Chapter 1227: Annihilation

The Shenyan Clan, the Ziyue Holy Land, and the Dongdi Holy Land, three factions altogether, had eight Cosmic Sovereigns attack simultaneously. Their divine powers burned as they transformed into roaring bizarre beasts, into colossal axes cleaving through everything, or into countless threads entangling the air. Numerous attacks enveloped Luo Feng alone.

“These damn bastards!” Luo Feng gritted his teeth in rage and immediately vibrated his divine body.

Hua!

The Mad God-Destroying Armor on his body suddenly expanded and rapidly condensed into a beast god—a giant one-horned lizard! Just like Yin Tuo’s Jinsun Armor or Wuhun’s Mad God-Destroying Armor, these armors could instantly condense into a beast god form, while the original body would hide inside the beast god. Typically, protective armors capable of expanding outward to form beast gods were worth even more than ordinary peak palace-type treasures.

“Roar~~~” The one-horned lizard roared, letting the eight attacks strike its body, yet it remained unscathed.

“Shenyan Clan, Ziyue Holy Land, Dongdi Holy Land, you actually dare to stoop this low!” the one-horned lizard roared furiously.

“Stoop? What a joke! With the end near, this precious Dondonghe inheritance is our only chance at survival. For this inheritance… nothing we do can be considered too low.” A strong figure from the Shenyan Clan sneered.

“Luofeng, you humans also want this inheritance? Your weak race only has one peak Cosmic Sovereign.” A three-headed, eight-armed elder from the Ziyue Holy Land sneered, “How ridiculous!”

The one-horned lizard glanced coldly at him.

Weak?

They probably don’t know the strength of the Axe Creator.

“Do you think having an armor treasure allows you to ignore us?” a cold-hearted Shenyan Clan warrior sneered. “Everyone, attack! Eliminate this biggest threat.”

“Alright.”

“Even if we can’t kill him, we must prevent him from focusing on studying the Xihuang Formation.”

Instantly, the eight Cosmic Sovereigns resumed their attacks. The first time, they had stood far away, using divine power techniques, which weren’t very powerful. But this time… most of them were fifth-stage, at least fourth-stage top Cosmic Sovereigns, each launching soul attacks or close-range assaults.

“Roar~~~” The one-horned lizard roared, “A bunch of bastards! You don’t even dare to face me fairly.”

“What do you mean by fair?”

“Weak humans, the weak have no right to talk about fairness.”

“Ha ha, how ridiculous.”

Amidst the mocking laughter, they continued attacking the one-horned lizard without restraint.

Boom~~~

The one-horned lizard rolled and crashed into the side wall, even hitting one of the stone pillars topped with three-dimensional illusions, causing the pillar to shake violently. However, these stone pillars were indestructible… which emboldened the eight Cosmic Sovereigns even more. Surrounded and attacked, Luo Feng had no chance to fight back.

“The Mad God-Destroying Armor expands outward into a beast god, with extremely strong defense! Comparable to peak palace-type treasures… but its combat power remains at the fourth-stage level.”

“Of the eight of them, six are obviously stronger than me, only two are on par with me.”

“The worst part is that they don’t fight me one-on-one but gang up on me.” Luo Feng was furious, maintaining the stability of the one-horned lizard through burning divine power. Although he struggled and dodged, he was still being overwhelmed. In such a battle, constantly maintaining the stability of the one-horned lizard also distracted him.

His comprehension efficiency dropped immediately.

“Damn it!”

“Is Donghe just watching all this happen?” Luo Feng was both angry and confused about Donghe’s intentions. Donghe had spoken those words earlier… which made me the target of everyone! It’s publicly known that I have a short cultivation time in the Cosmic Sea. This inheritance is the first batch to enter, and during the Cube Device test, Donghe had already taken special notice of me. Now I’m the first to successfully solve the 124th level of the Xihuang Formation.

With so many factors…

How could the Shenyan Clan, Ziyue Holy Land, and Dongdi Holy Land let Luo Feng obtain the inheritance? Naturally, they would strike hard!

“Roar~~” The one-horned lizard roared furiously, its four hooves trampling, directly crossing illusions, galloping toward the other end of the corridor where a group of immortal deities were.

“Bad.”

“Everyone, dodge.” The immortal deities were terrified, could the battle between Cosmic Sovereigns involve them?

In fact, since the beginning of the attack until now, no one had perished yet, because no one knew Donghe’s rules… Since it was a candidate selection, from Donghe’s perspective, he probably wouldn’t want to see carnage among the candidates. Therefore, the eight Cosmic Sovereigns attacking Luo Feng wisely controlled their energy, ensuring that the battle waves never affected those immortal deities.

But now, Luo Feng was rushing into the crowd of immortal deities…

Once the battle began, even if they tried to control it, even a slight ripple could be enough to kill an immortal.

“Bang!” A dazzling hammer strike seemed to fill the entire sky, smashing onto the back of the one-horned lizard, forcing its four hooves to bend slightly. An invisible wave directly spread out, affecting the fleeing immortal deities. Despite their escape, two unlucky ones were caught in the wave, like powder blown by the wind…

Whoosh!

They directly dispersed, already annihilated.

“Dead!” The one-horned lizard looked back.

“There’s an immortal dead.” The eight Cosmic Sovereigns attacking Luo Feng were also stunned, momentarily halting their assault to assess the situation. Figures like Lord Ying’ai, Lord Wuliang, and Lord Luchong also turned their gaze, brimming with anticipation. Since the arrival of the large group of powerful beings, these three had never joined in the attack against Luo Feng.

Because, they were the most valued candidates from the Shenyan Clan and Ziyue Holy Land, the most hopeful to inherit the legacy. The two major forces naturally did not want them to take risks.

For a short time, everything was quiet.

The one-horned lizard and the eight attacking Cosmic Sovereigns were all watching, observing whether the death of the two immortals would provoke any reaction from Donghe.

“Chi chi chi!!!”

Suddenly, the stone pillars topped with three-dimensional illusions, the 123 pillars on the left and the 123 on the right, simultaneously emitted black and white threads. A total of 246 rays instantly condensed in midair, forming a snake-like, sentient beam of light that directly swept toward the Dongdi Cosmos Sovereign who had just struck Luo Feng with a hammer.

The speed of the beam was already far beyond a hundred times the speed of light, surpassing the limits allowed by the operating laws.

“Swish!”

All the strong ones felt a sharp wave.

“Ahh~~” A reluctant roar, the tall Cosmic Sovereign holding the divine hammer directly annihilated and dispersed, leaving only some treasures on the ground.

Hundreds of threads wrapped around the hammer, armor, and other treasures, directly shooting toward one of the nearest stone pillars with a three-dimensional illusion. The hammer, armor, and other treasures directly disappeared into the stone pillar.

The entire corridor fell silent.

For a long time… a very long time…

“Has Huawu Lord died?”

“Huawu Lord…”

“Dongdi Holy Land’s Huawu Lord…”

All the powerhouses were utterly stunned, and even Luo Feng felt a chill in his heart. It was terrifying… He had initially assumed that even if Donghe intended to mete out punishment, he would dispatch subordinates akin to the monstrous Kuiluo. Yet, these pillars lining the corridor actually concealed secret techniques—techniques that could still be activated despite their master having perished countless reincarnation cycles ago.

One strike, annihilating Huawu Lord!

Huawu Lord, a special life form existing in the Dongdi Holy Land’s cosmos, was originally skilled in trapping enemies and other techniques. Being a mist-like entity, even after condensing into a humanoid form, killing him was still extremely difficult. Because of his cultivation in secret techniques for countless samsara eras, this mist-like entity could actually unleash the strongest and most powerful attacks.

In terms of strength, he could definitely rival the Chaos City Lord! In terms of survival ability, he was even stronger than the Chaos City Lord.

Such an existence, who had lived for an incredibly long time…

A being capable of dominating the Cosmic Sea, an existence that even a Cosmic Sovereign would find extremely difficult to kill, was annihilated in a single strike?

“Too terrifying.”

“This is too terrifying.”

“Huawu Lord is just gone.”

Some weaker immortal deities’ eyes were filled with fear.

Luo Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief; Donghe was indeed powerful… but this thunderous move should also be able to intimidate this group. However, Donghe was also too ruthless, instantly annihilating and then swiftly taking away the treasures.

“Earlier, when we surrounded and attacked this human from the Milky Way, Master Donghe did not intervene. It was only because the immortal deities were affected that Huawu Lord perished.” The cold man from the Shenyan Clan said indifferently, “So as long as we don’t affect the surrounding powerhouses, it will be fine.”

“Right, even after fighting for so long, there was no intervention, and no punishment for us!”

“Attack.”

“Our three factions now have a significant advantage; we absolutely cannot let Luo Feng obtain the inheritance in the end. We must first contain him. As for our three factions… let’s see who has the capability.”

“I propose that all immortal deities and Cosmic Lords temporarily enter palace-type treasures.” The cold man directly stated, “Since the rules are now known, they can familiarize themselves with the game methods, allowing them to first comprehend within the palace-type treasures to avoid us affecting them.”

“Alright.”

“Agreed.”

The Shenyan Clan, the Ziyue Holy Land, and the Dongdi Holy Land—these three factions acted without hesitation, as their Cosmic Sovereigns promptly mobilized, temporarily housing their subordinate Cosmic Lords and immortal deities within palace-type treasures.

The one-horned lizard, incarnated as Luo Feng, stood there, gazing at the seven figures.

“Huawu Lord is already dead! Do you also want to die?” The one-horned lizard growled lowly.

“Huawu Lord merely lost his main body; he still has a clone!” A man from the Dongdi Holy Land’s cosmos, with vines and green leaves swirling around his divine body, sneered, “We who surround you all have the ability to create clones. As long as we can destroy you and prevent you from inheriting… what does it matter if we lose our main bodies?”

“Right, as long as this human dies, even if we perish, it’s worth it.”

“I came here not even hoping to obtain the inheritance; as long as I can remove the obstacles for my race to obtain it… dying is worth it.”

Each of the seven Cosmic Sovereigns was prepared to perish, willing to do so… especially since the killing in the corridor was only the destruction of their main bodies, and as long as they had clones, they could still survive.

“Weak human, don’t dream anymore… you will never obtain this inheritance.” The seven figures simultaneously attacked the one-horned lizard, having long prepared… willing to forgo comprehending the Xihuang Formation forever, they would stall and destroy this human at all costs!
