Chapter 3: Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower

The earth was vast and wild, with exotic beasts roaring and birds chirping, waves of disturbances spreading out, containing various destructive powers. One could inadvertently lose their life if caught in the disturbances. Even true gods had to tread carefully in the wilderness, fearing they might provoke some terrifying exotic beasts.

Swoosh!

A wave of spatial disturbance swept across the sky, coming from Luo Feng, his servant Morosa, and Moyu Hu. They traversed the void space, charging headlong toward Huyang City.

"There's an eternal true god."

"It's an eternal true god."

From afar, the previously roaring exotic beasts were frightened into diving underwater, while large flocks of flying exotic beasts also kept their distance. Wherever the spatial disturbance passed, there was silence!

No exotic beast dared to make a sound.

"All the exotic beasts have gone quiet," a team of true gods observed the distant wave of spatial disturbance with envy and admiration. "To be so bold in the wilderness, it must be an eternal true god."

"If I could become an eternal true god in this lifetime…" a team member reflected.

"Chan Muhe, you sure dare to dream! My wish is much smaller, just to be able to settle in Huyang City would satisfy me."

"Huyang City? That's a large city. Living there for one era requires a piece of primal chaos crystal. Can you afford that?"

The group of true gods exchanged a few words before continuing on their journey.

...

Luo Feng and his party traversed at high speed.

"Is this the way an eternal true god travels?" Moyu Hu was thrilled by the experience. "In the past, When I left the city, I was always careful, concealing all my presence. This type of unrestrained, exhilarating flight is truly satisfying!"

Luo Feng and Morosa observed the Land of Origin.

Previously, their knowledge had been based on intelligence, but now they were seeing things for themselves, towering billions of miles high, rivers that stretched endlessly, deep and unfathomable lakes, and various kinds of magical exotic beasts. Both Luo Feng and Morosa found everything novel.

The exotic beasts had keen senses. Sensing the disturbances from afar, they hid.

"They are indeed sharp,"

Luo Feng did not bother to hunt these weaker exotic beasts. Firstly, each beast had its unique talents, making them hard to capture. Secondly, the weaker exotic beasts were too low in value to bother with.

"Supreme, ahead is the lair of an eternal true god level exotic beast," Moyu Hu pointed toward the distant area. "That beast is known as the Horned Serpent, which is proficient in burrowing. The armies of Huyang City have tried to encircle and capture it several times without success."

"Horned Serpent?" Luo Feng was intrigued.

Exotic beasts at the eternal true god level were highly valuable!

Having arrived at the Land of Origin penniless and not wanting to sell the rare treasures he carried, he naturally had to find a way to earn resources.

"Just maintain the true god of void space aura, and don't scare off the Horned Serpent," Luo Feng telepathically communicated.

"Yes, Master," Morosa, as a perfect divine body, maintained his disguise flawlessly. Ever since arriving at the Land of Origin, he had maintained the aura of the true god of void space. As a sector beast, discretion was mandatory upon his arrival at the Land of Origin. He just needed enough time and energy to eventually reach his pinnacle.

However, Luo Feng needed sufficient trials to grow.

Luo Feng, Morosa, and Moyu Hu slowed down their flight, started concealing their aura fluctuations, and approached the area near the Horned Serpent's lair.

"Hum~~~"

Deep in the distant mountains, a tremendous golden eye glanced at Luo Feng and his companions, instantly Luo Feng felt a colossal increase in spatial pressure, distorting space itself. Surrounding rocks and vegetation silently turned to dust.

Luo Feng naturally used his divine power to resist this terrifying pressure, also protecting his companions.

"Eternal true god, what are you here for?" the massive Horned Serpent looked toward Luo Feng from deep within the mountains, visibly wary, and transmitted its thoughts from afar.

Phew.

Luo Feng ignored it and headed even faster toward the mountain.

"Dare to follow me and see," transmitted the massive Horned Serpent, then vanished into thin air.

Luo Feng stopped, sensing that the Horned Serpent's aura had burrowed deep into the earth and was still escaping deeper.

"Earth Escape?" Luo Feng frowned. "The elements of time, space, and matter in the Land of Origin are incredibly stable. Even I find it troublesome to burrow through the earth. But that Horned Serpent vanished in an instant. It must possess a source of law related to the earth."

"Master, shall we continue to chase?" Morosa asked.

"No use chasing." Luo Feng shook his head.

He possessed the Source of Life and Death, and Morosa specialized in the Path of Destruction. Both were more adept at direct combat, making them average in 'Earth Escape' abilities.

"These exotic beasts really are incredible. Though they have low intelligence, they naturally possess a source of laws through their bloodlines. Even the top exotic beasts can attain Godly King level strength through their bloodlines alone." Luo Feng marveled internally.

"Master, that Horned Serpent really is cowardly," Morosa remarked.

"It is quite timid," Luo Feng laughed lightly, detecting it from afar and immediately escaping deep into the earth.

"Can't blame them," Luo Feng commented. "These eternal true god level exotic beasts rely on their bloodline talents for such strength, while Myriad Clans' Cultivators master secret techniques and use powerful weapons. They even comprehend the essence of laws. At the same level, eternal true god level exotic beasts generally cannot defeat eternal true gods. Therefore, very few dare to confront an eternal true god head-on."

"But once they dare to confront directly, they are not ordinary eternal true god level exotic beasts," Luo Feng added. "Amongst eternal true god level exotic beasts, occasionally there are some extremely powerful ones."

In their same class, the exceptionally strong exotic beasts generally have more special bloodlines and higher value. Possibly one might be worth as much as a dozen or more ordinary ones. Luo Feng still anticipated encountering such exotic beasts.

"Hunting eternal true god level exotic beasts truly is difficult," Luo Feng shook his head, not wanting to waste more time. "Let's continue on our way."

The places where eternal true god level exotic beasts lived were typically suited to their bloodline talents, making them especially good at escaping.

Sigh.

Luo Feng and his two companions continued their journey toward Huyang City.

...

Deep in the mountains, two teams of true gods of void space were locked in battle.

"We are Team B from Nine Banquet Tower of Huyang City. We are only here to collect ingredients. Please show some mercy," a rock creature pleaded, struggling to defend himself. His team originally had over a hundred members. Now, only three true gods of void space remained, desperately holding their ground.

They had not anticipated that a relatively safe task like gathering ingredients could be so dangerous.

The ten shadows encircling them were relentless, coordinating with each other, aiming to annihilate them swiftly.

"We have no grudges, yet you strike with such severity; we must drag one of you down with us if we die."

"Let's fight!"

The other two members of the true gods of void space had already gone mad. One of them unfolded golden wings, and a terrifying surge of power erupted.

"Your speed is too slow," a deep voice sounded.

Though the three members of Team B from Nine Banquet Tower were initially frenzied, upon hearing this deep voice, they fell silent without uttering a sound. Their bodies naturally disintegrated, souls included, dying instantly. Only their weapons remained.

"Army Commander, it's our fault," the ten grey shadows respectfully said.

"Continue. Kill all creatures that appear in this area," the deep voice ordered.

"Army Commander," the leading shadow couldn't help but speak, "We are ordered to reach Huyang City by a set deadline. Today is the last day."

"Do your job," the deep voice responded.

"Yes."

The leading shadow dared not speak further. The ten shadows silently continued to guard the vast area, slaying any passing creature without exception.

This vast area actually concealed a terrifying power that obscured its core region.

Within the core region, a green plant was growing, topped with a crystalline blue-purple flower! The fragrance of the flower spread, causing the surrounding natural energy to become chaotic.

Next to this plant, a black-robed figure sat, guarding it.

"I never expected that upon leaving Shi Kingdom and taking up my post in Yu Kingdom at Huyang City, I would encounter a mature 'Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower' on the way. When this flower is immature, it appears ordinary and unremarkable. But once it blossoms... its fragrance affects the soul and becomes exceedingly conspicuous. It blooms for about ten days until it naturally falls off, then it can be used in medicine," the black-robed figure said with fervent eyes. "I heard that the Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower can only be nurtured where a Godly King has fought and bled. This flower alone is worth at least 100,000 cosmic sands."

"All the weapon treasures I have cultivated up to now add up to only about twenty thousand cosmic sands," the black-robed figure said with passionate eyes. "If any eternal true god discovers this, they would definitely fight me for it. Even after it's exposed, the forces from Huyang might come here to kill."

"Only a few days are left until it drops naturally," the black-robed figure patiently waited.

He allowed no news of this place to leak out. Although he had done his best to conceal it, he feared any passing creature might notice, so he killed anyone who passed by.

Suddenly—

The black-robed figure slightly furrowed his brow and took out his transmission token.

"What's the matter?" the black-robed figure asked.

"Hei Duomo, why haven't you arrived at Huyang yet?" a voice as resolute as a mountain came through, "According to the Marquis's order, today is the last day. You must reach Huyang City."

"There has been a delay; please forgive me, Chairman Zan Yun," the black-robed figure said lightly with a chuckle. "There shouldn't be anything urgent in Huyang City that requires my immediate attention, right?"

"Huyang City is, after all, Yu Kingdom's Huyang, and our branch in Shi Kingdom has always been short of eternal true gods," the resolute voice softened, "I won't report your delay, but you should still reach Huyang as soon as possible."

"Rest assured, I will arrive within ten days," the black-robed figure responded.

Soon, the transmission ended.

The black-robed figure smiled and put away the transmission token. The so-called military order didn't bind an eternal true god very tightly. They were already core members, and minor issues were typically not pursued too strictly.

"Right now, nothing is more important than this Blue-Purple Blood Crystal Flower," the black-robed figure observed the fully blooming and fragrant blue-purple flower, his eyes filled with obsession.

...

Luo Feng, accompanied by Morosa and Moyu Hu, was traversing the void, flying straight to Huyang City.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng suddenly looked toward a direction, seeing a distant range of mountains where a terrifying force was hidden, with a hint of blue-purple barely visible.

"Could there be a rare treasure?" Luo Feng thought to himself.

There are significant differences among eternal true gods.

Their godly bodies vary in size, the purity of their Divine Power differs, the sources of law they master are distinct, and the secret techniques they practice and Weapon Secret Treasures they possess all affect an eternal true god's strength.

As someone with a Perfect Divine Body, stronger than 'unlimited godly bodies,' Luo Feng would reveal a vast and immense true form. Naturally, his sensory range was far beyond that of an ordinary eternal true god.

His sensory range and sensitivity were astonishing. His perception and control of aura could even reach 'perfect' levels. Even some ancient beings might need to utilize causality and space-time methods just to glimpse some truths about Luo Feng.

"There must be an eternal true god hidden there, masking the aura of the treasure," Luo Feng's eyes lit up. "Heavenly treasures, born from the earth, belong to no one. He who is capable shall possess them!"

While thinking, Luo Feng tactfully received Moyu Hu into the Star Tower.
