Peak Genius Battle

A screen appeared out of thin air before Yu Ke Nuo Lanshan. A moment later, a figure appeared on it, dressed in a dark green combat uniform with a strange Giant Axe medal hanging from his chest.

This man was Nuo Lanshan. The strange Giant Axe medal on his chest was known as the Giant Axe Medal, issued by the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, one of the five great giants of the Human Race. It represented supreme honor.

Obtaining a Giant Axe Medal was extremely difficult and required surviving one life-or-death battle after another. Any warrior who earned a Giant Axe Medal was unquestionably a powerhouse among those of the same rank!

"Yu Ke, it seems your mission failed. And who are you? Which faction do you belong to, and why are you helping Earth?"

During the last invasion of Earth by cosmic adventurers, although they had ultimately failed, they had gathered information about Earth. According to what Nuo Lanshan had learned, there had been no powerhouse named Yue Ming on Earth.

Thus, he suspected that Yue Ming might have come from another force in the universe. Perhaps news had accidentally leaked, allowing other factions to learn of Earth and come seeking a share of the spoils.

"You must be Nuo Lanshan, right? I think you may have misunderstood. Earth is my homeland. I am a genuine Earthling."

"A peerless genius like you actually appeared on Earth. You can kill a Universe Level warrior while only at the Stellar Level. I've lived for over a hundred thousand years. Though I had heard of peerless geniuses like you before, this is the first time I've encountered one in reality. Your future is limitless!"

Nuo Lanshan's tone was calm, but his heart brimmed with killing intent. The Nuo Lanshan Family had invaded Earth time and again, and their enmity had already been established. A peerless genius like this absolutely could not be allowed to grow, or he would become a disaster for the Nuo Lanshan Family.

"Nuo Lanshan, I know what you're thinking. Are you thinking of doing everything possible to get rid of me before I grow stronger? Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I won't give you that chance!"

"Although I don't think much of a mere Universe Level ninth-rank like you, and I'm even confident I could kill you, you've lived so long that you must have some connections. There's no guarantee you won't invite powerful helpers, so I'll leave Earth immediately and deny you any opportunity!"

"Besides, the Virtual Universe Company will soon hold the Peak Genius Battle. Nuo Lanshan, do you think that with my strength, I might be able to join the Virtual Universe Company and become one of their core members?"

After hearing Yue Ming's words, Nuo Lanshan fell silent. The Virtual Universe Company's upcoming Peak Genius Battle was no secret, and he naturally knew about it. Given the strength Yue Ming had displayed, there was a high chance that he would distinguish himself in the Peak Genius Battle.

"What do you want?"

"Nuo Lanshan, I'll give you a chance to bury the hatchet. Two hundred billion Gan Wu Coins, and the grievances between your Nuo Lanshan Family and Earth will be wiped clean! Think carefully about what choice to make."

"I accept your terms. I hope you'll keep your promise. From this day onward, the grievances between the Nuo Lanshan Family and Earth will be completely written off. Leave your bank account number. The two hundred billion Gan Wu Coins will be transferred to your account within three days."

"A wise choice!"

Nuo Lanshan gave Yue Ming a deep look. Yue Ming truly had him over a barrel. Otherwise, even if he had to give up most of the benefits, he would still have done everything possible to eliminate Yue Ming, this great threat.

Unfortunately, Yue Ming gave him no chance at all. With the Peak Genius Battle about to begin, Yue Ming was highly likely to stand out. Nuo Lanshan could only compromise for now.

"One last thing. All the treasures on Earth are with me. When I leave Earth, I'll take them all with me."

After saying that, Yue Ming casually struck down Yu Ke Nuo Lanshan with a single sword. The video call ended there.

Seeing a dignified Universe Level powerhouse slaughtered by Yue Ming as easily as a chicken made Luo Feng's eyebrows twitch.

Yu Ke Nuo Lanshan probably never imagined, even until his death, that despite both sides having supposedly buried the hatchet and his family having paid two hundred billion Gan Wu Coins in compensation, Yue Ming would still kill him without hesitation.

"Brother Ming, do you really believe Nuo Lanshan's words?"

Luo Feng clearly did not trust Nuo Lanshan's words. Agreeing to bury the hatchet might have merely been a way to stabilize them. Who knew when he might deliver them a fatal blow?

"Does it matter whether I believe him? Taking his two hundred billion Gan Wu Coins was only to stabilize him for now. The Peak Genius Battle is about to begin. Once we join the Virtual Universe Company, killing him will be as easy as saying the word!"

What Nuo Lanshan thought was unimportant. The Peak Genius Battle would be held in two years. As long as they could distinguish themselves in it and successfully join the Virtual Universe Company, then none of the problems would remain problems.

But if they failed in the Peak Genius Battle, Nuo Lanshan would definitely strike again. Both sides were waiting now, and it all depended on whether Yue Ming and the others could achieve good results in the Peak Genius Battle.

"I can't stay on Earth, lest Nuo Lanshan seize an opportunity. As long as he can't find me, he'll have reservations and won't dare act rashly against Earth. So I'll leave Earth's affairs to you. This is called the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning Pearl. Once detonated, it can instantly kill Domain Lord level warriors and may even kill World Lord level warriors. Keep it in case of emergencies..."

Yue Ming handed the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning Pearl to Luo Feng, erased the spiritual imprint within it, and gave Luo Feng the method for refining it.

He had spent five trillion points to buy the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning Pearl, equivalent to more than a dozen Primordial Units. Once detonated, it could instantly kill Domain Lord level warriors and might even kill World Lord level warriors.

With the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning Pearl, even if Nuo Lanshan jumped the wall in desperation and attacked Earth without regard for the consequences, Luo Feng and the others would have the power to resist.

"Brother Ming, have a safe journey. See you at the Peak Genius Battle!"

"See you at the Peak Genius Battle!"

Yue Ming boarded a spacecraft and entered Dark Universe. Before long, he flew out of the Solar System. He did not return to Qiu Long Star, instead heading to another inhabited planet, Herka Star.

"For the next two years, I'll stay in seclusion on Herka Star and wait for the Peak Genius Battle to begin!"

After spending more than ten billion Black Dragon Coins to purchase an estate on Herka Star, Yue Ming began his seclusion. Besides comprehending the Origin Laws, he also needed to cultivate the Primordial Saint Body to increase his force multiplier.

As for the Water Sky One Line secret technique and the Sevenfold Space Secret Technique, he did not plan to cultivate them for now. Both secret techniques were only ordinary grade. No matter how much he cultivated them, their power could never surpass the Fusion Law.

Level: Stellar Level ninth rank (third tier)

Realm: Water Origin Laws 20%, Space Origin Laws 15%, Water-Space Fusion Law 15% (first level)

Genes: 100 times

Force: 55 times

Secret Techniques: Water Sky One Line, Sevenfold Space, first volume of Primordial Saint Body

Two years passed in the blink of an eye. Aside from raising his comprehension of the Water Origin Laws to 20%, Yue Ming had spent most of his time cultivating the Primordial Saint Body, increasing his force multiplier to 55 times.

Reaching a force multiplier of 55 times at the Stellar Level was exceedingly rare across the entire human universe. Yue Ming did not continue his seclusion, because the Peak Genius Battle was about to begin.

By Earth's calendar, it was now March 1st, 2066. If Yue Ming remembered correctly, registration for the Peak Genius Battle in the original work began on March 9th, meaning only eight days remained.
