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

Chapter 231 Trial Ends

Nine Swords Venerable easily recalled some past events.

"That brat, Sword King, took my game and sent it to his hometown to do a favor, and then it was spread around so easily."

It's quite remarkable that Bai Yang obtained it by chance and was able to cultivate it to this level.

The difference in the alien monsters within the Trial Tower is not yet obvious.

Nine Swords Venerable directly pulled up the video of Bai Yang during the internal competition of the Qianwu Universe.

In battles between people, the subtle variations in swordsmanship can be more fully displayed.

Compared to the current videos, Nine Swords Master can better see Bai Yang's progress and his talent in swordsmanship.

"That's interesting. Bolan's swordsmanship is not as good as his."

This swordsmanship of Rong Jun is also quite good.

"The Qianwu Universe Kingdom did very well this time."

The Nine Swords Venerable was very satisfied; this year's batch of geniuses might be the best in a long time.

According to the rules, they were all his subordinates.

He captured the two live feeds of Bai Yang and Bo Lan and began to view them simultaneously.

What the Nine Swords Venerable didn't know was that his addition of Bai Yangjin to the [Scientific Directory of Human Races] would soon become known to others.

Virtual universe, Hongmeng dimension.

In the secret room on the top floor of [Yu Bao Tang], the largest and most profitable shop in the entire Hongmeng.

Standing there was a towering figure, as imposing as a mountain, with a long dragon tail and eyes that seemed to contain the entire universe.

He simply stood there, and his invisible, domineering aura caused the virtual space to tremble and distort.

Lord of Dragons!

The human race is one of the pillars of the universe!

He might be the richest Seven Star Palace Master in the entire Hong Alliance!

"A mecha brat whose lifespan is less than an epoch?"

"Yes, Master! As instructed, you must be informed of this young scientific genius who could potentially impact the entire race."

An elderly man stood before him with almost pious devotion, his eyes filled with worship.

"Where did you find this person?"

"The Battle of Cosmic Geniuses! The battle of geniuses for this era is currently underway, and he is currently ranked second in the universe."

"Oh? That's interesting."

If he enhances his strength through this method, then his level of mechanical intelligence is indeed quite high.

Where did you discover his potential for influence within his community?

"This Baiyang owns his own company, and they distribute a medicine that can achieve the effect of seven-thousandths of the Fruit of Life."

Based on our investigation, there's a high probability that he developed this himself.

"Interesting, I'll remember that name. Well done."

The Lord of Dragons waved for the old man to leave; to him, neither the battle of geniuses nor the fruit of life were trivial matters.

Over the long years, he didn't care about the so-called geniuses.

The Cosmic Genius Battle is something that often goes unnoticed for thousands of sessions.

He pays more attention to those who take the technological route and can help improve the entire human race.

Although Bai Yang has potential, he must choose between strength and technological capability.

After he memorized the name, he might not hear it again for hundreds of epochs.

-

Bai Yang wiped the sweat from his face and sat down in the desert to quietly recover from his injuries.

This is already the fourth floor of the sixth tower.

He has just eliminated 999 strange cosmic creatures called "Flying Hou".

The fewer enemies there are in this trial tower, the stronger the opponent becomes.

These nearly a thousand "flying beasts" are far more difficult to kill than tens of thousands of blood-haired mammoths and nine-headed pythons.

Even he had to hit several times before he could completely eliminate an opponent.

In such battles, injuries are bound to increase.

His progress in those 40 days was remarkable.

They made the most of the 10 days allotted to each floor.

"At this rate of increase, the next level will be my final destination."

Having already conquered five towers, Bai Yang had a clear understanding of how formidable the enemies here were.

"Is the gap between us and Berlan really that big? I'm so unwilling to accept it!"

What he didn't know was that Berlan had actually died on the first floor of the seventh tower at this time.

He displayed thousands of spatial illusions, which truly shocked everyone.

Now, only he and Luo Feng remain in the entire trial space, still persevering.

The Qianwu Universe Kingdom has begun a celebration that has lasted for more than ten days, and everyone is proud of this achievement.

In the central square, the vast majority of people are now looking at him.

That's because Bolan himself, carrying a blood-stained sword and dressed in flowing white robes, was also in this group.

"His swordsmanship has become stronger again, and he has created more illusions."

Bolan thought to himself.

Although he didn't think Bai Yang could reach his level, he was the only person here worthy of his attention.

Bai Yang got up and walked towards the fifth floor.

This is a large mechanical testing base, with the ground entirely paved with alloy.

One hundred humanoid mechanical puppets, each eight meters tall and entirely silver, stood on the alloy floor of the experimental base.

Yes, only 100.

But it is several times more difficult than 1000 "flying lions"!

These 100 tall mechanical puppets discovered Bai Yang.

Direct energy was activated, and his eyes emitted red light, instantly locking onto him!

The mechanical puppets instantly transformed into lightning as they ran, some even flying directly into the air as they ran, all rushing towards him!

This speed is already on par with his!

Even more outrageous, they were actually firing invisible railguns from the launchers on their arms as they ran!

The ranged attacks fired by these mechanical puppets, though far from reaching the speed of light, were still quite powerful.

However, it was much faster than Bai Yang and the puppet itself.

Bai Yang's more than 250 speed illusions were instantly destroyed!

Locked in by that strange red light, he was completely unable to conceal his presence.

"It's like it's completely restraining me! If I were in real life, I'd have a star guardian."

"I'll capture you all in a matter of minutes and then tear you all apart!"

Bai Yang gritted his teeth in anger.

The opponent has superior speed and light attacks, making them the most troublesome enemy!

With his superb reflexes and senses, he forcefully evaded the puppets' attacks.

After struggling for more than 40 minutes, he finally found an opportunity and destroyed the mechanical cores of two-thirds of the puppets.

But in the end, they were overwhelmed and killed by the remaining mechanical creatures.

With a whoosh.

The space before Bai Yang shifted, and he appeared in the central square, where many geniuses from various universes and human races looked over.

He also spotted Berlan instantly.

This guy had a "keep away" attitude; he was the only one standing there, and the surrounding square was mostly empty.

When Bolan saw him come out, he walked straight up to him and said, "Let me see your swordsmanship in this decisive battle."

Without waiting for Bai Yang's reply, he turned and left.

This guy is just too arrogant!

"Don't cry if you lose."

Bai Yang glanced at the time; it was February 1, 2071, on Earth.

Because Luo Feng is stalling for time, the ranking battle won't be until September, so he still has a chance!
