Chapter 115 Absolute Control

"What a powerful 'spatial cutting' technique! No wonder it's the fifth level." Luo Yuan was secretly amazed. He had mastered several strands of the Ten Great Fundamental Laws at the same time, which contained indestructible characteristics, making the totem golden pillar extremely difficult to destroy.

call out!

The silver-armored man's dark gold longsword once again slashed through the sky.

Luo Yuan's face turned cold: "Nine-Bend Linked Rings!"

Rumble~~~ The totem golden pillar shot forward in mid-air, as if a giant was wielding it and slamming it forward. The totem golden pillar crashed into the dark golden longsword that was trying to dodge. With a loud bang, the dark golden afterimage flew backward, and the totem golden pillar also trembled slightly.

"Hmm?" The silver-armored man's expression changed. "Blocked it again?"

call out!

The dark golden longsword once again transformed into afterimages, causing the space to tremble slightly, and with blurry afterimages, it pierced towards Luo Yuan once more.

"Boom!" A long afterimage appeared in mid-air from the totem golden pillar, and at the same time, 'slowly' appeared in front of the extremely fast dark golden longsword, colliding with it once again.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dark golden longsword transformed into streaks of golden phantoms, like fish in space, darting towards Luo Yuan time and time again. The totem golden pillar, however, strangely intercepted the dark golden longswords with a seemingly slow and deliberate motion. Each time they collided, the totem golden pillar managed to remain intact.

"How could it be so fast?" The silver-armored man frowned.

"With me at the center, within a radius of 500, this is the absolute control area of ​​my Totem Golden Pillar!" Luo Yuan, riding the Dark Cloud Shuttle, suddenly charged towards the silver-armored man in the distance. "Yes, absolute control!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The totem golden pillars instantly seemed to transform into nine totem golden pillars, intercepting the dark golden longsword time and again within a spherical area with a radius of 500 meters.

"Die!" Luo Yuan controlled the totem golden pillar to block his opponent's dark gold longsword while quickly closing in. Only when the two were close enough to pull his opponent into his 'absolute control range' could he easily kill him by controlling the totem golden pillar!

"Hmm?" The silver-armored man's expression changed. He immediately stepped onto the Dark Cloud Shuttle, and with a whoosh, nearly a thousand illusory bodies appeared in mid-air and fled far away.

"I admit you're strong, but you think you can defeat me so easily? Dream on!" the silver-armored man roared telepathically. His eyes, blazing with fury, fixed on the golden totem pillar not far from Luo Yuan, and he growled, "Break!!!"

Suddenly, the dark golden longsword, which had been moving at an extremely fast and unpredictable speed and repeatedly trying to bypass the totem golden pillar, stopped choosing to 'bypass the totem golden pillar' and instead chose to 'destroy the totem golden pillar'!

"Boom!" The dark golden longsword transformed into a golden laser beam, crashing wildly into the totem pillar. The impact caused numerous golden threads on the pillar's surface to break, and the small golden swords to disintegrate and float. This caused Luo Yuan, who had been so confident, to change his expression: "Not good!"

"Boom!" The golden sword tip pierced the totem pillar fiercely. Luo Yuan felt his consciousness tremble violently. The side of the totem pillar that was resisting almost completely collapsed. Luo Yuan could only frantically consume his mental power and try again to make the totem pillar condense and form.

"I don't believe you can hold on forever. Even if your mind can hold on, I don't believe you can't exhaust your mental energy!" the silver-armored man roared.

"Reunite!" Luo Yuan gritted his teeth, his indomitable spirit driving him to once again coalesce into the totem golden pillar.

"Congeal!"

A vast amount of mental energy, like countless tiny hands, grasped the scattered thousands of golden swords and, based on the profound understanding of the fundamental laws of space and metal, reassembled them into the 'Totem Golden Pillar,' with each strand of golden thread containing the power of the laws extending outwards.

"Die!" Luo Yuan pointed at the silver-armored man in the distance. The totem pillar began to rumble and roll, and the surrounding space seemed to be flattened like a pancake.

"Bang!" The dark golden sword from afar crashed down again, but its speed decreased strangely as it approached the totem pillar. By the time it struck the totem pillar, its power had been greatly reduced.

"How is this possible?" The silver-armored man in the distance was filled with shock; he was about to be defeated.

hum~

When Luo Yuan's totem pillar was only 0.01 centimeters away from the silver-armored man's head, it suddenly stopped steadily. The powerful wind pressure ripped off the silver-armored man's scalp, ruptured his eardrums, and shattered his mask, revealing a pale and terrified young man's face. The young man's head was somewhat bloody and mangled. He slumped helplessly on the ground, still not recovered from the fear of death.

After a while, the silver-armored youth raised his head, staring intently at Luo Yuan, who was standing in the void, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What kind of monster are you? I have been practicing the Divine Weapon for three hundred years to reach the fifth level, and I still can't beat you, who is only at the fourth level of the Divine Weapon. Moreover, your realm is so much lower than mine."

Luo Yuan slowly landed on the ground, looking at the silver-armored man in front of him with some helplessness. He was a man with cheat codes, which was hard to explain. In fact, this silver-armored man also deserved the reputation of a peerless genius.

"Do you know why I called myself the Demon King, and why I made a pact beforehand that no one was allowed to admit defeat or commit suicide?" Luo Yuan said with a smile.

The silver-armored youth shook his head, somewhat bewildered.

"You'll find out next."

After Luo Yuan finished speaking, he had a thought, and four chains formed from the primal energies of the ten major attributes appeared out of thin air from the ground, then firmly bound the limbs of the silver-armored youth. Then, the 1600 small golden swords on the Divine Weapon began to relentlessly whip the youth.

Ah ~

A series of piercing screams rang out as Luo Yuan took out a bottle of wine and slowly began to drink.

"Fifth Level of Divine Weapon - Spatial Cutting Proficiency +1"

"Fifth Level of Divine Weapon - Spatial Cutting Proficiency +1"

"Fifth Level of Divine Weapon - Spatial Cutting Proficiency +1"

…………

Three days later, Luo Yuan walked out of the decisive battle space with satisfaction. Then he was notified that the genius reincarnation battle of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom had ended and the 1000 selected people should immediately enter the fighting arena. So Luo Yuan quickly teleported to the fighting arena.

There are no spectators in the arena today.

One thousand peerless geniuses from various star systems of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom stood there, looking at a giant in front of them! The giant standing in front of the thousand best geniuses of the Universe Kingdom was over eight meters tall. This giant wore a scale armor battle robe and a battle helmet. He exuded a bloody aura, and his eyes... seemed to be the gaze of death, enveloping the group of geniuses.

Hold your breath.

Sweat beaded on the foreheads of 1000 geniuses.

"In the virtual universe, is consciousness alone that terrifying?" Luo Yuan also became interested.

Congratulations!

A cold voice echoed in the arena, "You 1000 are the most outstanding individuals selected by our Qianwu Universe Kingdom. You are all qualified to represent our Universe Kingdom and compete against geniuses from many other Universe Kingdoms! However... this ultimate duel will be far more difficult than your previous battles!"

"There are 1008 universe kingdoms, some of which have a larger territory and more star systems than our Qianwu universe kingdom!"

"Because the situations in each universe are different, the internal selection times are also different."

"so!"

"The ultimate showdown of geniuses across the entire universe... will not truly begin for another year and a half. This year and a half is your opportunity to improve yourselves!"

Chapter 116 Peerless Genius

After the giant finished explaining some important points about the upcoming Genius Finals, the 1000 people scattered.

Luo Yuan and Luo Feng also returned to the Jiuxing Bay community on Heilongshan Island in the virtual universe, where Hong and Lei Shen were already waiting.

Luo Yuan invited the three of them to the pavilion of his ancient-style palace. After drinking a sip of the finest tea, they all smiled at each other.

"This cycle of war is finally over. I can't wait to meet the geniuses from other universe nations," Luo Yuan said with a smile.

"Yes, the cycle battle is over, but my training isn't over yet," Luo Feng sighed.

"Third brother, what have you been doing for the past three years? You didn't even come to watch the Reincarnation Arena Tournament?" Hong asked.

"You all know me. I prefer quiet. I've been cultivating in the Battle Space for the past three years." Luo Yuan took a sip of tea somewhat awkwardly. He couldn't very well say that these geniuses were too weak and that he wasn't interested in watching.

"The Final Battle Space? Third brother, your Demon King title has already climbed to the top of all the leaderboards in the Killing Arena. I heard people talking about you in there," Thor said with a laugh.

"Oh, what are they talking about me?" Luo Yuan asked, intrigued.

"Hahaha, they say you're a pervert, have sadistic tendencies, and like to torture people. That's hilarious!" Thor burst into laughter.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuan's lips twitched. It seemed that someone had revealed his humiliation of those geniuses in the decisive battle space. It seemed that he could make a confidentiality agreement before the next battle. Of course, he was not worried that those geniuses would refuse his challenge in the future, because geniuses are proud. They can endure humiliation, but they cannot tolerate their own weakness.

What's strange is that after Luo Yuan's reputation as a "Demon King" spread, not only did no one refuse his challenge, but more people took the initiative to challenge him, mostly female geniuses from various universes. Especially after Luo Yuan defeated one renowned genius after another, he wondered if those people were masochists.

…………

While the internal selection process of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom had just ended, the internal selection process was still underway in another human universe kingdom, the Wilderness Universe Kingdom, which was extremely far away from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

The Wild and Untamed Universe Kingdom is named as such.

This is because there are two extremely formidable human races in this cosmic kingdom—the Manka Star People and the Wild God Race. Both races rank among the top ten in the cosmic human bloodline, and even without cultivation, they can easily become powerful 'Domain Lords' upon reaching adulthood. The fact that their bloodlines have evolved to this extent…

Inside an oval-shaped castle, the guards at the entrance are all cosmic-level warriors.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

The two realm lords watched with amusement as the young man casually sat down at the dining table and began to eat heartily. He was a young man from the Manka Star race… possessing the traditional handsome features of the Manka Star race. He wore a silver battle suit, had black hair, and was eating with his head down, muttering, “What’s there to congratulate? It’s just a spot, it’s incredibly easy!”

The two realm lords looked at each other and smiled.

"Your Highness."

The slightly overweight realm lord smiled and said, "The internal selection of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom has ended."

"Qianwu Universe Kingdom?" The Manka alien boy raised his head and frowned. "I've heard that my father said the 'Qianwu Kingdom's ruler' is very powerful, but in the last hundred genius tournaments, the Qianwu Universe Kingdom hasn't produced any outstanding figures, has it?"

"There's one thing we need to pay special attention to this year," the fat realm lord said respectfully.

"Oh, tell me!"

"Your Highness," the fat realm lord said solemnly, "the Qianwu Universe Kingdom has produced an unparalleled genius named 'Luo Yuan'. He has achieved extremely high levels in the Ten Fundamental Laws. He has not only completely mastered the domains of the Ten Attributes, but also fused them into the legendary Chaos Domain. In the end, he even broke through to the World Realm, single-handedly destroying an entire world region. He has even mastered the Divine Weapon, one of the Nine Divine Weapons of the Master, to at least the third level. In addition..."

"Ding~"

Before the fat world lord could finish speaking, the young Manka alien's utensils suddenly fell to the ground. He stared in disbelief at the fat world lord who had abruptly stopped speaking.

"Uncle Fatty, are you kidding me? Is he even human? Are you sure he's just a newbie?" The young man from Mankali Star had a look on his face that said, "You're so well-read, don't try to fool me."

The fat world lord simply nodded solemnly, then waved his hand, and a huge light screen appeared in front of them, playing footage of Luo Yuan single-handedly destroying a world. The young man from Manka Star stared intently at the screen, cold sweat slowly seeping from his forehead.

"This guy named Luo Yuan is a monster. I can't beat him. This is troublesome!" The young man from Manka Star slumped in his chair, looking at the food in front of him with lifeless eyes, but he had completely lost his appetite.

"Your Highness, based on the intelligence we've gathered and our assessment, this young man named 'Luo Yuan' has the potential to break into the top ten overall. Moreover, judging from the intelligence, he has been concealing his strength, and he may not have even unleashed his full power in the final battle," the Fat Realm Lord continued. "He could very well become the number one ranked character in the universe!"

"Number one in the universe? And he hasn't even unleashed his strongest power yet? My god, Uncle Fatty, I'm going to train right now!" The young man from Manka felt a strong sense of crisis and rushed towards the training room. He still trusted the judgment of his elders.

…………

In the vast universe, humanity is one of the most powerful races, occupying a very large area.

Meanwhile, in the 1008 universe kingdoms, many internal selections for geniuses were still underway, while others had already concluded. The top geniuses, ranked first or second in their respective universe kingdoms, were using any means necessary to gather intelligence on potentially threatening rivals in other universe kingdoms.

The same scene from the Desolate Universe Kingdom is playing out in many other universe kingdoms. The geniuses who have obtained the quotas all know that a terrifying existence named Luo Yuan has emerged in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. They all feel immense pressure and immediately dare not be arrogant or complacent, rushing to cultivate.

…………

In the vast starry sky of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
