Wang Yi's current strength is considered extraordinary among planetary level.
The reason for this isn't just his genetic level, mental power amplitude, or the secret techniques and their execution levels, but rather... he possesses a domain!
Having a domain means, unless you encounter someone with the same domain, you will be invincible within the star system!
However, the current situation was far from requiring the use of his domain.
"Weak! Too weak!" In the passage, where the distorted airflow surged around him due to high-speed impacts and collisions, Wang Yi wielded two dark red sabers with a fierce smile.
Eighteen throwing knives whirled around him like lightning.
After dispatching one black-robed man with a silver mask, the remaining seventeen black-robed figures attacked Wang Yi with increased ferocity.
They attacked from both the front and the rear! Since they had blocked Wang Yi's forward and backward movements, he had to face a group of them no matter which direction he moved in.
"Die!" Wang Yi's expression was cold. He had no intention of retreating.
In addition to the 18 throwing knives, he launched six more, totaling 24 flying knives directed at the eight black-robed men behind him. Wang Yi followed closely, and his two dark red sabers cut through the air, creating two streams of blood-red sword light aimed at one of the black-robed men.
The throwing knives were scattered attacks. Each black-robed man raised his hands, clad in silver-gray gloves, to catch the flying knives. However, their speed was no match for Wang Yi's, and the knives encountered minimal resistance in the air.
Almost instantly, the eight black-robed men behind him were knocked back, their bodies showing varying degrees of injury.
"Their bodies are so tough!" Wang Yi was surprised.
With his current mental power, equivalent to the seventh rank of planetary level, the combined attack power of the three flying knives was equivalent to the full power of three seventh-rank spiritual masters under normal conditions.
Such formidable power, yet it couldn't penetrate the bodies of the black-robed men.
This defensive capability far surpassed that of the Black God suit!
"Die!" Wang Yi's gaze was merciless. He dashed toward one of the black-robed men like lightning. The black-robed man roared and threw several punches at Wang Yi, but was interrupted by a flying knife. His body was destabilized and he was sent flying. Wang Yi quickly closed in and struck him with his dark red saber, wielding a powerful blow.
Nine layers of thunder swords combined with nine dark powers, increasing the power sevenfold!
The blade sliced through the air with explosive force!
Boom!
Wang Yi's saber actually cut the black-robed man in half, then exploded his body.
"Roar!"
The remaining black-robed figures seemed enraged. The nine black-robed men at the intersection ahead had already rushed behind Wang Yi. Their breath exploded, and their eighteen fists, moving at a terrifying speed of ten times the speed of sound, struck from behind.
But they were met by eighteen throwing knives.
Wang Yi noticed that although these black-robed men were incredibly tough, their attack speed, movement speed, and strength were all at the fifth rank of planetary stars. With their genetic level at three times normal, seven times the power, and mental power amplitude at 24, they were no match for Wang Yi's own strength.
Wang Yi could overwhelm them without even using his domain.
As the number of black-robed men decreased, their broken corpses scattered across the passage floor began to melt and merge into the ground.
It may sound slow, but the actual time from their appearance to the intense battle was mere moments.
"Puff!" With a muffled sound, the body of the last black-robed man was torn apart by the combined force of twenty-four throwing knives, leaving a gaping hole in his chest, filled not with organs, but with a black unknown substance.
"Boom!" A dazzling blade of light, like thunder and fire, struck and severed his head.
All eighteen black-robed men were eliminated!
Looking at the bodies of the black-robed men slowly dissolving into the ground, Wang Yi sighed in relief.
As Wang Yi finished off the eighteen mysterious black-robed figures, at a core section of the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins, crystal ropes—thousands of them—extended in one direction. Light flowed through them, converging at the core location.
...
Wang Yi appeared once again at the crossroads formed by intertwined dark brown tree roots. In front of him were nine paths.
"xxxxxxxx..." A familiar voice resonated in the maze.
"Huh? There's a voice again." Wang Yi glanced at his communication watch, which translated the message: "Congratulations, you have successfully passed the assessment!"
"Please proceed through the passage ahead to receive your reward for successfully completing the assessment task."
"How did I pass the assessment so easily?" Wang Yi was surprised.
He recalled that after Luo Feng killed a black-robed man in the original story, he was forced into a life-threatening mission.
Luo Feng was locked in a small room and had to practice a specific secret technique to escape.
But Wang Yi hadn't experienced anything like that.
His situation was different from Luo Feng's at that time. He didn't understand the ruins' intentions, so he could only wait and see.
The tough wall made of dark brown tree roots in front of Wang Yi suddenly shifted, forming a three to four meter wide passage. At the end of the passage was a psychedelic, crystal-like light.
Wang Yi hesitated before flying in.
...
Inside was a palace bathed in colorful, dream-like lights—a grand and beautiful space, resembling a divine gymnasium, tens of meters wide.
"Huh?" Wang Yi suddenly looked up.
A large number of colorful lights gathered, forming a vague, tall human figure that soon solidified into a bald crystal man.
Wang Yi's face showed surprise. This was the bald crystal man from the No. 9 Civilization Relic.
In fact, this entity also served as the intelligence managing the ruins and had developed some semblance of human emotion.
The bald crystal man smiled and said, "xxxxxx..."
"Welcome, human Wang Yi." The communication watch quickly translated the words.
"Hello." Wang Yi looked at the bald crystal man with curiosity.
The bald crystal man said, "Wang Yi, by defeating eighteen channel guards in the shortest time, you have proven your strength. You do not need to undergo further assessment to qualify to join our Meteorite and become a member of our Meteorite."
"You are outstanding! Among planetary levels, achieving this level means you would be considered a top talent even on our Meteorite!" The bald crystal man seemed to hold Wang Yi in high regard.
Clearly, the ruins had observed Wang Yi's performance. A planetary level with a mental power amplitude of 24 was indeed remarkable and could be considered elite among meteorite planetary levels.
"This is your reward!"
The bald crystal man waved his hand, and five objects from the depths of the palace floated up in a colorful light. They included a black vest, silver armguards, a book with a hint of starlight, a six-sided metal plate, and a silver-gray shuttle-shaped object. These five items hovered before the bald crystal man.
