Luo Feng, wearing the Golden-Claw Deity, experienced a surge in overall strength and was completely overpowering the scaled-armored beast in battle.
The scaled-armor beast’s secret technique was at the sixth tier, and as a Law Sovereign, creating a sixth-tier secret technique was already quite remarkable. It also mastered a divine power combustion technique, enabling it to unleash seventh-tier combat strength under normal circumstances. Most crucially, its mechanical-type treasure was a hoof-claw, primarily focused on offense, capable of amplifying attack power by three tiers!
In other words, it could unleash attacks at the tenth-tier level.
However, in terms of defense and evasion, it received no enhancement whatsoever, which meant it couldn’t land a hit on Luo Feng, while Luo Feng could easily strike it. Even if it managed to hit Luo Feng, Luo Feng, protected by blocking techniques and the Golden-Claw Deity, suffered no real damage. However, whenever the scaled-armored beast was struck, it immediately suffered massive divine body damage.
…
A one-sided battle!
This left the other soldiers watching from afar in shock. At their level, they were already at the peak combat power achievable by a Law Sovereign. To break through to a higher level was extremely difficult, with even the slightest advancement being a struggle. Therefore, in actual combat, the differences between them wouldn’t be very noticeable.
But that soldier, ‘HeYuan’ (Galactic)…
“He’s too strong! His movement techniques are terrifying. Although his mechanical stream treasures aren’t individually powerful, they all provide auxiliary enhancements. Once he attacks, it’s like being overwhelmed.”
“His claw techniques are also extremely formidable. While the Golden-Claw Deity’s offensive power isn’t strong, Galactic’s claw techniques make his attacks this powerful.”
From afar, the other soldiers noticed this while engaged in battle.
They understood clearly that since the first level of Wuqi Tower required them to fight among themselves, and the ultimate goal was to reach the top of the tower, the following levels would likely force them into further mutual slaughter, or at least create situations where they would willingly kill each other for certain benefits.
Naturally, they needed to assess the strength of other soldiers while they still had the chance.
Other soldiers immediately made their judgment at this moment: “Soldier Galactic must not be provoked; avoid him at all costs!”
“If I had known he was this strong, I shouldn’t have targeted him.” Soldier Xuzhong felt resentful. “I should have made a deliberate effort to befriend him… Having such a friend to help during the adventures on each level of the Wuqi Tower would have been a great advantage.”
…
“Whoosh!” Luo Feng slightly curved his right golden claw, especially the five claws, which resembled curved blades.
That single claw strike!
The blade sliced across the scaled beast’s armored back, sending it tumbling to the ground. Immediately after came a flurry of frenzied claw strikes…
Dazzling golden claw shadows surged like relentless tidal waves, slashing repeatedly across the monstrous creature’s divine body, draining its strength with each strike.
At this moment, the scaled-armored beast had already lost about 80% of its divine body, leaving it with only about 20% of its original strength, naturally being overwhelmed even more.
“Galactic, spare my life!” The scaled-armored beast panicked and pleaded for mercy.
Luo Feng completely ignored it.
“I will offer you all my treasures!” The scaled-armored beast was anxious; it really didn’t want to die.
“Killing you, your treasures will still be mine.” Luo Feng coldly transmitted his voice, “Moreover, once you chose to enter the Wuqi Tower, you should have been prepared to die. Now that your strength has greatly diminished… even if I spare you in this first level, what about the second, third, and fourth levels? Do you think you can survive? Without killing other soldiers, you cannot proceed to the second level, and without entering the second level… you will be annihilated by the Wuqi Tower. I don’t want to die! Even if I spare you, you won’t be able to kill other soldiers, so no matter what, you must die!”
The scaled-armored beast understood this.
But feeling the approach of death, it was unwilling and panicked, naturally wanting to live a little longer. As for the upcoming crises? It would deal with them as they came.
“I still need your life to proceed to the second level.”
Luo Feng’s voice was cold, without any fluctuation.
Earlier, this scaled-armored beast had attacked him first. If he were weaker, he might have been killed.
“No!” The scaled-armored beast was furious and unwilling, but no matter how furious and unwilling it was, it could only watch helplessly as it continued to weaken until it was completely annihilated, with no other options. Even if it self-destructed, the resulting attack power wouldn’t reach the tenth tier.
Under the relentless, wave-like torrent of attacks…
The scaled-armored beast was annihilated!
“There are quite a few treasures left behind.” Luo Feng waved his hand and instantly collected a large number of items scattered across the desert, including a black hoof-claw, the mechanical stream treasure previously owned by the scaled-armored beast.
“The Jin’s World…”
“It possesses a complete ancient civilization, especially excelling in mechanical stream treasures!” Luo Feng mused inwardly, “Even a Cosmic Lord, with divine power combustion techniques and mechanical stream treasures, can reach the tenth-tier combat power. In the Cosmic Sea… that’s the combat power of the Originators.”
Actually, this was quite normal.
At the Law Sovereign level, mechanical stream treasures inherently possessed the power to fight beyond their tier!
…
Luo Feng collected a large amount of treasures and realized that the reason he managed to kill the scaled-armored beast was because he had an absolute advantage in mobility and evasion! Moreover, this advantage was absolute even against True Gods, which had already been proven in the Jiuyan Swamp.
“Killing an elite soldier is more profitable than killing ten True Gods.” Luo Feng swept his gaze around.
On the cold, icy desert.
The cold wind was still blowing… and in several distant directions, battles were taking place. Occasionally, the soldiers engaged in combat would glance toward Luo Feng.
“They’re all keeping a safe distance from me.” Luo Feng couldn’t help but shake his head.
Originally, he had hoped…
If the opportunity arose, he could kill one or two more soldiers and gather more treasures. After all, he had a large family to support. Whether it was for all of humanity, his Earthman lineage, or even the Luo family, treasures were always needed. However, now it seemed that these soldiers clearly regarded him as a major threat. It was likely that as soon as he moved, his opponents would flee from afar.
“Alright, time to move to the next level.” Luo Feng thought to himself, “According to historical patterns, generally only about 10% of those who enter the Wuqi Tower survive to leave. Only about 50% have died in this first level! They will fight, and the victors will obtain treasures. Later on, I can kill those victors and naturally obtain even more.”
Luo Feng scanned the four ongoing battles, hesitated no longer, and immediately transformed into a streak of light, flying directly toward the distant giant cyan light pillar.
Boom!
As Luo Feng flew toward the cyan light pillar, it did not block him, allowing Luo Feng to enter freely.
“Boom!”
Guided by the cyan light pillar, Luo Feng immediately transformed into a golden beam of light, moving at incredible speed, shooting straight up and instantly disappearing at the very top of the cyan light pillar.
“He’s entered the second level.”
“Phew, that terrifying guy has finally entered the second level.”
“This is good.”
One by one, the soldiers exhaled in relief.
If Luo Feng was constantly lurking nearby, watching them, they would feel uneasy even while fighting each other, because they clearly sensed… they were not in the same league as Luo Feng.
“We are all the best among the special regiments of the four armies. In theory, those stronger than us wouldn’t be significantly stronger. How come this soldier, Galactic, is so much stronger than us? Especially his close combat techniques, how could they be so terrifying? Even True Gods don’t possess such terrifying movement techniques.”
As Luo Feng left, the remaining eight soldiers quickly focused, pairing off to fight.
However, unlike Luo Feng…
Luo Feng killed quickly, but they, because of their similar strengths, fought much slower.
…
Luo Feng only felt space-time twisting, with hazy light flickering, and then from the previous cyan light pillar, he appeared in a new place.
“Hmm?”
Luo Feng looked around.
This was a vast expanse of dark red land. Across this dark red land were numerous cracks, beneath which were crimson red liquids, with streams of scorching hot air jetting up from the cracks into the sky. The entire sky… was covered with dark clouds, thick and dense, blocking out most of the sky.
“Five soldiers?” Luo Feng immediately spotted them in the distance; five soldiers were scattered far apart, clearly maintaining a cautious distance from each other.
“The previous batch?” Luo Feng’s mind stirred.
“The following batch of soldiers has arrived,” one of the five distant soldiers, a boyish figure with a handsome appearance, wearing a set of dark red armor, said with a smile. The surroundings were this dark red land… and he wore dark red armor, his aura perfectly harmonizing with the entire world.
“You’ve been waiting for our following batch?” Luo Feng asked.
“We five arrived together,” the dark red-armored youth smiled, his eyes faintly flashing with a fierce light, “The Wuqi Tower informed us that ten soldiers would arrive in each batch. After the first level, only five of our batch survived, so naturally we had to wait for your following batch of soldiers.”
Luo Feng nodded.
Before him, there had indeed been three batches that entered.
Three batches meant 30 soldiers, and likely only 15 survived! Unless special circumstances occurred… the number would be less than 15. Obviously, the previous three batches had indeed survived 15 soldiers.
“How will the second level of this Wuqi Tower test us?” Luo Feng asked.
“We don’t know.”
“We are also unaware,” several soldiers replied.
“You arrived first, so it seems you’re the strongest among your batch,” one soldier said.
“Luck,” Luo Feng replied casually.
“What about the other soldiers from your batch?” the dark red-armored youth asked Luo Feng.
“They’ll arrive soon,” Luo Feng smiled.
…
“They’ll arrive soon,” but this ‘soon’ was actually quite long. About half an hour later, one by one, the other soldiers arrived, with the four other soldiers from this new batch arriving almost simultaneously.
Whoosh!
As soon as Xuzhong appeared, his transformed ‘Ke Bird’ immediately flapped its wings and darted away, then cautiously looked around, locking his gaze on Luo Feng in the distance.
These four soldiers all kept a safe distance from Luo Feng.
Seeing this, the five soldiers from the previous batch, unless they were fools, could clearly tell that the other four soldiers in this new batch were extremely cautious and fearful of the first-arriving soldier.
“He actually makes so many elite soldiers this fearful.”
“We need to be careful of him.”
The five soldiers from the previous batch were all secretly alarmed.
Just at this moment…
“Boom~~~” Ten beams of light descended from the sky, instantly enveloping the ten soldiers.
