Devour: Emperor Yan

From this day forward.

Lin Kun became very busy, with his days fully scheduled.

Compact and substantial.

He regularly cultivates the Great Void Soul Bell and comprehends its laws.

Sometimes when I'm tired, I'll read ancient Earth texts to relax, or I'll occasionally get together with Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen, or go to the killing arena for a battle...

Then every three months, Lin Kun would attend Teacher Manluo's lectures and raise any questions he had accumulated.

I had a fulfilling time and made great progress.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, more than two years have passed.

this day.

A dramatic event suddenly occurred over Heilongshan Island.

......

Virtual universe, Heilongshan Island.

The continents and islands in the virtual universe also have day and night cycles.

They even simulated a star in the sky.

At this time, it was nighttime.

Lights twinkled in many places across Heilongshan Island, and bars and other entertainment venues were brightly lit, just like before.

However, suddenly...

In the night sky above Heilongshan Island, an enormous black notice suddenly appeared out of thin air, its edges radiating light!

On this entirely black notice board, there were universally recognized characters emitting a dazzling white light:

The Ultimate Battle of Human Geniuses in the Universe!

Once every ten thousand years!

Coming soon!

It is jointly organized by Virtual Universe Company and all the universe nations!

Are you a genius? Can't find any rivals of your own level and rank?

Then come and participate in the ultimate genius battle!

Here, humanity from across the universe, numerous cosmic nations, and billions of geniuses will engage in fierce battles!

For more details, please visit the official website of Virtual Universe Company through the virtual assistant.

......

The enormous notice that suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the night sky was over a million kilometers long and wide. Even on Black Dragon Mountain Island, which has a population of hundreds of millions, anyone who looked up could clearly see the notice!

"Is another battle of geniuses about to begin?"

"Sigh... unfortunately, this is destined to be none of my business..."

"The battle of ultimate geniuses is about to begin? Hahaha! This is going to be crazy again!"

"A battle between billions of geniuses from all of humanity's universe?"

"A grand, unprecedented event for the entire human race!"

"I've heard that if you can get into the top 1,000 in the entire universe, there will be an incredibly huge reward?"

"That's right, it's hosted by Virtual Universe Company, the rewards must be extremely high!"

"Such grand events are held twice every ten thousand years, once hosted by the Virtual Universe Company and once by the Giant Axe Arena!"

"Let's go check out the official website."

......

The entire virtual universe was in an uproar at that moment.

On every continent representing a cosmic nation, and on every island representing a medium-sized nation in the universe, a huge black banner appeared in the sky above them.

Every announcement was a publicity stunt: the upcoming Battle of the Ultimate Geniuses of the Universe.

In just one night, the news spread throughout all the territories of the entire human race.

This message was received wherever there was access to the virtual universe.

The speed at which messages are transmitted is terrifying, demonstrating the wonder of the virtual universe network.

......

Zi Huan Star is located in a small manor on the outskirts of Zi Huan City.

In the small garden, the purple gromwell flowers are in full bloom, their branches swaying gently in the breeze.

In the study, the fragrance of flowers drifted slowly in through the open window, mingling with the aroma of tea and ink, creating a refreshing and calming sensation that soothed the mind and body.

Before his desk, Lin Kun stood calmly, holding a brush in one hand, slowly writing on the paper.

He murmured, "The highest good is like water...water benefits all things without striving...therefore none can contend with it!"

"A raging flood, with its towering waves, can destroy everything, but a gentle stream can nourish all things; it is the source of life..."

"The universe, the starry sky, heaven and earth, nature... The wisdom of the ancient Chinese is profound and extensive, with a high level of thought and philosophy. However, due to limitations in the body and mind, they did not embark on the path of evolution and were unable to explore higher realms."

"Otherwise, given their mental fortitude, they would undoubtedly become powerful figures of their generation!"

"What a pity."

Lin Kun put down his brush, took a sip of tea, and slowly walked to the window, gazing at the blooming purple irises in the garden.

Earth is truly a wondrous cradle of creation.

Those born there possess a spiritual advantage.

Even just being influenced by its ideas can be very beneficial.

Lin Kun sighed inwardly.

Over the years, he has read many ancient books about the world and feels that he has gained a lot.

It's as if one's thoughts and spirit have been elevated to a higher level.

Time flies...

suddenly.

"Master, Thor has invited you to a call," the smart assistant prompted.

"Um?"

Lin Kun snapped out of his reverie. "The third brother is looking for me?"

For the past three years, Thor has been training diligently with the intelligent life form "Mist," enduring harsh training and rarely showing his face.

Why would they suddenly contact me now?

Could it be!

"Log in to the virtual universe network."

Lin Kun immediately closed his eyes slightly and diverted most of his consciousness into the virtual universe.

At the same time, Luo Feng and Hong's consciousnesses also entered the virtual universe network simultaneously.

......

Virtual Universe, Jiuxingwan Community.

Lin Kun pushed open the door and walked out. Looking around, he saw several small wooden houses standing on the grass not far away.

At this moment, Luo Feng and Hong also appeared. The three looked at each other and smiled slightly.

These brothers have been cultivating diligently on their own for some time now, so it's rare to see them all gathered together like this today.

Just as they were about to greet each other.

At this moment, Thor shouted, "Big brother, second brother, fourth brother, you've finally arrived! Look up!"

"Oh?" Lin Kun raised an eyebrow and looked up.

"What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss?" Hong Xiao glanced at Thor, then looked up as well.

Luo Feng was also full of doubt, and then looked up at the night sky.

Then, Lin Kun, Luo Feng, and Hong all trembled slightly and were stunned.

In the night sky, high above, an enormous black, glowing banner stretched out like a celestial curtain.

No matter where you are on Heilongshan Island, you can see it clearly with just one glance.

"The battle of ultimate geniuses is finally about to begin?!"

Both Hong and Luo Feng's pupils contracted, and a glint of light flashed in their eyes.

Since the beginning of the interdimensional world, they have been silently waiting for this day.

This day came much sooner than expected.

The few years Lin Kun mentioned were only a little over three years...

Here comes it!

......

"This is insane!" Hong couldn't help but gasp.

How vast and boundless is the universe?

No one can explain it clearly.

How vast is the human realm?

Not to mention the many secret realms, divine kingdoms, and countless worlds ruled by realm masters.

The Qianwu Universe Kingdom alone has over ten million star fields and over a hundred million star systems!

If the top genius of every star system were brought out and all of them were added together, the entire Qianwu Universe would be able to gather at least more than 100 million Hengxing-level ninth-tier geniuses!

"This day has finally come. How interesting!" Luo Feng narrowed his eyes, a strong desire welling up in his heart.

Perhaps because he suffered from headaches since childhood, he has a kind of obsession and madness hidden in his bones.

This situation became even worse after they possessed the Golden Horned Beast.

Hong, standing to the side, also slowly clenched his fist, his heart filled with anticipation.

After more than three years of hard work, he has now mastered the sixth level of the Light Domain!

Coupled with his past experience as an assassin, his composure and forbearance, and his mastery of power... he was confident that even if he encountered someone at the seventh level of the Domain Realm, he could put up a fight.
