"Hahaha!"
The Black Dragon Mountain Empire's Emperor, dressed in a dark gold robe, threw his head back and laughed, his face and eyes filled with excitement: "How many sessions has it been? How many sessions has our Empire gone without a genius charging into the Qianwu Universe Arena Battle?"
"Your Majesty, eighteen sessions!"
An old Realm Lord who had followed the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor for millions of years respectfully replied.
"This number will become history today!"
The Black Dragon Mountain Emperor waved his sleeves, and a huge screen that appeared in front of the hall displayed the situation of the territories...
Black Dragon Mountain Empire passed the preliminary selection: 4 people. (Currently.)
From the Blue Silver Subordinate State: Luo Feng, 4th place in the world region.
From the Blue Silver Subordinate State: Hong, 17th place in the world region.
From Blue Silver Subordinate State: Lei Shen: Ranked 362nd in the World Zone.
From Blue Silver Subordinate State: Jiang Li: Ranked 731st in the World Zone.
The rankings changed in order from top to bottom.
"They're both from Blue Silver Subordinate State, the Duke has really made a great contribution this time!"
"Pillars of the nation, the most important ministers!"
"Having a Duke in Black Dragon Mountain is better than having tens of thousands of World Lords!"
"Not at all, not at all!"
The lord of Blue Silver Subordinate State was very humble in the face of the flattery from many of the empire's high-ranking officials.
"Excellent!"
The Black Dragon Mountain Empire's leader laughed heartily, saying 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 words fell, the screen suddenly changed: From the Blue Silver Subordinate State: Jiang Li: World Zone 1st place!
"Look, the rankings have changed!"
"So fast, first place in an instant?"
"Could this Jiang Li be that one?"
Hagreve's eyes widened, and he immediately thought, "It must be him!"
A Universe Venerable's direct disciple not taking first place in a world zone would be a bit unbelievable.
In the Eleventh World Zone, Jiang Li was still in Liuli City, "waiting for a rabbit."
To be exact.
He wasn't "waiting for a rabbit" anymore; he had completely become the big boss of the Eleventh World Zone.
"Liuli City really deserves to be a city of death; even Men Jian, who was ranked first, is dead."
"Huan Jian's points are high enough; he can still advance even if he dies, which is why he went to challenge the city of death!"
"Brothers, keep hunting. When I have enough points, I'll go and see who the hell is in Liuli City!"
As time passed, the number of contestants in each world zone decreased. 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 first in the points ranking, even if Jiang Li killed him, he would only lose half his points, and his final ranking could still advance.
"The first level power of the Yan Shen Bing is not bad..."
"Unfortunately, you challenged me."
Jiang Li sat quietly on the Sky Terrace, watching the 'Huan Jian' corpse gradually disappear, and shook his head slightly.
Contestant: Jiang Li (Qianwu Universe Country) Points: **.
Ranking: 1.
World Zone: 11.
"Twenty-two billion points should be stable 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, Chi Yan, have come to challenge the Demon King!"
"Demon King?"
Jiang Li looked up, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Enough points?"
"Enough!"
Chi Yan's face was flushed with excitement, his eyes filled with madness. "Come, Great Demon King of Area Eleven. Show me your strongest power!"
The words fell, and a stream of light erupted!
Chi Yan's Falling Star Disc beneath his feet began to spin like a vortex, accompanied by a series of dense whistling sounds. With the burst of light, the long sky was filled with a sudden downpour of shooting stars.
"That's not how you use the Falling Star Disc."
Facing countless streams of light, Jiang Li calmly spoke, then suddenly struck upwards with his Wind Thunder Cloud Sword.
A sword beam burst forth, like cosmic rays!
The immense force, carrying the power of wind and thunder, shattered the streams of light from the Falling Star Disc, directly slashing towards Chi Yan.
"As expected of the Demon King, a single sword strike broke my mental energy weapon?"
Chi Yan's pupils shrank, and facing Jiang Li's fierce sword, his body tensed. When he tried to dodge, he suddenly felt his body weighed down by a force of ten thousand jun, forcibly holding him in mid-air to face the sword beam.
"Earth Source Law!!!"
Chi Yan reacted when the sword light had already arrived. In a panic, Chi Yan blocked with his shield.
"Rumble!"
The immense force crashed through the shield, directly shattering Chi Yan's body, which then exploded.
Clang!
The shield landed, still holding Chi Yan's arm. 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 can't withstand my sword."
Jiang Li watched Chi Yan's fading remains and sighed slightly.
His Chaos Undying Ancestral Dragon Body was already perfected. With a single sword strike, it was like a five-clawed golden dragon tearing through the sky. The seventy-two-fold 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 force.
So…
Currently, no one can withstand his sword!
More and more spaceships came to watch the battle above the Eleventh World Zone, and the name 'Demon King' gradually spread.
"Even Chi Yan, who was ranked second, was taken down by the Glazed Demon King?"
"One sword, another sword!"
"This guy's moves remind me of someone!"
"The nine-star strong warrior of the decisive battle space? Jiang Nan?!"
"Yes, that's Jiang Nan!"
Qianwu Universe Palace.
"Your disciple is truly impressive!"
Seeing Jiang Li defeat another opponent with a single sword strike, Minghu Zunzhe couldn't help but applaud. "His body's power, combined with the application of the Earth Source Law and his spiritual force, is practically flawless. It's difficult even for ordinary Undyings to achieve this..."
Her words weren't an exaggeration. Duo Yi, back then, was an Undying, and even with comparable physical attributes, she was ultimately defeated by Jiang Li.
"Concise and decisive, a single strike to kill. It seems easy, but in reality, it's extremely difficult."
Qiong Feng Zunzhe was also quite amazed. "This isn't something that can be honed in the Killing Space."
"Wan Shan, it seems your disciple experienced countless life-and-death battles before becoming your disciple!"
As Universe Venerables, they all understood.
Between life and death, there is great terror! There is also great opportunity! If one can achieve enlightenment, they live; if they cannot, they die! The true pressure of life and death can unleash all of a human's potential. This great terror is something the virtual universe network cannot provide.
The slaughter continued!
On the twenty-fourth day, the second-ranked 'Blood Knife' came, stepping across the sky with his single blade, to challenge the 'Demon King' of Liuli City, and was killed with a single sword strike!
On the twenty-fifth day, the second-ranked 'Wanderer' opened his 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 again!
Jiang Li's points 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 stalemate.
The twenty-ninth day of the world district preliminaries.
A bald young man in a white robe, with his arms crossed over a thunder warblade, stood on the highway outside the city.
"Are you a mad dog?"
A disheveled, barefooted, burly man strode over. He was three meters tall, looking burly, and with a playful gaze, he looked at Thunder God, who was holding his blade, and laughed, "I didn't expect you to dare to challenge me!"
"Damn you, you crazy dog!"
"Which bastard gave me such an awful nickname?"
Lei Shen cursed, stomping his foot. The halo of lightning around him instantly pulsed outwards, unleashing countless electric snakes centered on him. Then, his figure flickered, and he swept forward with the might of his domain.
