Chapter 237: The Excitement of Morosa

“This is Luo He’s true strength?” Emperor Fu curiously observed Luo Feng. It was his first time seeing Luo Feng’s Black-Robed, Golden-Masked form. As the strongest existence in deducing heavenly secrets across the entire Origin Continent, just a single glance from him could gather an enormous amount of information.

Emperor Fu refined his body through a Formation Array; his physical body itself was a massive, movable array. Wherever he went, vast expanses naturally fell under the influence of his array, allowing him to collect countless subtle details.

“Wherever Luo He steps, the void bears the pressure.”

“His life force surpasses both mine and Emperor Yan’s!” Emperor Fu instantly made his judgment.

Every form of life, whether a grain of sand or a particle, exerted pressure upon the void as its carrier—only the degree differed, weak or strong.

Life force encompassed both the physical body and the soul!

In Emperor Fu’s array sense, Luo Feng seemed like a terrifying celestial body influencing the void—far greater than the influence of Emperor Fu or Emperor Yan.

“In terms of life force, among the Twelve Emperors, only Emperor Ming rivals him.” Emperor Fu was certain of this. Instinctively, he excluded Emperor Qing, since Emperor Qing had already surpassed the Ultimate Realm, with his incarnations venturing into the outer worlds.

Emperor Ming’s mind transcended Beyond Divine King-level, his cultivation of the Origin Path of Matter was profound, and his excavation of the Primordial Bloodline reached extreme depths! His physical body was also the strongest among the Twelve Emperors.

In Emperor Fu’s view, more than half of the Twelve Emperors, when facing Emperor Ming one-on-one, would be utterly annihilated.

And at this moment, within Emperor Fu’s perception, the Black-Robed, Golden-Masked man’s life force equaled about seventy percent of Emperor Ming’s! It completely surpassed that of the other eleven Emperors.

“Is Emperor Fu observing this Black Robe?” Emperor Yan could not discern Luo Feng’s truth, but he knew Emperor Fu well. At a glance, he could tell that Emperor Fu was carefully analyzing him. “Did I guess wrong? Emperor Fu and the Black Robe are not familiar?”

Luo Feng approached then, smiling. “It is my honor to meet the two of you. One is the ruling Emperor of the Ancient Flame Kingdom today, and the other was once the very first Emperor.”

“This is also our first meeting with Brother Black Robe.” Emperor Yan smiled as well.

“Indeed, meeting Brother Black Robe for the first time, he is extraordinary.” Emperor Fu praised.

The atmosphere of their meeting was quite good.

Luo Feng said, “I have brought the Thousand Dream Fruit. Did you bring the Primordial Bloodline of the Ultimate Realm beast materials?”

“Of course.” Emperor Fu replied.

“This time, Emperor Fu overruled many objections, insisting on exchanging fifty percent of a corpse’s worth of materials for this fruit.” Emperor Yan spoke as he observed the expressions and auras of both Emperor Fu and Luo He.

Emperor Fu glanced at Emperor Yan before saying, “Indeed, I spearheaded it. According to the other Emperors, twenty to thirty percent of the materials would have sufficed.”

“With just two or three parts, you wouldn’t obtain my Thousand Dream Fruit.” Luo Feng smiled, “The three great foreign clans have already offered prices equal to four parts of a corpse.”

“Let’s verify the treasures then.” Emperor Fu waved his hand, and a black space bag appeared. Its mouth opened, revealing the massive corpse materials of Primordial Bloodline beasts of the Ultimate Realm.

Luo Feng likewise turned his hand to produce a treasure casket. Opening it revealed the Thousand Dream Fruit inside.

Both sides inspected the goods.

Luo Feng extended a thread of thought into the space bag to examine it carefully.

Even with just portions of a corpse, one could sense the full appearance of the beast when probing with thought! It was easy to deduce how much of the whole body the materials comprised.

“These materials indeed came from three creatures, all cultivated within the Origin Continent.” Luo Feng concluded. “Altogether, about fifty percent of corpse materials.” řÅNоβЁṦ

“And this is indeed the Thousand Dream Fruit.” Emperor Fu confirmed.

“No problem, let’s trade then.” Emperor Fu said, and with a wave, the space bag flew toward Luo Feng.

With a single thought, Luo Feng let the casket fly toward Emperor Fu.

Both sides were extremely vigilant, wary of a snatch. If Luo Feng attempted robbery, Emperor Fu, by custom, would summon several prepared Emperors. Together with Emperor Fu’s grand array, they would besiege Luo Feng.

Luo Feng had likewise made preparations, ready to activate his Star Tower. At the first sign of conflict, he would imprison both Emperor Fu and Emperor Yan within the Star Tower!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The treasures flew to each side without incident.

“Very good.” Luo Feng reached out to claim the space bag.

“If there are Four Great Treasures, our Ancient Flame Kingdom is always glad to purchase them.” Emperor Fu stored away the casket.

The trade successful, both sides relaxed.

“Haha, as always, I negotiate with five parties whenever I have a treasure, and it goes to the highest bidder.” Luo Feng was in a good mood. “Then I shall take my leave.”

“Brother Black Robe, may I ask one more thing—why did you kill the three Rulers of Shiguo?” Emperor Yan suddenly asked.

Luo Feng gave him a sidelong glance, half-smiling. “I wanted to kill them. Do I need a reason?”

Having said this, Luo Feng stepped away.

With a flash of Blacklight, he vanished.

“This Black Robe has quite the temper.” Emperor Yan remarked.

“With strength comes temper.” Emperor Fu replied, then departed. He needed to deliver the Thousand Dream Fruit to the clan’s treasure vault. Only with the Ancestor’s approval could he consume it.

Emperor Yan remained, frowning slightly.

“It seems the two of them are not all that familiar.” Emperor Yan was somewhat puzzled. “And this Black Robe… he paid me no heed at all.”

From the recklessness in his words, Emperor Yan was certain.

“Interesting.”

Emperor Yan smiled faintly. “Since he has revealed himself, we will discover his identity in the end.”

He, too, vanished, returning to his Flame Capital.

******

Huyang City, within the City Lord’s mansion, inside a Quiet Chamber—one of the layers within the Star Tower.

Luo Feng was there, retrieving the corpse materials from the space bag.

The massive materials of three Primordial Bloodline beasts of the Ultimate Realm filled the space, piled up like endless mountain ranges! One enormous silver-white horn stretched for trillions of kilometers.

“All of them were cultivated within the Origin Continent.” Luo Feng was very satisfied. At the very instant he examined them earlier, his Formless and Phaseless ability had already confirmed that as long as he unraveled their internal structures, he could transform accordingly.

“These Primordial Bloodline beasts had only ordinary intelligence, their realms were low, yet they still displayed Ultimate Realm might. Their bodies are truly terrifying.”

Luo Feng’s eyes burned with desire.

“Roar~~~”

“Hiss~~~”

“Wooo!”

Above the corpse materials, three enormous phantoms gathered.

This was the will of the bloodline!

The will remnants of the Primordial Life—the source of the bloodline of these three beasts. One was shaped like an eight-clawed creature, one was serpent-like, and one was a furry beast. Luo Feng cared little for such remnants.

“In terms of physical body alone, they surpass even the Ultimate Realm lifeforms we cultivate.” Luo Feng stood before a segment of the massive serpent’s body, which stretched more than a hundred trillion kilometers. He studied it carefully.

“It carries the ‘Twenty-Four Phases,’ the ‘All-Things Phase,’ the ‘Three-Lives Phase’…” Luo Feng marveled. “Just from what I can see, there are seven Phases.”

It was like seeing a complete Origin Path.

Viewed from different angles, it displayed different Phases.

Thus, if one truly comprehended a full Origin Path, the Ultimate Realm lifeform cultivated could potentially embody multiple Phases. The more Phases it encompassed, the stronger the body.

For instance, the ‘Twenty-Four Phases Form’ was one of the manifestations of the complete Origin Path of Life.

Among Primordial Bloodline beasts with Second Stage Divine King strength, even possessing the ‘Twenty-Four Phases Form’ made them exceptional. None could embody two Phases.

Yet these Primordial Bloodline beasts of the Ultimate Realm embodied multiple Phases as a matter of course.

“This multi-clawed, horned creature—I can see it embodies six Phases.”

“This furry beast—I can see… as many as ten Phases!” Luo Feng was stunned. “This creature must have been able to walk freely across different timelines, grow large or small, even devour the heavens and earth.”

Generally speaking, the more Phases a body embodied, the stronger it was.

“This multi-clawed horned beast, its cultivation difficulty is slightly lower.” Luo Feng thought. “But I currently only grasp one ‘Twenty-Four Phases Form.’ I still need to comprehend the other five forms.”

Each form was a Phase. One had to fully understand the composition of all six, and then, with Formless and Phaseless, one could transform into the multi-clawed horned beast’s body.

The serpent-like and furry beasts would be even harder.

Observing the materials of the three beasts—six Phases, seven Phases, ten Phases—with some overlap, Luo Feng realized they revealed a total of fifteen Phases.

“Watching the real materials… feels completely different from merely comprehending the Origin Path.” With tangible specimens in hand, Luo Feng felt guided in detail, making research far easier.

In the past, Luo Feng had only sketched countless secret patterns out of thin air, attempting to deduce other forms.

“That’s right, Morosa!” Luo Feng suddenly remembered—one major reason he had purchased these materials was to foster Morosa’s growth.

Whoosh!

Luo Feng at once separated some of the scattered fragments—about one percent of the whole!

“Morosa.” Luo Feng called mentally. Soon, Morosa rushed over, summoned into the Star Tower.

“Master, what is it—” Morosa’s eyes went wide when he saw the colossal corpse materials piled like mountain ranges, exuding overwhelming auras.

“This, this is?” Morosa could hardly believe it.

The best he had ever consumed was merely fragments of a Primordial Bloodline beast of Second Stage Divine King strength, far inferior to what lay before him now.

“Master, these… these are all prepared for me?” Morosa looked at his master in trembling excitement.

Luo Feng smiled at him, nodding. “Of course.”

“Wonderful, Master, you are too good to me!” Morosa was overwhelmed with joy. At this moment, he felt his very “realm” surging with instinctive hunger, desperate to devour this food. Deep within, he sensed—

That this sustenance was enough to elevate him to life’s ultimate peak, to become a true Ultimate Realm Beast!

“To acquire this food, I paid quite a heavy price.” Luo Feng sighed.

Raising a Realm Beast was no easy feat.

Fragments of Primordial Bloodline beasts of Second Stage Divine King strength could still be purchased. But complete corpses? The Two Ancient Kingdoms never sold those.

As for even greater beasts?

Only the Four Great Treasures qualified for such exchanges. Even the least of them—Heavenly Treasures worth over a billion merits—were eyed by many Emperors. Luo Feng had overpowered rivals and blocked the native creatures of the Dream Domain to secure the Thousand Dream Fruit.

Without strength, such treasures could never be won!

Without strength, he might have been robbed immediately after the trade with the Two Ancient Kingdoms.

“Master, the price you paid is worth it.” Morosa was thrilled. “I am absolutely confident this food will let me reach the Ultimate Realm. Then I can aid you.”

“You must ration it carefully.” Luo Feng cautioned. “If you can become Ultimate Realm after eating seventy or eighty percent, you must return the rest to me—I still need it.”

“Don’t worry, once I reach the Ultimate Realm, I won’t need them.” Morosa said. “Send me to a secluded chamber quickly, I can’t wait any longer.” He had dreamed of reaching the Ultimate Realm.

“Haha, then go at once.”

Luo Feng laughed and, with a wave, shifted the towering corpse materials and Morosa into another layer of space.
