“Na family?” Siyong’s aura of slaughter was terrifying, his voice low and deep. “Killing them will be of no use. Besides… keep Na Ke’s father as bait!”
“Master, what do you mean?” The violet-robed woman’s eyes lit up.
“Do not kill Na Ke’s father. Kill everyone else.” Siyong said indifferently. “Keep Na Ke’s father under our surveillance… perhaps in the future, either ‘Na Ke’ or that murderer ‘Feng’ will appear.”
“Yes!” The violet-robed woman respectfully accepted the order and retreated.
Siyong’s gaze swept the area. Within a radius of several kilometers, everything was in ruins, filled with screams and cries of pain, yet his expression remained unchanged.
This time, he had indeed lost face terribly.
Two of his disciples had died, along with an envoy, all on his territory.
“Hmph!” Siyong’s face darkened further. “Feng? You are so powerful, you can’t stay unknown forever. Once you appear anywhere on the Blood-Net Continent, as long as I know, you will learn… the consequence of killing my disciples!”
…
In the void outside the Blood-Net Continent, the spaceship of the Machine Race sped toward the Ancient God Ruins.
During these two and a half months of travel, Luo Feng either listened to immortal lectures in the Primordial Zone, immersed himself in studying the Nine Heavens Chaos Stele, Piao Xue, and Notes on Space-Time, or returned to the Black Dragon Mountain Island to visit his wife, son, and brothers. His days were fulfilling and peaceful.
“Master, we have now reached the target area!”
The voice of the spaceship’s AI sounded in the training chamber.
“Haha, finally arrived!” Luo Feng, seated cross-legged and still as a statue, suddenly opened his eyes and laughed. He transformed into a blurred shadow and rushed out directly.
“The Ancient God Ruins!”
“I’ve been looking forward to this day! Without entering the Ancient God Ruins, when can I fuse the second Blood-Net Crystal?” Dressed in a silver-white battle armor and boots, Luo Feng flew out directly from the cabin. Changing into the silver-white armor and boots was a precaution… after the battle at Yan Gang City, black-armored warriors might be recognized by those who paid attention.
Of course, the Ancient God Ruins were extremely far from Yan Gang City, and the Ruins were a “ruin land,” so there was no need to worry too much.
Swoosh!
Luo Feng flew directly from the void into the cloud layer, entering the Blood-Net Continent once again.
…
The Tian Chi Palace.
A massive palace floating in the void, specially set up to monitor the Blood-Net Continent. In a side hall of the first floor of Tian Chi Palace, a large screen was showing Luo Feng flying into the Blood-Net Continent.
“Haha… this Prince Luo Feng is also heading to the Ancient God Ruins.”
“He certainly dares to do it!”
More than ten Monarchs who were responsible for monitoring the movements of the entire Blood-Net Continent were chatting and laughing.
“Everyone, focus! If our Prince Luo Feng encounters enemies and escapes through the clouds in his spaceship, anyone from the natives who dares to chase must be eliminated immediately!”
“Understood.”
“We know that. But the Ancient God Ruins are the most important and dangerous place on the Blood-Net Continent. It’s said that many immortals of our Virtual Universe Company died there in the past. And that place is very strange… Luo Feng going there is very dangerous. The dangerous-level mission he chose didn’t force him to go to the Ancient God Ruins.”
“The path is one’s own choice! Our Virtual Universe Company will not force anyone to do anything, but even if one is a genius, since he chose to go to the Ancient God Ruins… we’ll just watch! Great rewards come with great risks. Although it’s dangerous, if he achieves something in the Ancient God Ruins, his achievements will be significant!”
“Right!”
“The Ancient God Ruins are indeed mysterious, and the Blood-Net Crystals are also mysterious.”
The group of Monarchs continued their conversation, while the entire void outside the clouds of the Blood-Net World was under their surveillance.
…
Clouds drifting like a fairyland.
Dressed in silver armor and stepping in silver boots, flying through the clouds downward…
“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s expression changed. “The fifteenth layer of clouds should be below, why is it red clouds!”
Below, the endless clouds were all blood-red, as if an infinite blood sea was surging, the terrifying invisible aura making one’s heart tremble. Without hesitation, Luo Feng continued to dive down, and when he entered the blood-red clouds, he immediately felt a special energy affecting him.
Agitation!
His heart was agitated, as if filled with a desire to kill.
“Actually provoking a killing desire, but compared to the innate bloodthirsty nature of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, it’s still far behind!” Luo Feng’s heart was extremely firm, completely unmoved, continuing to dive down layer after layer of blood-red clouds. Finally, he broke through the last layer of clouds.
Looking down!
Infinite mountains, wilderness, swamps, and various environments, but these geographical features were very strange. The mountains seemed as if a layer had been sliced off, or some parts had been cut through. On those wild plains, one could see a series of regularly spaced super craters, each estimated to be hundreds of kilometers in diameter.
One big crater after another.
As if… the footprints of some super beast.
Most importantly, all the areas below were covered with a faint red mist. Because of this red mist, anything too far away could not be seen clearly.
“The Ancient God Ruins, judging by this chaotic environment, it truly is a ruin.” Luo Feng quickly dove downward.
…
The Ancient God Ruins, with a diameter of hundreds of billions of kilometers, was an incredibly vast place. Dropping Earth into the Ancient God Ruins would be like dropping a drop of water into the Yangtze or Yellow River!
On the barren ground, one could faintly see some white bones.
Pah!
Luo Feng descended from the sky, his silver boots stepping on a broken sword, his brows furrowed deeply.
“Is this the aura of slaughter?” Luo Feng felt an invisible force continuously tempting his heart, while another strange energy was drilling into his body through his skin. This strange energy… could not be stopped by either energy or mental power. They would penetrate the body, then exit again.
Treating the human body as if it were air, freely passing through.
And in this process, the human body would undergo some changes.
“The aura of slaughter? No, in the universe, the so-called aura of slaughter is purely on a spiritual level. A person’s ferocity and bloodthirsty nature, making their gaze full of slaughter intent, etc. But… this ‘aura of slaughter’ is not only spiritual temptation, but also affects the body.” Luo Feng was certain.
His body was slowly undergoing some changes he couldn’t understand.
This was what the natives of the Blood-Net Continent believed… being affected by the aura of slaughter would make one more capable of fusing with the Blood-Net Crystal.
“At least, I can confirm!”
“This change is beneficial. Otherwise, in the ‘dangerous-level task’ given by the Virtual Universe Company, they wouldn’t set ‘becoming a Blood Warrior’ as the second task and offer a high reward of 100,000 points. The company clearly… hopes us to become Blood Warriors.” Luo Feng was convinced that this change was beneficial.
Swish!
Luo Feng took a step, and he was already dozens of kilometers away. In this vast Ancient God Ruins, Luo Feng began walking at an astonishing speed, feeling the changes brought by the ‘Ancient God Ruins’.
“Here the aura of slaughter is stronger, here it’s weaker.”
“The stronger the aura of slaughter, the stronger the spiritual temptation, and the faster the physical enhancement seems to be.” Luo Feng had already noticed that the aura of slaughter seemed to enhance a certain trait of human cells. “The weaker the aura of slaughter, the weaker the temptation, and the slower the physical change.”
“I need to save time!”
“So I must find a place with a dense aura of slaughter.” Luo Feng quickly rose into the air, flying high to look around.
Identifying the strength of the aura of slaughter was easy; just look at whether the red mist in a certain area was thick or thin.
Most areas had only a thin mist, while some areas had slightly denser red mist. After searching for about half an hour, Luo Feng was looking in an ancient, massive mountain range.
“There!” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. In the distance of the mountains, a forest had an alarmingly dense red aura.
Swoosh!
Luo Feng carefully flew over, watching for anyone else around.
According to the books, there were many powerful beings entering the Ancient God Ruins, yet he hadn’t seen a single one. Probably, everyone had the same idea, heading to the areas with the densest aura of slaughter, where progress would be greater in the same amount of time.
“No one?” Luo Feng darted into that dense area.
“Wow! This feeling… so amazing!” Luo Feng felt as if countless droplets were nourishing every cell in his body. The dense aura of slaughter passed through his body, and his body underwent a noticeable change. Because it was so obvious, the feeling was particularly clear. It was as if the deepest cells in his body, even the most fundamental genetic changes in his constitution, were transforming.
Like a metamorphosis from a cocoon into a butterfly.
“Kill!!!” Infinite killing intent surged into Luo Feng’s soul, and because of his body’s gradual transformation, a large amount of killing intent began to hide deep within his body. Over time, these would merge into Luo Feng’s soul as one. Those with weak willpower might even go insane. Even those with strong willpower would become bloodthirsty.
“Amazing killing intent!” Luo Feng stood beside a thick, towering tree, silently standing.
The endless killing intent continued to fill his consciousness.
It was even stronger than when he fused with the first Blood-Net Crystal, clearly showing that even dense areas of slaughter aura were not something everyone could endure.
“My elder brothers said that the more intense the desires in a place, the better the opportunity to temper one’s heart. Under the temptation of this killing desire… it’s even more of a test for my mind.” Luo Feng sat cross-legged beneath the tree.
Swish!
A ghostly shadow flashed in the dense aura of slaughter in the distance, then appeared before Luo Feng, a blinding sword light directly stabbing toward Luo Feng’s head.
Swoosh! Instantly, over a hundred Luo Feng illusions appeared around.
Boom!
The thick, towering tree behind Luo Feng instantly exploded into countless fragments, scattering in all directions. In an instant, the surrounding ancient trees either collapsed or had thick branches broken off, creating a thunderous cacophony.
“Daring to ambush me, you’re asking for death!” Luo Feng’s eyes flared with anger, he roared, a blood shadow saber appearing in his hand as he directly attacked the suddenly appearing ghostly shadow.
