"Big brother, are you going to the battle of the ultimate geniuses?"
In the virtual universe, on Black Dragon Mountain Island, Luo Feng and his two companions, who had just finished training in the Killing Space, gathered together. Upon seeing Ye Yang appear...
Thor then asked with a smile.
"I've already registered, but my nationality is from the Cuilang Star Region, which is different from yours," Ye Yang said with a smile.
He briefly recounted how he had been hunted down by the Anzac family, and only then did everyone realize that the Anzac family, who now seemed incredibly obedient and loyal in the Silver Blue Empire and guarded the void region of the Milky Way, were actually enemies who had plotted to seize the inheritance of Meteorite Star.
Previously, in order to conceal information about Earth, Ye Yang had Hong, Thor, and Luo Feng register their nationalities on different life-bearing planets owned by the Anzak family, while Earth was not recorded in any imperial archives.
"Brother, you're really carrying the burden for us," Hong exclaimed.
Upon hearing Hong's words, Ye Yang's forehead creased with embarrassment. He quickly coughed twice and said, "This Peak Genius Battle is held by Virtual Universe Company, one of the five giants. If you can enter the core circle of Virtual Universe Company through the Genius Battle, it's like a meteoric rise to the top, where you'll receive the best training!"
Even if you fail along the way, you can still showcase yourself and let those immortal powerhouses and realm lords see you. There will also be powerful figures who will come to guide you and take you as a disciple.
"Therefore, this is a golden opportunity for the rise of our human race, one we cannot afford to miss!"
Ye Yang looked at Luo Feng: "Junior brother, among the four of us, your talent is now second only to mine, and you have also obtained the Divine Weapon and the Demon Slayer Clan clone."
"Your biggest disadvantage is your short training time, but as long as you can make full use of the Golden Horned Beast and the Demon Slayer Clan, you will make rapid progress in a short period of time!"
"Don't slack off! You have the potential to break out of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom!"
Ye Yang's encouragement immediately made Luo Feng's eyes light up, and his emotions were very high.
"Second brother, third brother, you have both cultivated your domains to the ninth level in recent years. If you're careful, passing the preliminary elimination rounds shouldn't be a problem. But if you can go even further and comprehend the threshold of the Origin Laws, your strength will experience a qualitative leap!"
"I don't know much about the laws of light and lightning, so you'll have to figure that out yourselves."
"Haha!" Hong and Thor both laughed heartily, "How many crises and challenges did we experience during the Great Nirvana Era? We overcame them all, and we'll definitely break through our limits this time too!"
The four men looked at each other and laughed, all filled with boundless pride.
On April 16, 2066, a notification email for the Peak Genius Battle arrived, containing a lot of information about the preliminary rounds, such as the competition format, physical and weapon restrictions, etc. On May 16, contestants from over 820 billion stars in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom began to assemble and enter the competition.
The preliminary rounds are divided into 100 world zones. Hong is in zone 72, Thor in zone 88, and Luo Feng in zone 1.
Ye Yang is from District 11.
"Mass teleportation imminent, countdown: 60-59.58-"
After being prompted, everyone checked their chosen weapons and equipment and then began the teleportation process.
Ye Yang looked at his body. He had chosen a curved blade plate, a second-tier Force battle suit, and a full set of "Void Return Eternity," totaling five pieces. Of course, apart from the arm armor and combat boots, he did not know how to use the other three pieces and could only wear them as ordinary alloy battle armor.
The spatial ring contains shields, spare weapons, food, and other items.
The four encouraged and blessed each other.
As the mass teleportation began, more than 8200 billion people on the continent vanished instantly, teleported to their respective arenas.
At the same time, the preliminary rounds of the battle of the most outstanding geniuses in the universe, from various cosmic nations, have begun!
11th World Zone.
Ye Yang looked around. It was a garden, filled with a fragrant aroma.
Unfortunately, this place is about to become a hellish battlefield.
"The qualifiers only last 30 days, I want to get a good look at the talents of the countless other geniuses."
He strode forward, his mental energy sweeping out unrestrainedly—
Under immense gravity, even with cosmic-level consciousness enhancement and a 24-fold soul amplitude, Ye Yang's psychic power could only radiate about 2 kilometers at most.
However, within this 2-kilometer stretch, a large number of human figures were detected.
The qualifiers have just begun, and the number of participants is extremely high.
Ye Yang remained expressionless and immediately locked onto the 40 closest people.
At the same time, within a 2-kilometer radius of Ye Yang, many athletes were looking in the same direction simultaneously:
"They dare to scan so blatantly as soon as they come in, that's really bold."
"Hmph, they're practically asking for death!"
"Such a bold move must be from a powerful individual. Even if not, there must be a large number of powerful individuals gathered over there—"
Some people began flying towards the direction of the telekinetic scan, while others moved away.
However, the 40 people closest to him suddenly shuddered, their eyes rolled back, and they died with blood flowing from all seven orifices!
The soul in the virtual universe was directly annihilated!
Ye Yang strolled through the garden, the enchanting fragrance filling his nostrils, and the bright spring sunshine making him feel relaxed and happy.
It felt as if this wasn't a battlefield, but rather an incredibly peaceful and beautiful backyard.
With a total amplitude of 2160 times, Ye Yang was able to unleash 43 "Heart Sword Soul Seals" simultaneously.
He directly targeted the 40 nearest contestants and simultaneously released 40 Heart Sword Soul Seals—this was only the beginning, and even if one knew the secret technique of soul defense, there was not enough time to cultivate it in such a short period of time.
For example, Luo Feng hid in a building and cultivated for 10 days during the preliminary rounds before he could use his mental power to form the "Void Tower," and he only had the first layer of the tower.
Therefore, Ye Yang made his move right from the start. As long as one's willpower is not at the cosmic level, a single Heart Sword Soul Seal is enough to kill!
Ye Yang, who specializes in illusions and soul attacks, is not comparable to Luo Feng, who only cultivated the "Ten Thousand Swords Soul Seal".
One step, two steps, three steps. — Ten steps, twenty steps, stop.
Ye Yang's gaze swept across the scene, as if he could follow his mental power and see the hundreds of contestants fighting.
There were no words spoken, only a calm gaze sweeping across.
Forty Heart Sword Soul Seals were unleashed simultaneously, striking with unparalleled precision into the consciousness of the forty contestants who were engaged in battle.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! ———
They fell one after another.
Those who were still alive looked bewildered as they watched the fighters around them suddenly fall and die, or as their opponents who had been fighting to the death with them just moments before die.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
They haven't been able to understand yet.
The next second, another 40 Heart Sword Soul Seals struck, and another 40 lives were reaped!
"not good!"
"Nya—"
Ye Yang was like an eraser, or like some kind of cosmic law, causing the ninth-level Hengxing cultivators around him to die one after another.
Occasionally, he would encounter a few individuals with extraordinary willpower, reaching the cosmic level, capable of withstanding the first Heart Sword Soul Seal—Ye Yang would glance over and unleash ten 'Large Heart Sword Arrays' simultaneously, a saturation attack that wiped them out in one wave!
Only when one's will and consciousness reach the cosmic level can one survive Ye Yang's attacks without having cultivated any soul defenses.
Unfortunately, he has yet to encounter such a genius.
On this very first battlefield, these ninth-level Hengxing cultivators, who had formed almost no defensive measures on their souls and were eager to fight, became easy targets for Ye Yang to slaughter. It was truly a case of killing one person every ten steps and leaving no trace for a thousand miles!
For the first three days, Ye Yang transformed into a tireless killing machine, spending at least 20 hours a day walking around.
While out and about, kill as you go!
Very few people who enter within a kilometer of him can escape with their lives.
Some might call him crazy, bloodthirsty, brutal, and callous, but Ye Yang calls him highly efficient.
"It's the fourth day."
Ye Yang looked at the screen on his wristband, which displayed his current score and ranking:
Participant: Ye Yang (Cui Lang Empire)
Points: 47328
Ranking: 2
"Damn, someone actually killed faster than me? Oh well, the participants these days don't have enough points."
Ye Yang shook his head. Although the killing over the past three days was efficient, the points gained were not.
He had originally thought that he could slaughter at will while the participants had no time to build up their soul defenses, but he did not expect that these people had become cunning and were trying to avoid him in every possible way.
In that case, continuing the high-intensity killing would be a thankless and futile endeavor.
"From now on, I'll just kill for 10 hours a day, clear out a space, and then rest."
"I'd be happy to have those geniuses with strong willpower and determination come to me; I'm exactly looking for practice material."
In the past three days, Ye Yang has made a name for himself in this city, and most geniuses don't dare to approach the neighborhood where Ye Yang is located.
Centered on Ye Yang, the area within a 5-kilometer radius is almost entirely uninhabited!
But if the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain. Ye Yang can move on his own, and the other unlucky participants can't escape him even if they want to.
After completing 10 hours of killing in a day, Ye Yang continued to construct the Void Tower in his sea of consciousness.
Day 8 of the qualifiers.
"Death has finally stopped in that direction; it shouldn't move again today."
"Even if we don't move today, we'll continue killing for another 10 hours tomorrow!"
"Do we really have anywhere to hide?"
"This man is truly terrifying. In terms of the range of his telekinetic energy, no one can compare to 'Death.' We've never even seen his true face, yet we've all perished within a 1-kilometer radius of his 'dead zone.'"
The allied team of geniuses are always filled with lingering fear whenever the existence of "Death" is mentioned.
At first, they couldn't even determine whether the sudden deaths were attacks from other participants or some kind of natural disaster like a "storm" or "thunderstorm".
Still wondering why the organizers included this natural disaster setting?
They even gave this "phenomenon" a name: "dead zone".
As a result—after one lucky person narrowly escaped death from its soul attack, everyone realized that the one who created this "dead zone" was a participant who was so powerful that he could be called a "monster"!
So this person was given another nickname: Death!
Some weaker individuals even deliberately roam near the "Dead Zone" in an attempt to use its reputation to save their lives.
On the edge of the 'dead zone'—
"Hiding here is not a long-term solution; death will eventually begin its slaughter again."
"There's nothing we can do about it. We're among the top geniuses in the galaxy, but we never expected to be so humiliated in this ultimate genius battle, just in the preliminary rounds—"
Two combatants who were wandering nearby were talking when suddenly their expressions changed.
boom!
The B9 material floor was suddenly smashed into a large crater.
"Velocity!" The gaunt man stared in shock at his companion, whose body had been smashed beyond recognition.
"Heh heh, what cowards you two are!" A short, childlike woman chuckled as she snatched the enormous spiked club.
The reason she is called a "woman" and not a "little girl" is because, apart from her height, her figure is better than that of many adult women.
"It's her, Asan!" The gaunt man's expression changed drastically.
After eight days of preliminary rounds, many skilled players emerged from the competition, having distinguished themselves through numerous battles.
The woman nicknamed "Yashan" is one of them.
Despite her small stature, she possesses astonishing strength and is a powerful master of the Earth Domain!
In this city, its strength ranks among the top ten.
Upon recognizing the assailant, the gaunt man immediately turned and fled, but was easily caught by "Yashan" and smashed into a pulp.
"Death?" The short woman looked towards the center of this "dead zone," her eyes gleaming with a predatory light, and flicked the blood off her spiked club. "Can you take my club?"
Above the First World Zone, a spaceship was flying on the membrane, filled with Earthlings who were familiar with Ye Yang and his companions.
"The president's growth is very stable every day, consistently ranking in the top ten of the 11th World Zone, and he stays in the top three for at least 10 hours every day." Dong Nanbiao stared at the list.
"Thunder God's speed is alright, but the Pavilion Master is a bit slower, probably because he's being more cautious. Luo Feng, on the other hand, is falling further and further behind and is now almost motionless," said Hong's personal guard, "Enchantress."
"They're probably hiding their strength."
Luo Feng's family members were also anxiously looking at the list, searching for Luo Feng below, but unfortunately they couldn't find him at all.
"Death! Death! Come out here!"
A woman's voice came from inside.
In the 11th World District, Ye Yang suddenly opened his eyes:
"Another challenger has come, and they even gave me the nickname 'Grim Reaper.'"
"When they face off against Berlan in a while, two 'Grim Reapers,' wouldn't it be embarrassing for whoever loses?"
Shaking his head, he cast his gaze over the distance of more than 900 meters and easily made out the appearance of the person who had come.
A short, youthful-looking female warrior.
"Die," Ye Yang said softly.
Instantly, a Heart Sword Soul Imprint shot out, entering the opponent's sea of consciousness and transforming into a fist, ready to launch a fatal strike.
However-·
"Get out of here!!!"
Within Yashan's sea of consciousness, his soul roared and his mental power erupted. Although he did not directly shatter or expel the Heart Sword Soul Seal, he did weaken its power to some extent.
Just as the Heart Sword Soul Imprint was about to strike Ya Shan's soul, a phantom mountain appeared and blocked the attack.
It's some kind of powerful soul defense technique!
"Hmm, you were basically unharmed under the Heart Sword Soul Seal. You do have some strength. How about this?"
Ye Yang's eyes lit up, and he immediately formed ten large Heart Sword Arrays and launched an attack.
Rumble rumble rumble rumble~~
The sea of consciousness roared.
"Ughhhh!" Yayama's head was throbbing, but he still gripped his weapon tightly and endured it.
"Ouch, that hurts!" Yayama gasped for breath, grinning as he said, "I can't wait to smash your head open and see your annoying eyeballs rolling around on the ground."
Despite the excruciating pain in its soul, Yashan charged towards Ye Yang with the most ferocious ferocity.
"Hmm, your consciousness and willpower are comparable to those at the cosmic level, and your soul defense is also very strong," Ye Yang replied, which was considered an affirmation.
But that's how it is.
As strands of mental energy silently extended, they seeped into Yashan's sea of consciousness.
