Chapter 32: The Foreign Powerhouse

Yu Kingdom, within the Yun Mao Primal Chaos State.

In the depths of an ancient mountain range, a tribe lived and thrived. The gathering place, however, was silent at the moment, as tens of thousands of creatures from the tribe lay without sound or movement.

Suddenly—

An essence flew out from the bodies of these tens of thousands of creatures. Their combined essences formed a figure clad in a gray robe, whose face was obscured by the garment.

"The minds of the tens of thousands of creatures in this tribe are too weak. My bloodline has devoured their mental consciousness, and they didn't even react," the figure in the gray robe shook his head lightly, "Devouring billions of such weak True Gods would barely benefit me at all."

"I need some precious resources. If I could absorb the essence blood of Primal Chaos Level Exotic Beasts, the help would be far greater," the figure in the gray robe mused.

"To strive toward becoming a Primal Chaos Overlord through the path of bloodline cultivation, how difficult it is."

Bloodline cultivation is easy at the beginning, but as one progresses, the need for resources increases dramatically. In the entire Land of Origin, the limit for bloodline cultivation is the 'Primal Chaos Lord Realm.' To break through to Primal Chaos Overlord, naturally, there are many barriers to overcome.

"Hmm?" The figure in the gray robe took out a Karmic Messenger Order with a flip of his hand. He wasn't worried about being locked by karma, for the high and mighty Primal Chaos Overlords hardly noticed him. As for the eternal true gods?

In his view, the eternal true gods were his prey!

"Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos Prefecture's Huyang City, Luo He? He killed a leader of a dark force within Huyang City, 'Association Leader Mu Yang of the Blood Python,' and possesses at least two Mechanical Flow treasures worth more than 6.5 million Cosmic Sand?" A flicker of interest crossed the figure in the gray robe's mind.

"When it comes to sneak attacks and assassinations, there are few eternal true gods that can survive my hands." The figure in the gray robe was very confident.

He had traversed many Primal Chaos Prefectures and was rich in experience from clashing with the powerful.

"A trip to Huyang City it is then. Once I arrive, I'll head to the Flame Wind Pavilion to gather detailed information about this Luo He, and then plan the ambush," the figure in the gray robe said as he moved and completely merged with heaven and earth, vanishing without a trace.

He was hurtling through the Void at a terrifying speed, heading straight for 'Huyang City' in the Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos Prefecture.

As for the area where he was originally located, the tens of thousands of creatures that lay motionless, their bodies had completely disintegrated.

The reason so many tribal people were eager to live in large cities was exactly because of the unpredictability of the wilderness. They could face disaster at any moment.

A terrifying Exotic Beast passing by could swallow an entire tribe in one bite.

An eternal true god passing by could, for the sake of cultivation, wealth, or simply to vent, easily destroy a tribe with a flick of their hand.

Only by living within the city walls could they have stable lives.

Huyang City.

"Brother Shang, do you have time? I'm treating you at the Fire Realm Restaurant," Luo Feng contacted Shang Tianyan.

"Brother Luo He is treating? In the whole Huyang City, countless eternal true gods couldn't even beg for such an opportunity, of course I have time! I can set off right now!" Shang Tianyan replied.

"Haha, great, see you at the Fire Realm Restaurant later," Luo Feng liked Shang Tianyan's forthright nature.

After making the arrangements, Luo Feng immediately set off with Morosa and Moyu Qingyan.

Inside a Flying Boat.

Morosa spoke from the side, "Master, Shang Tianyan is just an ordinary eternal true god. Why are you giving him so much face?"

In Morosa's view, his master, Luo Feng, who could enslave Sector Beasts and himself had a Perfect Divine Body, was a genius among geniuses. Ordinary eternal true gods didn't deserve too much of his master's attention.

"Making friends is not only about the strength," Luo Feng said.

"Is that so?" Morosa didn't quite understand. In his eyes, those ordinary eternal true gods were only fit to be food.

"Moreover, my interactions with Brother Shang are actually more of me seeking his help," Luo Feng said, "I often ask him about artifact refining skills, and he has always given me guidance without reservation."

Morosa said, "When you ask for his help, Master, that is his great fortune."

Meanwhile, Moyu Qingyan listened quietly, not daring to interject.

Sometimes he wondered; his master was indeed very powerful, yet as a servant, the true god of void space, Lord Luo Sa, spoke quite casually.

"Master is too kind, that's why he tolerates such disrespect from Lord Luo Sa," Moyu Qingyan thought to himself, as he dared not show any disrespect either.

"Qingyan," Luo Feng called out.

"Master," Moyu Qingyan replied with utmost respect.

"I hear from Moli Meng that your father, 'Moyu Hu,' has taken a position in the city owner's mansion?" Luo Feng asked.

Moyu Qingyan responded, "My father also instructed me to thank the Master once you emerged from seclusion. I was looking for an opportunity to speak of this as well."

"Thank me? Moyu Hu is quite polite," Luo Feng nodded.

"My father has always been focused on the well-being of my three brothers and me. I was fortunate to follow the Master," Moyu Qingyan said, "He also tried his best to send my elder brother to the Zhu Clan and my youngest brother to the Heavenly Flame Sect."

"Afterwards, following your killing of the Blood Python Leader, my father was recruited to the city owner's mansion, and my elder brother's position rose within the Zhu Clan; he was even taken as a disciple by an eternal true god, 'Zhu You,'" Moyu Qingyan explained.

Luo Feng was surprised, "The eternal true god 'Zhu You' from the Zhu Clan has taken your elder brother as his disciple?"

"Yes," Moyu Qingyan nodded. "My father said that both the city owner's mansion and the Zhu Clan probably want to make connections with my master. But within Huyang City, there are very few who have a relationship with my master. That's why they bestowed favor upon my father, and my brother."

Luo Feng chuckled.

Indeed, he only had two servants, one Morosa, one Moyu Qingyan.

Other powers could only start from the Moyu Family, which indeed changed the family's fortunes significantly.

"How about your third brother?" Luo Feng asked.

"My third brother is still in the Heavenly Flame Sect, learning the basic skills," Moyu Qingyan said. "The artifact refining skills within the Heavenly Flame Sect are strict and must be learned step by step from the basics."

Luo Feng nodded, "Your father is quite the strategist, the Heavenly Flame Sect has a good reputation, and their sect leader Shang Tianyan is also a good friend of mine. The Zhu Clan is even the number one local family in Huyang City. He sent one child to the Heavenly Flame Sect and the other into the Zhu Clan, with much thought and effort."

The five great families of the city owner's mansion are not native families.

They are either branches of Godly King families or branches of Primal Chaos Overlord families.

The most powerful of the true local families rooted in Huyang City, grown over time, is the Zhu Clan. The Zhu Clan conducts their business seriously and doesn't get involved with dark forces, yet their power is extremely strong.

Within Huyang City, only a few can kill the Blood Python Leader. And the chief of the Zhu Clan, 'Zhu Hu', is one of them!

In terms of strength, none of the five great families dare say they are stronger than the Zhu Clan. Of course, in terms of background, the five great families have overwhelming support and can call upon terrifying entities at any time.

"My father has indeed tried every possible way for us three brothers. But my father being able to enter the city owner's mansion, and my elder brother being taken in by an eternal true god, it's all thanks to the master," Moyu Qingyan said gratefully.

"If you want to thank me, then master the Ten Fundamental Laws as soon as possible," Luo Feng said.

"Yes." Moyu Qingyan was very clear that he had encountered an incredible opportunity, but only if he could seize it!

Mastering the Ten Fundamental Laws was the first test of becoming a disciple. He invested over ninety percent of his time every day in contemplating the laws, daring not to slack in the slightest. He even thought of ways to coax 'Lord Luo Sa', seeking guidance from him.

...

Fire Realm Restaurant.

"Supreme!" Black Butcher was extremely excited and came out to meet him ahead of time. Over time, the news that Luo He had killed the Blood Python Leader had gradually spread from the upper echelons of Huyang City to the middle levels.

Black Butcher, who ran a restaurant, came and went and was quite well-informed, having heard the news.

Moreover, with the Blood Python Association headquarters turned to ruins, those businesses that had to pay 'tribute fees' were already discussing it.

"Hahaha..." Luo Feng looked at Black Butcher's excited demeanor and joked, "Black Butcher, has the Blood Python Association exempted your tribute fee?"

"With the Blood Python Association gone, of course there's no such thing as a tribute fee anymore," Black Butcher said gratefully. "And the other two dark forces contesting the Blood Python's territory have both come to me, saying they will excuse my Fire Realm Restaurant from tribute fees in the future."

"The two dark forces contesting the Blood Python Association's territory? Which two are they?" Luo Feng asked curiously.

"One is the Thousand Mountain Tower, the other is the Six Lords Alliance. But they've both been very friendly to my Fire Realm Restaurant," Black Butcher said gratefully. "I know all this is because of you, Supreme."

Luo Feng smiled lightly, "They do seem to know what's good for them."

"They are afraid that if they collect tribute fees, you'll go and annihilate them," Shang Tianyan commented as he came out of a distant building. "Brother Luo He, you are slower to treat than I am, huh?"

"I've come as quickly as I can," Luo Feng said with a smile as he approached, "Black Butcher, quickly prepare some food and drinks, put some extra effort into it."

"I'll do my utmost," Black Butcher said, full of enthusiasm.

Luo Feng and Shang Tianyan then entered the building together.

"You must feel that many forces in Huyang City are orbiting around you," Shang Tianyan said with a smile. "Huyang City may seem crowded with strong individuals, but in the end, it's the strongest existences that decide everything. And now, you've also become a member who influences the order, most importantly, you are unattached with no family! Naturally, many forces want to win you over, willing to pay a high price."

"Want to win me over? The usual price is not enough to catch my eye," Luo Feng poured wine for Shang Tianyan himself, "Come, let's drink."

"Brother Luo He pouring wine himself, not many are privileged enough to taste it," Shang Tianyan said delightedly as he picked up his cup.

After a drink, Shang Tianyan looked outside in surprise.

At that moment, Moyu Qingyan was naturally standing guard outside the building, while Morosa was sitting on a large rock not far away, sipping from a wine jug and simultaneously ordering some food from the Fire Realm Restaurant.

"Your servant seems quite at ease," Shang Tianyan said.

"When I was still a true god, he followed me. He may be a servant, but he's like a brother," Luo Feng said. "By the way, I invited you today because I've encountered some difficulties with body refinement."

"Body refinement is just a branch of artifact refining, tell me any troubles you have," Shang Tianyan said, brimming with confidence when it came to artifact refining.

One asked, the other answered.

Luo Feng inquired about some perplexing points in the "Primal Chaos Great Strength Diagram" regarding the second phase of body refinement, and Shang Tianyan easily clarified these perplexities from different angles, enlightening Luo Feng.
