A World-Shaking Battle, Fame Spreads Far and Wide

!

"Rumble!"

The earth shook violently, as though letting out a cry of pain.

Amid the densely packed sea of people, every strand of Lu Ming's short black hair stood on end. His black eyes swept across his surroundings, seeming to contain endless lightning. Around his body lay a Thunder Purgatory as dazzling as the sun, filled with boundless might.

The secret technique "Thunder Prison" might only have a limited restraining effect against a single enemy, unable to display much power. But in the current situation, it was perfectly suited for wildly harvesting the lives of ordinary enemies with tremendous efficiency.

Although the Thunder Purgatory Lu Ming maintained covered a considerable area, aside from true geniuses who had gained some insight into the Origin Law, ordinary people were simply walking into death by entering it.

Yet, even within the same world zone, there were at most a little over a hundred geniuses who had gained insight into the Origin Law. Those who had truly crossed the threshold of the Origin Law numbered only three to five.

Furthermore, a batch of the true geniuses in the Seventh World Zone had already been "cleared out" by Lu Ming earlier. Naturally, there were even fewer of them now.

For this very reason, although the battlefield appeared to be crowded with countless enemies, there were only a few who could truly threaten Lu Ming.

Have they come? These fellows really know how to seize an opportunity... Although Lu Ming could wildly alter his form and position after using the "Instant Thunder" Movement Technique, making it impossible for anyone to locate his true body.

Doing so, however, consumed a great deal of mental effort. Thus, he deliberately exposed a flaw, luring Demon Blade and the others into launching a "desperate final strike" against him.

"Origin-Breaking Slash!"

"Vajra Spear Shatter!"

Demon Blade, King of Strength, and the other warriors suddenly erupted with dazzling lights of various colors, transforming into violent streams of air as they charged into the Thunder Prison.

"Star Shattering Needle—Aurora Stab!"

"Ghost Fire Lotus—Wrath of God!"

The other top experts either controlled Psychic Weapons to unleash their strongest moves or directly launched concentrated Soul Attacks!

"Boom!" The terrifying Thunder Purgatory spreading around Lu Ming's body did not stop the experts' advance. Instead, it actively opened gaps, allowing them to close in on his true body even faster!

Countless arcs of lightning continued flashing within the Thunder Purgatory, but in a brief instant, it opened and closed more than a dozen times.

"Die!"

"Demon God, fall!"

Demon Blade, King of Strength, Azure Fire... every expert stared fixedly at Lu Ming's figure.

"Perfect timing!" Facing the people who had entered his domain—or rather, those whom he had deliberately let in—Lu Ming revealed a delighted smile instead of showing alarm.

"Condense!"

Under Lu Ming's full-force conscious control, the entire blazing white lightning domain abruptly expanded.

"What?!"

"This is—"

Every expert about to collide with Lu Ming instinctively sensed that something was wrong. However, it was already too late!

"Thunder Prison Storm—Activate!"

The already vast Thunder Purgatory instantly expanded into a gigantic oval sphere of lightning. Immediately afterward, this enormous lightning sphere collided with everyone around it!

"Boom!" Thousands upon thousands of incomparably dazzling lightning bolts went berserk, unleashing a world-shaking storm of death within the Thunder Purgatory!

At the same time, everyone's ultimate attacks were instantly forced to tangle with those bolts of lightning. As for Lu Ming himself, he was already in a place that seemed within their reach, yet was utterly impossible to touch!

"This bastard!" The peerlessly beautiful girl Demon Blade and the others were filled with shock and fury, but they no longer had time for any other action.

Because in the next moment, Lu Ming's counterattack descended.

"Thunder Prison Storm—Endless Annihilation!"

Within the Thunder Purgatory, the entire Heaven and Earth was instantly filled with terrifying electric serpents raging madly. Brilliant, dazzling bolts of lightning flashed one after another, gathering and overlapping until they finally formed a terrifying thunderstorm stretching from heaven to earth!

"Crack! Crack—"

Standing at the center of the thunderstorm, Lu Ming seemed like the Thunder God descending into the world. He controlled the world-destroying thunderstorm and madly annihilated every enemy within the Thunder Prison!

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" ... Explosions rang out continuously within the thunderstorm, as dense as raindrops, heralding the fate of every intruder being crushed into dust!

"This!"

"Isn't this far too outrageous?!"

Outside, even though they could only watch through screens, everyone could feel just how terrifying this man who commanded thunder and lightning was. Every movement he made seemed to contain the vast majesty of Heaven!

Demon God—this was a true Demon God!

"What exactly just happened?"

"Yeah, Demon Blade and the others were all trapped for an instant. Not a single one escaped. That was too miserable!"

Even these spectators could not help pitying Demon Blade and the others for what had just happened to them.

Within the Virtual Universe, inside the massive building on the floating island above Jinlan Continent.

One enormous throne after another held towering beings who were also watching this battle. They had even wagered on whether Lu Ming could survive in the end.

But now—

"The Time Origin Law!"

"With such a high level of comprehension of the Lightning Origin Law, we should have expected that he would also comprehend the Time Origin Law!"

"And this kid's combat awareness is incredibly strong. He actually integrated his comprehension of the Time Origin Law into his domain secret technique as well. Unbelievable!"

Lu Ming's "Thunder Prison" secret technique was already an extremely powerful domain-type secret technique. Yet in that instant just now, Lu Ming's domain had fused the "Lightning Origin Law" and the "Time Origin Law" almost perfectly, giving the domain a sensation of "time freezing" the instant it was unleashed.

It was precisely because of this special effect that Demon Blade and the others involuntarily "stalled" for an instant, allowing Lu Ming to ravage them in the end.

"To have such profound comprehension of the Lightning Origin Law while also comprehending the Time Origin Law... it seems our Jinlan Universe Kingdom has not produced such an unparalleled genius for several thousand Genius Battles." A female Immortal whose appearance resembled a beautiful fish could not help sighing.

"Judging from previous Genius Battles, Lu Ming's strength gives him every chance to contend for the top five, or even first place! Could first place in this Genius Battle finally belong to our Jinlan Universe Kingdom?" Another six-eared Immortal powerhouse in golden armor drained the wine in his cup.

"To achieve this at the Stellar level is simply defying the heavens. Who is this little fellow's teacher?" Someone became curious about Lu Ming's background.

"I know. It's that fellow Marquis Zhenlei."

"Marquis Zhenlei? That fellow actually picked up such a huge bargain!" Quite a few people secretly envied him.

"With Lu Ming's astonishing performance, Jiu Yue, you'll have a much easier time reporting to the Kingdom Lord later!" The Immortals looked toward a battle general-like Immortal with a towering build like Tietta, draped in a green cloak.

Jiu Yue was the Immortal powerhouse responsible for leading the Jinlan Universe Kingdom's geniuses this time. He was a direct subordinate of the Jinlan Kingdom Lord and deeply trusted.

"With Lu Ming here, this Genius Battle has only just begun, yet our Jinlan Universe Kingdom is already aiming for the final victory!" The many Immortals of the Jinlan Universe Kingdom were all in high spirits.

Especially after learning that Lu Ming was a genius trained internally by the Jinlan Dojo, they naturally felt an additional measure of goodwill toward him.

At the same time, countless people from other universe kingdoms also watched in shock as the black-haired youth on the screen appeared like a lightning Demon God.

Lu Ming's fame had already spread far and wide before this, entering the sight of other universe kingdoms and drawing the attention of many major factions.

After witnessing today's final "mad battle," Lu Ming left them with an impression that would be impossible to erase.

After this battle, the geniuses of other universe kingdoms would surely attach great importance to Lu Ming's existence, perhaps even regard him as their foremost enemy.
