Chapter 861: King Daohe

Over two hundred foreign monarchs were utterly terrified. They could only watch helplessly as Luo Feng departed, yet none of them felt any shame. Their long lifespans had exposed them to countless life-and-death trials, and they had long since established their own codes of conduct. Perhaps they would instinctively attempt to seize treasures from a weak individual who had obtained the Sacrificial Tower’s legacy, believing that such a weakling was unworthy of possessing it.

But was that human weak?

The Heavy Arrow King entered a deep slumber, the Blood Beast King fled into hiding, the Purple Bell King perished, and thirteen monarchs fell beneath his blade. Who among the more than 200 alien monarchs present could match such feats?

“So powerful!”

“Incredible.”

“Just moments ago, thirteen monarchs were completely annihilated. Truly terrifying.”

“Cursed Purple Bell King! Before dying, he deliberately lured us here with ill intentions. He clearly knew that even the Heavy Arrow King and the Blood Beast King couldn’t defeat that human, yet he still lured us here. He truly deserved to die!”

“Damn that Purple Bell King.”

Groups of alien monarchs hovered in midair, conversing with one another. Luo Feng’s performance had completely overwhelmed them, earning their profound respect. Without a doubt, he was a true powerhouse. It was only natural for such an extraordinary expert to possess the sacred tower treasure.

If even such a formidable figure was unworthy of possessing the Jita treasure, then who among the more than two hundred alien monarchs could possibly be?

“This human, Yang, may seem humble on the surface, but his terrifying power is absolutely no weaker than a peak monarch. From now on, among the immortal elites of the Seventh Battlefield who are difficult to provoke, another formidable expert must be added—the human ‘Yang’!”

“Friends, does this human have no title?”

“We only know him as ‘Yang.’ Indeed, we’ve never heard of him having a title.”

“Never heard of it.”

“Same here.”

“This human’s blade techniques are absolutely breathtaking. With one slash, blade light condenses into a river, lingering in the air for a long time. One blade river means one monarch perishes; thirteen brilliant blade rivers hanging in the sky mean thirteen monarchs fall. I suggest we call him the Blade River King.”

“Blade River King?”

“A great name. As soon as I hear it, I recall the scene from just now.”

As these alien monarchs, who had participated in this battle merely as observers, continued their discussions, they bestowed this title upon the human warrior they admired and respected. Perhaps some monarchs received their titles when they were granted noble ranks by their own major factions, but others earned their titles through astonishing feats or remarkable achievements that were collectively recognized by other powerful experts.

Undoubtedly, such titles, recognized and spread by fellow experts, carried greater credibility.

Thus, the turmoil surrounding the Pagoda Treasure came to an end, and this upheaval solidified the reputation of the human expert—the Blade River King! He had slain the Purple Bell King and thirteen other immortal monarchs, forced the peak monarch ‘Heavy Arrow King’ into a deep slumber, and driven the Blood Beast King into retreat. Such glorious achievements naturally spread the name of the Blade River King even faster.

The Mechanical Race had virtual worlds, and the more than 200 immortal monarchs chatted with their friends about the Blade River King, describing his might.

One told ten, ten told a hundred thousand, a hundred thousand told millions.

The news soon reached the insect race, human race, and beast race factions, shocking all of them, and naturally, the astonishing news spread like wildfire.

“What? Fourteen monarchs perished?”

“The Heavy Arrow King actually entered a deep slumber? He was a peak monarch! How could things turn out so disastrously?”

“The human Blade River King?”

“The Blade River King is too powerful.”

“Can he really be that strong?”

Meanwhile, the Blood Beast King, who had fled back to the nearest Mechanical Race military base, naturally overheard the conversations there. This military base was the closest to the Yanji Continent, so the rumors spread most intensely here. In the battle that established the Blade River King’s fame, he had naturally become the stepping stone.

“The Blood Beast King was scared into fleeing”—this phrase had already spread widely.

“Damn it,” the Blood Beast King gritted his teeth in fury. “That human relied solely on the ultimate Fire God Origin Crystal! Without that crystal, how could he ever be my match!”

“Damn, damn!” the Blood Beast King roared inwardly.

At the same time, he received calls and messages from several friends, asking what had happened, which made the Blood Beast King feel deeply embarrassed.

“My divine body has sustained severe damage, losing 42%. If I continue to remain on the battlefield, my enemies will surely take advantage of my weakened state to attack me. I should return to my clan and focus on recovery.” The Blood Beast King used the military base’s teleportation channel to reach the territory of the Mechanical Race.

In a hidden location within the Mechanical Race’s domain, he directly used divine realm teleportation to return to his own divine realm.

The vast divine realm stretched boundlessly.

“Buzz!”

The temple floating high above the entire divine realm suddenly emitted brilliant crimson light, enveloping the entire divine realm in endless blood radiance.

The countless one-eyed men and women living in the grasslands, plains, mountains, and islands of the divine realm all looked up at the endless blood light, then knelt to the ground in excitement, shouting in their native tongue with reverence and awe: “God! God! God!”

The cries surged like a tsunami, sweeping across the boundless divine realm.

At the heart of the divine realm, inside the temple.

The Blood Beast King sat majestically on his throne, listening to the heartfelt, soul-deep cries of his countless followers across the divine realm. A faint smile appeared on his face, and his previously gloomy mood improved somewhat.

“Whoosh!” A streak of light flew from the distance, followed by another and another, all rushing into the temple. In just a moment, nine immortal deities stood within the temple. These nine immortals were all soul-controlled, naturally completely loyal to the Blood Beast King. However, among the nine immortals, only two were of the same race as the Blood Beast King; the rest were all alien immortals.

Among the nine immortals, only one was a monarch; the rest were all dukes.

“Master.” The nine immortals respectfully bowed.

“From now on, I shall remain in the divine realm for a long time, and reemerge after a billion years. My territory will be managed by Bano to support my family.” The Blood Beast King’s voice echoed majestically within the temple, which was tens of kilometers tall.

“Yes, Master.” A creature with a snake-like head respectfully replied.

“Master, your injury…” One of the one-eyed men, who was among his subordinates, expressed concern.

“You all may leave now.”

The Blood Beast King said in a low voice.

“Yes.” The nine immortals respectfully bowed again and then departed, leaving only the Blood Beast King seated on the throne within the entire temple.

At this moment, the Blood Beast King had already calmed down, murmuring softly: “Blade River King…”

Though filled with anger and resentment, he acknowledged that the Blade River King was an extremely terrifying opponent. Being able to wield two ultimate Fire God Origin Crystals… even the Blood Beast King himself didn’t possess enough wealth to afford two such crystals. Moreover, surviving the explosion of two Origin Crystals was already an incredible feat.

Just these two points alone made the Blade River King terrifying beyond measure.

“You, previously unknown.”

“This battle marked your rise to fame… I became your stepping stone. But I know, a monarch capable of directly enduring the explosion of the ultimate Fire God Origin Crystal will certainly not be limited to this level of achievement.” The Blood Beast King murmured silently. “Unless I can break through to become a Cosmic Venerable, I will never be able to rival you.”

“A billion years later, I shall reemerge.”

Boom~~~

The temple doors shut with a deafening sound, and the Blood Beast King began his long cultivation journey…

In fact, for super experts like the Blood Beast King, many of them had extremely long lifespans. For someone like Zhenyan King, a billion years was merely a relatively short period in their long lives. Closing the temple doors for a billion years of cultivation was a very common occurrence for many ancient experts.

In the Chaos City of the Primeval Chaos Universe.

Zhenyan King had always been paying close attention to Luo Feng’s growth. When the human ‘Yang’ suddenly erupted in power, killing fourteen monarchs, forcing the Heavy Arrow King into slumber, and driving the Blood Beast King into retreat, thereby earning the title ‘Blade River King’ and spreading rapidly among countless races, Zhenyan King naturally learned about it quickly.

“Absolutely unbelievable.”

“Even if he used countless treasures, Luo Feng is still merely a Domain Lord. How could he become so powerful? He actually killed monarchs at the peak of their power and forced a peak monarch into a deep slumber?” Zhenyan King was somewhat stunned. Regardless of the reasons, Luo Feng was still a Domain Lord!

After all, many treasures had strict requirements for their users. Without sufficient strength, it was difficult to unleash their full power.

Take the ‘Jiangjia Armor’ as an example. It required a divine body with strength a hundred times that of a Domain Lord to fully activate. Only after becoming a ‘Black Warrior,’ advancing the ‘Unnamed Secret Codex’ to its second tribulation, and mastering the ‘Beast God Transformation’ did Luo Feng finally succeed in wielding the ‘Jiangjia Armor.’ This clearly demonstrates that even with formidable treasures, unleashing sufficient combat power is difficult without corresponding strength.

“Zhenyan!” A mighty voice directly echoed in Zhenyan King’s mind.

Zhenyan King was startled.

He immediately responded respectfully in his mind: “Chaos City Lord.”

“The news that Luo Feng is the Blade River King is top secret. It must not be allowed to spread.” That mighty voice reverberated in Zhenyan King’s mind.

“Yes.”

In the Chaos Ruins, where countless alien corpses lay scattered, the Chaos City Lord sat cross-legged in the silent ruins.

“Although Luo Feng relied on the Fire God Origin Crystal, the Feimo Poison, the Shi Wu Wings, and others, he is still merely a Domain Lord, and he used his Earthling body. How could he achieve such feats?” Although the Chaos City Lord also paid attention to Luo Feng, he stood at the pinnacle of the human race, burdened with many important matters concerning the entire race, so he could only occasionally check on Luo Feng.

He clearly understood—

The universe is fair. A Domain Lord, even if he possesses many treasures, how much combat power could he really unleash? To force a peak monarch into a deep slumber—how difficult was that?

“Could it be related to the Yan God Clan’s King Armor? Even if it is, the Yan God Clan’s secret methods for using the King Armor are extremely demanding, not to mention the strict requirements for the user’s divine body. Usually, only a monarch at the initial stage can fully utilize the King Armor. Could my disciple, Luo Feng’s Earthling body, really unleash the full power of the King Armor?” The Chaos City Lord murmured softly. “Looks like I need to find time to have a serious talk with him.”

“Blade River King…”

“A Domain Lord managing to earn a monarch’s title is indeed quite interesting.” The Chaos City Lord then closed his eyes, no longer thinking about Luo Feng. Right now, he was more concerned about his main body, which was currently in grave danger…
