Chapter 104: Determine Victory

“Residing in Hu Yang City?” The massive face in the sky found it hard to believe.

On the Origin Continent, not every Chaos Realm cultivator is willing to join a kingdom and be granted a marquis title! Though possessing a fief grants endless resource output, it also brings countless entanglements. The more one desires, the more karmic ties one accumulates.

Many cultivators from the Chaos Realm prefer to settle in remote areas and cultivate in peace; the Nine Sources Great Sage, the Jue Feng Great Sage, and others are like this—they sacrificed much in resources but avoided numerous troubles.

Some Chaos Realm cultivators completely withdraw, disguising themselves as ordinary cultivators, cultivating in quiet seclusion, hoping one day to attain sudden enlightenment and ascend to the God-King level.

“I’m attacking the Nine Jiang Chaos Region, and I stumble upon a hidden Chaos Realm peak?” Liu Yin Hou felt his luck was unusually bad, “And he once offered his services for two billion Cosmic Sands.”

Had he known he was a hidden Chaos Realm peak, even twenty billion Cosmic Sands would have made Liu Yin Hou gladly hire him.

But now, it’s all too late!

At this point, the hidden Chaos Realm cultivator Luo He has become a complete adversary.

“This Luo He brother… is a Chaos Realm peak?” Jiang Hou, who had escaped to the governor’s mansion, was filled with delight.

One billion Cosmic Sands could hire a Chaos Realm peak?

What luck?

“Luo He!”

The crimson sky, the massive face stared at Luo Feng: “You, a hidden Chaos Realm cultivator, insist on interfering in my dispute with Jiang Hou?”

“I never intended to interfere. What business is it of mine whether you two fight over your fiefs?” Luo Feng shook his head lightly. “But your subordinates kept attacking and slaughtering the innocent—right in my secluded city. How could I tolerate that?”

Liu Yin Hou’s thoughts shifted.

It was indeed true!

When Xue Yun had rampaged through the city, Luo He had chased him out—and still killed him.

When Xin Ying Men entered the city, Luo He had endured it. But when Xin Ying Men began looting and slaughtering the entire city, Luo He acted.

When both armies clashed, Luo He had shown his immense Eternal True God power throughout, delivering exactly what one billion Cosmic Sands bought. But when Liu Yin Yan seized a hundred billion blood offerings, Luo He intervened.

“You fools have brought me great trouble,” Liu Yin Hou gazed down at Luo Feng. Though he sensed the situation had worsened, he still held firm confidence in himself.

“Luo He, no matter your reason, since you’ve interfered, I’ll see if you have the strength to do so.” Liu Yin Hou’s voice boomed across the heavens.

Zhum~~~

The voice carried a strange mental assault, descending instantly.

As a Chaos Realm peak, Liu Yin Hou had spent eons refining his spiritual will to the threshold of God-King level. Knowing Luo Feng’s terrifying power, he now unleashed his full strength.

“Your mental art is like a buzzing insect?” Luo Feng frowned slightly. “So annoying.”

“His will is just as strong as mine—completely immovable.” Liu Yin Hou became certain: this was an ancient elder who had cultivated for untold ages, his spiritual will honed to a terrifying degree.

“If you have no other tricks, leave.”

Luo Feng swept his sleeve.

Eight thousand rivers of blade-light surged across heaven and earth, instantly clearing the skies—blood and fire both annihilated, leaving only chaotic energy.

Liu Yin Hou’s blood-fire realm was vast. Luo Feng’s eight thousand rivers covered less than one-tenth of it. Even after seeing Luo Feng’s technique, Liu Yin Hou retreated his divine power to extreme distances. This damage was far less than the first strike.

As countless spatial layers naturally healed, the heavens calmed, and the blood-fire realm spread once more.

“Hmph.” A cold snort echoed through the heavens.

Blood and fire ignited upon Luo Feng’s body. He carefully sensed it.

He felt as if he had become the enemy of the vast world—endless malice converged upon him, while blood and fire burned and eroded his form.

“No trace at all—it’s eroding my body out of nowhere?” Luo Feng stared in surprise. “Compared to my clumsy eight thousand blade-light strikes, Liu Yin Hou’s technique is far more insidious.”

“Useless?” The blood-fire world’s avatar sensed the blood and fire could not harm Luo Feng’s body.

Gonglonglong~~~~

Suddenly, the entire blood-fire world roared. Its world-force concentrated into a single point, coalescing into the shadow of a dark-red armored man before Luo Feng.

The moment the dark-red armored man appeared, he slashed once at Luo Feng’s shoulder; Luo Feng reacted swiftly—otherwise, the blade would have split his skull.

“A world-body?” Luo Feng, having studied Liu Yin Hou’s details from Di Chu Yu, knew the dark-red armored man… was not Liu Yin Hou’s true body, but a “world-body” formed from the blood-fire world’s accumulated power.

A world-body gathers the power of an entire world—immense strength, terrifying in close combat. Even if shattered, it merely dissolves back into world-energy, leaving Liu Yin Hou’s true body unharmed.

“Such a powerful slash—and it appeared right before me, impossible to dodge.” Luo Feng still hovered in midair, staring at the blade on his shoulder.

The dark-red armored man, having slashed Luo Feng’s shoulder, was equally stunned.

Because…

The blade hadn’t even cut through Luo Feng’s black robe. His skin remained utterly unbroken.

“Chichichi~~~” Instantly, countless black fluids flowed across Luo Feng’s robe, engulfing the blade and then the entire dark-red armored man.

“You want to fight me up close?” Luo Feng shook his head lightly.

Of the fifteen transformation arts he mastered, only the “River of Stars Transformation” excelled in field techniques; the rest favored close combat. Luo Feng had carefully selected five for regular use.

Thus, in normal combat, the River of Stars Transformation was for long-range, while the other four were for close combat.

Luo Feng’s close-combat strength was far more terrifying than his long-range power.

“Chichichi~~~~” The dark-red armored man, engulfed in black fluid, collapsed and vanished under unimaginable pressure, leaving only the long blade with blood-fire patterns behind.

“Fine weapon.” Luo Feng gripped the blade.

To maximize the world-body’s close-combat potency, Liu Yin Hou had equipped it with the finest weapon—this blade was a supreme Jipin among Chaos Realm arms.

“This blade suits a Chaos Realm peak—worth at least fifty billion Cosmic Sands.” Luo Feng praised it. “Mine now.” He flipped it into his Star Tower.

Luo Feng gazed at the blood-fire realm above.

“Liu Yin Hou, any other tricks?” Luo Feng regarded him calmly.

“How is this possible?”

At this moment, Liu Yin Hou could not believe it: “My world-body, empowered by the entire blood-fire world’s strength, possessed immense power—yet it was crushed without resistance by that black fluid?”

The overwhelming binding force had instantly shattered the world-body.

The gap in close combat was too vast.

“No wonder I thought his techniques crude—he excels in physical form. His body is far stronger than my world-body.” Liu Yin Hou immediately understood the disparity.

!.

Every Chaos Realm peak has his own path of mastery.

Liu Yin Hou’s strength lay in transforming into the blood-fire world, keeping his true body safe from threat.

But if one focuses solely on the physical body and reaches Chaos Realm peak! The body becomes terrifying—even ancient beings just entering God-King level find it extremely difficult to completely erase a Chaos Realm peak whose body is perfected.

Such a being is best imprisoned or sealed. Killing one usually requires prolonged erosion, slow and steady.

“Your divine body is strong, but I’ll see if it truly has no flaw!” Liu Yin Hou refused to give up. Instantly, the blood-fire world surged, invisible forces descending ceaselessly, seeking to seep into Luo Feng’s divine body.

These invisible forces: strange blood, burning flames, calamity energy…

Various strange energies kept seeping in.

Liu Yin Hou knew well: some powerful bodies appear invincible, yet if special energies penetrate them, they might be destroyed from within.

“You want to erode my divine body? Hahaha…” Luo Feng suddenly laughed.

Gonglonglong~~~

Luo Feng’s body suddenly swelled to an unimaginable height—he pierced through countless clouds, his head brushing the edge of the starry sky. When he looked up, he saw countless miniature universes in the stars.

At this size, even one of his fingers dwarfed Hu Yang City.

His colossal size stunned Liu Yin Hou.

“What? He can maintain such a gigantic divine body?” Liu Yin Hou gasped. “His head touches the edge of the starry sky? Infinite divine bodies can grow or shrink, but the larger they become… the stronger the world’s suppression.”

His feet stood on the earth, his head touching the edge of the starry sky.

Higher still, the supreme laws forbade touching or damaging those miniature universes.

This height… was the maximum any cultivator could achieve.

“Only ancient God-Kings reach such height. Even a Chaos Realm peak focused on the body shouldn’t be this large.” Liu Yin Hou knew well: sometimes size reveals true power.

Maintaining a divine body as vast as heaven and earth meant boundless power!

“Get out!” Luo Feng roared. His two hands engulfed the entire blood-fire realm, sweeping downward—shattering it completely into chaos.

“Zhum.”

As the blood-fire realm shattered, invisible forces used the heavens to flee to extreme distances.

Far away, they reformed into a blood-fire body—Liu Yin Hou, now more wounded.

“Luo He, if you’re willing to stay out of my dispute with Jiang Hou, everything can be settled.” Liu Yin Hou called from afar.

“I’m protecting this place.” The towering divine body, as vast as heaven and earth, looked down, his voice thundering.

Liu Yin Hou’s face darkened.

He knew well—he had a fief, countless subordinates, numerous clan members, too many attachments.

But this Luo He? A hidden Chaos Realm peak! His only close associates were an old servant and a disciple.

Such a Chaos Realm peak, with no attachments, even God-Kings would dread confronting him, avoiding him if possible.

“Hmph.”

Liu Yin Hou instantly merged with the heavens and vanished.

…

In Hu Yang City, countless cultivators looked up. Through the thick clouds, they saw only the waist of an infinitely towering divine body—its black robe vast beyond measure, crushing them with unbearable pressure.

“A divine body as tall as heaven and earth?” Jiang Hou looked up. He knew a Chaos Realm peak focused on the body was terrifying—but facing such a colossal form, the pressure was overwhelming.

Mo Yu Hu looked up, eyes dazed: “This… this is my master?”
