Giant Pit

Whoosh!

The ghostly phantom, seeing its sudden assassination attempt fail, immediately retreated without hesitation, attempting to flee.

“Trying to escape?” Luo Feng’s eyes turned icy cold. He transformed into an afterimage, swiftly giving chase. At the Ninth-tier Universe-level, his speed was incredibly fast, exceeding 300 kilometers per second. In just a flash, they had covered hundreds of kilometers, arriving above a vast canyon.

“His speed isn’t as good as mine, but he’s actually stepped into the threshold of the Origin Law of Wind. His movement technique is bizarre, but unfortunately, his comprehension is still very low.” A hint of killing intent flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes. The moment he shot across the canyon, his mental energy, connected to the cosmic space, suddenly detected a ripple.

“Not good!” Luo Feng’s expression changed.

From the depths of the canyon, a burly warrior, roughly three meters tall and clad in battle armor, burst forth, wielding two massive axes. His eyes, like brass bells, bellowed, “Die!”

Boom!

The two giant axes cleaved down!

“Haha, who’s afraid of whom?” Luo Feng gripped his Blood Shadow Battle Blade. Without the slightest dodge, his eyes were cold and fierce. He seemed to be lying diagonally in mid-air, plummeting rapidly downwards. Simultaneously, leveraging the force of his descent, he instantly channeled all his power into his right arm. The moment his battle blade moved, it already resonated with the Origin Law of Space and the Origin Law of Metal.

The blade technique, imbued with desperate madness, slashed downwards!

The burly warrior below also fiercely swung his giant axes, striking upwards!

“Hiss!” A sharp,锥-like mental energy instantly pierced into Luo Feng’s sea of consciousness, striking the incredibly sturdy Void Tower. The Void Tower trembled slightly, indicating the extreme power of the attack, which affected Luo Feng’s awareness.

“Boom!”

The battle blade and giant axes collided instantly. The burly, savage warrior possessed innate divine strength, making his axe strike incredibly powerful. Luo Feng’s strike was the “Burial Form” of the Seven Ultimate Shadow Blades, a fierce, head-on heavy blow that invoked two Origin Laws. Unfortunately, his consciousness was slightly affected at the crucial moment.

“Pfft!” The burly warrior’s body trembled, his face flushed red as he spat out a mouthful of hot blood. His giant axes, now uncontrollable, flew from his grasp like meteors, smashing into the nearby cliff face. Immediately, the cliff rumbled, and countless rocks tumbled down.

His body involuntarily plummeted, the tiger’s mouth of his right hand completely torn open.

“Trying to escape?” Luo Feng, holding his Blood Shadow Battle Blade, plunged down furiously in pursuit.

“How is this possible?” As Wu Qi fell, he stared in horror at the silver-armored warrior rapidly descending from above. “He, he’s also peak Universe-level. In terms of speed, he’s even faster than Shadow. And after being ambushed by me, he actually went head-to-head with me. Under Ghost Demon’s mental attack, he still managed to severely wound me. Is he human or ghost?”

Luo Feng swooped down, his eyes sharp as blades, intending to finish off the burly axe-wielding warrior below.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

From the bottom of the canyon, a massive volley of golden light shot out, narrowly missing the burly warrior and aiming directly for Luo Feng.

“Mental energy weapons?” Luo Feng’s mind stirred.

Immediately, thousands of blades appeared out of thin air before him, a dense, dark mass of them. These were simple, sharp blades Luo Feng had Babata create specifically after his disadvantageous battle with Shifeng Xiong… Although these blades were not expensive mental energy weapons, just sharp blades.

However, Luo Feng, having glimpsed a trace of the essence of cosmic space, could still invoke the Origin Law of Space even without the auxiliary law engravings on mental energy weapons.

The engravings on mental energy weapons merely served as an aid, making it easier for one to unleash a certain type of attack.

But true super experts didn’t need such aids.

With a single thought, cosmic space could shatter; with a single thought, time could reverse.

Luo Feng couldn’t achieve that, but having glimpsed a trace of the essence, he could still unleash attacks imbued with the power of laws, even without aids. Of course… it was more strenuous to execute, and the power was slightly weaker.

“Absolute Domain!” Luo Feng stared at the incoming golden light.

The countless blades before him formed eleven black blade-dragons. Each black dragon was composed of numerous black blades… and subtly invoked cosmic space. These eleven dragons were like eleven ropes, pulling on the entire space, causing it to press down.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!!!!!!!

The speed of the countless golden lights sharply decreased, scattering upon impact with the black blade-dragons. The eleven black blade-dragons, however, continued to roar downwards, first pouncing on the burly warrior.

“Hold your hand, we are from the Immortal Temple!” A panicked telepathic message echoed in Luo Feng’s ears.

…

At the bottom of the canyon, the cold, red-haired youth, standing in mid-air, now showed a look of panic. “How, how is this possible? He, he actually shattered my mental energy weapons. My mental energy weapons were personally crafted by an Undying being. He, he, his speed is faster than Shadow’s, he can withstand Ghost Demon’s mental attack, dares to go head-to-head with that savage fellow, and can even shatter my mental energy weapons!”

“Who exactly is he?!” The cold youth was utterly stunned, but despite his shock, he quickly sent a telepathic message, pleading for Luo Feng to spare his comrades.

…

“We are from the Immortal Temple.”

“Spare Wu Qi!”

Two figures also flew down from above the canyon: the ghostly phantom who had previously ambushed Luo Feng, and another figure shrouded in a black uniform, wearing a mask.

“You tried to kill me, and now you want me to spare you?” Luo Feng’s mentally controlled eleven black blade-dragons instantly slammed into the burly axe-wielding warrior, who, despite his terrified attempts to resist, was suppressed by the invisible cosmic space. His body exploded, sending blood flying.

Whoosh!

The eleven black blade-dragons plunged downwards, continuing their assault on the cold, red-haired youth below.

“Swish!”

The cold youth, terrified, conjured a disc beneath his feet, instantly transforming into a fleeting stream of light and escaping into the distance. Because the two were already quite far apart… and the control range of mental energy weapons was limited. Although these eleven black blade-dragons were incredibly powerful, they lacked any law engravings, making Luo Feng’s control over them exceptionally strenuous.

“Run!” The ghostly shadow and the black-uniformed youth above the canyon conjured a spaceship out of thin air, quickly entered it, and then the spaceship accelerated away.

“Damn it!”

“Who are these people?” Luo Feng, seeing this, hovered in mid-air above the canyon, astonished. “One guy has offensive mental energy weapons, and another has flying mental energy weapons. Even in our universe, these are considered truly excellent mental energy weapons. And they actually carry a spaceship with them, clearly better than those used by the Temple Envoys. At least the acceleration is much faster.”

Luo Feng waved his hand, and the eleven black blade-dragons swiftly vanished.

Whoosh!

Luo Feng rapidly descended, landing on the canyon floor, where some remains of the tall, burly warrior lay.

“Space storage device.” Luo Feng found the warrior’s space wristband and immediately took it.

“Something feels off. These four Ninth-tier Universe-level individuals are all too strong. One is as fast as a ghost, even stepping into the Origin Law of Wind. To step into a law’s threshold at the Universe-level is already a top-tier genius in the universe. One’s mental attack could even shake my Void Tower! And that big guy could withstand my blade strike without dying. The controller below also wields considerable power with his mental energy weapons.”

“Bizarre.”

“A place like Xueluo Continent, and suddenly so many geniuses appear? I’ll leave this place first and then investigate slowly.” Luo Feng dared not be careless. He instantly transformed into an illusion, rapidly darting deeper into the Ancient God Ruins.

After all, the Ancient God Ruins were boundless, allowing him to roam freely.

…

In the high-altitude cloud layer.

Three figures were gathered in mid-air: the ghostly phantom, the black-uniformed man, and the cold, red-haired youth from before. But now, these three no longer held their previous arrogance; each was deeply shocked.

“He, how is he so powerful?” The voice from the ghostly phantom was low, but clearly female.

“We are the most elite geniuses selected by the Immortal Temple from various parts of Xueluo Continent. We came to the Ancient God Ruins for life-and-death training, and the four of us teamed up… to deal with a young man who is also peak Universe-level. Yet, we, the four of us against one, were utterly helpless!” The cold youth shook his head repeatedly. “Too ruthless, too strong, ridiculously strong. He’s stepped into the Origin Law of Metal, and is proficient in the Origin Law of Space. Moreover… his mental energy weapons clearly lack law engravings, yet their power is greater than mine.”

“Strong!”

“Very strong!” The masked, black-uniformed youth said in a low voice, “My mental attack didn’t even affect him. He still managed to severely wound Wu Qi with a single blade strike, leaving him utterly helpless.”

The three were all stunned.

They were all favored children of heaven, top-tier elite geniuses of Xueluo Continent, specially cultivated by the Immortal Temple. Their status was even higher than that of the Temple Envoys.

Favored children of heaven they might be, but they also underwent life-and-death training.

“There’s always someone better. We cannot be arrogant. Many geniuses on Xueluo Continent remain undiscovered. This one today is incredibly strong.”

“Mm.”

“Let’s continue our life-and-death training.”

The Immortal Temple’s requirement for these geniuses’ life-and-death training was… they must fuse three Xueluo Crystals before they could return to the temple. Otherwise, they were to die in the Ancient God Ruins.

…

The four individuals who confronted Luo Feng were indeed top-tier geniuses native to Xueluo Continent. Because Xueluo Continent lacked a ‘Virtual Universe Network,’ information exchange and talent scouting faced many difficulties… many super geniuses remained undiscovered and overlooked until they truly became powerful figures, by which time the best period for their cultivation had already been wasted.

Compared to those four!

Luo Feng, however, was a product of the vast human race’s extensive network across the cosmos, through the ‘Virtual Universe Network.’ He had undergone countless competitions, with billions of geniuses participating in ‘pre-selection screenings,’ proving himself through battle after battle.

He ultimately ranked among the top ten in the cosmic overall rankings!

And now, he was even considered the super genius second only to Bolan in this generation… and he had comprehended for 30 years in Chaos City. How could those four individuals possibly compare?

…

Luo Feng wandered aimlessly, advancing and cultivating throughout the boundless Ancient God Ruins.

There were many places with dense killing intent; there was no need to stay confined to one spot.

Half a month later.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng stood atop a mountain tens of thousands of meters high, gazing into the distance. There was an incredibly massive deep pit. “What a huge pit… Before, I saw many giant pits, mostly hundreds of kilometers in diameter, and they were all regular. Why is this pit so abnormally large, estimated to be nearly ten thousand kilometers in diameter?”

“Let’s go take a look.”

Luo Feng had been cultivating and exploring the mysterious Ancient God Ruins all along. Now, he couldn’t help but fly towards that super-large pit out of curiosity.
