NOVEL NEXT Chapter 253: Universe Ranking Battle Opens
"Heh heh, heh heh..."
Linley chuckled foolishly, rubbing his head.
Linley truly held no disrespect for his second brother, Roy.
It was simply that his second brother, Roy, was an absolute monster.
It had only been ten million years since the creation of the universe, and Roy had already far surpassed both him and their eldest brother.
This left Linley with no desire to even try and catch up.
But his eldest brother was different.
Like him, Eldest Brother Hong Meng had also created a universe and obtained the Xuanhuang Qi born from its creation, cultivating the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body.
When he was at the Hong Meng Body stage, Eldest Brother Hong Meng was nurtured by the Primordial Space and was himself the most concentrated Hong Meng Qi, only a hair's breadth away from liquefying the Hong Meng Qi for the completion of the Hong Meng Body.
Linley's Hong Meng Body, however, was merely tempered by Hong Meng Qi fused from the Sovereign Power of the four elements—earth, wind, water, and fire—making it the lowest grade of Hong Meng Body.
It was inferior to a Hong Meng Body refined from Hong Meng Qi fused from the Five Elements—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
If not for the flaw in the first universe Hong Meng created, and the fact that Linley had gained experience from both Hong Meng and Roy's universe creation, making his own universe's stability superior to Hong Meng's universe, and obtaining more Xuanhuang Qi than Hong Meng, Linley's final cultivated Xuanhuang Indestructible Body was not inferior to Hong Meng's.
Linley still dared to imagine surpassing Eldest Brother Hong Meng.
The three brothers flew past the Level 2 floating island at an altitude of fifty thousand meters. The moment they saw the four massive gates at an altitude of one hundred thousand meters.
"Second brother, what is this?"
Looking at these four Heavenly Gates, as well as the names inscribed on them representing them, Hong Meng and Linley had some guesses. They then turned their gaze toward Roy.
"Eldest brother, third brother, since all other Hong Meng Controllers have floating islands, we three brothers naturally have our own Heavenly Palace."
"Behind these four Heavenly Gates is the Heavenly Palace I engraved into the River of Time and Space."
"Behind the Heavenly Palace is a separate world. Its area and spatial strength are no weaker than the Hong Meng Realm."
"When the Starry Sky Universe grows sufficiently powerful, perhaps Eldest Brother and Third Brother can even place your own universes within the Heavenly Palace."
That was right. When Roy created the Hong Meng Realm, he had already been planning for the future.
Roy himself knew where he had come from to the Magic Universe.
In his previous life, who was the mysterious being on that blue planet who enjoyed tomatoes and wrote the destiny of "Linley"?
And how had he transmigrated from such a world into the Magic Universe created by Hong Meng?
Hong Meng could not discern or understand this. The power that allowed him to transmigrate into the Magic Universe was beyond Hong Meng's level.
Therefore, above the Primordial Space, there must be at least one, or even several, layers of space.
The truth behind Roy's transmigration was likely in a higher layer of space above the Primordial Space.
However, Roy was not yet ready.
Even if he were to break through the Primordial Space, he would wait until his Starry Sky Universe had grown to its absolute limit before making his move.
The stronger the Starry Sky Universe, the stronger Roy himself would become.
With greater strength, he would have a certain ability to cope with any crises he might encounter after breaking through the Primordial Space.
Moreover, Fourth Brother Qin Yu and Qin Meng had not yet appeared. If Roy were to break through the Primordial Space now, could Qin Meng still appear?
Compared to Hong Meng and Linley, Roy felt that Qin Yu and he were of the same kind.
Hong Meng was nurtured by the Primordial Space, born with supreme nobility.
Linley had heaven-defying luck. Even without Delin Kewote's protection, he had encountered good fortune at every turn, ultimately completing his four-element soul mutation and achieving the ultimate leap.
What about Qin Yu?
He was naturally unsuited for cultivation, yet he had achieved innate physical strength through his own powerful willpower. After obtaining half of the "Star Transformation" created by Lei Wei, he began his rise.
Roy believed that Qin Yu had the potential to recreate an Eternal True Realm like himself, reaching his current level.
Furthermore, Qin Yu and he cultivated "Star Transformation." Although the ultimate universes they cultivated were different due to the differences in their universes, their general cultivation *approach* and the direction of their progress should provide many common topics for conversation.
After bringing Hong Meng and Linley to experience their respective Heavenly Palaces, both Hong Meng and Linley decided that they would reside in the Hong Meng Realm more often in the future.
Indeed, compared to Roy's Heavenly Palace in the Hong Meng Realm, their residences in their own universes were like dilapidated villages.
After Hong Meng and Linley departed, Roy projected his consciousness into the Starry Sky Universe.
Through his connection with the Heavenly Dao of the Starry Sky Universe, Roy quickly learned about its current situation.
Emperor level experts had a lifespan of twelve thousand years.
Even powerful Quasi Heavenly Emperors and Heavenly Emperors had a lifespan of only a hundred thousand years.
The Starry Sky Universe was Roy's nursery.
The greatest role of the beings within it was to create new laws for Roy's Starry Sky Universe, and then for themselves or later generations to deduce these laws to the Supreme level bit by bit.
With the limitation of lifespan, the beings in the Starry Sky Universe would do everything they could to improve themselves and perfect various laws for Roy, and then deduce them to the Supreme level.
Currently, there were twenty-six Supreme Laws of Immortal Dao in the Starry Sky Universe.
In addition to those Roy had brought back from the Magic Universe, eleven later arrivals in the Starry Sky Universe had also achieved the Immortal Dao.
Yes, Lilia had not yet advanced her Reincarnation Law to the highest level, making her the only Heavenly Emperor among the seventeen.
However, with her mastery of the Reincarnation Law, the cycle of life and death, and the ten-thousand-year lifespan limit of the Heavenly Emperor realm were no hindrance to her.
Lilia, as a Heavenly Emperor enjoying an infinite lifespan, was truly unique in the Starry Sky Universe.
Of course, the others weren't without ways to postpone their lifespan limit, but they had all broken through to higher realms before reaching their limit, thus extending their lifespans even further. Naturally, no one paid much attention to Lilia.
There were forty-six perfected Laws in total.
As for Emperor Dao Laws, there were already six hundred and thirty-seven kinds.
This meant that in the past nearly ten million years, the Starry Sky Universe had gained over seven hundred Laws.
The strength of the Starry Sky Universe was now tens of times greater than at its beginning.
The greatest testament to the strength of the Starry Sky Universe was the current strength of the Hong Meng Realm.
Previously, Hong Meng lifeforms could destroy one layer of space in the Hong Meng Realm. Now, even with their full strength, Hong Meng lifeforms could only break through the space within a certain range around them; they couldn't shatter the realm as a whole.
As for Roy, who had become stronger due to the enhancement of the Starry Sky Universe, his physical strength alone now surpassed Hong Meng's Xuanhuang Indestructible Body by a small margin.
This was because Roy had just tested it himself; one punch from him could shatter over seventy layers of space in the Hong Meng Realm.
Given the current spatial strength of the Hong Meng Realm, even if Hong Meng himself were to attack again, he would likely only be able to shatter around fifty layers of space.
The Space-Time Body's enhancement of physical strength and physique was merely a secondary benefit.
Yet, even so, Roy's current physical strength had already surpassed the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body by a notch.
Not to mention how much stronger Roy would become when he utilized Space-Time Power.
After testing his strength, Roy left the Hong Meng Realm.
The battlefield for the first Universe Ranking Battle was in the River of Time and Space within the Starry Sky Universe.
The Hong Meng Realm was located in the future of the Starry Sky Universe's River of Time and Space. While Roy could influence the past from the future, it wasn't impossible for him.
However, a mere Universe Ranking Battle that occurred only once every ten million years wasn't worth Roy expending such great effort to alter the past from the future.
It was more convenient and less labor-intensive for him to return to the present and handle everything right now.
...
"Buzz!"
On this day, countless beings within the Starry Sky Universe, the Hong Meng Universe, and the Lin Meng Universe suddenly had an image appear in their minds.
It was a tall and majestic man. He reached out and grasped from the void, gathering a large amount of grey, terrifying energy in his palm. This energy condensed and evolved, ultimately forming a universe with a round sky and square earth.
Immediately after, mountains, rivers, plants, trees, sun, moon, stars, snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds, and beasts were born within this universe.
At the same time, a realization dawned upon them.
—The Universe Ranking Battle, held once every ten million years, has begun!
As this thought arose, the skies of their respective universes transformed into screens, displaying the universe that had been created by the majestic figure.
However, the universe that appeared as small as a mere pellet in the hand of the majestic figure was now immeasurably vast on the sky screen.
Simultaneously, on the right side of this void, there were several lines of ancient script.
Although they didn't recognize the script, as soon as everyone saw it, they immediately understood its meaning.
Hong Meng Space, First Universe Ranking Battle.
Participating Universes:
Hong Meng Universe
Lin Meng Universe
Starry Sky Universe
Participation Rules:
All beings born within the past ten million years can participate. Simply think "participate" and you will be instantly teleported to the battlefield.
The battlefield for the Universe Ranking Battle will shrink by one unit each day, disappearing completely after one hundred days.
Within these one hundred days, participants who enter the battlefield must do everything in their power to survive.
This ranking battle has no limits on rules or methods.
Your ranking will be determined by the duration of your survival until the very end.
Furthermore, being eliminated in the Plane War does not mean actual death; you will be sent back to the position from which you entered the Plane War.
Of course, every competition has its rewards.
Entering the top one million on the leaderboard will earn you one Planet-level Wish.
Entering the top one hundred thousand on the leaderboard will earn you one Star-level Wish.
Entering the top ten thousand on the leaderboard will earn you one Constellation-level Wish.
Entering the top one thousand on the leaderboard will earn you one Galaxy-level Wish.
Entering the top one hundred on the leaderboard will earn you one Starfield-level Wish.
Entering the top ten grants three Starfield-level Wishes.
The top three will receive a personal audience with the creators of the three universes and be rewarded by them.
Due to the vast differences between universes, many people don't understand what "Planet," "Star," or "Constellation" mean. However, by focusing on the rewards, they will instantly comprehend.
A "planet" refers to the planet or plane one lives on, and a "star" is their sun.
A "constellation" is a pattern formed by dozens of suns.
