Humans are devouring, drawing cards from all realms, starting with Yang Jian.

The battle between Rong Jun and Luo Feng was recorded by countless people and spread wildly in the virtual universe.

The names of Rong Jun and Luo Feng resounded throughout the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

"Our Qianwu Universe Kingdom has truly produced a golden generation this year!"

"Let's not even talk about that monster Jiang Ming. Luo Feng and Rong Jun would have been top 1000 in the universe in previous years! They might even have a chance to break into the top ten!"

"Three contestants with the potential to enter the top ten of the universe! This has never happened before in the history of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom!"

"Hahaha! Let's see if other cosmic nations dare to call our Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom a barbaric wasteland again!"

"Peerless Genius Battle! Let it begin! I can't wait to see them utterly crush the geniuses from other universes!"

The entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom was filled with anticipation.

Looking forward to that real feast!

A battle of the universe's most outstanding geniuses.

.......

Time passed slowly amidst anticipation.

September 6, 2070 (Chinese calendar)

On this day, the eyes of the entire human world were focused on the virtual universe.

Because today marks the official start of the battle of the universe's top geniuses!

1008 cosmic nations and countless geniuses will compete on the same stage to determine the true number one in the universe!

On various continents and islands in the virtual universe, millions of exceptional geniuses from the 1008 Universe Kingdom teleported to the gathering places of their respective kingdoms.

A floating island above the continent of Qianwu.

The central plaza of the floating island.

At this moment, thousands of people have gathered here.

These people are all contestants who have fought their way out of countless geniuses in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

They come from different star systems, different races, and have different appearances and auras.

But at this moment, everyone's eyes are focused in the same direction.

There, a golden light descended from the sky.

The golden light dissipated, revealing a tall, slender figure.

He wore silver armor, with a fine silver pattern between his brows, and exuded a calm yet unfathomable aura.

Jiang Ming.

The square fell silent for a moment.

Then, a tremendous uproar erupted!

"It's him! Jiang Ming!"

"That monster that destroyed the world zone!"

"My God, seeing him up close, the sense of oppression is even stronger!"

Countless gazes fell upon Jiang Ming, filled with awe, curiosity, fighting spirit, and a mix of emotions.

Jiang Ming walked calmly towards the center of the square.

Two figures walked towards him from the crowd at the same time.

Luo Feng, Rong Jun.

"Brother Jiang."

Luo Feng greeted him with a smile.

Rong Jun stared straight at Jiang Ming, his eyes burning with intense fighting spirit.

"Jiang Ming, I know I can't beat you right now."

He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"But one day, I will catch up with you and defeat you."

Jiang Ming looked at the wild-looking young man and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"I'll be waiting."

Rong Jun burst into laughter, his laughter like thunder.

At that moment, a majestic voice resounded throughout the entire square.

"The 1000 geniuses of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom will be led by me, as ordered by the King."

A giant wearing a scale armor robe and a helmet walked over, his aura as natural as the arrival of death.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, instilling a sense of dread in everyone!

"Jiang Ming, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun, you three are the most confident of winning a place among our group from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

In previous years, all three of you have had the potential to break into the top ten.

The giant in the scale armor had a majestic voice.

"Especially you, Jiang Ming, with your strength, you are absolutely number one in this year's competition."

"Therefore, your generation is also known as the 'Golden Generation.' The King has high expectations for you, and you must not disappoint him."

"The giant in the scale armor said."

Jiang Ming had also been paying attention to the previous battle between Luo Feng and Rong Jun. After possessing a special life form, Luo Feng's strength had increased dramatically.

Whether it was due to some fortuitous encounter or the appearance of this "catfish," Rong Jun displayed even greater strength.

.........

Led by the giant in the scaled armor, a thousand geniuses were simultaneously teleported to a brand-new plane created in the virtual universe.

This is a vast continent.

Jiang Ming, Luo Feng, and the giant in the scale armor leading the group, a total of 1001 people, appeared on this continent at the same time.

Looking out from above the mainland, 1008 buildings naturally form a ring in the distance, and in the center of these 1008 buildings is a beautiful square filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

At this moment, the beautiful square was filled with young men and women from various cosmic countries strolling and chatting casually; at a glance, there were at least more than 100,000 people.

There are towering giants over 30 meters tall with skin as hard as rock; there are miniature races less than half a meter long that float in mid-air; there are fiery red beings who seem to be burning; and there are beautiful humans with skin as clear and translucent as works of art...

All shapes and sizes, strange and wonderful.

But at this moment, everyone's eyes were on the other universe nations' opponents.

As Jiang Ming and his group stepped into the square, they instantly attracted countless eyes.

"The Qianwu Universe Kingdom has arrived."

"That guy in silver armor is Jiang Ming? He doesn't look particularly special."

"Don't be careless. I watched his combat video. He destroyed an entire world zone with a single move. The power of that attack might be close to or even reach the level of a World Lord!"

"Don't be careless. I watched his combat video. He destroyed an entire world zone with a single move. The power of that attack might be close to or even reach the level of a World Lord!"

"World Lord level? Are you kidding me! Even peak geniuses use bodies at the ninth level of the Eternal Star realm, how could they possibly unleash World Lord level attacks?"

"Virtual Universe's videos don't lie; you'll see for yourself."

Whispers could be heard everywhere.

Jiang Ming remained calm as he surveyed the square.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp gaze.

It was a figure shrouded in a black cloak, its face obscured, only a pair of deep, dark eyes staring intently at him.

His gaze held undisguised killing intent and fighting spirit.

"Jiang Ming".

The figure spoke, its voice hoarse and deep.

"My name is Galesi! Galesi, the 'Phantom Demon' of the Howling God Clan!"

"Remember this name, because I will kill you in the ring."

Jiang Ming glanced at him but did not respond, instead scanning the many geniuses in the square.

"Are you all here to compete for second place?"

Galesi's face instantly darkened.

"Arrogant!"

The faces of the geniuses from other cosmic nations also turned grim.

Every genius is extremely proud and will not easily submit to anyone, even though Jiang Ming is the undisputed number one in this year's competition.

But many geniuses still disagree.

All eyes turned to Jiang Ming.

The gaze of ordinary people has no power, but these people are all super geniuses, even the weakest of whom is an invincible 'star domain-level genius' who roams a star domain.

These people's gaze is naturally different from that of ordinary people; it carries their will and spiritual strength.

The gaze of 100,000 super geniuses is no less pressure than that of 100,000 C-grade laser guns.

But Jiang Ming simply smiled in response.

"Weren't you all here to see me win the championship?"

Hearing Jiang Ming's arrogant words, even the geniuses of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom couldn't help but look at Jiang Ming.

"I will thank you all for attending my championship celebration."

After Jiang Ming finished speaking, he walked towards a passageway in the square, leaving behind a group of geniuses with ashen faces.
