Death Crisis

"One of my entire team was killed; not a single one escaped." One of the nine terrifying Frost Soul Watcher spoke up. "The Xing Zhe this time were quite strong."

"The attack on our territory was reported long ago. I believe that a leader is already tracking it down."

The number of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform is enormous, so they wouldn't care too much if the outermost perimeter was attacked. This is because the outermost area is too vast, making it too difficult to hunt down those Xing Zhe.

However, if the heartland is attacked, the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform forms will soon send forces from all sides to hunt them down.

"These Xing Zhe are few in number and weak in strength. If it weren't for the protection of the city, we would have devoured them all long ago."

"They can hide inside the city and occasionally come out to launch surprise attacks." These Frost Soul Watcher were quite dissatisfied.

In terms of overall strength, the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform are far stronger than the Xing Zhe.

However, with the protection of a city, one can cultivate in peace and use it as sustenance.

"It would be great if we could conquer another city. Then we could devour those Xing Zhe to our hearts' content."

"Yes, I heard that when we conquered 'Bei Yang City' last time, the people of our clan in the Bei Yang City had a feast. There Xing Zhe that were rarely seen in the city. There were hundreds of millions of them in the city."

"Unfortunately, breaching the city walls is too difficult."

The thirty-five cities of the Nine Rivers Holy World require applying for city construction by spending 'merit points'. These cities are vast city treasures exchanged for merit points, and are jointly controlled by the palace masters and elders, making them extremely safe.

Even if the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform are strong, they are difficult to break through head-on.

Only through a combined effort from both inside and outside can we hope to break through.

Every time a city is breached, it is a terrible catastrophe for that city.

The Yuans already favored Xing Zhe in establishing the 'Nine Rivers Holy World,' a place designed to hone the next generation. If, under such circumstances, the Xing Zhe's cities were still breached, it could only be attributed to the Xing Zhe' own incompetence.

"Call."

The Nine-Headed Frost Soul Watcher chatted briefly while simultaneously piloting a cloud formation, flying at supersonic speeds and surveying the surrounding area.

"Wild Hoof Leader, one 'God Emperor Late-Stage Blood Demon E Li Si' and fifteen 'God Emperor Mid-Stage Frost Soul Watcher' have been killed in your territory. It is suspected that some elders have entered the heartland to begin hunting." A message was relayed.

"Knew."

A terrifying Thunder shot out from the vast river, its entire body bathed in the Thunder, and it immediately began to survey its territory.

The elders' hunting grounds are very close to Jiuhe.

"Come to my territory to hunt." The terrifying figure amidst the Thunder moved through the void at an extremely fast speed.

The vast area surrounding Rain Ripple City is home to many Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform forms, including the 'Primal Chaos Wild Hoof' race, which is relatively small in number but generally possesses formidable individual strength.

Among the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Race, there is only one person in the vicinity of Rain Ripple City who has reached the God Emperor Completion-Level, and naturally, he is the leader of the clan.

The number of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform at the ' God Emperor Completion-Level is still very small.

There are likely several God Emperor Completion-Level among the large races like the Frost Soul Watcher around Rain Ripple City.

However, most races may only have one God Emperor Completion-Level. Or they may not have any God Emperor Completion-Level.

The so-called 'Elder Hunting Area', as the heartland of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform, is divided into territories, each overseen by a leader. This is also the greatest danger of Elder Hunting.

After all, these Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform are also highly intelligent. They wouldn't be so foolish as to let themselves be hunted.

Killing even one person in the heartland will trigger a search.

Inside the Black Flying Boat.

"We killed fifteen Frost Soul Watcher at the God Emperor Mid-Stage, and none of them escaped." Emperor Qing was extremely excited. "In terms of value, this group of Frost Soul Watcher is slightly more valuable than the Blood Demon E Li Si from before."

Luo Feng nodded.

The Blood Demon E Li Si, God Emperor Late-Stage, possesses extremely high value due to its potent poison. Therefore, its corpse can fetch around 150 million Primal Chaos Crystal. Considering its merits are also worth 10 million merit points, the total price is approximately 160 million Primal Chaos Crystal.

Fifteen Frost Soul Watcher, including their merits, should fetch around 190 million Primal Chaos Crystal.

"We can probably head back now," Luo Feng said. "My original plan was to kill two God Emperor Late-Stage prey and then return. Now it's about time."

"We should be cautious." Emperor Qing nodded. "The Elder Hunting Area is the heartland of the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform forms' activity range, and there are too many powerful beings there."

They encountered prey twice.

One instance was the God Emperor Late-Stage Blood Demon E Li Si, and the other was a team of Frost Soul Watcher. This demonstrates the sheer number and strength of the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform forms in the heartland region.

"Call."

After the two sides made their decision, Emperor Qing immediately piloted the Black Flying Boat and carefully began to return, heading towards Rain Ripple City.

Luo Feng looked around.

"My strength is still a bit too dangerous in the Elder Hunting Area," Luo Feng thought to himself.

The elders only dared to come occasionally, partly because they were acting in clones, and partly because they wouldn't bring extremely precious treasures like the 'Undying Heart' or the 'Palm World'. So even if their clones died in battle, they wouldn't feel any regret.

Luo Feng was naturally more cautious, as he was carrying two treasures.

"When my strength improves further, it will be suitable for me to hunt in the heartland more often," Luo Feng thought.

If the Life-Death Path were to advance further, reaching the God Emperor Mid-Stage!

As Fusion Path, the 'God Emperor Mid-Stage's Life-Death Path' should be comparable to the God Emperor Completion-Level of ordinary paths! At that time, my strength should be at the level of a Palace Master. As long as I don't go into the interior of the Nine Rivers, my safety level is still very high.

"However, I have been in Rain Ripple City for nine hundred years, Life-Death Path is only at the God Emperor Early-Stage. To reach the God Emperor Mid-Stage, I will encounter even greater obstacles, and I estimate that it will take a long time," Luo Feng thought.

My current spiritual practice is going quite smoothly, and I haven't encountered any bottlenecks.

It is painful for some Xing Zhe to be stuck at a bottleneck and unable to make any further progress.

"I should follow what Senior Yuan and the others said and not look at the inheritances of other Xing Zhe. I should rely entirely on my own exploration so that every step is solid enough." Luo Feng thought to himself that he had not purchased any 'Half Primal Chaos inheritance' so far.

If one is like a blank sheet of paper, reading the teachings of other Xing Zhe will only pollute one's own path.

It all comes down to self-exploration! Every bit of accumulation comes from a clear understanding of the essence, and that's what makes it solid.

"Luo Feng is too strong."

While Luo Feng was contemplating cultivation, Emperor Qing, standing beside him, was still awestruck by the harvest. "To have such a harvest in the Elder Hunting Area, one should be considered a relatively strong Elder nowadays."

"If this continues, it won't be long before he reaches the level of the Three Hall Masters," Emperor Qing thought. "Perhaps the entire landscape of Rain Ripple City will be changed because of Brother Luo Feng."

"No... With Brother Luo Feng's talent, he might not even look down on Rain Ripple City."

Emperor Qing had mixed feelings.

In his eyes, the Three Hall Masters of Rain Ripple City were high and mighty! Perhaps Brother Luo Feng didn't even care much about them.

Call!

They each had their own thoughts, and the Black Flying Boat flew at supersonic speed.

Suddenly--

A terrifying Thunder appeared in the distance, gazing down upon us.

"Huh?" Luo Feng and Emperor Qing were both startled, neither of them daring to be distracted and think too much.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Emperor Qing stared incredulously at the terrifying Thunder in the distance. The sheer terror of that aura was enough to send chills down Emperor Qing just by looking at it from afar. It was an aura that far surpassed that of the Blood Demon E Li Si.

Luo Feng also stared into the distance.

A strong sense of threat was the Unseen reminding Luo Feng, causing Luo Feng very soul to tremble.

"The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Race... a being at the God Emperor Completion-Level." Luo Feng's soul trembled. Such a terrifying aura was undoubtedly at the God Emperor Completion-Level. "It should be the leader of the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Race."

As a small race, there should only be one God Emperor Completion-Level around Rain Ripple City, who is naturally their leader.

The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof appears entirely black at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it subtly tinges with a deep blue. Its body is covered in layers of scales, and it is enormous, with a sharp, curved horn on each side of its head.

Its Thunder eyes looked at Luo Feng and Emperor Qing, which made them both tremble with fear.

"Brother Luo Feng." Emperor Qing knew something was wrong.

"You should hide first, I need to find a way to escape." Luo Feng instantly put away the Emperor Qing and the Black Flying Boat.

Luo Feng never thought he could defeat his opponent.

His only thought was to escape!

"God Emperor Completion-Level, and from the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Race!" Luo Feng knew this was the greatest threat he had faced since arriving in the Nine Rivers Holy World.

There are many races of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform, each with different talents. For example, the Frost Soul Watcher are jacks-of-all-trades but masters of none. The Blood Demon E Li Si is skilled in stealth and poison, but is only average in direct combat.

Primal Chaos Wild Hoof is different!

Its racial talent is extremely powerful! Among beings of the same level, it is considered one of the strongest.

In terms of physical body! Among Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform of the same level, it should be one of the most terrifying.

The three palace masters had all killed Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform at the 'God Emperor Completion-Level' in one-on-one combat. This was partly due to the fact that the three palace masters possessed sufficiently powerful treasures, and partly due to their ability to counter their opponents.

If they were to encounter a 'God Emperor Completion-Level Primal Chaos Wild Hoof', even the three Palace Masters would likely be helpless.

"How dare you hunt in my territory." A deep voice echoed throughout the vast void. The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader looked coldly at Luo Feng, "You are Newly Advanced Elder of Rain Ripple City? Your clone is not leaving."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Boom!!!

Terrifying azure Thunder suddenly condensed in the vast void around them, and the azure Thunder struck Luo Feng directly.

The Thunder came too fast; Luo Feng had nowhere to hide.

"Bang!!!"

The Thunder struck Luo Feng.

Luo Feng possessed the 'Undying Heart' within him, which greatly enhanced the resilience and defensive capabilities of his Undying Blood Sea Body, giving it an undying quality. Having taken a direct hit from this terrifying Thunder, Luo Feng was slightly dazed, but his body withstood the attack.

"Undying Heart, truly indestructible, incredibly resilient." Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief. If it could withstand the long-range Thunder attack, then he had a chance to escape.

"Um?"

The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader in the distance was somewhat surprised, and then it moved.

Boom!

It moved!

The terrifying figure bathed in Thunder pierced through the heavens and earth in an instant, tearing the world apart! Even the aftershocks caused the surrounding billions of kilometers of heaven and earth to begin to crack layer by layer, revealing the blurry, illusory images of secret patterns on the outermost edge.

Despite Luo Feng's best efforts to dodge amidst the distorted and torn sky, the terrifying figure was already upon him!
