Luo Feng was secretly puzzled. Hadn’t Lord Chaos instructed him to meet after ten battles? Now he had only fought twice. Why had Lord Chaos come in person? Moreover, Lord Chaos wasn’t someone impatient; the long passage of time had made him extremely patient.
“Do you intend to create a second move?” Lord Chaos looked at Luo Feng.
“Yes,” Luo Feng replied respectfully. “Disciple feels that the first move of both ‘Moonlight Strategy’ and ‘Ten Thousand Stars Preaching Diagram’ is still insufficient. Therefore, I must create the second move.”
“You’re creating both supreme techniques?” Lord Chaos continued.
“Yes,” Luo Feng answered without hesitation.
Lord Chaos slightly furrowed his brow and asked solemnly, “Have you fought any battles in the past few days?”
“I fought two battles. The first one I barely won, while the second one I lost,” Luo Feng replied.
“What insights have you gained?” Lord Chaos asked.
“Through these two battles, the disciple realized that both one’s strength and treasures are very important,” Luo Feng replied respectfully. “If one’s strength is insufficient, even possessing great treasures won’t allow one to fully unleash their power. Without treasures, one will be at a great disadvantage against opponents of equal strength. My current treasures are decent, but my strength can still improve further!”
In the boundless starry sky of the training ground, Luo Feng and Lord Chaos stood amidst the stars, asking and answering questions.
“Didn’t those real battles make you feel that… pursuing the path of a mentalist is a waste of time?” Lord Chaos’s deep voice rumbled, directly striking Luo Feng’s soul. However, Luo Feng’s will was extremely firm.
“A waste of time?”
Luo Feng immediately shook his head. “No, on the contrary, I feel my strength has greatly increased. This path suits me very well!” Joking aside, he possessed the mentalist supreme treasure ‘Star Chart’ specifically for offense. Even if creating secret techniques himself might hardly allow him to defeat a King-level Limitless expert, with the ‘Star Chart,’ he could overpower Thunder King!
Upon hearing this, Lord Chaos couldn’t help shaking his head slightly.
“Give it up.”
“Abandon the mentalist path and focus solely on the warrior path,” Lord Chaos sighed deeply.
Luo Feng was stunned, staring at Lord Chaos. During his time under Lord Chaos’s tutelage, the latter had always guided rather than dictated.
“Why?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask urgently. “My will is extremely strong, and I once inherited the legacy of Demon Sound Divine General, achieving a very high amplification factor. On the mentalist path… I can definitely go very far.”
“But on the warrior path, you can go even further!” Lord Chaos replied.
“Please, Master, enlighten me,” Luo Feng bowed.
Lord Chaos looked at his disciple. He clearly knew that with Luo Feng’s character and willpower, it was impossible to make him abandon his path with just a single sentence.
“Then I will tell you,” Lord Chaos said solemnly. “Firstly, you are a Black Warrior! Secondly, you cultivate the Beast God Path!”
Luo Feng listened attentively.
“Black Warriors have already become legends on the Blood-Net Continent!” Lord Chaos sighed. “Anyone who becomes a Black Warrior indicates an extremely high compatibility between their genes and the Beast God bloodline. Therefore, the extent to which ‘Beast God Blood’ can enhance your genes in the future will be even more astonishing.”
“Genes are the foundation. If one’s foundation is ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times stronger, how can others compete?”
“Moreover, the fallen Beast God on the Blood-Net Continent itself excelled in close combat.”
“Remember, any mentalist who walks the Beast God Path will never reach its peak,” Lord Chaos looked at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng was stunned.
Never reach the peak?
“To reach the peak and rival the Beast God, one must follow the warrior path!” Lord Chaos declared. “You are a Black Warrior… inherently endowed with an exceptionally rare physical constitution. Your swift advancement in cultivating the Beast God Path clearly demonstrates your extraordinary comprehension and talent. With such abundant gifts, how could you possibly waste them? By adhering to the warrior path… you possess the potential to ascend as a Cosmic Lord! Though this path is immensely arduous, unwavering dedication guarantees success. Conversely, recklessly pursuing alternative cultivation methods in hopes of becoming a Cosmic Lord… would render the likelihood of success vanishingly small.”
Luo Feng stood silently, deep in thought.
“Some weak species in the universe are completely unaware of these secrets. Some who cultivate the Beast God Path also pursue the mentalist path. It’s laughable, destined for failure. Take Xiluo, for example! He ultimately got stuck at the final step, unable to cross it no matter how hard he tried.” Lord Chaos looked at Luo Feng. “You think carefully and then give me your answer.”
After speaking, Lord Chaos turned around and stood silently.
Luo Feng also remained silent.
“Only by following the warrior path can one hope to rival the Beast God?” Luo Feng pondered. “Being a Black Warrior signifies an exceptionally high compatibility between my genes and the Beast God bloodline? That makes sense. When I cultivated the ‘Nine Tribulations Secret Canon,’ my genes underwent multiple fundamental leaps, far surpassing ordinary human bloodlines, which allowed me to ultimately fuse ten Blood-Net Crystals.”
“How should I choose?”
“One path is the one Master Chaos has chosen for me: the warrior path, following the Beast God Path, with the potential to rival the Beast God in the future. That would be becoming a Cosmic Lord!”
The other path is the one Master Sitting Mountain has chosen for me: the mentalist path, cultivating the “Nine Tribulations Secret Canon,” while leaving the creation of secret techniques entirely to me, only waiting for me to grow stronger and eventually take control of the Star Tower! Master Sitting Mountain’s two disciples are both Cosmic Lords. Presumably, this path offers a greater chance of becoming a Cosmic Lord, and there’s also one of the supreme treasures, the “Star Tower.”
“How should I choose?”
Scenes flashed through Luo Feng’s mind.
“Haha, why worry so much!”
“If both paths offer hope of becoming a Cosmic Lord, then I’ll walk both!” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. “Unlike Bolan, who divided his focus between two laws, I’m researching the same Beast God Path. One is the warrior’s Beast God Path, the other is the mentalist’s Beast God Path.”
“Practicing both simultaneously will further aid my research into the ‘Beast God Path,'” Luo Feng thought to himself.
…
In the boundless starry sky.
Lord Chaos stood silently in the void, his back to Luo Feng.
“Master,” Luo Feng called respectfully.
“Have you decided?” Lord Chaos’s voice remained calm.
“I have decided,” Luo Feng’s eyes shone brightly. “The disciple has decided to cultivate both the warrior and mentalist paths! If I’m truly mistaken in the future, I’ll abandon one of them.”
“Since you’ve decided, I won’t say more. I’ll see how far you can go… cultivating both the warrior and mentalist paths simultaneously,” Lord Chaos turned around, looking at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng also looked at his master.
Their eyes met, but Luo Feng showed no sign of cowardice.
“Very well,” Lord Chaos nodded slightly. “It’s fine to make mistakes, but you must adhere to your true self and commit fully.”
“I understand,” Luo Feng nodded.
“Then continue creating supreme techniques. I will arrange opponents for you based on the weaknesses in your techniques,” Lord Chaos said and then vanished.
Luo Feng knelt respectfully: “Thank you, Master.”
This bow came from the bottom of his heart. Even though he had gone against Lord Chaos’s wishes, the master still encouraged and supported him. Moreover, Lord Chaos had gone to great lengths to arrange opponents for his secret techniques, which was an extremely demanding task. Perhaps Lord Chaos valued and nurtured him for the sake of his race, but regardless, Lord Chaos had shown him great kindness!
Kindness must be remembered! When the ability and opportunity arise, it must be repaid!
“Let’s begin!”
With a flicker, Luo Feng disappeared. In midair, a towering Jingu Jushou appeared, still following the old plan: first creating ‘Moonlight Strategy,’ then ‘Ten Thousand Stars Preaching Diagram.’
…
In a remote corner of the universe, within the icy belt of the Wuhua Secret Realm’s Ice Prison.
Before ‘Silver Eye,’ one of the five great powers, Luo Feng first deciphered ‘Death God’s Finger,’ then endured the ‘Silver Eye,’ and finally escaped gracefully. This news naturally began to spread within the Ice Prison. However, the Ice Prison lacked advanced communication methods. Even Luo Feng’s large detector was affected by the ‘Ice Prison,’ making it clear… establishing an internal virtual world was very unrealistic.
Communication was backward!
Moreover, many powerhouses harbored grudges against each other, often engaging in lethal confrontations upon meeting. Only among close friends or those of comparable strength would occasional gatherings take place. As a result, the dissemination of this news was exceedingly slow. Even after more than half a year, less than a third of the powerhouses in the Ice Prison were aware of it.
…
In the Southern Ice Prison, amidst the boundless snowy plains, stood a magnificent palace. Surrounding the palace were countless ice blocks haphazardly embedded in the ground. Each ice block was inscribed with characters of the demon race, clearly marking the rankings within the Ice Prison. Undoubtedly, this palace housed an exceptionally unique presence in the entire Ice Prison—Tianlang!
Tianlang, one of the five great powers!
At the same time, he was the compiler of the rankings and also the kindest figure in the entire Ice Prison. Although the demon royalty’s “Tianlang” was rumored to be extremely ferocious, this “Tianlang,” one of the five great powers, seldom resorted to slaughter. His gentle temperament had been widely acknowledged over countless years. However, if provoked, he would not hesitate to kill, for his position among the five great powers was forged through battles that shook the Ice Prison.
“Master, it seems the rankings need to be updated again.”
“Has a new battle occurred?”
Upon a colossal throne crafted from blocks of ice within the palace, a demonic creature approximately ten kilometers in length coiled like a towering mountain. Its entire body was draped in snow-white fur, the tips of which shimmered with a golden hue, radiating an aura of golden light. Three peculiar mystical patterns adorned its forehead, resembling three slashes left by a blade.
He was Tianlang!
“Yes, a human fought against Thunder King, and another human fought against Silver Eye,” said five servants standing below the grand hall. These five servants were scaly monsters, only at the Marquis-level strength, companions brought in by Tianlang when he was imprisoned long ago.
“A human!”
The towering Tianlang, coiled on the throne, suddenly raised his head, his emerald-green fierce eyes looking down. “Where is the human? Find that human immediately, quickly!”
“Master, this battle happened more than half a year ago,” the five servants were stunned.
“More than half a year ago?”
Tianlang let out a series of angry growls. When humans first appeared in the Ice Prison, Silver Eye and others had openly searched for them. Tianlang had secretly dispatched his subordinates to look for humans as well. However, after a long time without success, he had given up. Unexpectedly, the first piece of news he received was already half a year old.
“This can’t go on,” Tianlang abruptly rose, his four hooves planted firmly across the entire throne, an overwhelming aura of majesty radiating outward, forcing the five attendants to their knees in terror.
