The highest floor of the Devil Hero Pagoda.
The Pagoda Master and the elders were still sorting out and arranging the candidates to enter the Genius Zone.
"Alright, the candidates have been decided.
First, they have to be under 10,000 years old.
After that, we won't consider those below the Talisman Transformation Stage.
If they don't reach the Talisman Transformation Stage, they'll just be courting death, "the Pagoda Master said.
"Then, Pagoda Master, I'll repeat the candidates," an elder said respectfully.
"Alright ~ ~ ~" the Pagoda Master snorted.
"After sorting and screening, there are 102 people who meet the requirements to enter the Genius Zone in our Devil Hero World," the elder said solemnly.
The elder said solemnly, "Among them, the one who has the highest chance of winning glory for our realm in the Genius Zone and bringing back celestial treasures is … Yan Qi, an ancient powerhouse ranked 77th on the Devilman Ranking.
Tower Master, this Yan Qi is the brightest star in our realm of the Monster Warriors!
His actual age is only over 9,000 years old, but he's already in the ranks of the Ancient Giants. He's younger than many of the Ancient Giants.
At the True Treasure Stage, one's True Qi can transform into a Celestial Treasure. A casual attack from him has the power to destroy heaven and earth. "
"Hmm … Tower Master, although Yan Qi's ranking isn't too high among the Ancient Era's powerhouses, he's indeed the youngest.
There's a chance for him to obtain a Celestial Treasure in the Genius Zone, "another elder said with a smile.
"Yes, I think highly of Yan Qi.
He's the only True Treasure Stage expert we've selected, "the Pagoda Master said with certainty.
"Yan Qi.
He must enter the Genius Zone. "
"Pagoda Master.
Apart from Yan Qi.
As for the remaining 101 places, they will all be chosen from the ancient giants, "the elder continued.
"Among the 101 Ancient Giants, 95 are at the Seventh Level Talisman Transformation Stage and 6 are at the Eighth Level Talisman Formation Stage."
After pausing for a moment, the elder regretfully said.
"This is our realm's strongest lineup under ten thousand years old.
Unfortunately, there are some Ancient Giants who are powerful.
However, they've just passed 10,000 years old and lost this rare opportunity. "
102 Ancient Giants.
One Ancient Giant.
101 ancient giants.
In terms of realms, there was 1 True Treasure Realm, 6 Talisman Formation Realm, and 95 Talisman Shaping Realm.
After a moment of silence, an elder said hesitantly.
"Tower Master, isn't the lineup of our plane a little thin?"
"It's fine," the Pagoda Master said.
"It's already not bad to be able to select 102 people to enter the genius zone.
Perhaps the other planes won't be able to select so many candidates. "
"That's true."
"Private message now.
He passed the news to all the ancient powerhouses and the 102 candidates.
After sending the message.
We have come out of seclusion.
Also, gather the candidates who will enter the genius zone and ask them to come to the Yao Xia Tower in secret to discuss this important matter. "The Tower Master ordered.
…
…
…
In this vast universe, there was a distinction between the Upper and Lower Realms.
The Upper Realm was a high-level space that was occupied by human immortals and high-level demons. Both sides were equally matched.
As for the lower realms, there were billions upon billions of them. They were like the eternal sands of the universe, like sesame seeds or mung beans.
The distance between an ordinary plane and an adjacent ordinary plane was extremely far. One had to traverse the vast expanse of time and space to reach it. Moreover, there were all sorts of destructive energies in the vast expanse of time and space, such as Peck Wind, Black Lightning, Blue Fire, Sky Fire, Black Hole, Spatial Fragments, Meteor Flows … Ordinary humans and demons with slightly lower cultivation bases did not dare to fly in the vast expanse of space.
Moreover, in an unstable space, one could not teleport.
Moreover, it was extremely easy to lose one's direction when traveling blindly in space. Then, one would fall in the universe and become a speck of dust.
Therefore … very few living beings could travel from one plane to another.
As a matter of fact, it wasn't impossible.
For example, in the plane that Xiao Han was in, the Yao Xia leader, the Pagoda Master, should have the ability to travel to the nearest neighboring plane.
But … he did not dare to.
First, to successfully travel to the nearest neighboring plane, the consumption was too great!
The consumption of time, energy, and vital energy was extremely frightening. Secondly, there were unknown dangers in other planes. Not only could they be attacked by the Demon Clan from other planes, but they could also be seen as invaders by the Human Clan from other planes … The Tower Master had also attempted to travel through the universe to other planes. However, he had given up on this grand journey a few months after he set off and returned in low spirits.
Even so, every living being in an ordinary plane knew that there must be other living beings like them in the universe!
…
This was a plane shaped like a planet. It was mainly dark red in color and emitted a scorching heat that could burn mountains and boil seas.
The light around this plane was extremely distorted.
However, the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth was extremely abundant in this plane!
There were some crystal-like objects floating in the air … They were crystals formed by highly condensed Spiritual Qi. If humans used them to cultivate Spiritual Qi, they would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. The effect was many times better than ordinary Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth!
In the center of this plane stood a tower-shaped building that was tens of thousands of feet tall!
Ancient!
Mysterious!
Great!
It was the Yaoxia Pagoda!
Around the Yaoxia Pagoda, there were many flaming mountains floating in the air!
At this moment, a figure with waist-length crimson hair was floating in the air. His entire body was faintly bathed in flames. He was seven to eight meters tall.
Beside him stood many powerful human vital energy cultivators!
Faint Immortal Qi was enshrouding them!
And under his feet, on the red ground, there were thousands of powerful human vital energy cultivators kneeling.
"Everyone!
You are all the most talented young people in this plane!
You are all under 10,000 years old. However, although you are young, many of you have reached the Talisman Formation Realm and the True Treasure Realm.
Some of them have even stepped into the Celestial Eye realm! "That person's hair was scarlet red.
The crimson hair giant bathed in boiling flames.
He let out a thunderous voice.
As he breathed, runes intertwined and rumbled. The majestic voice reverberated in the ears of the thousands of human vital energy cultivators kneeling on the ground.
"The demons in this plane are about to be completely wiped out by us demons!
Wiping out the demons is no longer the goal of this plane!
Now, we must pursue immortal fate!
Yes, we humans have cultivated to the highest realm.
We can become immortals!
We can ascend!
However, we lack opportunities.
And now … the opportunity is here!!!!
In the history of the Immortal World, the third ranked Immortal Emperor Jue Dao left behind treasures!
At the outermost layer of the treasures, there are restrictions set up. Immortals cannot enter!
This gives us a chance!
The genius zone!
That is the so-called genius zone!
Immortal treasures are piled up like mountains!
Hahahahaha ~ ~ ~ "
The giant in the flames was like a god. He let out a wild laughter that shook the heavens. "Countless ordinary planes, human heroes under the age of ten thousand years old.
They will all enter the genius zone and carry out the cruelest competition!
And I believe.
Our plane will be the final winner!
The final winner!
Hahahaha!
Young demons, are you ready?
This is the chance to become immortal!
I hope you will not disappoint me!
"Yes, tower master!"
More than a thousand strong human true qi cultivators all raised their heads and roared. Their eyes were full of fighting spirit and crazy confidence!
"Tower master, please be at ease. We will definitely crush those overconfident fellows from other planes!"
… …
"You are entrusted with the hope and glory of our plane!"
A deep and hoarse voice rang out. On the peak of a giant mountain range that was as black as a dragon and stretched for millions of miles, a tall and burly man stood there. His entire body was covered in black scale armor, and he was dozens of feet tall. The space around him froze.
In the mountains, a large number of human true qi cultivators prostrated themselves. All of their expressions were very respectful.
Just by standing there, the huge man in black scale armor emitted an aura that made people's hearts tremble.
"Go, fight for glory!
Also fight for the survival of our plane!
In our plane, the demon race is powerful while the human race is weak. Many fertile lands have been occupied by the demon race.
Magnificent rivers and mountains have been reduced to demon lands.
Now, the 81 warriors that I have selected will shoulder the future of our plane!
Go!
Enter the genius zone!
Obtain fortuitous encounters!
Obtain immortal fate!
Use your lives to defend your dignity!
Become strong!
Strong enough to expel and kill all the demons in this plane! "
The giant man in black scale armor had an aura like that of a god that split the heavens and earth. Between his eyebrows, there was dignity and determination.
"Yes, tower master!
Fight for the plane!
Fight for survival and reproduction!
We, the demon heroes, will not shrink from a fight! "The 81 demon heroes stood up resolutely!
"Competitors from other planes, get out of the way!
Whoever dares to stop us from obtaining the immortal treasure will die! "
… …
On a green planet, the whole planet was lush with plants.
"Naga, you are the most dazzling young man in our plane. When you were in the Meridian Expansion Realm, you completed ten times of meridian expansion and accumulated a glorious achievement of 2000 times!
And now, you have reached the peak of the Talisman Transformation Realm. You have refined the talisman ten times and increased the quality of your true qi by 1000 times … In our plane, among the human race cultivators of the same age, you are the strongest!
And you, you are only 3400 years old now … You are too young!
Perhaps, among the human race demon heroes of the same age in other planes, you will be an invincible existence.
This time, I will let you enter the genius zone to search for immortal fate. You must not disappoint me.
This time, you will enter the genius zone and compete with the human race demon heroes of other planes. What you will fight for is not only treasures, but also fate.
Do you understand, Naga? "
A bald old man in a white robe said slowly.
On his forehead, there was a black eyeball that emitted a whirlpool-like power, as if it wanted to swallow the whole world.
Beside him, there was a chestnut-haired young man in hemp clothes with a sword on his back.
His expression was extremely cold.
Suddenly, around this old man in a white robe and the chestnut-haired young man in hemp clothes, many ferocious and terrifying demons appeared!
Demon qi soared to the sky!
"Naga, these are 1000 ultimate variant demon emperors. I used my divine ability to capture them from the demon capital. Now, I want you to kill all of these 1000 ultimate variant demon emperors within 30 breaths!
Can you do it? "
"Tsk ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" The corner of the chestnut-haired young man's mouth twitched disdainfully.
In the next moment …
A blood-red sword light lit up!
The figure of the chestnut-haired young man suddenly became blurry and almost disappeared!
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
Immediately after, the sword light spread out like a tide!
Demon blood splattered everywhere!
In an extremely short period of time, a total of 1000 ultimate variant demon emperors were all killed!
One by one, their demon bodies were cut into pieces by the sword light!
"25 breaths …" The chestnut-haired young man in hemp clothes smiled coldly.
"Hahahahaha!
Good!
Naga, get ready to enter the genius zone!
Hahahahaha!
Bring back some immortal pills for me! "The old man in white robe laughed with satisfaction.
"Your Great Accomplishment Sword Intent is already perfect and impeccable. It can kill any existence that tries to provoke you!
Hahahaha! "
…
"Dong dong ~ ~ Dong dong dong ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
A shirtless big man ran quickly with bare feet. In front of him, the tip of a tall tower could be vaguely seen.
The big man suddenly stopped. Under the sky full of sunlight, the corner of his mouth twitched arrogantly.
"Heh, the Tower Master sent me a message, saying that there is some immortal cave abode, asking me to explore … Good, very good … genius zone?
Hehe, sounds pretty good … "
"Dong dong ~ ~ ~ ~ Dong dong ~ ~ ~ ~" The big man continued to run. Behind him, there was a mountain of demon emperor corpses!
…
In a plane with a vast area.
There was not a bit of demon qi in this plane.
The sky was blue and clear.
The human race lived in peace and contentment.
As early as 100,000 years ago, all the demon race in this plane had been killed by the demon warriors of the human race!
Extinct!
A continuous mountain range rose and fell.
On a towering mountain peak, there was an ancient palace built on it. The entire surface of the palace wall was covered with all kinds of complicated carvings.
In the main hall of the palace.
On the throne, there was a purple-eyed man wearing a bright white robe. His eyes seemed to be looking from another space, making people's hearts palpitate and collapse.
On both sides below him, there were hundreds of indescribably powerful creatures of the human race. Each of them faintly emitted a fluctuation that made the heaven and earth tremble, as if they could tear the heaven and earth apart with just a raise of their hands.
"Tower Master, our plane has achieved the great unification of the human race for 100,000 years … We are a relatively strong plane among the many ordinary planes.
In the history, a total of 12 immortals have broken the void and ascended from our plane … But now, the immortal qi of our plane is almost … exhausted.
Therefore, we have lost the chance to condense the immortal body and ascend to the Immortal World … "A red-robed middle-aged man reported to the white-robed man with purple eyes.
"Yes, the resources have been exhausted by the sages.
So we can't condense the immortal body for a long time.
I also gradually feel that my life is approaching the end.
Although I'm called immortal, it doesn't mean I won't die … Unless I can condense the immortal body, become an immortal, and ascend to the Immortal World, then become immortal!
If I don't become an immortal, there's no need to talk about anything.
My soul will shatter and turn into powder. "There was a hint of loneliness in the white-robed man's eyes.
But very quickly, his eyes burned with a crazy excitement!
"Now's our chance!
There are endless immortal pills in the genius zone that can help us all become immortals!!!
Hahahahaha!
It's time for our warriors to prepare to enter the genius zone!
Hahahaha!
The humans of other planes are lowly. No plane can compete with the geniuses of our plane!
None!!! "
The white-robed man with purple eyes let out an enraged roar. An invisible aura burst out from his body, melting the surrounding space into nothingness. "Any living being that stands in our way will be destroyed!
If anyone dares to jump out, I'll destroy their plane!!!! "
His maniacal roar reverberated across the vast plane.
