Chapter 330: City Lord Luo!

Thirty-four Luo Feng clones guarded every part of the core region of Rainlan City.

After destroying one Leader squad and suppressing the second Leader squad, the remaining three Leader squads felt nothing but terror in their hearts. Without any hesitation, they immediately began fleeing frantically.

“Why is Luo Feng so powerful?”

“Why does an entire Leader squad have no ability to resist him?”

These Leader squads simply could not accept it. The city had already been breached, and they were about to enjoy a grand feast—yet suddenly they encountered such a catastrophe.

“Help!”

“King, save us!”

The second Leader squad that had been suppressed cried out in panic for help, one Leader after another dying in succession. This only caused the fleeing Leaders to become even more terrified.

Across the entire Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, roughly half of the Leader-level powerhouses from the Bewitching Heart Worm Clan and the Soul-Devouring Snake Clan had come to Rainlan City. But now, they had arrived at the end of their lives.

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

The movement technique of the black-robed Luo Fengs continued to improve. At first, tearing open fissures in heaven and earth caused huge disturbances. Gradually, however, the disturbance became smaller and smaller. A faint fissure in heaven and earth would appear, Luo Feng would step out from it, and in an instant he would cross an enormous distance.

When Luo Feng transformed into a Blood Sea and trapped the third Leader squad, the remaining fleeing Leaders grew even more desperate.

“Scatter and escape!”

“Split up completely—hide through possession!”

The remaining Leaders rapidly dispersed, intending to possess cultivators.

“Scatter?”

Luo Feng had many clones surrounding and hunting them. Moreover, the clones that originally possessed “hundredfold energy reserves” split once again into two, forming clones with “fiftyfold energy reserves,” causing the number of clones to surge dramatically.

After all, since these Leaders had scattered, their individual resistance was far weaker than when they formed a full Leader squad.

At Luo Feng’s brow was the Simulated Eye of Life and Death, which completely locked onto the true bodies of every Leader.

Whoosh.

One Luo Feng after another stepped through fissures in heaven and earth. When he transformed into a streak of blood-colored light and passed by a Leader, that Leader died in a single encounter.

Acting alone, none of them could even withstand a single move from Luo Feng.

“Luo Feng!”

The King, disguised in the appearance of Hall Master Weiyang, was truly enraged. His figure turned illusory as he charged toward the nearest Luo Feng clone. Luo Feng stood high in the sky. Seeing this, he did not evade and merely watched the King’s assassination attack coldly.

“I never expected Rainlan City to have a powerhouse like you! Fortunately, Hall Master Yuanxiang never placed great importance on you. If he had, we might never have been able to breach Rainlan City.” The King’s voice entered Luo Feng’s mind.

Luo Feng looked at the King wearing the appearance of Hall Master Weiyang.

Placed importance on him?

He was already the City Lord of Rainlan City—he had only just broken through. Fortunately, he had achieved the breakthrough at a critical moment. If he had been even slightly slower… Rainlan City might already have been completely destroyed.

Boom.

The instant the King approached, its innate secret technique, “Heart Bewilderment,” was unleashed.

In a single moment, it completely enveloped Luo Feng’s mental consciousness.

This particular Luo Feng clone was an ordinary one. It did not possess the Heart of Immortality or the Palm World. In that instant, Luo Feng felt a massive flood of information pouring into his mind, completely attempting to distort his perception.

“Who am I?”

“I am a Bewitching Heart Worm? No… I am Luo Feng!” 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Luo Feng’s gaze remained clear.

When the Origin Path reaches the Ultimate Divine King stage, it already begins to resist will attacks. When it reaches the God Emperor level, the stronger the Path becomes, the greater the resistance against will attacks. This was also why weapon secret treasures refined by God Emperors could obstruct will attacks.

Luo Feng’s Late-Stage God Emperor Life-and-Death Path had already reached an extremely high level. With the obstruction of this Path, even the mental will attack of a Transcendent Limit Bewitching Heart Worm was weakened by seventy to eighty percent in an instant.

Furthermore, the Lieu Yuan Technique guarded his mind. In addition, the power of Rainlan City protected his body.

All willpower was suppressed. The mental bewilderment ability was drastically weakened. Luo Feng merely received the vast information transmitted by the innate Heart Bewilderment ability.

He himself remained completely clear-headed and could easily sift through the information, as though he had simply read a book.

“Suppress.”

While remaining conscious, this clone of Luo Feng transformed into a Blood Sea, deploying a formation to trap the Transcendent Limit Bewitching Heart Worm.

“My mental attack is completely useless against him? His realm truly is no weaker than mine!” The King immediately understood.

A God Emperor Perfection Low-Rank Primordial Lifeform was roughly equivalent to a Half-Primordial Realm Seeker.

One side possessed far more tenacious life vitality, while the other completely comprehended the essence of the Path. Without weapon secret treasures, their strength was roughly equal. But if combined with weapon secret treasures refined by existences who had escaped the prison cage of the world, Seekers naturally possessed greater combat power. Figures like Hall Master Weiyang and Hall Master Gaitao could kill a God Emperor Perfection Low-Rank Primordial Lifeform one-on-one.

A Transcendent Limit Low-Rank Primordial Lifeform was equivalent to a Seeker who had mastered two Half-Primordial level Paths.

“This Luo Feng’s realm is no weaker than ours!”

The King immediately sent a mental transmission to his four other Transcendent Limit companions.

“He has likely mastered two Half-Primordial level Paths!”

“Hmm?”

The four Transcendent Limit existences who had already entered Rainlan City and were rushing toward the core region were all shocked.

“We have five Transcendent Limits and more than two thousand God Emperor Perfection existences. If we surround him, we can completely destroy him,” the King transmitted.

One Transcendent Limit was equivalent to twenty or thirty God Emperor Perfection existences.

When more than two thousand God Emperor Perfection existences joined forces, their might would be capable of destroying heaven and earth.

“Fortunately we already breached the city. Otherwise we wouldn’t even be able to surround him,” the King transmitted.

“Ying, I will join forces with you to hold him back first!”

A blue-white figure flew at the fastest speed. Its body blurred as it approached. Among the four Transcendent Limits, it was the closest to the core region.

……

After its mental attack proved useless, the King’s enormous Bewitching Heart Worm body suddenly twisted violently, instantly tearing apart the Blood Sea formation of Luo Feng’s clone before swiftly escaping.

The Luo Feng clone watched this coldly.

“Without secret treasures, a single ordinary clone is still slightly weaker than a Transcendent Limit,” Luo Feng realized.

This was because his strongest secret techniques, the Immortal Blood Sea Body and the Simulated Eye of Life and Death, had not yet been fully perfected. Some ordinary secret techniques simply had no intimidation power against Transcendent Limit enemies.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

While Luo Feng was confronting the King, his other clones had already annihilated all the remaining Leaders. After killing them, Luo Feng once again returned to thirty-four clones.

Thirty-four clones continued guarding the core region.

……

“This… this… how is this possible?”

The Elders of Rainlan City could all control the formations they had engraved within the city. Through the formations, they could sense the entire city and naturally saw clearly what had just occurred in the core region.

Luo Feng—by his own power—had divided into thirty-four clones and completely annihilated all Leader-level infiltrators. Even the King, after clashing with one Luo Feng clone, could only retreat without success.

“By himself, he killed thirty God Emperor Perfection Low-Rank Primordial Lifeforms?”

“Even a Transcendent Limit Bewitching Heart Worm cannot do anything to a single one of his clones?”

“God Emperor Luo Feng…”

Anyone who was not blind could see that Luo Feng’s strength had already far surpassed the Hall Master level. He had reached a higher level.

“Luo Feng… has mastered two Half-Primordial level Paths?”

The Elders all came to this conclusion.

Even in the Dark Sacred Realm, existences who had mastered two Half-Primordial Paths stood among the peak ranks. As for even stronger invincible existences—they were legends even in the Dark Sacred Realm, rarely seen.

“So Luo Feng possesses such strength?” The Master of the Insect Nest felt his heart tremble slightly. “A Hall Master-level existence would probably die in one or two moves before him now.”

“I have grievances with him. Even if Rainlan City survives, there may no longer be any place for me here.”

The Master of the Insect Nest realized this.

In the cultivation world, strength was everything.

Even if Luo Feng were not the City Lord, with the power to destroy Hall Master-level existences with a wave of his hand, he would still become the uncrowned king of Rainlan City. If he wanted to expel the Insect Nest, they would have no way to remain.

“I will help defend the city first. After the defense ends, I will leave voluntarily. His hostility toward me should weaken then.”

The Master of the Insect Nest immediately made a decision.

The Master of the Ten Thousand Shadows Loft, the Master of the Trick Workshop, Heavenly Crane Elder, Yun Dan Tower Master Changqing, Elder Xingyi, and others were all deeply shocked, each forming their own thoughts.

An existence of this level would be the uncrowned king in any city within the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm.

Even in the Dark Sacred Realm, he would belong to the peak tier.

“There is hope.”

“Rainlan City can be saved.”

Many Elders grew excited. They had seen hope.

“Hall Master! Hall Master! God Emperor Luo Feng must engrave formations within the core layer of Rainlan City. With his strength and the assistance of Rainlan City’s formations, it is possible to completely repel the Low-Rank Primordial Lifeform Legion.”

“Yes, Hall Master, we must let God Emperor Luo Feng engrave the formations as soon as possible.” The Master of the Ten Thousand Shadows Loft also transmitted urgently. “The sooner the better. Only God Emperor Luo Feng can save Rainlan City.”

“Hall Master…” The Master of the Insect Nest and others also sent transmissions.

“Everyone, rest assured. I have already given the City Founder Seal to God Emperor Luo Feng. God Emperor Luo Feng is now the City Lord of Rainlan City,” Hall Master Yuanxiang transmitted. “Luo Feng, respond to everyone as well.”

“Everyone.”

As City Lord, Luo Feng immediately sent a transmission to every Elder.

“I have already refined the City Founder Seal. From this moment onward, I am the City Lord of Rainlan City.”

“City Lord.”

“City Lord Luo.”

“With City Lord Luo here, Rainlan City is saved.”

“Hundreds of millions of cultivators are saved.” The Elders were greatly invigorated.

Luo Feng transmitted again.

“Everyone, the Low-Rank Primordial Lifeform Legion will not sit still. They will certainly attack me at all costs. Therefore, I ask all Elders to rely on the Rainlan City formations to deal with the Low-Rank Primordial Lifeform Legion.”

“Yes.”

“We understand.”

“City Lord, rest assured.” The Elders had seen the hope of victory.

……

A vast Low-Rank Primordial Lifeform army surged toward the core region from all directions.

Through the Simulated Eye of Life and Death, Luo Feng carefully observed the approaching army. The most terrifying forces within it were five Transcendent Limit existences and more than 2,600 God Emperor Perfection beings.

“Kill Luo Feng.”

“Destroy every one of his clones.”

“Exhaust his energy, and he will no longer be able to save Rainlan City.”

At this moment, the five Transcendent Limits, more than 2,600 God Emperor Perfections, and tens of thousands of Late-Stage God Emperor Low-Rank Primordial Lifeforms were all completely frenzied.

Once they had invaded a city, it was the greatest opportunity in their entire lives to obtain freedom.

Kill. Kill. Kill.

Kill enough cultivators, and they could escape the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm—the great prison that confined them.

They had been trapped within the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, and the moment they desired most was the moment they would regain freedom.

Luo Feng was the hope for the hundreds of millions of cultivators in Rainlan City to survive.

But at the same time—

Luo Feng was also the greatest obstacle preventing the Low-Rank Primordial Lifeform army from gaining freedom.

Both sides were prepared to fight at all costs.
