Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 74 The Appearance of the Divine Weapon

As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Jun activated his domain.

Although both are masters of comprehending earth and space, Rong Jun's domain is completely different from Long Yun's.

Rong Jun could not perfectly integrate the laws and the domain like Long Yun, forming an extremely oppressive field.

Instead, his domain was compressed to just one meter around his body, and he was almost always in a state of explosive potential.

There's no need to suppress others through your domain; simply isolate others' domains and maximize their effect to enhance your own burst damage.

This is a martial arts technique that focuses purely on close combat!

Whoosh!

Rong Jun pushed off with his back foot and charged towards Hunzhen in an instant.

Regardless of the level of the opponent's understanding of the laws, when a martial artist faces a mentalist, the primary goal is naturally to close the distance.

Whoosh!

Rong Jun raised his head slightly, and in a daze, he seemed to see a sun rising from behind Hunzhen.

Nine rhomboid meteorites, imbued with the power of flames, shot out, intertwining with each other to instantly form a terrifying vortex of fire.

Meteorite Divine Weapon, Second Level - Flame Star Vortex!

Rong Jun's pupils contracted.

The vortex shot out, bringing with it an endless heat wave.

The entire arena became incredibly hot, and it felt as if one's body had been thrown into solidified cement, making even moving extremely difficult.

It was as if it wasn't a vortex of flames formed by a telekinetic weapon, but a magnificent sun that was about to sweep everything into it!

Rong Jun couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine!

"Is the gap really that big?"

His movement skills are extremely strong, and coupled with his profound understanding of space, he can also achieve a perfect nine-line flow.

But now, under the suppression of the Flaming Star Vortex unleashed by Hunzhen, it is even difficult to create an illusion!

He knew perfectly well that the other party's understanding of "spatial confinement" far surpassed his own understanding of "teleportation," achieving complete superiority and suppression.

His body trembled slightly, but he was not intimidated by it. Instead, he became excited and his fighting spirit soared.

The young savage's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were clenched, and he swung his knife with all his might, letting out a deafening roar.

"break!"

The blade's edge seemed to tear through space, pushing aside the heatwave in front of him, finally allowing Rong Jun to regain some of his normal mobility.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Rong Jun was still shocked by the gap between them.

He was well aware that Hunzhen could simultaneously control nine fiery star vortexes in combat.

Now, even at only one-ninth of his original strength, the oppressive power is so terrifying that he is almost powerless to resist.

"It's impossible to get close using only footwork."

Rong Jun's gaze darkened, his expression extremely grave as he watched the rapidly approaching vortex of fiery energy: "The only way is to take this attack head-on!"

Taking advantage of the brief moment when the space returned to normal, Rong Jun's figure suddenly flashed.

The real body and an illusory body simultaneously gripped their battle blades and slashed towards the Flame Star vortex.

*Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! ...*

Streaks of sword light, powerful enough to split mountains and cleave peaks, plunged into the vortex and were instantly engulfed by the flames.

Rong Jun frantically burned his power, but could only slow down the speed of the Flame Star Vortex by one percent.

As the Fiery Star Vortex drew closer, the illusory body was ignited by flames, shattered, and disappeared.

"Not enough! Not enough! Not enough! It's far from enough!"

Rong Jun continued to wildly swing his battle sword.

His aura surged wildly as he swung his sword.

Every strike was delivered with full force, enough to severely injure Gusiluo.

Like Icarus, who fearlessly flew towards the blazing sun, he burned everything in order to slightly hinder the sun's movement.

In this frenzied outburst, Rong Jun's body was torn to pieces and covered in blood.

His vision suddenly blurred, and in the next instant, he found that the burning sun had vanished without a trace, and a gentle, peaceful voice reached his ears.

"What amazing fighting spirit. Rong Jun, as you wished."

Rong Jun opened his eyes wide with all his might.

He realized that his body was about to completely disintegrate.

"Damn it!"

Having finally made it this far, just when this guy was about to fulfill his promise, he was about to leave the stage first?

Rong Jun strained to widen his eyes to their limit, letting the blood trickle down his cheeks, and stubbornly propped himself up with the knife, raising his head.

Then he saw...

"bead?"

He had barely uttered a questioning sound when the light pierced through him.

The next second, he had already landed in the audience.

He was met with the shocked gazes of the geniuses who had already withdrawn from the final competition.

Having been refreshed by the virtual universe system and fully restored, Rong Jun immediately grabbed someone's shoulder impatiently: "Hey, did you even see that guy's last move?!"

"Huh? What? Savage? Sorry, I didn't watch your fight with the Balrog."

Unfortunately, they just happened to catch a guy who hadn't watched his game.

"It's a Primordial Spirit Pearl."

Fortunately, a kind-hearted viewer offered to answer Rong Jun's question.

Rong Jun glanced to the side and saw a tall, thin young man dressed in a black robe.

Upon seeing the tall, thin young man, the comrade immediately pointed and said, "Ah~ aren't you that Phantom Demon Galesi? I remember you were eliminated by Hunzhen before."

Galesi turned his head sharply, staring coldly at the comrade, making the man tremble, before saying, "Trash."

The comrade's eyes widened; he had initially been hesitant, but now he was indignant: "You—"

The latest novel is first published here!

Galesi scoffed, "If you were to face me, you'd only last two moves at most."

The man stammered and couldn't speak.

His pride as a genius made him understand the truth of what Galesi said, and he immediately snorted coldly and walked away sullenly.

"The Primordial Divine Weapon is the foremost of the nine divine weapons controlled by its user."

As the two were arguing, Rong Jun heard a familiar voice, turned around, and saw it was Luo Feng.

He immediately realized that the other person was in the same boat as him, and with a smirk, he said, "Madman, it seems we are indeed brothers in misfortune."

Luo Feng rolled his eyes speechlessly, then glanced at the arena, his expression gradually becoming solemn: "A Yuan Shen weapon is the strongest divine weapon, a fusion of 'time' and 'space.' That 'Splitting Light Style' that just defeated you could never be executed without a certain level of understanding of time. This Hunzhen must also possess extremely profound knowledge of the laws of time!"

As a true master of mental energy, how could Luo Feng not know anything about the other eight divine weapons? Especially the one with the greatest reputation?

"The laws of time?"

Rong Jun was stunned for a moment, unable to hide his shock, then burst into laughter: "The law of time is wonderful!"

Galesi, standing to the side, gave Rong Jun a cold glance: "A lunatic?"

Rong Jun smiled faintly: "In terms of spatial laws alone, Hunzhen is weaker than Bolan, but when spacetime is added together, the result... is it still accurate?"

Galesi paused for a moment, then belatedly realized that his pupils had shrunk.

Rong Jun chuckled and said, "Losing to first place is better than losing to second!"

Recognizing the enormous gap between himself and Hunzhen, Rong Jun did not feel discouraged or defeated. Instead, it aroused boundless fighting spirit and the motivation to catch up.

Seeing Rong Jun's expression, Luo Feng smiled helplessly: "You're quite magnanimous."

Bolan, Hunzhen, Aichen, Wuka, Longyun.

Luo Feng and Long Yun fought until the arena space shrank to a hundred meters, and Luo Feng was the last to finish the match.

When Luo Feng came down from the stage to talk to Rong Jun, the competition to narrow down the top ten to the top five had already ended.

The Nine Swords Master announced that the final competition for the top five would be a cycle battle, with each person facing off against four others, ranked according to their winning points. He then allowed everyone to rest briefly in preparation for the final showdown.

In the audience seats, Rong Jun and Luo Feng recounted their earlier defeat, while Galesi occasionally chimed in with his comments, eventually turning the discussion into one about who would win the Primal Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, the immortals' debate had only just begun.

"A Divine Weapon? This kid actually had this hidden trick up his sleeve!?"

Apart from the winged immortals they had encountered before, the other immortals were all somewhat shocked.

"Bai Yu, how much do you know about this complete understanding of the laws of time, your team's?"

When asked by his friend, the immortal white-feathered man could only roll his eyes: "This kid hid from beginning to end, how could I possibly know anything?"

Some people raised doubts: "Could it be that the higher-ups already knew what this kid was hiding, and that's why they gave him two extra spots? Otherwise, based on his previous performance, he might not even deserve an extra spot."

The immortals exchanged bewildered glances: "Could it really be true?"

And a question that had never been raised before naturally emerged at this point.

Hunzhen and Bolan...

So, who comes out on top?

The question that only the immortal beings of the Noah Universe Kingdom had once had has now spread to their minds.

Regardless of who is stronger or weaker, at this moment, in their hearts, these two are undoubtedly geniuses on the same level.
