***********************************
Within the majestic hall of the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction, the clones of the Nine Sovereigns descended one by one.
"You all witnessed the battle between Luo Feng and Shazhou, right?" the Infinite Serpent Ancestor asked.
"That blade... it was truly terrifying!" the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor remarked.
After comprehending the Hunyuan Blade Dao, Luo Feng combined the two Hunyuan-level Daos to unleash a devastating strike.
That single blow pierced through three layers of the Abyss of Destruction, stunning countless Ancient Ones.
"Throughout history, no one has ever managed to killed a Hunyuan Ancestor in a one-on-one battle," the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor said, "But Luo Feng's killing prowess now surpasses even Xingmang and Shazhou! He stands at the pinnacle of the entire Infinite Hunyuan Space! I have a premonition that he might be capable of killing a Hunyuan Ancestor in a direct confrontation!"
"The Hunyuan Ancestors who have survived until now are not so easy to kill," the Hunyuan Ancestor of Time and Space countered.
At least, in the futures she had glimpsed, she never witnessed a Hunyuan Ancestor fall in a one-on-one battle.
To become a Hunyuan Ancestor, one's Life Core must evolve to a level akin to the Origin Core of the Origin World, granting them extraordinary means of self-preservation.
Take the three Lords of the Blood Crane Territory as an example:
The Blood Lord has comprehended the highest level of Blood Power, capable of transforming into a Blood Sea. In terms of energy reserves and life recovery, he is only slightly inferior to Luo Feng.
The Crane Lord wields the Immortal Power, a weakened version of Lord Wu Lan's power.
The Shadow Lord commands the Shadow Force, equally formidable.
These three are considered quite ordinary among the Hunyuan Ancestors, lacking the qualification to claim any levels of the Abyss of Destruction or a seat in the Eternal Land.
Even more formidable figures, like the Lotus Prison Mountain Lord, could force a hasty retreat even when faced with the combined power of the Practitioner Faction's Eight Lords.
Still more powerful beings are truly Immortal.
As for those with significant flaws in their life preservation abilities? Such cases are exceedingly rare.
In the prolonged conflicts between factions, these Hunyuan Ancestors are the first to be eliminated.
The Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction, the Ice Peak Faction, and other once-powerful forces had all lost numerous Hunyuan Ancestors.
"Hunyuan Ancestor of Time and Space, have you seen it?" the Giant God Emperor asked.
"I have glimpsed visions of the future, but none depict a one-on-one killing of a Hunyuan Ancestor," she replied, "However, if he were to cooperate with Xingmang, or if he were to align with Yuan, they could slay a Hunyuan Ancestor! I have seen this possible future!"
The other eight felt their hearts tighten.
Previously, the fall of a Hunyuan Ancestor had always resulted from large-scale wars!
"Can two Lords, working together, actually assassinate a Hunyuan Ancestor?" Yanhuo Hunyuan Ancestor asked with concern, "Luo Feng can suppress all life fluctuations, and Xingmang and Yuan can do the same."
Suppressing all fluctuations to evade the Hunyuan Ancestors' perception secret techniques was extremely difficult.
Methods like Cause and effect Perception and Vitality Detection were notoriously hard to evade.
However, Practitioner Lords, who mastered Hunyuan-level Dao, could completely conceal themselves!
Luo Feng, Lord Xingmang, Yuan, and Mo Man were all capable of this, making them undetectable to peers of their caliber.
In contrast, Lord Wu Lan, Lord Jin, Lord Minghuang, and Lord Naigu could not conceal themselves.
"Previously, they couldn't launch a successful ambush. Even if Xingmang, Yuan, and Mo Man combined their power, the resulting might would struggle to annihilate a Hunyuan Ancestor quickly. I could immediately descend through the Infinite World to provide support," the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor explained.
The unique ability of the Infinite Serpent Clan was their capacity to descend through the Infinite World.
"That's true," the Hunyuan Ancestor of Time and Space confirmed, "But Luo Feng's explosive attack power is terrifying. He alone can dismantle the vast majority of a Hunyuan Ancestor's strength. Xingmang and Lord Yuan would only need to pursue the remnants. Therefore, any alliance between Luo Feng and either Xingmang or Yuan could potentially kill a Hunyuan Ancestor in a short time."
Lord Xingmang and Yuan were both exceptionally skilled at tracking down residual power.
"The times have changed," the Hunyuan Ancestor of Time and Space said, "Luo Feng's rise marks the beginning of a new era for the entire Infinite Hunyuan Space. In this new era, the fall of Hunyuan Ancestors will become far easier."
The Nine Sovereigns all understood that in the past, the fall of a Hunyuan Ancestor had only occurred occasionally, during large-scale wars.
But from now on, Luo Feng, Yuan, or Lord Xingmang, working alone or in pairs, could suppress all fluctuations and appear beside a Hunyuan Ancestor without warning, swiftly carrying out the assassination.
"It's time to change our strategies against the Practitioner Faction," Wu Jin Hunyuan Ancestor said solemnly.
Although he is Immortal, he still didn't want to see the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction weaken.
If the faction weakened, their share of resources would decrease. As one of the Nine Sovereigns, his own share of resources would diminish accordingly.
"Giant God Emperor, if your clan still refuses to act, and the faction weakens, your clan's resource supply will be threatened," the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor said, looking at the Giant God Emperor, "We can't be the ones risking everything while you enjoy the resources without restraint."
The Giant God Emperor nodded slightly.
"I understand. The Giant God Clan will not shirk its responsibilities."
The Giant God Clan comprised over ten Hunyuan Ancestors and numerous World-Level and High-level Hunyuan Lifeform descendants. As the second-largest clan within the entire faction, their resource consumption was immense.
"We should adjust our strategies for future wars," Chu Shi Hunyuan Ancestor suddenly said, "I propose prioritizing self-preservation over enemy elimination."
"I agree," the Hunyuan Ancestor of Time and Space concurred, "In previous conflicts, we focused solely on killing enemies! We even used the Practitioner Faction as a testing ground, treating the occasional death of a Hunyuan Ancestor as 'eliminating the weak.'"
"In future formations, we must prioritize Hunyuan Ancestors with strong self-preservation abilities and build around them."
"Only by doing this can we ensure absolute superiority," the Hunyuan Ancestor of Time and Space stated.
Strategies that prioritize enemy elimination, such as coordinating multiple Hunyuan Ancestors capable of simultaneous soul attacks, enhance offensive power but weaken self-preservation capabilities.
"For example, we should build our formation's core with Hunyuan Ancestors who master the highest levels of Life Power, Defense Power, Water Power, Earth Power, World Power, Material Power, and Domain Power. This will ensure an unshakable foundation," the Hunyuan Ancestor of Time and Space said, gazing into possible futures.
Though her vision paled in comparison to Lord Xingmang's, it at least offered glimpses of successful paths, allowing them to avoid countless pitfalls.
A single ordinary Practitioner Lord was typically equivalent in power to two or three combined Hunyuan Ancestors.
Previously, when seven Lords of the Practitioner Faction fought together, their combat power amplified by Yuan's formations, they still found themselves at a hopeless disadvantage.
They relied on Lord Xingmang's observation of countless future possibilities, Yuan's formations to sustain them, and the intricate coordination of the Lords' Hunyuan Daos, primarily focusing on defense with occasional counterattacks.
Even with these measures, they suffered repeated defeats and territorial losses.
After Luo Feng became a Lord, the Giant God Emperor and two others joined the battle! The Giant God Emperor and his allies immediately captured Luo Feng, while the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor and others trapped Lord Wu Lan.
Only the catastrophic destruction wrought by Luo Feng's Great Origin Destruction, which instilled fear in some Hunyuan Ancestors, led them to conclude that risking their lives to fight against a group of Immortal Lords for merely the 3600 World Cluster wasn't worth it.
This ultimately led to the ceasefire.
"If we don't ensure the safety of the Hunyuan Ancestors soon, many of the weaker ones will refuse to participate in the war," the Nirvana Hunyuan Ancestor said.
"I never thought we'd be forced to prioritize survival when deploying battle formations," Yanhuo Hunyuan Ancestor sighed.
After all, Who are they?
They are the first major faction, occupying half of the entire Infinite Hunyuan Space!
The Practitioner Faction, Ice Peak Faction, and numerous scattered forces together occupy the other half.
"The Practitioner Faction's foundation is now established," the Infinite Serpent Ancestor declared, "From this point forward, they will surpass the Ice Peak Faction to become our greatest opponent!"
Even though the Ice Peak Faction possesses twelve Immortal beings and twenty-six Hunyuan Ancestors, in the eyes of the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction, with its over 120 Hunyuan Ancestors, the Practitioner Faction now poses a greater threat.
"Countless Hunyuan Lifeforms will continuously give birth to World-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms, and even Hunyuan Ancestors," the Hunyuan Ancestor of Time and Space said, "As long as we prioritize self-preservation and value every Hunyuan Ancestor's life, it will become exceedingly difficult for the Practitioner Faction to kill even a single one! For the foreseeable endless ages, we will remain the most powerful faction!"
.........
"We can't suppress this any longer."
The Immortal beings of the Ice Peak Faction realized this the moment they witnessed Luo Feng's strike.
At this instant, the Practitioner Faction officially surpassed the Ice Peak Faction in power!
...........
"What a terrifying blade!"
The Blood Lord, Crane Lord, and Shadow Lord of the Blood Crane Clan observed the battle from afar.
They harbored deep resentment toward Luo Feng.
First, the Shadow Lord led raids into Practitioner Territory.
Then, Luo Feng forcibly refined the Blood Crane Territory and seized control of it.
Their enmity was irreconcilable.
"Though our life-preserving abilities are formidable," the Blood Lord remarked, "Luo Feng has become too formidable. If five or six Practitioner Lords joined forces to hunt us down, they could likely kill us. We must align ourselves with a powerful faction."
Previously, relying on their exceptional life-preserving abilities, they resisted joining any faction.
"We do need to align ourselves," the Crane Lord and Shadow Lord also agreed.
Luo Feng had become far too terrifying - much more so than when he refined the Blood Crane Territory!
If they had anticipated this level of power, the Shadow Lord would never have dared to raid Practitioner Territory.
"The Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction is the strongest and has been courting us for some time," the Blood Lord said, "Let's join them."
"They are mortal enemies of the Practitioner Faction and will undoubtedly protect us," the Shadow Lord concurred.
After having made their decision, they swiftly led the entire Blood Crane Clan to pledge allegiance to the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction.
The Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction, which prioritized life preservation and maintained formidable battle formations, was naturally delighted to welcome the Hunyuan Ancestors with exceptional life-preserving abilities.
*******
Luo Feng, however, was unaware that with this single strike, he had ushered in a new era.
His unparalleled strength, towering above even the Shazhou, gradually eroded the sense of security among ordinary Hunyuan Ancestors.
As individual power reaches upper limit and continues to rise, the position of ordinary Hunyuan Ancestors indeed becomes increasingly precarious.
In the years to come, these Ancestors would act with greater caution, abandoning their current carefree ways.
Even the most powerful Innate Hunyuan Lifeform Faction immediately prioritized self-preservation, constructing battle formations for their Hunyuan Ancestors.
This demonstrated their keen sensitivity to the shifting tides.
"Thank you, Shazhou," Luo Feng said, departing the 27th layer. His figure, swift as a blade, sliced through the space-time barrier, landing effortlessly on the 28th layer of the Abyss of Destruction.
Shazhou observed the 28th layer, where thirty Realm Envoys combined their terrifying power.
Both Shazhou and Lord Xingmang had previously attempted to breach this layer but failed. Yet Luo Feng, wielding a blade radiance capable of destroying all, brutally slashed through the Realm Envoys' defenses and effortlessly imprinted his Life Mark upon the Phantom Origin of the 28th level.
After having secured the 28th level, Luo Feng didn't rush to advance further. Instead, he settled there temporarily, developing a complete combat strategy based on his Hunyuan Blade Dao.
Meanwhile, the seven Lord clones in the Land of Origin wore radiant smiles.
"The times have changed," Lord Xingmang remarked with a smile.
From this point forward, the balance of power had shifted dramatically!
