Chapter 278

Inside the arena, there was no suspense at all. Mu Shu simply could not break free.

Still, he bared his teeth in pain.

He was merely a Divided Soul. Losing some soul power meant nothing to him. The only regret was losing a few treasures, but those treasures were not much to him either.

Then I'll let this brat have them for now, Mu Shu thought.

This "Luo's" Soul Attack methods were far too powerful and bizarre. He had no way to resist them. However, he believed such methods could not be used without limit. With his Parasitic Soul, he might not be unable to deal with him.

More importantly, he could still sense the fluctuations in Luo Feng's soul aura. It had even become incredibly weak. Clearly, using that method had cost him dearly.

Mu Shu did not know that all of this had been disguised by Luo Feng through the Phantom Dao Pearl.

Before he was completely sealed, Mu Shu made up his mind.

With a thought, he detonated his entire body, along with the treasure capable of storing an enormous amount of divine power. The divine power stored within that treasure was even more exaggerated than the divine power of two or three Primordial Chaos Realm divine bodies.

The moment he self-destructed—

A blinding explosion of light erupted.

Luo Feng's expression changed at the sight of that dazzling blast. His habit of conserving abilities was about to get him into trouble.

The violent force tore through space-time. In that instant of self-destruction, all the energy erupted and poured forth. Its might was naturally incomparably terrifying. The forbidden power at the deepest level of the entire Arena World was directly stirred, causing the whole world to tremble.

Every spectator was startled at that moment.

Under their perception—

After the burst of light, a thunderous boom resounded throughout the Arena World. Violent force surged outward, and the first to bear the brunt was naturally Mountain Sea Palace. Mountain Sea Palace had already covered Mu Shu, yet under that violent surge of energy, the backlash directly sent it flying.

Luo Feng's reaction had been extremely fast, but as he switched to the Dao Intent Doppelganger, the violent shockwave had already struck his true body. Fortunately, with the Ice Silkworm Demon Armor protecting him, even though the impact was terrifying, and Luo Feng's response had not been slow, the damage remained within controllable limits.

The instant he completed the switch, the entire world was swallowed by dazzling light.

Violent force swept outward. At the source, even the forbidden powers at the bottom of the Arena World were battered. As all the spectators perceived this scene, their scalps went numb. That sight, that energy fluctuation, made their hearts tremble.

Mu Shu's self-destruction was even more terrifying than the self-destruction of two Primordial Chaos Realm experts.

It was simply far too powerful.

Luo Feng had retreated quite far away, yet even he was shocked by the force of the impact.

At this moment, Mountain Sea Palace had been sent flying and was completely impossible to control.

"This Mu Shu is truly terrifying. But he would rather self-destruct than be suppressed. That was decisive indeed," Jin Chuan sighed.

He sensed that Luo Feng had already left the source of the explosion, so there was nothing to worry about.

"The might of that self-destruction was indeed terrifying. If he had been at the source, I'm afraid Brother Luo would have been seriously injured as well. The energy was confined by a Palace Supreme Treasure, making it far more intense than an ordinary self-destruction."

The Lords discussed it among themselves, their scalps tingling from this battle.

In truth, the battle had been very brief. Luo Feng had immediately entered a desperate state, and not long after the battle began, it had reached the moment of Mu Shu's self-destruction.

The minds of all the spectators were shaken. Though the battle had been short, it had delivered a powerful impact. Nor were they surprised by the final result of the self-destruction, because many powerful experts were unwilling to be suppressed. They would rather self-destruct than submit to suppression.

By this point, even Martial Chain King was somewhat worried. Even if Mo Yi Jian possessed the ability to suppress Luo Feng, the other party would probably never allow himself to be suppressed.

Inside the arena.

Everything gradually dissipated. The forbidden power of the arena itself began absorbing the violent energy, calming the turbulent world.

All Luo Feng saw were several floating remnants.

There was a black cane, a black robe, a green stone pearl, and several large chunks of heavily damaged "metal." Of course, there were also countless material fragments scattered throughout the area. Apparently, at the final moment, Mu Shu had destroyed everything he could destroy, unwilling to leave Luo Feng anything at all.

Naturally, he had been unable to directly destroy those few treasures. Since they had withstood the attack, they remained behind.

With a wave of his hand, Luo Feng collected them all.

The outcome of the battle was naturally decided. The final victor was Luo Feng.

Outside the Arena World.

Luo Feng easily arrived before the Lords of his side. Seeing that he was safe and sound, Jin Chuan and the others could not help smiling.

"Luo Feng, you're truly impressive. You actually forced that strange fellow to self-destruct. It's just a pity that you were in such a hurry, Luo Feng. This battle ended before you could properly experience your own strength," Jin Chuan said.

Luo Feng was helpless. Naturally, Jin Chuan and the others did not know what had happened.

Luo Feng could not afford to wait. What if those eerie divine powers invaded his body and completely took control of him? In Luo Feng's eyes, the strangeness of those powers was even greater than the ones Soul Ancestor had possessed back then. Naturally, he could not wait.

"Luo Feng, look. It seems there are three fellows over there watching you," Dongbo Xueying said softly, his usual sharpness on display.

Luo Feng glanced over. Wasn't that fellow there?

Luo Feng thought of that scale. It seemed that scale was quite important. Even now, that fellow was still staring at him. However, Luo Feng had studied the scale. Aside from being incomparably hard—even tougher than a Peak Primordial Chaos Treasure—he could find nothing special about it.

"Ignore them," Luo Feng replied simply.

At the same time.

In another area of Wind God City stood the courtyard where Mu Shu had resided for many years.

Still clad in black robes, the tall and thin Mu Shu had a cold glint in his eyes. "Damn it. That fellow actually killed one of my avatars. This time, I lost quite a few treasures. The losses were considerable."

"But why was that fellow's Soul Attack so strong? My Parasitic Soul was of little use, and my soul defenses were directly breached. Thinking back, that Soul Attack seemed like some kind of treasure, yet also like some kind of secret technique."

"If it was a treasure, then what kind of thing could invade an enemy's soul and attack it? Could that thing be a Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure? Or even an Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure? Otherwise, it would not be so bizarre."

"However, that attack seemed to have made him pay some price as well. He cannot use it without limit."

Mu Shu could not help replaying everything in his mind, recalling Luo Feng's condition.

Now that he thought about it, everything was bizarre.

"Still, this avatar of mine exists only to experience different Eternal Paths. It can only be considered one of my weaker avatars. Although the treasures I lost are not insignificant to me, they are not much either. What a pity that I failed to experience the emperor-level Path of the Saber this time. The next time I encounter that fellow, I must have some proper fun with him."

Mu Shu was not particularly distressed. All he considered was when he could recover his losses.

What he needed to do now was find a way to guard against Luo Feng's Soul Attacks.

"Perhaps I should find someone whose Soul Dao is complete and spar with him. Once my Soul Dao is complete, I won't need to fear those Soul Attacks so much."

Luo Feng returned to his small courtyard and invited Jin Chuan and the other Lords over as well.

This time, combined with the two treasures he had obtained from Tian Heng Wang, he had quite a number of treasures in hand. He had no use for them now, but he could give them to the others.

Jin Chuan, Jin, Ming Bai, Hong, Dongbo Xueying, and Fen Ge—the six of them were all there.

Among Luo Feng's treasures were a chain obtained from Tian Heng Wang and a long staff.

From Mu Shu, there was a black cane, a black robe, and a green stone pearl. As for that damaged lump of metal, it was also material from some treasure. Luo Feng had put it away, as it could only be used as treasure material or fed to Molosa in the future.

There was nothing else.

Clearly, Mu Shu had brought only some treasures for battle. He had either not brought the others or had already destroyed them.

That cane was a Quasi Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure. Though it was called a cane, it was an offensive weapon. Yet it was also a domain treasure. The black domain world from before had been activated by this treasure.

The robe was likewise a precious defensive treasure, also a Quasi Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

As for the green stone pearl, Luo Feng felt it was the greatest gain from this battle. It was a soul-defense treasure. Its defensive ability was inferior to the Soul Suppressing Feather, but stronger than ordinary Peak Primordial Chaos Treasures. It could barely be considered a Quasi Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

A soul-related Quasi Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure, even one that was not especially top-tier, was more precious than an ordinary Quasi Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

Luo Feng now had four treasures in hand. He naturally kept the stone pearl for himself first. Perhaps he would give it to Hong or Jin later.

As for the other four treasures, Luo Feng had already made plans to give them to these younger brothers.

"Ming Bai, you can try this chain. It does not place much demand on divine power, so it should suit you," Luo Feng said directly. "But the rules are the same as before. This treasure is being given to you by all of Dao Peak City. When you have something suitable later, you can exchange it back."

Ming Bai nodded and did not refuse.

Hong and Dongbo Xueying both possessed Quasi Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasures, so naturally they were rather envious as well.

For the black robe, Luo Feng looked at Jin. "Jin, use this treasure for now."

Jin immediately nodded with a smile. Of course he needed a treasure. Although it was merely defensive, it could greatly improve his odds of survival.

"As for the remaining two, Brother Chuan, why don't you take a look? Pick one. You can sell it at Treasure Hunting Hall and exchange it for a new one if you wish, though you may need to figure out the price difference yourself," Luo Feng said, looking toward Jin Chuan.

Jin Chuan nodded and picked up the black cane. "I can try this one. I think I can use it."

His eye was keen. This cane was probably more precious than the long staff.

Naturally, the remaining treasure would be given to Fen Ge first. It was not particularly suitable for Dongbo Xueying, and as Old Nine, Dongbo Xueying should yield to Old Eight.
