Chapter 87: The Ambush (Part 2)

“Die!”

Inside the Heart Demon Kite, led by Elder Eye and assisted by the Twelve Eternal True Gods, it commanded over ten thousand Void True Gods. This was no ordinary super-large mechanical treasure—it was one of the gate-preserving treasures crafted by the God-King who founded the Heart Shadow Sect, based on the God-King-level legacy, “Six Extremes of Destruction,” with an extremely high threshold for control.

Today, within the entire Heart Shadow Sect, apart from the publicly known Elder Eye, only the hidden Qiu Yi could control the gate-preserving treasure.

The gate-preserving treasure completely unites the power of all its users—even their minds and wills become one.

“Yuuu~~~” With a piercing screech, Elder Eye united all his subordinates’ wills and launched an attack.

Elder Eye was confident.

His own will had already reached the level of ordinary Chaos Realm, and now, wielding the gate-preserving treasure Heart Demon Kite, his mind and will fused, unleashing an attack that qualified as “Chaos Apex Will.”

Elder Eye never expected his will technique to kill Luo Feng.

In truth, aside from “Lie Yuan Art,” normal will clashes rarely result in death—unless the gap in will is absurdly vast; at most, the will is injured and combat effectiveness diminished.

One glance, and the enemy dies?

That was extremely rare even on the Origin Continent—only possible when the disparity was absurdly immense.

Just as Luo Feng’s God-King-level will, when directed at Heart Shadow Sect disciples, would kill nine out of ten with a single glance. Only Elder Eye, Qiu Yi, the Sect Master, and fewer than ten others could survive.

“Boom.”

Luo Feng felt his will being attacked and was slightly surprised. He hadn’t intended to unleash such strong willpower—after all, if Elder Eye died with just a glance, that scene would be too terrifying.

It would immediately draw the attention of the God-Kings of Yu Kingdom and Shi Kingdom.

He was already very close to the Chaos Realm; if he endured a little longer, he would reach it.

Once in the Chaos Realm, wielding God-King-level will would seem normal—after all, some Chaos Dominators could do it. And then his survival capability would greatly increase, his ability to handle risks vastly improved.

“I always planned to keep my strength just slightly above the strongest Eternal True God of Yu Kingdom. Who knew you’d attack me yourself?” Luo Feng had no choice.

Boom!

This ferocious will attack caused every living being inside the Heart Demon Kite—Elder Eye, the other Eternal True Gods, the ten thousand Void True Gods—to feel as if their consciousness was being torn apart, each writhing in unbearable agony.

“Bad!” The Heart Demon Kite, which had charged forward, suddenly recoiled violently.

Fortunately, this was merely “backlash”—they still retained a sliver of clarity.

“This Luo He possesses Chaos Apex Will! His will technique is extraordinary!” Elder Eye immediately sent a message: “Six Shadow Killing Array, retreat immediately! Luo He’s will is too terrifying!”

“What?” The six super-large mechanical treasures forming the Six Shadow Killing Array were stunned.

They had just set up the formation to trap Luo He Shenjun—why retreat now?

“Since you’ve sensed the strength of my will, I’ll reveal a little.” Luo Feng also restrained himself in every way—whether he unleashed his divine body or his will, either could sweep away the Heart Shadow Sect and draw the attention of ancient God-Kings.

On the positive side, some powerful being might take him under their wing.

On the negative side, he could be killed or enslaved and controlled.

Luo Feng did not wish to entrust his fate to the conscience of some God-King.

His Master, Mountain Guest, had warned him to remain hidden and humble—the waters of the Origin Continent ran too deep.

“Shhh.”

Luo Feng swung the God-King-level blade blank, “Blood Shadow Blade.” A dazzling slash cut through space like a master butcher dissecting an ox, severing all things, and striking the retreating Heart Demon Kite.

Puff~~~

As the blade struck the Heart Demon Kite, Luo Feng immediately felt its resilience—it was as tough as a Chaos Realm treasure weapon; his blade could not pierce it.

But energy seeped through, and a blade-like will sliced deep into the Heart Demon Kite’s interior. All the living beings within, their wills fused as one, bore the full force of this mental will-blade.

This technique was Luo Feng’s first Chaos Realm sword art: “Refining the Heart.”

Five eons had passed since then, and “Refining the Heart” had evolved through multiple versions.

Now, this single slash of “Refining the Heart” fused six Chaos Realm techniques into one, naturally incorporating the will art Luo Feng had comprehended from the “Map of Catastrophic Beasts.”

Five eons ago, Luo Feng already possessed God-King-level will. At that time, he had only partially comprehended the “Thousand Void Catastrophic Beasts Map.” As he gradually unraveled its secrets, his understanding accumulated—especially after viewing the complete Map—his will slowly strengthened, and from the Map, he deduced a set of will arts.

This set of will arts currently contained only three techniques.

The first was integrated into the “Refining the Heart” slash—destined to destroy the enemy’s divine body and sever their soul.

“Ah!” The Heart Demon Kite was flung backward; its operators felt as if their wills had been slashed again, wracked with unbearable pain.

Fortunately, Luo Feng had used only a thread of will, greatly restraining its power—so they felt only pain.

“Shhh~~~~”

This slash, having cleaved through Chaos and passed over the Heart Demon Kite, also swept across the Six Shadow Killing Array.

The Six Shadow Killing Array was formed by six super-large mechanical treasures working in unison—but these ordinary mechanical treasures could not achieve “will fusion.” The controllers’ wills directed them.

“Aaaahhh~~~”

Luo Feng used only a thread of will, its power greatly restrained, and it was his own created will art.

Under this “Refining the Heart” slash, five of the six super-large mechanical treasures’ commanders immediately had their wills shattered and collapsed into unconsciousness; only one, writhing in agony, barely held onto consciousness and fled in panic.

Just one dazzling slash!

The Heart Demon Kite recoiled; the Six Shadow Killing Array collapsed. One super-large mechanical treasure fled; the other five were cleaved apart by the blade-light.

When the commander fell unconscious, the super-large mechanical treasure’s defense plummeted—it became easy to shatter.

“Bad! Flee!”

The five shattered super-large mechanical treasures had the advantage of not having fused wills! When the commander’s consciousness was struck and rendered unconscious, the ordinary members remained alert—they scattered in terror.

“Huh.”

Luo Feng waved his hand and collected the five fallen, shattered super-large mechanical treasures.

…

“How is this possible?”

!.

The Heart Shadow Sect Master and the Eighteen Elders gathered, watching the battlefield in shock and fury.

“He possesses Chaos Apex Will. Under his will technique, the Six Shadow Killing Array cannot withstand it.” Elder Eye’s face was grave. “Even the gate-preserving treasure Heart Demon Kite, with fused wills, cannot match him.”

“He possesses such a powerful will?”

“An Eternal True God with Chaos Apex Will—who could have trained him?”

They never considered Luo Feng might possess God-King-level will.

On the Origin Continent, many Eternal True Gods surpassed a major realm boundary to possess Chaos Realm will—Xue Yun Shenjun, Mo Li Xiao, Zhu Hu, all had wills at the Chaos Realm threshold.

Elder Eye and Qiu Yi, cultivating God-King-level legacies, possessed ordinary Chaos Realm will.

In the two ancient kingdoms, some elite Eternal True Gods trained by major factions reached Chaos Apex Will.

But to leap two realms—an Eternal True God with God-King-level will? Even on the Origin Continent, this was exceedingly rare.

“The Great Annihilation Array is a formation diagram personally forged by a God-King. Three hundred and sixty Eternal True Gods, synchronized with the diagram, unify their power and will—that is our true killing technique.” The Sect Master and the Eighteen Elders remained confident.

The Great Annihilation Array was the strongest technique the Heart Shadow Sect could currently deploy.

Under such an ultimate formation…

No Eternal True God could resist!

“Too strong.”

“The Heart Demon Kite’s screech is a will attack. It charged, then suddenly recoiled—it must have suffered will damage.”

“Look—the Six Shadow Killing Array: five super-large mechanical treasures were cleaved apart by Luo He’s blade without resistance. Clearly, their commanders lost the ability to fight back.”

At the City Lord’s Mansion, the five family leaders watched, hearts pounding with excitement.

Mo Li Xiao described the key point: “In normal combat, the Heart Demon Kite and Six Shadow Killing Array could have tied up Luo He Shenjun. But in will combat, Luo He Shenjun clearly dominates—the Heart Demon Kite can only unleash three or four tenths of its power. The Six Shadow Killing Array has lost all resistance…”

“With such overwhelming will advantage, Luo He Shenjun’s will must have reached Chaos Apex level.”

“This news must be reported to the Marquis immediately.”

“An Eternal True God with Chaos Apex Will? Even the elite of the two ancient kingdoms don’t surpass this.”

They felt their chances of victory growing ever greater.

…

“Luo He’s slash cuts the body and the will.” In the Flame Wind Hall, Di Chu Yu watched the battle from afar—he had already broken into the Chaos Realm and, from close range, saw more clearly: “But his advantage isn’t overwhelming. The Heart Demon Kite escaping is normal—it is one of the Heart Shadow Sect’s gate-preserving treasures. Yet even one of the Six Shadow Killing Array escaped.”

Di Chu Yu asked himself: if he had acted at the Eternal True God stage, not one of the Six Shadow Killing Array would have escaped.

“I suspect Lord Yu Jiang and Lord Liu Yin have sent divine power incarnations near Hu Yang City—they must have witnessed this battle.” The deputy hall master smiled. “Lord Liu Yin is probably panicking now.”

As soon as Luo Feng collected the five super-large mechanical treasures, the Heart Demon Kite and the other one immediately fled far away.

“Huh.” A stout figure pierced through space, arriving nearby—it was Mo Luo Sa.

“Master, I’ve completed your orders.” Mo Luo Sa beamed. “I even killed a few Heart Shadow Sect Eternal True Gods—they were cruel, slaughtering indiscriminately. I know you dislike that.”

“Good.” Luo Feng praised him.

Hearing the praise, Mo Luo Sa beamed with delight.

Luo Feng suddenly looked toward the distant sky—a vast formation, vast enough to cover half the heavens, had descended upon them. Its invisible pressure made Luo Feng’s heart tremble.

“Such a powerful killing array.” Luo Feng said.
