Chapter 30: Zuo Shan Ke Enters the Cycle

“From now on, I must study this ‘Blood River of Life’ carefully,” Luo Feng thought. “It can also deepen my understanding of the Chaotic Principle.”

Comprehending the Chaotic Principle is extremely difficult.

Therefore, one must pursue multiple paths simultaneously—for example, Luo Feng resides beside the Chaos Wastes, observing and contemplating it up close; this is one path.

Cultivating secret techniques that directly point toward the Chaotic Realm, such as the Nine Cuts to Break Through, the Chaotic Great Strength Diagram, the Severing of Extinction, the Eastern Splendor, and others—the deeper one cultivates, the deeper one’s understanding of the Chaotic Principle becomes. The Severing of Extinction and the Eastern Splendor, in particular, directly lead toward the Divine King level.

The Eternal True God-level mechanical treasures, the Slaying Wu Wings and the Blood River of Life, both contain techniques of the Chaotic Realm. Careful contemplation of them can likewise enhance one’s understanding of the Chaotic Principle.

Only those with extraordinary talent, pursuing multiple paths simultaneously, have any hope of becoming a Chaotic Dominator.

Luo Feng, without doubt, mastered the Lie Yuan Technique and achieved the unimaginable Perfect Divine Body—his talent was so high that even the Divine King Zuo Shan Ke was astonished.

“This harvest exceeds my expectations,” Luo Feng assessed his treasures: over 980,000 Cosmic Sands and the Blood River of Life, worth roughly 1.5 million Cosmic Sands, were the greatest gains.

The combined value of the Eternal True God-level armor, weapon treasures, elixirs, and exotic beast materials amounted to nearly 200,000 Cosmic Sands.

“This Blood Serpent Chief really is wealthy!” Luo Feng was satisfied, though he knew some luck was involved—most powerful beings spend their Cosmic Sands.

Cosmic Sands left idle are merely wealth; only when spent do they strengthen one’s foundation.

“After drinking that fine wine from the Vice Director of the Yan Feng Hall, my insight seems to have improved,” Luo Feng said, after stowing his treasures. He sat cross-legged within the space of the Star Tower, beginning to contemplate the Chaotic Principle.

As soon as he focused his perception, he sensed the solidified Chaotic Principle of the neighboring Chaos Wastes.

“Vast as the ocean,” Luo Feng observed closely.

All things originate from Chaos.

Fully comprehending the complete Chaotic Principle was, as one might imagine, immensely difficult.

…

At a distance not far from Luo Feng’s cave, the “Chaos Armor Cave No. 3” belonged to the massive Mo Li family estate.

“The Blood Serpent Chief is dead—he truly is dead,” Diao Rongqi, also an Andian client of the Yan Feng Hall, received the news immediately.

With the bounty task completed, her 40,000 Cosmic Sands reward was fully deducted.

Had the task not been completed, the issuer could have withdrawn it, retaining only ten percent of the fee while returning the rest.

“Hahaha… he’s dead, he’s dead,” Diao Rongqi’s eyes glistened with tears, half-sobbing, half-laughing. After her father and clan members died, her only thought had been revenge. Yet now that her enemy had died so swiftly, she felt dazed.

“Xiao Qi, earlier, your guards accompanied you to the Huo Jie Eatery to meet Luohe. Is the Blood Serpent Chief’s death connected to Luohe?” Mo Li Feiyun speculated.

“It was Luohe who killed him!” came a voice.

Mo Li Feiyun and Diao Rongqi turned to see Mo Li Meng approaching.

“Father,” Mo Li Feiyun exclaimed, “was it truly Luohe who killed the Blood Serpent Chief?”

“Yes,” Mo Li Meng nodded. He had received the final message from the dying Blood Serpent Chief. He looked at Diao Rongqi with complex emotions. “I never expected that after you met Luohe, he would actually act on your behalf.”

Diao Rongqi asked: “Is Luohe Shangzun well?” She now felt immense gratitude toward Luo Feng—even becoming his servant would be her willing choice.

“He’s fine,” Mo Li Meng sighed. “In the entire Hu Yang City, how many dare offend him now?”

“How did you persuade him to help?” Mo Li Meng asked.

Diao Rongqi shook her head: “I merely explained the situation. Luohe Shangzun agreed immediately—he asked for nothing from me, only told me to return home, and said I’d have news before nightfall.”

Mo Li Meng pondered: “He’s truly generous and decisive.”

From these events, Mo Li Meng could glimpse some of Luo Feng’s character.

“Should I visit him to thank him?” Diao Rongqi hesitated. “But then the outside world might guess it was Luohe Shangzun who acted.”

“Don’t rush.”

Mo Li Meng shook his head. “Every faction in Hu Yang City is watching him now. Many wish to visit him. We can wait a few days—I’ll take you to visit him quietly then.”

Mo Li Meng was an Eternal True God; his small universe could shield them from outside observation, allowing a stealthy visit.

“Alright,” Diao Rongqi replied.

…

Mo Li Meng was right—many factions in Hu Yang City wished to visit Luo Feng.

Although the news “Luohe killed the Blood Serpent Chief” was still somewhat secret, the City Lord’s observatory had already confirmed it was Luo Feng, and the Blood Serpent Chief’s final message had reached five major factions.

With so many powerful beings aware, the truth would inevitably spread slowly among Hu Yang City’s elite.

“Luohe Shenjun, Zan Yun comes to pay respects,” Zan Yun’s Chief stood outside Luo Feng’s cave, humble and respectful.

“Hmm?”

Zan Yun’s Chief waited a while, but the cave gate remained shut and unresponsive. He finally turned away, sighing.

Meanwhile, inside Luo Feng’s cave.

“Is this the third guest today?” Mo Yu Yan couldn’t help asking. “Do we really turn away everyone?”

Mo Luo Sa lounged calmly nearby. “As long as the Master is in seclusion, no one—regardless of who they are—is to be acknowledged.”

“The previous three guests were all Eternal True Gods…” Mo Yu Yan still felt pressure—those he once revered as lofty beings were now all turned away.

Mo Luo Sa sneered. “Wait. Today, many Eternal True Gods will come to visit. Over time, you’ll get used to it.”

“I understand,” Mo Yu Yan adjusted his mindset. He was merely a minor True God—he must adapt to his Master’s ways.

“Focus on comprehending the Ten Fundamental Principles—your progress is too slow!” Mo Luo Sa shook his head. As a Beast of Destruction who mastered the Principle of Destruction, understanding the Ten Fundamental Principles was as easy as eating and drinking.

As he grew over time, his comprehension of the Destruction Dao would only deepen, until he fully mastered it. To him, Mo Yu Yan’s insight was truly mediocre.

“Oh,” Mo Yu Yan obediently replied.

“Luohe Shenjun, Zhu You comes to pay respects,” came another voice from outside—the Eternal True God of the famed Zhu Clan of Hu Yang City.

!.

Mo Yu Yan ignored it, focusing intently on comprehending the Principles.

In his homeland, the Original Universe region, within Luo Feng’s small universe.

On a bustling human planet, Luo Feng and Xu Xin wore short sleeves and handwoven straw hats, sitting leisurely in the open-air section of a restaurant, sipping drinks and chatting.

“Luo Feng, you say your son is pushing himself to the limit, yet his strength hasn’t improved at all. Why does he still push so hard?” Xu Xin shook her head. “At the last family gathering, Luo Hai was the only one absent!”

Luo Feng smiled. His gaze pierced through space and time, seeing Luo Ping signing contracts and Luo Hai training alone deep within a giant black hole.

The two sons had taken completely different paths.

Luo Ping had lost all interest in cultivation; Luo Hai was fanatically devoted to it.

“Luo Hai has drive—that’s a good thing,” Luo Feng chuckled. “After all, with infinite lifespan, one must have some pursuit.”

“He’s only a Cosmic Sovereign—there’s still Cosmic Lord, True God ahead! Even if he breaks through, what difference will it make?” Xu Xin said. “Seeing him push himself so hard, sometimes I feel heartbroken.”

“Don’t you feel heartbroken for me?” Luo Feng countered.

Xu Xin glanced at him. Once, she had worried endlessly for him, especially during life-or-death crises—she had been more terrified than anyone. But as time passed, she now faced everything calmly.

“Of course I feel heartbroken for you,” Xu Xin smiled.

Luo Feng then lifted his drink and savored it contentedly.

Though cautious in the Origin Continent, his Divine Power avatar in his homeland remained leisurely, often accompanying his wife on endless travels, enjoying every moment.

After all, within his small universe—spanning a hundred billion light-years—countless humans had flourished, nurturing an extraordinarily brilliant culture. Luo Feng and Xu Xin had wandered only a fraction of it so far.

“Ancestor,” a distant Cosmic Lord in the starry sky respectfully said, “as I passed through Zuo Shan Ke’s small universe, I noticed it’s rapidly expanding.”

Within Luo Feng’s small universe, any mention of “Ancestor” would draw his attention.

“Zuo Shan Ke’s small universe is expanding rapidly?” Luo Feng was startled.

“What’s wrong?” Xu Xin sensed something amiss.

“Master’s small universe is growing. Let’s go see,” Luo Feng said, taking Xu Xin’s hand. They boarded a spaceship treasure and pierced through space toward their Master’s small universe.

Luo Feng, as an Eternal True God with a Perfect Divine Body, even his Divine Power avatar remained unmatched by ordinary True Gods.

Whoosh!

The spaceship treasure halted amid chaotic currents. Around them, other True Gods and Cosmic Lords had arrived, all watching the expanding small universe.

“Ancestor.”

“Ancestor.”

“Galactic Lord.”

As Luo Feng and Xu Xin appeared, all surrounding True Gods and Cosmic Lords bowed deeply.

The human race’s powerful ones naturally revered them as “Ancestors.” Currently, the human race had two Ancestors: the Original Ancestor and the Galactic Ancestor, Luo Feng. Their small universes spanned billions and a hundred billion light-years respectively—both cradles of human civilization.

Luo Feng had resolved the Beast Crisis, rescued the Original Ancestor, and his small universe was vastly larger. Thus, Luo Feng’s status among the human race was indeed higher than the Original Ancestor’s. The Original Ancestor held no resentment—after all, his Nine Phantom Realm had been taught by Luo Feng.

“Hmm,” Luo Feng replied, gazing far off at the expanding small universe.

“Once Master breaks through to Void True God, he must enter the Cycle of Rebirth,” Luo Feng thought. “Master… is he finally going to the Origin Continent?”
