“God-Monarch Luohe, please continue to guard the forbidden area. The Food Nation may return for a sneak attack at any time,” responded Mo Lixiao. “Currently, various forces from the Food Nation are launching attacks within Huyang City. Once the entire city calms down, God-Monarch Luohe will have completed this employment.”

“Alright,” Luo Feng replied.

He understood that, on one hand, the City Lord’s Manor had detailed arrangements and ample defensive power, so he wasn’t needed to help. On the other hand, as an employed individual, the City Lord’s Manor had limited trust in him.

“I still wanted to fight a few more experts, what a pity.” Luo Feng stepped back to guard the entrance of the forbidden area’s main hall, beginning to reflect on the battle he had just fought.

Yu Tianyi’s divine power was far inferior to his, and the ‘Ice Power’ she unleashed with the aid of her mechanical-stream secret treasure was also weaker than his perfect divine body.

“Her blade technique…” Luo Feng recalled, “It had a very profound effect on space, different from the influence the Myriad Realms Escape Token had on space.”

Luo Feng pondered and comprehended.

The path to ‘Chaos Law’ was not easy. Having only been an Eternal True God for over twenty epochs, Luo Feng’s accumulation of realm was far inferior to that of Yu Tianyi, Yu Tianhu, and Blood Cloud.

Luo Feng would draw experience from his opponents to grow faster.

“Our forbidden area has won! The other two forbidden areas are still in battle.” The Jin Xiao Legion, the Three Swords Sky-Splitting Beast, and the Blade-Wing Devouring Worm were also communicating, feeling much more relaxed.

“Fortunately, we had God-Monarch Luohe. Otherwise, relying on ourselves, we might have needed to call for reinforcements.”

“God-Monarch Luohe truly kept his word, even slaying several Eternal True Gods from the Food Nation!”

“That Eternal True God who wielded lightning should have had a mechanical-stream treasure, and it also fell into God-Monarch Luohe’s hands.”

“Earning one or two million Cosmic Sands was truly effortless for God-Monarch Luohe.”

They communicated telepathically, filled with envy.

Although the City Lord’s Manor believed the possibility of God-Monarch Luohe betraying them was extremely low, they still had a backup plan! Should God-Monarch Luohe betray them, the City Lord’s Manor would immediately mobilize forces for support.

“Boom!” “Boom!”

In the night sky, two colossal figures clashed in battle.

On one side was Mo Lixiao, piloting the legion’s mechanical secret treasure, the ‘Six-Armed Divine Owl,’ while on the other was Yu Tianhu’s colossal true form. Yu Tianhu had already ignited his divine power, wielding a long staff.

As the two sides collided, their power seemed to make heaven and earth tremble.

“This Yu Tianhu is truly worthy of being the leader of the Five Yu Tian Gods! His divine body cultivation has reached an unimaginable level; even an ‘Infinite Divine Body’ might not surpass this.” Mo Lixiao was quite shocked. “Even with me piloting the legion and aided by Huyang City’s formations, I can only barely injure him!”

Yu Tianhu didn’t defend at all, attacking with every move, as fierce and violent as a cataclysmic collision of heaven and earth! His divine body instantly recovered from minor injuries.

Mo Lixiao also had a headache for a moment.

“Even God-Monarch Blood Cloud only had an advantage in realm against me; he couldn’t threaten my divine body at all.” Yu Tianhu was very confident. Possessing what could be called the most terrifying divine body at the Eternal True God level, and having cultivated his divine power burning technique to an extremely high realm, Yu Tianhu was fearless when he unleashed his full power.

“Yu Tianhu, retreat,” God-Monarch Blood Cloud suddenly messaged.

“Retreat?” Yu Tianhu questioned, messaging back, “Why retreat?”

“Yu Tianyi’s side failed, and I’ve encountered General Yonghu from the Royal Capital of the Yu Nation here. I need to escape too. If you don’t retreat… you might be besieged. Retreat quickly,” God-Monarch Blood Cloud replied.

Although God-Monarch Blood Cloud served Marquis Liuyin of the Food Nation, he had never truly fought desperately during his long time in Huyang City! At most, he only displayed half of his strength, which was, of course, enough to deter Huyang City and demand a large amount of resources from Marquis Liuyin.

“In the conflict between the two nations, their behind-the-scenes forces are inexhaustible. The more I expose, the heavier the tasks I’ll bear, and the stronger the opponents I’ll face. I might even die one day.”

“Hiding some strength allows one to live longer! My goal isn’t to fight for the Food Nation, but to acquire resources to break through to the Chaos realm.” God-Monarch Blood Cloud was very clear about what he wanted.

On the Origin Continent, generally every large city had several super-strong Eternal True Gods! However, God-Monarch Blood Cloud didn’t pay them any mind; his accumulation in realm had long reached an unfathomable level.

Even Yu Tianhu and Yu Tianyi believed… he should have one foot in the Chaos realm.

“I cultivate both bloodline and laws, and I’ve even comprehended nine Chaos realm techniques. Even looking at all Eternal True Gods in the entire Food Nation, it would be hard to find someone stronger than me in terms of realm alone. Yet, despite all this, I still haven’t broken through.” God-Monarch Blood Cloud looked at the terrifying entity before him. “This time in Huyang City, I’ve finally encountered someone whose strength is no less than mine.”

The three forbidden areas were guarded by Luo Feng, Mo Lixiao, and the white-haired old man, respectively.

General Yonghu was a hidden force. After the three forbidden areas were attacked, General Yonghu chose to assault ‘God-Monarch Blood Cloud’ because God-Monarch Blood Cloud’s burst of strength this time was quite terrifying, already threatening the forbidden areas.

“You won’t escape today!” General Yonghu’s killing intent surged.

He cultivated the Infinite Divine Body, making him an exceptionally talented Eternal True God throughout the Yu Nation, highly valued by the God King! He had also learned numerous God King techniques, reaching an extremely high level in his realm and comprehending Chaos realm techniques.

With the Infinite Divine Body, God King inheritances, mastery in realm, willpower, and powerful weapons and treasures, General Yong had no weaknesses.

“This Blood Cloud’s divine body is not as strong as mine.” General Yong’s killing intent was intense. “However, his accumulation in realm is actually above mine, and his various techniques are elusive and unpredictable. Fortunately, with the aid of Huyang City’s formations, there’s hope of slaying him today.”

Without Huyang City’s formations, General Yong would have been unable to do anything to him.

“General Yong, you’re merely taking advantage of the formations,” God-Monarch Blood Cloud said with a light smile, then his body suddenly transformed into surging waves of blood, instantly sweeping across a vast surrounding area.

Luo Feng could also transform into a river of blood with the aid of his mechanical-stream secret treasure, the ‘River of Life Blood’.

However, God-Monarch Blood Cloud had combined several Chaos realm techniques, allowing him to completely transform his divine body into endless waves of blood. In terms of the profoundness of its application, it was far superior to Luo Feng’s pure control of his mechanical-stream secret treasure.

“Hmm?” General Yong was startled.

“Suppress!”

General Yong roared, and a colossal illusory seal descended from the night sky, violently striking the blood waves below, causing a portion of them to dissipate.

The remaining vast majority of the blood waves surged outwards in all directions, instantly engulfing an area spanning hundreds of millions of miles! All living beings within this range, whether resident True Gods or Void True Gods, were completely swallowed up, and the blood wave’s reach continued to expand.

“Presumptuous,” General Yong’s expression changed. This single wave of blood had devoured over a billion living beings.

“General Yong, I admit you have more treasures than I, and the formations aid you. If this continues, I won’t escape. But when you finally kill me, how many living beings do you think I can slaughter? Fifty billion? A hundred billion? Haha, can you bear the consequences of slaughtering so many lives?” God-Monarch Blood Cloud’s voice resonated mightily through every part of the blood wave.

As the colossal illusory seal crushed the blood waves, the surging blood waves swept across yet more areas.

“No.”

“Help!”

“What’s happening?”

Vast numbers of living beings faced sudden calamity, instantly perishing within the blood waves.

“Begone,” General Yong said with a grim expression. The illusory seal in the air retracted into his palm, and the power of the formations also receded.

“Haha, General Yong is truly wise.” The surging blood waves instantly dispersed and vanished, leaving no trace.

General Yong remained in place, quite unwilling.

“General Yong,” the white-haired old man approached.

“To kill one Eternal True God from the Food Nation by sacrificing tens of billions, or even a hundred billion living beings, is simply not worth it.” General Yong shook his head. “If he truly slaughtered that many, not only I but all five of your great families would be held accountable!”

“How is this God-Monarch Blood Cloud so strong?” The white-haired old man asked in disbelief. “Throughout all these long years, he has never displayed such power.”

The two sides had battled for many long years, and God-Monarch Blood Cloud’s side had even been at a disadvantage.

“Without Huyang City’s grand formation, I couldn’t have done anything to him.” General Yong was indeed somewhat provoked. What kind of reputation did he possess? And he had received cultivation from the God King! Yet this God-Monarch Blood Cloud, who had little renown, surprisingly had a superior accumulation in realm.

General Yong sighed inwardly.

Status does not equate to strength.

Even among casual cultivators, there could still be individuals with extremely high realms, and even a Chaos Master might emerge.

“Never underestimate any opponent.” General Yong glanced around.

The residential areas for True Gods in Huyang City were divided into separate sections, but even so, the endless blood waves covered too vast an area, slaughtering billions of living beings with just a few exchanges of blows.

“An estimated eight billion living beings died at Blood Cloud’s hands.” The white-haired old man’s face was grim. “Such a massive loss must be reported to the Marquis and to the Royal Capital.”

“We did our best.” General Yong turned and departed.

Although a clash at the Chaos Master level could easily devour an entire large city and all its inhabitants with a single gulp, leading to total annihilation!

However, conflicts at the Eternal True God level, including the widespread destruction and slaughter in Huyang City tonight, resulted in nearly ten billion lives lost in one go, which still caused the City Lord’s Manor a great headache. Such an open battle could not be concealed.

In front of the forbidden area’s main hall, Luo Feng sat cross-legged, while Molosa and Mo Yuqingyan stood guard nearby.

“Brother Luohe, your mission is complete,” Mo Lixiao messaged Luo Feng. “The Food Nation forces have completely withdrawn; they won’t easily make another move.”

With General Yong’s appearance, the Food Nation forces naturally became wary.

This time, God-Monarch Blood Cloud also threatened to slaughter countless living beings, which prompted General Yong to cease his attack.

“Alright.” Luo Feng stood up and messaged, “How did things turn out this time?”

“Not so good, many citizens within the city died,” Mo Lixiao replied telepathically. “The detailed situation will likely spread quickly.”

Mo Lixiao was well aware of how well-informed the various factions within Huyang City were. Such a major event could not be kept secret, especially since the Yanfeng Guild was extremely adept at gathering intelligence, surpassing the City Lord’s Manor in many aspects.

Luo Feng glanced at Molosa and Mo Yuqingyan: “We can go back now.”

“God-Monarch Luohe, we owe you a great debt this time.” General Jin Xiao and the two Huyang Guard commanders also came to see him off.

“It was nothing.” Luo Feng nodded, then departed in a flying vessel with Molosa and Mo Yuqingyan.

General Jin Xiao and the two Huyang Guard commanders watched them leave.

“Our losses here are negligible, but the other two forbidden areas suffered significant losses,” General Jin Xiao said. “Especially God-Monarch Blood Cloud; he slaughtered far too many lives this time.”

“If we had immediately sent God-Monarch Luohe to support the other forbidden areas after defeating Yu Tianyi, the outcome might have been different,” Gao Wushui said.

“That wasn’t for us to decide,” another Huyang Guard commander also shook his head.

The affairs of Huyang City were decided by the innermost core members of the City Lord’s Manor.

They merely followed orders.

Luo Feng, with Molosa and Mo Yuqingyan, was still piloting the flying vessel on their return journey.

“Brother Luohe, something major happened this time,” Zhuyou messaged Luo Feng. “General Yonghu from our Yu Nation’s Royal Capital appeared in the city and moved to slay God-Monarch Blood Cloud. God-Monarch Blood Cloud unleashed power far exceeding his past displays, affecting and slaughtering over eight billion living beings, forcing General Yonghu to stop.”

“What’s the situation?” Luo Feng slightly frowned.

From the intelligence gathered by his master Zuoshanke and the Duan Donghe lineage, he had long known the brutality of the Origin Continent. Apart from Chaos Masters and God Kings clashing, even battles between super-strong Eternal True Gods could still affect vast numbers of living beings.

“I’ll send you the detailed information,” Zhuyou immediately sent a complete intelligence report. “This is the latest intelligence gathered by the Yanfeng Guild; it’s very detailed.”

Luo Feng immediately checked the detailed report. Before this, he hadn’t known that ‘General Yonghu’ was in the city, nor had he ever found God-Monarch Blood Cloud during his twenty-plus epochs there.
