The surging, turbulent golden waves were the setting for a massive, black cocoon, bobbing and submerging. It bulged now here, now there, as if a monstrous creature within was struggling violently to break free.
Forces of absolute opposition clashed madly, annihilating one another.
The Boundary Beast, Bedi, however, was completely unconcerned by the suppression of the endless waves and the Yi Nian Xu Kong (One Thought Void). It stared at the black fog cocoon in the distance and laughed brazenly, “Galaxy Lord, trapped within there, your divine power is not only being depleted by the Boundary Beast’s power, but it’s also being continuously siphoned by me. In comparison, my expenditure is far smaller. In terms of sheer power, how can a mere ordinary human life compare to the noble fifth-tier Boundary Beast that I am?”
Bedi was brimming with confidence.
“Break, break, break!” The black fog cocoon convulsed violently again and again, faintly revealing a blade-like shape. It was obvious Luo Feng was using his Blade of Blood Shadow to hack frantically at the cocoon, yet he could not break through.
“Hahaha…” Seeing this, the Boundary Beast Bedi grew even more reckless.
Inside the black fog cocoon, Luo Feng seemed to be hacking madly, burning his divine power in a costly exchange with the Boundary Beast’s power, yet his mind was perfectly calm. He knew… the black fog cocoon was incredibly tough. To forcibly break it, the gap in strength between the two sides would have to be immense!
He could forcefully shatter Morosa’s black fog cocoon, but he couldn't break through the fifth-tier Boundary Beast, ‘Bedi.’
The best tactic was to maintain the power exchange at a moderate level, and then strike with all his might—that was the optimal way to escape.
“My exchange of divine power is only maintained at a relative level; it’s not a full-out burst,” Luo Feng mused inwardly. “Otherwise, if I instantly transformed into the Great God Body, reaching a height of one light-year with surging divine power, I could annihilate this cocoon instantly.”
The power exchange.
As the Blade of Blood Shadow struck, Luo Feng maintained a certain ‘measure,’ displaying just enough strength to prevent the Boundary Beast Bedi from becoming suspicious. But this display was also precisely calibrated so that he could not break free from the black fog cocoon.
“Bedi, you are the strongest Boundary Beast; do you not dare fight me?” Luo Feng roared, his face contorted in furious rage. He understood that Boundary Beasts could sense everything within a considerable distance, and Bedi could see his expression.
“If I could kill you easily, why would I have to fight you so fiercely?” The Boundary Beast Bedi remained relaxed.
In its mind, its greatest rival was the Galaxy Lord! Once the Galaxy Lord was dead, the other powerhouses in the sea of the universe were not worth a thought… and it would effortlessly become the final king!
“Break for me!!!”
Luo Feng’s face was ferocious and wild; his blade light was like dazzling snow, striking the black fog cocoon again and again.
“Exchanging power, I lose fifty percent, and it loses fifty percent. However, it is constantly siphoning my divine power, taking about thirty percent. The ratio of exchange… is that when I consume eighty percent, it consumes fifty percent.” Luo Feng calculated. Although the Boundary Beast Bedi was also siphoning, the process required time for conversion!
Just as Morosa needed time to convert a single Origin, consuming a source required time. If it consumed another Boundary Beast, the same type of energy could be converted rapidly. But converting alien energy was troublesome…
Eight to five!
Luo Feng consumed eight portions; it consumed five. If this continued…
In the blink of an eye, the Boundary Beast Bedi’s own strength had been depleted by ten percent, which astonished it.
“Why isn’t he dead yet?” The Boundary Beast Bedi stared at the black fog cocoon in the distance. The cocoon bulged repeatedly, clearly indicating that Luo Feng, trapped inside, was desperately trying to break out. “Even if his divine body is millions of kilometers tall, it should have been exhausted by now.”
“That’s not right.”
“How can a mere human possess such a massive divine body?”
The Boundary Beast Bedi didn't understand. Although it had spoken with King Zhen Jia and Ancestor God Qiu Yan, those two were ostracized by all races in the sea of the universe and had never been to the Jin World. Naturally, they knew nothing of the three levels of the divine body path. They didn't know that once the divine body reached the third level, one could obtain the Infinite Divine Body.
Though Bedi didn't grasp the specifics, it sensed something was wrong, and it dared not continue the exchange.
“Withdraw!” A flicker of unwillingness crossed Bedi’s two singular eyes as the black fog cocoon in the distance instantly dispersed into countless fine threads, retracting back into its body.
Luo Feng, clad in silver-white armor, stood in the distance, his five pairs of wings spread behind him, holding the Blade of Blood Shadow in his hand.
“Why stop now?” Luo Feng stared at Bedi.
“As expected of the number one powerhouse in the sea of the universe.” Bedi dared not underestimate the Galaxy Lord any further. “Your divine power reserves far exceed my imagination. It seems killing you with such a simple trick is impossible.”
Luo Feng held the Blade of Blood Shadow and shook his head with a sigh. “I intended to destroy a large portion of your power with this move, but I didn't expect you to give up so early.”
“It was a pretense after all,” the Boundary Beast Bedi suddenly growled lowly. “I can’t be bothered with tricks; I’ll just crush and kill you directly.”
“Roar~~~”
With a fierce roar, the blood-colored secret patterns covering Bedi’s entire body suddenly lit up. A blood-red aura enveloped it, and its power surged dramatically. It hurtled toward Luo Feng at a speed that even surpassed Luo Feng’s.
Luo Feng held the Blade of Blood Shadow, recalling what Morosa had once said: “Master, a fifth-tier Boundary Beast that has gained a portion of the ‘Destruction’ Origin possesses the ultimate technique, ‘Destruction.’ Even if it doesn't use that ultimate technique, its normal attacks will still carry traces of the ‘Destruction’ profound mystery, greatly increasing their power.”
“Then I shall see,” Luo Feng declared, burning his divine power to the extreme, instantly pouring it into Wu Qi God.
Wu Qi God, transformed into silver-white, instantly experienced a surge in aura. Luo Feng had activated the second level of Wu Qi God, causing his strength to soar directly. He still held the Blade of Blood Shadow in his hands.
“Human!” The Boundary Beast Bedi, drenched in the blood-red glow, spread its left and right hands one forward and one back, as if grasping an endless universe in each. Then, its right-hand fingers shifted, and a vortex channel instantly materialized in the golden waves. Following this, its left-hand fingers also shifted, and a second vortex channel was born.
The walls of both vortex channels appeared like mirrors, reflecting everything in the outside world. As the two intertwined, they reflected each other, causing the mirrors to align, naturally revealing infinite worlds. The two vortex channels wound around each other, seemingly forming an endless composite world.
“Channel of Reincarnation!” The Boundary Beast Bedi abruptly thrust both claws forward.
Whoosh—
The intertwined vortex channels, creating an infinity of mirrored worlds, carried a strange aura as they enveloped Luo Feng.
“Hmm? What profound mystery of the ‘Destruction Origin’ is this?” Luo Feng instantly perceived the novelty of the mystery within this technique. Just two vortex channels seemed to have birthed billions of spaces.
“Spatial Annihilation.” The Blade of Blood Shadow in Luo Feng’s hand, at this moment, seemed to transform into pliable willow strands. The strands danced, stirring up endless spatial ripples. These ripples converged, ultimately forming an infinite Great Annihilation.
Boom!!!
The void created by Luo Feng’s Blade of Blood Shadow swept over everything; the golden waves were utterly reduced to nothingness wherever it passed.
Bang, bang, bang! The two intertwined vortex channels, bearing unfathomable might, collided with the crushing void, resulting in endless roars. The billions of mirrored worlds unleashed immense power, impacting repeatedly. But the void raised by Luo Feng’s Blade of Blood Shadow continuously ground them down! Whether it was one thousand, ten thousand, or even one hundred million mirrored worlds, they were all annihilated!
Rumble~~ Finally, the two vortex channels completely collapsed. The crushing void continued its sweep for some distance before finally dissipating.
“What?” The Boundary Beast Bedi was greatly shocked. “I’m actually at a disadvantage?” “Flee!” The Boundary Beast Bedi didn't hesitate. It turned and immediately fled, its speed rapidly increasing—a hundred times the speed of light, a thousand times the speed of light…
The Boundary Beast Bedi was employing its Boundary Light Domain, activating its Blood Burning Secret Art, and then unleashing this move, the ‘Channel of Reincarnation,’ which it had comprehended based on its partial understanding of the Destruction Origin upon breaking through to the fifth tier. This was already its strongest technique without severely damaging its core essence.
Indeed, it possessed an even more heaven-defying ultimate technique: ‘Destruction.’ Though it didn't fully understand it, it could still execute it. Once unleashed, it could easily annihilate even a small universe. However, the cost was immense. It had only just entered the fifth tier and hadn't reached the peak of the fifth tier yet! Therefore, it was unwilling to use that move.
“Run!”
“I will flee now and kill him later when my strength reaches the peak of the fifth tier, or even the sixth. He has already become a True God and can no longer improve, but I still have plenty of room to grow.” Although Bedi thought this, a sliver of fear had already taken root in its heart, for this was the first time it had ever fled! No one had ever forced it to flee, yet Luo Feng had made it flee in disarray.
“Stop.” Luo Feng activated the Endless Golden Sea and One Thought Void simultaneously. With a distant point of his finger, the Nine-Layered Star Tower flew out, emitting dazzling light. Its base formed an endless darkness, enveloping the Boundary Beast Bedi in the distance.
Rumble~~ The endless dark vortex frantically siphoned the Boundary Beast Bedi.
“Useless.” The Boundary Beast Bedi activated its Blood Burning Art; the blood-colored secret patterns covering its body flared with light, easily resisting the siphoning of the Star Tower.
“It seems this isn’t enough,” Luo Feng shook his head and immediately retracted the Star Tower.
“Go!” Luo Feng waved his hand again, and an ink-green, plant-like treasure materialized. Immediately, billions of vine branches and leaves spread wildly in all directions, quickly enveloping an expanse of heaven and earth, completely wrapping up the fleeing Boundary Beast Bedi.
“I refuse to believe you can still escape,” Luo Feng said, his eyes blazing with killing intent. “Trapped in the ‘Thousand Silk Marsh,’ coupled with the Endless Golden Sea and One Thought Void. If you escape now, it would be strange.”
One Thought Void controlled time and space. The Endless Golden Sea was a domain-type treasure. The Thousand Silk Marsh was a restraint-type treasure related to mental power weaponry.
All three were derived from mechanical flow techniques! Among them, the Thousand Silk Marsh and the Golden Sea Pearl were typically used by Void True Gods, and both had extremely potent power. Conversely, ‘One Thought Void’ was the weakest of the three.
The superposition of the three—it trapped the Boundary Beast Bedi within.
“Break!”
“Channel of Reincarnation!”
Trapped inside, Bedi felt oceans surrounding it, while time and space were suppressing it. In the distance, dense foliage intertwined to form a sealed world where it now existed. Its body was covered in a blood-red aura, and it desperately unleashed attacks, bombarding the countless branches again and again, but the leaves were incredibly resilient; it simply could not break through.
“Roar!” The Boundary Beast Bedi roared upward in fury, thick blood vessels bulging on its two necks, and madness filling its singular eyes.
It couldn’t escape. With Luo Feng’s methods, it would surely be killed. Therefore, it had to charge out. There was no other choice—only the ultimate technique.
“If you wish to die, then I shall grant you death!” The Boundary Beast Bedi shrieked madly and directly executed its ultimate technique, ‘Destruction’… (To be continued)
