Chapter 142: Unfathomable Power

Vast and boundless darkness stretched over hundreds of millions of kilometers; this dark world pulsed with cosmic laws, its core standing at the center—the figure of Luo Feng.

"A physical form that influences heaven and earth, forcing the supreme rules to retreat?" Yan Su watched this scene, his heart trembling, "This is the realm of the cosmic physical body—his body is like a complete universe. Even a God-King… few reach such a state. Two Worlds Palace, Two Worlds Palace, you've doomed me!"

He didn't care about offending a Chaos-level transcendental.

Under normal circumstances, a Chaos-level transcendental finding further advancement was unimaginably difficult.

Who could have imagined that less than half a cycle had passed since Luohe's arrival, and his power had undergone a qualitative transformation!

"He's broken through." Biyun Dasheng, merged with the cosmos, was secretly stunned—"This entire dark world revolves around him alone; he holds up an entire world by his own strength."

At this moment, Biyun Dasheng, Yan Su, Huangfeng City Lord, and Yuanxiu Mansion Lord all felt immense pressure.

"Gentlemen."

Luo Feng stood there, his gaze sweeping the surroundings. "The Blood Spirit Gold Pearls all belong to me. Do any of you object?"

"All of them to you?" The gray shadow Yan Su murmured from afar, "None of us four got even one—you claim them all?"

Yan Su knew he had already angered this Luohe; he could only try to rally other Chaos-level transcendental beings. Only with multiple Chaos-level transcendental beings working together could they stand a chance against this Luohe.

"All of them to you?" A figure of a woman in green robes appeared midair; her presence radiated endless sharpness, as if ready to tear heaven and earth apart. She stared at Luo Feng. "Luohe Brother, to claim them all for yourself is rather presumptuous."

"Hmph."

Huangfeng City Lord let out a furious snort; the air gushing from his nostrils unleashed terrifying currents. He glared at Luo Feng. "No matter what, you're still just a Chaos-level transcendental! You think you can overpower all four of us with your own strength? Let's see just how strong you, Luohe, really are!"

A God-King of the First Layer, mastering multiple Dao branches, and further refining the Primordial Bloodline or Primordial Secret Art to its most terrifying level—this was indeed inconceivable, capable of clashing with a God-King of the Second Layer.

But the upper limit of a Chaos-level transcendental was far lower, since none of them had mastered Dao branches. Biyun Dasheng, Yan Su, and Huangfeng City Lord were unwilling to give up easily.

"I have no objections," said Yuanxiu Mansion Lord from afar with a smile. "Congratulations on your breakthrough, Luohe Brother. I have no interest in competing for these Blood Spirit Gold Pearls. Could you please send me out first?"

They were just a few pearls—not worth dying over. If he got dragged into battle and his true body perished, the loss would be catastrophic.

His inner Dark Mansion had been infused with numerous Primordial materials to reach its current state.

"Yuanxiu, you're this cowardly?" Yan Su sneered. "Don't we four stand a chance if we unite?"

"I'm not you—you have many avatars; losing a few doesn't matter," said Yuanxiu Mansion Lord.

"Yuanxiu's useless here. Ignore him," said Huangfeng City Lord.

Biyun Dasheng watched this scene and understood Yuanxiu.

The three of them dared to stay because they had their advantages. Yuanxiu was comparatively weaker.

"I'll send Yuanxiu Brother out first." Luo Feng had no conflict with Yuanxiu, and since the Mansion Lord had voluntarily stepped back, Luo Feng naturally activated the dark world's power to envelop Yuanxiu Mansion Lord and send him away.

Whoosh.

Yuanxiu Mansion Lord was teleported to the very edge of the dark world, touched the world's membrane, and vanished completely.

…

Yuanxiu Mansion Lord stood outside, gazing at the immense dark world.

"Biyun Dasheng and Huangfeng City Lord are both among the strongest Chaos-level transcendental beings. Yan Su's survival ability is especially remarkable," Yuanxiu Mansion Lord shook his head. "But I can't afford to die."

One death meant he'd have to repurchase and re-infuse Primordial materials into his Dark Mansion.

"The most direct way for me to strengthen is to become a God-King. Mastering Dao branches will naturally transform my Dark Mansion," Yuanxiu Mansion Lord thought. He had spent eons accumulating, yet breaking through to become a God-King remained exceedingly difficult.

Every Chaos-level transcendental longed to become a God-King.

"I'll just watch," Yuanxiu Mansion Lord said, stopping his thoughts.

Within the vast dark world, the three Chaos-level transcendental beings stood at different positions, observing Luo Feng. Since his breakthrough, Luo Feng had never fully revealed his power; the outside world knew nothing of him.

"Since you all wish to compete for the Blood Spirit Gold Pearls, we must settle it in battle," Luo Feng smiled.

Boom!

From Luo Feng's center, a vast, surging black river spread outward, engulfing heaven and earth.

Black rivers also flowed from the dark world's membrane, while the entire dark world began to contract. Earlier, Luo Feng had displayed this vast dark world to trap his enemies.

"Luohe Brother, what is the name of this world?" asked Biyun Dasheng, still in her green robes, curiously.

Luo Feng smiled. "Black River World."

"Black River?"

Biyun Dasheng gazed at the surging black river, nodding calmly. "The Black River surges—truly formidable."

A torrent of black river instantly submerged Biyun Dasheng; she vanished. Her visible form was merely a manifestation of power—her true body had always been merged into the cosmos.

Whoosh!

A terrifying sharpness split heaven and earth, cleaving the rolling black river—but cut the water, and it flowed again; the Black River naturally recombined and surged once more.

Repeated bursts of terrifying sharpness struck again and again, powerfully severing portions of the river. Yet more black water spread, rendering Biyun Dasheng's techniques powerless.

"My Cutting Heaven Sword Art can't even shake him?" Biyun Dasheng was stunned.

She had entered the Primordial Secret Art "Cutting Heaven Sword Art," and her master, Emperor Qing, had personally forged for her a God-King-grade weapon—the "Cutting Heaven Sword." With this perfect weapon, her offensive power was even more terrifying. Yet now, her peerless Cutting Heaven Sword Art repeatedly severed black river currents—but the severed portions were but a tiny fraction of the endless Black River.

"I've unleashed my full power, striking thirteen times in succession, consuming thirty percent of my divine energy reserves. Yet the Black River's power hasn't diminished? In direct combat, among Chaos-level transcendental beings, he must be the strongest."

"Kill, kill, kill!" Huangfeng City Lord brandished twin spears, his aura surging as he charged toward Luo Feng's true body.

But endless black rivers rolled over him, drowning him. He was as if trapped in quicksand, surrounded by black rivers. Each wave struck, forcing him to stagger backward—he couldn't get closer to Luo Feng, even retreating further.

Boom boom boom~~~

The Black River surged, its waves engulfing Huangfeng City Lord, leaving him helpless.

"How can he be this strong?" Huangfeng City Lord couldn't believe it. "Can a Chaos-level transcendental be this powerful?"

"I—" The gray shadow Yan Su was utterly stunned. The Black River had already engulfed every corner, including him, and with overwhelming force, instantly shattered this avatar.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

All of Yan Su's hidden ordinary avatars were annihilated, leaving only one powerful avatar capable of absorbing most of the Black River's force, barely preserving his life.

"There's no way to fight—the gap is too great." This powerful avatar of Yan Su's body turned ethereal, dissipating most of the impact, constantly shifting to evade the Black River's strikes.

When Luo Feng controlled billions of Black Rivers, he could only use the most basic techniques—impact, strike, sweep. Yet even these simplest moves, when unleashed by endless Black Rivers, left these Chaos-level transcendental beings powerless.

!.

"Biyun Dasheng is impressive—she actually destroyed three of my Black Rivers?" Luo Feng was slightly surprised, but immediately recreated three new Black Rivers within the Star Tower.

"Biyun Dasheng's offensive power is terrifying, yet her physical body seems weak—she's already consumed a lot of divine energy after just a brief exchange?" Luo Feng observed.

Biyun Dasheng: terrifying offense, superb evasion, but her body was too frail.

Huangfeng City Lord relied entirely on his physical body's power; his attacks were weaker, but his body was immensely stronger. Luo Feng's rolling Black River swept over him, yet inflicted not a single scratch.

As for Yan Su? His avatar technique was merely unusual—his strength was far inferior to the other two.

"Die!"

Luo Feng turned toward Yan Su far away; countless Black Rivers transformed into blades, and thirty thousand blade lights erupted simultaneously, all wielding Luo Feng's simplified technique: "Blade River Slash."

With Luo Feng's mastery of the Sky-Cleaving Line and Dark Heaven Line both reaching Chaos-level peak, and years of deep contemplation of the first volume of "Severing the Seventy-Two Blades," his blade art was naturally supreme.

Thirty thousand blade lights wielding "Blade River Slash" were not his limit.

While the rolling Black River swept over the other two enemies, thirty thousand blade lights pursued Yan Su. Where the thirty thousand black blade lights swept, all layers of space were annihilated—even the membrane of the Cage World showed faint cracks, beyond which lay great terror.

"This—"

Yan Su saw the Cage World's membrane cracking with dozens of fine fissures; his heart trembled.

These were cracks in the Cage World!

Under such power, unless one achieved ultimate etherealization and merged with the world's membrane, there was no escape!

"Two Worlds Palace, you've truly doomed me!" Yan Su's heart ached. The thirty thousand blade lights annihilated him; even with his etherealization ability, which reduced seven or eight tenths of the power, his body was still utterly erased, leaving not a trace.

"World confinement, Black River domain… and thirty thousand blade lights can even crack the Cage World's seams?" Biyun Dasheng saw this and lost all will to fight. "Among Chaos-level transcendental beings of the Origin Continent, Luohe is number one!"

Those Chaos-level transcendental beings ranked above Biyun Dasheng were even stronger, each uniquely extraordinary—some had mastered Primordial Time Dao Secret Arts, others had entered the "Infinite Primordial Body."

But none possessed Luohe's terrifying pressure—his world, his domain, his attacks… even his physical body forced the supreme rules to retreat.

"This opponent has no flaw—there's no way to fight him."

Hum!

Biyun Dasheng instantly merged into her God-King weapon, the "Cutting Heaven Sword," unleashing a desperate strike. The first blade of infinite sharpness pierced the dark world's membrane, forcibly carving a hole.

This blade-light escaped through the opening in an instant.

Luo Feng watched this scene.

"My dark world's membrane can't hold Biyun," Luo Feng wasn't surprised—the world's membrane was vast and dispersed, while her power was condensed into a single point. Truly trapping an enemy was extremely difficult.

Even Yuanxiu Mansion Lord's Dark Prison could only temporarily imprison an enemy—eventually, the enemy would break free.

Holding them for a few breaths was already hard enough.

"Yan Su is too weak—he can't break through my dark world." Luo Feng turned to Huangfeng City Lord, still raging within the rolling black river. "Huangfeng City Lord's body is strong, but he's too foolish. Swept up by the Black River, he can't even reach the edge of my world."

Beneath the rolling Black River, Huangfeng City Lord could barely move.

Even now, he had not touched the world's edge, nor could he reach Luo Feng's true body.

"Luohe! I admit you're stronger than me!" Huangfeng City Lord roared. "But you still can't hurt me!"

Boom boom boom!!!

At this moment, the Blood Spirit Star erupted, spewing liquid flames containing three Blood Spirit Gold Pearls, naturally swept up by the black river.

"Can't hurt me?" Luo Feng looked at him. "Let's see just how strong your Primordial Bloodline body really is!"

Luo Feng thought, and the Black River surged, dragging Huangfeng City Lord helplessly toward him.

"His domain is too powerful," Huangfeng City Lord watched himself being drawn closer to Luo Feng. "Even Biyun Dasheng's Cutting Heaven Sword could only flee—he must be the strongest Chaos-level transcendental on the Origin Continent! Still, I can still survive."
