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

Chapter 292 The Four Strongest People on Earth!
Rumble!
The entire Star Arena trembled violently, and the protective shield groaned under the strain. It took the combined efforts of hundreds of Lord-level powerhouses to barely stabilize the situation.

When everything settled down, the scene on the battlefield made everyone gasp in shock.

The entire battlefield was divided in two: one half was shrouded in black death energy, barren of everything; the other half was covered by a thick layer of crystal-clear ice.

Carlos knelt on the ground, his scythe broken in two, his black cloak tattered, revealing his pale face. Black blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating a serious injury.

Christina wasn't in much better shape. She knelt on the ice, her magnificent dress torn, her blonde hair disheveled, and her crystal scepter cracked.

"Cough cough..." Carlos struggled to his feet. "Truly... terrifying power."

“You’re no less impressive,” Christina stood up as well. “To be able to wield the laws of death to this extent, you truly deserve to be the top assassin of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.”

The two exchanged a glance and saw respect in each other's eyes.

"The battle is over." The referee appeared between the two. "The winner is Christina, the Ice Queen of the Star River Empire!"

Although both were seriously injured, Christina was clearly in better shape than Carlos. In the final clash, her absolute zero still prevailed.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause. This battle between death and ice was just as exciting as any of the previous matches.

"That was brilliant!" Thor exclaimed excitedly. "The fifth level of the Ice Origin's profound mystery truly lives up to its name!"

“Carlos’s Law of Death is also very strong,” Rowan analyzed. “Especially that move, Return of the Dead. If it weren’t for Christina’s Absolute Zero, I’m afraid few could withstand it.”

"This is the power of a top genius," Hong exclaimed. "Everyone has their own unique skill."

Luo Feng said thoughtfully, "It seems we need to work even harder. The fourth round isn't over yet; it'll be our turn next."

“Yes,” Rowan nodded, “I wonder what kind of opponent we’ll encounter.”

With the battle between Christina and Carlos concluded, the fourth round of matches has come to an end. The host announced that today's matches are temporarily suspended, and the remaining duels will continue tomorrow.

"That was really exciting today," Thor stretched. "But I'm tired too. Let's go eat!"

“We definitely need to replenish our energy,” Rowan nodded. “I know a good restaurant nearby that specializes in the unique cuisines of various star systems.”

The group of four left the Star Arena and arrived at a nearby upscale restaurant. The restaurant was luxuriously decorated, and each private room had its own independent gravity-adjustable system, allowing the environment to be customized to the guests' needs.

"Give us the best private room," Thor said, waving his hand. "It's on me today!"

The waiter respectfully led them to the VIP box on the top floor. Through the holographic floor-to-ceiling windows, they could overlook the entire Starry City at night. Countless aircraft shuttled through the air, and the Starry Arena in the distance was still brightly lit.

"What would you like to order?" Hong looked at the holographic menu. "We have cuisine from over three thousand galaxies."

"Let's start with a few bottles of good wine!" Thor said excitedly, "to celebrate my draw with Saroo today."

"You call that a draw?" Luo Feng laughed. "The referee was clearly afraid you two would tear the arena down, so he forcibly ended the match."

"Haha, that's a draw then!" Thor said nonchalantly. "Come on, have a drink first!"

The four raised their glasses and drank heartily, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

"Speaking of which, it's been quite a while since we left Earth," Rowan suddenly remarked. "I wonder how things are back home."

These words caused the atmosphere to suddenly quiet down. All four of them were from Earth, and although they were now fighting for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, their hearts were always with that blue planet.

“There shouldn’t be any problems,” Hong said. “With the Limitless Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School here, Earth’s defense won’t be an issue.”

“Yes, and before we left, Earth’s overall strength had improved considerably,” Luo Feng added. “All the major base cities had established comprehensive defense systems.”

Thor took a sip of his drink, his eyes slightly unfocused. "Do you remember the first time we met? Back then, Earth was still fighting monsters for survival."

"Back then, who could have imagined that we would now be standing on the cosmic stage, competing with geniuses from various star systems?" Rowan remarked with emotion.

"Speaking of which, Earth's place in the universe is still too low," Hong frowned. "If it weren't for the rise of the four of us, Earth would probably have been divided up by other civilizations long ago."

"Therefore, we must become stronger," Luo Feng said earnestly. "Only by being strong enough can we protect the Earth and our home."

"That's right!" Thor slammed his fist on the table. "After this competition, our strength will definitely have reached a new level. Then, if anyone dares to covet Earth, I'll be the first to object!"

"However, Earth does have many unique characteristics," Rowan said thoughtfully. "The fact that the four of us were able to rise to prominence in such a short time is probably related to Earth's special environment."

“Indeed.” Hong nodded. “Although Earth seems backward in the universe, its environment is particularly suitable for cultivation. Especially the improvement of mental power is much easier there than on other planets.”

“And then there are those ancient ruins,” Luo Feng added. “I always felt that Earth’s history wasn’t that simple.”

As the four chatted, the topic returned to the competition.

“It’ll be the three of us tomorrow,” Luo Feng said. “Luo Wen has already played one match and performed exceptionally well.”

"You flatter me," Rowan said modestly. "I only narrowly won against Adolf."

"Your 'Wildfire Spreads, All Things Return to One' technique is truly powerful," Thor exclaimed. "You've pushed the laws of fire to their absolute limit."

"Luo Feng, are you confident about your fight against Shadow Mord tomorrow?" Hong asked.

"It should be fine." Luo Feng smiled faintly. "Although the Shadow Law is strange, my Metal Law is just the right thing to counter it."

"The Law of Gold?" Rowan exclaimed in surprise. "I thought you majored in the Law of Space."

"The laws of space are too profound; I only have a superficial understanding of them," Luo Feng explained. "As for the laws of metal, I have already comprehended the fourth level."

"The fourth level?" Thor's eyes widened. "You've been hiding it well!"

"And your telekinesis," Hong added, "As far as I know, your telekinesis has reached the limit of the ninth rank of the stellar level."

Luo Feng smiled without saying a word, clearly indicating that he had more cards to play.

As night deepened, the four men were somewhat drunk, but their fighting spirit only intensified.

"Tomorrow, let those so-called geniuses see what the power of Earth is!" Thor raised his glass.

"For the Earth!" the four shouted in unison.

The next morning, the Star Arena was bustling with activity once again.

The remaining matches of the fourth round are about to begin, with the first match being a highly anticipated showdown:
Region 12, Black Dragon Mountain Empire, Luo Feng VS Abyss Empire, Shadow Mord

Luo Feng slowly walked onto the battlefield, his black armor gleaming metallically in the sunlight. A black-patterned sword was slung diagonally across his back, its blade covered in mysterious golden patterns.

"That's the legendary Black Pattern Blade?" someone in the audience exclaimed.

"It is said to be forged from a special metal, capable of perfectly transmitting the power of the Law of Metal."

"Luo Feng, even his weapons are so unique."

Opposite him, Shadow Mord was already in position. He was still dressed in a black bodysuit, making him seem as if he might disappear into the shadows at any moment.

“I’ve heard you’re very strong,” Maud’s voice was deep. “I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Luo Feng remained silent, simply drawing his black-patterned sword slowly. The instant the blade was drawn, a sharp, piercing aura emanated from it. "Begin!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Morde used Shadow Step and disappeared from the spot.

Luo Feng stood still, closed his eyes, and his mental power spread outwards like a tide.

"Found you." He suddenly opened his eyes, and his black-patterned blade slashed out diagonally.

when!
A metallic clang rang out, forcing Mord out of the shadows. His shadow dagger clashed with the black-patterned blade, sparking a shower of fire.

“A quick reaction.” Maud took a few steps back. “But this is just the beginning.”

He formed a hand seal, and the entire battlefield suddenly darkened. Countless shadowy tentacles rose from the ground, coiling towards Luo Feng like living creatures.

"Shadow Binding!"

Luo Feng remained calm and composed. With a slight tremor, the golden patterns on the black-patterned blade suddenly lit up.

"The Law of Gold: Sharpness!"

Golden blade energy shot out from the blade, severing all the shadowy tentacles. The sharpness of the Law of Metal was on full display at this moment.

"You've got some skill." Mord's eyes turned serious. "Then let's try this! Shadow Clone Technique: Hundred Shadows!"

In an instant, hundreds of Mords appeared on the battlefield, each carrying a strong aura of shadow.

"There are many of them, but they're all fake." Luo Feng sneered, his mental power spreading out again.

Using his telekinetic senses, he instantly locked onto Mord's true form. With a swipe of his black-patterned blade, a massive golden blade beam swept out.

"The Law of Gold - Breaking the Army!"

Wherever the blade's light passed, all the clones vanished into nothingness. Mord's true form was forced to reveal itself, desperately dodging the blade's pursuit.

"Damn it!" Mord gritted his teeth, "Shadow Domain!"

The entire battlefield was shrouded in darkness, impenetrable even to sunlight. In this darkness, Mord moved with the ease of a fish in water, his movements as swift as lightning.

“In my domain, you are blind!” Maud’s voice came from all directions.

Luo Feng stood in the darkness, a slight smile on his face: "Is that so? Then you underestimate telekinesis."

His psychic power erupted in full force, scanning the entire area like a radar. No subtle movement escaped his perception.

"Here!" Luo Feng suddenly turned around, his black-patterned blade thrusting straight behind him.

puff!
The blade pierced Maud's shoulder with pinpoint accuracy, and blood splattered.

"How is this possible?" Maud exclaimed in horror. "How could you see me in the dark?"

"Psychic perception is more reliable than sight," Luo Feng said calmly. "Moreover, your Shadow Domain has no suppressive effect on my Law of Metal."

As he spoke, a dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from his body. The power of the Law of Gold was fully released, and he became like a golden sun.

"The Golden Law: Dawn!"

Golden light surged forth like a tidal wave, tearing apart the dark realm. Mord's shadow power was forced to retreat steadily before the golden light.

"Impossible!" Mord roared in despair, "Shadow Law - Soul Devourer!"

He unleashed his strongest attack with all his might, countless shadow powers coalescing into a gigantic black dragon that opened its maw and lunged at Luo Feng.

"It's over." Luo Feng's eyes narrowed, and he raised the black-patterned sword high above his head.

"The Law of Gold, Fourth Level of Profound Technique: Vajra Slash!"

A golden blade of light shot into the sky, transforming into a gigantic Vajra sword. Wherever the blade of light passed, the space itself trembled.

boom!
The Vajra Blade clashed with the Shadow Black Dragon, unleashing a devastating energy surge. The entire battlefield trembled violently.

When everything had settled, Morde lay on the ground with a deep gash in his chest. Luo Feng, however, remained standing, his black-patterned blade gleaming with golden light.

"The victor is Luo Feng of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!"

The entire audience cheered; Luo Feng's performance had shocked everyone. He not only demonstrated the powerful Law of Metal, but also displayed terrifying telekinetic control.

"Luo Feng is getting stronger and stronger." Thor exclaimed from the audience.

"The fourth level of the Law of Metal, combined with the ninth-order psychic power of a stellar level, is indeed terrifying." Hong nodded.

"And he still has a trump card he hasn't used," Rowan said thoughtfully. "In that battle just now, he didn't even use the laws of space."

On the battlefield, Luo Feng sheathed his black-patterned sword and slowly walked off the battlefield. His expression remained calm, as if it had just been an ordinary sparring match.

"Next match: Black Dragon Mountain Empire, Hong vs. Star Empire, Light Knight Leo!"

“My turn.” Hong stood up, exuding an aura as imposing as a mountain.

"Keep it up." Luo Feng patted him on the shoulder.

Hong nodded and strode towards the battlefield. His opponent, Leo, had been waiting for a long time, clad in silver-white armor, wielding the Sword of Light, and radiating a divine glow.

"A Knight of Light?" Hong narrowed his eyes. "Interesting."

The two faced off, and a new battle was about to begin.

At the same time, Luo Feng returned to the audience seats and accepted the energy drink handed to him by Luo Wen.

“Well done,” Rowan laughed.

"It's alright," Luo Feng said modestly. "Mord's Shadow Law is indeed strange. If it weren't for my Metal Law perfectly countering it, it would have taken quite a bit of effort."

"Your telekinetic control is also astonishing," Thor exclaimed. "To be able to precisely lock onto an opponent in complete darkness—that's something most people can't do."

"Thanks to Earth's unique environment," Luo Feng said, "cultivating spiritual power there is indeed twice as effective with half the effort."

The four chatted, but their eyes were all fixed on the battlefield. The battle between Hong and Leo had begun, and the duel between light and earth was equally exciting.

"Looks like today is going to be another exciting day," Rowan remarked.

“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded, “and tomorrow is the fifth round, the opponents will be even stronger.”

"So what?" Thor said confidently. "We're the strongest quartet on Earth!"

The four men exchanged a smile, their eyes burning with fighting spirit.
