Chapter 926 Seven Lords, A Dark Future

Chapter 926 Seven Lords, A Dark Future
The boundless primordial space, the boundary of the cultivator's territory!

The once prosperous world cluster has now become dilapidated.

The Holy Realm, located at the core of the world cluster and built by the lord, is like an egg that has been mostly eaten, leaving only a few remnants, with some debris still floating in the infinite primordial space.

These ruins seem to be an invisible mockery of something.

A world cluster, centered on the holy realm created by the lords, surrounded by countless source worlds and billions of worlds.

Each source world has its own rules, and many places are not suitable for pursuing higher levels of power. The holy realm created by the lords not only does not exclude outsiders, but also does not impose too many restrictions on power.

At this moment, the entire world cluster has completely fallen, the Holy Realm has been destroyed, and a large number of source worlds have been devoured.

Even if a small number of source worlds are not eaten, life is completely wiped out, and they enter the cycle of reincarnation ahead of time to repair themselves.

Five terrifying figures stood in the vast, boundless primordial space.

Each of these people has mastered the highest level of the Dao in the endless primordial space, comprehended the essence of power, and is an immortal being, thus possessing their own place in the Eternal Land.

But at this moment, the five tall figures all showed expressions of anger.

"These naturally born Chaos creatures really know how to eat!"

A lord named Jin, clad in silver scales, with twelve sharp horns on his head and a long scaled tail behind him, looked at the destroyed Holy Realm and sneered.

"It's because the Holy Realm we created is still inferior to the Origin World nurtured by the Chaos Origin Space. The naturally born Chaos Origin beings don't even bother to eat it," sighed Lord Naigu, who had dark blue skin.

“This time, a total of 75 Hunyuan ancestors joined forces to deal with the seven of us, and we could only passively fight back.”

"Even if the seven of us can withstand the combined attack of the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos, we still cannot stop the army of life forms that were born to unite like that."

"The Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan has restrained us, and his massive army is attacking the world cluster at will. Even if we are repelled, a large number of their Origin Worlds will fall into enemy hands."

"Although we are immortal, these source worlds cannot be. If this continues, we will surely lose this war."

“No, the Origin World is also immortal. No matter how much is destroyed, the endless Chaos Space will still give birth to new Origin Worlds, and we can also create countless new worlds.” Moman, who was wearing a black cloak and looked like a tall, thin man, smiled.

“We can afford these losses. If we keep fighting like this, it won’t be us who can’t take it, but those naturally born chaotic beings.”

"That's right!"

Lord Jin exclaimed, "Those Primordial Chaos Ancestors who want to devour our World Cluster also need to exchange their lives. Several Primordial Chaos Lords have died in a single war. Let's see how long they can hold out."

“These Primordial Ancestors are not like us; each of them is an immortal being.”

"We are seven immortal beings. Any force that dares to provoke us will pay a heavy price."

Immortal beings are almost an unsolvable problem in the current infinite primordial space.

"But we can't just stand by and watch the world clusters be destroyed like this." Lord Minghuang frowned and said, "These are all our territories, and each world cluster has cost us a lot of effort."

The lords of those world groups that have been ruled for a long time are not aloof and indifferent to the world. On the contrary, they leave traces in many source worlds and sometimes even personally send avatars to guard them.

Some lords prefer a subtle and gradual influence, while others will even exert substantial control over these source worlds.

While not every lord is as great as a saint, even a tyrant would not allow his territory to be invaded by outsiders.

"If we want to repel them, we can only try to kill a few more of the Primordial Chaos Ancestors." Lord Jin's face was filled with anger, as well as a desire for war and destruction.

"It's going to be very difficult. This time, the Primordial Chaos Life Faction has united more than 80% of the Primordial Chaos Ancestors, and there are an astonishing 93 Ancestors participating in the battle. Even if we take this opportunity to kill three of them, there will still be 90 left."

Lord Naigu shook his head. As an immortal being, he wasn't afraid, but he was pessimistic about the outcome of the war.

“These Primordial Ancestors were very clever. They did not attack all at once, but instead allowed the Primordial Ancestors without immortality to take turns recuperating.”

"Furthermore, they are already familiar with our abilities. In the next war, we probably won't even be able to kill a single Primordial Ancestor."

The biggest difference between Lord-level and Progenitor-level beings is their immortality, not their strength.

Some progenitors were as powerful as lords, or even stronger than some lords, but because they did not have the ability to be immortal, they could be killed and therefore could not be ranked in the Eternal Land.

Among them, the cultivator lords, having comprehended the essence of the Dao, not only possess the characteristic of immortality and indestructibility, but also have no weaknesses in their own strength.

Therefore, it was able to withstand the Hunyuan Ancestor, who was ten times its size, by virtue of its dual characteristics, and even kill the Ancestor during the battle.

However, the lord and the progenitor are still on the same level in terms of power, and it is not an easy task for the lord to kill the progenitor.

It was precisely because of the chaotic battle that the seven lords, relying on their respective realms and cooperating with each other, were able to easily kill the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos.

If you encounter one of them alone, even the strongest Star Lord wouldn't be absolutely certain of killing a Primordial Ancestor. If you can't beat them, can't you just run away?
Each one of them is a terrifying life form comparable to the source world, with a very high amount of health.

Many of the fallen Primordial Ancestors perished because their injuries kept piling up. They thought they could withstand it, but they were detonated by the Lord and died in frustration.

With experience, they could retreat in time if they noticed something was wrong with the injury, and with their superior numbers, the lords had no choice but to retreat.

Just as the five lords were discussing the matter, a voice appeared out of nowhere, bringing yet another piece of bad news.

"Although we killed some of the Hunyuan progenitors, the Hunyuan beings born from these wars were also tempered."

“Those world-class Chaos Origin beings who are born into the Chaos Origin life camp should give birth to several new Chaos Origin Ancestors because they have devoured too much of the Origin World’s origin.” The Star Lord appeared among the crowd.

"If the war continues and we cannot continue to kill the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan, we will face more and more enemies."

The Origin of the World is the most coveted delicacy among the naturally born Chaotic Origin life forms. It is essentially comparable to the Chaotic Origin Ancestor, and both were nurtured by the infinite Chaotic Origin space, sharing a similar essence.

Therefore, by consuming too many world-class Hunyuan beings, there is a slight possibility of breaking through to the level of the Hunyuan progenitor.

The Origin World can also be seen as the naturally primordial ancestor.

This means that each time a naturally primordial being devours a source world, it is no less than devouring a primordial ancestor with all attributes.

Such talent is something that no other force possesses.

"Starlight, you've arrived!"

"Is the spacetime network fixed yet?"

Seeing the starlight appear, the other lords nodded in agreement, and the originally heavy atmosphere eased a little.

Although the lords were reluctant to admit it, Starburst was undoubtedly the most talented and strongest among them, already ahead of all the other lords.

With his innate talent, he forcibly comprehended the complete Chaos Origin Dao from the semi-Chaotic Origin level, directly becoming a Lord. Such terrifying talent and exaggerated comprehension allowed Xingmang to continue his progress even after becoming a Lord, comprehending a second Chaos Origin Dao and taking the second step in the Lord realm.

Even if the cultivators' camp is defeated, they believe that one day they will be able to fight back. This confidence comes from their talent.

"Yes, I went on a long trip and I've already repaired the damaged spacetime network."

Starlight looked at the damaged Holy Realm and sighed softly.

Even the spacetime network it built based on its understanding of spacetime could not stop the attacks of the Hunyuan Ancestors.

It also serves a similar function to a virtual universe, allowing one to understand the world's situation and facilitating the arrival of his power.

"Starlight, has another new Primordial Ancestor been born?" the lords present asked.

"almost."

Xingmang said calmly. As a lord who attained enlightenment through time and space, his interference with time and space even allowed him to see some aspects of the future that involved lords.

“The next war will only be more difficult,” Naigu said, shaking his head, but he didn’t seem to intend to have Xingmang assassinate him.

The two camps have fought for so long that they've learned pretty much all the tricks of the trade.

The Primordial Ancestors also protected those world-class Chaos Sources who were on the verge of breakthrough very well, so that even Starlight could not assassinate them.

“The primordial beings have always had progenitors, but it’s been so long on our side and there’s still no new lord appearing, wasting a lot of resources,” Moman in black said with dissatisfaction.

"Lord, you can't be made by throwing resources at you. You need to be tempered, and tempered severely."

“I agree. It would be a waste if they couldn’t become lords,” said Lord Jin.

"Haha, we should finish what we start. We've done so much just to increase the chances of some people becoming lords."

Just as everyone was talking, the last lord, Yuan, arrived.

At this point, all seven lords of the cultivator camp had arrived.

The combined power of these seven immortal beings completely shattered the balance of the entire endless primordial space.

"Since we've already started, let's see it through to the end." Yuan looked at everyone and smiled. "These are just experiments. Are you all absolutely certain you can cultivate a lord?"

"I just feel that giving too many resources will only produce a bunch of useless people. We didn't have that many resources back then, but we still became lords, didn't we?" Lord Jin shook his head.

However, he didn't continue to refute Yuan's words, and just took it as another attempt.

The methods for cultivating lords have always been subject to constant experimentation, but now, with the pressure of war, they are also eagerly craving change.

Otherwise, given their immortality, there would be no need to rush, but now it is indeed a bit urgent.

"By the way, Yuan, didn't you and Xingmang connect with a world-class Chaos Origin? How is it going?" Wu Lan asked curiously.

What kind of world-class Chaos Source would require two top lords to personally receive it?

“Hehe, then I’ll have to explain properly.” Yuan smiled and said, “On this trip, Xingmang and I even ran into that old guy, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.”

"The Infinite Serpent clan mobilized ten Primordial Ancestors, but none of them managed to defeat him."

"Ten Primordial Ancestors of Hunyuan?"

The other five lords widened their eyes instantly. Could it be that an eighth lord had appeared, but they hadn't sensed it?

"The Primal Lord always likes to joke; it was thanks to the Source World that we were able to arrive," Starlight quickly explained.

"So it was the Lord of the Origin World!" the five lords said with regret.

If it's done through the source world, then it's indeed possible.

“He was a promising junior of mine, but he accidentally gained control of the Origin World outside our territory, which attracted the attention of the Infinite Serpent Clan. That’s why I brought Starlight along to meet him,” Yuan explained.

"You didn't rely on bloodlines, did you?" Wu Lan asked.

"No!" Yuan shook his head.

“Interesting. We haven’t received any news. They probably haven’t even been to the Land of Beginnings.” As Minghuang spoke, his clone in the Land of Beginnings instantly detected the latest world-class Chaos Origin.

“Yuan, you look a lot like me, Yuan.”

"Take the Land of Beginnings for example, he's never even been to our Holy Realm." Lord Jin chuckled, further confirming his earlier thought, but since the matter was now closed, he had no intention of stirring up trouble again.

The lords also left clones in the original land, and thus also learned of the latest information on the world-class Chaos Origin.

"His talent is indeed remarkable, and his cultivation time is probably not long." Lord Naigu nodded. "Starlight, in the foreseeable future, what are the chances that he will become a lord?"

The future is uncertain, but even the possibilities are extraordinary.

Star Lords observe the future; even if there's only a one in a billion chance of becoming a lord, at least there's that possibility.

If even the stars don't show any possibility of becoming a lord, then all we can do is wait for an infinite amount of time to create a miracle.

Therefore, for world-class Chaos Origin cultivators or those with talent, the lords would occasionally send Starburst to open blind boxes, and sometimes even make some artificial interventions based on the future.

For example, some people who have been stuck in a certain realm for a long time want to refine the Hunyuan bloodline to break free from the cage. However, Xingmang discovered in his observation of the future that there is still a possibility that the other party can succeed without refining the bloodline, so he can let the former try more.

However, the future is uncertain, and Starlight rarely intervenes; it merely records some possibilities as a basis for judgment.

Just like the original land now, Starburst has also seen some world-class individuals who could become lords, and these people will receive special attention.

"For you two to take this so seriously, the chances of you becoming lords must be pretty high," the other lords asked curiously.

"When I first saw him, I tried to observe his future."

Xingmang's eyes became somewhat vacant, and his tone was filled with amazement.

"But all I could see was darkness."
