The End of the First Wave of Competition

"In close combat, it's not just about strength!" Wildwind City Lord suddenly drew the two short spears from his back. His towering body, a hundred trillion kilometers tall, merged into the wild winds and instantly closed in on Luo Feng.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

The wind howled. In an instant, Wildwind City Lord's figure appeared all around Luo Feng, phantom short spears thrusting at him again and again.

Luo Feng stood where he was, watching coldly.

"Bang, bang, bang." As those short spears struck Luo Feng's body, black liquid immediately tried to coil around them. But Wildwind City Lord was equally immensely powerful, and the black liquid could not restrain him.

"Not a single drop of blood?" Wildwind City Lord was quite shocked. "Just what kind of body-refining method does he cultivate?"

A Blood Shadow Blade suddenly appeared in Luo Feng's hand. Its might was now clearly far more terrifying. It already possessed the potential to grow into a God King Ultimate Realm weapon, incomparably heavy and sharp. Luo Feng abruptly swung it, and Wildwind City Lord crossed his twin short spears to take the blow head-on.

Boom!

As their enormous weapons collided, the shockwave spread in every direction, sweeping across hundreds of millions of kilometers.

Both of them were gigantic. Every movement carried world-destroying might. An ordinary large city before them would likely be crushed to dust beneath a single footstep. Such power made even the Chaos Realm peak experts watching from afar tremble.

"The gap between Chaos Realm Transcendence and the Chaos Realm peak... is simply too great." The Chaos Realm peak experts thought this to themselves.

They too could easily wipe out a large city.

But their little bit of strength was not worth mentioning before the two towering beings in front of them!

Luo Feng and Wildwind City Lord both stopped. They both knew they could do nothing to the other.

"Luo He, your strength is no less than mine." Wildwind City Lord's voice rumbled like thunder. "But you should understand that our greatest opponent in this struggle for the Blood Spirit Golden Pearls is Great Sage Bi Yun."

Luo Feng understood this as well.

Great Sage Bi Yun and Wildwind City Lord were both among the foremost Chaos Realm Transcendence experts. But when it came to competing for Blood Spirit Golden Pearls, Great Sage Bi Yun was indeed more adept.

Even now, Luo Feng could not sense Great Sage Bi Yun's aura at all.

"Luo He, do you think this is enough to seal off the Blood Spirit Star?" A cold voice suddenly rang out.

Whoosh.

A gray figure ignored the black liquid enveloping the Blood Spirit Star and appeared within it out of thin air.

Flames surged across the Blood Spirit Star. The gray figure stood amid the flames, leisurely observing the surroundings.

"Luo He, your strength is not enough to seal off the Blood Spirit Star." Great Sage Bi Yun's cool voice sounded. In an instant, the black liquid Luo Feng had used to envelop the Blood Spirit Star shattered completely.

Luo Feng sensed that the space occupied by the black liquid had been utterly torn apart, naturally causing the black liquid to split apart as well.

"The Black Abyss Transformation Method alone truly cannot stop her." After this initial exchange with Great Sage Bi Yun, Luo Feng felt just how terrifying she was.

That terrifying sharpness made even Luo Feng marvel.

Great Sage Bi Yun's body was quite ordinary, far inferior to Luo Feng's and Wildwind City Lord's. Yet her destructive power, enough to cleave apart heaven and earth, surpassed both Wildwind City Lord and Luo Feng.

"Great Sage Bi Yun truly is formidable." Gray Shadow stood on the surface of the Blood Spirit Star and smiled.

Luo Feng, Great Sage Bi Yun, and Wildwind City Lord were also highly wary of Gray Shadow, Great Sage Yan Su.

In terms of frontal combat strength, Great Sage Yan Su was indeed somewhat inferior to the three of them. But Great Sage Yan Su cultivated the Space Origin Great Path, making him naturally adept at contending for Blood Spirit Golden Pearls. Moreover, he had cultivated the Clone Technique.

"The Seven First-Class Marquises of the Di Chu Lineage actually drew so many powerful experts here for a Heaven-Level Task." Palace Master Yuan Xiu watched from afar. "I'll stay farther away. If I can snatch even one, that will be enough."

Among the Chaos Realm Transcendence experts present, Palace Master Yuan Xiu was the most skilled at trapping and imprisoning enemies.

Luo Feng and Wildwind City Lord possessed bodies that were simply too terrifying. He could not drag them in at all.

Great Sage Bi Yun and Great Sage Yan Su, whose bodies were comparatively weaker, were easier to collect into the Dark Manor once locked onto. Of course, Great Sage Bi Yun constantly concealed herself, making her difficult to find. And even if imprisoned, her terrifying destructive power would allow her to fight her way out of the Dark Manor prison.

As for Great Sage Yan Su, he also had the Clone Technique. Even if one of his clones was imprisoned, he could swiftly self-destruct it and cultivate another.

It would be troublesome to completely fall out with him.

"I'll just do my best." Palace Master Yuan Xiu only intended to pick up leftovers and had no desire to risk his life.

Luo Feng looked at the Blood Spirit Star before him and felt a headache coming on.

There were two beings on his level: Wildwind City Lord and Great Sage Bi Yun. Great Sage Yan Su was slightly weaker but skilled in space, and Palace Master Yuan Xiu was hiding far away.

"Buzz."

The Blood Spirit Star had been naturally formed by heaven and earth. Its core was solid, its Middle Layer Area was liquid, and only its outer layer consisted of blood-colored flames. Moreover, the ancient God Kings of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation had long ago set up formations within the core layer of the Blood Spirit Star, allowing it to better absorb the power of heaven and earth and produce more Blood Spirit Golden Pearls.

In truth, every Treasure Land on the Origin Continent that produced Heaven and Earth Treasures had an owner.

Formations would be set up to protect the Treasure Lands and even nourish them.

Only these Treasure Lands along the border of the Two Great Ancient Nations were places where the two nations tacitly permitted their experts to compete. Whoever had the strength could take them. But there was one rule—destroying a Treasure Land was forbidden.

Treasure Lands could continuously produce rare treasures!

Those competing for treasures could rely on their own abilities.

But deliberately destroying a Treasure Land was a violation of taboo! The Two Great Ancient Nations would severely punish it!

An ordinary Treasure Land might only produce treasures worth several thousand merit points each Epoch, but over ten thousand Epochs, that would amount to treasures worth tens of millions of merit points! One could imagine the value of a Treasure Land.

Of course, these Treasure Lands all had formations laid down by God Kings, so destroying them was no easy task.

"I'll take however many I can." With a thought, Luo Feng sent a vast silver river spreading outward.

Silver River Transformation Method!

The endless silver river gathered and scattered unpredictably, sweeping mightily around the Blood Spirit Star.

As long as a Blood Spirit Golden Pearl erupted into the silver river of its own accord and was bound by it, the other powerful experts could forget about taking it away.

"Hm?" Wildwind City Lord's expression changed slightly upon seeing this. His Wildwind Domain exerted itself to suppress it.

Boom!

The Silver River Transformation Method, formed from billions of units, surged mightily. In a direct clash, it was clearly a level stronger than the Wildwind Domain.

This was also Luo Feng's final method: using the large-scale domain technique of the Silver River Transformation Method to compete for Blood Spirit Golden Pearls. The Silver River Transformation Method gathered and scattered unpredictably, moved as swiftly as lightning, and shifted in unfathomable ways. It was most suited for use over long distances.

"This Luo He has such a move as well?" Wildwind City Lord realized something was wrong.

His Wildwind Domain permeated everywhere and was indeed suited for seizing treasures.

In terms of flexibility, transformation, and infiltration, the Silver River Transformation Method was slightly inferior to the Wildwind Domain. But the silver river possessed greater might, and wherever it extended, it completely suppressed the Wildwind Domain!

"Great Sage Luo He's domain technique is rather extraordinary." Gray Shadow, standing on the surface of the Blood Spirit Star, smiled.

The moment he finished speaking—

The vast silver river seemed to freeze, and even moving became much slower.

"Hm?" Luo Feng's expression changed slightly. He sensed that space had seemingly solidified, layer upon layer of restraints binding his Silver River Transformation Method! He could still force it to move with sheer power, but its speed was reduced to only ten or twenty percent.

"Please don't take offense." Great Sage Yan Su smiled. "Your domain technique is simply too powerful. I can only suppress it a little."

"Good, very good." Luo Feng looked at him.

At that moment, boom~~~

During the eruption phase, the liquid flames erupting from the Blood Spirit Star suddenly spewed out ten Blood Spirit Golden Pearls at once.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

A sharp edge cleaved through heaven and earth, instantly cutting away two small regions of space. Those two regions carried a total of three Blood Spirit Golden Pearls, which were swept away into nothingness just like that.

Luo Feng's Silver River Domain covered a vast area and was very close to those Blood Spirit Golden Pearls. He immediately moved to seize them.

"Buzz." Space seemed to freeze. The degree of confinement instantly surged, and Luo Feng's Silver River Transformation Method moved even more slowly.

"Damn it." Luo Feng was furious.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Wildwind City Lord, Great Sage Yan Su, and Luo Feng all acted swiftly.

Wildwind City Lord's winds howled as they swept away two Blood Spirit Golden Pearls. Great Sage Yan Su teleported and seized two Blood Spirit Golden Pearls. Although Luo Feng's Silver River Transformation Method held the positional advantage and completely covered the Blood Spirit Star, its movement was slow, and he only managed to bind two Blood Spirit Golden Pearls. Even Palace Master Yuan Xiu, hiding in the distance, took advantage of the opportunity to collect one Blood Spirit Golden Pearl with the Dark Manor prison.

"Yan Su." Luo Feng looked at Great Sage Yan Su. If Yan Su had not used spatial confinement against him, then with the advantage of the Silver River Transformation Method, Luo Feng might have gained twice as many Blood Spirit Golden Pearls.

Great Sage Yan Su merely smiled.

"Great Sage Yan Su." Luo Feng immediately transmitted his voice. "Five Chaos Realm Transcendence experts are competing, yet you are only targeting me? As long as you stop obstructing me, once this eruption ends, I'll give you three Blood Spirit Golden Pearls."

"Haha... when competing for Blood Spirit Golden Pearls, everyone relies on their own abilities." Yan Su General looked at Luo Feng with narrowed, smiling eyes.

Luo Feng could sense that the other party was deliberately targeting him.

Spatial confinement could restrain the Silver River Transformation Method, but it could also restrain the Wildwind Domain! Yet Yan Su General was going all out against Luo Feng alone.

"Very well. Everyone relies on their own abilities." Luo Feng gave him a cold glance and said no more.

Time passed.

This eruption of Blood Spirit Golden Pearls lasted roughly three days.

Great Sage Bi Yun never showed herself from beginning to end, yet she intercepted the most, a full twenty-five Blood Spirit Golden Pearls.

Wildwind City Lord, relying on his Wildwind Domain's pervasive infiltration, also took twelve Blood Spirit Golden Pearls.

Although Luo Feng's Silver River Transformation Method covered the surroundings, under Great Sage Yan Su's spatial confinement, he obtained only nine Blood Spirit Golden Pearls.

Great Sage Yan Su also seized eight Blood Spirit Golden Pearls.

Palace Master Yuan Xiu, who had remained hidden in the distance and looked for chances to pick up leftovers amid the struggle, obtained three Blood Spirit Golden Pearls as well.

"Great Sage Yan Su targeted Great Sage Luo He again and again. Do they have some grudge?"

"Great Sage Yan Su's spatial confinement could have restrained both Great Sage Luo He and Wildwind City Lord at the same time. That way, the restraint on Great Sage Luo He would have been much weaker, and he should have obtained two or three more Blood Spirit Golden Pearls. Wildwind City Lord would also have obtained several fewer."

"Yan Su has offended Luo He this time."

"So what if he has? Great Sage Yan Su cultivates the Clone Technique. He is far more troublesome than ordinary Chaos Realm Transcendence experts."

Not to mention Chaos Realm Transcendence experts—even among God Kings, those who possessed clones were extremely rare.

The Chaos Realm peak experts observing from afar had witnessed the entire process. They chatted idly among themselves as they began to leave.

After watching the first wave of competition, they had already abandoned any thoughts of competing.

"Hahaha..."

Wildwind City Lord stood below the Blood Spirit Star and looked around. His booming voice echoed between heaven and earth. "I obtained a total of twelve Blood Spirit Golden Pearls. I am willing to sell these Blood Spirit Golden Pearls to you. The minimum price is ten billion Universe Sand each! Highest bidder gets them!"

Luo Feng, Great Sage Bi Yun, Palace Master Yuan Xiu, Yan Su, and some Chaos Realm peak experts who were about to leave all heard the news.

"A minimum price of ten billion Universe Sand each? Has he gone mad?"

Even Great Sage Bi Yun, the wealthiest person present, felt that the price was absurd.
