Chapter 708: You Can Leave If You Want, But Keep the Loot

As soon as the thousand-zhang-tall dual-element giant appeared, it launched a fierce barrage at Li Qingyuan. Its palms were each a hundred zhang long, and with each strike, the ground shook violently. Even though they merely struck the void, the space around them collapsed completely. In just a moment, not a single area remained intact.

Within the collapsed space, huge voids appeared, behind which terrifying storms roared. From those voids, powerful air currents would occasionally burst forth, along with immense gravitational forces, forcing the onlookers to retreat in fear.

Ye Feng and the others knew these were spatial turbulence. Once caught in them, even the strongest beings from higher realms would find it difficult to escape.

Li Qingyuan carefully dodged, knowing that the giant’s massive size made it immune to such forces, but he himself couldn’t afford to be drawn in. A single mistake could mean he would never return, even if he survived.

Behind the giant, Ye Feng summoned his secret-pattern puppet—the black dragon. Instead of sending it into battle right away, he stood still, tracing various intricate secret patterns.

It took him nearly a cup of tea’s time to complete eighty thousand secret patterns, with over thirty thousand of them actually traced. The onlookers were baffled, unable to imagine what technique required so many patterns to activate.

However, as they watched the black dragon slowly open its mouth, with multicolored lights swirling within, they sensed that this attack could destroy heaven and earth.

At that moment, the black dragon shrank and climbed onto the giant’s shoulder. Ye Feng followed, forming blades with his hands and slashing through the air with several high-level divine techniques that combined water, earth, and wind elements at level 27.

“What’s he trying to do? That giant used a level-18 dual-element technique to slow my movement, and now Ye Feng is using a level-27 technique to attack. That little snake…” When he saw the black snake, Li Qingyuan’s pupils widened in shock. “Multicolored lights… Could it be…”

A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately gave up fighting with Ye Feng, fleeing frantically. Shortly after he escaped, a beam of black light burst out from the little snake’s mouth. Its speed was so great that it pierced through space and swept over Li Qingyuan’s body. Yet he managed to twist his body and avoid the vital areas.

Only after the black light passed did everyone see Li Qingyuan’s terrible condition. Although he had avoided the vital parts, the black light still grazed his right shoulder, causing his entire right arm to disappear. Even his right lung and ribs were reduced to less than half. People could easily see his heart beating on the other side from the side. Further up, his white neck bones were clearly visible. If it were a little higher, half of his head might have been blown off.

Despite such severe injuries, Li Qingyuan still wasn’t dead. He slowly stood up, as the right side of his body began to heal gradually.

However, a few coughs and blood dripping from his mouth showed that he had been severely damaged. Although his physical wounds could be repaired with some energy, the black light had clearly also harmed his soul.

Although the black dragon had taken the form of a little snake, the power of its attacks from its mouth hadn’t diminished at all. Seeing that its opponent wasn’t dead, it automatically began to gather a new attack without Ye Feng’s guidance. Every attack taught by Ye Feng could be memorized, allowing it to use them without Ye Feng’s prompting the next time.

Seeing their leader suffer such severe injuries, the two fighting Luo Yan and Jin Wen also lost interest in continuing the battle. Enduring several attacks from them at the cost of their own injuries, they withdrew from the fight, lifted Li Qingyuan up, and fled at full speed.

At that moment, the attack from the black dragon’s mouth had also been formed and was about to be launched, but it was stopped by Ye Feng. He shouted at the three of them, “You can leave if you want, but leave our loot behind.”

The three of them hesitated for a moment, then threw three storage rings before disappearing from sight.

Taking the three rings and watching the three of them flee quickly, Ye Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. “I originally planned to leave those three to you, Luo Yan, to turn them into blood zombies. After all, they are strong beings at the small universe level, and turning them into blood zombies would be a huge help. But since their brothers also attacked us out of desperation, never mind. It’s fine as long as we get the loot.”

“Master, those three are a whole level above me in cultivation. I have no way of turning them into blood zombies. Only if I can also gather a small universe within my body can I do that.” Luo Yan shook his head as well. “A small difference in cultivation level isn’t a problem, but it’s impossible in their case. If we let those three go, then let them go. But I want him.”

As he spoke, Luo Yan pointed at Shangguan Ming.

“Alive?” Ye Feng raised his eyebrows slightly. From what he knew before, blood zombies were created from corpses. So he found Luo Yan’s request somewhat strange.

“Mm, but not to create a blood zombie—instead, to create descendants,” Luo Yan nodded.

“Won’t the descendants rebel?” Ye Feng vaguely remembered Luo Yan saying that blood zombies couldn’t rebel against their creators, but descendants could.

“Descendants rebel when their cultivation level evolves beyond that of their creator. Even if their cultivation levels are the same, they must still obey their creator,” Luo Yan said, shaking his head. “I am already a Xuanmu Emperor Corpse. He can at most evolve to that level and cannot rebel against me. Unlike blood zombies, descendants can retain their original bloodline powers intact. His ancestors have evolved to extremely high realms, and they have the highest expectations for him, meaning his bloodline is closest to that of his ancestors. If he becomes a blood zombie, his original bloodline will cease to exist.”

“Then fine, he’s yours,” Ye Feng casually threw the sealed Shangguan Ming to Luo Yan. According to various rumors he had heard before, the ancestors of the Shangguan Ming family were likely not at the level of Immortality or Heavenly Dao, but they must have been superpowers with large universes within their bodies. That meant there was a high chance Shangguan Ming could reach that level as well. He would be a great asset to both Luo Yan and himself in the future.

“Also, clean this place thoroughly—leave no survivors. After that, all those corpses of those so-called Peak True Realm guys will be yours. As for the rest of the corpses, I want them all.” As soon as Ye Feng said this, Luo Yan and Jin Wen immediately began a massacre.
