Chapter 3 Making a Move
"Luo He is so domineering?"
Silver Moon Godly King, Sea Demon Godly King, Tian Yi Godly King, Cold Forest Country Lord, and Dark Sky Venerable were all somewhat dumbfounded!
They were all in the Second Realm of Godly King, and there was even a Venerable from the Destruction Army among them! Luo He Godly King didn't take them seriously at all, intending to completely monopolize the entire territory of Shi Kingdom and even asked them if they had any objections?
"Luo He, you are being too domineering!" Cold Forest Country Lord rebuked angrily—he was a close friend of the Purple Wood Godly King from Tianmu Kingdom, and most forces on the Land of Origin had to show him some respect.
Dark Sky Venerable looked on with a cold gaze, merely observing Luo Feng.
"Luo He Godly King, we five are here, and yet you want to monopolize the entirety of Shi Kingdom? Isn't that too much?" Silver Moon Godly King spoke, "I think we can discuss this properly and divide Shi Kingdom among us, each of us taking a part."
Silver Moon Godly King had realized that the situation was turning unfavorable.
Dark Sky Venerable was already immensely strong and represented the Destruction Army. Luo He had just become a Godly King and could contend with the Emperor of Tian Kun. Now, he was in the Second Realm of Godly King, and his strength was unpredictable. Silver Moon Godly King no longer harbored hopes of monopolizing Shi Kingdom alone.
"Cold Forest Country and Blade River Sect are neighbors of Shi Kingdom, each having only one in the Second Realm of Godly King. The thirty Primal Chaos Prefectures adjacent to you belong to you," Silver Moon Godly King proposed, "The remaining Primal Chaos Prefectures belong to the three of us in the Second Realm, how about that?"
"135 Primal Chaos Prefectures, and Luo He and I each get 30, but you want to take 75?" Cold Forest Country Lord laughed bitterly, "Silver Moon, aren't your hopes too high?"
"We three Godly Kings in the Second Realm, averaging twenty to thirty Primal Chaos Prefectures each—it's not too much," Silver Moon Godly King reasoned.
"Cold Forest Country is a second-rate country as is; gaining some Primal Chaos Prefectures this time is already tremendous!" Tian Yi Godly King frowned as he spoke.
"I want at least 50 Primal Chaos Prefectures!" said Cold Forest Country Lord.
At the level of the Second Realm of Godly King, when they couldn't overpower each other, negotiations usually decided the division of interests.
"Gentlemen,"
Five silver-clothed Luo Fengs stood in the distance, looking at them, "I made myself clear—the entire territory of Shi Kingdom belongs to Blade River Sect! There's no room for negotiation!"
Silver Moon Godly King and Cold Forest Country Lord, who had already begun negotiating, were shocked and turned towards Luo Feng.
"If you disagree, old rules apply—strength will decide," Luo Feng said, looking at them, "You can invite as many friends as you like! For every friend you invite, I'll send an avatar! One on one guaranteed!"
"Arrogant!"
"That Luo He!"
Silver Moon Godly King and Cold Forest Country Lord were each furious.
This Luo He was too excessive, aiming to monopolize everything! Not even leaving them a drop of soup.
"Finally, I'll give you ten breaths to consider. If you don't leave, I'll make my move," the five silver-clothed Luo Fengs said coldly, watching them.
…
The confrontation within the territory of Shi Kingdom, gathering six Godly Kings in the Second Realm, naturally attracted attention from various forces across the Land of Origin.
"Cold Forest Country Lord is so mediocre, barely managing to protect his own country. And yet he dreams of occupying a part of Shi Kingdom?" Emperor Chu watched from afar, "Silver Moon pulling together two helpers, they think they can compete with my disciple?"
In terms of strength, deterrent power, and background, his disciple Luo Feng surpassed both Cold Forest Country Lord and Silver Moon Godly King.
In Emperor Chu's view, for his disciple Luo Feng with his current strength, merely occupying the current twenty Primal Chaos Prefectures was deemed too little! Occupying the territory of Shi Kingdom was just barely adequate for Luo Feng's capabilities.
"But this time, Luo He should reveal some of his strength," Emperor Chu said with a smile, watching. "The last time he released Blade Light, he defeated an ordinary Godly King in the Second Realm. It proves his high level! But that clearly wasn't all his strength." Continue your journey at empire
With his disciple advancing so
fast, Emperor Chu wasn't entirely sure about how powerful his disciple truly was.
…
"Since Tian Kun was killed, his neighbors and Silver Moon Godly King have started scheming to take over his domain." Di Yan also watched from a distance, unconcerned with the struggle over Shi Kingdom's territory.
Di Yan cared more about tracking down the murderer who had killed Tian Kun.
"The Land of Origin knows that Tian Kun was following me," Di Yan's gaze was icy, "The murderer didn't care about losing face with me and still killed Tian Kun and the others."
"That murderer…"
With a wave of his hand, an image of a man in a black robe and a golden mask appeared before Di Yan, the man's presence profound, also mixed with great terror.
"Who exactly are you?" Di Yan's brow furrowed.
Just from seeing this image, Di Yan instinctively felt a significant threat.
"In Wind City, the Shadow Sky Realm, the Earth God King, Fire Ancestor, Zongfu—none of them have posed such a threat to me," Di Yan observed. "You're well-hidden, but as long as you care about resources, acting repeatedly will ultimately expose you."
Di Yan continued to watch the battle.
"This Luo He has high potential; if left uncontrolled, he might become another Zongfu!" Di Yan watched, "It's a pity, Emperor Chu is protecting him, and it seems Di Fu also highly regards Luo He."
Di Fu had even assigned Luo Feng to garrison the Heavenly Pillar Realm, clearly indicating his stance.
"As a member of the Imperial Clan, yet favoring independent cultivators." Di Yan bore hostility toward all independent cultivators, but alas, even if he were in the position of the ancestors of two countries, favoring independent cultivators, he couldn't change it.
…
One by one, powerhouses on the Land of Origin, including those on good terms with Luo Feng like the Wind City Empress, Emperor Gui Xu, Wuxin Godly King, and Yu Shui Country Master, were watching the battle, as were Di Chuying and Emperor Chu Yu, who were using the recorded images from Flame Wind Pavilion to watch this confrontation.
"I wonder how much strength my disciple will reveal this time," said Mountain Sitting Guest in Thunder Ancient Country, also watching the battle through images recorded by Thunderclap Commerce.
******
At this moment, in the high-altitude area around the capital city of Shi Kingdom, invisible fluctuations were already clashing.
The Power of the World suppressed the surroundings, and forces of destruction, icy chills, and surging waters all resisted—the three Godly Kings in the Second Realm and Cold Forest Country Lord and Dark Sky Venerable were all ready to engage.
It wasn't possible that a few words from Luo Feng would make them slink away!
"Luo He, it's better for all of us if we divide Shi Kingdom together!" Silver Moon Godly King continued to speak.
"Ten breaths are up!" All five silver-clothed Luo Fengs extended their hands, and a Blade Light appeared in each palm.
This blade light,
At first glance, it was pitch black with edges that shimmered in azure blue.
Chaos Hole Undying Light! It was nurtured within Luo He's inner world; the stronger the inner world, the more blade light it could accumulate, and the "Chaos Hole Undying Light" could be refined to higher levels.
After reaching the Twenty-four Phase Form World Life Form, the inner worlds of the five avatars had become much stronger. Although they weren't as potent as the True Body, they all possessed some traits of an Ultimate Realm Life Form.
With such inner worlds, the might of the "Chaos Hole Undying Light" could be well imagined.
The Silver Moon Godly King, along with the three others, Cold Forest Country Lord, and Dark Sky Venerable, felt their hearts pound instinctively at the sight of the five pitch-black blade lights in the palms of Luo He's five avatars.
"Go!" Five Silver-clothed Luo Hes released the blade lights simultaneously.
Shooo shooo shooo shooo shooo!
The moment the five pitch-black blade lights were released, they immediately reached the Five Second Realm Godly Kings.
Too fast, impossible to dodge!
"Puh!"
In a split second, the Cold Forest Country Lord was bisected from his waist, a look of terror in his eyes! The blade light had swelled enormously, and with the first strike, it immediately obliterated a significant portion of the Cold Forest Country Lord's Divine Power Reserve. The blade light flashed again, continuing to cut through.
"If it strikes two more times, won't I be utterly dead?" Terrified, the Cold Forest Country Lord immediately abandoned his True Body. His resurrection carrier, far within the borders of Tianmu Kingdom, had already awakened.
Chaos Hole Undying Light!
Its pursuit was to cut through all things. While it pursued the ultimate sharpness, it was somewhat inferior in terms of erosion and obliteration. Usually, it relied on the blade light slicing multiple times, eroding repeatedly, to completely obliterate a body.
This was Luo He's kindness!
Chaos Hole Undying Light, cutting over and over again, giving the enemy enough time to resurrect through their 'resurrection carrier.'
If it were a technique like "Great Extinction Style," with its overwhelming destructive erosion, a weaker Second Realm Godly King might be obliterated in one move, without even a chance for rebirth.
After all, it was just a struggle for territories; there was no need to be too harsh! Moreover... Luo He hadn't planned on revealing the Great Extinction Style yet. With his formidable stature, ordinary techniques were sufficient.
Like Chaos Hole Undying Light, it was also an integration technique of the five major branches, strong enough.
"Puh."
The Sea Demon Godly King, whose body was comprised of endless water flows, was sliced by a huge blade light, and a portion of his water flow divine power was instantly annihilated. This frightened the Sea Demon Godly King.
"Just one hit, and two-tenths of the divine power in this avatar has been destroyed?" The Sea Demon Godly King was shocked, although it was just one of his ordinary avatars, Luo He had also merely sent an avatar.
Both were Second Realm Godly Kings, both using avatars, yet the disparity was so vast?
"Puh puh puh." This swath of blade light, condensed from endless blade lights, inherently had a terrifying energy reserve and self-recovery ability. It moved extremely quickly, continuously slaying.
"How terrifying is this blade light?" In the blink of an eye, this body of the Sea Demon Godly King was completely obliterated.
"Silver Moon, Luo He is too strong. Let's withdraw." The true body of Sea Demon Godly King, far away, sent a causation transmission.
"Puh."
The body of the Tian Yi Godly King flickered ethereally, and in the moment he was hit, he escaped trillions of kilometers away.
But the pursuing blade light flashed and had already caught up, sweeping across his ethereal body again.
"Huh huh huh." The ethereal body of Tian Yi Godly King flickered repeatedly, eerily elusive. But the swath of blade light completely locked on him, persistently pursuing and attacking.
"Silver Moon, let's withdraw. This Luo He is too frightening," Tian Yi Godly King transmitted before saying, "I'm running first!"
Huh.
Subsequently, the avatar of Tian Yi Godly King, having already lost over half of its Divine Power Reserve, vanished in a flash, completely leaving the vast surrounding territory. Luo He's Chaos Hole Undying Light could no longer find the target.
Tian Yi Godly King traversed the Origin Dao of the Infinite; if truly fleeing long distances, Chaos Hole Undying Light couldn't lock on.
Within the range covered by the Power of Luo He's World, that was the actionable range for the Chaos Hole Undying Light.
"Brother Sea Demon's avatar is destroyed, Tian Yi's avatar escaped." Silver Moon Godly King was in his True Body, his massive true body contending against the terrifying blade light before him.
This swath of blade light cut everything.
Again and again, it left massive wounds on Silver Moon's body, eroding and damaging the body of the Silver Moon Godly King. But the wounds on Silver Moon Godly King also healed rapidly.
"This blade light..."
Dark Sky Venerable stood there, the blade light striking his body's black scale armor, merely causing one or two black scales to shatter, but they healed in an instant. Dark clouds rose around the Dark Sky Venerable, attempting to entangle the blade light.
But the blade light, much faster than the movement of the godly kings, rapidly and unpredictably sliced through the body of the Dark Sky Venerable, each time a few scales shattering then rapidly healing.
"Now, only you two are left." Five Silver-clothed Luo Hes looked at Dark Sky Venerable and Silver Moon Godly King.
Luo He also sensed the difference in strength.
Dark Sky Venerable was indeed the most terrifying existence in the Destruction Army! His own "Chaos Hole Undying Light" was merely tickling him.
Silver Moon Godly King's strength was mediocre, unable to withstand his Chaos Hole Undying Light, but his body's life force was exceedingly tenacious.
"Go." Luo He waved his hand.
Five pitch-black blade lights simultaneously assaulted Silver Moon Godly King.
"Five attacking me?" Silver Moon Godly King's expression changed. He couldn't even block one swift, elusive blade light, only able to withstand it forcefully. Five blade lights ganging up?
"This Luo He is not easy to mess with." Silver Moon Godly King clenched his teeth, instantly turning into a streak of light diving into the Void, even though he was instantly hit by dozens of strikes from the five blade lights' collaborative attack, scattering hair and blood into the sky. Yet, Silver Moon Wolf King still forcefully escaped.
He didn't want the territory of the Eater King anymore!
With Luo He Godly King as a neighbor, he couldn't defend his territory.
"Dark Sky Venerable, only you are left now." The five Silver-clothed Luo Hes, watching the Silver Moon Godly King, smiled faintly. All five blade lights returned, being absorbed back into their inner worlds.
