Chapter 64: Lie Yuan Technique

A thunderous roar echoed as the Blood Cloud God King felt an immense world pressing down upon him. The surrounding earth and rock were instantly crushed and obliterated, with boundless destructive force engulfing everything in its path. The indiscriminate coverage was immense!

Though he unleashed his Earth Escape to its fullest, his speed was notably slower than usual under the pervasive Chaos Domain. The entire Blood Cloud Formation, which had instantly burrowed hundreds of kilometers deep, was still completely enveloped by an impossibly colossal foot. The formation disintegrated in an instant, as if violently trampled, sinking thousands of billions of kilometers deep. Under such a fierce stomp, even the blood mist was utterly annihilated.

“Boom! Boom!”

Deep beneath Luo Feng’s foot, a wisp of blood materialized from nothingness, gathering to form a blood mist body.

“He’s still alive?” The majestic Luo Feng looked down at the 100-billion-kilometer footprint he had created. Luo Feng was genuinely surprised that the Blood Cloud God King could still be alive.

“One stomp destroyed over eighty percent of my divine body. How is this possible?” The Blood Cloud God King was truly terrified. He did not want to die. He could sacrifice anything for his cultivation, but if his very existence was gone, what would the countless eons of his efforts amount to? He cherished himself greatly, believing his life to be the most precious, for only by living could he reach the true pinnacle.

Barely condensing his divine body, the Blood Cloud God King swiftly employed Earth Escape to flee.

Luo Feng’s body instantly shrank to twenty billion kilometers in height. He then used the Myriad Worlds Escape Token to traverse space. ‘Void Escape’ was far superior to Earth Escape; water, mountains, and even cities, all being part of the void, could be traversed. However, the earth was dense, so even with the Myriad Worlds Escape Token, the distance he could travel was relatively short. The moment Luo Feng teleported hundreds of billions of kilometers deep underground, he felt himself pushing aside countless layers of earth and rock. These heavy masses of earth and rock also exerted immense pressure, which was why Luo Feng had reduced his size. A full stomp from him had only reached a depth of a thousand billion kilometers, and he had already estimated the intense pressure the earth and rock would exert on him. Fortunately, the actual impact of the crushing force within the earth was relatively minor.

“Morosa, be ready to attack,” Luo Feng mentally instructed. He naturally carried the chaotic airflow, continuously teleporting deeper underground, pursuing the heavily injured Blood Cloud God King.

“So fast!” The Blood Cloud God King detected Luo Feng’s pursuit. “The Chaos Domain combined with spatial travel is indeed well-suited for pursuit! But deep underground, everything is incredibly dense earth and rock!”

A colossal palm, wielding world-destroying power, tore through countless layers of earth and rock, and likewise tore through the Blood Cloud God King’s location. The Blood Cloud God King saw a massive palm instantly crushing down on him, terrifying him so much that his body voluntarily dispersed.

At this moment, Luo Feng stood twenty billion kilometers tall, but his hands had become enormous, each palm ten billion kilometers long. Wielding these shield-like hands, each strike was a 'Five Directions Sky-Splitting Blade,' fueled by maximum divine power combustion. Luo Feng pursued, his palms ceaselessly striking. His five fingers, like five sharp blades, left behind black spatial fissures wherever they passed, destroying everything in their wake, including the Blood Cloud God King. No matter how his divine body morphed or how skilled he was at escaping, he could only endure the terrifying attacks under Luo Feng’s wide-area assaults.

“This Blood Cloud God King seems to possess an extraordinarily strong life force. He was clearly greatly weakened, utterly annihilated into nothingness by one of my palm strikes, yet he can reform from nothingness.”

“Indeed, as I expected, he is unusually proficient at self-preservation!” Luo Feng was very patient. After his divine body significantly shrank, even when burning divine power at its maximum, the consumption was greatly reduced. Now, a mere fraction of the consumption could equate to the power of that one stomp from his immense size. The earth reformed, seemingly annihilated into nothingness, yet some blood mist condensed, forming the Blood Cloud God King’s figure.

“While I am within the earth, I can continuously draw power! But his speed of destroying my power exceeds my recovery!” The Blood Cloud God King had never imagined he would be forced to such an extent. He had once believed that, without the Huyang City grand formation, no Eternal True God from Yu Nation could truly kill him in a one-on-one battle. Yet, before that infinitely majestic divine body and that terrifying, pervasive attack, the Blood Cloud God King felt utterly powerless.

“So, being able to freely control the size of an infinite divine body, and maximizing advantages like divine power reserves, can be this terrifying! I must find a way to escape. If I continue like this, I fear I will be completely annihilated!” Even at this critical moment, the Blood Cloud God King remained remarkably calm, searching for an opportunity.

Luo Feng pursued while the Blood Cloud God King fled, continuously descending deeper underground. As the depth increased, the oppressive force from the earth became more terrifying. Luo Feng was even forced to further reduce his size, his hands shrinking considerably.

“Now!” A dazzling blood-red light suddenly erupted! At this moment, the Blood Cloud God King frantically burned his divine power. His seemingly ethereal blood mist body transformed into a brilliant blood-red light, which burrowed through the earth at a speed far exceeding his previous attempts.

During Luo Feng’s pursuit, the Shi Wu Wings were kept fully extended, and the Chaos Domain spread throughout the vast area, with chaotic airflow permeating everywhere.

“Now!” Luo Feng sensed the last remnants of Blood Cloud’s divine power burning wildly; he was clearly fighting for his life. Immediately, he mentally communicated with Morosa. That wisp of Morosa’s chaotic airflow had already been moved by Luo Feng to a deep location directly beneath the Blood Cloud God King.

Suddenly, an incredibly vast, blood-red maw appeared before him. This maw was immense, like a bottomless dark abyss! An endlessly terrifying suction force enveloped the Blood Cloud God King, who was fleeing downwards.

“Not good.” The Blood Cloud God King shuddered, more startled than when he had first seen Luo Feng’s majestic form. How could such a giant blood-red maw appear so deep underground? Enveloped by the suction, the Blood Cloud God King realized he could not resist.

“Die!” Morosa manifested his majestic form deep underground, his head particularly enormous, and his blood-red maw actively lunged at this prey. It was already in his mouth. Their blood-red maw suddenly snapped shut. As it closed, the Blood Cloud God King felt his surroundings turn into a dark-red world. Death had enveloped him!

No!!!

Death had never felt so near. The Blood Cloud God King felt as if he had gone mad! Eons of dormancy, cultivating to his current level at all costs—he was unwilling to die. He wanted to live, to survive!

The dazzling blood mist, already moving at extreme speed, suddenly etherealized and vanished, disappearing from Morosa’s mouth out of thin air. It reappeared behind Morosa’s maw, continuing to bore deeper underground!

“What?” Morosa was stunned! Something he had swallowed could just disappear?

That wisp of blood-red light—the Blood Cloud God King—who had escaped, was now utterly ecstatic.

“Hahahahaha, I knew it, I knew it! I lacked sufficient tempering. A true struggle on the edge of life and death finally allowed me to take the last step. My bloodline has finally evolved!” Bloodline evolution! “I have mastered the complete Chaos Law.”

The Blood Cloud God King was incredibly excited. In that moment, it was precisely by relying on his evolved bloodline talent, ‘Chaos Traverse,’ that Morosa’s maw could not trap him!

“I’ll spare Luo Feng for now. I need time for my mini-universe to evolve. I need even more time for my divine body to evolve. Once my strength is fully consolidated, I’ll come back and kill him!” This was a matter of life and death; he certainly couldn't be accused of bullying the weak. The Blood Cloud God King felt an immense sense of elation!

‘Bloodline evolution’ in the path of bloodline cultivation was merely the beginning of entering the Chaos Realm. Just as in the law path, after comprehending the Chaos Law, one also needed their mini-universe to expand, their divine power to transform, and to refine a more powerful Chaos Realm level divine body. Even afterward, one would need to cultivate corresponding secret techniques. It took a significant amount of time for one’s strength to truly solidify. Currently, the Blood Cloud God King’s divine power was still very weak. He had only just mastered the Chaos Law; it was over after a few quick moves.

“Luo Feng, I even have you to thank for giving me enough pressure!” During his escape, the Blood Cloud God King felt an unprecedented joy! His pursuit of countless eons had finally been realized!

“Hm?” The Blood Cloud God King suddenly saw a pair of eyes—Luo Feng’s eyes! At that moment, everything vanished. The Blood Cloud God King couldn't even sense his own power, couldn't sense his bloodline. In his sensory world, there was only this pair of terrifying eyes. These eyes were incredibly heavy, like infinitely majestic stars pressing down, instantly crushing the Blood Cloud God King! The immense disparity meant there wasn't even a shred of resistance possible! It was a clash of wills.

Luo Feng’s will had reached the peak of a Chaos Master, further enhanced by the ‘Ancient Yuan Art,’ unique to the entire Origin Continent. The Blood Cloud God King’s will, by contrast, had only barely reached the Chaos Master level. He was instantly annihilated, leaving no trace!

That wisp of blood-red light, which had been fleeing, naturally transformed back into its true form. A true body corpse lay deep underground. The True God Heart seemed intact, but consciousness was gone forever.

“To think he actually forced me to use the ‘Ancient Yuan Art’!” Luo Feng’s divine body returned to its normal size and appeared beside the corpse. The origin of the ‘Ancient Yuan Art’ was too immense, unique to the Origin Continent. Although bystanders would find it hard to recognize, Luo Feng still preferred not to use it lightly. He was still too weak; if some ancient being discerned its true nature, he would be in great trouble! Moreover, constantly relying on will-based secret techniques could also affect his cultivation path! To reach higher levels, life relied on laws; that was fundamental.

“He actually escaped from my mouth just now!” Morosa also appeared, looking at the Blood Cloud God King’s corpse and couldn’t help but drool. “Master, I feel he’s incredibly attractive to me, even more than Yu Tianxu’s corpse.” Morosa didn’t know that the Blood Cloud God King’s bloodline had evolved at the very last moment. The significance of this corpse to him was naturally different!

“Don’t worry... this corpse will be yours!” Luo Feng reached out, pierced the corpse’s chest, and retrieved the True God Heart. “However, I need to claim the bounty with the corpse first.” If both the body and the True God Heart were perfectly intact, it would raise questions at the Flame Wind Guild. So, he extracted the True God Heart to prevent any unforeseen issues. Anyway, the various factions in Huyang City were already accustomed to him capturing True God Hearts.

After putting away the corpse, Luo Feng took Morosa and traversed space, returning to the surface.

A rumbling sound. Luo Feng used his Chaos Domain to obliterate the colossal footprint he had made. He then looked up at the night sky, where stars glittered brightly.

“The Blood Cloud God King is dead. A star in the night sky must have dimmed, but it’s impossible to tell,” Luo Feng remarked.

“Countless stars flash and dim. Innumerable ones dim; unless it’s one of the brightest, who would care about an ordinary star dimming?” Morosa said indifferently. “We are still too weak!” His failure this time made Morosa feel his own inadequacy.

Luo Feng looked at the Causality Tracking Token in his palm, relieved that he hadn't let Brother Entropy’s efforts go to waste. He then put it away.

“Let’s go.”

Back to Huyang City! Luo Feng immediately took Morosa and piloted their spaceship, traversing space directly towards Huyang City.
