Inside the core control chamber of the sacrificial tower, four native powerhouses, including Qiu Chika, were watching the unfolding events with tension.
“Die, die, let them annihilate each other until none remain,” murmured the Divine Lord Pu’ai, his eyes fixed on the virtual projection formed by the surveillance.
“Watch closely and observe the techniques these alien invaders possess,” Qiu Chika transmitted his voice solemnly. “Though we are all King-ranked, we have remained hidden and never truly engaged in life-or-death battles with other King-ranked powerhouses. These alien invaders, however, have constantly experienced carnage. We must study their battles, gain experience, and uncover their hidden strengths. To obtain the treasures in the heritage and treasure chambers, mere schemes and planning are not enough—we must rely on true strength.”
“Yes, elder.”
“Hmm.”
The other three clan members silently nodded.
They had long prepared for a life-or-death battle. This fight would determine whether their lineage would flourish in the future.
…
Inside the First Treasure Chamber.
Luo Feng had just collected the three treasure-sealed pattern boxes when Zihongwang and Bingren, radiating murderous intent, stormed in.
“This is part of the treasure the clan took when fleeing. It’s definitely worth far more than the total wealth of an average King-ranked immortal,” Zihongwang transmitted.
“Bingren, we must obtain these treasures, even if it means burning our immortal bodies.”
“I understand.”
Bingren’s small eyes gleamed like a snake’s.
The two of them—Bingren was tall while Zihongwang was short—but in terms of strength, Zihongwang was at the peak of King-ranked while Bingren was merely High King-ranked.
They exchanged silent signals, yet their speed did not waver as they charged straight into the treasure chamber.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng turned his gaze toward the two powerful warriors from the Qixiang clan charging forward.
“Hmph.”
Luo Feng flipped his hand and summoned the Blood Shadow Blade. The silver wings on his back flapped slightly.
“Mo Yun, help block them,” Luo Feng commanded.
Instantly, thin vines emerged from his shoulders. Though initially delicate, they rapidly extended and grew, sprouting numerous branches and leaves, surging forward like waves toward the charging Zihongwang and Bingren.
Although Mo Yun Vine was at the peak of Marquis-ranked, it was naturally resilient and regenerative. Its vines were as tough as the body of a Low King-ranked immortal. While it was significantly weaker than the Peak King-ranked Zihongwang and High King-ranked Bingren, it could still easily obstruct them.
“Blood Cloud!”
Whoosh!
Two blood-red flowers sprouted from Zihongwang’s waist, quickly expanding like canopies to block the vines. The vines twisted and tried to seep in from the edges of the flowers, but the edges were lined with sharp serrated teeth that began tearing into the Mo Yun Vine. In terms of offensive capability, Mo Yun Vine was clearly inferior and could only entangle its opponent.
The two clashed evenly.
“Supportive plant lifeforms are rare among ordinary immortals and possessed by only some Marquis-ranked. It’s common for Kings to have them, typically cultivated to the level of a peak Immortal Commander or Low Marquis-ranked. But I didn’t expect Zihongwang to possess the Blood Demon Flower at the peak of Marquis-ranked,” Luo Feng mused with a slight frown.
“You won’t escape,” Zihongwang sneered, his ugly face twisting with malice.
“Hmph.”
Luo Feng flapped his wings and transformed into a blurred streak, aiming to escape through the edge of the hundred-meter-wide chamber door. Being trapped inside the room was troublesome, but once outside, he could flee freely.
“Gahaha!” A shrill laughter rang out as a massive blade suddenly appeared, slashing toward Luo Feng.
“Break!”
A dazzling silver arc, like a river across the sky, cleaved through the massive blade, shattering the chamber’s space into fragments before quickly restoring itself. Although Luo Feng destroyed the attack, his speed was affected. At that moment, a voice transmission came from outside: “Yang, I’m here to help!”
“Tigerthorn King!” Luo Feng felt a surge of joy in his heart.
Trapped inside the chamber, escaping was indeed difficult, but with Tigerthorn King’s help, he could now engage the enemy directly while Luo Feng looked for a chance to escape.
“Ahhh!”
“Tigerthorn King!” The furious, piercing shout echoed through the chamber as the diminutive Zihongwang turned around, his face twisted with rage. Before him, three flame bells materialized out of thin air, each bell burning fiercely enough to shatter the surrounding space. The three flame bells then flew toward Tigerthorn King, who wielded two terrifying massive axes.
“Hahahaha!!!” Tigerthorn King roared with laughter.
“Heaven and Earth Split!!!”
Tigerthorn King guarded with his left axe while his right axe slashed downward. The strike was so powerful that it seemed to split the heavens and earth like a river, transforming the surrounding area into a chaotic vortex of space. As the axe blade headed toward the Blood Demon Flowers blocking the chamber door, Zihongwang gritted his teeth and redirected the three flame bells to intercept the axe.
“Boom!!!” The axe blade collided with the three flame bells.
The shockwave caused the countless runes engraved on the sacrificial tower to faintly glow, yet the tower itself remained unscathed, absorbing the impact effortlessly.
“Bingren, work with Blood Cloud to stop that human! I’ll handle Tigerthorn King!” Zihongwang roared through voice transmission. “Wait until Cangjinwang arrives, and we will win. We don’t need to defeat him—just block the chamber door and prevent him from coming out, and we will win!”
“Leave it to me!” Bingren growled.
…
Outside the chamber, Zihongwang and Tigerthorn King were locked in battle, while inside, Luo Feng and Bingren clashed fiercely. Luo Feng repeatedly pushed forward, overpowering Bingren, but Bingren fought recklessly, disregarding his own safety, solely focused on stopping Luo Feng. With the assistance of the Blood Demon Flowers, Luo Feng found it difficult to break free.
“Cangjinwang!” Zihongwang, struggling under pressure, saw a bolt of lightning approaching in the distance and felt immense relief.
That lightning bolt was Cangjinwang!
The lightning flashed!
Cangjinwang had arrived!
“Get out of my way!” roared Cangjinwang, his voice reverberating directly in Tigerthorn King’s mind. The invisible soul attack was like a tyrannical lightning spear, violently assaulting and obliterating the soul imprints within Tigerthorn King’s undying divine body. Although Cangjinwang excelled in physical strength amplification rather than soul amplification.
But he has achieved some minor accomplishments in the art of soul attacks.
“Uh—” The Soul of King Hucilie trembled, momentarily appearing somewhat sluggish.
“Bang!”
King Cangjin’s massive foot violently kicked King Huchi’s head, causing it to cave in instantly. At the same time, King Huchi was sent flying and slammed hard into the corridor wall not far away. The walls of the sacrificial tower trembled slightly, and the intricate carvings of secret patterns on them flickered faintly.
“Move aside,” King Cangjin transmitted via voice message.
“Understood.” Purple Bell King immediately relayed the command to Blood Demon Flower through soul communication, “Blood Cloud, let Cangjin King enter.”
Wow!
The densely packed Blood Demon Flowers, which had tightly blocked the hatch, swiftly parted to create a passage, allowing King Cangjin to charge straight in.
……
Inside the cabin.
The blooming Blood Demon Flowers and vast amounts of Cloud-Touching Vines nearly filled the entire cabin, transforming it into a world of blossoms and vines—a veritable botanical realm.
“Humans!” The Golden King charged in and immediately lunged towards Luo Feng.
“Die!!!”
In the hands of Cangjin Wang suddenly appeared a genuine lightning spear, ancient and unadorned, with flickering bolts of electricity dancing along its surface. With a furious roar, Cangjin Wang’s entire body began to shrink slightly in size, yet his form radiated an eerie cyan glow, as though he had transformed into a figure of bluish metal.
This scene made Luo Feng’s heart race: “A body amplitude enhancement technique!”
Performing amplitude-type secret techniques can cause changes in the body, and currently, Cangjin Wang is executing this move.
“Whoosh!”
The Golden Horn King roared and hurled his spear with all his might, pouring every ounce of his strength into the throw. In the confined space, the spear shot forth at nearly the speed of light… Luo Feng had no time to dodge. The moment the Golden Horn King activated his amplification-type secret technique, Luo Feng could only swiftly fold his wings, shielding himself tightly within the protective embrace of the Slaughter God Wings.
“Pfft!” The lightning spear struck Luo Feng’s wings directly.
Luo Feng was sent flying backward, forcefully ‘pinned’ to the wall of the cabin by the lightning spear. To be precise, the lightning spear only struck the Wings of Slaying Wu and failed to pierce through even slightly. Yet, that terrifying impact still pinned Luo Feng against the wall for a brief moment.
“What?” Cangjin Wang was utterly shocked. “His body wasn’t even shattered?”
He struck with all his might, fully aware that killing a pinnacle immortal king would be extremely difficult. Yet, in his eyes, this human ‘Yang’ was merely at the high-tier pinnacle king level. Even if he didn’t die from such a devastating blow, his body should have been completely shattered.
“Yang! I’ll hold off the Cangjin King!” King Yechen charged in like a phantom.
The Tiger Thorn King once again engaged in battle with the Violet Bell King.
“King Yechen!!!”
The Golden Horn King abruptly turned his head, his eyes flashing with lightning as he glared fiercely at the Nightfall King… Although Luo Feng had just blocked one of his attacks, the Golden Horn King still clearly understood that the greatest threat in the enemy ranks was the ‘Nightfall King,’ followed by the ‘Tiger Thorn King.’ Both the Nightfall King and the Tiger Thorn King were peak-level titled kings.
The least threatening one is ‘Yang’.
“Blade, hold onto the Tiger Thorn King at all costs,” ordered the Golden King without hesitation. “Purple Bell King, even if you have to burn your immortal body, secure that treasure for me. I’ll handle the Night Star King!”
“Fine.” Purple Bell King gritted his teeth and instantly charged into the cabin.
Meanwhile, Bing Ren also desperately tried to block the attack from Hu Ci Wang.
As for King Cangjin…
Yet with a single outstretched hand, the lightning spear landed directly in his grasp. The cold gaze of Cangjin Wang fell upon Yechen Wang. With his body amplification technique activated, faint eerie blue light shimmered across Cangjin Wang’s form, and the invisible pressure he radiated… made Yechen Wang’s heart tremble, leaving him no choice but to watch his opponent warily.
“Even if it means burning my immortal divine body, I must seize the treasure?” Purple Bell King gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with madness.
Luo Feng held the Blood Shadow Battle Blade… and also looked at the Purple Bell King.
Fighting until the eyes turn red in moments of madness, burning the immortal divine body is the last resort when all else fails.
“Judging by the situation, for the sake of the treasure, the battle might escalate to the point of burning immortal divine bodies,” Luo Feng thought silently. “But I… don’t possess an immortal divine body.”
“Hand over the treasure! Or else… perish!”
The Purple Bell King’s eyes were filled with madness.
Boom!
Three flaming bells instantly encircled him, resembling a miniature star radiating boundless light and heat, crashing directly toward Luo Feng.
