Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 51

Many people are still self-aware. Although it is almost impossible for them to join the Virtual Universe Company, if they achieve a good ranking in the Genius Battle, they can receive greater preferential treatment when joining other cosmic forces.

"coming!"

While the contestants were pondering, Lu Yunhe had already arrived in front of the Snow Castle.

"As soon as the God of Slaughter enters, we will launch an attack together and eliminate him first."

Many people were watching Lu Yunhe expectantly. As long as he could get the first kill, his points would increase dramatically in a short period of time. Even if it could only be maintained for a short time, it would still attract a lot of attention.

However, Lu Yunhe did not walk directly into the castle as they expected. Instead, he stopped in front of the castle gate and slowly raised the weapon in his hand.

At the same time, the three orbs of light—silver, blue, and red—behind Lu Yunhe quickly flew onto the sword.

Meanwhile, the extremely complex law runes on the original divine weapon sword began to rapidly transform, and a dazzling white light shot straight into the sky, even overshadowing the silvery white of the snow.

"The Light... Colossus!"

Lu Yunhe raised his divine weapon and swung it forward heavily, the sword light, which was over a hundred meters long, directly slashed at the castle.

Rumble…

In an instant, the solid castle wall was split in two, and many contestants died under the sword light before they could even react.

The remaining contestants, still inside the castle, were startled and began to flee in panic.

"What a monster!"

The contestants with average skills couldn't help but feel a sense of fear when they recalled the attack.

The material intensity of the entire world zone has reached B9, which means that a full-force attack from an ordinary stellar-level ninth-order unit can only barely leave some marks on the castle walls.

Lu Yunhe's attack just now destroyed half of the entire building, and its attack power far exceeded that of a major level.

Chapter 86 Lightning

Daytime!

As a polar environment, it is daytime 24 hours a day here, but the glaring sunlight does not bring warmth.

"Run!"

After being struck, many of the contestants lost all desire to fight and scattered and fled.

Lu Yunhe walked through the ruins, gripping the primordial divine weapon. All around him were broken walls and limbs, and some corpses even had their hearts still trembling, making their last struggle.

call out!

But the next second a beam of light flew by at lightning speed, piercing his heart and shattering his last thought.

At the same time, another bloody massacre broke out. The ice and snow castle, which had been used to hide itself, now seemed to have become their prison.

The winding passages and rooms prevented them from escaping immediately, and Lu Yunhe found them one by one in just a few breaths and sent them out of the world zone.

laugh!

Just as Lu Yunhe was walking through the castle passage at the average speed of a ninth-level star, an extremely faint sound suddenly came from the deep passage.

"They still dare to attack me at this time, which shows they are very confident in their own strength."

A hint of interest appeared in Lu Yunhe's eyes. He was getting a little bored with playing the chase game all the time and hoped to find a worthy opponent.

"Die!"

Just as Lu Yunhe stepped through a gate leading to the outside world, a purple, lightning-shining, blade-shaped telekinetic weapon instantly slammed into him.

Boom...

A deafening roar echoed through the passageway as a powerful attack shattered the gate, kicking up clouds of dust.

"It was actually blocked!"

The purple-haired man who attacked Lu Yunhe's expression changed slightly. The tactile sensation of the weapon colliding with his telekinetic weapon made him clearly understand that his attack had no effect.

"It's actually 'Purple Extreme'! This is going to be interesting!"

Some contestants in the distance also noticed the commotion. When they saw someone blocking Lu Yunhe, they couldn't help but feel a little happy, but they didn't stop their escape at all.

Immortals fight, mortals suffer.

There's an unspoken understanding among the world's top geniuses, which makes watching them a very costly endeavor.

However, risks and benefits coexist, and many participants still chose to stay and watch. Once either of them showed signs of weakness, they would rush up and devour them like hyenas.

"The fundamental law of lightning!"

Looking at the electric light dancing on his fingertips, Lu Yunhe thought, after searching for so long, he had finally found a genius who had comprehended the fundamental laws.

That's true. After all, although there are 8 billion participants in the entire world, anyone who has some understanding of the fundamental laws can rank in the top 100 of the region.

With a ratio of 100:82 billion, you'd be lucky to even encounter one.

"As expected, you are powerful. Then take another move from me!"

Seeing Lu Yunhe emerge unharmed as the dust settled, Zi Ji's face also revealed a hint of excitement. Those who can comprehend fundamental laws at the stellar level with a human body are generally somewhat prone to battle mania.

"open!"

Purple lightning slowly appeared around Zi Ji, and tiny blades arranged in a specific pattern formed a dense net of lightning blades.

"go with!"

As a psychic, Zi Ji created distance while unleashing his psychic weapon to attack Lu Yunhe.

One of the biggest advantages of a mentalist against a martial artist is that they can extend their attack range to an extreme extent without losing power.

hum!

Lu Yunhe looked at the net of lightning blades that was enveloping him, and gently slashed forward with the divine weapon in his hand.

"As expected of a rude martial artist!"

Seeing Lu Yunhe's straightforward attack, Zi Ji immediately revealed a proud smile. A mentalist's weapon can gather and disperse, and is not so easily hit.

"Disperse!"

Zizizi!

However, before Zi Ji's smile could last long, he suddenly realized that his telekinetic weapon seemed to be ignoring his commands.

When Lu Yunhe's primordial divine weapon broke into the lightning blade array, an even deeper source of lightning power emanated from the weapon, firmly attracting the blades that wanted to disperse.

"How is that possible? Didn't he comprehend the fundamental laws of light?"

Zi Ji stared in astonishment at the lightning crackling on Lu Yunhe's weapon, unable to believe that the other party had also comprehended the fundamental laws of lightning, and it seemed that his comprehension was even deeper than his own.

"impossible!"

Zi Ji frantically channeled his mental energy, trying to regain control of the weapon. Crossing the threshold of even one fundamental law is enough to rank one in the top 10 of the world, let alone possessing two fundamental laws.

However, the only thing that gave Zi Ji a sense of relief was that both were lower-level primordial laws, so the combined increase in strength was limited. If the other were a higher-level primordial law...

"Come back!"

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. In reality, Zi Ji frantically squeezed out his mental energy, pushing his understanding of the fundamental laws of lightning to the extreme.

Gradually, Zi Ji suddenly realized that he seemed to have regained control of his telekinetic weapons.

"Take back your weapons and run. With the God of Slaughter around, there's probably no hope for becoming number one in the 66th World District."

In just one exchange, he didn't even manage to touch a hair on his opponent's head, but he almost lost control of his own weapon.

Faced with such an extreme gap, Zi Ji couldn't muster the slightest thought of fighting against it; he only wanted to get a ranking in the top 1000 of the world region.

"receive!"

Zi Ji summoned back the lightning blade array, and at the same time, another telekinetic weapon rose from beneath his feet, preparing to retrieve the weapon and escape into the sky.

"what is that?"

As the lightning blade array slowly approached, Zi Ji suddenly noticed a unique light flashing—it was Lu Yunhe's original divine weapon.

The fundamental law of lightning merged the aura of the world's divine weapon with that of the lightning blade array, while the fundamental law of light distorted vision, causing the original divine weapon to follow the blade array back to Ziji's hands.

"No!"

Upon seeing this, Zi Ji's eyes widened instantly. What would happen if a mentalist was approached by a more powerful martial artist?

call out!

Before Zi Ji could react, the magnificent primordial divine weapon pierced through his body, ending his journey in this genius battle.

Before he died, Zi Ji saw something even more incredible: Lu Yunhe appeared behind him and caught the flying weapon.

"?"

Zi Ji's eyes were filled with deep questions. What did it mean that a person was faster than a weapon? Then he was kicked out of the virtual universe network.

"Purple Extreme!"

Before Zi Ji could figure out what was going on, an extremely majestic voice rang in his ears, startling him awake.

"teacher!"

Upon hearing this voice, Zi Ji shuddered instantly, realizing that he had been kicked out of the virtual universe. Moreover, because he was in the early stages of the elimination rounds, his score was very low, and he couldn't even participate in the arena battles.

"What exactly happened?" The authoritative voice rang out again, feeling somewhat frustrated. With Zi Ji's strength, even if he couldn't get first place, he shouldn't have been eliminated so quickly.

"I've encountered a god of death!"

Zi Ji wanted to recount his experience fighting the opponent, but after a brief recollection, he realized that he couldn't even withstand a single move from the opponent, and there was nothing to review.

Hearing his disciple's extremely brief description, the authoritative voice slowly dissipated: "Since you've been eliminated from the Genius Battle, just break through to the Universe Level directly!"

Chapter 87 Ambush (Fifth Update)

"Did I hit too hard?"

Looking at the dead Zi Ji, a genius who had comprehended the fundamental laws of the universe, Lu Yunhe could only imagine the frustration and resentment in his heart.

However, Lu Yunhe cannot be blamed for this. His opponent was too weak, and he collapsed before he could even exert any effort.
