Chapter 734
Great Shock
The two golden blades clashed instantly! The cosmic space, subtly vibrating under the star's flames, violently ruptured, revealing a visible black chasm. Numerous weaker cosmic spaces shattered directly, and countless spatial fragments howled past like a storm. The black chasm, just born, quickly vanished. The broad-hilted golden blade, after being forced back thousands of kilometers in mid-air, flashed again, tearing a gash in the high sky, and once more slashed towards the 3.3-meter-long Yan Shen Blade. The Yan Shen Blade, however, was forced back tens of thousands of kilometers, then flashed and flew back again. “I have the advantage,” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up at the sight. In truth, the opponent could unleash the perfect form of the Yan Shen Blade—a flawless 3.3-meter-long Yan Shen Blade formed by the combination of all 10,081 small golden blades. However, it couldn't display its legendary ability to 'traverse the void.' If the opponent possessed peak Realm Lord strength, then with the terrifying World Power of a peak Realm Lord... driving the perfect Yan Shen Blade would allow it to traverse the void, disappearing and reappearing unpredictably, making it elusive and unfathomable. However, the opponent was only a Ninth-tier Domain Lord, and thus couldn't make the perfect Yan Shen Blade traverse the void! The reason was simple. Fundamental power was crucial. Even if a Planet-level monster could wield the Yan Shen Blade to its ninth stage, it could at most combine the blades... but if driven by Planet-level mental force, the Yan Shen Blade's flight speed would be pitifully slow, utterly unable to match a Realm Lord's agile dodging and movement speed. ... Of course, while the opponent was at a disadvantage, Luo Feng was also at one. The body Luo Feng used in the Virtual Universe Network was a physical constitution uniformly generated by the Virtual Universe. His Ninth-tier Domain Lord mental force was a thousand times weaker compared to a peak Realm Lord! If Luo Feng reached peak Realm Lord level, driving the broad-hilted golden blade with his terrifying 'Beast God Intent'... its power would be absurdly immense! ... “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” In the outer space of the star, the broad-hilted golden blade and the Yan Shen Blade clashed repeatedly. The Yan Shen Blade was insidious and cold, like a patient assassin, flickering in and out of existence, appearing and disappearing in a flash. But once it seized an opportunity, it would strike with devastating force! The broad-hilted golden blade, on the other hand, was incredibly domineering, like a true overlord, faintly imbued with a trace of the Beast God's tyrannical and savage aura. It flashed and slashed through the starry sky repeatedly, as if charging headlong. Of course, in terms of mental force weapon control, what seemed crude and simple actually possessed a hint of returning to primordial simplicity. The clash of the two golden blades was a struggle between an assassin and an overlord. And clearly... The overlord held the upper hand. “This is the true Golden Blade Slicing the Void! Containing absolute dominance, absolute will, slicing cosmic space apart with a single strike!” Luo Feng was completely immersed in the trace of Beast God Intent he had grasped. Each time the broad-hilted golden blade swept across the sky, it left a spatial gash, and every impact of the golden blade caused a massive spatial collapse. Fight! The broad-hilted golden blade clearly held the advantage, suppressing the opponent repeatedly, forcing the Yan Shen Blade to continuously retreat, its range shrinking. “Die!” Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed, certain he could deliver the killing blow. “Whoosh!” The broad-hilted golden blade, like a sharp golden thread, sliced through space and simultaneously thrust towards the opponent's flame-armored figure. The Yan Shen Blade tried to obstruct it. But the broad-hilted golden blade merely flashed past, continuing its thrust towards the flame-armored figure! It was a mutually destructive tactic: 'You stab me, I don't care, I just need to stab you to death.' “No!” The flame-armored figure retreated rapidly on its Dark Cloud Shuttle, while also controlling the Yan Shen Blade to stab at Luo Feng in the distance. Alas... In the previous clashes, Luo Feng had already suppressed the opponent's Yan Shen Blade to a very small area around the flame-armored figure. Thus, the broad-hilted golden blade reached the flame-armored figure instantly, while the Yan Shen Blade would take a long time to fly to Luo Feng. Such a significant time difference... Also determined the outcome of this battle! “Puchi!” The broad-hilted golden blade whistled past the flame-armored figure's body, and countless powerful sword energies instantly tore the figure apart, shattering its core. Thirteenth floor! Passed! ... On the central island of the Sky-Reaching Bridge plane, 86 Immortal Gods looked up at the live broadcast on the screen. When Luo Feng finally killed his opponent and successfully passed the Thirteenth Floor, all the Immortal Gods present, including Zhenyan King, were utterly stunned. A Domain Lord passing the Thirteenth Floor? How long had it been since such a feat occurred? Historically, such peerless geniuses had certainly appeared, but every single one of them was a renowned figure, and 99% of those Domain Lord geniuses in history had cultivated for longer than Luo Feng. After all, to cultivate for merely a few hundred years and pass the Thirteenth Floor... how could the top-ranked peerless genius among the veteran Domain Lords of the Primal Secret Region, who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years and only reached the Eleventh Floor, possibly cope with such a comparison? The Eleventh Floor and the Thirteenth Floor were entirely different concepts. Especially from the Twelfth to the Thirteenth Floor, it was a major hurdle, incredibly difficult to overcome. “This, it’s only been a few hundred years, right?” “This Luo Feng...” “He, he actually passed the Thirteenth Floor!” “From the Eighth Floor to the Thirteenth Floor, he passed six consecutive floors?” This group of Immortal Gods, including the supervisor Bafen, watched with bated breath. Not a single person spoke... they were utterly stunned by Luo Feng's feat of passing six consecutive floors and repeatedly creating miracles. Faced with such absolute shock and monstrous performance, they were simply speechless. ... Luo Feng stood at the end of the Thirteenth Floor of the Sky-Reaching Bridge, while the Sky-Reaching Bridge continued to extend deeper into the star. “I won the Thirteenth Floor with great difficulty; my advantage is already very small. I probably don't have much hope for the Fourteenth Floor. Although I'm not confident, I still have to try.” Luo Feng quickly flew onto the Fourteenth Floor of the Sky-Reaching Bridge, continuously flying inward, soon penetrating deep into the star's flames... continuing deeper into the sea of fire. Although it was incredibly scorching, it was nothing for a Ninth-tier Domain Lord's physical constitution. After all, a Ninth-tier Domain Lord's flight speed could exceed ten thousand kilometers per second, and even Universe-level beings could fight on white dwarfs. The physical strength of a Ninth-tier Domain Lord was thus imaginable. “Chichichi~~~” Endless flames surrounded him. The Fourteenth Floor of the Sky-Reaching Bridge had reached its end. Luo Feng stood at the bridge's terminus, still choosing a Controller as his opponent. This time, the opponent was still the 'flame-armored figure.' “A Domain Lord capable of passing the Thirteenth Floor, your future is boundless,” the flame-armored figure said, its golden eyes fixed on Luo Feng. “If you choose a Controller, from the Thirteenth to the Fifteenth Floor, the Yan Shen Blade's ninth stage is used. However, while it's the same move... its power varies greatly. If you haven't held back any strength before, then you will have no chance of victory.” Luo Feng listened with a smile. 'Immortals Can Also Be Felled' was the Yan Shen Blade's strongest and most perfect move. Just like the move 'Sword World,' it was used from the Seventh to the Ninth Floor. 'Immortals Can Also Be Felled' being used from the Thirteenth to Fifteenth Floor was also within expectations. “Boom!” Both sides unleashed their Yan Shen Blades simultaneously. They clashed instantly! “Chih!” The Yan Shen Blade first grazed Luo Feng's broad-hilted golden blade, then swayed slightly, swift as lightning, elusive and ghostly, instantly piercing through Luo Feng's body and tearing him apart. A graze, a sway, a thrust. Luo Feng had no chance to struggle and was instantly defeated. “As expected, it's just as described in the basic 'Yan Shen Thirty-Six Stages' I studied; the move 'Immortals Can Also Be Felled' also has several power tiers,” this thought flashed through Luo Feng's mind before he dissipated and was kicked out of the Sky-Reaching Bridge plane. Luo Feng defeated! This Sky-Reaching Bridge challenge officially ended, his progress halted by failure on the Fourteenth Floor. ... When the 86 Immortal Gods on the central island of the Sky-Reaching Bridge plane, along with the supervisor Bafen, saw Luo Feng finally fail on the Fourteenth Floor on the screen, the many gods who had been holding their breath in tense silence finally let out a long sigh. “He finally lost.” “He, too, can lose.” The many Immortal Gods laughed, even discussing it with a hint of mockery. But immediately afterward, an endless shock surged within the hearts of these Immortal Gods. They had actually been suppressed by Luo Feng's monstrous performance, and it wasn't their fault... Luo Feng's performance this time was simply too terrifying. How many floors did the entire Sky-Reaching Bridge even have? Reaching the Eighteenth Floor meant reaching the King-level. Reaching the Fifteenth Floor meant reaching the Marquis-level. Reaching the Tenth Floor was the level of an ordinary Immortal God. Of course, comprehension of laws didn't mean a Realm Lord was weaker than an Immortal. Many Realm Lords, upon becoming Immortal, would directly be conferred Marquis or even King titles. Luo Feng passing the Thirteenth Floor in one go—if it were a Realm Lord who had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, passing the Thirteenth Floor wouldn't be shocking at all. But for a Domain Lord who had cultivated for only a few hundred years to pass the Thirteenth Floor in one go... that was simply beyond logical imagination. “Zhenyan King, congratulations, congratulations.” “Haha, what a good disciple you have.” “Congratulations.” The group of Immortal Gods all laughed. “Hahahaha...” Zhenyan King was also incredibly happy, secretly thinking, “This kid certainly hides his strength well. He must have had some special encounters. When he usually consults me, that's his true comprehension of laws. But during this Sky-Reaching Bridge challenge... he must have used some special secret techniques to boost his strength. He's truly a monster! To pass the Thirteenth Floor in just a few hundred years, when he couldn't even pass the First Floor when he first arrived at Chaos City.” “Longyu,” Zhenyan King looked at Longyu King, “You'd better be careful. There will surely be many Universe Venerables who take an interest in my disciple.” Longyu King glanced at Zhenyan King. Whoosh. She vanished into thin air, clearly rushing to report to Nine Swords Venerable. She knew well... Luo Feng's monstrous performance was entirely capable of shocking those super-beings. Immediately after, many other Immortal Gods also quickly left to report back, while Zhenyan King laughed heartily before departing as well. Only the supervisor Bafen remained on the entire island. Supervisor Bafen took a deep breath: “This Luo Feng's performance is simply too, too...” Supervisor Bafen then quietly began sending mass emails. For a peerless figure like this, who might only appear once every ten million eras, he naturally wouldn't dare not report it. ... “What did you say?” Nine Swords Venerable, seated high on his throne in the grand hall, suddenly stood up, looking down at Longyu King below. “Luo Feng passed six consecutive floors and has successfully cleared the Thirteenth Floor,” Longyu King respectfully reported. ... “Reporting, Venerable, there is absolutely no falsehood. This Luo Feng indeed passed the Thirteenth Floor in one go. I know that among the ten veterans of the Domain Lord Primal Secret Region, the strongest only passed the Eleventh Floor... Venerable, please see, this is the video.” ... “A few hundred years, a hundred times stronger than other peerless Domain Lord geniuses who cultivated for tens of thousands of years? Is he perhaps a peerless figure on the level of Ke Di?” ... The reports from this group of Immortal Gods and supervisor Bafen caused news of this Sky-Reaching Bridge challenge to instantly spread throughout almost all the high-ranking members of the Virtual Universe Company.
