Combined with the treasures I’ve accumulated, I can exchange it for a Ultimate-Level Hunyuan Bloodline.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his status, he had dealt with three alien races before and understood clearly that this Origin Continent, as a source-world, was gradually entering its final phase. When total annihilation came, one either had to comprehend a complete Dao and forcibly endure the great destruction—or cultivate a Ultimate-Level lifeform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After countless eons, he had never grasped a complete Dao. He needed a backup plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current realm accumulation, using a Ultimate-Level Hunyuan Bloodline to switch cultivation paths would let him easily forge a “Ultimate-Level Lifeform.” The only problem: one such bloodline required direct refinement by a Primogenitor-level being—immensely costly and exorbitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Qianmeng fruit is mine,” the purple-robed woman said, gazing at Zongfu Shenwang and Luo Feng. “In terms of lifeform and realm, I surpass them both! If I lose to these two, it would be a joke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confidence stemmed from strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is my first true clash with an equal,” Luo Feng thought. “Di Jiu Feng and Di Wu, without matching Transcendent Shenwang-tier artifacts, lack real intimidation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most Di Jun and Jun Zhu lacked incarnations, and only a handful ventured into the deep layers of the Dream Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with only one true body always carried full sets of “Transcendent Shenwang-tier” artifacts, their combat power rivaling that of the Lord of Myriad Worlds or a World Beast. If they fought within their own cities, their strength was even more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But stripped of external tools, their intimidation dropped by more than half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even without artifacts, Zongfu Shenwang and this mysterious powerhouse are formidable,\" Luo Feng dared not let his guard down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three powerhouses each harbored their own thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, without sound or warning, an attack descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rip!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng felt a piercing pain in his soul, and an invisible force was draining the vitality of his World Lifeform. This conceptual “deprivation of life” was extraordinarily refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Luo Feng’s Twenty-Four Forms were too stable, his World Lifeform too vast! Conceptual life-deprivation could not shake him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impressive, Zongfu,” Luo Feng was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primordial Life Dao, if fully mastered, would have no weaknesses—its offensive power would be equally terrifying. “Deprivation of Life” targeted not just the body, but the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daos are interconnected!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Daos share common elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Life Dao has a “Death Branch.” But compared to the Pure Death Primordial Dao, it is vastly simpler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, the Primordial Life Dao encompasses the entire concept of life—including the soul. Yet it pales next to pure soul-based Daos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Life combined with Cause and Effect creates such a strange attack,” Luo Feng mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zongfu Shenwang was stunned. “My Life Deprivation has no effect on either of them? Are they both Ultimate-Level beings?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attack, clearly powerful, failed utterly against the black-robed, golden-masked powerhouse and the purple-robed woman—their bodies and souls were too resilient. Zongfu Shenwang could not budge them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since Zongfu Shenwang has struck, why hasn't the black-robed powerhouse acted?\" the purple-robed woman smiled at Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once I strike, you won’t get a chance to retaliate,” said Luo Feng, the black-robed golden-masked one. His immense physical and soul foundations gave him full confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Di Jun and Jun Zhu had full sets of supreme artifacts, Luo Feng feared none. Especially here in the deep layers, where no one carried artifacts—he was naturally confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zongfu Shenwang stared at the black-robed powerhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha…” the purple-robed woman laughed. “Go ahead and strike.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One thought arose!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the purple-robed woman and Zongfu Shenwang felt the world vanish—only Luo Feng’s calm eyes remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those eyes transformed into a colossal star, slowly rolling, radiating an irresistible might—it naturally crushed down upon their souls and wills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng’s soul-will was unleashed without reservation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his use of the Lie Yuan Shu grew even more profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Luo Feng did not know their true identities—he held back. In the past, when he used Lie Yuan Shu, he obliterated enemies completely, leaving not a trace of their soul-will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, he only intended to shatter their soul-will—then spare them. If their soul-will remained in fragments, they would not die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was merely a contest for treasure! Luo Feng had no intent to kill. In fact, he suspected… the woman might be a member of the Wheel Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it seemed slow, soul-attack happened in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colossal will-star first crushed Zongfu Shenwang—his soul-will shattered into dust. Yet Luo Feng did not pursue the remnants. The will-star then crushed the purple-robed woman’s soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm?” Luo Feng’s expression changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the will-star struck the purple-robed woman’s soul, he felt immense resistance—her soul was extraordinarily resilient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the collision cracked her soul with numerous fissures, she held firm. “Her soul-will isn’t Transcendent Shenwang-level! Yet she held!” Luo Feng instantly judged. “Her body strongly impedes my soul-will—she must be a Ultimate-Level Lifeform! Her soul-will is clearly Shenwang Ultimate-level, yet her resistance is just as strong…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng was filled with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who is this purple-robed woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zongfu Shenwang felt his soul crumbling—he recalled facing Di Qing and Yanfeng Primogenitor! Both had once unleashed soul-attacks upon him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Qing and Yanfeng Primogenitor had used countless lethal techniques, even destroying all his surface incarnations and resurrection vessels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This black-robed powerhouse held back—if he wished, he could have erased this incarnation of mine,\" Zongfu Shenwang’s soul was now dust, further weakened by the deep Dream Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet because his external “lifesaving incarnation” remained intact, his current incarnation’s soul-will rapidly regenerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul-will works this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To annihilate it, every single incarnation’s soul-will must be utterly destroyed. Otherwise, as long as one incarnation remains unharmed, all others can recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I accept defeat. I yield the Qianmeng fruit,” Zongfu Shenwang said, then vanished using Cause-and-Effect evasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such terrifying soul-will, he had no chance to counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng turned to the purple-robed woman and activated a different Lie Yuan Shu technique. Beyond his familiar will-star, he now shaped will-blades, unleashing full force upon her—but she resisted completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She withstood his soul-attack—and the deep Dream Realm’s influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impressive,” the purple-robed woman said, gazing at Luo Feng. “I carry no supreme artifacts. I’m only an incarnation here. Yet you forced me to use seven-tenths of my strength. You’re remarkable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Transcendent Shenwang-level soul-will is rare on the Origin Continent. Di Qing, Di Ming, Lord of Myriad Worlds—you’re none of them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-robed woman smiled at Luo Feng. “I never expected a new Transcendent Shenwang-level soul-will to emerge on the Origin Continent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng looked at her. “I was overconfident just now. You’re truly formidable. Your soul-will is clearly Shenwang Ultimate-level, yet you still resisted me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who wins this battle isn’t certain,” the purple-robed woman said, gazing at Luo Feng. “Even with only three-tenths of my strength, I can still unleash Ultimate-Level techniques.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please,” Luo Feng smiled at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-robed woman no longer deferred—enduring such terrifying soul-will was no pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at Luo Feng, eyes cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invisible attack descended!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng’s body immediately suffered assaults on every level—material, energy, rule-operation—all ways targeting his body and piercing his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Luo Feng himself was like a vast world, naturally self-regulating—minor damage healed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His soul, too, had an ultra-strong foundation, governed by powerful soul-will, and enhanced by Lie Yuan Shu. Resisting these minor soul-level ripples was effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His body isn’t a Ultimate-Level Lifeform. It lacks the sense of perfect Dao completion. But his body is too vast, his energy reserves too immense… every wound I inflict, he heals instantly,” the purple-robed woman felt a chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When size reaches a certain scale, quantity can compensate for slight deficiencies in quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You take this,” Luo Feng smiled, gently pointing a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single drop of blood flew from his fingertip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That drop contained one-tenth of the energy reserves of this powerful incarnation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm?” The purple-robed woman, seeing the drop, felt a terrifying dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That drop…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carried a faint echo of the crimson scales from the deeper layers of the Star Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had long pursued interpreting the mystery of the crimson scales using the nine branches of the Life-Death Dao. So far, his strongest achievement was two seven-branch fusion techniques. Now he unleashed one: “Dripping Blood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more energy infused, the more terrifying the power. Now, Luo Feng had poured the full energy of a perfect divine body into this single technique—his soul-control at its absolute limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hum.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drop of blood, as soon as it left Luo Feng’s fingertip, instantly adhered to the purple-robed woman’s fingertip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the blood surged, violently permeating every part of her body, infiltrating every life structure. Once a structure was fully corrupted, its power was absorbed and transformed into part of Luo Feng’s blood drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absorption and transformation? Even my will-infused power can be stolen?” the purple-robed woman was shocked. “This exceeds ordinary Ultimate-Level techniques—it already bears the aura of a Lord of Myriad Worlds’ ‘Transmutation.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of Myriad Worlds’ \"Transmutation\" could also convert other powerhouses’ energy into their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My incarnation can only sustain three-tenths of my strength. I cannot resist this blood’s corruption—I must summon my true body,” the purple-robed woman glanced at Luo Feng, realizing she must retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-robed woman spoke, then instantly escaped from this Dream Realm space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she fled the Dream Realm space, the blood drop detached from her automatically—Luo Feng could not let her carry away the energy of a perfect divine body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I used Lie Yuan Shu and the seven-branch technique ‘Dripping Blood’ together—my full strength—and I only drove back one of her incarnations,” Luo Feng gazed at her departing direction. “I still don’t know who she is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1719,"2026-06-20T20:45:00.697Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","190dc8267f9254656b29d91a54717d241a7ab5e3ee9a262c44311fc226fa908c","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-233","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-231",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
