Chapter 221: The Death of the King of the Food Country (Part 1)

"Teacher, the Food Nation currently has five God Kings," Luo Feng said, looking at Sitting Mountain Guest. "Do we only need to kill three?"

Sitting Mountain Guest nodded. "I only have a blood feud with the three earliest nation masters: Nation Master Tian Kun, Patriarch Wuxiang, and Blade Demon Ancestor. Killing those three will be enough for me!"

Luo Feng nodded.

The three earliest nation masters of the Food Nation had the deepest bond. When Nation Master Tian Kun was still at God King Level 1, they ventured together across the Origin Continent. All three of them were truly monstrous in their sins. The two later God Kings, however, had committed far fewer atrocities.

God King Skul Peak joined because he cultivated the path of life origin and excelled at doppelganger techniques, allowing him to handle many tasks. He was invited by Nation Master Tian Kun and served diligently, enduring hardships in exchange for resources.

God King Liuyu was quite similar to Sitting Mountain Guest. She was once the nation master of a small, peripheral country called 'Liuyu Nation.' As the Food Nation expanded its invasions and approached Liuyu Nation, the Liuyu Nation Master proactively surrendered before the Food Nation could even make a move, thus removing any reason for the Food Nation to attack. Among the five God Kings of the Food Nation, she was the least conspicuous and held the lowest status, but she at least managed to preserve her clan.

"Before we kill them, should we talk to them?" Luo Feng asked again.

"No need," Sitting Mountain Guest shook his head. "There's nothing to say to them! The more we talk, the more likely something unexpected will happen! I just want them completely dead!"

Luo Feng nodded, then stood up. "Then let's depart now."

"Make sure your preparations are thorough, and try your best to prevent the two great ancient nations from discovering your identity," Sitting Mountain Guest reminded him as he also rose.

"Don't worry."

Luo Feng's black robe spread across his body, a golden mask appeared on his face, and his hair grew significantly longer. His aura became dark and profound, yet it also carried immense terror! He was using 'Formless and Faceless' to imitate, as closely as possible, the giant eye from his dream memories.

Luo Feng had deeply researched that giant eye, even using it as a direction to create the 'Great Extinction Style.' Although the current imitation of its artistic conception was far inferior to the dream memory, it still instinctively instilled fear in Sitting Mountain Guest, who was standing nearby.

It was like a lower-level creature instinctively fearing a higher-dimensional life form.

"With me looking like this, few will be able to guess my identity, right?" Luo Feng chuckled.

"Your aura is even more terrifying than your true form," Sitting Mountain Guest couldn't help but say. "I've seen the monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Nation; they cultivate the Origin Bloodline, and their auras are extremely terrifying. But none seem to compare to yours."

Luo Feng chuckled. His true form's aura already rivaled emperors and monarchs, so imitating the 'giant eye's' artistic conception naturally made it even more terrifying.

"It's only natural for a being like this to effortlessly kill the three nation masters of the Food Nation," Luo Feng said. "Let's go."

Sitting Mountain Guest looked at his disciple and nodded slightly. His mood was turbulent at that moment. On one hand, he had waited too long for revenge; on the other, his disciple had already exceeded his imagination! It was important to remember that 'Earth' had its environment modified by Sitting Mountain Guest, who then nurtured Earth's humans. Luo Feng was, naturally, like a child he had raised, cultivating step by step to this point, guided by the Star Tower, the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Manual,' and the 'Dimensional Art.'

He had watched Luo Feng grow, but now, he found him somewhat unfathomable. Despite this, Sitting Mountain Guest felt a sense of gratification.

"Whoosh." Golden liquid flowed over Sitting Mountain Guest's body, and his aura mysteriously vanished completely. As the golden liquid swirled, Sitting Mountain Guest transformed into his appearance from the Primitive Universe Region.

"This is a golden-armored puppet I refined; it barely possesses God King strength," Sitting Mountain Guest explained. "My true body is hidden within the puppet, and the puppet displayed externally has no life aura whatsoever."

Luo Feng nodded. Generally, more powerful God Kings had means to conceal their auras, often hiding their identities when traveling to places like the Dream Domain. However, his teacher Sitting Mountain Guest's concealment method was quite unique! He walked outside in the form of a puppet, with his true body completely hidden.

"Teacher's artifact refining methods are indeed formidable. Then let's depart now." Luo Feng immediately took Sitting Mountain Guest and quietly left Huyang City, arriving at the Food Nation's royal capital in the blink of an eye.

Above the Food Nation's royal capital, Luo Feng and Sitting Mountain Guest looked down upon the vast city.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng wondered.

"What's wrong?" Sitting Mountain Guest asked, puzzled.

"Nation Master Tian Kun's true body is not in the royal capital," Luo Feng said, frowning.

Luo Feng had come with his World Life Body true form this time, also carrying the secret treasure 'Star Tower.' With his inner world fortified by the 'Lotus of Life,' his World Life Body true form was naturally incredibly powerful! It could reflect the outside world and even draw vast external areas into his inner world, imprisoning them there.

Through his inner world's external perception, Luo Feng could confirm that there were no sufficiently powerful beings in the entire royal capital, only a single clone of God King Skul. Moreover, the Star Tower also possessed the abilities to subdue enemies, suppress, and seal. Luo Feng used the Star Tower to sense his surroundings and likewise detected no powerful auras. For the current Luo Feng, ordinary God Kings no longer counted as powerful presences.

"Patriarch Wuxiang and Blade Demon Ancestor—my clones have already locked onto them both, and we can act at any time," Luo Feng said. "But Nation Master Tian Kun's location is currently uncertain."

"What should we do then? If he's entered some treasure land for cultivation, he might stay for a very long time," Sitting Mountain Guest remarked.

Luo Feng shook his head. "I've long had standing orders for intelligence on some of the top powerhouses in the Origin Continent, including Nation Master Tian Kun! According to the information provided by the Yanfeng Guild Hall, since Nation Master Tian Kun's true body was destroyed last time and he recovered using a resurrection vessel, he has been nurturing his Origin Bloodline. During this period of nurturing, he hasn't visited any treasure lands."

Sitting Mountain Guest nodded.

"As long as he hasn't gone to a treasure land, he'll eventually return. We'll just wait here in the royal capital," Luo Feng said.

"It can only be this way," Sitting Mountain Guest nodded.

In Yan Capital, Yanfeng Ancient Nation.

Emperor Yan sat there, savoring the delicacies before him, and praised, "Tian Kun, when it comes to cuisine, there are very few who can rival you on the Origin Continent. Your understanding of ingredients is unique; you can unearth the inherent wonderful flavors of the ingredients themselves."

"Only with the various top-tier ingredients provided by the Emperor can I create these dishes," Nation Master Tian Kun said, chuckling humbly from the side. "Moreover, these ingredients have also deepened my understanding of the Origin Bloodline and brought benefits to my cultivation. I must also thank the Emperor for giving me this opportunity."

Emperor Yan glanced at Nation Master Tian Kun. He liked Nation Master Tian Kun very much; he was very docile and tried every means to please him. Most crucially, the dishes Nation Master Tian Kun prepared perfectly suited Emperor Yan's palate.

Nation Master Tian Kun cultivated the 'Great Dao of Material Origin,' researching all kinds of matter between heaven and earth, even unearthing 'deliciousness' to an inconceivable degree. After cultivating the Origin Bloodline, he even experimented with using the flesh and blood of Origin Bloodline beings as ingredients, making his cuisine even more astounding.

The imperial family of the Yanfeng Ancient Nation was very fond of such luxurious pleasures. After all, the ultimate delicacies of the Origin Continent, in terms of culinary art alone, could be considered God King-level achievements. This also allowed Nation Master Tian Kun to befriend many imperial God Kings.

"You've also been preparing delicacies for me for an epoch now. Tell me, is there anything you need my help with?" Emperor Yan said, smiling at Tian Kun.

Tian Kun had a good habit: when serving Emperor Yan, he never proactively made demands. Instead, he diligently served until Emperor Yan himself eventually inquired, only then would Tian Kun speak.

"As the Emperor knows, the Food Nation is surrounded by troublesome powers," Nation Master Tian Kun said with a smile. "Nation Master Yushui of the Yu Nation and God King Luohe of Huyang City have formed an alliance again! So now, the Food Nation can only target the neighboring second-rate nation, 'Hanssen Nation.' Hanssen Nation's master is merely an ordinary God King Level 2, inferior to even me. However, Hanssen Nation has an extraordinary relationship with 'Tianmu Nation.'"

The Food Nation had already invaded and occupied all the easily conquered territories nearby. Only Yu Nation and Hanssen Nation remained as neighbors. Yu Nation seemed easy to bully, but then Luo Feng emerged! Now that Luo Feng had become a God King Level 2 again, the Food Nation had completely given up on that idea. Nation Master Tian Kun suspected that even if Luo Feng's ten clones teamed up, he probably wouldn't be able to contend with them.

"Hanssen Nation?" Emperor Yan nodded. "Alright, you go back and prepare. When everything is ready, I will send 'God King Yan Xiu' to accompany you on your trip. With God King Yan Xiu involved, I believe Tianmu Nation wouldn't dare to interfere."

As the first Emperor of the Yanfeng Ancient Nation, Emperor Yan's lineage had a relatively large number of powerful individuals. Besides Emperor Yan himself, there were two other imperial God Kings at Level 2: 'Emperor Yan Qiong' and 'Emperor Yan Xiu.'

Emperor Yan Qiong, being more ambitious, used his ultimate-realm Origin Bloodline to try and ascend to 'Emperor,' but his strength was slightly inferior, leaving him in a semi-controlled state. He was currently imprisoned in a small world and required array formations to remain conscious. According to the rules of the Yanfeng Ancient Nation, he would not be released unless he was absolutely clear-headed. If he had been born in the Thunder Ancient Nation, such a semi-controlled individual could be let out during their lucid periods and then confined again when they lost control.

With abundant resources provided, Emperor Yan Xiu was the strongest imperial God King under Emperor Yan.

"With God King Yan Xiu making an appearance, no matter how bold Tianmu Nation might be, they will have to endure it," Nation Master Tian Kun rejoiced.

Emperor Yan nodded slightly.

Nation Master Tian Kun left the Yanfeng Ancient Nation and returned to the Food Nation.

"It's already good enough to get God King Yan Xiu's help." Nation Master Tian Kun was very satisfied with this outcome. He had served Emperor Yan for too long and knew his temper very well! He was currently nurturing his internal Origin Bloodline, and if he were to ask for treasures to help nurture it, Emperor Yan might turn hostile. After all, Emperor Yan was also poor! Except for Emperor Qing, all twelve Emperors owed enormous debts to the imperial family! They even found ways to increase their debts to the limit allowed by the imperial family, borrowing all sorts of treasures and using them on themselves, which is why each of them possessed powerful secret treasures. As for repaying debts? They would just repay them slowly!

"If I can swallow Hanssen Nation, I can devour one-third of the living beings within it, and the remaining beings can slowly reproduce, providing continuous sustenance for my cultivation," Nation Master Tian Kun thought. "One-third of Hanssen Nation's living beings would be enough to restore most of my Origin Bloodline's strength."

A portion of the Origin Bloodline could be improved by devouring living beings. The countless living beings nurtured within the Source World were all convergences of heaven and earth essence, providing immense nourishment for the Origin Bloodline.

"Whoosh." Nation Master Tian Kun leisurely returned to the royal capital.

In an ordinary cave dwelling within the royal capital. Luo Feng and Sitting Mountain Guest sat opposite each other, leisurely discussing artifact refining techniques.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng's expression shifted.

Sitting Mountain Guest looked at Luo Feng.

"Nation Master Tian Kun is back," Luo Feng said.

Sitting Mountain Guest's eyes lit up.
