126: Chapter 126 The Great Wilderness Collapses! Pangu's Plunder Sweeps Across the Entire Field!
The ground of the Taihuang Battlefield was dark red. It was not soil; it was not rock. It was blood that had solidified over countless epochs.
The blood of countless Hunyuan Supreme powerhouses had soaked into this land, year after year, epoch after epoch, eventually merging completely with the soil to form the dark red wasteland that stretched to the horizon beneath his feet.
Jiang Feng stepped onto it, and his soles made a faint, sticky sound.
"Quite dirty."
He frowned, as if he had stepped into a muddy patch on a rainy day.
He looked up.
At the end of the wasteland, there were three figures.
The nearest one was no more than a thousand miles away. Its form was as massive as a mountain, wreathed in wisps of dark green Chaos Laws. Each wisp writhed silently, radiating a terrifying fluctuation capable of utterly obliterating an entire Hongmeng Realm from start to finish.
A Hunyuan Supreme, Third-Yuan Realm.
Jiang Feng glanced at it and made his judgment.
He also set a price—ten Jian of attributes, no less.
That Hunyuan Supreme had clearly noticed him as well.
A pair of turbid, giant eyes, like dying stars, slowly lowered to inspect the ant-sized figure beneath its feet.
There was no hostility in that gaze.
Hostility was reserved for opponents of the same magnitude.
It looked at Jiang Feng the way a human looks at the grass by the roadside.
"Where did this bug come from?"
The voice crushed down from the firmament, carrying a pressure capable of instantly evaporating the flesh and blood of low-dimensional beings.
That Supreme was named "Eyuan." Having slaughtered on the Taihuang Battlefield for a full three epochs, with over forty Hunyuan-level souls on its hands—in any dimension outside, this was a god-of-slaughter-level record sufficient to make stars tremble.
It lifted its chin slightly, revealing the arrogance typical of a superior being.
"A new piece on Venerable Ming's chessboard? Or bait thrown in by Venerable Xuan?"
"Regardless of which—"
"Neither is enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."
Jiang Feng ignored it.
He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers naturally extending.
The 120 Jian of foundational essence within his body surged quietly.
There was no need to erupt, no need to release.
He hadn't even used a shred of combat power multiplier augmentation.
It was simply like the rising tide of a vast ocean, silently swelling. That was all.
Boom!
The wasteland beneath Eyuan collapsed.
It wasn't shattered, nor did it implode.
It simply transformed from "existence" to "non-existence."
The dark red earth for ten thousand miles around had its material concept erased; not even a single grain of dust remained, revealing the pitch-black absolute void beneath.
Eyuan's pupils shrank to pinpricks.
Three epochs.
It had roamed the Taihuang Battlefield for three epochs, slaughtering over forty peers, and had only ever seen others tremble before it.
At this moment, it tasted an emotion it hadn't felt in so long it was almost foreign for the first time. Fear.
This pressure... something was wrong!
This wasn't the power of a Hunyuan-level!
"You—"
One word.
It only had time to utter one word.
Jiang Feng was already standing in front of it.
No displacement skills.
No spatial jumps.
No flashy, superfluous law-based acceleration.
It was purely the speed brought by his 120 Jian Physique—so fast that even a Hunyuan Supreme's divine sense couldn't catch an afterimage.
One moment he was a thousand miles away, the next he was right before its nose. It was as if he had always been standing there.
Jiang Feng raised his right fist.
The move was extremely crude, so simple it was almost plain.
Retract energy, sink power, follow the momentum and strike.
It was the most ordinary straight punch in the world.
Eyuan didn't even have time to activate its source laws for protection.
The last thing it managed to do in its life, in the instant before the fist fell, was to exhaust its lifelong cultivation to condense a barrier of Chaos Source.
The barrier was ten thousand zhang thick. Its density was sufficient to withstand the combined full-force strikes of ten peers.
This was the strongest measure an old monster who had fought for three epochs could produce in the face of death.
And then—the fist touched the barrier.
There was no sound.
There wasn't even time for a sound to be produced.
The barrier was gone.
Eyuan's chest cavity was gone.
The dark green Chaos Laws that had wreathed its body for three epochs were scattered in the void like cobwebs flicked by an invisible hand.
The entire being. From existence to non-existence. Zero point one seconds.

Killing a Hunyuan Supreme.
Getting ten Jian of attributes for free, plus a set of Hunyuan-level laws and a supernatural ability.
Fully automatic purification, fully automatic fusion, zero-cost gain.
This deal... was a massive profit.
...
Jiang Feng retracted his fist and lightly shook his wrist.
"Even a First-Yuan Realm opponent has more combat quality than you."
He muttered to himself, his tone flat and filled with disdain.
Then he stepped forward, continuing to walk ahead.
Deep in the wasteland, the aura of the second figure vibrated violently.
Eyuan's presence had completely vanished from her perception.
It hadn't been sealed, nor was it hiding. It had been physically erased from this world.
That was a female Supreme wielding a black war spear.
Dark silver chains of causality flowed around her body, each link engraved with obscure high-dimensional runes. The other ends of the chains connected to invisible destiny nodes in the void; with just these chains, she could strangle the divine souls of peers.
Hunyuan Fifth-Yuan Realm.
Two small realms higher than Eyuan. A top-tier old monster who had survived for three epochs on the Taihuang Battlefield.
The instant she sensed Eyuan's aura dissipate, she made an extremely correct judgment—turn around and run.
Without the slightest hesitation.
An existence that could live for three epochs in Taihuang had its survival instincts honed to the extreme. She understood one truth better than anyone: if someone could instantly kill a peer in the Third-Yuan Realm, you, a Fifth-Yuan Realm, should try rushing up? That wasn't called courage; that was called seeking death.
Her form exploded into a streak of dark silver light, fleeing at full speed toward the farthest edge of the battlefield.
The speed was extremely fast. So fast that the entire void was torn into a ten-thousand-mile-long spatial rift by her trajectory.
But—she hadn't run for even three breaths.
In the void ahead, a hand extended, plain and unremarkable. Five fingers opened. It clamped onto her face.
Jiang Feng was standing right in front of her as she fled at full speed.
His expression was no different from before—not even his breathing frequency had changed.
"Where are you running to?"
The female Supreme's eyes turned blood-red.
Driven by survival instinct, her causal chains surged madly; millions of dark silver iron chains shot out like living snakes, desperately constricting toward Jiang Feng's arm.
The moment they made contact, a harsh sound of metal breaking rang out.
It wasn't Jiang Feng's arm that broke. It was the chains.
The Hunyuan-level Causal Laws, the moment they touched Jiang Feng's skin—like fragile ice crystals meeting a branding iron—disintegrated, evaporated, and dissipated on their own.
Jiang Feng tightened his fingers.
Crack.
Like crushing a walnut.
[Ding! Killed Hunyuan Supreme: Ansuo (Fifth-Yuan Realm)!]
[Plunder all attributes: Converted to 15 Jian! Plunder: Causal Chain Law (Hunyuan-level)! Plunder: Exclusive supernatural ability [Fate Strangling]!]
[Current six-dimensional total attributes: 145 Jian!]
[10th Turn mission progress: 2/10]
...
When Xuanji had followed him here, even she herself didn't know.
She was tasked with long-range observation, and without being summoned, there was no reason to approach, yet her divine soul instinct compelled her body forward, completely beyond her control.
At this moment, she hovered ten thousand miles in the air, her cyan-gold dharma robes fluttering in the aftermath of the battlefield.
She gazed at the figure on the wasteland, and a panic she had never felt before rose in her heart—this person was not a chess piece, nor was he bait, nor was he any known being in the heavens.
She watched Jiang Feng walking across the wasteland.
It wasn't a battle or a campaign; it was just an ordinary walk.
His pace was calm and unhurried, leisurely and indifferent, as if he were not in a killing wasteland that buried all the Supremes of the heavens, but merely taking a casual stroll.
Yet, on the wasteland, any Hunyuan Supreme whose gaze he swept across could not escape the fate of destruction.
