The Lord of Yuanzhong who Devours the Starry Sky

“If you encounter any trouble that you cannot resolve, I will help you three times,” Li Qi said calmly. “This… is your way of thanking me for not exterminating the Yuan Chongzong.”

"Thank you very much, Lord Yuanqi." The Flame Wind God Emperor and the Thunder God Emperor quickly expressed their gratitude.

They really didn't want to discuss this issue too much, because letting go of the remnants of the Yuan Chongzong regime was to make the younger generations of the two ancient kingdoms feel the potential threat, thereby stimulating them to strive for excellence.

"Alright, go ahead." Li Qi said calmly, not caring about what the two of them should do.

"Yes." The Flame Wind God Emperor and the Thunder God Emperor bowed respectfully, nodded to Luo Feng and the others, and then transformed into streaks of light and departed.

Luo Feng was somewhat surprised, so he asked telepathically, "Teacher, are you really just going to let them go like this?"

“With the protection of the Origin World, unless you and I become the masters of the Origin World, there’s no chance of completely killing them,” Li Qi replied calmly. “Besides, don’t you have some connection with Di Qing?”

Luo Feng explained, "I only have a casual acquaintance with Di Qing."

“After all, we have some degree of friendship,” Li Qi said calmly. “And as I said before, the sect needs the two ancient kingdoms as enemies.”

Luo Feng remained silent upon hearing this. Now he understood perfectly well that the reason the sect did not kill the founders of the two ancient kingdoms was because they needed enemies.

Because Li Qi and the other person were communicating telepathically, Daoist Jifeng was unaware of what they were talking about.

However, when he saw that the two seemed not to be communicating, he said, "Yuan Qi, the merits for your commissioned acquisition are complete."

"That's pretty fast," Li Qi praised upon hearing this.

"Haha, it's mainly because your reputation as an invincible being is too great, which makes many cultivators take the initiative to sell their battle merits to me after they learn that I am buying battle merits."

Daoist Jifeng smiled and said, "Many of these cultivators were willing to sell themselves for 100,000 Chaos Origin Crystals per battle merit, but I did not agree. Instead, I purchased them for 110,000 Chaos Origin Crystals."

"Thank you." Li Qi nodded.

"Thank you, Daoist Jifeng." Luo Feng thanked him and handed over his share of the Hunyuan Crystal to Daoist Jifeng.

After handing over the battle merits, Li Qi chatted for a few more words with Daoist Jifeng, Palace Master Zhenyan, and Daoist Fuguang before returning to his cave in the large Hunyuan Palace to cultivate in seclusion.

His mental and spiritual system has been initially constructed, but it is still far from being fully integrated into the Great Dao of Infinity. Therefore, he needs to cultivate and comprehend the advanced Hunyuan bloodline for a long time in order to perfect the Great Dao of Infinity.

……

Time flies, and three thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Qi is still in seclusion. After a long period of studying the advanced Hunyuan bloodline through his Origin Continent clone, his mental and will system has become increasingly perfect.

Even if the infinite life form is perfected and its clones become increasingly larger after absorbing energy, he can still control clones with energy reserves hundreds of millions of times greater than the perfect divine body.

However, due to the abundant energy in the cave within the large Hunyuan Palace, his main battle clone absorbed a great deal of energy, with energy reserves already exceeding one billion times, making it impossible for him to perfectly control his divine body.

"I exchanged most of my Hunyuan Crystals and battle merits for a high-grade Hunyuan bloodline. After three thousand years of secluded cultivation, I have thoroughly comprehended seventy percent of the mysteries of a high-grade Hunyuan bloodline."

Li Qi pondered silently, "Even so, I still can't open up a semi-primordial infinite Great Dao. Where exactly is the problem?"

In his view, the current mental and will system is perfect and has basically been integrated with the infinite Dao, but it just can't break through to the semi-primordial level.

"Could it be that my mental and will system is not yet perfect, and I need to comprehend a more profound world-class primordial bloodline?"

Li Qi thought this, but quickly dismissed it, "It's probably impossible. World-class Chaos Origin Bloodlines are far more profound than high-level Chaos Origin Bloodlines. With my current secret treasures, I simply cannot comprehend them!"

"Hmm... I remember Senior Yuan once said that the Wandering Dragon is more suitable for me now. Could it be that the opportunity for me to open up the Half-Primordial Infinite Great Dao lies in the Wandering Dragon?"

With that thought in mind, Li Qi took out the Youlong sword to study it.

After becoming invincible, he had already sent the Dragon back to the Origin Continent, because he was already invincible in the Dark Holy Realm without needing to use the Dragon.

"The dragon is composed of tens of thousands of scales, among which five scales possess extremely profound Dao mysteries, seemingly formed from the remains of a world-class primordial life form..."

Li Qi focused his energy on comprehending the five scales. "Since the Great Dao is so profound, I will concentrate on comprehending it and hope it will be of some help to me."

……

On the other side, in the Dark Holy Realm.

While Li Qi was still in seclusion, Luo Feng discovered the existence of a mental will system by comprehending the advanced Hunyuan bloodline.

This discovery filled Luo Feng with joy. After initially establishing his mental and will system, he gained more and more control over his enormous physical body and understood why his teacher was able to control such a massive body.

Having completed the initial construction of his mental will system and replenished the energy of his massive clone, Luo Feng's strength reached an invincible level.

Moreover, the Dao of Life and Death that he pioneered is getting closer and closer to reaching the semi-primordial level of perfection.

As Luo Feng's mental will system was established, his demand for cultivation resources became increasingly exaggerated, because to perfect his mental will system, he needed to exchange for the corpses and bloodlines of high-level Hunyuan life forms with enormous physical bodies.

In order to collect Hunyuan Crystals and battle merits, Luo Feng went out to hunt low-level Hunyuan life forms many times, and each time he could obtain tens of trillions of Hunyuan Crystals.

Through repeated accumulation of battle merits from hunting, he eventually exchanged them for a precious Primordial Treasure called the 'Sky-Piercing Blade,' which contained the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of Destruction that he needed.

……

Inside the large Hunyuan Hall.

The two advanced Hunyuan beings had been observing Li Qi and Luo Feng.

After they discovered that Luo Feng possessed invincible combat power, they asked the lord to guide Luo Feng away.

However, after the lord arrived, he informed them that Luo Feng was also a pioneer of the extreme fusion path and was on the right path to perfect the semi-chaotic origin birth and death path, and asked them to continue to pay attention.

"He used the limited-time offer of purchasing one secret treasure to exchange for the Sky-Splitting Blade, while his teacher, Yuan Qi, is still in seclusion," said Yi Feiya, the woman in red.

“We advanced Chaos Origin beings receive great cultivation during our cultivation stage, but once we break free from the shackles and become advanced Chaos Origin beings, the resources given to us actually decrease significantly.”

The silver-haired, silver-browed man, Qiu Ge, sighed, "We are not qualified to exchange for something like this Sky-Splitting Blade."

“We’ve given you all the opportunities you were supposed to have.” Yifeiya sighed and shook her head. “We all awakened with the ultimate power of high-level Chaos Origin bloodlines, and our potential is basically exhausted. Naturally, the lord won’t invest more resources in us.”

After he finished speaking, both of them fell silent.

In the current faction war, advanced Chaos Origin Lifeforms are just insignificant soldiers. On the side of the naturally born Chaos Origin Lifeforms, countless advanced Chaos Origin Lifeforms have died in every battle.

If one breaks through by comprehending the mysteries of bloodlines, they can still receive sufficient cultivation, as there is hope of becoming a world-class Primordial Being. However, for those like them who fuse bloodlines and slowly tap into their potential for ultimate awakening, the hope of becoming a world-class Primordial Being in the future is negligible, and naturally they are not valued.

“Yuan Qi and Luo Feng’s potential far surpasses ours,” Qiu Ge exclaimed. “If they comprehend the Great Dao of Fusion at the semi-primordial level, they will almost certainly become world-class primordial beings in the future.”

"The lord said that whether it's Yuan Qi or Luo Feng, the Great Dao they pursue is the limit of life," Yi Feiya said. "Pursuing the extreme makes them extremely powerful, but it also increases the difficulty."

"Regardless, I hope they succeed, at least one of them." Qiu Ge shook his head slightly. "Our Dark Holy Realm has never given birth to a world-class Chaos Origin Lifeform..."

Yifeiya's heart stirred: "We are the guardians of the Dark Holy Realm. If we don't help them now, we won't have another chance once they succeed."

"What do you mean?" Qiu Ge asked tentatively.

“Those who cultivate the Great Dao are exceptionally talented and have a high probability of becoming world-class Chaos Origin Lifeforms,” Yifeiya said. “Once they break free from their shackles and become world-class Chaos Origin Lifeforms, they can help us, which will make our lives much easier.”

"How can we help?" Qiu Ge was intrigued. "How about we choose a suitable opponent for them?"

“We can first choose a suitable opponent for Luo Feng, after all, his teacher Yuan Qi has been in seclusion for a long time,” Yi Feiya said confidently. “As long as news of the Hunyuan Prisoners appears, it will definitely entice Luo Feng to go hunting.”

“Alright, let’s do it this way!” Qiu Ge nodded with a smile. “Luo Feng is close to a breakthrough. Choosing a suitable opponent might really help him take that final step.”

“Helping Luo Feng break through is enough karma,” Yifeiya smiled. “If he can’t break through, we can think of other ways to help his teacher Yuan Qi break through as well.”

"Let's go." Qiu Ge was somewhat impatient.

If two cultivators on the verge of breaking through to the Extreme Fusion Dao can help one of them successfully break through, their future lives will be much better.

……

The Dark Holy Realm.

When news of the Hunyuan prisoners' appearance spread, Luo Feng quickly received the news and immediately passed it on to Li Qi.

As he had expected, his teacher did not reply at all, continuing to block all messages and focusing on his cultivation.

"The Prisoner of Chaos is extremely rare in the Dark Holy Realm. Just as everyone predicted, the Prisoner of Chaos appeared after the birth of an invincible being."

Unable to contact his teacher, Luo Feng decided to go with Daoist Jifeng to the wilderness where the Hunyuan prisoners were located.

“Apart from my teacher, I have no rivals in the Dark Holy Realm. The Prisoner of Chaos is a high-level Chaos life form. Although he is restricted from using his original power, he is still an enemy far beyond the peak level.”

His eyes flashed with fighting spirit. "This kind of enemy is very suitable as my opponent. Perhaps the profound mysteries of the Great Dao contained within him are exactly the type I need."

With this thought in mind, Luo Feng immediately left the cave.

"Divine Emperor Luo Feng".

Daoist Jifeng had been waiting outside the cave for a long time. Ever since he learned that Luo Feng was an invincible being, this peak expert's attitude had become much more respectful.

"Let's go to the prisoners in Hunyuan."

Luo Feng, accompanied by Daoist Jifeng, transformed into a beam of light and headed towards the outskirts of Hunyuan City. Their destination was the wilderness where the Hunyuan prisoners were located, where a large number of peak experts had gathered.

……

Time has passed, and another two millennia have gone by.

After a long period of seclusion, Li Qi finally finished analyzing the profound mysteries of the Dao on the five most core scales of the dragon.

However, to his disappointment, although the profound mysteries of the Great Dao on it were deep, they did not contain what he needed, nor did they inspire him to take the final step towards achieving the semi-primordial Great Dao.

"Still unable to break through..."

Li Qi sighed softly, "The rare cultivation pills I bought before have all been used up. I'll have to go hunting to buy more."

As his consciousness returned to the Dark Holy Realm, he discovered numerous messages on his communication token and quickly began to read them.

“Luo Feng has found the Mind Will System, and his strength is now estimated to be at an invincible level.” Li Qi nodded slightly.

As he continued reading, some of the information piqued his interest: "Hunyuan prisoners have appeared?"

However, upon checking the time, it was a message sent by Luo Feng, Daojun Jifeng, and others two thousand years ago.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "Two thousand years have passed, and the corpse of that Hunyuan prisoner has probably changed hands several times by now."

The corpse of a high-level Hunyuan life form is priced at 1 trillion Hunyuan crystals in a large Hunyuan Palace. This amount of money is nothing to a peak expert.

Furthermore, many top-tier experts like to team up with other experts to collect Chaos Origin Crystals to purchase the corpse of a high-level Chaos Origin life form for study.

However, the appearance of the Prisoner of Chaos is still a major event for the Dark Holy Realm, even though many of the main battle clones of the peak powerhouses will perish in the process of hunting the Prisoner of Chaos.

The ability to clash with advanced Chaos Origin life forms is an immense temptation for many top experts, so even their demise cannot stop them.

"Hmm?" Li Qi continued reading the message, but a look of surprise appeared on his face. "Luo Feng killed a Hunyuan prisoner alone, and a Hunyuan prisoner who could cause physical contamination?"

"To put pressure on Luo Feng, the Hunyuan powerhouse guarding the Dark Holy Realm really dared to do that," Li Qi sighed, but he wasn't worried about Luo Feng's safety.

The fact that it could cause physical contamination only means that the Hunyuan prisoner had a trace of his original power released.

However, even a trace of primordial power is only enough to pollute the physical body; for a Hunyuan expert, expelling this pollution is nothing.

If it were soul contamination, that would be a real problem, even with the protection of the Origin World. Moreover, the contamination might interfere with Luo Feng's Great Dao, and even the Hunyuan experts guarding the Dark Holy Realm probably wouldn't dare to do that.

After all, if Luo Feng were to be corrupted by his soul, it would be almost equivalent to destroying one and a half seeds of the Chaos Origin Fusion Great Dao, a responsibility they could not afford.

"This……"

When Li Qi saw the last message Luo Feng sent, he was slightly stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but chuckle.

"I never expected that my disciple would accomplish what neither I, in the past nor in the present, could do."

Li Qi smiled and sighed with satisfaction in his eyes, "Having opened up a semi-primordial fusion path, my disciple has a high chance of becoming a world-class primordial being."

As a teacher, he was naturally pleased that his disciple had achieved such success.

That's right, the last message Luo Feng sent was that he had comprehended half of the Chaotic Origin Life and Death Great Dao and was being guided away by Senior Yuan! (End of this chapter)
