Buzz!
The flying car, which had landed only moments ago, ascended once more, receding into the distance.
The Royal Family youth, gritting his teeth, slammed his fist against the cabin table in frustration.
Boom!
"How dare he!"
His furious shout reverberated through the cabin, but the Force Field contained the sound, preventing any trace from escaping.
Xia Shiwen's face darkened, a vein throbbing visibly on his temple. The Tang-suited Butler, though outwardly composed, also felt a surge of displeasure.
Even though the Radiant Light lineage had waned somewhat, lacking the formidable power and high status of Red City, their bloodline remained undeniably royal.
In the past, even powerless royal nobles would have commanded kneeling obeisance from commoners.
Yet now, their offer of friendship had been politely rejected.
"He's really getting too big for his britches!" Xia Shiwen spat, but no one in the cabin dared to respond.
While the Force Field concealed their outbursts, everyone understood the danger of reckless words.
Moreover...
The Tang-suited Butler shook his head inwardly, his expression tinged with resignation.
What good would angry curses do?
The Flame Tiger Grandmaster had already risen to prominence, capable of sparring with and defeating even first-stage Legendary Flying Generals. He had surpassed the reach of ordinary power structures.
If not for this, why would they, the Radiant Light lineage, lower themselves to pay a visit?
The thought flashed through his mind, and he sighed inwardly, ordering the aircraft to accelerate back to Radiant Light Inner City.
"Did we offend them too deeply?"
In the Flame Tiger Sect's main hall, Li Tong, clad in a white robe with crimson patterns, watched the aircraft recede into the distance, his eyes filled with worry.
Though the old era had long passed, the term "Royal Family" still carried immense weight for the people of the Red Nation.
Moreover, he was unaware of the internal dynamics between the Red City and Radiant Light lineages.
"It doesn't matter," Chen Feng said calmly, shaking his head to reassure him.
As the aircraft soared higher, piercing through the cloud layer, his gaze grew unusually profound.
Having now risen to the pinnacle of individual power within the Red Nation, he had earned the right to refuse many things.
As for the so-called Royal Family, they were merely ordinary people, especially those without any real authority.
The thought crossed his mind that today's unpleasant conversation would likely reach the ears of certain factions in Red City.
And this feud between branches of the Royal Family...
He shook his head.
Unless absolutely necessary, he had no desire to get involved.
Boom!!
That night, amidst the mist-shrouded city...
The Crimson Gold Flames erupted like a Blazing Sun, instantly annihilating the swarm of Black Tide Creatures that had surrounded them.
A rain of blood splattered across the ruins, splattering flesh and gore against the crumbling concrete walls.
Splat!
The gray concrete walls were stained with a sickly green, but Chen Feng's expression remained grim.
His gaze stretched beyond the collapsed corner of the High Wall.
Black mist churned like a stormy sea, and countless inhuman creatures emerged from its depths.
This scene was all too familiar, hardly surprising, yet Chen Feng's eyes remained fixed on something deeper within the darkness.
Five colossal entities lurked within the black mist.
Each towered over a hundred meters tall, their forms either piercing through the cloud layer like towering mountain peaks or sprawling across the landscape like colossal beasts in slumber.
These were the fleeting anomalies that had appeared during the Qinggang City Dreamscape, manifestations of the Blood Moon's malevolent will.
Before leaving the Dream Realm, Chen Feng had charged into the black mist alone, determined to destroy them one by one.
But the oppressive darkness had suppressed his senses, making it impossible to pinpoint their exact locations.
Now, without warning...
Buzz!!
The black mist suddenly surged and churned.
The five colossal figures stirred one after another, unleashing an earth-shattering aura.
Their massive scarlet eyes snapped open, revealing this was only the beginning.
One pair, three pairs, five pairs... Over a hundred crimson eyeballs materialized across the body of the black mist behemoth.
Or perhaps it was the unfolding of wings that blotted out the sky, stirring up gale-force winds like the awakening of a prehistoric titan.
Even at a great distance, the ground beneath Qinggang City trembled.
Lingering gusts swept across the ruins. Chen Feng stood atop a crumbling skyscraper, Dark Flash Burst crackling behind him.
Boom!!
Dozens of Black Tide Creatures charging toward him instantly perished. A grimness settled on his face.
"At least Envoy Rank."
The Black Mist Behemoths, seemingly awakening one after another within the black mist, radiated terrifying power—clearly at the angel level.
Especially the leader, with its grotesque multitude of crimson eyes, exerted a palpable pressure on him.
He suspected it was a Lower-Ranking Angel-level aberrant monster.
Roar!!
A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth.
A surging shockwave slammed into him, sending debris flying and causing further collapses within the city's ruins.
A crack snaked across the concrete beneath Chen Feng's feet. His gaze sharpened as the angel creature vanished.
Boom!!
The ground exploded, leaving a gaping crater.
A jagged spike, several meters thick, erupted through the shattered concrete like a drill, piercing through the skyscraper and stopping just beneath Chen Feng's feet.
The vanished angel creature possessed the ability to burrow underground. Its single, razor-sharp horn, tens of meters long, pierced through the earth and sky, tearing everything in its path.
Clang!!
Steel Bones materialized, and a golden shield blocked the fatal strike.
Chen Feng slid backward through the air, frowning as he observed the creature. It resembled a centipede, with a single horn and a body of pitch-black steel.
Boom!!
The impaled skyscraper collapsed, sending debris tumbling into the deep crater below, which continued to crumble and sink.
The centipede-like angel creature emerged from the depths, its massive form stretching over a hundred meters long, and roared in fury.
Roar!!
The ear-splitting sonic blast shook the black mist sky like a hurricane.
Chen Feng's Steel Bones transformed into a radiant golden shield, deflecting most of the impact. Yet a sudden chill ran through him.
Whoosh!!!
A blue energy beam shot across a thousand meters in an instant, piercing through the High Wall and the buildings in its path.
Chen Feng sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the beam. The structures beside him were instantly vaporized by the intense heat, reduced to nothingness.
As everything around him rapidly melted into dust, Chen Feng focused his gaze on the distant sky. There, suspended high above, hovered a black Bone Dragon with a wingspan of hundreds of meters.
Phosphorus fire flickered in its eye sockets as the dragon's massive jaws gathered energy for another breath attack. As the dragon's head shifted, the black mist sky seemed to split in two. The phosphorus fire coalesced into a colossal, thousand-meter-long sword of flame, poised to sweep across the land.
Whoosh!!
Instantly, Blood Wings materialized, and Chen Feng, breaking the sound barrier, transformed into a streak of light, nimbly evading the blue light's breath.
He managed to distance himself from the blue light, but his vision suddenly went dark.
Looking up, he saw a colossal creature descending from the sky.
It was a toad-like monster, its putrid skin covered in festering sores, glowing with a sickly green light.
Its body, over a hundred meters long, blocked his path like a mountain. The creature spat out a massive glob of phosphorescent green liquid.
The air evaporated, white steam billowed, and a scorching, rotting stench assaulted him from afar. Even before the liquid touched him, Chen Feng felt his skin burn and his Qi and Blood stagnate.
At the same moment, a black streak of light, like a sword, hurtled toward him, as if it had shrunk its form to concentrate its power into absolute impact.
A cone-shaped shockwave lingered behind it, tearing through the sky, and an oppressive chill pierced Chen Feng's heart.
This was the fourth angel creature.
Their coordinated assault was flawless, covering all angles: aerial and ground, ranged and melee.
And lurking within the black mist, the leader—a towering figure covered in crimson compound eyes—watched with predatory intent, ready to strike at any moment.
In an instant, overwhelming malice enveloped Chen Feng.
The black streak of light struck like a sword, while the phosphorus fire breath relentlessly pursued him from behind.
The putrid green liquid spread like an invisible net, and the ground-bound, centipede-like steel behemoth unleashed another sonic blast.
Just as Chen Feng was about to be devoured, the crimson Blood Moon high in the sky flickered mockingly.
Faced with this imminent doom, Chen Feng roared, "Get lost!!"
Boom!!
A brilliant golden flash erupted as Steel Bones, moving at over three times the speed of sound, tore through the air.
It was as if a golden sword had swept across the battlefield, cleaving heaven and earth.
The black mist-shrouded sky split like a parted sea, dividing into two.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
A series of muffled explosions echoed, like blades piercing flesh.
Blood splattered as the black energy stream recoiled at even greater speed, crashing into the distant High Wall and leaving behind a deep crater and spiderweb-like cracks.
Strands of eerie green blood oozed from the wound, trickling down the wall to the ground.
Simultaneously, the phosphorus fire breath, which had been a pillar of energy, split in two. The Bone Dragon's head shattered like rock and crashed to the ground.
The flickering phosphorus fire in its eye sockets dimmed rapidly, and the headless skeletal body swayed precariously.
As for the grotesquely twisted giant toad and the Azure Armor's unicorn centipede angel creature, their bodies shuddered violently before being cleaved in half at the waist.
Their massive bodies slid apart like sheets of paper, collapsing against nearby high-rise buildings. Eerie green blood seeped into the ruined earth.
The overwhelming angelic siege was effortlessly shattered. A golden Round Shield materialized above Chen Feng's head, allowing the putrid, emerald liquid to corrode it before dissipating completely.
An eerie silence fell as the Blood Moon, which had been flickering high above, suddenly froze in place.
Chen Feng glanced at the mocking malice frozen within the crimson orb. His Azure Armor surged outward, transforming him into an Azure-Gold Demon God.
ROAR!!!
Sensing the shift in power, the creature with hundreds of crimson compound eyes roared furiously from within the black mist.
The shockwave flattened the High Wall.
Black mist surged forward as crimson moonlight once again poured down from the sky.
Hah hah...
The giant toad, severed at the waist, rolled its eyes wildly, its flesh writhing in a desperate attempt to regenerate.
The other angel creatures were in similar states, clinging to the last vestiges of life, on the verge of resurrection.
Chen Feng cast a cold glance at these defeated foes. Platinum light erupted from before him, piercing the sky and striking the High Wall, tearing through the black mist.
Boom!!
The earth-shattering impact reverberated across the battlefield. Outside the High Wall, the black mist churned like a pitch-black sea, its waves crashing against the Holy Shield Colossus.
The monstrous creature with hundreds of crimson compound eyes roared incessantly, yet the Holy Shield Colossus stood firm, an unyielding mountain of platinum and ash, its presence dominating the sky.
The Pillar of Heaven's fists pounded relentlessly, each strike resonating with a dull thud. Its platinum light even dispersed some of the encroaching black mist.
As for the four angel creatures trapped within the High Wall:
Whoosh!
Four golden spears shot forth simultaneously, piercing savagely into the angel creatures' bodies.
The Heart of Life activated instantly, forcefully draining every last vestige of their life force.
In the blink of an eye, emerald green light flickered across Steel Bones' metallic frame as countless strands of Life Essence were absorbed into the mark on his chest.
The struggling angels' life force steadily waned, and the crimson moonlight that bathed them seemed to dim.
Suddenly:
Whoosh!
The Blood Moon high above shifted again, unleashing a crimson pillar of light from the heavens.
The entire world was bathed in a blood-red hue, and even the black mist began to dissipate.
A powerful sense of crisis invaded Chen Feng's mind, bringing with it an icy, deathly stillness.
Yet Chen Feng remained unshaken, continuing to siphon the angels' life force.
He was certain he would come to no harm.
Because:
Buzz!
Space trembled as the Golden Palace, hidden between the real and the illusory, reappeared.
Blinding golden light erupted skyward, transforming into a golden Barrier that blocked the crimson pillar of light.
Boom!!
The opposing forces clashed, unleashing shockwaves that swept outward for thousands of meters.
Waves of golden and crimson light rippled endlessly, distorting space itself.
The two forces remained locked in a stalemate. Chen Feng, positioned at the very bottom, felt a sudden shift in his Perception and abruptly turned his gaze toward the horizon.
A sheet of white paper materialized from thin air and drifted down.
Resembling a diary entry, it bore familiar, tadpole-like script.
