That Sword Strike

The three fell silent, while Chen Ao casually took the Virtual Universe Sensor.

"Not bad. This Virtual Universe really is amazing!"

Chen Ao took a deep breath, trying to suppress his excitement.

"Senior, since you have the sensor now, I won't stay any longer!" Luo Feng prepared to leave.

Luo Feng really disliked someone as cryptic and mystical as Chen Ao.

He preferred keeping his feet firmly on the ground, so he and Chen Ao were rather incompatible.

Chen Ao nodded. "Once you inherit your teacher's assets, you can come see me again!"

Luo Feng, who had been about to leave, suddenly stopped.

Even Babata popped straight out. "You-how did you know?"

Chen Ao glanced at the little fellow on Luo Feng's shoulder. "Earth's will told me. As this generation's sage, my purpose is to guide Luo Feng!"

Luo Feng had intended to ask another question, but suddenly felt that asking would be pointless.

Whatever he asked, the answer would be, "Earth told me!"

Hong and Lei opened their mouths, unsure what to say.

Their elder brother's words were as powerful as ever.

Although they did not know the details, it seemed their elder brother had really hit the mark.

They had spent so much time with Luo Feng without ever knowing he had an inheritance waiting for him. How did Chen Ao know?

For a moment, all four stood frozen in place.

Just then, Chen Ao suddenly raised his head and looked above Earth.

"A few little rats have actually come!"

Before Luo Feng and the other two could understand what he meant, Chen Ao suddenly drew a rust-covered longsword from behind his back.

The longsword was covered in rust, its blade so badly corroded that it looked as though it might crumble at any moment.

Yet now, this iron sword, which seemed ready to disintegrate into filings, released energy fluctuations that filled all three with terror.

This...

This...

Luo Feng stood rooted to the spot. He had never imagined Chen Ao could unleash such a powerful sword strike.

Soon, a streak of sword light shot from the rusty blade.

Whoosh!

The sword light hurtled into the sky at a speed far beyond that of sound.

Within a few seconds, everyone heard a tremendous explosion from space above.

With their keen eyesight, the three only then noticed that something had exploded.

"Was that a spaceship? And there were quite a few living beings aboard?"

The three were even more horrified. The sword light from that strike had actually crossed more than a hundred kilometers?

And shattered a spaceship capable of traveling through the universe?

Gulp!

The three swallowed. Just how powerful was he?

Never mind attacking from over a hundred kilometers away-even if they stood right beside a spaceship and hacked at it, they could not inflict the slightest damage.

After all, it was a spaceship capable of traversing the universe!

"Senior, your-your strength?" Luo Feng could not help asking.

He yearned for strength, so despite Chen Ao's constant mystical ramblings, respect still rose in his heart.

This was a true powerhouse.

Even Babata fell silent after witnessing that strike. Surely not even someone at Universe Level 9 could unleash an attack like that?

Moreover, everyone saw that the sword in Chen Ao's hand had completely disintegrated into iron filings.

"Ah, I haven't fought in forty years. I never thought my sword would end up like this!" Chen Ao looked rather sorrowful.

The three remained silent. Even a weapon like that could unleash such a powerful sword strike?

"Brother, just what level has your strength reached?" Hong could not help asking.

Chen Ao smiled. "Don't be surprised. You're still young. You'll become stronger than me someday! The future belongs to young people like you."

He rubbed his head. Although Luo Feng would surpass him sooner or later, he still had room to improve for now.

Luo Feng still could not resist asking, "Are you really at Star Level Nine?"

His Golden Horned Beast had already broken through to Universe Level 1, yet Chen Ao's sword strike still left him feeling immense pressure.

Perhaps if his Golden Horned Beast had been just a little closer, that strike would have cut him to pieces.

"Ah, it's nothing. None of this matters. Once you gain insight into the laws, you'll be able to do it too!"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Before Luo Feng and the other two could react, Babata had already started shrieking.

"How could you have already comprehended the power of laws? Earth having three geniuses who possess domains at the Planetary Level is already an incredible stroke of luck. How could someone who has comprehended the power of laws appear here too?"

Even Babata's voice trembled. Chen Ao was only a native, and he had only cultivated for a few decades.

Yet he had actually comprehended the power of laws?

Someone at Star Level Nine who had comprehended laws would be exceedingly rare even throughout the entire Ganwu Universe Country.

How could someone like that appear on Earth, such an utterly ordinary inhabited planet?

Chen Ao still wore a smile, looking like a kindly priest.

"Babata, there's nothing remarkable about this. Luo Feng and the other two will all comprehend the power of laws someday. Don't underestimate them!"

"I'm not underestimating Luo Feng. I just don't believe an ordinary Earthling like you could comprehend laws!"

That had definitely been the power of the Space Law, and his comprehension was far from shallow. Otherwise, the sword light could never have traveled so far.

A native had cultivated on his own for a few decades and comprehended the Space Law. Babata felt as though his entire worldview was being rewritten.

In truth, Babata's heart was bleeding. Who could understand his pain?

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei remained silent. Although they did not know much about comprehending laws, Chen Ao seemed incredibly powerful.

And he truly was. They had all felt that sword strike just now. Even ten thousand of them charging into it would meet the same end: death.

"I told you, none of this matters. I've simply cultivated longer than you have. You'll all be able to do it someday!"

In truth, all three really would be able to do it.

He was more than a decade older than Hong, the oldest among them, and nearly fifty years older than Luo Feng. How strong would Luo Feng be fifty years from now?

Judging by his highest possible level, he should-should be about one ten-thousandth as strong as me, right?

Mm, assuming I don't improve.

"Luo Feng, I'll be waiting for the moment you receive your inheritance. When that happens, I'll give you something good!"

The inheritance was not much, but Luo Feng would reap substantial gains in the World within a World. Whether he would go there in this lifetime, however, was hard to say.

Luo Feng nodded. If he had doubted Chen Ao's strength before...

Now, after witnessing that sword strike, Luo Feng felt he needed to learn from Chen Ao.

Mm, a slightly unpleasant personality doesn't matter. He's a powerhouse. He's earned that right.

He made up his mind. Once he inherited the assets, he would definitely return and see what Chen Ao had to say.

The three left once more.

Chen Ao could hardly wait to start using the Virtual Universe.

Soon, Chen Ao began searching for lectures by Immortals.

Unfortunately, there were requirements for attending those lectures, and he did not meet them.

Next, he searched for lectures by World Lords, specifically narrowing his search to "space."

If a lecture had nothing to do with the Space Law, it was not what he needed.
