Chapter 166: Lord of Shadow Heaven Realm

“Don’t release Qingyan and the others just yet,” Luo Feng instructed. “I’ll get you all to Huyang City as quickly as possible.”

In Huyang City, his powerful avatar was stationed and could handle many dangers.

His current weak avatar had been somewhat fortunate in killing that being of gray mist. It was partly due to his *Lie Yuan Technique*, but also because the gray mist being’s mental willpower was too weak.

Even among Divine Kings in the first tier, such weak mental willpower was rare. Many Chaos Realm peak existences had mental willpower that reached the Divine King level.

“A Divine King in the first tier with such weak mental willpower is indeed uncommon,” Luo Feng mused inwardly.

“Master, this assassination attempt was targeted at me and Qingyan,” Morosa said with a puzzled tone. “Logically speaking, neither Qingyan nor I should attract such a powerful enemy.”

“It’s because of me.”

Luo Feng replied, “Not long ago, I destroyed a great opportunity that belonged to the Food Country’s ‘Faceless Divine King’.”

Able to hire members of the Shadow Heaven Realm to assassinate! Luo Feng pondered slightly and guessed the instigator.

Mainly because he had been too low-profile since arriving in the Origin Continent, he didn’t have many enemies. To be willing to hire the Shadow Heaven Realm just to kill servants and disciples… the Faceless Divine King was the most likely candidate to have that kind of disposable wealth.

“Destroyed his great opportunity? How significant was it?” Morosa asked.

“Probably the accumulation of all his resources since he began cultivating,” Luo Feng guessed.

A guest Divine King needed fifty million merit points to exchange for a spot. Although the Faceless Ancestor was a Divine King in the first tier, reaching the limit, it was indeed not easy for him to secure this opportunity.

In fact, the Faceless Ancestor had obtained this opportunity by using up his brotherly affection with the Heavenly Kun Country Lord and also selling himself to the Two Realms Palace.

“The accumulation of all his resources since he began cultivating? That Faceless Divine King must be going crazy,” Morosa said. “Master, you’ve forged a deadly feud with him.”

Luo Feng chuckled and didn’t say much more.

The flying ship moved through the void at an extremely high speed under Luo Feng’s control.

Luo Feng was also investigating the Divine King’s corpse he had just collected.

“This Divine King’s treasures…” Luo Feng discovered some storage treasures carried within the corpse and also found a hidden Divine King weapon. Clearly, the opponent hadn’t had time to use it.

“Some ordinary treasures and a golden spike that is a Divine King first tier weapon.” Luo Feng looked at the golden spike in his hand. “Adding it all up, the total value barely approaches one hundred billion universe sand.”

“This Divine King, is he so poor?” Luo Feng wondered.

The Wilderness City Lord, who cultivated the Primal Bloodline and used all his resources on himself, could still produce eighty billion universe sand.

This Divine King, who had obviously accumulated wealth for a long time, only carried such a small amount of treasure?

Too poor!

“Most who have transcended the Chaos Realm are richer than him,” Luo Feng began studying the corpse again.

“This corpse…”

Upon closer examination, Luo Feng discovered the corpse’s extraordinary nature.

The gray mist corpse’s mist had already condensed into liquid, constantly flowing slowly, with gray mist spreading across its surface.

It appeared to be mist, but it was incredibly resilient.

“*Chichi*.” Luo Feng attempted to destroy it, but the gray mist would naturally recover as it was being damaged.

“Even in death, this corpse remains so extraordinary.” Luo Feng had previously used his blade array to kill the gray mist being, and discovered how troublesome the mist was. The array was completely exhausted, but the opponent’s mist body hardly suffered any damage.

“He must have used all his treasures on his body,” Luo Feng guessed.

“Morosa is getting a bargain,” Luo Feng chuckled to himself. The more extraordinary the corpse, the greater the benefits Morosa would receive after absorbing it.

A moment later.

The flying ship had already arrived above Huyang City.

“Master, that corpse…” Morosa looked at Luo Feng.

“Go to the Star Tower to collect it after we return,” Luo Feng glanced at him. Even absorbing it had to be done within the Star Tower. After speaking, Luo Feng disappeared from sight.

Morosa was somewhat eager, wanting to return as soon as possible, but he couldn’t. He had to stay with his good disciple, Qingyan.

Whoosh.

With a wave of his hand, Morosa released the Moyu Qingyan couple and a group of followers back into the flying ship.

“We’re okay?”

The Moyu Qingyan couple and the others were all very surprised. When they were taken away, Saint Luohe’s blade array had already been defeated! That huge gray mist existence was coming to kill them. Now, they were above a city?

“We’ve arrived at Huyang City,” Morosa said. “Qingyan, you all should hurry down and see your father. Return to the Xiangjie City as soon as you’re done with business.”

“Yes, Second Master,” Moyu Qingyan couldn’t help but ask, “Second Master, how did we arrive here alive?”

“Don’t ask so many questions,” Morosa glanced at him and immediately left the flying ship, flying towards the city lord’s mansion below.

Moyu Qingyan and Zhang Yunge looked at each other, puzzled, and could only fly down with the group of followers.

……

A vast, secret world, this world was also known as the ‘Shadow Heaven Realm’.

“Completely dead? All his avatars destroyed?” After learning the news, a thunderous figure was shocked and immediately flew out of an ancient hall!

Swoosh!

He transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly crossing a vast distance and arriving directly in front of a quiet pavilion in the Shadow Heaven Realm.

“Master.” The thunderous figure’s aura was terrifying, but he remained incredibly respectful as he stood outside the pavilion. “Mist Envoy has completely perished, all his avatars have been destroyed.” “How did he die?” A figure sat within the pavilion.

As this figure sat there, he naturally influenced the entire Shadow Heaven Realm, and even his influence penetrated beyond the Shadow Heaven Realm, affecting many places in the Origin Continent.

“We received a task from the Food Country’s Faceless Divine King to kill Saint Luohe’s servant, Rosa, and disciple, Moyu Qingyan,” the thunderous figure respectfully reported. “This task was assigned to Mist Envoy. Mist Envoy sent avatars to assassinate them… After the avatars failed, Mist Envoy even descended in person! He has not returned since descending, and all his avatars have disappeared, with all karma related to him gone.”

“A thorough death indeed,” the figure within the pavilion said.

“Master, although Mist Envoy’s strength is only at the extremely strong level of a first-tier Divine King, his ability to protect himself is extremely high. How could he suddenly die?” the thunderous figure asked.

“He had an avatar in the Shadow Heaven Realm,” the figure within the pavilion said. “No karmic attacks descended upon the Shadow Heaven Realm… so it must have been some kind of soul attack, perhaps a mental willpower attack, perhaps the destruction of the soul, or perhaps illusionary control, all are possible.”

The thunderous figure said, “Although Mist Envoy’s mental willpower is weak, it has reached the threshold of a first-tier Divine King! To kill him with just mental willpower, one would need a willpower that surpasses the ultimate realm of a Divine King… There are very few in the entire Origin Continent who can reach this level. As for the soul path, techniques of the soul path that reach the Divine King level are also very rare.”

“There are two possibilities: either he encountered a terrifying existence with extremely strong mental willpower, who instantly annihilated him,” the figure within the pavilion said with a smile, “Or he encountered someone who has achieved something in the soul path. It’s a small matter, you don’t need to worry too much about it.”

“Yes,” the thunderous figure respectfully replied.

As one of the core members of the Shadow Heaven Realm, he also understood that the many envoys were merely ordinary members of the Shadow Heaven Realm.

“Although I have bestowed power upon you, you also need to temper your own willpower. Without sufficient mental willpower, you cannot perfectly master this power,” the figure within the pavilion said.

“Yes, Master,” the thunderous figure respectfully bowed and then departed.

The one sitting inside the pavilion watched this scene.

“Relying on external forces to cultivate experts ultimately has great flaws,” the figure within the pavilion mused. “No matter how much I cultivate, when they encounter a truly powerful existence, they will all be annihilated under a sweep of willpower.”

“But the world beast from the Heavenly Wood Country, the life forms cultivated within its body, are quite perfect. The one in the Eastern Extremes Domain, the life he enlightened with the origin source Dao of life… are also more perfect than the lives I cultivate.”

“The one in the Eastern Extremes Domain is, after all, an existence who has survived the great destruction of the origin universe; he is indeed different.”

“There are still some keys that I haven’t comprehended.”

The figure within the pavilion pondered, “I can select one of the Divine Sons and try to cultivate a new Mist Envoy again.”

To the Lord of the Shadow Heaven Realm, cultivating an envoy was merely an experiment in his secret technique cultivation. Moreover, these experimental subjects were absolutely loyal, working hard to earn resources for him.

******

Food Country, Faceless City.

The Faceless Ancestor had been waiting for the Shadow Heaven Realm’s response.

“Faceless Divine King, the mission has failed,” the Shadow Heaven Realm finally responded.

“Failed?” The Faceless Ancestor couldn’t believe it. “Just an ordinary Chaos Realm existence and an Eternal True God, even the Shadow Heaven Realm can fail?”

“Luohe’s avatar is protecting them,” the Shadow Heaven Realm responded. “If you need us to assassinate them again, it will require 500 billion universe sand, and we can act again! We will send even more powerful members.”

“No need.”

The Faceless Ancestor directly cut off the communication.

Five hundred billion universe sand? Just to kill a servant and a disciple? It would be a loss even if they were actually killed! He, a first tier God King, did not have such a sum of wealth.

“The Shadow Heaven Realm has such a great reputation, yet it’s so useless,” the Faceless Ancestor was both angry and annoyed. He had already lost a great opportunity, and now he had spent 60 billion universe sand to hire the Shadow Heaven Realm to act, but they had failed. Naturally, he was even more furious.

Buzz—

The Faceless Ancestor couldn’t bear this anger any longer, but he understood that acting himself would be foolish, so he could only contact his elder brother.

“Faceless, what is it?” The Heavenly Kun Country Lord responded.

“Brother,” the Faceless Ancestor didn’t hide anything from his elder brother and immediately told him about what happened in the infinite space, as well as hiring the Shadow Heaven Realm.

“The opportunity that I obtained at all costs has been lost just like that; I really can’t stand this!” The Faceless Ancestor said.

“You must endure even if you can’t,” the Heavenly Kun Country Lord’s voice came, carrying indifference.

The Faceless Ancestor was stunned.

“The Shadow Heaven Realm’s actions failing has an extremely low probability, which is why they are known as the number one assassination force in the Origin Continent,” the Heavenly Kun Country Lord’s voice rang out. “When they act, they definitely consider many factors. Luohe has many avatars; they definitely considered the factor of Luohe’s avatars protecting them. But they still failed… obviously, there was an even more unexpected situation.”

“Unexpected situation?” The Faceless Ancestor wondered.

“I’m very clear about how the Shadow Heaven Realm works. This unexpected situation is very valuable; you would have to offer a high enough price for them to be willing to tell you,” the Heavenly Kun Country Lord said.

The Faceless Ancestor was very clear that his elder brother was, after all, a second-tier Divine King, a formal member of the Two Realms Palace, and truly involved in the Origin Continent’s high-level disputes. He definitely understood the various forces much more deeply than he did.

“This assassination attempt, what exactly were the unexpected factors? This is worth investigating,” the Heavenly Kun Country Lord added. “Another reason is that fighting with Luohe will not end well for you. He is the personal disciple of Di Chu; if you truly fight him… not only will you not be able to kill him, but it will also damage my relationship with the Yanfeng Ancient Country.”

“My relationship with several emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Country is extremely good, and I cannot allow you to ruin it,” the Heavenly Kun Country Lord said.

“Understood,” the Faceless Ancestor replied.

One of the reasons why his elder brother could walk unhindered in the Origin Continent was that his relationship with several emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Country was extremely good. Of course, another reason was that his elder brother’s culinary skills had reached the Divine King level, which made those emperors admire him greatly.

“The Yanfeng Ancient Country and the Thunder Ancient Country are the two most core forces in the Origin Continent. As long as we maintain a good relationship with the Yanfeng Ancient Country, everyone who interacts with us will have to consider us carefully. Therefore, your matter with Luohe ends here!” The Heavenly Kun Country Lord said.

“Yes, I understand,” the Faceless Ancestor could only obediently reply.

After cutting off the communication, the Faceless Ancestor was quite dissatisfied: “This elder brother of mine, disregarding his status as a second-tier Divine King, actually curries favor with the Yanfeng Ancient Country! Now, he isn’t even willing to offend a disciple of Di Chu.”

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, the Faceless Ancestor could only obediently comply.

Because if he wanted to obtain great opportunities and great benefits, he would ultimately have to rely on his elder brother!
