Let the Immortal God Come

Three hundred years later.

Wu Yun deliberately controlled his cultivation progress, keeping himself at the fourth stage of the World Lord level. Over these years, relying on this level of strength, he had carved out a formidable reputation in the Giant Axe Arena.

As for his surface-level rank, reaching the peak of the World Lord level within a thousand years would be sufficient.

"It seems no one dares to accept my death matches anymore." Wu Yun refined the cosmic starlight, a faint mark of the Law of Water appearing between his brows; he had clearly already gained the recognition of the law.

During these years of cultivation, Wu Yun focused his primary energy on enlightenment, while relying entirely on the resources provided by the Immortal Temple to study secret techniques and the like.

However, the resources of the Blood Luo Continent were too scarce. Ba Qi was hailed as the most heaven-defying genius in hundreds of millions of years, yet he was still far inferior to a World Lord from the Original Secret Realm.

In nearly a hundred World Lord-level death matches, Wu Yun had grown stronger each time. That terrifying talent had caused the bigwigs of the Giant Axe Arena and the Ganwu Branch to take notice.

The Giant Axe Arena stationed at the Ganwu Branch had only one Marquis-Level Immortal.

In the human universe kingdoms, the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena each controlled 504 sectors, while the Ganwu Universe Kingdom was managed by the Virtual Universe Company, which was why there were three major giants.

The branch head of the Giant Axe Arena was already preparing to give Wu Yun an assessment opportunity; if he passed, he could be absorbed into the core layer.

The reason a World Lord-level Giant Axe Warrior was a legend was largely because any powerhouse capable of reaching that stage would be recruited into the core layer for cultivation in advance.

"Beep, beep~"

Hearing the notification sound, Wu Yun immediately diverted part of his consciousness into the virtual universe to check his mail. He had assumed it was information regarding a death match, but to his surprise, the sender was Marquis Nanque.

Marquis Nanque, the branch head of the Giant Axe Arena, was a peak Marquis-Level Immortal God.

The content of the email was simple—

"You do not need to conduct any more death matches. I will apply for an assessment opportunity for you. If you pass, you will be absorbed into the core layer."

Wu Yun immediately replied with an affirmative. He had originally planned not to expose his full strength directly, giving everyone the impression of gradual improvement.

Doing things with a bit of secrecy would save a lot of trouble. Besides, time was cheap; what did a delay of a thousand or ten thousand years matter?

Even Marquis Nanque believed that Wu Yun was constantly improving through combat.

With his years of campaigning, his Reputation Points were already sufficient. Wu Yun could initiate a simulation at any time, but he planned to wait until he became an Immortal, otherwise, it would highly likely affect his plans.

The randomness of achieving goals was very high, and even the lowest outcome could be an Immortal. The World Lord stage was simply too important to miss.

Blood Luo Continent.

Wu Yun fused with another Blood Luo Crystal. Feeling the surge of power within his body, he was very pleased; this was the most important treasure of the entire Blood Luo Continent.

With a sufficient quantity of Blood Luo Crystals, one could refine the Beast God Blood.

"Finally, I've been noticed by the Giant Axe Arena?" The Blood Luo Wu Yun licked his lips. Since he and his original body were at the same realm, he also deliberately controlled his enlightenment progress.

Under normal circumstances, the moment their memories merged and the thinking speed of the Blood Luo clone increased, he could have quickly gained the recognition of the origin laws, but he had suppressed it for so long.

This had also led to a lower talent rating in the Immortal Temple.

The faster one cultivated, the higher the rating, and the more resources one obtained—this was an eternal truth everywhere.

Click, click, click~

Wu Yun stepped out of his cultivation chamber. He lived inside the Immortal Temple year-round. Still in the training phase, he had to stay here to meditate and could not yet oversee a region.

Unlike the World Lords in the World City, World Lords like Wu Yun who emerged from the Immortal Temple could rule over a large number of World City Lords.

If one could reach the strength of Ba Qi, their status would be comparable to an ordinary Immortal God.

Ba Qi was described as being able to become an Immortal at any time, yet his strength was inferior to the Desolate Beast Qi Niu, and he had less than a ten percent chance of surviving an attack from a Star Annihilation Cannon.

As the most talented World Lord of the Blood Luo Continent in hundreds of millions of years, his strength was merely equivalent to a World Lord General, while the other World Lords who oversaw various regions only possessed the strength of elite warriors.

"Is there something you need?" An Immortal with pitch-black skin slowly raised his head to look at Wu Yun. He was the teacher responsible for instructing this group of junior World Lords.

"Lord Yu Hong, my strength is sufficient, and I can oversee a region," Wu Yun said.

Overseeing a region was secondary to the resources one could obtain.

This place was extremely isolated and did not border the rest of the universe. The Immortal Gods were absolutely united, and resources were firmly controlled by the higher-ups; who got what was entirely up to them.

Even someone like Ba Qi, hailed as the number one World Lord in hundreds of millions of years, would have his resources crushed by a World Lord from the Primordial Secret Realm.

The Universe Venerables considered the long term; the resources of the Blood Luo Continent were limited and had to be managed sustainably.

What Wu Yun cared about was the Blood Luo Crystal, the true treasure of the Blood Luo Continent.

"Oversee a region?" Yu Hong's gaze was like a sharp blade, scanning Wu Yun up and down. According to the requirements of the Immortal Temple, gaining the recognition of the origin laws was only the basic requirement.

Normally, one needed the strength of a strong World Lord elite.

Wu Yun nodded and said, "Please have an Immortal God come to test me."

Normally, to oversee a region, one needed to pass the temple assessment. Having the law comprehension of the eighth or ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge was generally enough to pass.

However, the highest difficulty required one to be comparable to an ordinary Immortal. Throughout the infinitely long history of the Blood Luo Continent, such geniuses were extremely rare, hard to find in hundreds of millions of years.

The status of such a genius would far exceed that of an ordinary Immortal God.

Wu Yun no longer needed to hide his clumsiness. He had to reveal all his talent as soon as possible to strive for enough resources in this world.

Yu Hong felt it was unbelievable.

"An Immortal God test?" Yu Hong muttered. "Do you even know what you're saying? To rival an Immortal God while still at the World Rank is incredibly difficult."

During the ancient wars, Yu Hong was already a World Lord. He had lived for an extremely long time, yet he had only ever heard of someone at the World Rank rivaling an Immortal in legends.

"Take one finger from me; if you can withstand it, you pass." Yu Hong slowly extended a finger. A golden light shimmered, then completely retracted to the extreme.

As a Marquis-Level Immortal, although Yu Hong had not reached the level of a Black Warrior, he had fused with several Blood Luo Crystals. Endless baleful aura emerged, and his finger felt as terrifying as a star, rolling forward with immense pressure.

If not for Yu Hong controlling and containing his power, this single finger could have reduced a million kilometers to dust; even a star would have shattered before him.

The finger moved very slowly, releasing an endless assault of will.

Wu Yun picked up a long staff. This was a weapon native to the Blood Luo Continent, its material and quality comparable to a Tier 5 Force Weapon. He poured the vast power of a ninth-stage World Lord into it.

Beyond that, Wu Yun possessed a superb level of technique, which also provided a certain amplification effect to his power; otherwise, his current level of insight would still be lacking.

By pouring out all his strength into a single strike, Wu Yun could briefly rival the most ordinary Immortal God.

"Is that Wu Yun? How does he dare to let Lord Yu Hong test him?"

"This makes no sense. If Lord Yu Hong is testing him, could he be one of those monsters from legend capable of rivaling an Immortal God?"

This floor was inhabited by World Lords, and at this moment, they were all stirred, standing in the corridor and peeking in disbelief.

The long staff slammed into the fingertip, but instead of being swept away as imagined, it actually halted the unstoppable finger.

The two sides remained deadlocked for several seconds. Seeing that Wu Yun was about to reach his limit, Yu Hong withdrew his finger.

"Stop." Yu Hong smiled brilliantly. His attack was at the level of an ordinary Immortal, and the fact that Wu Yun could fight to a draw explained everything.
