Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

"You are very strong," Yunhai suddenly spoke, his voice booming through his domain, "but the difference between domains is ultimately worlds apart."

He raised his longsword high, and the power of his domain converged wildly, making the entire space seem like a sea in his palm.

A deep blue vortex emerged from the tip of the sword, slowly rotating, and wherever it passed, it seemed to devour and distort even space itself.

Baiyuan gripped his battle sword tightly, and an unprecedented aura rose from his body.

"This move isn't perfect yet, but it's enough!"

The next moment, he swung his knife.

There were no earth-shattering sword flashes, nor any vast expansion of territory.

Only a single, perfectly condensed, hazy gray blade of light slashed out from the blade, colliding head-on with the all-consuming deep blue vortex.

boom!

In just a split second, the terrifying deep blue vortex was cleaved in two by this hazy gray blade of light!

The deep blue vortex tried to obliterate the blade's edge, but it was unable to infuse the power of obliteration into it.

That seemingly ordinary blade of light flowed endlessly, as if it contained inexhaustible energy.

"change!"

Seeing that this tactic was not going to work, Yunhai immediately changed his strategy.

The deep-sea vortex suddenly dissipated, turning into countless water droplets that rained down on Baiyuan!

Puff! Puff! Puff...

Almost simultaneously, the resilient blade of light pierced through Yun Hai's defenses, forcing him to use power surpassing the second level of the Hengxing realm to block the attack.

He hurriedly looked towards where Baiyuan was, only to see that Baiyuan's entire body had transformed into a body of metal, and with the Force Armor absorbing most of the impact, this attack ultimately failed to harm him in the slightest.

"It seems I have won this battle," Baiyuan said with a smile.

Yun Hai was deeply shaken, his will nearly collapsing, but he still nodded, acknowledging the fact.

"How could this be? I can't even beat you? Who are you anyway?"

"Hehe, don't be surprised." Baiyuan shrugged.

"Judging from your situation, you probably haven't received good guidance from a good teacher. Apart from your field, you're not exactly a complete mess in other areas, but you're just average."

He was indeed quite surprised at first, but after actually fighting, he realized that Yunhai and Shisha were similar in that they were quite ordinary in all aspects except for their domains.

If Yunhai had mastered a slightly stronger killing move, Baiyuan wouldn't be confident of victory.

This is the drawback of only knowing how to shut oneself in seclusion and practice asceticism.

As for the decisive battle space, although one can fight against strong opponents, it is ultimately not a true life-or-death struggle and it is difficult to unleash deeper potential.

Yunhai gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Over the years, he had always believed that his talent was unparalleled in the world, but now he thinks it's utterly ridiculous.

The world he saw was merely the tip of the iceberg in the vast universe.

Yunhai closed his eyes: "I lost. You can do it now."

Baiyuan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"No rush, I can give you two choices."

"First, disband the Cloud Sea Society and follow me from now on. Of course, you must have biochips implanted."

"Second, if you refuse to submit even unto death, then I will finish you off."

Yunhai and Yunluo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with struggle.

As the lords of their planet, they had always been high above others, but now they were to become slaves to others, which was hard for them to accept.

After a moment of silence, Yunhai finally gritted his teeth and said:

"I agree, but I have one condition: you cannot force us brothers to do things against our conscience."

Baiyuan chuckled softly upon hearing this:

"Don't worry, I'm not a good person, but I'm still better than you. At least I won't kill someone just because I covet their treasure."

Yunhai and Yunluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Remember our domain name: [domain name omitted], you can read our content anytime.

As for the sarcasm in Baiyuan's words, they simply pretended not to hear it.

Yunhai's talent is indeed rare, which is why Baiyuan was unwilling to kill him.

If I had to describe it, his talent would probably be one in ten thousand galaxies.

And so, the once-thriving Yunhai Association in this area disbanded on the spot.

The brothers Yunhai and Yunluo were implanted with biochips and became Baiyuan's servants.

"There's no need for that expression. With your current strength, there's absolutely no hope of breaking into the top 1,000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom during the Genius Battle. Staying by my side might not be a bad thing. When you're strong enough in the future, you'll naturally be able to break free of the chip and regain your freedom."

Baiyuan spoke calmly, comforting the two of them.

However, both of them were suffering inside; if they could, who would want to be someone else's slave?

Yunhai looked at Baiyuan and said in a deep voice, "Could these two spar with me?"

"Don't ask me, ask them if they want to," Baiyuan replied.

Although the four of them became his slaves, Baiyuan did not impose many restrictions on them, and they were free to arrange their own time most of the time.

Long Qi and Aidas naturally did not refuse. Being able to fight against such a genius would be a rare gain for them as well.

After traveling through the dark universe for half a month, Baiyuan finally arrived at his destination.

The planet in the distance seemed to be completely encased in metal, its surface covered with various laser cannons and laser turrets, cold and austere.

"Where is this?" Yunhai was taken aback.

Yunhai also set up defensive fortifications, but they only covered part of the area.

The planet before us has been almost entirely transformed into a steel fortress.

"One of the Blade Legion's strongholds," Baiyuan said.

He stowed the spaceship and flew towards the planet with the four of them.

As soon as they approached the star field, a cold voice rang out:

"Who are you? Outsiders are not allowed to enter this area."

"I am Baiyuan, and I've come to see my second uncle, Baitianning."

As Baiyuan spoke, he removed his helmet, revealing his true face.

When the other person saw his face, their tone softened slightly:

"Please wait a moment, I will inform the commander immediately."

Soon after, Bai Tianning's figure flew out from the planet, followed by a man and a woman, who were Mo Gu and Mo Jin, the brother and sister.

More than three years have passed since we last met, and Mogu has now broken through to the eighth level of the planetary realm.

Mo Jin, who possesses second-class bloodline, has reached the fifth level of Hengxing, three levels higher than Baiyuan.

Such a cultivation speed is simply outrageous.

"Xiao Yuan, why did you suddenly come here?" Bai Tianning asked with a smile, his gaze then falling on Bai Yuan's back.

"Who are these people?"

With his strength, he could naturally tell that two of the four were at the eighth level of the Universe Realm, one at the second level of the Universe Realm, and the last one was at the ninth level of the Stellar Realm.

Both Mo Gu and Mo Jin looked excited.

If they hadn't met Baiyuan back then, they would probably have lost their lives long ago, and they certainly wouldn't have the strength and status they have today.

Bai Yuan smiled slightly and explained, "These two are Long Qi and Aidas, who are temporarily serving as my guards. As for the other two, Yun Hai and Yun Luo, they originally wanted to steal my treasure, but now they are my servants."

Long Qi and Aidas were taken aback by what they heard, not expecting Bai Yuan to introduce them in this way, thus saving face for them.

Yunhai and Yunluo clenched their fists secretly, vowing in their hearts that one day they would take back everything they had lost today.

Bai Tianning marveled; such strength was enough to establish a powerful force.

If a domain lord-level expert were to be stationed there, it might even be possible to attempt to establish a rudimentary civilization empire.

Thinking about this, he became even more curious about Baiyuan's experiences over the years.

"Come in with me, and remember not to wander around. You are not members of the Legion after all, and you must abide by the rules."
