Devour: Emperor Yan

100 qualifying world zones.

All participants can only fly to a height of about nine thousand meters. Above that, there will be an invisible barrier.

Beyond this barrier lies a vast emptiness.

If you look down from a higher altitude, the 100 world zones look like 100 bubble balls floating there.

At this moment, in the vast emptiness, spaceships were slowly flying.

These are all sightseeing ships.

Luo Feng's family members were seated in a private compartment on one of the spaceships.

"This battle of geniuses isn't being broadcast."

Xu Xin's brother, Xu Gang, said, "To watch the preliminary battles, you have to come to the skies above this world zone and take a spaceship to get a bird's-eye view, and the fee is so expensive. This virtual universe really knows how to make money."

"Brother, it's normal not to broadcast it," Xu Xin said with a smile. "On average, over 82 billion people are playing simultaneously in a single world region. How can we broadcast it?"

Through location simulation.

They sat in their cabin on the spaceship, and could see the world below them just by looking down.

It also allows for zooming in and out, providing a clear view of the appearance of each participant on the continent below, in cities, and in the wilderness.

Of course, if the other party is hiding inside a building, then they cannot be seen.

"Mom, Dad and Uncle Lin's rankings keep dropping." Xiao Hai bit his lip.

He was holding a screen with four rankings: World Zone 1, World Zone 72, World Zone 88, and World Zone 99.

They locked onto Luo Feng, Hong, Lei Shen, and Lin Kun in these four world zones respectively.

"Uncle Lin's ranking rose very quickly at first, reaching over 800,000th place in one go, but then it kept dropping."

Xiao Hai frowned and said, "And Dad, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle are now ranked after ten millionth."

"That's called conserving strength," Xiaoping said. "Dad and Uncle Lin had already discussed it from the beginning. We should try to avoid the chaotic early period as much as possible. Besides, killing one person doesn't earn many points, so it's a thankless task... We'll really unleash our power later."

"Yes, Uncle Lin said this is called the 'pig-raising strategy'!" Xiao Hai nodded vigorously, then added, "It's called tactics and strategy, not that we're afraid of those people."

"Yes, it's not that we're afraid. Dad and Uncle Lin are the strongest! Second Uncle and Third Uncle are also very good. They will definitely win." Xiaoping immediately chimed in.

"Ha ha......"

The child's innocent words made the adults around him burst into laughter.

Xiao Hai and Xiao Ping, the two little ones, kept their heads down, their eyes glued to the screen in their hands without blinking.

At this time, whether it was Lin Kun, Luo Feng, Hong, or Lei Shen, their rankings were insignificant, all below the millionth or ten millionth place.

But the two little ones were very confident, because they often eavesdropped on Lin Kun and the others' conversations.

They knew about their father and three uncles' plans.

......

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

99 World Zone.

The mountains stretch endlessly, and the forests are dense.

At the top of a large tree, Lin Kun sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

The surroundings remained unchanged from half a month ago.

The fallen tree, the ground littered with broken branches and leaves, many severed corpses, scattered weapons...

The only difference is that there seem to be more corpses than there were two weeks ago.

This area seemed to be an absolute no-go zone for life.

And that is indeed the case.

Over the past two weeks, some participants have entered this area.

But these people never left.

......

a moment.

Lin Kun slowly opened his eyes.

"It's been half a month, the time should be about right."

He whispered.

For the past two weeks, he has been staying here, focusing most of his attention on comprehending the laws.

Unless someone deliberately approaches him or attacks him, Lin Kun is too lazy to make a move.

I looked down at the screen on my wrist.

The screen displays Lin Kun's current points and ranking.

Points: 1365.

Rank: 7964048.

"There are over seven million, nearly eight million people with more points than me," Lin Kun said with a slight smile.

So many fat sheep!

Nearly eight million.

Half a month has passed, and the entire qualifiers are already halfway through.

The most chaotic and chaotic period has long since passed.

Those who are still alive are all quite strong and have a lot of points.

"That's fine."

"Let the hunt begin!"

Lin Kun slowly stood up and looked around.

Soon, he chose a direction, and with a flash, he disappeared from the spot, reappearing more than a hundred meters away.

Over this hundred-meter stretch, countless blurry figures left a straight afterimage in the air.

Then it flew forward rapidly.

Lin Kun wants to leave this mountainous jungle environment and go to a big city.

That's where the most participants gather.

Because the number of people decreases over time.

The remaining contestants, all of whom wanted to continue climbing the rankings, tacitly converged on the city's location.

Moreover, the strong among them usually prefer to seek out opponents, or... prey, there.

This was exactly what Lin Kun wanted.

There are a total of 99 cities in this world zone, and he plans to sweep through them one by one from beginning to end.

Until one's ranking reaches number one in the world region and is far ahead.

......

huh~

Lin Kun flew over the dense forest, streaking across like a swift streak of light.

Ok?

Suddenly he turned his head, glancing down at something out of the corner of his eye.

Clang!

He drew his sword and slashed it out with a casual stroke.

A semi-circular blade of light flashed out, disappearing in the void before heading straight into the jungle below.

As the blade's edge passed, the branches, leaves, and tree trunks that tried to block its path were cut through it as easily as tofu.

Lin Kun's flying speed did not decrease at all, and he quickly disappeared into the distance, turning into a small black dot on the horizon in the blink of an eye.

The spot where the blade's edge had swept past.

Wow~

A large tree, with its canopy-like green crown, suddenly tilted and slowly slid down, leaving a perfectly smooth break.

Along with half of the tree canopy being split in two, there was also a contestant hidden within, surrounded by hundreds of small blades, which now fell down with a whoosh.

This contestant had previously hidden in the lush canopy of trees with B9-level hardness and toughness, using the branches and leaves to conceal his figure, intending to use his telekinetic weapon to ambush Lin Kun who was passing by.

However, he had barely made a move when his body was instantly swept away by the blade's edge.

It was too fast! So fast that his consciousness couldn't even react.

It wasn't until his consciousness was kicked out of the virtual universe that he realized he was dead.

......

Lin Kun wouldn't normally bother with contestants who were still hiding in the jungle and dared not go to the city.

Because these kinds of people are basically just slackers, their strength is generally average, and they don't have many points.

These kinds of people are all about participation. They've come to terms with rankings and such, and they've come to terms with reality, no longer chasing after anything.

Their attitude of not getting involved in the city is an indication of their resignation.

Lin Kun wouldn't make things difficult for such a "Buddhist-like" person; he would simply let them enjoy the remaining two weeks.

But if they take the initiative, Lin Kun wouldn't mind sending them out ahead of time.

......

huh~

After flying for about half a day, I also took care of a few people along the way who I wanted to give up on but hadn't quite given up on completely.

Finally, beyond a lush green boundary, a modern metropolis came into Lin Kun's view.

Swish!

Reaching the edge where the greenery meets the city, Lin Kun stopped and stood atop a large tree, gazing into the distance.

A kilometer ahead, a winding river stretched out, acting as a boundary separating the city from the jungle.

On this side of the river lies an endless, lush forest.

On the other side is a huge, modern metropolis, where towering skyscrapers stand like a forest, reaching into the clouds.

It seems that the difference between primitive wilderness and modern prosperity is only a thin line.

Two completely different worlds, yet they appear in the same frame.

Such a spectacular sight cannot help but evoke awe and wonder.
