Chapter 225: The Terrifyingly Gifted Divine King Luo He
In Huyang City, Morosa also gazed distantly in the direction of Shiguo’s royal capital.
“Something’s wrong. This Dark Sky Lord’s life force… doesn’t align with the direction an Inner World should nurture!”
As a Divine King Second Stage beast, Morosa already had some awareness of the abilities possessed by peak Realm Beasts. He could even nurture an entire legion now, though he refrained in order to conceal his identity.
So, when he looked at the figure of the Dark Sky Lord, he immediately sensed something was amiss and sent a mental transmission to Luo Feng:
“Master! A peak Realm Beast can nurture a powerful Destruction Legion. It should be able to breed warriors even stronger than itself.”
“Realm Beasts are balanced in all aspects.”
“But a Destruction Legion leans toward combat,” Morosa continued through soundless speech. “The legion nurtured by a peak Realm Beast must first have a commander, known as the ‘Destruction Emperor’. Beneath the Destruction Emperor, there should be Eighteen Generals and Thirty-Six Commanders.”
“The Destruction Emperor is the most perfect warrior of the Ultimate Divine King level! Its survivability is inferior to a Realm Beast, but its combat power far surpasses one.”
“I sense that the Dark Sky Lord’s life force is incomplete! When the six Lords merge into one, that should be the Destruction Emperor.” Morosa warned, “This Dark Sky Lord, as a part of the Destruction Emperor, must already be an extremely powerful lifeform. Master, you must be careful.”
…Luo Feng heard Morosa’s transmission.
Good grief.
The Realm Beasts of Tianmu Nation were far too low-key, splitting the most terrifying commander of the Destruction Legion into six Lords.
“Luo He.” The Dark Sky Lord looked at Luo Feng with a smile. “Your talent is indeed extraordinary, but a single avatar cannot threaten me. Send all five of your avatars together!”
As for the four Divine Kings of the Second Stage earlier, the Dark Sky Lord hadn’t even taken them seriously. Even the Silvermoon Divine King, whose power rivaled that of the Heavenly Kun Ruler, he ignored.
“All five at once?” The five silver-robed Luo Fengs looked at him. “No need!”
One silver-robed Luo Feng stood there as his silver robe spread out rapidly, transforming into an endless silver river! The vast river surged across a billion kilometers, blanketing heaven and earth, trapping the Dark Sky Lord within.
“Perish!” That silver-robed Luo Feng stood amid the surging river, which bound and corroded the Dark Sky Lord.
The corrosive power was clearly even stronger than the previous Undying Mixed Cave Light, causing the Dark Sky Lord’s armor of scales to tear apart, exposing greenish flesh beneath! Even his flesh was being eroded.
“This erosion power?” The Dark Sky Lord was somewhat surprised. “It carries the rhythm of my Destruction Path, brimming with destructive force. And this river’s substance is terrifying—each strand of power is full of boundless vitality, constantly eroding and consuming my physical body.”
At this stage, Luo Feng’s killing moves were: the Star Tower, Beyond Divine King-level will, the Twenty-Four Phases Form World Life Form, and the Great Annihilation Form.
The previous Undying Mixed Cave Light still belonged to the formidable techniques of the Divine King Second Stage.
But this flesh-eroding move truly unleashed the terror of his Physical Body!
“What? He actually injured the Dark Sky Lord?”
“Luo He’s river domain is this corrosive?”
Powerhouses across the Origin Continent watched from afar, all astonished.
“In terms of technique, this Dark Sky Lord is a notch below me. But his physical body’s toughness surpasses mine.” Emperor Guixu observed. “Yet Luo He’s domain erosion wounded him lightly. If I were caught, I’d suffer even heavier injuries.”
“What a terrifying domain.” The Divine King Wuxin was secretly alarmed. “Someone like me, whose strength lies in speed and body techniques—facing such an enormous domain, I could only flee.”
No matter how great one’s speed or escape techniques were, a domain blanketed a vast range! Anyone daring to engage Luo Feng up close would inevitably be corroded by it.
…
The sheer might of this domain already made all sides acknowledge Luo Feng’s strength.
“Boom.” The Dark Sky Lord acted. Even within the obstruction of the endless river, his speed remained fearsome as he broke through everything, charging straight for that silver-robed avatar of Luo Feng.
“Destroy!”
As the Dark Sky Lord struck, he already punched forth.
That punch disrupted the operation of heaven and earth’s laws, locking firmly onto Luo Feng’s avatar. There was nowhere to dodge, only an inescapable crushing force descending! Yet Luo Feng’s hand turned into a blade, slashing forth.
That blade was like a blazing sun rising between heaven and earth! The sun collided head-on with the punch.
“Rumble~~~” The terrifying shockwave swept across in all directions, threatening even Shiguo’s royal capital! Countless cultivators there felt terror, as though death itself was approaching.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~
The Milky Way spread in all directions, completely restraining the shockwave’s impact.
After the Dark Sky Lord’s punch, he still stood unmoved, with only a few cracked scales on his fist.
But Luo Feng was blasted backward before steadying himself, his right hand already dripping with blood.
“My Physical Body is slightly inferior to his, and my technique realm too.” Luo Feng immediately realized the gap. This avatar only had one percent of his World Life Form’s energy reserves, still a bit weaker compared to the Dark Sky Lord.
“Boom!”
The Dark Sky Lord rampaged within the endless silver river, chasing Luo Feng relentlessly. Luo Feng treated him as a whetstone, testing his moves again and again.
Luo Feng had been studying the Star Tower’s deeper secret patterns, contemplating the fusion of life, destruction, and life-and-death… though not as perfect as the Great Annihilation Form, still extraordinary.
Now he tested them in actual combat!
The Dark Sky Lord, a favored child of the Destruction Path, constantly pressed Luo Feng with attack after attack.
They fought fiercely for a while, exchanging hundreds of blows!
“This Luo He’s single avatar—its Physical Body is only slightly inferior to mine.” The Dark Sky Lord was inwardly shocked. “And its vitality even surpasses mine. After so long, his divine power reserves haven’t diminished at all.”
Neither side’s energy reserves had depleted.
This was the result of Physical Bodies being too powerful.
“I cannot keep helping the Hanshen Ruler guard his territory. In the end, Shiguo will fall to Luo He.” The Dark Sky Lord understood this.
“However, I cannot let my Destruction Legion lose face!”
His gaze turned cold as a long staff appeared in his hand—this was a weapon at the Ultimate Divine King level!
For Tianmu Nation, obtaining treasures beyond the Divine King-level was difficult. But weapons of the Ultimate Divine King tier, they could still manage. Each of the six Lords had one suited for themselves.
“Rip!”
As soon as the staff appeared in the Dark Sky Lord’s hand, he naturally swung it in a sweeping strike. In an instant, heaven and earth split, and a crack appeared in the membrane of the Source World. The fissure was narrow, about the width of a finger.
Yet it extended all the way to Luo Feng’s avatar.
“Pu!” Luo Feng’s flesh was torn open with a massive wound.
“An ultimate technique.” Luo Feng only realized it the moment he was struck. The Dark Sky Lord’s personal technique realm was slightly inferior, but with the aid of an Ultimate Divine King weapon, his power surged to terrifying heights.
“His divine body resisted this strike, and yet his energy consumption wasn’t even significant?” The Dark Sky Lord was startled.
This scene also shocked many powerhouses across the Origin Continent.
“When Luo He was still in the First Stage Divine King, his body was already formidable. Now at the Second Stage… his Physical Body is even more terrifying!” Emperor Yan was alarmed. “On the Origin Continent, those who can kill Luo He are already very few.”
“Perhaps Emperor Qing or Emperor Ming could utterly annihilate him.”
“But I can no longer do it.”
Emperor Yan disliked the feeling, but the truth was undeniable. Just one avatar of Luo He was this troublesome! With his many avatars hidden across the land, utterly eradicating him would be nearly impossible.
“Good!” Emperor Chu watched with delight.
“My disciple’s talent is extraordinary. Now what he needs is time! Given enough time to grow, I believe he will one day stand toe-to-toe with Emperors.” Emperor Chu thought.
For now, his disciple was only strong in his toughness and endurance. His techniques were still somewhat immature—he had yet to comprehend even one ultimate technique, nor had he gained a powerful treasure.
But relying on such a terrifying Physical Body alone, even Emperors and Monarchs had to take Luo He seriously.
…
“Dark Sky Lord, I too have a weapon. Allow me to test it on you.” Luo Feng extended his hand, and the Bloodshadow Blade appeared.
As an Ultimate Divine King-level blade embryo, the Bloodshadow Blade required Luo Feng to engrave the secret patterns himself. His original plan was to inscribe mainly Destruction Path patterns, since the Life-and-Death Path was not yet complete, while the Destruction Path had top-tier inheritance guidance.
But after observing the Star Tower’s deep secret patterns, his thinking changed.
The Star Tower’s secret patterns formed a complete system, able to cooperate perfectly.
Luo Feng pondered them deeply.
He began integrating the life and destruction secret patterns he understood into the Bloodshadow Blade! One could call the Bloodshadow Blade a “super-simplified version” of the Star Tower, mainly inscribed with life and destruction secret patterns that synergized with each other.
“Hum.” Holding the Bloodshadow Blade, Luo Feng radiated a terrifying blade aura.
“Slash!”
Since he himself had engraved the patterns, wielding the blade felt effortless, perfectly unleashing its power.
The strike arrived instantly before the Dark Sky Lord. He disdained to dodge, swinging his staff head-on!
Clang!!!
The Dark Sky Lord was shocked to feel the weight of the strike—even heavier than his own staff technique.
His staff carried many traits of the Destruction Path, but Luo Feng’s slash… had only one trait: “weight”! A weight pushed to the extreme! The Dark Sky Lord’s strong body endured it head-on.
The two clashed midair without moving.
This exchange was an even match.
“You can even wield an Ultimate Divine King weapon?” The Dark Sky Lord looked at Luo Feng. “Impressive, impressive.”
After all, acquiring such a weapon required profound study of its mysteries to bring forth ultimate techniques.
“My blade art wins through weight, yet I still couldn’t force you back a step. I remain weaker.” Luo Feng admitted.
“You win.”
The Dark Sky Lord cast him a cold glance. “And this is only one of your avatars.”
Confronted by a single avatar with no advantage, the Dark Sky Lord knew he had lost! With a step, he vanished into the void, returning to Tianmu Nation.
And at this moment, powerhouses all across the Origin Continent who had witnessed the battle finally realized just how terrifying Divine King Luo He truly was! More fearsome even than Emperor Guixu or the Divine King Wuxin.
Perhaps just below the five greatest—such as Queen Fengdu and the Master of the Mother River—would come Luo He! He might already rival Puxin, the Ark Master of the Time-Space Ark, and the Divine King Yufu.
