Chapter 250: The Sixth Volume: Di Qing

Luo Feng was also observing Di Qing, and through the domain formed by the Star Tower, he could sense the sharpness contained within Di Qing—even his Infinite Blood River had no confidence in stopping that terrifying edge.

"No wonder he's the only God-King above in the Origin Continent in this era," Luo Feng thought silently.

The Ancestors of both nations, the Ancestor of the Eastern Pole Realm, were not from this age.

"His talent is a generational leap, far surpassing all other cultivators," Luo Feng understood this clearly; excluding himself, Di Qing was the most terrifying in this era, followed by the Sovereign of the Ultimate Realm, then Di Fu, Di Ming, the Wind Capital Empress, the Fire Ancestor, and others.

Di Qing's eyes held only Luo Feng, utterly indifferent to the Boundary Beasts.

Because the minimum threshold to teleport out of the Source World was an "Ultimate Realm lifeform," countless elites from the Source World and countless other worlds had gathered beyond it, where Ultimate Realm status was merely the baseline—he naturally paid no mind to a single Boundary Beast.

"I thought this era of the Origin Continent had produced only me and the Sovereign of the Ten Thousand Worlds," Di Qing's eyes burned with heat. "Who knew that as the Origin Continent neared its end, the Galactic Sovereign emerged? Hah! Truly a great blessing."

Both originating from the Origin Continent, they were clearly the most suitable life companions.

In the outside world, a trustworthy companion was exceedingly rare!

"If you don't mind, I'll call you Galactic Younger Brother," Di Qing smiled at Luo Feng.

"Of course," Luo Feng said. The thirteen Emperor Lords of Yanfeng Ancient Nation each had vastly different styles! Di Qing belonged to the most brilliant type—extraordinary talent, leaving all others far behind! He disdained the Primordial Bloodline, disdained devouring living beings and other heretical paths; merely by comprehending the operation of cosmic laws, he naturally reached the Ultimate Realm.

Even while cultivating within the Origin Continent, he broke through the Ultimate Realm and reached God-King Above!

Reaching this level certainly benefited from abundant resources.

Yet the other Emperor Lords and Monarchs of the two imperial clans, who had equal or greater resource access, had not produced a single Ultimate Realm cultivator! This alone revealed… how terrifying Di Qing's talent truly was.

"Di Yuan's fate was his own fault," Di Qing didn't care. "He was insatiably greedy, devouring countless lives and causing much trouble! Such a useless waste who only brings disaster—I would've killed him long ago by my nature. But the ancestral rules of the Yanfeng Imperial Clan were set by the Ancestor; I cannot alter them."

Luo Feng was startled—he hadn't come to provoke, yet believed Di Yuan deserved to die?

"The Ancestor was lenient, believing the Dao has countless paths and need not be overly restrained," Di Qing shook his head with a smile. "Enough of that. Today, I came to invite you, Galactic Younger Brother, to leave the Origin Continent—then we can journey together beyond."

"Invite me… to join forces?" Luo Feng was surprised.

"Beyond, danger lies everywhere," Di Qing looked at Luo Feng. "Alien races cannot be trusted—they may betray you at any moment. You and I both come from the Origin Continent; even when the Origin Continent enters its next age… we'll still leave avatars here, destined to coexist for endless eons. Naturally, we're the most trustworthy."

"Like the Yanfeng Ancestor and Lei Ting Ancestor—they were inseparable companions for endless eons, and it was their mutual support that brought them to where they are today," Di Qing looked at Luo Feng. "I need a trustworthy companion, one with sufficient strength."

"I heard teleporting out of the Origin Continent leads to different places?" Luo Feng said. "We might not even meet up."

"I have coordinates of a Primordial Space—I can lock the destination. I can send an avatar to teleport with you, ensuring we arrive in the same world," Di Qing said. "When I first teleported, it was to this world—I've rooted myself here for eons and have some foundation. With me, your start will be far smoother."

Luo Feng was deeply tempted.

But he wasn't even an Ultimate Realm lifeform—he had no right to leave the Origin Continent.

"The Origin Continent is too small for us," Di Qing urged warmly. "Beyond the Source World! There, you'll find powerful beings from countless other Source Worlds, and from billions of other worlds… that's where we belong."

"I'm currently cultivating a secret technique," Luo Feng considered and said. "Once I complete it, I'll leave the Origin Continent."

"A secret technique?" Di Qing asked. "How long?"

At their level, if one devoted themselves to mastering a powerful secret technique, a hundred million or even a billion eons was normal.

"About a thousand eons," Luo Feng said.

Luo Feng had obtained materials from three Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline creatures—he naturally wanted to elevate his World Lifeform to a higher level! Those Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline creatures, despite low intelligence, possessed such power. If he completed this technique, his physical body alone might rival a God-King Above!

Combined with deeper mastery of the Life-Death Dao, Luo Feng felt he could then attempt to venture beyond the Source World and see what lay out there.

Most crucially… to pass through the teleportation gateway, one must be at least an Ultimate Realm lifeform—that was the fixed threshold.

"Only about a thousand eons?" Di Qing laughed. "No rush, Galactic Younger Brother, cultivate well, perfect your technique, then we'll depart together."

Luo Feng nodded.

Based on the intelligence he'd gathered about Di Qing and his current interactions, Di Qing was suitable as a companion.

Most importantly, both came from the Origin Continent! In the future, they'd coexist for a long time, and they must consider their kin and disciples—sharing the same Source World meant betrayal was extremely unlikely.

"If you don't mind, Galactic Younger Brother, shall we spar?" Di Qing looked at Luo Feng. "Our clash will show all factions of the Origin Continent—so they'll never dare oppose you again."

"A spar? Fine," Luo Feng was also eager.

"Good. Let's go beyond the continent, into the Cosmic Sea," Di Qing said. "That way, no innocents will be harmed."

Luo Feng nodded.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Side by side, they crossed the infinite distance and entered the "Cosmic Sea" beyond the Origin Continent's landmass. This vast expanse of Cosmic Sea, near the Origin Continent, held no life whatsoever.

"After you," Di Qing smiled. He had fought countless battles beyond, faced countless world's Qiangzhe —under the Origin Continent's power restrictions, Di Qing felt no pressure.

He was merely curious about the strength of this "future companion"—and he hoped his companion would be as strong as possible!

Luo Feng stood there.

"Watch out," Luo Feng's battle aura surged—this was a rare opponent! With a thought, he transformed into the Infinite Blood River, its crimson torrents surging instantly across an infinite expanse.

The Blood River's domain formed its own world! Its length and width had no end—anyone lacking sufficient strength could never escape its bounds.

"Break!"

Di Qing stood motionless, yet countless terrifying sword lights erupted from him, slicing outward in all directions.

These sword lights were refined to perfection, severing all obstacles—even the operation of cosmic laws could be cut! Even Luo Feng's thick Infinite Blood River, where each current resembled a world, was still severed by these sword lights.

Nineteen sword lights cut through everything, even piercing through the Blood River's domain and striking the surrounding Cosmic Sea.

"Boom—!" The Cosmic Sea was slashed open, revealing void chasms and long cracks in the Source World's membrane.

The overwhelming might of these nineteen sword lights, unhidden and unrestrained, instantly stirred every God-King on the Origin Continent.

In one by one

"This—"

"This power?"

Every God-King on the Origin Continent sensed a force capable of effortlessly annihilating them, erupting at the continent's edge, somewhere in the Cosmic Sea. Instantly, they all tried to spy.

Powerful God-Kings could use secret techniques to observe from afar.

Weaker God-Kings relied on Yanfeng Guild or Lei Ting Trading House's surveillance images.

"The Galactic Sovereign and Di Qing are fighting."

"Did Di Qing come to defend Yanfeng Ancient Nation? To avenge Di Yuan?"

All factions were stirred.

"Di Qing has acted!" Emperor Yan, Emperor Kong, Emperor Wu, and other Emperor Lords were all excited—they had full confidence in Di Qing.

"Di Qing said even he couldn't overcome the Galactic Sovereign—then why act now?" Emperor Fu gazed from afar at the scene.

…

"Luo Feng!" Among the many God-Kings watching, there was also Zuo Shan Ke.

Zuo Shan Ke had long known the identity of the Black Robe, Golden Masked warrior.

"Luo Feng's strength can overpower eight Emperor Lords working together. How will he fare against Di Qing?" Zuo Shan Ke was tense, yet still confident in his disciple.

His disciple's talent surpassed even Di Qing and the Sovereign of the Ten Thousand Worlds.

Arriving on the Origin Continent, he had grown to this level in merely a few hundred eons! What terrifying potential did this talent hold?

…

In the Cosmic Sea near the landmass.

Luo Feng could sense the countless God-Kings spying from afar—he understood Di Qing's intent! He wanted to make a grand spectacle, to make every faction truly comprehend the power of the "Galactic Sovereign."

"If you have power, let them see it," Di Qing stood there. "Once they see clearly, they'll behave themselves."

Outside the Infinite Blood River stood nineteen sword lights, naturally forming a vast sword array!

"Di Qing Brother's sword array is indeed formidable—it easily tears through my Blood River," Luo Feng remarked.

"Water fears nothing more than being cut," Di Qing laughed. "I slashed nineteen times, yet your Infinite Blood River lost not a single ounce of power. But now, I'll be serious."

"This sword array is called the 'Three Thousand Killing Array,' forged by absorbing the mysteries of an ancient witch array. Though bound by the Supreme Laws and limited in power, its subtleties can be fully displayed," Di Qing smiled. "Take this."

As soon as he spoke,

the vast sword array erupted—countless sword lights converged and rotated, transforming the entire array into black and white, seeking to annihilate the entire Blood River.

Yet the Infinite Blood River was immensely thick; no matter how fiercely the black-and-white sword lights twisted and slashed, they could only barely destroy parts of the Blood River, while crimson threads slowly corroded the sword lights, causing them to crumble.

"A Blood River of Life?" Di Qing instantly judged. "Each thread of this Blood River carries terrifying vitality—once it clings, it can even corrode and destroy my sword lights."
