Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

This isn't a no-go, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "Swallowing the Stars: Starting with an Enlightenment System":

"His sword-swinging speed isn't as fast as mine, but his swordsmanship..."

Wu Li's heart sank.

Each time the twin blades collided with that battle blade, an extremely strange force would intrude.

It wasn't a brutal attack, but rather like an undercurrent in the water, supple and cunning, easily deflecting his fully charged sword and causing his subsequent attacks to repeatedly miss their mark.

He felt as if he were fighting against a bottomless whirlpool, his strength constantly being deflected and diverted.

Whoosh!

Just as Wu Li's offensive faltered and his rhythm became slightly disrupted, the thunder cone that had been deflected found an opening again, trailing a piercing shriek, and shot towards Bai Yuan's back at an incredible angle!

With a flick of his wrist, Baiyuan deftly swung the blade, following the momentum of the collision, unleashing a sudden burst of power that sent Wu Li and the blade flying backward half a step.

At the same time, without even looking, he swung his sword out with a backhand, the blade striking the least stressed side of the Thunder Cone with perfect precision.

"clang!"

With an exceptionally clear and resonant sound, the lightning-fast thunder cone was effortlessly cleaved away by this single strike.

The entire process was lightning fast. From knocking back Wu Li to knocking away the Thunder Cone, Bai Yuan's movements were so fluid that it seemed he had practiced it a thousand times.

He did not pursue, but simply waited quietly for the opponent's next attack.

Wu Li's expression turned solemn: "Your swordsmanship is both offensive and defensive; it seems I'll have to go all out as well."

Before he finished speaking, he flashed and nine illusory bodies rushed towards Baiyuan.

Baiyuan smiled upon seeing this, but said nothing.

Swish!

The moment the nine illusory figures approached, Bai Yuan suddenly unleashed a fierce sword aura, echoing his domain and instantly merging into an even more powerful domain!

The moment the illusory body stepped into it, it vanished completely.

"Such a powerful domain! It's in no way inferior to the invisible 'Deep Sea Realm'!"

Wu Li was terrified.

In terms of the exquisite nature of the secret techniques, the invisible "Deep Sea Realm" has brought the laws of water and the power of the domain to their fullest potential.

In this respect, even Baiyuan is ashamed of himself.

But Baiyuan has a deeper understanding of the origin of the laws. Moreover, he has integrated the two attributes into one and combined them with the sword aura. The domain power he has formed is already enough to rival the intangible.

Moreover, Baiyuan's sword aura can continue to rise, far from reaching its peak.

"I lost."

Wu Li gave a wry smile and readily admitted defeat.

His prized illusion technique was only used twice in this battle of geniuses, and he failed to actually unleash it either time.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to his confidence.

"I admit it," Baiyuan said calmly.

He was not surprised by the result.

From the moment he fought Wu Li and Wu Xing, he knew that these two were no match for him.

After Wu Li left, dozens of other powerful individuals launched challenges in succession.

Bai Yuan accepted all comers and defeated them one by one.

These people have all comprehended a trace of the fundamental laws, but their strength is still somewhat inferior to Wu Li's, let alone compared to him.

Thus, the title of the strongest being in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom's Hengxing Star Realm fell to Baiyuan.

Of course, he didn't care about such empty fame at all.

At this moment, he is still trying to improve his skills.

"At the moment, it's difficult to make significant breakthroughs in swordsmanship and combat skills. It seems I can only devote myself to comprehending the domain and its laws."

Before he could finalize his cultivation plan, two figures had already arrived in front of him.

"There are still three years until the end of the Reincarnation War. If you want to make a major breakthrough, you'd better be mentally prepared," said the King of Yabo.

Blademaster chuckled lightly: "To put it simply, we will be subjecting you to three years of nightmare-level training. Before that, let me ask you, how is your cultivation of the 'Star Fiend' that I've been teaching you?"

"I have completely mastered the Star Fiend," Baiyuan replied truthfully.

Blademaster's expression froze, and he spoke in disbelief:

"What did you say? You've completely mastered it?"

No wonder he was so surprised; this move was a unique skill he created after breaking through to immortality.

Although he hadn't studied the art of illusionary martial arts too much, this move was not something an ordinary realm lord could master.

He had thought that it would be a pleasant surprise if Baiyuan could cultivate to a minor level, but he never expected that he would completely master it.

"Show me what you've got," said Blade Marquis.

He knew Baiyuan wouldn't lie, but he still wanted to see for himself.

Baiyuan nodded, but did not draw his sword.

He raised his right hand, his five fingers together, using his palm as a knife, his movements slow and even casual.

But just as he pressed down with his palm, the world suddenly fell silent.

In an instant, a deep, dark crack appeared silently in his palm like a ghost, and spread outwards at an astonishing speed!

This crack did not originate from the gleam and sharpness of any sword or blade, but rather from a naked and undisguised aura of evil.

It was like an evil aura overflowing from the depths of hell, carrying endless killing intent and the threat of death.

This feeling transcends the realm of ordinary fear; it is a tremor originating from the depths of one's heart.

It felt like an invisible hand was tightly gripping my throat, making it hard to breathe.

It was as if endless evil spirits were whispering in one's ear, constantly tempting people to give up resistance and let their consciousness sink into it.

"What a realistic illusion! Even a World Lord would fall for it if caught off guard."

The king of Yabo was secretly alarmed.

In truth, this attack contained nothing but malevolent energy; everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.

Of course, Baiyuan's illusion was not enough to make the two immortals fall into depravity; they entered the illusion voluntarily.

Daofeng Hou remained silent, his gaze slightly narrowed.

He stared at Baiyuan's hand chop for a long time before finally letting out a soft breath:

"You call this 'mastery'? When I created this move, I didn't even need to use it to this extent."

Clearly, in the realm of illusion, Baiyuan is far superior to Daofenghou; the two are not even in the same league.

But this only aroused the curiosity of the Blade Lord.

"Could you be a genius of illusion magic, one in a million epochs?"

After much thought, he could only come up with this one possibility.

There have been such geniuses in the past. Their level of fundamental laws and domains was relatively ordinary, but they managed to break into the top ten of the universe's top genius battle with their amazing illusion techniques.

"Perhaps," Baiyuan replied casually.

A genius of illusion?

Of course not, he's just at a high level of self-cultivation.

Although he had traveled to this place, the knowledge and experience left by the ancients that he had learned before remained etched in his mind.

The fact that my mental cultivation has reached this level is due in part to the Life and Death Map I obtained from Lord Yan Xing, and in part to the valuable lessons passed down from the ancients.

Furthermore, as a member of the Blade Clan, he had already forged the heart of a strongman.

"Hehe, it seems we all underestimated you," King Yabo laughed. "With this one move, you're guaranteed a place among the top one thousand in this genius battle!"

Even a realm lord would be affected by this illusion. No matter how resilient the participating geniuses are, there are probably very few who can truly ignore this move.

Moreover, Baiyuan himself was already quite strong.

In this way, there is even less to worry about.
