Chapter 547: The Seventh Floor of the Heaven-Piercing Bridge!

What is Luo Feng’s greatest advantage now?

The combination of the Golden-Horned Beast with 97 Blood-Net Crystals fused into its right claw, the Beast God Statue, the three ancient pictorial projections, and the secret technique “Tearing Heaven and Earth”!

Before stepping into the Blood-Net World, Luo Feng’s greatest strength lay in the synergy between his Mosha Clan clone, the Nine Heavens Chaos Stele, and the “Random Notes on Space-Time.” Naturally, the Mosha Clan clone was perfectly suited for delving into the mysteries of Spatial Laws. At one point, Luo Feng’s grasp of Spatial Laws even eclipsed his mastery of the Golden Essence!

But now, things are different!

The Golden-Horned Beast is the favored child of the Gold Essence of the universe. When unleashing the “Heaven-Rending Claw” through its right claw, its resonance with the cosmic essence increases nearly tenfold! The Golden-Horned Beast already had an abnormally high starting point, and with this tenfold increase, its resonance with the Spatial Laws rivals that of the Mosha Clan clone!

With such profound resonance, how astonishing must be the speed of cultivation of the secret technique “Tearing Heaven and Earth”? After all, this technique was created by the ancestors of the Golden-Horned Beast and is especially suited to it.

The Beast God Statue and the three ancient pictorial projections are indeed profound, but they lack detailed cultivation methods.

On the other hand, “Tearing Heaven and Earth” provides a detailed cultivation process.

Thus, they complement each other!

The Golden-Horned Beast, focusing solely on the “Heaven-Rending Claw” from the “Tearing Heaven and Earth” technique, progresses at an even more astounding rate. Especially in the past few months since acquiring the Beast God Statue, Luo Feng himself has been astonished at the rate of progress.

“My greatest advantage in cultivation is the ‘Heaven-Rending Claw.'”

“In combat, my true advantage lies in the simultaneous use of my mental abilities and martial prowess.” Luo Feng quickly sorted his thoughts. “Since the Mosha Clan clone must cultivate the ‘Phantom Secret Manual,’ then I will coordinate it with the Golden-Horned Beast, focusing on the ‘Burial’ technique from the Seven Cuts of Phantom Shadow.”

“Burial” and the “Heaven-Rending Claw” are somewhat similar in their application of the Laws, which is why “Burial” became the strongest strike of the Mosha Clan clone.

“I engage in close combat with my opponent while simultaneously controlling my mental force weaponry! Previously, when I conquered the Heaven-Piercing Mountain, it was precisely this technique that allowed me to kill two enemies.” Luo Feng mused.

Regarding close combat ability,

Luo Feng could rely solely on a war blade to withstand the minotaur and also resist the ape-man’s mental force weaponry, albeit with slight disadvantage. Previously, when using the fifth form of the Divine Soul Weapon, “Spatial Cutting,” it was directly shattered by the minotaur’s axe strike, only with the sixth form, “A World of My Own,” did he gain the power to suppress the opponent.

“My close combat abilities are somewhat inferior to my mental force weaponry, but not by much.”

“With my recent focus on studying the ‘Burial’ technique, and propelled by the ‘Heaven-Rending Claw,’ my progress will certainly be rapid.” Luo Feng smiled, for when he used the Divine Soul Weapon to fight an opponent evenly, he could then draw the Blood Shadow War Blade and engage in close combat, effectively being two fighters in one!

Just how strong Luo Feng’s close combat abilities have become…

is truly unknown to anyone. Even the “Zhenyan King” still remembers Luo Feng’s performance back in the Chaos City, when he used his blade technique to conquer the Heaven-Piercing Bridge. At that time, his close combat abilities were far inferior to his mental force weaponry.

Time passed swiftly. The most elite cosmic-level geniuses of the human race were preparing for the upcoming Qualification War.

Luo Feng did not dare to relax even for a moment. His Golden-Horned Beast avatar and Mosha Clan avatar immersed themselves in studying the “Heaven-Sundering Claw” and “Burial” respectively. The “Random Notes on Space-Time,” the Nine Heavens Chaos Monument, and the memories of training with the nine Black Hole Pearls—all these elements intertwined and cross-referenced. Any lingering doubts were swiftly resolved by seeking guidance from his mentor, the True Yan King.

“How is Luo Feng progressing so rapidly?”

“Are you sure you can perform this secret technique described in this page of ‘Random Notes on Space-Time’? Show me first,” said the Zhenyan King, watching Luo Feng successfully demonstrate the technique, his eyes widening in disbelief. “This is madness! How can his progress be even faster than when he was in the Blood-Net World?”

The Zhenyan King was astounded.

Luo Feng, however, dared not relax even slightly.

Six months after returning from the Blood-Net World.

In the virtual universe, within the Heaven-Piercing Bridge dimension.

At the center of the beautiful island, the warden Bafen, clad in a black star robe, looked in surprise at Luo Feng, who had appeared out of thin air. “Luo Feng, you haven’t come here since you passed the sixth level. It’s been so many years.”

“That’s right.” Luo Feng nodded with a smile.

“Challenging the seventh level?” Bafen smiled.

“Yes.” Luo Feng nodded.

“You seem very confident,” Bafen chuckled, pointing toward the distance. “The Nine Heavens Heaven-Piercing Bridge is unoccupied now. I wish you luck in passing the seventh level. If you succeed, you will truly surpass Bolan!”

“I believe I can do it.” Luo Feng smiled slightly, then transformed into a streak of light rushing toward the distant Nine Heavens Heaven-Piercing Bridge, swiftly ascending level by level.

The seventh level of the Heaven-Piercing Bridge lies within an endless starry sky.

The bridge extends directly into the cosmos. At the end of the bridge on this seventh level, a small meteorite several kilometers in diameter floats in suspension. Luo Feng, clad in dark red battle armor, stands on the bridge, gazing at the floating meteorite ahead.

“Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, or Illusionist. Defeat him to pass the seventh level,” a hoarse voice emanated from the meteorite.

“Controller!” Luo Feng declared.

Snap!

A piece of stone broke off from the edge of the meteorite, landing on the bridge. As it rolled across the bridge, it transformed into a Controller clad in blue battle armor, wearing a silver mask, riding a dark cloud shuttle, and carrying a dark golden long staff on his back.

“Young man, a ninth-stage cosmic-level warrior, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you,” the blue-clad man’s voice was aged.

“If I had no confidence, I wouldn’t have come,” Luo Feng replied.

“Excellent!”

The blue-clad man, riding the dark cloud shuttle, roared, “Let me see just how much you’ve improved to be so confident.”

Boom!

The dark golden staff on his back shot forth countless golden beams. In an instant, countless golden swords shot in all directions, causing the surrounding world to begin changing. Meanwhile, Luo Feng, standing far away, riding the dark cloud shuttle, his dark golden staff also emitted countless golden beams!

The same movements from both! The surroundings of both transformed.

Boom! Boom!

The vast world was filled only with sword qi. This was the ‘World of Sword,’ the World of Sword formed by the blue-clad man and the World of Sword formed by Luo Feng, directly colliding.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two worlds collided, countless sword qi automatically clashing.

“Your progress is impressive, but your control over the World of Sword is slightly inferior to mine,” the blue-clad man pointed at Luo Feng from afar, “Go!”

Whoosh!

A thin golden sword qi formed in front of the blue-clad man, directly shooting toward Luo Feng.

“Slightly inferior in controlling the World of Sword?” Luo Feng thought with confidence. In fact, two months ago, he had already been able to form a stable World of Sword! He had delayed for two months simply to fully control the World of Sword, even while multitasking, to maintain a stable World of Sword.

The slight inferiority in control was because Luo Feng was multitasking, only partially focusing on controlling the Divine Soul Weapon. Let’s test this.

“Now, I’ll fully focus on controlling the Divine Soul Weapon. If I can win without resorting to close combat, there’s no need to engage directly,” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. The entire surrounding World of Sword rumbled, seemingly growing stronger, directly pressing and colliding with the opposing World of Sword. At the same time, he pointed forward, “Go!”

A thin golden sword qi shot directly toward the distant blue-clad man.

Hiss! Hiss!

The two thin golden sword qi, condensed with the power of the World of Sword, collided directly, annihilating each other.

The further away from the body, the weaker and more difficult the control over the World of Sword becomes, so each time the sword qi was formed right in front of the body, maximizing the power!

“Hiss!”

“Hiss!”

Two more thin golden sword qi collided and were annihilated.

“Blue-clad man, you’re finished.” After testing twice, Luo Feng no longer held back, coldly shouted, then pointed toward the distant blue-clad man.

Whoosh!

A thin golden sword qi shot toward the blue-clad man.

“It’s useless. You should go back and train more. Your strength is close to mine. Train for another three years, and maybe you can suppress me. Train for another ten years, and you might defeat me.” The blue-clad man controlled another thin golden sword qi to block Luo Feng’s attack.

“Hmph.” Luo Feng looked coldly at the blue-clad man.

Whoosh!

The thin golden sword qi controlled by Luo Feng suddenly dodged mid-air, completely avoiding the blue-clad man’s sword qi attack. While evading… it continued toward the blue-clad man.

“What?” The blue-clad man’s face changed, “Then let’s die together!”

Two controllers faced off.

Especially in the ‘World of Sword,’ both were only able to condense one sword qi each at full strength! It was like two people wielding two knives, you strike at me, and I naturally swing my knife to block! This led to mutual strikes. Suppose one person was stronger, blocking the opponent’s strike while simultaneously killing the opponent. That would be considered a success.

But what Luo Feng did now was different. When the opponent struck, Luo Feng did not block at all, directly slashing toward the opponent’s neck.

This was the act of a suicide warrior!

This was… mutual destruction!

“Whoosh!” The thin golden sword qi controlled by Luo Feng instantly reached the blue-clad man’s front. The sword qi’s speed was much faster than the dark cloud shuttle.

“Whoosh.” The thin golden sword qi also reached Luo Feng’s front.

Both faced imminent danger simultaneously.

However, their responses were completely different. A shield appeared in front of the blue-clad man, controlled by his mental force to block.

“Break it!!!”

Luo Feng, holding a shield in one hand and the Blood Shadow War Blade in the other, roared as he slashed the thin golden sword qi with his blade, drawing upon the surrounding spatial pressure and even the power of the World of Sword. The slash was filled with ferocity, incredibly fast, the blade’s edge glowing with a golden light.

Boom!

The impact sent Luo Feng reeling backward several dozen meters, his blood boiling, but the thin golden sword qi had already been shattered.

“Hisss!” “Hisss!” “Hisss!”

Meanwhile, the thin golden sword qi controlled by Luo Feng, swift as lightning, was too fast for the blue-clad man’s shield to keep up. After grazing it twice, the third strike pierced through the blue-clad man’s skull!

The blue-clad man’s corpse fell.

Luo Feng looked at the corpse and softly said, “You have the World of Sword, and so do I. Moreover, my war blade and Divine Soul Weapon are not much different!”

He had passed the seventh level of the Heaven-Piercing Bridge!

“Bolan, I’ve taken the lead.” Luo Feng smiled slightly, then shot straight up toward the eighth level of the Heaven-Piercing Bridge.
