Assassination

Three days later...

Luo Cheng's eyes were slightly closed, and the Qi within his body circulated as he cultivated the Primordial Fiendgod Technique.

Luo Cheng tirelessly cultivated for the past few days. Occasionally, there were birds that flew by or the crawling sound of bugs, but he simply paid them no mind. He was entirely focused on the mysterious Primordial Fiendgod Technique. He summoned forth the Lunar energy and the Solar Energy in his body, as the Divine Tattoos appeared on his back.

Over the course of the previous days meditation, he had gained just a hint of insight into the true nature of the Primordial Fiendgod Technique, but that hint of insight was enough to allow him to understand, without question, what the method was for breaking through to the peak First Heaven of the Primordial Fiendgod Technique.

Breaking through to the peak of First Heaven of the Primordial Fiendgod Technique would require him to completely form his Divine Tattoos.

Luo Cheng breathed in a specific pattern seemingly in accordance with a strange rhythm, and his body carried within it a strange, ancient aura.

He could feel his consciousness passing through multiple layers of the worlds obstructions, constantly going forward... after passing through countless layers, he entered a familiar infinite, endless void.

Deep within that infinite void were two incomparably enormous stellar bodies illuminating the endless void.

This two stellar bodies, one was the Solar Star (the Sun), the other was the Lunar Star (the Moon).

Those two miniature floating Solar Star and Lunar Star were separately transmitting energy nonstop into Luo chengs body. The power of the Sun and Moon were quickly absorbed by his dantian and ravenous cells in his body, and Luo Chengs entire musculature and bone structure were once again undergoing constant transformations.

Specks of Solar and Lunar Starlights slowly encircle him, creating a vague image of a cocoon and within the cocoon, his body continued undergoing transformations.

Slowly, on the left side of Luo Cheng's back, a miniature Lunar Star formed and on it a fiendish looking Osmanthus Tree made up of ice could clearly be seen.

And on the right side of his back, there formed a fiery hot miniature Solar Star and on it a flying Golden Crow covered in infernal flames could also be clearly seen.

The Fiendish Osmanthus Tree in ice and the Golden Crow in Infernal Flames on both sides of his back, this was the complete formation of the Divine Tattoos.

Immediately the Divine Tattoos formed, Luo Cheng had a vague feeling that the Divine Tattoos where now connected to his bloodline, like they were one and the same. It was a feeling he couldn't quite explain.

Upon completion of the Divine Tattoos, Luo Cheng's cultivation made continuous breakthroughs as he advanced from the 5th Star of the True Qi Realm to the 1st Star of the Houtian Realm.

Luo Cheng kept his eyes shut for a few more days, as he consolidated his cultivation, so as to have a firm and solid foundation.

He suddenly opened them wide, and a mix of red and blue gleam flashed in both of his eyes. Luo Cheng got up to stretch his stiff body and took a deep breath. His entire body felt very comfortable.

Five days, five whole days. With the assistance of the Qi Nurturing Pill, the Primordial Fiendgod Technique had finally reached the peak of First Heaven. It almost seemed as though success was a guaranteed outcome for him, as there was nothing blocking his way to progress, a way incomparably smooth and unhindered.

'With the Qi Nurturing Pill's miraculous effect and the dense Qi of the surrounding area, it wasn't strange for me to be able to breakthrough to the peak First Heaven of the Primordial Fiendgod Technique this swiftly.' Luo Cheng thought as he stretched his body.

Right at this moment, Luo Cheng seemed to have noticed something, and his pupils suddenly constricted. Right when he was about to act, a dagger that flickered with a ghastly cold glow had struck his neck.

At the same time, a pitch black figure that seemed like a shadow had actually suddenly appeared right in front of Luo Cheng!

Clang!

The dagger struck Luo Cheng's neck, but his head didn't leave his body. Conversely, the dagger shook slightly, and the black figure was stunned.

Obviously, the figure hadn't imagined that this would be the outcome! Right when the figure was about to launch another attack, Luo Cheng had directly smashed his fist towards the black figure's face!

The black figure didn't dare allow Luo Cheng's fist to hit, and the black figure utilized the dagger to block the attack!

Bang!

The black figure was instantly blasted flying by the enormous force that Luo Cheng's fist carried!

Luo Cheng stopped and gazed at the black figure that was 15m away. Earlier, he felt a wave of fear after suffering the black figure's attack as well. Because this person's movement technique was truly too terrifying.

If his physical body hadn't been strengthened again by his recent breakthrough to the peak First Heaven of the Primordial Fiendgod Technique, then the strike from before would have taken his head.

Swiftly back on his feet, the black clad figure who held the dagger was stunned. Obviously, he hadn't imagined that Luo Cheng's physical body would actually be strong to such a terrifying extent!

In next to no time, he recovered from his shock, and he didn't hesitate to vanish mysteriously on the spot. In the next moment, he'd appeared over 20m away!

Luo Cheng had an extremely solemn expression as he watched the black clad figure vanish from his field of vision. Earlier, if it wasn't for the strength of his physical body, then he would have probably become a headless corpse by now.

'What a terrifying peak Houtian Realm Assassin, he's probably an assassin from the Blood Kill Pavillion. This is definitely the doing of Zhou Yan! I'll make sure you die a painful death!!' Luo Cheng thought as he clenched his fist.

Perhaps the combat ability of these Houtian Realm assassin wasn't very terrifying. However, he had no choice but to fear their ability when it came to techniques of assassination.

Just like the moment that assassin had chosen just now. That moment was exactly the moment where Luo Cheng had let his guard down and was the most relaxed. Yet it was exactly this subtle instant that had been accurately grasped by that assassin!

Luo Cheng took a deep breath and started to become serious. Presently, the assassin, that's if there's only one of them, is aware that his physical body was formidable, so they would de finitely go all out when they attacked next!

Of course, he wasn't afraid of them. He was just truly unwilling for what happened earlier to repeat itself and suffer an attack and yet have no choice but to just watch as the enemy left!

After he finished thinking of this, Luo Cheng didn't stay here any longer, and he flashed towards the depths of the Bloodmoon Forest.

After around 10 minutes later, the black clad assassin suddenly appeared where Luo Cheng stood just now. He glanced at the direction that Luo Cheng had left towards before turning around and vanished towards the direction he came out from.
