Volume Eight: Dividing to Guard All Sides

Suddenly, Emperor Qing, Di Fu, and Emperor Lord Ming felt a terrifying aura erupt from inside the cave abode. A figure instantly soared into the sky, and they recognized him at a glance as Luo Feng!

Luo Feng stood above the cave abode.

Whoosh! Instantly, it split into twenty-three clones!

Twenty-three Luo Feng observed all directions.

"Emperor Qing, all of you stay inside the cave abode and don't go out."

Luo Feng gave the order, and the twenty-three clones instantly flew in all directions.

"This... this..."

"Why is Brother Luo Feng splitting himself into so many clones?"

"The more clones Luo Feng has, the more thoughts he needs to control each clone, and the weaker his energy reserves become." Emperor Qing, Di Fu, and Emperor Lord Ming were all somewhat puzzled. Even if Luo Feng possessed strength comparable to the three Palace Masters, his strength would be greatly reduced if he created many clones. In the face of the mighty army that was breaking through the city at this moment, it would be meaningless.

Emperor Lord Ming laughed, "Perhaps Brother Luo Feng thinks that instead of waiting to die, it's better to fight to the death. I also really want to fight to the death, but alas... I can't even defeat the weakest Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform, so I don't even have the right to fight to the death."

Emperor Lord Ming was already waiting to die.

"This isn't Luo Feng's nature." Di Fu frowned as he looked at the twenty-three clones that had disappeared into the distance. "I've watched Luo Feng grow up to where he is today. Whenever he makes a move, he must have some confidence in it."

Emperor Qing seemed to be deep in thought.

At this moment, Luo Feng's guardian clone in the Pill Pavilion and his patrolling clone outside all split into eleven clones in total.

"Call."

Thirty-four clones flew separately, heading towards different locations in the core area of Rain Ripple City.

"These thirty-four clones of mine will guard the entire core area." Luo Feng had planned this all along.

Of these thirty-four clones, only the strongest clone possesses Five Hundred Times Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve and carries the 'Undying Heart' and the 'Palm World'. The other thirty-three clones each only have one hundred times the energy reserves.

This is all of Luo Feng's energy reserves right now! At this moment, he is giving it his all!

The core area of Rain Ripple City is the most prosperous, with many elders' cave abode located there. Even now, the elders are still maintaining the formations of Rain Ripple City, trying to find ways to resist the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform army.

"It's over."

"The Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform Legion is all heading towards the core area."

When they saw four Overlimit-Level beings leading more than 2,000 God Emperor Completion-Level and tens of thousands of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform at the God Emperor Late-Stage rushing towards the core area, all the elders felt trembling and despair.

They were able to resist the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform Legion only because of the defenses of Rain Ripple City.

Without the advantage of controlling the city, the gap between the two sides is too large.

This was launched hastily! Otherwise, the number of legions would have doubled! With simultaneous attacks from both inside and outside, Rain Ripple City would have been breached in a very short time, with no possibility of resistance.

"According to our calculations, there are only about two or three hundred Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform around our Rain Ripple City at the God Emperor Completion-Level, and only a few thousand at the God Emperor Late-Stage. But this time... so many have come!"

The elders were all watching.

Inside the city, there were originally three palace masters and more than 700 God Emperor Late-Stage Enlightenment Seeker. Without the defenses of Rain Ripple City, they were no match for the 'two or three hundred God Emperor Completion and several thousand God Emperor Late-Stage's Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform.

Currently, there are two to three thousand God Emperor Completion! Tens of thousands of God Emperor Late-Stage! Including the infiltrators, there are also a full five 'Overlimit-Level' beings!

How do I block it?

"Hahaha... We won!"

"We won!"

The five leadership teams in the core area were ecstatic; they were somewhat uneasy about this hasty launch. Although many core members and two leaders perished, they ultimately survived to the end!

The city has fallen, and the army has entered! They are about to enjoy the most sumptuous feast.

"Once we wipe out these elders, we can enjoy the bounty of hundreds of millions of Xing Zhe!" These leaders had gone mad.

Suddenly--

Luo Feng's numerous clones, scattered across various locations, were tasked with guarding the entire core area. One of these clones, however, was approaching a leader's team.

"Boom—"

This clone instantly transformed into a vast sea of blood, which engulfed the leader's team in an instant.

"Luo Feng again?"

"The city has fallen, yet he still dares to obstruct us. Let's join forces and wipe him out!"

The six leaders of this group were somewhat annoyed. Their bodies materialized, and their powerful, God Emperor Completion-Level forms unleashed their might, attempting to tear apart the sea of blood. However, the six of them felt an endless weight from the sea of blood! Even rolling over was a struggle for them.

"Town!"

Amidst the vast sea of blood, Luo Feng formed an array with a single thought.

His formation operated around the core of the 'God Emperor Late-Stage's Life-Death Path,' forcibly suppressing the six leaders. Under the suppression of the Blood Sea Formation, they could only barely roll around, their movement speed as slow as a tortoise crawl.

"Destroy." Luo Feng suppressed the enemy with an array while simultaneously mobilizing its power to annihilate one of the leader's true forms.

"Hiss hiss hiss."

Under the strangulation of the formation, the body of the God Emperor Completion-Level Bewitching Heart Worm was rapidly eroded, its life force dissipated, and soon its powerful body was torn apart as the Law Power penetrated its body, approaching its Life Core.

"No—" The Bewitching Heart Worm, at the God Emperor Completion, couldn't believe it. Its powerful life force was completely suppressed, unable to recover even a fraction. Every bit of it was eroded was a bit less; under Luo Feng's Blood Sea Great Array, the erosion was extremely rapid, and death was quickly approaching the Bewitching Heart Worm!

"Help! Help!" it immediately cried out to its companions.

"King, save me, save me!" it cried out to the king in terror.

"Um?"

In another part of the core area, the king, who resembled the Hall Master Wei Yang, looked over from afar and saw a sea of blood floating there, suppressing six leaders, one of whom was begging for mercy in terror.

"How is that possible? The city has fallen. How could there be any force within the city that could threaten a leader-level team?" Wang couldn't believe it.

"Help me, help me, no—"

Accompanied by a resentful and shrill cry, this cry resounded in the heart of the king and in the hearts of the other leaders.

A Bewitching Heart Worm the God Emperor Completion-Level died just like that.

Call!

Above the sea of blood, Luo Feng's figure materialized.

Luo Feng frowned slightly, looking at the lifeless corpse in the sea of blood; the corpse's Life Core had already cracked.

"My Life-Death Path has reached the God Emperor Late-Stage, but I didn't expect that destroying a leader's team would be so troublesome." Only after Luo Feng made his move did he realize that the true bodies of these leaders were indeed too resilient.

"This clone of mine doesn't have any powerful secret treasures, its energy reserves are insufficient, and its Secret Method aren't particularly strong." Luo Feng understood this as well.

With only a hundred times the energy reserves, at his level, every move he makes contains the "God Emperor Late-Stage's Life-Death Path." The Weapon Secret Treasure sold outside are far less profound than his casual moves and have no meaning to him anymore.

In other words, only secret treasures nurtured and refined by beings who have broken free from their Cage, such as the Undying Heart and the Palm World, are useful to oneself.

However, such treasures are rare because they must be suitable for oneself.

While Luo Feng was pondering, the second leader of the leader team under his Blood Sea Formation was killed. As their numbers decreased, the remaining leaders were less able to resist and died even faster.

"No--"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

These leaders were in utter despair; under the suppression of the Blood Sea Formation, they were all unable to move.

They died faster and faster as time went on, until finally all six leaders perished.

"In a dozen or so breaths, we wiped out a team." Luo Feng looked into the distance.

"Beware of God Emperor Luo Feng."

"Luo Feng wiped out a leader's team."

The other four leader teams were in a state of panic, but Luo Feng's clones were scattered throughout the core area, and one of his clones quickly approached one of the leader teams. That leader team was so frightened that they fled immediately.

"Run! Run now!"

"We're faster, let's shake him off."

The leader's team has vanished into nothingness and is fleeing with all their might.

Suddenly--

Call!

As Luo Feng flew, it seemed as if he had torn the heavens and earth apart in an instant, creating a rift between them! This scene stunned the fleeing leaders.

Dressed in black with black hair, Luo Feng walked through the crack between heaven and earth. After only three steps, a vast sea of blood enveloped the leader's team beneath Luo Feng feet.

"How is that possible? He's faster than us?"

"Did he just travel a short distance through space?"

"With such strong suppression from the Nine Rivers Holy World, how could he possibly traverse space?"

This entire leadership team felt despair, overwhelmed and enveloped by a sea of blood, yet they still couldn't accept it.

Luo Feng, however, revealed a slight smile.

"Finally, I've created a Secret Method based on the 'God Emperor Late-Stage's Life-Death Path'." Luo Feng thought to himself. He had just broken through and immediately went out to fight against all sides, which was too hasty. He hadn't had time to create many Secret Method based on the 'Life-Death Path'.

Those who have reached the God Emperor Late-Stage and mastered the Life-Death Path can create extraordinary Secret Method based on it. However, each technique requires time to develop.

Luo Feng has now created 34 clones to guard the core area.

In reality, after consuming the 'Hundred Tribulations Marrow,' his mental processing speed increased three thousand times, making the mental burden of fighting with clones minimal. He primarily focused his mental energy on two things.

The first thing to do is to use the 'City-Building Seal' to rearrange the array within the core array layer of Rain Ripple City! His original array was too weak, and now he needs to rearrange it using the 'Life-Death Path'. Only with the help of Rain Ripple City can his array still cover the entire city under the suppression of the Nine Rivers Holy World, possessing super power and capable of threatening the entire army of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform.

The second thing Luo Feng was doing was perfecting the Secret Method.

Luo Feng could easily create simple Secret Method such as flying, dodging, and killing enemies.

The most difficult is the Secret Method "Undying Blood Sea Body," created using the Star Tower Blood Scale as its core and the "Undying Heart" as a reference! Luo Feng has no hope of perfecting it to a higher level in the short term. The "Imitation Life-Death Eye" will also require a very long time to develop.

Therefore, Luo Feng is now creating some simple Secret Method.

Only...

What he considered a simple Secret Method was, in the eyes of other Xing Zhe, incredible!

An ordinary cave abode in the outer city.

The Hall Master Yuan Xiang could still observe the movements of the entire city. He stared blankly at everything, especially as Luo Feng flew, forcibly tearing the heavens and earth apart, causing cracks to appear between them.

"In the Nine Rivers Holy World, he can actually tear through the heavens and earth to fly, achieving the effect of short-distance traversal of the void?" The Hall Master Yuan Xiang's eyes lit up. "A single clone can suppress a leader's team. Has he mastered two and Half Primal Chaos level Daos?"

In the Nine Rivers Holy World, spatial travel is virtually impossible. However, there are still some escape treasures that can traverse short distances through the void.

Where did those escaped objects come from?

These are treasures that powerful figures like Luo Feng at this moment, and the Hall Master Yuan Xiang at his peak, spent some effort to refine, and are generally one-time use items.

"There's hope! There's hope!" The Hall Master Yuan Xiang exclaimed excitedly. "Having mastered two and Half Primal Chaos level Daos, if he were to Law Seals into Rain Ripple City use it, even if there are heavy casualties, there is still hope of saving countless Xing Zhe in Rain Ripple City."

At this moment, the Hall Master Yuan Xiang did not know that Luo Feng's Dao was not two and Half Primal Chaos level Daos, but a complete God Emperor Late-Stage Life-Death Path.

These two paths need to be coordinated, and coordinated with sufficient finesse, in order to reach a higher level!

The complete Dao, once broken through, is already at a higher level.

Luo Feng has already become stronger than the Hall Master Yuan Xiang at his peak after his breakthrough! After all, no matter how exquisite the coordination, it is still not as good as a complete unity!
