Chapter 135: The Supercontinent

When it comes to raw attack power in the genius competition, Bolan ranks second. For sheer trickery, the illusions of "Phantom" Gali-Si are unparalleled. For sharpness and unstoppable force, Luo Feng’s "Sky-Piercing Strike" stands supreme, while the raw, savage dominance of the "Savage" Rong Jun’s blade techniques is unmatched.

After a fierce struggle lasting several minutes:

"Pfft!"

With a spray of blood, the Savage Rong Jun was sent flying, crashing to the ground like a discarded sack of rags.

"Rumble..." The training field shifted, and the simulated version of Rong Jun vanished. Luo Yuan stood firmly on the ground, his expression cold and detached.

This specialized "training field" was equipped with the same properties as the Killing Space, capable of simulating any desired opponent, though the simulated space within the training field was limited.

"Your Highness’s close-quarters combat is truly magnificent. To be able to defeat a World Lord-level warrior while only at the Universe level—you are truly worthy of being the number one genius of the competition!"

The Immortal god "Mona," who had been watching the combat scene on the large screen outside the training field, walked in. A look of wonder and a smile graced her cold, elegant face, her eyes shining with brilliance. After spending these days with Luo Yuan, she found him increasingly extraordinary. Compared to him, the other geniuses from the competition were simply not on the same level.

"Mona, keep it low-key, keep it low-key!" Luo Yuan said with a laugh, though the look of pride on his face was unmistakable.

Mona chuckled at this, finding Luo Yuan to be a very interesting person. As an Immortal god, it was her duty to guide his training, but since Luo Yuan arrived, he had never once come to her for guidance. Even so, the speed at which his strength grew shocked her, making her feel that she was not even qualified to teach him; perhaps only those high-and-mighty Universe Venerables were worthy.

...

During the three-year journey, the 1,000 geniuses who were recruited did not dare to relax. This competition had a profound impact on all of them. Before this, they had rarely encountered formidable opponents, but the life-and-death battles of the tournament had changed them. After the competition concluded, many spent the following years reflecting and making significant progress.

Coupled with the ability to choose any secret technique they desired, 10,000 points were more than enough for the likes of Luo Feng, Rong Jun, and Uka—all from the Primordial Region—to acquire everything they needed. At their level, there was no need to purchase anything excessively expensive.

After three years of contemplation, everyone had improved greatly.

...

In the lounge of the spaceship.

Luo Yuan and Luo Feng, both dressed in combat suits and boots that fit their bodies perfectly, stood there. The lean, silver-haired elder beside them bowed respectfully, "Your Highnesses, we will arrive at the company's universe-wide headquarters shortly."

"Understood," Luo Yuan nodded.

...

Three years!

These had been the three years of his fastest progress. However, the deeper he delved, the more Luo Yuan felt the unfathomable nature of the universe's origin. The mysteries governing the operation of the entire universe were complex and intricate. His own secret techniques were at best those used by "sub-Venerables" or "ordinary Venerables," yet he still found them profound, which spoke to the difficulty of this path.

"I have improved so much; I wonder how the others are doing," Luo Yuan mused. "My system cheat is a rare stroke of luck! But... the universe is vast; what kind of wonders don't exist? Perhaps among these 1,000 geniuses, there are those with even more miraculous encounters."

Never underestimate anyone, and never be arrogant.

The universe is vast and mysterious, and there are trillions of races; humanity is only one of them. One must always maintain a sense of awe toward the universe.

"Beginning universe transition, entering the original universe."

"10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1!"

Luo Yuan felt the entire ship tremble slightly. Ten seconds later, everything returned to normal. He immediately shouted, "100% external view simulation." Instantly, the walls of the lounge became transparent and vanished, revealing a dreamlike starry sky. Far off in the void, a vast, super-continent hung suspended in space.

The universe-wide headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company had arrived.

"A... a... continent?" Luo Feng, standing inside the spaceship, stared at the endless landmass floating in the distant starry sky, his eyes wide.

Luo Yuan and the lean, silver-haired elder remained calm, which made Luo Feng laugh awkwardly, realizing his own reaction was somewhat comical.

"It really is huge!" Luo Yuan said, smiling as he looked at the super-continent.

The stars and planets floating near this massive landmass were like tiny sesame seeds in comparison! Even as the spaceship flew toward it, it felt as though the continent remained just as distant.

"It’s millions of times larger than any planet I’ve ever seen. It’s too big," Luo Feng gasped.

"Your Highnesses, what do you think of the company's universe-wide headquarters?" the lean elder asked with a smile.

Luo Yuan asked curiously, "How big is the headquarters?"

"How big?"

The lean elder shook his head. "If you don't travel through the dark universe, it would take at least several decades to fly from one side of the headquarters to the other in a spaceship."

"You mean..." Luo Yuan was startled, "It has a diameter of several dozen light-years?"

...

One light-year is more than nine trillion kilometers.

Earth’s diameter is only a little over ten thousand kilometers.

No wonder the distant stars and planets looked like sesame seeds; this continent floating in the universe was truly absurdly large.

"Yes," the silver-haired elder nodded.

"Where did such a large landmass come from?" Luo Feng could not help but ask. "Can such a huge continent form naturally in the universe?" Although the universe is mysterious and full of wonders, the birth of a continent with a diameter of dozens of light-years was still too incredible.

"I do not know," the lean elder shook his head.

The two stopped asking further questions.

Although they could see the vast continent in the distant starry sky, it still took their F-grade spaceship, traveling at nearly the speed of light, about thirteen hours to reach one of the entrances to the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters. Along the way, Luo Yuan felt the entire continent was built with breathtaking beauty.

It appeared to be natural cosmic scenery, but as the ship entered the continent, Luo Yuan could still sense the high-level technology hidden behind this "nature."

"Your Highnesses, the stars, planets, and meteorites surrounding the headquarters continent are actually terrifying technological weapons," the lean elder introduced in the luxurious lounge.

"Oh?" Luo Yuan nodded. "With the company's means, those stars and planets are indeed like toys to be molded at will."

Even an Immortal powerhouse could toy with a star.

Given the incredible technological prowess of the Virtual Universe Company, if even a World Lord knew those modified stars and planets were weapons, they were likely just for show... The true defensive trump cards of the headquarters would surely not be so simple.

Whoosh!

After flying at sub-light speed for several minutes through the entrance passage of the continent, the spaceship finally decelerated and came to a stop.

Luo Yuan and Luo Feng, followed by the World Lord Sha Wu and others, flew out from the cabin door together. As for the Immortal god on the top floor of the ship, they never showed their face.
