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

Chapter 214 Preliminary Selection Begins

Earth time, March 9, 2066.

The official website of Virtual Universe Company has officially published information about the Cosmic Genius Battle.

The four Earthlings signed up immediately and then buried themselves in rigorous training.

We finally met up after receiving a confirmation email on April 16th, the registration deadline.

In the virtual universe, inside the manor in Jiuxing Bay, Heilongshan Island.

"This is terrifying! In the Qianwu Universe Kingdom alone, more than 8225 billion people have registered, which is 1100 billion more than the previous session!"

Breaking into the top 1,000 is much harder than getting one in a hundred million.

There are also more than 1000 space nations in the human race.

No wonder it's so difficult to break into the top 1,000 in the entire universe!

Thor looked at the email description and couldn't help but say something.

"The selection process within the Qianwu Universe is divided into 'preliminary elimination' and 'final battle'."

After just the preliminary selection, only 100,100 people will be eliminated in the end.

It would probably take several years to finish the entire universe's battle of geniuses, right?

No wonder it only happens once every five thousand years.

Hong analyzed the email after reading it.

"Everyone uses a level 9 body of the Eternal Star? That's quite fair," Luo Feng said.

"A strong actual cultivation level is actually quite advantageous."

"At least I'm quite familiar with that level of power," Bai Yang said.

"Third brother, how are you doing now? What level are you at?" Thor asked curiously.

"I am currently at the 9th level of the Eternal Star Realm, and the eighth level of my Domain Realm."

"I'm only at the seventh level of the Constant Star Realm, and the fifth level of the Domain Realm! The gap is really huge!"

"I'm only at the seventh level of the Domain right now," Hong chuckled.

Bai Yang smiled and said, "Fourth brother has already comprehended the fundamental law of metal, and your domain levels have all reached the required standard."

Perhaps I can break through after just one battle. What does it matter if my cultivation is a little slower?

In these massive group battles, the real problem at the beginning is luck.

We are going to fight in 100 separate worlds, each with 82 billion people.

If you spawn at a bad point and get surrounded, you might just be wiped out.

"In the remaining month, we should think of ways to increase our concealment methods."

Luo Feng naturally didn't need to worry, and Hong, being skilled in the laws of light, was also fine.

Thor's moves are too eye-catching. Although they are stronger than before, if he is unlucky, he might be eliminated even faster.

Everyone nodded in agreement, because they didn't want to be eliminated due to bad luck.

They all plan to use the remaining month to make some preparations in this regard.

May 16th was the day for the preliminary selection of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom.

All the participants entered a dedicated waiting area for the competition early on, where they began to be grouped into 100 worlds.

Then Hong was in District 72, Thor District 88, Luo Feng District 1, while Bai Yang was randomly assigned to District 31.

"Attention everyone, this preliminary elimination round will be divided into one hundred 'world zones'. We will be teleported to our assigned 'world zone' shortly."

Please check your equipment as soon as possible. Once the pre-selection begins, you will no longer be able to request weapons.

A clear voice echoed across the entire continent.

Bai Yang was fully armed this time, wearing a light gray Tier 2 Force battle suit, with a black alloy battle helmet and boots on top, and a spatial ring on his hand.

Duan Mingfeng was stored there, along with some food.

When the competition officially started, he felt a blur before his eyes, and three seconds later he was standing in an ordinary living room.

This is a fairly ordinary high-rise apartment, with a bedroom, bathroom, and other similar facilities next to it.

"About 8000 times the Earth's gravity."

He roughly estimated that he needed to familiarize himself with the environment as soon as possible.

Bai Yang looked down at the screen on his wrist, which automatically received various messages from the organizers.

Participant: Bai Yang (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Points: 0

Ranking: None

World Sector: 31

Time: The preliminary elimination rounds will last for 30 days, and the winners will be determined based on the final points rankings.

Scoring rules: Killing a player earns one point, and you also gain half of the opponent's points! Death results in the loss of half the points.

Note: The 31st World Zone is a continent simulated based on the appearance of the "Qimi Planet" of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in reality.

There are a total of 235 metal cities on the entire continent, with a land area of ​​more than 12 million square kilometers.

Please note: The hardness of many items, including houses and floors, in Sector 31 is C1!

C1 hardness!

That means it's impossible for most people to wreak havoc in the city; many who aren't strong enough won't even be able to hurt anything.

"That's very convenient. Whoever can make the biggest commotion is the real expert."

The more skilled fighters gather in a place to battle, the more obvious the signs become.

Bai Yang walked onto the balcony and found himself on a building nearly 100 meters high.

Looking around, it was a city with a very distinct mechanical style, with towering metal buildings everywhere.

There is almost no greenery; it resembles some kind of industrial city.

He had just memorized the general surroundings when he heard a noise in the distance.

Rumble~

It sounded like a huge building was collapsing.

"So fast? A contestant with cosmic-level attack power has already made a move?"

Bai Yang was secretly surprised that someone could be so impatient.

Subconsciously, I rushed towards that location.

At this very moment, countless others have made the same choice as him.

They all thought they should go over first and observe the enemy situation before making any decisions.

Bai Yang was like an arrow released from a bow, able to advance a great distance with each step.

It was incredibly fast, yet it made no sound.

At the same time, the light around him was almost distorted. At such high speed, only a blurry figure could be seen, but his exact location could not be detected.

Those with weaker abilities wouldn't even notice him, while those with stronger abilities would know he was not to be trifled with and wouldn't dare to go looking for trouble.

In this city, there are at least 20 to 30 million participants, and at this moment, at least 30 to 40,000 people are heading towards the location where the high-rise building collapsed.

Although Baiyang was far away, he was among the first to arrive.

He climbed up a relatively tall building nearby and looked down at the battlefield below.

At this moment, thousands of people were already engaged in a chaotic battle on the ground.

The powerful individual with cosmic-level attack capabilities was nowhere to be found.

"This format is perfect for late-game dominance; these guys are really unlucky."

It turns out that there is a fairly large regional square between these buildings.

It's possible that several people were teleported here at the same time, and they had no choice but to fight when they met on a narrow path.

Not only is there no one here who has comprehended the fundamental laws, but even those with domains are few and far between, and at a low level.

Against enemies of this caliber, as long as you're not targeted by tens of thousands of enemies, you'll be fine no matter what.

With that expert absent, Bai Yang had little interest in the chaotic battle below, so he chose to leave.

He planned to find a new place with a better view, and along the way, he would kill any lone enemies he encountered.

Before him, no one could withstand a single sword strike.

86 points instantly earned!
