Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 238 Title-Sealing Mission

Most people who undertake account banning tasks do so with the intention of getting their accounts banned.

But Hunzhen is different. If you have to say, he doesn't need to complete the title-granting mission to have a chance to obtain a title.

There are two paths to obtaining a title of Jin: one is through title-granting quests.

The other one, however, has two major conditions.

First, to become a true god, one must follow the path of divine power and reach a life gene level of 90,000 times. Once this is achieved, one must first be examined and verified by the four generals.

Second, the basic layout of the Rhinoceros King's Formation consists of 10081 positions. If you can solve all 10081 positions in one go, you will meet the requirement.

These two conditions, which left Luo Feng dumbfounded and even insane, were actually not too difficult for Hunzhen.

The former has already mastered the laws of chaos. It will take at least hundreds of thousands of years, or at most tens of millions of years, to reach perfection before he succeeds.

Once he succeeds, his demonic body will break through, and he will naturally break through the bottleneck of 90,000 times the life gene.

The latter, Hunzhen, already knew that the final requirement of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Game was to create an independent and perfect cyclical universe from scratch.

Does this sound familiar?

This is precisely the "Universe Creation in a Single Thought" ability controlled by the Eternal God!

In other words, any eternal true god can solve the problem of the infinite.

The "no-game" state of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation is actually slightly easier to resolve than the real "one thought to create a universe." As long as one possesses the level of understanding of laws at the Eternal True God level, even if one is only a Void True God, one can still resolve the situation.

This can be seen from the fourth bottleneck in the Rhinoceros King Bureau's assessment back then.

The limit for Immortality is two thousand rounds, for Venerable is four thousand rounds, and for Lord of Laws is six thousand rounds.

Because six thousand games is enough to pass the test regardless of level, theoretically there is no fourth bottleneck. However, if we continue to calculate according to this algorithm, the limit for a true god is eight thousand games.

Therefore, the limit of the Void True God corresponds to ten thousand rounds!

As for the final eighty-one rounds, including the one without a round, the requirement is naturally a comprehension of the laws at the level of an eternal true god!

The true understanding of the laws of Hunzhen reached the limit of the Void True God three million years after the fall of the Dream Demon Ancestor.

Although the bottleneck of the Eternal True God has blocked countless Void True Gods, for Hunzhen, it is only a matter of time.

Now, more than five million years have passed, and he has long since reached the point where he only needs one opportunity to break through to the level of an eternal true god.

Rather, it's...right today!

"Is it because I've already grasped those fragments of the rules in reality?"

Even in the simulation, countless feelings and endless insights welled up within me!

After all, those were fragments of the rules that the God-King constructed within his own inner universe.

There is more than enough opportunity to achieve a breakthrough in the Hunzhen realm.

Thus, on his first day in the realm of gods, Hunzhen broke through to become an eternal true god through simulation.

"So, we'll be able to meet these 'fellow townsmen' on the inland river of Jinzhi soon?"

"Luo Feng will be very surprised to see me, right?"

Entering Wuqi Tower is done in batches of ten people each. In what he had just simulated, Luo Feng happened to be in the same batch as him.

A smile appeared on Hunzhen's lips as he followed the Void God Guardian's footsteps, heading towards God King Valley.

Directly below Wuqi Tower, several soldiers were already waiting silently.

After receiving instructions from a mythical beast deity who was stationed in this place, Hunzhen strode towards the soldiers.

"The Tengshe Army? You're also from the Eastern Army?"

A soldier approached. He was a tall, thin soldier with a black beard. His armor was decorated with a strange beast pattern, and his helmet had a roaring beast head on it.

"The Juelong Army?"

Hunzhen smiled and said, "I am Hunzhen, a soldier of the Tengshe Army."

However, his smile was somewhat strange.

The tall, thin soldier reached out and pulled a soldier with a strange expression next to him, saying, "I think this guy is Xue Zhong from the Dragon Army! He's Yinhe from the Python River Army!"

As he spoke, Xu Zhong's eyebrows danced with excitement: "Now there are eight people, three of whom are from our Eastern Army! It seems that this time our Eastern Army has a huge advantage!"

"Speaking of which..."

Xu Zhong raised an eyebrow: "Why are you another unfamiliar face, just like Yinhe?"

Just then, Luo Feng casually slapped Xu Zhong's hand away and looked at Hunzhen with a strange expression.

The strange atmosphere made the soldiers look at each other in bewilderment, and even Xu Zhong had a question mark on his forehead. Could it be that these two know each other?

Hunzhen spoke first: "Junior nephew, why am I unhappy to see my uncle?"

Luo Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes: "When did you become my senior uncle?"

"I'm on friendly terms with your master, so isn't it only natural that I'm a generation above you?" Hunzhen responded confidently.

Luo Feng was speechless for a moment.

I wanted to say, "Why don't you mention that we're fellow disciples under another master?" But in this situation, Hunzhen had already established the persona of "being on friendly terms with his own master," so saying something like that would attract some attention.

It's better to be safe than sorry. If the natives of Jinzhi recognize us as people from another world, we'll be in trouble.

For the sake of the bigger picture, Luo Feng could only swallow his tears and accept the title of "junior disciple".

Watching the two exchange knowing glances, Xu Zhong felt a strange sense of desolation, as if he thought, "I shouldn't be here; I should be under the car."

Regardless of whether the relationship between the two is genuine or not, their familiarity with each other is obvious.

I wanted to leverage our shared Eastern Army background to build a relationship, but it seems like there's no room for me to get involved.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Hunzhen say to Luo Feng with a mischievous smile, "This Wuqi Tower title mission is extremely dangerous. Even you are not immune to the risk of death. What, do you need your powerful (and annoying) senior uncle to help you?"

"No need."

Luo Feng snorted coldly, turned his back and walked away.

Although he admitted that he was not as good as Hunzhen, this Wuqilou title mission was a rare and excellent opportunity to test the gap between himself and his opponent!

Luo Feng's eyes blazed with an unprecedented fighting spirit; he was unwilling to miss the opportunity.

"Rebellious phase? What a stubborn junior apprentice!"

Ignore Hunzhen's trash talk as well.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhong's eyes flashed, and his heart warmed up again.

Then, a few days passed in the blink of an eye, and a new batch of ten soldiers were assembled.

Guided by the guardian beast god, the group of ten entered Wuqi Tower.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ...

Ten figures appeared in a vast desert.

Suddenly, a dazzling beam of light, like lightning, descended from the sky above the distant desert world, twisting and extending downwards. In just a few seconds, the enormous cyan beam of light connected the desert with the endless sky.

On the surface of that cyan pillar of light, jet-black characters rapidly appeared, accompanied by intense killing intent that entered the eyes and hearts of Hunzhen and the others.

"This is the passage connecting the first and second floors of Wuqi Building."

"Those who enter the passage can proceed to the second floor of Wuqi Tower."

"A sergeant must be killed before we can enter the passage."

"If the other soldiers are not killed, they will never be able to leave... Those who have not entered the second level will be annihilated before the next batch of soldiers open the gate again."

Those who seek refuge in warship-type treasures to avoid battle will be considered defeated and annihilated!

In an instant, all ten Law Masters realized that if they did not execute the contents of the black text, they would be killed by the black text that contained killing intent!

boom!

In an instant, some of these soldiers acted decisively.

However, all three soldiers launched an attack on Luo Feng at the same time!

Even though Luo Feng himself was well aware of the reason why they chose him, it was simply because he had previously revealed that he was a new recruit, and was naturally regarded as an easy target to deal with.

"Are they taking me for a fool?"

Luo Feng's gaze turned sinister, and he suddenly unleashed a domain-type supreme treasure, blocking the three's combined attack.

"Um?"

Luo Feng frowned, looking at one of them with a flash of anger in his eyes: "Xu Zhong! We are both soldiers of the Eastern Army, and you've already attacked me on the first floor of Wuqi Tower?"

"You're a new recruit, who else would I kill if not you!" Xu Zhong coldly shouted, completely unlike his previous gentle and easy-going demeanor.

Luo Feng's eyes flashed with killing intent, and he immediately chose to chase after Xu Zhong.

On the other side, Hunzhen was also approached by two soldiers.

The latest novel is first published here!

They naturally hadn't missed the conversation between Hunzhen and Luofeng not long ago.

Judging from the situation, they realized that even though Hunzhen was also a new recruit, he was very likely no less capable than them, the veterans.

Moreover, unlike the other soldiers who were basically well-known, they knew nothing about Hunzhen.

Considering that there might be competing projects later, they immediately agreed to test Hunzhen's strength.

If it's too weak... then naturally the matter will be resolved directly.

Hunzhen watched the two who unleashed their mechanical treasures and charged towards him, and sighed softly, "Why bother?"

Those who dared to come and were able to apply for the title-granting mission were all top talents in special legions.

Even the weakest among them possessed a level six mastery of secret techniques, but most of them were aiming for a breakthrough through divine power, which is why they remained at the level of the Lord of Laws.

However, they were all extremely skilled killers who had fought their way through countless missions filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and thus all of them had exchanged for mechanical treasures at the True God level.

According to the original novel, Luo Feng encountered someone in Wuqi Tower who used a mechanical treasure to unleash the "tenth-order" combat power of the Cosmic Sea.

The two people in front of them were no less impressive, both reaching this level. They were the absolute elites of the special legion, geniuses with the combat power of a peak true god as masters of laws!

but……

However, he was only comparable to a peak True God with the body of a Lord of Laws, and he only reached this level by relying on mechanical treasures.

This might be a big problem for Hunzhen, who has just broken through to become the Lord of the Universe and entered the Ocean of the Universe for the first time.

But for Hunzhen now, it's not even a dish.

Two flashes of light, and one of them, with eyes wide open, died instantly, while the other, his face filled with terror, froze in mid-air, not daring to move an inch.

He knew perfectly well that it wasn't that he was stronger than the person who had died tragically; it was simply that the other party had deliberately spared him.

The soldiers, who were each choosing their opponents, all stopped moving, trembling with fear.

"This guy..."

"monster!"

These soldiers are all peerless powerhouses among the Lords of Law, each one capable of fighting one-on-one with a True God. How could they not see Hunzhen's strength?

Some people gritted their teeth and retreated in fear: "This guy's strength has probably reached the level of an invincible true god!"

Sensing the vast difference between them, who were on completely different levels, they all avoided Hunzhen as if he were a plague.

Luo Feng, who was being shaken off by Xu Zhong, was also stunned.

Unlike these soldiers, he immediately recognized that the weapon in Hunzhen's hand was the one he used when he was adventuring in the Universe Sea, and was definitely not some kind of mechanical treasure.

"To unleash combat power at the level of an invincible true god using only non-mechanical treasures?"

"Just how strong is this guy?"

Luo Feng couldn't help but sigh.

Hunzhen seemed to sense Luo Feng's gaze, raised an eyebrow, and grinned, "Good nephew, you haven't taken down your target after all this time. Do you need your uncle's help with this little thing?"

"unnecessary!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng's eyes widened, and he retorted arrogantly before quickly selecting another target.

Soon, the remaining soldiers also realized that Luo Feng was extraordinary. Compared to the original work, which showed a movement technique that was almost at the level of a Void True God, Luo Feng in this world was more inclined to be multifaceted and comprehensive.

Even though his movement technique hadn't reached that level after losing the Donghe inheritance, it was still far superior to others. Apart from that, his offensive and defensive abilities were on par with others.

In other words, aside from the mechanical treasures, most of these Law Masters only reached the sixth level in one or two aspects, while Luo Feng reached the seventh level or above in all aspects.

Before long, Luo Feng successfully defeated a True God of Beasts and followed Hunzhen into the second level...

Luo Feng nodded slightly when he saw Hunzhen, who had arrived at the second level earlier, and then greeted the other five soldiers who had arrived first.

I only found out then that this level also required waiting for ten people to be assessed at a time before the second level could proceed.

Before long, all ten people had gathered.

A majestic voice rang out.

"You will all be teleported to a small world and attacked. What you need to do is... survive all the attacks within that small world."

"You two groups of soldiers, the first group has rested for a long time and their divine bodies have recovered considerably. The second group of soldiers, quickly recover yourselves. You two groups of soldiers will be teleported one after the other!"

Luo Feng and the others then saw the cyan pillar of light descend, and the first group of five were each teleported to a scorching small world filled with lava.

Soon, a huge secret pattern appeared in that small world, and each of the five soldiers was attacked by a mysterious beam of light.

Each of those attacks reached the level of a true god, enough to make ordinary law masters fear and tremble, but the soldiers, including Luo Feng, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It looks much better than the first floor of Wuqi Tower. At least half of the people died on the first floor, but this second floor should be able to save quite a few."

Several sergeants had similar thoughts.

Just then...

The earth within each small world cracked open, and lava and eerie, dark red, scorching liquid gushed forth from the ground, rapidly forming a colossal lava giant in each of the small worlds!

The beam of light and the lava giant attacked simultaneously, their seamless coordination instantly putting immense pressure on the five soldiers.

These giants are not only incredibly powerful, but most importantly, they are practically connected to the small world by blood. No matter how many times they are damaged or injured, they can quickly recover to their original state, making them virtually immortal!

The onlookers, watching the soldiers being attacked by the combined beams of light and the giants, felt the same way, as if they themselves were in that small world, being scorched by its intense heat, and sweating profusely.

Luo Feng pondered silently: "Most importantly, the ancient runes and the crimson giant are only two dangers within this small world. Could there be even deeper dangers yet to be revealed?"

Luo Feng secretly glanced in Hunzhen's direction, but the other's expression remained as calm as ever.

Judging from the survival rate of account banning tasks, usually one out of ten participants survives.

Luo Feng knew that if only one of the ten people in his group could survive, it would undoubtedly be Hun Zhen.
