"Hahaha!"
The Black Dragon Mountain Empire's emperor, clad in a dark gold robe, threw his head back and roared with laughter, his face and eyes alight with excitement. "How many times? How many times has our empire not had a genius break into the Qianwu Universe Arena Battle?"
"Your Majesty, eighteen times!"
An old Realm Lord, who had followed the Black Dragon Mountain emperor for millions of years, respectfully replied.
"That number becomes history today!"
The Black Dragon Mountain emperor waved his sleeve, and a large screen in front of the hall displayed the situation of their territory…
Black Dragon Mountain Empire passed the preliminary selection: 4 people. (Currently.) From Blue Silver Subordinate Country: Luo Feng, 4th place in the world district.
From Blue Silver Subordinate Country: Hong, 17th place in the world district.
From Blue Silver Subordinate Country: Thunder God: World Zone 362nd.
From Blue Silver Subordinate Country: Jiang Li: World Zone 731st.
The rankings changed in order from top to bottom.
"They're both from Blue Silver Subordinate Country. The Duke has really done a great job this time!"
"Pillars of the nation, loyal subjects!"
"Having a Duke in Black Dragon Mountain is better than having ten thousand World Lords!"
"Not at all, not at all!"
The Blue Silver Subordinate Country's leader was very humble in the face of praise from many of the Empire's high-ranking officials.
"Excellent!"
The Black Dragon Mountain Empire's leader laughed heartily, and said with a bold air, "Regardless of the outcome, the Duke will be rewarded!"
"Those who make the list are the same, even if they ultimately lose, they should be well rewarded!"
"They must be the stars of tomorrow for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!"
As his voice faded, the screen suddenly changed: From the Blue Silver Subordinate Country: Jiang Li: 1st in the World Zone!
"Look, the ranking has changed!"
"So fast, first place in one go?"
"Could this Jiang Li be that one?"
Hargrave's eyes widened, and he suddenly thought, "It must be him!"
A Universe Venerable's direct disciple not taking first place in the world zone would be a surprise.
In the Eleventh World Zone, Jiang Li was still 'waiting for the rabbit' in Liuli City.
To be precise.
He wasn't 'waiting for the rabbit' anymore; he had completely become the big BOSS of the Eleventh World Zone.
"Liuli City really lives up to its name as a city of death; even Men Jian, who was ranked first, is dead."
"Huan Jian's score was high enough, so even if he died, he could still advance, which is why he went to challenge the city of death!"
"Brothers, keep hunting. When I have enough points, I'll go check it out too, see who the hell is in Liuli City!"
As time passed, the number of contestants in each world zone dwindled. Based on the 8 billion point standard, it was easy to calculate how many points were needed to secure a place in the top 1,000.
Like Huan Jian, who was ranked first in points, even if Jiang Li killed him, he would only lose half of his points, and his final ranking would still be able to advance.
"The first level of the Yanshen Weapon's power is not bad..."
"Unfortunately, you challenged me."
Jiang Li sat quietly on the rooftop, watching the 'Huan Jian' corpse gradually disappear, and slightly shook his head.
Contestant: Jiang Li (Qianwu Universe Country) Points: **.
Ranking: 1.
World Zone: 11.
"Twenty-two billion points should secure a place in the top three."
Jiang Li glanced at the crystal screen on his arm, waiting for the preliminary rounds to end.
Night.
The wind howled.
A streak of light came from the west, revealing a spiritualist standing on a Falling Star Disc.
"I, Chiyan, have come to challenge the Demon King!"
"Demon King?"
Jiang Li looked up, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Do you have enough points?"
"Enough!"
Excitement flashed across Chiyan's face, his eyes filled with madness. "Come on, the Great Demon King of District Eleven. Show me your strongest!"
The words fell, and a stream of light erupted!
Chiyan's Starfall Disc, which he was standing on, began to spin like a vortex, accompanied by a dense series of whistling sounds. As the stream of light burst forth, the sky was filled with a sudden downpour, like a meteor shower.
"That's not how the Starfall Disc is used."
Facing the countless streams of light, Jiang Li calmly spoke, and then, with a flourish, his Wind and Thunder Cloud Sword struck upwards.
The sword's light erupted, like cosmic rays!
The immense force, carrying the power of wind and thunder, shattered the streams of light from the Starfall Disc and directly slashed towards Chiyan.
"As expected of the Demon King, a single sword strike broke my mental-energy weapon?"
Chiyan's pupils shrank. Facing Jiang Li's fierce sword strike, he took a breath and tried to dodge. Suddenly, he felt as if his body was suppressed by the force of ten thousand jun, forcibly holding him in mid-air to face the sword's light head-on.
"Earth Source Law!!!"
Chiyan reacted only to see the sword light already upon him. In a panic, he raised his shield to block.
"BOOM!"
A massive force surged through the shield, shattering Chiyan's body instantly, causing it to explode.
Clang!
The shield fell to the ground, still clutched by Chiyan's arm, while his body was torn to pieces, scattered far away, accompanied by a soft thud.
"Without a domain or law suppression, a ninth-stage Stellar level being can't withstand a single strike from me."
Jiang Li looked at Chiyan's gradually dissipating remains and sighed slightly.
His Chaos Undying Ancestral Dragon Body had long reached perfection. With a single sword strike, it was as if a five-clawed golden dragon was rending the heavens. The seventy-two times amplitude erupted. Even with the shield's force dissipation, the ordinary ninth-stage Stellar level body provided by the virtual universe couldn't withstand the transmission of that power.
So...
Currently, no one can withstand his sword!
More and more spaceships carrying spectators are gathering in the Eleventh World Zone, and the name "Big Demon King" is gradually spreading.
"Even Chiyan, who is ranked second, was taken out by the Liuli Big Demon King?"
"One sword, and again, one sword!"
"This guy's moves remind me of someone!"
"A nine-star powerhouse in the arena space? Jiang Nan?!"
"Yes, that's Jiang Nan!"
Qianwu Universe Palace.
"Your disciple is truly amazing!"
Minghu Venerable couldn't help but applaud as she watched Jiang Li slay another opponent with a single sword strike. "His physical strength, coupled with his application of the Earth Source Law and mental power, is perfect. Most Immortals would struggle to reach this level..."
Her words weren't an exaggeration. Duo Yi, who was an Immortal, had been defeated by Jiang Li despite having similar physical attributes.
"Concise and decisive, a single strike to kill. It seems easy, but in reality, it's extremely difficult."
Qiongfeng Venerable was also quite amazed. "This isn't something that can be honed in a killing space."
"Wan Shan, it seems your disciple experienced countless life-and-death battles before becoming your disciple!"
As Universe Venerables, they understood this very well.
Between life and death, there is immense terror! But also great opportunity! Enlightenment leads to life, failure to enlightenment leads to death! The true pressure of life and death will stimulate all of a human's potential, a level of terror that the virtual universe network couldn't replicate.
The killing continued!
On the twenty-fourth day, the second-ranked 'Blood Saber' came alone, sword in hand, challenging the 'Demon King' of Liuli City, and was killed with a single sword strike! On the twenty-fifth day, the second-ranked 'Rogue' came, opening a nine-layered domain to challenge the 'Demon King' of Liuli City, and was killed with a single sword strike! After that, no one dared to set foot in Liuli City!
Jiang Li's score also reached 4.7 billion, surpassing half of the contestants in the eleventh district, firmly holding the first place in the eleventh world district! On the other side.
The eighty-eighth world district also entered a state of deadlock.
The twenty-ninth day of the world district preliminaries.
A bald young man in a white robe, holding a Thunder Battle Saber in both hands, stood on the highway outside the city.
"Are you Mad Dog?"
A disheveled, barefooted, three-meter-tall man strode over, his burly figure making him look imposing. He looked at the Thunder God, who was holding his saber, and laughed mockingly, "I didn't expect you to dare to challenge me!"
"Screw you, Mad Dog!"
"Who the hell gave me such a horrible nickname?"
Thunder God cursed, stomping his foot. A halo of lightning instantly pulsed outwards, unleashing countless electric snakes centered around him. Then, his form flickered, and he swept forward with the might of his domain.
