Chapter 216: The Vote of the Emperors

The merit of this task is 50 million merits, which is also a bit small. This task has a high threshold and is hard work. Working hard for 3,000 epochs for only this much merit? One could earn it by picking some treasures in the Dream Domain.

"This task was discussed by many Emperors and designated me? Which Emperors are they?" Luo Feng frowned slightly.

Before the twenty-four phase form World Lifeform was practiced, he did not want to have too much conflict with the Emperors.

"Master, I received a task assignment." Luo Feng immediately sent a message, sending the complete content of the task to his master.

"Refuse it." Di Chu immediately ordered. "Cultivating Hunyuan bloodline beast eggs is very troublesome. You need to be distracted 192 times, take care of them carefully, and you are always under puppet surveillance. You cannot be slack at all. 3,000 epochs of time... will significantly affect your cultivation."

"This is a hard and tiring job. Those Second Rebirth Realm God Kings whose cultivation has stalled and are good at clones will take this task to please some Emperor. You don't need to take it." Di Chu ordered.

"Yes, Master." Luo Feng did not

He had already obtained the Hunyuan bloodline materials for the twenty-four phase forms. If he wanted stronger Hunyuan bloodline materials, there were only the 'Ultimate Realm strength Hunyuan bloodline' biological materials, which both great ancient kingdoms' royal families strictly forbade from being leaked.

According to Luo Feng's understanding, the incarnations of the Progenitors would be watching, so even if one were assigned to guard them, one could not seek personal gain.

"Based on my understanding of them, once you refuse, they will still have backup plans." Di Chu instructed, "Do not worry about how they threaten or persuade you; just refuse them all. Leave everything else to me."

"This disciple understands." Luo Feng thought to himself, if he refused, there would still be backup plans?

Huyang City, City Lord's Mansion.

Luo Feng was on the upper floor of the pavilion, drinking fruit wine.

"The life path has finally reached the God King Second Rebirth Realm." Luo Feng felt quite relaxed. After the Lotus of Life took root in his internal world, Luo Feng and the Great Dao of Life were also perfectly compatible, and studying the life secret patterns of the Star Tower had also been of great help to him.

The life-type secret patterns of the Star Tower accounted for the largest proportion.

Just tonight, the three major branches of 'Life Spirituality, Life Body, and Life Source' fused perfectly, his realm advanced a step further, and his comprehension of the twenty-four phase forms could also proceed more smoothly.

"By slightly revealing my God King Second Rebirth Realm strength, the Emperors have started to notice me." Luo Feng held his wine cup. Previously, he had only publicly been a God King First Rebirth Realm invincible, merely able to entangle with King Tiankun by relying on multiple incarnations, so the Emperors had ignored him.

Now, one after another, they were noticing him, and some were even plotting against him.

Luo Feng could feel strands of obscure causality beginning to entangle him. These causalities were very faint, yet obscure and profound; Luo Feng found it difficult to detect who these causal lines were connected to.

Precisely because he could not detect who they were connected to, Luo Feng could instead infer the result.

"With my realm, even my spiritual will cannot detect who these obscure causal lines are connected to; therefore, it must be the Emperors and Monarchs. Ultimate Realm life forms are complete in themselves and can isolate all causal prying; naturally, I cannot pry into them."

Suddenly—

The surrounding temperature rose, and formless white flames sprouted.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng's expression changed slightly.

The rules of operation of the surrounding heaven and earth had changed, turning into the rules of fire operation. Within the white flames spreading around, a female face made of fire emerged, looking coldly at Luo Feng.

Seeing the other party, Luo Feng immediately stood up and bowed politely: "Luohe greets the Emperor."

The woman who wielded such terrifying flames was none other than 'Di Wu', one of the thirteen Emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, who also held a life-and-death grudge against his master, Di Chu.

"The task of cultivating the Hunyuan bloodline beast eggs, you must accept it immediately." The female face ordered coldly.

"Emperor, I cannot accept it." Luo Feng shook his head.

The woman's eyes instantly turned much colder. The formless white flames instantly eroded Luo Feng's body. Luo Feng's world life form felt extreme pain; *hiss, hiss, hiss*, his body was almost instantly burned to the point of being illusory, and then his body began to recover again.

This terrifying flame deliberately restrained its power, burning Luo Feng's body to the brink of annihilation, yet without completely destroying this body.

"A world life form at merely the introductory level is still too weak in front of an Emperor." Luo Feng felt the huge gap at this moment.

"Just because you became Di Chu's disciple, you dare to refuse me?" The female face looked coldly at Luo Feng, "You must accept this task. If you dare to refuse... all the disciples of your sect, the Daohe Sect, will be turned into ashes."

Luo Feng's expression changed: "Emperor!"

An Emperor actually did not care about face at all, using the lives of all the disciples of the Daohe Sect to threaten him?

"Speak, do you agree or refuse?" The female face looked coldly at Luo Feng.

"Di Wu, are you threatening my disciple?" A dark, terrifying aura descended, wantonly eroding the surrounding white flames. The dark, terrifying aura formed a burly figure, staring at the female face, "If you dare to destroy all the disciples of the Daohe Sect, I will kill another one of your children. Guess who I will kill this time?"

The female face looked at the other party, her eyes filled with intense killing intent.

She had five children in total.

In the past years, two had been completely killed by Di Chu, not even having a chance at reincarnation! Now, three children remained!

If all her children died, she would have no attachments and would fight Di Chu to the death. But because three remained... she had to be extremely cautious.

"For the sake of one disciple, you threaten me?" The female face was angry.

"Yes, I am threatening you." Di Chu looked at the woman. As an Ultimate Realm life form of the Great Dao of Destruction, using powerful secret treasures to carry out a curse-kill, he could kill Di Wu's children whenever he wanted; they could not survive.

Even if they hid in the Di Wu Palace, under Di Chu's personal curse-kill, Di Wu could not protect her children.

"Good, very good." The female face sneered, then the white flames dissipated completely, and she also disappeared completely. "Master." Luo Feng looked at Di Chu.

"Have you witnessed their shamelessness?" The figure of Di Chu, condensed from the terrifying aura, laughed.

"I didn't expect an Emperor to use the lives of an entire sect to threaten me into doing something." Luo Feng had indeed had his eyes opened. To transcend God King-level secret treasures, using unscrupulous means could be understood.

But for just one task, using the lives of an entire sect to threaten him?

Luo Feng only felt that this so-called Emperor's actions were not even as dignified as those of ordinary God Kings or ordinary Chaos Realms.

Di Chu said: "When strength has no constraints and one can do whatever one wants, one needs a sufficient state of mind to control oneself."

Luo Feng nodded.

Invincible power, in the hands of a madman, is indeed terrifying.

"Cultivating the Hunyuan bloodline, the bloodline will pollutes oneself, so they act even more wantonly." Di Chu shook his head, "I also have to keep her three children to restrain her. In the future, if it involves Emperors or Monarchs, contact me immediately, and I will help you solve it."

"Sorry for the trouble, Master." Luo Feng was quite grateful.

"Of course, the best way is for you to grow up yourself." Di Chu smiled slightly and then left.

!.

Luo Feng nodded.

He had already given his all to the comprehension of the twenty-four phase forms.

A vast space.

Twelve thoughts gathered here, manifesting twelve blurry, towering figures; they were exactly the twelve Emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, excluding Di Qing!

Each of their auras was incomparably terrifying, as if each were a complete Great Dao descending. Some were world-destroying, some were endless abysses, and some were filled with endless vitality...

"This gathering was proposed by Di Yan." Di Fu said, "Di Yan proposed... stripping Luohe of his guest status! According to the royal family rules, to strip someone of guest status, at least half of the Emperors participating in the meeting must agree."

The guest system was established by the Progenitor.

Stripping someone of guest status was not something one or two Emperors could decide.

"Strip him of guest status?" Di Chu laughed, "My disciple Luohe, with exceptional talent, became a God King First Rebirth Realm invincible as soon as he became a God King. Now he has become a God King Second Rebirth Realm... The blade light he unleashed earlier is considered top-tier even at the God King Second Rebirth Realm."

"With such talent, Di Yan, you actually want to strip him of his guest status?" Di Chu shook his head.

"Does my royal family need to care about the talent of a casual cultivator? Even the Master of the Myriad Realms Kingdom dares not resist my Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom!" Di Yan sneered, "The majesty of my Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom is what is most important."

"How has he, a little fellow, offended the majesty of our Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom?" Di Chu said again.

Di Yan said coldly: "Since this Luohe became a God King, he has refused all tasks given to him, never accepting a single one! Instead, he used his status as an Emperor's disciple to claim inheritances worth over two hundred million in merit. A guest who only knows how to take and not how to contribute... I don't think the royal family needs such a guest!"

"The inheritances he claimed were gifted by me." Di Chu said, "It is also customary for an Emperor to give inheritances to his disciples."

"Although it is customary, he is unwilling to accept any task." Di Yan said.

"I met him personally and asked him to accept a task... but he didn't even put me, an Emperor, in his eyes and still refused." The fire woman Di Wu laughed softly, "If he ignores an Emperor's orders, what is the point of having such a guest?"

"You spoke personally, and he refused?" A gray, misty figure spoke, "Since an Emperor met him personally and ordered him to do something, he should have obediently accepted. To be so lacking in respect for status, I also agree to strip him of his guest status."

"What? Because your status is noble, he must obediently listen to you? He has no right to refuse?" Di Ming chuckled, "The Progenitor set the rules that guests have the right to refuse. Yet in front of you, Di Yuan, he has no right to refuse."

"In the eyes of those few, even an Emperor's disciple should be left for them to control and kill at will." Di Xuan said coldly from the side.

Di Fu felt quite a headache looking at this scene.

"Everyone, let's decide on Di Yan's proposal." Di Fu urged.

The result came out quickly.

Those who agreed to strip Luohe of his guest status were Di Yan, Di Xi, Di Wu, Di Yuan, and Di Wu—five in total.

In fact, the fact that Di Wu went to see Luo Feng and Luo Feng still refused made some Emperors dissatisfied. Some Emperors cared very much about status! A small casual cultivator not giving an Emperor face should be punished! This was also the reason Di Yan dared to propose stripping Luohe of his guest status.

It was just that Di Yan and his three companions had offended several Emperors too deeply over the long years.

For example, Di Xuan, who also cared very much about status, stood on the opposite side of Di Yan and his companions without hesitation. His disciple, 'Emperor Guixu', had been forced to such a point, and Di Xuan felt it was a great humiliation! Di Yan and his three companions had not cared about his, Di Xuan's, face at all!

Di Kong stood on the opposite side of Di Yan in every vote.

Therefore, in the end, those who did not agree were Di Chu, Di Ming, Di Xuan, Di Kong, Di Jiu Feng, and Di You—six in total.

Di Fu abstained.

"Di Fu, you abstained?" Di Yan was very angry. Before launching the proposal, he had inferred that the possibility of the proposal succeeding was very high. Who would have thought that 'Di Fu', whom he had bestowed many favors upon, would actually abstain.
