“My Path of Life and Death is completely stuck!”
“Could it be that the path I explored on my own is a dead end?”
Luo Feng couldn’t help but have some doubts.
During the time of being a Godly King, there was a complete Great Dao to refer to! So there wouldn’t be any dead ends; if you couldn’t understand it, it was just because your comprehension wasn’t enough, your ability wasn’t enough.
But during the Divine Emperor Stage, you have to grope in the dark, and it’s easy to go the wrong way, completely falling into a desperate situation, never able to progress.
Why is the fusion path difficult? Because its complexity far exceeds a single path! It’s very easy to get stuck and unable to move forward! Even with the comprehension of the Master of Deceit Workshop, the fusion path only reached the early stage of Divine Emperor.
“I have the Eye of Life and Death, having observed so many Primordial bloodlines, my path should not be wrong!”
“The path is not wrong, so how do I break through the bottleneck next?”
Luo Feng murmured softly.
“For Life and Destruction Fusion, in the direction of life, what I pursue is the ultimate physical body! The bigger, the better! Big represents strong energy. Big represents the hope of bursting with immense power. Big also represents endless vitality.”
“But… when the physical body becomes large enough, how to control it?”
“According to my estimation, the Half Primordial Life and Death Path could theoretically reach ‘1.2 billion times’ the Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve.”
After the battle in Yulan City, Luo Feng went into seclusion again, advancing comprehensively, not far from the ‘Half Primordial Life and Death Path,’ and could vaguely judge the theoretical power the Half Primordial Life and Death Path should have!
As the hardest of the Three Invincible Paths. Once this path succeeds, it is absolutely invincible.
“Back in the middle stage of the Divine Emperor’s life and death path, the Undying Blood Sea Body had a 500 times Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve, which was peak combat power. At the limit, it could also control over ten thousand times the energy reserve, though strength did not increase.”
“And now, my Undying Blood Sea Body has a 3000 times Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve as peak combat power. At the limit, it can control 100,000 times the energy reserve. Any more and, because the body is too large, it cannot be perfectly controlled, causing strength to decline.”
“But…”
“The Half Primordial Life and Death Path theoretically could have a 1.2 billion times Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve. How do I perfectly control them?”
“Such a vast body, once I drive it, even walking will be difficult.”
“This indicates that, in terms of ‘controlling the body,’ I have a significant flaw.” Luo Feng faced this bottleneck.
His Path of Life and Death was already very perfect in many aspects.
A vast physical body, indestructible vitality, how to unleash immense power… all aspects have reached the predetermined target!
Only one aspect!
When the body was small, it was fine, as Luo Feng’s current body’s total reserve did not exceed a 5000 times Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve, naturally driving it was easy.
But the theoretical ‘1.2 billion times’ energy reserve is far from enough when driving and operating it.
But if the vast body is sacrificed, this path cannot be called perfection! It wouldn’t be the ‘Divine Emperor Perfection’ Path of Life and Death.
“According to the experience of many Primordial bloodlines, to drive such a vast physical body, it is estimated that two conditions need to be met: first, in terms of controlling the physical body, there needs to be an essential metamorphosis. Second, the spiritual will must also break out of the Braided Cage. Only when both conditions are met can one perhaps perfectly control such a vast physical body.”
When chatting with Yuan Xiang Palace Master and the Cultivator Team, Luo Feng also knew that when the spiritual will just breaks out of the Braided Cage, its power only increases tenfold.
Because historically, the first path of the invincible three, ‘will breaking out of the Braided Cage,’ is the most, and they have also seen a few.
The spiritual will is invincible, and with just one thought, it can completely suppress Yuan Xiang Palace Master and others. But it can only suppress! It cannot achieve ‘will annihilation.’
“The spiritual will only increases tenfold or so, which helps but is far from the level of ‘perfect control.'” Luo Feng understood this.
Such a vast body, even walking is arduous.
Let alone tenfold, even if the will increases a hundredfold, the vast body could probably fly agilely and perform some simple moves. But achieving the most profound moves is still impossible, much less multitasking.
While using the vast body to deploy formations to trap enemies, and at the same time using close combat techniques, then using the Biomimetic Destruction Eye to observe, and then using Secret Treasure against enemies…
Multitasking would be the true perfect control of the physical body!
The spiritual will has only increased tenfold, still far short.
“Far too short.”
“The spiritual will breaking out of the Braided Cage, according to my estimation, is still far from enough. This means my path may be wrong.”
“Perhaps my Path of Life and Death should not pursue the extreme vastness of the physical body.”
Luo Feng also reflected on himself.
Searching in the dark requires constant reflection and correction.
“Let’s first try to explore methods for ‘controlling the physical body.'” Luo Feng was not one to easily give up; this path was the direction he set from the start, and once the fundamental direction changes, the entire Path of Life and Death would need to be overturned.
He would need to start from the Ultimate Realm of God King, and redevelop and explore!
A blank slate is best for painting!
Even if he overturns the past path, he would still be influenced by the old path, and it’s hard for the new path to be realized.
This is cultivation!
One wrong step, every step thereafter is wrong!
“As long as the path is cleared, there is no mistake!”
“How long have I been cultivating? The Ancestors of the two countries have experienced several Reincarnation Eras on the Land of Origin, what is this bottleneck?” Luo Feng closed his eyes and began to quietly ponder.
From one Primordial bloodline after another, from the Undying Heart, the Palm World, from the Star Tower, the Eye of Life and Death, he sought some inspiration.
“Including the Star Tower, life and destruction are merely combinations, not fusion.”
“The fusion path has no reference.”
The ordinary path can refer to the mysteries within the corpse materials of Primordial life.
The Fusion Dao! There isn’t even a reference for it!
It’s okay in the early stages, but the further you go, the harder it gets!
Luo Feng truly encountered a major bottleneck on the path from the ‘Late Stage Divine Emperor’ to ‘Divine Emperor Perfection.’
In fact, this isn’t even the hardest part of the fusion path.
From the ‘Path of Divine Emperor Perfection’ to the ‘Path of Primordial Level,’ that’s the truly difficult one, like an insurmountable chasm! It’s countless times harder than the bottleneck Luo Feng faces now!
Many incredibly talented individuals switch to cultivate bloodlines to escape the Braided Cage.
It’s just because the ‘path’ becomes more difficult the further you go, to the point of despair for cultivators.
“Mastering the physical body…”
“How should such a massive physical body be mastered?”
Luo Feng pondered.
Various spirit lights collided while studying each facet of the Primordial Bloodline.
“Wrong.”
“This method is inadequate.”
Prototypes of methods for mastering the physical body emerged in his mind, only to be dismissed by Luo Feng as soon as they formed.
With his wisdom, he already knew the future limits once a prototype appeared.
…
Luo Feng walked on the land of the Dark Sacred Realm, his mind continuously on cultivation, stopping occasionally to comprehend cultivation. If he encountered low-level Primordial lifeforms along the way, Luo Feng naturally exterminated them in passing.
Sometimes, killing the weak would attract stronger ones! After defeating the strong, a terrifying team might come to encircle him.
Luo Feng discovered such threats with the Biomimetic Destruction Eye from afar and immediately traversed between the cracks of heaven and earth to rapidly escape.
“Hmm?”
Luo Feng gazed at the ancient city ahead, “Chengfeng City, have I arrived?”
Continuing to walk and comprehend, half an era had passed before Luo Feng finally reached Chengfeng City!
“Phew.”
Luo Feng fully restrained his aura, stepping across space directly into the city, then walked inside Chengfeng City. The majority of cultivators in the city couldn’t detect his presence.
“The Dark Sacred Realm gathers the strongest from many surrounding Source Worlds and countless worlds. A late-stage Divine Emperor level of enlightenment is the minimum threshold to enter here.”
Many ‘Half Primordial Bloodline Cultivators’ cultivating the bloodline path are at the bottom in the Dark Sacred Realm.
“Bai Yin Divine Emperor and his companions are inside Chengfeng City.” Luo Feng sensed the three friends from the cultivator team through causality but didn’t rush to visit them. Instead, he flew towards the Primordial Hall in the city.
“The central city of the Dark Sacred Realm, ‘Primordial City,’ is the only one with a large Primordial Hall.” Luo Feng also knew this information.
When the Dark Sacred Realm was first established, there was only one city, Primordial City, left by Senior Yuan and others.
Over the long years that followed, cultivators exchanged battle merits to build four additional cities, making it easier for cultivators to hunt the surrounding low-level Primordial lifeforms. The cities of the Dark Sacred Realm have a much higher exchange price compared to those in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm.
“Phew.”
Luo Feng flew directly to the second floor of the Primordial Hall.
On the second floor of the Primordial Hall, two tall figures stood motionless. Only when Luo Feng arrived did they open their eyes simultaneously, their intangible auras enveloping the entire second floor of the Primordial Hall.
“Cultivator Luo Feng, are you here to confirm battle merits or exchange treasures?” one of the tall figures spoke. They were puppets left behind by Senior Yuan and others, absolutely impartial.
“Confirm battle merits.”
Luo Feng nodded, “These are the low-level Primordial lifeform corpses I hunted, please handle them.”
As he spoke, Luo Feng took out the storage bracelet and released its seals.
“Buzz—” The two puppet beings began inspecting the contents of the storage bracelet. Though it contained an alarming number of low-level Primordial lifeform corpses, the puppets remained unfazed.
“Low-level Primordial lifeform corpses, including 9 Super Limit Level, 2902 Divine Emperor Perfection Level, 39522 Late Stage Divine Emperor Level, 68990 Middle Stage Divine Emperor Level, and 83560 Early Stage Divine Emperor Level.”
“Cultivator Luo Feng, your current battle merits are 7,717,660.”
One of the puppets announced the final merits.
Luo Feng heard the number, over seven million battle merits?
The peak-level powerhouses of the Dark Sacred Realm, although weaker than Luo Feng in strength, have accumulated a long lifespan, so they tend to purchase battle merits using Primordial Crystals. After all, the uses of battle merits far exceed those of Primordial Crystals.
Therefore, having millions of battle merits among peak-level entities is quite common. With Primordial Crystals, 100,000 can purchase a single battle merit. Spending tens of billions of Primordial Crystals can buy millions of battle merits.
Many cities have been purchasing battle merits for a long time, and Yulan City also participates in such exchanges.
Although Luo Feng’s battle merits amount to just over seven million, he’s considered extremely wealthy. That’s because his battle merits were entirely earned by himself through hunting! The value of those Primordial lifeform corpses is worth tens of trillions of Primordial Crystals.
“Seven million battle merits should be enough.” Luo Feng thought, turning to head directly to the first floor of the Primordial Hall, intending to sell all these corpses!
