Luo Feng’s pupils shrank as he gazed afar at the domain unleashed by the savage warrior, Lonyu.
Each of the top ten warriors in the universe possessed domains, and all were at the ninth level of domain mastery. Having a domain was not strange, but the savage warrior ‘Lonyu’s’ domain had nearly perfectly fused the ‘Primordial Law of Earth’ and the ‘Primordial Law of Space,’ creating a sense of spatial solidification once his domain was unleashed.
Terrifying!
“He comprehends the Primordial Law of Earth even better than Ronjun! As for the Primordial Law of Space, it’s hard to determine…but judging from his domain, it shows he has at least fused them together very well.” Luo Feng realized he had encountered a major problem.
To grasp two primordial laws and effectively combine them was the ultimate perfection.
Like the ‘Yanshen Weapon,’ it was a perfect fusion of two laws, but Luo Feng could only achieve this by using the Yanshen Weapon. As for his original self, his mastery of the Primordial Law of Gold was through his ‘Golden-Horned Beast’ clone, and his mastery of the Primordial Law of Space was through his ‘Mosha Clan’ clone, while the fusion and application relied on his Earthman self.
Luo Feng’s progress had been too rapid.
This caused his fusion efficiency to lag behind that of the ‘Golden-Horned Beast’ and ‘Mosha Clan’ clones.
“The arena battle begins!” The man in the cyan battle robe, with purple scales, glanced at Lonyu on the distant arena and said.
Instantly!
Five duels began!
…
“Go!” Standing midair, Luo Feng pointed toward Lonyu while stepping on the Dark Cloud Shuttle.
Immediately, the dark golden long rod behind him flew out nine golden streaks of light, which instantly combined into nine golden phantom swords. Swirling with golden currents, the nine golden sword beams resembled the heads of nine golden dragons, roaring as they charged toward the savage warrior Lonyu, who stood firmly in place.
“Nine golden phantom swords. Let’s see how many you can block.” Luo Feng watched from afar.
Hiss~ Hiss~
A 50-meter radius, ochre-colored domain was extremely dense. After the nine golden phantom swords flew into this ochre domain, their speed visibly and rapidly decreased, as if it was extremely difficult and strenuous to penetrate the domain. By the time they pierced through the 50-meter radius and approached Lonyu, their speed had dropped to a third, and their power was likely less than a tenth of the original.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!…
The golden phantom swords struck the scaled armor, but Lonyu did not move an inch.
“This domain has already…” Luo Feng, hovering in the midair afar, changed expressions drastically.
“The heaviness of earth, the optimal combination of space and domain, perfectly harmonized among the three.” The tall bull-headed immortal, among the 1008 immortals afar, chuckled, “When it comes to domain suppression, Lonyu is the best among the top ten.”
“Bo Lan focuses more on speed, while Lonyu focuses more on defense. They are different.”
“Luo Feng is unlucky. He previously encountered the most difficult opponent, Galesi, and now faces an even stronger one, Lonyu. Haha…”
…
As the immortals afar discussed Lonyu, Lonyu charged toward Luo Feng in large strides.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each step, the arena shook as Lonyu ran, giving the impression of a mountain pressing forward. Then, his body blurred and he directly reached midair. Luo Feng, who had already activated the Hundred-Lines Ryu, left nine illusions in midair and dodged far away.
Boom! Lonyu landed on the ground.
“Lonyu, you too must face my ultimate move!” Luo Feng, hovering in midair, roared furiously, gritting his teeth, “Sky Piercing Style!!!”
Roar!
The nine golden sword beams instantly halted midair. At the same time, the nine golden phantom swords rapidly stacked and fused, one by one. This stack of golden phantom swords instantly merged into one. Countless dense golden threads surged and connected, while the fused golden phantom sword began to shrink, and the golden threads also thinned.
It was said to be shrinking!
Actually, each golden phantom sword was composed of nine small golden swords. This fused ‘golden phantom sword’ was actually made up of eighty-one small golden swords. The eighty-one small golden swords were tiny, so this was a process of compressing the distance between them. In just the blink of an eye, the eighty-one small golden swords perfectly aligned and formed a real golden sword.
This golden sword was not in the least illusory; it was very real.
About a foot long, it was entirely composed of eighty-one small golden swords, perfectly joined together, with countless golden threads running through and winding around it, making the formed golden sword incredibly real and perfect. Upon closer inspection, there was not the slightest trace of assembly, as if it were a truly complete golden sword, over a foot long.
Mysterious patterns on its surface gave the golden sword an ancient aura.
The second form of Yanshen—Sky Piercing Style!
“Whoosh!”
The golden sword, swirling with golden currents, shot forward like a comet, leaving a long golden current trail directly piercing toward Lonyu.
“Hmm?” Lonyu’s expression changed, and his spreading ochre domain trembled.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
It was as if a sharp needle pierced through layers of cloth. Even after piercing through the entire ochre domain, the attack still retained eight-tenths of its original power!
“Hmph!” Lonyu swung his terrifying massive axe. As the axe fell, the surrounding space seemed to be compressed, directly striking the golden sword.
“Boom~~”
The arena shook violently.
Lonyu heavily retreated three steps, each step making the ground tremble.
…
The 990 observing geniuses and the 1008 powerful immortals were all delighted to witness this scene.
“Unexpected! Unexpected! Luo Feng not only cultivated the ‘Hundred-Lines Ryu’ to the second level, but his progress in the Primordial Law of Gold is even greater! He can actually perform the ‘Sky Piercing Style.'” A group of immortals marveled. This generation not only produced the best Death God, Bo Lan, in millions of years, but also several others who could have taken first place in previous generations.
Galesi, Luo Feng, Gusi Luo, Ronjun, and Lonyu would have been qualified to take first place in previous generations. Even if not first, they would certainly be in the top three.
This generation was indeed filled with elites.
In terms of law comprehension, Luo Feng indeed had more insight into the Primordial Law of Gold than the Primordial Law of Space. It was known that Luo Feng had comprehended the Primordial Law of Gold early on, and in terms of difficulty, the Primordial Law of Space was much harder than the Primordial Law of Gold.
Since stepping into the ‘Hundred-Lines Ryu’.
Combining the secret technique of the Hundred-Lines Ryu and his insights into the Primordial Law of Gold, Luo Feng was able to condense nine phantom swords into one to perform the ‘Sky Piercing Style’, a major hidden card he had not rushed to use. When he previously challenged the ‘Sixth Trial Tower of the Trial Space’, he faced ten thousand blood-furred mammoths.
Fighting one against ten thousand, Luo Feng still felt his golden phantom swords were not enough, so using nine golden phantom swords was more effective!
But against ‘Lonyu’, one versus one, naturally the Sky Piercing Style was stronger!
…
“Very good!” Lonyu’s eyes lit up, and he immediately charged forward.
“Hmm? He managed to dissipate the force? He was barely injured!” Luo Feng frowned. The Sky Piercing Style was incredibly powerful. If using the Phantom Sword Style was merely a claim to invincibility at the Stellar Lord level, then using the ‘Sky Piercing Style’ could truly be called invincible, fully capable of challenging a Golden-Horned Beast of the same level, even suppressing it (provided the Golden-Horned Beast wasn’t of the type that trained obsessively)!
Only in the most intense duels of this Genius Battle could one encounter one or two opponents like this.
Boom!
Lonyu leaped into the sky, his ochre aura accompanying the massive axe covering Luo Feng. However, Luo Feng had already split into nine illusions to dodge.
“Go!” Luo Feng, while dodging, shouted a low command.
Whoosh!
The golden sword pierced toward Lonyu again!
“Boom!” It seemed like a casual thrust, yet it contained inconceivable power. Despite being weakened by Lonyu’s domain, it still forced Lonyu to retreat and dissipate the force.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!…
The golden sword repeatedly stabbed, but Lonyu seemed like a turtle, enduring each strike. He wanted to chase Luo Feng… but Luo Feng, with the Dark Cloud Shuttle underfoot, dodged too quickly.
…
On the five platforms, one duel after another ended.
‘Bo Lan’ vs ‘Ronjun’, Bo Lan won!
‘Qianshui’ vs ‘Aopatela’, Qianshui won!
‘Jiangmo’ vs ‘Aichen’, Aichen won!
‘Lansiluo’ vs ‘Wuka’, Wuka won!
Only the last platform remained, with Luo Feng and Lonyu. Lonyu, like a turtle-shell warrior, repeatedly endured the ‘Sky Piercing Style’. Although his body was injured from the counterforce, it was within his tolerance. Moreover, the attacks from the ‘golden sword’ affected Lonyu’s speed, preventing him from instantly accelerating to catch up with Luo Feng!
A warrior’s burst of speed in close combat was astonishing enough to instantly close in and kill a Controller.
Unfortunately, the ‘Sky Piercing Style’ hindered Lonyu, making it impossible for him to catch Luo Feng!
And Luo Feng, even using soul attacks, could not harm Lonyu!
Both were unable to overcome each other!
Time passed, minute by minute. The arena space automatically began to shrink slowly. The maximum duration of this peak arena battle was about 10 minutes, and by the end, the entire arena space would shrink to a diameter of one meter. This was to prevent ‘Controllers’ from flying away at the start and avoiding battle, hence this rule was established.
“Damn it!”
“Big trouble for Luo Feng.”
“The arena space is getting smaller and smaller. Now it’s only a kilometer in diameter, and Luo Feng’s maneuvering area is shrinking, which is very disadvantageous for him.”
…
When the arena space diameter was reduced to a hundred meters, Luo Feng also smiled bitterly.
A hundred meters?
At the ninth stage of Stellar Lord, one step could instantly cover a hundred meters. Most importantly, Lonyu’s domain maintained maximum power with a radius of 50 meters, meaning the diameter was 100 meters, perfectly filling the entire arena space! In other words, no matter how Luo Feng flew or dodged, he was always under the opponent’s domain.
When it came to domain suppression, no one could rival Lonyu; even Bo Lan might be slightly inferior.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” In the confined space, Lonyu’s face turned red with effort as he furiously swung his massive axe. Under the domain suppression, Luo Feng was completely on the defensive. When the space diameter was reduced to 50 meters, Luo Feng finally lost.
…
It was a bit unfair, yet not entirely unjust.
Unfair, because if the arena space hadn’t shrunk, Lonyu would never have had the chance to kill Luo Feng up close.
Not unfair, because in terms of law comprehension and fusion application, his opponent indeed surpassed him!
…
The top five had been selected: Bo Lan, Qianshui, Aichen, Wuka, and Lonyu. Three males and two females.
“Very impressive,” the man in the cyan battle robe with purple scales smiled as he looked at the 1000 young people, “This top five battle was indeed spectacular and delightful. Everyone, please rest first. Then we will proceed with the top five round-robin battle. The rule is… each of the top five must fight the other four. The winner gets one point, and finally, the rankings are determined by points to select the first and second places.”
…
Shortly after.
Luo Feng was sipping tea, with Ronjun sitting beside him. They were watching the battles on the distant arena.
“What a pity,” Ronjun sighed. “You’ve actually mastered the ‘Sky Piercing Style,’ which fully qualifies you to challenge for the second place.”
“If Lonyu is strong in defense, then you are strong in offense! If it weren’t for facing Bo Lan, you would also have a chance to reach the second place.” Luo Feng also smiled.
They looked at each other and laughed.
Both of them had strong wills and clear plans. Luo Feng was firmly committed to the path of a Controller, while Ronjun was determined to create his own secret techniques… There are countless paths, but the key is to stick to your own choice. After all, any path can lead to becoming a supreme being. The real fear is wavering and doubting yourself now and then.
In this Genius Battle, both of them had been somewhat unlucky.
One encountered Bo Lan.
The other ultimately lost due to the ‘shrinking arena space’.
It was over.
Both of them had reached the final stage, only to stop there and settle for a top ten position.
“Truly formidable is Lonyu,” Ronjun remarked, watching Lonyu defeat the Prince of Banka Star on the arena.
“He is stronger than you in domain fusion, but his axe techniques fall short of your swordsmanship,” Luo Feng replied. “Look, Qianshui… she’s really impressive, winning the match.”
“She is the only Controller among the five, but her offensive power is clearly inferior to your ‘Sky Piercing Style’. If you were to face her, you could definitely win against Qianshui,” Ronjun said.
As they conversed and observed the ongoing battles.
The round-robin matches among the top five proceeded one after another. Soon, the final rankings were announced.
Bo Lan won all four matches, undisputedly the first place!
Lonyu won three matches and lost one, securing the second place! His only loss was to Bo Lan, whose sword techniques were indeed too fast and ruthless.
…
Bo Lan was allowed to enter the Primordial Secret Realm, which everyone accepted.
However, Lonyu entering the Primordial Secret Realm still raised doubts among many people, since Galesi, Luo Feng, and Ronjun were all at his level. But if any of Luo Feng, Galesi, or Ronjun had entered the Primordial Secret Realm, it would have similarly sparked skepticism from other geniuses.
In the same way, before achieving absolute superiority, it is difficult to convince others.
…
The 1000 geniuses and 1008 powerful immortals stood in the central plaza, listening to the man in the cyan battle robe with purple scales.
“First and second.”
“Third to tenth.”
“Eleventh to hundredth.”
“Hundred and first to thousandth.”
“All four tiers have been selected. Today marks the perfect conclusion of this Cosmic Human Peak Genius Selection Battle.” The man in the cyan battle robe with purple scales smiled, “You are an exceptionally outstanding generation. I believe that in dozens or even hundreds of eons, many of you will become renowned throughout the entire universe.”
“Shortly, there will be designated personnel to contact you, take you to the global headquarters of our Virtual Universe Company, where you will gather, and then proceed to the ‘Primordial Universe.'”
“From now on, your paths will no longer be ordinary.”
“Our Virtual Universe Company will fully support you. Whether you become a supreme being renowned across the universe, an ordinary powerful being, or perish along the way, it all depends on yourselves. Work hard, for your path to power has just begun!” The voice of the man in the cyan battle robe with purple scales echoed in everyone’s mind.
This generation’s Genius Battle had officially come to an end!
