Battle and Ye Wuhen

"These two have decent strength, around the seventh rank of the Star Level with a seventh-tier domain. It's just a pity their cultivation realm is a bit low. Their ranking should be around ten thousandth place. After all, our clan doesn't have the tradition of using the Virtual Universe's standard bodies; we fight using our own physical forms. Otherwise, they could have made it into the top ten thousand."

Huang Hu remarked after watching the battle.

"They are indeed passable. You must know that cultivation realms are roughly divided into Foundation—Conception—Domain—World, and beyond that, there are the Immortal powerhouses.

Each layer is divided very meticulously. A domain, for instance, is split into nine tiers! Many Universe Level and Domain Lord powerhouses struggle bitterly within the nine tiers of a domain.

Every step up in realm is incredibly difficult. Crossing from the ninth rank of the Planetary Level to the Star Level is no less difficult than rising from the first rank to the ninth within the Planetary Level itself! Not to mention the even greater difficulty of mastering a domain.

And those at the Star Level who grasp a domain are already considered geniuses. After all, these are top-tier talents from numerous star sectors; they are naturally not weak. But compared to us, they are still lacking." Huang Xue parted her red lips to add.

Huang Wuye shook his head and smiled upon hearing this. Huang Hu and Huang Xue had both entered the Star Level last year, and with the help of the clan's abundant resources over the past year, they had long since reached the ninth rank of the Star Level.

Their innate secret techniques were also extraordinary; Huang Xue's innate secret technique provided bonuses to combat and affinity with the Laws, while Huang Hu's leaned toward his own comprehension and willpower.

Their own gene multipliers had reached five times the norm, ensuring their base talent was not lacking. Thus, both of them possessed formidable strength.

Huang Xue herself was at the ninth rank of the Star Level with a ninth-tier Water Domain. She had even grasped the rudiments of the Laws of Water, making her a genius among geniuses even in the outside world.

Huang Hu's realm was also at the ninth rank of the Star Level. He had a ninth-tier Metal Domain, though his comprehension of the Laws was slightly lacking—still a step away from truly grasping them. However, his understanding of secret techniques was deeper, and his application of his domain was more skillful and fluid. Therefore, his combat power was not inferior.

"Since you two have already participated in the ranking battles, hurry and tell me the rules of this combat space."

Having finished watching a duel, Huang Wuye felt his fighting spirit surging and couldn't help but ask the two.

"Generally, for a newcomer like you, the combat space will arrange ten opponents with a wide range of strength to determine your rough ranking.

After that, if you wish to challenge others, you can only challenge opponents within the top one hundred. Under normal circumstances, you cannot refuse if you are online."

Huang Xue curled her lips and said with a smile.

"That's right. With your strength, Uncle, ranking in the top one thousand should be quite easy. However, since you are only at the first rank of the Star Level, getting into the top ten is basically impossible." Huang Hu drank a cup of wine before explaining.

Huang Wuye nodded slightly; indeed, based on his current strength, that was about right. He didn't dwell on it further and turned to the small golden-haired monkey on his shoulder.

"Then let me witness the strength of these many geniuses! Dasheng, arrange a match for me."

"Understood, Boss." The golden-haired Dasheng replied and immediately began making arrangements for Huang Wuye.

"Boss, it's all set, but you'll have to wait a moment; the combat space is preparing an opponent for you."

Huang Wuye nodded slightly and resumed chatting with Huang Xue and the other.

Not long after, Huang Wuye finally welcomed his first opponent.

It was an ape-man about seven or eight meters tall, his muscles slightly bulging like millennium-old granite. His golden fur stood slightly on end. He wore a set of heavy black armor and held a giant staff.

"Yuan Shan of the Golden Ape Clan from the Yuanxing Star Sector, a seventh-rank Star Level martial artist. Ranked one hundred thousand and eightieth." He said with a serious expression, cupping his hands toward Huang Wuye.

"Huang Wuye of the Desolate God Clan, a first-rank Star Level martial artist." Huang Wuye replied calmly.

After exchanging names, the two entered a combat state.

The two were in the middle of an endless starry sky, floating opposite each other. Their momentum was held in check, waiting to be unleashed.

Suddenly, Huang Wuye moved, disappearing in the blink of an eye. In an instant, he crossed tens of thousands of meters, appearing behind Yuan Shan before the latter realized it. He flicked his spear, a flash of red light igniting at the tip, and struck directly toward Yuan Shan's head.

Yuan Shan seemed to sense something and was just about to turn around when he felt his body struggle to move. A buzzing sound echoed, a sharp pain struck his head, and he lost consciousness in an instant. It turned out that Huang Wuye's spear was too fast; he had shifted behind Yuan Shan and ended the battle with a single strike.

Huang Wuye had expected this; the gap in strength between them was too great. He then waited for his next opponent.

Second opponent, Man Tu of the Wuman Clan, eighth-rank Star Level, third-tier domain, ranked seventy-three thousandth, defeated!

Third opponent, Wu Ji of the Black Water Clan, eighth-rank Star Level, fifth-tier domain, ranked forty-two thousandth, defeated.

The fourth opponent was an acquaintance—none other than Alona of the Xiluo Clan, who had just defeated Moke. Seventh-rank Star Level, seventh-tier domain, ranked ten thousand and eightieth.

Alona's strength was decent, but compared to Huang Wuye, she was slightly lacking. More powerful secret techniques, a higher-tier domain, and even more heaven-defying Laws gave Huang Wuye the absolute advantage when facing Alona.

Alona's attacks could not hit the agile Huang Wuye at all. After wandering through a rain of swords for a while, Huang Wuye took Alona down with three strikes.

Fifth opponent, Lan Linger of the Water Spirit Clan. Ninth-rank Star Level, seventh-tier domain, ranked nine thousand six hundredth, defeated!

Huang Wuye advanced like a hot knife through butter, defeating numerous opponents with his dancing spear. In the blink of an eye, he stood before his tenth opponent. Huang Wuye's expression was solemn, his eyes narrowed.

Floating in the void before him was a man. He held a battle blade, his long blue hair fluttering. Although his face was ordinary, his eyes were full of confidence. He looked at Huang Wuye casually, a faint arc appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Ye Wuhen of the Blood Cloud Legion, Meteor Universe Kingdom, greets the Prince. The Prince is truly worthy of the Desolate God Clan, breaking into the top one hundred just after reaching the Star Level. However, your level is ultimately a bit too low. Let me witness your skills."

Huang Wuye became extremely vigilant; this man was indeed qualified to say such things. He could feel the powerful momentum radiating from the blue-haired man before him.

Outside the arena, Huang Hu and Huang Xue were also surprised to see Huang Wuye's opponent.

"How did Wuye run into Ye Wuhen? Ye Wuhen is a stable top-ten existence; logically, he shouldn't have crossed paths with Wuye. This is going to be difficult."

Huang Wuye was unaware of what the two were saying outside; he had no heart to think about other things right now. He understood that he had encountered a true genius. Feeling the immense pressure exerted by his opponent, he couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile. Very well, let him witness the style of a true genius. He tightened his grip on his spear, his fighting spirit burning hotter than ever before.
