From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Making a Name in Yangyuan Star Continent

Earth and the Milky Way Galaxy cheered, the Golden Moon Empire rejoiced, and now, numerous powerful factions had turned their attention to Li Yang.

"Look at battle space three hundred sixty!"

"That young man is so powerful! He actually killed Jun Mo in just two attacks!"

"With that kind of power, he must be close to the Peak of the Longevity Realm!"

"Who is that young man?"

"I found him. The young man is named Li Yang. He’s from the Golden Moon Empire, in the Milky Way Galaxy. His home world is a Planet Zero."

"A Planet Zero actually produced a genius with so much Talent?"

The eyes of numerous factions were now on Li Yang.

Before, many of these powerful factions had only paid attention to the top-echelon geniuses, or those from within their own galaxies.

Li Yang had just barely broken into the top ten thousand. It was a rank high enough to draw some attention, but not enough to be on everyone’s radar.

However, every faction knew of Jun Mo, who had ranked 300th overall on the Path of the Deities’ steps in the first round. In battle space three hundred sixty, Jun Mo was supposed to be the strongest.

And yet, mere seconds after the battle began, Jun Mo was instantly killed!

...

In an instant, Li Yang’s name became known to countless factions, making him famous throughout the entire Yangyuan Star Continent.

Countless people were shaken by Li Yang’s sudden burst of power. Elsewhere in the Milky Way Galaxy, Jin Mola’s eyes were filled with terror as he watched the battle unfold.

’Jun Mo was instantly killed by Li Yang? How is that possible?’

’Jun Mo’s power was comparable to that of the Yuanlan Clan’s greatest genius, Tianluo. And yet, Jun Mo couldn’t even withstand two of Li Yang’s attacks.’

’If Jun Mo couldn’t hold on, that meant Tianluo would be no match for Li Yang either!’

His expression shifted rapidly. Jin Mola was truly afraid now.

Tianluo was his greatest backer, but from the looks of it, Li Yang’s rise was simply unstoppable.

’With Li Yang’s current power, even if he fails to join the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall and can only enter the Yangyuan Empire, he will absolutely be one of the geniuses they value most!’

’At that point, could Tianluo really deal with Li Yang?’

A sharp look flashed in his eyes, and Jin Mola suddenly shot to his feet.

’I have to go. I need to leave the Milky Way Galaxy immediately and find somewhere to hide.’

Without a moment’s hesitation, Jin Mola chose to flee.

Even his greatest backer, Tianluo, was likely helpless against Li Yang. If he stayed in the Milky Way Galaxy, wasn’t that just asking for a death sentence?

A few years ago, Earth had been like an ant in his eyes. Now, he was like a bird startled by the twang of a bowstring, never daring to provoke the planet again.

...

Li Yang’s sudden eruption of power had clearly caused a massive stir, but no one was more shocked than the combatants within battle space three hundred sixty.

"Jun Mo... was killed by Li Yang?"

"How is that possible? Wasn’t Jun Mo the strongest one in this battle space?"

"Not only was he killed, he was instantly killed by Li Yang!"

"Li Yang’s power is terrifying!"

The crowd stared at Li Yang in terror, as if they couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

The mighty Jun Mo, the arrogant Jun Mo... they had all expected him to unleash his power and teach Li Yang a lesson. And he was just... gone? So easily?

Was this some kind of joke?

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Stunned for less than a second, the other geniuses rapidly distanced themselves from Li Yang.

Even Jun Mo had been instantly killed. A single attack from Li Yang could probably wipe out a huge swath of them.

Watching them flee, Li Yang didn’t make a move. His gaze was cold as he stared at the spot where Jun Mo had vanished.

’Tianluo, you wanted to find someone to eliminate me?’ Li Yang sneered inwardly.

’Too bad. You’ve lost your chance!’

Five years. The imprinting of Laws. Frantic cultivation with two doppelgangers. His rate of progress had far exceeded anyone’s imagination!

If he hadn’t been comprehending both the Thunder Law and the Space Law simultaneously, he would have advanced far more than just fifteen hundred steps.

On the steps of the Path of the Deities, his true potential had not been revealed at all!

Only now was Li Yang’s true power being exposed to the public for the first time.

Li Yang made no move as he watched the others flee into the distance.

By killing Jun Mo, Li Yang had guaranteed his own advancement. He didn’t even need to fight; he could just wait for the other nine victors to emerge.

And so, a strange scene unfolded in battle space three hundred sixty.

The other geniuses were locked in constant, brutal combat, trying to eliminate one another.

But near Li Yang, there was a wide, empty circle. No one dared approach him, and they all kept their distance, terrified of drawing his attention.

Since his advancement was assured, Li Yang couldn’t be bothered to trounce the others and simply waited for the round to end.

And as he waited, a figure materialized inside the palace of the Golden Moon Empire.

It was Lentz, who had just been eliminated.

"I... I’ve been eliminated," Lentz said, his face a mask of indignation.

He had done his best to hide, but his luck had been terrible. The strongest combatant in his battle space—a genius who had ranked in the top one hundred on the Yangyuan Star Continent in the first stage—had attacked. His power was unimaginable!

And Lentz had been right in the middle of his attack range, getting instantly killed.

Even if he’d been mentally prepared for elimination, Lentz hadn’t wanted to go out like this—instantly killed right at the start.

He was the second-ranked genius of the Golden Moon Empire, the future Controller of the Golden Moon Empire! The battle had been broadcast live, and the entire empire, countless citizens, had seen him get instantly killed, powerless to resist, and effortlessly eliminated.

’Are the others going to laugh at me?’ Lentz felt a knot in his stomach. He looked around at the others in the grand hall, expecting them to turn to him, perhaps offering a few words of comfort.

’He knew the others might not say anything, but his dear older brother, Lunba Wu, was surely celebrating internally. He’d probably come over to gloat.’

But that didn’t happen. Everyone’s eyes were glued to the holographic projections of the battle spaces, their faces filled with excitement and agitation.

Lentz froze. What was going on? This wasn’t what he’d expected at all.

’Shouldn’t they all be feeling sorry for me right now?’

"Lentz, my dear brother."

In the palace, Lunba Wu was the first to notice him. He walked over, saying, "My dear brother, don’t be disheartened. So you were eliminated this time? There will be other opportunities in the future. As your big brother, I believe that with your Talent, you’re destined for great things."

He offered some words of comfort, playing the part of a good older brother.

Lentz, however, found his words utterly revolting.

’This Lunba Wu, who wished he would drop dead on the spot, was comforting him out of the goodness of his heart? As if.’

He didn’t bother to hide his displeasure.

Lunba Wu paid no mind to Lentz’s sour expression; this was far from the first time they had clashed.

Lunba Wu’s eyes darted about before he spoke again. "Lentz, let me tell you some good news. Our Golden Moon Empire is about to make a huge name for itself on the Yangyuan Star Continent."

Hearing this, Lentz’s voice grew heavy. "What do you mean?"

’He’d been eliminated, and now the Golden Moon Empire was going to make a name for itself on the Yangyuan Star Continent? Was Lunba Wu mocking him?’
