Chapter 64: Lie Yuan Technique

“Boom—boom—boom~~~” At this moment, the Blood Cloud Shenjun felt as if a vast world had crushed down upon him; the soil and rocks all around were instantly squeezed into annihilation, and boundless destruction enveloped every corner.

Indiscriminate coverage! The range is too vast!

He unleashed his full power to perform Earth Submersion, yet beneath the Chaos Domain, his submersion speed was slower than usual. The entire Blood Cloud Array had already Dunxing a hundred billion kilometers deep—but still, it was completely engulfed by a colossal foot!

The Blood Cloud Array instantly scattered like mist, crushed under the giant foot to a depth of over a trillion kilometers; countless blood mists were utterly annihilated by this ferocious stomp.

“Shhh.” Deep beneath Luo Feng’s foot, a wisp of blood mist spontaneously coalesced, forming a blood-mist body.

“Still alive?” Towering Luo Feng gazed down, having stamped out a trillion-kilometer footprint; he was surprised Blood Cloud Shenjun still lived.

“You destroyed over eighty percent of my divine body with one step—how is that possible?” Blood Cloud Shenjun was terrified—truly terrified.

He did not want to die!

He could sacrifice everything for his own cultivation, but if he himself ceased to exist, what did all those eons of effort amount to?

He cherished himself above all—his own life was the most precious thing! Only by surviving could he reach true supremacy!

“Huff.” Blood Cloud Shenjun barely managed to condense this divine body and immediately performed Earth Submersion again.

“Running?”

Luo Feng’s body instantly shrank to two hundred billion kilometers in height, then activated the Ten Thousand Worlds Submersion Talisman to traverse the void—“Void Submersion” was vastly superior to Earth Submersion; earth, water, stone, and cities were all parts of the void, all accessible through Void Submersion.

Yet earth was dense—even with the “Ten Thousand Worlds Submersion Talisman,” the distance he could traverse was short.

Whoosh!

Luo Feng teleported to the depths hundreds of billions of kilometers underground; the instant he appeared, he felt himself pushing aside countless layers of soil and rock—but those dense layers also pressed against him! This was precisely why Luo Feng had shrunk his size.

His full-power stomp had only reached a trillion kilometers deep; he had already estimated the pressure the soil and rock would exert. At two hundred billion kilometers tall, the compression within the earth… had minimal impact on his strength.

“Mo Luo Sa, be ready to strike!” Luo Feng carried the Chaos Currents with him, continuously teleporting downward to hunt the severely wounded Blood Cloud Shenjun.

“So fast.” Blood Cloud Shenjun sensed Luo Feng approaching. “The Chaos Domain combined with spatial traversal is indeed ideal for pursuit. But underground, everywhere is dense, heavy soil and rock.”

Boom!

A colossal hand, radiating world-destroying might, tore through countless layers of soil and rock—and ripped through the very location where Blood Cloud Shenjun stood.

Blood Cloud Shenjun saw a massive hand instantly crushing toward him; terrified, his body spontaneously dispersed.

Luo Feng’s height was now two hundred billion kilometers, but his palms had grown enormous—each palm stretched a hundred billion kilometers long! Swinging these shield-like hands, each strike was “Five Directions Shatter Heaven Blade,” and each was fueled by maximum divine power combustion.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Luo Feng pursued relentlessly, striking again and again; his five fingers became five blades, leaving behind black spatial tears wherever they passed, destroying everything—and dismantling Blood Cloud Shenjun’s divine body.

No matter how unpredictably he reshaped his body or how adept he was at submersion, before Luo Feng’s overwhelming area-of-effect assaults, he could only endure one terrifying strike after another.

“This Blood Cloud Shenjun seems to possess extraordinary vitality. He’s been weakened drastically, reduced to nothing by my blows—yet he still coalesces from nothingness?”

“As I suspected, he’s exceptionally skilled at survival.” Luo Feng remained patient; after drastically shrinking his divine body, even with maximum divine power combustion, each strike consumed far less energy.

Now, dozens of strikes consumed only as much as one stomp in his original colossal form!

“Earth Rebirth!” Though seemingly annihilated into nothingness, a trace of blood mist reformed, coalescing into Blood Cloud Shenjun’s figure.

“Within the earth, I can continuously draw power. But his destruction rate exceeds my recovery.” Blood Cloud Shenjun had never imagined he’d be driven to this brink.

He had once believed that without the Hu Yang City Array, no Eternal True God of the Yu Kingdom could kill him in a one-on-one duel.

Yet before that boundless towering divine body and its overwhelming, all-encompassing attacks, Blood Cloud Shenjun felt utterly powerless.

“So this is the true power of an Infinite Divine Body—maximizing ‘Size at Will’ and ‘Divine Power Reserve.’ I must find a way—continue like this, and I’ll be utterly annihilated.” Even at this moment, Blood Cloud Shenjun remained calm, searching for an opening.

Luo Feng pursued; Blood Cloud Shenjun fled, continuously diving deeper underground.

As depth increased, the pressure from the earth grew ever more terrifying; Luo Feng was even forced to shrink his size further, his palms reduced significantly.

“Now!”

A brilliant flash of crimson light erupted.

Blood Cloud Shenjun frantically burned his divine power; his previously ethereal “blood-mist body” transformed into a dazzling crimson light, submerging through the earth at a speed far exceeding his previous pace.

During his pursuit, Luo Feng had kept his Deathless Wings unfurled; the Chaos Domain spread everywhere, with boundless Chaos Currents flowing across the vast expanse.

“Strike!” Luo Feng sensed Blood Cloud Shenjun’s remaining divine power burning furiously—he was desperate—and immediately sent a mental message to Mo Luo Sa.

Mo Luo Sa’s wisp of Chaos Current had long been positioned deep beneath Blood Cloud Shenjun.

Shhh!

Blood Cloud Shenjun was indeed diving deeper underground—he excelled at Earth Submersion, and the deeper he went, the greater his chance of survival.

“Shhh~~~”

Suddenly, a colossal blood-red maw appeared before him—so vast it resembled an endless dark abyss, and an immense, terrifying suction force enveloped the fleeing Blood Cloud Shenjun.

“No!” Blood Cloud Shenjun shuddered in terror—more terrified than when he first saw Luo Feng’s towering form.

How could such a gigantic blood maw exist at these extreme depths underground?

Under the suction force, Blood Cloud Shenjun realized he could not resist!

“Die.” Mo Luo Sa manifested his towering form underground, his head monstrously huge; his blood maw surged forward, swallowing the prey whole—then snapped shut!

As his jaws closed, Blood Cloud Shenjun felt surrounded by a crimson-red world—death had already enveloped him.

“No—” Death had never been so close; Blood Cloud Shenjun felt as if he were going mad.

All those eons of hiding, all sacrifices made to reach this point—he refused to die! He wanted to live! To survive!

“Boom!” The brilliant crimson light, already moving at incredible speed, suddenly vanished into phantasm—disappearing from Mo Luo Sa’s mouth, reappearing behind him, continuing to plunge deeper underground.

“What?” Mo Luo Sa was stunned.

Something swallowed could just… vanish?

The single wisp of crimson light—Blood Cloud Shenjun—was now filled with wild elation!

“Ha! Ha! Ha! I knew it! I knew it! I lacked sufficient trial—a true battle on the edge of life and death—finally pushed me past the final step.”

“My bloodline… has finally evolved.”

“Bloodline evolution—I now master the complete Chaos Law!” Blood Cloud Shenjun was ecstatic; at that very moment, it was his evolved bloodline’s innate talent—Chaos Transit—that allowed him to slip free, even Mo Luo Sa’s jaws unable to hold him.

“I’ll spare Luo He for now—I need time for my miniature universe to evolve, and even more time for my divine body to transform. Once my power is fully stabilized, I’ll kill him. This life-or-death grudge? I’m not even bullying the weak!” Blood Cloud Shenjun felt utterly exhilarated.

“Bloodline evolution” on the bloodline cultivation path was merely the beginning of entering the Chaos Realm.

Just as on the Law path, after comprehending “Chaos Law,” one still needed to expand and transform the miniature universe, evolve divine power, and forge a stronger Chaos Realm divine body—then later, cultivate corresponding high-level secret arts… requiring sufficient time to solidify one’s power.

!.

Now, Blood Cloud Shenjun’s divine power remained weak—but he now wielded Chaos Law effortlessly, each movement a masterful technique, no longer needing to painstakingly combine nine techniques as before.

“Luo He, I must thank you—for giving me enough pressure—” Blood Cloud Shenjun, fleeing, felt unprecedented joy.

The pursuit of countless eons had finally been achieved.

“Hm?” Blood Cloud Shenjun suddenly “saw” a pair of eyes—Luo Feng’s eyes.

In that instant, everything vanished; Blood Cloud Shenjun could no longer sense his power, his bloodline—his perception held only those two terrifying eyes.

“Boom!”

Those eyes were immensely heavy, like infinite towering stars crushing down—instantly annihilating Blood Cloud Shenjun.

The gap was so vast, he had not a single ounce of resistance.

Clash of wills!

Luo Feng’s will had long reached the peak of Chaos Dominance, amplified by the Origin Continent’s one-of-a-kind “Lie Yuan Technique”; Blood Cloud Shenjun’s will had barely reached Chaos Dominance level.

Instant annihilation—not a trace remained.

The fleeing wisp of crimson light naturally reverted to his true form—a corpse lay lifeless deep underground; his True God Core appeared intact, yet devoid of consciousness.

“So he actually forced me to use the ‘Lie Yuan Technique.’” Luo Feng’s divine body returned to normal size as he appeared beside the corpse.

The “Lie Yuan Technique” had too great a pedigree—unique to the Origin Continent. Though even observers would find it hard to recognize, Luo Feng still avoided using it lightly; he was still too weak. If some ancient being detected even a hint of its nature, his troubles would be immense.

Moreover, relying too much on will-based arts would hinder his cultivation path.

To reach higher life tiers, one relies on Law—that is the foundation!

“He just escaped from my mouth.” Mo Luo Sa appeared beside him, staring at Sang Shuiyun’s corpse, unable to suppress drool. “Master, I feel his allure is immense! Greater than the Yu Tianhu corpse’s!”

Mo Luo Sa did not yet know that Blood Cloud’s bloodline had just evolved—this corpse held far greater significance for him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll give you the corpse.” Luo Feng reached out, piercing the corpse’s chest, extracting the True God Core. “But first, I must claim the bounty using the body.”

A body intact with a whole True God Core would raise suspicions at the Yan Feng Guild.

So he removed the True God Core—to prevent complications. After all, the various factions of Hu Yang City were already familiar with him taking True God Cores.

“Huff.”

He stored the corpse, then with Mo Luo Sa, traversed the void back to the surface.

“Boom—boom—boom~~~~”

Luo Feng used his Chaos Domain to obliterate the colossal footprint, looked up at the night sky—where stars glittered brilliantly.

“Blood Cloud is dead. Somewhere in the stars, a star has dimmed. But… no one can tell.” Luo Feng said.

“Every moment, countless stars flicker, countless dim—unless it’s one of the brightest, who cares about ordinary stars fading?” Mo Luo Sa shrugged. “We’re still too weak.”

His failed strike this time made Mo Luo Sa acutely aware of his own weakness.

Luo Feng gazed at the Karma Tracking Talisman in his palm—finally not wasting Xie’s efforts—and tucked it away.

“Let’s go. Back to Hu Yang City.” Luo Feng immediately summoned a flying vessel with Mo Luo Sa, traversing the void straight toward Hu Yang City.
