Chapter 1385
A Thousand Eyes
The sixth level of Wuqilou.
The moment Luo Feng appeared, he surveyed his surroundings. It was a world of mountains and hills, equally vast and boundless.
“Just survive... and you will have passed this sixth level! You can then enter the seventh level, Warrior Yinhe. You are very close to reaching the summit of Wuqilou...” An ancient voice echoed through the sky.
Luo Feng smiled faintly.
“Just survive?”
“Such a low requirement?”
“It seems this level will be incredibly difficult then.”
Boom~~ In the mountainous and hilly world, far from Luo Feng, a vast area suddenly began to tremble, as if some colossal creature was about to emerge from beneath the earth. The ground arched, cracked, and bulged, with massive amounts of shattered rocks and soil collapsing and rolling outwards. Gradually, a dark green shadow began to rise from the depths.
“There really is a behemoth emerging from underground?” Luo Feng murmured softly.
The dark green colossal creature rumbled forth from beneath the earth, appearing on the surface.
It was hideously ugly, somewhat resembling a dark green toad, but every inch of its skin was covered in eyes. A quick glance suggested at least several hundred.
“Roar~~” The strange beast let out an enraged roar, tilting its head back.
Blinding!
Every single eye on its body erupted with a golden light. Streaks of golden light shot out in all directions, yet they only traveled a hundred million kilometers before dissipating.
“A thousand eyes.” Based on the golden light, Luo Feng instantly determined the number of eyes on the strange beast before him.
After letting out a howl, the Thousand-Eyed strange beast finally turned its gaze to Luo Feng. Most of its eyes focused on him, and its voice, like thunder, reverberated through the heavens and earth: “It has been so, so long. I have finally emerged once more. Warrior, I will deal with you very, very slowly. The longer you endure... the happier I will be. It is so rare to encounter a living being on the sixth level of Wuqilou.”
Luo Feng chuckled.
“The longer I endure, huh?”
His divine body now reached a height of a hundred million kilometers. With such a colossal divine body, and having extensively plundered treasures on the third level—especially after the death of that plant-life warrior, acquiring a trove of mechanical-type supreme treasures—he could unleash extremely powerful combat strength by utilizing these treasures effectively.
“To make me unable to survive, when my only requirement is to live, that will be quite difficult,” Luo Feng mused inwardly.
“Roar~~~”
The Thousand-Eyed strange beast suddenly tilted its head back and let out an earth-shattering roar. Immediately after, the surrounding ground began to float upwards in vast landmasses. Each landmass was a hundred million kilometers in diameter, and at a glance, there were easily a thousand such landmasses. These landmasses then rapidly compressed and condensed, transforming into black battle blades.
Each battle blade was approximately 300,000 kilometers long.
A thousand battle blades hovered in the void, and the Thousand-Eyed strange beast looked at Luo Feng: “Warrior, I hope you live long enough!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...
A thousand black battle blades, like a military formation, whistled as they flew towards Luo Feng.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng frowned.
Troublesome.
The most difficult opponents to deal with were those who controlled a large number of psychic weapons. If it were just one, that would be fine, but a thousand! One must understand that when a powerful being controls a psychic weapon, to make it unleash its strongest combat power, they generally need to exert their full effort in controlling it. Therefore, they usually only control one.
If they controlled ten or a hundred, it would only weaken the power of each, making it less effective than simply controlling a single psychic weapon!
Only in special cases, like Luo Feng, who possessed multiple clones, could one naturally split their consciousness into several, with each consciousness unleashing its strongest combat power.
Or like this Thousand-Eyed strange beast, which was naturally capable of splitting into a thousand consciousnesses, each able to unleash its strongest combat power.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...
Blade shadows, swift as lightning, a thousand of them, instantly enveloped the sky above Luo Feng, then plunged downwards, leaving Luo Feng nowhere to escape.
As Luo Feng parried the first blade shadow, the other 999 battle blades had already encircled him from all directions, trapping Luo Feng within a blade formation.
“Clang!”
Luo Feng unleashed his movement technique, wielding his Blood Shadow Blade. In an instant, his entire being seemed to transform into a colossal blade shadow. With a clang, he collided with one of the battle blades, then used the momentum to swiftly retreat. However, after being repelled, the black battle blade relentlessly pursued, and the other surrounding black battle blades also lunged at Luo Feng.
“This is truly troublesome,” Luo Feng gritted his teeth. “The difference between psychic weapons and powerful beings is... psychic weapons move faster than powerful beings!”
“However, for me, this is utterly useless.”
Luo Feng began to fully unleash his movement technique.
For him, such a large-scale encirclement was meaningless. If the attacks were to converge collectively, Luo Feng might fear and flee. But merely being surrounded... only ten or eight battle blades could attack him simultaneously at any given moment, so Luo Feng naturally had no fear.
...
“Of the fifth, sixth, and seventh levels, this sixth level is probably the easiest for Warrior Yinhe,” the Black Mist Commander remarked, gazing at the light screen. “Warrior Yinhe's movement technique is the most astonishing aspect about him to us. And this sixth level primarily tests movement techniques!”
“Many have passed the sixth level before, and Warrior Yinhe's movement technique is stronger than theirs, so he will naturally pass more easily,” the silver-armored female commander chuckled softly. “I'm just wondering to what extent Warrior Yinhe can force the Thousand-Eyes to exert itself.”
The burly commander beside her also nodded: “Warrior Yinhe is so relaxed, the Thousand-Eyes will surely feel humiliated and will continuously intensify its attacks until Warrior Yinhe is completely suppressed and unable to resist. Only then will it stop.”
“I bet! The Thousand-Eyes will have to unleash its Thousand-Eyed Heart Light to defeat Warrior Yinhe,” said the evil strange beast commander seated on the far right.
...
Luo Feng was indeed very relaxed.
Back then, to hone his movement technique, Luo Feng had exhausted every method within the 'virtual space' of the inheritance realm, sparring with countless super-experts from past generations within that virtual space. Among them, there were naturally those who controlled a multitude of psychic weapons! Even opponents like the Third Ancestor, Luo Feng had tested and sparred against... what could he possibly not have seen?
His movement technique had battle strategies for close combat, for psychic weapons, and for binding-type weapons!
“Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!”...
The figure, besieged by a thousand battle blades, had completely transformed into a blurry blade shadow. This blade shadow continuously collided with other battle blades, producing crisp clanging sounds. Almost every time, it was the Blood Shadow Blade clashing with the surrounding battle blades. Occasionally, Luo Feng's divine body would collide... Regardless, he had to strive to maintain the optimal situation for himself.
“If this continues, even for an epoch, you won't be able to do anything to me,” Luo Feng glanced at the Thousand-Eyed strange beast in the distance.
The Thousand-Eyed strange beast exerted its utmost control.
Seeing this situation, how could it not know that its opponent was relaxed? It was also astonished; since being here, Luo Feng was the warrior with the strongest movement technique it had ever encountered, and it seemed that this warrior's limits hadn't even been pushed yet.
“Insignificant warrior!” The Thousand-Eyed strange beast roared.
Immediately, the method by which the thousand battle blades besieged Luo Feng changed. Previously, the battle blades had attacked one by one, which could only be considered simple coordination.
But now!
Once they moved, ten battle blades acted in unison. In an instant, the thousand battle blades were divided into a hundred groups. The ten battle blades within each group coordinated skillfully, causing their combined power to surge by more than tenfold... In an instant, the previously relaxed Luo Feng became discomfited.
“What kind of strange beast is this?”
“A thousand consciousnesses, each acting independently? And each blade technique is so powerful.” Luo Feng also grew more frantic, resisting with all his might, not merely dodging and evading, but also attacking.
When Luo Feng's movement technique truly erupted with full power, this was how it looked!
Sometimes dodging, sometimes attacking.
Perfectly combining attacks, dodges, and leveraging momentum—this was the ultimate movement technique.
For a moment, it was as if heaven and earth were collapsing.
Rumble~~~
The blade techniques of 'Path of Nine Heavens' were frequently unleashed. With each strike, the surrounding battle blades were directly torn apart and blasted away, causing the thousand-blade formation to become increasingly chaotic.
“Rumble~~~” Wherever Luo Feng passed, he tore, blasted, and destroyed, combined with his dodging and leveraging of momentum, he completely gained the upper hand.
...
“I was wrong,” the evil strange beast commander exclaimed, watching the light screen. “Even if the Thousand-Eyes unleashes its 'Thousand-Eyed Heart Light,' it won't be able to defeat Warrior Yinhe. Before, he was merely dodging in combat. I never expected him to be able to integrate blade techniques into his movement technique, elevating it to this level of mastery.”
Attack is the best defense.
A powerful attack can make dodging and leveraging momentum ten or even a hundred times easier.
However, a single mistaken attack can lead to a nightmare.
Therefore, integrating attacks into movement techniques is extremely difficult, requiring vast experience and exceptional talent to forge and create such a set of techniques. Even Luo Feng himself was immensely proud of creating this top-tier movement technique during those over 8 million epochs. Judging from the achievements of Duan Dong River's past inheritors...
Luo Feng felt that his comprehension ability was indeed exceptionally high.
“It's unleashing the Thousand-Eyed Heart Light.”
“The Thousand-Eyes is being pushed to its limit,” the four commanders said to each other.
“Indeed, even with the Thousand-Eyed Heart Light unleashed, the Thousand-Eyes only holds a slight advantage. It simply cannot defeat Warrior Yinhe,” the burly commander stated. “Warrior Yinhe's movement technique... at the Law Master level, is already absolutely invincible and perfect.”
...
Within the mountainous and hilly world of Wuqilou's sixth level.
“Warrior, you are indeed formidable. I cannot defeat you. You are truly the strongest warrior I have ever encountered... Perhaps you can reach the summit of Wuqilou.” The dark green Thousand-Eyed strange beast suddenly burrowed, rumbling directly into the earth, disappearing from Luo Feng's sight.
The thousand battle blades around Luo Feng instantly transformed into countless streaks of light, flying directly into the distance, then crashing down to become hills.
Luo Feng, however, let out a sigh of relief.
“Truly insane.”
“A thousand battle blades, a single mind.” Luo Feng murmured, “His unleashed energy was always comparable to mine, yet he could ultimately erupt to this level.”
Luo Feng also understood.
It wasn't that he was weak, but that his opponent was very strong.
The opponent was merely maintaining this level of energy; its true identity might very well be a Void True God!
Just then—
A pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping Luo Feng. In an instant, Luo Feng vanished from the sixth level world of Wuqilou.
