Swallowing the Stars: Starting from the Endless Dungeon

Chapter 78 Starry Sky Hanging List

Boom!

The flames and lightning collided, creating chaos and shockwaves that momentarily unsteadied Hector.

Moreover, the power of the lightning law took the opportunity to invade his body. Even though it was not much, it still had a significant impact on him.

He finally understood where the sense of crisis he felt came from: the genius of the Eternal Star level in front of him had actually comprehended the power of the laws!

Su Jing ignored the flames on his body and saw the injured Hector. Although the opponent was not seriously injured, it was still a breakthrough. Before, he could only kite the opponent with his movement techniques and could not break through the opponent's defense. But now it was different. Hector was injured, which meant that his attack was coming. Without hesitation, Su Jing attacked again. With the support of the Lightning Law, his attack was not bad now. In addition, with his outstanding movement techniques, the advantage in this battle was in his hands!

boom!!

Unleashing a burst of power regardless of its cost, Su Jing's every strike was delivered with full force. Terrifying blade light pierced through the air, distorting space and carrying a blood-red killing intent as it hurtled towards Hector. Cracks appeared continuously on the ground, and shockwaves surged for hundreds of kilometers around, darkening the sky.

Su Jing kept attacking. Since he had the advantage in movement and was in the first place, he naturally took advantage of Su Jing's weakness to finish him off!

Meanwhile, Hector used his movement techniques to dodge, only engaging Su Jing head-on when he couldn't avoid it. However, in the clash, their combat power was about the same, but Su Jing had the advantage of the laws. The power of the laws is not something that other forces can easily dissipate. With the balance of power shifting, he might actually be defeated by this genius of the Eternal Star level!

After realizing his predicament, Hector began to fight desperately, launching attacks on Su Jing without regard for anything else. Even if he was injured, he would still attack Su Jing, using a strategy of trading injury for injury. He refused to believe that the guy in front of him was all-powerful!

Half an hour later, the once peaceful Radiant Realm was now riddled with craters and holes, where the power of fire and lightning clashed, with the lightning being particularly potent, possessing an aura of eternal destruction. In one large crater, Su Jing lay severely injured, his body blackened by the flames, his battle armor showing signs of melting. Hector, dragging his wounded body, stood at the edge of the crater and asked, "Speak, I don't recall us ever meeting before. Why did you try to kill me right away?"

Su Jing was seriously injured, and he was also in bad shape. The fighting style of exchanging injuries meant that the power of the lightning law had no time to dissipate. He was only slightly stronger than Su Jing now, and it would take a lot of time to recover. The most crucial thing was that erasing the power of the law was a huge undertaking. He only had one question now: why did Su Jing fight so desperately to kill him? Now that Su Jing was seriously injured, he was also in bad shape, so he was eager to know the answer to this question. He was certain that he had never seen Su Jing before. After all, he had no way of coming into contact with such a peerless genius who could comprehend the laws at the Hengxing level.

"Hehe, it was my mistake this time. See you next time!"

Without hesitation, Su Jing chose to end his life, not wanting to waste any more time. After all, he was already seriously injured and it would be too difficult for him to recover. Why waste this little bit of time when he would eventually die anyway?

Emerging from the dungeon, Su Jing was somewhat frustrated. His movement technique was currently superior to Hector's, and his combat strength was roughly equal to, or even stronger than, Hector's, given that the power of laws was far superior to Hector's domain. However, he lacked in defense and endurance. He couldn't withstand prolonged exchanges of injury, as he was ultimately only a Constant Star level cultivator; his fundamental limitations were fixed. This was a major problem for him. Among those at the same level, his defense was certainly not bad, but it paled in comparison to his offensive and movement techniques. There wasn't a good way to compensate for this. One method was to find a suitable defensive secret technique and cultivate it, which would naturally improve his defense. However, his strongest technique was the Lightning Law, which wasn't outstanding in defense; its strengths lay in movement and attack. The best defense, however, belonged to the Earth Law, but unfortunately, his Earth Domain was only at level one, rendering it largely ineffective in such battles.

The second method is to improve one's foundation, the simplest being to raise one's cultivation level, but this is unattainable and must be ruled out. The third method is to replace one's battle armor with a high-grade one, but this is also beyond his current means, as the price of a high-grade battle armor is beyond his current budget. With no other option, Su Jing chooses the fourth method: continue to improve his combat power. As long as his attack is high enough, the best defense is offense. Kill the opponent before they can kill him, and then there's no need to worry about defense anymore. And this path is currently very promising!

After all, he can acquire more Lightning Fruits, further enhance his laws, improve his power, and upgrade his secret techniques, such as the Nine Blades of Purple Lightning, to the ninth level. Therefore, his combat power can be greatly enhanced. Once his combat power is increased, he can kill Hector in a short time, so he won't need to worry about defense!

Hmm! That makes sense. My next goal is to continue improving my combat power until I can kill Hector in a short time.

Just as Su Jing was preparing to continue comprehending the laws to improve himself, a message popped up in the virtual universe. Su Jing opened it and saw that it was his father, who told him to enter the virtual universe quickly, as if something important had happened.

Without hesitation, Su Jing entered the virtual universe with his mind. The next moment, Su Jing appeared on the Spirit Pattern Island in the virtual universe and immediately knew the big thing his father had mentioned. He saw that in the originally dark sky, an extremely huge black banner with light radiating from its edges appeared out of thin air. On this black banner, there were characters that emitted a dazzling white light.

"Universe Humanity - Battle of the Ultimate Geniuses"

"Once in a million years!"

"Coming soon!"

"This event is jointly organized by Virtual Universe Company and all the universe nations!"

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

This enormous notice suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the night sky. It was over a million miles long and wide. Even on the Spirit Pattern Island, which had hundreds of millions of people, everyone could clearly see the notice if they looked up!

At this moment, no matter which universe nation you belong to, which secret realm you are in, or even if you are not within the territory of the human race, as long as you are in a place that can connect to the virtual universe, you can see this huge notice. Everyone knows that this is the start of the Genius Battle.
