Chapter 55: Bounty

Luo Feng was initially quite interested, drinking and watching the battle from the side. Due to his master Zuo Shan Ke, he might have future conflicts with the rulers of the Food Nation. However, Luo Feng held no great animosity towards other cultivators from the Food Nation.

But when they began wantonly slaughtering weaker True Gods, Luo Feng's murderous intent intensified.

"When two nations contend, it's about skill! But to slaughter the weak... what a filthy bunch!" Luo Feng's eyes turned cold, and at the same time, he began to search for the bounty on 'Yu Tianyi' in the Yanfeng Hall's hidden chamber.

The bounties listed in Huyang City were all those received by the Huyang Branch of the Yanfeng Hall! Bounties from other major cities or even other nations were not automatically issued to all clients.

"The bounty on Yu Tianyi is as high as 500,000 Cosmic Sands?" Luo Feng found it immediately, and in an instant, he accepted the bounty.

Not everyone could have a bounty on them, because the minimum reward was 'ten thousand Cosmic Sands'! If the mission wasn't completed, the reward had to remain in the Yanfeng Hall indefinitely. Therefore, most Eternal True Gods had no bounties.

To this day, Luo Feng had never had a bounty on himself.

"This Lord Luo He, he suppressed and killed a peak Eternal True God with just his domain abilities. Is his mechanical stream secret treasure very special?" Yu Tianyi made an educated guess.

There are combination-type mechanical stream secret treasures that can condense divine power to rival chaotic divine power, and then when chaotic abilities are unleashed, they can possess such might.

"President Blood Python sent a message before his death, saying that Lord Luo He's mechanical stream secret treasure is worth at least 5 million Cosmic Sands. Perhaps it's true," Yu Tianyi mused inwardly, which made her somewhat tempted.

Yu Tianyi glanced down. At this moment, only one of her subordinates was still alive: the Eternal True God who controlled lightning.

This Eternal True God, who wielded lightning, possessed the mechanical stream secret treasure 'Core of Thunder.' Through long years of cultivation, he had also unlocked the 'Core of Thunder's' potential to an extremely high level.

In terms of strength, he was no less capable than President Blood Python.

But at this moment, suppressed by Huyang City's formations and pinned down by the Chaos Domain of the Wu Qi Wings, he fell directly to the ground, bound and squeezed by the chaotic currents, unable to move.

"Lord Yu Tian, save me, save me," the Eternal True God transmitted a plea for help.

Strands of pure white silk coalesced in the void, enveloping the Eternal True God and whisking him away rapidly into the distance.

"You go first. I'll test this Lord Luo He," Yu Tianyi, in her ice body, stood mid-air and transmitted her voice from afar.

"Lord Yu Tian, be careful," the lightning-wielding Eternal True God, who was being carried away, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Escape?"

Luo Feng, standing before the temple entrance, moved. With a single step, using the 'Myriad Worlds Escape Token' he had obtained from Ying Cang, he instantly traversed space, appearing near the lightning-wielding Eternal True God enveloped by numerous white silk strands.

"No—" The lightning-wielding Eternal True God watched Luo Feng's sudden appearance beside him in disbelief.

"Hmph!"

Luo Feng extended a hand, his five fingers sharp like five blades. They pierced directly through the white silk strands, entered the Eternal True God's chest, and grasped his True God Heart.

The True God Heart had already shattered!

Luo Feng collected the body and all remaining items. The white silk strands naturally disintegrated into nothingness.

Luo Feng then looked up at Yu Tianyi in the distance.

Yu Tianyi paid no mind to her subordinate's death. She stared at Luo Feng and said, "Spatial traversal? The City Lord's Mansion trusts you that much to grant you the power to traverse space?"

Even when employing powerful individuals, the City Lord's Mansion usually remained vigilant to prevent hired hands from turning against them in battle!

"Yu Tianyi, are you ready to die?" Luo Feng asked.

"I have cultivated until now and have yet to encounter an Eternal True God who can kill me!" Yu Tianyi sneered. In an instant, ice blades erupted around her, forcefully repelling the Giant Jin Xiao, the Three-Sword Sky-Rending Beast, and the Blade-Winged Devouring Worm.

"I heard your saber techniques have reached the Chaos Realm level? Coincidentally, I also know a few saber moves," Luo Feng said.

"You also know saber techniques?" Yu Tianyi flickered, easily shaking off the Giant Jin Xiao, the Three-Sword Sky-Rending Beast, and the Blade-Winged Devouring Worm.

This made General Jin Xiao and Gao Wushui feel somewhat exhausted. Even when wielding legion-type mechanical stream secret treasures, they were still comprehensively inferior to such an extremely powerful Eternal True God.

Three against one, even with the assistance of Huyang City's formations, they were suppressed! Now, shaking them off was effortless.

"Die!"

Yu Tianyi lunged forward, and nine ice blades condensed before her. The nine blades seemed to cut through heaven and earth, assailing Luo Feng with irresistible might.

"Hmm?"

Luo Feng felt that the surrounding space was completely sealed, leaving him nowhere to hide from these nine blades!

"In terms of sneak attacks and assassinations, Ying Cang has the advantage, but in a direct confrontation, Yu Tianyi is even stronger." Since he couldn't dodge, Luo Feng didn't. He even used his Chaos Domain's perception to judge the opponent's might.

When the nine ice blades reached him, Luo Feng suddenly surged upwards, a sharp glint in his eyes: "Boundless Ten Directions!"

Facing the nine encircling ice blades, Luo Feng used his divine body as a saber, unleashing the 'Boundless Ten Directions Saber'—the only purely defensive saber technique from the 'Nine Breaking Boundary Sabers.'

"Buzz, buzz, buzz" Luo Feng's entire divine body resembled a saber, and terrifying power circulated on his surface, forming thick saber shadows.

The saber shadows overlapped, making Luo Feng's figure appear blurry!

"Hmph."

Yu Tianyi was very confident in her strength. The nine ice blades, intending to cut and shatter everything, struck Luo Feng! The power of these nine ice blades significantly diminished as they cut through the layers of saber shadows. When they finally struck Luo Feng's perfectly refined divine body, only minor marks appeared on its surface, but these traces vanished instantly.

"Using my physical body to perform the Boundless Ten Directions Saber to block her saber technique still broke the skin a little," Luo Feng thought.

After more than twenty epochs of cultivation, Luo Feng was far stronger than when he first fought Ying Cang. Therefore, he didn't even use 'Annihilation' to burn divine power, simply relying on his perfectly refined divine body.

This scene made Yu Tianyi, who had been lunging forward, stop abruptly, somewhat alarmed: "What kind of body-protection technique is that? Layers of saber shadows protecting him, and my proud ultimate move couldn't even wound him?"

"The Boundless Ten Directions Saber is still not strong enough," Luo Feng mused. Among the 'Nine Breaking Boundary Sabers,' the six Eternal-level techniques became progressively more complex. Besides the relatively simple 'Saber of Creation and Destruction,' 'Saber of Returning to Ruin,' and 'Saber of Reincarnation,' the later 'Three-Phase Shadow Saber,' 'Five Directions Sky-Rending Saber,' and 'Boundless Ten Directions Saber' all integrated multiple artistic conceptions, deepening Luo Feng's understanding of Chaos Laws.

But in the end, there was still a gap compared to true Chaos Realm saber techniques.

"Luo He, it seems you have a set of combination-type mechanical stream secret treasures—proficient in domains, body protection, and evasion..." Yu Tianyi sneered. "What kind of skill is it to rely on treasures? I won't play with you today."

Yu Tianyi immediately shot into the sky!

"Trying to leave?" Luo Feng instantly traversed space, suddenly appearing directly in Yu Tianyi's path.

"I knew you could traverse space!" Yu Tianyi had already set up an ambush. With a thought, countless white silk strands, integrated into the void, emerged like a massive trap net, enveloping Luo Feng. While trapping him, Yu Tianyi swiftly fled towards the distant night sky.

A saber suddenly appeared in Luo Feng's hand. All the boundless power from his three body refinements infused into this God King-level saber embryo.

A flash of saber light!

A saber light, seemingly capable of tearing apart heaven and earth, appeared. It ripped through the white silk net and also aimed to tear apart the fleeing Yu Tianyi! Yu Tianyi nimbly flickered, managing to evade most of it, but her arm, merely grazed by the saber light, was instantly annihilated.

The might of this saber strike greatly astonished Yu Tianyi: "How... how strong? He feels even more ferocious than Second Brother!"

Luo Feng lunged forward with the saber light. With the terrifying speed granted by his perfectly refined divine body and the Myriad Worlds Escape Token's control over space, Yu Tianyi could not evade him in close quarters.

"Oh no!" Yu Tianyi only felt an unshakeable, terrifying figure charging into her!

Bang!!!

Her ice body exploded upon impact, completely shattering. Luo Feng stopped only after passing through her form, then frowned slightly as he looked around.

"She condensed an ice body to launch the assault. Her true body isn't here at all," Luo Feng sensed carefully in all directions. "Furthermore, she's not within my Chaos Domain."

Her true body was hidden far away; only a body condensed from ice power came out to fight. Killing her would be extremely difficult.

This was merely a technique of an Eternal True God.

Those ancient Chaos Masters would all dedicate effort to life-preserving secret arts, and even reincarnation secret arts.

Even a God King wouldn't dare claim they could completely kill a Chaos Master. They might appear to be killed, but perhaps they would revive elsewhere, or reincarnate.

For example, his master Zuo Shan Ke chose to reincarnate. After reincarnation, all karmic ties were severed, and if he didn't reveal himself, no one would recognize him. The rulers of the Food Nation thus had a hidden formidable enemy!

Invading and annexing other divine nations would lead to many future troubles. Since the Food Nation chose this path, they had to be prepared to face these 'repercussions.'

"Of the five Eternal True Gods from the Food Nation this time, only three were killed," Luo Feng said as he landed. "To kill them completely, it's truly not easy."

"Lord Luo He."

"The attacking forces from the Food Nation have been completely routed," the Giant Jin Xiao, the Three-Sword Sky-Rending Beast, and the Blade-Winged Devouring Worm flew over, all excited. As expected of Lord Luo He, a single move completely crushed them.

Luo Feng wasn't particularly excited. Even though he had accepted the bounty on Yu Tianyi, he still couldn't defeat her.

"Such intense combat fluctuations," Luo Feng remotely sensed other terrifying fluctuations erupting far beyond Huyang City. "Especially the fluctuations from the southwest. There should be two exceptionally powerful beings fighting there. If I don't burn my divine power, I'm afraid I'd be a bit inferior to them."

That terrifying clash in the southwest region involved combatants who both surpassed Yu Tianyi and Ying Cang in power.

"Mo Li Xiao, I sense an intense clash in the southwest region of Huyang City. Do you need my help?" Luo Feng transmitted. "I've already routed the Food Nation's forces here."
