Chapter 261: Chapter Six: Ultimate Lifeform

On the boundless grasslands of the hidden, vast world within Thunder Mountain, the Thunder Ancestor sat cross-legged, calmly observing the golden finger bone.

“Hmm?”

The Thunder Ancestor sensed the arrival of the Sovereigns to pay their respects.

“What’s going on?” With a single thought, he immediately traced the karmic threads and temporal traces, quickly learning of the conflict that had occurred within the Pillar World.

“A fine galaxy!” The Thunder Ancestor roared in fury. “I’ve already shown him face—I punished Bai Mo and Lan Duo! Yet he remains unsatisfied, even acting with his own hands. He doesn’t respect me at all!”

The Thunder Ancestor was furious!

Outside the Source World, danger lurked everywhere, and powerful beings were countless—he, the Thunder Ancestor, had to tread carefully, with utmost caution, fearing he might invite great trouble.

But within the Origin Continent, the Thunder Ancestor was relaxed! Here, no one, no matter who, could harm even a single hair on his body!

“Outside the Source World, I must endure, endure, endure.”

“Within the Origin Continent, no one can force me to endure!” The Thunder Ancestor was now enraged.

His cultivation path was, at its core, wild and arrogant! The more he suppressed himself outside the Source World, the more he could not tolerate the slightest defiance within the Origin Continent. If his Sovereigns dared to contradict him, they would be reduced to ashes on the spot!

Luo Feng sent word, demanding he handle it himself! Though he knew the Galaxy Sovereign’s methods were strange and unpredictable, he still refused to fully comply with the Galaxy Sovereign’s wishes.

When acting within the Origin Continent, he sought his own satisfaction! Only the Flame Wind Ancestor might make him temper his temper.

“A mere youngster who has never set foot beyond the Source World dares to be so insolent before me! I’ll see just what kind of backbone you have!” The Thunder Ancestor instantly burst out of the hidden space.

Boom.

Almost instantly.

Vast, furious thunderous power had already descended upon the capital of the Galaxy Divine Nation.

“Roaring~~~” Countless lightning serpents writhed, spreading in all directions, their might enveloping every region around the Galaxy Capital.

“Galaxy! Come out!” A furious roar echoed through the nine heavens, filling every living being in the capital and surrounding wastelands with dread.

“The Ancestor has acted!”

“It’s the Ancestor!”

The Sovereigns atop Thunder Mountain had been preparing to report to the Ancestor, but now the commotion in the Galaxy Divine Nation’s capital was too great—any Divine King across the Origin Continent could sense this terrifying disturbance.

“The Ancestor finally acted,” the Lan Duo Sovereign watched eagerly. “He must crush the Galaxy Sovereign’s arrogance!”

The Galaxy Sovereign was too tyrannical.

He devoured living beings—but not from the Galaxy Divine Nation’s own lands. Most were even the billions of creatures from the Thunder Ancient Nation. Why should he meddle so broadly?

……

In a remote corner of the Origin Continent, the region known as the Eastern Pole Domain.

“Such a temper from the Thunder Ancestor?” A towering woman in blue robes stood, her body as massive and unshakable as a world itself—she was the Eastern Pole Domain Ancestor, who had attained the Ultimate through the Path of Life’s Origin, then crossed into the Divine Emperor realm.

Due to the gap of multiple eras and the lack of bloodline ties, the Eastern Pole Domain Ancestor merely offered slight protection to the native life of the Origin Continent.

“Flame Wind acts with prudence; Thunder is violent and cunning,” the Eastern Pole Domain Ancestor gazed afar. “The Galaxy Sovereign killed Emperor Yuan—Flame Wind Ancestor could endure it. But the Galaxy Sovereign killed Bai Mo Sovereign… Thunder cannot.”

“This conflict may be impossible to resolve,” the Eastern Pole Domain Ancestor watched the unfolding events.

……

Di Qing also watched this scene from afar.

“Galaxy younger brother despises evil and shows no mercy—even to the Thunder Ancestor?” Di Qing shook his head lightly. “Thunder Ancestor is violent by nature. A clash between them might be good.”

“Suffering a little here in the Origin Continent will make him more cautious when he reaches the Source World,” Di Qing thought.

He felt Galaxy younger brother was too aggressive—if he continued like this, he would suffer greatly beyond the Source World!

Better to suffer small losses here than great ones later.

Conflicts within the Origin Continent bring no major losses or troubles.

“Thunder Ancestor is a perfected Divine Emperor, his Primordial Bloodline excavated to an utterly terrifying degree—his realm far surpasses Galaxy younger brother’s,” Di Qing thought. “Even if Galaxy younger brother exchanged for an ultra-powerful artifact, he still couldn’t match Thunder Ancestor.”

Last time, he had fought Galaxy—he knew well that in pure realm, the Galaxy Sovereign was slightly inferior even to himself, winning only through that nine-tiered treasure tower.

At this moment, across the Origin Continent, whether the Eastern Pole Domain Ancestor, Di Qing, Flame Wind Ancestor, or ordinary Divine Kings, all watched this highest-level confrontation.

“That’s the Thunder Ancestor,” Zu Yuan in Hu Yang City gazed afar toward the Galaxy Divine Nation, deeply concerned. “Luo Feng is already clashing with the Thunder Ancestor?”

“Luo Feng!” Zuo Shan Ke, using a secret treasure mirror, also watched with worry. “Thunder Ancestor—one of the two Ancestors of the nations, a truly invincible being.”

Even those closest to Luo Feng had little faith in him.

……

In the palace of the Galaxy Capital.

After killing Bai Mo Sovereign, Luo Feng had anticipated the Thunder Ancestor’s retaliation, so he had patiently waited within the capital.

“This Thunder Ancestor—no wonder he cultivates the Primordial Thunder Bloodline. Such a volatile temper,” Luo Feng looked up at the boundless terrifying thunder above the capital, each bolt capable of suppressing a Divine Sovereign. “Galaxy! Come out!”

Thunder roared, the voice vast and filled with fury.

“Thunder Ancestor, your kin devour billions of living beings—and yet you dare come to me?” A cold voice rang out.

A colossal phantom skull appeared—vaguely resembling a beast’s head, its gaping maw completely engulfing the boundless thunder, swallowing countless bolts in one gulp.

“Hmm?”

“This—”

The Eastern Pole Domain Ancestor, Di Qing, and Flame Wind Ancestor all gasped in surprise at this sight.

Though this boundless thunder domain was naturally carried by the Thunder Ancestor, its power had naturally risen to the Origin Continent’s maximum limit—such a terrifying domain, such endless thunder, had been entirely devoured?

Whoosh.

At this moment, Luo Feng soared into the sky above the capital, clad in silver scales, wearing a golden mask. Merely standing there, he radiated boundless terrifying aura, spreading across vast distances, with a colossal phantom creature faintly concealed within.

“Such a powerful lifeform,” Flame Wind Ancestor observed, nodding slightly. “Merely by releasing his aura, he has touched the Origin Continent’s power limit. Ignoring other realm mysteries, just his body… is at least Divine Emperor early stage.”

The Origin Continent’s power threshold is the threshold of the Divine Emperor realm.

Please... collect 6...9...books....!

Merely by releasing his aura, he had touched this threshold—his body’s strength was unimaginable.

“Galaxy younger brother never left the Origin Continent—only cultivated here—and already reached this level with his body?” Di Qing was astonished.

A cultivator possessing “Divine Emperor early stage strength” means overall power combined from all aspects.

Some cultivators may radiate terrifying might, yet their bodies remain at the Ultimate Divine King level—this is perfectly normal.

“This Galaxy dares to challenge the Thunder Ancestor—he must have some backing,” the Eastern Pole Domain Ancestor watched from afar.

……

The Thunder Ancestor now frowned slightly. He didn’t care that his natural thunder domain had been devoured—he cared about the method the Galaxy Sovereign used to consume it.

“A youngster, with a body at least at Divine Emperor early stage?” The Thunder Ancestor frowned.

Cultivation at the Divine Emperor level is shrouded in darkness, so flaws are common.

Strengthening the body? That’s already extremely difficult.

But once the body becomes strong enough, survival capability naturally surges to a new level.

“Under the Origin Continent’s conditions, a Divine Emperor early stage lifeform… cannot be harmed,” the Thunder Ancestor knew this well. Outside, he could crush this body with a flick of his hand—but here, he could not threaten it.

“This youngster’s talent is truly extraordinary. Never venturing beyond the Source World, he merely focused on cultivation—and reached Divine Emperor early stage with his body.” The Thunder Ancestor’s mindset shifted.

Previously, the Galaxy Sovereign’s ability to spy on Thunder Mountain’s hidden space merely indicated he possessed a powerful artifact. Possessing an artifact sometimes meant merely receiving great fortune—it didn’t guarantee becoming a supreme power. Beyond the Source World, many lucky ones gained great treasures but, knowing they couldn’t unlock their full potential, preferred to trade them away.

But here, within the Origin Continent alone, his body reached Divine Emperor early stage.

The Divine Emperors—Thunder Ancestor, Di Qing, Flame Wind Ancestor, Eastern Pole Domain Ancestor—all understood what this meant.

“Once he reaches the Source World and accesses vast knowledge, he’ll soar beyond all bounds,” the Thunder Ancestor thought. Having spent his life enduring outside the Source World, the word “endure” now surfaced in his heart. “I can endure Flame Wind—I can endure this Galaxy too.”

Within the Origin Continent, only Flame Wind Ancestor had once made the Thunder Ancestor endure. Now, there was another.

The Thunder Ancestor had reached his current realm—he was no fool. Once his mindset changed, his methods changed too.

“Galaxy.”

The Thunder Ancestor still wore an angry expression. “You told me yourself that Bai Mo and Lan Duo devoured some living beings. I showed you face—I punished them, sent them to the Pillar World to atone. This time, you didn’t notify me—you directly killed them. Isn’t that disrespecting me?”

Luo Feng froze.

The previously furious, raging Thunder Ancestor now spoke “reasonably”—it left Luo Feng stunned.

“I’ve only revealed a fraction of my body’s power—and he’s already this courteous? In body strength, I’m far inferior to him.” Luo Feng, with his Life-Death Eyes, clearly understood the gap.

In pure body strength, the Thunder Ancestor was the most terrifying on the Origin Continent.

And himself?

Before obtaining the Life-Death Eyes, he had already comprehended four Ultimate life forms along the Path of Life.

After obtaining the Life-Death Eyes, observing the Dao more fundamentally, he comprehended three more Ultimate life forms.

He had once acquired the corpse materials of three “Ultimate Primordial Bloodline” lifeforms—each possessing six, seven, and ten aspects respectively. Luo Feng’s seven comprehended aspects precisely included the six aspects of the “multi-limbed creature,” the one he’d invested the most effort into.

Thus, his World Lifeform evolved from a twenty-four-aspect form into the true form of an “Ultimate Primordial Bloodline” lifeform—the multi-limbed creature.

The multi-limbed creature simultaneously embodies the six aspects: “Twenty-Four Aspects,” “All-Things Aspect,” “Origin Aspect,” “Great Strength Aspect,” “Four Directions Aspect,” and “Hundred Spirits Aspect.” By fusing these six aspects with the corpse material’s substance, Luo Feng’s fundamental life unit became the multi-limbed creature’s base life unit.

Of course…

In spiritual will, Luo Feng vastly surpassed that primordial bloodline creature. Thus, his body’s size dwarfed even that creature’s.

In realm, he was far superior to the low-intelligence bloodline creature, able to more perfectly coordinate and mobilize his inner power.

Luo Feng’s current lifeform was indeed an “Ultimate Lifeform”—and far stronger than most Ultimate Lifeforms, even surpassing the body of most Ultimate Primordial Bloodline creatures.

“Thunder Ancestor,” Luo Feng’s mind brimmed with thoughts, yet he spoke: “My stance toward grave sinners has always been this way! Everyone on the Origin Continent knows it! Bai Mo and Lan Duo knew my nature—and still dared to plunder like this… they didn’t respect me at all. They deserved to die!”

“Gentlemen, gentlemen, don’t be angry,” a hearty laugh rang out as a burly man broke through the sky. “We are all cultivators of the Origin Continent—we must support each other, march forward side by side. Why quarrel over a small matter?”
