Chapter 23 An Insurmountable Gap

From the moment the battle of geniuses began, it stirred up a massive wave in every universe nation, attracting the attention of countless people.

The peak battle of geniuses from the 1008 Universe Nation is now eagerly anticipated by countless people from various Universe Nation countries. However, the elimination of the trial is not being broadcast publicly; only the rankings are being broadcast.

Even so...

Countless humans across various universes still feel incredibly excited every time the rankings change.

In the virtual universe, on many islands of the Golden Mist Continent.

Countless people gathered around four giant screens that floated above their respective cities, watching the battle promotional videos on the screens.

Virtual Universe Company will produce promotional videos for every participant who ranks in the top 1,000 of the trials.

At that moment, one of the screens was playing a promotional video for their Golden Orchid Universe Kingdom's unparalleled genius—'Demon God Lu Ming'.

"The promotional video for Demon God Lu Ming is finally out!"

"He's a peerless genius, ranked number one in the entire universe within the Trial Space, and he's from my Golden Orchid Universe Kingdom!"

"The last time I saw his live stream was during the qualifiers, and now I can finally see him again!"

"The Demon God is invincible!"

……

Amidst the crowd's intense emotions, the large screen on the street displayed a vast, desolate wasteland.

On this wasteland, there are ten enormous creatures with dark gold bodies, some lying down and others walking and patrolling – the star beasts "Cang"!

"My God, that's the colossal celestial beast 'Cang'!"

The origin of the ten monsters is thoughtfully explained on the side of the screen.

Many citizens of the universe also know that these ten monsters are actually the legendary, mysterious and powerful star beasts that contain innate secret techniques—Cang!

As the darlings of the source of gold, they are ferocious and possess astonishing fighting power.

The ten colossal star beasts "Cang" in the picture are about 300 meters long, with tails almost as long as their bodies. Their entire bodies are covered in dark gold scales, and there are sharp bony plates standing upright on their backs.

Their bald heads were covered in scales, and their huge eyes had triangular pupils that looked extremely cold and bloodthirsty. Their wide, blood-red mouths were even more chilling!

Even just through the screen, you can feel the menacing aura emanating from it.

The demon god actually wants to deal with ten of these terrifying monsters at once!

"Hum!"

In the scene, the ten colossal star beasts "Cang" simultaneously turned their heads, their enormous heads looking at the tiny human who had intruded into the wasteland world, and suddenly set off!

Facing ten enormous beasts rushing towards him at breakneck speed, Lu Ming showed no fear whatsoever, advancing instead of retreating!

The terrifying lightning emanating from his body formed a spherical spatial domain, instantly enveloping all ten giant beasts within it!

Visibly, the ten giant beasts suddenly froze for a moment, and he instantly transformed into a black lightning bolt, rushing straight towards the nearest 'Cang'!

The colossal celestial beast "Cang" was ferocious and roared, but it was helpless against the incredibly agile black lightning.

The azure blue, fifth-tier Force weapon, the "Star Tempering Spear," was surrounded by a thin layer of blazing white lightning, revealing an extremely violent and astonishing aura that seemed capable of destroying everything!

"Swoosh!" As if it encountered no resistance, the azure-blue Star-Forging Spear easily pierced through the dark red scales covering the neck of the 'Azure' beast, and then a blinding flash of lightning instantly shone from the wound!

Rumble...

In an instant, a mist of blood filled the air!

The seemingly invincible celestial behemoth 'Cang' was actually suppressed and killed by Lu Ming with a single spear thrust!

"Roar!" The other nine giant beasts saw that the situation was not good and began to flee frantically, but in just a moment, Lu Ming caught up with them one by one and killed them one by one!

"My God, that's a cosmic behemoth!"

Once they came to their senses, the audience gaped in disbelief.

Although 'Cang' does not belong to the twelve peak bloodlines of the legendary star beasts, any one of them would be considered invincible among humans of the same level.

This being, who could be considered invincible at the star level, was so vulnerable in front of Lu Ming, and was even at his mercy!

Is this the power that the Demon God Lu Ming possesses?

Their Golden Mist Universe Kingdom has actually produced such an incredible genius!

……

The battle continues in millions of trial spaces.

The third trial tower, the seventh floor.

The stunningly beautiful girl wielding the red demon sword remained calm and collected. With a sudden slash, she created countless wind blades that annihilated the swarm of insects before her!

boom!

The sharp blade flashed and annihilated the swarm of insects time and time again, killing one green mantis after another, but her killing speed was still not fast enough!

In just a moment, she was overwhelmed by the swarm of insects!

"I've been eliminated!" The stunningly beautiful girl lowered her proud head in resentment.

Meanwhile, another trial space.

The young man from the Leie tribe held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, watching with bated breath as the blood-red beasts surged toward him!

In an instant, he was thrown back by the continuous impact, and then trampled by countless blood-red mammoths, causing him to lose consciousness.

By this time, nearly a million geniuses had already been eliminated in the central square.

brush!brush!brush!brush!

Within a few seconds, more than ten figures were simultaneously teleported to the central square.

"Saga, you've finally come out!"

"Rudy, Maya, you two really can't wish me well!" The green-browed youth, 'Saga,' glared at the two men with annoyance.

"Let's not talk about that yet, tell us which floor you've reached?" The two looked at each other with smiles.

"The fourth one, first level!" Saga took a deep breath and couldn't help but curse, "That fourth trial tower's difficulty increase is insanely high! I was trampled to death by those blood-haired mammoths as soon as I entered the first level!"

"You were relatively lucky to be trampled to death. I was swallowed whole by that giant star beast 'Cang'!" Rudy, the fiery red curly-haired youth, shrugged, looking helpless.

"That's right, I still got eaten to death by a bunch of bugs!" The usually quiet sword demon youth, Maya, chimed in.

"Moreover, you only died in the fourth trial tower, so your score is much higher than ours!" As core geniuses of the Golden Orchid Dojo, Rudy and Maya both fell in the third trial tower, while Saga only died on the first floor of the fourth trial tower. This performance was already much better than theirs.

"After the three of us die, he'll be the only one left at the Jinlan Dojo, that monster-like guy!" After truly witnessing the terrifying power of the universe's top geniuses, Saga realized how narrow-minded and ridiculous he had been in the past.

However, he once regarded "Lu Ming" as his goal, which could be considered a kind of "farsightedness"?

"Yes, now he's the only one left at the Jinlan Dojo." The three of them turned their heads together and looked at the central square.

There were a thousand screens there, displaying live streams of the top one thousand ranked participants in the trial space.

The screens were arranged in order, so the three of them immediately saw Lu Ming's familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the first screen.

Hundreds of thousands of eliminated participants are gazing at the screen above, discussing amongst themselves in their own groups.

"Demon God Lu Ming is too monstrous; he's completely left everyone else behind!"

"They've already reached the fifth level of the fifth trial tower so quickly! The fastest other top geniuses have only just entered the first level!"

"The others slowed down starting from the fourth trial tower, but his speed only slowed down on the fifth. They're clearly not in the same league!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, the number one ranked character in this Trial Tower should be the Demon God Lu Ming!"

"It's hard to say. Many strong individuals haven't truly unleashed their power yet, and there might be a chance they could overtake others later on, but I think that's unlikely..."

Saga, Rudy, and the others listened to the discussions among the other geniuses and exchanged wry smiles.

They have all been eliminated early, while Lu Ming is considered by many to have a chance to take first place; the gap is indeed too big.
