Divine Temple Envoy

Deep in the night, within the three-story pavilion of purple flame sunken wood belonging to the Chunyu Family. Chunyu Tao sat cross-legged, eyelids drooping, deep in thought. “The news can’t be wrong. The two special envoys from the Immortal Divine Temple are in Yangang City. But that scoundrel Shifeng Xiong would never introduce me to them... Ugh, what a hassle. How can I possibly get in touch with those Divine Temple Envoys?” Boom! A violent aura suddenly erupted from the northeast, causing the previously drowsy Chunyu Tao to snap his head up. His eyes shot towards the northeast, transforming into two beams of light that blasted the closed window on the east side of the pavilion into smithereens, revealing the beautiful distant eastern vista. A lightning orb, a full kilometer high, stood towering in the City Lord’s Mansion. Thunder and lightning crackled, electric snakes danced—a sight that greatly astonished Chunyu Tao. It wasn’t just Chunyu Tao... many people throughout Yangang City were stunned. There were no kilometer-high buildings within Yangang City, so when the lightning orb appeared—especially in the dead of night—it was exceptionally conspicuous. Almost everyone within a hundred-kilometer radius, whose line of sight wasn’t obstructed, witnessed it. “What’s going on? Why did that scoundrel Shifeng Xiong release his domain? Did he encounter some master?” Startled, Chunyu Tao suddenly rushed out of the room. Standing in mid-air, gazing towards the northeast, Chunyu Tao’s expression constantly shifted. “Who in Yangang City could possibly push Shifeng Xiong to fight so desperately? There are no other Domain-level experts, and with two Divine Temple Envoys present, who would be crazy enough to attack now... Could it be... he’s clashing with the Divine Temple Envoys?” Chunyu Tao didn’t know the full extent of the Divine Temple Envoys’ strength. To become a Divine Temple Envoy, one had to be Domain-level, but whether that meant early, middle, late, or peak stage was unclear. “Careful, don’t let me get dragged into this.” Chunyu Tao cautiously flew over, not daring to release a single trace of his aura, fearing the other party would mistake him for an enemy. He had to be careful! Because Chunyu Tao had no background, no backing; if he died, the Chunyu Family would be doomed. Chunyu Tao knew the paramount importance of staying alive. ...In truth, the battle between Luo Feng and Shifeng Xiong, at their level, involved dozens of exchanges in just one or two seconds. The entire fight, from beginning to end, including Luo Feng’s final assassination strike, lasted only tens of seconds. The longest part was actually waiting for Shifeng Xiong to walk into position for that final strike... The air exploded, lightning scattered everywhere, energy blasts flew wildly, and dazzling golden energy waves erupted. The luxurious pavilions and flower gardens were blasted into fragments flying everywhere, plunging the entire City Lord’s Mansion into endless terror. Meanwhile, Chunyu Tao quietly snuck closer, cautious and prudent. As he hid behind a dilapidated, collapsed palace, peering into the distance, he saw Luo Feng reaching for a spatial storage device. “A spatial storage device?” Chunyu Tao’s eyes immediately reddened with greed. “Shifeng Xiong’s countless treasures must be inside! He’s the favored disciple of that World Master, and as City Lord, he must have amassed a fortune. All his treasures are in there! And this black-armored figure... his aura doesn’t seem very powerful.” “Should I do it or not?” Chunyu Tao gritted his teeth, staring intently at the black-armored figure in the distance. Hesitation! Indecision! “Do it!” Chunyu Tao’s eyes flashed with resolve. If not now, when? “Hmm?” Just as he was about to rush out, Chunyu Tao sensed two massive auras rapidly descending. He couldn’t help but turn his head to look... Two silver-gray figures stood in the night sky. The silver-gray battle armor they wore was the symbol of an Immortal Divine Temple Special Envoy, and the terrifying aura emanating from them made one’s heart palpitate. “So strong! Both of them are stronger than me!” Chunyu Tao’s expression instantly changed drastically. “These two are probably both peak Domain-level!” His previous greed was instantly scared away. “I’ll just watch, see if there’s any opportunity to gain something.” Chunyu Tao concealed his aura and hid there. When one reached Domain-level, their core was the life core (singularity), and their aura could be completely retracted into it. The outside world couldn’t detect it at all... just like how some instruments could accurately test strength up to Apprentice-level to Universe-level, but the strength of Sector Lords and Universe Masters couldn’t be accurately detected. Unless the other party actively released their aura! “So strong,” Chunyu Tao muttered, the muscles at the corner of his eye twitching. ...Clad in black battle armor, wearing battle boots, a battle helmet, and a face mask, Luo Feng was fully armed! “These two...” Luo Feng looked up at the two figures suspended in the sky, clad in silver-gray battle armor. They were clearly furious, and the aura they actively unleashed made his heart tremble. “They’re at least Sector Lord-level seventh or eighth tier, possibly even ninth tier. A bit troublesome.” Yes! Merely troublesome. Luo Feng had always preferred not to use his Demon Killer Clan clone, wanting only to temper himself. But once his life was threatened, who would foolishly throw it away? With the Demon Killer Clan’s strength, especially when its abnormal spatial law ability was unleashed... if he wanted to escape, those two wouldn’t be able to stop him! “Must you act, both of you?” Luo Feng asked, looking at the two in the sky. “Haha, you killed my junior brother! Are you expecting me to let you go?” the handsome middle-aged man in the night sky roared angrily. ...The two special envoys from the Immortal Divine Temple in the night sky exuded a powerful and terrifying aura. “I didn’t expect this to happen,” the other man beside him transmitted telepathically. “Brother You, I’m sorry, I didn’t foresee this.” “Old Mo, I don’t blame you. I was also careless,” the handsome man muttered, secretly resentful. For the past two or three days, Shifeng Xiong had entertained them exceptionally well. Especially tonight, he had even arranged for mermaids from the legendary ‘Demon Sea’ to sing for them and attend to them in bed. These mermaids... were considered the most exquisite women on Xueluo Continent. They could shed their fishtails to assume human form, and regain them upon touching water. Each sang incredibly movingly; it was an absolute pleasure. However, mermaids could only be found in the Demon Sea, a truly terrifying region on Xueluo Continent. Capturing a mermaid alive was extremely difficult, which was why they were highly sought after by many powerful figures across the continent. As Divine Temple Special Envoys, they rarely enjoyed such leisure back at the Divine Temple. So, upon seeing the mermaids, they naturally didn’t mind indulging in some comfort and pleasure. The two of them were enjoying themselves immensely when they suddenly felt a powerful aura erupt in the distance. At first, they were too lazy to move, confident that within this world, no one would dare provoke Shifeng Xiong, the disciple of World Master Siyong, and that Shifeng Xiong could handle it. But then, the distant aura grew too intense, excessively so, accompanied by roars and explosions. Annoyed, the two left their beds to investigate. By the time they arrived, Shifeng Xiong was already dead! ...Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, the atmosphere instantly became explosive. “You’re not my targets, and I’m too lazy to kill. Don’t force my hand!” Luo Feng glanced at the two in mid-air, then took a step and shot into the sky. “Trying to escape?” the handsome man in mid-air roared, simultaneously transmitting his voice to the special envoy beside him. “Old Mo, he killed my junior brother, so leave this to me. Just keep an eye out for me... I’m worried this kid might have some sudden way to escape. Just make sure he doesn’t get away.” “Brother You, leave it to me, rest assured,” Special Envoy Mo nodded. Indebted by the hospitality they had received these past few days, and with Shifeng Xiong dead, Special Envoy Mo naturally wanted to do his part. ...As Luo Feng shot into the sky, he saw the handsome man, with a murderous aura, tearing through the air towards him. He couldn’t help but frown. “You’re really forcing my hand. Since you’re seeking death... then I’ll send you to your demise!” Inside his inner world, the Demon Killer Clan clone had already transformed to look exactly like the Luo Feng outside. It also held a Blood Shadow Battle Blade and wore battle armor. This armor, Blood Shadow Battle Blade, and shield weren’t considered high-grade weapons by the Virtual Universe Company; they were merely custom-made temporarily for his venture into the Xueluo World. Because they were so cheap, he had ordered ten sets at once, just in case one broke and he needed a backup. “Switch!” Luo Feng commanded with a thought. Swish! The Luo Feng outside (his Earthling true body) and the Demon Killer Clan clone in his inner world instantly switched places. His Earthling true body entered the inner world, while the Demon Killer Clan clone appeared in the outside world. This instantaneous switch, combined with Luo Feng’s high-speed flight, made it impossible to discern any change. “Hmm, his aura has retracted?” Special Envoy You, who was rapidly pursuing, noticed that the black-armored warrior’s aura, which had been Universe-level ninth tier, instantly completely retracted and became undetectable. “I’m peak Domain-level. Unless he’s World-level, he’s dead for sure!” A battle blade suddenly appeared in Special Envoy You’s hand, and he instantly caught up to the black-armored warrior Luo Feng, roaring telepathically, “You’ve got some nerve! In this world, only my junior brother and I kill others; we’ve never been bullied like this before! Go to hell!” Boom! A faint smile appeared at the corner of Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng’s mouth. That wonderfully integrated feeling with cosmic space, like a fish swimming in water or a baby comfortable in its mother’s arms, allowed Luo Feng to clearly sense an incredibly violent and powerful aura attacking from behind. “Guess he really is Sector Lord-level ninth tier!” Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng grinned, a cold smile playing on his lips. “The strongest assassination race in the universe, combined with my achievements from studying the ‘Ninefold Chaos Stele’... let me show you.” Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng closed his eyes. The fierce aura slashed wildly towards him, and when it was almost upon him— Swish! Special Envoy You’s eyes were filled with killing intent. His battle blade, swift as thunder and incredibly fierce, cleaved the black-armored warrior before him into two halves. But as he struck, his expression instantly changed drastically. “Something’s wrong!” The ‘black-armored warrior’ he had cleaved showed no blood, not even a physical sensation, and was now slowly dissipating. “Where is he? How could he be so close without me noticing?” Special Envoy You was terrified. “Brother You, he’s behind you!!!” A terrified and anxious voice echoed in Special Envoy You’s mind. Special Envoy You abruptly spun around. Standing right behind him was a black-armored warrior, watching him, as a blade light suddenly illuminated.
