Chapter 927: The First Battle

Psychic power shattered the ice layer, sending countless ice fragments flying into the sky. Amidst the swirling ice shards, a figure flew from a distant location.

Luo Feng hovered above the icy sea, faintly spotting the approaching figure through the flying ice.

“Haha, human, you dare to show yourself!” A deep, powerful voice echoed through the void, exploding near Luo Feng’s ears. At the same time, a mighty divine force surged outward in all directions, instantly reducing the ice fragments to nothingness. In an instant, the sky and earth were clear.

Luo Feng now clearly saw the distant figure. The being had a lower body resembling a lion’s, with four hooves, and an upper body resembling a human, with four thick arms. His body was dark-blue, as if carved from metal.

A piece of information surfaced in Luo Feng’s mind.

Benthuunder King, ranked 12th in the Ice Prison, a master of the Time Law.

“It’s actually him,” Luo Feng thought with alarm. “Though his ranking is slightly lower than that of the White Bone King, the strength of the top ten Kings is nearly equal. Moreover, this Benthuunder King specializes in the Time Law. I’m skilled in instantaneous speed, but if struck by time stasis, I’ll be in trouble. He actually has an advantage over me.”

Though troubled, Luo Feng’s fighting spirit surged even stronger.

“Why wouldn’t I dare show myself?” Luo Feng’s voice echoed across the heavens as he gazed at the Benthuunder King. “Are you really so fearsome? Even the White Bone King couldn’t do anything to me, let alone you, who ranks one spot lower than him.”

“Human, don’t you know that two of the Five Titans are after you!” The Benthuunder King’s voice rolled like thunder.

Luo Feng’s heart sank. The Five Titans represented the strongest forces in the Ice Prison, three of whom were special beings—against whom Luo Feng naturally remained vigilant.

“Silver-Eye and Blood-Hound have already come after you,” the Benthuunder King continued.

“Both are special beings,” Luo Feng muttered to himself.

“Haha, so what if they came after me? Does that mean I should stay hidden forever?” Luo Feng laughed loudly.

“Exactly, their search is useless, because… today you will die by my hands!” The Benthuunder King’s voice rumbled like thunder, filled with battle intent. The brief exchange, especially mentioning Silver-Eye and Blood-Hound, was meant to unsettle Luo Feng.

The battle erupted in an instant.

In the distance, more than thirty alien powerhouses were scattered across various locations, all observing the battle from afar.

“The human is fighting the Benthuunder King.”

“The human might be at a disadvantage.”

“The human’s speed is incredible.”

Above the icy sea, Luo Feng and the Benthuunder King’s battle quickly escalated into a frenzy.

“Thunder Stomp!” The Benthuunder King roared, charging toward Luo Feng like an immortalized wild bull. His four hooves trampled the void, causing it to crack and release electric serpents. What troubled Luo Feng most was that the Benthuunder King seemed to accelerate dozens of times suddenly, then slowed down abruptly. Under this bizarre time flow, Luo Feng was still unprepared when the Benthuunder King suddenly appeared before him.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The Benthuunder King’s four hooves directly stomped toward Luo Feng! Each stomp was terrifyingly heavy; the electric serpents scattered by the hooves could reduce a planet to dust.

Bang!

Luo Feng was struck squarely on the back, yet the Slaughterer Wu Wings withstood hundreds of consecutive stomps, sending him plummeting into the icy sea below. Boom! The frozen ocean erupted, sending towering waves surging into the sky. Amidst the chaos, a streak of silver light suddenly shot upward—Luo Feng, completely unharmed.

“Benthuunder King, now take my move!” As Luo Feng rose from the crashing waves, he flung out eight black spheres while secretly unleashing the soul attack “Soul Blade.”

The Benthuunder King charged once more, his four hooves stamping through the void. In his grasp materialized four ancient, weathered chains, each coiled around one of his four arms, with electric serpents writhing along their lengths. Just as he braced to counter Luo Feng’s psychic weapon assault, the intangible “Soul Blade” abruptly descended.

A hint of pain flickered across the Benthuunder King’s stone-carved face.

“Hu-man!” The Benthuunder King roared, already swinging the four chains. Clang! Clang! Clang! The four mottled chains, crackling with electricity, danced through the air, causing the time flow in the surrounding space to constantly shift.

“Lightning Scar!”

One of the chains swung forth like a striking venomous snake, leaving a streak of lightning across the sky, directly lunging toward the newly formed Beast God illusion. The Beast God immediately dodged, his tail lashing out like a whip toward the lightning streak.

Bang!

Each of the eight black spheres struck the mottled chains, only to be repelled one by one.

“Hu-man, is running the only thing you’re good at?” The Benthuunder King laughed maniacally, trampling the void with his four hooves as he charged toward Luo Feng. The four mottled chains in his grasp each exuded a terrifying aura. As the chains danced, the surrounding space became the domain of lightning chains.

Luo Feng flipped his hand, retrieving the eight stars, glancing at the Benthuunder King, thinking, “My ‘Single Whip’ technique still falls short compared to the likes of the Benthuunder King, White Bone King, and Heitui King.”

Whoosh!

He spread his wings, leaving a zigzagging trail in midair, increasing the distance from the Benthuunder King.

“Don’t run!” The Benthuunder King roared. He had finally witnessed the so-called “fastest speed in the Ice Prison.”

Luo Feng didn’t even glance at him, instead focusing on his left palm.

“Now let’s see how effective my psychic weapon attack, researched over a hundred years, will be.” There was a hint of anticipation in Luo Feng’s eyes. Instantly, complex law inscriptions were engraved into the Star Chart within his palm. Such intricate inscriptions required the use of sixteen stars to be fully manifested.

Sixteen stars—eight faintly glowing with purple halos, eight without.

“Go forth, reveal the power of ‘Lightning Dash’!” With expectation in his eyes, the sixteen stars above Luo Feng’s palm flew upward, connected by countless golden threads, drawing upon the fundamental laws of the universe. Above the icy sea, a colossal Beast God illusion, over a kilometer tall, appeared.

The phantom of the Beast God was indistinct, as if woven from mist, appearing as though it could vanish at any moment. Only its tail was clearly delineated, with overlapping scales forming a kilometer-long appendage that radiated an intangible, overwhelming pressure. The rest of the Beast God’s body seemed as insubstantial as air.

“Haha, this illusion is even worse than the last one. A single breath could destroy it,” the Benthuunder King laughed loudly, though his eyes remained fixed on the tail of the Beast God illusion, sensing its immense threat.

“Go!”

The four dancing chains transformed into four streaks of lightning, rushing toward the Beast God illusion.

“Roar~~~” The Beast God illusion stood in midair. As the four mottled chains approached, the scaled tail, resembling a real Beast God’s, moved.

Whoosh! Boom!

It moved frighteningly fast. The scaled tail almost instantly lashed onto the chains. The other three chains also rushed forward to attack. Yet, under the tail’s strike… all four chains vibrated and twisted, being knocked flying backward.

“Good!” Luo Feng, watching the move’s power with anticipation, immediately showed delight. “It actually managed to counter the Benthuunder King’s attack head-on. Indeed, as long as I fully research psychic weapon techniques to wield the Star Chart, this treasure ‘Star Chart’ won’t disappoint me.”

Dozens of alien powerhouses observing from afar within the Ice Prison, though scattered across various locations, were all utterly stunned.

They had lived in the Ice Prison for countless years. A hundred years was nothing to them. They never expected that a human who, a hundred years ago, could only flee from the White Bone King, could now counter the Benthuunder King head-on.

“Has he reached the strength of the top ten Kings?”

“How could he improve so fast?”

“This is absurd.”

Luo Feng himself knew it wasn’t absurd at all.

Each star in the Star Chart was a treasure. Especially when the sixteen stars were linked by the scroll into a perfect unity, their power amplified through Luo Feng’s secret techniques. Thus, the “Star Chart” could be considered a supreme treasure. Without the scroll integrating them, even a hundred or a thousand stars, scattered and unconnected, would never qualify as a supreme treasure.

“Only by creating peak-level techniques can I truly honor this supreme treasure,” Luo Feng thought joyfully. “However, according to the descriptions, the Benthuunder King’s heavy chains can merge into one, unleashing their ultimate power. And he hasn’t used ‘Time Stop’ yet. I mustn’t be careless.”

Above the Eastern Ice Prison, a figure clad in black armor was slowly flying—it was one of the two subordinates under the Five Titans’ ‘Silver-Eye’.

The black-armored subordinate was searching for the human.

“They said to find the human, but actually, it’s just a way to relax,” the black-armored subordinate had a hint of ease on his face. “That human isn’t easy to find. Might as well take a stroll. Everyone in the Ice Prison knows I’m Silver-Eye’s subordinate. No one dares to touch me. What freedom!”

“Hmm?” The black-armored subordinate suddenly turned his head toward the icy sea. “Energy fluctuations?”

“Let me check it out.” Instantly, the black-armored subordinate teleported.

Swoosh!

He arrived at a high altitude millions of kilometers above the battlefield.

From afar, he saw two figures millions of kilometers away—one large and one small. The large one was the colossal Beast God illusion, and the small one was the Benthuunder King.

“The Benthuunder King is fighting a giant beast. Where did this beast come from? No—Wait!” The black-armored subordinate’s eyes widened as he quickly spotted an even smaller human figure.

“It’s the human.”

“The human is actually here. Yes, that colossal Beast God illusion must be his psychic weapon attack, as the intelligence reports indicated.” The black-armored subordinate was overjoyed. “Haha, I’ve found the human. I’ve made a great contribution. My master will be delighted. I must report this immediately.”

Without hesitation, the black-armored subordinate teleported again, vanishing from above the Eastern Ice Prison and arriving directly at the palace entrance of his master, Silver-Eye, in the Northern Ice Prison.
