The Might of the Blood Cloud

"Me, stop him?" The Lord of Scorching Fire was immediately reluctant. Although he belonged to the Monster Race Alliance, he wasn't a Monster Race member himself, but the leader of a powerful race. The Blood Cloud Palace Master was infamous, having even killed two Cosmic Lords. His strength... definitely placed him among the peak Cosmic Lords. While the Lord of Scorching Fire wasn't weak, he was still a step below. "Just hold him back!" the Dream Demon Ancestor commanded. "What's more, you have a clone!" "Though I have a clone, this old fellow hasn't appeared for over three million epochs. I can't predict what methods he possesses. If this clone of mine falls, my True Treasure will also be seized by him! And I'm also carrying the token of 'Zhen Chang Valley'," the Lord of Scorching Fire said, unwilling to take the risk. He was the leader of a powerful race; his entire race depended on him for support. "If your clone falls, once the Blood Cloud Palace Master dies, your True Treasures and other possessions will naturally be returned to you," the Dream Demon Ancestor said. "If the Blood Cloud Palace Master escapes this ordeal, my alliance will compensate you for half of your losses! Hmph, you are also the renowned Lord of Scorching Fire; can it be that you can't even protect your own life in front of him?" "Alright! Since the Ancestor has promised, I will go and hold him back." The Lord of Scorching Fire no longer hesitated. Boom! He transformed into a streak of light and swiftly pursued Luo Feng. ... Luo Feng and the Lord of Scorching Fire were not far apart, only a few hundred million kilometers. Luo Feng was flying through the void. "Blood Cloud Palace Master, wait a moment." A powerful voice echoed in Luo Feng's ear. "Hmph." Luo Feng sneered, but continued forward. "Blood Cloud Palace Master, I, the Lord of Scorching Fire, wish to speak with you," the powerful voice said again. Clearly, the Lord of Scorching Fire didn't truly want to fight Luo Feng. After all, while various major powers had grievances with Luo Feng, the Lord of Scorching Fire himself didn't have much animosity towards him. If he could just hold Luo Feng back, it would be a great merit. If the Blood Cloud Palace Master died afterward, the Lord of Scorching Fire would naturally receive a share of the treasures. "Lord of Scorching Fire! Do you take me for a fool like yourself?" Luo Feng said softly. "You—" The Lord of Scorching Fire was so enraged he was momentarily speechless. He couldn't help but sigh, realizing why the Blood Cloud Palace Master had enemies throughout the cosmos. He was simply too ruthless. Despite having no animosity with the Blood Cloud Palace Master, merely attempting to speak with him resulted in being called foolish. Wasn't this an insult to a Cosmic Lord? If any other powerful being had said such words, the Lord of Scorching Fire would have roared and sought battle. But these words came from the infamous Blood Cloud Palace Master, so his anger quickly subsided. After all, the Blood Cloud Palace Master naturally had such a temperament. Otherwise, how could he have offended all the major powers in the cosmos? ... One flew ahead, the other pursued from behind. "The Blood Cloud Palace Master is fleeing at maximum speed. I can't catch up, so I can only track him for now." The Lord of Scorching Fire tracked him from a distance, simultaneously sending messages to the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Shocking Demon Ancestor repeatedly. A moment later. Luo Feng flew directly into a vortex passage. "He has entered the vortex passage. That vortex passage leads to Primal Star No. 06231," the Lord of Scorching Fire immediately reported. ... The news immediately spread from the Monster Race Alliance, passed between super-beings. Within moments, all parties knew... the Blood Cloud Palace Master had entered Primal Star No. 06231. "Lord of Star River, we are about to reach the coordinates of the Blood Cloud Palace Master on Primal Star No. 03129." "Mm." Six Cosmic Lords from the Northern Territory Alliance were flying together in the mid-air of a Primal Star. Leading them was the 'Lord of Star River,' who held a very high position in the Northern Territory Alliance. Although a total of 12 Cosmic Lords from the Northern Territory Alliance were participating in this operation, the other six Cosmic Lords were already on various Primal Stars and were rushing to the location. "Stop!" the Lord of Star River commanded. The other five towering figures in mid-air stopped simultaneously, all looking at the Lord of Star River—a tall, dark void. "The Blood Cloud Palace Master has left Primal Star No. 03129 and arrived at Primal Star No. 06231 through a vortex passage," the Lord of Star River stated. "What do we do then?" "This is troublesome now." The other five Cosmic Lords all felt a bad premonition. "What's the fastest route to reach the vortex passage coordinates on Primal Star No. 06231?" the Lord of Star River ordered. "By transiting through 8 Primal Stars, we'll spend the least amount of time en route," a Cosmic Lord immediately replied. "Then, let's depart." The Lord of Star River gave the order. Boom! The six Cosmic Lords immediately changed direction. ... The news indeed caused great dissatisfaction among the various factions pursuing the Blood Cloud Palace Master, but they were helpless. Each Primal Star had a full 10,081 vortex passages, which presented a huge challenge for pursuit. Perhaps... this was also a major reliance for the Blood Cloud Palace Master appearing on the Primal Stars. ... The towering figure of the Lord of Scorching Fire also stepped into the vortex passage, entering another Primal Star. As soon as he entered, before he could even control the surrounding space-time to observe. "Hm?" The Lord of Scorching Fire looked on in shock. He saw endless black mist permeating roughly a hundred million kilometers away in the distance. Within that endless black mist, an ancient palace shimmered faintly, and a figure stood in mid-air before the ancient palace, appearing indistinct and ethereal within the black mist. "Blood Cloud Palace!" The Lord of Scorching Fire immediately recognized the famous True Treasure. The Blood Cloud Palace was a top-tier True Treasure in the form of a flying palace! It was a full level higher than the Sirius Hall. Incredibly sturdy... even a Universe Supreme Master would find it difficult to destroy the Blood Cloud Palace, and it could release black mist covering a range of hundreds of billions of kilometers. Black mist swirling, a majestic palace—this was the Blood Cloud Palace. Relying on the Blood Cloud Palace, he had repeatedly evaded deadly attacks. "The Blood Cloud Palace Master didn't escape after all?" The Lord of Scorching Fire was secretly astonished. "Hahaha, Lord of Scorching Fire, what's wrong, scared?" The black mist suddenly expanded, directly covering the Lord of Scorching Fire, and a voice rang out, "Weren't you chasing me? It's been a long, long time since I had a fight. Now, I'll give you this chance!" "Hmph!" The Lord of Scorching Fire snorted in anger. This Blood Cloud Palace Master actually didn't put him in his eyes at all. "Haha, truly gutless," the Blood Cloud Palace Master's voice came. "Then I won't bother accompanying you." "Blood Cloud, if you have guts, don't run!" Seeing the Blood Cloud Palace Master about to fly away again, the Lord of Scorching Fire immediately roared, transforming into a streak of light and flying directly towards him. "Hahaha." Boom! The Blood Cloud Palace Master waved his hand, retracting the Blood Cloud Palace. Holding a long spear, he directly flew forward with a whistle. "I'll show you my power." The Lord of Scorching Fire held two massive hammers, and the flames on his nine tentacles atop his head blazed, roaring. Luo Feng, holding his long spear, also arrived swiftly, secretly marveling at how many super-beings among the myriad races in the cosmos used 'hammers' as weapons. Over a hundred million kilometers, the two flew towards each other, arriving in moments. "Blood Cloud, prepare to die!" The Lord of Scorching Fire roared. As a hammer swung out, it was naturally accompanied by an angry, furious roar. This roar seemed to come from ancient cosmic times. The Lord of Scorching Fire was a being who had fully mastered the Path of the Beast God in 'Fire and Space'. With one hammer strike... the stable space around them shattered inch by inch, as if glass crushed by a tank. "Just you?" Luo Feng's current height was thousands of kilometers, and the Lord of Scorching Fire was also thousands of kilometers tall. The long spear in Luo Feng's hand, disguised as a 'Blood Cloud Pearl' by the Star Tower, was over three thousand kilometers long. "Die!" Luo Feng stared at his opponent from afar, his entire divine power already burning, continuously pouring into the long spear in his hand. Currently, of the Star Tower's complex secret pattern carvings, Luo Feng had only fully comprehended the first layer. Although the second layer was close to being fully comprehended, it was still slightly incomplete and couldn't be fully activated. Thus, it required more divine power consumption, and its might was not as strong as when the second layer could be activated. He activated the Star Tower spear! Through the spear, he unleashed the Cosmic Lord ultimate secret technique, "Bloodlight." This newly created Cosmic Lord ultimate secret technique was being used in battle for the first time. "Shatter!" the Lord of Scorching Fire roared. The divine hammer's power was endless, momentarily like the heavens collapsing and the earth rending... Suddenly, a dazzling crimson light spear flashed past instantly, terrifyingly fast, so much so that the Lord of Scorching Fire's two divine hammers didn't even have time to block it. "Pfft!" The crimson light spear directly pierced the Lord of Scorching Fire's chest. "Bang!" The Lord of Scorching Fire gritted his teeth and smashed his divine hammer onto the Blood Cloud Palace Master's body. Boom! Boom! Both flew backward. "How could it be so fast? So fast I didn't even have time to block it." Although the Lord of Scorching Fire had guessed that the Blood Cloud Palace Master, after not being seen for over three million epochs, would have undergone some changes, he hadn't expected him to be so fast using a new True Treasure, the 'long spear'. While he was unprepared, it was truly too fast. "As expected of the Blood Cloud Palace Master, with the size of my divine body, he actually caused me to directly lose nearly 1% of my divine body. His strength is definitely among the peak Cosmic Lords," the Lord of Scorching Fire thought in secret alarm. "Fortunately, it was only this one time. Next time, I won't let him directly attack my divine body." Normally, when two fought. It would be a clash of weapons... and the remaining power after being blocked by weapons would be much weaker. But just now, it was a pure exchange of injuries, with no weapon parry. Luo Feng's spear directly pierced the Lord of Scorching Fire's body, and the Lord of Scorching Fire's heavy hammer also directly struck Luo Feng's body. "The Robe Armor is truly formidable, weakening attacks to one hundred-thousandth. That hammer strike caused negligible consumption to my divine body, and I can fully recover in moments." Luo Feng glanced at the long spear in his hand. "As expected of an ultimate True Treasure. I can only activate the first layer to wield this ultimate True Treasure, so only a small portion of its power is unleashed. Yet, it's still much stronger than my strongest attack when I fought Lord Banfu." For this battle, Luo Feng was fully prepared. After all, the Robe Armor had stronger defense than the Beast God Armor, so Luo Feng temporarily swapped it with his Earthling original body. This 'Blood Cloud Palace Master' temporarily wore the Robe Armor! Wielding the Star Tower spear! "Blood Cloud Palace Master, I'm impressed. But you won't get another chance," the Lord of Scorching Fire roared. "Hahaha, anyone can boast." Luo Feng and the Lord of Scorching Fire clashed once more. Boom! This time, the Lord of Scorching Fire defended with all his might. His first divine hammer still failed to block, but the second divine hammer barely managed to parry. This only resulted in Luo Feng completely blasting the Lord of Scorching Fire away. "The Star Tower's power is too immense; I'm only unleashing a fraction of it. When I fought Lord Banfu, even with the power amplification of my miniature universe, I only managed to suppress him... now, I'm simply crushing the Lord of Scorching Fire." Luo Feng fully felt the Star Tower's might. Each thrust was terrifyingly fast, and the impact force repeatedly sent the Lord of Scorching Fire flying far away. This complete suppression and crushing brought Luo Feng an unprecedented sense of exhilaration. Embodying the Blood Cloud Palace Master brought Luo Feng great freedom. Wielding the Star Tower to crush a Cosmic Lord at this moment made Luo Feng feel even more exhilarated. He was only a tiny bit away from fully comprehending the second layer of the Star Tower's secret pattern carvings. Coupled with having already comprehended the fifth stage of the Path of the Beast God before coming to the Primal Star, his mastery of secret pattern flow was even deeper. And with his current state of mind... during the 35th clash between Luo Feng and the Lord of Scorching Fire, he unconsciously and instantly fully activated the second layer of secret pattern carvings.
