Great God Heaven Returns

Great God Heaven—Returns

Luo Feng was also rushing back toward Primordial Chaos Heaven. Of their group, aside from Lord of Fire Devourment and Ice God, everyone else had returned intact.

Within the Council Hall, Luo Feng and the few others at the core were either present through avatars or incarnations.

Lord of Fire Devourment and Ice God, who had not participated, also knew about Luo Feng, Azure Profound Monarch, and the others raiding the Void Refining Ancient Race Clan Land.

Everyone had to prepare for both possibilities: either the Void Refining Ancient Race would come to negotiate, or they would come to wage war.

The Star Tower swiftly transformed into a streak of light and flew into the territory of Primordial Chaos Heaven.

"Finally back." Ice God and Lord of Fire Devourment rose to their feet. Outside the Council Hall, Azure Profound Monarch, Luo Feng, and the others returned.

Luo Feng looked at Ice God and smiled. "Old Bing, this is your Emperor Weapon." As he spoke, he tossed the chain to Ice God.

Luo Feng then looked at Lord of Fire Devourment. "Old Huo, your experience this time was a bit unfortunate. Qing Ge and I discussed your situation. I happen to have an extra Emperor Weapon here, so you can use it for now. However, this treasure belongs to me personally. Once you encounter a suitable opportunity in the future, just return another one to me."

Originally, Luo Feng had intended to reserve this Emperor Weapon for humanity. If he were to give it away, it would most likely end up in Hong's hands, helping Hong seize the Dao.

But these were extraordinary times. The Void Refining Ancient Race might choose to make a move, and Primordial Chaos Heaven still needed top-tier combat power. Thus, he temporarily gave the Emperor Weapon obtained from Asamon to Lord of Fire Devourment.

As Luo Feng spoke, he took out another chain-shaped Emperor Weapon and handed it to Lord of Fire Devourment.

Lord of Fire Devourment accepted the chain, his face lighting up with joy. "Luo Feng, I don't even know what to say in thanks. Thank you. If I obtain another one in the future, I'll definitely return one to you."

To be honest, when he learned that every person who had gone in had obtained an Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure or an Emperor Weapon, he had truly been envious—enough to feel jealousy and resentment. Why had his true body fallen? He had brooded over it for quite some time, and during that period, even cultivation had left him irritated.

After Lord of Fire Devourment received the Emperor Weapon, everyone present now possessed either an Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure or an Emperor Weapon.

"Old Huo, why do I feel like our debt to Luo Feng is only growing?" Wind God joked. "Ever since I owed him half an Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure, not only have I failed to repay it, but I've only ended up owing more. I'm afraid I'll find it hard to ever repay it all."

Lord of Fire Devourment smiled helplessly. "Indeed."

Wasn't that so? He had once defeated Luo Feng in Battle Sky Land and thought that, after seizing the Dao, he would be able to support Luo Feng in the future. Yet who could have expected that after Luo Feng's true body in Primordial Chaos Space entered the Lian Xin Tower, he rarely went out because of Leading Heaven Emperor Lord's affairs? Luo Feng hardly even needed his help anymore.

On Nine Nether Earth, Luo Feng's strength had risen at a staggering pace. Now, in Asura Purgatory, he had completely surpassed them.

Ice God and Bewitching Heart Demon exchanged glances and smiled as well.

"Once you start owing someone, you can never repay it all," Qi Zheng said with a beaming smile.

Speaking of owing Luo Feng, Wind God probably owed him the most, followed by Qi Zheng himself. Back then, Qi Zheng had merely invested a few miserly God Wind Coins that had not been much help. Yet in return, the thing he had wanted to accomplish most had succeeded because of Luo Feng. This Karma was likely impossible for him to repay.

"What can we do? Luo Feng's Emperor Luck is simply too terrifying." Wind God shook his head, then smiled. "When it comes to luck, Luo Feng can probably rival Leading Heaven Emperor Lord."

Hearing this, Azure Profound Monarch could not help laughing. "By your reasoning, my reaching this point is entirely because I benefited from Luo Feng's luck as well."

Wind God and the others did not dare say that outright, but if they knew the entire story, it did seem to be true.

After meeting outside Nine Hells Central City, Azure Profound Monarch's luck had indeed improved. He had even been able to enter the Dark Realm Race Ancestral Land to seize the Dao—and, most importantly, had succeeded.

All of this had begun only after meeting Luo Feng. He had no reason not to believe that Luo Feng had influenced him in some way.

"Hahaha, you really know how to flatter me." Luo Feng laughed as well. "None of this would have been possible if any link among us had been missing, so don't pile all the credit onto me. Of course, if you insist on finding a reason to thank me, I can't say I'd refuse."

As they chatted and laughed, it was clear that they were not overly concerned about the Void Refining Ancient Race.

Even without an Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure, Azure Profound Monarch had not feared their Second Clan Ancestor. Now that he had this treasure, his strength had increased greatly. Even against the First Clan Ancestor, they might not necessarily be afraid. At the very least, they should be able to protect their lives.

Before long, they dispersed.

The Asura Fruits they had obtained did not pose an issue of distribution, so they temporarily kept them for themselves. Luo Feng's shares from his cooperation with Qi Zheng and Wind God had already been divided.

"Old Huo, come find me later," Luo Feng transmitted to Lord of Fire Devourment. Naturally, it was about Asamon.

Asamon was from the Ancient Phoenix Race and was even a Clan Ancestor. The power of his bloodline was an exceedingly precious thing.

Luo Feng quickly returned to Knife River Hall.

Humanity's experts—Yuan Zu, Chaos City Lord, Hong, Lie Gu, Giant Axe, and the rest—now all lived here. Arrays had been set up throughout Knife River Hall. It was completely different from Nine Nether Earth; the living environment here was much better than outside. Even the power of heaven and earth was isolated by the arrays, making this place similar to Primordial Chaos Space.

Over time, Luo Feng had hunted a great number of native lifeforms, and they had all refined the corresponding Netherworld Hearts. They had long since adapted to the environment outside.

One of Luo Feng's weaker avatars got along very well with them.

Upon returning, Luo Feng smiled, thoroughly enjoying this peaceful tranquility. "So this is the meaning of growing stronger. Although I don't know how long I can preserve this peaceful life for you, I'll do my best. As for the Void Refining Ancient Race, I'll make them utterly fear my strength."

Seizing the Dao!

He was determined to do it, and he believed that he could succeed.

At that time, he would truly stand among those at the pinnacle. Only then would he possess the right to speak and the right to survive.

He had originally thought that his true body in this world would only continue advancing toward the pinnacle. Yet after bringing over his family and friends from Primordial Chaos Space, he felt that he had gained another responsibility, another reason to keep moving forward, and an even firmer conviction that he had to succeed in seizing the Dao.

Outside Luo Feng's private residence, Lord of Fire Devourment appeared not long after Luo Feng returned.

"Come in," Luo Feng transmitted.

"You called me here this time because of Asamon of the Ancient Phoenix Race, right?" Lord of Fire Devourment entered the residence and smiled directly. "Luo Feng, this really means I owe you even more."

"Let's go." Luo Feng smiled and directly drew Lord of Fire Devourment into the Star Tower's Suppression Space.

More than half of Asamon's soul had already been devoured by Molosa and the Star Tower Spirit. His current condition was still quite good. Having transformed into his true form, he resembled a massive fire phoenix.

"Master." Seeing Luo Feng enter, Molosa smiled. "This old fellow's soul is incredibly strong. He isn't dead yet, and I'm refining him more and more slowly."

"Blade Demon." Asamon also looked at Luo Feng, his eyes filled with viciousness. During this period, Devouring Life had tortured him terribly. "There is no great enmity between us. I merely tried to seize your treasure and lost. There's no need to torment me like this. Give me a quick death!"

Luo Feng looked at Molosa. By this point, Molosa's soul growth had practically reached its limit. It would be difficult to improve further. Perhaps only seizing the Dao would work, or perhaps he could try using other powers to see whether he could break through the destruction bloodline.

Asamon wielded Flame Power, which was not especially helpful to his Power of Destruction. Someone from the Profound Heaven Emperor Devil Race might have been more useful.

Luo Feng turned his gaze toward Asamon. "Fine. I'll grant your wish!"

Above Asamon, the Star Tower Spirit's power faintly stirred. Then, all-pervading soul power and soul-devouring power descended—

"Ah!"

Asamon could not help letting out a pained roar. His soul power was continuously extracted, and in just a short while, it was completely absorbed by the Star Tower Spirit.

Asamon's true body had already fallen, yet the aura emanating from his body remained powerful. Blazing flames burned across his enormous phoenix body.

Looking at the huge creature, Lord of Fire Devourment sighed. "As expected of the Ancient Phoenix Race. Their use of Flame Power has nearly reached the ultimate extreme. They are far more terrifying than the Fire Xuan Bird Clan."

"This fellow was a Clan Ancestor-level existence. The power of his Emperor Race Bloodline is quite rich," Luo Feng said with a smile.

As he spoke, the Blood Shadow Saber suddenly appeared in Luo Feng's hand. Driven by extreme power, the Blood Shadow Saber shot out and fiercely slashed toward Asamon's body.

Lord of Fire Devourment's eyes lit up upon seeing the might of that strike.

He knew that Luo Feng was powerful, but only now did he truly grasp it in a tangible way.

Boom!

The slash landed. With no consciousness left to defend it, no matter how tough Asamon's body was, it was still cut open.

What surprised Luo Feng was that this wound had been inflicted using an Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure, and Asamon had already fallen. Yet empowered by Flame Power, his body actually showed signs of repairing itself.

The Ancient Phoenix Race's bloodline of Rebirth Through Flames was truly extraordinary.

"Sure enough, once one cultivates flames to a certain level, one can undergo Rebirth Through Flames on one's own." Lord of Fire Devourment's eyes shone with excitement.

He did not cultivate solely in the Flame Dao, so he could not achieve this.

On the other hand, Fen Ge, one of Dao Peak City's lords, could achieve rebirth through flames.

"It is said that the Ancient Phoenix Race can cultivate to the realm of Undying Blood Fire. At that point, they are truly immortal and indestructible. Unless one's power absolutely crushes theirs, they simply cannot be killed."

As Luo Feng spoke, his power entered Asamon's body and extracted the core source blood from his Source Heart. The amount of core source blood was not great. Every Great God Heaven might condense only around ten thousand drops, while a Clan Ancestor-level being would have more than one hundred thousand drops.

A mass of flaming, golden-red blood formed in Luo Feng's hand. There should have been more than one hundred and forty thousand drops, each containing terrifying power.

Luo Feng directly separated half. "Old Huo, take this half."

Lord of Fire Devourment nodded. "I won't say much more in thanks." He immediately accepted the core source blood.

"Take a look at this corpse. You can take some materials from it as well. Just leave some for me," Luo Feng said with a smile.

He still had to look after Fire Emperor, as well as Jin Chuan, Fen Ge, and the other experts in Dao Peak City who comprehended the Flame Dao. To them, these were all supreme treasures.

If Jin Chuan and Fen Ge could obtain even a drop, or acquire some materials from Asamon's body, their strength could advance another step.

"My Emperor Weapon needs part of his power to grow. How about you give me half of his ordinary blood? That way, my Fire Devourment Spear can grow as quickly as possible." Lord of Fire Devourment did not refuse. Restoring his true body had already consumed a vast amount of treasure, and he did not have enough treasures to rapidly nurture his Emperor Weapon.

Luo Feng nodded. "No problem. It's a small matter."

If the Void Refining Ancient Race continued to tear off all pretense, they would only become treasure-delivery boys. Luo Feng was not afraid of lacking treasures. What he feared most was the Void Refining Ancient Race seeking peace and refusing to act, in which case he would have to find another way to obtain treasures.
