Emperor Qing, Emperor Fu, and Emperor Ming suddenly felt a terrifying aura erupt from within the cave mansion. A figure instantly shot up into the sky, and they recognized it as Luo Feng at first glance! Luo Feng stood in the sky above the cave mansion!

In an instant, he split, creating a total of twenty-three clones. The twenty-three Luo Fengs surveyed their surroundings!

“Emperor Qing, you all stay in the cave mansion! Don’t come out!” Luo Feng commanded, and the twenty-three clones instantly flew in all directions!

“This… this…”

“Why is Brother Luo Feng creating so many clones?”

“The more clones there are, the more mental power each one requires to control, and their energy reserves are also weaker!” Emperor Qing and Emperor Fu were somewhat perplexed.

Even if Luo Feng possessed strength comparable to the three Palace Masters, splitting into many clones would significantly reduce his power. Against the vast army currently breaching the city, this seemed utterly meaningless!

Emperor Ming, however, chuckled: “Perhaps Brother Luo Feng thinks it’s better to fight to the death than to wait for it! I also want to fight desperately, but… I can’t even defeat the weakest low-level Chaos Origin Lifeforms. I’m not even qualified to risk my life!”

Emperor Ming was already resigned to his fate.

“This isn’t Brother Luo Feng’s character!” Emperor Fu frowned, looking at the twenty-three departing clones. “I’ve watched Brother Luo Feng grow up; whenever he acts, he always has a solid reason!”

Emperor Qing was contemplative. At this moment, Luo Feng’s clone guarding the Pill Pagoda, as well as the clones patrolling outside, all split further, creating eleven more clones!

“Whoosh!”

Thirty-four clones dispersed and flew towards different locations within the core area of Rainveil City!

“These thirty-four clones will guard the entire core area!” Luo Feng already had a plan!

Among these thirty-four clones, only the strongest clone possessed 500 times the energy reserves of a perfect divine body, carrying the “Indestructible Heart” and the “World in Hand.” The other twenty-three clones each had only 100 times the energy reserves.

This was all of Luo Feng’s current energy reserves. At this moment, he was fully focused on Rainveil City’s core area, which was the most prosperous region, home to the elders’ cave mansions. Even now, the elders were still maintaining Rainveil City’s various formations, trying to defend against the low-level Chaos Origin Lifeform army!

“It’s over!”

“The low-level Chaos Origin Lifeform army is heading for the core area!” When they saw over 2,000 Divine Emperor Perfection Realm experts and tens of thousands of Divine Emperor Late-stage low-level Chaos Origin Lifeforms, led by four Transcendent-level beings, surge towards the core area, all the elders felt their hearts tremble with despair!

They had only been able to resist the low-level Chaos Origin Lifeform army because of Rainveil City’s defenses!

Without the city’s advantage, the gap between the two sides was simply too vast!

This attack was launched in haste; otherwise, the army’s numbers would have doubled. Under a simultaneous assault from both inside and outside, Rainveil City would be breached in a very short time, with no possibility of resistance!

“According to our estimates, the low-level Chaos Origin Lifeforms around Rainveil City consist of only about two to three hundred Divine Emperor Perfection Realm experts and a few thousand Divine Emperor Late-stage ones! This… so many at once!” The elders watched in dismay! Inside the city, there were originally three Palace Masters and over 700 Divine Emperor Late-stage Dao Comprehenders. Even with Rainveil City’s defenses, they couldn’t withstand two to three hundred Divine Emperor Perfection Realm experts and a few thousand Divine Emperor Late-stage low-level Chaos Origin Lifeforms. Now there were two thousand Divine Emperor Perfection Realm experts, tens of thousands of Divine Emperor Late-stage ones, and a full five Transcendent-level beings. How could they possibly defend?

“Hahahaha… We won!”

“We won!” The five leader teams in the core area were ecstatic. They had been somewhat uneasy about this hastily launched attack, but in the end, despite losing many core kin and two leaders, they had survived!

The city had fallen, the army had entered, and they were about to enjoy the most lavish feast!

“Destroy these elders, and we can freely feast on hundreds of millions of cultivators!” The leaders were frenzied!

Suddenly, among Luo Feng’s many clones, which were flying to various locations to guard the entire core area, one particular clone approached a leader team!

“Rumble!”

This clone instantly transformed into a vast sea of blood, which in an instant engulfed the leader team!

“It’s Luo Feng again!”

“The city has fallen, and he still dares to obstruct us! Let’s join forces and kill him first.” The six leaders of this team were somewhat enraged.

Their bodies transformed into their true, formidable Divine Emperor Perfection Realm forms, unleashing their power to tear through the sea of blood. However, all six of them felt that this sea of blood was endless, and even just trying to thrash around within it was incredibly difficult!

“Suppress!” With a single thought, Luo Feng’s vast sea of blood formed a formation! The formation operated with the “Divine Emperor Late-stage Life-Death Dao” as its core, forcefully suppressing the six leaders. Under the suppression of the blood sea formation, they could only barely thrash about, their movement speed as slow as a tortoise!

“Exterminate!” Luo Feng could simultaneously suppress with the formation and mobilize its power to concentrate on strangling one of the leaders’ true bodies!

Under the formation’s strangulation, the Divine Emperor Perfection Realm Illusory Heart Worm’s body was rapidly corroded, its vitality dissipating. Soon, its powerful body was torn apart as the formation’s power permeated its interior, nearing its life core!

This Divine Emperor Perfection Realm Illusory Heart Worm couldn’t believe that its immense vitality was completely suppressed, unable to recover even a shred!

Each bit of corrosion meant one less bit of life. Under the strangulation of Luo Feng’s Blood Sea Grand Formation, the corrosion speed was extremely fast, and death quickly approached this Illusory Heart Worm!

“Help! Help!” It immediately cried out to its companions for help!

“King, save me, save me!” It also frantically pleaded with the King for aid!

Soon, the King, who appeared in the form of Palace Master Weiyang in the core area, looked over from afar. It saw a sea of blood suspended there, suppressing six leaders, one of whom was begging for mercy in terror!

“How is this possible? The city has fallen! How can there be a force within the city capable of threatening a leader-level team?” The King couldn’t believe it! “Save me! Save me!” Along with its mournful cries, these sounds echoed in the King’s mind and in the minds of the other struggling leaders!

A Divine Emperor Perfection Realm Illusory Heart Worm died just like that.

Luo Feng’s figure condensed above the sea of blood!

Luo Feng, however, frowned slightly as he looked at the lifeless corpse in the sea of blood; the corpse’s life core had already cracked!

“My Life-Death Dao has reached the Divine Emperor Late-stage, yet I didn’t expect this leader team to be so troublesome!”

Only after Luo Feng attacked did he realize that the true bodies of these leaders indeed possessed incredibly strong vitality!

“This clone of mine doesn’t have powerful secret treasures, its energy reserves aren’t sufficient, and its secret techniques aren’t particularly strong either!” Luo Feng understood this.

With only 100 times the energy reserves at his current realm, his casual attacks already contained the “Divine Emperor Late-stage Life-Death Dao.” The intricacies of weapons and secret treasures sold externally were far inferior to his casual moves and had become meaningless to him!

Only secret treasures cultivated and refined by entities that have transcended the mundane, like the Indestructible Heart and the World in Hand, were useful to him!

However, such secret treasures that were also suitable for him were naturally very rare. As Luo Feng pondered, another leader from the team died under the strangulation of his Blood Sea Formation.

With the second leader’s death and the reduction in numbers, the remaining leaders’ resistance grew weaker, and they died even faster.

“King! King!” These leaders were utterly desperate. Under the suppression of the Blood Sea Formation, they were all paralyzed at this moment! The longer it went on, the faster they died, until finally, all six leaders perished!

“A team eliminated in just over ten breaths!”

Luo Feng looked into the distance!

“Watch out for Divine Emperor Luo Feng!”

“Luo Feng has eliminated a leader team!”

The other four leader teams were now in extreme panic. Luo Feng’s clones were dispersed throughout the core area, and one clone was rapidly approaching another leader team!

That leader team, terrified, quickly fled!

“Run, hurry and run!”

“Our speed is greater, we can shake him off!” This leader team turned illusory, fleeing with all their might!

As Luo Feng flew, he seemed to tear through the fabric of space itself in an instant, creating a fissure in the world. This sight stunned the fleeing leaders! Luo Feng, clad in black with black hair, walked within this spatial fissure. With just a single step, a vast sea of blood beneath his feet engulfed the leader team!

“How is his speed faster than ours?”

“He just warped space over a short distance!”

“The Nine River Sacred Realm’s suppression is so strong, how could he possibly warp space?”

This leader team felt despair; engulfed and trapped by the sea of blood, they still couldn’t escape!

Luo Feng, however, revealed a slight smile!

“Finally, I’ve managed to create a movement secret technique using the Divine Emperor Late-stage Life-Death Dao as its core!” Luo Feng thought.

He had emerged to face his opponents immediately after his breakthrough, which was too hasty! He hadn’t had time to create numerous secret techniques based on the Life-Death Dao!

All secret techniques created using the Life-Death Dao, having reached the Divine Emperor Late-stage, were extraordinary! However, they all required time to create!

Currently, Luo Feng had thirty-four clones guarding the core area!

In reality, after consuming the “Hundred Tribulations Heart Marrow,” his thought processing speed had tripled, and fighting with clones placed very little burden on his mind. His mental energy was primarily used for two tasks: first, leveraging the City Building Seal to re-establish formations within Rainveil City’s core formation layers. His original formations were too weak; now he needed to re-layout them using the Life-Death Dao!

Only by using Rainveil City as a base for his own formations could he, despite the Nine River Sacred Realm’s suppression, still envelop the entire city with immense power, threatening the entire low-level Chaos Origin Lifeform army!

His second task was to perfect his secret techniques!

Luo Feng found it quite easy to create simple secret techniques like evasion, dodging, and enemy-slaying.

The most difficult task was to create secret techniques with the Starfall Tower’s blood scales as the core, using the “Indestructible Heart” as a reference, and the “Indestructible Blood Sea Body.” Luo Feng knew that perfecting these to a higher level was hopeless in the short term.

Furthermore, mimicking the Eye of Life and Death would also require a significant amount of time and effort, so Luo Feng was currently focused on creating simpler secret techniques!

However… what he considered simple secret techniques were incredible in the eyes of other cultivators. Palace Master Yuanxiang, residing in a common cave mansion in the outer city, was still observing the city’s movements. At this moment, he stared blankly, especially at Luo Feng’s flight.

Luo Feng forcibly tore through space, creating a fissure in the world itself!

“To be able to tear through space and fly, achieving short-distance spatial warping effects within the Nine River Sacred Realm!” Palace Master Yuanxiang’s eyes lit up!

“A single clone can suppress a leader team; he has mastered two half-Chaos Origin level Daos!”

Spatial warping was almost impossible in the Nine River Sacred Realm!

Yet, there were still some escape treasures that allowed short-distance spatial warping. Where did those escape items come from?

They were precisely crafted at great cost by powerful individuals like Luo Feng at this moment, or like Palace Master Yuanxiang in his prime, usually as one-time use treasures!

“There’s hope, there’s hope!” Palace Master Yuanxiang exclaimed excitedly, “If he, having mastered two half-Chaos Origin level Daos, carves his formation seals into Rainveil City and utilizes it, perhaps even with heavy casualties, there’s still hope of saving Rainveil City and countless cultivators!”

At this moment, Palace Master Yuanxiang didn’t know that Luo Feng hadn’t mastered two half-Chaos Origin level Daos, but rather a complete Divine Emperor Late-stage Life-Death Dao!

Two Daos still required coordination, and only with sufficiently exquisite coordination could they reach a higher-level threshold. A complete Dao, upon breakthrough, was already at a higher level! Luo Feng, having just broken through, was already more powerful than Palace Master Yuanxiang in his prime!

After all, no matter how exquisite the coordination, it could never compare to a complete, integrated whole.
