Even under the combined assault of Luo Feng’s array and the Elder arrays, this legion’s losses remained relatively light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disperse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng’s mind stirred, and suddenly the black-green mist within Yulan City became ethereal and transparent, no longer obscuring vision, allowing all four legions to observe each other from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The array mist has thinned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can see the other three legions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, they realized that while the first legion fled in frantic retreat, the other three legions had noticeably slowed their flight speed and continued to divert attention to slaughtering cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the strongest second legion, ethereal black-green mist enveloped and covered the area, surrounded by the Elder arrays’ assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A colossal, furry claw emerged without warning from nothingness. The legion’s layered defenses, which covered the entire massive formation, had limited strength at any single point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This colossal claw instantly pierced through the layered defensive energies, sweeping past countless low-level Hunyuan lives; whether Divine Emperor Late-Stage or Divine Emperor Perfect, any low-level Hunyuan life touched by the claw was torn apart, their life cores shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shattered corpses were automatically absorbed into the space contained within the claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Repel it!” Panic erupted throughout the legion; they abandoned slaughter entirely and immediately united to repel the furry claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seventeen leaders dead. Two hundred thirteen core clan members dead.” The second legion immediately confirmed their losses, deeply shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavenly array’s death curse posed no threat to leaders—it targeted only core clan members, and each strike claimed only one or two… Though the death rate imposed pressure, it hadn’t caused panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaders were dying in batches! These leaders were the very core of the legion’s rule—so many wiped out in a single swipe—who wouldn’t be terrified?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Luo Feng’s secret treasure claw.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t determine Luo Feng’s exact location!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This secret treasure claw is terrifying in power and mysteriously skillful—we can’t track it! And it’s indestructible; we can’t destroy it. We can barely repel it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire legion comprised over 800 low-level Hunyuan lives at the Divine Emperor Perfect stage, each possessing unique abilities, yet they were utterly helpless against Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the terrifying body empowered by the Indestructible Heart, when wielding the “Palm Realm,” was already fearsomely potent. Moreover, Luo Feng activated the technique by triggering the secret runes within the “Palm Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of technique mastery, it surpassed the pure “Divine Emperor Late-Stage Life-Death Dao” by a notch; to these low-level Hunyuan lives, who relied solely on bloodline, the claw’s technique seemed too mysterious, too elusive to comprehend!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colossal claw struck without warning from the rear of the legion, killing over two hundred legion members and bringing down more than ten leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again and again, the claw struck, and Luo Feng never paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the aid of the heavenly array and the Elder arrays, this legion could do nothing against Luo Feng, forced to watch helplessly as their numbers dwindled with ever heavier casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If this slaughter continues, the entire legion won’t have a single survivor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third and fourth legions, far away, now saw the scenes of Luo Feng repeatedly striking the second legion, thanks to the ethereal black-green mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight made them tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once Luo Feng wipes out that legion, he’ll come for us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With his killing speed, no legion can hold out long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We must flee immediately! We must flee with all our strength!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t afford to divert attention to slaughter anymore—we must devote every ounce of energy to escape, flee at maximum speed. Otherwise, not a single one of us will survive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thoughts within the third and fourth legions shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, they believed that with the full strength of their legions, even while diverting to slaughter, most could still escape—and more leaders would survive. So they were willing to take the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now? If they didn’t flee, death was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a single breath, the third and fourth legions reached unanimous agreement: flee immediately!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve already killed enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s flee now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we die here, what use is bloodline evolution?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had slaughtered for too short a time to regain freedom. Yet some members who had killed the most still had a chance at bloodline evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only if they survived until the moment they received the “blessing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both legions ceased slaughter and began fleeing at full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many cultivators nearby, who had already despaired, stared in shock at this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We survived?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The low-level Hunyuan life legions have stopped slaughtering—they’re fleeing at full speed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators realized that only the strongest presence in Yulan City could have forced the low-level Hunyuan lives to halt their slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The third and fourth legions have stopped slaughtering.” Luo Feng observed this from afar—he had made the black-green mist ethereal precisely to frighten the remaining two legions with the horrific sight of the second legion and drive them to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps then, more low-level Hunyuan lives would escape the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at least, more cultivators would survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom—boom—boom—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng continued his furious assault on the second legion; now that the third and fourth legions had fled, he turned his full strength against the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colossal claw struck again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Feng, stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t cease, and give us no chance of survival, we’ll die— but we’ll slaughter far more cultivators first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll sacrifice everything to slaughter—before our entire legion is destroyed, we’ll kill at least ten million cultivators.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Voices echoed across the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the entire second legion halted its retreat, assuming a posture of total commitment to slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng frowned, and the colossal claw he had extended retracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To completely annihilate this legion would still take considerable time. In that time, they could indeed slaughter over ten million cultivators.” Luo Feng understood—their threat was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after seeing the colossal claw retract did the low-level Hunyuan lives of the second legion finally exhale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally—it had stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the cost of mutual destruction, they had finally made this Luo Feng, the Divine Emperor, hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We will no longer slaughter cultivators. You must not attack us further.” One of the second legion’s leaders spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Yulan City array will continue to suppress you,” Luo Feng said. “But I, personally, will cease my secret treasure assaults.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Agreed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We trust you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second legion knew well—they had no choice but to trust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick, quick—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second legion also fled at full speed; they now had only over 500 Divine Emperor Perfect and 7,000 Divine Emperor Late-stage cultivators left—severely weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, all four legions in Yulan City fled at full speed, no longer daring to slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng’s countless clones stood above Yulan City, watching the four legions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Feng’s strength in the Nine River Sacred Realm is now absolute.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elders felt only relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overall cultivation level of the Nine River Sacred Realm’s cultivators was vastly inferior to that of the Dark Sacred Realm. Luo Feng’s strength, which was peak-level even in the Dark Sacred Realm, was naturally unstoppable in the Nine River Sacred Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The number of cultivators who died in Yulan City exceeds sixteen million!” As Yulan City’s lord, Luo Feng instantly confirmed the losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The early infiltrating low-level Hunyuan lives had caused minimal casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive losses came primarily from the four legions’ slaughter during their retreat—even with Luo Feng’s full suppression, casualties remained horrific.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So many cultivators dead—and you still think you can leave alive?” Luo Feng’s gaze turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core array layer of Yulan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng was fully engrossed in inscribing the second-layer array, nearing completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the city fell, Luo Feng had broken through to the “Divine Emperor Late-Stage Life-Death Dao” and begun arranging the first-layer array; just as the low-level Hunyuan life legions neared the core zone, he completed the first-layer array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the four legions begin retreating—slowing their escape as they slaughtered. Before they could flee Yulan City, Luo Feng completed the second-layer array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hum.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second-layer array completed, naturally merging with the first-layer array into a unified whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng willed it—and the original “Azure Sky, Black Earth” array of Yulan City gradually turned chaotic, the black-green mist transforming into “Chaos Mist,” enveloping and suppressing the four legions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something's wrong—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four retreating legions all felt the chaotic mist’s power surge dramatically, rapidly eroding layer upon layer of defenses, while invisible assassinations struck without warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The formation’s power has strengthened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s gotten much stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold the line!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They poured all their strength into defense, yet the invisible assassinations still claimed member after member—nearly every breath saw dozens perishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is the formation’s power so terrifying?\" At this moment, they couldn’t even attempt a suicidal explosion—defending against the formation already drained them completely; if they dropped their guard, they’d be instantly drowned by the chaotic mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold the line!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These lowly Chaotic Origin beings, under the assault of the chaotic mist and as their members continued to die in droves, saw their defenses constantly develop breaches—each breach allowed the mist to seep into the legions, instantly killing even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry, hurry, break out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first legion had been the first to flee at full speed; now nearing the city wall, they spared no cost, dying and wounded by the second—until finally, their entire legion burst beyond the borders of Yulan City!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they broke free, they were overwhelmed with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We made it!
