This initial probing wasn't just astonishing to the Frenzy Demon; even the Myriad Demons found it incredible. None of them had anticipated that the cultivation of this unremarkable-looking youth would be so profound.
"Boss, what happened?" the Scholar Demon, who resembled a scholar, helped the Frenzy Demon up and asked urgently. The Frenzy Demon violently shook off the Scholar Demon’s hand, a fierce glint flashing across his face, before roaring loudly, "I admit your strength, we're leaving!" The remaining few recognized that the Frenzy Demon couldn't save face, so they tactfully followed behind him and moved forward.
Only the Myriad Demon wore a look of schadenfreude, but beneath that expression lay deep shock; he hadn't expected a random person they encountered to possess such formidable cultivation. "Boss…" the Scholar Demon called out softly, catching up to the Frenzy Demon.
"Don't say another word. We're going now to find the Death Demon God Spirit.
After killing him, the first person we need to kill isn't the Frenzy Demon, but this kid. Otherwise, I worry he might turn on us!" the Frenzy Demon whispered quietly.
"Turn on us? Do you mean he alone can defeat the four of us?" the Scholar Demon asked with some disbelief.
"Defeat four? Hmph, you must be joking…" the Frenzy Demon scoffed.
"I knew it. How could one kid… possess such cultivation, enough to beat the four of us…" the Scholar Demon quickly chimed in.
He hadn't finished his sentence before the Frenzy Demon continued, "…If he truly wanted to kill us, even four more wouldn't be enough!" Scholar Demon: "…" Naturally, all their conversation drifted into Chen Feng's ears. It was far too simple for a God-level expert to deal with a mere Saint Domain expert who wasn't prepared.
However, hearing it didn't particularly bother him; he merely took note. If he killed these people now, no matter how well-phrased the excuses, the Myriad Demon would never go slaughtering gods.
He couldn't let a few insignificant figures derail the main objective right now. If the pitiful Frenzy Demon, Scholar Demon, and the others knew they were just trivial figures in his eyes, they would likely wish for immediate death.
The group continued walking north, traveling about three hundred li until they found a magical teleportation array in an open valley piled with snow. The array was entirely powered by the force of absolute stillness.
Chen Feng entered the array last, and with a flash, he vanished from the spot. When he opened his eyes again, the group had arrived tens of thousands of li away.
Chen Feng swept his mental energy along the ground and let out a wry smile. It turned out this location was exactly where he and Angelisa had parted ways, the very path Angelisa and her group had taken, identifiable by the markers they had left along the way.
Shaking his head, Chen Feng followed the group for another half hour before they all became cautiously alert. Chen Feng knew they had reached their destination.
He gently extended his divine sense, allowing it to spread slowly in all directions. The moment his divine sense expanded, Chen Feng's brow suddenly furrowed.
In this location, he sensed the auras of ten deities. Only one of them possessed an extremely weak aura, on the verge of perishing at any moment.
The other nine, while also low-level deities, showed no sign of disorder in their energy. Chen Feng quickly understood.
Since the Death Demon God Spirit had gone to the Myriad Demon's territory twenty-odd days ago, it implied that this god, too, had been released by Chen Feng from the Profound Heaven Star Dou. Back then, tens of thousands had been released.
For low-level deities like them, forming small, temporary alliances for safety was hardly surprising. "Ten low-level deities…" Chen Feng gave a wry smile and shook his head.
The opposition included a god, while the Myriad Demon’s side, excluding himself, only had five Saint Domain experts. To attempt regicide with such odds—the Myriad Demons were not only bold but also profoundly 'simple-minded.' Since that was the case, he would let them stir up trouble first.
He would intervene later to save them, which would make it much easier to inquire about Long Xiaojiang’s whereabouts. With this thought, Chen Feng settled into a leisurely state, concealing his true strength down to the Saint Domain level, and followed the group at an unhurried pace.
After a while, Chen Feng subtly sensed several streams of divine sense sweep over him. Only God-level experts could detect such probes, yet the Myriad Demons and the others were completely oblivious that their presence had been exposed.
As they neared the location of the faintest life force, the Myriad Demon suddenly hurled a strange object from his hand. The object grew as it met the wind, instantly enveloping the surroundings.
The moment this object was deployed, the Frenzy Demon and the others seemed to receive a signal, simultaneously pouring all their strength into attacking a protruding mound of earth. Roar!
Following their assault, a furious roar echoed, and a figure immediately shot out from the depths of the mound. It was the deity whose aura Chen Feng’s divine sense had detected as the weakest—the Death Demon God Spirit!
The Death Demon God Spirit was indeed severely wounded. It hadn't noticed the Myriad Demons just now.
In a fit of enraged shame, it roared repeatedly, continuously releasing potent power of absolute stillness. Although the Myriad Demons were only Saint Domain experts, since they intended to kill a god, none of them were unprepared.
In an instant, powerful air currents surged, and the two sides engaged in a fierce, back-and-forth battle. "Yamazaki Ryuji, hurry up and act!" The Myriad Demon, noticing Chen Feng watching the spectacle without joining in, felt a jolt in his heart.
He assumed Chen Feng shared the same intention: letting the others fight while he reaped the benefits. Chen Feng ignored his shout, watching leisurely.
The enemy god was currently preoccupied fighting the Death Demon God Spirit and had no time to spare for him. Even if the god was drawn to him, Chen Feng had nothing to fear.
Just as Chen Feng was relaxing, a familiar energy fluctuation suddenly echoed from the distance. This fluctuation was violent, resembling the clash between two God-level powerhouses.
"That power is…" Sensing the energy, Chen Feng’s heart skipped a beat. His divine sense immediately shot towards the direction of the battle like a frenzy, and his entire body flashed away like lightning towards the confrontation.
At this moment, he held back absolutely none of his strength. Whether it was the Myriad Demons, the Frenzy Demon, or the other hidden undead gods underground, they all instinctively felt a sudden turbulence in the air, and Chen Feng had already vanished.
"That is… the aura of a peak God-level powerhouse…" All the hidden gods were momentarily stunned rigid with fright. …………………………………………………… Ling Feng, Jin Ling, and Angelisa stood guard motionlessly, their eyes filled with anxiety.
Between the three of them lay more than a dozen unconscious figures, including Long Xiaojiang, Judy’s brother, and father. "What do we do?
These guys are too strong! They destroyed our teleportation array the moment we took it out.
We’re truly finished this time!" Jin Ling exclaimed loudly, fatigue already showing on her face. "Do you still intend to resist?
Truly overestimating yourselves!" A dark-faced elder standing opposite Ling Feng and the others sneered. "The Nature Flower has always been guarded by our Undead race.
Do you think just a few of you can lay claim to it?" "We don't know what the Nature Flower is, and there is no question of laying claim to it! The reason we came here is purely to rescue our friends!" Angelisa explained.
"Rescue people? Hmph, you mean rescue your accomplices!
These people all dreamed of touching the Nature Flower and were consequently ensnared by its charm. Your objective is nothing less than rescuing them to study a method to break the flower’s enchantment!" the dark-faced elder roared.
"Believe it or not, old man. Don't think you're so great just because you reached God-level cultivation.
My father is known as the foremost god beneath the High-Tier Law God! If you dare harm a single hair on my head, my father will exterminate your entire clan for revenge!" Jin Ling, having no other choice, invoked the name of the Golden Profound Tiger.
"The foremost beneath the High-Tier Law God—so you are the daughter of the Divine Beast Golden Profound Tiger. No wonder you seemed somewhat familiar.
Heh, the Golden Profound Tiger's cultivation is high, and I am no match for him, but does he dare move against our Undead race? Hmph, he is merely a traitor to the God race; a man who betrayed his own brother is worth less than a dog in my eyes!" Hearing Jin Ling mention the Golden Profound Tiger, the dark-faced elder couldn't help but burst into uproarious laughter.
This situation was akin to Wang Jingwei: although Wang Jingwei held high office and was loyal to the Japanese, acting as their watch dog, the Japanese still looked down on him. Even an ordinary Japanese soldier held contempt for him.
A man who betrays his own brothers and friends is always despised, whether by enemies or allies! Therefore, sometimes integrity is crucial.
What a person must stand firm on, they must stand firm on, even when facing death! Death is not terrifying; what is terrifying is how one erases the guilt and condemnation within one's heart!
Jin Ling was instantly consumed by rage upon hearing the elder insult her father so deeply. A surge of fury rushed through her, and ignoring whether she was a match for him, she charged forward!
"Seeking death!" The dark-faced elder let out a cold laugh, flipping his right palm downward. Jin Ling felt as if she had slammed into an impregnable bronze wall, and with a peng, she was slapped down.
Although the difference between God-level and Saint Domain was only one rank, the disparity in strength was immense. "I'll fight you to the death!" Jin Ling went berserk again, lifting herself off the ground.
As her cry rang out, a golden light slowly rose from her body. If Chen Feng were present, he would certainly recognize this—it was the same appearance her father, the Golden Profound Tiger, displayed when pursuing him.
"Divine Beast Bloodline Awakening?" The dark-faced elder was startled by the golden radiance covering Jin Ling and couldn't help but step back. It was rumored that the Four Great Divine Beasts, once their bloodline awakened, could automatically advance to the God level, becoming the strongest existence among their peers.
If they could cultivate to the realm of High-Tier Law God, even a Main God would not dare offend them lightly. There was once someone named Yan Long who, with the strength of a High-Tier Law God, orchestrated a battle that engulfed the entire God Realm—how formidable was that!
This time, Jin Ling’s body struck the protective barrier formed by the dark-faced elder, but unlike the previous time, she was not repelled. Instead, she pierced through like a sharp sword!
Boom! A wave of intense energy fluctuation erupted into the sky!
