Chapter 126: Rong Jun Defeated Again (Extra Chapter)

In a distant arena, the green‑haired girl Qianshui also claimed victory.

Xiao Yu looked toward another arena, where Luo Feng was battling a spiritual illusionist Mingliang, but Mingliang's strength was far weaker than Jialaisi's; the earlier qualification matches required cooperation with an illusionist and a mind‑weapon to win, and now facing Luo Feng, he was quickly defeated.

Later, on another arena, a green‑haired youth bearing a Secret Pattern on his face stood on the stage and gave a faint smile.

"Brother, brother!" Qianshui shouted joyfully.

"Jiang Mo, there's actually a brother‑and‑sister pair among the top ten of the universe!" Luo Feng said, looking at the green‑haired youth.

The winners of the ten arenas appeared one after another.

"Rong Jun is about to win," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

His opponent, Rong Jun, faced Gu Siluo, who ranked third in the trial; to many, the outcome of Gu Siluo versus Rong Jun was unsurprising, especially since Gu Siluo is a near‑perfect controller of Spiritual Mind Masters, and the battle was essentially under his control from the start.

But Xiao Yu had already witnessed Rong Jun's Open Heaven‑like sword technique; now his swordplay has further refined, so his victory is only a matter of time.

With Rong Jun's victory.

The top‑ten list has already emerged.

"Xiao Yu, Bo Lan, Qianshui, Luo Feng, Jiang Mo, Lan Si Luo, Uka, Ai Chen, Long Yun, Rong Jun, congratulations to the ten of you," the man in a blue robe with purple scales smiled, "In a moment, we will select the top five from you ten, and the first and second places will be chosen from those five."

"As for the grouping, according to the rules previously set by the Virtual Universe System, your ten have varying victory times; the fastest and the slowest will face each other, the second fastest and the second slowest will duel, and so on."

Xiao Yu looked at Rong Jun, "Your wish is fulfilled!"

"Ah, Rong Jun is about to meet Xiao Yu. Even though Rong Jun's true power is terrifying and could erupt further, his opponent is Xiao Yu; this duel is undoubtedly a certain loss!"

This was the shared thought of everyone in the arena, and the crowd cast sympathetic glances toward Rong Jun.

Among the top ten, there will be one‑on‑one matches, five battles in total, as follows:

"Xiao Yu" versus "Rong Jun"!

"Bo Lan" versus "Long Yun"!

"Qianshui" versus "Ai Chen"!

"Luo Feng" versus "Uka"!

"Jiang Mo" versus "Lan Si Luo"!

"Take a short break; the arena battles will resume shortly," the blue‑robe, purple‑scaled man's voice echoed in everyone's ears.

……

"Interesting, truly interesting."

"Shi San, this time your Qian Wu Universe Country geniuses will have an internal conflict!"

"Among the four Qian Wu Universe Country geniuses, Xiao Yu, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun are all very strong; an internal clash is only a matter of time, right? Moreover, Rong Jun, while others rely on senior‑created secret techniques, has actually created his own, merging the Earth and Space Origin Laws, and its power is astonishing. If he hadn't met Xiao Yu, he would have fully been able to enter the top five."

"Don't overpraise Rong Jun; he's only at a stellar level now, still weak. Creating a secret technique at this stage is premature; he should first study the predecessors. At least when he becomes a Realm Lord, his perspective will broaden, his insight into the Fundamental Law will deepen, and then forging his own secret technique won't be too late."

"What you say is also inaccurate; creating a secret technique now is a beginning, and a self‑created secret technique wields even greater power when unleashed."

Around the scale‑armored giant in battle robes, the other Immortals began to talk.

Amid the Immortals' discussion, the ten‑to‑five arena battle commenced.

The original arena in the central plaza had long vanished; now, with a thunderous rumble, five even more exquisite and luxurious arenas rose again, their light domes being massive translucent light membranes that, under the sky's light sphere, reflected rainbow hues.

On the arena adorned with beautiful border patterns, Xiao Yu and Rong Jun faced each other from afar.

Seeing Rong Jun in the mid‑air ahead, bearing a massive pure‑black war blade, Xiao Yu smiled, "Just like last time, you only have one chance!"

"Ha ha, I've been waiting for this day for five years!" the Ye Ren youth laughed loudly, "For five years I've been studying sword techniques, and I've finally created this move. Watch closely!"

"Fine, I'll be watching with anticipation!" Xiao Yu sheathed the Sky‑Cutting Blade he had drawn, produced the five‑stage Force Weapon Heavenly Thunder Blade, "This time you'll also get a taste of it."

Xiao Yu has already comprehended over thirty varieties of the essence of the Law of the Origin of Thunder; now, even without employing the Space‑Time Origin Law, his grasp of the laws is scarcely different from that of an average Realm Lord.

"Ha ha!" the Ye Ren youth Rong Jun roared, his aura soaring step by step.

Dense currents of the Earth and Space Origin Laws, blended with the Force inside him, surged into the Earth‑Cracking Blade; his entire aura peaked, space warped slightly, the ground trembled, as if a barbaric war god had swung a slash.

Tearing heaven and rending earth.

"Watch my move, Break the Universe!" the Ye Ren youth Rong Jun laughed, his speed limit soaring, instantly splitting into nine avatars that surged toward Xiao Yu.

"Break the Universe, destroy Xiao Yu! … Indeed…" Xiao Yu was at a loss for words.

A thought shifted, and an explosive, uncanny aura emanated from Xiao Yu's body, which was under two meters tall, giving the impression of confronting an ancient giant.

In an instant, countless Secret Patterns appeared on the Heavenly Thunder Blade, and waves of energy swept across the entire arena space.

At an unknown moment, thick bolts of lightning spontaneously formed in the arena's sky.

Xiao Yu's figure moved, swift as lightning, uncanny as a ripple, appearing before Rong Jun; a slash seemed slow but was actually extremely fast, instantly intersecting Rong Jun's Earth‑Cracking Blade.

"Boom!"

The massive shockwave in midair formed huge gusts, sweeping the entire arena.

"Not good!" At the instant the blades met, Rong Jun felt an unparalleled force transmitted through the Earth‑Cracking Blade; even with the mitigation of his Force Armor, it was enough to grievously wound him.

The battle froze in an instant.

Xiao Yu's figure seemed fixed in midair, maintaining the same pose, motionless, while a massive thunder‑lightning blade, at the moment the Earth‑Cracking Blade and Heavenly Thunder Blade clashed, pierced through the Earth‑Cracking Blade and struck the flailing Rong Jun.

Rong Jun melted away entirely, vanishing.

Only the Earth‑Cracking Blade flew backward dozens of kilometers, struck the translucent light membrane, and then disappeared.

In an instant, the battle was over.

The many watching Immortals and the 990 geniuses were astonished.

"How could this be!"

"He was resolved in an instant, Rong Jun!"

"This Xiao Yu seemed to have used only the Thunder Origin Law the whole time!"

"The essence of the Lightning Law is already half‑understood; with further insight, perhaps he'll gain the Fundamental Law's approval!"

"Looking at his previous battles, we know Xiao Yu has mastered three Fundamental Laws; his Space‑Time Origin Law has already reached its essence, but we didn't expect his attainment in the Lightning Law to be so high."

Monster! Absolutely a monster!

Defying the heavens, too defying the heavens! A stellar-level understanding of the Lower-level Law is, unbelievably, on par with a Realm Lord!

The prerequisite for a Realm Lord to advance to Immortal is to fully comprehend one of the Eight Lower Origin Laws, so ordinary Realm Lords have extremely deep insight into the Lower-level Laws, unless they have just been promoted to Realm Lord.

Take Bo Lan, for example; he is praised as having an understanding of the Spatial Origin Law comparable to a Realm Lord. Here the comparison is mainly with ordinary Realm Lords; if it were a Spatial Realm Lord, his gap would be far too large.
