All Heavens: Originating from Swallowing the Stars

This is a colossal river rushing through outer space, surging from the unknowable darkness and flowing towards the infinite distance. It is vast and boundless, and its width alone exceeds the diameter of many stars.

Such a spectacular river could not possibly be a naturally formed landscape in the primordial universe, but rather a plane in the virtual universe specifically created for the Giant Axe Arena.

The River of Competition.

Upon closer inspection, one can see majestic islands floating on this seemingly endless river, each with a giant 3D projection above it, broadcasting intense and brutal battles in real time.

That was a battle of the strong specially set up by the Martial Arts Arena, led by the Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena, and held in the real universe. The participants in each battle were all true strongmen, fighting to the death. The battle would only end when one side was completely killed.

A life-or-death battle with the giant axe!

In this universe where everyone worships individual power, in the 1008 universe kingdoms of human territory, anyone with a bit of status and strength attaches great importance to the life-or-death battles in the Giant Axe Arena, and also admires those strong individuals who rise from the life-or-death battles in the arena!

Just like today, on Island 00001 of the River of Competition, hundreds of millions of spectators from all over the universe have gathered. They are densely packed in the huge stands, watching the projection in the sky with great anticipation.

As a virtual plane specifically created for the Giant Axe Arena, each island of the River of Arena has over 500 million spectator seats to accommodate audiences from Universe 1008.

At this moment, all the seats on Island 00001 are full.

Without a doubt, this upcoming life-or-death battle with the giant axe will be a heavyweight affair.

Deep within the island, behind the densely packed audience seats, in a serene and elegant private room reserved exclusively for fourth-star users of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, two imposing men stood facing each other. The handsome, aloof young man respectfully addressed the older man:

"My lord, I never expected that this life-or-death battle with the giant axe would even alarm you!"

These two powerful individuals both possessed the power to control the rules of the world, and each had an obscure and difficult-to-understand law rune between their brows. These runes proved that they were both realm lords, and powerful realm lords with extremely strong strength who were recognized by the fundamental laws of the universe.

Below the level of Immortal, a Realm Lord of this level is a being capable of stirring up storms in any star field within the human territory!

"Of course we should be alerted, Tianchen. This is a life-or-death battle at the level of a Realm Lord. Both of the participants are Realm Lords who have won more than 950 life-or-death battles. Such a battle is of great reference value even to me."

The realm lord, who appeared to be an old man, smiled. Between his brows was a mark radiating the power of the laws of light and darkness. The resonating power within the mark made his figure ethereal, and his entire being resonated with the laws of light around him, making him mysterious and powerful.

His name is Luo. In the Black Dragon Mountain Empire under the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, this name is as resounding as a god, and all who hear it will show a look of reverence.

The reason is simple: Luo, the Lord of Time, is judged by the five top powers of the human race to be a true powerhouse with the combat strength of an immortal military lord at the level of a realm lord!

"You're right, both realm lords participating in this life-or-death battle are stronger than me!"

The Realm Lord beside Luo was named Jiang Tianchen. He was a Realm Lord recognized by the Law of Lightning. As a prominent figure in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire's Realm Lord circle, whose combat power was enough to rank among the top ten, this Realm Lord was known for his coldness and arrogance. He was an existence that was unattainable among billions of humans.

But at this moment, Jiang Tianchen's face showed no arrogance whatsoever; his handsome, almost bewitching face was filled with emotion.

After all, those who have the courage to participate in the life-or-death battle of the Realm Lords and achieve a 950 victory are undoubtedly the best among the Realm Lords, with astonishing insights into the laws and combat experience.

"Moreover, in this life-or-death battle, one of the participants has already achieved 999 victories. If he wins, he will become a rare World Lord-level Giant Axe Warrior!"

Luo sat in the private room, gesturing for Tianchen to sit next to him, while summoning the intelligent computer assistant to access the information of the two participants in this battle for survival between world lords.

In this life-or-death battle, both realm lords are male; one is a mentalist and the other a martial artist.

With that thought in mind, Luo opened the information of the mental master controller among them.

"Golden Realm Lord" Xiu Qiqi Feishan, male, seventh-tier Realm Lord, member of the Supreme Hall of the Ape-Man Clan, from the Kahuns branch of the Ape-Man Clan, a master of mental manipulation, acknowledged by the fundamental law of gold, and possesses profound understanding of the law of space.

As the computer assistant announced in a clear voice, a grotesque ape-man youth, nearly three meters tall and covered in thick golden hair, appeared. This ape-man had a golden law mark between his eyebrows, and his aura was like a giant sword drawn from its sheath. Even as a phantom, he was awe-inspiring.

In the projection, the ape-man has his arms crossed in front of his chest, and a thick, golden staff stands in mid-air beside him, giving him a fierce and invincible aura.

As experienced realm masters with extensive knowledge, Luo and Jiang Tianchen both recognized the origin of that weapon. It was the Ninefold Hun Tian Yan, one of the nine divine weapons in the circle of spiritual mind masters, also known as the Yan Divine Weapon.

"The ape-man Xiuqiqi comes from the highest hall of the cosmic ape-man race. He is currently training himself. In past battles, he has at most unleashed the power of the 8th level of the Divine Weapon, the Golden Sword that cuts through the void. His strength is immeasurable."

"Currently, he has achieved 988 victories in the battles for survival against world masters."

Jiang Tianchen and his military lord watched the incredibly sharp ape-man youth projected on the screen together, feeling a slight sense of powerlessness. Although he was known as a top-tier realm lord in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, he was far inferior to that Golden Derivation Realm Lord.

"Yes, with his abilities, as long as he doesn't become overly greedy, achieving immortality won't be difficult."

As soon as Luo gave his brief assessment, the intelligent optical computer assistant beside him reacted immediately, retrieving the projection and information of the other contestant.

"Li Tuo, the 'Lord of the Heavenly Abyss,' is a male, a first-tier Lord of the Heavenly Abyss, a free-roaming adventurer from the Liulan Empire, a mid-level civilization under the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. He is a martial artist, acknowledges the fundamental laws of water, and has a profound understanding of the fundamental nature of space."

The intelligent optical brain assistant announced that the 3D projection showed a young man wearing light armor with dark blue scales. He was over 1.8 meters tall, with a slender figure, a resolute and calm face, and a mark between his eyebrows that indicated the recognition of the water's source law. His whole person was like a dark and deep abyss in the deep sea, unfathomable.

In his hand was a wide, jet-black halberd, forged from an unknown special bone and metal. The blade was shimmering with water and spatial ripples, the power of the primordial laws that the weapon itself inspired.

A sixth-tier Force weapon, also known as an immortal-level Force weapon, the Whale King Halberd!

"Tian Yuan Li Tuo is a world lord-level powerhouse who has risen to fame in the Qianwu Universe in recent decades. Although he is only a world lord at the first level, he is believed to have combat power far exceeding that of a peak world lord. He is skilled in various weapons such as halberds, spears, fists, and claws, and possesses immortal primal force weapons. His combat power is also exceptionally strong."

Jiang Tianchen shared the information he knew with Luo. As a fellow martial artist, he looked at the man holding a halberd in the picture and felt a strange sense of unease, as if he were about to be swallowed by the abyss.

"Currently, the Heavenly Abyss Realm Lord has achieved 999 victories in the Giant Axe Life-or-Death Battle. If he wins this time, he will be a Realm Lord-level Giant Axe Warrior, a rarity even within the universe."

"Lord Xiuqi and Lord Lituo will meet in the Magnetic Storm Secret Realm of the Four-Star Universe to decide their fate!" Finally, Jiang Tianchen brought up Xiuqi and Lituo's information again, placed them side by side, and said in a deep voice.

"If he succeeds, he will be the first World Lord-level warrior to receive such an honor," Luo added slowly, gazing at the unfathomable youth in the image. "This is terrifying!"
