Devouring the Star: Age of Cataclysm

July 2066, 7 Daxia time, is the day when the ring battle begins.

The previous preliminaries were not broadcast, which made billions of people in the Qianwu Universe extremely anxious.

As for the upcoming competition, fans can actually enter the venue to watch, so the tickets have been selling like hot cakes since they were released.

……

The competition consists of one hundred people in a group, divided into one thousand groups in total, and must be completed within five days.

In each group of arena melee, only the ten strongest people in the world will remain to compete for the nine hundred places.

The rest were ruthlessly eliminated.

The first day's schedule was from Group 1 to Group 200. The four people from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire who passed the knockout stage were Lin Ye, Hong, Luo Feng and Nabini.

Except for Lin Ye who advanced directly, the other three were assigned to different groups to compete in the ring.

Nabini is in group 27 and Hong is in group 187, so they both started the competition on the first day.

Luo Feng, who was in Group 231, started the competition on the second day.

In the virtual universe network, in a specially opened plane of space, a vast and boundless river is rushing forward, going nowhere.

There are islands in these rivers, and each island represents an arena.

These arenas will be the battlefield for the second round of trials.

There were densely packed viewing platforms floating around the arena island, and the audience seats were packed with people.

Among them were Lin Ye, Luo Fenghong, Lei Shen and their families.

As geniuses who stood out from the first elimination round, they were more or less given some viewing spots by the Virtual Universe Company, so they did not have to participate in the crazy ticket grabbing process.

As Lin Ye had the highest points among all the world regions, the organizers gave him nearly 500 places.

So this time, he brought many warriors from Earth as well as relatives and friends to watch the battle.

A small portion of the audience were Lin Ye’s children.

"Dad, today is the match between Brother Luo Feng and Uncle Hong. It will definitely be very exciting."

The youngest son, Lin Batian, was riding on Lin Ye's neck, looking around in the dark crowd, his eyes wide open, as if he was looking for something.

"What are you looking at? Looking around!?" Lin Ye reached out and patted Batian's little butt and asked.

"Look at the pretty girls. Look here there are girls with cat ears, girls with fox tails, and all kinds of other girls that don't exist on Earth... They are so pretty!"

Lin Batian spoke in a baby voice and looked around.

Lin Ye: "..."

Hearing this, Lin Ye was so confused that he didn't know what to say.

He could only look at Xu Qi helplessly, only to see the latter's huge and slippery old shoulders shrug slightly, also looking quite helpless.

He really wanted to ask who had brought up his son like this, but he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.

Without him.

As Lin Ye's youngest son, Lin Batian has been able to freely enter the virtual universe network since he was very young, so his scope of knowledge is extremely wide.

Over time, some good and bad things have been instilled into it.

"No, I must pay attention to the impact of this aspect in the future. I can't let my youngest son Batian become a scumbag."

Thinking of this, Lin Ye looked at Xu Qi and expressed his thoughts directly with his eyes.

However, he didn't expect that Xu Qi's response to his gaze would be so strong -

"Humph, you are the only one who can get away with being so popular, but you won't allow my baby to harm other girls?"

"Uh uh... How can they be compared? Batian is only five years old!" Lin Ye's forehead was full of black lines, and he was speechless.

"Okay, okay, don't let him come into contact with these things in the future. It's not good for children!" In the end, he could only give in in this way.

"Hmph~" Xu Qi glared at Lin Ye and raised her chin, as proud as a little peacock.

"Xiao Ye!" Xu Yong, the old father-in-law sitting next to Xu Qi, said, "Do you think Luo Feng and Hong can stand out from the ring battle and advance to the next stage this time?"

"It's hard to say!" Hearing his father-in-law's words, Lin Ye shook his head slightly and said, "I know Luo Feng's strength very well. He has a great chance of advancing!"

"But Hong's strength is indeed far inferior to Luo Feng's, so his chances of advancing are slim."

"Oh, that's how it is!" Xu Yong nodded, already understanding it in his mind.

At this time, the atmosphere among the audience in the fighting arena surrounding the entire ring was extremely heated.

What a magnificent sight it is to have billions of viewers from many galaxies gathered together.

"Hello, audience!"

A sweet and clear voice rang out, spreading throughout the fighting arena to billions of viewers.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a brown-haired girl with a slim and curvy figure wearing a cool tight combat suit appear in the center of the ring.

The projection presents every detail of the girl's body to the audience.

For a moment, the wolves howled non-stop.

"The next event will be the seventh group's ring battle. Let me introduce these young talents to our respected audience."

"The first one is from..."

After the first genius is introduced, a deafening roar will be heard from a certain area in the fighting arena, as if to give support to this genius.

"The second one is from..."

……

"The third one is from..."

……

The brown-haired girl's sweet voice, like a silver bell, echoed in the ears of many audiences.

Before she knew it, she had already introduced these one hundred geniuses.

After a long time, the cheers that were like a landslide and the earth cracking gradually subsided.

The cheers of one billion people made the entire fighting arena tremble!

Similarly, every time this host is introduced, a fully armed young talent will appear in the middle of the ring.

They looked serious, and unconsciously exuded a terrible fighting spirit.

"not bad!"

Looking at these geniuses who advanced from various world regions, Lin Ye gave a very pertinent evaluation.

But to him, these geniuses did not pose any threat at all.

Even if all the people were added together, it would only take a few moves from him.

This is the huge gap between a super genius who has just started to learn the law of origin and an ordinary top genius.

The two are simply not on the same level.

“Come on, fellow talented warriors!” Lin Batian clenched his little fists and shouted in a baby voice.

Everyone around couldn't help but look at the little boy, with a smile on their lips.

This kid!!

Before the battle began, Lin Ye and his companions began talking about some familiar figures in the group.

For example, the Lord of Rock Mist, who ranks seventh in a certain world region, is a super genius who has comprehended the fundamental laws of earth.

Therefore, his defense almost carries a hint of the mystery of the original law, and is incredibly powerful.

Anyone who encountered him was consumed by him. Before they died, they were unable to break through his defense.

The Star Lord of Yanwu is also the offspring of a star domain god and has inherited the blood of an immortal god, so his combat power is icing on the cake!
"Write this down, this Lord of the Rock Mist Star may very well be my formidable enemy!" Lin Ye looked at the man in khaki armor who stood silently like a stone sculpture, and his vigilance grew.

He is not afraid of opponents with fierce attack power, but he is most afraid of enemies with defense like a turtle shell.

This would cause him enormous consumption.

"But if I meet him, I will fight him quickly and never give him a chance to defend himself."

He already had a plan in mind.

Then, Lin Ye's gaze moved to another place.

A dark-skinned man about four meters tall held his head high and chest puffed out, glancing around arrogantly.

This is a very talented contestant in this competition—Mary Kun from the Ara Black Star Region.

A pair of attacks containing traces of the original laws of water are like a thorn in the flesh, making it impossible to defend against them until they cause death.

He is also an opponent worthy of attention.

As for the other geniuses, those who were not even in the top 20 naturally did not attract Lin Ye's attention.

"I want to have a fight with Rong Jun, Bo Lan, and Qian Shui... to see who is more powerful!"

During the days of special training with Luo Fenghong, Lin Ye found that his combat power had also improved a lot.

As his combat power surged, his confidence and fighting spirit also increased.

While Lin Ye was thinking, the atmosphere of the entire fighting arena became more and more excited with the voice of the beautiful girl host, like a boiling beer barrel that could be completely detonated with just a slight poke.

At this time, the sexy girl's extremely excited voice rang out throughout the fighting arena: "Dear audience! The ring battle is about to begin. Please count down with me and look forward to this showdown between the top talents. 10! 9! 8! ... 3! 2! 1!"

"Boom!"

A deafening roar exploded, and figures appeared in the center of the fighting arena, a total of one hundred people.

They are exactly the young talents we spent so much time introducing before.

"Kanas!!"

“Yasuo!!!”

“Iwagiri!! Iwagiri!!”

"Mary-kun!! Mary-kun!!"

"..."

The cheers were louder and louder, instantly pushing the atmosphere of the entire fighting arena to its peak.

The roaring and fierce cheers swept all around, and even the earth began to tremble slightly.

Lin Ye was not moved at all. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, scanning the many warriors in the center of the arena from time to time.

At this moment, these warriors were all on full alert, looking around carefully.

Because at this moment, everyone around you is your enemy and they are affecting your promotion.

"The battle begins!!"

As a deep voice exploded, thunder rolled in the minds of a billion viewers, including a hundred geniuses.

silence! !
The entire fighting arena instantly fell silent, and the one hundred talented warriors in the center of the arena also moved! !
It moves like thunder, with a terrifying momentum that could cause mountains to collapse and the earth to split!
"Pfft!"

"Hey!"

"Fuck!"

Rays of light flickered, and the talented masters on the ring quickly dodged the attacks. The pervasive field dyed the entire fighting arena colorful, as if a dye vat had been overturned, and all kinds of colors quickly spread out.

The air waves rolled, and the power turned into strands or swords, sweeping in all directions with terrifying power to destroy everything.

In the center of the ring, young geniuses were either running for their lives, taking direct action, or tacitly surrounding and killing one person... The cruelty and scheming of the battle were immediately revealed.

The entire center of the fighting arena was in chaos.

They have to attack and eliminate their opponents, but also prevent other sneak attacks.

"This kind of battle is really interesting." Hong looked at the talented masters who were caught in a chaotic fight, with a fleeting gleam of light in his eyes.

"It's a pity that I can't participate, I can only watch you and Xiao Fengzi perform!" Sitting in the nearby seat, the bald strong man Lei Shen had a helpless look on his face, with deep desire in his eyes.

As a martial arts fanatic who came from the Age of Disaster, he also longed for such a battle.

It’s a pity that the warriors who didn’t make it through the first round of eliminations are not qualified to participate in this arena melee.

Therefore, Thor and the other eliminated Earth warriors could only watch the fierce fight between these warriors with anxiety in their hearts!

"Pfft!!"

As the first talented master was torn apart by a flash of lightning, casualties began to appear in the center of the arena.

6! 13! 34! …

At this time, there were sighs and regrets from many seats in the star fields. It was obvious that the geniuses from their star fields were eliminated.

However, the tense atmosphere continued, like a fire that was constantly fed with fuel, burning out brighter flames time and time again.

……

Soon, the death toll surged.

Soon, only ten geniuses covered in blood were left.

"The first round of competition is over. All the dead are eliminated. The remaining survivors will continue to compete for the 900 places!"

The low voice, neither happy nor sad, echoed in everyone's mind.

In the audience, there were sighs, cheers, wild roars... all kinds of completely different emotions were released through these sounds.

"Next it's Uncle Hong and I's turn!" Luo Feng stood up, his eyes shining with brilliance, and he looked like a sword unsheathed, with his edge fully exposed.

"Perform well and defeat all opponents who stand in your way!" Lin Ye spoke each word in a sonorous voice, and then he stretched out his clenched fist and collided heavily with Luo Feng.

"Yes, I will do it!" Looking at his master, Luo Feng's deep eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he nodded heavily.

"During this period of special training, my strength has increased by about 20% compared to when I just participated in the elimination match. Under the guidance of Master, my understanding of the law of the origin of gold has also deepened a lot, and my combat power has doubled."

As he spoke, Luo Feng smiled and continued: "This time, I will use my divine weapon to sweep away all opponents and advance strongly."

He patted the dark golden stick behind him, full of vigor and vitality.

"Xiao Fengzi, your strength ranks very high in the world. Even in a melee among these one hundred warriors, you can still achieve very good results."

"But I'm not so good. My strength ranks last among the hundred people. I don't think I can hold on until the end." Hong shook his head slightly, and then changed his tone and said: "Despite this, I will not give up easily. I want my quadruple light field to bloom in this fighting field!!"

"Come on! I believe in you!" He looked at this old friend who had walked through the catastrophe era with him, his eyes flashing with golden light.

"There's nothing to be afraid of if we lose. At worst, we can go to the Qianwu Secret Realm together and make progress together!" At this time, two big hands pressed on Luo Feng and Hong respectively. They were Huang Shaoying.

"Yeah!" x2.

For no reason, both of them nodded at the same time.

"Prepare well, it will depend on your performance from now on, don't embarrass the Earth's elite!" Lin Ye said jokingly, but the encouragement in his words was unmistakable.

"I know!"

"understand!"

Luo Feng and Hong looked at each other and both nodded heavily.
