Time flowed like an endless river.

Luo Feng, clad in black robes and with dark hair, traversed the Infinite Hunyuan Space.

His gaze fell upon an Origin World in the distance, in which "The Sea of Chaos" breeds billions of 'Miniature Universes'. Each 'Miniature Universe' has a vast numbers of 'Plane Worlds'.

Luo Feng's attention settled on one particular 'Plane World', where humans thrived, bearing an uncanny resemblance to those of Earth.

In this Plane World, human lifespans rarely exceeded a century.

"Their culture is remarkably similar to that of Earth, about seventy to eighty percent," Luo Feng thought.

Among the countless civilizations across the Origin Worlds, finding one so akin to his homeland was a rare occurrence.

The people of this world faced the constant threat of the "Illusion Demons".

Through generations of struggle against these demons, they had developed a unique cultivation system.

"What is truth? What is illusion? Is your power a lie?"

"Even falsehoods can lead to true cultivation!"

In this world, a master was teaching his disciple.

"Master, is there a way to completely eradicate the 'Illusion Demons'?" the disciple asked.

"Yes," the master replied, gazing at his disciple.

"But generation after generation, we practitioners ultimately meet our doom at the hands of these demons," the disciple lamented, feeling utterly powerless.

Ever since embarking on the path of cultivation, he had glimpsed the harsh truth of their world.

Regardless of their sect, generations of disciples had perished.

"What couldn't be done in the past doesn't mean it can't be done in the future," Master said with a faint smile, then looked up, "Now that I've passed the Method on to you, it's time for me to do what I must."

The disciple was stunned. He had only just begun his training.

"The Wolf Demon Mountain has plagued the thirteen cities of the northwest. My entire cultivation journey has been dedicated to eradicating it. Now that the lineage of our humble mountain has been secured, I have no further attachments," Master said, smiling as he patted the disciple's head before turning to leave.

Whoosh! 

In an instant, he streaked across the sky, leaving a Rift-like trail in his wake as he hurtled toward the Wolf Demon Mountain.

"Master!" The disciple knelt, tears streaming down his face as he watched.

The Wolf Demon Mountain was an "Earth-Grade Calamity", second only to "Heaven-Grade Calamities" in the world.

The "Earth-Grade Calamities" were 'Illusion Demon' forces that plagued entire provinces.

A terrifying battle raged within the Wolf Demon Mountain.

Master, with his unparalleled talent, fought with all his might, sacrificing most of his life force to finally slay the Illusion Demon of the Wolf Demon Mountain.

Just as he watched the demon's demise with profound satisfaction, a surge of power descended upon the corpse. The 'Wolf Demons' absorbed this energy, not only they were being resurrected but also their strength was also increasing.

"Boom!" "Boom-!" "Boom-!"

"Rumble-"

The influence of the Wolf Demon Mountain rapidly expanded.

"Hahaha! All thanks to you, I broke through in my moment of desperation! From now on, the Wolf Demon Mountain will be known as a 'Heaven-Grade Calamity'!" The Wolf Demon roared with laughter.

"A 'Heaven-Grade Calamity'?" The gravely wounded Master stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding before him.

How could this be happening?

"A 'Heaven-Grade Calamity' will devastate half the kingdom. I am a sinner, a sinner!"

The Master couldn't accept what he was witnessing.

He had cultivated for thirty years solely to eradicate the Wolf Demon, only to inadvertently empower it further.

This world, already burdened by immense suffering, now faced another 'Heaven-Grade Calamity'.

"I'm truly powerless," the Master murmured, watching the Wolf Demon's blood-drenched maw engulf the heavens and earth as it lunged to devour him.

The Wolf Demon's transformed power left him utterly defenseless. He could only await death.

But at that very moment-

In the Infinite Hunyuan Space, Luo Feng, separated by vast stretches of space-time, gazed down at this Universe within the countless Universes of the Origin World's Sea of Chaos. He observed everything unfolding in the Plane World below.

"How could you little ones possibly resist a World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform's scheme?" Luo Feng shook his head gently.

Within this Origin World, an Clone of a World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform had descended, its power maintained at the 'Upper Limit of the Chaos Realm'.

With such strength, the clone could secretly orchestrate events, sowing chaos across countless Universes!

In this Origin World, power is too fragmented. Each Universe is less than one ten-thousandth the size of the Primordial Universe!

The strongest native beings cultivated here barely reached the 'True God-level'.

Naturally, the Clone of the World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform could easily manipulate everything.

All life in this world continuously generated intense negative emotions: fear, despair, anger, hatred, and more.

Even though their lifespans are short- mere decades- their high intelligence, intense emotions, and sheer numbers made them an irresistible food source for World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms!

After all, the accumulated intensity of emotions from such vast numbers far surpassed the emotions of the much rarer Hunyuan Lifeforms.

Even Though separated by vast distances of space-time, Luo Feng manifested an Clone in that Origin World with a single thought.

This Clone possessed the peak strength of the Chaos Realm.

With a hand transformed into a blade, the Clone made a gentle slicing motion.

"Severance!" Luo Feng's Clone uttered the word softly.

The law followed his command!

The blade's light followed the Life Qi, slaying the Clone of the World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform and annihilating the myriad "calamity" forces in the Origin World.

The Wolf Demon, merely a fragment of these countless calamities, was instantly obliterated.

"Hmm?"

On Wolf Demon Mountain, the Master watched as the Wolf Demon's blood-red maw, large enough to blot out the sky, descended upon him.

Suddenly, the Wolf Demon vanished without a sound.

Throughout the entire world, every Illusion Demon was annihilated.

Even the Origin World itself- every universe disaster, all the forces of calamity- had vanished, utterly erased without a trace.

"What's happening?" Master stood up, gazing around in bewilderment.

He noticed the sky was brighter than ever before!

The dark, gray miasma representing the Illusion Demons had completely disappeared, leaving the sky clear and radiant.

For the first time, the sun's light fully illuminated the entire world.

Not a single trace of the Illusion Demons' power remained in heaven or earth.

"Is this real or an illusion?" Master couldn't believe his eyes, "Am I trapped in a dream?"

As he repeatedly tested the reality of the situation, he finally confirmed:

"It's real."

"This world is real. The Illusion Demons are gone... completely gone!" Master's voice trembled with wild elation, "Our world has finally eradicated the Illusion Demons completely!"

Though he had told his disciples there was hope of eradicating all Illusion Demons, he himself had never truly believed it.

All he could do was burn himself out, hoping to make the world a little better.

But today... the scene he had never dared to dream of had finally come to pass.

........

Standing in the Infinite Hunyuan Space, Luo Feng watched everything unfold across vast stretches of space and time, a faint smile gracing his lips.

The joy of the people resonated with him, filling him with a sense of contentment.

"Once, I was just like them- the most ordinary and insignificant lifeform in the entire Origin World," Luo Feng murmured, his gaze fixed on the scene below, "They may be weak, but they still experience love, hatred, and longing. They have their own desires and pursuits."

Luo Feng cared deeply about the suffering of these lowest strata of society and felt compassion for their vulnerability.

Because he was once a lifeform just like them.

Lord Jin, after all, was born as a Destruction Demon. From birth, he had been accustomed to annihilating countless lives.

Within their clan, the law of the jungle prevailed, with the strongest Destruction Demons rising to dominance through ruthless competition.

Lord Jin felt no pity for the weak and vulnerable. After having spent his entire existence slaughtering them, how could he possibly feel compassion?

But Luo Feng felt pity for them.

After all, he had once been one of them.

"There's so little I can do right now," Luo Feng murmured, watching.

Countless Origin Worlds, the unbearable suffering they had endured in the past, and the torment they continued to face in the present... all of it served as a constant reminder to Luo Feng.

Weakness led to this fate!

To prevent his Home Origin World from suffering the same fate!

And for the sake of these countless weak...

A burning desire naturally arose within Luo Feng's heart.

"One day, I, Luo Feng, will make it so that no living being in the entire Infinite Hunyuan Space dares to devour a single Origin World," he vowed silently.

To achieve this, he would need terrifying power!

To instill true fear even in the Hunyuan Ancestors!

"My blade is still not sharp enough," Luo Feng continued his journey through the Infinite Hunyuan Space.

.........

Luo Feng's numerous clones traversed the Infinite Hunyuan Space, observing the past and present of countless Origin Worlds.

Whenever they encountered World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms devouring Origin Cores of the Origin Worlds or sentient beings, Luo Feng's clones casually crushed them.

The number of World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms killed seemed small at first glance.

But as time passed, the cumulative toll grew substantial.

"We can't touch Origin Worlds for now."

"Whether it's the living beings or the Origin World's Cores, any attempt to devour them will attract Lord Luo Feng! When he appears, we will have no chance of resistance- and only certain death will be awaiting us."

"Let's hold off on exchanging for Origin World resources."

As Luo Feng crushed one World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform after another, word spread like wildfire. Nearly all World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms in the Infinite Hunyuan Space temporarily ceased devouring Origin World resources.

They even hesitated to send Clones into Origin Worlds, fearing Lord Luo Feng's wrath!

Thus-

The suffering of countless Origin Worlds suddenly vanished during the period when Lord Luo Feng's clones roamed the Infinite Hunyuan Space!

"Even World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms can feel fear."

"In the entire Infinite Hunyuan Space, there are over two million World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms," Luo Feng thought.

As the founder of the Hunyuan Life and Death Dao, he could sense the Life Qi of every World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform with a single thought.

Among these Innate Hunyuan beings, the proportion that evolved into World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform was indeed far higher than among Practitioners.

"Within the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction alone, there are over eight hundred thousand World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms. Many others dwell in remote, isolated regions."

"I've only walked for a hundred Epochs and killed a mere seven thousand World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms, yet I've already terrified all the World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform," Luo Feng remarked with a hint of emotion.

In the past, he believed that he was powerless to affect the countless Origin Worlds beyond the Practitioner Territory.

But now, having taken action, he realized...
Simply eliminating seven thousand World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform had drastically improved the conditions in countless Origin Worlds.

"So, some things must be attempted."

"After all, action brings corresponding results," Luo Feng said, gazing into the distance.

Space-time began to distort in the distance, faintly connecting to a distant realm. A colossal figure in that realm turned its gaze toward Luo Feng, then directly crossed the void to descend into this vast space.

An endlessly coiling serpent hovered in the air- the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor, leader of the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction's Nine Sovereigns.

"Luo Feng, cease your actions!" the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor commanded, his gaze fixed on Luo Feng.
