Chapter 223: Ultimate – Shiguo Territory
“Occupy Shiguo?” Luo Feng revealed a smile, “I do have that plan!”
When the Ruler of Yushui heard this, she immediately laughed and said: “Hahaha… Luo He, back when you were only at the First Stage of Divine King, you did not even fear that Ruler of Heavenly Kun. Now that you’ve reached the Second Stage of Divine King, in terms of many methods you are even above the Ruler of Heavenly Kun! If you occupy Shiguo, I believe other strong ones will not dare to fight for it.”
A second-rate nation’s territory, with just a little of Luo Feng’s strength displayed, was enough for him to have the qualification to claim it.
“No rush.”
Luo Feng replied, “The three Rulers of Shiguo have just died. If I immediately seize Shiguo, it might attract the attention of that Black Robe with the Golden Mask. Once I incur his displeasure, that would be troublesome.”
“Yes, that mysterious powerhouse killed the three Rulers of Shiguo in one strike. He must have had enmity with them.” The Ruler of Yushui responded, “Now all the major powers are watching Shiguo. It really isn’t suitable to act immediately.”
“Wait a day.” Luo Feng said, “Making a move a day later can also be considered a show of respect to that mysterious powerhouse.”
“One day? There might be changes.” The Ruler of Yushui said worriedly, “Such a vast territory could attract ancient Divine Kings to act.”
“To seize such a large territory is not easy to begin with.” Luo Feng was very patient.
The one who had killed the three Rulers of Shiguo was himself.Killing them and then immediately seizing Shiguo could make him more suspicious.
Luo Feng was not sure of the investigative methods of the two Ancient Kingdoms. According to past intelligence, both of the Ancient Kingdoms had strong powers of investigation and deduction, and perhaps they already suspected him.
Although Luo Feng was already prepared for being ‘exposed,’ it was naturally better to delay exposure as much as possible.
The later he was exposed, the deeper his accumulation would be! Then it would be easier to deal with dangers.
“I have already exchanged for the Top-Tier Inheritance ‘The World Life Form’ and ‘Beast Body of the Mixed Cave’ Second Stage of Divine King chapters. I also need to carefully comprehend them, to increase my own foundation.” Luo Feng valued Top-Tier Inheritances very much.
The High-Grade Inheritances ‘Eight Tribulations Life Form’ and ‘Seventy-Two Slash Annihilation’ were too simple for him.
Only some extremely difficult secret techniques within the Top-Tier Inheritances could temper his comprehension best!
“Don’t know if the two Ancient Kingdoms will discover me.” Luo Feng borrowed the Star Tower to sense all directions, feeling the countless disciples inside Blade River Sect, and sensing the countless citizens in Huyang City.
If he only relied on the Twenty-Four Phases Form of the World Life Form, Beyond Divine King-level will, and numerous clones… Luo Feng would have acted more cautiously, and perhaps even exchanged from Infinite Space for a Beyond Divine King-level secret treasure to protect himself.
Without the Star Tower, he would only barely be able to be on par with an Emperor. Though he had an advantage in willpower, Emperors usually possessed more than one Beyond Divine King-level treasure. ŗÀNŐꞖÊš
But with the Star Tower!
Only then could Luo Feng calmly be prepared to expose himself.
The more he studied the Star Tower, the clearer Luo Feng understood the terror of its might.
……
Within the territory of the Ancient Thunder Kingdom.
Inside an ancient great hall, three figures sat separately.
“I invited the two of you here today because I have a request.” A massive figure covered in silver-white fur sat there.
“Silvermoon Divine King, you have a request of us?”
The other two figures were somewhat surprised.
The silver-haired figure’s eyes were deep, and he said indifferently: “You also know, just now, the three Rulers of Shiguo were killed!”
“That Black Robe with the Golden Mask, his strength is terrifying. Anyone below the Emperor level encountering him would probably have no resistance at all.” These two also knew the intelligence, and they knew how fearsome the murderer was.
“That powerhouse’s strength is far beyond us, not someone we can provoke.” The silver-haired figure said, “But now that Shiguo is masterless, it is an opportunity suitable for occupation.”
“Silvermoon, you want to leave the Ancient Thunder Kingdom?” The two figures were astonished.
The Silvermoon Divine King was a guest Divine King of the Ancient Thunder Kingdom, having served for countless years.
“I never truly joined the Ancient Thunder Kingdom.” The silver-haired figure said, “I have faithfully served them for countless years, yet many troublesome tasks were always given to me. My true body has even been devoured by those madmen more than once.”
The Ancient Thunder Kingdom had three semi-out-of-control Emperor-level powerhouses. When they were lucid, the kingdom released them. When they emerged, they needed attendants. Even the royal clan’s Divine Kings avoided them, so only guest Divine Kings obediently became their subordinates.
The Silvermoon Divine King was strong enough, and as a guest, he had served under more than one semi-out-of-control Emperor. Once the Emperor went mad, following the craving of their Primordial Bloodline, they devoured all life around them! The Silvermoon Divine King could at least last one or two instants, and had enough time to rely on a Resurrection Vessel to cultivate back.
“I’ve had enough.”
The silver-haired figure shook his head, “I’ve decided to seize the land of Shiguo, and live freely! No more suffering under the Ancient Thunder Kingdom. I also invite you two friends—since you both are skilled with clones. Each of you can send one clone… I’ll grant each of you ten Chaos States!”
The two strong figures looked at each other.
For those skilled in clones, it was indeed advantageous. They could have residences in many places.
“Alright.”
“Agreed.” The two accepted gladly.
On the one hand, they each gained ten Chaos States’ worth of territory. On the other hand, they were willing to befriend the Silvermoon Divine King! His years of serving the semi-out-of-control Emperors indirectly proved his strength.
In direct combat power, he was comparable to the Ruler of Heavenly Kun. In terms of vitality, he was much stronger.
“When do we act?” The two strong figures looked at the Silvermoon Divine King.
“At daybreak, we’ll act.” The Silvermoon Divine King looked outward, “Enduring through this night will also be a show of respect to that mysterious powerhouse.”
……
With the three Rulers of Shiguo dead, Divine King Kufeng had fled in terror, while Divine King Liuyu had been unable to escape for the moment. Yet she was far too weak! None of the great powers of the Origin Continent looked upon her.
Shiguo was temporarily without a master!
Shiguo now encompassed as many as 135 Chaos States! Among second-rate nations, it was considered quite large. Naturally, such vast territory attracted many overlord-level beings.
The night passed, and the sky gradually grew light.
The royal capital of Shiguo was filled with tension. The cultivators there were well-informed; they knew the three Rulers had died, and naturally feared a great struggle would erupt! If Divine Kings clashed, just the aftermath could turn them to ash.
At this moment, they were only fearful and uneasy, waiting anxiously. Some cultivators even temporarily left the capital.
“Whoosh.”
An enormous figure appeared above the capital.
Its entire body was covered in silver-white fur, its size almost no different from the true form of the Ruler of Heavenly Kun! That one furry tail seemed to stretch to the very end of the world. Its eyes were countless times larger than the entire capital.
“From this moment forth, Shiguo will be renamed ‘Silvermoon Nation.’ I, the Silvermoon Divine King, together with the Sea Demon Divine King and the Tianyi Divine King, shall jointly rule the entire Silvermoon Nation!” The silver-haired figure’s voice rolled thunderously, spreading across the entire territory of Shiguo.
Behind him were two more figures.
One was a form condensed of endless flowing water, and the other was a vast illusory figure.
The Ruler of Heavenly Kun had spent countless years to seize such a vast land! The Silvermoon Divine King, trying to pluck the peach, feared he could not intimidate others alone. Thus he had brought the Sea Demon Divine King and the Tianyi Divine King. With three united, their deterrence was much greater.
“Hahaha, Silvermoon Divine King, you are merely a guest of the Ancient Thunder Kingdom, and yet you crossed half the Origin Continent to seize Shiguo?” A laughter echoed.
Two figures emerged from the void.
The Silvermoon Divine King, the Sea Demon Divine King, and the Tianyi Divine King turned to look.
“My Hanshen Nation is adjacent to Shiguo.” A towering bald-headed figure said coldly, “Shiguo should belong to my Hanshen Nation!”
“Hanshen Ruler?”
The three did not take him too seriously. The Hanshen Ruler was quite mediocre among Second Stage Divine Kings! His only claim was that he was a life-and-death friend of the Ruler of Tianmu Nation, the Purplewood Divine King.
“I have already discussed this matter with Tianmu Nation. Tianmu Nation also agrees.” The bald-headed figure said.
“Leave immediately, all three of you.” Beside him stood a black-scaled armored man, expressionless. Yet his mere presence made the three wary.
“One of the Six Lords of the Destruction Legion, the Dark Sky Lord.” The three naturally recognized him.
The greatest strength of Tianmu Nation was that peak Realm Beast.
The Realm Beast had even birthed a vast Destruction Legion! From high to low, the legion’s strongest were the Six Lords! Each Lord’s strength could rival Emperor Guixu or Divine King Wuxin.
Six Lords, eighteen Generals, thirty-six Commanders. All of them were Divine King-level combat power within the Destruction Legion.
Even the weakest Commander was at the extreme limit of First Stage Divine King.
“So what if it is the Dark Sky Lord?” The Silvermoon Divine King sneered, “If all six of you Lords of the Destruction Legion came, I’d turn around and leave! But just you alone? Humph.” He had even served semi-out-of-control Emperors; how could he fear a mere Lord of the Destruction Legion?
“Hanshen Ruler, your strength is insufficient, yet you forcefully wish to seize Shiguo… you will suffer backlash.” The Sea Demon Divine King also spoke.
……
Luo Feng had originally intended to wait one day before making his move. Who could have thought that at daybreak, others could no longer hold back.
“The Silvermoon Divine King has acted with the Sea Demon Divine King and the Tianyi Divine King. The Hanshen Ruler has brought along the Dark Sky Lord of the Destruction Legion.” Luo Feng nodded slightly, “Since they have all acted, it is only natural that I should act as well.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, five silver-robed Luo Fengs moved simultaneously.
Each silver-robed Luo Feng contained about one percent of the energy reserves of the ‘World Life Form true body’! Equivalent to roughly thirty percent of the Perfect Divine Body’s energy reserves. Already extremely terrifying.
If Luo Feng only had Ultimate Divine King willpower, even with his powerful soul foundation, he could at most bring out fifty to sixty percent of each clone’s power.
But with Beyond Divine King-level will, Luo Feng could even easily command his true body.
These five clones, each of their Inner Worlds could cover a territory range of 50–60 Chaos States around themselves.
And the true body of the World Life Form, possessing the Lotus of Life, could cover about three hundred Chaos States. At this moment, with a single thought, the World Power spread across every part of Shiguo.
“Rumble~~~~”
The territory of Shiguo was completely enveloped.
The terrifying World Power spread everywhere, suppressing all directions, naturally suppressing the Silvermoon Divine King, the Sea Demon Divine King, the Tianyi Divine King, as well as the Hanshen Ruler and the Dark Sky Lord of the Destruction Legion.
“Hmm?” All five felt an overwhelming force pressing upon them, their expressions changing.
“I am Luo He.”
Within the range of the World Power, all living beings trembled, as a mighty voice resounded through every city and every wilderness.
“From this moment forth, Shiguo shall be under the rule of my Blade River Sect.”
“You five—do you have any objections?”
Five silver-robed Luo Fengs appeared above the capital of Shiguo, looking at the five Second Stage Divine Kings before them.
