“I will show you that the fifth level of the Yan Shen Weapon is not necessarily stronger than the fourth level!” Luo Feng thought to himself. Standing atop the Dark Cloud Shuttle, he looked from afar at the golden afterimage stabbing towards him on the surface of the Heavenly Bridge. Luo Feng had already released a golden airflow resembling a ribbon, wrapping around the golden totem pillar.
Boom~~~ The golden totem pillar began rolling. It seemed slow, yet in an instant it had already blocked the golden afterimage.
“It actually blocked it? Cutting!” The silver clothed man’s gaze turned cold.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~”
The dark golden long sword was like lightning as it directly stabbed into the golden totem pillar. Amidst a series of booming sounds, the surface of the golden totem pillar immediately trembled where it was struck. Some golden threads snapped, and the small golden swords began floating about.
“Combine.” With a thought from Luo Feng, those floating golden swords immediately merged back into the golden totem pillar. The golden threads containing the power of laws intertwined once more, restoring the golden totem pillar.
“What powerful Space Cutting. No wonder it is the fifth level.” Luo Feng was secretly shocked. He was not merely studying the Origin Law of Space. His Golden Horned Beast body had never relaxed its study and comprehension of the Origin Law of Gold either. The Origin Law of Gold contained the characteristic of being indestructible, which made the resulting golden totem pillar extremely difficult to destroy.
He had not expected that after a single exchange, the golden totem pillar would already be on the verge of collapse.
“Haha……” A trace of disdain appeared in the silver clothed man’s eyes as he laughed loudly. “Kid, you want to challenge the fifth level while you are only at the Universe Level? Dream on! Go back and practise for another thousand years!”
Whoosh!
The dark golden long sword once again swept across the sky.
Luo Feng’s expression turned cold. “Nine Line Cycle!”
Boom, boom, boom~~~ The golden totem pillar surged forwards through the air, as though a giant were holding it and thrusting it forwards. The golden totem pillar once again collided with the body of the dark golden long sword that was trying to evade it. With a loud bang, the dark golden afterimage was knocked backwards, while the golden totem pillar also trembled slightly.
“Hmm?” The silver clothed man’s expression changed. “It blocked it again?”
Whoosh!
The dark golden long sword once again transformed into an afterimage. The surrounding space faintly trembled as it carried layer upon layer of blurred afterimages and stabbed towards Luo Feng once more.
“Boom!” A long series of phantoms appeared in mid air as the golden totem pillar seemingly moved slowly, yet instantly appeared before the incredibly fast dark golden long sword and collided with it once again.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dark golden long sword transformed into one golden phantom after another, like a fish swimming through space, repeatedly darting towards Luo Feng. Yet the golden totem pillar strangely moved at an apparently slow speed, intercepting the dark golden long sword time and time again. With every collision, the golden totem pillar was actually able to remain intact.
“How can it be this fast?” The silver clothed man frowned.
“My fourth level is different from the fourth level of the Yan Shen Weapon used by the opponent on the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge.” A smile appeared on Luo Feng’s face as he thought to himself.
That was right!
This was the foundation Luo Feng relied upon to challenge the fifth level, the Nine Line Cycle!
After fully comprehending the nine most fundamental sword techniques in the Rain Drop Diagram, each sword technique represented one basic profound principle. They could cause a weapon to attack along exquisite “wave curves”. However, the spatial vibrations were extremely complicated, with all kinds of fluctuations, like turbulent undercurrents in the sea. Luo Feng could not adapt to every undercurrent.
Only when he encountered an undercurrent he could adapt to could he make his speed reach an astonishing level.
The nine basic profound principles Luo Feng had comprehended should be considered the most superficial and fundamental nine principles within the essence of the Origin Law of Space.
Therefore, at any point in space, one of these profound principles would be present. This allowed Luo Feng to cycle through these nine profound principles, enabling the golden totem pillar to maintain an astonishing speed.
Moreover!
Based on this characteristic, Luo Feng had combined it with the “Nine Line Flow” from the《Ten Thousand Threads Flow》. Through their combination, he had created what he considered to be a perfect form of control, the “Nine Line Cycle”!
“With me as the centre and a radius of 500 metres, this is the absolute control region of my Nine Line Cycle!” Luo Feng stood atop the Dark Cloud Shuttle and suddenly charged towards the distant silver clothed man. “That is right, absolute control!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The golden totem pillar instantly seemed to transform into nine golden totem pillars. Within the spherical region with a radius of 500 metres, it repeatedly intercepted the dark golden long sword.
“Die!” Luo Feng controlled the golden totem pillar to block his opponent’s dark golden long sword while rapidly approaching him. Once the distance between the two was close enough to pull his opponent into his “absolute control region”, he would only need to control the golden totem pillar to easily kill his opponent!
“Hmm?” The silver clothed man’s expression changed. He immediately stood atop the Dark Cloud Shuttle. In an instant, nearly a thousand phantom bodies appeared in mid air as he fled into the distance.
“I admit that you are very strong, but you want to defeat me just like this? Dream on!” The silver clothed man roared through mental transmission. His eyes were filled with fury as he looked towards the golden totem pillar not far from Luo Feng and growled, “Break it for me!”
At once, the previously incredibly fast and unpredictable dark golden long sword, which had repeatedly attempted to bypass the golden totem pillar, stopped trying to “bypass the golden totem pillar” and instead chose to “destroy the golden totem pillar”!
“Boom!” The dark golden long sword transformed into a golden laser and violently smashed into the golden totem pillar. It struck the surface of the golden totem pillar with tremendous force. Large numbers of golden threads on the surface of the pillar immediately snapped, while the golden swords scattered and floated about. Luo Feng’s previously confident expression changed. “Not good!”
The dark golden long sword did not stop at all. It once again smashed violently into the golden totem pillar. Luo Feng, who was controlling the golden totem pillar with his mental power, could not help turning pale. The second vicious collision made his expression even worse.
This was troublesome.
The power of the fifth level of the Yan Shen Weapon, “Space Cutting”, was even stronger than he had imagined!
Originally, he had thought that by relying on the Nine Line Cycle, he could create an absolute control region. As long as he reduced the distance between himself and his opponent to within 500 metres, he would be able to instantly control the golden totem pillar and kill his opponent! Within the absolute control region, the speed of the golden totem pillar could surpass that of the dark golden long sword.
However!
The dark golden long sword formed by the fifth level of the Yan Shen Weapon, “Space Cutting”, had two major advantages. The first was its speed and unpredictability, while the second was its astonishing attack power.
At first, the silver clothed man wanted to use the dark golden long sword to bypass the golden totem pillar and kill Luo Feng, so when controlling it, he placed greater emphasis on its speed. However, Luo Feng had comprehended the Nine Line Cycle. Within a radius of 500 metres, the golden totem pillar was terrifyingly fast and could easily intercept the dark golden long sword every time, surpassing his opponent in terms of speed.
The first advantage, speed, was ineffective.
But it still had its second advantage!
Why was the fifth level called “Space Cutting”?
Luo Feng understood now!
“Whoosh!”
The dark golden long sword shot towards him like a laser. Luo Feng did not dare not block it. If he did not, that terrifying dark golden long sword would directly pierce through his skull!
“Boom!” The golden tip of the sword viciously stabbed into the golden totem pillar. Luo Feng felt his consciousness violently shake. Almost the entire side of the golden totem pillar that was resisting the attack collapsed. Luo Feng could only frantically expend his mental power and struggle to condense the golden totem pillar once again.
“What a powerful consciousness. Let us see how many times you can endure this!” The silver clothed man roared.
If one’s consciousness were not strong enough, a single collision would cause the entire golden totem pillar to collapse.
The Golden Horned Beast was currently at the sixth level of the Domain Lord Level, so in reality, Luo Feng’s consciousness was that of a sixth level Domain Lord Golden Horned Beast. Naturally, it was extremely powerful. Otherwise, he would not have been able to withstand these three collisions at all!
“Not good. These three fierce collisions alone have consumed nearly thirty percent of my mental power, and I am mentally exhausted.” Luo Feng’s face was pale, but his eyes remained fixed firmly on his opponent.
“Boom!”
The fourth time!
“Boom!”
The fifth time!
Luo Feng’s lips were pale as he stared firmly at his opponent, repeatedly condensing the golden totem pillar after it had almost completely collapsed.
“I do not believe you can keep enduring this. Even if your consciousness can withstand it, I do not believe your mental power will never run out!” The silver clothed man roared. “Again!”
“Boom!” The sixth time!
The golden totem pillar once again collapsed, with nearly two thirds of it being destroyed by the impact. Luo Feng’s consciousness had already entered a semi blurred state, because fully controlling the golden totem pillar required him to infuse a large amount of mental power into it. Mental power likewise contained consciousness, so every collision was equivalent to smashing directly into his consciousness.
“Combine again!” Luo Feng gritted his teeth. The refusal to admit defeat deep in his bones made him determined to condense the golden totem pillar once more.
“Condense!”
A vast amount of mental power was like countless tiny hands, grabbing the more than a thousand scattered golden swords and once again combining them into the “golden totem pillar” according to the profound principles he had comprehended from the Origin Law of Space and the Origin Law of Gold. One golden thread after another containing the power of laws extended outwards and formed the pillar……
“Something is wrong!”
As he condensed the golden totem pillar, a scene flashed through Luo Feng’s mind while he was already in a semi blurred state. It was the Rain Drop Diagram of the Nine Universe Chaos Stele.
There were a total of nine drops of rain in the Rain Drop Diagram. In theory, Luo Feng had long since completely comprehended these nine drops of rain. He had already comprehended their essence.
But at this moment……
“It is like this, it is like this.” Luo Feng’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.
“Golden totem pillar!”
Luo Feng’s entire aura soared into the heavens. He controlled the golden totem pillar and instantly condensed it completely into one whole.
“Die!” Luo Feng pointed towards the distant silver clothed man. The golden totem pillar began rolling with a rumble. The surrounding space seemed to be like a flat cake being pressed smooth. “Bang!” The dark golden golden sword in the distance once again smashed fiercely towards him, but as it approached the golden totem pillar, its speed strangely continued to decrease. By the time it struck the golden totem pillar, its power had already weakened considerably.
“How is this possible?” The silver clothed man’s eyes were filled with shock.
Boom!
The completely undamaged golden totem pillar rolled seemingly slowly, yet instantly appeared before him.
“Puff!” As though crushing an ant, it directly rolled over him, crushing the silver clothed man into a mass of flesh.
Standing in mid air atop the Dark Cloud Shuttle, Luo Feng’s face was pale, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes. He murmured, “That is right. Previously, I had comprehended the nine drops of rain in the Rain Drop Diagram, but…… I had not comprehended the entire Rain Drop Diagram.”
Luo Feng looked at the space ahead. It was as though he could see nine kinds of fluctuations from the Origin Law of Space merging and separating from one another, corresponding with the Rain Drop Diagram. It was a sight that was pleasing to the eye.
The fifth level!
Passed!
