The planet where Nolan Shan is located is far away from Earth. Even if they knew that Zhang Junbao and the others were on Earth, without Earth's Dark Universe coordinates, it would take at least thousands of years to slowly fly over by spaceship. Therefore, they have no need to worry about Nolan Shan's retaliation.
The appearance of Nolan Shan brought this ' Giant Axe Warrior ' challenge to a climax. Even the Universe Level ' Giant Axe Warrior ' was defeated, and the remaining opponents were also unable to withstand it.
At this moment, the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire was in an uproar. Zhang Junbao's record of continuously killing multiple opponents in the Challenge Space was also brought up, and the high-ranking officials of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire all turned their attention to him.
Geniuses trained by various holy sites continued to emerge to challenge, but none of them escaped unscathed.
"You useless trash! The Holy Land has invested so much in training you, yet you can't even defeat a few unknown martial artists. You have failed the Holy Master!"
"Find out exactly where these four people came from."
Challenging the ' Giant Axe Warrior ' might not be worth the Holy Land's attention, but just now, Zhang Junbao killed a Star Level, Domain Eighth Level Spirit Reader.
Star Level at the eighth level of the domain is considered an unparalleled genius within the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire, someone who can stand out from the crowd.
Even the top forces within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, such as the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land, Three Axe Mountain, Hundred Tiger Tower, might only have one or two geniuses like this at most, making it difficult not to pay attention to them.
Zhang Junbao's 999th challenge was against a woman.
" Wu Yuehua, Star Level, no combat record, note: extremely strong domain."
"Hmm? No battle record, yet the indicator says their domain is extremely strong. Is this another genius nurtured by a holy land?"
After reviewing his opponent's information, Zhang Junbao was indeed impressed. The Black Dragon Mountain Empire was merely a bottom-ranked empire within the Ganwu Universe Country, yet even so, it was still possible to find some geniuses at the Star Level who had mastered their respective fields.
As they continued to slay their opponents, one after another, geniuses from the Holy Lands began to use them as tools for honing their skills, and they all emerged to challenge them.
With the next Universe Genius Battle perhaps only a few years away, these sacred sites are creating a final sprint opportunity for the geniuses they have nurtured.
Unfortunately, without stepping into the threshold of the Law, he ultimately appeared powerless when facing cosmic geniuses.
This battle has attracted considerable attention, including the holy lands within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, Three Axe Mountain, and the Hundred Tiger Tower where Nolan Shan is located. Although Zhang Junbao and his companions defeated all the geniuses they sent out, the more they did so, the more these forces wanted to acquire them.
No one would refuse the participation of several top geniuses, and at this moment, everyone is waiting for the final result of this challenge.
On the one hand, they hoped that the geniuses they had trained could defeat Zhang Junbao and his group. On the other hand, if even the geniuses they had trained couldn't defeat Zhang Junbao and his group, wouldn't that mean that Zhang Junbao and his group were more valuable?
A woman dressed in a moon-white combat uniform appeared on Zhang Junbao's fighting arena.
The woman stood proudly, her face expressionless, with four double-pointed spikes floating around her. Strange cloud-like patterns shimmered on the spikes, making her appear extraordinary.
" Star Level being capable of wielding the Fourth Order psychic weapon, the Dark Cloud Spike, is indeed a formidable opponent. The four Dark Cloud Shuttle form a set of psychic weapons, which can be combined to create a deadly array; the transformations within them are quite ingenious."
As the battle began, Wu Yuehua's eyes flashed with silver light, and the four Dark Cloud Spike seemed to vanish into thin air before Zhang Junbao's eyes.
Spirit Reader incredible speed in flight and even faster in attack. Their weapons are designed for unpredictable attacks, yet combined, they create immense power that is difficult to withstand. This is what makes them so formidable.
Under the influence of the water-attribute domain, Zhang Junbao felt that the surrounding space was somewhat viscous, and his dodging became much slower.
Zhang Junbao had anticipated this; instead of expanding outwards, his domain covered his body, forming a protective layer similar to a combat suit.
As the Ten Thousand Line Flow technique was unleashed, his figure vanished instantly.
Where he had disappeared, only a fleeting afterimage remained. Immediately after he vanished, four Dark Cloud Spike shot out, shattering the air. If Zhang Junbao had remained in the same spot, he would have been fatally wounded.
"Excellent footwork!" Wu Yuehua exclaimed in admiration, but she did not hesitate at all in unleashing her killing move.
The Water Domain forces coiled around Zhang Junbao, attempting to bind him to his spot.
However, the thin layer of domain armor covering Zhang Junbao's body could easily break through the suppression of Wu Yuehua's domain and move through it.
This is the area of change that Zhang Junbao developed after extrapolating from his own field.
A fully covered domain not only consumes a great deal of resources, but also, due to the dispersion of power, makes it difficult to achieve the maximum suppressive force of the domain.
However, Zhang Junbao directly covered his body with his domain, which allowed him to easily resist the invasion of other people's domains. At the same time, he made himself like a darling of the space, moving through it and maximizing the effect of his domain.
"A ninth-level Water Domain, and they've actually sent out a genius of this caliber." Zhang Junbao judged the opponent's strength the instant Wu Yuehua's domain enveloped him.
Unfortunately, even though the opponent's domain power was extremely strong, once it was dispersed, it was still unable to contend with the domain that Zhang Junbao had covered the surface of his body.
His movements were unimpeded; Wu Yuehua's Spiritual Force could not detect Zhang Junbao's figure, and even the four Dark Cloud Spike could not keep up with his speed.
This is extremely dangerous for a Spirit Reader.
The space in front of Wu Yuehua distorted, and she hurriedly controlled the Dark Cloud Spike to defend, but the Dark Cloud Spike missed again. Zhang Junbao's figure kept flashing, unpredictable and impossible to defend against.
" Aurora - Yin and Yang Divided!"
With a single sword strike, the realms of Yin and Yang are separated.
Zhang Junbao appeared before Wu Yuehua, Wu Yuehua four Dark Cloud Spike hung in front of her, swirling and forming a spiked shield in the air.
However, Zhang Junbao's sword passed through the shield formed by the Dark Cloud Spike, and Wu Yuehua saw a world before her that was both dark and bright.
"What terrifying swordsmanship!"
After uttering a few words, Wu Yuehua's gaze shifted, and her body was cleaved in two by Zhang Junbao's sword.
Wu Yuehua collapsed and died, and Zhang Junbao also withdrew from the arena once again.
Soon after, Luo Feng and his group appeared one after another, their faces showing signs of fatigue, indicating they had gone through a tough battle. However, they all looked excited, having defeated their respective opponents.
"Clap clap clap"
"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! No wonder he's the challenger of the ' Giant Axe Warrior '!"
"Your talents and abilities are all top-notch. My master invites you to come with me."
An administrator from the Giant Axe Arena approached the four, bowed respectfully, and said...
"Who is your father?" Zhang Junbao asked.
My family member is...
"My master is in charge of the Killing Field and is already waiting for you in the meditation room."
Just as the manager of the Giant Axe Arena was about to speak, a burly man stepped forward and spoke first.
Who are you?
"This is the Giant Axe Arena. When did it become your Killing Field to pick people up?" The manager of the Giant Axe Arena asked with displeasure.
He was ordered to pick up the person, but a stranger suddenly appeared and tried to snatch them away. Where does this leave the reputation of the Giant Axe Arena?
"I am Ming Yu, a deacon from the Killing Field. Go back and tell your master that they are from the Killing Field. My master is the head of the Black Dragon Mountain Branch of the Killing Field, Man Luo!"
"Lord Man Luo is still waiting. Zhang Junbao, you four, please follow me!" The burly man, Ming Yu, said domineeringly, showing no regard for the management personnel at the Giant Axe Arena.
" Ming Yu, the deacon of the Killing Field? Domain Lord Level expert?"
The manager of the Giant Axe Arena's expression changed drastically; clearly, he had heard of Ming Yu's name.
He was merely a Universe Level manager, ordered to take Zhang Junbao and the other three to meet the head of the Giant Axe Arena. If Ming Yu were to take them away on their own turf, wouldn't their Giant Axe Arena become a laughing stock?
"Lord Ming Yu, my master is the head of the Black Dragon Mountain Island branch of the Giant Axe Arena. Lord Suokes, please don't make things difficult for me." The manager of the Giant Ming Yu Giant Axe Arena said in an unfriendly tone. His position was not as high as Ming Yu's, but Suokes behind him was a big shot on par with Man Luo.
"How?
Trying to intimidate me by bringing up Lord Suokes?
So what? Lord Man Luo said that if Lord Suokes has any objections, let him come to the Killing Field himself. Clearly, Ming Yu has a lot of confidence to snatch someone right in front of the Giant Axe Arena.
"Lord Ming Yu! I..."
The manager of the Giant Axe Arena was about to say something when Ming Yu kicked him away.
"What nonsense are you spouting? If it weren't for Lord Suokes's sake, you wouldn't even dare to speak to me!"
"My four young friends, let's go."
A smile appeared on Ming Yu's ferocious face, but to others, it carried a clear threat.
Domain Lord Level would be a founding patriarch of many mid-level forces within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, yet here, he's merely a gofer. So, who exactly is this Lady Man Luo he speaks of?
Ming Yu's actions caused many other envoys who also wanted to invite Zhang Junbao and his group to give up completely. The people behind them might not even be as powerful as Ming Yu, let alone his backer Man Luo.
The person in charge of the Killing Field? The Killing Field is an enterprise of Virtual Universe Company. Although Virtual Universe Company and Giant Axe Arena are two of the five major human powers, the competition between their various organizations has never stopped.
And those at the top, in fact, also presuppose this kind of competition.
Resources in the universe are limited, whether they are treasures or geniuses.
Fair distribution is impossible; only competition allows the strong to seize more resources—this is the simplest Universe Laws.
Clearly, Suokes, the person in charge of the Giant Axe Arena, had not expected that Man Luo would actually send Ming Yu, Domain Lord Level, to snatch him away.
Zhang Junbao and the others exchanged bewildered glances. If it were merely Universe Level expert, they might still be able to make a choice according to their own wishes. However, in the face of Domain Lord Level powerhouse, they had absolutely no right to decide.
The Domain Lord Level is far superior to the Universe Level, which Nolan Shan has been unable to break through to for a long time.
Don't forget, the entire Virtual Universe Network ultimately belongs to Virtual Universe Company.
Clearly, they possess far greater licensing authority within the Virtual Universe Network, and even the Giant Axe Arena might not be able to compete with the Virtual Universe Company.
"The competition for resources in the universe is this blatant; you'll get used to it. Ming Yu is from Virtual Universe Company, how domineering!" Babata remarked.
Luo Feng and his companions' eyes lit up. "Domineering is great! If we really want to join a cosmic power, we should choose one that is powerful enough."
Otherwise, if your own powerful members back down when competing for resources with other forces in the universe, what's the point of competing then?
From the moment they first came into contact with the universe, they had heard many rumors about the Virtual Universe Company, and now, they had finally witnessed it for themselves!
