Clearly, Yuan’s status beyond the Source World must have been extremely high—far surpassing the ancestral founders of the Two Ancient Nations.” Luo Feng mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng carefully observed the Scale of Destruction for three full days, recording every mystical pattern he could discern, before finally beginning to integrate it into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Perfect Divine Body split off a clone imbued with ninety-nine percent of its divine energy reserves. The remaining tiny portion of the Perfect Divine Body once again began drawing energy frantically through the small universe, slowly recovering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll modify this massive clone.” Luo Feng held the black scale and pressed it directly against his chest—the scale swiftly merged into his skin. He had already received detailed usage instructions when he exchanged for the Scale of Destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Destroy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying killing intent surged through his soul, yet Luo Feng’s expression remained unchanged, calmly observing the transformations within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Scale of Destruction merged into his skin, its latent power erupted naturally, beginning to corrode Luo Feng’s entire body—his skin, flesh, tendons, and bones all transformed instinctively. The corrosion was extremely rapid; even though this clone’s energy reserves exceeded those of a World Lifeform, within merely dozens of breaths, his body was naturally reshaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant the transformation succeeded, the Scale of Destruction vanished naturally, its killing intent gone forever, leaving no trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even the most minute structures of my body have changed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng examined this “Destruction Demon Clone” closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive body was entirely covered in scales resembling the Scale of Destruction, even extending over his face—but these scales were pale blue, their aura far weaker than the original.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes glowed gold; a tail emerged naturally, and six curved horns grew atop his head—six horns vaguely resembling one manifestation of the Destruction Origin Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Destruction Demon Clone is weak in power—even with my massive Perfect Divine Body as a base, it barely reaches the threshold of God-King Second Layer. Far inferior to my World Lifeform Clone.” Luo Feng shook his head lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it is truly a favorite of the Destruction Origin Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng extended his right claw and moved it gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysteries of the Destruction Origin Dao were effortlessly stirred! Luo Feng felt his body was now part of the Destruction Origin Dao itself—he could perceive and comprehend it through his very flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, his body’s sensitivity to other Dao paths remained vague.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I once consumed the Five-Colored Divine Herb—the Five-Colored Divine Herb bonded my body and soul to the Destruction Origin Dao, lasting roughly three eons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the Scale of Destruction altered only my body—leaving my soul untouched.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet the body’s alignment with the Destruction Origin Dao is even stronger…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Overall, the Scale of Destruction achieves roughly seventy to eighty percent of the Five-Colored Divine Herb’s effect.” Luo Feng thought. “Most importantly, this state is permanent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng was deeply satisfied with this state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Five-Colored Divine Herb was worth ten million merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Destruction Demon Body could permanently maintain roughly seventy to eighty percent of the Five-Colored Divine Herb’s state—its value was self-evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My cultivation of the Destruction Origin Dao will now fully surpass the Life Origin Dao.” Luo Feng realized this—since Mo Luo Sa had manifested the complete Destruction Dao, the advancement speeds of both paths had been nearly equal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the Destruction Origin Dao’s progress had accelerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Infinite Space Treasury, there were “Lotus Heart Seeds” that made one a favorite of the Life Origin Dao—but they were far too expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eons passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though now a favorite of the Destruction Origin Dao, he still needed time to accumulate power. Compared to the ancient beings of the Origin Continent, Luo Feng was still far too young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the deeper spaces within the Dream Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, darkness was impenetrable; countless cavern tunnels formed a labyrinthine world. Within one cave, Luo Feng had transformed into a massive boulder, practicing the Great Destruction Mind Refinement Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan’s inherited will, the “Lie Yuan Technique,” included the “Great Destruction Mind Refinement Method” for cultivating willpower. As Luo Feng’s Destruction Origin Dao advanced, its effects grew increasingly pronounced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom, boom, boom~~~” At the center of endless voids, Luo Feng’s consciousness had taken the form of a hazy human silhouette—barely recognizable as Luo Feng himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mental silhouette sat cross-legged, resisting both the ceaseless infiltration of the Dream Realm’s depths and the eroding force of the Great Destruction Mind Refinement Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been in the Dream Realm for over one hundred and fifty eons—I feel my soul continuously evolving, yet my mental willpower can never break through the God-King Ultimate bottleneck.” Luo Feng found this path unbearably difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dream Realm cultivation was excruciating; Luo Feng always pushed himself to his absolute limit, training until he fully sank into the Dream Realm’s illusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, as soon as he entered the dream, he halted the Great Destruction Mind Refinement Method and quickly awoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one hundred and fifty eons, Luo Feng had sunk into the dream dozens of times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advancements in Dao paths, the opening of new Daos—these elevated Luo Feng’s understanding of Dao, naturally strengthening his mental willpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Infinite Space Treasury’s repeated erasure of mental beings aided his soul. The Great Destruction Mind Refinement Method remained unwavering—and since gaining the Destruction Demon Clone, its effects had become even more pronounced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can feel myself evolving—but I still can’t break through.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder, on the Origin Continent, every being except Di Ming surpassed the God-King level in mental willpower only after comprehending a complete Origin Dao.” At this moment, Luo Feng deeply admired Di Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Ming’s soul foundation was certainly inferior to Luo Feng’s Perfect Divine Body—yet he had surpassed the God-King level in mental willpower even before comprehending a complete Dao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, as a royal God-King of the Flame Wind Ancient Nation, Di Ming’s rise had been dazzling—he must have received far more resources than Luo Feng. The meager amount Luo Feng, a lone God-King, had received might amount to only a fraction of a fraction of what the two royal clans possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enduring the dual torment of the Dream Realm’s depths and the Great Destruction Mind Refinement Method, Luo Feng could still divert his attention elsewhere—but in this state, he could not focus deeply on cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, Luo Feng grew increasingly exhausted, until he could no longer divert his attention at all—his external clones all entered seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hum.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng did not stop—he persisted, pushing to his final limit, until… he sank into the dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the previous one hundred and fifty eons, Luo Feng had sunk into the dream dozens of times; each time he awoke, he summarized his experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the dream memories were forgotten; only a few remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remembered fragments were chaotic—even contradictory—but some scenes, Luo Feng felt, had long surpassed the boundaries of the Source World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...The Ancestor has summoned you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had forgotten who he was; his body was now immense, possessing inconceivable power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he stood there with profound reverence, patiently waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve accomplished great deeds—enough to earn the Ancestor’s summons. I wonder what reward he will grant me.” Joy surged within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When will the Ancestor summon me again? I’ve waited so long…” A sense of weariness surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How will the Ancestor punish me?” Fear began to grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dream was chaotic—as if he had visited the Ancestor countless times, endlessly awaiting another summons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A colossal eye appeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng gazed at the colossal eye with utmost reverence: “Ancestor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called “Ancestor” was surrounded by boundless Dao patterns, obscuring its true form; in the dream, Luo Feng saw only that one colossal eye—a single eye that seemed etched into his soul, filling him with terror, leaving no thought of resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hum, hum, hum~~~” The entire dream trembled. After halting the Great Destruction Mind Refinement Method, Luo Feng’s mental willpower had already begun struggling to escape the dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw the colossal eye, his mental willpower instinctively rebelled violently—the dream began to shatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely shattered—all vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng regained clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” Luo Feng revealed his true face, eyes filled with terror. “Why was this memory so clear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, most dream memories were forgotten; the few retained had no lasting effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That eye! Luo Feng still remembered it clearly after waking! Though slightly blurred, the eye still filled him with boundless terror—even his mental willpower could not suppress this fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terror. Trembling with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond his control!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only fear. Only submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could this happen?” Luo Feng instantly dispersed this clone, self-annihilating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Yang City, inside the Star Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng’s Perfect Divine Body, Destruction Demon Clone, and World Lifeform Clone all displayed expressions of shock and fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cannot be forgotten. Cannot be erased.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng tried to erase the memory—but failed! The memory had already seeped into and fused with his entire soul; even if he destroyed all other memories, leaving his mind blank, this memory would still resurface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Erase it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng activated the Great Destruction Mind Refinement Method—the method eroded mental distractions, eroding these fearful thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Feeling better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maintaining the Great Destruction Cultivation of the Heart, whenever fear or submission arose, it was ground away; Luo Feng felt his mind grow far clearer and more serene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It still takes root in the soul.” Luo Feng realized the problem: the Great Destruction Cultivation of the Heart could only grind away all distracting thoughts, leaving the mind sufficiently empty and still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it could not destroy the root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard that cultivating the Hunyuan bloodline, the residual will of the Hunyuan bloodline pollutes one’s own mind… Even if a Lord reincarnates, and the reincarnated form is free of will pollution, the ‘memory pollution’ remains—memory pollution can only be controlled by oneself, and is hard to eradicate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Memory pollution is milder than will pollution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it is still pollution!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord has carried it all along—and now, Luo Feng carries memory pollution too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1924,"2026-06-20T20:45:00.697Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5047d34f49ef5696dab5a7b2761501e97a64e2f0ba0f9010ec5a855bf2aa717e","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-209","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-207",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
