Chapter 54: Using Every Possible Means

"You protect Qingyan," Luo Feng ordered. Holding a wine pot in one hand, he stepped out of the cave dwelling.

"Don't worry, Master," Motosa replied. Standing beside Moyu Qingyan, he looked up at the frost covering the sky and earth. The cave dwelling's formation naturally activated, protecting both Motosa and Moyu Qingyan.

Moyu Qingyan was a little nervous. "Lord Motosa, perhaps I should hide in the flying vessel?"

"At a critical moment, I will take you into the flying vessel's secret treasure. As for now? Just relax and watch the battle," Motosa said with a smile, looking into the distance. "The Food Kingdom's forces are attacking; this battle will be quite spectacular."

Moyu Qingyan glanced at Motosa beside him, feeling uneasy. Lord Motosa was only a Void True God; if the Food Kingdom's power swept over them, both of them would likely turn to dust.

"Since Master arranged it this way, he must trust Lord Motosa," Moyu Qingyan thought helplessly. He could only watch the battle nervously, silently hoping not to be affected.

At this moment, Luo Feng reached the nearby core building in just a few steps.

Deep beneath this building was the entrance to the forbidden area.

"As long as I guard the entrance, no one will get in," Luo Feng declared from the building's main entrance. He watched as countless snowy white threads descended in the night, weaving together like a celestial net, instantly binding the three colossal mechanical secret treasures that had shot into the sky.

The Golden Xi Corps, the largest in size, had transformed into the appearance of a 'Golden Xi' monstrous beast. Enveloped by the snowy white net, it attempted to tear through it.

The mechanical flow secret treasures wielded by the two Huyang Guards were the Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast and the Blade-Wing Devourer. Although slightly less powerful, they were equally valiant.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Restrained by the snowy white net, the three colossal mechanical secret treasures were clearly greatly weakened.

"What a formidable celestial net," Luo Feng commented, taking a small sip of wine at the entrance. He felt increasingly invigorated. "This net-binding technique alone is enough to defeat Chairman Bloodpython. The master who wields this technique should be comparable to Molixiao."

At this moment, beneath the enormous snowy white net, a figure materialized—a woman with a body of ice.

Her entire body was composed of ice, and her gaze was even colder.

"The Golden Xi Corps and two Huyan Guards, do you think you can stop me?" Yu Tianyi's voice resounded everywhere. "Attack!"

"Kill!"

"Destroy this place!"

Accompanied by rolling thunder, four figures had already stormed into the camp.

"Impudent!"

The colossal Golden Xi, still bound by the celestial net high in the sky, remained terrifyingly powerful. With a roar, it instantly activated the full might of Huyang City's array formations, causing mysterious arrays to appear above the camp.

Luo Feng looked up and saw layers of formations emerging in the sky. Some of these formations shimmered with golden light, some flowed with black energy, and others emanated purple light. Yet, these numerous formations worked together perfectly, resembling an abyssal vortex.

This massive abyssal vortex formation enveloped the entire camp, forcing the previously formidable celestial net to retract.

"Huyang City's array formations are indeed troublesome. Under their suppression, I lose thirty percent of my strength, and other Eternal True Gods lose even more," Yu Tianyi immediately sensed the terrifying power of the formations.

Aided by the formations, the colossal Golden Xi, the Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast, and the Blade-Wing Devourer significantly increased in power. They charged towards Yu Tianyi in mid-air.

"Relying on mechanical flow secret treasures to achieve such power, yet their techniques are quite crude," Yu Tianyi remarked disdainfully at the sight. She extended her hands, and giant ice blades materialized in mid-air.

"Kill!"

Her blade technique, forged over countless ages, unleashed nine giant ice blades that tore through the sky, encircling and attacking the colossal Golden Xi, the Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast, and the Blade-Wing Devourer.

These ice blades were terrifyingly powerful, and their techniques were exceptionally profound.

"She is Yu Tianyi, one of the 'Five Yu Tian Gods' of the Yu Tian clan," General Golden Xi transmitted to the two Huyang Guard commanders. "She comprehended Chaos-level blade techniques long ago and forged a 'Body of Ice' using mechanical flow secret treasures. Even united, we cannot defeat her; we can only find a way to protect ourselves! Guarding the forbidden area will have to rely on Lord Luohe."

"Yu Tianyi?" The two Huyang Guard commanders also felt immense pressure.

The Nine-Jiang Chaos Region of the Yu Kingdom bordered the Liuyin Chaos Region of the Food Kingdom.

The Liuyin Chaos Region was the fiefdom of Marquis Liuyin! Marquis Liuyin had only a dozen or so renowned Eternal True Gods under his command, and the Five Yu Tian Gods were among them. Each was formidable, capable of overwhelming several armies on their own.

Inside the core 'Lord's Mansion' of Huyang City.

The Huyang City Lord, Molixiao, the white-haired elder, and the one-horned man 'General Yong'—all four of their divine power avatars were present, observing the scenes monitored across the entire city.

"Several ordinary residential areas across the city are under attack," the Huyang City Lord observed the monitoring screens. Hidden Eternal True Gods were wantonly slaughtering residents in these areas.

These ordinary residential areas were inhabited by True Gods who resided there for free. Each True God's living space typically did not exceed one kilometer in length and width! A mere ten thousand square kilometers could house over a hundred million citizens, illustrating the incredibly high population density.

Although these ordinary residential areas were enveloped by formations, they couldn't withstand these top-tier Eternal True Gods. The formations were quickly breached, and the True Gods living inside had no chance to resist, instantly turning to ash.

Rumble!

The wanton destruction within the city made the Huyang City Lord and the others grimace.

"Huyang Guards have already been dispatched," Molixiao stated. "They are deliberately causing destruction in the city to force us to deploy the Huyang Guards, thus scattering our forces."

"The Food Kingdom truly has no bottom line," the one-horned man said coldly. "They don't care about slaughtering the city's citizens to achieve their goals."

"We must protect the city's citizens," the Huyang City Lord said. "The ordinary residential areas have too high a population density. Such widespread slaughter will cause panic in the city, and when the Marquis learns of it, he will severely punish us!"

While Mei Wuqi's past massacre of hundreds of millions of citizens was heinous, his largest abduction occurred when the ordinary city 'Fangjiu City' was breached by monster hordes. The city's inhabitants were already fleeing in disarray, allowing him to seize hundreds of millions in one swoop.

However, when causing trouble within Huyang City, he was much more cautious, always abducting small numbers and even requiring the help of Huyang Guard commander 'Qian Yu Chong' to ensure a clean operation that wouldn't incite panic.

Such widespread slaughter by the Food Kingdom forces, if too extensive, would cause panic among the city's residents. Many would flee the city, unwilling to reside there anymore, which would then affect the collection of 'residency fees'!

Marquis Jiujiang and the Divine Kings would not permit such things to happen.

"All three forbidden areas have been attacked. The Food Kingdom's forces this time are indeed very strong; besides Xueyun, there are also Yu Tianxu and Yu Tianyi!" The Huyang City Lord looked at the three beside him. "I will guard the Lord's Mansion; the forbidden areas are entrusted to you."

"The Lord's Mansion is the most important," the one-horned man said calmly. "You don't need to worry about the three forbidden areas."

Luo Feng was originally standing by the forbidden area's main hall, holding his wine pot and leisurely observing the battle between the three mechanical flow secret treasures in the sky and the experts from the Food Kingdom.

However, when Huyang City's array formations erupted with terrifying power, only Yu Tianyi and one lightning-wielding Eternal True God among the five attacking Eternal True Gods from the Food Kingdom still intended to charge towards the forbidden area. The other three Eternal True Gods from the Food Kingdom, however, retreated abruptly, fleeing to some ordinary residential areas next to the military camp and instantly moving to tear apart the formations covering those areas.

"They deserve to die!" Luo Feng's expression turned cold, and the wine pot in his hand vanished.

The three Eternal True Gods who had fled outside the camp were now scattered and quite far from Luo Feng.

Luo Feng, standing at the hall entrance, suddenly donned golden armor, and pairs of golden wings unfurled behind him. Simultaneously, driven by Luo Feng's perfect divine power and leveraging the might of the Wings of Wu, he began to stir chaos.

The Wings of Wu's Chaos-level technique, 'Control Chaos'!

At this moment, Luo Feng did not conserve his perfect divine power, freely converting and expending it, making the 'Control Chaos' range exceptionally vast! Chaos energy descended within billions of kilometers around him, causing vast amounts of matter and energy to decompose and return to chaotic energy.

"Hm?" Yu Tianyi, who had been single-handedly besieging the three colossal mechanical flow secret treasures, saw her expression subtly change. She detected the surrounding cosmic energy reverting to chaos.

The dense chaotic currents were incredibly heavy.

"What a powerful chaos domain, this is bad!" Yu Tianyi realized the danger. Her Body of Ice was naturally immune to this degree of restraint, but her subordinates would likely suffer greatly against such power.

The three Eternal True Gods who had fled to the ordinary residential areas were about to unleash wanton slaughter, aiming to force the Golden Xi Corps and the Huyang Guards to stop them. However, they suddenly discovered that the surrounding cosmic energy was reverting to chaos.

Endless chaotic currents enveloped them.

These chaotic currents seemed to consciously bind and squeeze them.

"No, no—"

These three Eternal True Gods each had their own specialties, and in terms of strength, they were no weaker than Heizhuomo. If they could achieve enough merit, they might even be granted mechanical flow secret treasures by the Marquis.

It was easy to earn merit in hostile cities, but it required taking risks!

Too many risks could lead to death.

"Puff, puff, puff!" Under the terrifying chaotic currents' binding and squeezing, the three top-tier Eternal True Gods shattered in terror.

Luo Feng, standing before the hall entrance, slightly frowned. "Of these three Eternal True Gods, my 'Control Chaos' only crushed two True God Hearts. The other Eternal True God had no True God Heart within him."

Luo Feng knew very well that some Eternal True Gods possessed special 'Sources of Law' or practiced unique inheritances, granting them life-saving secret techniques.

For instance, the Undying River, a life-saving secret technique of the Duan Dong River lineage, was even more powerful. However, Luo Feng, with his perfect divine body, simply didn't need such techniques.

"What a pity, I couldn't eliminate all evil; I only killed two," Luo Feng muttered, his gaze sweeping over Yu Tianyi in mid-air and the other suppressed lightning Eternal True God.

"Lord Luohe!" Yu Tianyi's eyes, however, showed battle intent; merely relying on a domain couldn't intimidate her.
