Yanshen Blade

The Yanshen Blade, imbued with the Laws of Origin of Gold and Space, is one of the Nine Great Divine Weapons for Psychic Controllers.

For a Star-level practitioner, wielding the Yanshen Blade is an almost impossible feat.

The Yanshen Blade has nine forms. The first form, 'Illusory Sword Form,' alone requires a certain comprehension of the Law of Origin of Gold and powerful willpower to even have a chance of success. This 'chance of success' meant that Luo Feng had to study it for months in the real world, burying himself in it for ten days before the preliminaries, just to achieve basic mastery.

For a Star-level practitioner to master the first form means they can claim invincibility among their peers.

'Claiming invincibility' speaks volumes about its power!

“You can use the Yanshen Blade?” The green-haired youth's eyes widened in shock.

“This is my first time using the Yanshen Blade in combat.” Luo Feng, with the dark golden long staff on his back, slowly landed on an intact roof of a villa below.

The green-haired youth couldn't help but feel nervous, as the Nine Great Divine Weapons were too renowned. However, the surging battle intent in his heart made his eyes burn with fervor, and he shouted, “Madman, on this last day of the preliminaries, it’s truly exhilarating to meet an opponent like you! Show me your full strength, let me see… just how powerful the legendary Yanshen Blade truly is!”

“You won’t be disappointed.” Luo Feng’s pupils contracted.

The two stood facing each other, barely a hundred meters apart, each on a villa rooftop.

A sharp glint flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes. He pointed a finger at the distant green-haired youth, and instantly, a stream of golden light shot out from the dark golden long staff on his back. It was a set of nine golden miniature swords, thin as cicada wings. These nine golden miniature swords naturally dispersed, and at the same time, incredibly complex secret patterns on their blades began to flow with golden threads, connecting them to each other.

Connecting countless golden threads to form a perfect whole was incredibly difficult. Previously, when using the Duntiansuo, even achieving 'great mastery' of the Swordfish Array couldn't fully integrate his comprehension of the Law of Origin of Gold.

But now—

Almost instantly, he integrated all his comprehension of the Law of Origin of Gold into this move, exerting his utmost to unleash the first form. Luo Feng felt that his comprehension was still insufficient; this first form was only 'basic mastery,' far from reaching great mastery.

A dreamlike, illusory golden sword, enveloped in a faint golden light, hovered before Luo Feng.

The entire illusory golden sword was impossible to discern clearly.

A sharp aura emanated from the illusory golden sword, causing the air ahead to vibrate and ripple.

“Whoosh!”

The illusory golden sword instantly shot towards the distant green-haired youth. The moment it launched, it moved so fast that it transformed into a golden streak!

“Hmph!!!” The green-haired youth gritted his teeth and roared, veins throbbing on his forehead, as he fully controlled his psychic weapon.

“Roar~~~”

The two crescent blades, like two playful children, chased each other in an unpredictable trajectory, transforming into a gust of wind to intercept that terrifying golden streak.

“Boom!”

The golden sword streak collided with the two crescent blades. With a loud explosion, both crescent blades were sent flying backward, smashing into the villa below. “Crack!” one of the crescent blades hit a villa window, causing the glass to explode directly, sending shattered glass fragments flying everywhere.

“Whoosh!”

The illusory golden sword, momentarily halted by the impact, once again transformed into a golden streak and shot towards the green-haired youth.

“How can this be?” The green-haired youth showed a look of shock and anger. The disc under his feet immediately flew out and split into two, forming two crescent blades to block.

“Boom!” The golden streak struck again, sending the two crescent blades flying wildly once more.

“Pfft!”

Immediately after, the illusory golden sword shot towards the green-haired youth’s body. The green-haired youth didn't dodge but stared intently at Luo Feng, transmitting his thoughts: “Madman, I made a mistake in my execution. Next time, I will definitely win, definitely win!!!” His roaring voice still echoed in Luo Feng’s ears as the golden illusory sword pierced through his head!

The green-haired youth’s corpse fell from mid-air, hitting the rooftop, then rolling off and landing in the villa courtyard.

“You were mistaken.”

Luo Feng landed beside the corpse and murmured, “You had already stepped into the threshold of the Laws of Origin. Originally, it wouldn’t have been so easy for me to kill you. But you chose to clash head-on with me… who else is there to blame?”

Although this battle was his first time using the Yanshen Blade in a real fight against an opponent.

However, in the Virtual Universe’s 'Killing Field,' to familiarize himself with the Yanshen Blade, Luo Feng had set up many Star-level opponents, configuring them to comprehend the Laws of Origin of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Light, Time, and Space. This allowed Luo Feng to accumulate considerable experience.

Gold is ultimate yang and ultimate rigidity, incomparably sharp!

Wind is formless, elusive and unpredictable!

Following different laws leads to different combat styles. Luo Feng, having stepped into the threshold of the Law of Origin of Gold, naturally possessed attacks of ultimate yang and ultimate rigidity, sweeping away all obstacles! And using the 'Yanshen Blade,' the divine weapon most suited for the Law of Origin of Gold, its power was immense!

Feng Lun clashing head-on with Luo Feng was his own undoing. He couldn't blame anyone for his death.

The main reason was that the green-haired youth, Feng Lun, was intimidated by the Yanshen Blade's reputation. Coupled with his past invincibility against opponents of the same rank, he only truly understood the best way to deal with the 'Madman' at the moment of his death.

...

The battle between the Madman and Feng Lun naturally attracted some talented experts who were already in the northern district. By the time these talented experts approached to watch, the battle had already ended.

“Feng Lun lost?”

“Feng Lun was actually killed? That’s unbelievable, did I see that right?”

“Feng Lun has fallen, who can be the Madman’s opponent?”

The group of experts in the distance were utterly shocked. Feng Lun was much stronger than individuals like 'Demon Hammer,' 'Cold Line,' and 'Bones.' Many had speculated who would win a fight between Feng Lun and the Madman, but most believed in Feng Lun. After all, Feng Lun’s combat record was formidable, and he had always been dominant, never having failed.

He had always easily slaughtered his way through!

Many had long believed that Feng Lun was the number one person in this city.

“That Madman is too strong.”

“What was that golden light the Madman used at the end? Didn’t they say the Madman’s psychic weapon was 'golden fish'?”

“Right, how many points will the Madman get for killing Feng Lun?”

“Even if Feng Lun loses half his points, his ranking will definitely still be very high. As for the Madman… his points must be much higher than Feng Lun’s now.”

...

Luo Feng, with the dark golden long staff on his back, flew away from the villa area and arrived at a dense residential building complex in the distance, entering directly through a balcony.

“30 days of preliminaries, today is the last day.” Luo Feng sat silently on the ground, adjusting his mindset. The 30 days of preliminaries, especially the last 20, had been spent completely unleashing his inner madness, immersed in slaughter. He had killed thousands of people, earning him the name 'Madman' through a trail of blood.

However, Luo Feng didn't want to return to reality with this mindset.

“Whoosh!”

Luo Feng sat cross-legged, suppressing the bloodlust deep within his heart.

“This Feng Lun really had a lot of points. No wonder he was ranked 42 before.” Luo Feng looked down at the screen on his wrist, the points displayed were startling.

Participant: Luo Feng (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Points: 32,178,201

Rank: 51

“I actually gained over eighteen million points for killing Feng Lun!” Luo Feng exclaimed in his heart. Earning points by killing super experts was indeed fast. His previous nearly fourteen million points couldn't compare to this single gain! However, 'Feng Lun' had also mentioned once killing a super expert from another city and gaining over ten million points.

“The fastest way to get points is still to kill super experts.”

“It would be best to hunt them city by city.” Luo Feng thought to himself.

For example, killing the number one ranked person could potentially yield over a hundred million points! Of course, the prerequisite was… having the ability to kill them!

...

When Luo Feng killed Feng Lun, his rank 'whooshed' from 102 directly to 51. This immediately drew significant attention to Luo Feng from many factions and organizations within the Ganwu Universe Nation. Previously, when Luo Feng had just broken into the top 1001, he was mainly noticed by the billions of citizens of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. But reaching 51 was different.

The higher the rank, the more exaggerated the strength!

The top three in each world zone could be said to be true super geniuses who had stepped into the threshold of the Laws of Origin.

Among the top 100 in each world zone, there were also some super geniuses who had comprehended faint traces of the Laws of Origin.

The ranking depended on an individual's choices.

If a super expert, like Luo Feng or Feng Lun, didn't stay confined to their own city but roamed through all 91 cities in the entire world zone, hunting super experts in each city! They might encounter tough opponents, but there was a greater possibility of reaching the top ten in their world zone!

“Gather Luo Feng’s data.”

“This Luo Feng, being able to rank 51, should be a combat-type genius who has reached 'Domain Eight or Nine,' or an even stronger super genius who has comprehended the Laws of Origin.”

“The Black Dragon Mountain Empire, that backwater place, actually has a talented expert who reached 51?”

“It’s very rare. The Black Dragon Mountain Empire has always been middle-to-lower among the many vassal states of our Ganwu Universe Nation.”

...

At this moment, in the luxurious hall of the spaceship that gathered the ruling elite of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

“Congratulations, Your Majesty.”

“Great news.”

“Your Majesty, 51st place, a two-digit rank!”

The thousands of people in the entire hall were in an uproar. A three-digit rank, a two-digit rank, and a single-digit rank represented different levels of honor. For example, the three individuals from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire who were temporarily selected:

Hong ranked 999.

Nabini ranked 860.

Luo Feng ranked 51.

It was clear at a glance that Hong and Nabini were considered top-tier geniuses in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, but Luo Feng was absolutely a super expert who could make a name for himself in the Ganwu Universe Nation.

“A two-digit rank.”

“Your Majesty, now the billions of citizens on Black Dragon Mountain Island are all incredibly excited.”

The Emperor, seated at the very top, could not hide a trace of joy on his face. He laughed heartily and boomed, “Our empire performed very well in these preliminaries. From the looks of it, it’s highly possible that three people will be selected! Hong and Nabini are both excellent, and as for Luo Feng… haha, the pride of our Black Dragon Mountain Empire!”

“This Luo Feng has made a great contribution! A great contribution indeed!” The Emperor’s voice grew even louder. “He must be rewarded, heavily rewarded!”
