Volume Six: Ultimate - The Murderer's Identity

In Huyang City, at the City Lord's Mansion, atop a pavilion.

Luo Feng sat alone, drinking. "The sudden deaths of the three rulers of the Food Country, especially the sudden death of a powerful figure like the Heaven Kun Country Lord, will surely lead to a thorough investigation by the Two Great Ancient Nations! Now, let's see what they can do."

The results of the investigations by the Two Great Ancient Nations also determined their own response strategies.

"What?"

"All three of them are dead?"

The Food Country had a total of five God-Kings. The surviving Liu Yu God King Skull Peak God King, were able to determine through causal intuition that the three most powerful rulers of the Food Country were all dead. This left them completely bewildered!

Three people died instantly, but the two weaker god-kings survived.

"Regardless of whether the Heaven Kun Country Lord has been reincarnated or not, to kill him silently, one must be at the level of an Emperor or Monarch." Liu Yu God King was shocked. With the strength of the Heaven Kun Country Lord's Primal Chaos Bloodline, even if Emperor Lord Gui Xu level expert were to make a move, it would probably cause the heavens and earth to collapse and create a huge commotion, allowing the Heaven Kun Country Lord to hold out for a considerable period of time.

Like before, when the Heaven Kun Country Lord and his companions joined forces to deal with the Yu Shui Country Lord, it took them a long time to achieve no results.

This shows that...

Killing a being at the level of the Heaven Kun Country Lord, even forcing him to reincarnate, is an extremely difficult task.

"What should I do?" Liu Yu God King was somewhat uneasy. She only had one true form. In the past, her entire country had submitted to the Food Country, and her clan had also multiplied and survived within the Food Country's territory.

"Investigating the deaths of the three kings will likely lead back to me." The Skull Peak God King acted swiftly. "Those who can be relocated, relocate them immediately."

The Skull Peak God King has numerous avatars, naturally possessing multiple burrows, and has already controlled several cities in the Skypeak Ice Field! When invited to join the Food Country, he only brought a portion of his clan. Now, he has rapidly begun his migration.

They were all somewhat panicked at this moment! They all sensed that the hidden crisis behind the deaths of the three kings of the Food Country would leave them powerless to resist once it affected them.

"The capital of the Food Kingdom." A figure of white light appeared in the capital of the Food Kingdom. His entire body was formed from white light, and he looked down at the city with an expressionless face. At this moment, the entire city turned gray, and countless living beings were motionless.

The whole world seemed to stand still.

The white-clad figure walked through the suspended capital of the Food Kingdom, entered the palace, and walked into the main hall.

The Heaven Kun Country Lord was sitting there, Great Saint Yi Xiu was respectfully offering him Food Bottle.

"Um?"

The figure in white light watched this scene, and with a thought, a huge amount of quicksand slowly flowed behind him, and the surrounding scenery also began to move.

The Heaven Kun Country Lord reached for the Food Bottle, and suddenly—

The eyes of the Heaven Kun Country Lord and the Great Saint Yi Xiu dimmed instantly.

"Instant annihilation, utterly powerless. Heaven Kun probably didn't even have time to reincarnate." The white-light figure observed, "Is it a secret technique of will? Or an attack targeting the soul? The Supreme Rules of the Origin Continent restrict the upper limit of all power! Whether it's energy, matter, causality, will... all power has an upper limit."

"Within the limit of power, there are no more than ten people on the entire Origin Continent who can achieve this." The white-light figure pondered.

"The Heaven Kun Country Lord has always been very cautious. Although he is domineering towards the surrounding countries, he has never dared to offend a truly powerful being."

"Who killed him?"

"Moreover, he killed three kings of the Food Country at the same time? Could it be that he had a grudge against all three kings?" The white-light figure pondered.

Call!

Time continued to pass, and the corpses of the Heaven Kun Country Lord and the Great Saint Yi Xiu, along with the countless creatures inside the Food Bottle, all vanished.

"He must be using soul-based or will-based techniques nearby." The white figure flew over the entire Royal Capital and began to carefully examine all living beings in the Royal Capital area during this period.

"Um?"

The white-clad figure's eyes lit up as he fully activated the treasure bestowed by the Ancestor. The enormous sand phantom behind him rapidly expanded and spread, covering the entire Royal Capital region in the blink of an eye.

Buzz!

The two figures, which were originally difficult to spot, also became visible under the shadow of the quicksand.

A long-haired man in Black Robe, wearing a golden mask, stood above the Royal Capital, coldly gazing towards the palace. Beside him stood an old man devoid of any life force; it was easy to see that he was a puppet.

"Hmm?" The figure in white light was startled. He carefully observed the figure of the Black Robe Golden Mask Man.

Even from observing the traces left from the past, the white-robed figure sensed the Black Robe man's profound and unfathomable aura, along with a faint, eerie sense of terror! It even made him somewhat uneasy!

"Such an appearance, such an aura, I've never seen anything like it before." The white-clad figure was secretly shocked. "Where did such a terrifying being come from on the Origin Continent?"

As the 'Heaven Light Monarch,' one of the nine monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Nation, there are very few powerful figures he doesn't know. Previously, only that mysterious powerful figure from the Shadow Sky World possessed Emperor-level combat power, and no one knew his identity.

And now there's one more.

"He took that bottle, which contains countless living beings. By tracing the karma of these beings, we might find something." The white-light figure tried to trace it. He looked at the Food Bottle and saw some living beings Food Bottle, which naturally created karma.

Weak Xing Zhe cannot conceal cause and effect; by using cause and effect to investigate, they will make some discoveries.

"Um?"

"These weak Xing Zhe have all been released into the wild and regained their freedom?" The white-light figure was somewhat surprised. "It seems that this mysterious powerhouse is quite compassionate towards the weak."

The figure in white light shook its head slightly. Having traced the matter to this point, it was difficult to investigate further.

"This mysterious expert is also accompanied by a puppet servant." The white-robed figure also observed the old man beside the Black Robe Golden Mask Man. The old man was a puppet in disguise, and no trace of him could be found.

"It's strange that you bring servants with you when you go out to do things."

The white-clad figure chuckled, then strode away.

The entire Origin Continent is governed by the order established jointly by Two Great Ancient Nations! They meticulously investigate anything that might threaten this 'order'. Currently, their primary focus is on the Three Great Alien Races, as well as five other powerful figures including the Wind Capital Empress and the Mother River Master.

Today, they discovered that there was another mysterious and powerful figure they needed to take seriously.

"Di Fu, I've traveled to the past timeline, and the murderer should be this man in Black Robe and a gold mask," Emperor Lord Jiu Feng said, displaying the scene he had investigated.

Di Fu watched.

"He also brought a puppet servant with him," Emperor Lord Jiu Feng said. "It's certain that he's not at the Ultimate Realm, nor does he possess any powerful spacetime-related treasures, which is why I was able to detect him. But his strength must be terrifying."

"It is quite extraordinary." The Di Fu looked at the figure in Black Robe and a golden mask, and the faint sense of terror emanating from him was enough to make even an emperor or monarch feel uneasy.

"I wonder where this powerful figure came from." Emperor Lord Jiu Feng shook his head. "He gives me the feeling that he is even more terrifying than the five Earth God Kings."

Di Fu nodded. "There are quite a few beings on the Origin Continent who have reached the peak of the God King Second Realm. They just lack resources. Perhaps one of them... obtained the resources, and thus took that step."

"Judging from his killing of the Heaven Kun Country Lord, he should be skilled in soul-based or will-based methods," Emperor Lord Jiu Feng said. "In other words, he can probably kill anyone below the level of Emperor or Monarch in an instant. He is far more terrifying than the five Earth God Kings."

"Hmm." Di Fu nodded. "He's acting in secrecy, so he probably doesn't want to openly fight against the Two Great Ancient Nations yet."

"Di Fu, can you deduce the secrets of heaven and find out his identity?" Emperor Lord Jiu Feng asked.

"We can't find anything." Di Fu shook his head. "Deducing the secrets of heaven requires a lot of information. We have too little information about this mysterious expert."

Emperor Lord Jiu Feng nodded slightly.

"Our Yan Feng Ancient Nation tried every means, but we couldn't kill the Mother River Master. I feel that this mysterious powerhouse is even more troublesome than the Mother River Master. Even the Two Great Ancient Nations might not be able to deal with him." Di Fu laughed, "It might be a good thing that we can't find out his identity."

"Just because the Mother River Master could escape doesn't mean this one can escape too," Emperor Lord Jiu Feng said.

Di Fu didn't say anything more.

Emperor Lord Jiu Feng immediately left.

"Who are you?"

Di Fu looked at the figure in Black Robe and a golden mask before him with great curiosity. "Is it Pu Xin? Is it Luo He? Or Emperor Lord Ming?"

This mysterious powerful figure left very few traces, but there aren't many beings on the Origin Continent who could potentially reach this level in terms of soul or willpower. Based on various deductions, there are indeed three suspects for Di Fu.

Pu Xin, a mysterious and low-key God King Second Realm, rarely participates in conflicts, only occasionally taking on disciples in the illusionary realm. Among his disciples are two God King Second Realm, one of whom is God King Wu Xin.

Luo He, at the Chaos Realm stage, possessed the God King Ultimate Realm, and Di Fu had been observing Luo He along.

Emperor Lord Ming... As the one with the highest achievement in willpower on the Origin Continent, the power of his will had long reached the upper limit set by the Supreme Rules. Moreover, he had also received the inheritance left by Yuan, and he had always been obsessed with studying 'Calamity Beast' and had also studied the images of other Primal Chaos Lifeform. It was also very easy for him to fake some of the terror of Primal Chaos Lifeform.

"Who exactly is it? Pu Xin, you've been holding back for so long, are you finally going to make your move?" Di Fu curiously. "Is it the terrifyingly powerful Luo He? Or perhaps the terrifying 'Emperor Lord Ming' that even I can't predict?"

Di Fu was never surprised by anything Emperor Lord Ming did.

Even if Emperor Lord Ming completely killed seven or eight emperors, causing a bloodbath throughout the Origin Continent, Di Fu would still find it normal. Because this was very much in line with Emperor Lord Ming's nature.

The Emperor Lord Ming and the Calamity Beast look very similar!

Once they turn against you, they'll kill all your comrades too!

Huyang City, the City Lord's Mansion.

Luo Feng had been ordering detailed information about the 'Heaven Kun Country Lord' from the Yan Feng Pavilion for a long time, and he had received the information at this moment, but this piece of information was relatively expensive.

"Yan Feng Pavilion, have you found out who killed the Heaven Kun Country Lord?" Luo Feng carefully examined the intelligence.

The intelligence report included a video clip.

A long-haired man in Black Robe and gold mask, and an old man who is also a puppet.

"An unknown, mysterious powerhouse? With a puppet?" Luo Feng laughed. The Formless and Faceless transformation was indeed difficult to decipher within the scope of the Supreme Rules.

"The detailed cause of death of the Heaven Kun Country Lord requires an additional ten billion Universe Sand?" Luo Feng did not purchase any more. He knew very well that since the other party could find his image, they should know that the Heaven Kun Country Lord's body was intact.

It can be inferred that this is an attack targeting the soul and mind.

"Luo He, Luo He!" the Yu Shui Country Lord sent a message, "You know about the death of the Heaven Kun Country Lord, right?"

"Of course I know," Luo Feng replied.

"The Yan Feng Pavilion and the Thunder Merchant Guild have openly sold information, claiming that a soul-type or will-type attack killed the Heaven Kun Country Lord. The Heaven Kun Country Lord probably hasn't been able to reincarnate." The Yu Shui Country Lord excitedly sent a message, "This mysterious powerhouse can probably kill anyone below the level of Emperor or Monarch in an instant."

"Brother Yu Shui, you seem a bit gloating," Luo Feng said.

"The progenitors of the two nations, the Eastern Domain Progenitor, Emperor Qing, the WanJie Kingdom Master, the World Beast, and Emperor Lord Ming — the Origin Continent already had several capable of instantly annihilating us. One more won't make a difference," the Yu Shui Country Lord laughed. "I'm happy because Heaven Kun is completely dead, probably unable to reincarnate. It's truly exhilarating!"

The Food Country and the Yu Country are neighbors, and the Heaven Kun Country Lord and the Yu Shui Country Lord have been fighting for too long.

"Luo He, your territory borders the Food Country, which is currently without a ruler. You could take this opportunity to seize the entire Food Country!" the Yu Shui Country Lord transmitted telepathically. "I will definitely support you wholeheartedly!"
