Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 122 The Final Reincarnation Battle

In the first round of the Reincarnation Battle, Qian Shui faced off against Ai Chen, and Ai Chen won.

In the second match, Qian Shui faced Bo Lan, and Bo Lan won.

In the third battle, Qian Shui faced off against Luo Feng, and Luo Feng emerged victorious.

In the fourth match, Qian Shui faced off against Lu Jin.

'Shuh! '

Lu Jin appeared on the arena.

To be honest, there are a lot of beautiful girls in the universe.

Moreover, if we don't delve into age, there are quite a few genius girls.

This talented and beautiful girl from Planet Augustus has long, flowing green hair that is naturally curly, and some green secret patterns on her face.

However, these green patterns do not detract from the girl's beauty at all.

However, the girl's gloomy expression somewhat ruined the beauty of the scene.

There was nothing she could do. After losing three matches in a row, and with Lu Jin, the "ultimate boss," still in the fourth match, she was destined to lose.

In the final stage of the cycle battle, she is destined to be at the bottom and a supporting character; it would be strange if she could even have a smile on her face.

"Please enlighten me!"

Composing himself, Qian Shui had a thought, and the Azure Divine Weapon appeared behind him.

The Azure Divine Weapon is a weapon wielded by the Wood and Void psychic powers among the nine divine weapons.

Its appearance is that of a rhomboid crystal that is entirely emerald green, resembling green jade. It has pointed ends and four obtuse angles in the middle, and is composed of 10081 tiny emerald green rhomboid crystals.

"Come on~!"

Lu Jin beckoned to the girl with his finger.

"Thorn of the Azure Sky Style, go!"

The girl, having stepped into the threshold of the Wood and Void Origin Laws, let out a delicate shout, and the Azure Divine Weapon that appeared behind her shot out a series of green rays of light.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

As if a vibrant emerald light were blooming, strands of green silk were strung together, and 162 tiny emerald green rhomboid crystals instantly gathered and condensed into two foot-long green spears, which shot out toward Lu Jin.

The second level of the Azure Divine Weapon – the Azure Piercing Style!

Given the opponent's terrifying strength, the girl went all out and condensed two 'Piercing Sky Short Spears'.

Seeing this, Lu Jin, riding on the Water Cloud Shuttle, dodged the two emerald green short spears that were coming at him.

Then, with a thought, the illusory bell formed by the soul secret technique "Soul Suppressing Bell" within his sea of ​​consciousness surged, and an invisible and intangible soul power surged out, enveloping Qian Shui.

In a moment of confusion, Qian Shui saw that during his battle with Lu Jin, he had unleashed his inner power, his understanding of the fundamental laws of wood and space had surged, and his control over the Azure Divine Weapon had broken through one after another.

After a fierce battle, amidst cheers, she finally pierced the head of the Great Demon King Lu Jin with the fifth level of the Azure Divine Weapon—the Azure Spear—and won the duel.

Moreover, with three losses and one win in four battles, she should have been denied entry to the 'Primitive Secret Realm'.

But at that moment, the Venerable One who presided over this year's Genius Battle descended from the sky and said, "Qian Shui, congratulations! In view of your continuous breakthroughs and your defeat of Lu Jin, after discussion among the senior management of my Virtual Universe Company, you have been granted the qualification to enter the 'Primal Secret Realm'!"

"Really? Hahaha~"

The girl, her ego inflated, put her left hand on her hip and burst into manic laughter.

Suddenly, the whole world went dark, and then light came back.

"Hahaha~"

Looking at her brother Jiang Mo, who was standing beside her with an expression of doting on his idiot-like behavior, and the girl who was laughing wildly, the smile on her face instantly froze.

After a moment of hesitation, Qian Shui, with a bad feeling in her heart, lowered her left hand from her hip and asked, "Did I laugh like that on the stage earlier?"

Jiang Mo nodded.

Qian Shui covered her face
At the same time, Lu Jin, who first controlled Qian Shui with illusion magic and then killed him with a soul attack, thus winning the first victory in the Samsara Battle, was also teleported outside the arena by the virtual universe system.

After four matches, the fifth place among the top five has been determined, which is Qian Shui, who lost all four matches.

The cycle of battles continues, and each battle has a short interval between it.

Five minutes later, the fifth battle began.

In this battle, Ai Chen faced Bo Lan, and Bo Lan won.

In the sixth match, Ai Chen faced off against Luo Feng, and Luo Feng emerged victorious.

In the seventh match, Ai Chen faced off against Lu Jin.

'Shuh! '

On the arena, Lu Jin's figure materialized.

Similar to Qian Shui before her, Ai Chen, who comes from the Dream Wing Clan, is also a genius and beautiful girl.

Wielding the platinum-colored 'Light and Time' sword-type divine weapon, the Holy Light Sword, dressed in a white feather robe, with a pair of wings on her back and a golden crystal between her brows, she resembled an exquisitely beautiful holy sword angel.

After a moment's hesitation, Ai Chen parted her red lips slightly and said, "Could we not use illusion magic?"

Having witnessed Qian Shui's tragic end, Ai Chen didn't want to suffer the same fate.

"can."

Lu Jin nodded.

The next moment, Ai Chen, a martial artist, transformed into a white light and rushed towards Lu Jin.

"Ice Cone Style, Freeze!"

Lu Jin raised his hand and pointed, and a dazzling blue light burst forth, forming nine foot-long ice cones.

“Swoosh!” “Swoosh!” “Swoosh!” “Swoosh!” “Swoosh!”

Nine foot-long blue ice cones burst forth as streaks of light.

Ai Chen comprehended the laws of light and time, but did not cultivate a spatial illusion body.

However, spatial phantoms are not the only illusory forms in the universe that involve higher laws.

A transparent ripple, like water, appeared around Ai Chen, and nine afterimages appeared behind him.

The next moment, Ai Chen, who was rushing towards Lu Jin, was hit by nine foot-long ice spikes that shot towards him.

However, those hit by the ice spikes seemed to be just phantoms, and did not cause any damage to Ai Chen.

However, the nine phantoms that Ai Chen had created behind him had all disappeared.

In fact, just before being hit by the nine foot-long ice spikes, Ai Chen left a time illusion in place. At the same time, relying on his own understanding of the fundamental laws of time, he instantly merged into one of the nine time illusions behind him.

Nine ice spikes fell one after another, and Ai Chen left nine time illusions in the same spot. She also instantly merged into the nine time illusions. This is why Lu Jin's attack only pierced Ai Chen's nine illusions and failed to harm her real body.

Seeing this, Lu Jin raised an eyebrow, and the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon on his back once again shot out a string of blue light.

"call out!"

After the 81 tiny blue cones converged and condensed into a foot-long blue ice cone, it shot straight toward Ai Chen.

If Ai Chen had not been hiding her strength, she could only condense a maximum of nine time illusions at the same time, which is equivalent to nine spatial illusions.

Nine consecutive attacks couldn't defeat you, so now I'll add another one, making it ten attacks in a row, along with the previous nine foot-long ice spikes. May I ask, young lady, how will you deal with this? Of course, this doesn't mean that you can't defeat Ai Chen without ten consecutive attacks.

Whether it's spatial illusion or temporal illusion, both require a high level of skill from the cultivator.

It's like dancing on a knife's edge; in the process of dodging, even the slightest mistake will result in GG.

For example, Ai Chen could dodge nine attacks in one or two waves.

However, with more waves, such extreme maneuvers are bound to result in mistakes. At that point, it won't be the illusion of time that gets hit, but her real body.

Moreover, this was without Lu Jin using any other methods.

If an illusion were added to confuse them, even for just a moment, it would be enough to make the attack land on Ai Chen's true body.

As expected, ten ice spikes burst forth in a short instant. Nine of them shattered Ai Chen's nine time illusions. Before Ai Chen could condense time illusions again, the tenth foot-long ice spike slammed into his real body.

"boom--"

With a loud bang, Ai Chen, who had been hit by the foot-long ice spike, turned into a handful of ice crystal powder and vanished into nothingness. Then his figure reappeared in the central square outside the arena.

Meanwhile, the fourth place in this year's Peak Genius Battle has been determined, and it is Ai Chen, who has one win and three losses in four matches.

Soon, the eighth battle of the cycle began, with Bolan facing off against Luo Feng.

Lu Jin was paying close attention to this battle.

Because in the original work, Berlan is the first.

In the original novel, Luo Feng had the strength to rank in the top five and even had a chance to compete for second place, but when he was in the "top ten to top five" round, he encountered Long Yun, who was extremely good at defense.

In the end, Luo Feng failed to break through Long Yun's "turtle shell". After the arena area shrank to the point where he had no room to dodge, he was eliminated by Long Yun, who had super strong defense and was not weak in attack. He only made it into the top ten.

The question remains: can Luo Feng defeat Bolan in his current state?
At the very start of the match, the captain's arena, which originally only had two figures, was now filled with countless phantoms.

Whether it was Bolan or Luo Feng, they both cultivated numerous spatial illusion bodies.

However, in terms of understanding the laws of space, Bolan, who has a huge advantage in terms of cultivation time, is much better than Luo Feng, and is able to condense thousands of spatial illusions.

Aside from his own affinity space with the Demon Slayer Clan clones, Luo Feng's human body can only condense a maximum of 99 spatial illusions, placing him at the peak of the 'Nine-Line Flow' level.

Fortunately, Luo Feng's comprehension of the laws of space was somewhat inferior to that of Bo Lan, but thanks to the body of the Golden Horned Beast, Luo Feng's comprehension of the lower-level laws of metal was much stronger than Bo Lan's comprehension of the lower-level laws of wind.

Before reaching the Immortal stage, a cultivator's strength is not directly linked to higher-level laws.

As long as one's understanding of the lower-level laws is deep enough, and other factors that constitute combat power are also up to par, then defeating an opponent with a deeper understanding of the higher-level laws is not impossible.

Bolan comprehended the lower law as wind, but the higher law as space.
The lower-level laws corresponding to the higher-level space only include metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but not wind.

All I can say is that this is very Berlan.

The universe is so vast that there is nothing strange.

It's understandable that geniuses think differently from others.

After all, how can I know whether I'm more suited to space or time if I don't try dual cultivation of space and time?
At this moment, the two sides on the stage had officially begun their fight.

Berlan's wind domain shone forth, with azure energy spreading throughout, capable of condensing numerous spatial illusions.

But Luo Feng was no pushover either. He unleashed the third level of the Divine Weapon, the 'Heavenly Sword Style,' and nine golden swords materialized. Centered on himself, a spherical space with a radius of 300 meters was filled with countless dazzling golden sword energies, giving Bo Lan no chance whatsoever.

In the battle of geniuses, you can choose any weapon, but for armor you can only choose a second-tier Force suit at most.

The defense of a second-tier Force suit is far from sufficient to withstand the attacks unleashed by geniuses.

Therefore, geniuses who have reached this stage can basically be described as glass cannons.

Once Luo Feng is surrounded and attacked by Bo Lan's spatial illusions, he will surely be doomed.

Similarly, after Luo Feng unleashed the third level of the Divine Weapon, the 'Heavenly Sword Style,' transforming the spherical space within a radius of three hundred meters around him into a 'world of sword energy,' Bolan dared not force his way in.

Otherwise, the countless golden sword energies filling this 'sword energy world' would be enough to instantly annihilate all his spatial illusions, including his true body.

'Looks like I've really become Luo the Second this time.'

After watching for a moment, Lu Jin thought to himself.

When the ring space is large enough, the two sides are locked in a stalemate.

Bolan dared not force his way into Luo Feng's 'sword qi world', and Luo Feng was equally unable to catch up with Bolan, who was agile and had many spatial illusions.

However, the size of the fighting arena is not always constant.

To avoid such stalemates, the arena will gradually shrink over time.

Once the arena space shrinks to a diameter of 600 meters, Luo Feng only needs to stand in the center of the arena, and the entire arena will be enveloped by the 'sword energy world' formed by the Heavenly Sword Style. At that time, Bo Lan will have nowhere to hide.

As the saying goes, fortunes change. The reason why Luo Feng in the original novel stopped at the top ten and failed to enter the top five was because of the shrinking mechanism of the battle arena.

However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Luo Feng's victory over Bo Lan was also due to the shrinking mechanism of the arena.

Bolan, who was fighting Luo Feng, was obviously aware of this as well, and intensified his offensive.

Unfortunately, Luo Feng's defense was impenetrable.

Whenever Bolan showed any inclination to charge into the 'Sword Qi World' and launch a strong attack, Luo Feng would mobilize all his golden sword qi to indiscriminately cover all of Bolan's figures, ensuring that no one could escape and get close.

As long as he perseveres, he will be the one standing at the end of this duel, so Luo Feng will naturally not take any more risks.

Disregarding martial ethics?

I, Luo Feng, am no longer a human being, so why should I talk about martial ethics?
A few minutes later, the arena space shrank significantly, and the space for dodging became very limited. Luo Feng used the countless golden sword energies derived from the 'Sword Qi World' to annihilate all of Bo Lan's spatial illusions, and then shot Bo Lan's real body into a sieve.

The battle ended, and the next second, the two figures materialized in the plaza outside the arena.

In the eighth match, Bolan faced Luo Feng, and Luo Feng won!

A few minutes later, the ninth battle of the cycle began.

'Swish!' 'Swish!'

Lu Jin and Bo Lan appeared on the fighting stage.

"You're strong, but I won't give up!"

"Dressed in white and holding a blood-red longsword, Berlan spoke with a cold expression."

"Ah."

Lu Jin smiled and nodded.

The battle began the next moment.

"Snowflakes fall, then freeze!"

Lu Jin raised his hand and pointed, and the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon on his back shot out a long string of blue light.

A burst of icy blue light erupted, and 1600 tiny blue cones converged and solidified into an ice crystal snowball covered with mysterious patterns.

"call--"

The ice crystal snowball spun rapidly, instantly forming a massive ice and snow storm. As the extreme cold spread, it swept towards Berlan in an overwhelming manner.

Berlan: "."

Looking at the overwhelming snowstorm sweeping in, Berlan suddenly felt unwell again.
