“Lord Luo He, please continue to garrison the forbidden area. Shi Kingdom’s forces may return to launch a sneak attack at any moment,” Moli Xiao responded. “Now that Huyang City is under attack from various factions of Shi Kingdom, once the city calms down, Lord Luo He will have completed his employment.”
“Understood,” Luo Feng replied.
He understood that, on one hand, the city owner’s mansion had a detailed plan, and the defending force was sufficiently strong, so his help was not required. On the other hand, as a hired cultivator, he knew the trust the city owner’s mansion had in him was limited.
“I had hoped to exchange blows with a few more masters, what a pity,” Luo Feng stepped back to the entrance of the forbidden area and took up his post, beginning to reflect on the previous battle.
The Divine Power of Yutian Yi was far inferior to his, and even the ‘Power of Frost’ unleashed by the Mechanical Flow Secret Treasure was not as good as his Perfect Divine Body.
“Her blade technique…” Luo Feng recollected, “has a profound influence on space, fundamentally different from the effects of the Myriad Realms Escape Command on space.”
Luo Feng pondered and understood.
The path to the Primal Chaos Laws was not easy; Luo Feng, who had been an eternal true god for just over two decades, did not have as much realm accumulation as Yutian Yi, Yutian Xu, Xue Yun, and the others.
Luo Feng would learn from his opponents, allowing himself to grow faster.
“We’ve won this forbidden area! The other two areas are still in the midst of battle.” The Jin Xiao Legion, the Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast, and the Sabre-Winged Devouring Insect were also communicating, feeling much at ease.
“Lucky for us to have Lord Luo He, otherwise, just us alone would likely have needed to call for reinforcements.”
“Lord Luo He truly holds to his promises, even going so far as to kill several eternal true gods of Shi Kingdom!”
“That eternal true god who wielded thunder, likely had a Mechanical Flow Treasure, which also ended up in Lord Luo He’s hands.”
“Earning a couple of million Cosmic Sand for Lord Luo He really seems like a trivial task.”
They conversed through voice transmission, quite envious.
Although the side of the city owner’s mansion thought it highly unlikely for Lord Luo He to betray them, they still took precautions! Should Lord Luo He betray them, the city owner’s mansion would immediately mobilize forces to support them.
…
“Boom!” “Boom!”
In the night sky, two towering figures collided and battled each other.
One was Moli Xiao controlling the Legion Mechanical Secret Treasure ‘Six-Armed Divine Owl’, and the other was the towering true body of Yutian Xu, who had already started burning Divine Power, wielding a long staff.
With each collision, their might seemed to make heaven and earth tremble.
“This Yutian Xu truly deserves to be the head of the Five Gods of Yutian! His godly body has been cultivated to an inconceivable extent; perhaps not even the unlimited godly bodies can compare,” Moli Xiao was shocked. “I’m controlling the legion, and even with the aid of the Huyang City Formation, I can only barely injure him!”
Yutian Xu did not bother defending, attacking with each move as if causing a great collision between heaven and earth, ferociously and violently! Those light injuries would be instantaneously recovered by his godly body.
Moli Xiao was also quite troubled for a while.
“`
“Facing me, Divine Monarch Xue Yun only has a realm advantage and poses no threat to my godly body,” Yutian Xu said confidently. As one who possessed a godly body considered among the most formidable at the eternal true god level, and having also cultivated his Divine Power Dharma to an extremely high level, Yutian Xu feared nothing once he unleashed his full strength.
“Yutian Xu, retreat,” Divine Monarch Xue Yun suddenly messaged.
“Retreat?” Yutian Xu questioned, replying through messaging, “Why retreat?”
“Yutian Yi has failed on her end, and over here I’ve encountered ‘Great General Yong Hu’ from the Royal Capital of Yu Kingdom. I need to flee too. If you don’t retreat… you might be surrounded and attacked. Retreat quickly,” Divine Monarch Xue Yun responded.
…
Although Divine Monarch Xue Yun served Marquis Liu Yin of Shi Kingdom, he had never really fought for his life in Huyang City! He had only ever used a fraction of his strength—five parts perhaps—which was enough to intimidate Huyang City and to demand an abundance of resources from Marquis Liu Yin.
“With the conflict between the two kingdoms, their backing powers are endless. The more I reveal, the heavier the responsibilities I will have to shoulder, and the stronger the opponents I will encounter. Who knows, I may even die one day.”
“By hiding some of my strength, I can live longer! My goal isn’t to fight to the death for Shi Kingdom, but to gain resources for a breakthrough into the Primal Chaos Realm,” Divine Monarch Xue Yun was very clear about what he wanted.
In the Land of Origin, generally, each large city is home to several incredibly strong eternal true gods! But Divine Monarch Xue Yun didn’t take them seriously, for his realm cultivation had already reached unfathomably deep levels.
Even Yutian Xu and Yutian Yi believed that… he should be one step into the Primal Chaos Realm.
“I cultivate both my bloodline and laws, and furthermore, I’ve deduced nine moves from the Primal Chaos Realm. Looking at all the eternal true gods in the whole of Shi Kingdom, it’s hard to find one with a higher realm than mine.
Yet even so, I have still not made a breakthrough,” Divine Monarch Xue Yun stared at the formidable being before him, “This time in Huyang City, I finally encountered someone whose strength is not inferior to mine.”
The three forbidden lands were guarded by Luo Feng, Moli Xiao, and an old man with white hair.
Great General Yong Hu was a hidden strength. After the three forbidden lands were attacked, Great General Yong Hu chose to assault ‘Divine Monarch Xue Yun,’ because this time Divine Monarch Xue Yun’s unleashed strength was somewhat frightening and threatened the forbidden lands.
“You won’t escape today!” Great General Yong Hu was filled with a killing intent.
He had cultivated unlimited godly bodies and was an eternal true god with exceptional talent throughout the entire Yu Kingdom, highly valued by the Godly King! He had also learned many skills and laws from the Godly King, his cultivation in the realm had already reached a very high level, and he had also comprehended moves from the Primal Chaos Realm.
With unlimited godly bodies, the Godly King’s legacy, realm, will, and treasures, General Yong had no weaknesses.
“This Xue Yun’s godly body is not as good as mine,” General Yong thought intensely with killing intent, “But his accumulated realm cultivation is even above mine, using various moves in an unpredictable and enigmatic manner. Thankfully, the Huyang City Formation is aiding me, and today I finally have the chance to kill him.”
If it weren’t for the assistance of Huyang City Formation, General Yong would not be able to do anything to his opponent.
“General Yong, you’re just taking advantage of the Formation,” Divine Monarch Xue Yun said with a slight smile, and suddenly his body transformed into rolling Blood Waves, sweeping over a vast area in an instant.
Luo Feng, with the help of the Mechanical Flow Secret Treasure ‘Life Blood River,’ could also turn into a stretch of blood river.
But Divine Monarch Xue Yun had combined several Primal Chaos Realm moves, allowing his godly body to be completely transformed into an endless Blood Wave, which was far more exquisite in application than Luo Feng’s mere driving of the Mechanical Flow Secret Treasure.
“Hmm?” General Yong was startled.
“Suppress!”
With a shout from General Yong, a gigantic, illusory stamp descended in the night sky, slamming down on the Blood Wave beneath, causing parts of the Blood Wave to be annihilated.
The remaining vast majority of the Blood Wave spread in all directions, instantly engulfing a range of billions of miles! It devoured all life within those billions of miles, whether it was those living true gods or the true gods of the void space, swallowing everything, with the expanse of the Blood Wave still expanding.
“Insolence.” General Yong’s expression changed as the single wave of the Blood Wave devoured more than a billion creatures.
“General Yong, I admit you have more treasures than me and have formations to aid you. If we keep this up, I won’t be able to escape. But when you finally kill me, how many creatures do you think I can massacre? Five hundred billion, a thousand billion?
Haha, massacring so many creatures, can you handle the consequences?” Divine Monarch Xue Yun’s voice boomed and echoed through every part of the Blood Wave.
As the giant illusory seal crushed the Blood Wave, the rolling waves continued to sweep across regions.
“No.”
“Save me.”
“What’s happening?”
Countless creatures faced sudden calamity, vanishing in an instant within the Blood Wave.
“Get lost.” General Yong’s face darkened as the illusory seal in the sky retracted and fell into his palm, and the might of the formation was also withdrawn.
“Haha, General Yong is truly wise.” The rolling Blood Wave scattered and disappeared without a trace.
General Yong remained in place, quite unwilling to let it go.
“General Yong.” An elder with white hair approached him.
“To kill an eternal true god of Shi Kingdom by sacrificing tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of creatures is simply not worth it.” General Yong shook his head, “If he really massacred that many, not just me, but all five great families will be held accountable!”
“How could Divine Monarch Xue Yun be so powerful?” the white-haired elder could hardly believe it, “Through the long years until now, he has never revealed such strength.”
Both sides had been fighting for a long time, with Divine Monarch Xue Yun’s side even at a disadvantage.
“Without the Huyang City Formation, I can’t even handle him.” General Yong was indeed a bit agitated, his renown being what it was, and with the cultivation bestowed by the Godly King! This Divine Monarch Xue Yun, not very famous, had accumulated a higher realm than him.
General Yong silently sighed.
Status doesn’t equate to strength.
Even some reclusive cultivators can have extremely high realms and it’s also possible for a Primal Chaos Dominator to emerge among them.
“Never underestimate any opponent.” General Yong scanned the surroundings.
The residences of the true gods in Huyang City were separated into different areas, but even so, the endless Blood Wave affected too vast an area, affecting tens of billions of creatures in just a few clashes.
“About eighty billion creatures died at the hands of Xue Yun,” said the white-haired elder with an ugly expression, “Such a huge loss must be reported to the Marquis, reported to the Royal Capital.”
“We did our best.” General Yong turned to leave.
Though the clashes between Primal Chaos Dominator-level beings could, with a mere opening of the mouth, swallow an entire large city and obliterate all creatures within it!
Still, the conflict at the level of eternal true gods, counting tonight’s destruction and massacre in Huyang City, with nearly a hundred billion creatures perishing at once, still caused significant headaches for the city owner’s mansion. Such public killings were impossible to hide.
…
In front of the Forbidden Land’s palace gate, Luo Feng sat cross-legged, with Morosa and Moyu Qingyan standing guard next to him.
“Brother Luo He, your task is complete,” Moli Xiao messaged Luo Feng, “Shi Kingdom’s forces have completely retreated; they won’t make a move easily again.”
With General Yong’s presence, the forces of Shi Kingdom were naturally wary.
This time Divine Monarch Xue Yun was able to threaten and force General Yong to withdraw by slaughtering countless creatures.
“Good.” Luo Feng stood up and messaged back, “How’s the situation this time?”
“Not good; many citizens in the city died,” Moli Xiao transmitted, “Details will probably spread soon.”
Moli Xiao was quite aware of how informed various factions within Huyang City were; such a big incident couldn’t be kept secret, especially since the Flame Wind Pavilion was extremely adept at gathering intelligence; in many respects, they were stronger than the city owner’s mansion.
Luo Feng glanced at Morosa and Moyu Qingyan, “We can go back now.”
“Lord Luo He, we owe you a great deal for this time,” General Jin Xiao and the two leaders of Huyang Guards came to see them off.
“A small matter.” Luo Feng nodded, then led Morosa and Moyu Qingyan onto the Flying Boat and left.
The General Jin Xiao and the two leaders of Huyang Guards watched the scene.
“Our own losses are negligible, but the other two forbidden grounds have suffered considerably,” General Jin Xiao spoke, “Especially Divine Monarch Xue Yun, he has massacred too many creatures this time.”
“After we defeated Yutian Yi, if we had immediately sent Lord Luo He to support the other forbidden grounds, the outcome might have been different,” Gaowu Shui said.
“That was not for us to decide.” The other leader of the Huyang Guard also shook his head.
The affairs of Huyang City were decided by the core figures of the city owner’s mansion.
Their role was to follow orders.
******
Luo Feng, accompanied by Morosa and Moyu Qingyan, steered the Flying Boat, still on their return journey.
“Brother Luo He, a major incident has occurred,” Zhu You messaged Luo Feng, “‘Yong Hu,’ the Great General of Yu Kingdom’s Capital, appeared within the city and moved to exterminate Divine Monarch Xue Yun. Divine Monarch Xue Yun unleashed strength far beyond the past, resulting in the slaughter of more than eighty billion creatures, which forced Great General Yong Hu to retreat.”
“What’s the situation?” Luo Feng frowned slightly.
From the information passed by his master Mountain Sitting Guest and the Duan Dong River lineage, he already knew about the cruelty of the Land of Origin; not to mention the clashes between Primal Chaos Dominators and Godly Kings, even conflicts among the über powerful eternal true gods could still affect an astronomical number of creatures.
“I’ll send you the details.” Zhu You immediately sent a complete report, “This is the latest intelligence collected by the Flame Wind Pavilion, very detailed.”
Luo Feng immediately checked the detailed report; before this, he had not known about ‘Great General Yong Hu’ being in the city, and in more than two decades, he had never once found Divine Monarch Xue Yun.
