From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

”Haha, I never thought what I, Lombart, left behind would attract so many people.”

A booming laugh echoed in everyone’s ears.

”That’s Lombart’s voice.”

Everyone was stunned to hear this voice.

A Star Lord could cover an entire planet with a single thought and even destroy a planet with a single punch.

A World Realm expert was naturally even stronger, not to mention Lombart, who was invincible at the World Realm level—an existence who could even escape after clashing with Deities!

”Let me see... Longevity Realm, Star Lord Realm, and even a dozen or so World Realm experts...”

Lombart’s voice sounded again, continuing, ”You World Realm experts have the gall to compete with juniors for my treasures? I now declare that all those at the Law Realm level may enter my Relic Space for a chance to obtain what I’ve left behind. The rest of you, get the hell out of here!”

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

As his words fell, figures from all over the planet began to disappear one after another. And all these vanishing people were at the Law Realm.

The faces of the remaining Longevity Realm, Star Lord Realm, and World Masters immediately turned incredibly ugly.

”Damn that Lombart.”

”To think he’s only letting those weaklings at the Law Realm compete for the opportunity!”

”Bastard! Bastard!”

”Hmph! I’d like to see who manages to get the opportunity! Even if one of those Law Realm ants gets it, it will be mine!”

As the numerous Law Realm cultivators vanished, the faces of the remaining powerhouses, especially the World Masters, were impossibly grim.

They were the strongest and had the best chance of obtaining the treasures, yet Lombart had barred them from competing.

...

Meanwhile, Li Yang felt his vision dim, and he found himself in a strange, vast space.

’He’s only letting the Law Realm compete?’ Looking at this space, Li Yang was overjoyed.

Too many experts had come to Celestial Wave Star this time; he was completely at the bottom of the pecking order.

But now, with only Law Realm cultivators competing, he suddenly had an advantage.

Of the Law Realm cultivators who had come, many were only in the Early Law Realm or Mid-Law Realm.

”This Lombart’s comprehension of the Space Law is so strong.”

Just as Li Yang was rejoicing, Soul Ink’s voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

This space, which restricted entry to the Law Realm, had no effect on Soul Ink whatsoever.

”Space Law?” Li Yang was taken aback.

”Yes. To be able to simultaneously teleport so many Law Realm cultivators into the Relic Space... This Lombart’s grasp of the Space Law is such that he’s likely mastered three profound truths and is just a hair’s breadth away from mastering the last one,” Soul Ink said.

Mastering all four profound truths would make one a Divine Realm powerhouse with eternal life.

Li Yang nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly looked ahead.

BOOM!

Before his eyes, a massive palace materialized out of thin air. In front of it, a phantom image appeared.

This was an incredibly burly man with red hair. Upon his appearance, the surrounding void seemed to grow scorching hot.

”Lombart! That’s him, Lombart, the expert invincible at the World Realm!”

”He’s actually letting only us Law Realm cultivators compete for this opportunity! Haha, this is great! This is our great fortune!”

At this moment, the area was densely packed with Law Realm Cultivators.

Their faces were all filled with immense excitement.

Who knew how many experts had come to Celestial Wave Star this time? There were a dozen or so World Masters alone. Never mind the World Masters, even a Longevity Realm expert could insta-kill them. Their chances had been slim to none.

They never expected that all Cultivators above the Law Realm would now be excluded, unable to compete for the opportunity.

For them, this was naturally the best news possible.

”Young Master Tianluo.”

In one area, Jin Mola looked at Tianluo with excitement in his eyes and said, ”This Lombart is only letting Law Realm cultivators compete for the treasures. They are sure to belong to you, Young Master Tianluo!”

Tianluo also had a faint smile on his face. He said calmly, ”We’ll see.”

’He, too, was growing excited.’

He was a peerless genius recruited by the Yangyuan Empire—the ruling power over countless galaxies, including the Milky Way Galaxy, and even numerous Deity-level factions!

It was rumored that the founder of the Yangyuan Empire, the Yangyuan Emperor, was a terrifying existence who surpassed even the Deities!

With the backing of such a great power, he was capable of killing experts an entire realm above him—even those in the Early Longevity Realm! His Talent was terrifying! His strength was terrifying!

’Who here could possibly be his opponent?’

’Therefore, the treasures left behind by Lombart were very likely to be his.’

’Of course, that still depended on how Lombart decided to test them.’

As everyone watched, the burly, red-haired man, Lombart, swept his gaze over the crowd below. His voice rumbled, ”Seeing all you young juniors makes me happy. You remind me of when I was young, searching everywhere for opportunities, just like you.”

Lombart sighed softly, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

Sometimes, the days of cultivation when one was weak are the most unforgettable.

After his moment of reflection, Lombart spoke directly once more, ”I, Lombart, have left a few treasures here. There are several of my weapons, all Tier Ten Secret Pattern Divine Weapons, as well as the blood of a Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon... As long as you pass my test, you will have a chance to obtain these treasures!”

Around Lombart, orbs of light appeared, suspended in the air.

Within these orbs of light were a ferocious purple battle saber, a long white spear, a suit of simple black armor, a pair of black battle boots, and a mass of golden blood that glowed faintly...

The other orbs of light also contained various items, but some were impossible to identify.

Seeing this, everyone present grew excited.

”Tier Ten Secret Pattern Divine Weapons, the blood of a Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon... These are all priceless.”

”What is Lombart’s test?”

They were all filled with anticipation.

Putting everything else aside, the value of a Tier Ten Secret Pattern Divine Weapon was simply immeasurable. Especially from an invincible World Realm expert like Lombart—his weapons were guaranteed to be top-tier!

Lombart didn’t waste any time. With a wave of his right hand, a strange portal appeared before him.

The portal was covered in complex and profound secret patterns that seemed to follow no discernible logic.

”My test is a test of your comprehension. Whoever can solve this pattern can come to me and choose a treasure. Remember, I am only giving you half an hour. Once half an hour has passed, this place will close. The remaining treasures will be saved for the next time the Relic Space opens.”

”This time, what treasures you can obtain will depend entirely on you.”

...

It seemed Lombart didn’t intend to give away all his treasures. After speaking, his phantom image went directly into the palace.

But upon hearing his words, everyone present suddenly grew anxious!

”Damn it, we can only get a treasure if we solve this pattern! And we only have half an hour!”

”If we can’t solve it in half an hour, we won’t get anything.”

”Quick, quick, start comprehending it! See if you can solve it.”

”What is this pattern? I’ve never seen it before.”

”So it’s a test of comprehension.”
