The Might of a Single Blade

Zha Wei, Thousand Shadows Venerable, Tianhua Venerable, and Luo Feng—their divine powers had long since spread out, enveloping the divine hammer. The moment the blue divine hammer appeared, divine power from all four directions tried to penetrate it and claim ownership. However, just like when they fought to claim the 'Sealing Star,' everyone trying to claim it at once naturally failed. To imprint a life mark, one must do so individually and without interference. "Another scoundrel!" Tianhua Venerable roared. "All of you, scram!" "Dream on!" Thousand Shadows Venerable controlled a thousand illusions, enveloping Tianhua Venerable and hindering his advance. "Break!" Tianhua Venerable wielded the divine hammer, smashing the illusions until they dispersed. These scattered illusions were, in fact, a thousand flying blades, each as thin as a cicada's wing. Every blade bore law runes, and countless threads of law interconnected them, making the thousand blades act as a single entity. Although each flying blade was merely a treasure, their combined power, when stacked, was comparable to a High-tier Supreme Treasure! "Whoosh!" Luo Feng, diving down, instantly split into two. One was a burly figure still wreathed in black flames (a transformation of his Demon Killer Clan clone), while the other was Luo Feng himself, who had just shattered a world ring to emerge. Luo Feng had tens of thousands of such ordinary world rings prepared. After all, during a true battle, divine power fluctuations made it impossible to guide world energy. The fastest way to exit a world ring was simply to shatter that world. For Luo Feng, shattering a world required only a divine power fluctuation, which could directly cause the heavens and earth to collapse and the world to shatter. "Rumble~~~" Golden waves surged, instantly rushing forth to fill a vast area of the forest, transforming that section into a golden, surging river. Zha Wei, Thousand Shadows Venerable, and Tianhua Venerable naturally encountered the strong resistance of this golden river, and their speed sharply decreased. Furthermore, the nine exotic beasts within the endless golden river circled the divine hammer, then grabbed it and flew directly towards Luo Feng. Silence! Tianhua Venerable, Zha Wei, and Thousand Shadows Venerable, who had been exchanging blows, all stopped. In mid-air, nearly thirty alien Venerables stared blankly at the scene below. This turn of events was completely unexpected; they had all assumed the four powerhouses would engage in a bloody battle, never imagining that one side possessed a territory-type Supreme Treasure. "That is..." "The Nine Xia River!" "It's the Nine Xia River, Luo Feng's Nine Xia River!" "The territory-type Supreme Treasure, Nine Xia River! Luo Feng is here!" The alien Venerables, who had been in stunned silence in mid-air, quickly erupted in shock, all turning to look. Upon the surging golden river, a black-haired youth in silver armor with silver wings, a battle blade strapped to his back, stood smiling upon the waves. It was none other than Luo Feng of humanity! "Luo Feng!" "It's Luo Feng!" Tianhua Venerable, Zha Wei, and Thousand Shadows Venerable were all stunned. They had fought so fiercely, only for the legendary Luo Feng of humanity to reap the benefits in the end! The waves surged, and the nine exotic beasts circled, delivering the divine hammer into Luo Feng's hands. Luo Feng reached out and took the divine hammer, while his Demon Killer Clan clone had already entered a world ring. "You fought so fiercely; it seems cruel to let you celebrate for nothing, but I'm afraid I'll still be taking this Supreme Treasure." Luo Feng's divine body naturally repelled all external divine power, allowing him to easily claim ownership of the divine hammer before storing it in his world ring. "Quick, let's go!" "Let's leave." "It's Luo Feng. If we're slow, we're dead." The alien powerhouses in the sky quietly and swiftly fled. Even Thousand Shadows Venerable and Zha Wei exchanged glances. Luo Feng's reputation was simply too great; he had killed Universe Overlords before! Several Universe Overlords had fallen by his hand. No treasure, no matter how good, was as important as their lives, so they immediately and swiftly broke through the waves and flew far away. ... Ferocious might! This was true renown! The moment Luo Feng appeared, all the Universe Venerables, including the two Universe Overlords, immediately retreated and avoided him. Only the top-tier Universe Overlord, Tianhua Venerable, remained, standing in the surging waves of the Nine Xia River, glaring furiously at Luo Feng. "Luo Feng of humanity, how dare you show yourself on the Primal Star!" Tianhua Venerable roared. "Why wouldn't I dare?" Luo Feng chuckled softly, standing on the waves. He had anticipated that the moment he appeared, Tianhua Venerable and the other alien Venerables would likely immediately notify their respective factions. However... all of this was within his calculations. For this 'battle for renown,' Luo Feng had made ample preparations. "Good, very good." Tianhua Venerable bent at the waist, his blood-red single eye beneath his snow-white fur growing even more frenzied. "Those two scoundrels, Zha Wei and the others, might fear you, but in front of me, you're just a joke!" He was indeed not afraid of Luo Feng in the slightest. His life level was approximately 2000 times that of an ordinary being. In his view, even if Luo Feng had a life gene level of several thousand times, there wouldn't be much difference. What's more, his divine body was much larger than Luo Feng's; even if they fought a war of attrition, he would still have a significant advantage. "A joke?" Luo Feng gently grasped the hilt of the Blood Shadow Blade behind him, then drew it out, running his hand along the blade as he looked down at it. "I've killed Universe Overlords, but I haven't killed a top-tier Universe Overlord! I heard even Universe Masters find it difficult to kill a top-tier Universe Overlord... I want to try." "You, you want to kill me?" Tianhua Venerable's blood-red single eye widened dramatically, as if he had heard the biggest joke ever. "Yes, I want to kill you." Luo Feng nodded, his voice resounding, spreading directly outwards. Meanwhile, the alien Venerables who had already fled beyond the Nine Xia River's range silently watched from afar. As long as they maintained a sufficient distance from Luo Feng, they weren't afraid. And it seemed two top-tier Universe Overlords were about to battle; how could they miss such a spectacular fight? When they heard Luo Feng's words, all the alien Venerables, including Zha Wei and Thousand Shadows Venerable, were astonished. ... "Haha, what a joke, a complete joke! You dare to say you'll kill me just because you've killed a few Universe Overlords? Even a Universe Master wouldn't be confident, let alone you? Luo Feng of humanity, I'll show you just how powerful a true top-tier Universe Overlord is!" Tianhua Venerable roared, holding a divine hammer in each hand, striding forward as he rumbled directly towards Luo Feng. Luo Feng stood smiling, Blood Shadow Blade in hand. The alien Venerables in the sky, outside the Nine Xia River's range, including Zha Wei and Thousand Shadows Venerable, all watched intently. The distance between the two rapidly closed. 100,000 kilometers, 50,000 kilometers... "Hmph!" Luo Feng, who had been smiling, suddenly changed. His eyes filled with fierce light, and he instantly transformed into a beast god, charging forward like lightning. Previously calm as the sea, meeting his opponent with a smile, but once he erupted, he was like a volcanic eruption, becoming wild and irresistible, his aura even more powerful than his opponent's. The divine hammer tore through the air. The Blood Shadow Blade slashed out! "Boom!" The two clashed. Luo Feng retreated three steps consecutively, while Tianhua Venerable, who had charged wildly, was directly sent flying backward. However, he twisted his body in mid-air and stopped. "As expected of someone who can kill Universe Overlords, your strength is indeed greater than mine, but only marginally so! You can't even completely suppress me, haha..." Tianhua Venerable had long anticipated that Luo Feng would be slightly stronger than him, after all, Luo Feng could easily kill Universe Overlords, something Tianhua Venerable couldn't do. From this exchange, Tianhua Venerable quickly judged that his opponent was only slightly stronger than him. "Really?" Luo Feng, Blood Shadow Blade in hand, walked directly over, stepping on the golden waves. What he had just used was merely the Universe Overlord Ultimate Secret Technique, "Heavy Mountain," whose power was comparable to the secret technique Tianhua Venerable used. He only gained the upper hand due to his divine body and weapon advantages. "Haha, still want to fight? Let's see how many exchanges your divine body can endure!" Tianhua Venerable charged forward with large strides, holding twin hammers, and the space faintly trembled. Luo Feng's eyes, however, gleamed with coldness. That was just a warm-up, merely to carefully gauge Tianhua Venerable's strength. After judging from the exchange, he realized that even if he used the Universe Master Peak Secret Techniques "Golden Mountain" or "Golden River," he might not be able to kill his opponent in a short time. He had to use the Universe Master Ultimate Secret Technique, "Golden Light"! ... The number of alien Venerables in the sky had also increased, totaling over thirty, from various cosmic factions. Each intently watched this battle. However, Zha Wei directly said, "Top-tier Universe Overlords are powerful, and their divine bodies are also powerful. Luo Feng might gain the upper hand at most, but if they continue to fight, constantly consuming divine power, Luo Feng of humanity might instead fall—" His expression froze. All thirty-plus alien Venerables in the sky, who had been quietly discussing, were stunned, staring in shock at the scene unfolding below. Below. In the Nine Xia River, Luo Feng and Tianhua Venerable clashed instantly, and that golden light shone... dazzling golden light, blinding golden light, sharp and cold! "Bang!" Tianhua Venerable's divine hammer was directly struck by a blade and instead smashed into his own body. The incredible power contained within that single blade strike instantly impacted his High-tier Supreme Treasure armor, directly reaching its limit. Tianhua Venerable even faintly heard the armor's tremor. "How can he be so strong—" Tianhua Venerable's blood-red single eye was filled with shock and disbelief. "Rumble~~~~" Tianhua Venerable was directly sent flying, like a broken sandbag, utterly powerless to resist. His divine body trembled under this impact. "Lost 11%? How is that possible? Is he, is he a Universe Master? Has he already broken through to become a Universe Master?" Tianhua Venerable was completely stunned. Although his divine body after possession wasn't considered massive, it was still nearly 10 kilometers tall! A single blade strike caused him to lose 11% of his divine body; this was simply too outrageous. This, this is definitely something only a Universe Master can achieve! ... Back when Luo Feng killed Zhong Zhan Venerable, it took two strikes, with one strike causing him to lose over half of his divine body. Tianhua Venerable, like Zhong Zhan Venerable, possessed High-tier Supreme Treasure armor, but his divine power purity was 20 times that of Zhong Zhan Venerable! However, after Luo Feng advanced to Universe Venerable, his divine power purity was 100 times what it used to be! Moreover, his weapon had also changed from the Moon-Slaying Blade to the 'Top-tier Supreme Treasure weapon' Blood Shadow Blade, giving Luo Feng an even greater advantage. And in battles of this caliber, the defensive effect of High-tier Supreme Treasure armor was much weaker. Thus, with just one blade strike, he destroyed 11% of his divine body. ... The thirty-plus alien Venerables in mid-air were shocked to discover that Tianhua Venerable's aura had clearly weakened. The extent of the weakening was very clear—at least a tenth! "A single blade strike caused a top-tier Universe Overlord to lose nearly a tenth of his divine body?" They were completely shaken by this scene. This... this is definitely something only a Universe Master can achieve!
