"Want to use softness to overcome hardness?"
The man in silver sneered.
"too naive!"
The totem pillar trembled violently, and the nine golden beams shattered instantly. The sword energy, its momentum undiminished, aimed straight for Luo Feng's throat!
At the critical moment, Luo Feng retreated rapidly.
boom! ! ! !
The collision produced a deafening roar. Luo Feng was blasted hundreds of meters away, crashing heavily onto the bridge surface, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.
The man in silver sheathed his dark gold greatsword and said calmly, "You're already quite good at surviving my attack."
Luo Feng struggled to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his fighting spirit undiminished: "Just a little bit more."
Indeed, it was just a hair's breadth away. If his Heavenly Sword Style had been perfected just a little more, and if his understanding of the laws of space had been just a little deeper, the outcome of this battle might have been different.
"I will come back to the fourth floor."
Luo Feng took a deep look at the man in silver, then committed suicide and left the fourth level of the Nine Heavens Bridge.
The guardian Baffin's voice rang out: "What a pity, you were just a little short. But reaching the fourth level already puts you ahead of the vast majority of people."
Luo Feng smiled slightly. This trial had clearly shown him his shortcomings. His next step was to continue studying the laws of space.
When he returns, he will surely break through to the fourth level in one fell swoop!
Inside Berlan's residence.
Inside the silver-white training room, Berlan sat cross-legged, surrounded by a cold aura.
His eyes were closed, and he was like a sword yet to be drawn, its sharpness concealed, but nonetheless commanding respect.
Suddenly, his AI computer vibrated slightly, and a message arrived—
"Luo Feng, pass through the third level of the Sky Bridge."
Berlan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. They were a pair of eyes as cold as ice, deep and sharp, as if they could see through all illusions.
"The third floor..."
He muttered to himself in a low voice, his tone calm, yet subtly revealing a hint of unease.
He stood up, his tall, slender figure casting a cold, imposing shadow in the training room.
He walked to the window, his gaze piercing through the simulated scene of the virtual universe, as if he could see the figure of the black-haired youth on the Tongtian Bridge.
"Ten years, from the first floor to the third floor..."
Berlan's fingers tightened slightly, his knuckles turning white.
He remembered that during the Genius Battle, Luo Feng, though impressive, was still quite a bit behind him. But now, Luo Feng was approaching the threshold of the fourth level, while he... was only at the fourth level.
"It seems I can't afford to slack off anymore."
A sharp glint flashed in Bolan's eyes, then he turned around and sat back down in the center of the cultivation room.
"I won't let you catch up."
On the other side, Xingchen watched Luo Feng pass the test and was quite satisfied.
Having passed through three levels in ten years, the fourth level is only a hair's breadth away. It shouldn't be long before I can pass through the fourth level of the Nine Heavens Bridge.
"I have already touched the threshold of understanding the essence of the laws of space."
"At this pace."
Xingchen's gaze was deep.
"It might not take that long to surpass Berlan."
"it's time."
A hint of a smile flashed in Xingchen's eyes.
"It's time for me to personally take on a disciple. I can't possibly miss out on Luo Feng as a disciple, hahaha."
Inside Luo Feng's cultivation residence in Chaos City.
Luo Feng sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, his mind still replaying the details of the battle on the fourth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
"Great skill lies in simplicity."
He muttered to himself.
"The power of the fourth level of the Divine Weapon is indeed incomparable to that of the third level."
"However, I have already touched that threshold. Give me another three months, no, perhaps one month, and I will be able to fully grasp the essence of the fourth level!"
He took a deep breath, preparing to continue comprehending the laws of space.
Sudden--
hum!
The surrounding space began to distort without warning!
"what?!"
Luo Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils shrinking sharply. He only felt a blur before his eyes, and the walls of the training room around him vanished like bubbles, and the unchanging gray sky of Chaos City disappeared in an instant!
The next moment, his feet were already stepping into nothingness.
"This is……"
Luo Feng looked around in shock.
Below, there is an endless and vast starry river!
Countless stars, like tiny diamonds, slowly flow through the deep universe, forming a dazzling band of light that stretches across the void.
The light was not dazzling; instead, it carried a gentle quality that calmed the mind.
And above—
"The primordial universe?!"
Luo Feng looked up and saw that the starry sky above was exactly the same as what he had seen outside the initial universe! Countless stars twinkled, galaxies rotated, and he could even clearly see the slowly flowing nebulae in the distance.
But what alarmed him most was the fluctuation of laws within this space…
"So clear, just like the initial universe."
He subconsciously tried to mobilize his primal force, but was horrified to find that the primal force in his body was as if it had solidified and could not be used at all!
"How can it be!"
Chapter 268 Taking Luo Feng as a Disciple
Cold sweat beaded on Luo Feng's forehead. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation since becoming a cosmic-level powerhouse.
"Isn't Chaos City guarded by the strongest human being? Who could bring me out of there silently?"
He forced himself to calm down and scanned his surroundings warily.
"Could it be some kind of cosmic ruler? No... even if it is a cosmic ruler, it is impossible for him to make a move in Chaos City."
"unless……"
A terrible thought popped into his mind.
"Is he a powerhouse above the Universe Venerable?"
Just as Luo Feng was shaken, a gentle voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Do not be nervous."
Luo Feng froze, then turned around abruptly!
A man dressed in a simple white robe stood with his hands behind his back, smiling at him. The man had an ordinary face, yet he gave off an incredibly harmonious feeling, as if he and the starry sky were one.
What shocked Luo Feng the most was that even though he was standing right there, he couldn't "see" the other person's presence at all!
"senior."
Luo Feng suppressed his shock and bowed respectfully.
"I wonder what brings you here, senior? What guidance do you have for me?"
He didn't know who the other person was, but he knew that the other person's strength was beyond his imagination.
Although there was no sense of oppression, the suppression in terms of life level was undeniable; the person before me must be an unparalleled powerhouse!
And he was most likely brought here by the other party.
Xingchen smiled slightly, his gaze seemingly able to see through Luo Feng's soul: "I've been observing you for a long time, Luo Feng."
“From the first day you entered Chaos City, I have seen every bit of progress you have made.”
He walked slowly toward Luo Feng, and with each step he took, faint ripples appeared in the void beneath his feet.
"Ten years, from the first level of the Tongtian Bridge to the threshold of the fourth level. This speed is not fast, but I am very satisfied."
Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat.
"Let me introduce myself first."
Xingchen smiled slightly, his gaze seemingly able to see through Luo Feng's soul: "My real name is Xingchen. You can call me Palace Master Xingchen, or Lord of the Star River."
"Star... Star Palace Master?!"
Luo Feng trembled violently, his pupils suddenly shrinking to the size of pinpoints. He felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart tightly, and even his breath caught in his throat.
Star Palace Master!
One of the most powerful beings in the human race! The founder of the Star Palace! The being who controlled the entire Star Palace!
This is a super being standing at the very top of the entire human race!
Luo Feng quickly bowed deeply: "Junior Luo Feng greets Palace Master!"
His voice trembled slightly from shock, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind: "It's actually the Star Palace Master himself who has descended!"
"How could someone of such stature notice a nobody like me?"
