First Battle

Telekinetic power shattered the ice layer, sending countless shards flying across the sky. Amidst the swirling ice fragments, a figure soared from the distant horizon. Luo Feng stood above the icy sea, discerning the figure faintly through the dancing ice shards. “Haha, human, you dare to show yourself!” A powerful voice pierced the void, exploding in Luo Feng's ears. Simultaneously, a formidable divine power surged outwards in all directions, instantly pulverizing the ice shards into nothingness. In an instant, the sky cleared, and the world became serene. Luo Feng clearly saw the powerful being in the distance. It possessed a lower body resembling a lion's, with four hooves, and an upper body akin to a human's, complete with four thick arms. Its physique was dark greenish-black, as if sculpted from metal. A piece of information surfaced in Luo Feng's mind. Galloping Thunder King, ranked 12th in the Ice Prison, proficient in the Law of Time. “It's him,” Luo Feng thought with a start. “Although his ranking is slightly lower than White Bone King, the top ten King-tier experts are actually quite similar in strength. Moreover, Galloping Thunder King specializes in the Law of Time, while I excel at instantaneous speed. But if I get caught in a time-stop, I'll be in trouble. He counters me.” Though he felt troubled, an even stronger fighting spirit ignited within him. “Why wouldn't I dare to show myself?” Luo Feng's voice echoed through the heavens and earth as he gazed at the distant Galloping Thunder King. “Do you think I fear you, Galloping Thunder King? Even White Bone King couldn't do anything to me, let alone someone ranked lower than him.” “Human, don't you know that two of the Five Great Overlords are looking for you!” Galloping Thunder King's voice boomed. Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat. Five Great Overlords? They represented the strongest combat power in the Ice Prison, and three of them were special lifeforms. Luo Feng naturally felt wary. “Yinmou and Xue Wo have both been searching for you,” Galloping Thunder King continued. “All special lifeforms,” Luo Feng muttered to himself. “Haha, so what if they've been looking for me? Am I supposed to stay hidden forever?” Luo Feng laughed heartily. “Indeed, their search for you is futile, because... today, you will die by my hand.” Galloping Thunder King's voice was like rolling thunder, his fighting spirit soaring. “Human, prepare to die!” These few words, specifically mentioning that Yinmou and Xue Wo, those two great special lifeforms, were searching for Luo Feng, were clearly intended to unsettle him. The battle erupted in an instant. In the far distance, over thirty alien powerhouses were scattered, observing the battle from afar. “The human is clashing with Galloping Thunder King.” “That human might suffer a great loss.” “The human is incredibly fast.” Above the icy sea, the battle between Luo Feng and Galloping Thunder King instantly escalated into a frenzy. “Thunder God's Stomp!” Galloping Thunder King roared, charging at Luo Feng like a wild ox that had cultivated into an immortal deity. Its four hooves stomped on the void, causing it to crackle and electric serpents to dart out. What made Luo Feng most uncomfortable was that Galloping Thunder King seemed to accelerate dozens of times in an instant, then abruptly slow down. Under this bizarre flow of time, before Luo Feng could even react, Galloping Thunder King was suddenly right in front of him. Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! Galloping Thunder King's four hooves stomped directly at Luo Feng! Each stomp... was terrifyingly heavy. The electric serpents that splattered from the impact were enough to turn a planet into dust. “Bang!” Luo Feng was directly stomped on his back. His Slayer Wu Wings endured hundreds of consecutive stomps, sending Luo Feng plummeting into the icy sea below. Boom~~~ The icy sea exploded, raising colossal waves, and a silver light shot up from the waves, revealing an unharmed Luo Feng. “Galloping Thunder King, take this move from me too.” Amidst the towering waves of the icy sea, Luo Feng flung out eight black spheres, while secretly unleashing his soul attack, 'Soul Blade'. Galloping Thunder King charged again, his four hooves stomping the void. Simultaneously, four ancient, mottled chains appeared in his hands. Each of his four arms was wrapped around a chain, with electric serpents coiling along them. Just as he prepared to meet Luo Feng's telekinetic weapon attack, the invisible 'Soul Blade' descended directly. A hint of pain suddenly appeared on Galloping Thunder King's rock-carved face. “Human!” Galloping Thunder King roared, already brandishing the four chains. Swish, swish, swish~~~ The four mottled chains, teeming with electric serpents, danced, causing the flow of time in the surrounding space to constantly fluctuate. “Mark of Thunder and Lightning!” One of Galloping Thunder King's dancing chains shot out like a striking viper, a streak of lightning appearing in the sky, directly pouncing on the newly formed Beast God Phantom. The Beast God immediately dodged, its tail transforming into a whip-like shadow, lashing directly at the streak of lightning. Bang! All eight black spheres struck the mottled chains, but each was repelled and flung away. “Human, besides being fast at escaping, what other tricks do you have?” Galloping Thunder King laughed wildly, his four hooves stomping the void as he charged at Luo Feng. The four mottled chains he wielded... each contained a heart-stopping aura. As the chains danced, the surroundings became entirely the domain of the lightning chains. Luo Feng flipped his hand, recalling the eight stars. He glanced at Galloping Thunder King, musing, “My 'One-Line Whip Shadow' is indeed a step behind when compared to Galloping Thunder King, White Bone King, and Black Ti King.” Whoosh! With a spread of his wings, he left a winding trail in mid-air, widening the distance between himself and Galloping Thunder King. “Don't run!” Galloping Thunder King roared. He had finally witnessed what was known as the 'Ice Prison's Number One Speed'. Luo Feng, however, didn't even spare him a glance, instead focusing on the palm of his left hand. “Let's see how effective this telekinetic weapon attack, which I've spent a century researching, truly is.” A hint of anticipation gleamed in Luo Feng's eyes. Instantly, complex law secret patterns were etched into the Star Chart integrated into his palm. Such intricate law secret patterns required a full 16 stars to fully bear. Of the 16 stars, eight faintly glowed with a purple halo, while the other eight had none. “Go forth, and unleash the power of 'Striking Lightning Rushing Star'!” Luo Feng's eyes were filled with expectation. The 16 stars hovering above his palm shot up, thousands of golden threads connecting them, stirring the fundamental laws of the universe. Above the icy sea, a colossal Beast God Phantom, over a thousand meters tall, materialized. The Beast God's overall form was hazy, as if condensed from mist, seemingly on the verge of collapse at any moment. Only its tail was distinct, with clear, overlapping scales forming a colossal, over thousand-meter-long Beast God tail. An invisible, domineering pressure emanated from this tail, while the rest of the Beast God's body seemed like mere air. “Haha, this phantom is even worse than the last one; a single breath could shatter it!” Galloping Thunder King's laughter shook the heavens, but his eyes were fixed on the Beast God Phantom's tail. He, too, sensed the immense threat it posed. “Go!” The four dancing chains simultaneously transformed into four streaks of lightning, darting towards the Beast God Phantom. “Roar~~~” The Beast God Phantom stood tall in mid-air. As the four mottled chains shot towards it... its scaled tail, like that of a true Beast God, moved. Whoosh-boom! Its movement was terrifyingly swift. The scaled tail struck the chains almost instantly, even as the other three chains coiled in to attack. But under the lashing of this scaled tail... all four chains vibrated and twisted, sent flying backward in disarray. “Good.” Luo Feng, who had been watching the power of this move with anticipation, immediately showed delight. “To think it could directly repel Galloping Thunder King's attack! Indeed, as long as I fully dedicate myself to researching telekinetic weapon techniques to wield the Star Chart, this supreme treasure 'Star Chart' will not disappoint me.” In the far distance, the dozens of alien powerhouses observing the battle in the Ice Prison, though scattered, were all dumbfounded. Their time in the Ice Prison had been long, but a mere century was too short for them. They hadn't expected that the human, who a century ago could only flee before White Bone King, could now directly repel Galloping Thunder King. “He possesses the strength of a top ten King-tier expert?” “How could his progress be so rapid?” “It's outrageous.” Luo Feng himself knew it wasn't outrageous at all. Every star within this Star Chart was a supreme treasure. Especially with the 16 stars forming a perfect whole through the connection of the scroll, and with the secret technique Luo Feng employed, their power was further amplified! That's why the 'Star Chart' could be considered a supreme treasure. Without the scroll integrating them, individual scattered stars, no matter if there were ten, a hundred, or a thousand, would not qualify as a supreme treasure. “Only by creating a peak ultimate technique can I truly live up to this supreme treasure,” Luo Feng thought with secret delight. “However, according to the descriptions of the rankings, Galloping Thunder King's supreme treasure chains can merge into one, which is their strongest power. And he still hasn't used 'Time Stop'. I can't be careless.” Meanwhile, above the Eastern Ice Prison, a black-armored figure was slowly flying. He was one of the two servants under Yinmou, one of the Five Great Overlords. The black-armored servant was searching for the human. “They say I'm looking for the human, but I'm really just taking a stroll,” the black-armored servant thought, a relaxed expression on his face. “How easy could it be to find that human? I might as well wander around. Everyone in the Ice Prison knows I'm Yinmou's servant; no one would dare lay a hand on me. Such freedom.” “Hmm?” The black-armored servant suddenly turned his head towards the icy sea. “Energy fluctuations?” “Let's go take a look.” The black-armored servant instantly teleported. Whoosh! He appeared high in the sky, roughly ten million kilometers from the battleground. The black-armored servant looked into the distance and immediately spotted two figures, one large and one small, ten million kilometers away. The larger one was the colossal Beast God Phantom, and the smaller one was Galloping Thunder King. “Galloping Thunder King is fighting a giant beast. Where did this giant beast come from? Oh, no—” The black-armored servant's eyes widened as he quickly spotted the even smaller human figure. “It's the human.” “The human is actually here! Right, that Beast God Phantom is caused by his telekinetic weapon attack, the intelligence reports mentioned it long ago.” The black-armored servant was overjoyed. “Haha, I actually found the human! I've earned a great merit, a huge merit! My master will surely be thrilled when he finds out. Yes, I must report to my master immediately.” The black-armored servant immediately teleported, vanishing from above the Eastern Ice Prison and reappearing at the entrance of Yinmou's palace in the Northern Ice Prison.
