"Have you killed a Saint-level?" Luo Feng's expression changed, growing more solemn.

"Yes." Zhan Tianxing nodded. "Though it was only a weaker Saint-level, such a Saint Realm being could still absolutely sweep aside Eternal True Gods. All I can say is that Evil Eye's fourth eye is unimaginably terrifying. It is enough to kill even Saint Realm experts. Without Saint Transformation-level willpower or a soul-type supreme treasure, no Eternal True God is his match."

Luo Feng nodded.

That was right. Evil Eye Domain Lord's will should already be at the peak of the Saint-level. Otherwise, he would not have been able to kill a Saint-level expert.

However, Luo Feng had the Star Tower, and his will was at the pinnacle of the Saint-level. He was not afraid of Evil Eye's fourth eye. In terms of soul and will, Luo Feng countered Evil Eye. What Luo Feng worried about now was whether he could kill Evil Eye if he used the Lie Yuan Technique. If Evil Eye possessed a Saint level soul supreme treasure, that would be the most troublesome matter.

Luo Feng was gambling that Evil Eye did not possess a Saint level soul supreme treasure.

Even if he were forced to use the Lie Yuan Technique, Evil Eye, without a Saint level soul supreme treasure, absolutely would not be able to withstand the current Lie Yuan Technique. Even if he did not die, he would have to fall unconscious. At that point, Luo Feng could kill him with ease.

"I understand. Thank you, Pavilion Lord Tianxing, for the special warning. If I fight him, I believe I am still confident in preserving my life," Luo Feng said.

"Confident?" Zhan Tianxing looked at Luo Feng. He was no fool. Since Luo Feng dared say this, he was clearly not as simple as the fifth-rank strength Zhan Tianxing had seen. He nodded. "You already know Evil Eye's terror. Since you are confident in preserving your life, I will not say more. But I must remind you that you must choose a location outside the city for this battle. If it takes place in the battle zone, with the arrays empowering it, once a life-and-death battle is agreed upon, neither side will be able to escape. One side must die."

Luo Feng nodded. He knew this as well. The battle zone was essentially a super prison. Even Saint-level experts could not break it open. Once it became a life-and-death battle, only when one side died could the other leave.

"This is my communication token. You are a member of Humanity. If you can survive, I hope you can join my Xihe Kingdom. My Xihe Kingdom is a nation older and more vast than the You Mountain Empire. Humanity leads it, and its founding ruler is the Xi Emperor, renowned throughout the Origin Continent. The depth of Xihe Kingdom's foundations far exceeds your imagination."

He knew Luo Feng was no ordinary person. Yet even after learning of Evil Eye's strength, Luo Feng still dared claim confidence in preserving his life. This made Zhan Tianxing want to recruit him. If his branch had more experts, it would naturally have a stronger voice. It would even give him greater confidence when competing for the position of clan leader in the future.

Zhan Tianxing had set out to train and adventure the moment he became an Eternal True God in order to gain greater strength. One day, when he returned to the clan, he wanted to compete for the position of clan leader. Of course, he also hoped to meet and recruit some powerful experts, especially Saint Realm experts. If he could gain the support of Saint Realm experts, his status within the clan would naturally rise.

Galaxy before him was not in the Saint Realm, but if he could survive Evil Eye's hands, the meaning would be entirely different. Evil Eye had killed Saint Realm experts before. Surviving against such a powerhouse meant possessing a means of staying alive against Saint Realm experts. Even if such a powerhouse was inferior to the Saint Realm, the gap would not be great. Given time, he might become a great power in his own right.

"Of course, it all depends on your wishes. If you are interested, you may contact me at any time," Zhan Tianxing added.

"Xihe Kingdom? I'll consider it." Records from the Duandong River Lineage flashed through Luo Feng's mind. They contained records of Xihe Kingdom. During the Duandong River Lineage era, Xihe Kingdom had possessed six God King-level existences, three of whom were among the strongest. As for Saint Realm experts, there had been dozens, perhaps over a hundred. Its national strength made it one of the peak powers on the Origin Continent.

Before Xihe Kingdom, the You Mountain Empire truly fell a notch short.

After chatting briefly, Zhan Tianxing took his leave.

Watching Zhan Tianxing depart, Luo Feng secretly sighed. He had not expected Zhan Tianxing to come from Humanity's Xihe Kingdom.

Still, it was not surprising. Between great nations, only the top-tier or exceptionally promising combatants regarded national borders as sensitive and clearly defined. For those at the Saint Realm and above, every great nation sought ways to bind such combatants to itself. Only then could it maintain its status as a nation. As for Eternal True Gods and those below them, so long as they did not associate with hostile nations, the higher-ups generally would not interfere excessively.

Of course, someone like the Azure City Lord was different. That meant he belonged to the You Mountain Empire's side. So long as he remained in that position, when great nations clashed or important interests were involved, the You Mountain Empire's interests had to come first. Any betrayal would bring pursuit from the You Mountain Empire.

"Evil Eye, I must defeat him."

The news that Evil Eye could kill Saint-level experts did not make Luo Feng shrink back.

When he had first arrived on the Origin Continent, Evil Eye Domain Lord had wanted to make a move against him. However, Montanaro had been too weak and had failed instead. Thus, there was not truly any conflict between Luo Feng and Evil Eye. But Luo Feng knew that if he wanted to establish himself on the Origin Continent and obtain more resources, relying on himself alone would not work. The best method was to join a superpower and have a reliable backer to support him.

Right now, the position of Azure Domain Lord was perfect.

Once he became the Azure Domain Lord, he would count as one of the You Mountain Empire's upper ranks.

At regular intervals, the You Mountain Empire assigned missions to the lords of the nine great domains. At the same time, it offered opportunities for training and obtaining fortuitous encounters. This was similar to Humanity. With the You Mountain Empire behind him, obtaining cultivation resources in the future would surely become much easier.

Time flowed on.

Luo Feng mainly spent his time fusing laws and comprehending the mysteries of the Time Origin. At other times, he occasionally attempted to activate the fifth level of the Chaos Golden Wings, and occasionally converted his new fusion insights into saber techniques. By mutually verifying them, his progress became faster.

In the blink of an eye, one Yuan quietly passed.

For Luo Feng, however, ten thousand epochs had passed. During this period, apart from Pavilion Lord Tianxing's single visit, no one else disturbed him.

After ten thousand epochs, Luo Feng's strength had improved, though not by much. He still could not activate the fifth level of the Chaos Golden Wings. It felt as though something was missing.

The later stages of law fusion became increasingly difficult. It was common not to improve even after hundreds of millions of Yuan. The only thing that had progressed was the Destruction Origin. After sparring with Morosa in the Star Tower many times, Luo Feng's comprehension of the Destruction Origin had improved somewhat, benefiting his overall strength as well.

After fusing in a stronger Destruction Origin, the saber technique "First Arrival" had advanced from the original peak fifth rank into the sixth-rank level. As for "Water and Fire Scorch Heaven," Luo Feng felt it had barely reached the seventh-rank standard. With the Blood Shadow Blade's enhancement, his overall strength should reach the middle eighth-rank level.

An Eternal True God's eighth-rank combat power was still far weaker than peak eighth rank, but holding one off for a while would not be a problem.

However, at this stage, Luo Feng's greatest reliance was not just the Blood Shadow Blade, but also the Chaos Golden Wings.

Unlike the Star-Seizing Hand, Luo Feng's Chaos Golden Wings possessed a domain, excelled at speed, and was also good at attacking. It was nearly all-rounded. The Star-Seizing Hand focused more on attack. Its amplification was so great that even sixth-rank strength could probably unleash power close to the ninth rank. Its drawback was the consumption of divine power.

The Chaos Golden Wings, on the other hand, emphasized versatility. Its amplification was not so exaggerated, but with Luo Feng's seventh-rank saber technique, it could still raise his strength to peak eighth rank.

Luo Feng had been an Eternal True God for so long, yet he had never completely unleashed the power of the Chaos Golden Wings in their complete form.

"Phew."

Luo Feng opened his eyes and stopped cultivating.

"One Yuan has arrived. I wonder whether Evil Eye has returned." Luo Feng looked forward to his battle with Evil Eye. The stronger Evil Eye was, the better!

This would be his strongest battle since his fight with the World Beast Mohe...

Azure City.

As one epoch passed, the matter of Galaxy's impending battle with the Domain Lord gradually drew everyone's attention.

Even in the past few years, the number of powerful experts in Azure City had visibly increased. Many renowned experts from the Azure Domain had begun appearing in Azure City, including super existences such as City Lord Jing from Jing City and the Demonstone City Lord from Demonstone City.

Inside the Azure City Lord's residence.

As soon as many of Evil Eye's old rivals arrived in Azure City, they went to pay him visits and exchange greetings. Yet Evil Eye remained as leisurely as ever, as though he did not take this challenge seriously at all.

"Hmph. These old foxes are all eyeing my position, yet none of them dares challenge me. Compared with that Human called Galaxy, I truly look down on them." Evil Eye lightly tapped the armrest of his throne. "But soon. My true body will return in another month. Then I'll make you completely despair. You regard me as an opponent, but I have never regarded you as a threat. This position of Domain Lord is merely a transition for me... My goal is the Saint Realm, and even the God King!"

Evil Eye came from the Universe Ocean. His sights were far higher than those Eternal True Gods.

What he wanted was Saint Transformation, even becoming a lofty God King, then establishing a kingdom of his own.

"If I could also seize possession of the Primal Universe, I would probably have achieved Saint Transformation long ago. My strength would also be greater than my teacher's now," Evil Eye secretly sighed.

"Still, this Galaxy is one of the two Montanaro encountered before. Both are Eternal True Gods, so they should not have transcended reincarnation." As Evil Eye thought this, he could not help shaking his head.

He had truly never heard of an Eternal True God passing through reincarnation.
