Invisible mental force stealthily infiltrated Luo Feng’s consciousness.
His consciousness sea was vast and boundless, yet nearly filled entirely by a pale golden tower—the tower of void, composed of two tiers. Crystalline and radiant, faintly inscribed with mysterious runes, it appeared flawless, guarding the soul core within layers of impenetrable defense.
“The Tower of Void”—the second-tier of the tower realm.
Among the secret techniques passed down by the master of Yimo Star, Luo Feng focused his studies on “Soul Seal” and “The Tower of Void.” “Soul Seal” was created by his teacher, but as he delved deeper, it leaned increasingly towards soul attacks. As the saying goes, “each profession has its own expertise.” Since Luo Feng specialized in “Controller,” the cultivation of “Soul Seal” naturally slowed. He only mastered the foundational “Ten Thousand Sword Soul Seal,” achieving the ability to form the “Enslavement Soul Seal,” without further advancement.
In contrast, “The Tower of Void” held significant importance in Luo Feng’s plans. As a mental controller, while his soul attacks might be weaker, his defenses must be formidable, leaving no room for vulnerabilities. Therefore, he never dared to slack off!
Moreover, “The Tower of Void” was an immensely powerful secret art.
His teacher had obtained it by sheer chance and, before his death, had only cultivated it to the sixth-tier realm. Had he reached the seventh tier, as he himself believed, he might have survived that deadly calamity. Thus, one could imagine the immense power of “The Tower of Void.”
Five years had slipped by since the dawn of the Samsara War, yet Luo Feng never slackened in his cultivation. Alongside profound realizations of the primal laws governing the “Golden” and “Spatial” origins, he at last ascended to the second-tier realm of the “Void Pagoda.”
“The Tower of Void” was a technique focused solely on defense!
“Hu!”
The void mental force unleashed by Illusion Demon Galesi invaded Luo Feng’s consciousness sea, directly touching the Tower of Void. Upon contact, it did not launch a direct assault but instead spread out like a thin film, gradually adhering to the surface of the Tower of Void.
Essentially, the Tower of Void was composed of mental force arranged in a precise and intricate sequence, yet at its core, it remained mental force.
And mental force inherently carried a trace of consciousness.
The soul, in fact, was a collection of countless strands of mental energy. As the void mental force touched the “Tower of Void,” Luo Feng’s consciousness was drawn into a terrifying “mental illusion.”
…
One moment he had been locked in battle with Illusion Demon Galesi, and the next, his consciousness was plunged into an entirely different scene.
“How could this happen?” Luo Feng stood above the Pacific Ocean, watching a monstrous beast, over a hundred kilometers long, wreaking havoc on Earth, unleashing catastrophic floods. At times, the beast, with two tusks each over ten kilometers long, spewed flames toward the ground.
Skyscrapers in the city base crumbled into ruins, people screamed, and countless others fled in terror.
“Sanzi, what should we do? We can’t possibly defeat something this powerful—it’s at least a Domain Lord-level beast!” The voice of Thunder God came through the communication watch on his wrist.
“Third Brother, quickly protect the last of our seeds and leave Earth—flee immediately. They are the last hope for humanity.” Hong’s face appeared on the watch, filled with anxiety.
“No!”
“Wake up! Wake up!” Luo Feng felt as though he were trapped in a childhood dream—aware he was dreaming, yet unable to wake. This was precisely the state he was in. However, Luo Feng’s consciousness was exceptionally strong. His cultivation of mental fortitude, along with the influence of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, had made his soul inherently cold and unyielding. Thus, he quickly realized he had fallen into an illusion.
Realization was one thing—waking up was another.
Fortunately, the “Tower of Void” provided tight defense around his soul core. Although Illusion Demon Galesi’s mental illusions were extraordinary, they could only slightly affect him, unable to penetrate deeply into his mind.
“Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!!!” Luo Feng’s will roared, and the entire illusionary world began to tremble and shake.
Peng!
The illusion shattered.
Luo Feng fully regained consciousness. Unlike the hazy illusionary world, everything before him became crystal clear—this was the true 100% realistic simulation of the virtual universe.
“Xiu!” The black disc was already before him.
“Perfect timing.” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. Stepping onto the Dark Cloud Shuttle, his speed surged. Simultaneously, a series of shields manifested over his body. However, the distance was too close—he had no time to control the Yandao.
“Dang!”
The black disc struck one of the shields, sending it flying. It grazed Luo Feng’s arm, slicing through his protective armor and carving off a chunk of flesh. Blood sprayed into the air as Luo Feng swiftly dodged away.
“Die!” Luo Feng growled inwardly, pointing toward the Illusion Demon Galesi, whose face had turned pale with shock.
Hong!
Six golden streaks of light shot from the dark-gold staff on Luo Feng’s back, instantly condensing into six golden illusionary swords. In an instant, they pierced before Galesi. Galesi, still stunned, had a strange array of golden shards on his body coalesce into a protective armor.
“Peng! Peng! Peng!” A series of lightning-fast sword beams struck in rapid succession, shattering the armor and reducing the Illusion Demon Galesi within the black robe to nothingness.
Hong!
A thunderous explosion, blood flying everywhere.
Illusion Demon Galesi, defeated!
Madman Luo Feng, victorious! Top Ten achieved!
Such was the swiftness of battle between experts—if Luo Feng had awakened just a moment later, he would have been beheaded and killed. But once he awoke, it was Galesi’s end!
…
“How is this possible?” The Illusion Demon Galesi, cloaked in black robes, stared in disbelief. “My ‘Soul Confusion’ secret art—according to the King’s guidance, only ‘Bolan’ could resist it completely. Others would surely be unable to withstand it. I was certain of a Top Ten spot, even a chance at second place. How could he… Even if his soul was not completely ensnared, it should have taken time to break free from the illusion. That brief moment should have been enough for me to kill him. But he… he actually managed to break free so quickly.”
Indeed, he possessed defensive techniques.
The mental force weapons forming armor barely resisted the first round of six golden illusionary swords. Yet, Luo Feng’s attack was simply too overwhelming, leading to his demise.
Strong defense! Combined with mental force weapons and terrifying mental illusions…
One-on-one, he was an absolutely terrifying opponent.
Yet, he still lost.
…
“Hmm? Lost?”
“Did Illusion Demon Galesi actually lose?” Many watching geniuses were astonished. Previously, Galesi’s battle videos had been overwhelmingly dominant—every time, he hadn’t even needed to use mental force weapons, relying solely on soul attacks to eliminate opponents within illusions, always with absolute superiority.
This time, Galesi had not been the least bit arrogant. He recognized “Madman Luo Feng” as a formidable opponent and employed both “illusion” and “mental force weapons” together. Yet, he still lost!
Despite giving his all, he still lost!
“Oh?”
“Did Luo Feng actually win?” Among the 1008 powerful immortals observing from afar, many eyes lit up. Most of these 1008 immortals had believed “Illusion Demon Galesi” would win, as they well understood how difficult it was to cultivate illusions. A supreme illusionist was truly terrifying.
“To awaken in an instant—how formidable must one’s will be? How serene must one’s spirit remain? This youth is remarkable, truly remarkable.” A towering, ten-meter-tall Minotaur immortal, his horns gleaming, boomed in awe, his voice echoing like rolling thunder.
…
Luo Feng’s victory surprised many. The main reason was that Illusion Demon Galesi had long been considered by many immortals as a foe only Death God Bolan could resist. After all, his comprehension of fundamental laws was profound, and his consciousness had been influenced by the very essence of the universe, making it nearly impossible to shake.
The stronger the warrior, the deeper their understanding of fundamental laws, the more unshakable their willpower.
For others facing Illusion Demon Galesi, the chances of defeat exceeded eighty percent!
Among the twenty contestants, aside from “Bolan,” the other eighteen felt some apprehension toward Illusion Demon Galesi. Even Luo Feng had no absolute confidence, though he felt slightly more assured… and yet, this formidable opponent was ultimately defeated by Luo Feng.
…
Among the ten battle platforms, one of them hosted a white-robed youth wielding a blood-red sword—the first to emerge victorious. He turned his head slightly, surprised, glancing toward Luo Feng’s platform, frowning slightly as he murmured, “Luo Feng?”
“Ah, Luo Feng?” Also among those who had won before Luo Feng was the green-haired girl ‘Qianshui,’ her eyes sparkling as she gazed toward Luo Feng’s platform in the distance.
Indeed.
When Luo Feng won, only three platforms had declared their victors—Bolan, Qianshui, and Luo Feng. Though it seemed slow to describe, the battle itself had been incredibly fast.
“Pu!”
A green-haired youth with mysterious markings on his face stood on another platform, smiling faintly.
“Brother! Brother!” Qianshui cheered excitedly.
Her older brother “Jiangmo” had also entered the Top Ten. This sibling pair both made it into the Top Ten.
…
One by one, the victors of the ten platforms emerged.
Bolan, Qianshui, Luo Feng, Jiangmo, Lansiluo, Wuka, Aichen, Longyun, Aopatela… and finally—
Ronjun!
The battle between Gusiluo and Ronjun was the longest of all ten platforms. Gusiluo was a near-perfect mental controller, and from the very start, he had controlled the entire fight. As the second-highest ranked trial competitor, he had been the strongest contender for second place and entry into the Primordial Secret Realm.
Yet… he had lost to the savage Ronjun?
“Ronjun won?”
“Gusiluo actually lost?”
“Gusiluo, the strongest contender for second place, actually lost?”
The more than nine hundred other observing geniuses were stunned into silence. Among the nine already victorious champions standing on the platforms, all gazed intently at Ronjun, blood-stained and savage, like a war god risen from the wilderness.
“Powerful sword techniques.”
“Truly terrifying sword techniques.”
Even Death God Bolan furrowed his brows, while others, including Luo Feng, struggled to hide their shock.
“That sword technique…” Luo Feng stared at the savage youth Ronjun, watching the massive war blade in his hand, recalling the previous image of a single slash that seemed to cleave mountains and split the earth.
