The four Limitless-level beings exchanged glances. To save their own lives, they had no choice but to let their subordinate legions bear some of the burden.

“If the four legions only focus on escaping and don’t harm the cultivators, Luo Feng, with the help of the Heaven and Earth Array, will likely defeat us one by one!”

The four Limitless-level beings understood this clearly. Even four against one, they were at a disadvantage. This wasn’t because the array hadn’t been set up successfully.

With the array’s assistance, even if all four focused solely on self-preservation, they wouldn’t last long.

“Once the four legions begin slaughtering cultivators, their destructive power will far exceed ours.” To force Luo Feng to rescue those cultivators, they were well aware of their legions’ intentions.

The God-Emperor Perfection-level beings of the four legions were the leaders of their respective branches. They had all followed the four kings this time because they saw hope in the city’s fall.

“As soon as we entered the city, I wanted to slaughter, but the kings forced us to destroy the core area first. Now, we face defeat.”

“We’ve waited so long; let’s kill! Let’s slaughter to our hearts’ content! Perhaps if we kill enough cultivators, we can regain our freedom!”

“If we kill while retreating, our retreat speed will likely decrease by 30 or 40 percent, and casualties might be severe.”

“The kings are ordering us to slaughter deliberately, to attract the cultivators!” “We have always struggled to survive in the Nine Rivers Holy Realm. Now that freedom is within reach, why wouldn’t we slaughter? We might never have another chance to break through a cultivator city in our lives. If we don’t slaughter this time, we will regret it!”

This group of God-Emperor Perfection-level beings communicated extremely quickly through telepathy! Within a few breaths, the God-Emperor Perfection-level members of these four legions quickly reached a consensus. They all chose to flee while slaughtering. Although this would affect their escape speed, it also offered the “hope of freedom.” Even if they couldn’t regain complete freedom, their bloodlines might still advance further!

In fact, these legions had wanted to slaughter as soon as they entered the city. But at that time, according to the kings’ orders, not a single moment could be wasted; their sole focus was on destroying the core area, and later even on completely eliminating Luo Feng’s clone! It was only because the situation constantly changed that they ended up in their current predicament.

At this moment, the four legions, having waited for a long time, all chose the same path under the subtle guidance of the four Limitless-level beings.

“Retreat.”

All four legions retreated, fleeing towards the city’s outskirts along the shortest route. However, as the massive armies fled, they suddenly dropped their flight altitude. At the same time, they diverted their attention to unleash collective attacks. Lightning, various colored flames, dark wind curses, potent poisons, and other forces descended, tearing through the obstruction of the greenish-black mist and forcefully impacting numerous nearby cave dwellings below! Luo Feng’s Heaven and Earth Array was designed for large-scale suppression and erosion. These armies, by concentrating their power on a single point, were naturally able to break through the greenish-black mist.

The cultivators inside the numerous cave dwellings had been watching the battle in the sky. When they saw the massive legion of low-level primal beings directly above them, they became incredibly tense. But when the destructive power swept down into the city, all they felt was despair. The greenish-black mist had tried its best to block the attack, but it only managed to stop a portion of the power; the terrifying remaining force still swept over them.

On the path of cultivation, there were all sorts of calamities. Cultivators fought and killed each other, fell into bottlenecks in their comprehension of the Great Dao, and faced great risks when hunting low-level primal beings. Now, a disaster had descended from the heavens: an army breaking through the city!

A middle-aged man sat there, gazing up at the surging power descending upon them. He was a cultivator who had emerged from billions of worlds, and he had no clone; this was his true body. “But this path of cultivation is simply too appealing to me!” The middle-aged man smiled. He had become fascinated with cultivation the moment he encountered it, starting from the lowest level of a weak world.

The man trained his body, mind, and swordsmanship, constantly evolving and encountering more. His lifespan even exceeded a cycle of his home world. He had traveled to other worlds and entered higher-level ones.

He continuously absorbed more cultivation knowledge and steadily strengthened himself.

“On this path, I, Cang Yu, have no regrets!”

Under the terrifying power, the middle-aged man instantly turned to dust. Even at the moment of his disintegration, he faced it with a smile.

All the cultivators in the numerous cave dwellings affected by the power died. At this moment, all four legions in Rain瀾 City were simultaneously retreating, and while fleeing, they also diverted some of their strength to begin slaughtering.

Their diverse powers cut off all possible escape routes for these cultivators.

Every cultivator who had made it to the Nine Rivers Holy Realm had a life story that could be called a legend, yet at this moment, they were perishing one by one before this catastrophe.

Such was the path of cultivation: besides conflicts and killings among fellow travelers, and encountering bottlenecks in one’s own cultivation, one could also face external cataclysms.

For instance, an origin world might be devoured, or a holy realm might completely vanish. There had even been cases where entire clusters of worlds, specifically those that cultivated God-Emperors, were utterly destroyed. In the face of such cataclysms, any individual being was powerless.

“The four legions of low-level primal beings have begun their slaughter!” The faces of the elders changed as they watched.

As the city lord, Luo Feng clearly perceived the situation throughout the city. The moment the city wall was breached, Luo Feng had a premonition of this outcome! If Rain瀾 City’s defenses had kept all the low-level primal legions outside, the losses within the city would have been negligible. But the city was breached, and the armies of low-level primal beings entered, inevitably leading to the massive slaughter and death of cultivators.

The low-level primal beings were still thinking of victory, so they seized the moment to rush to the core area as quickly as possible!

But now, everything had changed!

“All elders, suppress the four legions with all your might!” Luo Feng commanded from afar. “Yes.”

Nearly two hundred elders each deployed their own arrays, quickly cooperating with Luo Feng’s Heaven and Earth Array. All the elders worked together to suppress the four legions, forcing them to use more of their strength for self-preservation, leaving less power for slaughter.

Luo Feng’s strongest clone no longer paid attention to the four Limitless-level beings but instead headed directly for the nearest legion.

“Luo Feng is no longer bothering with us!” “His other clones are here!”

The four Limitless-level beings immediately saw Luo Feng’s other clones guarding the core area—a full ten clones were moving through the cracks in heaven and earth, heading straight for them!

Although Luo Feng’s clones were weaker than the Limitless-level beings, with the array’s assistance, ten clones were enough to restrain the four Limitless-level beings at this moment.

“Flee!” “Quick, flee!”

The four Limitless-level beings dared not hesitate and immediately fled together into the distance.

Luo Feng did not press them too hard. If the four Limitless-level beings were pushed to a corner and fought to the death, also wildly slaughtering cultivators, the casualties would be very severe.

This legion comprised over 600 God-Emperor Perfection-level beings, over 8,000 God-Emperor Late-stage beings, and some weaker low-level primal beings.

While resisting the Heaven and Earth Array and the elders’ array formations, they also diverted power for slaughter.

Very suddenly, without any warning, a colossal, furry claw appeared from within the dark greenish mist. This claw possessed terrifying power, instantly piercing through the multiple layers of protection of this legion. “Oh no!” The members of this legion were filled with shock and fury!

After piercing the protective layers, the colossal claw instantly swept through a large number of God-Emperor Late-stage beings and some God-Emperor Perfection-level beings, immediately causing numerous casualties.

“Repel it!” “It’s Luo Feng’s secret treasure claw, repel it!”

This legion moved while suppressing and repelling the colossal claw.

“Protect the entire legion.” More and more layers of protection were erected, completely shielding the entire legion. They immediately discovered that this single claw attack had killed 19 leader-level members and 126 core members.

The entire legion was in a bit of an uproar. Their layered protective shields were originally meant to resist array formations, but this colossal claw was specifically targeting one point of attack.

One must understand that Luo Feng’s strongest clone had greater explosive power than the four Limitless-level beings combined. Its instantaneous burst of power was comparable to the combined attack of a hundred God-Emperor Perfection-level beings.

Luo Feng’s strength was too great; it was impossible for the entire legion to withstand his attacks everywhere. That was simply unachievable. Furthermore, with the assistance of the Heaven and Earth Array and the 200 elder arrays, various forces were besieging them, already placing a significant burden on them.

Moreover, Luo Feng concealed his presence and used the array to obscure himself, making it impossible for the legion to pinpoint his location.

Another claw struck, piercing into the middle section of the entire legion, resulting in over a hundred more casualties. The legion was primarily composed of leader-level and core members.

After all, the vast majority were mid-to-low-tier family members who had rushed in from other areas of the Nine Rivers Holy Realm and had not been widely recruited. “Beep! Beep!”

That colossal claw was unpredictable and mysterious, attacking from various positions within the black mist.

“We can’t pinpoint his location!” “He’s everywhere!” The entire legion was in a panic! In reality, Luo Feng’s strongest clone had transformed into an endless sea of blood, merging with the Heaven and Earth Array, virtually covering most of the legion’s area.

Because the range was so vast, through causal perception, they only felt Luo Feng’s presence everywhere around them.

“Run, run, run!” “Flee quickly!”

Under repeated attacks from the colossal claw, this legion was unable to divert its attention to slaughter cultivators and immediately began a frenzied escape, fleeing at full speed, shielding themselves with layers of boundless power.

Their escape speed was nowhere near Luo Feng’s pursuit speed.

Luo Feng delivered a few more claw strikes! “Over 200 God-Emperor Perfection-level beings and 1,500 God-Emperor Late-stage beings have been killed!” Luo Feng stopped.

If he had continued, with the assistance of the array, he could have completely annihilated this legion, leaving none alive.

While he was dealing with this legion, the other three legions were also slaughtering cultivators.

Luo Feng’s strongest clone moved through the cracks in heaven and earth, hurrying towards another legion. “Luo Feng is no longer attacking us!” This heavily damaged legion noticed that the colossal claw had disappeared and was no longer attacking, but after losing a third of its strength, they felt nothing but panic.

As they resisted the siege of the Heaven and Earth Array and the elders’ arrays, members were dying every moment.

“We can’t attract Luo Feng over here again; a few more times and we’ll be completely finished!”

“Quick!” After taking over a dozen claw strikes, this legion no longer held any hope and fled with all its might!

“Hahaha, we escaped!” “We made it out!” The four Limitless-level beings burst out of Rain瀾 City, escaping the range of Luo Feng’s Heaven and Earth Array and the elders’ arrays.

Outside the city, there had originally been a small number of troops guarding to prevent cultivators from escaping, but with the defeat, all the low-level primal legions outside the city had already fled in disarray.

“Fortunately, the four legions are slaughtering, so Luo Feng can only go and stop them!” After flying away from Rain瀾 City, the four Limitless-level beings did not slow down. They continued to flee at full speed, and once they were far enough, they dispersed to escape individually.

The four Limitless-level beings moved further and further away from Rain瀾 City, intending to leave this area entirely and escape to other regions of the Nine Rivers Holy Realm.

On the city wall, four Luo Fengs stood, each with an Eye of Simulated Annihilation on their forehead.

“Can you escape?” Luo Feng’s four clones maintained a sufficient distance from the four Limitless-level beings, using the Eye of Simulated Annihilation to track them. They kept a close tail on the four Limitless-level beings from afar, knowing that once the legions within the city were dealt with, Luo Feng would naturally take care of them all.
