Chapter 317: The Crisis of Genocide
At this moment, the Grand Elder had blood-red eyes and a terrifying expression that was quite frightening. After all, the power of a demi-god was beyond what ordinary people could bear.
Wu Tian pulled Ye Feng out of the combat zone, shielding him behind himself—this was the task given to him by Wu Kuang.
“What an overwhelming aura!” Ye Feng couldn’t help but exclaim. The Grand Elder truly lived up to Wu Ze’s description as the greatest among the Black Witch Clan. His aura was even stronger than Wu Kuang’s, who stood in front of him.
Wu Kuang knew he had no chance in a battle of momentum. Moreover, the Grand Elder was now completely insane and would surely attack without any restraint. With that thought, he let out a fierce roar, pushing forward with all his strength toward the Grand Elder.
Attacking now could prevent the Grand Elder’s aura from reaching its peak, thus preventing him from unleashing his full power. Additionally, striking first would give him a better chance to take control of the battle.
Wu Kuang was a master of close combat. Usually, even demi-god-level warriors would be at a severe disadvantage in such a situation. But to Ye Feng’s surprise, the seemingly elderly Grand Elder showed no fear at all and struck with a palm aimed at Wu Kuang’s fist, which was twice as large as his own.
“Boom…” The moment their fists collided, space seemed to be struck by a heavy hammer, creating a huge rift along their positions. A terrifying force emanated from the black rift, tearing apart nearby buildings and absorbing the resulting debris.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, accompanied by thunderous roars, as if serving as a warning.
Neither Wu Kuang nor the Grand Elder showed any intention of stopping. They paid no attention to the clouds above them.
“Boom, boom…” More thunderous explosions shook the ground, allowing Ye Feng and the others to clearly feel it trembling. This was the power of a demi-god.
Looking at the torn sky, it seemed as though a monstrous face was mocking everyone’s ignorance. Since the two began fighting seriously, Ye Feng could no longer see their movements clearly—such speed was beyond what his eyes or mental power could capture.
Wu Tian, standing in front of him, had his eyes tightly closed, with sweat constantly dripping from his forehead. Ye Feng knew he was trying his best to see the entire battle, but from his expression, it was clear he was struggling greatly.
“I really want to watch this battle too!” Ye Feng frowned slightly. “But I guess even if battle puppets are used, it might not be possible to see clearly… I need to think of another way.”
As he spoke, Ye Feng sent his mental energy into the Void Realm, looking for any device that could allow him to watch this extraordinary battle.
After entering the corresponding keywords, an item that appeared before his eyes really surprised him—he hadn’t expected it to be so easy to find.
“Other items: Insufficient host permissions; not displayed!” A dialog box also appeared before Ye Feng’s eyes.
Ignoring that message, Ye Feng clicked on the 3D image displayed in front of him. “Omni-Recorder: Can record every scene in the world, unaffected by any energy or magnetic fields, and can be used at any time and place.”
“There’s such a powerful thing? Judging from the description, it must be very expensive. With my realm level permissions, why is it being displayed?” While pondering this, the environment around him suddenly changed, and a square shelf appeared before him.
Ye Feng was slightly stunned. “Is this the First Realm?”
Having not been back to the First Realm of the Void Realm for a long time, Ye Feng was truly surprised. He hadn’t expected the item he found to be from the First Realm.
“Omni-Recorder: Value at the First Realm level is 100 million points. Can record all phenomena in the universe, has transformation functions, energy analysis functions, night vision, and anti-interference capabilities… The body is made of the latest extreme alloy developed by Taikrolegi, and all components are made of super memory alloy. No matter how severe the damage, it can be restored to its original state…”
“The power of technology is truly terrifying—they can even create something like this!” Ye Feng couldn’t help but marvel. “But can this machine record a battle between semi-god-level warriors?”
Ye Feng was still skeptical about the machine’s capabilities. After all, it was a battle between semi-god-level warriors. Not to mention their speeds, the various radiations and magnetic fields generated during the battle alone would be enough to shut down all video recorders in the world.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Feng finally nodded. “Forget it, let’s give it a try. Anyway, it’s only worth 100 million points at the First Realm level, which is equivalent to 100 points at the Third Realm level. If it works, that’s great. If not, it can still be useful for recording other things. 100 million points at the First Realm level is equivalent to 100 billion dollars. The resolution must be extremely high, hehe…”
“Confirm purchase!”
“100 million first-tier domain value consumed. Purchase successful. A set of smart Taikroleki playback equipment is included as a bonus.” Ye Feng held the palm-sized object in his hand and fiddled with it. “Does it have a transformation function? Can it turn into something like contact lenses?” Soon after, Ye Feng saw several options for transformation. The first was to turn into contact lenses, the second was in the design of regular sunglasses, the third resembled a camera, the fourth was in the shape of a telescope, and the fifth was the current form of a small metal box in Ye Feng’s hands. “Choose to transform into the first form!” Ye Feng said in a low voice. The box in his hand immediately turned into two contact lenses. Ye Feng glanced around; no one noticed him, so he quickly put on the contact lenses. The moment he put them on, he saw two colors of lines intersecting in the air—one gray and the other pitch black—but he still couldn’t make out where the two people were. “Slow down the speed by a thousand times!” Ye Feng gave a new command. This time, Ye Feng finally saw two figures drawing strange lines in the air, but he still couldn’t discern their movements. “Slow it down another hundred times!” Ye Feng ordered again, and the movements became clear at once. Ye Feng finally saw that the gray energy came from Wu Kuang, while the black lines came from the Grand Elder. Their movements had been slowed down by 100,000 times, allowing him to catch them with his eyes. It should be noted that although Ye Feng’s cultivation level wasn’t high, his strength was comparable to that of a true immortal-level warrior. Even then, he needed to slow down the speed by 100,000 times to observe them, which showed just how terrifying their speed was. “So powerful!” Ye Feng couldn’t help but exclaim at the fierce battle between the two in the air. At that moment, Wu Tian suddenly turned his head. “Mr. Blade, can you see them?” “Mm!” Ye Feng nodded. “I’ve been unable to see their movements clearly since they accelerated for the second time…” Wu Tian seemed somewhat frustrated. “The Grand Elder is now in the advantage.” Ye Feng frowned slightly. He could see that Wu Kuang was already in a passive position, taking hits. He never expected the Grand Elder to be even stronger in close combat than Wu Kuang. Yet Wu Tian didn’t seem surprised at all. “For tens of thousands of years, the Grand Elder has been the strongest among our Black Witch Clan. Whether in close combat or using witchcraft, no one in the clan can defeat him. It’s just that he hasn’t fought in a long time.”
“To suppress him, I need my mother to be there as well, working together with my father and my second uncle… But my second uncle and my father simply can’t win!” Wu Tian seemed to have a thorough understanding of the Great Elder’s strength.
“Where’s your second uncle?” Ye Feng asked curiously. The battle between Wu Kuang and the Great Elder had lasted nearly a cup of tea, yet Wu Ze still hadn’t shown up, which puzzled Ye Feng.
“The clan leader went to the Dragon Clan to seek help,” said the Third Elder.
“Isn’t it better to send someone else? That way we can buy some time,” Ye Feng asked, puzzled.
“No, the Dragon Clan doesn’t accept guests below the demi-god level,” Wu Tian shook his head. “Even if my mother is from the Dragon Clan, since she isn’t at the demi-god level, she can only go there under the guidance of my father or mother and cannot enter the Dragon Clan’s territory.”
“There’s such a rule?” Ye Feng shook his head helplessly. “Then when will he be back?”
“The round trip takes twenty days!” Wu Tian frowned. “My father won’t last that long!”
“The clan leader left on the day you started treatment. By normal calculations, he should have arrived at the Dragon Clan last night!” The Third Elder nodded. “The Great Elder is extremely powerful. With Wu Kuang’s strength, he can probably hold out for at most three days. Any longer, and he might be killed by the Great Elder.”
“In other words, we can hold out here at most until the fourteenth day. That means there are still six days before they return?” Ye Feng frowned. If that was the case, with the Great Elder’s strength, six days would likely be enough for him to kill everyone in the Black Witch Clan. He was completely trapped in delusions, determined to eliminate all obstacles in his path. “Is there any other way?”
“There’s no other way. The Great Elder is the strongest in the clan. Right now, the only one who can confront him at the demi-god level is Wu Kuang. The others aren’t even a match for him in a single exchange,” the Third Elder shook his head helplessly.
“What about Ba She? With his strength, he should be able to stop the Great Elder, right?” Ye Feng suddenly thought of Ba She.
“No!” The Third Elder shook his head. “The contract with the Ba Snake was only to help us defend against external enemies. There was also a clause stating that in case of internal strife, even if our race perished, it could not intervene. This is an ancestral rule set by our forefathers. If our race is destroyed due to internal conflicts, it is our own fault. The Ba Snake can help us once, but not for life. Once it leaves and conflicts arise again, the Black Witch clan will still perish. That’s why our forefathers explicitly forbade the Ba Snake from helping, so that we can unite and resolve disputes peacefully.”
“In that case, this is really troublesome!” Ye Feng looked helpless. If his actions led to the destruction of the Black Witch clan, he would surely be plagued by guilt for life. He never expected his healing skills to bring such a crisis…
