With the arrival of this group and their undisguised killing intent, the faint fragrance of wildflowers carried by the breeze was completely overwhelmed, replaced by a thick, suffocating stench of blood.
"So this is your final decision?" Bai Yue spoke first. His voice was calm and indifferent, yet it spread clearly across the entire lakeside. "It couldn't have been easy to gather so many people… what a pity."
He did not even bother to look around at the hundreds—no, thousands—of participants surrounding him.
That cold disregard instantly ignited anger in many hearts. Several people opened their mouths to curse, but before anyone could speak, a soft, alluring female voice rang out from the crowd.
"Facing the legendary Heavenly Emperor, how could we dare to be careless?"
The speaker stepped forward gracefully.
She was breathtakingly beautiful, especially her eyes—clear and captivating like flowing spring water. Any man who met her gaze would find it difficult to pull himself away. Below her slender waist, a long, smooth snake tail swayed gently.
She was of the Snake Race, a powerful branch within the Human Race, renowned for producing illusionists. Almost every adult Snake Race member was a formidable mental cultivator.
"I am Martha Agresi of the Snake Race," she said calmly. "Because of your reputation, I contacted the strongest experts from the various cities of the Sixth World District and gathered them here… for one purpose only."
"To invite the Heavenly Emperor… to his death."
Bai Yue glanced at the tranquil lake, the green lawn, and the remaining patches of unspoiled scenery.
"Not bad," he said lightly. "This place suits you well as a burial ground."
"Why waste words with him?" a scar-faced man roared from the crowd. "With so many of us, are we really afraid of one person? Heavenly Emperor my ass—"
Before he could finish, Martha shot him a sharp glance, cutting him off.
"Succubus, enough talk!" another man shouted impatiently. He stood atop a floating disc, a single eye gleaming with malice. "After killing him, we'll fight among ourselves to decide first place!"
Without waiting for a response, he launched himself forward.
That was the signal.
In an instant, attacks erupted from every direction.
Psychic weapons carrying terrifying energy fluctuations streaked through the air, aiming straight for Bai Yue's vital points. The Derive God Weapon responded instantly—hundreds of golden small swords shot out like schools of luminous fish, weaving through space under the amplification of his Domain, intercepting every incoming attack.
Bai Yue stood unharmed at the center.
The environment, however, was not so fortunate.
Deflected attacks smashed into the ground, blasting enormous craters into the soil. Others plunged into the lake, sending towering waves crashing outward. In mere moments, the peaceful lakeside was reduced to chaos.
Since the enemy had already made their move, Bai Yue no longer held back.
The golden swords darted through the crowd, harvesting lives with ruthless efficiency. Blood of various colors blossomed in the air like grotesque flowers.
Not everyone present was cannon fodder.
Several powerhouses fully unleashed their Martial Artist Domains. Others, who had already grasped the rudiments of Law, wrapped themselves in origin-law fluctuations, forcibly resisting the golden swords as they charged toward Bai Yue's main body.
"I've got him!"
A dwarf youth barely 1.1 meters tall shot forward. He wielded a green short sword, both his body and weapon suffused with the Wind Origin Law. The air before him seemed to offer no resistance at all—his speed surpassed everyone else present.
The blade flashed, about to slice across Bai Yue's throat.
But Bai Yue moved later—and struck first.
The dark-gold long staff expanded under origin force, its head swelling to nearly half a meter. It smashed into the dwarf youth like a meteor.
The youth was flung sideways at even greater speed than he had charged, his body disintegrating into a cloud of bloody mist midair, scattering toward the attackers behind him.
A ripple of fear spread through the crowd.
They could now clearly see it—Bai Yue's Martial Artist combat strength was no weaker than his terrifying Mental Master abilities.
From that moment on, Bai Yue fought with ruthless efficiency.
With one mind controlling the Derive God Weapon to annihilate the外围 participants, he used the long staff in his hands to crush any Martial Artists who managed to break through and approach him. His fighting style was brutal, direct, and overwhelmingly oppressive.
Some people finally lost their nerve and retreated silently, slipping away from the battlefield.
But they were only a minority.
More people launched even more frenzied attacks, unleashing their trump cards in desperation.
The golden swords became a living meat grinder.
In less than half a minute, corpses carpeted the ground. Those who had not comprehended Law found it nearly impossible to withstand attacks infused with the Metal Origin Law.
At the edge of the battlefield, Martha Agresi's expression darkened.
She had believed that no matter how strong Bai Yue was, he would eventually be worn down under the combined assault of over a thousand elites.
Reality shattered that illusion.
The terrifying lethality of a high-level Mental Master Controller, combined with equally fearsome close-combat strength, far exceeded her expectations.
As the number of survivors dwindled, she finally gave the order.
"Prepare," she transmitted quietly to those under her command.
They began forming a complex formation—preparing a multi-person combined soul secret technique unique to the Snake Race. It was similar in nature to Yun Mo Planet's Six-Pointed Star, but on a far larger scale.
The technique activated.
A massive, concentrated spiritual attack descended instantly upon Bai Yue's position, surging straight toward his Sea of Consciousness.
Inside his Sea of Consciousness, the three-story pagoda trembled violently—but under the stabilization of Bai Yue's will, it quickly regained balance.
The attack failed.
And it enraged him.
Bai Yue no longer bothered with gradual attrition.
The Space Law he had been concealing was fully unleashed.
"Absolute Space."
Hundreds of Bai Yues appeared simultaneously across the battlefield. Each wielded a dark-gold long staff, overflowing with terrifying Earth Origin Law power. His gene-origin force erupted without restraint as every clone struck at once.
Rumble—!
A thunderous roar shook the world.
When the dust finally settled—the lake was gone. The lawn was gone. The battlefield was gone.
So were nearly all the contestants.
Only a handful of people who had fled early survived.
In their place lay a massive crater spanning several kilometers. Shockwaves rippled outward, collapsing surrounding buildings into ruins.
This was a B2-grade world, modeled after Nabi Planet. Even an Astral Rank Stage Two Martial Artist would struggle to damage its surface.
If such an attack were unleashed on Earth, continents would shatter. Even a Universe Rank Stage Nine powerhouse might not survive for long.
Hovering above the crater, Bai Yue's expression was utterly calm.
Being nearly breached by that soul attack had crossed his bottom line.
He glanced at the projection on his wrist.
Participant: Bai Yue (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)
Points: 697,654,267
Ranking: 1
World District: Sixth
His objective had long since been exceeded.
There was no need to continue slaughtering.
He found a tall building, sat down quietly, and waited for the end.
In the final moments, the remaining contestants descended into madness. Some attacked former teammates without hesitation, desperate to climb the rankings.
A few insane individuals even tried to challenge Bai Yue.
They all died.
"10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1!"
"Teleportation."
The Sixth World District's preliminary round came to an end.
