Chapter 259: The Sixth Volume: The Primordial Ancestor Lei Ting

Lei Ting, the Primordial Ancestor, sat cross-legged, his gaze cold and profound.

“He can peer into my secluded slumbering haven? And send voice through space?” Lei Ting pondered.

“Yan Feng.”

Lei Ting, using a transmission talisman, sent a distant voice: “How much do you know about the Lord of the Milky Way?”

Yan Feng, startled, replied via voice transmission: “What’s happened? I’ve never dealt with the Lord of the Milky Way. All the intelligence I have is what you already know—public information.”

“Just now, he directly sent his voice into my secluded slumbering haven,” Lei Ting said solemnly.

Yan Feng, upon hearing this, was stunned.

In their wanderings beyond the Source World, they must clash with mighty beings from billions of worlds and battle countless inferior Hunyuan lifeforms. Thus, they all place great importance on the security of their dwelling places. Numerous talismans, secret treasures, and protective arrays are sold for this purpose.

Whether Yan Feng or Lei Ting, both would certainly guard their cultivation and slumbering sanctuaries with extreme care.

“We can be certain—he has not escaped the cage,” Lei Ting murmured. “Therefore, to accomplish this, he must possess an extremely powerful secret treasure.”

“You mean… one of the true top-tier treasures of the Infinite Space?” Yan Feng guessed.

The Infinite Space’s treasury—treasures worth at least 100,000 reward points—are famed even beyond the Source World! Many “Semi-Hunyuan Lifeforms” spare no cost to acquire such items.

But such treasures are exceedingly difficult to obtain.

Take Di Ming: through outstanding performance in mental will, he accumulated over 110,000 reward points. Yet Dao comprehension is the foundation! Di Ming unhesitatingly exchanged some for the most suitable inheritance for himself. Thus, his remaining reward points were insufficient to acquire a treasure worth “at least 100,000 reward points.”

For Di Ming himself, this was the most fitting choice.

His “Dao comprehension” was weak. Even under elite inheritance guidance, with royal resources, and under supreme mental will, he could not attain a complete Dao. So he chose Hunyuan bloodline cultivation—unlocking the potential of Hunyuan bloodline is far easier than comprehending Dao. Though Di Ming never reached the Ultimate Realm, one-on-one, he could even slay most Emperor Lords and Sovereigns.

Lei Ting, in his prime, had accumulated only several ten thousand reward points.

Yan Feng barely surpassed 100,000 reward points—but he, too, spent heavily on inheritance.

Luo Feng, however, accumulated over 200,000 reward points before exchanging for the “Eye of Birth and Death.”

“I’ve heard most of the true top-tier treasures of the Infinite Space are forbidden to be taken out of the Source World,” Yan Feng transmitted. “Of the few that can be taken out, cultivators rarely carry them.”

“The treasures available on the open market are usually worth several ten thousand reward points. Those over 100,000 are exceedingly rare. Even if one appears, it won’t reach us.”

Amidst countless Source Worlds and billions of worlds, where mighty beings gather, Yan Feng and Lei Ting appear ordinary.

“Indeed. Such treasures are generally forbidden to leave the Source World. Within the Source World, we cannot touch the Lord of the Milky Way,” Lei Ting muttered, his eyes burning with envy.

Compared to relics of special lifeforms or the secret methods passed down by Yuan, the Infinite Space’s treasures worth “at least 100,000 reward points” are the most extraordinary.

Yet, across many eras, only one such treasure emerges rarely.

“If he dares to publicly reveal this ability, he isn’t afraid we’ll target him,” Yan Feng said. “His public display suggests… this treasure of his cannot be taken out at all.”

“Mm.” Lei Ting agreed with his friend’s guess.

“Why did he come to you?” Yan Feng pressed.

“It’s about Bai Mo and Lan Duo,” Lei Ting briefly explained the matter.

Yan Feng understood: “They say the Lord of the Milky Way despises evil with a passion—truly so. He wants to kill Bai Mo and Lan Duo, but they’re on Lei Mountain, so he can’t reach them. That’s why he’s asking you to handle it.”

“Me to handle it?” Lei Ting frowned. “He can’t kill them himself, so he wants me to?”

“The choice is yours,” Yan Feng transmitted. “Kill them, and he’ll owe you a favor. Don’t kill them… the Lord of the Milky Way despises evil. He won’t let it go.”

Lei Ting smiled: “You’re right—the choice is mine!”

…

On Lei Mountain, within an ancient hall.

“Primordial Ancestor.”

Eight Sovereigns knelt in reverence, daring not to raise their eyes to the figure above.

Lei Ting looked down, his gaze cold.

For the Lord of the Milky Way, he felt caution, anger, resentment, jealousy—many emotions. But before these kneeling Sovereigns, he felt nothing at all.

“Bai Mo, Lan Duo—do you know your crimes?” Lei Ting spoke calmly.

Bai Mo and Lan Duo trembled inwardly.

They felt dazed.

They dared plunder within the Lei Ancient Kingdom precisely because they understood their Primordial Ancestor’s nature! The Ancestor stood far above them—even Sovereigns were beneath his notice. The deaths of ordinary royal Shenwang meant nothing to him.

As for the countless lives within the entire ancient kingdom, as long as they didn’t disrupt its operation, the Ancestor didn’t care.

The total lives they plundered amounted to roughly one-twentieth of the wildlands! Given time, they would naturally repopulate.

“We know our crimes!”

Though filled with thoughts, Bai Mo and Lan Duo answered without hesitation, bowing deeply, daring not to utter a single word of protest.

To protest would mean instant annihilation—worse than the consequence of plundering countless lives.

“Since you know your crimes, from today you shall go to the Pillar Realm. Either obtain a relic of a special lifeform, or acquire a naturally born secret treasure.” Lei Ting spoke calmly. “If you fail, you shall perish along with the Origin Continent.”

Bai Mo and Lan Duo were stunned.

What?

Fail to obtain a treasure, and die?

Even if they chose reincarnation, when the Origin Continent fell into stillness, they would still die.

“Yes.” Bai Mo and Lan Duo, filled with anguish and resentment, could only obediently accept the decree. Lei Ting cast them a cold glance, then vanished from his throne.

These two Sovereigns were his carefully cultivated tools—how could he afford to kill them lightly? Better to squeeze their potential: if they obtained a relic of a special lifeform, it was a great profit; even a naturally born secret treasure was a small gain.

“Bai Mo, Lan Duo—you plundered in the border kingdoms, fine. But plundering within our ancient kingdom… now the Primordial Ancestor punishes you severely. You must atone well!”

“You two have been too reckless.”

The other Sovereigns felt no sympathy.

Bai Mo and Lan Duo said nothing, turned, and left the hall.

…

In Huyang City, within a quiet chamber of the Lord’s mansion, inside the Star Tower.

Luo Feng’s “Eye of Birth and Death” opened upon his forehead, gazing far toward Lei Mountain.

In his observation:

Please... collect_(!)

He could see the past at different time points. Countless past moments of “worlds” formed a continuous, vast video—Luo Feng could easily observe these past “videos.”

Even birds leave traces!

Every past experience leaves an imprint in spacetime. But the stronger one is, the more perfectly one conceals oneself. Generally, those who master a complete Dao conceal themselves flawlessly.

Yet Luo Feng’s Eye of Birth and Death is a higher Hunyuan lifeform’s observational ability, beyond the cage.

Even Lei Ting and Yan Feng could not fully conceal their traces from him. Of course, he could not spy on their communications through transmission talismans.

“Hmm?”

As Luo Feng observed past time points, he easily spotted the scene within the towering hall atop Lei Mountain—Lei Ting summoning the Sovereigns.

“Send them to the Pillar Realm, force them to obtain a relic of a special lifeform or a naturally born secret treasure?” Luo Feng frowned. “And not a single one of their underlings is punished?”

Earlier, while reviewing the memories of Shenwang Jiu Chen, he had seen countless memories—countless lives delivered to Lan Duo.

Lan Duo opened his mouth—and devoured countless lives.

Those scenes had already stirred Luo Feng’s killing intent.

He had long decided:

He must kill them. But under Lei Mountain’s protection, under Lei Ting’s protection, he was troubled. That’s why he contacted Lei Ting.

“I revealed a bit of my special ability, yet Lei Ting still paid it no mind,” Luo Feng shook his head. “Enough. Better to rely on oneself—time to act personally.”

“Acting personally… I have no guarantee of success.”

“But I must try!”

For the countless lives devoured.

For the future—so that no strong ones on the Origin Continent dare devour lives so recklessly again.

Luo Feng resolved to give everything—no matter the cost!

…

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two figures crossed vast distances, arriving at one entrance to the sacred land known as the Pillar Realm.

“It’s all your fault,” Lan Duo growled. “Because of your instigation, I joined you. Who knew this would enrage the Primordial Ancestor?”

“You took the benefits, now you blame me?” Bai Mo sneered. “You still have a clone on Lei Mountain. I have no clone—I must risk my true body deep within the Pillar Realm.”

“When the Origin Continent falls into stillness, if I fail to obtain a treasure, I still die?” Lan Duo was furious.

As a Sovereign, he could have left the Origin Continent to wander beyond.

“No one forced you to plunder billions of lives, devour billions of lives,” Bai Mo replied with disdain.

As they spoke, they entered the Pillar Realm’s entrance.

At the Pillar Realm’s entrance, both ancient kingdoms stationed guardians—Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom’s guardian… was Luo Feng.

“That’s Shenwang Luo He,” Bai Mo and Lan Duo glanced at Luo Feng from afar, then ignored him—they were both in bad moods.

Whoosh.

The two Sovereigns flew deep into the Pillar Realm.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged, guarding his post, glancing at the two Sovereigns: “Finally arrived!”

At the same moment—

Huyang City.

“They’ve entered the Pillar Realm,” Luo Feng’s Eye of Birth and Death gazed far away.

Whoa!

With a single step.

With his first step, Luo Feng arrived at the entrance to the Pillar Realm.

With his second step, Luo Feng smashed through the two ancient kingdoms’ arrays blocking the Pillar Realm’s entrance and appeared before Bai Mo Junzhu and Lan Duo Junzhu.

“Huh?” Bai Mo Junzhu and Lan Duo Junzhu stared in shock at the silver-robed, golden-masked man before them, their hearts turning cold.
