They passed through a vast forest that looked like an ocean and fought a dozen battles along the way. Most of them were unlucky guys who were left alone, which they finished off easily.
The young man with golden wheels in his eyes, the Thousand Leaves Holy Lady and the others easily suppressed groups of four or five people, without losing a single one.
Outside of the forest was a desert.
Everybody kept moving forward; they would look for people from their galaxy when their badges became hot.
Some of them were hiding in the sand; they were already injured. A couple of them were hiding and ambushing in the desert.
All of them were shocked when they met Su Ping.
They didn't expect that Su Ping would have gathered so many people in such a short time.
…
Outside of the deep space continent, outside of the Apotheosis Platform …
Ciro looked around and observed Su Ping's team the most. He nodded; he had thought that the young man was arrogant, but he was satisfied with Su Ping's performance, followed by the Dragon Emperor.
Su Jin 'er, who was as famous as Su Ping and had the potential to reach the Ascendant State, was wandering around by herself. She didn't pick up any of the people from her galaxy; she simply kept moving forward, as if she were going to fight on her own.
"They'll be eliminated if they don't work together. Those kids haven't realized the significance of this elimination round yet!"
"I heard that they'll be sent to the border to train themselves after the finals. That's not a place for individual heroism; unity is strength."
The Ascendant State experts from other galaxies were also observing their contestants; they all shook their heads and sighed.
Su Jin 'er wasn't the only one who was disobedient. Most of the top geniuses in their galaxy were too proud to cater to the newcomers; they would only take the contestants from their galaxy with them if they couldn't avoid them. Most of them simply went on a rampage, not intending to form a team.
"I heard that a genius in the Wudi Galaxy has awakened an ancient divine constitution, which is one of the nine great constitutions. Is that the kid? He's truly ferocious!"
"Tsk. He's crossing the sea alone, and yet he still has the energy to kill sea beasts. He's truly young and vigorous!"
"It seems that this little guy is the strongest player in our Star Region."
"Indeed. I've looked at the others. Many of them have Ascendant State potential. They're all horrifying, but they're still not as good as this guy!"
"I heard that there are also top contestants with Divine Combat Bodies in the Goat Immortal Star Region. It seems that there will be a wonderful duel in the final league. Among the nine Divine Combat Bodies, except for the top three, the rest are not ranked. This time, we can see which one is stronger and which one is weaker!"
The other Ascendant State experts were commenting on the top geniuses of their respective galaxies.
…
Time flew.
As the battles continued, more and more geniuses fell. Some of the geniuses who were left behind were also found using secret techniques and defeated.
If one were to observe from outside the deep-space continent, they would discover that the deep-space continent was constantly shrinking as time passed. This caused the range of activities inside to be compressed to an extremely small area, forcing the people inside to fight for the top 100 in the final area!
"I don't want to give up!"
On a plain, a Saint King in a platinum divine robe was bathed in blood. He had been defeated with hatred. He had encountered several powerful enemies in succession and was forced to hide after being injured. Now, he had encountered a top genius from another galaxy and was defeated. He was sullen and angry. With his strength, he was definitely qualified to enter the top hundred. Unfortunately, it had ended early.
On the Hugh Mia Academy's aircraft carrier — the elders of the academy were sad to see such a scene. The two stars of their academy were very strong and had a chance to make it to the top ten in their respective galaxies, as well as the top 100 in their respective star regions. However, they were both unlucky; one of them died and the other was defeated.
Somewhere in the mountains — dozens of people were grilling a magnificent dragon. The fragrance of the barbecue was so appetizing that they couldn't help but swallow.
A woman waved her sword and cut off the most delicious leg of the dragon, giving it to Su Ping.
Su Ping accepted it, thanked her and tasted it.
The others also quickly cut the meat.
"Fortunately, we met Brother Su. That guy was too brutal. We would have been wiped out if we had encountered him alone!" A young man in a golden robe said with a smile. He was sitting on a rock in the crowd, as if he were sitting on a throne in his palace.
He was the Dragon Emperor. He had followed the badge and found Su Ping; he had mixed feelings and could only move forward together.
Soon after, they encountered a group of eight strong geniuses; each of them was as strong as the Dragon Emperor. Their leader even had the potential to reach the Ascendant State. Su Ping fought them in person. An earth-shattering battle broke out; he only managed to defeat them at the cost of some minor injuries.
The battle also made the others admire Su Ping even more.
Even a genius with Ascendant State potential had been trampled under Su Ping's feet. That guy was the real tough one!
At this point, the arrogance in the Dragon Emperor's heart had completely disappeared. He only sighed and lamented. He had never thought that there would be a day when he would owe a favor to someone at the same level as him and could only look up to them.
Su Ping tore off a piece of dragon meat and mumbled, "We'll meet again later."
He had only defeated the guy, but failed to kill him. The guy had a powerful life-saving treasure; he couldn't have stopped him if he retreated.
After all, the guy had the potential to reach the Ascendant State; his control of laws was much better than that of the regular Fate State warriors; he couldn't even lock space.
"Where are we going next?" someone asked cautiously.
Su Ping stopped. His action made the guy's heart skip a beat, thinking that he had angered the brutal guy. However, Su Ping looked into the distance and said, "Do you feel that the world is shrinking?"
"Shrinking?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, and they all looked around.
Very soon, someone with keen senses exclaimed, "It's true! I just measured a mountain nearby with Astral Perception. It shrank by one meter in only a few seconds. It's shrinking so fast!"
"No wonder I felt that something was wrong. The terrain is shrinking!"
"Have we been surrounded? Is someone ambushing us?"
"That's impossible! Such a large-scale contraction is definitely not something that others can do!"
"I know it now. The whole world is shrinking. They're trying to shrink the world and force us to stay together!"
"Damn it. If that's the case, we won't be able to hide even if we want to. We'll be caught sooner or later, right?"
"That's right. The weak can't escape, and the strong can be eliminated if they don't stick together. The rules are truly cruel!"
These people were all peerless geniuses. They quickly reacted and were all shocked. Many of them didn't think much about joining a group. They thought that even if they didn't join a group, they could find a place to hide and survive until the final circle. At that time, they might even be able to sneak their way into the top 100.
Now, it seemed that if the terrain shrank to an extremely small area as they guessed, then it would be useless to hide. They would definitely be discovered.
For a moment, many people felt lucky to have met Su Ping.
At present, they could be considered an extremely strong team. Even in the later stages of the competition, they would still have a strong combat power!
"Since the terrain is shrinking, let's wait here and save up. We'll be ready for an ambush while we're at it," Su Ping instructed.
The others had no objections. The group took out their secret treasures and began to set up a formation around them according to Su Ping's instructions.
…
Time flew by.
As the terrain shrank, contestants from other galaxies flew over from the mountains where Su Ping and the others were stationed. They were all defeated by the ambushers.
Small groups passed by occasionally, but they were all captured.
One day later, the previously vast continent had been reduced to the size of a couple of planets. Such an area was definitely a small hill for the thousands of geniuses.
Fortunately, thousands of geniuses had already perished. Some of them were hiding in the deep space, and only a few were still active.
"I know a powerful sword array that can be set up with the mountains as the foundation. It's powerful enough to annihilate anyone below the Star Lord level!"
Said a young man in the crowd with a sword on his back in a low voice.
He was Linghu Jian, the heir of the Sword God of the North Sea. Su Ping had met him when he was passing through the mountains and recruited him.
Linghu Jian was accompanied by a couple of people. They were all shocked when they saw Su Ping's team; they didn't expect so many people to be around Su Ping!
There were nine of them at first, but some of them were as strong as Linghu Jian. He couldn't keep an eye on them and eliminated four of them.
"Okay."
Su Ping nodded and accepted the offer.
Linghu Jian glanced at Su Ping and quickly turned around to search for materials with the others, ready to set up the array.
Su Ping's team already had sixty or seventy people. The young man with golden wheels in his eyes was among them; he was a top genius as strong as Su Jin 'er.
I didn't expect to be protected by this guy. Dragon Devil didn't dare to look at Su Ping in the crowd. He mumbled to himself that he had been defeated by Su Ping's pet back then. He swore that he would never forgive Su Ping. But now … it felt great!
Linghu Jian's sword array was soon set up. Everybody concealed their auras and scattered, waiting for the ambush to continue.
Not long after, a group of people suddenly flew over. There were many of them, more than 30 people, and the leader was two men and a woman. Their auras were restrained like an abyss, but if one looked carefully, they would feel that it was extremely vast and terrifying.
"Something isn't right!"
As soon as this group of people stepped into the mountains, the young man in the lead suddenly stopped, and his expression became serious. He looked around and frowned. "The arrangement of these mountains seems to have been moved by someone, and they are vaguely gathering power …"
"Huh?"
The eyes of the man and woman beside him flickered as they sized him up.
Right at this moment, several sword-lights suddenly flew over. At the same time, Secret Techniques that blotted out the sky and covered the earth gathered from all directions and swept out with a loud rumble.
"You're asking to be killed!"
The three of them were instantly infuriated; their eyes were filled with killing intent.
