That Claw

Moviska had a pair of purple eyes, a high nose, no eyebrows, and thin lips. His gaze was as cold and piercing as a venomous snake's. “Moviska!” Luo Feng stood with his arms crossed, his entire body, save for his head, protected by combat armor. “Don't waste time!” “How arrogant!” Luo Feng's demeanor infuriated Moviska, his face flushing crimson. He instantly drew the battle saber from his back with a sharp clang as it slid from its sheath! “Newcomer, I'll show you… even an ordinary elder isn't someone you can underestimate!” Moviska roared in a low voice, then stomped the ground. The incredibly hard, condensed surface trembled and shattered. The magnetic field of the miniature galaxy within him erupted, propelling him forward at high speed despite the white dwarf star's gravity, which was over 300 million times Earth's standard! Beneath Luo Feng's feet appeared a streamlined, shuttle-shaped psychic weapon—the Dark Cloud Shuttle. Standing on the Dark Cloud Shuttle, he floated slightly, looking down at the enraged Moviska charging towards him! “Hah!” The moment Moviska closed in on Luo Feng, he stomped the ground, using the recoil and his own flying power to rapidly press towards Luo Feng, his right hand gripping the battle saber diagonally… “Die!” A fierce glint flashed in Moviska's purple eyes! The instant he reached Luo Feng! He struck with his saber! Boom! The moment he swung the battle saber, the entire weapon seemed to erupt like a volcano, carrying an irresistible destructive intent as it slashed towards Luo Feng! And where the blade pointed… even the surrounding temperature instantly rose to an astonishing degree. The saber light flashed past Luo Feng's body, and the terrifying saber light, having left the battle saber, directly struck the ground. Swoosh! A deep gash, several kilometers long, was carved directly into the ground. Countless millions of tons of white dwarf star surface material were sent flying in all directions by the strike, only to be violently pulled back down by the immense gravity. Even dark red liquid spewed from the gash, intensely hot. “Hmm?” Moviska, suspended in mid-air, saw his expression change the moment his strike missed. “Good saber technique, but unfortunately, you're too slow.” A faint voice drifted over. Moviska spun around sharply. In the distance, Luo Feng stood calmly on the Dark Cloud Shuttle, observing Moviska. Controlling a flying psychic weapon is highly dependent on psychic strength. With the same comprehension of laws, the speed at which a Universe-level expert and a Domain Lord expert control psychic weapons naturally differs greatly! Although Luo Feng currently only had 90% of his consciousness in the Virtual Universe, his psychic amplitude strength had reached over 1900, more than 20 times higher than the 70-80 before receiving the inheritance! Even at 90%, it was still over 20 times! This allowed Luo Feng to use the Dark Cloud Shuttle with significantly greater proficiency than before, especially under extreme conditions. “Good saber technique. Seeing that strike of yours was worth it.” Luo Feng said, standing on the Dark Cloud Shuttle. Simultaneously, the dark golden staff on his back instantly shot out thousands of golden lights. These golden lights rapidly combined, ultimately transforming into an ancient, dark golden longsword. This sword hung in the sky, causing space itself to subtly tremble. The Fifth Stage of the Yan Shen Weapon—Spatial Cleave! “Use the Sixth Stage!” Moviska, who had landed on the ground in the distance, roared in fury. “Luo Feng, you're humiliating me!” All these elders knew that Luo Feng could unleash the Sixth Stage of the Yan Shen Weapon, 'Sword World'. “The Fifth Stage is enough!” Luo Feng said from mid-air. Whoosh! The dark golden longsword instantly sliced through hundreds of meters. As it flew, it even stirred the surrounding cosmic space, carrying the pressure of the entire cosmic space. One could even see the ripples of cosmic space with the naked eye… In an instant, it arrived before Moviska. Under the spatial pressure, Moviska roared with a ferocious expression, “Luo Feng! Use the Sixth Stage!!!” At the same time, he forcefully unleashed his saber strike, imbued with the intent of a volcanic eruption! The dark golden longsword was simply too fast, and the spatial pressure it exerted further diminished the power of Moviska's saber strike. Swoosh! The dark golden longsword was incomparably sharp, piercing through Moviska's combat armor and then into his flesh! “Explode!” Luo Feng murmured softly from mid-air in the distance. Immediately, the dark golden longsword, embedded within Moviska, automatically split apart, transforming into countless small golden swords that rampaged through Moviska's body. With a boom, countless sword lights burst forth from all over Moviska's body. The defense of his combat armor, now devoid of Moviska's primal energy, was clearly greatly reduced. Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Thousands of golden lights shot out from Moviska's body, accompanied by spurting blood, which was then violently pulled down to the ground by the white dwarf star's terrifying gravity. The blood of a Universe-level Ninth Tier expert, having undergone repeated life evolutions, had undergone astonishing changes in its material composition. Even the white dwarf star's immense gravity could not cause the atomic and molecular structure within the blood to collapse. Moviska's corpse crashed heavily to the ground. “The same 'Spatial Cleave' technique yields different power when wielded by different individuals.” Luo Feng landed beside Moviska's corpse, his eyes calm as he gazed at the riddled body. He murmured, “And I am far stronger now than before, so this Spatial Cleave technique, when I use it, is also far more powerful!” He glanced down at the screen on his armguard. After his name, it displayed '1 win, 0 draws, 0 losses, 1 point'. … Time marched on, and battles unfolded one after another! The Virtual Universe Company's internal qualification battles were essentially a distribution of internal resources. Everyone wanted to enter the Primal Secret Region because— The resources obtained by members of the Primal Secret Region were astonishing. Simply at the 'Universe-level', the Primal Secret Region meant having powerful, formidable Immortals specifically assigned to teach, and one could even change Immortal teachers according to their preferences. Those who served as teachers… were typically Marquis-level! Furthermore, there were more 'cultivation missions' available. Luo Feng was well aware that behind every cultivation mission likely lay some hidden secrets. Such as the Beast God's secret in the Xueluo World, or the inheritance secret of the Demonic Mountain. At the 'Domain Lord' stage, members of the Primal Secret Region could attain even higher positions! These extremely high positions… represented astonishing power, and with great power came the ability to naturally mobilize vast military forces of the Virtual Universe Company, yielding immense benefits. At the 'Sector Lord' stage, the benefits were even more astounding. The cost for the Virtual Universe Company to cultivate each Sector Lord would likely bankrupt even a King-level Immortal! Universe-level—Domain Lord—Sector Lord! The further one progressed, the more astonishing the resources the Virtual Universe Company invested. Sector Lords have extremely long lifespans, up to ten million years… Within ten million years, a thousand Star-level genius battles and a thousand Universe-level expert battles could be held. Moreover, many Sector Lords only truly began to grow stronger in their later stages… like the Time Sector Lord 'Luo'! And some powerful Sector Lords might only truly display their talent at the Domain Lord or Sector Lord stage. Vast stretches of time! The Virtual Universe Company recruits from all 1008 Cosmic Nations in the entire universe, yet the Primal Secret Region only cultivates 100 Sector Lords. Why? Because of the immense cost! The Virtual Universe Company wouldn't dare to cultivate them so lavishly. Therefore… Firstly, for glory! Secondly, to go further in the future, everyone wanted to enter the Primal Secret Region! … “The benefits of being in the Primal Secret Region continuously increase.” Luo Feng was in the study of his manor in Taichu District. Before him, a screen floated, displaying a battle involving 'Pharmacist Yu Feng'. “At the Universe-level, the various resources in the Primal Secret Region are already abundant.” “Domain Lord-level Primal Secret Region members become powerful regional governors. I hear that Primal Secret Region members who become regional governors wield incredibly astonishing power. Power represents wealth! Opportunity! Strength!” “Sector Lord-level Primal Secret Region members receive even more astonishing benefits!” Luo Feng mused silently. The more resources, the greater the difficulty! Entering the Primal Secret Region as a Sector Lord is hundreds, even thousands of times harder than entering as a Universe-level. “Therefore, one must lead from the very beginning!” “One step ahead, always ahead!” Luo Feng watched the battle of Pharmacist Yu Feng on the screen, his brows furrowing slightly. “This Yu Feng is actually a psychic master and a pharmacist… Look at his opponents, they're completely helpless.” On the screen, a warrior held two axes, attempting to fight, but his body's muscles twitched uncontrollably. If a warrior's muscles twitched uncontrollably while trying to unleash a special technique… Then they naturally couldn't execute the technique. Swoosh! His head was then severed. “Pharmacists are a very niche and small system, difficult to achieve much in.” Luo Feng searched through a large amount of pharmacist data, watching Yu Feng's every battle repeatedly. … “Hah!” Krofu roared, his face ferocious, as he instantly streaked across the sky, his right hand raised high into a claw shape, unleashing a fierce claw strike from mid-air! Rip! A super golden giant claw, visible to the naked eye, appeared between heaven and earth. Composed purely of energy and the power of laws, the giant claw tore through… the entire space seemed to rip apart. Sajin Huolong, one of the five great experts, roared with all his might, but the giant claw ripped through him, and his entire body instantly split apart, as if cut by a laser blade! “Rumble~~~” The golden giant claw continued its descent towards the prosperous city below. The entire city was instantly torn apart and deeply gouged. The entire continental plate seemed to have several deep trenches carved into it! … Watching this battle on the screen, Luo Feng's expression was solemn. This was the first time the six great experts (including Luo Feng) fought each other in the qualification battles. Previously, Luo Feng had watched many of Werewolf Krofu's battles, where he instantly defeated his opponents, making it impossible to discern Krofu's true strength. But this time… Krofu unleashed a special technique. And it was incredibly fierce! A claw strike from mid-air! It tore apart Sajin Huolong, and tore apart a continent! “This claw strike, in terms of comprehension of laws, has already surpassed my own comprehension of 'Space and Gold'.” Luo Feng's expression was solemn. “Even compared to my Golden Horned Beast's Sky-Rending Claw… perhaps its power is much weaker. But in terms of law comprehension, it has already surpassed it, and its application is incredibly subtle, with very concentrated power. Tearing apart a continent without causing it to explode, that's impressive!”
