Chaos Evolution

Luo Feng gazed at the Snow Realm Envoy before him, filled with a sense of joy. "This Snow Realm Envoy truly lives up to the reputation of the Snow Realm lineage's mechanical treasures. Remarkable," Luo Feng praised. Though he harbored little fondness for the ancient God-King known as the Snow Realm Progenitor, he had to admit that the Progenitor's mastery of the Life Dao was profound.

According to Luo Feng's master, Zuo Shan Ke, the Snow Realm Progenitor's strength was likely comparable to his own. However, because the Progenitor practiced the Life Dao, his survival capabilities were far superior. Over endless eons, many ancient God-Kings had fallen, yet the Snow Realm Progenitor, despite his countless sins and numerous enemies, had survived and thrived—a testament to his abilities.

"Different original Daos have their own specialties. The Life Dao is indeed the most formidable in terms of survival," Luo Feng thought, having personally witnessed the complete Life Origin Dao and understood its immense power. Even mastering a single branch could allow one to dominate the Origin Continent.

"Are you hesitating because you're afraid?" Liu Yin Yan, who controlled the Snow Realm Envoy, lost his patience. "Let's see just how powerful the strongest Eternal True God really is."

Whoosh!

The Snow Realm Envoy lunged forward, a flash of light enveloping Luo Feng. Normally, such a strike would be enough to corrode an Eternal True God's body and cut off all life within. However, Luo Feng casually swung his blade, the light of the blade flowing like water, perfectly blocking the Snow Realm Envoy's attack and even sending it flying back.

"Hmm?" As the Snow Realm Envoy was sent flying backward, it suddenly changed direction, its speed increasing dramatically.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

It became a blur, repeatedly launching attacks. Luo Feng stood his ground, defending flawlessly against each strike.

"Everyone, retreat to the City Lord's Mansion," a command suddenly echoed in Luo Feng's ears.

He saw the entire army transform into a flowing stream, surging toward the City Lord's Mansion. With the aid of Huyang City's over one hundred major formations and Luo Feng holding off the Snow Realm Envoy, the entire army managed to retreat into the City Lord's Mansion within just a few breaths.

"Brother Luo He, the Marquis ordered the withdrawal," Yue Wu's voice informed him through telepathy.

Luo Feng understood. He had just comprehended the Chaos Law and was at his weakest as a Chaos Realm being! His small universe had only just begun expanding, his True God's heart had yet to transform, and his divine body and power were far from fully developed. He also hadn't had enough time to study and master the Chaos Realm techniques.

Exposing his mastery of the Chaos Law now would be foolish. Liu Yin Marquis wouldn't hesitate to crush Luo Feng.

Just like Blood Cloud before, who, at the moment of life and death, had undergone a bloodline transformation and mastered the Chaos Law! However, aside from some slight improvements in technique, there was no significant enhancement, allowing Luo Feng to easily kill him.

"I need to wait until my Perfect Divine Body reaches its limit in the Chaos Realm before I can truly stand firm in the Chaos Realm," Luo Feng thought.

As he understood it, even beings with the Infinite Divine Body in the Chaos Realm needed to cultivate secret techniques for a long time after breaking through, improving in all aspects without any weaknesses before they could reach the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm, comparable to the Jiujiang Marquis!

With his Perfect Divine Body, Luo Feng should be able to approach the level of the Jiujiang Marquis when fully developed, though still not on par with Liu Yin Marquis.

But for now? Attempting to confront Liu Yin Marquis would be suicidal.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, the Jiujiang Marquis's divine power incarnation appeared, hosting a banquet to honor the core members of his army. Over a hundred Eternal True Gods gathered in the grand hall, seated in order of precedence. Luo Feng and Yue Wu sat on either side of the Jiujiang Marquis.

"You've all worked hard in this battle," the Jiujiang Marquis said, "but with the Snow Realm Envoy's appearance, even if we were to scrape out a victory, perhaps only two or three-tenths of the Eternal True Gods here would survive."

The gathered Eternal True Gods agreed. They had all seen the situation clearly: with the Snow Realm Envoy entangling Luo Feng, continuing the fight could lead to defeat. Even if they won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.

"A costly victory would just invite another attack from Liu Yin Marquis's forces," the Jiujiang Marquis continued, looking at his subordinates. "And you are the only army I have. There's no need to waste you on them."

Luo Feng agreed. Liu Yin Marquis wouldn't care about the casualties of the Heart Shadow Sect, but the Jiujiang Marquis valued his army!

The 3,000-plus Eternal True Gods were nearly all of the Jiujiang Marquis's forces. A war of attrition? He wouldn't entertain the idea.

"To win, we need a decisive victory," the Jiujiang Marquis said, looking at them. "A victory with countless deaths is not what I want."

"Thank you, Marquis," many of the Eternal True Gods expressed their gratitude, deeply moved.

Luo Feng, Yue Wu, and a few others were confident they could survive the battlefield, but the other Eternal True Gods faced the constant risk of death. Against the Snow Realm Envoy, they would die instantly. The Jiujiang Marquis's concern for their lives, his unwillingness to see them wasted, naturally endeared him to his followers.

"A long ceasefire lies ahead," the Jiujiang Marquis announced. "I'll find a way to bring in more reinforcements."

As he looked at the group, including Luo Feng and Morosa, Yue Wu, Yong Hu, and others, the Jiujiang Marquis was troubled. "I've already invited such powerful Eternal True Gods. How many more can I invite?"

"And the fact that Liu Yin Marquis could summon a Snow Realm Envoy means the 'Snow Realm Progenitor' is willing to help him," the Jiujiang Marquis understood the significance of the Snow Realm Envoy's appearance.

The Snow Realm Envoy's name alone suggested that it represented the Snow Realm Progenitor to some extent. Without the Progenitor's approval, this Snow Realm Envoy could not have participated in the battle.

"With one Snow Realm Envoy, Liu Yin Marquis could pay a price to summon two, three, or even more Snow Realm Envoys," the Jiujiang Marquis knew this.

There were a total of thirty-six Snow Realm Envoys. They were among the strongest forces the Snow Realm Progenitor could mobilize. As for the more than ten Chaos Masters under the Progenitor, they were primarily interested in the Progenitor's ability to significantly enhance their survival capabilities, and wouldn't easily be moved to action.

"I'd heard that Liu Yin Marquis and the Snow Realm Progenitor were close, even letting his children become the Progenitor's disciples," the Jiujiang Marquis shook his head. "But I didn't expect the Snow Realm Progenitor to support him this much."

Many ancient beings were reluctant to intervene in other nations' wars, but the Snow Realm Progenitor was notoriously ruthless and reckless, so his involvement wasn't surprising.

"A battle between Eternal-level beings—I fear I cannot win," the Jiujiang Marquis thought to himself. "I'll have to take the field personally!"

A clash at the Chaos Realm level would be far more brutal!

"Just me isn't enough; I'll need help," the Jiujiang Marquis decided. The cost of asking a Chaos Master for help was high, but he had no other choice.

The escalation of a conflict was something both sides wished to avoid. Once it escalated, the weaker side would seek help, and soon there could be a multi-sided battle between Chaos Masters.

In the Primordial Universe region, within Luo Feng's small universe.

Rumble~~

At the center of the small universe, which had a diameter of hundreds of billions of light-years, was a special origin space, now collapsing in on itself. Within, chaos energy appeared, along with the tangible manifestation of Chaos Law.

This place was like a chaotic layer of space.

"When I initially built this small universe, I structured it using the 'One Origin' framework, allowing it to evolve naturally afterward," Luo Feng's divine power incarnation stood within the universe's origin space, watching the surrounding chaos energy surge. "My framework was quite refined, and it naturally evolved into a chaotic origin space."

The evolution of a small universe begins with establishing its framework, followed by natural growth.

If the initial framework is weak, the small universe will be relatively small.

If the framework has significant flaws, the small universe might reach a certain stage of evolution and then stop growing. This was a rare situation, as those who walked the path of law to become True Gods rarely encountered this issue.

As for those who followed the path of bloodline, their small universe was determined by their bloodline. While their potential wasn't as high as those on the path of law, they didn't have fatal flaws.

"What's happening?"

"What is this…"

Within Luo Feng's small universe lived countless humans, some of whom, including Universe Masters and True Gods, sensed the changes in the small universe.

"Hm?" The Rampaging Demon God arrived at the edge of what had once been the small universe's territory, seeing beyond it an endless expansion of chaos.

"Chaos energy is appearing outside, just like the chaos energy in the Universe Sea," the Rampaging Demon God marveled. "Is the Milky Way Lord's small universe expanding again?"

At that moment, many True Gods gathered outside the Milky Way Universe.

"The Milky Way Lord's small universe is expanding."

"From a diameter of hundreds of billions of light-years, it's growing even larger?"

"The Milky Way Lord is becoming more and more terrifying."

The powerful beings of the human race and other forces within the Universe Sea were awestruck.

The Milky Way Lord, Luo Feng, had long been unrivaled in the Primordial Universe region. Faced with yet another advancement from this invincible being, the powerhouses of all races naturally accepted it.

"Luo Feng, how large will your small universe become this time?"

At that moment, Luo Feng's family arrived outside the small universe in a boat to observe the changes. Xu Xin, Luo Ping, Luo Hai, his brother Luo Hua, his father Luo Hongguo, and his mother Gong Xinlan all watched in awe.

"It will probably reach a trillion light-years," Luo Feng said.

"The last time it reached hundreds of billions of light-years, you then ventured into the Reincarnation Cycle," Xu Xin asked, "This breakthrough, how significant is it for you?"

"Very significant," Luo Feng smiled and nodded.

Becoming a Chaos Realm being marked his entry into the upper echelons of the Origin Continent. After all, ancient God-Kings were exceedingly rare, and a single God-King could establish a nation. Hence, many key matters on the Origin Continent were handled by Chaos Realm beings.

Even within the two great ancient nations, Chaos Realm beings were quite important! In the Imperial Chu lineage of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's royal family, Chaos Realm beings could even serve as guest officials.

For such a proud royal lineage to acknowledge someone as a guest official indicated the status of a Chaos Realm being.

"At least I'm no longer just cannon fodder," Luo Feng mused. Eternal True Gods were indeed mere cannon fodder in the eyes of the upper echelons.

As the powerhouses of the Universe Sea, including Luo Feng's teacher, Chaos City Lord, Zhen Yan, Hong, and Lei Shen observed, Luo Feng's small universe expanded at an astonishing rate.

After five years, the expansion of the small universe finally stopped, reaching a diameter of one trillion light-years.

A small universe of this size was not far behind the Primordial Universe itself.
