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

Luo Feng had created the Hunyuan Life-Death Dao.

Although his life form had yet to undergo a complete transformation, the Dao is already a part of his very existence- and he is already fundamentally different from before!

Through his own Dao, Luo Feng could sense a wave of space-time ripple approaching.

This wave of space-time ripple carried a sense of threat.

In the past, when facing Lord Xingmang, Luo Feng had not even been able to detect his aura.

But now, he could clearly sense the threat emanating from him- after all both of them are now existences of the same level.

"Luo Feng, you should know that in the past few epochs, over one-sixth of our practitioner faction's territory has been lost. Countless origin worlds and billions of ordinary worlds have been breached, and innumerable practitioners have been perished."

Lord Xingmang's voice continued, "Every one of us lords wants the innate Hunyuan Lifeform faction to pay a sufficient price!"

'How many lives were lost across that one-sixth of the territory? Even the lords couldn't count them all.'

"The seven of us lords are currently engaged in battle against the seventy-two Hunyuan Ancestors with our main combat clones."

Lord Xingmang transmitted his voice: "Right now, the outside world doesn't know about the birth of the eighth lord. You must keep it a secret."

"All of your clones outside the Origin Land can not break through! Because if they do, the innate Hunyuan Lifeform faction's Hunyuan Ancestors might detect it."

"The Origin Land is special- breaking through here ensures they won't notice!"

Lord Xingmang said, "The Origin Land is the final stronghold of our practitioner faction. The lords have spent countless efforts isolating it from all prying eyes!"

"I understand. I'll keep it hidden!" Luo Feng replied.

A hidden blade would make the Hunyuan Ancestors pay a bloody price!

If he were exposed, every single one of them would be on guard.

Luo Feng longed to strike these Hunyuan Ancestors with a devastating blow.

"Focus on your breakthrough first. We'll talk in detail afterwards!" Lord Xingmang ceased his interference.

Inside the quiet chamber, all of Luo Feng's clones dispersed as vast amounts of energy converged under the guidance of his spiritual will.

He also continuously devoured the endless torrent of energy supplied by the chamber!

The Origin Land's energy reserves were so immense that a single breath's worth could sustain a World-Class Hunyuan Perfect Life Form!

Luo Feng was absorbing the energy without restraint at this moment. Over ninety percent of the Origin Land's energy was prioritized for him, allowing him to consume as much as he needed!

After a moment, deep azure origin cores hovered within the chamber- numbering precisely one hundred and eight million!

These origin cores linked together like a grand star formation, functioning as one.

They were also the core of Luo Feng's physical body!

Boom-

The power of the Origin Land surged into the one hundred and eight million origin cores like a tangible flood!

Luo Feng channeled it endlessly, yet these origin cores seemed bottomless, absorbing without limit.

Simultaneously, countless veins began extending from these billions of origin cores- some deep azure, spreading to form flesh and blood; some crimson, integrating into every part of his body; some golden...

A massive figure of a black-robed, black-haired man was taking shape!

His skin, sinews, bones, and flesh were all permeated with countless blood-colored veins- an achievement derived from Luo Feng's comprehension of the Blood Scale aspect of the Star Tower.

The Star Tower's Blood Scale had influenced him too deeply.

Luo Feng understood that merely having powerful defensive scales on the surface was meaningless.

At the lord level, attacks disregarded the distinction between internal and external- and internal weaknesses would become fatal flaws.

Therefore, from his insights into the Star Tower's Blood Scale, Luo Feng perfected its mysteries and seamlessly integrated them with his own physical body system, creating these blood-colored veins!

These veins were essentially another form of blood scales, but they covered every inch of his body. This system also ensured Luo Feng's blood remained red.

According to the Hunyuan Life-Death Dao, his blood should have been deep azure. It was only due to the blood-colored vein system that the color of his blood, bones, and flesh changed. 

"My skin and sinews likely only have one-tenth the defensive power of the Star Tower's Blood Scale- far from indestructible. But every part of my body is equally resilient, leaving no weaknesses!"

His body continued expanding! 

"It is still within the range of my spiritual will consciousness system's control."

"Bigger, bigger, even bigger!"

Luo Feng absorbed energy unrestrainedly, converting it into his colossal physical form.

The chamber was so vast that he couldn't even stand- he could only sit cross-legged, nearly filling the entire space.

He had to compress his size, but in reality, his body was still growing!

At this moment, the seven lords of the Origin Land had been closely monitoring Luo Feng's breakthrough.

"He's still absorbing energy at the maximum limit!" Lord Jin couldn't help but exclaim.

"The energy his body has absorbed already surpasses mine!"

"His Hunyuan Life-Death Dao is life-oriented," Yuan said with a smile.

"It's predictable that his body will far surpass ours. Only Wu Lan can compare!"

"On par with Wu Lan?" Lord Ming Huang shook his head lightly. 

"But his body is too massive!"


Lord Wu Lan's body is nearly the size of an ordinary Origin World.

Most of the spaces within a typical Origin World are void, but Lord Wu Lan's body is an ultra-massive material form.

The very substance of his body is at the lord-level- indestructible and incomparably tough, far surpassing ordinary soil or rock found within Origin Worlds!

In the Infinite Hunyuan Space, a body like Lord Wu Lan's might sustain injuries, but even if all seventy-plus Hunyuan Ancestors besieged him, they could only restrain him.

But none of them would be willing to waste too much effort trying to destroy him!

In the Infinite Hunyuan Space, there are several existences with abnormal defensive capabilities! Some even surpass Lord Wu Lan- like the Hunyuan Ancestor-level being known as 'Primordial,' a perfectly spherical entity representing the absolute pinnacle of defensive Dao in the infinite Hunyuan Space!"

Of course, both Lord Wu Lan and Primordial Hunyuan Ancestor shared one weakness- their offensive capabilities were relatively lacking. Their methods were considered crude among peers, and many of their attacks couldn't even land on enemies!

"The energy he has absorbed... has already surpassed mine!" Lord Naigu spoke up.

"He has reached one-tenth of my total!" Lord Wu Lan remarked, watching from afar as Luo Feng's body swelled to near-Origin-World proportions.

The sheer energy required was staggering- even Lord Naigu, the second-largest among the seven lords, only had one-tenth of Lord Wu Lan's energy reserves!

Under the watchful eyes of the seven lords, Luo Feng continued absorbing energy like a bottomless abyss.

"He has reached 50% of my total energy reserves!" Lord Wu Lan exclaimed in shock.

"Hae has reached eighty percent now!" Lord Jin gasped. 

"How can he possibly take in this much?"

Yuan stared intently before finally muttering, "He has matched Wu Lan... and he's still going. He has already surpassed Wu Lan- by a significant margin!"

Lord Xingmang observed silently while Lord Ming Huang chuckled.

"Seems we've got another unkillable monster on our hands."

Previously, only Lord Wu Lan could boast of being impervious to enemy attacks. But judging by Luo Feng's energy absorption, it was clear he would be just as resilient!

"The stronger his survivability, the weaker his offensive capabilities must be," Lord Moman frowned.

The other lords nodded in agreement.

All of them wielded the Dao highest-level power of infinite Hunyuan Space, so the gaps between them are minimal.

Each lord had their specialties- Lord Wu Lan is terrifyingly durable, Lord Jin and Moman are monstrously lethal, while Yuan excelled in formations, amplifying the collective combat power of the seven lords several times over.

Yuan is the most crucial lord in large-scale battles.

"His path leans toward life," Yuan thought.

"Life-based Dao does have offensive attacks capable of killing enemies, but they're inherently inferior."

"Luo Feng follows the 'Breaking Through with Force' approach," Lord Xingmang said with a smile.

"He's still unrefined now, but he'll compensate for that weakness in time." 

The other lords also agreed.

The 'Breaking Through with Force' path did hold greater potential. 

"Once he breaks through, we'll assess his methods in detail and decide how to co-operate with him," Yuan concluded.

"The sheer amount of energy he has absorbed is absurd," Lord Jin couldn't help but shake his head.

Among the lords, his own energy reserves were nearly the smallest- only Lord Moman had less energy reserves than him.

"Finally stopping... at over three times my total energy reserves?" Lord Wu Lan himself was astonished.

"With that much energy reserves, even if enemies tried to exhaust him, it'd be nearly impossible," Lord Moman sighed. 

"If only I had even a tenth of his energy reserves..."

As the lord with the least energy reserves- barely one-thirtieth of Lord Wu Lan's and roughly one percent of Luo Feng's!

From another perspective, Lord Moman's offensive prowess was conversely terrifying. None of the Hunyuan Ancestors could escape his techniques.

Inside the cultivation chamber of the cave!

A black-robed, black-haired man returned to normal size. Around him, a terrifying domain naturally unfurled.

Just as a Origin World's core governed its supreme laws, Luo Feng's body- now even more formidable than a Origin World's origin core- radiated a life-death operational system that influenced the surrounding space.

Within the vast range of his combat clone's presence, World-Class Hunyuan life forms would perish under this system's influence.

"Finally... fully absorbed." Luo Feng felt the 108 million origin cores within him reach their limit, filling him with a profound sense of fulfillment.

Though his physical form was massive, it had long since reached its growth limit. Only the 108 million origin cores, capable of storing such vast energy, allowed him to absorb to this extent.

"My body may be enormous, but the energy contained within the 108 million origin cores is ten times that of my physical form." 

Luo Feng could easily sense the staggering energy density within those billions of origin cores.

"If I were to fully manifest my body, it'd be one-third the size of my home Origin World." 

With every part of his flesh as durable as one-tenth of the Star Tower's Blood Scale, his sheer physical dominance was unimaginable.

Every movement carried boundless power.

"A complete breakthrough!"

Only now, with his life form fully evolved, did he truly wield the power of a lord.

Luo Feng sensed that in his current state, a mere breath could reduce a World-Class Hunyuan lifeform to dust.

"Luo Feng, these are the Dao insights of us seven lords, along with all the intelligence we've gathered on Hunyuan Ancestor-level existences in the Infinite Hunyuan Space. Study them, then focus on creating combat techniques suited to you," Lord Xingmang's voice resonated.

A stream of information flowed into Luo Feng's mind, which he absorbed instantly.

Luo Feng felt pressured as he had just ascended as a lord, and he would soon be thrust onto the battlefield- against over seventy Hunyuan Ancestors.

The pressure was undeniable.
