Chapter 226 Trial of Life and DeathChapter 226 Trial of Life and Death

After talking for a while in Lu Bu’s room, the seven strong men from the Han Empire, like other contestants from the Ganwu Universe Kingdom, chose to go to the central square to meet the strong men from other Universe Kingdoms.

When they entered the square, they were naturally watched by other geniuses again.

”Look, Lu Bu.”

”It’s Lu Bu.”

”I heard that he has the strength to hit the first place in the overall ranking this time.”

”He’s a very powerful guy. I heard that in the preliminaries, he single-handedly eliminated all the world lord-level alien life forms.”

Lu Bu and the other seven people walked together. Out of respect for Lu Bu, Qianwu Cosmos Kingdom also sent a copy of the collected information on strong men from other Cosmos Kingdoms to Lu Bu, but Lu Bu didn’t bother to read it and threw it away casually. Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others.

”Look.” Zhuge Liang pointed to a beautiful girl in a pink gauze dress in the distance, ”Her name is Fleur, she is a mentalist and illusionist. She has the ability to hit the top ten in the overall ranking. She is very, very scary.”

”That one over there.” Zhuge Liang once again pointed to a tall man wearing a golden battle suit in the distance, ”A prince of the Golden Ax Universe Kingdom, a very terrifying warrior. I heard that like you, he has the ability to hit the first place in the universe. strength.”

”Um...” Walking in the central square, Zhuge Liang introduced the others one by one.

In the qualifiers, each universe country has a first place. However, because some strong players did not use their full strength in the qualifiers, and the intensity of the qualifiers was limited, all the world lord-level alien lifeforms in many universe countries’ preliminary worlds were killed, so these predictions The ranking is not necessarily accurate.

In the central square, many contestants were observing and discussing their opponents, and in one of the restaurants on the edge of the square, the leaders of the 1008 universe nations gathered together and chatted casually.

”This young man named ’Lu Bu’ has started to create his own secret combat methods when he was only at the cosmic level, and he has vaguely begun to walk his own path. He also has a strong understanding of the original law, which is very suitable for the needs of the giant axe fighting arena. ”

”Yes, the Giant Ax Fighting Arena has always favored geniuses in combat. On the contrary, they don’t pay much attention to the original laws. This Lu Bu really suits their appetite.”

”Perhaps after hundreds of millions of years, another strong man who will be famous among hundreds of millions of people will appear in the Giant Ax Arena.”

”Haha... If he didn’t fall midway, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to become king.”

”But the problem is, the training method of the Giant Ax Arena has a much greater chance of death than that of the Virtual Universe Company.”

”That’s true, but as long as he doesn’t die, the chance of a strong man emerging from the giant axe fighting field is high.”

A group of immortals started a heated discussion about the cultivation of new blood between the Giant Ax Arena and the Virtual Universe Company.

”Haha... What are you discussing? It’s so lively!” A loud voice came from the door.

Immediately, all the immortals turned their heads and saw a handsome man in white robes standing at the main entrance with a smile on his face.

He stood there as if he did not exist, as if he was not in the same time and space as the other immortals present.

boom!

Thousands of immortal beings in the entire restaurant stood up, including the cold ’Ice Jade King’, and all bowed to show respect.

”Honorable Sir!” Thousands of immortals saluted respectfully.

”This time, our giant axe fighting arena is holding a battle of strong men. You all the cosmic nations have given you your full support. I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of our giant axe fighting arena.” The man in white robe said with a smile.

”This is what we should do.” Immortal voices sounded.

”Yes.” The man in white robe smiled and nodded, ”You guys, let’s continue chatting. I’ll gather the young people later.” After saying that, the man in white robe turned and left.

After watching him leave, the thousands of immortals started talking again.

”It turned out to be Lord Eclipse Fire.”

”A being like Lord Eclipse Fire will actually come to preside over the battle of strong men. It seems that the Giant Ax Arena attaches great importance to this battle of strong men.”

”Maybe Lord Eclipse Fire just feels bored and comes out to relax.”

”I heard that Venerable Eclipse Fire is one of the most powerful people in our human race who has the greatest hope of taking a step forward.”

”Speaking of which, Venerable Eclipse Fire also joined the Giant Ax Arena through the battle of peak experts. At that time, Venerable was the undisputed number one person in that session. The shock he brought to various universe nations at that time, It’s much stronger than these little guys right now.”

……

In the evening, Lu Bu and others were chatting in a restaurant when a voice suddenly entered their minds: ”All participants in the 1008 Universe Kingdom, gather in the central square.”

In just a moment, millions of combatants were all standing on the central square.

In front of them, there were 1008 immortal beings leading the team. The pressure naturally exuded by thousands of immortals made the millions of participants stand there quietly, and no one dared to make a sound.

”Welcome to join the peak powerhouse battle held in our giant axe fighting arena.” A gentle voice came into everyone’s mind.

Everyone looked in shock.

In the air in front of the originally empty space, a handsome man in white robes appeared. He stood in the air with a smile on his face, and his faint aura made millions of young people at the universe level tremble involuntarily.

”There are 1008 universe nations. Each universe nation selects a thousand people, and there are more than one million universe-level people in total.” The man in white robe stood in the void, overlooking the millions of combatants below, with a gentle voice, ”We are fighting with giant axes.” In the martial arts field, we must select the strongest one thousand among you and absorb them into the core of our giant ax fighting field.”

”Our Giant Ax Arena has always emphasized that true geniuses can only be selected in real life-and-death battles. Therefore, in the genius battles and strong warriors held in our Giant Ax Arena, death will really occur, and death will occur. The rate is not low, and those who don’t want to participate in the final battle of the universe can still choose to withdraw now.”

After waiting for a moment, none of the millions of people in the entire central square made a sound. Lord Eclipse Fire smiled and nodded: ”Very good, at least now it seems that you all have a strong heart that is not afraid of life and death.” .”

”The rules for tomorrow’s final are as follows.” ”Tomorrow, the final will be held in the large martial arts arena next to it. In the large martial arts arena, there are a total of 1008 small arenas, one for each universe country.”

”According to the domestic numbers in your universe, from weak to strong, one by one will undergo life and death trials.”

”The content of the trial is unlimited challenges. Our Giant Ax Battle Arena transported a large number of foreign captives from the battlefields outside the territory. We at the Giant Ax Battle Arena only conducted basic strength identification on these foreign captives, so various things may happen during the battle. An accident, such as a prisoner deliberately hiding his strength, etc.”

”According to the strength classification we have identified, you will challenge one by one from weak to strong. Until you give up the challenge or are killed by a foreign race, you will continue to challenge the next participant from the beginning.”

”Remember, daring to challenge stronger people is an essential quality for a strong person, but at the same time, having self-awareness is also a necessary quality for becoming a strong person. Otherwise, it is not the heart of a strong person, but pure recklessness. When encountering helplessness, If you are a powerful opponent, remember to give up the challenge in time, otherwise our war supervisors will never rescue people. In every strong battle, there are many participants who are killed because they are too late to give up.”

”The points will be calculated based on your results in the life and death trial.”

”Those who rank in the top 100 points will be directly recruited as core members of our Giant Ax Arena and receive one hundred places.”

”No. 101 - No. 3700, these 3600 people will have a decisive battle in the ring to compete for 900 places. As for the ones after 3700...all will be eliminated!”

”Similar to the life and death trial, participants who do not admit defeat in time may be directly killed. Everyone should pay attention to their own considerations.”

The words of Lord Eclipse Fire made the millions of combatants below stunned.

At this time, a total of 1008000 people participated in the cosmic final battle, which meant that more than one million people were directly eliminated in the first step of the life and death trial. And depending on the intention of Lord Eclipse Fire, many people would die in this life and death trial.

After announcing the rules of the finals, Lord Eclipse Fire left directly, and the 1008 immortal beings also left one by one. Although Lu Bu and the others were confused, they could only go back to their rooms to rest and wait for the decisive battle the next day. .

The next morning.

”Everyone, please get ready and go to the fighting arena for today’s life and death battle.” A deep voice sounded in the minds of all the participants.

”Let’s go, let’s go!” Lu Bu got up and flew outside. Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others also quickly followed. Elsewhere, groups of participants also followed the passages of their respective universe countries in an orderly manner towards the big battle tower next to them. The martial arts field flew away.

The place where the life-and-death battle takes place is the 1008 small arenas at the edge of this large fighting arena. Although they are said to be small arenas, in fact, the diameter of each arena reaches a thousand kilometers, and they are all made of E-class alloy, let alone It’s them who are at the cosmic level, even if they are at the domain lord level, they have no problem in a decisive battle.

There were rows of seats around the ring. Lu Bu and the others followed their leader, the Ice Jade King, into the small ring stand belonging to the Ganwu Universe Kingdom.

brush!

The figure of Lord Eclipse Fire appeared in the mid-air of the Grand Arena. He glanced around all the 1008 small arenas and said, ”The life-and-death battle will begin immediately. In the life-and-death battle, each participant can theoretically encounter up to To 54 opponents.”

”From the first level of Domain Lord level to the ninth level of World Lord level, there are three opponents at each strength level. After killing one, you can have a half-hour rest.”

“域主级一阶的三个对手，击杀后分别获得5、10、15积分，域主级二阶为15、20、25积分，依此类推。”

“界主级一阶的三个对手，击杀后分别获得500、1000、1500，界主级二阶1500、2000、2500，依此类推……”

”When the participants choose to give up the challenge or die, the trial ends.”

”Remind us again, we hope that you can activate your infinite potential in life and death, but self-awareness is also an essential quality for a strong person. When there is absolutely no hope of winning, be careful to give up in time.”

……

”Wen Yuan, Zilong, and the rest of you, remember, don’t be brave when it comes to the trial. You must give up when it’s time to give up. We in the Han Empire don’t have many strong people now and we can’t afford to lose. .” Lu Bu warned solemnly.

”Don’t worry, Fengxian, we all understand.” Zhang Liao nodded.

”There are up to 54 opponents. After killing one, there is still half an hour of rest. Although it is basically impossible for anyone to challenge all the opponents, it takes at least a day or so for a participant to complete his life and death trial. , one thousand participants in each universe country, that is to say, this life and death trial will take about three years in total?” Zhuge Liang said.

”It shouldn’t take that long. I guess many of the weaker opponents in front won’t really rest for half an hour before continuing.” Zhou Yu shook his head and said.

”Yes, but no matter what, those at the back will have an advantage. Although one or two years may not be a big deal, those at the back can watch others go through trials first, which is already a huge advantage. .”

”There is no way. This giant ax fighting arena has made it clear that they only value those strong men who may be absorbed into the core layer. Those at the back will never be able to enter the final battle.”

”It seems that the news we heard before is indeed groundless. Virtual Universe Company attaches great importance to fairness and justice, and the Giant Ax Arena advocates the law of the jungle, and only the strong can enjoy various preferential treatment.”

While Lu Bu and the others were talking here, the 1000th ranked participant in Ganwu Universe Kingdom was already standing on the ring, ready to start his life and death trial.

”Roar!” The combatant’s first trial opponent was a first-level Territory Lord-level ferocious beast. As soon as it came out, it roared and rushed towards the combatant.

No one who can enter the final battle of the universe is weak. The first level of the regional main level naturally cannot stop this combatant. He just swayed slightly and escaped the attack of the ferocious beast, while waving the sword in his hand. , with just one move, the beast was killed on the spot.

After easily winning the first battle, as Zhou Yu said, the participant did not choose to rest for half an hour, but chose to continue the second battle.

The opponent in the second game was still a first-level domain lord, but his strength was slightly stronger than the beast just now, but his strength was also very limited, and he was still easily killed.

The third game, the fourth game, the fifth game...the seventeenth game, the eighteenth game.

After winning the eighteenth battle in a row, the combatant finally chose to rest for half an hour. The sixth-level Domain Lord level opponent just now had already made him feel the pressure, and the force of the eighteen battles in a row was also Somewhat consumed.

The most important thing is that the fifteen opponents from the first level to the fifth level of the Domain Lord are all ferocious beasts without very high intelligence. However, starting from the sixth level of the Domain Lord, the opponents they face become A truly intelligent race.

What Lord Eclipse Fire said before, there will be some opponents who may hide part of their own strength, refers to these opponents from intelligent races.
