I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

Chapter 120 The Universe Venerable

"See those two? They're siblings, Qian Shui and Jiang Mo. They performed very well in this Genius Battle, and they're quite famous and powerful. They're both peerless geniuses. They're from Planet Augustus, which I've heard is very mysterious and has many special secret techniques." The outgoing Feng Lun said to Luo Yuan with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuan couldn't help but look over and discovered that the girl named Qian Shui was a very beautiful young woman. Of course, her real age was unknown. However, the girl's hair was green and had a natural curl. In particular, she had secret patterns on her face, which should be natural features. Her brother, Jiang Mo, looked similar to her, but he appeared much more masculine.

Luo Yuan wasn't familiar with these two people, so he simply nodded in acknowledgment.

The universe is vast, and naturally there are many planets and life forms. Among them, some life forms are born with great strength, and their planets have become quite famous because of them. Outsiders don't know much about them, so they seem very mysterious.

For example, the people of the planet Augustus where Qianshui and Jiangmo are located, or the people of the planet Manka who are born with high genetic levels.

It can be said that some mysterious and powerful planets have uniquely favorable living environments, so the humans living on them are naturally very powerful. Whether it is their innate physique or the cultivation resources they possess, they far surpass those of other planets, which naturally gives birth to super strong individuals who can reach the immortal realm.

Therefore, these powerful planets often form powerful forces, such as the human race's cosmic kingdoms. Cosmic kingdoms formed around these planets can easily control the surrounding star fields. With a vast area under their jurisdiction, they can also select and cultivate more talented and powerful individuals.

At this moment, in this vast central square, human geniuses from different cosmic nations gathered together to discuss the upcoming Genius Battle. Everyone was very excited, after all, most of them could only participate in such a Genius Battle once in their lives, and not everyone was qualified to participate in this final battle.

Luo Yuan merely glanced at the geniuses present. He knew that very few of them would make it to the end, so there was no need to have too much contact with them. He simply invited Luo Feng to find a place to rest. However, Luo Yuan's performance in the Genius Battle was so amazing that everyone was basically talking about him. In particular, some geniuses wanted to establish a friendship with Luo Yuan so that they could benefit from his growth. However, Luo Yuan didn't pay much attention to them.

Of course, some geniuses might be afraid of Luo Yuan's strength, but they wouldn't admit defeat verbally. So they could only say that Luo Yuan won because he had the advantage and the geniuses he fought were too weak. In any case, they used this to balance their wounded hearts. Whether others believed it or not, they believed it themselves, and it just made them look better on the surface.

Luo Yuan and Luo Yuan went directly to the restaurant built for the geniuses and had a big meal to celebrate their victory in the genius battle and to relax. No matter what the other geniuses thought, as long as Luo Yuan could achieve the final victory, that was enough.

While these geniuses were discussing and resting, the top-level officials who were supervising this genius battle were gathered on the top floor of the restaurant. Among them was the chief person in charge, Nine Swords Venerable, and the other proctors were all super strong people at the Immortal level. They seemed very casual at the time and were also chatting.

"Who do you think performed the best this time?"

"Haha, I think Bolan is quite good. This young man is not simple. He is currently at the peak of the Stellar level, but he has actually comprehended and mastered the laws of space to a good degree. It would not be surprising if he broke through to the Space Venerable level in time. I have high hopes for him."

"I disagree with what you said. Everyone knows that the most difficult breakthroughs in the Venerable realm are the Space Venerable and the Time Venerable. After all, these are two superior laws. The number of immortals who can break through to become these two Venerables is extremely small. The time required to reach this level is measured in hundreds of millions of years."

“That’s right. It’s incredibly difficult for us immortals to break through to become Venerables, let alone Venerables of Space and Time. It’s not just about comprehending the laws of space and time; you also need to have some control over other fundamental laws. I think Luo Yuan is quite good. That little guy has comprehended the Ten Fundamental Laws. It’s simply unbelievable.”

"Is Luo Yuan the peerless genius who performed the best in the Genius Battle and wiped out all the other geniuses by himself?"

"Haha, it seems everyone has high hopes for that little guy named Luo Yuan!"

“That’s right. I didn’t pay attention at first, but I was shocked when he used the Chaos Domain, especially when he actually upgraded it to the Chaos World and annihilated everyone in an instant. It’s clear that he has comprehended the Ten Great Fundamental Laws. I have never heard of or seen such talent in my billions of years. As long as this person does not perish, he will surely become a Venerable!”

"I think Luo Yuan has the talent to become the master of the universe or even a true god!"

"Everyone's very talkative, what are they talking about?"

Just as these immortal realm experts were discussing enthusiastically, the Nine Swords Venerable, who was sitting at the head of the table, suddenly opened his eyes and asked a question. He had just logged into the virtual universe and explained some of the details of this genius battle to the Chaos City Lord, so he hadn't paid much attention to the situation on the spot. Only now did he have the mind to ask.

This Nine Swords Venerable appears to be on par with Earth humans, especially with his extremely handsome appearance. Coupled with his aura as a cosmic venerable, he appears majestic and extraordinary. All the immortal powerhouses present became respectful, having forgotten that this big shot was even there.

Now that the Nine Swords Venerable has spoken, everyone stopped holding back and directly shared their opinions on this genius battle. Every immortal expert had high hopes for Luo Yuan and praised him highly. This made the Nine Swords Venerable remember Luo Yuan's name, and he decided to pay close attention to Luo Yuan's situation later.

The Nine Swords Venerable hadn't actually paid much attention to the previous Genius Battle, since he was a Universe Venerable and only interested in the final. Geniuses who couldn't make it to the final battle weren't worth his attention. However, they hadn't expected that a few truly outstanding geniuses would emerge this time, allowing him to gain even more benefits.

The Genius Battle is held at a fixed time, and each time a Universe Venerable is sent to oversee it as the overall person in charge. If an unparalleled genius appears, then these universes can also obtain some precious treasures from the human race's treasury, so the Nine Swords Venerable is also very happy.

So the Nine Swords Venerable gathered all the remaining geniuses together and explained the specific rules of the upcoming genius battle to them. This surprised the geniuses present, and they also felt immense pressure.

Chapter 121 Remains in First Place

The words of the man in the green robe left the millions of geniuses below stunned.

There were a total of 1008000 people this time, which means that more than one million people were eliminated in just one trial space!

The mysterious and powerful figure representing Virtual Universe Company left after making a brief announcement.

As Luo Yuan watched the disappearing figure of the man in the green robe, he guessed that this person might be the Nine Swords Venerable. His strength was truly terrifying. He was able to control the consciousness of millions of geniuses silently, leaving them with no power to resist. In other words, this Venerable could annihilate them all with just a thought. The feeling of having one's life controlled by another was truly unsettling.

The next morning.

"Everyone, please prepare yourselves. We will soon be conducting a mass teleportation, sending all participants to their respective trial spaces." A clear and melodious voice echoed throughout the entire dimensional space. All the geniuses in the 1008 buildings had already gotten up, waiting for this initial elimination.

Elimination first, then the final battle.

However, in terms of cruelty, the elimination trial is clearly more chilling.

"come on."

"Keep trying." In the lobby of Building 0825, many geniuses from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom wished each other well. It was too cruel. More than a million people were eliminated in the first wave. Of the 1000 geniuses present, probably no more than a handful were still here.

"Third Brother, good luck."

"Go for it, fourth brother."

Luo Yuan and Luo Feng encouraged each other.

suddenly--

boom!

An invisible, strange force descended upon the entire dimensional space, instantly teleporting all 1008000 young geniuses within it. The immortal beings and restaurant staff within the space remained completely unaffected.

……

This is a nearly rectangular meteorite, almost 100 kilometers long, suspended in the cosmic sky.

brush!

Luo Yuan appeared on the meteorite, looked around, saw tiny stars in the distance, and ordinary, lifeless planets not too far away. He couldn't help but sigh and laugh, "The virtual universe has built millions of trial spaces, and even a single trial space can be so realistic."

Seven trial towers were built on a meteorite drifting in space!

Each trial tower was as tall as a mountain, over ten kilometers high and several kilometers in circumference. The seven trial towers were situated in different locations on this giant meteorite.

Luo Feng looked down at his wrist, where there was a screen, just like the one in the preliminary rounds of the Qianwu Universe.

Participant: Luo Yuan (Qianwu Universe Kingdom)

Points: 0

Ranking: None

Trial Space Location: Number 027 9527

There are seven trial towers in the trial space, and each trial tower has seven floors.

The first trial tower awards a maximum of 10,000 points per floor. Successfully completing all seven floors will yield a maximum of 70,000 points.

The second trial tower offers a maximum of 100,000 points per floor. Successfully completing all seven floors will yield a maximum of 700,000 points.

……

The fourth trial tower offers a maximum of ten million points per floor. Successfully completing all seven floors will yield a maximum of seventy million points.

……

The seventh trial tower offers a maximum of 10 billion points per floor. Successfully completing all seven floors will yield a maximum of 70 billion points.

Note: The trial ends upon death.

There are two ways to pass each level: 1. Kill all the targets in this level to get the highest score and be directly teleported to the next level. 2. If you fail to kill all the targets, after 10 days, if you are still alive, you will be directly teleported to the next level to continue the trial.

The trial ends when all participants have perished. The final rankings will then be determined.

Below is a ranking list.

……

"This is insane." Luo Yuan looked at the screen and shook his head. "All dead, the trial is over? What does that mean... it means no one can possibly pass all seven trial towers. But I want to try!"

Luo Yuan's lips curled up, his face full of excitement; he could have fun again.

boom!

Luo Yuan transformed into a streak of light and flew to the first trial tower. The entrance pillars of the trial tower, which was over ten kilometers high, were marked with the symbol '1', indicating that it was the first trial tower. Luo Yuan prepared all his psychic weapons, battle armor, and other equipment before entering the first trial tower.

We just entered the tower.

The text on Luo Yuan's screen changed: "First level of the first tower: 1 ferocious beasts, 'Blood-haired Mammoths'..."

At the edge of the screen on the arm, there is a countdown timer, indicating that once 10 days have passed, the user will be teleported directly.

Luo Yuan smiled, "Then let's begin!"

……

One day later, on the seventh floor of the first trial tower.

"Too slow, too slow! You're supposed to be a massive Zerg army that roams the universe, is this all you've got?"

Luo Yuan moved freely among the overwhelming Zerg army. With a single movement, tens of thousands of illusory bodies appeared, making it impossible for the Zerg warriors to distinguish which one was the real body, leaving them only able to attack frantically.

He conquered seven levels of the first trial tower without encountering any opponents, though killing them took some time. Everywhere he went, not a single survivor was found. The Zerg army on the seventh level was composed entirely of warriors at the ninth level of the Stellar Realm, and they stretched as far as the eye could see.

Luo Yuan directly unleashed the third level of the Divine Weapon, "Heavenly Sword Style." 729 small golden swords formed a sword domain, with a few strands of gold and the fundamental laws of space merging into the domain. Instantly, the sword domain shone brightly with golden light, becoming unbreakable. The insectoid warriors that charged forward were all shredded into dust by the sword energy. Soon, the corpses of these insectoid warriors piled up into a mountain in front of Luo Yuan, and green blood formed a river on the ground.

Even so, those disgusting Zerg warriors remained fearless, wielding their sharp forelimbs as they rapidly attacked Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan flew directly into the air, looking down at the densely packed Zerg warriors below. He decided to unleash a group attack skill. With a thought, the entire sky immediately became covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled. He pressed his right hand down, and countless blue lightning bolts slammed down on the Zerg army below. Countless Zerg warriors were blasted into ashes by the terrifying lightning. The seventh floor of the first trial tower was transformed into a world of lightning, and Luo Yuan was the god of this world.

……

In the virtual universe, 1008 immortal beings sat casually in the central square.

The elimination rounds in the trial space are not broadcast publicly across the entire universe; only the changes in the rankings are made public. The final arena battle, however, will be broadcast publicly! But… the immortal beings of the various cosmic nations do have the authority to watch the trial progress of each participant.

"This little guy named Luo Yuan is indeed ruthless. He rushed to the seventh floor of the first trial tower in one day and firmly held the first place. Moreover, no one survived in the places he passed through."

"Hmm, this little guy's lightning domain is more than a hundred times stronger than others!"

"He seems to have also comprehended the legendary chaotic world, but this move requires too much energy."

"Look! His lightning domain has expanded into a lightning world; he's about to emerge from seclusion again!"

"What terrifying potential! Even Bolan, who is currently ranked second in the standings, is far ahead of him!"

"Thirteen, your Qianwu Universe Kingdom has truly produced a super genius this time."

"Not bad." The giant in the scale armor nodded slightly, sitting in the large chair, looking at the screen in front of him, but the pride on his face was evident.
