Chapter 414: Madness! Savagery!

“Fight! Fight!” The young savage, like a war god in the cosmos, roared with his eyes faintly reddening.

Influenced by his opponent, Luo Feng’s eyes grew colder, his entire being seemingly a ferocious beast constantly restrained and suppressed.

“Clang!”

He drew his blade! And charged!

The savage youth, barefoot, took steps each weighing millions of pounds. The arena, with a diameter of over ten kilometers, trembled violently. In merely two steps, the burly savage youth was already before Luo Feng. His war blade, infused with a yellow-brown energy flow, slashed directly toward Luo Feng.

Luo Feng, riding the Dark Cloud Shuttle, swiftly arced backward, his eyes widening. He squeezed out a single word through clenched teeth: “Kill!”

“Whoosh!”

A golden ray of light shot from the dark-gold long staff behind Luo Feng. The nine golden small swords, with their complex mystical patterns flowing rapidly, emitted golden threads that intertwined to form a complete whole, quickly assembling into a golden phantom sword! Unlike during the preliminary rounds two months ago, Luo Feng now controlled the golden phantom sword far more skillfully.

Boom!

A golden rainbow beam shot toward the savage youth.

“Break!!!” The savage youth’s face twisted in ferocity as he roared and viciously slashed toward the golden beam. Under the yellow-brown energy flow surrounding and suppressing him, the golden beam suddenly changed direction, attempting to evade the slash as a cold gleam flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes.

“Clang!” It seemed as though the beam had narrowly evaded, but the war blade, as if shifting several inches through the air, directly smashed into the golden beam. The golden beam was violently repelled, vibrating violently, as if it were about to disintegrate.

The savage youth also involuntarily took a step back, his large hand loosening its grip on the blade.

“Big brother and second brother were right. This guy’s blade is really heavy. No one has ever managed to nearly shatter my ‘Golden Phantom Sword’ with a single strike,” Luo Feng, remotely controlling the golden phantom sword from midair, thought with a slight change in expression.

“Metal, the ultimate yang and ultimate rigidity?”

The savage youth stuck out his tongue, licking his thick lips, then suddenly threw his head back and roared, clearly exhilarated.

“Wildman!”

“Wildman!”

On the arena battlefield, billions of spectators were infected by the atmosphere, each screaming themselves hoarse.

Inside the arena.

“Die!” Luo Feng, cold and unmoved, let out a cold snort. Instantly, the floating golden phantom sword accelerated again, transforming into a golden sword rainbow and piercing toward the savage youth.

Meanwhile, the roaring savage youth charged forward with large steps.

His footsteps shifted!

His figure moved with eerie evasiveness, unpredictable and rapidly approaching Luo Feng.

“No matter what, I cannot let him get close,” Luo Feng thought, riding the Dark Cloud Shuttle to increase the distance from his opponent.

The golden sword rainbows repeatedly shot toward the savage youth.

“Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!”…

Each direct collision rang out like earth-shaking tremors. Yet the savage youth used the force of each collision to change his direction, rapidly closing in on Luo Feng.

At their level, a single step could cover hundreds or even thousands of meters.

However, Luo Feng couldn’t stay too far away, as controlling his mental energy weapons from a distance became increasingly difficult. This gave the savage youth the opportunity to attack up close! After all, Luo Feng was a ‘Controller,’ excelling in long-range attacks rather than close combat.

“Amazing footwork,” Luo Feng thought as he desperately dodged, narrowly avoiding danger!

Fortunately, his comprehension of the fundamental laws of metal allowed him to use the Dark Cloud Shuttle more effortlessly, making him faster and more agile.

“This Luo Feng is escaping too quickly,” the savage youth thought anxiously. “Normally, I can instantly close in and kill a Controller, but… this Luo Feng rides a mental energy weapon that moves extremely flexibly and swiftly, dodging every single one of my attacks.”

On the arena’s spectator stands, billions of viewers were completely astounded.

These two opponents—one mighty and savage, charging headlong with an eerie gait, seemingly an invincible war god repeatedly chasing after Luo Feng.

The other, like an elegant master, gracefully evading the opponent’s repeated attempts to close in, making the opponent’s efforts futile while simultaneously controlling his mental energy weapon for repeated strikes!

Two completely different styles.

One was a savage warrior!

The other, a long-range destroyer!

“The savage is too strong. If that madman is even slightly slower in dodging, getting hit by a single slash would finish him.”

“That madman is truly strong. Every direct collision inflicts a backlash on the savage’s body, likely already injuring him. If this continues, the savage will definitely be finished.”

Regardless of what the billions of spectators in the arena or the countless star systems watching the broadcast thought, Luo Feng and Rong Jun in the battle understood their opponent’s tenacity.

Lightning-fast exchanges.

They lasted only a minute before stopping. The savage youth stood on the arena, silently staring at Luo Feng in the distance, and Luo Feng also ceased his attacks.

“My hand,” the savage youth frowned, feeling his aching right arm, his right palm already split.

Repeated direct collisions!

Each impact was terrifying. If it were an ordinary genius, a single collision would shatter their arm!

Previously, when Luo Feng used the golden phantom sword, a single strike could break his opponent’s arms. As one of the Nine Divine Weapons, the ‘Yanlong,’ combined with his understanding of the fundamental laws, the attack’s power was terrifying. And the ‘savage’ was famous for his brutal and fierce strikes, each one breaking his opponent’s arms and leaving them dead beyond death.

Two strong individuals, clashing head-on.

Dozens of impacts in a row!

“I can’t keep this up. If I continue like this, my right hand will be ruined,” the savage youth glared at Luo Feng. “I endure the backlash every time, but he is a Mentalist… the backlash doesn’t affect his body at all. I’m at a disadvantage!”

In the sky, Luo Feng, wearing a dark gray battle suit, was also secretly alarmed: “After dozens of full-power strikes, he isn’t even injured. Using Yanlong, each full-power strike consumes a lot of mental energy. After dozens of strikes, my mental energy is already more than half gone.”

In the real world, the ‘Origin Core’ would continuously supply mental energy.

No need to worry about running out of mental energy!

But now, in the virtual universe world, the body was set by the ‘Virtual Universe Company’ so that everyone’s body and mental energy were the same. Although mental energy was constantly being automatically restored to some extent… this kind of restoration belonged to the normal mental energy replenishment speed of a ninth-stage Star-Level Mentalist, which couldn’t compare to the ‘Origin Core’ of the Golden-Horned Beast.

They encountered difficulties.

The savage youth’s right hand was injured, and he dared not continue the head-on clashes.

Luo Feng’s mental energy was more than half gone, and he also dared not keep up the head-on clashes.

What to do?

They held their breath.

The arena fell silent as the two opponents faced each other from a distance. On the arena’s spectator stands, the billions of people also fell silent.

In the Qianwu Universe Nation, billions of universe humans watching the broadcast of this peak showdown were even more anxious, tense, and expectant.

In the virtual universe, on a giant floating island high above the Qianwu Continent, within the tallest building.

Inside this building was a vast hall, the floor made of a peculiar black crystal stone. The stone’s surface was cut into 64 facets, shimmering with a mesmerizing luster, naturally giving the hall an odd aura, making everything seem unreal.

Innumerable thrones were scattered and orderly arranged.

At the front of the hall was a giant screen, currently broadcasting the battle between Luo Feng and Rong Jun.

“The Virtual Universe Company placed these two on Island 00001. These two kids have decent strength. But they probably don’t rank among the top of this generation in our Qianwu Universe Nation, right?”

“This level of strength can’t make the top ten.”

“Maybe around the hundredth place, roughly.”

Scattered across the thrones were some people, male or female, tall or short, old or young, their auras either blazing hot or bone-chilling cold. These ancient beings, with incredibly long lifespans, occupied the highest positions in the Qianwu Universe Nation, casually chatting.

“Boring.”

“Thought there might be some surprises.”

“Same level as previous generations, nothing special.”

These great beings spoke casually.

In the arena.

Luo Feng and the savage youth were silent for only about twenty seconds before breaking the silence. Because the arena battle could last at most five minutes. The longer the fight dragged on… the smaller the battle space became, which would be very disadvantageous for Luo Feng, who needed to constantly dodge and maintain distance.

“You can even block my continuous attacks with Yanlong,” Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed with a hint of madness. “I admire you, so…”

Luo Feng extended his hands, pointing at the savage youth.

Buzz!

A golden ray of light shot from the dark-gold long staff behind Luo Feng, quickly assembling midair. This sight made the entire arena, the countless viewers watching the broadcast, and even some immortal great beings’ eyes light up.

“What?” The savage youth couldn’t hide his shock. “A second golden phantom sword?”

Yes!

A golden phantom sword already floated before Luo Feng, and now, another golden phantom sword assembled midair.

“Success!” Luo Feng gritted his teeth, his face fierce, his consciousness splitting to control both phantom swords, maintaining their existence with all his might.

Yanlong, originally named ‘Ninefold Heaven Yanlong,’ is divided into nine layers when used.

The first layer: Phantom Sword Style

The second layer: Piercing Heaven Style

The first layer is the simplest. Even a Domain Lord without understanding the fundamental laws can forcefully assemble it with strong mental energy. Of course… when mental energy isn’t strong enough, one needs strong consciousness and comprehension of fundamental laws to assemble it.

Luo Feng had already barely managed the first layer, Phantom Sword Style, in reality before the preliminaries!

The second layer, ‘Piercing Heaven Style,’ is hundreds or thousands of times harder!

Because Piercing Heaven Style requires first creating nine golden phantom swords simultaneously, then condensing the nine golden phantom swords into one… forming a ‘golden true sword.’ Unlike the hazy phantom sword… it condenses into a golden true sword just over a foot long. This golden true sword has immense power.

Only then does one have the qualification to be called ‘Piercing Heaven!’

Therefore, Luo Feng had long been trying to create two golden phantom swords, after all… only by creating nine golden phantom swords can one have the qualification to condense the illusory into the real, to execute the ‘Piercing Heaven Style.’

“In reality, I’m merely a seventh-stage Star-Level Mentalist, my mental energy strength isn’t enough to create two phantom swords.”

“But in the virtual universe, my mental energy is at the ninth-stage Star-Level! Much stronger than in reality!”

“My mental energy is stronger than in reality! So I have a better chance of executing it. From the preliminaries until now, over two months of constant hard training and research… before this arena battle, I already had the confidence to create two golden phantom swords.” Luo Feng stared at the savage youth before him and suddenly roared: “Savage! Take this!!!”

Boom! Boom!

Two golden phantom swords, one on the left and one on the right, transformed into two golden sword rainbows, hurtling toward the distant savage youth.
