In the Core Region of the Virtual Universe Company, the Primal Secret Realm Universe Level has a regular quota of 3 people, while the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm Universe Level has a regular quota of 30 people.
After Kriya and Ural broke through to Domain Master, the current Primal Secret Realm Universe Level members are 3, and the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm Universe Level members are 37 (one person died).
According to the rules of the Secret Realm Battle, after each Secret Realm Battle, except for the Last Phase Secret Realm, the other three Secret Realms will return to their regular quotas. If there are too many, some will be eliminated; if there are too few, more will be promoted to fill the spots.
For the Primal Secret Realm Universe Level Battle, a round-robin tournament will first be held within the Primal Secret Realm itself. The top two will retain their Primal Secret Realm spots, while the members ranked after them will need to participate in a round-robin tournament with the top three from the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm to contend for the sole remaining Primal Secret Realm spot!
… …
"The Secret Realm Battle has begun."
"This time, I want to rush into the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm!"
"No matter what, I must secure my Absolute Beginning Secret Realm spot. If I fall into the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, my status and resources will be greatly reduced."
This Universe Level Secret Realm Battle was somewhat different from previous ones. Although many people in the Primal Secret Realm wanted to enter, when they saw the Law comprehension levels of the three Primal Secret Realm members, even many veteran cultivators from the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm weren't very confident.
As a result, many Universe Level Core Region members focused their attention on the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm, making it the focal point of this Universe Level Secret Realm Battle. Under such circumstances, the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm's Secret Realm Battle began!
Of course, there were exceptions, such as the Core Region members at the Domain Master or World Master Level. Their attention was still on the three individuals in the Primal Secret Realm, as these three would become their opponents in the future, and they should naturally pay attention.
Besides the Core Region members who had not yet become Immortals, powerhouses at the Immortal level, and the high-ranking Universe Venerables of the Virtual Universe Company, also focused on the Primal Secret Realm Battle. However, what they cared more about was the duel between Ender and Kedi!
… …
Primal Secret Realm, Purgatory Abyss.
Ender was still sitting in the cave beneath the mural, looking up at the mural above. He had maintained this posture for over fifty years.
"Cultivating knows no time," he suddenly thought to himself, stretching his neck. "I've been comprehending the mural in this Purgatory Abyss. If it weren't for Seventh Senior Brother giving me pointers every ten years and the Secret Realm Battle alarm reminding me, I might have missed the Secret Realm Battle due to Cultivating."
"I cannot fully immerse my consciousness in the Virtual Universe; I need to keep a small part of my consciousness in reality to stay vigilant."
Ender entered the Virtual Universe and adapted to his body for a while. "I can exert 80% of my full-immersion strength. I wonder if this strength is enough to defeat Wu Xuewen."
His goal was clear: as long as he defeated Wu Xuewen in the internal round-robin tournament, he would be able to remain in the Primal Secret Realm.
For this, he had collected a lot of information about Wu Xuewen. She was a Spiritual Master who Cultivated the 'Light Origin Law' and 'Time Origin Law', and she used a fifth-tier Spirit Weapon called 'Time Wheel'!
"Ender, the first battle of the Primal Secret Realm members' internal round-robin tournament has begun. Your opponent is Wu Xuewen!"
The Virtual Universe System's voice rang out, and the next moment he was teleported to the battle space.
… …
Yu Xiang Mountain Primal Secret Realm, Manor No. 111.
Wu Xuewen sat on the sofa, intently watching the light screen in front of her, which displayed Ender's information.
Her goal in this Secret Realm Battle was very clear: to defeat Ender, her competitor whose Law comprehension was also at the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge!
"Wu Xuewen, the first battle of the Primal Secret Realm internal round-robin tournament has begun. Your opponent is Ender!"
The Virtual Universe System's voice rang out, making Wu Xuewen's bright eyes light up. "My first battle is directly against my competitor. This truly surprises me."
Whoosh!
A white light flashed, and Wu Xuewen was also teleported to the battle space.
… …
The north wind howled, and snowflakes drifted down.
In the vast white world of snow, Ender, clad in black battle armor, stood amidst the wind and snow. His ferocious black gauntlets were clasped behind his back. The cold north wind could not disturb him in the slightest, and snowflakes melted within a few meters of his body.
In the distance, Wu Xuewen also appeared in the wind and snow at the same moment. Behind her, a translucent light wheel slowly rotated. Clad in white battle armor, she seemed to blend into this world of snow, cool and beautiful.
"Ender!"
She stepped on a winged Spirit Weapon, her gaze solemn as she looked at her opponent in the distance—a very young powerhouse whose Law comprehension was the same as hers!
Ender looked at Wu Xuewen, who seemed to merge with the world of snow, and said indifferently, "This is our first encounter."
"Indeed, it's our first encounter," Wu Xuewen's cool voice rang out. "But I will be the victor!"
"Who wins and who loses, only after battling will we know." Ender's expression was calm, but his eyes were filled with Battle Intent. "So, battle!"
Whoosh!
Ender's figure flashed, like a black lightning bolt, cutting through this pure white world of snow. Numerous incredibly real figures appeared, attacking Wu Xuewen from all directions!
Boom!
Wu Xuewen's will moved, and endless light burst forth behind her, resembling countless threads covering the sky and earth, piercing towards each of Ender's real figures. It was as if light dispelled darkness, dissolving all real figures into nothingness!
Roar!
A Beast God seemed to roar, sharp and fierce!
Then, a huge claw shadow appeared, as if a Beast God's sharp claw had descended. The Law power contained within it was terrifying, directly tearing through the countless threads of light and striking down from above towards Wu Xuewen, the source of the light!
Annihilation Two!
Beast God Strike!
"Break!"
Wu Xuewen let out a cold shout. Time Law fluctuated violently, and endless light condensed, forming a giant sword shimmering with golden light, thrusting towards the giant claw shadow in the sky, with the momentum to break through the heavens!
Clang!
A deafening metallic collision sound rang out, and invisible shockwaves spread in all directions. Countless snowflakes were shattered, and Wu Xuewen's long black hair flew backward.
The golden light giant sword was exceptionally powerful, shattering the giant claw shadow. At this moment, Ender's figure appeared. Although his body was repelled, he still blocked the golden giant sword with one hand.
"What?!"
Wu Xuewen's expression changed. This golden giant sword was her strongest Move.
Although she was somewhat unaccustomed to using it, the fact that Ender had blocked it so easily naturally shocked her!
Then, Ender struck out with another claw, hitting the golden giant sword.
Whoosh!
A mournful cry sounded. The golden giant sword trembled continuously, its golden light flickering erratically, showing signs of collapse!
"Condense!"
Wu Xuewen let out a fierce shout, and her Spiritual Force surged out, continuously injecting into the golden giant sword, forcibly condensing the golden giant sword that was about to dissipate!
Whoosh!
The golden great sword shone brightly, breaking free from Ender's hand, and then rapidly retreated.
"Break!"
With a loud shout from Wu Xuewen, the golden giant sword soared into the sky, transforming into a golden stream of light that pierced towards Ender.
"A bit stiff!"
Ender did not dodge or evade. With his hands, wearing ferocious gauntlets, he suddenly clapped them together in front of him.
Bang!
The timing was perfect. Just as the golden giant sword was about to strike Ender, his hands clapped onto the golden giant sword.
Crack, crack, crack… Subtle cracking sounds rang out. The golden giant sword, held by Ender's clasped hands, dimmed, and tiny cracks appeared on its blade, quickly spreading throughout the entire sword body!
With a "snap," the golden giant sword shattered, and light dissipated from the fragments. Then, the golden giant sword transformed into various Spirit Weapon components.
Pfft!
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. Wu Xuewen felt incredibly incredulous. Their Law comprehension was both at the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge, so why could Ender block her attack?
Whoosh!
Ender's figure flashed, already appearing behind Wu Xuewen. He slapped the back of her head with one hand, and instantly, a shower of blood appeared.
"The last Move of the Time Wheel requires Law comprehension to reach the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge to be perfectly executed."
Ender muttered softly, "Although you can execute this Move, and its power approaches the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, such a Move is too stiff!"
"If you had fought with the Moves you used when challenging the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge, I could still win against you, but it wouldn't be this easy."
… …
Among the Core Region members watching Ender and Wu Xuewen's battle, many familiar individuals watched together, which led them to discuss.
"He won just like that?!"
"Ender won a bit too easily."
"That Wu Xuewen's strength is also considerable; she can execute the last Move of the Time Wheel, but it's a pity it's too stiff."
"It's normal for him to win. Ender's Law comprehension seems to have improved further. Judging from the strength he displayed, he's probably capable of passing the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, or at least very close."
"Tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge?! How long has he been in the Primal Secret Realm? Counting the thirty years in Primal Chaos City, it's only two hundred years! This Law comprehension speed is simply too monstrous!"
Besides those Core Region members, the Immortal King-level Immortal watching were also amazed. With their Law comprehension levels, they could naturally see that Ender's Law comprehension had improved again, and this speed of improvement was truly monstrous!
The Universe Venerables watching had a much more normal mindset. After all, before they rose to prominence, which of them wasn't a Prodigy Genius? Some had even left their peers far behind.
… …
"I lost!"
Wu Xuewen, back in her manor room, sat on the sofa with a frown. Losing was within her expectations, but she hadn't expected to lose so miserably!
"The last Move of the Time Wheel, when I execute it, its power approaches the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge. It shouldn't be blocked so easily."
She thought and recalled carefully, battle images with Ender constantly surfacing in her mind, and she suddenly understood, "It's the problem with this last Move. Executing this Move with my Law comprehension is a bit forced. Against powerhouses of the same level, it's not as good as the Moves I used when challenging the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge."
… …
The Primal Secret Realm internal round-robin tournament, Kedi versus Ender, is about to begin!
"Kedi and Ender's duel is coming so soon."
"I thought their duel would be the finale; I didn't expect them to face off in the second match."
"Ender's Law comprehension has advanced another step. I wonder if he can defeat Kedi."
When the next battle roster for the Primal Secret Realm round-robin tournament was released, many Immortal King-level Immortal and Universe Venerables who weren't watching opened their light screens, preparing to watch the duel between two Geniuses who appear once every million epochs.
… …
Yu Xiang Mountain Primal Secret Realm, Manor No. 115.
Ender, in his study, looked at the battle roster on the light screen in front of him and thought to himself, "So I'm fighting Kedi in the second match? I thought I'd have to wait until the third, final match."
"Defeat Kedi?" He shook his head slightly. "There's no hope."
It wasn't Ender belittling himself, but Kedi's strength was very formidable. His Law comprehension had reached the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge before leaving Primal Chaos City, and it was the most difficult tenth level of the Universe Tongtian Bridge!
Now, a hundred years had passed. Even if Kedi's progress speed wasn't as fast as it was during his time in Primal Chaos City, and his Law comprehension hadn't reached the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge, his strength was still superior to his by a notch.
The names of the most difficult to comprehend Universe Primal Chaos Tablet and the most difficult to challenge Universe Tongtian Bridge were not just for show!
After a short rest, the Virtual Universe System's voice rang out in Ender's mind, "Primal Secret Realm internal round-robin tournament, your second battle has begun. Your opponent is Kedi!"
Whoosh!
A white light flashed, and Ender was teleported to the battle space.
… …
What met his eyes was an boundless forest. The air was slightly damp and permeated with the smell of decaying leaves.
"The last time we fought was during the Pinnacle Genius Battle. I lost terribly that time."
Ender, clad in black battle armor, stood in the sky above the forest, his gaze fixed on Kedi, clad in blue and white, also above the forest in the distance.
The two had a good relationship and had drunk together, so the atmosphere wasn't so tense before the battle began.
"This time, you might win against me, but you won't win so easily." Ender's eyes showed Battle Intent. "Let's fight, Kedi!"
Kedi slightly raised the sword in his hand, his tone somewhat helpless, "The result of this battle… might disappoint you."
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two moved simultaneously, like streaks of light and lightning, shooting towards each other. At the same time, figures appeared one by one, instantly adding over a hundred figures.
Compared to the Pinnacle Genius Battle period, Kedi's movement technique had changed a lot. There were no longer so many flashy illusions, only extremely real figures!
Ender's hands, wearing black ferocious gauntlets, contained powerful Space Law power. After years of comprehending the beast god statue, a unique Divine Thought permeated his every Move.
Kedi's single-handed longsword had both Time and Space Law fluctuations coexisting, and each sword contained powerful attack power, as if it could cause space and time to vibrate.
Clang, clang, clang!
The two exchanged blows rapidly, clear metallic collision sounds ringing out continuously. The terrifying, incessant shockwaves shattered the forest below, and the earth was plowed over and over again!
"How could this be?!"
The more Ender fought, the more surprised he became. It wasn't astonishment from being suppressed by overwhelming strength, but rather surprise from Kedi becoming weaker!
In this battle, he was actually able to suppress Kedi, and with a significant advantage at that, an advantage achieved without even using the "Fivefold Extinction Claw"!
Annihilation Two!
Beast God Collision!
Ender executed a secret technique, and a claw shadow appeared, so black it seemed to tear through space, directly breaking through Kedi's defense and piercing through his head!
"Why is this happening?!"
Ender won, but he wasn't happy at all; in fact, he was extremely puzzled.
… …
It wasn't just Ender; the Immortal King and Universe Venerables watching the battle were also like this, and the next battle made them even more dumbfounded.
Because Kedi lost again!
