The Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace in the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 6 Battle of Geniuses

Because of the Snow Moon Tree's clones and the fact that their strengths are very similar, the relationship between Heavenly Eclipse and Venerable Ancestral Tree is very good!

Of course, in the past, the two had carried out many missions together, and they could be said to be very good brothers, with a life-or-death friendship!

Soon, Venerable Ancestral Tree arrived at the Eclipse Star System guarded by the Snow Moon Tree!

The Snow Moon Tree clone of the Eclipse also appeared in the starry sky at the same time. Two huge tree-like divine bodies were seen in the universe at the same time. If viewed from the side, these two towering trees were more than 1 million kilometers tall!

The two tree-like life forms were vastly different: one was snow-white like a snowflake, and the other was mostly green like a tree, lush and verdant! Each leaf on the two trees was larger than a planet, like a continent!

The two tree-like deities simultaneously transformed into human bodies and entered the nearby Snow Moon Palace together. Because the Snow Moon Palace had now concealed its power, the Ancestral Tree Venerable did not notice anything special about it.

As they walked, Venerable Ancestral Tree said, "Haha, Brother Heavenly Eclipse, long time no see! Instead of focusing on your cultivation and breaking through to the Universe Lord realm, you invited me here to watch these little guys fight? Could it be that you can find inspiration from these little guys?"

"I'm just one step away from becoming the Lord of the Universe. Be careful, I might suddenly have an epiphany and break through to become the Lord of the Universe, surpassing you! Then you can come and serve under me, how about that?" Venerable Ancestral Tree joked with a smile.

"Zu Shu, can't a drink shut you up?" Li Yang said with a smile. "Although these kids are still very inexperienced, watching them compete is quite interesting! Didn't we emerge victorious from here back then?"

"Come, sit down!"

"It's a rare treat to invite you over for a get-together. Lately, we've all been training hard to break through to the Universe Master level as soon as possible. How long has it been since we sat here and had a few drinks? Cultivation needs a balance of work and rest!"

"Come, let's taste this Minghua liquor together!" Li Yang said, raising his glass.

Venerable Zushu raised his cup and said, "This Bright Flower Elixir must be quite expensive, right? I remember it was a treasured possession of the Lord of Qingdong. Brother, you actually have such a drink?"

Li Yang: "This Bright Flower Elixir is indeed a rare and precious brew for us plant life forms. I only managed to obtain a tiny bit from the Lord of Qingdong after taking over the responsibility of guarding the Blood Luo Continent!"

"However, at our level, the Minghua Elixir is mainly for its pleasant taste. Even if it can increase our mental processing speed, we still won't understand things we don't understand!"

Venerable Zushu: "Enough, enough! You're very kind, brother. I haven't tasted such fine wine in a long time! It's truly delicious!"

Li Yang said, "Brother, the Ultimate Genius Battle is about to begin. Let's see if there are any promising talents worth watching this year."

Soon, the Battle of the Peak Geniuses began as scheduled. In the initial preliminary rounds, each universe nation had outstanding contestants, but they were still a bit lacking for a powerhouse like Li Yang.

Currently, which of Li Yang's seven disciples isn't the champion of the Genius Battle? They are all geniuses who are ahead of their peers in the initial universe. For powerful figures like Li Yang and Zu Shu, becoming the champion of the Genius Battle is the only way to have their names reach their ears.

As Li Yang and Zu Shu sipped wine and chatted, three years passed in the blink of an eye. At the opening ceremony of the finals, Li Yang's Purple Chrysalis Beast clone personally attended and encouraged the geniuses from various cosmic nations. Of course, the rules were announced and the finals were hosted by his third disciple, Fred.

The final ranking stage of the Genius Battle has quickly arrived!

Li Yang said, "This year's Genius Battle doesn't have any good prospects. The strongest one, Kong Ze, has only reached the fifth floor of the sixth tower. It seems there's no need to keep paying attention to him!"

"Now we'll see how they perform in the initial universe. If they can reach the fifth level or higher within thirty years in the initial universe, they might still have a chance to become Venerables!"

Venerable Ancestral Tree: "Yes, geniuses are not so easy to discover. This is what a normal battle of geniuses should be like. How could we possibly encounter a peerless genius like you so easily? If every battle could produce a genius like you, our human race would have long since become the number one power in the primordial universe!"

Li Yang thought it made sense, so he instructed, "Xiao Zi, keep an eye on this genius named Kong Ze. He was able to win first place in one of the peak genius battles. Although his tower-climbing performance was average, he still has some merits. If he can reach the fifth level within the thirty years of the initial universe, inform the third brother, Fred, and have him take this kid as a disciple."

Li Yang's thought was, "Whether it's a sure thing or not, I'll just try my luck first." This kid from Kongze had a bit of luck to win first place in the first Genius Tournament he hosted.

At this moment, Venerable Ancestral Tree said, "After watching these little guys fight, I'm getting a little itchy to join in. Heavenly Eclipse, how about we have a spar?"

Li Yang said, "That's exactly what I was thinking too. Let's go, let's have a battle in the spatial interlayer!"

Within the spatial interlayer deep within the primordial universe, two towering trees emerged. Around these two trees, time and space seemed to freeze. Countless enormous fragments of space, upon approaching these two solidified spatial regions, shattered instantly, like water hitting a reef!

The two unleashed their most powerful techniques in a clash, the depths of the spatial interlayer permeated with a vast aura of divine power. With their combined strength, they exchanged thousands of blows in a mere moment.

Venerable Ancestral Tree laughed loudly, "Haha, it's so much more enjoyable to fight you, my brother! The divine bodies of the other human Venerables are all too small. I can't use my full strength. Often, before I even exert any effort, my opponent's divine body can't withstand it!"

Li Yang said, "Zu Shu, it was indeed exhilarating to fight you. Use your ultimate move and let me see if your strength has improved."

Two giant trees in the void clashed, employing various secret techniques, sometimes using their true forms and sometimes transforming into human forms; the fragments deep within the space were doomed, turning into the finest powder under this immense power.

Since it was just a friendly spar, neither of them unleashed their divine power. However, the two of them had such enormous divine power clones that every move they made caused huge turbulent currents of divine power. In the area where the two were clashing, even a high-level cosmic venerable would probably find it difficult to survive!

Upon hearing Tian Shi's words, the Ancestral Tree Venerable said, "Then you must be careful. This is my strongest move, 'Azure Sea Raging Waves,' which contains the laws of wood and space that I have comprehended!"

Li Yang said, "Then I would also like to invite you, Ancestral Tree, to witness the secret technique of 'Nine Heavens Flying Snow,' which I have just comprehended!"

The latest novel is first published here!

The collision of their ultimate secret techniques as masters of the universe instantly created a vast blank area in the spatial interlayer. Within this area, there were no fundamental particles of the universe at this moment! Not even spatial fragments could exist!

After the collision, the two stopped their moves.

Venerable Zushu said, "That feels so good! I've stretched my muscles and bones, otherwise I would feel like I'm covered in rust!"

Li Yang also took this opportunity to review his own combat skills. The two truly lived up to their reputation as top-tier cosmic overlords, effortlessly employing various combat techniques. Furthermore, the size of their divine power clones and their genetic multipliers were roughly equal, making them evenly matched.

Next, the two engaged in a clash of ordinary moves, occasionally interspersed with their strongest techniques. This exchange lasted for ten years.

However, in the end, Li Yang gained a slight advantage because his ultimate secret technique as the master of the universe had one more move.

Of course, Li Yang did not use his peak palace treasure. Otherwise, even if he only used the sealing ability of the palace treasure, it would not be something that Venerable Ancestral Tree could withstand.

At this time, the first Universe Peak Genius Battle, hosted by Li Yang, had come to an end.

Li Yang said, "Let's go, Ancestral Tree. Our battle this time has given me a lot of inspiration. I think it's time to go into seclusion and absorb it. Maybe when I come out of seclusion, I'll have broken through to the level of a Universe Lord. Then you can join my ranks!"

This is my first time writing a book, and I'm incredibly grateful for everyone's support! I personally love the Swallowed Star universe, so I've read quite a few fanfics about it. This book won't contain any of my personal biases or anything like that. As you can see, this is an invincible story; the protagonist won't experience any hardship. Please read with confidence!

The author has a job, so regardless of the book's success or failure, they will persevere and finish it! Goal: 200 million+ views.

However, my typing speed is limited, so I can only guarantee at least two chapters of stable updates every day!

Thank you again to everyone for your support. Please vote for me! Thank you!
