Qianwu Universe Country.
Splendid light flowed within the ancient palace, reflecting a mottled pattern of alternating black and green, exuding a heavy sense of age.
"You're saying that a disciple from Wanshan is in my universe country?"
On the throne, the Qianwu Country Lord, with divine power flowing around him, looked at Minghu Zunzhe with a hint of surprise. "What's his name?"
"Jiang Li."
Minghu Zunzhe raised his cup and drank heartily, his beautiful eyes gazing at the flowing light screen that appeared in the middle of the palace. The images flickered like a revolving lantern, instantly switching to the world.
At the same time.
In the virtual universe network, hundreds of billions of stellar-level geniuses had chosen their weapons, battle suits, and auxiliary devices such as spatial wristbands, awaiting the end of the final countdown...
"Weapons, huh?"
Jiang Li looked at the weapon selection provided by the virtual universe and pondered for a moment: "Starfall has a large coverage area, but its single-target damage seems a bit weak."
According to the rules of the 'Cosmic Human Race Peak Genius Battle', each contestant could choose up to 10 weapons.
Of course.
Most contestants would use secret pattern weapons that matched their own laws.
Just like Luo Feng chose an 'Evolving Godly Weapon', and Hong used the Aurora Silver Star Spear, the "Primal Force Weapon: Wind-Thunder Cloud Sword."
"Mental Power Weapon: Starfall."
"Hmm?"
Jiang Li filtered the "Wood" category and quickly found a mental power weapon: "Coiling Dragon Rod!"
The Coiling Dragon Rod was also one of the mental strength masters' godly weapons, with the full name "Nine-Bend Coiling Dragon Rod." It contained 10,081 coiling dragon vines, each holding incredibly profound original law secret patterns.
Like the Evolving Godly Weapon, it was forged by fusing the two fundamental laws of "Wood" and "Space."
If the Evolving Godly Weapon was the most suitable weapon for those who controlled the path of Metal and Space,
then the Nine-Bend Coiling Dragon Rod was the most suitable weapon for those who controlled the path of Wood and Space.
"This is it!"
Jiang Li held the Primal Force Weapon: Wind-Thunder Cloud Sword, with the Mental Power Weapon: Starfall hanging from his arm, and the Nine-Bend Coiling Dragon Rod on his back, waiting for the virtual universe's teleportation.
Soon.
Transmission initiated.
Jiang Li felt a blur before his eyes, and the entire world seemed to shift. When he reappeared, he was in a residential house.
"Hmm? The gravity has changed."
Jiang Li examined the world around him and glanced at the screen on his wrist.
"Contestant: Jiang Li (Qianwu Universe Country)"
"Points: 0."
"Ranking: None."
"World Zone: 11."
提示:The Eleventh World Zone is a simulated continent modeled after the 'Okro Planet' of the real-world Qianwu Universe Country. The entire continent has one hundred and twenty-two cities, with an area of twenty-one million square kilometers.
Point Rules: Participants start with 0 points. Killing a player increases your points by 1 while also gaining half of the opponent's points.
Ranking Rules: Ranked by points, for a period of 30 days.
(Note: Even if you die, you can still advance if you have enough points.)
Jiang Li sat on the sofa in the residential building, leisurely reading the relevant rules.
"I'm currently in the suburbs of Liuli City?"
"Hmm?"
"Choose between low-key or high-profile."
Jiang Li pondered how to start.
Bang!
With a thud, the alloy door of the residential building was kicked open. A cold blade followed the momentum of the opening door and slashed directly at Jiang Li: "Sorry!"
The blade's gleam was cold, carrying a sound that tore through the air.
"So polite?"
Jiang Li looked at the descending blade, somewhat surprised. As he spoke, the Primal Force Weapon: Wind-Thunder Cloud Sword in his hand shot out like a swimming dragon, arriving first, and instantly striking the black-clothed man's head.
"This?"
The black-clothed man's head exploded with a shot, his face and eyes filled with disbelief. Boom!
The blade's light abruptly stopped, and the black-clothed man's body collapsed, falling out of the Qianwu competition.
"Damn it, his weapon is longer than mine!"
Back on the virtual universe network, the black-robed man, looking utterly dejected, was cursing.
"If I had known, I would have chosen a halberd!"
However.
Little did he know that within Jiang Li's mental power range, the swift blade light moved almost like slow motion.
"Hmm? The points are fluctuating?"
Jiang Li glanced at the crystal screen on his arm.
Participant: Jiang Li (Qianwu Universe Country) Points: 1.
Ranking: **.
World Zone: 11.
"That was efficient, cut down by half in one go."
"Since I'll have to reveal my strength sooner or later, there's no need to hide anymore."
Jiang Li's eyes flickered slightly, and then his figure blurred. He shot out of the residential building like a startled swan, soaring into the sky.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Outside, dusk was falling.
The sounds of battle echoed from building to building.
Suddenly, several streaks of light shot out from the high-rise buildings, hurtling towards Jiang Li, who was ascending into the air.
"What a cocky guy, daring to fly up into the sky!"
Clang!
Facing the incoming streak of light, Jiang Li swept the long spear in his hand: as the light scattered, he leaped, ascending another hundred meters into the sky.
"There are quite a few people here!"
Jiang Li looked down, a faint smile playing on his lips. Then, his eyes narrowed, and the 'Starfall' on his arm burst with light.
The brilliance was dazzling, instantly dispelling the twilight, and a terrifying sensation arose in the hearts of the surrounding contestants.
Everyone was instantly terrified.
"Oh my god, that's Starfall!"
"Damn, I'm unlucky as hell, running into a guy who's fused a law."
"Dog, stop chasing me and go for the guy up there!"
"What the hell? He's starting with a big move?"
Many stellar-level geniuses recognized the weapon Jiang Li had summoned, and exclamations immediately erupted.
"Quick, let's join forces and kill him first!"
With a sharp cry, a torrent of light erupted. Golden, green, crimson... all sorts of radiant streams shot towards Jiang Li in the sky. Hundreds of stellar-level ninth-rank geniuses attacking simultaneously—the momentum was simply earth-shattering.
It instantly covered a radius of several thousand meters centered on Jiang Li.
"Starfall!"
Jiang Li raised his hand and pressed down fiercely. The light from the 'Starfall' bloomed in the sky, and a stream of earth-white meteors poured down like a breached dam.
"It's him! The peerless genius from the Thunder World!!!"
"Damn it, run!"
As soon as Starfall appeared, the contestants from the Black Dragon Mountain Territory immediately recognized Jiang Li and fled for their lives.
Boom!
The light in the sky exploded, and the colorful, ever-changing shadows splashed in all directions. That was the effect of various mental power weapons colliding with Starfall.
As a fellow fifth-order mental power weapon, Starfall's effect lay in its dense and vast range. A continuously expanding meteor, like a wheel, instantly crushed the suburban city below from the sky. For a moment, screams, curses, cries of misery, and the sounds of collapse were intertwined.
The next moment.
The massive suburban city had turned into a wasteland.
"The points ranking has changed!"
"Come quick, there's a freak in Sector Eleven of the world!"
"How long has it been? Not even an hour, and they've already killed over a thousand to get into the top ten?"
"They're all maniacs!"
Numerous teams monitoring the points ranking exclaimed in surprise. On the holographic screens, a new name had appeared in the top 1000.
Contestant: Jiang Li (Qianwu Universe Country) Points: 1832.
Ranking: 7.
World Zone: 11.
"Damn it, I almost got out!"
"I, the young master of the Star Sea Pavilion, am actually ranked over seven hundred million?"
Laments echoed throughout the Qianwu Universe Country territory.
Some with domains, some who had just grasped the entry-level laws, couldn't escape Jiang Li's indiscriminate Starfall attack, and could only resign themselves to their misfortune.
Sometimes, luck is a part of strength.
