Taking the initiative

Taking in two early Four-Origin Saint Realm beings also gave Luo Feng a bit more manpower. At this stage, two Four-Origin Saint Realm beings were still quite useful.

Luo Feng suddenly thought that if he built an army of servants of his own, wouldn't that be even better?

Kadir and Kakelong were the beginning of that army.

"During the fight, I sensed several divine consciousnesses watching us. The other Saint Realm beings probably already know what happened here and likely won't dare cause us trouble. Next, we'll take the initiative and capture them one by one. We need enough deterrence on this Floating Sand Island." Luo Feng looked over his servants and spoke slowly.

Luo Feng had ambitions of his own.

Since he could do it, why not?!

He had faced countless restrictions in the You Mountain Empire, but here, Luo Feng could increase his strength as quickly as possible. Only with sufficient strength could he match everything he now possessed.

Whether it was his identity as the Shadow God King's disciple, the God King-level Star Tower and Blood Shadow Blade, or the title of World Beast King, any one of these could become a bomb. Once exposed, they would inevitably trigger a crisis. Only with enough strength could he deal with those hidden dangers.

"Master, within ten light-years of this area, there is only one person we need to watch out for: Six-Armed Spear King Tablo. He is extremely powerful and has comprehended the mysteries of the five origins of metal, fire, space, time, and light to perfection. Even if my brother and I joined forces, we would be far from his match. He does not bear much killing intent toward us either. Otherwise, the other four of us would have long since died beneath his spear," Kadir said.

"Six-Armed Spear King Tablo?" Luo Feng firmly committed that name to memory.

With strength approaching the six-origin level, an expert like that would generally have extremely well-rounded defenses. If he possessed a Saint-level soul treasure, then even Luo Feng's supreme secret technique, the Lie Yuan Technique, would certainly be useless.

A Saint-level soul treasure combined with peak Saint-level will would greatly weaken the Lie Yuan Technique.

"What about the other three? What are their strengths, and what do they specialize in?" Luo Feng was more concerned about the other three Saint Realm beings.

"Reporting to Master, among the other three, two are mid Four-Origin, and one is high Four-Origin."

"The two mid Four-Origin beings are Holy Master Yimen and Tuo Zezi. Holy Master Yimen has comprehended the four origins of wood, water, space, and wind. He comes from the Azure Hill Kingdom and is exceptionally skilled in soul illusions. Tuo Zezi uses twin hammers and has comprehended the origins of earth, metal, water, and space. His great hammers are incredibly powerful, and his secret technique has an extremely high degree of fusion with the mysteries of the earth origin. He has the highest attainments I have ever seen."

"The high Four-Origin one is called Fan Gao, known to outsiders as the Iron Fan Prince. He has comprehended the origins of metal, wind, time, and space. Rumor has it that he comes from the Songlin Kingdom's royal family and possesses an enormous number of treasures. Tablo has fought him before, but Tablo could do nothing to him." Kadir relayed everything he knew.

"Holy Master Yimen, Tuo Zezi, Fan Gao." Luo Feng nodded lightly. Only Fan Gao seemed troublesome to him. A member of the Songlin Kingdom's royal family, with so many treasures... "Fan Gao is a walking treasury. If we can kill him, Morosa could probably nurture quite a few Saint-level warriors."

Luo Feng muttered to himself. Naturally, he was tempted, though he was also somewhat wary of the background behind Fan Gao.

"We'll split into two groups. First, we'll deal with Holy Master Yimen and Tuo Zezi, then we'll see whether we can take care of Fan Gao as well. Tie Nanhe, go with the Kadir brothers to find Tuo Zezi. Remember, capture him alive." Luo Feng made his decision. Since he had decided, they naturally had to act immediately.

"Yes!" Tie Nanhe, Kadir, and Kakelong answered in unison.

After Luo Feng made his decision, he headed toward Holy Master Yimen with Morosa, while Tie Nanhe and the Kadir brothers headed toward Tuo Zezi.

Holy Master Yimen, Tuo Zezi, and the others had been closely watching that battle. When they discovered that even the Kadir brothers had been captured alive, they naturally regarded Luo Feng's group as a major threat. Only Tablo and Fan Gao did not take it too seriously. One had overwhelming raw strength, while the other had many treasures and considerable strength of his own. Naturally, neither feared them.

Yet they never could have imagined that, after they withdrew their probes, Luo Feng's group would immediately make their move again, targeting Holy Master Yimen and Tuo Zezi separately.

At that moment, Holy Master Yimen was cultivating within his residence, utterly unaware that the human he had just fought was coming for him.

Until...

A faint spatial ripple spread out.

"Who?" Holy Master Yimen instantly appeared above his residence, his gaze locking tightly onto Luo Feng and Morosa.

"It's you!" Holy Master Yimen's expression changed slightly.

"It's us." Luo Feng looked at Holy Master Yimen before him. He somewhat resembled a human, like a foxman. He was quite handsome, and his eyes carried a natural charm. Anyone with weaker willpower would probably find themselves unable to resist feeling favorably toward him.

"What? You captured the Kadir brothers, and now you want to enslave me too?" Holy Master Yimen watched Luo Feng and Morosa warily, a trace of disdain at the corner of his lips. "Do you think I'm one of those two fools from the Three-Handed Race? You think the two of you can deal with me? Keep dreaming!"

The moment he finished speaking, Holy Master Yimen transformed into a streak of light and fled without the slightest hesitation.

How could he not run?

He had seen Morosa attack. Morosa's strength was definitely not limited to mid Four-Origin. Holy Master Yimen was not afraid of Morosa, but he feared Luo Feng's soul-and-will attack. The soul attack that could directly make Kakelong collapse was terrifying even to someone skilled in soul illusions like him. He did not have confidence in withstanding it, so he naturally chose to flee immediately.

"Morosa, attack!" Luo Feng ordered.

Morosa's World Domain had long since sealed off the surrounding area within a radius of one light-year. The World Domain, filled with an aura of destruction, was even stronger than Holy Master Yimen's Chaos Domain.

Although Morosa possessed only the Destruction Origin, it was not merely the mysteries of the Destruction Origin, but true power of the Destruction Origin itself. Its might was naturally terrifyingly strong. Morosa had grown to this point, and even without truly using the power of the origin, his strength was absolutely not inferior to mid Four-Origin. Dealing with another mid Four-Origin being was naturally easy.

"What kind of Chaos Domain is this? How can it be this strong with only one type of origin power?" Only when Holy Master Yimen experienced it personally did he realize how terrifying this domain was. His own Chaos Domain was enhanced by the mysteries of four origins, yet he was still suppressed. His escape speed was far slower than Morosa's pursuit speed.

"You want to enslave me? Dream on!" Holy Master Yimen laughed loudly. His entire body suddenly emitted dazzling radiance, then exploded outright, transforming into a hundred thousand white spirit foxes. Each became a streak of brilliant white light and fled in all directions at speeds exceeding ten thousand times the speed of light.

"Master, even the domain can't suppress his escape," Morosa transmitted anxiously.

The spirit foxes formed by Holy Master Yimen were each nearly illusory and had completely fused with his Chaos Domain. Borrowing the power of his own Chaos Domain, they were like fish entering water, unbelievably fast. No matter how Morosa suppressed them, it seemed to have no effect.

"Impressive!" Luo Feng exclaimed. He could sense that those spirit foxes were already being suppressed, yet they still maintained such speed. Catching them was impossible.

This was somewhat similar to Donghua. When Luo Feng used Donghua at a disadvantage, even a Saint Realm being's Chaos Domain could not stop him.

"Forget it. Spare his life for now. Let's go meet up with Tie Nanhe's group." Faced with such an escape technique, Luo Feng had no solution.

"Yes, Master." Morosa immediately withdrew the World Domain.

"Hmph!"

Once the suppression was gone, every spirit fox's speed instantly surged to tens of thousands of times the speed of light. After they reassembled, Holy Master Yimen snorted coldly at Luo Feng before vanishing with a teleport.

"Let's go." Luo Feng ignored him.

Morosa wrapped Luo Feng in divine power and vanished with a teleport as well. When they reappeared, they had already arrived in Tuo Zezi's territory.

Luo Feng's gaze fell upon Tuo Zezi, the twin-hammer wielder in the distance, who was currently fighting Tie Nanhe and the other two.

"This Tuo Zezi truly is formidable. With only a pair of hammers, he can actually withstand the joint assault of three people." Luo Feng watched as Tuo Zezi wielded his twin hammers with consummate skill. His hammer technique had thoroughly fused with the origin mysteries he had comprehended. Even against the offensive of three opponents, he had merely fallen slightly behind.

Moreover, Tie Nanhe, who feared neither pain nor injury, was tightly entangling him and creating opportunities for Kadir and Kakelong. Yet Tuo Zezi could still withstand the attacks from both Kadir and Kakelong.

"Damn human, you were the one who ordered them to surround me. You want to enslave me too?" Tuo Zezi sensed the spatial fluctuation and noticed Luo Feng and Morosa outside the spatial blockade, glaring at Luo Feng in fury.

"Morosa, attack." Luo Feng ignored Tuo Zezi.

In an instant, the World Domain descended, reinforcing the Chaos Domains of Kadir and Kakelong.

"What?!" Tuo Zezi, who had already been at a disadvantage, was instantly alarmed and enraged. Under the further suppression, he could not even display half his strength.

"Damn human!" Tuo Zezi completely panicked. He did not want to die, but he wanted even less to be enslaved.

Morosa watched Tuo Zezi struggle without paying him any heed. He turned into a streak of light and charged directly at him.

"Despicable human, you want to enslave me? Impossible!" Tuo Zezi was unwilling to become anyone's servant. To him, dignity outweighed everything. With a savage grin, his face filled with madness, he said, "Even if I die, one of you will die with me. Since you aren't afraid of death, then it'll be you!"

Tuo Zezi went completely mad, burning his divine power to the limit. He abandoned all resistance and instead used his legs and arms to lock Tie Nanhe down completely.

"Come on, let's die together. Explode!" Tuo Zezi's crazed voice rang out. Then they saw—

A ball of light as dazzling as the Sun Star flare up from Tuo Zezi's location, followed by an earth-shaking roar that resounded through heaven and earth—

Boom!

Luo Feng had never experienced the self-destruction of a Saint Realm expert.

At that moment, whether it was the blinding light, the thunderous sound, or the violent shockwave, everything far surpassed any self-destruction Luo Feng had witnessed before. He knew a Saint Realm expert's self-destruction would be powerful, but he had not expected it to reach such a level. Even separated from the explosion's center by an immense distance, Luo Feng felt that the shockwave before him possessed power comparable to an eighth-stage Eternal True God.

One had to know that Luo Feng was nearly one light-year away from the center of the explosion, and the shockwave had been heavily weakened by three layers of domains.

By Luo Feng's estimate, the self-destruction's power was likely at least two and a half levels above Tuo Zezi's usual peak strength.

In other words, the power of that self-destruction had at minimum reached the level of a high Five-Origin Saint Realm being, perhaps even higher.

Naturally, Tie Nanhe bore the brunt of the self-destruction's power, followed by Kadir and Kakelong. The instant Kadir and Kakelong were struck, they immediately defended themselves, but they discovered that even their divine bodies had lost nearly ten percent.

Of course, what worried them most was Tie Nanhe. He had been at the center of the explosion. Under such power, even if they had survived, their divine bodies would have suffered grievous damage.

"Tie Nanhe!" Yet when they saw Tie Nanhe, they froze in shock and cried out, "This... how is this possible? Not harmed at all?"
