Chapter 408
Avoiding Battle
With no other elite geniuses nearby, completely stunned by Luo Feng's ferocity and power, they all kept their distance. This left Luo Feng to seek out his own prey. His gaze swept across the arena, instantly landing on the cold, gold-clad youth, Jincili, who was also looking his way. Luo Feng instantly recalled Jincili's arrogant sneer in the preparation hall, telling him to 'sit further away!' Since that was the case, Jincili would be his next target. "Kill!" Killing intent erupted in Luo Feng's eyes. Whoosh! He stepped on his Duntiansuo, transforming into a streak of light, and shot directly towards Jincili. "Damn it, how did I just run into someone so powerful?" Jincili gritted his teeth, seething with resentment. But as an elite cultivated by the royal family of the Ganwu Universe Nation, he clearly understood how terrifying a peer who had stepped into the threshold of origin laws could be. So, Jincili gritted his teeth, turned, and fled, transmitting frantically, "Puxijin, Puxijin!" Puxijin, who had been slaughtering opponents like a war god, frowned. "That black-haired kid wants to kill me!" Jincili transmitted urgently. "Help me block him!" "You really know how to stir up trouble," Puxijin's deep, resonant voice echoed in Jincili's ears. In this group, Puxijin was ranked first, and Jincili second. Since they came from the same organization, Jincili had long ago allied with Puxijin, and they had agreed to cooperate to easily pass this arena group battle. Originally, with the first and second ranked individuals supporting each other, passing this group battle was a sure thing. However, Jincili had provoked Luo Feng! If he hadn't provoked him earlier, even though Luo Feng was strong, he wouldn't necessarily target the top two ranked individuals. After all, there were ten spots in the arena free-for-all, so there was no need to fight to the death. But now… Boom! Puxijin took a single step, appearing in front of Jincili. His huge, green-glowing eyes stared at Luo Feng, and he transmitted, "Jincili was in the wrong, but there's no need for us to fight to the death. Spare Jincili's life, and we can all pass this arena free-for-all together!" Luo Feng, standing on his Duntiansuo, looked at the giant before him. Puxijin, towering like a two-story building, made Luo Feng seem like a tiny speck in comparison. "Puxijin!" Luo Feng stared coldly at his opponent, transmitting, "Move aside!" However, a hint of anger flashed in Puxijin's eyes, and he was about to say something. "Hmph!" A sharp glint flashed in Luo Feng's eyes. Boom! A golden illusory sword shot out instantly, causing Puxijin's expression to change. He let out a low roar and simultaneously swung his right fist, enveloped in an earthy-yellow aura. He swung his right fist as if pushing a mountain; it seemed slow but managed to block Luo Feng's golden illusory sword. A deafening boom resounded. Puxijin retreated over ten meters, then gritted his teeth and glared at Luo Feng. "Hmm?" Luo Feng's heart stirred. "The intelligence reports said Puxijin hadn't stepped into the threshold of laws. Looking at him now, he indeed hasn't comprehended laws. But… with his ninth-level Domain, he can unleash such powerful combat strength." Similarly, with a sixth-level Domain, Hong could even kill opponents with a seventh-level Domain. Besides primal energy, realm, and laws, combat is also determined by will, mindset, experience, and other factors. If a person lacks fighting spirit or the will to resist, they might not even unleash half of their strength. But if they are highly motivated, incredibly excited, and possess strong willpower, they can perform beyond their usual level! And Puxijin, with his ninth-level Domain, managed to rank ninth in the 89th world sector, so his combat strength was indeed astonishing. However, there's a huge difference between those who haven't crossed the threshold of laws and those who have! "Puxijin, you are not my match. Move aside, or you won't even pass the group battle," Luo Feng said coldly, standing on his Duntiansuo and staring at Puxijin, transmitting his words. Killing Puxijin would likely take some time, and the longer it took, the more people would die around them. Once only ten remained, the group battle would end. It was very possible that Jincili would escape with his life. "Hmph!" Puxijin clenched his fists, his huge, green-glowing eyes fixed on Luo Feng. He gritted his teeth and suddenly rushed towards the chaotic crowd of genius fighters in the distance. "Puxijin!" Jincili, hiding behind him, transmitted anxiously. "Ahhh!!!" Puxijin roared, wildly swinging his heavy fists, chasing after one genius after another. "Hmph." Luo Feng looked at Jincili. Everything was as expected. Among the 100 people in this group, he was the only one who had stepped into the threshold of laws, and he was using the Yanshen Blade. Just one move earlier… Luo Feng could tell that Puxijin was already injured. If they continued to fight, Puxijin would undoubtedly die. Luo Feng didn't want to waste time on Puxijin. Puxijin also didn't want to die for Jincili, so choosing to avoid battle was perfectly normal. "Bastard!" Jincili cursed inwardly, fleeing frantically. "Flee?" Luo Feng quickly pursued on his Duntiansuo. "So fast?" Jincili's expression changed drastically. Comprehending even a bit of origin laws brings great improvements in attack, defense, flight, and movement techniques. Jincili was caught by Luo Feng almost in the blink of an eye. "You mongrel!" Jincili turned, gritting his teeth and roaring. Black energy swirled around his body, and he held two slender battle blades, his face ferocious. "Die!" Whoosh! With a single step, space seemed to distort, and Jincili instantly appeared before Luo Feng. "Light Domain?" Luo Feng snorted coldly, instantly retreating. "Illusory Sword Style!" Luo Feng's eyes turned cold. Though he had also stepped into the threshold of laws, Luo Feng was more formidable than others because he fully unleashed his comprehension of origin laws through his Yanshen Blade! Boom! A golden rainbow light, like a golden laser, instantly shot towards the approaching Jincili. Clang!!! Jincili crossed his twin blades, blocking the attack. With a head-on collision, Jincili's body trembled, and a sweetness rose in his throat. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. "Just like those super geniuses in the Ganwu Secret Realm, those who comprehend the Law of Gold are indeed the most ferocious and violent." "He actually blocked it?" Luo Feng raised an eyebrow. Boom! The golden rainbow light shot out a second time. "I can't block it head-on, but I have no choice. It's too fast, there's no time to dodge." Jincili felt bitter in his heart. He could only force himself to block again with his twin blades, but his arms were already weak; he had been injured by the previous block. Bang! His two battle blades were directly knocked away and sent flying. The golden rainbow light swirled slightly, then directly pierced through Jincili's pale head! His head exploded! Jincili was dead! Eliminated! … This scene made Puxijin's face, covered in golden fur, twitch from a distance. "Jincili could only block one attack, and died on the second. And Aofeixiusi and the others couldn't even block the first. Too… too, I could probably only block four or five times at most. This guy is too strong!" Gold, the most potent and unyielding, sharp beyond compare! In terms of head-on confrontation, those who comprehend the Law of Gold are indeed the most formidable. … The entire battle lasted for about five minutes, and the number of living participants finally dropped to 10. The battle ended! "Madman, that guy is a madman." "Who exactly is that black-haired guy?" The surviving genius fighters looked at Luo Feng with hidden apprehension. However, most of them didn't know Luo Feng's name. Because when the Martial Arena introduced them earlier, they were all in the preparation hall and hadn't seen Luo Feng's image. In fact, Luo Feng didn't know the names of the others either. Oh, to be precise, he only knew the names of Puxijin and Jincili. They were famous. But Luo Feng's reputation was too small before. "Group 382's arena battle has ended. The 90 deceased are eliminated, and the remaining 10 are qualified to contend for the 900 spots." A deep voice echoed in the minds of everyone in the Martial Arena. The other nine surviving geniuses, including Puxijin, all looked at the black-haired youth carrying a dark golden long staff, radiating a murderous aura. If Hong's group's most formidable was the 'savage,' then this group's most formidable was undoubtedly the 'madman' Luo Feng. "Luo Feng!" "Luo Feng!" "Luo Feng!" The millions of spectators from the Heilong Mountain Star Field shouted the most passionately, each one roaring with all their might, hysterically, their faces filled with激动 and madness, screaming without restraint! The people from the Heilong Mountain Star Field were the most entitled to shout in the entire Martial Arena, their roars shaking the heavens. "He's Luo Feng?" As they were being teleported out, the other nine surviving geniuses secretly wondered. … It was boiling! The Heilong Mountain Empire's imperial palace was boiling! The billions of citizens on the entire Heilong Mountain Island were boiling! The countless people across the eight thousand star systems of the entire star field, watching the broadcast, were also boiling! "Too violent, too violent." "Luo Feng is too formidable." "Awesome, awesome!" "Strong! He is a genius from our Heilong Mountain Star Field, yes, he is from our Heilong Mountain Star Field!!!" The countless people of the empire were ecstatic. In the past hundreds of thousands, even millions of years, the Heilong Mountain Empire had indeed entered the top ten thousand several times, which was cause for excitement and pride. However, those who made it into the top ten thousand were almost always barely scraping by. It had been a very, very long time since such a dominant powerhouse had appeared from the Heilong Mountain Empire in such a peak battlefield! Yes, dominant! Ferocious! In the arena group battle, he was the number one! Whoever he wanted to kill would surely die! A path of slaughter! Even the war god-like 'Puxijin' had to lower his head and retreat! In the arena! Luo Feng was king! He was emperor! Everyone else had to bow down! "So thrilling." "Luo Feng's strength is simply too formidable, he's practically sweeping through everyone, unstoppable! Those with weaker strength are resolved in a single move." "I heard Luo Feng uses the Yanshen Blade. You don't know what the Yanshen Blade is? It's one of the nine divine weapons for mental-force controllers." "After the group battle, it's one-on-one combat. With Luo Feng's strength, he will definitely secure one of those 900 spots." "Luo Feng will surely represent the Ganwu Universe Nation and contend with the many peerless geniuses from other universe nations. Haha, Luo Feng is from our Heilong Mountain Empire!" They were frenzied. Many special reports about Luo Feng, and many fan organizations supporting him, were quickly formed. In many virtual games, nicknames like 'Luo Feng, I love you,' 'Luo Feng's Master,' 'Luo Feng's Wife,' 'I am Luo Feng's Senior Brother,' and 'Luo Feng's True Self' were seen everywhere. In this battle, Luo Feng's power conquered billions.
