Chapter 23

Consecutive Victories

Wu Qingfeng looked at the second opponent appearing in the distance, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "Another one to give away Glory Points, bring it on."

The battle continues to unfold on the desert battlefield of the world of Glory.

Yellow sand swirled in the air, and the scorching wind whipped up the sand and lashed against the virtual divine body. Each collision stirred up a cloud of sand and mist, and the distorted fluctuations of spacetime and the roar of colliding laws intertwined, echoing for a long time in the vast desert.

Meanwhile, the open-air plaza of the Glory World was already in an uproar. Tens of millions of inheritors from all over the universe connected their consciousness to the Glory World, and everyone received the news that the human Heart Illusion Realm Lord, who had reached the fourth level of inheritance as a Realm Lord, had begun a series of uninterrupted battles.

"What? You actually lost to the Lord of the Heart Illusion Realm? He's just a Realm Lord, without any supreme treasures to buff him in the battle world. You, a veteran invincible King, actually lost?" In one alien group, a powerful figure covered in black armor pointed at his companion and angrily rebuked him, his tone full of disbelief and sneer. "Hahahaha, what a piece of trash! Luckily, the Lord of the Heart Illusion King hasn't run out of Glory Points so quickly. When it's my turn, I'll definitely crush him and let him know the power of our Stone Clan's Kings!" In another group, a powerful figure with a rocky body laughed arrogantly, his eyes full of disdain, but deep in his eyes, there was a trace of barely perceptible vigilance.

Initially, the alien kings who suffered consecutive defeats against the Heart Illusion Realm Lord were ridiculed by their companions within their respective factions. Despite the constant mockery, the other inheritors gradually became wary—they knew their companions' strength; a king who could enter the fourth level of inheritance and become invincible was no ordinary person, possessing the combat power of a newly entered Venerable. To be defeated repeatedly by a Realm Lord was enough to demonstrate that the Heart Illusion Realm Lord's strength far exceeded the rumors.

However, the open-air plaza of the Glory World was simply too vast. Nearly a hundred million inheritors were divided into hundreds or thousands of distinct groups, with limited communication among them. The news of the initial failures of those few to be crowned kings only spread within their respective small circles. The vast majority of inheritors were still unaware that a genius capable of overturning their understanding was sweeping everything in the battle world.

Wu Qingfeng's fighting pace was astonishingly fast. In the battle world, after each battle, both sides' divine bodies would instantly recover completely, requiring no rest or recuperation. He didn't pause at all, engaging in battle after battle. In one breath, he fought 1000 consecutive battles! The entire battle only took half a day. Only when he sensed slight fatigue in his consciousness did he temporarily stop fighting and choose to exit the Glory World to rest.

"1000 battles, each real fight takes less than 10 seconds. It's the startup process of the battle world and the nonsense we talk about that waste some time." Wu Qingfeng stood in front of his desert residence on Zijing Island, looking at the endless yellow sand, and thought to himself.

"Heart Illusion King! Heart Illusion King!" A clear shout came from the edge of the desert, interrupting Wu Qingfeng's thoughts.

Having just left the world of Glory and preparing to rest, he recognized the voices as belonging to King Qianyu and King Chaman. With a slight movement, he appeared at the entrance of his residence. Two figures stood at the door.

Besides King Qianyu and King Chaman, there was also a powerful human dressed in white, wielding a long sword—"King Jinjian?" Wu Qingfeng was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected King Jinjian to come along. King Jinjian was also a renowned invincible king among humans, having once escaped from the clutches of a high-level cosmic venerable. His strength was undoubtedly among the top of the invincible kings. It was somewhat unexpected that he would take the initiative to come to his door.

The Golden Sword King scrutinized the Heart Illusion King with intense eyes; this was the first time he had seriously observed this human genius renowned throughout the universe. Wu Qingfeng appeared unremarkable, yet his eyes were as deep as a cosmic pool, concealing an incomparably terrifying mental power—absolute confidence born of supreme willpower, unwavering resolve honed through trials, and a touch of domineering authority emanating from him without anger. This aura was not something ordinary geniuses possessed; even those who had reached the Kingly Invincible realm could hardly match it.

The Heart Illusion King no longer concealed his brilliance. Since becoming a disciple of the Lord of Darkness and acquiring a supreme treasure and displaying his talent within the Ancestral God Sect, he had no more worries. True gold fears no fire; only through constant tempering could he elevate his understanding of the laws and his combat skills to a higher level.

"Golden Sword King, I didn't expect you to be here too." Wu Qingfeng smiled slightly, his tone calm. "But why are you suddenly calling me Heart Illusion King? I'm still the Realm Lord."

"I only caught a fleeting glimpse of you in the plaza before and didn't have a chance to speak with you in depth. Today, I heard that you've had a series of amazing battles, so I've come to pay you a visit." The Golden Sword King also put away his usual aloofness and said with a smile, "As for the title 'Heart Illusion King,' it's naturally because your strength far surpasses that of a king, and you've used many soul illusion techniques in your battles, which are extremely powerful. We'll just use the title 'Heart Illusion King' based on your reputation in the Glory Plaza."

"Welcome." Wu Qingfeng stepped aside to make way, gesturing for the three of you to come in.

"Haha, I knew King Xinhuan was easy to get along with!" King Qianyu laughed and took the lead, followed closely by King Chaman, who remained calm. King Jinjian nodded slightly and entered the residence with King Xinhuan.

The residence was simply furnished, yet exuded a minimalist yet grand style. King Xinhuan sat in the main seat, surrounded by King Jinjian, King Qianyu, and King Chaman, their gazes all fixed on him. "Xinhuan, just how many challenges have you accepted?" King Chaman spoke first, his tone tinged with urgency. He was genuinely curious about the confidence this human genius possessed, daring to accept challenges from countless alien races.

"I've accepted every challenge that has been sent to me," King Xinhuan said calmly, as if he had only done something insignificant. King Qianyu and King Jinjian were both slightly startled, their faces showing disbelief. King Qianyu quickly said, "When you first entered the Glory World, you received tens of thousands of challenge letters. After the news spread, the number of challengers must have increased even more! Now, the alien races in the Glory World are all talking about how you've probably accepted more than 100,000 challenges. After all, there are too many inheritors and the forces are too complex to count immediately, but the exact number will be available in a few days."

Wu Qingfeng smiled slightly and slowly said, "That's right. When I first entered the Glory World, I didn't receive many challenge letters, but later the number increased, reaching over 15 in total. This wasn't too unexpected; the total number of fourth-level inheritors is close to ten million, so 15 challenge letters isn't a lot." "15?" King Chaman couldn't help but exclaim in shock, his composure completely vanishing, replaced by utter astonishment. "You actually accepted 15 challenge letters? I've endured countless years in this Glory World, and the total number of battles I've fought is less than a thousand!"

King Qianyu opened his mouth but couldn't speak for a moment. King Jinjian was also stunned for a moment. Although he had long heard that King Xinhuan had extraordinary talent, he did not expect that he would have such confidence to accept such a large number of challenges.

It's important to understand that issuing a challenge is an extremely serious matter, especially when facing a renowned genius like the Heart Illusion King. Although the alien inheritors are confident, they wouldn't act rashly. However, the sheer number of inheritors, coupled with the Heart Illusion King's status as a realm lord and his fourth level of inheritance, has attracted countless alien races' discontent and provocations, resulting in these 15 challenges.

"As a Realm Lord, to be able to defeat an invincible King in a direct confrontation, and even defeat multiple Venerable-level inheritors, your talent has already surpassed the conventional understanding of the universe." King Chaman shook his head, his face full of sighs. "Those alien inheritors either wanted to test your strength themselves, or they wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate you, this 'outsider.' Unfortunately, they're going to be disappointed." "We came here specifically to congratulate you." King Qianyu finally recovered and laughed heartily. "Congratulations on your ascension to godhood today! 999 wins and 1 loss, earning over a thousand Glory Points in a single day, enough to exchange for more than ten inheritance opportunities. This speed is simply unprecedented!"

"Congratulations." King Chaman spoke at the right moment, his eyes full of approval. King Golden Sword also nodded slightly, his tone tinged with a hint of wistfulness: "It's truly enviable. King Heart Illusion, you've only been fighting for one day, yet you've already achieved such results. Given time, you will surely stand out among the Ancestral God Sect's successors."

Wu Qingfeng smiled faintly, but thought to himself, "I still lost one duel." Although his strength was among the top tier of fourth-level inheritors, he was not invincible. Different fighting styles, different secret techniques, and even situations where one could counter the other. The 1000 opponents he chose varied in strength. Apart from some self-created peak secret techniques and those with profound understanding of the laws who were invincible kings, the vast majority were Venerables. Losing one duel was to be expected.

"I don't care about losing these few glory points," Wu Qingfeng said with a hint of pride in his eyes. "Being able to fight against geniuses from billions of races in the universe, hone my own laws, and become familiar with various fighting styles—that's the most valuable thing." King Qianyu, King Chaman, and King Yujian exchanged glances, a sense of admiration rising in their hearts. King Xinhuan possessed extraordinary talent, yet he remained humble and composed, approaching every battle with a modest attitude. This character was far more valuable than his talent.

In truth, if Wu Qingfeng revealed his trump card and directly unleashed his ultimate technique, there would be virtually no chance of him losing. However, the fusion of four laws, and the creation of an ultimate secret technique by a realm lord, was far too astonishing. He feared it would directly attract the assassination attempt of the universe's strongest being! Although his current abilities were extraordinary, any assassination attempt would likely involve a universe overlord or even a top-tier overlord, not the universe's strongest being. After all, any clan would never dare to directly assassinate a genius within the Ancestral God Sect; no clan would dare challenge the Ancestral God Sect's bottom line. Hiring a lone universe's strongest being would require at least a peak-level treasure as a fee, so the cost had to be considered.

The next morning, just as dawn broke, a faint light appeared in the desert of Purple Thorn Island. Having rested, the Heart Illusion King reconnected his consciousness to the Glory World and resumed his series of battles.

His record is clearly visible to all inheritors simply by opening the black book in their hands—the name of the Heart Illusion King is prominently listed on the list of fourth-level inheritors, and his wins and losses continue to be updated, with an astonishingly high win rate.

A thousand battles a day, followed by rest, then the cycle repeats the next day. Wu Qingfeng's Glory Points skyrocketed, from an initial 3 points to tens of thousands, leaving countless alien inheritors dumbfounded. They finally realized that their initial provocation was nothing but overestimating themselves; the Heart Illusion King's strength was far greater than they had imagined.

Those alien inheritors who had proactively sent challenge letters to King Xinhuan were now filled with regret and heartache. However, the rules of the Glory World had already been established: once a challenge was sent and the other party accepted, there was no going back. Even if they did not fight, they would be considered to have automatically forfeited and had the corresponding Glory Points deducted.

On the desert battlefield, Wu Qingfeng's figure remained upright, the fluctuations of the Light and Time Fusion Law sweeping in all directions, each move carrying an overwhelming advantage. His combat skills became increasingly proficient through constant honing, and his understanding of the Fusion Law steadily improved in clashes with geniuses from various races, his momentum of consecutive victories unstoppable.

Meanwhile, the Fire Beast God, far away in the Eight Directions Beast God Temple, was closely monitoring the Heart Illusion King's every move through the inheritor's battle records. A deep interest and anticipation shone in the eyes of all three heads—this human boy who defied the laws of the universe was writing his own legend with victory after victory.
