Chapter 496: 316: Ultimate Reward, Annihilation of the Ten Thousand Clans_i
Jiang Ming stepped out from the World Gate.
After the ten-day period had expired, they bade farewell to their Master and were transported to an unknown location, where they were awarded prizes based on their points ranking.
Jiang Ming received a Heart of God. According to Hong Ling and others, this was equivalent to godhood; once refined and fused, it offered a very high chance to transform directly into the Divine Spirit Realm.
The rest of the prizes—three hundred Divine Crystals, three thousand Hearts of the World, thirty thousand Cosmic Origin Stones, one hundred thousand Rule Fragments, and so on—were mostly claimed by individuals of the Human Clan.
Since the Alien Race had been nearly exterminated, and those remaining were not strong, they could not obtain anything good.
“Welcome back!”
Seeing Jiang Ming and the others emerging one by one, Taixuan couldn’t help but reveal a joyful expression.
Not a single one of the most talented had been lost.
This was the best news.
Moreover, individuals like the First Sword Emperor and Dongfang Bodhi, who had already stepped into the Twelfth Realm, were all here as well.
This Genius War was crucial to the future structure of the Warzone of Ten Thousand Tribes; it was difficult not to pay it great attention.
“You’ve all reached the Twelfth Realm?” After the joy, Taixuan felt the formidable aura emanating from Jiang Ming and the others.
Each one gave him a sense of unfathomable depth, impossible to shake.
If it had been one or two, it would have been fine, even ten or so would not be remarkable, but every single one of them had achieved this.
And each one’s aura gave him a chilling sensation.
Besides these geniuses, people like Blood Robe Marquis, Zuo Xiong, Qian Yuanyuan, and others had also stepped into the Twelfth Realm.
Looking around, there were more than a hundred beings at the Twelfth Realm level.
Taixuan was utterly astonished.
The First Sword Emperor and the others were equally astounded.
It was incredibly unbelievable.
“Jiang Ming swept through the Battlefield of Geniuses,” Blood Robe Marquis Zuo Xiong said excitedly, yet also with great emotion, “Because of Jiang Ming, we barely faced any danger and were given endless resources, interpreting the myriad ways of the great dao, which led us to advance by leaps and bounds. As long as one wasn’t too weak, they generally entered the Twelfth Realm.”
As everyone recounted their experiences, Taixuan and the others came to understand what had happened.
They had counter-slaughtered the Holy Dynasty’s encirclement.
They had slain Divine Children.
Fought a divine spirit with a cross-dimensional strike in a great battle.
And in the final battle with the divine spirits, they had nearly destroyed the vast starry sky.
And so on.
Each event was shocking and seemed unbelievable.
After reuniting and discussing the situation on the battlefield, they parted ways.
However, Jiang Ming and his group gathered together.
“Come on, bring out all the good stuff; let’s distribute it!” Jiang Ming tossed out the Heart of God.
This thing wasn’t of much use to him.
He also took out all the twelve-grade great artifacts obtained from conquering the Holy City because, after all, in a year’s time they would participate in the Multi-Universe Genius Battle. Naturally, he wanted people like Wang Qiutong and others to accumulate more and have a deeper foundation.
When they were being awarded their prizes, they all received invitation tokens.
In a year, the Multi-Universe Genius Battle would commence, and they could travel there using their tokens.
As for whether to go or not?
Not a single person would refuse.
“I know you need Rule Fragments,” Ye Bai directly tossed his out, “Old Jiang, you have to bring out all your good stuff too. I still need to develop my Holy Body and try to have you rubbing against the ground in the next battle.”
“I used to think about rubbing, but now there’s no hope,” Shi Lei smacked his lips and spoke helplessly, “This kid is a darling of the dao who breaks all the rules.”
Everyone laughed.
Jiang Ming smiled wryly.
His treasured collection, everyone’s treasured collection, was all brought out.
Each took what they needed.
Even Jiang Ming, through his talent of Infinite Refining, refined a large number of good things for everyone, making all present wildly ecstatic.
Additionally, there were the various secret techniques and supreme skills deduced by Jiang Ming. Regardless of whether one could successfully cultivate them or not, he indiscriminately passed them to every individual.
After the people chose the useful items, they left behind many good things. The remainder was all given to Jiang Ming. In their words, it was an investment in his Inner World to see what level it could reach in the future.
Naturally, Jiang Ming would not refuse.
After inventory, the Rule Fragments he had obtained this time, once refined, could allow his Way of Rules to reach around twenty-seven hundred types.
There was still a significant gap from three thousand.
It became more difficult the closer he got to the end.
Even after collecting the Battlefield of Geniuses, even after gathering many rewards together, it still wasn’t enough.
It made him somewhat helpless.
“What are your plans for the upcoming year?” Jiang Ming asked.
“Return to Blue Star!” Shi Lei sighed suddenly. “I have a feeling that once we go back this time, there won’t be a next time.”
“I have the same feeling,” said Ye Bai, his smile fading. “Once we participate in the Multi-Universe Genius Battle, unless we die in combat, we will definitely become gods. By then, it will likely be impossible to return. Everyone, let’s all gather back home.”
Everyone fell silent, overcome by an indescribable emotion.
“There’s a year’s time, enough to reunite with your families. With your strength, you can leave behind a legacy that will last for ten thousand years, even use divine skills to catalyze and give birth to a few Eleventh Realm beings in your clan,” Jiang Ming said. “Leave behind a legacy, leave behind inheritance, and if possible, leave behind your bloodline as well.”
“Bloodline?” Ye Bai jumped up. “I don’t even have a girlfriend yet!”
“Haha…” Chen Bei laughed heartily. “That’s simple. Once you go back, just announce your wish to find a bride, and surely countless women will flock to you.”
“Forget it,” Ye Bai rolled his eyes and sighed. “With our cultivation levels and physiques, leaving behind descendants is not just any ordinary difficulty.”
After the conversation, the people didn’t rush to leave but directly soared into the sky, leaving Sky Martial City.
“Are we really going to do this?” Shi Lei asked with his hands clasped behind his back.
“Let’s clean up first; after all, we need to give Blue Star some time,” said Jiang Ming. As he spoke, the World Projection poured out, spreading rapidly in all directions and covering the entire world in the blink of an eye.
Numerous races, countless forces, all shrouded within it.
Even the Lost Land was affected.
Jiang Ming snorted coldly; the power of the Battle Domain, Soul Domain, and Heart Domain surged out and merged into it, causing the projection’s power to spike dramatically, breaking through the constraints of the Lost Land and sweeping over all territories.
Even the Cosmic Fog above the firmament was enveloped.
“Alien Races, above the Tenth Realm, die!”
Jiang Ming was ruthlessly decisive, initiating a grand cleansing.
All kinds of alliances and races — Divine Alliance, Alliance of Myriad Beasts, Insect Race, Mechanical Race, and so on — were suppressed entirely without exception.
Even the Dragon Clan and Angel Clan were no exception.
However, the direct relatives of the Holy Heart were spared.
All the rest were annihilated.
Matters of gratitude, entanglements of love and resentment, questions of innocence — none of these required consideration over the greater good of the race.
This was what they had agreed upon early on; the first thing to do after returning was to sweep clean the Warzone of Ten Thousand Tribes.
To let the Human Clan truly dominate this place.
Jiang Ming’s gaze shifted, looking towards the Lost Land.
He found the God of Lost.
He also saw the Death Forbidden Zone.
Liu Ruyan had perished inside.
“Today, I will completely unveil your mysteries!”
