"Therefore, we have no choice but to send all ten clones at once."
"This is my last resort."
"Please—enjoy your taste!"
Ten Luo Fengs simultaneously raised their hands, and ten swords imbued with the "Severing Cause" sword intent slowly condensed. Wherever the swords pointed, the void froze, cause and effect became disordered, and endless killing intent completely locked onto the massive body of the Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord!
quiet!
Deathly silence!
Whether it was the two armies fighting on the border battlefield or the ancient wills peering from the distant void, at this moment, they were all plunged into unprecedented shock and silence!
The divine incarnation of the Lord of Yushui Kingdom covered his mouth, his eyes wide with disbelief.
The sigh of regret on King Bharadvaja's face froze instantly, replaced by an almost horrified astonishment. He subconsciously leaned forward, as if to get a closer look.
"Ten...ten?!"
The man sitting on the mountain was first stunned, then his eyes burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant light. He was so excited that his body trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up uncontrollably.
"Good! Good lad! So...so you had this backup plan!"
The Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord, who was the first to bear the brunt, felt it most intensely!
Its enormous, blood-red eyes were fixed on the ten identical figures in the sky above Huyang City, sensing the aura of those ten figures, which was no less powerful than the previous clones, and the undisguised, chilling killing intent...
A bone-chilling cold, an unprecedented sense of crisis, as if millions of years of mysterious ice had instantly frozen its core, making its massive body feel stiff and cold!
Its demonic flames, which had been boiling with anger and pain, seemed to have been extinguished by this chill.
Even a single clone was so troublesome that it forced it to use its ultimate move, and in the end, it even sacrificed itself to severely injure it!
And now... there are ten!
At this moment, for the first time, the pride and sense of superiority that the Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord felt as a veteran overlord cracked, and even a trace of... regret arose.
It seems that it has seriously underestimated the terrifying nature of this newly crowned God-King Luohe!
After this battle, Luo Feng's name is destined to shake the entire Origin Continent!
Chapter 368 Master and Disciple Meet
The void was deathly silent, except for the piercing sizzling sound of the dark green divine blood flowing from the hideous wound on the abdomen of the Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord as it dripped down, corroding the void.
The chilling killing intent and overwhelming aura emanating from those ten silver-clad figures were like ten invisible divine mountains, pressing down on the heart of the Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord and on the minds of all the spectators.
The Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord's enormous blood-red eyes flashed violently, a mixture of shock, anger, pain, disbelief, and a hint of barely concealed apprehension.
Its massive body trembled slightly from the trauma and extreme emotional fluctuations, and the originally raging demonic flames around it dimmed and shrank, as if intimidated by those ten gazes.
It had no doubt that if those ten strikes were unleashed simultaneously, even if it could withstand them, it would inevitably pay an unbearable price. Severe damage to its very essence would be the least of its worries; it might even shake the foundations of its existence for countless epochs!
In contrast, Luo Feng's ten clones were all at full power, indicating that the self-destruction of one clone hadn't been a fatal blow to his overall strength. This clone technique was utterly unheard of, incredibly bizarre and unpredictable!
On the other side, the ten Luo Fengs remained focused and calmly assessed the situation.
Although the 'Severing Cause' sword intent is strong, it consumes a great deal of energy, especially when it simultaneously targets a second-level God King overlord, which places an even more terrifying burden on his will and energy.
The previous strike had already injured the opponent's Dao Source. If ten strikes were unleashed simultaneously, it might severely injure them or even give them a chance... However, the opponent's counterattack before death would be absolutely terrifying, and I'm afraid I wouldn't fare well either.
Moreover, the Food Kingdom is not ruled by only Tiankun. In the distant, rolling demonic flames, several other equally terrifying auras are faintly visible, seemingly already watching this place and ready to intervene at any moment.
For a moment, the scene fell into an eerie stalemate.
Both sides possess the means to severely injure or even threaten the other's life, but neither is absolutely certain of defeating the other without taking any damage, and both are concerned about the possible disastrous consequences and the presence of third-party forces.
After a long while, the bleeding from the wound on the abdomen of the Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord gradually stopped. It barely suppressed its violent aura and broke the silence first. Its voice was hoarse and low, no longer as arrogant as before, but instead carrying a hint of solemnity.
"Luohe..."
Its enormous eyes swept over the ten Luo Fengs.
"I admit I underestimated you. Your methods are indeed beyond my imagination."
The leader of Luo Feng's clones remained calm and replied indifferently, "Your Majesty flatters me. It is merely a means of survival, a last resort."
The Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord spewed out two streams of demonic flames mixed with the stench of blood from his nostrils, and coldly snorted, "Hmph! No need for pretense! Even though I am injured, I am not without the power to fight back! If we really fight to the death, how many of your ten bodies will be left?"
"Your Majesty may give it a try."
Ten Luo Fengs spoke at the same time, their voices overlapping and merging, carrying a cold sense of oppression.
"Before I perish completely, may I drag the king down with me into oblivion? Or... may I leave you here on the border of Yu Kingdom forever?"
The resolute confidence in his words made the Heavenly Kun Kingdom's eyelids twitch. It had no doubt about the other party's determination; a guy who dared to self-destruct a powerful clone without hesitation was definitely a ruthless character.
It paused for a moment, its massive tail swaying unconsciously, stirring up ripples in the space, revealing its inner struggle. Continuing to fight was too risky, not worth the effort. Retreat? How could it, the mighty ruler of the Food Kingdom, a second-level God-King, be forced to retreat by a newly ascended God-King? What face would it have left?
Just as it was weighing the pros and cons, a gentle yet undeniably authoritative voice slowly drifted from the direction of the Yu Kingdom.
"King of Tiankun Kingdom, God King of Luohe."
The divine power avatar of the Lord of Yushui Kingdom manifested. His gaze swept over the two opposing sides in the arena, and his voice was calm: "Both of you are top overlords of the Origin Continent. Continuing to fight like this will not be pleasant regardless of the outcome. Why don't you stop here and retreat?"
Her words, seemingly meant to reconcile, actually highlighted the external circumstances and offered both sides a way out.
The Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord's blood-red eyes flickered.
The words of the Lord of Yushui reminded it that the Origin Continent was turbulent, and if it were seriously injured here, the Food Kingdom and other hostile forces would probably not let this opportunity pass.
Luo Feng nodded slightly and followed up, saying, "King Yu is right. King Tiankun and I do not necessarily have to fight to the death this time. Today's conflict is due to our different positions. If Your Majesty is willing to stop here, I, Luo Feng, am not a bloodthirsty person."
His words pointed out that the root of the conflict lay in national warfare, not personal grudges, temporarily setting aside personal grievances and reducing the necessity of continuing the deadly fight.
The Heavenly Kun Kingdom's massive head lowered slightly, as if making a final decision. The excruciating pain in its abdomen continued to remind it of its opponent's tenacity and ruthlessness.
Finally, it raised its head, its voice deep and thunderous: "Very well! Luo He, today, out of respect for the King of Yu and considering the difficulty of your cultivation, I will not hold it against you!"
His words still carried a hint of condescension, an attempt to save face, but everyone could hear the compromise in them.
"In that case,"
The leader, Luo Feng's clone, sheathed his Will Blade, and the other nine clones also sheathed their blades at the same time. Their movements were so synchronized that the oppressive feeling they brought suddenly lessened.
"Then please, Your Majesty, order the withdrawal of your troops."
The Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord gave the ten Luo Fengs a deep look, as if trying to memorize their appearance completely.
It let out a deep, drawn-out roar that pierced through the endless void and echoed throughout the entire border battlefield: "Soldiers of the Food Kingdom, heed my command! Retreat!"
Upon receiving the order, the Food Kingdom's army, which had been halted due to the God-King's duel, was granted a pardon and immediately retreated like a tide. Although their formation remained largely intact, their panic and urgency were obvious.
The Yu Kingdom side erupted in thunderous cheers, their morale soaring to its peak!
The Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord looked away without further ado. His enormous body slowly turned, tearing through the void as he prepared to depart.
"My lord, please wait."
Luo Feng suddenly spoke.
The King of Tiankun Kingdom paused, then turned around abruptly, his eyes wary and dangerous: "What? Luo He, are you going to back out?"
Demonic flames surged around him once more.
Luo Feng smiled slightly and shook his head: "Not so. I just wanted to remind the king that today's matter should be put aside for now. But the karma between me and the Shi Kingdom has not yet been settled. If we meet again on the battlefield in the future, the blade in my hand will show no mercy."
His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness, clearly indicating that this was merely a ceasefire, not an end.
The Heavenly Kun Kingdom's pupils contracted slightly. He stared intently at Luo Feng for a moment before coldly saying, "Hmph! I'm ready to serve you anytime!"
Having said that, it lingered, its enormous body disappearing completely into the void rift.
The terrifying pressure that permeated the border gradually dissipated.
As the Lord of Tiankun Kingdom departed, the ten Luo Feng clones exchanged glances, transformed into ten streams of light, flew back to Huyang City, and merged into the body of the original body who was sitting cross-legged in the city.
On the city wall, Luo Feng, the true form of the silver-robed figure, slowly opened his eyes. His aura was slightly weakened, but his gaze remained bright and sharp.
In the void, the probing wills, carrying various complex emotions, quietly retreated.
The process and outcome of today's battle are destined to spread throughout the entire Origin Continent at an astonishing speed, triggering a massive upheaval.
The guest sitting on the mountain breathed a long sigh of relief, a smile of immense satisfaction spreading across his face.
The divine incarnation of the Yu Shui Kingdom ruler also came to Luo Feng's side and bowed solemnly: "Thank you for your help, God King Luo He. The Yu Kingdom will never forget this kindness."
Luo Feng returned the greeting: "Your Majesty is too kind. We are simply taking what we need."
He gazed intently towards the Food Kingdom, his eyes deep and unfathomable. Forcing Tiankun to retreat today was merely the beginning. The deep-seated blood feud between him and the Food Kingdom would one day be settled completely!
But at least for now, a potentially far-reaching and extremely brutal battle for supremacy has been temporarily averted.
Both sides are aware of how difficult and formidable the other is, and will likely exercise restraint until they have absolute certainty.
Luo Feng was confident that as long as he broke through again and reached the second level of the God King realm, he could easily kill the ruler of the Food Kingdom.
In the realm of stars, on the star-gazing platform.
The stars, which had been sitting quietly as if they had merged with the stars beneath their feet, slowly withdrew their deep gaze that had been directed toward the border of the Yu Kingdom.
The seemingly timeless tranquility around him rippled slightly, and a satisfied smile crept onto his lips.
The breathtaking clash between the two overlords just now, from Luo Feng's explosive aura announcing his attainment of God King status, to his verbal exchange and sword clash with the Lord of Tiankun Kingdom, to his self-destruction after being swallowed into the world's stomach and his reappearance in his true form to force back his powerful enemy... every scene was clearly imprinted in his mind.
"good very good!"
Xingchen murmured to himself, his voice filled with admiration and pride.
"Composed in the face of danger, decisive and ruthless, able to assess the situation and act with reason... Not only is his strength far superior to those of his peers, but his temperament and decisiveness are also rare."
He saw Luo Feng's strange and powerful sword technique that directly cuts through the source of the Dao, and he saw that inexhaustible, seemingly immortal divine body that could simultaneously control ten powerful clones.
100,000 times the gene.
Each one is so extraordinary that it would shock any veteran god-king.
"The cause of death... the life world body... and that clone technique..."
Xingchen's eyes gleamed with the light of deduction; with his supreme level of insight, he could naturally discern some clues.
"It seems that the opportunities my disciple has gained over the years on the Origin Continent are even more astonishing than I imagined."
He didn't delve into it; every strong person has their own secrets.
All he needed to know was that Luo Feng had truly grown up and possessed the capital to dominate the vast stage of the Origin Continent, and had even begun to show his talent and become famous overnight!
