This was only part of his goal.
He also intended to use this opportunity to advance to level 6.
Currently, his strength had already reached the peak of level 5, and he could break through to level 6 at any moment.
However, he had been suppressing his advancement all this time.
Because advancing to level 6 required undergoing a Thunder Tribulation.
Successfully surviving the Thunder Tribulation would temper his body, making it even stronger, igniting a trace of Divine Fire, and taking the first step on the path to godhood.
But if he failed the tribulation, it would spell utter disaster for him.
Most who failed the Thunder Tribulation would lose their lives.
That was why he was being so cautious—he wouldn't dare to actively undergo the tribulation unless he was absolutely certain of success.
This was also the reason why level 6 was vastly more powerful than level 5.
Once one reached level 6, killing a level 5 would be as easy as slaughtering a chicken.
At this moment, Luo Feng's expression darkened slightly upon hearing Black Commander's words. He hadn't expected Black Commander's intentions to be like this.
However, Luo Feng didn't agree with his reasoning and sneered, "To escape Mist Island, you're willing to sacrifice so many animals' lives—that's far too cruel.
I won't say anything more. There's nothing else to discuss with you.
Today, I will definitely ruin your plans."
As soon as Luo Feng finished speaking, Black Tortoise began moving toward the Black Water Wall.
The Ice-Fire Being had already gathered before Luo Feng, and the Icefire Lotus crashed into the Black Water Wall.
The Thousand Blade Sword appeared in Luo Feng's hand as he struck at the Black Water Wall.
In less than three seconds, the Black Water Wall had already been shattered by Luo Feng and his companions.
Black Tortoise began climbing onto the small island, making its way toward Black Commander.
Seeing this, Black Commander couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath—this was one of his signature abilities.
The Black Water Wall was incredibly resilient.
Even if a level 5 creature attacked it, breaking through in such a short time would be impossible.
Let alone reducing the Black Water Wall to fragments in mere moments.
This human's combat power was alarmingly strong.
It seemed he had encountered a troublesome opponent this time.
What shocked him the most was the overwhelming sense of danger he felt emanating from that blade.
This was something he had never experienced in all these years.
When he focused his attention on the blade, his expression suddenly twisted in horror, his face betraying panic as he exclaimed, "The Thousand-Bladed Demon Blade?
How is this possible?
How could that blade be in your hands?
Wasn't it destroyed along with the demon?"
Hearing this, Luo Feng's face showed surprise. It seemed Black Commander knew quite a bit—he even recognized the Thousand Blade Sword. Luo Feng asked curiously, "You know this blade?
Can you tell me about its origins?
If your explanation satisfies me, I might consider making your death quick later."
Black Commander's expression darkened further at Luo Feng's words.
He had only learned about the demon from some Inheritance he had obtained in the Black Lake.
Once, a demon had appeared on Mist Island.
It had slaughtered countless creatures across the island.
Later, a human wielding a demonic blade had emerged and slain the demon.
The place where the demon died was this very Black Lake.
This was also why one could obtain Demon Blood within the Black Lake.
As for that human and the Thousand-Bladed Demon Blade, they had vanished without a trace.
What he never expected was to actually lay eyes on this Mythical Divine Artifact.
It was a weapon on the same level as the Demon Orb in his possession.
However, the Demon Orb in his hand had not been fully mastered—he could only unleash a fraction of its power.
He was well aware that the Thousand-Bladed Demon Blade was also known as the Ghost Extermination Divine Blade.
The bane of all demons and evil spirits.
Any negative energy could be absorbed by it.
Yet, Black Commander was not so terrified that he immediately dropped to his knees and begged for mercy. His current strength was still formidable.
He could clearly sense that the human before him was not the same one who had slain the demon.
This human was definitely not Level 6.
At most, Level 5.
If that was the case, then there was nothing to fear.
He remained utterly confident—below Level 6, he was invincible.
Thinking this, Black Commander sneered, "Hmph, you think you're worthy of asking about the Thousand-Bladed Demon Blade?
A dead man walking shouldn't concern himself with such things.
You don't actually believe a single blade is enough to kill me, do you?
Today, I'll show you the true extent of my power."
No sooner had Black Commander spoken than an immense surge of dark energy began radiating from his body.
Yet, he remained motionless, still channeling energy into the Demon Orb.
At such a critical moment, he couldn't afford to disrupt his plans just to kill Luo Feng.
Countless Black Orbs shot out from around him, hurtling toward Luo Feng.
Seeing this, Luo Feng smirked and said,
"Perfect timing. Let's see whether your Black Orbs or my Icefire Lotuses are stronger."
The Ice-Fire Being charged forward, wielding a multitude of Icefire Lotuses to intercept the Black Orbs.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng leapt into action, swiftly advancing toward Black Commander and the Man in Black.
The Thousand Blade Sword in his hand blazed with an intense Nine-Colored Light.
Now that Luo Feng could split his actions with an Energy Doppelganger, he wasn't about to waste this ability.
In theory, he could have summoned another Ice-Fire Being to join the fight.
But Luo Feng's energy reserves were limited—he simply didn't have enough to manifest another Ice-Fire Being for battle.
In the future, once Luo Feng's level increased and the fusion rate of the Icefire Origin Pearl improved, he might not even need to lift a finger in combat—his Energy Doppelgangers could handle everything.
The mere thought of it was exhilarating.
When the Icefire Lotuses collided with the Black Orbs,
A massive Explosion erupted.
A single Icefire Lotus failed to completely destroy a Black Orb.
Noticing this, Luo Feng frowned slightly. It seemed Black Commander had some tricks up his sleeve.
Who would've thought his Black Orbs were this powerful?
Still, Luo Feng wasn't afraid. If one Icefire Lotus couldn't match a Black Orb, he had plenty more.
The Ice-Fire Being was surrounded by Icefire Lotuses, which now surged forward in overwhelming numbers, crashing into the Black Orbs.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of Explosions was relentless.
The surrounding Black Mist was blasted apart, leaving vast empty patches in its wake.
The explosion didn't last long.
The nine Black Orbs released by Black Commander had been completely obliterated by Luo Feng's Icefire Lotus, leaving nothing behind.
Meanwhile, the number of Icefire Lotuses surrounding the Ice-Fire Being was considerable and rapidly increasing.
