119: Top scorer reward

Facing the three thousand-foot space blades that tore through the Void Realm and annihilated all things, Lin Yuan felt no fear in his eyes; instead, a frenzied Battle Intent to devour everything ignited within him!

"Soul! Devouring! Seal!"

The muscles in his right arm bulged, and he thrust out his palm, where a devouring black hole rotating to its limit was unleashed! It was no longer defense, but the most violent offense!

"Boom-crack—!!!"

The black hole collided violently with the space cracks! A sharp, shattering sound erupted, sharp enough to pierce the Divine Soul! The scene imagined—where the black hole would be torn apart by the power of space—did not occur! On the contrary, the moment those space cracks, reputed to cut through anything, touched the edge of the black hole, they were like fragile glass hitting a millstone! They were torn apart, stripped away, and devoured bit by bit, irresistibly, by that profound devouring power!

"What?!" The arrogance on Xuan Wuming's face froze instantly, replaced by incredulous horror! "This... this is impossible! Space is the foundation of the Myriad Laws! How can it be devoured?!" He reacted extremely quickly, forming hand seals with lightning speed, "Void Evasion!"

With a flash of silver light, his figure blurred instantly and appeared in a safe area a thousand feet away!

However, before his figure could fully solidify—

"You... are too slow."

A cold voice, like a wind from the Nine Heavens, sounded right against the back of his neck!

Every hair on Xuan Wuming's body stood on end! He spun around violently!

What met his eyes was Lin Yuan's calm, emotionless gaze, and... a pitch-black palm already pressed against his back, radiating an aura that ended everything!

"No—!"

The desperate roar had just left his throat!

"Hum—!"

Soul Devouring Seal: Full power eruption!

The terrifying devouring power instantly penetrated his body!

Xuan Wuming's sturdy body, tempered by Space Law, was like a paper doll thrown into strong acid. He didn't even last a ten-thousandth of a second before, under the extreme, greedy tearing of the black hole, he silently... turned into silver light dust dancing in the sky! Completely annihilated!

[Combat Ended: Time taken 3.5 seconds!]

The spatial fluctuations subsided. Lin Yuan's figure re-condensed. Without the slightest pause, his fingertips swept across the light screen, directly locking onto the next target—the second place on the Myriad Laws list, the Seventh Princess of the Great Yu Dynasty, Yu Hongling!

"Challenge! Confirmed!"

The scene instantly switched to a boiling purgatory!

Beneath his feet was a ten-thousand-foot sea of magma, roaring and churning, hot enough to distort space! The air sizzled and popped from the heat! Yu Hongling, in a fiery red dress, stood barefoot on a crimson-gold lotus flower condensed purely from fire-type Law! Nine flame dragons with terrifying scales, lifelike and radiating an aura that incinerated all things, circled her like loyal guards, twisting and roaring!

"To be able to defeat that trash Xuan Wuming..." Yu Hongling's vermilion lips parted. Every word she uttered turned into a crimson rune burning with the Dao fire, suspended in the air, her pressure rising step by step! "You... are worthy of this Princess using the Heaven-Burning Secret Technique!"

"Nine Turns Heaven-Burning: World Annihilation!"

"Roar—!!!"

The nine ten-thousand-foot fire dragons let out a heaven-shaking roar! They instantly merged into one! Transforming into a world-annihilating flame dragon of unknown length, its scales and claws blotting out the sky, its body flowing with destructive flames like molten lava! As the flame dragon appeared, a huge void was instantly evaporated in the boundless sea of magma below! The temperature of the entire virtual world soared to the limit where even divine iron would melt! The destructive energy of 4.8 million feathers locked onto Lin Yuan and crashed down! It was going to turn everything into ash!

Facing this blow that could burn the heavens and boil the seas, Lin Yuan's face revealed a hint of... playful ease!

"Now this is interesting!"

He rapidly formed hand seals in front of his chest! The Devouring Origin within his body erupted like a volcano!

"Soul Devouring Seal: Heaven Swallowing!"

This time, there was no holding back!

Boom!

A super black hole, over a hundred feet in diameter, with edges that distorted light and a center as deep as a singularity in the Universe, suddenly appeared above his head! The black hole rotated, emitting an absolute gravitational pull that caused even space to collapse!

"Ang—!" The World-Annihilating Flame Dragon, carrying the will to incinerate all things, slammed fiercely into the black hole!

"Dong—!!!!!"

The entire virtual world trembled violently! It felt as if it would collapse in the next second! The surface of the black hole was instantly covered with dense, terrifying cracks like spiderwebs! It seemed as if it would be burst open by the flame dragon at any moment!

The blood drained from Yu Hongling's beautiful face. A flash of panic crossed her eyes, and she did not hesitate to sacrifice her life-bound Magical Artifact—a Heaven-Burning Mirror, entirely crimson, with lava flowing across its surface and nine golden crows carved on its edges!

"Heaven-Burning World-Annihilating Light!" she shouted sharply. The mirror erupted with a crimson beam of light, condensed to the limit, piercing through the Void Realm! It shot directly at the seemingly crumbling core of the black hole! Attempting to attack from inside and outside to destroy it in one blow!

"A death struggle!" Lin Yuan's cold voice sounded like a thunderclap! His figure ignored spatial distance and instantly appeared in front of Yu Hongling! He was so fast that even the Heaven-Burning Mirror in her hand didn't have time to change direction!

"Give me... swallow!"

His right palm, containing the ultimate devouring power and the will to crush and end everything, slammed fiercely onto the body of the Heaven-Burning Mirror!

"Crack!"

A crisp sound!

The mirror... shattered!

Yu Hongling felt an irresistible suction force coming from it. Along with the broken mirror fragments, she was mercilessly and completely swallowed by the suddenly expanding black hole... Not even a ripple was left!

[Combat Ended: Time taken 5.2 seconds!]

Space shifted again, and Lin Yuan's gaze turned towards the final throne—the top of the list, Star Sanctuary, Zhou Xingchen! This peerless Prodigy, born in a Holy Land, with a natural Star Body, who had comprehended the Star Origin while in the Soul Transformation Realm, had dominated the top of the list for three years! He was the unreachable Peak in the hearts of countless Prodigies!

Confirm challenge!

Lin Yuan found himself in a vast, boundless, star-studded cosmic Void Realm!

Zhou Xingchen's figure slowly condensed, surrounded by hundreds of millions of stars. Just by standing quietly in the Void Realm, three hundred and sixty slowly rotating star phantoms automatically circled his body! Each star emitted a sharp, peerless Sword Intent that pierced through the galaxy! He seemed to be the Dominator of this Star Domain!

"To be able to become second..." Zhou Xingchen's voice was as cold as ice, without sorrow or joy, "You are worthy of me drawing my sword."

"Zheng—!"

The ancient star sword on his back was drawn only three inches!

In an instant!

The light of hundreds of millions of stars in the entire cosmic sky seemed to be swallowed by that scabbard, suddenly dimming by thirty percent!

A cold, bone-chilling, lethal sense of threat that pierced straight into the Soul Origin made Lin Yuan's skin feel a stinging pain like needle pricks! Every hair stood on end!

"Come!" Lin Yuan took a deep breath, pouring the last and strongest devouring power in his body into the Soul Devouring Seal in his palm without reservation! The black hole's rotation speed reached its limit, and its edges even emitted wisps of destructive purple lightning due to the high-speed friction with space!

"Zhou Tian Starry Sky: Heavenly River Pouring!"

Zhou Xingchen pointed his sword finger lightly!

"Xiu xiu xiu xiu—!!!"

The three hundred and sixty star sword shadows circling his body instantly turned into an overwhelming silver sword rain, like a burst Nine Heavens galaxy! Each sword light contained a terrifying power of 5.28 million feathers! Before the sword rain arrived, the condensed star sword pressure had already caused the Protective Aura on Lin Yuan's body to emit a groan of unbearable stress, shattering inch by inch!

"Swallow!"

Lin Yuan roared, thrusting the hundred-foot-wide devouring black hole violently into the high sky!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

The first wave of dense, rain-like star sword light slammed into the black hole! A continuous, terrifying roar erupted, as if it were about to shatter the Universe! The surface of the black hole vibrated violently, and its volume was visibly ground away and reduced by one-third! The devouring power seemed to have reached its limit!

"Futile." Zhou Xingchen's expression remained unchanged, his sword momentum suddenly changing, "Star Flow Thunder Strike: Nine Luminaries Return to Ruin!"

The remaining star sword light instantly gathered and condensed! Transforming into nine silver giant swords, as vast as a galaxy, whose sword tips commanded the stars to perish! From the nine absolute killing positions—above, below, left, right, front, and back—they came with the ultimate will to seal time and space and annihilate everything, violently twisting and killing! There was nowhere to hide!

"Swallow! Heaven! Devour! Earth!"

At the critical moment of life and death, an unprecedented, frenzied look erupted in Lin Yuan's eyes! He slammed his palms apart to the sides!

"Hum! Hum! Hum!..."

The huge black hole actually split instantly into nine slightly smaller, yet more condensed and profound devouring vortices! Like nine micro black holes, they accurately met the nine world-destroying Star Flow giant swords!

"Boom-rumble—!!!"

Nine loud bangs, as if a cosmic explosion, detonated simultaneously! The devouring vortices and the star giant swords collided fiercely! The terrifying energy turbulence tore countless hideous, long-lasting black cracks into the Void Realm! The tidal wave of destruction swept through everything!

"To be able to take Nine Luminaries Return to Ruin..." In Zhou Xingchen's calm, unruffled eyes, a trace of genuine surprise finally flashed. But his sword technique changed again!

"Then... let this end it."

The remaining power of the nine Star Flow giant swords instantly merged into one! Transforming into a brilliant galaxy that spanned the starry sky, as if splitting the Universe in two! Wherever the galaxy passed, even the violent space cracks were frozen and solidified! Time seemed to stand still! This sword had touched the essence of the Star Origin Law! Its power... completely exceeded the limit of the Myriad Laws Realm!

Facing this ultimate sword, a smile of enlightenment flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes!

He suddenly withdrew his hands!

The nine devouring vortices, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, instantly collapsed and condensed onto his clenched right fist!

Compress! Compress again!

The originally pitch-black, deep Soul Devouring Seal, because of excessive condensation, actually took on a strange and noble... Chaos purple light! The space around his fist silently annihilated and turned into absolute nothingness!

"Break! Destroy! Galaxy!"

Lin Yuan exhaled and shouted, facing the time-freezing star galaxy, he slammed his right fist—which had condensed all his devouring will and power—out violently!

"Boom—————————!!!"

An ultimate collision that could not be described in words!

The moment the two forces made contact, the entire vast virtual starry sky seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, completely frozen!

One ten-thousandth of a second later—

The tidal wave of destruction exploded like a supernova!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

That brilliant, all-freezing star galaxy, under the impact of the Chaos purple light, crumbled, disintegrated, and annihilated inch by inch like shattered glass!

And that streak of Chaos purple light, after shattering the galaxy, did not lose any momentum. Like a spear of world annihilation piercing the Universe, it instantly crossed the endless Void Realm and slammed into Zhou Xingchen's chest!

"Puff—!"

Zhou Xingchen spat out a large mouthful of silver blood sparkling with starlight! He looked down in disbelief at the terrifying hole in his chest, the size of a bowl, with destructive purple light lingering around its edges! He slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Yuan in the distance, who was unscathed and whose aura had become even deeper and more terrifying. The corner of his blood-stained mouth actually curled up into a strange smile... filled with appreciation and Battle Intent.

"Lin Yuan..." His voice echoed in the starry sky, with unprecedented seriousness, "I have remembered you. Next time... a battle in reality."

As the voice fell, his figure dissipated into specks of starlight.

[Combat Ended: Time taken 12.3 seconds!]

[Winner: Lin Yuan!]

[Congratulations! You have reached the top of the Myriad Laws Realm Teenage Prodigy List - Top Rank!]

Returning to his personal space, Lin Yuan breathed out a long breath, feeling the Devouring Origin in his body become more rounded due to the continuous extreme battles. He opened his email, ready to check the generous rewards for reaching the top.

"Master! That was amazing! You are now the top-ranked!" xiao kun's light wings vibrated at high frequency, spinning crazily around Lin Yuan, "New messages received now..."

Before it could finish speaking—

Boom!

The sky of the entire Taichu Virtual Network was forcibly screened by a huge banner made of brilliant golden light that spanned all planes! A magnificent announcement, like the voice of the Heavenly Dao, resounded in every corner:

Immediately after, Lin Yuan's communication interface was like a burst dam, instantly submerged by a tsunami of invitations, congratulatory letters, and challenge letters! The notification sounds merged into a piercing, continuous hum!

"Activate highest-level filtering! Block all non-critical information!" xiao kun reacted with lightning speed, data streams pouring down its eyes like a waterfall! Within a few breaths, the noise disappeared, leaving only a few core invitations radiating different noble auras, sent through special encrypted channels, floating in front of Lin Yuan:

"Mas... Master, these... should we deal with them now?" Even though xiao kun was an intelligent program, its voice trembled, shocked by the weight behind these invitations.

"Shelve them all." Lin Yuan's voice was calm and waveless, his eyes burning as he looked at the virtual panel, "Now... claim my... throne reward!"

He clicked on the [Top Rank Exclusive Reward] icon shining with nine-colored brilliance!
