High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

"Celestial Realm... Hero Ranking... Over ten thousand..."

Su Jie licked his dry lips, feeling his blood tingling slightly.

"What if I kill him instantly?"

"quiet."

The voice of the Spirit of Rules rang out again, silencing all the commotion.

The rules are as follows:

[I. Everyone will be teleported to the 'Hive Territory'.]

[II. Within the territory, defeating Zerg units spawned by Blade Lord Cain will earn basic points. The stronger the Zerg unit, the higher the points.]

[III. Damaging its main body or core hive will earn a large number of points based on the amount of damage.]

[IV. The final ranking will be determined by the total points. The champion will receive 500 billion Glory Points.]

[V. During the battle, life and death are irrelevant, and methods are unrestricted. However, the use of one-time forbidden artifacts exceeding the upper limit of the Divine Treasure Realm is prohibited.]

[VI. The battle will continue until—the Zerg hive area automatically dissipates, or all players are eliminated.]

[Teleportation initiation.]

No one was given time to react.

A hundred beams of light shone simultaneously, enveloping all the prodigies in the preparation zone.

The next moment, the world spun around.

When Su Jie opened his eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar world.

The sky was dark red, like silk stained with blood.

The earth was covered with a layer of dark purple fungal carpet that was constantly wriggling and secreting mucus.

The air was filled with a pungent, sour, and putrid odor, mixed with a certain... sweet and pungent smell of life multiplying wildly.

This is the "Hive Domain" of that celestial being from the Zerg.

The hundred prodigies are currently scattered throughout this area.

"Is this... the Zerg's Celestial Realm?" A prodigy from the Plant Spirit Clan asked, his face pale. He was most sensitive to life force.

"I feel... this land, this sky, are 'devouring' my life force!"

Everyone's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the other side of the battlefield, about a thousand miles away, where a figure stood quietly.

He was about three zhang tall, his entire body covered in dark gold armor with flowing patterns of laws. His humanoid torso was connected by grotesque joints that resembled insects, and his compound eyes reflected a cold and ruthless light.

However, what truly sent chills down one's spine was the terrifying spectacle behind him that swallowed half the sky.

A pulsating, dark golden, fleshy nest-like phantom slowly beats like the heart of a living creature.

Nine magnificent, slowly rotating dark gold halos, like stars surrounding the lair, encircled the creature.

The Mother Nest of Ten Thousand Insects, a sacred ring of nine laws.

This is the unique mark of a Celestial Realm expert: the divine treasure origin communicates with heaven and earth, and the unique Dharma form that is transformed is the embodiment of its original power and rules.

法相品质亦有高下之分，在诸天万界通常被划分为：凡级（一阶提供10源基础战力加成）、灵级（20源）、地级（50源）、天级（100源）、圣级（300源）、神级（1000源），以及那至高的超神级（1万源）。

The quality of this Dharma image has reached a terrifying god-level—meaning that it possessed a horrifying base combat power bonus of one thousand sources as soon as it condensed into a Dharma image.

The nine "holy rings" surrounding it represent another power: the manifestation of the power of fragments of law.

After a being in the Celestial Realm condenses fragments of laws within its Sacred Soul, it can invoke the baptism of the rules of heaven and earth, inscribing the power of the law fragments onto its Dharma Form, manifesting different levels of law halos.

The two-colored "Holy Rings" mean that each one originates from a fragment of a higher law, and a single ring provides a bonus of one thousand sources.

The nine sacred rings signify that he has mastered nine fragments of superior laws.

The number of halos a Dharma Form can bear depends on its quality and rank. The initial Dharma Form is rank one, and its rank can be increased by consuming a cosmic artifact called "Source Matter".

The higher the quality of the Dharma Form, the more source matter is required to upgrade its rank, up to a maximum of the ninth rank.

However, if one's foundation in Dharma is insufficient, even reaching the ninth level will be futile.

Even if a mortal-level Dharma Image is upgraded to the ninth rank, its basic combat power is only 90 Yuan.

With such a weak foundation, it cannot even withstand the baptism of the most basic law fragments, and will never be able to condense even a single law halo.

Only Dharma forms of the Heavenly level and above truly possess the growth qualifications and potential of "one halo per rank, nine halos per rank".

At this moment, this ninth-order divine dharma form, equipped with nine superior law holy rings, has a base combat power bonus that has reached a terrifying level of 18,000 sources (9000 sources for the ninth-order dharma form + 9000 sources for the nine law holy rings).

This is not merely an accumulation of strength, but a symbol of perfect foundation, resources, and understanding.

This is the true form of the Celestial Realm of all races, and it is also the source of Kahn's confidence in ranking among the top 20,000 of the "List of Heroes of the Heavens".

The nine dark gold holy rings slowly rotated, emanating a cold Daoist aura of devouring, immortality, destruction, space, regeneration, splitting, poison, void, and nest, as if nine insurmountable barriers of law were protecting him at the core of his power.

The reason why the Celestial Phenomenon Realm overwhelms the Divine Treasury Realm is not only due to the leap in energy level, but also due to the qualitative change brought about by the combination of "Dharma Form" and "Law".

The Dharma Form is the carrier of power, and the Sacred Ring is the extension of rules. Only by combining the two can the power of heaven and earth be mobilized to form true domain suppression.

At this moment, the dual domain suppression originating from the ninth-order divine dharma form and the nine holy rings is truly taking effect on every prodigy.

What is even more direct and soul-chilling is another tyrannical will that descends—cold and aloof, like an invisible icy tide washing over everyone's sacred soul.

"Ugh!" Many people groaned and swayed slightly.

"Seventh-order...Peak Saint Soul!" Jin Xuan gritted his teeth, his body radiating intense golden light as he resisted the terrifying pressure emanating from the soul level.

Only a Saint Soul that has reached such a height can, through sheer pressure, make these proud and arrogant geniuses clearly taste their own insignificance and powerlessness, like ants.

Kahn's complex eyes slowly rotated, reflecting the figures of a hundred prodigies. His cold will swept across the entire arena, and finally, his mechanical and emotionless voice rang out:

My name is Kahn.

The Zerg lord spoke, his voice cold and mechanical, devoid of any emotion. The nine holy rings of law slowly rotated, making him appear like a god descended to earth.

"By order of Mother Nest Heaven, I will be your final trial. I will not use the power of my Holy Soul to attack you; you only need to survive, kill, and attack within my swarm of insects. The final score will be calculated based on points."

He paused, and the figures of a hundred prodigies were simultaneously reflected in the myriad crystal faces of his compound eyes.

"Now--"

"start."

The moment he finished speaking, the "Nest" and "Split" halos among the nine divine rings behind him suddenly burst forth with dazzling light!

Rumbling--
