Chapter 255: Episode 6: Second Rebirth Realm of the Life-Death Dao
Luo Feng contemplates the deep-layer secret patterns of the Star Tower. Countless secret patterns swirl and go deep; when he even peers into the extremely deep reaches, time begins to stagnate, and then the deeper secret patterns begin to glow with color.
The end to which the swirling colored secret patterns lead is that blood-colored scale with twelve colors on its edge.
This blood-colored scale is like the supreme rule.
It is supreme.
It is indestructible, eternally undying.
"The core of the Star Tower's secret patterns is 'the heaviness, firmness, and eternal undying nature of life'." Luo Feng has watched it too many times; looking directly at the blood-colored scale will only cause constant impact and pollution to his mental will.
Luo Feng temporarily withdraws from observation and begins to circulate his own power.
"Hum."
An illusory high tower appears, in the shape of a triangular cone. The illusory high tower gradually condenses, its surface secret patterns flowing.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, this illusory high tower collapses.
"Why is it so difficult to create a 'nine-branch fusion secret technique'?" Luo Feng sighs softly.
Just like an ordinary God King Second Rebirth Realm practitioner, creating some peak God King Second Rebirth Realm secret techniques is not difficult, but creating an "Ultimate Realm Secret Technique" causes the difficulty to soar immediately! Like the Guixu Emperor, God King Brother Wu Xin, some Emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, and the Monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, they have spent endless years only to create a few Ultimate Realm secret techniques.
The same logic applies.
For the eight-branch fusion moves of the Life-Death Dao, Luo Feng has created nine secret techniques to date.
Moves like the previous "Great Extinction Style," "Heavenly Light Silver Shuttle," "Black Light Evasion Method," "Dropping Blood," and "Cage" have all been perfected to the eight-branch fusion level.
"Eight-branch fusion is already very easy for me; I've already created nine secret techniques. But for nine-branch fusion moves, I can't create even one." Luo Feng shakes his head gently.
The nine-branch fusion moves of the Life-Death Dao belong to the Ultimate Realm moves of the Life-Death Dao. The difficulty is much higher than eight-branch moves.
On the contrary, for the Life Dao and Destruction Dao, because there is accurate Dao guidance, Luo Feng has also exchanged for Destruction Scales and Lotus Heart Seeds, and now he can create Ultimate Realm secret techniques.
"For the pure Life Dao and Destruction Dao, their Ultimate Realm secret techniques do not feel difficult."
"For the fused Life-Death Dao, nine-branch fusion... is extremely difficult."
Luo Feng attempts to condense an illusory Star Tower with his own power.
The illusory Star Tower protects his body! Pursuing the limit of defense!
"Why is the illusory Star Tower I condense a triangular cone? Instead of the shape of a nine-story high tower?" Luo Feng also realizes that he is still very far off; even if the nine branches truly fuse, it is only a little bit of the Star Tower's fur.
Luo Feng can only settle his heart and cultivate diligently.
"Where exactly is the problem with the illusory Star Tower? Why can it not be stabilized?" Luo Feng carefully studies the mysteries of the secret patterns, and time passes day by day.
Suddenly, one day—
Long-term contemplation and accumulation lead to a qualitative change.
In Luo Feng's mind, four of the branches of the Life-Death Dao—the "Heavenly Light Branch," "Dropping Blood Branch," "Walker Branch," and "Eternal Branch"—suddenly fuse perfectly into one, with no more confusion.
The Life-Death Dao thus steps into the God King Second Rebirth Realm!
From this point on, Luo Feng is in the God King Second Rebirth Realm on all three paths: Life, Destruction, and Life-Death. Of course, the first two paths are much easier, and he has created several Ultimate Realm secret techniques for them.
"Hahaha, I created nine types of 'eight-branch fusion moves' before the Life-Death Dao stepped into the God King Second Rebirth Realm. Without accurate Dao reference, the requirement for accumulation is indeed much higher." Luo Feng is in a great mood. "I wonder how high a reward the Infinite Space can give."
The Infinite Space attaches great importance to mental will and opening up the Dao.
Infinite Space.
On an island in the middle of a lake, there are no mental creatures here, only one of Luo Feng's avatars, with mist spreading to cover most of the lake.
"Life-Death Dao Second Rebirth Realm." Luo Feng sits cross-legged on the shore of the island, looking at the lake before him. With a single thought, he begins to display the mysteries of the Dao.
Whoosh.
A wisp of power flies out from Luo Feng, tracing a trajectory in mid-air, easily cutting through the space layers, and even cutting black cracks into the most fundamental membrane of the Infinite Space. Only then does this wisp of power condense into a drop of blood.
This drop of blood turns into a star, slowly rolling between heaven and earth, causing heaven and earth to tremble.
Afterward, this tiny star turns into a dark abyss, naturally beginning to devour in all directions.
The dark abyss collapses, turning into a point of light. Once the point of light forms, a terrifying domain spreads in all directions.
With just a wisp of power, he fully displays the many mysteries of the four branches of the Life-Death Dao: the "Heavenly Light Branch," "Dropping Blood Branch," "Walker Branch," and "Eternal Branch." Only by fully understanding the mysteries can one be so free and easy, allowing the four branches to fuse and change at will.
Finally—
"Hum."
A piece of information is transmitted from the mark on Luo Feng's palm.
"Trial-taker: Origin Continent Luo Feng"
"Based on the two Daos of Life and Destruction, you have opened up a new Dao. Evaluation of the new Dao: Special Grade. Reward points: 100,000. On the new Dao, you have finally taken the second step; you still need to work hard to completely master this Dao."
"Before mastering a complete Dao, your mental will successfully broke through the God King limit. Evaluation of mental will: Special Grade. Reward points: 100,000. Your mental will is very excellent. Perhaps, you can take another step?"
"Reminder: It is forbidden to kill any mental creatures. Violators will be completely expelled from the Infinite Space."
"Total reward points: 184,193.03." Luo Feng understands the content of this information and is quite invigorated.
Opening up a new Dao and reaching the God King Second Rebirth Realm rewards 100,000 points! Counting the 100,000 points received when his mental will reached the level surpassing the God King, this total of 200,000 points is his largest fortune.
Since coming to the Infinite Space, Luo Feng has always been cautious in using reward points.
Large expenditures are mainly for Lotus Heart Seeds and Destruction Scales!
As for exchanging for inheritance, it is mainly for God King First Rebirth Realm and God King Second Rebirth Realm inheritance! He has not been willing to exchange for overly expensive inheritance to this day.
"I cannot kill any mental creatures, so the only way to get reward points... is to open up the Dao and continue to improve my mental will." Luo Feng thinks.
"Looking at the information description, completely mastering the 'Life-Death Dao' should have rewards."
But Luo Feng also understands one point.
Daos like Time, Space, Life, Immeasurable, Destruction, etc., exist within the supreme rules. Even so, in the long years of the Origin Continent, only two people have been able to enlighten a complete Dao on their own: Di Qing and the Myriad Worlds Kingdom Master!
The Life-Death Dao has no reference! To enlighten the complete "Life-Death Dao"... the difficulty can be imagined.
"Ordinary Daos have guidance. Those Emperors and Monarchs who have enlightened five or six Ultimate Realm secret techniques might not necessarily be able to enlighten the Dao. From this, it can be inferred that the Life-Death Dao has no guidance; it is estimated that one must enlighten at least ten Ultimate Realm secret techniques to have hope of enlightening the Dao."

"What is the so-called 'taking another step' for mental will?" Luo Feng is somewhat confused.
Before mastering the Dao, his mental will reached the God Emperor level, and the evaluation was Special Grade.
Then, for a higher step, what else could there be?
"Forget it."
Luo Feng begins to check the Infinite Space treasury.
"Hmm?" Luo Feng is somewhat surprised. "The 'God King Ultimate Chapter' of the Perfect Grade inheritance, still cannot be seen?"
Perfect Grade inheritance, God King Second Rebirth Realm chapter, generally requires 10,000 reward points. The Ultimate Chapter? With Luo Feng's current reward points, he is not qualified to see it.
According to the Infinite Space pricing model, the Ultimate Realm chapter is generally 20 times that of the God King Second Rebirth Realm chapter.
"Both of my evaluations are Special Grade, and I am not qualified to see the 'Ultimate Realm Chapter of the Perfect Grade inheritance.' What kind of genius is needed to be qualified to learn the Perfect Grade inheritance Ultimate Chapter?" Luo Feng sighs secretly.
"By relying on 'Formless and Faceless,' the Ultimate Realm Hunyuan bloodline creatures on the Origin Continent are the limit of my transformations." Luo Feng thinks. "And I do not cultivate the Material Origin Dao, so there is no need to exchange for the Ultimate Realm Chapter of 'World Lifeform'."
These reward points must be used on the cutting edge.
Luo Feng carefully looks at the information on each inheritance.
"Look at the treasure information."
Luo Feng is very interested in those treasures, because according to what Di Qing said, treasures starting at 100,000 reward points are all helpful for "jumping out of the cage" and are also things that outside practitioners desperately want to obtain.
The number one treasure is a sword, requiring 180,000 reward points to exchange.
This sword is a sword forged from the materials of a Hunyuan Ancestor's corpse. It is suitable for practitioners of the Thunder Dao, Destruction Dao, and Material Dao to exchange, and contemplating it offers hope of jumping out of the cage.
Reminder: Such treasures are suitable for contemplating within the source world; they must not be brought out of the source world, otherwise there will be endless trouble!
The number two treasure is the Space-Time Mirror, requiring 180,000 reward points to exchange.
This is a precious mirror refined by collecting rare treasures from the Hunyuan Space. By relying on this mirror, one can retain memories and reincarnate into any source world without being rejected by the supreme rules of any source world.
Cultivating in different source worlds under different supreme rules is of great benefit to cultivation.
Reminder: 1. Practitioners of the Time Dao or Space Dao are suitable for exchanging for this treasure. Practitioners of other Daos will have lower gains from exchanging.
2. This treasure must not be brought out of the source world.
One treasure after another leaves Luo Feng dumbfounded.
"In the two items of opening up the Dao and mental will, even if I get Special Grade evaluations for all, I would have very few reward points left after exchanging for one such treasure." Luo Feng feels the high threshold for exchanging for such treasures.
In Senior Yuan's arrangements, even an incredibly dazzling peerless genius can only exchange for one such treasure!
"Only if the talent is high enough can one not waste such treasures."
Luo Feng continues to look.
Suddenly—
The number 34 treasure, the Eye of Life-Death, requires 120,000 reward points to exchange.
This is an eye, the "Eye of Life-Death," refined from the complete corpse of a world-level Hunyuan lifeform, the "Life-Death Pupil Beast." By relying on this eye, one can peer into the "vitality" of all things, and can also peer into the "destruction weaknesses" of all things.
Practitioners of the Life and Destruction Daos are suitable for exchanging for it, and can use it to contemplate the mysteries of life and destruction, which is helpful for jumping out of the cage.
Reminder: This treasure must not be brought out of the source world.
"Good treasure." Luo Feng's heart is burning.
Other high-ranking treasures also have those suitable for Destruction and those suitable for Life.
The Eye of Life-Death, however, is suitable for both Life and Destruction.
