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

Chapter 289 The Ice Princess's Strength Should Not Be Underestimated

"My God, this is beyond the level of an ordinary cosmic-level warrior!" "Ador's Pale Extreme is terrifying; it's the ultimate fusion of ice and wind!" "Rowan's response was equally brilliant; his mastery of the Law of Fire is no less than his opponent's mastery of the Law of Ice!"

Luo Feng stood up, his gaze fixed on the arena: "I've never seen Luo Wen use this move before. When did he master this level of application of the Law of Fire?"

Thor was equally surprised: "This must be the result of his breakthrough last night, combining the spatial attributes of the Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade with the laws of fire to create a completely new technique that integrates offense and defense."

"To be able to create such a move at a crucial moment, Rowan's combat talent is indeed not to be underestimated," Hong exclaimed.

The energy clash within the arena lasted for about ten seconds, the two completely different laws of energy canceling each other out, eventually returning to calm. When the fog dissipated, the audience witnessed a shocking scene:
The arena was divided in two: Adolf's side was covered with a thick, crystal-clear layer of ice, while Rowan's side was scorched earth with scattered flames still burning. The two extremes intertwined in the middle, forming a peculiar dividing line.

Even more surprisingly, both warriors were still standing, although their breathing was somewhat disordered, clearly indicating that the fight had consumed a lot of energy.

Adolf took a deep breath, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "Not bad. Few can withstand three seconds of my Pale Extreme, but you not only blocked it, you also counterattacked quite forcefully."

Luo Wen pulled the Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade from the ground; the light on the blade had dimmed considerably, clearly indicating that the technique he had just used had consumed a great deal of energy. "Your fusion of the two laws has indeed reached an extremely high level, but my Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade is no ordinary weapon either."

The two exchanged a smile, both seeing the fighting spirit in each other's eyes. Without another word, they moved simultaneously.

Adol's figure moved like a blue lightning bolt, his ice sword, chillingly sharp, aimed straight for Rowan's throat. This strike was as fast as lightning, yet contained extreme freezing power; it was one of his trump cards.

Luo Wen, on the other hand, turned to the side, and his Starburst Blade drew a beautiful arc from bottom to top, with flames and starlight intertwining on the blade, like a fire dragon soaring into the sky.

The two met again in the center of the arena. The moment their weapons clashed, a deafening metallic clang erupted, accompanied by the sounds of ice cracking and flames exploding. A powerful energy surge radiated outwards from the point of impact, causing the ground to tremble.

"Such speed!" Luo Feng exclaimed in admiration. "Ador's Wind Law is truly remarkable; this speed is almost like teleportation."

"Rowan's reaction was equally astonishing," Thor commented. "He anticipated Adolf's attack trajectory, which allowed him to make such a precise block."

Hong noticed another detail: "Rowan didn't simply defend; he launched a counterattack while blocking. This integrated offensive and defensive fighting style is very suitable for the characteristics of the Starburst Sky-Splitter Blade."

The battle in the arena had reached a fever pitch, with the two figures constantly flashing across the arena. Each exchange was accompanied by a clash of ice and fire, with constant energy fluctuations.

Adol's attacks grew increasingly rapid, his icy blue short sword transforming into streaks of cold light, forming an almost impenetrable net of attacks that enveloped Rowan. Simultaneously, he continuously unleashed ice spikes and wind blades, striking Rowan's vitals from various angles.

Rowan, meanwhile, used the Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade as his core, deploying layers of starburst defense. At the same time, a fire shield formed by the Law of Fire continuously neutralized attacks from the Law of Ice. While defending, he also sought opportunities to counterattack, the Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade occasionally drawing a dangerous trajectory, forcing Ador to be distracted.

The battle between the two had transcended the level of ordinary cosmic-level warriors; it was more like a duel between two immortals who had mastered the fundamental laws. Cheers erupted from the stands, everyone awestruck by this high-level combat.

"These two are probably already close to the immortal level, aren't they?" "The Black Dragon Mountain Empire and the Pale Star System have truly produced two unparalleled geniuses!" "A close match, a truly spectacular contest!"

The battle lasted for nearly half an hour, and both began to show signs of fatigue. Adol's attack frequency decreased, while Rowan's starburst defense was no longer as solid. Clearly, the sustained high-intensity use of the power of laws was taking a heavy toll on both of them.

“It’s time to end this.” Ador suddenly stopped attacking and retreated to a safe distance. “If this continues, we’ll both run out of energy and be unable to continue. How about we deliver one final blow to decide the outcome?”

Rowan nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking."

The atmosphere in the stands instantly became tense, with everyone holding their breath, waiting for the final climax of this exciting duel.

Luo Feng whispered, "In the final blow, both of them will unleash their ultimate moves; this strike will determine the victor."

Thor and Hong both kept their eyes glued to the arena, not daring to be distracted for even a moment. They both knew that the next moment would be crucial to the entire match.

Adol took a deep breath, and the chill around him reached its peak. The falling air was no longer filled with snowflakes, but with glistening ice crystals. His ice-blue short sword became as transparent as crystal, yet it exuded a chilling aura.

"The ultimate technique of the Pale Galaxy—Freezing All Things!"

Adol's figure transformed into a streak of blue light, moving at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye. His short sword, imbued with the ultimate fusion of wind and ice, aimed directly at Luo Wen's heart. This strike combined all his understanding of the laws and his combat skills, its power approaching that of an immortal-level all-out attack.

Faced with such a fierce attack, Rowan remained completely calm. He stood still, slowly raising the Starburst Blade in his hand, the starlight halo on the blade gradually condensing, while the energy of the Law of Fire continuously flowed into it.

"Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade - Fiery Starfall!"

Just as Adol was about to approach, Rowan suddenly slashed out with his sword. This seemingly simple strike contained the spatial cutting power of the Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade and the extreme high temperature of the Law of Fire. The two powers were perfectly fused together, forming a scorching spatial rift that met Adol head-on.

The two fighters clashed in the center of the arena, unleashing a blinding flash of light and a deafening explosion. The powerful energy surge even caused the entire protective shield to tremble noticeably, forcing the audience to close their eyes to avoid being injured by the intense light.

When everything calmed down and people opened their eyes again, they were greeted by a scene that shocked everyone:
Adol stood to one side of the arena, his icy blue short sword shattered, and a thin layer of ice covering his right arm, clearly to protect him from the backlash. A shallow gash ran across his chest; though it hadn't actually cut into flesh, his clothing was charred, revealing the protective inner armor beneath.

Luo Wen stood on the other side of the field, still holding the Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade in his hand, but the light on the blade had dimmed to the point of being almost invisible.

"Can I still fight?" Rowan raised the Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade, the flame-like patterns on the blade appearing and disappearing. Although his mental energy was greatly depleted, his eyes remained bright.

Adol took a deep breath, and the shattered fragments of the ice-blue short sword floated in front of him, beginning to slowly reassemble: "It's still early!" Ice crystals precisely embedded themselves into the cracks in the sword, and in the blink of an eye, the short sword was restored to its original state, its cold light even brighter.

"An interesting ability." Rowan secretly admired it, while at the same time secretly mobilizing the last of his mental energy reserves, preparing to unleash the ultimate strike of the Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade.

"Wind!" Ador suddenly shouted, and the cold air that had been surrounding him suddenly changed, transforming into countless wind blades that were indistinguishable to the naked eye.

"Well done!" A flash of fire appeared in Rowan's eyes, and a thin layer of flame armor instantly ignited on his body.

The wind blades howled in, but Rowan didn't retreat; instead, he advanced, his Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade drawing a perfect arc—"Flame Dragon Piercing the Sky!"

A massive fire dragon roared from the blade, colliding head-on with the wind blades. Wherever the fiery dragon passed, the wind blades vanished into nothingness, but even more wind blades surged in from all directions.

"It's not over yet!" Adol formed hand seals, "Frosty Wind - Extreme Freeze!"

In the audience, Thor's eyes lit up: "That's amazing! He actually perfectly fused the essence of wind and the essence of ice!" Hong nodded: "Indeed, the speed of the cold wind combined with the power of extreme freezing creates a perfect offense and defense. Rowan is in trouble this time."

Luo Feng smiled slightly: "Don't forget, Luo Wen still has a trump card up his sleeve."

On the field, wind blades and icy air intertwined to form a giant net, completely surrounding Rowan. The temperature plummeted, and even the air seemed to freeze.

"Let's end it here." A confident glint flashed in Ador's eyes.

"Is that so?" Rowan suddenly laughed. "Then I'll show you what the ultimate power of fire truly is!"

The Starburst Blade was suddenly raised high, its blade erupting with an unprecedentedly intense light: "Wildfire Spreads, All Things Return to One!"

Instantly, the temperature of the entire battlefield rose sharply. The flames surrounding Rowan were no longer ordinary red, but took on an almost incandescent color.

"This is... an advanced application of the Law of Fire!" a lord from Yanwu Star exclaimed in surprise.

"That kid actually compressed the energy of fire to this extent!" Another powerful figure also showed surprise.

The incandescent flames transformed into countless tiny specks, each containing astonishing energy. These specks rapidly spread, colliding head-on with the frigid winds.

boom!
A deafening explosion rang out, and the entire battlefield was instantly engulfed by a dazzling light.

"What's going on?" The audience closed their eyes; the light was simply too blinding.

As the light faded, the battlefield was revealed to be a tapestry of ice and fire. Adol knelt on the ground, his clothes torn, clearly badly injured. Rowan, though standing, was also panting heavily, the light on his Starburst Blade almost completely extinguished.

"Admit defeat," Rowan said slowly. "You no longer have the strength to fight."

Adolf raised his head, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes: "I...haven't lost yet!"

He abruptly stood up, his entire body suddenly erupting with astonishing cold energy: "Frost Origin - Combustion!"

"He's insane!" exclaimed a powerful ice-elemental cultivator from the stands. "Burning his primal energy, even if he wins, he'll be severely weakened!"

A halo of ice-blue light appeared around Adol, a sign that he had unleashed all the primal ice power within him. The temperature plummeted again, and even the battlefield shield began to frost over.

"Since that's the case..." Rowan took a deep breath and no longer held back, "Fire Law - Bloom!"

boom!
The two terrifying energies collided once more, this time with far greater power than ever before. The entire battlefield trembled violently, and the protective shield groaned under the strain.

"Quickly strengthen the shield!" the referee shouted, and dozens of lord-level powerhouses acted simultaneously, finally confining the fluctuations within the battlefield.

When the dust settled, Adol was seen lying on the ground, completely incapacitated. Rowan, though still standing, was in extremely poor condition; his Starburst Blade had been retracted, and he was swaying precariously.

"The victor is Rowan of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!" the referee announced loudly.

The whole audience suddenly boiled over!

"That was amazing!" "No wonder he's the dark horse of the Genius Battle!" "His use of the Fire Law was simply divine!"

In the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's viewing area, Lord Brolin stood up excitedly: "Well done! Rowan!"

Thor laughed heartily: "I told you, this kid's got some skills!"

Hong praised, "Your comprehension of the Law of Fire has reached a very high level; even I am ashamed of my own inferiority."

Luo Feng smiled and said, "He has indeed improved rapidly. But next time, it's my turn to play."

On the other side, the atmosphere in the viewing area of ​​the Cold Star Empire was somewhat somber.

“Adol has done his best,” the leader of the Cold Star Empire sighed. “We never expected Rowan to be so powerful.”

“Now it’s my turn.” A young woman stood up. She was wearing snow-white armor and holding an ice crystal spear. She was none other than Christine, the second genius of the Cold Star Empire.

On the battlefield, the medical team carried Adolf off the battlefield. Rowan also walked off the battlefield with the help of staff.

"Thank you for your hard work." Luo Feng handed over a bottle of recovery potion. "I'll handle the next match."

Rowan nodded: "Be careful, the Ice Princess's strength should not be underestimated."

In the rest area, Thor excitedly analyzed the battle: "That kid's last move was absolutely brilliant! He compressed the Law of Fire to its limit and then released it like wildfire, combining the explosive power of fire with the mobility of wind!"

Hong added, "Furthermore, his control over telekinetic weapons has reached a new level. The Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade is not merely a weapon, but has become a vessel for the power of laws."

"However, he also expended a great deal of energy," Luo Feng calmly analyzed. "In that battle just now, he had exhausted eighty percent of his mental strength. If Adol hadn't made that desperate gamble at the last moment, the outcome would have been very uncertain."

Rowan walked slowly back to the stands, his forehead still covered in fine beads of sweat. The fierce battle with Ador had left him exhausted, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

"Well done!" Thor was the first to rush over, patting Rowan heavily on the shoulder. "That final move, 'Wildfire,' even got my blood pumping!"

"You flatter me." Rowan took the energy drink Hong handed him and downed it in one gulp. "Ador is indeed very strong. If he hadn't made that desperate gamble by burning his source energy at the last moment, the outcome would have been very uncertain."
