My heart immediately settled down.
The black trench coat that Lin Hao's Force Armor had transformed into fluttered gently in the breeze.
He didn't even bother to glance at his pursuers; a mere second-level domain was nothing to him.
He lowered his gaze to the steel jungle below, his left arm around the beautiful woman, and snapped his fingers with his right hand—
The clouds constructed solely by the fundamental laws are sufficient with raindrops that naturally fall, each containing a trace of the fundamental power.
"Why did it rain suddenly?"
The people fighting outdoors looked at the sudden appearance of fine raindrops and felt strange.
"This rain... can corrode Force suits!"
A shrill roar came from below, and a ninth-level Stellar Warrior watched in horror as his arm turned to bone in the rain.
Countless contestants rushed frantically towards the building shelter.
"Something's not right! How can it be raining in the room?!"
But soon, as many contestants perished in the city, those who had taken refuge in building shelters were horrified to discover that rain curtains could be generated out of thin air even in enclosed spaces.
Before they could think any further, they lost consciousness.
The score on Lin Hao's arm guard began to jump wildly.
"Huh? There are experts!"
Lin Hao thought the cleanup would be completed quickly, but he didn't expect that there were still people resisting inside one of the buildings.
That was a contestant from the Sevenfold Fire Domain who should have dominated the preliminaries with overwhelming momentum.
Even inside the building, the ever-present, seemingly random raindrops forced the domain to tightly protect its surroundings.
This was merely an area-of-effect damage effect that Lin Hao hadn't intentionally controlled; no wonder he was able to withstand it.
Just as Lin Hao was preparing to concentrate his source power to finish him off.
"Junior Uncle, stop! They're on our side!"
A male voice filled with grief and indignation came from the tall building ahead, "I am Huo Yan. We met before the competition. I was right behind you, not far away!"
Huo Yan seemed to be reaching his limit, and fearing that Lin Hao might not hear him, he hurriedly revealed his identity.
"Forehead……"
Lin Hao quickly withdrew his supernatural powers. "Go to the wilderness area. Don't go to any cities. I'll clear the area."
The voice was gentle and soft, yet it made Huo Yan shiver all over in the sweltering heat, and his heart turned cold.
A disheveled figure rushed out of one of the windows and hovered in mid-air.
"Thank you for showing mercy, Junior Uncle... I'll be going now."
Huo Yan glanced enviously at the beautiful woman beside his junior uncle out of the corner of his eye, not daring to look at her any longer. He bowed and flew straight out of the city.
I didn't dare look back the whole way, feeling terrified.
There were so many people in the entire city just now, and quite a few skilled fighters even tried to hide near him.
Unfortunately, he could only barely protect himself from his junior uncle's nonchalant barrage of attacks.
This is because Junior Uncle dealt with at least hundreds of millions of contestants in one go. Otherwise, like the result a month ago, he wouldn't even know what happened before he was eliminated!
Lin Hao held Janet as they flew slowly around the city. Ten minutes later, looking at the points on his arm guard, he nodded in satisfaction.
Contestant: Lin Hao (Heilongshan Empire)
Points: 95271314
Ranking: 1
"I don't know if there are any other lucky ones besides Huo Yan who can escape, but it doesn't matter. The next nearest city is more than 300 kilometers to the northwest."
Lin Hao looked at the map. "Janet, hold me tight!"
Let's test if the random teleportation stone can carry people.
As a burst of spatial primal power shone, Janet was still beside him; the plan had succeeded!
What's absurd is that the landing point of the random teleportation stone is not random at all; it happens to be right on the edge of the city he wants to go to!
This is the result of two and a half years of practice with "Time and Space Notes" combined with a thorough understanding of the essence of "spatial resonance" from the perspective of a "space management master"!
He doesn't need to truly master teleportation; as long as he knows the coordinate nodes in space, he can use random teleportation stones to appear anywhere within range!
……
In the Sixth World Zone, all participants can fly to a height of about nine thousand meters above the ground. Beyond that, there is an invisible barrier that prevents them from flying.
Above the membrane, countless observation ships shuttled through the clouds.
In the lavish and spacious hall of one of the spaceships, thousands of people were seated, including the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom and his immortal kings and nobles.
Qinia was among them.
Although the 'Universe Humanity - Peak Genius Battle' is a grand event for all humanity in the universe, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom had never paid attention to the preliminary rounds before.
This time was different; he was determined to watch the whole thing.
Although the subordinate immortals and other disciples were a little jealous, they couldn't say anything. After all, Lin Hao was the king's youngest disciple, and they could understand that the youngest was usually the most favored.
Besides, they were also curious about what level this junior disciple, who was recognized by the fundamental laws and could teleport, could achieve.
But they soon discovered how tedious Lin Hao's battles were...
Silence reigns in the hall today.
No one expected Lin Hao to have such a profound understanding of the fundamental laws.
The immortals present dared to say that even if they were to slaughter so many realm lords or even domain lords, they wouldn't be as relaxed as Lin Hao.
The entire competition in the Sixth World Zone was extremely boring.
He arrived, and it started to rain.
It's over, I've teleported.
It even seemed like he was out for a spring outing with a female companion.
Meanwhile, Qinia was secretly filled with resentment—why wasn't she a stellar-level being? Janet was just too lucky; out of 100 world zones, Lin Hao was still placed in one of them.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little strange.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, this is a great joy!"
"I never expected my junior brother to be so monstrous..."
When the Azure Thunder Army Lord broke the silence, the entire vast hall suddenly erupted in excitement.
"Ha ha……"
As if seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for the heavy debt he carried, the shaman let out a hearty laugh that echoed throughout the hall.
"It's a bit of a waste of everyone's time! This brat's match is completely unwatchable!"
Chapter 67 One person clears the field, ending the preliminary rounds ahead of schedule!
Although the process was a bit boring, many citizens of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom were still incredibly proud and excited.
This overwhelming dominance made even ordinary people nervous for the other contestants, while also eagerly anticipating the final!
Eight hours later, the remaining population in the Sixth World Zone plummeted from 82 billion to 17 billion.
Of that, nearly 50 billion was cleared out by Lin Hao alone.
The remaining billion or so is the result of the contestants' fierce competition.
At this time, apart from the newest visitors who came to watch, everyone else, including the Qianwu Kingdom Lord and Qinia who were most interested in Lin Hao, had already gone to watch the other contestants' matches.
……
"Huh? Another expert!"
Lin Hao laughed, his eyes filled with excitement, as he looked at a stubborn figure bathed in an earthy yellow light through the rain.
"How can it be?!"
This stubborn figure is a genius who has crossed the threshold of the fundamental law of earth—Iron Wall!
On the very first day of the preliminary rounds, he was leisurely chasing after half of the contestants from the south of the city, causing chaos and confusion. Those who were a little slower became his victims.
Unexpectedly, rain began to fall from the sky in the blink of an eye.
He sensed something was wrong and immediately activated his domain defense, witnessing firsthand how all the contestants he had chased in the distance had died instantly!
That's when he finally saw the person in question!
A figure wearing a black trench coat, with a nonchalant expression on his face, and holding a woman's hand beside him, slowly flew towards him from mid-air.
Iron Wall rubbed his eyes, doubting his own vision. "This is the competition venue? Who are you?!"
"Hmm...it seems he's not my junior apprentice. Well then, I'm sorry!"
As Tie Bi asked that question, his body shone brightly, showing no signs of being affected by the rain. He stomped his right foot heavily on the ground and charged straight at Lin Hao with his sword.
Lin Hao held Janet's hand tightly without letting go, and countless water droplets in mid-air instantly condensed into a sharp ice spike, shooting rapidly toward the iron wall.
“That doesn’t work for me!”
Iron Wall roared, his body surging with earthy yellow energy, shattering the ice spikes.
Unfortunately, before he could take any further action...
The ice cones, shattered into countless tiny fragments, expanded rapidly, and before long, Tie Bi was frozen into an ice sculpture.
"High defense is troublesome..."
Lin Hao watched as cracks gradually appeared on the ice sculpture from the inside out and complained.
Click!
"Haha, you can't kill me!"
