Chapter 349: Two High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms

Inside a palace deep within a Large Primordial Hall, a silver-haired, silver-browed man and a woman in fiery red robes reported together while waiting patiently.

“Buzz.”

An invisible fluctuation descended, condensing into an old man—it was none other than Senior Yuan, who had once met Luo Feng.

“Lord!” The silver-haired man and the red-robed woman were incomparably respectful. Though both of them were High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms who had escaped the Cage, it was precisely because they had escaped the Cage that they understood the vast gap between themselves and a Lord.

“Qiugē, Yīfēiyǎ.” Yuan said with a smile, “Has the Dark Sacred Realm finally produced an Invincible Tier existence?”

“He is called Luo Feng, from the Source World ‘Origin Continent.’ He has only been in the Dark Sacred Realm for one thousand eras,” said the silver-haired man.

The red-robed woman also spoke, “His mental will has not yet escaped the Cage, nor has he switched to the Primordial Bloodline Path, yet his strength has already reached the Invincible Tier.”

A strand of Yuan’s consciousness had descended into the Dark Sacred Realm—nothing that happened within it could escape him. He already knew everything that had occurred to Luo Feng.

“Luo Feng?”

Yuan gazed from afar.

At this moment, Luo Feng was causing the vast heavens and space to collapse. Divine Emperor Mixu and the others—fifteen in total—were kneeling; the Eight Companions of the Heavenly Wolf were trembling in fear; Bo Xiu and the other two stood by, serving at his side.

“A little fellow from the Origin Continent.” Yuan naturally recognized Luo Feng.

Within his territory, for every Ultimate Realm being born from a Source World, he would take a glance.

“Another one who came out of a Source World.” Yuan gently shook his head. “Although the countless worlds we have constructed far exceed Source Worlds in number, the ‘world origin’ of those worlds still has far too many flaws compared to that of a Source World! The lifeforms they nurture clearly possess much weaker cultivation potential.”

The countless constructed worlds had greater numbers, even stronger bloodlines, and produced many more God Emperors.

But the further one progressed, the higher the proportion of Source World experts.

And those who ultimately reached the end to become ‘Primordial Lords’ were all from Source Worlds!

“Lord, should we guide this Luo Feng?” the silver-haired man asked.

“No rush.”

Yuan looked at Luo Feng. “He is only one step away from the ‘Half-Primordial Life-and-Death Path,’ and is currently perfecting it. This is not the time to disturb him. Once he fully perfects the Half-Primordial Life-and-Death Path, I will guide him then.”

“He is already at the Invincible Tier. When cultivators in the Dark Sacred Realm reach the Invincible Tier, they are usually guided,” the silver-haired man couldn’t help but say. “If Luo Feng is not guided, it may cause confusion among many cultivators in the Dark Sacred Realm.”

“Let them be confused.” Yuan smiled faintly. “The ones I truly wish to guide are those who are about to escape the Cage.”

“If one fulfills any of the three—mental will escaping the Cage, successfully refining a world-level Primordial Bloodline, or being a Half-Primordial Fusion Path cultivator—I will guide them. Luo Feng currently meets none of these.”

“We understand.” The red-robed woman said, “If one’s mental will escapes the Cage, they can resist higher levels of mental contamination and have hope of fully refining a High-Rank Primordial Bloodline, becoming a High-Rank Primordial Lifeform.”

“If one achieves success in refining a world-level Primordial Bloodline, becoming a High-Rank Primordial Lifeform is also easy.”

“But this Luo Feng—his Life-and-Death Path has not yet reached the Half-Primordial level, so why is his strength already so great?” Yīfēiyǎ was puzzled, and the silver-haired man was equally confused.

Yuan smiled.

“Even among Fusion Paths, the manifestation of strength can differ.” Yuan looked at Luo Feng from afar. “This Luo Feng’s Life-and-Death Path pursues extremity! Going too far down an extreme path makes the road harder to walk, but also grants tremendous power.”

“Extremity?” Qiugē and Yīfēiyǎ nodded slightly.

“For a Fusion Path, balance should be valued more. Once one goes to extremes, the difficulty rises rapidly.” Yuan watched Luo Feng with interest. “I look forward to seeing how far this Luo Feng can go.”

For Ultimate Realm beings from Source Worlds, Yuan only paid slight attention.

For ordinary Invincible Tier existences, he merely regarded them as important.

But for Half-Primordial Fusion Path cultivators—those were what truly excited him. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

“You two must keep watch on Luo Feng. The moment he reaches Half-Primordial, inform me immediately,” Yuan instructed.

“Yes.” Qiugē and Yīfēiyǎ respectfully accepted the order.

Yuan then disappeared.

At this moment, the collapsed space-time had already returned to calm.

“We will gather the compensation within one thousand eras,” said Divine Emperor Mixu and the other fifteen sincerely. Facing an Invincible existence, they harbored no other thoughts—only the desire to eliminate his hostility.

Luo Feng nodded.

“Let’s go.”

Luo Feng immediately led Bo Xiu, Divine Emperor Baiyin, and the other onto the warship.

“We respectfully send off Divine Emperor Luo Feng.” The Eight Companions of the Heavenly Wolf were extremely respectful, still filled with lingering fear.

Fortunately, Divine Emperor Luo Feng had been wise enough not to vent his anger on them.

Rip—

A裂缝 opened in the heavens and earth. The departing warship instantly passed through it and vanished at the edge of the world.

“Long-distance spatial travel?” Bo Xiu, Divine Emperor Baiyin, and the other were astonished.

They could clearly sense the warship moving through spatial fissures, each traversal covering an immense distance. It could already be considered ‘long-distance spatial travel.’

Luo Feng glanced at them.

Earlier, he had not rushed on purpose—he had been quite interested in Divine Emperor Mixu and the others. After all, defeating all fifteen of them together proved that he had reached the Invincible Tier.

“From this battle, their combined strength is only average,” Luo Feng thought. “Without a doubt, I should now be considered an ‘Invincible Tier’ existence recognized by the Dark Sacred Realm.”

“Invincible Tier… it is said that such existences are guided.”

“Why has no one come to guide me?”

Luo Feng pondered.

He had delayed his journey partly to test his strength, and partly to display it—so that he might be guided.

“Brother Luo Feng.” Bo Xiu, though emotionally stirred, was sharp-minded and could guess Luo Feng’s thoughts. “Now that you’ve publicly displayed Invincible strength, I believe it won’t be long before Senior Yuan and the others come to guide you.”

Bo Xiu added, “Senior Yuan and the others are busy with many affairs. Even a delay of several thousand eras would be normal.”

Luo Feng nodded.

“Let’s head to the Large Primordial Hall first.”

Luo Feng no longer held back. Controlling the warship, he used spatial fissures to travel at extreme speed toward Hunyuan City.

……

In Chengfeng City, some peak existences had also sent out avatars to observe the battle.

“Divine Emperor Mixu and the others have returned. The Eight Companions of the Heavenly Wolf have also returned.”

Through causal sensing, they confirmed that both parties had returned.

“It seems the raid has ended.”

“I can sense that Bo Xiu and the others are still alive, heading straight toward Hunyuan City.”

“Most likely Luo Feng and his group were no match, so they surrendered and offered tens of trillions of Primordial Crystals. Only then did Divine Emperor Mixu and the others spare them.”

These peak existences made their guesses.

From the outcome—

Luo Feng’s side, Divine Emperor Mixu’s side, and the Eight Companions of the Heavenly Wolf—three parties had clashed, yet all remained alive.

They could only assume that Luo Feng’s side had bowed their heads and offered treasures to avoid slaughter.

“What exactly happened?”

City Lord Fengqiao was also puzzled. “Bo Xiu is skilled in schemes, and that Luo Feng is unfathomable. How could it be so easy to extort tens of trillions of Primordial Crystals from them? Yet none of the three sides suffered casualties.”

“Brother Mixu.” City Lord Fengqiao directly sent a message to Divine Emperor Mixu. “I heard you obtained tens of trillions of Primordial Crystals from Divine Emperor Luo Feng?”

In Chengfeng City, in terms of individual status, City Lord Fengqiao ranked first, while Divine Emperor Mixu ranked second.

“No!”

Divine Emperor Mixu, still on his return journey, quickly refuted, “Divine Emperor Luo Feng’s strength is invincible throughout the Dark Sacred Realm. How could we possibly extort tens of trillions of Primordial Crystals from him?”

“What did you say?” City Lord Fengqiao was stunned and immediately asked, “You’re saying he is invincible in the Dark Sacred Realm?”

“Yes, invincible,” Divine Emperor Mixu replied. “Divine Emperor Luo Feng is an Invincible Tier existence!”

City Lord Fengqiao felt dazed.

An Invincible existence had once stayed in his Chengfeng City for a thousand eras.

He had even conducted several transactions with that Invincible existence—and profited quite a bit from them.

“I profited off an Invincible existence?” City Lord Fengqiao now only felt regret.

A great opportunity had once been right before him.

And he had missed it!

“He came to the Dark Sacred Realm for just a thousand eras, never even visited a Large Primordial Hall, yet already reached the Invincible Tier. What kind of terrifying potential is this?” City Lord Fengqiao gritted his teeth. “I must go there! Even hearing a fragment of his guidance would be worth it!”

He immediately decided to send one of his primary avatars to the Large Primordial Hall.

“I must also inform my senior brother at once,” City Lord Fengqiao thought.

His senior brother was Dao Lord Longjiu, who resided in the Large Primordial Hall of Hunyuan City.

Hunyuan City—the first city of the Dark Sacred Realm.

Whoosh.

From a blurred spatial fissure, a warship appeared out of thin air outside Hunyuan City.

“We’ve arrived.” Bo Xiu, Divine Emperor Baiyin, and the other looked at Hunyuan City before them. It was too fast—only a short moment had passed, yet they had already arrived.

Luo Feng’s gaze was fixed on the Large Primordial Hall within the city.

At this moment—

The two High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms inside the Large Primordial Hall were also looking toward Luo Feng.

“He’s here.” Qiugē and Yīfēiyǎ watched.

“As the Lord said, Luo Feng is now only one step away from the ‘Half-Primordial Life-and-Death Path,’ and he hasn’t encountered a bottleneck yet—he is still continuously perfecting it,” Qiugē sighed. “With his cultivation speed and potential, the final obstacles won’t stop him.”

“Yes. It won’t be long before he surpasses us.” Yīfēiyǎ also felt a trace of envy.

Among the three paths of the Invincible Tier—

The first two both involved refining Primordial Bloodlines to ultimately become High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms.

But the third path was different.

“A Half-Primordial Fusion Path cultivator, under the guidance of the Lords, can generally become a ‘world-level Primordial Lifeform.’ And once they take control of their home Source World, they become the master of that Source World,” Qiugē said with envy.

World-level Primordial Lifeforms—even within the entire cultivator camp—were extremely rare.

In both status and strength, they far surpassed the two of them.
