how vast the gap between himself and Luo Feng had become.

He had only just become an Eternal True God.

Yet, one of the illusion techniques Luo Feng cultivated was already at the peak of the Eternal True God realm! His true strength was likely even more formidable and terrifying.

"Then I will go and complete my breakthrough now!" Ancestor Original stood up.

Luo Feng also stood up to see him off.

The days that followed for Luo Feng in Huyang City brought a rare period of calm.

The Heart Shadow Sect was also gathering some elite disciples from various sects, who had been dispersed across the Origin Continent. To attack a Chaos Prefecture, the stronger their combined force, the better. It would be most ideal if they could achieve an overwhelming, destructive momentum.

However, some of these elite disciples were too far from the Shi Kingdom. Even with the help of Marquis Liuyin, it wouldn't be a quick journey for them to return.

Furthermore, persuading some of these elite disciples to participate in the battle was quite a difficult task.

Luo Feng, meanwhile, dedicated himself to cultivation.

The origin of life, the origin of destruction, cultivation in the Chaos Layer, the Three Thousand Void Tribulation Beasts Chart! Luo Feng felt himself making slow but steady progress every single day.

Time flowed by. Unbeknownst to him, five epochs had already passed.
