LRAB Chapter 676 Refining a World-Class Chaos Corpse, Ending the Origin Continent Genius Battle
Chapter 676 Refining a World-Class Chaos Corpse, Ending the Origin Continent Genius Battle
The final of the Genius Battle lasted for a full thirty years.
There were too many geniuses participating in the battle, and they fought each other repeatedly in the arena battles, and the resurrection battles and so on were similar to those in the original universe.
It naturally takes more time.
of course.
It was thirty years in the virtual universe, but with time acceleration, it was actually completed in just over a month.
In the end, the one standing at the highest point of the arena was a young man from the desolate edge of the Origin Continent, named Shi Tian.
He was tall and strong, with bronze skin. His fighting style was wild and domineering. He crushed all his opponents with 99,000 times the genetic divine power, and his understanding of the laws had reached the level of an eternal true god.
"good."
Qin Ming looked at the boy on the stage and nodded slightly.
Shi Tian's intuition in battle is extremely sharp. Every move he makes seems to anticipate all of his opponent's escape routes. His understanding of laws and his divine body are only slightly inferior to his younger self.
"This boy is indeed exceptionally talented. He was born into a wild tribe, and his parents died in the jaws of a strange beast when he was young. He and his tribe struggled to survive in the wilderness."
He had no lineage of martial arts training; all his combat skills were self-taught, honed through life-or-death battles. He only began systematic training after joining the virtual universe.
The Lord of Chaos sighed in admiration; such talent was something he could only dream of.
His talent in both divine power and understanding of laws is astonishing; calling him a potential god-king is entirely justified.
"Indeed, it's incredible!"
Qianwu also sighed. In terms of pure understanding of the laws, he might be about the same as the young man in front of him, but the difference in cultivation resources, time and so on between the two was like heaven and earth.
Even with Qin Ming's imperial decree, which allows him to directly utilize the life essence power of the God-King level, his true understanding of the laws is only at the Eternal True God level, still somewhat lacking compared to the Chaos Ruler.
"Shi Tian is good, and the other geniuses are also excellent."
Qin Yu paused, his gaze sweeping over the geniuses who had also made it to the finals below the arena.
"The top ten will all be taken to the Underworld and directly incorporated into the reserve force of the Reincarnation Legion. Shi Tian..." Qin Ming pondered for a moment, "Does anyone here intend to take him as a disciple?"
Qin Ming glanced down at the boy. This boy had exceptional talent and a good chance of becoming a God King, but the possibility of him becoming a God Emperor was extremely slim. He was dispensable to Qin Ming.
He also didn't have much desire to take on apprentices.
This is normal.
Over the endless ages of the Origin Continent, only a few thousand people have been able to become God-Kings.
The appearance of a god-king is already extremely exaggerated.
The crowd below exchanged bewildered glances. Before the Genius Battle began, Qin Ming had said that this time it needed to be taken seriously, and it would be best to have some God Kings take on disciples.
He even intended to take on apprentices himself.
It seems that I no longer have that idea.
"If you have no ideas, then I won't be polite. This kid has good talent and his temperament suits my taste. I also happen to be short of a disciple."
"Zongfu God King said with a smile."
"Haha, you're so smart! I'll choose the second-place kid then."
The Fire Ancestor also laughed.
"I'll join in the fun too!"
Dozens of powerful God-Kings spoke in succession, saying that the quality of the geniuses selected in this year's Genius Battle was indeed extremely high, with a gene multiplier of over 90,000.
The top ten are absolutely phenomenal geniuses!
Furthermore, with Qin Ming personally selecting them, everyone naturally rushed to take on the role, while the group from the Origin Continent showed no interest in accepting disciples.
Their own strength and talent were relatively weak. Although they possessed considerable strength due to the underworld's decree, their ability to teach disciples was insufficient. They dared not be distracted and were all focused on improving their own strength as much as possible.
……
News of the conclusion of the Genius Battle spread throughout the entire Origin Continent, and the power of faith from billions of lives surged forth like a tidal wave.
Qin Ming could clearly sense that the burning faith in the hearts of those watching the competition in the virtual universe and cheering for their favorite players was constantly rising.
Thirty-five percent.
Qin Ming closed his eyes and sensed the feedback from the origin of the continent.
We are still some distance from the 50% threshold, but the speed has already far exceeded expectations.
Although he did not take on any apprentices.
However, dozens of God-Kings appeared at the same time to select disciples in the competition, and a large number of Chaos Rulers came forward to recruit geniuses into their ranks.
The entire Origin Continent was thrown into a frenzy of celebration!
……
After the battle of geniuses, the operation of the underworld entered a new phase.
The selection process for the Twelve Legions of Reincarnation has begun in full swing in the Underworld.
Unlike the Genius Battle, which is only for the level of the Lord of the Universe, the selection of the Samsara Legion is open to all beings at the Chaos Realm and God King level. In addition to strength, talent, will, and the degree of recognition of the order of the Underworld are also included in the assessment.
As for those with lower strength, they were all reserves.
To enter other source worlds, one doesn't even have the strength of the Chaos Realm, so there's not much point in going.
Crossing such a long distance requires an astonishing amount of resources, and Qin Ming wouldn't waste a spot so easily.
The underworld is still too weak.
Even including those who were subdued in the Origin Continent and those who voluntarily surrendered, the number of true God-King level experts is only a little over three hundred.
There are more levels in the Chaos Realm, but there are only tens of thousands of people in that realm.
Too little!
There's nothing we can do about it. All the God-Kings in the entire Origin Continent combined only amount to a little over a thousand. Excluding those with heinous sins, there are only so many suitable to join the Underworld.
With this level of strength, conquering a weaker source world shouldn't be a problem.
But how do you conquer billions of worlds?
That's far from the truth.
Although the myriad worlds were created by lords, they have a much higher starting point than the Origin Continent because they possess innate primordial bloodlines, and are often home to a large number of creatures.
There are many places like the Netherworld that possess treasure lands, even among god-emperors.
If the four late-stage God Emperors—the Time-Space Demon, the Lord of Ten Thousand Laws, the Palace Master of the Two Realms, and the Yanfeng Ancestor who is currently serving his sentence—did not intervene, it would be impossible.
Even though Qin Ming himself was a bit lacking in strength!
With his ability to control the underworld, he can command the power of the underworld and unleash astonishing strength in a short period of time, but this explosive increase also has its limits.
And it cannot last.
Therefore, the main force for this campaign is actually the Netherworld War Beast Legion.
After sweeping through the Dream Realm and completing the advancement of the Myriad Soul Banner, the number of Netherworld War Beasts at the God Emperor level alone reached more than eight hundred.
As for those at the ultimate level of God-King, there are even more.
Although they have low intelligence and cannot possess great strength after reincarnation, they are just right for conquering billions of worlds.
This world, free from external resistance, is the perfect stage for the Netherworld War Beast Legion.
By conquering it, the Underworld can absorb local powerful beings, making it even stronger.
Is it entirely reliant on cultivating powerful individuals from the Origin Continent?
Even over countless epochs, not many powerful individuals will emerge!
How could Qin Ming possibly waste so much time?
Not everyone is a genius like Luo Feng!
There's only one Luo Feng on the Origin Continent!
……
While the selection process for the Reincarnation Legion was in full swing, the Pioneer Division had already set off ahead of time.
The true form of the Time-Space Demon departed from the Dark World, leading the Lord of Ten Thousand Laws and the Lords of the Two Realms through a boundary-breaking teleportation method, heading towards the Netherworld.
The infinite primordial space is extremely distant.
Without the teleportation channels established by predecessors like Yuan, it would take a very long time to enter another source world.
It needs to be calculated in years, or even eras.
With the Time-Space Old Demon and others entering first and having accurate intelligence, the subsequent expansion could truly begin. Of course, his soul projection was already racing through the Infinite Chaos Space.
It should take about a thousand years to reach that destination.
This is also why Qin Ming wanted to cultivate the path of time and space. Even with the method of soul projection, if he didn't master the path of time and space, his speed would be too slow no matter how fast he was.
Qin Ming was quite at ease with the Time-Space Demon and his group.
As a late-stage God Emperor who is also skilled in the Dao of Time and Space, he can travel much faster than Qin Ming's soul projection. His current strength is still too weak!
He possesses the strength of a second-level God King, yet his soul's fundamental Dao is only at the first level.
If it weren't for the Myriad Souls Banner, I wouldn't have been qualified to enter the Infinite Chaos Space at all.
……
After arranging everything, Qin Ming began his seclusion.
Beneath the World Tree, his true form sat cross-legged, while his four avatars busied themselves with their own tasks.
The mountain giant's avatar continued cultivating the "Creation World Body," while simultaneously comprehending the fundamental principles of life, matter, and the world. His understanding of the fundamental principle of matter was nearing the critical point of the second level of the God-King realm, only one step away.
The Wangchuan clone primarily focuses on the fundamental principles of the soul, cause and effect, and death.
After countless souls have fallen and undergone rounds of judgment, they finally step onto the Bridge of Helplessness. When they cross the River of Oblivion, their original souls fall into the river.
Wangchuan's clone also constantly uses the Great Dream of Three Thousand Techniques, traveling through the Three Thousand Primordial Universes and the Origin Continent, comprehending various laws and tempering its will.
The World Tree is much more comprehensive; with the Primordial Heart, it is highly proficient in every law.
After the Myriad Souls Banner transformed, the Soul Grinding Wheel continuously decomposed and sorted out the secret patterns of those innate primordial beings, transmitting them into his sea of consciousness.
The secret runes concerning the fusion of space and time provided him with great inspiration.
"I see……"
Qin Ming closed his eyes and pondered, his consciousness immersed in the countless secret patterns.
The understanding of the fundamental laws by naturally born beings is completely different from that of cultivators.
They do not distinguish between the concepts of the origin of laws; in their eyes, the origin laws are inherently integrated and form an inseparable whole.
Their talents and abilities often involve multiple aspects simultaneously.
"The Great Dao of Time and Space is indeed profound. With my Hunyuan body and the legacy of 'Time and Space Traveler' left by the Star Lord, I can travel through the river of time and space."
The speed of cultivation is too fast.
Qin Ming muttered to himself, the river of time and space displayed by the Star Lord appearing in his mind.
That vast and boundless river flows from the infinitely distant past and surges toward the infinitely distant future. The passage of time and the transformation of space are integrated into this river, inseparable.
A figure stepped onto the river of time and space, walking on its surface.
Just for a moment.
The figure then disappeared, digesting and absorbing what it had seen and heard, before stepping back into the area. After repeated testing, it saw many things.
I saw the timeline of the future, and I saw all the things of the past.
This also confirmed one thing for him.
That is to say, the Myriad Soul Banner is indeed as he thought, just like the Lord, it is a unified entity of endless timelines, and even in future timelines, the existence of the Myriad Soul Banner cannot be observed.
With the existence of the Myriad Souls Banner, he could now travel through the river of time and space with a clear path!
With the annihilation of spacetime, even "himself" in the future timeline cannot pose a significant threat to him, making him naturally suited to the path of spacetime!
After entering the River of Time several times, Qin Ming had even cultivated past and future clones!
The World Tree's past and future incarnations!
How enormous is the World Tree?
With two more clones, it would be absolutely invincible!
Among the nine supreme rules of the Origin Continent, the Origin of Time, the Origin of Space, the Origin of Life, and the Origin of Boundless all have clone techniques, each with its own differences.
Like the avatars of the Great Dao of the Origin of Life and the Great Dao of the Boundless Origin, they are essentially divisions, but they can be described as separate entities!
Just like the mountain giant's clone, because he has mastered the Great Dao of the Origin of Life, he could have created thousands upon thousands of clones. However, Qin Ming was unwilling to do so and instead compressed his body to the extreme!
Because the avatars of the Great Dao of the Origin of Life are essentially the dispersal of the power of the original body.
The more it gives away, the weaker it becomes.
The same applies to the boundless path; though it is said to be boundless, it is actually still one.
However, the manifestations of time, space, and roads are different!
In Qin Ming's view, this was the true clone.
For example, the clone technique of the Time lineage can create three clones, including the original body: the past, the present, and the future.
Each clone is a complete physical body and soul, possessing peak strength.
Their strength increased threefold!
Moreover, these three versions of themselves can exist in different timelines.
The strength they displayed was extremely powerful.
The same applies to spatial paths; the number of clones that can be cultivated is limited, but powerful clones can maintain a complete physical body and soul.
Because Qin Ming directly followed the path of time and space, he only had three clones.
But this is already terrifying.
Once he becomes more proficient in understanding the Great Dao of Time and Space, he can apply it to the River of Oblivion, the World Tree, and his human self, causing his strength to increase dramatically in an instant!
While his three clones were all cultivating, his human body was traveling in the Origin Continent.
Our first stop is another top-tier treasure land in the Origin Continent, the 'Heavenly Pillar Realm'!
……
After the underworld occupied the Origin Continent, it opened up the entrances to many treasure lands.
blockade?
That's so petty!
The resources of the Origin Continent are incredibly abundant. In addition to the two core treasure lands, Dream Realm and Heavenly Pillar Realm, there are dozens of other treasure lands.
Those qualified to enter this treasure land must at least possess the strength of a Chaos Overlord!
In fact, apart from a very few exceptions, going to the Chaos Ruler would only lead to certain death.
Only a god-king could possibly benefit from it.
How many God-Kings are there on the Origin Continent?
Even if we let them in, how much benefit will they gain?
The two ancient kingdoms were too selfish in the past, which caused everyone to resent them. Qin Ming would never do that. He would rather there be more powerful people on the Origin Continent.
"Tianzhu" (Heavenly Pillar).
When Qin Ming arrived at the entrance to the Heavenly Pillar Realm, he noticed a majestic Heavenly Pillar.
The Heavenly Pillar is so tall that its end cannot be seen.
The most famous features of the Heavenly Pillar Realm are the thirty-six Heavenly Pillars, located at the thirty-six entrances. They support the entire Heavenly Pillar Realm, and each pillar represents an opportunity.
call--
Thirty-five clones emerged from Qin Ming's body, heading towards different entrances.
Soon, one of Qin Ming's clones saw more than a dozen figures, one of which was a familiar, rugged figure.
Giant axe!
Giant Axe's talent and strength are quite good.
After receiving the decree from the Underworld, he also obtained the top inheritance from the Origin Continent, and his own understanding of the laws also entered the Chaos Realm.
He was observing at that moment.
"Greetings, Emperor Fengdu!"
"Greetings, Emperor Fengdu!"
When the dozen or so God-Kings who were meditating saw Qin Ming appear, they all respectfully bowed and stepped aside.
"Don't worry about me, figure it out yourselves."
Qin Ming waved his hand.
Among the many treasure lands, the Heavenly Pillar Realm has the most visitors. Unlike the Dream Realm, it has requirements for mental will and requires constant resistance to mental influences.
This is a treasure trove for enlightenment!
"Qin Ming?"
Upon noticing Qin Ming's arrival, Giant Axe bowed and a smile appeared on his face.
"How's it going? Any success?"
Qin Ming walked up with a smile.
"Of course! Seeing this pillar of heaven, I realized how many mistakes I had made in the way of the axe in the past. This is the true way of the axe!"
The giant axe looked up at the Heavenly Pillar and sighed.
The path he walks is the Great Way of Destruction and Spatial Fusion, or rather, the 'Great Way of the Axe' that belongs only to him!
The power of the two fundamental principles is integrated into the axe!
His life ended with the axe, reaching its zenith with the axe.
He may be average in other areas, but his talent in axe fighting is astonishing.
Following the gaze of the giant axe, Qin Ming carefully examined this majestic pillar of heaven.
This pillar of heaven is covered with countless secret patterns.
"boom!"
The spreading secret patterns, in Qin Ming's observation, transformed into a gigantic axe that seemed to be endless!
This axe was so enormous that Qin Ming could only see a part of it. He felt that the axe had shattered all rules and split everything in its path, and that even the Six Paths of Reincarnation would be split in two!
"The creation of the world?"
Qin Ming was also deeply shocked.
He also had some understanding of the axe way, after all, his mountain giant clone used an axe, and in the primordial universe, he had even followed the giant axe to learn how to use an axe for a period of time.
The artistic conception of this axe has far surpassed that of a complete Great Dao!
This already has some of the charm of the Hunyuan level of Dao. Compared with the core scale in Luo Feng's Star Tower, although it is a bit rougher, the viewing conditions are much lower.
With the blessing of the Netherworld's origin, the giant axe's pure will is comparable to that of a God-King at the ultimate level, and it can be easily observed.
Qin Ming could immediately tell that there were 3,600 intertwined secret patterns on the stone pillar.
"I can also leave a clone here to observe."
Qin Ming's clone simply sat cross-legged on the ground and began to comprehend the secrets together with the giant axe.
This scene, with its artistic conception far surpassing the complete Great Dao, and its relatively simple secret runes, is far more difficult to comprehend than the complete Great Dao!
Generally, one needs to be at the second level of the God-King realm to be qualified to comprehend it.
The giant axe was completely focused on the axe way, and with the support of the power of the underworld's origin, he was able to observe and even feel that he had gained a great deal.
Around the other Heavenly Pillars, Qin Ming also encountered many powerful figures from the Underworld.
Before one of the celestial pillars, which was decorated with a pattern of surging rivers, the Primordial Ancestor sat cross-legged, comprehending the great Dao within.
Luo Feng left behind a series of clones here.
On these thirty-six celestial pillars, some are carved with sharp, gleaming blades, some with strange cubes, and some with rain falling from the sky. The artistic conception of each scene transcends the Great Dao.
After carefully examining them, Qin Ming was able to determine that these thirty-six celestial pillars were mainly related to the nine fundamental Daos of the Origin Continent.
Each avenue has four pillars, and each pillar represents a different direction.
After breaking through to the God Emperor level, there is no longer any clear guidance from the Great Dao, and one needs to grope in the dark. These thirty-six Heavenly Pillars are like a lamp in the darkness, guiding the way.
Not everyone is as lucky as Luo Feng to possess the Star Tower.
But now, anyone at the God-King level can come and comprehend the Thirty-Six Heavenly Pillars!
"Senior Yuan has a particular fondness for the Origin Continent; other Origin Worlds don't have such a top-tier treasure land."
Standing before the towering pillars, Qin Ming was filled with awe.
Among the many source worlds, not every one has a treasure land, and many don't even have teleportation arrays, making it impossible to access scenes outside the source world.
However, on the Origin Continent, there is a treasure trove called the Infinite Space, where one can obtain top-tier inheritances.
There is a precious place like Dreamland where one can hone one's mind and will.
There are even guiding lights like the Heavenly Pillar Realm in the darkness.
It also has a teleportation array that can directly reach the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, making it much luckier than other source worlds.
After briefly greeting Luo Feng and Yuan Zu, Qin Ming continued flying deeper into the Heavenly Pillar Realm. When he appeared, a group of Netherworld War Beasts that had been exploring the Heavenly Pillar Realm began to gather!
There is no danger in the outer perimeter of Tianzhu Realm.
But as you go deeper, you will begin to see massive bone mountains and dangerous places.
"Truly amazing!"
Under the protection of numerous Netherworld war beasts, Qin Ming continued to delve deeper into the realm, comprehending everything within it.
Compared to the mysterious and unpredictable Dream Realm, the interior of the Heavenly Pillar Realm clearly reveals the corpse of an extremely large life form!
Those naturally born chaotic life forms were born from its corpse.
No matter how many Netherworld War Beasts are killed.
After a period of time, new innate primordial life will be conceived again from the corpse.
When Qin Ming reached the deepest part of the Heavenly Pillar Realm, he stopped and looked at the winding, flowing river of filthy blood in front of him!
This river of filthy blood would kill anyone who came into contact with it, even a second-level God King, and would also cause their external avatars to die from the contamination of their souls.
"It's truly amazing how life exists; there's still vegetation on both sides of this river."
Looking at the lush vegetation along the Bloodstained River, Qin Ming couldn't help but marvel at how abundant it was, even growing within the Bone Mountain.
In the end, Qin Ming's gaze fell upon the River of Filth and Blood.
This river was formed by the blood pollution of the world's largest turbid source of life.
He wanted to do some tests.
For example, is it possible to refine this blood?
Use it as nourishment for the growth of the Myriad Souls Banner!
He had tried to move those bone mountains, but all of them were connected to the earth, and with his current strength, the Myriad Soul Banner was simply no match for them.
But the Bloodstained River is different.
This is a flowing river of blood.
"The gates of hell are open!"
