Across the Earth galaxy, in the Myriad Divine Mountains.
Venerable Wanshan's main body was stationed in his old lair, while his divine power avatar was in the Qianwu Palace, which was a hundred million light-years away.
There was no choice.
The peak genius battle for the universe's human race wasn't broadcast across the entire virtual universe network.
If you wanted to watch, you either had to go to the internal spaces of the Virtual Universe Company or the Qianwu Palace, which was hosting the event, or spend a fortune to take a spaceship to the simulation World Zone, nine thousand meters above.
"Three thousand three hundred colored stars falling..."
Inside the Qianwu Palace, Venerable Mingyuan, who was enjoying her meal, raised an eyebrow and looked at Venerable Wanshan, who was sitting opposite her, and said, "Wanshan, your disciple is quite something! He's already fused the Earth-Space Law at the Star Level!"
"But, you don't need to be so protective of your disciple, do you? I'm not going to steal him from you!"
"It's fine for now…"
Venerable Wanshan's eyes flickered, and he shook his head slightly, "It might be difficult later on."
As a teacher, Venerable Wanshan had observed Jiang Li for some time, and he understood his personality to some extent.
When he's low-key, he's very low-key.
When he's high-profile, he doesn't hide his abilities at all.
Thinking of this, a trace of worry couldn't help but flash in his eyes.
A peerless genius of three laws… once exposed, what kind of uproar would it cause? Even as a Universe Venerable, he couldn't say for sure.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Venerable Wanshan's words, the Qianwu Universe Country Lord became curious: "Wanshan, does this disciple of yours have any hidden cards?"
"With the fusion of Earth and space, his comprehension will certainly be high."
Along with the voice, ripples surged through the space within the palace, and another Universe Venerable's divine power avatar appeared: "If his will is strong enough, advancing to the Final Battle shouldn't be a problem!"
While a group of Venerables gathered in the Qianwu Palace.
Jiang Li had already torn through Liuli City.
"It's no use having ten birds in the forest; one sword strike and they all run away!"
Jiang Li sat helplessly on the rooftop of a high-rise building. Everywhere he looked, there was only deathly silence, and not a single living thing remained.
After all.
Not many people are willing to clash head-on with existences who have fused two laws in the preliminary rounds, even those who have also fused two laws don't want to!
Soon.
As time passed, Jiang Li's ranking kept dropping.
"Seven days, and I haven't seen a single person."
Jiang Li felt a little helpless, glancing at the crystal screen on his arm.
Contestant: Jiang Li (Qianwu Universe Country) Points: 29322.
Ranking: 163.
World Zone: 11.
"According to the rules, ranking within the top thousand guarantees advancement."
"The kill points increase the further we go, so I'll wait a bit."
Jiang Li pondered briefly, then decided to abandon the search for other contestants and instead 'wait for the rabbit' in Liuli City.
As someone aiming for the top spot...
It wasn't arrogance on Jiang Li's part, but in the vast Qianwu Universe, among the eight hundred billion contestants, he didn't believe anyone could be his match! At least, until now, no Star Level fighter had forced him to use the Tower of Laws.
On the other side.
In World Zone One, where Luo Feng was located, he was still alive, and his ranking was slowly climbing.
"Just a little more, and I can activate the second stage of the Evolving God Weapon. I have to be extremely cautious!"
Luo Feng was moving through the dense forest, always staying alert.
First World Zone, on the barrier layer.
A spaceship was traveling in the World Zone's airspace. Many councilors from Earth were gathered inside, and Luo Feng's family was on this spaceship.
Meanwhile, Ling Ling was with Abusika, Ling Yunsu, and Akelote in the Eleventh World Zone.
"Jiang Li's ranking has been dropping since he reached seventh place."
Ling Ling watched Jiang Li's ranking continuously fall, and couldn't help but worry, asking: "Has he run into trouble?"
With Planet Level eyesight, it was actually very difficult to penetrate a distance of ten thousand meters to see the situation inside the World Zone.
"Don't worry, my lady, His Highness hasn't left Liuli City."
Ling Yunsu chuckled. "I reckon His Highness is planning to make his move at the very end."
"Abusika, what do you think?"
"Me?"
Abusika was taken aback, then affirmed, "All I know is, in the entire eating-witch universe sector, no one is a match for our His Highness!"
"His opponent is in the Final Battle!"
Fifteenth day of the preliminary rounds, World Zone 88.
The wind howled, and the stench of blood permeated the entire street.
"Come on!"
The Thunder God, holding his Thunder Battle Knife, was covered in wounds and knelt on one knee, but a cruel smile still played on his face as he shouted, "Come on again!"
Opposite him, the burly man holding a crimson spear wasn't doing much better.
"I said..."
"Are you f*cking insane?!"
The burly man gasped, "This is a points battle, not a life-or-death fight, why are you chasing me?!"
"They said you have a lot of points!"
After more than a dozen days of fierce fighting, the Thunder God had vaguely grasped Lord Kabu's second secret technique, and his points were also climbing.
"Idiot!"
The burly man cursed. Everyone had a domain and had also comprehended a law, so their strengths were almost equal. It would be difficult for him to kill Thunder God.
Similarly, it would also be difficult for Thunder God to kill him.
The final result would be both sides getting hurt, and others would take advantage.
Thunder God was reckless, but he wasn't that stubborn. After cursing, he soared into the air and flew away in a flash.
"Don't go!"
As time passed, the number of people in each World Zone decreased rapidly.
The World Zone where Hong was located mostly consisted of mountains and plains, with only a dozen cities.
"Let there be light," said God, "and there was light?"
Hong walked out of a cave, his eyes revealing a hint of understanding: "If the origin of light is like this, then I don't want it!"
"The light in my heart is the light of dawn that tears through the darkness!"
"The light I perceive is the light of faith that humanity has in hope, coming from the Great Nirvana!"
"If the universe has no light, then I will be this eternal beam of light!"
Hong's eyes shone brightly, his heart as firm as a rock, as he held the Aurora Silver Star Spear and walked step by step through the blood-red plateau.
"Brothers, another one came out of the mountains!"
A voice of surprise rang out. Many geniuses from different powers were assigned to the same World Zone and formed small teams in the points race to hunt down lone geniuses.
As the sound echoed, three figures burst out from the dense forest.
"Too slow!"
Hong's form flickered, instantly transforming into a streak of lightning. Moving at nearly the speed of light, his Aurora Silver Star Spear sliced through the air, and a massive head was instantly sent flying.
"Light speed?!"
"No, it's the Light Origin Law!"
The other two men's expressions changed drastically. They immediately scattered and fled, cursing in their hearts, "Damn it, where did this genius come from?!"
Swish!
After the Aurora Silver Star Spear passed through another burly man, Hong's figure refracted in mid-air, like a beam of light, and attacked the last person.
"Ah!"
Hong coldly killed, and his points quickly rose.
In a luxurious hall of a giant spaceship, thousands of people gathered. This group was the ruling class of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
The emperor of the empire, the core of the royal family, and the high-level figures of various forces were all present.
The peak genius battle of the universe humans was the grandest event for the human race. Even the Qianwu Universe Country's emperor was paying close attention, not to mention these subordinate territories.
"Your Majesty, great news!"
"Another genius from our Black Dragon Mountain Empire has made it onto the advancement list!"
"Hong!"
"In just one day, he's ranked 17th in the World Zone!"
A clear voice echoed throughout the hall, invigorating everyone.
