Chapter 19 The Calm Before the Storm

Virtual universe, private training room.

"Master, the preliminary rounds for most universe nations have already concluded. This is a report sent by the Jinlan Dojo, which includes a list of the most outstanding super geniuses from other universe nations." The auxiliary computer 'Alice' quickly unfolded a nine-square grid-shaped screen in the air.

On the nine split screens, exciting battle scenes of super geniuses are playing, while basic information about each genius is displayed on the side of the screen.

"The 'Heavenly Fire' of the Nine Flames Universe Kingdom, the 'Remnant Dream' of the Netherworld Universe Kingdom, the 'War Emperor' of the Profound Netherworld Universe Kingdom..." Lu Ming's eyes swept over the information of these super geniuses, but his gaze remained calm.

This calmness stems from confidence in one's own strength!

"Master, the one who is generally recognized as the strongest in this year's Genius Battle is this genius from the Xuanming Universe Kingdom. His title is 'Battle Emperor,' and he is an extremely powerful martial artist."

"Furthermore, the illusionist genius 'Remnant Dream' from the Youyuan Universe Kingdom is also a significant threat. Even the 'Battle Emperor' might be in danger if he encounters him. Once his soul defense techniques fail to withstand his soul attacks, he will be completely at the mercy of his opponent..."

While Lu Ming calmly reviewed the intelligence reports on the top geniuses of various cosmic nations, his intelligence had already caught the attention of other top geniuses. However, the intelligence report only recorded his situation five years ago.

Now, five years later, that intelligence is long gone.

……

Peak Rock Universe Kingdom, at the center of an elliptical galaxy, is dominated by a massive supermassive black hole that controls the entire galaxy's operation.

Not far from the edge of the black hole's accretion disk lies a massive planet, almost entirely a magma ball due to the influence of its active core.

Above the ocean of lava stood a castle, where an elegant young woman in a red dress listened to the explanation given by a female realm lord of similarly remarkable bearing.

"...Miss Tiffany, a genius who poses a threat to you has also emerged in the Golden Mist Universe Kingdom. His title is 'Demon God,' and like 'War Emperor,' he is a martial artist. However, he specializes in the fundamental laws of lightning and time. Furthermore, the secret techniques and weapons he uses are..."

"Oh? To be able to integrate the fundamental laws of time into one's own domain, this demon god is not to be underestimated. Moreover, this guy is among the youngest. Five years have passed, and his progress must be considerable. He could indeed become a formidable opponent." After listening to all of Lu Ming's information, the girl in the red dress also turned serious.

The female realm master smiled and continued, "Miss, you have reached a very high level of understanding of the laws of fire and space. The Blood Blade Divine Weapon you use combines both attack and speed characteristics, which gives you a significant advantage when facing a pure martial artist like yourself."

"On the contrary, the illusionist from the Youyuan Universe Kingdom has a soul attack ability that no one has yet seen the limit of. If you face him, Miss, you must be extra careful," the female realm master carefully reminded the girl in the red dress.

"I've almost mastered the third level of my 'Flame Soul' secret technique. I'm confident I can withstand the illusionary attack of this 'Remnant Dream'!" The girl in the red dress seemed very confident in her soul.

"Then I wish Miss all the best in making it into the 'Primal Secret Realm'." The female realm master said with an expectant smile.

at the same time.

The Celestial Universe Kingdom, a vast divine kingdom.

In the empty temple, a blue-haired youth, his entire body wreathed in eerie blue flames and with two strange tentacles sprouting from his forehead, was chanting names one after another: "...'Heavenly Fire' Fike... 'War Emperor' Kun Zhou... 'Demon God' Lu Ming... I, Boros, will surely defeat you all!"

His unwavering voice contained his strong conviction.

……

Soon, the Virtual Universe Company sent out a notification email for the finals, and the participating teams from various universe nations quickly began to assemble.

A virtual universe, a floating island above the Jinlan Continent.

brush!

Lu Ming appeared at the teleportation point on the floating island.

"Mr. Lu Ming, please come this way." A cosmic-level warrior standing next to the teleportation point, dressed in work clothes, smiled and pointed to a path beside him.

"Thank you." Lu Ming smiled and nodded, then walked directly along the road.

moment--

Lu Ming saw a large group of people gathered in a square surrounded by beautiful flowers and plants not far away. At first glance, there were hundreds of people, men and women, with different appearances.

"The demon god has arrived."

"That great demon!"

Many young men and women looked over at the same time.

"Lu Ming, hello. My name is Elena. Whether our Golden Orchid Universe Kingdom can achieve good results in the Genius Battle depends entirely on you, the 'Great Demon God'."

A petite girl with long chestnut hair suddenly walked up to Lu Ming and greeted him with a smile.

"Miss Elena, you flatter me." Lu Ming looked at her.

The chestnut-haired girl simply nodded.

Seeing that Lu Ming had no intention of talking to her any longer, Elena could only retreat dejectedly.

She had thought that her status and looks would attract this unparalleled genius, but now it seems she was overthinking it.

"Elena, I told you long ago, a genius like Lu Ming would never be interested in you. Look at me, I'm not bad either..." After the chestnut-haired girl's attempt to flirt failed, an honest and simple-minded green-haired young man immediately came over to comfort her.

"Ceremony, I don't want to talk to you right now!" Irena ignored the green-haired youth and walked to the group of other female geniuses.

Witnessing this farce unfold, Lu Ming couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

Sudden--

"Boom!" An invisible pressure covered the entire square, and the faces of the thousand peerless geniuses turned pale, their bodies trembling slightly.

Because Lu Ming had undergone a transformation in his will, he didn't really feel anything special about this kind of pressure on consciousness that was simply aimed at the Hengxing level.

Under the watchful eyes of Lu Ming and many other geniuses, a handsome man with a full head of blond hair, wearing golden armor and even a golden cloak walked out.

Although this handsome man wasn't targeting anyone in particular, the subtle aura he naturally exuded was enough to make people afraid to look him in the eye.

Of course, this does not include Lu Ming.

"As ordered by the King, I will lead the team in this year's Genius Battle." The golden-armored deity's voice continued to echo throughout the square: "You may call me General Jiuyue, or you may simply call me Lord Jiuyue."

The Nine Mountains Divine General's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Lu Ming: "Lu Ming, among this group from my Golden Mist Universe Kingdom, you are the one with the best chance and the most certainty of not being eliminated."

"The king has high hopes for you. Don't let him down, understand?" The Nine Mountains Divine General's blue eyes met Lu Ming's.

"Understood." Lu Ming nodded respectfully, his gaze calm.

Although the King of Jinlan Kingdom did not directly accept him as a disciple, he did provide a lot of guidance and assistance in his cultivation.

After nodding in satisfaction, the Nine Mountains Divine General glanced at the others and said coldly, "As for you all, do your best to try and get into the top 1,000 in the universe!"

Having said that, the Nine Mountains Divine General, disregarding whether any of these geniuses were dissatisfied, coldly continued, "Now, everyone, follow me!"

Soon, this group of peerless geniuses from various star regions of the Golden Mist Universe Kingdom, led by the Nine Mountains Divine General, were simultaneously teleported to a brand-new plane created by the virtual universe.

This is a vast continent.

There are 1008 skyscrapers surrounding a beautiful square filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. At this time, many young men and women from various universes are strolling and chatting in that beautiful square. At a glance, there are at least more than 100,000 people.

The Jinlan Universe Kingdom's team was stationed at Building 0513, and the Nine Mountains Divine General, clad in golden armor, led the team to fly towards the plaza.

"Land!" The Nine Mountains Divine General's voice boomed.

The geniuses from the Golden Mist Universe Kingdom quickly landed at the edge of the plaza, and then walked directly along the road towards Building 0513. The plaza had special passages leading to each building.
