Under Jiang Yan's calm, indifferent gaze—
A towering figure wielding a massive tomahawk burst violently into the room, riding a gale of compressed air.
"Kid, you're unlucky!"
The burly man bared his yellowed teeth in a savage grin, his voice hoarse like rusted iron scraping stone.
"I happened to spawn right next door."
"That makes you the first kill of my qualifiers!"
As his words fell—
He stomped down hard.
BOOM!
Under gravity exceeding ten thousand times Earth, his movement showed not the slightest hesitation. The giant axe howled as it cleaved through the air, chopping straight toward Jiang Yan's head.
Jiang Yan remained seated.
One hand rested casually on the sofa's armrest, fingertips tapping lightly.
No panic.
No urgency.
Seeing this, Gena sneered inwardly.
Scared stiff.
But in the next instant—
His pupils contracted violently.
Instant Kill
The axe descended—
Yet the expected spray of blood never came.
The Jiang Yan on the sofa—
Was an afterimage.
"WHAT?!"
Before Gena could react—
A streak of golden lightning erupted behind him.
His body stiffened as he turned mechanically.
Behind him stood Jiang Yan, purple-gold battle spear in hand, expression calm to the point of indifference.
That scene—
Was the final image etched into Gena's consciousness.
The spear moved.
No grand momentum.
No exaggerated force.
It was as casual as swatting an insect.
Yet—
Gena's face twisted in absolute terror.
Before even a thought could form—
The Thunder Shadow Spear struck.
PU!
The spear tip pierced cleanly through his brow.
BOOM!
Gena's head exploded like an overripe fruit.
Blood and bone fragments scattered—
Yet Jiang Yan stood spotless, untouched.
The massive headless body froze for half a second—
Then collapsed heavily onto the ground.
Thud.
Immediately after, the corpse dissolved into nothingness.
—Forcefully eliminated by the Virtual Universe system.
Gena's Elimination
Back in the Virtual Universe hub, Gena's figure reappeared.
His face twisted with rage and despair.
"Damn it… damn it!!"
"The first opponent I found was a monster like that?!"
"I'm not reconciled!!"
World Area 21 · Ranking Update
Back in Fengyue City—
Jiang Yan glanced down at the display on his wrist.
Participant: Jiang Yan (Heilongshan Empire)
Points: 1
Ranking: 312,654,896
Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow.
"Interesting."
"The qualifiers haven't even started for two minutes…"
"And over three hundred million people are already dead in this world."
The logic was simple:
No kills → no rankingKill once → ranked
With only one point, he was already ranked over three hundred million.
Which meant—
Over three hundred million Stellar geniuses had already been eliminated.
"The opening phase is always the bloodiest."
"A 2,100-square-kilometer continent…"
"Stuffed with 8.2 billion people."
He smiled faintly.
Decision: No More Low Profile
"I'm strong enough."
"And I'm not afraid of being surrounded."
"No reason to hide."
His gaze sharpened.
"I'll start by sweeping Eastern Fengyue City."
His goal—
Was never merely entering the top 1,001.
He wanted first place.
"Thirty days."
"One city every six days."
"Clearing five cities should secure first place."
Taking to the Sky
Whoosh!
The telekinetic weapon Dun Tianshuo shot out from the storage ring.
Jiang Yan stepped onto it effortlessly and rocketed skyward.
At his current level—
The escape shuttle was nothing more than a means of flight.
For offense—
He wielded a Divine Weapon.
Yan Divine Soldier
Jiang Yan's cultivation now focused on law fusion, guided by:
Thunder Prison Town Demon CodexFour Elephant Spear Code
His chosen fusion path—
Golden Void (Metal + Space).
And the Yan Divine Soldier was precisely a telekinetic weapon aligned to the Golden Void Law.
One of the Nine Divine Weapons of the Spiritual Nian Master lineage.
It possessed nine forms:
Phantom SwordPiercing the SkyHeavenly SwordSubtlety Without SkillSpace SeveranceDomain of the SelfOne Strike to Shatter Heaven and EarthGolden Sword Slashes the VoidImmortals Fall Before Me
With his current comprehension of Space Law and Metal Law—
Jiang Yan could already wield the Fourth Form.
First Shockwave
The moment he rose above the residential district—
The sound of battle erupted from all directions.
"Heh—so arrogant."
"Looking for death!"
A cold sneer rang out.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several flying knives shot toward Jiang Yan like lightning.
A Spiritual Nian Master trying to ambush him.
Jiang Yan's gaze shifted slightly.
Inside a nearby building—
A delicate-looking man stared at him with a smug grin.
The next instant—
That grin froze.
BOOM!
The man's head exploded without warning.
His body vanished immediately.
—Eliminated.
Jiang Yan casually flicked his spear, deflecting the incoming flying knives.
"Such weak consciousness."
He shook his head.
Between controller, illusionist, and melee combatant—
He excelled in all three.
After all—
Thunder Prison Town Demon Codex was a peak illusionist inheritance.
And Four Elephant Spear Code and Demon Hidden God-Slaying Codex—
Were pure close-combat killing arts.
Domain Unleashed
"Tch."
"Too slow killing them one by one."
Jiang Yan's eyes turned cold.
In his heart, he spoke a single phrase:
"Thunder Prison Demon Domain."
BOOM!!!
The domain descended.
Dark thunder and oppressive force crushed downward—
Engulfing Fengyue City.
This was not mercy.
This was domination.
Without Luo Feng, Hong, or Thor present—
There was no reason to hold back.
He would establish absolute authority.
Limitation Realized
Jiang Yan frowned slightly.
"Hm?"
"The domain's range… only tens of kilometers?"
Then realization struck.
"Right."
"In the Virtual Universe—"
"Physical fitness and telekinesis are capped at Stellar Rank Nine."
Not his real-world strength.
Still—
He smiled.
"Tens of kilometers is more than enough."
Shock the World
This was only the beginning.
The qualifiers—
Had just learned what fear meant.
The Divine Soldier had drawn its blade.
And World Area 21—
Was about to drown in thunder.
