Starlight Sky-Rending Blade Appears

The Second Prince snorted coldly, a gleeful glint flashing through his eyes. "Hmph, I’d like to see how much longer he can hold on. It’d be best if Qianshui gets beaten black and blue."

The immortals of the Qianwu Universe Country were also watching the battle closely.

"This battle is crucial. If Luo Wen can defeat Qianshui, his chances of breaking into the top ten will be extremely high," an immortal said slowly with a grave expression.

The Black Dragon Mountain Emperor nodded slightly, but there was not much worry in his eyes. He knew this son-in-law of his far too well.

He had not even brought out his most proficient weapon yet. Clearly, he was highly confident of defeating his opponent.

On the arena, the battle between Qianshui and Luo Wen grew increasingly fierce as it entered its most intense phase.

Qianshui’s attacks were as violent as a raging storm. Seventeen spiritual weapons and two battle blades worked in tandem, forming an impenetrable web of attacks that tightly enveloped Luo Wen.

Relying on the speed of the Duntian Shuttle and the flawless coordination of the Swordfish Formation and Mountain Shield, Luo Wen handled every block with apparent ease.

"Damn it, damn it, what is going on… How is this guy so strong? Just one layer of defense has blocked most of my attacks. Damn it, soul attack—Glazed…"

After several attacks were evaded by Luo Wen, Qianshui grew increasingly anxious. At the same time, he desperately considered his next move. Suddenly, inspiration struck.

A Spiritual Power attack erupted from his mind. In an instant, it became like a sharp blade, plunging directly into Luo Wen’s soul.

But in the next second, a Tower of Void slowly rotated over Luo Wen’s soul, instantly crushing that powerful soul attack into fragments.

"What? A defensive soul secret technique!"

When his move failed, Qianshui was instantly stunned.

What a powerful defensive soul secret technique. His Spiritual Power attack was like a flying dagger, capable of easily piercing into an opponent’s soul and causing agonizing soul pain.

Yet it had unexpectedly been blocked by the Tower of Void.

He had never imagined this.

One had to know that defensive soul secret techniques were even more difficult to cultivate than offensive soul secret techniques.

But while Qianshui was distracted, the speed of his attacks suddenly slowed.

Luo Wen’s gaze sharpened, and determination flashed through his eyes. He decided to stop concealing his strength. The Law of Fire instantly began circulating wildly within him, and the temperature of his ninth-level domain surged dramatically, soaring from seven hundred thousand degrees to one million degrees.

The terrifying heat swept across the entire arena like a surging tsunami. Even the air around the arena was set ablaze, crackling loudly.

Qianshui’s attacks were greatly affected by the terrifying heat. Both their speed and power weakened drastically. His movements became sluggish, and every attack felt as though it were being launched through thick liquid.

"This… the Law of Fire… You’ve actually crossed the threshold into the laws as well!" Qianshui stared at Luo Wen in horror, his eyes filled with shock.

He had never felt such powerful and terrifying law energy. It was as though he was not facing an opponent of the same rank, but a deity who controlled flames.

Those violet flames were unbelievably hot. At a temperature of one million degrees, even his armor was beginning to show signs of melting. The terrifying heat left his mouth dry and his tongue parched.

His combat strength was instantly cut by more than half.

It was not as if he had never fought people who comprehended the Fire Domain before, but the highest temperatures those people could produce were only three hundred thousand to four hundred thousand degrees.

Even at the ninth level, the maximum temperature did not exceed five hundred thousand degrees.

Yet Luo Wen’s ordinary ninth-level domain already reached an astonishing seven hundred thousand to nine hundred thousand degrees.

Now that he had unleashed the origin Law of Fire, the temperature had reached a horrifying one million degrees. That was already the melting point of the Battle Armor he was currently wearing.

"You’re quite impressive. You forced me to use the laws, so you deserve my respect. Unfortunately, you should not have challenged me and lost your chance to advance into the top ten."

Luo Wen spoke calmly. In the next second, he seized the opportunity to counterattack. Empowered by the origin Law of Fire, the Swordfish Formation became even sharper and more powerful.

Golden flames flickered across the swordfish, as though they had been granted life itself, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth.

They shot toward Qianshui like golden lightning, so fast that there was no time to react.

Qianshui’s expression changed dramatically, and he hurriedly swung his battle blades and spiritual weapons to defend himself.

However, before Luo Wen’s overwhelming attack, his defense appeared utterly fragile.

The Swordfish Formation easily broke through his defenses. One swordfish stabbed into his shoulder like a sharp blade. "Ah!" Qianshui cried out miserably in pain as his body flew backward. Blood splattered through the air, raining down in a crimson shower.

"It’s over!" Luo Wen shouted, his voice echoing across the entire arena.

Standing atop the Duntian Shuttle, he charged toward Qianshui like a burning meteor. The Swordfish Formation in his hand glimmered with deadly light, aimed directly at Qianshui’s throat.

Blood gushed from Qianshui’s shoulder and arm, drawing a bleak line of red through the air.

Yet at that life-or-death instant, an unprecedented radiance suddenly burst from his eyes, and the aura around him underwent a complete transformation.

A vigorous yet gentle power surged out from Qianshui’s body. It was the aura of the Law of Wood, carrying the rhythm of life and boundless vitality.

In the blink of an eye, Qianshui’s wounds healed rapidly at a visible rate. Beneath his torn clothing, tender green shoots burst from the ground and grew swiftly. In only moments, his body was wrapped in lush flowers, grass, and trees, like a moving forest.

"Roar!" Qianshui threw back his head and roared. The earlier panic had vanished from his voice, replaced by a resolute determination to stake everything on this.

With his roar, a brand-new domain—the Wood Domain—expanded crazily outward from him.

The Wood Domain brimmed with life. Its dense vitality was almost tangible, while the Gold Law permeated every branch, enhancing the defensive strength of every plant.

The plants became capable of resisting even more intense flames. Within the domain, the fusion of the two domains actually held back Luo Wen’s fire domain.

Luo Wen’s fire domain surged forward, and blazing flames instantly devoured vast stretches of trees. Yet astonishingly, fresh saplings immediately burst from the remains of the burned trees, growing and strengthening at incredible speed as they rapidly filled the gaps destroyed by the flames.

Moreover, every tree emitted waves of golden light, perfectly blocking Luo Wen’s attacks.

The two powerful domains collided, and for a moment, the arena’s atmosphere changed dramatically.

The blazing heat of fire and the vitality of wood contended against each other. The air was filled with scorching heat and damp vapor, producing sizzling sounds.

Qianshui, who had originally been suppressed by Luo Wen to the point of having no ability to fight back, now borrowed the power of the Law of Wood and Gold Law to successfully block Luo Wen’s fire domain. The situation instantly reversed.

"You were actually hiding the Law of Wood as well?"

Luo Wen was briefly surprised.

In the original work, there had not been much description of Qianshui, so Luo Wen knew very little about him.

He only knew that Qianshui was ranked fifth.

Now that he had witnessed Qianshui’s true strength, he realized that this man truly possessed the strength to rank among the top five.

He had actually comprehended two laws and crossed their thresholds.

He indeed had the strength to enter the top ten.

This guy was truly a heaven-blessed genius, and he had even comprehended the exceptionally rare Law of Wood.

Among metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, most people comprehended metal, water, fire, or earth.

Those who comprehended wood were exceedingly rare.

Most of them were Martial Artists suited for plant manipulation, specializing in attacks using vegetation.

Yet Qianshui was a Spiritual Master capable of using wood-element energy. Even Luo Wen found that immensely surprising.

"You really are strong… You’re the first person to force me into such a desperate situation. I originally intended to save this for Death God Boran, but you forced me to reveal it. You have the strength to squeeze into the top ten, but unfortunately, you ran into me."

Qianshui was brimming with confidence. Now that he had revealed his trump card and possessed the power of two laws, he refused to believe he still could not defeat Luo Wen.

At the same time, he was shocked by Luo Wen’s strength. If he had not gone all out just now and stopped concealing his power at the critical moment, he would likely already have suffered a crushing defeat.

He would have lost his qualification to enter the top ten thousand.

Now, he did not dare be careless either. He knew that if he continued hiding his trump cards, he would be leaving his life here and missing his chance to enter the top ten thousand.

In the face of Qianshui’s confident words, Luo Wen remained silent.

Qianshui’s unexpected performance did not make Luo Wen feel any greater pressure.

Instead, the combative instincts in his blood were instantly roused. Filled with fierce fighting intent, he looked at Qianshui and revealed a chilling smile. "Not bad… Now this is fun. Let’s continue."

Seeing that Luo Wen was not afraid in the slightest and had instead revealed such an eager battle-hungry smile, Qianshui could not help but feel uneasy.

Could this guy also be hiding a trump card?

Otherwise, why was he still so calm after Qianshui had revealed two great laws?

But forget it.

He was serious now. No matter what, he had to end this battle quickly. He could not maintain control of two laws for long, and the Law of Wood had only just touched the threshold. He still could not wield it proficiently.

Thus, to end the battle as soon as possible, Qianshui tapped lightly off the ground. His figure flitted like a ghost between the sea of flames and the forest. The two battle blades and seventeen spiritual weapons in his hands once again shone with golden light, resonating with the vigorous power of the Law of Wood around him.

His attacks became sharper and stranger. Every swing of his battle blades unleashed a streak of golden sword energy. Wherever that sword energy passed, space seemed to tear apart. Along its edges, tender green vines coiled like spirit serpents, carrying endless vitality and resilience as they lunged fiercely toward Luo Wen.

Yet excitement gleamed in Luo Wen’s eyes.

He controlled the Duntian Shuttle and weaved nimbly through Qianshui’s web of attacks. The Swordfish Formation and Mountain Shield alternated as he did everything he could to withstand Qianshui’s counterattack.

However, the coordinated power of Qianshui’s two laws was simply too great. Luo Wen gradually began to struggle.

In the audience section of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, waves of astonished cries erupted.

"My god, Qianshui has comprehended two laws? This strength is too terrifying!" one spectator said with a trembling voice, his face full of shock.

"That’s right. Using two laws at the same time—this kind of talent is simply unheard of! Luo Wen is probably in grave danger this time," another spectator agreed, his eyes full of worry.

Everyone in the audience stared fixedly at the arena, their eyes filled with concern.

A master capable of wielding two laws had appeared during the match. This was undoubtedly an enormous challenge.

In the waiting area, Hong and Thor stood side by side, their expressions exceptionally grave.

"Third Brother is in serious trouble this time. Qianshui’s strength exceeds all expectations." Hong frowned deeply.

Thor nodded slightly, staring intently at the arena as he said in a low voice, "Yes. The two laws complement each other, multiplying their power. It will be extremely difficult for Third Brother to win."

Luo Feng stood nearby, his hands clenched into fists until his knuckles turned white. Worry also flickered in his eyes. "Third Brother…"

Brolin, Yao Rao, and Veenina gathered together, their faces full of anxiety.

Brolin’s eyes were slightly red as she murmured, "Luo Wen, you absolutely can’t let anything happen to you. I’m still waiting for you to break into the top ten thousand…"

On the arena, Qianshui’s attacks grew even fiercer. His figure darted back and forth between flames and forest like a streak of golden lightning, too fast for the eye to follow.

Under his control, the seventeen spiritual weapons were like a swarm of crazed hornets, attacking Luo Wen from every tricky angle. Meanwhile, the two battle blades danced through his hands, every slash carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Luo Wen knew clearly that if this continued, he would inevitably be pushed into a hopeless situation.

But now was not the time to keep his trump card hidden.

In the next second, a long blade entirely dark gold in color flew out of space like a meteor and landed steadily in Luo Wen’s hand.

It was the Starlight Sky-Rending Blade!

The blade was 1.2 meters long and formed from 18,500 blade fragments, each fragment flickering with mysterious and dazzling light.

The powers of the Law of Fire and Time Law were engraved upon its body, creating a unique and powerful aura.

When Qianshui saw the Starlight Sky-Rending Blade in Luo Wen’s hand, his expression changed slightly, and caution flashed through his eyes.

"Starlight Sky-Rending Blade… one of the nine great spiritual weapons. You only have the Law of Fire. Can you even wield it?" Qianshui snorted coldly as the battle blades and spiritual weapons in his hands moved again, launching a new wave of attacks at Luo Wen.

The corners of Luo Wen’s mouth lifted slightly. He gently stroked the Starlight Sky-Rending Blade, feeling the surging power transmitted from its body.

"Let me show you the power of the Starlight Sky-Rending Blade!" Luo Wen shouted as the Law of Fire and Time Law within his body began circulating madly.

Violet flames blazed around him, while deep within those flames, a trace of Time Law power quietly stirred.

Luo Wen gripped the Starlight Sky-Rending Blade with both hands and slashed forward fiercely, shouting, "Flame-Time Scattering!"

In an instant, the 18,500 blade fragments of the Starlight Sky-Rending Blade disassembled, transforming into 185,000 flying daggers. Wrapped in scorching flame energy, they shot toward Qianshui in a scattering formation at incredible speed. Wherever the flying daggers passed, space seemed to distort, and even the flow of time became chaotic.
