***********************************

Before this war, only three Hunyuan Ancestors had fallen in battle!

After being tempered by the war, the remaining Hunyuan Ancestors had grown more experienced, and the Lord faction had not achieved any results for a long time.

But now, two more Hunyuan Ancestors have died!

"Lord Jin's techniques, and the artistic conception of destruction, are indeed superior to mine." Among the group of Hunyuan Ancestors, there was a restrained black light, within which stood a figure resembling both a human and a bird.

This is the "Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor", one of the Nine Sovereigns of the innate Hunyuan lifeform faction, ranking among the top three!

This time, six of the Nine Sovereigns had joined the battle: four immortal existences, along with the "Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor" and the "Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor".

"This new lord has the ability to instantly restore his companions to peak strength- he is the key point." The Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor gazed at Luo Feng from afar.

"Wuxian She(Infinite Serpent), Wu Jin (Endless), Chu Shi(Primordial), I will attempt to deal with the new Lord!" The Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor's voice echoed in the consciousness of his three companions.

"If we cannot break through this node, we will retreat from the battle first!"

The Wuxian She Hunyuan Ancestor, Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor, and Chu Shi Hunyuan Ancestor all acknowledged.

These Hunyuan Ancestors had many coordinated strategies, though they were reluctant to use them.

But now, the situation was too dire. If the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor failed, they would have no choice but to retreat from the battle!

Although the exchange seemed slow, the Hunyuan Ancestors' consciousness communication took only an instant.

They attacked together, focusing on the new lord.

The Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor's voice resonated in the consciousness of six other Hunyuan Ancestors- some with a thousand eyes, some with beguiling forms, and others resembling beasts shimmering with starlight...

With the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor leading and six Hunyuan Ancestors assisting, they launched a joint strike.

"New Lord, you shall be annihilated!" A cold voice pierced Luo Feng's soul.

As Luo Feng was attacked, Lord Ming Huang also ignited his main combat clone, his body dissolving into terrifying golden lightning thunders.

The golden lightning thunders traversed the barriers of space-time, locking onto heavily wounded Hunyuan Ancestors- so that they could not escape.

Endless light spread, and illusions emerged as the Hunyuan Ancestors desperately tried to aid their companions.

The Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor had a premonition that if they could severely wound this new Lord, the situation could still be reversed.

Boom!

Luo Feng felt as though his soul had been struck by a vast, unyielding mountain.

The enemy's power condensed into a massive hammer that blotted out the sky, smashing ruthlessly into his soul.

This was a combined attack from the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor, Thousand-Eyes Hunyuan Ancestor, Xing Luo Hunyuan Ancestor, and four others- targeting both his consciousness and body!

Instantly, Luo Feng's soul trembled violently, while an invisible force permeated every inch of his body, guiding it toward collapse and destruction!

"The Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor and the others?" Though his soul quaked, Luo Feng remained absolutely clear-headed.

After all, he pursued the ultimate extreme of life's strength.

The 'Hunyuan Life-Death Dao' contains six major systems, with the consciousness system being a critical component. This made his soul exceptionally powerful even among Lords of the same level!

Compared with those Hunyuan Ancestors, it is even more terrifying!

Even under the full-force attack of the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor and his companions, he remained unharmed. His 1.8 billion origin cores could recover one-tenth of their energy reserves every instant.

With such terrifying regenerative power, he swiftly expelled all external energy from his body!

"We have failed." The Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor sighed softly as he watched from afar.

This outcome had been within his expectations.

The Thousand-Eyes Hunyuan Ancestor, Xing Luo Hunyuan Ancestor, and the others were equally helpless.

The collective attacks of the Hunyuan Ancestors are usually hindered by Yuan's formations and weakened by the domains of multiple Lords.

Yuan's formations would redirect most of the attacks to Wu Lan, leaving Luo Feng to bear only a fraction.

However, the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor and his six companions' soul-focused killing move avoided Yuan's formations and domain barriers, striking directly into Luo Feng's body.

With this technique, the innate Hunyuan lifeform faction had slain other existences of similar level from opposing factions.

But against the eight Lords of the practitioner faction, its effectiveness was diminished.

Every Lord is immortal. Even if they endured this attack, only Lords Naigu and Lord Jin would be affected, and their strength will be diminished.

However, the others will be remained unshaken.

This technique could not lock onto Lord Xingmang, nor could it touch Yuan's soul.

Lord Wu Lan withstood all attacks effortlessly, and Luo Feng did the same.

Lord Ming Huang and Lord Mo Man possessed exceptionally strong souls, suffering only minor physical injuries after resisting the spiritual will consciousness attack.

In the past, this technique had targeted Lord Naigu and Lord Jin, even pushing the Lord faction into crisis.

But with Luo Feng's arrival, the defensive capabilities of the Lord faction had been elevated entirely!

"Retreat from battle!" The Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor's voice resounded in the minds of every Hunyuan Ancestor.

Under Lord Ming Huang's thunderous strikes, the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor transformed into a boundless, all-encompassing radiance, instantly shrouding the vast territory where the Hunyuan Ancestors stood and assimilating the bodies of many Hunyuan Ancestors.

The endless light abruptly contracted, condensing into a single point before retracting into a massive sphere.

All other Hunyuan Ancestors vanished from the vast space, leaving only a colossal sphere behind- they had retreated from battle!

The eight figures gazed at the enormous sphere, devoid of any desire to attack.

"Hahaha, exhilarating! In the past, after endless scheming over long years, we only managed to kill the Hunyuan Ancestor with the weakest survival skills. But this time, we've slain three in such a short span!"
Lord Jin laughed heartily, feeling incomparably delighted.

To use the technique of burning his main combat clone as if it were an attack unleashed every instant- this sensation was truly marvelous!

"Xingmang, have you secured all three Hunyuan Ancestor corpses?" Lord Ming Huang turned to Xingmang.

At the final moment, under his attack with the burning of his main combat clone, even as the Hunyuan Ancestors defended and retreated with all their might, He still managed to kill one.

"Don't worry, no one surpasses me in mastery over space-time. The instant you killed them, I moved their corpses to another timeline!" Lord Xingmang said with a smile.

Once an Hunyuan Ancestor died and lost all resistance, he could immediately claim the body.

"Fortunately, we concealed Luo Feng's breakthrough in advance, catching these Hunyuan Ancestors off guard and achieving such results!" Yuan also felt exhilarated and relieved.

The tide of the war had completely turned- hadn't they seen how the Hunyuan Ancestors had all retreated into the Chu Shi Hunyuan Ancestor's body, outright avoiding battle?

Remember, earlier in the war, the Hunyuan Ancestor faction had held the advantage. No matter how Lord Xingmang strategized, they couldn't overcome the absolute gap in strength. They could only watch as their territories fell one after another.

Now, everything had changed. The Hunyuan Ancestors had been forced to retreat.

"If we had revealed it earlier, given the innate Hunyuan lifeform faction's capabilities, they could have deduced much with a clear target. They might have sent reinforcements or temporarily withdrawn," Lord Xingmang said.

Luo Feng gazed at the distant colossal sphere and asked, "Is there really nothing we can do against this Chu Shi Hunyuan Ancestor? If the eight of us join forces, can we move him into one of the dangerous zones of the Infinite Hunyuan Space?"

"We truly have no way to deal with him!" Yuan nodded.

"In the entire Infinite Hunyuan Space, no one can do anything to him!" Lord Xingmang added.

Luo Feng had studied the intelligence on the Chu Shi Hunyuan Ancestor.

The records stated that the Chu Shi Hunyuan Ancestor represented the absolute pinnacle of defense in the Infinite Hunyuan Space- indestructible, immortal and immovable.

However, he move sluggishly and his attacks are also clumsy. The best strategy is to ignore him, treating him as if he didn't exist.

"His body is special," Lord Wu Lan said.

"In terms of toughness, his body is comparable to mine. But his body also possesses an inconceivable ability to perfectly dissipate force. Even if I attack with full power, 99% of the energy will be redirected and dispersed!"

Lord Jin added, "The remaining 1% of force would still have to contend with a body as tough as Wu Lan's!"

Luo Feng was shocked!

Lord Jin was one of the Lords with the strongest offensive capabilities among their ranks.

If even his attacks could be 99% negated, then other beings in the Infinite Hunyuan Space would be lucky to retain even a thousandth or ten-thousandth of their power when striking it.

"Where he stands, it's like a fixed point in space-time- unshakable, immovable," Lord Xingmang said.

"We can't even move him?" Luo Feng sighed.

Lord Wu Lan replied, "If the force were strong enough, it might be possible to shift him. But after our attacks are dispersed and weakened, only a thousandth of the power remains. Naturally, we can't budge him."

Luo Feng understood.

"Brother Luo Feng, you can give it a try!" Lord Ming Huang laughed.

"Feel free to slash at him- he won't fight back!"

"Even if he did, it wouldn't matter!" Lord Mo Man also chuckled.

Luo Feng knew that among all the Hunyuan Ancestors, the Chu Shi Hunyuan Ancestor's threat level ranked in the middle to lower levels. Compared to the Lords, it was far inferior.

Every Lord was on par with the highest-level Hunyuan Ancestors.

"Let's try!" Luo Feng was quite curious about the entity with the strongest defense in the Infinite Hunyuan Space.

He stared at the massive sphere ahead.

It was denser than even a Origin World, existing as a fixed point in space-time.

Just looking at it, Luo Feng could sense the profound mysteries of countless Daos within it- the mysteries of life, mysteries of matter, all perfectly unified. It was a miraculous existence in and of itself!

Luo Feng raised a hand, and the Void-Severing Blade appeared in his grip.

"Whoosh!"

The blade traversed space-time in an instant, carrying boundless power as it struck the colossal sphere.

Yet, the moment it made contact, Luo Feng felt as though his blade had slashed through empty air- there was no sense of impact at all!

Only a fraction of the force, guided by the lock on its life essence, barely transmitted a sliver of blade light onto the surface of the massive sphere.

But this was merely a thousandth of the blade's power. The sphere didn't even bear a scratch!

Lord Xingmang laughed.

"Luo Feng, the fact that you even managed to hit him...is already impressive!"

The colossal sphere suddenly emitted a deep, resonant voice:

"This Lord who just attacked... is he the eighth Lord of your practitioner faction? You practitioners have good fortune indeed- to produce a new Lord even in the midst of a war of extermination."

"Chu Shi, do you want to continue the war or end it?" Yuan looked at him. "If you want to continue, we will accompany you!"

Beside the sphere, four Clones suddenly materialized.

They were the Wuxian She Hunyuan Ancestor, the Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor, the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor, and the Yanhuo Hunyuan Ancestor- the core warmongers among the Nine Sovereigns of the innate Hunyuan lifeform faction!

"Do you really think adding one more Lord means you can win?" The Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor coiled in the void, its gaze fixed coldly on the eight Lords.

"The practitioner faction is nothing but our prey- you have no right to resist!"

"Your prey?" Lord Jin sneered.

"We Lords are immortal. It's you Hunyuan Ancestors who are our prey!"

"We hunt you down, turning each of you into resources for our cultivation. Let me count- up to now, we've killed twenty Hunyuan Ancestors, haven't we? And not a single Lord has fallen!"

"Yes, twenty Hunyuan Ancestors have perished," the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor said indifferently.

"But the threat of death has spurred the birth of thirty-two new Hunyuan Ancestors." Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor said calmly, "Those who died are the weak, and those who survived are the strong!"
