Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 33 Breakthrough
By this time, most of the geniuses who had challenged the Trial Tower had emerged.

Only some of the sixth-ranked players spent the early stages of the season delaying their progress to strengthen their abilities in order to climb to a higher ranking.

Including Ling Xuan and Cao Benqi, who are still continuing their challenges, there are only five people in total.

"This Yan Shen Cao Benqi, although a bit arrogant, is indeed a force to be reckoned with." In the crowd, a young man in a black robe nodded slightly, his eyes full of admiration. "He has fought his way through all the trials and tribulations to reach the seventh level of the seventh trial tower. Perhaps he can really succeed in passing it."

On the other hand, many of them failed to even set foot on the sixth trial tower, and most of them were defeated after only reaching the third trial tower. Compared with Cao Benqi, the gap was huge.

Among this group, Feng Lishuang and Leng Yanqiu were the most outstanding, but even so, they only made it to the first level of the sixth trial tower before being ruthlessly eliminated.

"Li Shuang, Yan Qiu, who do you think has a better chance of reaching the top, Ling Xuan or Cao Benqi?" Ren Yaoli, being lively, was the first to ask.

The three women were of similar talent and strength, and since they were all women, they thought that after the Genius Battle they would go to the Divine Origin Secret Realm, which was second only to the Giant Axe Secret Realm, so they started to get to know each other early on and became quite familiar with one another.

"Judging from the current progress, Yan Shen is the fastest, but Yan Mo Ling Xuan is not weak either, so it's really hard to tell who is better." Feng Li Shuang frowned slightly and slowly shook her head.

"Hmph, they're both equally arrogant. But compared to Cao Benqi, who's both ugly and cocky, I still think Ling Xuan is better." Leng Yanqiu made no attempt to hide her admiration for Ling Xuan.

"Pfft~" The girl's candid words made the people around her burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere instantly relaxed a little.

And on the seventh floor of the Trial Tower.

"kill!"

Ling Xuan, no longer holding back, unleashed his full power.

With the Great Void Technique, his figure appeared and disappeared among the Zerg army like a ghost. Each time he appeared, his three-pointed double-edged sword would bring a sharp blade light. Wherever it passed, Zerg warriors were cut in two, and green insect blood splattered and fell to the ground, instantly corroding deep pits.

Upon seeing this, the Zerg Queen roared in anger, her six butterfly wings flapping wildly behind her, sending soul shocks like arrows toward Ling Xuan.

Ling Xuan remained calm and composed. He activated the power of the first level of the Immortal Platform to its fullest extent, making the Immortal Platform clear and bright. Under the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao, a golden light blocked all the soul impacts.

Immediately afterwards, he flashed and appeared behind a huge blood mantis. With a flash of his blade, the blood mantis's head flew high into the air.

"Burning Wave Slash - Ninefold Waves!" Ling Xuan shouted, and flames blazed on his three-pointed double-edged sword. A surging crimson wave, carrying boundless heat and power, swept towards the Zerg army.

Wherever the waves passed, the Zerg warriors were instantly swallowed up, turning into ashes and dissipating into the air.

In the blink of an eye, a vacuum zone hundreds of meters wide appeared in the Zerg camp.

The Zerg Queen was utterly enraged. She unleashed her full power, and all the surviving Blue Mantis and Blood Mantis went berserk.

The overwhelming Zerg army is finally about to unleash its true power.

"Great Void Technique." The swarm of insects attacked violently, playing right into Ling Xuan's hands.

The next second, Ling Xuan's figure seemed to plunge into water, transforming into a spatial ripple and merging into the void.

Upon seeing this, the Zerg Queen let out a shrill roar. She remembered how this human had suddenly appeared beside her. Now that her Zerg army was not around, she was very likely to be ambushed by Ling Xuan.

"Brush~"

With the speed of Lingxuan's Immortal Platform Realm, he merged into the void and instantly traversed a distance of tens of kilometers to arrive beside the Zerg Queen. Without the protection of Zerg warriors, the Zerg Queen was extremely vulnerable. The Vulcan Absolute Domain Blade flashed a cold and beautiful blade light and instantly decapitated the Zerg Queen's beautiful head.

Ling Xuan successfully passed the seventh level of the seventh trial tower, thus clearing all the trial towers.

In a vast, desolate world, corpses are scattered everywhere on the endless land. Some corpses are as large as planets, while others are smaller than humans. Yet, each corpse exudes a terrifying aura that sends chills down one's spine.

Not far away stood a burly man about three meters tall, wearing an incredibly complex and ancient dark red battle armor and battle boots, with a scaled tail protruding from his battle skirt.

"It actually passed! It seems that humanity has given birth to another peerless genius." The Chaos City Lord looked at the message sent to him by the virtual universe and opened Ling Xuan's battle video.

"What a marvelous secret technique! This footwork allows a genius at the stellar level to merge with the void and perform a teleportation-like movement. The level of skill is far beyond my own. It seems he has encountered something else."

Then came the battle after Ling Xuan unleashed his full power.

"It seems to be some special inheritance from before the Great Cataclysm; he's a promising talent." The Chaos City Lord sighed, and with a thought, all of Ling Xuan's information appeared before him. "He's actually a descendant of Zhulong; it seems I have no hope." In the end, the Chaos City Lord shook his head helplessly and turned off Ling Xuan's video.

A while later, another email with a special mark arrived, and the Chaos City Lord opened it.

"This year, two super geniuses have actually emerged who can pass the Trial Tower. I need to keep a close eye on these kids."

Rewind a few minutes, and in Giant Axe Square, everyone was looking at the leaderboard with undisguised astonishment.

NO.1 Ling Xuan (Qianwu Universe Kingdom), Points: 77777770000
NO.2 Cao Benqi (Yan Shen Universe Kingdom), Points: 67777770000
"The Flame Demon overtook the Flame God and became the first to pass all the trial towers."

"What? How is this possible?" The geniuses of the Yan Shen Universe Kingdom found it hard to believe. Yan Shen had clearly been in the lead all along, and at its fastest, it had even been one level ahead of the opponent.

Unexpectedly, a stunning reversal occurred just as the final battle was about to be decided.

Meanwhile, in the seventh level, Cao Benqi also noticed that his score had dropped from first to second place, and he was filled with shock and anger.

He was killing these Zerg warriors very quickly, and the Zerg Queen could not replenish her strength as fast as he could. However, killing Zerg warriors did not earn points, and only the Zerg Queen counted as a point on the entire seventh floor.

Even if he kept cutting down Zerg warriors until next year, it wouldn't make a difference. Under the Zerg Queen's constant soul attacks, he had no choice but to do his best to guard his mind and defend himself.

"Damn it, if this were real life, these bugs wouldn't be able to stop me!" Cao Benqi felt that this assessment was extremely unfair.

In this battle of geniuses, everyone's physical attributes are exactly the same as those of a normal ninth-tier stellar level in the virtual universe.

In reality, he is a genius martial artist who has evolved to six times the genetic potential, and his basic strength is six times that of a human.

There are also many clan treasures available for use.

The rules of this talent competition actually limited his performance.

"Damn bugs, die!" Enraged, Cao Benqi unleashed his full power.

These Zerg warriors became the targets of his rage, and he slashed repeatedly with his halberd.

After a fierce battle, he finally found an opportunity to kill the Zerg Queen, who was being protected by the Zerg warriors.

NO.1 Ling Xuan (Qianwu Universe Kingdom), Points: 777,777,0000
NO.2 Cao Benqi (Yan Shen Universe Kingdom), Points: 777, 7777, 0000
NO.3 Leng Yanqiu (Longyun Universe Kingdom), Points: 18,8297,0000
NO.4 Feng Lishuang (Tianfeng Universe Kingdom), Points: 15,4578, 5544
……

NO.96 Ren Yaoli (Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom), Points: 3,6542,6524
"Third brother is number one!" Ling Xue jumped up excitedly. "Big brother, did you see that? Third brother got first place!"

"Yes, the third brother is number one! The number one genius in the entire universe." Ling Yue's eyes were also filled with tears of excitement.

I never imagined my younger brother could fly so high. You know, even on Manlong Star, their family is just an ordinary family.

Both parents are ordinary star-level powerhouses.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xuan managed to take first place in the overall ranking of human geniuses in the entire universe and even broke through the Trial Tower.

Such a talent was something they never dared to dream of, yet their third brother had actually accomplished it.

"Calm down, calm down, this is just the Trial Tower, there are still competitions to come." Ling's father said calmly, but he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth. If he had a tail behind him, it would have been wagging in the sky by now.

"Hahaha~" the temple envoy laughed, "Even just ranking in the Trial Tower is already excellent, you can celebrate without worry."

After speaking, the temple messenger withdrew from the virtual universe on his own.

"If I had known this kid was this good, I would have put more pressure on him. He's been too easy on him." The temple envoy paced excitedly back and forth inside the temple.

After walking for a while, they still felt that the temple space was too cramped, so they left the temple and flew into the cosmos.

In the virtual universe, he is an elder and cannot be as arrogant as the younger generation.
