In a rock cave two or three thousand meters underground, Luo Feng, who had been lying flat, finally opened his eyes.
“This transformation only took half an hour altogether,” Luo Feng murmured, glancing at the time on his communication watch. A faint smile surfaced on his soot-covered face. Half an hour ago, he had already been one of the top warriors among the War God circle, yet there were still individuals like ‘Phantom Demon’ Katelan who were stronger than him.
But now!
“Boom!” Luo Feng casually threw a punch, causing the air to explode.
“With just a casual punch of mine now, I can match my previous maximum punch power. My physical strength is at least that of a middle-tier War God, perhaps even a high-tier War God!” Luo Feng could only estimate roughly based on his vague sensations, certain he had reached at least the middle-tier War God level, though whether he had reached the high-tier would require testing with instruments.
His physical strength was uncertain…
But his mental energy was absolutely confirmed.
“War God Peak!”
“A mentalist at the War God Peak!” Luo Feng had no doubt about this. The surging Milky Way within his consciousness sea, the intensity of his mental energy was now vastly stronger than before. Remembering that previously he had barely reached the baseline of ‘high-tier War God’, now with such a massive improvement, he was naturally at the War God Peak!
Powerful!
An indescribably powerful feeling!
“It’s a well-known fact that a mentalist at the War God Peak is an invincible existence among War Gods.” Luo Feng smiled faintly. “Alright, first I should clean myself up, then go see Li Yao, Katelan, and others… and also settle the grudge with Li Yao that has lasted for years.”
Swish!
Luo Feng immediately rushed along the tunnel, leaping onto a protruding rock beside an underground dark river. Using his mental energy, he controlled a huge water sphere floating before him, quickly washing his entire body including his combat suit!
“Time to go!”
In merely three minutes, Luo Feng shot straight up into the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom! He broke through layers of rock, rapidly rushing toward the surface.
…
On the Isle of Mists, the night still lingered, with tendrils of fog curling through the air.
“Pop!” Luo Feng emerged from the soil.
“There’s fighting sounds over there.”
Luo Feng smiled and walked toward the direction, which was exactly where the nine willow trees were. “Didn’t expect that even after half an hour, they haven’t finished cutting down all the willow trees.”
The position where Luo Feng emerged was nearly a kilometer away from the nine willow trees.
However…
On the eerily quiet Fog Island, the explosive sounds from Katelan, Li Yao, and others’ frenzied attacks on the willow-type spirit plants easily guided Luo Feng to their location.
“Oh!” Luo Feng observed carefully.
At this point, eight of the nine willow-type spirit plants had already collapsed, their trunks shattered and their ‘Thousand-Year Willow Heart’ extracted. Only the last Willow King remained! With a trunk diameter exceeding three meters, the Willow King’s main trunk had already been pierced by six spears, which were now stuck deep within.
Hundreds of pale golden willow branches from the Willow King tightly coiled around the six spears.
“Katelan’s six spears are stuck inside the Willow King’s trunk,” Luo Feng observed from afar. After his transformation, his vision had improved significantly, nearly doubling compared to before. “The spears are stuck in the trunk and coiled by pale golden willow branches, making them difficult to pull out.”
Meanwhile, the three Black God Suit users—Katelan, Ivan, and Li Yao—were launching frenzied attacks.
“The Willow King’s main trunk is injured, and its strength has greatly diminished. Quick!” Katelan shouted with blood at the corner of his mouth. With two daggers in hand, he wildly slashed at the pale golden willow branches. The branches’ speed had significantly slowed compared to before, and many had been cut by Katelan. However, there were simply too many branches.
“Break through!” Li Yao shouted.
“Yaaahhh!” Ivan roared furiously like a whirlwind attacking the Willow King, severing countless pale golden willow branches!
The main trunk was injured, and the branches’ speed and binding power had clearly weakened by sixty to seventy percent. Yet their toughness remained!
Even with such a significant reduction, for Katelan, Li Yao, and Ivan, what they needed now was enough time to cut down all the pale golden willow branches! Although these branches were long, once severed, they would leak liquid and their power would diminish greatly, becoming weaker than ordinary willow branches.
“Quick, hurry up.” Katelan’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he urged. “After cutting down the Willow King, we still need to seize other spirit plants.”
“Alright.”
“Understood.”
Li Yao and Ivan were rapidly chopping down the pale golden willow branches one by one, while Kaita patrolled nearby as a lookout… However, under the natural conditions of night and fog, Luo Feng intentionally hiding in the bushes at a distance exceeding two hundred meters was extremely difficult for Kaita to detect.
“Haha, they’re all broken.”
“Haha.”
A chorus of laughter erupted. Despite the large number of pale golden willow branches, they couldn’t withstand the relentless chopping of three high-tier War Gods. Finally, all the pale golden willow branches were severed. The broken cross-sections began to leak liquid, and the injured pale golden willow branches’ power dropped drastically, posing no threat to high-tier War Gods anymore.
“Attack the trunk.”
“Chop!”
Katelan, Li Yao, and Ivan rushed forward furiously.
“Kaita, come over.” Katelan shouted.
“Coming.” The savage giant Kaita also excitedly charged over to help.
The massive Willow King, with a trunk diameter exceeding three meters, was helpless and immobile, left at the mercy of these four humans chopping away! After Katelan pulled out the six spears, he began furiously destroying the trunk through the holes the spears had made, obviously finding it easier to attack from within.
Moreover, with each chop, the trunk’s toughness seemed to be decreasing.
“Shishishi~~” The once lush and leafy willow branches rapidly began to wither, and the Willow King’s trunk quickly lost vitality. This loss of vitality was clearly visible to the naked eye. Along with the loss of vitality, the trunk’s defensive capability visibly weakened.
Boom!
The massive Willow King slowly toppled, its towering form breaking nearby trees and plants as it finally crashed down onto the Fog Island’s surface with a thunderous roar.
“Haha, finally succeeded.”
“Quick, find the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart.” Katelan and the others were ecstatic. The effort they had spent cutting down this Willow King was more than ten times what they had spent destroying the other eight spirit plants combined!
Luo Feng, watching from a distance, had already observed for over ten minutes.
“Tsk tsk…”
“Good thing my transformation only took thirty minutes, allowing me to witness them cutting down the Willow King.” Luo Feng smiled faintly. “Since the people from the Limit Martial Arts Gym haven’t arrived yet, that’s even better!” Luo Feng, who had undergone a transformation deep underground and whose strength had greatly increased, was now eager to test his might.
Continuous booming sounds!
The group was furiously chopping at the Willow King’s trunk.
“Quick, hurry up and find it.” Katelan and others were eager to locate the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart within the trunk.
“Hmm?” Katelan’s mental energy detected an approaching presence, jolting him alert. He swiftly turned his head. A hundred meters away, Luo Feng—clad in combat armor with a shield strapped to his back—emerged leisurely from the nocturnal mist, gripping the Blood Shadow Battle Blade with effortless poise as he advanced toward them.
Kaita, Ivan, and Li Yao also noticed him.
“Luofeng!!!” Li Yao’s eyes flared with ferocity.
“It’s been a while.” Luo Feng smiled at Li Yao.
Katelan looked at Luo Feng and sneered, speaking in awkward Mandarin: “Luofeng? If you had hidden underground with your mentalist abilities, I couldn’t catch you. But you actually came to the surface, how foolish.” The giant bear Kaita and Blood Shadow Ivan beside him also sneered.
The trio of Katelan and his group were no weaker than Li Yao!
With the four of them combined, would they fear Luofeng?
“Did you use the Thousand-Year Willow Heart and suddenly become a high-tier War God-level mentalist?” Katelan scoffed. As a mentalist himself, he naturally understood that mentalists were already extremely rare, and most mentalist talents could only rapidly rise to the high-tier War Captain level.
Reaching the low-tier War God level was already impressive.
Mentalists at the middle-tier War God level were incredibly rare.
As for those who could rapidly ascend to the high-tier War God level in one go, they were few and far between.
And those who could instantly surge to the peak of high-tier War God mentalists? Across the entire Earth, were there one or two such individuals? No one knew.
“Thank you for helping me cut down the Willow King.” Luo Feng smiled faintly. “You’ve saved me a lot of trouble.”
Boom!
In an instant, he transformed into a blur, rushing toward the Willow King.
“Kill!” Katelan coldly barked.
“Luofeng!!!” Li Yao roared, charging forward first with twin blades in hand, his eyes seemingly burning with flames.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Six daggers!
Like six black lightning bolts, they came so fast at close range that even Li Yao himself couldn’t dodge. However, why would Li Yao need to dodge? His entire body was covered in black armor, with only his eyes and nostrils slightly exposed. With his abilities, it was nearly impossible for anyone to hit such tiny gaps.
The Black God Suit!
To pierce through the Black God Suit, even a King-level monster would find it difficult! The only way to kill a War God wearing the Black God Suit was through sheer impact force. Even if one couldn’t pierce the armor, the terrifying force alone could shatter the internal organs of the wearer.
“Boom~~~”
All six daggers struck Li Yao!
Now at the peak of high-tier War God, Luo Feng possessed an unimaginably terrifying strength. In the past, after using Dragon’s Blood, he had tested his throwing power through a punch force testing machine, which showed around 220,000 kilograms of impact force per dagger. Now—each dagger’s impact force exceeded 500,000 kilograms!
Each dagger’s impact force exceeded 500,000 kilograms!
Six daggers!
Combined, they exceeded 3,000,000 kilograms of impact force! Although the advantage of mentalists lay in their unpredictability and the difficulty of defense, reaching the peak of high-tier War God, even in terms of sheer impact force, he had reached an unbelievable level! This was almost equivalent to the strength of a peak War God with 500,000 kilograms of brute force, multiplied sixfold.
“Boom!”
Li Yao was directly blasted off his feet, flying backward at an astonishing speed, colliding with the Blood Shadow Ivan behind him. Mid-air, he flipped several times before crashing hundreds of meters away.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Six lightning-fast, mountain-crushing daggers then slammed into the terrified face of Phantom Demon Katelan, sending him flying backward.
“Hmph!”
Luo Feng landed directly beside the Willow King’s trunk. Six daggers furiously struck the trunk. The vitality-depleted trunk was much weaker in defense and quickly exploded. A green glow with golden threads leaped into the air. Luo Feng’s mental energy instantly coiled around it, pulling it back in front of him.
