Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 165 The Fate of the Earth Quartet (Bonus Chapter on August 9th)

July 17, 2066, Earth time, marks the start of the Qianwu Universe National Arena Battle.

Meanwhile, Yang Wu was still traveling in the dark universe aboard a spaceship.

Previously, the preliminary eliminations were conducted in a hundred different world zones, making it impossible to broadcast them.

Therefore, the citizens of countless star regions in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom could only travel by spaceship to slowly search for the geniuses of their respective star regions in various world zones, and some of them did not even find them by the end of the competition.

The upcoming arena battles are open to spectators, which has led to a frenzy of ticket sales, with tickets being extremely difficult to obtain.

The arena battles are divided into 1,000 groups, with 200 groups participating each day, and the event will conclude within five days.

Luo Feng and his two companions all passed the preliminary rounds, but none of them won first place, so they naturally had to participate in the arena battle.

Hong was assigned to group 161 on the first day, while Luo Feng and Lei Shen were assigned to group 382 on the second day, and were very lucky to be assigned to the same group.

Perhaps it's fate. With Thor's current strength at the sixth level of the Domain, it would be difficult for him to pass the 10 out of 100 arena battle. But now that he and Luo Feng are grouped together, their chances of passing have increased considerably.

If he can successfully pass this arena battle, even if he loses the next four battles, he can probably grow stronger in the cycle of battles and eventually break into the top 1,000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

……

In the virtual universe, within a specially created dimensional space, a vast and boundless river flows continuously. Scattered throughout this river that runs through the entire dimensional space are numerous islands, each with its own arena.

Island No. 10389.

Inside the arena, the stands were packed with people, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The atmosphere in the entire arena was incredibly enthusiastic, with all the spectators eagerly anticipating the upcoming group battle.

Yang Wu was also in the audience, watching the upcoming melee that Hong was going to participate in. His younger brother, Yang Fan, was with him. As for Yang Wu's parents and sister, they were not interested in any of this.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

A sweet and clear voice rang out, instantly reaching the ears of nearly a billion spectators in the entire arena.

A stunningly beautiful brown-haired girl appeared in the center of the arena. Above her was a huge, identical phantom. The brown-haired girl was giving commentary on the upcoming match.

"Next up is the 161st group of arena battles. Let me introduce the 100 genius masters in this 161st group."

"The first one is Rong Jun, from the Golden Sword Empire. He was previously ranked second in the 88th World Region."

With Yang Wu and Rong Jun's hundreds of millions of points, even if they were killed, they would still rank second in the world.

As the brown-haired girl introduced herself, a huge screen appeared next to her, displaying images of the contestants and some basic information.

"Rong Jun!"

"Rong Jun!"

A thunderous cheer immediately erupted throughout the arena, with a group of people in one area cheering and shouting Rong Jun's name.

"Second place..."

"The third one..."

The brown-haired girl introduced each of the soon-to-be contestants. Each time she called out a name, a burst of cheers erupted from one of the audience seats.

"Sixty-seventh, Hong, from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. He was previously ranked 673rd in the 72nd World District."

"Boom!"

Yang Wu felt as if the surroundings had exploded, with everyone cheering for Hong's name.

"flood!"

"flood!"

"flood!"

However, Yang Wu frowned amidst the cheers.

Rong Jun has always had a habit of hunting down experts in the 88th World Zone. If Hong performs well, he might be targeted by Rong Jun.

With his eighth-level Hong Realm cultivation and impressive combat skills, he should have had an easy time winning a group battle in the arena.

But if Rong Jun sets his sights on him, he will be in danger.

As the countdown began, a thunderous roar echoed through the arena, and one hundred geniuses at the Eternal Star level appeared in the arena.

……

Inside the fighting arena.

Hong held a silver spear, his gaze extremely cautious, constantly recalling the information of everyone in the arena.

"Among these hundred people, the strongest is Rong Jun, and there are two other people who are also very powerful. We must avoid their sharp edge."

"As soon as the battle starts, I'll immediately engage in melee combat with the others to save my life for now, and then give it my all one last time!"

"Battle begins!" As the deep and majestic voice rang out, the battle space in the arena began to shrink, and the hundred geniuses in the arena began their battle.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

A violent current of air spread out, and everyone began to fight desperately.

"Take this!" Rong Jun, with his messy hair, laughed loudly and rushed out more than a hundred meters barefoot in one step. He slashed at a controller with a sharp blade. The controller did not react at all and hurriedly used his psychic weapon to block.

"Clang!"

Rong Jun's strike was so powerful it could split mountains and cleave peaks; it was unstoppable!

The telekinetic weapon was immediately cleaved away, and then the controller was split in two from head to toe!

"Haha..." Rong Jun laughed heartily, not even flinching when surrounded by people.

With a single strike, a contestant died.

"Impressive!" Yang Wu exclaimed in amazement as he watched Rong Jun's attack. "His swordsmanship has improved even further. He truly deserves to be called a fighting genius!"

Although Rong Jun did not take out the Earth-Splitting Blade, Yang Wu could already see the shadow of that terrifying strike in his swordsmanship.

Yang Wu asked himself, given the same understanding of the laws, it would be very difficult, practically impossible, for him to reach the same level.

"Those geniuses who ultimately achieve great things are never simple!"

Yang Wu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that his talent was far inferior to Rong Jun's.

Fortunately, he has a simulator, and he is constantly working hard!

……

In the arena, the number of participants dwindled, while Hong continued to attack others.

A long spear danced continuously, like a giant snake, incredibly eerie.

Hong's unusual behavior quickly attracted the attention of another expert.

She was an extremely fierce female warrior with formidable strength, who had even crossed the threshold of the Water Origin Law.

However, Hong's strength was also quite remarkable. Although he was only at the eighth level of the Domain Realm, his strength was already comparable to some geniuses at the ninth level of the Domain Realm. He managed to withstand the opponent's attacks for a short period of time.

The elimination rounds ended when the 90th contestant was killed, and Hong successfully advanced!

"flood!"

"flood!"

The audience in the Black Dragon Mountain star region surrounding Yang Wu cheered even more after seeing Hong Jinji, their faces filled with immense excitement.

Even Yang Fan was extremely excited, shouting wildly.

……

In addition to those who come to watch the game in person, there are many more people in the universe who are watching the game through live broadcasts.

In the virtual universe, on a floating island above Black Dragon Mountain Island, there is a vast but extremely simple manor.

In the reception room.

Two figures were sitting quietly. One of them was Jiang Tianchen, a peak Realm Lord expert whom Yang Wu had met once outside the Canglan Star Realm Main World.

"Is this little fellow in black from our Black Dragon Mountain Empire?" another elder asked softly.

"Yes, my lord, this man's name is 'Hong,' and he is from our empire!" Jiang Tianchen replied respectfully.

After Tianchen finished speaking, the old man's identity became obvious.

Luo, one of the three military leaders of the Three Axe Mountain organization, is known as the "Lord of Time".

"Hong?" The old man smiled slightly. "This person's mastery of the light domain has reached an extremely profound level. His combat strength is already comparable to that of an ordinary ninth-level domain genius. That little girl has already crossed the threshold of the Water Law, yet she couldn't defeat him in such a short time! It seems he has a chance to cross the threshold of the Law in a short period of time!"

Jiang Tianchen was secretly alarmed.

The military commander, Luo, rarely speaks so much, but this time he is surprisingly interested in Hong.

This is none other than Luo, who is known as the "Lord of Time"!

If Tianchen's strength is considered top-tier among Realm Lords within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, then Luo's strength is top-tier even among the millions of Realm Lords in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Many immortals even consider him their equal, because his understanding of the laws of time surpasses that of most immortals.

Of course, time is both a blessing and a curse. If he hadn't been distracted by comprehending the "fundamental law of time," Luo would probably be an immortal being by now!

Unfortunately, fate is cruel, and the 'Lord of Time' is now facing the end of his lifespan!

Before his lifespan came to an end, he seemed to want to find a successor.

……

The next day arrived quickly, the day Luo Feng and Thor participated in the arena battle.

Although Thor had repeatedly told Luo Feng not to help before the match started, how could Luo Feng not secretly lend a hand when the match actually began?

Therefore, Thor ultimately passed the arena battle without any major incidents, and has essentially qualified to join the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

As for the Qianwu Secret Realm, that depends on Thor's own abilities.

Seeing that Luo Feng and the other two had all passed the arena battle, Yang Wu was completely relieved and stopped paying attention to the subsequent arena battles.

In any case, once they enter the top 10,000, regardless of whether they win or lose in the arena battles, with their strength, they can easily break into the top 1000 through the cycle battles.

Thank you to reader Juli for the 100-point reward.
