Chapter 9: Arrival at Hu Yang City

“He died before even reaching Hu Yang City?” Council Leader Zanyun mused, “Where he died, and why he died, I know nothing. This matter must be reported immediately!”

He dared not hesitate. A thought, and a miniature universe descended, causing the clouds and mist around Heavenly Cloud Tower to churn, naturally obscuring the entire top floor.

Eternal Gods mostly employed the ‘A Thought, Universe Born’ technique silently, subtly. The descending universe scene would even naturally integrate into the world, completely controlling the surrounding area.

Immediately, Council Leader Zanyun rose and performed a secret technique with utmost respect. A single point of blood-colored flame was born from nothing, radiating an aura of calamity and darkness.

“Lord Marquis,” Council Leader Zanyun said respectfully, “Just now, my communication talisman can no longer sense Hei Duomo.”

“His life token is shattered. He is indeed dead.” The blood-colored flame slowly released its aura of calamity, “He died just as he reached Hu Yang City. Was it an expert dispatched by Yu Country? Or one sent by Marquis Jiu Jiang?”

Shi Country harbored ambitions towards the surrounding Divine Kingdoms. Shi Country and Yu Country naturally had a poor relationship; their secret struggles never ceased.

It was normal for subordinates to die.

“He had not yet reached Hu Yang City,” Council Leader Zanyun immediately explained.

“Oh?” The blood-colored flame questioned, “He should have arrived.”

“Hei Duomo should have arrived. Today was even the final deadline.” Council Leader Zanyun said respectfully, “Just today, I contacted him, urging him. He said, however, that he needed to delay his arrival by a few days, and he said nothing else.”

The blood-colored flame emitted a voice: “Since he said he could arrive in a few days, he should still be within the territory of Jiu Jiang Chaos Province. You should investigate carefully, find out how exactly he died.”

“Yes,” Council Leader Zanyun replied respectfully, “Lord Marquis, I am a bit short on experts here…”

“Soon, you won’t be short anymore.” The blood-colored flame then disappeared.

Council Leader Zanyun breathed a sigh of relief.

“Hei Duomo, that idiot, even lost his life just traveling.” After reporting, Council Leader Zanyun leisurely sat down. “Whoever could kill him must be extraordinarily strong. I have no ability to investigate! Surely the Marquis won’t blame me.”

Serving a Chaos Dominator, even venturing into another country’s territory and taking such a risk, Council Leader Zanyun naturally wanted to reap significant benefits.

As for risking his life? He would avoid it if he could.

The death of Hei Duomo clearly involved a great expert. Council Leader Zanyun had no intention of investigating at all.

If he rushed into everything, Council Leader Zanyun wouldn’t have lived this long.

Under the night sky.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged beside that Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower.

The captured flying vessel would be released after he finished harvesting the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower.

“Having my first battle with a native Eternal God of the Origin Continent, I can indeed see many of my own shortcomings.” Luo Feng thought, “I just became an Eternal God; many secret techniques I have not even begun to cultivate.”

In this confrontation, he was completely overwhelmed in close combat.

He only withstood all the attacks because of his Perfect Divine Body.

“If I encounter someone skilled at trapping enemies, they could probably trap me in just two or three moves. Then I’d have to rely on will secret techniques, or mechanical flow treasures!” Luo Feng mused, “From a long-term perspective, my future opponents will probably be at the level of the Third Country Lord of Shi Country.”

“Therefore, I still need to increase my strengths, cultivate the *Lie Yuan Technique* to raise my will to a higher level!”

“At the same time, a major realm breakthrough is crucial. I must now find a way to break through to the Chaos Dominator realm.”

“To become a Chaos Dominator, one must comprehend a Chaos Law.” Luo Feng thought, “One aspect is to actively comprehend Chaos Laws; the other is to learn some secret techniques related to Chaos Laws.”

From practice, he could experience some of the fundamental mysteries of Chaos Laws.

Combining practice and theory would allow him to master Chaos Laws more quickly.

“The body refining secret techniques I chose, *Chaos Great Strength Diagram* and *World Piercing Nine Blades*, are both secret techniques that lead to the Chaos Realm.” Luo Feng didn’t lack secret techniques; he was just a little poor.

“In the coming period, I will mainly cultivate *Chaos Great Strength Diagram*, *World Piercing Nine Blades*, and *Lie Yuan Technique*, and supplement them with *Severance*, *East Flower*, and *Nine Nightmares Realm*.”

From the perspective of his own growth, he determined his primary and secondary cultivation methods.

The three inheritances of the Duan Dong River lineage were good, but they were all auxiliary, making successive inheritors more skilled at self-preservation. As for resources, the inheritors had to work hard to acquire them themselves.

“This *Chaos Great Strength Diagram* requires cultivating the Divine Body as if it were a treasure, and requires a lot of resources. I wonder how long this single Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower will be enough for me to cultivate.” Luo Feng thought.

The key to the Divine Body was the ‘True God Heart’. As long as the True God Heart was protected from damage, the Divine Body could be refined to one’s heart’s content.

Therefore, generations of experts on the Origin Continent created various body refining secret techniques. But without a doubt, the stronger the foundation of the Divine Body, the better the effect after cultivating body refining secret techniques. Luo Feng had a Perfect Divine Body, and naturally would choose body refining secret techniques to make his Divine Body even stronger!

“I need to go to Hu Yang City to purchase the resources needed for body refining secret techniques.” Luo Feng decided, and then began comprehending the *World Piercing Nine Blades*.

……

A space within the Star Tower.

A flying vessel was there. The clan leader and more than ten True Gods looked at this space with puzzlement. They only felt that the end of the surrounding space was gray, and time and space were completely sealed off, making it impossible to get out.

“Clan Leader, what is that Supreme planning to do by capturing us here?” “Will he treat us as experimental materials?”

“I heard that many True Gods in Hu Yang City go to test medicines. Is this Supreme going to capture us to test medicines?” The True Gods in the team made various speculations and were somewhat uneasy, after all, they had no power to resist.

Suo Zi and Suo Yun, two young True Gods, listened to the discussions of the elders in the clan and were also worried.

The clan leader smiled: “If it weren’t for this Supreme, we would all be dead just now. This Supreme has saved our lives. If he needs us to do anything, it is also an opportunity for us. In Hu Yang City, many True Gods yearn for the opportunity to work for an Eternal God.”

The clan leader had dealt with Eternal Gods before, and he knew very well that the lofty Eternal Gods did not care about weaklings like them.

Since they saved them, they wouldn’t kill them unnecessarily.

“Clan Leader, what do we do now?” Suo Zi asked.

“Wait patiently,” the clan leader said.

……

Day and night alternated.

A day on the Origin Continent was very long. Luo Feng cultivated beside the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower for three days, gaining some insights into the *World Piercing Nine Blades*, *Lie Yuan Technique*, and *Severance*.

!.

“A day on the Origin Continent is very long, probably equivalent to a year on my home planet, Earth,” Luo Feng thought.

At this moment, the sky was bright, and white clouds floated, it was daytime. But if you looked up, you could still see a very few of the brightest stars.

“Hmm?”

Luo Feng suddenly smelled an increasingly strong floral fragrance, which even made his soul consciousness feel extremely happy. He immediately turned his head and saw that the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower was gently swaying, and the surface of the petals seemed to be emitting light.

“It’s finally about to fully mature.” Luo Feng smiled. After emitting the most intense fragrance, the light of the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower finally converged, becoming ordinary, and silently broke off from its stem, falling to the ground.

Luo Feng waved his hand, and under the wrapping of divine power, the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower floated in front of him.

“I heard that this Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower is of great help to bloodline cultivation.” Luo Feng praised, “But I am not a native of the Origin Continent, and I can’t practice bloodline cultivation.”

The geniuses who broke through the cycle from the three thousand original universes to the Origin Continent could only comprehend laws.

Living beings born on the Origin Continent have various special bloodlines lurking in their bodies, so they are qualified to enter the ‘Bloodline Cultivation Method’.

Luo Feng put the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower into a wooden box.

“It’s time to go to Hu Yang City.”

Luo Feng took a step and had already left through the void, and at the same time summoned Mo Luosa and Mo Yu Hu.

“Mo Yu Hu, continue to lead the way,” Luo Feng said.

“Yes.” Mo Yu Hu didn’t dare to ask any more questions. He glanced around and continued to lead the way.

Luo Feng looked at Mo Luosa beside him: “Looking at how happy you are, did you gain a lot?”

“I have gained quite a few things.” Mo Luosa showed joy and communicated with his mind, “Master, if I have thousands of good things like this, I estimate I will be able to reach the Chaos Realm.”

Luo Feng glanced at him.

Swallowing thousands of Eternal Gods? How daring!

“You should still absorb the power of heaven and earth.” Luo Feng ignored him. The energy in the heaven and earth of the Origin Continent was so dense that it turned into tangible mist. Absorbing the power of heaven and earth was also effective.

Whoosh——

After flying through the void for a long time again, Luo Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“That is?” As a perfect divine body, Luo Feng’s observation range was also extremely far, and now he had already seen a towering city at the end of the flying direction.

This city was like a wall of the world. The height of the city wall was higher than any high mountain Luo Feng had seen since he came to the Origin Continent! Hei Duomo’s true body, compared to the height of the city wall, was less than one ten-thousandth of the height of the city wall.

Under the clouds and mist condensed by the power of heaven and earth, the entire towering city was looming, and Luo Feng could not see the end of the city wall.

“Although I knew how huge the large cities of the Origin Continent were, I still feel shocked when I see them with my own eyes,” Luo Feng thought in his heart.

“Supreme, we are about to arrive at Hu Yang City.” Mo Yu Hu also saw the outline of Hu Yang City from afar and said, “The entire Jiu Jiang Chaos Province only has three large cities. Each large city is built on the Ruins of Chaos. They are jointly built by mechanical school experts and are extremely stable fortress cities.”

As he flew closer, Mo Yu Hu pointed to the front and said, “Supreme, the front is the East City Gate of Hu Yang City. The two behemoths floating above the East City Wall are two of the Ten Great Legions of Hu Yang City – the Vine Flood Dragon Legion and the Golden Jade Legion!”

Luo Feng glanced at it. A huge mass of plants was suspended in the sky on the south side of the city wall of Hu Yang City. The whole body was emerald green and had a large number of branches. One could see a large number of True Gods entering and leaving this huge mass of plants along the branches.

In the sky on the north side of the city wall, there was a golden octahedron suspended. This octahedron was extremely huge, and a large number of True Gods were also entering and leaving along the light belt.

A huge mass of plants, a golden octahedron, were two of the Ten Great Legions of Hu Yang City.
