Chapter 5: One-Sided

"The source of the law he wields must be a toxic one," Luo Feng speculated. The eternal true gods native to the Origin Continent cultivate by absorbing the essence of exotic beasts' blood, so they often possess unusual talents—and even master rare sources of law.

Nineteen sharp cones hammered him from all directions, forcing Luo Feng to stagger and appear disheveled, his body riddled with wounds—but the wounds healed instantly. His divine power drained faster than the small universe, one thousand billion light-years in diameter, could replenish it.

"You're still standing firm after being poisoned by my law toxin?" The black-robed figure inwardly recoiled at the sight.

Black Mo's two greatest strengths were his law toxin! This toxin was elusive and unpredictable, corrupting the divine body and eroding consciousness; the weak died instantly, the strong suffered diminished power.

But he did not know.

Luo Feng’s perfect divine body was utterly impervious to the erosion of the law toxin. As for its effect on the soul and consciousness?

Luo Feng’s True God Heart was guarded by the Star Tower, and his soul’s will had reached the peak of Chaos-level strength—this minor law toxin could not shake it in the slightest.

"Is this all your poison technique has?" Luo Feng smiled, and suddenly a blade appeared in his hand.

It was the Divine King-grade weapon blank, “Blood Shadow Blade.” Its dark blade carried a streak of crimson light; the instant Luo Feng gripped it, the Source of Creation and Destruction naturally stirred. Countless grayish blade lights emerged from nothingness, sweeping outward and forcing all the sharp cones back.

The Blade of Creation and Destruction—from the Nine Breakthrough Blades!

During his passage through the Cycle Passage, after receiving vast transmissions from two lineages, Luo Feng naturally selected those suited to him.

Aside from the two core transmissions of the Duan Dong River lineage—“Duan Mie” and “Dong Hua”—which he must master, and because he possessed a perfect divine body, Luo Feng also chose the body refinement secret technique “Chaos Great Power Diagram,” the primary sword art “Nine Breakthrough Blades,” and selected “Nine Illusion Realms” for the Ancestor.

But due to the short time and extreme difficulty, the Eternal True God-level portions of “Duan Mie,” “Dong Hua,” and the resource-intensive “Chaos Great Power Diagram” had yet to be cultivated.

Of the “Nine Breakthrough Blades,” he had only comprehended one technique—the Blade of Creation and Destruction, most aligned with his own mastered “Source of Creation and Destruction.”

"You dare to be bold after being poisoned by my law toxin?" The black-robed figure laughed, his form twisting and swelling—in the blink of an eye, he towered like a mountain.

Now clad in scaled armor, he resembled a monstrous upright beast: four thick legs, a massive torso, eight deep-blue arms, and three heads—each resembling a lizard’s head.

Black Mo, the three-headed, eight-armed being, gripped a black spear in each claw. With each breath, toxic gas spread from his three heads, engulfing ten thousand li, withering vast vegetation.

Towering like a mountain, his three massive heads fixed their gaze on Luo Feng and growled: "Why not reveal your true form?"

"You?" Luo Feng held the blade in one hand, looking up at the colossal beast.

Eternal True Gods of the Origin Continent usually maintained humanoid forms, typically about one ren tall. One ren was a basic length unit on the Origin Continent. According to Luo Feng’s intelligence, the ancient beings of the Origin Continent revered the “Yuan” form—humanoid—as the ideal, so Divine Kings all maintained humanoid shapes in daily life.

Following suit, all races across the Origin Continent—regardless of species, even mechanical races, metallic lifeforms, plant races—had grown accustomed to humanoid forms.

But when fighting, to unleash their full power, they revealed their true forms!

Only in their true bodies could they perfectly unleash their strength!

"Maintaining a small form restricts their power, so they must reveal their true bodies. Generally, Infinite Divine Bodies can change size at will—even in small form, they still exert full power," Luo Feng understood this well—he himself could alter his size freely without affecting his power.

"Then die!" Black Mo’s three heads twisted in fury. He strode through the mist, one step bringing him close—eight spears enveloped heaven and earth, striking Luo Feng.

Luo Feng himself transformed into a streak of grayish blade light.

One colossal, towering form; one tiny form—they collided instantly.

"Boom—!"

The blade light carried the mystery of the Source of Creation and Destruction, the might of the Divine King-grade blade blank, and the immense divine power of Luo Feng’s perfect divine body. Even though Luo Feng had just become an Eternal True God, the power of this single strike was terrifying.

The spears’ might was equally terrifying. Black Mo had been an Eternal True God for eons, cultivating secret techniques and consuming vast resources to elevate himself to the Eighth Layer of Eternal Realm—this single spear revealed his depth.

Blade light met spear.

Both Luo Feng’s tiny form and Black Mo’s colossal form were thrown back slightly by the impact.

"No wonder you dared come to compete for the treasure! You truly have some strength!" Black Mo grew more serious, his eight black spears coordinating perfectly, launching a furious assault on Luo Feng.

In a direct clash, Luo Feng’s Blade of Creation and Destruction was evenly matched.

Now, with all eight spears perfectly synchronized, the threat multiplied manyfold.

This weapon technique was Black Mo’s other great strength—the “Black Heaven Spear Art!” Black Mo had studied this art for tens of thousands of eons and cultivated an eight-armed divine body suited to it, using this form to unleash the terrifying spear art. Now, as he fully unleashed the Black Heaven Spear Art, Luo Feng felt spears surrounding him from every direction.

"My only powerful sword technique right now is this one—Blade of Creation and Destruction!" Luo Feng felt slightly embarrassed—he had become an Eternal True God and immediately come to the Origin Continent, with no time to study the transmissions.

Holding the Blood Shadow Blade, Luo Feng repeatedly used only the Blade of Creation and Destruction, completely suppressed by the eight exquisitely coordinated spear shadows. Occasionally, a spear pierced or slashed him, sending him flying into the earth.

"What’s going on? His divine body is refined to this level—how is his sword art so ordinary?" Black Mo grew even more cautious. When facing an Eternal True God enemy, he never dared the slightest complacency.

He had no idea.

Luo Feng had not even had time to cultivate any body refinement technique—his divine body was this strong simply because, upon becoming an Eternal True God, his body was naturally this powerful. His sword art was already quite good, and he had mastered one formidable technique.

"There must be a trick!" Black Mo believed one principle—he never trusted the surface displays of his enemies.

"Burn divine power!" Black Mo’s aura surged violently as he burned his divine power—his strength, speed, and all other aspects skyrocketed. The overwhelming aura surged outward, startling Luo Feng.

Luo Feng immediately burned his divine power: "Burn divine power!"

“Duan Mie,” as one of the three supreme arts of the Duan Dong River lineage, was too profound! Luo Feng had not yet comprehended the Eternal True God-level method of burning divine power within this short time. His current method of burning divine power was crude, far inferior to Black Mo’s technique.

!

"He burns divine power, yet his power doesn’t increase much? Has he not obtained the secret method? Then where did he get the courage to steal the treasure?" A thought flashed through Black Mo’s mind.

But his actions did not pause.

The eight spears grew even more terrifying.

"Boom—boom—boom—!"

Though both burned divine power, Luo Feng’s condition was clearly worse—he was completely suppressed, repeatedly struck by spears, his injuries far more severe.

"Master, shall I intervene?" A voice echoed in Luo Feng’s mind—it was the World Beast Mo Luo Sa, hidden at a distance, observing the battle.

"I’m enjoying this—don’t interfere," Luo Feng replied mentally. Though repeatedly struck, his perfect divine body and near-infinite divine power allowed him to endure these wounds—he savored every moment of combat at the Eternal True God level.

Black Mo had complete dominance, yet could not kill Luo Feng’s divine body—this startled him inwardly: "What an incredible body refinement technique!"

"Then let him witness my ultimate technique!"

"Black Heaven Spear Art—All Worlds Return to One!"

Black Mo poured his burning divine power into the eight spears. The surrounding heavens and earth twisted—and suddenly, Luo Feng saw a single spear, carrying annihilating might, hurtling toward his head.

"Boom!!!"

This strike was far stronger than before—Luo Feng was instantly blasted downward.

But as he fell, a second spear, then a third—

In the blink of an eye, thousands of spears struck Luo Feng in rapid succession, each strike unbroken. As he fell, he could not block them—he could only endure each blow with his body.

In less than a breath, he absorbed thousands of spear strikes.

Luo Feng was stunned, feeling endless terrifying force surge into his body, continuously annihilating his divine power. He was slammed into the earth, the residual shockwaves spreading outward, toppling trees, shattering rocks, and silencing all beasts within ten thousand li—they all hid in fear.

Even the Origin Continent’s earth, so stable, was blasted into a vast basin. Luo Feng lay at the very center of the crater.

"Ugh." Luo Feng blinked, sitting upright in the crater.

"Master was really beaten badly," whispered Mo Luo Sa, hidden at a distance, covering his eyes and sending a mental message: "Master, you really don’t need me to help?"

"No, I’m fine," Luo Feng replied mentally, then looked up at the towering Black Mo.

Black Mo looked down at the tiny Luo Feng, all three heads filled with shock: "Still alive?"
