Chapter 386: Ceasefire （Wishing Success in the College Entrance Examination）
With the help of his two companions, the Gigantic God Emperor had originally restrained Luo Feng. Yet Luo Feng suddenly vanished, transforming into One Hundred and Eight Million Sources. The One Hundred and Eight Million Sources resembled a dazzling cluster of stars, naturally forming a formation.
This was one of the three forbidden techniques Luo Feng had developed based on his own strengths — ‘Source Great Annihilation’.
These three forbidden techniques all required suitable conditions to achieve their best effects. The reason they were called forbidden techniques was because the price paid to unleash them was also immense.
“Weng——”
The One Hundred and Eight Million Sources formed a formation, triggering a chain reaction! In an instant, they transformed into an energy storm capable of destroying everything! The energy storm annihilated space-time — space-time itself was torn into the purest energy under such overwhelming power. Even the abdomen of the Gigantic God Emperor, the part closest to the One Hundred and Eight Million Sources, was instantly torn through. Its massive body was directly split apart.
“Not good!” the Gigantic God Emperor roared in shock and fury.
“Evade!” The dual domains of the Primordial Beast Ancestor and the Black Tide Ancestor were also struck by the endless energy at the very first moment!
Their combined dual domains were indeed formidable, but in the face of absolute power, even the nearest domains were destroyed and annihilated into energy. These energies were absorbed into the storm, making it even more terrifying!
A massive energy storm resembling a radiant jade disc erupted from the abdomen of the Gigantic God Emperor!
It tore through the Gigantic God Emperor’s body, pierced through the dual domains, and, carrying even more terrifying energy, surged in all directions!
“Boom!”
When the power exceeded a certain threshold, a special reaction formed.
The surrounding space-time was instantly annihilated. Within a vast range, everything turned into a blinding sphere of light. Dozens of Ancestors nearby had no time to react before being completely engulfed by the energy storm!
“How could this happen?” The Gigantic God Emperor was both shocked and enraged.
The dual domains of the Primordial Beast Ancestor and the Black Tide Ancestor partially protected the Gigantic God Emperor’s legs and partially protected everything above its chest!
Even at the very center of such a terrifying explosion, under the protection of the extremely powerful dual domains, the Gigantic God Emperor only lost one-third of its body. The remaining parts were preserved and fused together under the protection of the domains.
“Fortunately, I had you two. Otherwise, I would have died this time.” The Gigantic God Emperor still felt lingering fear.
Unlike Luo Feng and Wu Lan, who, as Lords, had bodies they personally created and refined to perfection — reaching the theoretical limit in energy density — the Gigantic God Emperor was different. It was born from the Infinite Space, growing naturally alongside the evolution of its Life Core.
Although its body was enormous and its explosive power ranked among the strongest within the Nine Emperors, its survival ability was far weaker. Its body’s energy density was not as high as that of Wu Lan or Luo Feng. Facing such close-range destructive power, without its two companions, it would indeed have been completely annihilated.
“This Luo Feng actually has such a technique. Even my body has lost nearly ten percent,” said the Primordial Beast Ancestor in shock. Its body was itself the strongest domain in the entire Infinite Space!
“I also lost nearly ten percent,” said the Black Tide Ancestor. Although its domain was on the outermost layer, its losses were comparable.
Having suffered greatly, the three of them became cautious, observing everything around them.
The terrifying power swept across dozens of Ancestors. Their survival abilities were far inferior to the combined strength of the Gigantic God Emperor’s trio. Even those farther away, though slightly less impacted, still suffered greatly.
A total of twenty-six Ancestors were severely injured under the terrifying power.
“Annihilate!”
At this moment, twenty-six incomparably dazzling golden lightning bolts descended!
The Minghuang Lord decisively burned his Main Battle Avatar. The twenty-six terrifying golden lightning strikes were unavoidable and had already struck the twenty-six severely injured Ancestors.
“Ah!”
“No—”
“Help!”
These twenty-six Ancestors were already gravely injured. Minghuang Lord’s full-force attack filled them with terror. The golden lightning could not be evaded. Even though nearby companions attempted to rescue them, the lightning still struck.
Five of the most severely injured Ancestors failed to protect their Life Cores under the lightning. Their Life Cores cracked apart.
These five Ancestors died on the spot!
The remaining twenty-one Ancestors suffered even heavier injuries, falling into panic.
“Retrieve.”
Endless Radiance enveloped them, rescuing them.
However, the corpses of the five fallen Ancestors had already been silently shifted away by space-time.
“Five Ancestors have died?”
The other Ancestors present were stunned, unable to accept what had just happened! In the past, even when Ancestors fell, it was after prolonged battles where the weaker ones perished.
But this time was too sudden! In an instant, twenty-six were heavily injured, and then five died!
The five who died were not the weakest among the Ancestors. They were relatively strong — they had simply been unlucky, being too close to the Gigantic God Emperor’s trio and suffering the brunt of the explosion.
“Unlucky?”
“Too close?”
The Ancestors could not accept this reasoning.
They could accept being eliminated due to weakness in war — but not dying due to bad luck. If it was five this time, would they be next?
“Kill!”
“Cultivator Lords, die!”
“All of you, die!!!”
With five Ancestors dead and twenty-one rescued by the Endless Ancestor, the remaining more than seventy Ancestors were filled with anger — and even a trace of fear. They attacked recklessly.
At this moment, without Wu Lan and Luo Feng, how could the Cultivator Lords’ formation withstand it?
More than seventy Ancestors attacked with full force, and the Gigantic God Emperor’s trio also attacked in fury.
“Space-Time Maze!” Star Light Lord attempted to transfer the incoming power away through space-time manipulation. However, at this moment, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor temporarily ceased suppressing Wu Lan, leaving the Yanhuo Ancestor and the Annihilation Ancestor to restrain him briefly.
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor fully controlled the void, preventing the formation of the Space-Time Maze.
“Rumble——”
Various Supreme-Level Powers intertwined and descended.
“Go!” Star Light Lord burned part of his Main Battle Avatar in an instant. Under the void suppression of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, he forcibly transferred away thirty percent of the incoming power.
“Naigu!” Yuan’s formation also resisted with all its might, shaving off another portion of the power.
Naigu Lord transformed into a colossal being with nine massive heads. His enormous body actively devoured and absorbed all incoming power. As he endured it, his surface shattered, yet rapidly regenerated.
Having mastered multiple Ancestor bloodlines within one body, Naigu Lord possessed comprehensive methods. Before Luo Feng became a Lord, he had always assisted Wu Lan in resisting external power.
But against attacks from over seventy Ancestors, even after multiple layers of weakening, nearly half the power still descended! Within a single breath, Naigu Lord’s body was shattered.
“Hu——”
The Great Annihilation storm formed by Luo Feng’s One Hundred and Eight Million Sources had already spread far and weakened significantly.
Suddenly, the faint power covering an immense range contracted.
In almost the blink of an eye—
Within the Cultivator Lords’ formation, the vast power condensed into a single figure — a Black-Robed, Black-Haired Man.
His massive form stood in front of Naigu Lord, forcibly withstanding the incoming Supreme-Level attacks.
“Naigu, leave it to me,” Luo Feng’s voice sounded.
Naigu, whose body was shattered, looked at Luo Feng and smiled. “In just one breath, I was almost blown apart!”
All eight Lords understood each other’s techniques. They knew that although Luo Feng’s forbidden technique ‘Source Great Annihilation’ unleashed all its destructive power, part of his strength could still recover from the void.
Every fragment of Luo Feng’s energy contained extraordinary spirituality. After the destructive force dissipated, everything reconverged.
“I still have twenty percent energy reserves,” Luo Feng sensed his condition.
After a full release, he could recover about twenty percent.
Although his body appeared intact, the newly formed One Hundred and Eight Million Sources within him were extremely weak. In such a weakened state, their absorption speed of energy was greatly reduced.
The stronger one’s energy reserves, the faster the recovery.
The weaker one was, the slower the recovery.
If it were merely a weak avatar formed by a thought, even after an entire day, it would struggle to recover even one percent of energy.
“My current recovery speed is only one-tenth of my peak,” Luo Feng determined.
However, the Ancestors did not know this.
They only saw that Luo Feng had reappeared, standing in front of Wu Lan and completely blocking the remaining attacks.
“He recovered again?”
“Didn’t he turn into an endless destructive storm? How did he recover?”
The Ancestors were shaken.
“Is there any need to continue this battle?” One Ancestor’s angry voice echoed among them. “This Luo Feng’s strength is a complete mystery. He turned into a destructive storm and five Ancestors died. Who knows what other techniques he has!”
“I can sense his energy — only about twenty percent remains. We can defeat these Lords.”
“And then what? The eight Lords are Undying and Indestructible! Once their Main Battle Avatars recover, they will return!”
“I think there’s no need to continue.”
“Everyone in the Infinite Space knows the real reason for a ceasefire — a new Lord has appeared! Even if we win and then stop, it has little meaning.”
“For the sake of pride, are we going to lose more Ancestors?”
Among the Ancestors, many had already opposed the war.
They had only joined because the Nine Emperors were united and over a hundred Ancestors held overwhelming advantage. But now that “bad luck” could lead to death, opposition surged.
“Not good.” The Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the others sensed the rising dissent.
Even some Ancestors who had always followed them now opposed the war.
The deaths of the five Ancestors had been too unjust.
Reaching the Ancestor level was incredibly difficult — under normal circumstances, they were nearly impossible to kill.
“This time, we suffered because we didn’t understand the new Lord Luo Feng,” the Infinite Serpent Ancestor transmitted. “Once we fully understand him and have absolute confidence, we will act again. For now — ceasefire.”
With over thirty Ancestors opposing, it could no longer continue.
Hu——
As the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, the Annihilation Ancestor, and the Yanhuo Ancestor withdrew their suppression, Wu Lan regained freedom and immediately returned to the formation.
“They stopped?”
Yuan, Star Light Lord, Luo Feng, Jin Lord, Wu Lan, Minghuang Lord, Naigu Lord, and Momman Lord all watched carefully. Luo Feng, though weakened, first restored his companions to peak condition.
He himself slowly recovered from twenty percent energy.
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor looked at the troublesome Lords and understood—
With the birth of Luo Feng, their plan to completely destroy the Cultivator Faction’s territory had already failed.
The Cultivator Faction now had deeper foundations and would become their greatest rival.
In the endless future, the conflict would continue until a final victor emerged.
“I didn’t expect that in a war of extermination, you would produce a new Lord,” said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.
“This battle was indeed dangerous,” Yuan nodded. “Without Luo Feng’s breakthrough, we might have lost all territory.”
“In this war, we stop here,” said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor. “Next time, we will decide the victor.”
Yuan nodded. “Next time, we will decide the victor.”
He had confidence — if another Lord emerged in the future, the situation would improve further.
“Withdraw.”
Carried by the Mother of Space-Time with countless claws, the Ancestors all traversed space-time and left.
The eight Lords watched.
“For now, a ceasefire,” Yuan said.
“The Ancestors are overall stronger than us,” said Momman Lord. “Previously, Jin, Minghuang, and I burned our Main Battle Avatars and achieved results. But now they are prepared — our assaults are less effective. It was Luo Feng’s forbidden technique that created this opportunity.”
“Being separated from the formation instead gave me the opportunity,” Luo Feng smiled.
Star Light Lord said, “Absorbing Source World origin or facing death threats can cause Ancestors to evolve. After this war, some of them will likely break through.”
Both sides would improve.
Mastery of Supreme-Level Power was not the limit of the Ancestors. They would continue evolving, reaching the level of beings like the Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the Initial Ancestor — achieving true Undying and Indestructible existence.
“Even if they improve, they still can’t match us cultivators,” Minghuang Lord said confidently.
“Let’s return to the Origin Land and study the Ancestors’ corpses,” Yuan smiled. “No matter what, this war is over.”
“We withstood over a hundred Ancestors. Facing other factions will be easier now,” Wu Lan sighed.
“At least we can relax for a while,” Jin Lord laughed. “Luo Feng, you promised — after the war, you’d explore the Mysterious Place with me.”
“There are still many World Clusters occupied by other factions. Reclaim all territories first, then you two can go,” Yuan said.
“Alright, I’m not in a hurry,” Jin Lord smiled.
Luo Feng asked, “Where are you planning to explore?”
“Destructive Abyss!” Jin Lord said. “I’ve been there many times, but I’ve always lacked a strong partner. I’ll send you the detailed intelligence.”
The eight Lords chatted as they returned to the Origin Land.
