Hu!
The black Flying Boat rapidly advanced, piercing through the dense clouds, moving further and further away from Yulan City.
“According to the map, we have tentatively entered the Elder Hunting Area,” Emperor Qing became tense, he put all his effort into probing the vast Void around them, “In this area, my strength is too weak, I must rely on you, Brother Luo Feng.”
“Don’t worry.”
Luo Feng’s glabella opened the Biomimetic Eye of Destruction, and the ‘Xuanqing Sky Annihilation Array Map’ inside his body was also in operation, enveloping the surrounding vast expanse with an Array Formation Domain centered on the Flying Boat to prevent ambushes.
“You know the rules of hunting,” Emperor Qing whispered, “I have only one thing to say, this being our first time in the Elder Hunting Area, we need to maintain the highest level of vigilance!”
The rules and experiences of hunting can be bought from intelligence dealers in Yulan City; of course, Luo Feng knew them.
But to turn other people’s experiences into one’s own requires repeated trials.
“Sasha Sasha~~~”
While Luo Feng and Emperor Qing were slowly maneuvering the black Flying Boat, a virtual creature resembling a centipede was slowly creeping along, having completely concealed itself, not even Luo Feng’s ‘Biomimetic Eye of Destruction’ detected the slightest sign of it.
It was called the ‘Blood Demon Elysi’.
The Blood Demon Elysi clan, among the Low Level Primordial Life, is a rather large race with a great reputation, notorious for concealment and deadly poison! Cultivators were also extremely wary of it.
“Sasha Sasha~~~” This Blood Demon Elysi slowly meandered, eyeing the distant black Flying Boat, and it detected an Array Formation Domain around the Flying Boat.
“Two cultivators daring to delve deep here? But looking at the two of them, they don’t appear to be Elders from Yulan City.” The Blood Demon Elysi observed, as a Late Stage Divine Emperor level Blood Demon Elysi, it held a certain status within its clan and had some intelligence on the Elders of Yulan City.
The intelligence it had was quite outdated.
However, in normal circumstances, there are only slight changes in the long years for the Elders of Yulan City.
“Let’s give it a try first.” After observing for a moment, the Blood Demon Elysi decided not to wait any longer.
Delay could lead to unexpected changes.
With time passing, it’s possible that other members of its species would discover these two cultivators and these two pieces of ‘meat’ might get eaten by its kin.
Cultivators hunt Low Level Primordial Life, but likewise, Low Level Primordial Life also yearn to hunt these cultivators! By killing enough cultivators, they can obtain various benefits such as bloodline evolution, strength enhancement, and full recovery of freedom.
“This is my prey!” The Blood Demon Elysi suddenly pounced—
At this moment, Luo Feng and Emperor Qing, piloting the black Flying Boat, maintained the highest level of vigilance, with Luo Feng also keeping the ‘Xuanqing Sky Annihilation Array Map’ within his body operational, safeguarding the Array Formation Domain.
But indeed, they had not detected the Blood Demon Elysi.
“Rip—”
A terrifying fluctuation instantly pierced through the Xuanqing Sky Array Formation Domain, causing Luo Feng’s face to drastically change.
“Not good!” It was only when the formidable enemy breached the Array Formation Domain that Luo Feng noticed a twisted creature covered with dense claws, resembling a centipede. The mere perception of it caused Luo Feng to experience a multitude of sensations such as nausea, dizziness, and the world turning upside down.
“It’s the Blood Demon Elysi!”
Luo Feng instantly recognized the identity of the attacker, and his Blood Sea Undying Body fully erupted in response.
Boom Boom Boom~~~~
The vast Endless Blood Sea surged outwards in all directions, also hitting the attacking Blood Demon Elysi. The Endless Blood Sea, with the ‘Xuanqing Sky Annihilation Array Map’ as its core, operated with terrifying might, forcibly blocking the Blood Demon Elysi’s pounce.
“I will collect you first!” Luo Feng unleashed the Blood Sea Undying Body also to protect Emperor Qing.
At this moment, Emperor Qing was already on the verge of collapse.
Simply by seeing the Blood Demon Elysi, one could be poisoned.
If touched, the severity would be a hundred or even a thousandfold worse.
“Hu.” While telepathically conveying his message, Luo Feng also collected Emperor Qing directly.
The intense toxicity of the ‘Blood Demon Elysi’ was too dreadful; even a Late Stage Divine Emperor who was Enlightened could be poisoned to death if their Physical Body was weaker. Emperor Qing was indeed incapable of making contact with the opponent.
Having collected Emperor Qing, Luo Feng was then able to go all out in hand-to-hand combat with the Blood Demon Elysi.
“This fierce poison.” Luo Feng resisted the Blood Demon Elysi with his Endless Blood Sea, but in doing so, he also came into contact with it. The terrible poison contained within the Blood Demon Elysi naturally transferred into the Blood Sea, and began to rapidly infiltrate and spread.
“Die.” The Blood Demon Elysi had great confidence in its own toxicity; even though they were lower-level beings, they were born Primordial Lives, entities meant to break free from cages! Its poison was extremely frightening.
Sometimes, with its deadly poison alone, it could repel or even kill Late Stage Divine Emperor Enlightened Ones.
“Whoosh—”
Luo Feng’s Blood Sea Undying Body was vast enough; without much consideration, he instantly struck back with a claw.
The enormous fluffy claw was simply too big! Its sweep covered a wide area; the Blood Demon Elysi had nowhere to hide and was forcefully torn apart by the fluffy claw.
The instant it was touched and torn, the Blood Demon Elysi naturally divided, splitting into billions of parts, billions of tiny ‘centipedes’ that merged into the Endless Blood Sea.
“A single strike has shattered my True Body!” After being struck by the claw, the Blood Demon Elysi was also startled, “So vicious?”
The power of this claw was too terrifying to withstand; it had no choice but to completely divide along with the attack.
“Hiss Hiss Hiss~~~~”
The world turned upside down!
The Blood Sea was boundless!
“Xuanqing Sky!”
The Xuanqing Sky Annihilation Array Map within Luo Feng’s body operated at full force, enveloping a vast area with the Endless Blood Sea, wrapping up the ‘billions of tiny centipedes’ within its range and collecting them all into the Blood Sea Eye.
Inside the Blood Sea Eye, the Array operated, imprisoning billions of tiny ‘Blood Demon Elysi’ within a space cage.
Countless tiny Blood Demon Elysi fiercely retaliated, causing the space cage to tremble as if it were about to shatter.
“Undying Heart, quell!”
Suddenly a green treasure pearl appeared, and under its guidance, with it as the core, numerous channels extended throughout Luo Feng’s physical body and even spread into the infinite Blood Sea.
With this network of channels sprawling everywhere, the might of the Endless Blood Sea increased several-fold, and its toughness shot up by dozens of times, acquiring a hint of an undying charm.
The Blood Sea Eye, as the core of the ‘Undying Blood Sea Body,’ was now merged within this green treasure pearl.
With the enhancement of the ‘Undying Heart,’ the stability of the Blood Sea Eye soared, as did the rigidity of the space cage, forcefully suppressing the billions of tiny Blood Demon Elysi.
“Hiss~~”
Inside the Blood Sea Eye, rolling Blood Waves condensed into a fuzzy claw, whose terrifying might crushing the tiny Blood Demon Elysi.
One claw, two claws, three claws… With each swipe, large numbers of Blood Demon Elysi were crushed to pieces.
“No, no!”
“How is this possible? He’s not even listed among the Elders of Yulan City, how could he be so strong?”
As billions of tiny Blood Demon Elysi were continuously crushed, they struggled in vain. First, they couldn’t escape, and second, the greatly enhanced might of the ‘Undying Blood Sea Body’ wielding the fuzzy claw was far too terrifying. Merely six swipes, and Luo Feng had torn apart the hidden ‘Life Core of the Blood Demon Elysi.’ Once the Life Core split open, all Blood Demon Elysi naturally merged into one, revealing its true form.
“I…”
In that moment of death, Blood Demon Elysi couldn’t believe that its journey of growth would end today!
“Finally, I’ve killed it.” Looking at the huge corpse of the Blood Demon Elysi, Luo Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, “I had to use both of my treasures to kill it.”
Just with the Palm World, he couldn’t trap the Blood Demon Elysi.
Only with the ‘Blood Sea Undying Body’ enhanced by the Undying Heart could he comprehensively suppress the Blood Demon Elysi. Only then did he have the opportunity to inflict heavy damage with each claw, and even kill it.
“I can also count myself as having killed a Low-Level Primordial Life at the Late Stage of Divine Emperor.” Luo Feng was somewhat wistful.
At the Elder level, only a few could kill a Low-Level Primordial Life at the Late Stage Divine Emperor in a one-on-one fight.
Luo Feng also knew that he had relied on the power of treasures.
Without the ‘Undying Heart’ and the ‘Palm World,’ these two treasures, his own strength would drastically decrease. He couldn’t possibly deal with this Blood Demon Elysi.
“Hm? It’s dead, yet this virulent poison is still seeping through?”
Luo Feng frowned.
Within the Endless Blood Sea, supported by the ‘Undying Heart,’ the spread of the virulent poison was greatly slowed.
But it was only slowed! The area affected by the poison was constantly expanding without the slightest reduction.
“This virulent poison can’t be destroyed.” Luo Feng couldn’t care for too much. With a thought, he separated all the ‘Energy’ that had come into contact with Blood Demon Elysi, discarding all that were tainted with poison.
He divided a vast portion, about one-twentieth, of the Endless Blood Sea.
Poisonous invasion!
Luo Feng watched as the separated one-twentieth of the Blood Sea was quickly eroded away completely by the poison, eventually leaving behind only a mass of distorted, vast virulence.
This virulent mass was a dark black sphere about three thousand kilometers in diameter, constantly twisting and tumbling with countless thread-like substances within it.
Suddenly, this ball formed of twisted threads rapidly collapsed and shrank, finally condensing into a fist-sized ‘black liquid.’
“I actually can’t handle it.” Luo Feng watched in shock, he dared not to directly touch this virulent poison.
This is the specialty of Low-level Primordial Lives.
After all, they are beings born to break out of the Cage, possessing some incomprehensibly special characteristics.
Some of them hide away, beyond the ken of Cultivators.
There are even some that can break through the many defenses of Yulan City and infiltrate directly into the city. In every epoch, there are Cultivators within the city who are assassinated by these infiltrating Low-level Primordial Lives.
Luckily for Luo Feng, he resides in the Inner City, and his stay has been short, so he has not yet encountered such an event.
“The Elysi Poison can also fetch a high price, better to store it away for now.” Luo Feng immediately used a storage treasure to collect this fist-sized black liquid.
Storing the Elysi Poison must be done with care, as it cannot touch any living matter. Once it touches, it will immediately seep through and erode. Unless one breaks out of the Cage, their own energy form cannot eliminate this virulent poison.
“Hurry and leave, can’t linger.” In an instant, Luo Feng transformed into a blood shadow, silently merging into the heavens and earth to depart.
The first rule of hunting: After killing a Low-level Primordial Life, immediately leave the battlefield.
After traveling for a moment.
Luo Feng then released the black Flying Boat and also released Emperor Qing.
Although Emperor Qing was still a bit uncomfortable, he was now able to remain absolutely coherent.
“Escaped?” Seeing his surroundings, Emperor Qing quickly remarked, “Blood Demon Elysi has a strong tracking ability. If it failed in its assassination, it might secretly pursue us, or even call for companions.”
“Don’t worry, it’s dead,” Luo Feng said.
Emperor Qing was stunned.
“The Blood Demon Elysi was tricky to deal with. I had to exert all my strength, and it was not easy to kill it,” Luo Feng said, “Now we’ve moved quite far from the battlefield and are relatively safe, let’s continue the hunt.”
