Chapter 1340: Jian Xu Roy! Invincible Posture!

The first round of the arena brawl ended.

Xu Jingming crushed three Law-tier experts with overwhelming force and advanced smoothly to the one-on-one arena matches of the Cosmic Human Talent War.

In the following days, he did not leave the Virtual Universe.

Instead, he remained in the spectator seats, carefully observing every opponent's performance in each match.

According to the schedule, the arena brawl consisted of one hundred matches, twenty held daily, all concluding in five days.

"Indeed, none who compete in the Cosmic Talent War are simple figures."

Xu Jingming gazed calmly at the fierce combat on the arena.

He sat within the Star Torch Empire's exclusive viewing zone, flanked by Ye Lan and the other women.

Below, on the arena, the most dazzling competitors were naturally the Law-tier experts.

But there were still cases of upsets.

Some Law-tier experts were jointly killed by other contestants and eliminated early.

Moreover, he noticed another issue.

The number of experts who had comprehended the Law far exceeded his expectations.

"Originally, according to the intelligence provided by the Star Torch Emperor, there were roughly two hundred and some Starlight-tier geniuses who had comprehended the Law across the entire Cosmic Human realm."

Xu Jingming mused inwardly, "Yet after only thirty matches, nearly a hundred Law-tier experts have already appeared—averaging three per match."

This number far surpassed his expectations, yet upon closer thought, it made perfect sense.

The Cosmic Human realm was vast, and countless geniuses had concealed their strength during the preliminary rounds.

Now, on the ultimate stage of the Talent War, they finally revealed their true sharpness.

"Still, even so, few among them can truly threaten me."

Xu Jingming's gaze was calm, his heart utterly unruffled.

Comprehending the Law was merely the first step toward becoming a true expert.

And someone like him—who had not only entered the Lightning Law, but also perfected the Domain of Destruction—

And who had brought his T6-level combat technique to perfection—was exceedingly rare across the entire Cosmic Human realm.

The only one he needed to watch was Roy, who had comprehended the Destruction Law.

"It's already the 53rd round. I wonder when he'll step onto the arena."

Xu Jingming silently calculated the time.

Finally, when the 42nd round began, Roy's figure appeared on the arena.

Finally, when the 42nd round of matches began, Roy's figure appeared on the arena.

The moment Roy stepped onto the arena, the entire spectator stand erupted!

The moment Roy stepped onto the fighting platform, the entire spectator stand erupted in chaos!

"My Lord Jian Xu is the strongest!"

"Jian Xu! Jian Xu! Jian Xu!"

"......"

The deafening shouts surged like a tidal wave across the entire continent.

The passion of ten trillion spectators ignited at once.

Countless people raised banners emblazoned with Roy's name, waving them wildly as if welcoming an invincible king.

"Jian Xu" was the title Roy had earned through his previous matches.

A single sword slash, all things return to the void—this described his formidable power.

"This spectacle is far greater than when I won."

Xu Jingming, seated among the spectators, slightly raised an eyebrow.

"That's because Roy's performance in previous matches was too overwhelming."

Ye Lan, seated beside him, spoke softly, her beautiful eyes filled with awe:

"Roy is already universally recognized as the top contender of this Talent War. Everyone believes he is unbeatable."

"Unbeatable? Not necessarily."

Without having faced Roy one-on-one, Xu Jingming did not believe Roy could defeat him.

Ye Lan blinked, gazing at Xu Jingming's battle-ready profile, her heart stirring slightly.

Yes—her man never surrendered easily.

Not even against an opponent who had comprehended the Destruction Law.

On the vast arena, Roy wore a white robe, his face cold and stern, his gaze sharp as a blade.

Merely standing there, he radiated an invisible pressure, like a drawn sword, all sharpness exposed.

"3... 2... 1... Countdown ended—match begins!"

As the mechanical voice sounded, the invisible barrier dissolved.

In an instant, over a hundred thousand contestants unleashed their formidable auras.

Among them, three Law-tier experts immediately joined forces, leading the rest in a charge toward Roy!

"Eliminate Roy first! Otherwise none of us stand a chance!"

A red-haired man who had comprehended the Fire Law roared.

"All together!" The other two Law-tier experts responded swiftly.

In an instant, three terrifying True Body Phantoms coalesced violently!

In an instant, three terrifying Dharma Phantoms coalesced with a thunderous crash!

However,

Facing such a terrifying assault, Luo Kuangyong didn't even blink.

He merely glanced casually at the three at the front, and the hundred thousand behind them.

"Insects."

He spat out two cold words.

Then, with a light lift of his right hand, a completely black longsword materialized out of thin air.

On the blade's surface, the aura of the Metal Principle and the Destruction Principle surged wildly, as if even space itself would be torn apart.

"Destroy."

Luo Kuangyong flicked his wrist, and the sword slashed out.

"Ssshh—"

A pitch-black blade of light, piercing heaven and earth, suddenly blazed forth!

Where the blade-light passed, space twisted and shattered, as if even light had been utterly swallowed.

Terrifying destruction surged like a tidal wave across the entire arena.

Everything it touched—whether person or object—vanished instantly into nothingness.

"Boom—"

After the blade-light faded, the entire arena fell into deathly silence.

Over a hundred thousand competitors, including the three Principle masters.

Their forms had vanished entirely, leaving not even a trace.

The entire crowd was stunned!

"This... this is Luo Kuangyong's power?"

"One sword, wiped out a hundred thousand? Including three Principle masters?!"

"Too terrifying! How can anyone fight this?"

"..."

In the spectator seats, countless people stared wide-eyed, faces filled with disbelief.

Before this, what had shocked them most was Xu Jingming's battle—three Principle masters instantly slain in succession.

But Luo Kuangyong gave them an entirely different sensation.

With one slash, whether you were a common Starlight Rank or a Starlight Rank who had comprehended a Principle, it made no difference!

All beings equal—one sword, annihilation!

"Hah! Luo Kuangyong is truly a prodigy who has comprehended the Destruction Principle!"

"In talent, perhaps one appears only once in ten million years!"

"Tsk tsk, the Starfall Empire has stumbled upon a lucky windfall."

"..."

In the VIP lounge, many Dominators were also murmuring among themselves.

Luo Kuangyong was not trained by the Starfall Empire's sacred grounds—he merely registered to compete under the Starfall Empire.

Before this, no one had even heard his name, yet now he had soared to the heavens!

"This is the Destruction Principle? Indeed, it is powerful."

Xu Jingming, in the spectator seats, also felt stunned.

Luo Kuangyong's previous sword strike, though seemingly casual, had pushed the power of the Destruction Principle to its absolute limit.

Even he could not guarantee he could withstand the blow unscathed.

"Jingming..." Ye Lan gripped his hand with concern.

Xu Jingming snapped back to awareness, gently patted her hand, and smiled:

"Don't worry—I'm not that easy to defeat."

Though the Destruction Principle is strong, with the third level of the Purple Nightmare Demon Body and numerous Perfect-grade combat techniques, he is not certain to lose.
