Chapter 139: Shenwang-Level Mo Luo Sa

During normal cultivation, one occasionally enters an exceptional state, with a sudden flash of insight.

After consuming the Hunyuan Jingling Fruit, its flesh nourishes the soul, allowing Luo Feng to maintain this near-perfect state continuously, greatly enhancing his comprehension and accelerating his thoughts by twenty to thirty times.

Luo Feng began using materials from the golden-scaled beetle and perfect Chaotic-layer organisms to analyze and study them.

"If I fully master the Life Spirit lineage and the Life Body lineage, I can effortlessly uncover the Triune Form."

"But the accumulated foundation from merely reaching the peak of the Chaotic Realm is clearly insufficient."

Luo Feng understood this—he could only study slowly.

The process of study was also a process of accumulation.

"Perhaps I will become a Shenwang first."

Luo Feng had a feeling that comprehending the Triune Form was no less difficult than mastering an entire complete branch of the Dao.

……

In the Origin Continent, within the special space of the Source Realm.

Luo Feng's divine force avatar was also confronting the complete Life Source Dao.

"Life Spirit, Life Body." Luo Feng observed carefully; the complete Life Source Dao appeared differently depending on the perspective.

Sometimes like a twenty-four-clawed winding dragon, sometimes an eternal river piercing through time and space, sometimes an infinite majestic divine body, sometimes the origin of all life, sometimes the very concept of life…

As Luo Feng observed, his spiritual will was continuously purified by the entire Life Source Dao, drawing him ever closer to the Dao.

"Triune Form?" Luo Feng murmured, recalling the detailed records from the "Life Body Chapter" of the First Catastrophe in the Eight Catastrophes Life Body scripture.

It felt within reach, yet just slightly out of grasp.

Cultivation was like this—many peak Chaotic Realm cultivators, even those who had transcended the Chaotic Realm, remained stuck at the bottleneck, unable to master a complete branch of the Dao.

In another layer of the Star Tower, this was Mo Luo Sa's exclusive cultivation space.

Since absorbing the golden-scaled beetle's corpse, Mo Luo Sa had been silently cultivating here, fully devoted to digesting it.

At this moment, Mo Luo Sa had long since reverted to his true form—a tall, fair-skinned lifeform of breathtaking beauty, his very appearance naturally alluring; he was the favored child of the Destruction Dao, and his Jie beast power was no longer concealed.

This was his most authentic state.

"Hum."

Mo Luo Sa's aura suddenly trembled; a terrifying fluctuation erupted from within his "Jie," spreading outward. His body naturally began to transform, ascending from the Chaotic Realm to a higher life tier.

"I've broken through." Mo Luo Sa opened his eyes, filled with excitement. "Breaking from the Chaotic Realm into Shenwang—this is a fundamental transformation."

"My Jie has also taken on the preliminary form of its final state," Mo Luo Sa said, deeply moved.

The core of a Jie beast lies within its "Jie."

Each leap in life tier triggers a transformation of the Jie; becoming a Shenwang is the final transformation.

From Shenwang First Layer to Shenwang Ultimate Layer (Shenwang Third Layer), the Jie merely undergoes continuous refinement until perfection.

"After sixty cycles on the Origin Continent, I've reached Shenwang level—much faster than I expected. It all stems from this golden-scaled beetle corpse." Mo Luo Sa was well aware of this. "This single golden-scaled beetle corpse is worth the effect of a thousand ordinary Chaotic Realm corpses."

If he relied solely on slowly absorbing heavenly energy, becoming a Shenwang would take far too long.

Suddenly—

A figure appeared beside him: Luo Feng. Whether through soul enslavement perception or sensing within the Star Tower, Luo Feng detected Mo Luo Sa's transformation instantly.

"You broke through?" Luo Feng looked at Mo Luo Sa, who had reverted to a simple, earnest appearance, yet his aura was now terrifyingly potent.

"Master, I've become a Shenwang," Mo Luo Sa grinned. "It's all thanks to the golden-scaled beetle corpse you gave me."

Luo Feng nodded slightly—it had been bestowed by his Master Di Chu; he had kept only one percent of the material, giving the rest to Mo Luo Sa.

"The effect is indeed excellent," Luo Feng said, satisfied. He struggled endlessly to cultivate and comprehend the Dao, while Mo Luo Sa had simply rested and now led the way as the first Shenwang.

Mo Luo Sa was delighted and added, "Master, now that I've become a Shenwang, my Jie has taken on the preliminary form of its final state—and I've gained many powerful abilities."

"Oh?" Luo Feng looked at him.

"Even without revealing my Jie beast identity, I can now wield numerous techniques," Mo Luo Sa said confidently. "For example, using my Jie, I can cast a curse-killing technique: once I've seen an enemy, I can curse them to death."

"Curse-killing?" Luo Feng was internally startled.

He himself cultivated the Destruction Source Dao and knew well its many destructive methods.

For instance, the "Black Heaven" lineage of the Destruction Source Dao excelled in assassination and curse-killing.

"Most Shenwang First Layer cultivators probably can't resist my curse-killing technique," Mo Luo Sa boasted. "Under my curse, I can eliminate all their incarnations and survival methods, forcing them to reincarnate."

Luo Feng was deeply startled.

Forcing most Shenwang First Layer cultivators to reincarnate?

"Besides covert curse-killing, I can also strike openly—my incarnations can transform endlessly and conceal my aura," Mo Luo Sa said confidently. "I can stir up chaos on the Origin Continent, strike from the shadows, and no enemy will detect my identity."

"Master, should I act?" Mo Luo Sa was eager—he had been suppressed too long. "With my curse-killing technique, my enemies won't even know who killed them."

Luo Feng smiled. "Wait." Mo Luo Sa stared in disbelief.

Still wait?

"Your incarnations can transform endlessly? Your curse-killing leaves no trace?" Luo Feng shook his head. "No matter what, you're still only Shenwang First Layer. There are far stronger beings on the Origin Continent—especially the methods of the Two Ancient Kingdoms. How much do you truly know?"

"Tracing cause and effect! Tracing past spacetime trajectories… Do you really think you can hide?"

Luo Feng shook his head. "On the Origin Continent, there are only seventy-one Chaotic Realm Transcendents! Though there are more ancient beings, the total is still limited."

"To us, those ancient beings are mysterious. But to the Two Ancient Kingdoms… they've likely already uncovered every detail. Those capable of curse-killing Shenwang First Layer into reincarnation—there are probably only a handful on the entire Origin Continent."

Luo Feng looked at Mo Luo Sa. "Don't harbor illusions."

"Any risk invites discovery," Luo Feng said calmly. "We've only been on the Origin Continent for sixty cycles—why the rush?"

"Oh."

Scolded by his master, Mo Luo Sa could only listen obediently.

Through soul enslavement, Luo Feng sensed Mo Luo Sa's innate destructive desire—and it was precisely because soul enslavement suppressed this desire at the soul level that Mo Luo Sa remained so docile.

"Not now, and not even when you become a Peak Jie beast in the future—any action requires my permission," Luo Feng said, staring at him.

!.

"Understood," Mo Luo Sa replied obediently. "Master, I was just overconfident after my power surged. I'm fully awake now."

"Good. Show me the Destruction Source Dao you've mastered," Luo Feng ordered.

"Yes."

Mo Luo Sa began to display the Destruction Source Dao he had comprehended.

Boom~~~

In a daze, Luo Feng saw an infinite, dark black hole, its edges swirling with countless solidified mystery patterns, naturally revealing vast information about the Destruction Source Dao.

"You—you…" Luo Feng was utterly astonished. To other cultivators, the countless mystery patterns were incomprehensible—but Luo Feng could extract multiple insights from them.

"All six branches of the Destruction Source Dao? You've mastered them all?" Luo Feng couldn't believe it.

He had long known that Mo Luo Sa's natural growth meant all six branches of the Destruction Source Dao advanced in tandem.

But normal cultivators, upon becoming Shenwang, rely on only one branch.

After all, comprehension varies in speed.

"Yes," Mo Luo Sa said. "I simply digested the golden-scaled beetle corpse, and my Jie grew naturally. When my Jie transformed, I naturally comprehended all six complete branches."

Luo Feng fell silent.

He hadn't mastered even one branch, and his comprehension was agonizingly slow. Mo Luo Sa had instantly mastered all six.

"I can feel that mastering all six branches isn't difficult," Mo Luo Sa said. "It's just the foundation! The real challenge comes next—gradually fusing the six branches together. Then I'll need more food, or progress will be painfully slow."

Mo Luo Sa looked at Luo Feng.

Since his master forbade him from acting, he could only rely on his master to feed him.

"Mastering all six branches at once." Luo Feng had no words.

Even the creators of the Eight Catastrophes Life Body and the Seven-Twelve Slash Sword Art believed that during the Chaotic Realm stage, it was best to focus on only two or three branches.

Expand gradually after becoming a Shenwang.

"No more thinking about it," Luo Feng decided—he refused to judge a Jie beast's growth through a cultivator's lens. After all, Mo Luo Sa was destined to reach Shenwang Ultimate Layer.

Luo Feng carefully observed the immense dark black hole before him.

This colossal black hole filled over half of this Star Tower layer. The six branches of Destruction formed its six foundational pillars—mutually reinforcing one another.

Though fusion had not yet begun, their mere synergy made the black hole's operation extraordinarily perfect.

"Too perfect," Luo Feng thought, awestruck.

A normal Shenwang, with just one complete branch of the Dao, can form the cosmic operational laws—and even create a universe.

But this Jie, formed by the perfect synergy of six branches, was so exquisitely complete that Luo Feng was stunned.

"This must be how Mo Luo Sa's Jie operates…" Luo Feng observed. "Compared to it, both the Triune Form and the Tenfold World Form seem crude."

The Triune Form, as Luo Feng knew, had two versions: one where a single large particle contained two inner particles of yin and yang, and another where three particles held equal status and merged. Both were crude, small-world forms.

The Tenfold World Form was a more refined small-world structure.

But this Jie, built from six branches, was overwhelmingly awe-inspiring.

"Six branches as pillars forming a Jie…" In this awe, Luo Feng's understanding of the Jie soared, and his perception of the Triune Form's "crude small-world structure" became far clearer.

Di Chu was right: studying deeper life-world forms first, then returning to simpler ones, yields excellent results.

Luo Feng consumed the Hunyuan Jingling Fruit, studied the foundational Jie of Jie beast life and the Jie formed by the six Destruction branches, and then re-examined the Triune Form—many of his confusions dissolved instantly.
