Chapter 681: Barbaric City-Sacking (Part 2)

A Flame Mountain suddenly appeared overhead. In an instant, the entire Golden Butterfly City was engulfed in a sea of fire and burned to the ground.

Countless members of the Alien Races, Barbarian Race, and Demon Race living in the Demon City screamed as they struggled in the inferno.

“Who dares to commit such an atrocity!”

A group of shocked and enraged experts from the Golden Butterfly Clan flew out of the sea of flames.

The face of their leader, the stunningly beautiful Golden Butterfly Empress, was covered in frost.

With a flap of her four gorgeous, razor-thin golden butterfly wings, countless gales of Golden Wind howled ferociously toward Qin Feng.

BOOM!

Countless buildings were pulverized into dust by the Golden Wind!

‘An Yin God Level Golden Wind Law. Not bad. Capturing her will be perfect for refining the Wind Element Law in my Grotto Heaven!’

Qin Feng’s figure vanished from his spot completely.

“Not good!” The beautiful woman’s expression changed, and she tried to retreat explosively, but it was already too late.

Qin Feng appeared behind her and struck out with his palm. Cave Heaven Power surged like a tide, overwhelming her.

“Villain, let our Queen go!”

BOOM!

With two delicate shouts, a pair of furious Martial Dao Great Powers from the Golden Butterfly Clan appeared. Two streams of Law vibrated, descending upon Qin Feng’s head like longswords tearing through the Firmament.

“Void Pause!”

A stream of Void Law froze a hundred miles of the Void. Qin Feng glanced over and gave a cold smile.

‘Both of you, get in here quietly!’ The Void Law twisted space, forming two vortexes that swept up the two wide-eyed young women, suppressing them into his Grotto Heaven in one fell swoop.

RUMBLE!

As various Spirit Fires raged, Golden Butterfly City was utterly consumed. Occasionally, a streak of Demon Qi would burst from the flames, and Qin Feng would casually suppress it and send it into his Grotto Heaven.

His Chaos Fire Divine Technique was second to none in destructive power. Combined with the Flame Divine Mountain, not even Martial Arts Giants could escape easily.

Any who managed to escape possessed considerable skill.

In Qin Feng’s eyes, these members of the Demon Race were all valuable laborers. Capturing them would help him refine his Grotto Heaven.

Qin Feng could see clearly that most of those who managed to escape were experts from the Golden Butterfly Clan.

BOOM!

Half an hour later, the entire Golden Butterfly City had been reduced to ashes.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Ten thousand streaks of starlight descended.

The expressions of the Star Soldiers and Star Generals were shaken.

Even from hundreds of yards away, they could feel the terrifying heat of the flames, a heat that seemed capable of incinerating even their souls!

‘This new lord of ours is truly terrifying!’

Gazing at the Flame Mountain overhead, many of the Star Soldiers and Star Generals trembled with fear.

‘If that thing fell on us, we’d be turned to ash in minutes!’

Changqin looked at Qin Feng. “Venerable Lord, didn’t you say we should pay attention to favorable timing, geographical advantage, and popular support?”

Qin Feng shrugged. “I think that slow-and-steady approach is just too slow. How about we just kill our way through? Kill them all, then loot everything!”

“I’ll be in charge of capturing people. You all are in charge of searching for treasure below!”

Qin Feng had forgotten earlier. Even if he occupied these cities, they had nothing to do with him.

‘Since that’s the case, why leave them intact? Isn’t it more satisfying to just destroy them as we go!’

As he spoke, Qin Feng recalled the countless Spirit Fires.

“You have half an hour. Find what you can. After half an hour, we move out. Anyone who is late will face military justice!”

“Yes! Thank you, General!”

The many Star Soldiers and Star Generals were overjoyed to hear this, their eyes gleaming.

Ten thousand streaks of starlight shot into the ruined Demon City and began a carpet search.

Although the Spirit Fire destroyed everything, in a Demon City so vast, there were bound to be some treasures that could withstand the flames.

BOOM!

During the search, battles occasionally broke out. It was clear that some members of the Demon Race had survived the Chaos Fire Tribulation, only to be discovered by the Star Soldiers and Star Generals and quickly suppressed.

Half an hour later, the ten thousand Star Soldiers and Star Generals emerged punctually.

Half an hour was more than enough time for these quick-eyed, fast-handed Star Soldiers and Star Generals to sweep Golden Butterfly City several times.

“Let’s go! To the second city! Speed is paramount in war!”

Qin Feng transformed into a streak of light and sped toward the second Demon City, Withered Pine City.

The ten thousand streaks of starlight responded with a roar, their occupants’ faces alight with excitement.

Many of them had profited greatly from the previous search.

The Ten Great Commanders and Counselor Changqin exchanged a glance, then explosively formed a profound Battle Array. They followed like a giant meteor, hurtling toward the second Demon City.

Withered Pine City was a great city built in the Wilderness. In the autumn wind, the ancient city exuded a desolate, murderous aura.

It was surrounded by a forest of ancient trees, which had gathered countless Wood Element Spiritual Veins, and a verdant aura of life enveloped the area.

Vaguely, one could even see several Spiritual Roots in the center of the city, pulsating with vibrant life.

The many Star Soldiers and Star Generals were extremely envious. Such Spiritual Roots were exceptionally rare, yet here they were planted generously in the middle of the city, a testament to its wealth.

One Commander boldly addressed Qin Feng. “General, could we perhaps not use fire this time? All those Spiritual Roots, the Half-Spirit Wood…”

Changqin frowned and berated him. “He the Fifth, are you blinded by greed? Withered Pine City is nothing like Golden Butterfly City. Its City Lord is a Half-Quasi-Saint of the Wood Race, said to be an enlightened Spiritual Root. There are also five or six Demon Kings at the Supreme Great Power Realm! If we don’t burn them out, are we supposed to let them kill us?”

The burly, dark-skinned Commander in Silver Armor named He the Fifth still looked unwilling to give up.

The other Commanders also found it unbearable. The Spiritual Roots before them were a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“General?”

Changqin looked at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng fell into deep thought, his gaze sweeping over the giant city. The city was surrounded by a massive Innate Wood Array, which should have made it very difficult to attack.

‘The Array is nothing to me, though. I can still sneak in and set it on fire.’

Fire conquers wood. If Qin Feng were ruthless, he could guarantee Withered Pine City would be destroyed in minutes, just like the last one.

‘But to burn so many Spiritual Roots alive… what a waste.’

‘If I could move all of these Spiritual Roots into my Grotto Heaven, the growth of the Chaos Cave Heaven would accelerate by at least three or four times.’

A determined glint flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes. “It’s fine. So what if the Spiritual Roots are good? How can they block our path? Wait for my signal!”

Changqin breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Feng’s figure flickered, and in the next moment, he vanished into the Array.

He was surrounded by a lush forest of ancient, emerald-green trees.

The rich aura of life was intoxicating. An ordinary Martial Artist who had suffered a fatal wound would likely recover slowly in such an environment.

He took a step, and suddenly the surrounding ancient trees shifted. The world spun, and the trees seemed to stretch on without end!

It was like a primeval wilderness, filled with a vast and ancient aura!

Qin Feng could tell that this ancient forest had naturally formed an Innate Array.

‘It’s a Wood Element Array of at least the Grandmaster Level!’

Qin Feng observed his surroundings. Standing within it felt like entering a world of ancient wood.

This was an extremely powerful Innate Array.

Even an army of thousands would be disoriented upon entering, never to escape. Eventually, they would be assimilated by the Wood Element Law within and become nutrients for the myriad ancient trees.

Qin Feng sneered. An array of this level was no challenge for him.

Half an hour later, after making a few turns, an ancient city built at the base of a towering Divine Tree appeared before Qin Feng.
