Luo Feng watched as the overwhelming Low-level Primordial Life Army surged in from all directions.
In his eyes, he could withstand the four Super Limit Level beings! But regardless of the 2600+ Divine Emperor Perfection Level beings or the tens of thousands of Late Stage Divine Emperors, once they got close, a single combined strike from them would be too much. His thirty-four avatars wouldn’t hold, and he would have to rely on his movement technique to escape far away.
“I must set up the formation before the army reaches the core area! Once the army arrives, it will completely destroy the core area, with likely nine out of ten elders perishing,” Luo Feng understood this point, “Without the elders’ assistance, even if I manage to repel this army by myself, there will still be heavy casualties within the city.”
To reduce casualties, the elders must be protected.
The elders’ formation combined with his own would maximize their defensive power.
“Deploy the formation!”
Luo Feng stood there, almost all his thoughts focused on the core formation layer of Yulan City, rapidly engraving the formation.
Whoosh~~~ Whoosh~~~ Whoosh~~~
The overwhelming army was attacking from all directions simultaneously. The four Super Limit Level beings didn’t dare get too close and had already converged at a distance.
“The four of us will join forces and try to distract Luo Feng! If he battles with the four of us, he’ll have to divert much of his attention… This way, the speed at which he sets up the formation will significantly decrease.”
“Once the army arrives at the core area, it will completely destroy the entire area where the elders live! Without the aid of nearly 200 elders, even if Luo Feng tries to suppress us alone, we should be able to kill enough cultivators and successfully retreat!”
The four Super Limit Level beings were very clear about the situation.
If the city falls, it would be to their advantage.
Luo Feng is too fast, free to come and go, and the Low-level Primordial Life Army can’t kill him! But they can exterminate the remaining nearly 200 elders! This would be severing one of Luo Feng’s arms.
Otherwise, Luo Feng leading numerous elders together would doubly increase their deterrent power!
“The formation set up by someone mastering two Half Primordial Level Daos would be immensely vast and complex, and would still need some time to complete.”
“We need to delay a little more. Regardless, it will be enough time for the army to reach the core area.”
The four Super Limit Level beings had calculated and deemed their chances very high!
First, annihilate the elders to weaken Yulan City’s deterrent power, then slaughter the cultivators, and finally lead the entire army to escape! That was their plan! The army would likely suffer significant losses, but the four Super Limit Level beings could still survive.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The four Super Limit Level beings burst forth in speed, charging straight at Luo Feng.
“Four Super Limit Level beings?”
“Can City Lord Luo Feng withstand them alone against four?”
The elders in the city and many cultivators looked up and saw the four enormous figures.
The Enchanting Heart Worm completely revealed its true form, its illusory body appearing and disappearing.
The black, serpentine mountain-like being had black flames surging on its surface, with burning eyes staring at Luo Feng from its massive head.
Another enormous Thunderbolt Tentacle Creature observed Luo Feng with numerous tentacles.
A massive bird exuding endless destruction spread its wings, seemingly covering half the sky.
“Four Super Limit Level beings! Even at my peak, relying on mighty secret treasures, I could only flee in embarrassment facing four Super Limit Level beings,” said Yuan Xiang Palace Master, looking up, knowing the difference between one-on-one and one-on-four was vast.
Four Super Limit Level beings could coordinate and simultaneously strike from different angles, tremendously increasing their threat level.
“Luo Feng! Do you dare battle us?” the voice of the Super Limit Level Enchanting Heart Worm echoed in Luo Feng’s mind. “Of course, you can also choose to flee, and we four can rampage through the core area, exterminating those elders one by one.”
Luo Feng gazed at the four figures.
“One-on-one, you tremble in terror. Four-on-one, you four have confidence,” Luo Feng said, as his thirty-four avatars guarded their posts. “I shall grant your wish.”
Whoosh!
Luo Feng’s strongest avatar took the initiative, stepping forward, moving within the blurred rifts of heaven and earth, charging straight at the four Super Limit Level beings.
Since a battle was inevitable, it had to be fought away from the core area.
Although the battle might affect some innocent cultivators, there was no choice; sacrifices must be made in war! Saving one more elder might save millions of cultivators indirectly.
“Here he comes.”
The four Super Limit Level beings stared intently at the black-clad, black-haired figure. This figure walked through the rifts of heaven and earth, taking two steps to reach them.
A wave of mental force instantly struck Luo Feng as the Super Limit Level Enchanting Heart Worm immediately used its innate secret technique, Enchanting Heart. Although Luo Feng could withstand it, he had to divert some heart force and utilize techniques like the Lie Yuan Technique to resist.
“Hmph.”
As Luo Feng approached, an overwhelming Endless Blood Sea appeared beneath him, swirling and surging, aiming to engulf the four Super Limit Level beings completely.
In the area below Luo Feng, there were large sections of cave mansions. The cultivators in these mansions looked up at the sky, seeing the swirling vast Blood Sea and the four Super Limit Level beings.
“I hope we are not affected.”
“If this level of battle affects us, we might be done for.”
The cultivators’ hearts trembled as they could only activate the formations within their cave mansions, doing their best to ward off any possible ‘aftermath.’
While battling, Luo Feng would try to protect these weaker ones.
But in a ‘Super Limit Level’ battle, Luo Feng couldn’t guarantee that he could fully protect the cultivators while also fighting.
“Boom——”
In the Endless Blood Sea, a massive black serpent-like figure erupted with terrifying flames which burned the Blood Sea everywhere and even attempted to incinerate Luo Feng’s soul.
However, the impact on the soul was much weaker compared to the Enchanting Heart Worm’s innate secret technique, Enchanting Heart.
That Thunderbolt Tentacle Creature’s form gathered endless thunder, madly bombarding the Blood Sea.
“Destroy.”
The immense Bird of Destruction, its wings spread out like fog. As its wings flapped, layers of dark energy surged towards the Blood Sea like tidal waves, penetrating through every layer, shaking, twisting, and tearing apart. It also traced the life aura, aiming to shake, twist, and kill Luo Feng’s soul.
“Among the four Super Limit Level beings, the Bird of Destruction deals the most damage.” At this moment, Luo Feng was subjected to over ten types of attacks.
Material destruction, flames, dark energies, thunder, invisible restraints, tentacles, causality attacks on the soul, energy shocks, twisting and tearing all creation…
Each of these attacks could severely injure a Palace Master Level being, and two or three combined could destroy a Palace Master.
With over ten forces striking simultaneously! Luo Feng, having just recently broken through, had his Life Form Secret Technique incomplete; if not for ordinary avatars, they would have been utterly annihilated under such assault.
But with the ‘Undying Heart’s’ support, the Undying Blood Sea dramatically enhanced, becoming nearly indestructible.
Regardless of soul or physical body, this ‘Blood Sea Body’ stubbornly withstood the full-force assault of the four Super Limit Level beings in an instant, with only a minimal amount of ‘Blood Sea Water’ being consumed. Yet the consumption rate still couldn’t match his absorption of Yulan City’s energy.
“In true combat, protect yourself first, then seek to kill the enemy,” Luo Feng thought to himself.
Protective treasures were incredibly precious. The one he exchanged from the Infinite Space Treasure Vault, the one that suited him, balancing life and destruction, was only the Undying Heart.
“What!” The four Super Limit Level beings were astonished. Despite their full efforts, the vast Blood Sea didn’t seem to suffer any noticeable loss.
“Swoosh——”
From within the Blood Sea, a massive furry paw instantly grabbed the Bird of Destruction. The bird, dealing the most damage, let out an extraordinarily sharp cry!
The Bird of Destruction transformed into black mist, its immense form becoming a hazy bird-like shape in midair.
“Rumble——” Luo Feng’s furry paw then swiped at the nearby Thunderbolt Tentacle Creature.
The Thunderbolt Tentacle Creature’s many thick tentacles immediately tried to entangle and block the paw.
But the terrifying power of the paw forcibly squeezed tight.
“Bang.”
On the other side, the black serpentine mountain-like being’s tail viciously whipped Luo Feng’s paw. The tremendous impact forced Luo Feng’s paw to release its grip, allowing the Thunderbolt Tentacle Creature to escape in a panic.
…
The vast Blood Sea, roiling and binding all around.
Thunder, flames, dark erosion spread their forces, and the immensely terrifying furry paw pursued and attacked the four Super Limit Level beings! Each had their techniques, coordinating to protect themselves.
“How is Luo Feng this strong?”
“Even though we four are together, we can’t threaten his protective capabilities.”
“But his secret treasure paw can threaten our lives.”
Though unwilling to admit it, the four Super Limit Level beings were indeed at a disadvantage in this one-versus-four battle.
They couldn’t harm Luo Feng.
They could only collaborate to survive!
Despite their disadvantage, the four Super Limit Level beings didn’t give up and continued to battle Luo Feng together. The Super Limit Level Enchanting Heart Worm repeatedly used its innate secret technique to interfere with Luo Feng.
“Amazing.”
“To be dominant in a four-on-one battle, City Lord Luo Feng is impressive,” the elders watching were excited, and the cultivators in the caves below the battlefield were deeply grateful.
Due to Luo Feng’s upper hand, he could still divert some thoughts to control Yulan City’s energy, reducing the battle’s fallout, saving the caves below.
“To be dominant against four Super Limit Level beings. Compared to him, Wei Yang Palace Master is far inferior,” the Shadow Tower Master watched, feeling regrets about the conflicts he had with Luo Feng.
…
While battling, Luo Feng looked into the distance.
The Low-level Primordial Life Army was flying towards the core area from all directions! Thus, the distances varied, with the closest army approaching from the East City Gate, now not far from the core area.
“Hahaha, almost there.”
“One of the armies is close to the core area,” the four Super Limit Level beings were thrilled.
“This army has over 800 Divine Emperor Perfection Level beings and over 12,000 Late Stage Divine Emperors, enough to annihilate the core area!”
They eagerly watched.
…
Since Luo Feng broke through from the Life and Death Dao, he had begun setting up the formation in the Yulan City’s core layer immediately.
Basing the formation on the ‘Late Stage Divine Emperor Life and Death Dao’ naturally made it vast and complex.
“I divided the formation into three layers.”
“Set up the first layer first. The most crucial aspect of the first layer is speed!”
No matter how fast the first layer, it only contained the basics of the Late Stage Divine Emperor Life and Death Dao, as Luo Feng simplified it and, with the help of the tripled speed of thought provided by the Hundred Tribulations Heart Essence, quickly set up the simplest first layer.
The formation structure could vary greatly.
Luo Feng chose the ‘Three-layered Array’ to quickly set up the first layer, so as to change the tide of war and save more cultivators’ lives.
While sensing the Low-level Primordial Life Army approaching, Luo Feng, while battling the four Super Limit Level beings, was fully focused on setting up the formation.
“Done.”
At last, as he completed the first layer of the formation, his eyes were filled with excitement.
