Infighting!

Inside the core control room of the Sacrificial Tower, Qiu Chika and the other four native powerhouses watched everything with tension.

“Die, die, it’s best if they all kill each other,” God Lord Pue muttered, his eyes fixed on the virtual projection from the surveillance.

“Observe closely, see what methods these foreign invaders possess,” Qiu Chika transmitted, his voice grave. “Although we are all King-tier, we’ve been in hiding and haven’t truly fought to the death against other King-tier powerhouses. These foreign invaders, however, have constantly experienced slaughter… We must watch their battles, gain experience, and learn some of their trump cards. To obtain the treasures from the inheritance chamber and treasure chamber, relying solely on schemes and designs isn’t enough; we also need true strength.”

“Yes, Elder.”

“Mm.”

The other three clansmen nodded silently.

They were already prepared… for a life-and-death battle. This battle concerned whether their lineage could prosper in the future.

…

Inside the First Treasure Chamber.

Just as Luo Feng put away the three treasure rune boxes, Zizhong King and Ice Blade charged in with overwhelming killing intent from outside.

“These are part of our clan’s treasures from when we fled; they are definitely far more valuable than the entire fortune of an ordinary King-tier immortal,” Zizhong King transmitted. “Ice Blade, even if we have to burn our immortal divine bodies, we must get our hands on these treasures!”

“I understand,” Ice Blade’s small eyes gleamed like a venomous snake.

Of the two, Ice Blade was tall, while Zizhong King was slender and small. However, in terms of strength, Zizhong King was King-tier peak, while Ice Blade was merely King-tier high-level.

As they exchanged words in secret, their speed didn’t diminish in the slightest as they directly rushed into the treasure chamber.

“Hm?” Luo Feng looked at the two Qichang clan powerhouses charging in.

“Hmph.”

Luo Feng flipped his hand, and the Blood Shadow Battle Blade appeared. The silver wings on his back also subtly flapped and undulated.

“Moyun, help me block them,” Luo Feng commanded.

Immediately, thin vines sprouted from Luo Feng’s shoulders. Though delicate at first, these slender vines rapidly expanded as soon as they extended, simultaneously growing numerous tendrils and leaves. They surged forward like a raging tide, directly engulfing Zizhong King and Ice Blade who were charging in.

Although Moyun Teng was Marquis-tier peak, it was naturally tough and possessed strong regenerative abilities. Its vines’ resilience and strength were comparable to King-tier beginner immortal humans. While there was still a significant gap between it and King-tier peak Zizhong King or King-tier high-level Ice Blade, merely obstructing them… was still an easy task.

“Blood Cloud!” Zizhong King roared.

Whoosh!

Two blood-red flowers, like dripping blood, emerged from Zizhong King’s waist on either side. After extending, they rapidly swelled and grew. The massive flowers acted like a canopy, directly blocking the torrent of vines. The vines coiled and tried to penetrate and extend from the edges of the flowers, but the edges of the flowers were filled with sharp serrations, which began to savagely tear at the Moyun Teng. In terms of offensive capability, Moyun Teng was clearly inferior and could only frantically entangle its opponents.

The two fought to a standstill.

“Auxiliary plant life forms are rare for ordinary immortals, and only some Marquis-tiers possess them. However, it’s quite common for King-tiers to have auxiliary plant life forms, though they usually only cultivate them to immortal army lord peak or Marquis-tier beginner level,” Luo Feng frowned at the sight. “But I didn’t expect this Zizhong King to possess a ‘Blood Demon Flower’ of Marquis-tier peak level.”

“You won’t escape,” Zizhong King grinned at Luo Feng with a hideous face.

“Hmph.” Luo Feng’s wings vibrated, instantly transforming into a blurry streak of light, attempting to escape from the edge of the hundred-meter-wide hatch. Being trapped inside the chamber was troublesome given his escape abilities; once outside, he could flee as he pleased.

“Gagagaga…” A piercing laugh rang out, and a massive blade appeared out of thin air, slashing towards Luo Feng.

“Break!”

A dazzling silver rainbow light, like a river, stretched across the sky, directly shattering the massive blade and causing the space within the chamber to ripple and crack. It quickly recovered naturally, but although Luo Feng defeated his opponent, his speed was affected. Just then, a voice transmission came from outside: “Yang, I’m here to help you!”

“Huci King!” Luo Feng rejoiced inwardly.

Being trapped inside the chamber, escaping was indeed difficult, but with Huci King’s help, he could engage the opponents head-on, and he could find an opportunity to escape.

“Ah!”

“Huci King!” An angry, piercing cry echoed through the chamber. The slender Zizhong King turned, his face contorted in rage. In front of him, three flaming bells appeared out of thin air. Each flaming bell burned so intensely that the surrounding space shattered. Immediately, the three flaming bells flew simultaneously towards Huci King, who wielded two terrifying great axes.

“Hahahaha~~~” Huci King laughed wildly.

“Heaven and Earth Split!!!”

Huci King used his left axe for defense, while his right axe cleaved downwards vertically. With this strike… heaven and earth seemed to split like a river, its terrifying power turning the surrounding area into a chaotic spatial turbulence zone. Seeing the axe cleave towards the ‘Blood Demon Flowers’ blocking the hatch, Zizhong King could only grit his teeth and let the three flaming bells block the axe!

“Boom, boom, boom~~” The axe blade collided with the three flaming bells.

The impact caused the dense runes on the Sacrificial Tower to faintly shimmer, but the tower itself withstood the impact without any damage.

“Ice Blade, you and Blood Cloud work together to stop that human! I’ll stop Huci King!” Zizhong King roared via transmission. “Wait, once Cangjin King arrives, we’ll win for sure. We don’t need to defeat him, just block the chamber door and prevent him from coming out, and we’ll win!”

“Leave it to me,” Ice Blade roared.

…

Zizhong King and Huci King battled outside the chamber door, while Luo Feng and Ice Blade fought inside. Luo Feng charged repeatedly; although he could overpower Ice Blade, Ice Blade fought fearlessly, disregarding everything else, focused only on blocking Luo Feng. Coupled with the assistance of the Blood Demon Flower… it truly prevented Luo Feng from breaking out.

“Cangjin King!” Zizhong King, struggling to resist, saw a bolt of lightning shoot in from afar and was instantly overjoyed.

That bolt of lightning was precisely Cangjin King!

Lightning flashed!

Cangjin King had arrived!

“Get out of the way!” Cangjin King roared, his voice echoing directly in Huci King’s mind. The invisible soul attack, like a domineering lightning spear, furiously assaulted Huci King’s body, destroying the soul imprints within his immortal divine body. Although Cangjin King specialized in physical strength amplification, not soul amplification.

He had achieved some minor success in soul attack methods.

“Ugh—” Huci King’s soul trembled, making him momentarily sluggish.

“Bang!”

Cangjin King’s massive foot violently kicked Huci King’s head, causing it to directly dent. At the same time, Huci King was sent flying, crashing heavily into the corridor wall nearby. The Sacrificial Tower’s corridor walls vibrated slightly, and some of the carved runes on them flickered faintly.

“Move aside,” Cangjin King transmitted.

“Understood.” Zizhong King immediately commanded the Blood Demon Flower via soul communication, “Blood Cloud, let Cangjin King in.”

Whoosh!

The heavily obstructing Blood Demon Flower, which had completely sealed the hatch, quickly parted to create a passage, allowing Cangjin King to charge directly inside.

…

Inside the chamber.

The blooming Blood Demon Flower and numerous Moyun Teng almost filled the entire chamber, making it seem like a world of flowers and vines, a plant world.

“Human!” After Cangjin King rushed in, he immediately attacked Luo Feng.

“Die!!!”

A true lightning spear suddenly appeared in Cangjin King’s hand. The spear was ancient, shimmering with lightning. As Cangjin King roared, his entire body began to shrink by a size, but his whole body also glowed with an eerie blue light, as if made of blue metal.

This sight made Luo Feng’s heart palpitate: “Body amplification secret technique!”

Using an amplification secret technique would cause physical changes, and Cangjin King was currently employing this move.

“Whoosh!”

Cangjin King roared and violently hurled the spear. All his power was concentrated into this single spear. In the confined space, with the spear thrown at near light speed… Luo Feng had no time to dodge. He could only immediately fold his wings and heavily shield himself with the Shi Wu Wings as Cangjin King unleashed his amplification secret technique.

“Pfft!” The lightning spear directly pierced Luo Feng’s wings.

Luo Feng was sent flying backward, ‘nailed’ to the chamber wall by the lightning spear. To be precise, the lightning spear only struck the Shi Wu Wings’ wing, failing to pierce through even a bit. But the incredibly terrifying impact still ‘nailed’ Luo Feng to the wall for a brief moment.

“What?” Cangjin King was utterly shocked. “It didn’t even shatter his body?”

He knew it would be difficult to kill a King-tier immortal with his full-power strike, but in his eyes, this human ‘Yang’ was only at King-tier high-level. Even if he didn’t die from his full-power strike, his body should have been completely blown apart.

“Yang! I’ll hold off Cangjin King!” Yechen King also charged in like a phantom.

Huci King once again engaged Zizhong King in battle.

“Yechen King!!!”

Cangjin King abruptly turned, lightning flashing in his eyes, glaring at Yechen King… Although Luo Feng had blocked his attack just now, Cangjin King still clearly understood that the greatest threat among the enemy team was Yechen King, followed by Huci King. Both Yechen King and Huci King were King-tier peak.

The least threatening was ‘Yang’.

“Ice Blade, desperately entangle Huci King for me,” Cangjin King instantly commanded. “Zizhong King, even if you have to burn your immortal divine body, seize the treasure for me. Yechen King is mine!”

“Alright.” Zizhong King gritted his teeth and instantly rushed into the chamber.

And Ice Blade went to desperately block Huci King.

As for Cangjin King…

He extended one hand, and the lightning spear directly fell into it. Cangjin King’s icy gaze fell upon Yechen King. With the body amplification secret technique activated, Cangjin King, whose entire body glowed with an eerie blue light, exuded an invisible pressure… that made Yechen King’s heart palpitate, forcing him to cautiously observe his opponent.

“Even if I have to burn my immortal divine body to get the treasure?” Zizhong King gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with madness.

Luo Feng, holding the Blood Shadow Battle Blade… also watched Zizhong King.

When a battle reached such a desperate, frenzied point, burning one’s immortal divine body was a last resort.

“It seems that for the treasure, the battle might escalate to the point of burning immortal divine bodies,” Luo Feng thought silently. “But I… don’t have an immortal divine body.”

“Hand over the treasure! Otherwise… perish!”

Zizhong King’s eyes were filled with madness.

Boom!

The three flaming bells instantly circled, like a miniature star emitting endless light and heat, directly smashing towards Luo Feng.
