Chapter 783: Chapter 783

The battle spear swung. Starlight gleamed brilliantly.

In that moment, Luo Wuji seemed to have become an invincible war god, his assault as fierce and unrelenting as a raging storm.

No! Luo Wuji was an invincible war god!

Years ago, upon reaching the realm of Cosmic Radiance, he had charged alone into the battlefield of the alien races. There, he slaughtered over a hundred alien beings single-handedly, forcing even the Cosmic Tyrant to personally intervene in an attempt to end his life.

It was this display of unparalleled strength that caught the eye of the Divine Martial Emperor, who summoned him to the Divine Martial Emperor Palace for special training in preparation for the coming Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War.

At this moment, his battle spear danced amidst countless stars. Each starlight beam shot out like a starlet, slamming into its target at light speed. They seemed capable of shattering stars, but in truth, they were manifestations of his inner spirit secret art, a form of spiritual pressure.

However, if one were to simply regard these stars as mere spiritual pressure or impact, they would be gravely mistaken.

With every sweep of Luo Wuji's spear, starlight would occasionally form, striking out with force. The power contained within each strike was so immense that even within the Astral World, where everything was under control, it could still shatter entire continents.

Especially with Luo Wuji's extensive combat experience. He flawlessly combined the starlight and his spear techniques, making it nearly impossible to distinguish between a physical strike and one fueled by his inner spirit.

Even Li Pin couldn't escape this. And so... he chose to defend with absolute measures, both physically and spiritually.

He formed his fingers into a sword, unleashing beams of sword light. Each Quantum Sword Intent flashed like lightning, ripping through the void as it collided with Luo Wuji's war spear.

He had chosen to strike back against Luo Wujing, completely in line with Luo Wuji's own philosophy—the best defense was good offense.

Li Pin aimed to dismantle all of Luo Wuji's tactics by overwhelming him with sheer force. However, after a brief exchange, the sword intent of Li Pin, already at its peak, was shattered layer by layer.

Despite his vast battle experience and mastery of combat techniques and secret arts through the Illusion Pagoda and the Supreme Ladder, all he had achieved was reaching the level of Cosmic Radiance and the Tyrants.

Compared to the contestants here, who were specially prepared for the competition, he was clearly still a step behind.

In the midst of this fierce battle, Li Pin's thoughts raced, rapidly adapting and learning. With every passing moment, he addressed more and more of his weaknesses.

It didn't take long for the other seasoned contestants to notice his behavior.

"He's using Luo Wuji as a sparring partner and learning from him."

"His strength is clearly inferior to Luo Wuji's, yet he's still using him as a sparring partner? Is he courting death?"

Xuan Chengming remarked, "If he had approached Luo Wuji for advice at the start, maybe Luo Wuji, seeing that he's competing in the Prodigy Competition, would have been willing to help.

"But now, to provoke Luo Wuji, and us, and use him as a sparring partner? Does he really think Luo Wujing will keep going along with it? Just watch, this fight will end soon."

Someone else speculated, Could it be... that he wants Luo Wuji to go all out during the sparring?

He felt this possibility was slim.

But as Xuan Chengming had guessed, those watching from the Divine Martial Battlefield noticed a shift in Luo Wuji's eyes as he realized Li Pin was treating him like a sparring partner.

In the next instant, even brighter starlight erupted from Luo Wujing, spinning at an incredible speed.

The spectators could barely distinguish whether this starlight was real energy spilling out or merely a projection of his inner spirit.

As the stars shone and swirled, the area where Li Pin and Luo Wuji stood in the Divine Martial Battlefield transformed into a dazzling starry river. This river-like field immediately amplified Luo Wuji's power to a whole new level.

What had already felt like an overwhelming storm, suffocating in its intensity, suddenly became several times more powerful.

Amidst the haze, Li Pin felt as though he were trapped in an endless starry river, with every star resembling the sharpest blade, capable of easily ending his life. There was no escape, no hiding, no evading.

Even at this moment, Luo Wuji showed no signs of joy at his impending victory. Instead, his mental strength, thoughts, and battle spirit surged to unprecedented heights. To some extent, he had surpassed his limits, reaching the peak of his power.

As Li Pin grew stronger under pressure, Luo Wuji, having witnessed Zi Zaitian's defeat at Li Pin's hands through some mysterious technique, now felt immense spiritual pressure as well.

This pressure, combined with his full-on explosion of power, pushed him to a new level of strength. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the N()velFire.net

After this battle, his power would certainly rise. Surpassing Zi Zaitian, and perhaps even Wu Meng, was no longer a distant dream. He was now on the path to approaching the level of Yan Sheng and the others.

The Divine Martial Emperor, deeply familiar with the contestants' abilities, immediately sensed this subtle shift in Luo Wuji's aura. "This power..."

He couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise.

As expected, he thought.

The words he had spoken earlier had indeed inspired the contestants, and Li Pin, this "catfish," had truly played his part.

The mere fact that he had managed to push Luo Wuji's battle power, which had been stagnant for over a thousand years, to break through once more already made today's arrangement a resounding success.

Almost at the same time that the Divine Martial Emperor’s face showed joy, Li Pin drew his sword.

The sharp sound of the blade being unsheathed was followed by a resonant, piercing sword chant that soared into the heavens.

In the instant the sword sliced through the air, everyone simultaneously saw a dazzling array of starlight. It was like a galaxy, like the entire universe. The moment it appeared, it exploded, flooding everyone's inner spirit world with endless brilliance.

Almost all the contestants instinctively thought of one term. Galactic Starburst.

Clearly, they recognized this well-known and widely spread offensive inner spirit secret art.

The brilliant light of the Galactic Starburst carried a massive wave of destructive power, crashing into Luo Wuji's inner spirit world.

But just as this force was about to engulf his inner spirit, it was as though a wall materialized around his inner spirit defenses. It was a high wall, made entirely of starlight.

This wall blocked all the starlight outside, causing the destructive wave that resembled a cosmic explosion to freeze outside the wall, unable to affect his inner spirit.

It was a defense-type Supreme Technique, much like the Transcendent True Form: the Starlight Wall.

Under this technique, Li Pin's Galactic Starburst was easily neutralized.

However, that was never Li Pin's true offensive strategy. His real weapon was the Quantum Sword Intent!

By using the Galactic Starburst... or rather, by exploiting the caution and wariness Luo Wuji and the others felt toward his "unknown" methods, Li Pin bought time to unleash the Quantum Sword Intent with the Ruoxi Sword.

It was still the same Quantum Sword Intent, but there was a noticeable difference when Li Pin unleashed it with a sword versus when he was unarmed.

When unarmed, the power of his Quantum Sword Intent was impressive, but it was clear that, under Luo Wuji's storm-like assault, the power of his intent shattered, crumbling piece by piece.

However, when he drew his sword and reformed the Quantum Sword Intent using the Ruoxi Sword, the sword light radiated with a miraculous power, transforming decay into something divine.

Just as Luo Wuji anticipated Li Pin's counterattack using that mysterious method, ready to block the Galactic Starburst as if facing a grave threat, the Quantum Sword Intent in its Overload state was already activated.

In this instant, the process of material and energy change and explosion seemed to be entirely omitted.

Time and space barriers appeared to be effortlessly broken and erased.

Luo Wuji was still convinced that Li Pin's counterattack was merely the Galactic Starburst. Before he could even react, the Quantum Sword Intent had already completely torn apart the starry domain he had created earlier.

It was as though a single dot of light had entered a dazzling galaxy. In the next moment, the starry sky, where the galaxy once existed, shattered like a mirror struck by a bullet, exploding with a thunderous crash.

All the brilliance, with the "mirror" shattered, faded into darkness, vanishing into nothingness. Yet, the sword light, still carrying its momentum, continued to charge toward Luo Wuji.

Caught off guard by the "bluff," Luo Wuji reacted with astonishing speed. "Break!"

With a low growl, even more dazzling starlight surged into his spear, targeting the Quantum Sword Intent's sharpness and striking with full force.

When the two collided, a visible ripple spread outward, forming blinding starry shockwaves.

This was... energy spiraling out of control.

In his retaliatory roar, Luo Wuji could no longer maintain precise control over every ounce of his power. To break through the Quantum Sword Intent, he had no choice but to unleash an attack that pushed beyond his limits, aiming to destroy it outright.

But the cost was immense. The overwhelming Eternal Oblivion Force surged uncontrollably, flooding back into his body.

His pupils dilated sharply at the sight.

Yet at this point, all he could do was grit his teeth and push forward. With unstoppable momentum, he thrust his spear, determined to tear through the Quantum Sword Intent and turn the tide with a counterattack.

However, this new wave of Quantum Sword Intent was far more refined than before.

Its transformation of matter and energy was so precise and intricate that Luo Wuji, in a daze, felt as if he were facing a Supreme. It was as though this being was manipulating simple matter and energy to launch a devastating strike.

By the time he poured his strength into breaking the sword intent apart, Li Pin had already prepared the second wave.

This time, without the shielding or dampening effect of the starlight domain, Luo Wuji couldn't react in time.

The sword light descended at a speed that defied time and space. In an instant, he, and the space around him, shattered once more, like glass breaking under invisible pressure.
