Swallowing the Stars: Six Eyes

Chapter 56 The Ultimate Battle

The fifteenth day since the start of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom selection competition.

Given Gu Ce's killing speed, almost all the star-level geniuses in this city were slaughtered by him!

"Mo Hai, you...you release me, and after I get out, I'll give you a whole star system...how about it?"

The last survivor of the city lay trembling before Gu Ce, begging for mercy.

The name "Demon Sea" comes from the fact that Gu Ce's appearances are always accompanied by a pink ocean.

This pink ocean dragged them into an illusion, and before they knew it, their lives were taken away, like a sea of ​​demons.

"Looks like you're quite wealthy," Gu Ce said with a smile.

"Of course, I am a member of the royal family of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and I own several star systems!" The man saw Gu Ce talking to him and thought there was hope, so he quickly spoke up.

"What a pity." Gu Ce shook his head.

"What's a pity?" The man suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Unfortunately, you... are currently in an illusion."

The illusion shattered the next second!

The Frost Sword had already pierced the man's chest, taking his life.

At this point, most of the people in the city had been slaughtered by Gu Ce, and those who remained had either fled or were hiding very deep in the shadows.

Gu Ce began his journey to the next city.

hunting!

……

"You are lightning?" A young, burly man, over three meters tall, with bare feet and messy hair, grinned as he looked at the god of thunder before him, holding a short knife.

Thor's expression turned grave. "Are you a savage?"

"That's right!" the young, burly man laughed.

Thor stared intently at the burly man before him. His appearance was very similar to that of an Earthling, only much more robust and tall.

This savage, burly man was a terrifying presence in the 88th World District.

Nicknamed "Wild Man", ranked 3rd in the 88th World Region!

Of course, Thor is currently ranked 808th.

Having entered the sixth realm, and with the guidance of Lord Mist and the inheritance of Lord Carlo, Thor's strength is several times greater than in the original story!

"Unleash your full power," the savage said, looking at Thor.

"Hmph!" Thor snorted coldly.

Drawing his battle sword, Thor's eyes flashed with lightning, and electric snakes swirled around him. His entire body blurred, as if creating a hazy illusion, and he directly approached the savage.

"Bang!"

Thor felt a numbness in his hand and quickly stepped back, looking at the savage with a serious expression.

"Not bad," the savage chuckled, sheathing his short sword and preparing to say something.

"Um?"

The savage was stunned. The thunder god simply ignored him and fled!

……

The 28th day of the preliminary selection.

Gu Ce stood atop a tall tower, below which stood more than a dozen people wielding various weapons.

"Demon Sea, you have committed countless evils, you deserve to die!" one of the men wielding a scimitar shouted.

"Demon Sea, your illusions are useless against us. I advise you to surrender as soon as possible!" said another girl carrying two swords.

Standing on the high ground, Gu Ce looked down at the group of people below.

Too much killing certainly breeds resentment.

Gu Ce sighed.

The dozen or so people below are all among the top twenty strongest individuals in this region. Driven by a certain sense of 'justice,' they have come together to besiege Gu Ce!

Among these dozen or so people, there were one or two geniuses who had crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws, and because of this, they were arrogant and did not take Gu Ce seriously.

A magician whose illusions have lost their effectiveness still has the power to kill?

Under normal circumstances, their thinking is certainly not wrong.

pity--

"I don't think I've ever said that I'm an illusionist, have I?" Gu Ce said with a smile.

The next moment!

More than ten avatars appeared beside the crowd below, and Gu Ce, wielding the Frost Sword, instantly killed them all!

Gu Ce glanced at the points and nodded.

"Now, ranking first shouldn't be a problem."

……

Apart from Gu Ce and Thor.

Hong and Luo Feng.

Although the two did not exert their strength in the early stages, they still managed to break into the top 1001 in the later stages!

Hong survived to the end thanks to his powerful domain and a stroke of good luck.

Luo Feng, in particular, repeatedly reached the top spot.

Ultimately, the four players' overall rankings are as follows:

Gu Ce, ranked 1st.

Thor, number 880.

Hong, ranked 13th.

Luo Feng, second place.

Luo Feng crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws of space ten days after the start of the Genius Battle.

However, they were just a little unlucky at the end.

At the last moment, the original second-ranked player eliminated the third-ranked player, causing Luo Feng to lose his first-ranked position.

But no matter what.

The results of these four people are absolutely terrifying!

The small Black Dragon Mountain Empire has produced four geniuses who have entered the top 1,000 in the world region at once, causing a sensation throughout the entire empire!

Even within the Qianwu Universe, countless people are discussing the names Gu Ce and Luo Feng.

……

Virtual universe, inside the Gu family manor.

The four of them saw off the special envoy from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

"The emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire actually wants to reward Gu Ce with a star system?" Thor asked with some surprise.

The Milky Way is now under Gu Ce's control!

As for the three of them, they also received different rewards.

The envoy promised that if they could enter the top 1,000 of the Cosmic Kingdom, they would also be able to obtain a star system.

"You guys should focus on the upcoming arena matches," Gu Ce said, shaking his head helplessly.

He didn't really want the Milky Way as his territory, but the envoy forced it upon him.

"Don't worry, I'm pretty confident about the arena match," Thor said confidently.

If he hadn't encountered the savages on the last day after that escape, his ranking would have risen even higher.

"Those who can enter the top 1,000 in the Universe Kingdom are basically all geniuses at the ninth level of the Domain, or those who have crossed the threshold of the Origin Law. Don't be careless," Gu Ce reminded.

"Hmm." None of them took it lightly; they were just saying it casually.

"come on!"

……

July 17th, 2066, is the day the arena battle begins, according to Chinese time.

The arena battles are divided into 1,000 groups! 200 groups will be held every day.

Hong and Lei Shen were both in the top 200, while Luo Feng was in group 382.

The virtual universe has specially created a dimensional space with islands, and each island has a fighting arena.

The melee will take place here.

……

Hong had already crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws of light before the Genius Battle began.

After joining the Three Axe Mountain organization, he and Thor gained Ming Yu's favor and were promoted to elites.

Therefore, Hong came into the sight of Luo, the master of the Time Realm.

Luo admired Hong and had given him private guidance many times, wanting to take him as his apprentice.

When he learned that Hong's goal was the Peak Genius Battle, he should have given up on training him, but he still gave Hong guidance on many issues related to the fundamental laws of light, hoping that Hong could achieve a higher ranking!

Although the two were not officially master and disciple, they were in fact master and disciple.

"Hong, keep it up!"

Watching the scene on the arena, Luo, the Lord of Time, silently cheered for Hong.

……

Besides Gu Ce, only four people from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire have entered the arena stage this time.

The four-person duel attracted most of the people in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire to watch.

Nabini's match started the earliest, and he was also the first to be eliminated.

Thor was next, barely making it through the melee phase and advancing to the next 1v1 arena battle!

Hong seemed quite at ease in the melee of the ring.

As for Luo Feng? There's absolutely no need to worry about him.

He committed a one-sided massacre!

……

After the melee in the arena ended, 10,000 contestants remained.

These 10,000 participants will engage in a final battle in the arena.

Each player is paired up and will fight four times!

If you win all four matches, you can enter the top 1,000 in the Universe Kingdom!

In the arena final battle, there is one chance for a revival battle; if you fail, you can try again in the revival match.

There are 625 spots in the winners' bracket and 275 spots in the losers' bracket.

Among them, the "revival match" of the losers' bracket, a round-robin tournament, will last for a full three years.

"You'd better not fall into the loser's bracket. During the rematch, you'll hardly have the energy to improve yourselves," Gu Ce said. "In the arena battles, it's best not to hold back either, and not give your enemies any opportunities."

A cycle of battles to hone combat experience?

In Gu Ce's view, that was unnecessary.

"Yes!" The three looked at each other and nodded in unison.

……

The final battle in the arena.

Thor has extremely bad luck.

In the first match, he encountered an opponent who had crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws and was directly eliminated.

Hong was lucky and made it to the fourth match without any obstacles. At the last moment, he made a breakthrough in his domain, reaching the ninth level of the domain realm. He successfully defeated his opponent and advanced to the final battle!

As for Luo Feng, in his fourth match this time, he also encountered Yeren Jiejun.

However, this time, Jie Jun was careless and did not use his full strength at the beginning, so Luo Feng unleashed his ultimate power right away and killed him instantly!

Fortunately, he had already planned to enter the Cycle of Reincarnation for training.

The three-year cycle of battles is a time for these geniuses to become stronger!

It's hard to say whether Thor was just unlucky or what.

In the cycle of reincarnation, he encountered Jie Jun again and was eliminated by him once more.

Thus, he became the first of the four Earthlings to be eliminated.

No sooner had he left the arena than Thor received invitations from various powerful forces, including the Qianwu Secret Realm and other major powers.

Thor hasn't agreed yet; he wants to wait until the Genius Battle is over before making a decision.

……

"The tournament is over!"

"Next up is the ultimate showdown."
