Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Five streaks of azure light contained the power of the Wood Origin Law, and just their emergence from the Green Vine Pillar made one sense their immense might.
The five Azure Wood Thorns, transformed into streaks of light, moved incredibly fast, leaving long afterimages in the air as they shot towards the horrified Blood Blade.
"What! Five Azure Wood Thorns? His comprehension of the Wood Origin Law is actually this profound!" Seeing the five streaks of azure light, Blood Blade was greatly alarmed and quickly raised his shield to block.
Clang!
The first Azure Wood Thorn struck the Force Shield Blood Blade held, and its powerful attack caused his body to sway. He felt the shield in his hand become incredibly heavy, almost too much to hold steady.
Clang!
The next moment, the second Azure Wood Thorn arrived, directly sending Blood Blade flying backward, and the shield in his hand was also knocked away.
Clang!
Struggling to resist in mid-air, Blood Blade used the blood-colored long saber in his hand to block the third Azure Wood Thorn, at the cost of the blood-colored long saber being knocked away.
With both his long saber and shield out of hand, Blood Blade hurriedly took out a spare weapon from his spatial ring, but just as he pulled it out, the remaining two Azure Wood Thorns arrived!
Witnessing the two streaks of azure light approaching, Blood Blade, on the verge of death, couldn't help but sigh in his mind, "The Green Vine Pillar truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier fifth-order Spirit Weapon. Its first move alone is something I cannot withstand."
Pfft!
The two streaks of azure light pierced into Blood Blade's body. The Second-Order Force Armor was utterly incapable of resisting the power of a fifth-order Spirit Weapon, and he was instantly killed.
Thud!
Blood Blade's corpse fell to the ground, and specks of white light rose from it, signifying Blood Blade's death and elimination from the competition.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
With a thought from Ender, the five streaks of azure light flew back to the Green Vine Pillar.
Looking at Blood Blade's dissipating corpse, he felt a slight stir. "This Blood Blade clearly hid his strength. In his previous battle with that Warrior at Domain level nine, he didn't display powerful defensive methods."
"It was only when he fought me that he brought out his battle shield and used strong defensive methods to block my fourth-order Spirit Weapon attack."
Blood Blade's actions and defensive methods reminded Ender of someone: Long Yun from the original work, who, with his super strong defense, stalled Luo Feng until he fell into the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm.
"Unfortunately, you are not him. Your defensive methods are indeed good, but you encountered me, who has even stronger offensive methods!"
The encounter with Blood Blade today made Ender understand that facing a Genius who has comprehended Law, relying solely on that fourth-order Spirit Weapon would be difficult to defeat the opponent. The best approach was to directly bring out the Green Vine Pillar to fight!
...
The battle in World Zone 32 below left the three Jiu Yi Empire individuals in the spaceship outside the invisible world barrier dumbfounded.
After the shock, each of them had their own thoughts.
"Blood Blade is dead. He couldn't make it into the top 1001 of the world ranking."
"Blood Blade is a super Genius from my Jiu Yi Empire who comprehended Law. How could he lose!"
"Unbelievable! That Genius from the Molten Rock Empire can actually unleash the top-tier fifth-order Spirit Weapon, the Green Vine Pillar."
...
"Blood Blade lost, lost to Green Demon!"
"Blood Blade is the strongest Genius around here. He actually lost to Green Demon, who only slaughters the weak."
"This Green Demon is too strong! Turns out he wasn't using his full strength before. I didn't expect his comprehension of the Wood Origin Law to be so deep, capable of unleashing the top-tier fifth-order Spirit Weapon, the Green Vine Pillar!"
"With the strength Green Demon is currently displaying, he can definitely make it into the top one thousand of the Ganwu Universe Country in this Universe Genius Battle..."
In the nearby buildings, the participating contestants watching the battle exclaimed and were astonished. The strength Ender displayed, in their eyes, was terrifyingly powerful!
...
After killing Blood Blade, Ender no longer had the idea of sweeping through the buildings. There simply weren't many people in the nearby buildings, so it was better to let them help him expand his reputation.
Flying towards an uninhabited building discovered by his Spiritual Force scan, he raised his wrist to check the points panel on the screen.
Contestant: Ender Royce (Molten Rock Empire)
Points: 162,989
Ranking: 2,308
Seeing his points surge, Ender thought to himself, "Indeed, killing Powerhouses makes points increase faster."
His points were just over forty thousand before, but after killing Blood Blade, they directly surged by over one hundred and ten thousand, showing that Blood Blade had killed many contestants and obtained over two hundred thousand points.
Flying into an uninhabited building, Ender found an undamaged room to stay in. He planned to stay here for ten days.
Ten days later would be the twentieth day of the World Preliminary Elimination Round. By then, most of those who survived would be Powerhouses, and killing these Powerhouses would earn him a large amount of points. In terms of point increase speed, it would be much faster than slaughtering the weak now.
...
"Green Demon!"
"Green Demon!"
On the fourth day of Ender's stay, several shouts reached his ears.
The shouts were extremely loud, likely audible to contestants in half the city.
"Someone's calling Green Demon. This is a provocation to Green Demon."
"Unbelievable, someone actually dares to provoke Green Demon, the Green Demon who killed Blood Blade, a Law Genius!"
"It seems this person is doomed. Daring to provoke Green Demon is seeking death."
Hearing someone provoking Green Demon, the contestants in this area were all surprised. There really were people not afraid of death.
...
"Hmm." Hearing the shouts, after a Spiritual Force scan, Ender controlled the Wind Piercing Shuttle to break through the glass and fly into the street.
"Green Demon!"
Another loud shout came. The person shouting was in the center of the street, a burly man over four meters tall carrying a huge battle axe.
Flying into the street, as Ender slowly descended, he used Spiritual Force to transmit his voice: "I'm here."
"Green Demon, you're finally here!" Seeing Ender appear, the burly man with the battle axe calmly transmitted his voice: "Others call me Mad Axe."
On the street, the two stood in confrontation across the air: one flying in the air on a Spirit Weapon, the other standing on the ground holding a battle axe.
"Mad Axe, interesting." Ender glanced at the battle axe in the burly man's hand, then transmitted his voice: "You want to challenge me?"
"I do want to challenge you, but not now," Mad Axe replied. "I will only come to challenge you when my points are enough to enter the world's top 1001 ranking."
"I know that you previously slaughtered the weak and spared the strong, all so that those Powerhouses would challenge you after acquiring enough points, and I will grant your wish."
Ender asked, "Since you know that, why are you looking for me now?"
"Coming to you now is just to ensure you don't leave this city. You must want to be the world's number one and enter the final one thousand list of the Ganwu Universe Country. You might leave this city to kill Powerhouses in other cities, which would make me lose the chance to fight a super Genius like you."
Looking at Mad Axe, Ender seemed to see determination in his eyes, and a powerful will to challenge higher peaks!
"Alright!" Ender replied, "I'll wait for your challenge."
