Chapter 127: Bo Lan

In the Top‑Ten Battle, Long Yun faced the death god Bo Lan; against anyone else, Long Yun's profoundly grasped Earth Fundamental Law might still win, but against Bo Lan, defeat was inevitable.

However, Long Yun remained low‑key and deeply hidden, and no one felt any pity for him.

"Huh, Luo Feng actually mastered the Sky‑Piercing Form; this secures it," Xiao Yu thought, looking at Luo Feng and Uka in the arena.

As time passed, on the five platforms, match after match came to an end.

Xiao Yu versus Rong Jun – Xiao Yu wins.

Bo Lan versus Long Yun – Bo Lan wins.

Qianshui versus Ai Chen – Ai Chen wins.

Luo Feng versus Uka – Luo Feng wins.

Jiang Mo versus Lans Luo – Jiang Mo wins.

"Xiao Yu, Bo Lan, Ai Chen, Luo Feng, Jiang Mo, all five of you performed well in the recent Top‑Five contest, impressive, especially Xiao Yu!" the man in the blue‑and‑purple robe smiled, "Rest for now; next are the first five Reincarnation Battles, one‑on‑one duels. Each win earns a point, and the rankings will determine first and second."

In the plaza's rest area, Xiao Yu, Luo Feng, Hong, and Rong Jun sat on chairs to rest.

"Third brother, this time we'll truly compete; I've been looking forward to it for a long time!" Luo Feng said to Xiao Yu, "I'll give it my all, and you must do the same!"

"Haha, Xiao Yu giving his all, we're probably no different from Bo Lan," Rong Jun laughed.

"That's true, it's just a single strike!" Hong joked.

"Alright, the Reincarnation Battle begins," Xiao Yu announced.

On the exquisite arena.

Xiao Yu, wearing Blue Force Armor and gripping a Fifth‑Tier Force Weapon Sky‑Cutter, smiled at his counterpart, while Luo Feng, stepping on a Dark‑Cloud Shuttle and bearing the Yan‑Shen Weapon, faced him.

"Luo Feng, use any technique you have!"

"Fine, you do the same!" Luo Feng replied solemnly.

In midair, the dark‑gold staff behind Luo Feng emitted nine golden streams of light, instantly forming nine golden phantom swords; the nine golden sword arcs resembled the heads of nine golden dragons, roaring as they surged toward Xiao Yu in the sky.

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"

When the nine golden phantom swords attacked Xiao Yu simultaneously from all directions, Xiao Yu seemed to sprout three heads and six arms, his twin battle blades instantly slashing, nearly simultaneously sending all nine swords flying.

The golden phantom swords, as if beyond Luo Feng's control, flew several kilometers away before being reclaimed.

"Again!" Xiao Yu shouted, still hovering unmoving, but his Ninth‑Tier comprehension fully unfolded, and streams of Thunder Origin Law merged into his Domain.

In the void, nine massive bolts of thunder, like nine swimming dragons, circled Xiao Yu, as if he were clad in a suit of thunder armor.

The nine golden phantom swords in the air split into eighty‑one small swords; then the eighty‑one golden blades converged, compressing the gaps until they perfectly fused into a single true golden sword.

"Sky‑Piercing Form!"

The golden sword, wrapped in golden aura, streaked like a comet, leaving a long golden trail that thrust straight at Xiao Yu.

Speed surged!

At the same time, Luo Feng gathered the remaining mind‑force in his body, forming an invisible mind‑force cone that spun rapidly toward Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu no longer stood; at extreme speed he left a thousand phantom images in the air, his battle blade wielding space‑splitting force, slashing the two‑foot golden sword, which instantly flew back and shattered again into eighty‑one small swords.

Luo Feng's mind‑force attack also surged into Xiao Yu's Sea of Knowledge, the mind‑force cone striking his Soul Crystal as if it were solid.

Invisible sparks erupted.

The rapidly spinning Soul Crystal remained as hard as ever, while the mind‑force cone was swiftly eroded.

"Not good!" Luo Feng muttered, quickly withdrawing the remaining mind‑force; just as he was about to reform a golden sword, Xiao Yu had already reached Luo Feng's side.

Even with a Fifth‑Tier mind‑force weapon, his speed still lagged behind Xiao Yu's.

In an instant a blade flashed, and Luo Feng vanished.

The arena now held only Xiao Yu.

First match, win!

Next came the second match, against Bo Lan.

"Xiao Yu, give it your all!" the white‑robed youth bearing a Blood Sword called out from afar, gazing at Xiao Yu.

"I'll let you taste the secret of my cultivation!" Xiao Yu hovered in midair, looking down at the death god Bo Lan like a deity.

"Hm!" Bo Lan snorted coldly, his Blood Sword ignited, his body surged at extreme speed, and three thousand phantom images instantly appeared in the air.

"Let's see who's better!" Xiao Yu moved, and ten thousand phantom images sprang up in the sky.

Each of Bo Lan's phantom images was surrounded by at least three of Xiao Yu's.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Like three thousand against ten thousand, countless swords clanged instantly, accompanied by even more sounds of blades striking flesh.

Bo Lan's three thousand phantom images appeared and vanished in an instant; Bo Lan staggered to the ground, his Second‑Tier Force Armor riddled with holes, his body covered in slash marks, blood constantly gushing out.

"Truly strong!" Bo Lan sighed, then lost consciousness. Xiao Yu, appearing at his side, decapitated him with a single slash; the head flew into the air and quickly dissipated.

Second match, win!

Third match, against Ai Chen, win!

Fourth match, against Jiang Mo, win!

Finally, the Top‑Five Reincarnation Battle: Xiao Yu fought four matches, winning all four, an undisputed first place!

Bo Lan, three wins and one loss, took second place! The sole loss was to Xiao Yu, who was simply too powerful; the two sides were on entirely different levels.

Meanwhile, Luo Feng, Ai Chen, and Jiang Mo, regardless of their records, ranked within the top ten.

…

One thousand geniuses and 1,008 mighty Immortals stood on the central plaza, listening to the man in the blue‑and‑purple robe speak.

"Primordial Secret Realm member."

"Primeval Secret Realm member."

"Heaven‑and‑Earth Secret Realm member."

Members of the End Times Secret Realm.

Having selected all four tiers, this year's Universal Human Peak Talent selection battle has, up to today, come to a perfect conclusion. The man in blue robe and purple scales smiled, "Your cohort is exceptionally outstanding; I believe that dozens of centuries, even hundreds of centuries from now, many among you will become renowned throughout the entire universe."

Later a dedicated representative will contact you and escort you to the Universal Headquarters of my Virtual Universe Company, where you will gather before proceeding to the Initial Universe.

From now on, your path will no longer be ordinary.

My Virtual Universe Company will fully support you; whether you become a super existence that shakes the universe, remain an ordinary strong one, or fall midway, it all depends on you. Work hard; your journey as a strong one has only just begun! The man in blue robe and purple scales' voice echoed in everyone's mind.

This year's Talent War has officially concluded!

When the Talent War ended, both the lofty Nine Sword Honored One and the 1008 powerful Immortals left directly.

Xiao Yu and the other 1000 talents remained where they stood.

Please everyone stay for a moment; there are some matters to discuss regarding escorting you to the Universal Headquarters of my Virtual Universe Company, a staff member nearby shouted.

Xiao Yu and the others followed the staff to the second‑floor conference room of Restaurant No. 2 in Central Plaza.

Please fill in each of your planetary addresses; my Virtual Universe Company will arrange a fleet of spaceships to pick you up.

Xiao Yu handed his completed address to Luo Feng and Hong, saying, "Big brother, fourth one, we all use this address."
