Chapter 185: The Cost

"Luo Feng can control ten powerful avatars?" The Lord of Yu Shui Kingdom wasn't surprised to see other avatars, as the outside world had known about Luo Feng's avatar technique since his time in the Chaos Realm.

However, in the recent battle, everyone could witness the might of Luo Feng's single avatar. Luo Feng, a first-stage God King, was able to fight above his rank precisely due to the formidable strength of his physical body.

With such a powerful body, it's already difficult to control just one! Typically, one can only employ crude techniques. Yet, Luo Feng plans to control ten?

"Could Luo Feng's strength truly be nearing mine?" The Lord of Yu Shui Kingdom found it hard to believe.

"Luo Feng is only at the first stage of the God King realm!" Sitting Mountain Guest watched the scene in astonishment. "Can he truly rival a second-stage God King with such profound accumulation?"

"Controlling ten avatars simultaneously is far more difficult than controlling a single one."

Various forces across the Origin Continent were observing.

Strength is proven in battle!

Not through empty boasts or intimidation!

"Hmph."

In the sky, the immensely massive Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom gazed at Luo Feng from afar, saying coldly, "I'd like to see how much strength you can unleash by controlling ten avatars simultaneously."

"Come," said the ten silver-robed Luo Fengs, each as tall as the sky and earth, standing before Huyang City.

"Is that City Lord Luo?"

The guards at Huyang City's gates and countless citizens within the city looked up at the ten identical silver-robed figures, each as tall as the sky and earth, feeling utterly awestruck. They thought that such terrifying beings could probably annihilate billions of lives with a single breath.

"Master's strength is already greater than mine," Mosharsar's avatar mused, watching from the City Lord's manor pavilion. "I was born from the essence of destruction and am even a perfect lifeform, so why am I being suppressed by Master at the same level?"

Mosharsar's techniques were all bestowed by the Great Way of Destructive Origin, and his methods were similarly confined to it.

Luo Feng himself cultivated three paths: life, destruction, and their fused 'life-death' path. Furthermore, the 'Transformation Method' allowed him to grasp some techniques of the Material Origin Great Way. He also exchanged for multiple special-grade inheritances in the Treasure Land of Infinite Space, from which he could draw on the wisdom of his predecessors.

This is the advantage of cultivators: while their lower limit might be very low, their upper limit is infinitely high!

"I hope Master brings back better food so I can quickly reach the second stage of the God King realm," Mosharsar thought. His advantage was that he could advance directly to the ultimate stage of the God King realm, but his weakness lay in self-cultivation.

After all, he had been 'lying down' his entire life! Forcibly demanding self-cultivation from him would be asking too much.

This was also why the two ancient kingdoms highly valued the Lord of Myriad Worlds but disregarded the 'World Beasts' of the Skywood Kingdom. The Lord of Myriad Worlds had personally comprehended a complete Great Way of Origin and could potentially advance further, even surpassing the ultimate stage of the God King realm. As for World Beasts, the possibility of them surpassing the ultimate stage of the God King realm was negligible.

All parties continued to observe the battle.

The ten silver-robed Luo Fengs stared at the Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom, their fighting spirit soaring. He wasn't lying; this truly represented his strongest power.

Without using any weapons, his strongest power manifested in two forms.

The first was controlling his complete World Lifeform true body. This form possessed immensely vast energy reserves, terrifying recovery abilities, and immense power with every move, radiating frightful might. However, its techniques were clumsy and easily exploited.

The second was simultaneously controlling ten avatars! Each avatar could unleash seventy percent of his strength and employ relatively common God King-level techniques, coordinated through formations. This achieved a perfect balance of power and intricate techniques, making it more suitable for various predicaments.

Naturally, when controlling his World Lifeform true body, with its vast energy, it was more suitable for using weapons. If he used the Bloodshadow Blade, his power could increase significantly, and if he used the Star Tower, his strength would improve even more dramatically.

Luo Feng's true body had been cultivating within the Star Tower and continuously researching and pondering it. He felt that its abilities, such as suppression, sealing, heaviness, and sturdiness, seemed to have no upper limit; the stronger Luo Feng himself became, the more powerful the Star Tower could be wielded. Luo Feng didn't even understand why the Star Tower was so powerful; it was beyond what a God King weapon could explain. At his current first stage of the God King realm, Luo Feng dared not use the Star Tower in the slightest.

"Boom!"

The ten silver-robed Luo Fengs moved simultaneously. In an instant, they merged with heaven and earth, appearing around the Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom as if teleporting.

"He can use such escape techniques while controlling ten massive avatars?" The Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom's heart sank. His blood-red eyes grew more frenzied, and his massive maw, which took up a third of his body, opened once more.

"Roar!!!"

This roar was like the heavens and earth erupting in fury, a world-destroying bellow.

Within the roar's range, great mountains crumbled into dust, and the earth shattered, revealing vast abysses. The roar impacted the ten silver-robed Luo Fengs in the distance, tearing Luo Feng's robes, but his expression remained calm; he even turned his head to look into the distance.

Beyond the wilderness, life was sparse and scattered.

However, the Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom's roar covered too vast an area, still reaching a distant tribe of over a thousand beings. This tribe watched the distance in terror, seeing the 'black ripples' formed by the roar. The black ripples swept towards them like a cosmic tide, carrying an endless destructive intent.

"Father."

Children cried in terror, and True Gods watched the scene in despair.

Under Luo Feng's gaze, his World Power enveloped the entire tribe. He completely transferred all the tribal structures at once to a wilderness area closer to Huyang City.

"He's fighting me and still getting distracted," the Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom exclaimed, both shocked and enraged. After the sound waves from his furious roar swept across the area, they returned to continue propagating within the combat zone.

The Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom flapped his wings and pounced towards one of Luo Feng's avatars.

The ten Luo Feng avatars actively surrounded him from all sides.

"Bang!"

In a single clash, one of Luo Feng's avatars staggered back a few steps. The other nine, however, had already encircled and attacked.

"Swish!"

Heaven and earth seemed to split in two! Even with Luo Feng prepared, one of his avatars was split into two. However, another avatar, despite being heavily wounded, forcefully clung to the tail. The avatar that had been split instantly healed, restoring itself to its original state.

"Die."

One avatar firmly held onto the tail, while the other avatars relentlessly charged.

"Roar, roar, roar!!!" The Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom roared in fury, generating waves of sound. The previously roared sound waves had returned, and now new waves continuously superimposed, forming a vast sonic domain.

Each of Luo Feng's avatars moved with ghostly agility, as if walking through shadows. They were also incredibly brave, enduring the sonic impacts head-on.

"Die," the Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom roared. He suddenly flapped his wings, and hundreds of extremely sharp golden swords flew out from deep within them, forcefully piercing through many of Luo Feng's avatars, creating numerous holes.

However, for Luo Feng's body, which was as tall as heaven and earth, these holes were too small to be worth mentioning and healed instantly.

"Cycle of Life and Death!"

One of Luo Feng's avatars desperately clung to the Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom's tail, refusing to let go no matter how much it was attacked. This restricted the most damaging killing move, the 'Tail of Severed Heaven'. The other nine avatars unleashed the 'Cycle of Life and Death' formation, frantically besieging the Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom.

The Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom, with his colossal body and Luo Feng dragging on his tail, still exerted boundless might.

Roars reverberated, and the sonic domain continuously encroached.

Hundreds of swords attacked, repeatedly inflicting heavy wounds on Luo Feng.

Wings with a span of three hundred million kilometers flapped wildly, destroying heaven and earth.

Occasionally, 'Great Extinction Golden Light' would assault from the top of his head.

Yet, even with his ten avatars heavily wounded, Luo Feng continued to attack fiercely, enduring the injuries. Luo Feng's body was so powerful that even by using some God King-level techniques, his multiple avatars, working together, tore off chunks of flesh from the Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom.

Scales flew everywhere, blood splattered, and numerous wounds appeared. The Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom's wounds were also healing.

"His ten avatars, each one so troublesome?" The Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom also felt discomfort. He felt that each of Luo Feng's avatars possessed absolute overlord-level strength, or even the type of overlord that was extremely difficult to deal with.

This scene silenced all observers.

The Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom and the ten Luo Feng avatars were both severely wounded and fought each other fiercely. But they clearly knew that this was only possible because both sides possessed incredibly powerful physical bodies.

"The Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom's physical body is famously powerful. Luo Feng is actually fighting him head-on, showing no fear at all?"

"Can a first-stage God King truly be this strong?"

In the combat zone, a sonic domain enveloped the area, World Power spread, and the aftermath of the battle caused widespread destruction.

Whoosh!

In the dimness.

The Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom suddenly retreated. With a flap of his massive wings, he instantly vanished from his spot, pulling the Luo Feng avatar that had clung to him far into the distance, away from Luo Feng's other nine avatars.

"Stop," the Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom said in a low voice.

Luo Feng's avatar also released the massive scaled tail it had been tightly clinging to. While this tail was terrifyingly powerful, once held, its threat significantly decreased.

Whoosh!

Luo Feng's other avatars also instantly teleported nearby, still encircling the Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom. All injuries on the ten Luo Fengs vanished, and their robes were restored to new.

The Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom's numerous wounds were also healing, and his scales had fully grown back. Neither side seemed to show any signs of injury.

"You say stop, and we stop?" the ten Luo Fengs asked, looking at him.

The Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom looked at the ten Luo Fengs surrounding him and said, "I admit you have the power to intervene in this matter. Let the two kingdoms cease hostilities here."

"You want to start a war, and you want to stop a war, just like that?" Luo Feng looked at him. "Before, you wanted to flatten my Huyang City. Now you want to act as if nothing happened?"

The Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom looked around. "What do you want?"

"Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom, you yourself said that some things, once done, require a price to be paid." The ten Luo Fengs stood there, but the range of their World Power rapidly expanded, spreading significantly from Huyang City's center towards the territory of the Food Kingdom.

It completely enveloped ten surrounding Chaos States!

Luo Feng's World Lifeform true body could inherently cover sixteen Chaos States with its World Power. Twelve Chaos States of the Food Kingdom were also covered to varying degrees; some were fully enveloped, while others had only a third of their area covered.

Luo Feng chose the ten nearest territories.

"The Lord of Yu Shui Kingdom gave me ten territories, so I will also take ten territories from the Food Kingdom," the ten Luo Fengs said, looking at the Lord of the Sky Roc Kingdom. "Consider this the price for your Food Kingdom! If you agree, hostilities will cease. If you do not agree… then the war will continue, and I will claim territories using my own abilities."
