Each of Luo Feng's fingers resembled a sharp blade, emanating an aura of life and death that carried an unmatched intensity.

His hands swiftly penetrated the scales and flesh of the three-faced gray-winged beast's chest. With a forceful downward motion, the wound widened instantly, and purple blood spurted out like a fountain.

"The toughness of this scaled skin is beyond belief." Luo Feng thought as he used his treasure gloves to slice the wound.

He felt immense resistance and secretly rejoiced in his heart. By using the forbidden spell and the Lei yuan technique, he caught the three-faced gray-winged beast off guard, allowing his full-strength attack to deal significant damage.

"Mm." Severely injured, the three-faced gray-winged beast quickly regained its senses, disregarding the gruesome wound on its chest. Its frontal mouth opened wide, releasing a gray beam of light that enveloped Luo Feng.

"Go!" Luo Feng's figure abruptly shranked, transforming into a streak of light that shot into the massive wound in the beast's chest and abdomen, burrowing deep into its body.

The gray beam barely grazed his back, instantly disintegrating part of his clothing and a small section of his flesh. However, his injuries healed almost immediately.

"The power of this gray light is truly formidable." Luo Feng noted as he burrowed into the beast's body.

The surrounding flesh and blood pressed in like a crushing tide, and the grayish-purple blood, highly corrosive, began eroding his white robe.

The robe, formed from the Heavenly Light Clone, quickly bore numerous scars but healed just as rapidly.

"Where is the life core?" Luo Feng wondered, as his claws tore through flesh and bones with relentless force, digging deeper into the heart of the three-faced gray-winged beast.

"Roar!" The three-faced gray-winged beast bellowed in agony as it felt its insides being mercilessly torn apart by the intruding practitioner.

From a distance, inside the black flying boat, Di Qing observed the battle with clear fascination.

"Brother Luo Feng's strength is truly remarkable." Di Qing thought, astonished.

It was widely known that even low-level Hunyuan life forms in the "early stage of the God Emperor" realm were immensely powerful. Yet Luo Feng not only faced one head-on but managed to gain the upper hand.

"With a single strike, he ripped open the chest and abdomen of the three-faced gray-winged beast and even burrowed directly inside. Such ferocity!" Di Qing noted with delight.

A close-combat expert of this caliber was a tremendous asset in any battle.

"However, low-level Chaotic Source beings aren't so easy to kill." Di Qing reminded himself.

His extensive experience had taught him the resilience of the three-faced gray-winged beasts.

In Yulan City, hunting teams only permitted practitioners at the early-stage God Emperor realm to join, and even then, such teams typically consisted of three to five members working in coordination. Taking down a low-level Chaotic source being alone was a task as daunting as reaching the heavens.

Di Qing had chosen to bring Luo Feng along for this hunt because of his own formidable strength. With one foot already stepping into the mid-stage of the God Emperor realm, he was confident in his ability to handle any unforeseen challenges.

Luo Feng resisted the corrosive effects of the beast's blood as he continued his search for its life core within its massive body.

Suddenly, a faint "buzz--" echoed as the three-faced gray-winged beast's eyes turned icy cold.

Without warning, its flesh-and-blood form dissolved into a vast expanse of gray mist.

In this mist form, its defensive strength and explosive power were somewhat diminished, but its abilities to survive, evade, and ambush were greatly amplified.

In an instant, Luo Feng found himself engulfed by the endless gray mist, which exuded a corrosiveness far more potent than the beast's blood. The white robe on his body began to tear rapidly, but its innate vitality allowed it to continuously recover.

"Poof. Poof. Poof."

Out of the gray mist, sharp claws emerged, launching relentless attacks on Luo Feng's chest, back, and legs. Some even managed to tear through his white robe.

Yet, with his world clone possessing energy reserves three hundred times greater than normal, and his incredibly durable skin and flesh, these attacks caused only minor wounds, which healed almost instantly.

"This practitioner's physical body is even more formidable than mine." The beast thought in shock.

Despite tearing through the white robe and thick skin, its claws barely managed to scratch Luo Feng's flesh. Meanwhile, Luo Feng's world clone ensured rapid recovery, restoring his injuries in mere moments.

Low-level Chaotic Source life forms were known for their strong physical bodies and immense vitality, but the gray-winged beast realized that Luo Feng far surpassed it in both regards. His techniques were deeper, his treasures more powerful, and his resilience unmatched. How could it possibly fight such an opponent?

"Run!" The beast, unwilling to continue the futile battle, turned to flee, its vast gray mist form surging away at high speed.

"Trying to escape? Witness my forbidden move--World in the Palm." Luo Feng's mind moved.

He activated the "Heaven and Earth Clone," which had already merged with the surrounding vast world, and unleashed the forbidden technique.

This move, based on the talent of the Heaven and Earth Clone and the Great Dao of Life and Death, was inspired by the innate treasure "World in the Palm." Composed of eight ultimate secret techniques, it was a terrifyingly powerful ability, and is most suitable for the Heaven and Earth Clone to unleash.

"Boom--"

An enormous illusory palm appeared, encompassing an entire world within it's palm. The gray mist was trapped inside this "world within the hand." Under its overwhelming suppression, the mist's speed began to slow.

"Mm." Realizing the danger, the gray mist split into nine separate parts, each stream frantically fleeing in different directions.

"Forbidden Move One--Time Walker." Luo Feng's time clone unleashed attacks that struck simultaneously across the past, present, and future.

The immense power of the forbidden move instantly obliterated one wisp of the gray mist. While splitting into nine wisps made the gray mist better suited for escape, it significantly reduced its combat strength.

Each wisp now lacked the power to withstand the devastating Life and Death techniques employed by Luo Feng's time clone.

"Poof. Poof. Poof."

The attacks came relentlessly, almost as if the wisps were being taken down one by one and simultaneously.

Out of the nine gray mists, seven were eradicated by the time clone's precision strikes. When the seventh wisp was destroyed, a rolling meatball was revealed.

"Life Core." Luo Feng's eyes gleamed with determination as he finally located the beast's true core.

The Life Core, hidden within the seventh wisp, was the essence of the low-grade Hunyuan lifeform.

Although Luo Feng's forbidden move impacted the Life Core, it couldn't destroy it outright.

"Destroy." The towering world clone, still empowered by the "World in the Palm," advanced swiftly and closed in on the Life Core meatball.

Luo Feng's right hand moved with lightning speed, his fingers acting like five sharp blades.

By activating the secret patterns within his treasure gloves, he unleashed power surpassing even forbidden moves, demonstrating the overwhelming advantage of secret treasures, which can greatly enhance the strength of the practitioners.

"No--" the Life Core emitted a piercing scream as it tried to flee.

"Rip." Luo Feng's blade-like fingers flashed past the meatball, carving three deep gashes into it.

With this decisive strike, the remaining gray mist halted its flight and naturally merged back into the battered corpse of the massive three-winged gray beast. The beast's lifeless body crashed to the ground, causing a slight tremor.

Luo Feng exhaled deeply, a smile spreading across his face.

"Finally, I've taken down this low-level Hunyuan lifeform." As he landed and gazed at the colossal corpse of the three-faced gray-winged beast, he felt a surge of emotion.

This victory had pushed him to his limits.

From the beginning, he had relied on spells and the Lie yuan technique; without them, the battle would have been far more arduous.

He had utilized the full extent of the Life and Death Dao and used forbidden moves specifically crafted through the causal(cause and effect)clone, time clone, and Heaven and Earth Clone techniques. With the power of the secret treasure gloves, he finally killed this weakest low-level Hunyuan Life.

"The low-level Hunyuan lifeforms of the early God Emperor stage are the weakest of their kind, yet they still pose such a challenge." Luo Feng thought to himself.

At that moment, a black flying boat appeared nearby.

Di Qing stepped out, his expression filled with disbelief as he stared at Luo Feng.

"Brother Luo Feng, you fought head-on and completely overpowered this low-level Hunyuan lifeform." Di Qing said, his tone full of amazement.

"At first, it might have seemed like a sneak attack, but later, when the three-faced gray-winged beast transformed into its mist form and launched various attacks on your physical body, your world clone withstood them effortlessly. This clearly shows your superior physical strength."

"And you even managed to kill it single-handedly." Di Qing continued, visibly impressed.

"Among practitioners at the early stages of the God Emperor level, very few can claim to have taken down a low-level Hunyuan lifeform one-on-one."

"Your strength is undoubtedly at the top among those who have attained enlightenment in the early-stage God Emperor." He added.

Di Qing had initially assumed Luo Feng's strength to be average for an early-stage God Emperor, especially after losing powerful treasures like the nine-story tower.

However, Luo Feng's extraordinary performance in this battle far exceeded expectations, leaving Di Qing both astonished and pleased.

With Luo Feng's capabilities, their teamwork would become even more formidable, allowing them to handle greater dangers and achieve better hunting results.

"Low-level primal(Hunyuan) beings have varying innate abilities." Luo Feng said modestly.

"I just happened to have the right counter for this three-faced gray-winged beast. If it were another type of low-level primal being, the outcome might not have been the same."

"Exactly, that's why teaming up is crucial." Di Qing responded with a smile.

"Now, let's quickly handle the spoils. This is your first time hunting a low-level Hunyuan lifeform."

Luo Feng nodded, gazing at the enormous corpse before him with a mix of satisfaction and emotion. This was the first low-level Hunyuan life he had defeated entirely on his own.

With a wave of his hand, Luo Feng stored the massive corpse away.

"This low-level Chaotic Source lifeform was haunted by you alone, so it rightfully belongs to you." Di Qing offered generously.

Luo Feng shook his head. "No, that's unnecessary. We agreed to share the spoils as a team, and I stand by that." Luo Feng valued fairness, recalling that Di Qing had earlier suggested an equal split as a way to support him.

While Di Qing, a long-established figure in Yulan City, was much wealthier and didn't mind giving up some of the bounty, Luo Feng believed in maintaining their agreement.

Di Qing realized that Luo Feng's decision wasn't rooted in politeness but in fairness.

Though Di Qing had greater explosive power due to his sword formation, Luo Feng's physical prowess and ability to engage low-level Hunyuan lifeforms in close combat were exceptional. Such a practitioner would be highly sought after by any hunting team in Yulan City.

Especially since most of the strong men in the billions of worlds did not have the ability to clone themselves and even if they were willing to fight in close combat, they would not be able to do so.

"Hahaha, alright then." Di Qing laughed, appreciating Luo Feng's integrity.

He also understood that their partnership had now become a formidable force against low-level Hunyuan lifeforms.

"By the way, Brother Di Qing, how much is this low-level Hunyuan lifeform worth?" Luo Feng asked.

"This one is a low-level Hunyuan lifeform at the 'Early God Emperor level.' From my experience, its value is approximately 800,000 Hunyuan Crystals." Di Qing replied.

Luo Feng nodded thoughtfully.

He knew that the value of mid-level God Emperor realm Hunyuan lifeforms was significantly higher.

However, he also understood that, even together, he and Di Qing would have a hard time not just suppressing but killing such formidable beings.

"Let's continue the hunt." Di Qing said, his spirit invigorated.

The excitement of their first successful hunt together had already fueled his anticipation for what lay ahead.
