Swallowing the Stars: Becoming a God Starting with a Hundred Generations of Talent

Chapter 76 The Cosmic Finals: Is There Always Something Beyond the Heavens? [Twelfth Update]

In the blink of an eye, more than two years have quietly passed.

Inside the quiet room, Lu Yun remained seated cross-legged, with the "Tears of the Galaxy" set floating in front of him.

Over the past two years, the second stage of the elimination rounds in the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom has been nearing its end, and the final spots will soon be decided.

Lu Yun, on the other hand, devoted all his time to arduous cultivation.

With a thought, the Star Core Crystal and the 108 Star Tear Blades began to combine once more. A deep blue light flowed and converged, and a divine sword, radiant with starlight, slowly took shape.

Compared to more than two years ago, this "Star River Sword" is undoubtedly much more stable. The starlight on the sword is solidified, and the surrounding mist has turned into a thin layer of flowing water, no longer easily dissipating.

But that's all.

Lu Yun frowned almost imperceptibly. He could clearly feel that the energy flow inside the sword still contained a trace of obscurity and disharmony, unable to achieve true harmony.

"It's still a little short."

He sighed softly to himself and waved his hand to dispel the sword's form.

"In the end, I was unable to execute the first move perfectly."

He is not entirely satisfied with his current progress.

He was well aware of his strengths and weaknesses. In this life, thanks to a mysterious soul mutation, his talent in spatial laws was monstrous, and his comprehension speed was incredibly fast.

However, the talent of the fundamental law of water did not receive that hundredfold amplification.

With abundant resources and extraordinary comprehension, he pushed his understanding of the fundamental laws of water to the peak of the ninth level of the domain in just over two years, only one step away from the true threshold of the laws.

But that one kick felt like an insurmountable chasm.

"Comprehension of the laws cannot be rushed." Lu Yun secretly assessed his own strength.

"Gathering 1,008 cosmic kingdoms, geniuses are as numerous as carp crossing a river, among whom countless possess extraordinary comprehension. There are at least dozens, if not hundreds, of those who have crossed the threshold of two different fundamental laws at the Hengxing level."

"My advantage lies in the two hundred times the amplitude of my mental power, which makes my mental power incredibly strong and my ability to control divine weapons far surpasses that of others of the same level."

"All things considered—among all geniuses, I would probably rank in the top twenty."

The top twenty.

This ranking would be enough to make any immortal god take notice, but for Lu Yun, it was not enough.

His goal is the championship of the finals, the only spot!

"We still need to practice."

Lu Yun's eyes once again became calm and still, free from all distracting thoughts.

Since we've hit a bottleneck in our understanding of the laws, let's seek a breakthrough from another angle.

—"The Flow of Ten Thousand Lines".

This is one of his fundamental techniques as a mentalist. If he can cultivate it to the third level, "Hundred Threads Flow," his fighting style will undergo a radical change, and his strength will experience a qualitative leap.

In the quiet room, Lu Yun closed his eyes and his consciousness sank into his sea of ​​consciousness.

He began to divide his thoughts.

The core of cultivating the third level of "Myriad Flows" lies in the division of consciousness and the control of multiple lines.

One divides into two, two divides into four, four divides into eight —

This represents an exponential increase in difficulty. Each split feels like tearing a gash in one's soul, requiring immense willpower and exquisite control to maintain stability.

Initially, Lu Yun could only differentiate into nine consciousnesses, forming nine clones, which was the limit of the "Nine-Line Flow".

But after more than two years of trials and tribulations, his soul is no longer what it used to be.

"point!"

Lu Yun thought to himself, "This is a low shout."

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, his consciousness instantly multiplied from one to ten, eleven, twelve—

Inside the quiet room, one after another, illusory figures identical to Lu Yun appeared out of thin air.

Each clone possesses independent thought and can engage in different forms of cultivation.

One of the clones is deducing the energy structure of the "Star River Sword".

One of the clones is sensing the fluctuations of the fundamental laws of water.

Another clone was manipulating an ordinary telekinetic throwing knife, practicing the most basic control techniques.

Twenty —

Thirty —

Forty —

When forty-eight clones of Lu Yun appeared simultaneously in the quiet room, he finally felt a sense of exhaustion and tearing from the depths of his soul, and had no choice but to stop.

Forty-eight lifelike clones, each simultaneously engaged in different cultivation practices, creating an incredibly bizarre scene.

This is already far beyond the realm of "Nine-Line Flow," but it is still a long way from the threshold of "Hundred-Line Flow," which has a hundred clones.

"It's still not enough—"

Lu Yun's main consciousness looked at the room full of clones and slowly shook his head.

"Forty-eight clones are not enough to create a qualitative change and constitute a true hundred-line flow."

"

He knew he still needed more experience and training.

Time is still of the essence.

Several more months have passed.

In the past few months, Lu Yun has spent most of his time in the meditation room cultivating diligently.

Meanwhile, the entire human realm of the universe is becoming increasingly lively due to the upcoming finals of the Peak Genius Battle.

Finally, that day arrived.

Lan Yangxing, the ancestral home of the Luo family.

All the core members of the family, including Luo Shan and Luo Zhan, gathered outside Lu Yun's courtyard.

"Xiao Yun," Clan Chief Luo Shan looked at the increasingly profound and serene young man, his eyes filled with pride and anticipation, "Go! Go and let the whole universe see just how brilliant our Luo family's genius is!"

"Brother! Go for it!" Luo Qing swung her fist vigorously, her beautiful face flushed red with excitement.

"Young Master will surely win!"

"Luo Yun will win!"

The shouts of the tribesmen converged into a wave of heat.

Lu Yun looked at the familiar faces before him and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He nodded slightly to the crowd.

"rest assured."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yun's figure disappeared from the spot.

Virtual universe, Ancient Wheel Continent.

This is a gathering place specially prepared for the 1000 geniuses who will advance in the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom.

Inside a magnificent palace, dozens of figures had gathered in twos and threes. They were all strong individuals who had emerged from the brutal elimination rounds, and each of them carried the arrogance of a genius.

-

A flash of light appeared, and Lu Yun's figure appeared at the entrance of the main hall.

A servant in a silver uniform immediately came forward and bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness Luo Yun, welcome to the Gathering Hall."

Lu Yun nodded slightly and stepped inside.

His appearance was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly changing the atmosphere of the entire hall.

The geniuses who were talking suddenly stopped, and all their gazes turned to him, filled with curiosity, scrutiny, and deep apprehension.

"He is Luo Yun—"

"Such a strong aura. Just by standing there, he gives people an invisible pressure."

"That guy was like a monster; that elimination round match was a nightmare for me."

Quiet murmurs arose from the crowd.

Everyone present was a prodigy of the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom, yet they all felt their brilliance completely suppressed in front of this black-haired youth.

In a corner of the crowd, Eliza stood with several geniuses from wealthy families, their expressions somewhat unnatural.

Eliza, in particular, is no longer the arrogant and domineering woman she once was. She simply stands quietly, and when she sees Lu Yun's gaze sweep over her, she even subconsciously lowers her head, becoming incredibly obedient.

She dared not provoke this wicked man again.

Just then, a mocking voice came from the side.

"Hey, Eliza, isn't that the one who told you to get lost back then? What, now you don't even dare to lift your head when you see her?"

The speaker was a young nobleman of similar distinguished origin. His family had always been at odds with Eliza's family, and naturally, he wouldn't miss this opportunity to kick someone when they were down.

Eliza's face flushed instantly. She looked up sharply and glared at the young man.

But she couldn't find any words to refute it.

She could only bite her lip and let out a cold snort.

"snort!"

"What's there to be so smug about?" Eliza said in a low voice, as if to encourage herself. "He's all the rage now, but only within our little world of the Ancient Wheel Universe. He's never seen the outside world!"

She lowered her voice and said indignantly to her companion beside her, "I've heard that the Asura 'Morosa' of the 'Ancient Demon Universe Kingdom' is the son of the immortal powerhouse 'King Moryu,' born to fight!"

"And then there's the Soul Emperor of the Illusory Sea Universe Kingdom, Xianyin. It's said her soul attacks are invisible and traceless, making them impossible to defend against!"

"And that martial arts fanatic from the Heavenly Martial Universe Kingdom," rumored to be a battle maniac, possessing unparalleled brute strength among his peers!

Eliza's voice carried a hint of inexplicable pleasure.

"These three are the undisputed strongest monsters of this generation! Luo Yun hasn't even met them yet. Once he does, he'll certainly have a hard time!"

Upon hearing this, none of the geniuses from the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom beside her said anything.

They didn't understand Eliza's logic.

Does the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom gain face after being taught a lesson by geniuses from other universe nations?

However, they also had to admit it in their hearts.

Although it's just a rumor, the reputations of Morosa, Xianyin, and Wuchi are so great that their recognized strength is indeed far superior to Luo Yun's.

They also believed that Luo Yun would probably be no match for these three.
