Chapter 478: Death of the Venerable
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fiends were the public enemy of cultivators. Even in the chaotic North River Galaxy, fiends were loathed by everyone.
No one would have thought that these four cultivators were really fiends!
“You…”
Even Venerable Oceanus’s expression changed drastically. He knew the danger of fiends very well. Moreover, once one was known to be colluding with fiends in the North River Galaxy, they could forget about doing anything in the future.
This could also be considered an “unspoken rule”. Those who colluded with fiends were the public enemy of cultivators!
“Oceanus, I didn’t expect you to dare to collude with fiends.”
Venerable Vigil sneered. This time, Venerable Oceanus was finished. With such a crime, it would be hard for him to accomplish anything in the North River Galaxy in the future.
“Damn the four of you, you are actually fiends!”
Venerable Oceanus’s face was ashen, and he was incomparably furious. He had suffered heavy losses this time, and had actually been severely injured. He did not expect that the four new cultivators he recruited would actually be fiends. This was simply adding insult to injury.
Actually, it did not matter if they were fiends. Venerable Oceanus was someone ambitious and ruthless. What was a slightly flawed reputation worth? He did not care about such reputation compared to tangible benefits.
If they could get rid of Venerable Vigil, even if those four people were fiends, Venerable Oceanus could tolerate it. At most, he would banish them after the matter was over. He’d have a legitimate reason for it too.
However, the key was that the four of them did not get the job done. Venerable Vigil was not dead. Then, the gains did not make up for the losses.
Their identities were exposed, and the aura on their bodies was still rising to greater heights. Although the millstone had been crushed by Lin Feng, it quickly condensed again.
Despite seeing that Lin Feng had ruined their plan, they did not attack Lin Feng. What a joke. Even if they were furious, they remained very calm.
Fiends who were incapable of staying calm would be long dead, and would never have survived until now.
“Retreat!”
The four cultivators immediately retreated. It seemed like they were retreating, but when they retreated to Venerable Oceanus’s side, the four of them erupted with terrifying power again. A huge millstone crushed down hard.
It was too fast, so fast that Lin Feng and Venerable Vigil did not even have time to react. These four people were too ruthless. They attacked Venerable Oceanus directly.
Venerable Oceanus bellowed repeatedly, “How dare you!”
Venerable Oceanus was incomparably furious. Did these people think he was a pushover?
“Die!”
These four fiends had indeed regarded Venerable Oceanus as the weakest Venerable here, and he had been severely injured. Since their plan had failed this time, they had to at least collect some interest.
Hence, Venerable Oceanus became their target.
These were fiends, ruthless and savage, without the slightest trace of humanity.
The four fiends were too fast. Even Venerable Oceanus could not defend himself in time. He could only use his combat body to resist it head-on.
Boom.
When the huge millstone crushed down, Venerable Oceanus’s expression changed drastically. At this moment, he felt as if his combat body was on the verge of collapse.
He had tested the strength of the four fiends before, but they were only equivalent to ordinary Venerables. How did their strength in this strike increase by so much?
The four fiends naturally had a trump card, and they had held back before. Fiends concealed themselves in the dark. How could they expose their trump card so easily?
Venerable Oceanus roared. Venerable Vigil frowned. Even if he wanted to help, it was too late.
Venerable Oceanus’s combat body quickly collapsed. Then, the mouths of the four fiends seemed to have transformed into four black holes. They sucked hard and divided Venerable Oceanus’s combat body, swallowing it.
A dignified Oceanus, an advanced planetary lifeform with seven life transitions, and his billions of years of ascetic cultivation had all been for naught now. Venerable Oceanus had died just like that, caught off guard. Even Venerable Vigil was slightly stunned. After fighting with Venerable Oceanus for thousands of years, he had died just like that, and his corpse had been devoured by the four demons.
For a moment, even Venerable Vigil felt a sense of lament in the depths of his heart.
All fiends deserved to die!
“Delicious, truly delicious!”
“The taste of being an advanced planetary cultivator is simply indescribable. We’ve never devoured a Venerable before, right?”
“Haha, I’ve long wanted to devour this Oceanus. If such a foolish Dominus doesn’t deserve to be devoured, who does?”
“I even feel like I’m about to undergo metamorphosis…”
After these four fiends devoured Venerable Oceanus, their auras all soared. One of the fiends was even about to undergo metamorphosis.
Once he metamorphosed, he would become an advanced planetary lifeform, and a genuine Venerable!
Such was the nature of fiends. They imitated devouring lifeforms, and so did not have to comprehend Laws, or the essence of life. They did not need to spend much effort to undergo life transitions.
This was because as long as they continued to devour and make enough accumulations, they could undergo metamorphosis!
This was also the reason that while fiends were loathed by all, they continued to emerge despite repeated prohibitions. Their way of cultivation was just too convenient. There would always be people willing to take the risk.
“Since the plan has failed, there’s no need for us to hide ourselves anymore. Brothers, let’s eat to our hearts’ content today, haha.”
The four fiends all emitted monstrous auras and quickly retreated. Their speed was so fast that even Lin Feng and Venerable Vigil could not react in time.
“They escaped?”
Many people were still looking at each other. The original 14 commanders of the Oceanus Domain all had grim expressions now, not knowing what to do. After such a upheaval, even their Dominus was dead. What else could they do? Could they continue to risk their lives?
Venerable Vigil had been a Dominus for so many years. Although he was not as ambitious as Venerable Oceanus, he knew how to win over people’s hearts. These 14 commanders were planetary-level cultivators. Their strength was decent, and they were worth roping in.
Hence, Venerable Vigil said to the 14 commanders of the Oceanus Domain, “Venerable Oceanus is already dead. You are the commanders of the Oceanus Domain. I believe you all know that in the North River Galaxy, once the Dominus is dead, these territorial planets belong to the victor. From today onwards, the Oceanus Domain will become a part of the Vigil Domain. Those of you who are willing to stay behind will still be commanders, but you will be the commanders of Vigil Domain! You can make your decision.”
This was how things worked in the North River Galaxy. The weak were prey to the strong. When war broke out between two domains, the winner would take all.
“I’m willing to follow Venerable Vigil.”
“I’m willing too.”
“Respects to Venerable Vigil.”
There were a total of 14 commanders, but none of them chose to leave. All of them were willing to follow Venerable Vigil. This was not to say that they were disloyal. In reality, these commanders were all planetary lifeforms that dominated a region. How could they really be as loyal to anyone as mortals?
They were just doing their jobs and obeying orders. This was also the general rule of the North River Galaxy. As long as Venerable Oceanus was alive, they could keep fighting to the death. Once Venerable Oceanus was dead, they would naturally want to protect their interests. Following Venerable Vigil would be the best choice.
After all, if they left to join the other Domini, they would have to start over from scratch, and they would have to spend a long time adapting to the domain again. It was not worth it.
If Venerable Vigil died one day, his subordinates would most likely make the same choice as well.

“Very well. All of you may follow me…”
Venerable Vigil was very satisfied, but at this moment, a dazzling light actually rose in the distant cosmos. However, the light dimmed in the blink of an eye, as if it would shatter at any moment.
The expressions of the commanders of the Oceanus Domain changed drastically. They immediately shouted, “Dominus, that’s the array of our Oceanus Domain. Someone is attacking the array of our Oceanus Domain!”
Venerable Vigil and Lin Feng looked at each other, their expressions turning very solemn. They had both thought of a possibility.
Fiends. It must be those four fiends. They actually had not fled. Instead, they had gone to the Oceanus Domain. They wanted to devour the entire Oceanus Domain, while all the experts above the planetary level in the Oceanus Domain were away!
