The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 401 Overpowering All Heroes?

"how come?"

The Crimson Dragon Envoy stared wide-eyed at the tens of thousands of figures suspended in mid-air, unable to believe his eyes.

The teams of Venerables who came to compete for the special-grade extraordinary land generally brought only a few hundred Nascent Soul Realm experts. Even the larger teams did not exceed two thousand Nascent Soul Realm experts. After all, a powerful clan with a Venerable in charge usually has less than a thousand Nascent Soul Realm experts. Given that they need to guard their main camp and important locations, they can not bring many out.

According to the information he investigated, although the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy was developing rapidly, it was already good if it had a thousand experts at the Fusion God Realm, and even fewer that it could train.

This is also why he doesn't care about the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. After all, there are too many powerful forces and races like this in the entire universe. The Obsidian Martial Arts Academy should be grateful that they are willing to offer ten Law Stones a year.

But now the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy can send out tens of thousands of experts at the Fusion God Realm. He doesn't understand what's going on.

This number is almost one-fifth of that of a peak power, and as a top expert, he could clearly sense the presence of Vanessa, Fan Yaoguang, and Shefina standing behind Lin Qi in the crowd.

Your Holiness!
This is a sense of oppression that only a venerable person can bring him.

Three Venerable Ones!
The Obsidian Martial Arts School, which is only famous in the Black Mountain Star Region, actually has three Venerables in charge. With so many Venerables, it ranks among the top in the universe's many major forces, and it can even be said to be second only to the top ten peak forces.

"No wonder White Rakshasa was willing to spend a hundred Law Stones a year to invite them. This Obsidian Martial Arts Academy does have some foundation." Venerable Lei Xiao looked at Vanessa and the others with a calm gaze, as if it had nothing to do with him, and commented, "If White Rakshasa's side were to include this Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, and if they didn't compete with those few people, they might have a good chance of occupying a special-grade strange land."

The three Venerables, whose hair was gray and who already carried a deathly aura, glanced at the people of the Obsidian Martial Arts School and nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with what Lei Xiao said.

The struggle for the top-tier strange lands of the Initial Star, while the Fusion God Realm plays a significant role, is also key to finding the keys within these strange lands. After all, these top-tier strange lands are located in a vast special space, and their size is comparable to that of a fourth-class life-bearing planet.

The number of people searching for randomly generated keys in such a large space is considerable. However, once a key is held, the commotion will be immediately known to everyone in the space. Then it will be a matter of who can grab it and hold onto it until the key is completely bound.

In other words, the number of people at the Divine Fusion Realm only determines the initial advantage in finding the key, but whether they can ultimately become the masters of this strange land depends on their strength.

The commotion caused by the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy was short-lived. Soon, the thousands of teams gathered in the City of Beginning turned their attention to four teams with an astonishing presence.

These four teams, besides the Imperial Nether Serpent team and the Thunder Sky team from the Eternal Divine Kingdom, also include two teams from the Titan Clan and the Celestial Clan. These are the four teams that need to be most wary of if they want to compete for the Special Grade Strange Land.

The Nether Serpent Venerable of the Imperial Kingdom is recognized as one of the top five strongest Venerables. In addition, the fifteen Venerables in the team are all quite powerful, with the fewest having twelve or more perfected profound arts, and the most having fourteen perfected profound arts. One can imagine how strong the team is.

Lei Xiao's team doesn't have many Venerables, only eight in total, but they include the Three Absolute Venerables, whose strength ranks among the top twenty among Venerables, making the team's overall strength formidable.

As for the two teams from the Titan and Celestial races, needless to say, both races are recognized as having extremely high life levels, second only to the Dragon race, and are almost invincible at the same level. The leaders of these two teams are also recognized as top five experts, and each team has more than ten Venerables of the same race. Only the Nether Serpent and Thunder Sky teams can compete with them. Other teams are simply not good enough.

This time, due to the fall of six demigods, six special-grade strange places have become available. However, since the six demigods fell at different times, the unlocking time will also vary.

In a special, unclaimed space, anyone can enter a top-tier strange place. However, to leave safely, one needs the owner's permission or be directly driven out by the owner of the strange place. To have the key recognized by the owner, it needs to be bound for at least one hour.

There are six exceptionally strange places. Once you choose to enter one, it is very difficult to come out within an hour. In fact, due to the competition, it may take even longer. By the time you come out safely, the competition for the other exceptionally strange places that have opened one after another may be almost over.

Therefore, choosing a Superior Wonderland is very important, especially avoiding powerful teams. If you don't avoid these teams, it will be extremely difficult to capture a Superior Wonderland.

Among them, the four teams are the ones that all other teams need to pay the most attention to right now, and should definitely be avoided as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, the street where the demons lived was bustling with activity.

"Master Lin, let me introduce you. This is Bai Luosha, the current patriarch of our Demon Clan, and also one of the three managers of the Starry Sky Merchant Guild." Red Demon excitedly introduced Lin Qi and the others as they arrived.

Although the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy arrived a bit late, the sheer number of people they had was a huge boost to their Demon Clan. It not only ensured their ability to seize the key immediately, but also brought four Venerable-level experts, including Lin Qi, bringing their team's total number of Venerables to ten.

With the clan leader, White Rakshasa, ranking among the top twenty among the Venerables, as long as they don't encounter the current four teams, they have a great chance of occupying a special-grade extraordinary land.

Just as the Crimson Demon finished speaking, and Bai Luosha, who was over three meters tall and also a demonic mutant like Huang Jiu, was about to exchange pleasantries, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky above the City of Beginning. The sound echoed throughout the City of Beginning, causing everyone to look up at the source of the sound.

Above the City of Beginnings, a space was torn open, with a gaping hole a hundred meters long. Within that space lay another world. Even a master of the Fusion God Realm, who hadn't even mastered a single profound martial art, could see that world and vaguely sense the laws governing it.

"opened!"

"Laws! Those laws are practically overflowing! Is this the extraordinary place of the Primordial Star?"

The people in the City of Beginning stared at the cracked space inside. Except for the Venerables of the various peak forces, they couldn't help but gasp and look surprised. They never expected that the special strange place of the Beginning Star would be such a place.

Even Lin Qi, upon seeing the interior of that space, was awestruck by the extraordinary nature of the Primordial Star. He had never imagined that such a unique place could make the laws so clear.

law!

This is something you must master to enter the demigod realm after reaching the Fusion God Realm. However, the laws are extremely profound and intangible, making them very difficult to master. Even each move of the demigod's mysteries is only vaguely displayed. Only by learning all the mysteries and reaching perfection can you understand the specific outline of the laws and thus step into the demigod realm.

The extraordinary places allow people to clearly perceive the existence of laws. For those who want to master the laws, this is almost like having a cheat code. They don't have to figure things out on their own; instead, they can learn through verification. This undoubtedly makes mastering the laws much easier.

This made Lin Qi understand why the Special Grade Strange Land was called the position of demigod, and why even after becoming demigods, those demigods still clung to the Special Grade Strange Land.

Demigods cultivate the laws; the stronger their own world of laws, the stronger they become. Naturally, they won't miss any opportunity to become stronger. After all, there are many laws in the world, some strong and some weak, so the more profound and numerous the laws they master, the better.

Legend has it that if one cultivates the laws to their ultimate level, the world of laws can be transformed into a real world, and one can become a demigod. Given that one can clearly perceive the laws, how could a demigod possibly give up such a place?

"kill!"

"This extraordinary place is mine!"

In an instant, the numerous Venerable teams within the City of Beginnings charged forward as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

"Lord Lei Xiao, the Special Grade Strange Land has opened. Shall we go in?" The Crimson Dragon Envoy looked at the space and couldn't help but ask Venerable Lei Xiao.

In a space where the laws were so prominent, he felt that given some time, he could probably quickly bring the ten demigod mysteries to perfection and become a Venerable.

"Let's skip this top-tier strange place." Lei Xiao shook his head and said with great certainty, "Ming She and the others rushed in just now, and there are several other teams with considerable strength. We don't need to compete with them. There are six top-tier strange places, let's wait for the next one."

"The next one?" Chi Long's expression showed a slight disappointment upon hearing this, but he knew very well that this was the best choice. If they were to truly compete with the Nether Serpent's team, whether they could occupy a top-tier extraordinary land would become uncertain. Choosing a top-tier extraordinary land with a greater chance of success was the most important thing to do now.

At this moment, it wasn't just Lei Xiao who thought this way; the Titan and Celestial teams present also thought the same way, and even most of the teams with considerable strength present thought the same way. They were all prepared to give up this first special-grade strange land that appeared and wait for the next special-grade strange land.

"Rakshasa Clan Chief, are you going to take action against this exceptionally strange place?" Lin Qi looked at the exceptionally strange place in mid-air and couldn't help but ask Bai Rakshasa.

"Let's forget about that. The Nether Serpents have already gone in. We'll wait for the others." White Rakshasa shook her head, not intending to compete with the Nether Serpents' team.

“In that case, let’s get started.” Lin Qi looked at Bai Luosha, who had no intention of fighting, and smiled as he instructed Vanessa, who was standing to the side, “Take half of the people over there and take this strange place.”

"Yes." Vanessa responded without hesitation and immediately issued a mission to the players on her smart wristband, requiring five thousand people to accompany her into the Strange Land and seize it.

Upon receiving this message, some players present were excited, while others hesitated.

"The event mission has finally started, but should we go in or not?" Yi Ye Fu Yun looked at the mission requirement of 5,000 people and asked the rest of the team hesitantly. "The Master brought us here to compete for the Special Grade Wonderland, but he sent Vice-Captain Vanessa to lead 5,000 people to seize that Wonderland. The Master doesn't seem to be taking any action. This mission must be a side mission. If we do this mission, we might miss the main mission later."

“Luo Wushang has already joined this mission, so there’s no need for us to compete with them for mission credit.” Ye Qinglu glanced at Luo Wushang and the others who went to sign up, and gave up immediately. “There should be more than one mission in this event, so let’s do the next one.”

The Thousand-Blade Demon and Broken Blade Snow, who were present, nodded in agreement with Ye Qinglu's suggestion.

Currently, there are four players at the Fusion God Realm: Luo Wushang, who was the first to advance, followed by Ye Qinglu, Lu Fanchen, and Li Ranxing. Knowing that there is more than one mission, it is not worthwhile for them to do the mission together and compete for the most credit. After all, the combat power of the Fusion God Realm is worlds apart from that of the Celestial Realm. As long as the Fusion God Realm players take action, the Celestial Realm players can only play supporting roles.

Especially since Luo Wushang is already at the middle stage of the Fusion God Realm, while the other three are only at the initial stage of the Fusion God Realm and are still some distance from the middle stage, it's not easy for them to compete for it. So they simply let Luo Wushang have it and then grab the lion's share of the credit for other activities and tasks.

Looking at the various teams, none of the three—Azure Sky, Machine God, and Mythical Paradise—joined. The only top-tier team was Heavenly Might, and they all followed Vanessa, who was at the mid-stage of the Divine Fusion Realm, into that special space.

The actions of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy left everyone in the City of Beginnings completely stunned.

"What's the situation with White Rakshasa? Why did they send half of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy's people there?"

"Isn't the Obsidian Martial Arts School here to fully support White Rakshasa and the others?"

The various teams watched as a Venerable One from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy led half of the Academy's members into the Special Grade Strange Land, and for a moment they were all confused about what Bai Luosha and the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy were up to.

If all of Bai Luosha's people had entered the Special Grade Strange Land, or if Bai Luosha and the others had all stayed outside, they would understand what was going on. But now that the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy had sent a Venerable One with half of its members into the Special Grade Strange Land, they couldn't understand what it meant.

The advantage of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is that it has many experts at the Fusion God Realm, which makes it easy to obtain the key as soon as possible. Now that Bai Luosha and the others are not planning to compete for it, the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy will be missing one Venerable and five thousand experts at the Fusion God Realm. It's like stabbing themselves in the back before the battle even begins.

At this moment, not only were the various teams in the City of Beginnings unable to understand, but even White Rakshasa and Red Demon were dumbfounded.

"Master Lin, are you also planning to occupy a special-grade extraordinary place?" Crimson Demon couldn't help but ask.

“Hmm, this special place is quite nice. If you don’t want it, I’ll take it. That shouldn’t be considered a violation of our agreement, right?” Lin Qi nodded.

After he advanced to the Fusion God Realm, he wanted to obtain more Law Stones. After all, the advanced meditation room was incredibly powerful, practically a holy land for cultivating profound martial arts techniques. And the fastest way to obtain more Law Stones was to occupy a special-grade exotic land.

Since Bai Luosha didn't want the extraordinary place before him, he certainly wouldn't be polite.

“That’s natural, but…” Red Demon looked at Lin Qi, who seemed quite interested in the extraordinary place, and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

He seriously doubted that Lin Qi had any idea how fierce the competition was.

The Obsidian Martial Arts Academy's current strength is indeed astonishing, but if they want to occupy a special-grade extraordinary place, let alone sending a Venerable and five thousand gray-robed disciples, even if they all went together, it would be far from enough; it would simply be a waste of manpower.

"Alright, Crimson Demon!" White Rakshasa immediately dissuaded him, "As long as it doesn't have a major impact on our team, it doesn't matter what Master Lin chooses."

"Yes." The Crimson Demon then fell silent and said no more.

Lin Qi and Chi Mo's words were overheard by many people from the surrounding major forces, and they couldn't help but laugh.

"This Master Lin is really out of his mind. Does he really think the Initial Star is some small place like the Black Mountain Star Region, where a Venerable and five thousand Fusion God Realm cultivators can take over a top-grade strange land?" Chi Long couldn't help but laugh as he watched the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy members enter the top-grade strange land. "Once Venerable Ming She and the others make their move, all the people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy will die. I wonder if Master Lin will be dumbfounded then."

Even the three major teams—they, Titan, and Celestials—did not dare to step into this first special-grade strange place. For a Venerable from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy and five thousand Fusion God Realm experts to enter would simply be a suicide mission.

An hour later, the space that had been opened in this extraordinary place suddenly closed, causing everyone in the city to look in that direction.

"The results are out so quickly?"

"As expected, the influence of the Nether Serpent team is too great; other teams are simply no match for them."

As everyone looked at the closed space, it proved that the extraordinary place already had an owner, and outsiders could no longer enter without an invitation. They couldn't help but sigh.

Although they knew that the Nether Serpent's team was strong, they did not expect them to be this strong. They determined the outcome in just one hour, which meant that everyone entered the special-grade strange place and quickly found the key, which was then snatched by the Nether Serpent immediately.

Just as everyone was discussing, a man with a body over ten meters tall, six arms, and a snake's body suddenly appeared in the closed space. It was the Nether Serpent himself, but his face was indescribably ugly.

"Nether Serpent? How did he get kicked out?"

"Didn't he obtain the key and become the master of the extraordinary place?"

Everyone was stunned when they saw the Nether Serpent suddenly appear.

To appear directly from outside the space of a Grade A Strange Land is something that only happens when someone is kicked out by the owner of a Grade A Strange Land. In the past, some Venerables from top forces were often kicked out by demigods when they entered a Grade A Strange Land to do business. It is considered the fastest way to leave a Grade A Strange Land.

However, just as everyone was confused, the space of the Special Grade Strange Land cracked open again, and two figures slowly walked out from it. One had red hair and blue eyes and was wearing heavy black armor, while the other was wearing silver-gray clothes. The two were Vanessa and Luo Wushang, who had entered the Special Grade Strange Land earlier.

The way the two appeared once again stunned everyone.

The space of the Special Grade Wonder Land has opened; this is a unique way for the master of the Special Grade Wonder Land to leave...
