Swallowing the Stars: Starting from the Endless Dungeon

Chapter 89 Blood Demon

Time flew by amidst the carnage. In the 36th World District, ten days had passed. During these ten days, Su Jing had rarely rested, practically slaughtering the entire city. The remaining Star-level warriors were all intimidated by Su Jing and were playing hide-and-seek within the city. He was too lazy to search for them slowly and was now on his way to other cities. Ten days had passed, and the initial battles were over. Those who survived were now Star-level warriors of considerable strength, at least no longer ordinary ones. He glanced down at his score: Participant: Su Jing; Score: 4534618

Ranking: 50

With over 4.5 million points, he essentially pocketed all the points from that city. In ten days, he hadn't encountered a single opponent who forced him to make a second move. The strongest Eternal Star he encountered was only at the eighth level of the Domain Realm. Facing Su Jing, who had a significant understanding of the Laws, the outcome was predictable. As for others joining forces, on the fourth day, he did encounter one. Presumably because he had been too aggressive, over a thousand Eternal Star contestants united to eliminate him. However, none of them were Eternal Stars who had mastered the Laws, so they couldn't restrain him at all. They were simply offering him points, which he naturally accepted. After that battle, he didn't encounter any more large-scale contestants. Many contestants preferred to leave the city rather than stay with him. Looking at his ranking, if... At this rate, he might still be able to compete for the top spot. After all, the top player in each world region advances directly without participating in the arena battles, which saves a lot of time. Previously, he had underestimated his strength. Although most of the contestants who could enter the top 1,000 of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom possessed laws, a large majority of them had only just touched the surface, barely grasped the basics, and reached the threshold. Compared to him, they were far inferior. So he had underestimated his strength. Of course, if he were in the second stage now, it would still be difficult to enter the top 1,000. The geniuses who could enter the top 1,000 in the second stage had all crossed the threshold of laws and possessed considerable secret techniques. So, he was probably at the bottom of the rankings at that level. However, he still had time to become stronger and improve.

Before long, he arrived at a new city. As soon as he arrived, he was warmly welcomed by others. Six Realm-level experts with Domains were lying in ambush here, probably specifically targeting people from other cities. After all, those who dare to cross city borders include not only powerful experts, but also ordinary Realm-level experts who have escaped, just like the group that escaped from his city before.

Without hesitation, Su Jing directly suppressed with his domain, slashing towards one of them. "Crimson battle armor, crimson lightning law, from a city in the southeast, it's the Blood Demon! The Blood Demon has arrived!"

One of them looked at Su Jing's appearance in horror and said that the six of them had been hunting Hengxing from other cities in this direction. Their understanding of Su Jing came from the Hengxing who had escaped. Since they did not know the other people's names, they all used nicknames.

Blood Demon, who wields the laws of lightning, moves with unpredictable speed and can slaughter an entire city single-handedly. Even when surrounded by thousands of contestants, he was killed in the process. Because Su Jing is dressed in blood and covered in crimson lightning, he is known as Blood Demon!

Upon seeing that it was the Blood Demon, the remaining five dared not even think of resisting. After all, that was the Blood Demon, a being who had slaughtered an entire city, someone they were simply not capable of dealing with. The reason they had been lying in wait on the outskirts was because they were not strong enough, so they chose to come here to earn points. But now that they had encountered the Blood Demon, there was really no way to escape.

"Lord Blood Demon, spare my life! You've just arrived in this city and must not know its specifics. I'm willing to offer all my intelligence, if only you would spare my life!"

One of the women quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. After all, she didn't have enough points right now. If she was eliminated, she would really have nothing to do with the Genius Battle. This was a Genius Battle that only happened once every five thousand years, and she definitely wouldn't be able to wait for the next one.

The remaining four, seeing the woman's actions, imitated her perfectly, all begging for mercy. As for resistance, they had no intention of doing so. If the difference in strength wasn't too great, they might have considered fighting back, but now the gap between them and the Blood Demon was like an insurmountable chasm. Resistance would be futile, and begging for mercy might offer a sliver of hope. As for whether it was beneath them? Before the Genius Battle, they considered themselves geniuses, but after ten days of slaughter and witnessing the true strength of geniuses, they had long since abandoned their pride. As long as they could survive, what did these humiliations matter? Besides, the one before them was the Blood Demon, someone even the strongest in their city might not be able to defeat. Begging for mercy in front of such a genius was nothing.

"Intelligence? What use would I have for intelligence? I can just sweep through!"

Su Jing chuckled. After all, he came here for the points of those powerful individuals. Their points were more than enough. While intelligence might be useful to others, to him, it was all the same – a clean sweep. The five people opposite him changed their expressions upon hearing Su Jing's reply, each fleeing in a different direction, trying to escape. But in Su Jing's eyes, it was all in vain. With a slight movement and a flash, he killed all five. Looking at his increased points, he realized that those who survived in other cities still had more points. In the previous city, there was still one ordinary Star-level being he hadn't killed yet. It wasn't that they were particularly capable, but rather that he had killed all the powerful ones. Whenever there was a commotion, he would immediately rush over and kill both sides in the battle. Over time, some people who had been hiding from the beginning were still alive. Of course, their survival didn't mean much. In the end, the top 1001 on the points leaderboard were chosen, not the last survivors. The survival of those ordinary Star-level beings was utterly meaningless.

He didn't linger there, flying towards the city center. He slew all the contestants he encountered along the way, and his ranking slowly climbed.

"My brother has already reached 48th place! That's amazing! I want to be as good as him when I grow up!"

As Su Yue watched Su Jing fight, her eyes were filled with pride and longing. She wanted to tell everyone that the person in front of her was her brother!

"Even if I were to encounter a top-tier genius and be eliminated by accident, my current score would definitely be enough to get me into the top 1000!"

Su Bai watched from the side with admiration and envy. His strength as the older brother had been surpassed by his younger brother in an instant, and by a significant margin. He felt that his two hundred years of wandering the universe had been wasted, as his younger brother had only been out in the universe for half a year and had already surpassed him.

"He's truly formidable; so far, no enemy has appeared that has forced him to use his full strength!"

Franka exclaimed in admiration. He had been worried that Su Jing might be overwhelmed by the crowd, but seeing him effortlessly subdue a thousand men, he was completely relieved. Looking at Su Jing's physique, he couldn't help but admire him. After Su Jing taught him the secret technique, he had tried to cultivate it himself; the difficulty was exceptionally high. Now, the secret technique Su Jing displayed had reached a very high level. He wondered how Su Jing had improved the technique so much in just a few months, and his combat experience was also remarkable. The more Franka thought about it, the more he felt his son was exceeding expectations, completely unaware of the limits of Su Jing's strength. But no matter what, Su Jing was still his son, strong or weak, that wouldn't change!

"Franka, you've really raised a fine son this time! Even if Su Jing can't get into the Virtual Universe Company, getting into the core of other major powers will definitely be no problem!"

Devis said with a hint of sourness, "I used to have the upper hand over Franka, but I never expected that at the last moment, this guy would have such an outstanding son. What good luck!"

"Hehe, you don't understand, do you? Why don't you try finding a suitable girl someday? Maybe your son will be even more talented than Su Jing."

Franka chuckled and said that Su Jing was going to make him proud. Many of his friends who knew Su Jing was his son were also expressing their congratulations.

"Heh, I think I'll pass. Being alone isn't so bad—"

Devis shook his head and rejected Franka's idea; he had no time for such things before he could avenge his great grudge.

Franka didn't say much, just patted Devis on the shoulder. He knew his old friend's thoughts better than anyone and knew there was no way to persuade him otherwise.

On a nearby spaceship, Austin watched with a smile as Su Jing's ranking steadily climbed the leaderboard, while Sheen wore a gloomy expression, devoid of any of his initial joy. The experiences of the past ten days had completely shifted their moods. Austin, who initially had little confidence in his prodigy, had witnessed Su Jing's ranking steadily improve over those ten days—

With each significant improvement, his face beamed with smiles, while Sheen's expression darkened considerably.

"Auston, your Spirit Pattern Empire is really lucky this time, producing such a genius!"

"Yes, ranking in the top fifty of District 36, with such strength, they have absolutely no problem reaching the first stage and can represent the vanguard of the great Qianwu Universe Kingdom in the war!"

Hearing the congratulations from the other imperial princes around him, Austin was overjoyed. Looking at the silent Sheen beside him, he said, "Sheen, I really have to thank you for your cosmic coins this time. A billion cosmic coins! I need to think about how to spend them. After all, it's not hard to spend free cosmic coins!"

Austin chuckled, his face full of mockery. After all, this guy had tried to scheme against him, but now he'd only lost more than he gained. The best result for their Skyfire Empire was a genius who reached 721st place in the 57th World Region. If it were before, this genius would indeed have been able to surpass the geniuses of their Spirit Pattern Empire. But now, Su Jing's sudden emergence had made all of that meaningless! The gap between them was simply too great!

"Hmph, it's not the final moment yet. Who knows what the outcome will be? You'd better pray that nothing unexpected happens!"

"I'm talking coldly," said Sheen, though he knew in his heart that he had been reckless this time. He hadn't expected such a genius to emerge from the Spirit Pattern Empire, already in the top fifty. It was no surprise at all. He was just being stubborn. At the same time, he was worried about the 1 billion cosmic coins he had bet on. He didn't even have 1 billion cosmic coins on hand. He had originally chosen this number because he had investigated how much wealth Austin had. He never expected that he would shoot himself in the foot this time. It was 1 billion cosmic coins!

He will likely incur a large amount of foreign debt because of this.
