Becoming the Lord God from Devouring

Chapter 124 The Final Battle: A Genius of Eternity Count

The first match in the quarterfinals was the highly anticipated early final.

The battle between the Demon Dragon Bruno and the Illusionary Fairy Flower Irene will determine who will be the contestant to challenge Wu Hao in the finals.

This battle garnered far more attention from the immortals present than any other competition, especially from the king-level powerhouses from the Virtual Universe Company.

Among these numerous small circles, one circle that has been crowned king stands out as particularly noteworthy.

"Zhenyan, who do you think will be Wu Hao's opponent in the finals?"

A tall ape-man looked at the two 'geniuses' who were about to be teleported in, a smile spreading across his fur-covered face.

He slowly shook his head and said, "Bruno, this kid's strength should be more than what he's shown. If Eileen's illusion magic is only what she's shown so far, she shouldn't be a match for Bruno!"

“Oh?” Another female immortal powerhouse had a different opinion. “Eileen’s illusion skills were personally trained by my sister from the Im Universe Kingdom, a peak-level King-ranking powerhouse. How could she possibly have someone who can withstand her at the Stellar level?”

"Hahaha!" The surrounding experts all laughed. It was indeed very tasteless for a disciple personally trained by a peak-level King Immortal to occupy a spot in the internal selection. If he lost, he would probably be a laughing stock and ridiculed for billions of years.

Soon the two stepped onto the ring, Bruno looked at Eileen with a solemn expression.

He rarely faced illusionists, especially such a powerful one. No one knew what methods the illusionist would use to hypnotize him and win.

"The first match of the semifinals, Bruno versus Erin, begins!"

As the system announced this, Bruno froze instantly, completely losing all reaction to the outside world.

Eileen immediately used her mental power to control ten throwing knives, which swiftly pierced Bruno's body.

In less than 0.001 seconds, the throwing knife had already penetrated Bruno's body, ready to pierce through him.

However, at that moment, the Dragon Horn Spear pierced through the arena, and Bruno unleashed his full power, knocking all the throwing knives out of his body.

"Impossible! What happened? How did you break free from my illusion?" Eileen exclaimed in disbelief, and then her entire body began to fly backward at high speed.

"Hahahaha, your illusion is powerful, but unfortunately it has absolutely no effect on me!" The dragon Bruno opened the helmet on his armor, revealing a hideous scar on his head. "Your illusion uses beautiful things to immerse people in them, thus silently killing them. But I am different! We Nakari live on a planet filled with raging winds, and our bodies are cut by wind blades every day. Over time, we have evolved a sense that finds excitement in pain. Your illusion has absolutely no effect on me!"

After finishing his explanation, the dragon sped up its pace again and slashed at Eileen's head with its blade.

And so the battle came to an end. Such a clean and decisive victory instantly drew gasps of amazement from all the onlookers.

"The universe is so vast, there are all sorts of wonders!" Wu Hao sighed to himself. In fact, Earthlings also have a talent for finding pleasure in pain, such as their love for chili peppers.

There are also people who like to play with cutting and masochism to seek thrills. I really can't understand this kind of fetish. In short, just respect it.

It's quite strange that the entire Nakari tribe is like this; they're a naturally M race.

“It’s a pity,” King Zhenyan shook his head. “Bruno is a bit special. Otherwise, if Eileen had changed the scene of the illusion, he should have been able to win. It’s just a pity that there is only one chance to fight in this competition.”

His friend, who was also a prince, nodded and said, "That guy, the Flower King, will probably be a laughing stock for many years to come."

Wu Hao was still somewhat disappointed that Eileen had failed in her battle.

After all, this was a good opportunity to test one's willpower, but unfortunately the opponent fell in the quarterfinals and failed to become an obstacle to his ascent to the top.

In the next two matches, Wu Hao had no interest in observing, and his opponent, Blood Axe, was just another cannon fodder on the road to the top. Several of the opponents Wu Hao encountered along the way were no less than him, but none of them could withstand a single blow from him.

The competition entered the semi-finals, and there was no suspense on either side. Demon Dragon defeated Blood Hand, and Wu Hao defeated Iron Ape with his sword, both advancing to the finals.

Standing on the final stage, Bruno and Wu Hao faced each other.

"We've finally come this far, Wu Hao!" Bruno stared at him, his aura surging. "Everyone says you're a genius that comes along only once in countless eras, and that none of us can compare to you. Today, I'll show you that I, Bruno, am absolutely worthy of that title!"

"Let's end the competition here!" Wu Hao looked down at the arena, where countless geniuses from the Virtual Universe Company were hidden in places that could not be seen.

Some were King-level experts, and some were Universe Venerables. They were watching this battle to see Wu Hao's true level.

"Bruno, you're lucky!" Wu Hao held the Divine Light Sword high, displaying absolute confidence. "Although you're not strong, in order for all the powerful figures below to see my true strength, you will have the opportunity to witness my strongest attack."

"Hahaha!" Bruno laughed maniacally, his flesh churning and his body swelling and growing several times larger: "Perfect timing, I'll show you my true, hidden strength!"

The battle was about to break out, and just as tensions were about to rise, a voice gradually spread throughout the surrounding area from the void.

"The final match between Bruno and Wu Hao, begin now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Hao instantly activated the fourth-order primary gene lock, changing his body in the virtual universe and beginning to convert his flesh and blood into light energy. In the blink of an eye, his energy-formed body presented thousands of illusory forms due to the distortion of the laws of light and time.

The Saiyan's fighting genes were enhanced and activated by the gene lock, causing his body to expand with energy-based muscles, and his physique began to grow exponentially.

Amidst the overwhelming illusion of gods, Wu Hao's Divine Light Sword stood tall, its blade radiating the power of the laws of light and time, as it slashed towards Bruno.

"Divine Light Flows Through the Third Stage—Sword, Light, Slash, Void!"

Along with him wielding the Divine Light Sword, there were a thousand illusory bodies whose flashing sword light enveloped the entire arena, engulfing Bruno.

From activating the gene lock and differentiating a thousand illusory bodies to using the sword light to slash through the air, Wu Hao's actions, which appear to be three-fold, actually take no more than 0.0005 seconds.

Almost as soon as Bruno unleashed his strongest attack, Wu Hao's attack also swept across a wide area. "Boom boom boom boom!"

A violent explosion covered the entire screen, making it impossible for even the most brilliant minds to see what was happening on the screen.

As the Nine Swords Venerable watched the match on the arena, his eyes widened suddenly, and certain thoughts arose in his mind.

"A stellar-level master of the third level of 'Divine Light Flows Away,' with over a thousand illusory bodies condensed. More importantly, his lifespan is only a little over 30 years. Such talent is one in a billion epochs. As long as he doesn't perish, he will definitely be able to reach the level of a cosmic venerable. Even more important is the weapon and style he uses..."

At this moment, not only the Nine Swords were having certain thoughts, but even some of the more ancient geniuses were also having certain ideas.

"The match is over, Wu Hao wins!"

The arena was silent like never before. When the match ended, all the powerful figures who had been crowned kings and sat together fell silent, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They knew Wu Hao was very strong, but they didn't expect him to be this strong.

The True King and his friend, who were just joking around, are now silent, watching the battle on the stage.

"What's wrong, Zhenyan? Want to take on a disciple?" A much larger, burly man next to King Zhenyan teased.

King Zhenyan immediately shook his head: "Wu Hao may be talented, but he's not part of our Nine Universes lineage. Even if he's interested, it's not something I can influence!"

"Hahaha!" The crowd laughed again, chatting amongst themselves about who might take Wu Hao as their disciple.

The Nine Swords Venerable finally arrived at the arena. He said in a gentle tone, "This Genius Battle is over. The top two will enter the Primordial Secret Realm, the third to eighth place will enter the Primordial Secret Realm, the ninth to the top one hundred will enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and the one hundredth to the top one thousand meters will enter the Apocalypse Secret Realm!"

"What? There's an extra spot for the Primal Secret Realm this time!" The immortals below the stage were buzzing with discussion, frantically debating the allocation of the spots.

"Wu Hao's strength has reached the level of billions of epochs, which meets the usual practice of increasing the number of slots. The Nine Swords' decision was correct!"

There were no objections from the audience below the Nine Swords Venerable. He spoke gently again, "The quality of the geniuses in your year is average. Only Wu Hao has reached the level of a true genius. But temporary success or failure is not the key. I hope that in the next few decades, I will see a few of you who will become famous throughout the universe."

"From now on, please stay in the branch office and do not go out. My Virtual Universe Company will send someone to take you into the Initial Universe."

"From now on, the headquarters of Virtual Universe Company will do its utmost to nurture your talents. We will provide you with the best platform, and how far you grow will depend on your efforts."

Finally, the selection battle came to an end, and Wu Hao left the virtual universe and returned to the real world.

After stretching his body, Wu Hao stepped out of the room and immediately encountered an unexpected powerful figure.

"King Gejian!" Wu Hao immediately bowed respectfully and called out respectfully.

"Haha, no need for that, Wu Hao, your performance this time was excellent!" King Ge Jian is a King-level Immortal of the Virtual Universe Company, and he is stationed in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom year-round, but he does not participate in any specific management affairs.

He is a disciple of the ruler of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and is under the management of a venerable figure at the headquarters of a certain virtual universe company. He doesn't usually get involved in affairs and only shows up in certain emergency situations.

Wu Hao didn't know who this king was originally. It was only when his classmates were discussing who the strongest king under the Qianwu Universe Kingdom was that the student from the royal family of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom couldn't help but reveal the identity of this king.

"Hahaha, little guy, you actually know me!" King Gejian's face was full of smiles. "This time, you've become famous throughout the entire Virtual Universe Company. Even the King of Qianwu Kingdom personally summoned me to protect you and prevent you from being assassinated by alien powerhouses."

Wu Hao quickly smiled slightly. His deliberate behavior in the final battle was to obtain more cultivation resources and more powerful protectors.

The event has just ended, and the effects are already immediately apparent, with powerful figures who have been granted the title of King coming to personally protect the person.

"Thank you for your attention, King Qianwu, and thank you, Lord Gejian!" Wu Hao quickly bowed again.

"Haha, no problem! As geniuses from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, we should get closer. If you need any help in the future, just email me in the virtual universe. As long as I'm not in deep cultivation or somewhere else, I'll definitely lend a hand if I can. Don't be shy about asking!" King Ge Jian was very familiar with Wu Hao, showing him around the virtual universe branch.

Until the two bumped into Lady, Lady's face was full of smiles. Although he had long expected Wu Hao to become the first place, he was still a little excited when the moment actually came.

"Congratulations, Wu Hao! This is the reward we promised you. Once you sign the agreement, these fifteen life-bearing planets will be yours!"

Wu Hao picked up the agreement and read it carefully. After seeing that there were no loopholes, he signed his name.

This tribe, called the Nami Winged Clan, comes from a medium-sized country called Zilan, which is under the jurisdiction of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

This country also has an immortal ruler, and its basic configuration is similar in size to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire on Earth, except that the country is larger and its overall strength is slightly stronger.

However, this country is too far away from where Wu Hao is now. It is only a little over ten million light-years away from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, where Earth is located.

"I have already arranged for someone to manage it over there. Don't worry, the ownership of this race is yours, and no one in charge will dare to touch it. Once you have completed the first stage of cultivation, you can go to the Purple Orchid Empire from the virtual universe to receive those planetary-level Nami Winged Races."

Wu Hao nodded. He would assign human hosts to manage the race's affairs when the time came. When Luo Hai grew up, he could have Luo Hai take care of him for a few years.

With a population of 200 billion, even if Luo Hai slept with ten people a day, it would still take him 2000 billion years to sleep. There's no need to worry about him not being around.

Moreover, races can reproduce, and by the time he has time to receive them, the population here might already be in the trillions.

Moreover, as Ultraman's true form, he can be summoned by human hosts using a summoning device regardless of distance. At that time, he can even choose several more human hosts at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

By then, his human forms will be scattered throughout the universe, and he will be able to teleport freely between universes like an immortal-level powerhouse.
