The central square, encircled by 1,008 towering buildings, was vast enough to hold millions.
Along its outer edge stood ninety-nine restaurants, reserved exclusively for the geniuses of the 1,008 universe nations. However, not all were open to everyone.
Restaurant No. 1 was special.
Only the Immortal leaders of each universe nation were qualified to enter.
Whoosh—
The scale-armored giant Lord Thirteen descended in a streak of light, landing before the entrance of Restaurant No. 1.
"My Lord," the staff at the door saluted respectfully.
Lord Thirteen nodded and stepped inside.
Within the restaurant, Immortal-level powerhouses from all directions had already gathered. Their auras varied—cold, violent, deep, unfathomable. Law fluctuations interwove and collided, forming an invisible world of pressure.
"Thirteen! You're here!"
Several Immortals greeted him warmly.
One of them sighed with clear emotion.
"Your Qianwu Universe Kingdom truly produced monsters this time—especially Jiang Yan."
"Two years ago, his comprehension of the Space Law was already astonishing. Now?"
"I fear he's no weaker than an ordinary Immortal."
"Martial Artist and Spiritual Master dual cultivation… calling him a monster unseen in hundreds of millions of epochs isn't exaggeration."
Lord Thirteen smiled faintly.
"Your Noah Universe Kingdom also has demons," he replied calmly.
"Especially Bolan. His understanding of the Space Law is no worse than Jiang Yan's, and he's also a top contender for the championship."
The surrounding Immortals exchanged glances—then smiled knowingly.
Bolan's Space Law comprehension had indeed reached the level of Ten Thousand Lines Flow.
That was terrifying.
But compared to Jiang Yan—
The gap was obvious.
Ordinary spectators couldn't tell, but how could they not?
On the final day of the preliminaries, Jiang Yan had used teleportation.
Teleportation.
One of the Three Great Mysteries of the Space Law.
Even if it was only short-range—
it was still teleportation.
Most of the Immortals present hadn't even touched that realm yet.
This alone explained why Jiang Yan was hailed as a genius rare in billions of years.
At that moment, someone asked cautiously,
"Thirteen… is it true that Jiang Yan is a disciple of the Star Prison Demon Venerable?"
"His prison-type illusion looks eerily similar to that lineage."
Lord Thirteen shook his head.
"Don't ask me. I want to know the answer even more than you do."
During the preliminaries, Jiang Yan had used the Thunder Prison Demon Realm. Most powerhouses couldn't recognize its origin.
But once Jiang Yan's battle recordings spread across all 1,008 universe nations, someone eventually identified it—
It came from the lineage of the Star Prison Demon Lord.
That existence hadn't appeared for countless eras.
Thus, speculation spread:
Jiang Yan was likely a disciple of a direct descendant of the Star Prison Demon Lord.
Meanwhile—
On the square.
Luo Feng, Thor, Rong Jun, and Feng Lun stepped out from their building.
"See her?" a pink-haired girl with twin ponytails whispered excitedly.
"That's Lightsaber Ai Chen!"
"The Mengluoyi Tribe is famous for Time and Light Laws—she's one of the championship favorites!"
Thor stared.
"Damn… she looks sweet, but she's that strong?"
Luo Feng narrowed his eyes.
"Time Law and Light Law—both crossing the threshold?"
The second stage truly lived up to its name.
Across the 1,008 universe nations, true monsters had gathered.
Dual-law geniuses were everywhere.
But—
So what?
Two years ago, Luo Feng had crossed the threshold in Gold Law.
Now—
with help from his clone's spatial talent—
He had also crossed the Space Law threshold.
"She's coming," Rong Jun said quietly.
Ai Chen walked straight toward them.
"Hi," she said bluntly.
"Where's the Great Demon King Jiang Yan?"
Thor raised an eyebrow and grinned.
"Third Brother's busy. If you're looking for him, I can pass along a message."
Ai Chen nodded, then glanced at Luo Feng and Rong Jun.
"You two are very strong."
"You're not weak either," Rong Jun laughed.
Strong women never annoyed him.
"Hahaha!"
A hearty laugh rang out as a burly man in silver armor approached.
"Oh, it's Prince Uka of Manka Star," Rong Jun said.
"He's extremely strong—top ten overall shouldn't be a problem."
Luo Feng and the others nodded.
After the reincarnation wars, a Top-20 Championship Favorites List circulated across all universe nations.
Uka's name was on it.
So were Jiang Yan, Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Hong, Thor, and Ai Chen.
Each name was backed by detailed analyses and battle footage.
Uka walked over cheerfully.
"Haha! Where's the Great Demon King? Why isn't Jiang Yan with you?"
Luo Feng smiled.
"He should be out soon."
At that moment, Feng Lun suddenly pointed.
"That's Phantom Demon Galesi."
In a corner of the square, a black-robed figure sat silently.
"In the qualifiers, he killed opponents just by looking at them—pure illusion."
Rong Jun chuckled.
"I wonder whose illusion is stronger—his, or Jiang Yan's?"
The others' eyes gleamed.
Uka laughed confidently.
"No comparison."
"My father said Jiang Yan's illusion comes from a Universe Venerable-level lineage."
"That's a true Venerable—high above all."
"What does Galesi count as?"
Ai Chen turned to Luo Feng and Thor.
"You're close to Jiang Yan—is that true?"
"A Venerable?" Luo Feng froze.
Thor scratched his head.
"No… Third Brother's teacher should be an Immortal King, right?"
Both had seen Red Kite and heard Jiang Yan say so himself.
"Immortal King?!"
Ai Chen, Uka, and Rong Jun all stiffened.
At that moment—
"The God of Death, Bolan, has arrived!"
A ripple spread across the square.
A youth in white robes, expression icy, a blood-colored longsword on his back, walked calmly into view.
"Bolan's Space Law has reached Ten Thousand Lines Flow," Uka said with admiration.
Ai Chen nodded.
"That level is terrifying."
Then she added calmly,
"But compared to the Great Demon King in space…"
"It's not even close."
Uka laughed.
"Exactly."
"Jiang Yan used short-range teleportation in the preliminaries."
"At that point—"
"Bolan was already pressed into the ground and rubbed."
