The sixth level of the fifth Trial Tower.
This was a vast wasteland. On the wasteland were ten enormous dark golden creatures, some lying down, some walking around and patrolling, the Starry Sky Beast, ‘Cang’.
“The target of the sixth level, the Starry Sky Beast, Cang!” Luo Feng looked at the ten Starry Sky Beasts.
He had already learnt detailed information about Cang from his inherited memories.
To be precise,
Cang and the Golden-Horned Beast had a special relationship.
Among the Starry Sky Beasts with the ‘metal attribute’, the Golden-Horned Beast, one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts, naturally ranked first. Cang ranked second. Although there was only a difference between first and second place, their actual combat strength differed by a huge margin.
A Golden-Horned Beast would reach the World Lord level when it matured.
Cang, on the other hand, would only reach the Domain Lord level when it matured!
It was considered quite powerful among the Starry Sky Beasts. Of course, it could not compare with the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts. However, Cang also possessed innate secret techniques. As favoured children of the origin of metal, they were ferocious and possessed astonishing combat power. Although they had no wings, they were naturally capable of flying.
Among the Starry Sky Beasts, there were none that could not fly.
In terms of combat strength, on average, they were slightly stronger than even the most powerful human bloodlines!
The ten Starry Sky Beasts, Cang, before him were about 300 metres long, with tails almost as long as their bodies. Their entire bodies were covered in dark golden scales, with sharp protrusions standing upright along their backs. Their heads were enormous, and their wide, gaping mouths were enough to make one’s heart tremble. Every tooth possessed astonishing biting power. Beneath their bare, heavily scaled heads were a pair of enormous eyes with triangular pupils, cold and bloodthirsty.
“Roar!”
The ten Starry Sky Beasts, Cang, all turned their enormous heads towards the tiny human before them, Luo Feng.
“Interesting.” An even more chilling killing intent appeared in Luo Feng’s eyes!
What would happen when Cang encountered a Golden-Horned Beast?
Now,
Cang had encountered the humanoid Golden-Horned Beast, Luo Feng.
“Boom!”
Luo Feng stepped onto the Dark Cloud Shuttle and instantly transformed into an ethereal streak of light. The ten enormous Starry Sky Beasts, Cang, immediately transformed into streaks of light and pursued him. However, after five years of cultivation, Luo Feng’s speed while riding the Dark Cloud Shuttle was far faster than when he had fought Rong Jun.
It was also strangely agile!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Eight Luo Fengs appeared in mid-air! The ten Starry Sky Beasts, Cang, blinked, seemingly confused about which one they should pursue. They immediately split up and chased after the different figures.
“What arrogant fellows.”
Luo Feng’s figure suddenly condensed, while five golden streaks of light appeared around his body. They were precisely five golden swords, which shot directly towards the nearest Starry Sky Beast, Cang.
That Cang reacted extremely quickly, swinging its powerful claws repeatedly.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Of the five golden swords, two collided with its claws, while the third golden sword was also scattered by its tail.
“Whoosh!”
However, the fourth golden sword directly pierced through its throat and stabbed into its brain, killing it instantly!
Unlike the Golden-Horned Beast, Cang, as a medium-level Starry Sky Beast, did not possess an internal world. Naturally, it had no origin core either. Its life was similar to that of most flesh and blood lifeforms.
Before reaching the Domain Lord level, its soul was located in its brain.
“Roar!” “Roar!”…
After one Cang died, the other nine highly intelligent Cang immediately realised that their enemy was not easy to deal with. They promptly joined forces and no longer separated.
“It’s useless. At most, you’ll only waste a little time.”
Luo Feng understood very clearly that although Starry Sky Beasts possessed enormous strength, extremely high speed, terrifying attack power and extraordinary innate talents, even humans of the same level or one level higher would not dare to confront a Starry Sky Beast head on.
However, Starry Sky Beasts had one weakness,
Their bodies were simply too large!
Their huge size made it troublesome when facing smaller opponents such as humans. This was why Luo Feng had painstakingly cultivated Absolute Space and Origin World. Origin World could reduce his body size, while Absolute Space could increase his agility, enhance his instantaneous explosive power and improve his movement technique.
…
By being able to display eight phantom bodies, combined with his familiarity with Cang’s habits and weaknesses, Luo Feng spent some time in this battle, ten days, but his victory was relatively straightforward.
The main reason was that for the final Cang, Luo Feng deliberately waited until the final half hour of the countdown before killing it.
…
The seventh level of the fifth Trial Tower.
The space blurred for a moment, and Luo Feng entered the seventh level.
“The seventh level is much more troublesome than the sixth level.”
Luo Feng frowned. As a Spiritual Reader Master Controller, he had a great advantage over warriors when facing a siege, because he could quickly escape and evade, using mobile warfare to keep himself in a favourable position.
However, when the number of enemies became frighteningly large, anyone would find it troublesome!
This was an endless desert.
On the green land in the distance of the desert was a spherical object about 120 metres in diameter, its surface covered in pits and hollows, with some poisonous liquid flowing across it and faint poisonous fumes emanating from it.
A diameter of 120 metres was equivalent to a forty-storey building. In other words, on the surface of the enormous mother nest, which was about forty storeys high, the countless pits and hollows suddenly began to release one green, slimy insect race warrior after another.
They had triangular heads covered in green shells, two antennae, large compound eyes, compact and powerful bodies, two hind legs supporting their bodies, and four forelimbs. Their limbs were like battle blades, while two translucent wings grew from their backs.
The enormous mother nest, which was forty storeys high, had countless pits, each more than a metre in diameter. Almost instantly, 1,000 insect race warriors emerged from the surface of the mother nest!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After three consecutive waves, approximately 3,000 insect race warriors emerged, all of them the same species, the Green Mantis.
Green Mantises were one of the most common cannon fodder species among the combat insect races. They were called cannon fodder because of their role on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.
Fortunately, the strength of the entire insect race mother nest had been adjusted. Otherwise, a true insect race mother nest could give birth to many different types of insect races. In terms of function, there were scouts, assassins, long-range attackers, siege units and so on.
If classified according to structure, there would be even more types.
“3,000 Green Mantises.”
Luo Feng looked at the Green Mantises covering the sky and earth, some coming from the ground and others flying towards him. He slightly frowned.
“The mother nest has released all its existing stock at once. The next batch should arrive in twenty minutes.”
The mother nest needed time to give birth to insect race warriors.
These 3,000 had already been nurtured beforehand. Of course, the reproductive ability of a real mother nest would not be this poor. Otherwise, how could they easily occupy an entire galaxy or even a star field?
“Kill!”
A cold light flashed through Luo Feng’s eyes. He instantly transformed into eight phantom bodies and began a terrifying slaughter at his maximum speed.
He directly released the current limit of his control, nine golden swords. Nine sword rays were like lasers, repeatedly piercing through the entire swarm. One Green Mantis after another was killed.
“It is even stronger than I expected.”
Luo Feng frowned slightly.
He could normally control five golden swords with ease, while when fighting desperately, he could control nine golden swords. However, doing so affected their agility, direction and precision.
Because there were now 3,000 insect race warriors, Luo Feng could only fight this way, doing his best to pierce through the heads of each insect race warrior.
However,
“Crack, crack!”
An insect race warrior whose body had been severed in half by a golden sword actually began biting some of the incomplete corpses of its companions nearby. As it devoured them, its body rapidly recovered and became whole again.
“Insect races really are troublesome in this regard.”
The eight phantom bodies constantly appeared in different locations, while the nine golden swords repeatedly pierced through the swarm, desperately trying to penetrate the heads of each insect race warrior.
However, the insect race warriors of the fifth Trial Tower were clearly much more agile and reactive. Moreover, they covered the sky and earth as they swarmed towards him. Their speed was fast, their numbers were huge, and Luo Feng could not retreat too far away. He had to remain relatively close in order to control the Yan Shen Weapon and attack.
Therefore, it was inevitable that he would occasionally be injured.
Twenty minutes later.
There were still 682 insect race warriors alive. Luo Feng’s face was pale, and there was even a wound on his face.
“The second wave is here!”
The surface of the enormous insect race mother nest once again released one red-shelled insect race warrior after another. There were 100 of them in total.
“Not good.”
Luo Feng’s expression changed slightly.
“Blood Mantises! One hundred Blood Mantises!”
The first time, the mother nest had released all the stock it had accumulated over a long period, which consisted of 3,000 Green Mantises.
Every twenty minutes, it could give birth to another 1,000 Green Mantises. However, the mother nest did not necessarily have to give birth to Green Mantises. It could also nurture other, more terrifying insect race warriors, although the quantity would be smaller.
Based on Luo Feng’s desperate efforts, he had killed more than 2,000 of them, leaving only 682 alive.
If the second wave had consisted of another 1,000 Green Mantises, Luo Feng might have suffered serious injuries, but he could still have won.
However, this time they were Blood Mantises, which were far more formidable than the Green Mantises.
In the first four Trial Towers, Luo Feng had never encountered a situation where Blood Mantises appeared.
“This is bad.”
Luo Feng’s expression changed drastically.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The surviving 682 Green Mantises immediately split into 100 small teams. Some teams consisted of six Green Mantises and one Blood Mantis, while others consisted of seven Green Mantises and one Blood Mantis.
In short, they instantly transformed into 100 insect race squads. Under the leadership of the Blood Mantises, they began systematically surrounding Luo Feng and launching a coordinated assault.
“Strong combat power isn’t what I fear. The most troublesome thing is the Blood Mantises’ leadership ability.”
Luo Feng’s expression changed drastically.
According to the knowledge contained in his inherited memories, insect races had extremely low intelligence. However, among the various insect race groups, there were insect race warriors that served as ‘leaders’.
Blood Mantises were often leaders that commanded squads of Green Mantises.
A scattered group of 100 Green Mantises was far less frightening than ten Green Mantises led by a Blood Mantis and moving as one.
The latter was even more terrifying!
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
The 100 insect race squads were like fighter jet formations. Seventy of them directly surrounded and attacked Luo Feng from high in the sky, while thirty squads launched attacks from the ground and beneath the desert.
With the Blood Mantises acting as spearheads, Luo Feng suddenly felt that the situation had become extremely troublesome.
“Kill!”
Luo Feng gritted his teeth. He could only fight desperately!
…
Only five minutes later, Luo Feng’s right arm was severed, his face was pale, and his mental energy had been greatly depleted.
Of the 100 squads, 82 remained, consisting of 82 Blood Mantises and 353 Green Mantises. Luo Feng had killed far more Green Mantises.
“If only I had reached the Nine Line Flow realm. Unfortunately…”
Facing the insect race warriors swarming towards him from all directions, Luo Feng seemed to see the scene of himself being devoured and reduced to scraps.
“Even if I die, I have to kill more of them!”
Luo Feng’s eyes turned red.
“Insect races, all of you die! Die! Die!!!”
Luo Feng stepped onto the Dark Cloud Shuttle, his speed soaring as he went completely berserk. He repeatedly clashed with the 82 insect race squads, sometimes killing a Green Mantis, while struggling greatly to kill even a single Blood Mantis.
When Luo Feng had killed his way through 76 squads, he had completely entered a state of madness.
“Hm?”
Although he was berserk, his heart was extremely cold and calm. This was a characteristic brought about by the Golden-Horned Beast.
Luo Feng sensed the familiar fluctuations of the origin of space and faintly felt that something was different.
“It is like this!”
“This is it!!!”
Luo Feng even sensed that within a certain range around him, a square-shaped domain had formed, resembling a nine-square grid.
In an instant, Luo Feng’s speed increased slightly, while nine phantom bodies appeared around him!
The second level of the Myriad Line Flow secret technique, Nine Line Flow!
Although his speed had only increased slightly, and he had gained only one additional phantom body compared with before,
This was actually a fundamental transformation!
What was a secret technique?
A secret technique was a method of understanding the origin laws and then applying and utilising that understanding to achieve a stronger effect!
If someone comprehended the origin law of space and created three phantom bodies, four phantom bodies, eight phantom bodies, nine phantom bodies and so on, they would feel that the increase in strength was limited.
The difference between eight phantom bodies and nine phantom bodies was not very significant.
However, after cultivating the Myriad Line Flow secret technique, things were different!
‘One Line Flow’ represented one special method of combat.
‘Nine Line Flow’ represented another special method of combat.
For example, one had to reach nine phantom bodies before one could display Nine Line Flow.
Eight phantom bodies were not enough.
…
As for Luo Feng’s Mosha Clan avatar, after long-term cultivation, it had already been capable of displaying more than 100 phantom bodies.
However, the Mosha Clan was the favoured child of space and was naturally capable of displaying them with ease.
Luo Feng, in the Virtual Universe, had always been stuck at the realm of eight phantom bodies with his normal body.
A moment of life and death!
A moment of madness!
Luo Feng finally sensed that special feeling, the same feeling he had when his Mosha Clan avatar displayed Nine Line Flow.
Because he was familiar with that feeling, Luo Feng quickly grasped it.
“Nine Line Flow, haha, Nine Line Flow! I finally succeeded!”
Luo Feng was filled with immense exhilaration.
It had been too difficult. After such a long time, he had finally reached the second level of Myriad Line Flow.
Boom!
Following that familiar feeling of space, Luo Feng instantly moved with the Dark Cloud Shuttle, directly creating a strange, continuous series of phantom bodies.
Each phantom body was spread out, forming a layout similar to a nine-square grid.
The efficiency of Nine Line Flow immediately increased by more than ten times compared with merely using eight phantom bodies.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Luo Feng’s movement technique became incredibly strange, while the golden swords also became unpredictable, every sword extremely sharp.
Sometimes, a single sword would even pierce through several Blood Mantises and Green Mantises at once.
In moments!
Almost all the insect race warriors were slaughtered.
Luo Feng then flashed towards the insect race mother nest, cleaving it open and directly seriously injuring the insect race queen.
He then rested for half a day, allowing his body to fully recover and recuperate.
After that, he directly killed the queen!
He was not waiting any longer!
There was no need to wait another ten days.
Now that Nine Line Flow had been mastered, what meaning was there in delaying for ten days?
From the beginning of the Reincarnation Battle until now, more than five years had passed.
Five years of lying low.
Five years of painstaking cultivation.
At this moment, he had finally stepped into a brand new realm.
Nine Line Flow was far more terrifying than One Line Flow, and Luo Feng’s strength had also soared to a new level.
“The next Trial Tower!”
Luo Feng’s eyes shone brightly.
…
Five years of silence, followed by an eruption that shocked the world!
…
In the central square.
More than a million genius experts, as well as the many undying existences, were all watching the only remaining contestant, Luo Feng, on the sole screen.
The scene of Luo Feng suddenly erupting, displaying nine phantom bodies and sweeping away the entire insect swarm, caused the more than one million genius experts in the central square to fall completely silent.
“Nine Line Flow. He actually reached the Nine Line Flow realm.”
The armoured giant, ‘Thirteen’, stared at the screen, and an astonishing, heart-stirring light also erupted from his eyes.
