Volume Seven: Luo Feng Battles Sky Crane Elder

Luo Feng and Sky Crane Elder looked at each other from afar.

Mist Fang God Emperor immediately and quietly returned to the city, and Emperor Qing, who was beside him, also returned to the city with the Grand Void Dark Pupil Ship. Sky Crane Elder did not stop them, after all, his target was Luo Feng.

"Sky Crane Elder." Luo Feng looked at the other party. Sky Crane Elder was dressed in a white robe, with a handsome appearance and skin like crystal jade. He was also protected by a thin layer of halo, and his aura was restrained and ordinary.

"I thought some elder was going to challenge me," Sky Crane Elder chuckled softly. "Now I realize you're just a junior who recently broke through. Is this the confidence you have to disrespect me?"

Why should I give you face?

Luo Feng feigned surprise, "Are you one of the three Palace Masters, or the Master of Strange Workshop?"

At this moment, around the east gate of Yulan City, there were guards, some members of the Ghost Workshop, and some cultivators watching. In fact, the number of cultivators watching was rapidly increasing.

"A clash at the level of the elders."

"The fight is about to begin right East City Gate!" Upon receiving the news, many Xing Zhe were quite excited and came to watch the battle.

Clashes among the elders of Rain Ripple City are quite rare, and having the opportunity to 'observe' them is even more precious.

"On one side is Sky Crane Elder, one of the eight deputy directors of the Strange Workshop! To be able to serve as Strange Workshop Vice-Master... he must be extraordinary. On the other side is God Emperor Luo Feng, who is not very famous. He only killed the Strange Workshop's Plunder Squad. He should be a newly promoted elder."

"Sky Crane Elder has accumulated a very deep foundation, while Luo Feng's foundation is much shallower."

The spectators whispered among themselves in discussion.

They were all within the territory of Rain Ripple City, protected by layers of city defenses, so they had no worries about being affected and could comfortably watch the battle.

Outside the East City Gate, only Luo Feng and Sky Crane Elder were present! No other Xing Zhe dared to step out of the East City Gate.

"A Newly Advanced Elder, yet so confident." Sky Crane Elder wasn't angry at all. "Let me guess, you obtained a powerful secret treasure? Is that why you feel so confident?"

Luo Feng looked at the other person.

"You're too young and inexperienced."

Sky Crane Elder gently shook his head, "If you were to venture into the Dark Holy World, you would realize that your little bit of fortuitous opportunity is insignificant in the Dark Holy World."

The Dark Holy World is a gathering place for the strongest Xing Zhe from countless worlds, including many with dazzling talents, and quite a few who are qualified to receive treasures worth over 100,000 Reward Points from the Infinite Space Treasure Trove.

"The Dark Holy World is indeed a gathering place for countless powerful individuals. But Sky Crane Elder, what are you in the Dark Holy World?" Luo Feng looked at him.

"I've spent a long time in the Dark Holy World and have made some progress." Sky Crane Elder smiled at Luo Feng. "Although it's nothing in the Dark Holy World, I can still teach you a thing or two."

"Bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve," Luo Feng said, looking at his opponent.

Sky Crane Elder casually extended a finger, and a point of light shone from the tip. This point of light rapidly expanded, instantly covering billions of kilometers around, transforming into a massive array.

Within the array's range, illusory gray birds began to emerge.

Before making his move, Luo Feng had already gathered intelligence on his opponent, knowing that Sky Crane Elder was extremely well-versed in various techniques. 'Array diagrams' were one of Sky Crane Elder's specialties.

Sky Crane Elder is skilled in crafting array diagrams and Dao Soldier, possessing profound expertise in these areas.

Luo Feng stood there, and in the blink of an eye, a Boundless Blood Sea surged beneath his feet. At the same time, the Profound Azure Sky Extinction Diagram within his body began to operate, and the Boundless Blood Sea naturally began to form an array.

Accompanied by piercing cries, illusory gray birds streaked across the void and swooped down on Luo Feng, as well as the Boundless Blood Sea.

"Whoosh—"

Each illusory gray bird was like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through part of the blood wave, and then finally annihilated under the erosion and envelopment of the blood wave.

"Your Movement Method is quite interesting; it's comparable to Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform in the God Emperor Late-Stage," Sky Crane Elder laughed, as the power of the entire formation was mobilized and condensed into a huge gray flying bird.

This enormous gray bird was terrifying in its power, and Luo Feng also vaguely felt threatened.

"Yo!"

A piercing cry echoed through the sky as the enormous gray bird moved with incredible speed, instantly lunging at Luo Feng's body.

"Mystic Azure Sky, Heaven and Earth in One Line!"

The formation condensed into a beam of light that symbolized life and death, instantly meeting the attack and forcefully piercing through the body of the enormous gray bird, causing it to become illusory and distorted.

"Is that all you've got?" Luo Feng stood there. "Sky Crane Elder, where are your Dao Soldier? Where are your close combat techniques? Show me your moves."

"A Dao Soldier condensed from pure energy is indeed a bit weak." Sky Crane Elder looked at this scene. "I have brought hundreds of refined Dao Soldier with me today. Why don't you give them a try?"

With a wave of his hand.

Instead, one after another, wooden bird sculptures flew out. These sculptures quickly grew larger after they flew out, each one possessing an imposing presence no less than the enormous gray bird from before.

"Hundreds of Dao Soldier?" Luo Feng looked at them solemnly. He could sense the power of these wooden bird sculptures. These Dao Soldier seemed a bit clumsy, but their power was quite strong, as if they were 'God Emperor Late-Stage bloodline Xing Zhe'. However, hundreds of them added together were extremely terrifying.

"Boom!!!"

The hundreds of Dao Soldiers, commanded by an array, created a natural and imposing Military Formation that made Luo Feng feel uneasy.

"It's even more powerful than I expected," Luo Feng thought to himself. When hundreds of enormous flying birds charged out at the same time, it was as if a huge Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform group was charging towards them. Luo Feng instinctively used the 'Undying Heart' immediately. With the Undying Heart as the core, countless veins spread out, rapidly spreading throughout the entire Boundless Blood Sea.

Luo Feng had a premonition that without the Undying Heart, his Undying Blood Sea Body would be severely damaged under the attack of hundreds of Dao Soldiers.

My energy reserves are only a little over two hundred Perfect Divine Body, so I can't afford to waste them so carelessly.

"Boom!"

Hundreds of enormous flying beasts, coordinated by an array, combined their power into one, causing the Xing Zhe watching from the sidelines in Rain Ripple City to tremble with fear.

Suddenly, a massive blood wave, hundreds of millions of kilometers high, surged forth, its peaks blocking the path of these enormous birds. Without hesitation, the flock of birds charged straight at it, instantly crushing countless waves of blood.

However, the power of these birds is also rapidly declining.

"The Undying Blood Sea Body, enhanced by the Undying Heart, only increases in power by a few times. However, its defense increases by dozens of times. Even a full-force stomp from the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader only depleted two percent of my energy reserves. These Dao Soldier' attacks cannot harm me at all."

Before the Primal Chaos Wild Hoof Leader, Luo Feng dared not call himself 'indestructible'. But against opponents of the same level, Luo Feng's 'indestructibility' was truly deserved.

"Boom!"

The two sides clashed.

Under the command of the formation, hundreds of Dao Soldier charged forward like thunderbolts, condensed into a sword, or converged like a giant axe... The power of the Dao Soldier was indeed terrifying.

"How is that possible?" Sky Crane Elder frowned. "I released these Dao Soldiers, yet I couldn't force him to use that colossal claw."

He remembered clearly that what crushed Fog Tooth in one move was a super-giant, hairy claw.

"He still concealed his strength in front of my Dao Soldier Formation?" Sky Crane Elder couldn't believe it.

The Dao Soldier formation is one of his standard tactics.

He's usually too lazy to fight, and can easily deal with enemies by simply releasing some Dao Soldier.

"Crack."

With the blessing of the Undying Heart, the power of the Mystic Azure Sky Extinction Formation also increased greatly. The Boundless Blood Sea rampaged and finally the wooden carved birds began to shatter.

These birds were personally carved by Sky Crane Elder and incorporated into the array diagrams to create Dao Soldier.

More and more Xing Zhe from various factions gathered in Rain Ripple City to watch the battle.

"Sky Crane Elder's hundreds of Dao Soldiers, using a combined formation, are actually at a disadvantage?"

"This Luo Feng, a newly broken through elder level, is this strong?"

Everyone was somewhat surprised.

"Sky Crane Elder is probably going to use real methods."

"I guess we'll have to go all out."

The spectators were very excited.

Sky Crane Elder stood there, casually beckoning, and hundreds of Dao Soldiers in the distance flew back, which he then easily put away.

"No wonder you're so confident," Sky Crane Elder laughed. "You blocked my Dao Soldier Formation so easily! I underestimated you."

Luo Feng looked at the other person.

He knew very well that in order to prevent the Undying Blood Sea Body from suffering too much damage, he had already used the Undying Heart in front of the Dao Soldier Formation.

"The fundamental path of my long cultivation is the 'Path of Array Diagrams,' and I use array diagrams to forge Dao Soldier." Sky Crane Elder sighed, "These Dao Soldier are the foundation upon which I have grown from weakness to strength over countless years."

"But as Enlightenment Seeker, I have reached the God Emperor Late-Stage cultivation, but I have hit a bottleneck and can't reach perfection no matter what I do. I realize that I must have taken the wrong path when I was groping forward in the dark."

Sky Crane Elder looked at Luo Feng, "In the Dark Holy World, I learned the various inheritances of other Xing Zhe. I learned at least a hundred inheritances, absorbing their essence and integrating them into myself..."

"Although I have learned many techniques, I have never been able to achieve perfection."

Sky Crane Elder laughed, "By the way, strictly speaking, the 'Primal Chaos Bloodline Path' that I cultivated later was perfected. This path is the simplest."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Sky Crane Elder no longer held back, his terrifying aura erupting completely, sweeping across all directions. Silver runes began to appear on the surface of his skin.

"The Primal Chaos Bloodline, at the Half Primal Chaos level?" Luo Feng looked at the other party.

Luo Feng understood that if one cultivated both Bloodline Route, the will of the bloodline would pollute one's own will, and even the mysteries within the bloodline would merge with the mysteries of one's own enlightenment, which would also be a form of pollution of the Dao.

Therefore, once the lineage of those Enlightenment Seeker integrates the Primal Chaos Bloodline into their bodies, their hopes for further progress in the path of enlightenment become slim. From then on, they generally focus on the Bloodline Route.

"In the Dark Holy World, I exchanged my Merit Points merits for a High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform Lifebloodline." Sky Crane Elder looked at Luo Feng. "I integrated it into my physical body, making it the foundation of my bloodline cultivation. I explored its potential and cultivated the Eternal Night Dark Kite Body. Furthermore, for this bloodline body, I also created a set of techniques called 'Eternal Night Battle Art'."

Sky Crane Elder stood there, his silver-gray aura sweeping across the heavens and earth, his power terrifying, and his invisible will impacting the world.
