The bloody slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Star Level and even Universe Level fighters was probably something rarely seen anywhere other than the Dutu Star Sector, which stood independent of the Universe Countries.
By the time the slaughter reached this point, aside from those who had died and those adventurers who had been frightened into fleeing the island,
only a few thousand people remained in the sky above the Pyramid Mountain Range. Most were first-tier Universe Level experts who had just broken through under the pressure.
Jiang Luo soon found it impossible to stay hidden.
The Obsidian Company and the other top powers seemed to have reached an unspoken agreement and began eliminating adventurers from lesser factions.
Surrounded by seven or eight first-tier Universe Level experts, Jiang Luo had no choice but to use King Kai Fist at fifteen times his strength to dodge at speeds far beyond the Star Level.
That immediately attracted the attention of the various factions.
"A Universe Level expert?!"
"Join forces and kill him!"
Dozens of first-tier Universe Level experts attacked Jiang Luo at once.
Clang—
The ringing of swords suddenly echoed through the air.
Jiang Luo stopped concealing his Thirteen Sword Fiend Body, and powerful energy surged outward.
Thirteen sword auras shot from his body, piercing the bodies of several first-tier Universe Level experts on the spot.
The other sword auras were blocked by armor and battle suits.
Even those who managed to block the sword auras with their armor were sent flying.
Jiang Luo looked a little regretful. These experts from the major powers were all loaded.
Their Law Comprehension and Domains might be far inferior to his, but the armor, battle suits, Origin Force weapons, and mind weapons they carried were all extraordinary.
They really weren't easy to kill.
That was why he had kept his strength hidden. If he had to kill the slave army of over a hundred thousand Star Level fighters and Universe Level experts who had broken through in the midst of battle one by one, he would have exhausted himself to death.
Besides, he would have a hard time resisting if he was targeted by a large number of Soul Attacks.
Now that Jiang Luo had revealed his strength, he wasted no more time. Empowered by King Kai Fist at fifteen times his strength, he darted like lightning into the Universe Level slaves.
The Thirteen Sword Phantoms were like a meat grinder, wantonly slaughtering one Universe Level expert after another.
"My god, what kind of monster is he?!"
"He's no ordinary Universe Level expert!"
"Join forces against him!"
"Spiritual Force users, hurry up and use Soul Attacks!!"
The Thirteen Sword Phantoms alternately scattered and joined together, appearing and vanishing unpredictably.
As Jiang Luo charged into the crowd, he was like a fierce wolf plunging into a flock of sheep.
If most of these Universe Level experts hadn't been slaves, they would have already fled in terror.
Just as Jiang Luo was in the midst of his slaughter, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot toward him.
A sword aura deflected it at the very last moment.
Jiang Luo looked impassively at the figure transformed into lightning—Blood Demon Thanses!
The strongest Star Level genius of the current Gulun Universe Country!
Although he seemed to be killing indiscriminately, half his attention was actually focused on guarding against Thanses.
Even though his opponent was only a ninth-tier Star Level fighter.
Thanses had already passed the fifth Trial Tower. Even among the Star Level geniuses of the 1008 Universe Kingdoms, that result would rank him in the top ten or twenty.
An ordinary first-tier Universe Level expert was no match for him.
"You're not Jiang Luo?" Thanses's gaze was icy.
While dodging the attacks of the other Universe Level experts, Jiang Luo rasped, "Who's Jiang Luo?"
He wasn't afraid of his identity being exposed.
For one thing, the profound mysteries of the seventh level of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map had changed his figure, height, and build considerably.
Besides, the strength he had revealed was far beyond what a Star Level fighter could achieve—unless they were a freak like Bolan.
And the techniques of the Thirteen Sword Phantoms were completely different from the Rainwater Sutra swordplay he had displayed in the Virtual Universe.
To anyone who didn't know better, the Thirteen Sword Phantoms looked like a mind weapon.
A frenzied killing intent shone in Thanses's eyes. "I don't care who you are. You won't stop me!"
He transformed into lightning once more and circled Jiang Luo, streaks of bloody saber light shooting out of the lightning from time to time.
Beneath his mask, Jiang Luo's gaze remained calm. The Thirteen Sword Phantoms unleashed their full power, and with the boost from King Kai Fist at fifteen times his strength, even Thanses couldn't match his movement speed.
While easily fending off Thanses, he slaughtered the other Universe Level experts, still appearing relaxed and unhurried.
The Star Level adventurers watching from the island's outskirts gaped in astonishment.
As time passed, one first-tier Universe Level expert after another fell to Jiang Luo's swords. Even the remaining experts, who were mostly slaves controlled by the major powers, couldn't suppress their fear.
Suddenly, a beam of light flashed!
Jiang Luo's body froze. He looked down at the gaping hole in his chest!
A Laser Gun!
Someone had used a D-grade Laser Gun!
The Universe Level slave who had fired the D-grade Laser Gun at Jiang Luo was immediately killed by Morena.
"Die!"
Blood Demon Thanses, transformed into lightning, wore a cruel smile. But soon, his smile abruptly froze.
The hole in Jiang Luo's chest was healing at an incredible speed.
Not only Thanses and the others, but even Morena, the intelligent life standing atop the Pyramid Mountain Range, couldn't help showing her astonishment.
Even a D1-grade Laser Gun couldn't kill him?!
"Damn it!!! The treasure is mine! No one's taking it from me!!"
After his shock, the madness in Thanses's eyes only grew. The dense cosmic energy in the air suddenly began to stir.
Jiang Luo's expression changed.
Had Thanses gone mad?!
He was going to break through to the Universe Level!
Once he broke through to the Universe Level, entering the Giant Axe Arena wouldn't be so easy anymore!
If he failed to rank among the top thousand in the 1008 Universe Countries in the Strong Ones Battle a dozen years from now, he would have to wait another thousand years for the Giant Axe Arena to send people to the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall to select and recruit Universe Level geniuses.
Killing intent flashed in Jiang Luo's eyes. The Thirteen Sword Phantoms merged into one, and he darted forward, intent on killing Thanses before he could break through.
But he was immediately held back by the desperate attacks of the other Universe Level slaves.
He didn't dare casually withstand the Soul Attacks of hundreds of first-tier Universe Level experts, even with the Nuwa Map guarding his mind.
Jiang Luo sneered and simply began slaughtering the Universe Level slaves.
The fighting spirit in his heart had already surged.
Until now, he had been busy "building up his forces." He had rarely fought anyone, not just in the real world but even in the Virtual Universe Network.
Now, at last, he had a worthy opponent who could test his real-world strength. How could he not be excited?
"Thanses, I hope you don't disappoint me..."
By the time Thanses had completely broken through to the first tier of the Universe Level, Jiang Luo had slaughtered all but a few hundred of the Universe Level slaves.
"Hahaha!" Thanses's figure abruptly vanished amid a sinister laugh.
The next moment, dozens of crimson bolts of lightning suddenly appeared around Jiang Luo.
Each crimson bolt of lightning was a Thanses.
Phantom Bodies? Jiang Luo was startled. It seems to be a movement technique combining the Lightning Law and the Time Law...
For a moment, dozens of Phantom Bodies surrounded and attacked Jiang Luo. Caught off guard, he was thrown into disarray!
He was even forced onto the defensive!
No wonder he's an unparalleled genius who made it to the sixth Trial Tower, Jiang Luo praised inwardly. Thanses's comprehension of the Time Law is truly impressive.
In terms of strength, he far surpassed his opponent.
But when it came to Law Comprehension, he was far behind Thanses.
After all, Thanses had been in the Ancient Wheel Hall for hundreds of years. Though Jiang Luo possessed many wondrous divine abilities and secret techniques and could contemplate the Nuwa Map, he had been cultivating for far too little time.
Besides, he had devoted most of his energy to spreading faith and building up his forces, leaving far too little time for comprehending the Laws.
But someone at Thanses's level... still had a long way to go!
"Got you!"
Jiang Luo smiled. At the cost of having his body cut in half by a flash of saber light, he found Thanses's true body. The Thirteen Sword Phantoms merged into one and stabbed fiercely into his body.
Thanses crashed into the ground like a cannonball.
But the next instant, he charged back out as if nothing had happened.
His purple robes had been completely shredded, revealing the Black Scale Armor beneath.
Jiang Luo, who had casually killed a Universe Level slave, was startled. "Gulun Armor?"
The Gulun Armor was standard-issue battle armor made by the Gulun Universe Country for its elite World Lord legions.
It could reduce the impact of physical attacks below the World Lord Level to one ten-thousandth, and even attacks from ordinary World Lords to one percent.
Even the geniuses of the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall had to spend a thousand Hunyuan Units to buy one.
As for outsiders, even money couldn't easily buy it.
But then he remembered that Thanses had already passed the fifth Trial Tower and had a fortune of several thousand Hunyuan Units. He was no worse off than some Immortal Gods, so he could indeed afford a Gulun Armor.
"Everyone's so rich..." Jiang Luo couldn't help sighing.
Even as Star Level fighters, these unparalleled geniuses were hard to deal with, each having more trump cards than the last.
It was fair to say that below the Domain Lord Level, pure physical attacks couldn't harm Thanses.
Of course, Thanses couldn't harm him either.
Jiang Luo watched Thanses use dozens of Phantom Bodies to surround him again and let his head be cut off by a single slash.
The severed head spoke calmly. "I wonder whether your Soul Defense is as strong as your physical defense."
At his words, Thanses's expression changed. Suddenly, his consciousness seemed to be pulled into an illusion.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation!"
As Jiang Luo's body rapidly grew back beneath the head, his gaze remained calm, suffused with compassion.
The Hell Realm, Hungry Ghost Realm, Beast Realm, Asura Realm, Heaven Realm, and Human Realm formed a world of reincarnation that projected into the depths of Thanses's consciousness.
In the blink of an eye, his dozens of Phantom Bodies vanished completely.
"Break for me!!" Thanses snarled with a savage grin, breaking free of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
"How could my Blood Demon Planet lineage not cultivate a Soul Defense Secret Technique?"
Before Thanses could launch another attack, a Demon Awl that Jiang Luo had prepared in his soul shot into Thanses's sea of consciousness.
Demon Awl Forbidden Technique!
A supreme Inheritance Secret Technique from Origin Mountain in the Cangyuan Map world, an Essence Soul secret technique even more precious than the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body!
That single Demon Awl consumed a full thirty percent of his Spiritual Force.
Powerful and unstoppable, the Demon Awl almost instantly destroyed Thanses's Soul Defense Secret Technique.
Thanses let out a cry of agony.
Jiang Luo's soul shuddered as well. Fine cracks appeared on the Demon Awl when it returned to his sea of consciousness.
That showed just how powerful Thanses's Soul Defense was.
"Treasured Wheel of Heaven Dance!"
Jiang Luo formed a seal with his right hand and pointed it at Thanses, while his left hand flicked out the Thirteen Sword Phantoms to block the attacks of the first-tier Universe Level slaves.
Taking advantage of Thanses's wounded soul and the brief loss of his five senses, Jiang Luo threw a punch that seemed slow but was actually fast!
"Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist!"
Thanses, who had struggled to break free of the Treasured Wheel of Heaven Dance's mental seal, endured the tearing pain in his soul and roared, "Hahaha! You still don't understand. With the Gulun Armor on me, physical attacks below the Domain Lord Level are useless—"
His roar cut off abruptly.
Thanses, who had brushed past Jiang Luo, suddenly froze. His eyes went blank, as if he had fallen into some memory.
Jiang Luo paid no further attention to Thanses, who had lost the ability to move. His cold gaze fell on the more than a hundred Universe Level slaves whose faces were filled with despair.
