Chapter 547
Sky-Reaching Bridge Seventh Level!
What is Luo Feng's greatest advantage right now? The combination of the Golden Horned Beast with 97 Xueluo Crystals integrated into its right claw, the Beast God Statue, the three ancient murals, and the 'Sky-Rending Earth-Splitting' secret technique! Before going to the Xueluo World, Luo Feng's greatest advantage was the combination of his Demon Killer Clan clone, the Ninefold Chaos Tablet, and 'Essays on Time and Space'! The Demon Killer Clan clone naturally excelled at studying spatial laws. At one point, this even caused Luo Feng's comprehension of the origin laws of metal to lag behind his comprehension of spatial laws! Now, it's different! The Golden Horned Beast, inherently a darling of the universe's origin laws of metal. When it uses 'Sky-Rending Claw' through its right claw, its compatibility with the universe's origin laws increases by nearly 10 times! The Golden Horned Beast itself is already extraordinary with a high starting point. After this tenfold increase, its compatibility with spatial comprehension is in no way inferior to that of the Demon Killer Clan clone! With such a high degree of comprehension compatibility, how astonishing is the speed of cultivating the 'Sky-Rending Earth-Splitting' secret technique? After all, this secret technique was created by the Golden Horned Beast's ancestors and is very suitable for the Golden Horned Beast to cultivate. The Beast God Statue and the three ancient murals are profound, but they lack detailed cultivation processes. However, 'Sky-Rending Earth-Splitting' has a detailed cultivation process. They corroborate each other! The Golden Horned Beast's progress in solely studying the 'Sky-Rending Claw' within the 'Sky-Rending Earth-Splitting' secret technique is even more astonishingly fast. Especially in the recent months since acquiring the Beast God Statue, Luo Feng himself has been astounded by the speed of his progress. “In terms of cultivation, my greatest advantage is the 'Sky-Rending Claw'.” “In combat, my true advantage is using both my spirit reader and warrior abilities.” Luo Feng quickly clarified his thoughts, “The Demon Killer Clan clone was already meant to cultivate the 'Shadow Secret Manual', so... it will cooperate with the Golden Horned Beast and primarily cultivate 'Burial' from the Seven Shadow Blades.” Burial and Sky-Rending Claw. Their application of laws is quite similar, which is why 'Burial' became the Demon Killer Clan clone's strongest blade technique. “I engage in close combat with my opponent while simultaneously controlling my spirit weapons! When I challenged Heaven-Reaching Mountain before, I relied on this tactic to kill two people.” Luo Feng mused. Regarding close combat ability. Luo Feng could withstand the Minotaur with a single battle blade, and also endure the Ape-man's spirit weapons. He was only slightly at a disadvantage... However, when using the fifth stage of the Duntiansuo, 'Spatial Severance', it was directly shattered by the Minotaur's axe. Only the sixth stage, 'World Creation', had the ability to suppress the opponent. “My close combat strength is slightly inferior to my spirit weapons, but not by much.” “Recently, I've focused on studying the 'Burial' technique, and with the impetus from 'Sky-Rending Claw', my progress will definitely be rapid.” Luo Feng smiled. When he uses the Duntiansuo, he can fight his opponent to a standstill. At critical moments, he can also engage in close combat with his Blood Shadow Battle Blade, which is like two fighting one! Just how strong Luo Feng's close combat ability is... No one truly knows. Even King Zhenyan's understanding is still based on when Luo Feng used a blade technique once on the Sky-Reaching Bridge in Chaos City. At that time, his close combat strength was far inferior to his spirit weapons. Time flew by. The most elite cosmic-level geniuses of the human race were all preparing for the upcoming qualification battle. Luo Feng dared not relax in the slightest. His Golden Horned Beast clone and Demon Killer Clan clone separately delved into 'Sky-Rending Claw' and 'Burial'. 'Essays on Time and Space', the Ninefold Chaos Tablet, the memories of practicing with the nine black fire planets, and so on—everything corroborated each other. He accumulated his questions to ask his teacher, King Zhenyan, all at once. “Luo Feng, how can his progress be so fast?” “Luo Feng, are you sure you can perform the secret technique described on this page of 'Essays on Time and Space'? Show me first.” King Zhenyan watched Luo Feng successfully perform it and couldn't help but stare, “Crazy! How is his progress even faster than when he was in the Xueluo World?” King Zhenyan was astonished. Yet, Luo Feng dared not relax in the slightest. Half a year after returning from the Xueluo World. Virtual Universe, Sky-Reaching Bridge plane space. In the center of that beautiful island, the guardian Bafen, clad in a black star robe, looked in surprise at Luo Feng, who had appeared out of thin air: “Luo Feng, you haven't been here for many years since you passed the sixth level last time, have you?” “Yes.” Luo Feng smiled and nodded. “Challenging the seventh level?” Bafen smiled. “Mhm.” Luo Feng nodded. “You seem very confident.” Bafen smiled, pointing into the distance, “The Jiuyu Sky-Reaching Bridge is empty right now. I wish you success in passing the seventh level. If you pass the seventh level, you will truly be ahead of Bolan!” “I believe I can succeed.” Luo Feng smiled faintly, then transformed into a streak of light and shot towards the Jiuyu Sky-Reaching Bridge in the distance, swiftly flying up layer by layer along it. The seventh level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge was in boundless starry space. The bridge surface extended directly into the starry space. At the end of the seventh level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge, a small meteorite, several kilometers in diameter, floated. Luo Feng, clad in dark red battle armor, stood on the bridge, looking at the floating meteorite ahead. “Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, or Illusionist. Defeat one to pass the seventh level.” A hoarse voice emerged from the meteorite. “Controller!” Luo Feng said. Snap! A piece of stone broke off the edge of the meteorite and crashed onto the bridge surface. As it rolled, it transformed into a Controller, clad in blue battle armor, wearing a silver mask, standing on a dark cloud shuttle, and carrying a dark golden staff on his back. “A young man at the ninth tier of the Universe level, it's been a long time since I've seen you here.” The blue-clad man's voice was ancient. “I wouldn't come if I lacked confidence, of course.” Luo Feng said. “Very good!” The blue-clad man, standing on his dark cloud shuttle, let out a low shout, “Let me see just how much you've improved, to be so confident.” Boom! The dark golden staff on his back instantly shot out ten thousand golden lights. In an instant, countless small golden swords shot out in all directions, and almost immediately, the surrounding world began to transform. And Luo Feng, standing in the distance on his dark cloud shuttle, also had ten thousand golden lights shooting from the dark golden staff on his back! Both performed the same action! The worlds on both sides of them also changed. Boom! Boom! In the vast world, only sword energy swirled. This was the 'World of Swords'. The World of Swords formed by the blue-clad man and the World of Swords formed by Luo Feng directly collided. Rumble, rumble, rumble~~~ The two worlds collided, countless sword energies spontaneously clashing. “Your progress is astonishing, but your control over the World of Swords is slightly inferior to mine.” The blue-clad man pointed at Luo Feng from afar, “Go!” Whoosh! A wisp of pale golden sword energy condensed before the blue-clad man and shot directly towards Luo Feng. “Control over the World of Swords is slightly inferior?” Luo Feng was very confident in his heart. In fact, two months ago, he could already form a stable World of Swords! The reason he delayed for two months was to fully control the World of Swords, so that he could maintain a stable World of Swords even when multitasking. The reason his control was slightly inferior was because Luo Feng was multitasking, only using a portion of his consciousness to control the Duntiansuo. He was testing it out. “Then I'll fully control the Duntiansuo now. If I can win without close combat, there's no need for it.” Luo Feng's eyes lit up. The entire World of Swords around him rumbled, seemingly growing stronger, directly pressing and colliding with the other World of Swords. At the same time, he pointed into the distance, “Go!” A wisp of pale golden sword energy shot directly towards the blue-clad man in the distance. Whoosh! Whoosh! Two wisps of incomparably sharp sword energy, formed by condensing the power of the World of Swords, directly collided and annihilated each other. The further away from the body, the weaker and more difficult the control over the power of the World of Swords becomes. Therefore, sword energy is always condensed in front of the body, as this yields the greatest power! “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” Two pale golden sword energies collided and annihilated each other again. “Blue-clad man, you're doomed to lose.” After two attempts, Luo Feng no longer held back. He let out a cold shout, then pointed at the blue-clad man in the distance. Whoosh! A wisp of pale golden sword energy shot towards the blue-clad man. “It's useless. Go back and cultivate more. Your strength is similar to mine. After cultivating for another three years, you might be able to suppress me. Only after ten more years will you be able to defeat me.” The blue-clad man again controlled a wisp of pale golden sword energy to shoot out and block Luo Feng's incoming sword energy. “Hmph.” Luo Feng looked indifferently at the blue-clad man. Whoosh! The wisp of pale golden sword energy controlled by Luo Feng actually dodged and bypassed the blue-clad man's sword energy attack in mid-air, not blocking it at all. While evading... it continued to shoot towards the blue-clad man. “What?” The blue-clad man's expression changed, “Then let's die together!” Two Controllers facing off. Especially in the 'World of Swords', both could only condense a single wisp of sword energy at full power! It's like two people holding two blades. If you try to cut me, of course I'll swing my blade to block! This results in mutual slashing. If one person is stronger, they can block the opponent while killing them. That would be considered a success. But Luo Feng's current action is this: when the opponent slashes, Luo Feng doesn't block at all, but directly slashes at the opponent's neck. This is the act of a death-seeker! This is called... mutual destruction! “Whoosh!” The pale golden sword energy controlled by Luo Feng instantly arrived before the blue-clad man. The sword energy's speed was much faster than the dark cloud shuttle's. “Whoosh.” That pale golden sword energy also arrived before Luo Feng. Both faced a crisis simultaneously. However, their ways of handling it were completely different. A shield appeared before the blue-clad man, controlled by spirit energy to block. “Break for me!!!” Luo Feng, holding a shield in one hand and the Blood Shadow Battle Blade in the other, let out a fierce shout. The Blood Shadow Battle Blade in his hand directly invoked spatial pressure from the surroundings, even carrying the power of the surrounding World of Swords. This blade strike was filled with ferocity and astonishing speed, its edge carrying a golden gleam, directly cleaving onto that wisp of pale golden sword energy. Boom! Luo Feng was thrown back dozens of meters by the recoil, his blood boiling, but that wisp of pale golden sword energy had already been shattered. “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” On the blue-clad man's side, the wisp of pale golden sword energy controlled by Luo Feng was as fast as lightning. The shield's movement speed simply couldn't keep up with the sword energy. After grazing twice, the third strike directly pierced through the blue-clad man's head! The blue-clad man's corpse fell... Luo Feng looked at the blue-clad man's corpse and said softly, “You have a World of Swords, and so do I. Moreover, my battle blade and Duntiansuo are not that different in power!” Sky-Reaching Bridge, seventh level, passed! “Bolan, I'm ahead.” Luo Feng revealed a faint smile, then shot into the sky, flying towards the eighth level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge.
