The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 165 Acquired

The border between the Great Luo Heaven Domain and the Hundred Battle Domain.

The Hundred Battles Mountains, the central region.

Amidst countless mountains and valleys, a palace forged from crystal-clear spiritual crystals stands atop the central peak, its surface shimmering with spiritual light and radiating vast spiritual energy.

Deep within the palace, a figure stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

It was an old man with white hair dressed in a silver robe. The old man had a square face and a pair of eyes that shone with a strange black light. His pupils seemed to hold the movement of stars and were incredibly deep.

This person is none other than Ling Tong Huang, one of the three emperors of the Great Luo Heaven Domain, a seventh-grade supreme expert.

Behind him stood a middle-aged man with a slightly robust build, standing respectfully.

The man had a pair of enormous hands, with veins on them like coiled dragons, as if they could split mountains. The spiritual energy fluctuations within his body were also quite strong, reaching the level of a fifth-grade supreme being.

The robust middle-aged man was none other than the Mountain Rift King, ranked second among the Five Kings of the Great Luo Heaven Domain, second only to the Asura King in strength.

"Ye Feng—"

Ling Tong Huang put down the intelligence jade slip in his hand, and a strange light appeared on his aged face. Stars swirled in his black pupils, as if he was deducing something.

"Spirit Eye Emperor, could Ye Feng really be as monstrous as the rumors suggest?"

King Lieshan spoke in a deep voice, his huge hand clenching slightly, the veins throbbing like a coiled dragon.

"I know Blood Eagle's strength. He is at the peak of the fourth-grade supreme. His true form is the spirit beast Blood Eagle. When he fights for his life, even ordinary fifth-grade supreme beings would have to be wary of him."

"For a third-grade supreme being to defeat him, this—"

King Lieshan shook his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.

If these messages hadn't been relayed by Ice River King and Blood Eagle Supreme, he would have given the messenger who spread the rumors a good beating.

"A young man who can unleash a perfected divine technique at the third-rank supreme level, possesses a superior-grade divine artifact, and cultivates a mysterious supreme dharma body is rarely heard of in the Northern Realm and the Tianluo Continent—"

Ling Tong Huang turned around, his black eyes gazing towards the southeast of the Hundred Battle Domain.

"Indeed unbelievable—"

King Lieshan shook his head, his heart filled with suspicion.

"Even a seventh-grade supreme being would find it difficult to successfully cultivate a divine technique at the Great Perfection level, let alone a third-grade supreme being."

"This Ye Feng is no ordinary person. According to the information sent back by the Blood Eagle King, it's not impossible that he knows the Domain Lord—"

Ling Tonghuang's face tightened, and he sighed.

"Knowing the Domain Lord? This—this—"

King Lieshan trembled, his rough, bronze-colored face filled with a dazed look and a hint of confusion.

"This matter must be reported to the Heavenly Eagle Emperor and the Sleeping Emperor as soon as possible, and then to the Domain Lord!"

Ling Tonghuang's expression was solemn, his black pupils shimmering with starlight, and his voice was deep.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to take care of it right away!"

Upon hearing this, King Lieshan felt a chill run down his spine and bowed in response.

"After this, you will proceed to the Hundred Battles Domain. Every war waged by our Great Luo Heaven Domain is intended to train our troops."

"But there are always some eyesores who overestimate their abilities and try to obstruct my Great Luo Heaven Domain."

"In addition, the city lord of Xuanxi City under the command of the Asura King has secretly defected to the Netherworld Palace. The Sleeping Emperor has just confirmed this. You should tell the Asura King about this."

Ling Tonghuang continued with the arrangements, his voice carrying a chilling intensity that seemed to freeze the air itself.

"That guy really is a traitor, but with his strength as a fifth-rank supreme being, why doesn't he accept the title of king? It's really strange—"

King Lieshan responded solemnly, his face revealing a hint of anger.

The city lord of Xuanxi City, the Xuanxi Supreme, is one of the few fifth-rank supreme beings in their Great Luo Heaven Domain. He is fully qualified to be a king, but he has not shown any signs of it. On the surface, he appears to be just like those otherworldly people who have renounced worldly life.

"This Supreme Being of the Western Suspension cultivates the supernatural techniques of the Netherworld Palace. He is unwilling to be granted the title of King, claiming to be selfless and not seeking personal gain. He is most likely afraid of being discovered by the Domain Lord!"

Little did they know, that was self-deception!

Ling Tonghuang offered a brief explanation, his voice laced with murderous intent.

The Great Luo Heaven Domain was originally a chaotic region, just like the Hundred Battle Domain. After the Great Hunt a hundred years ago, this region became a no-man's land.

Their situation in this region was quite dire. The Netherworld Palace, the Heavenly Profound Palace, and the Serpent God Palace would attack them frequently, so their predicament was unimaginable.

Joining these forces only to be rejected left him with almost no way out.

Fortunately, the Domain Lord appeared and constructed the Great Luo Heaven Domain, which allowed him to break through to the Seventh Grade Supreme.

Otherwise, he might have already left this region. Although the Domain Lord has unified the Great Luo Heaven Domain, there are still some unstable factors.

Such a war of conquest is a good opportunity to use someone else to do the dirty work. I suppose the Netherworld Palace knows this, but they won't say anything.

"It should be like this—"

King Lieshan responded without saying anything more, and bowed as he withdrew.

"The spoils of this conquest are immeasurable—"

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Tianfeng City, Tianfeng Palace.

Ye Feng sat high on the throne, his face solemn, looking down at Qian Xuan.

"Sect Master, Blood Eagle Supreme has led his army into the territory of Ten Thousand Puppet City for a month. Ten Thousand Puppet Supreme has asked Youdu Supreme for help, but Youdu Supreme is tied down by Spirit Sword King and has no time to spare."

Qianxuan stood below, respectfully reporting the latest intelligence.

"Wanlei City probably won't last more than a few days."

Ye Feng nodded slightly, a glint of light flashing in his deep black eyes.

"How's the situation at the Xuan Gu Palace?"

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, with Blood Eagle Supreme's forces divided, the two fourth-rank Supremes, Wanluo Supreme and Nanmo Supreme, only needed to join forces to kill the Xuan Gu Palace Master."

"The Xuan Gu Palace has been destroyed!"

Mentioning the Xuan Gu Supreme, Qian Xuan felt a pang of regret.

For a fourth-grade supreme expert, cultivation is incredibly difficult, yet he perished in such a way.

"In that case, we've saved ourselves a lot of trouble."

A faint smile appeared on Ye Feng's lips.

If the Great Luo Heavenly Domain were to use the war of conquest to kill the Profound Bone Supreme, no one would say anything.

But if he were to personally take action and exterminate them all, it would be difficult to guarantee that other forces in the Hundred Battles Domain would not unite in resistance.

The fact that the Supreme Xuangu was unwilling to abandon the vast Xuangu Palace and join the Supreme Guiyun meant that he was willing to risk his life rather than part with his wealth.

However, even in death, the Xuan Gu Supreme probably never expected that the people of the Great Luo Heaven Domain would directly kill him, acting out of the ordinary.

"What a pity about the treasure vaults of the Xuan Gu Palace and Wan Lei City—"

Thinking of the potential strength of these two major forces, Qian Xuan sighed, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

Those forces have been operating for many years and have a deep foundation. If they can fall into the hands of Tianfeng Pavilion, it will greatly increase the strength of the pavilion.

In the vast world, most sects and forces do not store their supreme spiritual liquids, spiritual artifacts, and spiritual pills in the Mustard Seed Bracelet, but rather under the Spirit Gathering Array.

Only in this way can the purity of spiritual power and spirituality be guaranteed as much as possible.

During the last campaign, he led the Lingfeng Guard and seized a considerable amount of spiritual treasures from the treasuries of some cities.

"hehe--"

Ye Feng waved his hand, his expression indifferent.

"It's alright. We can earn and accumulate these things sooner or later once we have territory and land."

"Furthermore, the Blood Eagle Supreme has already promised to give me 100,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids. At that time, 30,000 will be added to the pavilion, which will be enough to support its operation for a period of time."

Ye Feng did not hide some of his dealings with Blood Eagle Supreme from Qian Xuan, who was someone he trusted in Tianfeng Pavilion.

The operation of a faction is inseparable from the Supreme Spirit Liquid. Now he is no longer alone. Each time he obtains the Supreme Spirit Liquid, he only takes most of it and keeps the rest in the pavilion.

This can hardly be considered a loss, because it won't be long before the territories he controls will provide him with considerable profits.

From now on, the Supreme Elixir will be a continuous source for him; the only difference will be the amount of profit he receives each year.

Therefore, Tianfeng Pavilion still needs to grow and expand. As its strength increases, it will require more and more Supreme Spiritual Liquid.

"One hundred thousand—"

Qianxuan was stunned for a moment, then a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

He had been worried about Lingfeng Guard's future salary, but now this Pavilion Master had easily solved the problem.

With 30,000 units of Supreme Spirit Liquid, Lingfeng Guard, at its current scale, could sustain them for over a decade.

"The most important thing right now is to consolidate our existing control, accumulate strength, and expand the Lingfeng Guard!"

"You don't need to worry about the Supreme Elixir; I will find a way to resolve it."

Ye Feng looked out of the hall, a flame burning in his dark, deep eyes.

The end of this Great Luo Heavenly Domain conquest marks the beginning of Tianfeng Pavilion's renewed expansion.

The supreme Dharma body has been formed, and the fourth grade of supreme status is in sight.

Once he breaks through to the fourth rank of Supreme, no one in the southeastern region of the Hundred Battles Domain will be able to stop his advance.

a few days later.

Upon sensing someone's arrival, Ye Feng immediately stopped cultivating in the Heavenly Wind Palace.

"Sect Master, the Blood Eagle Supreme has sent someone to say that he has important matters to discuss."

Upon hearing Wang Fu's report, Ye Feng opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his dark, deep pupils.

"Let him in."

A moment later, a figure dressed in black robes stepped into the hall; it was none other than Wanluo Supreme, a subordinate of Blood Eagle Supreme.

"Wanluo greets Pavilion Master Ye."

Supreme Lord Wanluo bowed respectfully.

He had fought Ye Feng before and was severely injured by Ye Feng's sword. Now that they met again, he was still in shock.

"No need for such formalities."

Ye Feng spoke calmly, his gaze falling on Supreme Wanluo.

"Why did the Blood Eagle Supreme send you here?"

Supreme Lord Wanluo spoke solemnly.

"Sect Master Ye, the Blood Eagle Supreme has conquered Wanlei City. Wanlei Supreme has escaped with serious injuries. Wanlei City and the territory under the command of the Xuan Gu Palace have all fallen into the hands of our Great Luo Heaven Domain."

"The Blood Eagle Supreme means to fulfill our previous agreement; here is 100,000 units of Supreme Spirit Liquid!"

As Wanluo Supreme spoke, he raised his hand and waved, and a mustard seed bracelet flew out from his sleeve and slowly floated towards Ye Feng.

Ye Feng raised his hand and took it, probing it with his spiritual power. After a quick scan, he saw that the mustard seed bracelet contained a large number of crystal clear jade bottles, each filled with supreme spiritual liquid, radiating pure and vast spiritual power fluctuations.

One hundred thousand units of Supreme Spiritual Liquid, not a single drop more than required.

"The Blood Eagle Supreme is indeed a man of his word."

Ye Feng nodded slightly, put the mustard seed bracelet into his pocket, and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

Having gained strength, obtaining these 100,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids became much easier than before.

"Pavilion Master Ye is too kind. Supreme Blood Eagle said that it is a great honor to have met Pavilion Master Ye. If there is any need in the future, please feel free to contact me."

Wanluo Supreme's attitude became increasingly respectful, and his words already placed Ye Feng on the same or even higher level as Blood Eagle Supreme.

A third-rank supreme being who could severely injure the Blood Eagle Supreme was a person of unpredictable methods and extraordinary origins. Such a person was definitely not someone he could afford to offend.

"You're too kind, Blood Eagle Supreme."

Ye Feng smiled calmly and waved his hand.

"Now that Wanlei City and Xuan Gu Palace have been destroyed, what are the Great Luo Heaven Domain's plans regarding the territories left behind by these two major powers?"

Upon hearing this, Supreme Wanluo did not hesitate at all and laughed, "Supreme Blood Eagle has ordered that this war of conquest in the Great Luo Heaven Domain is intended to train troops. The Xuan Gu Palace and Wan Lei City are stubborn and incorrigible, and deserve to be slaughtered."

"As for the territories left behind by these two major forces, the Great Luo Heaven Domain will not touch them. If Pavilion Master Ye is interested, he may take them."

"In that case, it would be impolite of me to refuse."

Ye Feng did not refuse and nodded.

Seeing Ye Feng agree, Wanluo Supreme breathed a sigh of relief and quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

"Sect Master Ye, Supreme Blood Eagle has another matter to entrust to you."

"What is it?"

Ye Feng's gaze narrowed slightly.

Supreme Lord Wanluo spoke solemnly, “Supreme Lord Blood Eagle hopes that Pavilion Master Ye can put in a good word for him before the Domain Lord.”
