The mysterious and powerful existence representing the Virtual Universe Company left after making a brief announcement.
Although Luo Feng and the others were puzzled, they could only return to Building 0825 to rest.
The next morning.
“Everyone, please get ready. A collective teleportation will begin shortly, and all participants will be sent to their respective trial spaces.” A clear and pleasant voice echoed throughout the entire plane of space. The geniuses in all 1008 buildings had already gotten up and were waiting for the first round of eliminations.
First came the elimination round, followed by the final battle.
However, in terms of brutality, the elimination trials were clearly more frightening.
“Good luck.”
“Do your best.” In the first floor lobby of Building 0825, many geniuses from the Ganwu Universe Country encouraged one another. It was simply too brutal. More than a million people had been eliminated in the first round. Of the 1,000 geniuses present, probably fewer than a dozen would be able to remain here.
“Madman, good luck.”
“Feng Lun, do your best.”
Luo Feng and the green haired youth, Feng Lun, encouraged each other.
Suddenly.
Boom!
An invisible and strange force descended upon the entire plane of space, instantly teleporting all 1,008,000 young geniuses within it away. As for the Immortal existences in this space, as well as the restaurant staff and others, they were completely unaffected.
This was a huge, roughly rectangular meteorite floating in the depths of outer space, nearly a hundred kilometres long.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng appeared on the meteorite and looked around. There were tiny stars in the distance, as well as several ordinary lifeless planets not too far away. He could not help smiling in amazement.
“The Virtual Universe created more than a million trial spaces, yet every single trial space can be made this realistic.”
Seven trial towers had been built on this meteorite floating through the universe.
Each trial tower was as tall as a mountain, more than ten kilometres high and several kilometres wide. The seven trial towers were situated at different locations on the enormous meteorite.
Luo Feng lowered his head and looked at his wrist. There was a screen on it, just like the one during the preliminary selection within the Ganwu Universe Country.
“Participant: Luo Feng, Ganwu Universe Country
Points: 0
Ranking: None
Trial Space: No. 027 9378
There are seven trial towers in the trial space, and each trial tower has seven levels.
In the first trial tower, each level can provide a maximum of 10,000 points. Successfully clearing all seven levels can provide a maximum of 70,000 points.
In the second trial tower, each level can provide a maximum of 100,000 points. Successfully clearing all seven levels can provide a maximum of 700,000 points.
……
In the fourth trial tower, each level can provide a maximum of 10 million points. Successfully clearing all seven levels can provide a maximum of 70 million points.
……
In the seventh trial tower, each level can provide a maximum of 10 billion points. Successfully clearing all seven levels can provide a maximum of 70 billion points.
Note: Once you die, the trial ends.
There are two ways to clear each level.
- Kill all the targets within the level. You will receive the maximum number of points and be directly teleported to the next level.
- If you fail to kill all the targets, you will be directly teleported to the next level after ten days, provided you are still alive.
Once all participants have died, the trial ends and the final rankings are determined.
The ranking list is attached below.”
……
“Absolutely crazy.” Luo Feng looked at the screen and could not help shaking his head. “The trial ends when everyone dies? What does that mean? It means that it is impossible for anyone to pass all seven trial towers!”
Clearly, the trial towers were extremely difficult.
The Virtual Universe Company was confident that it could make every participant die.
“It is quite similar to the preliminary selection in the Ganwu Universe Country. But that time, it was only held in a single World Zone, one of the World Zones divided within the Ganwu Universe Country. This time, however, all the peak geniuses from 1008 universe countries have gathered here. There are experts everywhere. Once you fall below 7,300th place, you will be eliminated directly.” Luo Feng frowned as he pondered.
Clearly.
The first trial tower should be relatively easy, while the further one progressed, the more difficult it would become.
“It says there are two ways to pass each level. One is to kill all the targets and be teleported onwards. The other is to survive for ten days and be automatically teleported.” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. “Doesn’t that mean that I can stay in each level for up to ten days?”
“One trial tower has seven levels.”
“Then I can stay in one trial tower for a maximum of seventy days!”
Luo Feng’s face immediately revealed a delighted smile. “Excellent. That means five trial towers will give me an entire year.”
What did he lack most right now?
Time!
The Golden Horned Beast had only just broken through to the Universe level. Its innate talents had only just begun to emerge, and it had only just started comprehending the Domain and studying the Origin Law of Gold. As for the Mosha Clan clone, it had only just been born at the end of October last year. It had been cultivating for less than a year.
If he could have another year.
He would definitely become much stronger!
“Right!”
“That is what I will do!” Luo Feng made his decision. “At the beginning, I won’t rush forward. I will let the Mosha Clan clone in reality cultivate seriously and do everything possible to continuously increase my strength. The stronger I become, the further I will definitely advance in this trial space. By then……”
“Hmm!”
“Perhaps my ranking will be very low at the beginning. But there is no need to rush. What matters is the final ranking.”
“I’ll simply remain silent until I make a stunning appearance.” Luo Feng smiled.
Boom!
Luo Feng transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the first trial tower. On the pillars beside the entrance of the trial tower, which was more than ten kilometres tall, there was a symbol marked ‘1’. This was the first trial tower.
Luo Feng prepared his mind weapon, battle armour and other equipment, then entered the first trial tower.
As soon as he entered the tower.
The text on Luo Feng’s screen changed.
“First Trial Tower, First Level: 10,000 Blood Haired Mammoths.
Each Blood Haired Mammoth killed grants one point. Killing all 10,000 grants 10,000 points and results in direct teleportation to the second level.
If you fail to kill them all, surviving for ten days will result in direct teleportation to the second level.
Death means the end of the trial.”
There was also a countdown timer around the edge of the screen on his arm. Clearly, once the ten days were up, he would be teleported directly.
“Just as I thought.” Luo Feng smiled. “Then let’s begin!”
……
In reality.
Mars, Solar System.
A Golden Horned Beast more than ten metres long raised its head and let out an excited cry.
“Woo!”
It then instantly transformed into numerous phantom images of the Golden Horned Beast and continued studying the secret technique Absolute Space.
As a darling of space, studying spatial secret techniques was an absolute pleasure for the Mosha Clan clone. The sensation was simply wonderful.
In the Virtual Universe, 1008 Immortal existences were sitting casually around the central square.
The elimination trials within the trial spaces were not broadcast publicly throughout the entire universe. Only changes to the ranking list were made public. The final arena battles, however, would be broadcast publicly.
However, the Immortal existences from the various universe countries had the authority to watch the trials of every participant.
“This Berlan really is ruthless. He rushed straight to first place.”
“Indeed!”
“So fast. Berlan’s points are rising at an astonishing rate. He has left second place far behind.”
“Thirteen, your Ganwu Universe Country’s Rong Jun is also doing quite well. His current ranking is 12th.”
The 1008 powerful Immortal existences could easily view the ranking list and watch the trials. They represented their respective universe countries, so naturally, they all hoped that the geniuses from their own universe country would shine more brightly. That would give them face.
For these existences who had lived for eternal ages, face and dignity were extremely important.
“Not bad.” The giant in scale armour and battle robes nodded slightly as he sat in his broad chair, looking at the screen in front of him.
“Rong Jun.”
He directly opened Rong Jun’s current trial broadcast.
The wild man youth was walking barefoot, his steps strange and unbelievably fast. He held a battle blade in his hand and recklessly slashed at the winged, furry, three eyed lion like monsters, the fierce beasts known as Flying Hou.
A rare smile appeared on the face of the giant in scale armour and battle robes.
“Hmm?” His brows furrowed slightly, and killing intent emerged from him. “This Luo Feng……”
He had not noticed Luo Feng’s name near the front of the ranking list. In his estimation, Luo Feng should at least have been able to break into the top 10,000.
He immediately opened the list of participants from his Ganwu Universe Country and instantly saw Luo Feng’s name.
“Luo Feng, Ganwu Universe Country, Ranking: 1,006,891.”
A fierce and murderous aura immediately emerged from the eyes of the giant in scale armour and battle robes.
“What is this little idiot doing?”
The giant in scale armour and battle robes opened Luo Feng’s broadcast. What he saw immediately made him frown.
“He isn’t making any effort at all. Has this fellow mistaken the trial space for a place to train?”
Indeed.
Not only were the Golden Horned Beast and Mosha Clan clone cultivating, even Luo Feng’s original body was continuously absorbing some of the insights comprehended by the two clones and integrating them into his own combat, constantly strengthening himself.
First building, first level, second level……
He stayed for the full ten days at every level, only killing the final target when the countdown was about to end.
Clearly, among the million geniuses, Luo Feng was not the only one doing this. Many geniuses also wanted to use as much time as possible during the relatively simple early stages to strengthen themselves.
That was why Luo Feng was not ranked last.
But he was close.
He was roughly among the last one or two thousand.
……
Sixty days later.
Boom!
Luo Feng was teleported into the seventh level of the first trial tower.
“In the previous sixth level, they actually arranged the starry sky behemoth, Cang.” Luo Feng recalled the previous level with a sigh. He then lowered his head and looked at the screen on his wrist.
“First Trial Tower, Seventh Level: Insect Race Mother Nest.
Destroying the Insect Race Mother Nest grants 10,000 points and results in direct teleportation to the first level of the second trial tower.
Insect Race Mother Nest: In reality, even the weakest Insect Race Mother Nest is comparable to a World Lord. Many are even comparable to Immortal existences. The Insect Race Mother Nest in this trial tower has had its strength reduced proportionally to suit the trial participants.
Recommendation: Destroy the Insect Race Mother Nest as early as possible. The later you wait, the more numerous and powerful the Insect Race it gives birth to will become!”
Boom!
The space in the seventh level suddenly transformed into an endless desert.
In the centre of the desert, on a patch of green land, there was a huge sphere approximately sixty metres in diameter. The surface of the sphere was covered with bumps and depressions, while it naturally emitted poisonous gases. Some poisonous liquid even flowed from its body.
“An Insect Race Mother Nest?” Luo Feng’s eyes widened.
“Earth, Earth…… Shennongjia……”
Luo Feng suddenly remembered one of the three great forbidden places on Earth, the terrifying and mysterious sphere in Shennongjia. Even Babata had forbidden him from touching that thing.
