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

Chapter 226 Lagging Progress

Bai Yang charged straight to the seventh floor of the first tower, facing the Zerg mother hive directly.

For any genius who has made it this far, the first two towers were simply a freebie.

Especially the first one, the enemy's strength was at most barely enough to deal with a normal ninth-level star.

The enemy in the second tower was also just a relatively powerful ninth-tier constant star.

However, the Zerg hive is a special unit.

As soon as Bai Yang entered the seventh level, he found himself in a vast desert.

In the very center of the desert, on a green field, stands a giant sphere, about sixty meters in diameter.

The sphere had some bumps and depressions, and naturally emitted some poisonous gas, and even flowed with some venom.

This thing is almost exactly the same as the one in Shennongjia on Earth, except that it is different in size.

Bai Yang did not immediately attack, but waited for the Queen Mother to make the first move to see her strength.

Soon, one by one, triangular-headed Zerglings covered in a little slime and blue carapace emerged.

They have two antennae, large compound eyes, a lean and muscular body, and two hind limbs supporting their bodies.

It also has four forelimbs, which resemble battle swords, and two translucent wings on its back.

50 blue mantises!

This is one of the most common cannon fodder types among the combat-type Zerg.

With a light tap of his foot, Bai Yang arrived directly next to the mother nest.

Before these blue mantises could even bare their fangs and begin their attack, he swiftly severed their heads with the force of a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves.

These cannon fodder, with their ordinary level 9 strength, were like motionless statues in front of Bai Yang.

The surface tissues of the mother nest, which had been trembling slightly, paused eerily for a moment.

Then suddenly a whooshing sound came out, and in two consecutive rounds, about 100 more Zerg surged out.

As soon as one of the blue mantises appeared, Bai Yang killed it.

No matter how many surged out at once, he instantly killed them all, as easily as playing a game of whack-a-mole.

Soon, the mother nest was no longer able to do anything.

"Out of stock? That's it?"

Bai Yang grew impatient and slashed directly at the mother nest's main body with his sword, also cutting through its incredibly sturdy outer layer.

A 'Queen', about six meters tall, with a fair and translucent complexion as if cast from crystal, flew out of the nest.

She had beautiful, transparent butterfly wings, and her face was shrouded in a faint mist, giving her an extraordinary allure.

A series of strange and beautiful musical sounds rang out and entered people's ears.

laugh!

A sharp psychic force pierced directly into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Bai Yang sensed it expressionlessly for a moment, then swung his sword down, cleaving the beautiful creature into two even pieces.

"I feel nothing at all. The ninth level of the Spiritual Embryo is completely unaffected by stimulation. I'm afraid it would take at least the Queen Mother of the third tower to have any effect."

Bai Yang wasted no more time and quickly cleared the second trial tower at a rate of almost one floor per minute.

They only lingered briefly on the seventh floor, but unfortunately, the Queen Mother there posed no threat whatsoever.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the third trial tower.

From this point onward, the strength of these enemies increased dramatically, reaching the level of cosmic-level beings.

Most people were blocked on this tower, and the number of those eliminated began to increase rapidly.

Brush brush!

The figures of losers kept appearing, and there were already hundreds of thousands of eliminated geniuses in the central square.

The seventh floor of the third tower became the tomb of more than 60% of geniuses!

When Bai Yang arrived, he found that not much had changed; it was just one wave of Zerg.

The number of heads has increased from 50 to 500, and their strength has also increased.

"Vertical and Horizontal!"

After Bai Yang's figure swayed, more than a dozen speed phantoms appeared instantly!

Each one of them was so lifelike that it instantly disrupted the senses of these green mantises!

With the limited intelligence of the low-level insectoids, they were completely unable to distinguish between the real and the illusory bodies.

The vast majority of their attacks missed.

The true White Sun Sword light pulsed forth, and no Zergling could withstand more than three moves from it.

He stood on the air, utilizing the characteristics of "aerial flight".

Despite being a martial artist, his aerial maneuvers, such as turning and dashing, were faster and more agile than most mentalists riding flying weapons.

In just seven or eight minutes, he had cleared out all the Zerg cannon fodder again.

The Queen Mother, who had been forcibly dragged out, struggled fiercely.

Her pair of pitiful, azure eyes were filled with a pleading expression.

Bai Yang directly took another hit from her sneak attack using psychic energy.

"This time it's having some effect. So, the fourth level will definitely give me a sense of crisis."

Then, without hesitation, Duan Mingfeng stabbed her between the eyebrows.

The ultimate battle of geniuses from the 1008 Universe Nation is not broadcast publicly; only a ranking is displayed.

In the central square.

The 1008 immortals sat together, watching the floating screens around them, laughing and talking to each other.

"There are quite a few geniuses who hide their strength during the selection process within the universe kingdom."

"surprise."

The giant in the scale armor robe named "Thirteen" also looked at the leaderboard on the screen, which listed the rankings of the geniuses from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

"Rong Jun ranked 16th, not bad."

"Bai Yang ranked 3274? It turns out that his victory over Rong Jun back then was just a fluke."

His progress over these four and a half years has been far too slow!

"As for Luo Feng! He's utterly unambitious! Humph!"

As one of the eighteen divine generals of the Qianwu Kingdom, he had seen far too many geniuses.

I thought the Qianwu Universe Kingdom would achieve a breakthrough this time, but I didn't expect that only Rong Jun could be relied on.

The other two are just pretty faces, utterly useless.

Luo Feng stalled for time in his own trial space, taking ten days per level.

After Bai Yang entered the seventh floor of the fourth tower, he chose to wait for ten days.

Even after eliminating 90% of the geniuses, there are still over 100,000 geniuses left out of the million.

His deliberate lingering made his ranking look extremely bad instantly.

Compared to Rong Jun's near-top-ten ranking, it's a world of difference.

The Zerg Queen on the fourth level is already able to breed 800 Mantises every 20 minutes.

Their strength has gradually moved beyond the level of those who had just entered the universe.

After waiting for three waves, Bai Yang faced the 2400 Zerg head-on, and the pressure immediately increased sharply.

"That's it!"

That's exactly the feeling he wanted!

Under an overwhelming, almost ubiquitous siege.

The second level of Duan Mingfeng's [Vertical and Horizontal] realm level increased dramatically in an instant!

Every moment, thousands of attacks were launched at him simultaneously.

If Bai Yang fails to conceal his true form properly, or if his movement speed is even slightly delayed, he will die.

The number of speed illusions he released was also constantly increasing.

A seven-colored placenta in my brain is constantly stimulated by this life-or-death pressure.

The frequency of breathing and peristalsis suddenly increased!

The cultivation of the "Spiritual Embryo" will gradually and imperceptibly increase.

As Bai Yang annihilated the third wave of the Zerg for the seventh time, his mental power suddenly surged!

He grabbed his mother's beautiful head and forcibly pulled her towards him, forcing her to attack him.

Sure enough, everything is fine!
