Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

Gao Sheng, Luo Feng, and several others, along with Nan Si, watched intently, marveling repeatedly.

Hacks, suspended in mid-air, wields a psychic weapon consisting of numerous silver-white needles that combine to form a long dragon.

There were also a large number of fine needles scattered, which quickly spread throughout the surrounding area. Each needle was stimulated to emit a silver light, and in an instant, the world turned into a silver world!

Gao Sheng nodded in approval, then used a portion of his mental energy to control the fine needles and combine them with his domain. This move was indeed powerful; his domain was at the fourth level, probably no worse than others at the fifth level.

Gage, however, held a shield, which formed a sealed defensive formation as he swung it, making it impossible for the thin silver snake to bypass the shield.

He was originally at the fifth level of the Domain Realm, and his shield was impenetrable. With a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, he walked step by step toward Hax, his aura becoming more and more terrifying.

Although these two individuals are not stronger than Gao Sheng in terms of domain level, they are at the cosmic level. Their domain strength, domain application, combat skills, and willpower far surpass Gao Sheng and the other two, including Luo Feng.

"It seems like Gage might win. Gao Sheng, you two have lost a lot of money on those 20000 trillion." Hong frowned. He could accept losing 1 million himself, but he felt sorry for Gao Sheng.

A difference of one level in domains is a difference of one level. Although Hax managed to close the gap with his exquisite domain control, he also scattered his psychic power. Although he was a psychic and Gai was a martial artist, the Giant Axe Arena still believed that Gai had a much greater chance of winning, and there was a reason for that.

At the cosmic level, a mentalist doesn't have much of an advantage over a martial artist.

It's not that someone at the fifth level of the Domain Realm can necessarily defeat someone at the fourth level. Warrior talents and combat skills are equally important. But between these two, whose combat power is weaker?

"Don't worry, we haven't lost yet. Maybe that Hacks will make a breakthrough," Gao Sheng said with a smile.

Nan Si nervously clung to Gao Sheng's arm.

As Gage closed in on Hax and unleashed his swordsmanship, Hax drew his twin swords to defend and then launched a soul attack.

Useless!

Gage was completely unaffected! The vibrant blade shadows surged forth, growing stronger and stronger...

……

"Hmm?" Luo Feng's expression changed.

"There's hope!" Hong's eyes lit up.

The situation on the field suddenly changed. A sharp light shot out from Hax's eyes, and an icy domain enveloped the surrounding world. The three silver snakes seemed to come alive at once, and their speed soared.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Suppress them!

"No!" Gage, with his sword and shield, was struggling to defend himself and could no longer do so.

Whoosh! A thin needle transformed into a silver ray, grazing across Gage's head.

Gage, die!

……

Immediately, a cacophony of voices rose from below the private room.

"This Hawkes actually comprehended the fundamental law at the moment of life and death?"

"It is indeed a fundamental law, it should be the fundamental law of water. Although I have only just grasped it, I have at least stepped through that door."

"Haha, to witness this scene in this life-or-death battle, it was all worth it."

"The laws... When will I be able to comprehend the laws...?"

Numerous murmurs rose from the audience below.

"Hahaha, we've made a fortune!" Gao Sheng laughed loudly.

"We won!" Nan Si, who had been very nervous, revealed a charming smile, hugged Gao Sheng and kissed him. Following the young master, you can't go wrong. The law, that's the law. Can the young master calculate it?

In the blink of an eye, he earned 16500 trillion, which is equivalent to a hundred of the last treasures in the inner world. Young Master is truly amazing! No, it's 33000 trillion.

Luo Feng and Lei Shen both lost their bets, while Hong won 1.65 million.

However, Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and Hong all remained silent for a long time. Even Hong, who had won, silently watched the corpse in the scene that was eventually buried by sand and dust.

"Gage is dead," Luo Feng whispered. "Hacks will need to win 178 more games to go back alive."

"It shouldn't be necessary," Gao Sheng said.

"No need?" the three asked in surprise.

"He will most likely not participate again and will be bought by a major power, paying only a penalty. Although the penalty will be high, it's totally worth it," Gao Sheng said.

It's important to know that Xiao Ai not only shared the secret techniques, but also compiled a lot of collected knowledge into books and placed them in Gao Sheng's personal virtual space.

Gao Sheng is familiar with the basic operating methods of the five major powers, various levels of cosmic nations, and numerous civilian forces.

As the audience gradually logged off and disappeared, Gao Sheng sat down and said, "Just now, Harks comprehended a law. He comprehended a law at the cosmic level. He is an absolute genius. It can be said that he has a very high probability of becoming a realm lord and will definitely be bought by a major power in his cosmic country."

"Of course, the contract is there, and the Giant Axe Arena can't do anything about it if they don't release him. But the key issue is that this Hax can no longer arrange opponents in the Giant Axe Arena. How can you set up betting odds for a match with no suspense? Who will place bets? So, the Giant Axe Arena will definitely release him."

"It's said that this Giant Axe Arena is a place where martial artists are fearless of death and strive for higher levels of life. This is certainly true for Domain Lords and World Lords, many of whom are at the ninth level and nearing their lifespan. But for the Universe level, after looking at the information on these two, do you think it's the same?" Gao Sheng asked.

Hong shook his head: "One is a slave, and the other is a slave who sold himself into servitude. They're not much different from slaves."

Luo Feng and Lei Shen both nodded. These two were definitely not people who volunteered without fear of death.

Gao Sheng said, "The Giant Axe Arena is primarily a place to make money. There's not much value in being a Cosmic-level Giant Axe Warrior. That Nolan Mountain, he's only at the ninth level of the Domain Realm, and he hasn't comprehended any laws. Otherwise, he wouldn't be unable to break through to the Domain Lord level even as he's nearing death. By the way, he was also born a slave. When he became a Giant Axe Warrior after a thousand victories, he was at the seventh level of the Cosmic Realm and the sixth level of the Domain Realm, and only then did he establish the Nolan Mountain family."

Gao Sheng sighed, "Let alone geniuses who comprehend the laws of the universe, even some young universe-level geniuses who can reach the eighth or ninth level of the Domain Realm wouldn't be able to appear here. Even if you wanted to participate, the Giant Axe Arena wouldn't agree; they can't arrange opponents!"

Luo Feng and the other two understood; this cosmic-level martial arts competition was probably not much different from the ancient Roman Colosseum on Earth.

There should only be those who actively participate in the ninth-level cosmic-level arena.

-----------------

A few days after watching the martial arts battle, the energy crystals that Gao Sheng had ordered arrived.

Because the quantity was so large this time, Rod had to contact many parties and sign a bunch of contracts to get so much stock.

An energy crystal worth 100 billion cosmic coins!

This was just Gao Sheng testing the progress bar to calculate how much was needed; he knew that this amount was definitely not enough.

In the underground training room of the castle, Gao Sheng was alone, throwing piles of energy crystals into the system space until the charging progress bar became 1/10000.

"It cost a little less than 3500 million Cosmic Coins in total, so filling it up would require approximately 3500 billion Cosmic Coins." Gao Sheng nodded.

"It's alright, a thousand times, not outrageous, nothing to worry about."

This is indeed a piece of cake, but what about the third time, 350 mixed units?

Gao Sheng felt overwhelmed just thinking about it, so he could only ignore it for now and deal with the future later.

……

In the newly expanded largest energy crystal specialty store in Qiulong City, a seemingly ordinary ninth-level Hengxing entered.

A portly manager immediately came forward to greet him: "Mr. Yasuo, you've arrived. Please, please."

This Mr. Yasuo is their store's number one VIP customer.

In the VIP room, Gao Sheng's older sister, Ling Duo, was incredibly welcoming. "Mr. Yasuo, you just had a new order, what's this time?"

Yasuo showed no arrogance whatsoever, and even bowed humbly: "I'm sorry, the last order wasn't enough, we need to place another order."

He dared not put on airs; his master had instructed him to be respectful to Manager Lingduo.

"Oh? How much more do you need?" Lingduo was overjoyed.

"Please add another 3500 billion cosmic coins, at least grade C or higher," Yasuo said, bowing.

Lingduo's stunningly beautiful face froze instantly. 3500 billion cosmic coins?

Is this the kind of business their branch can handle? Where do they get the funds to purchase inventory?

"To make it easier for your company to arrange the goods, I can pay a 100% deposit, payment in advance, delivery later," Yasuo continued.

My God! What kind of cosmic benefactor is this?!
