Advancing Phantom Demon Galesi

The selection battle for "Cosmic Humans - Pinnacle Genius," which began in 2066, has officially entered its countdown.

This also marks the official arrival of the final climax.

Early morning.

In the Central Plaza, 1,000 exceptional geniuses gathered.

"Venerable One!"

In the distance, 1008 immortals respectfully bowed.

"Um."

The Azure-Robed Purple-Scaled Man in the distance nodded slightly, then turned to look down at the 1,000 young people and said, "Today is a good day. We will select the top 100, the top 10, the first place and the second place from among you 1,000 people in one day."

"Are you all ready? Then let the final battle begin!"

The Azure-Robed Purple-Scaled Man looked down at the crowd, then waved his hand, and 100 huge arenas appeared directly in the Central Plaza. Each arena was covered by a strange black net around its edge and above. At the same time, 200 young men and women, including Bolan the Death God, Savage Rong Jun, and Illusion Demon Galesi, were directly teleported into the arena.

There are two people in each arena.

Most of the powerful immortals and the geniuses who were not qualified to participate in the battle turned their attention to Lin Yan's arena.

A man with flowing silver hair and silver-gray markings on his face looked at Lin Yan and gave a wry smile.

Damn it!

In terms of the order of battle, what's the difference between me and those 800 people?

Holding his War Blade, he bowed slightly. "I am Liu Qi, ranked 162nd in the Trial Space. Please give me your guidance."

Lin Yan nodded slightly. "Lin Yan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qi's entire body burst with golden light, and even his ancient War Blade was stained with dazzling golden light. In just an instant, he appeared in front of Lin Yan.

Gold, the most yang and the most masculine!

The endless blades converged and were about to strike Lin Yan.

Boom!

Lin Yan didn't even move, and in the Lightning Flash, Liu Qi's body and the dazzling blade light instantly shattered and disintegrated.

Liu Qi, defeated!

In his first victory, Lin Yan entered the top 100, and his prize money increased to 100 Hun Yuan Unit, allowing him to enter the Virtual Universe Company "Heaven and Earth Secret Realm".

"Congratulations to the young men standing on the arena." The Azure-Robed Purple-Scaled Man stood in mid-air, looking down at the 100 young men and women on the arena. "First of all, congratulations on entering the top 100. You can enter the 'Heaven and Earth Secret Realm' of my Virtual Universe Company. Now we need to select the best 20 of you."

"According to the selection criteria of the Virtual Universe System, I will submit a list of 20 people."

With such a precedent set, naturally no one would dare to question such rules again.

Immediately, most of the 100 young geniuses who had just won on the stage became nervous. Although they had won, only 20 of them were qualified for the next battle, which would determine the top 10!

"Lin Yan!"

The Azure-Robed Purple-Scaled Man began to announce a list of 20 people.

"Bolan!"

"Gusiluo!"

"Ai Chen!"

"Uka!"

"Yifeng!"

"Galesi!"

"Rong Jun!"

As names were announced one by one, those who hadn't been called up couldn't hide their anxiety. They were all victors, and only 20 would be able to participate in the next battle!

"Qian Shui!"

"Luo Feng!"

"Tao!"

"The 20 people selected by the Virtual Universe System are the same 20 I announced earlier," the Azure-Robed Purple-Scaled Man said with a smile. "Please have these 20 people rest and recover from the previous battle. The next battle will begin in a while. As for who your opponents are... you'll find out during the battle!"

Lin Yan understood that having an opponent not publicly announced until the battle was also a test of mental fortitude.

But for him, no matter who the opponent is, there will be no surprises. He glanced at Luo Feng, hoping not to run into Luo Feng. After all, being able to enter the top ten is the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm, while not being able to enter is the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and the difference is huge.

Luo Feng was looking around. He did have the strength to enter the top ten, but under these rules, luck also needed to be taken into account.

Of these 20 people, he lacked confidence in dealing with many of the others.

Seeing Lin Yan's gaze, he smiled, nodded, and then stopped thinking about it. He closed his eyes, his mind gradually sinking into a state of tranquility, silently waiting for the battle to begin.

About half an hour later.

"Rumble..." The Central Plaza shook, and ten giant arenas gradually rose in the center of the square. The arenas were covered with a large number of black silk strips. At the same time, Lin Yan and the other twenty people who were resting were instantly teleported into these ten giant arenas.

Inside the arena.

"Depend on!"

"A terrible tragedy! That Blood Axe 'Tao' actually ran into Death 'Bolan'?"

"And Lin Yan's opponent is none other than the Phantom Demon 'Galesi'!"

"Even the Phantom Demon 'Galesi' was considered to have the strength of a top ten, but when he encountered Lin Yan, he could only stop there."

"Everyone was guessing who was so unlucky as to run into Lin Yan and Bolan, and it turns out it was those two. Poor guys." The other 980 geniuses watching from a distance laughed.

Before the duel between Lin Yan and Bolan began, they were invincible.

On the arena.

The obese giant 'Tao', who was always unruly and unrestrained, gripped that terrifying Giant Axe and stared at the white-robed youth in front of him like a ferocious beast.

The tall, thin man, shrouded in a black robe and riding Black Light Wheel, stared coldly at the Sky Shattering Shuttle.

But anyone could guess the outcome.

Even a Venerable One said that the first and second place were already decided, and the probability of an upset was almost zero.

"'Gusiluo' versus 'Rong Jun'?"

"Gusiluo is ranked third in the Trial Space. He is an absolutely perfect and monstrous person. Among these 20 people, he is probably the closest to Lin Yan and Bolan. If Rong Jun encounters Gusiluo, he is doomed."

"'Luo Feng' versus 'Opatra' —both are considered to be among the top ten. It's going to be interesting to see these two clash!"

Ten arenas, ten battles.

Compared to the previous battles, this duel is now the true pinnacle of this year's Genius Battle!

The Bolan the Death God in white robes and a blood-stained sword, the battle-ready young man from the Manka Star, the genius brother and sister from the mysterious Augustus Planet, the six-meter-tall, fleshy giant carrying Blood Axe, the Mengluo Wing Race girl, the hairy-faced giant resembling a bear, the alluring black-stockinged girl with four arms, the shy boy with a hint of bashfulness on his face, and the Wildman Youth with messy hair and bare feet...

At this time of dazzling stars, let us fully display our light and passion.

On the arena.

The tall, slender figure shrouded in a black robe appeared very composed, with a cold and detached gaze.

But in front of the Black-haired Man in black battle robes who stood on the Sky Shattering Shuttle, he was like a small boat about to capsize in a storm. Before the duel even began, his aura was completely suppressed.

"Lin Yan," the Illusion Demon Galesi said in a hoarse, low voice, "Perhaps others fear you, but I do not. Become lost in the illusion I have woven for you!"

The Illusion Demon Galesi, shrouded in a black robe, secretly cursed his bad luck.

According to what the Country Lord instructed him about his "Bewitching God" secret technique, only Lin Yan and Bolan could remain unmoved. Others probably couldn't withstand it. He was absolutely confident in mastering the first ten volumes, but how could he be so unlucky as to encounter Lin Yan at this time?

His gaze grew even colder. Even if Lin Yan could fall into the illusion without being bewitched, it would still take time to break free. With the help of his psychic weapon, he... might not be without a chance.

He secretly cheered himself up.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it."

All ten arenas awaited the announcement.

"Let the battle begin," the Azure-Robed Purple-Scaled Man said from afar, his voice echoing in everyone's ears. Almost simultaneously, the battles on the ten arenas erupted instantly!

The Illusion Demon Galesi, standing on Black Light Wheel, had cold eyes and slightly moving lips.

An invisible wave of psychic energy instantly reached Lin Yan. The psychic energy was extremely fast, and Lin Yan had a smile on his face when the invisible psychic energy invaded his mind.

As he unleashed his Mental Illusion, the Illusion Demon Galesi waved his hand, and the Black Light Wheel beneath his feet instantly transformed into a beam of black light, slashing directly at Lin Yan's head in the distance.

Attack simultaneously with "Mental Illusion" and "psychic weapon"!

Buzz...

An invisible force of thought quietly seeped into Lin Yan's sea of consciousness.

The sea of consciousness was vast and boundless, yet a pale golden tower almost filled the entire sea of consciousness. This Tower of Void had three layers, its entire body crystal clear with a faint pale gold hue, and secret patterns emerged within it, seemingly perfect and without any flaws, protecting the Soul Core inside.

"Call!"

The ethereal mental power unleashed by the Illusion Demon Galesi invaded Lin Yan's sea of consciousness, directly touching the Tower of Void. Upon contact, it did not launch a direct attack, but instead spread out like a thin film, slowly adhering to the Tower of Void and gradually making contact.

The Tower of Void is essentially a structure of Mental Power in a special and incredibly precise order, but it is still fundamentally Mental Power.

Mental Power, on the other hand, contains a trace of consciousness.

The soul is actually a collection of countless spiritual forces. When that ethereal spiritual force touches the Tower of Void, although the Tower of Void has a tight defense over the Soul Core and cannot affect the depths of the mind, consciousness will still be affected by the illusion.

But.

Lin Yan's will was unwavering, his understanding of the Origin Law was profound, and his consciousness was influenced by the Universe Origin, making him impossible to be easily shaken. Even though the Mental Illusion of the Illusion Demon Galesi was incredibly powerful, it was meaningless to him.

"Ha ha..."

Standing on the arena, the Illusion Demon Galesi's face lit up with joy. At this crucial moment, his "Bewitching God" secret technique had entered its third level!

Who else!

Who else can rival him?

"Call out!"

The Black Light Wheel directly through Lin Yan's head, and Lin Yan's body crashed to the ground.

"Ah, Lin Yan actually lost!"

"This Illusion Demon Galesi is absolutely terrifying!"

The many geniuses watching the battle all showed expressions of astonishment, and the 1008 immortals and venerables were all extremely shocked. Lin Yan, who was eliminated, looked ashamed and indignant. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential!"

As the Illusion Demon Galesi gradually reached the pinnacle of his life, he sneered, "A pretty face, a defeated opponent!"

In the subsequent matches, he defeated all the so-called Thousand Waters Aichen and Ukaberan, becoming invincible and successfully entering the Primal Secret Realm. Even the Venerable One looked at him with admiration.

The Azure-Robed Purple-Scaled Man smiled and said, "Galesi, to be able to cultivate the 'Bewitching God' secret technique to the third level at the Stellar level, you are definitely a genius that appears only once every tens of thousands of epochs. I want to take you as my disciple."

Lin Yan and Bolan, who were standing nearby, cast envious and jealous glances at them.

"A genius that appears only once every tens of thousands of epochs!"

"This is a Venerable One! They immediately accepted him as their disciple!"

The Illusion Demon Galesi no longer cared about his defeated opponents. Overjoyed, he immediately bowed and said, "Teacher!"

The Azure-Robed Purple-Scaled Man shook his head, his voice gentle. "Why are you calling me teacher? That's too formal."

"Call me Dad."

Oh my god!

Galesi's eyes were filled with shock. What kind of request was this?

Could I be this Venerable One's illegitimate son? He looked me up and down, but I didn't look like him at all. Could I be a genetic mutation?

At this moment—

"Call!"

The illusion shattered instantly, and his consciousness completely collapsed.

Illusion Demon Galesi, defeated!

Lin Yan wins and enters the top ten!

"Huh? You lost?"

"What exactly just happened?" Many geniuses watching the match were shocked. From their perspective, neither Illusion Demon Galesi nor Lin Yan had moved an inch. Yet, in the blink of an eye, Illusion Demon Galesi had lost!

Could it be...?

One of the geniuses shuddered, his eyes wide with shock. "My God, Phantom Demon... he threw the match!"

This is outrageous! They're fixing the match!

The others immediately turned to look at the fool.

Who are these people?

"Screw you," someone nearby hissed. "You guys, do you remember the battle video of Illusion Demon Galesi before?"

"Every time, they didn't even need to use telekinetic weapons; they simply used soul attacks to obliterate their opponents within the illusion..."

He had barely finished speaking.

The other geniuses watching the battle quickly realized what was happening, and their faces showed disbelief.

"You mean..."

The speaker's tone was somewhat terrified. "Lin Yan used illusion magic to obliterate Galesi, who was known as the 'Phantom Demon'?"
