This path still held at least a glimmer of hope to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When stuck in a bottleneck, unable to advance for eons, practitioners of the Dark Sacred Realm exhaust every possible means,” Luo Feng mused, “I wonder what kind of bottleneck I’ll face in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Feng, between your physical body and my Eternal Night Mingyuan Body, which is stronger?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Elder Tianhe finished speaking, he vanished into thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Luo Feng’s Biomimetic Eye of Annihilation could detect a faint ripple—suddenly, Elder Tianhe was right before him, his finger slicing like a blade across Luo Feng’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ssshh—” A sharp edge cut through his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng stood there, watching the scene with keen interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robe formed from his own energy, likewise reinforced by the Indestructible Heart, showed not a single mark where the blade had cut through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My physical cultivation technique, the Indestructible Blood Sea Body, was modeled after the crimson scales of the Star Tower—already possessing a faint indestructible quality. With the Indestructible Heart as a treasure enhancement, why should I fear your attacks?” Luo Feng clearly observed every detail of Elder Tianhe’s move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh.” “Shhh.” “Shhh.” …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time Elder Tianhe moved, he became an elusive current of air; without his Biomimetic Eye of Annihilation, Luo Feng could not even track his motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In rapid motion, he struck Luo Feng’s body repeatedly—ten or more cuts in the blink of an eye—yet none left a scratch on the robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Tianhe, is that all you’ve got?” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Luo Feng had used the Infinite Blood Sea combined with an array to repel and crush hundreds of Dao Soldiers; now he faced his opponent in physical form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is your protective robe truly indestructible?” Elder Tianhe appeared far away, astonished. “You, a newly promoted Elder, certainly possess many secret treasures. But no matter how resilient your robe, your life force has its upper limit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Tianhe’s body instantly transformed: his size surged, and three pairs of silver-gray wings sprouted from his back; silver-gray fur covered his entire frame, his head reshaped, until he became a colossal bird-man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This form stirred great excitement among the onlookers atop Lancheng’s walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eternal Night Mingyuan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this Elder Tianhe’s ‘Eternal Night Mingyuan Body’?” Many onlookers had purchased Divine Emperor intelligence reports, which included details of this bloodline form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colossal silver-gray bird-man radiated powerful willpower—it was cultivated from the foundation of a High Hunyuan Life Bloodline, holding immense potential and embodying Elder Tianhe’s hope to break free from the cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng now grew more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Tianhe flapped his three pairs of wings and instantly appeared before Luo Feng, one claw descending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Luo Feng’s massive, furry claw, Elder Tianhe’s claw now looked withered and ferocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claw came crashing down directly upon Luo Feng’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng did not dodge—he raised a palm to meet it head-on, as if holding up the entire sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom~~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A direct clash of power! Elder Tianhe sought to drain Luo Feng’s energy with overwhelming force, yet in this head-on collision, he sensed the true might of Luo Feng’s palm. Though Elder Tianhe held a slight edge, the advantage was negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A newly promoted Elder with a body this strong?” Elder Tianhe frowned slightly, flapping his three pairs of wings as he unleashed devastating claw strikes one after another—Luo Feng met each blow with fearless, relentless palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rise!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Infinite Blood Sea surged into towering waves, instantly engulfing Elder Tianhe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xuanqing Heaven Annihilation Array activated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood sea bound and crushed Elder Tianhe from all sides, restricting his massive form; his wing movements slowed drastically, his power output diminished, and each claw strike lost force—soon, he was even at a disadvantage in direct clashes with Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Tianhe, is that all your tricks?” Luo Feng laughed, battling the colossal bird-man with his towering frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the blood sea binding and crushing him, and physical combat in full force, Luo Feng clearly held the upper hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The physical form combined with the Infinite Blood Sea—that was the true, complete form of the Indestructible Blood Sea Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m at a disadvantage?” Elder Tianhe felt deeply frustrated. In Lancheng, when facing countless troubles, he had always relied on his Eternal Night Mingyuan Body—and in his original plan, that form alone should have killed Luo Feng’s avatar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he still hadn’t forced Luo Feng to reveal that colossal claw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifty percent power isn’t enough—then I’ll use one hundred percent!” Elder Tianhe’s eyes glowed crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never unleashed his full power in Lancheng before; even this powerful technique, he had only perfected over hundreds of millions of eons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beneath his fur, patterns began to emerge on his skin—countless arrays, covering every inch of his body, even his eyeballs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one could peer inside him, every drop of his blood bore engraved arrays. These arrays were the core path upon which Elder Tianhe had grown from weakness to power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forged Dao Soldiers using arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had also attempted to transform his own Eternal Night Mingyuan Body into a Dao Soldier, etching countless arrays onto his flesh, seeking to unlock deeper bloodline potential and reach Ultimate Awakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though still far from Ultimate Awakening, the fusion of his arrays and Eternal Night Mingyuan Body had dramatically amplified its power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s Biomimetic Eye of Annihilation could not see inside Elder Tianhe, but he clearly saw dense golden arrays glowing beneath his fur—flowing and intensifying Elder Tianhe’s aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This power?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does Elder Tianhe have this power?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the onlookers atop Lancheng’s walls were several Elders’ avatars—they knew Elder Tianhe well, and instantly recognized: this exceeded the recorded capabilities in their intelligence reports.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His skin is engraved with countless arrays.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He has apparently successfully fused arrays with his Eternal Night Mingyuan Body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Elders were secretly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dao shares common principles; different cultivation systems can indeed merge—but achieving it is extraordinarily difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faint golden light flowed over Elder Tianhe’s surface. His blood-red eyes fixed on Luo Feng, his voice booming: “This is the first time I’ve unleashed my full power in Lancheng, Luo Feng—this is your honor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Tianhe flapped his three colossal wings, shattering every strand of the surrounding Infinite Blood Sea, and his terrifying claw struck Luo Feng’s chest directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!” Luo Feng felt a crushing force surge through him—he was flung backward, crashing into the blood sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Elder Tianhe was ferocious beyond measure, relentlessly hunting Luo Feng—each claw shattered countless waves, each wingbeat tore the blood sea apart, and portions of it were already being consumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m injured?” Luo Feng was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the Indestructible Heart’s reinforcement, Elder Tianhe had managed to wound him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng realized he must never underestimate the greatest champions of countless worlds—each possessed their own unique opportunities. He himself had never studied any “Semi-Hunyuan lineage,” to avoid interfering with forging his own path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet those who had studied countless lineages absorbed wisdom from all sources and integrated it into themselves—that too was a formidable path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Compared to these Elders who have spent eons accumulating power, my own foundation is still shallow,” Luo Feng knew well—these Elders primarily roamed the Dark Sacred Realm; in the Nine River Sacred Realm, they lacked many treasures, and their strength was comparatively diminished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Tianhe’s three colossal wings radiated terrifying power, annihilating all around him, sending waves of blood skyward. His claws swept relentlessly toward Luo Feng, completely dominating the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Tianhe, your accumulation truly surpasses mine,” Luo Feng spoke. “This battle can end here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng suddenly extended his arm—his hand transformed into a colossal, furry claw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Indestructible Heart’s reinforcement, his power now rivaled Elder Tianhe’s Eternal Night Mingyuan Body. Now, channeling such force into the claw, Luo Feng activated the hidden runes within it, amplifying its might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his bare-handed state, the power of this claw surged dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?” Elder Tianhe saw the colossal furry claw—its power was so overwhelming he immediately knew he could not match it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This claw could tear through two or three scales of the Hunyuan Wasteland Hoof Leader’s hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One claw strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Encompassing heaven and earth, splitting the world, forming a self-contained prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trapped within the prison, Elder Tianhe had nowhere to flee—he could only brace himself fully. Boom! The colossal claw tore downward, ripping open two of his wings, spraying blood—he showed signs of helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One clash was enough—he knew the power gap was too vast to overcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At least, you’ve been forced to reveal this claw,” Elder Tianhe sighed silently. He had long known Luo Feng possessed the colossal furry claw—but Luo Feng had never used it, leaving Elder Tianhe deeply frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only at the final moment had he finally forced Luo Feng to unveil this technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though defeated, Elder Tianhe felt a strange sense of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve lost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Tianhe’s remaining wings folded, instantly transforming into a streak of golden light that pierced through the world membrane of the “Palm Realm,” flashing away into Dongcheng Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Luo Feng’s right hand instantly returned to normal, the Infinite Blood Sea retracted into his body, and he resumed his ordinary appearance—a black-haired man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The countless onlookers atop Lancheng’s walls stared in disbelief at the black-haired man—hadn’t that colossal claw just instantly crippled Elder Tianhe and driven him to flee?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1696,"2026-06-20T20:45:00.697Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","58b479ed6689b09fc1e56480495d41c9f30f2ddc15bf8d31bd4ce80f28fb1392","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-303","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-301",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
