Chapter 63 The Name of the God of Slaughter

Day 14 of the qualifiers, First World Zone, City 45.

On the rooftop of a towering, spiral-shaped skyscraper in the eastern part of the city.

The spear's edge receded, Shen Mu's eyes gradually cleared, and then he exhaled a long breath.

"The nature of the laws is still too complex; if you are not careful, your understanding will be flawed."

Shen Mu is currently in a competition and cannot log into his dedicated teaching space. He has to rely entirely on burying himself in his studies to analyze the essence of things, which is not very effective.

"The qualifiers are almost halfway over, so the韭菜 (leeks, a metaphor for retail investors) should be thriving by now."

The preliminary rounds have the highest elimination rate in the entire Genius Battle, truly a process of weeding out the weak.

Those who can survive for half a month, apart from those who are adept at hiding, are all elites. They have a lot of points in their hands, making them more efficient at reaping rewards.

Shen Mu had no intention of hiding his strength; his goal was to be number one in the preliminary rounds of the world region and be directly promoted to the final stage of the all-universe competition.

Luo Feng deliberately concealed his abilities to train himself in the arena battles, but for Shen Mu, the arena battles were meaningless for training and it was more practical to cultivate on his own.

A faint light shone from the spatial ring on Shen Mu's right index finger, and the large spear in his palm vanished instantly.

At the same time, a translucent ice-shard spear hovered directly in front of Shen Mu, with fine light blue runes covering the entire spear, and an extremely cold aura emanated from it.

When it comes to harvesting韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting people), the methods of spiritual masters are more efficient.

Shen Mu's figure flashed, appearing directly on the street. More than half a month had passed, and the streets were covered with dried bloodstains and mutilated corpses.

hum!

With his invisible spiritual energy spreading out, Shen Mu openly and boldly probed his surroundings, making no attempt to conceal himself.

As Shen Mu's mental power swept through the buildings, nine figures flew out simultaneously, and once they were discovered, there was no need for them to hide anymore.

The nine people all had solemn expressions. They must have the strength to sweep through so openly.

"Friend, you..."

A young winged human holding a long, narrow scimitar had just opened his mouth when he was met with a blast of extremely cold air.

An invisible and formless stream of extreme cold swept out, containing a rich power of primordial laws, transforming into a chilling realm of ice and snow.

Instantly, within a radius of several hundred meters around Shen Mu, countless buildings were covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, everything was frozen, and the nine people were directly transformed into ice sculptures.

Faced with Shen Mu's mastery of the fundamental laws of water, the nine people had no ability to resist.

Huh, huh, huh!

Nine streams of light shot out from the Frost God Weapon behind Shen Mu, their azure glow weaving into exquisite arcs in mid-air, piercing through his brow amidst the horrified gazes of the nine people.

The ranking and points data on Shen Mu's wrist screen started flashing again.

Participant: Shen Mu (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Points: 235414

Ranking: 1229

Half a month has passed since the start of the qualifiers, and the surviving participants have accumulated at least several thousand points, making it much more efficient to collect them than at the beginning.

Next, Shen Mu began to walk through the city, his invisible mental power sweeping across the streets, unleashing a series of massacres, and clearing out groups of contestants in droves.

The contestants who survived for more than half a month without being eliminated were at least at the second or third level of the cultivation realm, but there wasn't even a single genius who had comprehended the power of laws.

After all, there are only a few hundred Eternal Star-level beings in the entire Qianwu Universe who have crossed the threshold of the laws, and more than 90% of them are Eternal Star-level members in the Qianwu Secret Realm.

Divided equally among 100 world zones, within each world zone, the number of geniuses who cross the threshold of the laws is basically in the single digits.

In just one day, Shen Mu killed more than 9400 contestants, and countless others escaped in the chaos.

After all, Shen Mu didn't have the ability to hunt down everyone; that was unrealistic. Such a bloody record earned Shen Mu the title of "God of Slaughter."

With the escaped contestants, the name "God of Slaughter" resounded throughout the entire city of 45.

Everyone knew that the legendary player who used to treat the qualifiers as a testing ground, constantly practicing his marksmanship, had suddenly become serious. In just one day, he had eliminated nearly ten thousand participants, demonstrating unfathomable skill.

……

High above the First World Zone, there is an invisible barrier.

The diaphragm is at an altitude of approximately 10,000 meters, and all participants can fly up to a maximum altitude of about 9,000 meters. Above that is the spectator area.

Spaceships flew slowly over the viewing area, offering a direct view of the entire world zone.

Because of the large number of participants, the preliminary rounds are not broadcast to the public. To watch the matches, one must pay to enter the observation area on a spaceship, and the price is extremely high.

In a spacious private room on one of the spaceships, the Shen Mu family, the Luo Feng family, and the leaders of the Extreme Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School were all present.

"It's Third Uncle! Third Uncle's ranking has risen so fast!"

A beautifully sculpted little girl exclaimed in surprise in Xu Xin's arms, her big eyes looking adorably innocent.

This is Luo Feng's daughter, Luo Xu. Due to the butterfly effect caused by Shen Mu, Luo Feng did not have a child until 2062, just before joining the Qianwu Secret Realm. She is a lovely little princess.

On the screen, Shen Mu's points and ranking suddenly skyrocketed, soaring to 342nd in the world rankings in just half an hour.

Shen Gang grinned and said, "As expected of my son!"

Chen Wen rolled her eyes at Shen Gang, muttered "shameless" under her breath, and then looked proud and happy.

Tang Yongqing looked at the adorable baby in Xu Xin's arms with a hint of envy, and reached out to pinch her little cheek: "Little Xu'er, your dad has been surpassed by your third uncle!"

Little Luo Xu wrinkled her nose and snorted, "Daddy's stupid!"

Seeing the adorable and innocent Luo Xu, all the adults in the room couldn't help but smile.

No one doubted that Shen Mu and Luo Feng would fail the preliminary rounds. Although they didn't have a concrete idea of ​​the two's strength, they were aware of the prestige of the Qianwu Secret Realm.

Therefore, everyone's attention was mainly focused on Hong and Lei Shen's rankings.

Hong is alright. He possesses eight domains and has faintly sensed the fluctuations of the laws, which means he has touched the threshold of the laws. With such strength, it is almost no surprise that he will pass the preliminary rounds.

However, Thor's chances are a bit uncertain. If everything goes smoothly, he might still be able to break into the top 1000 in the world. He has the strength to reach the sixth level of the Domain, but there's a risk of unexpected events.

……

Day 15 of the qualifiers.

City 45 was struck by a catastrophe.

The "God of Slaughter" has gone completely mad, killing anyone he sees and aiming to wipe out the entire city.

Such behavior naturally aroused public outrage.

The city's top 50 strongest individuals, including 23 super-strong individuals such as "Fire Axe" and "Thunder Sword," chose to join forces to resist and eliminate the "God of Slaughter."

But the result stunned everyone. An extremely cold water domain enveloped the sky and earth, and as soon as the battle began, everyone turned into crystal-clear ice sculptures.

No one could withstand even a single blow from the "God of Slaughter," not even a counterattack.

The one-sided battle scene terrified many of those secretly watching.

In the entire city of 45, aside from the eliminated contestants, almost everyone chose to flee. Perhaps a few contestants remained hidden, unaware of the outside world, but they were definitely few in number.

In an instant, the entire city was almost turned into a ghost town, completely silent.
