Land of Slaughter

In the seventh battlefield of the Outer Territory Battlefield, there were several incredibly terrifying existences. In their respective factions, they were all peerless leaders. Luo Feng knew that even if he used all his trump cards, he wouldn't be a match for any of them. When the power gap was too vast, other methods simply wouldn't work. If the Immortal Bug Empress 'Nan Cheng' counted as one, then Xuanmu King was another. Nan Cheng relied on her Immortal Bug army to sweep across the battlefield, primarily through the strength of her legion. Xuanmu King, however, relied on a single 'Blood Tomb Blade' to achieve endless slaughter, forging a formidable reputation through his individual combat prowess. In terms of fame, Xuanmu King was even slightly more renowned! As for their combat strength, it was hard to say who was stronger or weaker. For instance, in confined spaces, the Immortal Bug army's strength would be affected, and Xuanmu King could easily crush the entire legion! But if they were far apart, and the Immortal Bug army could unleash various combined attacks freely, then they would be truly terrifying. A piece of information surfaced in Luo Feng's mind: "Xuanmu King, inherently arrogant, has offended countless powerful individuals. He hails from the Qi Wang Clan. Due to offending too many powerhouses, he fled directly to the Outer Territory Battlefield during his Domain Lord stage, beginning a long career of slaughter there. He grew from a Domain Lord to a being almost on par with an Invincible King. The Qi Wang Clan had long considered him a future pillar of their race, suppressing and resolving his past enemies one by one, and offering numerous resources to aid his growth." "Impressive," Luo Feng thought to himself. "To grow from the Domain Lord stage to such a level, if he were a bit more well-rounded in all aspects, he could rival my teacher, Zhenyan King." Nan Cheng and Xuanmu King were both close to the 'Invincible King' level. The gap might seem small, but the further one progressed, the harder it became. To become more well-rounded, to improve further, was incredibly difficult. Beings like Zhenyan King, who could reach the 'Invincible King' stage at the Immortal level, were incredibly rare across the billions of races in the entire universe. Their numbers were far, far fewer than even the number of Universe Venerables! ... Time flowed on, and these powerhouses continued to gather, converging in various forbidden spaces, then moving on to the next. The time spent in each forbidden space ranged from half an an hour to half a day. After two days, the number of experts in Luo Feng's group had become astonishing. "Just our group alone has over 16,000 experts," Tianzhen King remarked beside Luo Feng, marveling. "This isn't even the final gathering point. At the ultimate destination, when all groups of experts converge, the numbers will be terrifyingly high." "Indeed." Luo Feng's gaze swept past one of the human faction's experts—a human man with seven battle swords of different styles strapped to his back. He wore purple combat armor with a faint ancient aura, special black gloves, and an imprint of seven battle swords on his forehead. The powerful aura he exuded... even the Xuanmu King from the distant demon race faction was affected and unleashed his own bloody aura. "Seven Swords King!" Luo Feng sighed inwardly. Seven Swords King, a human powerhouse. The human faction's experts had accumulated to over 5,000 Immortal Gods, more than ninety percent of whom were King-level. There were dozens of peak King-level experts alone, and dozens of peak King-level individuals skilled in soul attacks. Naturally, the core of this group of human experts was no longer Luo Feng or Tianzhen King, but the Seven Swords King! "Seven Swords King, according to my teacher, has the potential to catch up to him and Tian Yu King and the others," Luo Feng mused. Seven Swords King followed the Psychic Master path. In his youth, he distinguished himself from the Giant Axe Martial Arena, being absorbed as a core genius. He consistently improved as the top genius of that era. Perhaps in terms of talent and speed of progress, he couldn't compare to Ke Di, nor to Luo Feng (when Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast and Demon Killer Clan clones reached the Sector Lord level, his Earth human original body was still at the Domain Lord level, which made his progress seem astonishing, but his actual speed of progress wasn't as exaggerated as it appeared). However, Seven Swords King was still far more talented than someone like Bolan. After becoming an Immortal, Seven Swords King was taken as a direct disciple by a certain Universe Master from the Giant Axe Martial Arena. From then on, he rose rapidly, cultivating for only tens of thousands of years, and was already close to 'Invincible King' status, not far behind old veterans like Zhenyan King and Tian Yu King. The high-level echelons of the human race held Seven Swords King in high regard, believing he had a very strong chance of becoming a 'Universe Venerable'. The full cultivation support from the human race, the guidance of that Universe Master—and Seven Swords King's own unique encounters—all contributed to the 'Seven Swords King' of today. "He's a direct disciple of a Universe Master." "Which Universe Master is it?" "I don't know, I heard he's from the Giant Axe Martial Arena faction among humans." "Humans are truly powerful. Our race doesn't even have a single Universe Master, yet their human race is divided into five major forces, and each force has existences like Universe Masters." The human faction members quietly discussed among themselves. Regardless of Seven Swords King's combat strength, his identity alone as a 'direct disciple of a Universe Master' was enough for the human faction to rally around him. Because such an existence... would definitely not perish! It was no joke; for a direct disciple of a Universe Master to perish would be far more terrifying than the appearance of a Sealing Star. "Luo Feng, if your identity were exposed, you'd be even more dazzling than that Seven Swords King!" Babata communicated telepathically. "You were taken as a direct disciple by Chaos City Lord, and Chaos City Lord is the primary authority of the Virtual Universe Company, and he presides over the human holy land, Chaos City. That's much stronger. And you were taken as a direct disciple while still a Sector Lord." "Dazzling for what? Shut up quickly," Luo Feng transmitted back, scolding him. "So fierce!" Babata grumbled, ignoring Luo Feng. "Seven Swords King?" Luo Feng glanced. It would be very difficult for him to defeat Seven Swords King at his current Sector Lord level, but if he became an Immortal God, defeating Seven Swords King would be easy. "Unfortunately, I'm only a Sector Lord." "I haven't found the best choice for my third clone. I absolutely cannot break through before nurturing my third clone. My cultivation time is short, and my comprehension of laws isn't high, so I'm not in a hurry to break through." Luo Feng had already spent countless efforts on this third clone, simply checking through the Hong Alliance and the treasure vaults, examining many special creatures' fur, blood, and so on. But—there were many creatures stronger than the Golden Horned Beast that could be bought, yet they didn't meet Luo Feng's expectations. After all, there were still some incredibly heaven-defying special creatures in the universe, some of which were unique, like 'Beast Gods'. Of course, Luo Feng only needed a heaven-defying creature at the 'Sector Lord' stage... ... The 16,000+ Immortal Gods from the four major factions, including the human faction, came from all corners of the universe. They varied greatly in appearance: there were flesh and blood beings, energy beings, metal beings, plant life... Plant life was also a vast category; although there were those with very weak consciousness like Moyun Vine and Star-Eating Plant, there were also plant races as intelligent as humans, some even resembling humans in appearance, differing only in their internal life structure. "Rumble~~~~" The mountains rumbled, revealing a massive, unfathomably deep cave, within which starlight faintly swirled. "An exit!" "It's an exit!" Immediately, all four factions stirred. According to their proximity, the 16,000+ Immortal Gods from various races in the four major factions surged into the massive cave. The human faction, in third place, entered in a mighty procession. Upon entering, they felt a spatial shift, and landed directly on a giant stone peak. ... In the endless void, stone peaks floated one after another. Each peak was very close to the next, forming a grand avenue in the void, like countless pebbles clustered together. Luo Feng already had experience and knew this was a void channel, through which one could reach the next forbidden space. "Whoosh!" Luo Feng landed on a rock on the majestic stone peak, gazing into the distant, endless void, and gasped. "So many experts? A void channel is merely a passage between forbidden spaces, just passing through, so the number of experts should be small. But here, there must be over a hundred thousand Immortal Gods." Countless stone peaks, densely packed, floated in the endless void. On each stone peak, and even in mid-air, large numbers of Immortal Gods from various races were gathered, their numbers astonishing... At this moment, there were already over a hundred thousand! "The Hong Alliance only has a hundred thousand King-level experts," Tianzhen King said softly, standing beside Luo Feng. "And the quality of those hundred thousand King-level experts in the Hong Alliance isn't this high, is it?" Luo Feng added. "Of course not this high," Tianzhen King sighed. "Along the way, more and more experts gathered from each forbidden space. Especially the weaker ones, seeing so many powerhouses, some got cold feet, fearing for their lives, and deliberately separated from us midway, no longer coming." It was easy to abandon the method of the Sealing Star... for example, when the main group exited through a channel, one just had to not follow them, and then leave alone through the next appearing channel. That way, they would naturally 'fall behind'. "Moreover, many incredibly confident super powerhouses, even if they were originally in other dangerous places in the seventh battlefield, would probably rush here upon hearing about the appearance of the Sealing Star." "The super powerhouses within the Star Tower are also doing the same, using God Kingdom teleportation to get as close as possible to the anomaly," Tianzhen King lamented. "This is why among these hundred thousand-plus Immortal Gods from various races, there are so many super powerhouses. Look, the Machine Race 'Fatefall King', our race's 'Seven Swords King', and over there, 'Talong King'... which one isn't famous? They're all gathered here now. With so many experts gathered in this void channel, it's likely that this void channel... is the place where the Sealing Star will appear." "Mm," Luo Feng nodded. Generally, the Sealing Star was seen in a void channel. So, it was highly probable that the Sealing Star would appear within a void channel. "The Sealing Star." "Look, the Sealing Star." "It's appearing." "The Sealing Star is appearing." The originally bustling hundred thousand-plus Immortal Gods from all over the universe suddenly stirred. Almost all the experts looked down, and Tianzhen King and Luo Feng also looked down. In the depths of the endless void below... a swirling current appeared. From the depths of that swirling current, a star slowly rolled and gradually rose.
