Registration Deadline

"The final twenty-person one-on-one duels are actually being held in reality? That certainly fits the style of the Great Axe Arena," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

"However, the rules mention that they will ensure participants do not lose their lives during the duels? How thoughtful."

"It seems the Great Axe Arena actually places some value on the lives of the top twenty geniuses."

"I wonder what method the Great Axe Arena will use to ensure these geniuses don't die in the duels," Lin Yuan pondered.

Directly resurrecting a genius who dies in a duel? That is clearly unrealistic. Resurrection requires a Universe Master to step in personally, and the cost is ridiculously high; even resurrecting a Universe Level practitioner costs thousands of times more than cultivating a genius.

Intervening with a powerful expert at the moment of life and death? As long as it isn't the final moment, there would be suspense, which might affect fairness; the Great Axe Arena likely wouldn't choose to interfere in that manner.

"No point in overthinking it, I'll know when the time comes."

[Writing this, I hope readers remember our domain, Taiwan Novel Network, for a great experience, t̑̈̑̈w̑̈̑̈k̑̈̑̈̑̈ȃ̈̑̈n̑̈̑̈.c̑̈̑̈ȏ̈̑̈m̑̈̑̈, it's very thoughtful.]

Lin Yuan quickly finished reading the entire introduction to the Peak Warrior Tournament.

The Universe Kingdom Selection Tournament will screen for the top 1,000 strongest individuals from each major Universe Kingdom.

The first stage is the World Preliminary Elimination Tournament, which is the most brutal elimination round.

All geniuses from a Universe Kingdom who sign up are divided into 100 worlds. Only participants whose points rank in the top 1,001 in each world can advance to the next stage, while everyone else is eliminated.

With 1,001 people selected from each world, a total of 100,100 people are chosen across 100 worlds.

The first-place finisher of each world will directly secure a spot in the Universe Kingdom's top 1,000, while the remaining 100,000 participants must compete in a ring-based tournament to fight for the remaining 900 spots.

For geniuses like Lin Yuan, who rank among the top of the Holy Land's Universe Level, the Universe Kingdom Selection Tournament poses no difficulty.

It can be said that with their strength, as long as they aren't coincidentally assigned to the same world, they are essentially the first-place finisher in their respective worlds.

However, each world can have over ten million participants, and each world is vast; getting first place in points still requires some luck.

If one doesn't encounter enough people, or if some participants with sufficient points choose to hide in the later stages, then one's strength has nowhere to be applied.

Lin Yuan decided to sign up immediately.

Opening the registration interface, a string of numbers at the top was constantly refreshing, labeled "Number of Registrants for Nine Flames Universe Kingdom."

Lin Yuan looked, and the displayed number was 314,059,785; a few seconds later, it changed to 338,934,290.

"Over three hundred million people have already signed up," Lin Yuan mused.

The Nine Flames Universe Kingdom possesses over two hundred million star systems; all Universe Level cultivators combined total at least two to three billion.

Lin Yuan remembered that the Ganwu Universe Kingdom had around one billion Universe Level cultivators, so it seems the Nine Flames Universe Kingdom is larger in scale than the Ganwu Universe Kingdom.

Lin Yuan quickly filled in his personal information and clicked the "Register" button.

"Beep!"

"Scan complete, Universe Level 9 martial artist, registration approved."

In the Virtual Universe, within a quiet courtyard.

"Brian, your strength has improved once again. Our ancestor will be watching you participate in this tournament; do you have confidence?"

A man with long silver hair asked the young clansman before him; the aura radiating from this man had already reached the King level.

"Ancestor, this time I will give my all to bring honor to our race! My goal is nothing less than first place in the entire universe!" The silver-haired youth's gaze was firm. "In the future, I will definitely become a new pillar of our clan!"

"Good! A descendant of the Desolate God Race must have ambition! I hope that the next time I see you in reality, you will have become a powerhouse among the Immortals! Go."

The silver-haired youth respectfully exited the courtyard.

"Lin Yuan, I look forward to facing you in the tournament," the silver-haired youth said silently.

Nine Flames Universe Kingdom, Red Flame Planet.

Inside a massive manor.

"Ancestor, why have you come to see me?" The little fatty Cohen looked surprised to see Marquis Huanyu, who had arrived in person.

"The Peak Warrior Tournament is about to begin, and I couldn't rest easy without coming to give you a few words of advice myself," Marquis Huanyu said.

Among Marquis Huanyu's descendants, no Immortal powerhouse had ever been born, and it had been a very, very long time since a genius like Cohen had appeared.

Marquis Huanyu saw hope in Cohen, so he treated him as he would his own grandson.

He hoped that Cohen would eventually become an Immortal and take charge of the family; although he knew the probability was low, he still did his best to cultivate Cohen.

"Don't worry, Ancestor, I will give it my all," Cohen said earnestly.

"Remember, you must be cautious and careful; do not be careless, especially in the later Peak Finals, you..."

Marquis Huanyu gave Cohen many earnest words of advice.

Nanhu Universe Kingdom, inside a cave within a secret realm.

A Fox-kin Race woman with a fluffy tail was engaged in a fierce battle with thousands of ferocious beasts inside the cave. Her movements were agile, and she appeared to be handling the siege of thousands of beasts with ease.

As her consciousness stirred, a pure white telekinetic weapon whistled out, charging toward the beasts. The beasts seemed to freeze for an instant, a flash of pure white light streaked by, and all the beasts had their skulls pierced, falling one by one.

The Fox-kin woman retracted her telekinetic weapon and walked toward an Immortal standing not far away.

"Teacher." The Fox-kin woman bowed respectfully.

"Very good, Lena. You are the most talented disciple I have ever taken in." The Immortal smiled, nodding with satisfaction.

"Go participate in the Peak Warrior Tournament and join the Great Axe Arena. My abilities are limited; you will find teachers there better suited to guide you."

"Teacher, I will never let your cultivation go to waste!" The Fox-kin woman's eyes were filled with gratitude.

Time passed, and under the gaze of all humanity across the universe, registration for the Peak Warrior Tournament finally came to an end.

Because the participants in the Peak Warrior Tournament were stronger than those in the Peak Genius Tournament, it was even more spectacular to watch.

Many ordinary cultivators at the Planetary or Stellar levels might not have even seen a few Universe Level powerhouses in their entire lives.

For these people, every Peak Warrior Tournament was the best opportunity to witness the style of the strong, broaden their horizons, and gain knowledge. Every Peak Warrior Tournament was a carnival for the human race.

On this day, there was one month left until the official start of the Peak Warrior Tournament.

"Beep! Master, you have an email!" the Smart Optical Brain reminded him.

Lin Yuan checked it quickly.

"Welcome to the 'Humanity of the Universe — Peak Warrior Tournament'.

For this qualifying round, within the Nine Flames Universe Kingdom, over one billion Universe Level experts have signed up, which is one hundred million more than the previous session.

We guarantee that the entire Peak Warrior Tournament will be conducted under conditions of 'absolute fairness'.

In the Virtual Universe, the physical fitness and telekinetic levels of all participants will be maintained at Universe Level 9.

All participants may choose any Force weapons and telekinetic weapons of any grade, but no more than ten items in total. The chosen Force battle suit cannot exceed Tier 3.

The selection tests the participants' combat experience, willpower, domain, and comprehension of laws; everyone's external conditions are exactly the same.

For more information, please see the attachment."

"The Nine Flames Universe Kingdom actually has nearly half of its Universe Level cultivators participating in the Warrior Tournament? It really is lively!" Lin Yuan sighed inwardly.

"I've been assigned to the Sector 17 World." Looking at the information in the email, Lin Yuan thought to himself, "I hope my luck is good and I encounter plenty of participants."
