The other three commanders, who had just awakened from a long slumber, also turned their gazes toward the floating light screen. They, too, were filled with anticipation, as they had received orders from the Divine King long ago—to find a peerless genius capable of reaching the summit of the “Wuqi Tower.” They had waited far too long.
“Hmm?”
“This soldier…”
“He’s riding the Golden-Claw Deity. Judging by the Golden-Claw Deity’s speed, this soldier hasn’t used any divine power combustion techniques,” the three commanders successively analyzed, scrutinizing the image of Luo Feng on the screen. As for the other nine soldiers, they merely glanced over them and dismissed them outright.
Throughout their long tenure, they had seen countless elite soldiers. Those who lacked sufficient potential naturally failed to capture their attention.
Carefully observing…
Time ticked by, second after second. The three commanders remained silent.
“What an extraordinary movement technique!” One of the four commanders, a burly figure clad in crimson armor, exclaimed. “So many ingenious and refined movement concepts… truly remarkable. As a Law Sovereign, he actually created such an incredible movement technique and executed it so skillfully, playing with the crimson rock giant as if it were a toy.”
What he didn’t know was that Luo Feng had spent countless hours honing his movement techniques in the ‘Inheritance Space’—training against numerous formidable opponents in the trial simulation, even battling against the ‘Third Generation Ancestor’ multiple times under equal divine power conditions. Under such intense pressure, fighting against a clumsy rock giant now felt effortless.
Even in the Jin World, not even an Eternal Divine God could get a training partner at the level of the ‘Third Generation Ancestor.’
“Even I felt somewhat inspired,” the burly commander mused.
“You’re an Eternal Divine God!”
“You, an Eternal Divine God, were inspired?”
The other three commanders responded in unison.
The four commanders had once been promoted to Void Divine Gods by the Divine King before he departed. Over the long years, one of them had even ascended to the rank of Eternal Divine God. However, following the Divine King’s orders, the four commanders bore great responsibilities and could never leave the Jin World.
Just like the four generals, who were also Eternal Divine Gods, they too were forbidden from leaving the Jin World.
Since the Divine King’s departure, a few Eternal Divine Gods had indeed emerged, each leaving the Jin World one after another—never to return.
…
The four commanders were completely captivated by Luo Feng’s movement technique. If a Void Divine God had displayed such skill, they wouldn’t have cared much. But this was a Law Sovereign! The gap between a Law Sovereign and a Void Divine God in terms of comprehension was like heaven and earth. For a Law Sovereign to reach such a level was something they had never seen before!
“At least since we’ve been guarding the Divine King Valley, he is the one with the most formidable movement technique we’ve ever seen.”
“The strongest movement technique! His other abilities can’t be far behind.”
The four commanders spoke in succession.
The burly commander said with even greater anticipation, “Perhaps… he might be the one who can ascend to the summit of the Wuqi Tower!”
Instantly, the other three commanders fell silent. A tense and stormy atmosphere filled the entire hall as they all stared at the screen, watching intently…
Fulfilling the Divine King’s expectations was far more important to them than their own ascension to Eternal Divine Godhood—even more important than their own lives!
…
In the second level of the Wuqi Tower, on the vast crimson land containing ten miniature worlds.
The first five soldiers were in a very pitiful state, their divine bodies nearly exhausted.
The latter five were also in a sorry state, but since they had fought for a shorter time, they were in slightly better condition. Especially Luo Feng, who was the most relaxed of all. From the moment he was teleported into the miniature world until now, his divine body had barely been used at all. After all, he hadn’t even used the first stage of “Severance.”
He had simply relied on the Golden-Claw Deity to boost his power by two tiers, which was already enough to fight against a Divine God.
“The first five soldiers have suffered great divine body depletion. Although they are still alive, if this continues, it won’t be long before they begin to perish,” Luo Feng observed, glancing at the other nine miniature worlds. Probably only he could afford to be distracted during such a tense moment.
“Awooooo! Awooooo! Awooooo! Awooooo! Awooooo!”
Five furious howls suddenly erupted.
It was the five crimson rock giants in the first five miniature worlds, all raising their heads and howling. Their cries were sharp and maddening!
The howls were completely different from the previous battle roars. Not only were the sounds eerie, but they also carried a soul-piercing attack. Even some soldiers in other miniature worlds felt their hearts tremble. The five soldiers in Luo Feng’s group couldn’t help but look toward the distance.
Accompanied by the sharp howls, the first five soldiers also felt a sense of impending crisis.
Hua! Hua! Hua!…
Suddenly!
From the cracks in the ground near the rock giants, four massive stone hands emerged, surrounded by scalding molten liquid. Each stone hand was over a million kilometers wide, with thick, elongated arms. Without warning, these hands shot out and directly grabbed at the elite soldiers.
“Ahhh!” One elite soldier with facial markings tried to dodge, but half of his divine body was instantly seized by one of the stone hands!
The stone hand gripped him tightly.
High above, the ancient rune diagram began to descend. As it did, it poured down streams of radiant light, leaving the soldiers with even less time to evade.
“Roar~~~” The crimson rock giant also roared, punching the captured soldier directly.
Crash!
The soldier was struck with unbearable pain.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The stone hands held him fast while the rock giant pounded away, rapidly draining his divine power.
“Break! Break! Break!” The soldier struggled desperately, even channeling his divine power to control his divine hammer. Finally, just before another punch from the rock giant, he managed to smash the stone hand enough to create a gap and darted free. However, even that brief capture had caused massive damage to his divine body.
Hua!
From the cracked earth, more stone hands suddenly emerged without warning.
…
In an instant, the first five soldiers were thrown into chaos. If before they had merely been in a pitiful state, now they were facing a life-or-death crisis! It was a one-sided massacre!
Under the combined assault of the stone hands, the crimson rock giants, and the descending rune diagram reducing their reaction time, the five elite soldiers equipped with mechanical-type treasures were on the verge of collapse.
“Not good.”
“This is a serious problem.”
“They were the first five to encounter this danger. it won’t be long before we face the same threat.”
The other four soldiers in Luo Feng’s group panicked.
Luo Feng, riding the Golden-Claw Deity, pondered: “Clearly, only four stone hands appear at the same time, and they only emerge near the crimson rock giants! Also, the rune diagram above is descending…” Luo Feng realized the situation was extremely dangerous. The stone hands themselves weren’t that threatening, but once grabbed and restrained, the rock giants would mercilessly pummel them.
Fortunately, there were only four stone hands.
“What should I do?”
“The stone hands appear without warning! They just suddenly emerge from the ground! How can I react in time?” Luo Feng grew anxious.
If the ancient rune diagram hadn’t descended, he could have simply flown higher, giving himself enough time to evade when the stone hands emerged.
But now, with the ‘ancient rune diagram’ descending and the distance shrinking, his reaction time to dodge the streams of light was already reduced. Flying even higher would only make it harder.
“A desperate situation!”
Luo Feng shook his head slightly. “Some soldiers will surely perish!”
…
Indeed, it was a desperate situation!
As the ancient rune diagram continued to descend, the first five soldiers faced increasingly dire circumstances.
A torrent of countless beams of light rained down like a storm, relentlessly bombarding the area below. The rune diagram kept lowering, reducing the time available to dodge the beams of light, causing the soldiers to be struck by more and more of them. Each beam of light was as powerful as a strike from a Divine God!
“Stone hands! Rock giants! Rune diagram!”
The space kept shrinking, making it increasingly difficult to evade the stone hands.
The first five soldiers burned their divine power, screamed in desperation, and exerted every ounce of strength to unleash their most treasured techniques—some attacking, some fleeing…
Doing everything they could to survive just a little longer.
“No! No! No!” A twelve-winged beast soaring in the air was suddenly seized by a stone hand that erupted from the ground. Immediately afterward, the crimson rock giant followed up, delivering repeated punches with its two massive fists. With a mournful cry, the twelve-winged beast exploded into nothingness, leaving behind only its armor and treasures.
The crimson rock giant threw back its head and roared in excitement.
Then…
Hua!
The rock giants, stone hands, and everything else transformed into crimson liquid, flowing back into the ground cracks. Even the fallen beast soldier’s armor and treasures were swept into the cracks. The miniature world itself then dissolved entirely.
Now, only nine miniature worlds remained on the second level.
…
The other four soldiers from the first batch struggled desperately.
“Hasn’t it ended yet?”
“Shouldn’t the second-level trial be over by now?”
“My strength has dropped by more than half. If it doesn’t end soon, I won’t be able to hold on.” The other four soldiers were extremely anxious. For Law Sovereigns, the loss of part of their divine body meant a sharp decline in power. In battle, at the beginning when they were strongest, their divine power was consumed the slowest. But as their strength weakened, their divine body depletion accelerated. The more they lost, the weaker they became, creating a vicious cycle!
Therefore, all of them were growing desperate.
…
Luo Feng’s group of five soldiers were also filled with unease.
“We must conserve our divine power.”
“Otherwise, we won’t survive the second level of the Wuqi Tower.” Just as they were anxious…
That familiar sound—
“Awooooo! Awooooo! Awooooo! Awooooo! Awooooo!” Five sharp, frenzied cries pierced through, directly drilling into their souls and making the five soldiers shudder.
“Why so soon!”
“We started much later than them!” The other four soldiers in Luo Feng’s group panicked.
They had been teleported into the miniature world about half an hour later than the first batch, yet the nightmare arrived only about ten minutes later than the first batch.
“Boom~~~”
Luo Feng shot into the sky in a flash, simultaneously looking up at the ancient rune diagram descending with a thunderous roar from high above.
The crimson rock giant flew up to follow him—it was determined to kill Luo Feng at all costs.
Hua! Hua! Hua! Hua!
Four massive stone hands emerged, each hand alone spanning over a million kilometers, with extremely long arms. They shot out directly, aiming to grab Luo Feng. However, Luo Feng had already flown up high in advance, giving him a buffer of time. With his movement skills, he could still calmly evade the stone hands.
…
In that ancient grand hall, the four commanders of the Divine King Valley—blessed by the Divine King—watched the light screen with great anticipation. One was an Eternal Divine God, and the other three were Void Divine Gods, all intently observing Luo Feng’s performance in the second level of the Wuqi Tower.
