Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

After King Guyu finished speaking, he was surprised to see that Baiyuan's expression was calm and his eyes were not rippled at all.

"Aren't you even a little tempted? To put it bluntly, the kind of training the Qianwu Kingdom's royal family can provide you is worth less than one ten-thousandth of what the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire can offer."

"Moreover, in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, the ruler is an eternal and unique being. You don't need to worry about factional changes or broken promises; you only need to focus on cultivation."

"As for the throne of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, it will change hands after a certain period of time. Even if he makes you a promise now, everything may turn into nothing when the new emperor ascends the throne."

King Guyu talked on and on, explaining the pros and cons in detail. Baiyuan listened, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

Having finally gotten his chance, he quickly seized the opportunity and sincerely expressed his thoughts:

"Thank you for your kind invitation, senior. If I am ultimately unable to join Virtual Universe Company, I will certainly accept your invitation."

Upon hearing this, King Guyu's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"Okay, I'll wait for your message."

King Guyu was, after all, a worldly and powerful figure who knew that whether or not one had crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws made a world of difference for a genius.

The reason Baiyuan was able to contend with the Demon Tiger was not only due to the fusion of his domains, but more importantly, his exquisite combat skills!

In terms of raw strength alone, Baiyuan's level is roughly equivalent to the fifth or sixth place in each world region.

However, his technique of deflecting force was so superb that even when facing opponents who were clearly stronger than him, he could hold out for a long time without showing any signs of defeat.

If it were a genius ranked fifth or sixth in another world region, they would probably have been swiftly killed by the Demon Tiger.

The most important thing is Baiyuan's age; he's only in his thirties this year!

King Guyu was genuinely surprised when he heard the news.

He was in his thirties, less than a fraction of the age of the other contestants.

With such strength at such a young age, it's not impossible for him to win first place in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom's Genius Battle if given a few hundred more years to cultivate diligently.

After seeing Queen Guyu off, Baiyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to a behemoth like the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, his current strength is far too weak, and his background with the Blade Clan is almost negligible.

Suddenly, Baiyuan remembered something and turned to ask Daofenghou beside him:

"Ancestor, if I fail to break into the top 1,000 of the universe's genius battle, it seems I'll have to join the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, right?"

To repay its debts, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom maintained extremely strict control over geniuses, leaving virtually no opportunity for other forces to exploit.

Even immortal gods shouldn't try to steal people from the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

Blademaster nodded slightly and replied:

"That's true. In fact, given King Guyu's strength and status, he wouldn't need to be so polite even to me, let alone to a junior like you. The fact that he extended such a friendly invitation shows that he has an extremely good temper. If it were any other immortal powerhouse, he would probably have left a message and left."

Immortal beings are often eccentric.

Or rather, their perspective is on a completely different level from that of ordinary people.

For immortal-level powerhouses, as long as they do not perish due to external forces, they are practically immortal, and the concept of their lifespan running out simply does not exist.

This is why every immortal is an old monster who has lived for countless epochs and witnessed the rise and fall of countless so-called geniuses.

Even geniuses of Demon Tiger's caliber could hardly move them.

Those with temperaments like King Guyu are actually a minority among the immortal beings.

Five days later, all one thousand group battles in the arena have come to an end.

Ninety thousand people were eliminated, and Yunhai was naturally one of them. His strength was only at the bottom among those who advanced.

In the end, only 10,000 participants remained, vying for the final 900 spots.

These spots, offered by professional novel websites, provide the most comfortable reading experience and represent opportunities to step onto a higher stage.

The winner will represent the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and compete against top geniuses from other universe kingdoms.

After the group battle ended, the 10,000 participants who advanced were given a day to rest.

On that very day, the organizer, "Virtual Universe Company," announced the detailed rules for the subsequent arena battles to each participant.

The ring battle process is very simple, adopting a one-on-one elimination system, with the winner advancing and the loser falling into the "loser group".

After four rounds of competition, 625 winners will directly secure most of the 900 available spots.

The remaining 275 spots will be decided by the 9,375 members of the defeated group through a long and brutal series of battles.

The rules of the cycle battle are extremely strict.

Each person must fight one of the remaining 9,374 defeated opponents.

One point is awarded for each win, and zero points are awarded for each loss or a draw.

The remaining spots will be allocated based on the final ranking of points.

Just like Luo Feng back then, although he was defeated by Rong Jun in the final battle and fell into the loser group, he still won a spot in the end thanks to his outstanding performance in the revolving battle.

"As expected, my fourth opponent is a powerful being who has mastered the fundamental laws."

Baiyuan glanced at the match list and was not surprised.

Virtual Universe Company's arrangement was clearly intended to test these geniuses in advance.

Moreover, the defeated have the opportunity to participate in the Cycle Battle. There are fewer than fifty Law Powerhouses who can enter the Cycle Battle, while there are as many as 275 spots for the defeated group.

Even if they lose the fourth battle, these law-based powerhouses can still win a spot through the cycle of battles.

It's likely that he performed well in the ring battle, which is why he was assigned such an opponent.

As for the first three battles, the opponent in the first battle was only at the eighth level of the Domain, and the latter two were only at the ninth level of the Domain.

If these people hadn't deliberately concealed their strength, they would have been no match for him.

The final battle took place as scheduled the following morning.

In the first battle, Baiyuan's opponent had a solemn expression.

Despite knowing the vast difference in strength, he still gritted his teeth and attacked.

Baiyuan didn't even use his Water Domain; he calmly neutralized all the attacks with just his swordsmanship and Metal Domain.

After ten rounds, the opponent was knocked out of the arena by a condensed blade of energy, losing cleanly and decisively.

The same was true for the second and third battles.

The opponents, whether eager to fight or cautious, were never able to force Baiyuan to reveal his true strength.

The eyes of the spectators on and off the stage gradually focused on the young man named Baiyuan, who had won too easily.

In particular, his opponent in the third battle was the seventh-ranked expert in this world region, whose staff technique was vast and powerful.

In the chaotic battles of the arena, he overpowered many geniuses to advance.

Everyone thought that he could at least have a big fight with Baiyuan and find out some of his strength.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

The moment the battle began, Baiyuan slashed horizontally with his battle blade, while the Juehe Sword flew up above his head, transforming into a sword shadow that seemed both real and illusory, sealing off all escape routes.

The opponent seemed to be facing two formidable enemies with vastly different styles, yet working together perfectly. His attack was immediately cut off by the blade, and his retreat was blocked by the sword.

Within moments, he was completely suppressed and could only defend with all his might.

"How can his fighting skills be so terrifying! He doesn't give us a single chance to catch our breath!"

His rhythm had been completely disrupted, and his stick fighting skills were becoming increasingly chaotic.

If things continue like this, failure is only a matter of time.

The two sides exchanged blows for over a thousand rounds, but the actual time spent was only a few minutes.

A prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat. Baiyuan seized upon a fleeting opening in his opponent's defense, his blade flashing like lightning, breaking through the opponent's defense and ending this one-sided duel.
