Node Eighteen

Latest update!

“Oh—” Mo Yuhu was somewhat startled, and then he was put away.

Morosa gave a simple, honest smile. He also looked into the distance and asked, “Master, are you preparing to act? Do you need my help?” Even if he were to act, he would at most unleash the methods of an Eternal True God, and would rather die than use any World Beast abilities.

“If I need you to intervene, I will let you know,” Luo Feng said, eager to try. He loved combat to his very core, and since becoming an Eternal True God, he had yet to encounter a worthy opponent.

“Alright,” Morosa said, a little disappointed. He also longed for a good fight.

“You stay here and watch; I’ll go up and take a look first.” As Luo Feng spoke, he had already flown closer.

Morosa stood high in the sky, watching the scene. He thought to himself, “Master hasn’t been an Eternal True God for long, and hasn’t had time to cultivate very powerful secret techniques. I hope this opponent is strong enough, so I can step in.”

Morosa was itching for action.

Even without using World Beast abilities, simply by relying on his comprehension of the ‘Dao of Destruction,’ Morosa had already devised numerous techniques.

“Hmm?” As Luo Feng flew closer, he also noticed a flying vessel carrying a team of True Gods entering the area.

Inside this flying vessel were one Void True God and over ten True Gods. They were cautiously piloting the vessel towards Huyang City, avoiding dangerous areas along the way.

“Suo Zi, Suo Yun, you two will settle in Huyang City from now on,” the long-haired man leading them instructed. “Huyang City is a large city, with countless True Gods. Even Void True Gods are just ordinary members there. And you True Gods will only be considered at the bottom.”

The two young men listened obediently.

This long-haired man was their tribe’s chief, the only Void True God in the entire tribe. He had also lived in Huyang City for a long time previously.

“Once you reach Huyang City, you must be low-key. Those who show off their treasures will lose their lives in an instant,” the chief said. “Be low-key, low-key, and still low-key. Even if you are the most talented in the tribe, you still must be low-key. Because you are too weak right now.”

“Yes,” the two young men replied.

“As ordinary True Gods, as long as you don’t show off, no one will attack you. After all, Huyang City also has laws and order,” the chief explained. “But as soon as you flaunt your wealth or boast, your life will silently disappear! Even the Huyang Guards won’t be able to find the killer.”

“Haha, Chief, you’ve told us these things many times already.”

“These two youngsters will definitely remember it well.”

Other members of the team also chuckled.

The chief smiled and nodded: “The first thing you must do when you arrive in Huyang City is to thoroughly examine your bloodlines. After that, look for secret techniques suitable for yourselves. Huyang City offers countless opportunities; as long as you seize them, you have a chance to become Void True Gods.”

Both young men, Suo Zi and Suo Yun, had longing in their eyes.

They were unwilling to spend their entire lives in the tribe, where they feared they would remain only True Gods forever. They also wished to become Void True Gods and experience more of the world’s wonders.

“Chief, please rest assured, we have committed to memory how to survive in Huyang City,” Suo Yun said.

The chief nodded slightly, and then his expression suddenly changed.

“This is bad.” The chief’s aura surged instantly. He immediately burned his divine body, and his surging divine power fully controlled the entire flying vessel, as layers of dazzling array formations appeared on its surface.

At that moment, ten terrifying shadows appeared simultaneously, their invisible power merging into one as they attacked the flying vessel.

“Military array formation? Ten Void True Gods?” The chief knew this was bad. He had stayed in Huyang City before and had extensive experience, but later, the deaths of his loved ones and close friends made him weary of life in Huyang City. He went into the wilderness and settled in a small tribe.

After a long time, he naturally became the chief of the entire tribe, and also attracted many weaker True Gods to join them.

After all, those who survived in the wilderness were generally very weak and poor True Gods. With a Void True God as their backing, a larger tribe naturally formed.

“Boom!”

The ten shadows jointly besieged the vessel, as layers of array formations appeared and coordinated on its surface. Even if one or two layers of formations were broken, new ones would emerge.

“He certainly has some capability,” the ten shadows were surprised.

They were military elites, personal guards of the Army Lord ‘Heiduomo’! It was extremely rare for a single Void True God to withstand the combined efforts of ten of them for any length of time.

“Deal with him quickly.”

“We can’t delay.”

They also feared enraging their Army Lord. If the Army Lord had to intervene personally, it would mean they, his personal guards, were useless.

“Boom.” “Boom.” “Boom.”…

All ten shadows’ auras surged.

“What?! Ten military powerhouses, all burning their divine bodies and fighting desperately? I was just passing by!” The chief couldn’t believe it. What kind of deep hatred would cause them to burn their divine bodies and fight to the death immediately?

The chief glanced at his tribesmen beside him, regret in his eyes.

“We won’t be able to escape this time; we’re all likely to die here,” the long-haired man stated.

The dozen or so True Gods from the same tribe were stunned.

Suo Zi and Suo Yun, the two young True Gods, were even more bewildered. They had just been filled with longing and expectation for life in Huyang City, and now they were about to die?

They had been born in the tribe and had never even visited a large city.

“This is fate.”

“We’ve seen what there is to see, and experienced what there is to experience.”

“It’s a pity Suo Yun and Suo Zi are still so young; they haven’t even been to a great city.”

Most of the other True Gods in the tribe were quite composed. They were elites within the tribe, having followed the chief to Huyang City for purchases several times, and frequently went out to hunt strange beasts, accustomed to life and death.

“Is it finally my turn?” The chief calmly awaited his fate, his eyes filled with reminiscence.

The other True Gods in the tribe also looked outside the flying vessel, at the terrifying scene of the siege, each able only to await the arrival of death.

Suddenly—

“What is this?”

“This—”

The chief, Suo Zi, Suo Yun, and all their tribesmen stared in astonishment at the outside. They saw a black-haired man appear out of thin air outside, with a pair of dark golden horns and deep eyes.

The moment he appeared, the ten shadows were so startled that they immediately fled: “It’s an Eternal True God!”

The chief inside the flying vessel reacted the fastest, immediately flying out and bowing respectfully: “Greetings, Esteemed One!”

Luo Feng glanced at him, nodded slightly, and then with a wave of his hand, he collected the entire flying vessel, including the chief, into his possession.

He might have to fight that unknown Eternal True God, and even a small aftershock could kill these weaker beings. Luo Feng was unwilling to involve the innocent, so he decided to collect them first.

Luo Feng then looked up, gazing towards where the powerful force lay dormant in the distance, and where the ten shadows had fled.

“I see you,” Luo Feng said with a smile.

The black-robed figure lurking in the distance was seething with irritation. Although his strength was formidable, having cultivated to the eighth stage of the Eternal True God realm according to the bloodline cultivation method, he was considered extremely powerful among Eternal True Gods.

However, at this crucial moment of harvesting the Blue-Violet Blood Crystal Flower, he did not want any unexpected incidents.

Yet, what he feared most had come to pass!

“This is my cultivation ground.” A terrifying power was slightly released, and a low voice resonated. “This passing Divine Lord, please leave.”

‘Divine Lord’ was considered an honorific title in Origin Continent.

“‘Cultivation ground’?” Luo Feng chuckled. “How is it that I’ve detected the aura of a rare cosmic treasure?”

From where the terrifying power enveloped the distance, a black-robed figure directly revealed himself.

The black-robed figure’s expression was grim and angry at this moment. He had already done his best to conceal the aura, but the aura of the cosmic treasure was too profound; to ‘perfectly conceal’ it, one generally needed to be at the level of a Chaos Master.

“The Blue-Violet Blood Crystal Flower’s blooming period is only ten days in total. Within these ten days, besides me, another Eternal True God has actually passed by, and he even detected the treasure’s aura,” the black-robed figure sighed inwardly.

After revealing himself, the black-robed figure gazed at Luo Feng from afar.

Their gazes met.

“Indeed there is a cosmic treasure here, but I discovered it first,” the black-robed figure said. “Whoever dares to snatch it, I will kill!”

He was gambling.

He gambled that Luo Feng, not knowing what the cosmic treasure was, wouldn’t rashly make a move.

However, he didn’t know that Luo Feng, apart from a few crucial treasures on him, was otherwise destitute and desperately needed treasures to exchange for resources. Moreover, Luo Feng had been lonely and isolated in the Primal Universe region for too long and had long yearned for a great battle.

“I’d very much like to try,” Luo Feng said, his eyes filled with battle intent.

“You are forcing my hand,” the black-robed figure sighed softly. The surrounding world instantly grew darker, and the ten shadow guards beside him silently disintegrated and died. When the ten shadows died, they seemed somewhat in disbelief.

“You killed your subordinates?” Luo Feng was puzzled.

“Once they knew about the cosmic treasure, they were fated to die,” the black-robed figure said calmly. “Originally, they could have lived a few more days, and I would have killed them after this was over. Who would have thought you would arrive!”

For ordinary treasures, there was no need to kill personal guards. Heiduomo was capable enough to withstand the scrutiny that ordinary treasures might attract.

But the Blue-Violet Blood Crystal Flower was too precious; once exposed, it would bring too much trouble, and Heiduomo wasn’t sure he could handle it. Therefore, Heiduomo’s method was to kill all living beings who approached this area. Naturally, he had no intention of sparing the ten personal guards who had been with him all along.

“Tell me your name. An Eternal True God is worthy of me remembering,” the black-robed figure stated.

“Since you’re about to die, there’s no need to know too much,” Luo Feng replied.

The black-robed figure laughed in extreme anger.

He was reluctant to act rashly because no Eternal True God in Origin Continent could be underestimated; after all, anyone might suddenly produce a terrifying treasure. However, that didn’t mean he lacked confidence!

Having reached the eighth stage of the Eternal True God realm, Heiduomo was already considered extremely powerful among Eternal True Gods; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sent to oversee various matters in Huyang City.

“I, an old hand, am being cautious, but this Eternal True God doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.” The killing move the black-robed figure had been brewing instantly unleashed.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng sensed it.

Some unknown fundamental law had been leveraged.

A black-silver tapered cone appeared out of thin air.

This black-silver tapered cone had dense secret patterns on its surface, which flowed with terrifying power. The moment it appeared, it was already before Luo Feng, moving at a speed that distorted space itself and caused slight fluctuations in the flow of time.

Luo Feng’s body wasn’t large, but as a perfect divine body, its size could be altered at will; though seemingly small, it was actually immensely vast. Moreover, the small universe in his homeworld was continuously condensing divine power, which was constantly supplied through his True God heart, causing Luo Feng’s divine body to continually grow.

This black-silver tapered cone, about half Luo Feng’s height, instantly struck Luo Feng’s chest. “Boom!!!” It was as if two colossal mountains had collided at super high speed. Even with his perfect divine body, Luo Feng was forced back a step by the impact of this black-silver tapered cone, his retreat causing the void to tremble.

Simultaneously, one tapered cone after another appeared out of thin air.

The moment they appeared, these tapered cones were already before Luo Feng!

Some tapered cones struck Luo Feng’s head, others his back, some his face… Cone after cone, they assaulted Luo Feng from all directions.

Nineteen tapered cones in total!

The nineteen tapered cones cooperated with each other, their terrifying impacts continuous like flowing water. The destructive power they carried surged into Luo Feng’s body, attempting to completely obliterate his divine body.

Moreover, each tapered cone transmitted a strange toxin, permeating Luo Feng’s divine body and eroding his consciousness.

“Law toxin?” Luo Feng realized, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “This is truly interesting.”

It had been too long since he had encountered such an interesting opponent.
