Chapter 1087 - 347: Unlocking the Life Origin

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Lingfeng’s steps grew increasingly swift.

The glow before him became more brilliant.

The deathly aura surrounding him was gradually dispelled.

He saw the light, saw the mountains and rivers, saw the sun and moon, saw Sirius, saw the Ancient Blue Star, saw the entire Black Water Star Realm, and felt each life pulse emanating from within the Black Water Star Realm.

It was precisely the pure life pulse that lit up his death passage, forming a brand-new life passage, allowing him to emerge from Shen Rufeng’s tribulation.

"It’s the Black Water Star Domain Life."

"They haven’t abandoned me."

Zhang Lingfeng was teary-eyed.

When he was consumed by endless death aura and fell into despair, he had once regretted his actions, feeling it wasn’t worth it.

Only now did he realize that the Black Water Star Domain Life hadn’t abandoned or forgotten him.

The life he protected was also fiercely protecting him.

The two complemented each other, closely intertwined; he couldn’t part from the Black Water Star Domain, and the Black Water Star Domain Life couldn’t part from him either.

It was this mutual dependency that took them farther and even broke the Heavenly Dao’s balance, forming a new life passage, illuminating Zhang Lingfeng’s path and helping him emerge from Shen Rufeng’s tribulation.

No.

This was Zhang Lingfeng’s own tribulation.

To counter Shen Rufeng’s tribulation for the Black Water Star Domain Life was indeed Zhang Lingfeng’s own tribulation—to emerge from the life and death tribulation, within the Heavenly Dao’s laws, he had successfully crossed the celestial tribulation.

From a Great Cultivator at the Integration Stage, he had transformed into a Tribulation Crossing Immortal.

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Lingfeng employed the Space Law, swiftly changing positions to draw closer to that life radiance, surrounded by its fiery life-force.

The lost laws, the lost life, the lost star power, at this moment, all returned to Zhang Lingfeng, and he felt his own power transforming, a new force seemingly swelling from his heart.

Meanwhile, ahead, the life radiance seemed to coalesce into a droplet, becoming a suffocating force within this tribulation.

The phrase "Life Origin Power" involuntarily surfaced in Zhang Lingfeng’s mind.

"Whoosh"

He approached rapidly.

Desiring to grasp this force.

Suddenly, a black figure darted out, appearing insane, as if having lost all rationality.

"Zhang Lingfeng, why aren’t you dead yet?"

Shen Rufeng looked like a skeletal ghost, covered in turbid, viscous liquid, his life dissipating. It was difficult enough to see a point of light, only to discover it emanated from Zhang Lingfeng.

Why had Zhang Lingfeng’s aura become so powerful?

Why was he unaffected by the life and death tribulation, still lively before him?

Zhang Lingfeng glanced at that life radiance—or, more accurately, the life essence power it encompassed—and realized Shen Rufeng seemed unable to see it.

Though capable of seeing his own figure, he was still swallowed by death, failing to find his own life passage.

Indeed.

He had successfully found his own life passage through the guidance of the Black Water Star Domain Life, who even banded together to forge this life passage for him.

Only those who wholeheartedly protected the Black Water Star Domain Life would earn the favor of the Black Water Star Domain Life and comprehend the secrets of life essence.

Shen Rufeng, scheming tirelessly to use laws to strip life’s qi fortune and strengthen himself, even plotting to annihilate the Black Water Star Domain Life, could never discover his own life passage amidst endless death.

"You look truly pitiful."

Zhang Lingfeng felt wistful.

Once the ruler who established laws for the Black Water Star Domain Life, revered by many, had fallen to this state.

"You destroyed me; I don’t need your pity! Not at all!"

Shen Rufeng roared.

Yet, having lost nearly all power, enveloped by death, his voice was raspy, and his teeth had long fallen out.

He had desperately, using all his strength, managed to reach Zhang Lingfeng.

"I’m leaving now; thank you for helping me successfully overcome my own life and death tribulation, binding me closely with the Black Water Star Domain Life, and even discovering my own life origin."

Zhang Lingfeng expressed gratitude.

At this moment, he could dispel Shen Rufeng with just a finger, yet he chose not to. Even if he did, Shen Rufeng would simply be engulfed by the death surrounding him.

"What did you say, life origin?"

"Zhang Lingfeng, I was wrong! Please, take me out of here; I was wrong. I can become a servant and eternally pledge allegiance to you. I can betray the Shen Family and reveal all the Shen Family’s secrets to you, helping you gain the Shen Family’s world seed."

"Zhang Lingfeng, take me out of here!"

Shen Rufeng had broken down.

Realizing not only had he failed to eliminate Zhang Lingfeng, but he had also made Zhang Lingfeng even stronger.

Under the shroud of death, he had long lost any feelings for the Shen Family.

After enduring this prolonged torment, his mindset had already warped; thoughts of restoring and uplifting the Shen Family had been cast aside.

If he could leave this place and survive the tribulation, Shen Rufeng was willing to sacrifice everything he had, including the Shen Family’s most vital world seed.

"The Black Water Star Realm is my world, and the life upon it is the seed. I don’t need the Shen Family’s world seed, nor do I covet any other world seed.

Forget it, speaking of these things is something you won’t understand.

A person whose sole focus is to destroy life will never be favored by life, nor can they overcome the life and death tribulation."

Zhang Lingfeng shook his head.

The mention of the world seed did not pertain to him.

Yet Shen Rufeng’s condition truly invoked sympathy and discomfort in Zhang Lingfeng, filled with compassion, refusing to kick him when he’s down, thus he turned and stepped into his life passage.

Grasping that life origin power.

Swiftly disappearing from Shen Rufeng’s sight.

"No, Zhang Lingfeng, don’t go, come back!"

Shen Rufeng lay on the ground, crying.

The aged body, covered by the turbid and viscous death power, felt, with Zhang Lingfeng’s departure, that the only ray of light in his life had utterly vanished before his eyes.

"You are my..."

At this moment, Shen Rufeng widened his eyes; he finally realized that the reason he could witness life radiance from Zhang Lingfeng was that Zhang Lingfeng was his life passage.

But having resolved to destroy Zhang Lingfeng, driving Zhang Lingfeng to perish in this tribulation, how could he gain power from Zhang Lingfeng and pass through this tribulation?

This is reincarnation, karmic retribution.

When Zhang Lingfeng, under his pressure, voluntarily entered his tribulation, he lost the chance to overcome the life and death tribulation, sealing his own life passage.

Regrettably, Shen Rufeng’s epiphany came too late.

His silhouette was swiftly devoured by the turbid, viscous death force, eternally erasing him from history’s long river, truly obliterating both body and soul without reincarnation.

"Crack!"

Finally, the life plaque Shen Junsong wore, representing him, shattered into pieces, announcing that a generation’s formidable ruler had fallen.

"Ahhh, Rufeng!"

Shen Junsong cried in agony.

Shen Qiao’an was dead, Shen Rufeng was dead, and how could the Shen Family continue to protect the world seed!
