Along with this transmission of source power came a massive golden spearhead.

This gargantuan golden spear radiance slammed horizontally into the protective shield constructed by the God-Slaying Group, yet it did not emit a single sound.

It was as if everything had entered slow motion; the moment the massive spear body made contact with the white shield, everything came to a standstill.

Suddenly, as if everything had returned to its proper course, the white shield shattered and vanished in the blink of an eye, along with the nearly one thousand members of the God-Slaying Group.

They were like a broken mirror, pulverized under the peerless attack, much like frost under a scorching sun.

Looking at the giant crater before him, Huang Wuye nodded with satisfaction. During this period, he had continuously honed his spear techniques and had finally managed to initially integrate the Law of Gold into his Spear Canon.

With this, the Spear Canon now possessed a sixth secret technique: Great Annihilation.

Great Annihilation was created by Huang Wuye based on the penetration and sharpness of the Origin Law of Gold. It consisted of eighty-one forms, primarily focusing on thrusting, whipping, and stabbing.

This complemented the long spear perfectly. Upon its inception, this secret technique had already ascended to the pinnacle of ordinary secret techniques, thanks to Huang Wuye's profound insights into the Origin Law of Gold, falling only slightly short of his other five major techniques.

"Alright, for the short term, this should suffice. Now, it is time to secure first place in the qualifiers."

Huang Wuye withdrew his thoughts, intending to claim the top spot in the Eighty-Third World Zone first.

He had no intention of participating in the arena battles; after all, his current strength was already formidable enough that he did not need to hone himself through such matches.

It was already difficult for him to make rapid progress; he would have to rely on the slow, grinding work of gradually comprehending the laws.

Unless there were unexpected opportunities, such as the aid provided by the Initial Universe and Chaos City, a major breakthrough in the short term would be quite difficult.

These past few days, due to his focus on honing his spear techniques, his points had fallen behind quite a bit. Although groups would occasionally come to "deliver" points, others had still managed to surpass him.

With that thought, Huang Wuye summoned his points panel.

Participant: Huang Wuye (Meteor Universe Kingdom)

Points: 8,304,766

Ranking: 4

The points were not insignificant. Since one gains half of the target's points upon every kill, his total remained high despite the fact that he had not killed a massive number of people.

Those he sought out—and those who sought him out—naturally carried a substantial amount of points on them.

However, some had still managed to surpass him through frenzied hunting. It seemed the three individuals ranked ahead of him possessed considerable strength.

But then again, there was still over a month left, and as time passed, the terrain had shrunk significantly, making it much easier to track people down now.

Huang Wuye swept his gaze across the area and spotted some onlookers.

These were geniuses who had intended to pick up scraps, never expecting that the famous God-Slaying Group would be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

The look of shock had yet to fade from their faces. Seeing this, the corner of Huang Wuye's mouth curled into an arc.

"Close as the Horizon."

With a loud shout, he swept his long spear, and all the figures he had spotted were swept up in the wake.

Hundreds of figures appeared to be moving in reverse, flying backward toward Huang Wuye, their faces filled with terror.

Watching the figures being dragged together, they struggled incessantly.

However, their struggles did not last long. Accompanied by a surge of rising flames, they all transformed into fireflies upon the snowy plains.

"Prairie Fire: Barren Earth."

As this voice rang out, hundreds of torches ignited in the air, raising the temperature of the void for dozens of miles.

Huang Wuye's figure had long since vanished; a true man never looks back at an explosion.

From within these torches, a few faint sounds could be heard. If one listened carefully, they were all the same two words.

"Monster."

Following Huang Wuye's actions, torches would rise from time to time throughout this vast world of ice and snow.

Huang Wuye's points began to rise at a leaping pace, and before long, he reached third place—and this was only the beginning.

As the person in charge of the Meteor Sacred Land for the Meteor Universe Kingdom, Marquis Fire Spirit was naturally monitoring these qualifiers.

There were not many who truly deserved his attention, only the little ones from his own sacred land who were ranked in the top ten.

Of course, with the arrival of Huang Wuye and the others, a few more had been added to that list.

After all, even as a Marquis-level immortal spirit, he dared not underestimate a genius from Desolate God Mountain.

Although few from Desolate God Mountain participated in the selections held by the Virtual Universe Company and other powers, in his long life, there had always been a few such cases.

There were always those young beasts who would leave the nest to venture out on their own.

In his memory, the last person who had left him feeling truly astonished was named Huang Tian.

Although he had not yet become an immortal at that time, he had not possessed the slightest confidence that he could defeat that person.

It had to be said that sometimes the gap between people could truly be compared to the distance between heaven and earth.

It was not just about influence and resources; sometimes, talent and opportunity were the most important factors that made one unreachable.

And this time, Huang Wuye, as the son of Huang Tian, would undoubtedly not disappoint him.

As he had expected, he had been keeping an eye on this little one from the very beginning.

The facts proved his guess correct—no, it should be said that this far exceeded his expectations.

As time progressed, he realized this was a monster whose talent surpassed even Huang Tian.

From the very beginning, Huang Wuye had shattered his worldview with that secret technique of instantaneous movement and his formidable Laws of Fire Origin.

Although he had not experienced it personally, with his immense strength and insight, he knew this little fellow's comprehension of origin laws likely surpassed ninety-nine percent of all World Lords.

The remaining ones were all beings capable of breaking through to Immortality at any moment, and if he wasn't mistaken, this little fellow wasn't even a hundred years old yet!

Next, Marquis Fire Spirit focused his entire attention on this little guy; compared to Huang Wuye, other geniuses were not even worth mentioning.

Even the two Highnesses who had arrived together, while their talents were indeed strong, were still more than a grade behind.

And when Huang Wuye revealed his Laws of Metal Origin, Marquis Fire Spirit was shocked once again.

This comprehension of the Laws of Metal, only a notch below his Laws of Fire, blew his mind.

At that moment, he even wondered if Huang Wuye was the biological son of the Primal Universe's will.

Even the legendary peak human geniuses who appeared once every ten million epochs and comprehended laws as easily as drinking water probably couldn't compare to this!

He had to admit that jealousy almost made him lose his reason, but fortunately, his powerful will and the dignity of the Meteor Kingdom Lord allowed him to calm his mind.

Following that, he used his authority to set viewing restrictions on Huang Wuye's combat livestream; to prevent Huang Wuye's information from being exposed, he took decisive action.

He still possessed the authority to do so for the Meteor Universe Kingdom's selection. Upon realizing this, he understood that this was an opportunity for their faction, and he did not forget to send this information to the Meteor Kingdom Lord.

After all, he was already tied to the Meteor Universe Kingdom, and Huang Wuye was naturally tied to the Meteor Universe Kingdom from birth.

If he remembered correctly, members of the Primal Region of the Virtual Universe Company could be equipped with an Immortal-level guard commander; it seemed he would have to plan accordingly.

Withdrawing his wandering thoughts, Marquis Fire Spirit cast his gaze back onto Huang Wuye. Watching him integrate his comprehension of the Laws of Metal into his spear techniques within a few months, he felt as if this were normal.

Fine, this was not normal at all! If law comprehension was the cornerstone for becoming an Immortal or other powerful beings, then the comprehension of secret techniques was the true key to becoming a powerhouse; after all, mastering laws was one thing, but how much of that comprehension one could actually utilize was another.

Huang Wuye naturally did not know that someone was observing him, and even if he did, he wouldn't care; he now possessed the initial strength to protect himself.

He was currently putting his all into earning points, and as time passed, he had once again climbed to first place.

This preliminary competition was also nearing its end.
