Chapter 376

Blade Clan

Silently, the black robe on Baikalou's body rapidly melted into him like flowing water, revealing his fierce, almost monstrous physique. He wore a set of cyan alloy combat armor, its scales overlapping in layers. His face was covered in cyan scales, and he had no hair, only a cyan scalp. On his forehead was a slightly curved, blade-like horn! His entire body, from head to toe, was cyan! On his back, he carried two crossed combat blades! "Clang!" A lightning-fast lateral movement created an illusory afterimage, and simultaneously, his combat blades instantly struck the silver blade light, sharply reducing its speed. ... In the spaceship control room, Luo Feng could clearly observe the battle between the two through the external virtual display. When Baikalou revealed his true appearance, Luo Feng was startled. "Blade Clan!" the demon Babata exclaimed from the spaceship's control panel screen. "Blade Clan?" Luo Feng asked, surprised. "Yes, the Blade Clan. This person should be Baikalou, Nuolanshan's strongest disciple," the little demon said, bouncing on the screen. "There's detailed information about the Blade Clan on the Virtual Universe Network." "The Blade Clan is a race that deeply reveres strength. In their earliest days, the Blade Clan's planet was an indigenous world! Yet, when cosmic civilization nations discovered them, they found that this indigenous planet actually harbored one Domain Lord and twelve Universe-level powerhouses... Blade Clan members reach Planet-level upon adulthood. It's an incredibly powerful planet. Because they hadn't developed technology, they lacked spaceships, so the Blade Clan remained on their home planet. However, after integrating into the cosmos, the Blade Clan rapidly rose. Even before joining the cosmic community, the Blade Clan had a tradition of 'adventurous training,' where every adult member would venture across their planet. After entering the cosmos, every adult member now ventures into the universe, undergoing life-and-death training! Blade Clan members rarely seek power or pleasure; they all pursue the path of strength. Some apprentice under super powerhouses, others join various forces to learn secret techniques... This has led to the emergence of many super powerhouses within the Blade Clan! In the Blade Clan's history, there have been Undying Beings and Sector Lords. Thus, the Blade Clan is quite renowned among the cosmic human race," Babata explained in detail. "Oh?" Luo Feng was somewhat surprised. "Reaching Planet-level upon adulthood isn't considered an exceptionally strong bloodline among humans. However, the Blade Clan's great renown comes from their character!" Babata continued, "It's their resolute and unyielding belief in striving to become stronger. This inherent belief is what gives birth to so many powerhouses." ... While Luo Feng marveled at the Blade Clan, in the starry sky, the Universe-level Ninth-tier powerhouse Difan and Baikalou were locked in an incredibly fierce battle. Difan stood in the starry sky, remotely controlling his psychic weapons! Meanwhile, Baikalou was surrounded by swirling cyan gales, making his figure incredibly blurry. His two combat blades were moving at their absolute fastest, merging into the gale domain, forming continuous waves of blades. "Clang, clang, clang!!!" The curved arc light and the white blade lights clashed repeatedly, causing a hint of surprise to flash across Difan's face. This Blade Clan man was clearly only Universe-level Eighth-tier, yet he was actually using his two combat blades to directly withstand his psychic weapon attacks. "Hundred Blades!" Baikalou roared savagely. Boom! A massive number of white blade lights overlapped, forming a towering giant wave of blade light that instantly engulfed Difan. With a 'thump,' the giant wave of blade light collapsed, and Difan's face turned pale. "Hmm?" Baikalou showed a hint of surprise that his ultimate move had been blocked. "This guy..." Difan's pupils contracted, and he let out a low cry, "Soul Blade Slash!" Invisible psychic energy instantly transformed into a 'blade' invisible to the naked eye, swiftly piercing into Baikalou's sea of consciousness. Poof! Baikalou's gaze dimmed slightly in his eyes, then brightened, as he stared intently at Difan. "He actually blocked it," Difan was utterly shocked. ... In the spaceship, Luo Feng couldn't help but exclaim. "He actually blocked it," Luo Feng's eyes lit up. This Baikalou was a true genius! A Universe-level Eighth-tier warrior able to directly withstand a Universe-level Ninth-tier's psychic weapons with just two combat blades. This was already remarkable! However... Luo Feng merely praised it, without too much shock. Because Difan wasn't particularly skilled in psychic weapons; his specialty was primarily soul attacks. He had even cultivated the 'Soul Blade Slash' secret technique, and though it was only showing a hint of its potential, its power was already astonishing. A Universe-level Ninth-tier spirit reader unleashing a Soul Blade Slash, yet it was blocked by a Universe-level Eighth-tier! "Astonishing willpower!" the little demon excitedly shouted on the screen. "His willpower is truly astonishing! This Baikalou is a Universe-level Eighth-tier warrior and also a Universe-level Eighth-tier spirit reader. But Difan's 'Soul Blade Slash' is incredibly powerful; even opponents of the same tier would struggle to withstand it, yet he managed to resist it." "Willpower! He possesses incredibly astonishing willpower!" the little demon continued. "Luo Feng, quick, use the Soul Imprint of Enslavement to take him in! This is definitely a more excellent servant than Difan!" "Take him in?" Luo Feng paused. Every servant must be chosen with extreme caution. "I'm certain he's at the level of a Giant Axe Warrior title. Even compared to his teacher, Nuolanshan, at the same level and tier, Nuolanshan might not be his match," the demon Babata roared. "His high domain comprehension and strong blade techniques are nothing. But his incredibly astonishing willpower shows his resolve is extremely strong. He absolutely has the potential to become a super powerhouse. As long as you cultivate him well... Luo Feng, this is a rare opportunity!" "At the Giant Axe Warrior title level, there's a 50% probability of reaching Domain Lord." "What's more, with his astonishing willpower, coupled with the secret techniques of our Yunmo Star lineage, his chances of reaching Domain Lord are even greater," Babata shouted. "And, you also need a warrior servant!" Luo Feng nodded slightly. Difan specialized in soul attacks! He indeed lacked a warrior servant under his command! ... In the starry sky. "Your psychic attack is strong," Baikalou said with cold, deep eyes, gritting his teeth. "But, I will be the ultimate victor!" Boom! Accompanied by a gale, Baikalou's figure drifted, tracing an arc. Cyan gales swirled around his body, and then his two combat blades, almost madly, slashed directly towards Difan! The primal energy, strength, and willpower contained within the combat blades had reached an incredibly high level of perfect integration. "Blade – Reincarnation!!!" Baikalou's eyes were filled with madness. His two combat blades transformed into two white blade lights, which poured out furiously towards Difan! The white blade lights continuously accumulated, quickly forming a giant 'light wheel.' The massive light wheel rolled, pressing towards Difan again and again. "Poof." His psychic weapon flew apart, and Difan spat out a mouthful of blood. A hint of pity flashed in his eyes as he unleashed the strongest ultimate move his master, Luo Feng, had prepared for him. "Whoosh~~" A dark blue stream of light instantly shattered the giant 'light wheel,' causing the light wheel composed of numerous blade lights to collapse. This also caused the dark blue stream of light to rebound slightly. It was an incomplete blade fragment—the Chihun Copper Mother Fragment! This sharp fragment traced an arc, sweeping towards Baikalou. "Spare his life," a voice echoed in Difan's sea of consciousness. The soul imprint implanted in the soul connected Luo Feng and Difan's souls, allowing for direct conscious communication, much like an intelligent optical computer communicating with a human, or Moyun Teng communicating with Luo Feng. "Poof!" The dark blue stream of light elegantly traced an arc, instantly severing both of Baikalou's hands. His hands fell, and his combat blades dropped! ... The starry sky was silent. The distant spaceship wreckage drifted, and the corpse of the Universe-level powerhouse Dewen still floated in the distant starry sky, but Baikalou stood blankly in the starry sky. "Destroy his intelligent optical computer," Luo Feng commanded. "Whoosh!" The dark blue blade light directly struck Baikalou's armguard, shattering his intelligent optical computer. Baikalou, however, stared at the distant Difan, transmitting in a low voice, "Why didn't you kill me?" "My master commanded me," Difan looked at him. "Master?" Baikalou frowned slightly. The hatch of the flying saucer spaceship in the distance opened, and a figure swiftly flew through the air—it was Luo Feng, clad in his Moyun Combat Armor. "Luo Feng!" Baikalou's pupils contracted. "Baikalou, you lost," Luo Feng said, looking at the Baikalou before him. Although the flesh and blood at Baikalou's severed wrists were intertwining and slowly regenerating, he stared intently at Luo Feng. Clearly, Baikalou realized... he had lost this time, and lost miserably. "I didn't expect you to have a Universe-level Ninth-tier servant. My teacher didn't expect it either. And you even have a D-grade long-range light-speed weapon... I lost fairly." Baikalou sneered, "Luo Feng, if you want to kill me, then kill me! With your servant here, I have no power to resist. In this starry sky, I can't even escape!" In the vast starry sky, how could he escape without a spaceship? "I think highly of you." Luo Feng looked at Baikalou. "I'm giving you two paths now: one is to submit to me, and the other is death." "Submit or die, choose," Luo Feng looked at him. "Submit? Haha..." Baikalou burst into laughter. "Luo Feng, are you joking? You, a little guy at Star-level, actually want me to submit to you? If it were that bald man, I might consider submitting to him, because he is truly strong; his final move easily defeated me." "But you... a little guy at Star-level, wanting me to submit..." Baikalou shook his head. "Think carefully before answering." Luo Feng's voice grew colder. "Once you refuse, it means death! If you die, everything becomes nothing! Your pursuits, your dream of becoming a powerhouse, everything will be gone." "I'm asking you one last time!" Luo Feng's voice was icy. "Death, or submission!" Luo Feng stared at Baikalou.
