Chapter 177: The Unfathomable Divine Body

On the Origin Continent, in the quiet chamber of the Marquis's mansion in Huyang City.

Luo Feng's consciousness fully returned to his physical body; his original "Chaos Space" had long since transformed into a far vaster, more resilient space! Divine Kings typically carve out a universe within this space.

Because the laws governing the universe are none other than one's own comprehension of the Dao—this too is a form of cultivation.

"Boom—rumble~~~" Like a boundless celestial river surging, endless energy from the mysterious source transformed into divine power and flooded into Luo Feng's inner space, already becoming an infinite ocean.

And the mysterious source continued to pour forth without ceasing.

In just three months of Earth time, the "mini-universe" in his homeland region had grown to the size of a primal universe! The intensity of the energy infusion was staggering—and now this energy still fed the formation of Luo Feng's divine body.

"Divine body transformation."

Luo Feng actively guided the process; endless divine power swiftly coalesced into a new divine body.

"This divine body will likely be enormous—I doubt I can conceal all its aura." Luo Feng's thought shifted, and instantly, a clone far away in Chu Capital, carrying the Star Tower, quietly departed Chu Capital.

In mere moments, he arrived in Huyang City with the Star Tower.

Inside the quiet chamber, the Star Tower stood alone, while Luo Feng had already entered within.

"Boom!!!" In one layer of the Star Tower's interior space, Luo Feng no longer held back—he condensed his divine body at maximum speed. The infinite ocean of divine power within his inner space visibly receded, and soon, it was utterly drained.

Of course, the endless energy from the mysterious source continued to arrive, transformed into divine power without pause.

Whatever arrived, he converted entirely into his divine body.

"Ten trillion kilometers, eleven trillion kilometers…" Luo Feng sensed his divine body rapidly growing; only three days had passed on the Origin Continent, yet his perfect divine body had already reached its limit.

The unrestrained infusion of energy from the mysterious source ceased.

The supreme rule's blessing—the unrestrained energy infusion—comes but once: when becoming a Divine King.

"My divine body."

Luo Feng felt himself.

A towering, boundless divine body sat cross-legged within the Star Tower's space; the Star Tower's interior could still expand sufficiently to accommodate Luo Feng's full divine form.

"Under the conditions of the Origin Continent, my divine body stands 1. quadrillion kilometers tall—higher than the heavens themselves." Luo Feng understood this.

The distance between heaven and earth on the Origin Continent varies slightly due to basins and mountains, but generally hovers around one hundred trillion kilometers.

Thus, even a Chaos Realm being with an infinite divine body, even if deliberately expanding, finds it nearly impossible to match the height of heaven and earth.

But a Divine King with an infinite divine body is different.

"Divine Kings with infinite divine bodies typically stand at 36 trillion kilometers. Even when standing normally, they walk the earth without strain—and with a mere shake, they can match the height of heaven and earth." Luo Feng understood this.

Ancient Divine Kings matching heaven and earth in height were normal.

"But I…"

"My normal divine body cannot even stand upright on the Origin Continent—even seated cross-legged, my head likely brushes the starry sky." Luo Feng thought.

"The Star Tower is remarkable—its inner space, expanded just beyond my body's height, still feels effortless." Luo Feng knew well: many space-type treasures were vast, but none so vast and still so valuable.

Luo Feng had long sensed the Star Tower's extraordinary nature, yet he could not yet fully comprehend it.

"A perfect Divine King body—this is its final form. To grow stronger physically or spiritually henceforth requires personal cultivation." Luo Feng felt the immense foundation within him.

His divine body's foundation and divine power reserves far surpassed those of ordinary Divine Kings; the quality of his divine power was also superior.

His soul foundation, after becoming a Divine King, had been greatly strengthened by the primal-universe-sized mini-universe and his perfect divine body.

For Divine Kings not cultivating the soul path, strengthening the soul required either nurturing it through the physical body—inefficient—or rare treasures—priceless beyond measure.

"Many Chaos Realm beings, after comprehending a branch of the Dao, prefer to reincarnate first, rectify their flaws, cultivate an infinite divine body, then become Divine Kings." Luo Feng sighed inwardly, "Foundations truly matter."

"World Lifeform transformation!"

Luo Feng willed it—and began transforming his perfect divine body into a "World Lifeform."

A perfect divine body, composed of divine power, still lagged behind the "World Lifeform" in combat power. The "World Lifeform" scripture, as a top-tier inheritance, granted immediate invincibility at Divine King Level One, with an extremely high ceiling.

Boom—rumble~~~~

With prior experience, Luo Feng transformed far faster this time; vast quantities of divine power rapidly converted.

"This time, I control the World Lifeform far more easily." Luo Feng sensed the difference.

Upon first breaking into Divine King, his mental will had not improved, but his soul had become vastly larger.

The soul is like an army: ten thousand soldiers versus a million—same general, yet utterly different combat power.

"A vast soul can command a far larger physical form."

Perfect divine power continuously transformed into stronger World Lifeform energy.

This lasted five full days.

Two towering physical forms sat cross-legged within the Star Tower: one clad in black robes—the perfect divine body; the other in silver robes—the World Lifeform.

"I've consumed half of my perfect divine body's divine power reserves—nearly reached the limit of my mental will's endurance." The silver-robed Luo Feng rose; boom—rumble—the mere act of standing sent shockwaves through the surrounding space, echoing violently within the Star Tower.

"Only a powerful soul foundation and ultimate-level mental will can barely control such a terrifying body—the burden on my mind already exceeds ninety percent!"

Though the perfect divine body and World Lifeform held equal energy reserves, their combat power differed greatly.

"Maintaining a burden over ninety percent is exhausting! I'll keep this World Lifeform in 'sleep' during normal times." Luo Feng willed it—and the silver-robed Luo Feng immediately sat cross-legged again.

The silver-robed Luo Feng gradually sank into slumber; his breathing continued, stirring storms, yet his consciousness had grown faint.

"Under slumber, the burden on my mind becomes negligible."

"For daily activities outside, I'll create several weaker clones."

Luo Feng willed it.

The cross-legged silver-robed Luo Feng immediately emitted three beams of silver light, each coalescing into a clone.

"Each clone holds roughly one-thousandth the energy reserve of the World Lifeform—far stronger than my Chaos Realm 'World Lifeform' ever was." Luo Feng was satisfied.

From Chaos Realm to Divine King:

Divine body height increased a hundredfold; divine power quality transformed a hundredfold—energy-wise, the gap was over a hundred million times.

Now, even a single clone surpassed the World Lifeform he once forged at great cost in the Chaos Realm.

"One clone should be invincible at Divine King Level One." Luo Feng thought, "And this clone can still execute many techniques with exquisite precision."

"If I go all out, I should surpass even the standard 'invincible at Divine King Level One'."

Luo Feng made this judgment. "Invincible at Divine King Level One" was a broad term, meaning all survival, offensive, and defensive techniques reached the level of Divine King Level Two. Each such invincible being had their own strengths.

For example, Jia Yin Divine King cultivated both "Infinite" and "Cause-Effect" Dao branches—her direct combat was far weaker than Luo Feng's now, yet her ability to avoid danger and seize fortune vastly surpassed his.

"On the Origin Continent, no one has ever heard of a Divine King Level One defeating a Level Two, or a Level Two defeating a Ultimate Level."

"But the inheritance of the 'Infinite Space' sacred site has records indicating it's theoretically possible."

Luo Feng understood this.

It was merely theoretically possible.

Even for a perfect inheritance, entry was theoretically achievable!

"According to the 'World Lifeform' scripture, at Divine King Level One, the most perfect physical form is the 'Twenty-Four Forms'—this is my next goal. But for now, I'll set it aside; my core focus will be the 'Destruction Origin Dao'." Luo Feng thought.

The Twenty-Four Forms appeared in the complete Life Origin Dao as the twenty-four claws—each claw a manifestation of one phase of the Life Origin Dao.

Each phase combined six branches, far more complex and mysterious than the Ten Directions Form.

To fully comprehend all Twenty-Four Forms—difficulty beyond imagination.

Usually, when one's understanding of the six branches reaches such depth, they've only grasped a few phases before the branches fully merge, and they ascend to Divine King Level Two.

!.

"For a long time, the World Lifeform will be my strongest physical form."

"Now I need to better unleash my physical power."

For combat and destruction, the Destruction Origin Dao naturally excelled.

Luo Feng immediately quieted his mind and sensed his inner space—the expanded realm evolved from his Chaos Space, now thicker and vaster due to his foundation.

"Other Divine Kings typically carve their inner space into a universe."

"I am better suited to shape it into a 'Source World,'" Luo Feng thought, "at least, a prototype."

On one hand, the top-tier inheritance "World Lifeform" required the creation of an inner world, and the ultimate goal of any world was the "Source World."

On the other hand, Luo Feng's mind had merged with the supreme rule, and he had observed the full panorama of the Origin Continent's Source World.

"Open."

One thought.

The mini-universe in his homeland continued to gather divine power and transmit it! The mini-universe had an energy limit, but the supreme rule imposed no restriction on Luo Feng's cultivation needs.

Any being could use as much as they could harness.

"Boom—rumble~~~" Within his inner space, endless energy converged at the core, forming a small landmass, a miniature replica of the Origin Continent.

Ninety-nine percent of the energy gathered here.

Beyond lay a vast void, within which three thousand miniature universes were gestating.

The World Lifeform's original boundless "World Power" merged into this world, causing it to evolve naturally: the Origin Continent grew heavier, and flora and fauna began to sprout; the positions of the three thousand miniature universes adjusted organically, and life began to stir within them.

The operating laws of this entire inner "miniature Source World" were precisely the six branches of Life Dao Luo Feng had comprehended—its internal vitality was naturally rich.

"Just a beginning." Luo Feng smiled.

"Hum."

After stabilizing his inner world, Luo Feng's world reflection expanded dramatically.

"This range…" Luo Feng was astonished.

Previously, his inner world reflected the outside over roughly three Chaos Provinces; now, with his strengthened body, expanded inner world, and deeper foundation, the reflection range had surged to sixteen Chaos Provinces.

Normally, expanding a world reflection was extremely difficult—even with greatly increased foundation, the range might only grow slightly.

From three to sixteen Chaos Provinces—this revealed the magnitude of Luo Feng's advancement.

"Sixteen Chaos Provinces." Though in Huyang City, Luo Feng observed every detail within sixteen Chaos Provinces—even a single speck of dust.

Across this vast expanse, numerous strange beasts and twelve Chaotic Realm cultivators all remained utterly unaware under Luo Feng's observation.

"I am the world."

"Everything is exposed."

The silver-robed Luo Feng stood above Huyang City; his very being carried the "Law of Internal World Operation," causing the supreme laws around him to temporarily retreat. All energies, different spacetime layers, even karmic entanglements—all lay bare under Luo Feng's gaze.

"I've finally drawn close to the Tiankun Nation's Sovereign," Luo Feng smiled.

……

In the cave dwelling of Zhang Yunge on Bolu Mountain.

"Yunge, is there something going on between you and Mo Yu Qingyan?" Zhang Yunge's father sent a message.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yunge asked in confusion. "What happened?"

"Mo Yu Qingyan revoked the usage rights to the Zi Yun Palace in Xiangjie City. Our family's merchant guild was forced to relocate. Now everyone in Xiangjie City is talking—you and Mo Yu Qingyan may have broken up. He never denied it." Zhang's father spoke urgently. "Our merchant guild's business in Xiangjie City has plummeted."

Zhang Yunge had originally managed some of the family merchant guild's affairs, which was how she met Mo Yu Qingyan.

"He revoked the Zi Yun Palace's usage rights?" Zhang Yunge fell silent.

"What exactly happened between you two?" Zhang's father pressed.

"We broke up long ago," Zhang Yunge no longer concealed it.

"How could you break up?" Zhang's father exclaimed in shock and anger.

"Why not? As cultivators, we come together when we wish, and part when we wish. Must we report every decision to our father?" Zhang Yunge said. "Besides, I now wish only to cultivate wholeheartedly on Bolu Mountain."

"You—you—" Zhang's father was furious.

Ever since his daughter became inseparable from Mo Yu Qingyan, his standing within the family soared, and the merchant guild's business under his charge rose dramatically.

"My decision is final," Zhang Yunge said.

Zhang's father was helpless.

Ever since his daughter attained Eternal True God status, he had found it nearly impossible to control her.

"Fine. Then you must seize the opportunity on Bolu Mountain and cultivate diligently," Zhang's father could only say.

"I understand perfectly," Zhang Yunge replied, then ended the message.
