Chapter 560: Chapter 560: A New Divine Authority

Suddenly,

From the scattered minced flesh, crimson flames surged once more.

Pieces of ruined meat began to writhe, swell, and reconstruct at terrifying speed.

One after another, clone forms of the False Crown rose from the remains.

In a single moment, the entire crimson domain was filled with over a hundred clones.

At the same time, the true False Crown’s real presence retreated far into the distance, its regenerated body emerging at the edge of the sealed world.

ROOOOOAR—!!!

An enraged roar tore from its throat, shaking the burning fog.

The realm itself began to tremble.

The solidified walls of flame shuddered, and the entire domain seemed to shift and contract as if the closed world were being forcibly moved or restructured under the calamity’s will.

Then—

All one hundred clones lunged at once.

A tidal wave of flame-wreathed beasts poured toward Li Feng from every direction, claws extended, jaws open, tails lashing with destructive force.

The sealed crimson world became a storm of converging killing intent.

But Li Feng remained calm.

His figure flickered.

A clone’s claw swept through empty air as he stepped lightly to the side, dark cloak trailing behind the motion.

SPLURT!

In the same breath, his fingers brushed past another beast’s neck and the clone’s head slid free before its body even realized it had been cut.

SPLURT!

He turned, ducked under a sweeping tail, and drove an open palm into a third clone’s chest; absolute cutting force bloomed from the contact point and reduced the entire torso to collapsing fragments.

His movements were fluid, almost leisurely.

There was no wasted step, no panicked acceleration... only precise, efficient motion.

Each time a clone entered his range, a silent line of darkness would flash, and another incomplete beast would fall apart mid-charge.

He weaved through the storm of over a hundred attackers like a dark needle threading through chaos, leaving a trail of dismembered clones and dispersing flames in his wake.

Yet through it all, his empty eyes never left the original False Crown.

Amid the chaos of regenerating clones and swirling crimson fog, the true body remained at the edge of the domain, its presence distinct from the lesser copies.

The False Crown’s burning gaze met his for a brief instant, then it gritted its fangs in frustration.

CRACK!

A spatial rift tore open behind it.

Without hesitation, the original False Crown turned and lunged into the crack, clearly intending to escape the sealed world it had created.

Li Feng’s lips curved into a cold sneer.

"Oh no you don’t..."

"[Sever – Bloom]."

Black energy exploded outward from his body in a wide arc in every direction.

Invisible lines of cutting force erupted all around him at once, expanding like a dark flower blooming across the entire surrounding area.

SPLURT!

SPLURT!

SPLURT!

The charging clones, the regenerating scraps, and even the residual flame constructs in his immediate vicinity were all sliced apart simultaneously, reduced to countless neat fragments that scattered through the burning fog.

Even as those pieces began twitching with the first signs of regeneration once more, Li Feng’s figure had already vanished from the center of the massacre.

In the next instant, he shot straight toward the spatial rift the original False Crown had fled into, dark cloak streaming behind him as he pursued without the slightest hesitation.

The moment Li Feng crossed the threshold, the crimson domain behind him vanished.

What unfolded ahead was an entirely different expanse... a floating, fractured dimension suspended in boundless void.

Irregular platforms of blackened stone and solidified flame drifted slowly through the emptiness, connected by thin bridges of unstable spatial light.

The original False Crown’s massive form was already racing ahead across the drifting platforms, its nine blazing tails whipping behind it as it leapt from one floating island to the next.

Li Feng’s figure flashed after it.

In this place there was no spiritual energy, so he could not fly, but he had enough stored star energy to make do.

Whenever the False Crown smashed a bridge behind it in an attempt to slow pursuit, Li Feng simply stepped through the empty air, residual stellar authority briefly firming the void beneath his feet long enough for him to continue.

The chase stretched deeper into the floating dimension.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Platforms shattered.

Crimson rivers were split apart by the False Crown’s passage.

Distant void storms twisted in their wake.

Yet no matter how the calamity twisted through the fractured space, the dark-cloaked figure remained behind it... never rushed, never shaken, and closing the distance with the calm certainty of a blade that had already decided where it would fall.

Then Li Feng’s figure suddenly burst into silvery light.

The residual power of the sacrificed stars flared around him, wrapping his form in a cold, radiant brilliance that stood in sharp contrast to the dark cloak trailing behind him.

Sensing the abrupt surge, the fleeing False Crown snapped its head upward mid-run—

Only to find Li Feng already above it, one palm spread wide open.

[Sever – Falling Lotus].

SLASH!

An absolute cutting force descended from his open hand like a silent judgment.

SPLURT!

In the next instant, the False Crown’s newly regenerated head was sliced into countless precise pieces, the fragments exploding outward in a spray of crimson fire and ruined flesh before they could even begin to reform.

But Li Feng was not done.

The moment the head was destroyed, his figure rushed straight downward.

His fist, still wrapped in silvery light and black severance, smashed into the headless torso with crushing force.

BOOM!

At the point of impact, more cutting authority was released... this time from within the calamity’s body.

[Sever – Internal Bloom].

Invisible blades erupted inside the colossal frame.

SLASH!

SLASH!

SLASH!

The False Crown’s body convulsed violently as countless absolute cuts carved through it from the inside out, tearing muscle, flame, and bone apart in a chaotic, merciless frenzy.

The massive form thrashed and twisted under the internal onslaught, unable to stabilize or regenerate properly.

At the same time, Li Feng’s earlier slash had already carved a deep spatial crack beneath them.

As the ruined head finished exploding into scattered pieces, both figures... the dark-cloaked man and the convulsing, headless body of the False Crown plunged downward into the newly severed rift.

In the next breath, they fell back into the crimson realm.

The moment Li Feng’s figure reappeared within the sealed domain, the waiting clones struck.

Over a hundred incomplete beasts, still filling the burning fog, opened their maws in unison and unleashed a concentrated barrage of destructive crimson beams.

The combined blasts flooded the space from every direction, forming a cage of pure annihilation meant to erase him the instant he returned.

Li Feng did not panic.

Still falling through the air with the convulsing remains of the original False Crown, he simply expanded the [Starfield] around his body.

The invisible stellar boundary unfolded in an instant.

Every incoming beam that entered the field was forcibly diverted.

The destructive light bent and sheared away along the curvature of the star domain, redirected outward in elegant arcs that slammed into the surrounding clones and the walls of the crimson realm instead.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Not a single strand of the coordinated barrage touched him as he continued his controlled descent, dark cloak and residual silvery light trailing behind him amid the redirected chaos.

At that moment, the original False Crown forced its regeneration to completion once more.

A new head surged into existence atop the convulsing body, the three crimson orbs flaring with concentrated killing intent as its maw opened wide.

Destructive energy far denser than before, laced with a true lethal Blessing, began compressing inside its throat for a point-blank annihilation blast.

Li Feng saw it... and smiled.

"...Blossom."

The lingering network of [Sever] he had already released inside the incomplete calamity’s body activated in full.

Then absolute cutting force erupted from within.

SPLURT!

In the next instant, the False Crown’s colossal torso exploded from the inside out.

The violent internal severance tore through every vital connection just as the lethal blast was about to fire, causing the newly regenerated head to be blasted sideways by the force of its own body’s collapse.

Before the False Crown could even attempt another regeneration cycle, Li Feng flicked his fingers once more.

And another silent line of darkness flashed.

SPLURT!

The sideways-flying head exploded again, reduced to scattered fragments of flesh, shattered crown pieces, and dying crimson light mid-air.

Li Feng’s figure flashed once more.

In the next instant, he landed lightly some distance away within the crimson domain.

His cloak settled around him as the residual silvery light of the sacrificed stars gradually faded from his form.

"Hmm... Should still be enough," Li Feng murmured as he looked at his hand, sensing that he had expended the borrowed star energy a bit faster than expected.

Meanwhile all around him, he could see the remaining clones moved with clear wariness.

And Li Feng simply stood there and watched them, expression calm, as if observing a pack of slightly more careful animals.

His empty eyes shifted past the surrounding clones and locked onto the distant presence of the original False Crown, which was already attempting to reconstruct itself once more amid the scattered remains.

"...That’s six."

His quiet murmur drifted through the burning fog as he decided that it is time.

"...This should be enough to separate them."

There was still something he wanted to confirm... something that he had not been able to do in the past, and this might be an opportunity to confirm it personally.

Without further explanation, Li Feng brought his palms together in front of his chest.

The residual black energy of [Sever] around his body gradually stilled, replaced by a different, deeper fluctuation... one that felt far more personal, far more invasive.

Crack...

Crack...

The air around him grew heavy, as if something that had been watching him from within was finally being acknowledged.

His eyes lowered slightly in concentration.

The Divine Authority that had continued to obsess over him even in this time and place... began to stir.

"It time to end all of this..."

And then he called out its name.

"...[Ego]."
