Chapter 384: Episode 9 Chapter 20 Perfection (Part 1)

The Lava Prisoner lay at the end of the massive chasm, somewhat incredulous as he looked at the black-clothed, black-haired man appearing in the distance.

“A lowly cultivator within the Braided Cage can wield such power?” The Lava Prisoner couldn’t believe it. Immediately, it sensed that the force sealing its physical body, soul, and life core, penetrating every part, suddenly loosened slightly.

Even with just a slight release, a portion of the Lava Prisoner’s originally vast and mighty power broke free from the seal, instantly enhancing its strength. The energy coursed through its entire body, and its chest fully recovered.

“The two guardians of the Dark Sacred Realm have lifted the seal slightly.” The Lava Prisoner, being a formidable presence even among high-level primordial lives, was naturally shrewd and quickly surmised the intentions of the two guardians. “They’re planning to use me to temper this cultivator?”

“Heh heh.”

“And still within the Braided Cage, already this strong! This cultivator’s talent and potential are terrifying. Indeed worth the two guardians’ trouble.”

The Lava Prisoner’s heart was boiling with hatred.

“If there’s a chance, kill this cultivator for good! Those two guardians will definitely be furious and might even be punished by the top ranks of the cultivator camp!” The Lava Prisoner saw no vitality and only wished to retaliate against the cultivator camp fiercely.

“If this cultivator knows the Clone Technique, there’s nothing I can do. But, from what I understand, most cultivators in the Braided Cage don’t have avatars.”

“I need to find an opportunity to deliver a lethal blow and eradicate this genius cultivator,” the Lava Prisoner thought.

The two guardians treated it as a tool.

Yet, a tool can also backlash!

…

“These prisoners are originally from the Innate Primordial Life Camp and are our mortal enemies. Now imprisoned, they are filled with resentment.” Qiu Ge, standing high above, watched the scene, “The stronger its hatred, the greater threat it poses to Luo Feng.”

“On Luo Feng’s path, his life form is extraordinarily vast. Even if the Primordial Prisoner severely damages Luo Feng, the chances of killing this avatar are slim.” Yifeiya smiled slightly, “Even if this avatar is truly destroyed, it’s still beneficial, as it’ll surely provoke Luo Feng even more.”

They hoped this battle would help Luo Feng break through.

…

Boom!

Amidst the crevices of heaven and earth, Luo Feng’s figure instantly appeared in front of the Lava Prisoner, with his raised arm slashing down like a blade! The power of life and death cut through all obstacles, even slicing open the membrane of heaven and earth!

“So fast!” The Lava Prisoner, under the seal, couldn’t fly and moved slowly. Facing this attack from Luo Feng, it could only slightly turn its body, taking the blow with its shoulder.

This slash from Luo Feng!

The Lava Prisoner’s body sunk directly into the earth like a stake, half buried, with only its upper body still above ground.

“Heh heh heh.” The Lava Prisoner grinned, revealing several rows of teeth as sharp as saw blades, interlocking like a jungle.

“Got stronger?” Luo Feng immediately noticed that in the first palm strike earlier, the Primordial Prisoner was utterly powerless, knocked away without resistance! But now, the more ferocious slash, the Lava Prisoner withstood it, remaining unscathed.

“Cultivator, your strength seems a bit weak,” the Lava Prisoner grinned at Luo Feng, “If I wasn’t sealed, a single finger could crush you.”

As it spoke, suddenly, eight arms extended from the Lava Prisoner’s body, attacking simultaneously with eight rocky arms!

Luo Feng vanished like an illusory bubble.

“I’m too slow.” The Lava Prisoner frowned slightly, as virtual chains permeated its body, making every move sluggish. Even the surprise attack with eight arms at close range failed to touch this cultivator.

“Life and Death Reincarnation!”

In an instant, over ten Luo Feng appeared, surrounding the Lava Prisoner from all sides, including the top, launching consecutive attacks.

Whether hand techniques, fist techniques, or claw techniques… each move utilized the Half-Primordial Life and Death Path, using Luo Feng’s arms as weapons, chaining one move after another, even leveraging the previous move’s power to enhance the subsequent attacks.

The moves were like life and death reincarnation, the vitality growing denser, and the destructive aura becoming increasingly terrifying. Almost in a blink, Luo Feng unleashed tens of thousands of strikes.

These tens of thousands of strikes brought immense satisfaction to Luo Feng!

Every move mobilized as much of his twelve billion-fold size as possible! Under such extreme pressure, Luo Feng’s control over his body began to improve further.

The Lava Prisoner’s moves were slower, unable to touch Luo Feng, and in an instant, it took tens of thousands of impacts.

Each of these tens of thousands of strikes echoed like the roar of the heavens and earth.

“Pfft,” The Lava Prisoner spat, its mouth flowing with lava-like blood, while its body bore countless scars, disappearing with the flowing lava.

“Your moves are too weak,” The Lava Prisoner ignored the trickling blood, looking at Luo Feng, “Thirty-five thousand strikes, and this is all? Oh, the wounds are gone now.”

“Hoo!”

Luo Feng’s figure flickered, and a cyan-gray spear appeared in his hand.

This cyan-gray spear was one of the many life and death secret treasures Luo Feng purchased after arriving in the Dark Sacred Realm. With his current realm, especially after studying the Sky Splitting Saber, he could draw even more fascination from the spear!

“Boom——” The spear in Luo Feng’s hand suddenly thrust forward, trembling slightly as it thrust, secret patterns emerged brightly along the spear shaft, a terrifying force trying to pierce through everything.

“This——” The Lava Prisoner was startled.

The spear had already pierced its chest! However, with its towering and massive physique, its body extremely thick, the spear forcefully pierced halfway through the Lava Prisoner’s body, instantly pulling out, and thrusting a second time into the Lava Prisoner’s frame.

Yet, during the second thrust, an invisible force within the Lava Prisoner entangled and hindered Luo Feng from withdrawing the spear.

“You cannot escape,” The Lava Prisoner’s two of its arms at that moment also grasped the spear shaft.

“Close combat makes it a bit troublesome to kill you,” Luo Feng’s figure flickered to a distance. Instead of retrieving the long spear, he simply smiled slightly, and the Endless Blood Sea spread out, sweeping across the vast surrounding heavens and earth.

In the depths of this Endless Blood Sea, there were two formation diagrams and a black tower.

At this moment, Luo Feng activated these three Life and Death Dao secret treasures, among the ten or so Life and Death Secret Treasures he purchased, these three were the most suitable to use alongside the ’Undying Blood Sea’ for setting formations.

Combining three grand arrays! Powers aligned! This was now the strongest ’Blood Sea Array’ Luo Feng could employ.

“Boom~~~”

The blood sea roiled! Although the Lava Prisoner was massive, it was engulfed by the blood sea, and layers of formations covered and constrained it.

Under the Blood Sea Array, the Lava Prisoner felt bound in layers. Its eight arms struggled to move, barely able to unleash about twenty or thirty percent of its strength.

“How can the body of this cultivator in the braided cage be so colossal? Such terrifying energy reserves, nearly reaching those of some high-level primordial lives.” The Lava Prisoner was somewhat panicked.

Although it was a mighty existence among high-level primordial lives, its power was sealed.

In such a sealed state, facing Luo Feng who wielded numerous secret treasures, it was utterly powerless to resist.

“My ’Life and Death Dao’ centers on life, with destruction as a supplement. The explosive power in close combat is somewhat lacking,” Luo Feng thought, “Utilizing secret treasures, leveraging formations to amplify the advantages of life forms, is my current strongest state.”

…

The Lava Prisoner appeared in the Dark Sacred Realm over a hundred eras ago.

Initially, it attracted a large number of cultivators, but it never won a battle, gradually reducing the number of surrounding cultivators.

Currently, there were only about a thousand cultivators still around.

“It’s Luo Feng Divine Emperor.”

“Luo Feng Divine Emperor took action and heavily injured that Primordial Prisoner with one palm.”

They watched the battle scene excitedly.

Finally, a cultivator capable of overpowering this Primordial Prisoner appeared, suppressing it one-on-one!

“What a formidable array.”

They watched closely as the Endless Blood Sea Array enveloped the Lava Prisoner, who struggled and resisted within it, but its efforts were visibly weakened.

“Back then, Dragon Nine Daoist Monarch, together with over ten thousand cultivators, couldn’t threaten this Primordial Prisoner with their combined array.”

“At one point, even over a hundred thousand cultivators, with scattered offensives, couldn’t threaten the Primordial Prisoner.”

“Luo Feng Divine Emperor can suppress this Primordial Prisoner all by himself! Is he stronger than hundreds of thousands of cultivators? In the history records of the Dark Sacred Realm, there has never been an invincible existence to such a degree.”

These observing cultivators discussed, mentioning the three routes to invincibility. In the Dark Sacred Realm’s history, no ’Half-Primordial Fusion Dao’ cultivators were born, just the two more common routes.

Manifesting one’s spiritual will to escape the braided cage, excavating the potential of a world-level primordial bloodline. These two kinds of invincible existences were indeed far less imposing than Luo Feng.

In reality, these cultivators were unaware.

Among Fusion Dao cultivators, Luo Feng was very special. He didn’t pursue ’life and death balance’, but rather focused on ’Star Tower Blood Scale’, taking the extreme path, pursuing the immense limits of life forms! While the difficulty of the path increased, the power was indeed much greater.

…

The Lava Prisoner continued to sink in the Endless Blood Sea, its resistance weakening continuously. Suddenly, it saw a giant pill furnace appear within the blood sea, the furnace lid already open.

“Not good.” The Lava Prisoner knew it was in trouble, yet it could no longer resist.

“Capture.”

Enveloped by the formation, the Lava Prisoner fell directly into the pill furnace, with the lid closing instantly. Among the ten or so Life and Death Secret Treasures Luo Feng acquired, this pill furnace was the strongest in terms of refining enemies.

The Endless Blood Sea returned to calm, and Luo Feng sat cross-legged above it, looking at the pill furnace that floated to the sea’s surface. The furnace’s exterior was a deep green color, and when Luo Feng activated it, its surface was covered in a secret pattern of green and black intertwining.

“Sizzle~~~~”

Within the pill furnace, the Lava Prisoner was being refined.

“This cultivator is too troublesome.” The Lava Prisoner originally planned to conceal some of its strength, to finish off that cultivator at a critical moment. But with the Blood Sea Array, it couldn’t utilize its power and unknowingly ended up inside this pill furnace.

“Qiu Ge, let the Lava Prisoner increase its strength again.” Yifeiya observed everything from the high altitude, frowning, “It poses no threat to Luo Feng.”

“If it strengthens further, pollution might emerge.” Qiu Ge said.

“Just fully lock its soul! Even if there’s some minor power pollution, the impact is minimal,” Yifeiya remarked.

Qiu Ge nodded.

Soul pollution was indeed most severe, while slight power pollution was no big deal.

“Luo Feng is too powerful. I already chose a Primordial Prisoner with the strongest body, yet I am still forced to release a tiny amount of its true strength.” Qiu Ge, holding a command token, cautiously loosened a bit more restraint.

This release of restraint already broke a certain limit, the Lava Prisoner would now truly unleash a tiny portion of its high-level primordial life essence. Even if it was just a sliver, it was still high-level primordial strength. Such power was already polluting to divine emperors.

“Hmm?”

Sitting cross-legged atop the Blood Sea, Luo Feng, while controlling the Life and Death Pill Furnace to refine the Lava Prisoner inside, suddenly sensed the struggles and resistance within the furnace rapidly increasing.
