***********************************
The Infinite World, as the first world born from the Infinite Hunyuan Space, there are countless clouds that floats in its sky, each corresponding to an Origin World - a sight too vast to comprehend.
Below, the ground stretches endlessly as pitch-black soil.
Deep within this darkness, countless small serpents are being nurtured - the very descendants of the Infinite Serpent Clan.
These serpents emerge from the soil, peering through the void at the endless expanse of the Infinite Hunyuan Space.
"That Lord Luo Feng is simply too tyrannical! The moment anyone dared to devour an Origin World, he strikes down with his blade!"
"My elder sister couldn't resist secretly devouring an Origin World. She thought she could return to the Infinite World before Lord Luo Feng approached! But who would have thought she would be slain by Lord Luo Feng's clone, even though she was a few World Clusters away!"
Each of these serpents are a World-Level Hunyuan-level descendant of the Infinite Serpent Clan.
For the Infinite Serpent Clan, the best resources are the Origin cores of Origin Worlds! And World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms gain the greatest benefit from devouring these Origin Cores. Thus, these World-Level Hunyuan Infinite Serpents deeply resent Lord Luo Feng.
Yet they are utterly powerless against him!
As the foremost clan within the foremost faction, the Infinite Serpent Clan is naturally proud. Yet when faced with Lord Luo Feng, their only desire is to flee as far as possible - even several World Clusters away offer no sense of security.
"I heard that Yanhuo Hunyuan Ancestor went to confront Lord Luo Feng but Lord Luo Feng slaughtered most of Yanhuo Hunyuan Ancestor's True Body. Now, no Hunyuan Ancestor dares to negotiate."
"After all, he's the one who conquered the 34th Layer of the Abyss of Destruction! His power far surpasses any Hunyuan Ancestor!"
The Infinite Serpents prided themselves most on their leader, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, and the dozen or so Hunyuan Ancestor-level beings within their clan.
Yet they understood that even their combined forces likely couldn't match Lord Luo Feng.
He was simply too powerful!
A single strike had grievously wounded the Immortal existence - Yanhuo Hunyuan Ancestor.
Who would dare challenge him now?
For over two hundred thousand epochs, Lord Luo Feng has relentlessly hunted down all Origin World Devourers. This has stirred discontent among some Hunyuan Ancestors, who have secretly coordinated but still lack the courage to wage war collectively.
After all, two hundred thousand epochs is merely a single cultivation cycle for Hunyuan Ancestors - a tolerable span of time.
If Luo Feng had remained at the strength of the 28th Layer of the Abyss of Destruction, a coalition of powerful Hunyuan Ancestors would likely have already challenged him.
But now that he controls the 34th Layer... Even the Hunyuan Ancestors feel uneasy.
None of these Hunyuan Ancestors are willing to be the "pioneer"; they believe they can endure a little longer.
Let other Hunyuan Ancestors test Luo Feng's strength first!
Let them probe Lord Luo Feng's true capabilities!
As for two hundred thousand epochs?
They possess the patience for such a span.
******
Endless blood-red waves rippled across the horizon of the Mysterious Land - Once known as Blood Crane Territory... Was now renamed as "Galaxy Territory".
Within the desolate Galaxy Territory, Luo Feng stood alone...
He frequently practiced here, his blade glinting as it sliced through the vast blood-red waves.
With his current strength, practicing his techniques would unleash terrifying power, making this Mysterious Land the only place where he could truly let loose.
On an island within the Galaxy Territory, Luo Feng sat cross-legged, draped in a black robe.
This robe was woven from the Realm-Destruction Power and the Power of Galaxy Territory, primarily black with blood-red patterns outlining its design.
The Power of Galaxy Territory comprised thirty percent of the robe's composition, while the Realm-Destruction Power made up seventy percent.
The Power of Galaxy Territory primarily granted the attributes of Immortality and Shadow, enhancing mobility and defense.
The Realm-Destruction Power, on the other hand, specialized in destruction and devastation.
"Attempting to comprehend the Third Hunyuan-level Dao is truly too difficult," Luo Feng thought, his brow furrowed with frustration as he sat cross-legged.
Despite his overwhelming combat prowess, which surpassed all others in the Infinite Hunyuan Space, he had encountered setbacks.
Over two hundred thousand epochs of continuous cultivation had passed, but to Luo Feng, it felt no more taxing than a mortal's brief tea break.
"Beyond Life and Death, I possess a slight talent for the Dao of Matter."
Luo Feng chose to focus his cultivation on the Dao of Matter for the endless epochs to come.
Even with an endless lifespan, one must still have goals to strive for.
"I obtained the sharpest weapon and mastered the Chaos Destruction Realm, barely defeating the fifth Sculpture," Luo Feng thought, "To completely defeat all seven Sculptures, I estimate I'll need to master three Hunyuan-level Daos."
He wasn't entirely sure how difficult it was for Hunyuan Ancestors who followed the Life Core Path to pass the Sevenfold Trial.
But Lords who comprehend Hunyuan-level Daos likely need to master three such paths and receive some external assistance to have any hope of success!
"The Third Path - the Dao of Matter."
"I meticulously studied its branches, even sending down tens of millions of Clones to Origin Worlds imbued with the Dao of Matter, traveling and comprehending," Luo Feng thought, "Over two hundred thousand Epochs, I finally grasped all branches of the Dao of Matter and began attempting to integrate them, thus entering the second stage of the God King realm."
To fully comprehend the Dao of Matter, one must integrate all its branches into a cohesive whole, reaching the Ultimate God King Realm.
This constitutes the first stage, and also the easiest, as it has the Origin World's Dao of Matter as a reference.
The second stage involves groping in the dark until reaching the Semi-Hunyuan Realm.
The third stage then spans from Semi-Hunyuan Realm to the Hunyuan Dao of Matter.
The third stage, in particular, is exponentially more difficult than the first two, its difficulty skyrocketing by billions of times.
Yet after over two hundred thousand epochs, Luo Feng remained trapped in the first stage, only reaching the second stage of the God King realm.
"No wonder Minghuang, Jin, Wu Lan, and the others struggled so much in their attempts to comprehend a second Hunyuan-level Dao," Luo Feng thought with a faint smile, "I understand now."
He wasn't in a hurry. He had long prepared himself for comprehending the Third Dao.
"Take your time."
Luo Feng understood the power of time well.
Over endless epochs, both Hunyuan Ancestors and Lords would make gradual progress.
Though their progress seemed excruciatingly slow, what if you considered two hundred million epochs?
Or two hundred billion epochs?
Or even longer?
******
The Land of Origin, the first Mysterious Land of the Practitioner Faction, and also the one Yuan controlled, was contributed by him to serve as the foundation of the Practitioner Faction.
"After countless years of cultivation, I've finally taken this crucial step."
Yuan opened his eyes, radiating genuine joy.
"The foundational structure of my Hunyuan Rule Circulation Path is now fully established. From now on, I only need to deepen my understanding of the Great Dao."
Yuan felt a profound sense of satisfaction.
The Hunyuan Rule Circulation Path required external rule circulation, but internally, it demanded the construction of an Origin System.
He had long harbored this idea, but progress had been arduous.
Luo Feng's "Origin System of the Hunyuan Life and Death Dao" resolved many of Yuan's difficulties.
Like a sharp blade slicing through bamboo, Yuan devoted over two hundred thousand epochs to finally comprehend his own Origin System.
Only by integrating this Origin System into the Hunyuan Rule Circulation Path could it be considered complete.
From now on, he only needed to refine and enhance it further.
"Sister Shazhou, I fear my strength is now at least equal to yours," Yuan thought.
Compared to Shazhou, he had always been considered weaker in the past.
But now, even though Shazhou excelled in direct combat, and Yuan specialized in formations, he was confident he could match her in a head-on confrontation.
"Everyone, I've broken through," Yuan transmitted telepathically to the other seven Lords.
"Broken through?" Lord Naigu, Lord Wu Lan, Lord Luo Feng, Lord Minghuang, and the other Lords rejoiced.
They had all been eagerly awaiting Yuan's breakthrough!
Once he advanced, the Practitioner Faction's strength would surge to new heights.
Luo Feng's power stemmed from individual prowess.
Yuan's strength, however, came from the power of formations - his expertise could elevate the collective capabilities of all the Lords.
This advantage was particularly pronounced in faction-level battles.
........
The Land of Origin, Council Chamber...
Eight figures descended and took their seats around the circular table crafted from the Dark Realm Crystal.
"Brother Yuan, what realm have you reached with this breakthrough?" Lord Moman asked, his gaze fixed on Yuan.
The other Lords also turned to him expectantly.
"I'm not particularly skilled in direct combat," Yuan replied with a faint smile, "But my strength is probably comparable to Shazhou's and Xingmang's."
Lord Xingmang shot him a sidelong glance.
"Not skilled in combat? And you're only as strong as me?"
"Hahaha..." Lord Wu Lan, Lord Jin, Lord Minghuang, Lord Moman, Lord Naigu, and the others burst into laughter, though envy simmered beneath their amusement.
Despite their long years of cultivation, a qualitative breakthrough remained an elusive goal.
Luo Feng watched the scene with amusement.
Compared to other factions, the Practitioner Faction possessed a distinct advantage: "Unparalleled Unity".
"I've been cultivating the longest," Yuan said, looking at his companions, "When you've trained as long as I have, I believe you'll achieve breakthroughs as well."
"I hope it's as you say, Brother Yuan," Lord Jin sighed, "I'm the second-oldest among the Eight Lords. I hope to break through soon."
Lord Xingmang smiled.
"Let's discuss our next steps. With Brother Yuan's breakthrough, our Practitioner Faction's overall strength has significantly increased. It's time to expand our territory and protect more Origin Worlds!"
"For the past two hundred thousand epochs, Luo Feng has roamed the Infinite Hunyuan Space, slaying Origin World Devourers and intimidating the Hunyuan Lifeforms."
"However, while the Hunyuan Ancestors can endure this for now, they will inevitably rebel given time," Lord Naigu said, "The best solution is to completely secure a vast territory. We must make all the Origin Worlds nominally our domain, forcing the Hunyuan Lifeforms to abandon all hope."
"Which territories do you think we should seize?" Lord Wu Lan asked, "The most desirable territories are primarily occupied by the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction and the Ice Peak Faction. To take them would make us their enemies."
"With Luo Feng leading us and Yuan commanding the formations, would the Ice Peak Faction dare to fight us?" Lord Jin countered, "Our strength completely overwhelms them. We should seize even more territory. I believe our goal should be to expand our territory to at least 8,000 World Clusters!"
"An 8,000 World Cluster is quite troublesome," Lord Moman frowned, "Our 3,600 World Cluster is the densest concentration of worlds we control. The other territories are relatively sparse. I think expanding to 6,000 World Clusters would be a significant achievement."
"The 8000 World Cluster is too much pressure; we'd need to occupy nearly half of its territory," Lord Minghuang said, shaking her head.
The 3600 World Cluster, on the other hand, only required occupying about ten percent of its territory, but this ten percent was where the world clusters were most densely concentrated.
Yet the 8000 World Cluster required occupying nearly half of its territory.
"We don't have enough Lords," Lord Xingmang added, "Even if we forcibly occupy the territory, it would be difficult to defend. Moreover, it would force the Ice Peak Faction and the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction to ally."
"I think occupying the 5000 World Cluster's territory is enough," Luo Feng suddenly spoke up.
The seven Lords turned to look at him.
Given Luo Feng's current strength, his influence within the Practitioner Faction was naturally significant.
"The 5000 World Cluster?" Lord Jin couldn't help but ask, "Isn't that too little?"
Lord Xingmang watched the scene unfold.
"It is a bit little," Luo Feng nodded.
"Therefore, the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction, the Ice Peak Faction, and other factions will need to compensate us by handing over all the Origin Worlds within their territories for us to govern."
"All the Origin Worlds?" Yuan's eyes lit up.
This had been his ultimate goal. The other Lords also held their breath.
