"I actually encountered God Emperor Ji Ke, the Lunatic!"

God Emperor Chanfu felt utterly stifled.

When he faced Luo Feng earlier, Luo Feng said that God Emperor Chanfu had freedom to trade! Seeking fortune amid danger- since he couldn't "freely" obtain a cause and effect favour, he decided to sell it at a high price.

Unfortunately, he gambled and lost. Worse still, he then ran into the madman, God Emperor Ji Ke!

God Emperor Ji Ke acts without scruples, utterly mad and unpredictable!

Apart from infamous atrocities like the "Great Massacre", he did whatever he pleased. God Emperor Chanfu knew well: even a hint of resistance would result in God Emperor Ji Ke crushing him without hesitation.

Though the cities had rules against slaughter, these are self-imposed by the practitioners themselves, not decreed by the senior yuan and others.

Whether it is the 3,500 cities in the Nine Rivers Holy Realm or the five cities in the Dark Holy Realm, management is left to the practitioners themselves.

Thus, even when top existences broke the rules, no one dared to speak up.

Luo Feng had only spoken a single sentence, yet it had scared the God Emperor Mixu and fifteen others into obediently paying 7.5 trillion Hunyuan Crystals.

When God Emperor Ji Ke took action, God Emperor Chanfu didn't even dare think of resisting!

"This God Emperor Chanfu is a complete joke! He tried to sell it at a high price, but instead he got robbed by God Emperor Ji Ke! Hahaha..."

"Serves him right for being so greedy!"

Surrounding practitioners buzzed with chatter, treating God Emperor Chanfu as a laughingstock.

God Emperor Chanfu stood emotionless.

Though humiliated, he refused to miss God Emperor Luo Feng's public sermon opportunity.

He too is a Semi-Hunyuan-level Dao Enlightened practitioner!

"This public sermon is a rare chance. Maybe I can break free from this cage!" Ignoring the mockery, he waited patiently.

Every semi-hunyuan-level being dreamed of escaping the "cage".

"Greetings, God Emperor Luo Feng," said Longjiu Daojun and God Emperor Ji Ke, stepping forward to pay respects.

At this moment, God Emperor Ji Ke no longer seemed insane. His hair and robes were neat, and his aura was calm and restrained.

Even while refining his "world-class Hunyuan bloodline", he remained clear-headed.

Usually, he chose to act wildly to vent his inner turmoil, sometimes by massacring groups of low-level Hunyuan beings.

After all, it is better to vent than to suppress- releasing some pressure helped him maintain stability.

"Please, have a seat both of you!" Luo Feng said politely.

These peak existences each had extraordinary strengths compared to other peak level existences.

"God Emperor Luo Feng, here's a life-and-death type secret treasure I stumbled upon. A small gift for our first meeting," said God Emperor Ji Ke, flipping his hand and sending a golden bone staff flying toward God Emperor Luo Feng.

Luo Feng immediately recognized it- the secret treasure from before!

"Don't mind it, God Emperor Luo Feng," God Emperor Ji Ke smiled. "In the Dark Holy Realm, fighting and plundering are common. I took this treasure from God Emperor Chanfu- this is our cause and effect. Given my status, taking just one treasure is already his blessing!"

Luo Feng smiled as he accepted the golden bone staff.

"God Emperor Ji Ke is truly straightforward in his actions!"

"In the past, the Hunyuan lifeforms of bloodline path acted even more crazily," God Emperor Ji Ke sighed. "Choosing to refine a bloodline means aligning one's nature with it."

"The bloodline path is not an easy one," Longjiu Daojun added.

Having chosen this path, God Emperor Ji Ke had no regrets.

He looked at Luo Feng.

"God Emperor Luo Feng, can we spar? I wish to see the true strength of an invincible Realm existence. Maybe it will help me tap into more of my bloodline's potential!"

"Fighting to tap into bloodline power?" Luo Feng understood and laughed.

"Alright, I'll spar with you!"

Longjiu Daojun, Boxiu, Bai Yin, and Chi Zheng watched with great interest.

Both of them are extraordinary- one cultivated a world-class Hunyuan bloodline.

The other is already an invincible Realm existence!

Not far away, Luo Feng and God Emperor Ji Ke stood face-to-face.

"Brother Luo Feng, please control your strength- don't destroy our cave dwellings!" Boxiu joked.

This is their shared residence; it couldn't withstand their full power.

"Rest assured," Luo Feng smiled.

In an instant, an endless ocean materialized, covering half the courtyard and enveloping God Emperor Ji Ke within it!

The surging seawater wrapped around God Emperor Ji Ke like layers of eggshells, preventing any power from leaking out.

"Huh?" Longjiu Daojun was shocked.

"God Emperor Luo Feng is truly terrifying."
Longjiu Daojun had been somewhat proud- he had already broken free from the cage through spiritual will, and is considered an invincible Realm existence, and he is also the master of an Origin World.

So naturally, he felt a sense of superiority when dealing with Luo Feng and God Emperor Ji Ke.

"This blood-colored sea's power looks restrained, but I can feel it... it's at least a hundred times stronger than mine!"

Even if I use my spiritual will to suppress God Emperor Luo Feng's strength to just 20-30%, God Emperor Luo Feng could still easily destroy me!

"How can he be so strong?"

"How could someone be this terrifying under the cage's suppression?" Longjiu Daojun found it hard to believe.

"God Emperor Luo Feng is truly incredible."

"Hahaha! Please receive my move!"

God Emperor Ji Ke truly felt the ocean's terrifying power. It made him feel despair- he couldn't even fight back!

The gap between both of them was too great. Yet the more desperate he felt, the more frenzied God Emperor Ji Ke became.

He no longer suppressed his bloodline will; instead, he merged completely with it- Merge into one, unleash full power!

The God Emperor Jike fought bare-handed, causing endless ocean waters to explode continuously!

"Rumble!"

In the midst of battle, God Emperor Jike waved his right arm, transforming it into a magnificent multicolored serpent.

The serpent churned the waters into violent surges, and its might was enough to destroy the heavens and the earth!

With a stomp, he transformed into a massive celestial pillar that suppressed the four directions. Every move of his was terrifyingly powerful!

"God Emperor Jike is only displaying a fraction of the power from his 'World-class Hunyuan Bloodline,' showing just a few characteristics!" Luo Feng clearly understood that God Emperor Jike had not yet fully tapped into the potential of his bloodline.

If he could dig deeper, even if he utilized only a small part of the "World-class Hunyuan Bloodline," God Emperor Ji ke could break free from the cage and become a high-level Hunyuan lifeform!

"Too weak, far too weak!"

"Or rather- I'm just too strong!" Luo Feng thought silently.

His massive body, capable of storing 1.2 billion times energy, even though he could currently only perfectly control 120 million times energy, his strength has still reached a higher level compared to when he fought God Emperor Mixu and others.

The burst of strength from harnessing this body with 1.2 billion times energy did not hinder his explosive strength; compared to his peak when fighting God Emperor Mixu, his level had risen by another one or two major levels! Yet he was still trapped within the cage!

Luo Feng sighed.

No matter how many lifeforms exists within the cage, in front of a high-level Hunyuan lifeform, they are nothing but ants!

"Rumble!"

While contemplating, Luo Feng casually suppressed God Emperor Ji ke!

God Emperor Ji ke erupted madly, but no matter how much he struggled, he could not shake the endless blood sea; the gap between them was simply too vast.

In the end, God Emperor Ji ke returned to his normal form, with his aura completely restrained.

"That was a satisfying fight!" God Emperor Ji ke smiled as he reined in his aura.

"But compared to God Emperor Luo Feng, the gap is simply too large. I'm no match for him!"

At a thought from Luo Feng, the endless blood sea receded, and not a single flower or blade of grass in the garden was harmed!

"Unfathomable strength is the mark of the invincible Realm!" Longjiu Daojun exclaimed.

At this moment, he also understood that Invincible Realm has three levels:

The first is breaking free from the cage with spiritual will;

The second is thoroughly excavating the World-class Hunyuan Bloodline;

The third is the fusion path of Semi-Hunyuan-level.

Merely breaking free with spiritual will is the most common and weakest among the three invincible Realm levels!

"Luo Feng, he isn't cultivating a bloodline? He's walking the fusion path?" Longjiu Daojun guessed.

"But why hasn't he been guided yet?"

Luo Feng, Longjiu Daojun, God Emperor Ji ke, Boxiu, Bai Yin, and Chi Zheng all sat down.

"God Emperor Luo Feng, can you tell me!" God Emperor Ji ke directly asked, "I have refined the World-class Hunyuan Bloodline into my body but can only excavate a very small part of its potential and cannot break free from the cage! I wonder if you have any methods?"

"Does the Hunyuan Bloodline must first be refined into the body, and then the potential excavated?" Luo Feng countered.

"Can't one first carefully study the mysteries hidden within the Hunyuan Bloodline, understand its essence, and then refine it?"

Boxiu and the others listened attentively. It was very difficult for them to break free from the cage; if the bloodline path could help them achieve this, they would naturally want to try!

God Emperor Ji ke nodded and said, "The bloodline path is roughly divides into two major types: one is refining the bloodline into the body and then excavating its potential; this is what innate Hunyuan lifeforms do! The second is as you said, studying the mysteries within the Hunyuan Bloodline first, understanding its essence, and then refining it."

He continued, "But the second type is extremely difficult! Even with treasures from the Large Hunyuan Hall that reveal all mysteries of a high-level Hunyuan Bloodline, understanding it thoroughly is extremely hard!"

"Indeed its very hard!" Longjiu Daojun added.

"A high-level Hunyuan Bloodline may contain the mysteries of over a dozen Dao origins! Yet how many do we understand? How many can we comprehend?"

Luo Feng nodded in understanding.

Indeed, innate Hunyuan lifeforms are nurtured by the infinite Hunyuan space, and thus their bloodlines naturally contain multiple "Dao" origins.

For example, the blood scales of the Star Tower; Luo Feng had observed that 43% were life-type secret patterns, 9.2% were destruction-type secret patterns, and the rest belonged to many other types.

Even with Luo Feng's deep accumulations in life and destruction, he could only deeply study about 43% of the blood scales; there were many domains he was simply not adept at.

"I am proficient in 'Boundless' and 'Life' Dao, but only at the Semi-Hunyuan level!" God Emperor Ji ke shook his head.

"I found the most suitable bloodline: 50% life, 30% boundless. But many mysteries can only be understood after breaking free from the cage. I can only grasp a part!"

It was known that to completely refine a Hunyuan Bloodline, one must comprehend 70% of it!

God Emperor Ji ke looked at Luo Feng.

"Comprehending 70% is no easy feat; even for a high-level Hunyuan Bloodline, I can't achieve 70%!"

"Thus, the path of bloodline comprehension is too profound, and my talent is far from enough! So, excavating bloodline potential is the more suitable path for me!" God Emperor Ji ke said.

Longjiu Daojun added, "From what I know, those who break free through bloodlines mostly rely on excavating bloodline potential! Comprehending bloodline essence is one in ten thousand!"

Luo Feng gave a small nod.

With a low-level Hunyuan Bloodline, he could fully comprehend life and destruction mysteries.

But with high-level Hunyuan Bloodlines, it became much harder!

However, Luo Feng had already comprehended over 70% of three high-level Hunyuan Bloodlines!

They were: "Heavenly Fire Shadow," "Nether Prison Calamity Beast," and "Calamity Beast."

Heavenly Fire Shadow contained about 50% life and 30% destruction. Since Luo Feng had deep mastery in life and destruction, he had comprehended over 70% of it, confident in using it to become a high-level Hunyuan lifeform!

Nether Prison Calamity Beast had 40% life and 40% destruction, another focus of Luo Feng's comprehension, and he had also understood over 70%.

The Nine headed Calamity Beast, seen on Origin Continent, focused primarily on destruction (over 50%) and life (about 30%).

Luo Feng's comprehension of this Hunyuan Bloodline had also exceeded 70%!

"If I want, I can become a high-level Hunyuan lifeform at any time! I could even merge all three bloodlines into my body and fully excavate their potential!"

Luo Feng even felt that these three high-level Hunyuan Bloodlines were powerful among their levels. If he could merge and excavate all their potential, he might directly reach the limits of high-level Hunyuan lifeforms!

Perhaps even have a chance to break the limit and advance to the World-class Hunyuan lifeform level!

"But I've heard that the bloodline route leaves many hidden dangers!" Luo Feng thought.

Though he didn't know much, this was already a well-known fact in the cultivation world.

While the bloodline path had high upper limits, its hidden dangers were endless.

Thus, the path of Dao comprehension remained the best choice!
