Chapter 380: Entering the War

“Luo Feng, aside from domains, what else are you proficient in?” Yuan asked.

“There are mainly two categories. One is the physical body combat system, and the other is the blade technique system.” Luo Feng began to demonstrate them one by one. Among the Lords of the cultivator faction, everything was open—each other’s Paths, inheritances, and combat methods were not concealed.

The reason they did not conceal anything was, on one hand, because they were the most trustworthy companions. The more they understood each other, the better they could coordinate. On the other hand, each Lord’s ‘Path’ was unique.

Even if one day two Lords created the same Primordial Path, the internal mysteries would still differ greatly, and the mental will integrated into them would be completely different.

Every Lord had to open up a path most suitable for themselves. Luo Feng and the others all understood that when creating a Path at the Primordial level, even the slightest mismatch in mental will would lead to failure.

“Techniques of the Life Path are usually rather insidious and difficult to deal with.” Jin watched from the side in amazement. “But your techniques are quite fierce.”

“I don’t like purely life-based techniques,” Luo Feng said.

Pure life techniques lacked sufficient killing power.

They mainly relied on methods such as depriving vitality, infiltration, and erosion. Against those World-level Primordial Lifeforms, Luo Feng only needed a glance to completely strip away their vitality, killing them instantly.

But when facing the Ancestors, such methods were far less effective.

What was needed were killing moves formed after the fusion of life and death.

“Luo Feng, when the seventy-three Ancestors fight us Lords, they all use long-range methods,” Yuan said. “Neither side dares let their true body fall into the enemy group.”

Luo Feng nodded.

Once surrounded by the enemy, even Lord Wulan would be heavily restrained, or even temporarily imprisoned.

“So when the time comes, you only need to use long-range methods,” Yuan said. “As for coordination methods, I’ve already sent the information to everyone.”

Streams of information were transmitted to the seven Lords nearby.

Luo Feng also received the information stream.

Within it, Yuan had already simulated detailed battle scenarios—eight Lords coordinating against seventy-three Ancestors, with numerous combat situations fully constructed.

“I understand.” Luo Feng nodded. At his current life level, a single viewing allowed him to extrapolate countless variations and deduce many other possible combat responses.

“Luo Feng will greatly enhance our group combat capability. Our overall strength will increase by thirty to forty percent,” Yuan said while looking at the others. “And the Ancestors still don’t know about Luo Feng’s breakthrough. We must seize this opportunity to kill more of them.”

All the Lords present nodded.

They had long been filled with killing intent.

After all, they stood at the highest position within the cultivator faction. They bore the responsibility of protecting the entire faction. Now that more than one-sixth of their territory had fallen and countless lives had been annihilated, how could they not feel stifled and enraged?

“Xingmang, take Luo Feng and depart carefully,” Yuan said.

“Alright.” Lord Xingmang nodded.

“Once Luo Feng enters the battle, the Ancestors will notice and urgently dispatch reinforcements. It is estimated those reinforcements will take three days to arrive,” Yuan said, looking at everyone. “Those three days will be our window to expand our gains.”

The Infinite Space was simply too vast. Even though the Naturally Born Primordial Lifeform Faction had Ancestors skilled in space-time, reinforcements still required three days.

Three days of travel was already considered fast.

“Luo Feng, shall we depart now?” Xingmang looked at him.

“Alright.” Luo Feng nodded. Within such a short time, this was already the most prepared state he could achieve.

Hu.

Xingmang took Luo Feng and silently left the Origin Land.

……

Luo Feng could be considered the one most skilled at concealing life aura in the entire Infinite Space. Every trace of his life aura was completely controlled. Even causal methods could hardly perceive him.

“With my current life level, each step I take can cross infinitely vast distances—much faster than lake teleportation. But compared to Lord Xingmang, it’s not even worth mentioning.” Luo Feng could sense his companion’s speed.

With each step Xingmang took while carrying him, countless layers of space-time were traversed.

Layers upon layers of space-time appeared beneath their feet like a map. It felt as if they were walking across a map.

“So this is how the one with the highest attainment in space-time across the Infinite Space travels?” Luo Feng marveled.

“Each Lord has their own specialty.” Xingmang smiled. “I’m just good at traveling.”

“This isn’t just traveling—it’s transcending space-time entirely.” Luo Feng looked below. “Vast space-time becomes like a map to cross at will. This ability is truly unimaginable.”

No wonder all high-rank Primordial Lifeform bloodlines and World-level Primordial bloodlines had been collected! Xingmang’s ability was indeed terrifying.

“Every Lord is immortal and indestructible,” Xingmang said. “All are completely transcendent beings. It’s only because we must protect the cultivator faction that we work so hard.”

Lords were the most powerful individuals in the Infinite Space. If they were selfish and ignored the life and death of countless cultivators, they could live far more freely.

But the Source World had nurtured them. Along their cultivation journey, they had received countless favors and karmic ties—how could they forget?

No matter how powerful one became, one could not forget their origin—their roots.

“Right now, even protecting the three thousand six hundred world clusters is already very difficult for us. More than six hundred have fallen,” Xingmang said, looking at Luo Feng. “Your talent and potential are no less than mine, but you are different—your path excels in combat.”

“To protect a vast territory of cultivators, what we rely on is strength—combat strength,” Xingmang said. “You must understand… Source Worlds exist everywhere, far beyond just these three thousand six hundred world clusters.”

Luo Feng nodded lightly. “I will do my utmost.”

The three thousand six hundred world clusters were, relatively speaking, the region with the highest density of Source Worlds within the Infinite Space. It was suitable for constructing the Space-Time Network. The seven Lords had long worked to guard this territory.

There were also many other world clusters—remote and distant.

For example, there was a region even more vast than the three thousand six hundred world clusters, yet it contained only a single world cluster.

Sparse and remote—meaning extremely difficult to defend.

“Don’t think too much about it.” Xingmang looked at Luo Feng. “Right now, our priority is to fully reclaim the three thousand six hundred world clusters.”

……

After nearly a day of travel, Xingmang finally brought Luo Feng close to the battlefield.

This battlefield was an endlessly vast void, with the range of combat spreading extremely far. At the edge of the battlefield, even a Source World had been blasted apart! The Lords could do nothing about it.

After all, they were at a disadvantage.

“Hu~~~~~”

Space-time trembled like boiling water. Within the endless turbulence, seventy-three terrifying figures unleashed the highest-level powers. These supreme forces intertwined and coordinated, completely enveloping the seven Lords.

The main battle avatars of the seven Lords struggled to resist.

Fortunately, Yuan’s formation allowed their coordination to undergo a qualitative transformation, increasing their overall strength by several times. Otherwise, the Lords would not have been able to withstand the combined assault of the Ancestors.

Although Luo Feng’s addition increased overall strength by thirty to forty percent—which seemed significant—it was still far less than Yuan’s importance in group combat. Of course, this increase was on top of the existing foundation, so Luo Feng’s contribution was still very evident.

“That Lord Xingmang, when fighting us, even splits his power to attack various teams.”

“We must seize this chance to crush them.”

The Ancestors felt increasingly annoyed.

Xingmang being able to split his power to attack elsewhere meant they could not force the Lords to fight with full strength.

At this moment—

Hu!

Space-time twisted.

Lord Xingmang arrived directly within the Lords’ formation, bringing with him a Black-Robed, Black-Haired Man. That incarnation of Xingmang immediately merged with his main battle avatar.

“Hmm?” The seventy-three Ancestors instantly noticed the Black-Robed, Black-Haired Man.

“Who is he?”

The Ancestors were alarmed, sensing something was wrong.

The moment the Black-Robed, Black-Haired Man descended, a Life-and-Death Domain spread out. Although it was rapidly shattered when it penetrated the Ancestors’ region, within their own side, Luo Feng’s Source Power rapidly transformed and replenished his companions’ strength.

Moman, Jin, Minghuang, and Naigu—who had been injured—instantly recovered to their peak states.

After joining the Lords, and under the guidance of Yuan’s formation, Luo Feng returned to his normal massive body size. Together with Lord Wulan beside him, he resisted the attacks from the Ancestors.

“Boom—”

The combined attack of the seventy-three Ancestors, formed from interwoven supreme powers, descended overwhelmingly!

Even after being weakened by Yuan’s formation, it still crashed down upon Wulan’s body—and also upon Luo Feng’s massive body.

Above Luo Feng’s body surface was an invisible energy layer. This protective layer resisted wave after wave of attacks. Powered by “one hundred and eight million sources,” it was constantly replenished even as it was consumed.

Yet some forces still bypassed the energy layer and garments, penetrating directly into his body.

But Luo Feng’s body—every part of it—was as tough as one-tenth of the blood scales of the Star Tower. Though damage appeared everywhere, it rapidly regenerated.

Visible wounds appeared across Luo Feng’s body, blood flowing—yet constantly healing.

“Luo Feng held on.”

The other companions had previously been somewhat worried.

After all, under the siege of seventy-three Ancestors, Wulan blocked more than half, while Luo Feng had to withstand the pressure from roughly thirty Ancestors! No other Lord could endure such pressure alone.

From the surface, Luo Feng’s injuries appeared more severe than Wulan’s, but they were not worsening.

“Every moment, every part of my body is affected.”

“Each breath consumes about one percent of my energy reserves—still within acceptable limits.” Luo Feng was somewhat shocked. His energy reserves were immensely vast, and his body—refined through life-and-death fusion and comprehension of the Star Tower blood scales—was already extremely tough. Yet it still consumed one percent of his energy per breath?

This was with Yuan’s formation and his companions’ domain techniques weakening the attacks as much as possible—yet the power remained so terrifying.

Luo Feng also noticed Wulan. With a larger body, Wulan bore even more attacks. His body, like a Source World, sustained only minor injuries. After all, he pursued ultimate defense.

Together, Luo Feng and Wulan shielded the other Lords, greatly reducing their pressure.

At the moment Luo Feng appeared, he was completely exposed to all forces across the Infinite Space.

At the same time—

Far away, in his home Source World, Luo Feng’s clone began its breakthrough and started refining the Source World.
