Chapter 177: A Divine Body Beyond Imagination

Origin Continent, in the quiet chamber of the City Lord’s Residence in Huyang City.

Luo Feng’s consciousness had completely returned to his body. The previously existing Chaos Space within him had long since evolved into a broader and more resilient space. Divine Kings typically opened up a universe within such a space.

Because the laws of operation in such universes were reflections of their own comprehension of the Path—a form of cultivation in itself.

“Rumble~~~”

Like the vast surge of the Heavenly River, endless and fierce energy from a mysterious place transformed into divine power, continuously pouring into Luo Feng’s internal space, forming an endless ocean.

And the mysterious place continued to irrigate him without pause.

In merely three months of Earth time, a Small Universe in his homeland region could grow to the size of a Primal Universe. This demonstrated just how violently the energy was being infused. Now, all of it was going into the formation of Luo Feng’s divine body.

“Divine body transformation.”

Luo Feng took the initiative to guide it, rapidly forming a new divine body with the infinite divine power.

“This divine body might become enormous. I probably won’t be able to fully conceal its aura.”

With a thought, Luo Feng had a distant avatar in Chu Capital quietly leave, carrying the Star Tower.

In just a few breaths, it brought the Star Tower to Huyang City.

Inside the quiet chamber, the Star Tower sat silently, and Luo Feng had already entered it.

“Boom!!!”

In one of the tower’s internal spaces, Luo Feng held nothing back, forming his divine body at maximum speed. The sea of divine power within him visibly receded, and before long, it had completely dried up.

Of course, the endless energy from the mysterious place continued to convert into divine power and pour in.

Whatever came, Luo Feng turned it all into divine body.

“One hundred trillion kilometers… one hundred and ten trillion kilometers…” Luo Feng felt his divine body grow rapidly. In just three days of Origin Continent time, his Perfect Divine Body had already reached its limit.

At that point, the wanton infusion of energy from the mysterious place ceased.

The bestowal from the Supreme Laws, this unrestricted irrigation of energy, was a one-time opportunity tied to becoming a Divine King.

“My divine body…”

Luo Feng felt himself.

A majestic and boundless divine body sat cross-legged within the Star Tower. The space inside the tower was still large enough to contain his fully manifested divine body.

“In the environment of Origin Continent, my divine body stands at a height of 1.8 quadrillion kilometers. That’s already taller than the heavens themselves.” Luo Feng understood clearly.

The height of the heavens on Origin Continent varied slightly depending on basins or mountains, but on average was about one quadrillion kilometers.

So, even an Infinite Divine Body at the Chaos Realm, when actively enlarged, would struggle to reach the sky.

But for Divine Kings with an Infinite Divine Body, it was different.

“The divine bodies of Divine Kings with Infinite Divine Bodies are typically about 360 trillion kilometers tall. Even when manifesting their divine bodies at normal height, walking across the land is easy. They can even casually match the height of the heavens.” Luo Feng was well aware of this.

For ancient Divine Kings, standing as tall as the heavens was perfectly normal.

“But I…”

“My normal divine body can’t even stand upright on Origin Continent. Even while seated cross-legged, my head likely touches the stars.” Luo Feng thought.

“The Star Tower is truly formidable. Even just one of its internal spaces can expand larger than my body and still feels relaxed.” Luo Feng knew well that while many cave-type treasures had large internal spaces, such an enormous space was still of immeasurable value.

He had long sensed the extraordinary nature of the Star Tower, but for now, he couldn’t yet comprehend its mysteries.

“A Divine King-level Perfect Divine Body—this is its final form. From here on, to make the body stronger, to strengthen the soul, will all depend on my own cultivation.” Luo Feng reflected on his robust foundation.

His divine body and divine power reserves far exceeded that of typical Divine Kings. Even in terms of divine power quality, he was superior.

In terms of soul foundation, after becoming a Divine King—with a Small Universe akin to a Primal Universe and a Perfect Divine Body—Luo Feng’s soul had become immensely stronger.

For Divine Kings not cultivating the Soul Path, to strengthen the soul meant either nurturing it through their physical body, which was inefficient, or relying on rare treasures, which were priceless.

“Many in the Chaos Realm, upon comprehending a branch of the Origin Path, would rather reincarnate first to make up for deficiencies, cultivate an Infinite Divine Body, and then become a Divine King.” Luo Feng silently sighed. “A solid foundation truly is vital.”

“World Life Form—transform!”

At Luo Feng’s command, he began converting his Perfect Divine Body into a World Life Form.

The Perfect Divine Body was ultimately made of divine power, and in terms of combat strength, it still fell short of a World Life Form. The 《World Life Form》 was a Top-Tier Inheritance, starting off at invincible First Stage Divine King level, with an extremely high ceiling.

Rumble~~~

With previous experience in transformation, Luo Feng was much faster this time, converting vast amounts of divine power.

“This time, it’s much easier to control the World Life Form.” Luo Feng felt the difference.

His mental will hadn’t improved much since breaking through to Divine King, but his soul had grown enormously.

A soul was like an army—a 10,000-strong army and a million-strong army both under one general would yield vastly different combat power.

“A vast soul can also control a more immense body.”

The Perfect Divine Power continuously transformed into the stronger World Life Form.

This process lasted five full days.

Two towering bodies sat cross-legged in the Star Tower: one in black robes was the Perfect Divine Body, the other in silver robes was the World Life Form.

“Half of the Perfect Divine Body’s divine power reserves were consumed, and I’m nearly at the limit of what my mental will can endure.” The silver-robed Luo Feng stood up—rumble! Just that movement sent shockwaves through the surrounding space, making the Star Tower tremble.

“A powerful soul foundation and Ultimate Divine King-level mental will are just barely enough to control such a terrifying body. The burden on my mind is already over ninety percent!”

Though the energy reserves of the Perfect Divine Body and the World Life Form were comparable, their might was vastly different.

“If the mental burden is over ninety percent all the time, it’s exhausting! I’d better let this World Life Form enter ‘slumber’ most of the time.” At his thought, the silver-robed Luo Feng immediately sat down cross-legged again.

He gradually fell into slumber. His breathing continued, stirring up storms, but his consciousness had nearly faded.

“In this dormant state, the mental burden becomes negligible.”

“When I’m out in the world, I should use some weaker avatars instead.”

With that thought—

The silver-robed Luo Feng seated cross-legged shot out three streaks of silver light, which then coalesced into three avatars.

“Each avatar has roughly one-thousandth of the energy reserve of the World Life Form. Even so, they are many times stronger than the World Life Form I formed during my Chaos Realm days.” Luo Feng was very satisfied.

From Chaos Realm to Divine King—

The height of his divine body had increased a hundredfold. The quality of his divine power had transformed a hundredfold… From an energy perspective, that was a difference of over a billionfold.

Just one of these current avatars was far more powerful than the World Life Form he had painstakingly condensed during his time in the Chaos Realm.

“Each avatar should count as invincible at the First Stage Divine King level.” Luo Feng thought. “And with this avatar, I can also perform many techniques with extreme finesse.”

“If I went all out, I should be invincible among normal First Stage Divine Kings… and perhaps even a level higher.”

Luo Feng made his assessment.

The so-called invincibility at the First Stage Divine King level was a rather broad concept. It referred to one’s overall prowess in survival, offense, and defense reaching the domain of the Second Stage Divine King. Different “invincible” First Stage Divine Kings each had their own specialties.

For instance, Divine King Jiayin cultivated both the "Infinite" and "Causality" Paths. While her direct combat strength was far inferior to Luo Feng’s at this moment, her abilities in foreseeing fortune and avoiding danger far surpassed his.

“A First Stage Divine King defeating a Second Stage Divine King, and a Second Stage Divine King defeating an Ultimate Divine King… I’ve never heard of it happening on the Origin Continent.”

“But in the treasured land ‘Infinite Space’, there are recorded inheritances where this is theoretically possible.”

Luo Feng understood this clearly.

It was only something possible in theory.

Just like a Perfect-level Inheritance—even getting started was only theoretically achievable!

“According to The World Life Form, at the First Stage Divine King level, it’s theoretically possible to attain the most perfect physical body, the ‘Twenty-Four Phases Form’. That’s my next goal. But for now, I can put that aside. My core focus going forward will be the ‘Origin Path of Destruction’,” Luo Feng thought.

The Twenty-Four Phases Form was also expressed in the complete Origin Path of Life, embodied in twenty-four claws—each claw representing one phase of that path.

Each phase was a fusion of the Six Major Branches of Life, more intricate and profound than even the Ten Directions World Form.

To comprehend all twenty-four phases was unimaginably difficult.

Typically, by the time one had understood the Six Major Branches to such depth to grasp just a few phases, the branches would already have completely merged—resulting in a breakthrough to the Second Stage Divine King.

“The World Life Form will remain my strongest physical form for quite a long time.”

“What I need now is to better unleash the power of this body.”

In terms of battle and slaughter, the Origin Path of Destruction was naturally superior.

Luo Feng then calmed his heart and sensed his internal space—an even vaster realm, evolved from the Chaos Space. Given his profound foundation, the internal space had also become deeper and broader.

“Most Divine Kings typically develop their internal space into a universe.”

“I, however, am more suited to develop it into a ‘Source World’,” Luo Feng considered. “At least, into the prototype of a Source World.”

On one hand, this was due to the Top-Tier Inheritance of The World Life Form, which required the creation of an internal world. And ultimately, that “world”… aimed to become a Source World.

On the other hand, Luo Feng had integrated his heart with the Supreme Laws, and had observed the full appearance of the Source Worlds across the Origin Continent.

“Open.”

With that single thought—

His Small Universe back in his homeland continuously gathered and transmitted divine power. Although the Small Universe had a limit to the energy it could bear, there were no limits imposed by the Supreme Laws on how much energy Luo Feng could use for cultivation.

This applied to any living being—so long as they could utilize it, they were free to do so.

“Rumble~~~” Within his body, infinite energy converged at the core, beginning to gather into a small landmass—an exact miniature replica of the Origin Continent.

Ninety-nine percent of the energy was focused here.

Beyond it lay a broader region of void—within which Three Thousand Micro Source Worlds were being nurtured.

The endless “World Power” of the World Life Form also fused into this realm, enabling it to evolve naturally. The miniature Origin Continent became increasingly dense and profound, with grass, flowers, and trees beginning to emerge. The positions of the Three Thousand Micro Source Worlds also started adjusting naturally, as vitality began to arise within them.

The entire operation of this Micro Source World within his body was governed by Luo Feng’s comprehension of the Six Major Branches of Life, imbuing the world with boundless vitality.

“This is just the beginning.” Luo Feng smiled.

“Buzz.”

After his internal world stabilized, Luo Feng used World Reflection, and the scope of its influence instantly grew far beyond what it used to be.

“This range…” Luo Feng was astonished.

Previously, his internal world could reflect an area of about Three Chaos States. Now, with the enhancement of his physical body, the broader internal world, and the deeper foundation, the range had expanded to Sixteen Chaos States.

Under normal circumstances, expanding the scope of World Reflection was extremely difficult. Even with vastly improved foundations, it would only grow marginally.

To leap from Three Chaos States to Sixteen Chaos States showed just how dramatic Luo Feng’s improvement was.

“Sixteen Chaos States.” Though Luo Feng stood in Huyang City, everything across the sixteen Chaos States—even down to a speck of dust—was within his observation.

The countless exotic beasts and the Twelve Chaos Realm cultivators across such a vast expanse—all remained completely unaware under Luo Feng’s watch.

“I am the world.”

“Nothing escapes me.”

Clad in silver, Luo Feng hovered above Huyang City. His body naturally emanated the “laws of internal world operation,” causing even the Supreme Laws to momentarily retreat from his surroundings. All energies, space-time layers, and even causal entanglements—everything fell under Luo Feng’s scrutiny.

“I’m finally getting close to the Heavenly Kun Ruler.” Luo Feng smiled.

At Bolu Mountain, inside Zhang Yunge’s cultivation dwelling—

“Yunge, is something going on between you and Qingyan?” her father’s voice came through a transmission.

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Yunge asked in confusion. “Did something happen?”

“Qingyan revoked the usage rights to ‘Purple Cloud Palace’ in Xiangjie City. Our family business was forced to relocate. Rumors are flying in the city… that you and Qingyan have broken up. And he hasn’t denied it,” her father said urgently. “Our commercial operations in the city have plummeted.”

Originally, Zhang Yunge had met Moyu Qingyan through her role managing some of the family’s businesses.

“He took back the Purple Cloud Palace usage rights?” Zhang Yunge fell silent.

“What happened between the two of you?” her father pressed.

“We broke up long ago.” Zhang Yunge no longer hid the truth.

“How could you break up?” her father exclaimed in disbelief and anger.

“Why not? As cultivators, we come together when we want, and separate when we wish. Must I report everything to Father?” Zhang Yunge said calmly. “Right now, I only want to focus on cultivation at Bolu Mountain.”

“You, you…” her father was livid.

Since his daughter had gotten involved with Moyu Qingyan, his status in the family had risen considerably, along with the scale of the business he managed.

“My decision is final.” Zhang Yunge said.

Her father could only relent.

Ever since she had become an Eternal True God, he had found it increasingly difficult to control her.

“Fine then. In that case, you must seize the opportunity at Bolu Mountain and cultivate well.”

“Of course. I know that.” Zhang Yunge responded and cut the transmission.
