Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

"Damn it, this guy's illusions are too realistic; I can't tell which one is the real one at all!"

"Watch out! He's too fast with his knife!"

"That female swordsman was amazing enough, but I didn't expect this person to be just as extraordinary."

"This year's competition is really fierce, everyone's tougher than the last."

More than a dozen people stared intently at the figure at the foot of the mountain, their expressions extremely solemn.

Bai Xingyun, wielding two swords, resembled a war god, approaching the crowd step by step.

"What? You started it, and now you want to back down?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned extremely grim.

They knew the other side was strong, but they never expected them to be this strong!

First, the artistic conception was quite strange, as it could condense a phantom that was difficult to distinguish from the real one. They couldn't see through it, so they had no choice but to disperse their strength to attack both the real body and the phantom body at the same time.

What's even more troublesome is his knife, which is incredibly fast.

The interplay of reality and illusion, combined with this lightning-fast swordsmanship, is like adding wings to a tiger.

If that's all there is to it, then a fight might still be possible.

The biggest problem is that the opponent's combat awareness is far too advanced!

He seemed to have already seen through the mentalist's attack, and dealt with it calmly.

After discussing it, everyone realized that this was a tough nut to crack, so they decided to back out.

As everyone left, Bai Xingyun slowly sheathed his sword and shook his head slightly.

"I was thinking about whether to bring out our strongest forces, but I didn't expect them to run away first."

It's not that he regrets it too much, because he has found a more suitable goal in mind.

"A female swordsman? She sounds like she's even stronger than I just showed."

"I hope it's an opponent worthy of my full effort."

-

As time went on, one after another, young members of the Blade Clan were eliminated.

Meanwhile, the outside world was already in an uproar.

Surprisingly, the focus of the argument was not the grudges and feuds within the Blade Tomb world, but rather who they believed would win the championship.

"I'm putting my word on this: the champion of this competition is definitely that female swordsman! If I'm wrong, I'll chew this Force Blade up and swallow it right in front of you!"

"In terms of combat strength, that female swordsman is indeed outstanding. However, the rankings in the competition are always based on a comprehensive evaluation, and there have been precedents in previous years where someone was eliminated early but ended up being ranked first. In my opinion, Baiyuan has the best chance."

"Me too! Baiyuan is only at the eighth level of apprenticeship, yet his strength is already so terrifying. If he reaches the ninth level, wouldn't he sweep the entire field? This first place is undoubtedly his."

"Actually, Bai Xingyun is quite strong too, I think he has a chance."

"That dual-sword master? He's strong, and his understanding of the essence of the art is quite astonishing, but compared to the previous two... he's still lacking something."

These young people naturally lack the vision of cosmic-level powerhouses, so in their eyes, fighting beyond their level is the most powerful proof of their talent.

That's why Baiyuan's voice was the loudest among everyone.

Meanwhile, Bai Yuan, who was in the world of Daoling, was completely unaware of what was happening outside.

He was walking among the hills and wastelands, searching for the next worthy opponent.

As he battled against geniuses who had grasped different realms of understanding, his horizons continued to broaden.

The insights gained from each battle are gradually settling deep within his consciousness, becoming an indispensable foundation for his future cultivation path.

Many people do not show extraordinary talent in their early years, but accumulate profound knowledge and skills through countless victories and defeats, experiences and life-or-death situations.

Through the trials of time and the tempering of bloody battles, their talents, like mineral veins buried deep underground, are gradually being unearthed.

If you only care about talent, why bother finding a master to learn from, why go through trials and tribulations, and just sit back and wait to become stronger?

Ultimately, how many of the unparalleled powerhouses who reach the pinnacle weren't forced by reality to achieve their goals step by step in their youth?

We must contend with Heaven, with Earth, and with other people.

The one who ultimately triumphs is destined to stand at the pinnacle of the universe, with countless defeated souls beneath their feet.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

By this day, of the original ten million participants, only three thousand remain.

On this day, a strange change suddenly occurred.

The eliminated contestants, waiting for the final results in the square, suddenly noticed a change in the sky above them. A clearly visible projection screen then appeared above their heads.

The scene depicts a vast, boundless plain.

On the plain, three figures unknowingly came together.

"Oh? It's him?" Baiyuan looked at the figures walking from the other two directions, his eyes flickering slightly.

The figure in the blue robe was the mysterious young man he had met once before.

Bai Xingyun's heart was also filled with turmoil. When they first met, although he admired Bai Yuan's lofty ambitions, he did not take his strength seriously.

He never expected that his opponent's strength was so unfathomable, and that fighting someone of a higher level was as easy as eating and drinking.

As for Bai Luoyan, she saw that the two of them were calm and composed, seemingly not taking them seriously at all.

"What do you two think? Should we draw lots for one-on-one matches, or go straight for a three-on-one free-for-all?" Baiyuan asked with a smile.

Since they've run into each other, a battle is inevitable.

"No need for such trouble, all of you come at once," Bai Luoyan said slowly.

There was not a trace of arrogance in her tone, only a faint indifference, as if everything was just as it should be.

Both Bai Xingyun and Bai Yuan were taken aback, not expecting to be so disrespected by the other party.

The two exchanged a glance, and then Bai Xingyun slowly said, "Since you've said you're going to take on both of us, then we won't stand on ceremony."

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Baiyuan struck first, his battle blade slashing down with a powerful and forceful strike.

On the other side, Bai Xingyun was not to be outdone. He wielded his twin swords wildly, and a phantom body that perfectly matched his figure and posture appeared beside him, making it impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion.

"They have some strength, much stronger than the previous ones, but still not enough." Bai Luoyan smiled calmly, praising the two's strength.

Whoosh!

Before she finished speaking, she gracefully began to dance, like a lone goose spreading its wings, and in a daze, she was already in front of the two of them.

Before the sword even arrived, the chilling sword intent swept over them like a cold tide, and a solid sword beam, like the light of dawn, attacked Baiyuan and Baixingyun!

boom!

The explosion resounded across the plain, and Bai Yuan and Bai Xingyun were both sent flying backward, actually being forced back several feet by this sword strike.

In contrast, Bai Luoyan landed lightly with a twirl, her clothes fluttering, her expression as still as water.

"Two... no, three different realms of artistic conception!" Baiyuan's arm, which was gripping the knife, felt a slight numbness, and he was horrified.

"And her explosiveness is even greater than mine!"

Although the opponent's amplitude of force was not as great as his, the opponent's strength was much greater than his, almost twice that of him.

In addition, his opponent was also extremely fast and much more agile than him.

He has the upper hand in both strength and speed!

"Tsk tsk, looks like I'll have to go all out. But fighting against such a genius is truly exhilarating!"

On the other side, Bai Xingyun also had a solemn expression. His incredibly realistic illusion was meaningless in the eyes of his opponent.

In terms of artistic conception, his opponent was clearly a cut above him, and his Water Moon artistic conception was completely ineffective at this moment.

But after a brief moment of astonishment, a burning fire ignited in his eyes.

"Excellent! Only an opponent like this deserves my full strength!"
