Chapter 118: He Is Not Chaotic Realm Peak!

Qianxing Tower was merely an ordinary merchant house in Chu Capital, yet today was the most extraordinary day in its history! Two First-Rank Marquises and three Chaotic Realm guests were inside Qianxing Tower.

"The Heavenly Mechanism of Naluohe Holy One is blurred, his karmic threads retracted—hard to glean much about him," said the old woman beside Marquis Chu Ji. "His rise was swift, and even his closest kin are few. He may be the reincarnation of some ancient elder. When he acts, we must give our all."

"No Chaotic Realm peak warrior should ever be taken lightly," said the old man with golden bands encircling his left arm.

The green-robed man sneered: "Chaotic Realm peak means he's touched the threshold of Shenwang. But this Luohe… he specializes solely in physical cultivation, his techniques crude and clumsy—easier to deal with."

Like the Primordial Dao of Time, the Primordial Dao of Space, the Primordial Dao of Cause and Effect…

Many Dao paths, once reaching Chaotic Realm peak, become bizarre and unfathomable; capturing or killing such a cultivator is extremely difficult. Even when Luohe defeated Marquis Liu Yin before, he couldn't hold him.

Those who specialize in physical cultivation indeed have bodies hard to destroy, but their other aspects are usually weak.

"No matter the opponent, give your all," said Marquis Chu Ji.

"Strong body? Perfect! Then I can fight even more fiercely!" growled the ugly, black-furred Marquis Chu Yuan. "I'll smash him with a thousand, ten thousand blows—turn him into a pile of meat paste! Let's see how strong his body really is!"

The other four Chaotic Realm peak cultivators were long accustomed to Marquis Chu Yuan's temperament.

In the imperial clan of Yanfeng Ancient Nation, such wild, unrestrained behavior was rare. But in the imperial clan of Lei Thunder Ancient Nation, most cultivators were like this—those who remained calm and rational were the minority.

"He's here," said the old woman, gazing into the distance, a strange chill running through her. She had cultivated the Primordial Dao of Cause and Effect, yet she felt Luohe's Heavenly Mechanism was too obscure—she could perceive too little.

Hu!

A black-clad man stepped out from the void, a pair of dark-gold pointed horns on his forehead, his expression cold. As soon as he appeared, he locked eyes on Qianxing Tower, instantly identifying the two First-Rank Marquises and the three Chaotic Realm guests.

"Marquis Chu Yuan, Marquis Chu Ji, and three guests," Luo Feng said, studying them. "You all hold high status—yet you dare target my Eternal True God companions."

"Luohe Guest has remained sealed in his mansion, never stepping out," said Marquis Chu Ji with a bright smile. "We merely used a small trick to invite you out for a meeting. Surely you're aware of the conflicts between us and Emperor Chu Yu."

"Since arriving in Chu Capital, I've been in seclusion. I don't know the details of conflicts among First-Rank Marquises," Luo Feng replied.

The five of them were taken aback.

As an invited guest of Emperor Chu Yu, how could he not know of the conflicts between Chu Yu and them?

"Never mind," said Marquis Chu Ji. "We offer you two choices: one, sever ties with Emperor Chu Yu and never aid him again. Two, continue aiding Emperor Chu Yu and stand against us. Choose one."

Choosing a guest required great caution. Emperor Chu Yu had originally feared encountering a traitor, preferring to slowly cultivate a trustworthy, high-potential cultivator.

When he first invited Luo Feng, Emperor Chu Yu believed Luo Feng was an Infinite Body Eternal True God, hoping they could grow together, mutually supporting each other. He had long prepared for early restraint.

But later, Luo Feng's strength surpassed his expectations.

"Choose two paths?" Luo Feng looked at them, lips curled in a faint smile. "Do you even qualify to make me choose?"

Marquis Chu Yuan, Marquis Chu Ji, and the three guests all changed expression.

"Do we qualify?" Marquis Chu Ji's eyes blazed with anger; the already volatile Marquis Chu Yuan's body erupted with thunder.

"Hmph."

The green-robed man let out a cold snort. Instantly, the illusory avatar of Yuanzu, bound and immobilized nearby, vanished. The sky around Qianxing Tower darkened.

The old woman glanced at Luo Feng. "Weng~~~" An invisible mental assault enveloped Luo Feng, clouding his mind and blurring his perception.

But Luo Feng, whose mental will had reached Shenwang Second Layer, and who possessed Li Yuan Shu, was utterly unaffected by such deception.

"Karmic obscurity?" Luo Feng sensed the technique. The opponent's mental will had barely crossed the Shenwang threshold, but this mental attack aimed to obscure all perception. "So this is Xun Guest, beside Marquis Chu Ji—expert in karmic arts, the Primordial Dao of Cause and Effect is indeed mysterious."

The old man with golden bands on his left arm gazed at Luo Feng. His left arm's golden bands vanished into thin air.

"Hm?"

Five illusory golden bands materialized in midair, encircling Luo Feng, then tightened instantly—binding, restraining, crushing, and suppressing him with multiple forces.

"Luohe didn't even dodge my golden bands?" the old man sneered.

"His true body is dead," smiled the green-robed man as the entire world faintly manifested a grand array. The array activated, summoning countless heavenly chains to encase Luo Feng.

Marquis Chu Ji smiled. Victory.

With Luohe trapped by the golden bands, the outcome was sealed.

"Is this your best?" Luo Feng's voice suddenly rang out. He exerted slight force—his Five Transformations' fundamental components had all transformed into Yin-Yang Particles, their power surging dramatically.

Four of Luo Feng's Five Transformations were close-combat techniques.

The Milky Way Transformation, when combined with his Chaotic Realm sword art, now allowed him to unleash 23, 00 Milky Way sword beams simultaneously. In close combat, merely unleashing power imposed minimal mental strain—he could simultaneously unleash over a hundred billion units of transformation power, strength so immense it defied comprehension.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!!"

With one exertion, all five golden bands shattered!

The heavenly chains disintegrated upon touching Luo Feng's clothing.

The sight stunned the two First-Rank Marquises and three Chaotic Realm guests!

"My five golden bands… shattered?" the old man stared in disbelief. "These were weapon treasures—how could they break?"

He could accept them stretching.

But shattering instantly?

The heavenly chains formed by the green-robed man's array disintegrated upon touching Luo Feng's clothing. He clearly sensed… the unimaginable power his chains encountered when contacting Luo Feng's garment.

Touch it, and you die!

"Flee! He's not Chaotic Realm peak—he's Chaotic Realm Transcendent!" The green-robed man transmitted a warning and tried to escape.

"Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom~~~~"

From Qianxing Tower as the center, boundless silver light erupted, forming a colossal silver prison that completely enclosed the entire tower.

!

"Want to run?" Luo Feng stepped forward, his figure piercing through space, appearing beside the green-robed man. Five fingers clamped onto his body. In an instant, the space within several zhang around the man turned to chaos—all spatial layers annihilated, terrifying force striking the world's membrane.

One strike—and the Tianyu Holy One's body vanished utterly, without even a flicker of resistance.

First, the five golden bands shattered, the heavenly chains disintegrated; then Tianyu Holy One couldn't even withstand one blow. This shocked Marquis Chu Ji and the others deeply. Though Tianyu Holy One's body wasn't particularly strong, as a cultivator of World Origin Dao, his power rivaled Liu Yin Marquis's, and his survival ability was formidable—yet he was utterly fragile before Luo Feng.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Luo Feng's arms suddenly swelled, like celestial pillars, both hands reaching for the old man and the old woman.

Luo Feng possessed detailed intelligence on the two First-Rank Marquises and three Chaotic Realm guests. In truth, the three guests had the strongest escape abilities—so Luo Feng first targeted Tianyu Holy One, who controlled the heavens, then the other two guests.

As for Marquis Chu Ji and Marquis Chu Yuan? Powerful, yes—but their escape capabilities were weak.

"Weng."

Luo Feng's palms pierced through space, appearing instantly before the two Chaotic Realm guests.

"Marquis, go!" The old woman seized Marquis Chu Ji and vanished in an instant.

The old man's body dissolved, evading Luo Feng's grasp. When his body reappeared far away, he stared in shock and fury at the Milky Way Prison: "This cage cuts through space, separating the inside from the outside."

Luo Feng's silver prison severed all spatial layers—only the world's membrane remained intact.

"Hu."

The old woman, carrying Marquis Chu Ji, had already fled to the sky above the Marquis's mansion, finally relaxing as she gazed back toward Qianxing Tower.

"Marquis, I can barely carry one Chaotic Realm lifeform while merging into the Karmic Escape Technique," said the old woman. "I could only save you."

The Karmic Escape Technique involved merging into karmic threads to flee—a supreme escape art she had perfected after cultivating the Primordial Dao of Cause and Effect, inherited from Yanfeng Ancient Nation.

Carrying another lifeform through karmic escape drastically increased difficulty.

"Thanks to Xun Guest—if not for you, I wouldn't have escaped," said Marquis Chu Ji, staring in fury at the distance. His gaze pierced through spatial barriers, seeing the Milky Way Prison. "That cage isolates inside from outside—escape will be extremely difficult."

"Xun Guest, can you save Marquis Chu Yuan and the others?" asked Marquis Chu Ji.

"No."

The old woman shook her head. "Luohe's movements are not only swift, but even under Tianyu Holy One's control of heaven, he still pierced through space! If I used the Karmic Escape Technique to infiltrate, the moment I reappeared, I'd be struck! My body isn't as strong as Tianyu's—if I'm hit, this true body will die."

"He must be a Chaotic Realm Transcendent specializing in physical cultivation—his body alone rivals Shenwang. We can't possibly provoke him," the old woman admitted, still shaken.

Marquis Chu Ji's face darkened: "I never imagined we'd escape with only two of us."

…

As a First-Rank Marquis, Emperor Chu Yu had excellent intelligence in Chu Capital—he received news of the battle at Qianxing Tower immediately.

"What? Chu Yuan and Chu Ji and the other five confronting Luohe Brother?" Emperor Chu Yu panicked. "Didn't I warn Luohe Brother to be careful? How did he still fall into an ambush?"
