Chapter 774: Swift Resolution

Faced with the golden leaves surging from all directions like a storm, Ziqianwanshe ‘Mengweina’ lashed its body frantically. Each violent whip of its tail carried the pressure of cosmic space, repeatedly repelling the golden leaves, some of which shattered under the force.

“I can’t escape. I can’t escape!” Mengweina was frantic, its single eye flashing with madness. “No other hope remains. I must call for help. Nearby allies and comrades can come quickly. I must hold on until they arrive. Hold on!”

“Help! Help! I’ve encountered a Human Boundary Lord wielding the Immortal Hundred-Vine Star-Eating Grass!”

While struggling against the Immortal Star-Eating Grass, Mengweina continuously sent out distress calls.

Just like humans, when members of the Monster Race called for help, the signal would swiftly propagate through their communication network, reaching all allies and comrades within a radius of ten billion kilometers. Ten billion kilometers is an unfathomable distance—light travels at 300,000 kilometers per second, meaning even at light speed, it would take more than half a day to cross. Luo Feng’s Boundary Lord squad had only ventured slightly beyond two days’ flight from their base.

A spherical region with a radius equivalent to half a day’s travel at light speed.

How many allies and comrades existed within such a vast area?

“Encountered a Human Boundary Lord wielding the Celestial Hundred-Vine Star-Devouring Herb!” The news swiftly spread among the elite forces of the Demonkin and their myriad allied races.

“Immortal Hundred-Vine Star-Eating Grass? Going there means suicide.”

“Suicide—who would go?”

“Poor fellow.”

“Poor soul.”

“Who’d be so unlucky?”

“Gugu, someone who possesses the Immortal Hundred-Vine Star-Eating Grass but is still only a Human Boundary Lord—this Boundary Lord must be quite something. Killing him would probably bring special rewards. Too bad one must survive to enjoy it. Gugu, no way I’m going to die pointlessly.”

Among the demon clans and their subordinate races, many powerful beings received the message and merely sighed.

In the Star-Shattering Belt, few dared to provoke the Immortal Hundred-Vine Star-Eating Grass.

Yet within that range, seven teams still rushed toward the location simultaneously.

“He must be some human prodigy,” said a man with a wolf’s head sitting in a spacecraft, smiling. “Possessing the Immortal Hundred-Vine Star-Eating Grass, he might have quite the background. But even if he does… he’s still an outsider! Haha, the more powerful the alien race that cultivated this prodigy, the more satisfying it is to kill him. The rewards will be even greater.”

The wolf-headed man sat at the highest seat.

Beneath him knelt eight spectral puppets of the demonfolk, and below them, a multitude of demonic marionettes gathered in reverent silence. Clearly, the nearly hundred infernal puppets at the base represented none other than the dreaded Boundary Lords of the demonic horde.

The leader of this team was quite famous within the Star-Shattering Belt, known as ‘Jianlang Hou’ (Silkworm Wolf Marquis), an immortal god of the Marquis rank.

Although the Star-Shattering Belt teemed with formidable demonic beings, Marquis-rank immortal deities were exceedingly rare. Evidently, Jianlang Hou was a cautious and death-fearing individual, unwilling to venture into more perilous territories, and thus remained within the Star-Shattering Belt. Here, his faction undoubtedly reigned as an overwhelming force.

In space, within a Star-Eating Grass plant as large as a star, the ten-kilometer-long Ziqianwanshe struggled like a tiny worm.

“Hmm?”

Luo Feng observed Ziqianwanshe ‘Mengweina’ struggling for five seconds from afar and frowned. “Trouble. I have the Immortal Hundred-Vine Star-Eating Grass, which is comparable to the peak strength of an Immortal General. Slightly stronger than that Ziqianwanshe, with the advantage of being tough and persistent. I can bind it, but I can’t kill it quickly. It will take a long time to wear it down.”

“No good.”

“This Ziqianwanshe must have called for help.”

“If too much time passes, nearby demon elites will arrive. Though the chance of encountering demon elites immune to the Immortal Hundred-Vine Star-Eating Grass nearby is low, I can’t take the risk.” Luo Feng made a decision instantly. “Relying on the Yimo weapon alone, it would be hard to kill an Immortal General at peak strength.”

“I must rely on the armor.” Luo Feng’s mind stirred.

The black battle armor on his body instantly reshaped and extended, forming a helmet and perfectly fitting black boots. The armor was streamlined, its mysterious power surging through Luo Feng’s body. It granted him a thousand times the strength of a normal Boundary Lord at peak power, rivaling the immortal body of a newly anointed Marquis-level immortal god.

“Clang!” A silver blade appeared in Luo Feng’s right hand, its edge tinged with red—it was the Blood Shadow Battle Blade.

In his left, a six-edged silver shield materialized.

“Kill!” Luo Feng’s eyes turned icy.

Whoosh!

He shot forward like a streak of light, directly toward the distant Ziqianwanshe.

“Madman.”

“Is this madman a martial warrior?”

“That… that’s…” Still reeling from the shock of the Immortal Star-Eating Grass, teammates like Taiwo, Chui, and Duyao stared in astonishment as Luo Feng charged forward in full warrior gear, wielding a blade and shield.

“A Boundary Lord capable of using the Yimo weapon to such an extent—is he really a martial warrior?” Duyao’s eyes widened.

“He is a martial warrior,” Taiwo’s transmitted voice was low and heavy. “And a very powerful one. He’s even stronger as a warrior than in his use of the Yimo weapon. That madman’s burst speed was incredible—faster than my own instantaneous acceleration.”

“What?”

The other members were even more stunned.

Surrounded by countless golden leaves, Luo Feng shot forward while issuing orders: “Star-Eater, use your leaves to surround and block the area. I’m going to fight this Ziqianwanshe, and I don’t want the team leader and others to witness it.”

“Yes, Master.” The Immortal Star-Eater responded with its consciousness. The golden leaves swirled, blocking Taiwo and the others’ view. At the same time, Luo Feng used his sensors to shield the area, not wanting the battle to be seen by Taiwo and the others, to avoid further complications.

Whoosh!

Luo Feng became a black blur, instantly reaching the Ziqianwanshe.

“Human.” Ziqianwanshe Mengweina felt sudden joy. “If you didn’t have the Star-Eating Grass, how could you be my match? You’ve come right to me!” Immediately, a terrifying chill spread outward, with water flowing around it, sometimes freezing, sometimes surging.

The icy water spread for ten thousand kilometers, and Luo Feng dashed into it instantly.

“Hmph!” Luo Feng’s eyes narrowed coldly. “Law Domain? A joke!”

Boom!

Luo Feng’s Inner World Projection descended instantly. In a ten-thousand-kilometer range, space twisted and transformed into an endless grassland. Even the Ziqianwanshe’s Law Domain collapsed under the pressure of Luo Feng’s World Projection.

“How can this be?” Mengweina’s lone eye widened in disbelief, letting out a shrill shriek in the ancient tongue of the demonkin.

The World Projection crushing a Law Domain?

How immense must one’s Inner World be to achieve such a shocking ‘World Projection’?

Some Golden Horned Beasts who chose to evolve through cosmic crystals, reaching the Boundary Lord peak, might possess Inner Worlds spanning 30,000 kilometers in diameter. Such a vast Inner World could manifest a World Projection powerful enough to rival a Law Domain. Yet Luo Feng’s Inner World now exceeded a staggering diameter of 900 million kilometers!

In terms of volume, it was 27 times larger!

The power of the World Projection had surged dramatically. When Luo Feng’s Inner World was 60 million kilometers in diameter, he could merely suppress a Law Domain. Now, it crushed it into collapse.

“Quick resolution.” Luo Feng moved like lightning, instantly descending.

“Roar~~~” Mengweina’s six sinewy flesh wings flapped violently. It lunged forward, its mouth opening wide into a blood-red maw several kilometers in diameter. The suction force, imbued with cosmic laws, twisted the surrounding starry sky.

With that mighty suction!

Boom!

The surrounding space collapsed entirely. Countless fragments of space were swallowed into Mengweina’s gaping maw. Luo Feng, clad in black armor, felt the terrifying pulling force.

“Die.” Mengweina’s single eye burned with madness.

“A joke.” Luo Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Boom!

His speed surged again, becoming a black beam of light directly charging into the gaping maw. At the same time, he instantly swung the Blood Shadow Battle Blade. At the moment the blade moved… the surrounding cosmic space seemed to be sliced open by a giant, silently splitting into a massive rift.

The blade flashed, cutting across ten thousand kilometers, splitting space in two.

A beautiful blade flash, dazzling and heart-stopping.

Silence reigned—

Mengweina still wore the grotesque expression of its gaping maw, but its eye was now filled with terror and unwillingness. Then, from the middle of its head, it split cleanly in two. The entire Ziqianwanshe was bisected, its internal organs spilling out.

Cut in two with a single strike!

Shadow Phantom Seven Sword Technique—Ephemeral Bloom!

“Clang!” Luo Feng casually flicked the Blood Shadow Blade, glancing at the bisected Mengweina. “You should be proud to have withstood Ephemeral Bloom.”

At that moment, countless golden leaves surged forward, instantly wrapping around the two halves of the body. Though the Ziqianwanshe was not yet dead after being split, once entangled by the golden leaves of the Star-Eater, with countless serrated edges cutting and biting, there was no chance of survival.

In the blink of an eye, the Ziqianwanshe was devoured entirely by the frenzied leaves.

“With this armor, I have the strength of a barely Marquis-level immortal god,” Luo Feng mused inwardly. “And my comprehension of cosmic laws has already reached the Marquis level.”

“Though I didn’t use the ‘Beast God Intent’ to unleash the strongest move of the Seven Sword Techniques—Burial—I still executed Ephemeral Bloom, a Marquis-level attack.”

“My World Projection completely suppressed him.”

“Cutting him in two was only natural.”

The once-blossoming Star-Eater rapidly shrank, instantly becoming a small plant that merged directly into Luo Feng’s arm.

Meanwhile, Taiwo, Duyao, and the other team members were still in shock.

“Whoosh.” Luo Feng flew over, the Blood Shadow Blade resting on his back.

Seeing Luo Feng dressed as a martial warrior, Taiwo, Duyao, Mei Nu, and the others were still stunned, unable to help exclaiming, “Madman, you…”

“Hold your questions for now. That demon immortal must have summoned reinforcements. We need to get out of here immediately,” Luo Feng declared.

“Right, let’s go.” Taiwo quickly regained his composure.

Despite their shock and countless questions, the other team members could only suppress their curiosity for now. One by one, they quickly boarded the C9-class spaceship, which transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the void.
