Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 39 First World Zone, Space Flight Base
Virtual universe, a temporarily created private space.

This is a vast and boundless continent, where more than 1.1 trillion geniuses from the entire universe have gathered. Far from feeling crowded, it actually appears somewhat sparse.

In the very center of the continent lies a vast area, which is the assembly area of ​​the 'Northern Holy Land' Academy.

At this moment, hundreds of millions of young people were ready, each dressed in military uniform and holding sharp weapons.

"Shh!"

A streak of light flashed, and Yu Duan, Aarons, Peng Nuolai, and the other four were also teleported over, instantly attracting the attention of those nearby.

"Yu Duan, and a few other senior brothers, hurry up and choose your weapons!" Chi Li immediately came over and reminded them.

According to the rules of the Genius Battle, all participants in the preliminary rounds can simulate a Tier 2 Force Suit and ten weapons and equipment of any level.

The defensive battle suit is special; it doesn't require any understanding of laws or anything like that. Just by wearing it, it can reduce the power of attacks, so it's limited to a second-tier Force battle suit.

Some high-level battle suits, when worn, provide almost impenetrable defense against stellar-level opponents, producing an effect similar to an apprentice-level opponent fighting against the Black God Set.

However, their weapons are different. Whether they are telekinetic weapons or force weapons, regardless of their level, to unleash sufficient power, one needs to have a sufficiently high level of understanding of the laws.

Yu Duan, needless to say, directly chose a Time Sword and a pair of Moon-Treading Boots to aid in the execution of his movement techniques. For his battle armor, he opted for a common second-tier white suit.

“Yu Duan, I’m from the 74th World Region. Which World Region are you from?” An Yao nudged Yu Duan and whispered.

Yu Duan smiled and said, "My number is quite auspicious; it's the 1st World Zone."

As soon as Yu Duan finished speaking, the young man from the Blazing Lotus Divine Royal Family, Clatton, who had come over, was overjoyed: "Senior brother, I'm also from the 1st World District, I want to latch onto your coattails!"

“No problem, but first you have to be able to find me.” Yu Duan naturally wouldn’t refuse.

Upon hearing Yu Duan's words, Clatton chuckled and said, "I'll go find my senior brother. If I can't find him, then so be it."

Craton himself is a genius at the seventh level of the domain, and would be ranked among the top 3 geniuses in the Northern Ming Holy Land.

At least in the preliminary rounds, if we play it safe, there shouldn't be any major problems.

If you encounter fellow disciples from the Holy Land, even if you can't defeat them, you can usually form an alliance.

"Attention all participants, the preliminary elimination rounds are about to begin. Please check your weapons and equipment immediately, as you will not be able to apply for weapons and equipment after the preliminary rounds begin."

With a clear notification sound, a huge 60-second countdown immediately appeared in mid-air and began to tick.

"Go for it!" Chili shook her fluffy tail and said with a grin.

“We’ll meet at the summit!” Yu Duan said with a smile.

As Yu Duan and the others were talking, the countdown entered its final stage.

“5、4、3、2、1，预选开始！”

In an instant, all figures on the entire continent were teleported away.

The ultimate battle of geniuses among humanity in the universe has officially begun!

……

First world zone.

This is a massive man-made structure with multiple levels of interior space, resembling a skyscraper.

On the 24th floor, in a futuristic-themed room, Yu Duan's figure suddenly appeared.

"The gravity here is so weak."

Yu Duan took a moment to feel it, shook his head, shook his hands, stretched his body, and looked around.

The decor... is somewhat similar to a typical spaceship lounge.

Yu Duan raised his right hand, and on the light brain wristband on his right arm was a miniature light screen, on which was Yu Duan's personal information.

Participant: Yu Duan (Northern Ming Universe Kingdom)

Points: 0
Rank: None
World area: First world area

Time: The preliminary elimination rounds will last for 30 days. When the time is up, the preliminary rounds will end, and the winners will be determined by the remaining points.

Note: The First World Zone is a world simulated based on the 'Tianyu Star City' of the Beiming Universe Kingdom in reality. The entire world is a medium-sized space flight base, with a maximum length of 4500 kilometers, a maximum width of 120 kilometers, and a maximum height of 120 kilometers, shaped like a long shuttle.

The interior of Tianyu Star City is divided into 72 layers, with the largest layer covering an area of ​​approximately 54 square kilometers and the smallest layer covering an area of ​​1400 square kilometers.

Inside Tianyu Star City, the strength of all matter and materials is weakened to B9 level, while the outer shell material maintains the D9 level of the real world...

Scoring rules: Killing a player earns 1 point and steals half of the opponent's points.

Leaderboard rules: Deaths result in a halved score, but the deceased still participate in the ranking. If the remaining score is high enough, the deceased can still rank in the top 1001.

A detailed ranking list is attached below…

Yu Duan only glanced at it before reading all the information.

"I never imagined that the world zone's terrain would include a man-made flight base. With over 110 billion participants crammed into such a small space, it seems there's not much effort needed to find prey."

Yu Duan let out a long sigh of relief, then knocked on a dark gold metal cabinet next to him: "Come out."

boom! !

In an instant, the metal cabinet exploded, and countless fragments, like shrapnel from a bomb, raged in all directions at an alarming speed.

At the same time, a jet-black spear shot out from the smoke and dust generated by the explosion, heading straight for Duan's brow.

The next moment, the spear pierced through Yu Duan's forehead.

"Haha, what bad luck..."

A rough laugh had just begun when it abruptly stopped.

Yu Duan's figure suddenly vanished into light and shadow.

At the same time, a sharp fragment from the shattered metal cabinet pierced directly through his chest.

He didn't even realize which direction the sharp fragment came from, because it was too fast to be detected.

boom!
As the figure fell to the ground, the dust that had filled the small area dissipated, revealing a burly young man with two horns on his head.

Even at the very last moment, the burly young man's face still wore a happy smile, a smile that seemed to celebrate a successful start.

The moment the burly young man was killed, Yu Duan's score also broke through from 0 to 1.

Participant: Yu Duan (Northern Ming Universe Kingdom)

Points: 1
Ranking: 7013842
From the start of the qualifiers until now, only about 5 seconds have passed, and more than 700 million people have already earned points.

With over 110 billion participants crammed into a long, shuttle-shaped flight base, the First World Zone was far too crowded.

The carnage erupted the moment the qualifiers began.

Tens of millions of people engaged in life-or-death battles the moment they were teleported to the world zone.

"Boom!"

A violent roar came from a range of about two hundred kilometers ahead, accompanied by a vast and thunderous field.

Immediately following, a golden domain shimmered and spread out, revealing two stellar-level experts with domains engaged in battle.

In such a crowded flight base, the battle between the two seemed to sound the charge, immediately triggering a chain reaction.

Intense battles erupted in every corner of the 72-story space inside the entire flight base.

Various forces and psychic energy fluctuations raged, and dazzling lights and explosions swept outwards.

Thirty seconds into the competition, the battle intensified, with over 3 billion participants either actively or passively engaging in a life-or-death struggle.

"In this kind of chaotic battle, I hope Clayton is lucky enough to live to see me."

Yu Duan's third pupil, located between his eyebrows, opened slightly, and a pure glass sword appeared in his right hand.

Instantly, a deep, dark, lightless realm began to spread outwards from Yu Duan in all directions, like the tentacles of death, reaching out to each and every contestant.
