"Now we're in big trouble."
At the Yan Feng Pavilion, both Pavilion Master Chu Yu and the Deputy Pavilion Master felt a shiver run down their spines. In the entire world, only God Kings and Chaos Realm beings are considered high-level powers, and each Chaos Peak existence is not to be insulted lightly. Even the royal descendants of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom wouldn't dare provoke them casually.
This is because Chaos Peak beings possess at least a Chaos Realm Peak level of mind and will, and may even have God King level will. If they choose to use reincarnation techniques, they can retain complete memories through rebirth. Who would dare rely on their background to mess with such an existence? If pushed to the brink, they could kill you outright and simply reincarnate. No matter how strong your background, you would never be able to identify their reincarnated self.
Moreover, there's an understanding on the Origin Continent: when Chaos Realm beings fight, God Kings won't intervene unless there's a compelling reason. So outside the two ancient kingdoms, Chaos Peak beings represent the highest deterrent power under normal circumstances.
"We can't help him," the Deputy Pavilion Master shook his head. "Luo He is too reckless. When you're weak, why provoke others out of impulsive pride?"
"Maybe he thought he could protect himself," Pavilion Master Chu Yu frowned. "But the strength of a Chaos Peak existence is terrifying, countless times stronger than a newly ascended Chaos Realm."
"Damn it." Over at the City Lord's Mansion, General Yue Wu's expression changed.
"Even if it's just to save face, Liu Yin Hou will have to make a move," General Yong Hu added.
"I'm worried that Liu Yin Hou will take out his anger on the entire Huyang City," General Yue Wu said.
General Yong Hu looked at Yue Wu in shock.
"Liu Yin Hou is known as a 'World Catastrophe,'" General Yue Wu explained. "Whenever he takes action, it signals a disaster. And after such a disgrace, his retaliation will only be more ruthless."
"Don't worry," General Yue Wu sighed, "my master has given me a life-saving treasure. In a critical moment, I'll take you away. But I can't protect the entire Huyang City."
Yong Hu nodded immediately, realizing how fortunate they were. Even though they were all disciples of the Yu Kingdom's ruler, Yue Wu received treatment ten times better than the rest, even possessing life-saving treasures.
"Did Master kill Liu Yin Yan? Is Liu Yin Hou going to retaliate?" Mo Yu Qing Yan, now deeply worried for his master, couldn't help but look at Moroza beside him.
"Don't panic," Moroza reassured him, looking up. He knew his master's strength better than anyone, having sparred with Luo Feng multiple times over the recent period.
The dark red armored figure in the sky looked at Luo Feng with cold eyes. "Good, I hope you remain this confident when you're about to die."
With that, the figure dissolved into nothing, disappearing into the heavens.
Luo Feng turned his gaze towards the distant Xin Ying Sect's residence.
"Boom!"
A terrifying, oppressive aura erupted from the Xin Ying Sect's location. Liu Yin Hou's true body had already arrived, using the time-space treasure he had bestowed upon the Xin Ying Sect.
"He's here," Luo Feng remarked, observing the opponent.
"He's here," noted Pavilion Master Chu Yu, the Deputy Pavilion Master, Jiu Jiang Hou, and others, all feeling the fearsome aura emanating from the Xin Ying Sect's location.
Liu Yin Hou stood at the Xin Ying Sect's residence, looking up at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng looked back at him.
"You've got guts," Liu Yin Hou said softly.
Then he vanished into thin air.
In an instant, the entire sky darkened, and endless blood fire spread out, resembling a network of veins extending across the sky.
"What's happening?"
Countless cultivators in Huyang City looked up in horror as the blood fire spread across the sky, turning it completely dark red. Under this dark red sky, the aura of disaster spread, and just looking at it made the cultivators feel that 'death' was approaching.
At the Xin Ying Sect, the sect master and the eighteen elders gazed up at the scene.
"When the Lord granted me the time-space treasure, it was to quickly arrive and deal with Jiu Jiang Hou," the sect master noted. "Who would have thought Luo He would seek death by provoking the Lord?"
"Doesn't Luo He have some reliance, to be so arrogant?" one elder asked.
"Among the Chaos Lords, those who can be called 'Chaos Peak' are extremely rare. Liu Yin Hou is on par with
The Xin Ying Sect had declined due to Jiu Yuan Da Sheng. Elder Xin Yan and others had thoroughly studied the differences between Chaos Realm beings and knew how terrifying Jiu Yuan Da Sheng and Liu Yin Hou were.
"Liu Yin Hou only asked him to return the Snow Domain Envoy and compensate with 10 billion Universe Sands."
"Chaos Realm beings are difficult to kill. We'll see how strong Luo He's life-saving techniques are."
The Xin Ying Sect watched closely.
In conflicts of this magnitude, they could only keep their distance. When Jiu Yuan Da Sheng fought the three Chaos Realm beings of the Xin Ying Sect, they had watched from afar as the sect's great formation was breached, resulting in one death and two escapes.
Luo Feng watched the dark red sky, spreading across billions of miles, its aura of disaster pervasive.
Suddenly—
A gigantic face appeared in the dark red sky—it was the face of Liu Yin Hou.
"This is my world. Can your life-saving technique escape from my world?" the giant face looked at Luo Feng. "As for reincarnation? You, a newly ascended Chaos Realm, do you think you can awaken your memories after reincarnation?"
Only a God King level will can remain awake, even during the fetal stage.
Chaos Peak willpower might awaken after reincarnation, but the timing is uncertain—it could be in childhood, as a Void True God, or even as an Eternal True God. If one dies again before 'awakening memory,' that would be true death.
"Liu Yin Hou, did you ask my permission before making a move?" a voice rang out.
Jiu Jiang Hou suddenly appeared in the sky above Huyang City, standing beside Luo Feng.
He looked up at the dark red sky.
"Hmm~~~"
Suddenly, the void rippled, with space-time waves obscuring and covering the dark red sky, making it appear blurry.
"Luo He, while I'm engaging Liu Yin Hou, you should leave now," Jiu Jiang Hou glanced at Luo Feng, transmitting, "Take your friends and leave quickly. I can't hold him off for long. Liu Yin Hou is furious, and he may take his anger out on the entire Huyang City."
"Of course, if I win, that would be ideal," Jiu Jiang Hou smiled, then completely disappeared, merging into the void.
Jiu Jiang Hou knew his chances of victory were slim, but he still wanted to fight and settle the matter once and for all.
Who is stronger and who is weaker? Let's find out through combat!
"Boom~~~"
The blood fire world surged with terrifying power, but it was also suppressed by an invisible ripple that covered the blood fire world.
"Jiu Jiang Hou, do you think you can stop me?" Suddenly, thousands of blood fire figures appeared—thousands of Liu Yin Hou, each one slashing with a blood fire blade, instantly tearing through the space-time ripples.
"Perish."
With a cold shout, a net of void suddenly appeared, slicing through the thousands of Liu Yin Hou, cutting them all to pieces.
Luo Feng watched the scene unfold.
"In terms of realm, both of them surpass me," Luo Feng observed their combat, sensing the gap between them. In terms of realm, both Liu Yin Hou and Jiu Jiang Hou had incomparably profound techniques, far superior to Luo Feng's straightforward moves. He couldn't even lock onto their true bodies.
"As strength increases, it's not just about power; the techniques become increasingly mysterious," Luo Feng observed carefully. Although he had a lot of information on Chaos Realm beings, it was nothing compared to witnessing it firsthand.
In the epoch since becoming Chaos Realm, the only other Chaos Realm being Luo Feng had sparred with was Moroza.
"Luo He, why aren't you leaving?" Pavilion Master Chu Yu urgently transmitted. "Jiu Jiang Hou is holding off the enemy—now's your chance to escape."
"I want to see what's really going on," Luo Feng replied.
"You... you're too confident. Here's the most detailed intelligence on Liu Yin Hou." Seeing that Luo Feng was unmoved, Emperor Chu Yu sent a detailed report. "Liu Yin Hou is known as a 'World Catastrophe.' His true body at this moment isn't any physical form, but the blood fire world itself! The world is him, and he is the world."
Luo Feng reviewed the information on Liu Yin Hou.
The intelligence from Emperor Chu Yu was extremely detailed, including numerous battle records.
Luo Feng, being relatively poor, had only been able to afford basic intelligence on such Chaos Peak beings.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master," Luo Feng transmitted his gratitude.
"Luo He, why aren't you leaving? I can't hold him off any longer!" Jiu Jiang Hou's voice was urgent.
"Boom, boom, boom~~~"
The entire blood fire world seemed to boil, with destruction everywhere. Hidden within the void, Jiu Jiang Hou was burning divine power, struggling to resist.
"Jiu Jiang Hou, if you can't hold him off, then leave it to me," Luo Feng smiled.
"Leave it to you?" Hidden in the void, Jiu Jiang Hou was shocked.
Luo Feng stood calmly, looking up at the boundless blood fire world.
Boom~~~"
A rolling silver river instantly swept across an incomparably vast area, its scale rivaling that of the blood fire world.
Every cultivator in Huyang City felt the presence of the silver river, flowing through every road, every residential area, perfectly protecting the city from the blood fire world.
"I've trained in fifteen transformation techniques. For large-scale moves, the 'Galaxy Transformation' is the most suitable," Luo Feng thought.
During the past epoch, he had visited the Chaos Layer again and captured some more Chaos Layer creatures.
So, he had elevated his transformation techniques to 'fifteen types.'
However, Luo Feng only used five types of transformation techniques on himself.
"Rise."
With a single thought from Luo Feng.
A vast and mighty array of silver blades rose into the air—eight thousand blades in total, all suspended in the sky.
"Hmm?"
Transformed into the boundless blood fire world, Liu Yin Hou was puzzled by the scene. These eight thousand blades seemed mighty, yet they didn't burn with divine power.
"Slash!" Luo Feng commanded, looking skyward.
Eight thousand Galaxy Blades simultaneously unleashed the 'Blade River Slash,' a move Luo Feng had created as his realm gradually accumulated. Blade River Slash pursued simplicity and purity, with Luo Feng removing some complex transformations and even any focus on spatial targeting, only seeking the most basic power!
As a result, Blade River Slash placed minimal strain on his mind.
Additionally, after Luo Feng's Perfect God Body grew to its limit, nourished by his flesh, his soul became even more powerful, allowing him to control more blades.
Through comprehensive refinement, Luo Feng could now control eight thousand blades with a single thought.
Boom~~~"
Even without targeting space, the move maintained pure power.
When the eight thousand blades simultaneously erupted, layers of space instantly shattered, offering no resistance. Where the blades struck, everything was annihilated, all returning to chaos.
Under the onslaught of the blades, every layer of space was obliterated, even reaching the outer membrane of the entire world.
This membrane layer was the Canglong Membrane.
Under the ravaging of eight thousand blades, the Canglong Membrane remained incredibly tough and unyielding. Purely relying on power alone to break through it? That wasn't enough!
"This—"
But whether it was Jiu Jiang Hou, Pavilion Master Chu Yu, or Liu Yin Hou facing the devastating eight thousand blades, they were all stunned.
The eight thousand blades ravaged an area spanning trillions of kilometers, shattering every layer of space until only the final Canglong Membrane remained. Even the 'Blood Fire World' was partially destroyed in an instant.
In this vast area, unless one could fuse with the Canglong Membrane, there was no escape! The only option was to withstand the attack head-on!
"You actually injured me?"
Since being able to transform into the Blood Fire World, Liu Yin Hou hadn't been injured for a long time.
"You're not a newly ascended Chaos Realm being." As the eight thousand blades receded and the Blood Fire World reformed, a gigantic face looked at Luo Feng, "You have Chaos Peak strength."
Luo Feng, clad in a
