Chapter 141 A Cosmic-Level Peak Defeats a First-Order Apprentice?
Luo Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and absurdity in his heart.
He had heard of fighting across ranks, but he had never heard of an apprentice-level being able to defeat a ninth-rank cosmic-level being.
Because the difference between the two is trillions of times, unimaginably large!
However, Lord Xu Qing's words were by no means unfounded. Even if they sounded like a joke, Luo Feng had to take them very seriously.
"Please forgive my rudeness."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Feng's eyes suddenly blazed with fighting spirit.
Eighty-one sword shadows swirled around, and the nine golden swords transformed from the Divine Weapon instantly swelled, the sharpness of the golden law tearing through the air—this was the peak form of the third level of the Divine Weapon, the "Heavenly Sword Style"!
"Hundred-line flow!"
Hundreds of afterimages stepped out simultaneously, each carrying real killing intent and energy fluctuations, sealing off all of Xu Qing's escape space from all directions.
The next moment, the nine solidified golden swords merged with the eighty-one illusory figures, transforming into a golden torrent that pierced through the heavens and earth, carrying a power capable of destroying a continent and making even a cosmic-level giant axe warrior change color, and fiercely stabbed towards Xu Qing!
This sword strike represents the pinnacle that Luo Feng can currently achieve!
If it fell into Earth's oceans, it would be enough to cause continental drift! Enough to cause tsunamis that sweep across the entire surface! Enough to destroy a planet's civilization!
This is a ninth-order cosmic-level being! Enough to rule an entire galaxy!
Xu Qing seemed oblivious to the scene of destruction before him, not even lifting his eyelids.
However, just as that earth-shattering power touched the area within a hundred meters of Xu Qing, Xu Qing still smiled as he looked at Luo Feng's sword strike.
For some reason, the moment Luo Feng saw that smile, he suddenly felt time stretch out infinitely, and his consciousness was abruptly pulled into a strange space-time.
The sword's momentum in his eyes was as slow as if it were sinking into the core of a neutron star; every inch forward felt incredibly heavy, as if it were exhausting his entire spirit.
The flow of time seems to be infinitely extended, turning an instant into eternity.
The speed of thought is constantly accelerating, reaching nanosecond and picosecond levels...
At this moment, even the speed of light seemed to slow down in Luo Feng's eyes.
In a nanosecond, light can only move 30 centimeters, while in a picosecond, a light particle can only advance 0.3 millimeters.
The whole world seemed to have been put on pause.
The countless photons and cosmic rays in the sky condensed into still bands of light in his eyes, their trajectories so clear that he could count every bend and turn.
"Is it Lord Xu Qing's spirit that has influenced me?!" Luo Feng's heart trembled violently, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
In this almost still space and time, the world as seen by Xu Qing is completely different from what Luo Feng sees.
All matter is dissected layer by layer in the field of vision: from molecules to atoms, from atomic nuclei, electrons, protons to quarks, and even to the neutrinos that make up these fundamental particles; the microscopic scale seems endless.
In the end, even the microparticles were crossed, and the entire spacetime was transformed in his eyes into the most basic spatial particle form, like grains of sand.
From the macroscopic gravitational influence of the entire solar system, various planets, countless dust particles, and countless substances, to the most basic particles of spacetime, all changes within sight are as clear as the lines on the palm of your hand.
In his eyes, the whistling golden sword was no longer a physical object, but an aggregate of countless particles moving at high speed.
Every particle that makes up the sword is clearly visible, and the interaction forces between them are clearly visible.
Deeper still, the flow of time seemed to be infinitely slowed down in his perception. Every bit of energy transmitted by the golden torrent, every trajectory of the superposition of laws, unfolded before his eyes like a slow-motion video.
The countless possible futures arising from the collisions and interactions of countless particles are all circulating in his deductions.
Within that seemingly flawless sword technique, due to Luo Feng's forceful activation of laws that surpassed his own life level, a barely perceptible stagnation appeared at the point of energy flow.
It was a flaw that approached the level of neutrinos, so subtle that even an immortal powerhouse would find it difficult to detect, even if spacetime were frozen. Yet, in Xu Qing's vision, which had been dissected to the level of spacetime particles, it was as conspicuous as a torch in the night.
"This is it."
Xu Qing's heart stirred slightly, but the mental power he mobilized did not even exceed one thousand kilograms.
In Luo Feng's eyes, that bit of mental power was extremely slow, almost like a snail crawling. It had neither an energy burst nor a law fluctuation, and it didn't even reach the power standard of an apprentice.
Just as his mental power was about to touch the golden torrent, Xu Qing's mental power seemed to get stuck at that point of energy stagnation.
Instead of resisting the earth-shattering impact, he gently guided the golden torrent along its original trajectory in an almost "compliant" manner.
This tiny change in power is like inserting a perfectly placed ball bearing into a high-speed gear set.
Luo Feng felt an irresistible, strange force emanating from the depths of the sword flow. The power he had gathered and the distortion of space seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, instantly deviating from their original trajectory.
Even more terrifying, the enormous energy he had poured into the sword flow seemed to have found an outlet, and it suddenly backfired in the direction Xu Qing was guiding!
"How is that possible?!"
Luo Feng was shocked, his pupils contracted sharply, and he tried to retract his power, but it was too late.
The golden sword he controlled, the golden torrent powerful enough to tear the sky and split the earth, was like the Milky Way turning upside down, crashing towards himself behind him with unstoppable force!
"Boom!!!"
Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the canyon stretching for thousands of miles was instantly leveled, and an area with a diameter of several thousand kilometers was transformed into a molten sea of fire.
The shockwave shattered Mars' thin atmosphere, sending up a column of dust that shot straight into the sky, even momentarily freezing Mars' rotation and creating a deafening tremor!
An incredibly intense light burst forth, illuminating half of Mars.
In just over ten minutes, half the world will see that Mars, which was originally dim, suddenly becomes as bright as day, as if a second sun has risen in the sky.
In this light that could illuminate a planet, in this power that could obliterate an eighth-order cosmic being, amidst countless boulders, Luo Feng stood perfectly unharmed in the center.
His eyes were filled with horror and bewilderment. He looked down at his hands, and what came from his fingertips was not the soreness and numbness of exhaustion, but a sense of emptiness as if his soul had been emptied.
With his hands still gripping the Divine Weapon, still capable of unleashing the power to tear apart continents and destroy planetary civilizations, Luo Feng couldn't even muster the slightest thought of fighting again.
The backlash grazed the tip of his nose but didn't even burn a strand of his hair.
This is incredible! Not only did he reverse Luo Feng's peak cosmic-level power with the strength of a first-level apprentice, but even this step was within Xu Qing's calculations?
Luo Feng asked blankly:
"Lord Xu Qing's power can reach such a subtle level? This—how is this possible—."
He lost.
The defeat was inexplicable and utterly devastating.
