At this moment.

Ze Ji Er Qi sensed the world around him instantly plunging into endless darkness. The power here was immensely strong. The moment he flew into it, he felt as though he had entered a swamp, his speed and strength both dropping.

Even though he controlled spacetime, the spacetime around him seemed to have been isolated, making him deeply uneasy.

At the same time, an incomparably powerful aura surged from the region ahead, causing his expression to change drastically.

The aura was already beyond the scope of the God Nether Realm. It belonged to the God Heaven Realm.

And based on the aura he sensed, it was highly likely to be the Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler.

"This is troublesome. The Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler has made his move so quickly." Ze Ji Er Qi's expression turned solemn, but he did not stop. He changed direction and continued fleeing.

But suddenly.

Rumble!

The ground below trembled, and the power of space was violently stirred.

Ze Ji Er Qi could sense an incomparably powerful aura spreading from the earth below. The domain power here was suppressed once more. Besides the Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler's own domain, there seemed to be the domain might of a powerful treasure as well. In an instant, although he could still control space, he was greatly affected.

His speed had fallen to fifty percent of its initial level.

With his speed suddenly cut in half, the extent of the impact was obvious.

If he were not a member of the Dark Realm Race and did not possess such a perfectly suited supreme treasure, it would already have been good enough if he could retain even ten percent of his speed.

Ze Ji Er Qi suddenly looked in one direction. The most powerful aura was coming from there. His vision was completely obstructed by darkness, but his senses would not be wrong. The one who had appeared was none other than the Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler.

His figure was far larger than that of the Great You Kingdom Ruler.

Ze Ji Er Qi's expression shifted.

"Boy, hand over Your Highness Wu Ka Xing at once, then willingly accept death. Otherwise, you will suffer the most agonizing torment."

The Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler's voice echoed through the domain.

Ze Ji Er Qi's expression immediately turned ugly.

The implication was that not only did they want him to release Wu Ka Xing, they would not spare his life either.

During the time he had paused, more auras caught up from behind. Xuan Lang had already arrived with a large group of Half-Step God Heaven Realm experts.

Immediately afterward, even more domain power descended, and Ze Ji Er Qi felt an even more terrifying suppressive force.

In the past, Uncle Zuo had made him experience countless slaughter battles. Yet even the most dangerous situations had never seemed as dire as this. There were nearly two hundred Half-Step God Heaven Realm experts, as well as a God Heaven Realm Kingdom Ruler. In such circumstances, he did not even know how he could escape.

Now, he was surrounded on all sides. There was nowhere left to flee.

"Ze Ji Er Qi, Uncle Zuo sent me to help you. He hopes we can escape using our own strength. Once Uncle Zuo is forced to act, our chances of getting out alive may become even lower. So we need to give it everything we have and work together."

Luo Feng's voice sounded in Ze Ji Er Qi's mind.

Ze Ji Er Qi immediately released Luo Feng as well.

He had no doubts about Luo Feng's words. Once Uncle Zuo was forced to take action, the situation they faced might become even more dangerous. Surviving would only become harder.

He had never imagined that this return to the ancestral land would be so perilous.

Thinking about it now, he finally understood why Uncle Zuo had always forced him through all kinds of dangers in the past. Compared to what he faced now, those past experiences were nothing.

The Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler looked at the newly appeared Luo Feng, and his expression did not change much. As long as Luo Feng was not in the God Heaven Realm, he feared nothing... Even if Luo Feng was in the God Heaven Realm, he feared nothing. This was the Star Cloud Kingdom, his territory. Within his own territory, his strength could increase greatly. Other than those few from Three Stars Bay, he had never feared anyone.

"Kingdom Ruler, these two must be captured alive. One commands the Emperor Clan Power of the Void Refining Ancient Race, while the other is a Primordial Chaos Godfiend. Their lives belong to Your Highness Wu Ka Xing."

Xuan Lang looked at the Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler.

The Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler nodded. "Rest assured. I will personally capture them alive. I will not give them any opportunity."

He did not dare seize what Ke You Sa's offspring desired, unless he no longer wished to remain in the Star Cloud Kingdom.

What he had not expected, however, was that Luo Feng was actually a Primordial Chaos Godfiend. It was somewhat strange for a Primordial Chaos Godfiend to be together with a native lifeform at the Half-Step God Heaven Realm.

If he devoured this Primordial Chaos Godfiend, he might even break through further. There was no need to keep him alive at all... Becoming friends was simply too bizarre.

The Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler looked at Luo Feng and Ze Ji Er Qi. Since they had managed to capture Wu Ka Xing, neither of them was simple. Especially Ze Ji Er Qi—the Emperor Clan Power of the Void Refining Ancient Race radiating from him was enough to show that his overall strength was no weaker than Xuan Lang's.

To capture these two alive, he truly had to act personally. Even Xuan Lang might not be able to do it. There was no way to completely restrain the soul of a Primordial Chaos Godfiend; it could entirely self-destruct.

But with his God Heaven Realm soul, restricting a God Nether Realm Primordial Chaos Godfiend was still possible.

As he looked at Luo Feng and Ze Ji Er Qi, the Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler did not waste words. Domain power completely bore down on them, while a blood-fiend Will Impact was directed straight at Luo Feng and Ze Ji Er Qi.

"Kill!"

Feeling that intangible power, Luo Feng felt as though violent battle cries were ringing beside his ears. His mind thundered, and half the scenes in his consciousness seemed to fall into endless slaughter. On that battlefield of slaughter, cries of killing filled every corner.

However, Luo Feng swiftly suppressed those scenes.

After refining the Netherworld Heart, his soul had become more accustomed to this intent of slaughter. Together with the Star Tower's protection, he was able to preserve his clarity. Otherwise, that Will Impact alone would have been enough to drive him mad.

At this moment, Luo Feng saw the Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler, who looked somewhat bear-like, striding through the air toward them. "Boy, release Your Highness Wu Ka Xing immediately. Otherwise, you will both regret it."

Luo Feng and Ze Ji Er Qi could no longer escape, so he was naturally in no hurry.

What he feared now was that they would simply kill Wu Ka Xing. That would be troublesome.

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Feng simultaneously burned his divine power, Dao Intent Power, and soul. The Star Tower's Suppression Domain was fully activated, and his identity as a Primordial Chaos Godfiend was directly confirmed.

Only after going all out did Luo Feng feel somewhat less burdened.

"Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler, if you do not want Wu Ka Xing to die, I advise you to make way for us. Once we leave the Star Cloud Kingdom, we will naturally release him. But if you push me too far, do you believe his body will turn to ashes, leaving nothing behind?" Luo Feng looked at the approaching Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler.

The Star Tower appeared in Luo Feng's hand, radiating vast and mighty power. Luo Feng grinned. "Believe me, it would be very easy for my treasure to kill him."

At the same time—

"Ze Ji Er Qi, I have a single-use treasure that can unleash the power of a peak God Heaven Realm expert. We will work together in a moment and heavily injure this fellow in one stroke."

"As a God Heaven Realm expert, he will definitely look down on us. If he underestimates us, we will have an opportunity. But that will be our only chance to strike. I hope we can push it to the limit."

Luo Feng's voice echoed in Ze Ji Er Qi's mind.

Ze Ji Er Qi was shocked, but he trusted Luo Feng.

Ze Ji Er Qi also looked at the Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler. His expression became savage, as if he had no fear at all, and he said madly, "Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler, you know this. Having lived until now, we have long regarded life and death lightly. If you insist on blocking us, then we will perish together. If Your Highness Wu Ka Xing loses the Emperor Clan Power of the Profound Heaven Emperor Devil Race, his strength will decline."

As Ze Ji Er Qi spoke, fear still appeared in his eyes.

Only then would the act seem more convincing.

Hearing Luo Feng and Ze Ji Er Qi's words, flames flickered in the Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler's eyes, and his expression became rather ugly. He no longer had the mind to consider the sharp intent emanating from Luo Feng.

Luo Feng and Ze Ji Er Qi looked ready to perish together with their enemy, leaving him unable to make a decision. He looked at Xuan Lang and said in a low voice, "Xuan Lang, you failed to protect Your Highness Wu Ka Xing, which led to the current situation. You will make this decision. Whether we let them leave or capture them alive, say the word, and I will act!"

The Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler openly declared this because he naturally wanted to throw all responsibility back onto Xuan Lang.

By making it clear before so many lifeforms of the Star Cloud Kingdom, he established that this was Xuan Lang's responsibility.

Of course Xuan Lang knew that. He snorted inwardly.

At this point, it was a contest between the two sides. If he let them leave, Your Highness Wu Ka Xing might not return. But if he did not make that move, then he would be sending Your Highness Wu Ka Xing to his death.

This was an open scheme with no perfect solution.

This Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler was clearly trying to set him up.

"I need to fully sense Your Highness Wu Ka Xing's aura. If he is unharmed, what would it matter if I let you leave? But if something is wrong with him, do not blame us for being impolite. Your treasure can release his aura completely, can't it? Of course, the best solution would be for us to communicate with Your Highness Wu Ka Xing. Whether you may leave or not will be up to him." Xuan Lang looked at Luo Feng, murderous intent thick in his eyes.

Letting Luo Feng and the others leave was impossible.

What he needed to do now was find a reason for the Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler to act. He refused to believe that these people had not done anything else after suppressing Your Highness Wu Ka Xing.

When Luo Feng heard this, his expression turned somewhat ugly. As expected, Xuan Lang was no fool.

Wu Ka Xing's soul aura was currently extremely weak. On top of that, Molosa had devoured quite a bit of his flesh and blood. They absolutely could not let the others know about his condition.

Moreover, releasing Wu Ka Xing was impossible. Even if Wu Ka Xing were perfectly intact, once released, he would still crazily seek revenge against Luo Feng and Ze Ji Er Qi.

Seeing Luo Feng's expression and his lack of response, Xuan Lang looked at the Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler and said coldly, "Kingdom Ruler, you know what to do now. Perhaps Your Highness Wu Ka Xing has already been killed by them."

Although this matter was Xuan Lang's problem, he was still willing to drag the Star Cloud Kingdom Ruler down with him.
