Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

"I...I am a planetary lord recognized by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire! If you kill me, the Empire will never let you go!" The True Blood Lord said, his voice trembling.

"Oh."

Bai Kuangren chuckled softly, his laughter filled with undisguised sarcasm.

"Within the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, I have fought quite a few World Lords. Apart from Jiang Tianchen, who can suppress me, the others are still far behind."

"As for immortality? Do you think those beings would personally step forward for someone of your cosmic level?"

This is not arrogance. Among the realm lords of the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, Bai Kuangren's strength, even if he can't squeeze into the top five, is definitely in the top ten.

Let alone killing a planetary lord of the universe, even if it were a domain lord-level powerhouse, as long as they weren't from the royal family or the four major organizations, killing them wouldn't be a big deal. Who would dare to seek revenge?

After controlling the True Blood Lord, Bai Kuangren looked at Bai Yuan with satisfaction in his eyes.

"You've already comprehended the second level of the Gold Domain at such a young age. Keep up the good work, and maybe you'll be able to touch the threshold of the Origin Laws when you reach the Eternal Star level."

"I can tell you with certainty that, throughout history, no one in the entire Blade Clan has ever been able to do this. If you can, it means you are the most talented person in the history of the Blade Clan."

Bai Kuangren is aloof and doesn't have many people he truly respects.

And Baiyuan today is one of them.

Back then, he himself only comprehended the domain at the sixth level of the planetary realm, and it wasn't until he advanced to the eternal star level that he stepped into the second realm.

"This junior will do his utmost to live up to your expectations, senior," Baiyuan said respectfully.

At first, he thought that Bai Luoyan was going to make a move against him, so he asked Bai Kuangren for help on a whim.

Unexpectedly, Bai Kuangren happened to be meeting with an old friend in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, and upon receiving the news, he readily agreed.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to let Kulu come here.

"I'll take this person with me for now. I'll come find you after everything is settled," Bai Kuangren nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the True Blood Lord and vanished from the spot in a flash.

Baiyuan stood there, his gaze fixed on Kuruna's gradually cooling corpse, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

Kuru was, after all, a level three elite of the Hundred Tigers Tower. He had a bright future ahead of him. If he had continued to cultivate along the right path, he might have become a powerful figure in the future.

But now, he is like a withered leaf falling silently, quietly perishing in this dark cave.

"Talent, background, opportunity... sometimes can't outweigh a single thought or a single wrong step."

Baiyuan slowly squatted down and gently closed Kuru's still open eyes.

He then left the cave, contacted Pusis, and told her about Kuru's death.

Pushes was equally shocked, but there was nothing he could do.

Baihulou does not cultivate flowers in a greenhouse.

While elite disciples gain access to more resources, they must also constantly undertake dangerous missions, pushing their limits on the edge of life and death to unlock their full potential.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for elite disciples to perish.

But when it actually happened to her, she still felt dazed.

My companions, who were laughing and chatting not long ago, are gone in the blink of an eye.

After ending the communication, Baiyuan returned to the castle and began to analyze the gains, losses, and insights from the battle.

"Water is unpredictable, with tides rising and falling, reaching the ultimate in gentleness..."

Tai Chi inherently has two aspects: Yin and Yang.

The realm of metal represents "supreme strength," and the "Thirty-Threefold Sharp Metal Slash" he cultivated also belongs to the path of fierce power.

However, his "gentleness" has always been his weakness.

Unfortunately, his cultivation time was too short to be comprehensive.

In this battle, he personally experienced the water domain, and the vastness and changes contained within its three levels.

That kind of gentle yet resilient and all-encompassing artistic conception stirred countless ripples in his heart.

With a burst of inspiration, Baiyuan no longer hesitated.

Opportunities are fleeting; now is the time to attain enlightenment!

"System, activate Enlightenment!"

Boom!

It was as if a silent thunderclap had exploded deep within his consciousness, his thoughts surging, and every detail of the previous battle was vividly replayed in his mind.

Swish swish!

Pale blue ripples spread outwards from him, rapidly expanding.

Immediately afterwards, the water ripples became more solid.

At the same time, streaks of golden light suddenly shone through the water, reflecting a flowing golden glow across the entire pale blue surface.

Gradually, the water ripples and golden light stopped clashing and instead slowly merged and subsided.

Finally, the pale blue water ripples disappeared, and the golden halo quietly dissipated.

Baiyuan opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming like deep starlight.

"Ha ha ha ha......"

He finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

This harvest far exceeded his initial expectations.

He originally thought that he could comprehend the realm of water through this battle, which would be his limit.

Unexpectedly, he not only comprehended the realm of water, but also successfully merged the realms of metal and water.

Although it's only a preliminary agreement, it's already a crucial step forward.

The fusion of two basic attributes is certainly not as powerful as higher-level laws like time and space, but if cultivated to its peak, it is equally powerful and can even rival lower-level laws at the initial stage.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the premise that Baiyuan can continue down this path.

Time flies, and two more days have passed.

That day, after collecting Kuru's body, Pushis and the others went to find Baiyuan.

"Did you know? You're already famous within the Hundred Tigers Tower. No, you should say your name has spread among all the major powers in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region."

"The other three major organizations, the sixteen families, and even the two holy lands have all heard the news to varying degrees."

"Huh?" Bai Yuan was taken aback. "Could it be that my performance in the decisive battle space has been exposed? But that can't be right. I only gained nine stars in two days. Is that something to publicize?"

Psy gave him a strange look:

"I suspected it was you back then, and now it seems it really is you, but that's not the point."

"So what's the key point?" Baiyuan asked.

"The key point is that senior Bai Kuangren from your clan has been praising you to the skies in the realm lord circle. Almost every realm lord who is familiar with him knows about it, and then it spread from one to another... Now several forces are planning to send disciples to test your strength."

Bai Yuan's lips twitched violently. He really hadn't expected that Senior Bai Kuangren would have such an interest.

Little did he know that Bai Kuangren had come to see him yesterday. Seeing that he had been in seclusion and cultivating diligently, Bai Kuangren had a sudden inspiration and simply arranged some opponents for him, as a way to train him.

Incidentally... he also wanted to show off to his old friends.

"You always brag to me about how amazing your disciples are, but the younger generation in my clan is no less capable than yours!"

"Every single one of you, as long as you're at the planetary level, is welcome to challenge him. If any of my juniors lose, I'll give each of you 10 billion cosmic coins!"

"On the other hand, if my juniors win, each of you will give me 10 billion cosmic coins."

These are Bai Kuangren's original words.

It was precisely these words that provoked the group of realm lords to nod in agreement, all wanting to see just how capable this junior he spoke of truly was.

As for 10 billion cosmic coins, which is roughly equivalent to 33 trillion Qianwu coins, it can almost buy nearly 50,000 ordinary life-bearing planets.

Some less powerful domain lords who haven't joined any major forces probably only have this much wealth.

However, in the eyes of these realm lords, 10 billion universe coins are nothing more than pocket money.

It's all gone now, just consider it a bit of fun.
