X-Dragon Era-Chapter 485 352-354: Return to the Ethereal_4
Of course, this second battle should not have begun yet, and once the second battle begins, this guy will truly emerge into the world. To protect his children, he has no choice but to come out of hiding. Yet, despite all this, he still couldn't save his children's lives. No matter how strong he was, in the end, it was his strength alone, not his children's. In constant battle, his children fell one by one before his eyes, and in the end... this guy finally embarked on the path of the God of Slaughter, against the world, against humanity!
Luo Fu is a tragic character. With his volatile temperament, he found it difficult to interact with others. It took so much for him to find a girl who loved him and whom he loved in return, and then she was killed.
After his wife died, Luo Fu devoted himself to caring for his children. For ten years, he played the role of both father and mother and raised his seven children. Yet, he still couldn't prevent the withering of his children one by one, and what was more painful was that his children died in front of him, struck down before his very eyes, a feeling unimaginable to others.
Eventually, after the death of his seven children, Luo Fu finally stepped onto the path of the God of Slaughter. The impact of his seven children dying one after another had unsettled his mind, turning him into a being who thrived on killing, and nearly every year, several cities would be destroyed by his hands.
At first, it wasn't too bad. Though he was bloodthirsty, his power was only at the Purple Crystal stage, and he could still be stopped. However, as time went on, this guy's breakthrough to the Diamond stage made his threat excessively large, basically at the level of a Demon King. In the end... the Nine Great Experts could not stand by and watch. Heeding everyone's request, they joined forces to take action!
After tracking him for over a year and clashing in over thirty battles, Luo Fu was finally killed at Great Dome Mountain. During that year of pursuit, hundreds of cities were destroyed in the mayhem between Luo Fu and the host of experts, demonstrating just how fierce the fighting was at that time.
Luo Fu wasn't a King Level expert, but everyone believed he was the closest to being one. Just imagine, it took the Nine Great Experts joining forces, fighting hard for over a year, through more than thirty conflicts, to finally take him down. In the whole world, only Luo Fu had such power.
When Xin Yun thought of that face filled with a murderous aura just now, his first instinct was to dismiss the idea. God of Slaughter was, after all, the God of Slaughter, and not something that ordinary people could control. However, Xin Yun suddenly remembered that this guy's seven children were still alive. For the sake of his children... he was willing to live in seclusion, so surely, for their sake, he would be willing to help.
Of course, what Xin Yun was asking wasn't for Luo Fu to join them. Although Xin Yun had considered it, the likelihood was slim. However... for Xin Yun, as long as Luo Fu was willing to help him for ten years, then everything would be fine. In ten years' time, Xin Yun and the others would have the capacity to face any problem, even a Diamond stage expert, without issue!
Xin Yun's capital was that, by using the Kongtong Seal, he could grant Luo Fu's seven children the gift of eternal life. However, given Luo Fu's pride and madness, it was utterly impossible to get him to join. On the contrary... it was more likely for Xin Yun and his companions to become Luo Fu's subordinates.
All through the night, Xin Yun repeatedly contemplated the attractions and consequences, carefully considering each step. If he could really enlist Luo Fu's help, it would be fantastic. With this guy on their side, they might not be able to avoid the ambitions of the large gangs and organizations, but suppressing the small groups and individual troublemakers would be a breeze, even to the point of underutilization.
Xin Yun pondered until daybreak, and only then did he fall asleep. The next morning, after a simple breakfast, Xin Yun and his three companions made arrangements for Mother Lan and Master Xi Ming, among others, before departing from the realm within the pot.
Originally, Xin Yun had planned to go alone, but since they had many things to accomplish in one trip, everyone's presence was essential.

With the Tai Chi Diagram, traveling was much less tiring. They could span the distance of tens of thousands of miles in a mere instant. Taking turns, Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, Ming Xuan, and Xin Yun crossed innumerable miles within a minute.
Essentially, the four of them would directly cross from one Golden Bridge to the next, continuously on the move... entirely relying on space folding to advance. Although the distance of the folds was short, the relentless folding by the four proved to be quite efficient.
However, activating the golden bridges of the Tai Chi Diagram to fold space required a substantial amount of energy. Yet, despite this cost, with their current strength, they reached the colossal city millions of miles away, Ethereal City, just as their energy was exhausted.
Ethereal City is a very peculiar city, built upon a large mountain. From the mountain's base, a city was constructed around the range, then another hundred meters up, another city was built in a similar fashion, and so on, in nine circles all the way to the peak, which featured a huge platform, ten kilometers in diameter.
For Ming Xuan, Ethereal City was not too unfamiliar, as it was his first time here, but for Xin Yun, Yi Luo Xiang, and Yan Qingying, the place held a completely different significance.
Ten or so years ago, Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang had just left Sensing Tower Mountain City and arrived here, where they successfully spent 1000 Gold Coins to purchase Yan Qingying. Thinking back, it all felt like it happened only yesterday.
