Chapter 183: Hegemon-Level Clash

Luo Feng’s world power covered twelve Chaos States. When the Heavenly Kun Monarch’s body attempted to enter this area, Luo Feng naturally detected it and instinctively repelled and compressed him.

“Buzz!” The dense world power compressed the Heavenly Kun Monarch, forcing him to reveal his true form.

An incredibly colossal body appeared between heaven and earth.

It possessed a pair of enormous wings and a gaping maw that took up one-third of its body. Its blood-red eyes were filled with ferocity, and a thick, scaly tail stretched across the sky and land.

Its wingspan, when fully extended, measured a staggering three hundred trillion kilometers! Its body was fifty to sixty trillion kilometers thick.

This was already its shrunken form, as any larger size would have been too vast for even heaven and earth.

“Primordial Chaos Bloodline,” Luo Feng murmured, observing the scene.

The Primordial Chaos Bloodline had an extremely high upper limit, capable of even transcending the confines of the caged world.

As a Divine King of the Second Layer, Heavenly Kun Monarch had deeply tapped into the potential of his Primordial Chaos Bloodline. The might of this colossal body, though not yet comparable to emperors and monarchs, already possessed a hint of their essence.

Whoosh.

The gigantic face that enveloped the twelve Chaos States vanished, revealing a silver-robed figure standing before the towering behemoth.

“Luo He, some actions demand a price,” the behemoth roared, its voice causing the vast, endless heaven and earth to tremble.

“Then let me see your capabilities. We’ll see who pays the price,” Luo Feng said calmly, observing him. He admitted that the Heavenly Kun Monarch’s true form was more dominant and powerful than his own World Lifeform.

As the two conversed, ancient existences from afar began to observe the battle.

Powerful beings could watch remotely from their own immortal abodes.

Those less powerful hastened to the vicinity of Yu State and Shi State.

“A clash between two overlords.” Divine King Polu also rushed to Yu State for a clearer view. “Divine King Luo He is still too confident. He has merely reached the threshold of an overlord. Heavenly Kun Monarch, however, has accumulated profound power… In this battle, I fear Divine King Luo He will suffer a great loss!”

“Luo Feng!” The Guest of Mount Seat also arrived at the border between Shi State and Yu State from the Ancient Thunder Kingdom to watch from afar.

His strength was somewhat weaker.

While in the Ancient Thunder Kingdom, he hadn’t sensed Luo Feng’s world power encompassing the twelve Chaos States, but he had been continuously gathering intelligence on Luo Feng and thus learned about Luo Feng’s falling out with Shi State.

“He just became a Divine King and immediately takes action, why such haste?” The Guest of Mount Seat muttered to himself. “Heavenly Kun Monarch is, after all, a Divine King of the Second Layer. It wouldn’t be too late for Luo Feng to act after breaking through to the Divine King’s Second Layer himself.”

The Guest of Mount Seat was extremely patient; he had waited for such a long time and would be patient enough to wait for another ten thousand epochs.

“Luo Feng might suffer a small loss, but his life won’t be in danger,” The Guest of Mount Seat reassured himself, watching the battle nervously.

Both ancient kingdoms and numerous ancient existences were closely following this battle.

After all, there were only so many overlords in the entire Origin Continent, and a clash between two of them was a rare event.

“Hahaha, you truly are confident.”

The Heavenly Kun Monarch’s colossal body rumbled, then opened its gaping maw! This blood-red mouth occupied one-third of its body, filled with densely interwoven sharp teeth, before letting out a terrifying roar!

Roar!!!

A black wind surged from its gaping maw, instantly sweeping across heaven and earth. Within the black wind, a faint grey current was hidden, causing Luo Feng to feel a tremor of shock just by observing it.

“Is this the Heavenly Kun Monarch’s ‘Annihilation Wind’?” Luo Feng had long since gathered detailed intelligence on the Heavenly Kun Monarch, knowing that once unleashed, this Annihilation Wind could destroy heaven and earth, posing a grave threat even to Divine Kings of the Second Layer.

“I’d like to see it myself.”

Luo Feng’s body instantly expanded, his feet touching the earth, his head nearly brushing the starry sky.

The silver-robed Luo Feng stood still, and the silver robe on his body naturally extended, forming a silver firmament that actively intercepted the terrifying black wind.

“Chizhi zhi!” The Annihilation Wind, a bloodline technique comprehended by the Heavenly Kun Monarch from his Primordial Chaos Bloodline through the realm of the Dao of Material Origin, possessed extremely strong erosive and destructive power. The moment it touched the silver firmament, the firmament resisted resiliently, filled with endless vitality, yet it was still corroded, creating huge holes.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The Annihilation Wind eroded and shattered the silver-robed firmament, continuing to blow towards Luo Feng.

“Hua hua hua!” Although the silver robe was eroded, it naturally regenerated from nothingness, intercepting again, only to be annihilated once more.

Luo Feng’s silver robe continued to expand, constantly intercepting and being permeated and destroyed.

From the visible situation, the Annihilation Wind was clearly more dominant.

However, the silver robe, as it spread, was brimming with endless vitality, capable of regenerating repeatedly from nothingness. Moreover, Luo Feng himself continuously supplied energy to obstruct the Annihilation Wind.

Finally—

Luo Feng’s robe was permeated with holes, and the Annihilation Wind was finally exhausted.

“Hmm? My Annihilation Wind was stopped by just his robe?” The Heavenly Kun Monarch, with his first move, perceived that his opponent was not to be trifled with. “His physical body and robe are both forged by secret techniques. They are incredibly tough and filled with extremely rich vitality.”

The characteristic of practitioners of the Dao of Life Origin is that they are incredibly difficult to completely annihilate. Even when seemingly destroyed, they can regenerate from nothingness.

Even Di Chu, a lifeform at the Ultimate Realm of Destruction, believed it would take two to three moves to completely eradicate this clone of Luo Feng. This showed the remarkable tenacity of his life force.

“Luo He, I just blew a breath of wind, and your robe is already tattered,” the Heavenly Kun Monarch’s voice resounded across heaven and earth.

Luo Feng’s tattered robe naturally repaired itself, returning to its pristine state.

“The Heavenly Kun Monarch’s Annihilation Wind indeed possesses considerable power,” Luo Feng praised. “I wonder, do you have any more potent techniques? Let me try them out?”

“Then I shall satisfy you!” The Heavenly Kun Monarch’s blood-red eyes grew fiercer, and an incomparably dazzling golden light suddenly condensed on the forehead of its colossal head. The instant the golden light formed, it startled all the observers.

“Great Annihilation Golden Light!”

“The Heavenly Kun Monarch’s killing move!”

After all, the Heavenly Kun Monarch was a Divine King of the Second Layer with profound accumulations. His techniques were known to the outside world; ‘Annihilation Wind’ was merely a commonly used technique, while ‘Great Annihilation Golden Light’ was his true killing move, capable of posing a threat even to emperors and monarchs.

“The Heavenly Kun Monarch is going all out right from the start,” The Guest of Mount Seat remarked, feeling uneasy at the sight.

“This Great Annihilation Golden Light, condensed with the might of the Primordial Chaos Bloodline, is terrifyingly destructive to ‘matter’, enough to warrant serious attention from even emperor-level beings.” Yu Shui Monarch’s divine power avatar was also watching nervously.

This time, Luo He was acting on his behalf.

The Great Annihilation Golden Light was renowned.

The instant the golden light was unleashed from the Heavenly Kun Monarch’s forehead, Luo Feng was struck before he could even attempt to block it.

“Pffft.”

This golden light instantly struck Luo Feng’s chest.

“Boom—” Luo Feng felt his body rumble. The golden light instantly merged into his form, wildly and wantonly destroying everything! The fundamental structure of his ‘World Lifeform’ was constantly being annihilated.

While being annihilated, it was also struggling to recover.

But the destructive power was too terrifying, swiftly annihilating the vitality of the fundamental matter.

“Chizhi zhi!!!”

Luo Feng’s majestic silver-robed body, as tall as heaven and earth, developed countless golden patterns on its surface. These golden patterns were eroding and annihilating his body, yet Luo Feng’s body was also continuously regenerating.

“My Great Annihilation Golden Light, condensed from the Primordial Chaos Bloodline, clearly holds the advantage! But his body is like a world, containing too vast an amount of energy,” Heavenly Kun Monarch felt Luo He was difficult to deal with.

Divine Kings could easily stand as tall as heaven and earth.

Thus, it was difficult to clearly discern from the surface just how immense the energy reserves this clone of Luo Feng possessed.

Di Chu, as a lifeform that had reached the Ultimate Realm, had far more acute senses. Heavenly Kun Monarch’s perception was considerably inferior; only through direct engagement could he accurately assess.

“A single Great Annihilation Golden Light can only destroy about one percent of his body,” Heavenly Kun Monarch’s heart sank. “But if I exhaust myself, I can at most unleash ten Great Annihilation Golden Lights.”

Although he still had a few other killing moves, Heavenly Kun Monarch could tell that he couldn’t annihilate this body.

“Those who cultivate the Dao of Life Origin, despite their tenacious vitality, usually prioritize evasion in my presence, relying on clone techniques to save their lives. Few dare to directly resist,” Heavenly Kun Monarch mused. “But this Luo He dares to directly withstand my techniques.”

“I can sense that his physical body, besides containing numerous profound mysteries of the Dao of Life, also encompasses profound mysteries of the Dao of Material Origin, which is why it is so tough and difficult to obliterate.” Heavenly Kun Monarch himself cultivated the Dao of Material Origin, so he could naturally confirm this.

“Heavenly Kun Monarch, do you have any more powerful techniques?” Luo Feng’s majestic silver-robed body, still being eroded by countless golden patterns on its surface, calmly endured it, completely fearless.

“This Luo He is merely relying on his sufficiently massive lifeform to withstand the attacks,” Heavenly Kun Monarch thought. He also had experience dealing with such colossal lifeforms.

The larger a lifeform, the greater the burden on its soul, mind, and will.

It was already impressive if one could barely control it; executing delicate techniques would be impossible.

“Luo He.”

The Heavenly Kun Monarch looked at Luo Feng. “Is this clumsy body your sole reliance? I will now raze your Huyang City to the ground. Let’s see if you can stop me.”

Whoosh!

The Heavenly Kun Monarch moved, seemingly incredibly massive, yet astonishingly fast, traversing heaven and earth directly towards Huyang City.

He intended to leverage the subtlety of his techniques and make Luo Feng truly pay.

“Raze Huyang City?”

Luo Feng’s expression turned cold.

Whoosh.

With a single step, Luo Feng’s body merged with the world, instantly teleporting to appear directly in front of the Heavenly Kun Monarch.

“Open!” Luo Feng raised his right hand high. Although the golden light covering his entire body was still eroding him, Luo Feng continued to gather power in his right hand, and a terrifying life-and-death artistic conception converged in his palm.

His hand became a blade.

Swish!

Luo Feng slashed with his right hand. The immense power contained within his World Lifeform completely condensed into this blade light. The blade light was incredibly refined! Yet, it also held a strange essence of severing all vitality.

“This—” The Heavenly Kun Monarch had utterly not expected Luo He to be able to execute such a delicate technique while in such a colossal lifeform.

What he didn’t know was that by controlling a clone with only one-thousandth of his total energy reserves, Luo Feng could unleash his most exquisite techniques. If the clone controlled more energy, becoming larger, his techniques would inevitably become cruder.

If he were to use his World Lifeform’s true body, every movement would be incredibly cumbersome.

But the technique Luo Feng was currently employing was ‘Severing Vitality,’ one of his life-and-death fusion killing moves. The blade light traveled through darkness, seemingly not existing in reality, and in an instant, it had struck the Heavenly Kun Monarch’s body, silently slicing deep within him.

Luo Feng stood at a distance, the golden patterns on his body slowly fading as the Great Annihilation Golden Light gradually expended itself.

“Heavenly Kun Monarch, how do you find this move?” Luo Feng asked, looking at his opponent.
