Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent
Volume 7: [Nine Rivers Holy Realm]
Chapter 25(297): [The Largest Race]
(25th of Volume 7)
***********************************
"Blood Demon Elysi was actually killed?" Di Qing's heart surged with turmoil.
These naturally born Hunyuan beings, though their combat techniques are simple, possess an incredibly tenacious vitality. Defeating them is manageable, but killing them is an almost impossible feat!
From the experiences of the Nine Rivers Holy Realm, when an Enlightened being of the same level faces a low-level Hunyuan lifeform in a one-on-one battle, the Enlightened being usually holds a slight edge.
But to truly take their life? The difficulty is beyond imagination.
This is precisely why multiple team members are required to cooperate with each other to even kill one Hunyuan lifeform.
"Luo Feng managed to slay a late-stage God Emperor realm Hunyuan lifeform all on his own? Such strength places him among the top-tier even among the elders!"
Di Qing pondered, "Even Elder Tianhe isn't that terrifying."
No matter how deep Elder Tianhe's foundations ran, unless he had reached the Semi-Hunyuan level, it would be impossible for him to eliminate Luo Feng, who possessed such immense power.
Even if Elder Tianhe held a slight advantage, Luo Feng's name would still spread throughout Yulan City!
"Alright, let's continue the hunt." Di Qing steadied his emotions and directed the black flying ship forward.
"Brother Luo Feng, this is likely our last hunt together," Di Qing sighed. "I thought I could still contribute, but I didn't expect to become completely useless- a burden, even."
The threat posed by late-stage God Emperor realm lifeforms was simply too overwhelming.
Just like the previous "Poison of Elysi"- even the slightest touch of a God Emperor's aura would be enough to reduce his clone to ashes.
Luo Feng smiled. "Brother Di Qing, you've advanced to the mid-stage of the God Emperor realm in just a single cycle on the Origin Continent. Your talent surpasses even the founders of the two ancient nations. In the future, you won't just reach the elder level- you might even have a chance to break through to the Semi-Hunyuan Realm!"
Di Qing smiled faintly. He indeed had confidence in his potential, but he also knew that reaching such a level would require an immense amount of time, countless tribulations, and a constant wander on the edge of Life and death. Even then, the Semi-Hunyuan might be the absolute limit of his life.
Yet Luo Feng's progress was on an entirely different level. The Semi-Hunyuan realm seemed to be within his grasp, with no obstacles in sight.
"Perhaps the only thing that could slow Brother Luo Feng down is breaking free from the cage. With his talent, he might actually have a chance to do it," Di Qing mused. He knew, however, that escaping the cage was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
In the Dark Holy Realm, late-stage God Emperors who had grasped the Dao are merely the entry-level standard- Semi-Hunyuan powerhouses are everywhere.
Here, countless mighty beings from different worlds had gathered, yet "breaking free from the cage" remained nothing more than a legend. It was an insurmountable challenge, an impossibility for most.
"I wonder... can Luo Feng's potential truly allow him to break free from the cage and become a genuine supreme existence?" Di Qing speculated.
As they conversed, their vigilance never wavered. The Bionic Eye of Destruction embedded in Luo Feng's brow constantly scanned the surroundings, while the Azure Heaven Destruction Array Diagram within him remained active, forming a vast domain that safeguarded the area. It was thanks to this very array that Luo Feng had been able to save Di Qing in time from the Blood Demon Elysi's ambush.
[T/N: I changed Xuanqing tian Destruction Formation Diagram to Azure Heaven Destruction Array Diagram]
Suddenly, Luo Feng's Bionic Eye of Destruction flickered as he gazed into the distance.
"Hmm?"
Far ahead, a thick mist obscured the landscape. But even through the haze, Luo Feng could vaguely see a creature lurking within- a towering, eight-legged beast covered in blue and white scales, each adorned with a single sharp horn. A chilling aura radiated from its body, forming the dense fog around it.
"It's the Frost Soul Watchers- there are fifteen of them." Luo Feng's eyes gleamed with interest.
Among the countless Low-Level Hunyuan lifeforms in the Nine Rivers Holy Realm, Frost Soul Watchers stood out in sheer numbers.
In fact, they are the most numerous.
Hunters in Yulan City had even witnessed thousands of Frost Soul Watchers moving together, with three Perfection God Emperor-level Watchers among them. With such an overwhelming force, not a single practitioners in Yulan City dared to interfere.
Frost Soul Watchers typically operates in groups for extended periods, making it exceptionally rare to encounter a lone Frost Warden.
A lonely Frost Soul Watchers usually wander after exiled from their clan after failing to claim leadership.
Only those who had reached the Perfection God Emperor realm were qualified to compete for leadership, making these isolated individuals even more fearsome and unpredictable.
"Fifteen Frost Soul Watchers?" Di Qing exclaimed in surprise. "Seems like a small hunting squad."
Luo Feng narrowed his eyes, analyzing their formation. "Judging by their size, aura, and scale patterns, all of them are mid-stage God Emperors."
Frost Soul Watchers, though numerous among the Low-Level Hunyuan races, were otherwise quite average. They had basic proficiency in stealth, evasion, attack, and defense- but none of these abilities were particularly outstanding.
"These fifteen Frost Soul Watchers- we should take them all down at once."
Luo Feng turned to Di Qing. "Di Qing, lend a hand as well."
Di Qing nodded. "Alright. I'll do my best to block their escape."
The drifting cloud formation was sluggish, moving with a deliberate pace. Within the mist, fifteen Frost Soul Watchers stood alert, scanning their surroundings with unwavering vigilance.
Though their observational abilities were far inferior to Luo Feng's Bionic Eye of Destruction, they still had a keen sense of their environment. Patient and meticulous, they remained motionless, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike as one.
The Low-level Hunyuan Beings have a natural tendency to hunt practitioners, and among them, the Frost Soul Watchers are particularly ferocious. With their overwhelming numbers, they sometimes even devour other Low-level Hunyuan beings.
"Whoosh~~~~" Suddenly, an endless wave of blood appeared, spreading across the sky and engulfing the battlefield in a blood-colored tide.
The blood-red sky descended, covering both the massive cloud and the fifteen Frost Soul Watchers within it.
"Practitioners!" The Frost Soul Watchers immediately locked onto two figures standing at the heart of the blood wave- Luo Feng and Di Qing.
"Attack!"
The blood wave surged forward, attempting to devour and crush the cloud mass. However, the icy cloud stubbornly resisted, holding its ground against the attack.
At the same time, Di Qing was positioning himself at a distance, preparing to set up a sword formation.
"The one controlling the blood wave seems to be a late-stage God Emperor who has comprehended the Dao. The other one is much weaker."
"If we work together, we can break through this blood tide and tear them apart!"
Despite the threat, the fifteen Frost Soul Watchers did not hesitate. If three or five elders had appeared, they would have fled immediately. But facing just one practitioners of elder-level strength? They excelled in group battles, and with fifteen of them, they had no fear- even against a late-stage Enlightened God Emperor.
"Boom~~~"
The fifteen Frost Soul Watchers moved as one, releasing a terrifying icy aura. Their frost clouds fused together, forming a massive protective barrier, completely blocking the invasion of Luo Feng's Blood Sea.
"Practitioners, prepare to die!"
The massive cloud shifted, morphing into gigantic claws that reached for Luo Feng with overwhelming force.
Luo Feng resisted, but the enormous claw still tore through him- his body shattered, dissolving into a wave of blood that merged back into the endless sea of blood.
"He specializes in transformation and blood manipulation, but his physical combat skills are lacking."
The Frost Soul Watchers exchanged thoughts instantly:
"Devour his Blood Sea!"
Without hesitation, their frost cloud began frantically absorbing the waves of blood, attempting to drain Luo Feng's strength.
"Rip!"
The endless sea of blood suddenly erupted with fury.
"Azure Heaven- Heaven and Earth in a Line!"
A blinding streak of light, infused with the power of life and death, pierced through the icy cloud formation and impaled one of the Frost Soul Watchers, instantly shattering its life core.
As the light swept past, the corpse vanished into nothingness, leaving only blood in its wake.
"What?!"
The remaining fourteen Frost Soul Watchers were stunned.
"His Endless Blood Sea contains a formation, and it's quite powerful!"
"Then we'll keep absorbing it. The smaller his Blood Sea gets, the weaker his formation will become!"
The massive cloud continued to frantically drain the Blood Sea, suppressing its power as much as possible.
Luo Feng smirked inwardly.
"These naturally born Hunyuan beings have some truly bizarre abilities."
But he deliberately feigned weakness, ensuring that his prey wouldn't realize the trap until it was too late.
Since interception is difficult when the enemy is fleeing, the key is to first make the Frost Soul Watchers believe they have a chance to win.
Luo Feng released an endless sea of blood- though in reality, this was only one percent of the energy reserve of the true Blood Sea.
However, among practitioners, this level of strength appeared entirely normal. The Frost Soul Watchers did not suspect anything.
"Whoosh!"
A piercing beam of Life and Death Light streaked through the dense cloud, claiming another Frost Soul Watcher.
"We've already consumed thirty percent of the Blood Sea- it won't last much longer."
Yet, the Frost Soul Watchers were unwilling to retreat. Desperate, they continued devouring the Blood Sea, visibly shrinking its vast expanse.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Three more bursts of the Life and Death Light struck, taking down three more Frost Soul Watchers. By now, the once-boundless Blood Sea had significantly diminished.
"Sizzle..."
The sixth Life and Death Light failed to pierce the cloud layer.
"His Blood Sea is down to only 30%- the formation's power has weakened considerably. It's no longer a threat to us."
The remaining ten Frost Soul Watchers grew even more aggressive. Having lost five of their comrades, their thirst for blood only intensified.
"You low-level Hunyuan beings do have some skills- but you can't do anything to me."
Suddenly, a blood shadow attempted to flee.
"Escape?"
The ten Frost Soul Watchers instantly locked onto the fleeing figure. An invisible ripple spread through the Blood Sea- this was their innate ability: Soul Freeze!
Though a simultaneous Soul Freeze from ten Frost Soul Watchers wasn't overwhelmingly strong, it could disrupt movement techniques. However, Luo Feng had both Elemental Art and the Immortal Heart, which provided powerful soul protection. This Soul Freeze was utterly ineffective against him.
Yet, to deceive them-
"Ah!"
The escaping blood shadow momentarily trembled, its movement broken, revealing a physical form.
"Practitioner, you can't escape!"
Excitement surged through the Frost Soul Watchers. The surrounding cloud swelled massively, attempting to completely engulf both Luo Feng and the remaining blood waves.
"Really?" Luo Feng smirked, feigning panic.
"Boom!"
With a sudden explosion of speed, he transformed into an afterimage, tearing through the Blood Sea like a phantom.
A blurred claw lashed out- shattering the core of another Frost Soul Watcher, leaving behind another lifeless corpse.
"What?!"
The remaining nine Frost Soul Watchers wavered. Their prey, whose strength they believed had significantly declined, had just taken down another one of them.
"No matter!"
Luo Feng had no intention of dragging this out any longer.
The number of Frost Soul Watchers had already dropped from fifteen to nine- less than half their original force.
The remaining ones posed far less of a threat.
Battles in the Elders' hunting zones needed to be swift; if prolonged, unexpected dangers could arise.
"Boom~~~~"
The endless Blood Sea erupted once more- this time, an enormous figure emerged from within.
This towering form possessed an Immortal Heart at its core. Through it, countless veins extended outward, linking to every drop of the boundless Blood Sea.
With the Immortal Heart guiding it, the Undying Blood Sea Body experienced an instantaneous power surge, growing several times stronger!
As Luo Feng's Undying Blood Sea Body fully erupted, his right hand transformed into a giant, furry claw. Empowered by the Undying Body, this claw instantly tore through the massive cloud and the Frost Soul Watcher squad, killing two of them on the spot.
"He's been hiding his true strength!"
"He's not just an ordinary veteran!"
"Retreat!" The remaining seven Frost Soul Watchers realized they had fallen into a trap. Without hesitation, they transformed into seven beams of light, attempting to flee.
These beams resembled soul energy, allowing them to pass through the blood waves with little resistance, escaping at incredible speed.
However, while they had some evasion abilities, they were far weaker than beings like Blood Demon Elysi when it came to true escape techniques. Luo Feng's sharp gaze locked onto the seven fleeing lights.
"Boom!" The sea of blood surged, causing the world itself to seem to twist and flip upside down.
"Suppress!" Luo Feng's Blood Sea Domain instantly enveloped the battlefield, trapping five of the escaping Frost Soul Watchers within the Eye of the Blood Sea. The other two tried to escape but were intercepted- one by Luo Feng's Palm World, a powerful sealing move, and the other by Di Qing's sword formation.
Within moments, all of the Frost Soul Watchers were captured and eliminated.
"I can't believe we took them all down," Luo Feng said, pleased with their success.
Facing a single Frost Soul Watcher wasn't difficult, but a team of fifteen posed a real challenge. This time, by strategically feigning weakness, they had outmaneuvered the enemy completely.
"Fifteen Frost Soul Watchers- worth nearly 200 million Hunyuan Crystals!" Di Qing was also thrilled- he had finally contributed to the fight.
"Let's leave immediately." Luo Feng, always cautious, knew they couldn't linger on the battlefield for long.
Without wasting time, they boarded the black flying ship and sped away.
Just a few breaths later, a terrifying presence arrived- a Frost Watcher with an imposing nine-headed aura.
Its icy gaze pierced through the void, scanning the battlefield. A chilling aura spread across the vast area, meticulously searching for any remaining traces of the battle.
