Chương 96: Body Tempering
After becoming a Chaos Realm entity, Luo Feng left only a divine power incarnation outside while his true form remained within the Star Tower, fully dedicated to cultivation.
"Having reached this level, I've begun to see the limitations of my two lineages," Luo Feng sighed softly. His teacher, Zuo Shan Ke, had not provided him with a God-King level inheritance, likely because he felt that Luo Feng was unsuited for the path of crafting.
The Duan Dong River lineage did leave behind three God-King level inheritances: Duan Mie, Donghua, and Immortal River. However, these were paths chosen by the third ancestor himself. What Luo Feng needed were God-King level inheritances in the paths of Life and Destruction.
"For Eternal True Gods, the goal is to grasp the Chaos Laws," Luo Feng pondered. "So, almost any inheritance is suitable. But for those at the Chaos Realm, who have already mastered the Chaos Laws, the next step is to comprehend the Origin Daos."
Luo Feng sensed the heavens and earth, catching glimpses of the various Origin Daos hidden behind the chaos. These Origin Daos, when combined, formed the Supreme Rules, which governed the operation of the entire world.
"I don't have a single God-King level inheritance that suits me," Luo Feng lamented. Had it been any other top-tier Eternal True God, they might have already sought apprenticeship under the sovereign of the Yu Kingdom, who could bestow suitable God-King level inheritances upon his disciples.
"For now, I can only rely on the heritage of the Imperial Chu lineage of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom for God-King level inheritances," Luo Feng thought. "I've now become a Chaos Realm entity; I wonder if Di Chu Yu has broken through yet. Only after his breakthrough can he recruit me as a guest elder."
Luo Feng calmed his mind, pushing aside distracting thoughts. Without suitable God-King level inheritances, he would have to first practice some of the suitable Chaos Realm inheritances.
"The Chaos Great Force Diagram becomes increasingly demanding in terms of crafting skills as it progresses. My fourth tempering of the perfect divine body would require an enormous amount of resources. I'm too poor to even begin practicing it!" Luo Feng had almost given up on this technique.
On one hand, its upper limit wasn't very high—it was merely a Chaos Realm-level technique. On the other hand, its demands on crafting skills were too high. As an Eternal True God, Luo Feng had managed to complete the third tempering thanks to his talent and guidance from Sheng Tianyan. But at the Chaos Realm level, crafting skills undergo a qualitative change, and Luo Feng didn't intend to invest too much effort into it.
Another key factor was the excessive resource requirements. Luo Feng preferred to save his hard-earned resources for the inheritances of the Imperial Chu lineage of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom—resources should be used wisely.
"Nine Blades of Boundary Breaking is a technique I can continue practicing for a while. This blade technique also aligns with the Dao of Destruction. Unfortunately, it's also just a Chaos Realm-level technique," Luo Feng invested some effort into studying it.
Nine Blades of Boundary Breaking had three moves at the Chaos Realm level: Chaos Blade, Heaven and Earth Blade, and Boundary Breaking Blade.
The final move, Boundary Breaking Blade, aimed to cut through all layers of space and completely break open the world, creating a rift in the cage. Unfortunately, Boundary Breaking Blade could only cut through most of the spatial layers, failing to completely break the cage.
The entire blade technique was named Nine Blades of Boundary Breaking, likely reflecting the creator's aspirations.
"Even for a God-King, breaking the cage isn't easy," Luo Feng carefully studied the technique.
Having reached the Chaos Realm, even the inheritance space of the Duan Dong River lineage offered little help. That space was primarily designed to cultivate disciples into Eternal True Gods. Cultivating a Chaos Realm entity was already a miracle. Beyond that, it only provided some intelligence and guidance.
Within the City Lord's Mansion, in Luo Feng's courtyard.
Morosa, while eating roasted meat, looked at Mo Yu Qingyan in the distance and couldn't help but scold, "Why are you so stupid? You still can't comprehend even the basic laws? Compared to your master, your talent is countless times worse."
"I wouldn't dare compare myself to the master," Mo Yu Qingyan replied, "Actually, I'm just one step away from comprehending the Law of Time. I think I've done pretty well for someone who's spent just over thirty eras on the basic laws."
"Shut up," Morosa scolded. "Do you know how much effort I've put into teaching you? I must have explained the Law of Time over ten thousand times, you idiot."
Mo Yu Qingyan obediently listened. He was genuinely grateful to Lord Morosa. Over the past thirty-plus eras, his master had not given him much guidance, but Lord Morosa had repeatedly instructed him. Only recently did Mo Yu Qingyan learn that Lord Morosa was a supremely powerful Eternal True God, even stronger than leaders like Mo Li Xiao and Xue Yun, and was his master's protector.
Such a powerful being taking the time to instruct him personally moved Mo Yu Qingyan deeply.
Most teachers wouldn't be this attentive.
Mo Yu Qingyan had already come to see Morosa as his teacher.
"Crunch, crunch." Frustrated, Morosa quickly devoured the roasted meat.
"Morosa, come in," Luo Feng transmitted his voice through his mind, then teleported Morosa into the Star Tower. Morosa didn't resist.
Inside the Star Tower.
"Master, you called?" Morosa grinned, acting cautious and humble around his master, unlike the domineering attitude he had towards Mo Yu Qingyan.
"I want to see how I, a newly ascended Chaos Realm entity, compare to someone like you, who has deep accumulation in the Chaos Realm," Luo Feng said.
"Compare with me?" Morosa couldn't help but exclaim, "Master, you just broke through not long ago, and your divine body is still far from reaching its full potential."
With such a large gap, how could they even compare?
"I know I can't win; I just want to feel the difference," Luo Feng said.
"Alright." Morosa thought for a moment, then said, "I won't burn divine power or use any Chaos Realm techniques. I'll just rely on my body to compare with you, Master. That should bring my strength down to about ten percent."
Burning divine power would greatly increase strength, and using secret techniques would enhance it even further.
"Good." Luo Feng didn't hold back. He extended his hand, and the Bloodshadow Blade appeared.
Boom!
Luo Feng used the Duan Mie technique to its limit, burning his divine power. The Duan Mie technique utilized the Chaos Laws, which Luo Feng could still learn, though the further he advanced, the more difficult it became.
"Come on, come at me," Morosa said confidently.
Luo Feng instantly swung a chaotic blade light, cutting through the operation of the Chaos Laws. Within the blade's range, the Chaos Laws were severed, creating a deep black chasm, slicing through several layers of space.
This was the first move of the three Chaos Realm moves within the Nine Blades of Boundary Breaking—Chaos Blade.
This blade move was based on the Chaos Laws and contained some rudimentary insights into the Dao of Destruction, which Luo Feng, with his foundation in Destruction, mastered with little effort.
However, the subsequent second and third blades required much deeper insights into the Dao of Destruction, making them significantly more difficult to master.
"Puff!" Morosa extended his chubby hand and easily withstood Luo Feng's strike.
His palm skin only slightly dented before naturally dissipating the force of the blade.
"Master, that was strong. Double the power, and it might actually hurt me," Morosa exclaimed.
"This isn't right," Luo Feng said, puzzled, as he sheathed his blade.
"Why did you stop, Master?" Morosa asked, confused.
Luo Feng shook his head, "I've just recently broken through. This blade was already my strongest strike."
Morosa blinked. He had already said there was no need for a sparring match, but his master insisted. Now, with his master feeling a bit embarrassed, would he end up taking it out on him?
"This isn't right," Luo Feng murmured. "Though my divine body hasn't yet reached its limit, my divine power is very pure, surpassing that of ordinary Chaos Realm beings. Even with my divine power at its limit, why couldn't I even break your skin?"
If Morosa had used protective techniques or burned divine power, Luo Feng would have understood why he couldn't break through. But with only ten percent of his strength, Luo Feng couldn't even scratch him? Even if his body reached its full potential, he could only barely harm Morosa?
"Um…um…" Morosa hesitated before explaining, "I'm not a normal cultivator; I'm a Sector Beast. My body naturally becomes incredibly resilient through training, much stronger than your body tempering techniques. That's why you couldn't break my skin."
Morosa never thought highly of his master's body tempering techniques.
"Stronger than my body tempering techniques?" Luo Feng could understand, given that Morosa was an entity naturally born with complete mastery of the Dao of Destruction. It made sense that his body training methods would surpass those of The Chaos Great Force Diagram.
"But you didn't use any precious materials, so how did you temper your body?" Luo Feng asked.
"Master, what is body tempering?" Morosa explained, "For example, for you cultivators, the most basic unit of your body is divine power. For a Sector Beast, the most basic unit is Sector Beast power. Body tempering is the process of making that power combine more efficiently, greatly enhancing defense, strength, and speed."
"As for making divine power combine more efficiently, there isn't just one method. Refining the body as if it were a weapon or treasure is just one path," Morosa continued. "But I don't need any resources. I only need to combine my insights into the Dao of Destruction with the structure of my Sector Beast power, and my body naturally becomes stronger."
"But my method isn't suitable for you, Master. I'm a Sector Beast, with a realm contained within me. This is a body tempering method centered on the concept of a realm," Morosa explained.
Luo Feng understood. It made sense. After all, the essence of body tempering was to make divine power combine more efficiently. Refining the body like a weapon was just one way to do that.
"Show me your method," Luo Feng said.
"Alright." Morosa extended his hand, and strands of Sector Beast power flew out, beginning to combine. "But even if you see it, you won't be able to practice it. This body tempering method must center on the concept of a realm."
What seemed like ordinary Sector Beast power was combined in an incredibly intricate way, a structure so beautiful that it left Luo Feng in awe.
It was like countless grains of sand combining to form weapons capable of tearing through the stars.
A fundamental structural change ultimately led to a stronger body. This process didn't require a vast amount of resources; it was simply a unique combination of Sector Beast power.
This was far superior to refining the body as a treasure.
"Marvelous," Luo Feng praised. "I've heard that some ancient God-Kings have bodies of incredible intricacy, and this must be the same concept."
Morosa's intricate body tempering technique was something Luo Feng had only heard about before! His teacher, Zuo Shan Ke, and the Duan Dong River lineage had only brief mentions of such methods in their records. This type of inheritance was incredibly precious even among God-King level inheritances.
"This is a path worth exploring," Luo Feng thought. He instinctively felt that he could mimic about seventy to eighty percent of Morosa's Sector Beast power structure.
He lacked a 'realm' and his comprehension of Destruction wasn't as deep as Morosa's.
But as a perfect lifeform with shapeshifting abilities, Luo Feng could adapt in countless ways, even transforming his divine power into Sector Beast power. He could fully mimic and learn from Morosa, gaining valuable experience.
