The Divine Blade, containing the fundamental laws of Metal and Space, is one of the nine divine weapons controlled by psychokinetic masters.
For a being at the Stellar Constant level, wielding the Divine Blade seems utterly inconceivable.
The Divine Blade has nine forms. Merely the first form, “Phantom Sword Style,” requires an understanding of the fundamental law of Metal and a powerful consciousness to successfully execute. Even the mere possibility of success meant Luo Feng had studied for months in the real world and spent the ten days before the preliminaries immersed in its intricacies to achieve a basic grasp.
Mastery of the first form at the Stellar Constant level renders one virtually invincible among equals.
The phrase “virtually invincible” speaks volumes about its power!
“Can you actually wield the Divine Blade?” The green-haired youth’s eyes brimmed with shock.
“This is my first time using the Divine Blade in battle,” Luo Feng replied, carrying a dark golden long staff as he slowly descended onto an intact rooftop of a villa below.
The green-haired youth couldn’t help but feel tense. The fame of the nine divine weapons was immense, but the bubbling combat fervor in his heart made his eyes blaze with excitement. He shouted, “Madman, on this last day of the preliminaries, meeting an opponent like you is truly exhilarating. Show me your full strength, let me see just how powerful this legendary Divine Blade really is!”
“You won’t be disappointed,” Luo Feng’s pupils narrowed.
The two faced each other from a distance of no more than a hundred meters, standing on the rooftops of two villas.
A sharp gleam flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes. He pointed his finger at the distant green-haired youth, and instantly, the dark golden staff behind him shot forth a streak of golden light. It was nine tiny golden swords, thin as cicada wings. These nine golden swords naturally dispersed, and the incredibly complex secret patterns on their blades began to shimmer with golden threads, interconnecting with one another.
To weave countless golden threads into a perfect whole was an incredibly difficult task. Even when using the Void-Gold Shuttle and achieving mastery over the Swordfish Formation, he couldn’t fully integrate his understanding of the fundamental law of Metal.
But now—
In almost an instant, his comprehension of the fundamental law of Metal was fully infused into this attack, striving to unleash the first form. Luo Feng felt his understanding was still insufficient; this first form was merely “basically mastered,” far from reaching mastery.
A dreamlike golden phantom sword, cloaked in a faint golden glow, hovered before Luo Feng.
The entire golden phantom sword was indistinct.
A sharp aura emanated from it, causing the air in front of it to ripple and tremble.
“Whoosh!”
The golden phantom sword instantly shot toward the green-haired youth in the distance. In the moment it was launched, it moved so fast that it transformed into a golden beam of light!
“Roar!!!” The green-haired youth gritted his teeth and roared, his forehead veins bulging as he poured his full psychokinetic power into his weapon.
“Whoosh~~~”
Two crescent wheels danced like playful children, chasing each other along unpredictable paths, forming a whirlwind to intercept the terrifying golden beam.
“Boom!”
The golden beam struck the two crescent wheels. With a deafening explosion, both wheels were sent flying backward into the villa behind them. “Crash!” One of the wheels slammed into a window, shattering the glass into countless fragments that scattered in all directions.
“Whoosh!”
The golden phantom sword, momentarily halted by the collision, resumed its flight as a golden beam, speeding toward the green-haired youth.
“How can this be?” The green-haired youth’s face twisted with shock and fury. His disc instantly flew out and split into two crescent wheels to block the attack.
“Boom!” The golden beam struck again, sending the two crescent wheels flying once more.
“Spurt!”
Immediately afterward, the golden phantom sword pierced the green-haired youth’s body. He didn’t attempt to dodge but stared fixedly at Luo Feng, sending a mental message: “Madman, I made a mistake. Next time, I will definitely defeat you. Definitely!!!” His roaring voice still echoed in Luo Feng’s ears as the golden phantom sword pierced through his skull!
The green-haired youth’s corpse fell from the sky, crashing onto the rooftop, rolling off and landing in the villa courtyard.
“You made a mistake.”
Luo Feng landed beside the corpse and whispered, “You had already crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws. Originally, it wouldn’t have been so easy for me to kill you. But you chose to confront me head-on… who else can you blame?”
Although Luo Feng had never before used the Divine Blade in actual combat against an opponent like this.
In the virtual universe’s “Killing Field,” to familiarize himself with the Divine Blade, Luo Feng had set up numerous Stellar Constant-level opponents, each embodying different fundamental laws—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Light, Time, Space, and more—giving him invaluable experience.
Metal is the most yang and rigid, sharp beyond compare!
The wind is formless, elusive, and ever-changing!
Different laws lead to different fighting styles. Having crossed the threshold of the fundamental law of Metal, Luo Feng’s attacks were naturally yang and rigid, crushing all opposition! And wielding the Divine Blade, the weapon most suited to the fundamental law of Metal, its power was immense!
To clash head-on with Wind Wheel was to invite death.
Primarily, the green-haired youth, “Wind Wheel,” was awed by the Divine Blade’s reputation and had always dominated his peers without ever suffering defeat, so he only realized too late the best way to deal with the “Madman.”
…
The battle between the Madman and Wind Wheel naturally drew the attention of the other prodigies already in the northern district. By the time these prodigies approached to watch, the fight had already ended.
“Wind Wheel lost?”
“Wind Wheel was actually killed? That’s unbelievable. Did I see that right?”
“If even Wind Wheel fell, who can possibly defeat the Madman?”
A group of distant experts stood in awe. Wind Wheel far surpassed “Hammer,” “Cold Line,” or “Bone.” Many had debated who would emerge victorious between Wind Wheel and the Madman, yet most placed their faith in Wind Wheel—his legendary feats and unbroken record spoke for themselves.
He had always been effortlessly dominant, ruthlessly slaughtering all opposition!
Many had already regarded him as the number one expert in the city.
“That Madman is too strong.”
“What was that golden light the Madman used at the end? Wasn’t it said that the Madman’s psychokinetic weapon was the ‘Golden Fish’?”
“Right, how many points did the Madman earn for killing Wind Wheel?”
“Even if Wind Wheel lost half his points, his ranking will still be very high. As for the Madman… his points must now surpass Wind Wheel’s by far.”
…
Luo Feng, carrying the dark golden long staff, flew away from the villa area and arrived at a densely populated residential district in the distance, entering directly through a balcony.
“The thirty-day preliminary round, today is the final day.” Luo Feng silently sat on the ground, adjusting his mindset. These thirty days, especially the last twenty, had been spent completely releasing his inner madness, immersed in slaughter. He had killed thousands of people, climbing to the title of “Madman” through a trail of blood.
But Luo Feng didn’t want to return to reality with this mindset.
“Huff!”
He sat cross-legged, suppressing the bloodthirst buried deep in his bones, pushing it to the farthest recesses of his heart.
“Wind Wheel really had a lot of points. No wonder his previous ranking was 42nd.” Luo Feng looked down at the screen on his wrist, the points displayed there were staggering.
Contestant: Luo Feng (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)
Points: 32,178,201
Rank: 51
“Killing Wind Wheel earned me over eighteen million points!” Luo Feng marveled inwardly. Killing super elites indeed earned points quickly. Before this, he had nearly 14 million points, but this single kill far surpassed that! Wind Wheel had also mentioned killing a super elite from another city and earning over ten million points.
“The fastest way to earn points is definitely by killing super elites.”
“It would be best to hunt them down city by city.” Luo Feng mused.
For instance, killing the number one ranked contestant might earn over a hundred million points! Of course, that requires the capability to pull it off in the first place…
…
When Luo Feng killed Wind Wheel, his ranking instantly jumped from 102nd to 51st, drawing immediate attention from numerous factions and organizations within the Qianwu Cosmic Nation. Previously, when Luo Feng had just broken into the top 1001, the primary focus had been from the billions of citizens of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. But reaching 51st was a different story.
The higher the ranking, the more formidable the power!
Contestants ranked in the top three of each world district were generally true super prodigies who had crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws.
Among the top 100 of each world district, there were also some super prodigies who had begun to grasp the fundamental laws.
Rankings depended heavily on individual choices.
Two super elites, like Luo Feng and Wind Wheel, if they did not hide within their own cities but instead roamed the 91 cities of the entire world district, hunting down the super elites of each city, they might encounter formidable opponents, but more likely, they could rise to the top ten of their world district!
“Gather Luo Feng’s information.”
“This Luo Feng, ranked 51st, should be a combat prodigy who has reached the “Eighth or Ninth Layer of Domain,” or even a super prodigy who has grasped the fundamental laws.”
“In a backwater place like the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, how could a prodigy rise to 51st place?”
“It’s rare indeed. The Black Dragon Mountain Empire has always been mediocre among the vassal states of the Qianwu Cosmic Nation.”
…
At this moment, within the luxurious hall of the spaceship that gathered the ruling elite of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty.”
“What a joyous occasion.”
“Your Majesty, 51st place! A double-digit ranking!”
The entire hall of thousands erupted in excitement. Rankings in the hundreds, tens, and single digits represented vastly different levels of honor. For instance, the three currently selected contestants from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire—
“Hong” ranked 999th.
“Nabini” ranked 860th.
“Luo Feng” ranked 51st.
It was immediately clear that “Hong” and “Nabini” were among the most elite prodigies of the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, but Luo Feng was undoubtedly a super elite who could make a name for himself within the Qianwu Cosmic Nation.
“A double-digit ranking.”
“Your Majesty, the entire Black Dragon Mountain Island is ecstatic with excitement.”
The emperor, seated highest, could barely conceal a trace of joy on his face as he laughed heartily, “Our Empire has done very well in this preliminary round. Judging by the situation, we might very well have three contestants selected! Hong and Nabini are both excellent, but as for Luo Feng… Ha ha, he is the pride of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!”
“This Luo Feng has achieved great merit! Great merit indeed!” The emperor’s voice grew even louder, “He must be rewarded, handsomely rewarded!”
