Chapter 955: Accepting the Battle?

Luo Feng had just heard King Chaman and King Lishuo talking about how difficult it was to receive challenge invitations, but in the blink of an eye, the challenge letters he received soared rapidly. In just a moment, the number jumped by hundreds… within a few seconds of flipping through the Black Book, the count had already surpassed 30,000!

“This… this… I just entered the Glory World and opened the Black Book, and the challenge section was empty. This is way too fast,” Luo Feng felt his mind burning from the shocking data.

When Luo Feng had just entered the Glory World, he had set his name, and only then did the identity of ‘Daohe’ truly exist in the Glory World.

Before that…

Even if those alien races wanted to challenge King Daohe, they couldn’t find their target. Now Luo Feng had appeared in the open plaza of the Glory World, and the news spread like wildfire. Naturally, countless beings wanted to test themselves against the legendary human prodigy, ‘King Daohe.’ Moreover, Luo Feng was a ‘Triple Beast God Inheritor,’ and among inheritors, those at the ‘Triple’ level were clearly the most numerous!

The total number of inheritors exceeded hundreds of millions!

Among them, Cosmic Sovereigns were extremely rare, while the inheritors of Eternal Kings still numbered in the hundreds of millions! These geniuses who had cultivated for billions of years had almost all reached the ‘Triple’ level. Many of them had already achieved perfection in the Triple stage and started to comprehend the Fourth stage. For example, Zhenyan King was a Fourth-level inheritor.

Therefore, Triple-level inheritors were the most numerous!

Next were the Fourth-level inheritors!

Then came the Second-level, Fifth-level, Sixth-level, and Seventh-level inheritors!

The ‘Seventh-level inheritors’ represented the level of Tianchi Monarch, nearly reaching the strength of Guardian Beast God. Their numbers were extremely scarce, merely in the dozens.

As for ‘First-level inheritors,’ there were none!

Even newcomers usually had some foundation, so there really wasn’t anyone at the ‘First-level.’

…

King Qianyu, King Lishuo, and King Chaman noticed Luo Feng staring at the Black Book.

“What are you looking at?” King Qianyu shouted.

“Hu.”

Luo Feng turned to face the three friends from the Hong Alliance. Since so many alien races challenging him would soon spread, there was no need to hide. He lowered his voice and said, “I’ve received a lot of challenge letters.”

“A lot?” Both King Lishuo and King Chaman were taken aback.

“How many? A hundred?” King Lishuo started to speak, then immediately realized it was wrong and shook his head, “Daohe, your reputation is just too great. You killed a peak Eternal King while still a World Lord. The inheritors come from countless races across the cosmos, each one a peerless genius. Many of them won’t believe in your strength unless they fight you themselves. Some even want to take this opportunity to humiliate you, the renowned genius known across countless races. So yes, you’ll receive many challenge letters. Since you’ve just entered the Glory World, you might have received thousands.”

King Chaman and King Qianyu looked at Luo Feng.

“It’s already over fifty thousand!” Luo Feng whispered, having already shielded the surrounding area so that sounds from outside could come in, but their voices wouldn’t leak out.

“Fifty thousand?” King Lishuo’s eyes widened.

“Fifty thousand,” King Chaman’s expression became complex in an instant. He had spent an extremely long time on this Crape Myrtle Island, and the total number of battles he had fought didn’t even reach a thousand.

“So quickly, this soon?” King Qianyu was also stunned.

“It seems,” King Chaman said with some disappointment, “I underestimated how determined those annoying alien races are to fight Daohe. Your reputation is just too great, and you’re only a World Lord. In the Glory World, many external treasures and artifacts are unavailable. You’ll be at a disadvantage when it comes to displaying your true strength. They want to fight you for three reasons: one is to test themselves against the famous genius of countless races, two is to beat you up, and three is because they believe their strength surpasses yours.”

Luo Feng glanced at the Black Book again. The number of challenge letters had already exceeded 60,000.

Many formidable extraterrestrial warriors were indeed eager to challenge him.

“King Daohe, you’re a Triple-level inheritor,” King Qianyu continued, “and among all inheritors, Triple and Fourth-level together make up over 99%! Among them, Triple-level inheritors are the most numerous, exceeding 90 million! Even if just 1% of them challenge you, there would be 900,000 challenge letters!”

Luo Feng nodded.

“But you must be careful and not accept challenges lightly,” King Qianyu immediately warned seriously, “In battles within the Glory World, all inheritors use the same divine body, each possessing divine power at ten thousand times the strength of a World Lord! You can customize your appearance and body size, but the divine body’s strength is equal for everyone. Weapons must also be selected from within the Glory World, all of them normal weapons… So all external conditions are equal for every inheritor.”

“All your external treasures, artifacts, and special techniques gained from fortuitous encounters will disappear.”

“Moreover, during battles,” King Qianyu continued, “you can only use fused Laws. In the battle world of the Glory World, any other Laws you use will be ineffective. Only fused Laws can produce any power.”

Luo Feng listened carefully.

“Take Zhu Chong King, for example. He’s a unique lifeform in the universe, but in the Glory World’s battle world, he doesn’t have his extraordinary divine body, terrifying innate secret techniques, or treasures… He becomes ordinary. Back then, even among Triple-level inheritors, he was only slightly above average. When he became a Fourth-level inheritor, he was even ranked below average,” King Qianyu explained.

“Right,” King Chaman also frowned, “Plus, a World Lord’s consciousness is inherently much weaker than an Eternal’s. You’ll be at a disadvantage.”

“King Daohe,” King Lishuo pressed on urgently, “These alien powerhouses are all peerless geniuses from various cosmic races. In terms of secret techniques, many have developed peak martial arts, and some have even created ultimate martial arts! Regarding their comprehension of Laws, there are likely those among Triple-level inheritors who are nearing perfection. As for techniques to amplify divine body power and willpower, these geniuses each possess their own unique methods. Their consciousness and willpower are all of the highest caliber.”

Luo Feng inhaled sharply.

Ultimate martial arts?

Creating peak martial arts had even earned praise from Chaos City Lord. Luo Feng wasn’t surprised that many in this place, which gathered hundreds of millions of peerless geniuses from across the cosmos, could create peak martial arts. But the fact that there were even a few who had created ultimate martial arts truly shocked him. Of course, the ultimate martial arts they created might only be the first few forms, but even that was terrifying.

“The Ancestral God Religion gathered peerless geniuses from countless races across the cosmos. Different races possess distinct innate talents and life essences. Some excel in divine body power, while others boast astonishing innate secret techniques. It’s not surprising that a few freaks could create ‘ultimate martial arts,'” Luo Feng mused to himself, though he had forgotten that in the eyes of countless alien races, he himself was the freak.

“With so many challenge letters, you can’t just accept them randomly. Once you accept, you must fight. You’ll have to keep fighting until all your Glory Points are lost before you can end the challenge,” King Chaman warned solemnly, “You must be careful.”

“Understood,” Luo Feng nodded.

At that moment, some noisy voices came from a distance.

“King Daohe, I, the Iron Demon King of the demon race, challenge you! Do you dare to accept?”

“King Daohe, you name the stakes! Haha, you probably only have 3 Glory Points, right? Let’s bet 3 Glory Points! Dare you?”

“I seriously doubt whether you Daohe King really has that kind of strength. You’re so famous, but I suspect it’s all due to various fortuitous encounters. You probably don’t have any real strength,” various voices spoke in awkward Human Common Tongue, some high-pitched, some shrill, some deep, some like thunder, others raspy with echoes…

In an instant, aliens from all directions of the open plaza were taunting him.

Yes, they were provoking him!

Geniuses?

Each of them was a peerless genius in their own race. In the battle world, where all special means and artifacts were excluded, how could they easily accept a mere World Lord?

…

“Do you think King Daohe will accept the challenge?” A tall, slender figure with nine green leaves on his head, an elegant expert, spoke.

“He might, out of excitement, fight a couple of times foolishly. But once he loses, he’ll understand the strength of these alien experts. There are definitely many challenging him this time. Although we three issued challenges, we probably won’t get the chance. He only has three Glory Points, which will be quickly lost. Once they’re gone, he won’t be able to fight anymore.”

The three figures, with skin showing a mix of green and black, had green leaves on their heads, and their skin resembled tree bark as they conversed.

These were plant-life ‘Fanling Race,’ without gender, born from Fanling Ancestor Trees.

…

The challenges from peerless geniuses of various races indeed ignited Luo Feng’s fighting spirit. However, he remained rational and dared not underestimate these alien geniuses. These were not the mediocre powerhouses he had encountered on the battlefield beyond the borders. Many of them had created pinnacle martial arts, let alone those who had developed ultimate martial arts.

“It’s still rising,” Luo Feng glanced at the number of challenge letters on the opened Black Book, which had already exceeded 100,000.

“King Chaman,” Luo Feng suddenly said.

“Daohe,” King Chaman looked at him.

“I have an idea,” Luo Feng said, “Give me your Virtual Universe ID. I’ll leave the Glory World later and then contact you through the Virtual Universe. How about we spar in the Virtual Universe?”

“Ah, great,” King Chaman’s eyes lit up.

“Smart,” King Lishuo also smiled, “Right, the Virtual Universe. First, spar in the Virtual Universe to get a sense of your strength. Find out roughly where you stand on the Triple-level inheritor ranking. Then choose your opponents accordingly. Count me in. Both King Chaman and I are above average among Triple-level inheritors. Fighting us will help you gauge your level.”

“I’m in too,” King Qianyu quickly said, “I’m part of the Hong Alliance, and I have a Virtual Universe ID.”

“Haha, thank you three very much,” Luo Feng said gratefully.

Receiving so many challenge letters made Luo Feng itch to fight. How could he easily give up? It might be a long time before he received so many challenges again.

…

After obtaining the Virtual Universe IDs of King Lishuo, King Qianyu, and King Chaman, Luo Feng’s consciousness left the Glory World and quickly connected to the Virtual Universe.

In the Virtual Universe, within a training ground in the Hong Alliance City.

The training ground was a vast expanse of continuous mountains. Luo Feng stood on a mountaintop, while on three distant peaks stood three figures—King Qianyu, King Lishuo, and King Chaman.

“Don’t lose too badly, Daohe,” the three inheritors’ eyes burned with fighting spirit.

Long ago, they were once as dazzling as Seven-Sword King and Meng Sui King, but they had been dormant for an extremely long time. However, in terms of strength, they had only become stronger!
