Rain Ripple City Falls

After refining the City-Building Seal, Luo Feng returned to his cave abode Quiet Room and devoted himself to cultivation.

Although he still managed to maintain a sliver of his consciousness in control of the 'Life and Death Array' and dispatched clones to the core area to help intercept and kill the infiltrators, Luo Feng, currently wielding the 'Hundred Tribulations Marrow' and experiencing a three-thousand-fold increase in his thinking speed, remained focused on cultivation for over 99% of his mind.

"The Life-Death Fusion..."

Luo Feng was rapidly deducing and perfecting the plan in his mind.

However, as a fusion path, the current level it has reached is even more vast than ordinary 'Half Primal Chaos level paths'! The difficulty of pushing and integrating them to produce a qualitative change is terrifyingly high.

Fortunately, Luo Feng was already on the verge of breaking through, which gave him the courage to try and break through in a single day with the help of a treasure!

"It's too difficult to perfect it completely in one day! If I could have a few more days, I would be more confident." Luo Feng also knew that time was tight, and he could only improve it as quickly as possible.

Suddenly--

"Luo Feng, since you refined the City-Building Seal, Rain Ripple City has lost another 15 elders." The Hall Master Yuan Xiang was also somewhat helpless. "Rain Ripple City's defense system is about to collapse, and your formation also needs to help defend the city."

"Is it that serious?" Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Although the veteran teams joined forces, and Luo Feng and his group were also intercepting and killing the infiltrator teams, the 'Overlimit-Level Bewitching Heart Worm' and the five teams of their leaders continued to hunt down the veterans.

Their mental attacks naturally resulted in the complete annihilation of all of the Elder's avatars in the Nine Rivers Holy World.

"We must hold back the outside army! If we fail to do so and they break in, we're doomed," the Hall Master Yuan Xiang transmitted. "Your formation must also work together to defend against the attack."

"Okay." Luo Feng understood.

The army must be kept outside. Once it enters, it can quickly kill the elders one by one, causing the defenses of Rain Ripple City to collapse rapidly. At that point, the entire Rain Ripple City will be at the mercy of the slaughter.

"Buzz—"

With a single thought, Luo Feng controlled the Life and Death Array and began to reinforce the defenses of the entire Rain Ripple City.

Luo Feng's formation was equivalent to the combined strength of the formations of forty or fifty elders, which immediately relieved the defensive pressure on Rain Ripple City!

"The Palace Master's formation has also been forced to resist the army outside."

"The only way to deal with the infiltrators in the city is for the veterans to intercept and eliminate them."

The elders were also somewhat powerless.

"Hahaha..." The leader-level infiltrators were overjoyed to see the Life and Death Array resisting the outside world with all its might.

"All infiltrators, regroup and kill those elders!" The king's order was given again.

The eighteen elite infiltrator teams, which had been scattered and hidden, quickly assembled. With no formations targeting them in the sky, and possessing an absolute speed advantage over the veteran teams' ambush, they were naturally full of confidence.

They all sensed that victory was drawing ever closer.

"Kill."

The most ferocious creature in Rain Ripple City is the true form of that 'King'.

As a being Overlimit-Level, the King's strength is terrifying! With most of Rain Ripple City's defenses focused on resisting external legions, they are utterly powerless against this 'King'. Rain Ripple City can only try to stall for time!

The Unkillable King can attack again and again. Its techniques are too advanced. Even if the elders are careful and work together to defend, some will still be hit.

The efficiency with which the king killed the elders was comparable to the combined efforts of five leader teams.

Each leader's team consists of six leaders in their true forms working together! Without the three palace masters showing themselves and without any powerful formations attacking, they pose no threat to the leader's team.

"Stop!"

One of Luo Feng's patrolling clones instantly transformed into a sea of blood to intercept a leader's team.

"It's Luo Feng."

"We ignored him, but he came to us on his own initiative."

"Let's join forces and destroy him."

These leaders were also furious; they had no intention of wasting their time on someone who wasn't even an elder like Luo Feng. But alas... Luo Feng transformed into the Boundless Blood Sea, vast enough to engulf them in an instant.

"Extinguish—"

The six leaders each used their mental techniques.

This clone of Luo Feng did not possess the 'Undying Heart' or the 'Palm World'. However, as the city lord, Luo Feng could still mobilize the power of Rain Ripple City to protect himself, and he also used the 'Lie Yuan Art' to safeguard himself. As his cultivation level increased, his understanding of the 'Lie Yuan Art' also deepened.

"Boom--"

The six mental attacks, weakened by the power of Rain Ripple City, were withstood by Luo Feng.

Luo Feng felt various illusions enveloping him, confusing his perception. However, Secret Method to the Lie Yuan Art, Luo Feng remained 'conscious' and clearly remembered who he was!

"Even a six-headed Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform of the God Emperor Completion-Level can't do anything to me." Luo Feng was wary.

Even God Emperor Completion-Level possesses such formidable power.

What about Overlimit-Level? The impact on the mind would be a qualitative change.

"Get out of here—"

"Break!"

The six leaders could be real or illusory. When their mental attacks were blocked, they all transformed into real beings, unleashing terrifying physical power. The combined might of the six was far more terrifying than that of the Hall Master Wei Yang and the Hall Master Gai Tao Palace, instantly shattering the Boundless Blood Sea.

With a rumble, the six leaders escaped the Boundless Blood Sea and, not wanting to waste any more time, quickly departed.

"This Luo Feng must possess a powerful secret treasure. His mental defenses are quite strong, and his strength is probably among the top ten in Rain Ripple City," the leaders concluded.

They were naturally unaware that this was merely an ordinary clone of Luo Feng.

"These leaders' true forms all act in groups of six, which is indeed troublesome." Luo Feng watched them turn into illusions and quickly leave. "Even with the help of the Undying Heart and the Palm World, which increased my strength several times over, I can only fight them to a standstill at most."

"If I can't do anything to the leader-level team, the other elders can't either."

Luo Feng could already foresee what would happen next.

Many of the elders had foreseen this, but what could they do? They could only watch helplessly as it all unfolded.

The number of elders is decreasing, the resistance is weakening, and even the elders are finding it difficult to wipe out an elite infiltrator team.

"There are fewer and fewer veterans."

Within a large group of elders, the Master of Strange Workshop was the leader, and there were a total of seventeen elders, including the Pavilion Master Chang Qing.

They looked up at the sky! They could see that fifty or sixty of the defensive formations of Rain Ripple City were gone, and the remaining formations were finding it increasingly difficult to withstand attacks from the outside legions.

"Rain Ripple City could fall at any moment." The Master of Strange Workshop looked up. "The fighting has been going on for what seems like a long time, but in reality, less than half a day has passed. The Dark Holy World's rescue is simply not in time."

"The only variable now is the Palace Master."

"The Palace Master is, after all, Enlightenment Seeker has mastered two and Half Primal Chaos level Daos! Even if he is corrupted, he might still have some desperate methods." The Master of Strange Workshop thought, "If the Palace Master creates a miracle, Rain Ripple City might be able to delay until the rescue arrives."

Apart from the Hall Master Yuan Xiang, there is no hope to be seen in Rain Ripple City.

"Rain Ripple City".

Inside his ordinary cave abode in the outer city, the Hall Master Yuan Xiang Palace looked up and sighed softly, "The elders all expect me to have a solution, but I know very well that I have none left. Even that Life and Death Array is under Luo Feng's control."

"I have done my best."

"I'm sorry to the Xing Zhe of Rain Ripple City," sighed the Hall Master Yuan Xiang.

Boom—

Suddenly, all the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform Legions outside the city erupted! They had already sensed that the defense system of Rain Ripple City was on the verge of collapse, and now, under unified command, they all spared no effort to unleash their maximum power.

Even the four 'Kings' unleashed their full power.

The endless attacks instantly overwhelmed the defensive formation of Rain Ripple City, exceeding its capacity and creating a huge breach. A large number of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform above the city rushed into the breach almost instantly.

"Hahaha, the city has fallen!"

"The city has fallen!"

The Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform poured in frantically.

As they surged in, the elders of Rain Ripple City anxiously took control of the formation, doing everything in their power to intercept and kill them! Many of these Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform forms were God Emperor Early-Stage or God Emperor Mid-Stage. Under the overwhelming force of the formation, large numbers of these weaker, Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform perished.

"First, wipe out the elders of Rain Ripple City!"

"Kill those elders!"

A colossal, mountain-like, Overlimit-Level being charged into the city. At its command, it led over a thousand Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform at the ' God Emperor Completion-Level who had also stormed in, all rushing towards the core area of Rain Ripple City, intending to destroy the last resistance force of Rain Ripple City.

"Seal off Rain Ripple City! Don't let a single Xing Zhe escape!"

Legions were also ordered to blockade the area outside the city.

"It's over!"

"Rain Ripple City is finished!"

The elders watched this scene unfold.

The elders, having multiple identities, were able to face everything calmly. They simply felt that the city they had worked so hard to defend had ultimately fallen. On one hand, they had lost their accumulation within the city, and on the other hand, they felt a sense of defeat, as a 'massacre' was about to occur.

"No--"

"No, impossible—"

The hundreds of millions of Xing Zhe within the city were too weak to participate in the defense. Yet, they watched the war unfold with bated breath. But when Rain Ripple City's defenses crumbled, they all felt despair.

Over 99% of them are the real deal!

When someone dies, they are completely dead.

"How could Rain Ripple City have fallen?"

"Where are the three palace masters? How come they couldn't defend against it?" Many Xing Zhe couldn't accept this.

Some Xing Zhe, looking at the terrifyingly Overlimit-Level beings high in the sky, and at the leader-level beings, laughed, "Hahaha, I have cultivated to the point where I can even transcend my home world and gather here with the powerful beings of billions of worlds. Who would have thought that we would encounter such a great calamity, with hundreds of millions of Xing Zhe heading towards annihilation... This is the end of my cultivation path."

"The path of spiritual practice has come to this point." Many Xing Zhe face death with equanimity.

They were prepared to die from the moment they embarked on this path.

The day has finally arrived.

"The city has fallen."

Inside Luo Feng's cave abode, Emperor Qing, Emperor Lord Ming, and Di Fu all looked up.

Both Emperor Qing Di Fu possess the Clone Technique, but Emperor Lord Ming does not.

"Although I have something to protect myself, I'm afraid I can't escape under the blockade of the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform Legion." Emperor Lord Ming looked up at the sky. "I knew it was dangerous outside the Source World. I was prepared to die the day I left the Origin Continent, but I didn't expect it to come so soon!"

Emperor Qing and Di Fu both looked at Emperor Lord Ming.

There was nothing they could do.

"Why is Brother Luo Feng still in seclusion?" Di Qing looked in the direction of Luo Feng's meditation room. Based on his faint causal intuition, he was certain that one of Luo Feng's avatars was still in seclusion and had not come out.

The city has fallen, and they're still in seclusion?

Quiet Room.

As the city lord, Luo Feng naturally knew everything that was happening in Rain Ripple City. He saw that the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform Legion had already entered the city and that the 'slaughter' had begun!

"The city has fallen, but I still haven't broken through!" Luo Feng's eyes reddened.

At that moment, he was extremely anxious.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"It's too late!"

Having already endured a life-or-death ordeal after consuming the 'Hundred Tribulations Marrow,' his soul was in immense pain. Yet, under Luo Feng's intense will and overwhelming emotions, yearning for faster comprehension, and with his will infused into his power, boom—

The soul trembled and shook; at that moment, the pain vanished.

Luo Feng felt an extreme sense of comfort. His soul's thinking and comprehension were much faster than the original 'three thousand times the speed of thought', and his comprehension reached an unprecedented level, with flashes of inspiration constantly emerging.

In this 'mysterious' state, Luo Feng's efficiency in perfecting the Life-Death Path suddenly increased dramatically. He seemed to know in his the Unseen what the right thing to do was, and he could quickly perfect it without trial and error.

In just over ten breaths.

"Boom."

A completely transformative 'Life-Death Path' emerged in Luo Feng's mind.

"Success! The Life-Death Path at the God Emperor Late-Stage!" Luo Feng was excited at this moment, but then his soul broke out of that mysterious state, and an even stronger pain spread through his soul.

"It's not too late." Luo Feng didn't care about the pain at all; his eyes were filled with madness.

Boom!

Luo Feng rushed out of the Quiet Room of the cave abode in an instant!
