Assassination: Luo Feng Dies!

Jueguang Venerable heard the urgent shouts of his intelligent servant beside him and immediately opened his eyes. With a glance, he saw Luo Feng had just stepped across the threshold. “Human! Daohe King!” A fierce glint flashed in Jueguang Venerable’s eyes, and his killing intent instantly reached its peak. He had waited 900 years, precisely for this moment— “To sacrifice a dignified Universe Venerable like me, just for a mere Sector Lord like you, you should be proud. Daohe King!” Jueguang Venerable instantly vanished. ... Inheritors from factions like the Northern Territory Alliance, Prison Clan Alliance, and Nine Domains Alliance, who had received high-level orders to gather information, were also in their respective mansions, staring intently at the Daohe King’s mansion. The high-level orders were very clear: the Monster Race, Mechanical Race, and Insect Race would definitely send assassins to deal with the human Daohe King. “Will Daohe King die, or will the Mechanical Race and the other two races suffer a great loss?” “What methods will they use to kill Daohe King?” The tens of thousands of inheritors secretly watching the battle all held their breath. ... As Luo Feng smiled and walked out of his mansion’s main gate, he casually waved his sleeve, and the door slammed shut. Without any warning, a colossal figure appeared before Luo Feng. It was a strange beast whose entire body seemed caked in mud. Its usually dull, grey eyes now erupted with terrifying killing intent. Boom! The strange beast lunged directly at Luo Feng without hesitation, moving with extreme speed. Simultaneously, its body instantly unleashed an aura that made the surrounding world tremble, an aura that surged a thousandfold in an instant. Its divine body was already burning! “Hmm?” The moment Jueguang Venerable appeared via teleportation, he spotted the strange beast that looked as if it were covered in mud. He was slightly taken aback. “Swamp Corroder Venerable?” But his reaction was extremely swift; he immediately retreated a step, already having teleported thousands of kilometers away. “That Swamp Corroder Venerable actually wants to assassinate Daohe King too?” Jueguang Venerable was secretly alarmed. “I’ll observe for now. I merely teleported near Daohe King just now, a simple teleportation. I didn’t attack at all. The Five-Colored Aurora Lake won’t deem that I intended to kill Luo Feng. I’ll see how this unfolds.” ... The moment Luo Feng closed his mansion’s gate, he was instantly attacked by Swamp Corroder Venerable, who was burning his divine body. “Sha Wu Wings!” Luo Feng suddenly unfurled his wings. Though he previously had no wings on his back, they instantly materialized out of thin air, and he immediately prepared to dodge. “Boom!” A surge of ethereal divine power instantly pierced into Luo Feng’s mind. With his divine power burning, this ethereal divine power sought to forcibly control Luo Feng. “Want to control me as a slave? Dream on!” Luo Feng’s will was unyielding. Under the invasion of the ethereal divine power, it couldn’t tempt Luo Feng’s soul in the slightest, forcing it to resort to brute force. Buzz! The Pagoda Pearl, residing within his soul transformed into a beast god, merely vibrated slightly, blocking the ethereal divine power’s invasion. Swamp Corroder Venerable, who was already before Luo Feng, had a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He seemed very surprised that he hadn’t managed to control this human Daohe King. He was a Universe Venerable, yet even burning his divine power hadn’t allowed him to successfully control him. “Boom!” The Five-Colored Aurora Lake above Purple Thorn Island, which had always been serene, suddenly vibrated violently. Simultaneously, streaks of aurora rapidly plunged downwards. However, Swamp Corroder Venerable was already burning his divine body before Luo Feng. How could his speed be anything but extreme? He didn’t even spare a glance for the terrifying five-colored auroras. “Die,” Swamp Corroder Venerable opened his mouth. Splash! A massive tongue, its surface covered in mud and water droplets, unfurled like a curtain of heaven and earth, directly enveloping Luo Feng. This was a move from his innate secret technique; his tongue possessed incredibly terrifying corrosive power. Even the divine bodies of Universe Venerables at the same level couldn’t withstand its corrosion. Luo Feng’s Sha Wu Wings were fast, but how could they compare to the attack speed of a Universe Venerable who was burning his divine body? Like a frog flicking its tongue, it was as fast as lightning. Swamp Corroder Venerable extended his massive tongue, and the moment Luo Feng moved, he was already ensnared. “Hmph.” The instant Luo Feng was about to be ensnared, he cast a cold glance at Swamp Corroder Venerable. Swamp Corroder Venerable paid him no mind. The moment the massive tongue enveloped Luo Feng, its terrifying corrosive power acted upon the ‘Sha Wu Wings’, yet it couldn’t corrode them in the slightest. Instead, Luo Feng’s armor was instantly corroded with holes. Furthermore, beyond corrosion, the tongue struck like a club made of wet cloth. The tongue, like a curtain, lashed down fiercely. The corrosive power hadn’t yet killed Luo Feng, but the impact force from the lashing tongue was terrifying. It was the might of a Universe Venerable after burning his divine power. “Boom!” No matter how strong his defense, Luo Feng was instantly shattered into complete annihilation. His physical body was utterly pulverized into nothingness by this terrifying impact force, leaving behind only his shattered general’s armor, intact wings, Pagoda Pearl, Star Chart, a drop of General Soul Water, and a sturdy World Ring, among a few other items... “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” The five-colored auroras rapidly descended. They were like streaks of flowing light, like arrows, completely locking down the surrounding space. Swamp Corroder Venerable didn’t even have time to teleport away. This was within the control range of the Seven-Colored Aurora Lake. “Hahahaha...” Swamp Corroder Venerable threw his head back and let out a mad roar, his eyes fixed on the descending streaks of five-colored auroras. To die beneath the Ancestral God Sect’s protective supreme treasure was not a shameful death. The auroras were originally over ten thousand kilometers long, but as they descended, they continuously shrank, eventually becoming as thick as arrows. Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Numerous auroras instantly pierced through Swamp Corroder Venerable’s divine body, like ten thousand arrows piercing a target. Swamp Corroder Venerable’s divine body vanished mostly in an instant, like foam. Then, in the blink of an eye, even the tiny remaining bit of his divine body was completely annihilated. The five-colored auroras, however, flew back into the high sky... ...flying back into the high sky, joining the countless other auroras. Everything returned to calm. The five-colored auroras above Purple Thorn Island continued to fly peacefully. At the entrance of Luo Feng’s mansion on Purple Thorn Island, even the previously damaged ground instantly recovered, completely unharmed. It was just like how the snowy ground in an ice prison could continuously regenerate. “Dead.” Jueguang Venerable watched this scene from afar. The power of the five-colored auroras was too terrifying; just that single string of auroras instantly annihilated a Universe Venerable who had been burning his divine body! The Five-Colored Aurora Lake, as a complete supreme treasure, possessed auroras that were almost endless. It was hailed as one of the universe’s most powerful supreme treasures, and furthermore, the Ancestral God Sect’s protective supreme treasure. The might of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake was indeed terrifying beyond compare. Jueguang Venerable felt relief, dread, and regret, a complex mix of emotions. “Regardless, Daohe King is dead. I’ll report it to the Insect Race,” Jueguang Venerable murmured. ... “Daohe King is actually dead.” “He just died like that?” “Completely annihilated into nothingness, deader than dead.” The inheritors watching this scene from afar were all stunned. Immediately after, each of them began transmitting the news to their respective factions. ... In the starry sky, within a space-time enveloped by endless flames of power, the Sirius Master of Sirius Hall received the news almost simultaneously. “Haha, Swamp Corroder Venerable actually killed Daohe King.” “Hahahaha, he’s dead, that detestable little fellow is dead. I wonder if Swamp Corroder Venerable managed to soul-control Daohe King before he died.” “Regardless of whether he was soul-controlled or not, the objective has been achieved. Hahaha, didn’t Chaos City Lord protect that human? What a pity, in the core region of the Ancestral God Sect, even if he is Chaos City Lord, he wouldn’t dare trespass into the Ancestral God Sect’s sacred grounds, would he?” The Sirius Master stood before Sirius Hall, throwing his head back and letting out a roar that made that entire space-time tremble. He was immensely pleased. He felt the thrill of destroying a peerless human genius, and also the thrill of retaliating against Chaos City Lord. ... On Purple Thorn Island, countless figures soared into the sky. Almost all the inheritors from various cosmic races emerged from their mansions. How terrifying were the energy fluctuations generated when Swamp Corroder Venerable burned his divine power just now? The Five-Colored Aurora Lake descended streaks of aurora, making even space tremble. Everyone realized something was amiss. “What happened?” Seven Swords King almost simultaneously sensed the terrifying fluctuations of a Universe Venerable burning his divine power, and immediately tore through the air. He then instantly teleported to a spot not far from Luo Feng’s mansion. At this point, Swamp Corroder Venerable’s tongue had already lashed out and enveloped Luo Feng, so Seven Swords King didn’t see Luo Feng. He had witnessed with his own eyes the streaks of aurora descending, causing Swamp Corroder Venerable’s demise. “Who did Swamp Corroder Venerable kill? To actually provoke the Five-Colored Aurora Lake to descend,” Seven Swords King wondered, feeling puzzled. “Seven Swords King.” “Seven Swords King.” Chaman King, Lishuo King, and Thousand Rain King all appeared beside him via teleportation. “Who died? Who did the five-colored auroras kill?” The three of them were a step slower than Seven Swords King, not even witnessing Swamp Corroder Venerable’s demise. “It was Swamp Corroder Venerable, I don’t know who he killed—Ah!” Seven Swords King’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at the residual items before the mansion’s gate. These were items left behind by both Swamp Corroder Venerable and Luo Feng. Swamp Corroder Venerable, knowing his impending death, had already placed his valuable treasures elsewhere. Luo Feng, however, had left behind quite a few treasures. Undoubtedly, the most dazzling item was the massive silver wings! One must know that Daohe King was most famous for his wings, and it had long been rumored that Daohe King’s wings were a supreme treasure. “Wings!” “It’s Daohe King!!!” Seven Swords King was somewhat bewildered. He had secretly regarded Daohe King as a target to surpass, never expecting Daohe King to actually— “Daohe King is dead.” “Daohe King was killed by Swamp Corroder Venerable.” From other distant locations came the excited chatter of various alien races. That peerless genius, a Sector Lord whose name was renowned throughout the universe, that unparalleled human who had just entered the Land of Inheritance and fought over 620,000 battles, earning immense glory points that made countless inheritors envious—he just died like that? The shock this brought to countless alien inheritors was immense. “Those are the wings left behind after Daohe King’s death.” “Supreme treasure wings.” “Those wings are a supreme treasure.” Many alien inheritors who had just learned of Daohe King’s demise were still bewildered, but then they heard countless exclamations. Even many Universe Venerables watching from afar were staring intently at the items laid out before Luo Feng’s mansion’s gate, especially that massive silver wing. The allure of a supreme treasure was incredibly terrifying.
