Chapter 249: Chapter Six: The Water-Drop Flying Vessel

The Time-Space Old Devil merged his two forms, smiled warmly, flipped his hand, and a droplet of blue-green water appeared in his palm—gradually taking shape into a flying vessel. "This is a Duntao -type flying vessel from the late Divine Emperor realm. When you leave the Source World, you'll face countless dangers—it will prove invaluable then."

Luo Feng reached out and took it.

A droplet of blue-green water landed in his palm.

"Hm?" Luo Feng's consciousness seeped in, swiftly mastering the artifact—the droplet naturally transformed into a flying vessel.

"Late Divine Emperor realm… a life-based artifact?"

Luo Feng had already glimpsed the hidden patterns within the artifact. Though he could instantly tell it was far inferior to the Star Tower, right now he could barely activate even a fraction of the Star Tower's power.

He could likewise activate only a tiny portion of this droplet.

As his power seeped into the artifact, Luo Feng felt the droplet's immense weight—an existence vastly heavier than his own life force. Even with all his strength, he couldn't budge it an inch.

He heard that this Silver River Sovereign killed Emperor Yuan, and he wanted to defect.

In one glance—

But this being now—

The Time-Space Old Devil said, "Those who escape the Source World aren't ordinary strong ones! These strong ones… very few are native to the Source World. Most come from countless other worlds. They can all be collectively called 'cultivators.'"

"Do you wonder why Yuan left so many sacred sites across the Origin Continent?" The Time-Space Old Devil shook his head lightly. "It's because the entire cultivator faction is at a disadvantage against the innate Hunyuan life Zuqun."

Swallowing the Source World? A colossal entity storming into a world, and even the Hunyuan life of the cultivators are torn apart? Compared to that level, I am truly insignificant.

…

"Gui Xu, come with me," Mo Luo Sa said. Now Mo Luo Sa was the chief steward of the entire Silver River Divine Nation, and he had sufficient power to manage these unruly Divine Kings.

"Regardless, cultivators are still on the same side," said the Time-Space Old Devil. "The innate Hunyuan life are our true enemies."

"Unable to even save themselves?" Luo Feng frowned.

A man in blue robes appeared within the capital, then took one step and stood before the palace gate.

"They are born beyond the cage—they are Hunyuan life! But most among them have extremely low wisdom and insight, unable to unlock much of their bloodline power, their strength barely reaching the Divine Emperor level. These low-wisdom ones are called 'low-grade Hunyuan life.' They are our cultivators' enemies." The Time-Space Old Devil said, "As for stronger ones like 'high-grade Hunyuan life'—don't even think about them. If we encounter them, we're dead. Even our avatars hidden in our home Source World would be dragged down and killed."

Yanfeng Ancient Nation, Qing Capital.

"This flying vessel has an extremely wide sensing range—within that range, you can arrive anywhere with a single thought." The Time-Space Old Devil said, "And it's like a living world—immensely heavy, capable of shielding you from countless dangers. Especially for you youngsters with weak power—you just step outside the Source World without any protective item, and you'll die easily."

"He's one of my Jieshou," Luo Feng said.

"The Time-Space Old Devil is right—five cheap items, only the armor and the bead hold real value."

The three alien races were outsiders after all—their power suppressed at the upper limit of Chaos Realm! So Luo Feng dealt with them easily.

"I can sense the entire Source World now!" Luo Feng, using the water-droplet vessel, sensed every corner of the Source World—including the three-thousand-dimensional space and the Original Universe.

"Yes," Gui Xu respectfully replied.

…

He did not descend directly into the palace, but remained outside the main gate—signaling goodwill.

Countless of their kind marched forward in darkness.

But the three-thousand Original Universes were subtly protected by supreme rules—if I intruded, the consequences would be dire.

The Time-Space Old Devil looked at Luo Feng as he looked at a fellow being.

Luo Feng had also learned about the world beyond the Source World from the Two-Realm Palace Master and the Ten-Thousand Methods Tower Master—both had not concealed anything and volunteered much information.

"Finally, I have the honor to meet the Silver River Sovereign," Emperor Qing smiled as he approached, then suddenly froze, staring at Mo Luo Sa beside him. "Who is this old servant?" His countless observation techniques activated instantly—in his perception, the Silver River Sovereign was a terrifying avatar formed from a blood river, heavy and vast. Yet this old servant was like an abyss, utterly inscrutable.

Luo Feng and Mo Luo Sa both turned toward the outside—they felt a terrifying power radiating from afar, already reaching the Origin Continent's power limit! Yet no disturbance stirred the heavens; the world remained utterly silent.

He couldn't penetrate the Silver River Sovereign—but he couldn't penetrate this old servant either.

Recently, sixteen Divine Kings had defected to him—two of whom Luo Feng knew well: Gui Xu and Yun Tian Divine King!

Luo Feng tried selling the other three artifacts left by Yuan—the cloak, boots, and gloves. But the Two-Realm Palace Master and the Ten-Thousand Methods Tower Master both dismissed them.

"Cultivators are diverse, each with unique methods. When you first leave the Origin Continent, you won't know many of their tricks—you'll fall into traps easily," the Time-Space Old Devil said with a smile.

Gui Xu had a blood feud with Emperor Yan and others—Luo Feng supported his revenge!

"The Silver River Divine Nation has been established for some time. I'm sure the three alien races have already visited this Sovereign—he must understand the world beyond the Source World well." Emperor Qing gazed outward. "It's time to meet this Silver River Sovereign."

"I'm not even at Ultimate Realm yet—I'm still too weak." Luo Feng's arrogance from his invincible power on the Origin Continent had faded. Still, he knew his strengths and weaknesses.

Luo Feng was stunned: "Some Source Worlds?"

"Extremely dangerous."

Gui Xu bowed deeply. "I sincerely wish to follow you, Sovereign. Please accept me."

Yun Tian Divine King was a female Divine King of the Wheelhouse Pavilion. She had come with her consort, voluntarily joining the Silver River Divine Nation! Since her feud with the Thunder Ancient Nation, she had been in hiding and never revealed her consort. Now, finally, the couple could live together openly.

Those easy to kill were already dead. The rest are too formidable—Emperor Yan, Emperor Xi, Emperor Wu… even Gui Xu saw no hope of revenge against them.

Emperor Qing smiled. "I was wondering how two powerful beings rose simultaneously on the Origin Continent. So this old servant is a Jieshou. Silver River Sovereign, truly extraordinary—you've raised a Jieshou."

"Emperor Qing, greetings to the Silver River Sovereign." A cold voice rang out. With a single thought, one could reach any point within the Source World.

"Hm?"

Revenge was too difficult.

Emperor Qing Palace.

"Is the outside world dangerous?" Luo Feng asked.

"The Source World is a cradle—it protects the Source Life."

Luo Feng had to be cautious.

"When I reveal my true identity someday, I wonder what Gui Xu will think."

Emperor Qing ascended to a nine-story pavilion within the palace, where Luo Feng had already prepared a banquet, and Mo Luo Sa stood beside him, serving.

Emperor Qing stepped inside.

Luo Feng, clad in silver robes with a golden mask, sat upon his throne, gazing down and nodding slightly. "I've heard of the matter of Li He Divine King."

The Source World—a colossal entity governed by supreme rules—could still be swallowed?

"Beyond the Source World is cruel," the Time-Space Old Devil said, watching Luo Feng. "I too must seize every opportunity to break through and teleport to various Source Worlds, hoping to gain more opportunities to advance further on the cultivation path."

"Nothing is absolute," the Time-Space Old Devil sneered. "Even the supreme rules can't even save themselves!"

The capital, inside the palace.

"Who is it?" Luo Feng thought, and a faint crimson tide rose around the capital, blocking the immense invisible force.

…

Vast yet restrained. "Master, I sense this opponent is terrifying—I'm no match." Mo Luo Sa trembled. Before this terrifying power, he couldn't hold out long—he'd be obliterated.

His weakness: his realm is still low—only Divine King Level Two.

"Sovereign," Gui Xu's eyes glowed red with emotion. "In my past life, I was Li He Divine King. I bore a blood feud with Emperor Yan, Emperor Xi, and Emperor Wu of Yanfeng Ancient Nation. My wife, three sons, two daughters, and entire clan were slaughtered by those three Emperors. After reincarnation, I've sought revenge ever since. But I've targeted only their three bloodlines—I've never harmed others."

"Lately, my Divine Kings have been increasing," Luo Feng thought.

He stood there, yet with a single thought, invisible power crossed vast distances and arrived at the Silver River Divine Nation's capital.

The Silver River Divine Nation, nearly equal in status to the two Ancient Nations, naturally attracted enemies of both who came to defect.

"Emperor Qing's visit is an honor to the Silver River Divine Nation," Luo Feng's voice echoed—the palace gates swung wide open.

Luo Feng was bewildered.

"The innate Hunyuan life Zuqun is vast and immensely powerful—far surpassing our cultivator Zuqun," the Time-Space Old Devil said. "Senior Yuan and others are resisting them. But overall, we are at a disadvantage."

Watching Gui Xu leave, Luo Feng found it amusing.

Only two steps.

"I've witnessed a colossal entity storm into a world where cultivators gathered. Our Hunyuan life couldn't stop it—we were torn apart." The Time-Space Old Devil said. "I immediately annihilated my avatar and barely escaped. The inhabitants of that world… few survived."

"I value loyalty and righteousness; I despise treachery." Luo Feng looked down. "Gui Xu, from today, you are a member of the Silver River Divine Nation."

"Even my home avatar dies?" Luo Feng was startled. "Even the supreme rules can't protect it?"

The Emperors of Yanfeng Ancient Nation, the Monarchs of Thunder Ancient Nation… Luo Feng admired some, disliked others, and harbored murderous intent toward a very few.

His strength: the Dao of Creation and Destruction, as a fused Dao, manifests overwhelming power—it's a path far surpassing others at the same level. And he still had the Star Tower to contemplate.

"The outside world is the land of darkness."

The Time-Space Old Devil departed. The Two-Realm Palace Master and the Ten-Thousand Methods Tower Master also visited Luo Feng! Clearly, they believed his power might allow him to obtain special life relics and secret techniques.

Even those at the pinnacle—Yuan and others—struggled against even greater forces.

Luo Feng listened carefully.

"It's a being beyond Divine King," Luo Feng said.

The more he learned, the heavier Luo Feng's heart grew.

"As far as I know, some Source Worlds have been swallowed by the innate Hunyuan life Zuqun," the Time-Space Old Devil sighed.

At Emperor Qing's level, a Jieshou meant nothing.

A Jieshou cannot break its fate's limit—it will forever remain at Ultimate Realm!
