While Luo Feng was taking action inside the Blood Python Guild headquarters, the outside world was in an uproar.

A patrolling team of Huyang Guards, controlling the mechanical treasure ‘Fiery Yun Snake’ – a winding, fiery red serpent – had already traversed the void and arrived near the Blood Python Guild headquarters. A mighty voice resounded, “All cultivators, evacuate the ‘Earth Net’ area!”

Threads of celestial and terrestrial power condensed into ropes, forming an Earth Net formation that encircled the Blood Python Guild headquarters.

The location of the Blood Python Guild headquarters was not ideal, far from comparable to the ‘Chaos A-District’ area. Therefore, the cave dwellings here were quite inexpensive. The headquarters itself was naturally vast, stretching a billion kilometers in length and width.

Yet, at this moment, the grand Earth Net formation encompassed an area with a diameter of three billion kilometers!

“Retreat.” “Quickly fall back.” The cultivators of various races, watching from afar, hastily retreated, moving beyond the ‘Giant Earth Net’s’ perimeter. Molosa and Mo Yuqingyan also withdrew with the crowd.

“Master’s actions…” Mo Yuqingyan seemed a little nervous.

Molosa watched carefully, preparing for any unexpected developments.

At this moment, inside the massive plant-like entity, the ‘Vine Dragon Legion,’ suspended above Huyang City’s east gate.

“Quick, quick, quick!” “All Vine Dragon hatches are closing.” The ‘Vine Dragon Legion,’ one of Huyang’s ten great legions, was being mobilized urgently. The multitude of True Gods who had been freely entering and exiting along its branches, seeing the hatches close, had no choice but to quickly jump down one by one.

The entire Vine Dragon Legion became operational. A peak Eternal True God led tens of thousands of Void True Gods and tens of millions of elite True Gods, jointly controlling this immense legion-type mechanical secret treasure. Its power was naturally terrifying.

The vast number of True Gods normally able to enter and exit were all off-duty True Gods! The millions of on-duty True Gods were forbidden from leaving their posts without permission.

“Vine Dragon Legion, a battle is currently underway at the Blood Python Guild headquarters in Huyang City.” Inside the Vine Dragon Legion’s core chamber, General Jiang Chengrong of the Vine Dragon Legion was listening to the orders of Commander-in-Chief Moli Xiao. “I have only one demand: ensure that the fighting within the Blood Python Guild headquarters does not affect innocent outsiders! Anyone who harms the innocent will not be spared! As for the life and death within the Blood Python Guild? No intervention is necessary.”

“Rest assured, Commander Moli!” Jiang Chengrong smiled slightly. “Anyone who disrupts the order of Huyang City will face the full might of my Vine Dragon Legion.”

The virtual image of Moli Xiao, appearing before him, had four purple curved horns like a crown, and his face seemed somewhat aged. Even as a mere projection, he exuded an extremely powerful oppressive aura. He was the strongest existence on the side of the Five Great Clans of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Even Jiang Chengrong, an Eternal True God from the ‘Jiang Family’ of Marquis Jiujiang, greatly admired and respected Moli Xiao, who was the strongest Eternal True God he had ever seen!

“Rumble!” The Vine Dragon Legion moved. Huyang’s ten great legions and the Huyang Guards were not restricted by Huyang City’s grand formation; they could traverse the void directly. Thus, only the decision-making by high-ranking officials, command transmission, and legion mobilization took a little time. The legion itself, traversing the void, arrived above the Blood Python Guild headquarters in the blink of an eye.

“What is that?” Outside the Blood Python Guild headquarters, the cultivators of various races saw the immensely gigantic plant-like entity that had crossed the void.

“It’s the Vine Dragon Legion.” “The Vine Dragon Legion is one of Huyang City’s ten great legions. The entire legion has been mobilized?” The observing cultivators of various races were astonished.

“Normally, conflicts that violate regulations within Huyang City, or clashes between dark forces, only involve the Huyang Guards. But this time, an entire legion has been mobilized. It seems the fighting inside the Blood Python Guild headquarters is terrifyingly powerful! The Huyang Guards can no longer suppress it.”

“It’s probably the most terrifying entities in Huyang City fighting. Let’s get even further away! Even the Huyang Legion might not be able to protect us.” Many observing cultivators of various races piloted their flying vessels billions of kilometers further away, still able to dimly see the Blood Python Guild headquarters with their True God observation abilities.

Swish, swish, swish! The Vine Dragon Legion hovered above the Blood Python Guild headquarters, countless vines spreading out to completely envelop and surround the building. However, these vines did not penetrate into the small universe domain.

Evidently, it had no desire to get involved in the internal conflict.

“I wonder who is fighting the Blood Python Guild,” General Jiang Chengrong of the Vine Dragon Legion mused, looking down. “During the day, countless tribes from outside the city come to Huyang City for trade. After dark, all non-Huyang City residents must leave.”

“Daytime is when it’s most bustling and prosperous. The City Lord’s Mansion absolutely forbids harm to the innocent.” Jiang Chengrong and his colleagues were resolute in upholding order.

For instance, the residences of True Gods were absolutely safe, covered by a massive formation that prevented incursions from dark forces, allowing them to cultivate in peace.

During the day, in bustling and lively areas, anyone daring to engage in killing would be witnessed and recorded by many True Gods. With irrefutable evidence, the City Lord’s Mansion was compelled to take action.

Dark forces, too, had to operate in secluded areas.

This was also why the vast majority of residents dared not pay the ‘residence fees’ levied by dark forces. The members of dark forces were limited, and they dared not break the rules, so how could they manage the enormous number of residents?

Only residents who worked within the city, or had to move around at night, would dutifully pay the fees collected by dark forces.

Luo Feng naturally understood some of the City Lord’s Mansion’s rules, and he would not cross those bottom lines.

After killing Vice Guild Master Laimo, Luo Feng waved his hand, collecting his corpse and the discarded scepter-weapon and other items.

Blood Python Guild Master Muyang watched calmly. Both of them had guessed the City Lord’s Mansion’s actions, but neither cared!

“Admirable, truly admirable.” Blood Python Guild Master Muyang praised, “Lord Luohe’s movement technique is incredibly swift; at short distances, it’s almost comparable to traversing the void!”

“I had no choice, Vice Guild Master Laimo fled too quickly!” Luo Feng replied.

The movement technique he had just displayed was precisely ‘Donghua,’ one of the three ultimate techniques of the Broken River Lineage! Vice Guild Master Laimo had tried to escape from the very beginning, and Luo Feng was also distracted by dealing with the million venomous insects, so he had to employ this God King-level ultimate technique ‘Donghua’ to completely eliminate Vice Guild Master Laimo.

“Lord Luohe,” the Blood Python Guild Master said amiably, “You’ve killed both vice guild masters and collected their remaining treasures. May Lord Luohe cease his actions now?”

“Cease?” Luo Feng asked in surprise.

“In this world, it’s always better to have one more friend than one more enemy,” the Blood Python Guild Master stated. “The deaths of the two vice guild masters are inconsequential; I’d much rather make a friend like Lord Luohe. To show my sincerity, I am willing to offer Brother Luohe fifty thousand universe sand. Can Brother Luohe grant me this face?”

“Be my friend?” Luo Feng chuckled lightly. “Are you even worthy?”

Blood Python Guild Master Muyang’s expression stiffened, and his eyes grew cold. “One last question: how exactly have I offended Lord Luohe? Why must Lord Luohe take action?”

“You killed Diao Rongyan,” Luo Feng replied.

“Diao Rongyan was unremarkable among Eternal True Gods. How could he compare to you or me? My killing him was merely a matter of the strong preying on the weak,” Blood Python Guild Master Muyang said.

“Accumulating resources through alchemy skills, honorably and straightforwardly, is something I quite appreciate. But you Eternal True Gods of the dark forces are all scum! Madly seeking prey among the weak, hunting down True Gods and Void True Gods to plunder their wealth – you are truly the most despicable among Eternal True Gods.” Luo Feng stated, “Every one of you deserves to die!”

He genuinely believed this in his heart.

Whether being a servant, a butcher, or a miner, all were honorable professions.

The City Lord’s Mansion only collected a basic residence fee from True Gods, while those above True God rank were exempt, and the mansion also maintained city order. However, dark forces exploited without any bottom line, even madly searching for ‘fat sheep’ to directly slaughter and plunder.

Slaughtering living beings to sustain themselves.

Luo Feng naturally looked down upon these Eternal True Gods of the dark forces.

“I understand,” Blood Python Guild Master Muyang nodded gently. “However, I need to make Lord Luohe understand that no matter how despicable I may be, as long as I am powerful, I will remain supreme.”

“The strong preying on the weak is the fundamental truth!” Blood Python Guild Master’s face, covered in black scales, looked ferocious and maniacal. “I’ll see just how strong you, Luohe, truly are, to dare come and kill me!”

In an instant, he revealed his true form, his body towering like a mountain, covered in dense black scales. With a gentle flick of his armored tail, space-time twisted, and numerous surrounding buildings were destroyed. Some Blood Python Guild members, hidden within the buildings, were caught in the aftermath and pulverized in terror.

“No—” “Guild Master!” Many Blood Python Guild members, seeing the gigantic black scaled tail emerge from the darkness, could tell it was their own Guild Master from its aura. They shrieked desperately, but at this moment, the Blood Python Guild Master paid them no mind.

“Boom!” The Blood Python Guild Master burned his divine power, his eyes fixed on Luo Feng. His divine body instantly surged with a blazing, blood-red aura.

“Die!” A blood-red afterimage sliced through the darkness in an arc, cleaving towards the minuscule Luo Feng.

Luo Feng stood his ground, clearly seeing that the blood-red afterimage was the massive scaled tail, emanating a bloody aura. The giant scaled tail, as if cleaving open a chaotic world, swept towards Luo Feng.

“Whoosh.” The terrifying scaled tail struck where Luo Feng had been, causing the ground to suddenly sink, but Luo Feng had vanished into thin air.

Employing the movement technique ‘Donghua,’ Luo Feng instantly appeared at the chest of the towering Blood Python Guild Master Muyang. His arm extended dramatically, and his palm, like a blade, thrust towards the Guild Master’s chest. This blade technique, seemingly ordinary, contained the essence of ‘Blade of Life and Death’ from the Nine World-Breaking Blades, concentrating the boundless power of Luo Feng’s perfected divine body, forged through a body refinement, into his hand-blade.

“Pffft—” This hand-blade strike caused Blood Python Guild Master Muyang’s face to change drastically. The scales on his chest dented and cracked, and he was involuntarily sent flying backward by the terrifying force.

“Armor-type secret treasure? Armor fused with scales?” Luo Feng was well aware of the immense strength of his divine body. The sensation from that hand-blade strike confirmed to him that it was indeed an armor secret treasure.

Luo Feng instantly caught up to the retreating Blood Python Guild Master, raising his arm high and chopping down. For a moment, it was as if he wielded a great axe, imbued with the intent of grand destruction, instantly cleaving into the Blood Python Guild Master’s shoulder.

This cleave was precisely the ‘Blade of Returning to Ruins’ from the Nine World-Breaking Blades, which Luo Feng had comprehended! Luo Feng had been in seclusion for over an epoch, and had temporarily mastered three of the Nine World-Breaking Blades: the Blade of Life and Death, the Blade of Reincarnation, and the Blade of Returning to Ruins. Among them, the ‘Blade of Returning to Ruins’ carried the intent of grand destruction, causing everything to revert to chaos. It was because Luo Feng had Molosa’s mastery of the ‘Dao of Destruction Origin’ as a reference that he was able to grasp this blade so quickly.

This blade was also the fiercest and most destructive of the three.

“Crack!” The Blood Python Guild Master, already at the tenth stage of Eternal True God, protected by an armor secret treasure, and burning his divine power, still felt an unparalleled force cleaving into his shoulder. His scales were directly dented and cracked open.

“My armor secret treasure was split open?” Blood Python Guild Master Muyang felt his heart tremble. “Lord Luohe’s hand-blade is like the full power strike of a Huyang Legion controlling a legion-type secret treasure. I can’t withstand it even by burning my divine power.”

The Blood Python Guild Master was the first to experience the explosive power of Luo Feng’s perfected divine body, which had reached its peak.

It was too fierce!

The Blood Python Guild Master even wondered if this Luohe possessed the legendary Infinite Divine Body.

“Boom!” As the armor secret treasure was split open, Luo Feng immediately lunged forward again, clearly intending to tear the Blood Python Guild Master apart with his bare hands.

Suddenly— Bang!!! A blood-red giant hand appeared out of thin air, slamming fiercely onto Luo Feng as he lunged forward.

The enormous hand was too vast, and Luo Feng’s body was too tiny. With that single slap, Luo Feng was sent hurtling backward, slamming violently into the Blood Python Guild headquarters’ buildings, consecutively smashing through many of them and eliciting cries of anguish from hidden Blood Python Guild members within.

“Hahaha, hahaha…” Luo Feng, who had been sent flying, stood up, his eyes filled with excitement as he looked ahead. “Interesting, now this is interesting.”

That slap truly hurt! His entire perfected divine body felt the pain.

“I didn’t expect you to have a single-entity mechanical secret treasure,” Luo Feng muttered, feeling his blood boil. This battle was only truly becoming enjoyable now.

“All who have seen this mechanical secret treasure of mine have died,” the Blood Python Guild Master’s cold voice resonated from within the intensely blazing blood-red light.
