Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 51 The Most Valuable Genius Battle in History
The second level of the seventh trial tower is a vast, boundless hilly terrain.

The moment Yu Duan's figure appeared on this floor, countless hills stirred.

As the rocks crumbled, one after another, rock-scaled monsters revived, roaring as they charged toward Yu Duan.

"Boom!"

Countless earth domains swept out, forming a special formation, joining forces to unleash a secret technique based on the laws of earth!

In an instant, within the area covered by the layers of domains, the gravity increased many times over!
The opponents on the first two levels of the Trial Tower have the same basic stats, including their mastery of laws.

However, the first level consists of ferocious beasts that lack intelligence and the ability to think, possessing only basic instincts!
The second level consists of demonic beasts that can use secret techniques and cooperate with each other, greatly increasing the difficulty of clearing the level.

The first level of the Trial Tower is more difficult than the first level of the Sky Bridge.

The second level of the Trial Tower is more difficult than the second level of the Sky Bridge, but less difficult than the third level.

And so on, until the fifth floor of the seventh trial tower, where the difficulty skyrockets, comparable to the sixth floor of the Bridge to Heaven—a major hurdle.

As for the final level of the seventh trial tower, it is almost impossible to pass. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this level is a stellar-level primordial Tongtian Mountain.

"Let me see my limits!"

With a swing of his sword, Yu Duan instantly pushed his movement technique to its limit, transforming himself into a dreamlike stream of light, scattering dazzling, colorful light rain wherever he passed.

The movement techniques in "Time Flies" consist of four major realms and twelve levels.

The first major realm, the three levels of Time Flowing Shadow, requires a level of mastery of the laws that is basically equivalent to the second, third, and fourth levels of the Time Sword.

The required understanding of laws for the second major realm is roughly equivalent to the fifth to eighth level of the Time Sword Technique. As for the third major realm, the entry level requires the understanding of laws at the Marquis level.

Yu Duan today can only be considered to be at the second level of Time Flowing Shadow.

"Ow!"

The giant rock crocodile roared and crashed down like a small mountain.

Swish!
Black and white sword light flashed, and a huge crocodile was instantly split in two from the middle of its body.

At this moment, Yu Duan's domain, laws, movement techniques, and secret methods were perfectly combined, reaching their ultimate potential.

However, even with his best efforts, Yu Duan was still unable to overcome the challenge of the second level of the seventh trial tower.

In the end, Yu Duan killed 2468 of the tens of thousands of powerful demonic crocodiles.

……

central square.

A streak of light flashed, and Yu Duan's figure appeared.

However, not everyone's eyes were on Yu Duan; most people's attention was still focused on the huge light screen.

At this moment, thousands of phantoms clad in crimson armor crisscrossed within the light screen, slaughtering the opponents on the second level of the seventh trial tower at a visible speed.

"It's even stronger than I imagined."

Yu Duan watched the young man on the screen, who was slaughtering people at will and laughing heartily. He was curious about what kind of circumstances had created such a genius.

"I wonder how long you can stay ahead of me."

Yu Duan was well aware of the value of his book on cause and effect.

Its greatest value lies in the absence of bottlenecks!

Immortality, Venerable One, True God... and even higher realms are all just a matter of time for Duan.

Time—for the strong in this world, it is the least valuable thing.

Therefore, no matter how powerful Kodi's experiences or cheat codes are, they can't possibly be more incredible than his own.

"Yu Duan, over here!!!"

In the Northern Miasma Universe Kingdom's ranks, Chili jumped and shouted, the scale of her trembling was quite astonishing!

Beside Chili, An Yao, Aarons, Peng Nuolai, and others waved to Yu Duan.

Yu Duan smiled and quickly walked to the group's side.

"Senior Brother Yu Duan!"

"Your Highness Yu Duan!"

"..."

Many geniuses from the Northern Miasma Universe Kingdom gathered around.

No matter how strong Kodi is, he has no connection with them.

On the contrary, Yu Duan is indeed their classmate. In the future, when they brag and make a big fuss in the universe, they will have to look up to me because I am a classmate of Yu Duan.

If Yu Duan becomes a super entity in the future, they will benefit even more from it.

They don't even need to say anything; as long as others find out that he and Yu Duan were classmates in the same cohort, they will be more cautious in their actions.

"How are your grades?" Yu Duan asked his friends, including An Yao and Chi Li.

Aarons didn't even need to ask; it was right under his own name, and he knew it perfectly well.

Chili sighed, "I didn't even make it into the top 5. Illusionists are really at a disadvantage."

An Yao scratched his head: "I barely made it into the top 1. If I were a mentalist, I might have a chance to get into the top 7300."

Everyone shared their own experiences of silence, which were roughly the same as Yu Duan's prediction.

Aarons came in 3rd place, and Pennolay came in 17th place.

Delis ranked 87th. Considering the disadvantages faced by martial artists in the Trial Tower, his one-on-one strength should place him among the top 50 in the entire universe, securing his place in the Heavenly Secret Realm. Teng De, who wields the Divine Rift Weapon, narrowly missed making it into the top 1000 and could participate in the competition for the remaining spots, but his chances are slim.

Apart from those four, no one from the Northern Holy Land made it into the top 7300.

On the contrary, among the branches of the Northern Ming Universe Kingdom, one of the five top powers, both the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena have geniuses who have broken into the top 7300, with two of them from the Giant Axe Arena branch.

While the group was talking, Koti, whose image was on the light screen, successfully entered the third floor of the seventh trial tower.

The difficulty of the third level increased dramatically, and Koti was eliminated after only killing about twenty opponents.

Thus, the list of the lowest scores in the entire universe is now finalized.

NO.1, Kodi (Yuanchen Universe Kingdom), Points: 279 billion...

NO.2, Yu Duan (Northern Miasma Universe Kingdom), Points: 202 billion zero...

NO.3, Aarons (Northern Miasma Universe), Points: 77 billion zero...

Of the top ten, apart from Kodi and Yuduan, only the ninth-ranked person is a martial artist, a prodigy from the Yanpolo tribe who has comprehended the laws of fire and space.

Of the top 100, nearly 80 are mentalists. This demonstrates that mentalists have a significant advantage in venturing into the trial space.

hum!
As if time and space were rippled, the figure of the Illusionary King appeared out of thin air in front of everyone: "Little guys, gather together, let's all go to the first floor of the building!"

At this moment, the leaders of the various cosmic nations also led their numerous geniuses back to their respective buildings.

……

Lobby on the first floor of Building 0087.

Thousands of geniuses from the Northern Miasma Universe Kingdom lined up in a square formation, awaiting the address from King Qinghuan at the front of them.

"You did very well this time."

King Qinghuan spoke gently, smiling as he looked at the many geniuses: "Among them, Yu Duan, Aarons, Peng Nuolai, and Delis have directly obtained core positions in the Virtual Universe Company."

"In addition to the four people mentioned above, there are three more qualified individuals who will continue to compete for the remaining 900 spots."

"As for the rest of you, your journey in the battle of geniuses ends here."

"You can leave the virtual universe directly, or wait for the virtual universe system to teleport you back to your respective continents."

After announcing the results of this genius battle, King Qinghuan waved his hand and disappeared with Yu Duan, Aarons, and the other four geniuses who had directly advanced.

On the top floor of Building 0087, there is a spacious yet rustic room.

With a flash of light, King Qinghuan appeared here with Yu Duan and the others.

“Child, Koti’s understanding of the laws is much higher than yours. Just do your best tomorrow.”

King Qinghuan looked at his young disciple without putting any pressure on him.

Yu Duan nodded helplessly. The cost of the third level of the Book of Cause and Effect required a hundred years of hard work, and less than ten years had just passed.

Moreover, over the past decade, I have focused on studying the essence of the laws of time.

"I understand, teacher. I will do my best."

King Qinghuan nodded, then looked at Aarons: "Child, you're lucky. This time, the one hosting the Genius Battle is Venerable Yucheng, who is an old friend of mine."

"Therefore, this time the Genius Battle has given out two extra spots for the Primal Secret Realm. That means three people will be able to join the Primal Secret Realm."

Generally speaking, in previous Genius Battles, if a prodigy with extraordinary talent appears, Virtual Universe Company and Giant Axe Arena will provide an extra spot.

However, this year's Genius Battle has produced two freakish prodigies, Yu Duan and Ke Di.

It should be noted that King Qinghuan, as a contemporary of the ruler of the universe, personally witnessed the establishment of the Genius Battle system.

To this day, this is the first time that two geniuses of this caliber have appeared in the same Genius Battle.

In the long course of history, geniuses of Yu Duan and Ke Di's caliber appear on average every hundred billion years.

Yes, in the eyes of the King of Illusions, Yu Duan's potential is no less than that of Kodi, because Yu Duan possesses a will strength comparable to that of an immortal god at the stellar level.

But this is the first time that two geniuses of this caliber have come together.

It can be said to be the most prestigious tournament in history, bar none.

"I understand, sir. Rest assured, if I cannot secure a spot in the third Primal Realm, I will not join the Virtual Universe Company!!!"

Aarons' face flushed red, and he looked excited. He immediately made a pledge.

He had already given up hope.

Unexpectedly, King Qinghuan had a connection with the legendary Cosmic Venerable, so he granted an extra spot for the third Primal Secret Realm.

There are only three permanent spots available for the Primal Secret Realm, which is at the universe level.

Even with Venerable Jade City's authority, it was impossible to add one more permanent resident spot to the Primal Secret Realm at the Universe level.

However, it's not a problem if the Genius Battle only provides a temporary Primal Secret Realm Universe-level spot.

Such trivial matters wouldn't bother a great being like the Lord of the Universe. The person approving the quotas would at most be a Venerable Universe, and they would still do Venerable Jade City a favor.

"That's not necessary, just give it your all."

King Qinghuan smiled and nodded, then looked at Peng Nuolai and Delis: "You two little ones are basically confirmed to be included in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm. Work hard and don't let your father and teacher down."

"Yes, my lord!"

Peng Nuolai and the other person immediately stood at attention and bowed to King Qinghuan.

King Qinghuan immediately waved his hand: "Go ahead, relax with your peers, adjust your state, and unleash your full strength in tomorrow's duel."
