Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had gone by.

The city center had now been reduced to ruins. The smell of blood still lingered in the air, mingling with dust particles floating around. On the rooftop of a relatively intact small building amidst the wreckage, Bai Yue sat cross-legged.

Over the past week, he had traversed almost the entire city, eliminating numerous participants. The terrifying power of a Mental Master was fully displayed. Within the range of his Mental Power, dense Golden Small Swords shuttled through the void, continuously reaping the lives of participants.

His widespread, merciless slaughter naturally provoked resistance from the participants, but such resistance was ultimately futile. Just moments ago, the last remaining participants in this city, led by over a dozen Domain Nine experts, had attempted to surround and kill him. The final outcome was a significant surge in his points.

Participant: Bai Yue (Black Dragon Mountain Empire) Points: 5760545 Rank: 3 World Zone: Sixth World Zone

Since teleporting in, he hadn't stopped. After clearing out one city, he had achieved such results. It was only the first week of the preliminary rounds.

"It seems I need to head to other cities!" he sighed. After he had mowed down the last wave of resistance, the other participants in this city either hid or fled, daring not to confront him, which greatly reduced his efficiency.

He stood up and flew in one direction. Yesterday, he had killed a powerful individual from another city, who had provided some information about other powerhouses in this world zone. Knowing that there were several individuals who had grasped the basics of law in that city, he headed there.

After he left, the city finally became active again. Although his rampage had significantly reduced the number of participants, there were still a vast number of survivors within this vast area.

"This plague god has finally left. I wonder which genius he is. With his level, he should have no problem joining the Virtual Universe Company, right?" In a dilapidated building, a few survivors gathered, discussing the departing Bai Yue.

"A few days ago, when I was in contact with others, I heard about him. He appeared in Black Dragon Mountain's Slaughter Arena and Duel Space about two years ago and has maintained an undefeated record for tens of thousands of matches. Oh, and his title is Heavenly Emperor!"

"Heavenly Emperor? How dare he?"

"How dare he not? Perhaps we are witnessing the rise of an extraordinary powerhouse!"

Unbeknownst to Bai Yue, as he was engaged in his massive slaughter, he was recognized by some who had seen him in the Duel Space. The moniker he used in the Duel Space had also spread!

Furthermore, due to his sweeping purges, participants in this city had fled in large numbers, causing his name to spread throughout the entire world zone, making most participants aware of this killing god.

While instilling fear in most, it also attracted the attention of powerhouses from various major cities, all eager to kill this rampant individual and claim his points!

A few hours later, Bai Yue finally reached his target city. From afar, he could see smoke rising everywhere within the city, resembling the aftermath of a modern war, with scenes of desolation and ruin everywhere.

He landed on the ground and slowly walked towards the city. The usually clean streets were now filled with rubble and debris, making a crunching sound with every step, which was particularly jarring in this environment.

Suddenly, three attacks, or rather four, struck his exposed back, neck, and other areas!

One of these attacks was formless and traceless, directly targeting his Sea of Consciousness. This attack came from a Mental Master, a highly advanced mental attack secret technique.

An attack that had always been effective failed to stir any ripples today. Seeing Bai Yue's gaze turn towards him, Ronald felt a jolt of surprise, both at the ineffectiveness of his attack and at the killing intent emanating from those eyes!

In those eyes, he seemed to see mountains of knives and seas of blood, with corpses strewn everywhere, causing his body to tremble involuntarily. His mind was filled with only the frantic urge to escape, yet his body remained frozen in place, unable to move.

Although this body was not as strong as his other two clones, the core soul defense secret technique of Meteor Star, Void Tower, had been cultivated to the third level. If not for the limitations of the body, the third level would not be its limit. However, even at this third level, his soul defense was as stable as a mountain. The opponent's mental attack had no effect on him whatsoever.

Rumbling sounds echoed as buildings by the roadside were swept by the three attacks and finally collapsed under the strain, filling the air with dust and obscuring vision.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Accompanied by the sound of breaking air, the thuds of several heavy objects hitting the ground reached Ronald's ears again, allowing him to regain some control over his body. The sounds came from the direction of his teammates. A chill ran down his spine, and he turned to flee.

Then he froze in place because Bai Yue was already behind him.

"Your strength is good. I'll ask you a few questions. If your answers satisfy me, I won't kill you. Where are the strongest people here?"

"Are you serious?" Ronald asked.

"Serious. I have no reason to lie to you!"

"Alright, then I'll tell you. The strongest person in our west district is currently 'Lightning Sword' Aiton. He has already killed several other strong individuals with similar titles! Some people who escaped said he seems to have comprehended law!"

"Oh, anything else?" Encountering a beginner in law had piqued his interest.

"Yes, yes! In the north of the city, there seems to be a very powerful Mental Master controller. He fought Aiton once, and neither of them could defeat the other! I don't know anything else!" After speaking, Ronald watched Bai Yue warily.

Sensing his wariness, Bai Yue waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly. As for killing him, unless he deliberately lied, Bai Yue would not go back on his word since he had promised not to kill him.

Seeing the wave of Bai Yue's hand, Ronald, who had been waiting for this moment, vanished in an instant.

Following the direction indicated by the intelligence he had obtained, he began to do what he had done in the previous city. His Mental Power extended outwards, searching for hidden participants in the surroundings. While searching for those experts, he wouldn't be idle.

At this moment, if someone were to look down from high above, they would see that on the eastern side of the city, it was as if a bulldozer had arrived, advancing towards the city center in a straight line.

This was because Bai Yue was constantly killing participants along the way, and the participants, like birds nesting in a forest, scattered and fled when startled by a hunter.

During this process, some naturally resisted. Although they caused him no harm, they wreaked havoc on the surrounding buildings.

Soon, a day and a night passed. Bai Yue, having advanced a considerable distance, felt a sense of fatigue even in the virtual universe. As he was resting in an intact hotel room, The rumbling sound from the distant sky caught his attention. He walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window, and with his astonishing eyesight, he immediately spotted a dark-skinned giant on the roof of a building a few hundred meters ahead. The giant was burly, standing three meters tall, and carried a greatsword almost as tall as himself. The sound from the sky was the sonic boom left behind as he flew over!

"Heavenly Emperor! Come out and fight!"
