Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 55: Bounty

Luo Feng was initially quite interested in drinking and watching the battle from the side. Due to Master Zuo Shan Ke, there might be future conflicts between him and the rulers of Shiguo. However, Luo Feng did not harbor much hostility towards the other practitioners of Shiguo.

But when they began slaughtering weak True Gods wantonly, Luo Feng’s killing intent grew intense.

“In a conflict between two countries, each relies on their own skills! But slaughtering the weak… what a bunch of scum!” Luo Feng’s eyes turned icy as he began searching for ‘Yutian Yi’s bounty in the Dark Hall of the Yan Feng Pavilion.

The bounty tasks in Huyang City were all issued by the Huyang branch of the Yan Feng Pavilion! Bounty tasks from other large cities or even other countries would not be actively provided to all clients.

“Yutian Yi’s bounty is as high as 500,000 Universe Sand?” Luo Feng immediately found it and accepted the bounty in an instant.

Not everyone could have a bounty on their head, as the minimum bounty was ‘10,000 Universe Sand’! If the task was not completed, the bounty would need to be kept in the Yan Feng Pavilion. Thus, the vast majority of Eternal True Gods did not have bounty tasks.

To this day, Luo Feng did not have any bounty tasks.

“This Divine Lord Luo He, just relying on his domain techniques, managed to suppress a top-tier Eternal True God. His mechanical flow treasure is quite special?” Yutian Yi speculated.

There were combination mechanical flow treasures that could refine divine power to rival chaotic divine power. When chaotic techniques were then displayed, they could possess such might.

“Before his death, the Blood Python President sent a message saying that Divine Lord Luo He’s mechanical flow treasure was worth at least 5 million Universe Sand. Perhaps it’s true,” Yutian Yi thought, feeling a bit tempted by the idea.

Yutian Yi glanced below. At this moment, she only had one subordinate still alive, the Eternal True God who wielded thunder.

This Eternal True God, wielding thunder, possessed the mechanical flow treasure “Thunder Core.” After long years of cultivation, he had also excavated the potential of the ‘Thunder Core’ to a very high level.

In terms of strength, he was not inferior to the Blood Python President.

But at this moment, with the formation suppression of Huyang City and the chaotic domain suppression of the Slaughtering Wu Wings, he was directly knocked to the ground, bound and squeezed by chaotic air currents, unable to move.

“Divine Lord Yutian, save me, save me,” the Eternal True God pleaded for help through telepathy.

Whoosh!

Strands of snow-white silk wrapped around the Eternal True God in the void, quickly dragging him away to escape.

“You leave first, I’ll handle this Divine Lord Luo He,” Yutian Yi, with her icy body, stood in midair, transmitting her voice from afar.

“Be careful, Divine Lord Yutian,” the Eternal True God who was being carried away sighed in relief.

“Escape?”

Standing before the hall’s gate, Luo Feng moved. With just one step, aided by the ‘Causal Transmission Order’ obtained from Ying Cang, he traversed the void and appeared near the snow-white silk-wrapped Eternal True God.

“No—” The Eternal True God could not believe it as he saw Luo Feng suddenly appear beside him.

“Hmph!”

Luo Feng extended his hand, and his five fingers, as sharp as five blades, directly pierced through the snow-white silk and into the Eternal True God’s chest, grabbing his True God’s heart.

Pop!

The True God’s heart was shattered!

Luo Feng collected the corpse and the remaining items, the snow-white silk naturally dissipating into nothingness.

Then Luo Feng looked up at the distant Yutian Yi.

Yutian Yi did not care about her subordinate’s death. She stared at Luo Feng and said, “Traversing the void? The City Lord’s Mansion trusts you so much to grant you the power to traverse the void?”

Even if the City Lord’s Mansion hired strong individuals, they generally maintained vigilance to prevent the hired hands from turning against them at the critical moment.

“Yutian Yi, are you ready to die?” Luo Feng asked.

“I’ve been cultivating all this time and haven’t met an Eternal True God who can kill me!” Yutian Yi sneered. In an instant, countless icy blades erupted around her, forcefully pushing back the giant Jinyu, the Three Sword Sky Splitting Beast, and the Blade Wing Devourer.

“I heard your blade techniques have reached the chaotic realm level? Coincidentally, I know a few blade techniques as well,” Luo Feng said.

“You know blade techniques too?” Yutian Yi dodged, easily shaking off the giant Jinyu, the Three Sword Sky Splitting Beast, and the Blade Wing Devourer.

This made General Jinxiao and Gao Wushui feel somewhat weary. Even with the legion’s mechanical flow treasures, they were still inferior in all aspects compared to such a powerful Eternal True God.

Three against one, even with the aid of Huyang City’s formation, they were still suppressed! Now, shaking them off was a breeze.

“Die!”

Yutian Yi lunged forward. Before her, nine icy blades condensed, seeming to slice through the heavens and earth, carrying an unparalleled might as they surrounded and attacked Luo Feng.

“Hmm?”

Luo Feng felt that the surrounding space was completely sealed. Before these nine blades, he had no place to hide!

“In terms of stealth and assassination, Ying Cang has the advantage. In a direct fight, Yutian Yi is even better.” Since he could not dodge, Luo Feng did not evade. Instead, he used the chaotic domain’s sensing to judge the opponent’s might.

When the nine icy blades were right in front of him, Luo Feng suddenly charged forward, a fierce light in his eyes: “Ten Directions Boundless!”

Facing the encircling nine icy blades, Luo Feng used his divine body as a blade, unleashing the only purely defensive blade technique from the “Nine Blades of Breaking the Realm” – ‘Ten Directions Boundless Blade’!

“Buzz, buzz, buzz~~” Luo Feng’s entire divine body resembled a blade, terrifying energy flowing on the surface to form a heavy blade shadow.

The blade shadows layered, making Luo Feng’s figure appear blurry!

“Hmph.”

Yutian Yi was very confident in her strength. The nine icy blades aimed to slice through everything, slashing at Luo Feng! As the nine icy blades cut through the layers of blade shadows, their power significantly diminished. When they finally slashed at Luo Feng’s divine body, the skin of his Perfect Divine Body, tempered three times, only showed some marks that disappeared in an instant.

“Using the body to perform the Ten Directions Boundless Blade, blocking her blade techniques, it still broke some skin,” Luo Feng thought.

After over twenty eras of cultivation, Luo Feng was much stronger than when he fought Ying Cang. Thus, he did not use “Annihilation” to burn divine power, merely using the normal three-times-tempered Perfect Divine Body.

This scene made Yutian Yi, who had been attacking, suddenly stop, somewhat startled: “What kind of protective technique is this? With layers of blade shadows for protection, my proudest ultimate move couldn’t even injure him?”

“The Ten Directions Boundless Blade is still not strong enough,” Luo Feng thought. The “Nine Blades of Breaking the Realm” had six eternal-level techniques, each more complex than the last. Besides the relatively simple Life and Death Blade, Return to the Void Blade, and Reincarnation Blade, the later ‘Three Phases Shadow Blade,’ ‘Five Directions Sky Splitting Blade,’ and ‘Ten Directions Boundless Blade’ all integrated multiple concepts, deepening Luo Feng’s understanding of chaotic laws.

But ultimately, they still fell short compared to true chaotic realm blade techniques.

“Luo He, it seems you possess a set of mechanical flow secret treasures, excelling in domain, protection, and escape,” Yutian Yi sneered. “Using treasures doesn’t count as real skill. I won’t play with you today.”

Whoosh!

Yutian Yi soared into the sky!

“Trying to leave?” Luo Feng instantly traversed the void, suddenly appearing right in front of Yutian Yi’s flight path.

“I knew you would traverse the void!” Yutian Yi had already set a trap. With a single thought, countless snow-white threads that had merged into the void emerged, forming a trap net that enveloped Luo Feng. While trapping Luo Feng, Yutian Yi swiftly flew away into the distant night sky.

A blade suddenly appeared in Luo Feng’s hand. The boundless power from his three body tempering sessions fully integrated into this God King-level blade embryo.

A flash of blade light!

A blade light appeared, seemingly tearing the heavens and the earth, ripping apart the snow-white net and aiming to tear apart the escaping Yutian Yi! Yutian Yi agilely dodged, narrowly avoiding most of it, but his arm was brushed by the blade light and was instantly annihilated.

The power of this strike shocked Yutian Yi. “How is he so strong? He feels even more ferocious than my second brother!”

Luo Feng lunged forward along with the blade light, his terrifying speed from the three body tempering sessions, combined with the spatial control granted by the All-Realms Escape Order, left Yutian Yi no chance to evade at close range.

“Not good!” Yutian Yi felt an unstoppable terrifying presence crashing towards him!

Boom!!!

Her ice body shattered, completely obliterated. Luo Feng stopped only after passing through her body, frowning slightly as he looked around.

“She condensed an ice body to attack. Her true self isn’t even here,” Luo Feng carefully sensed his surroundings. “Moreover, she is not within my chaos domain.”

Her true body was hidden far away; only a body condensed from ice power had come to fight. Killing her was extremely difficult.

This was merely an Eternal True God’s tactic.

Those ancient Chaos Overlords spent much effort on life-saving secret techniques and even reincarnation methods.

Even a Divine King couldn’t claim to completely kill a Chaos Overlord. On the surface, they might seem dead, but they could revive somewhere or reincarnate.

Like Master Zuo Shan Ke, who chose to reincarnate. After reincarnation, all causality was severed. If he didn’t reveal himself, no one could recognize him. This left the rulers of Shiguo with a formidable hidden enemy!

Invading and annexing other Divine Kingdoms came with many consequences. Shiguo chose this path and had to prepare to deal with these ‘consequences.’

“This time, Shiguo sent five Eternal True Gods, and only three were killed,” Luo Feng landed. “It’s really not easy to kill them completely.”

“Divine Lord Luo He.”

“The invading Shiguo forces have been utterly crushed,” the giant Jin Xiao, the Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast, and the Blade-Wing Devourer flew over, all very excited. Luo He Divine Lord truly lived up to his name, completely overwhelming the enemy with a single move.

Luo Feng wasn’t particularly excited. Despite having taken on Yutian Yi’s bounty, he still couldn’t defeat her.

“What strong battle fluctuations,” Luo Feng sensed the distant terrifying fluctuations from Huyang City. “Especially the ones in the southwest. There should be two exceptionally strong beings fighting. If I don’t burn divine power, I might be a bit inferior to them.”

The terrifying clash in the southwest involved combatants far beyond the level of Yutian Yi and Ying Cang.

“Magili Xiao, I sense intense fighting in the southwest of Huyang City. Do you need my help?” Luo Feng transmitted. “I’ve already crushed the Shiguo forces here.”
