Qin Hao's figure appeared inside the world ring, covered in wounds.
Although he wasn't affected by the destructive ripples of the world, the act of launching this attack placed a heavy burden on Qin Hao.
Previously, every time he engaged in actual combat in the Virtual Universe, the result was severe injury or death.
Now, Qin Hao's condition was also far from good.
The genetic energy within his body was almost exhausted, and the stars within his Dantian World were extremely dim.
Most seriously, chaotic law power within his body was constantly destroying it, threatening collapse at any moment.
The world itself is something only World Lords come into contact with, creating worlds with World Power.
Qin Hao lacked World Power; he mostly relied on the bestowed secret method, One Thought Creates the World, to forcibly manifest a phantom of a world using the Ten Great Laws he had comprehended.
Although it wasn't a complete world, it possessed a trace of World Power.
It was precisely this trace of World Power, combined with the example of world destruction, that allowed Nolan Mountain to be directly annihilated without any resistance.
However, this also posed an extreme danger to Qin Hao.
The chaotic energy of the Ten Great Laws was constantly eroding the very foundation of his body.
Although Qin Hao was conscious, he could only continuously absorb the surrounding cosmic energy to restore his body.
However, the speed of recovery was far from keeping up with the speed of destruction; he could only watch as his body steadily approached the brink of collapse.
"Is this how it ends?" Qin Hao thought to himself.
Although he could be reborn through his clone, this feeling of being on the verge of death was not pleasant.
Compared to the instant of death in the Virtual Universe, this moment felt both incredibly slow and incredibly fast.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Just as Qin Hao's body was about to collapse, a surge of power emerged from his heart, and his heart began to beat rapidly.
The beating speed continuously quickened and became more powerful.
With each heartbeat, a warm energy quickly spread throughout his entire body.
Under the sweep of this power, Qin Hao's body rapidly recovered.
However, this power only restored Qin Hao's body; it did not completely eliminate the chaotic law power within him.
Through repeated destruction and recovery, the power of the laws gradually weakened and eventually disappeared.
Qin Hao's body also fully recovered, and the warm current within him slowly faded.
After his body recovered, Qin Hao began to rapidly absorb the surrounding cosmic energy.
The stars in his Dantian began to gradually recover, their dim light slowly brightening, and the power within his body rapidly restored.
After recovering a trace of energy, Qin Hao's figure flickered and disappeared from the world ring.
Looking at everything around him that had been annihilated, he felt a lingering fear.
"Good thing I ran fast enough.
If I had been even a little slower, I probably wouldn't even have had a chance to recover."
Everything leveled around him, as well as the various planets and moons affected by the power nearby, all demonstrated the destructive force of that last strike.
Just as Qin Hao was about to return to Earth, a spaceship rapidly flew from a distance and stopped beside Qin Hao.
Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God walked out of the hatch the moment it opened and flew to Qin Hao's front.
"Qin Hao, are you alright?
What exactly happened just now?" Luo Feng asked first, while Babata, beside him, carefully surveyed the surroundings, his eyes gradually changing from calm to incredibly shocked.
"It's nothing, it's over.
Let's prepare to return to Earth," Qin Hao didn't explain much; after all, the recent battle would be difficult to clarify.
"It's good that you're alright, but Qin Hao, your current attire is a bit..." Thunder God said, chuckling.
Even Hong, at this moment, turned his attention to Qin Hao and couldn't help but laugh.
Qin Hao's battle armor was completely shattered, and his clothes were tattered, making him look very disheveled.
It was only then that Qin Hao paid attention to his clothes.
He quickly took out a new set of battle armor from his world ring and put it on.
"Alright, alright, let's go quickly.
The matter is resolved.
Earth should be stable for a while now, so let's quickly improve our strength," Qin Hao awkwardly changed the subject.
Hearing Qin Hao's words, the Three God Ancestors couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
This battle also made them realize their weakness in strength.
If it weren't for Qin Hao, Earth would now be in the hands of others.
This was just a force from a low-level Cosmic Country, completely insignificant in the universe.
"Go back and cultivate!" Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God made up their minds, ready to begin cultivating immediately.
Returning to Earth, Earth remained peaceful, with everyone still immersed in new construction.
After the four of them returned to Earth, they each went home and entered a new phase of cultivation.
After Qin Hao returned home, he reunited with his family for a few days, and then also began systematic training.
Next, he needed to prepare for the Genius Battle, then enter the Virtual Universe Corporation, and begin new cultivation.
Time flew by.
After a period of cultivation, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God still ventured into the universe, participated in the Universe Mercenary Alliance assessment, entered Azure Star, and adventured in the World-in-a-World, acquiring a large amount of wealth.
Luo Feng also obtained a Demonic Killer Race clone through an auction, and with the accumulation of resources, he quickly nurtured the Demonic Killer Race clone.
With the help of the Golden-Horned Beast and the Demonic Killer Race clone, Luo Feng stepped into the threshold of the Gold Law and gained some comprehension of the Space Law.
He was already very proficient in the first stage of the Yan God Weapon operation, and was about to enter the second stage, not much weaker than his strength during the Trial Tower in the original work.
Compared to Luo Feng, Hong and Thunder God's progress was slower, but they had also stepped into the thresholds of the Law of Light and Thunder Law, respectively, though their comprehension of the superior law, Time Law, was still lacking.
Qin Hao's strength also made great progress, but the greatest progress was in the wind, light, thunder, and Time Law; the four great laws had all crossed the threshold and were rapidly improving.
The Five Elements Laws and Space Law were also rapidly improving, but the comprehension of laws became increasingly difficult, and Qin Hao gradually fell into a bottleneck.
"The power of the soul is no longer enough to support the comprehension of more laws."
Qin Hao was very clear about his current situation.
After all, his realm was only Astral Rank, even Astral Ninth Rank, and the law power he could bear was very limited.
In the past few years, Qin Hao had also obtained many things through yearly check-ins, such as the seven-element divine personalities from the Coiling Dragon World, the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle from the Demon God's Six Arts in the Inch of Radiance World, and the sword techniques of the Poet Sword Immortal Li Bai from the Nine Cauldrons World...
"But it's coming soon.
I'll break through after the Genius Battle and enter Primordial Chaos City; my strength will explode."
Qin Hao stopped cultivating, and the thousands of spatial phantoms around him disappeared.
At the same time, Qin Hao also directly vanished from the world ring and appeared in the training room at his home.
