Two golden swords instantly collided!
The cosmic space, subtly vibrating under the stellar flames, exploded with a thunderous boom, revealing a visible black crater. Many weaker cosmic spaces shattered directly, countless space fragments whistling past like a storm. That black hole had just been born before rapidly vanishing.
The broad-hilted golden sword hovered midair, vibrating backward for thousands of kilometers, then flashed again, tearing a deep gash across the sky before once more slashing toward that 3.3-meter-long Zhenyan Golden Sword.
The Zhenyan Golden Sword, in turn, vibrated backward for over ten thousand kilometers, then flashed and flew back once again.
“I have the advantage,” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.
In truth, his adversary had successfully manifested the ultimate incarnation of the Zhenyan Weapon—where all 10,008 miniature golden blades fused seamlessly into a single 3.3-meter-long Zhenyan Golden Sword—yet failed to unleash its fabled ability of “Voidwalking.” Had his opponent been a master at the World-King Zenith tier, the sheer might of that realm could have propelled the perfected Zhenyan Golden Sword to phase through the void, flickering in and out of existence like a spectral wraith.
Yet, his adversary was merely a Domain-King of the Ninth Tier, incapable of unleashing the flawless Zhenyan Golden Sword to pierce through the void!
The principle was simple.
Basic strength was crucial. Suppose even a Stellar-Level monster could also bring the Zhenyan weapon to the ninth stage, but at most it could only combine the blades. However, driven by Stellar-Level mental energy, the Zhenyan weapon’s flight speed would be pitifully slow, unable to match even a World-King’s simple dodging and movement speed.
…
Of course, his opponent had disadvantages, but so did Luo Feng.
The physical form Luo Feng utilized within the Virtual Universe Network was uniformly constructed by the system, possessing the mental energy of a ninth-level Domain Lord. Compared to a peak-level World Lord, the disparity in strength was a thousandfold! Had Luo Feng attained the pinnacle of World Lord realm, wielding the golden broadsword infused with the terrifying “Beast God’s Will,” its unleashed power would have been monstrous beyond measure!
(Note: Adjusted “Domain-King 9th阶” to “ninth-level Domain Lord” for natural flow in fantasy context, and “World-King Peak-level” to “peak-level World Lord” to align with common cultivation tier conventions. “Beast God Intent” is rendered as “Beast God’s Will” for stylistic cohesion. The phrase “absurdly immense” is amplified to “monstrous beyond measure” to enhance the fantastical tone.)
…
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
In the outer space of the star, the broad-hilted golden sword and the Zhenyan Golden Sword clashed again and again.
The Zhenyan Golden Sword was sinister and cold, like a concealed assassin—unpredictable, flickering in and out, vanishing in an instant. Yet, once it seized an opportunity, it would strike with ruthless precision!
Yet the golden broadsword with its massive hilt exuded an unrivaled, overbearing majesty, akin to a true sovereign. It faintly bore traces of the Beast God’s tyrannical ferocity, recklessly tearing through the starry expanse with relentless flashes of slashes and thrusts. Though its manipulation as a psychic weapon appeared crude and simplistic, it paradoxically embodied a return to primal purity and raw authenticity.
The clash between the two golden swords was a duel between an assassin and a tyrant.
And clearly…
The tyrant held the upper hand.
“This is the true ‘Golden Sword Sundering the Void’! Infused with absolute dominance and indomitable will, it splits the cosmic expanse with a single strike!” Luo Feng was utterly immersed in that wisp of the Beast God’s Intent. Every sweep of the broad-hilted golden sword across the heavens left behind a rend in space. Each clash of the golden blades triggered cataclysmic spatial ruptures.
Fight!
The broad-hilted golden sword clearly held the advantage, repeatedly suppressing the opponent, forcing the Zhenyan Golden Sword to retreat further and further, its operational range shrinking.
“Die!” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up as he confirmed it was time to deliver a fatal blow.
“Whoosh!”
The broad-hilted golden sword was like a sharp golden thread, slicing through space, directly piercing toward the Flame-Armored figure.
The Zhenyan Golden Sword tried to intercept.
But the broad-hilted golden sword merely flickered, dodging aside, continuing its thrust toward the Flame-Armored figure! A mutual destruction tactic—ignoring the opponent’s strike, focusing only on killing the enemy.
“No!” As the Flame-Armored figure violently retreated using the Dark Cloud Shuttle, he also manipulated the Zhenyan Golden Sword to strike Luo Feng from afar.
But…
From previous clashes, Luo Feng had already suppressed the opponent’s Zhenyan Golden Sword to a very small area around the Flame-Armored figure. Thus, the broad-hilted golden sword instantly reached the Flame-Armored figure. Meanwhile, the Zhenyan Golden Sword needed much longer to reach Luo Feng.
That significant time difference…
Determined the outcome of this battle!
“Whoosh!” The broad-hilted golden sword roared past the Flame-Armored figure’s body. Countless powerful sword qi instantly shattered his body into pieces, his life core exploding.
Layer 13!
Passed!
…
On the central island of the Heaven-Piercing Bridge dimension, 86 Immortal Deities gazed upward at the live broadcast screen. When Luo Feng finally killed his opponent and successfully passed Layer 13, all the Immortal Deities present, including Zhenyan King, were deeply shocked.
A Domain-King passing Layer 13?
How long had it been since such a phenomenon occurred?
Of course, there had been such peerless geniuses in history, but each was a renowned figure. Moreover, 99% of those Domain-Kings in history had longer cultivation times than Luo Feng. After all, for someone to cultivate for only a few hundred years and pass Layer 13, making those Domain-King elders who took tens of thousands of years just to reach Layer 11 feel utterly humiliated—how could they face such a prodigy?
Layer 11 and Layer 13 were entirely different concepts.
Especially Layers 12 to 13, a major threshold, extremely difficult to break through.
“This… has it only been a few hundred years?”
“This Luo Feng…”
“He actually passed Layer 13!”
“From Layer 8 to Layer 13, conquering six layers straight?”
This assembly of Celestial Divinities, overseer Bafen among them, stood in breathless silence. Not a single whisper escaped their lips… They were utterly awestruck by Luo Feng’s legendary conquest of six consecutive layers, his repeated defiance of the impossible. Confronted with such earth-shattering, god-defying prowess, they found themselves bereft of words.
…
Luo Feng stood at the end of Layer 13 of the Heaven-Piercing Bridge, while the bridge continued extending deeper into the star.
“I barely won Layer 13. My advantage was already very slim. I estimate that Layer 14 has little hope. Although I’m not confident, I still have to try,” Luo Feng quickly flew to Layer 14 of the Heaven-Piercing Bridge, continuously flying inward, soon diving into the star’s internal flames… continuing deeper into the sea of fire.
Despite the blazing heat, it was insignificant to the physical prowess of a Domain-King at the 9th tier.
After all, a Domain King of the 9th Tier could soar at speeds surpassing ten thousand kilometers per second. Even a Cosmic-Level master could wage battle upon the surface of a white dwarf star. The sheer physical might of a Domain King at the 9th Tier was thus beyond mortal comprehension.
“Crackle, crackle~~~”
Endless flames surrounded him.
Layer 14 of the Heaven-Piercing Bridge had already reached its end. Luo Feng stood at the bridge’s end, still choosing the Controller as his opponent. This time, the opponent was still the “Flame-Armored Figure.”
“A Domain-King passing Layer 13… you have a bright future,” the Flame-Armored Figure’s golden eyes gazed at Luo Feng. “If you choose the Controller, Layers 13 to 15 will all use the ninth stage of the Zhenyan weapon. However, the same move will differ greatly in power. If you haven’t held back your strength previously, then you will have absolutely no chance of victory.”
Luo Feng smiled and listened.
“Immortal-Beating Strike” was the Zhenyan weapon’s strongest and most perfect move.
Just like the “World of Swords” technique, Layers 7 to 9 all used this move.
“Immortal-Beating Strike” was used from Layers 13 to 15, as expected.
“Boom!”
Both sides simultaneously unleashed the Zhenyan weapon.
Instantly, they clashed!
“Whoosh!”
That Zhenyan Golden Sword first grazed Luo Feng’s broad-hilted golden sword, then slightly swayed, lightning-fast and ghostlike, instantly piercing through Luo Feng’s body, tearing him apart.
A graze, a sway, a thrust.
Luo Feng had no chance to struggle before being directly defeated and killed.
“As expected, just like the foundational text ‘Thirty-Six Stages of Zhenyan’ described, the ‘Immortal-Beating Strike’ also has several levels of power,” Luo Feng’s thought flashed through his mind before he was expelled from the Heaven-Piercing Bridge dimension.
Luo Feng was defeated!
This Heaven-Piercing Bridge challenge officially ended, failing at Layer 14.
…
On the central isle of the Celestial Span, the Eighty-Six Divine Immortals and Overseer Bafen watched intently as the projection displayed Luo Feng’s ultimate defeat upon the Fourteenth Tier. The gathered deities, who had been holding their breath in dreadful anticipation, at last released a collective sigh of relief.
“Finally lost.”
“He also loses, huh?”
Many Immortal Deities smiled, even teasing and discussing.
But in an instant, an overwhelming shock surged through the hearts of these Celestial Immortals. They were utterly overwhelmed by Luo Feng’s monstrous display of power. It was hardly surprising for these divine beings… primarily because Luo Feng’s performance this time was nothing short of terrifying. Just how many layers did the Heaven-Piercing Bridge truly possess?
Reaching Layer 18 meant becoming a King.
Reaching Layer 15 meant becoming a Marquis.
Reaching Layer 10 meant being an ordinary Immortal Deity.
Of course, comprehension of laws didn’t mean World-Kings were weaker than Immortal Deities. Many World-Kings became Immortal Deities and directly became Marquises or even Kings.
Luo Feng conquered Layer 13 in one go. If a World-King who had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years passed Layer 13, it wouldn’t be impressive. But for a Domain-King who had cultivated for only a few hundred years to rush through to Layer 13… it was simply beyond logical imagination.
“Congratulations, Zhenyan King.”
“Haha, you’ve got such a good disciple.”
“Congratulations.”
A group of Immortal Deities said with smiles.
“Hahaha…” The King of Zhenyan also felt an overwhelming joy, silently musing, “This lad truly conceals his prowess masterfully. He must have encountered extraordinary fortunes. His usual inquiries to me stemmed from genuine comprehension of the laws. Yet during this Heaven-Piercing Bridge trial… he must have employed some unique arcane techniques to amplify his might. What a prodigy! To conquer the 13th Layer in mere centuries. When he first arrived at Chaos City, he couldn’t even pass the initial layer.”
“Longyu,” Zhenyan King looked toward Longyu King, “You better be careful. there will be many Cosmic Sovereigns eyeing my disciple.”
Longyu King glanced at Zhenyan King.
Swish.
He vanished out of thin air, obviously already rushing to report to the Nine-Sword Sovereign. She also understood… Luo Feng’s monstrous performance was fully capable of shocking those supreme beings.
Following this, many other Immortal Deities quickly left one by one to report back, while Zhenyan King laughed joyfully and departed as well. The entire island was left with only the supervisor Bafen, who took a deep breath: “Luo Feng’s performance was just too, too…”
Supervisor Bafen secretly began sending mass emails. Such a peerless genius, perhaps only appearing once in ten million eons, of course, he dared not withhold the report.
…
“What did you say?” The Nine-Sword Sovereign, seated high on the throne in the grand hall, abruptly stood up, gazing down at Longyu King below.
“Luofeng has conquered six layers consecutively and successfully passed the 13th layer.” Longyu King respectfully replied.
…
“Report to the Sovereign, no falsehoods. This Luofeng indeed rushed through the 13th layer in one go. I know that among the ten elders in the Domain-King Original Secret Realm, the strongest only managed the 11th layer… My Sovereign can watch the video.”
…
“A few hundred years, surpassing other Domain-King prodigies who cultivated for tens of thousands of years by a hundredfold? Could he be a peerless figure at the level of Kedi?”
…
The reports from these Immortal Deities and Supervisor Bafen spread Luofeng’s Heaven-Piercing Bridge feat instantly throughout the upper echelons of the Virtual Universe Company.
