“Blood Demon Elysi has been slain?”
Emperor Qing felt a tumultuous surge within his heart.
These innate Primordial Life forms, although their moves are crude, each possessed enormously tenacious life force!
To defeat is easy, to kill is hard!
According to the experience in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, Enlightened Cultivators of the same level, when facing Low Level Primordial Life one-on-one, generally hold a slight advantage. But to kill them is extremely difficult. Hence the need for several team members to hunt together.
“Luo Feng, with his own strength, has killed a Late Stage Divine Emperor Low Level Primordial Life. Such power is considered extremely strong even among the Elders,” thought Emperor Qing. “Even Elder Tian He is not to be feared!”
Even if Elder Tian He has accumulated profound strength, as long as he hasn’t reached the Half Primordial Level, he couldn’t possibly slay Luo Feng with such might.
Even if Elder Tian He has a slight upper hand… Luo Feng’s name will still spread throughout Yulan City!
“Good, let’s continue hunting.”
Emperor Qing calmed his emotions and drove the black Flying Boat forward.
“Brother Luo Feng, this should be the last time we hunt together as a team,” Emperor Qing sighed. “I thought I could be of some help, but who would have thought I wouldn’t be able to lift a finger, even becoming a burden to you.”
The threat posed by Late Stage Divine Emperor Low Level Primordial Life is too great. Just like the previous Elysi Poison, if even a bit touched Emperor Qing, this very avatar of him would be annihilated.
“Brother Emperor Qing was able to reach the Middle Stage of Divine Emperor within a single Reincarnation Era in the Land of Origin,” Luo Feng smiled. “Such talent, surpassing even that of the two countries’ Ancestors. In the future, let alone at the Elder level… there’s even hope for Half Primordial!”
Emperor Qing chuckled upon hearing that.
He indeed had this confidence.
But Emperor Qing also understood… He would need to endure through long years, with immense hardship, born into death, struggling immensely to touch upon the Half Primordial. That was probably the limit for his lifetime,
But for Luo Feng with such a growth rate, the Half Primordial Level seems within easy reach, with utterly no obstruction!
“Perhaps it’s only by breaking out of the Braided Cage that Brother Luo Feng will spend long years. With his talent, it’s possible he could leap out of the Braided Cage,” Emperor Qing thought.
He also knew that leaping out of the Braided Cage was very difficult.
In the Dark Sacred Realm, Late Stage Divine Emperor Enlightened ones are the minimum threshold, and Half Primordial Level beings are everywhere. This place gathers countless powerful beings from numerous worlds, yet ‘leaping out of the Braided Cage’ remains a legend!
Difficult, difficult, difficult!
“I wonder if Luo Feng’s potential could leap out of the Braided Cage and become Primordial Life,” thought Emperor Qing.
…
As the two conversed, they remained vigilant. Luo Feng’s Biomimetic Eye of Destruction in his brow constantly observed his surroundings, and the Xuanqing Sky Annihilation Array Map within him was always operating, forming a vast Domain that protected everything around him.
Previously, when ambushed by Blood Demon Elysi, it was precisely the Array Formation Domain that allowed Luo Feng to save Emperor Qing in time.
“Hmm?”
Luo Feng’s Biomimetic Eye of Destruction peered into the distance ahead to the left.
There was a cluster of clouds concealing the area, but Luo Feng could still manage a glimpse through them, spotting creatures covered in blue-white Scale Armor with eight hooves each, and every one of them had a Single Horn, radiating coldness, naturally forming clouds.
“Fifteen Frost Soul Watchers,” Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
In the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, lower-level Primordial Life consists of many different races.
In terms of numbers, the Frost Soul Watchers come first. Their numbers are terrifyingly large. Even the hunters of Yulan City have seen thousands of Frost Soul Watchers acting in unison, with three of them at the level of Divine Emperor Perfection among such a formidable force… Against such a large team… no cultivator in Yulan City dares to obstruct them.
They mostly act in groups outside.
A lone Frost Soul Watcher is a rare occurrence.
A solitary Frost Soul Watcher is generally one that has failed the competition for leadership and been exiled. To vie for leadership, one must certainly be at the level of Divine Emperor Perfection.
Therefore, encountering a Frost Soul Watcher acting alone is even more frightening and dangerous.
“Fifteen Frost Soul Watchers?” Emperor Qing said in surprise on the side, “It looks like a small squad.”
“Judging by their stature, breath, and scale armor patterns, they should all be at the Middle Stage of Divine Emperor,” Luo Feng determined, “Although Frost Soul Watchers are numerous among the lower-level Primordial Lives, all other aspects about them are quite ordinary.”
Concealment, escape, attack, self-defense… they know a little of everything, but every aspect is quite ordinary.
“These fifteen Frost Soul Watchers, let’s try to take them out in one fell swoop,” Luo Feng said, “Emperor Qing, you help too.”
“Hmm,” Emperor Qing nodded, “I will try to block them.”
…
The cloud cluster’s flying speed wasn’t fast, and the fifteen Frost Soul Watchers stood there, watching all around. Though their observation capabilities were far inferior to Luo Feng’s Secret Technique ‘Biomimetic Destruction Eye,’ they still knew a bit about the art of observation.
They were very patient, vigilantly watching in all directions.
Once they spotted ‘prey,’ they would set off collectively.
Lower-level Primordial Lives love hunting ‘cultivators.’ But Frost Soul Watchers are a very ferocious race, and these large numbers occasionally devour other lower-level Primordial Lives as well.
“Whoosh~~~~”
The Endless Blood Sea suddenly appeared, with the boundless blood-color spreading throughout heaven and earth.
The Blood Sea enveloped the cloud cluster and the fifteen Frost Soul Watchers within it.
“There are cultivators!” All fifteen Frost Soul Watchers turned to look at the two figures in the center of the Endless Blood Sea, Luo Feng and Emperor Qing’s figures.
“Kill.”
The Blood Sea was devouring and twisting the cloud cluster, but the cloud cluster completely resisted the erosion of the Blood Sea. Meanwhile, Emperor Qing was also setting up a Sword Array from a distance.
“The cultivator controlling the Blood Sea should be a Late Stage Divine Emperor Enlightened One. The one next to him is much weaker,” they assessed.
“Together, we can break the Blood Sea and tear both of them to pieces,” they plotted.
The fifteen Frost Soul Watchers were not the least bit afraid. If three or five Elders made a move, they would not hesitate to flee.
But merely one Elder?
They are best at collective combat. Teams of fifteen dare to fight a Late Stage Divine Emperor Enlightened One.
“Boom~~~”
The fifteen Frost Soul Watchers moved in unison, spreading icy chills all around. The cold air transformed the cloud cluster into a single entity, protecting the fifteen of them and completely blocking Luo Feng’s Blood Sea invasion.
“Cultivators, die!”
The massive clouds transformed into huge, terrifying claws, grasping towards Luo Feng. Despite strenuous resistance, Luo Feng was torn apart by the colossal claws and merged into the Endless Blood Sea as waves of blood.
“He excels at transforming into a Blood Sea, but his physical combat is rather mediocre.” The fifteen Frost Soul Watchers instantly exchanged thoughts, “Destroy its Blood Sea.”
Instantly, their combined colossal cloud began to frenziedly absorb the blood waves.
“Rip.”
The Endless Blood Sea suddenly erupted in rage.
“Xuanqing Sky, a thin line between heaven and earth!”
A ‘light’ infused with the aura of life and death instantly pierced through their massive cloud, as well as the body of one of the Frost Soul Watchers. In the moment of penetration, the Life Core within was shattered. Carrying the blood waves, the light swept past the Frost Soul Watcher’s body, which disappeared into thin air.
“Hmm?” The remaining fourteen Frost Soul Watchers were shocked, “His Endless Blood Sea is adept at formations, and its power is quite formidable.”
“Continue absorbing the Blood Sea; the smaller it gets, the weaker his formations will be.”
The massive cloud ferociously absorbed, temporarily suppressing the energy from the Blood Sea that was engulfed.
“These naturally born Primordial lives all have quite bizarre talents.” Luo Feng was intentionally showing weakness at this moment, fearing that these prey would be solely focused on escaping. If the opponents all escaped with their full strength, he would have limited capability to intercept them.
First, allow these Frost Soul Watchers to see the possibility of ‘victory’.
The Endless Blood Sea released by Luo Feng was merely ‘one percent’ of the real Blood Sea’s energy reserve, but among cultivators, it was considered a normal physical body, so the Frost Soul Watchers didn’t suspect anything.
“Hiss!”
The Light of Life and Death pierced through the massive cloud once again, taking another Frost Soul Watcher with it.
“We have already absorbed thirty percent of the Blood Sea; he won’t last much longer.” At this moment, the Frost Soul Watchers were unwilling to give up, crazily absorbing the Blood Sea, its expanse visibly shrinking at the speed visible to the naked eye.
“Hiss!” “Hiss!” “Hiss!”
Afterward, the Light of Life and Death struck three more times, resulting in three more Frost Soul Watchers falling dead.
By now, the Endless Blood Sea had significantly reduced in size.
“Hiss.”
The sixth Light of Life and Death couldn’t even penetrate the cloud anymore.
“His Blood Sea is only left with thirty percent, formation power greatly weakened, he’s no longer a threat to us.” The remaining ten Frost Soul Watchers grew even more frenzied, with the death of five comrades only intensifying their murderous intent.
“You low-level Primordial beings do have some tricks. However, you are no match for me.” Suddenly, a bloody shadow tried to escape.
“Escape?”
All ten Frost Soul Watchers turned towards that one blood shadow simultaneously.
An invisible fluctuation enveloped the blood shadow.
Talent—Soul Freeze!
The Soul Freeze formed by the ten Frost Soul Watchers simultaneously wasn’t particularly strong. Even without the Lie Yuan Technique, Luo Feng could withstand it easily, at most affecting his Escape Skill. Moreover, he had the protection of the Lie Yuan Technique and the Undying Heart.
The Undying Heart provides protection to the soul as well. This Soul Freeze had no real effect on Luo Feng.
“Ah.” The escaping blood shadow seemed momentarily disrupted, the Escape Skill broken, revealing his physical form.
“Cultivator, you cannot escape,” the ten Frost Soul Watchers were all very excited, as the massive cloud suddenly became incomparably huge, aiming to completely devour all the Blood Waves, including the silhouette of Luo Feng.
“Is that so?” Luo Feng appeared to be in a frenzy.
“Boom.” He transformed into a fleeting shadow, forcefully piercing through the Blood Waves. A blurry claw swept past one of the Frost Soul Watchers, cracking open another Frost Soul Watcher’s Life Core and taking away a corpse.
“What?” The remaining nine Frost Soul Watchers felt disconcerted. The already greatly weakened Cultivator had taken away another one.
“About time!”
Luo Feng was not willing to delay any longer. First, the number of Frost Soul Watchers had dropped from fifteen to nine, which meant the threat level was less than half of what it was before. Second, within the Elder Hunting Area, battle engagements must be swift, as dragging it out could lead to accidents.
“Rumble~~~~”
The Endless Blood Sea unfolded, and a towering figure appeared. The towering figure had an ‘Undying Heart’ within its body; led by the Undying Heart, countless vessels extended throughout its entire body and also spread throughout the entire Endless Blood Sea.
The Undying Blood Sea Body, utilizing the ‘Undying Heart,’ its might instantly surged several times over.
“Swoosh.”
As the Undying Blood Sea Body fully erupted, Luo Feng’s right hand also transformed into a huge, fuzzy claw. With the Immortal Body driving this claw… this claw instantly tore through the massive cloud, as well as ripping apart the ranks of the Frost Soul Watchers, killing two Frost Soul Watchers on the spot.
“He’s been hiding his strength.”
“He’s not just any ordinary Elder!”
“Escape.”
The remaining seven Frost Soul Watchers realized they had been tricked. In an instant, they transformed into seven rays of light, as swift as the Light of the Spirit. The resistance brought by the Blood Waves was minimal, and the seven rays of light rapidly attempted to flee.
However, in terms of escape skills, even though they were capable, they were far inferior to the likes of Blood Demon Elysi. Luo Feng clearly saw the seven rays of light.
“Swoosh!” The Blood Waves churned, and the world seemed to turn upside down.
“Suppress!”
The entire Blood Sea space pressed down.
In an instant, it trapped five of the rays of light, confining them within the Blood Sea Eye.
As for the other two escaping rays of light.
One encountered Luo Feng’s fuzzy claw, which deployed the ‘Palm World’ to envelop it, while the other light ray was obstructed by Emperor Qing’s Sword Array.
Soon, these Frost Soul Watchers were all captured and killed one by one.
“I actually managed to capture them all,” Luo Feng was quite excited. A single Frost Soul Watcher was manageable, but when fifteen combined into a team, the difficulty skyrocketed. By feigning weakness, he was able to trap the opposition completely.
“Fifteen Frost Soul Watchers, that’s almost worth two hundred million Primordial Crystals,” Emperor Qing was also quite buoyed. He had finally contributed significantly.
“Let’s leave this place first,” Luo Feng was also very lucid, not daring to linger too long in the battlefield.
The two of them immediately maneuvered the black Flying Boat and swiftly flew away.
Just a few dozen breaths later.
Nine even more terrifying Frost Soul Watchers arrived at the scene. Their gazes penetrated the Void, their cold aura affecting the vast surrounding area as they meticulously searched for any traces of the battle.
