Chapter 551
Yan Shen Armament
Upon hearing Luo Feng's words, Mo Yilin, the silver-scaled man, and A Shi, the black-horned man, felt a surge of anger. They had indeed come to provoke Luo Feng at Ni Nan's request, but no matter the circumstances, they were both peerless geniuses among the myriad races of the universe. Otherwise, how could they have entered the Taichu Secret Realm?
Geniuses are inherently proud!
"Wasting time?"
To fight them was a waste of time? And these words came from a newcomer who had only recently joined the Virtual Universe Company.
"Let's go, to the Combat Stage." Luo Feng turned and walked out, seemingly eager to resolve the fight quickly.
"Hmph." Mo Yilin watched Luo Feng's retreating back and couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Too arrogant." A Shi's pupils contracted.
The two exchanged glances, then immediately followed Luo Feng out of Hall No. 2.
Many Sector Lords and some Domain Lords in Hall No. 2 had noticed their conversation. Now, seeing the situation unfold, their eyes lit up.
"Interesting."
"A newcomer is clashing with the veterans."
"Usually, the veterans win with overwhelming superiority. But this time, it's hard to say."
"Between Luo Feng and those two, Luo Feng should be stronger. However... if Luo Feng were to compare himself with the strongest five among the Cosmic-level veterans, like Kelo Fu, then Kelo Fu and the others would undoubtedly be superior."
"Let's go, let's watch."
"Perhaps the five geniuses among the Cosmic-level veterans will also make a move."
A group of Sector Lords and Domain Lords, laughing and calling out to friends, walked out in groups of three or five. The top genius among this batch of newcomers, Luo Feng, was going to fight on the Combat Stage—this was a very interesting event.
After all, the Taichu District had a limited number of members. The Sector Lords naturally knew the particularly famous Cosmic-level and Domain-level individuals.
...
The Taichu District covered an immense area and had several Combat Stages built, which usually served as places for Taichu District members to spar, fight, or even engage in wager battles.
At this moment, over a dozen people were gathered at the edge of one such Combat Stage. On the stage, two Domain Lords were currently fighting: one was a tall, burly Black-furred Ape-man, eight meters tall, and the other was a stern, bald youth with complex and eerie patterns on his head.
In an instant, tens of thousands of afterimages were left on the Combat Stage. The Black-furred Ape-man roared, wielding a giant axe nearly ten meters long. Their clash caused the surrounding space to vibrate, with shockwaves radiating outwards.
The ground around the Combat Stage was a mess.
"This time, I lost." A clear, cold voice sounded.
"Haha." A deep, booming voice, as if echoing, came from the Black-furred Ape-man as he looked down at the stern, bald youth. "In the past hundred years, we've fought 10 times, and you've lost 7."
The stern, bald youth closed his eyes, reflecting on the battle he had just fought.
The dozen or so spectators also began to discuss, some preparing to leave, others challenging each other.
"Oh, look!"
"What's happening over there?"
"So many people?"
These dozen people, including the Black-furred Ape-man and the bald youth on the Combat Stage, saw at least sixty or seventy people bustling towards them from a distance! Luo Feng walked at the very front, followed by Mo Yilin and A Shi, and then a large group of Sector Lords and a few Domain Lords. This bustling crowd was indeed eye-catching.
...
Luo Feng observed as he walked, spotting over a dozen people at the edge of one of the distant Combat Stages. None of them were Cosmic-level.
"Which Combat Stage should we choose?" Luo Feng asked.
"You are, after all, just a newcomer. You choose." Mo Yilin, the silver-scaled youth following behind Luo Feng, said indifferently.
"Alright."
Luo Feng stomped his foot, transforming into a streak of light and flying directly to a Combat Stage tens of kilometers away. The silver-scaled youth Mo Yilin and the black-horned youth A Shi also immediately transformed into two streaks of light and flew towards that Combat Stage. At the same time, the other Sector Lords and Domain Lords who were preparing to watch, a large bustling crowd, either flashed several times or flew directly, landing one by one at the edge of that Combat Stage.
"Let's go see."
"With so many people watching, it's probably not an ordinary fight." The dozen or so Domain Lords also flew over, including the Black-furred Ape-man and the bald youth.
...
Luo Feng and the two others landed on the Combat Stage one after another.
Luo Feng glanced at the edge of the distant Combat Stage, mainly Sector Lords, with very few Domain Lords, and surprisingly only two Cosmic-level individuals. One was a Cosmic-level veteran, and the other was the green-haired youth, Jiang Mo. Jiang Mo smiled at Luo Feng, and simultaneously punched the air, transmitting his voice: "Luo Feng, that group of veterans has always looked down on us newcomers. You have to get some revenge for us and teach them a good lesson."
"Of course, and I'll teach them a harsh lesson." Luo Feng also transmitted his voice with a smile.
Just then...
Three figures descended from the sky, landing at the edge of the Combat Stage to watch. One was a youth in silver-gray battle robes, another was a dark-skinned man with thick lips who appeared simple and honest, and the third was a seductive girl with emerald eyes and pointed ears. These three gathered together and looked over.
"These three are all Cosmic-level. The one in the middle is Ni Nan, one of the five great masters among the veterans." Numerous pieces of information quickly surfaced in Luo Feng's mind.
Ever since his teacher, Zhenyan King, reminded him that there were five great masters among the 30 Cosmic-level veterans, Luo Feng had collected some information, specifically about these five. The five great masters were Ni Nan, Yu Feng, Kelo Fu, Ge, and Sajin Huolong. Kelo Fu was the first to pass the seventh level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge, over two thousand years ago. The latest was Ge, who passed it more than three hundred years ago.
"Mo Yilin, teach that kid a lesson!" The dark-skinned man shouted from below.
"A Shi, don't lose to the little guy!" The seductive girl also yelled.
Meanwhile, Ni Nan, the youth in silver-gray battle robes, watched in silence from below.
"Don't worry."
"Just watch how I teach him a lesson."
Mo Yilin and A Shi stared intently at Luo Feng, treating him as a true formidable enemy! Of course, they weren't without a chance of victory, as both of them had passed the sixth level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge a very long time ago, and were quite close to the seventh level! Moreover... strength wasn't solely about comprehension of laws.
Personal combat awareness! Performance! Mindset! Experience!
All of these ultimately determined victory or defeat. Mo Yilin and A Shi were confident that their experience and combat awareness surpassed Luo Feng's.
"Luo Feng, you are too young, and your spirit is too sharp. We will make you understand that you cannot underestimate any opponent," Mo Yilin said. "We are both here now, on the Combat Stage. You can choose either one of us."
"I said, I don't want to waste time." Luo Feng looked at the two. "Both of you, come at me!"
"Both of us?"
Mo Yilin and A Shi were stunned.
The numerous peerless geniuses watching below the Combat Stage erupted in an uproar. Those who could enter the Taichu Secret Realm wouldn't have vastly different strengths. Among the 30 Cosmic-level veterans, five had passed the seventh level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge, and the other 25 had passed the sixth level... and dozens of members in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm also had the strength of the sixth level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge.
What did this signify? It meant that the members of the Taichu Secret Realm were similar in strength! It meant that these 25 individuals ranked high among the geniuses who had passed the sixth level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge!
One against two?
"Mo Yilin, you two teach him a good lesson."
"Teach this kid a lesson!" The crowd below was gradually increasing, and two newly arrived Cosmic-level members immediately shouted angrily.
"This is getting interesting."
"Even more interesting."
...
On the Combat Stage.
Mo Yilin and A Shi exchanged glances and nodded slightly. This was good. If they had to face Luo Feng one-on-one, they weren't very confident. But now that Luo Feng himself wanted to fight two-on-one, their chances of winning together were much greater.
"You brought this upon yourself." Mo Yilin's silver scales on his face formed wrinkles, looking quite ferocious.
"Make your move." A Shi growled.
Luo Feng, from a distance, floated upwards, hovering in mid-air, looking down at his two Cosmic-level opponents. Luo Feng, of course, knew how strong he was, and precisely because he knew, he didn't take these two seriously. The reason for this battle was also to vent some anger for his good brother, Wuka.
"Babata, record the battle video. I'll show it to Wuka later."
"You're quite the show-off."
While communicating telepathically with Babata, a smile appeared on Luo Feng's face, and he then manipulated the dark golden long staff behind him.
"Boom!"
Immediately, countless golden miniature swords shot out in all directions, countless strands of golden light, making it seem as if a golden Sun had appeared behind Luo Feng. Nearly six thousand golden miniature swords almost instantly activated the Universe Origin Space and the two great Laws of Gold and Space. In an instant, the surrounding hundred-kilometer radius of the Combat Stage changed dramatically.
The vast area directly encompassed the space below the Combat Stage.
The Combat Stage? The grass? All disappeared.
Only a boundless world remained, with countless sword energies crisscrossing within it.
Yan Shen Armament's Sixth Stage — Self-Created World, also known as the 'World of Swords'!
"Heavens!"
"This is big trouble!"
Mo Yilin and A Shi, the two peerless geniuses, instantly changed their expressions, their eyes filled with shock.
"This Luo Feng can actually unleash the sixth stage of the Yan Shen Armament?" The large group of Sector Lords and Domain Lords watching were all greatly astonished. This was genuine astonishment. If before they were just looking for entertainment and to see the new peerless genius, now it was almost unbelievable, beyond comprehension.
Because the Yan Shen Armament is incredibly difficult to cultivate!
This was one of the Nine Great Divine Weapons!
It was the strongest divine weapon of the 'Gold and Space' lineage, primarily based on the 'Law of Gold Origin' and supplemented by the Law of Space. The 'Jiuyu Sky-Reaching Bridge' was designed to test comprehension of the Law of Space. Therefore, the seventh level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge tested the corresponding comprehension of the Law of Space!
What did Luo Feng being able to unleash the sixth stage signify?
It meant that not only was his comprehension of the Law of Space high, but his comprehension of the Law of Gold Origin was even higher!
Moreover, there were many ways to challenge the Sky-Reaching Bridge. Assuming the challenger was a Controller, they could choose any opponent: 'Controller, Illusionist, or Warrior.'
Choosing an 'Illusionist' was relatively easier, because Spirit Reader Controllers usually focused on soul defense, making it easier to win.
Choosing a 'Warrior' was the easiest. One could simply maintain distance and directly manipulate psychic weapons to torment the Warrior. Warriors could only struggle to accelerate repeatedly to try and get close to their opponent.
Choosing a 'Controller' was the most difficult! Because if a Controller was chosen, the opponent would be an identical psychic weapon to the challenger's, with identical attack methods!
Using one's strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses!
But choosing an identical Controller would be too troublesome.
"He definitely chose a Controller as the guardian."
"It must be."
"Otherwise, passing the seventh level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge wouldn't necessitate unleashing the 'World of Swords'."
...
On the Combat Stage, Mo Yilin and A Shi looked at the boundless World of Swords around them, with countless sword energies swirling, and the oppressive force of the invisible world power. They were on the verge of despair.
"How can he be so strong?"
"And it's the strongest divine weapon of the Gold and Space lineage?" Their minds were in chaos.
In front of Luo Feng, the power of the World of Swords frantically converged, countless sword energies condensed, finally forming a faintly translucent, pale golden sword tip. This pale golden sword tip shimmered with light; it was the strongest sword energy condensed from the incredibly concentrated 'World of Swords power.' Its might was inconceivable!
"Go!"
Luo Feng softly commanded.
