Chapter 287

Time flowed on.

A black flying boat had already begun its return journey, flying toward Yulan City.

In the front hall of the flying boat, Di Qing piloted the boat, observing and sensing in all directions. Luo Feng sat to the side, the imitation Eye of Life and Destruction between his brows open, sighing with emotion while observing the vast range in all directions.

"It has been over seven hundred epochs since I arrived in Yulan City, and this is my third hunt with Di Qing, but my 'Dao of Life and Destruction' still hasn't been able to break through to the early stage of God Emperor." Luo Feng sighed inwardly.

Seven hundred epochs is a very long time.

In the Origin Continent, it only took Luo Feng five hundred epochs to grow from an Eternal True God to being able to kill Di Yuan.

"Like the two paths of Life and Destruction, I reached the early stage of God Emperor just by cultivating them a little. But for the two to fuse... it is much harder." Luo Feng shook his head gently; he had consumed some auxiliary cultivation treasures, had the "Eye of Life and Destruction" to observe a large number of low-level Using Hunyuan lifeform materials, and also had the help of treasures like the "Undying Heart," "Eye of Life and Destruction," and "Star Tower," so his cultivation could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.

But the Dao of Life and Destruction is too vast.

"Brother Luo Feng, I originally thought that by the third hunt, I would have broken through to the middle stage of God Emperor and should be equal to you in strength." Di Qing was to the side, his emotions still quite stirred, sighing, "Who would have thought that your strength would have taken another big step forward compared to the last hunt!"

"I just created a physical body technique." Luo Feng said.

"This physical body technique of yours is truly terrifying." Di Qing exclaimed, "I just reached the middle stage of God Emperor, and when the two of us teamed up, I never expected that we would be able to kill a low-level Using Hunyuan lifeform at the middle stage of God Emperor."

Luo Feng smiled.

Yes.

In their third hunt, they killed a total of seven low-level Using Hunyuan lifeforms at the "early stage of God Emperor" and one low-level Using Hunyuan lifeform at the "middle stage of God Emperor."

"Relying on your physical body, you fought head-on with that Flame-Ferocious Beast and occupied an overwhelming advantage; I only provided support for you, and you forcibly killed that middle-stage God Emperor Flame-Ferocious Beast." Di Qing still clearly remembered that scene.

Luo Feng revealed a powerful physical body technique, his entire body covered in a layer of blood-colored scales; those blood-colored scales had terrifying defensive capabilities, and the Flame-Ferocious Beast's frantic attacks on Luo Feng only left a few cracks on the scales on his body surface, which recovered quickly.

But with every strike from Luo Feng, the Flame-Ferocious Beast would have huge wounds on its body, and Luo Feng dragged it with one hand and attacked frantically with the other, with blood waves rolling and sweeping; the Flame-Ferocious Beast couldn't even escape.

Di Qing only used his sword array to provide auxiliary attacks, adding a few fierce hits to the Flame-Ferocious Beast, and Luo Feng completely killed the Flame-Ferocious Beast.

"My physical body is only equivalent to a low-level Using Hunyuan lifeform at the middle stage of God Emperor." Luo Feng laughed.

It was indeed only equivalent.

Because Luo Feng's moves for killing enemies and protecting himself were more profound, and he had the help of two major secret treasures, he was able to suppress that Flame-Ferocious Beast in all aspects.

"Being able to be on par with the physical body of a low-level Using Hunyuan lifeform at the middle stage of God Emperor is already very terrifying." Di Qing sighed and said, "Their advantage is their physical body. Our advantage is our realm. With your realm, exerting such a physical body... one-on-one, you could hunt low-level Using Hunyuan lifeforms at the middle stage of God Emperor."

"Normal middle-stage God Emperor hunting teams have at least three experienced middle-stage God Emperor cultivators, and at most six or seven." Di Qing said, "Your strength now is considered an extremely strong level among middle-stage God Emperors."

Di Qing praised him, his mood very complicated.

He had thought that he had broken through and become a middle-stage God Emperor. This time, the distribution of spoils should have qualified him for a 50-50 split.

"By the way, for the distribution of spoils this time, let's make it 30-70." Di Qing said.

"Didn't we agree on a 50-50 split?" Luo Feng looked at him.

When they set off, both sides had agreed.

At that time, Luo Feng had also borrowed some Using Hunyuan Crystals from Di Qing to buy a secret treasure array map, which was also used to assist this physical body.

"I didn't expect that you would be able to kill a low-level Using Hunyuan lifeform at the middle stage of God Emperor by yourself." Di Qing said, "I took advantage last time, but not this time! 30-70 is enough."

If it were 20-80, in terms of contribution, Di Qing wouldn't have been limited to just one-fifth.

30-70, taking thirty percent! Di Qing felt it was enough.

Luo Feng looked at Di Qing's eyes, understood the other party's thoughts, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Good, then let's make it 30-70."

Having been in Yulan City for over seven hundred epochs, although the Dao of Life and Destruction had never been able to become "early stage of God Emperor." Yet during the cultivation process, Luo Feng's accumulation had become deeper and deeper, and he had also created some secret techniques for the coordination of Life and Destruction.

The strongest secret technique among them was this physical body secret technique created by using the "blood-colored scales of the Star Tower" as a template and absorbing the profound mysteries of the powerful battle body within the "Undying Heart."

It was called the "Undying Blood Sea Body"! This technique is the highest achievement in Luo Feng's current cultivation path.

His pure physical body could rival a low-level Using Hunyuan lifeform at the middle stage of God Emperor!

"I only excavated a few of the profound mysteries of the Star Tower's blood-colored scales and the Undying Heart to create such a technique." Luo Feng was very clear, "When my realm advances further, this physical body technique can continue to be perfected."

Past physical body techniques required the use of formless and imageless changes.

But now, the physical body must rely entirely on his own comprehension! The path of Life is inherently thorough in its research in this aspect, and Luo Feng's contemplation went smoothly.

"Luo Feng's growth speed is indeed terrifying." As Luo Feng's teammate, Di Qing clearly felt Luo Feng's growth speed, "Having been in Yulan City for only a short seven hundred epochs, he went from being slightly inferior to me in strength at the beginning to now being considered an extremely strong level among middle-stage God Emperor cultivators. If he advances further, wouldn't he be a late-stage God Emperor cultivator?"

The ancestors of the two nations only had this level of strength.

"Is this the talent of the top handful of people in countless worlds?" Di Qing sighed secretly; he was incomparably dazzling in the Origin Continent, but compared to the massive number of powerhouses in many Origin Worlds and billions of worlds, he could only be called "one in ten thousand."

Within one reincarnation era of an Origin World, Di Qing became a middle-stage God Emperor cultivator, which is nothing short of stunning. There are only a few tens of thousands of people in Yulan City with such strength. This includes many old guys who have cultivated for endless years.

"In the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, I count as one in ten thousand. This Luo Feng is at least one in a hundred million." Di Qing thought secretly.

The black flying boat continued to fly. After Di Qing reached the middle stage of God Emperor in the Great Dao of Space, his ability to observe the void also greatly improved.

"Hmm?" Di Qing carefully sensed the surroundings; the surrounding Heaven and Earth were very normal, clouds and mist were rolling in the distance, and dust was also swirling on the ground.

"We have fallen into an array formation." Di Qing transmitted to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng remained calm on the surface, but he became vigilant in his heart.

"I didn't sense any danger." Luo Feng's imitation Eye of Life and Destruction was also observing.

"It is a very powerful Void technique; the transition of the Void was very natural, and I only sensed it after falling into the array formation. I will turn around immediately and flee at full speed." Di Qing transmitted.

The enemy didn't rush to make a move; they were just patiently waiting for them to go deeper into the array formation.

But once they turned around to flee, the enemy would likely make a move immediately.

"Shoo!"

The black flying boat suddenly turned around and darted away at super speed.

【Note: This line appears to be a garbled placeholder or system error in the source text.】

"Hum." A huge array map phantom appeared around the flying boat, covering the surface of the flying boat with a layer of sword light! The sword light enveloped the flying boat, making its escape speed much faster.

"They discovered it?"

"They are quite sharp."

A huge picture emerged from the void; the range of the picture was extremely vast, and the black flying boat piloted by Luo Feng and the others was just a small black dot in the huge picture.

"You entered my secret treasure, and you still want to escape?" A cold laugh came from the void all around.

"Rip."

Above the black flying boat, a pair of palms suddenly condensed and formed.

This pair of giant palms erupted suddenly, the profound mysteries of Life and Destruction erupted, forcibly tearing a rift in the huge picture, and the black flying boat immediately followed the rift and whooshed out of this painting.

"Hmm?" Five figures stood in different positions, looking at the black flying boat that had escaped.

"So it is our friends from the Ghost Workshop."

The black flying boat disappeared, and Luo Feng and Di Qing appeared, quite polite.

Luo Feng also observed the five figures occupying positions in the distance; among the three major plunder forces, the first one to try to steal his treasures was from the Insect Nest, the last plunder team he encountered was from the Myriad Shadow Small Tower, and this time he encountered the Ghost Workshop.

He had already dealt with all three major plunder forces.

"The leader of the Ghost Workshop has very special cultivation methods; he calls himself the 'Lord of the Ghost Realm', and his methods are extremely ruthless. His subordinates are mostly the same." Luo Feng naturally knew some general intelligence about the Ghost Workshop.

"Di Qing, your sword array, and the giant hand that could escape the secret treasure painting just now... it seems both of you have reached the middle stage of God Emperor." The five figures looked at Luo Feng and the others.

"Everyone, shall we follow the rules?" Di Qing said.

Their side being able to escape the ambush was already proof of their strength.

According to the rules, paying a fee was considered the hard-earned money for the plunder team.

"Dealing with the two of them is not easy." A tall figure transmitted, "Take a fee and let them go."

"According to intelligence, Di Qing and Luo Feng were both at the early stage of God Emperor in the past. Even if they broke through to the middle stage of God Emperor, they haven't been at it for long and don't have deep accumulations." A cold man with a blood-colored vertical mark between his brows transmitted, "The five of us are all at the middle stage of God Emperor, have cooperated for a long time, and are experienced. Teaming up to deal with them... we have a great chance of success."

"Both of them are from Origin Worlds; even if we destroy them, they might still have clones."

"Those who come out of Origin Worlds sometimes have some very special treasures; if we get one, we will make a fortune." The cold man transmitted.

As soon as these words were spoken, the other four were all tempted.

Yes.

Compared to the "free-range" raising of billions of worlds, powerhouses from Origin Worlds obtained more resources; things like special lifeform remains, natural secret treasures, and even some treasures exchanged from the Infinite Space made powerhouses from billions of worlds drool.

Luo Feng and Di Qing were extremely vigilant.

"Rules?"

"Outside Yulan City, there are no rules!" The cold man smiled coldly, "Today, both of you must die!"

As soon as the words fell.

Black rain appeared, covering the vast area around them; within this vast area, that huge picture appeared again, once again enveloping Luo Feng and Di Qing.

"They want to kill us!" Di Qing's face changed drastically, and there was madness in his eyes.

When encountering plunderers, not everyone follows the rules.

Once they don't follow the rules, it is the naked law of the jungle!

"Di Qing, I will deal with four, and you deal with one!" Luo Feng had cold killing intent in his eyes.
