His Name is Luo

Three Axe Mountain, as the foremost of the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield's four major organizations, is not even willing to be provoked by the holy land Black Dragon Mountain or the holy land Ice Sea Divine Kingdom. This is because Three Axe Mountain is backed by three founders.

All three founders, in their youth, had earned the title of 'Sector Lord-level Giant Axe Warrior' from the Giant Axe Martial Arena.

The 'Sector Lord-level Giant Axe Warrior' is a thousand, even ten thousand times rarer than a Cosmic-level Giant Axe Warrior!

These three individuals came from different starfields but cherished each other, becoming lifelong friends. Because all three held the title of Giant Axe Warrior, the organization they established was named 'Three Axe Mountain'!

These three consisted of two men and one woman.

Their names were Leimengtuo, Moleiya, and Luo!

Among them, Leimengtuo and Moleiya had already become Immortals, but 'Luo', this legendary powerhouse of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, remained at the peak of the Sector Lord stage. However, he was considered an invincible figure among Sector Lords. Since disappearing from the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield hundreds of thousands of years ago, no one else had seen him...

No one knew if the third founder was alive or dead!

“Is he from our Black Dragon Mountain Empire?” This question exposed that this 'Military Lord', this founder, was from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!

The three founders came from different starfields!

And the one from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was precisely 'Luo'!

“Do you have this young fellow’s information?” the old man asked.

“Yes.”

Jiang Tianchen respectfully replied, quickly pulling up a file and whispering, “His name is 'Hong', and he has an excellent relationship with two other young men, Luo Feng and Lei Shen. It is estimated that these three… are natives of Earth in our Empire’s Milky Way Galaxy.”

“Natives?” The old man’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

“Yes, but this is a speculation from our Three Axe Mountain intelligence organization,” Jiang Tianchen said. “Also, Hong, Luo Feng, and Lei Shen all participated in this Genius Battle. The most outstanding among them is not Hong, but Luo Feng.”

“There’s someone even more outstanding?” The old man showed a surprised expression.

“Yes. Lei Shen’s preliminary ranking was 5128th, Hong’s preliminary ranking was 982nd, and Luo Feng’s preliminary ranking was 51st,” Jiang Tianchen respectfully stated.

The old man nodded slightly, watching the arena battle being broadcast on the screen before him, and exclaimed in surprise: “This Hong actually broke through at a critical moment, comprehending the sixth level and advancing to the seventh level of domain… Uh… that little girl erupted, what formidable blade techniques, continuous and layered, this ‘Hong’ couldn’t withstand it, oh, what a pity, he still died. There’s no helping it, the absolute difference in strength was indeed too great.”

Jiang Tianchen was secretly astonished.

Military Lord ‘Luo’ rarely spoke so much. It seemed he cared deeply about ‘Hong’ now.

Luo!

A legend of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Even the two Divine Masters of the holy land Black Dragon Mountain and the holy land Ice Sea Divine Kingdom would show Luo respect! Firstly, because Luo’s two lifelong friends were Immortals, and secondly, because Luo was indeed very powerful. Jiang Tianchen’s fame was mainly within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, while ‘Luo’s’ fame was enough to command awe from millions of Sector Lords across the Ganwu Universe Nation.

If he hadn’t been distracted by the ‘Time Origin Law’, he would probably have become an Immortal long ago.

“Alas.” Jiang Tianchen looked at the old man before him, the senior ‘Luo’ who had once guided him, sighing inwardly, “Is this fate? The Military Lord changed his mind, no longer harboring great ambition, wanting to perfect the Light Origin Law and break through to ‘Immortal’, but encountered such a calamity, trapped for over 800,000 years! Wasting the last crucial time… There are only two tens of thousands of years left until his great limit. How could the heavens punish the Military Lord so severely…”

Jiang Tianchen felt a pang of sorrow.

Among the three founders, Luo was the most outstanding and the most ambitious back then.

Yet, fate played its cruel hand…

…

Group 161 of the one thousand arena group battles had concluded!

A collective sigh filled the audience stands.

A group of Earthlings in the audience seats looked at Hong’s body in the Martial Arena with a sense of helplessness.

“Still lost,” Lei Shen shook his head, resigned.

“The opponent was indeed too strong,” Luo Feng shook his head. “Comprehending even a bit of Origin Law brings a fundamental change in strength. Big Brother’s loss wasn’t unjust, but it’s a great pity.”

Yes, a pity.

Hong had done remarkably well, even holding on until only about twenty people remained, but he was ultimately killed by the female warrior’s ultimate technique.

“Let’s go, home,” Luo Feng stood up.

“Third Brother, it’s all up to you now. You’re the only one left among the three who passed the preliminary rounds from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire,” Lei Shen also stood up, whispering.

“Me, alone?”

Luo Feng’s ears twitched, catching the discussions around him. The millions of spectators in this area were all from the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield. Clearly, the successive failures of Naniya and Hong had left billions of people in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield feeling frustrated. Now, their only hope rested on Luo Feng.

“Luo Feng will definitely win.”

“Right, he made it to 51st in the preliminaries! This arena free-for-all will surely be easy for him!”

“Luo Feng is the most formidable genius in our Empire!”

“Luo Feng must be hiding his strength. His power is even greater than his ranking suggests. His preliminary ranking surged dramatically in the later stages, indicating he wasn’t fighting all out at first. He only started accumulating points in the very end. If he had started from the beginning, he might have reached the top ten, or even top three, in the world region!”

“Well said, that’s exactly it!”

“Luo Feng will participate in the arena group battle tomorrow. I’ve already bought my tickets.”

“Luo Feng will sweep them all.”

“Sweep them all!”

Many people from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, unwilling to accept defeat, were saying this. And Luo Feng was the one they had the most confidence in from the start!

…

“Third Brother, I lost. You must work hard,” Hong said.

“Third Brother, you know what to do,” Lei Shen said.

“I can get a high ranking in virtual games! My dad is the strongest, he must be the strongest in the Ganwu Universe Nation!” Xiaohai said.

“Luo Feng, work hard. Billions of citizens across our entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire are watching you.” This was a message from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire Emperor during a call with Luo Feng.

“Luo Feng! Luo Feng! Luo Feng!”

“Luo Feng will definitely succeed.”

“He will definitely win.”

“Victory is assured.”

Almost all residents of the Black Dragon Mountain Island were citizens of the Empire, so the billions of people across the entire island were in a frenzy that night, gathering in bars and public places for parties, hundreds of thousands, even millions or tens of millions, assembling in a single venue to watch the broadcast!

Luo Feng…

The only Black Dragon Mountain Empire citizen still in the Genius Battle. If Luo Feng won, it would be the glory of the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

“So crazy,” Luo Feng felt a sense of breathlessness.

“Dad, when I play virtual games, there are national wars. Our Black Dragon Mountain Empire fights national wars against other empires!”

“Xiaohai, that’s a virtual game,” Xu Xin said with a smile. “Your dad’s is the real deal.”

“Hmm, being ranked first in a starfield, in our virtual games, that’s a super powerhouse on the Heavenly Rankings,” Xiaohai said. Luo Feng, who hadn’t spoken until now, finally looked at his son in surprise: “What game are you playing?”

“A combat game, of course,” Xiaohai chuckled.

…

Night passed, and day arrived.

Although billions of people in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield were going crazy over the upcoming arena battle, Luo Feng himself was quietly meditating alone on the rooftop of a desolate city building in Earth’s wilderness area.

“Caw!”

A flock of avian monsters, ‘Blood Crows,’ flew overhead. In this abandoned city, groups of monsters were often seen, and occasionally, traces of human warriors. But Luo Feng did not suppress his naturally released will-pressure, which naturally prevented any monster or human warrior from daring to approach.

He sat silently on the rooftop for a long time.

Luo Feng was controlling his state of mind. According to what his Big Brother and Second Brother taught him, whether it was ancient yoga or internal martial arts, the state of mind was highly emphasized! ‘Cultivating the mind’ was very important, but in the cosmos, there was no such concept of cultivating the mind. This ‘state of mind’ seemed ethereal… It didn’t seem to have a significant impact on combat power. A common Earthling, no matter how high their state of mind, could be blown to dust by a Cosmic-level powerhouse with a single breath!

Rage sometimes allowed one to perform beyond their usual level! But sometimes, it caused one to underperform!

This was the state of mind!

According to Big Brother and Second Brother, they believed that their ability to possess their own domains at the Planetary stage was related to their ‘state of mind’. Lei Shen could instantly enter a state of calm, purity, and oneness with nature. Hong could also instantly enter an incredibly ethereal state, becoming one with the natural environment, maximizing the power of his senses and domain.

Lei Shen and Hong achieved such states of mind after decades of cultivation.

Luo Feng couldn’t do it…

“An ethereal mind, I can’t achieve it. Because I’m influenced by the Golden Horned Beast bloodline, my heart is filled with killing intent; it’s in my very bones.”

“But Second Brother is right.”

“Whether it’s anger, sadness, joy, excitement, bloodlust—all emotions are natural reactions. Maintain a pure heart, let all emotions occur naturally. Laugh when you want to laugh, rage when you want to rage,” Luo Feng thought. “Bloodlust is also part of nature. Face it with a pure heart, accept it! Only then can one truly achieve a state of pure naturalness and oneness with heaven and earth.”

Luo Feng understood the principle, but when it came to actually killing…

At most, Luo Feng could maintain a cold, undisturbed state of mind. As for achieving purity and merging with nature… that was extremely difficult.

“Luo Feng, the arena battle is about to begin. You should enter the Virtual Universe.”

“Whoosh!” Luo Feng opened his eyes, a hint of coldness in them.

The killing intent was no longer suppressed, released naturally.

“You look different, did your mind cultivation bear fruit?”

Luo Feng didn’t answer, instead saying directly: “Connect to the Virtual Universe.”

…

In the Virtual Universe, within the preparation hall of the Martial Arena on Island No. 29109, located in the plane space where various Martial Arenas reside, numerous genius experts sat on chairs, preparing for the upcoming battle.

“Whoosh!”

A black-haired man in dark gray combat attire appeared out of thin air.

Many genius experts in the preparation hall turned to look. The black-haired man scanned the surrounding geniuses, said nothing, found a seat, sat down, closed his eyes, and calmly awaited the start of the battle.
