Chapter 373
Luo Feng and Baikaluo
“The Nuolanshan Family?” Luo Feng smiled faintly. “I’ve been waiting for them for a long time.” Immediately, he recalled that two years and eight months ago, he had learned that the Nuolanshan Family forces were traveling through a wormhole, heading towards Earth! With such a long time having passed, Luo Feng was more than adequately prepared. “Full of confidence, aren’t we!” Babata’s teasing voice echoed through the spaceship. “By the way, Luo Feng, shouldn’t we be heading back to Earth now?” “No rush,” Luo Feng replied with a shake of his head and a smile. “The Golden Horn Behemoth is currently cultivating the ‘Original Body World’ technique and can’t stop yet. We’ll wait a bit. I’ll also take this opportunity to practice in the Killing Field’s Duel Space. It’s been a while since I’ve been there.” “The Killing Field’s Duel Space? Isn’t that too easy for you?” “It’s challenging when I fight opponents of higher tiers,” Luo Feng said with a smile, then sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe Network. ... In the Virtual Universe Network, within one of the Duel Spaces on Black Dragon Mountain Island’s Killing Field. It was an endless desert. Two men stood on the desert. One had green scales on his face, a pointed horn on his forehead, and two crossed battle blades on his back. He stared coldly at his opponent in the distance. His opponent was a handsome man in white battle robes, with long silver hair and silver eyes. “Baikaluo?” The silver-haired man sneered. “To dare to fight above your tier, I’ll show you the difference between a Universe Level Nine and a Universe Level Eight!” “Hmph,” the green-scaled man snorted, causing the silver-haired man’s expression to darken. Boom! Boom! The green-scaled man and the silver-haired man suddenly transformed into two streaks of light, colliding instantly. ... In a quiet room in the Killing Field. Nuolanshan, dressed in a dark green battle suit, was conversing with a man in a gray robe. Before them, a screen displayed the battle between the ‘green-scaled man’ and the ‘silver-haired man.’ “Baikaluo’s strength has improved significantly,” the gray-robed man, with narrow eyes and a smile, praised. “Baikaluo’s talent, perseverance, and comprehension are the best among my several disciples,” Nuolanshan said with a hint of pride. “Although I’ve earned the title of Giant Axe Warrior, even when I was at Universe Level Eight, I might not have had his current combat power.” “Such high praise?” The gray-robed man was surprised. “Then do you think he can win this battle?” “He can win!” Nuolanshan nodded. “His opponent is a Universe Level Nine,” the gray-robed man pointed out. “Just watch!” Nuolanshan was full of confidence. On the screen, the green-scaled man, Baikaluo, and his challenger were locked in a fierce and brutal struggle. Green gales swirled around Baikaluo, making him seem like a favored child of the wind. He spun like a top, his twin battle blades transforming into streaks of dazzling light, continuously slashing at the silver-haired man. The silver-haired man moved with incredible grace, white light radiating from his body like a miniature sun. He controlled a thread-like psychic weapon, constantly coiling it around Baikaluo. “Ten Blades!” The green-scaled man’s face was grim as he let out a low roar. The blade light instantly multiplied into ten streaks! “Fifty Blades!” Another low roar. The dazzling white blade light intensified, forming a lotus-like pattern, each streak a petal of the flower. Hiss~~~ A thread-like weapon danced wildly, repeatedly attacking Baikaluo. “Hundred Blades!!!” Baikaluo roared. “Rumble~~” Incredibly dazzling white blade lights instantly formed a towering tsunami, a giant wave composed of hundreds of white blade lights that completely engulfed the silver-haired man. His eyes filled with terror and disbelief, but with a *poof*, his entire body exploded. Baikaluo, his face covered in green scales, snorted coldly and vanished from the Duel Space. ... “Splendid!” The gray-robed man exclaimed with delight and excitement. “How about that? Didn’t I tell you?” Nuolanshan smiled. “It was indeed splendid. Your disciple is truly formidable,” the gray-robed man said, his face flushed with excitement. “His blade techniques and wind domain have perfectly merged. And his blade speed kept increasing, constantly accelerating! The longer the battle went on, the stronger his attacks became, ultimately crushing that Universe Level Nine!” “Indeed,” Nuolanshan nodded. “Baikaluo’s advantage is that his blade technique, as it accumulates through execution, becomes progressively stronger! However, his weakness is also evident… when the blade technique is first unleashed, its power isn’t particularly strong. If an opponent seizes that moment, they might be able to kill him!” “Haha, don’t be too critical! Your disciple uses dual blades, continuously. And with his wind domain, his movements are agile and flexible… it would be difficult to kill him at the start. Once his blade technique is fully unleashed, his opponent is finished,” the gray-robed man laughed. “Excellent, truly excellent.” “Will he pass?” Nuolanshan looked at him. “No problem! I’ll send this video to the Elder. I believe… listing Baikaluo as a ‘Special Elite’ for our Hundred Tiger Tower should be no issue,” the gray-robed man said with a smile. Nuolanshan’s smile widened. A moment later. Only Nuolanshan remained in the quiet room. “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” A knock sounded at the door. “Come in,” Nuolanshan called out. The door opened, revealing Baikaluo, shrouded in a black robe, and Dewen, the man with pointed ears, entering together. “Clan Ancestor (Teacher),” Dewen and Baikaluo bowed respectfully. “Mm.” Nuolanshan looked up at the two before him. Baikaluo’s face, covered in green scales beneath his black robe, made him appear very cold. Yet, the more Nuolanshan looked, the more he liked what he saw. “Baikaluo, I’ve just recommended you to the Hundred Tiger Tower to be cultivated as a ‘Special Elite’.” “Thank you, Teacher,” Baikaluo bowed slightly. “Mm.” Nuolanshan then looked at Dewen. “Dewen, you and Baikaluo should be nearing Earth now, correct?” “Clan Ancestor, we are very close to Earth now. We expect to arrive in three days,” Dewen’s eyes held a look of anticipation. After traveling for two years and eight months, he was naturally eager. “Very good,” Nuolanshan said, a little excited. “Baikaluo.” Nuolanshan looked at Baikaluo. “Teacher,” Baikaluo was very respectful to his teacher. “Remember, your primary objective when you go to Earth is… to obtain the Mechanical Race spaceship! So, do not alarm the people on Earth, and especially do not alarm Luo Feng. Prioritize acquiring the Mechanical Race spaceship!” Nuolanshan’s expression was very serious. “Once you have the Mechanical Race spaceship, then look for an opportunity. If one arises, eliminate Luo Feng.” “Yes!” Baikaluo and Dewen responded respectfully. “Go now, I await your good news,” Nuolanshan said with a smile. Baikaluo and Dewen immediately departed. ... Just as Baikaluo’s battle ended, in another Duel Space of the same Killing Field. “Break!” Luo Feng looked at his opponent. A golden swordfish drew a beautiful arc, immersing onlookers in its stunning beauty, before it had already swept past the opponent’s head. Madman, victorious! “Break!” Under the golden light-infused domain, the golden fish was incredibly excited. It leaped and danced, flicking its tail, instantly transforming into an incredibly elusive arc, easily finding a tiny gap in the seemingly impenetrable defense, directly piercing through and striking the opponent’s glabella. Madman, victorious! “Break!” “Break!” “Break!” ... In the Killing Field on Black Dragon Mountain Island, the name ‘Madman’ was very famous. ‘Madman’ was a super expert with a nine-star rating, and now he always fought opponents of higher tiers! Previously, as a Star Level Six Spirit Reader, he had already swept through all Star Level Six opponents. When he advanced to Star Level Seven Spirit Reader, he quickly reached a ‘nine-star rating’ in a very short time, not only invincible among his peers but also achieving over a 99% win rate even when fighting opponents of higher tiers. Incredibly terrifying! In the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, many factions had already noticed this peerless genius! Both the Four Great Organizations and the Two Great Holy Lands had extended invitations to this super genius… However, this genius named ‘Madman’ completely ignored them. “That’s enough, I’m done playing,” Luo Feng said with a slight smile, disappearing from the Duel Space. ... On Mars. Inside the spaceship, Luo Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes. “The Killing Field on Black Dragon Mountain Island really doesn’t offer much of a challenge,” Luo Feng mused. “What are you so proud of? You, with the Golden Horn Behemoth, possess a ‘Fourfold Domain,’ and you’ve even gained some insight into the Law of Origin of Gold. You should know… even in the Giant Axe Martial Arena, in a Universe Level life-and-death battle, if one person comprehends a trace of the Law of Origin of the Universe, they immediately win!” “You’ve comprehended a Law of Origin, and you’re in the Fourfold Domain realm!” “Most critically, your consciousness strength far surpasses opponents of the same tier, because your consciousness strength is that of the Golden Horn Behemoth.” “Domain, Law of Origin, consciousness strength—all incredibly powerful. Is it any wonder you’re invincible among your peers in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield?” “If you want to compare, compare yourself with the geniuses across the entire Ganwu Universe Nation, with the geniuses across the entire universe!” Babata, who couldn’t stand to see Luo Feng get complacent, often struck him down. Luo Feng grinned, then flew directly out of the spaceship and onto the surface of Mars. “Rumble~~~” In the distance, an incredibly massive beast, so huge it almost stretched beyond sight, covered in black scales, burst out of the ground! Its cold, tyrannical dark golden eyes looked at Luo Feng, and then this Starry Sky Behemoth vanished into thin air, entering Luo Feng’s Inner World. “The ‘Original Body World’ technique is truly difficult to cultivate!” “Fortunately, I acquired astonishing wealth in the World within a World, which allowed me to purchase those incredibly precious materials. No wonder many Golden Horn Behemoths only manage to cultivate the first level of ‘Original Body World’ in their entire lives,” Luo Feng sighed, shaking his head, then quickly flew back to the spaceship. Rumble~~~ The spaceship took off, leaving Mars, and headed back to Earth.
