Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 19 The battle of geniuses begins!
Two and a half years later,

On every island and every continent in the virtual universe, no matter it was day or night, a shocking scene appeared in the sky at this moment: an extremely huge black banner with bright light flashing on the edges, covering the entire world like a sky curtain.

The pitch-black notice was engraved with rows of words emitting dazzling white light, shining like stars.

"Universe Humanity - Battle of Top Geniuses"

“Once in a million years!”

“Coming soon!”

"Hosted by the Virtual Universe Company and all the Universe Countries!"

"Do you consider yourself a genius? Do you find it hard to find an opponent among people of the same level? Then, come and participate in the 'Top Genius Battle'! Here, countless cosmic countries from the entire universe and hundreds of millions of geniuses will gather to start an unprecedented fierce showdown!"

"For details, please visit the official website of the 'Virtual Universe Network' through the virtual assistant."

In the boundless night sky, this huge notice suddenly appeared out of thin air without any warning, and its length and width exceeded a million miles.

Therefore, even on the huge Black Dragon Mountain Island with a population of hundreds of millions, people living on this island can clearly see the notice hanging high in the sky as long as they look up!

"Is the battle of top geniuses about to begin? Wow, haha, this is simply going to drive me crazy."

"Are the billions of geniuses from all the nations in the universe going to engage in a fierce battle?"

"This is a grand event for the entire human race."

"I heard that if you can enter the top 1,000 in the overall ranking of the entire universe, you will receive an astonishingly huge reward."

"Well, this year's event is hosted by the Virtual Universe Company, so the prize money must be high beyond imagination."

"The Peak Genius Battle is held twice every ten thousand years. One is held by the Virtual Universe Company, and the other is held by the Giant Axe Fighting Arena!"

"Hurry up and go to the official website to check the detailed information." In that magical virtual universe, every vast continent representing the 'Cosmic Country', every beautiful island symbolizing the 'Medium Country in the Universe', has huge notices appearing one after another above them, and each notice is vigorously promoting the shocking news that the 'Cosmic Humanity - Peak Genius Battle' is about to be held in a grand manner.

In an instant, countless people fell into extreme madness!

In just one night, this shocking news spread like a storm throughout all areas of the universe that humanity is involved in.

"coming!"

In the courtyard of a villa in Jiuxing Bay, Jiang Ye looked up at the notice in the sky, his tone full of excitement.

"After three years of hard training, I don't know how far I can go!"

……

In a vast, mysterious and boundless kingdom of God, there are mountains of blazing fire suspended in the sky.

At this moment, a huge figure with hair as red as burning flames and the whole body vaguely bathed in hot flames, about seven or eight meters tall, stood high in the air.

Beside him, the Realm Masters stood in a row, their expressions solemn. In front of him, thousands of energetic and vibrant young people knelt down.

"You are the most elite and outstanding disciples of my 'Skyfire Kingdom'." The magnificent voice, like thunder, echoed in the ears of thousands of young people like a rolling torrent. "As long as anyone among you can successfully pass the initial preliminary selection and successfully enter the arena battle! Then I will make an exception and accept him as my personal disciple. If he can make it into the top 1000 of our universe country, I will grant him a galaxy as his exclusive territory!" The god in the flame said indifferently.

"Yes, Lord God!" More than a thousand young people responded respectfully in unison.

"A battle of geniuses? It's actually a battle of geniuses among all the cosmic countries in the entire universe?" A man with messy hair as if he had never taken a care of himself, more than three meters tall, walked with big strides on a very desolate mountain with a pair of bare feet.

His broad shoulders trembled slightly, and with a short knife on his back, he raised his head and laughed heartily like a loud bell, "Haha, this is so interesting. I haven't met an opponent who can really make my blood boil and compete with me for a long time! I hope this genius battle won't disappoint me too much!"

Not far behind him, there lay quietly the body of a dead first-class universe-level warrior. The ground around the body seemed to be stained with undried blood.

……

In the vast universe, there is a planet with a charming blue color. On the entire planet, plants grow extremely lush and dense, like a green ocean, full of vigorous vitality. Among this vast vegetation, there are many indigenous people living here, who continue their ancient way of life and live in harmony with nature.

What is strange is that there is almost no trace of technological civilization on this planet.

However, on this seemingly primitive planet, the strength of the warriors is unimaginably strong. There are even dozens of cosmic-level warriors, and the number of stellar-level warriors is astonishingly large.

According to common sense, a planet with such powerful military force should have entered the ranks of cosmic civilization long ago. Unless its geographical location is too remote and difficult to be discovered and touched by the outside world; or it is the exclusive territory of a superpower, which is subject to special protection and restrictions.

You know, there are some powerful people with extraordinary strength. They will specially select some planets for cultivation and keep these planets from being invaded by technology.

"100 ninth-level star-level warriors and spiritualists will unite to besiege you soon." A bald old man in a white robe said slowly.

Beside him stood a young man in white with an extremely strong body and a blood-red sword on his back.

"Yes."

The young man in white had a calm expression and nodded slightly in response.

a moment later

In that empty space, a young man in a white robe stood quietly, with hundreds of corpses lying around him. However, surprisingly, the young man's white robe was not stained with blood, as if the brutal fight just now had nothing to do with him.

"Very good." The bald old man in a white robe next to him looked at the young man in a white robe, his eyes flashing with light, "You have made great progress compared to the past. You are the most amazing genius I have ever seen in my wanderings in these billions of galaxies."

Hearing this, the young man in white couldn't help but tremble slightly. His cold eyes turned to the bald man in white robe, his eyes full of astonishment: "Teacher, you, you just..."

You know, ever since he followed this extremely powerful man, he has never heard such obvious praise. At most, he heard simple words like "okay" or "average".

"Teacher, there is nothing more I can teach you." The bald old man in white robe said slowly.

"Teacher, I--" The young man in white opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he was not good at speaking, so he didn't know how to express himself for a moment.

"Go and take part in the Universe Genius Battle. With your strength, it will be easy for you to enter the top 1,000 of the universe ranking. Only in a place like the Virtual Universe Company, where there are so many strong people, can you find a teacher who is truly suitable to teach a genius like you." The bald man in white robe said seriously, "Wait until you achieve immortality, then come find a teacher." After that, with a whoosh, the bald old man in white robe disappeared out of thin air.

"teacher--"
