Chapter 267: The Sixth Volume: Five Clones

Luo Feng looked at the three Chaos Realm beings before him; while he had just comprehended the Dao of Life, he had simultaneously awakened them—all three capable of bearing Chaos Realm bodies—truly remarkable.

Of course, awakened by external force, they would likely never advance further in their lives.

“You three have fate with me,” Luo Feng nodded. “You may choose to roam this world, or come with me to Daohe Sect.”

“I wish to follow my master to Daohe Sect,” said the woman born of vegetation and the youth born of avian beast—both answered without hesitation. They had long possessed consciousness and knew well how hard it was for aberrant life to survive on the Origin Continent; clinging to a powerful patron was vital.

The old man born of the great tree hesitated. “Master, may I roam the world for a while before joining you at Daohe Sect?”

Luo Feng knew this tree had gained consciousness only during the awakening process; though it appeared as an elder, it was the most immature of them all.

“Agreed,” Luo Feng nodded.

Immediately, Luo Feng and the woman and youth vanished into thin air, gone.

The tree elder felt a pang of melancholy.

Had he made the right choice?

“This world?” The tree elder was filled with curiosity. Before his awakening, he had only vague instincts, sensing occasional tribesmen passing through, hunting aberrant beasts nearby.

Filled with curiosity, the elder set out on his journey.

…

Daohe Sect headquarters.

Mo Luo Sa stared at the sudden appearance of Luo Feng, the woman, and the youth.

“Mo Luo Sa, these two are the Chaos Realm beings I awakened,” Luo Feng instructed. “They are now members of Daohe Sect. You are to train them.”

“Awakened life?” Mo Luo Sa nodded. With his master’s peak Second Layer Divine King realm in the Dao of Life, it was still possible to awaken beings to the Chaos Realm level.

Mo Luo Sa suddenly stared in shock at his master.

“Master, you?” Mo Luo Sa was startled. Luo Feng concealed his true strength when outside, but before Mo Luo Sa, he made no effort to hide it—Mo Luo Sa could clearly sense… his master’s Dao had also reached perfection.

“Finally made a breakthrough,” Luo Feng smiled and nodded.

“Congratulations, Master! Joy to you, Master!” Mo Luo Sa rejoiced.

His master’s talent was extraordinary; even before reaching the Ultimate Realm, the master’s “Ultimate Dao of Birth and Death” technique had far surpassed Mo Luo Sa’s. With the aid of supreme artifacts, he had already reached the level of the two nations’ primordial ancestors.

Now, he had finally taken that step!

“Just a small step,” Luo Feng said, in good spirits but aware it meant little.

“Over a thousand thirteen cycles on the Origin Continent—and already an Ultimate Realm cultivator,” Mo Luo Sa marveled at his master’s terrifying growth rate. In technique, in spiritual will, his master surpassed him in every way.

And Mo Luo Sa himself had reached his growth’s limit—he could advance no further.

“Among your subordinates, I am the strongest. I can manage Daohe Sect, manage the Silver Galaxy Divine Nation,” Mo Luo Sa had confidence—he had countless incarnations, invisible and formless, naturally suited for such tasks.

“From today, you may begin birthing the Destruction Legion,” Luo Feng ordered. At this level, it could be revealed.

“Yes,” Mo Luo Sa immediately replied.

The woman and youth beside him looked bewildered.

Destruction Legion?

Although they had long possessed consciousness, they had once been a plant rooted in the earth and a Void True God-level aberrant beast—they had no idea what the Destruction Legion meant.

“Come with me,” Mo Luo Sa led them away.

…

Luo Feng walked through Huyang City.

“The three awakened Chaos Realm beings—two chose Daohe Sect, one chose to roam the world… such is the spirit of life,” Luo Feng mused. “Strong spirit gives life infinite possibilities. It may even allow one to completely escape the protection of the Supreme Laws.”

The so-called cage was also a kind of protection.

Luo Feng gazed at the countless cultivators within bustling Huyang City, each with their own pursuits, each with their own spiritual will.

“Life.”

At this moment, Luo Feng could be vast or minute, even hidden within any life form in heaven and earth—whether cultivator, mindless creature, blade of grass, or pebble—he could enter any of them.

Even all “memories” of Luo Feng within the Source World were life imprints—he could use these imprints to instantly restore his body.

“Within the Origin Continent’s boundaries, I am the concept of life itself. As long as the world holds an environment capable of nurturing life—a single thread of energy, a speck of soil—I am immortal,” Luo Feng understood.

He could kill Di Yuan. He could kill Bai Mo!

But an actual Ultimate Realm cultivator would be exponentially harder to kill.

And an Ultimate Realm cultivator of the Life Dao? On the Origin Continent, he was truly immortal.

“But only within the Origin Continent’s environment,” Luo Feng realized. “My understanding of life is confined to normal life within the Origin Continent. As for Divine Emperor level? For Hunyuan bloodlines? I cannot fathom them.”

“Even ‘perfect Dao, leaving no trace, severing karma’… has its limits.”

Everyone has karma.

After reaching the Ultimate Realm, a perfected Dao can obscure and blur karma, making it hard for enemies to perceive.

Even traces left in time and space become indistinct.

“Within the cage, such methods cannot penetrate.”

“But higher-level methods beyond the cage… see everything clearly.”

Luo Feng opened his Eye of Birth and Death at his brow.

Under the Eye of Birth and Death’s observation:

Not even Ultimate Realm beings—nor the primordial ancestors of the two nations—could hide their karma or traces.

“Huh.”

Luo Feng reached the top of a pavilion within the governor’s mansion and sat alone. “The Dao I wield is the ‘Dao’ within the Source World.”

“Now, what I must do is grope in darkness—to merge the Source World’s ‘Dao’ with higher mysteries, evolving it into a ‘Hunyuan-level Dao,’” Luo Feng understood.

Every Dao-seeker groping in darkness longed for this.

To awaken a Hunyuan-level Dao of one’s own!

“These materials from the Ultimate Realm Hunyuan-bloodline creatures,” Luo Feng flipped his hand, revealing a shattered scale before him. “I can comprehend the ‘nine aspects’ embedded in their basic life structure.”

“But the substance composing these nine aspects—I cannot fathom it.”

“Because this substance originates from its Hunyuan bloodline—it exceeds the scope of the ‘Dao of Life’ within the cage.”

“If the Hunyuan-level ‘Dao of Life’ truly exists, it should fully comprehend the scales and hair of Hunyuan life,” Luo Feng thought.

At the Divine King Ultimate Realm:

One must separately comprehend the “nine aspects,” then use the Dao of Matter to comprehend “matter,” and only then combine both to form the final life form.

But in truth, all life’s substance can be classified under the Hunyuan-level Dao of Life.

“The higher one ascends, the broader the inclusion.”

No single hair, no single thought, no single content is overlooked!

“The Hunyuan-level Dao is boundless.”

Luo Feng had observed the Star Tower, the Eye of Birth and Death, two rare life relics, and the innate artifact “Palm Realm”—all made him realize how vast the Hunyuan-level Dao truly was.

“At least, I have seen them,” Luo Feng whispered softly.

…

Even within Huyang City, Luo Feng could observe all “Ultimate Realm Hunyuan-bloodline creatures” on the Origin Continent—these nine beings collectively possessed twenty-seven distinct aspects.

Luo Feng had previously comprehended fifteen aspects before naturally breaking through and mastering the complete Dao of Life.

After mastering the Dao, comprehending these aspects became far easier.

Another hundred cycles passed—Luo Feng fully comprehended all twenty-seven aspects of the nine beings.

“The nine Ultimate Realm Hunyuan-bloodline creatures of the Origin Continent each have unique talents. Four are too weak to matter; the other five each serve a purpose,” Luo Feng thought.

A clone stepped forth beside him—this clone bore silver-gray scales, yet still bore Luo Feng’s face.

The silver-gray scales shimmered.

If any observer could perceive, they would see—across past timelines, the present, and future timelines—a silver-gray scaled Luo Feng clone existed simultaneously.

“This clone may be called the ‘Time Clone’—naturally capable of existing in past, present, and future.”

“Though I can manifest it, I do not yet understand its underlying mystery.”

Of the five selected Ultimate Realm Hunyuan-bloodline creatures, once transformed, Luo Feng’s spiritual will and realm control rendered each clone a pre-Deity Emperor-level life form.

“From now on, to gain stronger bodies, I must comprehend them myself. Invisible and Formless can no longer aid me,” Luo Feng understood.

“Five Clones—Heaven and Earth Clone!”

Luo Feng willed—and a clone appeared.

This clone wore plain clothing, appearing ordinary—but in an instant, it dispersed like mist and clouds, instantly spreading over tens of millions of kilometers, far beyond Huyang City’s boundaries.

The Heaven and Earth Clone possessed the innate talent “Merge with Heaven and Earth,” allowing it to fuse with the laws of heaven and earth’s operation—and even pry open those laws, using one unit of force to leverage a hundred or a thousand.

“Innate Artifact—‘Palm Realm’! Activate!”

At this moment, Luo Feng fully activated the innate artifact.

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—

The countless citizens of Huyang City were stunned as the entire city rose from the ground, slowly ascending, trembling violently.

“What’s happening?”

“What’s going on?”

Many cultivators flew high, gazing from afar at Huyang City’s outskirts—seeing massive mountain ranges glowing across all directions. Once ordinary winding ranges now transformed into furry, colossal claws.

Five mountain ranges were merely the sharp tips of the giant claw’s talons—their vast bulk emerged from beneath the earth.

The palm of the entire claw cradled Huyang City as it ascended.

“Master!” Mo Yu Hu and Xin Yu were stunned.

“Luo Feng,” Yuan also felt the disturbance was too great—the giant claw’s aura was even more terrifying than that of Thunder Mountain.

"This claw is a secret treasure—I am controlling it," Luo Feng transmitted his voice downward; the senior figures of Daohe Sect finally calmed, yet were all stunned by the terrifying power of Luohe Shenwang.

This colossal, furry claw extended over a hundred trillion kilometers, with two-thirds exposed above ground, while still part remained buried beneath.

The thick palm cradled Wei Yang City.

At this moment, Wei Yang City hung suspended eight trillion kilometers above the ground, resting atop the giant palm.

"The Palm Realm is indeed wondrous," Luo Feng thought. For the first time, he unleashed it fully without restraint, feeling the miracle of the 'Palm Realm'—truly a complete world, utterly severed from the outside.

Even cause and effect were severed! This was even more terrifying than Thunder Mountain.

"Heaven-Earth Avatar, merge with the Palm Realm," Luo Feng willed.

The Heaven-Earth Avatar began merging into the Palm Realm, for this innate secret treasure was under Luo Feng’s control and offered no resistance to the fusion.

When the fusion was complete.

At this moment, Luo Feng’s Heaven-Earth Avatar and the Palm Realm became one, perceiving the inner workings of the Palm Realm’s world—granting Luo Feng a new perspective for 'understanding.'

"The Milky Way is Luohe, hahaha..." Di Qing’s laughter echoed from afar, "Little Brother Milky Way, you’ve hidden yourself well."

Such a massive disturbance had long stirred the entire Origin Continent, drawing the attention of countless powerful beings.
