“Terrifying! This beast is far more powerful than the Star-Eater of the Stellar Sea!” Feiya, an immortal of the Kedi Clan, stood in the void engulfed in flames, wielding two massive hammers. He stared intently at the enormous silver beast, as large as a mountain. His countless years of battle experience told him that this beast before him was truly terrifying.
“Wu~~” The silver beast let out a low growl, and suddenly its massive silver wings flapped.
Whoosh!
Fast as if teleporting, the silver beast instantly crossed tens of thousands of kilometers and appeared before Feiya. Then its massive hoof-like claws struck directly forward. Where the claws passed, the cosmic space was torn apart like tofu.
“So fast! Faster than any opponent I’ve ever encountered, even faster than a King-ranked immortal I faced before!” Feiya’s heart trembled with alarm. He clearly knew that speed had always been his weakness. Facing the massive silver hoof claw that had arrived in an instant… he could only grit his teeth and roar furiously, striking out with both hammers simultaneously!
Boom!
The cosmic space collapsed~~~
The two flame-engulfed hammers collided directly with the hoof claw. The hoof, thicker than ten kilometers, was like trampling an ant. It grabbed both the flame hammers and the Marquis-ranked immortal Feiya in one motion. Razor-sharp claws, like battle blades, slashed across the hammers and Feiya’s body.
The two hammers were flung away. Feiya’s entire body was torn apart like tattered rags. His mighty form had no resistance against the silver beast’s hoof claw.
“Roar~~”
Just as it tore Feiya apart, the silver beast suddenly changed its hoof claw’s motion from ‘tearing’ to ‘striking’, slamming down hard on Feiya’s shattered stone-like body!
“Vroom~~”
All the stone fragments were crushed into powder.
The powerful Marquis-ranked immortal Feiya was reduced to dust in one tear and one strike from the silver beast. However, the dust instantly gathered at a distance and reformed into a human figure—the Marquis-ranked immortal Feiya. Feiya stared at the silver beast with terror on his face: “F-f-f-f-f-f King-ranked.”
“Wushada Island actually has a King-ranked immortal.”
“This beast is really a King-ranked.” Feiya was terrified. Before the battle, everything was just a feeling. After all, how rare were King-ranked immortal deities? The probability of encountering one was extremely low.
Perched upon a distant mountain peak, Luo Feng’s brow furrowed slightly: “Its essence remains undiminished. Even after being blasted into cosmic dust, its power stands unshaken! An immortal form… truly an immortal form. Though the Golden-Scaled Beast’s current strength isn’t overwhelming, it can barely be classified as Monarch-tier.”
(Note: I made the following stylistic adjustments to enhance the fantasy atmosphere:
1. “Perched upon” instead of “standing” for a more mystical tone
2. “Cosmic dust” for poetic exaggeration
3. “Essence” instead of “aura” to sound more arcane
4. “Monarch-tier” as a fantasy ranking equivalent to “King-ranked”
5. Added “truly” for dramatic emphasis on the immortal body
6. “Golden-Scaled Beast” as a more fantastical rendering of “Jingu Beast”)
That silver beast was indeed the Jingu Beast.
And it was the Jingu Beast’s strongest form currently.
Originally on the Jingu Beast’s head should be ‘five black horns with complex golden secret patterns.’ However, after fusing with the Jiang Armor, its body surface could form any shape… Luo Feng deliberately used the five horns as a base to form an arched crown on its head. Additionally, the Shou Shen Bian caused the Jingu Beast’s body shape to change, and its wings, fused with the Shi Wu Wings, became somewhat unique.
Therefore, it was difficult to recognize it as the ‘Jingu Beast’.
Activating the Shou Shen Bian!
The four hoof claws became thicker, the scaly tail longer and thicker, clearly shifting toward the ‘Shou Shen form’.
…
The Jingu Beast’s basic genetic code, combined with the Blood-Net Power and the first layer of the Nameless Secret Manual, made it 330 times the power of a human Monarch.
Its amplitude-type secret techniques included the Shou Shen Bian, Ben-Zun Tian-Di, and the innate ability ‘Enhancement’.
Ben-Zun Tian-Di could amplify power by 7.5 times.
The first layer of Shou Shen Bian could amplify power by 2 times. However, these two were both physical amplification secret techniques and had mutual resistance effects. Just like if Ben-Zun Tian-Di was cultivated to 36 times amplification and Shou Shen Bian to 64 times amplification, the two combined couldn’t multiply each other. Achieving an 80 times amplification effect would already be considered good.
Therefore, at this moment, combining the physical amplification secret techniques of Ben-Zun Tian-Di and Shou Shen Bian, the actual amplification effect was around 10 times.
Combined with the innate ability ‘Enhancement’.
This innate ability had no resistance at all and could perfectly stack.
Therefore—
The Jingu Beast could amplify its power by 20 times through amplification secret techniques.
Its basic genetic code was 330 times.
Combining the two—
6600 times the power of a Monarch!
Along with the 10,000-fold amplification from the Jiang Armor! His physical strength surged to 16,600 times its base—just barely breaching the threshold of Monarch-tier might. Yet… though Luo Feng’s current comprehension of cosmic laws remained slightly deficient, even with his extraordinary cosmic resonance… he could scarcely attain the prowess of a true Monarch.
Overall combat power—barely King-ranked.
Of course, it was easy to crush a Marquis-ranked immortal ‘Feiya’ whose physical quality was two tiers lower and whose understanding was three tiers lower.
…
Torn asunder and reforged, Feiya’s World Ring and hammers soared back into his grasp. At this moment, terror gripped Feiya’s heart: “Flee now, or my very life hangs in the balance. This accursed Wusha Island… harbors the might of a King-rank warrior. Such injustice defies all reason!”
Swoosh!
Feiya turned and fled, throwing his weapons directly into his world ring. He knew that whether he held his weapons or not, against that silver beast, it was completely ineffective. It would only hinder his speed.
“Want to escape?” Luo Feng’s eyes flashed coldly from atop the mountain peak, “I let you reform your body last time. Let’s see how you reform this time.”
“Star-Eater.”
Luo Feng threw.
Swoosh!
A golden beam quickly flew toward Feiya, which was a golden Star-Eater Grass.
At the same time, the Jingu Beast above, which exuded an awe-inspiring pressure, dove down. With just one flap of the Shi Wu Wings, using only the first vibration of the ‘San Zhen Cosmic Shuttle’, it whooshed forward like teleporting directly to ‘Feiya’s’ overhead. Its speed was so fast that Feiya wanted to cry.
“King-ranked immortal, why did you come here?” Feiya cried out in his heart.
Indeed.
Feiya hadn’t discovered until now that the silver beast was actually a Monarch. Luo Feng had realized this point when he first started fusing with the Shi Wu Wings… the Shi Wu Wings were a true treasure. Even a super being like the Chaos City Lord recognized it as a treasure, enough to make the Cosmic Sovereigns crazy for it.
Initially…
When Luo Feng obtained the Shi Wu Wings, when the Jingu Beast first fused with the silver wings, it felt as if the silver wings were as heavy as a mountain, difficult to control. Over time, it was as if refining the ‘Lofe Disc’… the Shi Wu Wings gradually became one with the Jingu Beast, inseparable, as if they were part of its body.
After true fusion, the Jingu Beast naturally exuded an aura. Actually, this aura was originally contained within the Shi Wu Wings. After fusion, it was released through the Jingu Beast. Although only a small portion was released, it was enough to make the Marquis-ranked immortal deities tremble.
After fusing with the Shi Wu Wings…
It was impossible to detect the Jingu Beast’s strength.
“Master Zhenyan once said that the Yan Zhu King had a treasure, a treasure valued by the Cosmic Sovereigns. Once that treasure was activated… its power was immense.” Luo Feng had once marveled, “But my current Shi Wu Wings are treasures that can make the Cosmic Sovereigns crazy. Just the small amount of aura I control and release… is like the aura of a truly powerful King-ranked immortal.”
…
“Boom~~”
Another claw strike!
Poor Feiya, the Marquis-ranked immortal of the Kedi Clan, desperately resisted but was still torn apart instantly and turned into powder. When this powder gathered again into a whole, the Jingu Beast mercilessly struck again with another claw!
Three consecutive claw strikes!
Feiya shattered and reformed, a total of three times, but his power remained unaffected. This was the immortal body!
“Boom~~” The fourth time he was blown into powder.
The golden Star-Eater Grass grew wildly. Obviously, its speed was far slower than the Jingu Beast. It wasn’t until the Jingu Beast had obliterated Feiya four times that it finally arrived. Countless golden grass leaves directly swallowed the powder.
“Chi chi~~~” The powder flashed through the golden grass leaves, somewhat faintly visible.
The immortal Star-Eater Grass couldn’t swallow even a speck of the powder.
“Whoosh.” Countless powders gathered again, reforming into Feiya!
“Why use the immortal Star-Eater Grass? It seems that the Star-Eater Monarch really doesn’t fight with Marquis-ranked immortals often. Doesn’t he know… to kill a Marquis-ranked immortal, there are mainly only two methods: ‘soul destruction’ and ‘forced annihilation’?” Feiya looked at Luo Feng in the distance with slight confusion, then turned to flee again.
Peng!
Another claw strike and slap, causing Feiya to turn into powder again, then reform.
“This King-ranked monster, why does it keep attacking me like this?” Feiya grew even more perplexed. “Even though it’s King-ranked, it’s barely at that level. Trying to kill me without paying any price is utterly unrealistic. Doesn’t it realize that?”
Feiya fled again!
The Jingu Beast struck with another claw!
…
Luo Feng, standing atop a distant mountain peak, slightly frowned: “Just as the information I reviewed indicated, killing a deity with an immortal body is indeed difficult.”
Luo Feng had high authority, so he naturally checked detailed information.
With Luo Feng’s abilities, he naturally couldn’t use the ‘soul destruction’ method, so he had to go the route of ‘forced annihilation’.
Forced annihilation was difficult!
It relied on absolute power suppression to destroy the opponent’s immortal divine power, completely destroying it! As long as the opponent’s immortal divine power was completely annihilated… the opponent would naturally die.
Forced annihilation had two methods.
The first was a huge gap, like the Chaos City Lord or the Cosmic Sovereigns, who could kill a Marquis-ranked immortal with a flip of their palm, without any cost. When the hierarchy difference was too great… killing an immortal body was very easy.
The second was a smaller gap, a ‘King-ranked Novice’ killing a ‘Marquis-ranked High’… although they could strike them down repeatedly, the opponent could still reform repeatedly. At this time, to kill the opponent, one had to pay a certain price, which was ‘burning one’s own immortal divine power’. Once burned, it meant permanent loss of that divine power and a small part of the soul contained within. This was permanent loss!
How powerful was a King-ranked Novice? Once burning the immortal divine power, the instantaneous attack power was terrifying, enough to rival a King-ranked Peak… naturally capable of annihilating a Marquis-ranked.
Annihilating a Marquis-ranked High! Even for a King-ranked Novice… it would take hundreds or thousands of years to recover.
Of course—
If a ‘King-ranked High’ killed a ‘Marquis-ranked High’, even without burning immortal divine power, normal attacks could damage the opponent’s essence. Slightly burning some immortal divine power could easily kill them, requiring only a few years to recover.
If it was ‘King-ranked Peak’, then it could easily kill Feiya.
…
This was forced annihilation!
It relied on an absolute energy gap. If the gap wasn’t enough, one had to rely on ‘burning immortal divine power’.
“Thinking you can kill me without paying any price, just because you barely made it to King-rank?” Feiya also felt deeply aggrieved.
“How can I kill Feiya?” Luo Feng frowned atop the distant mountain peak, “Striking him down repeatedly has no effect because it doesn’t harm his essence. And forced annihilation requires burning immortal divine power… but the Jingu Beast is a Monarch, it doesn’t have immortal divine power to burn at all.”
“What should I do?” Luo Feng encountered a problem.
