When Luo Feng returned to his residence, he was still deeply shocked. It took him a long while to calm down.
“Hmm? How does that savage Rong Jun know so much?” A thought suddenly occurred to Luo Feng. “He actually knows quite a lot about the four secret realms of Virtual Universe Company. It seems his background is not ordinary either.”
This time, the two people from the Qianwu Universe Country who made it into the top 1,000, Luo Feng and Rong Jun, had both emerged from their respective star regions.
On the surface, they seemed to have no background.
In reality, Luo Feng had inherited the lineage of the Meteorite Ink Star and was also a Golden Horned Beast.
As for the savage Rong Jun, his true identity and background were clearly far from ordinary.
On Earth, inside the castle at West Lake Courtyard in Yangzhou City.
Sitting in the tea room, Luo Feng poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. His consciousness was communicating with Babata.
“Babata, what exactly are the four secret realms of Virtual Universe Company?”
Luo Feng told Babata everything Rong Jun had told him earlier. He also told Babata the rules of this decisive battle, as well as what had happened earlier in the central plaza.
“Those idiots actually dared to doubt the Virtual Universe System? Good heavens, have their brains been flooded? The Virtual Universe System is an incredible existence capable of simulating all kinds of Origin Laws!” Babata screamed.
“Er…” Luo Feng was speechless.
Babata was clearly on the side of the Virtual Universe System.
“Hmm, that savage Rong Jun was right! Members of the Primordial Secret Realm really do have an extremely high status.” Babata said. “For Virtual Universe Company, every person who can enter the Primordial Secret Realm is an incredibly rare peerless genius in the entire universe. Therefore, Virtual Universe Company will spend enormous amounts of precious resources to nurture them.”
“How many resources? More than my teacher’s wealth?” Luo Feng asked.
“Luo Feng, you need to understand one thing.” Babata said seriously. “Your teacher is indeed an extremely powerful undying. Even the Black Dragon Mountain Empire has to bow its head before him! However, your teacher is simply not on the same level as the Qianwu Country Leader.”
Luo Feng nodded.
The Qianwu Country Leader was an ancient existence who had overseen and established an entire universe country and had survived for countless years.
“And yet even the Qianwu Country Leader has to take Virtual Universe Company’s attitude into consideration!” Babata said. “Among the 1,008 universe countries, who would dare offend Virtual Universe Company? That is the true colossal existence! For such a colossal existence to nurture geniuses of the Primordial Secret Realm, there must be a strict plan, and their numbers are pitifully small. The resources and wealth spent on them… how could they possibly compare with your teacher’s assets?”
Luo Feng fell silent.
“You need to broaden your horizons! You need to look further ahead. Don’t limit yourself to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and don’t limit yourself to a single universe country. Instead, look at the entire universe!”
“Actually, I know that from the day you successfully possessed the Golden Horned Beast, the path you are destined to walk has become far more distant and unfathomable than the path your teacher walked.” Babata said. “Of course, as far as I know, entering the Primordial Secret Realm is not a once and for all arrangement. There is a competitive system. The weak will be kicked out of the Primordial Secret Realm, while there may be some supreme geniuses in the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm who can fight their way into the Primordial Secret Realm.”
“So!”
“If you want to enjoy the very best resources, you have to keep working hard. There are countless supreme geniuses behind you watching your position. The moment you become complacent, you may be driven down by someone else.”
Luo Feng felt his blood begin to boil.
Expectation!
Yes, this was the kind of life he had been looking forward to. Those with ability rose to the top, while those without ability fell behind. It was as simple as that!
“Babata, I still don’t quite understand… Even when a member of the Primordial Secret Realm is only at the Stellar level, they can already obtain a guard force, and the leader of that guard force is an undying existence.” Luo Feng said. “No matter what, that is an undying, a great undying!”
“Yes, undying beings are indeed great!” Babata said.
“But members of the Primordial Secret Realm are also great existences.”
“Luo Feng, let me explain it to you this way…” Babata said. “What determines one’s status is not merely combat power. Many other factors have to be considered. For example, Virtual Universe Company also has people responsible for business. Some of those business geniuses and investment geniuses have very low combat power, yet they can still possess extremely high status. Take the investment genius ‘Fate’ from the First Universal Bank. The amount of capital under his control is an unimaginably huge figure. Although his combat power is extremely weak, he still has an undying existence serving as his butler to protect him.”
Luo Feng was stunned.
“The same principle applies.”
“Take the ‘Death God’ Bolan, for example. Yes, he is weak right now. But you need to understand… he can be called the number one genius of the entire human race in the universe over the past ten million years! There has only been one such person in ten million years. Ten million years is roughly the lifespan of a World Lord, and there are millions of World Lords in each of the 1,008 universe countries. Calculate it yourself. How many World Lords would the entire human race produce over ten million years?”
Luo Feng held his breath.
“The Death God Bolan’s rarity and his lofty status can be imagined!”
“Everyone who enters the Primordial Secret Realm is one of Virtual Universe Company’s most important elites! They are its foundation.” Babata sighed. “Comprehending the Origin Laws is easiest during the World Lord stage. Yet during the much more difficult Stellar level stage, Death God Bolan has already reached such a level in the Origin Law of Space. Just think about it… how high will his future achievements be?”
“There is no doubt about it!”
“As long as he does not fall.”
“Then in terms of the Law of Space, he will definitely surpass your teacher! Once he becomes an undying, he will be a peak existence among undying beings, almost invincible.” Babata exclaimed. “And the Law of Space is one of the two most difficult Origin Laws. If he can become an undying, he will truly be terrifying. You must remember… there are huge differences between undying beings. That is why the World Lord Time had such ambitions.”
“Unfortunately, World Lord Time failed. If he had succeeded and become an undying existence, his strength might have approached your teacher’s.”
“Of course!”
“The core members of Virtual Universe Company are divided into four secret realms. From highest to lowest, they are Primordial, Absolute Beginning, Heaven and Earth, and Apocalypse. Many undying beings are in the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm. Don’t set your sights too high. Being able to enter the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm would already count as a success. Moreover, what matters most to you right now… is dealing with your first opponent, Utviesk!”
Luo Feng raised his teacup and drained it in one gulp.
Utviesk was the opponent he would be facing tomorrow.
The next morning.
One thousand peerless geniuses gathered in the central plaza.
Luo Feng stood among the crowd and glanced at the tall, three eyed young man in the distance. The three eyed young man’s face was gloomy and he remained silent. Clearly, yesterday’s setback had dealt him quite a blow.
“Your Excellency!”
The 1,008 undying beings in the distance respectfully saluted.
“Hmm.”
The purple scaled man in blue battle armour floating in mid air nodded slightly. He then looked down at the 1,000 young people and spoke.
“Today is a good day. Within a single day, we will select the top one hundred, the top ten, the first place and the second place from among the 1,000 of you.”
“Are you all ready? Then the decisive battles begin now!”
The purple scaled man in blue battle armour looked down at everyone and waved his hand.
One hundred enormous arenas immediately appeared in the central plaza. Each arena was surrounded and covered by a black mesh. At the same time, 200 young men and women, including the savage Rong Jun and Phantom Demon Galesi, were directly teleported into the arenas.
There were two people in each arena.
Immediately, most of the powerful undying beings and the genius elites who were not qualified to participate focused their attention on the battle involving the Death God Bolan.
In one of the arenas, the combatants were Luo Feng and Utviesk!
The silver white arena was about ten kilometres across, with a black mesh covering the entire arena.
“‘Madman’ Luo Feng, from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire of the Qianwu Universe Country, ranked third in the trials, famous for his madness under extreme calmness.”
A thin young man with an entirely black body and thick lips stared coldly at Luo Feng in the distance and shouted, “My trial ranking was 113. I will let you know that trial rankings mean nothing!”
“Enough nonsense!” Luo Feng, carrying his dark golden long staff and standing on the Dark Cloud Shuttle, shouted from high in the air.
“Very good!” The thin young man grinned. “Once I defeat you, I will be able to enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm. After defeating one more opponent, I will be able to enter the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm!”
Whoosh!
A gust of wind swept up as the thin young man transformed into a streak of wind and flew towards Luo Feng. He seemed slow, but was actually incredibly fast.
Luo Feng stood on the Dark Cloud Shuttle and looked down at his opponent from mid air. One piece of information after another flashed through his mind.
Utviesk, nicknamed ‘Wild Wind’, used the fifth tier Force Weapon, the Phantom Sword. His sword attacks were extremely fast in battle, blending into the violent wind and striking from every direction. They were ferocious and extremely difficult to defend against.
“Die.”
A sharp glint flashed through the thin young man’s eyes.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The thin young man, who had still been moving like the wind, suddenly accelerated dramatically. At the same time, the Phantom Sword in his hand instantly transformed into a surging violent wind. Endless sword lights gathered together, forming a storm that swept across the entire world. The storm of sword light completely enveloped Luo Feng, leaving him nowhere to hide.
“Hmph!” Luo Feng snorted coldly.
The Dark Cloud Shuttle instantly traced a mysterious trajectory. Within the seemingly seamless storm of sword light, it forcibly found gaps and left behind nine phantom bodies. The thin young man’s expression changed slightly.
“He can even escape from that? The intelligence describing his ‘Nine Line Flow’ really is frightening.”
The moment Luo Feng evaded his opponent’s attack, the dark golden long staff behind him immediately shot out five streams of golden light. They combined into five golden weapons that appeared in mid air.
“Go!” Luo Feng stared coldly at his opponent as though he were looking at a dead man.
Wrapped in golden airflow, they seemed like five golden dragons roaring as they pierced towards the thin young man at the centre of the storm.
“Die!” The thin young man’s face became savage, and there was a trace of yearning in his eyes.
Whoosh!
With a flick of his hand, he shot out a streak of white light.
The white light instantly crossed several hundred metres and arrived in front of Luo Feng. It was actually faster than the golden weapon.
Luo Feng’s expression changed. He immediately pushed the Dark Cloud Shuttle with all his strength, causing it to burst forth at its maximum speed, while 16 shields automatically appeared around his body.
