“Don’t think that just because you’re Emperor Chu’s disciple, you can escape punishment.”
Yan Su had been in the Chaos Realm for an immensely long time, and he understood the thirteen emperors of the Ancient Flame Kingdom well.
The thirteen emperors of the Ancient Flame Kingdom faced few external threats, but their internal conflicts were incredibly fierce.
Except for Emperor Qing, who remained somewhat aloof, the other twelve emperors were in intense conflict.
If not for the suppression of the Flame Wind Ancestor, they might have long since engaged in a life-and-death struggle.
In such internal strife, even though Luo Feng was Emperor Chu’s personal disciple, it would be difficult for him to escape severe punishment.
“I never said I would try to avoid punishment.”
Luo Feng laughed heartily.
“Yan Su, there’s no need to delay. Prepare to die.”
Yan Su’s face twisted in rage.
Suddenly, two divine drills glowing with vibrant colors appeared around his body.
As soon as these two drills appeared, a void array diagram formed under Yan Su’s feet.
The two divine drills were the core of the array diagram.
The two divine drills, carrying the array diagram, exploded with terrifying destructive power, forcibly tearing apart the surging black river.
From afar, Luo Feng’s towering figure observed the scene.
“With these Divine King weapons in his hands, his strength has at least doubled.
Unfortunately, he’s still inferior to Great Sage Biyun.”
The endless black river continuously flooded forward.
Yan Su struggled desperately, despair filling his heart.
“The gap in strength is too great.”
Although he had anticipated this result, Yan Su was still filled with grief and anger.
He was skilled at using the void to fight enemies, but Luo Feng’s black river world had even stronger control over its internal space, completely suppressing some of his domain techniques.
Going head-to-head? The difference was even more immense.
Yan Su’s mastery over the two void divine drills allowed him to struggle for only a few moments.
Faced with the overwhelming force of the black river, he was eventually completely annihilated.
This fully intact avatar of his lasted only a few seconds, while the two weaker avatars he had in the city were instantly destroyed, unable to put up any resistance.
Xiangjie City, although a border city, was still guarded by a Chaos Realm transcendent, making it a relatively safe place.
Over the long years, many cultivators had gathered there, and even trade between the two ancient kingdoms often took place in border cities, making trade quite prosperous.
“Is that General Yan Su?”
“And the other figure… Could it be Luo He, the Great Sage?”
Inside Xiangjie City, thousands of eternal true gods also noticed that the sky had darkened in an instant, and the entire city was covered by an endless black river.
They immediately realized that something significant was happening.
When they looked up and saw Luo Feng’s towering figure, facing off against General Yan Su in the sky, they couldn’t hear their conversation, but most of them recognized the identities of these renowned figures from Origin Continent.
“Something big is happening.”
“A monumental event!”
These eternal true gods were all filled with fear.
In the long years before, General Yan Su had been the ruler of the city, the most fearsome presence in Xiangjie City.
His will was the will of the entire city.
But now, the ‘heaven’ of Xiangjie City had encountered an even more terrifying being.
“General Yan Su is a Chaos Realm transcendent, comparable to a newly ascended Divine King.
Even with the help of a formation, he can’t stand against Luo He, the Great Sage?”
“They’re fighting, but there’s not even a trace of the aftershocks?”
“The aftershocks of their battle are being blocked by the black river!”
Those with some knowledge could all sense the terror of the black river.
In the blink of an eye, it had covered every corner of the city, and even now it was rapidly eroding and engulfing General Yan Su.
“It’s over, the battle is over.”
These eternal true gods, whether they were members of the city guard, traders from the two ancient kingdoms, or those with significant backgrounds, all let out a sigh of relief.
When two terrifying beings clashed, if they didn’t control the aftershocks well, everyone in the city could die!
Now that the battle had ended, all they felt was relief.
In the distant sky, far from Xiangjie City, a figure crossed the void.
It was a simple avatar of Yan Su.
This ordinary avatar of Yan Su looked into the distance at Xiangjie City, where the black river world covered the entire city without leaving any gaps.
“There’s no way to fight him.
The gap is too large.
Luo He’s strength… it’s undoubtedly the number one in the Chaos Realm transcendent level!
Even compared to the first level of Divine Kings, he’s likely among the strongest.”
Yan Su sighed inwardly.
A sense of helplessness filled his heart.
The gap was so vast that he couldn’t even muster the will to fight.
That was why, upon seeing Luo Feng, he had immediately been willing to apologize and resolve their grudge.
However, Luo Feng’s demand for his pair of void divine drills was something Yan Su simply could not accept.
“My most prized possession is this pair of Divine King weapons, and now they’ve been taken.”
Yan Su was filled with grief.
Aside from this, he had no other treasures of value left.
This pair of Divine King weapons was as important to him as the Star Tower and Blood Shadow Blade were to Luo Feng.
How could he not feel heartache at such a loss?
Now that I’ve lost the Divine King weapons, I no longer have a weakness.”
Yan Su’s eyes turned cold.
“This fight with Luo He also proves that simply having strong survival abilities isn’t enough!
One’s killing power must also be strong!”
“Like Luo He, who already has such power at the Chaos Realm transcendent level.
Once he becomes a Divine King and improves in all aspects…
He will likely become one of the rulers of Origin Continent in a short time.”
Yan Su thought to himself.
Having lived for countless years and possessing great strength, he was well aware that the order on Origin Continent was determined by a group of ancient rulers.
Who could be called a ruler?
Someone with incredibly strong survival abilities, making it almost impossible to kill them on Origin Continent.
And they also had to possess terrifying combat strength.
Even the Snow Realm Ancestor couldn’t be called a ruler of Origin Continent!
That was because his combat strength was still somewhat lacking.
If he successfully cultivated the Primordial Bloodline and could fight on par with a Divine King at the second level, he would be considered a ruler.
At that point, the Two Realms Palace would likely invite him to join.
In the eyes of the true rulers, even though they couldn’t kill the Snow Realm Ancestor, he posed no threat to them—just a minor irritation.
“Many Divine Kings at the first level have either died or been forced to reincarnate over the long river of time.”
“But Luo He has such deep roots.”
Yan Su was well aware of this, and many forces on Origin Continent also understood it.
Even Luo Feng himself knew it, and so did that being in the Two Realms Palace, who was filled with hate but powerless to act.
It was foreseeable that Luo He would become a Divine King.
It was foreseeable that once Luo He became a Divine King, he would quickly rise to become a ruler of Origin Continent!
Far surpassing his current power.
But who could stop his growth?
“Luo He, you attacked a border city, and it’s a city guarding the entrance to a world.
You will certainly pay a heavy price!
You’ve been a Chaos Realm transcendent for too short a time and don’t understand the madness of the emperors’ conflicts.
Once you’re involved, hmph…”
Yan Su watched from afar.
Suddenly, in the direction of Xiangjie City, the ground trembled violently.
Yan Su wasn’t surprised at all.
“Without me controlling the sealing formation, the creatures with Primordial Bloodlines inside that world will definitely try to break free.
If they really break out, your punishment will be ten times, a hundred times worse!”
At this moment, the ground in the distance was shaking.
Yan Su watched from afar, eagerly anticipating some Primordial Bloodline creatures breaking out.
That would be exciting!
Inside Xiangjie City.
After obliterating Yan Su’s complete avatar and two weaker ones, Luo Feng also collected his spoils.
“A pair of void divine drills.
Yan Su must be heartbroken.”
Luo Feng considered himself merciful.
He hadn’t provoked Yan Su, but Yan Su had deliberately targeted him.
Taking his treasures was just a small punishment.
If Yan Su didn’t know when to stop and continued to harass him, relying on his avatars, then once Luo Feng became a Divine King and his spiritual will became powerful enough, he wouldn’t hesitate to use the Lieu Yuan Technique to completely end him.
Of course, if Yan Su stopped here, Luo Feng wouldn’t waste any
“Now, the most important thing is the world entrance.”
With a single thought, Luo Feng caused the vast black world to shrink rapidly.
It shrank until it was only a few billion kilometers in range, sealing off the entire core of the city—the world entrance in the depths of an underground secret hall inside the Guardian’s Mansion.
This world entrance had originally been sealed by a formation, with Yan Su in charge of controlling it.
But now that the controller was gone, the formation’s power weakened, and the creatures with Primordial Bloodlines inside immediately sensed it.
“I don’t know how to control this formation.”
Breaking a formation wasn’t an easy task.
Yan Su had been the guardian general, and the Ancient Flame Kingdom had given him the formation talisman and taught him how to control it.
The thick membrane of the dark world sealed the entire world entrance.
The vast, rolling black river also enveloped the surroundings of the world entrance.
Luo Feng stood atop the black river.
Without a controller, the formation’s power had greatly diminished.
Some Primordial Bloodline creatures were forcing their way through the formation’s suppression, attacking the dark world membrane at the entrance.
Suddenly, a claw pierced through the membrane of the dark world.
But outside the membrane was the surging black river, which forced the claw back.
Loud bangs echoed continuously!
Under the double suppression of the weakened formation and the membrane of the black river world, the Primordial Bloodline creatures worked together and barely managed to break through the membrane, causing the ground to tremble with loud noises.
But the rolling black river easily pressed them back.
The membrane of the black river world instantly healed, continuing to envelop the Primordial Bloodline creatures.
“I thought I would have to act personally.”
Luo Feng watched the scene unfold.
This time, he had acted after thoroughly investigating the situation at the world entrance.
This world was known as Xiangjie.
Inside Xiangjie, the Flame Wind Ancestor had cultivated several creatures with Primordial Bloodlines.
Primordial Bloodlines originally came from true Primordial Life outside the Caged World!
The bloodline was so powerful and terrifying that even a Divine King, if touched directly, would be completely polluted and lose themselves.
Therefore, both the Flame Wind Ancestor and the Thunder Ancestor had raised some special creatures.
Many of these creatures weren’t native to Origin Continent.
Through natural reproduction, the ‘Primordial Bloodline’ was constantly diluted and weakened.
Inside Xiangjie, all the creatures were so-called Chaos Realm-level beings!
The golden-armored bug corpse that Luo Feng’s master had once gifted him was an exceptionally powerful Chaos Realm creature.
Even though it was a Chaos Realm creature, it possessed strength comparable to an ordinary Divine King.
“Inside Xiangjie are all Chaos Realm-level Primordial Bloodline creatures.
These are the weakest of the Primordial Bloodline creatures, with the most diluted bloodlines.”
“That’s why they only assigned one Chaos Realm transcendent to guard them.”
The Ancient Flame Kingdom also had creatures with stronger Primordial Bloodlines, born with Divine King-level strength.
However, those creatures were heavily imprisoned, guarded by powerful Divine Kings themselves.
“According to the records, Chaos Realm creatures, even with Primordial Bloodlines, generally aren’t as powerful as Chaos Realm transcendent beings who cultivate Primordial Bloodlines.”
Chaos Realm transcendent beings like the City Lord of Arid Wind had high intelligence and a high realm of understanding.
Their cultivation of Primordial Bloodlines made them a different kind of ‘Primordial Bloodline creature.’
“Suppressing Chaos Realm creatures is quite easy.”
With a single thought, Luo Feng merged countless black rivers into the membrane of the dark world.
When fifty billion black rivers had fused into the dark world, the Primordial Bloodline creatures could no longer break through the membrane.
“I had prepared for a personal battle.
I was even ready to use the Star Tower to suppress the world entrance.
But now, it seems… there’s no need.”
Luo Feng sat cross-legged.
He had attacked the border city and killed Yan Su.
The Ancient Flame Kingdom would only follow the law and impose some minor punishment.
It wouldn’t amount to much.
After all, on Origin Continent, disputes among the strong were normal.
But if a group of Primordial Bloodline creatures escaped, the punishment would be severe.
The Primordial Bloodline creatures, who had been furiously attacking the membrane of the dark world, soon gave up after realizing they couldn’t break through.
These low-intelligence, crazed creatures quickly dispersed.
“Now, we’ll see what kind of punishment the Ancient Flame Kingdom will impose.”
Luo Feng thought to himself.
At the same time, his avatar far away in the Chu Capital immediately went to pay a visit to his master, Emperor Chu.
