Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 240 The Shock of the Garrison Commanders of Wuqilou

The second floor of Wuqi Tower.

In the blink of an eye, the last five soldiers, including Hunzhen, were also teleported into the dark red small world.

In an instant, the mysterious patterns in the sky activated, unleashing countless beams of light.

Just as we saw from the outside world before, every attack reached the level of a true god.

However, compared to the attacks of a true god, these beams of light only reach this level of energy. Unlike a true god who uses various calculations and locks to make their attacks extremely difficult to dodge, they wander around aimlessly in a certain area like headless flies.

While they may appear to be at the level of true gods, a more powerful Law Lord could actually dodge using movement techniques and defend himself with weapons.

For Hunzhen, it is nothing at all.

He looked up at the secret pattern, letting the beams of light shoot towards him. He didn't draw his sword, nor did he appear tense as if facing a formidable enemy. He simply strolled around, and the beams of light attacks missed their mark.

Even... it cannot be allowed to stray too far from its initial landing point.

If someone were to observe Hunzhen's movements at this moment, they would find that, from beginning to end, Hunzhen was constantly moving and dodging within a three-meter radius centered on his initial landing point.

Rumble—!!!

After some time, the earth cracked open, and a dark red lava giant rose from the ground.

He let out a strange roar and charged towards Hunzhen.

His movements and fist techniques may seem chaotic at first glance, but in actual use they are perfectly in harmony with the universe. His movements are swift and agile, and his fist techniques are overwhelming.

This is an attack that undoubtedly reaches the level of a true god.

The omnipresent beam attacks, coupled with the undead lava giant whose strength has reached the level of a true god, create pressure that even ordinary true gods dare not say they can easily cope with.

But for Hunzhen, it was only enough to slightly lift his spirits.

He even observed the lava giant with ease, analyzing why it was still alive.

In just a short moment, his eyes lit up and he understood something.

"I see."

"This guy's essence is an evolution of the core of this small world. There are only two ways to truly kill him."

"One way is to directly shatter and annihilate the small world. Once the core of the world disappears, it naturally cannot exist."

Hunzhen shook his head: "However, this small world is, after all, the work of a God-King. Without the strength of an Eternal True God, it would be impossible to achieve this."

"The second method is simple: just sever the connection between this lava giant and the core of the world. Without its integrated nature, this thing is just an energy-infused rock lump, similar to those intelligent robots injected with electricity in my previous life, only with a slightly different appearance."

"It's not difficult to do this. In theory, any Law Master who enters here has the foundation to do it. What's required is the ability to see through the essence of the world. If we have to be specific, discovering and severing the connection between the world's core and the lava giant, and using the level of Law comprehension as a difficulty rating, is a difficult task at the Void True God level. No one here except me can do it."

For Hunzhen, who possesses an omniscient perspective, what difficulty is there in discerning the essence of the world? Isn't it as simple as eating and drinking?

The thought arose, and Hunzhen drew his sword and slashed.

The void trembled slightly, and it was unclear whether he had actually hit anything, but the lava giant's eyes dimmed instantly, and its massive body crumbled into dust.

Immediately following, five giant rock hands crawled out from the ground.

Hunzhen grinned: "These guys are just like that lava giant."

Hunzhen immediately took a step forward.

Within the small world, Hunzhen was like a cheater taking an open-book exam with the answers, easily solving the difficult problems without any pressure.

However, the commander who was observing and scrutinizing the situation inside Wuqi Tower from the silver palace next to it was dumbfounded.

"This, this..."

The leader of the black mist stared wide-eyed, even somewhat incoherently.

Inside the second floor of Wuqi Tower, Luo Feng's performance was equally astonishing. Normally, the Black Mist Commander would have started cursing at the four generals, causing such a talent to be left to wander.

However, when the sun is out, under the clear blue sky, the once-shining stars, no matter how brilliant, seem to disappear and go unnoticed.

The Black Mist Commander was immediately captivated by Hunzhen.

"Hurry up, you three! Stop sleeping in! Get up right now!!!"

Amidst the Black Mist Leader's uncontrollable roar, three figures appeared.

The old comrade's intense voice drew the attention of the other three commanders, who, without needing a reminder from the Black Mist Commander, naturally turned their gazes to the screen displaying Hunzhen's fighting stance.

Those chosen to oversee Wu Qilou are all top-tier experts among the Void True Gods, with each one having at least reached the limit of the Void True God level, and some even having broken through to the Eternal True God level over a long period of time.

However, at this moment they all froze involuntarily, as if they had been frozen in place, unable to move.

After a long silence, a sigh filled with emotion came from the mouth of the eternal god: "The younger generation is truly formidable."

The other three commanders looked at him in surprise.

"You are the eternal God!"

"Could it be that this little guy's agility has caught up with yours?"

The burly Eternal God Commander shook his head and uttered words that shook the hearts of the three commanders who had been somewhat prepared, as they were moved by Hunzhen's effortless evasion of the speed of light.

"I can't see through it."

Upon hearing this, even the Black Mist Commander, who had the highest hopes for Hunzhen, exclaimed in surprise: "You, an Eternal True God, can't even see through his movement technique?!"

He knew very well how capable his colleague was!

He didn't become an eternal god by chance or by a mere coincidence, but rather advanced through genuine ability.

Even this guy can't see through it, doesn't that mean the kid in this picture has already reached the peak level of the Eternal True God?

This idea wasn't entirely correct. The burly commander of the eternal gods saw through his colleague's thoughts but didn't intend to explain.

Is Hunzhen's movement technique powerful?

Of course it's amazing!

At the level of the Lord of Laws, that would be completely beyond comprehension!

If Luo Feng's movement technique displayed at Wu Qi Lou in the original work was close to the level of a Void True God, then Hun Zhen's movement technique, even if it did not fully reveal its limit, was still at the limit level of a Void True God!

If it is true that Luo Feng made rapid progress in his movement techniques only after coming into contact with Duan Donghe's inheritance in the original work.

So Hunzhen had already shown his talent in movement techniques during the period when he was in conflict with the mechanical god and created "Time and Space Maze"!

"Time and Space Maze" can be described as a magical secret technique that uses the time and space layer to avoid danger, but as Hunzhen studies it more deeply, it can also be regarded as an extremely powerful movement technique built with time and space as its core!

With its control over the surrounding space and time, Hunzhen seemed to do it instinctively, like a supercomputer that can calculate the best movement path in any path problem at the first moment, planning the perfect path anytime, anywhere.

Even without the ability to manipulate spacetime, it can effortlessly make all attacks miss.

Unlike "Time and Space Maze: The Constant Center," which completely baffled the Machine God, this one, despite having no magic tricks and moving around in a straightforward and effortless manner, seems to have hidden itself in an absolutely unobservable logical black box, which cannot be touched no matter what!

This is a movement technique that's like encountering those cunning and fast-moving villains in a game of hide-and-seek, standing right in front of you but impossible to catch—it's so infuriating it makes you grit your teeth.

This is a movement technique created by Hunzhen based on his understanding of the Time and Space Maze. It was named "Time and Space Maze: Absolute Time and Space" by Hunzhen.

Absolute Spacetime is a movement technique that does not change spacetime itself, yet makes one seem to become the master of spacetime!

but……

As the name suggests, this movement technique is utterly useless if one's control over time and space is not absolute.

There are few absolutes in this world, let alone in the ever-changing and unpredictable space and time.

It appears absolute, but it is actually relative.

Since time and space are not absolute, this movement technique becomes subject to the impermanence of time and space.

Once the opponent's understanding of space and time reaches a point where even a true master cannot absolutely control it, then using this movement technique is tantamount to offering yourself up for slaughter.

This is an invincible movement technique for crushing noobs.

The absolute spacetime at the ultimate level of the Void True God is a movement technique that even a peak Void True God cannot break through.

With the addition of omniscient vision, one naturally reaches the level of an eternal true god.

This also means that if this imposing and eternal true god were to personally enter the arena, he could break the spell in an instant.

But solving a problem and giving an answer are two different things.

The latest novel is first published here!

Being able to crack something and being able to see through it are two different things.

No matter how amazing it is, is it something to be proud of that the Eternal True God was able to break through the movement technique of a Law Master of Hunzhen?

This burly commander could not bring himself to say such shameful words.

The Black Mist Leader, unaware of the inside story, was increasingly amazed as he looked at Hunzhen.

When the Black Mist Commander summoned the three, it was naturally after Hunzhen had broken through the Lava Giant and the Rock Giant Hand.

Therefore, it was natural for the leader to raise a question.

"Why is this sergeant stuck in the first stage? Black Mist, are you interfering?"

Upon hearing this, the Black Mist Commander's expression turned strange. He grinned and pointed at the screen: "The first stage? This is the final stage!"

"Um?"

"Um!?"

The commanders who realized what was happening were all shocked, and then immediately pulled up the recording from not long ago.

Subsequently, the second-floor assessment of Wuqi Tower came to an end.

The surviving soldiers were simultaneously teleported to the third level, arriving at a vast grassland.

"Hmph, this batch is not bad, four of them actually survived?"

Hunzhen remained completely unmoved by the stares and wariness of others, and simply closed his eyes to rest.

After waiting silently for more than two months, forty soldiers finally gathered on the third floor of Wuqi Tower.

Above the grassland, amidst the terrifying surge of energy, a massive whirlpool unfolded on the water's surface.

At the center of the vortex, a huge crimson-gold eyeball emerged, looking down at the crowd below.

"Wuqi Tower!" An aged voice echoed in the minds of every soldier. "The first three floors are fraught with danger."

"As long as you survive the first three levels, there will be no more danger of death."

"Starting from the fourth level, there will be various inheritances, rewards, and so on... The higher you go, the greater the benefits you will receive," the aged voice said. "Of course, you must survive the third level."

The aged voice continued to echo in the minds of every soldier: "Of the forty soldiers you have fought on, based on your performance on the first two levels... only fifteen of you will survive on this third level!"

……

The aged voice had barely faded when a giant plant-based warrior chose to attack the person next to him.

Before a soldier who had lost too much divine power in the previous test could react, he was immediately annihilated into nothingness.

Immediately following, the crimson-gold divine eye high in the sky began to unleash a powerful impact of will.

Overwhelmed by the ever-increasing power of the will-shaking impact, and fearing they would not be able to withstand it before the final fifteen were decided, the soldiers immediately engaged in fierce fighting.

Hunzhen watched this scene with indifference.

Even when Luo Feng launched a pursuit of Xu Zhong, he remained unmoved.

At the same time, Hunzhen's surroundings seemed to have turned into a no-man's land, with no one approaching.

There are few fools who can make it to this level, and the extreme fear that Xu Zhong and the others showed towards Hunzhen could not escape the scrutiny of others.

You have to pick the softest persimmon.

If only the last fifteen survive, they can pass this level of assessment without facing death. Therefore, the natural choice is to eliminate the weak rather than target the strong.

Even the plant life that had previously launched a sneak attack on the soldiers around him was wary of Hunzhen's power and dared not touch the tiger's whiskers, let alone others.

Hunzhen watched the soldiers fight, then silently focused his attention on the crimson-gold divine eye and began to analyze it.

The powerful impact of the will made others want to close their eyes and cover their ears, but Hunzhen, being highly skilled and daring, boldly and directly took the initiative to pay attention.

That willpower impact will naturally be amplified!

Having already risen to the level of a true god, the impact of his will, which many soldiers could not withstand, was unexpectedly raised to the level of a void true god when Hunzhen took the initiative to face it!

However, for Hunzhen, whose will had long since reached the level of an eternal true god, this level of willpower pressure was nothing more than a gentle breeze.

"Using a mechanical treasure to perform that divine eye technique? As expected of the God King of Jin, his treasure-refining methods are truly extraordinary."

As Hunzhen observed the Crimson Gold Divine Eye and uttered words of praise, the soldiers who still had time to observe their surroundings noticed the change in Hunzhen's expression. They felt Hunzhen's terrifying and unpredictable nature even more, and a chill ran down their spines. They moved away again.

Before long, the number of soldiers had been reduced from forty to fifteen. The survivors were enveloped by the beam of light and teleported to the fourth floor.

On the fourth level, a beam of light enveloped fifteen soldiers, and there was a passageway in each of their four directions: front, back, left, and right.

The aged voice rang out again, beginning its explanation of this floor.

The four channels represent four types of rewards.

They bestowed treasures, secret techniques, and the inheritance of the true path of the gods.

As for how to reach the fifth floor, the aged voice disappeared without saying a word.

The soldiers, seeing that the old voice did not mention it, naturally assumed it was just a reward and ignored it.

Only Hunzhen had already experienced the differences between the four channels and knew the requirements for passing through them.
