Chapter 56: General Yong and Divine Lord Xue Yun

“Divine Lord Luo He, please continue to guard the forbidden area. The forces from Shiguo might return for a sneak attack at any time,” Magili Xiao responded. “Currently, there are several factions from Shiguo attacking within Huyang City. Once the city calms down, you will have fulfilled your employment.”

“Understood,” Luo Feng replied.

He understood that, on one hand, the City Lord’s Mansion had detailed arrangements, and the guarding forces were strong enough not to need his help. On the other hand, as an employed guard, the City Lord’s Mansion’s trust in him was limited.

“I wanted to spar with more experts, but it’s a pity,” Luo Feng took a step back to the gate of the forbidden area’s building to stand guard, reflecting on the previous battle.

Yutian Yi’s divine power was far inferior to his, and the ‘Ice Power’ she displayed with her mechanical treasure was also weaker than his Perfect Divine Body.

“Her blade technique…” Luo Feng recalled, “Its influence on space is very deep, different from the influence of the Myriad Realms Escape Order on space.”

Luo Feng contemplated and understood.

The path to comprehending the ‘Chaos Law’ was not easy. Luo Feng, who had only been an Eternal True God for more than twenty eras, was far behind Yutian Yi, Yutian Hu, and Xue Yun in terms of accumulated experience.

Luo Feng would gain experience from his opponents, allowing himself to grow faster.

“We have won in this forbidden area! The other two forbidden areas are still fighting.” The Jinyu Legion, the Three-Sword Sky-Splitting Beast, and the Blade Wing Devouring Insect were also communicating, feeling quite relieved.

“Fortunately, we have Divine Lord Luo He. Otherwise, with just us, we might have needed to call for help.”

“Divine Lord Luo He indeed keeps his promises, and he even killed several Eternal True Gods of Shiguo!”

“That Eternal True God who harnessed thunder, he must have had a mechanical treasure, also fell into Divine Lord Luo He’s hands.”

“Making one or two million cosmos sand is really effortless for Divine Lord Luo He.”

They communicated through voice transmission, full of envy.

Although the City Lord’s Mansion believed that Divine Lord Luo He was highly unlikely to betray them, they still had a contingency plan! If Divine Lord Luo He did betray, the City Lord’s Mansion would immediately mobilize support.

“Boom!” “Boom!”

In the night sky, two towering figures clashed in a fierce battle.

On one side was Magili Xiao, driving the legion’s mechanical treasure ‘Six-Armed Divine Owl’. On the other side was Yutian Hu’s towering true form, wielding a long staff and burning divine power.

The collision between them was so powerful that it seemed to make the heavens and earth tremble.

“This Yutian Hu is truly the foremost of the five Yutian Gods! His divine body has been cultivated to an extraordinary level, almost comparable to the Infinite Divine Body,” Magili Xiao was quite shocked. “Even with the legion under my command and the assistance of Huyang City’s formations, I can only barely injure him!”

Yutian Hu didn’t defend at all, attacking fiercely with every move, like a cataclysmic collision of the heavens and earth! Any minor injuries he sustained would instantly heal with his divine body.

Magili Xiao was quite troubled for a moment.

“Divine Lord Xue Yun could only leverage his superior realm against me, not threatening my divine body at all.” Yutian Hu was very confident, possessing what could be considered the most terrifying divine body among the Eternal True Gods. His divine power burning technique was also cultivated to a very high level, and when fully unleashed, Yutian Hu was fearless.

“Yutian Hu, retreat,” Divine Lord Xue Yun suddenly transmitted.

“Retreat?” Yutian Hu was puzzled and replied via transmission, “Why retreat?”

“Yutian Yi has failed, and I’ve encountered General Yong Hu of the Yuguo royal capital. I also have to escape. If you don’t retreat… you might be surrounded and attacked, so retreat quickly,” Divine Lord Xue Yun responded.

Although Divine Lord Xue Yun served the Flowing Yin Marquis of Shiguo, he had never truly risked his life in Huyang City! He would only display half his strength at most, which was enough to deter Huyang City and demand a lot of resources from the Flowing Yin Marquis.

“In the struggle between the two countries, their backing forces are endless. The more I expose, the heavier the responsibilities I will bear, and the stronger the opponents I will encounter. I might die someday.”

“Concealing some strength allows me to live longer! My goal is not to fight for Shiguo but to obtain resources to break through to the Chaos Realm.” Divine Lord Xue Yun was very clear about his intentions.

On the Origin Continent, most large cities had a few extremely strong Eternal True Gods! But Divine Lord Xue Yun didn’t regard them highly; his realm had long reached unfathomable depths.

Even Yutian Hu and Yutian Yi believed… he should have one foot into the Chaos Realm.

“I cultivate both bloodline and law, and I have comprehended nine Chaos Realm moves. Among all the Eternal True Gods in Shiguo, there might not be one with a higher realm than mine. But even so, I still haven’t broken through,” Divine Lord Xue Yun looked at the terrifying existence before him. “This time in Huyang City, I finally encountered someone with strength equal to mine.”

The three forbidden areas were guarded by Luo Feng, Magili Xiao, and an elderly man with white hair.

General Yong Hu was a hidden force, and after the three forbidden areas were attacked, he chose to assault Divine Lord Xue Yun, as his outburst of strength had become somewhat terrifying, threatening the forbidden area.

“Today you won’t escape!” General Yong Hu’s killing intent surged.

He cultivated the Infinite Divine Body and was an exceptionally talented Eternal True God in the entire Yuguo, heavily valued by the Divine King! He had also learned many Divine King techniques, reaching a high level of realm comprehension, and had also comprehended Chaos Realm moves.

With his Infinite Divine Body, Divine King inheritance, realm, will, and weapon treasures, General Yong had no weaknesses.

“Xue Yun’s divine body is inferior to mine,” General Yong’s killing intent was intense, “But his realm’s accumulation surpasses mine, and his techniques are unpredictable. Fortunately, with the help of Huyang City’s formations, today I have a chance to kill him.”

Without the city’s formations, General Yong wouldn’t have been able to deal with him.

“General Yong, you are merely taking advantage of the formation,” Divine Lord Xue Yun smiled lightly and suddenly transformed into a rolling blood wave, instantly sweeping across the vast surrounding area.

Luo Feng could also transform into a blood river with the mechanical treasure ‘Life Blood River’.

However, Divine Lord Xue Yun combined several Chaos Realm techniques to transform his divine body entirely into an endless blood wave. The subtlety of his technique surpassed Luo Feng’s pure use of the mechanical treasure.

“Hmm?” General Yong was startled.

“Suppress!”

General Yong stood at the original spot, quite unwilling.

“General Yong,” the white-haired elder approached.

“Sacrificing hundreds of billions, even up to a trillion lives, just to kill an Eternal True God of Shiguo, is simply not worth it,” General Yong shook his head. “If he truly massacred so many, not only I, but even the Five Great Families, would be held accountable!”

“How is this Divine Lord Xue Yun so strong?” The white-haired elder was incredulous. “For so many years, he has never shown such strength.”

The two sides had fought for countless years, and Divine Lord Xue Yun’s side was even at a disadvantage.

“Without the great formation of Huyang City, I couldn’t do anything to him.” General Yong was indeed somewhat affected. What kind of prestige did he have? Moreover, he was nurtured by the Divine King! This Divine Lord Xue Yun had no reputation, yet his accumulation in realm surpassed his own.

General Yong sighed inwardly.

Status did not equate to strength.

Even some idle practitioners could reach extremely high realms, and might even give birth to a Chaos Overlord.

“Never underestimate any opponent.” General Yong glanced around.

The residential area of the true gods in Huyang City was divided into sections, but even so, the range of the endless blood waves was too vast. A few exchanges had slaughtered tens of billions of lives.

“About eighty billion lives were estimated to have perished at the hands of Xue Yun,” the white-haired elder looked grim. “Such a great loss must be reported to Lord Hou and the capital.”

“We did our best.” General Yong turned and left.

Although the battles at the Chaos Overlord level could, with just a casual opening of the mouth, swallow an entire large city, annihilating all its inhabitants completely, the conflict at the Eternal True God level, considering the extensive destruction and slaughter in many parts of Huyang City tonight, resulting in nearly a hundred billion deaths, still gave the City Lord’s mansion a severe headache. Such public slaughter couldn’t be concealed.

In front of the forbidden area’s palace gate, Luo Feng sat cross-legged. Morosa and Moyu Qingyan were also guarding beside him.

“Luo He, your task is complete,” Magili Xiao transmitted to Luo Feng. “The forces of Shiguo have completely retreated; they won’t act rashly again.”

With General Yong’s appearance, the forces of Shiguo naturally feared.

This time, Divine Lord Xue Yun also relied on slaughtering countless lives to threaten and forced General Yong to stop.

“Good.” Luo Feng stood up and transmitted a message, “How’s the situation this time?”

“Not good, many citizens of the city have died.” Magili Xiao responded, “The detailed situation will soon spread.”

Magili Xiao was well aware of how well-informed the various forces in Huyang City were. Such a big event could not be concealed, especially since Yan Feng Pavilion was extremely adept at gathering intelligence, often better than the City Lord’s mansion.

Luo Feng glanced at Morosa and Moyu Qingyan, “We can go back now.”

“Divine Lord Luo He, we are very grateful for your assistance this time,” General Jin Xiao and two commanders of the Huyang Guards came to see him off.

“Just a small matter.” Luo Feng nodded and then left with Morosa and Moyu Qingyan aboard the flying boat.

General Jin Xiao and the two commanders of the Huyang Guards watched the scene.

“Our losses here are negligible, but the other two forbidden areas suffered significant losses,” General Jin Xiao said. “Especially Divine Lord Xue Yun, this time he slaughtered too many lives.”

“If we had immediately sent Divine Lord Luo He to support the other forbidden areas after defeating Yutian Yi, the result might have been different,” Gao Wushui said.

“That’s not something we can decide,” the other commander of the Huyang Guards shook his head.

The matters of Huyang City were decided by the core members of the City Lord’s mansion.

They only followed orders.

******

Luo Feng was flying back with Morosa and Moyu Qingyan aboard the flying boat.

“Luo He, something big happened this time,” Zhu You transmitted to Luo Feng. “General Yong Hu from the capital of Yuguo appeared in the city, and he personally killed Divine Lord Xue Yun. Divine Lord Xue Yun unleashed a power far beyond before, slaughtering over eighty billion lives, forcing General Yong Hu to stop.”

“What happened?” Luo Feng slightly frowned.

From Master Zuo Shan Ke and the intelligence of the Undying River lineage, he already knew the cruelty of Origin Continent. Not to mention the battles between Chaos Overlords and Divine Kings, even some extremely powerful Eternal True Gods’ battles could still affect a massive number of lives.

“I’ll send you the detailed information.” Zhu You immediately sent a complete report, “This is the latest intelligence gathered by Yan Feng Pavilion, very detailed.”

Luo Feng immediately checked the detailed information. Before this, he didn’t know that General Yong Hu was in the city, and in more than twenty eras, he had never found Divine Lord Xue Yun.
