The Yan Shen Armament contained the two Origin Laws of Gold and Space, and was one of the nine great divine weapons used by Spirit Readers who took the Controller path.
For a Stellar-level warrior, being able to use the Yan Shen Armament was simply inconceivable.
The Yan Shen Armament had nine forms. Even the first form, the ‘*** Form’, required some comprehension of the Origin Law of Gold, as well as a powerful consciousness, before it could possibly be successfully executed. It was merely ‘possibly successful’. Even Luo Feng had spent several months studying it in the real world, burying himself in research during the ten days before the preliminaries, before he could barely achieve basic mastery.
A Stellar-level warrior who mastered the first form could be considered invincible among those of the same level.
The phrase ‘considered invincible’ alone demonstrated its power!
“You can use the Yan Shen Armament?” The green-haired young man’s eyes were filled with shock.
“This is my first time using the Yan Shen Armament in battle.” Luo Feng carried the dark golden long staff on his back and slowly descended onto an intact rooftop of a villa below.
The green-haired young man could not help feeling nervous. After all, the nine great divine weapons were extremely famous. However, the surging battle intent in his heart made his eyes burn with excitement. He shouted loudly, “Madman, on the final day of the preliminaries, being able to encounter an opponent like you is truly exciting. Bring out your full strength and let me see just how powerful the legendary Yan Shen Armament really is!”
“I won’t disappoint you.” Luo Feng’s pupils narrowed.
The two stood facing each other from a distance of only a hundred metres, each standing on the roof of a different villa.
A sharp glint flashed through Luo Feng’s eyes. He pointed towards the distant green-haired young man with one finger. Instantly, a series of golden lights flew out from the dark golden long staff on his back. They were nine golden little swords as thin as cicada wings.
The nine golden little swords naturally spread apart. At the same time, incomparably complex secret engravings began to flow with golden threads across their sword bodies, connecting them to one another.
Forming countless golden threads into a perfect whole was extremely difficult. Previously, even when using the Sky Shuttle and reaching the ‘Great Achievement’ stage with the Swordfish Formation, he had still been unable to completely integrate all his comprehension of the Origin Law of Gold into it.
But now…
Almost instantly, he integrated all his comprehension of the Origin Law of Gold into this technique, doing his utmost to execute the first form. Luo Feng could only feel that his comprehension was still insufficient. This first form had merely reached the level of ‘basic mastery’, still far from the stage of great achievement.
A golden *** surrounded by a faint golden light floated before Luo Feng.
The entire illusory golden sword was impossible to see clearly.
A sharp aura emanated from the illusory golden sword, causing the air ahead to tremble and ripple.
“Whoosh!”
The illusory golden sword instantly shot towards the distant green-haired young man. The moment it was launched, because of its terrifying speed, the entire illusory golden sword transformed into a golden rainbow!
“Haah!” The green-haired young man gritted his teeth and roared furiously, the veins on his forehead bulging as he controlled his psychic weapon with all his strength.
“Roar~~~”
The two crescent wheels seemed like two children playing and chasing one another. They moved along unpredictable trajectories, transforming into a gust of wind as they intercepted that terrifying golden rainbow.
“Boom!”
The golden sword rainbow collided with the two crescent wheels. With a tremendous explosion, both crescent wheels were knocked flying backwards and crashed into the villas behind them.
“Bang!”
One of the crescent wheels smashed into the glass of a villa, causing the glass to explode instantly, with shattered fragments flying in every direction.
“Whoosh!”
After the collision, the golden *** that had momentarily stopped once again transformed into a golden rainbow and shot towards the green-haired young man.
“How can this be?” The green-haired young man was both shocked and furious. The disc beneath his feet immediately flew apart, splitting into two crescent wheels that moved to block the attack.
“Boom!”
After a single collision with the golden rainbow, the two crescent wheels were sent flying wildly once again.
“Puff!”
Immediately afterwards, the golden *** shot towards the green-haired young man’s body.
The green-haired young man did not dodge. Instead, he stared fixedly at Luo Feng and transmitted his voice through psychic force. “Madman, I made a mistake. Next time, I will definitely win, definitely win!”
His furious roar still echoed in Luo Feng’s ears when the golden *** had already pierced through his head!
The green-haired young man’s corpse fell from the sky, crashed onto a rooftop, then rolled off and landed in the courtyard of the villa.
“You were wrong.”
Luo Feng landed beside the corpse and said softly, “You had already crossed the threshold of the Origin Laws. Originally, it would not have been so easy for me to kill you. But you chose to clash with me head-on. Who else can you blame?”
Although he had not used the Yan Shen Armament in an actual battle before this fight, Luo Feng had fought against many opponents in the ‘Killing Field’ of the Virtual Universe in order to familiarise himself with the Yan Shen Armament.
He had set up many Stellar-level opponents, giving them comprehension of the Origin Laws of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Light, Time, Space and so on. This had allowed Luo Feng to accumulate considerable combat experience.
Gold was supremely yang and rigid, sharp beyond compare!
Wind was formless, elusive and unpredictable!
Following different Origin Law paths naturally resulted in different styles of combat. Having crossed the threshold of the Origin Law of Gold, Luo Feng’s attacks were naturally supremely yang and rigid, capable of destroying everything in his path!
Moreover, he was using the divine weapon most suited to the Origin Law of Gold, the Yan Shen Armament, so its power was extraordinarily immense!
Wind Wheel had chosen to clash head-on with Luo Feng. His death could not be blamed on anyone else.
The main reason was that the green-haired young man, ‘Wind Wheel’, had been intimidated by the reputation of the Yan Shen Armament. In addition, he had always been victorious when fighting opponents of the same level in the past. It was only at the moment of his death that he finally understood the best way to deal with ‘Madman’.
…
The battle between Madman and Wind Wheel naturally attracted the attention of some of the talented experts who had already been in the Northern District. By the time those talented experts approached to watch, the battle had already ended.
“Wind Wheel lost?”
“Wind Wheel was actually killed? This is unbelievable. Did I see that correctly?”
“Wind Wheel has fallen. Who can possibly be Madman’s opponent now?”
The group of experts in the distance was utterly shocked. Wind Wheel was far stronger than ‘Demon Hammer’, ‘Cold Line’, ‘Bone’ and the others.
Many people had previously speculated about who would win a battle between Wind Wheel and Madman, but most of them had believed in Wind Wheel. After all, Wind Wheel’s battle record was too impressive, and he had always stood high above the others without ever suffering defeat.
He had always advanced effortlessly, slaughtering his way through everything!
Many people had long since decided that Wind Wheel was the number one person in this world city.
“Madman is too strong.”
“What was that golden light Madman used at the end? Wasn’t the psychic weapon he used supposed to be the ‘golden fish’?”
“Right, how many points will Madman get for killing Wind Wheel?”
“Wind Wheel will definitely still have an extremely high number of points even after losing half of them. As for Madman… his points must already be far higher than Wind Wheel’s.”
Luo Feng carried the dark golden long staff on his back and flew away from the villa district. He arrived at a densely populated residential area in the distance and directly entered through a balcony.
“The preliminaries lasted thirty days. Today is the final day.”
Luo Feng silently sat on the ground and adjusted his state of mind.
During the thirty days of the preliminaries, especially the final twenty days, he had completely unleashed the madness in his heart and immersed himself in slaughter. The number of people he had killed had reached several thousand. He had forged his way through a trail of blood and earned the name Madman.
However, Luo Feng did not want to bring this state of mind back into reality.
“Phew!”
Luo Feng sat cross-legged in silence, suppressing the bloodlust deep within his bones and forcing it down into the deepest part of his heart.
“Wind Wheel really has a lot of points. No wonder his previous *** was ranked 42nd.”
Luo Feng lowered his head and looked at the screen on his wrist. The number of points displayed on the screen was enough to make anyone’s heart tremble.
Participant: Luo Feng, Black Dragon Mountain Empire
Points: 32,178,201
***: 51
“I actually obtained more than eighteen million points from killing Wind Wheel!”
Luo Feng was astonished. Killing super experts really was an extremely fast way to earn points. Previously, he had nearly fourteen million points, which did not even come close to what he had gained this time!
However, Wind Wheel had also said that he had once killed a super expert from another city and obtained more than ten million points.
“The fastest way to obtain points is still to kill super experts.”
“It would be best to hunt them down city by city.”
Luo Feng secretly thought.
For example, if he killed the person ranked first in ***, he would probably obtain more than one hundred million points in an instant!
Of course, the prerequisite was that he had the ability to kill them!
When Luo Feng killed Wind Wheel, his *** ranking instantly jumped from 102nd to 51st. This immediately attracted the attention of many forces and organisations throughout the Ganwu Universe Country, who began paying particular attention to Luo Feng.
Previously, when Luo Feng had just entered the top 1001, it was mainly the countless citizens of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire who paid attention to him. But reaching 51st was an entirely different matter.
The further forward one advanced on the *** ranking, the more terrifying their strength became!
The top three in each world zone could be said to be genuine super geniuses who had crossed the threshold of the Origin Laws.
Among the top 100 in each world zone, there were also some super geniuses who had gained slight insights into the Origin Laws.
A person’s *** ranking was also related to the choices they made.
For example, super experts such as Luo Feng and Wind Wheel. If these two people had not remained in their own cities, but had instead wandered through all 91 cities in the entire world zone, hunting down the super experts in each city, they might encounter some extremely difficult opponents.
However, the greater possibility was that they could reach the top ten in their world zone!
“Gather information on Luo Feng.”
“For Luo Feng to rank 51st, he should have reached the level of a combat genius with ‘*** Domain’, or perhaps he is an even stronger super genius who has comprehended the Origin Laws.”
“The Black Dragon Mountain Empire, that remote backwater, actually has a talented expert who has reached 51st?”
“That is indeed extremely rare. The Black Dragon Mountain Empire has always ranked below average among the many vassal states of our Ganwu Universe Country.”
…
At this moment, inside the luxurious hall of the spaceship that had gathered the ruling elites of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty.”
“This is wonderful news.”
“Your Majesty, 51st place! A two digit *** ranking!”
The several thousand people in the entire hall erupted into excitement.
A three digit *** ranking, a two digit *** ranking and a single digit *** ranking represented completely different levels of honour.
For example, the three people from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire who had temporarily qualified were:
‘Hong’, *** ranked 999th.
‘Nabini’, *** ranked 860th.
‘Luo Feng’, *** ranked 51st.
At a glance, it was clear that ‘Hong’ and ‘Nabini’ could be considered the top geniuses of the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield.
But Luo Feng was absolutely a super expert capable of making a name for himself throughout the Ganwu Universe Country.
“A two digit *** ranking.”
“Your Majesty, right now, countless citizens across the entire Black Dragon Mountain island are incredibly excited.”
The Emperor sitting at the highest position also could not hide a trace of joy on his face. He laughed heartily and said loudly, “Our empire has performed very well in these preliminaries. Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that three people will qualify! ‘Hong’ and ‘Nabini’ are both extremely outstanding. As for Luo Feng… hahaha, he is the pride of our Black Dragon Mountain Empire!”
“Luo Feng has rendered great service! Great service indeed!”
The Emperor’s voice became even louder. “He must be rewarded, and rewarded generously!”
