Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island, Nine Star Bay Residential District.
Luo Feng and Hong both appeared on the grass outside their home. At this moment, Thunder God shouted, “Third Brother, Big Brother, you’re finally here. Hurry and look up!”
“What’s with all the fuss?” Hong laughed as he glanced at him, then looked up.
Luo Feng also looked up in confusion.
In the sky, an incomparably huge announcement seemed to cover the entire sky like a curtain.
“Peak Genius Battle?” Hong’s pupils contracted, and a sharp glint flashed through his eyes.
“Billions of geniuses from all the universe countries throughout the entire universe competing against each other?” Luo Feng looked at the contents of the announcement and could not help taking a sharp breath. Crazy, this was simply too crazy. How vast was the universe?
Even without talking about the entire universe, a single Qian Wu Universe Country alone had over a hundred million star systems.
If the number one genius from every star system were gathered together, there would be over a hundred million geniuses in the entire universe country!
“Interesting.” Luo Feng narrowed his eyes, and a strong desire rose within his heart.
“Big Brother, Third Brother.” Thunder God walked over and pointed beside him. A screen immediately appeared out of thin air. It displayed the ‘Virtual Universe Company Official Website’, and on the homepage was an extremely prominent special section titled ‘Human Race of the Universe, Peak Genius Battle’.
“Open it and take a look,” Hong said.
“Alright.” Thunder God gently tapped the screen and opened the special section.
After opening it, there was a detailed introduction to the ‘Human Race of the Universe, Peak Genius Battle’.
The Peak Genius Battle was open to all Stellar-level humans.
As long as you were a Stellar-level human, you could register and participate!
Strictly speaking, the ‘Peak Genius Battle’ was held once every five thousand years, twice within ten thousand years. One was organised by Virtual Universe Company, and the other by the Giant Axe Dojo. Therefore, to Virtual Universe Company, this Peak Genius Battle was naturally the grand event their company held once every ten thousand years.
“Hm?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.
The Peak Genius Battle was divided into the Universe Country Selection Battle and the Peak Final Battle.
Each universe country would conduct its own internal selection, after which the elites would be chosen to participate in the Peak Final Battle for the entire human race of the universe.
The final battle would determine the ultimate rankings.
“The top 1,000 in the entire universe will receive three rewards. First, depending on their ranking, they will receive prize money ranging from 10 Chaos Units to 10,000 Chaos Units. Second, they will receive a place to enter the Primal Universe and comprehend its mysteries. Third, they can become a ‘core member’ within Virtual Universe Company.”
Luo Feng was shocked.
As long as one ranked among the top one thousand, the minimum reward would be 10 Chaos Units, which was comparable to everything he had gained in the World Within a World. The highest reward was 10,000 Chaos Units. It was probably given to the number one genius in the entire Genius Battle. 10,000 Chaos Units were already comparable to the entire wealth of an Immortal.
Virtual Universe Company truly was incredibly wealthy.
“All one thousand people can enter the Primal Universe?” Luo Feng could not forget the scene at the Qian Wu Auction when people had fought over a single place to enter the Primal Universe for comprehension. Even his teacher had never entered the Primal Universe.
“The conditions are pretty good. Prize money, entry into the Primal Universe, core membership… Hmm, these conditions are worthy of the super geniuses in the top 1,000,” Babata said. “Luo Feng, this is a good opportunity. You should give it a try.”
“What do you mean by ‘give it a try’?” Luo Feng retorted. “From the way you’re talking, it seems that it would be difficult for me to enter the top 1,000?”
“What do you mean by difficult?”
“Luo Feng, you really underestimate the countless geniuses in the universe! Forget about the top 1,000 in the entire universe. That would be far too difficult for you, almost impossible. Even if you can enter the top 1,000 in the Qian Wu Universe Country alone, that would already be quite impressive,” Babata said.
“Uh…” Luo Feng was stunned.
“Although Immortal experts are extremely rare in the universe, when all the universe countries are combined, there are billions of Stellar-level geniuses who are disciples of Immortal experts! In terms of talent, there are countless people with powerful bloodlines and extraordinary innate gifts. In terms of comprehension, the universe has an incalculable population, so how could there not be people with astonishing comprehension? As for those with strong willpower who work hard and train diligently, there are even more.”
“Your greatest trump card is that you possess the Golden Horned Beast body. It gives you extremely powerful willpower and also lowers the threshold for you to comprehend laws.”
“But with just these things, if you want to enter the top 1,000 in the final ranking of the billions of geniuses throughout the universe, you are still far from it.”
Babata changed his tone and continued, “Of course, you have already worked extremely hard. Although the Golden Horned Beast gives you sufficient talent, there is still a huge difference between Golden Horned Beasts. Your Golden Horned Beast trains extremely hard. To reach the fifth level of Domain in less than three years, your own effort is the main factor.”
“People like your Big Brother are older than your grandfather! And many Stellar-level geniuses in the universe are already several hundred years old.”
“As for Stellar-level experts who have lived for several thousand years, they are actually no threat. If they have not broken through to the Universe Level after several thousand years, they cannot be called ‘geniuses’ at all. Their comprehension and other aspects must be very poor.”
“Your greatest weakness is that your cultivation time is too short. You have not even been cultivating for thirty years.”
Luo Feng fell silent.
“Of course, when your willpower, Domain and law comprehension are combined, you are indeed very strong. At the very least, sweeping through the geniuses of the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield would not be a problem.”
“The top 1,000 in the entire universe is too far away. Fight hard first. If you can enter the top 1,000 in the Qian Wu Universe Country, that will already count as a success,” Babata said.
While the news of the Peak Genius Battle disturbed the minds of the three Luo Feng brothers, countless Stellar-level humans throughout the countless star systems of the vast universe were also filled with an intense desire for the ‘Peak Genius Battle’.
…
This was a vast divine kingdom, with mountains of flames floating throughout it.
At this moment.
A figure seven or eight metres tall stood in mid-air. His hair was crimson, and his entire body seemed to be faintly bathed in flames. Beside him stood a number of World Masters, while more than a thousand young Stellar-level humans were kneeling before him.
“You are the most elite disciples of my ‘Heavenly Fire Divine Kingdom’.”
His magnificent voice, as resounding as thunder, echoed in the ears of the more than one thousand young people.
“As long as any of you can pass the initial selection and enter the arena battle, I will take him as my personal disciple. If anyone can break into the top 1,000 in our universe country, I will grant him an entire star system as his territory!” The divine being within the flames said coldly. “Now go and prepare. Do not disappoint me.”
“Yes, Divine Lord!”
More than one thousand young people respectfully answered.
…
“You carry the glory of my Black Dragon Mountain Empire.”
A low, hoarse voice rang out.
In the Holy Land Black Dragon Mountain, a tall and burly giant wearing black scale armour stood there. A black dragon horn protruded from his forehead. The surrounding space seemed to freeze, while a group of World Masters stood respectfully nearby. In front of this existence, these World Masters did not dare show the slightest disrespect. Even the faintly radiating majestic power alone made their hearts tremble.
“Go. Fight for the glory of my Black Dragon Mountain!”
The divine giant spoke as though he could split heaven and earth apart.
“Yes, Divine Lord.”
Nearly a thousand young Stellar-level humans knelt there, incomparably respectful and visibly excited. Almost all of them were seeing the legendary founding emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, the great Immortal, for the first time.
…
A cyan planet.
Plants flourished throughout the entire planet, and many indigenous people lived there. There was almost no trace of technological civilisation on the planet.
Yet the strength of the martial artists on this planet was extremely powerful. Dozens of Universe-level experts had even been born there, while the number of Stellar-level experts was astonishing. Normally, a planet with such powerful martial strength should have entered the ranks of cosmic civilisations long ago. Unless its geographical location was extremely remote, or it was the territory of a super expert.
Some powerful experts would deliberately cultivate certain planets, allowing them to remain free from technological interference.
“One hundred Stellar-level Nine-ranked martial artists and Spiritual Reader Masters will surround and attack you together shortly,” a bald old man in white robes slowly said.
Standing beside him was a strong, fit young man in white robes, with a blood-coloured longsword strapped to his back.
“Yes.” The young man in white robes nodded slightly.
Soon, a group of Stellar-level Nine-ranked experts flew over from the distance. These martial artists and Spiritual Reader Masters immediately began surrounding the young man in white robes from all sides.
Normally, when fighting multiple opponents alone, one relied on movement techniques and other methods to evade attacks, ensuring that one only faced a small number of opponents at any given moment. To allow oneself to be surrounded and attacked from the very beginning…
That was practically an act of suicide.
“Attack,” the bald old man in white robes ordered indifferently.
“Boom!”
The one hundred Stellar-level Nine-ranked martial artists and Spiritual Reader Masters surrounding the young man in white robes attacked simultaneously. Some used telekinetic weapons, some launched mental attacks, while others attacked with blades and swords.
“Whoosh!”
A blood-coloured sword light suddenly appeared!
The young man in white robes became blurred, while faint afterimages of him appeared around him.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Blood splattered everywhere. The bodies of all one hundred people were either severed or had their heads sent flying.
In an instant, all of them were killed!
“Very good.” The bald old man in white robes’ eyes lit up. “You have improved again compared with before. You are the most extraordinary genius this teacher has encountered while travelling through countless star systems.”
The young man in white robes trembled. His cold eyes looked towards the bald man in white robes, filled with astonishment.
“Teacher, you, you just…” For so long, ever since he had followed this incomparably powerful expert, he had never heard such obvious praise. At most, his teacher would say things like ‘not bad’ or ‘average’.
“There is nothing more I can teach you,” the bald old man in white robes said.
“Teacher, I…” The young man in white robes wanted to say something, but as someone who was not good with words, he did not know what to say for a moment.
“Go and participate in the Universe Genius Battle. With your strength, entering the top 1,000 in the entire universe will be effortless. Only in a place like Virtual Universe Company, where powerful experts are as numerous as clouds, can you find a teacher suitable for teaching a genius like you,” the bald old man in white robes said. “Come and find your teacher again after you become Immortal.”
Whoosh!
The bald old man in white robes disappeared out of thin air.
“Teacher…” The young man in white robes wanted to say something, but stopped. Then he softly muttered, “Genius Battle?”
…
“Genius Battle? Covering the territory of all those universe countries?”
A young, burly man more than three metres tall, with messy hair and bare feet, walked boldly across a desolate mountain range. He carried a short blade on his back and laughed heartily.
“Interesting. I, Tu Man, haven’t encountered an opponent in a very, very long time.”
Far behind him lay the corpse of a first rank Universe-level expert.
…
Throughout the vast universe, the various universe countries, countless divine kingdoms, numerous super geniuses famous throughout their regions, as well as countless ascetic cultivators and wandering martial artists, had all noticed this super battle covering all the universe countries.
In literary pursuits, there is no number one, while in martial pursuits, there is no number two. The more talented and powerful someone was, the less willing they were to submit to others.
Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island, Nine Star Bay Residential District.
Luo Feng, Hong and Thunder God looked at the screen.
“***, Third Brother, are you participating or not?” Hong looked at Luo Feng and Thunder God.
Luo Feng and Thunder God looked at Hong. All three had a strong desire for battle in their eyes.
The three immediately laughed.
“Haha…”
“Let the three of us brothers go and fight as hard as we can.”
The three brothers from Earth were filled with confidence and heroic spirit.
