Luo Feng sat alone at the peak of the cave mansion, watching the fine rain drizzle between heaven and earth.
The Three Thousand Void Calamity Beast Diagram had immersed Luo Feng so deeply that he had only reached the eighth level before temporarily stopping, partly because his spirit felt tired and needed rest, and partly because he needed to pause and ponder carefully.
“The experience of a Catastrophe Beast differs from that of normal cultivators,” Luo Feng reflected. “From the moment of its birth, it faces relentless calamities, each designed to drive it to total despair and utter destruction.”
The world of cultivators still had order.
But what the Catastrophe Beasts experienced was endless ‘calamity.’ If at any moment they gave up in despair, they would die.
Only with an ‘Heart of Eternality’ can one survive the endless calamities!
“Each disaster forges them anew; having survived one, they face another… Such seemingly endless calamities, just understanding the essence makes me shudder,” Luo Feng thought to himself.
He, too, had undergone trials and tests of life and death, but not as many as those experienced by the Catastrophe Beast.
“Each calamity seemed to be ordained by some high and mighty law,” Luo Feng mused, sensing this high law was different from the highest laws.
“The spirit appears to be the most fragile,”
“Once the spiritual will shatters, even if one possesses a powerful divine body and powerful secret treasure weapons, one cannot exert one’s full strength.”
“But if the spirit is strong, just by sheer willpower, enemies can be swept away.”
“The heart is a weakness, but it can also be the most powerful weapon.”
At that moment, Luo Feng also felt some admiration for the Catastrophe Beast; having survived so many dreadful calamities, it finally reached the other shore, completely transforming itself.
Suddenly—
Luo Feng felt that inside his body, the Star Tower, Morosa was asking to come out.
“Master! Master, let me out,” Morosa communicated telepathically.
Upon Luo Feng’s intention, Morosa appeared out of thin air beside him. Morosa lay down contentedly as he watched the drizzle outside, comfortably rubbing his belly.
“The corpse of Xue Yun is still in the Star Tower; how come you’re resting?” Luo Feng looked at him, fully aware of everything inside the Star Tower.
“I’m a bit over full,” Morosa lied comfortably, communicating telepathically, “I first absorbed other eternal true god corpses, which were only marginally helpful. But Yutian Xu’s corpse is too strong and its bloodline so special that I’m stuffed and can’t digest it right away.”
Even a Sector Beast could become over full if it ate too rapidly.
The fact that Yutian Xu could cultivate to make his divine body comparable to unlimited divine bodies testified to the terrifying nature of his bloodline.
“You can get stuffed too?” Luo Feng teased telepathically.
“I feel that if I digest for a while, even without absorbing any more divine bodies, I could suffice to reach the Primal Chaos Realm for dozens of eras,” Morosa excitedly stood up, transmitting, “Master, if I continue to absorb the Divine Body of Xue Yun after some days… I believe I could directly enter the Primal Chaos Realm after completely absorbing it.”
Luo Feng was astonished.
“So soon you want to enter the Primal Chaos Realm?” Luo Feng looked at him.
“Yutian Xu’s divine body, comparable to the unlimited divine bodies, is just smaller in size, yet his bloodline is extraordinary. The Divine Body of Xue Yun… attracst me even more than Yutian Xu’s,” Morosa telepathically communicated. “I am certain, once I have absorbed the Divine Body of Xue Yun, I will certainly achieve the Primal Chaos Realm.”
“Master, when will you achieve the Primal Chaos Realm?” Morosa telepathically communicated, deliberately asking.
Luo Feng looked at him, “How are your will cultivation techniques coming along? Later on, inside the Star Tower, how about we spar and test out the Secret Technique of Willpower?”
Morosa gamely grinned.
“Go and teach Qingyan; that kid has yet to grasp even the Ten Fundamental Laws,” Luo Feng urged.
“Yes, yes,” Morosa didn’t boast, instantly transforming into a shadow and flying towards the mountain base to find Moyu Qingyan.
Luo Feng slightly shook his head.
…
Days passed, and Luo Feng, aside from resting every few days, spent his time on understanding the Calamity Beast Diagram.
Suddenly one day.
“Master! Master,” Moyu Qingyan urgently transmitted.
“What is it?” Luo Feng was currently inside the underground hall of the Star Tower, delving into the Calamity Beast Diagram; he knew Moyu Qingyan wouldn’t disturb him lightly.
“There’s a letter for you, said to be a personal letter from the Marquis of Liu Yin,” Moyu Qingyan felt pressured, as a personal letter from a Primal Chaos Overlord naturally couldn’t be ignored by the master.
Boom—
The door of the underground hall opened.
Luo Feng walked out, his figure flashing, and he soon arrived at the main entrance of the cave mansion.
“Lord Luo He,” standing at the cave mansion’s main entrance was a rock creature who smiled accommodatingly, “I am ‘Chen Shijiu’ from Qian Shi Commerce Association, entrusted by the Marquis of Liu Yin of Shi Kingdom to deliver this personal letter to you.”
The Qian Shi Commerce Association was also a major commerce association spread across multiple nations, backed by several Godly Kings, and likewise had a branch in Huyang City.
“Thank you, Chairman Chen,” Luo Feng knew the other’s identity.
“Just delivering a letter, so I’ll take my leave now,” the rock creature said with a smile; as the chairman of the Qian Shi Commerce Association branch in Huyang City, his status and influence were top-tier within the city, but he remained very humble in front of Luo Feng.
Luo Feng took the letter and watched the other leave.
The door closed, and Luo Feng’s figure flashed as he already reached the top of the mountain; he immediately began to examine the letter.
As he peeled away the outer layer of the seal…
Hum!
The letter burst into flames, burning into a mass of blood-red fire, startling Luo Feng slightly.
“A Divine Power Incarnation?” Luo Feng naturally realized that a strand of terrifying divine power was hidden within the letter, which was triggered as he opened it.
The blood-red flames coalesced into a figure clad in dark red armor, vaguely emitting an aura of dark disaster, smiling at Luo Feng with eyes that were two blazing orbs of blood-red flames.
Even as he smiled, Luo Feng still felt an ominous terror, carrying a strong threat.
“Marquis Liu Yin?” Luo Feng was also somewhat familiar with simple information about Marquis Liu Yin.
“It is I,” Marquis Liu Yin nodded with a smile, “I heard about a remarkable eternal true god in Huyang City, and I came to meet him in person.”
“The Marquis flatters me. Compared to you, we eternal true gods are not worth mentioning,” Luo Feng immediately replied.
“Today you are an eternal true god, perhaps in the future, you will also be a Primal Chaos Overlord, a peer of mine,” Marquis Liu Yin stood atop a mountain looking at the vast city, “Huyang City, a beautiful city indeed. I intend to make it part of my fiefdom. What do you think?”
Luo Feng immediately said, “The conflict between Liu Yin Primal Chaos State and Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos Prefecture is not something an eternal true god like me can decide.”
Marquis Liu Yin gazed at the vast heaven and earth, sighing, “In the Land of Origin, powers are mixed, every resource has its master! Even Godly Kings often have no chance to intervene in the most precious resources.”
“Those of us who want to ascend the path of cultivation, evolving to higher levels of life. Personal cultivation is one part, resources are another,” Marquis Liu Yin looked at Luo Feng, “The fiefdom of a Primal Chaos Overlord can produce resources endlessly. Unfortunately, I only have one Primal Chaos State as my fiefdom, too small!”
Luo Feng listened.
“According to the rules of Shi Kingdom, a Primal Chaos Overlord has only one Primal Chaos State as a fiefdom. Want something bigger? You have to conquer it yourself,” Marquis Liu Yin commented, “Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos State adjacent to mine is my perfect target.”
“For my path of cultivation, I need to expand my fiefdom,” stated Marquis Liu Yin, “No one can stop me, for stopping me is to obstruct my path of cultivation.”
The voice of Marquis Liu Yin carried an unshakable will.
“If the Marquis of Jiu Jiang obstructs me, I will handle him personally,” Marquis Liu Yin looked at Luo Feng, “And at the level of an eternal true god, your single-handed power can surpass the entire army of Huyang City. I hope you do not intervene in this matter.”
“If you do not intervene, I will send you a gift, and we can also be friends.”
“If you intervene, messing up my plans…” Marquis Liu Yin looked at Luo Feng, “Think about it, is it worth it to risk your life for an unrelated Marquis of Jiu Jiang?”
After finishing, the figure of Marquis Liu Yin dissipated.
Knowing Luo Feng’s intelligence after understanding his loathing of evil and that he was difficult to use, Marquis Liu Yin decided to intimidate him a bit, a retreat on Luo Feng’s part would naturally be good. Even if unsuccessful there was no loss for him.
“This Marquis Liu Yin seems very intent on seizing Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos Prefecture,” Luo Feng slightly frowned, clearly even Primal Chaos Overlords cared greatly about the continuous resource output of their fiefdoms.
“I should still act with caution in my future actions,” thought Luo Feng.
In fact, Luo Feng had never truly intended to risk his life for the Marquis of Jiu Jiang! Whether it was the regular conduct of the Five Great Families of the city owner’s mansion or preparing himself to cope with the future kings of Shi Kingdom, there was no need to put himself in jeopardy.
“Marquis Liu Yin coming to see me personally, this Huyang City and even the entire Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos Prefecture, might be about to face a war,” Luo Feng thought for a while, then returned to the underground hall.
The ownership of Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos Prefecture should worry the Marquis of Jiu Jiang, the Godly Kings of Yu Kingdom, not himself. How many benefits were there really, to warrant risking his life?
Inside the Star Tower.
Luo Feng sat cross-legged, gazing at the Three Thousand Void Calamity Beast Diagram floating in midair.
“At the 533rd layer, the Catastrophe Beast faced battle after battle, during which it also encountered some companions,” Luo Feng could see on the reflected Void Diagram, besides the Catastrophe Beast, there were some similar Catastrophe Creatures, “but its companions fell one by one, some even killed by the Catastrophe Beast itself.”
…
“At the 679th layer, the Catastrophe Beast had no more companions, at this moment it was even more lonely, yet even more powerful. Its Spiritual Will grew more terrifying, solving all the calamities it faced…”
Luo Feng vaguely sensed a path of telepathic cultivation, belonging to the Catastrophe Beast’s Telepathy Method.
At over six hundred layers, the Catastrophe Beast’s Spiritual Will had grown terrifyingly, far surpassing Luo Feng at that moment, capable of causing the vast heaven and earth to vanish and the intangible laws of calamity to collapse with just a thought.
A whisper of realization from Luo Feng made him feel his own spirit also slowly transforming.
…
“At the 852nd layer, the Catastrophe Beast encountered the most terrifying calamity ever, another similar Catastrophe Beast, the two beasts fought a battle to the death.”
“This terrifying battle lasted a long time, until the 873rd layer in the Void Reflection Diagram, the Catastrophe Beast finally triumphed, undergo a significant transformation during this victory.”
Luo Feng, just by observing the Three Thousand Void Calamity Beast Diagram, and from the imageries of these scrolls, felt as though he was growing alongside the Catastrophe Beast, and he gained a lot from it.
“A heart, can be large or small; large enough to be an enemy of the supreme laws, small enough to merge with countless lesser beings.”
“After merging with numerous lesser beings, it can match the highest supreme.”
At the 873rd layer, as the Catastrophe Beast triumphed and transformed completely, Luo Feng perceived more of the Catastrophe Beast’s method of telepathic cultivation, his own spirit also slowly transforming.
“Boom~~~”
Long since an eternal true god, he had been at the peak of a Primal Chaos Overlord’s will.
Nurtured in a formidable godly body, honed under the Secret Technique of L…
