Chapter 345 - Chapter 344: Identity Exposed!

All of this information would be recorded by dedicated personnel.

After all, information about powerful experts of other races was something every race collected.

Collecting such information was very helpful for their own Immortals and Venerables.

Intelligence was also extremely important in battle.

Once it was learned that the opponent's secret technique was the Annihilation Overlord's, the former Sky Whale King's signature technique, this information was immediately recorded.

"After that, the Annihilation Overlord killed several Demon Race experts."

"He advanced step by step in a short period of time, gradually revealing strength at the level of invincible King."

"Moreover, it appears that his rate of improvement was extremely fast. He could advance an entire level in just a few decades."

"I suspect that he had been concealing his strength before."

"If he was not hiding his strength…"

"If he truly improved this much in such a short time, then that would be terrifying."

The Dream Demon Ancestor said with a gloomy expression.

"Empress, have you found any Human Race genius within the past nearly ten million eras whose profile matches the Annihilation Overlord?"

The Insect Empress shook her head and said,

"I have no information either regarding the Annihilation Overlord before he went to the Extraterritorial Battlefield."

"Either he was a hidden Human Race genius."

"Or a known genius who concealed his identity and entered the Extraterritorial Battlefield."

"I think the latter is more likely."

"After all, based on the way the Human Race cultivates geniuses, if such a genius truly existed, we should have records of him."

The Human Race's cultivation method was very simple.

They held the Universe Genius Battle and the Universe Powerhouse Battle, then absorbed the top one thousand talents into the Giant Axe Arena or the Virtual Universe Company.

The core geniuses of these two major forces were all recorded by the other races.

Even some geniuses who did not enter the core secret realms of the two major forces through the Universe Genius Battle or the Universe Powerhouse Battle were still recorded by the other races.

In this way, nearly more than ninety-nine percent of Human Race geniuses could be documented.

In reality, even when powerful experts took in disciples, they would have them join these two major forces.

Human Race experts at the King level and above were basically all affiliated with these two major forces.

Although a small number belonged to the other three major forces,

Even if experts from those forces had their disciples join the three major forces, the other races would still be able to record it.

After all, spies of other races were spread throughout the entire Human Race.

Although the three major forces also had their own core geniuses, their numbers were ultimately small.

Moreover, even those geniuses would still go to Chaos City, study the Chaos Monuments, and challenge the Sky-Piercing Bridge.

For Human Race experts, the simplest way to evaluate a genius was to have them challenge the Sky-Piercing Bridge.

As long as someone challenged the Sky-Piercing Bridge, the other races would basically record it.

As for the remaining lone cultivators, they were extremely rare within the Human Race.

Even those experts, for the sake of their disciples' better development, would have them join the Giant Axe Arena or the Virtual Universe Company.

At the very least, they would join the Mercenary Alliance.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to obtain suitable training opportunities.

For geniuses, going to the right places for training was extremely important.

This not only allowed them to accumulate foundation, but also to accumulate combat experience and achieve breakthroughs between life and death.

This was precisely why geniuses needed training.

Unless one was so monstrously talented that they did not need training at all, and could comprehend laws continuously without encountering any bottlenecks.

Such a genius would practically not exist unless they were cheating.

Therefore, many geniuses were recorded by the other races.

There were some geniuses who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, but they were extremely rare.

And at most, they would only possess Marquis-level strength.

Moreover, their growth rate could not possibly be this fast.

After all, without training and without sufficient foundation,

Their rate of growth could not be too fast.

After reaching the Immortal level, secret techniques also became extremely important.

At this stage, secret techniques created by others were no longer suitable.

One needed to create secret techniques suited to oneself.

However, creating secret techniques was not something that could be accomplished behind closed doors.

Sometimes, it was impossible to discover the flaws in one's own secret techniques.

Only through continuous combat could one identify those flaws.

Even Luo Fan, the personal disciple of the Lord of Ice Peak,

The Lord of Ice Peak arranged a large number of opponents for him in order to help him create better secret techniques.

Even so, Luo Fan still needed to go out and train, to seek out battles.

Not only to identify the strengths of his own secret techniques, but also to absorb the strengths of others.

No matter how talented someone was, it was impossible for their secret techniques to be perfect.

Even a genius like the Origin Ancestor could not think of every good idea when creating secret techniques.

Other people's secret techniques also had aspects worth learning from.

That was why Luo Fan still went to the Extraterritorial Battlefield.

And why he even now had incarnations fighting against other races on the Extraterritorial Battlefield and in universe secret realms.

Aside from killing experts of other races, it was also to see whether there were any good ideas that could be used to refine his own secret techniques.

Or to identify flaws in his secret techniques during combat.

As long as there was training and combat, there would be records.

Just like Luo Fan.

Even though he concealed his identity when he went to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, he was still quickly recorded by the other races.

Therefore, geniuses without records were truly very rare.

This was also why it was very difficult for major forces to hide powerful members of their race.

Cases like the Lord of Darkness were special exceptions.

Most concealment methods involved pretending not to have broken through.

The Lord of Darkness hid himself extremely well.

Even when he broke through, not even the Chaos City Lord or the Lord of Ice Peak, his fellow disciples, knew about it.

That was why the Lord of Darkness could roam the Universe Sea as a lone Lord of the Universe, gathering information for the Human Race.

"In that case, the Annihilation Overlord must have used someone else's information to enter the Extraterritorial Battlefield."

"Empress, do you have any thoughts on the Annihilation Overlord's true identity?"

The Dream Demon Ancestor looked at the Insect Empress and asked.

After all, when it came to information on Human Race geniuses, the Insect Empress knew far more than he did.

At this point, there was no possibility of concealing information.

The Insect Empress fell silent after hearing this.

She did have a suspicion.

However, that suspicion was something she herself did not quite believe.

After remaining silent for a long time, she finally voiced her guess.

"I suspect that the Annihilation Overlord's true identity is the Human Race genius, Luo Fan."

"The personal disciple recently taken in by the Lord of Ice Peak."

"Other than him, there has been no genius within ten million eras who fits the Annihilation Overlord."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent once more.

Both the Mechanical Race Father God and the Dream Demon Ancestor were very familiar with Luo Fan.

He was the genius ranked second on their races' assassination lists.

As for the one ranked first, that was the Annihilation Overlord.

Therefore, they also had some understanding of Luo Fan's information.

Upon hearing the Insect Empress's words, their first reaction was disbelief.

After all, how long had Luo Fan been cultivating?

Only a few hundred years. (TL/N: I do not know if this is accurate but the author wrote a few hundred years. But personally, it should be over a thousand by now.)

A few hundred years to possess top-tier Universe Overlord strength?

That was even less believable than saying he was born with such strength.

Of course, if he were a special lifeform, such a thing might indeed be possible.

But if one carefully considered Luo Fan's information…

Luo Fan was proficient in blade techniques and studied under the Tidal Blade King and the Lord of Ice Peak.

The laws he comprehended were the Water Origin Law and the Space Origin Law.

As for whether he also cultivated the Beast God Path, they could only say it was possible.

Luo Fan's fifth senior brother followed the Water-Space Beast God Path.

Therefore, it was also possible for Luo Fan to follow this path.

Upon closer consideration, the Annihilation Overlord and Luo Fan did indeed share many similarities.

Moreover, before the Annihilation Overlord obtained this title and was still known as the Sky Whale King, he had once gone to rescue the Tidal Blade King.

And the Tidal Blade King was Luo Fan's teacher.

At that time, the Sky Whale King had always been stationed at the Eleventh Battlefield.

No one knew why the Sky Whale King suddenly went to the First Battlefield.

And once there, he headed straight into the Turbulent Flow Region and happened to encounter the Tidal Blade King being besieged.

If the Sky Whale King was Luo Fan,

Then all of this made sense.

A disciple rescuing his teacher was perfectly reasonable.

Upon closer thought, many more similarities between Luo Fan and the Annihilation Overlord could be found.

At this moment, the Mechanical Race Father God spoke quietly.

"Based on the Mechanical Race database, the probability that the Annihilation Overlord and Luo Fan are the same person is 78.9345%."

"Empress, Meng Cha, our race has relatively little information on the Annihilation Overlord and Luo Fan."

"Please send me all the information your races have on Luo Fan and the Annihilation Overlord."

After hearing this, the Insect Empress and the Dream Demon Ancestor did not hesitate and immediately handed over all the information their races had collected on Luo Fan and the Annihilation Overlord to the Mechanical Race Father God.

After receiving the data, in less than a second, the Mechanical Race Father God spoke again.

"After comparing the data from both of your races, the probability that Luo Fan and the Annihilation Overlord are the same person is 96.5776%."

At this moment, even the Dream Demon Ancestor could no longer hold back.

"So this Luo Fan has only cultivated for a few hundred years and already possesses top-tier Universe Overlord strength?"

"He has always been…"

"The Luo Fan in Chaos City is a Space Devourer Worm incarnation!"

At this moment, the three of them had essentially confirmed the Annihilation Overlord's true identity.

The Annihilation Overlord was Luo Fan.

According to the Mechanical Race Father God's analysis, the probability that they were the same person reached an astonishing 96.5776%.

This was basically sufficient to confirm that they were one and the same.

Moreover, with so many similarities and no other matching individual found, there was no doubt left.

"No, Luo Fan's talent is far too terrifying!"

"He must be killed!"

"With such talent and such potential, he could very well become the next Origin Ancestor!"

At this moment, there was even fear in the Dream Demon Ancestor's eyes.

He recalled the period when he was dominated by the Origin Ancestor.

When the Origin Ancestor was still around, he did not even dare to go to the Universe Sea.

He feared that the moment he encountered the Origin Ancestor, he would be instantly killed.

Despite the Dream Demon Ancestor possessing a supreme treasure and having combat strength at the eighth level,

In the face of the Origin Ancestor's tenth-level soul attack, he would only be instantly annihilated.
