Chapter 288: Rain Wave City Seven Hundred Records

Time flew by.A black flying vessel had begun its return journey, heading towards Rainwater City.

Inside the front cabin of the flying vessel, Di Qing piloted it, observing and sensing their surroundings. Luo Feng sat beside him, his Bionic Annihilation Eye open on his brow, surveying the vast area around them, feeling a touch of melancholy. "It's been over seven hundred epochs since I came to Rainwater City. This is also my third hunt with Di Qing, but my 'Path of Annihilation' still hasn't broken through to the early God-Emperor stage," Luo Feng sighed inwardly.

Seven hundred epochs was a long time. On the Origin Continent, it only took Luo Feng five hundred epochs to grow from an Eternal True God to someone capable of killing Di Yuan. "Paths like Life and Destruction, I reached the early God-Emperor stage with minimal cultivation, but merging the two... that's far too difficult," Luo Feng shook his head gently. He had used some auxiliary cultivation treasures, possessed the Annihilation Eye, studied vast amounts of low-level Chaotic Origin life materials, and even had the Immortal Heart, Annihilation Eye, and Star Tower to aid his cultivation, making progress at an astonishing pace. Yet, the Path of Annihilation was simply too vast.

"Brother Luo Feng, I thought that after breaking through to the mid God-Emperor stage during this third hunt, my strength would finally be comparable to yours." Di Qing, still quite agitated, lamented, "Who would have thought your strength had advanced another major step since our last hunt?"

"I merely created a physical body technique," Luo Feng replied. "Your physical body technique is truly terrifying," Di Qing exclaimed. "I just reached the mid God-Emperor stage, and working together, I never imagined we could actually kill a mid God-Emperor low-level Chaotic Origin being." Luo Feng smiled.

Indeed!During their third hunt, they had collectively killed seven early God-Emperor low-level Chaotic Origin beings and one mid God-Emperor low-level Chaotic Origin being. "You directly engaged that Blazing Beast in physical combat, holding an overwhelming advantage. I was merely supporting you, and you single-handedly slew that mid God-Emperor Blazing Beast," Di Qing vividly recalled the scene.

Luo Feng had unleashed a powerful physical body technique, his entire body clad in a layer of blood-red scales that possessed formidable defensive capabilities. The Blazing Beast's furious attacks merely caused minor cracks on Luo Feng's scales, which rapidly healed.However, with every one of Luo Feng's strikes, massive wounds appeared on the Blazing Beast's body. Furthermore, Luo Feng dragged it with one hand while relentlessly attacking with the other, accompanied by rolling waves of blood that engulfed the beast, preventing its escape. Di Qing merely provided supplementary attacks with his sword formation, adding the finishing touches and dealing a few heavy blows, allowing Luo Feng to utterly dispatch the Blazing Beast. "My physical body is merely comparable to that of a mid God-Emperor low-level Chaotic Origin being," Luo Feng said with a smile.

It was indeed just comparable. Luo Feng's offensive and defensive techniques were far more profound, and with the aid of two great secret treasures, he was able to completely suppress the Blazing Beast.

"Being almost on par with the physical body of a mid God-Emperor low-level Chaotic Origin being is already terrifying," Di Qing remarked. "Their natural advantage lies in their physical bodies, while ours is in our cultivation realm. For you to wield such a powerful physical body at your realm means you could hunt mid God-Emperor low-level Chaotic Origin beings even in a one-on-one fight."

"Typically, mid God-Emperor hunting teams consist of at least three members, or up to six or seven experienced mid God-Emperor Dao cultivators," Di Qing stated. "Your current strength is considered exceptionally powerful among mid God-Emperor practitioners!" Di Qing praised him, his emotions complex.

He had initially thought that since he had broken through to the mid God-Emperor stage, he would be entitled to a 50/50 split of the spoils this time. "By the way, let's split the spoils 30/70 this time," Di Qing suggested.

"Didn't we agree on 50/50?" Luo Feng looked at him.

They had agreed on that before setting out. At the time, Luo Feng had even borrowed some Chaotic Origin Crystals from Di Qing to purchase a secret treasure formation map, also intended to aid this physical body technique.

"I just didn't expect you could kill a mid God-Emperor low-level Chaotic Origin being all by yourself," Di Qing said. "I got a good deal on the last hunt; I can't this time. 30/70 is enough."

If it were 20/80, Di Qing's contribution wouldn't even be a fifth. With a 30/70 split, he would get three tenths, which Di Qing felt was sufficient. Luo Feng looked into Di Qing's eyes, understood his reasoning, and immediately nodded with a smile.

"Alright, 30/70 it is."

Having been in Rainwater City for over seven hundred epochs, although the Path of Annihilation still hadn't reached the early God-Emperor stage, Luo Feng's accumulation deepened during his cultivation. He also created some secret techniques combining creation and destruction, the strongest of which was a physical body secret technique known as the 'Immortal Blood Sea Body'. This technique was based on the blood-red scales of the Star Tower as a template, drawing upon the profound combat body mysteries within the Immortal Heart. This method represented Luo Feng's highest achievement in his cultivation path thus far, allowing his pure physical body to rival a mid God-Emperor low-level Chaotic Origin being.

"I only scratched the surface of the Star Tower's blood-red scales and the Immortal Heart's mysteries, yet I created such a technique," Luo Feng knew clearly. "Once my realm advances further, this physical body technique can be refined even more."

Previous physical body techniques relied on formless and shapeless transformations, whereas his current physical body relied entirely on his own comprehension. The Path of Life itself involved thorough research into this aspect, so Luo Feng's understanding progressed smoothly. Luo Feng's growth rate was indeed astonishing. As his teammate, Di Qing clearly perceived Luo Feng's rapid progress. "He's only been in Rainwater City for a mere seven hundred epochs. From initially being slightly weaker than me, he's now considered extremely powerful among mid God-Emperor Dao cultivators. If he advances further, won't he be a mid God-Emperor Dao cultivator himself?"

The ancestors of the two nations were only at this level of strength.

This was the talent of the tiny fraction at the very pinnacle of countless worlds, Di Qing sighed inwardly. On the Origin Continent, he was incredibly brilliant, but compared to the vast number of powerhouses from numerous Origin Worlds and billions of other worlds, he could only be considered one in ten thousand. Within a single reincarnation era in an Origin World, Di Qing had become a mid God-Emperor Dao cultivator, which was undeniably impressive. In Rainwater City, there were only tens of thousands of practitioners with such strength, including many old-timers who had cultivated for endless years.

"In the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, I am one in ten thousand, but this Luo Feng is at least one in a hundred million," Di Qing thought to himself. The black flying vessel continued its journey.

After Di Qing's Spatial Dao reached the mid God-Emperor stage, his ability to observe the void had also greatly improved.

"Hmm?" Di Qing carefully sensed his surroundings. The nearby land and sky seemed normal; clouds rolled in the distance, and dust swirled across the ground. "We've fallen into a formation!" Di Qing transmitted to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng's expression remained calm, but he became wary inwardly.

"I didn't detect any danger!" Luo Feng's Bionic Annihilation Eye was also observing. "It's a very powerful spatial technique; the transition into it was so natural that I only realized after we were already inside the formation. I'm turning back immediately to escape with all my might," Di Qing transmitted.

The enemy hadn't rushed to attack, patiently waiting for them to delve deeper into the formation.However, once they turned to flee, the enemy would likely attack immediately.

*Whoosh!* The black flying vessel suddenly turned around, streaking away at an incredibly high speed.

*Buzz!*A massive illusory formation diagram also appeared around the flying vessel, covering its surface with a layer of sword light. The sword light enveloped the vessel, accelerating its escape significantly.

"They found us?" "They're quite perceptive."

A vast painting emerged from the void, its scope incredibly broad. The black flying vessel Luo Feng and Di Qing piloted was merely a small black dot within this enormous painting.

"You entered my secret treasure and still think you can escape?" A cold chuckle echoed from various points in the void. *Rip!*

Suddenly, a pair of gigantic hands materialized above the black flying vessel. These massive hands erupted with the mysteries of life, forcefully tearing open a fissure within the vast painting. The black flying vessel immediately darted through the gap, escaping the painting.

"Hmm?" Five figures stood at different positions, watching the escaping black flying vessel. "Oh, it's a few friends from Ghost Workshop."

The black flying vessel vanished, and Luo Feng and Di Qing appeared, acting quite courteously.

Luo Feng also observed the five figures positioned in the distance. The first time one of the three major raiding forces attempted to steal his treasures was the Worm Nest. The previous raiding team he encountered was from Myriad Shadow Loft, and this time, it was Ghost Workshop. He had now dealt with all three major raiding forces.

"The leader of Ghost Workshop has very unique cultivation methods. He calls himself the Master of the Ghost Realm, and his methods are extremely ruthless, as are many of his subordinates," Luo Feng naturally knew some general information about Ghost Workshop.

"Di Qing, your sword formation, and those large hands that just escaped the secret treasure painting... it seems both of you have reached the mid God-Emperor stage," the five figures said, looking at Luo Feng and Di Qing. "Gentlemen, shall we proceed according to the rules?" Di Qing asked.

Their ability to escape the ambush was already proof of their strength. According to custom, paying a fee would be considered compensation for the raiding team's efforts.

"It won't be easy dealing with these two!" A tall figure transmitted, "Let's take a fee and let them go." "Di Qing and Luo Feng were both reported to be early God-Emperors. Even if they've broken through to the mid God-Emperor stage, it must have been recent, so their foundation won't be deep," a sinister-looking man with a blood-red vertical mark on his brow transmitted. "The five of us mid God-Emperors have worked together for a long time and are experienced. Combining our efforts against them... we have a very high chance of success."

"Both of them are from Origin Worlds. Even if we destroy them, they might still have avatars."

"They come from Origin Worlds. Sometimes they carry very special treasures. If we get our hands on one, we'll make a huge profit," the sinister man transmitted. Upon hearing this, the other four were tempted.

Yes.Compared to the cultivators from billions of worlds, powerhouses from Origin Worlds received far more resources. Items like remnants of special life forms, innate secret treasures, and even some treasures exchanged from the Infinite Space were coveted by cultivators from billions of worlds. Luo Feng and Di Qing became extremely wary.

"Rules?""Outside Rainwater City, there are no rules!" The sinister man sneered coldly. "Today, both of you shall die."

As his voice fell silent, black rain began to fall, covering the surrounding vast expanse. Within this immense area, the giant painting reappeared, once again enveloping Luo Feng and Di Qing.

"They want to kill us," Di Qing's expression changed drastically, and a hint of madness flickered in his eyes.Not all raiders adhered to rules. Once rules were abandoned, it became a naked struggle for survival, the law of the jungle.

"Di Qing, I'll handle four; you take one," Luo Feng said, his eyes glinting with cold killing intent.
