Chapter 166 Ancient Flame Kingdom’s Royal Family
A vast, dark world, where countless living beings struggled to survive.
“We’ve finally won, we’ve finally wiped out this ‘Apocalyptic Terror.’”
“We have eliminated one of the seven Apocalyptic Terrors, this is the beginning of something new.”
The three surviving powerful cultivators were quite relieved, and the multitude of living beings in the distant base cheered excitedly.
“As long as we pass down the flame from generation to generation, we will eventually eradicate all these terrors, and our world will once again be filled with light, and freedom will return.” The countless beings were filled with longing for the light.
Suddenly, in the dark sky, a giant blood-red eye abruptly opened.
This scene made countless beings tremble in their hearts.
“It’s the Eye of Darkness!”
“The Heavenly Terror ‘Eye of Darkness’.” These beings were filled with extreme fear.
According to their classification, among the many terrors invading their world, the one ranked at the top was the ‘Heavenly Terror’—the Eye of Darkness! The moment this eye first opened in the sky, the entire world was plunged into eternal darkness.
They still had the confidence to fight against the Apocalyptic Terrors, but when faced with the supreme Heavenly Terror, the Eye of Darkness, all they felt was helplessness.
The more they understood, the more they realized how vast the gap was.
“Heavenly Dao has changed, Heavenly Dao has become the Eye of Darkness!” Back then, when the terrors invaded, many powerful cultivators, while comprehending the Heavenly Dao, found that it had changed, and even their path of cultivation ultimately led only to the Eye of Darkness.
Fortunately, over the long years, the Eye of Darkness, much like the Heavenly Dao, treated everything equally.
“Buzz.”
The Eye of Darkness emitted a red light, the red beam, like a pillar, enveloped a city, and instantly, the city came to life, its aura surged dramatically, transforming into a towering, twisted creature that knelt and bowed.
“The ‘City of Illusions’ has evolved, evolved into an Apocalyptic Terror?” In the distant base, countless beings who observed this scene fell into despair.
They had just managed to kill one Apocalyptic Terror, and now there was a new one?
“The seven Apocalyptic Terrors… it’s fate.” In the base, a powerful cultivator sensed the operation of Heavenly Dao and murmured, “The Eye of Darkness is the Heavenly Dao, and Heavenly Dao has decreed that there will always be seven Apocalyptic Terrors. Once one is destroyed, a new one will take its place. No matter how we struggle, it’s futile.”
“Fate?”
The countless beings who fought for this cause were in despair.
Suddenly—
The Eye of Darkness high in the sky let out a shrill scream.
“No!!!”
The scream of the Heavenly Terror reverberated in the hearts of every living being in the world, they all felt the terror and unwillingness of the Eye of Darkness! Then, the Eye of Darkness in the sky silently disintegrated and vanished.
And the sky, as if removing a giant black curtain, revealed its true appearance.
Warm sunlight… after countless ages, once again shone upon this land, and the world was restored to light.
“What… what is this?” Accustomed to the light formed by formations, many beings experienced true sunlight for the first time in their lives, and they gazed in fascination at the legendary brightness.
Light, bathed the entire world.
“The Heavenly Terror ‘Eye of Darkness’ has disappeared, and Heavenly Dao has returned to normal.” A powerful cultivator comprehending the Heavenly Dao said excitedly.
“Although the seven Apocalyptic Terrors still exist, under the sunlight, their territories have shrunk dramatically.”
“Haha, the world has changed, it has changed.”
…
The treasure land ‘Infinite Space.’
“Hmm, using the Lieu Yuan Technique with the ultimate will of a Divine King, I can finally kill the weakest mind creatures.” Luo Feng was quite satisfied as he watched the blood-red, one-eyed monster in front of him completely disintegrate.
Mind creatures, once their mind was destroyed, disappeared entirely.
Luo Feng’s total reward points from defeating this mind creature had now reached 10 points! If he had only wounded and repelled it, the accumulated reward points would typically have just exceeded 5 points.
“These mind creatures in Infinite Space… their mental will can actually reach the Divine King level! I wonder where Yuan obtained these mind creatures when he established this treasure land.” Luo Feng pondered.
There wasn’t a single mind creature on Origin Continent.
“According to the information, experts with the ultimate will of a Divine King have a chance to completely kill them.” Luo Feng thought, “It seems that those experts… also obtained rather powerful will-related secret techniques.”
In the treasury of Infinite Space alone, there were inheritances that contained will secret techniques. These inheritances might not be on par with the Lieu Yuan Technique, but the gap was clearly narrowing.
“As my strength grows, the level of beings I encounter increases.”
“Maybe I’ll come across a will secret technique on par with the Lieu Yuan Technique.” Luo Feng thought to himself.
Looking at the inheritances in the Infinite Space treasury, for instance, the special inheritance “World Life Form” was created by Yuan’s friend! What about the perfect-level inheritances? If such an inheritance specialized in the ‘will’ direction, how powerful would it be?
“The Lieu Yuan Technique is ultimately just one of the many opportunities Yuan left behind on Origin Continent.” Luo Feng also reminded himself not to grow arrogant.
For example, Emperor Ming, who gifted him the Tribulation Beast Diagram, hidden within it were methods for cultivating willpower—those were secret techniques created by Emperor Ming himself.
Luo Feng felt that they were not inferior to the Great Destruction Heart Refining Technique within the Lieu Yuan Technique. Of course, the power of the Great Destruction Heart Refining Technique also depended on Luo Feng’s mastery of the Origin Path of Destruction.
“I’ve already dealt with two of the weaker mind creatures in Infinite Space, leaving only the strongest one.” Luo Feng thought, “It’s time to search for new mind creatures.”
Luo Feng left behind one of his avatars to guard the strongest mind creature. This powerful mind creature was not something Luo Feng could eliminate—he estimated that it would take long-term battles to deal with it.
Luo Feng sent out nine avatars, flying off in all directions to some remote places, exploring and searching for new prey.
******
“Luo He, leave immediately.”
“This is our territory.”
Invisible mental waves sent out warning after warning.
In Infinite Space, areas rich in prey had long been occupied by ancient beings. Although they could recognize Luo He the Great Sage, they didn’t care in the slightest.
“The number one in the Chaos Realm, Luo He, has no influence here.” Luo Feng, flying along, also laughed at himself.
In reality, Luo Feng held a very high status, and many powerful beings would give him face.
But in Infinite Space, a treasure land left behind by Yuan, the threshold for entry was too high!
Except for the Divine Kings of the two great royal families, most who could come here were dominant figures on Origin Continent! After all, someone like ‘Wuxiang Laozu,’ with Divine King first-realm peak strength, had already struggled to obtain a spot.
As for those even weaker?
Only the two great royal families would allow Chaos Realm Transcendents or ordinary Divine Kings to enter! But as members of the royal families, they always gathered in groups for protection and formed the strongest force in Infinite Space.
“Infinite Space has sealed off nineteen of the Origin Paths, so using Divine King-level moves here requires the opening of a new path.” Luo Feng thought.
Even the Emperors and Monarchs, if they hadn’t opened a new path, would have relatively weak strength here, relying only on their mental will to fight.
This was also why Wuxiang Laozu was so confident when facing Luo Feng.
In Infinite Space, being able to use Divine King-level secret techniques already made one a master.
Opening a complete path branch? That would make one a top expert.
Opening a path to the second realm of the Divine King? Luo Feng had never even heard of such a thing! At least, Emperor Chu’s information didn’t mention it.
“Luo He?”
Suddenly, a mental wave touched Luo Feng.
Luo Feng glanced over and saw an elderly man in a loose white robe in the distance.
“Wuxiu Divine King.” Luo Feng recognized him. He was a Divine King from the Emperor Wu lineage of the Ancient Flame Kingdom, considered extremely strong among first-realm Divine Kings.
“I didn’t expect to see Luo He the Great Sage here.” Wuxiu Divine King looked at Luo Feng and smiled, “Normally, my Ancient Flame Kingdom wouldn’t give you a spot, so how did you get in?”
“I didn’t get it from the Ancient Flame Kingdom.” Luo Feng said.
“I know, I’m asking… where did your spot come from?” Wuxiu Divine King asked, “Or did Emperor Chu intentionally bend the rules and secretly give you a token to pass on to you?”
“Are you slandering my master?” Luo Feng’s expression darkened.
“Everyone knows how Emperor Chu operates.” Wuxiu Divine King sneered.
“Hmph.” Luo Feng no longer showed any kindness.
With such provocation towards his master, how could Luo Feng show any goodwill?

Moreover, the Emperor Wu and Emperor Chu lineages had a terrible relationship, with conflicts happening frequently, and countless grievances had accumulated over the long years.
“Wuxiu, my friend.” From afar, a figure flew over, it was a gray-robed, white-haired man. The white-haired man glanced at Luo Feng, “So
it’s Luo He.”
“Luo He, leave at once, this is the royal family’s territory, not a place for you.” The white-haired man rebuked.
“Yanqu Divine King.” Luo Feng recognized him and said nothing more, turning to fly away.
Yanqu Divine King, a second-realm Divine King! In the royal family of the Ancient Flame Kingdom, he was part of the core group. Naturally, he had the right to act without restraint, even towards the rulers of other worlds, or the beasts of the Heavenly Wood Kingdom, he probably wouldn’t care in the slightest.
“No wonder Master advised me, unless the Flame Wind Ancestor personally invited me, there’s no need to join the Ancient Flame Kingdom.” Luo Feng sighed inwardly, “Only a few are truly kind to outsiders.”
The Divine Kings of the royal family banded together, seizing most of the resources, leaving only scraps for the guest Divine Kings who worked so hard—Luo Feng could understand this.
But the feeling of being discriminated against, of being rejected, was indeed quite unpleasant for Luo Feng.
And this was without fully joining them!
If he had fully joined, the restrictions would increase greatly. He would be at the beck and call of these royal family Divine Kings, becoming their lackey.
“There’s no need to pay much attention to Luo He.” The white-haired Yanqu Divine King glanced at the distant Luo Feng, “Even if he becomes a Divine King, he’s just invincible within the first realm of Divine Kings. He poses no threat to us, the royal family.”
“I’m suspicious about how he got his spot.” Wuxiu Divine King said, “As a Chaos Realm Transcendent, it’s impossible for him to have fifty million merit points. So how did he get the spot? I suspect that Emperor Chu manipulated a token and gave it to Luo He.”
“Oh?”
The white-haired Yanqu Divine King’s expression changed slightly, “That’s quite possible, Emperor Chu has indeed acted recklessly at times. As a member of the royal family, instead of prioritizing the royal family’s interests, he often helps those outside the family!”
“I will question the Emperor about this matter and investigate thoroughly.” Yanqu Divine King’s eyes gleamed coldly, “We must find out exactly how he got his spot! If it turns out that Emperor Chu gave it to him secretly, he won’t be let off lightly.”
Yanqu Divine King’s eyes were filled with coldness.
He had become a Divine King long before Emperor Chu.
Emperor Chu and Emperor Yanqu had clashed many times, and as the second only to Emperor Yan in the Emperor Yan lineage, Yanqu Divine King was always eager to engage in conflict with Emperor Chu.
If he discovered any mistake on Emperor Chu’s part, Yanqu Divine King would certainly pursue it relentlessly.
“If it’s proven…”
Wuxiu Divine King was looking forward to it.
“This is a rule set by the Ancestor, even if Emperor Chu makes a mistake, he’ll have to be punished. As for Luo He? He’ll first be expelled from Infinite Space, his opportunity will be stripped from him, and he’ll be severely punished as well.” Yanqu Divine King said, “A Chaos Realm guest being allowed in here is a joke.”
