Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

Ding ding ding ding!

Bai Luoyan's sword aura continued to intensify, its power even subtly overshadowing the silver dragon.

At this moment, Baiyuan was putting in all his strength.

He trembled all over, his muscles were tense to the extreme, his heart rate soared to an alarming rate, and every nerve was like a bowstring stretched to its limit!

"This feeling... is the opportunity for a breakthrough!"

Bai Yuan instantly caught the sign of an impending breakthrough, immediately focused his mind, and decided to make one last desperate attempt.

Before participating in the clan competition, he had already broken through to the peak of the eighth level of apprentice, and was only one step away from the ninth level of apprentice.

After a series of battles, his physical potential was continuously explored, and now, there are finally signs of a breakthrough.

Of course, this breakthrough was also very dangerous. If it were interrupted halfway, it could very likely leave hidden injuries.

However, even if the breakthrough fails and leaves hidden injuries, with the Blade Clan's resources, healing such injuries is not difficult.

Among the cosmic-level powerhouses watching the battle, some had already noticed something amiss.

"He's aiming for the ninth level of the Apprentice rank! He's incredibly bold!"

"Hehe, otherwise how could they have cultivated to this level? Breaking through in dire circumstances is the path of the strong."

"That's right. The reason why my Blade Clan can stand tall in the universe is not because of bloodline talent, but because of this will to live in the face of death."

Clearly, most people approve of Baiyuan's plan to force a breakthrough.

Under extreme pressure, at the moment when both mind and body reach their peak, a certain barrier within Baiyuan's body shatters.

Cellular activity surges dramatically, the texture of bones and muscles subtly transforms, and muscles and skin undergo imperceptible strengthening.

Apprentice Level 9, Breakthrough!

With the breakthrough in his realm, Bai Yuan's power surged instantly, doubling in size compared to before!

"not good!"

Just as Bai Xingyun and Bai Luoyan realized the change, a tremendous force, like a tidal wave, swept over them, instantly sending the silver dragon and Bai Luoyan flying.

They never expected that at this crucial moment, Baiyuan would be able to withstand the pressure of the two people's combined attack and complete the breakthrough.

"What's your name?" Bai Luoyan steadied herself, her tone softening with an unprecedented gentleness, yet concealing an undeniable tremor.

Before coming to participate in the clan competition, she never thought she would lose.

According to her great-grandfather, her talent was a level that was only seen once every few decades in the entire Blade Clan, far surpassing that of ordinary elites.

But today's battle completely exceeded her expectations.

Bai Xingyun, standing to the side, appeared much calmer.

Unlike Bai Luoyan, he came from an ordinary background and had a narrow vision. He only knew that there were many geniuses on Blade Star and that he was just one of them. Victory and defeat were just the norm.

He was unaware that, in the tens of thousands of previous grand competitions, his strength and talent would have been enough to secure him the top spot.

"Baiyuan, may I ask your names?" Baiyuan asked.

He also greatly admired the two people in front of him.

Ultimately, I was able to get to this point by relying on the system's enlightenment, while these two relied on their own talent.

"A Hundred Wild Geese".

"Hundred Star Cloud".

After the three introduced themselves, Bai Xingyun spoke again: "In terms of strength, I admit that I am inferior to Brother Yuan. The battle that follows will be between me and Luo Yan."

"Then let's do it. If I can gain some insights from this battle, perhaps I'll still have a chance to compete with Baiyuan. I think you're thinking the same thing."

Bai Luoyan nodded in agreement, simultaneously revealing the other person's true feelings.

Bai Xingyun did not refute this; he did indeed hold this idea.

Continuing to fight two against one, I'm afraid we still won't be able to win.

The only possibility is to break through in battle, just like Baiyuan, and go even further.

"Okay, I'll just watch."

Baiyuan readily agreed.

As Bai Yuan retreated, clearing the battlefield for the two, Bai Luoyan and Bai Xingyun clashed fiercely once again.

Thirty-three blades transformed into a silver storm that swept across the entire arena, with sword light and afterimages everywhere.

Both of them gave their all, playing at their best, without holding back.

Finally, Bai Luoyan seized a fleeting opportunity, broke through the layers of flying blades, and flashed in front of Bai Xingyun.

Bai Xingyun did not sit idly by and wait for death. He slashed out with both swords at the same time, and recklessly urged all the flying blades to return at high speed.

This attack carried a resolute determination to perish together with the enemy.

puff!

The sword pierced Bai Xingyun's chest, instantly defeating him.

As Bai Luoyan tried to block the oncoming twin blades, her movements faltered slightly, and a blade that had shot back from a blind spot pierced her vital organs, causing her life force to suddenly wane.

Two beams of white light flashed in succession, and the two were simultaneously teleported out of the Blade Tomb World.

"They died together!"

"It wasn't a complete mutual destruction. Bai Xingyun was killed on the spot, while Bai Luoyan was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Strictly speaking, Bai Luoyan still had a slight advantage."

"These two are truly terrifying; I just never expected it to end like this."

The most unexpected one was Baiyuan.

He originally thought they would have to fight again, but he never expected the two of them to fight to this extent.

Before he could react, he was enveloped in a white light.

Not only him, but all the contestants who remained in the Blade Tomb world were teleported out at the same moment.

In the square, the figures of all the contestants reappeared.

At the same time, a figure slowly descended from the sky.

His aura was as vast as the starry sea, and the entire world seemed to tremble slightly at his arrival.

"It's Lord Falling Rock!"

Someone shouted it out first, and then a deafening roar of worship echoed throughout the square.

"Greetings, Lord Falling Rock!"

Bai Luoyan smiled, seemingly in a very good mood.

He first looked at Bai Luoyan with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and then looked at Bai Yuan and Bai Xingyun.

"Luo Yan, come back." He spoke softly, and Bai Luo Yan's figure appeared beside him.

Then, he looked at Bai Xingyun: "Your talent is remarkable. Although I mainly cultivate martial arts and the Law of Wind, I also have some knowledge of the Law of Water and the Path of Spiritual Mastery. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

These words caused a stir throughout the room.

A realm lord-level powerhouse...personally accepted a disciple!

"This disciple is willing!" Bai Xingyun agreed without hesitation.

Such an opportunity is rare indeed; how could he possibly miss it?

Bai Luoyan nodded slightly, his smile deepening. With a thought, he summoned Bai Xingyun to his side as well.

Finally, his gaze fell on Baiyuan.

"I have nothing to teach you," Bai Luoyan said slowly, a battle blade appearing in his hand.

"I'll give you this fifth-tier Force weapon."

The battle sword was entirely black, with dark gold patterns flowing along its blade. Even when simply held in the palm of one's hand, it exuded a chillingly sharp aura.

Everyone in the room looked on with envy.

That's a fifth-tier Force weapon, a treasure that many people could never reach in their entire lives.

Not to mention these younger generations, even the many cosmic-level powerhouses watching the battle had a hint of fervor in their eyes.

Even if you don't use a Tier 5 Force weapon, you can still exchange it for a huge amount of resources.

A typical fifth-tier Force weapon is worth around several million cosmic coins.

Those of slightly better quality can reach hundreds of billions, or even approach one Hunyuan unit!

It's worth noting that the price of an entire galaxy is between one thousand and ten thousand cosmic coins.
