Chapter (393): [Where Is He Flying To?]
(8th of Volume 11)

***********************************
Luo Feng stood in place, the Void-Severing Blade in his hand transforming into dazzling, brilliant slashes of blade light!
Each slash contained one ten-thousandth of his total energy reserves.
In the blink of an eye, he unleashed over a hundred strikes, and without pause, he continued to send out wave after wave of blade light.
His energy recovery speed completely kept up with the consumption.
"This is--" The Shadow Lord shuddered.
Though he exists everywhere, every inch of space around Luo Feng was now filled with terrifying blade light, infused with the power of life and death. Its power was enough to make one tremble!
Hundreds of crisscrossing slashes filled the heavens and earth, instantly annihilating the surrounding blood sea in its entirety.
With Luo Feng at the center, all space-time and everything within it was indiscriminately destroyed!
At this moment, Luo Feng stood alone in a region where only boiling streams of chaotic energy remained, with even space-time in the process of repairing itself.
"Hmm? This Shadow Lord is quite slippery."
Luo Feng swept his gaze into the distance, locking onto a faraway location.
The Shadow Lord's domain is wherever a shadow exists.
Wherever matter is present, there would be a corresponding shadow! Thus, the Shadow Lord could instantly appear in extremely distant locations.
Even though Luo Feng had just obliterated a vast area around him, it had only lightly wounded the Shadow Lord.
"I can't take him head-on. Just testing him earlier injured me." The Shadow Lord came to a realization- against such an overwhelmingly powerful opponent like Luo Feng, his only option was to evade!
"Target, lock!"
Luo Feng swung his blade again, but this time, the blade light was dark and extremely subtle.
The blade light was restrained, following the fluctuations of life force. It pierced through the obstacles of space-time and the blood sea, relentlessly pursuing every trace of the Shadow Lord's life energy. Every slash was guaranteed to strike its target.
Under the condition of "Certain Hit", the power of each slash was greatly reduced- at most, only one hundred-thousandth of Luo Feng's energy reserves.
"While an all-out attack is devastating, against evasive opponents like the Shadow Lord, it's useless if it doesn't touch him." Luo Feng understood this clearly.
"But ensuring a certain hit by locking onto life force means each slash's power is greatly diminished."
Take Lord Minghuang, for example- even when burning his main combat clone in an all-out attack, achieving both "a certain hit" and "extreme speed" is already remarkable.
"The 'Hunyuan Blade Dao' I'm currently comprehending still is still the fusion of life and death, with destruction as the dominant aspect." Luo Feng pondered, "The direction I pursue must first ensure a 'certain hit' and only then focus on power."
"Certain hit and power- these should be the core pursuits of my Hunyuan Blade Dao."
Whether facing the Innate Hunyuan Lifeform faction or the Shadow Lord, Luo Feng had recognized the importance of a "certain hit".
No matter how overwhelming the attack's power, if it couldn't land on the enemy, its effectiveness is greatly diminished.
Take his Origin Destruction, for instance- it is an indiscriminate attack in all directions. But after using it once, any opponent who fought Luo Feng would be wary of it.
Possessing an incredibly strong body, boundless energy, the ability to rapidly restore companions to peak condition, and techniques with considerable power- these abilities already placed him at the standard level of a Lord.
But Luo Feng isn't satisfied.
He wants to compensate for his weaknesses and create a second Hunyuan-level Dao.
"Whoosh- whoosh- whoosh- "
Luo Feng now unleashed over a thousand dark blade lights. Each one traced the life force of the Shadow Lord, piercing through space-time to strike him.
"Hmm?" The Shadow Lord panicked and swiftly retreated.
These endless blade lights continuously destroyed his bodily energy, and even the blood sea couldn't keep up with the recovery.
"Swish- swish- swish- "
In an instant, he crossed most of the Blood Crane Territory, arriving beside the Blood Lord and the Crane Lord.
"He surely runs fast." Luo Feng ceased his attacks.
Even with life-force locking, his current techniques had a limited range.
"There is no way to fight him."
The Shadow Lord felt stifled as he glanced at the Blood Lord and Crane Lord beside him.
"Luo Feng's body is too powerful. Before this, when he teamed up with Wu Lan and had the support of the practitioners' formation, they withstood the siege of a hundred Hunyuan Ancestors. Now, even acting alone, I can't harm him in the slightest. Fighting him is just me taking a beating!"
"With your abilities, he can still hit you?" The Crane Lord was puzzled.
"Within a certain range, no matter how I shift or change positions, I can't escape his dark blade light." The Shadow Lord shook his head.
"It's life-force locking." The Blood Lord said.
He had also mastered the highest level of life-type power and could perform life-force locking, silently infiltrating his enemies.
"Luo Feng must specialize in life-type power, but he has grasped the 'Dao' of this power, so he's stronger than me."
A Lord comprehends the essence of a Dao, allowing them to wield the same power with far greater power.
Moreover, Lords could even create bodies perfectly suited to themselves.
"This Luo Feng has an indestructible body and devastating techniques." The Blood Lord said calmly, "But his weakness is obvious- his movement techniques are clearly lacking. As long as we avoid him, he can't touch us."
The Blood Lord, as an expert in life-type power, also had poor movement techniques.
He understood Luo Feng's predicament well.
However, the Blood Crane Territory is his homeland! Within his home territory, the Blood Lord is far more agile than Luo Feng.
"Just keep avoiding him all the time?" The Shadow Lord asked.
"That's... frustrating." The Crane Lord felt unwilling.
As a master of indestructible power, he feared no battle.
"Can the two of you do better than dozens of Hunyuan Ancestors working together?" The Blood Lord glanced at his companions.
"Neither of you can harm him in the slightest. Crane! Don't think your body is tough enough... When Luo Feng unleashed his Origin Destruction, even the Giant God Emperor, the Hunyuan Beast Ancestor, and the Black Tide Hunyuan Ancestor didn't dare to take it head-on, and it even severely injured twenty-six surrounding Hunyuan Ancestors! "Are you sure you can withstand that?"
The Crane Lord's heart trembled.
In terms of defensive abilities, compared to Lord Wu Lan- who had mastered the Hunyuan Material Dao- the Crane Lord is undoubtedly far inferior.
"With the three of us joining forces, backed by the advantage of our territory and the vast power of the Blood Sea... I dare to engage him in close combat." The Crane Lord said.
Although after having witnessed Luo Feng's Origin Destruction , he still felt uneasy about facing him alone.
"But can we kill him? Can we even trouble him in the slightest?" The Blood Lord shook his head, "Since we pose no threat, there's no need to fight. If we avoid him, he won't even be able to touch us within the Blood Crane Territory. Sooner or later, he'll give up and leave."
"He's already come to our territory, and we're just going to endure this?" The Shadow Lord was unwilling.
"Fine, we'll follow your lead, brother." The Crane Lord could only nod.
Only with the Blood Lord's assistance- his endless vitality bolstering the Crane Lord's own indestructible nature- would he dare to face Luo Feng in close combat.
But since the Blood Lord refused to engage in a meaningless battle, the Crane Lord had no choice but to endure.
..........
Luo Feng could sense that the Shadow Lord's true body had fled across most of the Blood Crane Territory in an instant, and the three of them showed no intention of approaching him.
"They're keeping their distance, unwilling to fight me now?"
He had to admit that if these three chose to avoid him, there is little he could do- unless he called for reinforcements!
For example, summoning Lord Xingmang, the undisputed master of space-time in the Infinite Hunyuan Space. With him present, no enemy could escape!
Every Dao had its strengths and weaknesses.
Although the practitioner Lords are powerful- each capable of matching two or three Hunyuan Ancestors in battle- purely in terms of survival, a single Lord could withstand the siege of eight or even ten Hunyuan Ancestors.
But in a one-on-one fight, no practitioner Lord had ever managed to completely kill a Hunyuan Ancestor.
Historically, it had only been through the combined efforts of multiple Lords that they could completely extinguish a Hunyuan Ancestor's vitality.
"Since they're avoiding me..." Luo Feng gazed into the distance, sensing the core origin of the endless Blood Sea's power. He felt an inexplicable familiarity with this vast sea of blood, and curiosity burned within him.
After all, the power of the Blood Sea is formed from three supreme-tier forces, one of which is life-type energy.
In fact, after just a short time within the Blood Crane Territory, Luo Feng had already comprehended 70-80% of this life-type power.
However, he didn't hold it in high regard- it felt narrow and limited to him.
"Let's take a look at the core origin of this mysterious land."
With a whoosh, Luo Feng accelerated to extreme speeds, piercing through the endless Blood Sea as he shot toward the location he sensed.
As he flew, he drew closer and closer to the heart of the Blood Crane Territory.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
A faint pulsation began to resonate in Luo Feng's perception- like the heartbeat of the entire Blood Sea, with the core origin acting as its heart.
Just sensing this rhythm filled him with an oppressive pressure.
Compared to the boundless Blood Sea in the entire Blood Crane Territory, he himself is still far weaker.
"Interesting." Luo Feng's excitement only grew.
He had long heard that within the Infinite Hunyuan Space, there existed dangers capable of annihilating even a Lord's main combat clone.
But as a Lord, his Dao is part of his very being- indestructible and eternal. He had no fear of exploring the unknown.
"Let's see what secrets lie at the core of this mysterious land."
Luo Feng had never witnessed the core of a mysterious land before. The practitioner faction's "Land of Origin" had been refined and controlled by Yuan, and subsequent Lords had only reinforced its formations.
Luo Feng continued his high-speed flight, cutting through towering waves of blood!
"Where is he flying to?"
The three Blood Crane Lords, who had been avoiding battle, suddenly sensed something amiss.
"He's rapidly approaching the origin of the Blood Crane Territory!"
The expressions of the Blood Lord, Crane Lord, and Shadow Lord all changed.
For Hunyuan Ancestors to achieve true immortality, the two most common methods were:
Core Evolution - Reaching a certain level of refinement in their life core, granting them immortality. Such as the Chu Shi Hunyuan Ancestor, Hunyuan Ancestor of Space-Time, and Yanhuo Hunyuan Ancestor.
This is also the most common method.
Dominating a Mysterious Land - Merging their life core with the origin of a mysterious land, ensuring that as long as the land exists, they would never perish. Such as the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor.
By dominating a mysterious land, one could also harness part of its power to augment themselves.
For instance, the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor could expand his body to the size of a world cluster!
Given that the Infinite World could reflect the entire Infinite Hunyuan Space, even partial control granted immense power- enough to face any enemy head-on without fear.
"Could he be trying to refine the origin of the Blood Crane Territory?!"
The three Blood Crane Lords had long yearned to refine and control the origin of their territory, achieving true immortality.
However, the difficulty was far too high- none of them had succeeded so far.
Just as the Infinite Serpent race had over ten Hunyuan Ancestor-level experts, only the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor had managed to refine the origin of the Infinite World.
Similarly, among the Giant God race, including the Giant God Emperor, not a single one had succeeded in refining the origin of the Giant God Realm.
This demonstrates just how difficult it is to dominate a mysterious land.
"We can't let Luo Feng get any closer- stop him!"
For the first time, the three Blood Crane Lords were in absolute agreement.
