Chapter 154: First Entry into Infinite Space

Luo Feng felt his consciousness being drawn into a distant place.

"Boom—boom—boom~~~"

His consciousness roared as an invisible force coalesced into a powerful physical form.

Luo Feng opened his eyes and looked around—he was in a vast forest.

"This body…" Luo Feng sensed his own form; his appearance was identical to his on the Origin Continent, his aura the same, "but this body is far weaker than my Heihe form—it must be a normal Divine King physique."

Luo Feng wasn't surprised; before arriving, his Master Di Chu had given him detailed intelligence on the treasure realm "Infinite Space" in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

The intelligence was clearly recorded.

"Everyone who enters Infinite Space has the same level of physique," Luo Feng knew—he had been greatly weakened, possessing only an ordinary body, not a perfect divine body; he had lost his Formless and Shapeless ability and his clone ability.

Luo Feng stood in the forest, sensing the laws governing heaven and earth.

"The Primordial Dao has been sealed," Luo Feng thought, "according to Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's explorations, this treasure realm seals nineteen Primordial Daos, including the nine Primordial Daos governed by the Supreme Rule of the Origin Continent."

Nineteen Daos sealed.

For example, the Thunder Primordial Dao, the Flame Primordial Dao—though not part of the Supreme Rule, these were recorded in the Origin Continent's traditions; even both ancient kingdoms had methods to cultivate these Primordial Daos.

"These nineteen Primordial Daos are the ones that once had transmissions on the Origin Continent."

"All of them sealed!"

Luo Feng shifted his intent, trying to stir the mystery of the Destruction Primordial Dao—but heaven and earth gave no response.

"Just as the intelligence described—no trace of law can be stirred," Luo Feng was awed by the power of the "Yuan"; the realm Yuan had opened, sealing nineteen Primordial Daos as if it were nothing—his strength was beyond imagination.

Huh.

Luo Feng shot swiftly into the sky, rising high above the forest, gazing across the horizon.

Using terrain references, Luo Feng deduced his approximate location.

"Everyone who enters Infinite Space has the same physique and cannot use any Primordial Dao mysteries," Luo Feng thought, "at first, all one can rely on is the body and spiritual will."

"Most who enter this treasure realm are Divine Kings."

Very few Chaos Realm cultivators can enter—usually only the supreme Chaos Realm cultivators from the two ancient kingdoms' royal families, and their numbers are extremely small; the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's royal family had only five such cultivators total! How many could possibly enter?

Thus, this treasure realm, Infinite Space, was primarily for Divine Kings.

"There are many dominant figures here," Luo Feng was cautious; even if the two ancient kingdoms granted some slots to guest cultivators, each slot required fifty million merit points—ordinary guest Divine Kings couldn't afford them.

Those who could afford them were no ordinary beings.

Some Divine King Second Layer cultivators had spiritual wills that might even reach Divine King Ultimate Layer! Before them, Luo Feng still seemed shallow in accumulation.

"Upon first arrival, one can only rely on body and spiritual will—but over time, new paths can be opened," Luo Feng thought, "outside the nineteen sealed Primordial Daos, any new path one opens can be used within Infinite Space."

"According to the intelligence."

"Infinite Space tests three things."

"One: the strength of spiritual will."

"Two: opening a new path."

"Three: single-handedly killing the realm's native creatures."

"Achieving any of these three grants 'Reward Points,' which can then be exchanged within Infinite Space for various resources—including transmissions, weapons, and treasures that aid cultivation."

Luo Feng thought this treasure realm was quite good.

But to many ancient beings on the Origin Continent, painstakingly accumulating Reward Points only to exchange for resources was similar to the guest cultivator system of the two ancient kingdoms—merit points traded for resources.

The only difference was that Infinite Space's exchange limits were higher—stronger transmissions, rarer treasures… but the required Reward Points were terrifyingly high.

Earning Reward Points in Infinite Space was extremely difficult!

Among all the treasure realms left by Yuan, Infinite Space naturally had less appeal.

"My spiritual will, at Divine King Second Layer, is probably quite ordinary among the competitors here," Luo Feng shook his head lightly, "after all, I'm merely a Chaos Realm cultivator; advancing my spiritual will is incredibly hard."

Though he cultivated with the "Lie Yuan Technique" and the Great Destruction Mind Refinement Method, progress was inherently difficult; even slight laziness could cause his spiritual will to regress.

"Opening a new path?" Luo Feng did have an idea.

He had long planned to open the "Life-Death Dao," but in his plan, he would first solidify his foundation, master more of the Life Primordial Dao and Destruction Primordial Dao, then attempt to fuse them into one—the Life-Death Dao.

"In Infinite Space, the nineteen Primordial Daos are sealed—including Life and Destruction. I could try fusing them completely and opening the Life-Death Dao," Luo Feng thought.

"Third: single-handedly killing native creatures," Luo Feng also found this troubling, "areas rich in native creatures are likely already occupied by major factions."

Compared to enhancing spiritual will or opening new paths, single-handedly killing native creatures was relatively easier.

…

Huh.

Luo Feng left the forest and swiftly flew toward the region claimed by the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, as recorded in the intelligence.

Since the Spatial Primordial Dao was also sealed, Luo Feng could only fly slowly.

After flying for a long time, Luo Feng accidentally brushed against a hidden, vast will—this spiritual will covered an immense area; even when concealed, Luo Feng had sensed nothing. Upon contact, the vast will swept over Luo Feng.

Luo Feng activated the "Lie Yuan Technique" to guard inward, resisting the vast will—this will was clearly far stronger than his own.

"Divine King Ultimate Layer will?" Luo Feng judged; though the other was much stronger, there was no overwhelming crushing sensation.

"Is this Luo He?" The vast will enveloped Luo Feng.

Luo Feng's ordinary body couldn't mask his aura; his energy was completely exposed and instantly recognized.

"Who are you?" Luo Feng didn't know the other's identity.

"I am the 'Fire God' of the Two Realms Palace," the vast will said, "this region is also under my Two Realms Palace's control—leave immediately!"

Luo Feng said nothing and swiftly flew away.

…

"This is my Thunder Ancient Kingdom's territory—leave at once!"

…

!.

"This is my Ten Thousand Methods Tower's territory—depart quickly!"

…

Although Luo Feng had received intelligence from his master, territorial control within Infinite Space constantly changed! A single ancient being could dominate a vast area.

During his flight, Luo Feng encountered six territories claimed by the Two Realms Palace alone, each guarded by a Divine King Ultimate Layer spiritual will.

One after another, territories were seized by major factions—or monopolized by powerful ancient beings.

Luo Feng flew with extreme caution.

"Here."

Luo Feng arrived at the nearest Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom territory recorded in the intelligence.

A vast will enveloped him.

"Huh?" Luo Feng's expression changed.

This will carried an aura of indestructible calamity; merely brushing against Luo Feng made his spiritual will tremble. Upon contact, he even thought of the Calamity Beast.

"Far beyond me. In this treasure realm, I've encountered many ancient beings' spiritual wills—several reached Divine King Ultimate Layer. But… this is the first one surpassing that level," Luo Feng was certain.

This overwhelming power—he felt that without the "Lie Yuan Technique" to guard his will, his spiritual will in Infinite Space would be instantly annihilated in direct confrontation.

"Luo He?" The will detected Luo Feng, "As a Chaos Realm cultivator, you've made it here. You've trained the 'Calamity Beast Diagram'—your spiritual will carries much of the Calamity Beast's essence."

Luo Feng bowed respectfully: "Yes, I've trained the 'Calamity Beast Diagram'—it's helped me greatly."

"I am Di Ming. I painted the Calamity Beast Diagram," the will said.

Luo Feng was internally startled.

Di Ming—one of the Thirteen Emperor Lords of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

Di Ming also cultivated the Primordial Bloodline; he wasn't from the same faction as his master, Di Chu.

Di Ming's rise was legendary throughout the Yanfeng Royal Family—he was a clan member exiled within a small universe, born there in utter humility, yet he advanced step by step, eventually escaping the small universe, becoming a First-Rank Marquis, then a Divine King, and finally an Emperor Lord.

Of the thirteen Emperor Lords, he was born the lowest, yet he earned the worship of countless royal clan members.

"Such terrifying will," Luo Feng felt the indomitable, dreadful will—though he cultivated Primordial Bloodline, Di Ming's spiritual will was utterly calm, like an endless, boundless ocean, undisturbed.

"I can grant you a small plot within the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's territory—it has three native creatures," Di Ming said, "if you think it's too little, you may venture out alone."

"Thank you, Emperor Lord. I accept," Luo Feng said respectfully.

One token, one entry. In the early stage of entering the treasure realm, he must remain low-key, lie low, thoroughly familiarize himself with Infinite Space, and slowly strengthen his power here.

"Go," the terrifying will transmitted a thread of information to Luo Feng—containing a map to that small plot.

"Thank you, Emperor Lord," Luo Feng immediately flew toward the location.

"This Luo He…"

Di Ming was proud and aloof; he disliked most other royal clan Emperor Lords. But toward Luo He, Di Ming felt a faint fondness.

"A non-royal Chaos Realm cultivator making it here is no easy feat," Di Ming knew how rare such an opportunity was; exiled clan members at the lowest tier faced hardships worse than ordinary Origin Continent residents, born with pitifully weak power.

"According to the kingdom's investigation, he came from the Primitive Universe—his birth was likely even humbler than mine."

"Those born in humility cherish every opportunity all the more."

Di Ming thought.

Even as an Emperor Lord, he still treasured this treasure realm! Though some royal elites picked and chose better realms, Di Ming, as one of the peak beings of the Origin Continent, still left a fragment of his consciousness here, quietly cultivating.

He squeezed every ounce of value from every opportunity—that was one reason he became an Emperor Lord.
