"Ah—" Mo Yuhu was taken aback as he was suddenly stored away.
Morosa chuckled warmly and looked into the distance. "Master, are you preparing to take action? Do you need my help?" Even if he joined the fight, he would only use the methods of an Eternal True God, and would rather die than use any Sector Beast techniques.
"If I need your help, I'll let you know," Luo Feng said, eager for the battle. Deep down, he loved fighting, and since becoming an Eternal True God, he hadn't yet encountered a worthy opponent.
"Alright," Morosa replied, slightly disappointed. He also longed for a fierce battle.
"You watch from here; I'll go take a look first," Luo Feng said as he flew closer to the source of the disturbance.
Morosa watched from the sky, thinking, "Master hasn't been an Eternal True God for long and hasn't had time to master many powerful secret techniques. I hope this opponent is strong enough, so I can join in."
Morosa was itching for a fight.
Even without using Sector Beast techniques, Morosa had already developed numerous moves based on his understanding of the Destruction Dao.
"Hmm?" As Luo Feng flew closer, he noticed a flying boat carrying a team of True Gods entering the area.
...
The flying boat carried one Void True God and more than ten True Gods, cautiously making their way toward Huyang City while avoiding dangerous areas along the route.
"Suozi, Suoyun, you two will be settling in Huyang City," said the leader, a man with loose hair. "Huyang City is a large city with countless True Gods. Even a Void True God is just an ordinary member there, and you True Gods will be at the bottom."
The two young men listened obediently.
The man with loose hair was their tribe's leader, the only Void True God in the tribe, who had once lived in Huyang City for many years.
"When you get to Huyang City, keep a low profile. Show off your treasures, and you'll lose your life in no time," the leader warned. "Be low-key, low-key, and more low-key. Even though you're the most talented in the tribe, you still need to be humble because you're too weak right now."
"Yes," the two young men replied.
"As long as you don't flaunt anything, no one will bother you. After all, Huyang City has laws and order," the leader continued. "But if you show off, you'll be quietly killed, and even the Huyang guards won't be able to find the culprit."
"Haha, you've said that many times, Chief."
"These two kids will remember it well."
The other members of the team laughed.
The leader nodded with a smile. "The first thing you must do when you arrive in Huyang City is thoroughly examine your bloodline. Then, find a secret technique that suits you. Huyang City offers countless opportunities, and if you seize them, you might become Void True Gods."
Suozi and Suoyun's eyes were filled with longing.
They were not content to remain in the tribe for the rest of their lives, where they would likely only ever be True Gods. They wanted to become Void True Gods and experience more of the world.
"Don't worry, Chief. We know how to survive in Huyang City," Suoyun assured.
The leader nodded slightly, but his expression suddenly changed.
"Not good." The leader's aura surged as he immediately began burning his divine body, unleashing a powerful surge of divine energy to fully control the flying boat. Layers of brilliant formations appeared on the surface of the flying boat.
At that moment, ten terrifying shadows appeared simultaneously, their invisible forces combining to attack the flying boat.
"Military formations? Ten Void True Gods?" The leader knew this was bad news. He had once lived in Huyang City and had rich experience, but after the deaths of his loved ones and close friends, he had grown tired of life in the city and moved to a small, weak tribe in the wilderness.
Over time, he naturally became the leader of the tribe, attracting many weak True Gods to join him.
After all, those who survived in the wilderness were usually weak and poor True Gods. Having a Void True God as a protector naturally formed a larger tribe.
Boom~~~
The ten shadows attacked together, causing layers of formations to appear on the flying boat. Even when one or two layers were destroyed, new ones would emerge.
"Impressive," one of the ten shadows remarked in surprise.
They were elite soldiers, the personal guards of the commander, Hei Duomo. It was exceedingly rare for a Void True God to resist all ten of them at once, even for a short time.
"Finish him quickly."
"We can't delay."
They feared angering their commander. If the commander had to step in, it would mean they had failed in their duty.
Boom. Boom. Boom...
The aura of the ten shadows intensified.
"What? Ten elite soldiers, all burning their divine bodies to fight to the death? I'm just passing through!" The leader couldn't believe it. What kind of grudge would make them go all out like this right from the start?
The leader glanced at his companions, regret in his eyes.
"This time, we won't escape. We're all going to die here," the man with loose hair said.
The more than ten True Gods from the tribe were stunned.
Suozi and Suoyun, the two young True Gods, were especially shocked. Moments ago, they had been filled with excitement about life in Huyang City, and now they were about to die?
They had been born in the tribe and had never even visited a big city.
"This is fate."
"We've seen what we needed to see, experienced what we needed to experience."
"It's a shame that Suoyun and Suozi are still so young and have never been to a big city."
Most of the other True Gods in the tribe were calm. They were the elite of the tribe, having accompanied the leader to Huyang City for supplies multiple times and often going out to hunt beasts. They were used to life and death.
"Is it finally my turn?" The leader waited for his fate with a calm expression, memories flashing in his eyes.
The other True Gods also looked out from the flying boat, watching the terrifying scene of their attackers, all resigned to their impending death.
Suddenly—
"What is that?"
"That—"
The leader, Suozi, Suoyun, and the rest of the tribe were all shocked to see a black-haired man appear out of thin air. He had a pair of dark golden horns and deep, piercing eyes.
The moment he appeared, the ten shadows were so frightened that they immediately fled. "It's an Eternal True God!"
The leader in the flying boat reacted quickly, immediately flying out and bowing respectfully. "Greetings, Supreme One!"
Luo Feng glanced at him and nodded slightly before waving his hand to store the flying boat and all its occupants.
Luo Feng anticipated a battle with the unknown Eternal True God and knew that even a small shockwave could kill these weaker beings. Not wanting to harm the innocent, he stored them away first.
Luo Feng then looked up toward the distant source of the powerful aura, where the ten shadows had fled.
"I can see you," Luo Feng said with a smile.
The black-robed figure lurking in the distance was seething with anger. Although he was powerful, having cultivated to the Eighth Realm of Eternity—a high level among Eternal True Gods—he did not want any accidents to occur at this crucial moment of harvesting the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower.
But the very thing he feared had happened!
"This is my place of cultivation," a terrifying power was released slightly as a deep voice echoed. "This passing god, please leave."
"Place of cultivation?" Luo Feng chuckled. "Why do I sense the aura of a rare treasure!"
The terrifying force from the distant area revealed a black-robed figure.
The black-robed figure looked sullen and furious. He had done his best to conceal the aura, but the energy of the heavenly treasure was too mysterious. Only a Chaos Ruler could perfectly hide the aura of such a treasure.
"The Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower's blooming period lasts only ten days. In those ten days, not only did a second Eternal True God pass by, but he also detected the treasure's aura," the black-robed figure sighed inwardly.
The black-robed figure gazed at Luo Feng from a distance.
Their eyes locked.
"Indeed, there is a heavenly treasure here, but I found it first," the black-robed figure said. "Anyone who dares to take it, I will kill!"
He was gambling.
Gambling that Luo Feng, not knowing the nature of the treasure, would not take the risk.
What he didn't know was that Luo Feng, besides a few critical treasures, was currently very poor and in dire need of resources. Moreover, Luo Feng had been lonely and bored for too long in the Primal Universe region, craving a good battle.
"I'd like to give it a try," Luo Feng said, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit.
"You're forcing my hand," the black-robed figure sighed softly, and the surrounding world grew darker. The ten shadowy guards beside him silently disintegrated and died. Even in death, they could hardly believe it.
"You killed your own men?" Luo Feng asked, puzzled.
"When they learned of the heavenly treasure, they were doomed," the black-robed figure replied calmly. "Originally, they could have lived a few more days until the matter was settled, and then I would have killed them. But you arrived!"
Ordinary treasures wouldn't have necessitated killing his guards; Hei Duomo could have handled the attention they drew.
But the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower was too valuable. Once exposed, it would bring endless trouble, and Hei Duomo doubted he could withstand it. His solution was to kill every living being in the area. The ten guards who had been with him were no exception.
"Tell me your name. An Eternal True God is worthy of being remembered," the black-robed figure said.
"Since you're going to die, there's no need to know too much," Luo Feng replied.
The black-robed figure laughed in anger.
He had been reluctant to engage because on the Origin Continent, no Eternal True God could be underestimated. After all, anyone might have a terrifying treasure. But that didn't mean he lacked confidence!
Hei Duomo, having reached the Eighth Realm of Eternity, was exceptionally powerful among Eternal True Gods. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been tasked with overseeing affairs in Huyang City.
"This brash Eternal True God has no idea what he's up against," the black-robed figure thought as he unleashed his carefully prepared killing move.
"Hmm?" Luo Feng sensed it.
An unknown law source had been triggered.
A black-silver spike appeared out of thin air.
The surface of the black-silver spike was covered in dense runes, radiating terrifying power. The moment it appeared, it was right in front of Luo Feng, moving so fast that the space around it warped, and the flow of time was slightly distorted.
Luo Feng's body was not large, but as a perfect god body, he could change his size at will. Although he appeared small, he was actually vast and immense. Moreover, his small universe back home continued to generate divine power, connected to his True God heart, constantly supplying energy, allowing Luo Feng's divine body to keep growing.
The black-silver spike, about half the height of Luo Feng, instantly struck his chest with a resounding "Boom!" It was as if two towering mountains had collided at high speed. Even with his perfect god body, Luo Feng was forced to take a step back. That single step caused the void to tremble.
At the same time, more spikes appeared out of nowhere.
As they appeared, these spikes were already upon Luo Feng!
One spike struck Luo Feng's head, another hit his back, and yet another targeted his face... Nineteen spikes in total attacked Luo Feng from all directions.
The nineteen spikes coordinated perfectly, their destructive power surging into Luo Feng's body, aiming to completely obliterate his divine form.
Each spike also carried a strange toxin that penetrated Luo Feng's divine body, corroding his consciousness.
"A law-based toxin?" Luo Feng detected it, his eyes lighting up with excitement. "This is interesting."
It had been far too long since he had encountered such an intriguing opponent.
