Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 56

Luo Feng's expression changed. In just a few breaths, the wild man Rong Jun, whose speed had been increased to the extreme, had already rushed in front of him.

"go to hell!"

Rong Jun gripped the Earth-Splitting Blade and unleashed his self-created secret technique, which contained the fundamental laws of emptiness and earth.

However, the next moment, Luo Feng's figure suddenly multiplied into nine, with a total of nine phantoms appearing in mid-air, each phantom controlling a phantom sword.

"Nine-line flow!"

Upon seeing this scene, everyone exclaimed in surprise. Rong Jun's illusion had already impressed them, but they did not expect Luo Feng to be even more powerful. His comprehension of the spatial origin law required for the second time of "Myriad Threads Flow" was already comparable to that of some world lords.

"Nine Illusions Flow!"

Nine Luo Fengs launched attacks simultaneously in mid-air. Each illusory body could unleash the full power of the Illusion Sword. The nine powers were superimposed according to the secret method of the Nine Lines Flow, unleashing a power far exceeding the first level of the Divine Weapon.

Nine Illusions Style vs. Self-Created Secret Technique!

dang dang...

In just a moment, a series of weapon clashes rang out. Five illusionary swords were blocked, while the other four pierced Rong Jun's body without any hindrance. Even so, the latter still stood upright on the ground.

"Luo Feng wins!"

After a long silence, a burst of applause erupted. Luo Feng had won the battle and secured a spot in the top 1000 of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

However, neither of them, as the two main protagonists in this battle, showed any excitement.

For Luo Feng, although he defeated Rong Jun, he had already used all his strength without holding back. However, this was only a battle within the Qianwu Kingdom.

There are a total of 1008 universe nations in the entire universe, and it is unknown how many Rong Jun are in the other universe nations.

Rong Jun was the same; although he wanted to go to the arena, he didn't want to be defeated and go to the arena.

"Next time, next time..." Rong Jun gripped his sword tightly, his hand trembling slightly, and said through gritted teeth, "I will definitely win."

"One has mastered the Nine-Line Flow, and the other even dared to create his own secret technique at the Stellar level. In previous genius battles, they would even have a chance to compete for the first place in the peak battle."

The high and mighty immortals exclaimed in amazement, "Some ordinary geniuses who win the first place in the competition are probably only at this level, but this kind of strength can't even get the first place in the Qianwu Kingdom."

"The quality of this year's Genius Battle is too high."

……

After the final battle in the arena, the loser's bracket will begin with 9375 high-density round-robin matches.

However, the only human participating in this battle was Hong, and he was in extremely poor condition.

With consciousness fragmented, let alone using the primordial laws of the universe that I had slightly comprehended before, I could hardly even fully unleash the power of my original field of light.

In the first round of the Reincarnation Battle, Hong's opponent was a genius at the eighth level of the Domain Realm. Hong barely managed to hold out for 10 rounds before being defeated.

……

In the twentieth round of the cycle battle, Hong, who suppressed his inner turmoil with all his might, fought his opponent to a draw, but ultimately lost narrowly.

……

In the twenty-fifth match, Hong was easily defeated once again by a powerful expert at the ninth level of the Domain Realm.

……

In the fiftieth match, under prolonged mental pressure, Hong's spirit and will underwent another transformation. During the battle, he comprehended the ninth level of the Light Domain and secured his first victory in the Reincarnation Battle.

……

In the hundredth match, Hong encountered the first genius who had comprehended the fundamental laws and was decisively defeated.

However, it was this very encounter that gave Hong a glimmer of hope.

"Master Lu deliberately divided my mind into two sides, black and white, not simply to temper my mind and will."

Hong seemed to be deep in thought. Extreme pressure can indeed unleash the potential of the mind, but it doesn't have to be this complicated.

Hong, who had long studied ancient texts, instantly understood Lu Yunhe's intention.

The Law of Light is arguably the most unique of the ten laws of the primordial universe. While the other laws point directly to the essence of the universe, only the Law of Light contains two sides to the same coin, exhibiting distinct opposing elements.

Now, with the power of Ultraman's clone, Hong is able to explain the fundamental laws of light through the two opposing perspectives of light and darkness.

"Darkness is also light!"

Hong has truly mastered the fundamental law of light. In the 101st battle, he used an attack containing the fundamental law for the first time and defeated an opponent who had also comprehended the ninth level of the domain.

After Hong's enlightenment crossed the threshold of the fundamental law of light, the two black and white figures that were originally opposed in his inner world began to show signs of merging.

In the 1000th round of the cycle, Hong encountered the female warrior who had eliminated him from the cycle again. She was defeated in the fourth round and fell into the loser's bracket.

"A fateful encounter!"

Hong thought with emotion, but this time, he was able to reliably use attacks that contained the fundamental laws.

Despite the psychological interference, Hong still managed to defeat the female warrior with his silver spear.

After the battle ended, Hong seemed to have achieved a kind of spiritual fulfillment. The black and white minds that had been fighting each other stopped attacking instantly and merged with each other, forming a yin-yang tai chi diagram.

In that instant, Hong felt as if he were in a strange mental state, a state that was both divided and integrated.

The pressure from his mind could no longer interfere with his battle; in fact, it allowed him to actively limit himself and restrict his own strength.

At this moment, Hong understood that the power Lu Yunhe exerted on him could no longer affect him at all, and might even be used against him.

In the ensuing cycle of battles, when encountering weaker opponents, Hongdu would deliberately limit his strength and hone his skills through each fight.

The 7,200th battle of the cycle: Hong vs. Rong Jun.

……

Chapter 94: The Cycle of Reincarnation Ends

"Rongjun!"

Hong stared solemnly at the barbaric wild men opposite him. Since his breakthrough in strength, the entire cycle of battles had become increasingly stress-free for him.

However, among all the opponents he was about to face, only Rong Jun was an enemy he could not defeat no matter how hard he tried.

The gap between the two is too great. Hong has only gone a little further in the fundamental laws of light, but Rong Jun has already crossed the threshold of the superior fundamental laws.

"I heard that you and Luo Feng are both from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. It must be a wonderful place."

The savage Rong Jun held a battle sword, his body naturally exuding the aura of a barbaric overlord.

Because of his previous display of strength and the imposing aura he exuded from thousands of consecutive victories, Rong Jun's aura could easily suppress even those geniuses who had some understanding of the fundamental laws.

Such an imposing aura was like a gentle breeze to Hong, posing no threat whatsoever.

Under Rong Jun's imposing aura, Hong was like an impenetrable egg, revealing no flaw whatsoever.

"Not bad!"

Rong Jun's eyes lit up, and he instantly drew his sword and charged forward, traversing the ten-kilometer-long arena in just a few steps to reach Hong.

"Smash!"

Rong Jun's body glowed with an earthy yellow aura, which he used to enhance his own power while suppressing Hong's movements. Then, he swung his battle blade and smashed it down on Hong in front of him like a staff.

Bang!

Hong raised his spear to block, and the terrifying force vibrated through the weapon, causing his hand to ache and making it difficult to even hold the weapon steady.

"Such ferocious power!"

Hong retreated while constantly dissipating his strength, and only when he truly faced the savage Rong Jun could he truly feel that terrifying pressure.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Sensing Hong's desire to retreat rapidly, Rong Jun roared and strode forward, closing in on his opponent with ferocious speed, his battle sword wielded with overwhelming power.

Meanwhile, facing this relentless onslaught, Hong held his spear tightly, even resorting to various tricky angles to attack Rong Jun while defending.

However, Rong Jun's cultivation level was undeniable. He used only the Earth Origin Law to suppress Hong completely, giving him no chance to breathe.

"This can't go on like this!"

While fending off Rong Jun's attacks, Hong calmly considered the possibility of victory, determined to seize even the slightest chance.

"Not bad!"

At this moment, the wild man Rong Jun seemed to sense Hong's determination, and he swung his battle sword even faster, his aura reaching its peak.

Under Rong Jun's pressure, the black and white Tai Chi diagram in Hong's heart began to spin wildly, as if it were about to shatter.

"break!"

At this moment, Hong, who was fighting Rong Jun, had a look of madness in his eyes. He actually used his body to take the blow directly, while his spear was aimed straight at the opponent's vital point.

Tear!

Hong's chest was ripped open with a deep gash, while Rong Jun's throat was merely scratched by the spear.

"Ha ha!"

Feeling the injuries on his face, Rong Jun couldn't help but burst into laughter, instantly taking a step back.

"Hong, I've remembered your name. Now, unleash your final blow!"

Faced with Rong Jun's words, Hong felt no emotion whatsoever, because the original black and white Tai Chi diagram had exploded due to excessive pressure, and his entire mental world instantly turned gray.

Outside the virtual world, the Ultraman clone, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. He felt that the power he had left in Hong's heart had completely disappeared, and the mental magic he had personally cast had been broken.

"As expected of Hong!"

Ultraman mentally exclaimed in admiration, then continued to immerse himself in the shining light of the soul.

The light that emanated from within him even seemed to transcend the laws of light in the primordial universe, and even the concept of "light," though he was far from being able to grasp it at the moment.

"The heart is boundless!"

On the stage, after breaking through the secret technique of Ultraman's clone, Hong had completely taken control of his mind, and his already extraordinary state of mind was now infused with something new.

Although Hong's strength did not change much in essence due to the transformation of his mindset, he gave people a vague and inexplicable feeling.

Meanwhile, Rong Jun also noticed Hong's change and instantly realized that the other party had grown stronger in the battle, which was what he had always been pursuing.

Without hesitation, Rong Jun raised his knife again, and with a slight movement, two identical figures appeared on the arena.
