Chapter 239: Volume Six: Mo Luo Sa of the Ultimate Realm

Luo Feng's mind stirred, and the vast world-life entity split into two: the main avatar possessed 56 times the energy reserve of a perfect divine body, and its inner world contained the Life Lotus.

"Let's see my maximum strength without using any secret treasures," Luo Feng thought.

BOOM!

The immense power contained within the main avatar instantly activated according to the secret technique, naturally transforming into crimson energy; in an instant, a vast crimson river enveloped every corner of this level of the Star Tower.

It was theoretically infinite in expanse.

Once trapped within this endless crimson river, one could never reach its end—only by transcending the river's power could one escape it.

"Is this the Eight-Branch Fusion Secret Art—'River of Life'?" Within the endless crimson river, a figure of Luo Feng coalesced.

In truth, the endless crimson river itself was Luo Feng's main avatar; the coalesced figure was merely a concentration of energy, insignificant.

"ROAR—"

In Luo Feng's perception, this crimson river was in fact a self-contained world, its operational rules merely a super-simplified version of the crimson scales. From this moment, Luo Feng's secret art had finally grasped a shred of the "crimson scales."

Yet its power was already inconceivable.

Deep within the Life Blood River lay the massive "Life Lotus." When Luo Feng's main avatar transformed into the "River of Life" form, the Life Lotus became its core, greatly amplifying the river's might.

"Life Lotus enhancement—River of Life, fully unleashed!" Luo Feng willed it, and the crimson river surged, as if heaven and earth reversed; the endless river drowned and annihilated all.

"Hm?"

Luo Feng frowned slightly. "Supreme Rule."

As he fully unleashed the River of Life's power, Luo Feng sensed a faint constraint from the Supreme Rule.

"The River of Life's power is already close to the Supreme Rule's upper limit—I feel that if I increase it by three or four more tenths, I'll hit that ceiling," Luo Feng was surprised.

He was still only a Divine King of the Second Layer! And he hadn't even used any secret treasures.

His consciousness, commanding the world-life entity with 56 times the energy reserve of a perfect divine body, wielding the Eight-Branch Secret Art—River of Life—further enhanced by the rare treasure Life Lotus—was already nearing the upper limit of the Origin Continent's power.

"The Life Lotus is nearly as valuable as a secret treasure surpassing Divine King level," Luo Feng realized. "Without this rare treasure, I'd need the Nine-Branch Secret Art to even touch the limit."

The Six-Branch Secret Art of Creation and Destruction was comparable to ordinary Great Dao techniques of the Ultimate Realm.

The Seven-Branch Secret Art underwent a transformation in power—last time, Luo Feng had used it to crush the World Beast avatar of Tianmu Kingdom.

The Eight-Branch Secret Art was even more powerful.

The terror of fusion paths was gradually manifesting.

"Even without activating the Star Tower, I'm already close to the Supreme Rule's upper limit."

"Let's test the Star Tower's power!"

Luo Feng willed it, channeling power into the Star Tower's deeper secret patterns, activating countless patterns.

All the secret arts Luo Feng had comprehended—including the newly discovered Eight-Branch Secret Art, "River of Life"—were merely partial gains from his study of the Star Tower's patterns; they were techniques that could be cast spontaneously.

With the Star Tower, Luo Feng could activate every pattern he had already mastered.

The range of activated patterns far surpassed the Eight-Branch technique.

"ROAR—"

Deep within the vast crimson river, faint shadows of "crimson scales" appeared! The river's power surged violently, instantly reaching the Origin Continent's Supreme Rule upper limit.

Even reaching the upper limit was not enough—under the Star Tower's activation, each strand of the river seemed like a world, infinitely heavy, possessing abilities to suppress, imprison, shatter, penetrate, pierce, and strangle.

All the characteristics of Luo Feng's previously comprehended Six-Branch, Seven-Branch, and Eight-Branch secret arts now existed within this river.

And they were fused into one!

"The Supreme Rule limits the Star Tower's power," a figure of Luo Feng appeared on the surface of the raging crimson river.

"Once power reaches the upper limit, what matters is the technique's subtlety."

"Identical power, different subtleties—different might."

Luo Feng sensed this.

Without the Star Tower, and with it, the power seemed to differ by only three or four tenths.

But with the Star Tower, each strand of the river underwent a qualitative leap—feeling ten times stronger!

"I can feel that even my own world-life entity with ten times the perfect divine body energy reserve would be eroded and annihilated within a single breath before this Star Tower-formed crimson river," Luo Feng thought. "How long could even an Emperor or Sovereign wielding an ultra-powerful secret treasure withstand the Star Tower's might?"

"No wonder the Two Primordial Ancestors could intimidate the Tianmu Kingdom's World Beasts and the rulers of the Ten Thousand Realms," Luo Feng understood.

Even at the upper limit of power, supreme cultivation could still be terrifyingly potent.

The Primordial Ancestor Yan Feng could annihilate all of Zongfu Divine King's avatars and resurrection vessels—only because Zongfu had a peculiar fortune and a special avatar that could evade Yan Feng's tracking.

…

After comprehending the Eight-Branch Secret Art, Luo Feng devoted even greater effort to studying the primordial blood corpse materials, using them to comprehend the Star Tower's secret patterns.

Suddenly, one day.

"Hm?" Luo Feng opened his eyes during cultivation. "Mo Luo Sa has finally broken through."

Mo Luo Sa's slowly increasing aura had now stabilized completely—its strength was unquestionably at the Emperor or Sovereign level. This was still a newly emerged World Beast; he needed to continuously absorb cosmic energy to grow his divine body to its limit, after which his physical form would become even more terrifying.

HU.

Luo Feng arrived at Mo Luo Sa's exclusive level of the Star Tower. "Master," Mo Luo Sa's aura was thick and terrifying; the entire space was saturated with endless destruction aura, radiating from Mo Luo Sa as if ready to annihilate all.

"Have you mastered the complete Destruction Dao?" Luo Feng looked at the destruction aura naturally spreading around him—this aura was far stronger than that of Zongfu Divine King or Di Jiufeng.

Without any treasures, a peak World Beast was indeed far stronger than Emperors or Sovereigns.

"I, Mo Luo Sa, have finally broken through!" Mo Luo Sa was ecstatic. "I've become a peak World Beast—and upon breakthrough, I naturally gained a Destruction Dao Body! Now I only need to absorb energy; in roughly one eon, my Destruction Dao Body… will reach its peak state."

"Destruction Dao Body?" Luo Feng was curious.

"The Destruction Dao Body embodies the three phases of the Destruction Dao. Though its vitality is inferior to paths like the Life Dao, its destructive power is extreme," Mo Luo Sa said excitedly. "I also naturally gained thirty-six Ultimate Realm secret arts, which can be combined! Without any treasures, I'm confident I can fight Emperors and Sovereigns."

"They only rely on ultra-powerful secret treasures," Mo Luo Sa sneered. "In terms of cultivation and power, they're far behind me."

"You're that strong?" Luo Feng smiled. "Show me one of your techniques."

Mo Luo Sa grinned awkwardly. "Master, I might accidentally hurt you."

"It's fine—this is just one of my avatars. Destroying it won't affect me," Luo Feng smiled.

"Master, you said that," Mo Luo Sa said.

!

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

The strongest opponent he'd ever faced was the purple-robed woman—but she concealed her true identity and refrained from using techniques that might reveal it, limiting her power to some extent.

Mo Luo Sa's Destruction Dao Body was still newly formed, not yet at its peak state.

Competing against an Ultimate Realm being still interested Luo Feng.

"Master, be careful."

Mo Luo Sa stood still, extending one finger and gently tapping.

That tap.

Perturbed a single thread of the complete Destruction Dao within the Supreme Rule—a tiny force stirred the entire Destruction Dao, and instantly, all forms of destruction power descended upon Luo Feng's avatar.

Of course, Mo Luo Sa limited the attack's range to target only this one avatar.

"Complete Destruction Dao?" Luo Feng sensed it.

He himself was a Divine King of the Second Layer in Destruction Dao—he could grasp part of the technique's subtlety. He felt Mo Luo Sa's move was truly profound: a single point of force unleashing such overwhelming might.

His avatar, with ten times the perfect divine body energy reserve, could not evade—it took the blow directly.

A normal Divine King of the Second Layer would have been annihilated by a single finger. But Luo Feng suffered only minor injury, healing completely in an instant.

"Mo Luo Sa, this power isn't enough," Luo Feng smiled at him. "As an Ultimate Realm being, show me something truly powerful."

"Hm?" Mo Luo Sa's expression changed slightly; he felt uneasy. "I only used a basic strike, yet I stirred the entire Dao—and Master healed instantly after being injured?"

"Master, this time I'll use a truly powerful technique. Be careful," Mo Luo Sa said, staring at Luo Feng.

"Begin," Luo Feng said.

Mo Luo Sa nodded.

HU!

Instantly, Mo Luo Sa split into eighteen avatars.

Eighteen Mo Luo Sas appeared across the vast space, each wielding a different Ultimate Realm secret art! In that instant, eighteen Ultimate Realm secret arts erupted simultaneously—not merely adding up, but perfectly coordinating, their subtlety undergoing a qualitative leap.

"BOOM—" Under the convergence of this terrifying power, all energy condensed into a single point and exploded within Luo Feng's body.

Luo Feng's body instantly became ragged, riddled with countless holes.

In an instant, over half his body vanished.

But immense vitality surged from nothingness, and Luo Feng's body restored itself in an instant—though his aura was noticeably weaker.

"Huff… huff… huff," Mo Luo Sa's aura had also weakened; he stared at Luo Feng and couldn't help asking, "Master, your avatar doesn't seem to have suffered much?"

"I lost three-tenths," Luo Feng said.

Under Mo Luo Sa's terrifying technique, Luo Feng's avatar had lost three perfect divine body energy reserves—this surprised Luo Feng greatly. Mo Luo Sa's unleashed power was already far stronger than the purple-robed woman's.

Of course, in the deep Dream Realm, Luo Feng had used his mental will to suppress the purple-robed woman, limiting her to partial power.

"Master, when my Destruction Dao Body reaches its peak, let's fight again," Mo Luo Sa said, still Bufuqi.

"Can your techniques become even more refined?" Luo Feng asked.

"No way."

Mo Luo Sa shook his head. "As a peak World Beast, the Destruction Dao Body and thirty-six Ultimate Realm secret arts I naturally gained are the best techniques granted by the Supreme Rule. Even if I study further, I'm unlikely to make much progress."

The Supreme Rule naturally bestows upon World Beasts the most suitable techniques.

"If your techniques can't become more refined, there's no point in further competition," Luo Feng shook his head. Losing three perfect divine body energy reserves hurt.

He should've used a stronger avatar—then the loss would've been far less.

After this sparring match, Luo Feng understood: in the outside world, when facing Emperors or Sovereigns with complete ultra-powerful secret treasures, he should always act with his strongest avatar—it was safer.
