Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

As soon as Baiyuan returned to the arena, a tall figure stood in front of him.

"A single soul attack can kill a berserker; even the Queen of Spirits doesn't possess such power. Just who are you?"

The man was at least six meters tall, clad in dark purple armor, and carried a massive battle blade on his back, exuding an imposing aura.

Just then, several figures flew out of the arena and respectfully bowed to him.

"Greetings, God of War!"

"A God of War?"

Bai Yuan's gaze shifted slightly.

In the entire Sword Domain, there is only one person who dares to call himself the "God of War," and that is the founder of the Martial Arts Arena, Wu Zhanren.

Wu Zhanren's gaze remained firmly fixed on Bai Yuan, clearly waiting for his response.

Bai Yuan chuckled softly and slowly said, "Why don't you try it yourself to see just how strong I am?"

"good!"

Wu Zhanren agreed without hesitation.

Although he was unsure just how powerful Baiyuan's soul attack was, he was confident in his strong will and had special means to resist it, so he wasn't too afraid.

The conversation between the two spread, and the onlookers all looked on in disbelief.

"Yuan actually challenged the God of War? Is he tired of living?"

"Does he really think that defeating Bitol will allow him to contend with first-rate fighters?"

"Good, let's curb his arrogance and prevent him from becoming too haughty!"

On the arena, Wu Zhanren swung his sword, unleashing a terrifying burst of power.

His power surge was a staggering 51 times greater than that of ordinary universe-level powerhouses, and his swordsmanship was exquisite.

With these two factors combined, it's no wonder he's widely recognized as the second strongest in the first level of the Sword Domain.

Baiyuan remained unmoved, directly swinging his sword to meet the attack, clashing violently with Wu Zhanren's giant blade.

As the blades clashed, a tremendous force surged forth, but Bai Yuan's body trembled slightly, dissolving the incoming force layer by layer.

In a hard-fought battle, neither of them could gain the upper hand.

"Oh?" Wu Zhanren asked, somewhat surprised.

He clearly sensed that Baiyuan's power amplitude was at most forty-five times, but his swordsmanship was extremely strange, and he was able to completely neutralize the excess power.

"So you had such skills hidden away. I've never seen you use such strange swordsmanship before."

Wu Zhanren had been secretly observing Bai Yuan for some time and had already acknowledged his strength and swordsmanship.

But at this moment, it seems that the opponent had not used their full strength.

"Your swordsmanship is also quite excellent," Baiyuan replied.

Wu Zhanren is hailed as the number one swordsman in the Sword Domain, and his level of skill has long surpassed that of many cosmic-level swordsmen.

"Not at all, compared to you, I'm still a step behind." Wu Zhanren shook his head slightly.

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

Everyone almost thought they had misheard.

Wu Zhanren's swordsmanship is unparalleled; this is a universally acknowledged fact, even the strongest Yan Xingzhu has personally admitted it.

And now, he actually said in public that his swordsmanship was inferior to others, which sounds like there was quite a gap!

Ding ding ding ding...

The two sides instantly engaged in a fierce battle.

The essence of Wu Zhanren's swordsmanship lies in the word "fierce".

His blade may not be the fastest, and his moves may not be the most cunning, but with each sweeping strike, the momentum of a landslide and a tsunami is so great that it seems capable of crushing all obstacles in his path into dust.

Where the blade flashed, the wind from its blade pressed down, causing the arena floor to tremble slightly.

Overwhelm the opponent with sheer force and overcome their skill with sheer power, forcing them to confront this relentless and ferocious offensive head-on.

However, Bai Yuan remained calm in the face of such a ferocious and terrifying attack.

His long sword moved with the momentum, completely neutralizing the overwhelming force of the blade.

What's even more intriguing is that beneath his seemingly defensive blade strikes, a dense and resilient blade aura is slowly spreading out.

"That's the same trick again!"

Wu Zhanren's expression hardened, and a strong sense of alarm rose in his heart.

He had seen Baiyuan use this move against Bitor before, and he knew that if Bitor's blade energy were allowed to solidify into a domain, he would be in grave danger.

Wu Zhanren's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he held nothing back. His aura exploded, and all his strength was poured into his next strike.

"The wind of the blade cuts through the sea!"

The shout was like thunder, and before the blade even fell, a terrifying pressure that could cleave the sky and sea rose into the air.

The energy around the arena seemed to be instantly drained, turning into a tangible pressure that crushed down from above, as if the entire sky were collapsing, directly crushing and tearing Baiyuan apart!

"The first move of the Yuanji Sword Technique: Breaking Waves."

Baiyuan has made his move.

It was still a hazy, gray blade of light, which seemed quite ordinary at first glance, but the expressions of everyone in the arena suddenly became solemn.

Especially Bitol, who had recently experienced firsthand the terrifying power of that strike.

What appears to be ordinary and unremarkable is actually fraught with hidden danger, as silent as a tide, yet erupting in an instant.

boom!!!

The blade flashed, and Baiyuan staggered back several steps before regaining his footing.

Meanwhile, Wu Zhanren retreated dozens of steps before barely managing to stop his retreat.

With a single blow, the difference in skill was clear.

"What a magnificent Yuanji Sword Technique! I concede defeat, completely convinced!"

Wu Zhanren showed no signs of dejection; instead, his eyes gleamed with excitement.

In this battle, neither side used any domains; they fought entirely based on their swordsmanship and combat skills.

"You flatter me," Baiyuan said.

The term "Yuanji" refers to the origin of all things in the universe and the ultimate state of all things in the world.

"You flatter me," Baiyuan said.

The term "Yuanji" refers to the origin of all things in the universe and the ultimate state of all things in the world.

Baiyuan possesses ambitions far exceeding those of ordinary people; he is not content with merely fusing the two fundamental elements of metal and water.

Of course, one must walk the path step by step, and break through the barriers of one's realm one by one.

At his current level, he is still a long way from the true "Primordial Extreme" realm.

"Let's fight again! This time, I'm going to give it my all!"

Wu Zhanren's expression hardened, and he spoke solemnly.

He did not use his domain power in the battle just now.

His Golden Domain has reached the peak of the fifth level.

Looking across the entire first level of the Sword Domain, only Lord Yan Xing can surpass him in terms of domain mastery.

Upon hearing this, Baiyuan had no intention of hiding it any longer. His Golden Domain suddenly unfolded, revealing its sixfold power.

"Six...six-fold domain!" Wu Zhanren's pupils constricted.

Not only him, but the other spectators were also shocked, their faces showing expressions of horror.

All eyes were fixed on the figure in the arena.

Shock, fear, hesitation... a range of emotions spread silently through the crowd.

In the first level of this sword domain, the power of the domain is the absolute benchmark for measuring top combat strength.

Among the seven currently recognized top-tier combatants, only Yan Xingzhu has pushed his own domain to the sixth level.

That almost overwhelming domain power is precisely the reason why he firmly holds the position of "strongest" and why everyone has to submit to him.

At this moment, this long-stable situation seems to have been disrupted by a new figure.

Surprisingly, after his initial shock, Wu Zhanren's face lit up with intense elation.

No one could understand the long-suppressed bitterness in his heart.

In the entire first level of the Sword Domain, there are only six powerful individuals qualified to fight him with all their might.

Apart from the Flame Star Lord, the other five usually lived deep in their own lairs, and he had no chance to confront them.

Unlike the Flame Star Lord, he wasn't so domineering that he could force his way into someone else's territory and then leave unscathed.

But at that moment, Baiyuan appeared.

Not only is he incredibly strong, but he also possesses the same mastery of the Metal Domain and is equally skilled in swordsmanship.

This is practically the perfect opponent tailor-made for him!
