Volume Seven: Newly Advanced Elder Luo Feng

Luo Feng, piloting the Grand Void Dark Pupil Ship, dared not relax for a moment, giving his all to control the vessel.

There are so many flying ship-type treasures in Rain Ripple City, but Luo Feng chose the 'Grand Void Dark Pupil Ship' because the mysterious patterns of this ship follow a similar path to the 'Life-Death Eye'.

The ship was crafted from several Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform from the 'Void Lineage,' making the ship and the void perfectly compatible.

"With the spaceship's 'Dark Eyes,' we can see the composition of this void more clearly." Luo Feng piloted the flying boat, nimbly traversing the void, where ordinary methods could no longer detect its traces.

The creator of this flying boat was an existence who had reached the Half Primal Chaos level in Path of Destruction, a realm far higher than Luo Feng's current level. Even if Luo Feng exerted all his strength, he could only utilize about 50-60% of the flying boat's capabilities.

"Call--"

While surveying his surroundings, Luo Feng pressed on with all his might to keep moving forward.

"We've completely flown out of the Elder Hunting Area." Luo Feng still didn't dare to relax. He was worried that the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader was still tracking him, so he flew for a long time until he had completely flown out of the regular hunting area before he could relax.

"The Grand Void Dark Pupil Ship can conceal all aura fluctuations. It's even more powerful than my own methods of concealing my life force." Luo Feng smiled.

"The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader is too powerful; I can't defeat him at all. If he sees through my feigned death Secret Method, this clone will die there completely, and the Undying Heart and the Palm World will be lost there," Luo Feng thought to himself.

Losing these two treasures would be a huge loss.

Luo Feng was too confident.

The perfected Undying Blood Sea Body is considered a powerful Secret Method even among elders. With two secret treasures, Luo Feng felt confident that he could escape even from a Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform at the peak of the God Emperor Completion. That's why he dared to try his luck in the Elder Hunting Area. Who would have thought he would encounter the 'Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader'?

"The Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader is not the strongest among the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform," Luo Feng thought. "There are even more powerful Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform in the Nine Rivers Holy World, known as 'Overlimit-Level'! If I encounter Overlimit-Level, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to resist, and I'll probably be gone in a single encounter."

Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform Materials of the Overlimit-Level are generally transported from the Dark Holy World.

After all, in the Dark Holy World, Overlimit-Level are common! All sorts of strange, powerful, and even rare species of 'Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform' are kept there. They clash with the strongest Xing Zhe selected from countless worlds!

Nine Rivers Holy World...

Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform at the God Emperor Completion-Level are rare; those at the Overlimit-Level are legendary.

"I thought I was cautious enough, but I was still careless." Luo Feng thought to himself, "This time when I return to Rain Ripple City, I must make good use of the spoils of war to improve my strength in all aspects."

Luo Feng then released Emperor Qing as well.

After Emperor Qing came out, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Luo Feng, and then laughed, "Brother Luo Feng, I was worried the whole time that you would be killed by the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader."

"There's no way to fight the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader," Luo Feng shook his head. "I could only try my best to escape. I managed to escape with my life thanks to a Secret Method, but I also suffered considerable losses."

My body only has a little over 20% of its energy reserves left.

All other energy reserves were consumed during the fighting and escape.

"Being able to escape is already something to be proud of," Emperor Qing said. "According to the intelligence, only the three Palace Masters have the strength to confront the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader the God Emperor Completion-Level head-on. All other elders have to run for their lives when they encounter it, and most of them can't even escape."

Luo Feng nodded.

With the blessing of the 'Undying Heart' and its own abundant energy, the Undying Blood Sea Body only had a little over 20% of its energy reserves left after just a few moves.

"You're right. It's already quite an achievement that we managed to escape," Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Where are we now?" Emperor Qing looked out at the vast world.

"We've already flown out of the normal hunting area, and it won't be long before we reach Rain Ripple City," Luo Feng said.

Emperor Qing's expression changed slightly. "Brother Luo Feng, we were followed when we left Rain Ripple City! You dealt with the pursuers back then, but now that we're returning to Rain Ripple City, the Strange Workshop might be lying in ambush."

Luo Feng nodded.

Sky Crane Elder wanted to establish his authority by targeting him, and he had already killed the pursuer he sent. Sky Crane Elder's murderous intent was probably even stronger!

"The closer we get to Rain Ripple City, the more likely we are to be ambushed." Luo Feng nodded. "If Sky Crane Elder wants to establish his authority by taking me down, he can only do so outside the city."

When fighting within the city, it's usually done using Secret Method to ambush without leaving a trace.

A direct confrontation? That's only possible outside the city. Unless we're prepared to turn against the entire Council of Elders.

The three hall masters and more than three hundred elders of the Council of Elders control the entire city's formation! If they work together, even a 'low-level Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform Overlimit-Level's would lose its life.

The rules of the city are the foundation upon which the three palace masters and elders continuously obtain enormous profits, so of course they will not break the rules.

"Brother Luo Feng, how do you plan to deal with this?" Emperor Qing asked Luo Feng.

"Then let's have a fair fight!" Luo Feng grinned. "He wants to use me to establish his authority, and I'll just use him as a stepping stone!"

Hunting is not the only way to earn resources.

When their strength is sufficient, such as those at the elder level, they hunt very infrequently. Their primary way of earning resources is through various normal gains within the city.

"Once I am strong enough, I can at least have some soup from the vast resources of Rain Ripple City, even if I can't eat meat."

In the early stages of one's growth, one naturally needs to find ways to acquire various resources.

"My current strength is somewhat inferior to my peak condition," Luo Feng frowned slightly.

His Undying Blood Sea Body's strength increases with the amount of energy it stores, but it's not unlimited; reaching 'Five Hundred Times Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve' is its peak state.

Even if there is more energy stored, it is only a little more stored, and the power of the burst is no longer increased.

With a hundred times the Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve, one can unleash approximately 50% of their strength.

With Perfect Divine Body two hundred times stronger, one can unleash nearly 80% of their power.

With Perfect Divine Body three hundred times stronger, he could unleash approximately ninety percent of his power.

The higher you go, the smaller the increase becomes.

Five hundred times, unleashing ten times the strength.

"I can exert 80% of my strength right now," Luo Feng thought. "That should be enough to face Sky Crane Elder! If all else fails, I can send another clone from Rain Ripple City over."

He cultivates on the Origin Continent, and every time he comes to the Nine Rivers Holy World, he brings with him a sufficient energy reserve.

As time went on, the energy absorption speed of Luo Feng's various clones also increased, becoming quite close to the absorption speed of the Small Universe.

Not far from the East City Gate of Rain Ripple City, a massive, Shadow Deception Grand Formation had long been set up, patiently waiting for Luo Feng to walk right into its trap.

"Luo Feng Emperor Qing went out hunting, they should be back soon." The three clones of the Mist Fang God Emperor dispersed and, with the help of the array diagram, cast the Shadow Deception Grand Formation, covering a wide area.

"Sky Crane Elder originally dispatched four Plundering Team to set up the Shadow Deception Grand Formation to guard the four city gates." Mist Fang God Emperor shook his head slightly. "Who would have thought that after they heard that one of my clones had been crushed to death, and found out that... Luo Feng might have an elder behind him, none of them were willing to seal the city gates anymore."

The vast majority of the members of the Plundering Team were not powerful figures from the Source World; they each possessed only one true form.

They joined the Strange Workshop for resources, not to die.

Knowing that this matter involved a conflict between two elders, none of the four Plundering Team were willing to take the risk. Sky Crane Elder couldn't force them either. Even if the three palace masters personally gave the order, the Xing Zhe in the city probably wouldn't listen to such a suicidal act.

In the end, Sky Crane Elder could only invite four powerful beings from the Source World to set up the formation in the Strange Workshop.

Mist Fang God Emperor was one of them!

The powerful beings of the Source World only send out avatars to set up formations. As long as the conditions are good enough, they are willing to do so.

"Call."

The Shadow Deception Grand Formation is large enough and close to the city gate, completely sealing off the vast area East City Gate! To enter the East City Gate, one must enter this Shadow Deception Grand Formation.

If it were any other Xing Zhe, the Shadow Deception Grand Formation would not stand in their way.

The Shadow Deception Grand Formation has only lasted for a few days. In such a short time, given the hunting frequency of the teams within Rain Ripple City, Mist Fang God Emperor has not encountered a single hunting team since setting up the formation.

"Hmm?" Mist Fang God Emperor suddenly looked into the distance.

A ship had already entered the range of the Shadow Deception Grand Formation. Enveloped by the array, it instantly sensed two familiar life auras.

"Fog Tooth, it's you again?" Luo Feng out of the Grand Void Dark Pupil Ship.

Fog Tooth looked at Luo Feng from afar and said, "Luo Feng, hurry up and have the elders protecting you show themselves."

"An elder who protects me?" Luo Feng was surprised. He instantly understood that the Strange Workshop did not believe that Luo Feng and Emperor Qing could reach the level of elder in a short time, and thought that they had invited an elder expert.

Luo Feng chuckled, "No elders protected me. Back then, it was I who crushed you with one claw."

Fog Tooth was taken aback.

"I won't kill you. You should quickly tell Tian He to come over," Luo Feng said. "If he doesn't come, I'm going into the city."

Seeing that Fog Tooth had set up this formation to try and stop him, Luo Feng instantly judged that Fog Tooth, this powerful being from the Source World, was probably prepared to die this time and wouldn't bring a single valuable treasure with him.

Luo Feng naturally didn't bother to waste his energy dealing with Fog Tooth.

"You want Sky Crane Elder to come over?" Fog Tooth looked at Luo Feng and nodded. "Okay, Sky Crane Elder will be here soon."

A cave abode near the East City Gate.

Sky Crane Elder lived here, and in his opinion, if that elder cared about his reputation, he would definitely return through the East City Gate.

"Um?"

Sky Crane Elder was sitting there, leisurely carving, when he suddenly received a telepathic message from Fog Tooth.

"Luo Feng is that elder? And he wants me to go over there?" Sky Crane Elder was both amused and disappointed. "I thought he was an elder, but he's just a Newly Advanced Elder."

The Newly Advanced Elder, having just entered this level, have little experience, and the fighting spirit that the Sky Crane Elder had been looking forward to quickly faded.

"He crushed Fog Tooth with one claw; it seems he possesses a powerful secret treasure?"

"How arrogant! He just became an elder and obtained a powerful treasure. Does he think he can challenge me?" Sky Crane Elder stood up. "Fine, I'll use half my strength to destroy him."

With one step, Sky Crane Elder was already out of the cave abode. With another step, his figure blurred and he was already at the city gate, where he could see the black-haired man's figure in the Shadow Deception Grand Formation outside the city.

The black-haired man also looked over from afar.

"A Newly Advanced Elder." Sky Crane Elder shook his head slightly.
