Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 191 Mingyu's Shock

Virtual universe, the killing field of Black Dragon Mountain Island.

Here, Mingyu belongs to the privileged upper echelons.

After Bai Yang logged on, he was immediately pulled into a separate space.

He looked around; the entire environment was the cosmos, but beneath his feet was a massive arena.

Mingyu, dressed in a blue battle robe, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him gently.

Bai Yang stepped forward and greeted him, saying, "Lord Mingyu."

Mingyu nodded and smiled, "Let's not waste any more words."

Bai Yang, what is your current cultivation level in reality?

You must have spent some of that money on improving your strength, right?

In the virtual universe, everyone has the body of a novice warrior.

Mingyu couldn't discern his actual cultivation level either.

Bai Yang replied, "I just broke through to the third level of the Hengxing realm."

"Very good, you've definitely improved." Mingyu wasn't surprised. "What about your domain level?"

"Now it's the fourth level."

"Genius! I've really rarely seen someone whose domain level is higher than their cultivation level when they're at the Hengxing level!"

Your talent for understanding the laws is truly terrifying.

"Back in the Realm Within a Realm, life-or-death battles were indeed very helpful in improving one's strength," Bai Yang explained.

Recalling the devastating casualties of that great battle, Mingyu felt that this was nothing to be as lucky as it seemed.

"Alright, let's fight once now. Use all your strength!"

We're in the same physical condition, so you need to give it your all so I can better guide you.

Bai Yang agreed, and the two of them stepped back, stopping about a hundred meters apart.

A countdown timer suddenly appeared above the arena, indicating when the battle would begin.

When the timer expired, the two of them vanished from their spot in an instant.

For them, a mere hundred meters is as if it doesn't exist at all!

Bai Yang still used the standard longsword, while Ming Yu used a curved scimitar.

The weapons of both sides clashed rapidly, like a sudden downpour!

Ping pong!

The sounds of countless weapons clashing were incessant.

A white wall of light quickly rose between the two of them!

This was an unusual phenomenon caused by the extremely fast speed at which the two weapons clashed, forcibly compressing the sword and blade light generated within such a small space.

Mingyu was secretly surprised, as he had thought Bai Yang was too young.

He doesn't even have a fraction of my lifespan, so his combat experience must be far inferior.

He started by using some of the most popular sword techniques in the universe to counter his moves, trying to point out the flaws in his swordsmanship and give him direct guidance.

This method, compared to requiring the other party to comprehend the laws, yields the most immediate improvement in strength.

Little did anyone know that although Bai Yang seemed to be seriously wielding his sword, his swordsmanship was flawless!

He changed his sword techniques several times, and his skill level kept improving, but he still couldn't defeat his opponent.

Clearly, they had the capacity but didn't go all out.

Instead of being angry, Mingyu was pleased and shouted, "Watch out!"

Bai Yang immediately sensed that the opponent's swordsmanship had greatly improved, as if what had just happened was a test.

The opponent's swordsmanship level suddenly improved from ordinary to just under the level of a "Giant Axe Warrior".

Mingyu is not an AI, he is a real person!

Various tricks and traps are constantly emerging, far more agile and intelligent than AI.

At this point, he could no longer perfectly set up his sword light defensive circle between the two of them.

Mingyu's sword light could break through the light barrier between the two from time to time.

If Bai Yang hadn't moved, all his vital points would have been struck long ago.

Inspired by this, he truly unleashed the full power of his swordsmanship.

Each sword strike subtly corresponds to a move from the first move of the "Celestial Star Sword" called "Flying Star from Beyond the Heavens".

The sword light was incredibly swift and agile!

What a fast sword!

Mingyu was instantly at a disadvantage!

"Alright! Now I'm going to use my understanding of the laws!"

Bai Yang immediately focused his attention, and saw that the curved blade in Ming Yu's hand suddenly emitted a green light.

The moment his longsword touched his scimitar, Bai Yang felt a tremendous force surge through him, and the longsword in his hand almost slipped out of his grasp!

The opponent's force was clearly a single burst of energy, but for some reason it was extremely long, as if several Mingyu were attacking him one after another with their swords!

"The Law of Wood! The Profound Meaning of [Continuity]!" Bai Yang exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh? You knew that?" Mingyu was a little surprised.

Bai Yang sensed that although there was only one person on the other side, there were actually several people exerting their strength together!

They just focused their efforts on one direction!

He could withstand a single blade strike from Ming Yu, but the second and third blade strikes that followed would break through his defenses!

Suddenly, a halo of light appeared on the longsword in Bai Yang's hand!

After the sword and blade clashed again, Ming Yu did not continue his attack, but instead took several steps back.

He stared in astonishment at the curved knife in his hand, the blade of which had been pierced by Bai Yang's sword, leaving a 1-centimeter-long crack!

"The Laws of Light! The Mystery of Interference!"

Mingyu is simply unbelievable!

"You were able to destroy my weapon like this with one sword strike, so most people wouldn't be able to withstand your second strike!"

Have you grasped the fundamental laws governing light?

Bai Yang nodded slightly and said, "I've barely reached that level; I've only recently gained some insight into it."

"Let me see!" Mingyu said immediately.

The aura of the longsword in Bai Yang's hand suddenly surged, instantly reaching a length of one hundred meters!

Then he swung his sword downwards and slammed it hard into the ground of the arena.

Instantly, a strange, piercing metallic scraping sound reached their ears.

All that could be heard was an indescribable sadness.

On the pristine white surface of the arena, a clearly visible black crack was left in an area that should have been indestructible.

Mingyu was speechless!

As the owner of the space, he was very clear about the conditions under which he set up the environment.

The surface of this arena is C3 hardness!

That is, the peak of the early stage of the cosmic level!

Bai Yang, relying on a standard longsword, actually increased his attack power to this extent because he comprehended the fundamental laws of the universe!

Mingyu suddenly realized that the person in front of him was a true genius of the human race!

The real treasure he encountered in the realm within a realm was actually him!

He was truly glad he made that decision back then, and that he had repaid Bai Yang and the others well. He had really made a profit!

His voice trembled slightly as he asked, "Can you tell me how you came to this understanding?"

It's okay if you can't explain it clearly; I know that sometimes insights into principles simply cannot be put into words.

Bai Yang didn't speak. Suddenly, his whole body began to glow, and he floated up on his own.

Endless platinum flames radiated from his body!

It instantly illuminated the entire dark universe around it.

Suddenly, he transformed into a being of light, no longer a human being of flesh and blood.

Mingyu watched all of this in shock; the intelligent computer on his body had already given him the answer.

[Light Body] Talent!

Legend has it that the Law of Light is one of the most powerful talents!

"Stay here and wait for me, don't log off!"

Mingyu suddenly left his own space!

"Lord Tianchen! I have urgent business to discuss with Lord Luo!"

"For what reason?"

"one person!"
