Devouring a Saint Realm

Boom!

Mad Demon only felt his head roar, followed by a blankness. He instantly fell unconscious, completely losing awareness.

All of a sudden, the nine-tiered Star Tower appeared above Mad Demon and directly took him in.

At that moment, Luo Feng also had Morosa remove the barrier. The countless foreign races watching the battle had merely felt their vision obscured for a moment before everything returned to normal.

Yet only Luo Feng in his white battle robe and Morosa in silver armor remained where they were. The exotic beast Saint Realm expert, Mad Demon, had already vanished.

With a single teleportation, Morosa arrived before City Lord Jing. He reached out with one hand and grabbed him as easily as an eagle catching a chick. City Lord Jing could not move at all.

"Master." Morosa brought City Lord Jing before Luo Feng.

City Lord Jing had been captured, but he remained conscious. Hearing Morosa's voice and looking at Luo Feng, his heart was already in turmoil. This Saint Realm expert before him was actually merely Galaxy's servant? He had not seen how Mad Demon disappeared, but it was obvious that Mad Demon had either died or fallen into Galaxy's hands.

In an instant, endless regret surged through his heart.

"Take him back first," Luo Feng ordered.

Morosa wrapped Luo Feng in divine power, and with a single teleportation, they disappeared.

The surrounding spectators gradually recovered from their shock. Those who should leave began to depart, while only a small number who had gained some insight during the battle chose to enter seclusion on the spot under the protection of their fellow disciples.

This battle was destined to make Galaxy famous throughout Canglan.

Galaxy Domain Lord had first easily defeated the challenger, City Lord Jing. Then, a Saint Realm expert had attacked in an attempt to kill Galaxy Domain Lord, but Galaxy Domain Lord endured several moves from the Saint Realm expert without suffering any harm. In the end, Galaxy Domain Lord summoned a silver-armored Saint Realm expert, who fought that Saint Realm expert for tens of millions of exchanges, ending with the latter's mysterious disappearance.

They all speculated that the Saint Realm expert had actually been completely slain. As for how he had been killed, none of them knew; they had only differing guesses.

Like a hurricane, this news swept through the entire Azure Domain and rapidly spread to other domains as well.

Galaxy Domain Lord's prestige was quietly recognized by the Azure Domain as the greatest among the nine domains. As for the other eight domains, they likely acknowledged Canglan Domain as the foremost as well.

Luo Feng did not care much about any of this. The position of domain lord was merely a process.

Within the Star Tower's sealed space.

The captured Mad Demon was imprisoned there.

As for City Lord Jing, he had long since become part of Morosa's origin.

"Palace Master Lihua wanted to kill me, but she never expected that the person she hired would fall into my hands, did she?" Luo Feng smiled lightly as he looked at the completely sealed Mad Demon.

Mad Demon had also calmed down by then. His scarlet eyes stared at Luo Feng, and he was utterly convinced.

He still clearly remembered that divine eye. With merely one glance, he had instantly lost consciousness. The human before him was far more terrifying than an Eternal True God appeared to be. In terms of willpower, most Saint Realm experts were likely inferior to him.

He had never even heard of an Eternal True God possessing such a terrifying secret technique.

"Why not kill me directly? Why seal and imprison me here instead? This sealing treasure of yours is at least Saint level, isn't it?" Mad Demon asked.

"I will definitely kill you. But killing you directly would be letting you off too easily."

During Mad Demon's unconsciousness, Luo Feng had also investigated him. Mad Demon had only one true body and did not possess a heaven-defying life-preserving secret technique like Undying River.

Luo Feng had considered enslaving him directly, but he looked forward more to Morosa's growth. By devouring a Saint Realm expert, Morosa's strength would likely increase as well.

"Morosa, I'll leave him to you. Enjoy your meal!"

Upon hearing Luo Feng's words, Morosa's eyes lit up. To him, Mad Demon was an incomparably delicious meal.

"Come on!"

Black, elongated tentacles formed one after another from Morosa's body and shot toward Mad Demon. They wrapped around each other, quickly forming a huge black egg around him.

Inside the giant egg, Mad Demon only felt thread-like tentacles seep into his body. Then he discovered that his divine power and soul power were being drained away at a terrifying speed.

"No!"

Mad Demon was terrified. He had never seen such a method capable of draining divine power and the soul, but under the suppression of God King level power, his entire body was in unbearable pain. Though he wanted to struggle, he could not move at all, and could only let his divine power and soul be stripped away bit by bit.

At that moment, he felt the fear of death as well, and he regretted everything beyond measure.

In merely half a day.

Mad Demon was already on his last breath. Yet at the final moment before death, he could only roar in fury within his subconscious, placing the most vicious curse upon Palace Master Lihua.

"Delicious."

Morosa withdrew his tentacles. Everything returned to calm, while Mad Demon had been completely erased from this world.

"Master, after eating this meal, my strength should increase considerably. And as long as I spend some more time, I can nurture my first Saint-level warrior," Morosa said bashfully.

"Good!" Luo Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled.

Mad Demon was, after all, a Four-Origin Saint Realm expert. One of him was worth several First Source Saint Realm experts. If that still could not nurture a Saint-level warrior, it would be a joke.

In Luo Feng's plan, he would first nurture several powerful Saint-level warriors before creating a World Beast army. During the early stages, Luo Feng did not dare expose Morosa, so a large number of World Beast warriors would not be very useful. A few individual Saint-level warriors, on the other hand, would be far more useful.

For example... if he had Saint-level warriors, he could have them deal with Mad Demon. There would be no need to risk exposing Morosa.

Saint Realm experts could not tell that Morosa was a World Beast, but God Kings might not fail to see through him.

"Here are some materials as well, all obtained from Mad Demon. See whether you can nurture two Saint-level warriors." With a wave of Luo Feng's hand, a small mountain of materials appeared before him. The various materials were worth seventy or eighty thousand Qiankun Units in total, nearly equal to Evil Eye's entire fortune.

Of course, Mad Demon's wealth was not limited to that. The greater portion was still with Luo Feng, consisting of precious treasures. If they were exchanged at the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, they would likely fetch another hundred thousand-plus Qiankun Units.

"Master, according to normal calculations, after devouring these materials, I can nurture one Saint-level warrior equivalent to Mid-tier Third Source. If they are High-tier Second Source warriors, I can nurture one and a half, nearly two. If they are High-tier First Source warriors, I can nurture at least three. As for Early-stage First Source warriors, I can nurture around six," Morosa said.

"Let's first nurture a Mid-tier Third Source one. As for the others, we'll think of a way later." Luo Feng did not hesitate. Before he could expose Morosa, quality mattered more than quantity.

Killing an Early-stage Four-Origin Saint Realm Mad Demon and adding some materials was enough to nurture a Mid-tier Third Source warrior. This was truly an unexpected delight. With a Mid-tier Third Source warrior as a guard, there should be no problem preserving his life within the You Mountain Empire.

From Mad Demon's memories, Luo Feng had also learned that Palace Master Lihua was an Early-stage Fifth Source Saint Realm expert. However, she specialized in soul illusions, and in that aspect, she rivaled Sixth Source Saint Realm experts.

However, Luo Feng possessed the Star Tower, and his willpower was also close to the Saint Realm limit. This happened to counter Palace Master Lihua.

As long as he remained within You Mountain, Luo Feng was not particularly afraid of Palace Master Lihua.

Because even Palace Master Lihua could not kill Luo Feng silently. If she could not kill him through illusions, she would not dare act within the city at all.

Furthermore, Luo Feng would have a World Beast warrior equivalent to Mid-tier Third Source. World Beast warriors had no souls or wills of their own and were not afraid of illusion attacks. It was purely a fearless death warrior. Facing a World Beast warrior unafraid of death, even Palace Master Lihua would likely suffer a tremendous headache.

More importantly, Palace Master Lihua was currently carrying out a mission elsewhere and would not return until a full cycle era had passed. She was not within You Mountain. By the time a cycle era had passed, Luo Feng would likely no longer fear her at all.

Over the following period, Morosa began nurturing World Beast warriors with all his strength, while Luo Feng sorted through the many insights he had gained after his battle with Mad Demon.

Luo Feng had benefited immensely from fighting Mad Demon.

Luo Feng had also been able to observe and comprehend Morosa's battle with Mad Demon from the closest possible distance, and it stirred many thoughts within him. In particular, amidst countless collisions of inspiration regarding the mysteries of the Time Origin and Destruction Origin, Luo Feng felt that he could comprehend even more mysteries.

After comprehending the Time Origin, Luo Feng felt that time was actually no different from other origins such as the Destruction Origin. In a sense, it was also a form of power. It was only that people had habitually used it to measure changes in the past, present, and future.

But the essence of time was—

Time was everywhere. Like metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, it merely manifested differently.

Before comprehending it, Luo Feng had believed that time should be a whole. Whether it was the time of the universe, the time of the Universe Ocean, or the time of the Origin Continent, it was all one whole. Places where time acceleration could be achieved did so because they isolated the influence of other temporal powers.

But now, in Luo Feng's view, time could be one whole, yet it could also be divided into separate entities.

Time in every location could differ.

For example—

The trajectory of a blade strike, from its starting point to its endpoint, took a certain duration.

But if the power of the Time Origin acted upon the blade, the blade could become so fast that this duration could be ignored. The beginning would be the end. The speed of this strike would be as though it had never passed through "time."

Time's "fast" was like this; slowness was the opposite.

From Mad Demon's battle with Morosa, Luo Feng had also clearly sensed that when Mad Demon blocked Morosa's attacks, he seemed strange yet relaxed. This involved the "slowness" mystery of the Time Origin. Under the effect of the Time Origin, Morosa's scepter appeared somewhat slower in Mad Demon's eyes than it did normally, allowing him to evade with ease...

Within the Inheritance Space.

Luo Feng swung the Blood Shadow Blade again and again, comprehending the "fast" and "slow" mysteries of the Time Origin.

The blade light seemed fast yet slow, or slow yet fast, appearing incomparably strange.

First Arrival and Water and Fire Scorch Heaven originally contained the laws of time. Now that the laws of time had advanced another step and reached the level of Time Origin mysteries, the power of these two moves had risen directly to another level in Luo Feng's hands.

First Arrival had originally only been a sixth-tier blade technique, but after the laws of time transformed into the power of the Time Origin, this move was forcefully elevated to the seventh tier.

The seventh-tier Water and Fire Scorch Heaven likewise reached the eighth tier.

The eighth tier for an Eternal True God possessed power equivalent to fusing at least nine laws. Yet relying on his comprehension of laws and the superficial mysteries of two origins, Luo Feng could achieve this as well.
