Chapter 58: Chapter 55: Bounty
Luo Feng was originally enjoying the battle while drinking wine, as there might be conflicts between Shi Kingdom's forces in the future due to his master, the Mountain sitting guest. However, he had no significant hostility towards other cultivators from Shi Kingdom.
But when they began slaughtering the weak True Gods, Luo Feng's killing intent surged.
"It's each to their own when nations battle, but to slaughter the weak… what a bunch of scum!" Luo Feng's eyes grew cold as he started searching for 'Yutian Yi's' bounty in the Flame Wind Association's Dark Hall.
The bounties in Huyang City listed were all from the Flame Wind Association's Huyang branch! Other large cities or even other nations would not actively send bounties to all clients.
"Yutian Yi's bounty amounts to 500,000 Cosmic Sands?" Luo Feng instantly looked it up and immediately accepted the bounty.
Not everyone could have a bounty, for even the lowest reward required "ten thousand Cosmic Sands." If the mission wasn't completed, the bounty would have to remain with the Flame Wind Pavilion. Thus, the vast majority of eternal true gods had no bounty at all.
Up till now, Luo Feng had no bounty on him.
"This Lord Luo He, just with his domain moves, could kill a top-level eternal true god. Is his Mechanical Stream Secret Treasure quite special?" Yutian Yi speculated.
Some composite Mechanical Stream Secret Treasures could refine Divine Power to match the Primal Chaos Divine Power, and when deploying the Primal Chaos moves, they could display such might.
"Before his death, the Blood Python Association Leader transmitted a message saying that Luo He's Mechanical Stream Secret Treasure is worth at least five million Cosmic Sands—perhaps it's true," Yutian Yi thought, which stirred her interest.
Yutian Yi glanced below, where at this moment, she only had one subordinate left alive, which was the eternal true god who controlled thunder.
This eternal true god, who possessed the Mechanical Stream Secret Treasure 'Core of Thunder,' had cultivated it through long years to reach an extremely high potential.
In terms of strength, he was not inferior to the Blood Python Association Leader.
But now, with the Huyang City Formation suppressing him and being oppressed by the Primal Chaos Domain of Sha Wu Wings, he fell to the ground, bound and compressed by the Primal Chaos currents, unable to move.
"Lord Yutian, save me!" the eternal true god cried out for help through mental transmission.
Whoosh!
Streams of snow-white silk threads condensed in the void, wrapping around the eternal true god and swiftly flying him away.
"You go first; I'll try this Lord Luo He," Yutian Yi, with her Frost Body, stood in mid-air and transmitted from afar.
"Be careful, Lord Yutian," the fleeing Thunder eternal true god sighed in relief.
"Escape?"
Luo Feng, standing at the temple door, moved. With just one step, using the 'Myriad Realms Escape Command' he had obtained from Ying Cang, he instantly teleported through the void emerging near the Thunder eternal true god wrapped in abundant snow-white silk threads.
"No—" The Thunder eternal true god couldn't believe that Luo Feng had suddenly appeared beside him.
"Hmph!"
Luo Feng extended his hand, his five fingers sharp as blades, piercing through the wrapped snow-white silk threads and directly into the chest of the eternal true god, seizing his True God's Heart.
Thump!
The True God's Heart shattered!
Luo Feng also collected the corpse and leftover items, with the snow-white silk threads naturally dissolving into nothingness.
Then, Luo Feng looked towards Yutian Yi in the distance.
Yutian Yi didn't care about the death of her subordinate. She stared at Luo Feng and said, "Traversing the void? Does the city owner's mansion trust you that much to give you the power to traverse the void?"
Even when hiring strong warriors, the city owner's mansion usually remained cautious to prevent the hired from turning against them at the last moment!
"Yutian Yi, are you ready to die?" Luo Feng said.
"I haven't met an eternal true god who can kill me yet!" Yutian Yi sneered as she suddenly erupted with numerous Cold Ice Blades around her, blasting the massive Jin Xiao, the Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast, and the Sabre-Winged Devouring Insect away.
"I heard your blade technique has reached the level of the Chaos Realm? Conveniently, I also know a few blade techniques," Luo Feng said.
"You know blade techniques too?" Yutian Yi, with a flash, had already thrown off the massive Jin Xiao, the Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast, and the Sabre-Winged Devouring Insect.
This left Jin Xiao, Gaowu Shui, and others feeling somewhat exhausted as, even with controlling legion's Mechanical Stream Secret Treasures, they were still comprehensively outclassed by such a powerful eternal true god.
Three against one, even with the help of Huyang City Formation, they were suppressed! Now, shaking them off was also effortless.
"Die!"
Yutian Yi rushed to attack, concentrating nine Cold Ice Blades in front of her; the nine blades, seemingly able to cleave heaven and earth, enveloped her with an unrivaled might.
"Hmm?"
Luo Feng felt that the space around him was completely sealed; with the nine blades before him, there was no escape!
"Regarding sneak attacks and assassinations, Ying Cang has an advantage, but in a head-on battle, Yutian Yi is even more formidable," Luo Feng thought. Unable to avoid the confrontation, he didn't even try to, judging the opponent's momentum through the sensation of the Primal Chaos Domain.
Only when the nine Cold Ice Blades approached did Luo Feng suddenly charge upward, his eyes flashing fiercely, "Ten Directions Infinite!"
Facing the assault of the nine incoming Cold Ice Blades, Luo Feng used his godly body as a blade, executing the only purely defensive blade technique from 'World Breaking Nine Blades' called 'Ten Directions Infinite Blade'!
"Buzz buzz buzz~~~" Luo Feng's entire godly body was like a blade, horrific vigor circulating on the surface forming thick layers of blade shadows.
The blade shadows layered heavily, making Luo Feng's figure appear blurry!
"Hmph."
Yutian Yi was confident in her strength, and the nine Cold Ice Blades aimed to slice through everything, chopping down on Luo Feng!
As these blades cut through the layers of blade shadows, their power was significantly reduced, and when they finally struck Luo Feng's godly body, the skin of his thrice-refined Perfect Divine Body showed only some marks, which disappeared almost instantly, leaving no trace of any wounds.
"Using the physical body to execute Ten Directions Infinite Blade, to withstand her blade techniques, it still broke the skin a bit," Luo Feng thought.
After over two decades of cultivation, Luo Feng was much stronger than when he had first encountered Ying Cang. Thus, he did not use the 'Duan Mie' to burn Divine Power, merely displaying the capabilities of his thrice-refined Perfect Divine Body.
This scene made Yutian Yi, who had been attacking fiercely, suddenly stop, somewhat shocked, "What kind of protective maneuver is this? The heavy blade shadows protecting him, my proud ultimate move, couldn't even injure him?"
"Ten Directions Infinite Blade is still not strong enough," Luo Feng thought.
'World Breaking Nine Blades' eternal level six blades became increasingly complex the further one progressed; apart from the earlier Blade of Life and Death, Return to Ruins Saber, and Reincarnation Blade which were relatively simple, the subsequent 'Three Aspects Shadow Blade,' 'Heavens Split in Five Directions Blade,' and 'Ten Directions Infinite Blade' all involved multiple integrations of concepts, deepening Luo Feng's understanding of the Laws of Primal Chaos.
But it was still far from the true Chaos Realm Saber Technique.
"Luo He, it seems you have a set of combined Mechanical Stream Secret Treasures, adept in domain, protection, and fleeing…" Yutian Yi sneered coldly, "What skill is there in relying on treasures? I'm not playing with you today."
Whoosh!
Yutian Yi immediately soared into the sky!
"Thinking of leaving?" Luo Feng instantly traversed the Void, suddenly appearing right in front of Yutian Yi as she flew.
"I knew you would traverse the Void!" Yutian Yi was well-prepared; at a thought, countless snow-white threads interwoven into a vast net-like trap enveloped Luo Feng, trapping him while she swiftly flew toward the distant night sky.
A blade suddenly appeared in Luo Feng's hand, the endless might contained within his thrice-refined body fully infused into this emperor-level Blade Embryo.
Blade light flashed!
A blade light that seemed to tear the heavens and the earth emerged, ripping apart the snow-white net and aiming to tear through the fleeing Yutian Yi! With a nimble dodge, Yutian Yi barely avoided most of it, but her arm was merely grazed by the blade light and was instantly annihilated.
The might of this blade shocked Yutian Yi, "How can it be so powerful? He seems even more fierce than my second brother!"
Luo Feng followed the blade light, his thrice-refined Perfect Divine Body providing terrifying speed, coupled with the Myriad Realms Escape Command's control over space, he rapidly closed the distance, Yutian Yi couldn't evade!
"This is bad!" Yutian Yi felt an unstoppable terrifying figure crashing into her!
Bang!!!
The Frost Body was smashed apart, completely shattering. Luo Feng moved through her exploded body before finally stopping, his brow slightly furrowed as he looked around.
"She crafted a Frost Body to come and assassinate me. Her true body isn't actually here," Luo Feng carefully sensed all directions, "Moreover, she is not within my Primal Chaos Domain."
Her true body hiding away, the one coming to battle was merely a body condensed from the Power of Frost, making it too difficult to kill her.
This was merely a maneuver by an eternal true god.
Those ancient Primal Chaos Overlords would spend much thought on life-saving secret laws and even reincarnation techniques.
Even a Godly King wouldn't dare claim they could completely kill a Primal Chaos Overlord. They might seem dead on the surface, but could resurrect somewhere, or maybe even reincarnate.
Like Master Mountain sitting guest, who chose reincarnation, severing karma through reincarnation. Unless he exposed himself, no one would recognize him. Thus, the rulers of Shi Kingdom have a formidable hidden enemy!
Invading and annexing other Divine Kingdoms come with many problems. Choosing this path, Shi Kingdom must be prepared to deal with these 'problems.'
"This time, out of the five eternal true gods from Shi Kingdom, only three were killed," Luo Feng landed, "Truly killing them is indeed not easy."
"Lord Luo He."
"The attacking forces of Shi Kingdom are completely routed," the giant Jin Xiao, Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast, and Sabre-Winged Devouring Insect arrived excitedly, truly deserving of the title Lord Luo He, utterly overpowering with just one move.
Luo Feng wasn't very excited, having accepted Yutian Yi's bounty, still unable to deal with her effectively.
"Such a powerful battle fluctuation." Luo Feng sensed other terrifying fluctuations erupting far from Huyang City, "Especially the one southwest, there must be a battle between two supremely powerful beings. Without burning Divine Power, I might fall short of them."
The terrible confrontation in that southwest area exceeded the level of Yutian Yi and Ying Cang.
"Moli Xiao, I sense intense fighting in the southwest area of Huyang City, do you need my help?" Luo Feng transmitted, "I've already routed Shi Kingdom's forces here."
