Chapter 108 Clash of Titans

Upon hearing Karsa's shout, the blue-robed youth paused slightly in his blue longsword, and withdrew the killing move he was about to unleash.

Then he looked in Karsa's direction and said with utter disdain, "What, are you going to beg for mercy?"

In his eyes, a true strong person should stand tall even in the face of death, rather than begging for survival, especially in Virtual Universe.

If Karsa were to beg for mercy, he would not only kill him without hesitation, but would also be even more disappointed.

Because he would feel that his opponents were spineless and didn't deserve to be called geniuses.

Of course not!

Karsa's voice was calm, and his gaze met the eyes of the young man in blue without the slightest hesitation or fear.

"I was defeated by you, so it's only right that I give you the points!"

Karsa quickly continued, "The reason I spoke up is to tell you that if you want to find a powerful opponent, you can go to Peak 06. However, that person is very strong, so you'd better accumulate enough points before going!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Karsa's words, a flicker of interest crossed the young man's face. He then asked with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation, "How does that person's strength compare to yours?"

"I couldn't even last one move against him!" Karsa said quickly, without the slightest exaggeration or concealment.

The person he was referring to was naturally Lu Qingshan, who had spared him back then.

It wasn't that he wanted to increase Lu Qingshan's opponents, but rather that Lu Qingshan had told him when they first met that if he encountered a formidable opponent, he could send that opponent to Peak 06.

Moreover, in Karsa's mind, Lu Qingshan was the most powerful Universe Level cultivator in the Heavenly Star Universe Country. He had absolute confidence in Lu Qingshan's strength and believed that Lu Qingshan would definitely be able to defeat this arrogant youth.

Even if the young man in blue really did defeat Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingshan's remaining points would be enough to break into the top 1,000 in this World Zone. Therefore, Karsa was not worried about the impact of his actions on Lu Qingshan.

"Interesting!" Upon hearing Karsa's words, the young man in blue immediately became interested.

Despite how easily he blocked Karsa's attack, he had already used about 80% of his strength.

If Karsa were stronger, winning wouldn't have been so easy for him.

Now, someone is able to kill his opponent in an instant with a single move, which is quite a challenge for him.

He had been searching for an opponent who could rival him, for that feeling of being evenly matched, and now he had finally found his target.

"Mount 06? I'll remember that!"

The young man in blue quickly slung his blue longsword back over his shoulder, his movements swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation. "You may leave!"

"This----"

After hearing the words of the young man in blue, Karsa was slightly taken aback, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face:

You're not going to kill me?

"Right!"

The young man in blue quickly smiled and said, "To thank you for introducing me to a good opponent!"

He hunts down powerful individuals, primarily to engage in combat with them, rather than to accumulate points.

That's why killing Karsa was a trivial matter to him.

Hearing the young man in blue's reply, Karsa was quite pleased.

However, his happiness wasn't because he had escaped with his life. After all, with his current points, even if he had perished, he would still have enough points left to break into the top 1,000 in this World Zone.

His happiness stemmed entirely from the fact that surviving meant he could face off against even more Universe Level geniuses.

By this time, more than ten days had passed since the elimination rounds began, and those who remained were the elite among Universe Level cultivators. Being able to fight against these people was a very good thing for him.

And so time passed by, and before we knew it, it was the last day of the qualifiers.

The 30-day qualifiers are coming to an end, and all the World Zone are shrouded in a tense and frenzied atmosphere.

The night had just ended, and a hazy light shone on the mountains, awakening the entire World Zone from darkness.

But for cultivators at the Universe Level, there is no difference between night and day.

Their perception and vision far surpass those of ordinary people; they can see everything clearly even in the dark. Light and darkness are simply two different environments to them.

The final day of the qualifiers was also the most frenzied day in all the World Zone.

With the preliminary rounds nearing their end, all participants will be giving it their all to advance. Many of the surviving participants will be fighting even more fiercely, either to break into the top 1,000 in their respective World Zone or to maintain their current position within the World Zone 1,000.

At this moment, every participant in the various World Zone seemed to have gone mad, attacking everyone around them without regard for anything else. All the World Zone were plunged into an unprecedented melee and slaughter.

However, the situation in the Sixth World Zone is somewhat different from that in other World Zone.

In this Sixth World Zone, although the fighting was still incredibly fierce, hundreds of figures were still flying towards the mountain numbered 06.

If anyone could recognize these figures, they would find that they were all rising stars in the Sixth World Zone, and even the lowest-ranked among them was among the top 300 in the World Zone.

The reason they were heading to Peak 06 was because several days earlier, a rumor had spread Sixth World Zone World Zone an invincible powerhouse nicknamed " Reaper " would challenge Lu Qingshan, currently ranked third in the World Zone, on Peak 06 on the last day of the preliminary rounds.

This news spread like wildfire throughout the Sixth World Zone, attracting everyone's attention and interest.

This contestant, nicknamed " Reaper," is an extremely terrifying powerhouse in this Sixth World Zone. In the past month, he has killed countless powerful individuals, including some super-powerful figures from the Heavenly Star Holy Land.

His name was known to everyone in the Sixth World Zone, and everyone was filled with awe and fear towards him.

He was like a true Reaper, bringing death wherever he went; no one could escape his sword.

Although Lu Qingshan is only ranked third in this World Zone, many people know that he is the number one Inner Universe the Heavenly Star Holy Land.

The reason he only ranked third was entirely because he didn't kill off other contestants to gain points.

Therefore, in the eyes of many contestants, Lu Qingshan is definitely the uncrowned king among all Universe Level cultivators in this World Zone, and even in the entire Heavenly Star Universe Country.

That's why the seemingly stronger " Reaper " took the initiative to challenge Lu Qingshan.

They hunted down powerful individuals everywhere, never failing to kill them;

One person remains firmly at the top, ready to face any challenge.

One of them is the number one Inner Universe the Heavenly Star Holy Land, representing the highest level within the Holy Land:

One of them is a super genius in an ordinary star field, the most dazzling among the geniuses outside the holy land.

It should be noted that within this World Zone, many geniuses from holy lands often band together to hunt down other powerful individuals, which naturally arouses hostility from geniuses from other non-holy lands.

Therefore, the battle between Lu Qingshan and " Reaper " was not only a matter of their own victory or defeat, but also represented, to some extent, the other geniuses of the Holy Land and those of non-Holy Land.

Between geniuses nurtured in the Holy Land and those not nurtured in the Holy Land, who is stronger?

This is a question that everyone cares about.

In the eyes of the Universe Level geniuses within the Holy Land, they received the most advanced training, and their strength was definitely superior to that of those geniuses outside the Holy Land;

In the eyes of those who are not geniuses from the Holy Land, the so-called geniuses from the Holy Land are nothing more than lucky people who enjoy superior resources. If they enjoyed the same resources, they would definitely far surpass the other party.

For this reason, on the last day of the qualifiers, many powerful figures from the Sixth World Zone began to head to the mountain peak numbered 06 to watch the battle.

They are all top-ranked geniuses in their respective World Zone, so naturally they don't need to fight as hard as those contestants ranked around 1,000 in their respective World Zone, in order to maintain their performance or to break into the top 1,000 in their respective World Zone.

What they want to do now is witness this ultimate showdown and see who is truly the strongest person in the Sixth World Zone.

When these geniuses arrived at peak number 06, they found Lu Qingshan, dressed in a dark red battle suit, quietly waiting on the mountain.

At this moment, he stood at the highest point of the mountain, like a silent statue, calmly looking at the many powerful figures who had arrived.

In fact, Lu Qingshan already knew that the rising Reaper in this World Zone was coming to challenge him, and he even learned about the Reaper's strength from Karsa, so he was very much looking forward to the upcoming battle.

"I wonder just how strong that Reaper is? Could he pose any threat to me?"

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar figures around him, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "I hope he doesn't disgrace his nickname!"

For Lu Qingshan, the nickname " Reaper " was quite special, since Bolan's nickname in the Genius Battle in the original work was "Reaper ".

Bolan's talent is incredibly powerful, even in the vast universe.

Although he is far inferior to Luo Feng in the original work, if we look at the results, his talent would rank among the top two thousand among all humans throughout Human Race and across an entire Reincarnation Era.

After all, when this Reincarnation Era ends, the Human Race will only have about a hundred of the Universe Strongest, and a total of more than 1,200 Universe Master, and Bolan is one of Universe Master!

Just as various thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind----

call!

The surrounding crowd felt a gentle breeze on their faces, and then a lean young man dressed in a blue battle suit and carrying a blue longsword appeared in front of Lu Qingshan.

His appearance was completely unexpected; it seemed as if he had always been there.

Of the hundreds of powerful figures watching the battle, no more than ten could actually detect its flight path.

"What an unbelievable speed!" someone exclaimed, their voice filled with shock and amazement.

"Yes, this Reaper's speed is truly bizarre. If I were to fight him, I probably wouldn't even be able to see how he makes his move!" another person echoed, their tone filled with deep amazement.

"Great! With this Reaper around, Lu Qingshan might really be killed by him!" A genius from a non-sacred land said excitedly, as if he could already see Lu Qingshan's defeat.

"This Reaper's speed is just too bizarre! What do you think Lu Qingshan's chances of winning are?" A genius from the Holy Land exchanged whispers with his companion.

After witnessing the incredibly fast speed of the young man in blue, the many Universe Level contestants who came to watch the battle immediately began to discuss it among themselves.

Prior to this, although they knew how terrifying the young man in blue was, most of the Universe Level Universe Level, whether from the Heavenly Star Holy Land or other star regions, felt that Lu Qingshan was stronger.

After all, Lu Qingshan's reputation and status are undeniable; his strength has been proven through countless battles and trials, and it's not just empty fame.

Even though those non-sacred land geniuses looked down on the saint land geniuses, they were well aware that Lu Qingshan's strength was not to be underestimated, as he was able to become the number one Inner Universe the Heavenly Star Holy Land.

Although they verbally disagreed, they still acknowledged in their hearts that Lu Qingshan was truly capable.

But now, the strange speed displayed by the young man in blue has given these non-sacred land geniuses great hope.

They seemed to see a glimmer of hope that a non-sacred land genius could defeat a sacred land genius, and they began to expect the young man in blue to create a miracle.

As for the geniuses from the holy lands, they were also somewhat worried about whether Lu Qingshan could successfully defeat this young man in blue.

After all, only by defeating this young man in blue could Lu Qingshan prove that the cultivators in this sacred land were not just empty names;

If Lu Qingshan loses, it would be tantamount to the fact that a genius nurtured by the Holy Land is inferior to a genius from a non-Holy Land, which would be a heavy blow to their self-esteem.

"You're Lu Qingshan, ranked number one in the Heavenly Star Holy Land?"

Upon appearing before Lu Qingshan, the young man in blue robes showed a hint of anticipation on his face before quickly asking a question.

"It's me!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, his voice steady and composed, and then asked in return, "You are the Reaper?"

The young man in blue nodded slightly, then said, "My name is Kamengsi!"

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise quickly appeared on the faces of the people around, because the number one ranked contestant in the Sixth World Zone was none other than Kamengsi.
