339: Heroes gather together, the war is about to begin!

The enormous announcement that suddenly appeared above Qianwu Continent not only ignited Black Dragon Mountain Island, which has hundreds of millions of people, but also caused other islands under Qianwu Universe Country to boil over.

The floating announcement, stretching millions of kilometers, pushed the Virtual Universe Corporation's once-every-ten-thousand-years Peak Genius Battle directly to the top of the Virtual Universe's trending searches.

"Ohohohoh..."

Cheers shook the heavens and Earth, lingering endlessly.

"Five thousand years! The Peak Genius Battle is finally starting. The entire Human Race must be going crazy for this!"

"I'm so excited! The battles and competitions among hundreds of millions of geniuses from various Universe Countries and major powers. Just thinking about it is thrilling."

"In previous Peak Genius Battles, as long as you entered the top one thousand, you could receive coveted rewards. If I hadn't already broken through to Universe Rank, I would definitely go and compete!"

"..."

In the Virtual Universe, every continent representing a 'Universe Country' simultaneously displayed such a giant floating announcement, spreading the news of the impending Peak Genius Battle at the fastest possible speed.

The superiority of the Virtual Universe was fully evident in its ability to disseminate information!

In less than a day, this news had spread throughout the entire Human Race territory.

All Universe Countries cheered and boiled over!

This was a grand event for the Human Race, and also a feast for cultivating genius seeds for humanity... In the Slaughter Space, within a deep, secluded rainforest.

A black-clad youth, wielding dual blades, moved swiftly through the forest, his speed almost imperceptible.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

Suddenly, sounds of rushing wind arose.

Thousands of black-clad figures, densely packed, swarmed towards him, attacking.

Sharp blade gleams intertwined in mid-air, forming a dense net that directly enveloped the youth.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"..."

Sharp cries of killing erupted all around, rushing forward like lightning.

"Is that all!?"

The black-robed youth's gaze was disdainful, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"If that's the case, then die for this daddy!!!"

With that, the black-robed youth raised both hands and began to spin like a bow being drawn from left to right.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

Fierce gusts of wind howled as they swept in all directions, carrying an unstoppable and terrifying power.

The faces of the foremost black-clad warriors drastically changed, each one filled with terror.

The mere pressure was so terrifying.

Let alone the black-robed youth's true lethality.

"Wind Assault — Ten Thousand Blades!!"

"Slash!!"

As Ma Liang's last word fell, pure Origin Power surged from his body, directly transforming into sharp blades that shot out like lightning towards the heads of these black-clad figures.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Heads exploded like watermelons, brains splattering, staining a large area with blood.

The next moment, Ma Liang soared into the air, his entire being transforming into a tornado, charging towards the densest cluster of black-clad figures.

His speed was astonishingly fast, making him impossible to guard against.

At the same time, his dancing dual blades exploded into sharp blade-flowers in mid-air, like the scythe of the God of Death, rapidly harvesting the lives of many black-clad figures.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

Almost every swing of his blade resulted in an instant kill.

Ma Liang's movements were eerie and incredibly fast, forming a perfect rhythm. In a flash, a large number of Astral Rank Level Nine martial artists were cut down by his blades.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind, from an unknown source, blew straight towards his head. Ma Liang seemed to sense it in advance, turning his head slightly to dodge the fierce attack.

Then, with a casual wave, an invisible blade light swept through the air, instantly obliterating the sneak attacker, their gushing blood painting the ground.

"Hmph!"

Ma Liang didn't look back, continuing to harvest his many opponents with wind blades.

Rows upon rows of enemies fell to the ground like wheat, vanishing into thin air.

However, Ma Liang seemed to grow stronger with each battle, his attacks becoming even more formidable.

In just one minute, over a thousand black-clad figures perished by his hand.

"Game over!"

Ma Liang's lips curled into a smile.

Then, he began to survey his surroundings, his eyes filled with satisfaction: "As expected of the fourth-stage clone Boss Fan prepared for me. Its Astral Rank strength is countless times stronger than mine was back then!"

"The battle is over. I'll go stroll around Black Dragon City and see if there's anything fun happening!"

Training finished, Ma Liang walked directly out of the Slaughter Arena.

As soon as he stepped out of this giant, blood-drop-shaped Slaughter Space, what greeted Ma Liang's eyes was the enormous floating announcement.

"Finally... the Peak Genius Battle has finally arrived!" This clone of Ma Liang couldn't help but get excited: "I've been cultivating for so many years, just waiting for this moment!

Next, it's my time to shine!"

"Hahaha, I must share this good news with Chen Boss Fan and the others!"

...Earth, Asian Continent, Kyoto Base City.

It was midnight.

Chen Fan was lying on the open-air balcony with Venina and the other two women, bathing in the starlight, feeling utterly content.

"Husband, when do you think we'll be able to have a thousand babies!"

Suddenly, Venina looked at Chen Fan, her bright, diamond-like eyes full of allure.

"If you want, I can give it to you right now."

Under the tranquil night sky, Chen Fan's lips curved into a deep smile.

The past two decades, from 2038 to 2066, were the most comfortable and pleasant time he had ever lived.

However, Chen Fan knew very well that such good days would come to an end this year.

"We're still far from a thousand babies. If ten years aren't enough, then a hundred years, a thousand years..." At this moment, Isadora spoke. As the oldest of the four, she always had the demeanor of an older sister, always making Chen Fan unable to resist.

"Yes, we are all Universe Rank Level Nine martial artists now, and we've even used domain lord bloodline potions, so our lifespans are much, much longer than ordinary martial artists!"

Venina nestled against Chen Fan's chest, her slender fingers continuously drawing circles on his chest.

"Husband, if you become powerful in the future, will you abandon us three sisters!"

For some unknown reason, Yao Rao suddenly asked this question.

"Hmm?" Hearing this question for the first time, Chen Fan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "No matter how powerful I become in the future, you three will always be my most beloved wives."

"Mm!" x3

The three women nodded with almost all their strength.

"Over these years, we've often played in the Virtual Universe and have come to know that those Domain Lords, World Lords, and even Undying beings have many, many wives. So, Husband, if you want, just find them, but you must always remember us!"

It was still Venina speaking, while the other two women listened quietly.

Through years of companionship, Chen Fan and they had nurtured no less than one hundred and twenty babies together.

They had almost complete trust in each other.

But this vast and wondrous universe was, after all, full of temptations.

They also knew that Chen Fan would certainly not remain confined to one corner in the future.

So, this preemptive warning was very necessary!

"Don't worry, I know all this!"

"We've been through so many years, don't you still believe me?" Chen Fan asked.

"As long as you cultivate diligently, our time together in the future will be long, preferably forever..." Chen Fan's voice became joyful, and a blazing fire burned in his eyes.

Over the years, having seen more, Chen Fan's breadth of mind and vision also grew day by day.

So, Chen Fan pursued more.

Therefore, over these past eight years, while his main body diligently improved, the training of his Heavenly Demon Race Clone also continued diligently.

Currently, Chen Fan's main body had already reached Domain Level Nine and had also crossed the threshold of the Water, Fire, Gold, and Time Origin Laws.

His comprehension of the four great Origin Laws was inseparable from the guidance and supervision of Enchantress Liu Qiyue.

Similarly, after these four great Origin Laws integrated into Chen Fan's Level Nine Domain, the power unleashed was not to be underestimated, even by ordinary World Lord powerhouses.

With the birth of his Heavenly Demon Race Clone, Chen Fan's main body also gained a deep understanding of the Space Law, barely crossing its threshold.

In terms of Will Amplitude, Chen Fan had reached a terrifying 88. This was not only due to his main body's powerful will but also the soul strength of his Heavenly Demon Race Clone.

Invincible will, Domain Level Nine, crossing the threshold of the five great Origin Laws, plus the guidance of the Enchantress and the legacies of two top Universe Overlords... Any one of these was something an ordinary Astral Rank martial artist would not dare to dream of.

At this point, Chen Fan abandoned the path of a Psycher Master and focused on the path of close-quarters combat!

One cannot serve two masters!

Chen Fan did not want to follow City Lord Luo's path of both Spiritual power and martial arts; he only needed to specialize in one.

Coupled with his level of comprehension of the five great Origin Laws, he would surely make rapid progress then.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Chen Fan's lips.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Letting out a long breath, Chen Fan stood up.

Looking up at the myriad stars, Chen Fan solemnly vowed: "Universe Genius Battle, I will take first place for myself!"

He feared neither Bolan nor Rong Jun.

As for facing City Lord Luo, Chen Fan still decided not to hold back at all.

After all, the birth of any powerhouse must surely be fraught with hardship and vicissitudes.

Since Luo Feng's birth, his life had been smooth sailing.

"Oh, right, where are my parents?"

Almost as an afterthought, Chen Fan suddenly remembered his parents and asked, "Where did they go?"

"Mom and Dad, hehe!" Yao Rao smiled upon hearing this.

"They moved to Qiulong Star for vacation a long time ago. They're probably still playing 'Greedy Blood Moon' right now!" Yao Rao said mysteriously.

"The virtual network where 'Brothers, come chop me down!' is played?" Chen Fan was a bit confused.

"Yes!" The three women nodded simultaneously.

"Internet-addicted parents!" Chen Fan's head was filled with black lines, and he said somewhat helplessly.

But in truth, he was quite happy. His parents had toiled hard their entire lives, and now they finally had time to enjoy life properly.

"Hmm, remember to remind them to exercise regularly and not get too addicted to games!" Chen Fan said earnestly.

The three women all happily replied.

"Beep beep beep!"

Suddenly—

The communication watch on Chen Fan's wrist lit up.

He raised his hand to look, and it turned out to be a call request from Ma Liang.

After connecting, Chen Fan spoke first: "Old Ma, is something up?"

"Chen Boss Fan, let's chat in the Virtual Universe, something huge has happened!"

"Great news!"

"..."

Above the vast Pacific Ocean, winds and clouds surged.

Dark clouds hung low, like a scene of doomsday.

Wang Teng, alone with his spear, practiced his spear techniques amidst the wind and waves.

To one side, his clone sat cross-legged on the surface of the sea, watching his main body's every move and spear technique—

At times, Wang Teng's spear struck out like a dragon, possessing the power to overturn rivers and seas;

The next moment, the long spear in his hand swept across, unstoppable by a myriad of troops.

At times, waves surged a thousandfold, his speed as swift as a shadow, appearing unexpectedly anywhere... Scenes alternated and changed, each spear strike inevitably sending hundreds of meters of spray into the air.

However, this was already with Wang Teng severely suppressing his power.

Otherwise, the entire Pacific Ocean would be churned upside down by him.

With every move, Wang Teng seemed to be one with his spear, displaying incredibly fluid actions that were a delight to behold.

"As expected of the main body, these spear techniques have benefited me greatly!"

At this moment, Wang Teng's clone smiled and sighed with emotion, then sat up: "Now, let me show you the spear techniques of this clone!"

"Good!" Wang Teng nodded, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Watch closely!"

"First move — Flood Dragon Soaring Through the Sea!!"

At some point, a silver long spear appeared in Wang Teng's clone's hand, making him look like a white-clad spear immortal.

Just as Wang Teng's clone was about to perform the first spear move, both their wrist communicators simultaneously received a message—

"Urgent! Return to the Virtual Universe immediately!"

"Sender — Ma Liang!!"

"Brother Ma's summons!?" Wang Teng's main body and clone exchanged glances, then both nodded.

"Let's go back!" Both said in unison.

The next moment, their figures were no longer on the surging sea.

The turbulent waves slowly calmed down, dying down.

At the same time, elite Earth martial artists vacationing in various parts of the Milky Way Galaxy all received a message and entered the Virtual Universe... Virtual Universe, Qianwu Continent, Black Dragon Mountain Island.

Within the Moon Lake residential area, heroes gathered.

A full one hundred and fifty people, all of them elite Earth martial artists.

At this moment, everyone was looking up at the sky.

In the sky... an incomparably huge floating announcement fluttered, like a celestial curtain.

"Peak Genius Battle, I've finally waited for you!" Chen Fan smiled.

"A grand event for the entire Human Race, a battle of hundreds of millions of geniuses!!"

Ma Liang's face was somewhat flushed, his eyes fixed on the sky curtain, as if he could never get enough of looking at it.

"The battle of countless geniuses, it's truly exciting!" Thunder God looked at the contents of the announcement, involuntarily taking a sharp breath.

This was simply too crazy, too spectacular.

After all, a medium-level cosmic civilization alone had hundreds of millions of Astral Rank martial artists.

Let alone a Qianwu Universe Country, which possessed tens of thousands of medium-level civilizations; the number of geniuses was even more immeasurable.

"How interesting!" Hong slightly narrowed his eyes, his heart beating a few extra times.

He had inherited the legacy of King Ni Yuan, a Champion Undying, and he was confident that he was not inferior to anyone.

Not only him, but over seventy Earth martial artists present had all inherited the legacy of a powerhouse from the Inheritance Tower.

For such a cosmic grand event, they only had one thought in their hearts—

Fight!!!
