Marvel: The other side of the double-passing door is Devouring the Stars

Chapter 262 Finally, a worthy opponent!

He shook his arm, and the broken bone shield regenerated, returning to its original state. However, Rowan noticed that the spot where the "Starfire Blade" had cut was faintly glowing red, as if some residual flame energy was hindering the complete restoration of the bone-based laws.

“But,” Deng Long suddenly changed his tone, a ruthless glint in his eyes, “do you think you’re the only one with a trump card?”

Having said that, he crossed his arms over his chest, and the energy of the Bone Laws reached an unprecedented height. His bone mask suddenly shattered, revealing his true face: a face entirely composed of bones, devoid of flesh and blood, with only a pair of eyes burning with eerie blue flames.

"Bone Sea Domain - Dead Souls Devour the Heart!"

As Deng Long finished speaking, the entire arena suddenly transformed into a sea of ​​bones. Countless white bones erupted from the ground, forming terrifying bone dragons, bone snakes, and other monsters that lunged at Luo Wen. At the same time, a powerful mental attack swept towards Luo Wen's consciousness, attempting to directly attack his soul.

This is a powerful move that combines physical and mental attacks, and even a seasoned star-level expert would find it difficult to deal with both types of attacks simultaneously.

In the audience, everyone held their breath for Rowan. The attack range and power of this "Bone Sea Domain - Soul Devouring Heart" had exceeded many people's expectations.

"Can Rowan handle it?" Thor asked, frowning, a hint of worry in his voice.

Hong's expression remained calm: "Don't underestimate him. His mental strength is far greater than you imagine."

Luo Feng nodded in agreement: "Yes, and his Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade isn't an ordinary telekinetic weapon. As one of the nine great telekinetic weapons, it possesses abilities beyond ordinary people's imagination."

On the arena, facing the overwhelming sea of ​​bones and powerful mental attacks, Rowan remained calm. A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of his right hand, he summoned the Starburst Blade back into his grasp.

"Starlight Sky-Splitting Blade, True Form, Activate!"

As Rowan finished speaking, the Starburst Blade underwent an astonishing transformation. What was originally just a blade shimmering with starlight suddenly expanded, transforming into a massive star ring approximately ten meters in diameter. Countless tiny blades were embedded in the star ring, each shimmering with dazzling starlight.

Rowan clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, as if in prayer. The next moment, the enormous star ring suddenly split into thousands of smaller star rings, each of which revolved around Rowan at high speed, forming an indestructible protective shield.

"Starry Domain - Myriad Stars Protect the Body!"

The monsters in the sea of ​​bones were sliced ​​to pieces the moment they came into contact with the star ring, and the powerful mental attack was completely blocked by the special energy emitted by the star ring, unable to affect Rowan in the slightest.

A flicker of shock crossed Deng Long's eyes: "Is this the true power of the nine psychic weapons?"

Rowan didn't respond, but instead continued to strengthen his defenses. The rings of stars revolving around him accelerated, forming a perfect spherical shield that completely enveloped him. From the outside, the sphere resembled a miniature galaxy, with countless stars twinkling within, beautiful and mysterious.

But this was not the end. After completing his defense, Rowan began his counterattack. He unleashed his full mental power, controlling the star rings to spread outwards.

"Starry Domain - Myriad Stars Fall!"

The star rings that had been tightly surrounding him suddenly scattered in all directions, each ring turning into a shooting star that hurtled towards Deng Long.

Seeing this, Deng Long immediately mobilized all his bone-based laws and mental power to form a massive bone wall, attempting to withstand the overwhelming attack. However, the star rings pierced through the bone wall as easily as sharp blades, each piercing unleashing a powerful energy fluctuation that caused significant damage to Deng Long.

"Ah!" Deng Long let out a painful howl as his bone-based laws began to crumble under the powerful attack. Cracks appeared in the bones that made up his body, and the ghostly blue flames dimmed.

Seeing this, Rowan knew that victory was within reach. He gritted his teeth and increased the output of his mental power once again.

"Starlight Sky-Splitting Blade, Ultimate Technique: Galaxy Collapse!"

As his words fell, the star rings that had been aimed at Deng Long suddenly stopped in mid-air, then began to vibrate violently, as if about to explode. The next moment, all the star rings erupted simultaneously, releasing endless starlight and energy, forming a huge energy vortex that completely engulfed Deng Long.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, the energy vortex gradually dissipated. When the dust settled, everyone saw Deng Long lying on the ground. His bone-based laws had completely collapsed, and he had reverted to human form, with blood still flowing from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered serious injuries.

"The match is over! Rowan of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire has won!" the referee announced, his voice tinged with barely concealed shock.

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the audience. Rowan's performance was truly amazing, especially the final "Star River Collapse," which was the first time almost everyone had witnessed such a powerful application of telekinesis.

"Long live Rowan! Long live Rowan!"

"Long live the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!"

"That was absolutely stunning! That 'collapse of the galaxy' was unbelievable!"

A chorus of praises rose and fell, and Rowan became the center of attention at that moment.

Luo Wen walked up to Deng Long and extended his hand: "Your performance was brilliant, especially that 'Bone Sea Domain - Soul Devouring Heart', it was truly impressive."

Deng Long struggled to lift his head, glanced at Luo Wen, then accepted his help and barely managed to stand up: "Compared to your 'Star River Collapse,' my abilities are far inferior. It seems the title of the Nine Great Psychic Weapons is well-deserved."

"I hope we'll have the chance to face each other again," Rowan said sincerely.

Deng Long gave a wry smile: "I'm afraid I won't be so lucky next time. However, today's match was truly beneficial. I will continue to work hard."

Rowan nodded, and then, accompanied by medical personnel, Deng Long left the ring.

Rowan turned and left, but unlike Hong's calm demeanor yesterday, his face was beaming with joy. This victory was significant for him, not only proving his strength but also bringing honor to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Back in the stands, Thor immediately greeted him, patting Rowan on the shoulder forcefully: "Amazing! Kid! That 'Star River Collapse' was absolutely awesome!"

Luo Feng smiled and nodded: "Your control over the Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade is becoming more and more precise. Especially the final 'Collapse of the Galaxy,' the gathering and explosion of energy were handled very well."

"Not at all!" Luo Wen waved modestly and returned to the stands.

at the same time.

Rowan's victory caused quite a stir in the Cosmic Arena. The dazzling and powerful performance of the Starburst Blade made many spectators look at the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's contestants with new respect. On the way back to their suite, the four of them could hear people discussing and praising Rowan all the way.

"That 'collapse of the galaxy' was absolutely stunning!"

"The Black Dragon Mountain Empire's contestants this time are not to be underestimated."

"First, 'Hong' displayed an incredible power of light, and now it's Rowan's Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade."

Rowan lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, but the pride in his eyes was undeniable. Thor walked beside him, a thick arm draped over his shoulder, almost crushing him.

"Not bad, kid!" Thor grinned, his voice booming like thunder. "That so-called White Bone Swordsman couldn't even last three moves against you!"

"It's not that exaggerated," Rowan said modestly. "Deng Long is a formidable opponent; his bone-based laws and telekinesis are perfectly integrated. If I hadn't used 'Star River Collapse' at the last minute, the outcome would have been uncertain."

Hong, walking at the front, overheard their conversation and said calmly, "Don't be overly modest, nor arrogant. Victory is well-deserved, but the road ahead is long."

Luo Feng nodded in agreement: "Hong is right. This is only the second round; we'll face even stronger opponents later. We need to remain vigilant and continue to improve ourselves."

After the four returned to the suite, Thor immediately collapsed onto the sofa, stretching, and said, "Hey, seeing how well you all fought, I'm getting a little itchy to try it out myself!"

Rowan asked curiously, "Thor, who is your opponent?"

Thor narrowed his eyes, a dangerous smile appearing on his face: "Mor, the 'Thunder Commander' of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. It's said this guy is also proficient in the Laws of Thunder, and holds a significant position in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom's military."

“Mohr?” Luo Feng pondered for a moment. “I’ve seen his information in the database. He’s a high-ranking general in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom’s military, with extremely rich battlefield experience. It’s said that he once single-handedly defeated an elite alien force in a battle.”

Hong nodded: "His strength is indeed not to be underestimated. The military of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom has always been renowned throughout the universe for its rigorous training and highly efficient combat capabilities. As one of their senior generals, Mor must have a wealth of combat experience."

Thor waved his hand dismissively: "Who cares about generals or anything like that? In front of me, they're all just targets!"

Rowan, seeing Thor's confident demeanor, couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Thor, it's best to be careful. I've heard that Mor not only possesses mastery of the Laws of Lightning, but also a special domain ability that can amplify his attack and defense."

Thor laughed heartily: "Rowan, are you worried about me? Don't worry, my Ninefold Lightning Domain is no joke! And with my greatsword 'Thunder Severer,' I've got this match in the bag!"

Hong glanced at Thor and said calmly, "Confidence is a good thing, but blind arrogance can be your downfall. Moore is not only a powerful warrior but also an excellent strategist. You need to be fully prepared."

Thor scratched his head, somewhat impatiently: "Alright, alright, I got it. Let's examine this Mor now!"

Luo Feng activated his personal supercomputer and retrieved Mor's information: "Mor, a high-ranking military officer of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, known as the 'Thunder Commander.' He is proficient in the laws of thunder and possesses a special domain ability called 'Thunder Barrier.' His weapon is a pair of thunder hammers, said to be precious treasures bestowed upon him by the Qianwu Universe Kingdom's royal family."

The screen displayed Mor's image: a burly man nearly three meters tall, with skin that shone like metal, and a head bald, covered instead with a thin layer of metallic scales. His eyes were pure silver, without pupils, and looked cold and ruthless. He was clad in heavy armor, covered with intricate patterns—the unique military symbols of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

"This guy looks like a robot," Thor commented, his tone laced with disdain.

Luo Feng shook his head: "Don't be fooled by his appearance. Mor belongs to the Saiyan race, a very ancient fighting race. Their skin does resemble metal, but that's because they contain special minerals that make their physical strength far surpass that of ordinary races. Moreover, the Saiyan race is naturally suited to controlling lightning-type energies."

Thor frowned. "Oh? This opponent seems quite interesting."

Rowan pointed to the two hammers in Moore's hands on the screen: "Is this the legendary 'Thunder Hammers'? They look pretty ordinary."

Hong approached the screen and carefully examined the pair of hammers: "Don't be fooled by appearances. Those hammers are likely made of a special material, capable of perfectly conducting and amplifying lightning energy. Moreover, judging from the patterns on the hammer surfaces, they also possess some kind of special energy storage function."

Thor's eyes lit up: "Ha! Finally, a worthy opponent! I'll see if his lightning laws are stronger, or mine are!"

Luo Feng continued browsing the information: "According to records, Mor was known for his calmness and precision on the battlefield. He never acted impulsively, and every attack was meticulously calculated. This is somewhat contrary to his racial characteristics, as the Saiyan race is usually known for its volatile and warlike nature."

"Calm? Precise?" Thor scoffed. "Then he'd definitely lose his composure when faced with my storm-like attacks!"

Hong shook his head: "Don't underestimate the enemy, Thor. Mor's ability to become a high-ranking general in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom must stem from his exceptional abilities."

Thor stood up and stretched. "Alright, alright, I got it. But speaking of which, the best way to deal with a calm opponent like this is to disrupt their rhythm. My Ninefold Lightning Domain is perfect for that style."

Rowan asked curiously, "Thor, what's so special about your Ninefold Lightning Domain? I've only heard it's incredibly powerful, but I don't know much about the specifics."

Thor grinned, a glint of lightning flashing in his eyes: "Want to know? Then I'll show you!"

After speaking, he clasped his hands together, and his entire body was immediately enveloped in a layer of pale blue electric light. As his aura intensified, the electric light became increasingly dense, eventually forming nine layers of electric light barriers of different colors, from the inside out: pale blue, dark blue, purple, red, gold, green, silver, black, and white.
