Humanity Grows Stronger

Luo Feng watched the silver light hovering in the distance, observing him with caution.

"These Chaos Layer creatures have very low intelligence. While their techniques are not as profound as Blood Cloud's, their raw power surpasses his." Luo Feng, excited by the hunt, remembered how he had overwhelmed Blood Cloud in the past, and now, with his newfound Chaos-level techniques, his strength had increased even further.

"Whoosh."

The silver light suddenly flashed, drawing a long arc as it extended more than ten times its length, resembling a ghostly silver thread as it darted toward Luo Feng.

"Hm?" Luo Feng saw the thread sweep past him and reached out to grab it once again.

This time, Luo Feng's seemingly ordinary grasp managed to capture the elusive silver thread, but as soon as he caught it, he felt how incredibly smooth the thread was.

It was incredibly sharp and slippery.

In a swift motion, it slipped out of his palm, leaving a deep cut on Luo Feng's hand.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." The silver light flashed around Luo Feng repeatedly, sometimes as a silver thread, sometimes as a silver blade, or even a silver spike, each form moving with incredible speed. Although Luo Feng struggled to catch it, it left several bloody wounds on him.

"Interesting," Luo Feng smiled as he looked at it, "I need to show some real skill to capture it."

Whoosh!

The silver light tried to attack Luo Feng again.

This time, Luo Feng extended his hand, and his five fingers spread out like five towering pillars, enveloping the surrounding space. In an instant, the silver light was trapped as if it had been caught in a cage, with no gaps to escape through.

This was one of Luo Feng's newly comprehended techniques, the scattered move known as 'Five Directions Sealing Heaven.'

After comprehending the Essence of Life, the Essence of Destruction, and gaining insights from the Chaos Layer, Luo Feng had developed not only a Chaos-level move but also several scattered moves. In terms of power, they surpassed even the first six blades of the 'Nine Slashes of the Breaking Realm.'

The move 'Five Directions Sealing Heaven' takes some inspiration from the 'Five Directions Splitting Heaven Blade' but incorporates Luo Feng's understanding of the chaotic laws. While the 'Five Directions Splitting Heaven Blade' aims to split the heavens and tear everything apart, the 'Five Directions Sealing Heaven' is the opposite! It seals the heavens using the concept of the five directions to trap the enemy.

Previously, Luo Feng had struggled to capture the silver blade using regular means.

But now, using 'Five Directions Sealing Heaven,' he completely trapped the silver light. As his five fingers closed around it, the silver light was naturally entwined.

"Buzz~~~" The silver light, long and thin, struggled to escape.

But it was caught between Luo Feng's fingers and couldn't break free.

"I want to see what this little creature is made of. It's so small, yet so powerful." Luo Feng employed the 'Annihilation' technique, instantly burning his divine power to the extreme.

"Crack."

Luo Feng exerted his power, his five fingers suddenly applying force far beyond his previous limit, intending to tear the silver creature apart.

"Hm?" As he exerted force, Luo Feng was astonished to find that the silver creature was incredibly tough and couldn't be torn apart.

"I can't tear its body apart even with my divine power burning to the extreme?" Luo Feng was surprised, "Fortunately, I've comprehended a Chaos-level technique; otherwise, I wouldn't know how to deal with it."

This Chaos Layer creature only had instincts and no consciousness, making Luo Feng's will-based techniques ineffective.

Luo Feng held the silver creature in one hand, while his index finger on the other hand burned with divine power. He used the only Chaos-level technique he had mastered, 'Refine the Heart,' and with a gentle swipe of his finger, as if dissecting the void, he sliced through the silver creature's body.

Snap!

The silver creature's body was instantly cut in half.

As Luo Feng's finger passed through, he could feel the toughness of the silver creature's body. After being split, the toughness of the silver body significantly decreased, and its luster dimmed considerably. Luo Feng grabbed the two halves of the silver creature with both hands and suddenly exerted force.

Boom! Boom!

The two halves of the silver body were completely shattered into countless silver droplets.

"One hundred and nine silver droplets?" Luo Feng observed the silver droplets in front of him. Each droplet still tried to merge back together, but once they were split into their most basic form as silver droplets, their power significantly weakened.

With a wave of his divine power, Luo Feng prevented them from merging.

"These silver droplets..." Luo Feng carefully examined them, magnifying the silver droplets billions of times in his vision until they appeared like massive stars.

The silver droplets, even when magnified billions of times, remained perfect spheres, incredibly smooth on the surface. Luo Feng could vaguely see traces of chaotic laws on their surface, with some traces permeating the interior of the silver droplets.

Luo Feng gently swiped his finger across a silver droplet, and it immediately disintegrated into silver mist and a manifestation of chaotic laws.

Luo Feng watched carefully.

As the silver mist dissipated, the solidified chaotic laws also faded away, and the silver droplet was completely annihilated.

"No wonder it was so slippery," Luo Feng observed, "Each silver droplet actually contains a complete 'chaotic law' and embodies the characteristics of both Chaos Gold and Chaos Water."

"The Chaos Layer creatures I've encountered before had bodies that only contained partial chaotic laws. But this silver creature possesses complete chaotic laws," Luo Feng realized.

The difference in power between containing partial chaotic laws and complete chaotic laws was evident.

"Collect." With a thought, Luo Feng collected the remaining 108 silver droplets into the Star Tower.

In one of the spaces within the Star Tower, the 108 silver droplets appeared out of thin air, naturally separated by the space.

Luo Feng then brought two of the silver droplets together, and they naturally fused.

As each droplet fused, once ten droplets were fused together, they formed a silver thread, already quite powerful.

When 100 droplets were fused together, they formed the original silver light.

Even when fully combined, the power of the silver creature did not significantly increase.

"The more silver droplets there are, the stronger its power, but it seems a certain threshold must be reached before a qualitative change occurs," Luo Feng thought, "This is just over a hundred droplets; if there were ten thousand, a million droplets? It might reach the strength of a Chaos-level being."

Luo Feng carefully observed the silver light kept in the Star Tower.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." The silver light anxiously darted around within that space in the Star Tower but could not escape.

"I've heard that Chaos Layer creatures feed on chaotic energy." With a thought, Luo Feng threw a few pieces of chaotic crystals to the silver creature.

The silver light swiftly flew over to the chaotic crystals, wrapped around them, and began to slowly gnaw on them.

"The strength of Chaos Layer creatures is related to the chaotic laws within their bodies," Luo Feng thought, "Unfortunately, I can't see those creatures with Chaos-level strength."

According to the information:

All the 'Chaos Layer creatures' with Chaos Master-level strength have been captured alive and taken away since they are highly coveted, even by God Kings.

"These rare and powerful Chaos Layer creatures can be captured and kept for long-term study," Luo Feng thought, as he glimpsed some special applications of chaotic laws from them.

Back at Luo Feng's home, in his miniature universe.

Under a large tree, the canopy covered a vast area.

"Yuan Zu1, it's rare for you to visit me." Luo Feng personally poured fruit wine for Yuan Zu, "Try it. This is fruit wine I made by collecting various fruits from my miniature universe and experimenting multiple times. It tastes quite good."

"Hmm." Yuan Zu took a sip and praised, "The flavor is excellent. I didn't expect you, Luo Feng, to be such a skilled winemaker."

"Just a small hobby," Luo Feng said, taking a sip himself.

"I'm here this time to thank you, Luo Feng." Yuan Zu said with emotion, "Thankfully, you gave me the 'Nine Abyss Realm' inheritance back then. After cultivating on the Origin Continent, I've finally broken through to the Eternal True God level."

"You broke through?" Luo Feng was overjoyed. The stronger the human race, the happier he was.

After all, the Origin Continent was full of dangers, and if he were to fall one day, Yuan Zu would still be there to protect the human race.

"On the Origin Continent, comprehending the laws is much clearer, and with the inheritance, I've finally broken through." Yuan Zu said with a smile, "The path of the laws is indeed difficult. But after this breakthrough, my days on the Origin Continent will be much easier."

Luo Feng nodded, "Finally, your hardships have paid off."

On the Origin Continent, the living conditions of a Void True God and an Eternal True God are vastly different.

"Yuan Zu, hasn't your miniature universe expanded yet?" Luo Feng asked.

"No rush. Only you know that I've comprehended the origin of the laws, and I haven't been in a hurry to expand my miniature universe or break through with my divine body," Yuan Zu looked at Luo Feng, "Once my divine body breaks through, my strength will be fully revealed, and I'll need to make some choices. I'm still hesitating whether to join the official ranks of the Yan Feng Ancient Country or become a free cultivator."

"Join the official ranks," Luo Feng advised, "The Yan Feng Ancient Country has unfathomable depths. Joining the official ranks would suit you better. While being a free cultivator offers more freedom, it's also more dangerous. Besides... in the future, I should be heading to the Yan Feng Ancient Country as well."

"You're going to the Yan Feng Ancient Country too?" Yuan Zu's face lit up with joy.

"It will take quite some time." Luo Feng said, knowing that both he and the Palace Master, Di Chu Yu, would need to become Chaos-level beings before Di Chu Yu could recruit him. Currently, both he and Di Chu Yu were still at the Eternal True God level.

It would be a long time before Luo Feng could reach the Chaos-level, and who knows how long it would take for Di Chu Yu.

"I'll take your advice and join the official ranks," Yuan Zu decided without hesitation.

He understood that Luo Feng had received the inheritance of the Duandong River lineage and had a deeper understanding of the top forces on the Origin Continent than he did.

Moreover, during his time on the Origin Continent, Yuan Zu realized that even newly promoted Eternal True Gods had to live cautiously. Joining the official ranks provided an extra layer of protection, greatly increasing his safety.

"This is the second half of the 'Nine Demons Realm,' containing many secret techniques at the Eternal True God level." Luo Feng handed a memory stone to Yuan Zu.

"You don't need to train in illusions just for me," Yuan Zu immediately declined, worried that it would affect Luo Feng's cultivation path.

"I'm cultivating multiple paths to accumulate experience for reaching the Chaos level." Luo Feng smiled.

"Thank you." Yuan Zu accepted the memory stone and received the information contained within the second half of the 'Nine Demons Realm.'

Receiving this inheritance, Yuan Zu realized even more the gap between himself and Luo Feng.

He had just reached the Eternal True God level.

But one of Luo Feng's illusions was already at the peak of the Eternal True God level. His true strength was likely even more terrifying.

"Now, I'll go and break through completely," Yuan Zu said, standing up.

Luo Feng also stood up to see him off.

In the days that followed, Hu Yang City enjoyed a rare period of peace.

The Heart Shadow Sect2 was also gathering some elite members who had been dispersed across the Origin Continent for a long time. After all, to attack a Chaos State, the more power, the better. It would be ideal to create an overwhelming force.

However, gathering these elite members, some of whom were far from the Kingdom of Shi, and convincing them to join the battle was no easy task.

Luo Feng, meanwhile, focused on his cultivation.

The Essence of Life, the Essence of Destruction, cultivation in the Chaos Layer, the three thousand Void Calamity Beast Diagrams... Luo Feng felt that he was making slow but steady progress every day.

Time passed, and before he knew it, five eras had gone by!
