Chapter 142: Unfathomable Strength

A vast and boundless dark world, covering billions of kilometers, enveloped everything in sight. This dark world contained operating laws, and at the core of these laws stood the figure at the center—Luo Feng.

“His physical body influences the heavens and earth, and even the supreme rules retreat?” Yan Su’s heart trembled as he witnessed the scene. “This is the realm of the cosmic body, where the physical body is like a complete universe. Even among the Divine Kings, those who can reach such a realm are extremely rare. Oh, Two Realms Palace, you have caused me great harm!”

Offending a Chaos Realm Transcendent was not something Yan Su cared about.

Under normal circumstances, it was extremely difficult for a Chaos Realm Transcendent to progress further.

Who could have expected that within half an era, Luo He had undergone such a qualitative transformation in strength!

“He has broken through in power,” Great Sage Biyun, who had merged with the heavens and earth, was also secretly shocked. “This entire dark world revolves around him. With his own strength, he supports an entire world.”

At this moment, Great Sage Biyun, Yan Su, City Lord of Arid Wind, and Lord of Yuanxiu Mansion all felt immense pressure.

“Everyone.”

Luo Feng stood there, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings. “The Blood Spirit Gold Pearls, they all belong to me. Does anyone have any objections?”

“All of them to you?” A gray shadow of Yan Su in the distance said in a low voice, “The four of us don’t get even one, and you take them all?”

Yan Su knew well that he had already offended Luo He, and the only option was to rally other Chaos Realm Transcendents. Only by joining forces with multiple Chaos Realm Transcendents could they have a chance of fighting against Luo He.

“All of them to you?” A figure of a woman in a blue robe appeared in midair. The moment she arrived, a sharp edge seemed to pierce the heavens and earth. She looked at Luo Feng and said, “Luo He, isn’t it a bit much for you to claim everything?”

“Hmph.”

City Lord of Arid Wind snorted angrily, and the terrifying air currents from his nostrils stirred the atmosphere. He glared at Luo Feng. “No matter how strong you are, you’re just a Chaos Realm Transcendent! Do you really think you can suppress the four of us alone? I want to see just how powerful you really are, Luo He!”

A Divine King at the first stage, mastering multiple branches of the Great Dao and cultivating the Primordial Bloodline or the Primordial Secret Techniques to their peak, was indeed extraordinary and could even challenge a second-stage Divine King.

However, the ceiling for a Chaos Realm Transcendent was much lower, as they had not yet mastered any branches of the Great Dao. Great Sage Biyun, Yan Su, and City Lord of Arid Wind were all unwilling to give up easily.

“I have no objections.” The distant Lord of Yuanxiu Mansion smiled. “First, let me congratulate Brother Luo He on your breakthrough in strength. As for the Blood Spirit Gold Pearls, I have no interest in fighting for them. Brother Luo He… could you escort me out first?”

A few pearls weren’t worth risking his life for. If he got involved in a deadly battle and his true body was killed, the loss would be immense.

His internal Dark Mansion had incorporated a considerable amount of Primordial materials to reach its current level.

“Yuanxiu, are you really that cowardly?” Yan Su sneered. “The four of us working together—are you afraid of him?”

“I’m not you. You have plenty of incarnations, so you don’t mind losing a few.” Lord of Yuanxiu Mansion replied.

“Yuanxiu is of little use here, no need to bother with him,” City Lord of Arid Wind said.

Great Sage Biyun watched the scene unfold, understanding Yuanxiu’s decision.

The three of them dared to stay because they had their own advantages. Yuanxiu, by comparison, was a bit lacking.

“I’ll escort Brother Yuanxiu out first.” Luo Feng had no grudges against Lord of Yuanxiu Mansion, and since he voluntarily stepped back, Luo Feng naturally directed the dark world to wrap around Lord of Yuanxiu Mansion and send him out.

With a swoosh.

Lord of Yuanxiu Mansion was transported to the edge of the dark world and touched the membrane of the world, then completely disappeared.

…

Standing outside, Lord of Yuanxiu Mansion gazed at the immense dark world from afar.

“Great Sage Biyun and City Lord of Arid Wind are both Chaos Realm Transcendents of the highest order. As for Yan Su, his ability to preserve his life is unparalleled.” Lord of Yuanxiu Mansion shook his head. “But I can’t afford to die.”

If he were to die once, he would need to repurchase Primordial materials to reforge his Dark Mansion.

“My best way to improve is to become a Divine King. Once I master a branch of the Great Dao, my Dark Mansion will naturally undergo a qualitative transformation.” Lord of Yuanxiu Mansion thought. Though he had been accumulating strength for countless ages, breaking through the bottleneck to become a Divine King was still incredibly difficult.

Every Chaos Realm Transcendent yearned to become a Divine King.

“I’ll watch from here for now.” Lord of Yuanxiu Mansion decided not to think further.

******

Within the vast dark world, the three Chaos Realm Transcendents stood in different positions, all observing Luo Feng. Since his breakthrough, Luo Feng had yet to fully display his strength, and the outside world knew nothing about him.

“Since you all wish to fight for the Blood Spirit Gold Pearls, then let’s settle this with a battle,” Luo Feng said with a smile.

Boom!

Suddenly, a mighty black river surged out from where Luo Feng stood, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

At the same time, the dark world’s membrane also had black rivers flowing out, and the entire dark world began to shrink. Earlier, Luo Feng had expanded the dark world to trap all his enemies inside.

“Brother Luo He, what do you call this world?” Great Sage Biyun, dressed in blue, asked with interest.

Luo Feng smiled and replied, “Black River World.”

“Black River?”

Great Sage Biyun glanced at the surging black river, nodding calmly. “The Black River rushes forth, truly extraordinary.”

In an instant, the surging black river engulfed Great Sage Biyun, who vanished from sight. The figure she had displayed was merely a projection condensed from her strength; her true body had always been merged with the heavens and earth.

“Slash!”

A terrifying edge split the heavens and earth, and even tore through the surging black river. But cutting water with a sword only makes the water flow, and the Black River naturally reformed and continued to surge.

Terrifying edges erupted repeatedly, each time splitting part of the river. Yet, more Black River water surged forth, making Great Sage Biyun’s attacks seem futile.

“My Heavenly Severing Sword Technique can’t shake him?” Great Sage Biyun was utterly astonished.

She had trained in the Primordial Secret Technique, the Heavenly Severing Sword Technique, and her master, Emperor Qing, had personally forged a Divine King-level weapon for her—the Heavenly Severing Sword. With this ideal weapon, her attacks were even more terrifying.

Yet now, her peerless sword technique could only sever a small portion of the boundless Black River.

“I’ve unleashed my full strength, striking thirteen times consecutively, and already consumed 30% of my divine power reserves. Yet the power of Luo He’s Black River remains nearly unchanged. Among the Chaos Realm Transcendents, he must be the strongest,” Great Sage Biyun thought in shock.

“Kill, kill, kill!” City Lord of Arid Wind wielded dual spears, his aura surging as he charged toward Luo Feng’s true body.

But the endless Black River flooded over him, trapping him as if he were caught in a swamp. Every time the river’s waves crashed into him, he stumbled backward. He couldn’t even get close to Luo Feng; instead, he was being pushed further away.

Rumble~~~

The Black River surged with waves, sweeping up City Lord of Arid Wind, leaving him powerless to control himself.

“How is he so strong?” City Lord of Arid Wind couldn’t believe it. “Can a Chaos Realm Transcendent really be this powerful?”

“I…” The gray shadow of Yan Su was equally stunned, for the Black River had already enveloped every corner, including his location. The immense force shattered one of his incarnations instantly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One by one, Yan Su’s hidden, ordinary incarnations were annihilated, leaving only one powerful incarnation that could withstand most of the Black River’s force and barely preserve his life.

“We can’t fight him. The gap is too wide.” The gray shadow of Yan Su’s remaining strong incarnation shifted its body to avoid the river’s waves, using its ability to turn incorporeal to reduce the impact.

When Luo Feng wielded billions of Black River tendrils, he could only perform the simplest attacks—surging, crashing, sweeping—but even the most basic moves were overwhelming for these Chaos Realm Transcendents.

“This Great Sage Biyun is quite something; she even managed to destroy three of

my Black River tendrils,” Luo Feng was a little surprised, but inside the Star Tower, he quickly created three new Black River tendrils to replenish them.

“Great Sage Biyun’s attacks are terrifying, but it seems her divine body is average. She’s already consumed a lot of divine power after such a short confrontation,” Luo Feng observed.

Great Sage Biyun had formidable attack power and superior evasion techniques, but her body was too fragile.

City Lord of Arid Wind’s attacks were weaker, but his physical strength was much greater. Though Luo Feng’s Black River swept over him, it couldn’t harm him at all.

As for Yan Su? His only advantage was his unique incarnation technique, making him much weaker than the other two.

“Die!”

Luo Feng looked toward the distant Yan Su, and instantly, numerous Black River tendrils transformed into blades. Thirty thousand blade lights erupted simultaneously, all executing Luo Feng’s simplified move, the Blade River Slash.

With Luo Feng’s mastery of the Heaven-Cleaving Lineage and Dark Heaven Lineage at the peak of Chaos, combined with his long study of the first volume of the Seventy-Two Slash Annihilation, his understanding of swordsmanship was naturally profound.

Thirty thousand blade lights unleashed the Blade River Slash, far from his limit.

While his surging Black River continued to engulf the other two opponents, thirty thousand blade lights chased down Yan Su. Wherever the thirty thousand blade lights passed, the space was annihilated, and even the membrane of the Caged World began to show cracks. Beyond the cracks lay unimaginable terror.

“This—”

Yan Su stared at the cracks forming in the membrane of the Caged World. From a glance, there were at least dozens of fine fissures, and his heart trembled in fear.

These were cracks in the Caged World!

Under such an onslaught, unless one reached the extreme of incorporeality and merged with the world’s membrane, there was no place to hide!

“The Two Realms Palace has truly harmed me!” Yan Su’s heart filled with bitterness as the thirty thousand blade lights’ terrifying force annihilated him. Even with his body’s ability to turn incorporeal, reducing the force by 70-80%, his body was still obliterated, leaving nothing behind.

“A world that traps enemies, a Black River domain… and thirty thousand blade lights that can break through the membrane of the Caged World?” Great Sage Biyun witnessed the scene and lost all desire to fight. “Among the Chaos Realm Transcendents on the Origin Continent, Luo He must be the strongest!”

The top-ranking Chaos Realm Transcendents were even stronger than Great Sage Biyun, and each of them was extraordinary. Some had mastered Primordial Secret Techniques related to the Great Dao of Time, while others had initiated the Infinite Primordial Body.

However, none of them had the terrifying oppressive power that Luo He did! World, domain, slaughter… even Luo He’s physical body could force the supreme rules to retreat.

“Such an opponent is flawless; there’s no way to fight him.”

Buzz!

In an instant, Great Sage Biyun merged with the Divine King weapon, the Heavenly Severing Sword, unleashing a desperate blow. With an infinite sharpness, her first sword strike pierced the dark world’s membrane, creating a hole.

The sword light passed through, and she fled in that instant.

Luo Feng watched the scene unfold.

“My dark world’s membrane still can’t trap Biyun,” Luo Feng wasn’t surprised. The membrane of the world was vast and dispersed, while the opponent had concentrated all their power into one point! Thus, completely trapping an enemy was extremely difficult.

Even if Lord of Yuanxiu Mansion had refined the Dark Mansion Prison, it could only temporarily hold enemies; they could still break out again.

Being able to trap someone for even a few moments was already impressive.

“Yan Su was too weak to break through my dark world,” Luo Feng looked at the City Lord of Arid Wind, who was still struggling in the surging Black River. “The City Lord of Arid Wind is physically strong, but he’s too slow. Even though he’s caught in the Black River, he hasn’t been able to reach the edge of my world.”

Amidst the surging Black River, the City Lord of Arid Wind struggled to control his movements.

Even now, he hadn’t touched the edge of the world or Luo Feng’s true body.

“Luo He! I admit that you’re stronger than me!” The City Lord of Arid Wind roared, “But you still can’t harm me!”

Boom boom boom!!!

At that moment, as the Blood Spirit Star erupted, liquid flames sprayed out, carrying three Blood Spirit Gold Pearls, which were naturally swept up by the Black River.

“You can’t harm me?” Luo Feng gazed at him. “I want to see just how strong your Primordial Bloodline body really is!”

With a single thought, Luo Feng’s Black River surged, pulling the City Lord of Arid Wind closer to him.

“His domain is too powerful,” City Lord of Arid Wind realized, watching as he was helplessly drawn closer to Luo Feng. “Even Great Sage Biyun had to use the Heavenly Severing Sword to escape. He must be the strongest Chaos Realm Transcendent on the Origin Continent! Still, I can protect myself.”
