Swallowing the Stars: I Have a Primordial Dao Seed

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

The clear voice of the silver-robed man echoed throughout the finals plane: "All participants, prepare yourselves. We are about to conduct a mass teleportation. You will be transported to your respective independent trial spaces."

At this moment, the 1.08 million geniuses of the 1,008 universe nations had already gotten up early and gathered in the lobby of their respective buildings, their eyes filled with both tension and anticipation.

This trial that will determine our fate is finally about to begin.

Suddenly, an invisible force enveloped the entire dimensional space.

Zhou Yuan felt a blur before his eyes, and the scenery around him changed instantly. The next second, he found himself on a vast and boundless continent.

Looking up, seven colossal towers, each over ten kilometers high, stand before you. Each tower spans several kilometers in circumference, resembling seven straight mountain peaks, exuding an ancient and majestic aura. The tower gates are engraved with numbers from 1 to 7, clearly indicating the order of the challenges.

Zhou Yuan looked at his left arm, and a light blue virtual screen appeared out of thin air. It was very similar to the interface during the Zi Chen Universe Kingdom elimination round. Zhou Yuan's information appeared on the screen.

Participant: Zhou Yuan (Zi Chen Universe Kingdom)

Points: 0

Ranking: None

Trial Space Location: Number 0070001.

Below the screen are the detailed trial rules, which are consistent with those previously announced.

At the very bottom, there was a leaderboard that updated in real time. Zhou Yuan glanced at it; everyone on the leaderboard currently had 0 points, and the rankings had not yet been updated.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Yuan's figure blurred, and he flew straight towards the first trial tower. As soon as he entered the trial tower, the light screen on his arm displayed the target of this trial tower: "First Tower, First Floor: 1 ferocious beasts, Vajra Lions".

The tower's interior was vast and boundless. On the endless plain, ten thousand enormous Vajra Lions, their bodies covered in golden manes, roared furiously. Upon seeing Zhou Yuan, they immediately unleashed a deafening roar and surged towards him like a tidal wave.

Zhou Yuan drew the Zhenkong Blade, its blade flashing with the secret patterns of the Earth Origin Law and the Space Origin Law, and charged directly at the Vajra Lion.

He was incredibly fast, his figure like a ghost, weaving through the beasts. With each strike, he took down a Vajra Lion without a single wasted movement.

puff!puff!puff!

With a flash of sword light, one after another, the Vajra Lions fell to the ground.

Soon, Zhou Yuan killed 10,000 Vajra Lions, earning 10,000 points, and his ranking rose to first place.

brush!

Zhou Yuan's vision blurred, and he was teleported to the second floor of the first tower. The screen refreshed again: "First Tower, Second Floor: Ten Thousand Azure Scaled Wolves."

The biggest difference between monsters and ferocious beasts lies in their intelligence.

The ten thousand blue-scaled wolves before them were not only agile and nimble, covered in blue scales, but also knew how to fight in a coordinated manner.

Upon seeing Zhou Yuan, they immediately split into several small teams and flanked him from different directions, cooperating seamlessly as if they had undergone extensive training.

But in the face of absolute power, any tactic seems pale and powerless. Zhou Yuan, as before, transformed into a bolt of lightning, each strike precisely reaping the lives of the Azure Scale Wolves. Soon, Zhou Yuan had cleared out the demonic beasts on this level.

Next comes the third level, where the opponents are the 1000-strong metal lifeform, the Sharp Edge Clan. These metal lifeforms are made entirely of hard metal, giving them extremely strong defenses.

But even that couldn't stop Zhou Yuan's overwhelming strength; he still killed them all with a single strike. For Zhou Yuan, these ordinary opponents posed no challenge whatsoever; he dispatched them one by one!

The fourth level is also inhabited by demons, this time by 1000 snow roc demon beasts, one of the royal families of the demon race.

Xue Peng is skilled in flight and extremely fast. However, it was still easily defeated by Zhou Yuan's overwhelming strength!

The fifth layer consists of 100 puppets of the mechanical race.

The mechanical golems are made of alloy, possess powerful bodies, and can launch combined attacks, making them formidable opponents. But they are still annihilated in an instant!

The sixth level contains the Nine-Headed Beasts, the royal family of the demon race, numbering ten.

The Nine-Meng Beast's gene level is six times higher, meaning its basic strength is six times that of Zhou Yuan's virtual universe simulated body. However, the difference in laws and domains still results in an instant kill!

The seventh level, the Zerg hive, 1. Before the Zerg hive could spawn enough Zerg beasts, Zhou Yuan instantly killed the Queen!

In this way, Zhou Yuan instantly killed his way through the first trial tower and, without lingering, teleported directly to the first floor of the second tower.

The target on the first floor of the second tower was still ten thousand Vajra Lions, but their strength had clearly increased. However, it was still no challenge for Zhou Yuan. He simply wiped out all the targets on the entire floor in a flash, and then teleported to the second floor.

Then, just like with the first tower, they wiped out everything in their path, rushing straight into the third tower, and then the fourth.

Meanwhile, the highest-ranking contestant had only just reached the second tower, while Zhou Yuan's progress far surpassed that of the others.

……

As the finals began, the attention across the entire virtual universe skyrocketed. Countless viewers followed the competition through the virtual universe's live streaming platform, but this time there was no live broadcast of the finals; instead, the virtual universe company updated the leaderboard every ten seconds.

Every time the rankings are updated, they spark heated discussions among countless viewers. Some rise in the rankings, while others fall, but Zhou Yuan's name has always firmly occupied the number one position, leaving countless viewers in awe.

In the Zichen Universe Kingdom, Zhou Yuan has become an idol for the entire younger generation!

To meet the needs of its audience, Virtual Universe also produced a series of promotional videos showcasing the battle scenes of the top 1,000 players.

Zhou Yuan's video was placed in the most prominent position. The short video, which was only a little over ten seconds long, showed him fighting the Azure Scale Wolf.

In the video, Zhou Yuan's movements are graceful and precise, each strike reaping a life at just the right moment. His extremely simple fighting style leaves all viewers in awe.

"Zhou Yuan is indeed number one, his strength is too strong! Our Zi Chen Universe Kingdom has hope this time!"

"And Karen is also in the top 100. Our Zichen Universe Kingdom is definitely going to be number one this time!"

"Prince Yan Lie is ranked in the top ten; he truly deserves to be called a genius of the Yanlong Universe Kingdom!"

"Safir is ranked second; she's beautiful and cool, simply a goddess!"

In the central square of the finals plane, 1,008 immortal gods sat together, watching the challenges of all the contestants.

1.08 million screens float around them, displaying the battle scenes of each genius in real time.

The immortals discussed the performances of the geniuses from various universes in small groups, and Zhou Yuan was undoubtedly the most discussed subject.

"As expected, Zhou Yuan is still firmly in first place. His strength advantage is too great. What level do you think he can reach in the seventh tower?" an immortal wearing golden armor said with a smile.

"How about we make a bet? I'll set the odds, betting on which floor Zhou Yuan can reach in the seventh tower," another immortal suggested.

"I'll just bet a little bit; I'll bet 100 Mixed Yuan Units on the second level." This amount of money is nothing to the Immortals present; it's just a small bet for fun.

"I'm betting on the second layer, 100 Mixed Yuan Units."

"I'm also betting on the second layer, 100 mixed units."

"I'm betting on the third layer, 100 Mixed Yuan Units."
