Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

Day .

Gao Sheng had already changed the courtyard.

Standing on the middle-level balcony, one can observe the deep abyss of the atrium from above.

"Hmm? There's an expert here."

A mentalist shrouded in black robes, surrounded by electric snakes, is riding a flying weapon and is rushing straight up from below.

Those who dare to traverse through the atrium are all renowned masters in this planetary building.

Gao Sheng leaped out, unleashing a black domain with a whoosh.

"Razer! Let's fight!"

Razer stopped and slowly rose to the same level as Gao Sheng.

"Black Moon? Aren't you going to draw your sword?"

"There's no need."

"arrogant!"

Beneath the black robe, the lightning serpent had three eyes on its dark blue face. At this moment, the third eye lit up, and with a hum, a surge of ethereal mental power rushed towards Gao Sheng.

"No matter how powerful you are, if you fall for my illusion, you're dead."

The ethereal mental power is unstoppable, unavoidable, and requires no precision; it strikes Gao Sheng's soul the moment it touches his body.

In Gao Sheng's mind, the atrium of the building disappeared, leaving only the endless starry sky.

"snort!"

Gao Sheng's consciousness jolted, the black curtain shattered, and a rope-like telekinetic weapon, crackling with flashing electricity, loomed large before his eyes.

"burst!"

The black moon transformed into a black beam of light, piercing through the lightning snake's eye with a whoosh.

There was no need to dodge; the electric snake fell down along with the corpse of the thunder snake.

"As expected of the Wraith Clan, your illusion techniques are quite good, much better than Nan Si's back then. It's a pity that you can only comprehend the laws. The influence of the origin of the universe on the soul is not something you can shake." Gao Sheng shook his head.

"Wait for the next one."

There's no other way. This planetary building has a maze of corridors, and those who lack confidence simply don't approach the atrium. Searching for someone in those labyrinthine corridors is too inefficient.

In a cave on an ordinary mineral planet in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, the three-eyed youth opened his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief.

"How is that possible? He seems completely unaffected... Thankfully, my remaining points are definitely safe."

Over the next three days, Gao Sheng spotted seven renowned experts. Except for one who probably chose to flee to avoid battle because he didn't have enough points, the other six took the initiative to fight, which caused Gao Sheng's points to rise sharply!

On the twenty-third day, inside the luxurious hall of the spaceship that had gathered the ruling class of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"Great news!"

"Your Majesty, 93rd, a double-digit ranking!"

On the large screen in the hall, the results of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire in the preliminary rounds were displayed.

Black Dragon Mountain Empire's preliminary selection quota (temporary): 4

Rank 93 in World Zone 72: Gao Sheng Wei Di (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Ranked 119th in World Zone 66: Southern Silk Road (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Ranked 175th in World Zone 1: Luo Feng (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Rank 995, World Zone 18: Hong (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

"The Wei family has rendered a great service!" The emperor laughed loudly.

"Your Majesty, we have just discovered that Luo Feng and Hong are both external members of the Wei Emperor family."

Imperial intelligence could not find that Luo Feng was an external member of the Virtual Universe Company, but they could find external members of the Wei Di family.

The emperor, and everyone else, turned to look at Pero Wedi.

Pero bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Luo Feng and Hong are friends with Gao Sheng of my family. These external members are only nominal. Their strength is entirely due to their own cultivation. The Wei Di family dares not take credit for them."

The room erupted in uproar; indeed, only geniuses befriend other geniuses.

These days, Pero couldn't be happier. The previous so-called acquisitions of several companies are naturally no longer worth mentioning, and the emperor and various forces have made many promises.

Day 26, World Zone 66.

The street at night.

Thor was bathed in lightning, with wisps of electricity crackling on his longsword. "Hah!" He slashed straight down, his movements leaving afterimages.

With a loud crash, the martial artist opposite him staggered, and Thor followed up with another horizontal slash, sending his head flying.

"Hmm?" Thor sheathed his sword and looked towards the street corner.

"You are Lei Dao?" A handsome young man in a green robe with long green hair stood on a flying weapon and looked down at the Thunder God on the street below.

Thor's expression changed: "You are... Windwheel?"

Oh no, how did I end up with this pervert?

Suddenly, the handsome young man stopped looking at him and looked across the street, directly at Thor's back.

Thor turned his head and saw a blue-haired beauty on the other side of the street, also standing on a disc and suspended in mid-air.

"Shuiyue? Wants a fight?" Fenglun's expression was solemn.

"No, let's fight on the last day." A pleasant voice came from behind.

"Then don't get in my way of killing him." Feng Lun licked his lips.

But then the thunder blade retreated like lightning, heading straight for the water moon, passing right beneath it and disappearing into the distance.

Shuiyue's giggles echoed from the sky.

"Slow down, don't fall."

……

Day 30.

At Planet Tower, tens of thousands of people still traverse and fight within this vast maze.

"Not enough, I'm still short of points."

"Finally made it into the top 1000, must maintain this level..."

……

"Black Moon!!!!" A clear voice echoed in the courtyard.

"Wind Witch?" Gao Sheng looked at the white-armored female warrior above the courtyard. Even though she was wearing armor, her figure was still hot. However, Gao Sheng felt that she looked somewhat familiar.

Whoosh! It soared to the same altitude as the female warrior.

Both of them were stunned.

"Is it you?"

The woman in white armor had a beautiful face and deep eyes. She was the female warrior who had defeated Gao Sheng in the decisive battle space. After seeing Gao Sheng clearly, she actually smiled.

"I didn't expect it to be you. Draw your sword."

"As you wish."

"Clang!" Gao Sheng drew his sword and flew up, facing the Wind Witch two hundred meters away.

The female warrior was surrounded by wisps of blue energy that swirled around her two battle swords. "Hah!" she seemed to transform into a gust of wind and surged upwards.

Gao Sheng was enveloped in flames, and the Azure Flame Sword transformed into a streak of light.

Two phantom-like figures, one red and one green, intertwined, accompanied by a cacophony of tinkling sounds. Suddenly, the green figure was jolted away, and with a twist, the two switched positions and faced each other.

"Excellent swordsmanship!" Gao Sheng exclaimed.

The Wind Witch's understanding of the Wind Law was alright, but her swordsmanship far surpassed Gao Sheng's.

The Wind Witch's eyes gleamed with excitement. She pursed her lips and said, "Your sword is incredibly powerful, but your swordsmanship is rather mediocre. Let's try again!"

Around the courtyard, a large crowd of onlookers gathered, all of whom were highly skilled players who had already accumulated enough points.

Men and women, both young and old, are entangled together again.

The female warrior's swordsmanship, imbued with the laws of wind, is unparalleled in its speed. Her twin swords whirl endlessly in a circular motion, and her movements are unpredictable and elusive.

Gao Sheng's sword was naturally powerful; it was the Azure Flame Sword, which simultaneously activated the secret runes of the laws of fire and wood, making it far more powerful than the Wind Witch's twin blades.

However, each time her sword deflected the force, she herself was like a willow catkin in the wind, completely unaffected and unable to be hurt at all.

Whoosh! Gao Sheng swung his sword, then retreated like lightning. Clang, he sheathed his sword.

"I can't defeat you with a sword."

"You've improved so quickly, you've forced me to defend. We're even, I guess." The Sword Witch nodded.

"You should know that I am a mentalist," Gao Sheng sighed. He hadn't fully mastered the first level of the Seven Killings of Blazing Fire; he could only barely use it.

In terms of skill and swordsmanship? He can't compare to this girl at all.

What do you mean? Your crescent-shaped telekinetic weapon poses no threat to me, right? The female warrior looked puzzled.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh… Twenty-four short needles flew out from Gao Sheng’s right shoulder, their threads of law intertwining and instantly transforming into two small, transparent snakes whose bodies faintly emitted flames. The intense heat was terrifying, as if it could burn through a planet.

"Take this Fire Serpent Style move. I've never used it before in this world. Beautiful lady, you're the only one I'm willing to use this move on."

The Wind Witch's beautiful eyes narrowed; this Black Moon was simply monstrous!

Whoosh... Two fire snakes shot out, moving like living snakes. They seemed slow, but in an instant they were in front of the Wind Witch.

The Wind Witch hastily drew her twin swords to defend herself.

Boom! Boom! The Wind Witch retreated hastily, flames rising from both of her battle blades, and even her azure domain emitted a large amount of water vapor.

Swoosh! The little snake flicked its tail, made a tiny circle, and darted away again.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! One blow after another, the Wind Witch was in a terrible state, her twin swords scattered, her domain broken, and then, a small snake hissed and swept across the top of her head.

Boom! The beautiful head exploded in flames.

Suddenly, the entire courtyard erupted in chaos again.

"Absolutely insane!"

"I knew it, this Black Moon is a spiritualist."

……

After a while of discussion, the onlookers dispersed, each finding a corner to secure their points.
