Chapter 224

"Is Luo He this tyrannical?"

Yin Yue Shenwang, Hai Mo Shenwang, Tian Yi Shenwang, Han Sen Guozhu, and An Tian Zunzhu were all stunned!

They were all Second-Weight Shenwang, including a Zunzhu from the Destruction Legion! This Luo He paid them not the slightest heed, demanding complete sole control over the entire Shiguo territory—and asking if they five had any objections?

"Luo He, you're being far too tyrannical!" Han Sen Guozhu roared; he was a sworn brother of Zi Mu Shenwang of Tianmu Kingdom, and most forces on the Origin Continent granted him some respect.

An Tian Zunzhu's eyes were icy, merely observing Luo Feng.

"Luo He Shenwang, you're claiming the entire Shiguo while we five stand here? Isn't that excessive?" Yin Yue Shenwang spoke up. "In my view, we should negotiate and divide Shiguo—each of our three factions takes a portion."

Yin Yue Shenwang had already sensed the situation was wrong.

An Tian Zunzhu's strength was already immense, and he represented the Destruction Legion. Luo He had just become a Shenwang yet could hold his own against Tiankun Guozhu; now, as a Second-Weight Shenwang, his power was utterly unpredictable. Yin Yue Shenwang no longer dreamed of monopolizing Shiguo.

"Han Sen Kingdom and Daohe Sect are both neighbors of Shiguo, each with only one Second-Weight Shenwang. You may take the thirty Chaos States adjacent to you." Yin Yue Shenwang said. "The remaining Chaos States go to our three Second-Weight Shenwang—how does that sound?"

"One hundred and thirty-five Chaos States? You and Luo He each take thirty, and you want us to take seventy-five?" Han Sen Guozhu laughed bitterly. "Yin Yue, are you dreaming?"

"Our three Second-Weight Shenwang, averaging twenty to thirty Chaos States each, isn't that reasonable?" Yin Yue Shenwang added.

"Han Sen Kingdom is already a second-rate nation. Getting even more Chaos States is more than enough!" Tian Yi Shenwang frowned.

"I demand at least fifty Chaos States!" Han Sen Guozhu declared.

At the Second-Weight Shenwang level, when none could overpower the others, negotiations determined the division of gains.

"Gentlemen."

Five silver-robed Luo Feng stood at a distance, watching them. "I made myself perfectly clear: the entire Shiguo territory belongs solely to Daohe Sect! There is no room for negotiation!"

Yin Yue Shenwang and Han Sen Guozhu, who had just begun negotiating, stared at Luo Feng in shock.

"If you refuse, we follow the old rule: strength decides." Luo Feng looked at them. "Bring your friends. Bring as many as you like—I'll send an equal number of my clones. One-on-one, guaranteed."

"Arrogant!"

"This Luo He!"

Yin Yue Shenwang, Han Sen Guozhu, and the others were all stunned and furious.

This Luo He was eating alone—leaving them not even a drop of broth.

"I give you ten breaths to decide. If you don't leave, I'll act." The five silver-robed Luo Feng stared coldly at them.

…

This clash within Shiguo, where six Second-Weight Shenwang gathered to determine its ownership, naturally drew attention from all corners of the Origin Continent.

"Han Sen Guozhu is so mediocre, he can barely protect his own kingdom—yet dares to covet part of Shiguo?" Di Chu watched from afar. "Yin Yue dragging two allies—does he really think he can compete with my disciple?"

In strength, intimidation, and background, his disciple Luo Feng surpassed Han Sen Guozhu and Yin Yue Shenwang.

In Di Chu's eyes, even occupying the current twenty Chaos States was too little for his disciple! Taking all of Shiguo's territory barely matched Luo Feng's true power.

"But this time, he'll reveal some of his true strength." Di Chu smiled as he watched. "Last time he unleashed his blade light, he defeated a common Second-Weight Shenwang—proving his realm is already extremely high. But that clearly wasn't his full power."

His disciple was advancing too fast; Di Chu himself didn't fully grasp how strong Luo Feng had become.

…

"After Tiankun was killed, his neighbors and Yin Yue Shenwang have begun scheming for his kingdom." Di Yan also watched from afar; he had no interest in the struggle over Shiguo's territory.

What Di Yan cared about was the killer of Tiankun!

"Everyone on the Origin Continent knows Tiankun followed me." Di Yan's eyes turned icy. "The killer didn't care about my face—he still killed Tiankun and the other two."

"This killer…"

Di Yan waved his hand, and before him appeared the image of a black-robed man with a golden mask—his aura profound, radiating immense terror.

"Who are you?" Di Yan frowned.

Merely seeing this image, Di Yan felt an overwhelming threat in his soul.

"Feng Du, the being from Ying Tianjie, Da Di Shenwang, Huo Zu, Zong Fu—they five never gave me such a threat." Di Yan observed. "You're hiding deep. But as long as you care about resources, and keep acting again and again, you'll eventually expose yourself."

Di Yan continued watching the battle.

"This Luo He has exceptional talent. If left unchecked, he might become another Zong Fu!" Di Yan watched the scene. "Too bad Di Chu protects him—and Di Fu seems to favor this Luo He too."

Di Fu had even sent Luo Feng to guard the Celestial Pillar Realm—his stance was clear.

"As a member of the imperial clan, yet siding with free-roaming cultivators." Di Yan held hostility toward all free-roaming cultivators. Too bad—even the founding ancestors of both nations held some goodwill toward them; he couldn't change it.

…

Powerful figures across the Origin Continent—including Feng Du Empress, Gui Xu Di Jun, Wu Xin Shenwang, and Yu Shui Guozhu, who were friends of Luo Feng—watched the battle. Even Di Chu Ying and Di Chu Yu observed the clash via recordings from the Yan Feng Guild.

"I wonder how much of my disciple's power he'll reveal this time." The Shan Ke in Lei Ting Kingdom, using recordings from the Lei Ting Trading Guild, watched with a smile.

At this moment, above the Shiguo capital, invisible forces clashed.

World force suppressed all directions, while destruction energy, icy breath, and surging water currents resisted—Yin Yue Shenwang and the other three, along with Han Sen Guozhu and An Tian Zunzhu, were all ready to strike.

They wouldn't flee just because Luo He spoke a few words!

"Luo He, let's divide Shiguo together—it benefits us all!" Yin Yue Shenwang continued.

"Ten breaths are up!" Five silver-robed Luo Feng raised their hands simultaneously, each palm revealing a blade of light.

This blade of light appeared entirely black at first glance, its edges glowing a deep azure.

Hun Dong Bu Mie Guang—the blade light nurtured within Luo Feng's inner world. The stronger his inner world, the more blade light he could store, pushing the "Hun Dong Bu Mie Guang" to higher levels.

After reaching the Twenty-Four Phases form of a World Life, each of the five clones now possessed a far stronger inner world—though still inferior to the true body, each bore faint traces of "Ultimate-Life" characteristics.

The Hun Dong Bu Mie Guang nurtured by such inner worlds was unimaginably powerful.

When Yin Yue Shenwang and the other four saw the five black blade lights in the palms of Luo Feng's clones, their hearts lurched instinctively.

"Go!" The five silver-robed Luo Feng released the blade lights simultaneously.

Shiiiiii!

In the instant the five black blade lights shot out, they reached the five Second-Weight Shenwang.

Too fast—there was no escape!

"Puff!"

Han Sen Guozhu was instantly split in two from waist to abdomen, his eyes filled with terror! The blade light had grown massive—this first strike instantly annihilated nearly half his divine power reserves, then continued slicing.

"Two more cuts and I'm dead?" Han Sen Guozhu panicked, immediately abandoning his true body. His resurrection vessel, far away in Tianmu Kingdom, had already awakened.

!.

Hun Dong Bu Mie Guang!

It sought to cut through all things, pursuing ultimate sharpness—but its erosion and annihilation power was weaker. Usually, it required multiple cuts and repeated annihilations to fully destroy a body.

This was Luo Feng's kindness.

Hun Dong Bu Mie Guang sliced repeatedly, giving the opponent ample time to revive via their "resurrection vessel."

If he'd used something like "Great Annihilation," with its overwhelming destruction and erosion, a weak Second-Weight Shenwang might be instantly erased—without even time to reincarnate.

After all, this was merely a territorial dispute—no need to be too cruel. Besides… Luo Feng had no intention of revealing "Great Annihilation" yet. With his body's sheer resilience, ordinary techniques were more than enough.

Hun Dong Bu Mie Guang, a fusion of five major branches, was already powerful enough.

"Puff."

Hai Mo Shenwang's body was formed from endless water—but a massive blade of light sliced through, instantly severing a portion of his water-based divine power. Hai Mo Shenwang's eyes widened in terror.

"Just one strike, and two-tenths of my divine power in this clone is gone?" Hai Mo Shenwang was stunned. Though it was only a regular clone, Luo He had only sent a clone too.

Both were Second-Weight Shenwang, both using clones—how could the gap be this vast?

"Puff puff puff." This blade of light was condensed from endless blade energy, its reserves terrifying and self-recovering. It moved at extreme speed, striking repeatedly.

"Is this blade light really that terrifying?" In the blink of an eye, Hai Mo Shenwang's body was completely annihilated.

"Yin Yue, Luo He is too strong—retreat!" Hai Mo Shenwang's true body, far away, sent a causal message.

"Puff."

Tian Yi Shenwang's figure grew hazy; the instant he was struck, he fled ten trillion kilometers away.

But the pursuing blade light flashed and caught up, slicing through his hazy form again.

"Huh huh huh." Tian Yi Shenwang's hazy body flickered wildly, bizarrely—but the blade light locked onto him, relentlessly chasing.

"Yin Yue, retreat—this Luo He is terrifying." Tian Yi Shenwang sent a message. "I'm leaving first!"

Hu.

Immediately, Tian Yi Shenwang's clone—having lost over half its divine power—flickered and vanished entirely, leaving the vast surrounding territory. Luo Feng's Hun Dong Bu Mie Guang could no longer lock onto its target.

Tian Yi Shenwang followed the Boundless Origin Path; if he fled over extreme distances, Hun Dong Bu Mie Guang couldn't lock on.

Only within Luo Feng's world-force coverage could the blade light pursue.

"Hai Mo's clone is gone, Tian Yi's clone escaped." Yin Yue Shenwang was his true body, his massive form battling the terrifying blade light before him.

This blade light cut through all things.

It carved deep wounds into Yin Yue Shenwang's body, eroding and destroying it—but Yin Yue Shenwang's wounds healed rapidly.

"This blade light…"

An Tian Zunzhu stood still; the blade light slashed against his black scales, shattering only one or two scales—before they instantly regenerated. Black mist rose around him, trying to entangle the blade.

But the blade light moved far faster than any Shenwang, swift and unpredictable, relentlessly slicing An Tian Zunzhu's body—each time shattering one or two scales, each time they healed instantly.

"Now only you two remain." The five silver-robed Luo Feng stared at An Tian Zunzhu and Yin Yue Shenwang.

Luo Feng had also sensed the difference in strength.

An Tian Zunzhu—no wonder he was the most terrifying existence of the Destruction Legion! Even Luo Feng's "Hun Dong Bu Mie Guang" merely scratched him.

Yin Yue Shenwang's strength was average—he couldn't withstand Luo Feng's Hun Dong Bu Mie Guang at all—but his body's vitality was extraordinarily resilient.

"Go." Luo Feng waved his hand.

The five black blade lights converged on Yin Yue Shenwang simultaneously.

"Five against me?" Yin Yue Shenwang's face changed. One blade light, swift and elusive, he couldn't block—only endure. Five blade lights attacking together?

"This Luohe is not to be trifled with." Silver Moon Shenwang gritted his teeth and instantly transformed into a streak of light, diving into the void. Even as five slashes of blade light rained down upon him, carving dozens of wounds that sprayed hair and blood across the heavens, Silver Moon Shenwang forcibly escaped.

He didn't want it anymore—he abandoned the territory of Shi Country!

With Luohe Shenwang as his neighbor, he could not hold his land.

"Dark Heaven Lord, you are the last one left." The five silver-robed Luo Fengs regarded Dark Heaven Lord with a faint smile; the five blades of light returned at once, reabsorbed into their inner worlds.
