Chapter 69: Willpower Transformation (Part 1)

Luo Feng sat alone on the peak of his cave dwelling, watching the fine, drizzling rain drift between heaven and earth.

Luo Feng had only immersed himself in the "Three Thousand Void Beast Illustrations" to comprehend the eighth layer before pausing. On one hand, his mind felt exhausted and needed rest; on the other, he needed to stop and ponder carefully.

"The experiences of a Void Beast are different from those of a normal cultivator," Luo Feng mused. "From birth, it faces layer upon layer of calamities. These calamities are all meant to force it into utter despair, to force it to die completely."

In the world of cultivators, there is still order.

What a Void Beast experiences is only an endless "calamity." If at any moment it despairs and gives up, it dies.

Only by possessing an "Undying Heart" can one survive the endless calamities!

"Every tempering of a calamity, if survived, is a rebirth through fire. Yet, what greets it is the next calamity... This seemingly endless cycle of calamities makes me shudder just by comprehending the fundamental art," Luo Feng thought to himself.

He, too, had experienced hardships and life-and-death trials, but none compared to what this Void Beast had endured.

"Those layer upon layer of descending calamities seem like some kind of supreme rule." As Luo Feng pondered, he vaguely felt that this supreme rule was different from the Supreme Rules.

"The mind seems to be the most fragile thing."

"Once the mental willpower is destroyed and collapses, even with the most powerful divine body or the most powerful secret treasures and weapons, one cannot unleash their strength."

"But if the mind is powerful, one can sweep away powerful enemies relying solely on willpower."

"The heart... is a weakness, but it can also be the most powerful weapon."

At this moment, Luo Feng felt a sense of admiration for this Void Beast. Having endured so many terrifying calamities, it finally reached the other shore and was thoroughly reborn.

Suddenly—

Luo Feng felt Mo Luo Sa requesting to come out from the Star Tower within his body.

"Master, Master, let me out," Mo Luo Sa transmitted mentally.

With a thought from Luo Feng, Mo Luo Sa appeared out of thin air beside him. Mo Luo Sa looked at the fine rain drifting outside, lay down contentedly, and rubbed his belly in comfort.

"The corpse of Xue Yun is still inside the Star Tower; why are you resting?" Luo Feng looked at him, knowing clearly everything happening inside the Star Tower.

"I'm a bit stuffed," Mo Luo Sa lay comfortably and transmitted mentally, "I first swallowed the corpses of other Eternal True Gods, but they were of little help to me. However, the corpse of Yu Yu Tian Hu was too strong, and his bloodline was very special. After absorbing it, I felt a bit stuffed and couldn't digest it immediately."

Even for a World Beast, eating too fast leads to being stuffed.

Yu Yu Tian Hu could use the bloodline cultivation path to make his divine body comparable to an Infinite Divine Body, which shows the terror of his bloodline.

"You get stuffed too?" Luo Feng teased via transmission.

"I feel that if I digest for a period of time, even without swallowing any more divine bodies, I will have enough to reach the Chaos Realm within a few dozen epochs." Mo Luo Sa stood up excitedly and transmitted mentally, "Master, if I continue to swallow the Xue Yun divine body after some time... I think after finishing it, I can directly reach the Chaos Realm."

Luo Feng was startled.

"Reaching the Chaos Realm so soon?" Luo Feng looked at him.

"Yu Yu Tian Hu's divine body is comparable to an Infinite Divine Body; it's just a bit smaller in volume, but the bloodline is extraordinary. And the Xue Yun divine body... its attraction to me is even greater than Yu Yu Tian Hu's," Mo Luo Sa transmitted mentally. "I can be certain that after swallowing the Xue Yun divine body, I will definitely achieve the Chaos Realm."

"Master, when will you reach the Chaos Realm?" Mo Luo Sa transmitted mentally, saying it on purpose.

Luo Feng looked at him: "How is your willpower cultivation? Shall we spar with willpower secret arts in the Star Tower later?"

Mo Luo Sa smiled honestly.

"Hurry up and go teach Mo Yu Qingyan; that kid hasn't even comprehended the Ten Basic Laws yet," Luo Feng urged.

"Yes, yes, yes." Mo Luo Sa dared not show off and immediately turned into a blur, flying down the mountain to find Mo Yu Qingyan.

Luo Feng shook his head slightly.

Days passed, and Luo Feng spent all his time comprehending the Void Beast Illustrations, except for resting every few days.

Suddenly, one day.

"Master, Master," Mo Yu Qingyan messaged urgently.

"What is it?" Luo Feng was currently in the underground hall inside the Star Tower comprehending the Void Beast Illustrations; he knew Mo Yu Qingyan wouldn't disturb him easily.

"Someone is delivering a letter, saying it's a personal letter from Marquis Liuyin." Mo Yu Qingyan was also under great pressure; he naturally dared not fail to report a personal letter from a Chaos Sovereign to his master.

Boom—

The underground hall door opened.

Luo Feng walked out, and with a flash, he arrived at the main entrance of the cave dwelling.

"Luo He Shenjun." Standing at the main entrance was a rock creature who smiled honestly, "I am 'Chen Shi Jiu' from the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce. Entrusted by Marquis Liuyin of the Food Kingdom, I am here to help deliver this personal letter."

The Qianshi Chamber of Commerce was also a large chamber of commerce spread across many kingdoms, with several God Kings behind it, and it also had a branch in Huyang City.

"Thank you, President Chen." Luo Feng knew the other party's identity.

"Just helping to deliver a letter, so I will take my leave." The rock creature smiled and said. As the president of the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce's Huyang City branch, his status and influence were considered top-tier in the city, but he remained humble in front of Luo Feng.

Luo Feng took the letter and watched the other party leave.

The door closed, and Luo Feng flashed to the mountaintop, immediately intending to check the letter.

Just as he tore open the surface seal... Hum!

The letter burned, turning into a ball of blood-colored flame, which startled Luo Feng slightly.

"A divine power avatar?" Luo Feng naturally saw that there was a terrifying divine power hidden within the letter; by tearing it open, he had triggered this strand of divine power.

The blood-colored flame condensed into a figure. He wore dark red armor and vaguely exuded an aura of dark disaster. He looked at Luo Feng with a smile, his eyes containing two balls of burning blood-colored flame.

Even while smiling, Luo Feng still felt a dark terror, carrying a very strong threat.

"Marquis Liuyin?" Luo Feng also knew some simple information about Marquis Liuyin.

"It is I." Marquis Liuyin nodded with a smile, "I heard that an amazing Eternal True God has appeared in Huyang City, so I came to see for myself."

"Marquis, you overpraise me. Compared to you, we Eternal True Gods are not worth mentioning," Luo Feng said immediately.

"Today you are an Eternal True God; perhaps in the future, you will also be a Chaos Sovereign, a fellow traveler of mine." Marquis Liuyin stood on the mountaintop looking at this vast city, "Huyang City is a very beautiful city. I intend to make it part of my fief. What do you think?"

Luo Feng said immediately: "The struggle between the Liuyin Chaos Province and the Marquis Jiu Jiang Chaos Province is not something an Eternal True God like me can decide."

Marquis Liuyin looked at the vast world and sighed, "The Origin Continent is a mix of various factions, and every bit of resources has an owner! Even for God Kings, there are many precious resources they have no opportunity to touch."

!.

"We wait to climb the path of cultivation, for life to evolve to a higher level. Self-cultivation is one part, and resources are another." Marquis Liuyin looked at Luo Feng, "A Chaos Sovereign's fief can continuously produce resources. Unfortunately, I only have one Chaos Province as a fief; it's too small!"

Luo Feng listened.

"According to the Food Kingdom's rules, a Chaos Sovereign only has one Chaos Province fief. Want more? You need to conquer it yourself." Marquis Liuyin said, "The Marquis Jiu Jiang Chaos Province is adjacent to me, which is exactly my most suitable target."

"For the sake of my cultivation path, I need to expand my fief." Marquis Liuyin said, "No one can stop me. Stopping me is stopping my cultivation path."

Marquis Liuyin's voice contained an unshakable willpower.

"If Marquis Marquis Jiu Jiang blocks me, I will solve him personally." Marquis Liuyin looked at Luo Feng, "And the struggle at the Eternal True God level, your own strength is enough to surpass the entire Huyang City legion. I hope you will not intervene in this matter."

"If you do not intervene, I will send a gift, and we can also be friends."

"If you do intervene and ruin my affairs..." Marquis Liuyin looked at Luo Feng, "Think more about it; is it necessary to risk your life for an unrelated Marquis Marquis Jiu Jiang?"

After speaking, Marquis Liuyin's figure dissipated.

After learning about Luo Feng's information, this Marquis Liuyin knew that Luo Feng hated evil and would be difficult to use. So he decided to intimidate him; if he could make Luo Feng retreat, that would naturally be good. Even if he didn't succeed, he lost nothing.

"This Marquis Liuyin seems very eager to seize the Marquis Jiu Jiang Chaos Province." Luo Feng frowned slightly; apparently, Chaos Sovereigns also care very much about the continuous resource output of their fiefs.

"I should be more cautious in my future actions," Luo Feng thought.

In fact, Luo Feng never intended to risk his life for Marquis Marquis Jiu Jiang! Whether it was the usual style of the five major families of the City Lord's Mansion or his own need to lie low to deal with the several Kings of the Food Kingdom in the future, there was no need to put himself in danger.

"Marquis Liuyin came to find me personally; I'm afraid Huyang City and even the entire Marquis Jiu Jiang Chaos Province are about to face a war." Luo Feng thought for a while and returned to the underground hall.

The ownership of the Marquis Jiu Jiang Chaos Province should be the concern of Marquis Marquis Jiu Jiang and the God Kings of the Yu Kingdom, not himself. How much benefit is there? It's not worth risking his life.

Inside the Star Tower.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged, looking at the Three Thousand Void Beast Illustrations floating in mid-air.

"Layer 533, the Void Beast experiences one calamity after another. In this process, it also encountered some companions." Luo Feng could see on the reflected void map that besides the Void Beast, there were other Void Beast-like creatures, "But its companions fell one by one, and some were even killed by the Void Beast itself."

"Layer 679, the Void Beast no longer has companions. At this moment, it is even more lonely and even more powerful. Its mental willpower is even more terrifying, and the calamities it encounters are all solved by it..."

Luo Feng vaguely sensed a path of mental cultivation; that was the mental cultivation method belonging to the Void Beast.

At the six-hundred-plus layer, the Void Beast's mental willpower had grown to a terrifying level, far surpassing Luo Feng at this moment. A single thought could annihilate the vast heaven and earth and cause the calamities of invisible rules to collapse.

The bit that Luo Feng comprehended made him feel his own mind slowly transforming.

"Layer 852, the Void Beast encountered the most terrifying calamity in history. It was another Void Beast-like creature, and the two Void Beasts fought to the death."

"This terrifying battle lasted for a long time, until the 873rd layer void reflection map, where the Void Beast won completely. With this victory, the Void Beast also had a major transformation."

Luo Feng only watched the Three Thousand Void Beast Illustrations, and the artistic conception he could grasp from these scrolls made him seem to grow together with the Void Beast, which also made Luo Feng gain a lot.

"The heart can be large or small. Large, it can be an enemy to the supreme rules; small, it can merge with countless weak things."

"After countless weak things merge into one, it can rival the supreme."

At the 873rd layer, when the Void Beast won completely and transformed, Luo Feng perceived more of the Void Beast's mental cultivation method, and his own mind was slowly transforming.

"Boom~~~"

Back when he was a True God, his willpower was already at the peak of a Chaos Sovereign.

Under the nourishment of a perfect divine body, the tempering of the "Lie Yuan Shu" secret technique, and the assistance of many resources, especially the glimpses of another "mental cultivation method" comprehended from the Three Thousand Void Beast Illustrations, Luo Feng's mental willpower finally broke through that bottleneck.

Today, June 8th, also happens to be Luo Feng's birthday. It is indeed a coincidence that Luo Feng's mental willpower broke through to the God King level today.

Also, thanks to the new Silver Alliance member: Muscle Boqi.
