Emperor Qing asked, “Brother Luo Feng, when we go hunting together, we need to cooperate with each other. Therefore, we should understand what each of us is good at. I walk the path of space, and I am most skilled at sword arrays, using them to trap and kill enemies.”
“I specialize in close-combat fighting,” Luo Feng said.
The Great Dao of Life and Death inherently involves the transformation between life and death, suited for combat.
The ‘Great Dao of Life and Death’ at the Ultimate Realm is enough to be on par with the early stage of a Divine Emperor on an ordinary path. Just with the Life and Death Dao alone, Luo Feng could compare to an early stage Divine Emperor The Enlightened. Not to mention he also has five powerful avatars.
Even The Enlightened at the early stage of Divine Emperor who focus on Body Refinement might have strong physical bodies, but it’s hard for them to have such special talents like those five.
“Hahaha, excellent! I’ll set up the formation, and you focus on close-quarter combat; we’re a perfect pair,” Emperor Qing said joyfully. Among cultivators, only a few are willing to engage in close combat, especially since the targets are Innate Primordial Life Forms.
Which of those Innate Primordial Life Forms isn’t formidable in vitality and gifted in talents?
“However, I still lack a suitable weapon,” Luo Feng mentioned.
“Let’s go, I’ll accompany you,” Emperor Qing, all prepared, was ready to lend some Primordial Crystals to Luo Feng if needed.
A short time later.
Luo Feng and Emperor Qing arrived at a merchant’s place in the Inner City of Yulan City. Luo Feng had visited the whole city upon his arrival at Yulan City and had a clear understanding of the Weapon Secret Treasures there.
“These gloves.” Luo Feng set his eyes on a pair of black gloves.
“These gloves were made by Dao Lord Waning Moon in his early years, containing the mysteriousness of both life and destruction paths. The combination of life and death is terrifying,” an attendant said with a smile, “Now, Dao Lord Waning Moon is one of the pinnacle existences in the Dark Sacred Realm, having pushed both the life and destruction paths to the Half-step Primordial level.”
Luo Feng had heard of him before.
A very dreadful The Enlightened, both paths reaching the Half-step Primordial level. Much stronger than the Ancestors of the two kingdoms.
“What’s the price?” asked Emperor Qing, eagerly.
“A hundred and fifty thousand Primordial Crystals,” the attendant replied with a smile.
“Make it cheaper,” Luo Feng bargained.
Except for a few items with fixed pricing, many treasures in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm could be bargained for. The gloves were quite powerful, but the target audience was too small, appealing only to those like Luo Feng who practiced both life and destruction paths.
“I will go ask the Hall Master,” seeing Luo Feng’s intention to buy, the attendant immediately went to report. The Hall Master himself came to negotiate.
After some negotiations, the final deal was made for ninety-eight thousand Primordial Crystals.
Luo Feng happily received the set of gloves.
These gloves were personally crafted by Dao Lord Waning Moon for his disciple when his mastery in both life and destruction paths were at the ‘late stage of Divine Emperor.’ At that time, Dao Lord Waning Moon also held a high position in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm.
One should know that reaching the late stage of Divine Emperor in a single path, one could hope to become an Elder in the Elder Hall of Yulan City.
Dao Lord Waning Moon was an Elder in the Elder Hall, but in terms of strength, he was almost at the level of the Hall Master.
“What a treasure.” Receiving this pair of gloves and fusing them with a thought, experiencing the combined mysteries of life and death within, Luo Feng could not put them down.
“Treasures from the late stage of Divine Emperor are generally not priced too high. But if it’s at the Perfection of Divine Emperor, even the cheapest would cost over a million Primordial Crystals,” Emperor Qing said laughing on the side, “These gloves, you got them for a good deal.”
Luo Feng nodded.
The last time he spent over a hundred and ninety thousand Primordial Crystals on resources, and this time another ninety-eight thousand on a Secret Treasure, leaving him with not much more.
…
Inside the Cave Mansion.
“Emperor Ming, are you really planning to go hunting?” Di Fu looked at Emperor Ming.
“It’s been so long since I arrived at Yulan City, and I’ve gotten to know many Bloodline Cultivators who practice Primordial Bloodline,” Emperor Ming nodded, “There are many, many who have reached the early stage of Divine Emperor thanks to the Primordial Bloodline in Yulan City.”
“The real Hunting Teams wouldn’t look up to us, so we have to form our own team.”
“The joint efforts of dozens of Bloodline Cultivators at the early stage of Divine Emperor still have the hope to kill the weakest Low-Level Primordial Life,” Emperor Ming said.
“It could also lead to death,” Di Fu remarked, looking at his companion.
Emperor Ming smiled lightly, “Don’t worry.”
He also had a secret. Although he didn’t have the Clone Technique, thanks to the rewards he received in the area of Spiritual Will in the Infinite Space Treasure Vault, he exchanged treasures for Primogenitor Yan Feng! The items he requested from the Ancestor were for the sake of preserving life, and Primogenitor Yan Feng found two of the most top-notch Life-saving Treasures for him, each of which merged with the soul.
They could be activated when faced with a crisis of death.
Emperor Ming also exchanged for a Life-saving Treasure in the Infinite Space Treasure Vault himself.
He was very clear…
Without the Clone Technique, the importance of preserving life was his first priority. Other aspects could be accumulated slowly.
“There is no retreat on the path of Cultivation,” Emperor Ming’s determination was set, having been in Yulan City for nearly a century, he had observed for a long time. He was sure that the strong who could rise up were almost all those who grew up fighting Low-Level Primordial Life Forms.
“Emperor Ming, if you have decided to go hunting, make sure you choose your companions carefully,” Di Fu reminded.
“Right,” Emperor Ming was aware of the importance of selecting the right companions. Once outside the city, where rules no longer bind them, anything could happen. The reason he had waited until today to go out was that he was patiently searching for suitable companions.
That was also why Emperor Qing was so thrilled when he first discovered the Galaxy Ruler.
A trustworthy companion with sufficient strength is extremely rare.
…
After purchasing the Secret Treasure gloves and familiarizing himself with them for over a hundred days, Luo Feng quietly set off with Emperor Qing, leaving Yulan City.
Outside Yulan City, a black Flying Boat disappeared in a flash, invisible to the naked eye.
On this black Flying Boat were Luo Feng and Emperor Qing. This Flying Boat was Emperor Qing’s strongest one, with extremely powerful concealment abilities.
“With our strengths, our hunting targets are mainly Low-Level Primordial Life Forms at the early stage of Divine Emperor. Although we are not afraid of those at the middle stage of Divine Emperor, it would be difficult to kill them,” Emperor Qing stated.
“It’s hard to accurately judge the strength of Low-Level Primordial Life Forms just by appearances,” Luo Feng expressed his concerns.
“That’s when we have to rely on experience,” Emperor Qing laughed, “We will work together to judge.”
Luo Feng nodded.
“Now that we’ve left the city, we must carefully observe our surroundings,” Emperor Qing reminded. “We need to be cautious of not only the low-level Primordial Life forms, but also other Cultivators.”
“I understand.” Luo Feng’s brow opened the Biomimetic Eye of Destruction, bringing the surrounding billions of kilometers into his observational range, including the traces of space-time left behind in the past.
Breath, space-time traces, fluctuation traces, remnants of will…
Luo Feng meticulously observed in all directions.
Emperor Qing also utilized a Secret Treasure, probing the Void in all directions.
“We’re now approaching one of the Nine Rivers, the ‘Cold Ice River.’ It’s teeming with innumerable low-level Primordial Life forms, and the closer we get, the more likely we are to encounter them,” Emperor Qing explained.
“Most of the low-level Primordial Life are at the early stages of Divine Emperor, accounting for over ninety percent of the total. The stronger ones are much rarer. So, the chances of encountering extremely powerful low-level Primordial Life are still very low,” Emperor Qing said, somewhat relaxed, given his considerable hunting experience.
In the past, Emperor Qing had to be wary of his companions.
But this time, with Luo Feng as his partner, he could relax a lot more.
Both parties have avatars in the Land of Origin, and without an immensely tempting lure, betrayal between them is virtually impossible.
“Hm?”
Laughing and talking along the way, Luo Feng suddenly fell silent, his gaze stretching into the distance.
His brow’s Biomimetic Eye of Destruction had caught sight of a massive creature. It was a huge, winged creature stealthily hiding in the Void, with a pair of sharp claws and wings larger than its body. Its head was triangular with three faces, coldly observing its surroundings.
The scales on its wings were a dead gray, exuding a sense of death just by looking at it.
“A Three-faced Grey Winged Beast,” Luo Feng stated seriously. “Judging by its size, breath, and fluctuations, it should still be at the early levels of Divine Emperor.”
As he spoke, Luo Feng waved his hand, conjuring a phantom map and marking the position of that low-level Primordial creature.
“Oh?” Emperor Qing, driving a black Flying Boat, cautiously approached until he too finally spotted the low-level Primordial creature.
“I also think it’s at the early levels of Divine Emperor,” Emperor Qing judged based on his experience.
“Brother Emperor Qing, let me take the lead and try,” Luo Feng declared, filled with fighting spirit. “I haven’t yet crossed hands with a low-level Primordial Life.”
Emperor Qing nodded and smiled. “Alright, if you can’t handle it, then I’ll step in.”
He could also use this fight to gauge Luo Feng’s strength.
Suddenly, Luo Feng donned a white robe – an item transformed from his Heavenly Light Avatar! Among the five Avatars, the Heavenly Light Avatar was the most tenacious, using it as armor was more suitable than purchasing a piece of Secret Treasure Armor.
Secret Treasure Armors can recover after minor damage. However, once severely damaged and the Secret Patterns are destroyed, restoration becomes difficult.
But a robe formed from the Heavenly Light Avatar can swiftly recover even if it is gravely damaged, as energy circulates.
“Let’s go!”
With a thought, Luo Feng instantly entered the future timeline.
There are quite a few Cultivators who can enter the past timeline. It’s much rarer to be able to enter the future timeline, an ability of the Time Avatar.
“Brother Luo Feng can walk along other timelines?” Emperor Qing inwardly exclaimed as he watched the scene.
…
Hidden in the Void, the Three-faced Grey Winged Beast with its three cold faces observed in all directions, its slender tail moving slowly like a thread, patiently waiting.
It knew that often there would be Cultivators approaching the direction of the ‘Cold Ice River,’ providing it with opportunities to launch surprise attacks.
“Devouring Cultivators.” It yearned for that.
Devouring more would earn it rewards from heaven and earth, making it even stronger.
Perhaps one day, it could even leave this world.
“Boom—”
Suddenly, a colossal projection of a world descended, suppressing the Three-faced Grey Winged Beast beneath it.
Cultivators’ insights enhance their Spiritual Will. The likes of Emperor Qing and the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms only had their Spiritual Will evolve to the Divine Emperor Stage after reaching the Ultimate Realm.
Luo Feng’s Life, Destruction, and Life and Death… all three Great Daos reached the Ultimate Realm one after another, greatly augmenting his Spiritual Will as well.
Especially the Great Dao of Life and Death brought the greatest help! Now, with Luo Feng’s World Avatar reaching a full three hundred times the Energy Reserve of the Perfect Divine Body, he could easily manage his Spiritual Will.
Naturally, the power of the World Projection was immense!
“Heaven and Earth Unite!”
At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Avatar and the vast surrounding world became one, as if the heavens and earth had turned into a domain under Luo Feng’s control.
Controlling heaven and earth! World Projection! All of it suppressed and bound the Three-faced Grey Winged Beast.
“There’s a Cultivator.” The Three-faced Grey Winged Beast was shocked and angry, its wings vibrated to break free from the bonds, but the binding force was too strong, it felt it could only exert sixty to seventy percent of its strength, “This is bad.”
“Forbidden Art—Heavenly Extinguishing Curse Technique!”
“Lie Yuan Technique!”
At that moment, Luo Feng’s Causality Avatar used one of the forbidden arts created after fully understanding the Great Dao of Life and Death – the ‘Heavenly Extinguishing Curse Technique.’ This move had significant energy consumption and was immensely powerful.
As the Causality Curse Technique descended, Luo Feng’s World Avatar also executed the Lie Yuan Technique.
The Three-faced Grey Winged Beast ‘saw’ an overwhelming star rolling towards it, crushing its will!
“Rumbling—”
Low-level Primordial Life as beings that have leaped out of the Braided Cage, their souls or their Physical Bodies, are terrifyingly tenacious.
Suffering simultaneously from the attacks of ‘Heavenly Extinguishing Curse Technique’ and ‘Lie Yuan Technique,’ the Three-faced Grey Winged Beast felt somewhat dazed, its consciousness significantly dulled.
At this moment—
“Slash.”
Luo Feng, dressed in a white robe and towering in stature about one-third the size of the Three-faced Grey Winged Beast, suddenly appeared in front of it.
The moment he appeared, Luo Feng’s giant hands, wearing Secret Treasure Gloves, acted like sharp claws, embodying the profound rotation of Life and Death, and forcefully pierced through the chest of the Three-faced Grey Winged Beast!
