The Lord of Yuanzhong who Devours the Starry Sky

Virtual universe, the space for the Equipment Refiner Competition.

Just like the peak battle, teams from 1008 cosmic countries, totaling 201600 contestants, gathered together under the leadership of the immortals from each cosmic country.

After the immortal leaders of each cosmic country settled their teams, they came to Restaurant No. 1.

"Haha! Nice to see you again, everyone."

"I thought we would meet again at the next Genius Competition, but I didn't expect to meet so soon."

"It's quite fast. It's only been over 2,000 years since the peak genius battle."

One by one, the immortals came into the restaurant to say hello. They were the ones who led the recent peak battles, so they were quite familiar with each other.

"This weapon refiner competition is different from the peak battle."

Yi Buxiu said: "It is said that the contestants who will enter the core layer of the Universe Pharmaceutical Company will be decided soon."

"The speed at which the weapon refiners decide the winner is indeed faster than in a peak battle."

Another immortal replied: "However, there are many weapon refiners of the same level. When the time comes, we will need to determine the winner based on the speed of refining the same weapon."

Another immortal said, "Maybe I've watched too many peak battles, so I feel this weapon refiner competition is quite interesting."

The immortal leaders chatted with each other, and from time to time they talked about the situation of the Cosmic Instrument Pharmaceutical Company. When they talked about the branches in various advanced cosmic countries, their words were filled with envy.

Compared with the five giants that were established earlier, the strength of the heads of the various cosmic country branches of the Universe Pharmaceutical Company is obviously much weaker.

Because of this, they are eager to replace it.

After all, most of the heads of the branches of the Cosmic Pharmaceutical Company are immortal military lords, and their treatment and power are much better than those of the confidants of the Cosmic Lord!
If they have the opportunity to enter the Universe Pharmaceutical Company, they will join without hesitation in order to gain considerable power and more resources.

But it is not easy to join the newly established giant force, Cosmic Pharmaceutical Company. It is difficult to enter without some connections!

……

the other side.

When the immortal leader left, contestants from various cosmic countries left their respective buildings one after another and went to the central square in groups of three or four to relax.

The central square for people to relax is not only beautiful, with many flowers, plants and trees, but also covers a large area and can accommodate millions of people for leisure activities.

A universe-level person belonging to the Lanting Universe Team sat alone on a chair in the corner of the square.

The contestant's name is Ailotta, and his preliminary result was first in the Lanting Universe Country Universe Group.

In this vast square, he was alone and inconspicuous.

"I must achieve good results in this Cosmic Alchemist Competition and enter the core layer of the Cosmic Alchemy Company!"

Elota gritted his teeth secretly, "With my weapon refining skills, I can definitely become a core member of the Lanting branch, or even a core member of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena headquarters!"

As a weapon refiner, being able to achieve first place in the Universe Country preliminaries on a stage like the weapon refiner competition is enough to demonstrate his weapon refining level.

However, with his current level of weapon refining, he is only an internal member of the Lanting branch of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena and has never been able to become a core member of the Lanting branch.

Because there are always reservations for the core membership spots, some people even get dropped in from other branches to get the precious core membership spots.

He was born a native, with no background, no talent for super high laws, and only the cosmic level talent of a weapon refiner.

Forget about wanting to enter the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena headquarters. Just obtaining the status of a core member of the Lan Ting branch is as difficult as ascending to heaven!

"In the top genius battle and the strong battle, each universe country has a thousand places, and only 1000 people can enter the core layer of the two giants."

Elota said silently: "From the number of entries from each universe country, it can be seen that the competition in the Universe Refiner Competition is very fierce..."

"Of the 100800 cosmic-level contestants, only 100 can enter the core layer of the Cosmic Pharmaceutical Company!"

"Based on my level of equipment refining three years ago, the possibility of entering the Cosmic Equipment Pharmaceutical Company is high, but there is no guarantee that I will be able to enter."

"Fortunately, my equipment refining skills have made some breakthroughs in the past three years. If nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely be able to enter the core layer of the Cosmic Equipment Pharmaceutical Company."

"As long as I can enter the core layer of the Cosmic Instrument Pharmaceutical Company, I will be able to completely escape from the Lanting Branch of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena..."

Finally, Elota's eyes showed a determined look, "It's an abyss that I can never climb out of!"

As a cosmic-level being, he is already 70,000 years old, and has been a member of the Lan Ting branch for a full 40,000 years.

He didn't think that he would have a chance to enter the core level of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena in the remaining 30,000 years.

There is no chance of reaching the cosmic level, and even less chance of becoming a domain master in the future!

It can be said that his upper limit will be locked at the Lanting branch, and it will be difficult for him to go to the headquarters of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena.

He was very unwilling to accept this!

The emergence of the Universe Equipment Refiner Competition gave him the opportunity to change his destiny. As long as he seized this opportunity, he could change his fate!

Moreover, the Equipment Refiner Competition held by the Cosmic Equipment Pharmaceutical Company really made him happy.

The importance this force places on weapon refiners is something he could not experience in the Giant Axe Fighting Arena!

……

evening.

As the stars in the sky gradually set.

A magnificent and majestic voice sounded in the minds of all the refiners in the entire space, including the immortal leader.

"Artifact refiners from the 1008 Universe Country, gather in the center of the square."

The words fell.

No matter if they were cosmic-level, domain-level or realm-level weapon refiners, their bodies moved involuntarily.

They flew in from their respective buildings, restaurants, squares, and the sky, and landed in the center of the empty square.

The immortal team leaders arrived at the center of the square first, and looked with interest at the weapon refiners whose bodies seemed out of control.

When 201600 equipment refiners lined up according to the universe, the space in the sky began to distort, as if a whirlpool was constantly spinning.

boom!
The overwhelming pressure of divine power descended, as if it could crush everyone present, causing all the weapon refiners to tremble in their hearts.

next moment.

A figure appeared in the center of the space vortex, and his deep gaze fell on the weapon refiners below.

"The weapon refiners from the 1008 universe country."

Then, a gentle voice sounded, "Welcome to participate in the Cosmic Refiner Competition held by our Cosmic Refiner Pharmaceutical Company."

Upon hearing this voice, all the weapon refiners felt the pressure suddenly reduced, and the pressure that was so strong that it seemed to crush them disappeared.

The weapon refiners raised their heads and looked towards the source of the sound.

They saw a man in a black battle suit, who seemed to be in a different dimension, looking down at them with a smile.

When the man in black appeared, all the weapon refiners noticed that the leading immortals from the 1008 Universe Countries all bowed their heads in respect.

This made them speculate that the man in black was... a powerful leader of the universe!
All the weapon refiners couldn't help but bow their heads and show their respect to this powerful lord-level figure of the universe.

And this man in black is none other than Venerable Bei Ming, who is in charge of hosting this year's Equipment Refiner Competition.

“1008宇宙国，每个宇宙国选拔100名宇宙级、50名域主、50名界主，共计201600人。”

Reverend Bei Ming looked down at the weapon refiners and continued, "My Universe Pharmacy Company will only recruit 100 cosmic-level, 50 domain masters, and 50 realm masters from among you."

"The competition among weapon refiners is about their weapon refinement level, so the rules of the competition... are very simple!"

"The Universe Level starts with refining the second-tier weapons, the Domain Master starts with refining the third-tier weapons, and the Realm Master starts with refining the fourth-tier weapons."

"With each passing round, the difficulty of refining will increase until the number of refiners who have successfully refined weapons is less than the number of places to be absorbed. Then, we will select the best refiners who passed the previous round of assessment to make up the gap."

Reverend Bei Ming paused, and continued: "In other words, the first stage of the competition will determine the 100 cosmic-level, 50 domain masters, and 50 world masters who will enter our Universe Pharmaceutical Company." "The rest... will all be eliminated!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Venerable Beiming disappeared in the space vortex.

When the weapon refiners heard this, they were horrified!
The Equipment Refiner Competition had already reached the finals, but the rules were still so simple and straightforward, which was beyond their expectations.

This means that 20 equipment refiners will be eliminated in the first phase!
……

Afterwards, the weapon refiners, led by the immortals from various cosmic countries, returned to their respective buildings to rest.

The 183 building where the Lanting Universe Kingdom is located.

The leader, Immortal, brought everyone to the first floor of the building, looked at the 200 refiners in front of him and said, "Don't be surprised."

"Cosmic Instrument Pharmaceuticals is a major force equivalent to the Big Five. The core members they want to recruit must be geniuses and elites."

"You are the elites of my Lanting Universe Country. Even if you don't enter the core layer of the Universe Pharmaceutical Company, you will be absorbed by the Lanlei Secret Realm and the six giant branches."

"Whether you enter the Lanting Secret Realm or the six giant branches, you have the hope of becoming an immortal god."

Finally, the immortal leader said, "Everyone, take a good rest and adjust your condition, and strive to achieve a good result tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, the immortal leader asked everyone to disperse.

Elota left with the others, with the same nervousness on her face as everyone else.

However, he secretly thought in his heart: "I must enter the core layer of the Cosmic Instrument Pharmaceutical Company. Only in this way can I escape from the Lanting branch of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena."

Although he got the consent of Lanting branch to participate in the Equipment Refiner Competition, it was because they didn't take him seriously at all.

But when he got first place in the Universe Country preliminaries, the minister who agreed to let him participate in the Equipment Refiner Competition was severely criticized.

If he had not been able to enter the Cosmic Pharmaceutical Company, he would not have had the opportunity to join the Lan Ting Secret Realm or other giants like others.

He could only return to the Lanting branch of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena...a place that seemed like an abyss!

……

The next morning.

"All weapon refiners, please be prepared. We are about to conduct a mass teleportation to transport all weapon refiners to the virtual weapon refining room."

A pleasant female voice sounded, and the sound echoed throughout the entire plane of space.

All the weapon refiners in the 1008 buildings got up early and waited in the lobby on the first floor for the competition to begin.

"Good luck, Elota."

"You are the weapon refiner with the greatest hope of entering the top 100 in the universe of my Lanting Universe Country."

"Ailotta, you must enter the core layer of the Cosmic Device Pharmaceutical Company."

Some cosmic-level refiners gave blessings and encouragement to Ailotta before being collectively teleported into the virtual refinery room.

suddenly--

All the refiners in the lobby on the first floor of the building disappeared as a beam of white light and were transported to their respective virtual refinery rooms.

Not only the refiners in the lobby on the first floor of the building, but also the refiners in other buildings were teleported away, while the leading immortals in the space and the restaurant service staff were not affected.

……

Inside the virtual refining room.

Ailotta looked at the various refining equipment and even the customizable virtual refining room, so he summoned a light curtain to make adjustments.

With the experience of the preliminaries, he placed the refining equipment in a familiar location and waited patiently for the competition to begin.

soon.

A light screen popped up in front of Elota, with the words clearly written in the universal language of the universe...

[The finals of the Universe Refiner Competition begins. Please choose one of the following three weapons as the weapon you need to refine in this round. Countdown 10, 9...]

Ailotta took a look and saw that all three weapons on the light curtain had been refined, so he picked one at random.

With his weapon-refining skills, he can easily refine a second-order ordinary weapon, and whichever one he chooses will not affect his performance.

Moreover, double the materials will be given for each round of weapon refining in the competition, which, combined with the not-so-short refining time, means there will be two refining opportunities.

As long as you can refine a selected weapon within the specified time, you will pass this round of assessment.

The countdown is over.

When two materials appeared in the open space beside him, Elota quickly started the furnace, then put the materials in and began smelting...

With two-thirds of the time left, he had completed the engraving of the secret patterns and was carrying out the final tempering of the sword-shaped weapon.

"finished."

Elota held the hilt of the sword with one hand, looking at the complex and beautiful secret patterns on the sword with a faint smile on her face.

He likes to refine weapons very much.

Every time he successfully refined a weapon or armor, he would feel a sense of accomplishment and be extremely satisfied.

Swish!
A light curtain popped up with brief text on it.

[Beep Sword passed, this round of assessment passed]

When Alotta saw the light curtain appear, he used his telekinesis to put the sword in his hand aside and sat down cross-legged to rest.

Refining weapons consumes a lot of physical energy and mental power.

The Universe Equipment Refiner Competition is a non-stop competition. Once the time is up, the next round of competition will begin immediately.

Although in the virtual refining room, physical strength and mental power will be restored to perfect condition at the beginning of a new round, mental strength is difficult to recover and requires the refiner to adjust it himself.

……

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The Equipment Refiner Competition began and ended round after round.

As the level of weapon refining increases, the refining time will also increase significantly.

For these weapon refiners whose strongest is no more than the Realm Master, the most time-consuming part of refining high-level weapons is carefully carving the secret patterns of the laws.

Ailotta sat in the corner of the central square, with more than a hundred people sitting scattered around him, all looking up at the scene in the sky where hundreds of realm masters were refining weapons.

The expression on his face was very relaxed, because he had entered the core layer of the Cosmic Instrument Pharmaceutical Company and would be leaving the Lan Ting branch of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena. Now he was just waiting for the unknown second stage of the competition to begin.

A few more days passed.

Hundreds of realm masters were teleported to the central square. Among them, more than thirty realm masters looked excited, while the rest looked a little frustrated.

Swish!
Seeing the remaining realm master refiners being teleported out, the leading immortals from each cosmic country stood up almost at the same time and asked all the participating refiners to gather.

Not long after.

All the weapon refiners gathered together, and those who had been confirmed to have entered the core layer of the Cosmic Weapon Pharmaceutical Company stood alone aside, quietly waiting for the arrival of the black-clothed universe lord-level strongman.

boom!
A vortex of twisted space appeared in the sky, and Venerable Bei Ming descended with powerful divine power, looking down at all the participating equipment refiners.

Finally, his eyes fell on the refiners who had been confirmed to enter the Cosmic Medicine Company, which were 79 cosmic-level, 31 domain lords, and 36 realm lords.

"Congratulations, you have been confirmed to enter the core layer of my Cosmic Instrument Pharmaceutical Company."

Reverend Bei Ming said, and turned his gaze to the weapon refiners, "Weapon refiners who were eliminated in the last round, you will participate in the final assessment of the first stage tomorrow. This will be your last chance..." (End of this chapter)
