An Unfair Victory

Shifeng Xiong's master was Siyong, a World Master (Realm Lord level) who controlled a billion-kilometer range. Even in the Xueluo World, a Realm Lord was a formidable existence. Shifeng Xiong, having such a master, possessed a much broader perspective and immediately recognized the mysterious expert before him as a genius highly accomplished in spatial origin laws, capable of manifesting hundreds of illusions! "To be so powerful at merely Universe Level Nine... it's truly too..." Shifeng Xiong understood that if such a genius were discovered by the Divine Temple, they would undoubtedly be cultivated as an absolute elite. "Too bad, he's an enemy!" "The more formidable the enemy, the sooner they must be eliminated." Shifeng Xiong stood his ground, twin hammers in hand, unmoving. Luo Feng, having unleashed his close-combat secret technique 'Chaotic Space Kill,' couldn't help but feel surprised: "He's a Domain Lord Level Two after all. With the sheer power of his raw primal energy, he should be able to save his life under my attack. Why isn't he moving?" As doubt arose, a hint of vigilance also stirred in Luo Feng's heart. Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Hundreds of illusory blade techniques were cold and eerie, complemented by the spreading golden domain, subtly making the entire space dance with the blade techniques. Instantly, streaks of blade light, as if forming the 'framework' of the entire space, carried the whole space to directly press down on Shifeng Xiong. As it pressed, the space shrank, and the streaks of blade light also diminished. When Shifeng Xiong was trapped! It was as if he was confined in a small room, being shredded by countless blade lights! The secret technique in "Essays on Space-Time" had no name; 'Chaotic Space Kill' was a name Luo Feng made up himself. "Hahaha..." Laughter rang out. Shifeng Xiong stood his ground, as if enjoying Luo Feng's performance. "Rise!" A faint smile played on Shifeng Xiong's lips. Simultaneously, countless dense, curved projectiles floated around his body. At least several thousand projectiles, densely enveloping Shifeng Xiong. Each projectile gleamed with a cold metallic luster under the lightning, their curved blades chilling to the bone. "What!" Luo Feng's expression changed drastically. He had intended to overwhelm his opponent with speed, but to compare speed with psychic weapons? That was courting death! "Go!" Shifeng Xiong waved his hand, and immediately, countless curved projectiles shot out wildly in all directions. Although the 'Hundred Line Flow' movement technique was astonishing, making it impossible to discern the true body's exact location, it became problematic when countless projectiles were indiscriminately unleashed. Even though their individual power was reduced due to their sheer number, the opponent was a Domain Lord Level Two; any single projectile could kill an ordinary Universe Level Nine practitioner. "Clang!" "Clang!" Luo Feng's figure was ethereal and elusive, but there were simply too many projectiles. He continuously blocked dozens of them with his hexagonal shield. Although he deflected most of the force, it still affected his movement technique. "Haha..." Shifeng Xiong's laughter hadn't faded when all the other flying projectiles immediately changed direction, whistling towards Luo Feng. Thousands of psychic projectiles shot forth simultaneously, causing the air to vibrate and crackle. Luo Feng's face darkened, and his eyes, cold as ice, glared at Shifeng Xiong! An invisible conscious pressure slammed directly into Shifeng Xiong's consciousness. "Hm?" Shifeng Xiong felt a sudden pain in his head. The thousands of projectiles, originally controlled by his consciousness, instantly lost their control. Without the aid of psychic energy, these projectiles rapidly weakened under strong air resistance and astonishing gravity. Moreover, they continued to shoot forward due to inertia, allowing Luo Feng to easily dodge them. Projectiles that could change direction at will versus projectiles that foolishly rushed in one direction—the latter was, of course, easier to dodge! Swish! Luo Feng dodged the projectiles. Swish! Luo Feng charged towards Shifeng Xiong. "Die!" Luo Feng was already before Shifeng Xiong. The Blood Shadow Battle Blade in his hand transformed into an incomparably brilliant blade light, striking directly at Shifeng Xiong's chest. Killing a Universe Level and killing a Domain Lord are two different concepts. From Apprentice to Universe Level, the soul is always within the sea of consciousness. Therefore, implanting chips can control up to Universe Level powerhouses. Slave trading typically involves Universe Level slaves at most. However, for Domain Lords, the soul resides in a 'singularity,' also known as the 'life core'! For example, Luo Feng's singularity and primal core are fused into one, making his 'primal core' incredibly sturdy. This will make it extremely difficult for him to break through the primal core's shackles in the future! To kill a Domain Lord, one must destroy their life core... but the life core can exist in any part of the body: in the head's sea of consciousness, in the dantian, or even in an arm, chest, or any other location. So, to kill a Domain Lord... one must first ascertain where the life core is! The previous conscious attack allowed Luo Feng to confirm its location. "Clang!" A golden stream of light collided with Luo Feng's blade light. "Damn it." Luo Feng's expression changed as he saw the grim and furious Shifeng Xiong. His own consciousness was at the peak of the Domain Lord level, and Shifeng Xiong also possessed a Domain Lord level consciousness. Although much weaker than his own, both were still considered 'Domain Lord level.' A single conscious pressure impact only had a momentary effect. Conscious pressure is only significantly effective when there's a vast difference in levels. "Hmph!" Shifeng Xiong glared at Luo Feng, while three golden streams of light circled his body, simultaneously attacking Luo Feng. "This is truly painful. Warriors are naturally at a disadvantage against spirit masters, especially when facing a spirit master several levels higher than me." Luo Feng understood that victory was impossible. Even with stronger law comprehension and superior movement techniques... there might still be hope against a barrage of psychic weapon attacks. But if the opponent is several levels higher than you, how can you fight? Even the Golden Horned Beast, before cultivating various secret techniques like "Myriad Forms of the Universe," could only contend with those three levels higher based on its innate talent, and sweep aside human warriors two levels higher. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The three golden streams of light were as fast as lightning. No matter how fast Luo Feng was, he couldn't dodge them. One golden stream of light instantly pierced through Luo Feng's throat, going straight through, and the fierce energy instantly shredded Luo Feng's head into pulp. Thud! Luo Feng fell. "What terrifying consciousness. Who, who exactly is he? His consciousness is even stronger than mine, and his law comprehension is so high." Shifeng Xiong walked to the corpse, looking at it with astonishment. "What a pity, a Universe Level Nine actually dared to try and kill me. He was truly courting death. Let me see, who is it!" He then thought, and removed the battle helmet's visor. The visor lifted, revealing a young man's face. "Hello!" The young man suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of apology in them. "Ugh!" Shifeng Xiong's eyes widened as he looked down. A battle blade had been plunged into his chest, directly piercing his life core. Unfortunately, his life core was merely an ordinary human life core... not as abnormal as the Golden Horned Beast's. In fact, the life cores of countless humans are very fragile; how could they compare to Golden Horned Beasts, who are born with an 'inner world'? When a Golden Horned Beast reaches the Domain Lord level, its inner world spans over 100,000 kilometers in length and width! Much larger than Earth. Whereas ordinary human Domain Lords are just beginning to nurture an inner world, and a true inner world only fully forms at the 'Realm Lord level.' Bearing such a massive inner world, how could the primal core not be tough? Even a Domain Lord Level Six Golden Horned Beast's primal core would be incredibly difficult for a Domain Lord Level Six expert to break! Just like when Hong and Lei Shen entered the Golden Horned Beast's body, burning their souls to attack the primal core with spears and battle blades, yet failed to break it. A peak Realm Lord Golden Horned Beast is still considered an invincible existence among Realm Lords... Alas, no matter how many innate secret techniques it possesses, no matter its inherited memories, even if heaven treats you well, it will always set up challenges. This has caused many generations of Golden Horned Beasts to be stuck at the peak Realm Lord level, unable to break through. "You—" Shifeng Xiong's eyes were wide, and his body went limp, collapsing to his knees, blood gushing from his chest. "You stood before me, completely unguarded. My instant strike with the blade, you didn't even have time to react." Luo Feng stood up, his throat completely uninjured. He then pulled down his visor, fearing that revealing his identity might affect Nabu and Nake, the father and son. His eyes, visible through the visor, looked at Shifeng Xiong's corpse. "Don't blame you. Probably few people would imagine... a Universe Level, even with his sea of consciousness completely destroyed, could still be alive!" Luo Feng looked at the corpse before him, shaking his head slightly. He hadn't originally intended to use special abilities to kill his opponent, wanting to fight at a 'Universe Level Nine' standard. However, he hadn't expected this Shifeng Xiong to be a spirit master. His final assassination felt a bit like an 'unfair victory.' "Too bad I didn't bring my Yan Shen Blade!" "If the Yan Shen Blade were in hand, my strength would soar several times, and I would have been confident in killing him." Luo Feng shook his head. "My Earthling body is indeed not suited for close combat!" Luo Feng then knelt down and quickly searched Shifeng Xiong's corpse for his target—a spatial storage device. "This is it!" Luo Feng instantly spotted a decorative pendant embedded in Shifeng Xiong's belt. He immediately took the pendant. This metal pendant... was indeed a spatial storage device. "I hope there are Xueluo Crystals, the more the better!" Luo Feng's psychic energy fiercely surged into it, beginning his search. At this moment... The area within a kilometer radius around the palace was a mess. The palace was shattered, the surrounding corridors broken, and the pavilions reduced to ruins. Especially in the very center... lay Shifeng Xiong's corpse, and the black-armored warrior who had taken the pendant from the corpse stood there coldly! "Excellent." A smile appeared on Luo Feng's face. "Two Xueluo Crystals!" Shifeng Xiong had once fused with one Xueluo Crystal. He had tried every means to obtain two more Xueluo Crystals, hoping to one day become a 'Blood Warrior.' Later, he accidentally acquired an extra one, which he gave to his younger brother, Shifeng Zhan. "Killing for loot, how ruthless!" A cold voice echoed through the heavens and earth. Luo Feng turned to look. In mid-air... two figures in silver-gray combat armor stood, their expressions extremely grim.
