Marvel: The other side of the double-passing door is Devouring the Stars

Chapter 249 Hong wins and advances to the top ten.
The reason why Luo Feng was immune to his illusions in the original work was mainly because he cultivated the Void Tower from the Meteorite Star inheritance.

Nowadays, Rowan has also cultivated the Void Tower.

Unfortunately, Hong and Lei Shen did not have the ability to cultivate, simply because neither of them were mentalists. The Void Tower required one to become a mentalist to cultivate.

Rowan was somewhat worried, as he didn't yet know whether Hong could withstand the mental attacks of the Illusion Demon Galesi.

At this moment, Galesi, who had been watching the battle for a long time, was finally about to make his move. His close combat skills were also quite impressive. He did not rely too much on his weaknesses. A true genius is one who is good at both offense and defense.

He did just that, which is why he made it into the top ten.

Galesi, wielding twin swords, slaughtered his way through the crowd. Every opponent he encountered was struck by Galesi's illusions after only a few exchanges.

Then, while she was pregnant, she was instantly killed by Galenci with a single strike.

The spectators around the scene gasped in astonishment as they watched Galesi effortlessly kill his opponent like a god of death.

Meanwhile, in the virtual universe, in an extremely elegant room, most of the cosmic venerables reside.

These Cosmic Venerables represent 10018 Cosmic Nations, but not all of them are Cosmic Venerables; many of them are Immortal-level beings who serve as rulers of Cosmic Nations.

After all, becoming a cosmic master is extremely difficult.

"I didn't expect this Galesi to be so good. He's skilled in illusion magic and can appear and disappear unpredictably. If you're not careful, you'll be pulled into an illusion. In a duel between experts, even a fraction of a second of being trapped in an illusion can decide the outcome."

"A cosmic venerable being, his body radiating intense heat, said."

Several cosmic venerables around them also became very interested in the future. Among the mentalists, the vast majority chose to become martial arts mentalists, that is, mentalists who use weapons for ranged attacks.

However, Galesi only received an "excellent" rating, which did not attract much attention from the other universes present.

Because once you advance to the level of Realm Lord or Immortal, most people will cultivate a powerful secret technique to defend against soul attacks.

The effect of Galesi's illusions will be greatly reduced unless one comprehends a more powerful illusion.

Beyond illusion techniques, one also needs to comprehend various laws and combine them with attacks. Relying solely on illusion techniques will not lead to significant achievements.

And just as they were unaware, as the battlefield contracted, the death toll rose again.

In the end, only fourteen people remained, meaning that if four more people were killed, the remaining people could advance to the next level.

Those who remained were undoubtedly exceptional individuals, each possessing terrifying strength and extraordinary combat power.

The audience seats outside.

The shouts were deafening, as everyone cheered and encouraged their country's geniuses.

They were making a huge show of force, while at the same time, the audiences from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, the Qianwu Kingdom, and the Universe Kingdom were also fighting desperately.

They cheered for Hong with all their might, and it's truly remarkable that they've managed to persevere until now.

Meanwhile, in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, on a vast planetary garden.

This is a beautiful garden created from a giant planet, surrounded by exotic creatures collected from all over the universe.

Each monster is gentle and cute, and together with this fairyland-like environment, it is simply indescribably beautiful.

On this island, the King of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom sat with several ministers, and the Emperor of Black Dragon Mountain was also among them.

"Black Dragon, your Black Dragon Mountain Empire really got lucky this time, to have such a genius appear."

Beside the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor stood an immortal with a burly appearance and rock-patterned skin, exuding a cool breeze and a warm tide.

Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor raised his eyebrows and laughed triumphantly: "Hmph, this time your Jiahe Empire couldn't even squeeze into the top 100,000. It seems you are suffering from a talent shortage. This time, our Black Dragon Mountain Empire has a full four people who made it into the top 100,000. It's understandable that you are envious and jealous."

The Black Dragon Mountain Emperor can finally hold his head high! In the past, it had been a very long time since a genius from the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor had broken into the top 100,000.

Even reaching 10,000 is difficult.

The Black Dragon Mountain Emperor had always been ridiculed by the rulers of other star regions of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, which made him extremely resentful. Among the many immortal-level powerhouses in the more than 13,000 star regions, the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor was considered to be of the lower-middle rank.

To become the ruler of a star field, one must at least reach the level of a military lord-level immortal.

His strength was only slightly greater than that of the Immortal who had just spoken to him, but he was only at the initial level of a King.

In the past, when he was mocked like this, he could only keep his anger to himself, but now he finally has the confidence to confront the other party.

Indeed, in this virtual universe genius peak battle, four geniuses from Black Dragon Mountain squeezed into the top 100,000.

This was an outcome he had never expected.

He thought Luo Wen was amazing enough, but he never expected that Luo Wen's older brother Hong was also quite strong.

Having fought this far in the first arena battle, his strength is enough to squeeze into the top 10,000.

It remains to be seen whether he can make it into the top ten out of the remaining fourteen.

He is currently feeling very anxious.

The newly appointed Immortal King was furious after being rebuked by the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor. Just as he was about to say something, a vast and powerful pressure descended upon him.

The ruler of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, seated in the main seat, exuded a vast aura that instilled fear in everyone.

However, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was the only one not affected by this terrifying pressure.

The Black Dragon Mountain Emperor was secretly alarmed.

After withdrawing his oppressive aura, the ruler of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom said, "This time, the star field where the Black Dragon is located has won a resounding victory for our Qianwu Universe Kingdom. Anyone who dares to utter a word against it will be severely punished."

This biased remark secretly alarmed many of the immortals present.

In the past, regardless of the outcome of the battles between geniuses, the ruler of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom would usually not say much, even if his immortal subordinates fought amongst themselves. This time, however, he actually showed such favoritism towards an individual, which they found unbelievable.

But they didn't dare ask too many questions, harboring some doubts about what exactly was going on with the Black Dragon Mountain Empire this time.

While they were pondering.

On the arena of the battle of geniuses, the final battle is drawing to a close.

Another half minute passed, and only twelve people remained on the scene.

The center of the battlefield is now less than half its original width and is gradually shrinking.

Now everyone is bloodthirsty.

To compete for these ten spots, they pulled out all the stops, revealing all their hidden trump cards.

The battle became so intense that the spectators on the periphery roared and cheered, reaching almost their peak.

On the battlefield.

Holding a silver spear, Hong unleashed his seven-layered domain. Within this domain of light, his speed was as swift as a whirlwind, flashing across the battlefield. He was currently battling two psychic masters, both of whom were controlling a multitude of throwing knives, directly encircling and attacking Hong.

Faced with two different forms of mental pressure weapons, Hong Si remained calm and continued to fight steadily. Her silver spear danced in her hand, forming a continuous, swift black and red domain barrier.

No matter how powerful the opponent's mental weapon was, Hong easily blocked it.

Seeing that they couldn't break through Hong's defenses, the two mental lawyers immediately turned their attention to the other person.

Just as the two were leaving, Hong Gang tried to put away his gun, but the next second a sharp, unpleasant sound rang out behind him.

“Interesting… Your strength is quite good, and you are worth killing. What I like to play with the most is driving geniuses like you out of the arena.”

The Phantom Demon Galesi's eyes flickered with an unusual light, and his bloodlust turned his eyes crimson.

Hong's eyes narrowed slightly as he saw Galesi approach him. He had already witnessed the man's prowess before, seeing the 120,000 that had instantly appeared.

In fact, during the period after the preliminary rounds, Babata used money to purchase the most popular positions of the contestants in the current Virtual Universe Peak Genius Battle, as well as information and data.

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. With just a small price to pay, they were able to gather more detailed information about these people.

For example, besides participating in the battle of geniuses, what kind of performance have these people shown on the periphery, which opponents have they challenged, and what achievements have they made?

After all, once someone becomes a popular contestant, someone will naturally see a business opportunity and gather information about them, then plan and sell it in a unified manner.

On the battlefield, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. Some geniuses buy information about these people so that they can have a clear understanding of the situation when they encounter them in a match, and make preparations and plans in advance.

Hong, Thor, and Luo Feng all received the intelligence provided by Babata, but Luo Wen alone said he didn't need it.

The three of them then carefully studied the twenty most popular players.

Among them are Death God Berlan, Illusion Demon Galesi, Savage Rong Jun, Manka Alien Uka... Qian Shui, and other top geniuses.

Hong also learned about Galesi's main abilities and felt that he was in a very difficult situation.

He lacked spiritual charisma, and therefore could not cultivate the Void Tower inherited from Meteorite Star.

He wasn't sure if he could withstand ordinary mental shocks or illusions.

"Die!"

A cruel smile appeared on the face of the Phantom Demon Galesi, and suddenly a burst of mental energy was released from his eyes.

In an instant, I was pulled into an illusion, completely unprepared.

Hong found himself in a chaotic space, surrounded by terrifying monsters. Upon closer inspection, he realized that this was the early stage of the Great Nirvana on Earth.
At that time, he was just an assassin. His family and friends had all died tragically in the mouths of monsters. Only he had reached the level of a beginner warrior.

With the help of assassins, he fought monsters, but he also encountered many extremely dangerous situations and almost died.

These memories are still vivid in his mind, and they have become a shadow in his heart for a period of time. Now, the illusion has stirred up memories that had long been hidden in his heart.

A terrifying monster lunged at him, baring its teeth.

It seemed as if it could tear Red to shreds in an instant, but Red stood still, completely unmoved, facing the onslaught of this colossal monster.

"I have already died. Fear is my driving force. How could you use such a clumsy method? Die!"

Hong thought he would encounter some terrifying illusion, but it turned out to be just a fleeting memory he had just experienced, and he felt no fear at all.

At this moment, the Ninefold Illusionary Demon Tower within Hong's soul began to operate, and in an instant, his soul was like a sharp blade, slicing all the illusions into pieces.

In an instant, the illusion shattered.

The entire process lasted less than 0.01 seconds.

Just as the illusion dissipated, they happened to see Galesi turn and leave.

Galesi thought that Hong, like his other opponents, would be consumed by the illusion he created and eventually explode and die.

Just as he was about to find his next opponent, he suddenly felt his illusion shattered, leaving him utterly astonished.

Turning his head, Hong revealed a cold smile to him and slowly said, "You... are too weak!"

His words immediately made Galec realize that something was very wrong.

"Impossible! How did you break my illusion so easily!"

This was the first time Galesi had ever seen someone so easily break through his illusion, which was known to be incredibly effective even against cosmic-level opponents.

But now it was easily broken by the opponent, and he immediately launched another illusion attack. The illusion descended into Hong's brain and entered her soul, but it shattered again the next second.

"Ninefold Illusionary Tower, First Form: Shadowy Infiltration!"

Hong raised his spear, which spun around, seemingly drawing in the surrounding air. Seven layers of domains were instantly added to the spear tip.

Suddenly, a spear thrust out.

With lightning speed, it pierced through Galesi in an instant.

"what!"

Galesi screamed in agony, and the next second he felt the world around him begin to turn chaotic.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself on a black, dead planet. His family and friends, facing a cosmic-level powerhouse, were as fragile as paper, crushed to pieces with a single glance.

Fear swept over him like a tidal wave, and he let out a hysterical scream as terror permeated the air.

In that instant, the surrounding space shattered again, the environment was destroyed, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself in the waiting area of ​​the virtual universe.

"I'm dead???"

Galesi was incredulous; at the last moment, he was pulled into the illusion.

impossible!
How could a martial artist use illusion magic!

The hundred people on the same stage, and the remaining ninety contestants around them, all stared at Galesi in astonishment.

Surprisingly, the one most likely to make it into the top ten in the first round of the competition also died.

That's right!

With Galesi's death, the ten fighters in the ring were finally chosen.

"The first round of the arena has ended, and all ten contestants have advanced!"

As the Nine Swords Master's voice rang out, thunderous cheers erupted from the audience.
