The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 221, Part 1: One Move, One World
At this moment, Qin Hao suddenly curled up the corners of his mouth slightly.

He naturally knew where Luo, the Lord of the Time Realm, was in seclusion.

Moreover, the other party had also entered a second life, and Qin Hao could naturally detect their location if he paid attention.

The opponent has successfully broken through, and all their power has converged into divine power.

Next, all that's needed is to find a place to build the kingdom.

This is an immortal military lord.

No, not just an immortal military lord, but an immortal marquis.

Yes, Luo, the Lord of the Time Realm, has risen in strength, directly reaching the level of a Marquis.

This is due to the accumulation of time realm master Luo. His previous accumulation was very profound, but it was precisely because of this that he could not break through the core and advance to immortality.

After meeting Qin Hao, you can also study the Heavenly Book Stele and the incomplete Chaos Stele.

Luo, the Lord of the Time Realm, also received targeted guidance from Qin Hao.

For this reason, Qin Hao also consulted the Illusionary Butterfly King and his senior sisters.

It can be said that Qin Hao played a significant role in Luo's breakthrough as the Lord of the Time Realm.

In other worlds that place great importance on cause and effect, if the Time Realm Lord Luo wanted to ascend to immortality or break through to immortality, he would first have to repay his karmic debts.

"It's exciting. The battle for the top five is really exciting and surprising."

The Nine Swords Venerable spoke, and his words resonated with many.

Many people seemed genuinely pleasantly surprised, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"Chen Yang, Bolan, Luo Feng, Qian Shui, Lancelot, you all did very well, very well."

The Nine Swords Venerable gave Chen Yang, who was in Qin Hao's direction, a deep look.

However, a slight hint of regret was revealed.

Although it subsided quickly.

Qin Hao seemed lost in thought, perhaps it was related to the path he had chosen.

Is the Nine Swords Venerable planning to take me in, but worried that I have too many laws to cultivate and that I might not be able to break through the encirclement in the future?
After all, a genius is just a genius; without growth and development, he is useless.

Qin Hao only considered the matter of becoming the disciple of the Nine Swords Venerable for a short while before finding it troublesome.

He already has the Illusionary Butterfly King as his master, which greatly helps his strength.

In addition, there was Senior Brother Xiao Dong, who also took the opportunity to give some pointers to Lord Luo of the Time Realm during his visit.

He was also generous in giving guidance to his junior fellow student.

Qin Hao didn't want to learn from them, but rather to understand their cultivation experience and then integrate it into his own, making it his own experience.

As he himself said, "Those who learn from me will die, those who resemble me will live."

He doesn't need to completely follow their path; he will inevitably forge his own.

In that case, the Nine Swords Venerable and Xiao Dong are somewhat redundant and not essential.

He also hoped that it would be best if a cosmic ruler could take him as a disciple.

He would even be delighted if the founder of Giant Axe were willing to take on apprentices.

The Nine Swords Venerable was slightly inferior.

If outsiders knew that Qin Hao looked down on a Venerable One and refused to become his disciple, countless people would criticize, envy, and resent him.

But that's the truth.

Of course, if the Nine Swords Venerable insists on taking on disciples...

Even if you can't fight city hall, Qin Hao won't stubbornly refuse.

"Everyone, take a break first. We'll start the first five rounds of battles later. The rules are... each of the top five will fight against the other four people. The winners will get one point. Finally, we'll rank them by points to determine the first, second, and third place winners."

A moment later, the arena rose again.

Qin Hao found himself placed alone on a fighting stage.

The others fought each other in pairs.

Luo Feng versus Qian Shui, Death God Bolan versus Lancelot.

Of the five players, one will naturally get a bye. But that's alright, they'll have to fight sooner or later anyway.

Rong Jun exclaimed from below, "Luo Feng is amazing! He actually mastered the Sky Piercing Style. This third place is definitely his."

Qian Shui was also an extremely capable girl, but unfortunately she encountered Luo Feng, who had become Qin Hao's disciple, and in the end, she could only suffer defeat.

And Deathbringer Berlan won without any doubt.

Qin Hao's battle was about to begin. Qian Shui had barely made a few moves before Qin Hao's sword was at her neck.

This made Qian Shui roll her eyes.

"What a heartless person who doesn't know how to cherish women."

Qin Hao rubbed his nose: "For cultivators, when it comes to battle, it's battle. Why be gentle with women?"

He and Qian Shui had never spoken, but since they were both human, he had to hold back.

When facing the Zerg mother hive again, with that exquisite face, should I show her any mercy?

Qin Hao's actions were not considered inappropriate by the geniuses and immortals; on the contrary, they were considered perfectly appropriate.

Just as Qin Hao said, when it comes to battle, you have to go all out.

If you show mercy to a beautiful woman, the outcome will undoubtedly be tragic.

Next was Lancelot, who didn't even manage one more move than Qian Shui before being blasted down by Qin Hao's Five-Colored Warriors.

Completely defenseless.

In his battle with Luo Feng, Qin Hao used the same abilities as in his previous battle with Zhang Yuanbai.

But each one is more powerful than Luo Feng.

Qin Hao performed the Heaven-Piercing Technique of the Divine Weapon even better than Luo Feng.

Qin Hao looked at Luo Feng and smiled, "Watch closely, this is the third level of the Divine Weapon, and this is how it should be used."

Luo Feng was taken aback, then stared intently at Qin Hao.

He knew Qin Hao was powerful, but he didn't know that Qin Hao had also cultivated the Divine Weapon.

Qin Hao can even use the third level of this divine weapon?
"The third level of the Divine Weapon is called the Heavenly Sword Style. It is also known as the Sword Domain. Watch closely."

Nine golden swords suddenly materialized around Qin Hao, each composed of 81 smaller swords, for a total of 729 smaller golden swords.

Each of these 729 small golden swords was precisely controlled by Qin Hao.

This is the realm of the sword; within this realm, there is only the sword.

Luo Feng felt as if he were surrounded by countless small golden swords.

Endless and never-ending.

"It's actually the third level of the Divine Weapon?"

"Amazing!"

"I thought his own creation of the Divine Weapon Heaven and Earth Chessboard was already very powerful. He created the third layer of the black and white world. Once the Divine Weapon was created, few could rival him."

"If Zhang Yuanbai hadn't yet cultivated the Heaven and Earth Chessboard to the third level, he might have been able to advance to the top five this time as well."

The thirteen divine generals nodded: "The third level of the Divine Weapon is dozens or even hundreds of times more difficult than the second level."

For the cosmic level, if one can display the third form, he can be called invincible in the same level.

There are practically no beings who can use the third level at the stellar level.

"That's terrifying, that talent!"

"That's precisely why we can't waste this talent."

An immortal suggested that Qin Hao should specialize in one skill.

It's important to understand that the deeper your foundation, the more difficult it will be to make breakthroughs later.

If Qin Hao can specialize in one path, he can first advance to immortality.

It's not too late to practice other things after that.

An immortal nodded: "Indeed, mastering the third level of the Divine Weapon and achieving a thousand consecutive victories in the Giant Axe Arena would be a piece of cake."

The golden threads burst out and connected with each other, and the golden sword energy burst out with the nine golden swords as the center. The spherical space with a radius of 300 meters with the caster as the center instantly became a dazzling world of sword energy, and countless golden sword energies wandered in this spherical space.

Few can rival him.

"Actually, the third level of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard is also extremely powerful. I have also tried to cultivate it and found that it has been of great help to me. I am currently commissioning the Heavenly Craft Pavilion to make a Heaven and Earth Chessboard, not the kind sold on the market. I feel that there may be an even higher level of use behind it."

An immortal suddenly spoke.

This surprised the other immortals.

You should know that the final level of the divine weapon is called "Immortal, yet also capable of defeating".

This means that if you cultivate to the ninth level, you will have gained the strength to rival immortality.

But they are already immortal.

What do you need this divine weapon for?
The immortal laughed and said, "Don't look at me like that. The third layer of this Heaven and Earth Chessboard actually has great potential to be explored."

It is already equivalent to the fourth to sixth level of the Divine Weapon.

In Qin Hao's hands, it might even be able to unleash the power of the seventh level of the Divine Weapon.

I feel that he is still exploring other uses for this divine weapon.

In the future, it may be used for immortality.

"By making contact early, I might be able to gain some advantages for myself on battlefields outside this region in the future."

The immortals were taken aback for a moment, then thought about it and realized it was indeed true.

With their sharp eyesight, they could naturally see it too.

The potential of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard is quite good.

Although Qin Hao, the inventor, is still constantly exploring and developing.

This serves as an inspiration for future generations.

Moreover, starting from the third level of the black and white world, its potential is already very strong.

Qin Hao has also revealed a lot of his potential in this battle of geniuses.

It can be said that with the emergence of the third layer of this Heaven and Earth Chessboard, Qin Hao was already in an invincible position in the arena competition.

Even the Grim Reaper Berlan would find it unlikely to defeat Qin Hao within the sphere of influence of the Black and White World.

Moreover, faced with Qin Hao's endless tricks, Death God Berlan should have little ability to resist.

"Take another look. This is the fourth level of the Divine Weapon, which is simple yet profound."

As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, the Sword Domain was completely integrated into the totem golden pillar.

1600 small swords were combined to form a thick golden pillar that was nearly ten meters high.

Qin Hao held the giant golden pillar, giving Luo Feng an extremely terrifying feeling.

He actually cultivated to the fourth level?
The other immortals were also stunned.

However, some people think it's only natural.

"He might be looking for inspiration from other divine weapons to develop his own."

"This is the fifth level, spatial cutting."

As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, 81 small golden swords combined to form a golden sword, and 36 real golden swords, each over a foot long, combined to form a dark golden longsword about three meters long.

With just a casual golden sword, Luo Feng was forced into a sorry state.

If Qin Hao hadn't been showing Luo Feng the divine weapon, there would have been other secret techniques.

Luo Feng has already been ousted from the stage.

Although Luo Feng was in a sorry state, his eyes were bright.

Qin Hao's every performance gave him a lot of inspiration.

He felt that once he absorbed all of this, his strength would grow significantly.

"But actually, I haven't finished exploring the third level of my Heaven and Earth Chessboard yet. You can also try cultivating it. This third level, once activated, can give you an advantage in battle. The surrounding environment will be favorable to you and unfavorable to the enemy. Moreover, it can be used in conjunction with the Divine Weapon for an even stronger effect."

Of course, this is not without its drawbacks.

That means the consumption of genetic energy is too great.

This thing isn't a Dao artifact, so it can't be pre-charged and has no way to store energy on its own.

Fortunately, Qin Hao himself has abundant magical power, genetic energy, and mental power.

We are not afraid of this little bit of consumption at all.

There is also spiritual water in the spiritual pool, which can be consumed at any time to restore one's energy reserves.

Qin Hao also granted Luo Feng and his group the right to exchange for these items.

The price is extremely cheap.

In any case, the Primordial Mirror is constantly converting void energy, which is enough for them to use.

"Wonderful, so wonderful."

All thirteen divine generals had to admit their performance was brilliant.

Qin Hao's performance was absolutely brilliant.

Luo Feng, without a doubt, could no longer hold on after the fifth level and was defeated. Death God Berlan stepped onto the arena, looked at Qin Hao opposite him, and also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Even Death God Berlan felt he wouldn't be powerless against a cosmic-level opponent.

Because of his profound understanding of the laws, he can easily defeat even a cosmic-level opponent.

Even though he might still be struggling as the domain lord, Death God Berlan was confident that he could escape.

But when facing Qin Hao, he felt powerless.

"But I won't give up."

Qin Hao nodded: "All I can give you is my all."

In reality, even though he was giving it his all, Death's Berlan was not yet able to force him to reveal his full potential.

Qin Hao will not use the Life-Slaying Sword Formation.

"bring it on!"

Death God Berlan shouted, and more than a hundred spatial illusions appeared around him.

That's not all. These hundred-plus spatial illusions are also cooperating with each other, using different sword techniques to attack Qin Hao.

Qin Hao turned to look at the people from the Heavenly Craft Pavilion below the stage and said, "Actually, the reason I said that the Heavenly Chessboard is beneficial to us is that, being in the black and white world, we can create an environment that is favorable to us."

For example, his more than one hundred spatial illusions are quite troublesome.

Then cut and surround.

Even a temporary exile of some.

As soon as he finished speaking, Death God Berlan also felt his spatial illusion begin to move.

The size of this black-and-white world has been greatly expanded.

His spatial avatars were banished to every corner.

Even in these corners, there are all sorts of traps.

His spatial illusion was extremely powerful. Death God Berlan was confident that even a random spatial illusion could easily defeat those geniuses ranked below 100.

But even his spatial illusion found itself in trouble amidst these traps.

Some of them might even die inside.

He once again created more than two hundred spatial illusions.

This shocked the immortals.

"His mastery of the Myriad Threads Flow technique has reached such a level?"

"That's true. The geniuses of this year are all too amazing. In previous years, each of these top ten geniuses would have been a contender for first place."

"What a glorious era! This year's class is truly amazing."

"Being able to participate in this year's Genius Battle is both their blessing and their tragedy."

"Their brilliance was destined to be overshadowed by the Heavenly Craft Pavilion Master, but it seems that many of them received guidance from the Heavenly Craft Pavilion Master and made significant improvements."

"It seems that the Master of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion is quite generous and willing to guide others?"

An immortal suddenly spoke, and the voice was so loud that all the geniuses nearby heard it.

Some of them looked down on it.

But many people were also moved.

It is never shameful to ask questions of those less knowledgeable than yourself.

Moreover, Qin Hao's strength is such that even Death God Berlan has to take him seriously and feels powerless against him.

Why can't they ask for advice?
On the field, Qin Hao was indeed exploring other uses for the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

This can be set up with a single thought, creating a black and white world.

Although this is not the real world, it is actually just a small section of space that has been cut off to form an independent space.

It doesn't even qualify as a secret realm.

As for the blessed lands, grotto-heavens, and even the minor worlds above, they are even less impressive.

But he is also exploring how to raise the upper limit of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

The precious jade that forms the chessboard of heaven and earth was obtained by the father of the original Qianyang Realm from a secret realm or treasure vault.

It comes from the same place as that golden thread treasure, but it is not as good as that golden thread treasure.

But it is also extremely rare.

Over the years, Qin Hao has searched for the precious jade in the Swallowed Star World and the Qianyang Realm many times, and integrated himself into them.

The quality of this chessboard is also constantly improving.

Now, it's already a low-grade magic weapon.

Moreover, it is a special treasure.

This exciting match was so captivating that even the immortals found it quite enjoyable.

Of course, to them, Qin Hao's methods, as well as Death God Berlan's methods, were actually very crude and low-level.

It's like a primary school student doing a problem; no matter how ingenious your calculation method is.

But to college students and even graduate students, it's really just an elementary school problem.

But in the process, they also witnessed the sparks of thought between Qin Hao and Death God Berlan.

Although it's insignificant to them.

But perhaps it also touched me in some ways.

Or perhaps, just treat it as something new to see.

The other geniuses, however, looked at the stage with expressions of shock.

I won't go into detail about these two.

They couldn't keep up.

Even Death God Berlan, they were no match for him.

Their strength is too great.

However, it is truly tragic that such powerful figures came from the same generation as them.

Given their abilities, they could have achieved even greater success in previous years.

But in this year's competition, they were overshadowed.

Perhaps when future generations point this out, they will only be supporting characters who add icing on the cake.

Even the green leaves that set off the flowers.

Although I felt unwilling, my blood seemed to be boiling.

Being selected in this year's competition is enough to make their names known.

In other years, he would simply be like any other genius, eventually fading into obscurity in the long river of time.

"Master of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, you are truly amazing!"

Death God Berlan suddenly spoke, but he gritted his teeth and said, "However, I have one more move, this is my trump card. If you can even deal with this move, then I am willing to admit defeat."

Qin Hao laughed and said, "Go ahead and use it."

In a world of black and white, as long as it's not someone far stronger than him...

Even among those of the same level, or even at the cosmic or domain lord level, he wouldn't need to worry too much.

If you can't win, you can always run away.

"Space strangulation!"

Death God Berlan roared, and his hundreds of spatial illusions gathered together again, totaling a full five hundred.

This is the result of practicing the Myriad Flow technique to a certain level.

Going further up, even ten thousand or more spatial illusions cannot be cultivated at the stellar level.

Even Qin Hao had only cultivated his spatial illusion body to a little over a thousand levels.

Even with all his strength, he could only manage a mere three thousand spatial illusions.

There is still a considerable distance to go before reaching the fourth level of the Myriad Streams.

The speed at which Death God Berlan comprehends this is already quite impressive.

Qin Hao could tell that he could probably create even more spatial illusions; this wasn't the opponent's full strength.

However, Death God Berlan's technique has probably not been fully developed yet. Being able to unify the power of five hundred spatial illusions is already his limit.

Qin Hao's expression turned slightly serious as he said, "As expected, as a genius valued by many high-ranking officials, how could you possibly behave the way you did before?"

The person you are now is the proudest and most authentic version of yourself.

Everyone else was stunned.

The Grim Reaper Berlan who drove them to the brink of despair was not actually the real Grim Reaper Berlan.

But looking at Berlan, the Grim Reaper, on the stage at this moment, it seems that this is indeed the case.

"This Death God Berlan is indeed formidable. This secret technique is self-created, and even more powerful than Rong Jun's self-created secret technique. He should have followed the path of space, instead of pursuing the fusion of space and time?"

Meanwhile, the five hundred Death God Berlans, each with a spatial illusion, were also unleashing a spatial strangulation technique.

These five hundred spatial strangulations merged together, forming a huge spatial vortex.

Under this powerful spatial crushing force, even space itself was torn apart.

"Ok?"

Qin Hao chuckled, seemingly finding this move quite interesting.

"In that case, it seems that my black and white world on the chessboard of heaven and earth can be further developed."

"One child, one world."

Qin Hao's black and white chess pieces materialize, each piece representing a world in itself.

These worlds, however, devoured the power of spatial strangulation.

In the end, however, these chess pieces were also annihilated.

But the opponent's attack was also rendered ineffective.

"This, how is this possible?" Death God Berlan could hardly believe his eyes.

This is a move he has kept secret for a long time; it's his trump card.

It's broken like that?
"As expected, the upper limit of this Heaven and Earth Chessboard is very high. This third level, one piece, one world—no, it should be said, this is the fourth level. It's amazing."

Despite his resentment, the Grim Reaper Berlan, who had tried every means possible, could not do anything to Qin Hao and could only end up in disappointment.

The final results are in.

Qin Hao won all four matches and took first place.

Berlan won three and lost one of his four matches, finishing in second place.

Luo Feng finished third with two wins and two losses.

Qianshui has one win and three losses, placing fourth.

Lancelot lost all four of his matches and could only finish fifth.

In reality, only the top three finishers in these final battles are meaningful.

Qin Hao and Death God Berlan have already secured the top two spots, without a doubt.

The others are just vying for third place.

Luo Feng was the strongest among the other two opponents and successfully won the last spot.

"Alright, the battle is over."

First place: Chen Yang, Master of Tiangong Pavilion;

Second place: Death God Berlan;

Third place: Luo Feng;

Fourth place, Qian Shui;

Fifth place, Lancelot.

It's a consensus that Qin Hao and Bo Lan entered the Primal Secret Realm.

From the very beginning of the Trial Tower, everyone had already made up their minds.

Even Death God Berlan was already identified before the battle of geniuses even began.

If Qin Hao hadn't suddenly appeared, Death God Berlan would have been considered a shoo-in for first place.

And Luo Feng?
Everyone has witnessed his arduous journey from the moment he entered the Trial Tower to where he is today.

It must be said that Luo Feng's strength may still have some aspects that are criticized.

But no one questioned his progress.

"Oh, and there's also the guidance from the Master of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion."

This immediately piqued the interest of many people.

At that moment, the Nine Swords Venerable also began to speak.

"very good……"
