8: Chapter 8 Arena of Ten Thousand Realms

"Master, the scan is complete."

Yu Mo's voice suddenly came, interrupting Chen Mo's previous thoughts.

Chen Mo nodded, and lying on the bed, he slowly closed his eyes at that moment.

When he opened his eyes again, everything around him had already changed.

"You have entered the Virtual Universe."

"Please note that the Virtual Universe can perfectly replicate everything you possess, including but not limited to, your divine domain, divine arts, and dependents. However, a small amount of divine power is required to maintain your login. Please keep an eye on your divine power reserves at all times to prevent sudden disconnection."

Hearing the prompt in his ears, Chen Mo was not surprised in the slightest.

The Virtual Universe is not merely a virtual reality technology; in fact, it is a legacy left to the Federation by a certain Supreme Being.

After a god dies, their divine kingdom does not immediately collapse.

Without external intervention, it will slowly sink into the Void Realm.

However, some beings with high enough status will deliberately modify their divine kingdoms before they die.

For example, the exclusive divine kingdom of Lanshan First God Academy is a legacy left to the academy by its first dean.

The Virtual Universe before him is similar, but its status and function are incomparable to the former.

It influences countless practitioners in the Federation and is also the Federation's largest talent selection and training center.

"Yu Mo." Chen Mo glanced at the room, which was less than ten square meters, and frowned slightly. "Why is the initial area of the room so small? Isn't it supposed to be one hundred square meters?"

"It's not. It has always been ten square meters." Yu Mo flew to Chen Mo's shoulder and blinked her large, light blue eyes in confusion.

"Is that so?" Chen Mo nodded hesitantly, muttering to himself inwardly.

He remembered it being one hundred meters. Could it be that the initial room area was increased after the public beta?

Shaking his head, Chen Mo stopped thinking about this issue that was irrelevant to him for the time being. He looked at Yu Mo on his shoulder and ordered, "Take me to the Myriad Domain Arena!"

"Alright, Master."

Ten minutes later, inside an arena that stretched as far as the eye could see, two small sprites, similar in shape but completely different in appearance, were confronting each other, with sparks faintly flashing in their eyes.

"My master will definitely win!" Yu Mo said firmly.

"Tch, who are you kidding? I just checked. Your master hasn't fought a single battle, while my master only needs one more match to complete his ranking."

"So what if he's ranking? In a nine-match ranking series, your master has already lost seven. Even if he completes the ranking, he'll just be a Bronze."

"That's still better than your newbie master."

"You... you are not allowed to insult my master."

Yu Mo was so angry that she clenched her small pink fists, but it was useless; auxiliary sprites have no combat power, even in the Virtual Universe.

Meanwhile, both sides in the arena had completed their preparations.

"Friend, you just promoted, right? I see your battle record is blank."

"Yes."

Chen Mo nodded indifferently; there was nothing to hide about this.

"To dare to fight in the Unlimited Arena right after promoting—just for that courage, I have to give you a thumbs up."

The man seemed to enjoy this feeling of superiority, even though he was a newbie himself.

As for the Unlimited Arena he mentioned, it is actually one of the two combat modes in the Myriad Domain Arena.

The Unlimited Arena means that both sides can use any means, including personally entering the battle.

The Restricted Arena is much simpler; both sides can only rely on their dependents to fight.

"My dependents have not yet formed complete combat power, so the Restricted Arena doesn't suit me."

Chen Mo looked up, watching this clueless guy with interest.

"This... how embarrassing." The man rubbed his hands together, but his eyes shone with excitement.

Damn, after being crushed so many times in the ranking matches, he finally caught a soft target.

"Let's start!"

Chen Mo seemed more anxious than his opponent, or perhaps he somewhat looked down on the opponent in front of him.

"Then I won't be polite."

The man looked at Chen Mo with a 'sneer' and unhesitatingly manifested his gate of the divine domain.

In an instant, Inferior Demons with curved horns and steel forks in their hands appeared in the arena and then charged straight towards Chen Mo, who was directly opposite.

The man himself stood where he was, with the light of divine power faintly shining in his hands.

"Tier 0 Divine Art, Water Dragon Technique!"

Before his voice had even faded, a huge water dragon over ten meters long appeared in the air.

Tier 0 Divine Art, the only kind of divine art that can be used without laws, and also the most widely available and easiest to obtain divine art.

"Tier 0 Divine Art? What a coincidence, I just learned a few too."

Chen Mo watched the squad of Inferior Demons charging straight at him with a smile, while divine power blossomed in his own hands.

In the Virtual Universe, neither replicating dependents for battle nor casting divine arts will have any impact on one's real body or divine domain.

For them, this is the best training ground for divine arts, and there are even free 'live targets' in the arena for practice.

Chen Mo, who wished he could spend one portion of divine power as two, was clearly here for this benefit. As for the source of the divine arts in his hands...

Let's just say, as long as he wanted, he could choose from the thousands of Tier 0 Divine Arts in the Chen family's inventory; this stuff was truly worthless.

"Tier 0 Divine Art, Death Knight."

"Tier 0 Divine Art, Heart Devourer Curse."

Before the water dragon had fully formed, Chen Mo had actually cast two Tier 0 Divine Arts in succession.

This made the guy who was still maintaining the Water Dragon Technique almost pop his eyes out.

It was not only because of Chen Mo's heaven-defying speed in casting divine arts, but also because of the effect of the Heart Devourer Curse.

At this moment, he only felt a sharp pain coming from his heart and soul, and his whole body suddenly knelt on the ground.

"No... this is impossible."

The man looked at the water dragon that had dissipated directly due to the interruption of divine power, his eyes full of bloodshot veins caused by intense pain.

He also knew the Heart Devourer Curse, but he hadn't studied it carefully.

The reason was very simple: the Heart Devourer Curse is a Death-type Tier 0 Divine Art, easy to learn but difficult to master.

As everyone knows, divine arts are not only amplifiers of divine power and spirit but also shortcuts to studying laws.

He painstakingly practiced the Water Dragon Technique just to be able to achieve something in the Law of Water.

And as Death is one of the rare high-ranking laws, he, who had just promoted less than a month ago, was not yet so ambitious.

But Chen Mo's appearance shattered his original worldview.

He could guarantee that this casting speed and the power that far exceeded normal levels must be the effect of laws.

Thinking of this, he endured the sharp pain and looked up, wanting to look at Chen Mo, but he saw an even more horrifying scene.

In the arena, a headless knight, five meters tall including the horse, was one-sidedly slaughtering his Inferior Demon dependents.

Nearly a hundred Inferior Demons were slaughtered by the opponent in just a few seconds. No... in the time it took him to think, they had already been finished off.

"I..."

Before the words "I surrender" could be spoken, a jet-black sword light had already arrived in front of him.

With a 'pop', the barrier in front of him, constructed from 50 points of divine power, was covered in cracks but did not shatter.

According to the rules of the Myriad Domain Arena, the realm of every participant will be maintained at Demigod Rank 1, and at most 100 points of divine power can be used in one battle.

As for why there is such a rule, it is actually because the effect of divine power is too heaven-defying.

If there were no restrictions and the strength was not much different, even if they fought until the end of time, they wouldn't be able to determine a winner.
