Swallowing the Stars: The Birth of a Cosmic God King

The hall of the decisive battle space was bustling with noise.

Geniuses from various races gathered in twos and threes to discuss the recent changes in the rankings.

"Have you heard? Two new ten-star players emerged a few days ago!"

"Who? Which faction?"

"One is the 'Scale Armor' of the Black Demon Clan, a ninth-level planetary-level being with a mutated bloodline and the innate secret technique 'Ten Thousand Scale Armor,' which grants invincible defense."

It's said that the Swift Leader of Virtual Universe Company personally signed the contract, granting him Level 2 Elite status!

"Level 2 Elite? That's like rising to the top in one step."

"The other one is the human 'Sword One,' a first-level star in the constellation realm, a sword genius who created his own sword technique called 'One Sword.' He was noticed by the Giant Axe Arena and is also a second-level elite."

"Tsk tsk, what's going on lately? A veritable explosion of geniuses!"

"That's right. I heard that the number of geniuses in this batch of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom is more than the total number of geniuses in the past hundred years. The big shots at the top are saying that this is the 'Golden Generation'."

"The golden generation...does that mean we ordinary geniuses won't even get a taste of the good stuff?"

"Just accept your fate. If you and I can only manage to reach the third level of elite potential, we're already considered to be shining stars in the race. Do you really think elite status is as easy as cabbage?"

Yan Ning stood on the periphery of the crowd, listening quietly.

The term "golden generation" struck a chord with him.

An explosion of talent means fiercer competition, but it also means more opportunities!

The big players are aggressively recruiting; as long as you can achieve good results, the chances of being signed are much higher than usual.

"Good time."

Yan Ning thought to himself.

He then looked at the star contestants who were being hotly discussed on the screen.

It mainly refers to the top nine-star players who are expected to reach the third-level elite or even the second-level elite.

This makes it more relevant to your reference.

[Planetary Level 9 - Luo Qing (Human)]

[Winning streak: 987 games]

Rating: Nine stars.

Features: A psychic who wields 128 blades and has a fierce fighting style.

A virtual universe company observer commented: "Potentially a level two elite; if the field breaks through, they could potentially reach level one."

......

[Planetary Level 9 - Iron Bones (Rock Clan)]

[Winning streak: 803 games]

Rating: Nine stars.

Characteristics: Defensive martial artist, with physical strength approaching that of a third-tier star level.

The Giant Axe Arena observer commented: "Steady and reliable, guaranteed at least a Level 3 Elite."

......

[Planetary Level 9 - Shadow Assassin (Shadow Clan)]

[Winning streak: 826 games]

Rating: Nine stars.

Characteristics: Assassin type, extremely fast, specializes in killing with a single blow.

The observer from the Qianwu Dojo commented: "His explosive power is amazing, but he is weak in prolonged battles. He is a candidate for a level three elite."

......

Looking at these names and achievements, Yan Ning felt a surge of excitement.

Each of these geniuses would be an overwhelming force among the powerful figures of the Azure Empire and even the Black Tank Empire.

But in front of him?

Why does it all feel so lacking?

"You'll know once you try it."

......

Yan Ning walked toward the duel registration area.

Name: Yan Ning

[Realm: Planetary Level 9]

Current rating: 3 stars

The registrar glanced at him and announced his initial rating without expression.

三星。

Based on his ninth-class human bloodline, age, cultivation level, and status as a spiritual master, the virtual universe gave him this initial rating, which was neither high nor low.

"If it weren't for your young age and the fact that you're a mentalist, you'd have to start from one star and slowly climb up the ranks."

The registrar added, "Winning streaks are somewhat relevant to the rating, but not very much. To get promoted, you need to beat higher-rated opponents."

Yan Ning nodded.

Samsung it is.

It's more interesting to work your way up from the bottom.

"Start matching!"

......

The first match.

Opponent: Planetary-level Rank 9, 4-star rating, Martial Artist

Yan Ning stood on the dueling platform, looking at the burly alien race member opposite him, whose body was covered in scales.

The other person glanced at him, a hint of disdain on their lips: "Three stars? Ninth-class human? This kind of trash dares to come to the decisive battle space?"

"What makes you think you deserve a three-star rating?!"

The other party seemed somewhat dissatisfied, feeling that they had been severely underestimated, and was taking this opportunity to vent their anger!

The Scaled Winged Clan member flickered, its scales flying backward, and shot fiercely towards Yan Ning.

Extremely fast!

Yan Ning ignored the other party.

The moment the countdown ended, he moved.

There was no blade being drawn, and no curved blade disc was used.

They even deliberately suppressed the pure physical talent of the Yan God Clan.

It's just one step.

He covered dozens of meters in one step, and his right fist slammed out from his waist, hitting his opponent squarely in the chest.

boom!

A loud explosion was heard.

Scales shattered, blood and flesh flowed freely!

The burly body of the scaled alien was sent flying backward, crashing into the edge of the dueling platform and dissipating into specks of light.

[Winner: Yan Ning]

Time taken: one second

The system notification sound echoed in the lobby.

But no one noticed that battles that ended in a second were all too common here.

Is being a genius for a second?

Then what does my five seconds count for?

......

The second match.

[Opponent: Planetary-level Rank 9, 5-star rating, Mentalist]

The enemy controlled 80 blades, which surged forth in a massive, overwhelming attack.

Yan Ning didn't even stop walking.

To be on the safe side, we will activate the second configuration of the arc-shaped cutter head.

The curved blade disc flew out.

196 blades transformed into a silver stream of blades, directly crushing through.

Eighty blades were knocked away and shredded, but the momentum of the blade flow did not diminish, engulfing the opponent.

[Winner: Yan Ning]

Time taken: 3 seconds

......

The third match.

Opponent: Planetary Level 9

[Six-star rating, Martial Artist]

The opponent wielded a battle blade, exuding a fierce aura. He immediately unleashed his full power, employing a Star-level secret technique. The blade gleamed, radiating a chilling killing intent!

Yan Ning dodged the blade's edge, reached out with his right hand, grabbed the other's wrist, and twisted it.

The sound of bone cracking was crisp and clear.

The sword slipped from his hand.

The left fist slammed into the opponent's abdomen, still killing him instantly!

[Winner: Yan Ning]

Time taken: 5 seconds

The fourth, fifth, sixth...

Yan Ning seemed to be on fast forward, playing one match after another and winning one match after another.

No one could force him to make a second move.

No one can make him back down.

Samsung, four stars, five stars...

Even six-star and seven-star experts are no different in front of Yan Ning; it's just a matter of time.

Match 10: The opponent was a four-star peak rating and lasted for eight seconds.

Match 20: Opponent was rated five stars, lasted six seconds.

Match 50: Opponent was rated six stars, lasted four seconds.

Match 100: The opponent was a peak seven-star rating, suspected to be a genius seed from a small faction, and lasted for three seconds.

Yan Ning's winning streak was jumping like crazy.

50 consecutive wins.

100 consecutive wins.

150 consecutive wins.

200 consecutive wins.

......

Finally, someone in the hall noticed that name.

"Hey, look at Yan Ning! He started with a three-star rating and now he's on a 217-game winning streak!"

"Azure? What kind of force is that? I've never heard of it. Could it be another reclusive world-lord power that cultivated it?"

"At the very least, he should be an Immortal Military Lord, right?"

"If he had a 217-game winning streak, how long did it last?"

"It's been less than two hours since I registered."

"Two hours? 217 matches in two hours? That's an average of one minute per match?"

"No, look at the battle logs. Most of the battles ended within ten seconds. It's highly likely that he... killed them instantly."

"Instant kill? Instantly killed 217 opponents? Goed from three stars to seven stars?"

"It's not just an instant kill of 217, it's an instant kill of all opponents! Excluding waiting time, regardless of the opponent's star rating, it's a one-hit kill!"

The crowd began to stir.

More and more attention is being focused on that ever-increasing winning streak.

250 consecutive wins.

280 consecutive wins.

300 consecutive wins.

320 consecutive wins.
