Chapter 163 The Curtain Falls
In the central square, everyone's eyes were focused on the highest arena.
Bolan and Lin Yun faced each other from a distance. White robes and a blood-stained sword, purple lightning battle blade—these represented the two pinnacles of power in this year's Genius Battle.
In mid-air, the voice of the man in the cyan battle robe with purple scales drifted out calmly: "The final match is between Bolan and Lin Yun. The winner will be the first place winner of this year's Genius Battle, and the loser will be the second place winner. Both will enter the Primal Secret Realm."
"The final battle in the arena begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Berlan's figure became blurry.
He activated the laws of space to their fullest extent, leaving behind thousands of illusory figures in the air, densely packed and blotting out the sky. Each illusory figure was as real as a real person, clad in white robes and wielding a blood-red sword, exuding a sharp sword intent. Thousands of illusory figures simultaneously attacked Lin Yun from all directions, blood swords raining down and sword intent surging like a tide.
"Good heavens! Thousands of illusory bodies!"
"Death God Berlan has been hiding his true strength all along!"
"Is this his true strength?"
A gasp rippled through the central square. The 1000 genius elites stared in disbelief, while the 1008 powerful immortals were also deeply moved. Bolan's understanding of spatial laws had far surpassed the level expected of a Heng-star level being. A genius appearing only once every ten million years—truly deserving of the title.
Lin Yun stood calmly in the center of the arena.
His lightning domain expanded to its full potential, purple lightning enveloping a hundred-meter radius around him. The resonant power of the lightning slightly distorted space, attempting to disrupt Berlan's illusory forms. However, Berlan had too many illusory forms; thousands of figures attacked simultaneously, and Lin Yun's lightning domain simply couldn't cover them all.
"Heavenly Thunder Break!"
Lin Yun unleashed a slash, the lightning bolts as thin as hair, heading straight for Bolan's true form. However, the lightning bolts passed through an illusion, which vanished like a bubble, while Bolan's real body had already moved to another location.
"The Law of Lightning is powerful, but it cannot strike me." Berlan's voice came from all directions, ethereal and otherworldly. "Lin Yun, if this is all you've got, you are no match for me."
Lin Yun frowned slightly. His Thunder Law had already achieved minor mastery, and the three profound mysteries had been fully integrated. The power of the Heavenly Profound Thunder Break was enough to instantly kill any opponent at the Eternal Star level. However, Bolan's spatial laws were too strange. Thousands of illusory bodies made it impossible for him to lock onto his true form, and even the strongest attacks were futile if they couldn't hit him.
"Berlan's understanding of spatial laws has reached an extremely high level of the 'Myriad Streams' technique." In the distance, the giant in the scale armor robe said in a low voice, "Thousands of illusory bodies have never been seen in the constellation."
"Although Lin Yun's Law of Lightning is strong, it is still restrained by the Law of Space." The immortal beside him shook his head.
"It looks like Berlan is going to win."
Bolan's phantom attacked again, his blood-red sword carrying a sharp sword intent, stabbing at Lin Yun from all directions. Lin Yun swung his sword to block, but there were too many phantoms, and wounds began to appear on his body.
"Those ranked 11th to 100th will receive a bonus of 100 Hunyuan Units, 1000 points, and will be able to enter the Initial Universe for enlightenment and join the core of my Virtual Universe Company, 'Heaven and Earth Secret Realm'."
"Third to tenth place winners will receive a prize of 1000 Chaos Units, 10000 points, and the opportunity to enter the Initial Universe for enlightenment and join the core of my Virtual Universe Company, the 'Primordial Secret Realm'."
"The first place winner will receive a prize of 10,000 Chaos Units, 100,000 points, the right to enter the Initial Universe for enlightenment, and the right to join the core of my Virtual Universe Company, the 'Primordial Secret Realm'."
"The first place winner will receive a prize of 10,000 Chaos Units, 100,000 points, the right to enter the Initial Universe for enlightenment, and the right to join the core of my Virtual Universe Company, the 'Primordial Secret Realm'."
The man in the cyan battle robe with purple scales paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Lin Yun and Bolan.
"The winners of this year's Genius Battle are: First Place - Lin Yun (Qianwu Universe Kingdom)! Second Place - Bo Lan (Noah Universe Kingdom)! Both have entered the Primal Secret Realm."
Congratulations!
Thunderous applause and deafening cheers filled the air.
Lin Yun stood on the arena, his face calm, but his eyes gleaming. He had succeeded in conquering the Primal Secret Realm.
Luo Feng walked over and punched Lin Yun on the shoulder: "First place! Congratulations!"
"You're not bad either," Lin Yun said with a smile. "Third place in the Primordial Secret Realm."
"That's not enough," Luo Feng shook his head. "I need to keep working hard."
Rong Jun also walked over, looking at Lin Yun with admiration in his eyes: "Your Wind God Seven Kills is very strong. I hope we'll have the chance to fight again in the future."
"You're welcome anytime," Lin Yun said.
Qian Shui, Wu Ka, Ai Chen, Long Yun, and others also came over to congratulate Lin Yun. Although they were competitors, they respected and admired each other more than anything else.
Hong and Lei Shen also stepped out from the crowd and came to Lin Yun's side.
"Lin Yun, first place!" Thor shouted excitedly. "You are the pride of all Earthlings!"
"You guys are pretty good too," Lin Yun said. "The Apocalyptic Secret Realm will offer opportunities to advance further in the future."
"Yes." Hong nodded. "This is just the beginning."
The four of them exchanged glances, and each saw determination in the other's eyes.
In mid-air, the voice of the man in the cyan battle robe and purple scales rang out again: "The Genius Battle has officially ended. All participants, staff will contact you shortly, and someone will pick you up and take you to the Virtual Universe Company headquarters!"
"Now, disband freely."
His figure disappeared into the void.
In the central square, 1000 brilliant elites dispersed in twos and threes. Some were excited, some were disappointed, some were calm, and some were hopeful.
Lin Yun, Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Hong, and Lei Shen stood together, looking at their competitors around them.
"From now on, we will be the core members of Virtual Universe Company," Luo Feng said.
"Primordial Realm, Primordial Realm, Apocalyptic Realm..." Thor sighed, "Although the realms are different, we are all in the same place."
"Yes." Hong nodded. "The road ahead is long, and we must continue to work hard."
"Well said," Rong Jun said in a deep voice, "No matter which secret realm you're in, you must become the strongest."
The five of them exchanged a glance and then laughed.
Lin Yun looked up at the sky of the virtual universe, and an unprecedented sense of peace welled up in his heart.
The battle of geniuses has ended. He went from an ordinary boy on Earth to the pinnacle of humanity's cosmic realm, winning first place and entering the primordial secret realm.
But this is only the beginning.
The true path of cultivation has only just begun.
"The initial universe..." Lin Yun said softly, "I've arrived."
