The mysterious and powerful entity representing the Virtual Universe Company departed after a brief announcement.
Although Luo Feng and others were puzzled, they could only return to Building 0825 to rest.
…
The next morning.
“Everyone, please prepare yourselves. A collective transmission will soon begin, sending all participants to their respective trial spaces.” A crisp and melodious voice echoed throughout the entire dimension space. All the geniuses within the 1008 buildings had already risen and were waiting for the initial elimination round.
First elimination, then the final battle.
However, in terms of cruelty, the elimination trial was clearly more terrifying.
“Good luck.”
“Try hard.” In the first-floor lobby of Building 0825, many geniuses from the Qianwoo Cosmic Kingdom exchanged greetings and blessings. It was too brutal—over a million people had been eliminated in the first wave. Among the thousand geniuses present, perhaps fewer than ten would remain.
“Maniac, good luck.”
“Fenglun, keep going.”
Luo Feng and the green-haired youth ‘Fenglun’ encouraged each other.
Suddenly—
Boom!
An invisible and bizarre force descended upon the entire dimensional space, instantly transporting all 1,008,000 young prodigies away from the realm. As for the immortal beings within this domain—including tavern staff and others—they remained utterly untouched by the phenomenon.
…
This was a massive, nearly rectangular asteroid floating in the cosmic starry sky, stretching nearly a hundred kilometers in length.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng appeared on the asteroid, looking around. In the distance were tiny stars and lifeless ordinary planets not too far away. He couldn’t help but exclaim with admiration, “The Virtual Universe has created over a million trial spaces, and each trial space is this realistic.”
Seven trial towers were built upon this drifting asteroid.
Each trial tower was as tall as a mountain, reaching a height of over ten kilometers and spanning several kilometers in diameter. The seven trial towers were positioned at different locations across the massive asteroid.
Luo Feng looked down at his wrist, where a screen displayed information similar to the preliminary selection within the Qianwoo Cosmic Kingdom.
“Participant: Luo Feng (Qianwoo Cosmic Kingdom)
Points: 0
Ranking: None
Current Trial Space: Code 0279378.
There are seven trial towers in this trial space, each with seven levels.
The first trial tower awards a maximum of 10,000 points per level. Successfully completing all seven levels grants a maximum of 70,000 points.
The second trial tower awards a maximum of 100,000 points per level. Successfully completing all seven levels grants a maximum of 700,000 points.
…
The fourth trial tower awards a maximum of ten million points per level. Successfully completing all seven levels grants a maximum of seventy million points.
…
The seventh trial tower awards a maximum of one billion points per level. Successfully completing all seven levels grants a maximum of seven hundred billion points.
Note: Death ends the trial.
There are two ways to pass each level: 1. Kill all targets on the level to receive the maximum points and be immediately transported to the next level. 2. If all targets are not killed, after ten days, if the participant remains alive, they will be transported to the next level to continue the trial.
When all participants have died, the trial ends, and the final rankings are determined.
Below is the ranking list.”
…
“Freaky,” Luo Feng muttered while shaking his head and looking at the screen. “The trial ends when everyone is dead? What does that mean… it means no one can possibly pass all seven trial towers!”
Clearly, the trial towers were extremely difficult.
The Virtual Universe Company was confident that all participants would perish!
“It’s somewhat similar to the preliminary selection of the Qianwoo Cosmic Kingdom. However, that time was only within a single region of the Qianwoo Cosmic Kingdom. This time, however, it’s the gathering of all the peak geniuses from the 1008 cosmic kingdoms. The competition is fierce, and those ranked below 7300 will be directly eliminated.” Luo Feng pondered with a furrowed brow.
Obviously!
The first trial tower should be relatively easy, with increasing difficulty as one progresses.
“This says there are two ways to pass each level. One is to kill all targets and be transported. The second is to survive for ten days and then be automatically transported.” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. “Doesn’t that mean… one can stay in each level for up to ten days?”
“One trial tower has seven levels!”
“So, one can stay in a single trial tower for up to seventy days!”
A delighted expression appeared on Luo Feng’s face. “Great! That means five trial towers will give me a whole year.”
Right now, what he lacked most was time!
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast had only recently broken through to the Cosmic level, starting to unleash its innate abilities, beginning to comprehend domains, and researching the Gold-Origin Laws. As for the Mosha Clan clone… it had only been created at the end of last October and had been training for less than a year. If he could have another year.
He would become much stronger!
“Right!”
“That’s exactly what I’ll do!” Luo Feng made his decision. “I won’t rush ahead at the beginning. Instead, I’ll let my Mosha Clan clone in the real world train hard, striving to continuously improve my strength. The stronger I become, the further I will advance in this trial space… and then…”
“Alright!”
“Perhaps my initial ranking will be low. But that’s okay. What matters is the final ranking.”
“I’ll play the quiet one until the moment to shine arrives.” Luo Feng smiled.
Boom!
Luo Feng transformed into a streak of light, flying to the front of the first trial tower. Standing before the entrance pillar marked with the number ‘1’ on the tower that was over ten kilometers tall, Luo Feng fully prepared his mental weapon and battle armor before entering the first trial tower.
As soon as he entered the tower.
The text on Luo Feng’s screen changed: “Level 1 of Trial Tower 1: 10,000 Blood-Furred Mammoths.
Each beast killed earns one point. Killing all 10,000 earns 10,000 points and immediate transport to Level 2.
If not all are killed, surviving for ten days will result in automatic transport to Level 2.
Death ends the trial.”
On the edge of the screen displaying the countdown timer, it was clear that once the ten days were up, he would be transported.
“Just as I thought.” Luo Feng smiled. “Alright, let’s begin!”
…
In the real world.
Solar System, Mars.
A Golden-Horned Giant Beast over ten meters long raised its head and let out an excited roar: “Woo—” before instantly splitting into multiple illusions to continue researching the secret technique “Absolute Space.” As a favored being of space, studying space techniques was pure joy for the Mosha Clan clone. The sensation was simply exquisite.
…
In the Virtual Universe, the central plaza hosted 1008 immortal beings casually seated in various places.
The trial space elimination would not be broadcast publicly across the universe. Only the changes in the ranking list would be made public. The final arena battle would be the only one broadcast publicly. However, the immortal beings from each cosmic kingdom had the authority to watch the trials of each participant.
“This one called Bolan is indeed ruthless. He immediately rushed to the top.”
“Right!”
“Wow, Bolan’s points are rising incredibly fast, far surpassing the second place.”
“Thirteen, your Qianwoo Cosmic Kingdom’s Ronjun is also quite good. He’s currently ranked 12th.”
The 1008 powerful immortals could easily view the rankings and trial situations. Now, representing their respective cosmic kingdoms, they naturally hoped their cosmic kingdom’s geniuses would shine brighter, as it was a matter of pride. For these beings with eternal lifespans, pride and dignity were of utmost importance.
“Not bad.” The giant clad in scaled armor slightly nodded, seated on the wide chair, watching the screen before him.
“Ronjun.” He directly opened the live broadcast of Ronjun’s current trial.
There, the untamed youth strode barefoot with uncanny swiftness, his battle blade flashing as he felled winged, furred beasts with three leonine eyes—the monstrous Feiha.
A rare smile appeared on the scaled-armor giant’s face.
“Hmm?” His brows slightly furrowed, exuding a killing aura. “This Luo Feng…”
He couldn’t even find Luo Feng’s name among the top rankings. In his perception, Luo Feng should at least rank within the top ten thousand. He then opened the list of participants from his own Qianwoo Cosmic Kingdom and immediately spotted Luo Feng’s name—”Luo Feng (Qianwoo Cosmic Kingdom), Ranking: 1,006,891.” This caused the scaled-armor giant’s eyes to blaze with ferocity.
“What is this fool doing?” The scaled-armor giant opened the live broadcast of Luo Feng and frowned upon seeing it. “Not even trying hard! This guy treats the trial space as a training ground?”
…
Indeed!
Not only were the Golden-Horned Giant Beast and the Mosha Clan clone undergoing training, but even Luo Feng’s main body continuously absorbed insights gained by the two clones, integrating them into his own combat techniques, constantly improving and growing stronger.
Level 1, Level 2 of the first tower…
Each level was stayed in for the full ten days, with the last target being eliminated only at the final countdown. Clearly, among the million geniuses, Luo Feng was not the only one doing this. Many geniuses were trying to squeeze out some time in the earlier, simpler levels to strengthen themselves.
That was why Luo Feng wasn’t last.
But he was close, nearly among the last one or two thousand.
…
Sixty days later.
Boom!
Luo Feng was transported to the seventh level of the first trial tower.
“The sixth level was actually the Starry Sky Giant Beast ‘Cang’.” Luo Feng recalled the previous level with a sigh, then looked down at the screen on his wrist.
Level 7 of Trial Tower 1: Zerg Hive
Destroying the Zerg Hive grants 10,000 points and immediate transport to Level 1 of Trial Tower 2.
Zerg Hive: In reality, the weakest Zerg Hive is equivalent to a World Lord, and many are even comparable to immortal beings. The Zerg Hive in this trial tower has its power reduced proportionally to suit the trial participants.
Advice: “Destroy the Zerg Hive as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more and stronger Zerg will be produced by the Hive!”
Boom!
The seventh-level space suddenly transformed, becoming a vast desert expanse. In the center of the desert, on a patch of green land, there was a large sphere approximately sixty meters in diameter. The sphere had an uneven surface and naturally emitted toxic gases, with toxic liquid flowing from it.
“A Zerg Hive?” Luo Feng widened his eyes. “Earth, Earth… Shennongjia…”
Luo Feng recalled the terrifying mysterious sphere in Shennongjia, one of Earth’s three forbidden zones, which even Babata had forbidden him from touching.
