Chapter 112: 2 minutes and 38 seconds to win or lose
Many from the Primal Chaos Realm preferred to occupy a remote area and cultivate in peace. Great ones like Great Saint Jiuyuan, Great Saint Juefeng, and others did the same. They gave up many resources but also avoided many troubles.
Some of them went into complete hiding, disguised as ordinary cultivators, quietly cultivating and hoping that one day they would fully comprehend the Dao and step into the Godly King Tier.
"I attacked the Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos Prefecture, and I actually encountered a hidden Cultivator at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos?" Marquis Liu Yin felt that his luck was particularly bad, "and he even once proposed a hiring price of two billion Cosmic Sand."
If he had known he was a hidden Cultivator at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos, let alone two billion Cosmic Sand, even twenty billion Cosmic Sand Marquis Liu Yin would gladly have paid to hire him.
But now, everything was too late!
The situation had developed to this point, this hidden Cultivator Luo He, had completely moved to the opposition.
"This Brother Luo He, he's actually at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos?" Marquis of Jiu Jang, who had escaped and appeared inside the city owner's mansion, was utterly delighted.
One billion Cosmic Sand could hire someone from the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos?
What kind of luck is this?
"Luo He!"
In the dark crimson sky, that enormous face stared at Luo Feng, "As a hidden Cultivator of the Primal Chaos Realm, must you interfere in the conflict between Marquis of Jiu Jiang and me?"
"I originally had no intention of intervening. What does your feud over fiefs have to do with me?" Luo Feng shook his head lightly, "But your subordinates have repeatedly killed the innocent, and it happened within the city where I reside in seclusion. How could I tolerate this?"
Marquis Liu Yin's thoughts shifted.
Indeed!
Xue Yun committed a massacre originally, and in the end, Luo He chased him out of the city and still killed Xue Yun.
The Heartshadow Sect entered the city, and initially, Luo He was tolerant. But when the Heartshadow Sect began to loot the entire city and slaughter on a large scale, Luo He took action.
The two armies clashed! From start to finish, Luo He demonstrated the overwhelming strength of an eternal true god, taking one billion Cosmic Sand, and indeed played the role worthy of one billion Cosmic Sand. However, when Liu Yinyan captured ten billion Blood Food, Luo He made his move.
"A bunch of idiots, bringing me great trouble." Marquis Liu Yin looked down upon Luo Feng, and although he understood that the situation had turned sour, he was still full of confidence in himself.
"Luo He, no matter the reason, since you have intervened, I want to see whether you really have the power to interfere," Marquis Liu Yin's voice resonated powerfully.
Hum~~~
The sound, carrying a sinister attack of will, arrived in an instant.
Marquis Liu Yin, as a cultivator at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos, had his Spiritual Will honed over the long years to barely enter the Godly King Tier. Knowing Luo He's fearsome strength, he began to give his all.
"Your Secret Technique of Willpower, buzzing like an insect?" Luo Feng frowned slightly, "It's truly annoying!"
"His will is not at all inferior to mine, completely unshakable," Marquis Liu Yin became even more certain, this was an old fellow who had cultivated for who knows how long, his Spiritual Will honed to an extremely terrifying degree.
"If you have no tricks left, just scram."
Luo Feng flicked his sleeve.
Eight thousand Galaxy-like Blade Lights swept across, instantly sweeping the heavens and earth, cleansing all! The Bloodfire was all extinguished, leaving only a Primal Chaos Current.
While Marquis Liu Yin's incarnation of the Bloodfire World covered a vast area. Luo Feng's eight thousand Galaxy only impacted less than one-tenth of it, and even knowing Luo Feng's technique afterward, Marquis Liu Yin's Divine Power retreated to a far distance. The damage this time was much smaller than the first.
Accompanied by many spatial layers naturally healing, the world returned to calm, the Bloodfire World spread over once again.
"Hmph." Along with a cold snort in the world.
Then, Bloodfire ignited on Luo Feng's body surface as he carefully felt it.
To himself, he seemed to have become the 'enemy' of a vast world, endless malice converging upon him, with Bloodfire burning and corroding.
"No trace, eroding my body out of thin air?" Luo Feng looked in surprise, "Compared to my foolish eight thousand Blade Light, Marquis Liu Yin's technique is indeed much more bizarre."
"Useless?" The incarnation of the Bloodfire World, Marquis Liu Yin, indeed sensed that the Bloodfire could hardly damage Luo Feng's body.
Booming~~~~
Suddenly, the entire Bloodfire World erupted with booming sounds, the world's power of this 'Bloodfire World' nearly converged at one point, and in front of Luo Feng out of nowhere, a figure clad in dark crimson armor appeared.
The moment this dark crimson armored figure appeared, he had already chopped towards Luo Feng's shoulder! Luo Feng was quick to react; otherwise, the blow would have landed on his head.
"This is the World's Body?" Luo Feng had learned detailed information about Marquis Liu Yin from Emperor Chu Yu, knowing that this dark crimson armored figure... was not Marquis Liu Yin's True Body, but the 'World's Body' formed from the conjured power of the entire Bloodfire World.
The World's Body, gathering the power of an entire world, held immense strength, making close combat naturally terrifying. And even if it was destroyed, it would only disperse into the World's Force, not harming Marquis Liu Yin's True Body.
"Such a strong blade, and it appeared suddenly before me, hardly giving me any chance to dodge." Luo Feng still stood in midair, looking at the blade edge on his shoulder.
The dark crimson armored figure had struck Luo Feng's shoulder and was also astonished.
Because…
The blade hadn't even cut through Luo Feng's black robe on his shoulder! As for the skin, it was completely unscathed.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss~~~" Luo Feng's black robe on his body surface instantly had countless black liquids flowing, instantly enveloping the blade, and even enveloping the entire body of the dark crimson armored man.
"Engaging me in close combat?" Luo Feng shook his head lightly.
Of the fifteen Transformation Methods he mastered, apart from the 'Galaxy Transformation Method' that specialized in domain techniques, the other methods were oriented towards close combat. Luo Feng carefully selected five Transformation Methods to use regularly.
Thus, in regular combat, the Galaxy Transformation Method was used for long-range encounters, while the other four methods were for close combat.
Luo Feng's close combat strength was far more terrifying than his long-range capabilities.
"Hissss~~~~"
The man clad in dark red armor wrapped in black liquid, under the horrific constraints of immense force, disintegrated instantly, leaving only the long blade with blood-fire patterns behind.
"What a fine weapon," Luo Feng said, holding the blade.
For the 'Body of the World' to have enough explosive close combat strength, Marquis Liu Yin naturally equipped it with the best weapon, which was a top-quality weapon among those in the Primal Chaos Realm.
"This blade, suitable for a Pinnacle of Primal Chaos cultivator, is worth at least five billion Cosmic Sand," Luo Feng commented approvingly, then quickly stowed it away in the Star Tower.
Luo Feng looked up at the Bloodfire World high in the sky.
"Marquis Liu Yin, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?" Luo Feng asked leisurely.
"How is that possible?"
At that moment, Marquis Liu Yin couldn't believe it. "My World's Body, empowered by the entire strength of the Bloodfire World, immensely powerful, yet it was so easily overcome by that black liquid?"
The oppressive binding force crushed the World's Body instantaneously.
The gap in close combat was too vast.
"No wonder I thought his techniques were crude; it turns out he specializes in his physical body, which is far stronger than my World's Body," Marquis Liu Yin instantly recognized their disparity.
Every Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm cultivator has their own path they excel in.
Marquis Liu Yin's forte was transforming into the Bloodfire World, rendering his true body untouchable by enemies.
Yet, if one focused on physical prowess and cultivated to the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm, their physical body would be tremendously terrifying. Even ancient beings who had just entered the Godly King Tier found it incredibly challenging to completely obliterate a physical body at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm.
Such powerful beings were suited for confinement, sealing; typically, they required a long period of attrition to gradually erase them.
"Your godly body is strong, but I want to see if it truly has no weaknesses!" Marquis Liu Yin, unwilling to give up easily, let the Bloodfire World surge vehemently, as formless forces constantly descended, attempting to penetrate Luo Feng's godly body.
These formless forces included strange blood, burning flames, and the power of calamities...
All sorts of bizarre forces kept infiltrating.
Marquis Liu Yin knew well that while some powerful physical bodies appeared invincible, if infiltrated by some special forces, they might just succeed and completely erode them.
"You want to wear down my godly body? Hahaha..." Luo Feng suddenly burst into laughter.
Boom~~~
Luo Feng's stature suddenly surged to an unimaginably immense height! He had passed through countless cloud layers, and his head had reached the edge of the starry sky. Looking up, Luo Feng could see countless miniature galaxies.
At this moment, one of his fingertips was much larger than Huyang City.
The vastness of his size shocked even Marquis Liu Yin.
"What? He can maintain such a massive godly body?" Marquis Liu Yin exclaimed, "Touching the edge of the starry space? Although an unlimited godly body can be large or small, the larger it is... the stronger the world's suppression it faces."
Standing on the ground with his head touching the edge of the starry space.
Moreover, higher realms, under supreme rules, forbid touching, preventing damage to those miniature galaxies.
This height... was now the maximum a cultivator could achieve in size.
"Only a venerable Godly King can reach this height. Even focusing on the physical body at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm, such a size is somewhat inconceivable," Marquis Liu Yin was well aware that sometimes, size could indeed indicate strength.
A godly body maintained at such a celestial height signifies endless might!
"Begone!" Luo Feng bellowed, his palms covering the entire Bloodfire World, and with a wave, he completely shattered it into Primal Chaos.
"Buzz."
When the Bloodfire World shattered, using the world's power, the formless force instantly escaped to a far distance.
There it transformed into a blood-fire body, now the significantly more injured Marquis Liu Yin.
"Luo He, if you're willing to stay out of the conflict between me and Marquis of Jiu Jiang, we can discuss terms," Marquis Liu Yin spoke from afar.
"I've got this place secured," the towering godly body as high as the heavens declared mightily, his voice booming.
Marquis Liu Yin's expression turned grim.
He knew well that he had territories, numerous subordinates, countless clan members, and much too much at stake.
And Luo He? Merely a recluse at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos! Those close to him amounted to an old servant and a disciple.
Such an unburdened cultivator at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos would give even a Godly King headaches. They would not be easily provoked.
"Hmph."
Marquis Liu Yin merged with the world in an instant and disappeared from sight.
…
All over Huyang City, countless cultivators looked up, but due to the thick clouds obscuring their view, they only saw the waist area of an endless, imposing godly body clad in a massive black robe, imposing a terrifying pressure on them.
"A godly body as tall as the heavens?" Marquis of Jiu Jiang looked upward, knowing that focusing on the physical body to reach the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm was terrifying, but facing such an imposing godly body directly, the oppressive feeling was overwhelmingly intense.
Moyu Qingyan looked up, her eyes somewhat glazed over: "Is this, is this my master?"
