***********************************
This stream of information contained much common knowledge that the lords should know!
"A lord-level cave residence has already been prepared for me?"
Luo Feng learnt about the structure of the origin land, the secret area, the formation composition, the entry and exit routes, etc., from the information stream.
Each lord occupies a huge cave and sits in charge of one place.
Luo Feng's cave is located at one of the formation nodes, and his arrival would further stabilize the formations of the Origin Land.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng's thoughts swept across the entire Origin Land, coming into contact with the other seven lords, as well as over 200 world-class Hunyuan beings, more than 80 million high-level Hunyuan beings, and some practitioners trapped within cages.
Only the seven lords could sense Luo Feng's thoughts.
"Luo Feng, congratulations on becoming the eighth lord of our practitioner faction!" Yuan was overjoyed.
"The situation of this war will be reversed, and the fate of the entire practitioner domain will change because of you!"
"Luo Feng, quickly familiarize yourself with the information, then comprehend your own combat techniques."
"After that, we'll discuss how to coordinate." Lord Jin urged impatiently.
"We've been suppressed for too long! Now, we're just waiting for you to join us for the counterattack!"
"Brother Luo Feng, the life energy you possess is far greater than mine!" Lord Wu Lan was also pleased.
In the past, during group battles among the lords, he had been the main one holding the line.
Those Hunyuan Ancestors wielded the highest-level power, and their methods were also unpredictable.
Even with Yuan's formation support, Lord Wu Lan could barely block the majority of their attacks.
Now, with Luo Feng joining them, the pressure would be greatly reduced.
He and Luo Feng could coordinate seamlessly.
"Brother Luo Feng, congratulations! With you and Wu Lan here, our practitioner faction will have a much easier time confronting the innate Hunyuan lifeform faction. The two of you alone can stabilize the situation!" Lord Naigu was in high spirits.
He had been pessimistic before, but now he was optimistic. With Wu Lan, a lord of unparalleled defense, paired with Luo Feng, whose energy reserves were more than three times Lord Wu Lan's, the other physically weaker lords would have a much easier time in group battles.
Just like last time, when Lord Wu Lan was restrained, the Hunyuan Ancestors launched a frenzied attacks, nearly destroying the combat clones of Lord Jin, Lord Ming huang, and Lord Mo man.
Such perilous situations were common!
Lord Naigu was tired of this constant sense of danger- he wanted more stability.
"I've been looking forward to your arrival for a long time!" Lord Mo man was delighted.
They all knew Luo Feng was a lord who had achieved the Path of Breaking Through with sheer force, with life as his core.
What life meant was clear to everyone- who wouldn't want a comrade skilled in the Dao of life?
"Everyone, I'll first study combat techniques!" Luo Feng responded to his seven companions.
He knew that in the future, these seven lords would be his most trusted Companions in the Infinite Hunyuan Space, the sturdiest pillars protecting the entire practitioner faction.
In an instant, Luo Feng arrived at a vast abode. This cave occupied a massive land within an ocean of the Origin Land, taking up about one percent of its total area.
Built upon the foundation of the Origin Land, this cave residence contained layers upon layers of space-time formations, stacked together to form a realm even larger than a single Origin World.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng sat cross-legged at the center of this vast space-time, first acquainting himself with the combat abilities of the seven lords.
Having no experience in battles at the level of lords and Hunyuan Ancestors, Luo Feng naturally needed to study carefully.
His current thought-processing speed was incomparably faster than before. With just a sweep of his perception, he fully grasped the combat techniques and cultivation experiences of the seven lords.
"Lord Jin created the Dao of Hunyuan Destruction. According to his own description, his Hunyuan Destruction Dao is 90% destruction and 10% life."
Because pure destruction makes it difficult to construct a lifeform, so a touch of life's profundity must be integrated.
"The Void-Severing Blade I exchanged for is also roughly 90% destruction and 10% life."
Luo Feng flipped his hand and summoned the Void-Severing Blade.
Now, this blade no longer exerted any pressure on him.
"Lord Jin's dao is very similar to that of the Void-Severing Blade. I wonder if there's a connection." Luo Feng pondered.
Holding the Void-Severing Blade, he could faintly sense a place of endless destruction.
Even with his current strength, that place still felt vast and unfathomable.
It also nurtured thousands of weapons, each one nearly indestructible and capable of serving as a lord-level weapon.
The Void-Severing Blade contained the highest level of destruction profound mysteries- it could indeed serve as a lord's weapon!
Only now did Luo Feng confirm this.
And in that mysterious place, there were thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of such weapons?
That place must hold many secrets.
"After the war, I'll take my time to explore it."
Luo Feng was deeply interested in that mysterious place.
He believed that the other lords likely had intelligence on this mysterious location, but the most urgent matter now was the war.
Luo Feng mainly focused on understanding the intelligence regarding lords and Hunyuan Ancestors, as well as some common knowledge.
The vast ocean of information could be studied leisurely later.
As a lord, he could perceive that the Infinite Hunyuan Space held many unknown secrets.
Luo Feng sensed numerous terrifying, mysterious places scattered throughout, some of which posed a significant threat even to him.
Before becoming a lord, Luo Feng had already known of some- such as the Infinite World, the birthplace of the Infinite Serpent clan.
Through that world, they could instantly appear anywhere in the Infinite Hunyuan Space.
There is also the Origin Land, which is occupied by the practitioner faction, and many other mysterious places similar to the one linked to the Void-Severing Blade.
He would explore them all slowly later!
"Lord Wu Lan cultivated the Dao of Hunyuan Matter, but in reality, it is 90% matter and 10% Boundless profound mysteries combined."
Pure matter's defensive capabilities weren't actually the strongest- they required the Boundless profound mysteries to complement them, enabling the conversion between matter and energy.
According to Lord Wu Lan's judgement, if he could integrate more of the Boundless profound mysteries, his methods would become far more flexible, rather than being so rigid.
Among the information Luo Feng received, there was a complete record of Lord Wu Lan's Dao and his legacy.
"Learning by imitation is impossible- every lord's Dao is infused with their own spiritual will and can only serve as a reference at most!"
Lord Minghuang- Dao of Hunyuan Thunder, 80% thunder and 20% water!
Only Lord Mo man is the most extreme and pure. His Dao is the pure Dao of Hunyuan Wave!
After learning this, Luo Feng was shocked.
Among the eight lords, including himself, Lord Mo man was the only one who pursued absolute purity.
His body was essentially a single "wave," making him the smallest in physical form among the lords and the one with the lowest energy reserves.
'How insane is that?'
After studying Lord Mo man's information, Luo Feng learned that Lord Mo man was the first to achieve the status of Origin World Sovereign through the Dao of Faith.
His voice could command the submission of countless beings, and he had pioneered the pure Dao of Hunyuan Wave.
This Dao is particularly lethal against the Hunyuan Ancestors- its power silently seepes into their very essence, and the longer they fought, the more damage they accumulates.
"Lord Naigu's Dao is somewhat similar to senior Yuan's," Luo Feng noticed.
"Lord Naigu follows the Hunyuan Bloodline path, which requires absorbing the bloodlines of Hunyuan Ancestor-level beings."
"Each Hunyuan Ancestor's bloodline is unique and incredibly difficult to master. With every new bloodline he assimilates, Lord Naigu grows stronger- theoretically, he has no upper limit."
As for Yuan... his path is the Dao of Hunyuan Rule Operation.
But Yuan is the one who had comprehended the most Daos in the practitioner faction.
He had initially mastered the perfect operation of nine Daos, forming a systematic framework of rule operation, which allowed him to ascend and become a Lord.
While other lords specialized in certain areas, Yuan had mastered multiple Daos simultaneously. Each Dao is a complete Great Dao at the God King's Ultimate Realm level, and so far, Yuan had already comprehended 25 different Great Daos.
Nine Great Daos operating in perfect harmony formed the foundation of the Hunyuan Rule Operation Dao, elevating him to become a Lord.
As he continued to comprehend more Great Daos and integrate them into his system, his strength kept growing.
Disregarding Lord Xingmang, Yuan is now noticeably stronger than the other lords.
Lord Naigu and Yuan's Paths are unique- they could accumulate and grow indefinitely.
However, Lord Naigu, Wu Lan, Jin, Minghuang, and Lord Mo man are still on the same level, while Yuan had surpassed them by half a step.
"And Lord Xingmang... he is even stronger than Lord Naigu and the others."
"Before me, he was the only one who had achieved the Path of Breaking Through sheer force!"
"Lord Xingmang is a full step above the other lords?"
After carefully reviewing the legacy information, Luo Feng realized.
Taking that "next step" meant comprehending a second Hunyuan-level Dao- a path representing the pinnacle of power.
If one's abilities are sufficient, it is possible to grasp a second Hunyuan-level Dao, which would naturally elevate their strength far beyond that of ordinary lords.
However, every lord's path is the one they desired most deeply- only such dedication could lead to become a Lord.
Switching to another path?
That would no longer be their truest aspiration.
Even with a lord's enhanced cognitive speed, comprehension, and perception, the chance of grasping a second Hunyuan-level Dao is practically zero.
That is what the other Lords know!
However Lord Xingmang is the exception.
Before breaking free from the cage, he had already comprehended the Hunyuan Space-Time Dao as a mere Semi-Hunyuan lifeform.
At that time, his life level was still low, and his understanding of the void and the time-space of the Hunyuan realm was limited.
Thus, the Hunyuan Space-Time Dao he achieved through the Path of Breaking Through with Force was 90% space and 10% time, making him a formidable combatant.
After becoming a lord, he used his elevated existence to comprehend a second Hunyuan Space-Time Dao- this time, it was 70% time and 30% space.
The synergy of these two daos made him the most terrifying existence in all of the Infinite Hunyuan Space when it came to space-time manipulation.
His combat prowess is a full tier above the other lords.
He is omnipresent, existing across all time, and utterly unkillable. While other lords are powerful, their main combat clones could still be destroyed.
Even Lord Wu Lan's body could be pinned down or trapped- but Lord Xingmang could never be killed. No matter how devastating the attack is, his form could always manifest from the past or future.
There was no way to truly eliminate him- he could appear anywhere, at any moment.
His existence was the reason the practitioner faction's territory remained unshaken.
The innate Hunyuan lifeform faction had thrown everything they had into the war, yet they had only managed to breach 600+ World Clusters so far.
Why was it so difficult?
Why had so many world-level and high-level Hunyuan beings perished?
Because of Lord Xingmang's omnipresence.
"No wonder Yuan believed Lord Xingmang had contributed the most."
Though Yuan is being modest- every subsequent lord's growth had his fingerprints all over it.
Luo Feng reflected.
It is precisely because of the first lord's emergence and the resources he provided that later lords could rise.
Without Yuan, how could Lord Xingmang have exchanged for a world-class Hunyuan lifeform servant before breaking free from the cage?
Without Yuan, Luo Feng would never have obtained the Star Tower or the countless Hunyuan bloodlines to study- ascending to become a lord would have been infinitely harder.
"Lord Xingmang's path aligns with my own thoughts!" Luo Feng had a similar idea.
Before breaking free from the cage, he had already noticed that his Life-Death Dao, under the guidance of the Star Tower's blood scales, had skewed toward 70% life and 30% destruction.
At the time, he had no choice but to commit fully to that path- but it was also the one he preferred.
As a living being, of course life took precedence.
But to annihilate enemies, destruction must be the priority!
"I can attempt to create a new Hunyuan Life-Death Dao- one centered on destruction!"
Luo Feng had considered this before, but his lifeform level had been too low to attempt a second path.
Now, as a lord, he could finally try.
"If I succeed, I can even give it a new name."
He glanced at the Void-Severing Blade in his hand.
Names are just labels.
Forging a new path would take an unknown amount of time- he would ponder it after the war.
Luo Feng is well aware of the difficulty.
Every other lord had failed, and even Lord Xingmang had taken an eternity to grasp his second Dao.
The Hunyuan Ancestors are no pushovers either.
Luo Feng studied his future opponents carefully.
Though these Hunyuan Ancestors had reached their level by relying on their life cores, that didn't make them weak.
Among them, some were so powerful that certain aspects of their abilities surpassed even the lords.
Before Lord Xingmang comprehended his second Space-Time Dao, there were several beings in the Infinite Hunyuan Space whose mastery of space-time exceeded his. Only after his breakthrough did he claim the top spot.
The combined destructive power of over a dozen Hunyuan Ancestors was terrifying.
"Can I even withstand that?" Luo Feng was surprised!
After familiarizing himself with his allies and enemies, Luo Feng began crafting his own systematic combat techniques based on his Dao.
